Family Has a Concubine

Outside the city gate where pedestrians flocked, a simple green-topped carriage walked slowly among the crowd.

A handsome-looking man in his early twenties, wearing a blue robe with a round collar, was riding a tall horse and walking beside the carriage.

The handsome man looked ahead and frowned suddenly. The curtain of the carriage was always raised. A woman who was nearly forty years old inside saw him frown and said, "Erlang, what's wrong with you?"

"Mother and elder brother are in front!" Chu Congke snorted.

Aunt Fei stretched her head slightly out of the car window, and saw that there were indeed two carriages driving not far ahead, and in front of the carriage was a young man in his mid-twenties, who was Chu Feiyang, the eldest son of the Chu family.

These two people are exactly the masters of the Chu family in Dingguobo's mansion who have gone out.

Yesterday was a good day, and the natal nephew of the mistress of the Chu family, Qin Shi, also got married yesterday.

The Qin family took their children and daughter-in-law back to Minzhou to drink the wedding wine. The capital is two hours away from Minzhou, so Qin and others stayed in Minzhou for one night. It's only now.

And yesterday was also a good day to worship the Buddha. Aunt Fei and Aunt Bai from the mansion went to Qiyun Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to offer incense. Aunt Bai wanted to stay in the temple for a few more days, but Aunt Fei couldn't bear it. Stayed for one night and returned after eating fast.

Unexpectedly, the two people met outside the city gate!

Aunt Fei curled her lips, and didn't pay much attention to the mistress and her party in front, and of course, the people in front didn't care about them either.

Aunt Fei said: "In half a year, Ying'er will be out of service, and it's time to prepare for your marriage."

Chu Congke smiled, but in the next moment, the expression on his face changed, and he said with some distaste: "After I get married, the third brother should also prepare."

The Chu family only had three sons and two daughters in their lifetime.

The Chu family was also a prosperous family back then, but Uncle Chu's younger brothers all died in that battle, leaving only Uncle Chu's lineage, and the dependents of the Chu family saw that the situation of the Chu family was gone, and left one after another.

The sons of this generation of the Chu family are the eldest son Chu Feiyang, the second son Chu Congke and the third son Chu Yunpan.

Chu Feiyang is already married, and Chu Congke and Chu Yunpan are also engaged early.

When it comes to his own marriage, Chu Congke is very uncomfortable. Because he ordered Xue Yinger, the concubine's daughter of the household servant's concubine, but Chu Yunpan booked Ye Licai, the concubine's concubine's daughter of Jing'an Houfu. In terms of family status and background, Ye Licai is much better than Xue Yinger.

"I don't know what kind of style the old man of the Ye family was playing!" Chu Congke has always been a narrow-minded man, and he has muttered this sentence countless times, "Because of that defeat, our uncle's mansion was stepped down, and the Ye family actually had a head. Hit up, rush to get married with our family."

Ye Licai's engagement to Chu Yunpan was in the third year of the downfall of the Bo Mansion.

At that time, the Chu family lost Yingcheng and defeated Yu'an Pass. Not only was his reputation discredited, but before his death, Mrs. Chu sold 80% of his family's property to compensate the soldiers who died in battle, so the uncle's house was completely defeated.

As the saying goes, when walls fall and people push them, and trees fall and monkeys scatter, the situation of the Chu family back then was not to mention how depressed and difficult it was.

Even a princess who was engaged to Chu Feiyang ran away after hearing the news, and found a reason to resign from the engagement.

But at this moment, the Jing'an Hou Mansion bumped into it!

The old man of the Ye family is Ye Hewen's father, that is, Ye Tangcai's great-grandfather.

This Mrs. Ye is also a strange person. He has never had much contact with the Chu family, but the Chu family's decline has been avoided by everyone, but Mrs. Ye said that he has always admired the Chu family. Everyone is a hero. The ancestors of the Chu family were all good, so for this achievement, they shouldn't end up in the current situation.

But he was weak and couldn't help, so he didn't know how to turn his head, so he wanted to book a marriage with the Chu family.

