Chapter 78 The Red Mansion Xie Queen
Situ Min's southern tour this time is nominally to honor his ancestors. He has already solved the Beirong problem. From now on, the northern grasslands will no longer be a threat to the Central Plains!By the way, Situ Min also directly divided many privileges of the Xining County King by setting up a discussion field, and the special status of Ping'an Prefecture also disappeared. After all, there is another discussion field within a hundred miles of Ping'an Prefecture , it will naturally divide the flow of people from Ping'an Prefecture, and the threat of Beirong is now small, so there is no need to maintain so many troops in Ping'an Prefecture, and Situ Min re-appointed the officials of Ping'an Prefecture, After some operations, the power of Xining County Prince's Mansion has shrunk a lot, which made Situ Min feel much more at ease.
Compared with Pingan Prefecture, the King of Nan'an County is far away from the emperor. For a while, the court really has no way to deal with him. The main reason is that neither the Qianxiang Country nor the Nanli Country is very economical. From time to time, there will be some troubles, and sometimes there will be pirates or something. As for whether the king of Nan'an raises his own self-esteem, it's hard to say!
Although it was Situ Xian's idea, but Situ Xian is not young, so this time he will stay to supervise the country, and by the way, he will also keep half of the court team. Situ Min said that this trip is to save money. Well, I'll just stay with the Zhen family, so I won't have to worry about it again.
Situ Min himself thinks that he is already very frugal, but the Minister of the Ministry of Finance still wants to hit the wall. The big head is not spent on the accompanying people, but on him, the emperor, okay? However, Situ Min's The reason is almost impeccable, and everyone has no choice but to admit it.What's more, Situ Min has been the emperor for so many years, and everyone knows what kind of style he is. Therefore, it will not have any effect at all to argue with Situ Min on this kind of matter, it will only annoy him.
Fortunately, Situ Min still does what he can do in many cases, so he won't really lose all the money in the treasury.
Shu Yun didn't follow, or in other words, Situ Min didn't intend to take the high-status concubine to the south at all, but just brought two beauties who had been favored recently, and when he came back, he brought three back.
That's right, the Zhen family saw that there were not enough beauties around the Holy One, so they dedicated their daughter-in-law to Situ Min very thoughtfully.
When she went south last time, the daughter of the Zhen family was still a little girl, but now she has grown up, and she has been raised to be charming, knowledgeable and interesting, I really feel sorry for her.
Although there is something wrong with this seniority, Situ Min is a loyal face dog, not to mention the nanny, she is really not a serious relative, and she has no seniority at all, and the daughter of the Zhen family, um, should say now It's Zhenmei, she's a concubine herself, and she doesn't have anything to do with her natal family in terms of etiquette.
The problem is that etiquette is etiquette, and human feelings belong to human feelings.It's like Tanchun doesn't recognize Zhao Guoji as his uncle, but Aunt Zhao thinks it's the same!If you really become a concubine, you will lose contact with your mother's family. How did those who give away adopted daughters and biological daughters in the officialdom come from?
Therefore, it would be profitable for the Zhen family to present their extremely well-bred daughter. The Zhen family didn't want to keep an eye on the position of the next emperor, but wanted to take the opportunity to hug Situ Min's thigh tightly.Although Mrs. Li seems to be in good health, but people have misfortunes and blessings, and without Mrs. Li, Mrs. Feng Sheng, at least there is a pillow to speak for herself.
Whether it's Zhen Meiren's own ability or Fengsheng's wife's face, in short, Situ Min loves Zhen Meiren very much.It stands to reason that Zhen Meiren is a beauty, and she is not qualified to live alone. She has to live with other concubines, or be attached to a palace where the first palace is in charge. However, Situ Min brought someone back After entering the palace, he directly arranged people in Tingfeng Pavilion, which is not very far from Daming Palace, and the closest to her is Concubine Shu, not a relatively powerful concubine Xian. The scumbag Situ Min was more attentive this time.
After the arrangements were made, Situ Min rubbed his hands, ran to Shu Yun to clear the matter up, and then said, like a kid meeting his first love, "Qingshan is young and she was raised delicately." Don’t worry, after all, it belongs to Mrs. Fengsheng’s family, so Zitong should take care of it more!”
Shu Yun really wanted to kick Situ Min out, but she has traveled many times, and she can still talk nonsense when she sees people. Therefore, her expression did not change, and she said directly: "Follow the upbringing of Mrs. Sheng's family. , I am naturally trustworthy, and besides, the Holy Majesty does not even think about it, why have I ever treated anyone harshly? The Holy Majesty can rest assured, I will just talk to the old people in the palace when I turn back!"
It's rare for Situ Min to blush. That's right, the empress is always good and kind. The concubines in the palace have never said anything against the empress!Thinking of this, Situ Min coughed dryly, and said, "Well, the crown prince is grown up now, and it's time for him to get married. What does the queen think?"
What can Shu Yun think? She knows a few girls of the right age, so she just smiled and said: "The prince's marriage is not only a family matter, it is also a state matter, so this matter depends on your will." !"
Situ Min was even more embarrassed. Can he say that he has been hesitant about Situ Xian's marriage?Situ Kuan is determined to tie up with those nobles. There is no other way. With the background of the concubine Xian, he wants to find someone who is tall and strong for his son, and is willing to support him as the emperor. Daughter-in-law can only be found among nobles, and ordinary civil servants really don't want to step into this muddy water.
In the world of civil servants, the rules are very simple. You have to be capable. Thousands of troops have to pass the single-plank bridge of the imperial examination first, and then you can become an official. What kind of teacher, house teacher, same year, classmate, fellow countryman, that is their most reliable The background of the network, as for talking about Conglong, the risk is too great, but the benefits are just like that.Without sufficient qualifications, even with the support of the emperor, it is not easy for civil servants to join the cabinet. Even if they do, they are still sitting on the bench!
Therefore, in the end, Situ Kuan married the prostitute daughter of Duke Xiu's family.As for Situ Shi, it hasn't been long since they got engaged. Concubine Shu has no requirements for Situ Shi, so she didn't ask him to marry any noble daughter.Why don't you think about marrying a prince?It sounds good, but in fact, there are many bad things!Situ Shi likes music, temperament, calligraphy and painting, so Concubine Shu planned to choose a concubine for Situ Shi who had a common language with him, and then asked Situ Min.
After some calculations, Situ Min simply chose the eldest granddaughter of Yan Mu's family in Jijiu, Guozijian. This father also passed the Jinshi examination a few years ago, but he has been released all the time, and his daughter stayed in the capital.Although under normal circumstances, a girl's reputation will not be spread casually, but in similar circles, everyone will have a general understanding of the unmarried men and women in the circle. It is something that must be faced.
The previous two sons' marriage backgrounds are not bad, but as the prince, Situ Xian, the family background should not be bad!But the problem is that as a prince, the considerations that need to be done in marriage will only be more brain-intensive.If the family status is low, people will think that Situ Min is dissatisfied with this son. If the family status is high, Situ Min will feel uneasy!
