When Youshi heard Ping'er say that there was no rush, she secretly criticized her. She was already twenty years old and had not yet consummated her marriage. It was strange that she was not in a hurry. Who would believe this? She didn't believe it anyway.
Youshi said: "There are no elders in our house, and you are all young, so you can't save face. How can I do it if I don't urge you? Brother Cong is the only man in the family, and the population is small. We still need you to spread your wings. This is It's a major event in our family." Jia Cong said: "What my sister-in-law said is that I am also considering this matter. I plan to consummate the marriage with Heping'er in a few days. I have made her wait for so many years, and I feel a little bit indebted to her." Ping'er. When I heard what Jia Cong said, I felt a little moved.
She was originally a maidservant, but after following Jia Cong, she helped him manage his family business and took charge of the family's power. Now she is in charge of the entire Ningguo Mansion and has the real power.
If a woman can achieve her current status, what else can she be dissatisfied with? If Jia Cong hadn't asked her to come over, she would still be Sister Feng's follower. Although she is better than ordinary maids, how can she compare with herself now.
Moreover, Jia Cong is very kind to himself and keeps all good things for himself. My treatment is better than that of Sister Feng, better than the eldest wife and the second wife. My food and accommodation are similar to those of the old lady.
After following Sister Feng for so many years, I know Sister Feng’s family background very well. As for Sister Feng's clothes and jewelry, they are really not as much as what Jia Cong has given her over the years. In terms of price, they cannot compare with her own. She has made more than a dozen sets of mink fur coats and fox fur coats in the past few years.
There are several sets of bracelets, necklaces, and anklets made of dong beads. Of the several boxes of jewelry that Jia Cong brought back, except for a few pieces for each person, the rest are in his own inner treasury, and he can take them with him as he pleases, no different from his own.
Jia Cong also gave himself ten thousand taels of silver as his dowry, which was really good for him. To put it bluntly, even the ladies from wealthy families are not as rich as me, nor are they as decent as me.
I am really satisfied now. Besides, Jia Cong will be sixteen soon. He will naturally consummate his marriage by then. I have been waiting for so many years. Is there still a few days left?
"Young Master Hou said this, and you are out of touch. We are a family. Being able to follow Mr. Hou in this life is my greatest blessing. Besides, Mr. Hou will be sixteen years old soon. Now he is in the period of filial piety, so it is better to wait. Wait, so that no one will talk about it." Jia Cong said with a smile: "Then let's wait until the Hundred Days Festival is over before we can consummate the marriage, so as to prevent others from gossiping. That's what I originally planned." Ping'er said, "Then Just listen to the Marquis, everything is decided by the Marquis." Youshi said: "That's fine. Brother Cong has his own plans, and my sister-in-law won't say anything. In a few days, my old lady will come with her two sisters. Look at me, let me talk to Brother Cong first." Jia Cong said: "Although we are a wealthy family, our relatives still have to move around. When people come, we will treat them well and help them if they have difficulties. , Sister-in-law can make her own decisions, just go to the warehouse to withdraw whatever you need." Hearing this, Youshi said with a smile: "Then sister-in-law, I would like to thank Brother Cong first. Since my father passed away, my mother-in-law has brought two Living as a little sister, there are no men in the family, and she is not good at running the business, so life becomes more and more unsatisfactory." The situation of You's natal family has been known to others.
After You's ex-husband died, she took her two daughters and married You's father, the second sister You and the third sister You.
Later, You's father died again, and Mrs. You became a widow again, living with her two daughters.
You Lao Niang is not good at managing things either. The mother and daughter are left with nothing. The family situation is getting worse and worse, and they are becoming more and more poor and helpless.
In the current society, it is really difficult for a middle-aged woman with no financial resources to live with two girls.
In desperation, Mrs. You could only turn her attention to her unrelated eldest daughter, Youshi, and rely on her help to survive.
At Jia Jing's funeral, mother and daughter also came to pay their respects. Second sister You and third sister You, and Jia Cong also met them. They were indeed rare beauties.
In terms of beauty alone, the appearance of the two sisters is comparable to Qingwen. If they weren't related to the Jia family, no one would dare to provoke them, and the fate of the three women would be even more tragic.
