MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 408 Xiao's Rong Niang

Ignoring the mutual compliments between Liu Ji and Mr. Ding, Qin Yao turned her head to look at Ding Xiang, who was so shocked that she couldn’t open her mouth from ear to ear, and asked in a low voice:

 “Mr. Ding has brought your brothers and sisters into the marriage?”

 “Huh?” Ding Xiang was stunned for a moment.

Qin Yao coughed twice to cover up her embarrassment, and asked again: "Is your father getting married?"

This time, Ding Xiang understood. She explained carefully that her father was not married into the mother-in-law.

  But getting married is real.

 “Do you know why I came to your house?” Ding Xiang asked in a low voice.

Qin Yao already had speculations in her mind after knowing that Mr. Ding had remarried a second wife.

 “Aren’t you ready to come back?”

Ding Xiang nodded, her mood obviously lowered. She was actually a little scared and confused.

 So before leaving, you must come and see Qin Yao.

She doesn't care about her father and brother's intentions. She just wants to see Qin Yao and ask her: "What should I do? Can you teach me?"

 After the New Year, Ding Xiangxu was fourteen years old.

 This is an age where marriage can be discussed, and some have already made arrangements.

 One thing was very clear to Ding Xiang. After her father told her and her brother that he had married a concubine who was a widower in prison, her marriage was about to become a bargaining chip for her father to stabilize his position in the capital.

 Fortunately, she is not a pessimistic person and will not accept her fate easily.

However, there is really not much she can do. At most, she can choose the conditions that are most acceptable to her within a limited range.

Another thing that makes Ding Xiang happy is that after her father came back, not only did he no longer stop her from practicing riding and shooting, but he also encouraged her to go out and walk more.

 Father said that the more distinguished the ladies of Kyoto are, the more they have to show themselves to the public.

 On Chang'an Street, the busiest street in Kyoto, the patrol guards are all female soldiers.

Those female soldiers, who held the most powerful positions, were all women from the most noble families in the Sheng Kingdom. They stopped and teased the newly crowned Tan Hua Lang who passed by in the street.

Mr. Ding, who had just arrived in Kyoto, almost saw his eyes falling out.

The ladies of this prosperous country are so unrestrained and hot!

 However, the strange thing is that it is difficult to see such a flamboyant woman outside Kyoto.

Going to a corner like Kaiyang County, it is hard to see not only flamboyant noble ladies, but also romantic young men.

This prosperous country is like a pyramid. Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, the higher you go, the more noble you become.

 That’s power!

 It is the power conferred by the Queen and Her Majesty.

 No wonder everyone wants to climb up. The scenery at the top is indeed eye-catching with its prosperity and wealth.

But if you think about it carefully, the power structure is still very different from the previous dynasty.

  In the past, the status of women from aristocratic families was indeed more noble than ordinary people, but they were never so noble that they could hold military power or even tease Tanhua Lang in the street.

 This new dynasty, in the eyes of Mr. Ding, is very deviant.

But precisely because of his deviance, he was able to meet women from aristocratic families on the street who had never left the house before.

 Thus, the bride can be welcomed into the house and appointed as the supervisor of the mutual market.

His bride, although she is only a concubine, has her surname Xiao.

　　 is Xiao, one of the five major surnames in Beijing.

Even if he is a collateral lineage, if it were not for destiny, he would not be able to reach the level of this Xiao family's widowed concubine. What's more, he has a son and a daughter. He is in his thirties and his appearance is not outstanding.

Rong Niang got married at the age of seventeen and lost her husband at the age of nineteen. After observing mourning for her husband for three months, her aunt returned her home.

 Everyone said that her life was precious, and her husband's family was too poor to enjoy her blessings, so he died young.

And because she gave birth to a son, he was fertile, with outstanding appearance and kind character. After returning home, he tried his best to help his mistress take care of the manor. Her mistress also loved her very much and prepared a lot of dowry for her.

There were countless men in the capital who wanted to marry Rong Niang, but it was a pity that she didn't like them, so she lived in Zhuangzi as a widow for many years.

　Now that I am twenty-three years old, the matchmakers have almost broken down the door of the mutual market.

Mr. Ding just went to join in the fun and kindly helped maintain order. Suddenly he was taken aback by Xiao Rong, who came to the house to present melons and fruits from the farm.

At that time, Mr. Ding had no official position and was temporarily living in the home of his cousin. Among the rich and powerful men from aristocratic families in the city, he could not be said to be inconspicuous, but he could only be said to be very poor and outstanding.

In the capital, the meager output of his Ding family village is not enough for a noble prince to give a reward to the singer.

 This marriage was not approved by the market supervisor at the beginning, unless it was a marriage.

 Fortunately, Mr. Ding, his cousin, was quite capable and provided money and effort to help pave the way for him.

First, he bought a house in the capital, and then spent a lot of money to hire the most powerful official media in the capital. Finally, coupled with Xiao Rong's persistence and Master Ding's sincerity to greet his future mother-in-law three times a day, serve tea and sweep the floor, and serve his future mother-in-law and father-in-law, he finally won the beauty. Return.

On that day, all the men in the capital who could not get married were saying: "Promotion, fortune, and the death of your wife. The three treasures are combined into one, which is invincible luck!"

Mr. Ding: I’m sweating profusely.

However, people may not believe it when I say it. He and Rong Niang are interested in having a concubine. This is a match made in heaven.

This time he would not return to his hometown so quickly. It was Rong Niang's urging that made him come back early.

She said: "Now that you and I are husband and wife, then your children are also my children. If they respect me, I will naturally plan a good future for them. When the children have their own families, you and I will have fun together." Sun, enjoy your family."

Mr. Ding told these words to Ding Shi and Ding Xiang one by one, to reassure them that their stepmother was definitely a good person and would treat them well. He also asked them to respect their stepmother and not to act like children.

Liu Ji and Mr. Ding were politely talking to each other when they were on the throne. Mr. Ding asked Gong Liangliao about his connections in the court, but Liu Ji didn't understand and laughed.

Ding Xiang and Qin Yao have already finished talking about everything they can about Mr. Ding in private.

Ding Xiang whispered worriedly: "My stepmother is eager to marry me off, and my father is just listening to her. I'm afraid that I will be betrayed as soon as I arrive in the capital."

Qin Yao hissed, "Is it possible that there is something wrong with your father's interpretation and that your stepmother is not in a hurry to throw you and your brother out?"

Ding Xiang was stunned, obviously not believing it.

Among the women Qin Yao has met, the only ones who fit the status of a noble woman are Aunt Qi and He Zhanghua.

　Judging from their behavior, nobles attach great importance to face.

It would be a bit ugly if Mr. Ding had just brought his children to the capital and Xiao Rong was in a hurry to marry off his stepdaughter and let his stepson get married and move out.

 So, her words should be taken literally, rather than implying that Mr. Ding should quickly get his children married and leave the family so that they can live a life of two as a couple.

Be prepared for the worst. If it is really so urgent, then the matter is a foregone conclusion. All Ding Xiang can do is pray that his stepmother and biological father will not have a child so soon.

Thinking of this, Qin Yao couldn't help but look at Mr. Ding a few more times. He was in high spirits during happy events, with a rosy complexion and full of vitality.

Ding Xiang asked curiously: "Qin Yao, what are you looking at?"

Qin Yao waved her hand, signaling Ding Xiang to come over and teach her the secrets of two moves.
