Yuanchun of the Red Chamber is not a virtuous concubine

Yuan Chun also knew that the fourth master had the idea of ​​letting the fourth elder brother enter the palace to study next year, so he thought of marrying Shizhu and Shixiu early. Originally, Shizhu and Shixiu had already left the court, and they were not familiar with the court. , and older than Yuan Chun, although the court ladies have the rule that they can leave the palace at the age of 25, but they are loyal to Yuan Chun anyway, and Yuan Chun knows that ancient times were so harsh on women, so how can they bear such a spinning top.

Yuan Chun had leaked this news to the maids before, but now Mrs. Wang came over and gave Yuan Chun the candidate. Naturally, Yuan Chun had no intention of hiding it, so he called Shi Zhu and Shi Xiu in to ask questions while the fourth elder brother was in class.

"Presumably you also know what I asked you to come in. This is related to how you will live your life in the future. I think you should ask your own wishes."

Shi Zhu and Shi Xiu were a little shy at first, but since Yuan Chun has reached this point, of course they are not ignorant people, so they nodded readily, and it was all up to Yuan Chun to decide.

"The servants know that the master treats us well, and they are kind matchmakers. The servants are very grateful. They only see that the young masters of the Jia family are all good. I am afraid that the servants will not be worthy of the young master of the Jia family, and the servants I am also reluctant to part with the master and the little masters."

Yuan Chun knew that this was coming, and they were also somewhat expectant and apprehensive. As for the question of whether they deserved or not, she naturally considered these things.

Now, although they seem to be in some difficulties or at a low point in their lives, they naturally look up to the maid beside her. If one day they become prosperous and people's hearts are changeable, no one can guarantee anything, or it may happen that they spoil their concubines and kill their wives It's just that Yuanchun still has some right to speak in Jia's family, and Yuanchun can use them. As long as Yuanchun is around for a day, there will be no time for people to look down on them.

Things in the back house are just so tricky. Although she can't guarantee that the children of the Jia family will be loyal to them, at least she can guarantee that they will not be rejected by their husbands after being oppressed by their mother-in-law. The remaining property and self-esteem.

It is very difficult for many court ladies to die well after leaving the palace. On the one hand, the court ladies have suffered too much, and their bodies have basically been ruined.

Yuan Chun not only had to arrange them properly, but also reused them. If the children of the Jia family had other bad intentions, they would have to weigh her master's thoughts.

"I know that you have doubts in your heart, but there are not many opportunities for such kindness. I have already agreed with Fujin and Fourth Master in advance, and after next month, Baoqin's whole family will go to Jinling. The industry lacks a trustworthy person. I think you are the big maids around me. I have always trusted you, so I naturally hope that you will take charge of the industry for me. This way I am more at ease. The secrets of the family backgrounds of these candidates are clearly written , go back and have a look."

Shi Zhu also made up her mind, took the list, looked at it, made a decision, and said with a smile, "Since I can do things for the master when I go out, the servant is willing. The master knows that the servant is impatient and cannot bear to be wronged." , the servant girl is not a prudent and virtuous character, so he is the only one, although the family property is not much, but fortunately, there are no father-in-law and mother-in-law who need a servant girl to serve, as for having younger brothers and sisters, it’s okay, it’s just an extra bowl of rice.”

Compared with Shi Zhu's choice, Shi Xiu had to be more cautious, and said, "Master, can you allow this servant to go back and think about it? Shi Zhu is lucky, the servant's father and stepmother are a jerk, so we should choose the one with a lot of family members, so that we can live a good life, but the servant has to think more about it."

Yuan Chun is not in a hurry, there is still a month to go, "Marriage matters need to be carefully considered, and I am not in a hurry, Shi Zhu, do you want to think about it again, don't be too impulsive."

"The person chosen by the master will not be too bad, and this situation is also suitable for me. I am used to being the master. If I remarry and serve my mother-in-law, I am not used to it. I don't plan to change it, that's all. .”

Yuan Chun shook his head helplessly, and said, "Okay, I know your temperament, but don't worry, I will arrange for you to meet up, and if you go back on it, there is no problem, I will find another one for you." Yes. The same is true for Shi Xiu, when the time comes, I will always meet and understand."

Shi Xiu also nodded shyly, "It's the slaves who have caused trouble for the master, so the slaves are here to thank the master for his kindness."

Yuan Chun is not in a hurry here, after all, it seems that if both parties feel okay after meeting, then Shi Zhu will marry first, and I am not afraid that no one will take up the piano class, so Shi Xiu is not in a hurry Then he smiled and said, "Okay, take your time, don't be in a hurry, well, I don't have anything to do here, you go and get busy, lest Si elder brother can't find you later and should complain about me."

