Of course, Xia Tian only said this. Privately, it was really impossible for Qiu to make new clothes for everyone.
Gu Qingling just said that in name he left Chunchun busy alone, but in fact he asked Chunchun to take charge of this matter and start arranging for people to make new clothes for several maids.
As for those who were working below, they were also rewarded with money and asked to buy it themselves.
After all, for the maids like them in spring, they have no shortage of clothes to wear, but the master "rewards" them with face.
For the people below, giving money is more affordable and more convenient for them to buy what they want.
In a few days, there was news from Miss Yao Qi and Miss Yao Ba.
To be honest, given their status, if Gu Qingling hadn't spoken and opened the door, they wouldn't have been able to find out anything. The few times they went out to inquire, they only found out information that everyone could hear.
.
If my father has something, those families will hide it tightly to prevent the family scandal from being exposed.
Several serving maids carefully looked at Miss Yao Qi's face, fearing that they would be harmed by Chi Yu.
There is no way, who told Miss Yao Qi to like Mr. Ye, who is actually such a person in the mainland?
Forget about sleeping in flowers and staying in willows, he actually made a cousin's belly bigger, tsk tsk tsk tsk... Which girl is so unlucky that she has to become a mother as soon as she enters?
I also met a cousin who was my "childhood sweetheart". How can I survive this life?
Miss Yao Qi had an angry look on her face, and she pulled out Mr. Ye's information: "What does the old lady mean? Such a person, such a person, he actually has the nerve to send it over? Even if we are concubines,
You can’t ruin people like this.”
"Sister Qi, this Young Master Ye is from an official family..." Miss Yao Ba had to remind Miss Yao Qi that she had chosen this Young Master Ye just because he had the best background on this list.
?
His father is not known, but his uncle is a second-rank official in the dynasty, his sister-in-law is married to a powerful figure in the capital, and he is the only direct male heir of the Ye family, so it is strange that he is not favored.
Needless to say, such a family would definitely want to marry a well-matched concubine. How could they look down on a concubine like them?
At that time, she reminded Miss Yao Qi that this person was not theirs to choose. Miss Yao Qi didn't listen. Now you know why the old lady put this person on the list? If there wasn't something wrong with him, how would it be their turn?
A girl born from a concubine?
Miss Yao Qi glared at her: "Whose side are you on?"
"I...I'm not taking either side. I'm just discussing the matter. Seventh sister, don't get angry in a hurry. Please listen to me first..." Miss Yao Ba, Bala Bala, talked for a while, and finally said, "You can tell it yourself."
What’s the point of this?”
Although Miss Yao Qi was a little unconvinced, she had to admit that her sister was right.
But she still felt a little dissatisfied and said: "Then...then we have to admit that the old lady put this person on the list just to set a trap for us."
"Even if it is a trap, it is also a conspiracy. Seventh sister, let me ask you, even if you know that Mr. Ye already has a childhood sweetheart as a concubine, you see that their family is powerful, can you not
Are you coveting their family’s wealth and splendor and don’t want to marry into it?”
Miss Yao Qi hesitated, a little unsure.
If she had no choice, even for the sake of the superficial glory, she might just plunge into it.
After all, rather than being a lowly person and begging for help everywhere, she would rather be a lonely person, with no worries about food and clothing, and prosperity.
"If you want to marry, you have to be mentally prepared not to be favored and to be treated as a bastard." Miss Yao Ba said, "Look at the old lady, she is a countess, and her husband still accepts her.
Many concubines gave birth to many concubines and concubines? It’s just that she had a better move and had the last laugh, and our aunt... Look at Aunt Chen, what if she was favored when she was young? It’s not a word from the head wife, she said
It will be dealt with."
Compared to their own aunts, it was obvious that Aunt Chen was more favored when she was young.
Speaking later, Miss Yao Ba changed her mind and took Aunt Chen as an example. She just wanted to tell Miss Yao Qi that it didn't matter whether she was favored or not when she was young. What was important was who had the last laugh.
Now, who in the Yao family doesn't say that the old lady is the one who calls the shots?
It's them who have been protected by Aunt Zhang for more than ten years. Now they are still in the hands of the old lady, and whether they die with honor or disgrace depends on the old lady's wishes.
"I know what you mean. You want to tell me that no matter what, it is always better to be a wife than a concubine. Like my aunt, she was not favored when she was young and could not give birth to a son, so she only had the fourth sister and us girls.
." Miss Yao Qi glanced at Miss Yao Ba with disgust and said, "I'm not that hard-headed. I'd rather be a good wife than a concubine. I just want to marry a better, majestic one.
, I don’t want to suffer hardship, and I can’t bear that kind of grievance.”
Miss Yao Ba breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. When my aunt was still here, she said that we don't want to imitate the fourth sister to be concubines, but to be the real wives. The fourth sister just looks at the scenery, but in fact her life is not the same.
Not having a good time."
"I know this. If Fourth Sister's life was really easy, she would have kept us in Beijing instead of sending us out as soon as the old lady spoke."
"Fourth sister didn't want to do it, but there's nothing we can do about it, right?" Miss Yao Ba thought that Miss Yao Qi was still blaming this incident, so she quickly said, "At that time, the King of Jin County had spoken, and fourth sister was just a sideshow.
Concubine, how can she take the initiative? Didn't you see that when we left, my aunt still looked worried, asking people to ask what happened to the fourth sister... It seems that after we left, the fourth sister should have been punished.
.”
For a moment, Miss Yao Qi did not speak.
Everything happened so suddenly at that time, and before they knew what was happening, they were "herded out" in a swarm and stuffed into the carriage.
At that time, Miss Yao Qi did blame Concubine Yao.
But now that she thought about it, she understood that if the fourth sisters had a choice, even if they ignored their biological sisters, they couldn't ignore their aunt, right?
Later, the aunt was sent away by the old lady, never to be seen again.
This series of events can only illustrate one problem - the seriousness of the matter is definitely beyond the imagination of the two sisters, otherwise it would not have been such a direction.
Miss Yao Qi said in a daze: "Tell me, what happened? Our fourth sister is the concubine of the county prince. With her status, can't she protect my aunt and us?"
Miss Yao Ba shook her head: "I can't guess, my aunt didn't tell us anything. It happened so suddenly, and all my aunt's people were dealt with, and we don't have any clues. The only thing we know is that this incident
The matter must be serious. Otherwise, as a concubine, how could the fourth sister not be able to suppress the declining Yao family? Even if the Yao family had made great achievements in preventing smallpox, the fourth sister could not resist the trend.
case, but what happened next? It has been so long, years have passed, and there is no news about the fourth sister, let alone her appearance. We were in Beijing under such circumstances at that time, and as long as the fourth sister had the intention, she would not be able to
Don’t worry, we should have sent someone over to contact us long ago to inquire about the situation..."
