[Red Mansions] Guide to "The Empress of the Wise"

"Mother liked it, can't it be okay?" Miss Wu covered her lips and smiled. She felt happy when she thought about it. She is only a child, and she wants to show her brother a wife. Is this a job she can do? ?The princess's wife trusted her, and the fifth girl thought of the word trust in her heart, and her smile grew stronger.

"You're playing sloppy with your mother, tell me!" The princess smiled angrily.

"My daughter likes the elder sister of Zuodu Yushi's family." The fifth girl said this without explaining the reason. The princess is satisfied with every girl, otherwise she would not be the focus of investigation.

"Well, I'll ask your father when I get back." The princess nodded lightly without asking.

After all, it was about Wang Zisheng, and Wang Zisheng was his own elder brother after all. Before her parents returned to Beijing, the fifth girl was very sad that Wang Zisheng didn't care about her, but in the end, she would still worry about him.

"Mother, you don't want to ask everyone's opinion, and then choose the one that most people like?" Miss Wu pretended to be doubtful.

"Why not?" The Princess raised her eyebrows.

"Mother, elder brother's wife, let's take his opinion as the standard." The fifth girl said anxiously, not seeing that the princess was teasing her.

"Your elder brother's wife, but the mother-in-law, sister-in-law and sister-in-law are the ones who get along the most when they get married. If I am satisfied with a wife and a virtuous woman," the princess said intentionally.

"Mother, Qin Se and Ming..." The fifth girl wanted to fight for Wang Zisheng's rights, but when she looked up at the princess's smiling eyebrows, she immediately realized that she had been fooled, and said coquettishly: "Mother is right, as long as you are satisfied~ "The tone is drawn out for a long time, which means that I am not fooled!

"You are so good, Qin Se and Ming both know, your master taught you this!" The princess scolded with a smile.

"The sage has a saying, there is a golden house in the book, there is Yan Ruyu in the book, as long as the daughter reads more books, who else needs to teach her."

"Virtue!" The princess patted the fifth girl's head, but thought in her heart, the golden house and Yan Ruyu, this is not what a boudoir daughter should think about.Looking at the delicate eyebrows and eyes of the fifth girl, I felt even more worried.

The fifth girl didn't know her mother's worries until a long time later. At this time, there was no Song Dynasty, and His Majesty Emperor Zhao Heng didn't make such warning words. The princess always thought that her daughter had such ambitions.The fifth girl later discerned that it was just an unintentional jingle, and the princess's wife said: "It's terrible if it's unintentional, you take it as a natural thing."

Hehe, do you think you can cover up your differences without copying famous poems and works?too naive!

"To be serious with you, which girl do you think your eldest brother will like?" The princess knew that the fifth girl was early-witted, and maybe a child knew what a child thought, so she asked a lot.

"Daughter thinks, elder brother probably likes elder sister Gu." The fifth girl paused, and without the princess's urging, she directly reversed her thoughts: "Elder brother usually says that he likes a gentle, virtuous, and talented wife. She is talented and beautiful, not to mention Gu Shibo, the servant of the household department, is no worse than her father, she can be said to be on the rise, and there must be many dowries. How can I not like a daughter-in-law who gives my elder brother such a face?"

"I guess my mother's favorite should be Sister Liu. Dali Siqing's family education is strict, and Sister Liu is dignified and polite. What's more, Sister Liu has seven or eight brothers from the same mother. She is so suitable for sons and boys, and can help mother manage the general affairs. , a good girl who can't be found even with a lantern."

"As for my daughter, I actually like Sister Sun the most. Sister Sun is bright and cheerful. She is not someone who would embarrass my sister-in-law. She has a simple mind. My daughter doesn't have to be trembling in order to get along with my sister-in-law."

"You are sister-in-law, anyone who comes in can only please you." The princess refused, her own children cannot be tortured by other women.

"Well, my daughter also felt emotional when I heard some rumors. The family I have seen will definitely not raise a daughter who will embarrass her husband's relatives." The fifth girl is not very worried about this. From the daughter to the daughter-in-law, the seniority She has grown up, but her status has not grown. The daughter who was pampered in the boudoir, when she comes to her husband's house, she is a busy person who is a filial father-in-law and a loving uncle. The fifth girl is full of sympathy for the status of a daughter-in-law. As long as the new sister-in-law is a good person, she will definitely not He will embarrass others for unwarranted vanity.

Moreover, the princess's wife will not be so short-sighted. Is the family marriage for the sake of enmity?Which mother-in-law has a fool in her head and will deliberately rub her daughter-in-law and live her life as a "daily life".

"You, just say that you like Miss Sun the most, and your mother-in-law and mother will order it again, and you will do it with your own mother." The princess is a little distressed, so considerate, not experienced, how can she be so sensible.

"Hello, Sister Sun, Sister Liu and Sister Gu are also good. This matter depends on the parents and elder brother. The daughter just says it casually, so don't take it to heart." Fifth Miss comforted.

How could the princess not take it to heart, she already favored Miss Sun three points in her heart.

Regarding Wang Zisheng's marriage, the fifth girl knew so much beforehand, and she couldn't participate in other things beyond her status and age.

After returning to the uncle's mansion, the Princess and Nanny Liu talked about today's events in detail, which also meant to relieve Nanny Liu's worries.

"I heard from my old sister, Madam Xu, that the relationship between the young master and the girl is stiff. From this point of view, we are over-concerned. Princess, look, the two brothers and sisters are in harmony!" Mammy Liu first boasted.

