The Kangping Life of Mrs. Xing in Honglou

Chapter 47

When Xing Yue was confinement, she handed a sign to the palace, begging to see Concubine Rou.On the first day of next month, Xing Yue entered the palace, first to greet the empress, and then went down to Yongning Palace under the leadership of the servants.

Yingchun knew it early in the morning and was waiting for Xing Yue. She sat there, stretched her neck and looked towards the gate of the palace from time to time, and asked the waiters around her if the general's wife had come. Xing Yue has arrived.

"The minister's wife pays respects to the concubine Rou." Xing Yue bowed to Yingchun according to the etiquette, and couldn't help cursing secretly in her heart, this ancient rule really killed people, the mother wants to pay respects to her daughter.

Yingchun hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, "Mother, you don't need to be polite, mother, how is the family, grandma, and father? How come you didn't bring your little sister?" Yingchun knew that Xing Yue gave birth to a younger sister. Wyatt asked a series of questions.

"Everything is fine at home. The old lady and the master are both healthy. Your eldest brother wrote to say that your sister-in-law is healthy again. Brother Cong is a good student. Wan'er is only three months old and is not fit to come out. When she grows up, I will take care of her." Bring her into the palace for you to see." Xing Yue said, and finished with Yingchun.

"Who does my younger sister look like? If she looks like my mother, she will definitely be a beauty in the future." Yingchun said with a smile, holding Xing Yue's hand. "Ma'am, that's right. Miss Wan and Mrs. Wan are printed in the same mold. They are pink and tender, very attractive, and the master likes them very much." Said the girl who followed Xing Yue into the palace.

"I'm talking to my empress, what are you talking about." Xing Yue scolded with a smile, and then said to Yingchun: "Your father usually dotes on children, maybe they are old women, and he likes them even more, but don't spoil them. The domineering Miss Jiao came out. By the way, Lian'er was let go of her post and knew that you had entered the palace late, so she sent someone to deliver something and asked me to bring it to you." Xing Yue said to Yingchun with a smile, and asked someone to carry the things Come in.

Yingchun sent someone to put away the things, taking advantage of the time when the palace people were out, Yingchun let Qingyun and Qingyu hold hands by the door, and the mother and daughter talked. "You keep these banknotes as rewards." Xing Yue took out a roll of banknotes from his sleeve and gave it to Yingchun.

"Mother, how did this work? I gave it to me. What can I do at home? In the future, Cong'er will take a scientific examination, marry a wife, and my sister will get married. That must not require money." Yingchun saw that the large amount was 10 taels. Silver, she was in charge of the house before, so why didn't she know that it would take more than two years for the family to save more than one hundred thousand taels, and now there is probably no silver in the treasury.

"Your brother gave it to you. He said that it was not easy for you to stay in the palace. There are many places for money. You have also managed the house. You know what our house is like. You don't need to worry about the house. You can safely keep these silver bills." Right." Xing Yue said with a smile.

"Thank you mother, thank you brother, I will accept it this time, but next time, when mother comes in, don't bring me any money. I am in the palace now, I only want to be safe, I have nothing else to do, and the expenses are not big. "Yingchun didn't ask for her in the palace, and the empress took care of it. On weekdays, she had all the expenses. In addition to rewarding money, there was also a ceremony in the palace. There was no other expenses on weekdays. She entered the palace for a year. It only cost less than 5000 taels of silver, and after a year, she also received a lot of rewards.

"You live well in the palace, and we can feel at ease outside the palace." Xing Yue didn't know how Yingchun was in the palace, but they always feel at ease when they have money in their hands.

"Brother's term is up this year, do you have other plans." Yingchun asked.

"Your Majesty, you can live a peaceful life in the palace, and don't worry about family affairs. As for your brother's affairs, the Ministry of Households has its own appointment, so don't mention it before Your Majesty. These things are not ours. Women in the back house can intervene." Xing Yue and Jia She never thought of getting any benefits from Yingchun, as long as she is safe in the palace, don't get involved in the disputes in the harem and affect the family, the Holy One has long wanted to clean up this matter. Help the disobedient meritorious family.After Yingchun entered the palace, Bachelor Yan analyzed the pros and cons for Jia She.

