The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 273 I'm Drunk

Tang Zhan's face suddenly turned red, and he pretended to be drunk, acting like he was slightly tipsy. He continued to drink with the Shi brothers, and toasted the old Duke, the Zhenguo Duke, and the third master Shi Jian'an.

With her second sister-in-law Le An Ning and her elder sister, the apple of her eye, as role models, Shi Yao had no idea that one day she would be able to charm others with her beauty.

The lady was not feeling well. After drinking half a glass of wine and eating a few dishes, she felt weak and went back home leaning on the hand of a maid.

Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Rong and their grandchildren sat at the same table.

Shi Yao sat at the same table with her sisters-in-law.

After Shi Yao and Tang Zhan exchanged a glance, they turned back and continued to gossip with their sisters-in-law about the origins of this "Lord Tang".

Le An Ning whispered, "He looks to be in his twenties, and has achieved the fifth rank. He is indeed young and promising."

Shi Yao nodded and said, yes, that’s right, the Third Master was promoted to a fourth-rank official at the age of forty.

Fu Nanjun often received letters from Shi Mingwu - although she never replied, so she knew more.

"He hasn't even reached adulthood yet, but he's a little more mature than before. After all, he grew up on the frontier and has fought in a few small-scale battles. Otherwise, as the son of a general, it would be difficult for him to be promoted without military merit. Even if he was promoted, it would be difficult for him to convince the public."

Shi Yao said pertinently: "If he didn't have real ability, how could Second Uncle trust him to escort Second Aunt back to Beijing?"

Le An Ning gave a thumbs up, her eyes sparkling: "When it comes to hitting the nail on the head, it has to be my second sister!"

Shi Yao coughed lightly.

Since the second sister-in-law was reborn, it seems like she has changed her brain. No matter what the occasion, she will praise her twice and never just once.

She was so praised that she was embarrassed to speak.

"Second sister-in-law, you are too kind. I just thought of this."

The women continued to discuss Tang Zhan, and General Tang Jing and his wife.

Sixth sister-in-law Wang Fan used to flatter the old lady. She had met Madam Tang the most times and was second only to Fu Nanjun in terms of information. She said:

"Let me tell you an interesting story. General Tang was born a big man. He ate a lot and his family couldn't afford to support him. So when he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, his family lied about his age and sent him to the military camp to eat for free.

At that time, the border was often harassed by foreign races. Our old grandfather trained troops at the border and never treated his subordinates harshly. General Tang was full and had great strength. In order to avoid being sent home to starve, he became extremely fierce.

The old master took him with him and taught him. When he was sixteen or seventeen years old, he was already a thousand households. When he returned to Beijing and met Madam Tang, he was shocked by her beauty and excitedly went to her house to propose marriage. However, Madam Tang despised him for being a rough and uncouth man, beat him out with a broom, and said that Madam Tang had already promised to marry him.

General Tang was still determined to do something evil. He found out who Mrs. Tang's fiancé was and beat him up while they were having a party. The news became a hot topic at the time.

Just like this, Mrs. Tang broke off the engagement with that man and was forced to marry General Tang.

I heard that because this marriage was forced upon him, General Tang is still henpecked and never dares to have affairs with other women. If there is any disturbance, General Tang will have to kneel on the washboard at night!"

The women pricked up their ears, listened carefully, and then burst into laughter.

Shi Yao shook her head. General Tang and his wife could be considered a pair of bickering lovers. The Tang family was quite interesting.

Fu Nanjun was eager to inquire about the recent situation of his eldest son Lingyun. He glanced at Tang Zhan several times, hoping to find an opportunity to talk to him, but he inadvertently noticed that Tang Zhan was always looking towards the women's seat intentionally or unintentionally.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she slowly looked at Shi Yao.

Shi Yao touched her face and said, "Sister-in-law, why are you looking at me? Your eyes are so scary. Did I say anything wrong?"

