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

Chapter 81

Regarding the order of visiting relatives, Yuan Chun's idea is actually very simple——

She first picked the first day among all the auspicious days, and then made a list of all the days that can be selected, and handed them to the mothers of each family in order of position, and they were checked by themselves, and then they were on a first-come, first-served basis. All the people have been arranged in the correct order, so there is nothing more worry-free.

"The honorable family has always cared about skin, and is loved by the sage. The position of the concubine in the harem can be regarded as under one person, and the family claims to be the mansion of the Duke, so it is impossible for the family to want the status of the concubine to be weaker than others. The concubine was born for more than [-] years, and she lived in the palace for more than ten years, leaving aside the first few years of ignorance, the relationship with her family is really not close." One day after the day, Yuan Chun leaned close to Tu Mingjun, and explained to Tu Mingjun the reason why he thought so seriously, "Grandfather spent his life as a soldier and made outstanding achievements. It can be seen from the status, only since the grandfather passed away, the concubine's natal family has gone downhill, otherwise the concubine could not be sent to the palace at the beginning, and only wanted to rely on the girls in the family to fight for wealth."

Jia Daishan was the Duke of Chaopin before he was alive, and his daughter could be considered as a queen. In this case, he is willing to ask for grace for his daughter-in-law to avoid the draft, just to ask for a life that can make his daughter's life easier. Heart comfort.And although Yuan Chun is a girl from the Duke's Mansion, she is only the daughter of a fifth-rank member, Wailang. Even if the draft left a brand and gave her a marriage, she would have to be a concubine. If it weren't for the family life, it would be different , with her upbringing and background, she might not be able to find a marriage similar to Jia Min's. This is a really comfortable life.

"After the concubine received grace and became a concubine, the family became impetuous. I thought that the chickens and dogs had already ascended to heaven, and the old grandmother in the family was now old, and it was the most prosperous time in the family, so she had to save face. The concubine is in the palace, although she also has the heart to control the family, but after all, the family has a large population, and the concubine is a bit beyond her reach, and she can't be perfect. , if someone is ahead of the concubine, the family must try their best not to let their family fall behind others, it must be extravagant. If you count carefully, although the concubine's family is still the mansion of the Duke, it is really in decline. The brothers of the concubine's generation are useless except for the elder brother who is no longer concubine. It must wait for the next generation to grow up. Since there is no way to increase income, we must save money. In private, my concubine told my family that the Holy Master said that extravagance is not allowed, and it was hard to scare me. Moreover, this time I was the first one in the palace. There is nothing to compare with. Be more frugal, and this is my concubine’s selfishness for her mother’s family.” Although Yuan Chun said the so-called selfishness, it can be regarded as selfless if you really count it, and it’s a high-sounding excuse, but it’s something that Tu Minghao can’t say what.

If someone else said these words, Tu Mingxuan might think that this person was acting on purpose, but Yuan Chun really acted like he was indifferent to fame and fortune from the beginning to the end, and he never did it for anyone in his family. Ask for any grace to make it seem true.

But these are all digressions. Although Dai Yuanchun had another good impression in front of Tu Mingxuan, it did not affect the specific matters of visiting relatives.

Although Yuanchun intends to be frugal, visiting relatives of concubines is still a major event and cannot be taken lightly. Not only did the palace send people to Rongguo Mansion many days in advance to confirm the procedures for visiting relatives, but also sent many guards and servants to open the way to serve on the official day. He said that he didn't dare to let the people outside see the concubine's face and bumped into the nobleman.

Although the day of visiting relatives is booked here, the concubine can't go out of the palace for a whole day, at least during the day, so at least she can't go out of the palace until she has had dinner—but at least it is better than in the dream. You can only leave at the beginning of the Lantern Festival, and it is at least three hours earlier. Calculated by driving back to the palace at three o'clock in Chouzheng, you can stay at home for nearly six hours.

Although according to the rules, Tu Jinghuai has no blood relationship with the Jia family, but after all, he is raised under Yuan Chun's knees, and he is not very old now. If Yuan Chun has the heart, he can actually bring Tu Jinghuai with him. Let people meet at Jia's house.However, in view of Yuan Chun's distrust of her natal family's character, Yuan Chun actually did not intend to take Tu Jinghuai out at all.

So early in the morning, after Yuan Chun confessed his crime to the queen, he ran to the queen mother's palace again, and solemnly entrusted Tu Jinghuai to the queen mother temporarily.

Although Tu Jinghuai has to go to school during the day, he still has to go back to the palace to rest at night—although there is the West Fifth House for princes, but Tu Mingxuan has no princes who can live there, so it is not good to just send Tu Jing Huai sent it alone.There were no other concubines staying in Zuofengzao Palace, but Yuanchun asked Shi to set up a small courtyard nearby for Tu Jinghuai to live in, and it was already late when the provincial relatives came back. The people on the way back to the palace would inevitably be noisy, fearing that it would disturb Tu Jinghuai's rest, they simply entrusted him to the Queen Mother temporarily.