This is the benefit of having a background. No matter how poor you are, most people don't dare to mess with you easily. Jia Cong said: "It is indeed not easy for orphans and widowed mothers to live, and it is even more difficult for both of them to be women. Since they are my sister-in-law's natal family, they are having a hard time, and my sister-in-law's face is not good-looking, so please help if you can." With our family background, there will be no problem even if we raise them. My sister-in-law can make her own decision on this matter. I have no problem here. If I need money or things, I can just withdraw them directly." Jia Cong's attitude made You very happy, although Mrs. You and two younger sisters, who are not related to him by blood, but after all, they are the women his father married, his stepmother.
Now that his father has passed away, Mrs. You and his three mothers are his natal family and the only natal family.
Even for the sake of his father, he can't ignore them. In that case, even the neighbors will look down on him and make irresponsible remarks about him.
When Jia Zhen was here in the past, she didn't have much authority. She only used her private house and dowry to supplement the three mothers.
After Jia Cong took over the Ningguo Mansion, he was very kind to himself and had more money than before.
In addition, I want to introduce my two younger sisters to Jia Cong, so I can help You Lao Niang a little more. Now that he has Jia Cong's words and recognizes this relative, he can help them openly, and he no longer has to use his private room.
I have to admit, this brother-in-law is really grand. I have lived in Ningguo Mansion for more than ten years, and I have seen a lot of wealthy people. I have never seen such a grand person as Brother Xiang Cong.
Not only is he generous to the people around him, he is generous to his sisters, but he is equally generous to his sister-in-law.
If the second sister and the third sister can follow him, they will not only consolidate their status, but also live a good life. The second sister and the third sister have grown up in the past few years, and their appearance is even better than before. Compared with Qingwen, they are not inferior at all, even compared to the little goblin Rong Ge's daughter-in-law, they are not inferior at all.
When Brother Cong saw them, if he said he was not moved, he really didn't believe that this matter would be possible.
Youshi thanked her again and left happily. Ping'er looked at Youshi's leaving figure and said leisurely: "It seems that the eldest grandma wants to introduce her sister to the Marquis." Yuanyang nodded and said: "I have noticed it a long time ago. A few years ago She had this idea when the Marquis was at home, but he was busy practicing on Zhuangzi and had no time to think about it. Now that the Marquis is back, she probably wants to make this idea again. It seems that she has never thought about it. I don’t want to give up, but those Second Sister You and Third Sister You are really two stunning beauties. If the Marquis likes them, it doesn’t matter if they accept them." After saying that, he looked at Jia Cong, wanting to see his reaction.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "There are so many beauties in the world. I can't take them all in. If I take them all in, the entire Ningguo Mansion won't be able to accommodate them. Do you want to exhaust me to death? In fact, I am very satisfied with you by my side." , A harmonious family is more important than anything else. When I, Heping'er, consummate our marriage, I will take you all in. From now on, I will also live a life of wives and concubines, hahaha... "When Yuanyang heard this, he couldn't help but
"Pfft" he laughed.
"The Marquis actually wants to do good things. Don't you still want to be like the big master? Why don't you drink and play with your little wives every day?" Jia Cong said: "It's not bad to live like a big master, that's what most men dream of. , Besides, don’t you want me to accompany you every day?” Qingwen said with a smile: “I would like Mr. Hou to play with me every day, ride horses and hunt, drink and punch, I like it best.” Jia Cong laughed and said : "Let's go to bed. We will be sleeping together tonight." Yuanyang laughed and scolded: "Bah, you are getting more and more mischievous. I won't accompany you crazy. I will sleep outside tonight and let Ping'er and Qingwen will accompany you." After saying that, he stood up and pulled Xiren out.
Ping'er smiled and said: "I won't go crazy with you. I will go to sleep outside and let Qingwen stay with you." How could Jia Cong let them all go? He grabbed Ping'er and pulled her away. Carrying it on his shoulders.
Ping'er exclaimed in fright,
"Oh, Lord Marquis, what are you going to do? Put me down quickly." Jia Cong laughed and said, "I'm going to discuss consummating the marriage with you tonight. How can I let you go?" After that, Carrying her towards the inner room, Qingwen followed behind with a smile and cheers.
The three of them laughed and joked around for a while, then fell asleep hugging each other. ······At noon the next day, during dinner, Qin Keqing walked in carrying a food box.
When he came to Jia Cong's side, he said with a smile: "Uncle Cong, I personally stewed a turtle soup for you to try, so that you can recuperate." Jia Cong looked at Qin Keqing in astonishment, only to Seeing her looking at him with a smile, her eyes were as tender as water, as if they were about to melt.
