[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

Tu Yuanyi said: "Little heartless, it is a great grace for you to meet your parents as soon as you book it."

Xing Xiuyan said: "It's not that you only want to meet my parents, you also have concubines visiting relatives!"

Tu Yuanyi's eyes were strange, knowing that his previous life was written in the story book, he couldn't help asking: "Do you want to visit your relatives?"

It was true that I was besieged on all sides back then, the emperor, queen mother, brothers, and civil and military officials were not easy to get along with, and the emperor was really aggrieved.But as she said, sell yourself to the harem, and make a fortune again?That was really a choice when I was young and helpless, but it was a trap.

Xing Xiuyan said: "If you don't want to build a family-friendly villa, I will go there, just like the day of Qixi Festival; if you want to build a family-friendly villa, then forget it. My family has no money, so I can build a garden that I can't enjoy for future generations to excavate archaeological sites? I Not so self-sacrificing for future generations."

Tu Yuanyi chuckled and said, "You want to be beautiful. If you want to see your relatives, you have to build a villa. If you don't, you have to stay in the palace and serve me honestly."

Xing Xiuyan thought of something, and couldn't help but asked with her hands on her cheeks: "Let me ask you, you really didn't make Jia Yuanchun a virtuous concubine and cheated Jia's family?"

Tu Yuanyi said: "There is no need, the Jia family has no money, and the house raid in the previous life is also an empty shell. The money for building the garden belongs to the Lin family, and Lin Ruhai is still there. Now my people are Jing Zhaoyin, punishing the slaves. Still proficient, and take care of everything that doesn’t suit my wishes. Isn’t this what you said the countryside encircled the city? All the power is at the bottom.”

Xing Xiuyan glanced at him sideways, and said, "You're such a bad slut."

Tu Yuanyi smiled: "Thanks for the compliment from my concubine."

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Xing Xiuyan spoke casually, so he said casually, "Is your ability to juggle people self-taught?" Bai Juyi's "Shangyang White-haired Man" said, "I am the oldest middle-aged man in the palace, and everyone bestowed a gift on me from afar." No.', you give someone the title of 'Fengzao Palace Shangshu', satirizing someone's age, and you even get the double character 'Xiande Concubine', which is a posthumous title in ancient times. Jia Yuanchun is too pitiful, the family man wants to rely on her Bo, spend all your wealth and spend your youth, and you still think she is old, so if she is alive, give her a posthumous title as if she is dead."

Tu Yuanyi said: "Didn't the Jia family still feel proud in the past? But this time I really don't blame me. A few years ago, I ordered the queen to let the palace servants who had reached the age of 22 leave the palace. Jia Yuanchun was old, but she went to the palace. I begged the queen, but I insisted on staying with the queen as a female historian, I'm 28 now."

Xing Xiuyan shook her head and sighed, and asked: "It's true in Jia's family, men are useless to exhaust women. But, brother Yuanyi, I have to tell you something. Wang Xifeng, I remind her not to do bad things, and to solve them if she does. Nothing bothering you?"

Tu Yuanyi wondered, "Why do you still look at her differently?"

Xing Xiuyan said: "Because I am Xing Xiuyan now. Originally Xing Xiuyan was poor and had no winter clothes. When I went to stay in Jia's mansion, Wang Xifeng was always sympathetic and considerate. It was her who gave me the winter clothes. Baochai also took care of me. I And ended up marrying her brother."

"That Xue Pan?"

"No, her cousin is quite talented. It is said in the original book that the Xue family was supported by him. He was a young businessman and traveled all over the world at a young age. And... he is very handsome..."

Tu Yuanyi snorted coldly: "Very handsome? You like it, and I cut off his head for your collection?"

Xing Xiuyan smiled with her head down, shook his hand and said: "Beauty/seductive/temptation, I still like you more, no matter how handsome he is, I'm just curious, in my heart, I don't like you. If you two fall into the water at the same time , I can only save one, and I will definitely save you first.”

"You go to the water to save me? Don't be kidding, it's me who rescued you from the pool."

Thinking of his conspiracy in the Lishan Palace back then, she couldn't help laughing, squinting at him, and it turned into sweetness in her heart after a while.

