Beauty is poisonous

Chapter 18
"Mother"

"Mother"

Tao Feifei, Tao Qiqi is the concubine daughter of Tao Juzheng. She is the same age as Tao Zhizhi, but because of her birth date, she is younger than Tao Zhizhi.

Tao Feifei, the name comes from Feifei's light red color, which means strong fragrance. Her aunt is Lian's dowry girl.

Taoqiqi, the name is taken from Huimuqiqi, which means flourishing. Her aunt was given by a friend of Tao Juzheng.

This society is greeting Lien Shi.

Although Lian Shi didn't treat these two concubines very well, he didn't hate them as much as he did Tao Zhizhang. After all, they were only born by an aunt, and they were also concubines, so it didn't affect her at all. A chess piece that paves the way for my daughter.

So Lian Shi just nodded lightly and let them get up.

Tao Qiqi sat on Lian's lower head very politely, but Tao Feifei picked up the comb and said, "Mother, my daughter has learned a new way of combing her hair these days, let her serve you!"

Lian's eyes flashed slightly and he smiled and said, "My Feifei is still good to me, but you are busy enough studying piano, chess, calligraphy and painting on weekdays, so why bother that god?"

"To comb mother's hair is an unimaginable honor, so what's the point of learning less?" After speaking, he skillfully picked up the comb and Gu combed it for Lian Shi himself.

Seeing that Tao Feifei took her job, Shen Momo was not angry, but boasted: "Miss San is filial."

Tao Feifei blushed and said softly: "It's what it should be."

Lian Shi pursed her lips and looked at herself in the mirror with an indisputable expression.

After a while, Tao Feifei combed Lian's hair, and said with a smile: "Mother's hair is really smooth like silk, and it slipped my daughter's hands several times, and she almost missed her. Speaking of which, it's really nice to be a nurse on weekdays." Craftsmanship, I almost made a fool of myself just once."

Nanny Shen smiled and didn't speak.

Tao Qiqi lowered her head, hiding the disdain in her eyes.

At this time, Tao Hanrui came in hurriedly, saw Tao Feifei combing Lian's hair, she curled her lips and said: "Tao Feifei, if you don't work as a good daughter, why do you want to rob slaves of slaves? Are you ashamed? "

Tao Feifei's hands were slightly stiff, and she looked at Lian Shi with aggrieved eyes.

Lian's face darkened and he reprimanded Tao Hanrui: "Rui'er, why are you talking to your sister? Your sister is filial to me! Look at you, when can you be so sensible with your sister?"

Tao Hanrui said noncommittally: "I am a dignified princess, but I can't act like a little bitch like her!"

"Rui'er!" Lian Shi had a headache, and comforted Tao Feifei who was about to cry: "Feifei, don't listen to your sister, mother is thinking of you, use this hairpin for fun."

"Thank you mother!" Tao Feifei took the hairpin with tears in her eyes.

"Well, Qiqi, come on, this hairpin is for you!"

"Thank you mother!" Seeing that she had it too, Tao Qiqi was pleasantly surprised, took the hairpin as a gift.

"Okay, you guys are welcome, I'm fine, you go and see your aunt!"

"Yes, mother."

Tao Feifei and Tao Qiqi saluted and retreated.

After the two walked out the door, Tao Feifei said displeasedly: "Fourth sister, give me your hairpin!"

"Why? My mother gave it to me!"

"You still have the nerve to ask why? If I didn't please my mother, how could my mother reward me with the golden hairpin? My mother intended to reward me, but you just incidentally, hurry up, don't talk too much, and give me the hairpin Come!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Taoqiqi to speak, she snatched the hairpin and left.

"Ah..." Tao Qiqi let out a cry of pain, the hairpin slid across her finger, and a stream of blood flowed out in an instant.

Tao Feifei said disgustedly: "Look at you, the hairpin is stained with blood, if you don't give it to me earlier, it will be fine!"

After all, he took the hairpin and walked away.

Tao Qiqi bit her lip, tears could not stop flowing down.

"Miss Si, stop crying. If people see you crying at Madam's door and hear Madam's ears, wouldn't they hate you even more?"

Caiyun, Taoqiqi's maid, persuaded her.

Tao Qiqi's heart trembled, and she quickly stopped her tears, but her eyes were full of vicious resentment.

In Lian's room, Tao Hanrui twitched her lips and said, "Mother, you are so serious, you actually blamed your own daughter for two lowly things."

Lian glared at her, but said in a tone of no accusation: "You, you are too straight-tempered. Although they are concubines, they are also your father's seed. If I treat them poorly, how can I spread the word?" Doesn't it mean that I, as a aunt, have no tolerance for others?"

"Hey, a concubine is a concubine, but she's a slut born out of pets. It's their blessing to treat them well, and it's their fate to treat them badly. Where are there so many sayings? I don't believe it." All the noble ladies in the capital treat concubine daughters like their own daughters! What can you blame others for?"

