Farmer's happy event

Chapter 223 Concubine
Dou Zi went back after dinner, sat on the edge of the table, talked with Qiu Tong while doing embroidery work, and waited until Xu time passed, Dong Xiuning did not come back.

She expected that he would not come back tonight, so she went to wash alone, closed the door and fell asleep.

The next day, just after dawn, Douzi was about to get up when he heard the door of the room being pushed open.

She hurriedly put on her clothes and sat up, and then she saw Dong Xiuning entering the room covered in the morning chill.

Douzi was surprised, why did he come back so early today?Seeing Douzi, he immediately put a smile on his face, came to the bed and sat down.

"Are you going to wake up?" Dong Xiuning asked with a smile.

Seeing his actions, Douzi panicked.In the past, he only came back around noon, and even if he came back, the expression on his face was still looking for trouble.Today, why did it suddenly change like this?
Douzi gave a "hmm" and was about to get the clothes hanging on the hanger.

After she woke up, she was still not used to being served, so she asked Qiutong to prepare her clothes for the next day the night before, and after she was dressed, she called someone to come in and serve her.

Seeing this, Dong Xiuning hurriedly got up to help her get the clothes, and handed them to her neatly.

He kept watching her put on her clothes, with a smile on her face.

Seeing him like this, Douzi couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"Is something wrong?" she asked.He was like this, except for the moment when he just got married, he never looked like this again.

Dong Xiuning shook his head and smiled and said, "It's nothing." After saying this, he said again, "I suddenly feel that you have worked too hard. Don't worry, I will definitely treat you well in the future."

When Douzi heard this, he glanced at him, and a smile appeared on his lips.No matter whether he said this sincerely or falsely, Dou Zi felt warm in his heart when he heard it.If this is the case, then all the grievances she has suffered this year are worth it.

"You go to sleep for a while, I'm going to say good morning to my parents." Douzi said, she thought that Dong Xiuning must be very sleepy after he just came back.

Dong Xiuning nodded, and pretended to bow to Douzi: "Thank you for your consideration, lady."

Douzi laughed amused by him, feeling warm in his heart.

She put on her clothes, put on her shoes and got off the bed, and was about to call for someone to come in to take care of her when she suddenly heard Dong Xiuning say: "Daughter-in-law, I have something to tell you."

When Douzi heard this, a layer of panic suddenly surged in his heart.She just said, all of a sudden, he seemed like a different person.

"What's the matter?" Douzi turned around and asked, and before he knew it, his heart beat faster.

Dong Xiuning got off the bed, walked to her side, took her arm, and said: "It's nothing, just, I want to bring an aunt in, please go and tell your mother."

After he said this, he immediately said: "But don't worry, I will treat you well in the future, and I will definitely not let you be wronged again."

When Douzi heard this, he was stunned and speechless for a moment.

I have to bring my aunt in, and I said that I will treat her well in the future. Isn't this kind of contradictory?Can she believe it?
He also said that she would never be wronged again and let newcomers in. Isn't this the biggest grievance?
It was indeed difficult for her to live this year, but did he think that he could impress her with this as a condition?She would rather not have that kind of result.

"Good daughter-in-law, just go and tell your mother." Dong Xiuning took Dou Zi's arm, and suddenly shook her like a child coquettishly.

Douzi was just numb, she just felt a ray of warmth, saw a ray of hope, and suddenly, as if she had fallen into a cold winter icehouse, she couldn't help shivering from the cold.

"I got it." After being dazed for a long time, Dou Zi said dumbly, with a thick sob in his voice.

Even if her heart aches no matter how hard she suffers, what can she do?It is perfectly normal for a rich man to have three wives and four concubines. When she agreed to marry him, she had already thought that this kind of thing might happen.But at the beginning, he made a vow, and he had a sincere affection for her, so she began to have fantasies in her heart.

Perhaps, he is not that kind of person.

It's just that good luck tricks people, the original oath, the original thoughtfulness, are still in my ears, as if in the blink of an eye, that wonderful dream was shattered into nothingness.

Even if she has a thousand or ten thousand refusals in her heart, so what?Not to mention that she is not favored in front of her mother-in-law, even if she is favored, her mother-in-law will be impatient to fill his room with new people since she has never had a child.

Even if she doesn't agree, the newcomer will still come in. At that time, she will gain a reputation of being jealous for nothing. I'm afraid she won't be able to stay in this family anymore.

If you go back to your natal family, what should you do in the days to come?

She also has two younger sisters who are not married, so they must not be dragged down.

Hearing this, Dong Xiuning hugged her into his arms and kissed her on the cheek again: "What a good wife, I'll go to 'Cuiyufang' later and get you a whole set of red gold haircuts."

