Chapter 77577. Complaint
Cen Gaosong felt a little dizzy after a few drinks. When he heard someone complaining, he finally found an outlet to vent his distress.
"Yes, they are all the same. They give birth to children for me, so why should we distinguish between high and low?
All day long, they quarreled and made trouble in the mansion, totally ignoring me, the master..."
Wu Haicong and the others all knew what happened in Cen Gaosong's backyard.
They all said privately that Cen Gaosong was confused. I am a concubine, how could I fool others?
When they first arrived, several families still had interactions with each other, and their wives complained a lot about this.
As a lowly concubine, she dares to call herself Madam and treats herself as equal to those who have been granted imperial titles.
Even some people of lower ranks bowed to her, and she accepted it. She didn't know where she got the nerve to do so.
As colleagues, they shouldn't be too picky.
But there was still a thorn in their hearts, making them feel particularly uncomfortable.
If the legitimate Mrs. Cen had not arrived, they didn't know how long they would have been deceived.
Under the influence of alcohol, Wu Haicong also wanted to complain, "A wife is a wife, a concubine is a concubine, without rules, there will be no order.
While we men are out there working to make our own careers, the backyard should be left to the mistress of the house to take care of.
Although I love sex, I know what is important and what is not. The Madam is in charge of all matters in the mansion. If you don't interfere, she will help you to manage everything smoothly. If you interfere, doesn't it mean that you don't trust her?"
Cen Gaosong chuckled, "Master Wu, what you said is really good.
But I heard that you were going to give the Gu family's marriage to your concubine's daughter, and let your wife take care of it, but it was her niece from her mother's side who got it instead."
"..." Wu Haicong knew he was being mocked, "...They are all the same."
Seeing that the other party didn't believe him, Wu Haicong took a deep breath and said, "My wife is not biased. At that time, she brought both the concubine's daughter and the niece to Madam Gu. Unfortunately, my two daughters were not good enough and Madam Gu didn't like them.
Fortunately, my wife's niece has such a good match, so she won't have to worry about anything in her life."
Because of this, he and his wife had a tantrum for several days.
But the couple has already decided on the marriage, and he is not so stupid as to disrupt it.
Cen Gaosong: “…” It’s okay to comfort yourself like this.
Li Mingyun looked at Wu Haicong with some envy, "Sir Wu, no one looked down upon that kid from the Gu family at that time, but who knew that he would become famous and successful right away.
Madam Gu is also a good business person. Look, in less than a year, the Hou family has taken advantage of her greatly.
I think since your ladyship has helped her family so much, the Hou family will definitely not treat her unfairly."
Li Mingyun's wife was just the daughter of a scholar, and her dowry was just a few acres of good farmland. If he had a capable in-law, he would not have stayed there for so long.
"This is all between her and her parents' family. I won't get involved." As for how much benefit she got, there was no need to tell outsiders.
Li Mingyun put down his chopsticks and said, "Now Lord Gu's nephews are all very popular. Even my wife asked me to find out about them.
Sir Wu, you and Sir Gu are relatives, so you must know more than us. Can you tell me more?"
Cen Gaosong also pricked up his ears, wondering if the candidate for son-in-law he had chosen would be targeted by others.
"I really don't know much about this," Wu Haicong was a little embarrassed because too many people had come to him for information during this period.
The guys from the Gu family usually worked downstairs and he seldom met them. Moreover, it was impossible for him to go to Lord Gu specifically to ask, so he didn't know much.
"I wonder if Lord Wu can help find out. My wife's niece is of the right age. She has already brought her child to live in the mansion. I am thinking of helping her find a good match.
My niece has been with my father-in-law since she was young. She has some knowledge and has not neglected her work and needlework."
My father-in-law is just a scholar, but he also comes from a family of farmers and scholars, and is a good match for the boys in Lord Gu's family.
I have a few nephews of the right age, and it would be great if I could meet and choose one.
He has no nephews or nieces of the right age, otherwise he would not have been given to his father-in-law's family.
“To be honest with you two lords, there are too many people who have come to me to inquire about me these days, but you also know that I am usually out on business, and I really don’t know much about Master Gu’s nephews.
In fact, you are going in the wrong direction. It is much better for the women in the back house to handle these matters than for us to step in.
If he is really a good person, bring him to Madam Gu, I think she will be moved without you even having to mention it. "
Wu Haicong finished speaking and looked at them sincerely, "Sometimes we should really trust the judgment of the women in the backyard. They can judge people more accurately than we can.
Besides, those guys are also doing their work down there. If they really want to, it’s impossible not to see them and it’s impossible not to understand them.”
Wu Haicong knew that these people would come to him because, first of all, they wanted to see the relationship between his family and Lord Gu, and another reason was that they wanted to increase the value of their child. After all, it was much better to have someone talk about the relationship than to go and negotiate on his own.
But as a grown man, how could I do such a thing as a matchmaker?
If this is opened, there will be no end to the problems.
“……”Li Mingyun.
Cen Gaosong, "..."
&
Zhang Guihong didn't know when her daughter came to her side until she was given a cup of hot tea. Only then did she come to her senses.
"Mom, you're arguing with Dad again."
"I didn't argue with him, he was just unreasonable.
It's a bit cold today, why did you come here? "
Cen Yueqin sat opposite her and said, "Everyone in the mansion is saying that mother has registered Pingdi under her name. Is this true?"
Zhang Guihong asked the waiters around her to leave, and then she said, "I just said this because I was in a hurry."
Cen Yueqin looked helpless, "Mom, didn't you tell me and my sister before that you would adopt a newborn? This Pingdi is already this big, didn't you say that you wouldn't be able to raise him well?
You have spread the word now, and now everyone in the palace knows about it, how can you change your words?"
Cen Yueqin felt helpless about this mother who was sometimes shrewd and sometimes confused.
You can say other things casually, but how can you say this casually?
Zhang Guihong still felt a little guilty. After all, she was the one who caused this disaster. "I was just so angry at the time and wanted to take this opportunity to piss off your father. Who knew that the conversation would turn out like this?"
"Then what else did you say?" Cen Yueqin was now only hoping for just a little change.
Zhang Guihong's voice became weak. "I also said that I have written to your grandfather and uncles, and they have all agreed. Maybe the family tree has been changed by the clan leader now."
Cen Yueqin felt dizzy and asked, holding her head, "Dad believes it?"
