Hearing this, Song Qian scolded her in a cold voice: "You are a very high-spirited girl. Why don't you go back to the house later, and I will tell my mother that you can stay here and continue to enjoy your happiness!"
Caiping's face turned pale and she quickly knelt down at her feet, "Isn't this good for the girl? If the girl wants to drive me away, why not kill me..."
There is no such thing as dowry in concubines, but rules are dead and people are alive.
Song Qian was from a high background, and she was wronged to marry Wei Shiyuan as a concubine, so she had all kinds of dowry and betrothal gifts.
Caiping was Song Qian's dowry girl. If she was left behind before leaving the palace, not to mention that the other master would not want her, would the mansion be able to accommodate her?
Song Qian looked at her sideways, "Do you think that if I become someone's concubine, I will lose my future and will have no good life in the future?"
Of course Caiping knew that her girl was not without means, she just looked down on the Wei family.
"How could it be possible? Girls, you are from such a background and have never seen anything in the world. How could you not be able to fight against Mrs. Wei Er, whose natal family is so miserable?"
Song Qian's complexion improved a lot after hearing what Caiping said. Of course she cared about Lin's existence in her heart, but she never took her to heart.
When I decided to be a good concubine, I made a plan to correct her in the future.
Therefore, Lin must be dealt with!
"It's good that you know. Be alert when the time comes and don't hold me back!"
Caiping blinked and quickly agreed: "Yes, all slaves know it!"
*****
Suochun Pavilion.
Aunt Wen saw that it was getting late, so she asked someone to ask Wei Shiyuan if he was back and if he came to Suochun Pavilion.
The person who answered said that Wei Shiyuan went to the main courtyard.
"Then don't wait any longer. Bring the young master over and serve the meal."
Aunt Wen is not the kind of person who puts all her thoughts on love and love. She has a business in hand. In her opinion, making money is very important. Men will change their minds, but the money they earn will not.
As long as there is money, the two of them can have enough food and clothing without having to worry about being treated harshly.
If it weren't for Brother Ran to get rid of her business status and have a better future, she might not have entered the Wei Mansion.
After dinner, Aunt Wen coaxed Wei Ran to sleep, and then Aunt Huang came.
"I'm coming over right now. I won't delay my sister's rest, right?"
Aunt Huang is Wei Shiyuan's first wife. She is about the same age as the second wife and a few years older than Wen Yanniang.
Her appearance was good, and she had a childhood relationship with Wei Shiyuan, so no servant in the second room dared to look at her. During this period of time, she has been provided with good food, rice and medicine, and she has regained some of her energy. Although she is not as good as Aunt Wen, she can still be called a beauty.
"Sister Huang, come in quickly."
The two of them entered the room and sat down. Wen Yuniang asked someone to serve tea, "Sister, why are you free to come here now?"
Huang Sha'er sighed faintly, "I'm guarding the yard all by myself. It's not like you have Brother Ran by your side. I don't have time to talk about anything. I just have nothing to do and come here to sit with you."
Wen Yuniang was somewhat sympathetic to her experience, but she did not dare to take it lightly. She smiled when she heard this and said, "Sister is still young. If she takes good care of her body, she may not be unable to have one or two children."
"I'm afraid my body has been damaged to the core, and I don't dare to count on my heirs. However, this concubine and concubine are the most chaotic. People say that you should not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others, but brother... Being so favored by the old lady, the second lady is very cruel, my sister cannot take it lightly!"
These words are somewhat superficial, but Aunt Huang was deeply deceived and persecuted by the Second Madam, so it is not surprising that she said this with a clear stance.
Wen Yuniang was not pretentious, and said: "Madam has been favored by the master for many years, but it is very difficult for her to suddenly accept us as mother and son. Normally, I would not dare to get in front of madam. I only ask her to keep her eyes open, and don't To cause trouble for our mother and son."
"You take it for granted. Back then, I was just a common-in-law girl, so I became a thorn in her side. Now that you are favored and have a son, you can't escape just by seeking stability."
