Qing Dynasty through Sanfu Jin

"Greetings to Er Niang," Wan Ning went to Concubine Rong's Zhongcui Palace to pay her respects as usual.What is slightly different today from the past is that Concubine Rong is not the only one in Zhongcui Palace, there are several fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls sitting on the chairs on both sides of Zhongcui Palace.

Since the fourteenth elder brother was imprisoned, the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother were also much more honest. The court was clean, and life passed very quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was the 52nd year of Kangxi.

In the 52nd year of Kangxi, another year for the general election of beautiful women.

Concubine Rong is the highest-ranking concubine in the harem. She has been in charge of the general elections these years, and this year is no exception.

Wan Ning has long been used to meeting beautiful women in Zhongcui Palace.And she entered the palace on purpose today.

Hongsheng and Hongxian are sixteen this year, and when it comes time to choose Fujin, as their mother-in-law, Wan Ning will naturally help to check.

Not only Hong Sheng and Hong Siam, but also Hongxi and Hong Yu are also selected this year, especially Hongxi.

In addition to these grandsons, there is also Yinli, the seventeenth elder brother who was born in the 36th year of Kangxi, and it is time for him to choose Fujin as his successor.

Therefore, the quality of this year's show girls is particularly high, not to mention their long and beautiful features, and their backgrounds are also noble.

For example, the Ulanghan Ziermo family from Horqin, the Hesheli family who is the daughter of Shangshu Heni, the Huihe family who is the daughter of the deputy governor Boji, the Niu Hulu family who is the daughter of the first-class public Al Ling'a, and his younger brother Yin De's daughter Xiaoniu Hulu, Wan Ning's natal brother Zengshou's daughter Dong E, Zhixiu's daughter Nian Xialing, the governor of Huguang, and his granddaughter Nian Gengyao's daughter Xiaonian.

The emperor's grandson's son, Fujin, said that he was selected now, but in fact the scope was delineated as early as when the roster was delivered.

For example, Hongsheng, Kangxi and Concubine Rong took a fancy to Zengshou's eldest daughter, Dong Eshi.Dong E's is not only Wan Ning's niece, her upbringing and family background are fine, and she is familiar with Hong Sheng. If they get married, they will have less trouble in the future.

Wan Ning refused, not because she thought her niece was not good, but because the blood relationship between the two was too close.

It is certainly a happy event to kiss and get closer, but it may not be a good thing for the back.

Wan Ning doesn't care about other people, but she doesn't want her daughter-in-law to be her niece, niece and other close relatives within three generations.

What's more, looking at the roster can only give a rough look, and if you want to know your character, you have to observe it closely.This is the purpose of Concubine Rong's banquet for beautiful girls, and also the purpose of her entry into the palace.

"Slave (courier's daughter) pays respects to Prince Cheng Fujin." The beautiful ladies did not know Wan Ning, and only guessed her identity from her address.When Wan Ning spoke, they also quickly knelt down and saluted.

Wan Ning cried out with a smile, she said: "Look at these little girls who are like green onions, my daughter-in-law is surprised that she is getting old too."

One of the show girls boldly said: "Fu Jin is not old. If I stand with Fujin, others will think you are my sister."

The beautiful woman who spoke seemed gentle, but her brows revealed arrogance. Seeing Wan Ning looking at her suspiciously, she said: "My daughter is the granddaughter of Zhixiu Huguang Governor, and my father is Sichuan Governor Nian Gengyao. "

Her message instantly appeared in Wan Ning's mind: Nian Xi, the daughter of Sichuan Governor Nian Gengyao, is fifteen years old.

Sitting above her was a girl who wore a pink palace dress that looked a little like her, but was even more beautiful and weak than her.

Nian Xiaodie is an old woman who is very young, and everyone in the Nian family likes her, but she has not been in good health since she was a child, and she is a little weak.

A girl with poor health like her, no matter how good her family background is, would not stay in Liubai, but Nian Xiaodie was an exception.She heard that the emperor was going to give Nian Xiaodie a marriage to King Yongjun as a side Fujin.

Wan Ning doesn't understand what the emperor thinks, not to mention Nian Xiaodie's weak body, she is younger than Hong Hui of her fourth brother's family, even if Nian's family is a servant of the fourth elder brother's house, it doesn't have to be so.If it really had to be the Palace of the Prince of Yongjun, Honghui would be more suitable than the fourth brother.

However, she is just a sister-in-law, and the fourth elder brother's Ama Erniang is also there, so there is no reason for her to intervene in his marriage.She could only complain in her heart.

