It's Hard to Be the Concubine of the Red Chamber

Chapter [-]

The affairs outside the palace have nothing to do with the inside of the palace, at least Yuan Chun is too lazy to care about it.The so-called practice is personal, Yuan Chun felt that she had done enough as a sister, not only gave Tan Chun the status she wanted most, but also arranged for her a husband who was destined to have a bright future. Life was unsatisfactory, and Yuan Chun also thought that he had done his best and had nothing to owe.

Because the marriage involved the Cheng'en Gong's mansion, so even if the two families had no intention of asking Tu Mingxuan for the marriage, Tu Mingxuan still knew about it.

This matter actually involved a little bit of shady thinking in Cheng Engong's mansion, even if the queen mother didn't talk too much with her son, she only talked about the official scene of a man and a woman, and didn't say much.So Tu Minghao was completely unable to express his curiosity, so he had to go to the other party, Yuan Chun, again.

As for Yuan Chun, there was nothing to shy away from, and she could even act as if she didn't know about Cheng Engong's affairs.

At least that's what Yuan Chun thought, and she only said a little bit about the affairs of Duke Cheng'en's mansion, for example, this lady is now a stepmother.

"Not to mention, although the concubine's natal family has lost power, the foundation is still there. At least the girls who have been educated are enough to be beautiful. The third son of Cheng En's family is not fake, but he is born of his original spouse. Several sons may not want the original spouse to be too powerful, and naturally they don't want the third son's daughter-in-law to have a good background. And the background of the concubine's sister is actually not good enough. This concubine, concubine, makes her reputation sound glamorous, but I am afraid that marriage will be difficult." The fact that Mrs. Cheng Engong's eldest son was originally the stepmother is completely needless to say, and Tu Mingxuan naturally knows it. What Yuan Chun said This kind of psychological situation is understandable after thinking about it.

As for the issue of Fuzheng's concubine and concubines not being separated from concubine and concubines in Cheng Engong's mansion, although it is not a secret, Yuan Chun does not intend to let this matter out of his own mouth, no matter whether Tu Mingxun knows about it or not. .

As for the impropriety behind the glamor of this marriage, Yuan Chun will not hide it all.

But fortunately, Tu Mingxuan may not have too much affection for the foreign family, but he has maintained a harmonious and glamorous appearance. Seeing that the Li family is safe and sensible enough, as a grandson, he will not be stingy with some honor on the surface. But if the Li family committed suicide by themselves, Tu Mingjun would not stop him.

"What's the queen mother's reaction?" For Tu Mingjun, the only thing he worried about was what the queen mother thought.Although he didn't bother to pay attention to the affairs of the Li family, he had lived with his mother in the harem for many years. If his mother was upset about the affairs of the Li family, it was also not what he wanted to see.

"The empress dowager sounds like she doesn't want to take too much care of this matter. She only asked my concubine after entering the palace at Cheng'engong's mansion to ask her natal sister's character and ability. It's not that the concubine wants to boast. Although the concubine is a concubine. , but they are treated like concubines. Although it is hard to say that they are so sincere as their own, but after the concubine entered the palace, the family planned to let the concubine become a nobleman. The reputation of the family, especially the reputation of the concubine's mother, is particularly important. After all, those who should be educated are those who don’t dare to be short of them.” It has always been the case that if there are concubine girls of the same age in the same family at the same time, then if the concubine girl’s reputation is bad, it will definitely affect the reputation and marriage of the concubine girl, although Yuan Chun and Tanchun’s There is a big age difference, but after all, Yuan Chun only entered the palace instead of getting married, in fact, he needs a good reputation more than anyone else.

Yuan Chun thought, although she was talking nonsense, but this was probably the only reason why Tan Chun's personality was so unlike a concubine's.

At least it sounded very reasonable to Tu Mingxun's ears.

After all, although the concubines and concubines in the palace are different from those outside, and the Supreme Emperor has no empress for many years, it is never uncommon for a high-ranking concubine to adopt a low-ranking concubine to give birth to a prince Diji or two concubines to raise each other's children.Except for those who have been in the palace for many years and have not given birth, it is rare for someone to raise a non-biological child as their own. Those who are negligent, the more they have their own children, the less they dare to neglect their non-biological children, for fear of ruining their own and their children's reputation.

So in Tu Mingjun's mind, Yuan Chun's statement was completely valid.

Yuan Chun has been serving people in the palace for so many years, so her ability to perceive words and expressions is naturally not weak. Although Tu Mingxuan's ability to remain calm is improving day by day, at least she can roughly understand it just by looking at Tu Mingxuan's face. Guess what the other party is thinking about, and since he knows that the other party's answer is satisfactory, Yuan Chun has nothing to fear.

I can say more.

"The concubine has served the empress for several years. In fact, the empress may not have too much thought about the Cheng'en family, but at least she will not hope that the family will be bad. When this matter was first brought up, it was considered public. However, my concubine's father is only the master of the second room, so he is not considered as the head of the family. In addition, he is a concubine with a concubine, which is actually very unsuitable. Your Majesty probably doesn't know that the concubine's concubine's concubine's concubine had just married a few years ago. He is the adopted son of Prince Gong's mansion, but the younger sister who is married is cowardly and soft-tempered, and won't move even if a needle is pricked." Parenting skills have always been the benchmark for the younger sisters. Yingchun and Tanchun are both concubine daughters. It always makes people suspect that Tanchun's personality may be similar to Yingchun.