So, Situ Min has been hesitating, and originally wanted to ask Shu Yun for his opinion, but Shu Yun acted as if this matter was considered a state matter and the harem could not interfere in politics. Although Situ Min was very satisfied with this, at the moment he felt a little bit Aggrieved.
Of course Shu Yun is unwilling to let Situ Min decide his son's marriage. Although Situ Min is not a fool, he is by no means a wise and decisive person. Shu Yun is really worried that Situ Min will trick Situ Xian.Husband and wife are one, a good princess is definitely different from an unqualified princess.
The position of crown prince was not easy to take. If the crown princess had no foresight and wisdom, then not only would it not be able to bring any help to Situ Xian, but it would be a hindrance.
Therefore, after pondering for a while, Shu Yun said: "Why don't you choose a few people, Your Majesty, and then I will summon you for a reason, what do you think?"
Situ Min thought for a while and said, "What Zitong said is, I will send the list later!"
The matter of Zhen Meiren, Shu Yun just got sidetracked like this, she really didn't take this Zhen Meiren to heart, at her level, let alone a beauty, even if it is to care about with the fourth concubine, it is relatively cheap matter!
When Zhenmei entered the palace, she naturally wanted to meet Shu Yun, the empress. Originally, with her status, she had to follow her own position when traveling, but Zhenmei lives alone, so there is no need for such troubles!Situ Min made it clear that he had a different view of Zhen Meiren. Therefore, although many concubines in the palace had a rather sour attitude towards Zhen Meiren, they just took advantage of their words and did not dare to really show Zhen Meiren any face. .
Zhen Meiren was raised under the knees of Mrs. Li, who is a holy lady. Just by looking at Zhen Meiren's appearance, you can know that Li Shi really knows Situ Min very well. It is no wonder that the queen mother did not allow Li to stay Now that she is by Situ Min's side, if Li Shi is really allowed to stay in the palace, she is afraid that she, the nanny, will be more important in Situ Min's heart than the queen mother, the real mother!
When the queen mother was alive, Situ Min didn't give much special treatment to the Li family and the Zhen family, but after the queen mother passed away, Situ Min's partiality for the Zhen family showed.It's also fortunate that the queen mother doesn't have a natal family, otherwise, she would really be stunned!
The timing for Zhenmei to enter the palace is actually very good. Those with high status now have their own sons, and they don't care so much about holy favors, and those with low status seem to be indifferent to Zhenmei. , Lack of confidence, the only thing that can be talked about is that Zhen Meiren did not enter the palace through formal channels, which seems a bit cheap.The problem is, Zhenmei herself doesn't care, and Situ Min, the real master, doesn't care either.
In particular, there are many uncertain factors through the formal drafting channels. Even if you have greeted Situ Min from the beginning, there will be some accidents. Therefore, the Zhen family does not want to take this risk at all. Just this time, Situ Min During the southern tour, the Zhen family took advantage of the situation and pushed Miss Zhen out, and as expected, they got Situ Min's favor.
Zhenmei is not a flamboyant person. Although the Zhen family is not a family, it is not a poor man who becomes rich. It is one thing to like to exploit and use any means, but the education in the family is another.Situ Min was named the prince since he was a child, and he was the only one who was superior. If he wanted to put something glamorous and noble in front of him, he would be looking for the wrong person.
In any case, Zhen Meiren has always been very calm in the harem, but within a few months, she has successfully gained a foothold in the harem.Even if other people have some thoughts in their hearts, but in matters in the palace, whoever is favored is justice, so in the end they have to accept their fate!
Shu Yun ignored Zhen Meiren's matter, she had already obtained the list of possible future concubines from Situ Min, and then saw Situ Min's thoughts, Situ Min did not want Situ Xian's power to expand again.
Situ Min chose Situ Xian back then as all good gentlemen. According to the usual practice, these people later held positions in the East Palace, even if many of them were only nominal positions. On issues that do not violate the principle, they will all stand on the side of the East Palace.
Although Situ Min doesn't have much fear of the prince now, but as an emperor's instinct, he also doesn't want to see someone sharing his power. Therefore, most of the lists Situ Min gave to Shu Yun are those with very famous names. Big, but it is the kind that will withdraw from the power center now or in the near future.
For example, Wei Guan, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is already in his sixties, and he is considered a long-lived man in this era. In a few years, if he does not retire from office, he will be said to be in love with power!One of the candidates on the list is Wei Guan's granddaughter. Although it is the eldest son of Wei Guan, Wei Guan's eldest son is not considered outstanding. After several exams, he is considered to be at the bottom of the list. Jinshi, this determines that the upper limit of his official career is almost the third rank. Unless he has some special advantages, otherwise, it is impossible to even think about entering the center.
This is also a problem that those scholars will face, just like a child with a doctorate in a university may be a scumbag. The big heirloom family, with enough experience in imperial examinations and examination skills, cannot guarantee that every generation can be a Jinshi.It seems that in some places, in an entire county, maybe there are only one or two candidates with the highest fame.Because the admission rate of the imperial examinations these years is really touching, and, the style of writing in Jiangnan is very prosperous, and it can always occupy a large part of the places on the apricot list.There will be no more than two or 300 people admitted for each exam. This is still an expansion of enrollment. You must know that in the previous court, the list of candidates for the exam has been controlled within 150 people, and it will be even less in the future!Of course, at that time, the imperial examination was not the mainstream, and it was mainly based on the recommendation of local officials, and the shadow of the family.
Therefore, Wei Guan himself can study and be an official. There are five sons in the family who are descendants of concubine and concubine. There are only two people who can make a way in the imperial examination. One is the eldest son, and the other is the fourth son. After winning the Juren, after a few more years of training, there is a high possibility of being a Jinshi.People like the Wei family are the norm. Those who have a family of brothers who can pass the exam are almost monsters!As for juren in their teens, Jinshi around 20 years old, it's really hard to meet one in many years, and they can be called Wenquxing descended to earth!
The reason why Wei Guan has remained in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials is precisely because of this, there is no successor, he will have to wait for a few more years, waiting for the fourth son to pass the exam, and the two sons can support each other.But even so, before the age of 70, he must retire!
The other candidates are also similar to Wei Guan's situation. Civil servants belong to the kind who have a relatively high status but are not considered promising for future generations. The kind with military power, and even the daughter of the princess and princess's family, who also has a title of title, this is purely a name that sounds better.
Situ Xian also saw this list, he curled his lips and did not comment on it.He has always been precocious, and realized very early on that apart from his noble status, his father actually doesn't have much to admire. Obviously, he did not restrain his hopelessness, and thanks to the good times he was born in, there was nothing for him to take the blame for. If he was really born in an era when the dynasty was turning from prosperity to decline, then he would be the one to take the blame. Back up.
