[Red House] Harem Road in Spring

Yes, it doesn't matter whether it's Jia Zheng or the old lady Jia's thoughts, what matters is Tanchun herself, what she wants to do, whether to enter the palace or rely on the lintel of Rongguo Mansion to be a first wife outside the palace after the draft.

After Yingchun asked, Tanchun didn't answer. She looked up at Yingchun and asked, "Second sister, what do you think? Do you want me to enter the palace to help you or marry outside the palace?"

Yingchun laughed, and she said, "Third sister, it is impossible for others to walk your future path for you, you can only walk it yourself. In this process, you can only swallow it yourself, whether it is bitter or sweet. How could it be chosen for you!"

"I know that my sister treats us sisters close. Today, relying on this closeness, my sister wants to ask my sister, if I enter the palace according to my father's wishes, how will my sister treat me? If I marry outside the palace, how will my sister treat me?" How?" Tanchun asked with determination in his eyes.

Yingchun replied calmly, "If you want to enter the palace, you can report it according to the requirements for next year's election. Whether you can be selected depends entirely on your ability, and what you will do in the palace in the future also depends entirely on your ability."

To put it bluntly, if Tanchun entered the palace, she would not take care of Tanchun for the sake of being a cousin. Moreover, from now on, in her eyes, Tanchun was not a cousin, but a member of the palace. The concubine is gone, and all concubines in the palace, Yingchun needs to be on guard, and Tanchun is no exception.

"If you want to marry outside the palace, the old lady or the second master can choose someone for you or make a betrothal. You can also tell me what kind of husband-in-law you want, and I will choose a husband for you and give you a marriage." Yingchun continued.

After Yingchun's words fell, Tanchun suddenly hugged Yingchun's arm, shook it gently, and said coquettishly, "Second sister, are you angry? But I don't know what will happen to my choice. I am close and treat me well." Among the people, my aunt is locked in the back house and has no experience, Huan'er is still young and doesn't know anything, sister Lin and the others are still in the boudoir, and don't know what will happen when they get married, so I can only ask the second sister."

Yingchun didn't delve too deeply into it, and said with a smile, "As your older sister, I naturally wish you well. If you have anything private to say, or encounter any difficulties, feel free to come to me."

For these girls in Rongguo Mansion, she also hopes that they can have a happy life.

"Second sister, I'm not polite to say that about my younger sister." Tanchun said.

"I didn't ask you to be polite, let's hear what's going on." Yingchun said.

Tan Chun sighed and said, "Since the second master had the idea of ​​sending me into the palace, I also went to the second master and told the second master that I don't want to enter the palace, but the second master said that if I don't enter the palace, What kind of good family can I find for a concubine of a fifth-rank official, and said that if I insist on not obeying, he will immediately find a concubine of a fifth-rank official to marry me."

Tanchun's tone was sad, "Second sister, it would be fine if the second master finds me a bastard who knows how to make progress. I'm not someone who can't bear hardships, but I'm afraid that the second master will think I'm disobedient and marry me at will. You bastard, what hope do you have for that day?"

"Second sister, help me!" Tanchun begged.

Yingchun patted Tanchun's hand holding her arm, and said, "Why panic, the old lady is still there, Rongguo Mansion has not separated yet, you are a girl from Rongguo Mansion, not the concubine daughter of a fifth-rank official , what's more, you have a cousin who is the queen, even the second master, I don't dare to be sloppy in your marriage."

It's not that Yingchun feels good about herself, but the reality is like this. Only the queen's cousin will add a lot of points to Tanchun and others. Everyone will think that the reason why the queen can rule the harem is because of her intelligence and acceptance at home. As the queen's cousin, they grew up together. The family education should be similar, and they will definitely be able to take care of the back house and become a good housekeeper.

Although the marriage at this time pays attention to being well-matched, family education will also be carefully considered.

"But the old lady is getting old, she seldom socializes anymore, and she doesn't have the energy to manage our marriage. The eldest wife doesn't do anything, and the second wife doesn't care about it. We are four sisters. The marriage of Yichun's younger sister is personally supervised by the third master. My sister's marriage is also watched by Uncle Lin, only sister Xichun and I, the elders are unreliable, I, we..."

"Forget it, if you don't care about the people in the mansion, let me see them for you!" Yingchun said, this is probably what Tanchun was so anxious to ask for.

Regarding matters related to the future life, Tanchun didn't care about his daughter's shyness at this time, and said quickly, "Thank you second sister, I will trouble second sister about my sister's affairs."

Yingchun nodded and asked, "What kind of family do you want to marry? Or what kind of life do you want to live?"

Tanchun, who no one can plan for her, has thought it through long ago. She can't be shy about this matter, and must express herself clearly. Only in this way can she live comfortably in the future.

"I don't ask what the other party's family background is. I only hope that the person I marry is a capable and motivated person." Tanchun said the answer after careful consideration.

Yingchun was convinced that she saw ambition from Tanchun's swollen eyes, the ambition to make her husband a marquis and prime minister.

"A person who is capable and motivated is naturally an excellent husband-in-law candidate, but in many cases, those who are motivated are often not thinking about their wives and children. Sister Tanchun should have heard a sentence, regretting that her husband and son-in-law seek a title. " Yingchun reminded.