"That's why the Empress Dowager asked about the other girls in my concubine's family. After all, besides this concubine sister, there were two other girls in my concubine's family, both of whom were descendants of the concubine. A cousin of Jia's family was too young after all. The other is the only daughter of the aunt of the previous generation. Because of the death of both parents, she was raised by her grandmother, who is also the grandmother of the concubine. This uncle is counted as a second rank, and he died in office with a posthumous title. The concubine uncle did not leave his son and there is no one in the fifth suit. This marriage is actually quite embarrassing. The empress dowager probably didn't think much about it. Let her family get involved in this muddy water." Yuan Chun expressed a little helplessness, "I am not afraid of people saying unconscionable things, if it is possible, even my concubine does not want my mother's family to be involved in this matter, if this cousin is happy in the future At best, it's nothing but useless, but if her life is a little bit unsatisfactory, it's inevitable that people will poke her back. This concubine's younger sister has a lot of talent, but she has always been a temperament that doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, and she is weak Some, really, no family may be willing to marry such a headed wife for their children and grandchildren."

"Compared in this way, only the third sister, who is the concubine's concubine, is from a poor family background, but she is not bad in character anyway. The empress dowager means that no matter how she marries a stronger wife, at least she won't be let down. It means that the original son of the first wife in Cheng Engong’s house will be controlled by his wife for the rest of his life.” After adding a little bit of worry about Lin Daiyu’s marriage to this conversation, Yuan Chun moved the topic back to Tanchun’s marriage, “At least if this concubine My younger sister can remember her ancestry, so she is also the younger sister of the noble concubine in the palace, which makes this marriage sound much more glamorous, and it always sounds like a good match."

Right now, the Rongguo Mansion has not yet separated, and the male marriage will not be mentioned for the time being. At least no one can question the name of the daughter of the Duke's Mansion when the girl marries, especially when Mrs. Rongguo is still alive. in the case of.

Although Yuan Chun didn't mention much about the affairs in Cheng'en Gong's mansion, firstly, Tu Mingxun was quite clear about his family's situation, and secondly, Yuanchun analyzed his own family's story too thoroughly, even if Tu Mingxun Knowing nothing about his parents' family, he must know that there must be something unusual in this marriage.

But these have nothing to do with Yuanchun, and even more people in Rongguo Mansion can only be regarded as eager to climb up to Cheng'en Gong Mansion.

After all, Yuan Chun had said long ago that the Rongguo Mansion was eagerly looking forward to relying on the girl's marriage to win over their family.

"Although I also know that this marriage may not be perfect, but to put it bluntly, as a concubine's younger sister, this marriage is already considered good." Chun had the opportunity to use her good relationship to pull out her aunt and younger brother, "The remaining four sisters are still young, and secondly, she is actually a girl from Ningguo Mansion. She has her own brothers, sisters-in-law and nephews. What people say, so the concubine should only care about her younger brother and cousin."

Lin Daiyu's marriage is a hot potato if it is hard to say, but if it is agreed, it also has the capital to cultivate a noble relative for the family.As for Jia Baoyu's marriage, this is really Yuan Chun's selfish desire.

"As for these two marriages, the concubine actually wanted to ask the sage. The cousin of the concubine is not very tall and lacks a dowry, but in fact she has no natal family. In fact, it is good to be married to an idle son from the clan family. The husband and wife study together Writing poems and painting, husband and wife get along very well." Even if it is not for the sake of getting married, as long as Daiyu can be thrown out, it is always good. "As for the younger brother, it is my selfishness. He also has the temperament of a rich and idle person. He was actually taught by a concubine until he was three years old. At that time, both literacy and memorization were extremely fast, and he was very talented when he saw his relatives. In terms of official career, after the death of his grandmother, he will always end up with a family, and he only wants to be a talented scholar, so this concubine is thinking about choosing a marriage for him that can protect him for the rest of his life."

Yuan Chun has always acted sensible in front of Tu Mingjun, never begging for anything for her natal family, so this is actually the first time Yuan Chun proudly made a request to Tu Mingjun, and it was not the slightest bit. oblique.

Tu Minghao's brows immediately frowned.

The author has something to say:

All of Yuan Chun's impressions of Daiyu actually came from Mrs. Wang's report. In Mrs. Wang's eyes, Lin Daiyu is naturally flawed everywhere, so it's no wonder that Yuan Chun's evaluation of Daiyu is actually more negative.

You know, in that era, women actually paid attention to virtue without talent, and the most important thing for a woman to marry in ancient times was whether she could have children and whether she could manage the house and manage the house. In the words of Mrs. Wang and Yuan Chun, it is certain that Daiyu was in these two marriages. All scores are negative.

Therefore, the main reason why Yuanchun asked for a marriage for Daiyu was actually that she didn't want Daiyu to be assigned to Baoyu, because as an older sister, even though she knew that Baoyu had all kinds of bad things, she still felt that Baoyu was suitable for a better marriage.
