After sitting in Xiheju for more than two quarters of an hour, Mrs. Cheng waved her hand to dismiss everyone.
Xihe was inside, and Mrs. Cheng was playing with the camellia flowers in the tea bowl.
"Mother Liu, Mrs. Zhu seems to be well behaved now." Mrs. Cheng said.
"I know people, but I don't know their hearts. Madam, it's better to observe for a few more days." Liu's mother advised.
"Well, I know that if she is really well-behaved, I can give her a thumbs up." Mrs. Cheng raised her eyebrows.
Mr. Cheng is only twenty-six years old now, and already has a son and a daughter. The son is eight years old and the daughter is five years old.
"It's just Zhu's appearance..." Mother Liu frowned and said half a sentence.
Cheng put down the spoon, smiled confidently, and said with some disdain, "Don't you just serve people with sex? Besides, if the Marquis can personally nod to wish the family to enter the house, it means that the Zhu family has a good face, and the Marquis will not wrong himself."
After hearing this, Mother Liu relaxed her brows and smiled knowingly, "That's true. Marrying virtuous wives and keeping concubines is a good idea. Mrs. Yu has become much more cheerful since she had a child. If Mrs. Zhu gets one or two points, It’s easy to suppress even if you pamper her.”
A trace of ridicule flashed in Cheng's eyes, "The Marquis just experienced the separation of mother and child since he was a child, so he ordered all the children in this house to be raised under the name of the biological mother. Let her do it. This is the only time the Marquis is kind to the concubine. , just ask her to do it."
If you are favored by Mr. Marquis, even if you are favored by Mr. Marquis, the position in your heart may not be as important as the pen of your dominant hand.
However, Yu Xiaoniang also has a special feeling in Mr. Hou's heart. After all, it was the nanny who entrusted her to Mr. Hou. She also has some kind of affection and cannot be ignored.
"It's true that the eldest lady is kind-hearted." Liu's mother followed up with a flattering sentence.
"Are you kind-hearted? It's just a concubine, nothing more. What can I gain by fighting with concubines for half a life like my mother did? As long as I behave upright, they won't always have to grovel in front of me. How can they be safe? If you share some, give it to a child so that they can have someone to rely on in the future. If you are restless, let them do it. I am too lazy to care about their life and death." Mrs. Cheng raised her eyebrows and said.
What did her mother-in-law, the noble lady of the country, gain from fighting with concubines for half her life just for a little bit of pampering with her fingertips exposed?
Mother Liu sighed inwardly. She had watched the eldest lady grow up. To be honest, sometimes the eldest lady and the Marquis were quite similar, ruthless and affectionate, which was unpredictable.
In Zhelan Pavilion, Zhu Yan didn't sleep well last night. She originally wanted to come back to catch up on her sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep.
Zhu Yan simply asked someone to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones in the study and started practicing calligraphy.
Ever since she was little, Zhu Yan would practice calligraphy when she was irritable, and she actually became good at it.
The Marquis of Changning's Mansion was large enough but had few masters, so Zhu Yan was also allocated a small courtyard with two main rooms and two side rooms. Although the house was small, it was well-equipped.
Being unable to sleep is simply because my mind is not at peace.
Her family was in the capital, and relying on the convenient water transportation, she did some business with her maternal grandfather's family in Yangzhou, and she was considered a small fortune.
She is the eldest daughter in the family. When she first traveled through time, she felt insecure and had inexplicable fear of the world. Her parents gave her peace of mind. They pampered her and hired teachers to teach her how to read, as long as it was not too much. Almost all requirements are met.
Her life plan was to marry a businessman or a student, become the first wife, and spend the rest of her life raising her husband, raising her children, and managing the back house.
Don't say that it is impossible to be an independent woman. When you are not married, you obey your father, when you are married, you obey your husband, and when your husband dies, you obey your son. This is not just talk.
In the Yin Dynasty, even if you want to establish a female household, you must have no one in your mother's family, no one in your husband's family, and no son. Only if these three conditions are met can you be established as a female household.
It is not realistic to stay unmarried for the rest of your life. If you don't get married, others will say that your daughter cannot get married. That is because there is something wrong with your family's tutor, or that your daughter cannot marry.
Who would have thought that her father would give her to someone else as a concubine?
She once thought that she might as well kill herself with a cup of poison. Anyway, she had seen what prosperity was in her previous life, so she didn't want it in vain.
She really got a dose of poison, but when she got it, all she thought about was her parents' kindness to her, and she also thought that she should repay her parents. This was too selfish of her.
With so many thoughts on her mind, Zhu Yan took a deep breath and picked up her pen to write.
"By purifying your mind and keeping your mind, you can reach the path. It's like polishing a mirror, removing the dirt and making it clear. If you cut off desires and have no desires, you will achieve your destiny."
Let me be a concubine, just as repaying the kindness of my parents. It's not like I can't survive like this.
A concubine has a concubine's way of living. Fortunately, she is a good concubine and has a concubine acceptance document. At least she has a legal status. As for the living security, the concubine has a monthly salary of five times a month, three sets of clothes for each season throughout the year, and jewelry. Three sets a year, although the five strings are a little less, the most she brings with her into the Changning Marquis' Mansion is money.
Moreover, the eldest lady in the mansion is not a troubling mistress. As long as she abides by the rules, she can live peacefully in the mansion.
