The prince of buns

Besides, about half a month later, the second wife of Nian took the Geng Tie sent by the Qi family and couldn't help being stunned. After thinking for a long time, she murmured to Xiu Xing, the eldest maid beside her, "What is the name of the third girl of the Qi family?" What? I seem to remember her name is Songzhen, why is it Songya on this geng post? The age is not right, why is she seventeen, the same age as your grandfather? I think she is at most fourteen or fifteen years old. "

Xiuxing thoughtfully took the teacup in her hand, but she was thinking about the words that Madam Liu, who was beside Mrs. Ruan, promised her two days earlier.

It turned out that she was not a child of the Nian family, but was sold to the Nian family as a maid when she was a child because the family could not live in poverty. It was redeemed for its value.

In these years, she finally managed to survive among the many maids who were born at home with the support of her parents, uncles and aunts, and finally she survived to the level of the first-class maids around the wives.

She had a good life in the Nian's family, and her food and clothing expenses were almost better than those of the young ladies from small families, but there was a disabled elder brother in her family, who was poorly born with a cripple and weak body. The medicine jars are always with me throughout the year, and I am in my twenties this year, and I haven't talked about a daughter-in-law yet.

Besides, he can't carry a basket with his shoulders and hands, and he can't do much to make a living. His parents' hair is white, and they still work outside to support him. Looking forward to holding his grandson, his eyes are straight. In the middle of the night, I just wiped my tears behind my back.

Mother Liu found her, and brought her Madam Ruan's words: As long as she helps Songya get through the door smoothly, she will not only promise to pick a good girl with a good name and surname beside her to be her brother's wife, but also to marry her. Find a part-time job for her brother in the Qi family's property, so that his wife and job will not have to worry about, and he will surely live a good life.

He even promised to pay her brother to redeem her after a year or two, and even arrange her marriage. Madam Ruan will personally come forward to find her a wealthy family with a good family background. She used to be a headed young mistress.

This is what fascinated her the most.

After all, no matter how well I serve the masters of the Nian family, the second wife of Nian will still be the master for her in the future. At most, I will choose a decent one among the young stewards at home, and in the end, I will still be a slave.

If you want to hire outside, she is a maid, I am afraid she can only fill in the house or even a concubine for others, how can it be compared with Mrs. Ruan's generous conditions?

Besides, Ms. Liu was afraid that she would not believe it, so she put down 30 taels of silver on the spot, which was enough for her family to have enough food and clothing for a whole year!

So he smiled and said: "Madam, don't worry too much. Who can get the names of their own daughters wrong? Besides, there are only three young ladies in their family. The eldest lady heard that she is getting married this year, so she will never tell us again." Home, didn't the second miss come here with the third miss that day, this servant remembers that there is a word Xian in her name."

Mrs. Nian Er couldn't help but nodded when she heard this. The girl Song Xian also impressed her deeply. Well, such a talkative girl really ruined a demure word.

Speaking of which, the third lady is undoubtedly called Song Ya. As for being a bit older, I blame myself for not asking carefully. It's just that a family like the Qi family dragged a lady until she was 17 years old. What about others?

So it is inevitable that there is still some worry in my heart.

Xiu Xing persuaded her again, "Think about it, madam, that Miss Qi San was not born to Mrs. Wei Guogong, maybe that's why she didn't worry too much?"

These words hinted that the mother-in-law probably doesn't care much about the concubine's daughter. Mrs. Nian Er is also a wife, and there are one or two other people around the master. It is understandable to think that the children in the second belly are different. So I didn't say anything more.

Later, he told the story of the Qi family sending Geng Tie to the prime minister's wife, her sister-in-law Mrs. Nian, but Mrs. Nian didn't look too optimistic.

"I don't know if you have heard of something. It is rumored outside that Mrs. Wei Guogong secretly emptied Mrs. Xian Guogong's dowry behind her back! Although Wei Guogong's reputation is good, there is such a The aunt really makes people feel unsatisfied, can't we find a better girl?"

Mrs. Nian Er also has her own plan in mind.

Firstly, she came from an ordinary family, and her natal family had no power to support her son, nor did she have any money to supplement her side. Second, the prime minister said that she was very famous, but after all, it was her uncle, her son's uncle, and not her real father. .

But her son's biological father, her husband Nian Erye, is incompetent. He just raises flowers and plants at home and lives like an elegant hermit. There are more than [-] people in the second house. Survive in Dafang.

People from the outside look at their house as decent, but in fact they are exhausted inside.

Therefore, the reputation of Wei Guogong's mansion, which Mrs. Nian didn't like, was still very important to her.

Thinking about it further, her son is a sensible child who knows how to make progress, maybe the Duke of the Kingdom will like him in the future, and maybe he is willing to support him?

It's ridiculous to say that Mrs. Ruan had the fantasy of Prime Minister Nian supporting her nephew, while she had the fantasy of Master Qi supporting his son-in-law, so the two people's ideas came together.

So he smiled and said: "It wasn't born by her. I heard that the child's aunt Zhou was born innocent, and she is quite honest. I think the child is not bad. He is neither humble nor overbearing, and he is not simple. , I'm not afraid of sister-in-law's jokes, considering our family's situation, this is not bad."

