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

Chapter 64

After finally persuading Mrs. Wang, Yuan Chun immediately sent Mo Xiang to Tu Mingxuan to report what Mrs. Wang said when she entered the palace this time.

It's nothing else, it would be bad if Tu Mingjun thought that he intentionally sent his natal younger sisters into the palace.

"The concubine is not a virtuous person. Now the sisters in the harem have nothing to do with the concubine itself. It's fine. If you can bear it, you can bear it. If you send your natal sister into the palace, you will feel very uncomfortable, so naturally you have to refuse. It's gone." Yuan Chun didn't hide his "jealous" temperament at all, and blatantly complained, "Even if the younger sister of the concubine is really beautiful and beautiful, the sage takes a fancy to it, and the concubine is not allowed."

It's rare for her to show her teeth and claws.

The left and right are just strangers who have never seen each other before. Naturally, Tu Mingjun would not lose his temper with Yuan Chun because of these shadowless things, so he agreed without hesitation.

Yuan Chun also borrowed the donkey from the slope, and picked himself out following these jokes.

Then he hurriedly said that he was justifiably jealous once through the golden words of the Holy Majesty, and he also backed up the matter by passing it on to the queen in a blink of an eye.

----split line----

Because the Supreme Emperor is still around, no matter whether it is Tu Mingjun's longevity or the queen's Qianqiu, he dare not flaunt it.

Wanshou is all right, no matter how frugal he is, he still has to go to the palace, and it is a bit lively, but because the Supreme Emperor is there, it is not convenient to disturb the inner palace.But the Queen's Qianqiu is simply busy in the harem.

When Yuan Chun entered the palace, she was just a female official, and even if she brought a lot of bank notes, she couldn't justify bringing a dowry, so she didn't have anything to sell.

So she simply asked for En'en with Tu Mingxun in a brazen manner, and went to the House of Internal Affairs to get a good-quality Songzi Guanyin, and then added a few needles and threads made by herself as a congratulatory gift.

When it comes to crying poor, no one in this palace is as confident as Yuan Chun.

So she simply saved the bank notes around her, only thinking that she was really poor.

Because Du Mingjun will also be present at the Queen's Qianqiu Dinner, so even though the people in the palace may not have a lot of money, they still gave a decent gift.

Like Yuan Chun, there are also people who present Guanyin statues, but Yuan Chun is the first to present gifts, which makes people feel like picking up people's wisdom.

It can be counted that most people in the palace will inquire about what other people want to give before giving gifts, but firstly, many of these people have not yet developed this awareness, and secondly, Yuanchun Palace has not been expelled from Tu Ming. It's because people other than 晅 An □ □ come to the staff.

In addition, maybe no one wanted to take this opportunity to slap Yuan Chun in the face.

Although in comparison, the quality of Yuan Chun's Avalokitesvara statue is not as refined and dignified as Yang Guiren's, Yuan Chun still smiles and doesn't take this matter to heart at all.

On the contrary, Tu Mingjun's complexion became ugly without any trace.

After all, Yuan Chun's Avalokitesvara statue was not obtained by herself, but she begged it from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

——Yang Guiren is just a noble person, although she can bring some things into the palace, but only those who are above the concubine status are really allowed to bring a few dowry. With her noble status, she can only bring two burden rolls It's nothing more than her own things, and she was born as a concubine daughter of a petty official family, so why should she have such rich things.

They are better than those in the treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Although this can be regarded as a slap in the face, in fact Yuan Chun didn't feel much about it. After all, this kind of thing was tacit among the officials outside.

The best things in this world are actually not available to the royal family, and those that can be paid by foreign officials to the royal family can only be regarded as first-class things, and many of them are not top-quality.And Yuan Chun didn't choose the best things in the Ministry of Internal Affairs this time, so it's not embarrassing.

And today is also a good day, if there is a quarrel, it will obviously embarrass the empress, it is indeed not beautiful.

So Yuan Chun just smiled and didn't speak.

Yang Guiren just gave Yuan Chun a slightly provocative look, and he didn't intend to face the queen directly.

After all, the Holy Majesty is also there, if there is any unhappiness today, although it may be able to suppress Yuan Chun's face, but it will also cause the empress' unhappiness for no reason, it is really not worth the candle.

So the banquet passed safely.

But after the banquet, Concubine An quietly came to find Yuan Chun.

There may have been various unhappiness between them before, but after all, after careful calculation, it is not a major enmity - the point is that Yuan Chun did not have children, and would not have too much direct competition with Concubine An and the eldest son of the emperor.

So Yuan Chun is not stingy about talking to An Bin, as long as the other party doesn't cheat him.

"I didn't have a dowry when I entered the palace. Everyone knows this, and there is nothing to hide. It is common to have simple things. It is no better than Yang Guiren. At any rate, I can bring in some things, and there are probably some high-quality goods among them. . " Yuan Chun was not willing to converse, so he simply said a few superficial comforting words, and didn't want to say anything more.

She was too lazy to confront Yang Guiren directly, but if An Bin wanted to stand out, she would never refuse.

