The Promotion of Yuanchun in the Red Chamber

Hearing that the big girl next to Liu Zhi came "in person" to "invite", Yuan Chun was somewhat surprised: the concubine of a county king may not be qualified to meet the concubine of another county king...

In this world, the only concubine who can be carefully served by a princess of the county can only be the woman of the Holy Majesty.Anyway, Yuan Chun was a virtuous concubine in her previous life, in name only, and was not respected by many people from the bottom of her heart.

She was a little helpless, and she knew that the princess would not be too kind, so this trick came soon?

It's just that Princess Zhongshun is indeed here to walk the "madam's way", but it doesn't mean that she will only fight against the enemy and blindly cater to Liu Wei, who is similar to her own status.The target of Zhongshun Palace is Zhao Zhizhen, not this bad-tempered Seventh Princess.

Especially the relationship between the Seventh Prince and his wife is very ordinary, and it is no secret, and the always cold Seventh Prince is obviously more interested in Xinna's concubine... How can Princess Zhongshun let Liu Wei take advantage of it casually?Of course, it is inevitable to grasp the weight.

So Yuan Chun came to the hall where the main room of the palace received guests, and politely bowed to the two concubines one after another. The radiant Liu Wei didn't even give her a straight look, and said in a flat voice, "Set up a seat for Aunt Jia."

Princess Zhongshun also smiled at Yuan Chun: She is indeed a girl raised by the Duke's Mansion. This appearance of being neither humble nor overbearing, with a moderate advance and retreat, is more likable than Liu Wei.Of course, Princess Zhongshun said this in her heart.

Liu Zhi said: "I've seen you too, what do you think?" Yan Bi smiled brightly, and chatted with Princess Zhongshun again.

When the two princesses talked, they put Yuan Chun aside.It just so happened that Yuan Chun himself had something on his mind that needed to be taken care of carefully: his uncle and aunt's family returned to Beijing, and his uncle was still in the south at the moment, no matter how reluctant he was, the Rong Mansion had to get important news from his uncle.

The uncle is an idle job, the title is not low, and there is no real power, but there is nothing to mention here with the father, anyway, they are not qualified to be the emperor, and they can't count on the uncle.

It is estimated that by then, she will have to spend some time to calm down her mother's unwillingness.Yuan Chun has always firmly believed: the situation is stronger than people, and if the mother and aunt can't get along, what's the point of just being angry and willful and saying sour words?

Yuan Chun herself didn't want to enter the palace at all, and she didn't want to be a concubine, even the emperor's concubine... She was still a concubine, but besides her own brother Jia Zhu, who ever asked her if she was happy?

Yuan Chun's mind was not idle, and Princess Zhongshun was also quietly observing her: she was not impatient, and she always had a smile on her face...With Liu Wei as a foil, the Seventh Prince would definitely prefer to listen to Mrs. Ru's words.

Being able to find out the "details" of the Seventh Prince's wife and concubine, Princess Zhongshun thought she did not come in vain.

However, both Concubine Zhongshun and Liu Wei are the main family, and their views are quite similar: Is it not a concubine in Prince Zhongshun's mansion... and the servants are more favored, and the pillow wind is more powerful?What the concubine gets the most is respect, not favor.

Therefore, if they suppressed a few words smoothly, they might not refuse, anyway, it was Liu Wei who took the lead.

If Liu Zhi is really not the kind of hostess who loves "corporal punishment", thanks to her proud temper, her favorite thing to say is "drive out" rather than "beat to death".

And the reason why she taught Yuan Chun today is quite legitimate.Liu Zhi said: "I heard that your mother's family is lending money outside? The Rongguo Mansion is already in such a difficult situation, how difficult is life like this?"

Yuan Chun never expected that the concubine would mention this... her little face blushed.

Most of her natal family's actions in her previous life were hidden from her. At that time, she had no intention to take care of her natal family carefully. She didn't know that her natal family had been completely emptied until she was dying.

What the mother did was so detrimental to her virtue: so her most beloved son, Baoyu, became a monk, her daughter died, and her grandson, whom her mother never loved, also had a deep estrangement from her. The lonely end.

But in this life, she has just left the house, and she doesn't have the confidence to discipline her family.

Seeing the blushing cheeks of this concubine, Liu Zhi couldn't help feeling a little happy.

After hearing the words, Princess Zhongshun also said: "Is this true?" After a pause, she said in a soft voice, "Persuasion should be done, this... spreading the reputation is not good."

As an official, as long as it is not a cold yamen or an idle position with no real power, there are always many ways to get money generously: for example, the ice respect from the Ministry of Households, and even the people who ask for it. All kinds of filial piety... All in all, people who are a little decent don't need to stand out by themselves and find a name outside to make money.

Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng's actions are not considered a great crime, but it is indeed embarrassing to say it. At least this is something that most of the courtiers don't bother to do: either the family's eyelids are too shallow, or the family's Ziren's ability is not good, either... or a combination of both.

If this word reaches the ears of the Seventh Prince Zhao Zhizhen, Rong Mansion must be underestimated.

When Princess Zhongshun said this, it was purely a blatant provocation, but as long as she cared about her natal family, it was hard not to do what she said.But Yuan Chun made up her mind not to open her mouth. Not only did she not explain in front of the two concubines, she also planned not to say a word in front of her natal family.

Because this matter is really a petty crime, if the censor really catches it, it will end well, and at the same time, it can teach the mother and sister-in-law a lesson: save her from going back to persuade her, and let her stubborn and caring mother make her look like a human being .

The two princesses talked each other for a while, seeing Yuan Chun standing with his hands down, his little face flushed all the time, but he just didn't say a word... Suddenly he lost interest.

