Yuanchun of the Red Chamber is not a virtuous concubine

What Yuan Chun said was in line with fourth master's intentions, fourth master also smiled and said, "The previous one was just busy and didn't care about eating, but he didn't skip meals. He was just extremely tired and had no appetite. It just made you feel better. Worry, it will be over later, I will have a good meal, now it is this time, so let them set the meal, I will have the meal with you."

Yuan Chun gave a hum, and signaled the maids to set the meal. After dinner with the fourth master, they sat down and talked together. Yuan Chun tentatively said, "My mother came here today, but I talked about my father. This year is coming up, I feel helpless in many things in the Ministry of Industry, and I am often bored, I can't help much, and I am also a little depressed when I go home. The fourth master knows that my father has always been a bit upright, and he helped in the Ministry of Industry I don't care about anything, but I always feel that I'm dragging everyone down. If you say resign, for the sake of us useless children, there must be an official around, so that it's easier to discuss marriage. The fourth master also knows how many people I have. The younger brothers and sisters are still young, and they have to wait to discuss marriage. Because of these selfishness, my father deliberately dragged on to occupy the official position in the Ministry of Industry, but he couldn't do anything. My father always felt ashamed of the court's treatment of him. Hearing his father's displeasure, I was also very worried."

The fourth master also knew about Jia Zheng. He was indeed an upright person, but he was not very friendly with his colleagues because he was too upright, but he was a bit dull about the officialdom. Fortunately, Jia Zheng did not inherit Jia. Inheritance of the main line of the family, so that it can serve as a link between the past and the future, which is not bad.

"I can understand his psychology as a father. The children are still young, and a father always has to bear everything for the children. There will always be gains and losses, and sacrifices are inevitable."

What's more, not all people in the officialdom are well-behaved. Jia Zheng's life has been smooth for most of his life. He was born in the Duke's family and grew up with rich clothes and good food. Even after his father left, he got the official position without suffering. Nowadays, although the official position cannot be promoted, but the son is promising, the daughter is filial, and the wife is virtuous, it is inevitable for some people to be jealous, and it is inevitable that they will say some unpleasant things. People who have not experienced hardships can understand it with a weaker heart.

"Father's intentions, those of us who are children, all know it. We just don't want father to be sad. It's nothing at all. Father has been an official for so many years, and the situation has been peaceful. Just because of my brother and me, it is inevitable that father will replace us. Bearing more burdens, I know that my mother doesn't really mean anything else, but I feel uncomfortable listening to it, and I can't tell others about it, but the fourth master listened to such things. It's my fault, Bring this up."

"Why do you and I need to be so polite? It's just a time to relax and let's talk about the good and bad of the family. Besides, you can worry about your father so much, it's just a daughter's filial piety, there's nothing you can't say about it."

This is the way of the world, if there is no father who is an official, the relatives will be downgraded, even though Jia Zhu is already an official, but this elder brother is always a step behind his father when he is an official. What's more, there are two concubines in Jia's mansion, so they should be considered more carefully, so the fourth master can actually understand Jia Zheng's psychology.

But looking at the whole family of the Jia family, it's rare for the children of the concubine and the children of the concubine to be so close. The fourth master also thinks that such a family, such parents and brothers, and such a good atmosphere, will go out in such a way as he wants. woman.

"Thank you, Fourth Master, for being considerate of me. I'm just worried that my father is getting older and can't take it anymore. I won't talk about it anymore. I just hope that my father can do better. If the emperor values ​​him, he will be promoted to a level and a half. It's nothing to be transferred from the Ministry of Industry, it's okay to stay in an idle department, I just hope that my father won't be so tired anymore, I know I'm delusional, the emperor naturally has his own considerations, what we expect can be achieved Yes, fourth master, don't laugh at me."

Yuan Chun's words reminded the fourth master that the affairs of the Ministry of Industry are indeed very important. Although Jia Zheng's character is fair, this ability is lacking. If this position is vacated for other talented people Talented people are more likely to be able to play a role.

Seeing how the fourth master was thinking, Yuan Chun knew that he didn't need to say anything more, so he changed the subject again, "Speaking of which, I got some fruits here, and the concubine's food is not bad, why don't you come to the palace tomorrow and bring some to your empress Taste it, although it’s not something expensive, it’s still a piece of the mansion’s heart.”

