Chapter 179
What Ji said was completely beyond the distance. Xue Chen had no interest in dealing with Ji's. He looked at her with a smile, and his heart became even more blocked. The old lady put the cup in her hand heavily on the coffee table and said angrily:
"What nonsense? Do you treat the Duke's Mansion as your backyard? Are there any people in the Hou Mansion? Anyone who has the door in his mouth can actually say that they can let their Miss Hou be a concubine for others. Su Jun, we sisters have not met for a long time. I cherish the friendship with you sisters, but what you said today is too much. Not only the Lou family, but also your Yue family. What do you mean to have a few Miss Hou to be a concubine for the prince? What do you think? How easy is it to do? What do you want your Miss Hou to come to my Lou family to do? Will you be able to lift the roof of our Lou family?"
My aunt was stunned by the old lady's scolding. She never expected that the old lady who had been chanting with her and Feng Xiuyan would suddenly make trouble and say these words. She reacted for a while and thought about the old lady's words carefully, and then my aunt suddenly realized:
"Oh, old sister, don't be angry. My daughter-in-law doesn't know how to speak. How could she just let a few Miss Hou be a concubine, one, just one, just let the prince choose one he likes the most. She means that if the prince likes it, it's okay to pick two more, in order to share the child's burden for the young lady, so that the young lady can't bear the burden with all her strength. She..."
Before the aunt could finish her words, the old lady interrupted her and said:
"Okay, okay, the more you talk, the more outrageous you become. I think you don't have to come to the Duke's Mansion to intervene in the future."
The old lady was stunned for a moment, and she reacted for a while and asked, "Old sister, why is this? I am just making a suggestion. Besides, it is also true that the young lady has not had a child for three years. Even if I don't say it, others will say that the crime of childlessness can be divorced. I said this for the sake of the young lady's consideration. Otherwise, how could Miss Hou be a good wife in our Hou's Mansion be willing to be a concubine?"
"Forget it, stop talking. If you are not ashamed, I will be so embarrassed for you. Do you know that it is Miss Hou from your Yue family? If you cannot educate yourself well, why are you doing so many things? If you give birth to children, just let your children be concubines? It's ridiculous."
The old lady said this really heavily, but for the aunt who has that kind of thought, this is really the best way to expose the reality without mercy and prevent her from continuing to pretend.
Sure enough, when the aunt heard the old lady, she became angry and said, "Old sister, I admire you, my sister so much. Why do you speak so mercilessly? I just want to marry the Duke's Mansion. Our Yue family has not been in the capital for so many years. People around me don't know who our Yue family is. So what if there are too many Miss Hou in our Mansion? They are very beautiful and virtuous. They are not like some people who can't give birth to children. They insist on taking the position of a wife and denying the man to take concubines. Old sister, it's not me that although I haven't been back for a long time, no one outside says that your granddaughter-in-law is a bad wife and jealousy will not let men take concubines. We Miss Hou will be better than her any one of us. Don't look down on us. I will bring all the ladies in our Mansion to you. The prince saw it. If you are not moved, you will find me."
The old lady was so angry that she was so angry that she was so close to her these days, and she had gained her courage, so she rushed to her for anger.
"Are you planning to sell your lady? You are also a serious lady. How can you say such shameless words? Bring the lady to the prince to choose? What will your Yue family become? People will respect themselves and later generations will be respectful. You all despise your lady, and you still hope others can hold it?"
The old lady hasn't been so angry for many years, but this person is her real sister and she brought it into the door. At this time, she couldn't tell anyone even if she was angry, but she blamed herself for not considering the character of this girl.
"Old sister, why don't you understand what I mean? Don't be angry, I'm kind enough to share the burden for you, not to make you angry. Let's leave first today and come to see you again. What we said before, you can consider it. Such a daughter-in-law who can't give birth to a child can't be kept. If you keep it in the end, it may ruin your Lou family's descendants! She..."
