The Rich and the Idlers of the Red Chamber

The Anlehou Mansion has given the royal face enough whether it is the acceptance gift on the surface or the betrothal gift given behind the scenes. Both the royal family and the court can get certain benefits from it. It's really not worth mentioning.

A saint is just someone calling him a saint, a saint. If he is an emperor, if he is really a saint, he will not be able to get along long ago.Even if it is a Confucius sage in history, he is not a person who has no desires and desires. After receiving the benefits of the Anlehou Mansion, although the sage cannot directly say that I am very satisfied with the dowry you gave, I will reward you as much as I want. How shallow the emperor's eyelids look like this!Therefore, on the one hand, the sage ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to increase the dowry for Princess Rong Le, on the other hand, he couldn't make Princess Rong Le feel that she was favored, and after marrying later, she would offend An Le Hou Mansion, that would be bad.

Therefore, the old sage first summoned Concubine Yu and made a few remarks to Concubine Yu. If Concubine Yu was a fool with only looks but no brains, it would not be her turn to be favored later, and she could live a peaceful life. The next princess is coming, so Concubine Yu went to tell her daughter about it.

Princess Rong Le was really proud of herself at the beginning. The three princesses got married one after the other. It was best not to mention her own husband's family, and the dowry was also the most generous. A little girl, it is inevitable that she would be a little vain, but her own mother would soon The complacency in my heart was awakened.

Concubine Yu was straightforward and crushed the conversation with Princess Rong Le, for fear that her daughter would not be able to remember it, and if she got married later, she would control her identity, and the Hou Mansion would not like it, and the saint would be displeased: "Rong Le! , even though you are a princess, you can still be crowned as the eldest princess before you get married, but after you get married, you still have to be respectful and obedient to your son-in-law, Lord Anle and Mrs. Hou!"

Princess Rong Le was a little displeased, but she still said: "My concubine, don't worry, my daughter knows it well!"

Concubine Yu Tai shook her head, and said: "You are the flesh that fell from my body, I don't know what you think, that's right, you are a princess, it's enough to save face, but Anlehou Mansion is not In the same way, when you look at the richness of the acceptance ceremony in Anlehou Mansion this time, it is not because you, the princess, are favored, but because of the face of the royal family, you have to remember this clearly!"

Seeing that Princess Rong Le was a bit unhappy, Concubine Yu lowered her voice, and said: "The Na Caili is not bad, in fact, those are just small heads, your father and emperor, my concubine heard about it, Marquis Anle What else did you offer? Your father and your brother valued it very much! Your father has more than a dozen princesses, including your brother. Now there are two or three princesses, but I can give it to you. There is only one Anlehou who handles affairs with your father and your brother! If you put on some airs of a princess in Anlehou's mansion, making the Hou mansion displeased and neglecting you, your father and your brother may not really do it for you. You back up!"

Princess Rong Le became even more depressed when she heard this: "Mother-in-law, what's the point of what I do as a princess? Do I want to be like an ordinary daughter-in-law, and I have to set any rules for my mother-in-law?"

Concubine Yu couldn't laugh or cry when she heard it: "Rong Le, why are you thinking about it? This kind of thing is just a trifle. What's more, An Lehou and Mrs. Hou heard that they are not harsh people. They have servants to take care of you. What does a princess serve, but it is normal, respect them a bit, although it is not like being filial to your father, emperor and mother, you must have the courtesy you should have, and don't rely on the status of a princess , shouting at the son-in-law!"

When Concubine Yu didn't enter the palace, she was also a girl from an official family, and she also knew some ways of getting along with ordinary people, so she thought about it and explained to Princess Rongle: "Don't say that Anlehou's mansion looks idle. There is no real job in the court. In fact, both your father and your brother think highly of him. He usually doesn't speak up, but if he does speak up, maybe it will be useful to the elders in the cabinet! Today's saint is your elder brother, not your father. Even if your father is still in power, he will not really punish a capable subject for the sake of you, a princess. An Lehou has a lot of respect for your father. Thanks for saving him!"

"What's more, even the Anlehou Mansion has no real power and influence. When a woman is married, she still cares about her husband. Even if you have a noble status, if your husband dislikes you and neglects you, you can still use your status as a princess to force him. Is it possible to get close to you? The son-in-law would not have any real power in the first place, and he did not ask for your place, the princess. If you married a shabby household, they might look at the property of your princess mansion and the salary of the son-in-law. Be more polite to you, but Anlehou's Mansion has everything. They don't need power, and they don't need money. Having you as a princess is at best a icing on the cake. You are a stronger princess, at least it won't affect the son-in-law's official career!"