And Mrs. Chu was also moved to send charcoal in the snow in the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Originally, Mrs. Ye wanted to book Ye Tangcai to the Chu family's son, but at that time Ye Tangcai was booked by the Wen family to the Zhang family, so she had to settle for the next best thing and book Ye Licai.

But Ye Licai is the daughter of a concubine, and Mrs. Ye was afraid of humiliating the son of the Chu family, so she had no choice but to choose. Chu Congke and Chu Yunpan are about the same age, so if they want to order, it is naturally Chu Congke who is the older brother, but they don't agree with each other, so they have to order Chu Yunpan.

"Is it really his fate?" Chu Congke snorted.

"What a fate!" Aunt Fei sneered and said, "You don't even know. Last month, I heard that Mrs. Sun is secretly asking people to find another marriage for Ye Licai!"

"Really?" Chu Congke was delighted.

"Why am I lying to you!" Aunt Fei sighed, "When the two families were engaged, the Sun family had so many fights! In the end, they still couldn't touch the old thing above! But now, the old thing has already been in the third He returned to the west a few years ago, without his pressure, and the filial piety period is over, so the Sun family will naturally find another way out for Ye Licai."

Chu Congke raised his eyebrows when he heard it, with a playful and joyful expression.

"The current Ye Laohou is no better than Dexian Houye. He is the most ungrateful and ungrateful. Your father has such a temperament. It is not easy to withdraw from the marriage. You just wait and see. After you get married, Mrs. Sun I will be in a hurry, and I will definitely come to the door to withdraw the marriage." Aunt Fei's tone was cold, "Back when we got engaged, our Chu family still had some prestige, now..."

Although I really don't want to admit it, the current Chu family is really down and out, which corresponds to the words "poor settlement" in other people's mouths.

"Although his aunt is dead, it can't be erased that she came from the Goulan House. Let's see what he can marry! Why are you angry with him?" Aunt Fei pointed at Chu Congke with her handkerchief.

"Who is angry with him?" Chu Congke instantly felt better and smiled.

Chu Congke loved to compete with his brothers since he was a child.

Chu Congke competed with his first brother because he felt that he was no worse than his elder brother, and he could also be a son. One day he will pull his brother down from the horse. Even the eldest son of a dilapidated family is still an eldest son! And the most valuable thing in this family is the title!

Chu Congke competes with his younger brother, because his younger brother is the most beautiful among the brothers. Although his younger brother is not as good as him in all aspects, he has a better marriage than him.

Now, hehe, he is happy when he thinks that Chu Yunpan has been divorced and can't find a marriage.

The mother and son were talking, and before they knew it, the carriage had reached Changsheng Street where Ding Guobo's Mansion was located.

Chu Feiyang and his group in front had already turned a corner and headed for the east corner gate.

After riding the horse for a long time, Chu Congke was also very tired, so he yawned, pinched the horse's belly lightly, and the horse led the carriage to speed up.

The two Ba people entered the door one after another, and finally stopped outside the Chuihua Gate, and the servants and maidservants bustlingly went downstairs to open the curtains.

Chu Congke got off his horse and walked towards a handsome man in his mid-twenties, with a handsome face and sharp features. This person is Chu Feiyang, the eldest son of Dingguobo Mansion.

"Brother." Chu Congke greeted him with a smirk.

Chu Feiyang only nodded with a cold handsome face. His cold face does not mean that he is angry, because he has always had a paralyzed face and rarely expresses any expression.

The female relatives in the carriage got off one after another.

The mother of the Chu family, Qin, the wife of Chu Feiyang, Jiang Xinxue, the eldest daughter Chu Miaoshu, and the second daughter Chu Miaohua. This group of people came back from Changzhou.

Aunt Fei came here, shaking her handkerchief.

"Madam! You're back!" At this moment, a maid in gray clothes hurried over. She was the maid in Qin's house, named Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi's expression was very bad: "Third Master... got married yesterday!"
