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

Chapter 44

Although Tu Mingjun always ran to Yuanchun's place when he had nothing to do, but after all, Yuanchun didn't spend many days in bed.

Calculated at most once or twice a month, it is not conspicuous given the small population in the harem.

Moreover, Yuan Chun changes and washes on time every month, obviously she is not pregnant yet, so it doesn't attract much attention.

Although it's not that no one has thought of placing eyeliner here in Yuanchun, after all, Yuanchun is the only concubine with a title in the palace, no matter how inconspicuous she is.But because Yuan Chun was magnanimous enough to take the lead in front of Tu Mingxuan before, the inside and outside of Fengzao Palace were full of Tu Mingjun's eyeliner, which made it difficult for others to get under Yuanchun's nose.

——Even if one or two of them came by luck, they would be discovered by Tu Mingxuan's subordinates soon, and then they would be sent out without even alarming Yuan Chun.

Under such circumstances, Yuan Chun even handed over all the palace affairs of Fengzao Palace to Le'er, and sent Wu'er to Le'er's hands. The rest of himself didn't bother, he just ate and drank and played with the piano every day. Chess, calligraphy and painting are just to pass the time.

But Tu Mingxuan liked to come to Yuanchun more and more to get some advice.

"The Emperor Taishang wants to build a summer garden, but there is not much money in the treasury now, and we have to take precautions against possible changes in border crossings in autumn and winter and possible disaster relief needs." Although the harem cannot be involved in politics, such things But it can let Yuanchun know.

The overlord's garden can be regarded as a private matter and does not involve the political affairs of the previous dynasty, and the state treasury is empty all year round.As for possible wars at the border or disaster relief in autumn and winter...

Anyone who has seen a map of China knows how big China is, and it borders many countries. These things happen every year, and it is not a novelty.

"Even if we live in peace this year, we have to be prepared. The Holy Majesty thinks it's not a bad thing to be frugal. Now that the Supreme Emperor wants to build a summer garden, he will not be able to live in it until next year." Yuan Chun added a cup of tea for Tu Mingjun, and turned around. Turning his eyes, he thought about the countermeasures, "The Supreme Emperor probably has a private treasury. If he sincerely wanted to build a garden, he would have taken money from the private treasury himself, but he wanted to pay money from the state treasury—this Fortunately, the Holy Majesty can grit his teeth and bear it."

In the dream, Yuanchun went back to her mother's house to visit relatives. She was obviously only the daughter of the second room, but the relatives' villa was built in the entire Rongguo Mansion. In order to build the relatives' villa, the foundation of the entire Rongguo Mansion was basically hollowed out. Even Yuan Chun would not believe it if it was said that Jia's mother had no idea of ​​poaching the eldest son's corner to subsidize the youngest son's love for his grandson.

But there are some things that cannot be explained too thoroughly with Tu Mingjun.

After hearing Yuan Chun's words, Tu Mingxun couldn't help frowning.

When paying his respects today, he also told the Queen Mother that although the Queen Mother did not understand the affairs of the previous dynasty, she also knew that the way of filial piety was the first thing to do. He gritted his teeth and swallowed the bitter water.

"It's just that even if you have to suffer, you still have to gain some benefits." Yuan Chun looked at Tu Ming's face, and said softly, "If it's the simplest, if there is any garden under the name of the Holy One, just pick it up. One place is for the Supreme Emperor. It is only said that if it is a new garden, it will miss the situation of this year. It is only said that it is filial piety to give the place that I love to the Supreme Emperor. It’s just for the sake of staying in the summer garden, so that’s enough. It’s unlikely that the emperor would go out of the palace to escape the summer heat when the emperor was alive, and he didn’t lose anything.” Moreover, Tu Mingyu’s garden is a real imperial use. Even if the Supreme Emperor intends to subsidize other descendants, it is impossible to give this garden away.

As for the place to escape the summer heat, when the Supreme Emperor was still alive, even if Tu Mingjun wanted to avoid the summer heat, he could only send the Supreme Emperor out of the palace. It was impossible for the father and son to go to different places for the summer vacation.

"Even if we must build a garden, I don't want to transfer money from the national treasury. The Holy One now has his own private treasury. The transfer of money from the national treasury may delay the affairs of the previous court, and it may be a bit complicated to go to the Ministry of Finance. You might as well take the money from the private treasury to build a garden, the left and right are all the money of the Holy Majesty, it doesn’t matter which way you go, and the money from the private treasury is also showing the filial piety of the Holy Majesty.” Because of the relationship between the prophet in the dream, Yuan Chun actually had a good relationship with him. These things have been pondered for a long time, and now it seems that it is easy to say them.

Her smile was full, showing a bit of radiance, but the expression in her eyes was serious.

"This was originally the method of the women in the back house. The grandmother in the mansion is getting older, and sometimes she often has a whim. No matter what the grandmother thinks at that time, if the public account is rich, that's all. If not, mother Just fill it with the things in your private dowry, and when grandma's heat is over, you can give the good things to my concubine by changing hands, and you will never suffer." Yuan Chun tilted his head and stuffed it into his mouth. A snack, "Later, the uncle's family married a concubine's uncle's cousin as the eldest daughter-in-law, and the mother gave the housekeeping to the natal cousin. Although the concubine's news in the palace is not very clear, but holding the piano is every two or three. I can see her natal family once a month. I only heard that in recent years, when the money in the public treasury is a little tight, the housekeeper grandma has to be a dowry and cry poorly until the rent in the Zhuangzi shop is collected every season. Then I redeemed my own things with money. It is said that I have seen the same thing two or three times in the pawn shop. When I came back with the piano, I told my concubine as an interesting thing. After all, the family will also belong to the couple in the future. The matter of turning the right hand has won a lot of praise." Before the construction of the family-saving villa, although the Jia family was also going downhill, they did not worry about wealth and status, and they lived a very good life, but once or twice they did not let Wang Xifeng It's been one or two decorations, but they can be bought back soon after all, so what Yuan Chun is saying now is the truth.

