The Weight of the Red Mansion Walks the Road of Life

Chapter 28

Before Jia Zhu's specific errands were finished, Yuan Chun had already returned from the palace.

Since it was accused of marriage, she always had to go home and get married, so she couldn't get married directly from Concubine Li's palace, right?

Yuanchun's return this time, although not as glorious and prosperous as when the noble concubine visited relatives in her previous life, but at least she has become a future princess, and it can be regarded as a return home.

To be honest, even when Jia Mu was young, she felt that Yuan Chun, who was born on the first day of the new year, was born with great fortune, but with the death of Jia Daishan and Jia Zheng's official career, no matter how slow Jia Mu was, she should Realizing that Yuan Chun's future is very limited - the only hope is to be a high-ranking concubine, and with Yuan Chun's appearance and ability, he may be able to fight for a future.

That's why the Rongguo Mansion sent Yuan Chun into the palace to select female officials.

Although they were rushing to the prince's concubine at that time, the concubine of a future prince may not be inferior to the concubine of Qianlongqian mansion.

Especially when Yuan Chun has been wasted for many years and sees his youth no longer.

Even if the twelfth prince Tu Mingjun is not in a hurry to marry the concubine at the age of the twelfth prince, after all, Yuan Chun, who is the twelve concubine, is not too young, so the marriage is actually quite urgent, but after giving four It took more than a month of preparation time, and it happened to be an auspicious day that didn't seem too impatient and was as close as possible.

There are rules and regulations for a prince to marry a concubine, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has to deal with it urgently. The prince and concubine don't have to worry about it. At most, it is Li Concubine who needs to enlighten her son who is obviously not happy.On the other hand, the Rongguo Mansion had to rush to arrange a dowry for Yuanchun, so it was even more hasty.

Preparing a generous dowry for the concubine is no less economical than building a family-friendly villa. Although the twelve princes are not outstanding among the many princes of the Holy Majesty, they are the Holy Majesty's own sons, and the position of a prince is always indispensable.Although Wang Ziteng at the other end of the Wang family may not be interested in a powerless prince, but in the eyes of other old relatives who have been declining day by day, the position of this princess is worthy of their good relationship.

Not only did Dafang and Ningguo Mansion raise money, Xue’s family, who borrowed from Rongguo Mansion, not only donated a large amount of money, but also helped Mrs. Wang supervise Yuanchun’s dowry, choosing a lot from their own collection of goods. Good things were added to Yuanchun's dowry.

In any case, it is too late to make furniture, so I can only pick some old furniture made of high-quality materials from the warehouse, and repaint it. If there is no time to make too many new clothes and jewelry, then I might as well prepare more high-quality clothing materials and precious stones. .Not only did Mother Jia take out a lot of her own house to add to Yuanchun's dowry, but Mrs. Wang even added a lot of good things to her daughter in private.

Therefore, even if it took less than four months to get married from the finger marriage, when the real day came, Yuan Chun's dowry would still be acceptable.

Back then when Jia Daishan was still there, the dowry of his prostitute Jia Min was a serious red makeup, even now it is worthy of people's admiration.And in Yuanchun's generation, probably because Yuanchun's background was relatively low among his sisters-in-law, the dowry was even more generous.

For Yuan Chun's marriage, Jia Zhu also took a day off, and went out as an elder brother carrying Yuan Chun on his back.

I don't know if it's because Concubine Li has persuaded him in private, or because he thinks that Yuanchun has an elder brother who is a Jinshi and has a promising future. Anyway, the face of the Twelfth Prince was pretty good when he greeted him, at least not so cold His face made it obvious that he didn't want to come.

As a special case among the new scholars, Jia Zhu did not have to wait in the official department like many students in the same period. Instead, he got the emperor's will while posting the list, and appointed him as the cabinet secretary.

In this dynasty, there has always been a saying that non-Hanlin will not be admitted to the Imperial Academy. After each palace examination, except for the first three people who are naturally admitted to the Imperial Academy, the rest of the people have to pass the exam to determine whether they can enter the Imperial Academy. It is obviously difficult to be admitted to the Hanlin with his knowledge, but the Holy Majesty directly threw Jia Zhu into the cabinet after considering it.

From the point of view of being awarded the No. [-] official position from the sixth-rank official position, Tanhua is awarded the official position of the seventh-rank official position. It is not a big deal for Jia Zhu to get a seventh-rank official position as a Jinshi. The only advantage is that there are always more after being a cabinet secretary It's just that the time can appear in front of the imperial court, it is indeed a good thing, and the future is promising.

It was also because Yuan Chun had such a good-for-nothing older brother that the Twelfth Prince still had some hopes for his Yue family.

----split line----

Now that Yuanchun was married, and she was married with a good reputation, Mrs. Wang couldn't say that she didn't let go of a big stone in her heart.

The eldest son and the eldest daughter have a bright future, so Mrs. Wang has the time to pay attention to the marriage of the youngest son and the concubine.

