A Concubine of Salted Fish in Qing Dynasty [Red House]

Yun Shuyao froze for a moment, then looked at Aunt Mei's expectant eyes, and suddenly smiled.

"This joke is really funny, Sister Mei, you came here to have fun with me, otherwise, how could you say such a funny thing?"

The more Yun Shuyao talked, the more she laughed.

That attitude obviously didn't take the matter seriously, or she knew that Aunt Mei was serious, but in her opinion, it was an inappropriate "joke."

Aunt Mei came to bring up the matter because she wanted to be a matchmaker.

And the person she wants to match is Yun Shuyao's younger brother Yun Yan.

He is coming this year, and he plans to participate in Qiu Wei with his brother this year. He should have gotten married at this age, and should be engaged if it is not good enough, but he wants to concentrate on the imperial examination first and has no intention of starting a family. Yun Shuyao has said it many times, recommend It's okay to marry late and get engaged early.

The eldest brother, Yun Heng, got married only the year before last, so he did at that time.

So Yun Yan said to consider the marriage later, Yun Qingliang did not object.

After all, he is a boy, and he is not too old at this age.

If he can really pass the exam, he can be said to be a young talent at his age, and it would be more attractive to propose a marriage.

But it will be this year at the latest. Regardless of whether he passes the exam or not, Yun Qingliang plans to make an engagement for his youngest son. He already has a family he likes, and they have a tacit understanding with each other. Qingliang was only the magistrate of the county, if the youngest son passed the Juren examination, there would be no high-ranking argument for proposing marriage.

Yun Qingliang also mentioned this matter to Yun Shuyao.

That one was from the original wife of the county magistrate's family, and she had made a marriage arrangement before, but later divorced because of the man's misbehavior, but no matter what the reason was, the morals of this world are always harsher on girls.

Mrs. Song met when she went to the temple to offer incense, and the two had a very happy chat. Later, when they learned that the girl had divorced, they became interested.

Yun Shuyao's eldest brother-in-law's daughter-in-law is the daughter of his master, and the other party is also from a family background, but the other party has no intention of official career, and after obtaining the honor in the examination, he becomes his master in Changming Academy.

Yun Qingliang never considered getting married with the merchant's family at all.

It is true that some officials and officials will marry their children to marry the daughters of merchants, and there are often reasons for this.

Not all officials and officials are well-off, and there are still many families who only have one good name.

And the merchant girl married in with a large dowry, so it can be said that everyone gets what they need.

Even so, in order not to be ridiculed, most of the in-laws who married merchants were also sons of concubines.

If it is a son, it is usually a son who has already had a future. This son is not very promising, so he will use it for marriage.

The Yun family is not very rich, but they are not bad, and because they lived in poverty, they don't feel that their current life is not good enough.

So when Yun Qingliang showed his son, he was always looking forward to his future.

Both his sons are talented in reading, and they will go on official careers in the future, so an in-law who can help each other is very important.

Not to mention, the younger sister that Aunt Mei proposed is still a concubine.

Even if Aunt Mei said that she was a younger sister under her mother's name, but Yun Shuyao was not a fool, she knew how many children her aunt gave birth to.

Even if it is recorded in the name of the aunt, the fake will not become true.

She herself is a concubine, doesn't she know how big the difference is between a concubine and a concubine?As far as she said that the dowry is rich, there is a big question mark.

The second son of the county magistrate and the concubine daughter of a businessman?

There is no reason, who would get married like this?

What would Jia Min think if their two siblings became a couple?

The two concubines with children under him have united, what is the plan?

No matter how good-tempered the mistress is, she must be vigilant in the face of such a combination of concubines and servants.

So after laughing enough, Yun Shuyao directly refused: "Sister Mei, this joke is not funny, we are all from Xingtai Prefecture, not to mention knowing the basics, it is almost the same, this marriage is not suitable, sister, don't bring it up again , My brother's marriage is not up to me, my parents are the ones to worry about, I, as long as I live my own life well, that's enough, Sister Mei, I think it's the same with you."

Being rejected so directly by her, Aunt Mei's face was very ugly, her face turned blue and white, her mouth was tightly pursed, as if she was suppressing her anger, and there was... a trace of regret.

