Chapter 444
"Big cousin, don't you want to give me a lady again?"

Although he used interrogative sentences, Tang Yanxiu had already guessed the answer, so his complexion and tone were not very good.

Naturally, the eldest young master of the Duan family was also very displeased to hear Tang Yanxiu directly asking questions without saving face.

"Yan Xiu, I know that Jiqiu is a little bit wrong, maybe it's because her father is a concubine, and although her mother is a descendant of the family, but this young daughter is spoiled by everyone in the family, so it is inevitable that she has a soft temper. So, even if Jiqiu has a bad tutor..."

"That's still the responsibility of the Duan family."

Before the young master of the Duan family finished speaking, Tang Yanxiu took it up.

Immediately, he successfully saw the young master of the Duan family's face turning dark.

But in fact, there was nothing wrong with Tang Yanxiu's words.

It doesn't matter whether Duan Jiqiu's family education problems are caused by her father or mother, but her father is a descendant of the Duan family, even if she is a concubine, she was raised under the old lady of the Duan family.As for her mother, you must know that free love is not advocated these days. Isn't this marriage up to the discretion of Duan's parents?

In the final analysis, the reason still lies with the Duan family.

The young master of the Duan family is not stupid, he understood the meaning of Tang Yanxiu's words almost instantly.It's a pity that he couldn't find any reason other than his black face.

More importantly, the lady he mentioned just now is better than Duan Jiqiu...

Which of the "better" is yet to be verified.

Just think about it, the Duan family is a family that has gone through hundreds of years, and it can't be compared with those official families, but at least in Luyang County, the Duan family is a real emperor.Even the governor of the county will show courtesy to the Duan family, of course, most of this is because of the large sum of money that the Duan family sends every year.

But no matter what, the young ladies of the Duan family don't have to worry about marrying.

Of course, not worrying about marrying and marrying well are two completely different concepts.

The original daughter-in-law of the lineage of the long-term family is naturally the highest status, not to mention marrying a merchant family to be the eldest daughter-in-law, even marrying an official family is easy.Of course, the official family here does not refer to the aristocratic family, unless they are willing to marry their daughter-in-law to the military family, otherwise they will still be unattainable.

But the problem is that in addition to the eldest daughter, the Duan family also has other young ladies.

Like the head of the Duan family, there are three concubines who have not left the cabinet.

The eldest and second young masters of the Duan family also have daughters who have not left the court, both prostitutes and concubines.

Ordinarily, purely from the point of view of birth and status, Duan Jiqiu should be the worst young lady in the Duan family, but in fact, that's not the case.

The daughter of the first son is naturally the most noble.

However, compared with the concubine daughter born by the concubine, the former sounds good, but the latter is more popular.

The root cause is the dowry.

The Duan family is very good to their offspring.The legitimate sons all stay in the family, and there is no need to separate the family.The concubine gave a generous settling allowance, and if he was talented, he could choose to stay in the family.

But whoever chooses to stay in the family, the children born are the same as brothers and sisters of the same generation.

That is to say, the status of the prostitute daughters born by the eldest and second young masters of the Duan family is exactly the same as that of Duan Jiqiu, as well as the dowry added when they get married.Naturally, the concubine daughters born by them are all treated equally.

The problem lies here.

You must know that when a daughter gets married, even if the dowry from the public is large, it is impossible to go much.In fact, the makeup added by the mother is the bulk of the dowry.

Like the eldest and second young masters of the Duan family, their first wives both gave birth to more than one daughter. For the sake of fairness, the mother's dowry must be equal, at least on the surface.But Duan Jiqiu is an only daughter, and all her mother's dowry is inherited by her alone.

Even if the dowries of the first and second young masters of the Duan family are more than that of Duan Jiqiu's mother, the latter cannot be held back.After all, other people still have to live, no matter how much they love their daughter, they can't completely empty out their dowry.

Not to mention, Duan Jiqiu's dowry is not only her mother's dowry, but also the money her father earned over the years, as well as the extra share given by other elders for the sake of her being an orphan.

In this way, in terms of dowry alone, Duan Jiqiu does not say that he despises all the prostitutes, at least most of them are definitely not as good as her.

As for those prostitutes...

No aunt would be so generous as to use her own dowry to subsidize the concubine's daughter. Even if she didn't have a biological daughter, wouldn't it be good to leave the dowry to her son?Even for the sake of face, most of the aunts will choose one or two things that look expensive but are actually worthless at all.

And the eldest young master of the Duan family was thinking of marrying his concubine daughter to Tang Yanxiu.

That concubine was the one he loved the most, her appearance and character were outstanding, at least in his opinion, she was more than a hundred times better than Mo Qianrui.

