A Concubine of Salted Fish in Qing Dynasty [Red House]

Dong Wenyi has an idea, but it is not so easy to realize it.

First of all, how can I get in touch with Cousin Yingyu?

Everyone is a lady, and the door does not leave the second door.

The description of this sentence is a bit exaggerated, but it can basically summarize the daily life of boudoir women in all big families.

Especially now that the Lin family has not yet passed the filial piety period. As children, they have to observe filial piety for three years, and now they have only passed the first year.

Many banquets will not take the initiative to invite the juniors of the Lin family, and the sisters of the Lin family spend most of their time in the inner courtyard.

Dong Wenyi is 13 years old this year. Although he is a relative, he needs to strictly abide by the defense of men and women at this age. If he enters the inner courtyard, he has no other choice but to go to the old lady.

The old lady was guarding the gate of the inner courtyard, and he wanted to go in to find the old lady, and there was a special guide who refused to agree to leave.

And even if he got rid of people, he didn't know where Cousin Yingyu lived.

He didn't think of a good way, so he went back to find his mother, "I really like cousin Yingyu, mother, please go and tell my great-aunt, marry her to me, I will definitely treat her well in the future."

Xie Ruozhen felt a little helpless, and felt a little suffocated in his heart. Will he treat her well?

Then you can't marry her in.

She thought of a reason: "My little ancestor, didn't I tell you? They haven't drafted yet, and they are going to draft."

Dong Wenyi turned his head, "Mom, don't fool me. I know there is a draft, but it's not uncommon for people to go through the motions. There are still people who think of other ways and just don't go. It's just that you have to take some risks."

He grabbed Xie Ruozhen's sleeve and shook it: "I don't care! Mother, I must marry my cousin! Mother, mother—"

He resorted to obsessive obsession, causing Xie Ruozhen a headache. She had already been rejected by her aunt, and even if she raised her face now, the success rate would not be high.

But Dong Wenyi doesn't understand his mother, it's always been like this, as long as he really wants it, he can tell his mother, if it doesn't work once, then twice, if he keeps pestering him, he will always succeed in the end.

What he did made Xie Ruozhen very passive, she rubbed the center of her brows, and compromised again: "Okay, okay, you sin, I really owed you in my previous life."

She shook her head and sighed, planning how to talk to her aunt to make her more likely to succeed.

Dong Wenyi is now happy: "Mom is really the best, mother, you are the one who loves me the most, and I will definitely repay my mother when I am successful in the future, please give my mother an order, let you be an old Fengjun at home ..." He said a series of good words, coaxing Xie Ruozhen to smile.

After laughing, we still have to face reality.

She went to her aunt and talked a lot, but the old lady stopped her when she mentioned the topic of kissing again.

The old lady was talking to her niece that her nephew and elder brother were having fun, but when she heard her mentioning her cousins, she suddenly lost her mood: "If it's true, I've said it before, don't mention it again, your family Yi is still young now, and my granddaughter is still keeping a filial piety, which is inappropriate!"

Xie Ruozhen had an embarrassing expression, "Auntie, let's privately..."

The old lady picked up the teacup expressionlessly and saw off the guests.

Xie Ruozhen glanced at the old lady, and could only hold back what she wanted to say.

Dong Wenyi, who was waiting for her good news, knew that things were not going well when he saw his mother's expression, and immediately frowned.

Xie Ruozhen comforted him: "Since it doesn't work this way, let the master talk to his cousin, maybe it will work." The parents ordered the matchmaker to say that the engagement itself is also decided by the cousin.

It's better to let them finalize it directly. In this case, even if my aunt disagrees, there is nothing I can do.

Xie Ruo really thought well, but when he went back and told Dong Gaocheng, Dong Gaocheng directly refused: "The old lady has already refused, why bother asking for trouble!"

He will not lose this person.

"Stupid, instead of bothering him about marriage, you might as well urge him to get a good name as soon as possible."

Xie Ruozhen felt that his fate was really hard. She hadn't made it clear which one she wanted, so he couldn't wait to refuse, and said that she wanted her to urge his son to study.

Shouldn't the son's homework be his father's concern?Where did I learn those Four Books and Five Classics?The words of a saint?How should I urge?

