The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(229)

In addition, the Zhu family has added three grandsons to the Su family, and their status in the Su family is even more stable. Not only did Wu give in to her and tolerate her on weekdays, but even Su Xiucai was quite tolerant. Sometimes when Mr. Zhu did something outrageous, Su Xiucai would usually turn a blind eye as long as it wasn't too much.

After all, the heir is the oldest, and the Zhu family has made great contributions to the Su family.

All of this indulged Zhu's evil nature. She was not a light-hearted person to begin with, and she had been even more domineering for a long time. However, the entire Su family was actually weighed down by a woman.

But besides being patient, what else can I do? It is not easy for ordinary people to marry a daughter-in-law, and there is no such thing as taking a concubine. Otherwise, if the grocery store owner takes a concubine, he will be criticized by the neighbors for so many years.

So Yao Niang has never thought about changing her sister-in-law.

"A virtuous wife and a husband bring few disasters. Don't you think that a large part of all the troubles in your family have to do with this woman? Then the King of Japan looks at it from a distance. Although your eldest brother is lazy and useless, he is not really evil. He has treated you somewhat. If you can't bear to ignore the relationship between brothers and sisters, you should find a solution instead of worrying about it. This will not solve any problem. "

Yao Niang felt like she was struck by lightning. She had hated and complained about her family members. But seriously speaking, before Mr. Zhu entered the family, although his family was poor, their life was quite harmonious.

Her father is pedantic, but he does his best for the family. He takes home a lot of the money he earns every month for household purposes. Often a scholar's shirt would not be changed for many years. Even if it was torn, the mother would mend it and wear it again, just to keep the women and children at home full.

And her brother had been spoiled by his mother since he was a child. He couldn't bear hardships, couldn't bear tiredness, couldn't study well, and was idle all day long. However, her brother was still very protective of her and her sister, and the two sisters often got into fights with others. When I grew up, sometimes when I got something delicious and fun, I would never keep it to myself. Instead, I would take it home and share it with my two younger sisters.

When did it change?

This was probably the time when her brother had been unable to find a wife.

The Su family's life was very tight, but if they wanted to marry a daughter-in-law, not to mention the betrothal gift to the bride's family, organize wedding banquets, etc., they all needed money. With so many people in the family relying on his father's share of money for food, there would be no surplus.

During those two years, her father and mother were so worried that they couldn't sleep every day. Her mother always shed tears and her father frowned. Only her brother was still heartless and thought it would be okay to marry a few years later. It was not until her brother was almost 20 and her sister was old enough to talk about marriage that the family considered marrying off their daughter and giving her son a wife along the way.

Later, her sister said that she gave it to her brother-in-law, took the betrothal gift from the Yao family, and turned around and ordered the Zhu family for her brother. After the eldest brother married the Zhu family, the next year her sister married into the Yao family, and from that time on, her life began to become difficult.

Zhu's temperament was outstanding, and she had to take care of the house a few days after she got married. Her mother was a soft-tempered woman and wanted a wife, so she tolerated her.

Mrs. Zhu is very lazy, but she is diligent in ordering people. She is being driven around in circles. When her brother saw it, he would reprimand Mr. Zhu at first, but Mr. Zhu was not a person who tolerated others. After two troubles, her brother went to his in-law's house to pick up his wife in despair. Behind her back, her mother secretly told her to give in to the Zhu family, since she would be getting married in two years anyway.

Thinking of the past, Yaoniang couldn't help but burst into tears, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

King Jin frowned and wanted to say why she was crying, but he expected that Mrs. Zhu must have suffered a lot for her, so she cried like this. He was even more annoyed in his heart, and stretched out his hand to pull her over: "If she offends you, then replace her. You don't care, I will take care of this matter."

The King of Jin has always been decisive in dealing with matters. Originally, he had already made arrangements for the arrangement of the Yao and Su families. I talked to Yao Niang and ordered Fucheng to do it the next day.

"That's what Your Highness means now. He also thinks that Concubine Su has done a great job in giving birth to an heir and should bless the family. Of course, if you two have other arrangements, the palace will order someone to send you back home."

Fucheng came before and invited the Yao and Su families over to explain King Jin's intentions.

King Jin wanted the two families to settle in Beijing. Their residence would be arranged by the palace, and their errands would also be prepared. Yao Cheng was assigned to be the leader of the Shuntian Prefecture patrol camp. Although he was downgraded from a head catcher to a small leader, this place was at the feet of the emperor, and a small leader was not comparable to the leader of Lin Yun County.

As for the Su family and his son, the King of Jin asked Su Xiucai to find a family academy and let Su Xiucai sit in the academy. It was still his job. Su Yucheng was also assigned to work as a street envoy in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.

He is said to be a street envoy, but he is actually a small official. The Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities is in charge of patrolling thieves in the five outer cities, clearing streets, ditches, and fire bans, etc. It can be regarded as intersecting with the patrol camp of Shuntian Mansion to manage various affairs in the outer city. Street affairs such as fire fighting, night patrols, street vendors occupying roads, thieves disturbing people, etc. are all under their control.

Although Fucheng's words had ambiguous meanings, it was impossible for the Yao and Su families to refuse to agree.

