Ore Palace Ballad

The two prostitute daughters of the Yu family are considered to be high-married, and one is married to a fifth-rank Hubu doctor and has a daughter.The other is married to Wailang, a member of the household department from the fifth rank, and has no children so far, and the household minister is Feng Zhaoyi's father.From this point of view, Jiang Yuyao seems to have wiped out the household department, but in fact it is not like that. The Feng family is not Gong Xi's confidant, but they are loyal and will not be influenced by anyone.The families her two cousins ​​married were not considered high-ranking, and there were too many immediate bosses.

Of the three married daughters, the two prostitutes were married to high-ranking officials. After all, the Yu family had no power at this time, and only had some gold and silver.The concubine is a low-marriage, so life is not bad.

Yu Jingya is the eldest daughter of the Yu family. When she was at home, her food and clothing expenses were better than those of girls in ordinary officials' families.But when she got married, it was different, and she only gave birth to a sister in three years.In the past, I also had extravagant hopes that the husband and wife would be harmonious, but later I found out that it was all vain.She had a lot of dowry, so all the expenses in the house belonged to her. At first, her husband's family coaxed her, but when they saw that she had given birth to a daughter and refused to give birth again, their expression changed immediately.

Taking her money and taking a few concubines, sons and daughters began to appear one after another.That's fine, but her husband actually wanted to record the concubine's son under her name. She tolerated it at first, but then, when her cousin entered the palace, she didn't want to bear it anymore.

Husband wanted to hit her, so she stretched out her face, "You hit, you hit, and tomorrow I will go to the palace to complain to Empress Shuguiyi"

It's a pity that her husband is useless, and she is cowardly when she mentions Empress Shuguiyi.

Her cousin was favored in the palace, and her life in the mansion suddenly became easier.Until the cousin was promoted to Shu Zhaoyi, there was another news of pregnancy.The people in the whole house suddenly started supporting her.

"Miss, someone is coming from Yu's house, let the miss take the little miss back." Chuntao, the dowry maid, ran in with a smile on her face.

Yu Jingya was embroidering a ribbon for her daughter's hair. Hearing this, she raised her head and looked at the servant girl. It's a busy day, so why should she go back.Putting down the needle, he asked, "Well, what's the matter?"

Chun Tao saluted, "The visitor said that there was a rumor in the palace that Shu Guiyi missed her relatives, so let the ladies come to the palace to see her."

Before she could speak, a person walked in quickly from the door, not tall, with a strong air of frailty, "Have you heard, madam?" When he entered the room, he just asked her a question.

The maid in the room wanted him to salute, but he didn't bother, so she just ignored it and sat beside Yu Jingya, "Ms. Shu Guiyi called Madam into the palace, does Madam know?"

Yu Jingya laughed, and pointed at Chuntao who just ran in to speak, "I see, Chuntao just said that she has to go back to Yu's house tonight, and I don't know if the second and third sisters have gone back, I'm afraid I have to prepare for it." less stuff"

Her husband doesn't have any great skills, he's just a soft bag, but... so easy to fool, although the mother-in-law is a little short-hearted, she is bullying and afraid of the tough, as long as her back is hard, there will be no troubles.

"It's okay, if there is something missing there, just come back and tell me, you go there early today, and rest early at night, so as not to break the rules when you arrive in the palace tomorrow."

"Don't worry, my husband. I know. Aunt Ping in the backyard has not been pregnant for the past few days. Husband, why don't you go and have a look. I'll start preparing things here in a while, I'm afraid I'm very busy."

"Okay, come back, we are talking about it"

Looking at the back of the man, he couldn't wait to leave.Yu Jingya picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.He stretched out his hand and rubbed his cheeks again, this pretense is really not a long-term solution.

Looking at the maid waiting at the side, he ordered: "Go and pack some of my sister's clothes, tidy up my things, and bring some light ones. Also, take the small wooden box I put in the closet with me. Tomorrow I Take them into the palace together"

"Yes"

After talking about Yu Jingya, let's talk about the third lady, Yu Jingzhi.

Yu Jingzhi has only been married for a year and has no children yet, but there are quite a few people in the backyard of the mansion.She also encountered the same situation as her elder sister, but her temperament has always been unwilling to endure. It is okay to be born with concubine sons and concubine daughters, but don't get close to her, let alone have any thoughts that you shouldn't have. A board.

When the servant came in to answer the conversation, the husband and wife were arguing furiously.

