Chapter 301 of the Thousand Concubines (II)

"Please aunt and grandmother ......" Xiangyu first greeted the Li family in a proper manner, and then stood in front of her affectionately.

"An, An, our Xiangyu is also fine......" Li looked at Xiangyu's well-behaved and sighed in his heart.

Speaking of which, Xiangyu is two months younger than Tianhui, but since she was a child, she has had a lot of fate, she lost her father before she landed, she lost her biological mother at a young age, and when she was more than ten years old, she caught up with the Li family to ask for her guilt, and had to be elected to the palace.

If it weren't for Concubine Mi to take care of her and take her out of the palace, I don't know how long I would stay in the palace.

Xiangyu was embarrassed by Li's eyes, pursed her lips and lowered her head.

Seeing this, Concubine Mi thought for a moment and said to Xiangyu: "Your aunt and grandmother love almond tea the most, you go and bring someone to make a bowl, put less sugar, and put more osmanthus." ”

Xiangyu responded and retreated with the maid.

"But don't worry about Xiangyu?" Concubine Mi said to the Li family.

She called Li "cousin" earlier, and when Li's identity surfaced, it was not good to call her like this again, but it was inappropriate to call the next name, so she simply didn't call anything.

The same is true of the Li family, but the name is just a formality, and it does not affect the relationship between the two.

Li shook his head with a smile and said, "With you taking care of you, where is there anything to worry about?" Just thinking that she will be in time next year, and she will be so smart by you, I don't know who will go cheaper? ”

Concubine Mi nodded and said, "This child is painful." If you have a good background, anyone is worthy. has no choice but to be limited by her background, so she always has to find a proper person, so as not to waste this scene for her in vain. ”

Li hesitated for a moment and said, "That palace registration?" ”

"Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on it, I can't let Sister Yu hang up the palace to talk about marriage. It happened that she saw Chen Guiren in the palace during the Halloween Festival, and she also wanted to help the girl of the Sun family get out of her nationality. I have already said hello to the little sixteenth master, and I gave the two of them a year ago. Concubine Mi said.

The Chen Guiren in her mouth is the twenty-first elder brother's biological mother Chen, and the girl of the Sun family is the third daughter of Sun Wencheng who was selected to enter the palace.

Chen Guiren is a cousin of the Sun family, and he was sent to Beijing by the Sun family for the draft that year.

"Chen Guiren wants to let the three girls of the Sun family out of the palace?" Hearing the news, Li was a little surprised.

When Cao Ying returned to Ningning, she once mentioned that she was elected to the palace, but she only said that she was following the nobleman, and the nobleman cherished her as her own junior, and she was very decent.

Concubine Mi picked the corners of her mouth and said, "She is lonely in the palace, and she finally has a relative by her side, where can she be willing to let it go?" is to give people to the twenty-first elder brother, and is afraid that the third girl Sun will be bullied in the future because of her low background, so she wants to leave the country first, and then occupy a place first. When there is a man and a woman, it will be more in line with her to raise it to the side. ”

When Li heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

In terms of the Chen family, he is the younger generation of Sun Wencheng and the three girls of the Sun family are cousins.

If you don't care about your status, you just talk about seniority, the third girl of the Sun family is the cousin of the twenty-first elder brother.

Besides, as a prince, there is no shortage of people around Brother Twenty-One, even if there is no big wedding, but Brother Elder has a few qualifications, and two concubines have been added this year.

The three girls of the Sun family were born in Baoyi, and they don't have their mother's family as a backer, why did they go to the elder brother's office to compete for favor with those noble girls of the Eight Banners?

When the twenty-first elder brother officially gets married, he will have to leave the palace to open the mansion, and Chen Guiren will also go out of the palace to support him.

Using his cousin as a concubine for his son, how will his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along in the future?

Concubine Mi looked at Li and said, "You don't have to worry about her, she has her own little abacus." If you don't have a straight waist, where will you be so 'prepared for a rainy day'? ”

When Li heard this, he was a little puzzled.

