Chapter Thirteen The Birth of the Concubine

Chen's mother was dissatisfied with the Tao family sending people over without authorization. Zhou's lawsuit was approved. She angrily called Tao and asked, "What does your parents' family mean?"

"There is nothing else. It's just that my mother valued Xiao Jiuer, the granddaughter, too much. She was afraid that I would not take good care of her, so she sent them to them. The old lady was uneasy. Their monthly money was paid by the Tao family. Not counted as a member of the Shen family, so the old lady didn't have to worry about spending extra money." Tao said with a smile.

Chen's mother sternly said: "This is not a problem of money, this is a transcendence. Are you going to compare with the county lord?"

Tao said calmly: "Old lady, you are from a noble family. You know that this girl takes eight steps to go there; there must be at least thirty-six people serving the county lord. Xiao Jiuer is the legitimate daughter of the third wife of the Shen family. She only serves twenty people, which is far worse than the county lord. Thank you for reminding me that I will continue to pay attention. If you have any good things, add them to Xiao Jiuer. You will never let the Shen family down."

Mrs. Chen used the famous family to show off her. Tao used this to criticize her, making her angry and annoyed, and blurted out: "The girl from the Shen family doesn't need to buy someone from the Tao family to serve her."

Tao smiled and said, "Old lady, I'm afraid my sister-in-law won't be willing to pay them monthly money."

Chen's mother had heard Lin's vague complaints about the family's plan being depressed and not being able to make ends meet, so she couldn't be tough. Then she thought that the Shen family would not have to pay money, and Tao would do whatever she wanted. If others wanted to follow suit, they would pay out of their own pockets.

Lin learned that it would be difficult to take care of the Shen family without paying monthly money, and of course he could not take the initiative to mention the issue of adding people to other legitimate girls. Zhou was full of resentment and cursed privately: "It is so extravagant, be careful to lose your life and lose your blessings, and die prematurely if you don't live one year old."

Zhou's words reached Tao's ears, making her angry. Just as she was thinking about how to teach Zhou's lessons, the money came to the account books for March and April in the shop, and told Tao by the way, "Madam, the eldest son of the Xu family came to take away the jade tablet."

Tao smiled happily and asked, "Can you get some things done in Zhaowen Pavilion?"

"All of them have been done, the four servants and two fist masters have been found, and the younger ones will find an opportunity to send them to Mr. Xu." Qian Lai reported.

"Okay." Tao nodded.

After the money came to leave, Mrs. Qi couldn't help asking: "Madam, why do you want to help Master Xu?"

"He is a good child." Tao couldn't tell the truth to Mrs. Qi. She changed her dreams and changed the fate of many people, and Xu Lang was one of them.

In the dream, Xu Lang helped the prince to restore the throne and became the most respected minister of the prince, but now the prince has ascended the throne and he cannot make merits; she can't bear it, nor can she see him being forced into a desperate situation by Xu Kui, the unscrupulous biological father and Shen Guiwei, the vicious stepmother, and she is willing to do her best to help him find another beautiful path.

Chen Danxia lay on the kang, with his big eyes open and eavesdropping on their conversation, and finally knew that the beautiful boy was named Xu. Xiangyu was born with his heart. He was so beautiful, he must be a good person.

The master and servant were talking, and the noble lady rushed to report, "Madam, Aunt Rao is going to give birth."

"She is going to give birth today?" Tao was a little surprised. In his dream, Rao was in pain on the night of the seventh day of the fifth month and gave birth to the child until the early morning of the eighth day of the lunar month. But now it is the second day of the fifth day of the lunar month, how could it be several days in advance?

"Auntie Dong and Aunt Rao had a few quarrels, and Aunt Rao called her stomach aches and had been sent to the prepared delivery room." The Gui Mazi explained.

I see.

"Why are they quarreling?" asked Dow.

The noble lady hesitated for a moment and said, "Auntie Rao learned that the third master gave Aunt Dong a hairpin with a chrysanthemum pattern. Auntie Dong went to show off in front of Auntie Rao. Auntie Rao was so angry that she started arguing with her."

"I'm just quarreling for a hairpin. I'm really shallow in my eyes and can't get on the table." Jinbao said contemptuously. Tao's dowry was rich, with two jade mines on hand, more than a dozen money-making shops, and seven farms with hundreds of acres of fertile land. She has always been generous to the loyal people around her. Jinbao and others are much richer than those concubines.

"Mama Gui, don't worry about the things around you. Watch Aunt Rao not let her make any mistakes. She quarrels with Aunt Dong, and when the third master comes back, let him deal with it." Tao did not have that free time and did not want to care about the affairs between the concubines.

The noble lady left.

Chen Muke came back late that day and only came back at about the hour of Hai. Aunt Rao was still screaming in the delivery room. After he learned the reason, facing Dong Qixiu who was crying, he was reluctant to blame him and ran to the main courtyard to make trouble for the Tao who had already taken his daughter to sleep. "Rao is giving birth, so you don't care about such a big noise, turn a blind eye to the ears, and you're sleeping peacefully."

Tao laughed in anger and asked, "Let the official wife guard the concubine to give birth to a child. When Lord Shen said this, aren't you afraid that others would say you favored the concubine and killed his wife?" A virtuous official wife took the initiative to guard the concubine and put on a harmonious attitude of wives and concubines, but husbands must not force them, otherwise it will cause gossip, and officials will even be impeached by the censor.

Chen Muke knew that he had made up his mind, but he couldn't get down. He snorted coldly and said, "You are unreasonable, you are petty."

Tao sat on the bed, hanging down, sneering mockingly on his lips. After Chen Muke left, he turned his head and saw his daughter looking at her with her eyes open. Tao reached out and picked her up, "Oh, I woke up my little Jiuer. Is it the most annoying thing about the disturbing dreams in the middle of the night?"

Chen Danxia looked at Tao with sympathy and pity. The man was afraid of entering the wrong career and the woman was afraid of marrying the wrong man. Such a good woman, but married Chen Muke, a scumbag, and lost her whole life. Tao couldn't understand his daughter's eyes, hummed a nursery rhyme, patted her, and coaxed her to sleep.

Aunt Rao gave birth to Chen Muke's third concubine in the middle of the night. When there was already a legitimate daughter and two concubines in the third room, the ten girls of the Shen family named Chen Danxun by Chen Muke can be ignored and dispensable.

The boys in the Shen family are of the Bai generation, and the girl is of the Dan generation. The third character of the boy is of the same word as the treasure gait. The girls are of different houses. The eldest house has the word Yu side, the second house has the word Cao, and the third house has the word Zu. At this point, Chen Muke already has two sons and four daughters.

When Aunt Rao was having a daughter, another bad news came, Dong Qixiu was pregnant for more than a month. Tao gave her a big gift and deliberately said that she hoped that Dong Qixiu would give birth to a son for Chen Muke. Chen Muke also expressed that he was looking forward to the birth of this concubine, and made Aunt Rao so jealous, and regarded Dong Qixiu as a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh.

When Chen Danxun was washed for three times, the Tao asked Mrs. Qi to send a set of silver long-lived locks, small silver bracelets and gongs. Chen Muke ignored his legitimate daughter, let alone this concubine. Chen Danxun was born until the full month, so he went to see it.
