The difference between a concubine and a concubine is that a concubine is a concubine who is being married by a matchmaker, while a concubine is just a slave in a sense. If she does not get along well, the concubine is sometimes not as good as the capable maidservant or the favored imperial concubine around her.
Maid. But the concubine is different. The reason why a concubine is called a concubine is that when she gets married, she also has a certain amount of betrothal money and betrothal gift like a married woman.
There is a rule in the Han family story that "no prince can marry a young lady over forty." To put it more bluntly, young ladies are actually concubines. Although a concubine who marries a concubine is also called a young lady, it is not the same as the concubine.
Little Madam, there is still a huge difference.
However, the current situation is that Yin Jiang, who married Concubine Si, not only received no bride price nor betrothal gift, but his status seems to be inferior to that of the young lady who took a concubine!
No, to a certain extent, maybe the title of "Little Madam" is delusional. Because sometimes the definition of a married woman is very broad, such as a married woman, a married maid, etc., they are all called "媵".
It's called accompanying the nun.
In this way, if the sixth prince only recognizes the eighth sister-in-law as the official wife of the matchmaker, and all the people who come with the dowry are regarded as concubines, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the fourth sister-in-law to hide her identity?
This is the sorrow of the nun who was used as a backup, but now that the matter has come to an end, no one can go to question the sixth prince and ask why he did not pay a betrothal gift to the fourth sister-in-law of the Wu family. Therefore, the matter of hiding Jiang has become a mystery.
The first public case, everyone can only wait and see.
After all, it is the Sixth Prince's family matter. Who really doesn't want his head and dares to question the Sixth Prince?
Therefore, one can imagine Yin Jiang's resentment and anger. If the Sixth Prince forgot about her, it would not be possible, because Yinjiang was asked by the Sixth Prince himself by name;
The Sixth Prince has not forgotten her, but why has he not paid any betrothal money or gift yet?
In short, things have come to this point, and if you want to go back on your word, everyone in the capital knows that the fourth sister-in-law of the Wu family is already the concubine of the eighth sister-in-law, and she was named by the sixth prince himself. Obviously, there is no possibility of her being related to her.
Feasibility is the only way to go.
But Yin Jiang was not willing to accept this embarrassing and humiliating situation. As soon as he saw Gong Yueyue, he vented all his resentment and anger on Gong Yueyue.
"Hey, Bamei, you are in great spirits during happy events! Now that you have received a reward from the Queen and the horse shoe gold from Her Highness the Sixth Prince, Bamei is now extremely rich. I heard that Bamei was the richest person before.
You have to accept gifts mercilessly, and with what you have now, Bamei's wealth is really hard to buy." Yin Jiang did not even raise chopsticks to eat, but knelt down in front of the food table with his arms folded, and said sarcastically.
.
Gong Yueyue, who was preparing to eat, stopped her chopsticks and glanced at Yin Jiang beside her.
Yin Jiang's slender figure, which she was originally proud of, seems to have become much thinner from a close distance.
Gong Yueyue kindly reminded her: "Fourth sister, it's time to eat." After thinking about it, she comforted her and said: "The greatest thing in the world is to eat!" Then she ignored her and buried her head in eating.
Even if Yin Jiang lost weight because of the inexplicable injury caused by the sixth prince's inexplicable failure to pay the bride price, it actually had nothing to do with her eighth sister-in-law. However, after all, she was a cousin who was worthy of the name, so Gong Yueyue still gave her kind words of comfort. As for her
Whether Yin Jiang could listen to her or not, and whether she would be angry with her, was beyond the control of her eighth sister-in-law.
As expected, Yin Jiang couldn't extricate himself, and still stubbornly vented his resentment on Gong Yueyue. Hearing this, he twitched the corner of his mouth mockingly, raised his eyebrows and said: "Oh, I dare you to think so, but the seventh sister thinks so."
Everyone is willing to eat them all! Well, Bamei can enjoy all the food on the table!" Yin Jiang said as he piled up his own portion of breakfast.
