Chapter 61
Ganqing is the only one who can confirm that there is no room, and it's not because he doesn't want it, but because he has no money.Rong Lanxue was once again deeply disappointed.
Jiang Shi saw some clues and asked, "Are you willing to marry as long as there is no room at home?"
Rong Lanxue hesitated for a moment, then said: "I hope my future husband will never take a concubine. However, since we are strangers to each other, it seems quite difficult to make such a request, so let's ask for no roommate first. As for the concubine matter, talk about it later."
Jiang Shi straightened her back, shrank her head back, looked at her, as if she was looking at a monster: "Then you have to marry that poor master, as long as you keep the family's money, even if he wants to take a concubine , nor that ability."
No, no, no, such a marriage is not what she wants.Rong Lanxue thought about it for a while, and said: "Forget it, since that's the case, I don't force it. No matter who it is, as long as it is willing to let go of the house before getting married, I will marry him."
Jiang Shi still regarded her as a monster, and said: "Xue'er, you have such high demands, how can you get married? If you have a grudge against me, you will be the one who suffers."
Rong Lanxue wondered, "How can I have any resentment towards my wife?"
Jiang was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled: "Yes, you won't complain, Mr. Li Yuli also has a housemate at home."
Li Yu has a roommate?Sharing a bed with another woman while deeply missing a loved one?He really doesn't delay anything, if that's the case, why should he keep pretending to never forget Lu'er and never get married?It's hypocrisy.Rong Lanxue knew that her thinking was too extreme. In the eyes of people at the time, Li Yu's behavior was already a representative of affection. What to fight with the dead.Well, she is demanding, she is destined to be difficult to marry, but she doesn't want to lower the standard at all, what should I do?
Seeing the servant girl urging her again, Jiang became anxious and asked again: "Xue'er, who are you picking?"
Rong Lanxue said firmly: "Except for the master and the concubine, the others, as long as they are willing to send out the room before they get married, I will marry him. If they are not willing to send back, the first thing is to wait for me to marry. Just do it yourself, give Tong Fang a sum of money to settle down, and ask her to leave the house, which will hurt the face of the two families, and everyone will not look good."
"Xue'er, are you deliberately against me?" Jiang slapped the table.
Rong Lanxue said: "Ma'am, how can this be against you, I have witnessed your situation in the mansion with my own eyes, so I swear to the death not to marry a concubine."
Jiang seemed to be caught by someone's sore foot and poked at his weak spot. The expression on his face was inexplicably complicated. Rong Lanxue didn't dare to look at him, she only looked at him from the corner of her eye. She knew that her fate was hanging by a thread According to Jiang's thinking, if she has more compassion, she will succeed.If she hates more, she will fail, but, no matter what, she has to take a gamble to feel at ease.
There are indeed mixed feelings in Jiang's heart. On the one hand, she admires Rong Lanxue's courage. She was not as proud as she was back then, and she was also unwilling to share the same husband with others. But the truth is cruel after all. When Rong Tiancheng repeatedly asked for a concubine, she What else can I do besides agreeing?Could it be that she cried, made trouble, and hanged herself?As a lady who has been educated by virtue and morality since she was a child, the reserve in her bones does not allow her to do this.
It is precisely because she has persevered and suffered too much that she felt offended when she heard Rong Lanxue's words at this time. She instinctively felt that Rong Lanxue despised her for not being firm enough back then. Under such a strong situation, Rong Tiancheng was allowed to accept so many concubines. Although she has no children, there are too many people who have no sons. What is unfilial is three things: having no descendants. When the husband's family needs the support of her mother's family Even if Rong Tiancheng wanted a son very much, he didn't have to take a concubine, she could choose a caring housemate, let her give birth to a son, and then raise him by herself.
However, in fact, she also chose this way, but that so-called caring girl, after giving birth to her son, became disobedient, refused to entrust her son to her upbringing, and urged Rong Tiancheng to take over her house. The concubine, as the only young lady of the Jiang family and the head mother of the Rong family, how could she endure such humiliation and betrayal, so for the first time, she committed an assassin out of conscience, making the child disappear from this world forever.Immediately afterwards, he took the initiative to accept a younger and more beautiful concubine for Rong Tiancheng, which soon made him love the new and dislike the old, and forgot to investigate the cause of the eldest son's death.
The plan was flawless, and the bitch who betrayed her finally lost her son and fell out of favor. It's just that this matter of taking concubines, as long as it is opened, it is like water that has been opened. It can't be stopped, women one after another Carrying towards the house, she was the eighth aunt in line in a blink of an eye, and Rong Tiancheng had so many sons that sometimes they even got their names mixed up, and she herself had gained a reputation of being a virtuous person, but who would know the pain that went straight to her heart? ?
After so many years, with the birth of sons and daughters one after another, her heart has gradually become numb, but Lan Xue's remark seemed to be uncovering the scars that she deliberately chose to forget. She was horrified to find that the scar she thought had healed long ago was still bloody, and it was as painful as it was back then.
Jiang looked straight at Rong Lanxue, wishing he could tell her through gritted teeth: You are wishful thinking. My mother's family is as strong as mine, and they can't stop my husband from taking concubines. What virtue and ability do you have? request!If the Rong Mansion was strong, there might still be such a possibility, but now that the Rong Mansion has gone bankrupt, its vitality has been greatly damaged, and the Jiang Mansion no longer spares no effort to support Rong Tiancheng, the current property of the Rong Mansion has shrunk by at least half. Moreover, in many places, due to the inaction of the Jiang family, Rong Tiancheng had to seek help from other families, which created a lot of constraints, otherwise he would not have thought of exchanging Rong Lanxue's marriage for something.All in all, it was really impossible for Rong Lanxue to make such a request under the current situation.