Twelve or thirteen-year-old girls are actually about to meet and get married, but eleven- or twelve-year-old boys are really not in too much of a hurry.Since Mrs. Wang has treated Yingchun well for more than ten years, she is not stingy to give her heart to this last shiver.

As for the marriage of the youngest son, as long as there is a girl of the right age at the end of the Wang family, that's all. Since there is no girl of the right age to match, Mrs. Wang simply doesn't want to think about getting married, just to get another one like Li Wan. It doesn't matter to my daughter-in-law.

As for Xue Baochai—now there is no Lin Daiyu, a candidate she dislikes, and she doesn't have to rely on her youngest son. Xue Baochai is born as a merchant girl and is a few years older than Baoyu. In fact, Mrs. Wang is Unlikely to consider her.And since Mrs. Wang didn't show this intention, it is impossible for Aunt Xue to bring up this matter. Even Aunt Xue never thought of choosing a son-in-law for Baochai who was several years younger. Before Pan had time to cause more trouble, Aunt Xue had already started to think about marriage for Baochai.

However, although Xue Baochai had everything in person, but after all, he came from a lower family background. Mrs. Wang wanted to find an official son-in-law for Xue Baochai, but she couldn't think of anything good for a while.

In contrast, Yingchun's wedding is easier to handle.

Although Yingchun was born as a concubine, but after all, there is a brother who has a promising future as a Jinshi, and a sister who has just married into the royal family and is raised by her mother. It's time to welcome the Spring Festival, but after all, many people are still moved.

Although Mrs. Wang didn't mean to criticize Yingchun, she was not very popular when she went out because of her lack of literacy since she was young, so she developed a habit of not going out. She didn't go out to see each other's marriage, let alone changed her habit specially to welcome the spring.Although it's not that no one came to visit Rongguo Mansion, but after all, those families have various deficiencies, and there is nothing suitable after all.

In the end, Li Wan thought about the close relationship with his sister-in-law, and asked her natal mother to come forward to look at it, but she decided to give Yingchun a child from her natal family's direct branch, and now she is also a scholar.

The Li family is actually not considered a wealthy family. With Li's father's position as a fourth-rank Guozijian Jijiu, he is already considered a relatively prominent branch in the clan, but the Li family is also from a scholarly family. With Li Wan talking about it, it is very difficult to form this kind of marriage—even if Yingchun is actually married.

The so-called marriage of children has always been ordered by the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Although Jia Zheng himself did not enter the imperial examination, he has always loved scholars. He not only asked his son to study since he was a child, but also married his eldest son to a scholarly family. Girl, when it comes time to choose a son-in-law for your daughter, since the concubine's daughter has already married into a high-ranking family as she wished, then the marriage of the concubine's daughter doesn't have to be high, and it would be great to marry another scholarly family.

As for Mrs. Wang, because Yuanchun's dowry was too generous before, and there were two girls in the Rongguo Mansion who were about to leave the court, so naturally some people would stare at them—if Yingchun was assigned to a declining noble family At that time, there will be a lot of talk on the dowry, but if it is matched to the scholarly family's family, then the requirements for such things as dowry are really not high.

So when Yingchun's parents didn't have any objections, Li Wan took the opportunity to take Yingchun back to her natal family, and "coincidentally" ran into her grandma from her family's family who happened to be a guest at her family's home.

Li Shouzhong had only one daughter, Li Wan, in his whole life, which was a great pity in his life. Although Li Shouzhong had given most of his family property to his daughter as a dowry, there were still many people in the clan who coveted the position of heir in his family.Originally, Li Shouzhong also planned to think about the issue of adoption after his daughter came out of the cabinet and gained a firm foothold in her husband's house, so he simply asked Mrs. Li to invite someone to discuss it.

——Of course, what is actually the reason is for the beholder to see the wisdom of the benevolent.

The grandmother of this clan's hometown has two young sons under her knees. The eldest son has long been married and has a son who is currently serving in other provinces. In recent years, he may not be able to return to Beijing. The second son is still young and is currently studying in the Imperial College. The marriage is still under consideration. Look at each other.

Although they are both biological children, after all, the scholarly family has stricter rules and pays attention to the difference between the elder and the younger—even if the eldest son and daughter-in-law have gone abroad with her husband, the family's midwife will still not be handed over to the younger daughter-in-law. inside.

Therefore, when choosing a marriage for the youngest son, he had to be a little more careful, lest the youngest daughter-in-law would be a troublemaker.

And Yingchun's temperament happens to be the most docile.

Although it's not that Yingchun didn't learn the skills and tricks of housekeeping from Mrs. Wang, after all, her nature is not to pinch the top and seize power. Although she is not as cowardly as in her previous life, it is always impossible to become strong in vain. There is a taste of Taoism's innocence and inaction.

Anyway, Mrs. Li, who came to Li Wan's house as a guest, was quite satisfied.
