concubines are respected

Chapter 29 Dilemma
"Good thing? What's good about Suxian?" Suxian didn't know, so she put the tray in her hand on the red sandalwood round table in the room, and asked with a smile.Turning around and seeing Steward Lin with an unfamiliar face sitting on the guest seat, Suxian immediately showed embarrassment, moved her head to the side of the old lady, and said in a low voice, "Grandmother, Qian'er didn't know that there was a guest in the house, and Qian'er was rude. .”

"It's okay." The old lady smiled reluctantly, and said to Suxian, "This is Guanshi Zhong from Annanhou's residence."

Suxian stepped forward, and said, "Lin Suxian has met Mr. Zhong."

Guanshi Zhong didn't recognize Suxian at first, when he saw her holding a green melon in her hand when she first entered the door, she was dressed plainly and thought she was a maid from the mansion.Then he heard the third aunt calling her boudoir's name, Guanshi Zhong immediately looked at Suxian a little more in surprise.

Looking closely at this woman, although her attire is simple, she is extremely beautiful, her docile brows reveal a hint of shrewdness, her manners are decent, her gait is dignified and elegant, she is not inferior to the famous ladies in Beijing.It's just that the daughter of the Lin family will not be able to do the work of a servant, so Guanshi Zhong is not sure whether the person in front of him is really the wife of the future son.

At this time, with the introduction of the old lady, Guanshi Zhong finally affirmed Suxian's identity.Immediately stepped forward with a smile, and shouted to Suxian's respectful Fushen, "Old slave Zhong Tao sees the eldest lady."

Just now in front of the old lady and the eldest lady, Guanshi Zhong did not call himself a slave.Guanshi Zhong has always had a very high spirit. In his opinion, even if he is a slave, he is only a slave of the Marquis of Annan.To the outside world, he can be regarded as a person of some status.Even if the Lin Mansion and the Hou Mansion are related by marriage, the people of the Lin Mansion are definitely not his masters.

But the woman in front of her is different. The marriage between her and the son was arranged by the old Hou Ye himself many years ago.Over the years, Master Hou has been talking about this marriage all the time.Recently, the old Hou Ye's condition has deteriorated, and he is worried that if he passes away, he will not have the opportunity to witness his daughter-in-law enter the house. Therefore, he ordered Guan Zhong to go to Lin's mansion as soon as possible to finalize the marriage, so as to fulfill his long-cherished wish.It can be seen that Lord Hou attaches great importance to this marriage.

In this way, it is inevitable for the person in front of him to marry into the Hou's Mansion, it's just a matter of time.It is reasonable for him to respect him as his master.

Suxian received Guanshi Zhong's salutation, immediately took a few steps back in surprise, and said softly, "Mr. Zhong thinks he has misunderstood, Suxian is not Miss Lin's family."

"Of course it's a misunderstanding, and it's not a small one." The eldest lady finally recovered from her shock, looked at Suxian with cold eyes and said.

"Oh? Here." Guanshi Zhong was completely dumbfounded, and cast a questioning look at the old lady.

The old lady raised her hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Guan Zhong is not in a hurry."

Then he handed the letter paper to the eldest lady, and said softly, "Qinru, take a look for yourself, this letter is indeed written by Mo Cheng himself. It must be Mo Cheng's intention."

The eldest lady didn't care about waiting for the maid to pass it on, she got up and took the letter paper from the old lady's hand, and read it carefully several times. The handwriting of the master on the letter paper was clearly black and white, and Lin Suxian's three characters were even more beautiful. It hurt her eyeballs.

The hatred in the eyes of the eldest lady was fleeting, and suppressing the urge to crush the letter paper, she raised her head and said to the old lady, "Old lady, my daughter-in-law thinks there must be a mistake in this matter. Although the letter is indeed in the master's handwriting. But As far as my daughter-in-law knows, when the old master and the old Hou Ye made a marriage agreement, it was after drinking for three rounds. Maybe the person that the old master had in mind at that time was Laner, but when he was writing, he was drunk and wrote it wrongly. Suxian's name. Otherwise, the master would never write like this, how could he marry a concubine into the noble Marquis's mansion as his wife."

