Chapter 100 Going to great lengths to be a concubine
"Girl, madam, go to the river to wash your face and refresh yourself." Lonicera said, "My maid saw some red fruits in the woods over there. I will pick some to quench my thirst on the way."
"Banxia, take good care of the girl and your wife." After turning around and telling Banxia, Lonicera walked towards the forest not far away.
It seemed that Lonicera had gone to the woods, but in fact she walked around the edge of the woods to see who was sitting in the carriage that stopped after them.
From a distance, Liandong could see clearly that they were the mother and daughter from the Su family in the old capital.
Su Shi washed her face and went back to the car, while Zhou Sining kept walking by the river. She knew what Lonicera was doing, and she was waiting for Lonicera to come back.
After waiting for a while, Honeysuckle came back with a handful of bright red fruits. While washing them in the river, he whispered to Zhou Sining.
"Girl, following us are the mother and daughter from the Su family in the old capital."
Zhou Sining's eyes darkened. Did the mother and daughter of the Su family in the old capital plan to quietly follow them to Beijing, and then enter the Zhou family in the name of in-laws?
"Huh? Why are there only Su Qiong and her daughter, but Su Wen is not here?"
Lonicera nodded and said, "Not here. Apart from the mother and daughter, there is only one coachman."
Coachman.
Zhou Sining and Liandong looked at each other, both of them thought of the same problem. It was impossible for Su Wen to let her mother and sister go on the road, and she couldn't follow them openly, so she had to pretend to be a coachman.
"My maid, go take another look." Lonicera handed the washed fruit to Zhou Sining, turned around and left.
"No need, let them follow." Zhou Sining pursed his lips and said: "When we get to the town ahead, let's take my grandfather's name card and go to Guanyi to see how they can follow.
And don’t tell your wife, lest she get upset."
After the Zhou family's carriage drove into the official post, Su Qiong and her daughter, who were following behind, glanced at the sky through the carriage curtain and saw that it was still early.
Got in.
But as soon as they entered the inn, the Zhou family's carriage drove out from the official post again and continued on its way out of the city.
The next day, Su Qiong and her daughter woke up, parked the carriage outside the official post, and waited while having breakfast. However, after waiting for most of the day, they did not see the Zhou family's carriage coming out. They became a little anxious, so Mrs. Su asked the coachman to
I went to ask the postman and found out that the Zhou family's carriage just entered the official post yesterday and left for a spin, without staying at all.
At this time, Su Qiong and her daughter were dumbfounded.
"Mother, what should we do now? We have never been to the capital, and we are not familiar with the roads. But this road is full of mountains and rivers. I don't know if there is any danger. It's just the two of us..." Su Qiong swallowed.
Drooling, he said: "How about we go back to Liuzhou? We may not be anxious if our second brother is missing."
Mrs. Su from the old capital said: "Don't worry, mother left a letter for your second brother. He knows that we followed the Zhou family's carriage to the capital, so he won't be in a hurry."
Su Qiong was about to cry, "If we followed the Zhou family's carriage and horses, we would be safe, but now we don't know where the Zhou family's carriage and horses have gone..."
Mrs. Su from the old capital said without giving up: "What are you afraid of? There is only one official road from here to the capital. They were riding a carriage. It was impossible to abandon the official road and take a small road.
Although they didn't stay overnight at Guanyi, they still need to rest. Let's hurry up and catch up as soon as possible."
Su Qiong:……
She wanted to go back to Liuzhou to find her second brother. She wanted to go back to her own home in the old capital. If she was rushing to be a concubine in the Zhou family, she might as well marry into the Huang family. Although Mr. Huang was a bit dandy, he was tall.
She is not bad, and she treats her with enthusiasm. As long as she takes advantage of this enthusiasm and wins the man in one fell swoop, she will not necessarily have a worse life than anyone else in the future.
Su Qiong wanted to say what would happen if they caught up with them? What if they followed them all the way to the capital? The Zhou family would not marry if they didn't want to. But seeing her mother's determination to never give up until she achieved her goal, she closed her eyes.
He tightened his mouth and said no more.
Before dark, Su Qiong's mother and daughter's carriage caught up with the Zhou family's carriage.
In fact, they were not the ones who caught up with them, but the Zhou family's carriage stopped and waited in front. Zhou Sining thought about it and thought that if she dumped Su Qiong and her daughter, they would be alone and lost, and they would never meet again.
Danger, then this crime is hers.
So she decided to stop the car and wait for half a day. If they continued to chase regardless of the danger, she would talk to them and settle the matter completely. It would be best if they retreated and returned to Liuzhou.
"Sister Qiong, that's the Zhou family's carriage in front of you." Mrs. Su from the old capital said in surprise.
Su Qiong lifted the car curtain and looked out, then said, "Mom, let's get down, Zhou Sining is coming over."
When they got closer, Zhou Sining bowed first and then said, "Let's talk."
Mrs. Su from the old capital raised her eyebrows and said, "What are you talking about? What can you, a sister in a boudoir, talk about? You have the final say in the affairs of the Zhou family?"
Zhou Sining smiled and said, "What I said won't count, but I can tell you what I know, and then you can decide for yourself how to go next."
Seeing that Su Qiong and her daughter were both pursed their lips and waiting to hear the next words, Zhou Sining said straight to the point: "Open the skylight and speak frankly. You are following us like this just because you want to find a way to let Su Qiong into the Zhou family after entering Beijing. To be honest,
, based on the background of the Su family in the old capital, Su Qiong can only join the Zhou family as a maid and concubine."
Mrs. Su from the old capital said: "We, Sister Qiong, didn't originally want to live in the first wife's house."
Zhou Sining said: "Then have you ever thought about the consequences of being a maid and concubine? Although the Su family in the old capital has declined since our ancestors, it was once barely a noble family. So you know that in a wealthy family, a maid and concubine is actually a slave.
Not much better than a maid.
First of all, if the mistress doesn't like it, she can either find a provocation and kill her, or she can make a mistake and sell her.
Secondly, the concubine's natal family is not an in-law, and her natal family cannot visit the house at will. To put it bluntly, even if Su Qiong becomes her brother's concubine, the Su family in the old capital is not an in-law of the Zhou family. Not only is it not an in-law of the Zhou family, but also in the future.
You should also keep your head low in front of the Liuzhou Su family.
Don't look at me like that, because your daughter is my brother's concubine and a slave of my Zhou family. And the Liuzhou Su family is my mother's natal family. Why should a concubine's slave's natal family be the same as the head wife?
Are they comparable to their natal families? Naturally, they have to be distinguished in terms of status.
Furthermore, concubines can also be given to each other among colleagues. What do you mean by this expression? The old capital, the place you live in is the old capital. Honorable nobles have the habit of giving each other concubines, singers and concubines. Don’t say that.
Don't you know?
It's like saying that my brother's Shangguan is walking around the house, takes a fancy to you, and asks for it. How dare you not give it to him as a gift? After all, maids and concubines are just toys..."
