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

Chapter 21

In the dream, Yuanchun puts on a virtuous and virtuous face, and is dedicated to doing his best, but he doesn't get any sincerity from Tu Mingxuan until his death, and just spends his days in the false name of a Fengzao Palace and a virtuous concubine.

Now Yuan Chun only pretends to be a straight-hearted little hottie, he doesn't wrong himself at all, he only focuses on living his own life, even if he fights for favors and benefits, he also speaks out clearly, no matter whether he succeeds or not, he never wrongs himself in the slightest.

But Tu Mingxuan prefers this set - in other words, it is better to give Yuanchun more face in the harem than to beat around the bush in his dream, if he wants to get benefits in the previous dynasty.

Such as title.

The day before, Yuan Chun had just complained that after Concubine An gave birth to the prince and was promoted to the title, he would be half a head shorter than the other party because he did not have a title. On this day, Tu Mingxun asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send several alternative titles.

Tu Mingxuan didn't put much thought into the harem. Previously, the titles of Concubine Yi and Concubine An were all chosen by themselves, because the two people's education level was not very high, so they both chose simple words.

Concubine An chose the word An for peace and happiness, while Concubine Yi picked up a character from her boudoir name for her title.

And Yuan Chun looked at the title words sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and found that they were nothing more than virtuous, virtuous, respectful, gentle, and gentle, and smooth, and there was nothing new about them.

Yuan Chun flipped through these things casually, not in any mood, but holding the piano with a slight sense of dissatisfaction.

It's just that Baoqin was taught well by Yuan Chun after all, even if he was a little dissatisfied, he always didn't say anything.

"That's the word. I can't re-evaluate the titles of concubines." Most of the first words are commonly used words in the House of Internal Affairs, but there are a few good words in the back, so Yuan Chun chose a "Xian" here. "Character.

The words set by the Ministry of Internal Affairs are not bad, but firstly, Yuanchun himself hates the titles of virtuous and virtue, and secondly, the concubines of the Supreme Emperor have already used a lot of words, and the rest is only this word. Won Yuan Chun's heart.

Xian, connected with "leisure", soft and gentle is called Xian, solemn and elegant is called Xian, which is a good meaning in comparison.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs did not move slowly.

In late October, Tu Mingjun gave Yuan Chun a title.However, in the first ten days of November, the golden book and gold seal of Yuanchun, including the concubine's court dress, had all been made.

Probably because Yuan Chun's ability to act coquettishly and foolishly on weekdays is really strong. Although Tu Mingxuan chose an auspicious day at the end of November according to Qin Tianjian's wishes, he made Yuan Chun the concubine on Jia Zheng's birthday in mid-November. Go down to Jia's house.

The story that almost coincided with the dream made Yuan Chun feel a little more confused and worried.

Although she tried her best in the palace to redeem the tragic end in her dream, her various methods could not compare to the thousands of ways her natal family tried to kill her.

On Jia Jing's birthday before, if Jia Jing's relationship hadn't been far away, Yuan Chun really didn't know the former patriarch of his family at all, so he escaped in a daze.If his father wanted to follow his cousin's example and die once, Yuan Chun would probably have to hang himself on the southeast branch to prove his innocence.

Fortunately, the Rong Mansion is different from the Ning Mansion. The elders in the Ning Mansion disappeared early. Although Jia Jing and Jia She and Jia Zheng belong to the same generation, they are the biggest elders there. Not too much.Although Jia Zheng was called "Master" in the Rong Mansion, his mother was at the top and his elder brother was still alive at the bottom, so it was not his turn to celebrate his birthday.

Therefore, on Jia Zheng's birthday, only his own family members from Ningrong and Rong's Second Mansions gathered together in a lively and lively manner, and no one else was alarmed.

It has been more than two months since Yuan Chun became the favored one, because Yuan Chun felt ruthless in his heart, and he no longer allowed Baoqin to see her natal family every month, and also made great efforts to pinch the secret lines of her family going to and from the palace. No one is allowed to send news to her mother's house.

In the dream, the decline of Ning Rong's Second Mansion was firstly due to the two families' own crimes, secondly because of Tu Mingjun's intention to clean up the family, and thirdly because of the reckless behavior of the family because of the birth of a high-ranking concubine. The next disaster.

Now that Yuan Chun had cut off the news contact between the Jia family and the palace, it made her mother's family panic for a while, fearing that they might cause some trouble, they hurriedly restrained their actions.

Although Yuan Chun was extremely anxious, he only felt that although he was blessed to be able to foretell, it was useless after all, and he still let things develop like a dream.

The Jia family was having a good reunion on Jia Zheng's birthday, when a young eunuch next to Tu Mingxun sent an order for Jia Zheng to go to the Linjing Hall to receive the order.

Originally, the Ningrong Second Mansion had their own people in the palace, although it would not be possible to get news at the slightest disturbance, but in the end it would not be impossible to be completely unsure of the general direction.

But no one knew that it was his girl who had betrayed her, and she was cruel enough to pinch all her family's dark threads, which led to her family's blind eyes on the affairs of the palace——Yuan Chun got the news of all the family's dark threads from a dream , and with the help of the contacts he had managed in the palace for more than ten years, he used mental calculations and unintentionally disposed of all the people from his natal family.

