The Wang family of the Red Chamber has a wife

"Mother's little Keqing, you clenched your fists so tightly, are you full?" In front of the carved window, a woman in a pink blouse lowered her head, her kind eyes fell on her arms and she giggled. On the little baby girl, the gentleness between her eyebrows and eyes made her already delicate and elegant face even more holy.This is exactly Qingping, the oiran in the Yanxia Pavilion in the past and the outer room of the current prince Tu Wenshen.

Shuang'er next to her looked at the delicate and tender doll in her master's arms, and she also liked it very much, and said with a smile: "Today, the girl put on this new dress, and her pink face is set off by this pink, but It's really attractive! Why don't the servants take this satin and make two more clothes for the girl?" As he spoke, he pulled out a corner of peach-red material from the box in his hand, and there was a faint golden light on the satin. At first glance, it turned out that it was made by twisting and weaving gold threads as thick as hair and silk.

Hearing this, Qingping sighed and raised his head.There is a thin layer of melancholy clouds hanging between her brows, mixed with the kindness and tenderness towards her beloved daughter, there is a complex and pitiful charm: "Why bother? She is a child, how can she bear it?" Such a great blessing? To be able to make her grow up steadily and peacefully, I will throw away this life and be satisfied!"

After being silent for a long while, Shuang'er bit her lip, with unconcealable worry and wavering in her voice: "Master, should we get rid of...all?"

Qingping's brows twitched, a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes, he stared blankly at the silver teapot with obvious western characteristics on the foreign lacquered plum blossom and gilt table in front of him, and shook his head: "No—don't say whether you can drink it or not. With such a cruel heart, who can be sent to the Central Plains to hide in the dark, which is the fuel-efficient lamp? Besides, we are not that capable now in the inner courtyard..."

After being entangled with Tu Wenshen for three years, now that she has another child, Qingping's determination to dedicate everything to the country in the past has been exhausted.She has been entangled and struggled more than once, but every time she sees her daughter Keqing who was born with great effort, and the man who has always loved and cherished her, the guilt that rises in her heart Eliminated clean.

She is a sharp weapon cultivated by Cheng Qiang, and she has sought news for Cheng Qiang more than once; but now, because of a man's gentle love, she has lost all her abilities, like a sharp edge bound by a scabbard.If the teachers who taught me in the past know about it, they will definitely be convicted of treason and carry out the cruelest punishment in Chengqiang!Qingping looked at her daughter who was blinking with big clear eyes in her arms, and smiled wryly in her heart, her eyes were slightly moist.

However, to be able to get this period of happiness, even if he was really sent to the altar to carry out the punishment of heaven, he would be willing to do so!

Seeing the master's expression, Shuang'er felt her nose sore.

"I only hope that Keqing can grow up smoothly, and don't experience my suffering again in the future..." Qingping couldn't help touching her daughter's cheek, and sighed, the warmth made her shed tears.

Just when he was about to knock on the door, Tu Wenshen heard the sound inside and froze.Standing quietly outside the door, the arm that was about to knock on the door was put down, remembering the sadness and sorrow in that sentence just now, he clenched his loose fist again, a trace of determination floated in his eyes, and turned away.

……

"Tu Wenhuai went back from Yuya Pavilion?" Tu Wenchang sat at the table, holding a yellowed book in his hand, without lifting his eyes, and a sarcasm curled his lips, which made him look completely unaware Like a ten-year-old child.Folding a corner of the book page, he stood up, put the book down casually, walked to the window, stretched out his hand and pinched a blooming light pink azalea, pursed his lips and smiled meaningfully: "It was said back then that he was filial Mother seeks medical treatment, now it looks like it’s nothing more than mediocrity! The azaleas in Yunqing Crown are so elegant and unique. I heard that the imperial concubine of Jinlin Palace loves azaleas very much. You can take a pot home and ask someone to send it to your second brother. House—”

"Yes!" The person who answered at the bottom raised his head, and it was shopkeeper Chen of Jingzhong Tianranju.

