Jia Zheng was having a drink with Qin Ye, and the maid who had brought them tea just now sneaked into the back house.
This back house is different from other places. It is a completely different world from other places in the Qin Mansion. Every detail is exquisitely designed, and the carved beams and painted buildings are all made by famous artists. Although it is small, it is exquisite. A lot of money was spent on this place alone.
If others come in and see it, they will definitely be surprised by the luxury of this place. If we only focus on its exquisiteness regardless of its size, many palaces of princes and nobles will not be as good as it.
The little maid came to the back house and came to the downstairs of an exquisitely designed and beautiful show. She shouted a few words to the top, "Ruizhu, Ruizhu, come down quickly. I have something to tell you."
After a while, the door of the building opened, and a little maid came out from the building. She was pretty and lovely, but she had a bit of arrogance on her face. When she saw the little maid who called her, she said angrily: "What's your name?"
Where's the call? Miss is painting upstairs, and a big piece of paper was ruined by your call."
The little girl knew that she was a little rude just now, so she stuck out her tongue and showed an embarrassed expression.
Regarding the tone of Ruizhu's words just now, he probably already knew her temper, so he was not angry. Instead, he waved to her furtively.
Seeing her mysterious look, Ruizhu walked up to her and said, "What's so mysterious?"
The little girl smiled and said: "This is a big deal for the lady. If I tell you, you will reward me."
When Ruizhu heard what she said, she immediately became alert, took out a piece of broken silver from her arms, handed it to her and said, "Here you go, it's yours, can you say it now?"
The little girl looked around and saw no one around, then said to Ruizhu: "Someone just came to propose marriage to the young lady, and the master has agreed. In a few days, the other party will come to deliver the letter of engagement."
Ruizhu's eyes immediately stood up after hearing this, and he said angrily to the little maid: "Don't talk nonsense. If you ruin the honor of the young lady, let's see how the master will deal with you."
"I came here to tell you a message with good intentions. It's fine if you don't believe it. You want to falsely accuse me. If you had known, I wouldn't have come." The little girl said and walked out angrily.
When Ruizhu saw that the little maid didn't seem to be telling lies, she quickly stopped her and apologized to her: "Good sister, please forgive me for this. I just said the wrong thing, so don't take it to heart."
That's it." After saying that, he took out a piece of silver from his arms and put it in her hand.
The little maid then turned from anger to joy, turned around and said to him: "I'm telling you the truth, Master Jia, who is proposing to marry me, hasn't left yet. She is drinking with him in front."
"Which Mr. Jia is it? Who is our future uncle?" Ruizhu asked anxiously. This is related to the young lady's lifelong happiness. The young lady would not hesitate to ask. Only she, a personal maid, came.
The little maid said with envy: "Our young lady is really a lucky person. The person who proposed marriage just now was Mr. Jia Zheng of Rongguo Mansion. It was for his eldest son to propose marriage for young lady. Unfortunately, he is only a concubine. If he is a legitimate son,
That would be perfect.”
Ruizhu panicked after hearing this. How could her future uncle be just a concubine? Others didn't know that she didn't know that her young lady looked gentle and virtuous, but actually she was such a proud and arrogant person on the inside. Now
I have no choice but to marry a concubine, and I don’t know how heartbroken I will be.
Ruizhu chatted with the maid for a few more words before sending her away. Then she returned to the show building, closed the door, and then walked to the second floor of the show building.
Ruizhu went up to the second floor and came to an exquisite study room. One wall of the study room was a row of bookshelves filled with books. Next to the bookshelves was a desk with tables and stools made of huanghuali.
It was carved by skilled craftsmen. Next to it is the Duobao Pavilion, which is separated from the outside. The Duobao Pavilion is filled with all kinds of exquisite porcelain, white jade ornaments, and jade carvings. The things on this shelf are ordinary enough.
How many lifetimes can people enjoy it?
There is also a large table made of sandalwood outside. There is a lady painting there. The painting is a picture of an outing. I can see that this lady has gained weight and lost weight. There is both dignity and beauty between her eyebrows.
She is pretty and has a graceful figure. Of course she thought she was a fairy in a painting, not a mortal woman.
Ruizhu came to the young lady and hesitated to speak, her eyes full of uneasiness.
The young lady already knew it when she came to her side. Seeing her being so coy, she asked: "What's the matter with staying down for so long and looking like this when you come up? If you have anything to say, just say it, can I still eat you?"
.”
Ruizhu then said: "Miss, the little girl who was waiting in front of me just now came to give me a message. She said that the master has already betrothed you to someone else, and now the master is having wine with his father-in-law in the front yard."
When the young lady heard what she said, she asked as if she didn't care: "Which hotel did you book for me? And which young man is it?" After saying this, her face was already flushed, and her face seemed to be smeared with rouge.
, a little more charming.
Ruizhu pouted and did not speak, but secretly glanced at the young lady. Seeing her like this, the young lady had a bad feeling in her heart and asked uncertainly: "Is there something wrong? You should tell me quickly.
Yeah, I’m so anxious.”
Ruizhu couldn't hide it anymore, so she said: "Miss, they are quite nice. They are from the famous Rongguo Mansion in the capital. But..."
