The Princess of Fortune in Qing Dynasty

In September of the 32nd year of Kangxi, the crown prince Yinfeng got married.

The day before the big wedding, the dowry was carried from the Earl's Mansion to Yuqing Palace, and the Shi family had a lot of dowries. Besides the ones from the family, the dowry from the House of Internal Affairs was also stuffed in intact.

In the Hesheli family's big wedding back then, the dowry was 360 pieces, and the dowry of pomegranate was slightly lower than that of the Yuan Dynasty, only 320 pieces.These 320 units were originally not enough, but considering the dowry of the Empress Yuan, Duan Min and others packed everything together.In the end, 320 dowries were barely made.

The big wedding was held in September, and at the beginning of the year, Kangxi gave the Shi family who were outside a decree of favor, allowing them to come to the capital to attend the prince's big wedding.These Shi family members include but are not limited to: Sai Yin Dali, the grandson of Shi Yanzhu's eldest brother □□zhu, Sai Yin Dali, like Shi Wenbing, once served as the commander of the Zhengbai Banner of the Han Army; his two sons Shi Ruhuang and Shi Rubi, Shi Ruhuang is now Xiao Lieutenant General Ling and Shi Rubi have just emerged, and they are both good boys with a bright future.

Shi Wensheng, the only son of Shi Huashan's elder brother's family, is currently the governor of Guangdong.And Shi Lin, the younger brother of Shi Huashan, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, also came with his son Shi Wenying.

In addition, there are quite a few "Hanchen generals" who were also allowed to come to the wedding.

It was also at this time that everyone understood why the emperor had to choose such a concubine for the prince. Obviously, there were many marquises and even dukes' legitimate daughters of the right age in the capital.

"It's strange that the emperor insists on choosing this girl from the Shi family as the crown princess. This Shi family is really amazing. Just look at how many senior members above the third rank have come?"

"That's not right, how can someone be the emperor without any intelligence? The ancestor of the Shi family was an official for the previous dynasty, and he was a surrendered general. Many of the surrendered ministers and Hanchens were headed by the Shi family. They married the Shi family. Isn't it equivalent to getting the support of Han Chen behind her?"

Although it is said to be the world of the Manchus today, the number of Manchurians, even with the addition of the Han army flag, is not as many as one-tenth of the Han people.There are many Han people in the world, and there are many Han officials who are officials. The emperor has always maintained a wooing attitude towards these people.Although it is true that the girl from the Shi family is Manchurian, her family has been the governor of the Han Army Banner for a long time. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Han Army Banner uses his Shi family as its capital.

"If you put it this way, the emperor has a lot of heart for the prince." They wondered before that the emperor didn't like the daughter of Dong E's family. After all, it was less than 40 years after the incident with the late emperor, and many people still remembered it.But other Manchurian Banner girls are no worse than the Shi family, but they still have these skills.

Thinking about it, the crown prince has been doing very well. If there is no accident, he will be the next emperor, and the crown princess is the future mother of the country. Can the emperor choose carefully?

"If you think about it, we pay attention to the right family when we get married to see if it has any effect on the children. The royal family is not more particular than us." Common people know that "marry a woman from a high family, marry a daughter from a low family", the emperor's son Marrying anyone is a high priority for other families, so he has no choice but to find the one with the most benefits for his son.

"So that's the case." Wanrou said softly.

Wanrou at this time has changed a lot from more than two years ago, at least she will not be as arrogant as before.Like most people, she came out to watch the fun, but she didn't expect that she just refused to go to the teahouse and chose to squeeze around on the street, and she could hear these words.

Thinking about how I was always dissatisfied with Pomegranate before, and I was focused on fighting with the opponent, always thinking that if I performed better than Pomegranate, the emperor would take a fancy to me, but it turned out that she had lost from the very beginning.Lost in the benefits that can be brought, it is quite ridiculous to think about it now.

At this moment, the trace of dissatisfaction with pomegranate in her heart disappeared, followed by a touch of sympathy.

Wan Rou turned and walked out from the crowd, and walked to the Earl's Mansion.

Today is a great day for the Shi family, even though they don't welcome Dong E's family in their hearts, the welcoming Shi family still welcomed Wanrou to the backyard with a smile.

Calamus in the backyard heard Wanrou coming, and immediately cheered up, "The weasel has no good intentions to designate chickens for New Year greetings, Ge Ge, do you want a servant to stop him? You can't make the slightest mistake in your wedding tomorrow." Obviously, Calamus is still there Remember Dong E's family.