They don't have their mother and son in his heart at all, only those bitches!

She went back with red eyes.

When Dong Wenyi saw him, he knew that the engagement was not going to work, so he was forced to use his own brain.

He began to inquire about who was in the backyard of Lin's mansion, to find out the power in his cousin's backyard.

Then he learned that his favorite cousin Yingyu was born to Aunt Mei, and she didn't have a good relationship with another Aunt Yun.

That was also normal, there were no concubines in his father's backyard who had a good relationship, they always liked to be jealous, and wanted his father to go to them, presumably it was the same here.

Maybe Cousin Luoyu can also use it?

In his opinion, Cousin Yingyu is prettier than Cousin Luoyu. Cousin Luoyu must be jealous of Cousin Yingyu, and Cousin Luoyu's aunt will also dislike Cousin Yingyu's aunt because of this. The person who should be more willing to reveal more to him...

So he often went into the inner courtyard to greet the old lady, and he was clever enough to know that he should always bring his sisters with him.

But once he got into his aunt's place, there was almost no chance of him slipping out.

On this day, he entered the inner courtyard and said he was going to pay his respects to his aunt. On the way, he said it would be convenient for him to get rid of the maid, so he looked around to see if he could run into Cousin Yingyu by chance.

Yun Shuyao happened to come back with a maid. She had just delivered something to her daughter. When she passed by here, she saw Dong Wenyi who seemed to be looking for someone in the garden, and there was no maid beside her.

Yun Shuyao stopped in her tracks, stood where she was, and asked the eldest maid, Hong Qin, to go up to see if he was lost.

I won't pass by myself.

She didn't want to deal with this man.

She heard Luo Yu talk about how she behaved at the first meeting, and she really didn't like it, and she was too lazy to pretend to be false.

"Master Yi Ann."

Hongqin went up to invite Ann, "Master Yi, have you lost your way? The old lady's yard is in this direction. Let me lead you there."

Dong Wenyi's eyes lit up when he saw that it wasn't the maid from the old lady's yard: "Sister, please wait a moment, I will go to my aunt's place later, but I have some puzzles, I don't know if sister can explain it to me?"

Hongqin smiled: "Master Yi, please tell me."

Dong Wenyi smiled a little embarrassedly: "I don't know where my sister is serving?"

Hongqin: "...Don't dare to be a sister, Master Yi just call me Hongqin, I'm serving Aunt Yun."

Dong Wenyi's eyes became brighter: "I see. I heard that Aunt Yun and Aunt Mei are not on good terms. Is it true?"

Hongqin: "..."

She was surprised inside.

It's the first time I've seen someone inquire about her, and it's still the same way of asking.

Did Young Master Yi not realize that he had a problem, or was he really stupid?

Hongqin: "Master Yi was joking, the two aunts naturally get along harmoniously."

Dong Wenyi frowned: "No way, I heard that Aunt Mei is spoiled, isn't it true? Aunt Yun must have suffered a lot, right?"

Hongqin was silent again, what kind of hardship did Aunt Yun suffer?

How has she never heard of it?

And Aunt Mei is pampered... She didn't see that she was so pampered to come to Aunt Yun.

Hongqin: "Nothing."

"Haha, is that so? I heard that cousin Chenyu..." He chattered a lot, and finally asked what he wanted to ask the most.

"My second sister and younger sister have a very good relationship with the two cousins. I heard in a daze that they were going to the eldest cousin. Do you know how to get there? I will go to my second sister." When I said this, the voice was louder than I was much more excited before.

Hongqin was stunned for a moment, then looked in Aunt Yun's direction out of the corner of her eye, and replied after receiving a response: "Master Yi, tell me if you have anything to do, I'll pass the message."

After all, he was an unfamiliar Young Master Biao, and he looked a little suspicious.

Dong Wenyi was a little disappointed, but then he didn't know what to think of, and cheered up again: "Then I would like to ask my sister to pass a message to my eldest cousin, saying that I have something to ask her, can you come to the garden See you? It's about my second sister."

Hongqin became vigilant all of a sudden, she said she was looking for his second sister before, but now she is the eldest lady?Quickly evaded: "This is not acceptable, I am not familiar with the eldest lady, so I can't talk."

