Logically speaking, Zhao Donghe took his concubine to Yuzhu's door, which was considered a breach of etiquette.
In today's world of strict etiquette, is there any reason to bring a concubine to the house?
Hehe, Zhao Donghe is obviously testing Yuzhu to see if Lin Yaner is favored, right?
Soon, Zhao Donghe came. As soon as they met, he said haha: "Brother, I would like to congratulate the sixteen-year-old Manchu champion in advance!"
Banner people's ages are all based on imaginary numbers rather than real numbers.
"Senior brother, you are becoming more and more eloquent." Yuzhu returned the favor and smiled. Zhao Donghe was still so eloquent.
"My humble concubine, Mrs. Lin, come to meet the Second Master Yu." Lin Yan'er's biological sister, whose position was too low, she knelt down and bowed down.
Lin Yan'er wanted to help her sister up, but she didn't dare to make a mistake, so she had to look at Yuzhu again and again.
Seeing the man tapping his chin slightly, Lin Yaner immediately ran over happily and helped her sister Lin Xiaoer up with her own hands.
After the host and guest exchanged greetings, Zhao Donghe ignored the empty Taishi chair and sat down on Yuzhu's bamboo couch.
"Oh, the bamboo couch is much cooler!" Zhao Donghe's words made Yuzhu laugh.
On such a hot day, even if Zhao Donghe was wearing casual clothes, he was still wearing several layers of clothes under his outer shirt. He was covered in sweat wherever he sat.
"Concubine Lin, please pay homage to Mr. Zhao." After Lin Yan'er comforted her sister, she came over to salute Zhao Donghe.
When Zhao Donghe saw Lin Yan'er coming, he got up early. When Lin Yan'er knelt down to salute, he quickly stepped aside.
From now on, there will be many places where Zhao Donghe begs Lin Yan'er. How can he dare to accept her courtesy?
Zhao Donghe noticed carefully that Lin Yan'er called herself a concubine, not a slave, and he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Hehe, the more favored Lin Yan'er is, the more benefit will Zhao Donghe, the one who donated her beauty, benefit from?
"Yan'er, you are too polite. Your sister is my favorite woman. You two sisters should move around more in the future." Zhao Donghe's words were so shameless that Lin Yan'er secretly pouted.
Previously, Lin Xiaoer was really just a toy around Zhao Donghe. Zhao Donghe's first wife bullied Lin Xiaoer until she had no place to stay. She cried all day long and was in a terrible situation.
Now, with the flip of Zhao Donghe's lips, Lin Xiaoer has become his concubine. This change is really too fast, isn't it?
"Mr. Zhao, does my sister still live in the private room before?" Lin Yan'er relied on the man's support, deliberately pulled off her pretty face, and questioned Zhao Donghe on the spot.
"Haha, haha," Zhao Donghe laughed a few times, his mind was spinning, and he immediately came up with an idea, "That's just your sister's place to raise cats. My father's old habit has happened again, and my wife has gone back to her hometown to take care of her illness.
.These days, your sister has been living with me in the main courtyard."
Lin Yaner understood. Zhao Donghe was telling her that from now on, he would treat Lin Xiaoer as the royal wife and dote on her as much as possible.
"Then thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your love for my sister." Lin Yan'er got what she wanted, and the resentment in her heart disappeared a lot.
Yuzhu looked at Lin Yaner with a smile on his face, deliberately putting on a show. How should I put it, it is human nature for his woman to want to take care of her sister.
Moreover, without Yuzhu even opening his mouth, Lin Yan'er helped Lin Xiaoer gain a higher status. Where could she find such an affordable thing?
After dealing with the difficult Lin Yaner, Zhao Donghe turned to greet Yuzhu.
"Junior brother, I also brought this dividend in advance." The two daughters of the Lin family are not outsiders, and Zhao Donghe has nothing to be taboo about.
Yuzhu knew in his heart that the Lin family's so-called dry stock dividends were nothing more than protection fees.
On weekdays, the Lin family only gives out dividends and will never cause any trouble to Yuzhu.
When the Lin family encounters a big problem that cannot be solved, the head of the family, Lin Wu, will bring more money and ask Yuzhu for help.
In this cannibalistic society, no matter how rich the lowly merchants are, they are just fat pigs raised by the court. When the court has no money to spend, it is the time to kill the pigs. There is no reason whatsoever.
If a businessman is too rich, he will definitely have no sense of security. He must find a big official backer to support him.
When Lin Yan'er became Yu Zhu's maid, it is no exaggeration to say that Lin Wu was drunk at home for three days.
Now, if Lin Wu knew that Lin Yan'er had become the concubine of the Tong family, the most wealthy family in the Qing Dynasty, how overjoyed would he be?
To be honest, Yuzhu glanced at the small amount of money sent by the Lin family and considered it as if he had never seen the money.
The problem is, if Yuzhu doesn't collect the dividends from dry shares, God knows what Lin Wu will think about?
In this cannibalistic society, if a big backer refuses to accept the money sent by a big businessman, it is inevitable that you will feel uneasy.
What's more important is that when the Jinshi in Yuzhu becomes an official, his hands will be freed, and he will definitely arrange various serious trades.
Now, with Lin Yan'er's close relationship, the Lin family has ready-made white gloves.
The worst case scenario is to oust Lin Wu from the position of head of the family and replace Lin Yan'er's closest third brother with the position.