Mrs. Nian thought about her brother-in-law really not being very promising, and it would be a shame to say that she could marry a young lady in the Duke's mansion, so she didn't say any more, thinking that she was not begging for a daughter-in-law anyway, since Second Aunt was happy in her heart, so why should she bother with such a boring thing.

So he asked for a step with a smile and said: "That's right, it's a good thing you didn't marry the eldest lady of their family, or you would be as dirty as her mother, and when you come to our house, you always want to steal it from your mother's house. how good."

The wife of the second year of the year was also happy, "When the daughter-in-law passes through the door, I will ask my sister-in-law to teach her well, so that I will have less contact with her wife from her natal family. The child is honest, and I am afraid that my sister-in-law will also do it when she sees her." like."

The two sisters-in-law and sister-in-law discussed the marriage in full swing, and they never suspected that there were other tricks in it. They followed the two families to set the ceremony date in the twelfth lunar month, and there was still more than half a year to prepare.

In fact, Madam Ruan's blindfold method is not uncommon, it's just a trick to change the concept secretly.

First of all, she intentionally brought Songzhen to Nian's house as a guest that day, and intended to give Nian's family a feeling that she was here to talk about things related to Songzhen.

When discussing marriage with Mrs. Nian Er, she used words such as "our girl" and "my daughter", deliberately not naming names, people will habitually think that what she said "My daughter" was the girl who came with her, that is, Songzhen herself.

However, the Geng Tie that was sent was Song Ya’s own, and Song Ya was also written on the marriage letter, that is to say, the future daughter-in-law hired by the Nian’s family and registered with the government was indeed a girl named Qi Songya, so Ruan Madam knew in her heart that although everything would be revealed on the day she got through the door, her precious daughter was also a justifiable young mistress of the Nian family.

At the most, he would come to the door to pretend to be confused and make amends. Could it be that people like them can do things like divorce their wives as soon as they pass the door?

What's more, the matchmaker's words in black and white, even if their family doesn't like it, is the word Wei Guogong's mansion just a decoration?

The wishful thinking was very loud, and when she saw that the Nian's house was stable, she started to stabilize the house.

First, he intentionally stayed up all night, making his eyes red, and then he pretended to call Songzhen to him early the next morning, and when he saw her, he burst into tears.

"My poor son, I'm sorry for you, mother! Beep, beep, beep..."

She frightened Songzhen so much that she didn't know what to do, so she quickly helped her to sit down with Mother Liu, and she cried and said: "It's all about mother sorry for you, the second wife of the Nian family has always had some friendship with mother. , you know, his family originally wanted to talk about your eldest sister, but they didn't want the Xu family to come to the door first, so they couldn't bring it up again. Later, the second wife took a fancy to you, and my mother thought it was a good idea. .”

After speaking, she cried until she was out of breath. When Songzhen saw the battle, she knew that her marriage was over, so she was naturally very sad, but how dare she show it in front of Mrs. Ruan, she had to search her stomach Find some nice words to comfort her.

Mrs. Ruan had already guessed that she was soft-tempered and thin-skinned, so she said: "It was only a drop of the horoscope, but the Xu family was lucky enough to force our family to divorce, and your relatives, the Nian family, also I didn't bring it up seriously. As soon as I heard about the behavior of the Xu family, I immediately sent someone to find your father directly, and wanted to hire your eldest sister as a daughter-in-law. You know your father, and he always said one thing and one thing. Second, he hadn't heard of the discussion between our women's family, and he didn't know that mother, I intended to tell you to the Nian family, so I agreed without thinking about it!"

After finishing speaking, he beat his chest and feet with a handkerchief to wake up his nose and said: "My son, mother is also hard! The palm of the hand is meat, and the back of the hand is also meat. Your eldest sister has already been bullied by the Xu family. If your father blushes this time The marriage promised by Bai Fang and our family went back on their own. Wouldn’t that force her to die? My mother loves you, but I also love your big sister! This is really hard for me, why don’t you just call I'm dead! Beep, beep—"

Speaking of which, Songzhen understood everything, the Xu family refused to marry Songya, so this good mother helped her own daughter to snatch the marriage that was originally going to be told to her.

But even though he knew it in his heart, he was also a dumb eater of Coptis chinensis, unable to express his suffering.

She, a young lady who has not yet left the court, has no face to talk about her own marriage?

He just went back to the house with a pale face and wiped away his tears in secret.

When Qi Mu'an heard about this, he still murmured in his heart, thinking what kind of family is this year, one is in love, and the other is hired. Back then, the second wife of their family gave Songzhen to wear it in public. The string of red musk deer is almost tantamount to a disguised intention to marry. Now that it's come out like this, what kind of person is Songzhen?

Go out without being laughed at.

Thinking about it, Song Zhen is a lovely and loving girl, but unfortunately she has a bad life and was reborn under the jurisdiction of Mrs. Ruan.

Unexpectedly, things in the world cannot escape the word "coincidence". This day, Lin Xiao happened to come back from looking at goods in other places, so he excitedly told him about it.

"I really didn't expect that in the future, I would be able to climb up with relatives in your family. Although it is a bit twisted, it sounds interesting, isn't it!"

Qi Mu'an was confused when he heard this, and hurriedly asked him what was going on, he laughed and said: "No wonder the uncle doesn't know, my aunt's sister is married very well, and she is the younger brother of this year's bridesmaid, I just heard it when I got home. It is said that their family only talked about a daughter-in-law, and it is the third lady in the house!"