"Then I won't save her, but I don't want Wang Xifeng to die."

Tu Yuanyi said, "You're repaying for something that didn't happen."

Xing Xiuyan said: "There is also Jia Lian. He is proficient in human relations and common affairs. He is still a rare person who has not lost his conscience after being raised and abandoned. Jia Lian secretly married Second Sister You. Some people said that Second Sister You had a bad reputation and made mistakes in the past, but he She doesn't dislike her, saying that she is familiar with no faults, so it's good to change it. Jia Amnesty wanted to snatch the stone nerd's ancient fan, and Jia Lian didn't bully others. He just came to the door and begged someone to let her go. This is an excuse for Guan Shi to be imprisoned. He took the fan and gave it to Jia Amnesty. Jia Amnesty said that someone got it. When Jia Lian found out, he said, "It's nothing to do to make people go bankrupt because of this idea!" 'As a result, he was severely beaten by his father, and there are some others, I will not describe them all. So besides being lewd/slutty, he is also fleshy and attractive, and he is not like Jia Baoyu because of his lewdness. A girl from a good family is not responsible for her reputation. She only looks for promiscuous/slutty/slutty women. Everyone in the world is strict with others and treats themselves leniently, but it is rare for him to understand the difficulties and wishes of others. Much better than hypocrites like Jia Yucun who read poetry and books thoroughly."

But Tu Yuanyi thought for a while, and said: "Since this is the case, if Wang Xifeng's matter has been dealt with, Jia Lian is available. Whether a man is lustful or not is not a big problem for being an official. Men are [-]% lustful, [-]% incompetent, and [-]% stupid. , and [-]% of the sleeves are broken. So the important thing is that you don’t lose your conscience in the midst of wealth, cultivate it, and it will be more reassuring than some people with Jinshi background.”

Xing Xiuyan said: "Brother Yuanyi, I didn't ask you to make him an official, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics."

Tu Yuanyi looked at her, kneaded and played with her hands, and said, "I forgot, they are all talking about other people's affairs, what about yours?"

"What do I have?"

"Concubine Ai was newly conferred today, would you like to thank me?"

"It's just a concubine, I have to thank you? Then I will abandon human relations and boldly make my uncle a husband. Do you want to thank me?"

Tu Yuanyi couldn't help laughing, pinched her face, lowered his head and kissed her lips, kissed her a few times and got up again.

Tu Yuanyi said: "Why don't we celebrate by 'eating food'."

"do not want!"

Tu Yuanyi laughed loudly, hugged her and stroked her concubine gently, and said affectionately, "Good girl, you will be my noble concubine from now on. If my concubine bears a child for me, I will make you my concubine." Royal concubine."

Another child, Xing Xiuyan said: "Children are very troublesome. Giving birth is painful, and the body is deformed. If you give birth to something like Jia Baoyu, forget it."

"Nonsense! How could the child of my concubine and my concubine be like that. Let's raise the child well, and I will make him the crown prince so that I can inherit my clothes."

"You put it that way, I'm under a lot of pressure. Besides, the prince is unlucky. How many princes have been enthroned in history?"

"We are different. The second prince will not be successful in the future. The eldest prince...even though he is a descendant, I will not train him to be a prince. I will definitely raise our son well."

"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? You'd better not give up your two biological sons, what if I can't have one?" Concubine Wan Gui and Concubine Yang have no sons. Her concubine has such big golden thighs?

Tu Yuanyi frowned and said, "Nonsense!"

Tu Yuanyi changed his mind, looked at her suspiciously for a while, and said leisurely: "You don't want to have children?!"

She pays more attention to her own life, and now she doesn't have much interest in children, but she can't say that, so she said: "Modern medical research proves that giving birth too early will affect health, and the best childbearing period is between 28 and 20 years old. Ten Five or six years old are children themselves, and the legal age of marriage in modern times is [-] years old."

Tu Yuanyi frowned, and said, "So that's the case. But here, there are quite a few girls who give birth at the age of thirteen or fourteen. You have spiritual protection, which is different from others."

