Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down
Chapter 17 5 Fu Jin
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the day of the selection. The princes who have reached the age will choose their wives, and Kangxi will also choose a few concubines to fill the harem. Because Defei said that no one would enter the Fourth Prince's mansion this time, Yi Ya did not pay much attention to the results of the selection.
Among all the princes now, only the Fifth Prince is of the right age. Since he has been raised by the Empress Dowager since childhood, she is particularly concerned about this selection.
The Queen Mother knew that the Fifth Prince had been raised by her since childhood, and that she herself was born in a Mongolian tribe, so Kangxi would not allow the Fifth Prince to have a wife with an outstanding family background. Therefore, the Queen Mother did not attach much importance to the concubine, and only hoped to pick a wife who was suitable for the Fifth Prince and whom the Fifth Prince liked.
During the selection period, the queen mother, Concubine Tong, and the four concubines Hui, Yi, De, and Rong were summoned in the order of Manchu and Mongolian first and Han later. The selected girls all lived in the Chuxiu Palace and were not allowed to go out without being summoned.
Later, Yi Ya heard Concubine De say in Yonghe Palace that the Fifth Prince's wife was finally chosen to be Tatara, the daughter of Zhang Baozhu, a member of the Imperial Court.
Yi Ya thought back to her previous life. Because Tara's family background was not outstanding, Kangxi later assigned two concubines of outstanding status to the Fifth Prince. As a result, Tara had not given birth to a legitimate son, but several illegitimate sons were born in the backyard, and life was very difficult. Yi Ya could not help but worry about this sister-in-law who had not yet married into the family.
When Yi Ya learned that the Fifth Prince was about to get married, she immediately returned home and informed Yinzhen.
In the main courtyard, "Master, today I went to the palace to pay my respects to my mother and learned that my fifth brother is getting married. I wonder what gift is appropriate on the wedding day?"
"I thought that giving other gifts would be too ordinary, so why not replace all the windows in Fifth Brother's mansion with glass ones! Today, the Emperor has already given Fifth Brother his mansion."
Since the glass windows in the front yard study were replaced, Yinzhen has truly felt the benefits of these glass windows. During the day, the windows are bright and transparent, which makes it very convenient for him to handle his affairs, even on rainy days. At night, he only needs to light a few candles to illuminate the whole room, which makes it very convenient for him to read.
"This is good. Not only can we give our fifth brother and his family a novel gift, but we can also let Gangduo know about our glass shop." Yi Ya said happily.
"Now the glass shop's business is on track. If someone needs it, we should be able to supply it." Yinzhen was very happy when he thought about the profit of the glass shop in the past few months. He didn't expect that the profit of a glass shop would be so considerable.
"My third brother also left me a lot of glass jewelry. I thought I should give a few to my fifth brother's wife!" Yi Ya thought that if the ladies attending the wedding saw them, they would be eager to have them.
"Yes, the workers left behind by Fucun are now very skilled in making glass. They are also researching some small things, which I think are not that difficult." Yinzhen replied.
The couple fell asleep while talking.
As the wedding was approaching, the glass windows of the Fifth Prince's residence were gradually installed. When the sunlight shone into the room through the crystal clear glass, the entire residence was rejuvenated with new vitality and vigor. The servants in the residence were busy decorating the new room, while the people outside the residence stopped to watch and discuss this novel thing.
The appearance of glass windows caused quite a stir in the palace. Many nobles followed suit and began to replace their windows with glass windows. For a while, the glass in Yinzhen's glass shop was in short supply. Many people could not order glass and ran to Kangxi and Defei to try to get it through the back door.
……
In Yonghe Palace, Concubine Yi said to Concubine De, "Sister Concubine De, this room is really bright, and the glass windows are so beautiful that I can't take my eyes away."
"Sister, you're joking. Your palace is magnificent and gorgeous. Who wouldn't like it?" Defei said tactfully.
"No matter how luxurious it is, it's not as good as yours. My room becomes dark when it rains. It's better than yours. Even on rainy days, it's bright." Concubine Yi said, and then said, "I came here today to ask you to do me a favor. Can you ask the Fourth Prince to install glass in the Yikun Palace for me?"
"Well...Okay then! I'll try to help you. After all, his small shop is too busy to handle it now." Concubine De could only delay for now. After all, Concubine Yi was not the first person to come to see her.
After Yinzhen installed glass windows for Kangxi, he also installed glass windows in the palaces of the Empress Dowager and Concubine De at Yi Ya's suggestion.
Since the glass window was installed, people came to Defei's palace every day, curious to see what the glass window looked like. It would have been fine if they hadn't seen it, but once they saw it, they liked it. Then they all wanted to install it in their own palaces, but they couldn't tell Yinzhen about it, so they all came to Defei.
……
The wedding day gradually arrived. The Fifth Prince's mansion was shining brightly, attracting the attention of many guests. When the bride stepped into the new house, she was deeply shocked by the scene in front of her. The sunlight shone through the glass windows into the house, making the whole room bright and warm. She felt the good intentions of Yinzhen and Yiya, and was full of expectations for her future life.
Thinking back to when she was still at home, Yi Ya had someone send her a pair of jewelry made of glass. She was very happy, and that was the pair she wore when she got married today.
In the bridal chamber, a group of wives were accompanying Hetala. After the ceremony, Yinqi went to the front yard to entertain everyone. So now there were only a group of wives and Hetala in the main yard.
"Thank you, Fourth Sister-in-law. The glass jewelry is so beautiful." Hetala expressed her gratitude to Yiya.
At this time, Yi Ya realized that Tara was wearing the glass jewelry she had given him today. She smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
At this time, the Third Lady beside her also saw it, and hurriedly said to Yi Ya: "I was wondering why Fifth Sister-in-law looked so beautiful today? It turns out that she was wearing the glass jewelry you gave her!"
Hetala said embarrassedly: "No, the third sister-in-law is the most beautiful."
Dong E said to Yi Ya again, "Fourth sister-in-law is too partial. She only knew to give such beautiful jewelry to fifth sister-in-law, and didn't think about us."
"Third sister-in-law, you are joking. How can there be no share for you? It is already being made. Although it is not difficult, it still takes some time to make it small and exquisite. Fifth brother's wife is in a hurry to get married, so I gave her share in advance. Don't worry, when it is done in a few days, I will deliver it to you personally." Yi Ya replied.
"Then I'll wait for my fourth brother's wife's things." Dong E said happily.
The Crown Princess Shi and the First Lady also said "thank you" to Yi Ya.
"You're welcome, sister-in-law and second sister-in-law. I originally wanted to give it to you, but I just happened to tell you today." Yi Ya smiled back.
Afterwards, several people stayed with Tara and chatted for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.
