concubines are respected

Chapter 139
"Since ancient times, there has been a saying that sisters have died to fill in houses. In this case, how about I marry Qiuqin to Lin Aiqing?" The emperor said to Lin Mo with a smile. Obviously, this statement is not an imperial decree, but just to ask for opinions. .

Lin Mocheng just woke up from a coma, and before he could clear his head, he saw the emperor pointing out his wife's room for him. After being slightly startled, he immediately cheered up and replied, "Your Majesty, I have a good wife in my family, how can I do it again?" marry."

Suxian heard her father's words, rolled her eyes imperceptibly, and thought to herself, good wife?Bah, if a vicious person like Da Furen can be regarded as a virtuous wife, then wouldn't it be a curse word for a virtuous wife!

However, my father didn't see through the ugly face of the eldest lady, and thought she was so virtuous and virtuous, but... But the emperor's idea is good, since the emperor is based on the idea of ​​filling in the house, it is natural to fill in the mother's flat wife In terms of status, my aunt is a flat wife when she enters the mansion, and she is also a marriage bestowed by the current emperor, so her status is not lower than that of the first wife, the eldest lady.

Besides, although his father was nearly forty years old, he was handsome and handsome. Even though he had been ill for a long time, he had already recovered after being diagnosed and treated by Tang Xuanyu.The age of my aunt is not too young. If she is forced to marry someone else, she will not be able to enjoy the honor of a regular wife. It is not reconciled to be a concubine in the Zhang family.Therefore, it is not wronged to marry Duke Huguo as an equal wife.

I just don't know if my aunt is interested in my father?
Thinking of this, Suxian looked at Qiuqin, only to see that Qiuqin's face was flushed with shame, her bright black eyes looked at her father shyly, she quickly glanced at her, and quickly retracted her gaze, the corners of her lips curled up in a graceful arc , so it seems that there is drama!
Suxian was delighted, and immediately took a step forward, bowed down to the emperor, and said loudly, "The daughter of the people thanked the emperor for his father's kindness."

"Hahaha!" The emperor asked loudly, looking at the agile woman in the hall, "Lin Suxian, you are more impatient than your father. So, as a daughter, you have no objection?"

But Lin Mocheng shouted to Suxian with a flushed face, "Xian'er, don't be fooling around. You have a wife and room for your father, how can you marry another wife and return home."

"Father, you were injured and fainted just now, so you don't know about it. Qiuqin is not someone else. She is Qian'er's long-lost aunt and mother's sister. Now the emperor has shown mercy and specially proposed marriage for the aunt. It is reasonable to ask your aunt to fill the position of mother's equal wife to fill in the house. There is no conflict between the position of equal wife and the first wife. The emperor Long En not only conferred you the title of Duke of Protecting the Country, but also pointed out that Dear wife and room, how long will you wait if you don't accept the order and thank you?" Lin Suxian said to her father with a smile.

After listening to Suxian's words, Lin Mocheng realized that so many incidents happened in such a short period of time when he fainted. The official rank of a mere magistrate jumped to the position of Duke Protector, and he even had to be bestowed by the Holy Majesty on his wife. What made him unbelievable the most was that the person the emperor bestowed the marriage on was actually the younger sister of his deceased beloved wife.Such a wonderful thing, how could the word fate be so important?
Slightly stunned, Lin Mocheng stopped refusing, tried his best to get up and propped up his slightly weak body, and knelt down to the emperor, "I thank the emperor for his grace!"

Seeing this, Qiuqin on the side was even more shy and buried her head in silence.Concubine Rou smiled lightly and said to Qiu Qin, "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and thank you. From now on, you will no longer be a slave in the palace, but an upright and upright Madam Protector."

Qiuqin obediently blessed Concubine Rou, and then stepped forward to thank the saint, her spiritual eyes turned to look at Lin Mocheng, who happened to meet Moze's eyes, and her heart suddenly hit like a deer, and her cheeks turned even redder Immediately, he jawed his head, his brows and eyes full of spring drooped down, staring at the gently twisted silk in his hand, his appearance was extremely shy.

Although he only had a quick glance, Lin Mocheng could clearly see the shadow of his dead wife in the brows and eyes of the other party. Although his face was calm, there was a ripple in his heart...

The emperor smiled and looked at the eyebrows and eyes of the two people in the hall to express their affection. It seems that he has been very successful in his old age this month, and the two have seen each other right, "Hehe, there is another beautiful thing in the palace, Concubine Rou, Qiuqin I have served you for many years, and I allow you to do my best for this marriage."

Concubine Rou got up and came down deeply, with a deep smile on her face, she said to the emperor, "My majesty, Qiuqin is the sister of the great general of Dingguo, but she has served my concubines as a slave for many years. The person who came here has a deep relationship with the concubine. Therefore, the concubine intends to accept Qiuqin as a righteous daughter and marry into the Duke Huguo's mansion as the golden branch of the royal family. I don't know what the emperor wants?"

"Okay, let's play." The emperor agreed, "Concubine Rou, just go back and make preparations. The big wedding will be held in three days, and you will preside over the big wedding on my behalf."

Qiuqin was overwhelmed by the flattery and thanked her again and again, "My servant thanked the emperor and empress for your kindness."

Concubine Rou stepped forward, pulled Qiuqin's catkin, and said with a smile in her eyes, pretending to be angry, "The emperor has allowed me to accept you as a righteous daughter. Now that you are a golden branch and jade leaf, how can you call yourself a slave? You are not happy." Change your words to thank you!"

"That's right, slave... Qiuqin thanked her father and concubine Long En." Qiuqin kowtowed to thank her again, and when she raised her head, her eyes were filled with tears.

