415. Chapter 415 The Surprising Reversal of the Situation 【04】
When people from aristocratic families discuss marriage, they not only pay attention to family status, but also pay attention to concubines.
Generally speaking, the eldest son naturally wants to be the head of the family, so he must marry a legitimate daughter who is of the right family, and must be favored and capable, preferably the eldest daughter.
Generally, more legitimate sons marry legitimate daughters. After all, you have to look up to marry a daughter and bow down to marry a wife. If you marry a concubine from a low-class family, you will always feel a bit disadvantaged. But this is not absolute. There are also people who can't find a legitimate daughter and retire.
As for the next best thing, if she is a well-educated concubine, that's fine too.
As for concubines, it is no surprise that most of them marry concubines. After all, almost no mother is willing to marry her biological daughter to an unpopular concubine.
If there are other situations, it will be discussed separately. This is the overall market situation.
However, the Prime Minister of the Shen family has a high position and his family's legitimate daughters are expected to be concubines. Even if they are concubines, they can marry into a noble family and become the first wife.
Of course, when people want to examine their character and upbringing, it still depends on the wishes of the head wife.
That's why Aunt Zhao is so flattering to Mrs. Liu.
Aunt Zhao personally brought the tea and went to serve tea to the princes and princesses.
It's strange to say that Xiao Xian and Xiao Wen originally didn't like this kind of occasion and rarely showed up, but now they didn't leave once they came.
If they didn't leave, the other Xiao Che, Xiao Run, Xiao Ze, and Changsun Xian would all stay put and sit there watching the show!
Aunt Zhao saw Sun Xian and Xiao Ze talking there, so she immediately called the little girl over.
The little girl said crisply: "Aunt Zhao, Sister Qiulin in front of the third lady sent someone to say that she has a headache, so she won't come to the show. The two young ladies from the Liu family are also accompanying her, so they won't come."
Xiao Run in the cubicle heard talking about Shen Yunluo and immediately pricked up his ears to listen.
Seeing that Aunt Zhao had nothing to say, he was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.
Xiao Xian couldn't help but glance at him, and Xiao Wen smiled slightly and glanced at Xiao Xian, "Brother Xian, you are very strange."
Xiao Xian disagreed, "Isn't Bage even weirder?"
Xiao Wen smiled leisurely and said, "I think the Prime Minister's Mansion is fun, so I came to see it."
Xiao Xian raised his eyebrows, leaned against the rosewood chair, and stopped talking.
At this time, Aunt Zhao was whispering to the little girl again, talking about what had just happened. Xiao Run became more and more angry and anxious, wondering how Shen Yunluo would be bullied by Shen Mingzhu.
Thinking of Shen Yunluo's beautiful face, gentle temperament, and smoke-like eyes, he felt a twinge of pain in his heart.
When Changsun Xian heard this, she immediately said angrily: "Brother Che, your future princess is too bullying."
She had a bad temper and was spoiled to a fault, which made her even more irritable. "Huh, I can't stand her! She's so frivolous and annoying."
Although Xiao Xian and Xiao Wen over there were sitting far away, they had deep inner strength, so they could naturally hear.
Xiao Wen was smiling, while Xiao Xian's face was as dark as water, and his expression was so cold that it made people feel that the temperature around them had dropped a few degrees.
Xiao Wen immediately smiled and said: "Hey, is it going to be a cold spring? Why is it so cold?"
Sun Xian, the chief over there, shouted that she was going to seek justice for Shen Yunluo and Liu Zhifen, and asked Xiao Ze to hurry up.
She turned around and asked Xiao Che, "Are you going?"
Xiao Che already hated Shen Mingzhu, and since the engagement had not been broken off yet, he felt even more embarrassed and humiliated. He stood up angrily and growled: "I want to break off the engagement!"