This is Gong Yueyue.
Not to mention this, when he was stacking, he deliberately made a heavy dump, and sarcastically said: "Bamei has a good appetite, be careful not to hold on! Also, Bamei had a huge appetite when she was in Wuwu, and her hands were weak when accepting gifts.
It has softened, and now it is even more prosperous. Good things are coming, and I have a bigger appetite."
Is this talking about the fifty gold gift given by the young lady Su to her eighth sister-in-law?
Gong Yueyue paused and then looked at Yin Jiang again.
It turned out that this was what Yin Jiang was referring to. However, she couldn't be blamed for this. She didn't force Mrs. Su to give her a gift of fifty gold. She also didn't agree, and she had no obligation, because she accepted this gift from someone who was short of money.
And to ask the Sixth Prince for an explanation on behalf of the fourth sister-in-law, that was not something she, a sister-in-law, could do.
But obviously Yinjiang doesn't think so. From Yinjiang's point of view, eating people is short-sighted, taking people is short-handed, and taking people's money has to eliminate disasters for others. This is a matter of course and understandable. But Gong Yueyue is actually the same.
As a vulnerable group, her own affairs have not yet been resolved, so she can only express her deep love and helplessness for Yin Jiang's matter.
Gong Yueyue couldn't help but sigh secretly: This is the sadness of being a nun!
Ke Shi, who was sitting on the main seat, obviously heard the hint of Jiang Yin, but he just frowned, coughed slightly, and said, "Don't say anything when you eat, don't say anything when you sleep."
There is no further text.
Ke Shi was very aware of Yin Jiang's current embarrassing situation, and also knew that Yin Jiang's public attack on the eighth sister-in-law was actually to show off to her fourth wife, but her fourth wife herself also had something to worry about, that is, the ninth sister-in-law Yujue was the candidate for the crown prince.
Compared with the Crown Princess, the bride price and betrothal gift of a married girl are much insignificant. What’s more, the Fourth Lady is currently pregnant with Liu Jia and has too much time to take care of herself. How can she have the leisure and time to interfere in the Sixth Prince’s family affairs?
?
Ke Shi secretly mocked: After all, she is just a concubine. It doesn't matter whether she has a bride price or not. She is not a concubine then! Even with the bride price of a matchmaker, it is not impossible to pretend to be a young lady, just like her
Mrs. Tian Xiao from the fourth bedroom. Most men are unlucky people who love the new and hate the old, so why should we be serious?
Thinking of this, Ke couldn't help but touch his increasingly bulging belly and thought to himself: Children are the most important thing, only children can support him...
Then he concentrated on breakfast again.
Yin Jiang waited for a long time, but only received a tepid admonishment from Ke Shi, and then he lowered his head and began to eat. Suddenly, Yin Jiang was like a defeated rooster, flapping its wings, and then disappeared.
sound.
She thought that her taking advantage of the opportunity would always attract the attention of the Fourth Madam. Even if it was not because of the face of the Xiping Marquis Mansion, or for the sake of the Sixth Prince, the Fourth Madam would always try to please her and get a wife for her.
What is fair is justice. Because, after all, she belongs to the Sixth Prince. She does not look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face. The fourth lady must also fight for her dowry.
But the Fourth Madam obviously had no intention of helping, and was only interested in eating!
Yin Jiang couldn't help but secretly hate it: Just eat it, just eat it as hard as you can, and then your belly will be so big that it will be difficult to give birth, which will be called good-looking!
Then he took a bowl of fragrant porridge and started eating it.
Seeing this, Gong Yueyue couldn't help but smile to herself: After all, people are not made of iron, so they have to eat, right?
The breakfast meal ended like this. Gong Yueyue left the Liao'e Hall and left quickly with Xinhui. Soon, the two came to Luoxuan in the outer courtyard and found Zihe to change into men's clothes. Gong Yueyue
Yueyue went to the stables alone. (To be continued)