Concubine Yu is a sensible person. The old sage mentioned to her before that she is not afraid of hurting her daughter's heart at the moment, and she speaks more straightforwardly now, so as not to make her daughter feel awkward and have any thoughts. Therefore, Just tell Princess Rong Le that Anlehou's Mansion is not more noble than ordinary nobles. If you marry an ordinary family, they can confess you because you can bring them benefits. , In addition, you can get a little salary every year, but for the Anlehou Mansion, your status as a princess is actually nothing. After all, you can bring very little to the Anlehou Mansion, so, your side Holding on to the airs of the princess, she could only offend her husband's family for no reason.

This dynasty has been established for hundreds of years, and there are some princesses who live well, and there are more princesses who live in a mess. When a princess gets married, she has to go through a certain psychological gap. When she is in the palace, sometimes, the princess is worse than some princes. He is favored, but after marriage, he is nominally the emperor, but the so-called minister is his son-in-law, the elder or close relative of the son-in-law.If you can't grasp the relationship here, then even the princess will have a tragic life.

After all, if the son-in-law doesn't take the initiative to go to the princess mansion, the princess can't summon a son-in-law every now and then even if it's for her own face. no.These days are no different than later generations. Women pay attention to dignified and reserved, especially princesses. People who are used to being polite since childhood, you can't humbly and swallow your breath to please your son-in-law. Lying on the same bed and having different dreams in the same bed? Well, if the son-in-law is not happy, even if the princess feels wronged, she won't have the face to make a scene.

As for the reconciliation and separation, that is simply a dream, and the royal family also needs face.Even if the concubine is at fault, at most she will make someone die of illness quietly, and there will be no divorce, let alone a princess.At most, the royal family will reprimand the son-in-law, lower the treatment or something, and then have to say that you, a princess, are incapable and can't win the heart of the son-in-law.

Under normal circumstances, those who can honor their lord are generally very polite to the princess, but you, a princess, cannot really treat a son-in-law as a servant. Although a son-in-law can be regarded as a subordinate of the princess, but these days, you need to show some face , who is willing to admit that he eats soft food!People also have self-esteem, okay, you can't let people see you, remind him that he is not a husband at all in front of the princess, but only a little better than a slave!

What's more, ambitious people are not willing to choose their master at all. For ordinary princesses, it is absolutely rare that they can really marry young talents. Therefore, many princesses do not marry well. At first, they thought that consorts should be regarded as young talents Jun, when they got married later, they found that the other party was a dandy or even a rascal. The psychological gap made it difficult for them to get along with their husband's family. Therefore, most princesses, to be honest, although the material conditions are still considered rich, but, Spiritually, they are not as good as ordinary couples.

Concubine Yu is really worried that Princess Rong Le has a good hand compared to other sisters, but she is self-confident, which will make her life unhappy.Therefore, it is to persuade her daughter to lower her figure a little bit in front of her husband. Of course, she does not need to be submissive like an ordinary wife. Princess Rong Le doesn't need to do too much, just use a little more snacks, and the days ahead will be better.

Concubine Yu and Princess Rongle explained everything clearly. Princess Rongle is not a stupid person, nor is she arrogant by nature. Can it be the same as being a daughter-in-law?Concubine Yu was worried that she would not be able to let go of her arrogance in the Anlehou Mansion because of this arrogance. Although the Anlehou Mansion was not a harsh family, it did not seem like a person who could get used to her daughter-in-law's temper.

Obviously, neither the Emperor Taishang nor the Concubine Yu had too much to worry about. To be honest, neither Jia She nor the Zhang family expected their future eldest daughter-in-law to be a docile person. As long as both parties can get along, she can If you have a common language with your son and can get along well with each other, then there is no problem!Jia She and Zhang's two didn't want to live with their son and daughter-in-law, as long as Princess Rong Le could get along well with A Shou, then they would be satisfied.

As for Ah Shou, some people think that a big pie hit him on the head, and some people think that it is a pity that Ah Shou has become the master. Great future.

Ah Shou himself didn't care about this. He originally wanted to take the exam for a juren or something, but after doing some stereotypes, he immediately knew that he had no talent for this. Therefore, he wanted to pass the imperial examination. It is simply impossible for him to be an official. Even if he wants to be an official, the only way he can go is the path of grace.

