[Red Mansion] Ronghua Road of Mrs. Hou's Mansion

The king of Nan'an was not only defeated, but also captured. He needed to send his sister to marry him before the feudal kingdom would release him.

"King Nan'an only has this younger sister, even if he is willing to let Yi'an county master go to marry him for his own life, Princess Nan'an will not bear it?"

Gu Xingchi smiled mockingly, "She is naturally reluctant to marry her only daughter away, but King Nan'an is also her son, so she can only sacrifice someone else's daughter."

Gu Qiongju grinned, "Look at the high-spirited appearance of Yi'an County Mistress before, now it's her turn to make a kiss, let's see how proud she is."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Don't be too happy, I heard that Concubine Nan'an is looking for a suitable family everywhere, and wants to choose a girl to be adopted as a foster daughter, and go to marry instead of Yi'an County Lord."

Gu Qiongju sneered, "I've seen a shameless person, but I've never seen such a shameless one. Her daughter is a treasure, and the daughter of someone else's family is blown by the strong wind? She doesn't even bother to look at the girl on weekdays, but now If they are useful, they will rush over to adopt her as a righteous daughter, dare to let her take all the benefits in the world, and let others suffer all the suffering they should suffer, why?"

Sister Feng shook her head and smiled lightly: "The world is so big, not all parents love their daughters very much. If Concubine Nan'an promises enough benefits, it's not like no one is willing to send her daughter to sacrifice. Since we want to get married, naturally we can't choose a small family. Concubine Nan'an is not qualified to ask those high-ranking families to send out their concubine daughters. Therefore, they can only choose the concubine daughters of rich families. For some families, there are several concubine daughters in the family, and one more is not too many. There are quite a few, and it can also win benefits for the family, so why not do it?"

Gu Qiongju was even more annoyed, "Although she is a concubine, she is also Jiao Didi's daughter's family. Life is not as good as that of a concubine, but when something happens, she will be the first to be pushed out. I was sacrificed, and no one else Enjoying the glory without guilt is really... so unfair."

Sister Feng smiled faintly, "As long as both parties can benefit, who cares about a concubine's life?"

"I have always disliked Concubine Nan'an's behavior, and now I hate her even more. It's really selfish."

Sister Feng said: "Since you have enjoyed the glory and wealth, you should know the risks behind the glory. But some people, who are used to enjoying the glory and wealth, feel that those risks should be borne by others, so they push others into the fire pit without guilt. At a time like this, what else can a woman who has no power to protect herself do but accept her fate?"

Gu Qiongju took a bite of the pastry and said: "Sister-in-law, I also heard that Daiyu is actually the best candidate for Concubine Nan'an, because Daiyu is very talented and beautiful, and she is indeed very suitable to be a princess. But now Daiyu is a girl with both parents, and she has the Lin family and the Chen family as backers, if she really dares to go to the Lin family to speak out, I'm afraid she will have to be kicked out according to Mrs. Lin's strong temper."

"Grand Concubine Nan'an is a little arrogant, but she is not stupid. She knows that there are noble ladies in the capital that she can't touch."

Gu Qiongju wiped his mouth, "If you want me to say, it was King Nan'an who caused this situation. If it wasn't for ransoming him back, would it be necessary to sacrifice someone else's girl?"

Sister Feng smiled and said, "You're right. But what mother is willing to let her son suffer, Princess Nan'an did this out of love for her son."

Back at Yusheng Residence, Sister Feng was carefully supported by Gu Xingchi to sit on the soft bed, and found a comfortable position to lean on.

Although Gu Xingchi didn't like this son who had been competing with him since he was born, but seeing that Sister Feng was having a difficult pregnancy, he still took care of him carefully.

He asked Sister Feng to wait, and Shaoqing came back again, took out a paper bag from behind, and opened the contents for Sister Feng.

"Try it, I just ordered someone to buy it from Linjiang Pavilion, it's still hot."

Sister Feng was dumbfounded, "Pig trotters?"

Gu Xingchi smiled and said, "Didn't you really like to eat last time when you were pregnant, so I asked someone to buy it for you."

Looking at the two pig's trotters, Sister Feng suddenly felt a little nauseous, and quickly waved her hand, "I don't like to eat it now, take it away quickly."

Seeing this, Gu Xingchi hastily took the pig's trotter away and kept it far away from her.He leaned over and was about to ask her what was wrong, when she heard her say disgustedly: "Go further away, as soon as you get close to me, you can smell meat, it's so bad."

Gu Xingchi: "..."

He sniffed his sleeves, but he didn't feel the smell of meat, but he stayed away obediently, his eyes were full of resentment.

In order to be close to his fragrant and soft wife, he still decided to take a bath and came back soon.Wait until the water vapor on your body dissipates before walking over.

Only then was she satisfied, and she smiled and asked him to sit down.

As the weather got hotter, she also changed into light clothes like other women, and her figure became more and more slim and exquisite.

She rested her chin on one hand, her posture was lazy, her eyes were bent, and she looked at him with a smile.Gu Xingchi suddenly felt a little hot, shifted his position indistinctly, and said, "Are you tired, do you want to sleep for a while?"

Sister Feng shook her head, "Not sleepy."

"Why don't I find some scripts for you to read?" Gu Xingchi thought for a while.