Because the fourth elder brother is very smart, Yuan Chun didn't hide the fact that the fourth elder brother was going to marry Shi Zhu and Shi Xiu. Although the fourth elder brother was a little reluctant, he didn't cry and say no, it's just that he has been clingy recently That's all.

Yuan Chun originally thought that the child would start studying at such a young age, and he would not be able to sit still. Unexpectedly, the fourth elder brother liked studying surprisingly, which surprised Yuan Chun and the fourth master. Well, I remember that my grandfather also liked reading very much when I was young."

When talking about studying, Fourth Master thought of Second Elder Brother who was ill again. Now that Second Elder Brother didn't go to study in the palace, he didn't raise much. He was so thin that only a handful of bones remained. This made Fourth Elder very sad. Worried, when the second elder brother got sick, his heart ached. Every time he went to see the child who was getting thinner every time, he didn't even dare to say serious words.

The second elder brother is also helpless and does not know why, his body is very weak, he sweats a little, and he can get sick even if he does not go out. Originally, if he did not enter the palace, it would have been a waste of time to study. For a long time, it is helpless to have to lie in bed all day to recuperate.

The second elder brother not only wants to please Ama by studying, but he also really likes to read, but his body does not allow it. The second elder brother even feels a little resentful sometimes. Why is his health so poor? What is the taste of his life? It's just that as soon as he saw the worried and distressed expressions of Si Ye and Li Fangfujin, the second elder brother would give up his self-defeating mentality and face everyone with a smile.

It's just that when I'm alone, it's inevitable that I feel a little depressed, and I don't really want to take medicine, let alone medicated diet, and I eat less and less.Li Fangfujin's thoughts have been on Hong Yun recently, so he naturally discovered this situation, and he was secretly anxious, but he tried many methods, but he couldn't improve it.

Li Fangfujin also found that he was becoming more and more powerless. Leaning on the shoulder of the fourth master, he said weakly, "It's all my fault for being a bad mother. I didn't give him a healthy body back then. I was useless. He He's 11 years old, is it true that God won't let him go? He's still so young, I haven't seen him get married yet, how could it be...how could it be? What should I do, how can I keep him? .”

The fourth master was also very heartbroken. When Hong Hui died, he was also asking God why he didn't open his eyes and take back such a good child. Now the only sons he and Li Shi have are the second elder brother and the third elder brother Brother, isn't God letting him go?Even if he is fat, he has experienced the pain of bereavement?

Fourth Master didn't know how to comfort her. He had already hired an imperial physician to stay in the mansion, and the other women in the backyard did not dare to approach Fourth Master at this time, for fear of being angered. Even Yuan Chun was afraid that the children would be punished by Fourth Master The master vented his anger, except that when the fourth master was away, he took the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother to visit Li Fangfujin and the second elder brother, and never met the fourth master at all.

Originally, when it was almost the end of the new year, she thought that the second elder brother would be able to survive. Who would have thought that it was just a small wind and cold, which could actually wear down the second elder brother's body. Now the second elder brother Hong Yun is already dead. I can't get out of bed anymore, every time Yuan Chun goes to see the second elder brother, he can feel the second elder brother's life passing by.

Probably this was the first time that the fourth elder brother faced death so close. Looking at the thin and sunken cheeks of the second elder brother, the fourth elder brother showed a fearful expression for the first time. Although he didn't say anything at the time, he was silent a lot when he went back.

Yuan Chun didn't know what to say to the fourth elder brother, so he just hugged the fourth elder brother gently, giving the fourth elder brother a sense of security. After a long time, the fourth elder brother looked at Yuan Chun with a sad face, and asked, "Emiang, what does the second elder brother look like?" Is it... Is the second brother going to die? I don't want the second brother to die, they said that if they die, they will never see each other again." After speaking, tears flowed down my face.

After hearing this, Yuan Chun burst into tears. The second elder brother is usually a well-behaved and polite child. He treats her very respectfully and treats the fourth elder brother well. No, I will go someday, and her heart is also sore, Yuan Chun wiped away her tears, shook her head, comforted the fourth elder brother, and said, "Who did you listen to say these things, don't ask or say these things in the future Don't say unlucky words in front of others, let alone think about it, Er Niang knows you are a good boy, you like your second brother, but you are just worried about him, it's just that we adults are involved in this matter, don't be too Worrying, you Mama invited the most skilled imperial physician in the imperial hospital, and the second elder brother will get better."
