Chapter 7: Attitudes of Nima’s Wives
Translator: Jacquelin
In China, from the emperor to civilians, all people believed that you would nourish the corresponding body part by what you eat.
The next morning, Ci walked out of Nima’s bedroom. In a short while, all the people in Nima Mansion knew that Nima allowed Ci to sleep in his bedroom. It was unprecedented.
If a sleeping woman looked so pure and naive that others couldn’t bear to wake her up, she would be regarded as a lucky woman. For women, having a good posture in sleep was very important because it would bring luck to them.
After washing her face and rinsing her mouth, Ci went to the main hall. The maid Yan took Ji Jing’s arm and helped her walk into the main hall. Ji Jing was the last to arrive. Juxian didn’t seem to sleep well last night because she looked wan and tired, her eyelids swollen. Yang Zhen sat in a chair, carefree and relaxed.
Ci quietly stood nearby and dared not take a seat.
According to the rules set by Juxian, maids should wait for the master and hostesses to finish eating before they were allowed to eat the leftovers.
“Ci, come and sit here,” Nima ordered.
Ci obediently sat down. Juxian threw her chopsticks on the table, her face livid with anger, and said, “Master, she’s just a maid. If you allow her to eat with us, how can I manage the servants in the future?”
Ji Jing who was a weathercock, immediately echoed, “What Madam said is quite right. She is just a maid. Master, although you have slept with her, she is still not eligible to eat with us.”
Nima said impatiently, “Alas, you guys upset me. Er, I will take her as my fourth wife this afternoon. Now she has the right to eat with us.”
Ci knelt down and kowtowed to him. “Thank you, Master.”
Then she glanced at Juxian and felt a little scared.
Yang Zhen said, “Please get up. From now on we are sisters.”
Despite being displeased, Ji Jing kept her temper under control. “Master, you are always tired of the old and fascinated by the new.”
In reality, all men would be fond of the new lovers and tired of the old ones.
To be more exact, all human beings would abandon the old for the new.
