Chapter 423 Jealousy
Her sister Ying is more beautiful than Xia Zihan, and is about the same age as the eldest young master of the Chu family. Xia Zihan is still two years older than the eldest young master of the Chu family. Why can't this marriage fall into her family? On Sister Ying’s head?
If her sister Ying could marry the eldest young master of the Chu family and become the eldest young mistress of the Chu family, wouldn't the eldest young master of the Chu family become her biological son-in-law? Then wouldn't her status in the Xia family be able to rise? In the future, she would Do you mean you don’t have to look at Xia Shiming’s face to live your life? Even if Xia Shiming holds the handle on her, she doesn't need to be afraid of him anymore.
Mother is more valuable than daughter, that's not what it means.
But... why is that cheap girl Xia Zihan the one who climbed into the Chu family?
And her relationship with Xia Zihan...
When she thought of the mother-daughter relationship between her and Xia Zihan, whether it was something or not, Mrs. Xu felt disappointed.
Mrs. Liu glanced at her, as if she wanted to suppress her, and added fuel to the fire, "Who doesn't know that the Chu family and the Chu family have a verbal engagement? Even the late emperor personally spoke for the two of them, only he did not issue an imperial edict. Granted marriage, these are not unmarried couples, are they only those who have been engaged? ”
"Oh, by the way, if you hadn't drawn the lottery in the temple that the second girl couldn't get engaged before she turned nineteen, maybe it would have been time to arrange the marriage between the second girl and the eldest son of the Chu family."
Seeing Mrs. Xu's face turn dark, Mrs. Liu spoke more vigorously and her voice became three points sharper, "Oh, speaking of the eldest young master of the Chu family, I heard that he has made great contributions this time. The emperor doesn't know what he will do." What kind of reward is he, a threesome? General Pin probably won't be able to run away. You said, he is so promising at such a young age. I'm afraid he won't be able to run away to become a marquis or prime minister in the future. Then our second girl will be Mrs. Hou's life in the future. "
"Er Girl is a lucky person. First she was granted the title of County Princess by the former Emperor, and now she is granted the title of Princess Princess by the new Emperor. If she becomes Madam Hou of the Chu family in the future, her status will be even higher. Now, everyone in the entire capital doesn’t know that the Chu family and his son are famous people in front of the emperor.”
Mrs. Xu was so angry that she really wanted to rush up and tear Mrs. Liu's mouth off, but she didn't dare, not even at home, let alone outside.
Xia Shiming said that if she did something outrageous, he would divorce her directly.
She couldn't ruin her life just because of a moment of anger.
She held back her anger and said with a gloomy face, "Are you jealous, sister-in-law? Unfortunately, you don't have the destiny to be the Marquis, and my uncle doesn't have the destiny to be a marquis and prime minister. You are just jealous, and you don't have the destiny. In this life, , you will only live with jealousy.”
"Why am I jealous?" Mrs. Liu responded unceremoniously, "I have two sons and a daughter. The daughter married well, the son-in-law also took office, the eldest son also took office, and in three years, the younger son will also take office. , my husband is also going to be transferred to Beijing, and my eldest brother is doing a lot of good things. Why should I be jealous? If I want to be jealous, it should be the jealousy of my younger siblings.”
"Oh, that's right." Before getting on the carriage, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but step on Mrs. Xu, "I heard that the two concubines of my younger brother and sister are taught by my second uncle in person every day. I think they will know how to do it when they grow up. He must be a learned boy like his second uncle.”
Xu's son, however, was unwilling to read. He cried and fussed whenever he saw books. Once, Xia Shiming forced her to copy copybooks, and he actually put them in an incense burner and burned them.
Xia Shiming was so angry that he stamped his feet, "You can't teach a child." He decided that the rumors about his legitimate son had spread to Xu's bad intentions, and his teachings to his legitimate son became increasingly scarce, but he taught more and more to the two concubines, especially Aunt Guo. The son he gave birth to was a child who seemed to have inherited the talent of reading from the scholarly family of the Guo family. Before he could even learn to walk, he liked to sit on the fire bed and read books to find the words he knew.
When he was half a year old, Aunt Guo often used books to guide him to read. When she stayed with him, Aunt Guo would put down the embroidery work she was doing and concentrate on teaching her son to read word by word, even if his son still couldn't read. Even though she couldn't speak, she taught her seriously because she knew that even though her son couldn't speak, he could understand what she said.
As long as you understand it and teach it a few times, you will naturally remember it.
In this way, Aunt Guo's son knew a lot of words before he learned to speak. When he learned to speak, he could already know a lot of words. Xia Shiming was very happy and said that he had inherited his love of reading.
Therefore, Xia Shiming taught Aunt Guo's son very carefully.
Mrs. Xu was so angry that she died.
Her son was a legitimate son, but Xia Shiming ignored him and focused on teaching a bastard. Several times, she took her son to Xia Shiming and asked him to teach him, but... well, it was her son's fault.
Not to mention that he would sit down and listen to Xia Shiming's lectures carefully. Even if he stayed with Xia Shiming for one more minute, he would cry and make trouble. The angry Xia Shiming ordered the servant to take him out, and from now on, he would never let his legitimate son again. Enter his study.