Wen Yuniang said thoughtfully: "What my sister said is true. I am also worried, but that good concubine is about to enter the house. Madam will be afraid for a while and has no intention of causing trouble for our mother and son. I am curious, considering that Miss Song With such a good background, why would you want to be a concubine?"
Huang Sha'er didn't shy away from anything, narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "A good concubine can be corrected, so how do we know her plans?"
Wen Yuniang's yard was fairly tight and she was not afraid that what the two said would get out. She said, "What can a girl in her early twenties do? Our wife is not someone to be trifled with."
The second lady's scheming is quite deep.
"That's not necessarily true. The battles between concubines and concubines in this big family are also bloody. They are no worse than men in the officialdom. Even in the family of teenage girls, they are all human beings!"
When Huang Shaer said this, she changed the topic, "As for women, if they can get the understanding of their husbands, they can survive. If not, I will be really sad. The master and the second lady have a rift. The old lady seems to I am also quite dissatisfied with the second lady... If Miss Song enters the house at this time, maybe she can win the favor of the old lady and the master at the same time? "
When Wen Yuniang heard this, she thought about it twice in her heart. Does this mean that the old lady really dislikes the second lady?
"No matter what this person thinks, as long as she doesn't come to harm me and the child, I have no intention of fighting with her."
"The matter is not yet here, I just want to remind you so that you don't make a mistake and regret it. If she is honest, then that's it. If she has a bad intention, you have to pay more attention."
After talking for a long time, Huang Shaer took the tea to moisten his throat. After tasting it carefully, he asked: "Is this tea rewarded by the old lady?"
"How does sister know?" Wen Yuniang was a little surprised, "This tea was indeed rewarded by me."
Wei Ran was very liked by the old lady. Wen Yuniang took the child there every time and was rewarded every time.
Huang Shaer smiled and said: "I have been in the mansion since I was a child. I used to serve the old lady, so I naturally know what kind of tea the old lady is used to drinking. However, I wonder if this year's tea is a little different. The tea here is different from the tea here. The tea is obviously the same kind, but the taste is slightly different, maybe it’s not from the same batch.”
If there are any good things from the old lady, they will usually give each room a share. The second lady also has tea given by the old lady.
Aunt Wen smiled and said, "I borrowed the child's advantage."
Huang Shaer just mentioned it casually, not caring whether he got tea or not, and then talked about something else.
The two chatted for a while, and then Huang Shaer got up and went back.
Xianglan closed the door and said doubtfully: "This Aunt Huang is really coming and going like a storm. Could it be that she really has nothing to do?"
"Everything she said, she asked me to be careful and not to fall into the second lady's way. She also mentioned Song Qian's entry into the house. Either she was instigating me to deal with the second lady, or she wanted to win over me, so as not to The second lady was fighting with Song Qian, and she and I accidentally became fish in the pond."
"I think the latter is more likely."
Aunt Wen nodded, "I think so too."
Xianglan came over to pack things and was about to remove all the tea cups. Aunt Wen's eyes moved and she said, "Wait a minute."
"Auntie, what's wrong?"
"Just now, Aunt Huang said that the taste of this tea is different from the second lady's. Could it be that my tea has been tampered with?"
Xianglan was startled, and quickly pulled out the silver hairpin on her head to test it, but found that the silver hairpin did not turn black, "Maybe it's like Aunt Huang said, and it's not related to a batch of tea, right?"
Aunt Wen acted cautiously and said, "It's not poisonous, but it doesn't mean there's nothing wrong with the tea. Separate some tea leaves and go to Jirentang to see the doctor in charge."
"Yes, I will go tomorrow!"
The next day, Xianglan took out some tea leaves from the tea can, wrapped some in paper, and left the house to Jirentang.
The doctor in charge of Jirentang is an acquaintance of the Wen family.
He took the tea in the paper bag and smelled it carefully for a long time, then shook his head and said, "There is nothing wrong with your tea."
