The Promotion of Yuanchun in the Red Chamber

Ordinarily, Jia Rong really did not feel ashamed of Yuan Chun's painstaking efforts. She left his indescribable father and went to Daying in the north, which is the territory of the prince. On the contrary, life was much better than at home. , and there are a bunch of temper-loving brothers who live and die by their side...

This is what a good man should do!

Although Jia Rong is less than twenty, she understands the truth: it is much better to endure hardships in the north than to waste time at home!

And because he felt that his aunt was very amiable, he often wrote letters to his aunt, especially when he said that there were few people around him who were born worse than him, and each of them had their own merits - he didn't show it on the surface, but he was more or less in his heart. perturbed.Moreover, he was sent by the prince, and his boss secretly took care of him in many ways. If he couldn't make any contribution, he would be so embarrassing that he would bury himself.

When Yuan Chun received the letter, he was relieved and still replied earnestly: always "hanging out" with people who are not as good as him, what can he do?What kind of skill is he capable of than a straw bag?In the end, she wrote with great anticipation: It is up to you to revitalize the Ningfu.

As soon as these words came out, Jia Rong thought more and more deeply: In addition to the talents of the two Dukes of Ning Rong, being with the right person is the key to becoming a knight.

Unlike Jia Lian, the cousin of the Rong Mansion, Jia Rong never thought of selling it for a price, and he even persuaded his uncle: If there is no prince to help, uncle, you have donated the acquaintance for many years, and you have never made up Really missing?Seeing that the prince...is too busy to take care of himself, why are you still holding on?

So a letter from home without any water in it was sent to Yuan Chun's desk the next day. Besides the serious business, he also complained about his uncle, and at the request of his good brother, he asked Jing Jing at the end of the letter. The most important thing is to ask him and his brothers how to behave in the future: this can be regarded as the first month of near water.

However, since Yuan Chun gave birth to Jian Er and gained a firm foothold in the mansion, the posts and gift lists made by wives and wives everywhere have never been broken like snowflakes.

Although Zhao Zhizhen can't say that he loves his concubine and kills his wife, but he only needs to inquire a little bit, and he will know who in the palace speaks and the prince will definitely listen to him.When it came time to give gifts, in addition to what Princess Han deserved, many people would specially send some good things to Yuan Chun, the side concubine.

In this way, reading and answering letters and preparing to return gifts became a serious job for Yuanchun.There is still a small baby in my belly, and I feel uncomfortable from time to time. Yuan Chun can only deal with it together when he is more energetic. At this moment, Jian'er is going for a ride with his brother.

Turning to Brother Rong's letter, Yuan Chun couldn't help smiling after reading it hastily, and then pressed the letter under the paperweight, waiting for the prince to come and have an explanation.With the help of Baoqin and Aomei, Yuanchun picked and sorted out the answers that needed to be written in person, and handed over the rest to Shi, the head of the palace.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were no outsiders, Yuan Chun told the two girls about their lifelong events: they are both in their twenties.

Ao Mei is fine, she didn't enter the palace with her in her previous life, she married a down-to-earth man, and it is said that her life is pretty good; as for Baoqin, following her has not enjoyed the blessings, and has suffered a lot...

In her previous life, she couldn't take care of herself, but in this life, she has to make up for everything.

As soon as Yuan Chun opened his mouth, the meaning was already very clear, "After all these years with me, you... are all big girls too."

Aomei and Baoqin stood up together, looked at each other with blushing faces, and then almost unanimously argued, "The servant does not marry, and will always serve you, concubine."

Yuan Chun smiled and said: "You follow me with all your heart and effort, I can make you come to a bad end?"

When the two of them heard this, their faces became even redder - even a little bright red.

It would be a lie to say that the two of them have no vision for the future, and at the same time, they also firmly believe that Yuan Chun will not treat them badly.