However, Situ Xian was very worried that his father would leave a mess, and if he couldn't clean it up later, he would be blamed for the blame.Now seeing the family background of the concubine that Situ Min chose for him, Situ Xian finally had no choice but to say: "Just pick someone who is obedient and sensible!"
With Situ Xian's status, he doesn't expect any extravagant love, it's good to raise his eyebrows and respect each other as guests.Everyone can walk towards the same goal side by side, and then share the fruits of victory together. As for the others, it depends on how we get along in the future.If the princess is more reliable, Situ Xian is still willing to live a good life with the princess. He really has a headache for the too complicated harem, and he doesn't have the time to play balance in the harem. He has to fight with those ministers in the court , In the end, I went back to my own territory, and I still have to figure out how to sleep with my concubine. Isn't this causing trouble for me!
At present, Situ Xian's requirements for the princess are only obedient and sensible, and he dare not have other extravagant demands. As for Shu Yun, he feels that he should work harder to see if he can pick out a more reliable one.
Therefore, on this day, Situ Min said that he was going to hunt in the Shanglin Garden, and Shu Yun took advantage of the situation to say that the accompanying ministers could bring the female family members with him. A crown princess was selected from among the noble ladies.
The Situ family doesn't have the habit of defrauding their daughters-in-law. The superiors will only choose the main concubine for the prince. As for the side concubines and concubines, let them make their own decisions!Those who are ambitious will reserve this spot for those who need to win over. After all, the side concubine is also going to be on the imperial jade certificate, so if you are not ambitious, it depends on what you like!
Therefore, this time it was the choice of the Crown Princess, not the Crown Prince Liang Di or something, and immediately many people became excited.
For two consecutive generations of emperors in this dynasty, the sons of the princes have been crowned princes, and then successfully succeeded to the throne. Therefore, for many ministers, as long as there are no accidents, it is a matter of course for the prince to ascend the throne. Therefore, the present prince concubine will be the future The mother of a country, whoever has a queen, the title of Lord Cheng En can be favored for three generations, and even some families who originally invested in Situ Kuan feel that they can bet on both sides, whoever wins the position will not suffer a loss!
The Shanglin Garden in this dynasty is very different from that in the Han and Tang Dynasties. Many places in the original Shanglin Garden site have been reclaimed and become farmland. The court cannot drive people away, but let them stay. , and it is easy to cause trouble, if there are some people with evil plans mixed among these people to assassinate, then it is really impossible to guard against.
Therefore, apart from the same name, today's so-called Shanglin Garden is quite different in essence, and the occupied area is far less than that of the Han Dynasty, but it is still enough.
There are not many large-scale palaces in Shanglin Garden, but there are many pavilions, terraces and pavilions for people to rest temporarily. Situ Min took people to hunt in the mountains and forests, while Shu Yun chose a scenic spot It's a good place for the women's relatives to have fun.
It's the golden autumn season, and the sweet-scented osmanthus and begonias in Shanglin Garden are in full bloom. People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs have brought in a large number of chrysanthemums, roses, autumn orchids, and Phalaenopsis. The air is full of fragrant flowers. Take the bamboo scissors and cut off the flower branches, and put them in the flower basket for the concubines and the ladies to use.
Some people wanted to make a good impression on the queen and the prince, so they were very cautious in every move, while some people didn't have much confidence in being selected, so they were much more comfortable.The status of women in this dynasty is also not high. Women from ordinary families may still be able to show their faces for the sake of livelihood, while women from rich families mostly just go out of the door, even if they go to some gatherings of old friends. What's more, they also go directly into other people's inner houses, and occasionally go out to enjoy incense, either to clear the place, or to go to a place specially dedicated to offering incense to female relatives.It is rare to have the opportunity to play in such an open place, and everyone is in a very good mood.
The varieties of these flowers in Shanglin Garden are naturally very complete. If there are any novel varieties that appear in the folks, they will usually be paid as tribute, and the palace has its own flower planters who specialize in cultivating these flowers.In recent years, Shu Yun and Situ Xian have transferred many flower growers to let them concentrate on food crops, but this did not affect the cultivation of various flowers.
Therefore, at this moment, there are many people enjoying the flowers and chatting by the flowers and trees everywhere. Shu Yun is not in a hurry to come forward, but just asks people to observe secretly. Lord, they sit together and talk.Shu Yun didn't intend to let Situ Xian marry the daughters of those princesses and princesses' families. This idea actually has a saying that it is bad luck to return blood.As for Shu Yun, it was even more impossible for him to consider candidates with close blood ties, so it was easier to talk with these people.
After it was almost noon, Shu Yun gave the order to set up a banquet. Of course it was not a formal palace banquet, but it was actually a small banquet of entertainment nature. You could also play games like water cups, passing flowers and beating drums. Whose turn could draw lots? Performing a small show, because girls are involved, it is generally not too embarrassing.Everyone can eat crabs, eat snacks, and drink a little wine. Anyway, spirits are not popular these days. If spirits are really popular, then don’t wait for any wine fights, and you will get alcohol poisoning directly. !For example, the female relatives drink relatively light fruit wine, which is just a little more alcoholic than sherbet, so it is not a problem to drink a little less.
Although this kind of small banquet looks more comfortable, it is the easiest to see some problems. If you eat crabs, you can see the demeanor on the dinner table, and those small games can also tell the girl's family. In terms of quality, if you accidentally make a fool of yourself, you have to look at their on-the-spot resilience.
It is impossible for Shu Yun to inquire about the behavior of these girls at home, so he can only take a look at these small things.
Fortunately, everything went relatively smoothly. Most of the girls from other families want to marry into the right family. Therefore, the general upbringing is considered meticulous. Yun directly rejected it. You must know that in this era, children grow up with their mothers in the first few years after they are born. The father can actually play a very small role in nurturing. If the mother does not study and has little knowledge, it is inevitable. To have an impact on children.
Of course, those who have a delicate and sensitive mind are also respectful and insensitive. Living in the palace, no matter whether you are a wife or a concubine, you can't do without a big heart. If you really care about everything, you will kill yourself sooner or later.
In a sense, Shu Yun is also a eccentric person. Between a son and his daughter-in-law, it is natural to be eccentric to her son. Therefore, what she needs is a daughter-in-law who can comfort and tolerate her son, not a daughter-in-law. A little woman who needs her son to coax and pamper her.Of course, if Situ Xian really had a true love who was willing to treat him like this, Shu Yun would have nothing to say. It was Situ Xian who worked hard anyway, but before Situ Xian proposed, Shu Yun would not consider such a daughter-in-law.This is also determined by Situ Xian's identity. If it was Situ Xuan, Shu Yun would not think so much. After all, Situ Xuan can do what he likes in the future. Even if he wants to go out and expand the territory, what his wife needs The environment she faced was also much simpler than that of Situ Xian's wife, at least she didn't have to deal with so many people and things.
