A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Su Qingyu was almost amused by the third wife of the Gu family. With the Gu family's status, they could not reach the Shen family even if they climbed up a ladder.

Three generations ago, there were still people in the Gu family who could serve as officials in the imperial court. But in the past three generations, they could only live on their ancestral property.

Gu Jinsong, the young master of the Gu family, is the only scholar of this generation. He relies on the fact that the Gu family is a wealthy family in Pingzhou to bully men and women. But the old lady loves him like a baby and hopes that this nephew will become successful.

A family like this actually wants to get close to the Shen family. How audacious!

Just as Su Qingyu was about to speak, she heard Su Shunci, who was sitting next to her, laugh.

"Third cousin is really funny. The second son of the Shen family is a legitimate son that even a princess can marry. When you were looking for someone to propose marriage in Beijing, no matchmaker dared to take the job, for fear of being kicked out by the Shen family."

"Besides, if cousins ​​marry uncles and nephews, wouldn't that be a generation gap?"

Su Shunci was joking, but the two ladies of the Gu family blushed. They thought to themselves, how could this illegitimate fourth daughter of the Su family be so sharp-tongued despite looking young? She seemed to be smiling and easy to talk to yesterday, but today she was like a completely different person.

Mrs. Gu San disagreed with Su Shunci's words. It was not common for a girl to marry into a wealthy family. Although the family background was a little different, she was afraid of scheming.

Then he blurted out, "Didn't Rujin also become Young Master Shen's concubine in the past?"

After she finished speaking, she saw that the old lady and Su Qingyu's expressions changed.

He quickly changed his words with a smile, "That's true. The difference in generation is not in line with ancient etiquette after all."

"Young Miss has been married for a few months, right? She's not pregnant yet, right? In my opinion, Lord Shen will have to take a concubine sooner or later. Why not let your cousin stay by your side and help you serve Lord Shen?"

She made the decision in an instant. Given the Shen family's status and Shen Zhixiu's position, it would be a great fortune for her daughter to become a concubine.

The more she thought about it, the better she felt this was a good idea, so even though Su Qingyu's expression darkened, she continued to speak.

"You cousins ​​will have someone to take care of you, which is better than marrying someone else into the mansion."

"Don't worry, your cousin is gentle and won't compete with you for favor. I'm relieved that she's under your nose."

The third wife, Mrs. Hai, could not help but speak up, "What are you saying, cousin? Qingyu just got married, so it's normal that she's not pregnant yet. If Jinlan wants to find a husband, she can slowly look for one in Beijing. The Shen family is not the only family. As elders, we can't just stuff people into the room of the younger generation."

Mrs. Gu thought to herself that there were indeed many wealthy families in Beijing, but she couldn't get in touch with them. The richest family she could get to was the Shen family, so she naturally had to find a way to capture them.

Su Qingyu laughed out of anger. Do these people think that the Shen family is a rag collector?

"I haven't seen my third cousin from the Gu family for a long time, and I have a big gift for him."

Mrs. Gu San didn't know how she got to the point of giving gifts, but if she had something to accept, she naturally wouldn't refuse.

"How can I be so embarrassed? I wonder what the eldest lady wants to give to your third cousin."

Su Qingyu smiled faintly and took a sip of tea to moisten her throat.

"I've thought about it, and there's nothing good to give as a gift. Why not give two beauties as a gift? It will be a good opportunity for the Gu family to have more children."

"I heard that my third cousin's aunt gave birth to three daughters and no sons. And my third cousin has no concubines. How can this be possible?"

He turned to Feicui and said, "Tell the people below to find two beautiful girls. They must be in good health and look like they can give birth."

Everyone present knew that the third wife of the Gu family was a shrew. She gave birth to three daughters but never allowed her husband to take a concubine. Whenever her husband took a concubine, she would cause unrest in the harem and the concubine would not have a good ending. These things were once widely spread in Pingzhou, and everyone in the Su family had heard about them.

Not having a son and taking a concubine for her husband were the bottom line for Mrs. Gu San. When she heard Su Qingyu say this, she immediately looked displeased.

"Young Miss is very nosy. What does it have to do with you whether we have a son or not?"

