Chapter 73 Dress Up
"There is a way."
No one knew when Ke Yunyun entered the main hall and she just stood quietly outside the crowd. If no one mentioned her, she probably wouldn't have said a word.
Su Tai hurriedly came forward and pulled her over to sit down, with a look of concern on her face, "My dear cousin, what is the solution you are talking about?"
Ke Yunyun lowered her eyelids, coughed twice, and said softly, "I will marry Mr. Zhu, so that everyone won't have to worry."
"No! We didn't send you away even when we were in the most difficult time. Now that we're finally getting through this, how can we let you become someone's concubine?" Ke Dasong's eyes were red, his teeth were gnashed, and his reaction was very intense.
Su Nizi's eyes were filled with tears, and she cried pitifully, "Yunyun, your father is right. You were so little back then, and we spent so much effort to raise you. How could we let you become someone else's concubine? Dad and mom will think of a way, so you don't have to worry about it."
Ke Yunyun looked at her parents with pity, and persuaded them: "Mom and Dad, I know you feel sorry for me, but you also heard what the doctor said. I am born weak. Not only can I not go back to the ice field, I can't do heavy work. I need to take good care of myself, and if possible, I need to take more supplements.
How can ordinary families afford this? If I followed Master Zhu, maybe I could still live such a life! It is a blessing, not a disaster. If it is a disaster, it is inevitable. Anyway, I can't let my uncle's family who love me suffer because of me, otherwise I will not be able to live a peaceful life in this life."
Su Chunlin wiped her face and sighed, "My dear, life as a concubine is not as easy as you think."
Su Tai nodded in agreement, "My cousin almost became Master Bai's concubine before, so I know something. In a family like the Bai family, concubines are the master's personal maids, but they have to serve not only the mistress, but also the master. Without the mistress's permission, concubines cannot have children, and even if they give birth to a child, they cannot call the master mother.
If a daughter is born, she will be destined to be a concubine in the future. If she is lucky, she may be able to marry and become a man's wife, but it will be difficult for her to have a good future. If a son is born, he will be separated immediately after marriage and will not get much of the family property. Unless the mother of the illegitimate son receives the grace of the master, she will die of old age in the backyard and will not be able to leave with her son.
Think about it, if I really marry Mr. Zhu as a concubine, my life might be even more difficult than it is now."
"What should I do?" Su Nizi broke down and lay on the table crying.
Ke Dasong and his two sons also had solemn expressions and remained silent for a long time.
Ke Yunyun's eyes flickered, then she fell silent again. She stood up and bowed to Su Taiying, "Cousin, thank you for telling me so much. Master Zhu will come to pick me up in five days. Can I trouble you to do me another favor?"
Su Tai agreed without hesitation.
In the evening, Su Tai and Shen Yi returned to Shenjiazhuang.
The wind was even stronger at this time, and there were some raindrops in it, which fell on my neck and made me shiver all over.
Chen Yi quickly closed the door, and Su Tai also went into the kitchen to light a fire, boil water and cook.
After Shen Yi settled the donkey, he came in with two buckets of water and helped Su Tai cook.
Su Tai took the opportunity to ask, "Brother Shen, what do you think my cousin wants to do?"
Just now, Ke Yunyun asked Su Tai to help her get some beautiful dresses and rouge and powder. She vaguely guessed what Ke Yunyun wanted to do, but she didn't understand the deeper meaning.
Shen Yi shook his head. "No matter what your cousin wants to do, I think she is a person who takes the overall situation into consideration and will not do anything reckless. But you, how do you want to help?"
Su Tai hesitated for a while, then took a long breath, "Help her get a purple cotton dress and shoes, and buy her a jade hairpin, a jade bracelet, and a set of rouge and powder. What do you think?"
Shen Yi nodded slightly, "Let's go to Dahe Town again."
That night Su Tai brought the purple dye to the transfer station. This time there was not much fabric to be dyed, so it didn't take too long.
It will be almost ready by the time they come back from Dahe Town after buying things.
Su Tai held the cloth and tried it on herself. Ke Yunyun was thinner and more delicate than she was, so she was very suitable for wearing a curved skirt. She made pleats on the skirt, layer by layer, which was warm and elegant.
Fat people look bloated wearing these clothes, but for someone with a figure like Ke Yunyun, wearing them not only hides her flaws but also adds a sense of nobility and elegance.
More importantly, the quji is simple to make, although it consumes some material. But for Su Tai, these are not a problem.
A set of dresses was completed in just two days.
Seeing the finished product, even Shen Yi was amazed, "Wife, you have such skillful hands! I have never seen a skirt like this before."
Su Tai raised the corners of her mouth proudly, turned back to her room, and took out a pair of purple pearl flowers and a purple silk flower from her dressing table. When they were put together, even she was amazed.
The next day was dark.
Shen Yi drove a donkey cart to take Su Tai back to her parents' home.
It was still early, and even if Master Zhu wanted to come to pick someone up, he couldn't come so quickly. The entire Su family was filled with gloom, and everyone had a gloomy face and looked miserable.
Su Tai didn't have time to comfort them, so she took the things and went straight to find Ke Yunyun.
When Ke Yunyun, dressed up in a new outfit, walked into the main room, everyone's eyes widened.
Ruan Xiaoyu rubbed her eyes vigorously and murmured absentmindedly, "Did I see a fairy?"
Han came back to her senses and swallowed hard, "Oh my goodness, no wonder Mr. Zhu wanted to take a concubine after only seeing Yunyun once, he really has good taste!"
With such a face and such a body, it is impossible for an ordinary family to marry her. I don’t know how my sister-in-law gave birth to her!
Su Nizi was anxious, and she went forward to pull Ke Yunyun and yelled, "You stupid kid, why are you dressed like this? Go change!"
Ke Yunyun shook her head at her with a determined look, "Mom, Master Zhu will be here soon, I want to talk to him and fight for myself, don't worry."
Suniko was stunned.
Just as Su Tai was about to ask, a strange voice came from outside.
Ke Yunyun was the first to walk out, "They are coming!"
Zhu Yixuan has been thinking about Ke Yunyun ever since he met her that day. He also knew that the Ke family did not want their daughter to marry him as a concubine, so he came to their house in person today and brought valuable gifts, showing his sincerity.
Just when he was thinking about how to negotiate with the Ke family, the beauty he had been thinking about day and night appeared in front of him without any warning.
Zhu Yixuan's eyes could no longer move, leaving only an infatuated look on his face.
Ke Yunyun stepped forward, bowed to Zhu Yixuan, and called softly, "Mr. Zhu?"
Zhu Yixuan shook his head and gradually regained his senses. He looked at the beautiful Ke Yunyun in front of him with joy. He could not tolerate anyone else in his eyes. "Miss Ke, I came here specially to welcome you today. I know you are a girl from a good family. I also know that being a concubine is unfair to you. But I have already been married, so there is really nothing I can do. But I can promise you that as long as you marry me, you will be my concubine, different from other concubines."