After the eldest lady finished speaking, Guanshi Zhong suddenly understood why the old lady had a strange look on her face just now. It turned out that the woman named Lin Suxian in the letter was not the daughter of the Lin family.This is naturally inappropriate, how can the dignified son of the Marquis Mansion match up with a concubine daughter, how can the Marquis Mansion in the future let a concubine daughter be the head of the house?
Thinking of this, Guanshi Zhong said to the old lady suspiciously, "Old lady, is there really something wrong with it?"

The old lady was silent, tapped the hand of the seat with her fingers, thinking to herself: There is no better mother than a knowing son. In terms of how much Mo Cheng loved Suxian's mother and daughter back then, there is a trace of giving this marriage to Suxian. can be found.

But Marquis Annan's mansion is not an ordinary mansion, how could he be willing to marry a concubine's daughter, not to mention that the eldest lady also looks like she is determined to get this marriage, and will definitely obstruct it many times.

The most difficult thing is that if you try your best to overcome all difficulties and promise Suxian to the son according to the meaning in the letter, because of her status as a concubine, she will definitely be criticized by others. People speculated that the Lin family lacked sincerity in this already high-flying marriage.Wouldn't it be counterproductive to offend Annanhou's mansion because of this!

The old lady weighed the pros and cons, and finally made up her mind to disobey Lin Mocheng's will, even though she knew that when Mo Cheng wrote this letter, he would not have written the letter by mistake as the lady said.But Lin Mocheng was too thoughtless back then, how could he be so disregarding the overall situation, he was bewitched by Mrs. Zhang back then, and became confused, a mother can't follow suit.Everything should be the overall situation.

Having made up her mind, the old lady glanced apologetically at the dazed Suxian beside her, then nodded slightly to the eldest lady, and said seriously to Guanshi Zhong, "Guard Zhong, there must be something wrong here. The Lin Suxian written in the letter is the second girl of the mansion, born to a noble concubine in the mansion. Therefore, Suxian is not the daughter of the Lin mansion. Mo Cheng thought it was a mistake after drinking, and wrote Suxian's name by mistake. Go up. Therefore, the people in the letter must be countless. It is better to let the old man make the decision and marry the only daughter in the house, Lin Zhilan, to the eldest son, so as to make up for Mo Cheng's mistake in writing."

"This." Guan Zhong was in a dilemma. Before leaving the mansion, Lord Hou repeatedly confessed that the person who wrote the letter was the wife of the future son, but he did not mention whether the other party's identity was born or not.

As for the story of the prostitute, it was just wishful thinking.But at this time, the old lady abruptly changed the person she believed in to another woman. How can the master's life-long event be changed just by changing it, let alone that her servant dared to make decisions for her , "This, old lady, please forgive Zhong for not daring to make decisions."

The eldest lady was a little dissatisfied when she heard the words, "Boss Lin is worrying too much. Is it possible that the son of the dignified Marquis will marry a concubine? This matter must have been a mistake back then. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and did not cause more serious problems." misunderstanding."

"Ma'am, what you said is wrong. Zhong was ordered by the Marquis to propose marriage to the girl in the letter. If Zhong went back to the mansion today, the marriage horoscope submitted to the master was not the name of the girl in the letter. I'm afraid I can't explain it." " As he spoke, Guanshi Zhong raised his head and said in a deep voice, "As for whether Mr. Lin really made a mistake in his writing, Zhong doesn't dare to jump to conclusions. Zhong just followed the book."

Seeing Guanshi Zhong being so stubborn, the eldest lady lost her temper immediately, and her tone of voice was not as pleasant as before, "Guan Zhong, although you are doing things according to the book, don't you worry about sending a concubine daughter If the Marquis is unhappy, will he be punished?"

As she said that, the eldest lady changed the subject and continued, "Even if you are not worried, this matter is related to the friendship between the Lin Mansion and the Annanhou Mansion for many years. We absolutely dare not let you take Lin Suxian's horoscope back, so that It ruined the long-term friendship between the Lin Mansion and the Annanhou Mansion."

