Kido

Chapter 168

Jin Nian smiled generously and decently, but there was an unconcealable look of desolation between his brows.She is also a pregnant woman, Xiaoqi enjoys various privileges in the Marquis of Nanning, but she has to be careful with her mother-in-law in the Marquis of Yichun.What is my identity, what is Xiao Qi's identity, there is a big difference.However, Empress Dowager Xu meddled in her own business, and now Xiao Qi is stronger than her own daughter.

There are two jade pots in the warm pavilion, in which there are graceful single-petal narcissus, shaped like a cup, with a delicate fragrance of flowers, also known as "Jade Terrace Marigold".Jin Nian praised politely, "The flowers are well arranged, the warmer the room is, the more fragrant the flowers are, so elegant."

Jinnian talked about it from left to right. Fleeting Years is very witty. He smiled and talked about potted plants and decorations. "Daffodils and wintersweet are both good in winter. Narcissus is fragrant, and wintersweet is strong and fragrant. They are both good products."

Behind Liu Nian stood two big girls and two nuns, who took good care of Liu Nian.The two nuns are middle-aged women with a gentle appearance, polite words and deeds, and they are attentive and thoughtful in serving Fleeting Nian.These two nuns were not married by Xie's family, they were obviously sent by Madam Hou of Nanning.But he is respectful and affectionate towards Fleeting Years, without putting on airs at all.

It was a bit hot in the Nuan Pavilion, and Jin Nian felt irritable, "I haven't seen Seventh Sister for a long time, it seems that I have a thousand words to say, and when I want to speak, it seems that I have nothing to say." Liu Nian smiled, "No rush, no hurry Sixth Sister thinks slowly, let's calm down." He waved his hand and ordered the maids, nuns and others to step back.

Jin Nian also dismissed the maid, and looked at Fleeting Nian with a complicated expression, "There is one thing I just learned a few years ago. Seventh sister, my mother-in-law used to see you." At that time, Mrs. Quan returned to the capital for the first time, and she was only thinking about it for Huang Ke. Seeing a talented and beautiful daughter from a famous family, she was quite interested in Fleeting Years until she learned that Fleeting Years was a concubine.

Fleeting Years look unchanged.If the elder sister in front of her was Rui Nian, she could still show off in an airy way, "It's too late! I've been spotted a long time ago, and I've been fixed long ago!" But for Jin Nian, it's better to keep a low profile.

Jinnian gritted his teeth.Xiaoqi, you are able to marry into the Nanning Marquis Mansion, it is simply inexplicable!Who knows what's wrong with Empress Dowager Xu?Knowing that Mrs. Yichun Hou has seen you, are you indifferent?

Jinnian smiled meaningfully, "My mother-in-law really likes you, but it's a pity that you are a concubine, so you can't be the first wife of the Marquis of Yichun. Do you know? Later, when I discussed marriage with the eldest son, my mother-in-law once thought , if the marriage is completed, I want you to come here." Xiao Qi, if you are not a sudden whim of the Empress Dowager Xu, you are destined to be your concubine.

Fleeting Year's expression remained unchanged, listening quietly. "Mother-in-law once thought about it", it must have been imagined by that bamboo pole-like Mrs. Quan secretly, how did you know Jinnian?Could it be that you and Mrs. Quan are good mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who talk about everything, and she will tell you everything she ever thought in her heart.

Jin Nian didn't see Fleeting Nian's embarrassment and embarrassment, so he was a little disappointed, "Later, this marriage was never discussed, and the concubine's mother-in-law just thought about it. Later, you were given to Nanning Marquis Mansion by Queen Mother Xu, my marriage It's just decided. My mother-in-law just sighed it's a pity." It's a pity that such a beautiful concubine can't be a concubine.

Jin Nian held his big belly and looked at Fleeting Nian with a smile.Liu Nian smiled faintly, "Sixth Sister, didn't your mother-in-law once wanted to have a concubine, but now does she want to have a concubine?" Jin Nian is not a stunning talent, but he is not stupid or stupid.She told the embarrassing past so clearly, not just to make her face feel bad and feel uncomfortable, there must be other reasons.What could it be?That bamboo pole-like Mrs. Quan has a stubborn temper, and even fantasizes about a beautiful concubine if she is not neat.

Jinnian was startled, and hastily denied, "No, no! Now that you've already married, how can there be any concubine?" Concubine is an ancient ritual. After the Tang Dynasty, where would there be concubine?What nonsense.It's just that if the nonsense person has a special status and a paranoid temper, it is really troublesome.

"That's very good." Liu Nian nodded slowly, "Sixth Sister, we are sisters of the same father and sister. If you are honored, you will be honored together, and if you are humiliated, you will be humiliated together. If Mrs. Yichun Hou uses some concubine to make things difficult for you, I will not just watch. I will definitely stand behind Sixth Sister and cheer for you."

Jin Nian forced a smile, "Thank you very much. If you have something to do in the future, tell your sister, and she will make the decision for you." Between sisters, you should help me, and I will help you. That's right.If Xiaoqi asked her for something, she, as a sister, would definitely not stand by and watch.

