On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 314 Concubinage 1
Xiao Xiao was a little surprised when she saw Mrs. Yao.

She originally thought that Mrs. Yao was a shrewd and aloof old lady.

Who would have thought that when Xiao Xiao saw someone, he thought he had traveled to the Red Mansion and met the younger version of his ancestors in the Jia family?
She is really a kind-hearted, rich and gorgeous old lady.

Moreover, she was surrounded by fat and beautiful girls from Yan Huan.

Xiao Xiao and Zhou came forward to greet him.

There are advantages to marrying into the General's Mansion. Even if there are more than ten people from the Yao family, she only needs to meet Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Yao.

This gift was not given in vain, both of them gave it as a meeting gift.

She finally knew why she had to wear more bracelets on her hands and more hairpins on her head when going out to be a guest.

Like now, Mrs. Yao gives bracelets and Mrs. Yao gives hairpins, which is really convenient.

As far as the meeting gifts they gave her, Xiao Xiao felt that she didn't mind being looked at by them intentionally or unintentionally.

In addition, the ceremony with Miss Yao and Mrs. Yao is the same as that of the same generation. There is no need to salute the girls they bring, but they accept the courtesy from them.

The group of people came to the flower hall and sat down after greeting each other. The maids in Bijia also brought tea, cakes and fruits.

As soon as Xiao Xiao took a look at the pastries and fruits, she knew in her heart that Mrs. Li had spent a lot of money. There were not only pomegranates, oranges, dates, apples and pears in season, but also rare bananas, watermelons, persimmons and grapes.

She and the Yao family had nothing to say, so they just sat there eating fruits, admiring the beauties, and listening to the elders saying kind words to each other.

Then praise the other person's man and his son for their potential, which will make the other person smile.

After the polite greetings, the eldest mistress of the Yao family came over and pulled Xiao Xiao. She smiled and praised: "The eldest mistress is so handsome. No wonder she can make the eldest son fall in love with you at first sight and marry you regardless of the cost."

This is not a nice thing to say.

Since ancient times, marriage between a man and a woman has been dictated by parents and matchmakers.

What the eldest young lady of the Yao family means is that Li Yan insists on marrying her regardless of his parents' orders.

It also means that she is a beauty and a disaster.

The elders who were chatting and the girls who were admiring the flowers and talking all looked at Xiao Xiao, wondering if she could hear the meaning of the Yao family's eldest mistress?
I even want to know how she would answer.

Xiao Xiao held her face in her hands and smiled brightly: "Am I really so beautiful? Can I make my husband fall in love at first sight?"

No one needed to answer. She took Madam Yao's hands and said sincerely, "Madam Yao, you are such a good person."

Before speaking, Mrs. Yao had thought that as a peasant girl, Mrs. Xiao might not be able to understand the meaning of her words.

It is also possible that if you understand it, you will be embarrassed and annoyed.

But he didn't expect Xiao Xiao to be so narcissistic, so he could only nod reluctantly.

Xiao Xiao smiled shyly again: "But you may have heard the rumor that my husband wanted to marry me. He was seriously injured and was chased by the rebels. Thanks to me for saving him."

"He also hid him in my boudoir and escaped pursuit. He was particularly grateful for my life-saving grace, so he agreed to marry me."

She especially didn't like it. In those scripts, it was the girls who said that they would give themselves to each other in order to repay the favor of saving their lives.

Couldn't it be that the girl saved the young master, and the young master cried and shouted that he would give her life to her?

Not only the eldest wife of the Yao family, but also the Yao family were stunned for a moment: she seemed to be serious about what she said, and it didn't look like a lie. I never expected that Li Ji would marry her because of her life-saving grace.

At this time, a girl wearing a lotus-colored dress embroidered with branches came forward and said in a soft voice: "Master Li is a true gentleman, and I am so lucky."

Xiao Xiao nodded in agreement: "I also think he is pretty good."

After hearing her words, there was another silence.

They are used to speaking more tactfully, but now they are a little uncomfortable meeting someone who speaks so directly.

Meeting such a person, the eldest young lady of the Yao family could only change her mind and simply said with a smile: "You have just entered the general's mansion. I'm afraid there is no one around to talk to you. How about I give you a girl to keep you company?" Bar?"

Xiao Xiao didn't seem to hear it. She wanted to put someone in her house. She seemed like a person who had never seen the world. She got a maid for free and could save the money to buy a maid. She was a little happy and pretended to be reserved and declined: "No reward for no merit, how can you be so embarrassed?"

After saying that, he shouted from behind: "Linglong."

Linglong, who was wearing a light pink floral patterned dress and a little makeup, which made her eyebrows even more beautiful, stepped forward and said, "Young lady."

Xiao Xiao showed off to them as if she had received a precious treasure: "My mother loves me so much that she was afraid that the people around me would be useless, so she specially gave one to me."

"She is as beautiful as a flower and is pleasing to the eye. It is rare that she is also proficient in female celebrities. It really helped me a lot."

After praising Linglong, Xiao Xiao looked at the eldest young lady of the Yao family expectantly: "But she is alone and only has one pair of hands. She really doesn't have time to sew clothes, shoes and socks for me. If you want to give it to someone, you have to give it to someone who is ingenious." , Female celebrities must not be bad and must be obedient.”

"By the way, remember to give it to me along with the deed of betrayal, otherwise I'm afraid the little maid won't obey my orders."

When Mrs. Li heard this, she couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. She felt that she was being connoted.

But the Yao family couldn't laugh anymore.

It's not like they have too much time to spare, they will actually send her maids.

For a moment, I couldn't figure out whether Xiao really didn't understand, or whether he just said it on purpose because he understood too much.

The eldest young lady of the Yao family looked to her mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law for help.

She didn't dare agree to Xiao's request.

Mrs. Yao also smiled and spoke: "The eldest young master also saved Quanzi's life. I have been thinking about this in my heart. The eldest young mistress is from a farm family and doesn't know anyone from Fucheng. I have a distant niece who is very smart. , let her be the eldest son’s concubine?”

"In this way, I can also let her repay Mr. Li for saving Quanzi's life, and I can also help the eldest mistress to get familiar with the people and things in Fucheng as soon as possible."

Since Ms. Xiao promised her life-saving grace, she could use this excuse to make it impossible for her to refuse.

Aunt Mo, who had been standing behind Mrs. Li, was heartbroken when she heard this.

Xiao Xiao immediately said: "That won't work. My husband said he doesn't take concubines."

She couldn't refuse, otherwise she would be said to be unvirtuous.

But it does not prevent the husband, the tool man, from appearing.

Mrs. Yao narrowed her eyes and spoke: "It is common for a good man to have three wives and four concubines. Xiao, you can't just talk nonsense in the name of Mr. Li."

Xiao Xiao was not happy when he heard this, and said aggrievedly: "Old madam, my husband did say that he does not take concubines. If you don't believe it, you can ask him in person."

Mrs. Li also lowered her eyes and said calmly: "Why, our eldest son, have we promised you to be a couple for the rest of your life?"
