Chapter 152 Marriage
"Yes, what mother said is right, Jiao'er is not worried about these things. It's just that my husband asked my concubine about the childbirth arrangements yesterday, and everything was detailed. It seemed to be extremely worried, so... But after listening to what mother said, Jiao'er Don't worry." Chen Jiao'er patted her chest, pretending to be relaxed.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other with a smile, and chatted about the family's squabbles and the marriage of the maids, and then they left and went back.

The concubine bit her lip, "You brat, what are you doing with the emperor and you still want to hide it from me." Mother Zhang was at a loss when she heard that, but seeing that the concubine didn't intend to continue, she didn't dare to ask.

After a while, the princess said to Zhang's mother, "Although the concubine Shizi is pregnant at the moment, the things that should be shared must be done. Next month, it is not necessary to marry the maids who have reached the age, so I will leave it to the concubine Shizi." Let's do it."

Zhang's mother readily agreed. These things were decided by Zhang's mother before, and then reported to the princess to make a decision.At this moment, the concubine Shizi was suddenly allowed to take over. Although Zhang's mother was a little confused, she knew that the concubine always had her own reasons for doing things.Don't dare to disagree, and deliver the roster by hand as quickly as possible.

Chen Jiao'er received Mama Zhang's brochure and said apologetically, "It's also the first time for me to take over. If there is anything I don't understand, I must ask Mama Zhang for advice."

"I don't dare to ask for advice. If there is anything wrong with the crown prince, just let Mama Su ask." Mama Zhang was also happy.

"If there is a long-standing concubine in the middle of this. Or if the parents have approached Zhang's mother to settle down, hand over the list tomorrow, so that I won't make a mistake and beat the mandarin duck." People respect me one foot, I respect others Yizhang.Naturally, Chen Jiao'er would not compete with Zhang's mother for these people's filial piety money, and as expected, Zhang's mother's face became more respectful and her smile became even wider.He repeatedly praised the concubine Shizi as a bodhisattva-hearted, good master who accumulates virtue and does good deeds.

"If you put her in the middle of your feelings, you are doing good deeds, otherwise you are not a good master." Mother Su waited for her to leave, took the roster and said with a smile.

"I'm going to trouble Mother Su with this matter." Chen Jiao'er felt her head was a little heavy, she didn't know if it was like this for others, she had been lethargic since she was pregnant.

The next day, all the women and maids in the mansion knew about it.Not daring to disturb the crown prince's rest, they naturally found Mama Su, and Mama Su's threshold was almost leveled for a while.

Mama Su hasn't received Mama Zhang's order yet, so she naturally dealt with it with nice words, keeping in mind that she only said to report back to Shi Zifei, but refused to give a letter of approval.

A few days later, Mother Su found out the situation of the older maids in the mansion one by one.Then, according to the list handed over by Zhang's mother, she sorted out the situation and sent it to Shi Zifei.

"The maids in the mansion should get married when they reach the eighteenth. It is normal for those who have the grace of the master to delay one or two years earlier or one or two years later. There are 11 people on the list, and six of them have sought Mama Zhang, including Jasmine in Aunt Zeng's yard."

"Mother Zhang also has to ask both parties if they are satisfied. The rest of you who come to you will also ask about it before they get married. Those who are in Aunt Zeng's house, I will return to work as a princess."

The princess heard that Chen Jiao'er wanted to assign some servant girls to the Zhuangzi, patted her hand and said, "These are trivial matters, just do it according to your own ideas."

Zhang's mother's eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but feel a little hot when she thought of the money she had accepted.That day, Mother Su accepted her order and seemed to have read it for a long time. Could it be that there is something wrong with it.

Thinking of this, she couldn't sit still, she couldn't do anything without asking about the money, and it was a trivial matter for her to return the money, while others thought it was a big deal for her to lose power in front of the princess.

Unexpectedly, Mother Zhang just thought about it, but Shi Zifei sent someone to pick her up to talk.Pointing to a few people on the list, she only said that she had seen a few of them with her own eyes, they looked quite blessed, and their age happened to be about the same age as Zhuangtou's two grandsons, so they were a good match.

Carefully see what Shi Zifei is referring to, Zhang's mother "thumps" in her heart, it seems that Shi Zifei intends to use Zeng Concubine to make her powerful.She knew it in her mind and nodded in agreement.Going back, I sent a little girl to return the reward money that Aunt Zeng sent over.

Jasmine, the maid in Aunt Zeng's house, had served her for seven or eight years as a child, and planned to point her to a son in charge of the house.In the past, when Zhang's mother collected the money, it was a matter of iron and steel, but she didn't expect such a change suddenly.

It's not that Aunt Zeng has never been to Mama Su's side, she's either laughing at Mimi's perfunctory or delaying in the name of Shizi Concubine, or she just refuses to give an accurate statement.

Aunt Zeng comforted Jasmine, even if she went to the princess to ask for favors, she would get her wish.The big deal is to use the excuse of needing someone to serve her, and if she stays for another year, she won't be allowed to marry Zhuangzi.

The favor of the princess is not so easy to please. Everyone knows that the concubine is the treasure of the concubine, and now that she is pregnant, it is absolutely impossible for the concubine to make things difficult for the concubine because of a maid.

