Zhutian: I have been happy to be a father since I was a child.

On June 28, Madam Liang led a team to the Sheng family to propose marriage.

As early as ten days ago, the news that the fourth and sixth girls of the Sheng family were in love and wanted to marry the youngest son of the Liang family had spread throughout the upper class circles of the capital, sparking heated discussions.

To be honest, this kind of thing is not that rare, but Sheng Hong is a scholar and considers himself a pure person, so such a marriage will inevitably affect his image.

But there is no way.

Putting aside the fact that he and his future son-in-law were both making trouble during the national mourning period, Madam Liang had already stated that she had taken a fancy to Minglan, and Aunt Lin and Molan were deliberately calculating. How disrespectful was this to the Liang family?

It can't be said that it was their personal behavior, right? So it was reasonable for the Liang family to ask for the two daughters to marry.

Marrying Molan could give an explanation for the public hug that day; marrying Minglan was the compensation required by the Liang family, and it also satisfied Madam Liang's needs for Minglan.

The Sheng family had no choice but to agree.

Although Sheng Minglan resisted, she had no say.

In Lao Deng's words, you can't resist feudal etiquette and tradition only when they are not good for you. You should love and embrace it as always. After all, you can't resist, right?

Mountain and moon residence.

Sheng Molan held a copy of the letter and smiled like a fool. She read it over and over again and couldn't bear to put it down.

It's a bit like some people in later generations who watch Douyin videos. They play the content of the marketing account over and over again and enjoy it, while the people next to them are very annoying and want to hit them.

Sheng Minglan wanted to beat her.

The fifth girl of the Sheng family, Sheng Rulan, is not so violent or sarcastic for the time being, and is more concerned about the content of the letter.

This letter was specially sent to Sheng Molan by Mrs. Liang, and the writer is Sheng Molan’s future husband...

maid.

Yuanyuan wrote four sentences for Chen Tao in the Liu script she had practiced since childhood:

There is a beautiful person, clear and graceful.

We meet each other by chance, just as I wish.

For Sheng Molan, she just wanted to be the legitimate wife of the youngest son of the Marquis's mansion. As for who is the youngest son? It doesn't matter at all.

Of course, it's not that she doesn't care, but she doesn't care because of her mother's education. She is still young, and she has some expectations for her husband's appearance and talent.

Liang Han is undoubtedly handsome, and can even be said to be extraordinary. In the book, on the day of the wedding on July 8, Sheng Wangshi saw him wearing a red robe and riding a white horse, and she couldn't help but feel jealous.

Jealous that the daughter of Aunt Lin, a vixen, can marry him, while her own daughter Rulan has not yet been settled.

Now Chen Tao asked his secretary Miss Yuanyuan to help show his literary attributes. Although he only copied a few sentences from the Book of Songs, it can already make Sheng Molan realize that although he was calculated, he was also happy to see this marriage, so he copied poems to show his goodwill.

How can she not be happy?

What's even happier is that Chen Tao didn't give Minglan a poem!

Hahaha!

So cool!

If she had to take care of her image, Sheng Molan would even be so happy that she would roll on the ground.

Obviously, she doesn't care about her husband being shared by other women, even if the woman is her sister. Otherwise, she wouldn't stick to Chun Ge even though she knows there is a concubine; nor would she arrange beautiful maids and concubines for her husband after sticking to Chun Ge.

As long as she is the first wife, everything can be discussed!

Netizens in later generations said that instead of saying that the male protagonists of these house fighting stories are fickle and always love to flirt with other women, it is better to say that concubines are the rigid needs of the first wives.

If there are really no concubines, who will the first wives fight with? How can they show off their power and deal with those mistresses?

However, this is not realistic.

Concubines are not equal to mistresses.

Concubines are not inherently at a moral disadvantage. On the contrary, they are in line with the ancient etiquette and morality. Wang Xifeng didn't dare to kill You Erniang directly, and she had to play tricks. How dare Molan kill Chun Ge?

She didn't dare either, so she could only find a concubine to share Liang Han's favor.

Those who think that they can beat the mistress at will after becoming the first wife should stay in modern times and don't travel through ancient times.

After laughing for a long time, she handed the letter to Rulan who was eagerly waiting. Actually, she didn't want to give it to her, but in order to show off, she had to show it to her sister first.

Rulan read both sides and asked:

"What does he mean?"

Molan said proudly: "He means that he doesn't blame me for letting him hug him on purpose, and is willing to regard the last meeting as a marriage opportunity, and expresses his love for me, his wife who has not yet married."

Rulan has also read books, but she can't compare with Molan, because Molan is set as Xiao Lin Daiyu, a talented woman who has been influenced by Aunt Lin since childhood.

As for Minglan, the time-traveling girl...