But Rong Lanxue's eyes are as firm as iron, and there is a precedent for wiping her neck against her relatives, can she refuse?Jiang shi thought and thought, and asked again: "Xue'er, are you willing to marry as long as those few people are willing to let go of the household and concubines?"
Rong Lanxue nodded affirmatively.
Jiang nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll help you inquire and see if anyone is willing to do this. I will give you an answer within three days, and I hope you don't break your promise."
Rong Lanxue said: "It's a deal."
The two reached an agreement, Jiang said again: "Everyone is in the garden, you can come with me to meet the scene."
Rong Lanxue nodded in agreement, and followed her to the garden. When she reached the rockery, Jiang left her behind while she went to the pavilion where the wives gathered.
This rockery is the largest one in Rong's mansion, it stretches like a small mountain peak, and there are winding passages in the middle of the mountain, if you go in and find a space to talk, others can't see it at all.Rong Lanxue greeted several younger sisters, and met several young ladies and gentlemen under their introduction, and exchanged polite words with each other.
She walked from one end of the rockery to the other, and found that several younger sisters were missing, such as sister Jiang, and sister Xiang. I don't know who went into the rockery with someone, or was called to Rong Tiancheng. Went to the study.Rong Lanxue thought for a while, then summoned the little maid serving tea nearby, and asked, "Where are the third and fifth misses?"
The little maid was very honest, and replied: "Miss Fifth just came back from the master, I don't know where she went now. Miss San was just called away by the master."
One just came back from Rong Tiancheng's place, and the other was called over right away. It seemed that the beating of Zong Yunlong was not her fault.Rong Lanxue breathed a sigh of relief, and gave the little maid a piece of silver.The little servant girl was happy, and added: "Miss Fifth went into the rockery, but she went in alone. If the eldest miss wants to find her, she should go there." She said, pointing to Rong Lanxue. direction.
Rong Lanxue thanked her, but she didn't go that way, thinking, what would she do with Sister Xiang, as long as the two confessed consistent.But Sister Fei, she really wanted to know more about it.So she looked around and found that Sister Fei was hiding behind the rockery and was talking with Jiang Zhiyuan. Now, she was even more puzzled, and hurried to a secluded place to ask Lianxiang: "Didn't you say that the third aunt already knew that Mrs. Jiang didn't intend to Leaving the family property to Mr. Jiang? Why is the fourth lady still looking like she never forgets him? And I got a letter today that the wife is going to marry the second lady to Li Yu, not to mention that the third aunt bribed the sixth aunt to give it to the master Blowing the pillow wind, do you want to marry the Fourth Miss to him, why did you suddenly change to the Second Miss?"
Lianxiang was very surprised: "The wife wants to marry the second lady to Mr. Li? How is this possible? Two days ago I heard that the sixth aunt asked the third aunt for jewelry, and I made a guarantee that the master would marry the fourth lady to the Li family! "
Seeing that she didn't believe her, Rong Lanxue pointed at Sister Fei and told her to watch, and said, "Look, if she didn't want to marry Mr. Jiang, why would Fourth Miss talk to him in private in public? Isn't she afraid of being misunderstood?"
Lianxiang looked puzzled, and said for a long time: "I'll go and find out for Miss."
But Rong Lanxue shook her head: "It's too late, I only have three days, no matter if it's a conspiracy, I can't take care of that much, let's ask for blessings, but there are a few people, you have to help them quickly I'll inquire." As he spoke, he quietly told her about the people he saw in the notebook just now, and told her: "Be sure to inquire clearly about the size of the family, whether the Weng Po is easy to get along with, and whether her personality and appearance are good or not. Defects, whether there are Tongfang and concubine rooms."
Lianxiang said: "It's simple, just ask a matchmaker and you'll know, but Miss, why do you want to inquire about this?"
Rong Lanxue said: "You don't care about the many, just ask."
Lianxiang vaguely guessed something, but Rong Lanxue didn't say anything, so she stopped asking.
"Miss, Mr. Li, please go over and talk." A little maid came over and said to Rong Lanxue.
Rong Lanxue looked up, and on the other side of the rockery stood a young man wearing a moon-white straight gown. He was handsome and gentle like jade, no doubt it was Li Yu.But she hesitated, not knowing whether she should go or not. On the one hand, she really wanted to ask Li Yu about the situation, and understand why Rong Lanqing suddenly wanted to marry him.But on the other hand, she was afraid of being seen by Jiang and misunderstood something. After all, he was the one Rong Lanqing wanted to marry, so she avoided suspicion.
She was hesitating, but Li Yu couldn't wait any longer, and walked over by himself, with a rather dissatisfied tone: "Why, I am soft-spoken, please don't let the young lady down?"
Rong Lanxue said in her heart, you came here by yourself, it's none of my business.Standing on the spot and saluting, he said, "Mr. Li asked the question knowingly."
When Lianxiang saw Li Yu approaching, she stood far away, avoiding and keeping watch.
Rong Lanxue looked around to see if there was no one there, and said boldly, "Congratulations, Mr. Li."
Li Yu stared at her motionless, with resentment in his eyes: "What kind of ecstasy did you use to persuade my mother to appoint your second young lady for me?"
Rong Lanxue wondered: "Is my second sister not good? Besides her marriage, there is nothing I can comment on. I just heard about it."
