The room in the courtyard that Zhao Xuexin arranged for her legitimate daughter was certainly not bad. Although the master bedroom was already occupied by Chen Ruowei, who had allowed her to be her legitimate daughter and live in that room for more than ten years?
Chen Xun didn't intend to steal other people's rooms.
Although this bedroom is not as big as Chen Ruowei's and is a bit far from the master bedroom, Chen Yu is still very satisfied.
Originally, her room in Chenjiacun was not big, and she lived with other sisters, so it was even smaller.
Now her new room must be at least 70 to 80 square meters in size. What makes her most satisfied is a 1.5-meter-wide bed. She can roll out the 1.5-meter-wide bed as she wants.
Of course, what Chen Xun hopes most is to be able to sleep on a large bed that is more than two meters wide, but now that she does not have such conditions, she "has to suffer" and sleep on a bed that is 1.5 meters wide.
The layout of this room is quite good, and the antique decoration looks quite elegant and charming. She is still very satisfied.
Chen Xun is already very satisfied to have such a big bed. You must know that when she was a system, the room where her host lived was small at the beginning, and now she does not need to sleep in the same room with other sisters.
What else is she dissatisfied with about the bed?
"Third Miss, do you want to rest for a while before taking a shower?" Cuiyu, who was a little smarter, looked at Chen Yun as she looked around the room, then approached her and asked.
"Bath?" Chen Yu thought for a while and decided that she should take a shower. The conditions for bathing were not very good during the past few days on the road, and she felt like she stunk.
Hey, she just got out of the carriage and met so many masters of the Hou Mansion. Isn’t she a little slovenly? Do you think she is a real “stinky girl”?
After Chen Xun had freshened up and rested for a while, it was almost time for dinner. She followed Cui Yu and the others to the main courtyard to have dinner.
The Marquis of Pingyang is a first-grade Marquis, and the area of the Hou's Mansion is also a large courtyard with five square meters, but there are also many people in the Marquis' Mansion. There are many masters, and there are also many servants to serve, so wouldn't it mean living in a tight place?
Pingyang Marquis is still a Marquis, so of course he lives in the main courtyard. As his wife, Hu Guilan, of course, also lives in that side of the main courtyard.
The main courtyard is the largest courtyard in the entire Hou Mansion, but it only houses the two masters, the Marquis and Mrs. Hou. The Marquis's concubines are not qualified to live here, and their descendants will certainly not let them live here.
.
Because the main courtyard is the largest, meals are basically eaten in the main courtyard. If the Marquis and Madam Hou do not come over when they are eating, they will really be hungry.
Of course, men who are out on duty can eat outside, but women can't. If they can't catch the meal, they will go hungry.
After listening to Cuiyu’s introduction, Chen Xun: “…”
Does Marquis Pingyang have such a strong desire for control?
"Are there no other small kitchens in the house?" Chen Xun asked.
"Yes, Madam Prince, the second wife and my wife have a small kitchen in their courtyard." Cuiyu replied.
"The aunts in the mansion also want to go to the main courtyard to have dinner with Madam Marquis?" Chen Yu asked curiously.
"No, the servants who serve the aunts go to the big kitchen to get the meals." Cuiyu said. The aunts are all concubines, how can they have the right to eat with Mrs. Marquis?
Chen Yu nodded and said she understood. So the children of concubines in the mansion will also go to the main courtyard to eat?
When Chen Xun arrived, she found that there were quite a lot of people dining, but the men and women were separated from each other, not sitting together.
Under the leadership of Cuiyu Cuiju, Chen Xun found her place, and then she was placed next to Chen Ruowei.
"Third Miss..." When Chen Ruowei saw Chen Xun, she greeted her with a false smile on her face.
"It's the fourth girl, so we are seated together?" Chen Xun looked at Chen Ruowei, and then at the girls sitting at the same table with her, most of whom were direct descendants of the family.
