Chapter 153: Look at the joke
Chen Wenhui asked her mother: "Mother, when I enter the palace to meet me, will my mother go too?" "Speaking of which, this aunt, Chen Wenhui has also met several times, but every time it is when many people are together, such as palace banquets, auctions, and charity donations. It's really never been like this to go to the audience alone. However, in my impression, my mother often goes to see her, and compared with the younger brother and daughter-in-law of the two relatives, the imperial concubine obviously prefers the third brother and daughter-in-law of the concubine.
Bai smiled and said: "Of course I also went over together, don't worry, your eldest aunt is a very kind person, and besides, it is your own aunt, don't be afraid." ”
Chen Wenhui smiled slightly and said: "I'm not afraid, I just feel that there are many etiquettes and I am panicked." However, when I went to the palace before, I went to the banquet, and I didn't visit my aunt's Zhongcui Palace, and I heard that it was very good, so I just took this opportunity to visit the palace and the place where my aunt lived. ”
Bai Shi smiled and said, "The Zhong Cui Palace where your eldest aunt lives is ranked more than the top three places in the entire palace. The best in this palace is naturally the sleeping palace where the emperor lives, but this is generally not an inner palace. The inner palace refers to the residence of the harem concubines. The best rear palace pavilion is, of course, the Fengyi Palace, where the empress lives. This is where the former queen of the deposed queen lived. Originally, the queen's bedroom was very gorgeous, and the queen was even more extravagant, controlling the harem for many years, and building her Fengyi Palace magnificently and beautifully. Secondly, let's count Zhong Cui Palace. Zhongcui Palace is a large place, and has its own courtyard, fish pond, flower trees, and rockery. Your eldest aunt is an elegant character, who has been operating in Zhongcui Palace for many years, and dresses Zhongcui Palace very elegantly, full of rare flowers and plants, which makes people forget their worries. The third is the Jiuhua Hall where the concubine lives now. The Jiuhua Palace is relatively tall, but the place is smaller than the Zhongcui Palace. The concubine Niangniang also lived there for many years, and she was deeply favored by the emperor, so she naturally built a palace magnificently. But. Because of her low background, this vision is really not flattering. It's just that I know that I blindly pull those gold and silver utensils and treasures into the dormitory, making it look like a nouveau riche, so I can only rank third. ”
Chen Wenhui asked: "In that case, Fengyi Palace, isn't it empty now?" If the eldest aunt can really become a queen in the future, doesn't she want to move to Fengyi Palace to live? Isn't this such a good place as Zhongcui Palace going to be empty? ”
Bai smiled and said, "Do you think your eldest aunt didn't think of this?" If only there was that day. Your eldest aunt will definitely go to live in Fengyi Palace, that is her dream for many years. Fengyi Palace is a symbol of status, and besides, it is more magnificent than Zhongcui Palace. As for Zhong Cui Palace, such a good place will not be idle, it must be reserved for Wenhua or Wenjuan, right? ”
Chen Wenhui knew it in her heart. The imperial concubine is already old, although the maintenance is good, after all, she can no longer attract the emperor by her beauty, so if you want to tie the emperor's heart, you need the help of the two young and beautiful nieces in the palace. This is used by others. can't be stingy, always give people a higher position, a better palace. In this way, people can work together to help her sit on the throne of the queen. Speaking of which, my eldest aunt has always been a smart person.
Chen Wenhui thought of this and asked, "Mother, didn't you go back to the mansion with your father a few days ago?" How are the two families of the eldest uncle and the second uncle? ”
Bai said: "Your eldest uncle's family is very good now. Although your eldest uncle still has many concubines, he is now beginning to respect your eldest aunt, so those concubines do not dare to be disrespectful to the eldest mother. The housework at home is not taken care of by your aunt, and it is all handed over to your cousin-in-law. Your cousin-in-law is a shrewd and capable person, and she manages the family well. It is said that this situation makes Princess Jin and your lobby sister very satisfied. Your second uncle's family is not so good. Aunt Sun's two daughters both entered the palace as concubines. His Chinese Hua also became a concubine, which is not low. It's higher than the position of Mrs. Hou Shizi of Jinxiang. Moreover, they are the mothers of the inner palace. It's already taller than us foreign women. At this moment, Aunt Sun's tail is not up to the sky. A person as powerful as your second aunt can't be restrained. She is the biological mother of the mother in the palace, so it's not good to beat and scold at will like before, how can she control it? This is already a headache for your second aunt, your third cousin Wen Jin is not angry, she has a conflict with her husband at both ends in three days, and she goes back to her parents' house at two ends in three days, and your second aunt is not good, I heard that Wen Jin must be reconciled this time. When I went, I was still living at my mother's house. I also saw it, my face was yellow, and I looked very haggard. ”
Chen Wenhui was surprised: "Okay, why do you want to leave?" ”
