There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Whether Aunt Lin likes it or not, it is a done deal for the new Aunt Liu to live in Shuangxin Courtyard.

As for the two concubines, Mrs. Li didn't want to see more of them, so she ordered Aunt Lin to go back and clean up the room, and then assigned two maids to Mrs. Liu, and let them go down.

Seeing Aunt Lin reluctantly but helplessly leaving, Daohua smiled and sat down beside Mrs. Li: "Mother, what's going on with that Aunt Liu? Didn't my father go to the banquet? Why did you bring back a woman?"

Mrs. Li glanced at her daughter, thought about it, and felt that some things should still be told to her daughter, so as not to get married in the future, if the same thing happens, the charter will be lost.

"That Liu family was given to your father by Senator Du, who used to be in the backyard of Du's house."

Daohua was stunned for a while, and then she asked with wide eyes, "Aunt Liu used to be Senator Du's concubine?"

Mrs. Li was silent for a while. It is not easy to talk about the matter in this man's room with her daughter now. She can only say vaguely: "The room should have not been taken."

Daohua's face was speechless: "Even so, that's why you should panic! I think that Senator Du really has a hole in his mind." Well, men are very sensitive to green, and this was presented in a grand manner.

Mrs. Li: "." Daughter's reaction, she understands, but doesn't she understand?

Daohua asked again: "Okay, why did Senator Du think of giving his father a concubine?"

Mrs. Li sneered: "Do you know why your father has been the county magistrate for nine years?"

Daohua understood in seconds: "Because of this Senator Du?"

Mrs. Li nodded: "When your father was just assigned to Zhongzhou Province, he offended this Senator Du inadvertently, and then he was stubbornly suppressed by him." As she spoke, she touched Daohua's head, laughed.

"The old lady said that you are the lucky star in the family. If it weren't for your chance to save the little prince, your father would not be able to turn over in his life."

"This time, the matter of wheat seed was reported to the imperial court by the Governor-General. Today, the emperor attaches great importance to Nongsang. Your father is going to leave his name with the emperor."

"Whether or not your father will be reused in the future, in short, it is not easy to make bad friends. So, through this banquet, Senator Du took some officials and stuffed Liu Shi who was with him to your father."

"If your father doesn't accept it, he just doesn't want to reconcile. With so many people watching, what can your dad do? You have to accept it."

Daohua is speechless: "This Senator Du's brain is really not very bright. He has many ways to reconcile. Why does he have to send a concubine? Isn't it bad to send something else, such as gold and silver calligraphy and painting? It's not too small. Concubine is more practical?"

Mrs. Li sighed and said slightly sarcastically: "It's so vulgar to send gold and silver calligraphy and painting. If someone who has a heart knows it, maybe it will be said to be bribes, but the concubine is different."

"Some men usually take one or two young and beautiful concubines with them when they are entertaining in foreign affairs. In their opinion, giving concubines to each other is an elegant thing. How can something yellow and white be comparable."

"Do you know what Aunt Liu is from? It was a Yangzhou thin horse bought at a high price. Listening to your father's tone, many officials wanted to ask for it from Senator Du, but Senator Du didn't give it."

"."

Daohua didn't know what to say, but felt her heart pounded.

In this ancient times, the status of women was really too low, giving each other like goods.

The good mood that had surged up because of Aunt Lin's unhappiness before disappeared in an instant.

"That being said, Aunt Liu is quite pitiful."

Mrs. Li's eyes drooped, and she said lightly, "As long as she keeps herself safe, the Yan family will give her a bowl of rice to eat."

Inoka sighed.

Seeing her daughter's whole face wrinkled like a little old lady, Mrs. Li was amused: "Okay, you just need to know about these things, you don't need to worry about it here."

After he finished speaking, he stopped talking, glanced at the sky, and waved to Ping Xiao: "Go to Shuangxin Courtyard to see how the house is tidying up? Tell Aunt Lin that it must be done before it gets dark."

"Yes."

Seeing Ping Xiao leave, Daohua was distracted: "Concubine Liu lives in Shuangxinyuan now, so Master Lin will not be able to come in and out casually in the future, right?"

Shuangxinyuan.

Concubine Lin watched with an ugly face as the maid went in and out to clean up the west wing, and what made her panic even more was Mrs. Liu, who was standing in the yard.

Especially seeing Liu's beautiful face as well as her younger and more enchanting body than her.

Since entering the Yan Mansion, although she has heard many concubines go to great lengths to compete for a little favor, she has never experienced it.

There are only the wife and her in the master's room. The wife is from a business background, and she is a little more dignified. It is not as good as she is to be favored by the master.

Over the years, apart from being a concubine, her life was really no worse than some of the leading ladies. When I was in the county seat, I could socialize with some ladies.

For a long time, she didn't feel like a concubine.

But at this moment, seeing Liu Shi who was about to move into the Shuangxin Courtyard, her heart was like an ice cellar, and all the thoughts of pride, secret joy, and thinking that she was different in her heart were gone.

She is just a concubine!

A concubine that needs to share a yard with other concubines and also compete for favor.

Double Courtyard.

Looking at the plaque on the courtyard gate, Concubine Lin was a little stunned.

She still remembers how happy the master was like a child when she gave birth to twins.

In order to express the joy in her heart, she named the courtyard where she lived as Shuangxin Courtyard.

She thought that this favor was unique to her and her child, but looking at the Liu family in the yard, she was surprised to find that this favor could also be divided.

Shuangxin Courtyard, it will no longer be the previous Shuangxin Courtyard.

At the gate of the courtyard, Yan Wenbin and Yan Yishuang also looked sadly at the old maids who were busy in and out of the courtyard.

"Fifth brother, do you think Daddy doesn't like mother and us anymore?" Yan Yi's eyes were filled with panic.

Yan Wenbin pursed his lips: "It's not that Daddy doesn't like us, it's just that he likes us, and he has to share some of it with others."

Yan Yishuang was stunned for a moment: "After the big sister came, Daddy's love for us has become less, and now we want to share it with others?"

Yan Wenbin looked at the Liu family in the yard, but did not speak.

Yan Yishuang pouted again and said, "Daddy only has so little time every day. With an additional Liu family, there will be fewer opportunities to accompany us in the future. However, we have less, and mother and elder sister also have less. , then let's all fight together."

"My mother is pregnant with a younger brother now, and my father will definitely favor us. No one else can compete with us."

Yan Wenbin smiled bitterly: "Mother and eldest sister don't need to fight at all. The people who fight for favor are always only us."

The main room, the concubine's room; the descendant and the concubine, he may have understood the difference before, but he has come to Xingzhou City for more than a year, and he completely understands it.

Don't look at anything else, just take Aunt Liu, who was brought home by her father.

Mother can sit on the main seat and drink tea calmly, but my aunt can only watch her yard being divided by others in fear.