Concubine Mi sneered: "It's just that I'm worried that the twenty-first elder brother will point to the noble-born Fujin in the future, and her mother-in-law is not easy to control, so she pushed the three girls of the Sun family to the front." In the future, if the daughter-in-law has something unpleasant, she only needs to say a few grievances for the three girls, and she can make the daughter-in-law depressed for a while. ”

When Li Shi heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "No matter what her position is, she is the biological mother of the twenty-first elder brother, even if the twenty-first Fujin enters the door, can she still be treated slowly?" ”

Concubine Mi said: "So it's angry and hateful. It's just that I've been in the palace for a long time, and I'm always thinking about the position. In the palace, the nobles are not as noble as the prince Fujin, and they have to pay tribute to the prince Fujin when they meet. If she is promoted to a concubine, she will not worry that the situation between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will be inferior and chaotic in the future......" In the end, she lowered her voice.

The status of a noble person is not as good as that of the prince Fujin. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, according to the family law, respect the elder and the youngest; According to the law of the country, the prince Fujin is noble and humble.

Li said: "I heard that the twenty-first elder brother's surname is modest and filial, and the nobles also think too much......"

Thinking that the Thirteen Fujin was still there, the Li family did not stay for a long time, and when Xiangyu's almond tea was delivered, he ate half a bowl of almond tea, and made an appointment with the concubine to go out of Beijing together on the morning of the eighteenth, and the Li family said goodbye and left.

Concubine Mi sent someone to call the fifteenth Fujin and asked her to send the Li family out on her behalf.

Waiting for the fifteen fujin to send the guests back, he took the thirteen fujin to the secret concubine.

Just now at the fifteenth Fujin, the thirteenth Fujin said his intention.

Fifteen Fujin said one thing, originally she saw that Xiangyu's fortunes were getting better and better, and the concubine really loved her, and proposed to leave Xiangyu in Baylor Mansion, and promised to take the position of Mrs. Side, but the concubine refused.

According to the etiquette system, Baylor House allowed to have one wife and two side wives.

The fifteenth elder brother is not interested in women, in addition to the fifteenth Fujin of the main wife, there is only the side room Guerjia, and there is a concubine Du Shi who gave birth to a concubine, and there are three other rooms.

There is also a side lady position in Baylor Mansion, and Fifteen Fujin originally wanted to promote the Du family, but he did not get her husband's approval.

Fifteen Fu Jin knew that her husband was like this, not to give himself face, but to be reluctant to have someone sit on an equal footing with the side room, and reluctant to let the son of the Du clan affect the status of the son of the Guerjia clan.

Fifteen Fujin hated it, and proposed that Xiangyu stay in Baylor Mansion, but he just wanted to raise the banner of the concubine, drive the tiger and drive the wolf, and wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Concubine Mi has been in the palace for all these years, what haven't you seen?

She only said that "the seniority is wrong", and she doesn't need to worry about fifteen blessings.

Although she can't get used to seeing her son pampering the side room, because the fifteenth elder brother didn't keep him by his side when he was young, the mother and son were already estranged, and she couldn't talk about her son's affairs. It's just out of sight and out of mind, and when you can enter the palace, you will stay in the palace more.

Now that Zhuang Taifujin has passed away, the sixteenth elder brother is no longer as inconvenient as before, and the concubine is content, and she is not in the mood to participate in the fight between the wives and concubines of Baylor Mansion.

"I can only say that my sister-in-law can mention it, but it's hard to say whether I'm sure it's or not. Looking at the meaning of the mother, she really loves Xiangyu's girl, and I am afraid that she will not agree to let her suffer for her concubine. "Fifteen Fu Jin Dao.

The Thirteenth Fujin didn't know that there was such a stubble, thinking that fortunately it was the Fifteenth Fujin who spoke, not the fifteenth elder brother, otherwise, even if Xiangyu was good, she would not tell Xiangyu to the Fu Monk.

