The struggle of the Nanny of the Red Chamber

Yuan Chun is also 14 years old this year.Originally, after giving filial piety last year, they should say kiss.But just after leaving the filial piety, first Jia Zhu and others went to rush for the exam, and when they came back, they married Sister Feng, and then there were sudden disturbances in the family because of Jia Lian and Qin Keqing's affairs.It was only recently that he survived.

As a result, Yuan Chun's marriage was a bit late.Fortunately, Mrs. Zhang knew about her affairs.

So when Yuan Chun went to see Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang looked at Yuan Chun with the expression of "my family has a girl who has just grown up".

"In a blink of an eye, you are so old. You were still babbling at the beginning, but now you are slim. Have you eaten all the medicinal food I asked my mother to make for you?"

"Thank you, auntie, for your concern. I've been eating what Mammy made."

People with long brains will know what the next sentence is when they hear this sentence, so Yuan Chun controlled himself not to blush too much, while gently stirring the handkerchief.

"A few years ago, I thought about hiring you back to the Zhang family. But I didn't expect that the world is unpredictable, and good and bad fortune are destined. It's not convenient for you to look after the filial piety period, so I entrusted you to the present for a while. There are no outsiders today. Just us two. Tell your aunt, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chun shook his head quickly.Originally, she was close to Mrs. Zhang, so she would say what she thought.But since the matter of Lian's second sister-in-law, Yuan Chun has been quite afraid of such words.

"I only listen to my aunt." Anyway, from Yuan Chun's point of view, my aunt would not harm her.

"Well, you are a good boy. It's just that the eldest aunt is afraid of wronging you. I'm sorry for your mother under Jiuquan. Our family doesn't ask for anything else. Your dowry is not thin, and no matter which family you marry, you will not be inferior. More What's more, you have your aunt and your brothers to support you. Speaking of this, I still have two pieces of fine Xiaguang brocade here, and the embroidered dowry is the best. When you leave in a while, you take one with you, and the rest The piece from that is for your second sister."

The Xiaguang brocade is woven with gold and silver double threads and red brocade silk according to the warp and weft.Because the texture is better, and the color of gold and silver is also better when illuminated, so it is a bit rare.

In addition, good things are more labor-intensive and time-consuming. This kind of brocade can't produce two or three brocades a year.

Mrs. Zhang has this, and it was a reward that Concubine Zhang had been favored for a few days when she entered and left the palace that year. Concubine Zhang was grateful for the care of the Zhang family and specially rewarded it.

The Zhang family also loves the girl. After all, in Zhang's generation, she is the only one in the Zhang family.So Zhang's mother took all of Zhang's dowry to Rongguo Mansion.

If Zhang's dowry hadn't been embroidered long ago, it is estimated that there would not be so many left.

After a while, the girl brought up the material, and Yuan Chun looked at it.Knowing that this is indeed a good thing, he got up and thanked Mrs. Zhang.

Many of our women's dowries are made of clothing fabrics, so how to maintain them is very important.Naturally, Mrs. Zhang would not skip this step. This is why Yuan Chun felt that the fabric was still as dazzling as when it was new.

Swiping away the servants, Mrs. Zhang took Yuan Chun in her arms and continued, "Our family started out with military exploits, but your brothers will all become civil servants in the future. So Auntie thought, it's better to break away from the network of connections in front of our family and give You find a respectable scholarly disciple, like Aunt Min who you married into the Lin family."

Yuan Chun nodded shyly, still saying that the aunt is in charge.

At that time, Yuan Chun also knew that his marriage was not high enough or low enough.Although she is the eldest girl of Rongguo Mansion, her biological mother died young, and her father is a fifth-rank palace. Her good marriage is just to marry into these few relatives.

If my elder brother married the eldest daughter of the Wang family, she could no longer marry into the Wang family.The Xue family is a businessman, and the eldest aunt will not agree to become a businessman's wife.Then there is the historian.But the historian did not have a boy close to her age.

For her identity, there is no need to think about the Four Wangs.After all, she is not good enough for anyone except the bastard and daughter-in-law.As for the remaining few, not to mention the eldest aunt, even the good ones have been heard of, and they are not optimistic.

Hearing today that his aunt was planning to find a family for him who was a serious scholar, Yuan Chun understood that it seemed that his aunt was going to use the contacts of the Zhang family.