As it was related to her life-long event, the young lady did not care about being shy and asked anxiously: "Just what?"
Ruizhu gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, and said: "It's just that he is not the legitimate son of Rongguo Mansion, he is just a bastard."
When the young lady heard what she said, she breathed a sigh of relief and cursed coquettishly: "You damn girl, you scared me to death. What did I think it was? It turned out to be just this. If you were just a bastard, you would have saved a lot of trouble."
In the future, as long as two people are good, I will be afraid of not having enough food to eat if I only have a house full of stuff."
In fact, this young lady was also a little disappointed, and what she just said was just to comfort herself.
Ruizhu thought the same thing. Although the young lady is not the biological child of the old man, the master loves her to the core. The dowry prepared for the young lady over the years is probably several times more than the dowry left to the young master in the house?
I just didn't expect that their young ladies were arrogant and arrogant. Although they didn't care on the surface, they were filled with all sorts of worries in their hearts.
In the afternoon, a little maid came to report that the master asked the young lady to go to his study.
So the young lady took her maid Ruizhu and walked lightly to the small study room of Qin Ye in the back house. As soon as she entered the small study room, the young lady saluted Qin Ye. Qin Ye didn't know why, but turned sideways.
I accepted half a courtesy from her.
The young lady seemed to be used to it. She didn't have any other expression, but asked softly: "Dad, I don't know what's wrong with calling my daughter."
Qin Ye then returned to the desk and sat down, then asked the young lady to sit down, and then said to her: "But Qing, I have arranged a marriage for you. That family is also a good family, you go
I feel relieved about his family."
It turns out that this young lady is called Qin Keqing, and she is the girl adopted by Qin Ye.
It turned out that Mrs. Qin Ye died young. Since she had no children, she went to the Yangsheng Hall to adopt a son and a daughter. However, the adopted son died for no reason. Only Qin Keqing was left as a daughter, so Qin Ye treated her as if she were a child.
The apple of your eye.
Anyone who knew the inside story would probably wonder why Qin Ye didn't adopt his children from his distant brother when he was about fifty years old, but instead went to a health care center to adopt children. The purpose of adopting children is usually to continue cigarettes and continue the family line.
It was supposed to be a boy, but why did he adopt a girl instead? After he had adopted him, why was he so careless about the son? He died so easily, and Qin Keqing survived alone. Since it was not difficult to adopt a son from the Yangsheng Hall,
After the son died, why didn't he adopt another one immediately? All these are full of doubts.
In the next few years, Qin Ye gave birth to a son. This was Qin Ye's biological son Qin Zhong, which showed that Qin Ye was not infertile. The mystery makes people think more carefully.
When Qin Keqing heard what Qin Ye said, he lowered his head and said softly: "Marriage matters have been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker since ancient times. The father makes the final decision on his daughter's marriage."
Qin Ye stroked his beard, his face was relaxed, as if he had put down a heavy burden. He smiled and said to Qin Keqing: "Even so, I still want to let you know. Let you know which family the man is from."
When Qin Keqing heard what Qin Ye said, she just lowered her head and blushed and said nothing.
Qin Ye continued: "The talented man I told you about is the eldest son of the concubine of Rongguo Mansion." After saying this, he looked up at her and saw her face was calm.
Qin Ye then said again: "Don't underestimate this eldest son of a concubine. This man is no small matter. He is only seventeen or eighteen years old. Now he has been named Wuyang Marquis by the emperor and the governor of Xuanfu Town. He can be said to be a high-ranking person."
The emperor has already built a mansion for him next to the Rongguo Mansion. When you get married, you only need to take care of your own home, and you don’t need to participate in other matters."
Qin Ye told her this because he also knew the situation in Rongguo Mansion. In the future, Rongguo Mansion will probably be inherited by two legitimate sons of Jia Zheng. And the eldest son of the concubine may not get any property, but fortunately, the eldest son of the concubine is still able to live up to his expectations.
The young couple don't have to worry about their future life after getting married.
After Qin Keqing heard Qin Ye's words, although she didn't show it on her face, she couldn't help feeling happy in her heart.
Although she said just now that she didn't care about the identity of her eldest son, she still felt a little disappointed in her heart.
After all, the distinction between legitimate concubines and concubines has existed since ancient times. Bastards are generally not welcome at home. After she marries a concubine, although she will have no worries about her future life with the dowry she brought. But which daughter doesn't want her husband to be
Someone who has a future, rather than living on his wife's dowry.
Now when I heard what Qin Ye said, I realized that this eldest son of a concubine was ten times and a hundred times stronger than the young masters in Rongguo Mansion.
Come to think of it, this progressive eldest son of a common concubine is probably a miserable man, otherwise he would not have gone to the border to work hard in his teens. Even with the help of the Rongguo Mansion, he was able to rise quickly, but without his own efforts, there would be no results today.
.
Qin Keqing is satisfied now, but she also feels a little distressed for her future husband-in-law. It seems that he is not living well in Rongguo Mansion. But think about it, even ordinary bastards will be discriminated against in the mansion.
What's more, he is the eldest son, so he will definitely be targeted by the head wife. When he was young, he must have been soaked in bitter water. How can this not make people feel distressed.
