Chapter 14 The real daughter is watching the excitement
Zhao Xuexin looked at Gu Qinglan. Since she didn't even look down on Hu Guilan, Mrs. Hou, because of her background, then of course she also looked down on Gu Qinglan, the second sister-in-law who was just the daughter of a young scholar.
Zhao Xuexin said with contempt in her eyes, "Second sister-in-law is so envious of my younger brother and sister, why not also train Ruozhi, so that you can become the prince's mother-in-law in the future."
Chen Ruozhi was the only concubine in the second wife's family, and of course the second wife's only concubine, because Chen Wenbiao only had one concubine, and both of her children were born to her.
There were many children in the second room, but basically they were all born to Lu Qinglan. But even though people outside said that Chen Wenbiao had a deep love for Gu Qinglan, the concubine in the backyard and the boy and girl from the concubine made Gu Qinglan resentful.
exist.
But people are all judged by comparison. Compared with the few concubines and concubines in the backyard of the big house and the large group of children in the backyard of the third house, it can indeed be said that Chen Wenbiao respected and had deep affection for her, his legitimate wife.
"It just so happens that Ruozhi is young and has been trained for a few years. Even if she can't be a concubine, she can still be a concubine or something. Second sister-in-law, you can also be the prince's mother-in-law." Zhao Xuexin said lightly.
Gu Qinglan's face turned ugly when she heard this, "Third brother and sister, what do you mean? You want me to send Ruozhi as a concubine? What are you thinking about? How can a girl from our Hou family be a concubine?"
But after Gu Qinglan finished speaking sternly, everyone's eyes fell vaguely on Chen Ruowei. Wasn't this person going to be a concubine?
Even though she has the title of concubine, she also has a rank. The concubine is still a concubine.
Chen Ruowei didn't look too good either. She also knew that when she was still the legitimate daughter of the Hou Mansion, she had to be a concubine to Prince Jin, which gave the Hou Mansion a bad reputation. But what could she do?
The age gap between her and King Jin was already quite large. King Jin didn't want to stay at the border all year round like King Ning and had no time to get married. He got married when he was seventeen or eighteen years old.
The current King Jin has a concubine with a very good family background. It is impossible for her to kill Princess Jin just after she comes back and then take the throne herself.
Besides, can the prince's concubine be the same as an ordinary concubine?
Gu Qinglan said, as if she had just remembered Chen Ruowei's incident, and smiled and said, "But, third brother and sister, you and the third room can give it a try."
"The only girl left in our second room is Ruozhi, who is still very young. From now on, it will be enough for me, the mother, to find a student from a poor family to be her headmistress."
"On the other hand, you, the third bedroom, have a lot of girls." Gu Qinglan asked with a smile, "Third brothers and sisters, the fifth girl in your third bedroom is just a few months younger than the third and fourth girls, and is also sixteen.
Has her marriage been decided yet?"
"The fifth girl is extremely innocent. My brothers and sisters should not vent their anger on her, a young and ignorant girl, for what her aunt did. They can't just casually assign her to a superficial family. It's not grand enough."
"By the way, the seventh girl is also fifteen, right? It's really hard for the third brother and sister. After worrying about the marriage of their adopted daughter and biological daughter, they also have to worry about the marriage of the concubine. From this year to next, the third brother and sister will have no time to spare." Gu Qinglan looked frightened.
"Fortunately, our second room is not like this."
Gu Qinglan's last words not only made Zhao Xuexin look unhappy, but also the crown prince's wife, Ye Shi, looked a little unhappy.
After all, there are many concubines and concubines in Dafang. One of Chen Wenbai's concubines is also fifteen years old, and she has reached the age to get married.
Although the other concubine was only twelve years old, she had to get to know each other slowly. After a few years of seeing each other, she was almost at the age to get married.
She, Gu Qinglan, was showing off, wasn't she? Showing off that their second wife only had one concubine and one concubine, right? She laughed at them, saying that their first wife had as many concubines as her third wife?
All the men in the Hou Mansion have concubines, from the Marquis Chen Feng to his sons, all of them have concubines. Only in the fourth to sixth bedrooms, no concubine or concubine has been born.
The eldest grandson, Chen Ying, and the second brother, Chen Yuan and Chen Yu, also have concubines now, but they have no concubine children yet.
Chen Xun blinked and said that it seemed that her second uncle had only one concubine. As for the other concubines, there were at least two.
Zhao Xuexin was too lazy to pay attention to Gu Qinglan. She had been laughed at by Lu Qinglan many times over the years because of the many concubines and concubines in Chen Wendong's backyard.
Zhao Xuexin didn't want to pay attention to her, but said to Hu Guilan, "Mother, since the meal has been finished, my daughter-in-law has taken the children back."
Hu Guilan nodded and said, "You go back, I will leave some peace for the old woman."
"yes."
Now not only the people in the third room had said goodbye, but also the people in the first and second rooms.
On the way back to their respective courtyards, Gu Qinglan looked at the concubine who was following her and her face was not very good. So what if her husband only had one concubine? Then there were still concubines. What was the difference between one and multiple concubines?
Fortunately, her husband only had two concubine children, not as many as the three-bedroom family, otherwise she would definitely have a fight with Chen Wenbiao.
"Mother?" Chen Yuan's wife Liu Xinya looked at Gu Qinglan and asked her what was wrong.
Gu Qinglan looked at her daughter-in-law, suppressed her dissatisfaction, and asked her daughter-in-law, "How is the girl you asked to look after her?"
Gu Qinglan's second son, Chen Rong, is also sixteen years old. At this age, he should also look at others. She hopes that her son can marry a good girl.
For example, her eldest daughter-in-law Liu Xinya, although not from an aristocratic family, is the daughter of a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Her natal mother is also a branch of the aristocratic family, and her status is also very good.
And Liu Xinya is beautiful, she studied with her parents, and her knowledge is quite good. She is very qualified to be the eldest daughter-in-law of their second wife.
As for the second son's daughter-in-law, Gu Qinglan hopes that she will be a girl with a good family background. At least she should be of the same family as her son, or it is not impossible for her to have a higher family background.
"When I went to attend the flower viewing party before, I asked about the girls from several families. The eldest girl from Li Hanlin's family, the seventh girl from Zhao Shilang's family, and the third girl from Hu Xiaowei's family are all good girls." Liu Xinya was not in a hurry.
He replied slowly.
Gu Qinglan frowned, "Why is there a girl from a military general's family?"
Liu Xinya smiled and said, "After all, I am also a military commander..."
When Gu Qinglan heard this, she didn't continue. Could she dare to say that she disliked military generals? Then she couldn't be punished by her parents-in-law. Her father-in-law was a military general, and he even became a marquis on his own.
"Please tell me carefully about the situation of these girls..." Gu Qinglan took her daughter-in-law to discuss the choice of the second son's wife, while the others followed their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law back together, not too far or too close.
Interrupting the conversation between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