In fact, the marriage that Aunt Mei should have brought up was not her concubine younger sister and Aunt Yun's younger brother, but she changed her mind temporarily.

The headquarter of the Mei family is in Xingtai Mansion, where her eldest brother is now, and her father, her aunt, and her younger brother are also in Guangzhou now. With the help of the master, the business has been done like this. Made a lot of money.

The reason why she came to Aunt Yun today was because she told her aunt about Jia Min's pregnancy, and her aunt gave her an idea.

She came here for a kiss, but the marriage she wanted to talk about was her sixth younger sister and Aunt Yun's cousin.

Her sixth sister has been a widow for more than a year.

Back then, she was married to the son of a Juren family, but it was a pity that the other party was unlucky, and died of illness not long after her marriage. Her younger sister didn't have any children under her knees, so she went back to her natal family and was looking for another suitable family.

As for Aunt Yun's cousin, he is now a scholar, and his original partner died because of illness. His father is optimistic about his future, and thinks that he has a high possibility of being able to pass the exam. If he gets married, he will find a relationship later. With some money, the sixth younger sister can also become an official wife.

In this way, they are relatives, and they can watch and help each other in the Lin family in the future.

Even if Aunt Mei didn't want to admit it, she knew that Aunt Yun was different from her.

Although there was no difference between the two of them entering the door one after the other at the beginning, after the other party gave birth to the only male in the Lin family, and after Aunt Yun's father became an official again, her position was very stable.

Much taller than her.

After Auntie's careful analysis, Aunt Mei also had to admit that the Yun family looked quiet, but he was successful and very good at pleasing people.

She never made any excessive demands, nor would she ask the master to support her natal family. Her usual demands were to fiddle with food and drink. To Jia Min, she was always well-behaved from the beginning to the end. No matter how much her son was valued by the old lady and the others, she was never insolent.

This is a very tolerant "ruthless man".

She "kept her duty", but Aunt Mei didn't believe that there really was such a dutiful person, so she could only say that she suppressed it and put on a false face to face everyone.

Others were deceived by her and treated her very loosely.

Indeed, they are all from Xingtai Mansion, not to mention knowing the basics. Aunt Mei knows the foundation of the Yun family very well. Before she came in, could the whole family of the Yun family scrape together 1000 taels of silver?

Saying 1000 taels is an overestimate, it should be 500 taels.

But now, look at Yun's clothes, look at the decorations in the house, these are not gifts from the master, how can she earn them herself?

Also, Jia Min didn't seem to be making things difficult for them. Could it be because of Yun's attitude of retreating and making progress, both the old lady and the master watched, leaving Jia Min no room to make things difficult?

Yun's seems to be neither fighting nor grabbing, but in fact Lizi has already got his hands.

So my aunt said she wanted to make friends with her.

When Jia Min was pregnant, she was on the same side as Yun, who was naturally on the opposite side, and she wanted to ease the relationship with Yun.

But now... Looking at Yun's, Aunt Mei felt a little regretful.

She should have listened to her aunt.

Her sixth younger sister was a direct descendant, and the dowry was absolutely generous. The family conditions of Yun's cousin were not very good, and they were also remarrying, so the possibility of agreeing was very high.

Now that Yun's rejected her like this, how could she have the face to continue talking about the second marriage?

Aunt Mei shook her sleeves and left.

Yun Shuyao sat there, the smile on her face restrained, thinking about the rich expression on Aunt Mei's face just now.

She was right, it was regret.

She regrets what she said.

In other words, she proposed marriage on impulse?

What did she want to say?

Aunt Mei came to her out of the blue and said that this matter is indeed very her personal style, but it is very good, how did she think of this aspect?

Someone must have pointed it out.

Is it Nanny Wu?

impossible.

She would not bring up the idea that this might cause an imbalance in the inner courtyard of the Lin Mansion.

Then there is only her natal family.

Yun Shuyao let out a hehe.

It's a good plan. I want her to stand on the same line with Aunt Mei, and deal with Jia Min's possible thoughts of suppressing concubines?Or was it watching Aunt Mei not letting her do something impulsively?