Liu Zhi raised her hand and sent Yuan Chun back, and she continued to talk to Princess Zhongshun.These two want to discuss going to the palace to meet the lords—Princess Zhongshun can go to the palace, but no one recommends her, which empress is willing to say a few more words to her?

Yuan Chun stepped out of Liu Zhi's yard slowly, and his complexion gradually recovered. When he returned to his own place, Ao Mei, who had been serving her since she was a child, couldn't help it, "Girl!"

Yuan Chun pinched Ao Mei's face and said with a smile, "You care more than I do."

Ao Mei didn't know what to say immediately, Baoqin's temper was a little more calm, but there was also a feeling that "the prince is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry".The voices of the two girls were very tacit: Girl, this is not our Rongguo Mansion, this is the Wang Mansion!We don't understand anything, but we also know that the royal family has a lot of face!

The concubine will definitely make people add fuel to the story of our wife's little~milk~milk, and publicize it well!

Yuan Chun teased Ao Mei for a while, and then his eyes fell on Bao Qin - the ancestor used to be able to ~tune~ teach girls, Bao Qin is much smarter than Ao Mei.

It's just that if you want the girls to be of one mind with you, you must first treat them with sincerity, Yuan Chun said softly: "The prince knows about our family." I know, the prince is still in the dark." Even if he didn't know at first, the prince had to hear about the gossip about the concubine in the room.

Yuan Chun's voice gradually became inaudible, "If my mother's family is really a first-class family, how can I let my daughter be the prince's concubine?"

Aomei and Baoqin were speechless for a moment, they wanted to comfort their daughter, but they didn't know where to start.

Yuan Chun said with a smile: "It's better to say it's broken early, so that the hole will be too big, and it won't be possible to mend it."

After she finished speaking, she called the daughter of Mrs. Li - this little girl is You Lan, who is now the second-class girl in front of Yuan Chun, and asked her to call her mother.

Yuan Chun's purpose was to instruct everyone, Li, that when someone from her natal family came to ask questions, she would say that the lord let her live in peace and not worry about miscellaneous things.

As soon as Yuan Chun finished speaking, he caught sight of the gesture of holding the piano out of the corner of his eye. Sure enough, Zhao Zhizhen stepped into the door slowly, with a smile on his face, "When did I say these words?"

Yuan Chun hurriedly got up to salute, and just as he bent his knees, Zhao Zhizhen grabbed his wrist.Yuan Chun raised his head with a smile, and his voice was soft and soft, "Then...won't it be enough for the prince to say it when he is free?"

Zhao Zhizhen felt as if a feather had been brushed against his chest, and his heart itched unbearably, so he purposely said with a straight face, "Well, it's a good life!" Everyone in the room lowered their heads and laughed.

That night, Zhao Zhizhen not only "stayed for dinner" but also "stayed overnight".

En ~ love ~ Afterwards, men are indeed more talkative, so Yuan Chun told Zhao Zhizhen what he was thinking, "When I was at my mother's house, I didn't count what I said, and I sent people home when I heard some rumors, maybe I thought I was climbing a tall branch Son, teach them a lesson, why bother?"

Zhao Zhizhen nodded and said, "It's good that you have such thoughts."

Didn't Zhao Zhizhen intentionally try to persuade his biological mother, but in the end he endured and endured and still didn't say a word, he only showed his grievances to his biological mother, Concubine Shu really understood and thought through it not long after.Feeling that she owed her son once, Concubine Shu would never interfere in his son's family affairs.

However, Concubine Shu might not get along so well with Lao Qi, her own son, but she didn't expect her son to have a bad life at all.Yuan Chun secretly sighed, his natal family is hard to say: at least his mother dotes on his younger brother Baoyu to such an extent that Yuan Chun is a bit unbelievable.

The younger brother was born with a different phase, and the mother pinned all her hopes on him, but the younger brother's abnormal phase is also the last thing that can be brought to the table! the y

Yuan Chun himself was fine, but Zhao Zhizhen had a very good self-cultivation, as long as he didn't betray him first, he probably wouldn't end up in this life, but... I'm afraid my brother's situation at home will become more and more difficult.

There is no other reason. If my elder brother wants to take the imperial examination, he can only get close to his uncle, and if he gets close to his uncle, I don't know how uncomfortable my parents will feel!

But she said that Liu Zhi let Yuan Chun go, but she didn't want to let Rong Mansion go easily - as a woman, she knew best that suppressing Yuan Chun's natal family was more effective than directly restraining Yuan Chun.

It's a pity that Wang Xifeng is just the wife of a concubine, and Mrs. Wang is only a fifth-rank official, so it's quite difficult to find a suitable occasion for this serious princess.

So when Concubine Shu's natal brother held a banquet to celebrate Concubine Shu's mother's birthday, a lady who has always flattered Liu Wei took the fact that the second wife of the Rong Mansion and the second young lady used public money to lend money as a joke. Speak up.

Facing orders from everyone who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Mrs. Wang really wanted to find a crack in the ground and sneak in, and Mrs. Xing's gloating face couldn't be concealed, "Oh, I didn't know this... who made us big Girls should prepare some dowry when they go out."

Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng's aunt and nephew both fell ill when they returned home. The ancestors went to visit each other in person, and directly handed over the housekeeping rights to Brother Zhu's daughter-in-law, Li Wan. His face was so pale that it was uglier than Mrs. Wang.

And Jia Zheng sat quietly in the study all night, and silently handed in his resignation letter.

In fact, Jia Zhu had already received the secret letter from her sister who asked Li Da to send it, just six words when she came to the door, so it's okay to do nothing and talk less.After waiting several days in trembling, Jia Zheng finally received the holy order: if the inner curtains are not repaired, he will be fined for one year.

And Yuan Chun met his mother's most useful mother in the palace, Zhou Rui's...
