Chapter 15: The Main Room
Queen Yelu Feiyan was pregnant for eight months in advance, dystocia, and when she was dying, the emperor enabled a folk acupuncture master recommended by the Dingguo Mansion to deliver the queen, and after two days and two nights, the queen gave birth to a baby boy of less than four catties, the third son of the emperor today, whose name is Xin.
Shui Hanwu breathed a sigh of relief at this, a sister-in-law of her family was engaged before, the man's mother died and kept filial piety for three years, and finally three years passed, if the queen has three long and two short, she has to keep the country's filial piety, the sister-in-law is eighteen years old this year, and if she doesn't marry, she will become an old girl, and there is an old girl in the Duke of Wei's mansion, which has a bad reputation.
When Shui Hanwu told Hanxiao about this, Hanxiao listened silently and smiled shallowly.
It turns out that the world does not revolve around Yelu Feiyan, only those who care about her will revolve around her;
With a smile, he believes that Xiao Di, Hou of Zhenbei, is one of the people who revolves around Yelu Feiyan;
Or maybe it was because she already knew about it before, and she didn't feel sad in her heart, but just considered: "What if it's ten months pregnant?" Su Niang has always been quite interesting, and her identity and origin are very suitable, so she will be promoted to a room first, and then she will be promoted to an aunt after having a child. As for the concubine, you have to find someone who is innocent and talented. ’
When the winter snow first melted, Hanxiao set up two tables of wine banquets in the house, opened Su Niang's face, combed her hair, and lifted her into a big maid in the room;
Xiao Di didn't agree with this, but asked Xiao Di with a smile: "If Hou Ye is unwilling, then please ask Hou Ye to show Su Niang a clear way, what will Su Niang do in the future? Who will she marry if she marries? Can she find a good family when she goes out with such personal service? If she doesn't marry, she will be delayed as an old girl like this, and she will have no one to rely on?"
Xiao Di was speechless for a moment. Su Niang was rewarded by the queen to serve him, wouldn't it be against the queen's original intention to marry out; if you stay in the house and give the little maid to the housekeeper, it is disrespectful to the queen; you can only accept the house, and if you can give birth to a son and a half daughter, you can also be regarded as having a dependence. Xiao Di thought for a long time, and finally nodded silently.
This is all expected with a smile, but a touch of irony inevitably rises in my heart.
The next day after opening her face, Su Niang was shy but respectfully gave the tea to the master mother with a smile, and took the tea with a smile, and rewarded a hairpin with sterling silver and a ring with pearls, which was regarded as a clear road for Su Niang. After seeing Hanwu, who was smiling, he rewarded Su Niang with a silver bracelet, turned his head and asked Hanxiao: "Why do you suddenly want to lift the room?" ”
Xiaoxiao explained: "I had this plan when I first got married, and now the time is right. "Please also ask Hanwu to help those women from good families with innocent family backgrounds, and prepare to give Xiao Dina a concubine room.
It is very common for the princess's family to marry a concubine, Hanwu agreed without thinking too much, and discussed with Hanxiao that it was right to entrust this matter to the eldest and young grandmother of the Mu family.
When Han Xiao heard this, he asked Han Wu to invite the young grandmother of the Mu family, Han Xiao is not in good health now to go out to visit, where is the friendship between Han Wu and the young grandmother of the Mu family?
Hanwu also understands this truth and accepts it as a matter of course.
Then he talked about the sister-in-law's family, "My sister-in-law is the sister of the son, separated by a room, and has a general relationship with the son, but her brother has a very good relationship with the son, and has helped the son a lot." ”
"That sister must make this girl's marriage lively. He smiled and said with a smile.
