Baochai is a happy wife [Red Mansion]

In Rongqingtang, Mrs. Jia's expression changed after hearing Mrs. Xue's words.The other party didn't even think that Mrs. Xue would not agree, and she refused without even saying that she would go back to discuss with Patriarch Xue.

Jia Yuanchun is Mrs. Xue's niece. Old Mrs. Jia looked at Mrs. Xue, "If her mother didn't go to pray for her brother, then it wouldn't be me, an old woman, who would say this. Seriously..."

"Really." Before Madam Jia could speak, Mrs. Xue had already said, "Old lady, when the Xue family decided to donate the money to the emperor, it was destined that the Xue family could not have anything to do with the people in the harem, and it was impossible to participate in it." The struggle for succession."

Don't draw big cakes, don't say that if Jia Yuanchun gives birth to a prince in the future, let alone if Jia Yuanchun's prince becomes the emperor.

Mrs. Xue doesn't even believe this, the Xue family wants to be loyal to the king now.As for whether Jia Yuanchun will have that fate in the future, she doesn't know.If Jia Yuanchun really had that good luck, if he wanted to take revenge on Xue's family, then let's take revenge.

But now, before Jia Yuanchun took revenge on the Xue family, the Xue family would be feared by the emperor first, which is not a good thing.

Mrs. Xue has her own children, so it is impossible to disregard her own children and take care of Jia Yuanchun.That's not something normal people would do. The Xue family is doing well now, and the emperor has given a marriage to Xue Baochai and the second son of Prince Duan.As long as the Xue family doesn't risk their lives, they can continue to be prosperous and rich.

Furthermore, even if Jia Yuanchun could really give birth to a prince, some of the other princes had already grown up, so why would Jia Yuanchun compete with others.Jia Yuanchun did not receive much favor in the harem, and it was unlikely that the emperor would favor Jia Yuanchun's son. Concubine Shu was favored back then. Everyone knew that the emperor favored the third prince.

As a result, everyone in the capital now knows that the third prince wants to fight for the throne, but no one takes him seriously.

It is impossible for Mrs. Xue to listen to Mrs. Jia's words, and it is impossible to give Jia Yuanchun money.

"It's okay to give less." Madam Jia frowned, "If it wasn't for the lack of some, why would I ask you. It's a loan, and I will like you when the time comes."

"Then use less." This is Mrs. Xue's attitude. Jia Yuanchun spent so much money in the palace, while others tightened their belts, this is not right. There is nothing to repay.”

What's more, this is a matter of the Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Jia should not talk about the matter with the four major families.The current four big families are different from the four big families in the early years. They have long since lost their glory in the past, so they should be more cautious.

Mrs. Jia was very upset, Mrs. Xue didn't care about it at all, and left soon.

Wang Xifeng didn't say anything, how could it be useful for a junior like me to speak about something that the old lady couldn't do.

After Mrs. Xue returned home, she told Xue Baochai not to go to Rongguo Mansion in the future. She was afraid that Mrs. Jia would blame the Xue family for being too cruel and heartless.

"It's not like the wind blows the money." Xue Baochai was speechless after learning of Mrs. Jia's actions.

How could the Rongguo Mansion have no money, it's just that they don't want to spend their own money and want nothing but white wolves.

Xue Baochai thought that her mother had done the right thing, so she shouldn't have given money to the Rongguo Mansion, and she shouldn't have given it to Jia Yuanchun.These silver coins cannot be regarded as borrowed, and if they are borrowed, they will never be returned.

Mrs. Xue has said those things so directly in front of Mrs. Jia. If the Xue family wants to come to the door again, Mrs. Jia will be very unhappy and show her face.In that case, it is better not to go.

This Mrs. Jia is also strange, why not go to the Lin family, but to the Xue family, thinking that the Xue family is a merchant, so they should have a lot of money?

Even if the Xue family had money, it was impossible to give Jia Yuanchun flowers for nothing.

"Big cousin knows, I'm afraid she will blame us too." Xue Baochai said with emotion, "But it doesn't matter. A concubine in the harem goes to compete with the emperor for money, is it because she wants to fall out of favor?"

Everyone outside knew that part of the Xue family's money was given to the emperor, and the rest was used for turnover, and the Xue family used it for themselves.

The money earned by a Xue family may not be a lot in the eyes of the emperor, and it is even less compared to the national treasury.But some are just a few. If one has 10,000+ taels of 10 taels of silver, that is also excellent.

Some family may take out these silver coins at will, even if they have it, they still keep it for themselves.

This amount is spent every year, although it will not hurt the muscles and bones, but there will be less money in the hands of future generations, which will invisibly reduce the living standards of some people.

Each of those big families has a deep heritage, and which family is willing to give so much money to the emperor, they all hide it tightly.

Xue Baochai felt that Mrs. Jia's behavior was too eye-catching and displeasing.

For a mansion like Rongguo Mansion, it is impossible for the emperor not to send his eyeliner. I am afraid that the emperor already knows about Mrs. Jia's actions.

The emperor did know about Mrs. Jia's actions, so the Xue family should reject it.One must know that since Jia Yuanchun entered the palace, the total amount of money he has collected is five to six million taels.

This shocked the emperor, Jia Yuanchun really spent a lot of money, and the Rongguo Mansion also put all their eggs in one basket, just wanting Jia Yuanchun to take over.