"No, let her in. There are so many guests outside, if we stop people and spread the word, others won't laugh at us. Just let her in. I'm also curious about the purpose of her coming." Many people related to the Shi family today Everyone came, including Dorobeile Mansion, Prince Li's lineage, Prince Su's lineage, Prince Yu's lineage and so on.

Logically, Jiayang should also come, but she only gave a gift on behalf of the Duke's mansion, and no one came, which made the Shi family feel relieved.

At this time Wanrou came over, presumably it was her own intention.Shiliu is also curious, why she came to find her.

Wan Rou came alone, and the maid was left outside by her. Seeing four big girls standing beside Shi Liu, she signaled him to go down with her eyes.

Calamus glared at her, she really thought she was someone, her master hadn't spoken yet, when would it be Wanrou's turn to give orders.

Pomegranate took a look at Calamus, feeling a little helpless, Calamus is the protector, as long as someone has treated her badly, Calamus would like to remember her for the rest of her life.

"Bai Tan, Calamus, go and see if you missed anything. Weeping Liu, the house is in chaos today, you look at the small courtyard, don't let people run around and break the rules of the house. Su Lan, you..."

"The servant girl is going to pour tea for Dong Egege." Su Lan understood that Gege meant to distract the four of them, so she took the initiative to speak.

Wanrou sat down for a long time before she said, "These are the four maids you plan to bring to the palace?" The crown princess can have six maids, eight second-class maids and twelve third-class maids around her.These people are usually brought from their natal families, but not all of them are brought, and one or two seats are always left for the big girls next to the husband.This is a respect for your husband.

Pomegranate nodded, the Crown Princess has no rank, she is slightly worse than the Empress and Imperial Concubine, and higher than the Royal Concubine.Back then, it was said that the Empress Yuan brought six big girls in her wedding, so she reduced the number by two, bringing only four girls.At that time, we will see whether to be directly promoted from Yuqing Palace or selected from the second class.

She is not a weak character, if the maids of Yuqing Palace are easy to talk to and her appetite, naturally the maids of Yuqing Palace will be chosen.If she thinks she is easy to handle, even if she tries to be hated, she will not let such a person by her side.

Of course, she and Wanrou are not close to each other, so naturally she won't say these things to Wanrou.

After saying this, Wanrou didn't know what to say. Thinking about it carefully, the two of them were very young. Since Shiliu went to Hangzhou, they rarely saw each other.Obviously they should be close people, but now they are no different from strangers.

No, there are still some, think about the things I have done before, and the attitude of the big girl around Shiliu.Wanrou smiled wryly, "Well, in the past, I was too capricious before, I'm sorry."

I'm sorry, she said the three words very lightly, if it wasn't for the good ear of pomegranate, she might not be able to hear it.

She looked at Wanrou in surprise, how could she say sorry to her?

After Wanrou said that, it seemed that the following words were not so difficult to say. She organized her words and found that she really didn't know how to speak, so she simply said it in her own way.

"I used to dislike you. We are only one year apart. Why did the emperor choose you instead of me? At that time, I was very unconvinced and always wanted to compare with you. Plus, plus some people are always in my favor. Say something specious in my ear. I feel that the emperor is biased, and I feel even more unhappy."

"In the past, I only thought about myself in everything I did. I thought that as long as I liked it, it was mine. Now I understand that it's not just about marrying someone I like. The most important thing behind it is the profit."

Pursing her lips, Wanrou raised her eyes to look at Shiliu, "You," she wanted to say, knowing that she was only with the prince because of interests, because she was a daughter of the Shi family, did Shiliu feel a little bit unwilling.

Shiliu guessed Wanrou's next words, she chuckled, "Do you want to say that I am sad? Or feel embarrassed?" She shook her head lightly, and the hairpin on her head made a crisp sound as she shook it.

"Isn't this inevitable?"

"I am the daughter of the Shi family. I have enjoyed the resources of the Shi family for more than ten years, and now it's time to contribute to the family. Do you think I should embarrass me and resist the escaping marriage?"

What Shiliu said was what the daughters of big families would say, and there was nothing wrong with it. If someone was smart, they should be able to hear how businesslike and perfunctory these words were.But Wanrou didn't.

Probably her mother-in-law never taught her to sacrifice for the family, and she never thought about it.

Reaching out to fiddle with the tea cover, she smiled softly, "Yes, I heard that the crown prince values ​​you very much, even if it's because of family interests, you are happy."