Wan Ning smiled gently, "So it's a girl from the Nian family. Girl Nian, get up."

Concubine Rong then raised her hand to introduce her, starting from the top left.Seated on the upper left is Dong E Jingxiang, Wan Ning's niece.Concubine Rong said: "I don't need to tell you that you are familiar with this. The one below her is Niu Hulu, the daughter of Dutong Yinde, and the daughter of A Ling'a after her. These two cousins ​​are of the same age, and Yin De's daughter is the elder sister. .”

Yin De has outstanding abilities, and now he has achieved the position of the capital by virtue of his own efforts.The fact that his daughter was ranked ahead of A Ling'a's daughter was not just because she was older, but that A Ling'a's daughter was born to the Wu Ya family.

Wu Yashi was also Wu Changzai's direct sister back then.

After Wu Changzai's incident broke out, Wu Yashi immediately hanged herself. Before she died, her only request was to hope that A Ling could save the lives of their children.

Ah Ling'a and his wife are affectionate, and seeing his old wife like this, Ah Ling'a is deeply saddened.Afterwards, he went to the palace to ask Kangxi to see him, and he didn't know what the two said. In short, Kangxi spared these children of Ling'a.

Although let go, but there is no meaning of reuse.A Ling'a's sons are all at home now, and Kangxi even made Yin De the prince of the Duke's mansion by decree.

In other words, when A Ling'a passes away, his title will be inherited by his younger brother.

Although his daughter entered the palace to participate in the general election, everyone who knew about it knew that she was destined to lose in the palace election.

Perhaps because she knew her fate, A Ling'a's daughter had a bitter face from the beginning to the end, she just sat upright like that, without looking sideways, and only Concubine Rong accompanied her sister to give Wan Ning a blessing .

Wan Ning didn't mean to embarrass her, she just nodded her head to signal her to sit down.

Speaking of which, this girl is also unlucky to have such an aunt.Otherwise, based on her family background, she would definitely be able to marry into the clan or the royal family and become the first Fujin.now……

In addition to these few, there is also a very special show girl, that is, Hui Heshi, the daughter of Deputy Governor Bo Ji.This is the concubine Fujin of Hongxi, the prince's son-in-law appointed by the emperor.

Ama of the Huihe clan is capable, but he is not a big family, so he just fits the candidate for Hongxi Fujin in the emperor's heart - he has a good background, and he will not take advantage of Hongxi because of his excessive power in the future.

So she sat opposite Dong E Jingxiang.

After entering the room, Wan Ning has been quietly observing her, and has to admit that the emperor is sometimes reliable, at least this girl looks dignified and sensible.

After talking all morning, Concubine Rong let them go back.When only the two of them were left in the room, Concubine Rong said, "How about it, do you like it?"

Wan Ning spread her hands: "These beautiful girls are indeed good, and the daughter-in-law is too picky. Do you have someone in your mind?"

Concubine Rong snorted softly, "I think Shizuka is pretty good, but you don't want it. The emperor has taken a fancy to the Hesheli family as Hongsiam's Fujin. This Hesheli family's Ama is a minister. Naturally, Sheng's Fujin cannot be inferior to Hongxian, and I think it must be the daughter of Dutong or the Minister of Internal Affairs. Of course, if you don't mind, it's not impossible to choose a Mongolian Fujin."

This time, there are several people from Mongolia with good backgrounds, besides the Ulanghan Ziermo family from Horqin, there are also common surnames such as Borzigit.

Wan Ning: "I don't care what kind of flag it is. I just don't know if Hongsheng likes it or not. If he likes it, let alone the Mongolian flag, even the Han army flag is not unacceptable."

As far as she is concerned, she doesn't value family background very much, except for the two people who have similar temperaments, and then character.

Concubine Rong nodded, "Don't worry, Xiu Nu has just entered the palace and many things have not been revealed yet, let's take a look."

As soon as Wan Ning returned to the mansion, Da Fujin and Si Fujin organized a delegation to Prince Cheng's Mansion.Dong E Qingying seemed to be pinching her. Just as the two of them sat down, she also came.

Seeing that Da Fujin and Si Fujin were there, she was slightly taken aback, and then saluted, "Greetings to sister-in-law and sister-in-law Si."

Da Fujin said: "Nine brothers and sisters are polite."

They still have a good impression of Dong E Qingying and the others. Knowing that she and Brother Jiu are not in the same group, they will give some face to talk when they meet.