Shu Yun is now subtly influencing Situ Xian, hoping to give women the right to education and independent economic rights, but these were impossible when Situ Min was still there, so Shu Yun could not Prepare a daughter-in-law for your son based on yourself, of course you can't find it!Although it sounds a bit unfair, the world is so unfair in many cases, and all fairness needs blood, sweat and even life to fight for.
Obviously, these noble ladies who were born in the Taiping period did not have any awareness of pursuing equality between men and women. The education they received since childhood was to become a qualified housewife in the future. A good child, seeing their children and grandchildren are full of children and grandchildren, and their family is prosperous, then this life is a perfect life. As for themselves, they will only leave a thin surname on the genealogy of their husband's family, nothing else.
Given that Shu Yun's current husband is a standard straight male cancer, he feels that women should care for their husbands and raise their children. Even the princesses in the palace pamper them and don't ask them to bear any responsibilities. Alive, even as a queen, aunt, Shu Yun is not easy to intervene in the education of these princesses.
She doesn't have a daughter herself, so she can't get involved in the princess's education. Since the children can't count on it in this generation, they can only count on the grandchildren. Reforming things like this is better than going from top to bottom. And it's easier to come up.Shu Yun realized that her patience was not very good. For Situ Min, a husband who had never been restrained so much before, she didn't know how long she could endure.
The noble ladies present at the scene didn't know that the gentle and graceful queen sitting at the top actually had such terrible thoughts in their hearts. Those who become a princess must also consider that the girls in the family have reached the age of marriage, and their future husbands may be the brothers of the girls' families present. If you become ugly, you will get a bad reputation later, which will inevitably affect your future marriage.Therefore, everyone looked calm, but they were still a little nervous.
As for those noble ladies, each of them was quite reserved. Some of them who were acquainted with each other got together, but they also spoke softly. Even if someone said something witty, they all laughed lightly.The steamed crabs are delivered, those who know how to eat eat a crab with eight pieces of crabs, those who are more picky, that is, eat a little crab roe, and others, probably because they are worried about weak spleen and stomach, or feel that the crab is cold , I didn’t dare to eat more, I just picked a little meat off the crab claws and ate it, then cleaned my hands, ate some other delicate dishes and snacks, and took a sip of fruit wine or floral dew.
The game of beating drums and passing flowers, Qushui Liushang is also very simple. Someone prepares a lottery tube, shakes the lottery directly, and just reads the prompts on the lottery to show your talent. Generally, it is actually telling a joke and making a drink order. The more difficult thing is the regulation. A rhyme, a poem or something, if you can't do it for a while, it doesn't matter, just drink a glass of fine!It's not a difficult thing, and no one is so unlucky that they can't answer every time.
At the beginning, everyone was still a little nervous, but then they gradually relaxed. Some people were well-liked, and some people helped secretly. To a certain extent, this small banquet was relatively successful, and there was no drunkenness in the middle. Incidents like that, everything went very smoothly.
After a small banquet, Shu Yun already had a certain understanding of the girls on the list, and had a preliminary plan in mind. The next step is to further investigate the situation of these girls' homes.
It is definitely impossible to leave these to Situ Min. He proposed candidates because he thinks these people are reasonable, but many things can't be seen from the superficial situation. In fact, what is going on at home is like a person who knows how warm and cold the drinking water is.Therefore, Shu Yun directly ordered his dowry palace servants to go out of the palace to find someone to inquire about the situation.
Of course, it is not in the same circle to inquire, but to find a way to inquire from the servants. People who run the family rigorously, the servants are also tight-lipped, but more or less, they can find out something.In particular, it is impossible for these families in Beijing to be self-sufficient. Many things are bought only when they are needed. Naturally, they have to communicate with the outside world. Therefore, as long as you have the heart, you can always find out some trivial things.
After inquiring about the things that could be inquired from each family, the information was collected in Shu Yun's hands. After Shu Yun looked at it, he picked out a few more, and then called Situ Xian, handed him the information, and said: "Let's take a look at these families. After that, you still have to live by yourself. You have to know the situation of your future wife!"
Situ Xian nodded and agreed. To be honest, he was actually very envious of his father, and his mother seemed to have a gentle and indisputable personality. Actually everything is well managed.Especially in his father's harem, he played with balance smoothly, but for the middle palace, this kind of harem is a mess that is difficult to clean up, and thanks to his mother's empress, he has the ability to not let the harem catch fire .If it were a queen with a less powerful wrist, the harem would definitely not be as peaceful as it is now.
Therefore, Situ Xian often attaches great importance to Shu Yun's opinions. Since Shu Yun singled out these families, then of course she has her reasons.
Shu Yun didn't value much in the family world when he chose the crown princess for Situ Xian, but he had to give the crown princess enough confidence, because the sisters-in-law that the crown princess faced were all from bad backgrounds. After that, Situ Xian didn't like She has a temperament that will be a couple for a lifetime, and she will definitely enter the East Palace in the future. If the Crown Princess is not confident enough to go to the concubine's room in the East Palace, it will be troublesome!
Therefore, even if the families that Situ Min gave are all those that are bound to decline, Shu Yun has to pick out a few that have more stamina. It depends on the education of these families for their children and grandchildren.
In addition, the balance between the concubine and the concubine is almost unavoidable in this era. The big wife naturally hates the concubine, but it is all about etiquette. one degree.The resources of any family are not unlimited, even the royal family is the same, the royal family is even more cruel in the battle between the heirs and concubines, because in the royal family, the winner takes all!
It is impossible for Shu Yun to ask her daughter-in-law to treat her concubines equally, but she needs to grasp a certain degree, which depends on the education she has received since she was a child and the subtle influence of her parents. If her parents' generation is relatively fair, she, as a concubine, will not Given how much unfair education she has received, there is a high probability that she will balance this kind of thing. Of course, if Situ Xian is stupid about this kind of thing in the future, there is nothing she can do!Many times women, if they are really forced to show that kind of ruthlessness, no one knows what they can do.
In addition, regarding the education of the male members of the family, not everyone can be like the Xie family. As a descendant, there is no sense of existence at all.As a foreign relative, even if you can't provide assistance, it's best not to hold back.For the emperor, not to mention the Yue family, even his own uncle's family, it is difficult to get along as relatives. Relatives are equal to a certain extent, and the emperor's relatives, these foreign relatives are from the emperor's family. For those who are fighting for their own interests, it's better to be honest, but if the appearance is too ugly, then it will only arouse the disgust of the emperor.
The same is true for being a prince. Yinreng was unlucky back then, largely because the Hesheli family was unclear. On the contrary, the Guerjia family has always been quite responsible. In the end, the Erjia family was able to be buried as a princess. The Guerjia family was still able to be reused during the Yongzheng Dynasty, because they obeyed their duties.If in the future Situ Xian's Yue family is weak-boned and wants to take advantage of the crown prince's position, then no matter how good the crown prince is, she will be a dragging role.