"No, I suddenly have a question for you."

"What's the matter?"

Sister Feng stared at him and asked, "If you were the king of Nan'an County who was defeated and captured, what would you do?"

Gu Xingchi chuckled: "How do you know that I will definitely be defeated?"

"I mean if, you answer me quickly." Sister Feng urged.

Gu Xingchi thought for a moment, and said seriously: "Naturally, we should find a way to escape first. If we really can't escape, instead of being humiliated, it is better to commit suicide. It can be regarded as a reputation for dying for the country."

Sister Feng was obviously shocked, "Suicide?"

Gu Xingchi said calmly: "If you don't commit suicide, do you want to linger on and sacrifice a weak woman in exchange for your own life and freedom? But any general with some backbone will not do this. However, he still has his wife in mind. Son, but with the reputation of sacrificing one's life for the country, His Majesty must treat his family well."

Sister Feng did not take her eyes off his face, and remained silent.

Gu Xingchi smiled and squeezed her hand, "Why did the enemy capture the opponent's general but not kill him? Doesn't the King of Nan'an not know?"

Sister Feng said: "Use it as a hostage to threaten the other party to surrender?"

"However, the king of Nan'an County has already been defeated, and the vassal state did not kill him. Perhaps it was to seek benefits from the Dajing Dynasty. But no matter what, isn't this a humiliation to our court? Do you think you want to redeem Nan'an?" Wang, is it that simple that the feudal kingdom only asks for a marriage? Not to mention anything else, money is essential. But Nan'an County Wang knew that he would have to pay too much to return to Dajing, but he was still alive in the feudal kingdom. He lost the battle It is already incompetent, and now it is even more cowardly to ask people to find a way to redeem him.

Is it worth paying so much for such a coward?As long as he has a bit of backbone, as long as he thinks about the future, he should commit suicide in shame and indignation.This is not indifference, but what he should do. All his splendor and glory are given by the royal family. If so, he should be loyal to the country. In the face of the righteousness of his family and country, what is his fate worth?Wouldn't he be ashamed to trade the life of a weak woman for his? "

Sister Feng sneered, "With Nan'an's temperament, even if he is not defeated, he will make people open the city gates and surrender to the enemy for his own life."

But Gu Xingchi's words really surprised her.In the past, she only thought that Gu Xingchi was a son of an aristocratic family, the marquis of a noble family, but she never imagined that he had such a loyal side.Thinking about it this way, the young masters of the Jia family are even worse than him.

"Since his life is not worth saving, why should he be saved? According to the current situation, he would be better off dead than alive. Or...was abandoned by His Majesty."

Gu Xingchi was a little surprised, "What did you think of?"

"I want to do good deeds." Sister Feng said with a smile, "Your Majesty has long been displeased with those families who only occupy titles and receive benefits, but only know how to sit and enjoy the glory and act mischievously. Your Majesty may not think about it in several county palaces." If that’s the case, why don’t we help His Majesty and save the girl who is about to be dragged out to get married? In this way, the national treasury can be enriched, right?”

Gu Xingchi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Let's listen."

"Collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, what do you think of this crime?"

Ever since the news of Nan'an County King's defeat came, Concubine Nan'an could no longer be proud, and the wife she used to communicate with did not come to the door, for fear of being implicated by her, and even more afraid that her daughter would be spotted by her, and then went to and pro.

Concubine Nan'an's righteous woman is naturally selected carefully, but the person she is optimistic about can't move at all, so she can only settle for the next best thing.

Soon, she thought of the Jia family.Now that Yuanchun has fallen out of favor, the Jia family has no patrons, and it is no longer as beautiful as before. As long as she reveals this meaning, the Jia family will definitely not refuse.

Therefore, she communicated with Jia's family in advance, and after the arrangements were made, she was ready to go to Rongguo Mansion to recognize her adopted daughter.

The county magistrate of Yi'an frowned: "Why is she a concubine? A concubine who has fallen into the government is also worthy to take my place as a marriage partner? If she becomes a concubine and annoys the people in the feudal kingdom, wouldn't it be embarrassing to me?"

Concubine Nan'an said: "It's about our family's face. Naturally, I want to find a girl who is outstanding in everything to replace you, but I need someone else to be willing."

The county head of Yi'an took it for granted: "Our family is the county king, you are the concubine, and I am the county head. How dare they reject us?"

Concubine Nan'an has always spoiled this only daughter, but now she feels that Yi'an is spoiled too much, and she can't see the truth clearly.It's good that someone is willing to marry for her, but she still picks and chooses?

Concubine Nan'an felt bitter when she thought about the situation at home.She sighed and said: "At this point, saving your brother is the most important thing, don't pick and choose. Even if His Majesty bestows a marriage, you have to consider whether he is willing, let alone our family? "

County Lord Yi'an is spoiled too much, she always feels that she has a noble status, she can do whatever she wants, and no one else can resist.Therefore, now she still feels that it is flattering others to have someone marry instead of her.

Concubine Nan'an was afraid that there would be more troubles with the Yi'an County Lord, so she took people to Rongguo Mansion by herself.

But before he walked out of the gate, a group of officers and soldiers surrounded the gate.

Concubine Nan'an didn't know why, so she put on airs like a concubine and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"
