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

"That's my son. The flesh that fell from my body is engraved in my bones. Not everyone can provoke and take advantage of it." The princess is very confident about this. She is not a lunatic who wants to control. Her son, but she doesn't ask her son to put her first in everything.The world was founded, and there are still battles to be fought everywhere. The Wang family is the general, and her son is naturally going to fight on the battlefield. It doesn't matter who he was closer to when he was young.

"Princess, when you get married, you will obey your husband, and when you grow old, you will obey your son. The eldest son is the eldest son, and you will take care of yourself in the future..." Madam Xu didn't say the word "end of life", but she already meant that.

"That's an ordinary woman. This princess is of royal blood. My husband is called a county horse!" The princess raised her eyebrows, and she could stand up on her own. She never had to rely on her husband and son. I have a bright face for my ability; if Brother Sheng is incompetent, I am equally honorable!"

This dynasty was established for the first time, but the pride in the hearts of the royal family has not diminished. At that time, there were so many great families competing for the world, and only her family won the world. It can be seen that this is the will of God, born with dignity!

"It's the servant girl who has a shallow vision and missed the matter of the princess." Madam Xu saluted. She had been in the court for decades, and all she had seen was the way concubines competed for favor. She had seen a lot of secrets in the back house, but her vision It is indeed too narrow.Nanny Xu is always proud of the princesses and girls with royal blood, but she subconsciously doesn't regard them as princes and princesses as a class of nobles.Mother Xu reflected on herself, she must not make such a mistake again in the future.

"Okay, let's not talk about Brother Sheng for now, let's talk about Wu'er." The princess loves this daughter very much. This is her only daughter. At the beginning, the dystocia and premature birth hurt her body. She may not be able to conceive again in the future. Now Her three children are all she has.The princess often receives her daughter's handicrafts and letters at the border, and the warmth in her heart is even greater.

"The girl is smart and sensible, just like you were back then, capable and kind-hearted." Madam Xu talked about the girl she had been taking care of, and she never stopped talking good things.

"Nurse taught me well, I know that, I only saw Wu'er once, and I can see that Wu'er seems to be a bit serious." The princess is a bright-minded person, who can assist her husband to make achievements outside, but she also has a heart about the affairs of the house. Counting is even more discerning when looking at people.

"The princess's eyes are like torches. The young master is raised in the outer courtyard. In the east courtyard, there are old slaves and other servants. Since the girl's high fever has not subsided... After that, she seemed to have something on her mind. At first, the servant thought that the girl was frightened, but later But I found out that it was not. The girl studied everything seriously, and the old lady did not cry when she was wronged like ordinary little girls. At the beginning of the year, the old man’s birthday, the girl won the old man’s love with a small kang screen, and was able to study with the young men at home... This One by one, the girl is so sensible that the old slave feels bad." Xu Mama was full of emotion when she recalled, why would it be like this if her parents were by her side?

"It's hard for her. Now that I'm back, Wu'er naturally doesn't have to suffer such grievances." The princess sighed faintly, and asked Mammy Xu about other relationships between her natal palace and Beijing, before letting Madam Xu go back to rest .

Knowing that her children are not doing well in the mansion, the princess was angry in her heart, but she didn't show it on the surface. When Wang Shouzhong came back from the study, the princess never mentioned this matter, and only chatted with her husband, saying: " Returning to Beijing this time, Xing Jian has returned with great reputation, His Majesty also favored him, I don't know if Xing Jian's position will be secured."

Wang Shouzhong, with the word Xingjian, said "drinking the truth to be strong, accumulating elements to keep the middle, citing the other's Xingjian, which is called being a hero." Become a heroic general.Later, the subordinate became a son-in-law, and the princess used this word with profound meaning to call Wang Shouzhong when she married.

"Foreign officials usually have to be demoted by half a level when they enter Beijing. If there are vacancies in the court, only the third-rank military positions can only be guards, knights, and first-class guards of the palace. Your Majesty has given you half a month's rest. I'll wait." Wait." Wang Shouzhong was still thinking that he and the royal family were related, so maybe he wouldn't be demoted?

The princess also knew well that the first-class bodyguard of the palace was absolutely not good enough. The status of a husband was not suitable to be a bodyguard for this generation of princes, let alone his own father, so he had to find out what was missing. "Here is the merit of Xingjian. Jian Rui's battalion wing commander was vacant last month, and His Majesty should consider it."

What the princess said meant that his natal family could help him with this relationship. Wang Shouzhong naturally understood that the relationship between in-laws is very strong these days. The Jianrui Camp used to be the elite brought out by King Yong, and now there are many of his old subordinates. , it is also due to help the son-in-law by the way.

"Let's not talk about this, you can finally rest after working for several years, so don't worry too much." Wan Shouzhong patted the princess on the shoulder, signaling her to sleep.

"Don't worry about what to do. Brother Sheng is already fifteen years old. Aren't we coming back this time just to show him? This is a big deal, and we can't delay it." The princess turned the topic to her son.

"Yes, yes, compared with my son, I have to take a step back!" Wang Shouzhong joked.

