"When is your birthday?"
Yao Susu's heart trembled. The journey from Jiangnan to Shengjing was long and her heart was tormented.
Her uncle and aunt sold her to support her cousin's studies. Although she was heartbroken, she could not blame them. Her cousin was a good student and had a promising future. He passed the imperial examination and became a famous prodigy in the area at the age of sixteen.
Her cousin studied in a private school in the county town, which cost a lot of money. Her uncle went out to work, so she and her aunt did some needlework at home to supplement the family income. The whole family lived in poverty.
We could have gotten by, but my uncle broke his leg, and the pillar of the family collapsed. And my cousin needed money for his studies.
It's better to sell her, it will be considered as repaying the kindness of raising her for more than ten years.
However, at first Yao Susu only thought that she would be sold to a wealthy family as a maid, but gradually she heard from Mother Zhou, who brought her to Shengjing, that she was wanted to be a concubine to give birth to offspring for the Marquis's Mansion.
As for why I chose her, it was because of her birthday on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month and her zodiac sign of the rabbit.
When the old lady asked, she replied, "I was born on the ninth day of the ninth month."
Wu had actually already thoroughly investigated Yao Susu's family background. She was only asking about it now to gain peace of mind.
Master Yuanhui of Jing'an Temple said that a woman born on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month and born in the Year of the Rabbit will definitely give birth to a child for her family.
Xu Zekun, the prince of the Marquisate, is already twenty-six years old and has no children yet. She can't wait any longer.
Even if Xu Zekun disagrees, she will force him to marry Yao!
At this time, Mrs. Wu looked at Yao Susu's little face again, and she couldn't help but feel a little more satisfied.
Being born beautiful is a good thing, but food, sex and nature are also human nature. It would be better if Xu Zekun changed his temperament!
Now that he has entered the mansion, there will be plenty of opportunities to train him in the future.
Mrs. Wu asked a few more questions and then let Ziwan take Yao Susu downstairs to settle her down.
Although Yao Susu was destined to be Xu Zekun's concubine, she had no official status yet, so she was placed in a remote courtyard for the time being.
It is called Baozhuxuan.
When Ziwan brought her there, the pavilion had already been tidied up, and there were two maids waiting there, one was Yuping and the other was Yuzhan.
The two of them looked about two or three years older than Yao Susu. Yuzhan had an oval face and looked decent and gentle, while Yuping had a round face with a pair of curious and childish eyes.
When the two saw Yao Susu, they were both captivated by her appearance. Working as maids in a prominent family like the Marquis' Mansion, they had seen many beauties, but they did not expect Yao Susu's appearance to be so outstanding, especially her pair of watery eyes. When they looked into her eyes, their hearts felt as if they were immersed in warm water.
Although she was dressed modestly, she exuded a fragility that was quite rare, and I felt sorry for her.
Yao Susu was even more humble. Not to mention that she was nothing now, even if she became the prince's concubine in the future, she would still be humble as dirt.
She bowed to Yuzhan and Yuping and said, "Greetings, sisters."
Yu Ping quickly moved aside to avoid her greeting, and then quickly helped Yao Susu up, saying, "Miss, you are embarrassing us."
Ziyuan smiled slightly and said, "Young lady, you have just entered the mansion and may not know the rules yet. Yuping and Yuzhan are there to serve you. How can you offer them a blessing?"
Ziyuan's tone was gentle, but Yao Susu's face flushed for no reason, and she stammered, "Hmm."
But this is still wrong, because Ziyuan is actually also a slave, and Yao Susu's attitude is still wrong.
Ziwan sighed inwardly, thinking that since she came from a poor family, it was inevitable that she would be petty. Fortunately, the old lady was far-sighted and specially invited a nanny to teach her the rules.
"Young lady, you've been traveling a long way. Rest first. A maid will come this afternoon to teach you the proper etiquette. I'll bring her over."