Shu Yun shared his considerations with Situ Xian, commented on the candidates on the list, and said: "It's impossible to be perfect, and the first few here are considered relatively good. You Just weigh it yourself! However, you choose your wife yourself, and you will have to be responsible for your own choice in the future. As long as she can take on her responsibilities, then, as a mother, I don’t want
Compared with Pingan Prefecture, the King of Nan'an County is far away from the emperor. For a while, the court really has no way to deal with him. The main reason is that neither the Qianxiang Country nor the Nanli Country is very economical. From time to time, there will be some troubles, and sometimes there will be pirates or something. As for whether the king of Nan'an raises his own self-esteem, it's hard to say!
Although it was Situ Xian's idea, but Situ Xian is not young, so this time he will stay to supervise the country, and by the way, he will also keep half of the court team. Situ Min said that this trip is to save money. Well, I'll just stay with the Zhen family, so I won't have to worry about it again.
Situ Min himself thinks that he is already very frugal, but the Minister of the Ministry of Finance still wants to hit the wall. The big head is not spent on the accompanying people, but on him, the emperor, okay? However, Situ Min's The reason is almost impeccable, and everyone has no choice but to admit it.What's more, Situ Min has been the emperor for so many years, and everyone knows what kind of style he is. Therefore, it will not have any effect at all to argue with Situ Min on this kind of matter, it will only annoy him.
Fortunately, Situ Min still does what he can do in many cases, so he won't really lose all the money in the treasury.
Shu Yun didn't follow, or in other words, Situ Min didn't intend to take the high-status concubine to the south at all, but just brought two beauties who had been favored recently, and when he came back, he brought three back.
That's right, the Zhen family saw that there were not enough beauties around the Holy One, so they dedicated their daughter-in-law to Situ Min very thoughtfully.
When she went south last time, the daughter of the Zhen family was still a little girl, but now she has grown up, and she has been raised to be charming, knowledgeable and interesting, I really feel sorry for her.
Although there is something wrong with this seniority, Situ Min is a loyal face dog, not to mention the nanny, she is really not a serious relative, and she has no seniority at all, and the daughter of the Zhen family, um, should say now It's Zhenmei, she's a concubine herself, and she doesn't have anything to do with her natal family in terms of etiquette.
The problem is that etiquette is etiquette, and human feelings belong to human feelings.It's like Tanchun doesn't recognize Zhao Guoji as his uncle, but Aunt Zhao thinks it's the same!If you really become a concubine, you will lose contact with your mother's family. How did those who give away adopted daughters and biological daughters in the officialdom come from?
Therefore, it would be profitable for the Zhen family to present their extremely well-bred daughter. The Zhen family didn't want to keep an eye on the position of the next emperor, but wanted to take the opportunity to hug Situ Min's thigh tightly.Although Mrs. Li seems to be in good health, but people have misfortunes and blessings, and without Mrs. Li, Mrs. Feng Sheng, at least there is a pillow to speak for herself.
Whether it's Zhen Meiren's own ability or Fengsheng's wife's face, in short, Situ Min loves Zhen Meiren very much.It stands to reason that Zhen Meiren is a beauty, and she is not qualified to live alone. She has to live with other concubines, or be attached to a palace where the first palace is in charge. However, Situ Min brought someone back After entering the palace, he directly arranged people in Tingfeng Pavilion, which is not very far from Daming Palace, and the closest to her is Concubine Shu, not a relatively powerful concubine Xian. The scumbag Situ Min was more attentive this time.
After the arrangements were made, Situ Min rubbed his hands, ran to Shu Yun to clear the matter up, and then said, like a kid meeting his first love, "Qingshan is young and she was raised delicately." Don’t worry, after all, it belongs to Mrs. Fengsheng’s family, so Zitong should take care of it more!”
Shu Yun really wanted to kick Situ Min out, but she has traveled many times, and she can still talk nonsense when she sees people. Therefore, her expression did not change, and she said directly: "Follow the upbringing of Mrs. Sheng's family. , I am naturally trustworthy, and besides, the Holy Majesty does not even think about it, why have I ever treated anyone harshly? The Holy Majesty can rest assured, I will just talk to the old people in the palace when I turn back!"
It's rare for Situ Min to blush. That's right, the empress is always good and kind. The concubines in the palace have never said anything against the empress!Thinking of this, Situ Min coughed dryly, and said, "Well, the crown prince is grown up now, and it's time for him to get married. What does the queen think?"
What can Shu Yun think? She knows a few girls of the right age, so she just smiled and said: "The prince's marriage is not only a family matter, it is also a state matter, so this matter depends on your will." !"
Situ Min was even more embarrassed. Can he say that he has been hesitant about Situ Xian's marriage?Situ Kuan is determined to tie up with those nobles. There is no other way. With the background of the concubine Xian, he wants to find someone who is tall and strong for his son, and is willing to support him as the emperor. Daughter-in-law can only be found among nobles, and ordinary civil servants really don't want to step into this muddy water.
In the world of civil servants, the rules are very simple. You have to be capable. Thousands of troops have to pass the single-plank bridge of the imperial examination first, and then you can become an official. What kind of teacher, house teacher, same year, classmate, fellow countryman, that is their most reliable The background of the network, as for talking about Conglong, the risk is too great, but the benefits are just like that.Without sufficient qualifications, even with the support of the emperor, it is not easy for civil servants to join the cabinet. Even if they do, they are still sitting on the bench!
Therefore, in the end, Situ Kuan married the prostitute daughter of Duke Xiu's family.As for Situ Shi, it hasn't been long since they got engaged. Concubine Shu has no requirements for Situ Shi, so she didn't ask him to marry any noble daughter.Why don't you think about marrying a prince?It sounds good, but in fact, there are many bad things!Situ Shi likes music, temperament, calligraphy and painting, so Concubine Shu planned to choose a concubine for Situ Shi who had a common language with him, and then asked Situ Min.
After some calculations, Situ Min simply chose the eldest granddaughter of Yan Mu's family in Jijiu, Guozijian. This father also passed the Jinshi examination a few years ago, but he has been released all the time, and his daughter stayed in the capital.Although under normal circumstances, a girl's reputation will not be spread casually, but in similar circles, everyone will have a general understanding of the unmarried men and women in the circle. It is something that must be faced.
The previous two sons' marriage backgrounds are not bad, but as the prince, Situ Xian, the family background should not be bad!But the problem is that as a prince, the considerations that need to be done in marriage will only be more brain-intensive.If the family status is low, people will think that Situ Min is dissatisfied with this son. If the family status is high, Situ Min will feel uneasy!
So, Situ Min has been hesitating, and originally wanted to ask Shu Yun for his opinion, but Shu Yun acted as if this matter was considered a state matter and the harem could not interfere in politics. Although Situ Min was very satisfied with this, at the moment he felt a little bit Aggrieved.
