[Red Chamber] Buddhist concubine

Zhou Yao was taken aback, and then quickly comforted her: "Mother, I have no other intentions. It's just that the house is crowded and I can't move around. Wouldn't it be more sad when the sisters-in-law and younger siblings have children again? Qingliu arrived At that time, I told her that I wanted to find two houses not far apart, and the house I lived in was smaller and there were more people in my family, so I lived in a larger house."

When she was in the Lin family, Zhou Yao wanted to buy a house and move in by herself, but she never thought of buying a house for the Zhou family.Because at that time, she felt that what she owed to the original owner had been paid off, so she didn't want to have too much involvement with the Zhou family.

But after leaving Lin's house, because she couldn't find a suitable house for a while, she could only live in Zhou's house temporarily.

And within less than a day of getting along with Zhou's family, she changed her original thinking, and even began to yearn for the warmth given by her Zhou family.Although due to her status, she couldn't continue to live in the Zhou family, but she never wanted to completely sever ties with the Zhou family.

Uh……

Although in ancient times, such an idea would have been impossible.

But at least, Zhou Yao is willing to get along with the Zhou family, and also willing to keep in touch with the Zhou family.

It's just a house, and it doesn't cost much, Zhou Yao can still afford it.

What's more, in such an environment in ancient times, if she lived alone as a woman, it would inevitably attract gossip.And with Zhou's family living nearby, they can also walk around like relatives, so it will always be much safer.

Moreover, the Zhou family's house is indeed a bit crowded.

Because of these considerations, Zhou Yao came up with the idea of ​​buying a house for the Zhou family.

Zhou's mother looked at Zhou Yao suspiciously: "Are you so filial?"

The former second sister wanted to be a master, but she never thought about being a family member.Could it be that being an aunt once really changed so much?The masters of the Lin family are not the kind of strict people.

Zhou Yao smiled embarrassingly: "Mother, it's just me honoring you and father. It's just a house, and it won't hurt me."

Zhou's mother chose to refuse without hesitation: "Your father and several brothers have saved a lot of money in the past two years. If you sell this old house again, you can change it to a bigger house. Your money is yours. Keep the flowers for use, don’t worry about the two of us who are immortal. Even if you are filial, you still have a few brothers, and it’s not your turn to be a girl. You don’t have to worry about your sisters-in-law gossiping, just stay at home Stay here, everything depends on me and your father."

Zhou Yao couldn't laugh or cry.

If she originally had other considerations for giving the house, after Zhou's mother's words, she wanted to spend money for it from the bottom of her heart.How lucky is the original owner to have such a caring family?

She paused and sighed: "But with my status, staying at home will have a bad impact on my nephew and niece's future marriages. Besides, I live alone in a separate courtyard, so even if I spend money, I am more comfortable."

Zhou's mother frowned and thought about it, and could only compromise: "Then you can buy a house yourself. After you buy it, we will ask the dentist to find out if there is a big house nearby, and then let your father and brother pay for it. Don't worry about it."

Xu saw the disapproval in Zhou Yao's eyes, and Zhou's mother was determined, "You also said that your current status is not very good, and you don't say what kind of means of livelihood you have, so I can only pretend that you don't have any." That's right, keep the money, and if something happens, you can use it in the future."

She paused, then frowned and asked Zhou Yao: "Is the money in your hand really enough to buy a house? If not, just tell me, I'll ask your father to give you some money."

Zhou Yao was taken aback for a moment, so why did it turn out that Zhou's mother gave her money?

She quickly shook her head: "Don't worry, mother, the money in my hand is used to buy such a big house, and I can buy several, you don't have to worry."

Zhou Yao's novel manuscript fee is the monthly share of the teahouse. After saving for more than a year, the money in her hand is not much worse than that rewarded by the Lin family.

In addition, Xian Wang published books for her, and she also got a share of the money bought——

The share from selling books is much higher than that from teahouses, so she doesn't have to worry about her future life at all.

Zhou's mother was still a little worried, but seeing Zhou Yao's determined eyes, she finally let go of her worries for the time being, and asked about other things: "Daughter, tell me the truth, do you still plan to marry in the future?"

Zhou Yao: "!!!"

Why did you suddenly bring up this topic?She just got out of the sea of ​​suffering, why did she jump into the pit of fire again?

Zhou Yao looked at Zhou's mother in horror: "Why does mother ask such a question? I just left the Lin family. Is it too early to talk about getting married?"

Zhou's mother looked at Zhou Yao worriedly: "Daughter, although being an aunt in the Lin family is not happy, you will always marry in the future. Now let me ask you clearly about your plan, so that I can find out for you in advance. Find some suitable candidates. After two years, the limelight will pass, and you will be able to marry and have children right away without wasting any time."

Zhou Yao shook her head again and again: "Mother, don't delay at all!"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Yao said flatly, "And after living in the Lin family for this period of time, I can understand it. I don't like people who don't take concubines, but people who take concubines don't like me. So Ah, I've decided not to marry!"

Zhou's mother stared: "As a woman, it is only natural to marry and have children. You are at the right age, how can you not get married? If you don't get married, don't you want to be an old aunt for the rest of your life?"

Zhou Yao wanted to say more, but Zhou's mother got up straight away and said firmly, "In short, you must marry. I will go to a matchmaker to help find suitable candidates. I can allow you not to marry for two years, but after two years Year, you must give me family!"

After finishing speaking, Zhou's mother left the room without waiting for Zhou Yao to speak.

Zhou Yao: "..."

Zhou Yao never expected that all the conflicts she had expected with Zhou's family would never happen. Instead, the marriage issue, which she had never thought about, became a problem between herself and Zhou's mother.

She had never been forced to marry in modern times, so why was she forced to marry in ancient times?

No, she must leave the Zhou family as soon as possible!

When Qingliu returned to Zhou's house, Zhou Yao grabbed her and asked, "Have you found a suitable house? If it's hard to find two houses next to each other, it's okay to find a separate house first."

Qingliu immediately cheered up: "This servant is just about to say, the two houses you are looking for are not easy to find, but the prostitute has two houses, one big and one small, separated by a street. "
