Family Has a Concubine

After Lu Zhi walked around outside with a look on her face, she returned to Chu's house.

Yixiangyuan——

Qin and Chu Miaoshu were sitting in the room drinking tea, Nanny Ding was standing aside, not knowing what to say, Chu Miaoshu blushed tenderly.

Luzhi opened the beaded curtain and walked in: "Ma'am, the word has already been delivered."

Chu Miaoshu snorted softly: "Did they find all kinds of excuses not to come?"

"Not really." Green Branch said.

"Don't worry, madam and eldest girl. After all, they are placed outside. They are brothers and sisters-in-law. How could they not come? If they dare not come, other people's spittle will drown them." Nanny Ding smiled. explain.

This time the crown prince accepted the side concubine with great momentum, and the crown prince also deliberately exaggerated his relationship with Chu Yunpan, but he invited anyone who had a bit of face. Chu Yunpan and his wife had to come if they didn't want to.

Prince Liang Mansion——

In the dining room of Pingting Xiaozhu, a row of maids stood neatly in a row.

Liang Wang and Zhao Yingqi are eating.

When King Liang put down his chopsticks, Zhao Yingqi glanced at him quietly. Seeing his indifferent expression as usual, she felt a little timid, but thinking of Ye Tangcai, she still summoned up her courage and said in a low voice, "My lord."

"How?" Liang Wang's charming eyes swept over coldly.

"In two days, the crown prince wants to accept a side concubine. It's a big deal..." Then he lowered his eyes, "I, I want to go too..."

Originally thought that King Liang would definitely scold her, but he didn't think that King Liang said in a nonchalant manner: "Oh, you can go if you like!"

"Really?" Zhao Yingqi couldn't believe it, but this time he was so cheerful, maybe he was in a good mood recently! Thinking about it, Zhao Yingqi felt a little happy.

After eating in a while, Zhao Yingqi threw herself on the bed after washing and grooming, and took out her small embroidered basket from the quilt, which was full of strings.

She picked it up and counted it, one two cents, ten twenty cents, such a big bag, she would have a lot of money soon.

When I leave the palace, I will make this every day, then I will have something to eat, and then I will play with Sister Tang every day.

As for how to get out of the palace, she didn't think much about it. But there are always such thoughts and dreams, and then I will be happy when I have hope in my life.

King Liang walked in and saw her rolling around happily on the bed, a pair of sharp phoenix eyes flashed the cold light, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips.

Secretly raising tortoises at home, secretly playing with these and others, gave birth to so many ideas. I never liked to go out before, but now I want to go out every day!

There are too many messy things in her world, she is getting more and more disobedient!

Hearing the footsteps, Zhao Yingqi was startled, she had forgotten that today is fifteen.

She quickly stopped rolling, and lay down quietly, hiding her bag in the corner of the bed, and looked at him timidly: "My lord."

...

Chu Miaoshu left the pavilion on October 20.

On October 19th, Ye Tangcai and Chu Yunpan came back to Chu's house. After all, they were brothers and sisters-in-law. The younger sister was out of the cabinet, so naturally they had to come back to help take care of things, and they couldn't come back the next day like guests.

In Yixiang Courtyard, Mrs. Qin, Uncle Chu and Jiang Xinxue were discussing the details of tomorrow, and even Aunt Bai and Aunt Fei, Chu Congke and Miaohua were called by Mrs. Qin.

It's not that they want to discuss with them, but now that Chu Miaoshu is in the spotlight, he naturally has to pull everyone over to have a closer look at how beautiful they are.

"The third master and the third grandma are back." Luye shouted outside.

The curtain of the flowers blooming with prosperity clanged and was lifted, and Chu Yunpan and Ye Tangcai walked in together.

Seeing the dignified appearance of the two, Qin felt uncomfortable, but when she thought that Chu Miaoshu would soon marry into the royal family and become a nobleman, she felt better again: "You are back."

"Father, mother." The two greeted each other.

"Hehe, sit down!" Uncle Chu smiled when he saw the two of them.

Seeing the two of them taking their seats, Mrs. Qin couldn't help but think of Ye Tang's dowry of thirty thousand taels, so she turned her head and said to Jiang Xinxue, "After lunch, you can ask someone to move your eldest sister's dowry to her yard. .Those things are heavy and plentiful, with a total of more than 40,000 taels of silver. I don’t know when they will be moved.”

