The alternative life of the clever sister of the Red Chamber

Li Yanwan managed to catch her breath, and just said with a smile: "Forget it, at this juncture, it is better to be quiet than to move, even the eleventh younger brother knows to hide outside, what is the identity of the head of the courtyard, he always only goes to the Queen Mother Palace If you go to invite him, he may not dare not to come, but it is troublesome now, so don’t cause trouble in vain.” Seeing Zhao Minglan’s uneasy expression, Li Yanwan persuaded with a smile, “Don’t be upset, although now It's not the right time, and now I'm just waiting for the day when the name will be justified in the future."

These words hit Zhao Minglan's mind, he turned his anger into joy, and patted Li Yanwan's hand with a smile, "You still understand my thoughts!"

The husband and wife were talking, when a maid outside came to report, "My lord, my concubine, someone from the Qiuwu courtyard said that Brother Bao is not feeling well, please come over and have a look."

Zhao Minglan frowned, "I'm not feeling well, so I went to ask the doctor. What do you want me to do! Concubine Fang is becoming more and more disciplined. Go to Fang's house tomorrow and ask if this is Fang's tutor!"

These words were already very serious, and the maid hurriedly lowered her head and went out to answer.

Zhao Minglan paced back and forth in the room, and Li Yanwan knew that Zhao Minglan was angry at a glance, she hurried over and brought a cup of tea, "Don't be angry, my lord, side concubine Fang is young after all, she is a first-time mother, Brother Bao My son is sick, it is inevitable that I will lose my sense of proportion. Don't care about her like her."

Zhao Minglan was in a hurry, "I thought that the Fang family was a scholarly family with a good family education. Her status is enough to be the mother of the prince's heirs. Who knows, now she has become complacent. You are not in good health. I will allow them to be side concubines." The position is also to let them assist you, so as to avoid troubles. Now, they are so indulged! Yanwan, I intend to open a separate yard in the front yard. If it is a boy, all of them should be moved to the front. First, so as not to become a way for the biological mother to invite favor, and second, to reduce the influence of female relatives on him, so as not to grow up in the hands of women and have a gentle personality. Yan Wan, What do you think?"

Li Yanwan pondered for a moment, "If only the boys are moved and the girls are not moved, those concubines who have children will feel dissatisfied. If things go on like this, it will not be conducive to the stability of the back house. Why don't we move the girls too! How old is the most suitable age for the prince to move there?"

Zhao Minglan thought for a while and said: "Boys should move over when they turn two years old, girls? Let's turn five years old! Boys can go to the biological mother's place for half an hour on the first and fifteenth day of every month. Girls, let's relax! Every month [-]. You can go to the birth mother’s place for half an hour on every fifth, seventh, and ninth day. Let’s discuss this matter tomorrow!”

Li Yanwan said with a smile: "I am the one to say this matter, others are fine. I am afraid Fang Fangfei will be the first to dissatisfy. Why don't the prince announce it in person when he pays his respects tomorrow?"

Zhao Minglan nodded, "I know how disrespectful she has been to you since she had Brother Bao. One more thing, no matter whether you are a brother or a sister in the house, you must greet your aunt every morning and evening. , must not be violated."

Li Yanwan knew that he was thinking of herself, she nodded with a smile, "Thank you, my lord."

Zhao Minglan supported Li Yanwan's waist, let her sit down, held her hand and said with a smile: "There is no need to say thank you between you and me!"

On the second day, when the concubines, concubines and concubines came to pay their respects, seeing the prince was there, they were overjoyed at first, and each looked at their own makeup and clothing, hoping to attract more attention from the prince.

But after Zhao Minglan spoke, everyone was stunned. The first person who realized it was Fang Fangfei, because she gave birth to the first brother in the palace, and she always thought that she was different, very arrogant, and she didn't usually Don't use Brother Bao to lure the prince into his yard. Now that the prince has come like this, wouldn't he have lost his way?Concubine Fang immediately burst into tears.

The same is true for the side concubines and concubines. As women in the back house, their offspring have always been their foundation.Among them, having a son is more pleasant than having a daughter.Everyone wants to have a son so that they can keep their glory and wealth for the rest of their lives, and only want to give birth to a daughter after the second best.Now it seems that having a son is not as good as having a daughter.I can only see it twice a month after giving birth to a son, half an hour each time.If things go on like this, how can there be a mother-child relationship?

Concubine Fang Fang cried and stood in front of the prince and said a lot of words, implying that the princess had ulterior motives and deceived the prince.After all, the biggest beneficiary of the prince's decision this time is the princess.

Zhao Minglan glanced at her impatiently, "It seems that you didn't take what my king said yesterday at all! The princess is the aunt of all brothers and sisters, and she deserves to be filial to her aunt and be steadfast in the morning and evening! How dare you be dissatisfied? This king really should talk to Mr. Fang about the family education of the Fang family! With your character, how dare you educate this king’s son, you will not be delayed! From now on, you are not allowed See you again, Brother Bao! Come, someone, take Bao to the concubine first! Tomorrow, when the front is cleaned up, ask someone to move to the front."