If Xia Zihan is a thorn in Xu's heart, then Aunt Guo and her son are another thorn in Xu's heart.
She didn't dare to have bad intentions now, and she was also worried that if Xia Shiming found out, he would really divorce her and straighten Aunt Guo up. By then, her two children would become the children of her cousin's wife, and in the Xia family's Even the concubines and concubines would be worse off.
Even for a pair of children, Mrs. Xu would not dare to do anything wrong now.
After being bullied by her sister-in-law, she just retorted and talked, but she didn't dare to have any real thoughts.
"Sister Ying, what are you looking at? Get in the car quickly."
After Mrs. Xu got in the car, she saw that her daughter was still looking at the Chu family's door blankly, so she shouted and ordered the maid to help Xia Ziying up.
Xia Ziying's heart beat like a drum, and she got into the car with a red face.
When Xia Zilan saw it, she exclaimed, "Third sister, what's wrong with your face? Why is it so red? Could it be that you have a fever?"
He reached out to touch Xia Ziying's forehead.
Xia Ziying panicked, moved her head slightly to avoid her hand, and said casually, "I'm not sick, it's the sun."
"Oh."
It was a nice day today, and the sun was really hot. After standing under the sun for so long just now, Xia Zilan and Xu thought it was true, so they didn't take it seriously.
Mrs. Liu's eyes flickered and she glanced at Xia Ziying a few more times.
Xia Ziying lowered her head. Although she could no longer see her expression clearly, Liu felt that something was wrong. To say that the sun is hot, it is indeed quite hot, but among the eight masters and servants, only Xia Ziying's face turns red. Could it be that the sun is only shining on Xia Ziying?
Mrs. Liu didn't believe it, so she thought about it carefully in her head. Suddenly, she thought of the eldest young master of the Chu family.
With such a devilish face that makes people unable to take their eyes off him, and his noble status, potential, and ability, he is probably the husband candidate in every girl's mind, right?
And Xia Ziying is also thirteen years old.
It's time to settle down with your in-laws.
Suddenly, Mrs. Liu seemed to have seen through Xia Ziying's heart, with a trace of sarcasm flashing in her eyes.
Although Xia Ziying is beautiful, she is only the second daughter of a fourth-rank minister. With such an identity, there are people all over the capital. She still wants to climb up the Chu family and covet the eldest young master of the Chu family. Well, being a concubine is not bad.
Daydreaming.
……
After seeing off all the guests, Xia Zihan returned to the room, planning to wash off the dust and feel refreshed.
But as soon as she entered the room, she saw someone leaning on her imperial concubine's couch reading a book just like he was in her room.
That book was a travelogue she had read before.
And that content...
Xia Zihan's face turned red, and she hurriedly ran over to grab the book, her eyes flashing, "When did you come, why did you come, and you didn't even send a maid to tell me."
In my mind, I was calculating how long he had been here and how much I had read in this book. I guess I didn’t see anything that I couldn’t read, right?
Towards the end of the book, there are a few pages about the scenes of the male and female protagonists getting married in the cave, house flowers, and candle night. The descriptions are very clear. They even describe the pain of the woman breaking through her melon, what position the man used, and where He Han kissed the woman. Very detailed.
At that time, she felt her face was burning after watching it.
Afraid of being read by others, she remembered that she deliberately placed this book on the highest and far edge of the bookshelf. Unexpectedly, this bastard would read it.
Thinking of this, Xia Zihan glared at him angrily. She was about to say a few more words to him, but he stretched out his hand and pulled her onto him. He took the opportunity to hug her tightly.
Xia Zihan panicked and took a quick look inside the room. Only then did he realize that the maid waiting in the room had disappeared, and even the door was closed tightly.
"I've been waiting for you for almost an hour, why did you come here just to play like this?" Chu Jingqi's voice was filled with resentment.
He also pointed to the book in Xia Zihan's hand, "Ayu, I have finished reading this book."
Xia Zihan's cheeks turned red, and under Chu Jingqi's teasing eyes, she became angry from embarrassment.
She pinched him hard on the waist and said, "You are not allowed to enter my house casually in the future. If you enter my house casually, I will... ignore you again."
Can this excuse threaten him?
Haha...
Chu Jingqi laughed muffledly, "Ayu, you are so cute, are you willing to ignore me?"
"Humph, there are no three-legged roosters, and there are two-legged toads all over the streets."
This sentence was a casual colloquialism she learned in Caojia Village in her previous life. It was an insinuation of those who laughed at others for not being able to book their husband's house.
Chu Jingqi's face turned cold, and she clenched her hands tightly, her face full of energy, "What do you mean, do you still want to marry someone else?"
Damn bastard, ouch, her waist.
Xia Zihan angrily went to twist the back of her hand. She didn't know how the flesh on his body grew. The skin looked white and tender, but when twisted, it was harder than a sow's skin.
Oops, it didn't hurt him, but it made her fingers tired and sore.
Seeing her aggrieved look, Chu Jingqi's heart softened again. He grabbed her hand and breathed, "Don't say that next time, otherwise, I will take it seriously."
"Asshole." Xia Zihan cursed angrily.
Chu Jingqi laughed shamelessly, "You just like me, a bastard, don't you."