The prince accepted the side concubine, and he couldn't follow the normal three letters and six rituals, but he still gave a heavy dowry.

The crown prince wanted to praise Chu Miaoshu and wanted to give her more things, but the crown prince's regulations were on top of her and she couldn't go over it, so she was inferior and gave her a full twenty-eight thousand taels of silver.

In order for her daughter to gain a foothold in the Prince's Mansion, and also for the sake of the scenery, the Qin family wanted to have a scene of red makeup, so they spent all their money and dowry all the prince's betrothal gifts back. There was also some dowry left by the Qin family before, and what was saved from gifts to the Chu family from outside during this period, which were also given to Chu Miaoshu, a total of more than 40,000 taels of silver.

When Jiang Xinxue heard the dowry count, she felt a shock in her heart.

Her own dowry was only a few hundred taels of silver, and Ye Tangcai's 30,000 taels had already made her jealous and unbalanced. Now that the sister-in-law who didn't get along with her suddenly cost more than 40,000 taels, Jiang Xinxue felt so sad.

He also thought that for Chu Miaoshu, the Qin family had spent all his family money, so he was naturally unhappy. It was originally supposed to belong to their eldest wife, but now it was given to Chu Miaoshu as a dowry!

But now that the Chu family is up, and she is still the daughter of that poor family, she has been disliked and underestimated by her mother-in-law many times, so she dare not say more.

"Talk to you?" Qin looked at Jiang Xinxue.

"Yes." Jiang Xinxue came back to her senses and hurriedly agreed.

"The big girl is really beautiful, but she needs ten miles of red makeup!" Aunt Fei praised quickly.

Qin's heart fluttered: "It's all because His Royal Highness loves Sister Shu very much."

In the past, Qin and Aunt Fei never dealt with each other, and Qin was on guard against Aunt Fei and Chu Congke all day long, preventing them from taking Chu Feiyang's position as the eldest son.

But now, Chu Yun has climbed up, they have a common enemy, and they are unanimous in the outside world, and Chu Miaoshu is married, it is already impossible for Chu Congke to want to be in the top position. Aunt Fei stopped thinking completely.

The conflict between the Qin family and Aunt Fei was resolved, and Aunt Fei wanted to rely on Chu Miaoshu to find a good marriage for Chu Congke, so she flattered her in everything.

"That's not true." Aunt Fei said with a smile. "In the past, I heard that the third grandma's dowry is enough, but I didn't expect that our eldest daughter has more. This is a total of three hundred and sixty-four sets, right? This is a lot of red makeup."

"Oh, there are too many things, and the number of units can only be increased." Qin laughed, not to mention how proud she was.

Ye Tangcai watched them flirting and teasing, drinking tea slowly, with a slight smile on the corner of her lips. It will take a while for them to know that official face slaps are the scariest thing!

"Tomorrow's business will be the same as before, and I will leave it to Dalang's wife, Mrs. Ye..." Mrs. Qin glanced at Ye Tangcai as she spoke, and said with a smile, "You are young, but now you are also the matriarch of the family. If you want to learn how to take care of things, then follow your sister-in-law and watch people move the dowry!"

"Okay!" Ye Tangcai smiled, "Third Master, let's take a look together."

Chu Yunpan nodded.

"Hahaha, set the meal first!" Uncle Chu laughed, "Green leaf, set the meal!"

The green leaf outside agreed, then turned and went out.

Several people turned around and left the Xici room, and came to the small dining room, where two tables were set up.

After everyone had eaten, they were ready to move the dowry for Chu Miaoshu.

The Qin family had just agreed that Jiang Xinxue would be in charge, but now she ran over to direct her. Not only did she run over by herself, she also had to ask Aunt Bai and others to follow her.

What Aunt Bai and the others didn't understand, in fact, they just said in the room that there was nothing, just to show off, and they also laughed and echoed.

Chu Miaoshu's dowry was originally piled up in the small courtyard next to it, but now they are moved to Chu Miaoshu's courtyard one by one.

When everyone came to the courtyard where Chu Miaoshu lived, Qin ordered the maid to move things one by one to Chu Miaoshu's courtyard. A lacquer box with bright red flowers tied with silk cloth.

