Chapter 262: The Crisis of Eleven, the Luo Family’s Trouble
When the old man of the Luo family was in Beijing, he had a good relationship with the old marquis of the Xu family. He married his granddaughter Yuan Niang to Xu Lingyi regardless of the eldest wife's dissatisfaction. Now that the world's wealth has come, everyone praises the old man of the Luo family for his good vision and the eldest daughter is so lucky.
.
【Are you so lucky...】
Luo Shiniang couldn't help but smile when she thought of the praise and yearning for Luo Yuanniang from her hometown in Beijing.
Luo Yuanniang is twenty-seven this year, and she has the legitimate son of the Hou family under her knees. The eleventh mother was still young when she got married. She has been listening to the legend of this eldest sister for many years, and she has long been regarded as a distant god-like existence. p>
She has outstanding appearance, extraordinary talent, married a powerful man of the day, and gave birth to a legitimate son... All the happiness that can be imagined in the world can be found in her.
Unexpectedly...
Ever since she entered the Yongping Marquis' Mansion and saw Luo Yuanniang's real situation, Eleven Niang had completely given up her fantasy. It was really as if she was as deep as the sea as soon as she entered the Marquis's house. In her eyes, the life of the Marquis was far from good.
This is not what she thinks as a eleven-year-old girl.
Even her fifth sister Luo Wuniang, who was always aggressive by nature, couldn't help but take a deep breath when she saw the situation in Yongpinghou's house.
Behind Luo Yuanniang's seemingly beautiful scenery, there are so many dangers.
It is true, as the saying goes, that good fortune lies in the presence of misfortune, and misfortune lies in the presence of good fortune.
As the legitimate daughter of a minister of the Ministry of Rites marrying the second son of the Hou family, the eldest wife of the Luo family was very dissatisfied. Naturally, these emotions were introduced to the Xu family along with the dowry maids and envoys. Unlike the Xu family,
The martial arts in the north are different. The Luo family has lived in the southern province for a long time, and the customs of the two families are very different.
Even in later generations, if a northerner suddenly comes to the south, he will have various discomforts, and there will be some collisions and even frictions, let alone ancient times?
The servants Yuan Niang brought were all direct descendants of the eldest lady, who had been carefully selected by the eldest lady. Naturally, they also implemented some of the eldest lady's attitude toward Xu Lingyi. Although they were not rude and disrespectful, due to the very different customs of the two sides, they were just a few things at first.
Misunderstandings can become difficult to resolve over time.
These few words reached Mrs. Xu's ears. Although they did not make her angry, she was still unhappy.
But as the saying goes, if you are not deaf or dumb, you are not a family man. Mrs. Xu still has this kind of tolerance. Besides, Luo Yuanniang is beautiful and dignified, well-educated and sensible. She is also respectful to her, which is also in line with her wishes. But a few years ago, Yuanniang had a miscarriage, and the imperial doctor who came to diagnose her had an old relationship with the Xu family. She told the whole story and told the lady clearly that Luo Yuanniang was weak and had some congenital deficiencies. I'm afraid...
Everything has changed.
Mrs. Xu Jiatai immediately took the initiative and stopped the medicine for Qin and Tong, the two cousins in Xu Lingyi's room in front of Yuanniang's door, and adopted the eldest daughter of the Yangzhou Wen family for her son.
The Wen family, one of the largest businessmen in Southern Province, actually agreed to let their direct daughter marry the Marquis of Yongping as a concubine.
I don’t know if it was because of the depression after the miscarriage that Luo Yuanniang gradually fell out of harmony with Mr. Hou.
According to the information Dongqing and the others got back, the trigger was the death of Aunt Tong.
I heard from the mothers-in-law that the cause of death was fetal contraction.
One corpse, two lives...
Not long after, the Tongfang Qin family raised their aunt because of the birth of their eldest son Yu Geer, and the young lady of the Wen family also gave birth to a daughter not long after.
Seeing this, Luo Yuanniang asked Qiu Luo, her personal maid, to be the companion of Yong Pinghou. Finally, Qiu Luo became pregnant and gave birth to a son the next year, but the child died before reaching full term.
This was so good that gossip immediately spread in the house, saying that although the women from the southern province were good, their bodies were too weak and they were far inferior to the women from the north.