"Junior brother, senior brother, I have booked a high-quality banquet at Zhimei Building. Later, you and I, Yan'er and Xiao'er will have a drink and have fun together, how about it?"
Zhao Donghe is really a very thick-skinned guy.
Under the strict etiquette, there are many taboos even if you bring your wife to a banquet, let alone a concubine.
Concubine means buying and selling, slave or animal!
However, Zhao Donghe spoke seriously and confidently, and he treated his concubine as a distinguished guest.
Yuzhu smiled and said: "To be honest, senior brother, Wu Beile has invited me in advance, and coincidentally, he has also booked a table at Zhimei Building."
"Oh, that's a shame. Can we meet again someday?"
Zhao Donghe was also a serious Sanjia and Jinshi. He naturally knew that if he missed today, Yuzhu would be immersed in banquets for at least half a month.
The Shuntian Prefecture Yin held the Deer Ming Banquet on one day, the Thank You Banquet on three days, the Thank You Banquet on the second day, and the Thank You Teacher Banquet on two days. This is the eighth day.
As for the number of banquets for the same year and hometowns, it is impossible to calculate.
In addition, there is a banquet for classmates from Shuntianfu School, who are waiting in line for Yuzhu at the back.
Yuzhu's net worth was extremely rich, so he naturally didn't care about the small expenses of hosting banquets. Some new people who came from poor scholar backgrounds had to borrow money to host banquets.
Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for poor scholars to borrow too much money.
However, even if a serious civil servant is poor and poor, there are still big businessmen from his hometown who are willing to lend money without interest or even directly give money as a favor.
The reason is actually very simple. No matter which big businessman you are, if you want to live a stable life in your native county, you must find a civil servant as your backer. https://www./
Although the county magistrate, county magistrate or chief registrar are powerful, they are all exiled officials with a term of three years and will have to leave sooner or later.
If the Juren master had not passed the Jinshi examination, he would probably have stayed in the local area for the rest of his life and would have been able to support the wealthy businessmen of the county for a long time.
A major cancer in China's rural governance, the core of the local tyrants and evil gentry class, is the Juren Master.
Objectively speaking, there are very few people who do not do evil things. Just lending money for loan sharking will force many people to death.
While Zhao Donghe and Yuzhu were chatting away from each other, Lin Yaner also took her sister Lin Xiaoer and hid in a corner, whispering.
"Sister, is he treating you well?" Lin Yan'er looked at Lin Xiao'er with some worry.
Looking at Lin Yan'er, whose brows and eyes were filled with seductive colors, Lin Xiao'er, a person who has come before, could tell at a glance that her biological sister had just been moisturized by a man.
"Well, so what if it's good, so what if it's bad? Who told me that my life is miserable, but I'm not a girl from an official's family?" Lin Xiaoer was already disheartened and had no more extravagant hopes for Zhao Donghe.
When Zhao Donghe first got Lin Xiaoer, he really doted on her for a few months. Later, after a more beautiful concubine came in, Lin Xiaoer was forgotten about.
How could Lin Xiaoer live a good life after falling into the hands of the principal wife? She would either be beaten or scolded, and her food and clothing expenses would be the same as those of a slave. Life was extremely difficult.
Later, after Lin Yaner was transferred to Yuzhu, Lin Xiaoer suddenly went from hell to heaven again.
The contrast between before and after is really too great
Now, Lin Xiaoer has long seen through Zhao Donghe's face, and she has no expectations in her heart.
"Yan'er, how good is he to you?" Lin Xiao'er didn't want to mention those sad past events anymore, so she turned to ask Lin Yan'er about her current situation.
Lin Yan'er whispered: "To tell you the truth, sister, when I first entered this house, I was a lowly slave that no one cared about. Now, I have finally made it through. Hehe, except for a big girl
"Except, no one dares to make me angry anymore." Referring to Hanshuang.
Lin Xiaoer nodded frequently. Her life has been completely ruined. Naturally, she hopes that her sister will live a better life.
"Sister, in this rich family, the so-called favor is difficult to last. No matter how beautiful you are, you will always lose your beauty in old age. Hurry up and give birth to a son while a man likes you. That will be your whole life.
I rely on you." Lin Xiaoer spoke from experience and from the bottom of his heart.
Lin Yan'er took Lin Xiao'er's hand, nodded heavily and said: "Today, when our second master went out, the wet nurse beside my wife, Aunt Liu, had already given me a solid foundation. When our second master gets married,
When the first wife comes in and has my eldest son, I will be allowed to have children without any restrictions."
When Lin Xiaoer heard this, she completely let go of her worries.
If Lin Yan'er said that she would immediately find a chance to give birth to a eldest son, her life would probably be in danger.
In these days, any top wealthy family with rules would not allow a concubine to have a concubine's eldest son before the main wife gave birth to a legitimate son.
When the eldest son of a concubine is several years older than his legitimate son, he usually has to make housework. This is the root of internal strife in the family!
Lin Xiaoer knew very well that if Lin Yaner was not clear-headed and got pregnant secretly, once she was discovered, she would be given the red flower and Luozi soup.
According to Lin Xiaoer's knowledge, nine out of ten pregnant women who are force-fed Honghualuozi Decoction will die. Even if the remaining one has a successful abortion, her lower body will never be clean, so it is impossible
I'm pregnant again.
