Chapter 218 (1)
It was late October when Shengjia returned to Beijing, and the weather became quite cold.Coincidentally, the various furs and other things brought back are very suitable for gifting and rewarding.In fact, it is too late to give away these things in this season, if you are eagerly waiting to keep out the cold.The affluent families in central Beijing have already started buying winter clothes for the whole family as early as autumn, and now they are all starting to wear them on their bodies.
Shujia divided the things into one share, and sent some extra people to the south to send a share to several teachers in Yinreng.When Xiong Cilu and others were in Beijing, they got too close and took care of them too much, which often gave people the impression of utilitarianism.Now that they are retired, they don't have so many scruples if they take more care of them.Even if people know about it, there is only an agreement, so Shujia is not afraid to let people know about it.
Back in the palace, there are different rules for men and women, so Shujia has another time difference as usual to go home and rest, and then go to Ningshou Palace full of energy.
In Ningshou Palace, the empress dowager was happy because the whole family was together again.The old lady looked at the brand new big red tapestry and multicolored ermine coat worn by the princess, with a pair of light white hands exposed from the cuffs, gold bracelets on the wrists, two or three gold rings inlaid on the fingers, and pearl earrings on the ears. On the head is a relatively grand tassel, a small row of tassels hanging from the mouth of the tassel hangs on the smooth and round forehead, which is really dignified and eye-catching.
The empress dowager is a person who can't hold back words, her vision is stimulated, and the key point is when she speaks: "This way you look much younger! I don't even believe that I will show you my daughter-in-law."
Shujia Tuantuan said hello, smiled and sat opposite the Empress Dowager: "Old Ancestor, Hongxi's daughter-in-law has been decided, and it is Gegentana (Wulian Haiziermer's family) from the Three Princesses' family."
The words of the empress dowager, if someone else said it, might be mocking the concubine who is going to marry a daughter-in-law and pretending to be tender, but when these words came from the empress dowager's mouth, she felt at ease and took them as a compliment.Listen to the empress dowager say let go, don't bother.
You can't get carried away too much in life, as soon as you relax, something goes wrong.Leaving aside the other person, the Crown Princess has already figured it out, the empress dowager said "will", and Hongxi's first wife has been decided, so it must not be Hongxi.
Sure enough, the empress dowager proudly said to Concubine Tong: "You can't even guess her." After showing off, she revealed the answer to Shujia, "You have Hongxi's daughter-in-law, so you can't forget Hongdan! "
Concubine Tong had a wry smile on her face, what the emperor just said when he greeted you, why did you always shake it out.That's right, to show the grandson the daughter-in-law, that is the daughter-in-law of the princess, you have to tell her, what's the matter if you finish the main point with the first sentence?
Seeing Shujia's surprised face, Concubine Tong felt very sympathetic: It's hard to pretend to be scared by her in front of the Empress Dowager, right?It is clear that Hongxi's marriage is settled, and it is Hongdan's turn, how could it be unexpected?
Shujia really didn't expect that his son was a junior high school student, and he had to be a junior high school student who entered school very early.Falling in love is regarded as puppy love, so it's time to start discussing marriage?
I wasn't in such a hurry at first. In Kangxi's place, Hongdan's marriage should have been put on the agenda. It's not too late to talk about it today.But chatting with the empress dowager, this crooked old lady talked about from Princess Duanjing to Gegentana, from Gegentana to Hongxi, from Hongxi's marriage to the emperor's grandsons are all grown up, the next turn It was Hongdan who arrived.
Kangxi quickly stopped there, and said, "Pay attention, any children who are interested can be called over to have a look."
The empress dowager paid attention to this.
Concubine Tong smoothed things over and said: "Old Ancestor, the Crown Princess has just come back, tell her to catch her breath first."
Shujia was deeply moved. It took her more than five or six years from the first time she met the old lady until she was finally accused of marriage. Now, is it her turn to worry about her son?Obviously he is still a child.
Hearing Concubine Tong's voice, Shujia said: "Exactly, old ancestor, this matter is not urgent today. I haven't seen you for several months, don't you miss me? Just mention that kid Hongdan again. "
The empress dowager was a little incompetent in handling such a complicated situation. The last sentence was to appease the princess: "I miss you too." The next sentence was to explain the situation: "Aren't I as concerned about Hongdan as the emperor?" She still couldn't let go of Hongdan. About Dan: "Hongdan is not young..." In fact, she really wanted to gossip about Hongdan.