"This year, rumors of a talent show came out in the palace. Once you enter the palace, the gate is as deep as the sea, and you will be cut off before you are old. If you really enter the palace, if you suffer any grievances, neither your family nor your brother can help you." So Auntie thought, before the news is officially released, she will settle your marriage. You will blame Auntie for hindering your Qingyun Road. You must know that with my son's character and appearance, once he enters the palace, he must was elected."

When Yuan Chun heard this, tears fell.She is not an ignorant girl, how can she not know the pain of entering the palace.How many white-haired women died of old age in the deep palace.What's the point of such a life.

Since ancient times, the king's kindness has been thin.It is like a flower, like a time in water.Another few years of favor.If you are lucky, you will have a son and a half daughter.Being old is also a place to look forward to.If not, what is there to look forward to.

Yuan Chun stood up and bowed solemnly to Mrs. Zhang. "My niece doesn't want to enter the palace."

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang sighed in her heart.

She should have known that Yuan Chun would make such a choice.But when Yuan Chun was brought over to be educated, Mrs. Zhang had an idea about her marriage.In the past, I just thought about marrying into a rich family of scholars, so as to add contacts to the family.Later, something happened to the Zhang family, and the Zhang family wanted to get Yuan Chun into the palace.

Her sons have a rebellious natal family, which will have more or less influence on their future development.And the Zhang family must be rehabilitated, otherwise how will she face the relatives of the Zhang family after she dies.

Send Yuanchun into the palace instead of Yingchun.Aside from the fact that she spent Yuanchun at the right age, and that she has more energy than Yingchun, the most important thing is that the harem is sinister.

Although she has confidence in the children she has raised.But there are no absolutes in the world, who knows what unexpected situation will happen.If something really happened, Yuan Chun's identity, as long as it wasn't a big deal, wouldn't implicate the eldest family who was separated by scriptures.But Yingchun has no way to pick the big house out.

Therefore, Yuanchun entered the palace and Yingchun married outside, it was Zhang's decision made early on.

If you drink and peck, you have to pay when you get it.She is like this, and so is Yuan Chun.She has worked hard to teach for more than ten years, and she has long been doomed to the direction of all this.

Although Tanchun is small, you can tell a thing or two from his appearance.How was Yuanchun brought up, and how was Tanchun brought up.It is clear at a glance.

If after Wang's departure, without Zhang's escort, Yuan Chun might not be as tolerant as he is today.Regardless of Tanchun's disregard is to let Yuanchun understand better and understand more deeply what his life would be like without her.

Although Mrs. Zhang knew all of her calculations, she felt sorry for this girl who had always believed in herself wholeheartedly.But she can only do her best to provide her with some help.

She is Zhang's daughter, and she is Jia's wife.

"I understand, my son has the same spirit as me. Why would he want to. What's more, he is already over half a hundred years old. My son is in the prime of his life. If you say something disrespectful, he is worthy of it?"

"Auntie." Mrs. Zhang said very bluntly.When Yuan Chun heard this, he was a little horrified.Hastily called out.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. You just know what to say today. You can try to cut out that piece of material first. The patterns on the sides and feet can also be embroidered slowly. Come out. Since last month, I have asked you to start embroidering purses, how much did you get?"

"...There are more than ten of them."

"Well, some servants can do it, but some of them have to be done by themselves. Do it slowly, and when you really settle down, you won't be in a hurry."

Yuan Chun nodded.Understand the meaning of Zhang's words.

"I went back recently and tidied up all the jewelry. After a while, my aunt sent someone to pick them up and fry them up again. If there is a style that I don't like, tell my aunt and call again."

"Well, hehe. Which jewelry store is Auntie going to look for? It can't be the one that my uncle often goes to. If it's that one, Yuan Chun doesn't want it."

The jewelry that the uncle gave to the old lady is heavy and looks just like it, so it's hard to say.

"You, you're still joking about your uncle. Be careful this year, he won't give you red envelopes." He tapped Yuan Chun's forehead with his finger.He said something to her with a smile.

"Hehe. How dare Yuanchun. Besides, uncle will not give Yuanchun a red envelope." Yuanchun followed Zhang's hand and lay down in Zhang's arms.

"You, you're a big girl now. Sit down quickly. Let's talk about serious business." Holding Yuan Chun upright, Mrs. Zhang said seriously.

"Yes."