Before the aunt finished speaking, Xue Chen couldn't help feeling nauseous and leaned aside to retching, but he didn't eat anything in the morning, his stomach was empty and he didn't vomit, but it also killed her life. His discomfortable eyes became wet.
Seeing this, the old lady hurried over and helped her up, and personally gave her a sense of happiness and said:
"Good Sister Chen, I'm not angry. I'll let them go now. The old lady knows you are."
Xue Chen couldn't respond, and the next wave of disgust came up again. The old lady patted her on the back and said, "What's wrong? She was fine before, didn't she eat bad things?"
Xia Zhu came up at the right time and said:
"Report to the old lady, our wife has been wanting to vomit these days and doesn't eat much. She did this morning, so she rushed over. Maybe it hurts her spleen and stomach."
The old lady lowered her eyes and looked at Xue Chen, then looked at Xia Zhu. Aunt and Ji looked at each other, and came up to Liangliang and said, "Oh, I'm just saying here that the young lady can't get pregnant. Why, are you dressing up now?"
The implication is that Xue Chen deliberately vomited and pretended to be pregnant. The old lady glared at them and used a look at Aunt Jin. Aunt Jin brought a few maids in and invited Aunt and Ji out.
Ji walked to the threshold and did not forget to look back at Xue Chen, curled his lips and sneered, thinking that he could really pretend that he couldn't give birth to him, and he wanted to act for them. Bah, a shameless jealous woman!
After being sent out of the Duke's Mansion by Madam Jin, Ji and his aunt got on the same carriage. In the carriage, the aunt was still a little suspicious and asked Ji:
"You said, it's not such a coincidence. When we ask her to take a concubine to the prince, she will get pregnant?"
Ji clasped his lips: "Where is it? According to my wife, 90% of them are pretending. You didn't see that she vomited for a long time and didn't vomit anything? There are few people in our house who are pregnant and are happy? She still wants to pretend in front of me. OK, I want to see if her belly is big after a few months. If it's too big, see how I smell her reputation outside."
The aunt looked at Ji, sighed, and said, "Oh, my old sister is also confused. She can't see through this girl's tricks. She has been deceived by her for three years. It's because I'm not in the capital. No one reminded her that if the prince was married in the capital during those years, maybe the position of the prince's wife is the lady of our Yue family now, and it's Xue Chen's turn to do it?"
Ji kept echoing: "That's right, he is just the daughter of a third-rank official. Now I heard that he is going to be promoted to the second-rank. Didn't the court still mention it to him for the sake of the Duke's Mansion? What are you so arrogant!"
My aunt did not deny what Ji said. After the carriage started walking, she said to Ji thoughtfully:
"Oh, the pressure on our mansion is really greater. There are too many children. If we don't marry a few good families, the family's expenses will almost be unpaid. Judging from the old lady, she will not ask a few girls in our family to come at once. But one or two, as long as I step up the grinding, it should not be a problem. If there are girls in the Lou family, the Lou family's financial resources will definitely not treat them badly. Our mansion will also be a little more abundant. As long as we successfully marry the girl into the Lou family, it will be like the first shot. Other families will inevitably follow suit. When people who propose marriage come to our Yue family, we can truly turn over in the capital."
In fact, this time, Anyang asked to transfer to the capital because he couldn't make it outside. The family's expenses were too high, so the Marquis's salary alone was not enough. So he sold all the land and houses outside and returned to the Yue family's ancestral home in the capital. To put it nicely, he was called back to Beijing to report his work. In fact, he really couldn't make it. If he could make a fortune outside, who would want to come back to live in this small and dilapidated ancestral home in the capital! There were hundreds of people in the family living in the small courtyard with four inches. Miss Hou had too many people, and there were even one room for each person. Some of them were small, and there were three or four living rooms. If they didn't deal with it outside, how could they live there?
