There is a difference between concubines and concubines. Mother Jia's attitude towards concubine children directly affects her children. Whether it is Jia pardoning Jia Zheng or Jia Min, it is dispensable to the other three concubine sisters, not to mention harsh treatment, but negligence. , as if they were all outsiders.

In terms of the means of the original owner, it can be said that it is one of the best among mistresses in this era. The Jia family has no concubine except for her two sons-in-law. chestnut.

Let’s not talk about how the pregnant child was dropped by Jia’s mother. It was a boy, and she didn’t prescribe any medicine. She just made all kinds of couplings to make the newborn have a high fever. The child’s resistance is weak. In this age China's medical treatment is underdeveloped, so naturally there is no way to survive.

As for Rong Guogong's aunts, those who stayed were obedient, and those who were disobedient were removed early. The remaining three aunts of the concubine were all honest and dare not offend the mistress. .

Even if there was, after so many years of seeing the mistress' methods, I would not dare to say it out, let alone now that Rong Guogong has passed away, it is the mistress' son who is in charge of the house.

Therefore, they all reminded their daughters not to anger the mother-in-law, otherwise they would ruin their own future for the rest of their lives.

It is impossible to say that Jia Mei and Jia You have no objections to the sisters Jia Minhui who set off from the aunt, but there is a strong aunt, and now their marriage is in the hands of the aunt, so what can they do if they are jealous?

The most urgent among them is Jia Mei, the oldest. The first sister has already made an appointment with Tanhua Lang, but her older sister, who is one year older, has been completely forgotten. Before his father died, he was planning for the second brother, but this daughter It's like picking it up, so what else can I expect?

At the beginning, they told their aunt that the aunt asked the big house to move. Although it was a big deal for the whole family, their marriage was still in the hands of the aunt. Even if Mrs. Zhang was kind, she couldn't be a mother Lord~

It's not good for Jia You to tell his aunt that it will affect her recuperation, so she can only tell her sympathetic elder sister, what can the two girls do?

When they moved the yard, they couldn't see it, but Jia Min's dowry always had something to say to them. Jia You cried in front of Jia Mei that day, with a bit of resentment on his mouth: "Why? Is there such a big gap in birth? We haven't even settled on our marriage yet, and her dowry has already been prepared so much."

Jia Mei hurriedly forbade her words, and took a handkerchief to wipe her tears, "Don't say such things again, how can a girl who hasn't left the court talk about marriage?"

"Don't tell me, isn't it like a big sister who hasn't been engaged at this age?"

Jia Mei looked sad, "Why stab me like this?"

Jia You also knew that she had said something wrong, but she had nowhere to vent the discomfort in her heart. She could only send it to the innocent and good-natured elder sister. Ignore it.

Jia You said with guilt on his face, "It's my sister who shouldn't have said such a thing, can my sister forgive me?"

After all, the two of them have always had some private things to say to each other, there is nothing else to do with the relationship, and Jia Mei was not angry with her for too long, but she couldn't help but secretly shed tears lying on the bed at night, and the next day she had to pretend nothing had happened , but the redness and swelling of the eyes can't deceive others.

When the aunt asked her to go to the west courtyard for dinner, fortunately her eyes were swollen, otherwise it would be really hard to explain, and if the aunt was upset, wouldn't their life be more difficult.

Zhang Rui didn't pay much attention to the living conditions of the concubines. Her yard was moved, followed by the main room and the second room. The housekeeping rights have been handed over to Zhang Shi one after another. Zhang Shi, an elegant and quiet woman, has been quite He looks a little high-spirited, and his actions are also in a hurry.

It's not like this one has a temperament that floats up when she is developed. Zhang Rui can still tolerate her, but that's all. She has novels to read, and she really doesn't want to prevaricate these people too much. Recently, she has spared them Greetings, let them toss about on their own, and come to the West Courtyard to greet them when they have something to do.

Here I concentrate on teaching Jia Min and bringing Jia Hu, and by the way, invite a well-mannered nanny for the three concubines. If I hadn't met that day, Zhang Rui would not have remembered so much. I really can't remember anyone who is not particularly important.

After inviting nanny Zhang Rui, it occurred to me that Jia Mei and Jia You's marriage should also be prepared. It's not easy to get engaged in the filial piety period, but this is the case for rich families. If you don't make a direct decision, you can exchange some tokens in private. There is a tacit understanding , generally there is no breach of contract.

Jia's mother has contacts among nobles, and Zhang's has connections among civil servants. According to Zhang Rui's idea, it is better to find those literati with poorer families, which is better than marrying the concubine son of Xun Zhuzi's family or having someone fill in the house. There are many, but this is just her idea, and she is not planning to consider everything for other people's daughters.