Here at the concubine's side, as long as you obey the rules, don't mix right and wrong, and do your work with your heart, you don't have to worry about everything... In addition, looking at the two items of "I can see the prince almost every day, and let the prince remember his name", I don't know how many people there are. People are willing to give up all their wealth, sharpen their heads and rush here, in order to be able to serve in front of the side concubine.

Therefore, leaving the side concubine because of marriage, the two of them were very reluctant in their hearts: whether it was because of love or profit.

How can Baoqin and Aomei hide this thought from Yuanchun?

Yuan Chun said with a smile again: "My lord said, the fat and water don't flow into outsiders' fields." Among the lord's soldiers, there are many good boys who are single, "Tell me back to the lord, find a chance for you to meet the last one secretly." back."

Baoqin and Aomei were even more ashamed and couldn't lift their heads.

Yuan Chun also stopped torturing these two thin-skinned good girls, "You two are married, so naturally you will follow me."

Most of the dowry girls who are cited as confidantes have two ways out: let the master give it to the male master and then "order"; or marry the son of the mansion.

Baoqin and Aomei only looked at how the prince and side concubine get along with each other, so they didn't think about the first way.The two who originally thought they would take the second path were somewhat delighted to have this future: No matter how low the rank of the prince's personal soldiers is, they are still decent officials!The two of them...are they going to become official wives?

Although the seventh-rank officials in front of the Prime Minister's door, Baoqin and Aomei's family is not short of flattery, and the two have seen a lot of world affairs with Yuan Chun: there are many decent wives of first or second rank who come to make friends with side concubines.

Therefore, even if they are the prince's personal soldiers, this rank really won't make the two smart girls feel rare, but they can't help being overjoyed when they think that they have followed the side concubine and thus have a career path, and they still follow the side concubine after marriage.

So when Zhao Zhizhen came back at night, seeing the two girls who were still smiling, he asked curiously, "What happy event happened?"

Yuan Chun replied: "Isn't it a happy event to arrange the lifelong events of the two of them?"

"That's fine. Get the roster later, and you can choose who you want."

Yuan Chun responded with a smile, ordered the girls to prepare meals, and poured hot tea for the prince.

Zhao Zhizhen held the tea bowl and asked, "Where's Jianer?"

"Learning to ride a horse from my uncle. The snow has melted in the past few days, and he can be regarded as pestering my uncle to make a fuss."

However, it said that there were several heavy snowfalls in the first month, and Jianer couldn’t enjoy himself making snowmen and throwing snowballs in the garden. With small arms and short legs, they are quite different from my own mother, so I stood up after a little thumping.At this time, the servant who was serving close to him just stretched out his hand to check whether the little ancestor was injured.

Jianer was fine, and was still giggling happily when he was picked up by the waiter.However, Zhao Han was taken aback. Since then, he has been staring at his younger brother, not daring to let him leave him one foot away.

Afterwards, Zhao Han came to "complain", Yuan Chun imagined the scene at that time, and was so happy that he couldn't straighten up.

Thanks carefully to this good brother who is dedicated and dedicated, but she still does her own way: let the athlete be alive and kicking.She just asked Jianer's servants and nurses to be more careful. Of course, to encourage them, she didn't forget to wrap a thick red envelope for everyone.

In her previous life, her natal family made Baoyu too delicate, and eventually turned him into a playboy who couldn't stand anything.It's hard to say what will happen to Jianer in the future, but Yuan Chun is very happy to be cheerful and honest.

The eldest son, Han'er, is very patient with his younger brother, and Zhao Zhizhen is also very satisfied, "Han'er's riding and archery skills... are not so good, and it happens that by teaching his younger brother, he can practice himself a little bit."

If the two brothers were a concubine and a concubine, and they were about the same age, fighting openly and secretly would be inevitable, but Zhao Han was more than ten years older than Jianer, and they didn't get along like brothers, but like father and son.

Yuanchun also has three tastes in it: she treated Baoyu in the previous life, and her elder brother Jia Zhu disciplined Baoyu in this life. Isn't it the same reason?But there must be a lot of compliments, "Uncle is a good brother, I really have nothing to say to the eldest girl and Jianer."

