Chapter 241
Mentioning the concubine who was about to enter today, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but sigh, "It's okay to be a concubine originally. I came from the house of the Minister of Rites. If I weren't a concubine, I wouldn't be a concubine. Seeing that she looks outstanding, I will Knowing that there might be a story behind it, I asked someone to inquire about it, what do you think, sister?"

"How?" Mrs. Zheng guessed that her character was lacking.Rich families cherish their reputation. Even if their children make mistakes, as long as the situation is not irreversible, they will find ways to suppress it and make amends. Blood and family ties are one aspect, but also because the children in the family are there, and one of them has a problem. , all the children in the family will be affected, especially the girls in their prime, no one can afford to lose.

"Isn't the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites' Mansion married to the fourth son of the Anbei Hou Mansion? This one is a concubine, and she has reached the age of marriage. It seems that the family is either dissatisfied that her family background is not good enough, or they think she has no ability. In the end, she fell in love with her brother-in-law." Mrs. Zhou curled her lips in disgust when she said this. She was not unreasonable. She was not embarrassed when she married into the Zhu family because she was from a merchant family, but she could not feel any affection for the third girl of the Zhao family. She said, "Her brother-in-law was not hypocritical to her, so she tried to seduce her. Unexpectedly, the fourth son of the Xu family was not caught in her scheme, and she exposed her plan and drove her back to the Zhao family."

"The Zhao family was so angry with her that they originally wanted to send her away, but she actually approached Xiyuan and somehow persuaded your nephew to accept her in. Originally, she had to give her up. My wife, your eldest brother and I scolded you back, but you also know Xiyuan's temper, so your eldest brother and I had no choice but to agree." When Zhou mentioned this, she shook her head, "Before the person even entered the door, Xi Yuan was taken away. Yuan Yongluo has passed by, but I don’t know what will happen after I get through the door. How can I feel relieved?"

What Zhou is most worried about is her grandson who is just over four years old. Her daughter-in-law has a soft temper. She is an adult after all and can always take care of herself. However, her grandson is so young and they live under the same roof. If the other party has bad intentions and uses some means, How could such a young child escape?

"This, Xiyuan is too confused!" As the mistress of the family, Mrs. Zheng is more open-minded about the matter of taking concubines. The same is true for juniors. She has no intention of inserting people into her son's yard. But if her son wants to take a concubine, she won't care too much about it, but even if he takes a concubine, he is no more cautious than marrying a wife, and he must be clean and well behaved, otherwise he will not know what trouble will happen in the future!

"That's right!" Mrs. Zhou sighed, "I can't worry. I want to take Brother Lin here to raise me, but I'm afraid of hurting Ms. Zhu's heart, so I have to take a look first before talking about it."

Zheng Xiyuan was already sorry for taking the concubine to Mrs. Zhu, but now she was afraid that the child would be treated like an eyeball. If the child was taken away from her, even with good intentions, it would break her heart.Seeing that Ms. Zhou had no intention of taking the child away by force, Ms. Zheng said: "As the saying goes, a mother must be strong. Even if it's for Brother Lin, sister-in-law, don't worry about it."

Mrs. Zhou sighed and said, "I'm asking my eldest sister to worry with me. I invited my eldest sister to come and get together today, and my mother is also thinking about her!"

Zheng didn't know how to talk. Seeing that Zhou was busy, she said, "Sister-in-law, just go and do your own business. Hanniang and I will go see mother first."

Mrs. Zhou was not willing to give face to her son's concubine, but she had to give some face to the Zhao family, let alone let outsiders see the joke. This had to be measured. Mrs. Zhou was afraid that her eldest daughter-in-law would not be sure, so she took advantage of the situation. He said, "Well, I'll go take a look first and talk to my eldest sister later."

The Zheng family is familiar with the Zheng family. Even if it has changed over the years, the overall layout is not much different.

Mrs. Zheng took Lu Hanzhi to the yard of the old lady of the Zheng family. It was more lively than the banquet place. Upon closer inspection, it looked more like inviting relatives to get together than a banquet for a concubine.After greeting Mrs. Zheng, Zheng Sixian took Lu Hanzhi to sit together and talk.Zheng Sixian just got married in the autumn. Her husband's family and the Zheng family have been friends for generations. After she got married, her parents-in-law loved her and her husband became gentle and handsome. The uneasiness she felt before getting married has long since dissipated.Zheng Sixian has only been married for a short time and has no children yet. She still retains the liveliness of her boudoir days. Talking about Zheng Xiyuan's concubine today, she asked: "Cousin, do you want to see the new couple?"

To be honest, Lu Hanzhi was really curious about this person who fascinated the shrewd Zheng Xiyuan and caused many things, but, "This is not good, she has not officially passed the marriage yet!"

"It's even worse when you cross the border!" Zheng Sixian heard about this incident and was very curious about this person. "Of course I am on the side of the third sister-in-law, so I will not have contact with her."

The Zheng family had checked the details of the concubine they were about to marry. Although they would not tell Zheng Sixian in detail, they reminded her that the other party was not a kind person and told Zheng Sixian to stay away.Zheng Sixian had a good relationship with Mr. Zhu. Even if her elders didn't tell her, she still couldn't understand this person. But when her elders told her, she became more and more curious.

"You just want to be an accomplice. If the elders find out, they won't scold you!" Lu Hanzhi shook his head, "If you ask me, instead of going to see her, it's better to go see the plum blossoms. I've heard that Zheng I have some rare white plum trees at home, but I haven’t seen them bloom yet!”

When the plum blossoms bloomed last year, Lu Hanzhi was not able to see them due to various reasons. Although it was to divert Zheng Sixian's attention, it was indeed a fact.Zheng Sixian thought for a while after hearing this, and then the person passed the door. Although she
I won’t have much contact with the other party, but I can’t help but see him, so I’m not in a hurry now. He nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll take my cousin to see the plum blossoms!”

"Those plum trees are actually not rare, they are just ordinary plum trees. Others say they are rare. It is just that my great-grandfather loved plum trees when he was alive. He wrote many poems about plum trees and also praised people. He said that he was writing about the few white plum trees at home." Zheng Sitian was worried that Lu Hanzhi would be disappointed when he saw the plum trees, so she specifically mentioned the reason, "Didn't my great-grandfather become famous all over the capital later? Those plum trees also became famous. People who don’t know the truth come to the house and have a look at the plum tree.”

"..." This truth can be said to be unexpected and reasonable. Zheng Sixian's great-grandfather, Lu Hanzhi, is remembered as a highly respected scholar. It is not surprising that the plum tree he once wrote is sought after by others. .

The plum tree is in the garden, because most of the people who came today were relatives, but no one came specifically to see it. It was cold and there was no one in the garden.Zheng Sixian pointed to the plum tree in the garden from a distance. The plum blossoms were in full bloom and were all white: "Sister-in-law, look, there were three or five of them there. Later, a few more were planted... Hey, then Who is it? What are you doing there in such a cold weather?"