So I asked the servants to call the two aunts over. Although Aunt Jia You and Aunt Wei were not in good health, there was no reason why the mistress called. So they and Aunt Deng hurried to the west courtyard, never thinking that they were going to talk about their daughter. Their marriage was a surprise for a while.

"Jia You is not in a hurry, but Jia Mei delayed the marriage due to the serious illness of the Duke, and I am not the kind of aunt who treats concubine daughters harshly. Today, I will tell you that although it is impossible to make an appointment publicly, privately It doesn't matter, you are also mothers, go back and think about whether you want to marry to the family of the honorable nobleman to be the concubine's daughter-in-law, or marry to the family of a lower official, or a son of a wealthy family, a military general or a literati, think clearly tell me."

Aunt Deng is an honest person with a vocation, and her appearance is also one of those who look thick and straight, and her daughter Jia Mei is what she is most worried about. Now that she has such words from the madam, she immediately thanked Dade and said: "Mrs. Xie, this slave must be good. Think about it." The daughter's life's major events have no intention of refusing to let the mistress decide.

"Madam is the kindest mistress." Aunt Wei also said with tears.

Zhang Rui really can't stand the tears. Aunt Wei is a little literate, and she is even weaker when she is sick. It's just that Zhang Rui looks really bad and unhappy, but the man It's just good, otherwise Jia Daishan would not have accepted this one. Of course, she is indeed beautiful, and Jia You is very similar to her mother.

That is because of her beauty, the Wei family was able to be attracted by Jia Dai's kindness at a glance from the daughter of a down-and-out scholar, but it is easier for people who rely on their beauty to take shortcuts and be unruly.

So Zhang Rui said at the beginning, "How about being a human being? You must also have self-knowledge, concubine daughters should not look too high, otherwise when something goes wrong, the Jia family will not let it go lightly."

After speaking, he looked at the two with sharp eyes, "I am willing to give you a chance, don't be ignorant of good and bad."

The two of Wei and Deng quickly knelt on the ground, saying "don't dare" repeatedly, Zhang Rui thought they would never forget Jia's mother's threats, so he beckoned them to leave.

The two happily returned to their respective houses. Seeing her daughter, Mrs. Deng burst into tears and said, "My son, Madam just told you about your marriage, and she wants to find a husband for you! Tell Auntie quickly, What kind of person do you want to find? Madame allows us to think about it before telling her!"

Jia Mei has always been a self-reliant character. After hearing what her mother said, she couldn't help but took off her veil, grabbed her mother's hand and asked, "Really? Did mother really say it?"

"Yes." Mrs. Deng nodded with a smile, "Madam said he is the son of an honored son, a rich man, a military commander or a literati. Let her know when you think about it."

Jia Mei blushed after hearing this, but her eyes were full of joy.

Deng anxiously asked: "Son, tell me what kind of offspring you want, this is not the time to be shy! It's related to your whole life!"

Jia Mei bit her lip, shy but firmly said to her mother: "My daughter likes people who read books and understand the rules."

The daughter's family will always secretly imagine what the future lover will be like, whether it is a handsome general or an elegant scholar. After her father, Wei Dimei, ordered Tanhualang, she thought that her father always had a reason. Otherwise, the family started as a military general, and most of the familiar Xungui relatives are military generals, so why did you choose the noble family of the Qing Dynasty for your younger sister?

After thinking too much, she thought, she is not as talented as her younger sister's future husband, if only she could have a husband who is a literati...

Here Jia Mei and her daughter are full of beautiful visions for the future. When Wei returns to the house and sees her waiting daughter, she is first moved by her daughter's filial piety, and then happily tells her what Jia's mother said to her.

Jia You was also pleasantly surprised, but after hearing what my aunt said about the aunt's choice of field, she felt dissatisfied in her heart, and blurted out: "Why can we only choose the second-class family, the high-class concubine or the low-class family? "

Wei Shi was so frightened that he slapped his daughter. Even though there were only two mothers and daughters in the room, he couldn't help but look around. What do you do if you get married carelessly or are dragged to an old age?! You are not brainy! How do I usually teach you?"

Jia You just forgot to be cautious in front of people close to her, and flinched a bit after hearing what her mother said, before apologizing in a low voice: "Mother, don't be angry, my daughter just doesn't want to be happy for a while."

Wei touched her daughter's face, and said distressedly: "I know my daughter is no worse than her, Jia Min, but this identity cannot be changed. If my mother hadn't followed your father back then, she would have done it for someone who could get it. Zheng wife, where can my Youer find such a family?"

"But my daughter's future children can only find people of the same class or a lower level. My daughter is really unwilling!"

Jia You also secretly met that man when Jia Min's fiancé came to visit. Such a handsome and talented Tan Hua Lang is rare in a hundred years, let alone a good family background, just because the concubine and concubines are different...
