Yuanchun of the Red Chamber is not a virtuous concubine

Mrs. Xing was quite puzzled, "I know that my mother has annoyed me, but I can't make fun of such a big matter. My mother knows that I have a low background and some things are not good. Just say it, my wife will definitely change it. Such a glorious thing, other families have it, but our Jia family doesn't have it, wouldn't it make people laugh."

Yuan Chun also said seriously, "I am not joking, and even though I have been married for a few years, compared with those concubines, I can still see my family members often. I also think that there is no need to visit my relatives, and the relatives need to meet the requirements. A standard garden takes time and effort, and there is no need to spend that money."

"But my wife heard that this is the grace of the Supreme Emperor. If the empress does not know her relatives, she will offend the Supreme Emperor. How can the Supreme Emperor punish her?"

Yuan Chunyu said earnestly, "Although this is the case, since this palace is in the position of imperial concubine, it is doomed that the Supreme Emperor will not like this palace, and there are four princes in this palace. Instead of going out to visit relatives and attract attention in a high-profile manner, it is better to keep a low profile Do things, wait for the princes to grow up, and with the support of four princes, will the Jia family still benefit from it?"

Although Mrs. Xing also felt that what the imperial concubine said was very reasonable, but this time the master let her into the palace in order to let her persuade the empress to go back to visit her relatives, not to let her come here to be persuaded.

Seeing Mrs. Xing's dilemma, Yuan Chun also knew that Jia She probably ran into other women who wanted to go back to visit their relatives when he went out. This was stimulated and made him compare, so Yuan Chun could only say, "Let's even consider visiting relatives." , is also going back to her own home, and Madam also knows that since the separation of the family, the family has limited wealth, and the third younger sister, second younger brother, and third younger brother have not yet married, so the dowry and dowry for the marriage will cost a lot of money, and There is no ready-made garden at home. Even if we start to build it now, the time is very tight, and it is only less than two months. I think I will go there for a day, and there is no purpose after that, but I can’t go. Wouldn't it cost extra money to repair it if it was empty, and it belongs to the royal garden, and mother and the others are not easy to enter, so why waste the money for nothing."

Mrs. Xing smiled shyly, "I know that my mother loves money, as long as my mother can save relatives, other people in the family will contribute some money, and my mother, don't worry about not having enough money to repair the garden. When the time comes, it's not impossible Well, the master just misses his wife, there is no other meaning."

Seeing that Mrs. Xing was not too happy, Yuan Chun remembered that Mrs. Xing was a very wealthy person. Taking money from the house would hurt like cutting her flesh. I also find it funny.

I didn't want to say anything more about this issue, so I just changed the subject and said, "Speaking of which, Baoyu hasn't congratulated her since she became a Jinshi. Mother doesn't know what she's busy with at home, and she hasn't come to the palace for several months. Please be safe, now that I know that Baoyu has entered the Imperial Academy, although I have heard that there are many scholars in the Imperial Academy, I have not been able to see it in person, and I don’t know how Baoyu has adapted after such a long time.”

Yuanchun sent the fourth prince to see Baoyu. Baoyu is older than the fourth prince. Now that he has entered the Imperial Academy at a young age, he is naturally excluded. After all, Baoyu is considered a young talent. The problem is that the emperor will not reuse Baoyu, and Baoyu will have to stay in the Imperial Academy for five or six years, but everyone knows that Baoyu has a sister who is an imperial concubine. Envious.

Yuan Chun knew what kind of temperament Baoyu was, and he was also afraid that Baoyu would be hit. Although the fourth prince has not yet entered the court, he is a serious prince. Now that Baoyu not only has the imperial concubine as his backer, but even the fourth prince also attaches great importance to it, he is not at ease. Although Baoyu is quite naive in other things, even if he was a companion to the 21st prince, because of his family background, the 21st prince is a quiet and low-key person, but he has not seen many people in the palace. The conspiracies and tricks of the book, and the days of reading with him are considered peaceful.

But Baoyu is very sensitive to changes in feelings. Others in the Imperial Academy treated him like a stranger at the beginning, but since the fourth prince came over several times, some people's attitudes towards him have improved, and some people have become more friendly towards him. For indifference.Baoyu was quite calm, after all, as the young master of a noble family, there were not a few people who fawned on him, and this kind of situation was also used to, but Baoyu didn't care too much about those who ignored him.

Baoyu quickly adapted to life in the Hanlin Academy, but what was a little distressing was that Mrs. Wang nagged her every time she went home. Because Baoyu was awarded a Jinshi at a young age, the market for this marriage was naturally hot Wake up, and when I learned that Baoyu hadn't made a marriage agreement, there were matchmakers coming to Jia's house every day. Mrs. Wang was a little dazzled. I couldn't help but agree, if the daughter-in-law I found was not as good as these, Mrs. Wang might be upset.