Zhao Zhizhen really likes to hear these words.He is very satisfied with the eldest son whether it is character or talent.

The two chatted for a while, and Jianer was sent back by his brother Zhao Han.

Everyone had dinner together, Yuan Chun teased her son for a while, and seeing the prince looking at her with burning eyes, she ordered the wet nurse to wash and arrange for Jian Er... After all the other people left, Yuan Chun asked with a smile, "My lord, do you have something to say?"

Zhao Zhizhen smiled and said, "Is it okay to deliberately hold back my words?"

Yuan Chun was insincere, "My lord calm down." After speaking, he couldn't help yawning.

Zhao Zhizhen was at a loss again, "If I want to talk to you, I still have to look at your face?"

"You would like to see, what can I do?" Yuan Chun clapped his hands, "Don't worry about not being able to sleep tonight."

Zhao Zhizhen shook his head when he heard the words, "It would be great if there was another girl like you..."

Yuan Chun said: "You've said this before, if another kid comes, I'll be exhausted." As she spoke, she took two pillows from the Arhat bed, put one on the back of her waist, and put the other... directly into it. Gave it to the prince.

Yuan Chun has always cared about children, which is exactly the same as the imperial concubine.Zhao Zhizhen applauded in his heart, he leaned back against the cushion, looked at the roof and said, "I came back from the palace, so Wang Hao invited her to her room, and her brother also came after a while."

"Is this something urgent?" Yuan Chun pulled out the hairpin on his head and put it on Zhao Zhizhen's arm, "Wangfei's sister-in-law came to visit. Wangfei always pretended to be sick. Later, her brother came several times in person, and Wangfei was sick." For a while, for a while'."

The poor Han family successfully became the help of the prince in the previous life, let alone help in this life so far, the father and son of the Han family have always relied on the prince, especially when the princess came in and patted the "horse leg"... In short, Zhao Zhizhen is really serious about the Han family. I'm getting impatient.

Let alone Yuan Chun, this impatience can be felt even by the princess herself.

Helplessly in this turbulent court situation, the Han family with no foundation was already uneasy, and they even went over the prince to please the prince... Seeing that the prince was too busy to take care of himself, the Han family knew that they had to ask the prince for forgiveness before they had nowhere to go.

However, as the "center of gravity" of the Holy Majesty moved southward, Zhao Zhizhen not only firmly held the ~military~power in the north, but even his political~event~ speech became more and more important-this is also because the Fei family fell, and King Pingnan ~Rebellion~Rebellion, many ~officials~officials have been implicated. Although there are still a small number of people who have been imprisoned, those who have to quit their jobs and write confessions behind closed doors... are not a minority.

As Zhao Zhizhen became more powerful, it became more and more difficult for Mr. Han to talk to his brother-in-law: if his younger sister Han Xu was not pregnant, it would be difficult for him to even meet her.

And Zhao Zhizhen's attitude towards the meeting in the afternoon was straightforward, "If I knew it was like this, why bother."

Yuan Chun thought for a while before sincerely persuading him, "To be fair, it's the first time a family is married to the royal family...it's inevitable to get carried away."

With this relationship of in-laws, at least I can get in touch with people who I couldn't make friends with originally, and there is a backer to help when something happens—for example, Zhao Zhizhen, if he doesn't want to be too embarrassed, he has to cover it up.

That is to say, Zhao Zhizhen has been run on by many people in recent years, so he has a very good temperament, "He came here to keep his official position, and I didn't even end well with my two father-in-laws... People's words are terrible."

Speaking of it, the prince is really unlucky, I have nothing to criticize, but the natal families of the two concubines... are very worrying.

Yuan Chun gently pushed Zhao Zhizhen's arm, "Didn't they say how to thank you?"

"Let me drive, what else is new?" Zhao Zhizhen wrote lightly, "I asked them to pay attention to the caravans that come in and out these days. Father and Emperor have an order, and the Hedong Gate will only be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, so don't get in at this time Too many spies and assassins."