And when these things were done, Yuan Chun began to fall into an anxious mood.

Although Yuan Chun has always shown that he does not have a high degree of recognition for his natal family, and has repeatedly stated that he has been away from home for many years and does not miss home very much, but when he really waits to see his family soon, Yuan Chun The longing in my heart spread again.

After working in the palace for more than ten years, and then it can be regarded as being dragged down by her natal family and ended up in a terrible end. To be honest, Yuan Chun is really not without resentment—even when Mrs. Wang entered the palace. Yuan Chun's resentment still could not be dispelled.

But when he was able to see his family again, Yuan Chun inevitably felt a little timid.

----split line----

After finally waiting for the hour, Yuan Chun only took a few mouthfuls of food and couldn't wait to ask someone to pack up and drive out of the palace.

Now that the matter of visiting relatives has been promised, it is naturally impossible for Tu Mingjun to cause any obstacles when the matter comes to an end, so naturally he made the will very readily.

There are four big court ladies around Yuan Chun, the four of them are Baoqin, Moxiang, Leer, Xiuyan, and Baoqin must be carried. This time Yuanchun only took Baoqin Le'er and four second-class court ladies with him, and kept Xiuyan in the palace to guard Fengzao Palace.

The first Duke of Rongning was originally two brothers who were direct relatives. The original Rongning State Mansion was rebuilt from a whole prince's mansion. It is really not too far from the palace. But for a quarter of an hour.

Although Yuan Chun didn't like to put on the ceremonial guard of a noble concubine in the palace, but this time he couldn't go out of the palace lightly, so this was basically the first time that Yuan Chun's embroidered phoenix version was used since it was created.

Although she returned to her natal family, Yuan Chun was a concubine after all, and she was no longer a monarch and minister from her natal family. She still sat on the board and did not go down to the ground. She only took a tour of the garden on the board.

A small courtyard with a cost of only one hundred thousand yuan is completely different from the family-saving villa costing two to three million yuan in the original dream. It is impossible to have the prosperity and luxury in the dream.

Several houses can roughly see the original appearance of the building, only some birds, insects, wood and stones were moved in the open space between the original two mansions to make a wild appearance.The two most exquisite places happened to be the small garden in the East Courtyard of Rong Mansion and the small garden in Ning Mansion. Basically, they were only repaired a little bit.

Now Yuanchun doesn't have the leisurely mood in the dream, and he still has the heart to carefully examine the inscriptions on the school plaques.

"Baoyu is still young now, so this is already considered excellent." Baoyu has everything else wrong, but at least he is a bit talented. Stupid, but Xue Lin may not remember Xue Lin's talents in poetry and poetry, but they are not bad in calculation, "Only Baoyu pays too much attention to poetry. Although this poetry and poetry relies on reading more and writing, the most important thing is It’s more experience, it’s too heavy to just quote the classics.” Yuan Chun is also familiar with poetry, books and articles, and she is a woman who doesn’t pay much attention to the four books and five classics in the imperial examination. Most of these inscriptions on Baoyu are quotations from poetry dictionaries rather than original works.

After swimming around the garden, Yuan Chun took the public vehicle to the main courtyard of Jiamu and landed.

Although they are relatives of flesh and blood, there is a difference between men and women inside and outside. At the moment, only Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing Wang and Wang Xifeng of Li Wan can see Yuan Chun in the main courtyard, and no one else.Although Yuan Chun had no lack of resentment towards her natal family in her heart, but now that she really saw her natal family, she only felt sore in her heart, her eyes were full of tears but she didn't know what to say.

Yuan Chun had met Mrs. Wang in the palace before, and although she knew that her mother had aged a bit after more than ten years, the change was not obvious under the costumes, not even greater than that of Jia's mother. , but it really aroused Yuan Chun's tears.

Although Mrs. Xing was of a higher rank than Mrs. Wang, after all Mrs. Wang was closer to Yuan Chun, so Yuan Chun only supported Jia's mother with one hand and Mrs. Wang with the other, but ignored Mrs. Xing.

"It's so easy to come to my house today to see each other. Instead of talking and laughing, I started crying instead, but it's really shameful. I will come back later, and I don't know when I will be back." Yuan Chun lowered his eyes and comforted his grandmother and mother in a low voice. I couldn't help but choked up.

Although Yuan Chun got close to Mrs. Wang and ignored other people, but in the end it was due to other reasons, and it didn't make others think too much.Seeing that the three of them were almost crying together, Mrs. Xing and others came up to comfort them.

Yuan Chunben was only really close to his grandmother and mother when he showed his true feelings, so he couldn't hide his excitement. After all, he could live in the palace for more than ten years, and his level of concealing his emotions was not bad.Although Mrs. Xing took the title of aunt, Yuan Chun was not close to her when she was in her natal family. She revealed her true feelings in front of her, but it was easy to restrain her emotions.