Ah Shou was probably influenced by Jia She, and he really has no interest in being an official. To be honest, people in the Jia family probably have one word in their temperament, and that is the word "crazy". Originally, Jia She was obsessed with Gold and stone antiques, for a few ancient fans, can do anything at all, but Jia Zheng is obsessed with fame and official career, Ah Shou and Ah Ning are similar, Ah Shou is obsessed with science, but Ah Ning is obsessed with science. Is obsessed with medicine.

Compared with being an official butcher, what Ah Shou prefers are those numbers and various formulas and theorems that are like heavenly scriptures to many people. He hopes to know more things that he didn't know before, and to be able to create them himself. More utensils.

Therefore, marrying a princess actually has no effect on him. Therefore, it looks rather flattering, but it makes many people give him a high look.

However, Anlehou's Mansion got the Lord's will, but it made some people feel unwilling, and it was still Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Zhu has also reached the age of getting married. Whether it is the Shi family or Jia Zheng, they all want to marry Jia Zhu with a capable in-law. In their view, their own family is still the family of the state, and Jia Zhu is the future heir, but they can't think of it. , when Jia Zhu arrived, there was no title to inherit at all.

How much difference can there be between Jia Zhu and Jia Chen? Jia Chen is still younger, both of them are scholars. Jia Chen favored the princess, and he was still a favored eldest princess.But as for Jia Zhu, it is rare for Shi to express his desire to choose a suitable eldest daughter-in-law for his eldest grandson with people he knows, such as four kings and eight princes, and his family historians. It's about Gu Zuo and others talking about others. Some said that their daughter was still young and wanted to stay for two more years. Some said that they had already negotiated with someone else, and some wanted to directly express their opinion that their daughter was not suitable for Jia Zhu.

Even the historian's side is lukewarm. It's fine if the historian doesn't have a suitable daughter, but there is a suitable daughter. In the end, seeing that Shi's polite rejection seemed to be incomprehensible, he simply launched a concubine.

Shi almost died of anger. She had a stroke before. Fortunately, the first attack was not serious. After laying down for half a year, she almost recovered. On the surface, there was no abnormality at all, but only Shi Shi I know that she often feels dizzy now, and often her hands tremble. Shi Shi may not love Jia Zhu very much, but she wants to marry Jia Zhu who can help Jia Zhu, or someone from Rongfu Wife, she has a very high vision. Even if such a family really thinks Jia Zhu is good, they have to think about Shi Shi and Jia Zheng's character.

The Shi family only felt that since the death of her natal brother, her nephew was disobedient after he went up. The saint is in power, so the title of Marquis Bowling has only been lowered by one level, and he has become Uncle Bowling.

In the beginning, the eldest son of Old Shihou, Shi Xiangyun's father, inherited the title. As a result, this one was unlucky. He found a foreign job, but encountered a mudslide on the road, and died directly.His wife has been in poor health since giving birth to Shi Xiangyun. After hearing the bad news, she fell ill and died of depression not long after.

Shi Xiangyun was the only girl left in Xijue's long room. Shi Ding and Shi Nai also fought for the title of Uncle Boling. In the end, Shi Nai, who had two legitimate sons at that time, was considered to have won. Under the mediation of the clan, Shi Nai's second son was adopted to his eldest brother, and a kid who had just learned to walk and could not speak well inherited the title.

The unlucky Uncle Baoling died on the job. After all, he died on the way to take office. The old sage also felt that the unlucky uncle was really unlucky. Therefore, the historian wrote a letter saying that it was for the deceased Baoling. Uncle adopted his heir and asked to take over the title. The old sage didn't bother to take care of the historian's housework, so he agreed directly, but the title was lowered by another level and became Viscount Bowling.

Thanks to Shi Ding and Shi Nai who still have positions in the army, they are all middle and high-level generals, otherwise, the historian would have almost been kicked out of the honorable camp.

Shi thought that the Shi family is now his nephew, and in the end he wanted to use a concubine to perfuse him. Therefore, he just felt humiliated. Fortunately, her psychological quality is pretty good now, so she didn't faint from anger on the spot , suffered a stroke again, and after returning home, he beat up in his own yard, scrapped some tea sets, and went looking for other candidates.

Jia Zheng’s thinking is different from Shi’s. Shi’s value is honor, while Jia Zheng’s is thinking of Qingliu. But he is confident that Jia Zhu will be able to pass the imperial examination sooner or later. Naturally, he will be in the circle of civil servants instead of nobles in the future. Therefore, he hopes to choose a woman from a scholarly family for Jia Zhu. It is half a foot into the circle of literati, how many detours will be avoided in the future!