With two more people, Dong E Qingying felt uncomfortable for a while, and then she picked up the fruit on the table and ate it.After eating one, she wiped her hands with a handkerchief.

Da Fujin said with a smile: "The ninth younger siblings came here specially to grab some food? With your relationship with the third younger siblings, why did you make this trip? If you want to send a servant over, you will have to."

After washing her hands, Dong E Qingying said: "Sister-in-law has wronged me this time. I have something to ask you. Eating is just incidental."

Immediately afterwards, she leaned forward and said mysteriously: "Sister-in-law San entered the palace today, right? But for the marriage of two nephews?"

Wan Ning nodded, "Why didn't you hear some news?"

This girl Dong E Qingying didn't know where her skills came from, she was really top-notch in inquiring about gossip, and she heard many things from Dong E Qingying.

Dong E Qingying: "It doesn't really count, but I heard that the Nian family, the slave of the fourth brother's family, has two outstanding girls running for the election this year. I wonder if they have ever visited the fourth brother?"

If it was just a girl from the Nian family, she definitely wouldn't have said that, but she knew that Nian Gengyao, who was a feudal official, would also follow.It is said that she is worried about her younger sister who is in poor health.

Dong Eqingying curled her lips: If you are not in good health, you can just go to the booklet and be exempted from the election.With so many talented people in the Nian family, how can Khan Ama not allow it?

Si Fujin thought for a while and said: "It seems that there is such a thing, that year Gengyao brought his daughter. What's the matter? Is there any problem?"

Dong E Qingying moved the chair forward, and whispered: "The problem is serious. The fourth sister-in-law must not know that this year Gengyao took his own sister to the eighth elder brother's house. I heard that they talked a lot. joyous."

A few years ago, the family had a daughter who participated in the general election, and the eighth and ninth elder brothers wanted to get her attention, but unfortunately, the girl was directly defeated in the election.

I thought Lao Ba would give up on this, but I didn't expect him to have a relationship with Nian Gengyao.Everyone knew that Nian Gengyao loved his younger sister more than his daughter, but he actually took his younger sister to see Lao Ba, is this okay?

After speaking, she looked at Da Fujin again, "Nian Gengyao's wife is Mingzhu's granddaughter, has he ever visited eldest brother?"

Eldest elder brother has some relationship with Ming Zhu's family, if she says goodbye, she thinks that apart from fourth elder brother, it is reasonable to meet eldest elder brother.

Unexpectedly, Da Fujin shook her head, and she sarcastically said, "Which card are we on?"

The elder brother broke up with Mingzhu a long time ago. She heard that Nian Gengyao is capable, but he also has high-spirited eyes and full of ambitions. Now that the elder brother has no "fighting spirit", how can he go to see him?

In Nian Gengyao's eyes, the elder brother is just a barbaric martial artist, nothing compared to the eighth elder brother.

Da Fujin's words were very sour, with countless resentments.

Wan Ning: "What do you mean, Lao Ba and Lao Jiu are planning to toss again? Why?"

Could it be that time really heals everything, making them forget about Fourteen's fate in the past few years?

Dong E Qingying shook her head, "I don't know the details, I just overheard a little bit. But I think, these two people have always been evil-minded."

Now the two are much more cautious, even if they are in their own mansion, they will send people to guard them. It is completely impossible for Dong E Qingying to imagine as before.

It was good for her to hear that.

Dong E Qingying was very satisfied with her life in the past few years, she didn't want to be ruined by the old man, so she rushed over to report the matter when she learned about it.

Wan Ning glanced at Si Fujin, and slowly said: "I heard from Er Niang that the emperor intended to marry Nian Xiaodie to the fourth brother as a side Fujin, and the eighth brother's plan may come to nothing. And the fourth brother Sand is not tolerated in people's eyes, Nian Gengyao's behavior is tantamount to betraying the master, do you think the fourth younger brother will reuse him in the future?"

Dong Eqingying did shake her head, "I don't think so, you must not know, third sister-in-law, the starling is not looking at this Nian Xiaodie, but Nian Gengyao's daughter Nian Xi."

She analyzed clearly and said: "Marrying Nian Xiaodie is at most wooing the power of the Nian family, and there is a pearl behind Nian Xi. If it were you, sister-in-law, who would you choose? Besides, that young We have all seen butterflies, sickly ones, and they will not live long at first glance."