"Yes, the prince also told me so, even if it is for the sake of the face of the clan brother, it is better to marry my sister-in-law in a beautiful manner. I estimate that their house is not very rich, so I simply let the sedan chair be carried out of the Guogong Mansion, so that the in-laws know that the sister-in-law has the support of the Wei Guogong Mansion behind her, plus the other party has been filial piety for three years, and the sister-in-law has been waiting for him, which can be regarded as affectionate and righteous, and they dare not snub the sister-in-law no matter what. He told his plans in a foggy way.
He turned over lazily with a smile and said, "This bride has a good character, isn't it?"
"How do you know. Foggy rhetorical question. It's impossible for Xiaoxiao to know her sister-in-law!
"Look at how meticulous my sister is planning for her! If it's just because of my brother-in-law's advice, my sister is too attentive. My sister must like this sister-in-law very much. Said with a smile in a lazy tone.
Misty thought about it, and it was. "That's right. ”
He also explained: "There are many brothers and sisters in the family, and even a few brothers and sisters, but there are only two or three that can make me look at them, of course, I have to be careful." Besides, these are all relatives of the prince! They are also their own people, and they will not be cheap to outsiders if they are treated better; and they have also given the prince a long face in the clan; and it doesn't cost much, so why don't I do it! It's better than cheapening the delicate aunt. ”
smiled and was happy, "Sister, this is also very calculating! Brother-in-law is really blessed." ”
Hanwu's cheeks were crimson by the smile, and he raised his hand to twist the smile's nose: "Little promotion ghost." ”
Xiaoxiao had difficulty moving, and quickly raised his hand to surrender: "I was wrong, sister." ”
Hanwu himself couldn't help laughing, and when he saw Hanxiao sit down again, he smiled and said: "The happy day has been set, it is the time when the spring flowers are blooming, your body is inconvenient, and you don't have to go over then, but remember to send the gift!"
"Okay, sister, this is a calculating sister's thing, what kind of drug did my brother-in-law give you!" he complained with a smile.
Hanwu glanced at Hanmi, "What about me, I think Zhenbei Hou is really blessed to marry his sister! Don't worry about anything, my sister will help him take care of it clearly." ”
With a smile on his face, he said slightly: "My sister's situation is different, there is nothing messy in my house, that is, Xiao Di marries a simple and ignorant person, and the house is the same." ”
Hanwu knew the specific situation of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and she also thought that what Hanxiao said was the truth, but she would never admit to her face that she made her sister unhappy. simply said: "My sister is like this, even if she is wearing a lantern, it is difficult to find, so Zhenbei Hou will secretly have fun in the middle of the night!"
Changed the subject again: "Speaking of which, didn't my sister ask me to contact my aunt and grandmother some time ago? I took advantage of the winter solstice to send a lot of gifts, guess what?"
With a smile, he looked at the expression of joy hidden in the mystery of Hanwu, guessed that it was a good thing, and joked: "What's the matter! Mrs. Qiao doesn't accept it, how can it be?"
"What do you say?" Hanwu glared at Hanxiao, but his expression was bright, without a bit of deterrence, and he looked at it with a smile. "It turns out that the prince and his aunt have always been in contact, and the year before last, when my uncle took the imperial examination, it was the prince who helped to move around the capital, asking about the examiner's temperament and preferences. It's just that I was afraid that my mother-in-law would not like it, so I hid this matter. ”
"When I saw my housekeeper this year, I remembered to give my aunt a New Year's gift, and the prince secretly told me about it, and told me that I must not reveal the news in front of my mother-in-law, lest my mother-in-law know that she doesn't like it, and then my mother-in-law will definitely be reluctant to blame her son, and the responsibility must be on me, and I can't bear to find a fault or something. Hanwu said that Shizi was considerate to her, and her spirit was bright, and the whole person seemed to be happy.
With a smile, she looked at Hanwu's sweet and happy expression, and couldn't help but be happy for her in her heart. In this era, if a wife can be loved and respected by her husband, things will be much smoother, and people will not dare to neglect it.
