The Heart of the Red Chamber

Wang Ren's life was uneventful, and nothing major happened in the court, but he heard that Concubine Yun in the harem offended the emperor for some reason and was demoted to Concubine Yun, and that Wu De was also expelled from the Imperial College. I started to live with my tail between my legs.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed, and in the spring, the palace issued a decree to select young ladies from officials and eunuchs to enter the palace as female historians. In a powerful family, even concubine daughters are raised like gold and jade, and at least they can be used for marriage in the future, let alone a concubine. One out of a hundred may not be able to get ahead. If you can't get ahead, you have to wait until you are 30 years old to leave the palace. At that age, you can leave the palace, let alone marry. No one dares to be a concubine. The second wife fills in the house, and everyone will dislike it. Is it possible that the girls who have been brought up with great difficulty will end up like those older court ladies.What a joke!Therefore, as soon as this decree came out, people with daughters of the right age became active. Those who were engaged hurriedly found a date to get married. On the other hand, he began to talk to those concubines and concubines, and what's more, he entrusted them to the queen mother and queen, hoping to make a difference and let his daughter lose the election.

Of course, there are also people who rejoice at this and want to take a shortcut and break a path to success.These people are also seeking relationships, hoping that their daughters will be selected. When Mrs. Wang came to Wang's house to talk to Mrs. Sun for the first time, she revealed in her words that she hoped that Mrs. Sun would help find a relationship and let Yuan Chun enter the palace. Promise, once Yuan Chun is successfully promoted, there will be rewards.Mrs. Sun almost lost her composure on the spot, and left Mrs. Wang perfunctorily. After dinner in the evening, she returned to the inner room and sat down on the couch with Wang Ziteng. Mrs. Sun reluctantly talked about Mrs. Wang's arrival during the day, and then With some complaints, he said: "Master, what do you think the eldest sister is thinking? A good girl from the Duke's family, she used to say that even if she is not as good as the princess princess, she is not far behind. Now Don't think about finding a son-in-law who is well-matched, but want to send her into the palace!"

Mrs. Sun took a peek at Wang Ziteng's face, and continued cautiously: "Master, I'm not saying that there is anything wrong in the palace! However, the eldest daughter of the Jia family is also a step-up and step-up at home. With women's history and grades, in the final analysis, they are better than ordinary court ladies! Even if you meet ordinary concubines, you have to be careful, how can the eldest sister be willing?"

A sneering smile appeared on Wang Ziteng's face: "What's the reason? It's just a fool's mind! The Holy One doesn't pay much attention to female sex, and the harem is not empty now, whether it's a queen, There are still a few concubines with titles, which one is a simple role. Even if a big girl has both ability and political integrity, it is not easy to get ahead in the harem!"

"But it seems that the eldest sister has already made up her mind. It seems that the old lady of the Jia family also has the same idea. What is the master's idea?" Mrs. Sun asked in a soft voice while offering Wang Ziteng a cup of tea.

Wang Ziteng took the teacup and snorted coldly: "Our family has not yet been reduced to relying on the nepotism of relatives! I, Wang, think that I have done my best to the Jia family, but I just met such a family. I, Mr. Wang, am not a fairy, so we don’t need to worry about this matter! They want to send their daughter in, so let them figure out their own way!”

Mrs. Sun didn't say anything more about this issue. She was already bored with her sister-in-law. Sometimes it was difficult for her to understand how her father-in-law and mother-in-law educated their children. At the same time as this capable person, he also raised such a prodigal son as Wang Zisheng, plus two daughters who are not so worry-free.It seems that although a woman's lack of talent is virtue, but no matter what, right and wrong must be understood, especially, self-knowledge is necessary. Thinking of this, I think of the unmarried daughters of the Wang family. No matter what, Wang Xifeng must educate her Well, if Wang Xifeng's temperament is similar to that of his two sister-in-laws in the future, it will be embarrassing at that time, won't he become his own son?

"What is madam thinking about?" Wang Ziteng drank half a cup of Pu'er, put the cup down, saw that Madam Sun was silent and didn't know what she was thinking, so he asked.

Mrs. Sun came back to her senses, and said with a smile: "Master, at the age of my concubine, I don't have anything to think about. It's nothing more than children's affairs! Speaking of which, Ren'er is going to take the provincial examination in autumn. Think about it!"

Wang Ziteng smiled: "Ren'er's homework has always been good, and Mr. Chen is clear about his progress. Since Mr. Chen allows Ren'er to take the provincial examination, he is sure of it, and Madam doesn't have to worry about it! Speaking of it , I still want to thank Madam for giving me such a smart son as Ren'er!" When he said this, his tone was full of teasing.

Mrs. Sun blushed a little: "What did the master say!"

Although Mrs. Sun is not young, but she has a good life, and she has both children, her husband values ​​her, and she doesn't need to serve picky mothers-in-law and elders. Her life is quite smooth, so she takes good care of her. Looking at it under the light is even more touching. Wang Ziteng's heart felt hot, he put his arms around Madam Sun's waist, and said with a light smile, "How about we give Ren'er a smart younger brother?"

"My lord, my concubine is already very old!" Madam Sun felt a little embarrassed even though her heart moved, and she tried to evade it with a bit of a sour meaning, "If the lord wants a son, why don't you go to Chun?" Xingsheng going?"

"Madam is old, she looks much better than others for her husband!" Wang Ziteng chuckled, at this moment, how could he have imagined that the maid who crawled onto his bed in the room a few days ago lay down on the couch with her arms around Madam Sun, He said in his mouth, "If madam doesn't like that spring apricot, send it back to Zhuangzi, or sell it directly!"

Mrs. Sun still wanted to say something, but it soon turned into a low gasp and moan, temporarily forgetting who Chun Xing was.

The servant girl who was serving outside was also shocked when she heard the voice, she quickly came back to her senses, came over calmly and quietly, drew the curtain, closed the door, and then retreated quietly, but she was laughing at the self-righteous woman in her heart. What's the use of spring apricots flying up the branches and climbing into the master's bed, the master's most important thing is his wife!