"Naturally, after you receive the wind banquet, I will take Wu'er to various flower viewing parties and music concerts, so as to choose a good wife for Brother Sheng!" The princess raised her head, as if She picked the best girls in the world, which amused Wang Shouzhong.

"Okay, okay, up to you, up to you." Wang Shouzhong said with a smile.

"By the way, ask your parents, who would they choose for the marriage of Brother Sheng? The elders eat more rice than us, especially the old man. Now my cousins ​​are getting older. There are many battles in the frontier, on this, it is better to listen to your father's opinion more." The princess reminded that when they are in their position, the most fearful thing is to stand in the same team, and what is even worse is to stand in the wrong team.

"Don't worry." Wang Shouzhong said solemnly, the most important indicator of a daughter-in-law candidate is indeed the political stance of the wife's family.

The serious topic ended here, the couple had been busy all day, and fell asleep as soon as they touched the pillow.

When she got up early the next morning, Miss Wu felt the difference obviously. Even the servants were more energetic, and their chests were higher than usual.

The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is to greet my parents.When Miss Wu arrived at the main hall of the east courtyard, Wang Ziteng was already sitting in the small living room.

"Fourth brother." Fifth girl saluted immediately.

"Fifth Sister is here, sit down." Wang Ziteng is only a ten-year-old now, seeing Bai Nen's lovely younger sister, he was quite at a loss for a while.

The fifth girl sat down next to Wang Ziteng, served tea without drinking, and just watched Wang Ziteng quietly. Wang Ziteng also took the time to observe his own sister, and the two just watched each other quietly.Wang Ziteng grew up in the border gate, and it was the first time he saw the elders when he returned to Beijing. The fifth girl was sent back to the capital when she was still a baby. Wang Ziteng didn't have much impression. Now the two strange brothers and sisters sat opposite each other, and they didn't know what to say. good.

Suddenly, the fifth girl burst into a "puchi" laugh, and Wang Ziteng also grinned.

"Second brother, I'm your younger sister." Fifth girl put down her tea cup and said with a smile.

"I'm your second brother, Wang Ziteng." Wang Ziteng also laughed.

The unfamiliarity they had never met melted away in this smile, and the fifth girl sat down in an irregular manner, leaning on the armrest with her body crooked, trying to get closer to chat with Wang Ziteng.

When Wang Shouzhong and the princess came out, they saw this happy scene. The couple had just sat down when Wang Zisheng walked in from the door. The three siblings greeted their parents together.

"Why did you come so late?" Wang Shouzhong asked, frowning. His memory of Wang Zisheng was still in the old house when he was a child. After he went to the border for five years, he naturally had high demands on the eldest son.

"Father, son... son..." Wang Zisheng was at a loss for words for a while, he was just not used to it, yesterday was late again, and he got up late in the morning.

"Daddy~" The fifth girl bravely tried the coquettish skill for the first time, "The eldest brother lives in the outer courtyard, which is far away from here. You can see that the eldest brother is covered in sweat. He must have rushed here in a hurry to greet his parents. Can you You can’t blame Big Brother.”

"Even so, why don't you say it." Wang Shouzhong frowned. He was not a harsh elder, but he was inevitably a little angry when he saw his son describe it like this.

"My son is wrong, father calm down." Wang Zisheng usually coaxed the old lady sweetly, but now in front of Wang Shouzhong, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, so scared that he could only tremble.

"Okay, okay, I've been so serious this morning, it's time to greet the old man and the old lady." The princess smiled and interrupted the conversation between the two fathers and sons, got up and signaled to go to the main courtyard to say hello.

Miss Wu jumped off the chair, ran to Wang Shouzhong's side and tugged at his sleeves, saying, "Daddy, don't be so straight-faced, my brothers and daughters love you so much that you are too frightened to speak."

"What an unreserved girl~" The princess bent down and led the fifth girl to her side, but Wang Shouzhong's face was much softer.

Today, no one in the entire Wang family went out in the morning. Everyone waited in the main hall, and after another salute, the second aunt came out and said: "The Princess is back, and I feel a lot more relaxed. The burden of the housekeeper still has to be handed over You can do it. In the past few years you have been at the border, I have been trembling like walking on thin ice, and at least I have lived up to the princess's entrustment."

"Second brother and sister are polite, it is mother who taught me well." The princess nodded slightly and smiled at the old lady.

"Yes, yes." Second Aunt and Third Aunt agreed.

"You guys are all capable, so I can say something." Mrs. Wang said with a smile.

"Princess, please don't refuse. Now that you are back, you will have more social interactions, so please be more considerate." The second aunt acted modestly, as if she was the head of the family.

"Okay, I don't have time today, please ask the second younger sibling to hand over to me tomorrow." The princess didn't play tricks with her, and immediately agreed.

The second aunt was stunned for a while, thinking why the princess should refuse, this eating is too ugly, so how will mother-in-law, younger siblings and husband think of her?The second aunt looked around, and found that the princess looked like a matter of course, and the topic of the people around had skipped this topic, and they were talking about Wang Shouzhong's banquet.Is the housekeeping power that is extremely important in her heart so insignificant and taken for granted in the hearts of others?