Mrs. Xing hadn't paid attention to these things for a long time. When the imperial concubine asked, she only said vaguely, "It's all very good, not to mention the empress is taking care of it. Baoyu can't bear to be wronged."

Mrs. Xing wanted to persuade her again, but Yuan Chun acted as if she hadn't seen Mrs. Xing's hesitation, and said, "A few days ago, I saw Yingchun's mother-in-law enter the palace to pay her respects to the queen mother, and I also talked about Yingchun. Only then did I know that Yingchun was pregnant, and because the fetal image was unstable, she didn't follow her into the palace. I went to see her in the palace, and the food she ate was still delicious, did she have severe morning sickness? I have some candied fruit recipes in my hand, please ask my aunt to bring them to her for me."

Mrs. Xing went there once, and said with a smile, "I also accidentally fell down and asked the imperial doctor to find out that I was pregnant. The child is also naive, and the people around me are not allowed to use it, my little one. The confinement was delayed and I didn't think about it. I went and reprimanded them. If it wasn't for Yingchun's inseparable people, I would have beaten them. Fortunately, Fujin valued Yingchun's child, so he invited a health nurse into the palace When I go back, the court lady can't help much, because Yingchun still has to be raised well, so I don't want to be disturbed, before entering the palace, the court lady didn't go to the palace, but now I don't know if she has started to feel bad."

Seeing that Mrs. Xing still had a little affection for Yingchun, Yuan Chun also said with a smile, "This prescription will be useful sooner or later. Counting the time, it's almost time to be happy, especially since she still has an unstable fetus. Uncomfortable."

They chatted casually about other things again, and soon when the time came, Yuan Chun sent Mrs. Xing out of the palace, after all, he gave something to show his favor.After Mrs. Xing went out, she still told Mrs. Wang that the empress missed her, and Mrs. Wang happened to have no way out, so she also wanted to go to the palace to ask the empress.

"I haven't been able to make up my mind about Baoyu's marriage. Not long ago, Mr. Chen, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, leaked the news. It seems that he intends to marry our family. It is also a very good marriage. The girl from the Minister's family I've seen it before, but I don't know which girl the Shangshu family wanted to marry. I just thought that maybe some prince would also like Baoyu, so I delayed it first, and now I want to come and ask , What exactly does the empress mean, about Baoyu's marriage, the empress has other plans."

Speaking of which, the positions of the other princes in this court are a bit subtle, and they don't know who they belong to behind the scenes, and the emperor is so vigilant, he might degrade his title for crimes at any time, even if there is someone who likes Baoyu Yuan Chun first wondered if there was any purpose.

"Master Chen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, is quite trusted by the emperor. I originally thought that I might not be able to find a position as a son-in-law for Baoyu. After all, Baoyu's temperament is not suitable for officialdom. If I can get the title of son-in-law, I can avoid the imperial court. Things can be respected, but there are not many princesses in the court who are of the right age, and the emperor has decided which one to refer to in Mongolia. As for the other palaces, I am not worried about their intentions. He will deliberately get close to Jia's family to seek other things, but Baoyu can't always be on guard against the bride. Since he can't seek the position of son-in-law, he has too many other concerns. If you really have that intention, you can continue to discuss it, and when you are sure which girl it is, you can let the two parties meet, as long as Baoyu likes it."

Mrs. Wang got the answer from Yuan Chun. Although she was a little regretful, she agreed with it and said, "I listen to your mother, and I will send the message when I get back."

This year, due to the poor health of the Supreme Emperor, although at the end of the year, the Emperor came back to deal with some matters, after all, he was worried about the Supreme Emperor's health. The annual banquet was scheduled to be held in the Changchun Garden in the suburbs, but there were also many concubines living in the Changchun Garden, and the residences were scattered in a disorderly manner. I was afraid that the foreign ministers would bump into them, so I decided to hold the banquet in a newly built part of the Old Summer Palace. The location, Qingyanli in Kyushu, is a little distance from other places in the Old Summer Palace, but it won't bump into other people.

The emperor went to the outskirts of Beijing in mid-December. Fortunately, in the Old Summer Palace, they learned that the emperor would probably spend the winter in the Old Summer Palace this year, so they installed warm walls early. There are warming installations everywhere, but the residences agreed by the two are also partial courtyards, but they also put two more braziers. Anyway, they only live for a day, and they can't be cold enough.
