Sister Xue of the Red Chamber

Side Fujin gossips Side Fujin Chang Princess laughs and talks about the eldest princess

"It can be regarded as telling you to show your prestige in Jia's mansion! I don't know where Mrs. Jia Tai recruited you." The queen mother said with a smile, "This time, the Ai family has everything in your favor. Don't care about others, you It’s better to make Queen Empress happy too!”

"Emperor Niang has orders, how dare Baoxuan refuse to obey!" Baoxuan said with a charming smile.

At Jia Quan's full moon wine, Bao Xuan chatted and laughed with Sister Feng for more than half an hour, and it was considered to be enough face before Fang got up and left.I don't want to have just left Jia's house, there is a mother in the palace waiting at the intersection, saying that the queen mother has summoned her.

The queen mother let out a long sigh, "Alas... Although there are many bad things in the Jia family, it can be regarded as having an eldest grandson. Ai's family remembers that Wang Xifeng gave birth as if it was a previous event, but time flies. Come on, in a blink of an eye, the Jia Mansion will be serving full moon wine!"

The nanny on the side also chimed in: "I also remember that the eldest princess was only ten years old when she came to Beijing. The days passed so quickly, and now another year has passed, and the eldest princess has also reached the age of marriage. Don't worry, Empress Dowager, I'm afraid you will be hugged by your grandson in a blink of an eye!"

The Queen Mother sighed again. "Oh, how can it be so easy! You said it easily, but why can't the Ai family even see a shadow? Besides, Hongli didn't give him a marriage. You don't know that Baoxuan's marriage will not be announced this day. Set it down, Aijia will not live in peace for a day!"

Seeing that the nanny was still going to answer the conversation, Baoxuan hurriedly said: "Please spare Baoxuan! Didn't the Queen look at you a few years ago?"

"The Ai family has taken a good look at it, but you don't give a letter, how can you tell the Ai family to talk to Hongli?" Ke Yu's mother, that is, Dongping Wang Fujin, went there ten years ago. Dongping Wang didn't want to remarry, and he didn't say which side Fujin he would carry. His family is not a serious clan, and the Supreme Emperor didn't think of referring to others. , the clan's mansion is not easy to play. Now that his family's eldest son is about to marry, the position of Fujin will be vacant in the future."

The queen mother paused, and then said: "If you decide on his family, although she is not a serious mother-in-law, she is still the side Fujin of the palace. You don't have to be very respectful, but you have to have contacts on weekdays. You tomorrow As soon as I see her, I'll be in the side hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace. It's fine if you are a polite person. If you don't know the rules, Aijia can help you beat and beat, so that you won't be wronged in the future. "

"Whatever she does, Bao Xuan has the backing of the Empress!" Bao Xuan laughed.

Prince Dongping's side Fujin Ma's family is nearly forty years old, although he is well maintained, he is not young after all.

She was originally the maidservant of the late Tai Fujin of Dongping Mansion, because she was the son of a family member in the mansion, she was beautiful and gentle, so Tai Fujin gave her to his son as a housekeeper.After Fujin entered the door, he opened his face and counted him as a concubine.

The king of Dongping and his husband and wife, Fujin, have a deep affection, and they treat Ma Shi only mediocrely.Mrs. Ma is also obedient, she does not fight for anything in the mansion, and only serves Taifu Jin wholeheartedly.In this way, even Fujin would think highly of her.When Tai Fujin was seriously ill, King Dongping asked for the title of Ma Shi to show his filial piety, and became a side Fujin.

Bao Xuan looked at the extraordinary woman in front of him, thinking about her background, he couldn't help sighing that it was a good trick.It's just that there is a bit of calculation in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. Since Bao Xuan can see it, it is doomed that this Fujin will only be a Fujin in this life.

"Princess Daan!"

"Hello, side Fujin." Bao Xuan didn't get up, and motioned for the maid to sit down.

"Emperor Amma's Longevity Day in the [-]th year of Yongzheng, when I first came to Beijing that year, I stayed at Prince Dongping's mansion." Baoxuan said with a smile. "Prince Dongping used to be my father's old acquaintance, so I should call him Uncle Shi. It's just that I've been in the capital for so many years, and I've been so entangled in trifles that I can't come to visit. It's our fault."

Mrs. Ma hastily replied: "Our lord also often mentions Mr. Zhongxiao. Your house is busy, so it's inconvenient to disturb him. The lord often said that when you make friends, you don't visit once or twice. When you really know each other, you have time to talk about wine. "

"Since the lord has spoken, Bao Xuan will definitely come to visit him someday!" Bao Xuan said politely.

Ordinarily, if the marriage with Lei Keying is settled, then Bao Xuan must avoid suspicion and not come to the door; if the marriage between the two families fails... With the current attitudes of the two families, if the marriage fails, there must be serious problems For the sake of the family, even if it is to become an enemy, how can there be a "visit at home"!

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Ma answered with a smile: "The concubine still wants to ask the eldest princess for favors."

"Cian Fujin, please tell me."

"I also hope that when the eldest princess comes to the door in the future, the niece and daughter of her natal family who can bring her concubine will be the green plum next to the eldest princess." Madam Ma looked around and saw no one, so he continued, "From Qingmei to Since the palace, I have not seen her for three or four years. She was also brought up in our house, and she often played with the prince when she was young, and she was still young at that time, so there is no need to avoid it."

"I've never heard of that." Bao Xuan slowly sat up straight, and waved someone to call Qing Mei.

Ma said with a smile, "I'm afraid she's too embarrassed to say it!"

How shrewd is the maid in the palace, she has learned all these words to the Queen Mother long ago.