Seeing Tu Wenlian waving his hand, shopkeeper Chen gave him a wink, retreated quietly, and closed the door carefully, leaving the room full of silence.

Tu Wenchen was ten years old this year. After Lin Ting passed away, he invited him to go to Yunqingguan outside the capital to observe his filial piety.Taoism was the state religion of the dynasty, and Yunqingguan was the place where royal family members came to offer incense every year. Lin Ting stayed here for seven to seven days, so Tu Gaocheng did not stop him.

Thinking of the news delivered from the palace a few days ago, the anger in Tu Wenchang's eyes swelled.Tu Wenhuai, you are too deceitful!Jing'er is only five years old, and she always follows her own instructions on weekdays, except for being happy in front of her father, she lives in seclusion, how can she bump into Yanqing Palace?It's too late for him to hide!But you took advantage of the powerful Zhen family to make Jing'er have a reputation of being disrespectful to your concubine mother. Do you really think that the father is looking up to you?

However, when his eyes fell on the rhododendron flower that was not long off the branch in his palm, his anger dissipated instantly, replaced by coldness and firmness.Foreseeing that Tu Wenhuai might have a disgraced face in the future, he smiled softly.

"This is the rhododendron in Yunqingguan—" Tu Wenfu looked at the unique pot of rhododendron in front of him, and frowned. Thinking of all the things that happened recently, he nodded, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.It seems that what the concubine mother said is right, Ni Lin, the fourth younger brother, is the fifth younger brother...

He ordered the housekeeper next to him to bring brocade to cover the pot of elegant azalea again, and asked the servant to hold the flower in his arms. Tu Wenfu prepared the car and headed to the palace without delay.

Jinlin Palace.

The owner here is sitting peacefully in front of the table, and the woman in green clothes is kneeling next to her, holding a pot with her bare hands, making tea with her movements like flowing water.

"Wouldn't it be a waste of money to have flowers without tea?" Concubine Chen Guifei put her hands on her knees, sitting gracefully and dignifiedly like Guanyin on a lotus fetus. My son, have a taste of the handicraft of plain silk, she is the aunt of the Ming clan in the south of the Yangtze River! Today, for your pot of azaleas, I specially invited the plain silk from Huining Palace!"

Hearing Concubine Chen Guifei's last words, Tu Wenfu's eyes on the woman in Tsing Yi were obviously surprised. I didn't pay attention to it before, but now I saw the white jade plaque hanging on the waist of the court lady. That's the difference. It is a symbol of the wearer's special status for ordinary court ladies and officials... The moment he met his mother's eyes, he suddenly understood.Still sitting, he bowed to the woman quietly ordering tea with some respect and admiration: "It's really lucky to have this tea from you. It would be impolite for you to call me aunt, Please forgive me!"

Ming Sujuan opened her lips to answer, but her hands did not move at all, and she was not affected at all: "The imperial concubine and the second prince are too polite! It is also Sujuan's luck to see such a good rhododendron today!" speech.

Chen Guifei only watched with a smile, took a cup of green tea soup from her hand, took a deep sniff, only felt refreshed, and couldn't help admiring from the bottom of her heart.

Standing up slowly, before Chen Guifei and Tu Wenfu could speak, Ming Sujuan said goodbye.Concubine Chen Gui didn't say much, but ordered Tu Wenfu to send her out.

When Tu Wenfu came back, Concubine Chen Guifei looked at his tangled and urgent expression, and couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled softly: "The Jiangnan side has always been difficult to control. The Zhen family can't wait to recruit people, but they don't want to think about it. The family has only been established for less than 20 years, how can these famous families pay attention to them? In these families, any brick or stone picked from the ground will be older than them!" What Concubine Chen Guifei was talking about was the Jiangnan Zhen family. Some time ago, he was secretly trying to win over forces.

