concubines are respected

Chapter 9 The Battle of Words
When everyone saw Suxian appearing here, they had different expressions on their faces, and the smile on their lips became colder, it seemed that Suxian's appearance was extremely inappropriate.

"What are you doing here?" Seeing Suxian coming, Lin Yinglu got angry, stepped forward to block Suxian, and shouted in a rather stiff tone.

Lin Zhilan didn't say anything, she only frowned slightly, her eyes looked at Mama Hu intentionally or unintentionally.A flash of astonishment flashed across Mama Hu's face, she got Lin Zhilan's dark gaze, she stepped forward lightly, with a fake smile on her face, she said to Suxian, "Second Miss is here at this time, what order do you have?" Although The words were obviously respectful, but the demeanor was obviously extremely disrespectful to him, and even the most basic blessings were omitted.

"Hehe, Mama Hu is worrying too much. I just wandered around. Where did I get the order?" Suxian glanced at Mama Hu, with a smile on her face like a spring, completely ignoring Lin Yinglu who was standing in front of her, and walked sideways from the others. Going around, I walked straight to the bluestone round table where the ornament box was placed, "I was just passing by the garden at first, I didn't want it to be so busy here, but I realized that it was the sisters who were picking the ornaments here, so Suxian came here to take a look casually out of curiosity. Look."

As she said that, Suxian casually picked up the golden silk ruby ​​in one of the boxes and played with it casually, ignoring everyone's dissatisfied eyes, and said to herself, "Tsk tsk tsk, these jewels are very precious. Exquisite, but the price must be high, the shopkeeper sent so many rare treasures for the sisters to choose from, it seems that they are planning to empty out the money the sisters have saved so hard before they are willing to give up, ha ha. "

The shopkeeper didn't recognize Suxian, just now he heard Hu's mother calling her the second miss, and immediately understood that the neatly dressed woman with delicate features in front of her was the second miss of the mansion.When I was in the shop just now, someone sent by Da Furen sent a message to send the best jewelry in the shop to the Lin Mansion for the young ladies to choose, and the required silver bills will be settled by the accounting office. I knew that there was a big deal, so I went Bring all the best beadwork in the store.If the person in front of him is the second young lady of the mansion, then he is naturally his client, so there is no reason not to hold her in high regard.

"Hehe, the second lady was joking. The eldest lady of the Lin family dotes on the young ladies in the mansion very tightly. She passed on the small ones early in the morning, and sent good items for the young ladies to choose. As for the money, the accountant will pay for it. The little ones dare not be negligent, and naturally they dare not hide their secrets, and hurry up to present the good things." As he spoke, the shopkeeper took a step forward with a smile, and said respectfully, "Based on the identification of the opal by the second young lady just now, I am also an expert, so why not pick something and see if there is something that catches your eye?"

"Oh? Is the money paid out of the tent?" Suxian responded lightly pretending not to know, and at the same time turned around and glanced at her spirit eyes, as if she had just seen Mr. Guo from the tent, she chuckled, "Hehe, it turns out that Mr. Guo also Here, I think what the shopkeeper said is true."

Mr. Guo forced a smile, clasped his fists and said in a respectful voice, "The shopkeeper is right. It will be the master's birthday soon, and the ladies should also choose some decorations, so the lady ordered today's ladies to choose decorations by the tent Housing unified expenditure.

"Mother is really virtuous and fair. No matter whether she is a daughter-in-law or a daughter-in-law, she treats her equally. No wonder all the noble ladies in Kangzhou look up to her mother. Suxian would like to thank mother for her kindness." Suxian pretended to face Yulan There was a deep blessing in Yuan's direction, with a sweet smile on his face.

Seeing Mama Hu's embarrassed smiling face, with a look of hesitation, Cui Ya who was beside her felt very happy, and she had already smiled in her heart, but her face was deliberately tight, for fear of accidentally laughing out loud, Faint in front of others.

Mother Hu couldn't speak, but Lin Yinglu's forehead felt hot with anger. In the past two years, when has Suxian been used for the distribution of ornaments in the mansion? Okay, I dare not show my face at all, let alone take the initiative to ask for it with such a calm face today.Is this girl crazy, forgetting her aunt's lowly status, and really think of herself as the second young lady who is equal to everyone?
"Lin Suxian, what are you? You are also worthy of choosing accessories. Don't forget your identity!" Lin Yinglu yelled angrily. As the figure swayed, trembling and swaying slightly, it became more and more conspicuous.

"My identity?" The smile on Suxian's face was slightly restrained, and there was no sullen look between her brows. She turned around and looked up and down at Lin Yinglu pretending to be surprised, and said in a low voice, "Sister, what do you mean by this, and what is my identity?" Already?" As soon as the words were finished, before Lin Yinglu continued to speak, she immediately pretended to be stunned and said, "Oh, I understand, what the third sister means is that I am a concubine, so I am not worthy of choosing accessories here?"

Saying that, Suxian continued to smile lightly on her face, pretending to be humble and said to herself, "Third sister is right, there is always a difference between concubine and concubines, being a concubine is indeed not as honorable as being a concubine, if you want to Comparing it, I really feel ashamed of myself..."

As she spoke, Suxian paused for a while, raised her head and blinked her black eyes at Lin Yinglu, showing two rows of jade-clean white teeth, and said with a smile, "However, Third Sister seems to have forgotten her identity, if I say That's right, you and Fourth Sister are also concubine daughters, if you have to distinguish between superiority and inferiority, Third Sister, you probably shouldn't stand here and point fingers, right?"

"You, you!" Lin Ying flushed with anger, pointing at Lin Suxian and shouted angrily, "You are talking nonsense, you know that what I am talking about is not the distinction between the son and the son, but you just talk about it to confuse the public, when did you talk about it here? Are you arrogant, bitch?"

