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

Chapter 89

Although because of Yuan Chun's many actions this time, things in Jia's family have changed a lot.

For example, because Yuan Chun agreed to be a matchmaker for Baochai, Aunt Xue was so focused on looking for a good marriage that she never thought of celebrating Baochai's big birthday, so Shi Xiangyun didn't come to Jia's house for a few days and didn't startle anyone afterwards. Bo Lan went back to Shi's house.There was no Grand View Garden on the other side, and she didn't make a decree to let her family live in another courtyard, so there was no disturbance in choosing a garden.Also because Yuanchun did not make a decree, there was no movement of the Qingxu Temple on the first day of May.But this still can't change the fact that Qiguan escaped and Jinchai'er jumped into the well, which made Jia Zheng beat Baoyu hard.

That happened on the sixth day of May. When she was able to enter the palace on the twelfth day of the fifth month, Mrs. Wang couldn't wait to tell Yuan Chun about Baoyu's beating.

"I'm about 50 years old now, only this evil obstacle, if her brother is still there, why should I not be like this." Even though it has been several days, because Baoyu was beaten this time, it was really hurt. Yes, Mrs. Wang still couldn't hold back her distressed tears when she mentioned this matter.

Although Yuan Chun also loves his younger brother, he is closer to Jia Zhu. When Mrs. Wang mentioned her elder brother, she didn't think of Baoyu first, but couldn't help feeling sad for Jia Zhu.

"Things have already happened, and even though I am an imperial concubine, I have to pay attention to filial piety. It's not easy to say anything about my father, but Brother Huan is really not a good person. It is a big mistake for this concubine to disrespect his brother no matter where he is. There is no such reason in any family. Although Tan girl and Huan'er just crawled out of the aunt's belly, they are also father's children after all. Originally, I thought that they were still connected by flesh and blood. This time, even the Xue family The cousins ​​of the Lin family are all thinking of pulling out, and in the future they will not be short of Tan Yatou and Huan'er. Now it seems that Ben Gong has no good intentions. I thought that at least I would choose a house for Tan Yatou, just like welcoming a girl. Marriage, now it seems that there is no need to bother, just choose what is good for Baoyu, and marriage like the first three aunts and wives is good." Jia Min is Jia Daishan's fourth daughter, although the first three concubines are also They were all raised by gold and jade, but in terms of marriage, they only found a son-in-law with a good face-although the face is not bad, it is also a marriage that is beneficial to their own family. But these days are not as comfortable as Jia Min's marriage.

It seems that this incident was originally Baoyu's fault, but it can't stand that both Mrs. Wang and Yuanchun are biased towards Baoyu in their hearts, so they can only blame Jia Huan, who is sowing discord.Yuanchun still wants to choose a good marriage for Tanchun, but Yuanchun is unwilling to think about how Tanchun's life will be.

After all, who told Jiang Yuhan not to be from his own family and far away in the sky, and the gold hairpin is gone, and Jia Huan is the only trigger for this matter, so you have to blame him, Tanchun and Jia Huan have the same mother Compatriots, don't be angered by Yuan Chun.

But Yuan Chun remembered another thing after hearing this.

"If it's just these two things, it probably wouldn't be the case. Although Zhongshun is the title of a prince, so is the second girl's husband's family. There is really no need to be afraid of them in our family. Besides, whether it's a beautiful official or a golden hairpin, they are all cheap. If it was just for the two of them, my father would just scold or slap her as a show if she was angry. My father always valued Baoyu's studies, so maybe something happened to her." Yuan Chun said Knowing that although Baoyu has always had the ability to read, but he has no interest in imperial examinations, he thought of simply using this to set him aside.

Yuanchun asked about other things. Mrs. Wang has always cared about Baoyu, and she could always answer questions. Pian Yuanchun asked about studying—it was due to the upbringing of the Wang family. Very literate, let alone know how Baoyu reads.

"I don't understand these things, but I just heard from people around Baoyu that they are very good. When my mother returned to the province, the plaques at home were all inscribed by Baoyu. I think it is very good." Mrs. Wang can only reply some General words, not specific.

These words were true, but Yuan Chun, who knew the character of the Jia family's servant, did not believe them.

"I am the master now, but I have also served others. The servants in this family have always been good at deceiving. They can always answer well based on what you ask. The people around Baoyu naturally want to respect him. Yes, but this statement is not particularly credible. Mother might as well ask the people around her if there is anyone who can read and write, and find a reason to distract the big girl next to him to look at Baoyu's study and take a look at Baoyu's recent homework. "Yuan Chun frowned and thought for a while, and decided to figure it out first, "I am no more looking forward to Baoyu's future than my mother, I just hope that he will be safe and happy. If Baoyu has the ambition, he must study the imperial examination and become an official. That's all, if he doesn't love these things, my current status can always be both, mother just ask Baoyu's thoughts more, if she only wants to be a celebrity, it's also good." With Yuanchun's current status, if Baoyu's future is of course dependent on it, but if Baoyu doesn't love these things, she doesn't force it.