Bai said: "Hey, I can't complain about Wen Jin, they are all the sons of Jinxiang, the wife has not given birth yet, and she is young, and she can't wait, how can she let the concubine give birth to a concubine first?" ”
Chen Wenhui was taken aback: "What? The concubine has already given birth? This is not a meal, it will be eaten in a while. This birth is ten months pregnant, is it possible that Sister Wen Jin is unconscious at all, and she has no means at all, how can she let the concubine give birth to a child? ”
Bai Shi glanced at his daughter and said, "You know everything?" I don't even know where you learned this. Are these words asked by the girl's family? ”
Chen Wenhui hugged her mother's arm and said, "Oh, didn't I just talk to my mother? In front of outsiders, I'm still a lady. It's also shy, and it's going to cover your ears. Tell me, I'm curious. ”
Bai glanced at his daughter weakly and said, "Oh, you little monkey, I can't say anything about you." But I'm so curious. However, I think it's good for girls to know these things in advance, if they don't understand the private things inside the house, they will be greatly wronged when they come to their in-laws' house in the future. Wen Jin suffers a loss and suffers a loss in his mother, who is too powerful, manages the family well, she doesn't have to worry about it, people are stupid, I don't understand this, I just know that he is arrogant, and he runs back to his mother's house when he is angry, this time he has gone back to his mother's house many times, and there is still a lack of women around the son? Naturally, it is a favorite concubine, a maid, and a big push for the room, and it is not surprising that there is a pregnant one. Generally, when the housewife finds out about this kind of thing, she will use means to get rid of it. However, Wen Jin is good, he didn't think about the housekeeper at all, just living in his mother's house, and when the little concubine's belly was big, he didn't know that the child was born, and he knew that it was too late. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Sister Wenjin doesn't go home often and lives in her mother's house, so I don't know that the concubine is pregnant, but her mother-in-law manages the entire Hou Mansion, what can she not know?" How can you allow a concubine to be a gentleman? ”
Bai Shi frowned and said, "Yes, so, your grandfather and grandmother are not happy about this matter, is this obviously her mother-in-law deliberate?" The daughters of our Chen family, they treat them like this, can we be willing? I have to ask for an explanation for the sake of face. Now, your eldest uncle, second uncle, and elder brother have all been ordered by your grandfather to go to Jinxianghou for negotiations. Our Chen family was originally a big family, and its status was much higher than that of the little Jinxianghou. In addition, now, the person with the highest status in the palace and the person in charge of palace affairs, the imperial concubine, your eldest aunt, this Chen family is naturally the first among the four major families. Can they not think about one or two things? ”
Chen Wenhui frowned and asked, "Then what does the Jinxiang Houfu think?" The child has been born, do you want to strangle the child to death? ”
Bai said: "That is definitely impossible. Big families, like Jin Xianghou, like our family, all think that people are more important than silver and power. Therefore, even if it is a concubine, it is impossible for them to give up. It seems to say that it is necessary to send this mother and son to Zhuangzi to be raised, when, your third sister gave birth to a son-in-law, and when can this concubine come back. ”
Chen Wenhui asked: "Then what if the third sister never gave birth to a son-in-law?" ”
Bai said: "If your third sister has not given birth to a child at the age of thirty, or has not given birth to a son, she will let the concubine start to give birth, for example, in your second uncle's house, your second aunt has never given birth to a son, and when she is older, there is no way, so she let her personal maid be a concubine, and gave birth to Wen Hao as a concubine in the name of your second aunt, so that you can be regarded as having a descendant." If your third sister never gave birth to a son, when the time comes, the mother and son will be welcomed back, and the child will be recorded in your third sister's name and raised as a son-in-law. ”
Chen Wenhui nodded and said: "Well, in that case, the people on the Zhuangzi don't dare to be disrespectful to the little master, in case one day, the little master goes back and becomes a concubine, but he will inherit the title of Jinxiang Hou, that is the master of the entire Hou Mansion." ”
Bai said: "Yes, but your third sister can't be as arrogant and domineering as before in the future, because her in-laws already have someone in her family who can threaten her." Hey, so, your second aunt is also a lot haggard, and she is embarrassed both internally and externally. ”
Chen Wenhui pouted and said: "Hmph, she deserves it, she is the worst, but the enemy of our family is here, and we are worthy of her if we don't fall into the well." ”
Bai said: "Hey, do you think I don't want to fall into the well? However, after all, your second uncle is your father's own brother, the same father is not the same mother, that is to break the bones and tendons, we are beating rats and jade bottles. Anyway, God is cleaning her up now. Our days are getting better and better, and her days are burnt out, hmph, this is retribution. When the daughter-in-law comes in the future, maybe it won't be easy to deal with, and when the time comes, your second aunt's life will be even more difficult. Hmph, I'll just look at the jokes. ”
Chen Wenhui giggled. (To be continued)
