Yuanchun of the Red Chamber is not a virtuous concubine

Leaving aside Mrs. Wang's anxiety and distress, Jia Zheng was so focused on getting this matter done that he went to Wang's house excitedly the next day, and discussed it with Wang Ziteng, "Second uncle, I'm telling you the truth. , I also have something important to discuss with you today.”

On weekdays, Jia Zheng rarely comes to the Wang's house. Except for visiting Mrs. Wang during the holidays, he seldom shows up at the Wang's house. Today's visit is not a festival, and Wang Ziteng is also a little curious about Jia Zheng's visit this time. What is the matter.

When Wang Ziteng rarely saw Jia Zheng being so frank, he also raised his eyebrows and said, "You just have to say it."

Jia Zheng was also overjoyed, and said, "I don't know if my brother-in-law has heard that the prince and grandson in the palace are going to go to school and choose to study with them?"

"I've heard about it." Having said that, Wang Ziteng knew it in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that Wang Ziteng's position was sensitive and he didn't dare to get involved with other princes, and the Wang family didn't have a boy of the right age, Wang Ziteng would also like to send a boy. invested.

Jia Zheng saw that Wang Ziteng was so calm, the excitement in his heart dissipated a little, and he said calmly, "Pearl has already entered the Imperial Academy, so I don't need to worry about her future. I'm afraid her future achievements will be higher than other Jia's children. Baoyu will be divided in the future, and the family property won't be too much, and I, the father, have to make arrangements for him, this time is an opportunity."

It was rare for Wang Ziteng to agree with Jia Zheng, and he glanced at him in surprise, "It seems that you have someone to choose, tell me, and see if I can help."

"Whether this matter can be accomplished depends on my uncle. Baoyu's character is simple and kind, and he is not comparable to other officials' children, and he will not join in front of the emperor's grandson. I heard that the 21st prince is gentle in nature, and he is about the same age as Baoyu. It is just right. Only us Jia The family doesn't have any contacts in the palace, so I have to have Uncle Lao to help Baoyu."

"Don't worry, Baoyu is also my nephew, for the future, I should do my best."

When Jia Zheng got the exact news, he went back to wait for the news with peace of mind, and Baoyu's name was indeed reported.

On the third day, through the contacts in the palace, the Wang family finally got in touch with the birth mother of the 21st prince, Mrs. Chen. The mother of the 21st prince was born as a Han girl. As a small seventh-rank official, it was because of the glory she brought to the family that she was favored by the emperor back then. After so many years, she was not promoted, and gradually there was no news, not to mention that she had no connections in Beijing. With 21 princes, I am afraid that this has been forgotten in the palace. Now she is just a small concubine. There are too many unnamed and unprofessional women, and it is polite to claim to be a concubine. The Chen family is considered lucky.

Now when the 21st prince is entering school, there are a lot of applicants from the ministers and ministers of the court, but most of these candidates are not interested in the 21st prince. Firstly, it is because their mother and child are not favored. There are not many benefits to be gained, and secondly, there are better choices. After this, the 21st prince does not even have a real candidate. Although the 21st prince loves piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he doesn't care about power, but he is looked down upon by others. 21 The prince is still young, and his temperament has not yet settled down, so he is naturally a little annoyed.

The Chen family lost her favor, so she naturally valued the 21st prince more, and knew that she was counting on the 21st prince for the rest of her life, so naturally she had to plan for him.

Although their mother and son are not considered to be favored by the emperor, even when the emperor thinks of the children, he usually summons the princes who were favored in front of him.

Although I knew that this candidate was not a real son of the Wang family, I was still a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, Wang Ziteng's position is sensitive, so it's better not to get involved directly. This Jia Baoyu has something to do with Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion. , is also born in a famous family, and is also a promising child of the Jia family clan.

More importantly, there is an older brother who is in the Hanlin Academy with a promising future, and I heard that there is also an older sister who is quite doted on in the Prince's Mansion of Yongjun. I will live in the palace for a long time. If I can have a relationship with Concubine De, maybe I can take advantage of this relationship to take care of the 21st prince. At this stage, Jia Baoyu, a child of a family with some background, can be considered as a gift. The best candidates among them are selected.

The princes in the palace are all precocious, although Concubine Chen Shu thinks that Jia Baoyu is okay, but after all it is related to the 21st prince, Concubine Chen still needs to discuss it with him.

"Now the Ministry of Internal Affairs has also sent the list of accompanying readers. My son wants to have a look and let them come into the palace some other day. Can you choose a few who are close to each other in person?"

