Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general

Unexpectedly, upon hearing the purpose of the visit, the colleague started to complain:

"Brother Shen, you are kidding. You have a mansion granted by the emperor in the capital, and you have a lot of servants to serve you. When I go to the capital to take up my post, I can only rent a small courtyard with two entrances. The whole family is crowded together, and I dare not even hire a servant to do rough work. If I had such a large sum of money, why would I be so poor?"

I asked seven or eight families in a row, and every family had an excuse, and it seemed like every family was struggling to make ends meet!

Shen Zhili was so angry that his nose wasn't a nose and his eyes weren't eyes, he almost stood in the street and cursed!

Thinking that his grandfather had saved the emperor's life, he had also made great contributions in controlling the flood.

This group of people are so blind that they refuse to lend even a tael of silver!

When he becomes successful in the future, he will definitely spit at them!

"My Lord? Why are you here?"

Shen Zhili was walking dejectedly when he heard someone calling him. He looked up and found that it was the doorman of Xie Mansion!

Before he knew it, he arrived at the gate of Xie's house.

"My Lord, have you had breakfast? My master will be back from court soon. Would you please go in and wait?" The concierge was very attentive.

A servant like him has sharp ears and eyes, and is more informed than the women in the inner house.

The two daughters of Xie family, one real and one fake, both entered the Marquis' Mansion, which shows how much the master values ​​Shen Zhili!

Shen Zhili entered Xie's house in a daze. Before he finished his bowl of lotus leaf porridge, he heard someone outside the study reporting that the master had returned home!

He immediately stood up and straightened his clothes. In front of Xie Huaizhong, Shen Zhili did not dare to put on airs as a marquis.

"My dear son-in-law is here?" Xie Huaizhong had just come out of court and was very hungry. He hurriedly waved his hand and asked the maid to sit anywhere, then picked up the porridge handed to him by the maid and started to eat in silence.

Shen Zhili sat upright, his eyes fixed on his half bowl of porridge.

Seeing this, the maid asked, "Sir, do you want some more?"

Shen Zhili waved his hands hurriedly, saying no, and kept glancing at Xie Huaizhong.

Seeing that his father-in-law was concentrating on drinking porridge and didn't seem to pay attention to what was happening over there, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"My dear son-in-law, are you here today for something important?" Xie Huaizhong rinsed his mouth, wiped his hands, straightened his clothes, and then looked at Shen Zhili.

"I..." Shen Zhili stammered, unable to explain.

Xie Huaizhong frowned slightly. How could he be considered a capable person with such appearance?

Seeing his father-in-law's unhappy face, Shen Zhili got anxious and told him about the discussion with Xie Feiwan.

Finally, with a guilty look on his face, he said, "I wonder if my father-in-law can be flexible?"

"What concessions?" Xie Huaizhong said indifferently. He picked up the book on the desk and started flipping through it.

"That is...Lan'er's betrothal gift, can you delay it?" Shen Zhili said, and immediately raised three fingers:

"Don't worry, father-in-law. As long as I find a job in Beijing, I will be able to deal with Xie Feiwan sooner or later!"

"Let Lan'er come back to live with us!" Xie Huaizhong turned a page and added, "Let all three of them come back. The Xie family can afford it!"

Shen Zhili was stunned: "What does father-in-law mean?"

Xie Huaizhong ran out of patience, threw the book away, and gave him a cold look:

"You can't afford the betrothal gift, but you want my Xie family to marry off my daughter. Can I still stand in the court with my dignity in the future?"

"Kelan and I are already husband and wife, and we have two children!"

Shen Zhili screamed. He didn't expect Xie Huaizhong would actually want to break up the couple!

"So what?" Xie Huaizhong slammed the desk and said, "I would rather put her in a pig cage than let her damage the reputation of the Xie family!"

Shen Zhili's body was cold and his lips were trembling: "The emperor has already granted the marriage. Isn't this an attempt to disobey the emperor's order?"

"Humph!" Xie Huaizhong's eyes were like knives: "You can try to go to the palace to see the emperor now, and you can also report me!"

