Chapter 1269 Self-confidence
In ancient times, wealthy families made faces and took concubines for maids, which seemed to be an insignificant little thing to outsiders, but in the circle of relatives and women, it was undoubtedly a very grand event. △,
First, it involves the party involved in his life. The entire ceremony of becoming a concubine is equivalent to getting married. Put yourself in the shoes of the house and not to be taken lightly. Relatives and friends should send a blessing.
Secondly, women in ancient times lived a boring life, so how could they miss any opportunity to gather? Whenever there was a turbulence, they would be shocked.
The third reason is curiosity. In order to satisfy the gossip, we must also rush over and ask clearly and inquire about the stories that we have to tell in the inner house.
In short, on weekdays, the wives and wives who are good friends with Du Qianqian come to ask questions, such as asking where the new house is? Which day is the auspicious day? How many tables of banquets should be held? What interesting things to entertain during the meal, etc.
With such indirect attacks, it is easy to observe what happened through Du Qianqian's reaction and the importance he attached to this matter. In addition to satisfying the women's psychology of exploring other people's *****, it is also to understand Hongwen's status in front of his wife in advance, and then he knows what level of gifts he should give, and he also has a clear idea of how to deal with Hongwen in the future.
Things in the inner house are always extremely subtle, and any small thing can lead to a large chain reaction. Open and secret criticism does not only belong to the officialdom, but it does not mean that it is a good thing to be a concubine. After all, all the dignity of a concubine comes from the head of the wife, unless the head of the wife is weak and can be bullied.
Du Qianqian knew this and smiled and said, "Don't hurry to ask how to arrange it. Hongwen will be a girl from Lanxiang for a few years. Therefore, my master is afraid of being discussed now, so this time it will not be lively."
A wife said disapprovingly: "What's this? After all, it's just a girl. The wife praised her, that's her fate. She's not a daughter, so what are you worried about? Nowadays, there are many teenagers and teenagers, and no one has ever laughed at anyone."
Others also echoed. Confucian etiquette and law have been emphasized since ancient times, which is a moral constraint on a gentleman on himself, and the law cannot be controlled. In history, Cao Mengde, who likes his wife, etc. Li Zhi, who likes his father and his wife, and Emperor Minghuang, who likes his daughter-in-law, and then look at the current trends. Is it a matter of the maid who takes a daughter?
Du Qianqian said tactfully: "Because of our persuasion, he reluctantly agreed, but he would never make a big deal. Please be patient and wait. It is better to find a name for yourself after the matter is done. We will have a lot of fun for a few days. At that time, the raw rice was cooked and cooked, so he had to let us make a fuss."
The ladies nodded one after another, and Du Qianqian said again: "By the way, please go back and remind the masters of each family not to joke with my master, just pretend that there is no such thing."
Someone said, "What are you afraid of? It's not that your origin is unknown, and that you are not forcibly occupying and buying. Doesn't your wife seem to have a ghost in her heart when she gives this order?"
"You don't know the reason for this." Du Qianqian smiled bitterly, "You all say I can't live without Hongwen. Yes, there is, but why do I have to do this? At worst, I can choose one among the girls who are outstanding in all aspects, and worry about teaching for a year or two. Can you help me differently?
Actually, I am for Aunt Chen. You know her character well. If Hongwen is taken away, she will be able to stand up from this?"
"So that's it." The guy suddenly realized.
"Oh!" Du Qianqian let out a long sigh and smiled, "After all, Aunt Chen and Hongwen are better. I am determined to help them. Otherwise, it is not a trivial matter to accept a girl as a concubine. Just for Hongwen, the master of my family is concerned about his reputation and disagreement. He finally convinced me. He only hopes that no one will make fun of him in the past two days, for fear that he will regret it, so I refuse to make a fuss, because I am afraid that good things will not happen."
These words were said in a reasonable and reasonable manner. The wives of each family finally understood why. Everyone couldn't help but say admiration in their hearts. It was indeed a great charity.
Although Du Qianqian chose Hongwen, she had her selfish desires, but her selfish desires were open and upright. Who wouldn't want to praise her own people? It is precisely because Hongwen is Mu Lanxiang's personal maid, Du Qianqian's actions that do not care about the reputation of the Mu family are particularly valuable, and it is impossible for anyone who values love to do it.
Hongwen is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary in this matter. Aunt Chen, who has obtained his identity, has a great benefit. Mu Ang also got a young beauty, and Aunt Zhenqing was liberated and no longer needed to serve the master. On the contrary, no matter how you look at it, it would be of no benefit to Du Qianqian.
As for helpers, Hongwen can still help if she doesn’t become a concubine. It’s not necessarily her that she is the one who belongs to the big prince’s mansion.
What is the virtue of the head wife? That’s it!