After saying this, he shouted outside: "Qiu Tong, come in and dress grandma."

He got what he wanted, and even his voice was full of joy.However, he couldn't feel her heartache, her pain at all.

"What kind of girl is it?" Douzi tried to calm himself down and asked.

Dong Xiuning said with a smile: "You can rest assured, she is a good girl, knowledgeable and polite, she will definitely serve you well in the future."

Serve her well, she doesn't ask for extravagance, she just wants to be smooth, safe and secure.

Qiu Tong came in and saw that Douzi's face was not looking well, so she just stood aside, waiting for her orders.

Douzi looked at the sky outside, and it was already bright.But her heart seemed to be living a boundless night.

She broke away from Dong Xiuning and went to the bathroom alone, Qiu Tong hurriedly followed after seeing this.

After finishing her makeup, Dou Zi went to Yu Shi's side.

Shopkeeper Dong is resting in his aunt's room tonight, so she only needs to serve Mrs Yu.

When Douzi entered Yu's yard, he saw that the maids and women who were rough envoys had already started sweeping. In the house, Yu was sitting in front of the dressing table, letting the girls comb his hair.

"Mom." Douzi called out.

Yu naturally heard it, but he didn't respond. After a while, he said, "Why are you here so late today?"

In the past, when she came, Yu Shi hadn't got up yet, but today, it's a lot late.

"Daughter-in-law is guilty of waking up late." Douzi said, every time at this time, she would blame herself for the mistake.

If it was because of Dong Xiuning, not only would he be reprimanded here, but he would also be reprimanded by Dong Xiuning after he returned.

Dong Xiuning often does not come home at night, but Douzi dare not tell his in-laws at all.And she knew that even if she said it, it would be useless.

There are so many servants in the family, and it is Yu's housekeeper, how can she not know whether her son has returned or not?I told him many times, but Naihe just didn't listen. Gradually, Mrs. Yu didn't bother to care about him anymore.It's just that in this way, she blamed Douzi for all her faults, thinking that she couldn't even grasp her husband's heart firmly, and kept him away from home every day.

Yu Shi did not blame her this time, she took the hot towel from the girl's hand, wiped her face, and asked, "Is Second Young Master back yet?"

Although she didn't want to see Douzi, she knew what she was like.She is cautious in doing things, and she hasn't gotten up late for such a long time.Therefore, something else must have happened.

Douzi replied, "I'm back."

Yu Shi's calm tone made Douzi feel relieved.

However, just after relaxing for a while, Yu Shi sternly said: "He didn't come to say hello when he came back, does he still have my mother in his eyes?"

Douzi just lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Yu Shi said again: "You also have to be careful, how can you let him go out with one heart? He doesn't care about his studies, and he doesn't care about it. What exactly does he want to do?"

After being silent for a while, Douzi saw that Mrs. Yu had already put on her makeup, and next, it was time to go to the dining room to have breakfast.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law has something to do, and I want to ask mother to decide." Douzi said tremblingly.

Yu Shi glanced at her and said, "What's the matter?"

She had never made any big requests, and it was a novelty to say such things today.

Douzi said: "My husband wants to take a concubine, so I ask my mother to make the decision."

When Yu heard this, she looked at her in disbelief, but Douzi only lowered her head, so she couldn't see her expression.

"You are a lady, you can decide this matter, why do you come to ask me?" Yu said with a smile on his face.

In her heart, she has always disliked Dou Zi, a girl from a poor family has become the wife of her precious son, no matter how she thinks, Yu Shi can't untie this knot in her heart.

"Daughter-in-law dare not, let mother decide." Douzi said again.

Although accepting a concubine requires the consent of the first wife, but the Douziren speaks lightly, she understands her status, so naturally she dare not make the decision.And I'm afraid that even if she makes the decision, no one will consider her opinion.

"Well, the second young master is not young now, it's time to add someone to the house, and the branches will spread." Yu Shi said while wiping his hands with a dry towel.

She had long thought of taking a concubine for Dong Xiuning, but she knew that Douzi was favored by shopkeeper Dong, and if she decided rashly, she might be in trouble.The decision in her heart was that if after two years, Douzi still couldn't give birth to a son, then it would be a matter for no one to say anything about taking a concubine for the son and carrying on the family line.

Now that she brought it up by herself, Yu Shi just wanted to laugh three times, which was too much for her.

"Okay, I have a concubine's room to help you serve the second young master, so that I can share the burden." Yu said again.

If Yu Shi disagrees with this matter, even if she is scolded, she will be grateful to her.However, looking at her like this, she was extremely happy.Even though she spoke beautifully, and Douzi had already expected such a result, but in her heart, she still felt so painful that she couldn't breathe.

"What kind of girl is she?" Yu asked again.