Afraid that Le An Ning would brag without thinking, she didn't dare to say anything in response the whole night.

Fu Nanjun smiled slightly and said, "Nothing. What do you think of the third son of the Jiang family?"

Shi Yao said angrily, "Why did you suddenly ask about him, sister-in-law? I have only met him twice, so there is no such thing as indifference. However, my cousin from the Jiang family is gentle, considerate and attentive. He always takes care of me when I go out. I treat him as my own brother."

Fu Nanjun showed an indescribable expression: "My dear brother?"

The sisters-in-law looked at Shi Yao as if she were a monster.

Doesn't she know that the husband is the one the old lady has chosen specifically for her?

No matter how you look at it, this marriage with the Jiang family is the perfect match.

The family status is lower than that of the Duke of Zhenguo, so the mother-in-law dare not set rules for her. The husband is clean and has a bright future, so the sisters-in-law dare not bully her, and he can protect Shi Yao.

Shi Yao smiled and said, "Yes, after meeting my cousin from the Jiang family, it was the first time for me to experience what it was like to have a biological brother."

Sisters-in-law: “…”

How to answer this?

He’s your real brother!

Shi Yao felt uncomfortable all over. She ate her food nonchalantly under the light of several 200-watt light bulbs.

Fourth sister-in-law Gong Xuan snorted coldly and muttered, "You were so picky, you picked the worst one after careful consideration."

No one paid any attention to her.

Fu Nanjun smiled and said, "The prince said in the letter that this 'Little Tang Lord' is still unmarried."

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Shi Yao.

Shi Yao paused holding the chopsticks, slowly swallowed a piece of pickled duck breast, raised her eyes and asked with a smile: "Why are you looking at me, sisters-in-law?"

Le An Ning patted her shoulder and said with complicated eyes: "Yaoyao, if you need us sisters-in-law, just ask. We sisters-in-law will do our best to help you."

Everyone was united in their hatred of the enemy, and Gong Xuan interrupted again, saying, "Even Master Xiao Tang despises you, so are you going to marry the prince? It's a pity that you are a concubine's daughter, and your legitimate sister is a concubine of the prince. Who would dare to marry you as his principal wife?"

Le An Ning glared at him: "Old Fourth, if you don't speak, no one will think you're dumb! You'd better shut up!"

Gong Xuan was desperate: "I'm not dumb, I can say whatever I want to say, if you have the guts, try to make me mute."

Le Anning choked for a rare moment.

But after the sisters-in-law thought about it carefully, they felt that Gong Xuan's words were reasonable.

Le An Ning did not continue to argue with Gong Xuan, but bumped into Shi Yao's shoulder and said, "Hey, Yaoyao, if it's literary, you should consider Jiang San, if it's martial arts, why don't you consider Master Xiao Tang?

The second house has spent a lot of money this time, and the person they chose for you is quite impressive, making it hard to refuse.

General Tang Jing is not an ordinary man. He has fought in the battlefield with the old master and the Duke, and has made outstanding military achievements. He even has some respect in front of the emperor. "

Fu Nanjun whispered, "I'm afraid our Duke's Mansion will have to keep a low profile in the next few years. The Second House may be planning to promote the Tang family. Yaoyao, please think carefully about this."

Shi Yao rubbed her forehead.

In the time it took to finish a meal, she went on another blind date.

I haven’t rejected my last blind date yet.

She glanced at Tang Zhan and accidentally caught his furtive gaze. Tang Zhan quickly turned his head, raised his head and drank a glass of wine, his face as red as a monkey's butt.

Shi Yao: “…”

What is this thing called?

It seems that the sisters-in-law's guess was correct. Tang Zhan must be hiding something, otherwise why would he be blushing?

Le An Ning gently bumped Shi Yao's shoulders twice: "Yaoyao, what's wrong with you? Why don't you speak?"

Shi Yao forced a smile: "Haha, I'm drunk."

Le Anning: "Didn't you drink alcohol? Why are you drunk?"