The fourth master hummed, "You have a heart, I'll send someone over to pick it up tomorrow, and Madam Lao will worry about the children in the house."

Nowadays, the palace is strictly controlled, and the imperial hospital is even stricter. The fourth master is also in order to avoid suspicion, so he does not invite the imperial physician easily. If there is any headache, he will just go to the doctor in the mansion. Fujin just wanted to ask the imperial physician to recuperate him. The fourth master only looked at the love points in the past, and he only asked for a safe pulse once a month. Please be safe, I don't go to the Yonghe Palace very much. The concubine de concubine also cooperates and doesn't feel that the fourth master offended her. Fewer people went there, but gold, silver and jewelry were sent to the palace.

Although the fourth master gave few gold, silver and jewelry, but everything is fine, and it is carefully selected by the fourth master. I don't know how much heart I spent compared to the fourteenth master. The fourth master got jealous several times when he found out, saying that the concubine de concubine was eccentric, and the concubine de concubine didn't bother to talk to him anymore.

The emperor's body has been angry for several times, coupled with the pressure of work, and his age has also increased. The worse he looks, the worse he gets, so he can only hide it more and more. He was so trembling that he couldn't hold the pen, the emperor had no choice but to go to the suburbs of Beijing to recuperate. There are hot springs there, suitable for the emperor to cultivate. After that, the emperor rarely returned to the palace. Of course, the brothers in the palace who were studying in the palace also Followed the emperor to the garden to continue studying.

The more critical it is, the more the fourth master holds his breath. Originally, the fourth master likes to stay in his garden, but now that the emperor is in the garden, the fourth master is the closest to the emperor. After all, the emperor is old, and he has heard The people told him how miserable those imprisoned sons were, and they had the intention to let go when their hearts softened. They only knew that the royal family had no family ties, but they didn't want to admit it anymore. At this time, the emperor also knew his time Not much, always choose the next emperor, always choose someone who is kinder to these brothers.

Even if the emperor was soft-hearted, he knew that his two most beloved children would not be able to come out for the rest of his life, so he also ordered people to build a palace for these two. There was nothing to ask for, the only requirement was that it was big enough.

Fourth Lord also took advantage of this opportunity to transfer Jia Zheng away from the Ministry of Industry after hearing the news, and pushed a talented person in this field over. He would not harm the prince in this respect, so he let the fourth master's actions go, thinking that the fourth son still missed the prince, and it would not be in vain for the prince's kindness to him before.

In fact, the fourth master had lost a lot of feelings in his heart during the operation of the prince before, but after knowing that the prince is not harmful, it does not prevent the fourth master from selling this good thing to the prince and the emperor, so that the emperor treats him even more Satisfied, in fact, the fourth master also vaguely felt the test of the emperor, and the emperor likes to visit places where the elder brothers study, especially for the children of the fourth child. Although he didn't say anything, he generally Still satisfied, he praised the fourth son for being a good teacher.

Although the elder brothers don't know much, none of the elder brothers who grew up in the royal family are fools. They all feel a little bit of uneasiness. The fourth master is even sitting on the Diaoyutai. He also refused all the people who came to curry favor with him, and still acted in the same way as before, which calmed down such a turbulent wind of uneasiness.

At the end of the year, Yuanchun's nine elder brothers and ten elder brothers were both praised by the emperor, and their names were also bestowed on them. One was named Hongxuan and the other Hongxu. No matter how dissatisfied Niu Hulu was, he could only keep it in his heart, but Geng was very calm. After all, she was not considered favored at the beginning, and she didn't have any fantasies after having this child. Naturally, without expectations there is no disappointment.On the contrary, the Niu Hulu family claimed to be from a rich family with the surname Manchu, and the sense of superiority in their hearts was stronger than that of ordinary people. After all, the women in the mansion, except for Fujin's background, were not as good as her. I don't care about my origin anymore.

Yuan Chun realized that her ninth elder brother and tenth elder brother probably won the favor of the emperor that year, but the emperor is a tolerant person, and it is rare to be kind, so he did not push these two brothers into the waves Now, many people have guessed the emperor's plan, and she also took the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother Ru Yuanzili to greet the concubine de concubine, probably at that time, the emperor heard some news, and then remembered After getting these two treasures, she gave this grace on a whim, but this is good, and it can increase the weight of her children. After all, the emperor has not given names to the lower class for many years. Wanting this special grace, that's why the sixth and eighth elder brothers waited.