So, Chen Ruowei, the adopted daughter who has been the legitimate daughter for more than ten years, is also placed at this table?
But Chen Xun also understood that Chen Ruowei still had the reputation of being the concubine of the future King of Jin, and the Hou Mansion would not let her live a bad life before getting married, so she didn't care so much.
"Yes, the third girl is quite unfamiliar with the Hou Mansion. You can ask me more in the future." Chen Ruowei looked very fond of Chen Xun on the surface, but in fact, if you listen carefully to her tone, you can still hear a hint of pride and pride.
of.
So what if Chen Xun is the real daughter? So what if she is a fake daughter? If she doesn't stay in the Hou Mansion, will she become the concubine of the Jin Dynasty in the future, or even become the Jin Wangfei or the queen?
As for Chen Yun, a vulgar country girl born into a real daughter, so what if she has to marry into the royal family? She married the short-lived ghost Prince Ning, and she will be a widow from now on!
Chen Xun said a few words to Chen Ruowei politely, and then looked at the other girls at the same table with her, the eldest daughter-in-law, 14-year-old Chen Qian, the fourth-bedroom girl Chen Lan and the fifth-bedroom girl.
Chen Qian.
There are not many direct daughters in the Hou Mansion, that is, the four of them, Chen Ying from the eldest daughter-in-law, and Chen Ran from the second eldest daughter-in-law are already married.
There are fifteen girls in the Hou Mansion, including Chen Ruowei, the fake daughter, but only six are legitimate daughters, and the rest are concubines. Chen Yun has more daughters who are the concubines of her biological father, and there must be four.
Gee, there are really quite a lot of girls in the Hou Mansion, and they have only married two sons now, and she and Chen Ruowei are already engaged and will get married soon.
Thinking of this, Chen Xun suddenly turned her head slightly and asked Chen Ruowei, "I heard Manager Liao say that the mistake we made was caused by the aunt in our father's backyard. So what happened to that aunt now?"
She had just returned to the Hou Mansion, and she didn't even have time to gossip about the fate of the two guys who planned to change the child. Now she could ask Chen Ruowei.
After Chen Ruowei heard her words, she frowned slightly and said, "After all, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Cui gave birth to children for my father, and Aunt Zhou is a good concubine and cannot be sold. My father confined her to the backyard to eat and pray to Buddha, and she was not allowed to come out.
Already."
Chen Xun raised her eyebrows slightly, "Aunt Zhou is a good concubine and cannot be sold, but what about Aunt Cui? She was sold?"
Chen Ruowei nodded slightly and said, "Aniang sold her away."
Aunt Cui was Zhao Xuexin's maid from the beginning. She was brought as a dowry from her natal family, and she held her bond of sale in her hand.
When Zhao Xuexin gave birth to the child, the maid named Cuilan climbed into Chen Wendong's bed. Even though Zhao Xuexin was very angry, she did not betray Aunt Cui because she swore that she would not threaten Zhao Xuexin and followed Zhao Xuexin's lead.
Zhao Xuexin also knew very well that Chen Wendong's romantic nature was similar to Cuilan's or anyone else's. Moreover, Cuilan's contract of sale was still in her hands, so she acquiesced in Cuilan becoming Chen Wendong's mistress.
But Cuilan had to endure it for many years after becoming the first wife. After giving birth to her son, she was promoted to aunt, and her treatment was better.
But after all, she was the one who betrayed Zhao Xuexin in the first place, and her life as an aunt may not be much better.
Now it was discovered that it was Cuilan and Aunt Zhou who had exchanged Zhao Xuexin's child. Zhao Xuexin, knowing this, would certainly not be soft-hearted again.
She sold Aunt Cui far away, ensuring that she would never live a good life in the future.
As for the son born by Aunt Cui, he is also Chen Wendong's son after all. Zhao Xuexin can't drive him away, but his future life will definitely not be very good.