Thousands of words are gathered in this one look. Silence is really better than sound at this moment! Looking at her current appearance, Jia Cong was speechless.
Didn’t you say that no one should know? What is going on today? This is too blatant.
The people in this room are all human beings, and not a single one is stupid. It is easy for people to figure out the clues by doing this. I really don’t understand what this little goblin wants to do?
Is it to remind myself to meet her again and make up for it in advance? Last night, the two of them tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time. After eating the marrow and knowing the taste, they couldn't help themselves. Thinking of the wonderful taste yesterday, Jia Cong was also a little ready to move.
"Let my nephew and wife worry about it. I'm very strong now and don't need nourishment yet. Now that it's done, let's put it on the table and eat together. This stuff also nourishes blood and is good for you women. It will be more in a while. Eat something." Everyone in the room looked at Qin Keqing and Jia Cong in confusion, with probing expressions on their faces.
Qin Keqing said with a smile: "I heard that Uncle Cong is going to consummate the marriage with Miss Heping. It would be easier to make up for it in advance." After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized and laughed at Ping'er, making Ping'er blush.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Okay, don't laugh at Ping'er. You also have this day. Don't laugh at anyone. We have all sat down to eat. My nephew and wife are here to eat together." Qin Keqing said with a sweet smile: "If you listen to Uncle Cong, you won't be polite."
"What are you so polite about as a family? If you want to when I'm home, you can come over and eat together, or you can eat by yourself."
"I know, Uncle Cong." The voice was so charming that Jia Cong couldn't help but shudder.
Qingwen curled her lips and secretly cursed 'vixen' in her heart. 'After dinner, I chatted with everyone for a while and then went to the front yard to learn about the business situation at home with Zhang Fu.
Then, he quietly sneaked into Qin Keqing's yard. When Ruizhu and Baozhu saw Jia Cong coming, they said hello with a smile and went outside the room.
Qin Keqing said with a smile: "Uncle Cong, why are you here so soon? I haven't recovered yet." Only a ghost can believe this. Jia Cong curled his lips and said: "You old turtle soup has been delivered, if I If you don't come again, how can I be worthy of your old turtle soup?" Qin Keqing chuckled and said: "Uncle Cong is so smart, he really knows everything, and he is worthy of being a victorious general." After saying that, he stepped forward and hooked his hands together. He held Jia Cong's neck, raised a charming smile, and took the initiative to offer a sweet kiss.
This kiss was like thunder from the sky and fire from the earth, instantly igniting passion. Jia Cong picked up Qin Keqing from the waist, threw her on the bed, and jumped on her... Although Jia Cong said he was keeping filial piety at home, in fact he was living a life surrounded by beauties and living in debauchery.
I accompany Ping'er, Yuanyang, Qingwen and others every day, chatting and playing around. From time to time, I would go to Wushan with Qin Keqing, the little fairy, to make clouds and rain, and discuss the true meaning of life.
I really fell into the gentle land and couldn't extricate myself. A beauty like Qin Keqing not only looks enchanting, but also knows how to advance and retreat, and can seduce people. She is really irresistible.
On this day, Youshi came over with a smile on his face.
"Brother Cong, my mother is here with her two younger sisters. They are in my yard. I heard that you want to help them, so I have to thank you in person. I can't help but persuade you." Jia Cong heard this and said, He smiled and said: "It's such a small thing, it's not worth mentioning. What's there to thank you for? It's too foreign." Youshi smiled and said: "This is a small thing for us, not worth mentioning, but for them , that’s a big deal, I’ve already prepared meals over there, Brother Cong can eat at my place at noon.” Seeing You’s attitude, it seems that he can’t go.
If she didn't go, it would be disrespectful to her and make her lose face in front of her family. This person lives just for face, especially for women, who regard face as very important, even more important than their own lives.
He must come forward to support her and let her have face in front of her family. Besides, she also went to great lengths to please herself, finding nannies for herself, and introducing beautiful women to herself. Where could she find such a sister-in-law?
It is really unjustifiable not to cheer others up and save face.
"Okay, I'll disturb my sister-in-law at noon. Yuanyang, I'll deliver some dishes to my sister-in-law later. I'll eat there." Yuanyang said, "I know, Mr. Hou, I'll deliver them to you when it's time for dinner." Come over." Hearing this, Youshi smiled and said, "What other dishes are there? I've prepared them over there. Come on, let's go there first." After that, he picked up Jia Cong and walked to his yard.