It is said that the two live geese needed for adoption were caught by the prince himself, not only a pair of wild geese, but also a pair of young geese for her to raise.It is much more difficult to capture them alive than to shoot them to death. Some wealthy families go out to buy them, or let others catch them.Everyone knows that the prince rode and shot, but he caught it himself with the dignity of a prince. This sincerity has made many people envious.

Pomegranate didn't know how to pick up what she said. Could it be that she said 'Where is that'?She could only sit with a dignified smile, listening carefully.

Probably also saw that Pomegranate didn't have much conversation with her, so Wanrou got up and wanted to say goodbye.

"Ge Ge, Ge Ge, who do you think is coming?" Iris ran into the house with a smile.

Shiliu pretended to reprimand with a stern face, "What about the rules?"

Calamus stuck out her tongue, and before she could say anything, a voice came from behind, "Hey, look at our future princess, she is different, full of momentum." A little girl in Mongolian clothes and a girl in flag clothes The little girls walked in one after the other.

The little girl in Mongolian clothes wanted to make some jokes, but when she saw Wanrou in the room shut up, she didn't know Wanrou, but she didn't expect that there was still someone in Pomegranate at this time, so she was a little embarrassed for a while.

It was none other than Saren and Xuesong who came. The two had made an appointment. They thought that there should be no one in Shiliu at this time, so they just came over to have a private conversation.The two of them are married to Elder Brother Huang, and their wedding dates have already been set, one will be in April next year, and the other will be in October, exactly half a year apart.

Both are little girls who are about to get married, and the two of them have no idea, no, they just want to come over and talk to Shiliu, and check the process so that they won't lose their eyes when the time comes.

Who knew that there was a girl they didn't know in Pomegranate, Sa Ren looked at her as if she was looking at a heartless man again, and said yes, I thought about you day and night in Mongolia, but you actually made new friends behind my back, it's too much.She won't forgive her if she doesn't bribe her with something delicious.

Seeing Sa Ren Pomegranate was also very happy, she pointed to Wanrou and introduced: "This is Dong Egege, Wanzhen's younger sister Wanrou." What Wanzhen did back then, even after nearly three years, they would never forget, For a moment, the smiles on both of their faces faded.Shiliu pointed to Wanrou again and said, "You should know this girl from Ulanara's family, the future Sifujin. The one over there is the future Sanfujin."

She didn't mention Sa Ren's name, not to mention that Sa Ren didn't know Wanrou at all, even if she herself didn't know Wanrou well, there wouldn't be much interaction between them in the future, it wasn't necessary.

Wanrou is not a person who does not wink at all. After she found out that she was not particularly popular, she offered to leave.

After she left, Sa Ren sat down on the chair and took a few sips of tea, "What is she doing here?" Thanks to Wanzhen, Sa Ren asked her brother to inquire about Dong E's house, knowing that the two Gege's character is not good.

Shiliu shook her head, "Who knows, she just said something inexplicable." She herself was confused, saying that Wanrou was here to laugh at her, not like that.If it is said to be a blessing, let alone, who will say this when they come to give a blessing?

In short, it is very strange.

Xue Song pondered for a while and said: "I may have guessed a little bit of her thoughts. She had been competing with her sister before, and felt that it was because she was not as good as her sister, so the emperor chose her sister but not her. Now I know that it is not that she is not as good as her sister, but because of her sister. With a family background, my sister can bring the greatest help to the prince."

"Well, she probably feels that she is not as bad as she imagined. Looking back at her sister, she will subconsciously think that the prince's kindness to her sister is also because of her family background, not her own. I feel happy. "

Sa Ren half-understood what he heard, what's so fun about it, could it be that this Wanrou is a pervert, she just likes to see other people's displeasure.But the pomegranate is doing very well, and I am not unhappy.

I don't understand.

Pomegranate was a little speechless, why didn't she see it?

Xue Song laughed and said: "My sister and the prince get along naturally, and we can all see the prince's affection for my sister. If she doesn't understand, it's like a random guess." Shi's family is relatively harmonious, and it's normal for Pomegranate not to think about it .Even if she hadn't been with Shiliu for a long time, it would be hard to believe that the prince is such a person, isn't it?

Shiliu stretched out her hand and scratched her nose, "This is so sour, it's possible that brother Si treated you badly. I don't know who pushed my Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to watch lanterns with others."

The fourth elder brother is also good to Xuesong, and every year the lantern will go out of the palace to play with her.