"Now I am raising His Royal Highness, no matter what happens in the future, he will be my daughter's support. I am not young anymore. If I still have the blessing to give birth, it will be the best. If I don't have this blessing, I will ask the Lord to give it to me when the prince grows up." It's good to have an emperor concubine. We already have a prince's grandson in our family, and we don't need to be too powerful. If Baoyu is lucky enough to become a contemporary celebrity, it's not bad at all compared to being a general and a prime minister. He can influence us The family is rich, and there is nothing missing from him." Yuan Chun looked at Mrs. Wang's uneasy face, but carefully comforted her, "Although Baoyu has aura, the way of the imperial examination is not easy. I don't know how many crimes my elder brother suffered during the imperial examination. How can Baoyu endure the love of thousands of pampers since he was a child? Even the number one scholar is no more than a sixth grade. The most important thing is seniority, anyone who can reach the first and second ranks at the age of four or fifty can be considered a great talent."

The reason why Mrs. Wang hesitated was because she thought that she was only a fifth-rank and pleasant edict. If she waited for Baoyu to become an official, she might be able to earn a first- or second-rank wife's edict for herself, but after Yuan Chun's analysis, she immediately This heart is dead.

Baoyu was born in Madam Wang's 30s. Now Baoyu is only 14 years old, but Madam Wang is nearly 80. When Baoyu is promising in the next [-] years, Madam Wang will be in her [-]s. , but it may not be possible to wait.

At the moment, he stopped thinking about it, and turned to worry about Yuanchun.

"Prince Yizhong is so caring. After all, he was not born by the empress. Although the empress loves him, she still needs to have a real prince to rely on. This time I specifically asked the empress from Baoyu's godmother. Here is a talisman, just put it in your close purse, and you are sure to have good news within two months." Although Yuan Chun's status is very high, but he has no heirs after all, it is impossible for the Rongguo Mansion not to worry about Yuan Chun's situation. Madam, as Yuan Chun's own mother, is the one who is most worried, "Ma Daopo has always been very effective, and you don't have to worry about it after your mother gives birth to the prince."

Because Baoyu was an old man, his health was not considered good after birth, so the Rongguo Mansion found someone to worship Baoyu as a named godmother, a very moral woman.Although everyone outside knew that this woman was a black-hearted woman, Mrs. Wang had always believed in this woman. Yuan Chun thought carefully that she was Baoyu's godmother, and she didn't remember any harm this woman would do to her family in the future. don't say anything.It's just that this spell or something is impossible, Yuan Chun can't and dare not take it.

Although Yuan Chun knew in his heart that his mother didn't want to take advantage of her, but Yuan Chun also remembered that his mother always loved her in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have tried every means to hand her money into the palace when she was wasting her time in the harem and basically had no hope of getting ahead.It's just that Mrs. Wang has a little knowledge after all. Although she feels sorry for Yuan Chun, she is prone to use faint tricks sometimes.

So when Yuan Chun heard this, his pretty face turned cold, and he refused to let Bao Qin go to pick up the purse handed over by Mrs. Wang.

"Although my wife loves me, she doesn't know the rules in this palace. The royal family has always believed in gods and Buddhas but tabooed witchcraft. I can't take this thing. If my mother is for my own good, she will quietly burn it when she goes back. Don't let anyone I know. Although the prince is not my own, but he is a grateful and considerate child, no worse than his own. I will always rely on him in the future, but I don’t need to go this crooked way. And the old lady in the family is more than 30 I was able to give birth to the fourth aunt when I was young, and the fourth aunt gave birth to Lin's cousin when she was thirty, and Baoyu was born when her mother was nearly forty. It can be seen that our family is rich in children, but we don't have to worry about these things. The daughter is only in her twenties now, so it’s not a big deal. If the mother is concerned about her daughter’s body, she might as well pass me a few more effective prescriptions to take care of her when she comes back. As for the matter of having children , when the fate comes, it will come naturally." Yuan Chun really has a headache for the life in her natal family who sometimes lives endlessly.

Except for Yuan Chun who got a warning like this, which concubine didn't think about having a child of her own. Although Yuan Chun looks sensible in front of everyone now, she didn't know how much bitter medicine she swallowed in her dream in order to have a prince by her side. But he broke his own body, so he can understand Mrs. Wang's thoughts at this moment.

If Mrs. Wang gave her some prescriptions for recuperating her body and even helping her conceive, although she may not be able to use them, she can always get her mother's wishes—it's just that witchcraft is absolutely forbidden in the royal family Yes, this so-called child-seeking charm is just placed outside the palace, but if it is inside this palace, it becomes a life-threatening thing.

Although Mrs. Wang has no culture, she doesn't understand what Yuan Chun is worried about. She just thinks that these things are not very popular outside the palace. It is not surprising that the rules in the palace are stricter. It is inevitable that I will lose some face once, but there are no outsiders around to see it, so it doesn't matter.

The author has something to say:

Ma Daopo did harm Baoyu and Wang Xifeng, but in the original book, monk Dao rescued the people, and it didn't mention whether Ma Daopo had found out the people who were harmed by Ma Daopo.Ma Daopo is Baoyu's godmother, and she has repeatedly obtained money from Mrs. Jia Muwang. Everyone will think that she must be closer to Jia Baoyu, and will not suspect that she is the one who caused the murder. My assumption here is that Yuan Chun is not I know who the person who harmed Baoyu before was—even when I wrote about the affairs in the palace, I forgot about it for a while, so let’s pretend that Yuanchun didn’t know
