There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 186
[Chapter 186, no need to argue]
whether Aunt Lin is willing or not, the new Aunt Liu’s living in Shuangxin Courtyard is a certainty.
As for the two concubines, Mrs. Li didn’t want to see any more, so she ordered Aunt Lin to go back and clean up the room, and then assigned two maids to Mrs. Liu, and let them go down.
Seeing Aunt Lin reluctantly but helplessly leaving, Daohua smiled and sat down beside Mrs. Li: “Mother, what happened to Aunt Liu? Didn’t father go to the banquet? Why did you bring back a woman?”
Mrs. Li glanced at her daughter, thought for a while, and felt that she should talk to her about some things, so as not to get married in the future, and encounter the same thing and lose the charter.
“The Liu family was given to your father by Du Shenzhi. He used to be from the backyard of the Du mansion.”
Daohua was stunned for a moment, and then asked with wide-eyed eyes: “Aunt Liu used to be Du Shenyi’s concubine?”
Mrs. Li There was a moment of silence. It’s not easy to talk about the matter in the man’s room with my daughter in detail now, so I can only say vaguely: “…the room should not have been confiscated.
” You should panic! I think Senator Du really has a hole in his head.” Well, men are very sensitive to green, so this is presented in a grandiose manner.
Mrs. Li: “.” My daughter’s reaction, does she understand it or not?
Daohua asked again: “Okay, how did Senju Du think of giving his father a concubine?”
Mrs. Li sneered, “Do you know why your father has been the county magistrate for nine years?”
Daohua understood immediately: “Because of this Du Shen?”
Mrs. Li nodded: “When your father was first assigned to Zhongzhou Province, he unintentionally offended this Du Shen, and then he has been suppressed by him.” Saying, touching Touching Daohua’s head, she smiled.
“The old lady said that you are the lucky star of the family. If you hadn’t saved the little prince by chance, your father might not be able to turn over in his life.”
“This time, the matter of the wheat planting was reported to the imperial court by the governor. Now the emperor attaches great importance to Nongsang, and your father is going to leave his name with the emperor.”
“Whether your father will be reused or not in the future, anyway, it is not easy There is an affair, so, taking advantage of this banquet, Sensei Du dragged a few officials and gave your father the Liu family who was with him.”
“If your father doesn’t accept it, he just doesn’t want to reconcile, so many people see Now, what can your father do? I have to accept it.”
Daohua was speechless: “This Du Shenshi’s brain is really not very bright. He has many ways to reconcile. Why do you have to send a concubine? Send something else? Okay, like gold and silver calligraphy and painting or something? Isn’t this more practical than a concubine?”
Mrs. Li sighed, and slightly sarcastically said: “It’s so vulgar to give gold and silver calligraphy and painting. Bribes and bribes are different, but concubines are different.”
“Some men usually have one or two young and beautiful concubines with them when they are socializing. In their view, it is elegant to give concubines to each other. How can it be compared with yellow and white things.”
“Do you know what Aunt Liu is? It is a Yangzhou skinny horse bought at a high price. From your father’s tone, many officials want to ask Du Shen for it, but Du Shenshu didn’t even give it.”
“.” Daohua did
n’t know what to say, but felt panicked.
In this ancient time, the status of women was really too low, giving each other gifts was like goods.
The good mood that had surged up because of Aunt Lin’s unhappiness before disappeared in an instant.
“In that case, Aunt Liu is quite pitiful.”
Mrs. Li lowered her eyes and said calmly, “As long as she keeps her own life, the Yan family will give her a bowl of food.”
Daohua sighed.
Seeing her daughter’s face wrinkled like a little old lady, Mrs. Li was a little amused: “Okay, you just need to know these things, and you don’t need to worry about it here.”
After finishing speaking, I didn’t want to say any more. I took a look at the sky and waved to Ping Xiao: “Go to Shuangxin Courtyard to see how the house is being cleaned up? Tell Aunt Lin, it must be done before dark.”
“Yes.”
Seeing When Ping Xiao left, Daohua was distracted: “Aunt Liu is now living in Shuangxinyuan, so Master Lin can’t come in and out casually in the future, right?”
Shuangxinyuan.
Aunt Lin watched with an ugly expression as the maid came in and out to tidy up the west wing room, and what made her panic even more was Liu Shi who was standing in the courtyard in an orderly manner.
Especially seeing Liu’s beautiful face, and her younger and more enchanting body.
Since entering the Yan Mansion, although she has heard of many concubines trying their best to compete for a little favor, she has never experienced it.
There are only the wife and her in the master’s room. The wife is from a businessman, and she is more dignified. She is not as good as her in the master’s favor. She doesn’t need to compete for favor, and she has won the master’s preference.
In these years, except for her status as a concubine, her life is really no worse than that of some headed wives. When I was in the county, I could still socialize with some ladies.
For a long time, she didn’t feel that she was a concubine.
But at this moment, looking at Liu Shi who is about to move into Shuangxin Courtyard, her heart feels as if she has fallen into an ice cellar, and all the complacency, secret joy, and thinking that she is different in the past are all gone.
She is just a concubine!
A concubine who needs to live in the same yard with other concubines and also competes for favor.
Shuangxinyuan.
Looking at the plaque on the gate of the courtyard, Aunt Lin was a little dazed.
She still remembers that when she gave birth to twins, the master was as happy as a child.
In order to express the joy in her heart, the courtyard where she lived was named Shuangxinyuan.
She thought that this kind of favor was exclusive to her and the child, but looking at Mrs. Liu in the yard, she was surprised to find that this kind of favor could also be shared.
Shuangxin Courtyard, soon it will no longer be the previous Shuangxin Courtyard.
At the gate of the courtyard, Yan Wenbin and Yan Yishuang also looked sadly at the maids who were busy in and out of the courtyard.
“Fifth Brother, do you think Daddy doesn’t like Mother and us anymore?” Yan Yi’s eyes were full of panic.
Yan Wenbin pursed his lips: “It’s not that Daddy doesn’t like us, it’s just that he has to share some of his liking for us with others.” Yan Yishuang was taken aback
: “After the eldest sister came, Daddy’s liking for us It’s already a little less, so should I distribute it to others now?”
Yan Wenbin looked at Liu Shi in the yard, but didn’t speak.
Yan Yishuang pouted again: “Father only has so little time every day, and if there is an extra Liu family, there will be even fewer opportunities to accompany us in the future. However, if we have less, so will mother and eldest sister. , then everyone can fight together.”
“Mother is pregnant with a younger brother now, and my father will definitely favor us, and others can’t compete with us at all.”
Yan Wenbin smiled wryly: “Mother and eldest sister don’t need to fight at all. We have always been the only people.” The main wife,
the concubine, the concubine, and the concubine, maybe he knew the difference before, but after coming to Xingzhou City for more than a year, he understood it thoroughly.
Don’t look at anything else, let’s take Aunt Liu who was brought home by her father as an example.
The mother could sit in the main seat and drink tea calmly, but the aunt could only watch in fear as half of her yard was taken away by others.