Jinnian always cares about face, and never forgets the dignity of being a legitimate daughter.Liu Nian didn't ask too much, and talked about food with relish, "Yesterday I ate a yam ball. It tastes really good and looks good." Jin Nian smiled cooperatively, "Really? It's good."

There is no doubt that Jinnian's marriage must have encountered problems.Before Huang Ke got married, he had a housemate, and there seemed to be more than one.After they got married, they respected Jinnian very much, and those housekeepers rarely paid attention to them.But since Jinnian was pregnant, Mrs. Quan rewarded a big girl who served her personally, and Huang Ke didn't refuse.

The institution of marriage appeared from the very beginning to protect the interests of men, not women.The original human beings had no restrictions on the relationship between the sexes, not only between brothers and sisters, but also between parents and children with direct blood relatives.Later, it developed into group marriage and pair marriage. It was not until private ownership took shape that monogamy appeared.The emergence of the monogamous marriage system is to protect the man's property, and the wife is also part of the husband's property.Under such a marriage system, if a woman wants to fight for a better life for herself, she needs strength and wisdom.

Just take the Xie family as an example, the old lady has strength, the eldest wife has wisdom, and both live well.The fourth wife is a middle-aged person, neither too kind nor too vicious, but when she meets a family like the Xie family and has children like Yannian, Jinnian, and Bainian, the rest of her life will be safe and smooth.Of course, feelings are another matter.Etiquette can guarantee the status of the first wife, but it cannot guarantee the tenderness like water.

The two pregnant women talked happily about the daily routine.Jin Nian seemed to mention it unintentionally, "Seventh Sister, if your mother-in-law wants to choose a concubine for your husband-in-law, what would you do? Just kidding, Seventh Sister, it's just if."

Liu Nian smiled slightly, "My mother-in-law is like my mother-in-law, how could she come up with such an idea. If her old man really plays with me like this, I will tell her: The prince is not as honorable as Lord Hou, and the prince has no concubine, how dare the prince have one?" ?” Tell that bamboo pole-like Mrs. Quan, to fortify a woman, first give you a man!
Jinnian smiled softly, "Sister Qi is very smart." Fleeting Nian smiled and waved his hands, "Where is it, it's too much." Can't help but boast.Just a word of praise, and you'll be overjoyed.

Jin Nian asked leisurely again, "If there is a beautiful and talented girl from a relative's family who accidentally falls into the arms of your husband-in-law, what should you do?" The previous sentence, "Her family is in decline, and it is difficult to find a high-ranking marriage."

Fleeting Nian snorted, "It's not easy to handle. If she falls into the arms of one man, she can fall into the arms of another man. I want to see, how many can she marry at the same time?!" Why, you can design the scene, can't I?A girl in this situation will not have too many maids around her, and her strength will not be too strong. It should not be difficult to design her.

Jinnian lowered his eyelids, wondering what he was thinking.Fleeting Nian chattered and said, "This kind of girl is the last thing to enter the door, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Sixth sister, we have seen Wu Xuan and Wu Peng from the Korean government before, do you remember? Both of them have such People, the family is not peaceful all day long."

Jin Nian looked over with a half-smile, "Who wouldn't want a house as clean as yours, where can it be?" Xiao Qi, you had some good luck for no reason, and you don't know the sufferings of the world.There is no way for a noble lady who wants to take a concubine for her husband.

"I live my life day by day." Fleeting Nian objected, "What kind of life do you want to live, and what kind of plans you have to make." If you want to live a clean life, then think of a way, whose good life is Did it fall from the sky without any management?
"Then let me learn from you." Jinnian smiled, "If your husband-in-law has someone else he likes, what will you do, Seventh Sister?" As a man, he will not refuse beautiful women who come to his door, the more the better.Women can't be "envious", but should be virtuous, generous and tolerant, what should I do.

Fleeting Years is out of anger.Naishan empathizes?how is this possible!With a stunning beauty like me, who is ashamed as a fish, a wild goose, and a moon, there is another person he likes?Jinnian, you really have no wink, no vision, and you are not good at words.

Liu Nian straightened his waist, "Nashan won't be like this, we are on good terms! If he really likes other women, I will cry to death, and the baby in my stomach will also be sad..."

"Don't talk nonsense." The young man's deep and melodious voice came over, the door curtain was lifted, and Zhang Yi was wearing a sable fur, and walked slowly to Liu Nian, with a reproach on his face, "Baby will take what you say seriously."

Zhang Yi squatted down and spoke seriously to his belly, "Baby, your mother was talking nonsense just now, don't pay attention to her. Daddy loves your mother and baby, so he won't like others." How can you talk nonsense to your child? , this is not possible.

Sweet words don’t require money, and Fleeting Years has always been generous, “Naishan is the best, I’m so moved that I want to cry” “We and the baby are a family, no one can separate us” “The three of us stay together, and we don’t want one more person " Zhang Xi smiled, "How come, we will have a baby in the future." Be a good boy, it's impossible to have a baby.

The afternoon sun shone in, a little dazzling.Jinnian closed his eyes, feeling empty in his heart.Little cousin is so considerate and affectionate towards his wife, Xiaoqi, you are a concubine, how can you make little cousin treat you like this?