The problem is, the reason why Qingliu is Qingliu is that people value reputation more. Jia Zhu is certainly a good boy. Many people have to admit this. The question is, what kind of reputation does Jia Zheng have? Shameless and unrighteous people want to marry their own family, isn't this a joke!

Therefore, in the end, Jia Zheng came back in defeat, and even took his own humiliation. After returning home, he didn't reflect on himself, but thought that Jia Zhu was useless. Is it embarrassing for a father to go out?In addition, she disliked Xiao Wang's stepmother as unqualified, and she didn't care if she wasn't her own. Jia Zhu is already at this age, and she is not in a hurry to find a suitable wife for Jia Zhu.

Xiao Wang and Jia Zhu are almost intoxicated with Jia Zheng's logic. If the imperial examination were so easy, Jinshi would not be expensive. There may be a few juren in their teens. indivual!Xiao Wang also knew that it would be easier for Jia Zhu to get married after being promoted, so isn't this waiting for Jia Zhu to take the provincial examination?In the end, Jia Zhu had no choice but to lower his head because of the unwarranted accusations, but Xiao Wang was unceremonious and sprayed Jia Zheng out.

Jia Zhu's marriage was not going well, both Shi Shi and Jia Zheng felt that they had been humiliated, and when they heard about it later, Jia She's son married the princess directly, no matter it was Shi Shi or Jia Zheng, the imbalance in their hearts , There is simply no way to say it!This is too unfair, why Jia She's son can marry the princess, but no one cares about his own son?He didn't think about it at all. At a time when it is impossible for a boy to start a career when he is about to be engaged in his teens, getting married is a matter of fighting for his father in the final analysis. Jia Zheng is far superior in ability and character. How can it be unfair if Jia Amnesty is not included?

However, for Jia She, the Rong Mansion is no different from passers-by now, so Jia She doesn't know the grievances in their hearts, anyway, they won't rush in front of Jia She and clamor.

Jia She's more troublesome is that his son will not inherit his own environmental protection philosophy. After hearing Jia Shen say something about steam engines, Ah Shou immediately began to think about how to make a steam engine. He is still young at the moment, and his attention is easily distracted. In the spring, he released a paper kite with a group of people, and then he heard someone say something. Now he is thinking about letting people fly into the sky.

Jia She himself has never thought about it. He took a few planes in his previous life, but he was a little airsick. He also fell down several times when he was practicing Daqinggong in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers. Therefore, he was really not interested in going to heaven, so naturally he couldn't think of it. This top.

Ah Shou did not make any glider based on the principle of the kite. After all, due to material problems these days, the glider is really not very safe.However, according to the principle of Kongming Lantern, he made a hot air balloon, and then sent a duck in his kitchen to the sky. The duck, who didn't know whether it was lucky or unlucky, was tied up with two feet , and wings, were put in a basket, and taken to the sky by a hot air balloon made of a whole piece of silk. Fortunately, this duck has no fear of heights, otherwise, I’m afraid that when it is found, It's already bad.

Because the fuel is relatively small, after all, the fuel at this moment is nothing more than charcoal grease, there is no concentrated fuel, and the hot air balloon is not made too big. This hot air balloon flew out from the backyard of Anlehou Mansion, It flew to the outer city due to the wind, but because the fuel was burned out, it was unable to continue flying, so it fell obliquely, and it happened to fall into the residential area of ​​the outer city.

Fortunately, after A Shou released the hot air balloon, people kept chasing him, otherwise, the hot air balloon and even the duck would have been taken back by the nearby people.

Since the wings of their ancestors degenerated under human domestication, the duck that has no compatriots to fly to the sky will no longer have to worry about being slaughtered for cooking. It directly suffered horrible crowds. Many people know that After the strange things flew out from Anlehou's mansion, they all ran to the door, and while chasing and asking questions, they showed great curiosity about the duck, and leaned over to stare at it Come and see, I can't wait to see a flower.

At first everyone thought that this thing was made by Jia She, but after knowing that it was Ah Shou who made it, they praised A Shou very much, and they all said repeatedly that it was indeed a tiger father without a dog, and that A Shou had indeed inherited Jia's family. She's talent in this area, if it wasn't for the fact that it's just in its infancy, and it's not sure if there is any danger in this matter, judging by the appearance of these people, each of them is scrambling to make an appointment to go to heaven regardless of their appearance.

Then, the edict from the palace also came, Jia She had no choice but to enter the palace directly with A Shou, following the middle official who delivered the edict.
