When he was in Dengxian, Zhou personally guided his two daughters to make red embroidery with piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and women. Now in the Zhou family, in addition to these, they also have to learn dance and other musical instruments.

These are all necessary for noble women to learn. As for what they can learn, it depends on talent and acquired efforts.

Among all the children, Ji Wan is the oldest and should set an example. Therefore, even the female worker she dislikes the most must study hard and not be lazy. Ji Wan, who is suffering from this, has begun to tinker with new products again.

Sewing machine!

"Mom." Ji Wan occasionally had nothing to do, and would chat with her mother about the Zhou family's affairs. "In the past two days, Aunt Xu would pick up Sister Tong in person after school, and then chat with me on an excuse to ask about our family's affairs."

Xu is a typical weak beauty, with a graceful look, eyes as light as water, and a willow that supports the wind. No wonder he is so favored by the third master.

Zhou's smile faded, "I'll have someone come over to pick you up in advance in the future."

One time she went to Lin's house, Xu came up and chatted with her with a smile. After a few words, she turned around and left Lin's house wife aside, without any esteeming heights.

Seeing that he was displeased, Zhou left with an excuse.

Later, she stopped seeing Lin. She usually went to Cheng's place to talk about family matters. Several times when she came back, she heard from Kong's mother that Xu had been here. No matter what, Xu seemed to not understand Kong's mother's order to expel guests, and insisted on waiting in the main hall.

The longest time, I waited for an hour before leaving.

Mother Kong said that every time Xu came, his eyes kept looking around, touching this and that, and wishing he could take it back in his pocket. That petty style was just like a woman who had never seen the world in the countryside.

I don’t know why these three masters prefer such a woman.

Zhou is a daughter who is married outside. She is now living in the Zhou Mansion for a while and has no position to take care of the affairs of the internal affairs of the mansion. What's more, she is a very favored concubine. She doesn't want to provoke her, so she has to hide.

Unexpectedly, Xu took his mind to his daughter again.

If Zhou Changqing was at home, she could give him some words as an elder. However, Zhou Changqing was busy with official duties in the palace because of His Majesty's enthronement of the crown prince. Lin did not please her husband, and she would not be too lazy to ask about the well and waters with Xu on weekdays. As long as Xu did not make trouble, she would not bother with him.

Cheng even did not interfere with the internal affairs of the three rooms.

Zhou had no choice but to remind his daughter that he would take a detour when he saw Xu in the future.

Ji Wan doesn't care, she just thinks it's strange.

The Zhou family is a noble family member, and has always been rigorous in family tradition. Otherwise, they would not have dealt with their mother and her second aunt whom they had never met so resolutely. The grandfather also seemed to be a strict person, so why did he indulge his son to spoil a concubine so much?

For this reason, she went to inquire. Only then did she realize that Xu was a good concubine and was hired from outside. She also had an elder brother at home, who was a Jinshi of the same year as the third master, and was sent to the Qingzhou County Magistrate.

As for Xu's identity, he naturally rose with the flow of water.

Although the original wife Lin is also from a scholarly family and her father is a fourth-rank official, she herself is a concubine.

So the phenomenon of this wife and a concubine is very strange.

The Lin family is more prominent than the Xu family, but the wife is a concubine who is a concubine, but the legitimate wife is a legitimate wife. In this era when the legitimate wife is clearly distinguished, even if she is far higher than the Lin family than the mother's family, her origin is a hurdle that cannot be overcome.

In addition, after many years of family life, there was only one son under his knees. As a concubine, Lin gave birth to three children in a row.

Based on comprehensive comparison, Lin's wife seems a little weak.

Xu's limelight is becoming more and more apparent.

Unfortunately, she is an official. As long as her words and deeds are not too out of line, the old teacher and the old master are not good at dealing with her at will. Besides, men are not easy to deal with the affairs of the housekeeper, so they turn a blind eye.

However, after Lin gave birth to his youngest son, he became more and more arrogant. In the past, she had been respecting Lin's wife in public, but in the past two years she became less and less concerned about Lin. She always made excuses to shiver during the morning and evening. She either took care of the children, or was dizzy and chest tightness, etc.

She is the person who is the third master. Lin wants to deal with it but is afraid of it. After all, if the private affairs in the internal affairs are in front of the elders, she will be embarrassed. After a while, she will let her go.

Unexpectedly, Xu now felt that the scenery in the third room was not good enough, so he insisted on coming to attack Qiongyuan.