Fang Fangfei's face was pale, her body swayed and she passed out.

Concubine Li Shu's face turned pale, but Sister Ling is a girl, and she can see her more than ten times a month, which is much better than Concubine Fang Fang.I thought that I always gave birth to a daughter and felt a little inadequate. Now, it seems that I really have to be thankful that I gave birth to a daughter.

Concubine Yang over there was sitting on the chair, stroking her belly unconsciously with her hands, and her heart was a little complicated. If she was a man, she would be safe for the rest of her life.However, this child can only stay by his side for less than two years, and when he moved to the front yard, he was still at the stage of ignorance. Even if he has feelings for his biological mother, there probably isn't much left!And I have to go to the concubine every day to say hello, I guess I will treat the concubine better than the biological mother in the future!

However, even so, having a son is better than having a daughter.Concubine Yang rubbed her belly and smiled faintly.Concubine Fang Fang seems to be in trouble, Brother Bao seems to be doing well now, but I don't know what will happen in the future!

The news about the Prince's Mansion of Anping County spread quickly. After the Holy Majesty knew about it, he even praised Zhao Minglan.

The Jia family also knew about this matter, and when they greeted Jia Mu, Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Although the king of Anping's move is a bit unreasonable, in the long run, it is very good. "

Since Lin Daiyu got married and Jia Wan left, Jia's mother has been a little mentally ill, and she has aged a lot, and now she likes to be more lively. Hearing what Xue Baochai said, she asked with interest: "Oh? Why do you say that?"

Xue Baochai knew that Jia Mu's ears were not sensitive recently, so she leaned up to Jia Mu and said, "Old lady, think about it, if there are such short-sighted and unvirtuous women who ignore the safety of their children and blindly invite favors and flattery, On the contrary, it is not good. Although the prince's move is ethically inappropriate, it is extremely appropriate in the long run."

Jia Mu nodded, "Speaking of heirs, you and Baoyu have been married for some time, but is there any good news?"

Xue Baochai paused slightly, blushing and stopped talking.

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Old lady, it's not like you don't know that Baoyu is studying very hard now, and Bao girl is a virtuous person. They are still young, and they have plenty of opportunities!"

Jia Tanchun said with a smile: "Yes! When the second elder brother wins the toad palace, wouldn't it be double happiness?"

Mother Jia sighed, "Now, I only want my children and grandchildren to be around their knees and share the family happiness. Now, there are fewer and fewer people in our family. The second girl came in with her fat boy in her arms. Me, I really wanted to hug him, but unfortunately I was afraid of falling him. Now, I only think about when I hear the happy event of the two Yu'er and I will be happy."

Before the words fell, I heard Hu Po's surprised voice outside, "Old lady, great joy, great joy!"

Everyone looked outside, and Hu Po opened the curtain and ran in quickly, smiling at Mother Jia, "Old lady, great joy, great joy. Just now the Yang family sent someone to announce the good news, saying that their grandma is happy!"

Mother Jia didn't realize it for a while, "Who? Grandma Yang? Who is it?"

Xue Baochai reacted first, "Old lady, I'm so happy, it's sister Lin who is happy!"

Mother Jia sat up excitedly, held Xue Baochai's hand and asked, "Is it your sister Lin who is happy? Is it true?"

Hu Po said with a smile: "It's true. Xue Yan came back to announce the good news in person. He is on the way now. As soon as the servants heard the good news, they rushed to announce the good news to the old lady. Congratulations to the old lady!"

Jia Mu narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Okay! Great joy, great joy! Hurry up, Yuanyang, I have a white jade ruyi in my storeroom. Go find it and let Xueyan take it back for Yu'er's pregnancy. By the way, And the mandarin duck and the Heruyi screen, also brought back to Xueyan."

Jiamu asked Yuanyang to take some good things again, and wanted to send them to Lin Daiyu.

Mrs. Wang watched from the side, feeling a little dissatisfied, just now she was still defending Xue Baochai, but now she looked at Xue Baochai with some dissatisfaction, as long as she lives up to her spirit, these good things will not be cheap to others.

How could Xue Baochai not notice Madam Wang's eyes like this, she lowered her head and smiled bitterly, now that Baoyu is studying more seriously, and if she doesn't come close to her in leisure, even if she sees her every day, she just talks respectfully.How many people are there who are as harmonious as Sister Lin and her husband-in-law!

Seeing this, Mrs. Xing looked at it with a smile. On the day Yingchun gave birth, Jia's mother also gave a lot of good things, so she was happy to watch the excitement of the second room at this time.Then he approached Jia Mu with a smile and said, "The old lady is overjoyed. First, she welcomed the girl to give the old lady a grandson, and now it's the eldest girl's turn. The elder brother took the younger brother to run away. Next year, Baoyu's daughter-in-law will be happy again. The old lady This Rongqing hall is going to be lively again."

Mother Jia smiled and nodded, "You are right, my brother ran away with my younger brother. With your good words, I hope Yu'er can also get a man in one fell swoop."
