Chapter 278 Yu Family
No matter how angry Xiao Yuan was, it was useless because the person was already gone.
There is no other way except to find someone to sneak into the general's mansion to make the connection.
Inexplicably, Governor Xiao remembered a folk saying: Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog; marry a shoulder pole, carry it on its shoulders.
But it was completely the opposite for him. He married a woman who was like an eagle and could only love and wait silently.
But this time, except Xiaodie and his wife, all the others were men, so even if they could get into the general's mansion, they couldn't get into the backyard.
There seems to be no other good idea except waiting for good news and asking people to pay more attention to the gossip in the General's Mansion.
Jiang Xinyu and Xiaodie felt like fish in water. They slept soundly and started to learn the rules from their nanny early the next morning.
They are the best among this group of guards and it is estimated that they can be sent to the young lady of the general's mansion in two days.
Yu Sheng comes from a distinguished family, but he is a lovesick man. He has been married to his wife for many years and has three sons and one daughter.
Although he took in several concubines under pressure from his mother when he was young, they were just for show.
Not that he didn't sleep.
After all, he was still in the capital at that time, and if he didn't sleep with a wife with a reputation for jealousy, he would inevitably suffer setbacks.
Besides, this is the kind of education that ancient indigenous men received since childhood.
In his eyes, those concubines were nothing more than tools and should not be treated as human beings.
What he called the arrangement was to prevent them from having children. In his opinion, this was already for the sake of being together with his wife for the rest of their lives.
Madam Yu understood all the principles that a lady from a wealthy family should understand, but knowing is one thing and being able to endure it is another.
In fact, for girls of this era, marrying someone they don't like is actually a good thing.
If you don't love, you won't care or be attentive, and you won't get hurt. Just treat being a wife as a job.
But once you are in love, it feels like a knife stabbing your heart when your partner sleeps with someone else.
Especially since etiquette prohibited her from even showing an unhappy expression, one can imagine how depressed Mrs. Yu felt.
Later, Yu Sheng was transferred to the Bashu area for a post, and his wife and children had to stay in the capital. However, just over a year later, news came that his wife was seriously ill.
He found out through a letter sent by his uncle that it was his eldest sister-in-law who instigated his mother to torture his wife.
If his mother's family had not been so strong and forced him to take her away, he would have become a widower.
That time he had a very unpleasant quarrel with his eldest brother in the eldest house, and he begged his elder sister, who was only Concubine Xian at the time, to bring his wife and children to his side.
From then on, Mrs. Yu never returned to the capital, but Yu Sheng would go back to the capital every year on the birthday to report on his work and visit her home.
Mrs. Yu was in bad health after all. It would have been fine if she had taken good care of herself, but she struggled to give birth to three children.
The eldest son was born before coming to Bashu, and within two years after arriving in Bashu, Mrs. Yu gave birth to the second son.
The pregnancy was not going well at the time, and the doctor tactfully said that my wife was not suitable for having another child.
Although Yu Sheng felt regretful, he thought that two sons were enough for him. Unexpectedly, his wife's health gradually improved and she became pregnant again.
The fetus is a truly miraculous thing.
When he feels that the mother does not want him or is not suitable to give birth to him, he will deliberately reduce his presence.
It even releases special hormones to strengthen the mother's spirit and eliminate all discomfort of pregnancy.
Mrs. Yu had not been pregnant for five or six years and thought she had lost her fertility when she gave birth to her second child.
In addition, I had my period from time to time, and it was not until more than 4 months into the pregnancy that I was accidentally diagnosed with pregnancy.
Originally, Yu Sheng wanted to abort the child for the sake of his wife's health, but the doctor said it was a girl and the couple couldn't bear to do it.
The family's constitution makes it very easy for them to have sons.
In their generation, there were four brothers and only one girl, the eldest sister.
His father's generation had several brothers, but only his aunt was born.
By the time their generation came, they were all bad boys. Finally, a sweet and soft little girl was born to his family, but the couple were reluctant to abort the baby.
At this time, the baby was already 5 months old, and Mrs. Yu couldn't bear to feel the fetal movement.
The doctor also said that having an abortion this month is more harmful to your health than giving birth.
The pampered eldest daughter of the Yu family was kept.
This time, not only did the pregnancy and childbirth go smoothly, Mrs. Yu didn't suffer at all.
The scar healed and the pain was forgotten, and coupled with a lucky mentality, when the eldest daughter was four years old and Mrs. Yu became pregnant again, she did not think of aborting the baby.
Unfortunately, I was not so lucky this time.
The birth of the third young master of the Yu family cost Mrs. Yu her last bit of life, and she barely managed to hold on for more than a year before passing away.
Yu Sheng was also affectionate. He was afraid that the children his wife gave birth to would suffer, so he resisted the pressure from all sides and did not renew the relationship.
It's a pity that he underestimated the courage of the woman in the backyard. He didn't realize his carelessness until his youngest son was killed.
The concubine didn't really want to kill the Third Young Master, she just wanted to find someone to rely on for the rest of her life.
Yu Sheng took the woman back but didn't allow her to have children. When he lost his eldest son and took over the family, these childless concubines would often be in dire straits.
If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.
After countless young and beautiful concubines tried their best to make Yu Sheng give them children but failed, she thought of the frail Third Master.
Since she is not allowed to give birth, just pick up a ready-made one.
The madam has already passed away and the third young master is still young. If the child gets sick for a few more times, people will start to blame him for not being able to take care of him without a mother.
Then the old man who doesn't want to renew his marriage might choose me, the one who has been with him the longest and has always been obedient and honest, to take care of the third young master.
The child belongs to whoever raises him.
Even if she is just a concubine, she will be able to have a decent old age after the old master passes away and the third young master sets up his own mansion.
It was a good idea at first and it was very feasible, but she overestimated the health of the Third Young Master.
How can a child who is just over two years old withstand the cold? Exerting too much force will result in nothing.
The child died, and it was discovered that she had hired a maid to deliberately open the window.
Because of her, there was a major purge in the mansion.
Yu Sheng couldn't eat for several days because one of the children his wife had given birth to for him was lost, and his youngest precious daughter was treated like an eyeball.
This kind of female guard selection event happens once a year.
Don't think that you can select ten or twenty guys at a time. After layers of screening, only half of them will stay with the girl.
This is not the end yet. The remaining half was just patrolling the perimeter at first.
If you want to enter a girl's yard, you need to wait at least one year. If you want to be by her side, you need to wait at least three years.
This level of rigor is no less than that of selecting guards for princesses and princesses.
Even the princesses in the capital city don't have so many female bodyguards with superb martial arts skills.
Jiang Xinyu listened to the girl named Xiaoxia talking about these gossips and complimented her a few times in a tactful way.
There really aren't enough girls in Beijing who are good at martial arts. It's not only a matter of culture but also a market need.
The ladies of the capital city value chastity, tranquility, and virtue.
The most talented person around them was the needlework master, Nanny Guiju, followed by those who taught music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Therefore, capable embroiderers and maids who had served nobles in the palace were particularly popular.
Everyone also has a purpose to move towards this popular profession.
If her guess was correct, there should be quite a few families who have tasted the sweetness of female guards and deliberately train girls just to make this money.
