"Today, there is a guest at home. He is a man from outside the family, so it is not convenient for the fourth lady to meet him."
"Madam, this is also for the sake of the fourth lady's reputation."
Zhu Xianyue's identity this time is the concubine's daughter of a fifth-rank official in the capital of Song Dynasty.
He didn't come from a high-class family and his stepmother was very harsh on him, so he didn't have a good life.
It's autumn now and the weather is very cold.
She was only fourteen.
It's the time to grow.
But the clothes on my body cannot keep me warm.
And it's very shabby.
Zhu Xianyue sneered and said, "Since he's a stranger and it's inconvenient to meet him, then why can my second sister go but I can't?"
The servant was startled.
Why did the usually weak and easily bullied Fourth Miss become so aggressive...
And what he said is well-reasoned.
"This... the eldest lady is also doing this for the young lady's own good. She wants the young lady to serve Concubine Qin well..."
"You're wrong again. Aunt Qin is a concubine, and I'm the legitimate Fourth Young Lady. How can I serve her?"
"But because I crawled out of her belly, I abide by filial piety, so I stay with her."
In the Song Dynasty, children born to concubines had a higher status than their biological mothers.
And the original owner's mother was not good to her.
Always blaming her for not being a boy.
The original owner was driven into depression by his own mother and committed suicide by jumping into a well.
If you give birth but don't raise it, you can return it even if your fingers are cut off.
Zhu Xianyue will serve Aunt Qin until the end of her life, but she will not show her much respect.
"...What the girl said is true."
The old woman was uneducated and didn't know how to refute.
The meeting in front and behind has already started, so it is not appropriate for Zhu Xianyue to go at this moment.
I can only give up today.
"I just spoke harshly, not to you, so don't take it to heart."
Give a slap and then give a sweet date, Zhu Xianyue still understands this principle of house fighting.
He apologized with a smile.
Her bright and innocent face naturally made the old woman feel less angry.
The two of them dispersed.
…
Zhu Xianyue's father had a wife and two concubines.
One of the concubines died two years ago.
And he left no offspring.
Now, Aunt Qin is the only concubine in the Zhu family (not counting the main room).
And she has a daughter, Zhu Xianyue.
It can be considered as having someone to rely on.
Zhu Xianyue is the fourth child and the youngest girl in the family.
The eldest daughter was the daughter of the principal wife and was already married and had gone to the border with her husband.
The second young lady is also the daughter of the principal wife, and is currently meeting guests with the master and mistress in the front yard.
The third child is a boy, sixteen years old. He just passed the provincial examination this year and will have to wait another two years before he can take part in the final palace examination.
She often reads and doesn't hang out with her sisters.
She is also the daughter of the principal wife.
The fourth girl is Zhu Xianyue.
In fact, the deceased concubine gave birth to a illegitimate son, but the son died young.
A child who dies young is considered a bad omen.
Not only was the child not included in the family tree, but his body was also thrown into the wilderness.
Actually, the third brother is the only boy in the Zhu family.
Or a legitimate child.
Naturally noble status.
…
The courtyard where Aunt Qin lived was called Yingchun Pavilion.
In the most remote corner of the Zhu Mansion.
Aunt Qin was not very favored either.
Zhu Xianyue was raised by Aunt Qin since childhood.
On the surface, it was because the lady couldn't bear to see them separated from each other.
But in fact, when Zhu Xianyue came of age, she was already a "raised woman" girl.
In the Song Dynasty, the term "son of a bitch" was actually an insult.
It means that you don't know the rules, are mean, don't know etiquette, are disgraceful, and are not presentable.
In short, all the ugly curse words can be replaced by the phrase "son of a bitch".