No matter what the purpose is, she is not full.

Even if you are full and full, you can just do some exercise to digest your food, so why make yourself such a big trouble.

-

Soon Gao received a guilty reply from her daughter. Looking at the letter, Gao rubbed the center of her brows with a headache.

She knew that her daughter wanted to have a tighter relationship with Aunt Yun, so she changed the marriage candidate, but in this case, if the relationship is too tight, it will only be a bad thing.

Uncle Yun's house is just right.

The two of them separated a long time ago, and her uncle is not even a scholar, and her cousin is only a scholar. He is almost thirty and has not been admitted to Juren. Maybe he will be a scholar all his life. Speaking of which, the daughter of the Mei family Marrying him, the other party is still high.

In the end, the daughter temporarily changed the story, referring to the concubine as Yun's younger brother, who was already a scholar and hopeful, which was different.

Mrs. Gao sighed, and now she can only tell her daughter to keep her mouth shut. This matter cannot be spread. Fortunately, her daughter knows that this matter should be avoided. When talking, there is no one else but the two of them. Presumably Aunt Yun That smart man wouldn't take the initiative to spread the word about it.

Thinking of Jia Min who is now pregnant, Gao frowned.

The daughter still needs to have her own son, but it's a pity that the two pills have been used up, and the daughter has not been pregnant for so many years. It is not so easy for her to get another pill. Thinking of this, Aunt Gao couldn't help but No sigh.

It would be best if she could conceive naturally, but now it seems that she should focus on the pills. It is difficult, but it is not impossible...

Mrs. Gao wrote a letter to her daughter. After receiving the letter, Aunt Mei touched her stomach, like an eggplant beaten by frost, and became listless.

She has never been pregnant, and the problem is not all on her. The master comes to her at least.

If it wasn't for Yingyu, there would be even less.

The master doesn't want to come, what can she do?

Do you force the master to come?

Safe?

Isn't she safe enough now?

She didn't do anything, she was safe enough.

Aunt Mei had a good meal, and Aunt Mei didn't go out in her yard. Nanny Wu was very relieved to see it.

She is no longer a witch.

Although I don't know how she figured it out, it's fine if you figure it out.

-

Because of her status as a wet nurse, Qian Momo has emotional foundations there. Although Jia Min did not give her the right to return to work by her side, Qian Momo occasionally came into the mansion to care about her current situation and talk to her. Min took a tacit attitude, since she was pregnant, Qian Momo came more frequently.

Qian Momo didn't mention it when she came back. Every time she entered the mansion, she would tell her about the pregnancy and childbirth, and the interesting things that happened when she was breastfeeding her.

Jia Min listened to these with gusto. She was about to become a mother. From a mother's point of view, her attitude towards Qian Nanny was a little more relaxed.

But with lessons learned from the past, Jia Min still insisted on his original idea.

Nanny Qian is getting old, it's time to enjoy the blessings of her children and grandchildren.

After Qian's trial, she was disappointed, but she never slacked off. She would not work in the mansion, but she still had children and grandchildren, so she had to think about her children and grandchildren.

Now that the wife is happy, in the future, the young master and the young miss will have to be served by trustworthy people?

Her family is overstaffed.

It's not like Jia Min didn't know.

But this situation is seen too much.

People who retire at an old age say that they are enjoying the blessings of their children and grandchildren, but there are not many people who do not think about their children and grandchildren.

As long as there are good ones, she will not use them.

It's just that the candidates she values ​​are limited.

Two young mothers with rich experience in raising children came to Rongguo Mansion. They were valued and welcomed by the fourth aunt's grandmother. After being relied on, they discovered many problems around the fourth aunt's grandmother.

First of all, it is my aunt, the nurse who was raised by Rong. She has already left the house, and she comes in from time to time to refute their claims and actions. What does it mean to sing against them?

The second one is that the aunt is pregnant, but the servant girl is serving her, and the concubine and concubine's children are not serving the mistress as a filial piety!And what good can those concubine seeds have, that they have such good treatment?

The third one, which made them nervous the most, was that the old lady actually took away her middle-class rights while her aunt was pregnant!

How can this work? !
