Jia Zheng through the Red Mansions
Chapter 18
After the empress dowager returned to the palace from the summer resort, the draft officially began. Knowing that Yuan Chun had been put on hold, both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and began to discuss the selection of a son-in-law for Yuan Chun.
The selection of the son-in-law had not been carried out for a few days, but the eunuch in the palace reported that it was the old concubine Shuhui who ordered the old lady Jia to enter the palace.
Mother Jia didn't know why, so she went into the palace anxiously. Mrs. Wang didn't know if there was a change in Yuanchun's affairs, and her heart was also up and down.When Jia Mu came back, Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Mu's expression a little displeased, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "But what's wrong with Yuan girl?"
Mother Jia sighed: "The old concubine said, the queen mother wants to marry our Yuan girl to a man named Zade."
Mrs. Wang was stunned: "Is it a good thing to give a marriage? Why did the ancestors..."
"Giving a marriage is a good thing, but the status of this son-in-law!" Mother Jia thought about the son-in-law candidates she and Mrs. Wang had selected for Yuanchun in the past two days. He was born as a Jinshi with a bright future, and his family is also a scholarly family. Although this Zade is a Manchu, he is the bastard of the family, and he is also a reckless man who does not know how to read and write. How can he be worthy of Yuan girl!
After listening to Jia Mu's words, Mrs. Wang stopped talking, and both the queen mother and the concubine spoke, even if they didn't want to, they couldn't.
Soon Jia Zheng found out about this, and when Jia Zheng heard it, he felt that something was wrong. Among the Eight Banners' disciples, the nearest descendant was chosen by the emperor to marry someone from among the beautiful girls of the Eight Banners. The imperial daughter and princesses of the clan were selected as concubines, and the rest of the people who were not of sufficient status were able to engage in marriages on their own, and those who received marriages from the emperor were even rarer. Why did Zade get a marriage?
Keenly thinking that this matter might have something to do with Hongxi, Jia Zheng hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to ask clearly. He couldn't figure it out. If Hongxi really intervened, why would he do such a thing?
When Hong Xi saw Jia Zheng came to see him and asked about this matter, she pretended to be aggrieved: "I also saw that you are out of your mind these days, and wanted to ask you what's bothering you, but didn't dare. It took me a long time to inquire. It was rumored that it was because of your daughter, and when I was in Qiuwei, I managed to get a marriage from Huang Mafa, and from what the queen mother said, I originally wanted to point your eldest daughter to my eighth uncle!" The last sentence is pure It's Hongxi's nonsense.
But Jia Zheng believed it was true, and seeing Hongxi's sincere appearance was not a fake at all, he felt even more ashamed, but he was treating the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!
Seeing the change in Jia Zheng's expression, Hongxi added another rage: "I'm used to being self-willed and absurd. At first you tolerated me, but later I realized that you despise me from the bottom of your heart, but Even so, I regard you as my master, and I want to think about you."
What he said made Jia Zheng stunned. He never thought that Hongxi thought of himself in this way. He thought that he was just a slave in Hongxi's eyes. How could...
Hongxi continued her bitterness card: "Everyone around me has been hypocritical to me since I was a child. In the past 17 years, I only met you who treated me sincerely. But I made you angry because I didn't grow up. Now it's too late to regret it."
Hongxi's performance completely made Jia Zheng criticize himself severely in his heart. Looking at Hongxi again, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was his own prejudice. Still as clean as a piece of white paper!
The poor uncle didn't see the treacherous smile in Hongxi's heart, he was in a hurry and didn't know what to say to appease Hongxi!
The next day, the Empress Dowager's decree officially arrived at Jia's mansion. Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang went to the Queen Mother to thank the Queen Mother after wearing clothes according to the order, and Jia Zheng went to Qianqing Palace to meet Kangxi and thank him.
Seeing that Kangxi's face was sinking like water, Jia Zheng didn't dare to ask any more questions, and after thanking him in a polite way, he stood aside with his head bowed.
Kangxi snorted coldly, and then said: "Jia Shidu, what I hate the most in my life is corruption, bribery, favoritism and malpractice! Your Jia family not only violated this, but also disrespected the late emperor. This is a big treason!"
Jia Zheng knew it was wrong as soon as he heard it, and quickly knelt down to plead guilty. Kangxi's original intention was just to warn him. .
When Jia Zheng left the Forbidden City and returned to Jia's mansion, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang listened to Jia Zheng's words with a look of fear, especially Mrs. Wang, who looked remorseful.
According to the order of the Queen Mother, Yuanchun and Zade will be married on October 15th. Seeing that it will be October soon, the Jia family is busy making arrangements for the marriage. Both Mrs. Wang and Jiamu feel that they owe Yuanchun, so A lot of money was spent on the dowry.
Even so, the items such as dragon and phoenix quilts and pillows in the dowry have to be sewn by hand. Although girls from wealthy families do not need to sew all by hand, they also have maids at home to help. Big loss of face!
These things were prepared from scratch, and Mother Jia mobilized some of the best craftsmen in her room to help Yuan Chun catch up with the work, and only then did several sets be made.
As the eldest sister-in-law, Li Wan also embroidered some things for Yuan Chun by herself. Because of the good housekeeping in the first month, Mrs. Wang was still very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, and let her do some things freely.