Being a good wife is not easy. Just like every successful superior, the essential quality is to know how to suppress personal likes and dislikes, not act in anger, for success, harmony, and reputation, you must balance all interests as much as possible, and even compromise with the irreconcilable enemies.
Why is Wang Xifeng so smart and capable person who devoted himself to the Jia family but could not get the understanding of the whole family? She did not have such a demeanor, even if she was hypocritical.
In the afternoon, Du Qianqian, who had sent off the wives from each family, called Hongwen over, told her in person, and gave her a good advice, warning Hongwen to be humble and tolerant in everything, to be gentle and peaceful, to be respectful to others, and to do things in a decent manner, to live up to this promotion.
It is really a promotion. The big family is exactly the same as the private enterprises in later generations. Hongwen is equivalent to entering the core management class from the chairman's personal assistant.
Hongwen, who was mentally prepared, lowered her head and listened, and responded slightly with a red face. She was extremely ecstatic and thought to herself that what I fear most was to send out to be a servant and show kindness to the flower farmers that day. There was no way to do it, just because she was afraid that Qiuping, Sier and the others would laugh!
"Now my wife has taken the initiative to plead with me, I am a concubine. The master is in his prime and looks good, and is also a first-class official. Even though I am a concubine, I am a hundred times better than them!"
So satisfied, she walked up shyly, kowtowed to her wife three times respectfully, and then covered her face and ran to a remote room to hide, fearing that like Qiuping that day, she would be laughed at by her sisters.
Du Qianqian, who knew her mind, didn't ask her to serve her. She ordered people to clean up a room, and her decoration inside and out was completely renovated. All the furniture in the room was compared with the furnishings of the two aunts.
He quietly called in a few needleworkers, quickly sewed more than a dozen sets of dresses, and bought several sets of jewelry.
However, the maids assigned to Hongwen showed a difference between them and the young masters and ladies. Even in the palace of Prince Mu, only one and a half girls were assigned.
On April 26th, the weather was very happy. Du Qianqian, who did not want to disturb outsiders, prepared several banquets and invited her sisters to have a drink and watch the ceremony.
In the morning, in front of everyone, Du Qianqian personally opened her face to Hongwen. Amid a series of congratulations, both the servants and servants inside and outside gave rewards.
At noon, I had a banquet, and without Mu Ang's participation, I was in the licheng.
In the evening, after seeing off the guests, Du Qianqian pulled Mu Ang to see the new house.
The new house is a small world, two bright and one dark wing rooms, and three ear rooms on one side, flowers, plants and bamboo in the yard, pavilions, rockery swings, etc.
When you go out, you will be under the south window of Du Qianqian's main room. There is another corridor, so you can enter and exit freely without going through this side.
Du Qianqian smiled and said to her husband, "You've been so cute. Do you think I have a new aunt who treats you so much? I'm confident that this matter is done in full. But you didn't take any time and enjoy the success. How should I thank me?"
"You have been cheated to death by me." Mu Ang smiled helplessly, "When my brother-in-law and friends find out, how can I not take the opportunity to make fun of me? I don't blame you for being good, but I want to thank you? There is nothing to do. You should ask Shen Niang to thank you, you are indeed considerate to her."
Du Qianqian immediately spat and said, "Bah! Why did I cheat you? People are kind enough to ask you for a wife, what do you think I am willing? What are you shameful? Do you want to ask for a concubine if you don't see other people's men? There are so many noises in the main room, and even many people are trying hard to do it. Humph! I have never seen a bad person like me who takes the initiative to arrange a beautiful concubine for you, and you are going to be good at it when you get it. I say this is not good, and that is not good. Am I crazy?"
As he spoke, Du Qianqian couldn't help but feel a little angry. After all, no woman was willing to share her husband with other women.
"Forget it, are you not happy?"
Du Qianqian looked at her husband angrily, "Then I will just find someone to send it out tomorrow. I want to have a beauty like Hongwen, but I am worried that no one will marry me? Some men are eager to get it! Let's make it clear now. Don't go through tomorrow night, and you can't make it back, so hurry up and make it clear today."
Mu Ang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I said something and then led to your nagging. I won't say anything, right?" After that, he left.
"Hmph! Be good at it when you get it," Du Qianqian cursed.
Her face turned open and she couldn't regret it. She was so unhappy that she was so angry that she called Hongwen out again and said in a deep voice: "From now on, you have a settlement. It's not like when you are a girl. You must abide by the rules in everything. Don't take a step or say a word, otherwise the family rules of the Mu family will not tolerate you."
"Yes." Hongwen, dressed in big red clothes, hurriedly replied.
Du Qianqian said again: "Anyway, you have to remember to give me a sigh, so that I will not be in vain to help you. When you give birth to a boy in the future, I will definitely praise you. You know the character of our master. As long as you are diligent and dedicate, he will like it. Remember not to rely on your favor, make trouble for nothing, and have the kindness of letting down my aunt and I.