Da Fujin laughed out loud, "The mouth of the Ninth Brother and Sister really makes people love and hate it. I suddenly remembered that the Ninth Brother and Sister are keen to give the Ninth Brother a woman. The overall quality of the girls this time is good. How can the Nine fancy?"

Dong Eqingying sighed: "Forget it this time, the sisters-in-law will choose a wife for the nephew, so I won't add to the trouble."

"Sister-in-law three, I think Shizuka is pretty good, why don't you like her?"

Wan Ning: "I didn't say that Jingxiang is very good, but she and Hongsheng are too close in blood. You also know that the third elder brother reads miscellaneous books, and his family has a lot of medical skills. I have seen it before. Some people say that marriage between close relatives is not good. Well, it is easy to give birth to unhealthy sons."

"Think about Longkodo's son, Yue Xing'a, and" she lowered her voice, "and Empress Xiaoyi's daughter who died young."

Longkodo's son, Yue Xing Ayin, was ruthlessly paranoid, and his eldest son was born an idiot.Although the Tong family tried their best to conceal it, they knew what they should know.

Not to mention Empress Xiaoyi's daughter, she died within a few months of birth.

Dong E Qingying said: "Didn't you say that Yue Xing'a's son was retribution? Besides, there are many children from aristocratic families who died early, and it can't be said that the princess is because of this."

Wan Ning shook her head, "I know what you said, but I'm a mother, so I always have to worry more."

For this reason, she did not hesitate to offend her elder brother and sister-in-law.

Da Fujin said: "The third sibling is right. As mothers, we always think of what is best for our children. How can we allow the slightest mistake, even if it is a rumor."

Immediately afterwards, she changed the subject, "However, the third younger sibling has concerns, but Hong Yu doesn't have them. If the third younger sibling really doesn't want to, I'll tell Er Niang later, how about pointing her to Hong Yu?"

Da Fujin didn't say that Jingxiang had a good relationship with Hongsheng, and was even familiar with Hongyu, and Hongyu had taken a fancy to him early on.It's just that he is thin-skinned and embarrassed to say.

If Da Fujin hadn't caught Hong Yu drinking and asked carefully, he still wouldn't say anything.

Wan Ning said with a smile: "If she can be liked by sister-in-law, that's her blessing. But, has sister-in-law asked Hong Yu what she means?"

Speaking of this, Da Fujin also laughed. "I've asked, let me tell you the truth. A few days ago, I was chatting with our father about choosing a daughter-in-law, and I said that the emperor intended to marry Shizuka to Hong Sheng, which was overheard by that brat Hong Yu. The stinky boy drank too much wine because of this."

"It's only now that we know that he's taken a fancy to Shizuka. If it really happens, he's not sure how successful he will be."

Da Fujin is happy that his son can form a husband and wife with the girl he likes.

Wan Ning turned to look at Sifujin, "Where is Sisister-in-law, is there someone you like?"

Si Fujin twitched the corners of his mouth, "Not yet? This kid Hong Hui only said to let Er Niang make the decision, and I asked him to agree on everything. It's really worrying."

She is not only worried about Hong Hui, but also Si elder brother.

Concubine An also mentioned Nian Xiaodie's matter to her, but Concubine An didn't dare to say anything to death, she only said to prepare her mentally.

Her son is going to marry Fujin, and Ama is marrying Fujin, she feels embarrassed when she thinks about it.

But this matter was bestowed by the emperor, and she couldn't say no to it.

Wan Ning knew what she was thinking, so she had no choice but to comfort her: "Don't think too much, Khan Ama has not monitored everyone in recent years? Nian Gengyao thought he was doing it a secret, do you think Khan Ama would know? If Now, what will happen to Khan Amma?"

The emperor must have disclosed to Nian's family the matter of giving Nian Xiaodie a marriage to the fourth elder brother. Even if he hadn't, Nian Gengyao took his sister and daughter to run around.

Maybe the emperor lost his mind when he saw him like this?

The fourteenth elder brother's incident is a lesson for the past, and the emperor will never allow it to happen again.Not to mention other houses now, even San Age's house has entered several 'emperor's people'.

I'm afraid there are more people with criminal records like Ba Age.Maybe the emperor has a countermeasure now.

Sifujin twitched the corners of her mouth: I hope.

Because of the news brought by Dong E Qingying, everyone became depressed.Si Fujin got up and left after sitting for a long time, and then Da Fujin also bid farewell.

Dong E Qingying was a little apprehensive, she whispered: "Sister-in-law, did I say something wrong?"

Otherwise, why did the fourth sister-in-law and the eldest sister-in-law both leave?