Su Qingyu sneered, "Third cousin is right. Whether my husband takes a concubine or not is none of your business."

When he said the last sentence, his tone suddenly became fierce, which frightened Mrs. Gu so much that she subconsciously shrank her neck.

Seeing this, the old lady knew that Su Qingyu was really angry. She quickly tried to smooth things over, "Your third cousin was just talking casually, don't take it seriously."

Su Qingyu glanced at Madam Gu San coldly, lowered her eyes, drank her tea and said nothing more.

Gu Jinsong, who was sitting next to Madam Gu Si, wanted to say something, but was stopped by Madam Gu Si, who shook her head at him. There was no need for them to get involved in such matters.

Su Qingyu also saw this scene and thought that the Fourth Madam was quite shrewd.

Madam Gu San, who was humiliated by Su Qingyu, did not feel ashamed at all. She continued to chat and laugh with the old lady as if nothing had happened.

Not long after, Su Yihui came in with Gu family's third daughter, Gu Jinlan.

Seeing Gu Jinlan wearing a jade-colored skirt with embroidered branches and piled flowers, I knew it was the dress prepared by my grandmother. This style was newly popular in Beijing and the price was not cheap.

As expected, the old lady exclaimed: "They say clothes make the man. Jinlan looks even more charming in this dress. With this look, is there any worry about not being able to marry into a good family?"

This is not the old lady praising her, Gu Jinlan is indeed good-looking. Her face is like a peach, her skin is like cream, and her eyebrows are delicate and pretty.

Hearing the old lady say this, he lowered his head in embarrassment, feeling a little reserved.

Su Yihui smiled and said loudly: "If you want to talk about marrying well, it has to be my eldest sister. Not only is Mr. Shen powerful, but he is also very kind to my eldest sister."

After that, he whispered to Gu Jinlan, "Although Elder Shen is older than us, he is handsome and has a graceful demeanor, and looks much more dignified than a boy of seventeen or eighteen."

Su Shunci frowned as she listened to Su Yihui's words. She tilted her head and whispered to Su Qingyu, "Big sister, why do I feel like she has bad intentions?"

Su Qingyu agreed with this and after thinking about it, she spoke with a smile.

"Third sister, don't just praise your brother-in-law. If we talk about being considerate, it has to be your brother-in-law. Although he has many concubines in his house, I heard that he is very generous to his concubines. He will help any concubines in their families if they have any problems."

Su Yihui was choked and speechless. Su Qingyu openly praised Zhao Ji, but in fact she was saying that Zhao Ji had many concubines.

She was unwilling to accept the decision and was about to say something when the housekeeper came in and reported, "Madam, Third Master Shen and Prince Zhao from the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion have left the court and are here to pay their respects to you."

Upon hearing this, Hai stood up and said, "Mother, I will take my two cousins-in-law and niece to the back to take shelter."

The old lady raised her hand to stop him, "No need, we are all family, so we don't need to be so particular today. Besides, we will have to meet for the birthday celebration later, right?"

Hai felt that something was wrong, but since the old lady said so, she couldn't forcefully drag the person to the back, so she had to step aside.

Su Qingyu understood what the old lady meant. Both of her granddaughters were married into wealthy families. If she didn't show off now, when would she show off?

Shen Zhixiu and Zhao Ji walked in side by side and paid their respects to the old lady as grandsons-in-law.

Seeing that there were elders present, they introduced each other and greeted each other.

Su Yihui gently touched Gu Jinlan and signaled her with her eyes to look at Shen Zhixiu.

"This is my eldest sister's husband, the current Lord Shen."

Gu Jinlan raised his eyes carefully and looked in the direction of Su Yihui's gaze towards Shen Zhixiu.

"So young? Didn't they say that my cousin married someone who was quite old?"

The person in front of me was tall and slender, with clear and elegant features. His gestures revealed a noble demeanor that was not common among ordinary people. No matter how you looked at him, he didn't look old at all.

Su Yihui glanced at Gu Jinlan's dazed expression and smiled with satisfaction.

In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said, "For a person like this, even if you become his concubine, it would be a blessing earned in eight lifetimes."

Gu Jinlan nodded subconsciously, his face flushed and his heart beating fast.