There is a time limit for a woman to enter the palace, and Xing Yue will leave the palace when the time comes.When Yingchun was looking at the things that Xing Yue brought into the palace, she heard the voice of the Holy Majesty coming, and she didn't care about cleaning up, so she took someone out to welcome her.

"Is this something brought to you by the general's wife?" The Holy Majesty asked after entering the hall, looking at the many things on the table, including many valuables. The Holy Majesty was playing with a small piece of coral.

"Yes, Your Majesty, these things were sent by my concubine from Huizhou. Huizhou produces pearls and corals." Yingchun said with a smile. There were many corals and South Sea pearls in it, as well as some South Sea jewels. She was at home. I have seen a lot of Nanyang jewelry.

"The workmanship is exquisite. I remember that Jia Lian's prefect of Huizhou has expired this year. What did the first lady say when she entered the palace?" The Holy Majesty picked up a piece of Nanyang jewelry, which he didn't see much in the palace.

"The concubine just raised her head in front of her mother today, but was scolded by her mother. The mother said, as long as I serve the Holy Majesty well in the palace, it is fine for a concubine and a woman to intervene in the affairs of the previous dynasty." Yingchun Seeing that the sage was in a good mood, he smiled and complained, looking like a pretty girl.

Yingchun smiled and took out a set of Go from the box, the mutton fat jade chessboard, and the black and white chess pieces of Lantian jade, these are Jia She's collection, and this time Xing Yue took them over and sent them to Yingchun's palace.

"Being the concubine of the Holy Majesty has a lot of benefits. This set of Go was left to my father by my great-grandmother. My father cherished it very much. I asked for it many times, but my father hid it and refused to give it to me. No, it didn't end up in my concubine's hands. "Yingchun looked triumphant that he had earned a lot of money.Yingchun asked people to put away all other things, leaving only this chess set, and played Go with Sheng.

After playing a few games of chess with Yingchun, the sage went back to deal with official business. The first thing the sage went back was to ask the hidden guard to report the conversation between Xing Yue and Yingchun today, and think about Yingchun's attitude towards those jewels. The palace is also good, Yingchun doesn't pay attention to those things, it seems that it is because of seeing too much.

"The Jia family returned Ku Yin, how have you been these past few years?" The Holy Master played with the chess pieces and made a move in Yingchun's hand, and Jia Shen's treasured go finally came into the hands of the Holy Master.

"Returning to the emperor, since the first-class general returned Ku Yin, the family has been frugal a lot. The first-class general has not bought calligraphy and painting antiques outside in the past few years. He said that he wanted to save money for his son and daughter's marriage. Mrs. General He and Huizhou prefect's wife are both good at management, and have invested in the north-south goods business in the past few years, and have earned 20 million taels of silver in the past few years." Xing Yue has no idea that the Holy Majesty has already checked their family's family background.

Hearing these words, the Holy Majesty sneered in his heart, it is good that the Jia family is like this, at least they will not lose money in the national treasury, the other moths, especially the Zhen family, owe the money to the national treasury and do not pay back, and live extravagantly all day long life.

The more the Holy One thought about it, the more unwilling he became, so he went to invite the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager, saying that the concubine has only been in the palace for many years, and she has abandoned her parents' voice and appearance. Every February and Sixth, the family members of Qijiaofang are allowed to enter the palace, please wait and see. "These people, when they enter the palace, they are not allowed to prepare gifts and silver tickets for their daughters, which will all belong to the royal family at that time.

The Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager were overjoyed, praising the sage for their filial piety, and the two made another decree that if there is a house in the other courtyard of Chongyu, they will not let go of inviting the inner court Luanyu into their private residence, so that the common people can completely use their flesh and blood, and the family relationship is the ultimate . "

As soon as this decree came out, all the concubines' houses were in motion. Xing Yue and Jia She were worried when they received this decree.On February [-]th, the old lady and Xing Yue entered the palace to meet Mrs. Jia and Concubine Rou.Mentioning the matter of visiting relatives, Yuan Chun cried and said that she had been in the palace for more than ten years, but she had forgotten what her family was like, and Baoyu, if she missed this opportunity, she might never see her again. Forced to let the family build a family-saving villa.

Seeing Yuan Chun's appearance, Xing Yue didn't reply. She was not Jia Yuanchun's biological mother, Mrs. Wang, who was promised to build a provincial house after Yuan Chun shed a few tears. They still have a girl in their big house. Yingchun said: "Old lady, Mother, Saint Long En, it is a great grace to be able to see her family on the [-]th of every month, why bother to build a family-friendly villa.”

Well, the opinions of the two nobles in the palace were at odds. When Yingchun's words came out, Yuanchun's side became embarrassed. If the two families had separated, Yuanchun's family did not have an official position, and even the one who entered the palace today did not have a second wife. There are only the old lady and Xing Yue of the big house, her position is rather embarrassing, and she can't intercede for her father in front of the old saint. This is disrespectful, disregarding court etiquette, and there is no possibility of being rehabilitated .

Yuan Chun once again resented the old lady. If the old lady had not suppressed the big house and let her parents live in the main house, her father would not have been dismissed from office now. She would be embarrassed today.

Seeing what Yingchun said, Yuan Chun didn't speak anymore, but just held the old lady's hand to wipe away tears, seeing that she wanted the old lady to make decisions for her, and she wanted to go home and have a look.

Xing Yue didn't care about her, just chatting with Yingchun, talking about family affairs and Jia Wan's funny things.Seeing this, the old lady saw that Yuan Chun was brought up by her, and now she has been in the palace for many years, so she said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, my old body will definitely satisfy your Majesty." As a result, the old lady and Xing Yue both left the palace silently.

When they got home, the old lady called everyone together, told about the affairs in the palace, and then talked about the construction of the province's villa. Xing Yue saw the excitement of the old lady's talk, and said coolly: "Old lady, It's too noble who wants to go home and have a look. The concubine Rou said that she would be satisfied if she could see her family every month. Besides, Mrs. Wang has just been away for a few months. As a child, she has to observe filial piety for three years. The empress is a member of the royal family, so she is not bound by this, but the second house is still in filial piety, so it is not appropriate to start construction." One sentence implies that Yuan Chun is not filial.

As soon as Xing Yue said these words, even the old lady became embarrassed. She stared at Xing Yue bitterly and said, "Boss daughter-in-law, you mean not to build this family-saving villa. Boss, you also mean the same." Press Jia Amnesty and Xing Yue.

"Old lady, since you are too noble, you want to go home and have a look. As a courtier, you dare not disobey your mother's will, but how to build this relative's villa and where to build it, the old lady has an idea in mind?" Jia She came forward To smooth things over, this must be clearly stated, the second room girl wants to visit her relatives, this must be clearly stated no matter what.

The East Mansion just sat there, drinking tea, and watching a play. There were two nobles from the West Mansion. One wanted to visit relatives, and the other objected. Speak up.

"Let's build it in the garden of Fuchu." The old lady said.

"Old lady, this is inappropriate. The two families have already separated, and the second brother's family has moved out of the mansion to live in the mansion for a few years. It is not suitable for the family's family's villa to be built in the mansion." After hearing this, Xing Yue became furious. Well, the old lady has Yuanchun backing her, and Xing Yue has Yingchun behind her, so the old lady can't do anything to Xing Yue.

"Old lady, why don't you buy a piece of land in the outskirts of the city and build another courtyard there." Mrs. Liu hurriedly smoothed things over, and Mrs. Liu didn't want the eldest girl to go home to visit her relatives, but there were some things she couldn't say.
