Chapter 149 Wife and concubine
"Brother, you have confused the lard! What's so good about that girl? It's good to give her a concubine. Cheng Yueqing has been watching the play beside her. At this moment, she opened her mouth and expressed her opinion.
"Qing'er's statement is reasonable. What is the identity of the Mo family? If you want to be an in-laws with us, it's a high climb. My mother saw that you really liked Molan, so she agreed to this marriage. But now that Yaner is here, she can't want a wife, otherwise, how can your uncle still have the face? Just give her a concubine. With her family status, the concubine's position is not an insult to her. Xu nodded in agreement with his daughter's opinion.
"No! Mother, Lanlan, she won't rely on it. I can't give her a concubine. I must give her a wife's seat!" Cheng Xiao argued against reason. How could he let Lan Lan be a concubine? Absolutely not!
"Brother, don't be silly. Why do you think Molan didn't agree with Liu Hu's marriage proposal, but agreed with you? It's not that our father is a person, he likes the power of our family, and wants us to protect her family. Don't worry, she will be happy to give her a concubine, and she will also enter the door happily. Cheng Yueqing enlightened her brother with his own reason.
"Qing'er is reasonable. Just carry her into the door and let your father take care of her house later. Also, after she enters the door, she should set rules and serve Yaner. Don't let her run out. It's okay if her mother's family doesn't come back! After all, she is a concubine and a legitimate relative. It's better to walk around less. Xu taught her son what to do in the future.
"Mom, you can't! Please give Lanlan a wife's seat. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of Lanlan? Cheng Xiao kept kowtopping his head.
"You are worthy of her. It's settled, or you will force your mother and your cousin to die!" Xu was cruel. At this time, she must not be soft-hearted. It's useless to marry that girl. She can't help her son with anything and open a shop to sell food. It's even more cheap. I didn't let her implict my son. I had taken good care of Yan'er for a long time. When the time comes, the eldest brother can help Xiao'er and find a future for him. It's a hundred times better than marrying that girl!
"That's right, brother, if you don't listen to your mother, you are unfilial! Brother, don't worry, I promise that the girl is willing to be a concubine. And Mo Ju, you hugged her in the past few years, and it's hard to say about her marriage. You can take her as well." Cheng Yueqing actually asked Cheng Xiao to take the ink chrysanthemum together.
Molan frowned. Did Mo Ju get involved with Cheng Yueqing? It seems that Mo Ju has a lot of thoughts, otherwise Cheng Yueqing would not have helped her speak.
"When did I hug her? Don't talk nonsense." Cheng Xiao is very angry at this moment. Mo Lan's matter has not been solved, but his sister mentioned Mo Ju here. Isn't this for him!
"Why not? She fell into the river that year. Didn't you carry her up? You hugged someone. If you don't want her, they just have to die. Cheng Yueqing shouted at his brother.
"Qing'er said the same thing. Mo Ju's girl has been to the house several times. I think it looks good. She looks good and is well-behaved. If Xiao'er is paid together, it's a compensation for Xiao'er, but my mother has made a deal. They have to give me more rules when they enter the door. If someone goes over Yaner, I will be indiliated!" When Xu said the last sentence, his eyebrows were full of fierceness.
"Mother." Cheng Xiao shouted helplessly. Will Lanlan really agree to be a concubine as her mother and sister said? If she agrees. I will definitely treat her well, and she is the only one in my heart. It won't make her feel wronged.
"Xiao'er, it's not that your mother is cruel. Yan'er married you and wronged her. If you give that girl the position of a wife, your ancestor's family still has half the face! The status of her family is really too low. You talk to her well. Being a concubine is not an insult to her. In addition, don't let her show up before she enters the door. Let her learn more rules and practice more female red. In the future, she has to do all the shoes, socks and trousers of Yan'er. She can't be a female red. Xu persuaded his son.
"That's right, brother, you tell her to make do with Mr. Xue if she has nothing to do. Mr. Xue is mine. Remember to ask her to help me. When I get married to the Xue family, you can follow me. Cheng Yueqing is bound to win against Xue Lingyun. She must marry the handsome man with a warm smile. Molan's stinky girl is always in the way!
"Mom, I will talk to Lanlan. Before I make a deal with Lanlan, don't go out. If Lanlan doesn't agree, will my mother give Lan Lan the position of wife? Cheng Xiao pleaded with his mother without give up.
"If she doesn't agree, it means that she doesn't value Xiao'er. She doesn't have that feeling for Xiao'er. Xiao'er, a woman who doesn't value you, what do you want her to do?" What Xu said was a little ruthless.
"Mother." Cheng Xiao shouted sadly. Today, he was supposed to discuss his marriage with Lanlan happily, but how did it become like this at this moment? He is a little unacceptable.