----split line----

A Thousand Autumn Festival that does not alarm foreign officials is not enough to change anything. If you insist on talking about it, you can only say that Yang Guiren has completely fallen out of favor.

In the harem, you are not afraid of not being prominent, but you are afraid that when you are prominent, your superiors will remember you in an annoying way.

But this is nothing more than a noble person, maybe De concubine, the main empress, will feel a long sigh of relief, but it is not enough to alarm Yuan Chun, the concubine.

For Yuanchun, this was nothing compared to the news that his family's provincial hospital had already been built and construction had officially started.

According to the assumption in the drawings, the Bieyuan will spend a total of over 20 taels of silver. In addition to the 5 taels from Gongzhong, the rest of Ningfu and Liangfang each paid 3 taels. The 7 to [-] taels are money spent by the Xue family.

Although it is not clear whether there is any additional subsidy from the Xue family, Baoqin got the news from her family that the Rongguo mansion only paid a little over 10 taels in total.

For Yuan Chun, this is enough.

Although the life of Rongguo Mansion is that there is more income than income, but after all, the family foundation is quite solid now.This time, the public expenses were nothing more than cash, and they didn't sell any farms and shops. After calculating the expenses of the public affairs, the interest from the shop and Zhuangzi in the future would make them more comfortable.As for the money paid by other people, she didn't care.

It is impossible for the Xue family to really take money from Mrs. Wang, and it is only left-handed and right-handed. It is estimated that the 3 taels of the second room probably came from the account of the Xue family. She is a rich man, but she is not worried at all.

"My concubine's father was born in the army, and the spoils and rewards were rich, and his mother came from a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, so the dowry was not very rich - the uncle was raised by his mother, and he is also the first son and grandson of the family. , the two ancestors gave all their private houses to the uncle. The Holy Majesty also knew that although the parents' private houses should be given to their children, the concubine's grandfather is also capable and does not lack these things, so he agreed to this matter Not to mention the other side of Ningguo Mansion, their family has always been a single family, only one more girl in this generation, and because of the rule that bereaved mothers and daughters are not easy to get married, they have been raised in concubines since childhood. If there are too many of these two ends, it’s hard to say, but if it’s only 5 to [-] taels of silver, it won’t hurt your bones.” Yuan Chun got the news, and in a blink of an eye, he carefully calculated the accounts in his family Listen to Tu Mingxuan again, "It's my concubine's father who is not well-off now, but fortunately, my aunt's family is also from the imperial merchants of Jinling, and the wealth is tight, and the cousin in the family is not bad, so my aunt wants to find a good marriage. As long as the concubine's mother takes her cousin to some flower-viewing banquets or something, my aunt will not hesitate to pay tens of thousands of taels more."

Jia Yan, Jia Yuan, and Jia Daishan are really talented after all. No matter how rich they are, they should take it for granted. There is nothing shameful about it. Yuan Chun naturally doesn't need to hide it.And the Xue family is a merchant family after all, it can be said that they are poor and only have money left.

"Baoqin's family is still in the mansion, but they have taken care of some things. I found out that it cost about a hundred thousand taels of silver to go home, and Xue's family also made up for it. According to the calculation of the drawing, it will cost about It was sold for around 20 taels, but because the Xue family is considered a local snake in the Jinling area, and they also made a fortune in Beijing by taking advantage of this incident, the concubine’s family is mostly at cost price, but it is said that it is very affordable and exquisite. The people who buy in the palace have always been shrewd people who deceive their superiors and inferiors. Although the above said that they only calculate according to the cost price, it is still unavoidable that someone made money from them. The price at which people sell it is also peddled in the capital, and they have made a lot of money.

"The current head of the Xue family is a concubine cousin named Xue Pan, but he is a dude who can't take on big responsibilities. Fortunately, the head of the second room in his family didn't come early, but the elder brother in the family has stood up. He There is only a widowed mother and a younger sister in the family, and this younger sister is married to a Hanlin family in Beijing, and the concubine just gave his younger sister a wishful ornament, so naturally he will do his best when he gets the grace." That's how it works. It can't be that Yuanchun did something wrong, but just to be on the safe side, she is still willing to talk to Tu Mingjun, "As for the first cousin of Xue's big concubine, although her brother is a bit bad, she herself is not Poor, when the time comes, just ask my mother to choose a young man from a poor family to be a Jinshi, and the concubine will add some makeup to her at that time, which will be considered as the mother's sisterhood."

Be it Xue Baochai or Xue Baoqin, after all, they are girls from merchant families and cannot be married high, so they don't really need to bother.Although Yuanchun is just a room for concubines and concubines, and can't do things like giving marriages, but in the end it's still a royal character. If it's just a matchmaker for one's own sisters, no one can say anything.

Tu Mingjun nodded in agreement after hearing this, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Yuan Chun's behavior.

The author has something to say:

I found that the provincial hospital was built too quickly, and it would take another year to change it.

I went out to play in the past two days, so I didn't have time to update it, I will make it up in these two days
