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

Chapter 55

Baoqin went to see off Mrs. Wang, but Yuan Chun talked to Tu Mingxun in Fengzao Palace about how he felt about seeing his mother this time.

"After listening to the lawsuits all over my head, I just feel that it still feels like a world away. My mother mentioned my concubine's natal siblings, but when I left home, the oldest one here was only four years old. Now I'm talking about it. It's really strange. And now there are two relatives living in the family, which I have never seen before. The aunt's house is nothing more than the mother who came to borrow from the house because of the closeness of the sisters. After all, it is a family I don’t need to worry too much about coming here. My aunt’s cousin is the only one, which makes my mother feel a headache.” Speaking of Lin Daiyu’s marriage, Yuan Chun also felt a little headache, “She is an orphan now. , but the family background is not low, so it's a bit too high to be low."

Speaking of it, Lin Daiyu's marriage was a headache for her compared to her own family's marriage.

In the dream, Yingchun married Sun Shaozu and was tortured to death. Tanchun sealed the princess and married her overseas. The fate of these two sisters is not good, but the people in the house are just fine, and no one outside can say anything. In the final analysis, it was just because these two were originally daughters in Jia's mansion, and they married off at the order of their parents.

But if Daiyu meets such a marriage, I'm afraid everyone will flood the Rongguo Mansion with spittle.

"Are you talking about the daughter of Lin Hai, the censor of salt?" Yuan Chun said many times before that he had a cousin of the Lin family in his family. Afterwards, I did a search, but found out Lin Daiyu's background, and now I answered it casually.

"Isn't it? The Lin family has no descendants. After all, the concubine's natal family is the only relative she is close to. Naturally, it is her responsibility. It's just that the concubine's natal family is getting lonely day by day, and she is from a martial arts background, but she can't find a suitable family to give this to her." The cousin said we should be close. Grandmother thought about telling her cousin to my concubine younger brother, but the mother didn't want to." Yuan Chun explained carefully.

But Tu Minghao didn't understand: "There is a custom of kissing and being a kiss outside, if this marriage can come true, it won't be too bad."

Hearing this, Yuan Chun's smiling face couldn't help but froze for a moment, fearing that Tu Mingjun would decide on this marriage with such eloquence, and continued to explain in a hurry: "There is also particularity about adding relatives to the folks. Daughter, if her daughter marries back to her mother's family, it will be considered a repatriation of flesh and blood, which is not good for offspring."

In the royal family, there are so many blood-returning relatives, so naturally they can't be excused by the so-called unlucky, so Yuan Chun simply sacrificed his heirs as a big killer.

"Besides, the Lin family is not prosperous, and this cousin Lin has been weak since she was a child. She said she knew how to drink medicine before she learned to eat. The folks are no more than the royal family. The so-called more children are just born by prostituted maids Yes, it’s really not decent, how can my mother be willing to let my younger brother lose his heir in the future.” Most of the royal family members have the configuration of concubines, and there are many official women among them. The method is not too demanding on the offspring. "And the elder brother of the concubine died early, leaving only a posthumous son, and the other cousin now only has a girl and there is no news about it. There is no way to talk about adoption. Even if the mother I feel sorry for my niece, after all, I can't compare to my own son."

"Besides, it may be difficult for my concubine's natal brother to become an official because of taboos. Instead, he has developed a high-minded personality and is determined to be a celebrity. If he finds a wife who does not eat the fireworks of the world, he may not be able to live in the future." It is Daiyu who is good in every way, just because her parents are dead now, she will not be able to give Baoyu any blessings in the future, Yuanchun will not agree, "Even the concubine is not willing to do it for Su. The cousin who has never met has treated her own brother harshly."

Yuan Chun's words sound selfish and not magnanimous, but they are also human nature.

Tu Mingjun didn't care about these details either.

Because Yuan Chun dragged her to talk about the stories of her mother's family for a long time the night before, Tu Mingzhen was a little tired now, and couldn't help falling asleep while listening to Yuan Chun rambling about the big and small things in the Rongguo Mansion. past.

Most of what Yuan Chun said were small things, after all, she always had to keep a lot of unsightly things going on in her natal family, so that only small things were left to talk about. .

While talking, Yuan Chun found that Tu Mingjun had already fallen asleep on the couch.

She sighed slightly and frowned slightly.

Then he didn't bother Tu Mingxuan, but quietly got down from the couch, took the quilt from Baoqin and put it on Tumingxuan lightly, and went to the sewing basket to pick up a pair of unfinished needlework Live to pass the time.

Needlework has always been a test of concentration, and there is no room for sloppy.You must know that not only did Mingxuan fail to sleep well the night before, but Yuanchun, who was the instigator, also stayed awake all night.

It's just that she was too excited before, so she didn't feel sleepy, but now that she is suddenly idle, the sleepiness naturally surges up.

When Tu Ming fell asleep until noon, he saw Yuan Chun sitting on the other side of the slump, holding a needle and thread, his head nodding.Most of the work in his hand was done with precision, while a small part was messy, and it looked like he had done it carelessly.

