It's Hard to Be the Concubine of the Red Chamber

Chapter [-]

The Li family has always been considered a good-natured person, even after experiencing Tu Mingjun's ascension to the throne and gaining power, they are not too complacent after all.Apart from being awarded the title of Cheng En Gong because of being the emperor's kinsman, there are no other requirements. He also resigned from his official position on the pretext of old age and weakness.

Not to mention others, at least for the empress dowager, she still prefers such a well-behaved and non-provoking family than a family with power.When she was unhappy in those years, except that her mother occasionally handed her some private money, she didn't see her mother's family running up and down, and she didn't want to use her current status to gain too many benefits for her mother's family. It's not bad to let the natal family continue to be honest.

Anyway, in the heart of the empress dowager, the world is now in vain. Although there may not be much affection, even if it is only for the sake of filial piety, it must be thanks to the uncle's family.

That's enough.

But forget about other people in my mother's family, my mother is quite good to her, so this time it is rare for my mother to ask for a visit, and it is not something related to the previous dynasty. Naturally, the queen mother is not stingy to give her mother some face , asked Yuan Chun more.

Now that Rongguo Mansion has a noble concubine, life has improved again.The big house, Jia Lian, got an official position and seemed to be doing well. He could be promoted to a half-rank position after only one review by the Ministry of Officials. The life of the second house, Jia Zheng, was much better after he went to the Ministry of Punishment than when he was in the Ministry of Industry. Although it may not be easy to go up in the Ministry of Punishment, some people who want to please have already figured out a way for Jia Zheng. They are following the way of King Gong and planning to go to Guanglu Temple. Seeing that it will happen.

After all, Mrs. Cheng Engong doesn't want to fight with her daughter-in-law and niece because of trivial matters, but she doesn't like Tanchun's background, and she doubts Tanchun's temperament when she looks at the appearance of the grandma of Prince Kung's Mansion who has already left her home. Just talked to my daughter twice.Coincidentally, I heard that there are two girls in the Rongguo Mansion, both of whom are said to be quite doted on, and they are both born in a serious manner, so I thought about asking my daughter to help me ask—there is one in the left and right palaces As for the girls in Rongguo Mansion, it doesn't take much trouble to ask.

And it was probably because Yuan Chun looked down on her natal family's overly successful pretense on weekdays, and the queen mother really didn't treat Yuan Chun as an outsider, so she asked the two remaining girls in the Rongguo Mansion straight to the point.

There were no outsiders in the Empress Dowager's Palace, and Yuan Chun really wanted to leave the Empress Dowager with the impression that the girls from the Rongguo Mansion were not bad, so he simply told the truth.

"Now there are three unidentified girls left in my concubine's family. The oldest one is the daughter of my aunt in the previous generation. The concubine's aunt passed away in the early years, and my uncle never remarried, so she was raised in the concubine's house. This cousin His father was Lin Ruhai, a former doctor of Lantai Temple and inspector of salt, who died in the first two years of his tenure, and was given a posthumous title by the Supreme Emperor." This is Lin Daiyu, even though she is younger than Tanchun. It's a little longer, but Lin Ruhai's funeral has not been completed for three years. Logically speaking, she is still in the period of filial piety, so it is not good to talk about marriage so early, "This girl is only 15 years old this year, and she is not yet in the filial period. Talk about family matters."

"The younger one is the third younger sister who is valued by the wife of the world. She is two months younger than sister Lin. Although she is a concubine, her education is not bad. Naturally, she has learned all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, even if she was married before. Although the second younger sister who went out is a bit timid, she is not weak in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the third younger sister is more lively and capable. It was inevitable that her natal younger siblings were not as good as when she gave birth, and she can still help the housekeeper at home." Yuan Chun. Listening to the Queen Mother's words, Feng seemed to be quite satisfied with the situation of Rongguo Mansion, and presumably disliked Tanchun's lack of background, so he simply listed her benefits as well.

"The other one is the fourth younger sister, but she is even younger, she is only 11 years old, and she is not actually a concubine's family, but a daughter from the Ningguo Mansion. She is the second-class general Jia Jing who died first. The old girl of the old lady, now the younger sister of the third-class Willie General Jia Zhen, but because she lost her mother when she was a child, and Jia Zhen's original spouse died of illness earlier, so Uncle Ningguo Mansion entrusted this younger sister to my concubine's grandmother So even though she is also a daughter raised in the Rongguo Mansion, after careful calculation, Jia Xichun's marriage may not be completely decided by the Rongguo Mansion.

When Yuan Chun said this, the Queen Mother also hesitated. Except for the third girl whom the younger siblings had already favored in the Rongguo Mansion, the other two mentioned by Yuan Chun were actually not of low birth, but they were also not suitable. , if it is true that there is a big one among the dwarfs, it is estimated that there will be only one Tanchun at most, which is not bad.

I won't talk about Xichun's side, but the young girl's age is not very appropriate.And although Daiyu is of the right age, she is a loyal minister and martyr. She has always been able to only give grace and not treat her in the slightest. If she is really told to her natal nephew, I am afraid that this title will never be given to her stepmother. Now that I have a son, I'm afraid that my younger siblings will be a moth in a hurry.

