The Promotion of Yuanchun in the Red Chamber

When the news reached the palace, Yuan Chun was chatting with his mother, Mrs. Wang.

Yuanchun didn't have any major problems with this pregnancy, but she felt uncomfortable from time to time.Zhao Zhizhen saw it, and although he didn't say anything, he spent more time with Yuan Chun, and often sent people back to Rong Mansion to invite Yuan Chun's natal family to visit.

Not to mention Mrs. Wang and sister-in-law Li Wan, even Jia Zhu and Jia Min came a few times in their busy schedule.

Yuan Chun didn't forget to ask his aunt and brother about "helping people propose marriage"—to find a good wife for Liu Huan, the family background is decent, and the key is to live a good life with Liu Huan.According to my aunt Jia Min, she had some clues, and after the first lunar month, she looked for an opportunity to mention it to Liu Huan seriously.

Since the mother and daughter talked about other people's marriages, Mrs. Wang's heart was moved, and she also wanted to hear Yuan Chun's comments on the girls from various families in Beijing.

But when Mrs. Wang is out to socialize now, the wives of other families always first ask how the old lady is, and then ask if the side concubine is well.If Mrs. Wang can't tell the truth about this kind of "clear statement", she will be sorry for her status as the head wife.

But she said that Mrs. Wang had already stopped thinking about marrying the girls of the Wang family to Rongfu, and the nieces were not too outstanding.

As for Baochai, she looked good, but her brother-in-law wanted to make a "great fortune" for her daughter, and even a young talent like Liu Huan, even her brother-in-law felt that she was not good... so she accepted "nosy". thoughts.

"Baoyu is promising too." Speaking of her youngest son, Mrs. Wang's face was a little proud. "His knowledge is praised by the master, and he will be able to help you and brother Jian in the future. Now at home, he gets along well with his brothers and sisters." That’s right, my cousin and my cousin also visit each other from time to time, writing poems and admiring flowers, they are so busy.”

Yuan Chun stroked his lower abdomen when he heard the words, and smiled slightly, "They are all relatives of our own family, so we should get closer together, maybe we can even get closer."

Mrs. Wang was startled, and then remembered that her sister-in-law Jia Min often saw her daughter... After thinking about it, what if she and sister-in-law don't have a good temper?Baoyu also wants to take the imperial examination, and the Lin family will certainly help his son's future a lot.She no longer understands the affairs of the court, but also understands the reason why the eldest son and eldest daughter are so close to the Lin family.

However, she misunderstood Yuanchun's "kissing and kissing": she thought that her daughter and her mother-in-law, Jiamu, had thought of one place, and they were all optimistic about Baoyu and Daiyu...

In fact, Yuan Chun's original intention was that when the younger sisters of the Rong Mansion reached the age of leaving the court, it would be a wonderful thing to get married to the students of their uncle Lin Hai.

Yuan Chun didn't know what his mother was thinking, and then persuaded, "Second brother Lian is a military officer. Even if he is more informal, no one will catch him. But my brother has been selected as a Jinshi and appointed to the Imperial Academy. Our family will follow the path of civil servants and communicate with other families. You have to be more careful about contacts and even getting married, and Baoyu's mother should also pay more attention, and don't let him mess around."

Yuan Chun now has quite a few useful people in the Rong Mansion, his younger brother Baoyu and Qin Zhong... even had a different affection for an actor in his previous life, and the room of the thirteen or fourteen-year-old brother was even more "full of splendor". There are more people in the room than Grandpa Zhao Han.

The more Yuan Chun thought about it, the angrier he got, and he said straight to the point, "There's a big group of Yingying and Yanyan, what kind of reputation does the brother of the second room of the Rong Mansion have if he spends all day in the crowd of fans?"

Mrs. Wang frowned, and quickly argued, "Baoyu is still young, she hasn't reached that... age."

Younger brother Baoyu loves sex, but it's completely different from Jia Lian's "lustyness". This is why Yuan Chun and her brother Jia Zhu directly disciplined him ruthlessly.Yuan Chun looked at his mother, but didn't speak.

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to continue: "Baoyu reads well and is polite. They are just a few beautiful girls, so if you agree, you will agree."

In fact, Jia Zhu also persuaded her mother, but unfortunately Mrs. Wang didn't take it seriously, if Jia Zhu continued... "crimes" are all ready-made: what are you doing in the room where you are so careful about your brother? !