As soon as the servant finished speaking, Yu Jingzhi sneered, "Go on, poisonous woman, shrew, crazy woman, keep talking, I'm listening, tomorrow I will go to Lady Zhaoyi and learn from you one by one. she listens"

"You—" seemed to be in a hurry, the man was not very tall, but suddenly he was very short.Nothing more than the four characters of Zhaoyi Empress.

"Why can't we live a good life?" The man softened his tone, even his figure was a little stooped.

"Live a good life?" Yu Jingzhi seemed to have heard some joke, "When will your concubine and concubine die, come and discuss with me again?"

The marriage between her and her elder sister was arranged by her great-grandfather, and it cannot be ruined.But grandpa is gone, she despises this man's dirtyness, and doesn't even want to touch him.Have a good time, he is so beautiful.

"Qiu Guo, pack up your things and take the makeup box that I locked up, let's go back to the house"

"Yes"

The two concubines have finished talking, let's talk about the second concubine, Yu Jingchu, she is not married to an official family, but the son of a wealthy businessman. There is a son and a daughter in the family, and she married the eldest son.The husband and wife are very affectionate, and the rich businessman did not force her to have children as soon as possible. Her husband understands her very well, and the two are not in a hurry.The sister-in-law at the head of the family is also kind, so life is quite comfortable.

The distinction between concubines and concubines in the Sheng Dynasty was very serious. For example, a concubine was equal to a slave, and it was something that could be given away at will, even if the concubine gave birth to a child, it was the same.But the children of the concubine are also considered half of the master, but they have to be ranked after the concubines.To use an analogy, take the separation of families as an example, the descendants of the concubine can get eight shares alone, and all the concubines receive two shares.There is a lot of convenience and security for the children born by the first wife, but not for the children born by the concubine.Take opening a shop outside as an example. To open a shop in the future, you only need to report to the government and record it.But if a concubine came out to open a shop, he would need to go through several inspections, and even have to investigate the other party thoroughly.

When Jiang Yuyao sent people to pass on the message, Yu Jingchu was not included, not on her own initiative, but because the status of a concubine in the palace cannot be said.But Chen De is clever, he only talks about seeing his relatives, even if he is a concubine, he is still a relative.Therefore, sending a message to Yu Jingchu is nothing more than normal.

When Yu Jingchu received the news, it was almost dark, but she hurriedly asked people to prepare.Then he hurried to Yufu.

When Yu Jingchu returned to Yu's mansion, Yu Jingya and Yu Jingzhi had been there for a long time, and Mrs. Sanwei in Yu's mansion began to prepare things after Chen De left.The gold and silver brought into the palace must not be less, as well as some interesting gadgets, some homemade pastries, and fresh things from outside.

It took several hours to prepare for these, and the mansion was so busy that it was dizzy.When the three married ladies came back, they began to prepare their clothes for entering the palace, and they were not allowed to bring any taboos.

Especially Yu Jingya and Yu Jingchu's husbands are both officials, their clothes are more elegant and their jewelry is less gold and silver.Although Yu Jingchu is a businessman, he can't be all gold and silver, and his clothes can't be too gorgeous.

Yu Jingya and Yu Jingzhi finished preparing first, and the two quickly poured a bowl of warm water, and began to prepare for Yu Jingchu.When she was ready, Yu Jingchu just wanted to drink water when she suddenly remembered, "Where is Sister Yan?"

"Oh!" Yu Jingya hurriedly looked for someone, and found that her daughter was sleeping soundly in the nurse's arms, so she hurriedly picked out the clothes she brought over.

"It's okay, Sister Yan is younger, and it's festive to dress gorgeously." Mrs. Wang, the wife of the third room, picked out two strings of pearls from her jewelry box and handed them to Yu Jingya. "Put up Sister Yan's hair tomorrow. Circle it with a string of pearls"

"Thank you, Third Aunt, I'm panicking." Yu Jingya breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, okay, let's have dinner first, then I will rest early, and I have to get up early tomorrow." Mrs. Wu, the second wife, was busy getting food to be served. After being busy for so long, it was already dark for a while.

Mrs. Chen, the wife of the big house, had someone stew ginseng soup to supplement the ladies.After eating, he started to follow the list again, checking them one by one, and found that there was nothing missing, so he asked someone to cover the box and lock it.Put the key into the small wooden box again, and took the box to Mr. Yu's study.

The study room was brightly lit, Mrs. Chen put the box on the table, "the daughter-in-law will go back there, the three sisters entered the palace for the first time, I'm afraid I'm very panicked"

"Go back, you all rest early tonight, the charcoal fire in the house is indispensable"

Mrs. Chen: "My daughter-in-law knows"
