Wen Mianmian woke up and found herself transmigrated into a show girl at the Qing Dynasty's selection of consorts. That&...
But she had great confidence in the Fourth Master. She believed that even if a new person came into the mansion, the Fourth Master would still treat her the same way.
Wen Mianmian put this matter behind her for the time being.
He led his men into the main courtyard.
Princess Song, Lady Wu and the others had already arrived early.
A group of people sat in the hall, drinking tea and chatting with a harmonious look on their faces but discord on their hearts.
Soon the concubine came out, but this time she was followed by a young girl.
She was wearing a pink cheongsam, with a pretty face, a graceful figure and outstanding temperament.
Although her appearance was not as beautiful as Wen Mianmian's, the first impression this girl gave was very comfortable, just like a beautiful girl from a small family. She was really pleasing to the eye. Even Wen Mianmian couldn't help but sigh that this girl was indeed pretty.
"Greetings to Madam Fu Jin." Everyone stood up and bowed to Madam Fu Jin.
The wife sat at the top seat, looked at them and said with a smile, "No need to be polite, please sit down."
The cousin next to Fu Jin lowered her head slightly and bowed slightly to Wen Mianmian and the others.
"The girl next to Fu Jin looks unfamiliar. I wonder who she is..." Li said curiously, looking at the woman next to Fu Jin with a handkerchief in her hand.
She had also heard about what happened yesterday, but she had to ask if it was true since she saw it, otherwise how could Fu Jin perform well?
Li's words made everyone look at the girl next to Fu Jin.
When Fu Jin heard Li mention the people around her, she smiled and said softly, "This is my cousin from my mother's family. I'm going to be in the imperial selection soon, so I brought her here to keep me company and learn some etiquette."
As Fu Jin spoke, she glanced at Ma Jia Ruening.
"This girl is really pretty. I wonder which prince she will be married to in the future." Mrs. Wu also spoke with a smile.
"It wouldn't be bad to point her out to anyone. Speaking of which, we don't have many sisters in our mansion, and this time the selection should bring in quite a few new sisters."
In the past, Li would never have said this.
But things are different now. She is no longer favored by her master, so she naturally cannot let Wen be the only one to favor her.
After saying this, Li also glanced at Wen Mianmian.
Wen Mianmian seemed not to hear what was said over there and sat upright aside.
When Fu Jin heard what Li said, she subconsciously glanced at Wen Mianmian.
The Wen family is really stable, but I don’t know if she can still do so when new people come in the future.
"It all depends on the master's wishes, but we do have few sisters in our mansion. In a few days, I will go to the palace and talk to my mother about it. I hope she can choose a few beautiful and attentive girls to serve the master."
There was nothing wrong with what Fu Jin said. No matter what, there would always be people selected into the palace during every selection, and no one had any objections.
Even if they have opinions, they are powerless and dare not express them.
"Sister Wen, don't you think so?" At the end, Fu Jin specifically mentioned Wen Mianmian and looked at her.
Wen Mianmian was stunned for a moment when she heard Fu Jin mention her. The moment she met Fu Jin's gaze, Wen Mianmian knew what Fu Jin was planning.
She smiled and said, "What Fu Jin said is true."
When Fu Jin heard Wen Mianmian say this, she couldn't help but choke. She didn't expect that Wen was so tolerant.
She thought that Wen would at least look unhappy or something when hearing the word "talent show", but she didn't see any such reaction.
She had to admire the Wen family's strength.
If it were the old Li, she would have turned ugly and couldn't bear it after hearing this.
It's nothing like the Wen family who can still force a smile.
That’s right, in Fu Jin’s eyes, the smile on Wen Mianmian’s face was just a forced one.
Ma Jia Ruining, who was following the concubine, also glanced at Concubine Wen.
This Concubine Wen is indeed beautiful. Although she is not bad looking either, she is still a little inferior to this Concubine Wen.
However, thinking of her family's advice, she believed that if she could enter the Fourth Master's Mansion, she would definitely be no worse than this concubine.
She is younger and prettier than Concubine Wen. Men tend to get bored with the old and love the new. Even if Concubine Wen still has her charm, she will eventually become yesterday's flower.
Li Gege is a good example.
She had long been in love with the Fourth Master, but no one knew that she had met him when she was eleven years old. At that time, she happened to be drinking tea upstairs in a restaurant and could see what was happening on the street from downstairs.
The Fourth Master came to the restaurant to have dinner with others. She fell in love with him at first sight when she saw him upstairs.
After some inquiries, she found out that he was the Fourth Master, a prince, and she was very happy.
If she had not been so young three years ago, it might not be Concubine Wen who is favored now, but her, Ma Jia Ruening.
But she concealed it very well, and no one ever knew what she was thinking. This time, she knew that her family wanted to pick someone to enter the Fourth Prince's Mansion to help the Fourth Lady.
It just so happens that she is the only one in the family who is of the most suitable age, so she is the best candidate.
She was ecstatic when she heard the news, so when asked if she was willing, she agreed without hesitation.
When Wen Mianmian was speaking, she happened to see the look Ma Jia Ruening was looking at her.
Ma Jiaruining replied with a faint smile, and Wen Mianmian smiled without saying much.
Everyone sat with Fu Jin for a while, and then Wen Mianmian and others left.
On the way back, Wen Mianmian didn't say much. Seeing that she thought Concubine Fu Jin was overthinking it, Nanny Song couldn't help but comfort her:
"Master, don't worry. There will definitely be someone admitted during the selection. But you already have three children, and your master has always been kind to you. Even if a new person comes in later, your master will definitely not forget you."
Nanny Song knew that her master would definitely be sad, but this was the prince's mansion, not an ordinary family. Even ordinary families would have three wives and four concubines.
Not to mention the prince's mansion. In fact, the Fourth Master's women are relatively rare among the mansions of several adult princes.
Look at the Third Master’s mansion, he is a playboy with a lot of princesses and concubines. And in the mansion of Prince Zhi, although Prince Zhi likes the First Wife very much, people outside say that the love between Prince Zhi and the First Wife is stronger than gold, but don’t they also have a lot of princesses and concubines?
She said this because she didn't want her master to get into a dead end.
In this deep mansion, the only way to last long is to be detached from emotions. This is an eternal truth.
Wen Mianmian turned her head to look at Nanny Song's worried expression, patted her hand, and said with a gentle smile, "Don't worry, Nanny, I didn't think too much about it. I was just thinking about what to eat for lunch today. I didn't expect that Nanny was more worried about the draft than I was."
Wen Mianmian felt warm in her heart. She knew what the nanny said, so when Fu Jin said that there would be new people entering the mansion after the selection, Wen Mianmian was not panicked at all.
The master's heart is with him. Even if more beauties come into the mansion, the Fourth Master will never forget her.
On the contrary, if the Fourth Master's heart is not with her, even if there is no new person entering the mansion, the Master will go to someone else.