Although she thought that Xiangyu was still involved in the Cao family and the Li family, Thirteen Fujin was already a little hesitant, but her surname has always been cool, not a vague person.

When I went to the concubine's dormitory, I saw that Xiangyu was also there, and the Thirteen Fujin had to take a closer look, and I was still quite satisfied.

When Xiangyu retreated, the Thirteen Fujin still explained the intention.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Mi listened to the words of the Thirteen Fujin, and did not refuse directly, nor did she have a gloomy face, but only thought for a while and said that she was not in a hurry, let her think about it, and discuss it with Xiangyu's elders.

Thirteen Fujin returned home in confusion and told her husband about her doubts.

The thirteenth elder brother smiled: "You, you're just a fan of the authorities." Although you are taking a concubine for your son-in-law, but you have no wife on the concubine, what is the concubine to worry about? You will come forward to be the matchmaker, the blessed monk is filial and knowledgeable, can you still treat the Li family girl slowly? But if the girl of the Li family suffers a little grievance, the concubine doesn't need to look for blessings, she talks to you directly, can you still watch? The concubine is transparent, that is, she really loves that girl, where is the accounting more than those false names? put into an unfamiliar family as a wife, and the husband and in-laws who don't know what kind of conduct they have; If you don't agree to Fujin, the girl of the Li family will enter the bachelor's mansion, even if the in-laws come back from the outside office in the future, for your face, the sixth aunt will not treat the girl of the Li family harshly......"

When Thirteen Fujin heard this, he suddenly realized, and he was faintly worried in his heart, and said, "If the girl of the Li family is naughty, no one can say it?" ”

The thirteenth elder brother raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you think that the concubine is a foolish person, and she cares about nothing......

*Xidan, the new house of the Cao family.

It was obviously a gloomy day, and there were snowflakes scattered and scattered, but the sixteenth elder brother was in a good mood and couldn't help laughing "haha".

Cao Hao rolled his eyes helplessly, he was obviously busy in the household department, but he was pulled out by the sixteenth elder brother under the pretext of watching the garden.

The sixteenth elder brother's face was tense, and Cao Hao was still worried, thinking that something big had happened.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the garden, there was no one around, and the face of the sixteenth elder brother melted with ice and snow, and his eyebrows danced happily.

However, such a happy and angry sixteenth elder brother, Cao Hao also felt novel when he saw it.

has been a prince for a few years, and the sixteenth elder brother is more prestigious, and it is rare to have such a gaffe in front of him.

"Hahahaha...... "The sixteenth elder brother looked up at the sky for a while, looked down at the ground for a while, and smiled for a while.

Cao Hao just stood next to him, looked around, and found that some earth, stone and wood had been piled up, and the originally withered garden had added some messiness.

The sixteenth elder brother was almost happy, looked at Cao Hao with dissatisfaction and said, "Fu Ruo, why don't you ask why the master is happy?" ”

Cao Hao asked in a fluent manner: "Why is the Sixteenth Master happy?" ”

The sixteenth elder brother was choked by Cao Hao, and couldn't help but snort, and then couldn't help but laugh: "The emperor's grace, Prince Yunyi's Mansion and Prince Zhuang's Mansion invite God back to the house......"

"Huh?" When Cao Hao heard this, he became curious: "Just these two palaces? ”

The so-called "inviting the gods back to the house" is to worship the gods in the palace.

Worshipping the gods of court sacrifices and evening sacrifices is an old Manchurian custom, usually one surname and one sacrifice.

In the early years, the princes of the clan first worshiped the gods in the palace, and later allowed the princes to invite the gods to return to the house, and when Kangxi was fifty-seven years old, Kangxi issued a decree to stop the princes from inviting the gods into the palace.

Unexpectedly, the current emperor's grace and this article make the status of the two palaces of Yizhuang rank high in the royal palace of the clan......