Dong Wenyi didn't believe it: "Sister, you are too modest in what you said." Looking at her attire, she knew that she was also a prominent figure among the maidservants, how could she be speechless, but she just didn't want to help, and he would.

He took out a small gold ingot from his sleeve and stuffed it into Hongqin's hand: "Sister, please help me, I know that my sister is the most kind-hearted person, and when things are done, I will thank you very much! I really If you have something to say to your eldest cousin, you should be flexible."

Hongqin returned it stiffly, was pushed in again, refused repeatedly, and finally accepted under Aunt Yun's signal: "...I'll try, I don't guarantee that the message will be delivered."

"Thank you sister."

Dong Wenyi was excited, he had finally made a breakthrough today, money can turn ghosts around, even if he didn't follow the rules, if he gave enough money, someone would be willing to spread the word for him.

He sat there contentedly waiting.

Hongqin turned two corners and handed over the two small gold ingots she received.

In the beginning, the other party gave one, but after some excuses, it became two.

Yun Shuyao wrapped the gold ingot with a handkerchief, frowned and looked in Dong Wenyi's direction.

Judging from the conversation she heard just now, this man is tricky. What does he want to do?

At first, I thought he was trying to stir up conflicts between her and Aunt Mei, but later she asked Yingyu specifically...

Thinking of his age, Yun Shuyao frowned even deeper.

In modern times, he should have just entered junior high school, but here he can't be regarded as a child. This is already an age where he can get married. Now he wants to meet Yingyu, but he still avoids people... No matter how he thinks about it, he doesn't think so. good thing.

But if you catch a thief, you have to get stolen goods.

Hongqin waited and waited until it was almost done, and regretfully went to find Dong Wenyi who was squatting in the flowers for fear of being found by others.

"Master Yi, the Eldest Miss is doing homework with the Second Miss, and I didn't pass on the message."

Dong Wenyi's disappointment was palpable: "...Since this is the case, can I trouble my sister to go again after they finish their work? I will come back at this time tomorrow." He has to hurry to his aunt's place now, and the delay is too long.

On the second day, Hongqin: "I met the eldest lady, but the eldest lady said it was inconvenient, so please ask me to tell you something."

Dong Wenyi turned around in a hurry, why cousin Yingyu didn't want to come?

Could it be that it was too abrupt when meeting for the first time?

Dong Wenyi was a little annoyed, if only he had restrained himself at that time.

It's just too hard.

Thinking of the scene in his dream, Dong Wenyi shuddered, and his heart felt even more itchy: "Sister, are you still willing to run for me again and deliver a letter to her for me." Following these words, there are two little Jin Ingots.

Hongqin: "..."

Send letters privately?This is a taboo!

She froze, but smiled on her face: "...I'll try."

She would never try it, if she did, she would not be able to stay in the Lin Mansion.

As soon as Dong Wenyi left, the letter was in Yun Shuyao's hands.

Yun Shuyao opened the letter with a sneer, and after opening it, sure enough, the letter was full of words of admiration and praise.

The ending was his goal, and he asked Yingyu to meet tomorrow to express his sincere feelings.

There is also a meaning that if Yingyu doesn't go, he will wait forever.

Yun Shuyao put the letter back as it was, and it would be safer if the matter was snuffed out in the cradle.

Although Yingyu was not born by her, she was the one who watched her grow up. The relationship between the two sisters is good. Seeing that she is being missed by others, but in such a disrespectful way, Yun Shuyao also feels uncomfortable.

In this era, giving and receiving privately is definitely not a good word, and this world is more harsh on women. If it is spread, it is just a harmless word for men, but it is humiliating and undisciplined for women. , Other people's pointing can ruin a girl.

And in Yun Shuyao's view, they were not a match.

She had heard Chen Yu mention that as the host, he entertained this cousin, but the other party was just like other spoiled dandies who couldn't sit still, lacked interest in reading, liked to eat, drink and have fun. None of the maids serving were unattractive.

And if he really likes Yingyu, he should propose marriage seriously.

But the old lady loves her granddaughter very much, so she can't fail to see what kind of person this nephew is. Not a good person.

