Chapter 2633 - 2633 Zheng family’s gossip2633 Zheng family’s gossip
The Zheng family of the Marquis of Yong ‘an was a title given to them when the great Zhou Dynasty was established. The current Marquis was also Zheng Qiu’s father, and he was the fourth generation.
At that time, the title was given to the fifth generation. In other words, after Marquis Zheng’s son inherited the title, if the Zheng family did not receive another title, their title would be gone.
Ever since Zheng Qiu’s grandfather, the old Marquis, his family had been on the verge of decline. It could be said that he was neither good at literature nor martial arts. The old Marquis had four sons and one daughter, one of whom was a legitimate son and one of whom was a legitimate daughter. The other three were illegitimate sons. Zheng Qiu’s father, Marquis Zheng, was the eldest son of the legal wife, so it was only natural for him to inherit the title of nobility. Zheng Qiu’s aunt, who shared the same mother as Marquis Zheng, had already married King Qi and was now the Queen of Qi. She was leading a good life.

However, she did not manage the inner residence and basically ate vegetarian and prayed in the small temple Hall. Only when the Qi Princess Consort returned to her Maiden Home every year would she come out to meet her children and grandchildren.
The residence of the Marquis of Yong ‘an was not separated, which meant that Marquis Zheng’s three Shu brothers still lived in the Marquis’s residence.
Like the old Marquis, the four brothers were lustful, so they had many wives and concubines in the back residence.
Marquis Zheng only had five children. Other than Zheng Qiu and his two siblings, he had a son and a daughter from his second wife.
However, Marquis Zheng’s three Shu brothers had a lot of children. Because they were not separated from the family, once the population increased, the residence of the Marquis of Yong ‘an was almost uninhabitable.
The gossip that Gu si wanted to tell Gu Xin was about the third family of the concubine.
Gu Xin was very interested in this.
Zheng Qiu rarely brought up family matters to Gu Xin. As she respected Zheng Qiu’s decision, Gu Xin only managed Zheng Qiu’s older and younger brothers. She had no time to care about the rest of the people in the Marquis of Yong ‘an’s residence, so she did not know about it.
However, Gu si had other friends now. How could she not listen to the gossip?
All the gossip she knew was from the other girls.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere were three concubines in the residence of the Marquis of Yong ‘an. The first branch only had one son and the rest were all daughters. There were more than twenty of them in total. If Zheng Qiu was included in the ranking, the youngest daughter of the Zheng family would be ranked as the twenty-ninth mother of Zheng.
Apart from Zheng Wei, there were four other sisters who were married. There were fifteen of them who were between the ages of thirteen and sixteen.
Just hearing Gu si mention such a huge amount of money, Gu Xin was a little shocked. There were so many people, why didn’t they split up?
Gu Xin voiced out her doubts.
Gu si said, ” when the parents are around, they don’t move out. Every time Xiao Qiu’s stepmother asks to move out, the third branch will work together to talk about this. Xiao Qiu’s stepmother was in charge of the harem. There were so many people, and their family’s income could barely support their expenses. She was very annoyed! Every time she proposed to move out, the other three households were not willing, and the old lady did not interfere, so this matter was put aside, right?”
Gu Xin was speechless.
Xiao Qiu’s stepmother was pretty good at managing the household!
Gu si continued,’actually, she’s also feeling a little inferior. She was promoted by a concubine, and the other three Furens did not like her and would sometimes even mock her. But she had no other choice! Marquis Zheng wanted to go out for a drink, wanted a red sleeve to add to his fragrance, and she had many things to worry about! As a matter of fact, she had gone to Thailand with Marquis Zheng in may, and the Zheng family’s inner residence was in a mess. Xiao Qiu’s three aunties and a few cousins were the ones who were in trouble. Of course, these things didn’t spread out. Otherwise, third sister would also know.”