"The Ai family hoped that she would be a sensible person. After all, she is highly regarded." The queen mother sneered, "It's a good idea, but it's a pity that I made the wrong idea."

"When the green plum comes, bring her to Ai's family first. Ai's family will take her there." The queen mother ordered.

When the Empress Dowager came to the side hall with the uneasy Qingmei, Baoxuan was talking inside.

"It turns out that Qingmei's family was released by the mansion to open an account. The prince is really kind."

The queen mother shook her head when she heard the words, signaling the maid to keep quiet.Shi Shiran stood outside the door and listened.

Ma Shi smiled and agreed, "That's right. The prince also raised Qingmei as a half-daughter in his early years. That's why he couldn't bear to see her still a slave, so he released her father's family to open an account."

"Her father? But Chuan Fujin's brother?"

Mrs. Ma froze for a moment, "Exactly." Then she hurriedly changed the subject, "It's just that the prince forgot about Xiaoxuan. After thinking about it, Qingmei has already entered the palace. Every time I mention it these years, I miss it very much. The prince will get it The first son of the eldest son, in the early years, he also hoped to have another daughter. If Qingmei can be brought back to our house with the help of the eldest princess, the prince must be very happy."

"It's just that according to the rules in the palace, the ladies of the palace cannot be released from the palace until the 25th. Even if the prince has ordered it, I will not break the rules."

Ma Shi twisted the handkerchief. "There are some things...although it's hard to say clearly, the eldest princess must also understand. To be honest with the eldest princess, if the eldest princess in the future... I'm afraid she will still live in the eldest princess's mansion forever. It's just that Ke Yin He is the eldest son, and he will be a prince in the future...Besides, the concubine and the prince are getting older, and there is also a housekeeper in the house. This..." Speaking of this Mrs. Ma was embarrassed, as if she was not good at words, and lowered her voice and said, "If there is a will in the future, we will arrange a trial marriage. The concubine only asks that the eldest princess can... Take Qingmei out of the palace. In the future, we can keep someone in our house, regardless of his status, who can always take care of the housework and be filial to the prince."

Outside the door, Qingmei trembled all over.

It turned out that someone said that the eldest princess was looking for her, but she was taken to see the queen mother when she arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Peace.After being stared at by the queen mother for a while, I was still confused and didn't know what I had done, but now I know it.After all, my aunt is too anxious. Although there are letters at home, this matter has been discussed with my aunt.Who knew that my aunt was so impatient, she said everything that should be said and should not be said!The worst thing is to talk about it in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and now the Queen Mother knows about it, if you don't talk about it, it will definitely fail, and I'm afraid I will lose my life!

The Empress Dowager glanced at Qingmei, motioned for the maid to open the door, took the lead and walked in.

"You don't need to be too polite. Ai's family is coming to look for you when you are free. I didn't want to see Qingmei on the way, so I brought her with me. Just keep talking, don't worry about Ai's family."

Madam Ma saw that the queen mother seemed to like Qingmei very much, and immediately laughed, "I am a talkative concubine, but the queen mother heard it."

The Empress Dowager smiled lovingly, "It's all for the good of the children. In this Palace of Compassion and Ning, the Ai family is the master, and no one dares to talk about it everywhere. If you have something to say, you can just say it. You don't have to cover it up. It will never be spread in the Palace of Compassion and Ning." go!"

"The concubine is at ease. I was scrupled at first, and I couldn't say a lot of things clearly. I'm afraid the eldest princess will be confused." Mashi covered her lips and chuckled, "If this marriage is almost settled. It's just the identity of the two children. After all, the eldest princess is more valuable than other people, the concubine is more valuable, and the emperor has made it clear that the eldest princess is recruiting a son-in-law, not a marriage... Thinking about it, the young couple will not live in our residence in the future up."

"Aijia and the emperor have the same meaning." The queen mother said slowly.

Mrs. Ma got up and made a big gift to the queen mother, "I am asking the queen mother for a favor. After the marriage, I will designate Qingmei as a trial marriage." As he said, he pulled Qingmei from the side over, ignoring her struggle, and held her Kneeling together with her hands.

"The concubine is the same as the prince, so I raised Qingmei as a half-daughter. The son loves the eldest princess, and we as elders are not good for them. It's just that the rules cannot be broken. From now on, there will always be a housekeeper in our house. Therefore, the concubine and the prince thought, if Qingmei became a trial marriage Gege... firstly, everyone knew each other well, and secondly, the trial marriage Gege would always become the concubine of the forehead. In the future, the son will not be in our house In those days, if Qingmei is promoted as a side Fujin, it is justifiable to help out with family affairs. It is better than being an ignorant one."

"This..." The Queen Mother said solemnly, "You and King Dongping agreed together?"

"Exactly."

"Hehe." Bao Xuan laughed, "This is really strange!"

"I was not Huang Ama's own daughter, and this side Fujin also knows about it. Even though Princess Heshuo has been sealed now, it is not good to be equal to a princess of royal blood. After discussing with the emperor's brother, Huang Ama thought about the other side. It is not easy to reduce the place, so I let this 'trial marriage match' go to show the difference."

"Furthermore, Brother Huang loves Bao Xuan so much that he has already made a concubine not to take concubines. Huang Ama also agreed. Just for the sake of 'no joke', even if there is a trial marriage, she still has to stay in the palace. It would make Ce Fujin disappointed."

"But the strangeness is here. Huang Ama has already said that the forehead is not allowed to take concubines, which is considered the first among the princesses of the Qing Dynasty. It is best to let the forehead know clearly. The emperor has already informed Prince Dongping about this matter. , the lord also understands. Why... the lord turned around and discussed with Fujin, asking Qingmei to come into the house to take care of the house?"