The young master of the Duan family is not stupid, unless he promises a lot of benefits to his future son-in-law, otherwise the concubine's marriage will definitely be very difficult.But don't look at him as the successor of the next head of the Duan family. In fact, he can't easily promise or withhold large sums of money.

After thinking twice, he aimed at Tang Yanxiu.

Tang Yanxiu's conditions are really good. The only regret is that Tang Yanxiu has already married a wife and has given birth to four sons.However, his concubine daughters are not without flaws, each has some minor flaws in order to walk together better.

After being silent for a long time, the eldest young master of the Duan family still couldn't help but want to say a few more words: "Jiqiu is just an example, I guarantee that other young ladies of the Duan family must be better than her."

Staring at each other speechlessly for a long time, Tang Yanxiu let out a long sigh, and said almost in a tone of "Why abandon treatment", "Big cousin, maybe you are right, Miss Duan's family is all right. She looks like a fairy, but what does it matter to me? I beg you, I already have a wife and children, and I never thought of changing one."

another?
Are you kidding me?
Has he not lived well enough?

"Yan Xiu, I hope you think about it carefully, that girl from the Mo family is not suitable for you."

"It's not up to you whether it's suitable or not."

Tang Yanxiu also became impatient seeing the young master of the Duan family always putting on a face of "I'm doing it for your own good".Because of being an orphan in his previous life, he always felt that marriage is a matter between two people, and has nothing to do with their relatives and elders.

Similarly, seeing Tang Yanxiu's stubborn appearance, the young master of the Duan family was also angry.

"Tang Yanxiu, you don't think the Duan family will let that Mo family's stinky girl go easily, do you? She beat my father like that, and the Duan family will definitely make her regret it for the rest of her life!"

"Ha ha."

Not much speculation.

Tang Yanxiu had completely lost her patience, turned around and wanted to leave.

He didn't want to, but was stopped by the young master of the Duan family.

"Is this an attempt to take people by force? Shall I remind you that I haven't broken any laws?" Although there is such a punishment as criminal association these days, it is for very serious crimes.For example, the crimes of treason, bullying, etc., like Mo Qianrui, who just slapped the Patriarch of the Duan family a few times, naturally cannot be regarded as serious crimes.Even if the Duan family can buy off the governor of Luyang County, it is absolutely impossible to implicate Tang Yanxiu.

The Duan family has not reached the point where they can cover the sky with one hand.

"Yan Xiu, my father wants to see you."

"Didn't you see me just now? He passed out after saying a few words. I thought maybe he didn't really want to see me either."

He didn't mention that he made the head of the Duan family faint out of anger. In fact, Tang Yanxiu didn't feel any guilt at all.Even if there was a trace of it before, after the eldest young master of the Duan family asked him to change his wife, all guilt was gone.

In a word, he really, really hates other people meddling in his housework!

It's a pity, obviously, the young master of the Duan family has no such awareness at all.

"Yan Xiu, you are my cousin, would I still harm you? To tell you the truth, I plan to betroth my concubine daughter to you as a housefill."

As soon as these words came out, Tang Yanxiu was shocked instantly.

Tang Yanxiu managed to recover from hiccups several times.But even so, when he looked at the eldest young master of the Duan family, it was as if he saw a once-in-a-century psychopathy: "Master Duan! My eldest cousin! Your concubine? Have you ever counted on us?" Is it a matter of seniority? I am the cousin of your concubine, do you remember?"

In fact, Tang Yanxiu is not very good at calculating seniority among relatives, especially those who have made several detours.

Fortunately, Tang Yanxiu has a relatively close relationship with the young master of the Duan family, especially, he has deeply remembered that they are of the same generation.

Of course, unfortunately, Tang Yanxiu was even more frightened in this way.

"So what?" I didn't want to, but the young master of the Duan family didn't care, "Your surname is Tang, I'm surnamed Duan, we are only cousins, and we are not a family. Among the concubines of the Holy Majesty, there is Sisters, aunts and nephews. Even if it is rare for ordinary people, it is not uncommon. Besides, she is just a concubine, as long as there is no publicity, who will know these things?"

Hearing what the young master of the Duan family said, Tang Yanxiu collapsed even more.

"What does it have to do with me whether other people know about these things? The point is, I am in awe!"

Speaking of this, both sides suddenly realized something.

What the young master of the Duan family meant was that this kind of thing is very common, and as long as you don't shout it out, no one will know.To put it simply, all he cared about from the beginning to the end was the eyes of others.

But Tang Yanxiu was just the opposite.

For him, as long as something is beneficial to him, he doesn't care even if the whole world criticizes him.

Originally, what does it have to do with him if outsiders are unhappy?I don’t want to see you poke my eyes blind, and cut off my ears if I don’t want to listen to you. Otherwise, if this still hinders you, then hurry up and die, so that you don’t live to worry about others.

These two people are talking like chickens and ducks!