"Are you thinking about my money, or the Xue family's?" The emperor sneered, probably because Mrs. Jia and the others thought that the Xue family could give money to him, the emperor, so why couldn't they give it to Mrs. Xue's niece.

Maybe they all felt that Jia Yuanchun's relationship with the Xue family was closer, so the Xue family should contribute more money?

The emperor suddenly wanted to see Jia Yuanchun's attitude towards the Xue family, but he didn't need to.It's not that Jia Yuanchun hasn't seen the Xue family, Xue Baochai has been in the palace, Mrs. Xue has been in the palace, Jia Yuanchun didn't say much, it was more like waiting for someone to visit her and please her.

It is estimated that Jia Yuanchun considered herself the number one daughter of the four major families. The emperor didn't think too much about it, because he didn't intend to let Jia Yuanchun give birth to this child at all.

It is enough to have one as stupid as the third prince, there is no need for another one.

The emperor thought of what the third concubine Ji Anya said, that the third prince actually had contact with people in the South China Sea, which made the emperor very angry.Just waiting for the matter in the South China Sea to be dealt with, let the third prince go to farm with the person who sent someone to assassinate the prince earlier. It just so happens that the third prince already has a son, Situ Chengan, isn't Concubine Shu also interested in Situ Chengan? Do you have great hopes?

Then let Situ Chengan be a little prince. The emperor thought that with Ji Anya's intelligence, he should know how to teach children.

Well, the Ji family has to deal with it too.Since the Ji family tried to make trouble with the South China Sea, it would not be treasonous, but it was not much better.

It is impossible for the emperor not to care, he remembers them all.

The eunuch at the side didn't say anything, this Rongguo Mansion was indeed too outrageous, and Jia Yuanchun was also outrageous.

The emperor did not attack Jia Yuanchun directly, but went to the queen, saying that there was a war in the South China Sea, so the palace would save some and provide more food and grass for the front line.

"If they feel uncomfortable, they can ask their natal family for money." The emperor did not name them.

The empress had been married to the emperor for so many years, so she could naturally see what the emperor meant, probably referring to Jia Yuanchun.

Recently, when Jia Yuanchun was pregnant, she paid all kinds of attention, sometimes this was not the case, and that was not the case, she was just worried that something was not good and would affect the child in her womb.

Women's pregnancy itself is sensitive, and it is indeed possible to have such thoughts.It is true that some concubines in the harem may do something to pregnant people, no wonder Jia Yuanchun is so cautious.

The queen is used to it, after all, this is not the first time someone in the harem is pregnant.

It's just that after Jia Yuanchun became pregnant, the emperor said these words again. I'm afraid the Rongguo Mansion did something wrong, and Jia Yuanchun was also wrong.

The queen didn't ask any more questions, this is not what she should ask, she just followed the emperor's wishes.

"There is no shortage of food and clothing in the palace, so how can we not live on?" the emperor said.

"That's true." The queen said with a smile, "In the early years, my concubine heard that some people's families were difficult to get through, so they used the maids from the family to be servants to rich and noble families, just so that the children could have a bite to eat. This is considered good, but Some sell their daughters, in order to sell high marriages, and they don’t care whether their daughters live or die, thinking that they will never see each other in the future, thinking about other people in the family.”

Before she was married, there were maids in the family who were sold by the family, and some who sold themselves.

The life of the poor is difficult, but the concubines in the harem are better, they are not noisy, they have a place to live and food.

"That's right." The emperor agreed with the queen's words, and those people should be content.The emperor admitted that those concubines were born well, but that didn't mean they could spend the money recklessly.

Therefore, the emperor didn't visit Jia Yuanchun more because she was pregnant, instead he went less, saying that he wanted her to take good care of her body and not make her tired.

Under normal circumstances, when a concubine is pregnant, the emperor will visit it more or less a few times, but for Jia Yuanchun, the number of visits is less.This made Jia Yuanchun wonder if she had to spend some money to take care of it, otherwise, after she gave birth to a child, she would not be favored at all, and life might not be easy.

As the days went by, Xue Baochai only studied cosmetics and sold cosmetics, and attended banquets, nothing else.

There is a lot less fun these days, and Xue Baochai wants to go to the Taoist temple to make alchemy.

On this day, the eldest concubine of Prince Duan's mansion held a banquet, so she also called Xue Baochai over.Xue Baochai has not yet married into Prince Duan's residence, so he is considered a guest.

The concubine's cousin was also there, but when that cousin saw Xue Baochai's eyes were either eyes or nose, she just looked down on Xue Baochai.

"Cousin." Shi Zifei couldn't help frowning when she saw her cousin's enthusiasm for other people and looked at Xue Baochai coldly and disdainfully.

She has no opinion on what kind of woman Shizi's younger brother wants to marry, but her cousin is stupid.She couldn't do it either, her grandmother asked her to take this cousin with her, and her aunt also wanted this cousin to marry Duan Mujin, so there were not so many conflicts when she said that the cousins ​​were sisters-in-law.

Heh, the cousins ​​are all married into the same family, so what is it like to be the son of someone else's family... Even ordinary people seldom do this, the most important thing is the status of her cousin, her status is much lower than that of Xue Baochai, and she is not from an aristocratic family The daughter of the official family is either the daughter of the official family or the daughter of the merchant.

If the Xue family has no title and is a merchant, then the family is also an imperial merchant, which is still different.The concubine Shi Zi felt a headache, so couldn't her cousin look at other people?
