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

Chapter 87

Xu Yuanchun's words on that day finally settled the mind of Princess Duanqin, there is no use waiting until the next time Mrs. Wang enters the palace, only ten or so days later when Baoqin is in time to meet her natal family, then Her mother got the news, only said that the second girl in the mansion is discussing marriage with the Wang's mansion, and it is a marriage of wealth and honor.

When my cousin got married, Yuan Chun was supposed to add make-up to her, but now it is only the beginning, and the sixth ceremony has only just begun to accept the lottery, and there is still more than half a year before the wedding, so there is no rush , just asked Yuan Chun to tell Tu Mingjun what he said casually.

"The uncle in the concubine's family won the title of grandfather. Although the second sister is a concubine, she is the only girl. Her family background is not very low. It's just that the first uncle disappeared before the cousin was born. Then In order not to wrong the original wife's son, the stepmother hired by the uncle is just the daughter of a seventh-rank official who lost his father and mother. Lian's younger brother is nothing more than that, and he is not brought up by the stepmother. Cowardly enough to be so cowardly that she can't be stabbed by a needle, but if the mother-in-law and sister-in-law are not good, they are very easy to get angry. The princess of the Duanwang family is kind, and the only decent son-in-law there is still young, although the eldest son Since childhood, because of the benevolence of the prince and concubine, he was raised in the mansion according to the rules of the world, but he did not enter the jade certificate. It seemed that his status was a bit embarrassing on the outside, but he was a bit too high. Her own son is young, and she also has selfishness and wants to find an adopted son and daughter-in-law who are honest and not causing trouble, and she will take good care of her adopted son with all her heart, so that when her own son grows up, her adopted son will already be too powerful, and instead will be attacked by her own children. The noble is causing trouble. It just so happens that the younger sister, the concubine, is honest and responsible, and no one can compare. Although the family of Duan Wang is super-class, it is a clan, which is different from the opposite-sex officials and nobles. He doesn't have any serious errands in his family, and he has a young son, and according to the calculation of the concubine, it would not be a grievance to marry a concubine's daughter of a first-rank general." Yuan Chun showed to Tu Ming that his sister was well-rounded. Good marriage, I still don't forget to remind Tu Mingjun what I have said before, "At that time, the concubine will just give some gold and jade ornaments for makeup, so I don't have to worry about it anymore. Among the children in the family, the cousin of the Lin family was originally agreed by the Holy Majesty. For those who look after my concubine, wait a few more years for my concubine to beg the sage to give my younger brother a good girl with a beautiful quality and a heart, so that I don't have to worry about my mother's family anymore."

It is often said that the power of the pillow wind is infinite, and there are many officials who are thinking about sending their daughters to the inner garden of the palace. It is not because they want to add some wealth and support to their families-this harem concubine has always spoken good things to her family in front of the emperor. Seeking officials, jobs, and wealth, I don't know how many benefits I can get, but Yuan Chun is a fool, who only asks for some favors from his sons and daughters.

Pian Yuanchun also plausibly said: "Concubines also have selfish intentions to favor their natal family, but this marriage is a matter of a lifetime, so I have to ask the Holy One to look after me, so as to save delays. Needless to say, my sisters will be honored and favored throughout their lives." It is tied to the husband and son-in-law, and the age difference between the only younger brother and the concubine is very large. He was hugged by the concubine from the time he was born until he entered the palace when he was two or three years old. I learned one sentence, so I naturally hope that everything will go smoothly for him. As for the affairs of the previous court, firstly, the harem is not allowed to do the previous court affairs, secondly, the concubine does not understand these things, and thirdly, as long as the concubine stands in front of the Holy One, if the future The family members are really capable and meritorious, the Holy One will not treat them badly, thinking about it, I don’t need my concubine to work hard, if I don’t have the ability, I will just make good marriages for the family members, and I will protect them in the future. Much better to get into trouble."

As for the people in her natal family, Yuan Chun had seen and understood them in her dream. To say something disrespectful would be more than a success and a failure—she was not in a good situation in the dream, so she tried to help her father I asked for an errand in education and politics.Learning politics is just dealing with scholars, not only is it easy to get credit, but it is not difficult, and it is also a good job to attract people's hearts. Even in this way, Jia Zheng can almost get into trouble because of the indiscretion of the people around him.

So this time, Yuan Chun simply didn't want to meddle in other people's business—there are already official errands, if Jia Zheng and Jia Lian are really capable, then they only care about the face of the Duke's mansion and Yuan Chun's status, and there is no need for Yuan Chun to say anything Well, even their superiors can't forget them, but if they don't have any skills, Yuan Chun would rather wait for the next generation to grow up.

Not to mention, Jia Lan will grow up in ten years at most. Although Yuan Chun can't say that he can still be pampered for ten years, but it must be no matter whether it is the son-in-law of Yingchun now, or the disciple Jinghuai who is raised under his knees in another ten years. They are also people who can support Jalan in the future.

Although it was not easy for Yuan Chun to express these thoughts directly to Tu Mingjun, they were not less subtle when he was in the palace on weekdays, especially in front of Xiuyan.