Hearing Xie Huaizhong's tone, Shen Zhili became even more confused. He had always boasted that he was favored by the emperor.

Could it be that the emperor also disliked him?

Shen Zhili walked out of the study in a daze. Before he even walked out of the hanging flower door, he heard a "clang" sound coming from the study!

Looking at the broken porcelain on the ground, Xie Huaizhong sighed and fell back on the chair.

"Madam, you left early. What should I do in this situation?"

When Xie Huaizhong closed his eyes, two identical swaddling clothes emerged in his mind!

When Xie Feiwan and Xie Xilan were born, Xie Huaizhong was still a minor official of the sixth rank. Although his ancestors lived in the capital, they had no surplus food.

On his way to take office, his wife went into labor and he had to stay at a merchant's house.

The merchant's name was Gu, he was a wealthy family, very welcoming.

There happened to be a woman in the family who was about to give birth, so all the necessary equipment, including the midwife, was ready!

When the two baby girls were born, they were both wrapped in quilts prepared by the Gu family and placed together. It made people happy just by looking at them!

After staying for half a month, Xie Huaizhong could not afford to delay any longer, so the two families said goodbye reluctantly.

When they were leaving, they held each other's babies and were reluctant to leave.

After traveling for ten days, I finally arrived at my new post and was in a rush to settle down.

When I was sorting out the baby girl's clothes and couldn't find the longevity lock that I had hung on the baby, I realized that the baby girl seemed to have been taken away by the wrong person!

Three months had passed by then. Xie Huaizhong rushed to Gu's house, but the place was empty!

Until ten years ago, when he was on his way back to Beijing to report on his work, he actually met the Gu family!

Excited, he followed the Gu family back home. When he saw Xie Xilan, who looked so much like his wife, Xie Huaizhong hugged his daughter and burst into tears!

After seven or eight years, Xie Huaizhong had achieved good results and was about to return to Beijing to serve as an official.

The Gu family, however, is still the same as before, and the furnishings in the house have not improved at all!

Xie Huaizhong naturally wanted to take his biological daughter back to the Xie family. She was obviously the daughter of an official, so how could she be a lowly merchant's daughter?

The Gu family also wanted to get their daughter back, but Xie Huaizhong rolled his eyes and had other plans!

In order to repay his kindness, the emperor promoted a peasant to a marquis. This story may sound like a beautiful story, but it actually caused so much jokes behind the scenes!

Xie Huaizhong once made fun of the Shen family while in office, but he never expected that he would end up eating the melon himself!

The emperor granted marriage to Xie Feiwan, the daughter of the Xie family, and Shen Zhili, the son of the marquis's mansion!

Just wait until you reach the age of 15 to get married!

Listening to his colleagues' congratulations buzzing in his ears, Xie Huaizhong felt like chewing bitter melon!

But right now, isn’t this a good opportunity?

He found his biological daughter and let Gu's daughter marry into the Shen family.

Even if I suffer some hardships in the future, the Xie family won’t have to feel sorry for me!

If Shen Zhili could be successful, he would also have the advantage of being a father-in-law!

So after a lot of lobbying, the Gu family finally relented and promised not to come to look for Xie Feiwan again.

After all, she was the daughter of an official, and was betrothed to the son of a marquis.

Although the Marquis' family was born from the peasants, they were scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, so how could the Gu family look down on them?

In addition, Xie Huaizhong praised Shen Zhili to the point of being a flower, so the Gu family could only praise Xie Huaizhong's noble character.

Such a good marriage, even after recognizing his biological daughter, he still did not change his mind. Such character is rare in the world!

When Xie Huaizhong took Xie Xilan away, the Gu family not only sorted out Xie Xilan's old utensils, but also gave her 20,000 taels of silver.

Xie Huaizhong tried to refuse, but Gu Jia insisted.

It was stated that this was the dowry for Xie Feiwan and Xie Xilan. If it was not enough, please ask Xie Huaizhong to come and get more!