The concubines smiled knowingly and came up to smooth things over.
The empress dowager was harassed by this, she lost the entanglement just now, and asked with a smile: "Be more comfortable outside, does Hongxi want to see his wife?"
It is also a kind of happiness to live like an empress dowager.When the empress dowager was having fun, the Fujins in the palace also arrived.After greetings, and soon after taking their seats, the Empress Dowager forgot about Hongxi's topic again, and began to care about the fourteen Fujin who was puffing out her stomach.
Fourteen Fujin's expected delivery date is December, this year Fourteen Elder Brother did not take her with him when he was traveling, so that she could raise her baby in Beijing with peace of mind.Shujia hadn't seen her for some days, so she also asked with concern.Where there are empress dowagers and crown princesses, there are crooked buildings. The crown princess saw that Shi Fujin's lower abdomen was also protruding, and asked her how she was doing.
All of a sudden, Ningshou Palace was extremely lively.
In this lively scene, compared to the empress dowager's free and easy, the hearts of everyone in the room were turbulent.
Shujia is definitely the one who is most concerned about who her son will marry in the future.The daughter-in-law can't be ugly, and her temperament can't be awkward. Kangxi's standards should be good, right?By the way, the most important one is that you must never marry close relatives!This issue is more entangled with the Manchurian clan, and eight out of ten were married to the royal family.Five generations of direct lineage and three generations of collateral lineage, is that what the Marriage Law says?
The princess didn't think about her natal family at all, and the others subconsciously thought: Is there anyone suitable for me?
It's not that the concubines are too ambitious, it's just a subconscious thought.This is like buying a lottery ticket. When you look at one or several tickets that are about to cash out at home, and say that the lottery is about to be drawn, do you have the idea of "I will win it"?The next step is to rationally analyze its possibility and operability.
The Fujins came a little later, without knowing it,
This meeting of three generations of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law continued like this, sharing the same bed with different dreams. It was not until the meal time that everyone left one after another.
If it is said that the most important thing for Shujia to come back this time is that she can have a good relationship with her sons.
This time when the princess returned to the palace, she encountered another scene that made people cry. Little Hongzao showed a confused look at his mother, and after a while of reaction, he softly called out: "Er Niang~"
Shujia sat on the kang, holding Hongzao in her arms, Hongchen with one arm, and Honggui trying to forget that she had gone to study, pretending to be a little bit more upright, and circling around her mother.Hongtong went out for a while, in a good mood, and put on his elder brother's style, reached out and grabbed Honggui's collar and pulled back: "What about your rules? Come here and stand!"
As soon as the words fell, Hongdan said: "Have you two had enough trouble?!"
It was very lively.
With great difficulty, Shujia comforted her sons. Except for the two younger ones, the other four stood in line and said, "Finally they are all back."
The crown prince, who had been watching from the side since the crown princess came back, finally said: "They are back, they have to go to school tomorrow, and go to study after dinner."
While speaking, Zhao Guoshi and others had already summarized the situation of the prince and his wife in the past few months since they left Beijing. There was no emergency, so they reported it after dinner.It's not a big deal, the parents are short-lived, it's just that this family is a little richer.
After listening for a while, Yinfeng didn't hear anything interesting, so he waved his hand: "It's really peaceful. Peaceful!"
"Why are you sighing again?"
"You don't know, there are a lot of broken things in the court, and if this family lives in trouble, life will be difficult."
"When there are more people, there are more things to do. There are so many people in the world, and there are often more things to do."
Yinfeng waved his hand: "Severe drought, poor harvest, famine, roaring mountains and forests, Miao people's chaos, corruption... I want to kill people." After speaking, he made a gesture.
Shujia gave him a sideways glance: "What's the use of being in a hurry? Khan Ama knows it too, right?"
Yinfeng curled his lips: "Yes, there are quite a few." The old man is looking for stability now.Yinfeng said something not very politely, a little angry.Comments stop here.
Shujia raised her eyebrows: "I'm going to Ningshou Palace today, and listen to the Empress Dowager... I'm going to start worrying about Hongdan's affairs."