You must know that the master refused to accept you, but we repeatedly persuaded you. Both concubines are honest people. You should respect them in everything and learn from them to be human beings."
Du Qianqian said this from the bottom of her heart. Mu Ang’s wife and concubines were much quieter than Xu Hao’s inner house. In contrast, no one family is performing the Legend of Zhen Huan, including the imperial concubine Sun Wangyue who is pointing her sword at the rear.
Du Qianqian said with emotion: "When my aunt heard that the master wanted to ask for concubine again, she was afraid of being favored by the newcomer, and she cried, made a fuss and hanged her. She was the one who had never given birth to a child in her family. She tried every means to block it? Needless to say, Aunt Chen was not jealous, and she was even more convinced than me, and even hit the master's nail for you."
"Yes, I know how to be grateful." Hongwen said gratefully.
"It's good to know." Du Qianqian changed the subject, "Of course, it's because you are the one I have to use and can understand what I mean, but in the end, most people are not as good as her. So you are not allowed to fight with her in the future. If you dare to bully her, I will not rely on it. Well, you are not a fool, so you don't need me to continue to speak deeply, and you will naturally understand it in your heart."
"Please rest assured, madam." Hongwen hurriedly raised her head and said seriously: "I am praised by the wife, and the aunt said that this kindness is like a parent. Even if the wife does not command me, I will not dare to let my wife down."
Du Qianqian nodded slowly and said, "I hope so, go to bed, I don't need you to serve you here."
Hongwen, who took over Aunt Chen's class, came back to her new house. According to convention, due to the face of his wife and other old people, men who became groom officers generally would not come to fulfill the house that night, at least the second night, so Hongwen was very calm in her mood.
When facing the moment when he is about to become a woman, to be honest, only those women who are sick with princess will be so-called mixed feelings, endlessly remembering, and so on. Normal girls are nothing more than a bit scared and expectant mentality. As a man breaks through that layer of chastity, he will pass by. Which woman in the world is not like this? It doesn’t matter how nostalgia is.
In traditional concepts, ancient women were conservative and modern women were open, but in fact they were also true. Anyone who loved history must understand that the life of rich people in ancient times was so shameless, and all kinds of behaviors that were shocking in modern society were called romantic in ancient times.
For maids like Hongwen, dignity and personality are not worth a penny. Is the integrity of the gods worth a penny? Of course, everyone's concepts vary from person to person, and many people still have the mentality of being one to the end.
In short, Hongwen is not bound by a little conservative concept. Living in a closed world in a wealthy family is nothing more than having no chance. Otherwise, she would have taken the initiative to hook up with Xu Yu long ago. This is the true mentality of many servants. In order to strive for the best, she must do anything to do.
Hongwen is ready to use all kinds of things to please the master, and she is eager to be popular overnight.
At this moment, she stood alone in the room, slowly took off her clothes, admired her delicate body in front of the mirror, and muttered to herself softly.
"Mrs. I'm not saying anything to me."
Hongwen raised her hand and stroked her chest. After a brief gratitude, she suddenly felt a hint of pride, "I served her since I was a child, and this time I was praised by her again. Can I disrespect me? Besides, my wife is the original wife of the first-rank imperial concubine and the third master of the Xu family. How dare I compare? I must not have that qualification."
His fingers were floating on his skin, and Hongwen gasped slightly like learning, trying to make various stimulating movements that stimulated the man and showed a charming expression in excitement.
"What's so great about the aunt? It's just a few years earlier and I have raised my children. What's so strange about it? Which woman can't give birth to? It's ridiculous that I respect them in everything and learn from them as a human being. I just can't accept it."
Speaking of this, Hongwen's expression became disdainful, "It's really annoying. In the past, I was my wife's personal girl, and I became a girl's personal girl. They are concubines. What's the difference between them? Now I am also a concubine, why are you shorter than them? The wife said that Aunt Chen also advised the master to accept me, and even if the wife said this, I wouldn't believe it."
The little hand touched the mountain from this side to the mountain, and then walked down the smooth and white skin to reach the thin waist that was not full.
Hongwen gently stroked her particularly perky little butt, giggled, and stared at the gurgling valley below her abdomen that could make men crazy.
A smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Young is capital. He said proudly: "It's not that I am conceited. My appearance, my figure, my temperament, and my heart are not as good as a lady? What's more, Aunt Chen, who is from a small family, who relies on being dedicated to her wife and I can do it. It's not difficult. I just want my belly to be successful and have a son in a year, so that I can block my wife's mouth."
Turning around, Hongwen faced the door naked, her eyes gradually became extremely charming and debauchery, and she was also extremely confident.
"From today, she will not provoke me, and I will not provoke her; if she wants to oppress me, then I will not blame me.
At that time, even if a wife supports you, I will not be afraid. Haha! Because it is fake to please the wife, and it is real to please the master!