But Tu Ming couldn't help but see a bright light in front of him.

Many of Yuan Chun's suggestions at this meeting were learned from the affairs of her mother's family. It can be seen that the affairs of this noble man's family are indeed somewhat similar to those of the royal family.

And due to various reasons, there are really not many people from honorable families in Tuming's harem, and Yuanchun is only one who can stand on the stage.

Thinking that Yuan Chun has solved a lot of troubles for himself recently, Tu Mingxun made up his mind that he can go to Yuan Chun more recently.

----split line----

Because there is such a think tank as Yuan Chun by his side, following Yuan Chun's words, Tu Mingjun's recent life is obviously much better than before.

Although the Supreme Emperor still holds the power and is unwilling to let it go, but after all he has passed the throne to Tu Mingjun, in order not to lose the reputation of taking power, sometimes he does not dare to go too far.

At least in the morning court every day, the Supreme Emperor will never appear, and even the papers handed over from various ministries and places are handed over to Tu Mingyu according to the rules, and the Supreme Emperor will only receive secret documents handed over by his confidants .

There are secret private letters about things outside, even things in the capital, and veterans often come to "greetings" with the Supreme Emperor, and the comparison between the two sides is very well-informed.Whether it is a real court event or a candidate for some important position, if the Supreme Emperor has the heart, he can always send a message to Tu Mingzhen to seek benefits for his confidants.

Tu Mingxun suffered a loss, and he could only grit his teeth secretly in his heart, but now he has become broken.

Since you want to intervene in the political affairs of the previous dynasty, then I will simply leave the work to you, and I will just do it to learn.

According to Yuan Chun, the left and right have already lost their face, so they simply throw away their face, and the serious thing is to exchange more benefits.

So whenever there is any major event in the court, often after the court, Tu Mingjun will send the little eunuchs to help him hold the booklet, and go to the Supreme Emperor to ask for advice, and often stay there for a whole day.

But You Tuming stood in front of the Supreme Emperor, even when the veterans came, they could only talk about unimportant household things, so it was hard to say much.

According to Tu Mingxuan's thinking, no matter what he does, the Supreme Emperor will always intervene to make decisions. If he waits in front of the Supreme Emperor, there is no room for meddling, but at least he can get some advice from the Supreme Emperor on these matters .

For a while, the atmosphere between the two was quite similar to the old Prince Yizhong's appearance in front of the Supreme Emperor when he was young, and it looked quite warm.

Not only did the old officials who came to visit the Holy Spirit feel a little dreamy about the past, but the Supreme Emperor also showed some kindness on the face of the emperor.

"Concubine Xian is always straightforward, and my son likes to go to her place to listen to her talk in his spare time, so it's time to relax for a while. I heard her talk about learning to be a housekeeper with her family when I was young, although It's something about her inner house, but I also have some feelings. Thinking that the son was spoiled by the queen mother in the harem when he was young, although he also learned some miscellaneous things from the study room, his knowledge is not bad, but in the end Mostly it is the ability to talk about wars on paper, but if you do things with real knives and guns, you will always lack some skills in political affairs, but you should listen to the teachings of your father." When Tu Mingxun said this, he was quite sincere. He seemed very willing.

What Yuan Chun said was that Mrs. Wang's housekeeper first asked Jia's mother to do the raft to suppress the servants, but in Tu Ming's mouth, it became that when the children grew up, they learned from the elders.

Raising children was originally a story in everyone's family. If it was really inspired by these stories, it would make sense.

Moreover, Yuan Chun already had a close relationship with the Supreme Emperor, but he was able to touch the Supreme Emperor's mind even more.

Although the Taishanghuang definitely had his own selfish intentions, he was also a father after all, and even in some cases, he could barely be said to be a loving father.Originally, this father-son relationship was only given to the first few sons headed by the old Prince Yizhong, but now, apart from a few milk dolls among the sons under his knees, there is only one disciple who can often appear in front of his eyes, and also It was an open-minded face asking for advice, which reminded him of the scene when he was young when he raised the first prince by hand.

It's a pity that the crown prince finally failed his own intentions and committed an unforgivable crime, which made the Supreme Emperor a little sad.Under such touching conditions, it is inevitable that there will be some empathy, and naturally it will also give Tu Mingxun a little more care.

At the very least, now the Supreme Emperor is willing to explain to Tu Mingxuan when dealing with things, and even sometimes he may no longer be the Supreme Emperor's voice on these matters, and Tu Mingxuan is still able to express himself on some things the opinion of.

Although the Supreme Emperor is still in power, the gangster has room to speak, and occasionally he can handle some minor matters independently under the supervision of the Supreme Emperor.

Even sometimes when the Taishang Huang is out of energy, he can allow Tu Mingjun to deal with things by himself, as long as he can take a look at himself after the fact.

Compared with before, it cannot but be said that this is already an improvement.