"After the new year, the weather will be warmer. When the time comes, first print out the small pieces of furniture. My son told people to go to the time-honored brands in the capital to find the master and sample brochures. When they are delivered, you can choose what you like. Originally, these could have been done in the first two years. But I thought, it would be more auspicious to do it out of filial piety. Although there is a lot of work, it is not a big deal to ask a few more people to come out. When it’s Mid-Autumn Festival, it’s almost ready. It’s painted and left to dry in the shade for a few months in the wing room, and it’s ready.”

"Type it out first, size?"

"Hehe, that's nothing. There's no need to wait until it's settled before measuring the house. A lot of furniture can be printed out first. For a family like ours, the specifications of the house are almost the same." Anyway, it definitely won't be needed.

Nodding his head, Yuan Chun's face blushed quietly after listening to Mrs. Zhang's words.

After the two mothers said a few more words, Mrs. Zhang took Yuan Chun's hand and went to Mrs. Shi's courtyard.

When I arrived in the courtyard, I happened to see that Shi Shi had set up a card table.The two of them touched the cards together.

After shouting and shouting, Mrs. Zhang ushered in lunch after losing a few taels of silver.Lunch is only Yuanchun, Yingchun and Baoyu's uncle and nephew are at Shi's place.Others, whether they are married or not, have long since ceased to be used here.

Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Shui and Sister Feng picked up a few of their personal favorites, and waited quietly as usual.

As for the Xing family, they have long been under the "filial piety" of Sister Feng, and rarely enter the Rongqing hall of the Shi family except after paying their respects in the morning and evening.

After eating for a while, I waited for Shi to eat for a while, and then retreated.In the afternoon, after taking a nap, Mrs. Zhang came in to talk with her confidant.

"Madam, don't worry, the other end has already been moved. It is estimated that there will be news in a few days."

Mrs. Zhang nodded, and the servants withdrew.Until the lamp was held, Mrs. Zhang still sat there in the same posture just now.She didn't move, she didn't say a word.

The princes are all grown up, and there will be elections this year and next.Mrs. Zhang did not make a marriage arrangement for Yuan Chun for a long time, and deliberately used the excuse of tormenting Mrs. Qin, slowly delaying from now on, waiting for the will of the draft.

Of course, not everything can be waited for.Mrs. Zhang quietly asked people to contact the nails buried in the palace by Zhang's family in the early years, and asked them to wait for the opportunity to pass on some words related to the draft.

No, even if the old emperor can't remember the draft, the draft is coming soon under the reminder of others intentionally or unintentionally.

She has prepared for many years, just for today.How could it be possible to give up because of Yuan Chun's words?

She and Da Fang gave Yuan Chun a hope, and then let the people of Er Fang personally kill him.At that time, once Yuan Chun is favored, he can imagine who he is more attached to in his heart.

The Zhang family's blood was not shed in vain.

The Zhang family is a loyal family and must be rehabilitated.

Things never go smoothly.When Zhang's plan met Xing and Wang Shanbao, there was a deviation.

After Xing knew about the draft, he didn't react much.Although she is not the embarrassing person in the original book.But not much better than that.

She adopted Tanchun, but Aunt Zhao gave birth to a son, Jia Huan.Evenly matched, even in the second room.But the blame is only to blame that she married in late, but she is not as young as Aunt Zhao's age.

In terms of appearance, it is also inferior by three points.So Jia Zheng still favors the Zhao family.But it is a bit better than Jia She, who is full of aunts in the original book.

Xing has never forgotten her plan to subsidize her natal family.In the past, if it was just to supplement her mother's family, now she still has the heart for her own sake.

She has not been pregnant for the past two or three years, and this matter is very difficult for her to accept.After tossing and tossing for a long time, the imperial physician kept seeing the doctor and drinking the soup and medicine, but there was still no news.

She is not the young Sister Shui and Feng who can wait a few years to have a baby.So gradually she became a little pessimistic about whether she would be able to have children in the future.

In such a home, the daughter-in-law, Sister Feng, didn't even have any face for her, and she dismissed Jia Zhu's roommate as soon as she entered the door.She also played a trick, which made her lose all face.If there is nothing to do in the future, don't you want to live by seeing Sister Feng's face when you are old?

The more Xing thought about it, the more pessimistic she became.

These days, you can live without everything, but you can't live without money.But in the second room, the housekeeper’s income is only a little, and he hasn’t saved much in two years. When Sister Feng entered the house, just over a month later, the old lady spoke and handed over the housekeeping to Sister Feng. Enjoying the blessings of a daughter-in-law, but the truth is, no one knows.