Just like the Su family, they were still worrying about how they would live after returning home. Now that such a good thing fell from the sky, it was really an unexpected surprise. Forget about Su Xiucai, he was sitting in Linyun County and still sitting in Beijing when he came to Beijing. But Su Yucheng's transformation from a civilian to an official was a big turnaround. It was obvious that the King of Jin was deliberately showing favor.

As for Yao Cheng, he himself is not without consideration. When people walk to higher places, with the mountain of King Jin at their back, even if they are just a class leader now, who knows what will happen in the future.

No wonder everyone is willing to climb high branches, because when a person attains the Tao, a jī dog ascends to heaven, and the ancients never deceived others. Yao Cheng, who knew something about the inside story, sighed in his heart.

The only bad thing is that the two families have to leave their hometown. But in the face of so many benefits, this little thing is not an embarrassment.

Just when the two families were in a state of surprise, Fucheng poured cold water on them after giving them sweet dates.

"The capital is no better than other places. You should be careful and don't use Prince Jin's Palace as a sign outside to show off and cause trouble. It has ruined His Highness's reputation. He doesn't need to be dealt with by others, and His Highness will not be lenient. I hope you will Please remember not to bring trouble to your family and implicate Concubine Su who allowed you to get all this."

"Mr. Fu, please rest assured that we will be careful in our words and deeds so as not to cause trouble to His Highness." Yao Cheng and Su Xiucai looked at each other, and Yao Cheng came forward.

Fucheng nodded and left.

After that, Yao Niang showed up again to say goodbye to the Yao and Su families.

During this period, Mrs. Wu once mentioned that she wanted to see her two grandsons, but Yao Niang burst into tears and broke down in sobs.

This is already the case, why do we need to say it clearly?

The reason why the Yao and Su families are as happy as they are today is obviously to compensate Yao Niang, because her two children were taken away by the princess who could not give birth to children.

After Wu went out and got into the car, she was still crying, crying for her poor daughter.

She slapped Su Yucheng hard twice and hissed: "You have to keep up with me, keep up with me! If you don't keep up with me, how can you be worthy of your sister!"

Su Yucheng covered his face in despair and said sternly: "Mom, don't worry, I will do my best and won't cause any trouble to Yaoyao."

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhu sneered: "What are you doing? There is no need for this!"

Su Yucheng slapped her in the face, knocking Zhu into confusion.

"Shut up!"

Even Su Xiucai and Wu stared at her angrily, obviously guilty of public outrage.

Mrs. Zhu immediately did not dare to say anything.

small theater:

In the hot spring village, Princess Jin, who was planting flowers, sneered: "Fuck you, if I don't bear this responsibility, what will happen if I can't give birth to a child? I'm in the way of you and let you talk all day long."

Chapter 175

The house arranged by the King of Jin for the Yao and Su families was in Dongcheng, located in Xiatangzi Hutong.

This place is close to Wat Pho and Mishikou, so it is quite prosperous. The alleys are filled with civilian homes. There are two semi-indoor houses, wall to wall. Each house has a spacious yard. The houses are fully equipped with furniture and other items, so people can move in immediately upon arrival. Each family was also assigned a girl, so the arrangements were well-arranged.

When Mrs. Zhu entered the house, she looked around with bright eyes.

When had she ever lived in such a decent house? Although it was not much bigger than the Su family's house before, what kind of house was that? Not to mention the house, the furniture in the house was all missing arms and legs. The house is small and cramped, but it can't be so bright.

Look at this door, this window, this courtyard, it's only for rich families.

Brother Dong, Brother Ming, and Brother Yuan entered the door and ran around in joy, running around the yard. Even Su Xiucai Wu couldn't help but see a hint of joy on her face. Sure enough, everyone likes good things.

As soon as Mrs. Zhu thought about being able to live in a courtyard like this and be a wife and grandmother in the future, she couldn't help but feel excited. But when she saw the girl running out of it, her face suddenly dropped.

"Why are you here? Who asked you to be here?!"

This girl is Lan Cao.

Seeing Zhu's fierceness, Lan Cao was so frightened that she trembled. She bravely whispered: "This slave is a girl sent by the palace to do odd jobs."

"Our family doesn't want you, let the palace find someone else to come and go!"

As soon as these words came out, not to mention the Su family, even a small steward of the outer courtyard who was arranged by Fucheng to bring the Yao and Su families to settle down felt that this Zhu family was very unreasonable.

Not only is it unreasonable, it's also downright ridiculous.

When the steward heard this, his eyebrows moved, but his expression remained expressionless.

But since Keren was standing here, it represented the majesty of the palace. Su Yucheng immediately scolded: "You bitch, do you know how to speak? If you can't speak, just shut up."

"What did I say wrong? Even if it's a servant arranged by the palace, can't I change it to another one?" Seeing that even her father-in-law was staring at her, Mrs. Zhu softened and said, "Otherwise, I can change it with the Yao family. , didn’t you say that both families gave away girls?”

The steward ignored her and bowed his hands to Su Xiucai and Su Yucheng: "As long as it's okay, I'll leave now."
