my wife is wonderful

Chapter 22 thoughts of all parties

"There is no shortage of ordinary concubines, but there is a shortage of concubines from noble families."

Geng Cheng twirled his beard and said, his expression was a little unpredictable.

Yao Shi didn't take it seriously, "Although he is the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials of the third rank, he is only the second son of a concubine. It is a good opportunity for him to marry a noble woman, and he still accepts a noble woman as a concubine? Is it wishful thinking? .”

"Do you think our family is considered a noble family, and is our daughter considered a noble daughter?"

Geng Cheng asked lightly, but it made Yao's heart skip a beat.

She subconsciously looked at Geng Cheng, only to see that his expression was indifferent and his eyes were calm.

All of a sudden, Yao Shi was a little suspicious, not only doubting herself, but also doubting the man in front of her who had lived with her for more than 20 years, her husband.

"Okay, don't worry, I know what to do, let's eat."

Geng Cheng patted Yao's hand resting on the table comfortingly, sat next to her, and called the servant girl to come and serve her.

"Auntie, Shen Shui has become my father's daughter. It is my wife who should worry about this matter. What is the relationship with my aunt? Why should my aunt ask for troubles, making myself unable to eat and sleep well, and making myself old in vain? How old are you?"

Geng Xingyu, the fourth daughter of the Geng family, is very eloquent. Although it has only been a day since the sinking, everyone in the uncle's house knows about it.

Of course, what others know is the version Geng Cheng wants people to know.

But Aunt Peng, mother and son knew the truth.

Geng Xingyu and Geng Shumin were purely spectators of this matter, and even gloated a little, thinking that the second wife was in a bad mood.

The mother who came as a dowry betrayed her, her husband had an extra concubine, and the biological mother of the concubine was a servant of her natal family. It was a triple blow, and it was terrible.

Geng Xingshuang hasn't found out what kind of person Tan's sister is, but Aunt Peng, who has served the mistress for nearly 20 years, knows a lot more about Yao Shi and the people around Yao Shi than Dafang.

"How old are you? You didn't sleep well all night. How can you be so exaggerated? You girl didn't say a single word of truth."

Aunt Peng touched her face subconsciously. Although she said so, she still couldn't help getting up and walking from the hall to the inner room, wanting to go in and look in the mirror.

Aunt Peng was born charming and charming, over [-] years old, at first glance she is not very different from a [-]-year-old girl, but if you look closely, you may see that she is no longer youthful from the corners of her eyes and the fine lines on her face, but she is still younger than her. Actual age is a few years younger.

"Auntie, I'm not old, I'm really not old, you don't need to take pictures, eat quickly, the dishes are cold, today I have my fifth younger brother's favorite braised elbow, if this elbow is cold, I will have a stomachache if I eat it Yes, the fifth brother has a bad spleen and stomach, so he can no longer eat cold and heavy oil meals."

Geng Shumin glanced at the fourth sister, opened his mouth, and wanted to say that he had a bad spleen and stomach before, was that really bad? Isn't it all because his aunt made him feel bad, but in the past two years, my aunt no longer used this Recruited.

My aunt didn't need it anymore, but my fourth sister still used it, but my aunt could see through other tricks of my fourth sister at a glance, but this trick was tried and tested time and time again.

"Auntie, what are you worrying about?"

For some reason, Geng Shumin became rebellious at the moment, he just didn't want to make Fourth Sister relaxed, so he brought the topic back.

"What do you know? You think it's just an extra concubine, which only hurts the wife's face. This matter does not have a big impact on my brother, but for you, sister Yu, you are already fourteen this year, and you are only older than three. The girl is one year younger, and with the current situation of the Uncle House and your father's current official position, you don't have many opportunities to choose, Miss Yu.

Although these years we are not far from Dafang Sanfang on the surface, but you can see the difference when you look at the dishes and then look at the dining table of Dafang Sanfang. These are not all subsidized by Mrs. Uncle. "

Aunt Peng looked at the still confused expressions of her son and daughter, and sighed.