"As a man, I should take a long view. As for the back house, there is me!" Tanchun said.

"Okay, I'll help you pay attention." Yingchun said, she knew what Tanchun wanted, she wanted her husband and son-in-law to be famous, high-ranking officials and generous salary.

Seeing Yingchun agreeing, Tanchun heaved a sigh of relief, and came back to his senses, thinking about her performance just now, a girl who had not left the cabinet opened her mouth to marry her husband and her son-in-law, and finally a rosy glow appeared on her face, and she had a daughter. shy look.

"I know I'm shy, I just thought you were too young to understand the relationship between children!" Yingchun laughed.

"I can't help it. I can't be shy when the road ahead is bleak." Tanchun said.

"Are you relieved now?" Yingchun asked with a smile.

Tan Chun blushed and nodded.

"By the way, you often play with Yichun, Sister Lin, and Xichun, do you know the relationship between the three of them, and do the elders in the family have any rules?" Yingchun asked.

After she became a queen, neither the Rongguo Mansion nor other relatives were willing to tell her the uncertain things, and I don't know if it was because they were worried that the matter would not work out and lose face after telling her.

Tanchun showed a bit of envy on his face, and said, "Sister Lin and Sister Yichun's marriage is settled!"

"Oh?" Yingchun was very interested, and more importantly, she wanted to help the two younger sisters.

Tanchun said, "Sister Lin's marriage was chosen by Aunt Lin's father from among his own students. He said that the person's parents died, but he was extremely talented and learned, and his character was even better. That's why he was lucky to be married to Lin. Under my uncle's family, Aunt Lin's father taught himself. This person has already passed the Juren examination at a young age. I heard that if the marriage is successful, they will settle in front of Uncle Lin, and will adopt the second son to the Lin family to inherit the incense of the Lin family. .”

"Both parents died?" Yingchun asked.

"Yes." Tanchun nodded affirmatively. She was also surprised when she learned of this. After all, many people said that the death of both parents is a hard life, and it is a big shortcoming when talking about marriage. I still remember when she showed surprise in her eyes, Sister Lin said calmly, "Both his parents died, and I am the eldest daughter of the bereaved mother, which is also fate."

"Since Aunt Lin's father picked out the person after his own teaching, he can't be wrong." Yingchun said, she was still a little worried at first, but Lin Ruhai's kind of person who has retreated from the chaotic Jiangnan officialdom is definitely the only one with sharp eyesight. , presumably his student must be entrusted to Sister Lin for life.

"Where's Yichun? Have you made a decision?" Yichun asked.

"We are talking. The third master is looking for the eldest son of the Shanchang family of Shanling Academy in the suburbs of Jinling. I heard that the young master has passed the Juren examination early, but he is not interested in official career and refuses to go to the examination. I want to be a teacher at Shanling Academy." Tanchun said.

Shanchang's family in Shanling Academy, this family has also heard about the Spring Festival. Their family does not enter the officialdom, they follow the route of celebrities, and they are also the famous Li family of scholarly family.

Shanling Academy has been passed down for hundreds of years. It can be said that there are peaches and plums all over the world. The Li family is extremely talented, but as long as they are Li family members, most of them have a habit, that is, they don't like the court to be a teacher, so most of them will not enter the court. , but also because their family has always paid attention to cultivating talents, and because the ancients paid attention to incense and inheritance, a master-student relationship, so that although the members of the Li family do not set foot in the court, they have enough contacts in the court.

If you marry into the Li family, not only will you not have to deal with officials and wives because of your responsibilities as a concubine, but you will also be able to live a free life with your husband without being bullied by others. Made a good marriage.

"Where's Xichun?" Yingchun asked.

Worry flashed across Tanchun's face, and he said, "Sister Xichun's situation is not as good as mine, anyway, I am also the empress's cousin, so I can enter the palace and ask the empress to make decisions, but it's a pity that sister Chun, her father is still alive but refuses to take care of her. Eldest brother Jing has never thought of having such a younger sister, even if younger sister Xichun has a heart, it is not easy to go beyond her father and elder brother and ask her second elder sister to look after her for her."

The most important thing is that the old lady is afraid that people will gossip about her second sister and the Rongguo Mansion, so she refuses to go over Xichun's father and brother to see Xichun's marriage.

"At the beginning, since Sister Xichun's father entrusted Sister Xichun to the Rongguo Mansion, this naturally included the matter of seeing her for Sister Xichun." Yingchun said.

Tanchun's eyes lit up, he looked at Yingchun, and said, "Second Sister means..."

"Since you grew up in the Rongguo Mansion, the people in the Rongguo Mansion can naturally take care of your marriage. I will prepare a dowry for each of you. If you don't have a dowry, you can use a dowry to replace the dowry." Yingchun said.

Tanchun was overjoyed, and said, "My sister thanked my elder sister, and also thanked my second sister for my sister Xichun's great kindness."

"There is a need to thank you, sisters, I am only happy that you have a good life." Yi Yi said, "After I ask Xichun, I will also pick someone for Xichun by the way.".