"Pfft!" Lian couldn't help laughing, pinched Tao Hanrui's little face lovingly and said, "You, it's just that you can't spare anyone with your mouth, you are usually smart about everything, but you can't turn around here Come on! Do you think that the noble ladies in the capital treat those concubines well just to stop others from talking?"

"why?"

"Rui'er, seeing that you are about to get married, my mother will teach you more today, so that your temper will not suffer in the future!"

Lian Shi looked at Tao Hanrui distressedly, but there was a kind of pride in her eyes as a young girl.

"Hehe, mother, then teach me, mother, you were the most talented woman in the capital back then, don't hide it and don't teach your daughter, lest she steal your reputation." Don't look at Tao Hanrui's savage willfulness, but But she is very good at pleasing Lian Shi, so she loves this daughter more than Tao Qiwu in Lian Shi's heart.

"Pfft! It's all nonsense. Mom wishes you were better than me. How could I hide it and not teach you?"

Tao Hanrui hugged Lian's arms coquettishly with a giggle, this hug made Lian's heart melt, and laughed and scolded: "Look at this child, he is so big, yet he still hugs his mother , I don’t know how to be shy.”

Nanny Shen jokingly said, "No matter how old the young lady is, she is still the wife's child, so what is there to be ashamed of hugging the mother?"

Tao Hanrui also hit the snake on the stick and said: "Mother, look, Mother Shen also praised me."

These words made Lian's angry: "Look at your shameless appearance, is it because Mother Shen is praising you?"

Tao Hanrui smiled coquettishly, arched her head again and said: "Okay, mother, stop talking about me, go on."

"It's okay, I haven't messed around enough to just know how to act like a baby." Lian Shi pampered Tao Hanrui's somewhat messy hair, and then said seriously: "This concubine has been trained, and she can be praised by others The aunt has a magnanimity, and secondly, it can be used as a pawn in marriage. If these concubines are well married, then the husband's family will be the help of the concubine's daughter, so the upbringing of the concubine's daughter is generally valued by those high-ranking families. Yes, after all, a concubine who doesn't know anything can't marry a very good family, and even if she marries into a good family, she can't please her husband's family, so what's the use of such a concubine?"

Tao Hanrui said unhappily: "Then do we still have to train concubine daughters like first-law daughters?"

"How is that possible?" Lian smiled: "It would be a big taboo if the concubine's limelight overwhelmed the concubine's daughter. Not too low, if they have some capital and can't do without the backing of their natal family, then such concubines can bring inexhaustible benefits to their natal family."

"It sounds so complicated, this scale is really difficult to grasp."

"Just learn it slowly. With my son's intelligence, he will be able to grasp the essence soon."

"I don't want to learn. I told the fourth prince not to take concubines and have concubine sons and daughters, so as not to anger me! If the fourth prince loves so much, I will definitely agree."

"You're talking nonsense again, aren't you?" Thinking of her daughter's backyard full of women in the future, Lian's heart ached for a while, but the heartache was the heartache, and what should be taught should be taught, and said: "The fourth prince has a concubine according to the ancestors. Concubines on both sides, four concubines, ten concubines, not to mention those who are not well-known in the house, how can you refuse to accept it? Even if the fourth prince loves you and loves you, you can't bear to accept it. Wronged, but can the royal family sit idly by?"

Tao Hanrui became irritable for a while, and her small face pulled up: "Mother, I understand what you said, but I usually hate those enchanting women in my father's courtyard, let alone the women in the Fourth Prince's courtyard. I'm going to kill you just thinking about it!"

"Hey, this is our fate. If you think about it, don't worry about it. Which man in this world doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Even ordinary people with a little money take two or three concubines for appearance. A man who cannot afford to marry a woman, no man in this world will only marry one woman."

"Mother..." Tao Hanrui was a little emotionally unstable, and said quietly: "Then I won't marry."

"It's nonsense again, isn't it? Is there any girl who grows up and doesn't marry? If you want to live comfortably, you have to learn how to take advantage of others. There is still a year to teach you how to be a mother. "

"Yeah." Tao Hanrui said that she would not marry, but in fact she couldn't bear to marry the fourth prince in her heart, so she obediently agreed at the moment.

Lian talked to her for a while, and then said: "These days, don't just embroider and paint, go and see your sister, lest she stay alone in the room and get sick."

Tao Hanrui felt sorry for Tao Qiwu very much, firstly, there was a big age difference between the two, and secondly, Tao Qiwu's disability could not cover up her brilliance, so she was happy to get along with Tao Qiwu.

Immediately, she smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, mother, I'll go to my sister's place right now, and have a chat with my sister."

"Okay, let's go." Lian is pleased that the two sisters have a good relationship, so that after a hundred years, she won't be afraid that Tao Qiwu will lose her support. With the help of Tao Hanrui, who is the concubine of the Fourth Prince.
