Daily life of a co-wife

It’s not big news that the Gu family has adopted two sons.

It's just a family getting together and having a meal.

The wife of Marquis Anguo will be busy soon. This adopted son is different from the children of their Gu family. He does not need to observe mourning.

Well, Gu Zian is in the mourning period, but there are many mature things in the hot mourning period.

As for Gu Zishi, there is no one in his family to observe mourning and he is old enough, so his marriage can be arranged.

"Young Madam, our two cousins ​​are here today." That day, Su Qingmo received a message as soon as she got up.

When she was in the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, she would sleep until she woke up naturally.

The wife of Marquis Anguo did not ask her to pay her respects every day.

Probably because she got burned on her hand when she paid her respects for the first time, Lady Anguohou felt that Su had a conflict with her, so she only asked her to pay her respects on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month when there was nothing else to do.

"Cousin?" Su couldn't think of any cousin in the Gu family.

Well, she couldn't be blamed for this.

After marriage, many families will bring their daughter-in-law to her parents' home to get acquainted with her.

However, the situation of the Gu family was special. The wife of Marquis Anguo did not take Su back to her parents' home to recognize her as a relative, as she was both in mourning and was the wife of a successor.

"They are the two nieces from the madam's mother's family. One of them is the madam's biological niece, and the other is her cousin." Nanny Ding has already found out the news.

When mentioning these two, Su remembered the purpose of Lady Anguohou asking them to come over.

As expected, these two are the adopted son and daughter-in-law of Lady Anguohou.

"Does the young lady want to go and meet them?" Bai Zhi asked.

There were visitors at home, but Lady Anguohou did not send anyone to tell them.

The news will reach their ears only because they spread news quickly.

"It would be fine if I didn't know, but now that I know, I must meet him." Su Qingmo said.

The next step is to wash up.

Su Qingmo has her own small kitchen in Anguo Marquis Mansion.

Originally, Lady Anguohou did not agree with her setting up a small kitchen, but Su Qingmo said that she would pay for the expenses of the small kitchen.

Since she didn't have to pay for it herself and there was one less expense, Lady Anguo Hou agreed.

Over here, the wife of Marquis Anguo was chatting with her two nieces.

"You two should live in our Anguo Marquis Mansion during the days before your wedding, and then you can get married directly from the Anguo Marquis Mansion." The Anguo Marquis's wife suggested.

When someone from her mother's family came, her happy expression was visible to the naked eye.

Originally, she had already thought of taking her niece over.

But the Gu family is in mourning, and you would be embarrassed to invite them over at this time.

Now, the reason is legitimate.

"Then thank you very much, aunt." The two girls of the Luo family, Luo Jiayin and Luo Jiayi, said in unison.

"You all know the reason why I asked you to come here. I have two adopted sons.

I hope our Luo family can marry into their family.

You have also heard of these two candidates. What do you think?" asked the wife of Marquis Anguo.

The two little girls looked at each other, and one of them took a step back.

"Aunt will arrange it." Gu Jiayi said.

She is the cousin of the wife of Marquis Anguo. Even though her father is a sixth-rank military officer, she is just a concubine's daughter.

Otherwise, a marriage like this would not have fallen into her hands.

"Then my aunt arranged it. One of them is Gu Zian, who has already joined the Gu family army. As long as he has some ability, promotion in the future will be a piece of cake.

As for Gu Zishi, although he was not a soldier, he was a scholar.

If you are lucky, you have a chance of passing the imperial examination and becoming a scholar or a jinshi.

My idea is to let Jiayi marry Zi'an, and as for you, Jiayi, you should marry Zishi." Lady Anguohou said.

The reason why she made such arrangements was naturally because she liked Gu Zian more.

Gu Zian will have contact with Yun Ci's old subordinates in the future.

With the support of these people, his future path will be much easier.

As for Zishi, the candidate was proposed by Nanny An and confirmed by Gu Zigui.

This guy is not really to her liking.

Of her two adopted sons, in her eyes, Gu Zishi was just an errand boy.

It is not so easy to study and become an official. Some people remain just a student throughout their entire life.

If Gu Zishi was really capable, he wouldn't have remained a poor man while his younger brother passed the imperial examination.

"Let's follow our aunt's arrangements." The two little girls said again.

At this time, Luo Jiayin's face was full of surprise.

Before coming here, they had not yet decided on the candidate.

This matter was decided in a hurry, and her mother didn't have time to tell her more. She was also afraid that she would not be able to marry into a good family.

"The Gu family has to observe mourning, so we only have half a month to prepare for the wedding. If you two families have any dowries, please put them in the Anguo Marquis Mansion first.

Of course, if you want to marry out of your own family, that’s fine too.”

Other people have parents, and there are some disadvantages in marrying into someone else's family.

Although their status as Marquis of Anguo is higher, not everyone values ​​this.

"I married from the Anguo Marquis' Mansion." Luo Jiayin said.

How could the Luo family have any good dowry?

She was still hoping to get a little bit of money from her aunt when she got married.

"I will also marry from the Anguo Marquis' Mansion. As for the dowry, my father will send it over a few days in advance." Luo Jiayi also had arrangements on this side.

If she returned to the Luo family to get married, her stepmother would definitely not prepare a good dowry.

It’s different if you marry out of the Anguo Marquis’ Mansion. For the sake of face, your stepmother will definitely give the dowry.

Rather than being sent away with just two quilts, she would be willing to marry a poor scholar.

She heard that the Gu family bought a house in the city for Zishi.

She will live in the city in the future, which will make it convenient for her to visit the Anguo Marquis Mansion on a daily basis.

She didn't know what benefits she could get from the Anguo Marquis Mansion in the future.

But this is a marquis' mansion. Even if they leak a little bit of it, it will be enough for ordinary people like them to spend.

Although it's a pity that the person I married wasn't Gu Zian, but...

Gu Zishi is better than the ugly one that her stepmother arranged for her.

"When you two were at your mother's house, did you learn how to manage the household?" asked the wife of Marquis Anguo.

Although she had only been the mistress of Marquis Anguo for a few days, she had been in charge for a long time.

The two generals of the Gu family separated after they got married.

In her early years, she was not in the capital, but followed the general to guard the city.

They returned to Beijing only after they had more children and for the sake of their safety.

After the family split up, she has been in charge for more than twenty years.

"We'll have to trouble our aunt to teach us." Luo Jiayi said.

She is a concubine's daughter, how could her stepmother teach her how to manage the household?

Luo Jiayin did not answer, but her eyes were on the wife of Marquis Anguo.

"During this period of time, you should learn from me well. Being a housekeeper is not that difficult." said the wife of Marquis Anguo.

She was happy to teach because these two adopted sons and daughters-in-law would be useful to her in the future.

It's impossible for her to marry someone who will hold her back.

Both little girls had happy looks on their faces. As little girls, they both had a little yearning for the job of housekeeper.

They also hope to be in charge of the household immediately after getting married.
