Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

As summer passed and autumn came, Cui Yawei married her sweetheart happily.

On the day of her wedding, the Second Madam also let people see how wealthy she was. She prepared a dowry of [-] cents for Cui Yawei, and carried it from the Dingguo Palace to the Song family in a mighty manner, which opened the eyes of onlookers along the way. .

The eldest lady looked at the battle, turned back and added dozens more to Cui Yaying's dowry.

On the day she returned home, Cui Yawei had a rosy face and a happy face. She and Song Shaoheng flirted with each other from time to time, calling each other "husband". The two of them looked very affectionate.

During the dinner, the second lady smiled happily and said, "Seeing that Yawei and my uncle are getting along beautifully, I feel relieved. Next, I will arrange the marriage for Yarong."

"Second sister-in-law, has Ya Rong's marriage been decided?" the fourth lady asked.

"Not yet, but it's almost agreed upon, and we just have to make the appointment."

So fast, why didn't you hear any movement before?

The eldest lady said: "I wonder which family the second brother and sister promised Ya Rong?"

"He's not an outsider, he's a nephew from my mother's family. He knows everything about her. Ya Rong will definitely not be wronged if she marries her."

The eldest lady nodded. The Xie family's family status was a bit low, but their family was rich enough to allow Ya Rong to live comfortably.

The Second Madam knew that no one else could find anything wrong with this marriage, and she was taking advantage of that girl. Ever since Yawei got engaged, her mother-in-law's sister-in-law always sighed when she came to see her, saying that she originally expected to get married, but now that Yawei is married to someone else, her son's marriage has not been settled. She also moved the old man out and reminded her not to forget the help of the Xie family.

The shop under her name is still managed by Xie's family, and she doesn't dare to completely offend someone.

Only then did I think of the concubine Ya Rong. Although Ya Rong was born as a concubine, she was still the eldest daughter of Duke Dingguo's family, so the Xie family would have had high hopes for marrying her.

The second lady has been feeling very refreshed recently. Yawei has married well, and promising Yarong to the Xie family is killing two birds with one stone. Not only did she appease her family, but she also gained a reputation, so others would not accuse her of treating the concubine harshly. The only thing that made her feel unsatisfied was that it had been more than a year since Bai's marriage and there was still no movement in her stomach.

This reminded her of Liu Ying. If she hadn't driven him away, the child she gave birth to now would be the first great-grandchild in the house, and she didn't know whether the child was a boy or a girl.

The second lady made plans secretly.

There are still two months before Cui Yaying leaves the cabinet, and the eldest lady is making preparations nervously.

That day, the eldest lady came to Yiyue Pavilion and asked Cui Yaying about the maids to accompany you, "The number of maids who will accompany you to the Shen family is four. Who do you want to go with you?"

Cui Yaying thought about the people around her and said, "Mother, I want to take five people with me."

The eldest lady shook her head, "Everything about marriage must be done in pairs, not five."

"Then I'll add one more and make six, right?"

"This is just the maid as a dowry. There is also a mother-in-law and other servants. When you arrive at the Shen family, you still have the people they gave you, so there will be too many people in your room. I'm afraid it won't be appropriate." The eldest lady told her seriously. analyze.

Cui Yaying curled her lips, "Isn't it just two more maids? I want to take the five people around me with me."

The eldest lady also became embarrassed after hearing this.

At this time, Yunling came out and saluted: "Girl, this slave will serve you for the shortest time. You are used to using the other four sisters. It will not be good without anyone, so let this slave stay."

Come down. "

"Yunling, don't worry, I will find a way to take you with me."

Over the past year or so, Cui Yaying has become accustomed to having Yunling by her side and doesn't want to leave her behind.

Yunling also felt sad. Cui Yaying was a good master and trusted her to protect her from the beginning. Qingdai and the others also gave her a lot of help. After this farewell, she might never meet a group of people as good as them again.

But even though she was reluctant to give up, she could only do this in order to be free in a few years. If she goes to the Shen family as a dowry maid, she may be like Xu's mother in this life, from the maid to the mother-in-law, she is the master of the family.

She couldn't bear to hide it and said truthfully: "I thank you for your love, but I want to stay in the Duke's mansion."

"why is that?"

Cui Yaying was puzzled. Could it be that she felt that the Shen family's family status was not as good as that of the Duke's mansion, and that she had a better future here?

No, Cui Yaying dismissed this speculation after thinking about it. The Yunling she knew was not the kind of person who follows people's influence.

The eldest lady and Qingdai and others on the side also wanted to know why Yunling said this.

Under their gaze, Yunling replied: "I learned that the Duke's mansion allows maids to redeem their deeds when they reach the age of twenty. I want to leave the house at that time."

She actually planned to leave, and the eldest lady asked, "You don't like it here?"

"Madam, I have misunderstood. It was Mother Xu who saved my slave's life. The Duke's mansion has been kind to my slave. The old lady, madam and the girl are so kind to my slave. I am deeply grateful."

Yunling paused for a moment, then continued: "I just want to know where I came from, and want to find my past. I originally wanted to live the next days in such a muddle, but I don't want to

This idea came to my mind because I was not feeling at ease. "

Everyone present knew her life experience, and they couldn't help but be moved after hearing this.

Cui Yaying was silent for a moment and said: "Although I hope you can stay with me, I don't want to see you feeling uneasy. In this case, you can stay."

Yunling bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you very much, my dear lady, for your support."

Cui Yaying turned to the eldest lady and said, "Mother, after I leave the cabinet, please arrange a good place for Yunling to go."

The eldest lady comforted her with a smile, "Don't worry, Yunling will handle things properly and she will be fine no matter where she is. I will make good arrangements for her."

After the incident was revealed, in addition to joy, there was also a hint of sadness in Yiyue Pavilion.

The old lady was concerned that the eldest lady was preparing for Cui Yaying's marriage, so she specifically told her not to have a grand birthday party this year. But no matter how simple it was, it still made the house lively.

Because Cui Yaying was getting married and it was inconvenient to see guests, she went to wish the old lady her birthday early in the morning.

The weather is getting colder, and Cui Yaying's wedding is still more than half a month away.

It happened that Cui Jun and Cui Qiyan were taking a break. In the evening, the eldest lady had a table of dishes prepared and called all three children to eat.

While chatting after the meal, the eldest lady remembered something, "Qi Yan, is the Yin Zhu in your courtyard going to get married next spring?"

Cui Qiyan held the cup and nodded, "She and another maid left the house at that time."

The eldest lady frowned, "Two of them have already left. If they leave again, there will only be two maids left in your courtyard. If this doesn't work, I'll add a few more for you."

"Mom can just find someone to take Yin Zhu's place. There is no need for anything else."

The eldest lady refused, "How can that be done? Some things should be done by the maid."

Come carefully. I want to give you some of the new batch of maids from last year, but you don’t want them. This time, I can’t let you do anything. "
