Concubine Raiders

The eldest wife got out of the carriage in a hurry. Seeing that her face was pale and her eyes were swollen, she knew that yuanniang was in a bad condition. "Two mothers came to Zhongqin's house and said," Miss Wu, Miss 10 and Niang 11 are invited to visit Zhongqin's mansion five days later. "

The old lady stopped suddenly, and hang's mother almost hit her.

"Zhong Qin Bo Fu Gan family?" The old lady's eyes were sharp, "enjoying spring?"

Hang's mother quickly nodded: "it was sent by the seventh miss of the Gan family. Please be very sincere. The eldest grandmother took the post."

"Where's the granny?" The first lady's voice was a little harsh.

"In the main room." Hang's mother said with a smile, "the eldest grandmother has made a list of the dowries of several young ladies. She is just waiting for you to come back and discuss what to buy!"

The first lady, with a slight jaw, walked into the room quickly.

The eldest grandmother was busy welcoming her: "mother, auntie, grandma, she..."

Tears came out of the corner of her eyes: "false alarm I don't want to talk about it much.

"That's good." "I have two hundred year old Polygonum multiflorum in my dowry, or I will send it to my aunt to mend my body?"

The eldest lady thought for a moment and said, "it's OK. I can't get such a good thing for a while

The eldest grandmother asked Hang's mother to get it. She helped her to sit on the big Kang near the window in the west room. Then she took the tea from the servant girls and gave it to her in person.

The old lady took a sip of tea and said, "where's the master?"

Granny said with a smile, "I was dragged to drink by my classmates. He also told the boy outside to leave the door for him at night

The old lady's face was livid, and the tea cup in her hand was shaking.

The granny held her voice and was silent and did not dare to say more.

After a long time, the old lady's face slowly softened.

"It's said that the seventh lady of Gan's family in Zhongqin's mansion has given five niangs an invitation to invite them to enjoy spring?"

The granny answered "yes" and said with a smile, "I'm waiting for my mother to come back and make up my mind."

"Let them go." The big lady's expression is light, suddenly changed the topic, "I asked you to buy them dowry, how do you do?"

Granny took a thick list from her sleeve and said, "it was drawn up when I was free. What do you think?"

The eldest lady looked very carefully. However, just after reading a few lines, a servant girl said, "madam, the master has sent someone to ask if you have come back. If I come back, I'd like to ask my aunt what's the matter with her? "

After hearing this, the old lady softened up and said, "I'm back to the old master. It's nothing."

The servant girl went away in response.

The first lady handed the list to the granny: "you think it's very thoughtful, so you can buy it according to the list you made. If you don't have enough money, a little more will do. It's been done in the last two days. "

It doesn't matter if I buy it two days ago. Why today

He thought of her mother-in-law's appearance when she came back, and felt something in her heart.

Granny laughed and said "yes".

The first lady told her grandmother, "I'll ask my mother hang to do something for me."

The eldest grandmother should be "yes". When Hang's mother took the Polygonum multiflorum, she would smile and say, "if you have anything, just tell her to be."

The eldest lady gave the Polygonum multiflorum to Xu's mother: "send it to Auntie and grandma."

Xu's mother went away.

The eldest lady asked the eldest grandmother to get the almanac. As she turned through the calendar, she told her mother, "go to the house of Mr. Huang Ren and Huang in the Ministry of punishment, and say that the date of employment will be set at..." Then he turned to the ninth day of March It's the ninth day of March. "

Both Granny and hang's mother were surprised.

Is it too urgent to leave the meeting for less than nine days.

If the granny had doubts just now, I'm sure.

She did not dare to ask more questions and said with a smile, "then I have to prepare."

On the day of employment, the woman will entertain the man and have a meal.

Hang's mother said congratulations to the eldest wife, and then she went with a smile.

The eldest lady did not show any joy. Instead, she showed a trace of fatigue: "we just moved in, and everything is new. We will hang two red lanterns at the door. As for the banquet, everything is sold in Yanjing. If you pick up the expensive one and let the lady on the stove do it, it's not impossible. "

Granny nodded with a smile: "I'm going to arrange it."

"Well," she said, "you'll go to Mrs. Wang's house early tomorrow morning and ask her to be our matchmaker! It's better to be sincere and invite her in. "

Granny should, big wife this just called coral and jadeite a few come in to dress for her. The granny retired wisely.

In the evening, we all know that the eldest wife betrothed Wu Niang to Mr. Qian.

Wu Niang was pale.Lagerstroemia indica and Asteraceae stand on one side and dare not speak.

Eleven Niang know not from in the heart sigh.

It seems that the prince of the Duke of Mao has a lot of problems?

Holly is serving her to wash her feet, and she said with a smile: "I heard that grandma bought the dowry back, full of a large half of the room."

Eleven Niang says with a smile: "be to pile up a room, also top thin a few silver notes."

"That's true." With a smile, Dongqing took a dry handkerchief and wiped her feet again. Then she took the silk stockings and put them on her. "You said, if Mr. Qian was nominated for the golden list, wouldn't there be a Jinshi uncle in our family?"

