Three Hundred and Thirty-Eight: 10 Miles of Red Makeup (11)
The concubine choked on her words, but she still refused to give up and said, "The younger sister just wants to seek a status for her birth mother, and has no other intention. Her father has been away from home for many years and has never been in the backyard. She is depressed and has only the younger sister as her support. Now the younger sister My sister is about to marry into the royal family and become someone else's wife. She will never have the opportunity to serve her mother again. Brother Xi, as children, we should also understand this worry..."
The concubine spoke very sincerely, her eyes filled with tears. It was heartwarming to watch, and the audience in the live broadcast room also softened their hearts.
[Smuggling into the African Emirates]: A very filial little girl, I think it is normal for her to seek a status for her low-status mother.
[Noodle Shop Chef]: Hey, he looks so pitiful.
[Old driver Lian Meng]: Poor hammer. The anchor was born to his first wife, but this concubine and the anchor were not born from the same mother. In modern terms, would you want to help your mistress gain a serious status because your half-sister is pitiful? Isn’t this funny!
[Use your fingers to go to the toilet]: The problem is that ancient times are different from modern times. In ancient times, three wives and four concubines were legal, but they were not mistresses.
[Musician Zhuge Qinmo]: Monogamy and multiple concubines are legal, not three wives and four concubines. In addition, I have been chasing the live broadcast room for several years. My concubine’s biological mother is not even a concubine. How can I have the face to ask for status? It's said to be filial, but actually there is more of a threat.
Jiang Pengji frowned and glanced at the barrage in the live broadcast room, then sent a barrage to calm down the debate.
[Anchor v]: The concubine is not biological, but adopted. She didn't know, but her biological mother in name definitely knew, so naturally it was impossible to instigate her to ask for status. This could only be her own idea. If you are really filial, you can write a letter to your father to complain after you get married. Now that you are not married yet, you come to me and tell me about this matter. It's called filial piety, but it's actually a threat. Where is her pure intention?
She is Liu She's only legitimate son in name, but she is now fifteen years old, and in ancient times she was considered a man who could start a family and start a business.
How could an adult son interfere with his father's status as a concubine in his backyard?
Jiang Pengji looked at the other party coldly and asked, "First of all, you only have one mother, who is your father's wife. Secondly, your mother has helped your father take care of the backyard for many years. Who has she wronged? If you spread this word, you want to trap her. My mother is unjust, saying she is harsh and vicious?"
The concubine's face turned pale and she didn't dare to say anything.
Jiang Pengji took out a booklet from the table and threw it to her, saying, "This is the dowry list prepared by mother for you. It's just a little more. You don't have to be careful with me here. You can go and see other concubines. Who can get such a generous dowry when getting married? Marrying the fourth prince is a perfect marriage planned by your father.
Mother was afraid that you would feel inferior and overthinking, so she opened a warehouse to prepare for your marriage..."
The concubine's face seemed to have been painted with several layers of lime water, it was pale and pale, and her eyes showed the fear of being exposed.
Jiang Pengji narrowed her eyes and said in a very rude tone, "Don't think that the house lacks anything for you, and my mother doesn't owe you or your biological mother anything. You are going to marry into the royal family and rise to prominence, but so what? You said that you are a child. You should understand your filial piety, but you are also going to be a wife. Should you be considerate of the feelings of a married woman? If you blame yourself, how can you save your mother’s face?”
The concubine picked up her dowry list and didn't look at the contents listed at the back. Just the things on the front were enough to dazzle her eyes.
Just as Jiang Pengji guessed, the concubine did have her own little thoughts when she came here this time.
Remind Liu She and his son not to forget that she is going to join the royal family. She represents the face of the Liu family. The dowry list cannot be thin. If this is not satisfied, she should be given a good reputation, even if she cannot be recorded as the legitimate mother. Under the name, the biological mother was also given the title of concubine.
Jiang Pengji said leisurely, "We are all big girls about to get married. Don't interfere with matters in my father's backyard."
After saying that, the concubine, filled with joy and fear, casually found an excuse to go back to her yard.
Looking at the back of his concubine leaving, Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows and then threw the matter behind her.
Elsewhere, Xu Ke's aunt happily chose an auspicious day, and a tailor was measuring Xu Ke's figure.
"Aunt, choose an earlier time. It's best to get it done within half a month." Xu Ke said.
The aunt was suspicious, "Half a month...this is too urgent. Thank you for waiting for me to look for plums."
It takes a lot of time to complete the three books and six etiquettes. If you prepare for marriage in half a month, it will inevitably be streamlined.
Xu Ke said helplessly, "If we don't get married in this half month, I don't know if there will be a chance in the future."
"How do you say this?" My aunt was puzzled, and then she thought of something, "Is it possible that Xunmei doesn't want to... or do you want to change your mind?"
"No." Xu Ke frowned and comforted his aunt, "The current situation is really unforgiving. Lang Jun has great ambitions, so Ke naturally has to follow him. This time, Lang Jun sends the second mother-in-law of the master's family to Beijing to get married. I'm afraid it will There are other variables... If you are unlucky, there will be no peace in the next few years, and Xunmei may have to be delayed... So, Ke thought, let's get married first. "
The aunt didn't know what the variable was, but she also knew that Xu Ke wouldn't joke about such a thing, so she was immediately embarrassed.
Xu Ke whispered, "After marriage, Ke will make up for her well."
The aunt's face turned cold, knowing in her heart that given the ages of Xu Ke and Xunmei, they really couldn't delay it any longer.
After a long while, she said, "Forget it. We ordinary people hold a wedding just for the sake of excitement and celebration. We can save those false gifts. I looked at the time and found that there is a good day in eleven days. If Xunmei agrees, let's just settle it. But you must compensate her well in the future. If you treat her badly, aunt will be the first to not forgive you!"
Xu Ke nodded, "Aunt, don't worry, Ke knows."
Although the wedding was a bit rushed, it was not chaotic.
On the day of showing the dowry, the rich dowry that Jiang Pengji prepared for Xunmei made the surrounding neighbors jealous.
Which of the neighbors didn't say that Xu Ke was lucky to marry such a beautiful bride?
Jiang Pengji even started a semi-interactive live broadcast mode of Xu Ke's wedding, explaining the marriage process of this era in detail to the live broadcast audience. On that day, there were a lot of live broadcast audiences who sent "gift money", and the reward information almost flooded the background.
Three days after the wedding, Jiang Pengji was tactful enough not to disturb the two and let them continue to be together.
But time flies, Xunmei, dressed in women's clothes, has prepared gifts for her newlywed husband for a long journey.
The two sat on the couch, looking at each other in silence for a while.
No newlywed couple is like them, who have to separate temporarily within a few days of marriage.
After thinking for a while, Xunmei said, "Be careful when you go out, and I will take care of everything at home."
Xu Ke nodded, holding her hands with both hands, and said guiltily, "I'm sorry for you."
"It's good, this is my own choice after all. I'm afraid that my husband will find out that I am not consistent in my appearance and despise me in the future." Xunmei's lips moved, her eyes were hesitant, and after a long time, she took the initiative to hug Xu Ke's waist, "...by the way, by the way..."
"Hmm?"
"Don't let my husband be alone with Taxue..."
Xu Ke was confused.
"Be careful of stepping on the snow, she has ulterior motives!" Fried mushrooms →_→ Happy Goddess Day