21 The prince didn't care too much about this after his expiration date, "Now my son has no other ideas, he can do whatever he wants, Er Niang decides."

Concubine Chen Shu sighed, and said, "Anyway, this is someone who will accompany you for many years. After all, he has to follow your temperament. What do you think of this Jia Baoyu? He comes from the second house of the Rongguo Mansion. Although I heard that they separated, but This second room is from a scholarly family, I think I can get along well with you, and the son of this family is also from a scholarly family, what do you think?"

Apparently, Prince 21 is also very self-aware, and has already expected his companions, but now he is a little curious after hearing Er Niang's words, "The young master of Jia's family also sent a message? Could it be something wrong? Mistake, did you hand it to the wrong person?"

Concubine Chen Shu smiled and said, "This time the emperor guessed wrong, the news was delivered by the Wang family himself, so it can't be wrong."

21 The prince is still young, so he couldn't help smiling at this moment, and said, "Since the Jia family is so sincere, then let the Jia family have one of the candidates for the companion."

Concubine Chen Shu also smiled happily, "It's good to listen to my son, then I will choose Zhang's for the rest."

Although the prince's status is noble, he is actually not as good as the foreign minister who has won the favor. Concubine Chen Shu also knows this. Now it is good to have these two people who are in line with her heart, and the remaining two will just pick two. Looking at the few candidates, Concubine Chen naturally felt sorry for her son, but now that his son is still young, they can only shrink back as much as possible, so as not to catch the eyes of other princes and get into trouble.

"My son is very miserable. I will report to the emperor some other day, let these children enter the palace, and let the emperor see how it is?"

"Okay, according to Er Niang's arrangement."

When the Jia family got the news, naturally half of the people were happy and half of them were sad. Although Baoyu learned some rules from the nanny, Mrs. Wang and the old lady were distressed, and they were not too harsh. Baoyu was also relieved Yes, I was looking forward to entering the palace at first, but as soon as I learned the rules, Baoyu's enthusiasm was almost dispelled.

But Baoyu was a little afraid of Jia Zheng. Although Mrs. Wang and his elder brother were taking care of her, she was also afraid of Jia Zheng's face. There are also expectations.

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang confessed, "In a few days, the nobleman will send someone to invite you. Although the name is to summon the wife, but when you go with Baoyu, it's just a formality. I heard that the 21st prince likes poetry and books. It just so happens that there are some paintings with names in the storeroom, so you take them with you when the time comes, and you must not make any mistakes, by the way, this matter is considered a success, write a letter to Shu Fujin later, and don't let her worry about it."

Now that the matter has been decided, Mrs. Wang can only think in a good direction, not to mention that the prince and concubine can't be offended, so they will naturally settle the matter, "Master, don't worry, I will write to Shu Fujin later. , this can be regarded as Baoyu's major event, and I will make proper preparations."

"Well, I've always been at ease when you do things, but I just asked you more."

Yuanchun also got the news, and he was also happy in his heart. In fact, Yuanchun chose the 21st prince because Yuanchun considered a lot of candidates, so he chose the 21st prince. Compared with other princes and grandchildren, the fate of the 21st prince is considered good. There is also Concubine Chen Shu who lived to the Qianlong Dynasty. It can be seen that they can survive for such a long time. They are all smart people and have never been involved in the battle for the throne.

Yuan Chun didn't ask them to bring much glory to the Rongguo Mansion and the Jia family, but only asked the Jia family to never get involved in the maelstrom of the royal family.

And according to Baoyu's temperament discovery, the temperament and hobbies of the 21st prince, according to Yuan Chun's understanding, are the most suitable for Baoyu. Very spiritual, and the 21 princes of the Kangxi Dynasty were famous poets and painters in the records of later generations. This is also the most suitable way for Baoyu.

It can be regarded as the future direction that Yuanchun set for Jia Baoyu, and he also found a backer for Baoyu. Seeing that things are going according to his own settings, Yuanchun is happy to eat an extra bowl of rice.

"Shu Fujin, eat less, it's already this month, so take it easy."

"Don't worry, mammy, I'm so happy today, I won't be in the future, I'll walk for half an hour later, okay? Mammy, stop nagging."

"That's what Shu Fujin said. I can't be lazy for a while. This servant looks worried at Shu Fujin's stomach."

Yuan Chun rubbed his stomach and sighed, she had no choice but to walk around now even if she didn't eat or drink, and her stomach was still growing.