"Eldest young master and third young lady are masters who know how to spend money. I know the wife's dowry, and it's not much. Although I don't know how the business has been in these years, I can still guess a little from your father's few words. No matter if it is the eldest young master marrying a wife or the third young lady marrying, the master will inevitably have to spend a large sum of money. Originally, there is less left for you, but now there is more sinking water. She is seventeen this year. You are still two years older, you have to be the first step in everything, you have to hold on to her first, and you don't know how much is left for you."

"Because of this? Daddy treats Shen Shui better than me? Shen Shui... She is just a maid? Even if she is Daddy's daughter now, she can at most be considered an outsider..."

For Fourth Sister's words, Geng Shumin thought it was quite reasonable, but Aunt Peng, who was always smart and rational, still shook her head.

She hesitated for a moment. At first she felt that these words were not suitable to say to a pair of young children, but after thinking about it, considering the current situation of the three of them, there is no harm in knowing more.

"The mother of Shenshui is Tan's mother's sister. Shenshui is 16 years old this year, which means she was born 20 years ago. I remember that it was [-] years in Changning. Nan Weizheng is the fourth-rank commander of Tongzhi, and he still has the idea of ​​passing the title down. He is very strict with his family members. Your uncle and third uncle have practiced martial arts since childhood, and they both passed the martial arts examination. You failed in the martial arts examination, and you have no chance with the Wuju people. You originally wanted to get an official position as a martial arts scholar. Considering your grandfather's official position and the relationship between the uncle's house at that time, it was not difficult, but this matter was rejected by you. Grandfather stopped him from going back, because he was afraid that it would affect the reputation of the uncle's mansion, attract the attention of the imperial envoys, read a copy, and leave a bad impression on the emperor."

Aunt Peng was going to talk to her children, so she explained in detail. Geng Xingyu was a little impatient, thinking that these had nothing to do with the sinking thing they were talking about now.

Geng Shumin was very interested, listened carefully, and asked: "Uncle and third uncle both practice martial arts, my son knows about this, but I don't know that they both passed the examination as a martial arts scholar. Father?"

Aunt Peng is not good at commenting on this matter. There are not only uncle's partiality, but also Mrs. Uncle's overt and secret efforts, and even the second master's secret efforts to fight for it.

"So in those years, except for my wife and me, the master didn't recruit any new people, but once, the master was drunk, talking nonsense, and talking a lot, and I couldn't hear clearly. I only heard one sentence, old man With so many constraints, it might be nothing in the end, but Chunliu'er who has wronged him, wait...he must set up a few banquets for her, and welcome her in gracefully.

Not long after, the master and his wife had a big quarrel, and they didn't enter the main house for more than a month, and of course they didn't come to my place, and stayed in the outer courtyard all the time.

At that time, I didn't know why they made such a big fuss. Looking back now, there seemed to be something wrong with Tan's mother at that time, she was always out of her mind. "

When Aunt Peng said this, Geng Shumin already understood, and Geng Xingyu also understood.

It’s just that Aunt Peng hasn’t finished her sentence yet, “I haven’t seen what that Chunliu girl looks like, but I heard from Chen Shan’s family that Zhang’s looks a lot like Chunliu, and she even has a similar voice. .”

Chen Shan's family used to be the maid by his wife's side, but after marrying Chen Shan from the outer court, he didn't serve in the mansion again, and the Zhang family was Geng Cheng's housekeeper.

"But Shen Shui doesn't look like Zhang's." Geng Xingyu wondered, if he did, he would have been discovered all these years ago.

"Whoever said that a daughter must be like a mother, you are not like my aunt." Geng Shumin said.

That's true, Geng Xingyu didn't get entangled in this issue.

Now she has the same troubles as Aunt Peng, worrying that her father will give all the good marriage and good things to the lost and recovered daughter Shenshui.

　ps: Geng Xingyu: There is a sister here, I thought she was a little pitiful at first, but now I may become a pitiful one, what should I do if it is swollen, please ask online~