Sorry, she thinks that playing chess, calligraphy and painting are useless, and she doesn't care about these. She thinks that being able to give birth to a son and being able to manage the household is the most amazing.

If Chen Tao really chats with her in the way of the ancients, she must be blank with her eyes wide open and her face blank, and she doesn't understand the jokes in the words.

Molan can take it.

Add to that the status of the legal wife, won't she kill people?

In fact, if you change your perspective, many villains in female channels can be the heroines in male channels.

Rulan curled her lips: "Then I congratulate you on marrying a good husband. It's a pity that you and Aunt Lin used all means to harm the sixth sister!"

Minglan had no expression on her face, just like Mrs. Wang who was chanting Buddha, as quiet as dry water, without any ripples in the grain.

Molan was disdainful in her heart, and did not think there was anything wrong with striving for happiness, but she looked like a big wife, and said hypocritically:

"I did cause Minglan trouble, and I regret it, but the marriage has been decided, and the wedding date has been chosen, and there is no point in regretting it! Don't worry, Rulan, I will compensate the sixth sister. I don't care about what happened in the past. We are sisters, and we are connected by bones. After entering the Liang family, we must support each other."

Simple summary: Minglan, I have forgiven you.

Sheng Rulan just smiled and nodded her head after hearing this, showing her approval.

In fact, she didn't care how Sheng Minglan lived, as long as she could continue to fight with Molan. After all, she has always been proud of her legitimate birth and looked down on Minglan and Molan.

Sheng Minglan was naturally very angry after hearing this, but she had no support and could only choose to endure it and did not dare to turn her face.

After all, Molan was the eldest wife and could deal with her severely.

In fact, Molan did still regard her as a threat.

Because in theory, she still had the possibility of rising.

For example, if Molan did not give birth to a son, or simply died, then she would most likely become the main wife.

After all, due to different status, ordinary concubines basically could not become the main wife, but she could take over the baton naturally.

In fact, she had thought about this recently after trying to figure out a way to get out of it without success.

After all, she felt that she was a very suitable breed for men and was destined to give birth to a son.

Cricket's Molan is just like her mother Aunt Lin, both are weak and delicate, and probably can't stand it.

She really can't stand it.

According to the setting in the book, if Molan hadn't stuffed a lot of concubines, she would have been tossed to a short life.

On the contrary, she died after giving birth to four children, and she was very suitable for boys, which can only mean that Gu Er was either useless or didn't love her.

In addition, she had no right to have an opinion on Liang Han getting Da Chun Ge pregnant, because Gu Er was more than ten times worse than Liang Han? He already had a pair of children with the opera singer Man Niang, and he himself had bad character and low morals.

What about Sun Shaozu, who killed Jia Yingchun in Dream of Red Mansions? Gu Tingye in the book is much worse than him, and can be called the number one villain.

He rode his horse to hurt people, abused the common people, bullied his brothers, servants and children of noble families, contradicted his father, visited brothels and played with women...

Compared with him, Xue Pan, the dull bully who was seduced by the children of the Jia family and became ten times worse, can be considered to have good character, at least he would not bully his brothers and sisters.

Probably only Sun Mouchuan, who was said to have done all kinds of bad things, could be compared with him.

But there was nothing he could do.

Since the heroine was assigned to him, he had to make military achievements and rise step by step.

Then he was happily the superior with Minglan, who envied her bestie's husband for using power to please her bestie.

Maybe some people say this is reality, but you can't be realistic while ignoring reality and being lustful, right?

Apart from anything else, after Gu Tingye married Sheng Minglan, he didn't even ride a mare. Is this realistic? It really doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

***

Liang Mansion.

After taking a bath with Hongyu, Chen Tao returned to the main room and played games with Chun Ge, whose belly was bulging.

In this kind of weather at the end of June, it will be very hot when there are too many people.

But Chen Tao is not hot, his physique has passed the third level, although it has not reached absolute immunity to cold and heat, but it will not be hot.

Chun Ge is not too hot either, although the strengthening is far from complete, but she has her own maid Juan'er to fan her, and can also use ice cubes stored in the cellar to cool down.

And the time-traveling girl Yuanyuan...

I miss air conditioning very much, even if I have an electric fan, but she is really not so squeamish now.

At least it is much better than in the brothel.

I can see the correct version in the 16-9 book and bar!

I have to say that she has adapted very well now. Although she still dislikes being ordered around by Chen Tao, Chen Tao really doesn't treat her badly at all.

For example, he often eats with her in the study at home, and occasionally takes her to restaurants when going out, and visits the famous places in the capital of this imaginary Great Zhou, without even bringing a servant.

Riding on the same horse, in his arms, Yuanyuan was embarrassed, after all, she was not a real little girl, but she felt okay.