Jasmine knew it in her heart, but she took the initiative to comfort Aunt Zeng, saying that she didn't want to rush to get married, and it would be better to wait.It is tantamount to defaulting to the most helpless choice.

Soon Mama Su arranged a maidservant of similar age for her steward's son. Both parents were domestic servants of the palace, so Jasmine was completely cut off.When Mama Su heard that Aunt Zeng wanted to keep her for another year, she nodded lightly, and crossed her name out of the list of married maids.

Jasmine's mother found Su's mother in the middle of the night, but Su's mother was not hypocritical, and told her coldly, "If you stay for a year, there are fewer and fewer suitable people, but there are more suitable people in the village." Ken uncovered it.

Many people in the mansion feel sorry for Jasmine, this marriage has been missed, and it will be even more difficult next year.She also secretly guessed how Aunt Zeng offended Shi Zifei and wanted to vent her anger on others.

"Jasmine, don't worry too much. If Miss Six's matter is settled, Auntie said that Miss Six will give us a favor. As long as the Shizi opens his mouth, no matter how brave the Shizi Concubine is, she will not dare to refute it." Aunt Zeng's side Mom comforted Jasmine.

Jasmine nodded her head clearly, but her heart was extremely depressed.She was just a servant girl, and the matter between her master and master prevented her from getting a good marriage.Next year, next year, if the eldest son opens his mouth, will she really be able to marry as she wishes?What's more, sooner or later the prince's mansion will be headed by the crown prince, so it's really easy to clean her up.

Seeing that she was really in a bad mood, Aunt Zeng gave her a day off, and Jasmine simply went back to visit her parents.The same is working in the mansion, but my father has not yet left for work, and my mother is at home during the day to catch up on sleep because she is on duty at night.

Seeing her daughter, the mother also sighed, she only blamed her for her bad life, and she voted for a master who was not the master.

Jasmine knew better than anyone what Aunt Zeng wanted to do and why she annoyed the Crown Princess.The identity of the son of the eldest son and the friendship with the emperor ensured that his position was unbreakable.

The aunts are not stupid, and no one dares to imagine that their sons can replace them.It's just that if the house is monolithic, when the family is finally separated, they don't know what will happen.

Being able to support one or two aunts who are favored by the son of the world will always bring one or two more benefits in the future, at least there will be more ways.

Unexpectedly, the concubine Shizi would either not make a move, and would directly target it when she made a move.This was just the beginning, she was not that naive, thinking that the Concubine Shizi would just take her anger out and it would be over.

Thinking of this, I couldn't sit still any longer, so I hastily entrusted someone to sleep at home at night and go back to work early tomorrow morning.Taking advantage of the night, he rushed to the imperial concubine's courtyard. As soon as she showed her face, the woman who was watching the night took her directly to Mother Su.As if he had been waiting for her long ago, Jasmine's heart beat faster.

The son and the prince came back very late for several days in a row, and sometimes they had to discuss something in the study when they came back.The concubine prepared a bed in the prince's study and asked the son to rest there.It also saves running back and forth in several places at night, delaying my rest, and making Shi Zifei sleep unsteadily.

The prince's study is outside the second gate, connected to the inner courtyard by a small gate.At the beginning, it was opened alone for the convenience of the prince. No one was guarding it. The key was on the person who served the prince and the son. If other people wanted to go to the outer courtyard, they had to go through the second gate in a serious manner.

Zhusheng was a little restless all day long, as if something was going to happen.But after thinking about it carefully, I didn't miss any orders from my master, and I didn't do anything wrong, so I just thought that I was too busy these days and left this tiny emotion behind.

"Zhusheng, Master Shizi didn't come back, why did you come back?" Lianye asked with a smile when she saw Zhusheng, holding a tray in her hand.

"I'm back, I'm in the prince's study. I'll take advantage of this time to change clothes." I slept in the study with the prince for several nights, and if I didn't wash and change, it would stink.

"Oh, Miss Six also told me to send it to the Shi Ziye. It looks like the Shi Ziye won't come back today." Seeing Zhu Sheng laughing without saying a word, Lian Ye handed over the tray in her hand "It's cheap for you, I made it with my own hands, try it."

"Yo, thank you, Sister Lianye." Zhu Sheng took it over. Since childhood, these sisters and sisters have not forgotten his share of things made for Shizi.This has become a habit, and the sound of bamboo is not pretentious, if you don't pick it up, Lianye will definitely be unhappy.

After eating the cakes brought by Lianye, Zhusheng took his clothes and went to clean the room. He is an old man and a servant. Bathing is very simple, just get a basin of water to wash and wipe.

Lianye waited for a while, Shizi's study was next door to his own yard, and there was only Zhu Sheng living here occasionally with Shizi, and a woman who was the gatekeeper.The mother-in-law usually only keeps watch at night and doesn't pay much attention to other things.

Knock on the door, but there is no sound coming from inside.Lianye quickly opened the door and slipped in.After a while, he took the tray and walked out with it.

"Do you really want to do this?" Chen Qilu hesitated, but also looked forward to it. Her mother sent her a letter today, telling her to seize the opportunity.It's okay if there is no family separation. If the family is separated, the father is a petty official and the mother is the daughter of a merchant.As a young lady, even if she borrowed the face of the old lady and the second lady, what kind of family could she find?