On the contrary, Tu Mingxuan couldn't help but want to laugh.

He had seen Yuan Chun do needlework, and although he was not as good as a top embroiderer, he was considered pretty good.Now that a small part is messy, it seems that she probably fell asleep while doing it, and she was trying not to go to sleep, and it was caused by getting a needle from time to time.

Because today is the day when Jiaofang's family members enter the palace, although Yuanchun wanted to create a more homely style, he couldn't live up to the rules, so he had to wear more solemn-looking clothes.

At this moment, Yuan Chun was wearing a large peach pink dress, which made her skin look fairer than usual.There was a tinge of blue under the eyes, but it was carefully covered with fine powder. If it wasn't for getting close, it wouldn't be visible at all, but it seemed a little more fragile out of thin air.

Tu Mingxun looked at the things in Yuan Chun's hand with a smile, looked at her for a while, and then finally went out and ordered Mo Xiang to find someone to serve Yuan Chun so that she could sleep for a while.

----split line----

In the next few days, Tu Mingxun seemed extraordinarily busy, not only came and went in a hurry, but also loved running to the Supreme Emperor to show off his presence.

But even so, he still maintains the good habit of coming to Yuanchun to report every day. Even though he can't bring a booklet into the harem, he is often not stingy to talk to Yuanchun about the affairs of the previous dynasty.

Yuan Chun waited and didn't open his mouth, and he didn't want to take the position of interfering in the affairs of the previous court for nothing, but he would also give advice on how to talk to the Supreme Emperor.

For example, when an old official of the Supreme Emperor committed a crime, Tu Mingzhen just took the evidence of his name to ask, if the final disposition did not meet his wishes, he would send it with a letter of "Blessing the Emperor's Mercy" yes.

Or when a certain old minister is really guilty and he cannot bear it, he can first pick up a person who has almost nothing to do with the Supreme Emperor as an example, and then name the old man who the Supreme Emperor will definitely protect. Even if the Supreme Emperor wanted to cover up, he couldn't do it.

At most, the sentence can be changed from a decisive decision to a "planned dismissal without employment for life."

"It would be good to have one thing like killing chickens to warn monkeys. The Supreme Emperor has softened his heart towards the old man as he got older. For the sake of serving the Supreme Emperor for so long, it doesn't matter if he is decent. To be a saint is just to think Purge the officialdom, and drive people out forever?" Seeing Tu Ming entering Fengzao Palace angrily, Yuan Chun called Baoqin to get something, and brewed a pot of mint tea for Tu Ming himself. To drop the heat.

"You know again?" Seeing Yuan Chun's calm appearance, Tu Mingjun slightly squinted at her, the anger in his heart was still not completely cleared.

"I don't know, it's just that you still remember the things you asked me just now after the court was over. I don't know much about these things, but I always have a good hand in observing words and expressions, and Eunuch Dai ordered someone to sell it to my concubine in advance. After talking about something, the Holy Majesty must be thinking that the Emperor will be merciful." Yuan Chun also frankly talked about Dai Quan's sending someone to Fengzao Palace in advance.

Dai Quan has been by Tu Mingxuan's side since he was a child. Although he is lacking in skills, he is loyal and has a deep friendship with Tu Mingxuan. There is no need to worry about being offended by Tu Mingxuan for such a trivial matter. .

"The anger hurts the body, so the sage must learn to be calm and calm." Leaving aside anything else, just talking about the filial piety of father and son, it is impossible for Tu Mingjun to surpass the Supreme Emperor in this life. If he does not learn the ability to be tolerant, I'm afraid that sooner or later I will be angry, "Although I don't know who it is, but the left and right have been removed, and I can't appear in front of you in the future, and the Holy One just thinks that this person is dead, so there is no need to be so angry. "

During the ten years in the palace, what Yuan Chun learned the most was how to act cautiously, and also learned how to relax his mind.

Otherwise, just relying on the fact that the granddaughter of the dignified Rongguo Mansion was delayed for ten years as a servant in the palace, it would be enough for Yuan Chun to die of shame and anger dozens of times.

Yuan Chun was the only girl in Jia's mansion back then, and she was also a daughter of the first wife. Naturally, the education and training she received was not comparable to that of Ying Tan Xi Sanchun. She also had a lot of handkerchiefs since she was a child, and she was the first and second class lady in the capital at that time.

But later Yuanchun entered the palace and became a female official, many of them had to be ordered to enter the palace by the handkerchief handkerchiefs, whether they were elected in the general election or were not selected to marry. beckoning.

that taste...

As long as Yuan Chun has a little heart, he will die of anger.

"Left and right are not allowed to be hired for life, and this person has already been abolished. As for his other brothers and nephews, if the Holy Majesty doesn't want to use them, he can just be cold. Just look at it coldly." In Yuan Chun's view, this is actually not a big deal, and it's not worth being so angry.