"Isn't it?" Suxian was not annoyed, but her tone became a lot tougher. She stepped forward and looked at Lin Yinglu, who was about the same height as her, and said, "Could it be that besides the distinction between concubine and concubine, there are other Is there a difference? Forget it, since the third sister wants to be more serious about her status, I don't have to choose, but the third sister's gold powder and pearl hairpin can't be chosen arbitrarily, even if it is worn in the bun, it is not qualified as a concubine I have it. It’s better to take it off and return it to the shopkeeper. If it is accidentally damaged, it will be bad if you waste money.”

Saying that, Suxian raised her hand involuntarily to take off the pearl hairpin from Lin Yinglu's hair, and by the way took the mutton fat jade bracelet from Lin Ruxue's hand beside her, turned around and put it in the red lacquer brocade box on the table, and said to her The shopkeeper said with an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry to make the shopkeeper laugh. It's better for my elder sister to choose these beads, and we'll be content to feast our eyes on them."

"This... this..." The shopkeeper suddenly panicked, not knowing what to say, and turned to look at Mama Hu asking for help.

"Second miss, that's not what third miss said. I think you misunderstood..." Madam Hu had seen Suxian's power in the eldest lady's room today. Every sentence made sense, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and comfort him.

When Lin Yinglu saw Mama Hu speak for her, she became more and more arrogant, and said angrily, "Mama Hu is right, I didn't mean it in the first place. Although you bear the title of the second miss of the Lin family, who I don't know where your aunt comes from..."

Before Lin Yinglu finished speaking, Suxian's face turned cold, and the cold air appeared in her spiritual eyes, and she said in a deep voice, "What's wrong with my aunt? Although my aunt has passed away, she was officially married by her father as a noble concubine. The one who came here is not inferior to the third aunt's identity."

"You, you! My aunt is also a noble concubine, and she gave birth to the second brother for the Lin family. How can she be compared with your humble aunt!" Lin Yinglu roared angrily.

"What about the noble concubine?" The more angry Lin Yinglu became, the more indifferent Suxian became, and he said unhurriedly, "According to the official media laws of the Da'an Dynasty, if you enter the door as a noble concubine, even if you have not given birth Male heirs are still respected as noble concubines, and their status is second only to that of the main family. Those who enter the door as good concubines, if they have children, they can obey the wishes of their husbands, regardless of whether they are promoted as noble concubines. Otherwise, it is impossible to compete for noble Concubine. This is exactly why people in the mansion call your aunt the third aunt and my aunt the second wife."

There was a slight smile on the corner of Suxian's lips, looking at Lin Yinglu with a blue face, she stretched her eyebrows and continued calmly, "Third sister has lived in the mansion for more than ten years, so it's possible that she didn't even understand the rules? Leaving aside whether you are a concubine or not, according to the order of entry, the third aunt should also respect the second wife. At this time, you deliberately emphasize the status of the aunts in front of outsiders. Embarrassed face?"

While talking, Suxian quickly searched the memory of the deity in her mind, and suddenly found that the deity was not stupid and ignorant of the outside world, but knew all kinds of laws of Daan.It can be seen that all the bullying in the mansion these years is related to the fact that the deity is too cowardly and naturally bored.

Although Suxian's tone of voice is not high, but the words are sharp and the words hit the point. For a while, the arrogant and rude Lin Yinglu choked for a long time, unable to utter a word, only her face was blue and white, and the soft silk in her hand was covered with tears. Twisted into knots, crumpled like pickles.

All of a sudden, the smell of gunpowder in the small garden became more and more intense. Seeing that Suxian became so articulate overnight, Mama Hu was shocked.And Mr. Guo, the accountant who is holding this book and standing on the side watching the tigers fighting, watched with great interest as the two competed in words. He will not see this second lady who is usually weak and timid. The meaning of admiration.

Compared with Lin Yinglu, the fourth lady, Lin Ruxue, has a much more honest temperament, and usually sympathizes with Suxian's situation, and what Suxian said today is not beyond the mark, so she didn't intervene, but stepped aside The first self-serving arranging the corners of the clothes embroidered with gold silk, completely out of it.

Among them, only the eldest lady Lin Zhilan showed a complacent expression, the dispute between Ren Suxian and Ren Suxian was just a dispute between lowly concubine daughters in her eyes.As far as her honorable daughter-in-law status is concerned, she is naturally happy to see her success. No matter who takes the upper hand, it will not hinder her. Looking down at the posture of overlooking.

The scene was at a stalemate. After a brief astonishment, Mother Hu quickly came to her senses. Although the third aunt is only a concubine, she is the old lady's distant nephew. If the third lady is too embarrassed today, the old lady will return to the house in the future Maybe the third aunt will blow some bad wind in front of the old lady again.The current mess still needs someone to clean it up.

"Hehe, please let this old slave speak boldly. Today, the eldest lady invited the shopkeeper of Yuzhenzhai to personally deliver the goods to the door. Let’s get down to business, choose your favorite accessories to be serious.” Hu’s mother smiled and mixed mud on both sides.

"What Mama Hu said is that the sisters in the mansion, regardless of the concubines, respect the aunt, and the mother treats us equally. After such a famous and noble family, the mother can only be the aunt, and even if the biological one can only be called the aunt. If the third sister cares too much, twists the status of being a child, and makes the master and servant indistinguishable, wouldn't it be a shame? A mother's heart of love!"

Suxian smiled softly, resisting the disgusting feeling, and insincerely praised the hypocritical lady for a while, and the old mother Hu who listened directly smiled, but Lin Yinglu's expression changed from the gloomy anger just now to a strong one. uneasy.