Turning around, Yun Shuyao asked someone to come over and invite Lin Ruhai to come.

Yun Shuyao seldom invites people, and basically they are always on business.

Lin Ruhai came over after finishing her work.

Then he looked at the few gold ingots and the letter, and the breath around him suddenly cooled down.

His mother told him that he rejected his cousin's marriage proposal, and he thought it was over like this, but now it seems that this kid has not given up, come on!

He took the letter away, and Jin Yuanbao gave it to Hong Qin: "You did a good job, take these."

He looked at Yun Shuyao with a smile: "I know about this matter, I will handle it well, thanks to Shu Yao this time."

If there were really other little maids who were bribed and swayed to pass on the letter, and if they said it, the hat of private giving and receiving would be covered.

Yun Shuyao sighed: "Yingyu has been wronged this time."

When the old lady saw the letter, her heart suddenly became angry.

He also used bribery to bribe the maid of the Lin family, what did he want to do!

There is still a letter, an appointment...

The old lady didn't want to think of her nephew and grandson in a bad direction, but she was not optimistic when she thought of her niece bringing up the marriage again.

So Chenyu asked Dong Wenyi for a drink.

It's best to talk when you're drunk.

It's just that the words came out, but Chen Yu was not happy at all.

I feel extremely disgusted.

Whether it's that dream, or the dirty thoughts of this cousin.

If it weren't for the self-control, I really wanted to beat him up and throw him out.

The old lady knew it, and she laughed angrily: "I was worried that he would be spoiled too much by his mother, and if he didn't strictly control him in the future, he might be a disaster. Learn a good lesson, I, the elder, will do the first big somersault."

Lin Ruhai readily accepted his mother's suggestion, so Dong Wenyi was taken to the flower building.

He didn't understand this truth, so someone would teach him.

When Dong Wenyi woke up drunk, he found that something was wrong.

My hands and feet were tied to the bed with my hands and feet wide open. I had no clothes on my body. The room was unfamiliar and there was no one there. I was panicking when suddenly a few women with naked clothes opened the door and walked in with a smile. The closer he got, "Ah, this handsome young gentleman is waiting for my servant?"

Dong Wenyi's body suddenly trembled: "You, who are you, let me go, let me go out, do you know who my father is, who is my uncle, if you let me go, I can promise you to let the past go, don't let me go!" ! Don't come here—”

For such a pampered young master, no matter what happened to him, even if he didn't really do anything, he would almost be scared out of his wits this night.

When I went back, I cried like a fool, and would just nest in my mother's arms and shiver.

Xie Ruozhen was angry: "Cousin, what's going on?"

Lin Ruhai said lightly: "What's the matter? You can ask your good son, relatives, you can take care of yourself."

Xie Ruozhen looked at his trembling son as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head, what did he do?

To make my cousin so angry regardless of his relatives?

On the second day, the Dong family left the Lin residence in despair.

Jing Huan saw this scene through the mirror, frowned his exquisite brows, and sighed softly, this person is really useless.

She didn't have much hope, though.

She looked at the healthy old lady and Lin Ruhai in the mirror, with a little smile on her face, it doesn't matter, she still has time to plan slowly, as long as something happens to the Lin family before the fairy grass grows up, the fairy grass can still grow up with Baoyu ,Achieve their goals.

The figure in the mirror flashed, and it was Aunt Mei, who was happily holding a string of Buddhist beads.

This is a good thing she got with great difficulty. It is the Buddhist beads in the hands of Guanyin, which is very effective. It is said that as long as she worships devoutly for 21 days, she can conceive a son as she wishes.

One month later, Aunt Mei's menstruation stopped. After smelling the smell of fish soup, she vomited it out. She was taken aback for a moment, and then she was overjoyed: "I'm happy?!"

The maid serving beside her was also overjoyed, and hurried to invite Dr. Zhou.

It's just that Doctor Zhou felt his pulse for a long time, and his brows slowly wrinkled.

At first, he also thought it was a happy pulse, but when he was about to announce the happy news, he thought that the situation of the Lin family's heirs was relatively difficult, so he could not be too cautious, so he didn't announce the happy pulse immediately, and finally found something wrong.

It's like a slippery pulse, but it's a little strange.
