Chapter 418 Concubine

The eldest wife was secretly annoyed in her heart, but she said courteously: "Daughter-in-law hasn't come to serve you for a long time, I'm getting old, and I miss you very much."

Old Madam Lu twitched the corners of her mouth, a smile that was not a smile, but she raised her arms to push the maids away and let her sit down and talk.

The eldest lady sat beside the old lady Lu, and raised her hand to gently pinch the old lady's legs.

The old lady Lu looked at her with half-closed eyes, and said slowly: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

The eldest lady's fingers froze for a while, and she said after a moment of silence: "You are still wise, you know whether I have something to ask you or not."

Old Madam Lu twitched her mouth proudly, and said lazily, "Let's talk."

The eldest wife stopped her movements and said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law is actually here for... for the second girl."

The old lady Lu narrowed her eyes, "Second girl? What's wrong with her?" Yibi said, Yibi half got up and reached out to take the hot tea on the kang table and gently blow the foam on it.

The eldest lady pursed her lips, and waited for Old Madam Lu to drink a sip of tea before she said: "The third girl's marriage is about to be finalized, and I am anxious about the second girl's marriage, after all, she is one year older than the third girl." According to her seniority, she should have been married first." She bit her lips slightly and said, "But my wife also knows that the Huo family is different from other families, and it is our Lu family's blessing to be married to them, so this marriage It can’t be delayed, it should be done sooner.”

The old lady Lu's expression sank when she first heard it, but she relaxed a little when she heard this, and she said lightly: "You are sensible, this marriage of the Huo family is hard-won, so no matter what the reason, I and I It is impossible for your father-in-law to procrastinate." After a slight pause, he said slowly: "Of course, the second girl has indeed reached the age to get married. The few young men I looked for for her a few years ago, unfortunately, all of them were married. It's all due to various reasons. Now if the third girl gets married first, it will indeed have a certain impact on her... Or... Let's take a look. If there is a suitable person, we can just settle down. At that time, it will be a big deal to get married with the third girl. Married on the same day, it's more lively." He added: "This girl has been with me for the past six months, and when she gets married, the dowry will not be less, and I will give her as much as the third girl has, you can rest assured about this .”

The eldest wife immediately said: "Daughter-in-law is naturally relieved, and knows that you will not treat the second girl badly." Turning her eyes, she let out a deep breath and said helplessly: "But is it so easy to find a good man? If you haven't been able to find a suitable one in the past few years, how can you find a good one these days?"

Mrs. Lu is also an old fox. When she heard this, she immediately felt that something was wrong, and immediately asked with narrowed eyes, "What? Do you have any plans?"

The eldest wife pursed her lips, and suddenly there was a bright light in her eyes, as if she had made up her mind, she said: "Yes, the daughter-in-law has a way to achieve both ends, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"Oh? The way to have both?" The old lady Lu narrowed her eyes and looked at her carefully from top to bottom. After a while, she took the tea cup and said: "Okay, tell me, I want to listen How can we achieve both?"

The eldest lady didn't hesitate too much, and said: "I think, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a good family to marry the second girl in such a short period of time. Instead of marrying her hastily, it's better..." Her voice A little trembling, she glanced at Old Madam Lu again, seeing that Madam Lu was listening carefully, she continued: "It's better to let her marry the third girl and make her the second son's concubine."

When the word "concubine" was mentioned, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. After all, her daughter was her own. Being a concubine for others always felt uncomfortable and wronged her daughter.

The old lady Lu was as shocked as expected, she even forgot to put down the teacup, and just looked at the eldest lady without saying a word while holding the teacup in the air.

In her impression, her daughter-in-law has always been a person with a great sense of family honor, and she is a concubine?How could she be willing?

However, the eldest wife went on to say: "Three girls marrying into the Huo family is certainly something worthy of congratulations from all of us in the family, but you and I both know clearly that life is not so easy for a wealthy family, three girls After she goes to Huo's house alone, she must be alone, even if she is wronged, who can stand up for her?"

She looked at the old lady Lu without blinking, and then said: "The grievance is second. After all, life is not easy, and bumps and bumps are inevitable, but children are always a big deal, right? You can guarantee that the third girl will be able to give birth to the Huo family after marrying her." Have a son? If she can't have a son, how long will she be pampered by her beauty alone? Men always eat what's in the bowl and look at what's in the pot. It's normal to like the new and dislike the old. Maybe another woman will replace her on that day position, when the time comes, the Lu family will become penniless again in the eyes of the Huo family."

The old lady Lu frowned deeply. She had to say that these words were quite reasonable. Judging from the experience of those who have experienced it, a woman's marriage is a gamble. If the gamble is wrong, it will lose everything.

She squeezed her fingers, raised her hand a little and said, "Go on."

Seeing that Mrs. Lu didn't object at all, the eldest lady calmed down a little, and said slowly: "After all, the second girl is the elder sister of the third girl, and she hasn't settled down with her now, as you said just now, if the third girl Marrying first will definitely have an impact on her. I thought about it. Instead of letting the second girl marry a slutty man with no talent and virtue, it is better to follow the third girl to the Huo family to be a concubine. One, her future destination If there is a place for her, secondly, she can also help the third girl on weekdays. The third is the most important. If the third girl married and failed to give birth to a son, wouldn't there be a second girl? The two sisters together , I don't believe that a son will not be born yet? When the time comes, with the blood of the Huo family close by, the road between the Huo family and the Lu family will never be broken. Do you think this is the truth? "

Her mouth was a little dry when she spoke, and her voice was a little hoarse at the end.

However, the old lady Lu's eyes slowly narrowed when she heard this, and she remained silent. After a long time, she twitched the corners of her mouth and said calmly, "Are you really doing this for the Lu family?"

The eldest lady looked embarrassed, what she was thinking in her heart, in fact, the old lady Lu understood after listening to her words.

Of course, the eldest wife didn't want to admit it outright, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Daughter-in-law is really thinking about our Lu family. After all, having good in-laws will also be of great help to our Lu family in the future, especially those like the Huo family. Its backing, if you rely on it, it will definitely bring benefits."

This is quite true.