Of course Shu Yun is unwilling to let Situ Min decide his son's marriage. Although Situ Min is not a fool, he is by no means a wise and decisive person. Shu Yun is really worried that Situ Min will trick Situ Xian.Husband and wife are one, a good princess is definitely different from an unqualified princess.
The position of crown prince was not easy to take. If the crown princess had no foresight and wisdom, then not only would it not be able to bring any help to Situ Xian, but it would be a hindrance.
Therefore, after pondering for a while, Shu Yun said: "Why don't you choose a few people, Your Majesty, and then I will summon you for a reason, what do you think?"
Situ Min thought for a while and said, "What Zitong said is, I will send the list later!"
The matter of Zhen Meiren, Shu Yun just got sidetracked like this, she really didn't take this Zhen Meiren to heart, at her level, let alone a beauty, even if it is to care about with the fourth concubine, it is relatively cheap matter!
When Zhenmei entered the palace, she naturally wanted to meet Shu Yun, the empress. Originally, with her status, she had to follow her own position when traveling, but Zhenmei lives alone, so there is no need for such troubles!Situ Min made it clear that he had a different view of Zhen Meiren. Therefore, although many concubines in the palace had a rather sour attitude towards Zhen Meiren, they just took advantage of their words and did not dare to really show Zhen Meiren any face. .
Zhen Meiren was raised under the knees of Mrs. Li, who is a holy lady. Just by looking at Zhen Meiren's appearance, you can know that Li Shi really knows Situ Min very well. It is no wonder that the queen mother did not allow Li to stay Now that she is by Situ Min's side, if Li Shi is really allowed to stay in the palace, she is afraid that she, the nanny, will be more important in Situ Min's heart than the queen mother, the real mother!
When the queen mother was alive, Situ Min didn't give much special treatment to the Li family and the Zhen family, but after the queen mother passed away, Situ Min's partiality for the Zhen family showed.It's also fortunate that the queen mother doesn't have a natal family, otherwise, she would really be stunned!
The timing for Zhenmei to enter the palace is actually very good. Those with high status now have their own sons, and they don't care so much about holy favors, and those with low status seem to be indifferent to Zhenmei. , Lack of confidence, the only thing that can be talked about is that Zhen Meiren did not enter the palace through formal channels, which seems a bit cheap.The problem is, Zhenmei herself doesn't care, and Situ Min, the real master, doesn't care either.
In particular, there are many uncertain factors through the formal drafting channels. Even if you have greeted Situ Min from the beginning, there will be some accidents. Therefore, the Zhen family does not want to take this risk at all. Just this time, Situ Min During the southern tour, the Zhen family took advantage of the situation and pushed Miss Zhen out, and as expected, they got Situ Min's favor.
Zhenmei is not a flamboyant person. Although the Zhen family is not a family, it is not a poor man who becomes rich. It is one thing to like to exploit and use any means, but the education in the family is another.Situ Min was named the prince since he was a child, and he was the only one who was superior. If he wanted to put something glamorous and noble in front of him, he would be looking for the wrong person.
In any case, Zhen Meiren has always been very calm in the harem, but within a few months, she has successfully gained a foothold in the harem.Even if other people have some thoughts in their hearts, but in matters in the palace, whoever is favored is justice, so in the end they have to accept their fate!
Shu Yun ignored Zhen Meiren's matter, she had already obtained the list of possible future concubines from Situ Min, and then saw Situ Min's thoughts, Situ Min did not want Situ Xian's power to expand again.
Situ Min chose Situ Xian back then as all good gentlemen. According to the usual practice, these people later held positions in the East Palace, even if many of them were only nominal positions. On issues that do not violate the principle, they will all stand on the side of the East Palace.
Although Situ Min doesn't have much fear of the prince now, but as an emperor's instinct, he also doesn't want to see someone sharing his power. Therefore, most of the lists Situ Min gave to Shu Yun are those with very famous names. Big, but it is the kind that will withdraw from the power center now or in the near future.
For example, Wei Guan, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is already in his sixties, and he is considered a long-lived man in this era. In a few years, if he does not retire from office, he will be said to be in love with power!One of the candidates on the list is Wei Guan's granddaughter. Although it is the eldest son of Wei Guan, Wei Guan's eldest son is not considered outstanding. After several exams, he is considered to be at the bottom of the list. Jinshi, this determines that the upper limit of his official career is almost the third rank. Unless he has some special advantages, otherwise, it is impossible to even think about entering the center.
This is also a problem that those scholars will face, just like a child with a doctorate in a university may be a scumbag. The big heirloom family, with enough experience in imperial examinations and examination skills, cannot guarantee that every generation can be a Jinshi.It seems that in some places, in an entire county, maybe there are only one or two candidates with the highest fame.Because the admission rate of the imperial examinations these years is really touching, and, the style of writing in Jiangnan is very prosperous, and it can always occupy a large part of the places on the apricot list.There will be no more than two or 300 people admitted for each exam. This is still an expansion of enrollment. You must know that in the previous court, the list of candidates for the exam has been controlled within 150 people, and it will be even less in the future!Of course, at that time, the imperial examination was not the mainstream, and it was mainly based on the recommendation of local officials, and the shadow of the family.
Therefore, Wei Guan himself can study and be an official. There are five sons in the family who are descendants of concubine and concubine. There are only two people who can make a way in the imperial examination. One is the eldest son, and the other is the fourth son. After winning the Juren, after a few more years of training, there is a high possibility of being a Jinshi.People like the Wei family are the norm. Those who have a family of brothers who can pass the exam are almost monsters!As for juren in their teens, Jinshi around 20 years old, it's really hard to meet one in many years, and they can be called Wenquxing descended to earth!
The reason why Wei Guan has remained in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials is precisely because of this, there is no successor, he will have to wait for a few more years, waiting for the fourth son to pass the exam, and the two sons can support each other.But even so, before the age of 70, he must retire!
The other candidates are also similar to Wei Guan's situation. Civil servants belong to the kind who have a relatively high status but are not considered promising for future generations. The kind with military power, and even the daughter of the princess and princess's family, who also has a title of title, this is purely a name that sounds better.
Situ Xian also saw this list, he curled his lips and did not comment on it.He has always been precocious, and realized very early on that apart from his noble status, his father actually doesn't have much to admire. Obviously, he did not restrain his hopelessness, and thanks to the good times he was born in, there was nothing for him to take the blame for. If he was really born in an era when the dynasty was turning from prosperity to decline, then he would be the one to take the blame. Back up.
However, Situ Xian was very worried that his father would leave a mess, and if he couldn't clean it up later, he would be blamed for the blame.Now seeing the family background of the concubine that Situ Min chose for him, Situ Xian finally had no choice but to say: "Just pick someone who is obedient and sensible!"