******************
Three days later, Qiuqin was granted the grace of the sage, and married into the Lin Mansion as a half-princess honorary honor.Although she is an ordinary wife, but because she is the direct sister of the great general of Dingguo and the adopted daughter of Concubine Rou, she is considered by others to be a married woman. Invisibly, her status is higher than that of the wife, the regular wife, and she is much more dignified.

Even though the madam's seven orifices are filled with smoke, she dare not show any signs of innocence.The old lady was overjoyed to have this noble daughter-in-law, and she personally ordered to tidy up Dongyuan and set it up as Qiuqin's residence.

This night, with several degrees of spring breeze, the inexhaustible nephrite jade is warm and fragrant, soft and charming...
the day after the wedding
Suxian got up early, washed up properly, and went to Dongyuan to greet her under the service of Yanzi and Cuiya.

Although she is newly married, Qiuqin knows how to be courteous. When the hour passed, she opened the door of the main room, dressed properly, and sat firmly in the front room.

"Xian'er pays respects to father and mother." Suxian entered the room and kowtowed to the two sitting firmly on the wide seat in the front room.

"Xian'er doesn't need to be too polite." Qiuqin is full of gratitude for Suxian's aunt and nephew affection. If she hadn't spoken in the holy hall that day, how could she have married such a satisfied husband-in-law? In front of him, he wanted to help Suxian get up.

"Please take a seat, mother." Suxian knelt down and said with deep blessing, then took the tea cup presented by the woman beside her, and held it firmly on the top, "Xian'er presents tea to mother."

Lin Mocheng smiled and nodded repeatedly at his beloved daughter who knew the rules, and said to Qiuqin sideways, "Qiuqin, the rules cannot be broken, you can bear the tea served by Qian'er."

Qiuqin glanced at Lin Mocheng coquettishly, nodded slightly, took the teacup from Suxian's hand, took a sip, then picked up the brocade box on the table beside her, handed it to Suxian, and said softly, "Xian'er accept it, this is a gift from your mother for meeting you."

"Xian'er thanks mother for the blessing." After marriage, rewarding the younger generation with a meeting gift, which means blessing, is a rule that must be followed, and Suxian naturally will not refuse.

"Open it and have a look, but you still like it." Qiuqin said to Suxian with a flash of inspiration in her eyes.

Suxian opened the brocade box, and a black jade bracelet jumped into view. What is it if it is not the jade bracelet given to Qiuqin and mother by her grandmother back then?
"Mother, this bracelet is the only thought grandma left for you, how can Qian'er accept it so easily." Suxian said anxiously.

"That's right, this bracelet is indeed the only thing your grandmother left for your mother. Back then, your mother passed her bracelet to you. Now that I am your mother, I will pass on this bracelet to you. You, why can't you bear to say it. Qian'er just accept it, this is the mother's wish, and it is also the wish of your grandmother's spirit in heaven." Although Qiuqin is not very old, she speaks and behaves dignifiedly and behaves properly, which is really worthy of her. She is a close servant who has served Concubine Rou for many years, and her words and deeds are not inferior to the beauty of the boudoir of a rich family.

Father Lin looked at his lovely wife and became more and more satisfied, "You don't need to be too polite, since your mother blessed you with this thing, it is your mother's wish, so you just accept it."

Suxian no longer shirked, and handed the brocade box to Yanzi who was at the side, blessed her body again according to the rules, and just stood up.

After the morning appointment, the mother and daughter chattered for a while. Seeing that the time for a cup of tea had passed, no one came to Dongyuan. According to the rules of marrying a common wife, the children and aunts in the family had to go to the house on the day after the wedding. Ping's wife greeted her in the morning in Yuanzhong, and then she followed Ping's wife to meet in the room of the eldest wife and the main wife, and went to the old lady's room to say hello.

But seeing that the time had passed, no one came to Dongyuan except Suxian. Lin Mocheng couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face, and said in a deep voice to Lin An, the servant who was waiting close by, "Go to the big house." Miss, Third Aunt and Fourth Miss’ room to look around, but something has delayed the morning appointment to say hello.”

"Young one, let's go now." Lin An is a servant of the Lin Mansion. He used to do odd jobs in the front yard. Because of his quick hands and feet and quick mind, after Lin Mocheng returned to the mansion, the old lady personally pointed him to serve Lin Mocheng.

Lin An trotted away all the way, and came back in less than a cup of tea, "Master, the eldest lady, the fourth lady, and the third aunt are not in the room at this time, and the young one heard from the maid in their garden that they Let's all go to the lady's room to say hello..."

"Nonsense!" Lin Mocheng was slightly annoyed, and shouted in a dark voice, "Qinru comes from everyone, and she is also a person who understands the general rules and rules. They don't understand some rules, and Qinru should understand them. How can they be allowed to mess around! "

Suxian curled her lips slightly, and thought to herself, what they did today was not because they didn't understand the rules, but because they did it deliberately, with the purpose of giving the new wife a bad impression!The meaning of the eldest lady is self-evident, everyone went to her room to say hello, just implying that Qiuqin should also go to her room to say hello, and then the eldest lady led everyone to the old lady's room for morning settling.In this way, the superiority and inferiority are determined by oneself, although according to the rules of the mansion, the ordinary wife and the first wife sit on the same level regardless of size.But if this situation continues, there will be a distinction between size and size invisibly. In the future, Qiuqin, an ordinary wife, will be three points lower in front of the eldest lady.

snort!The eldest lady is really calculating, Suxian secretly hates, I will let you get away with it, and you will ride on your neck when Qiuqin enters the mansion!