It was only then that Jia Zhu had no choice but to turn to Yuan Chun for help, and Yuan Chun was a little bit upset about her pregnancy, and didn't care about putting on a bad face at all.

Her tone was solemn, with a bit of irrefutable firmness, "Find some stable girls and servants. These days... our family is much stronger than those before. It's just because Baoyu is still young and his temperament has not yet been determined, that mother should bother to take care of him."

If he still refuses to listen to the persuasion, Yuan Chun said in his heart: I will throw him into the barracks.Brother Rong can be reborn, so there's no reason why my younger brother can't come out of it.

Yuan Chun's voice was not loud, but it sounded like a bell to Mrs. Wang's ears. She lowered her head slightly, and said after a long time, "You reminded me very well."

Most of the noble families have gone downhill, but their own family is thriving, and she would be a little bit jealous.They dare not seek wealth and murder, but it is not difficult at all to corrupt her son.

Yuan Chun said again: "Be prepared for danger in times of peace. We stand tall, and someone will always try to drag us down."

Mrs. Wang was about to answer when Baoqin hurried to Yuan Chun's side and said something in a low voice... Yuan Chun stroked his forehead and waved his hand, "Tell mother. This time is really a coincidence."

Baoqin saluted first, and then said softly: "Master Ningfu has passed away."

Mrs. Wang got up quickly, ready to leave and go back home.

Yuan Chun watched his mother go out, and felt relieved: don't worry about Baoyu being taken by others in the first month.Jia Jing, as the eldest son and the previous patriarch, the clan will all die for him for three months.It's the New Year, so there is no need to think too much about the banquets and celebrations in the Fuzhong.

It's a pity that Jia Rong, who was working for the prince at the pass, had to come back for the funeral.According to the experience of the previous life, King Pingnan will "mobilize" on a large scale next year. At this time, the whole Ning Mansion can safely shut their doors and observe their filial piety, which is really the best.

To this day, Yuan Chun still has no idea what taboo things the Ning Mansion has done.According to what my brother said, in fact, Jia Zhen didn't fully know what the father's tricks fell into other people's hands.

It is only said that for the sake of the prince, he concealed and took in the daughter of the bereaved family of the previous dynasty... When the prince is deposed, this matter is enough to make Jia Zhen lose his title and lose his official position, but it will not die.

But he said that Jia Zhen was only a third-rank general. If she was cut down again, it would be a question of whether she could live in Ning Guogong's mansion when she arrived.

Yuan Chun was wearing a cloak, holding a hand stove, standing by the door, the branches of the plum tree outside were close in front of her eyes, she could even see the slightly trembling stamens in the flowers: Who would have thought that the cold wind would suddenly blow up, whistling countless snowflakes past , and the twigs and flowers are even more crystal clear and pure in the sun after being hung with some ice and snow.

Vigorous and vigorous, Yuan Chun laughed at himself: What have I been afraid of all these years! ?Even for the sake of Jian'er, she has to fight as hard as she can. Could it be that power and status are obtained through charity?

With a firm mind, she hurried back to the room, not paying attention to her mother and servants around her who were preventing her from falling.Seeing her returning to the room gracefully and steadily, the steward hiding in the corner let out a sigh of relief.

At this time, Ao Mei has already prepared the sackcloth——as a married woman, Yuan Chun has to make great contributions to her uncle Jia Jing.

After a while, Zhao Han rushed over with the athlete wrapped like a small meat ball - the two brothers were studying together in the study outside, and when Zhao Han practiced riding and shooting in the afternoon, he would also bring his lively younger brother with him.

Jian'er heard from Baoqin that an elder he didn't recognize in his mother's natal family passed away, he obediently supported Yuanchun's leg, "Mother, don't be sad."

Zhao Han also said: "The side concubine is sad." Seeing that Yuan Chun was not very sad, he felt that the concubine was just thinking about the impact on her natal family after the death of her relatives, "Maybe... less trouble Woolen cloth."

He already knew that the Ning Mansion had adopted the daughter of the bereaved family and made him his daughter-in-law for the sake of monitoring and preventing the "disaster" for the crown prince.

Yuan Chun rubbed Jian'er's head, sighed quietly, "I'll lend you a good word."

As the sun went down and lights were lit everywhere in the mansion, Zhao Zhizhen's eyes lit up when he saw Yuan Chun when he returned home: As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty and filial...