But these things don't need to worry about the Queen Mother, she was only entrusted by her mother, she just remembered Yuan Chun's words, and then passed it on to Mrs. Cheng Engong. Whether this marriage can be completed or not depends on Cheng Engong The mansion made its own decision. As a married woman, the Queen Mother didn't want to interfere too much with her natal family's affairs.

In case something happens in the future, it will make me not a human being inside and out.

----split line----

Now that the Queen Mother has been alarmed by this matter, Yuan Chun simply doesn't bother to care about it. The so-called life and death are determined by fate and wealth. She can pick out such a good marriage from the dream and work hard for it. Cheng is just a pity in my heart.

There is nothing to talk about that can hurt your muscles and bones.

However, the marriage has finally come to fruition, just because Tanchun is not in a hurry, so he is not as anxious to go out as Yingchun was, and it was also requested by Cheng Engong's mansion to record Tanchun in Mrs. Wang Under the name—after all, no matter whether they are or not, everyone is well aware of the affairs of Cheng Engong's mansion, but things must be done decently. How could he not do such an easy thing to pay attention to as marrying a stepson to a concubine.

And Mrs. Wang got Yuan Chun's previous advice, and she also complied with the other party's request-the left and right are just a daughter, and they are going to marry soon, so it doesn't matter. Dali praised her, and praised Mrs. Wang's virtuousness in front of the whole family.

Jia Zheng was not very sensitive to these matters, so he didn't react much.The only one who is dissatisfied with this is probably Aunt Zhao, but as a concubine, she obviously has no right to speak at this time, and at most she can only blow pillows with Jia Zheng.But Mrs. Wang is not a vegetarian either, she told Tanchun about this matter and ordered her to go to Aunt Zhao's place to make a fuss, and at the same time pretended to be tolerant and magnanimous to talk to Jia Zheng.

"After all, he is also the son of the prince's family. If it weren't for the close relationship between the empress and the queen mother, our family might not be able to get such a affordable marriage. As long as the Li family comes from a scholarly family, even if the empress said good things, I couldn't do it." When it comes to the matter of the concubine’s marriage with the concubine’s daughter, Cheng Engong’s mansion only mentioned the request of remembering the concubine, which is considered to have given our family face. This matter is not my selfishness, you must know that this is for the third girl. Words are beneficial and harmless, and I don’t know why Aunt Zhao is making a fuss.” Mrs. Wang said that she didn’t know why, but in fact she put eye drops on Aunt Zhao clearly, “Three The girl grew up by my side anyway, calling me Mrs., although I dare not say that I treat her like a concubine, but I don't want her to be bad, this is the best for the third girl It's a family affair."

Although Jia Zheng was a little more simple in terms of human sophistication, he was not a complete idiot. At least he understood what Mrs. Wang meant when Mrs. Wang had already said it so clearly.

Although he still dotes on Aunt Zhao on weekdays, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know the fact that Aunt Zhao has shallow eyelids, so it is logical that Mrs. Wang put eye drops back on her.

As for the news that Tanchun and Aunt Zhao were pinching each other the next day, Jia Zheng became even more bored with Aunt Zhao.

After all, children are always good in the hearts of parents, and Tanchun can be regarded as a capable and sensible stamp in Jia Zheng's heart. Naturally, he would not think that it was his daughter who took the initiative to provoke troubles. Naturally, Aunt Zhao had to bear the blame Yes, even Jia Zheng felt that Aunt Zhao was not reconciled, so he specially took a photo of his daughter to persuade her.

So early the next morning, Jia Zheng sent someone to Jia Zhen, saying that he wanted someone to add Tanchun's name to Mrs. Wang's name in the genealogy.

The Jia family has always had a rule that concubines are not allowed to enter the family tree, only sons and prostitutes can enter the family tree, so this is undoubtedly a big deal for Tanchun.

The relationship between the girls in the Jia family is actually not too bad. Although it is inevitable that there is some disharmony, at least they are affectionate on the surface. At least on this kind of good thing about exploring spring, everyone must Congratulations.

Because the two families have already agreed on the marriage, and have officially entered the procedure of the Six Rites, basically it can be said that Tanchun's marriage has been decided.Daiyu and Xichun in Rongguo Mansion are clear-minded people, so naturally they will not be dissatisfied because Tanchun has a good home, and naturally they sincerely congratulate them.

Xue's family moved out of Jia's house not long after Baochai made a marriage agreement. Baochai is also a man of nature, and he will never forget his contacts with Jia's family on weekdays, such as Tanchun this time. Naturally, I specially came to visit with gifts, and sincerely congratulated Tanchun once.

But Shi Xiangyun's mood may not be too smooth after all, but first of all, she doesn't live in Jia's house all the time, and second, there is actually no direct conflict between her and Tanchun, but she was jealous for a while, and she honestly gave Tanchun the same as usual. Chun handed the gift.

It made this marriage look extraordinarily glamorous, as if there was nothing wrong with it.