"Yes, yes, our Yue family is from the Marquis' Mansion. The serious Marquis. As long as the Lou family is willing to ask our daughter, other families will definitely look up to us. At that time, we will also look up to the noble ladies in the capital. You don't know that when we first returned to Beijing, those ladies heard that you were the legitimate sister of the old lady of the Lou family. They were flattering and flattering to us. But because the Lou family did not provide any help to us, they just gave some rewards to the younger generation. These things can't be taken back for a few days. Over time, we can't come up with decent things. Those snobbish ladies will laugh at our family behind their backs." Ji was filled with righteous indignation, and his expression was changing on his face. It seemed that the Marquis's ladies who joked about her in front of her, and they looked very well gritted.
My aunt didn't know what my daughter-in-law said. She sighed and said, "Oh, I'm so proud of my face. If I could put my face a little bit and talk to my old lady sister, she wouldn't leave me alone."
Ji did not agree: "No, old lady, think about it, if you speak to the old lady, who do she treat us as? It's not about the few taels of silver she gave temporarily. We are looking for big things. At least your chance to speak cannot be used to ask for money. If you are about to speak, you will ask for a few official positions from the old lady, and there are many brothers in our mansion. If you all go to be officials, then our Yue family will be called Guangyao's family. At that time, are you still afraid of not having money to enter? In short, you can't lose your own value, let the old lady look down on you and treat you as a beggar."
My aunt also agreed with my daughter-in-law and nodded and said:
"You are right. It's really too expensive to ask for money. Since I'm asking for something to make money, I've got to know that Lou's family has many industries in the hands of Xue Chen, and she has many shops in her hands. I believe that the lady Xue Chen is so powerful. She has many shops in the capital at a young age. You said that if I go to ask the old lady for a few shops to make money, it shouldn't be considered a price loss. It's just a little profit to make our house live. You don't know that people around these days have rebelled and the New Year is coming soon. If you want to make new clothes, new jewelry, and buy New Year's goods, you have to pay for everything. It's always better to have a few shops to support it."
After thinking about it, Ji said, "Yes, the New Year will be over soon. It's time to finish it. Why don't you mention it to the old lady next time? It's better to have a ready-to-wear shop, gold and silver jewelry shop. This kind of shop is the most profitable. It's better to sell it for a little more silver. It's better to have two restaurants to play with. Last time, our brother Li said he would use the money to open a restaurant with my friends. After coming here, he would run it for him. His mother died early and was closest to us."
“…”
Along the way, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were discussing how many shops they wanted from the Lou family. After they came, the shop would have a yearly income, how many official positions could they buy with this income, and how much could their family be able to survive. As they went on, they were happy, as if they had already obtained the money and official positions.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Yue's family have not had such a happy chat for a long time. When they were at the border, although Anyang Hou was named a marquis, he had no money in his hand. Even the local gentry was unwilling to interact with him. He was as smart as a person and refused to give face to borrow money. Anyang Hou had no face in the local area, so he got a relationship in Beijing and got a job back to Beijing to report his job. Because he was anxious to come back, he had no good positions at all. He just had a fifth-rank errand job in the Ministry of Personnel, without power or power. However, the days in the capital were sadder than the border. No matter what the border was, the circle was so big. Although the women who were in contact were also like the official wife, the food and clothing cost was similar. There was no particularly good one, but the capital was different. They were all the officials of the first-rank 2nd-rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank
The palace, at least they are all rich and frugal. What are the things they take out? What are they not of this origin or that origin? One of them is my jade, and the other one says my agate... Then they ask them, and they all say that their homes as marquises in the border are definitely gold and silver, and they all hold them like this, making them embarrassed to say that they actually have nothing. In order not to lose face, these days, Ji sent people to Liulichang to buy a lot of fake goods. Just to deal with socializing with the officials and wives, they took it out and show it out. Needless to say, the price is too high, because it will make people take it over and pass it on. Others will reveal it when they see it, but they can't say the price is too low, too low, and people look down on them even more. Therefore, every time they attend these occasions, Ji is worried, for fear of exposing it on the spot.
If the old lady could ask for a few decent shops, she had money in her hands and would definitely buy some treasures that would blind everyone's attention and show off. As she thought about it, Ji couldn't help but feel excited.
