As we all know, before Lin Wanshuang married Sheng Shao as a concubine, she was first a girl raised by Mrs. Sheng in the room, and When Lady Wang passed the door, she was once treated as a sister, and in any case, she could not imagine that such a delicate woman would pry her own corner and snatch her husband soon after.
At that time, Lin Wanshuang did not expect that she would commit herself to the concubine of Old Lady Sheng, and she wholeheartedly curried favor with Old Lady Sheng, only hoping that Old Lady Sheng would be able to pay a thick dowry when she got married, and marry her to the family of a rich and noble person who had no worries about food and clothing.
However, after Waiting for Lin Jiaoshuang and Zhen, Mrs. Sheng picked a lot of people to let her look at, but Lin Jiaoshuang did not have a satisfactory one, seeing that the family conditions of the men found by Mrs. Sheng were similar, and none of them were outstanding, Lin Wanshuang temporarily changed her mind and went to seduce Sheng Shao.
Everyone sees Lin Yanshuang's pretentious appearance, and may think that she is born to be the material for making concubines for people, but as Grandma Kong said, but If Lin Yanshuang can meet a satisfactory man, she will never commit herself to Sheng Xuan as a concubine.
And Lin Yanshuang would rather give up the opportunity to be a proper house, and even give Sheng Shao a concubine to stay in the Sheng family, is not it to enjoy the glory and wealth of Sheng Shao? You know, when Sheng Shao and Lin Qishuang were together, they were not even five petty officials, and it took more than twenty years to be promoted to Beijing, so it can be seen that Lin Shaoshuang's requirements at that time were not very high, and he certainly did not dare to think of a knighthood for Mo Lanxiao like this twenty years later.
So the question is: what kind of people did the old lady Sheng find for Lin Dishuang that year? It can force her to prefer to be a concubine for Sheng Xuan than a proper lady.
In the original work, Mo Lan also asked Lin Yanshuang this question, and she was proud and arrogant because of her status as a maid, and she was dumbfounded, and she had long complained about her birth mother's choice of willingly degenerating, but Lin Yanshuang did not have the meaning of half a regret, but also told Mo Lan a story:
It turned out that Lin Wanshuang's distant cousin had a precedent of not being able to die well after marrying a poor child, at that time, the Lin family had not yet fallen, Lin Huangshuang's cousin was married with a dowry, but even if she gave birth to a concubine, the husband still looked at her unfavorably, often beat and scolded, like Sun Zhigao, using his wife's dowry to take a concubine, and finally conniving at the concubine to die of the original match.
The reason why Lin Yanshuang would use this case to explain to Mo Lan is because the people that Mrs. Sheng told her that year, without exception, are all "cultivating and reading people's homes", although Lin Huangshuang knows that she is the daughter of a sinner, Gao Climb is not too good, but she always feels that as long as the old lady is coaxed, the other party will spend a lot of money to help her find a rich family, did not expect that Mrs. Sheng was let down by Mrs. Sheng, still believe in the so-called love, thinking that only such a reader can keep love.
Or Aunt Kong was right, but If Fan Lin Hadeshuang could have a slightly richer family condition, she would not be stupid enough to be a concubine, and when Sheng Xuan said that she was optimistic about Wen Yanjing and Mo Lan as a match, Lin Yanshuang, in addition to asking about the family background, also asked the other party whether there were any trading shops in the family, until Sheng Xuan said that the Wen family only had a few acres of thin fields, Lin Yanshuang completely broke out.
It can be seen from this that Lin Yanshuang actually does not have to marry any high-ranking household, and she is also willing to go to the family of a rich and wealthy family, but the people found by the old lady of The Partial Sheng are all Wen Yanjing, not to mention Mo Lan, that is, going backwards for twenty years to let Lin Yanshuang choose, she will not marry.
As mentioned earlier, when Lin Xianshuang made a concubine for Sheng Shao, Sheng Shao's official position was not high, and the reason why she wanted to stay in the Sheng family was only because she had been raised too well by Mrs. Sheng over the years, and she could not live without pampering.
Coupled with the fact that Mrs. Sheng was stubbornly poor in her daily life, Lin Chuangshuang mistakenly thought that she had spent all her dowry to cultivate a son like Sheng Shao, and the ancestral property of the Sheng family, Mrs. Sheng also gave back as early as when Sheng Xuan married his wife, Lin Tuoshuang decided to change someone to please, as long as she could keep the current standard of living.
As for the idea that Lin Yanshuang later taught Mo Lan to be higher than the sky, and bent on stepping on Hua Lan Rulan compared with his concubine, it was completely the idea of being spoiled by Sheng Shao, since they all gave up the opportunity to be the main room, of course, they had to fight for the greatest benefit for themselves.
