Chapter 184: The Concubine
"There is another thing, your mother is ready to return the marriage of your concubine Meng who has not passed through the door, what do you think of this matter?"
Zhen Qian looked up at Zhen Sheng, there was a problem with this sentence, Zhen Sheng didn't say that he had returned the Meng clan, but carried the Xing clan out, could it be that Zhen Sheng had other ideas?
"As soon as the child returned to Zhending, he heard people talk about this matter, and the child thinks that this matter is absolutely inappropriate, and it will do no harm to the Zhen family!"
Zhen Qianyi gritted his teeth and said: "This matter is obviously Ma Changshi's bullying, since the Meng family is my concubine who has not yet passed the door, if it is given to Ma Changshi, what will others think, they will definitely think that the Zhen family is afraid of Ma Changshi, and there is a suspicion of clinging to Ma Changshi, the Zhen family is not only discredited and can never raise their heads, but also has a bad ...... for their father's official reputation."
"Oh!" Zhen Sheng squinted at Zhen Qian, as if he didn't know Zhen Qian, "Then tell me why you don't treat my official reputation well!" ”
Ma Changshi wanted to marry Meng Xiaoya as a concubine, although there was a reason why Ma Changshi was lustful, but Ma Changshi did not rob it openly, but asked Zhen Qian to take Meng Xiaoya off through the criminal family, and then marry Meng Xiaoya, which shows that Ma Changshi is also worried that the Zhen family will not agree to this family business, and the Zhen family is not a small family that is kneaded by mud idols, Ma Changshi used a relatively mild method to force the Zhen family to hand over Meng Xiaoya.
The worst thing about this matter is that the Xing clan helped Zhen Qian agree to come down, and everyone in the world knows it, and they are all waiting to see the jokes of the Zhen family, although the Xing clan hit Zhen Qian by doing this, but it hurt the interests of the Zhen family, and the gains obviously outweigh the losses.
Zhen Qian was betting on what Zhen Sheng was thinking, if even Zhen Sheng wanted to give Meng Xiaoya to Ma Changshi, even if he insisted, it would be useless, Zhen Sheng could take a letter of resignation and break off the marriage relationship with Meng Xiaoya, and Ma Changshi could also justifiably marry Meng Xiaoya as a concubine.
"I have never been an official, but I also know the principles and things of being an official, to be an official, to be an official, to be moral, meritorious, and to speak, there are only three things to be an official: clear, prudent, and diligent. Knowing these three can protect the position, far from shame, and can get the knowledge from above, and get the help from below. It is immoral to give his son's concubine to Shangguan, because it is careless to cling to other officials because of beauty, and it is not clear whether the pros and cons are clear, which is very unfavorable to the father's official reputation, and others will think that the father is a villain who climbs the dragon and attaches the phoenix, does the father want to gain a foothold in the officialdom? ”
Zhen Sheng smiled coldly, "I'm so sharp-toothed, I didn't expect to see this matter so thoroughly, but I'm afraid you didn't want to say that in your heart!" Or not...... Since you don't want to, I won't force you, I have already asked people to carry the Meng family back to the mansion, and after worshipping the ancestors, you can take her back to Luquan County! ”
The matter of sending concubines in the officialdom has been around since ancient times, and it has become a common practice in the Song Dynasty, Su Dongpo has given his concubines to change to donkeys to ride, and it is said that the concubines still have Su Shi's children in their stomachs, and this matter has been rumored to be a beautiful talk for a while. What later generations thought was shameful, the ancients thought it was sparse and ordinary, and the status of concubines can be seen. It is conceivable that the matter is not as serious as Zhen Qian said, Zhen Qian is just confusing the public, you must know that the concubine can't be lifted to the table at all, even if it is the turn of the concubine to treat people at home, it is more appropriate to regard the concubine as a commodity, since it is something to give away, it is understandable.
Zhen Qian didn't know what Zhen Sheng was thinking, but he obviously wouldn't think as Zhen Qian said, I'm afraid it was true that he wanted to borrow his own eloquence.
It doesn't matter who is taking advantage of this matter, since the Xing clan is against him everywhere, it would be strange if Zhen Qian didn't fight back.
"Thank you, father!"
"You go back first, remember to come over for dinner in the evening, no matter how unhappy you are in your heart, Xing is your mother after all, you can't do too much in everything, understand?"
"Got it!"
Zhen Sheng was beating himself, for fear that Zhen Qian would cause something again, and suddenly found that this son was becoming more and more individual, and it was becoming more and more difficult to control.
As soon as I returned to my old house, I saw Xiaomei standing at the door with a bitter face, like a lost soul like a Wangfu cliff.
"Little girl, what's the matter, who bullied you, tell me, I went to beat him all over the ground looking for teeth!"
Xiaomei's eyes were full of frustration, and she couldn't help but say: "Meng Shi is here, and it's in Lang Jun's room!" ”
"Just this matter makes my Xiaomei like this, are you worried that Lang Jun will not like you in the future?" Although I knew that Meng Xiaoya's appearance would be a big blow to Xiaomei, there must be a solution to this matter, and I didn't want to drag it out any longer.
"Will Lang Jun still like Xiaomei in the future?"
"Silly girl, what are you talking about? Why do you say I like you? "The methods of coaxing girls throughout the ages are almost the same, Zhen Qian immediately began to play tactics in his heart, guiding Xiaomei's thoughts to other places, as long as this period of time passes, the knot in his heart will be untied.
"Lang Jun is naturally because Xiaomei is empathetic!"
"Isn't that right? No matter what happens in the future, Xiaomei is irreplaceable in Lang Jun's heart, give Lang Jun a smile! ”
"I'm sick of it!"
Zhen Qian walked into the room, Wang Tianxing pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "People are inside, the second master just let people carry him back, and his mood is quite unstable, I can't help with this!" ”
"Get out! Say anything, don't say it if you can't say it! ”
Zhen Qian also has a big head, just now Zhen Sheng has set a marriage for himself, and now he has given Meng Xiaoya to himself, this is to push all the problems to himself, obviously to push Zhen Qian to the opposite side of Ma Changshi, and the Zhen family can retreat from this matter.
Although he knew that Zhen Sheng was not kind, Zhen Qian could only bite the bullet, pushed open the door, and saw Meng Xiaoya sitting on the edge of the bed at a glance, dressed in a woman's Confucian skirt, with a girdle around her waist, and only a copper hairpin on her head.
Meng Xiaoya rubbed a silk handkerchief in her hand and bowed her head and wept silently, her eyes were already red from crying, and she felt sorry for Meng Xiaoya when she thought about it. At the beginning, he was shocked and lost his memory, but he was sentenced to a fool to be a concubine, God opened his eyes, the fool is not stupid, and then kicked himself home, this is not a glorious thing, others are talking about Meng Xiaoya behind their backs, saying everything, and some people even say that Meng Xiaoya does not abide by women's morals, and was cleaned up by the Zhen family, Meng Xiaoya even has the heart to hang herself.
Suffered from the white eyes of others, and lived in a silent manner, but the matter was not over, he was actually favored by a sixty-year-old Ma Changshi, and wanted to marry home as a concubine in the ninth room.
Meng Xiaoya chose to hang herself, but she was found and saved, but no one sympathized with Meng Xiaoya, and sneered in front of Meng Xiaoya and said: Why don't you die cleanly.
Death can't die, life can't live, Meng Xiaoya is ready to marry Ma Changshi, a man who is about the same as her grandfather, and this life is over.
At this moment, the Zhen family sent someone to take Meng Xiaoya back, and the family wished that Meng Xiaoya would never appear again in the future, and Meng Xiaoya left the house in tears.