"It seems that my brother-in-law is an understanding person and knows that my sister-in-law is closely related to him. ”
Hanwu didn't think of this when he thought of himself before, but he still smiled and reminded him to understand, not only a little ashamed.
Hanxiao saw that Hanwu's face was different, and knew that Hanwu was embarrassed, so he said: "I don't actually know it, but my brother once told me this." After my mother died, my father continued to give birth to a son and a daughter, originally I didn't like them, when my brother enlightened me and said, 'They are always my father's descendants, in the eyes of outsiders, we are all a family, if the family does not get along well, then this family will be over.' That's when I really saw them as younger siblings. He added: "They men are walking outside, and it is not difficult to see this clearly, but we women are trapped in the inner house, and it is also appropriate to see clearly, and my sister doesn't need to mind." ”
Hanwu thought about it too, and then he was relieved.
Xiaoxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, praised himself in his heart for his timely response, and praised himself. Only then did he say: "That sister is now recognized by her brother-in-law, the husband and wife are discussed, and they have both children and daughters, and they will definitely be prosperous in the future." Don't worry about the sisters of the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, the more you care about them, the more they will jump, and if you ignore them, they will slowly die. ”
Misty savored the meaning of Han's joke, a little surprised, and confirmed, "You mean to ignore them?"
"Yes! Brother-in-law's attitude towards other cousins is the same attitude towards that person. My sister is the same, what she treats other aunts is like to that Aunt Jiang. It's best to persuade your mother-in-law to do the same. He said with a smile.
"But their mother and son are different!"
"What's the difference?" asked with a smile.
"That aunt was of noble birth. ”
"No matter how noble she is, she is also an aunt, and she can't get past the main room; Just like the sister-in-law you are going to marry, if you don't have your lift, without your support behind her back, what is she noble?"
"Are you saying that the Chen Guogong Mansion supports her to seize power!" Hanwu thought about it, and said with a smile that made sense, if there was no prince and himself who had the heart to raise it, it would really be nothing to the brother and sister. But the prince promoted their brothers and sisters to win the hearts of the people, so what was the reason for the Chen Guogong Mansion to promote Aunt Jiang? It was not because she gave birth to a son and won the favor of her father-in-law, and wanted to go one step closer, if it succeeded, Chen Guogong's Mansion would be the foreign family of the Wei Guogong's Mansion, and the relationship was much closer than the current one. The favor of the Chen Guogong Mansion has been declining in recent years, and if there are any outstanding talents, it is estimated that it will slowly decline if it continues like this! Otherwise, how could they send the girls in the clan to be concubines.
After thinking about this, the water fog suddenly became clear.
It is true that Aunt Jiang has the support of Chen Guogong's Mansion, but if her father-in-law wants to marry Chen Guogong's Mansion, there are many opportunities, and it is impossible for her to marry in. Therefore, the father-in-law and the aunt are petted in the house, which should only be used to suppress the mother-in-law.
"But when I look at my father-in-law, I seem to really like their mother and son. Hanwu still had a little doubt in his heart, anyway, Hanxiao was smart and keen, so Hanwu took the opportunity to ask directly.
He shook his head with a smile: "Israel is just serving people, and no matter how much you pamper you, it is limited." It's good to wait until she is old and decrepit, and now she should be a pet, since your father-in-law likes it, then coax it. ”
"Get a pet!" Hanwu relieved the doubts in his heart, and his mood was relaxed. Hearing this, Jue's smile was both reasonable and interesting, and he couldn't help laughing.
"You're such a crampie!"
Hanwu expressed the doubts in his heart, and listened to Hanxiao's persuasion, and did not stay to eat in the evening, and left happily.
Hanxiao looked at Hanwu's figure that looked excited even when she walked, shook her head, and couldn't help laughing.
This sister is full of children, she is still a childish, and everything is shown on her face, it seems that her brother-in-law treats her sister really well.
-- This clan sister is as happy as the eldest sister, which is very good.