Because she originally wanted Chen Tao to teach her how to ride a horse!

It would be convenient if she had to run away one day.

And Chen Tao readily agreed and taught her very seriously.

Although it was incredible, she really felt that Chen Tao had modern thinking and was much better than Jia Baoyu.

And now many maids also envied her situation and envied her for being a concubine in the future.

The room for advancement was too narrow, and the time-traveling woman naturally disdained to be a concubine, but for the native maids, it was a huge improvement.

Some people in later generations said that if her husband gave her 100,000 a month, she would be willing to serve the mistress during her confinement!

Chen Tao gave more than 100,000?

She was really too favored, obviously just an ordinary little round face...

Well, she was very good.

Not only did she write a good handwriting that the fourth master loved, but she also had a talent for reading.

Any other woman, including Chun Ge, could not make the Fourth Master sit in the study for a whole day, but she could.

Therefore, after talking to her several times, Madam Liang had raised her monthly allowance to the level of a concubine, which is two taels. Her thoughts are obvious.

But her scalp was tingling.

She had a headache when she thought about fighting with Chun Ge and Ming Lan sisters in the harem.

But she couldn't refuse.

She originally wanted to take a walk and see the excitement before her coming of age, but Chen Tao doted on her so much and Madam Liang loved her. Even if she was still a maid, she had to get involved and fight with those people in the harem!

This is so outrageous!

It is worthy of being a harem fighting novel. There are harem fighting everywhere.

She didn't know that because of her existence and the Sheng family's troubles, Madam Liang no longer liked Sheng Ming Lan so much.

They were all time-traveling girls, and she acted more innocent, cute, and smart. Why didn't Madam Liang choose her? After all, she was still Madam Liang's maid in name.

The same goes for Xiuzhu, the "Xiren".

This is simply double the happiness!

Yes, Madam Liang is definitely part of the family fight. She also has preferences. She will support whoever can please her.

Therefore, even Chun Ge has become much more honest now. Of course, she doesn't stand the rules with a big belly, but she often goes to Madam Liang to chat. Although Madam Liang is unhappy with her eldest son, her cousin's husband, she doesn't treat her badly and gives her everything she deserves.

This is undoubtedly for the sake of her son, and it also shows that Madam Liang is really kind.

It's hard to change one's nature.

If Madam Liang is very barbaric and beats or injures maids and servants like those women in the Sheng family, how can she be so easy to talk to?

Of course, this is also relative.

There is no need to really regard her and Liang Han as modern people. They don't treat maids and servants equally.

"Three, three, three!"

Chun Ge shouted, and when the dice stopped, he sighed and admitted defeat.

This game of Go is actually similar to flying chess, and the winner is the sweet girl Miss Xiuzhu.

And the prize is Chen Tao.

Chun Ge is not jealous.

But she can't use the good excuse of "I need Chen Tao to help me rub my stomach all night" casually. She has to save it for the Sheng family's sister Dongyue to give her a warning.

Besides, Xiuzhu is also the most caring maid of her first love boyfriend, so she can't be jealous.

Moreover, she is a little worried that Chen Tao will mess with her and hurt the child.

So she didn't cheat.

Chen Tao smiled and said, "Sister, it seems that I don't have to accompany you tonight."

Help! My girlfriend is pregnant, and he openly accompanies other women!

What a scumbag's scumbag language!

Yuanyuan ate snacks in her mouth, but she was madly complaining in her heart.

Every time she thought that Chen Tao, the ancient scumbag brother (she learned that he was one month older than Liang Han), was teachable, she would always be slapped in the face quickly.

After all, in her opinion, this guy is a complete scumbag, but he can still be justified in this era.

Jealousy is jealousy, but no one thinks it is wrong for him to take a concubine.

Chun Ge snorted: "I really have nothing to say to you, but I have endless words for the son in my belly."

How do you know it's a son? Humph, it's really son-centric, I will, ugh, I will run away in the future!

Yuan Yuan secretly complained again.

Chen Tao seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and asked with a smile:

"Yuan Yuan, do you think it's better to have a son or a daughter?"

Yuan Yuan decisively said: "Anyway, I like daughters more!"

Chun Ge snorted again: "Then you will only give birth to daughters in the future, not sons! Don't give birth to sons, let me give birth to them all!"

Yuan Yuan complained in her heart: I won't give birth to a child for your first love!

Xiu Zhu, Hong Yu, and Cai Jin were also very uncomfortable after hearing this.

The level of concubine is indeed the ceiling for them. But if they could have a promising son, they might be able to get a royal title in the future because of the son. Why don't they want both a son and a daughter? Chun Ge's words really hurt them a little.

Chen Tao had no choice but to comfort them at night. (End of this chapter)