Under his unusual sizing, Xing Xiuyan felt that he was the "soil for sowing" carefully selected by him, and couldn't help sweating profusely.

……

In Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng brought the juniors back from Shi's house.Mother Jia didn't want them to get close to the Shi family, but she heard that Daiyu was there.Mother Jia still hopes that Daiyu will think of Jia's family and come to raise her.So she uncharacteristically asked her sisters to go with her. Daiyu would miss seeing how lively the house was.

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were talking with Mrs. Jia in the Rongqing Hall. They saw Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng all beaming.

Aunt Xue asked, "Brother Feng, what's good about seeing you?"

Now Wang Xifeng deliberately promoted Mrs. Xing, and said with a smile: "It's not a great thing! I heard that the cousin of the Xing family canonized as a 'Chen Noble Concubine' today. I have long heard that the cousin of the Xing family will get the Sacred Heart as soon as she enters the palace. Crown harem. Look at how long it took. She has become a noble concubine from a talented person, but it is such a great blessing that no one else has. It just so happens that she is the niece of our wife's family, and she was caring to her back then It’s terrible, I lived with my wife, and my wife doesn’t love her like a daughter. Think about the girl who is affectionate and coquettish to her wife and calls her a good aunt, and now she is a noble concubine!”

Wang Xifeng is exaggerating, but Mrs. Xing does not say how much she loves Xing Xiuyan, because Xing Zhong has become an official and has money, and is still close to the Lin family. Mrs. Xing looks at her niece kind of sincerely, unlike the original book.But thinking that marrying Xing Xiuyan from the Xue family in the original book can win her heart and support the golden jade marriage. For this alone, Mrs. Xing naturally treats her niece as her own, otherwise why would she worry about her niece's marriage?She is someone who doesn't care about her sons and daughters, and being able to care about Xing Xiuyan is the most affectionate part of her.

Mrs. Wang's hand holding the Buddhist bead trembled a little, and the stabbing was so hot that there were still pieces of meat.Mrs. Wang also knew that Wang Xifeng had a rift with her long ago, but she made it through.It's not that Wang Xifeng wanted to stab her on purpose, but that her words of praising Mrs. Xing just touched Mrs. Wang's pain.

Aunt Xue smiled slightly, and said, "It really is a good job, then congratulations to the eldest lady."

Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "How can I say that she is the aunt of the empress, she is not as good as her mother. It's just that I was so happy when I saw the empress for the first time, but she is a child who is loved by others. God With eyes, the sage has pity on her and let her have such a good future, I feel at ease as an aunt, so I can only burn incense and pray to Buddha every day to pray for my mother."

There was a hint of complacency in the words, Madam Xing was no longer afraid of Madam Wang anymore, she had an older brother Wang Ziteng, who was promoted to the control of the nine provinces, and after returning from inspections, her color had changed, she was in a high position, but her actual work power was awkward It's not like it used to be.But her niece is the concubine Chen, who is deeply favored by the emperor, and she was a caring niece who obviously ignored Mrs. Wang's face at the beginning.

Jia Mu's eyes darkened, and she said: "The left and right are concubines..." Concubine, what a noble position, it would be great if they were in Yuanchun!

Mrs. Xing didn't know what Jia's mother really thought, so she said unconvinced: "I don't want her to be taller. If she goes up, she will be the empress. I have also heard that there are so many girls entering the palace in this draft, and the empress is the most favored." , was originally a talented person. If he hadn’t won the Sacred Heart, how could he have become the Noble Concubine Yipinchen all of a sudden? I heard from Brother Feng that the saint was enshrined in the harem, and Concubine Wu Ping and Concubine Cui Shun won the positions of Concubine Hui and Concubine Hede , that came out of the hidden mansion, and there are no other people around, only the empress conferred the imperial concubine Chen."

Mrs. Wang felt sour and said, "Okay, no matter what happens to other people's houses, it's none of our business."

These people are full of flowers, have they ever thought about her Yuanchun?Her Yuanchun is in the palace, she is already 28 years old, and she is still working as a female historian beside the queen.Little did she know that she had already assisted Concubine Wu Hui in managing the palace affairs.