Zhou ignored his good temper. Ji Wan couldn't bear it after being disturbed many times. This woman was really greedy. Seeing that she couldn't speak out from her, she even asked her sister to teach Tong Jie that her children were popular and wanted to swear her sister over.

My sister is simple-minded, so where is Lin's opponent?

Ji Wan's eyes flashed with coldness, and she pulled her sister behind her calmly, "Scholars say that my sister's calligraphy is not good and she needs to practice. I will check it tomorrow. I may not have time to teach Sister Tong today. Please forgive me."

Xu holds his own identity, and her personal maid and mother call her wife privately.

I thought the Zhou family lived here, so I had to be a low-key person and be polite to me. Unexpectedly, the family didn't take her seriously at all. Zhou was avoiding her, and the two sisters Ji Wan even called her concubine directly and deliberately pointed out her identity as a concubine. She really didn't give her any face.

Xu's eyes flashed with displeasure, and then he smiled and said, "That's right. Sister Tong is not good at anything else, but she is good at calligraphy and even the old man has praised her. Let Sister Rong go to my place, and the two sisters learn from each other."

As he said that, he wanted to come over to Lajirong.

Ji Wan stood in front of him, "My sister Tong is good at official script, but Arong is used to wearing small calligraphy. She is afraid that she will not be able to learn the essence of Sister Tong in a short time, but she delayed Sister Tong's embroidery time. It was Arong's sin."

She looked up and saw Mother Kong who was walking towards her, with a smile on her face, "It's getting late, my mother is still waiting for our sisters to go back for dinner, so she'll say goodbye first."

After saying that, he held his sister's hand and walked directly past Xu without stopping.

Xu's face immediately became dark, "Damn girl, don't give her face. I really think that she is a famous lady after climbing to the Grand Tutor's Mansion? Humph, but the wild girl from the small household dares to shy her face? If you don't give you some color, I really don't know how powerful I am."

The old teacher and the third master are not at home, and Zhou Yan and Zhou Changru are also busy with official duties. How can they be mindful of the women in the house to compete with each other?

Xu was proud of her for so many years, but she was trampled on by an "outsider". This matter soon spread in the third room.

Lin just woke up from a nap and was sitting in front of the dressing table, Yu Nianzhen combed her hair. Her dowry, Madam Cao, stood by and told her about this.

"Aunt Xu has become more and more extraordinary recently." Madam Cao looked down on the Xu family's behavior very much, and her eyebrows were full of disgust, and then sighed, "I know for the second wife, I must come over to talk to her wife."

Xu's identity is there. If her brother is promoted to the office in the future, she will be even more naked. At that time, she will not ride directly onto the head of the wife? Alas, now she has almost ridden onto the third wife.

"Madam, you are the original wife's main wife. You should hit Aunt Xu's place, or... "

"How to knock?"

Lin looked at the cold face in the mirror and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Although I am the eldest daughter at home, I am a concubine. My younger brother is not good at it. Even now I haven't even passed the exam for a scholar, and my father is more and more disappointed with him. Every time I go back to my parents' home, my aunt will only sigh at me and ask me to help him... How can I help me, a woman from the inner house? Even the master is still in the Hanlin Academy, and my grandfather and father have not promoted him before His Majesty. What qualifications do I have to ask my grandfather and father to help my parents' illegitimate brother seek official positions?"

She took off the gem hairpin with an overly bright color on her head, and her expression became more and more cold. "If I hadn't given birth to the eldest son for the master first, if it weren't for the rigorous Zhou family style, I'm afraid the master wouldn't want to look at me more, and I would have to live with Xu's wink."

Lin took a deep breath and looked at the face in the mirror that was not inferior to Xu, with a deep sadness flashing through his eyes.

After many years of couples, how could she not know her husband’s preferences?

My mother often said that all men in the world are generally lustful. She is not bad at birth. As long as she lowers her figure and decorates her, she will definitely win her husband's favor.

But if she wants her to be as charming as Xu, and serve her with sex, wouldn’t she be worth it?

She is the first wife of the real wife, not a lowly toy toy that can please men by some inconvenient means.

Taking a deep breath, Lin suppressed all the emotions in her heart and said, "Besides, she did nothing wrong. The master ordered that the eldest aunt is a distinguished guest, and she should not be looked down upon during this period of time. Although she is a concubine, she is also a good concubine hired by the master. She is a family member in the mansion. She pleases the eldest aunt and her family. What's wrong with her? What reason do I have to beat her?"

Madam Cao shut up.