"Hey——" At this time, a middle-aged man in a green official robe ran over from a distance. When he saw Chu Yunpan and Ye Tangcai, his eyes lit up and he immediately saluted: "Your official, see Zhenxihou , I met Madam Zhenxihou."

"No." Chu Yunpan said flatly.

The person in the green robe is none other than the official who was sent to Chu's house to help prepare for Chu Miaoshu's departure from the cabinet.

After Master Wu saw Chu Yunpan, he saluted Uncle Chu and Mrs. Qin again.

Mrs. Qin snorted lightly, and said with a smile, "Master Wu, have you finished your meal?"

"Madam Xie is worried, she has already used it." Mr. Wu said with a smile. Because Chu Miaoshu was about to get married, Mr. Wu stayed at Chu's house for two days.

"This is..." Mr. Wu looked into the yard, and when he saw the dazzling array of dowry in the yard, tied with red silk, his expression changed, and he smiled embarrassingly: "Ma'am, this dowry is not right..."

"What's wrong?" Qin frowned.

Master Wu said with a smile: "there is still a princess on the top, this regulation cannot be overstepped. The regulatory dowry of the princess is three hundred and twenty-eight, and the concubine's dowry has to be reduced to two hundred and twenty-eight. Moreover, Even if it is the total amount of dowry, it cannot exceed that of the Crown Princess! At that time, the Crown Princess was thirty-eight thousand taels."

Qin's face darkened. Because these words reminded that even a side concubine is still a concubine.

Master Wu was not afraid when he saw Qin's expression of displeasure, and added: "And... the silk flowers on it can't be red, only pink."

Qin Shi glared at Chief Wu coldly: "That's the emperor's request for marriage!"

"The crown princess is also the emperor's finger to marry." Chief Wu said on his face, he had already scolded the Qin family hundreds of times in his heart.

"Sanlang, please talk to the principal, or if you can't, talk to the Ministry of Rites." Qin looked at Chu Yunpan. "We can discuss it with the emperor."

Chu Yunpan glanced at her indifferently, and smiled: "Mother, stop making trouble, okay? Just do what you want, why do you have to do something out of line?"

Qin's face turned green and pale one after another, and she naturally knew that although she was a concubine, she was a concubine, and she was the first class of dwarves. The number of tables and dowries cannot be exceeded, and silk flowers cannot be used in Zhenghong.

But in her heart, her daughter is different. She is favored by the emperor, married by the emperor, and loved by the prince. Moreover, Chu Yunpan has made great military achievements, and the emperor also values ​​Chu Yunpan and the entire Chu family.

Therefore, even if they are more restrained, everyone should turn a blind eye and close one eye, so as to overwhelm the crown princess.

How could he have thought that this is what Wuzhu is about, he is just a low-rank official, and he dared to say such a big truth, pointing it out to his face.

Qin was so angry that Chu Yunpan didn't stand by them!

Qin really couldn't lose face, so she looked at Uncle Chu: "Master, look at Sanlang, do you still think of me as your mother? Do you still think of Sister Shu as your younger sister?"

"Uh..." Uncle Chu was speechless for a while, he didn't know what to say, he also wanted Chu Miaoshu to marry well, but Saburo seemed very embarrassed...

"What does mother mean, let me use power to suppress others?" Chu Yunpan sneered, "It's just a side concubine, a concubine, who wants to step on someone else's concubine? Why doesn't mother allow Aunt Fei and Aunt Bai to wear red?"

Qin's choked, she was so shocked, why would she let those two concubines wear red!

However, thinking that Chu Miaoshu can be regarded as a concubine... the whole person is not well.

Director Wu let out a sigh of relief as he watched from the sidelines, he had never seen such shamelessness.

Qin's anger became angry, she glared at Jiang Xinxue and said coldly: "Look, I leave the matter to you, and you made it like this?"

Jiang Xinxue's face turns blue and white, what the hell! It was said earlier that someone would cook, but she actually did it herself! Now it's someone else's cooking.

But now, I can only admit it, and just say: "I will demolish it now."

"Do it well for me!" Qin Shi didn't have the face to be stupefied, turned around and left in a hurry.

This is to make up for yesterday's second update, you guys?