Yuan Chun used some people in the palace before, half of them were from the old grandmother's connections, and half were from the uncle Wang's family - but it was delayed for many years at that time. Most of the manpower has not yet been received by Yuan Chun.

Jia's family didn't know that their daughter had become more and more cold-hearted, they only thought that the palace people might have noticed something.

Although not all of the Twelve Hairpins in the Red Chamber are the daughters of the Jia family, it is undeniable that almost all the people in the Twelve Beauties have grown up in the Jia Mansion for many years and have been deeply influenced by Jia's education.

The twelve beauties are beautiful, and none of them are inferior to men. It can be seen that Jia's education actually has its own advantages.

It's a pity that the men of Jia's family were brought up in a crooked way. They didn't want to make progress on their own, but only focused on taking the inner house way, thinking of taking shortcuts by climbing around women's skirts.

But in the end, not all Jia's family had idiots. Although they often did stupid things and committed suicide many times, they always had half-sightedness in the end.

The Supreme Emperor is a benevolent monarch, especially merciful to honorable and veteran officials.Although the new emperor is very young, he has the vigor of a young man, and he doesn't seem to like the old ministers of the overlord very much.

In this case, not to mention the honorable families, but the Jia family was not very harmonious, instead there were two voices.

The Ning Mansion thought that the Supreme Emperor was still there, and he could still suppress the new emperor with filial piety. Even if the Supreme Emperor had thoughts, he might not be able to abolish the emperor and appoint someone else.

On the Rongfu side, they were all looking forward to Yuanchun being able to stand out and earn a fortune, but they wanted to wait and see the changes for a while.

Among them, Mrs. Wang contributed a lot.

Although it is said that the elder Jia She is the head of the Rong Mansion, in fact the power in the mansion is not in the hands of the eldest wife, but in the hands of the second grandmother of the first house and the second wife of the second house - and these two people are undoubtedly of the same mind.

After all, Madam Wang was a loving mother, and she was unwilling to give up her daughter until the last moment, while Wang Xifeng followed her aunt's wishes wholeheartedly.

Ning Rong's second residence had struggled with this matter many times, but they were still unable to reach an agreement.

Until this day, Jia Zheng's birthday.

In fact, until Jia Zheng went out, he was always trembling, fearing that something would happen to his family and the imperial emissary would be punished.

The Jia family breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the decree and only said that Jia Zheng's daughter, Xianshu, was gentle, respectful, thrifty and docile, and specially named Concubine Xian.

Although Yuan Chun wished that they would always be more cautious and careful, so as to avoid doing troublesome things.

Ever since the imperial concubine's decree came down, Yuan Chun let go of Baoqin and did not prevent her from meeting people in Rongfu.

It's just that before meeting, Yuan Chun and Bao Qin carefully talked about the current situation in the palace - during the draft, there are bound to be many newcomers with good family backgrounds. A point or two of confidence.

My home looks glamorous, but there are no useful people in the big clan, and there are actually no useful people in the in-laws except for Yuanchun's uncle Wang Ziteng. Every step is difficult.

This is actually not terrible, but the terrible thing is that no one in my mother's family noticed this.

Yuan Chun in the dream didn't notice this either, but now Yuan Chun has already felt it.

"The Holy Majesty always likes sensible people. Uncle asks grandma to take care of him for a while. Even if there is trouble, let him make trouble at home. Wife and Lian's daughter-in-law are always restrained. Why don't you spend money?" It is not as important as the future of your own family. Let your mother and wife tell you that Bao Yulan is still young, and if the elders get a bad reputation, there will be no future at all. Don’t think everyone else is a fool. After all, the surname is Jia. Anyone who has a bad reputation can't do it. Lian'er has already grown up, and although there will be a title to inherit in the future, but the elder is still there, he has to earn some money for himself first." Yuan Chun Sulai acted frankly in front of Tu Mingxuan It's this kind of private matter that should be told privately to her natal family, and Yuan Chun doesn't hide it from anyone.

Although it was to tell Yuan Chun about the matter, he did not hide it from Mo Xiang, and had an open and frank attitude.

Even in front of Tu Mingxuan, she didn't hide her behavior of passing the message to her mother's house by holding the piano.

"My concubine's family is very young and old. Because there are no capable men, it is inevitable that the female relatives will be bolder. Baoqin can see her family every month, so I will let Baoqin go back and exaggerate. It ruined the future of the juniors." Yuan Chun had a calm and casual face, but he didn't hesitate to speak ill of his mother's family in front of Tu Mingjun.

In fact, because she knew all kinds of unreliable behaviors of her natal family early on, Yuan Chun wished to show in front of Tu Mingjun that she had no intention of colluding with her natal family—although she is still willing to do her best to pull her natal family out Out of the quagmire, but it does not mean that she is still willing to be buried with her natal family in vain.

Tu Mingxuan's dislike for the aristocratic families has a long history, and it is not something that Yuan Chun can influence alone, and Yuan Chun does not shy away from mentioning the shortcomings of his natal family in front of him.

Yuan Chun acted frankly and naturally, as if he had no selfishness at all, which made Tu Ming's eyes darken, and he suddenly remembered Yuan Chun's background.

—a parentage he didn't like.

Tu Minghao's expression was a little gloomy, and it was rare that he didn't stay here for too long in Yuanchun, but found an excuse to leave Fengzao Palace early.