However, it is said that the caravans traveling to and from the tribes in the Northeast all pass through the pass city and go out from the pass in the north; while the caravans going to the Western Regions mostly pass through the territory of the Han family.As for the merchants who go to buy and sell with the people of Beidi, both sides can do it. In order to cover it up, these caravans will go around the Western Regions after going to Beidi, and then return to Daqi.

Therefore, there are a lot of caravans traveling with the countries in the Western Regions, and these caravans all pass through Beidi's flat and lush grassland trade routes.

However, Beidi people also know not to go fishing in the marsh. They often ask passing caravans to leave a lot of money for buying roads, but they will not let the merchants really lose their money.

The Holy Majesty has mixed countless "sands" in these caravans for many years, and secretly replaced the draft horses of the caravans with good horses from the Western Regions. It is also uninterrupted, and occasionally even some Beidi horses can be exchanged.

After a long period of time, Daqi's racecourse has finally become a climate, and before the Empress Dowager has everything ready, King Pingnan rushed to catch the "natural disaster" at a good time... The paper was thrown out, and he resolutely reversed it.

"I reckon they have seen something, but unfortunately they dare not say it clearly." Zhao Zhizhen said again, "After those good horses entered the customs, the people of the father are not so careful."

Yuan Chun laughed when he heard the words, "How far is the east of the river from your big camp? You bought good things for the soldiers, and don't you allow your majesty to give the big guys some reassurance?"

It's not that there are no strong generals in this dynasty, let alone elite soldiers. Due to the lack of good horses, we have no choice but to fight Beidi people near the mark. Don't everyone feel sullen in their hearts?Fortunately, you don't have to bear it any longer.

His Majesty spent a lot of effort, even turned a blind eye to the greedy people who smuggled salt and iron to Beidi people, just to keep this incomparably precious "road"... Fortunately, His Majesty doesn't have to bear it now.

Zhao Zhizhen really said: "The most gratifying thing is probably the father. But... the collapse of the embankment of the canal is not a natural disaster, but *."

Yuan Chun asked, "Who has overdone it again?" Suddenly she blinked, "It won't implicate my father, right?"

"Your father doesn't care about things in the Ministry of Industry, so he just makes way for your brother, isn't it good?"

It's not appropriate for father and son to be officials in the same dynasty. It's okay if they were not high-ranking before. Seeing... the elder brother is afraid that he will be reused, and the father must "let the virtuous".In fact, Yuan Chun was secretly delighted...but she punched Zhao Zhizhen's thigh, "You are so reasonable, why do I still feel a little uncomfortable listening to it?"

Zhao Zhizhen said: "I don't think it looks good, how about transferring him to a leisurely yamen at the same level?"

Yuan Chun grabbed Zhao Zhizhen's wrist, "My lord..." She said affectionately, "My brother...will thank you."

Zhao Zhizhen choked, "Aren't you going to thank me?"

Yuan Chun curled his lips, and squeezed Zhao Zhizhen's shoulders in an extremely perfunctory manner, "Thank you, my lord."

Zhao Zhizhen was silent for a moment, and then said, "You already had a wound on your shoulder...this time it hurts even more."

Yuan Chun said wrongly: "I didn't even leave a fingerprint last time!"

Zhao Zhizhen pretended to be annoyed, "I didn't coax you..."

The two laughed together immediately.

Different from the happiness of the Wangfu, the Rongfu second room can be described as gloomy at this time.

Jia Zheng was so worried that he almost lost his job because of his colleagues' involvement. He was supposed to write an excerpt to defend himself, but the inkstone in the inkstone on the case was dry, and he still couldn't write a single word.

Jia Zhu guessed the whole story, and besides, he had already obtained a letter from his uncle, and knew that he would be promoted—how could he show any joy with his father's appearance?

He was hesitating whether to release his father with the truth, but the rescuers arrived in time: Uncle Lin Hai is here.