Mo Xiang and Le'er were both asked to come from Tu Mingxuan on the bright road in Yuanchun. Although they don't avoid it on weekdays, it would be too fake to tell them what's in their hearts. The person who is Tu Mingjun, but after all, came secretly, but Yuan Chun usually pretended to regard her as a trusted friend, but he was able to say a few words from his heart.

Based on the evidence of the two, Tu Mingjun had no doubts about Yuan Chun's statement.

Moreover, although Prince Duan is close to the lineage of the Holy One, he is no match for the decent princes. When Prince Lao Duan was around, he was still favored. After the old Prince Duan was gone, the princes gradually grew up, making Duan The prince was useless, and hadn't had any job for many years.

It may not be good for a concubine's natal family to be married to a powerful official, but it is really not worrying to be married to someone like King Duan-especially in Yuanchun when there is no prince by his side and the loyal prince is still young. Don't worry about her trying to win over power or something.

Earlier, Yuanchun was talking about the first five girls in the family, but now only Yingchun and Baochai have reached the age of marriage - Baochai finally chose a Jinshi of this subject, which is not necessary to mention to Tu Mingxuan.

Although the family Baochai chose was not very good, it seemed to be pretty good considering her background.The young Jinshi originally came from a poor family background, and his knowledge was excellent, but his luck was not good. He originally got married, but not long after the marriage was settled, the girl died of illness, which made the man fall. He has a reputation of suppressing his wife, but this time he has just won the Jinshi but has not had time to make up for the vacancy, and the old mother at home is seriously ill. Although he is still alive now, he is just struggling to survive.

Although this person has already been selected as a Jinshi, but he has not yet filled the vacancy, and seeing that he is going to be a filial piety, no one who wants to catch a son-in-law may not be able to choose this person.Only the merchants of the Xue family wanted to change their families, and they only valued that this person could be regarded as an official because of his Jinshi background, so he was very happy.

Besides, the Xue family still has relatives from the Jia family. If you marry a poor family Jinshi, you are still married. Although there are still brothers, sisters-in-law and sisters in the family when you marry in the future, with her scheming skills, she will definitely be able to be the master of the family in the future. Lord, it's not bad at all.

Although the power of the Jia family is not as good as it used to be, it is not difficult to fill a position for a well-established two-rank Jinshi.The son-in-law of Xue's family is a filial son. He went home to serve his mother after the exam. He didn't think much of it, but his classmates who knew him took the initiative to visit after hearing about it. The future is worried for a while.

Then, because the old lady was worried about the second son's marriage, she led him to Baochai's marriage.

"Brother Zhonghe is a filial man, but even though he has already won the Jinshi, but because of your talent, you also pay attention to luck in your official career. If Brother Zhonghe wants to develop in your official career, it is also very important to have a family relationship. The Xue family here originally wanted to change their families, because merchants were not allowed to take the imperial examination, but they wanted to tell their daughter a son-in-law who studied and became an official, and her family was born in an imperial merchant, and the head wife in the family had two good relatives, one elder brother was Feng Jiang Senior official, one of the sisters is the head wife of the Duke's Mansion, and there is also a noble concubine in the mansion, so this marriage will be beneficial to Zhonghe's official career in the future." Several generations of the Liu family Liu Zhonghe's eldest brother was also a scholar from a farming background, but his talent for reading is not high. The first two younger brothers in the family are also studying, but they have not yet achieved fame. Even Liu Zhonghe's mother is also a scholar. His daughter, although she has never experienced these things in the officialdom, knows a little bit, and naturally understands the benefits of this marriage.

Although the status of merchants in the scholars, farmers, industries and commerce is not high, but why they can look taller if they occupy the emperor character, and they have so many capable relatives, so they are naturally the most suitable people.

Moreover, the old lady also has selfish intentions. She has not much time left. If she keeps her filial piety, her son's career will be even more difficult. Moreover, if she is gone, the family must be divided. The family property is not rich. After the division, it will inevitably become thinner. For the sake of the second son's official career and the unmarried daughter, it is better for the new bride's dowry to be generous.

Therefore, Baochai's marriage was settled quickly, but the old lady in the family was already seriously ill, and she died before Baochai got married, so Baochai's marriage had to be postponed. It's been three years.

A digression is that the Liu family was divided before the old lady died, and the already thin family property was divided into five shares. Except for the eldest son, the remaining two sons and one daughter each got one share, and the three married sons each got one share. After leaving, the only youngest daughter, Liu Jiniang, brought her own family property to reconcile with the second son Liu Zhong.

"Erlang will be able to be an official in the future, but it will be easier for Ji Niang to get a good marriage with him in the future, and the Xue family that Erlang ordered is a daughter of a family, and it is good fortune that Ji Niang can be educated by her." She is a peasant girl, and the third daughter-in-law is the daughter of an old boy, even if they are not comparable to Xue Baochai's background, it is true.When the family was separated, only the old lady's own three sons and a daughter were by her side. These three sons were all scholars, and they had the aloofness of scholars, so they didn't care about family property or anything, so they agreed without any objections.

But this has nothing to do with Yuanchun. Although Baochai is not married yet, since the marriage is settled, Yuanchun's task has been completed. Waiting for another two years to marry each of Baoyu and Daiyu, Yuanchun will really be able to Never mind.As for the rest of Tanchun Xichun, if Yuanchun can still remember it, it's kindness to do it conveniently, and it's okay if you can't remember it.