The provincial examination of Dazhou is held in October every year. It will be held in the middle of March of the next year, and the palace examination will be held on the first day of April.

Amber just came in with her clothes in her hand and said with a smile, "there are so many people taking part in the examination this year."

Dongqing nodded: "our uncle, the fourth uncle of the second room, and rich young master If they all win, then our family will be a three Jinshi

Amber covered his mouth and laughed: "our family has already had three Jinshi. Father and son are the same as Jinshi. It's not right, uncle three Jinshi? I can't say that Oh, there are so many Jinshi in our family

Everyone was laughing.

the old master over there frowned: "is it too fast? It's not a time to get married. Let's wait until May. "

"There are times when the master is confused." The eldest lady said with a smile, "when the Jinshi of the new subject come out in May, can we climb this marriage or do we have to talk about it?"

The eldest master didn't agree: "if the surname Qian is so short-sighted, it's OK to have this marriage."

"Look at you. Does face matter, or does the future of your daughter matter? " The big lady said, "I has the final say." Then he said, "I have something to discuss with you." The eldest lady said with a smile, "you know, the family of Qian is poor. I'm afraid that Wu Niang will go through the hardship and want to give her one thousand Liang silver of pressed box money. What do you think?"

Seeing the big lady so generous, the master was naturally very happy and nodded: "good, good, good."

on the ninth day of the ninth day of the lunar new year, Mrs. Huang went to the door early in the morning with silver ingots, Ruyi Jinchai, eight color fruits and tea, and sat down to drink a cup of tea. Wang Fu, the matchmaker of the Luo family, arrived in the morning.

Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Wu, who are accompanied by granny, give the red wine to Mrs. Jin's family.

During this period, he mentioned the residence of Mr. Qian He rented a two room apartment next to the Imperial College, but he couldn't find a house for a while. Only after may can we discuss the date of marriage. Just at that time, I finished the exam and had a double happiness. "

The eldest wife thought that if Mr. Qian really won the Jinshi exam, he would have to take the examination of the common good luck scholar. If he got the common scholar again, he would have to stay in Yanjing for another three years. If you don't pass the exam, you have to be absent in Yanjing. If it's fast, we can get a job in July and August. If it's slow, I'm afraid it won't be until next spring.

She said with a smile, "May is faster too. It's better to wait until September to see if there are any good days."

It is common for a large family to say marriage for one and a half years, and it is also common for four or five years. Mrs. Huang was very satisfied to get such a sentence from the Luo family, and she was busy smiling.

Wu Niang's marriage was settled.

The next day, the granny divided the fruits and tea brought by Mr. Qian, and sent one to the second and the third.

When the second and third wives found out, they all came to the door to congratulate them.

Wu Niang hid in the house.

Ten Niang and eleven Niang came out to salute the elders.

Everyone went to Wuniang with a smile. Wu Niang stood there shyly and did not speak. However, eleven Niang remembered the sound of broken porcelain that she heard last night.

The second wife took Wu Niang's hand and said with a smile, "the fifth lady of our family is lucky. She married a whole family as soon as she got married. In the future, I will be able to earn a phoenix crown and come back. "

The third wife also said with a smile: "this is also the blessing of sister-in-law."

The eldest lady laughed. Seeing Wu Niang's face flushed quickly, she asked everyone to go to her room with a smile.

Everyone sat down to have tea and chat. After lunch, they began to spread their cards and gossip. Seven Niang and eleven Niang accompanied each other to watch the cards, while ten Niang sat down and knocked melon seeds.

After a few laps, Qi Niang couldn't sit still. She winked at eleven Niang, and then said to the second wife, "Niang, we want to see the fifth elder sister."

The second wife was making a big three yuan. She waved her hand: "go, go, so as not to disturb me here."

Seven Niang smile ground should, pull 11 Niang's hand, Yang Yang lower jaw toward ten Niang.

It means to ask if she will go.

According to the previous, ten Niang is also ignore, this time unexpectedly put the melon seed in the hand: "mother, we also go to see five elder sister."

The eldest lady looked up at her and saw seven Niang holding eleven Niang and nodding.

Three people stand up to go, as early as one side to stay impatient five ye and six Ye immediately got up and followed them: "Niang, we also go to see five elder sister." Said, ran to them in front of, make seven elder sister giggle straight.The third wife is busy to command nearby servant girl: "follow quickly."

Seven Niang sees her to cover mouth to smile, five Niang raises a head, the face is not a bit happy. But let seven Niang embarrassed: "five elder sister, Niang they are playing cards, we come to you to have a rest."

Five Niang reluctantly showed a smile, called crape myrtle to give them tea.

Seven Niang and eleven Niang sit down, five ye and six Ye are scurrying around the house.

Sui'er followed him, for a while, he said, "be careful not to knock down the pen holder on the miss's desk", and another time he said "be careful not to knock down the flower table of Miss". He said the temper of five masters, and raised his foot and kicked it in sui'er's chest: "little whore, who do you say?"