Wang Shi listened to the end of the play. She stepped forward. Her granddaughter would not die begging for nothing to rely on the Cheng family. What about the concubine? I don't want my wife! Cheng Xiao doesn't understand Xu's intentions. Doesn't he understand? She can't be old anymore. She doesn't like it.
Molan grabbed Wang who wanted to go forward and shook his head at her. Today, she watched a good show. She used to see the house in books and on TV. Unexpectedly, she saw it with her own eyes today. She really opened her eyes. In order to break up this marriage, the Xu family really took a lot of effort. Molan smiled sarcastically, and then pulled Grandma away.
As the two walked back, Molan whispered to Wang Shi, "Milk, just think you don't know about this and let them act. Let's talk about it when we get back.
Wang's face was a little gloomy. She could hear that her granddaughter's voice did not fluctuate much. She sighed softly. Cheng Xiao was not her granddaughter's favorite person, and her granddaughter was just looking for a peaceful life. Well, without this marriage, there will be better waiting for the granddaughter.
The two returned to the table. Liu hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Mom, Lanlan, you've been there for a long time. Are you all right?"
"It's okay. We almost got lost. You eat yours." Wang waved her hand to her daughter-in-law, and she sat back.
"Old lady, why did you go there for half a day? Have you never seen such a big house? I'm dizzy!" As soon as Wang sat down, Xu's sister-in-law asked, which was full of irony.
"Yes, old lady, I live so big that I haven't entered such a big house before. I'm dizzy when I leave. Fortunately, the old lady doesn't live here, otherwise I really can't get used to it. Wang took her words with a smile on his face, and his face did not reveal any displeasure.
"Country people have never seen the world. If they want to live in a big house, they have that life." Xu's sister-in-law curled her lips and mocked Wang.
Wang looked at her, smiled softly, and did not answer.
After a while, Xu came back. With a smile on her face, she hurried to accompany Wang Shi: "Aunchung, don't be surprised. I'm a little upset today. I'm going to sweep my aunt's fun. Come on, concubine to my aunt for a cup."
Wang smiled at Xu Shi. The smile was different, which surprised Xu Shi a little. She knew that Wang Shi and Mo Lan had heard their conversation. Why didn't they come forward to make trouble?
As soon as they made trouble, they happened to find fault. When the time came, they said that Molan had made an appointment with her son's private meeting. In this way, she was not afraid that she would not be a concubine for her son! But they didn't make trouble. Can the old woman laugh at this moment? She is a little puzzled.
"It's getting late. We are used to resting early. Thank you very much for your warm hospitality today! Let's go back first. As for the marriage..." Wang Shi said here and made a surprise.
"Don't worry about the marriage. The matchmaker will come to discuss it with her tomorrow." Xu answered with a smile.
"Well, then I'm relieved, then we'll go back first." Wang got up and said goodbye to the Xu family.
"Cai Yue, Liu Ma. You can see me off." Xu did not see the guests off in person, but called the servants. Anyway, Molan was a concubine when she entered the door, so she didn't have to give them face.
"Hehe, that's a waste of work." Wang smiled and was supported by Molan and Liu to walk out.
"A poor and sour woman still pulls words, which is really going to laugh off my big teeth." The laughter of Xu's sister-in-law came.
Qiu is a little angry. Both families are going to be in-laws. Cheng Xiao's aunt's words are too annoying. Isn't it obvious that she looks down on her family? But she couldn't say anything, so she suppressed her anger and followed the crowd to the lobby.
He was still drinking in the front hall. Mo Quan and Mo Changhe didn't eat much. Only Mo Changhai couldn't drink. He was still awake.
After saying goodbye to Cheng Juren, everyone walked back. It was dark and the moonlight was not bright.
Mo Quan's footsteps staggered a little, and he was really happy today. His granddaughter had a good home. He pushed the cup with the master, and the master shouted one by one, and he was very excited.
Everyone went back to the house. Mo Quan drank a little too much, and he snored for a moment.
"What do you think, girl?" Wang sat on the kang and asked Molan.
"Milk, for Liu Hu and Cheng Xiao, I regard them as friends who can get along with each other. I didn't choose Liu Hu at that time because his mother coveted our family's prescription. It's too much trouble for me to get married, and it's difficult for Liu Hu to do it in the middle. I thought there was nothing wrong with Cheng Xiao's family, but I knew that it was like this when I saw it. His mother and his sister, I couldn't stand it, and it's okay. If this happens, I don't have to get married to save my worries in the future. There was not much loss in Molan's words.
"Oh, do you have someone you like?" Wang sighed and asked his granddaughter.
"Milk, after a matchmaker comes, she will definitely make trouble. I'm afraid it's hard for me to say in the future. If I don't marry for the rest of my life. Can Dad and Mom talk about it?" In fact, Molan doesn't want to marry in her heart. She just follows the local customs, and she is afraid that it doesn't make sense for her family not to marry.