"Yeah, you reminded me that my daughter-in-law still needs to find someone who can restrain Brother Sheng and let him go away from his biological parents and brothers. These days, Brother Sheng will come and leave on time in the morning and evening. He said he had a lot of homework. Hmph, he doesn't take the imperial examinations, and he doesn't take assessments. Where there are so many homework, he would have free time to go to the main courtyard." The princess slammed the comb on the dressing table, and she was taking off her bun to take a rest. Talking about this topic, he was as tough as a princess, and couldn't help being angry and sad for not being close to his son.

"Don't worry about the princess. Boys are always a little bit left-handed. As time goes on, they will always know who is right for him. According to the old slave's little knowledge, it is better to let him marry a wife." Eldest young master, choose it yourself." Mammy Liu suggested.

"How did this happen? What does he know!" The princess was confused when she was concerned, and she also wanted to consult Wang Zisheng in her heart, especially after being persuaded by the fifth girl.

"Princess~~ You just need to tell the young master that he can choose any girl in the capital. As long as he likes it, it's not a problem if the family is lower. He hired me." Liu Mama comforted the princess and said: "Don't worry, the young master is usually in contact with the sons and brothers of the noble mansions, and what kind of ladies he can see, in the end, he didn't marry a wife according to your idea The maidservant heard that the old lady has started to recruit the little girls of the Yuan family to live in Beijing, think about it, one is to respect him, and the other is to impose his own will on him, which one will the young master choose?"

"You are right, I understand what you mean." The princess rubbed her eyebrows and said: "When I was young, I followed my father to fight everywhere, and I didn't learn much softness. When it comes to children, I'm not as clear as you gone."

"The princess is the person who handles important affairs. These inner houses are twists and turns, and this old servant will take care of them for you." Madam Liu said, the princess is also clean in the affairs of the inner house, but it's just chaotic when his son cares about it.

The princess made up her mind and left Wang Zisheng alone when she greeted her the next morning.

"You also know that your father and I are discussing the matter of choosing a wife for you recently, do you have any plans?" the princess asked straight to the point.

"This... this... marriage is a matter of parents' order and matchmaker's words, son... a son just listens to his parents." Wang Zisheng didn't expect to talk about such a hot topic suddenly, his face turned red, and his ears were so red. It burned.

"Hey, my mother and son, tell me what's going on in your heart. I've been helping your father in the border for the past few years, and I've been less in charge of you, and I feel very guilty. It's a big deal to marry a wife, so naturally I want to marry someone who suits you. You don't have to be shy, if you have someone you like, you can just tell your mother, you can't wrong yourself." The county master said passionately.

"Mother... Mother... what are you talking about, no, I don't like someone." Wang Zisheng stammered in shame. The most daring thing he does now is to make nasty jokes with family friends and family friends, and talk about men and women. I still don't understand.

"It's normal for young people to love each other. It's normal for you to say it abruptly today. Let's go back and think about it. If you have an idea, come and tell me." The princess was magnanimous and taught autonomy. The prince wins.

"Thank you, mother." Wang Zisheng did have his own expectations for marriage. Although he didn't have a crush, but this attitude of deciding his own affairs and trusting him like an adult, Wang Zisheng was very happy, and he was very happy with his mother. very grateful.

The princess looked at Wang Zisheng's expression calmly, and said earnestly: "You are only ten years old, and mother went to the northern border. At that time, you were small, and you pulled your mother's sleeve, crying and clamoring to go together. Mother didn't dare to look at you at the beginning, because she was afraid she couldn't help it, so she got into the carriage and looked at you and lifted the curtain, and she regretted it right away when she saw you crying heartbreakingly. Sand, cold wind, suddenly no regrets. You don’t know, there is no spring and summer in the northern border, only cold and hot seasons. When it’s cold, the water drips into ice, and the sky is full of snow. When it’s hot, it’s sweating like rain. Come down and blow the air. The wind there is so cold that it freezes into the bones, and it is so strong that it can blow people away."

"Your brother was born there and lived a hard life since he was a child. You can see that his skin is tanned and his hands are very rough. He can't compare with you in the capital. But I often tell him that he is happier than you. It's just because he's by his parents' side. Brother Sheng, don't blame your mother for being cruel, she only thought of doing it for you back then."

"Mother, mother, what are you doing? It's so good..." Wang Zisheng asked the princess to reveal his true feelings, and he didn't know what expression to put on.

The princess wiped her eyes, and then said: "When it comes to your marriage, mother can't help being sad, you are also a person who is going to start a family. Mother told you this, because she wants you to know the difficulties of being a parent, alas, What to do with these things, you will know your parents' kindness when you raise a child, and you will know when you have a child. The most important thing now is to find you a satisfactory wife."

"Marriage is a major event, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker..." Wang Zisheng wanted to endorse again.

The princess covered his mouth and said: "Mother, as long as you are satisfied! You can choose your own daughter-in-law, as long as you think she is worthy of the honor of the wife of the heir to the Earl's Mansion and the responsibility of the wife of the royal family. , it depends on your will!" Of course, someone who can be the royal family's wife must be born in a good family, otherwise, where would she go to learn the corresponding skills?

"Thank you mother!" Wang Zisheng heard this kind of statement for the first time, and he was moved by his loving mother's sincere voice. He choked up and called his mother, before leaving and returning to his yard.