"Let's take the Gu family in the south of the Yangtze River as an example. Although their Bailu Academy is often compared with the Ren'an Academy founded by your grandfather's family, Ren'an Academy is far inferior to Bailu Academy in terms of background!" Concubine Chen Guifei squinted her eyes slightly, put down the white porcelain teacup in her hand, ripples swayed on the clear tea soup, reflecting all the auspiciousness of the dragon and phoenix painted on the beam above her head: "It is said that the rules in the palace are strict and noble, In fact, it is not as good as compared to the aristocratic family! Otherwise, why would you invite them to teach the princess? This time, there are two aristocratic daughters living in Huining Palace, one is Ming Sujuan from just now, and the other is from the Lu family. of--"

The Huining Palace was established by Emperor Taizu back then, and it was reserved for these teachers from aristocratic families to live in, and the princesses had to go to class in person to show their respect.The aristocratic family has its own special teaching aunt or nanny, who is always respected by the family name.

Tu Wenfu listened quietly, his mother always spoke for a reason, and when he mentioned these things he already knew, he thought there must be some points in it that he needed to pay attention to.

Seeing her son's expression of respect and obedience, Concubine Chen Guizhen sighed in her heart, it's good if she can listen to what she said, as long as she's not like Tu Wenhuai who can't recognize the situation clearly: "Most of these aristocratic families have good relationships with each other, Therefore, it can be regarded as the same spirit, offending one, if not handled well, offending a bunch of them! This is why I want to take care of the relationship between the two brothers, the concubine Yi—the imperial concubine Zhaoyi is the Lin family of Gusu Don’t look at the fact that the Lin family is also honorable and honorable now, they are not the same as those four kings and eight princes, and the Lin family had an emperor teacher when they were in the previous dynasty!”

Hearing this kind of thing for the first time, Tu Wenfu couldn't help being dumbfounded.

"Although the imperial concubine Zhaoyi is dead, the Lin family is still there. The daughter of a prince can bring a dowry into the palace. In the past, I was in charge of palace affairs. I have seen the things that the Marquis of Jing'an prepared for the imperial concubine Zhaoyi. Heavy!" Concubine Chen Guifei thought of the record she saw back then, and she couldn't help sighing secretly, thinking that Lin Ting must have been favored when she was in her boudoir: "We took care of the fourth and fifth princes, which can be regarded as expressing our love to the Lin family. Goodwill——As for Tu Wenhuai, hmph, I'm afraid the Zhen family won't get any good in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Tu Wenfu nodded, thinking of Tu Wenhuai's publicity, he gloated and said with a gleeful smile: "The third emperor is really careless, mother concubine, tell me, do you want to make a fuss about him going to Yuyage?"

Hearing this, Chen Guifei pondered for a moment, but shook her head: "We can't start an article! Have you forgotten what happened to the crown prince that day? Your Majesty values ​​the reputation of the royal family, and we will never allow another similar incident to happen. It's better to start with other things—" Her eyes were as bright as morning stars, and the subtle lines at the corners of her eyes were revealed through the powder, but because of this radiant look, she did not appear to be aging.

……

"Sister Ming, what did Jinlin Palace invite you to do?" Ming Sujuan asked after returning to Huining Palace when she heard a familiar voice.

Ming Sujuan looked up, smiled, and signaled her maid to go out and guard the door: "I ordered a few cups of tea, it was very boring, and the flowers bloomed well, but unfortunately, the people who appreciate the flowers are not pure-minded. !" Walking slowly, walked to the table and sat down, the tassel of pearls, jade and emeralds on the side of the skirt did not hear the slightest sound, only a thin pleat on the side of the skirt was rippling like a wave.

The person who asked the question was another teacher Chen Guifei said, her name was Lu You, she picked up the cup of tea in her hand, and took a sip: "Hey, if it wasn't for the cold, I think Sister Lin would have come with me."

"What are you doing here? See how Miss Lin's son is being bullied by the Zhen family?" Ming Sujuan was also drinking tea, with a hint of disgust on her brows: "Sister Lin loves Miss Lin the most. I don't even like her, with her fiery temper, I think I can slap her on the spot!"

"It's also—" Lu You sighed: "It's a pity that the fifth prince is so talented, if he is sent to Bailu, he might become a generation of masters! It's a pity that in this palace..."

Ming Sujuan's heart moved, thoughtful.