Yinfeng's thoughts were attracted: "I also know about this matter. I was by the side when I said it earlier. We are not in a hurry about this matter. After all, Hongdan is still young. Back then, our matter was also It’s been a while.”
"Then let's see it first?"
Yinfeng also meant the same thing, unless the candidate was too intolerable, so he had to admit it: "Don't tell Hongdan about this matter yet. As for others, in my opinion, Khan Ama casually said today that the news has already passed. I’ve traveled all over the capital, and it’s all the same whether I say it or not, so don’t spread the word around.”
"Okay. By the way, I've been busy since I got married, and I haven't had time to talk to Hong Xi. I don't think he is so enthusiastic about his cousin. It's getting cold before we live together. That's not okay."
Yinfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You really think about your daughter-in-law."
"That's right. I'm having a good time, and I want everyone to be well."
Hong Xi was carried over like this.In Duanyi Palace, Shujia did not sit in the main hall of the Mingjian, but went to sit on the south edge of the kang in the second room to the east, and Hongxi sat on a chair in the ground.
Hong Xi was puzzled by Shujia's sentence: "You don't like Gergentana very much?", let me explain, he still doesn't know the name of his future wife.
Even the Crown Princess, I didn’t know it at the beginning. When she came back from Jiangnan, she met this niece and asked her name. At that time, Gergentana hadn’t confirmed that she was her daughter-in-law, and she couldn’t use the girl’s name to go around. Say.Even though she was about to cramp from laughter after hearing this name, Gegentana is Mongolian, and the free translation means "Pearl", she can only hold it in her heart.
After Gegentana pointed it out to Hongxi, Shengjia left, and Shujia was surrounded by all kinds of people, and she couldn't find a chance to introduce to Hongxi alone.Of course, it's also because Hongxi is not her own biological child. If it were Hongdan, maybe she could bring her son over and introduce her if she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.
Shujia immediately added: "It's Princess Duanjing's daughter, your future Fujin."
Hong Xi is a little embarrassed, he has read a lot, and he is embarrassed to say that he doesn't think her parents are beautiful enough, so his liking has been discounted.After a while, he prevaricated with the theory of a gentleman and a gentleman, and finally said: "Marry a wife and a virtuous person, and respect each other as guests."
Shujia gave him a blank stare, but Yinfeng couldn't see it anyway! "Nonsense! Wife, Qi Ye! One body with you, is that your guest?"
"...My son hasn't seen her much yet, and he doesn't know what she is, so I can't say whether he likes her or not."
"What kind of wife do you want, and what kind of wife you will have as long as you teach her well," Shujia paused, "It's up to you if you want a wife that you like."
Hong Xi thought, I have already given someone who is not so cute, how can I like it?
"Princess Duanjing wants a well-behaved daughter, she teaches, I watch, being a daughter, Gergentana does a good job. I want a sensible daughter-in-law, I teach, I reckon, I can teach too Come out. If you want a satisfactory daughter-in-law, you have to do it yourself. If you praise her, she will be comfortable, and your family will be harmonious in the future. If you neglect her, you will make her dumb. Don’t complain about the yin and yang at home in the future. Understand? ?”
Hongxi was a little dizzy, blinked several times, and reflexively said: "My son will lead the training." Slowly, he began to think about the truth of this, but it was still a bit cloudy.
Shujia thought, at least half of the reason for you little thing is because other girls are not pretty enough.Euphemistically said: "I don't want to lecture you on this matter, it's just a talk between mother and child. This thing is like planting flowers, and it depends on you to cultivate them. No matter how good the flowers and trees are, if you don't water and fertilize them, it doesn't take a few days. It has become withered grass. Ordinary flowers and plants, if you take care of them carefully, they will flourish, and even the leaves will be lovely green. You can treat her as you want. You are a first-time couple, and you will live a lifetime. Try it."
With hesitation, Hong Xi agreed.I was still wondering: if you treat her better, can she become pleasing to the eye?
That's all Shujia can do.Even when Hongxi was young, because Li Jia had to take care of Hongyang, Shujia took care of Gu Hongxi more, and Hongxi was willing to be closer to his first mother.There is only so much a mother can say about her own son's marital problems.
The rest depends on fate.The princess is about to start participating in the activities of the grandson's wife selection.