What's even worse is that rumors mentioned the death of Aunt Tong, saying that Luo Yuanniang secretly disposed of the Tong family. They also said that Qiu Luo looked five or six times similar to the deceased Aunt Tong. Luo Yuanniang killed Aunt Tong.
, I can only pay for Qiu Luo, who looks similar to Aunt Tong...
The rumors are quite good, and the most fatal point is that Luo Yuanniang went to see the doctor slowly when Aunt Tong had a miscarriage. This was said to be because Luo Yuanniang was jealous and thought it was a way to compete for Aunt Tong's favor.
Rumors have no wings, but they fly faster than those with wings.
After a set of combination punches, even Luo Yuanniang was stunned.
Thinking of this, Luo Shiniang secretly sighed, no matter what, Luo Yuanniang is just a woman in her early twenties. These rumors are obviously intended to slander Yuanniang. According to this logic, then Nan Province
Who does Aunt Wen come from?
Seeing Yuanniang's situation take a turn for the worse, the eldest wife of the Luo family panicked. She didn't expect that the slight slight she had felt back then would turn out to be like this.
I prayed to so many gods, worshiped so many Buddhas, and I don’t know how many secret recipes I searched for, and how many side medicines I took. Finally, in the eighth year of marriage, we got the good news. Who knew that the child was born prematurely in the seventh month of pregnancy?
I gave birth to a son who was too weak to even cry a few times, and named him Brother Zhun.
But the big stone weighing on Luo Yuanniang's heart has not relaxed at all.
I don’t know if Yongping Hou Xu Lingyi really fell out with his married wife. The eldest son of the Hou Mansion is actually not the eldest son of the Hou Mansion!
According to the regulations of the Great Xia Dynasty on honorable ministers, when a son is born in a noble family, regardless of whether he is a direct descendant, he must submit a petition to the palace for the title, and the palace will confirm and give feedback before his identity can be recognized.
In many noble families, where it is difficult to determine the heir at the moment, they often only report their birth, and the matter of applying for a title is dealt with separately.
Brother Zhun is already five years old this year, but the Yongping Marquis Mansion still has not asked the palace for a title to confirm the identity of his eldest son. As his biological mother, Luo Yuanniang has to be anxious.
Qiansheng tried her best to give birth to her legitimate son, but the side effects of the strong medicine she had taken before gradually appeared. Even though Yuanniang was less than thirty, she knew her own affairs. She was very exhausted and could not support her son until he grew up.<
/p>
At this time, Mrs. Luo, who was still far away in Southern Province, gave her daughter an idea...
Eleven Niang’s hands on the edge of her skirt were tightly clenched into fists, and there was an unspeakable anger in her heart.
[Can just one letter decide my fate...]
It wasn't until she met Luo Yuanniang, the eldest sister who was trying her best to support her and didn't want to show her illness in front of her, that Luo Shiniang was shocked to realize that she was specially summoned from Southern Province by the eldest wife and Yuanniang as a candidate for concubine.
Coming.
Along with her as a candidate is the fifth lady of the Luo family, whose biological mother is the eldest lady’s personal maid.
The eleventh mother is fourteen years old this year, and the fifth mother is nineteen.
Lifting the corner of the curtain, Eleven glanced at Luo Wuniang's driver, who was walking alongside him, and sighed in his heart.
Unfortunately, his biological mother, Aunt Lu, told her that this trip to Beijing was really a disaster!
The eldest wife's plan is very simple and cruel. Luo Yuanniang's health is failing, so let a girl from the family marry into the Hou Mansion as a stepmother to take care of Yuanniang's young and frail son, and also stabilize the relationship between the two families.
.
As for who to choose, it will naturally depend on how long Luo Yuanniang can last.
If it doesn't work right away, then let Wu Niang marry her. If Yuan Niang can survive for another year or two, then let Eleven Niang...
Luo Yuanniang must also be aware of this. Just now on the viewing platform, the eldest sister used Jia Lan to beat her words, which was nothing more than making herself give up and wait for her fate to come.
"Miss, it's windy outside..."
Eleven Niang put down the curtain, gritted her teeth, and looked a little stubborn.