He coughed lightly, "I heard."

"My lord is concerned," Yuan Chun replied, and then said slowly, "Master and Miss, they have already come here one after another, to express their annoyance to me. The wangfei didn't come," she blinked, "Did the lord come from the wangfei? How is she?"

Zhao Zhizhen thought to himself: She looks more energetic than you.

The former concubine Liu Wei had a more violent temper, but the current concubine Han Xu has a tepid temper, but no matter which one Zhao Zhizhen feels that they are not the same.The difference is that one ended up tearing his face, while the other managed to maintain a bit of decency.

Both Liu Wei and Han Xu were married by the Holy Majesty, so they are naturally very confident: the two know that no matter whether the prince likes it or not, the position of the concubine is as stable as a rock.If it weren't for Liu Zhi's natal family being implicated in the rebellious clan, she and Zhao Zhizhen could have been resentful spouses for a whole lifetime.

As for Han Xu, he looks like he has a son and everything is done.As soon as he entered the gate of the palace, the chief executive came to report: The princess is fine, but she rested because she was unwell...

Immediately, Zhao Zhizhen heard that Ningfu Jia Jing had died, and he wanted to understand why Han Xu was like this.At this time, Zhao Zhizhen said calmly: "She is fine. Something happened to your natal family, and she probably pretended to be sick because she was worried about collision."

Yuan Chun nodded, "It's human nature, and I would be worried about the child in my belly. It's good to be able to live in peace, and then come here to appease me personally like a virtuous corporal, and some people say she's hypocritical, so why bother? Is it okay for the princess of the palace to flatter the side concubine?"

Zhao Zhizhen didn't speak, but said in his heart: This tone is not quite right.

Yuan Chun continued: "Besides being sensible in reading... I also know that if I get involved in the position of the concubine over my own strength, I don't need the concubine to take action. I am afraid that the concubine Shu will be able to take care of me with a word. The concubine has an imperial decree, so there is no need to take care of me." Care about me."

Even if you are the prince, if you don't like the concubine, don't you have to live with her?

Of course, these words hurt Zhao Zhizhen's self-esteem too much, so of course Yuan Chun didn't say it out loud.Taking a step back, even if the emperor wants to abolish the empress, as long as he is not a faint emperor and cares a little about reputation, how can he just abolish it?

From Zhao Zhizhen's point of view, Yuan Chun's words are not usually called euphemistic, but today he is so heartbroken that he doesn't hesitate to scrutinize some words that violate taboos... What is it for?

When Yuan Chun was pregnant with Jianer, he never lost his temper no matter how uncomfortable he was; mourning too much for the death of his uncle Jia Jing... is even more nonsense.I'm afraid that even Yuan Chun's uncle's appearance is a bit blurred now.

How could he know that before he asked, Yuan Chun already asked and answered, "I can't take it anymore!" She slapped Zhao Zhizhen's leg sitting beside her, "I don't want Brother Rong to go back to Beijing. The solution, right?"

Zhao Zhizhen didn't hesitate, "Of course."

"Late strike sounds safe, but it always misses the opportunity. My nephew and daughter-in-law can't always be a decoration, no matter it's Pingnan Wang or Zhongshun Wang's mansion, whoever wants to have trouble has to be contacted..." Yuan Chun resolutely Said, "Keep this hidden danger at home, you can't brag about it, you always wait for others to make a move, when is it a head? If they refuse to make a move, then give them the bait, don't worry if they don't take the bait."

Zhao Zhizhen thought so.

Zhao Zhizhen knew more about Jia Zhen's behavior than Yuan Chun.

It's nothing for Jia Zhen to turn against her son for such a delicate beauty. Zhao Zhizhen even thought that Jia Zhen would let this daughter-in-law "entertain" the prince.

Seeing Zhao Zhizhen nodding his head in approval, Yuan Chun said again, "If you want to do great things, how can you do it without soldiers?" If the prince was even slightly unhappy, she would immediately shut up.

Zhao Zhizhen was not angry either, he just laughed softly, "You really dare to say it." In fact, he also guessed that it was almost the same, so he changed the subject, "I would like to hear more about it."

The corner of Yuan Chun's mouth twitched, "We still have to rely on the prince. After all, Brother Rong is in the army so he can catch them. I guess, the more important Rong's position is, the sooner they will attack."

Zhao Zhizhen agreed very happily, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get tiger cubs."