The whole family is busy, and the only one who has free time is Mrs. Xing. At first, she was jealous of Fu Jin who Yuanchun entered the palace for a draft and might become a concubine or prince. Later, she knew that things had changed and she was still laughing that Mrs. Wang deserved it. , now that Yuan Chun is married and is about to get married, even though the other party is not from the clan, she is still from the Eight Banners, isn't she?Mrs. Xing is not in a good mood again.
The girl in the second room is about to get married, so why doesn't Jia Lian in my own room even order a kiss?But no matter how stupid Mrs. Xing was, she knew that Mother Jia was focusing on Yuan Chun's marriage now, and she might not get any benefit from talking about Jia Lian now, so she just endured it in her heart.
Seeing Yingchun helping Yuanchun to sew this and that all day long, Mrs. Xing was even more dissatisfied. , although it is raised by the old lady, but in the end she still wants to call herself "Madam"!
Mrs. Xing didn't have the guts to bother Jia's mother, so she turned her anger on Yingchun. Every day when Yingchun came to her room to pay her respects, she would sneer at her, or point at Sang and scold Huai. This temper is becoming more dull day by day.
Originally, Yuan Chun would give her an explanation, but at this time, Yuan Chun was so focused on buying the dowry that she inevitably ignored the changes in Yingchun. When she realized that Yingchun had changed from being quiet to timid and cowardly, it was already Yuanchun who gave birth to her. It's time for the first son, which is another story.
On the day of Yuanchun's wedding, Jia's mansion was really beautiful, and Zade had already taken his biological mother and auntie to build a separate house because of Kangxi's will. In this way, the man seemed not as good as the woman.
Sitting in the sedan chair, Yuan Chun couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. He had never seen what the other party looked like, but he heard that he was a guard, had no education, and was full of brute force.
The brothers and sisters Yuan Chun and Jia Zhu have also read a lot of miscellaneous books. Yuan Chun also secretly thought about the dream of a talented man and a beautiful woman, but the reality is disappointing. But it is better than marrying into the palace and the prince's mansion. I don't know. How many times!Thinking of this, Yuan Chun felt a lot of joy in his heart.
After the church worship, Yuan Chun was helped into the bridal chamber and sat on the bed. After a lot of tossing, Xi Niang finished all the etiquette such as spreading the tent, only to hear someone next to him shouting with a smile: "Let's see Look at the bride!"
The people in the bridal chamber started booing, and Yuan Chun under the hijab became more nervous and embarrassed.
At this moment, Yuan Chun only felt that the covering on his head was loose, and then his eyes lit up, and a dark face appeared in front of him with a rough and somewhat simple and honest face, and there was also a slight embarrassment on that person's face.
The bridegroom officer also saw Yuan Chun's discomfort, so he rushed a group of people who were noisy in the bridal chamber to drink in the front hall, and the new house became quiet. Looking around Yuan Chun, the new house was very delicately furnished. Although it was not very luxurious, it was It was also thoughtful, and the maid who was her dowry was standing next to her holding the piano, and at this moment, she came over to get some exquisite snacks.
After Yuan Chun ate, he sat quietly on the bed. At this time, Xi Niang came in again and took Baoqin out. Soon after, the groom returned to the room.
It's night, I won't talk about it in detail.
In the eyes of outsiders, this newlywed couple is very unsuitable. Although Yuan Chun is not as delicate as a Han woman, she is very petite standing next to the rough Zade. Said, what a flower stuck in cow dung!
When returning home, when Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu saw the son-in-law and grandson-in-law, they also complained in their hearts. They held Yuan Chun's hand, and Mrs. Wang burst into tears, which frightened Yuan Chun, and asked her mother what was wrong.
Mrs. Wang grabbed Yuan Chun, looked up and down carefully, and found that her daughter had no signs of being abused, so she was a little relieved. Yuan Chun knew that Mrs. Wang was afraid that she would be bullied by her husband's family, so she couldn't help laughing.
"Ma'am, he looks like a bluff, but he treats me very well." Yuan Chun blushed as he spoke.
What Yuan Chun said was from the heart, this Zade is very kind-hearted, and Zade's mother was born as an aunt, and she became the housekeeper's wife of this mansion under the honor of her son, but she has no housekeeping skills at all. Less than a month after the mansion came out to marry Yuan Chun, the servants lost thousands of taels of silver—this was only discovered by Yuan Chun when he checked the account books on the first day of the marriage.
Originally these servants thought Yuan Chun was just a little daughter-in-law, what could they understand?Who ever thought that this person was also helping Mrs. Wang in managing the house. After several inspections, all those who had dirty money were found out, and those who should be beaten were beaten, and those who should be kicked out were kicked out. .
Now the bride is clean and beautiful, and the mother-in-law is not only not angry, but happy like something, repeatedly pulling Yuan Chun's hands to say that her son married a good wife, Yuan Chun's face is so embarrassing that she wants to go to the ground up.
From then on, Yuan Chun suddenly became the housekeeper's wife in the mansion. The mother-in-law was gentle and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was very harmonious. Although the husband was not good at words, he was extremely filial and kind.
Marrying into such a family, all the original regrets in Yuan Chun's heart turned into joy, what more can a husband ask for if he is like this?
The selection of the son-in-law had not been carried out for a few days, but the eunuch in the palace reported that it was the old concubine Shuhui who ordered the old lady Jia to enter the palace.
Mother Jia didn't know why, so she went into the palace anxiously.