What Da Furen said is quite clear, if you want to get the horoscope today, you can only take away Lin Zhilan's, if you want to get Lin Suxian's, there is no way.

Guanshi Zhong thought for a while, and now he has an idea, "Since this is the case, it is inconvenient for Zhong to force it. If the capital leaves Kangzhou quickly, it will only take four days to go back and forth. Why don't Zhong say goodbye and go back to the capital to report today's affairs to Lord Hou?" Report it truthfully. It will take seven days if it is fast, or ten days if it is slow, and you will definitely be able to return with Lord Hou's intention."

"Ah?" The lady didn't expect that Guanshi Zhong would rather travel back and forth than take away Lin Zhilan's horoscope, so she was stunned and said with a smile, "It's the hot season, so why should Guanshi go back and forth?" Ben Lao. Even if I go back and report to the Marquis, I believe I will agree to the eldest lady."

Guanshi Zhong made up his mind, and without waiting for the lady to finish speaking, he cupped his fists and gave the old lady a blessing, then stepped forward respectfully, took the letter of engagement from the lady, carefully put it in his arms, and saluted everyone again After that, he strode out of the room.

"Alas! Alas!" The eldest lady looked at Guanshi Zhong who didn't turn her head back, and said softly twice, but leaned on the chair back a little discouraged, her face full of resignation.

"Forget it, Qinru, let Guanshi Lin go back and report clearly. Getting married to the Marquis of Annan is not a trivial matter, how dare you play tricks. Even if the person whom the Marquis of Annan promised in the end is Xian'er, it's all because Lan'er's marriage has not yet arrived. The old matriarch who will return to the capital for her mother in the future will definitely ask her to find a better marriage for Lan'er!" The old lady said comfortingly to the old lady.

"Lady, Lan'er don't want it!"

"Grandma, Qian'er don't want it!"

At this moment, Suxian and Lin Zhilan shouted in unison.

The old lady looked at Lin Zhilan who hurried out from the back room, and Suxian who was standing in front of her with a blushing face, and couldn't help laughing and said, "What's the matter, it's rare for you two sisters to be in the same heart. Don't want anything? tell me the story!"

Su Xian was about to open her mouth, but Lin Zhilan stepped forward and said, "I don't want Lan'er. I don't want a better marriage, Lan'er is wrong. I don't want to marry if I am not a prince." Although she was shy, but thinking that her life was related to her life, Lin Zhilan had no choice but to encourage her. Gathering enough courage, he groaned for a while, and finally expressed his thoughts.

Compared to Lin Zhilan, Suxian was much more forthright, and said in a quick and quick manner, "Grandmother, don't marry Qian'er to the son of the Marquis of Annan, and don't marry Qian'er!"

When Suxian thought of Murong Haotian's "bad appearance" hiding behind the tree that day, she couldn't resist this marriage from the bottom of her heart.Although living in the body of the ancients, speaking the language of the ancients all day long, and getting used to the living habits of the ancients, the consciousness of the modern people has never faded in the delicate bones.Getting married and having children is a matter of a lifetime, how can one decide one's own future based on a few promises made by others.These days, Suxian has already made a simple plan for the future. If she doesn't really like the person she promises in the future, she will dismiss him even if he cares about the king, father, son, and grandson.

"Hmph! Just kidding, you don't want to marry yet, and others may not want to marry either!" The eldest lady said in a disdainful voice.

The old lady knew that the lady was unhappy, so she didn't care about her slightly demeaning words at this time, she turned her head and shouted to Suxian in a dark voice, "Nonsense, marriage is a big matter, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. How can you let me say that?" To marry or not to marry, besides today's matter is not yet settled, and the Hou Mansion will send news in a few days, when that time comes, no matter who's name the Hou Mansion sends, there should be no objection, just wait for the marriage with peace of mind."

What the old lady said was not only to Suxian, but also to Ling Zhilan.There are two sisters, one insists on marrying the prince, and the other does not want to marry the prince. The two extremes make the old lady torn between two extremes, so she decided to talk about it at this moment. In the future, it is up to the Marquis to decide who will marry into the residence. Everything has nothing to do with others, and the province will complain in the future.