At the end of the day, Jinnian and Huang Ke bid farewell and left the mansion.Fleeting Nian wanted to ask Shen Chen about something, and Zhang Yi went with her.When Shen Chen and Jian Shengnan saw Fleeting Years approaching, they both smiled and ordered, "Small and gentle, don't run or jump." When you are pregnant with a child, don't be naughty anymore.

Fleeting Years is very serious, "Since I passed my birthday, I am an adult through and through." I have been asking myself to be good or not according to adult standards, and even coaxing me like a child.

After joking and joking for a while, Fleeting Nian expressed his intention of coming: Jinnian seems to be not going well, is there something wrong with the Marquis of Yichun's Mansion?Shen Chen and Huang Ke also have some friendship, and they may know a thing or two about the Yichun Houfu.

Shen Chen laughed and said, "You little one loves sisters very much." Fleeting Nian smiled, "Don't talk about the same father and sister, even if the cousin has something to do, she will lend a helping hand. It's not for them, but for father and grandfather. Big brother You don't know, my grandfather and father are people who love children, and they will worry about any children and grandchildren who are not comfortable."

Both Shen Chen and Jian Shengnan clicked their tongues, "Admiration, admiration." It turns out that the little one is so filial to the old lady and Xie Siye, but I didn't realize it before.Zhang Xi put on a serious face, "Brother and sister-in-law, don't make a playful smile." The little one is here to ask a serious matter, look at you, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are not upright.

The more serious Zhang Xi was, the more Shen Chen wanted to laugh.Jian Shengnan pulled him secretly, "Don't laugh, don't laugh, little Axie will become angry from embarrassment." Shen Chen said seriously: "I have never paid attention to the affairs of the Huang family. Don't worry about my brothers and sisters. I will ask someone to inquire about the affairs of the Huang family. It's not hard to find out." Liu Nian happily thanked her, and Zhang Xi walked slowly with her.Shen Chen held back until little Axie and Xiao Budian had gone far away and out of sight, then he burst out laughing.

Shen Chen has always been efficient in his work, and quickly found out the inside story of the Yichun Marquis Mansion: Wasn't Xue Shi the matchmaker for the marriage between Jinnian and Huang Ke?Mrs. Xue's family had a niece who was born in Wufu, surnamed Zhang, who somehow was seen by Mrs. Quan, admired her very much, and dragged her to Yichunhou's mansion from time to time.Then somehow, the girl in this chapter fell into Huang Ke's arms.

Miss Zhang is a side branch of the Marquis of Wu'an, "The side branches are usually very poor." Shen Chen explained.Fleeting Nian nodded understandingly, I know that the offshoots of Jia's family in Dream of the Red Chamber are also very poor, and they have to live in Jia's house.

An innocent girl falls into the arms of a man, can she live again?Miss Zhang was crying and wanted to die, Huang Ke looked at the beautiful face with pear blossoms and rain, and resolutely said, "I will marry you!"

This marriage is not easy.It is impossible to marry as a regular wife. Huang Ke has a wife, and his wife is still a daughter of a prominent family. There is an old uncle Ge in her natal family, and a father who is in charge of politics.As a concubine, the Zhang family felt that they couldn't afford to lose this person.After much grinding, Mrs. Quan had a good idea, and she was ready to be a concubine.The women who are concubines are all from good backgrounds and have status, and they are almost less than the main wife.Miss Zhang and Ke's daughter-in-law are cousins, so it's just right for them to be wives.

Here comes the problem again.Wife, it is only found in ancient books, but in fact no one has ever married.This girl, what kind of marriage method?The Yichun Hou Mansion is discussing with the Zhang family.It is said to be Yichunhou's Mansion, but it is actually Mrs. Quan.Yichun Hou let go of his foreign post, and he was not in the capital at all, and he didn't know about it.

Shen Chen told the story back and forth, and found that Liu Nian was staring at him with ill intentions.Not only staring at himself, but also staring at Xiao Ah Xie for a long time.What's wrong with you little boy, what bad idea do you have?

"Both of you, although both are sons of the Hou family, are neither suitable." Fleeting Nian concluded, "Let's find another person, whose identity is similar to Huang Ke's, and whose family background is similar to Huang Ke's. Don't be too old. Don't be too ugly, it must have a temperament of pity and sympathy."

"Can I understand that this person must be lustful?" Zhang Xi asked modestly.Liu Nian rubbed his chin, "In layman's terms, that's it. But Naishan, it's better to be more reserved." Zhang Xi nodded approvingly, "It's reasonable, it's reasonable."

Shen Chen has quite a lot of contacts, "There are three or two of such people. Let me think about it, choose a young, beautiful, kind-hearted girl for Zhang." There is such a person in Wu'anhou's family, but the same It's Zhang, it's too ridiculous, let's change it.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the Marquis of Wu'an hosted a banquet for guests.Zhao Guogong's grandson, Jiang Qing, was also sitting there. Because the emperor was raised by Jingxiao Zhenren, he took great care of Zhao Guogong's mansion. Jiang Qing wandered around all day and lived a happy life.