Especially not long after the conflict with Sister Feng.This Sister Feng took care of the house.What good can it do for her.Sure enough, the new official took office three fires, and it was a lot of rectification.Even the sewing room that she had cut down just after entering the door was restored under the old lady's decision.

The face hurts from the beating.But there was nothing she could do.She is stupid, and she is not liked by her mother-in-law.If you want to stand up, you have to wait for the opportunity.

Originally, she also took over her niece Xiuyan from her natal family.Wang's niece can live in the mansion for a while, but why can't her niece not.

Everyone in the world is powerful, and there are love houses and black people.Who is Sister Feng? She is the eldest daughter of the Wang family, even if she has no parents, her origin cannot be changed.If you treat her badly, that's a slap in the face of the Wang family.

But what about Xing Xiuyan?What are her parents doing.Who are her relatives?It's just a broken house.Who can really think of her as Miss Qianjin.

Sister Feng is Yuan Chun's biological cousin, but Xing Xiuyan has nothing to do with her.Others even more so.Xing Xiuyan has been in the mansion for several months, except for the first day when Mrs. Xing brought her in to pay her respects to Mrs. Shi, everyone gave her a meeting gift according to the etiquette, and they almost didn't pay attention to her.

Yingchun likes the many younger sisters in the family, but this younger sister is not as good as the cousin she has been with since childhood.The cousin didn't like it, and Yingchun didn't go any further.

Baoyu and Jiazhi are even more so, although Baoyu still thinks that her daughter's family is good.But under the vigorous upbringing of the Tang Dynasty and Yuanchun, and the fact that the reality cannot be indulged, he doesn't like the stepmother's niece who radiates dark breath towards him from time to time.

The Xing family deliberately asked Xing Xiuyan to come out to play together when Baoyu went to pay his respects.Yuan Chun would also take Baoyu away on the grounds that the old lady would be anxious if she went back late.

Xing's anger was helpless.She had made up her mind that if she wanted Baoyu to marry her niece Xing Xiuyan, then Xing Xiuyan would not be able to help her natal family.

In fact, everyone saw Xing's calculations.Although Xing Xiuyan looks good, he is also very cute.But I can't stand having an aunt who doesn't rely on Pu.Niece Aunt Xiao, nephew Uncle Xiao.It was unbearable for the Jia family to come in, even the Xing family, so how could another one come in.

Whether it is the Shi family or the Zhang family, they are very disgusted with such things.Don't even think about it.If the second son married the step-wife's niece, what would happen to the eldest son.Another thing is that the brotherhood will also have a certain impact.The beginning of the chaos is nothing more than that.

So when the Xing family tried their best to match up and tried their best to dismantle the situation, Xing Xiuyan lived in Lixiangyuan for half a year, and had no real contact with Jia Baoyu.

Even so, Xing still did not give up.She felt that the two of them were still young, and she still had plenty of time, but the most urgent thing to delay was to marry Yuan Chun, who was always on the sidelines.

Thinking of Yuan Chun getting married, he thought of Yuan Chun's dowry.After going back and forth, the idea of ​​Yuanchun's dowry came up again.Jiazhu had a tigress-like Sister Feng, and Baoyu didn't say how closely that Nanny Li watched her, but she didn't, and she didn't have many things. After all, her big head was locked by the old lady.

The only thing that can move is the dowry of the elder girl Yuanchun.After thinking about it, she could help her arrange the dowry and keep some of it.

At this moment, Wang Shanbao's family said that the court announced the general election.

When Xing Shi heard it, his eyes lit up.The general election is a concubine and a nobleman, and the small election is a slave and a handmaiden.Either way, you can save a lot of money.

You know, no matter how stupid the Xing family is, it is impossible for Yuan Chun to become the prince and concubine.As long as it is not the prince and concubine, the dowry and so on are uncertain.

So that night, Mrs. Xing specially cleaned up and invited Jia Zheng to the main room.A good meal, good wine and good food, so foolish.

Jia Zheng, who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, feels that his daughter should also be loyal.So the next day, the Yuanchun newspaper was named.

All of this, Zhang sent his confidants to monitor secretly, until Jia Zheng entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then came back to report to Zhang.Mrs. Zhang, who had been paying attention to this matter, finally let go of her worries that had been raised for several years.

It's a pity that Zhang's reassurance was too early.