With Situ Xian's status, he doesn't expect any extravagant love, it's good to raise his eyebrows and respect each other as guests.Everyone can walk towards the same goal side by side, and then share the fruits of victory together. As for the others, it depends on how we get along in the future.If the princess is more reliable, Situ Xian is still willing to live a good life with the princess. He really has a headache for the too complicated harem, and he doesn't have the time to play balance in the harem. He has to fight with those ministers in the court , In the end, I went back to my own territory, and I still have to figure out how to sleep with my concubine. Isn't this causing trouble for me!
At present, Situ Xian's requirements for the princess are only obedient and sensible, and he dare not have other extravagant demands. As for Shu Yun, he feels that he should work harder to see if he can pick out a more reliable one.
Therefore, on this day, Situ Min said that he was going to hunt in the Shanglin Garden, and Shu Yun took advantage of the situation to say that the accompanying ministers could bring the female family members with him. A crown princess was selected from among the noble ladies.
The Situ family doesn't have the habit of defrauding their daughters-in-law. The superiors will only choose the main concubine for the prince. As for the side concubines and concubines, let them make their own decisions!Those who are ambitious will reserve this spot for those who need to win over. After all, the side concubine is also going to be on the imperial jade certificate, so if you are not ambitious, it depends on what you like!
Therefore, this time it was the choice of the Crown Princess, not the Crown Prince Liang Di or something, and immediately many people became excited.
For two consecutive generations of emperors in this dynasty, the sons of the princes have been crowned princes, and then successfully succeeded to the throne. Therefore, for many ministers, as long as there are no accidents, it is a matter of course for the prince to ascend the throne. Therefore, the present prince concubine will be the future The mother of a country, whoever has a queen, the title of Lord Cheng En can be favored for three generations, and even some families who originally invested in Situ Kuan feel that they can bet on both sides, whoever wins the position will not suffer a loss!
The Shanglin Garden in this dynasty is very different from that in the Han and Tang Dynasties. Many places in the original Shanglin Garden site have been reclaimed and become farmland. The court cannot drive people away, but let them stay. , and it is easy to cause trouble, if there are some people with evil plans mixed among these people to assassinate, then it is really impossible to guard against.
Therefore, apart from the same name, today's so-called Shanglin Garden is quite different in essence, and the occupied area is far less than that of the Han Dynasty, but it is still enough.
There are not many large-scale palaces in Shanglin Garden, but there are many pavilions, terraces and pavilions for people to rest temporarily. Situ Min took people to hunt in the mountains and forests, while Shu Yun chose a scenic spot It's a good place for the women's relatives to have fun.
It's the golden autumn season, and the sweet-scented osmanthus and begonias in Shanglin Garden are in full bloom. People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs have brought in a large number of chrysanthemums, roses, autumn orchids, and Phalaenopsis. The air is full of fragrant flowers. Take the bamboo scissors and cut off the flower branches, and put them in the flower basket for the concubines and the ladies to use.
Some people wanted to make a good impression on the queen and the prince, so they were very cautious in every move, while some people didn't have much confidence in being selected, so they were much more comfortable.The status of women in this dynasty is also not high. Women from ordinary families may still be able to show their faces for the sake of livelihood, while women from rich families mostly just go out of the door, even if they go to some gatherings of old friends. What's more, they also go directly into other people's inner houses, and occasionally go out to enjoy incense, either to clear the place, or to go to a place specially dedicated to offering incense to female relatives.It is rare to have the opportunity to play in such an open place, and everyone is in a very good mood.
The varieties of these flowers in Shanglin Garden are naturally very complete. If there are any novel varieties that appear in the folks, they will usually be paid as tribute, and the palace has its own flower planters who specialize in cultivating these flowers.In recent years, Shu Yun and Situ Xian have transferred many flower growers to let them concentrate on food crops, but this did not affect the cultivation of various flowers.
Therefore, at this moment, there are many people enjoying the flowers and chatting by the flowers and trees everywhere. Shu Yun is not in a hurry to come forward, but just asks people to observe secretly. Lord, they sit together and talk.Shu Yun didn't intend to let Situ Xian marry the daughters of those princesses and princesses' families. This idea actually has a saying that it is bad luck to return blood.As for Shu Yun, it was even more impossible for him to consider candidates with close blood ties, so it was easier to talk with these people.
After it was almost noon, Shu Yun gave the order to set up a banquet. Of course it was not a formal palace banquet, but it was actually a small banquet of entertainment nature. You could also play games like water cups, passing flowers and beating drums. Whose turn could draw lots? Performing a small show, because girls are involved, it is generally not too embarrassing.Everyone can eat crabs, eat snacks, and drink a little wine. Anyway, spirits are not popular these days. If spirits are really popular, then don’t wait for any wine fights, and you will get alcohol poisoning directly. !For example, the female relatives drink relatively light fruit wine, which is just a little more alcoholic than sherbet, so it is not a problem to drink a little less.
Although this kind of small banquet looks more comfortable, it is the easiest to see some problems. If you eat crabs, you can see the demeanor on the dinner table, and those small games can also tell the girl's family. In terms of quality, if you accidentally make a fool of yourself, you have to look at their on-the-spot resilience.
It is impossible for Shu Yun to inquire about the behavior of these girls at home, so he can only take a look at these small things.
Fortunately, everything went relatively smoothly. Most of the girls from other families want to marry into the right family. Therefore, the general upbringing is considered meticulous. Yun directly rejected it. You must know that in this era, children grow up with their mothers in the first few years after they are born. The father can actually play a very small role in nurturing. If the mother does not study and has little knowledge, it is inevitable. To have an impact on children.
Of course, those who have a delicate and sensitive mind are also respectful and insensitive. Living in the palace, no matter whether you are a wife or a concubine, you can't do without a big heart. If you really care about everything, you will kill yourself sooner or later.
In a sense, Shu Yun is also a eccentric person. Between a son and his daughter-in-law, it is natural to be eccentric to her son. Therefore, what she needs is a daughter-in-law who can comfort and tolerate her son, not a daughter-in-law. A little woman who needs her son to coax and pamper her.Of course, if Situ Xian really had a true love who was willing to treat him like this, Shu Yun would have nothing to say. It was Situ Xian who worked hard anyway, but before Situ Xian proposed, Shu Yun would not consider such a daughter-in-law.This is also determined by Situ Xian's identity. If it was Situ Xuan, Shu Yun would not think so much. After all, Situ Xuan can do what he likes in the future. Even if he wants to go out and expand the territory, what his wife needs The environment she faced was also much simpler than that of Situ Xian's wife, at least she didn't have to deal with so many people and things.
Shu Yun is now subtly influencing Situ Xian, hoping to give women the right to education and independent economic rights, but these were impossible when Situ Min was still there, so Shu Yun could not Prepare a daughter-in-law for your son based on yourself, of course you can't find it!Although it sounds a bit unfair, the world is so unfair in many cases, and all fairness needs blood, sweat and even life to fight for.
Obviously, these noble ladies who were born in the Taiping period did not have any awareness of pursuing equality between men and women. The education they received since childhood was to become a qualified housewife in the future. A good child, seeing their children and grandchildren are full of children and grandchildren, and their family is prosperous, then this life is a perfect life. As for themselves, they will only leave a thin surname on the genealogy of their husband's family, nothing else.
Given that Shu Yun's current husband is a standard straight male cancer, he feels that women should care for their husbands and raise their children. Even the princesses in the palace pamper them and don't ask them to bear any responsibilities. Alive, even as a queen, aunt, Shu Yun is not easy to intervene in the education of these princesses.
She doesn't have a daughter herself, so she can't get involved in the princess's education. Since the children can't count on it in this generation, they can only count on the grandchildren. Reforming things like this is better than going from top to bottom. And it's easier to come up.Shu Yun realized that her patience was not very good. For Situ Min, a husband who had never been restrained so much before, she didn't know how long she could endure.
The noble ladies present at the scene didn't know that the gentle and graceful queen sitting at the top actually had such terrible thoughts in their hearts. Those who become a princess must also consider that the girls in the family have reached the age of marriage, and their future husbands may be the brothers of the girls' families present. If you become ugly, you will get a bad reputation later, which will inevitably affect your future marriage.Therefore, everyone looked calm, but they were still a little nervous.
As for those noble ladies, each of them was quite reserved. Some of them who were acquainted with each other got together, but they also spoke softly. Even if someone said something witty, they all laughed lightly.The steamed crabs are delivered, those who know how to eat eat a crab with eight pieces of crabs, those who are more picky, that is, eat a little crab roe, and others, probably because they are worried about weak spleen and stomach, or feel that the crab is cold , I didn’t dare to eat more, I just picked a little meat off the crab claws and ate it, then cleaned my hands, ate some other delicate dishes and snacks, and took a sip of fruit wine or floral dew.
The game of beating drums and passing flowers, Qushui Liushang is also very simple. Someone prepares a lottery tube, shakes the lottery directly, and just reads the prompts on the lottery to show your talent. Generally, it is actually telling a joke and making a drink order. The more difficult thing is the regulation. A rhyme, a poem or something, if you can't do it for a while, it doesn't matter, just drink a glass of fine!It's not a difficult thing, and no one is so unlucky that they can't answer every time.
At the beginning, everyone was still a little nervous, but then they gradually relaxed. Some people were well-liked, and some people helped secretly. To a certain extent, this small banquet was relatively successful, and there was no drunkenness in the middle. Incidents like that, everything went very smoothly.
After a small banquet, Shu Yun already had a certain understanding of the girls on the list, and had a preliminary plan in mind. The next step is to further investigate the situation of these girls' homes.
It is definitely impossible to leave these to Situ Min. He proposed candidates because he thinks these people are reasonable, but many things can't be seen from the superficial situation. In fact, what is going on at home is like a person who knows how warm and cold the drinking water is.Therefore, Shu Yun directly ordered his dowry palace servants to go out of the palace to find someone to inquire about the situation.
Of course, it is not in the same circle to inquire, but to find a way to inquire from the servants. People who run the family rigorously, the servants are also tight-lipped, but more or less, they can find out something.In particular, it is impossible for these families in Beijing to be self-sufficient. Many things are bought only when they are needed. Naturally, they have to communicate with the outside world. Therefore, as long as you have the heart, you can always find out some trivial things.
After inquiring about the things that could be inquired from each family, the information was collected in Shu Yun's hands. After Shu Yun looked at it, he picked out a few more, and then called Situ Xian, handed him the information, and said: "Let's take a look at these families. After that, you still have to live by yourself. You have to know the situation of your future wife!"
Situ Xian nodded and agreed. To be honest, he was actually very envious of his father, and his mother seemed to have a gentle and indisputable personality. Actually everything is well managed.Especially in his father's harem, he played with balance smoothly, but for the middle palace, this kind of harem is a mess that is difficult to clean up, and thanks to his mother's empress, he has the ability to not let the harem catch fire .If it were a queen with a less powerful wrist, the harem would definitely not be as peaceful as it is now.
Therefore, Situ Xian often attaches great importance to Shu Yun's opinions. Since Shu Yun singled out these families, then of course she has her reasons.
Shu Yun didn't value much in the family world when he chose the crown princess for Situ Xian, but he had to give the crown princess enough confidence, because the sisters-in-law that the crown princess faced were all from bad backgrounds. After that, Situ Xian didn't like She has a temperament that will be a couple for a lifetime, and she will definitely enter the East Palace in the future. If the Crown Princess is not confident enough to go to the concubine's room in the East Palace, it will be troublesome!
Therefore, even if the families that Situ Min gave are all those that are bound to decline, Shu Yun has to pick out a few that have more stamina. It depends on the education of these families for their children and grandchildren.
In addition, the balance between the concubine and the concubine is almost unavoidable in this era. The big wife naturally hates the concubine, but it is all about etiquette. one degree.The resources of any family are not unlimited, even the royal family is the same, the royal family is even more cruel in the battle between the heirs and concubines, because in the royal family, the winner takes all!
It is impossible for Shu Yun to ask her daughter-in-law to treat her concubines equally, but she needs to grasp a certain degree, which depends on the education she has received since she was a child and the subtle influence of her parents. If her parents' generation is relatively fair, she, as a concubine, will not Given how much unfair education she has received, there is a high probability that she will balance this kind of thing. Of course, if Situ Xian is stupid about this kind of thing in the future, there is nothing she can do!Many times women, if they are really forced to show that kind of ruthlessness, no one knows what they can do.
In addition, regarding the education of the male members of the family, not everyone can be like the Xie family. As a descendant, there is no sense of existence at all.As a foreign relative, even if you can't provide assistance, it's best not to hold back.For the emperor, not to mention the Yue family, even his own uncle's family, it is difficult to get along as relatives. Relatives are equal to a certain extent, and the emperor's relatives, these foreign relatives are from the emperor's family. For those who are fighting for their own interests, it's better to be honest, but if the appearance is too ugly, then it will only arouse the disgust of the emperor.
The same is true for being a prince. Yinreng was unlucky back then, largely because the Hesheli family was unclear. On the contrary, the Guerjia family has always been quite responsible. In the end, the Erjia family was able to be buried as a princess. The Guerjia family was still able to be reused during the Yongzheng Dynasty, because they obeyed their duties.If in the future Situ Xian's Yue family is weak-boned and wants to take advantage of the crown prince's position, then no matter how good the crown prince is, she will be a dragging role.
Shu Yun shared his considerations with Situ Xian, commented on the candidates on the list, and said: "It's impossible to be perfect, and the first few here are considered relatively good. You Just weigh it yourself! However, you choose your wife yourself, and you will have to be responsible for your own choice in the future. As long as she can take on her responsibilities, then, as a mother, I don’t want
