Chapter 142, Princess Wen Xian
In the thirty-ninth year of Kangxi, a lot of things happened, Concubine Tong, concubines, and concubines were canonized in Layue, and Princess Wenxian was also officially married by the emperor.
This is also a rare benefit for the princesses of the Qing Dynasty, they have their own special princess mansion to live in, and they do not need to live in the attached family as a younger daughter-in-law. - Of course, only the princess who stays in Beijing to marry has the treatment of opening a mansion, if it is Fumeng, there will be no mansion, but it will add a little money.
If you stay in Beijing, Princess Gulun will earn 400 taels and 400 rice per year, and Princess Heshuo will earn 300 taels and 300 rice.
If she marries a feudal clan, Princess Gulun will pay 1,000 taels of silver and 30 forged plates, and Princess Heshuo will marry a foreign feudal lord with 400 taels of silver and 15 forged horses.
Although the latter's "salary" is a little more, no princess is willing to marry thousands of miles for this.
In this era, only the princess who stays in Beijing to marry can have her own separate property.
In fact, Lin Xianyu is quite envious of Wen Xian, although she was born in this patriarchal era, marrying the grandchildren of the Tong family may not be a good marriage, but as long as she is tougher and is in the capital, who would dare to bully her?
But it's a pity that Wen Xian has been soft and glutinous since he was a child, and the palace teaches the grandmother to teach the princess to follow three virtues and four virtues.
Therefore, this marriage is destined not to be too happy.
Princess Wen Xian's marriage is in full swing, and the fourth master, as the elder brother, often finds time to check the construction status of the princess's mansion and the preparation of the princess's dowry, and even quietly intervenes in the selection of the bride's wife - at this point, Lin Xianyu walked through the back door of Concubine Shuhui, and Concubine Shuhui went to ask the queen mother to be the master.
As the grandmother of the princess, the queen mother gave the princess to marry her mother, which is naturally justified, but the first few princesses and queen mother didn't care much. If it weren't for her sister's begging, the Queen Mother would still not care.
In this regard, it can be regarded as an honor for Wen Xian, but Concubine De must be unhappy in her heart.
However, anyway, Concubine De has long been unpleasant to see her and the fourth master, and it is not itchy if there are many lice, Lin Xianyu doesn't care.
Everything is being prepared in an orderly manner, and in the thirty-ninth year of Kangxi, Princess Wen Xian officially married.
Lin Xianyu was finally able to relax for a few days, salted fish and cats in winter.
In a blink of an eye, it has been forty years since Kangxi, and after Princess Wen Xian got married, there was no big problem with the relationship with the forehead, except for being a little cold.
Wen Xian attached Shun An Yan and did not often go to the princess's mansion to ask for peace, and Lin Xianyu was not surprised by this.
According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, the identity of the princess is higher than the forehead, if the husband and wife want to have the same room, they need to go to the princess's mansion to "ask for peace", although the princess can also "summon" the forehead, but no princess dares to take the initiative so much!
The spring of Kangxi's forty years was warmer very late, and there was a light snow in February.
Lin Xianyu took Hongyu to Princess Wen Xian's mansion, and heard that Wen Xian had been unwell recently, Lin Xianyu was really worried.
Wen Xian's age is actually not young, and she is considered to be a late marriage in this era, although she is not yet twenty years old.
At this time, Wen Xian was a little in good spirits, she was wearing a mink cloak on her body, and forced out a smile, "I'm worried about the fourth sister-in-law, I just coughed a few times, it's not a big deal." β
Lin Xianyu sat on the chair next to him and couldn't help asking, "But is it because of the forehead?" β
Wen Xian was silent for a moment, and then her eyes turned red, and she suddenly grabbed Lin Xianyu's hand: "Fourth sister-in-law, can you teach me?" You have been in love with the fourth brother for many years, how did you make the fourth brother love you so much? β
What girl doesn't have a spring? What's more, this Shun Anyan is very good regardless of his family background, talent and appearance.
Lin Xianyu said: "The fourth master treats me well, not because of what I have done, but because your fourth brother has a noble character, so he loves me as a wife." In fact, the fourth master is like glue with her, one is that he values etiquette and wants to have a son-in-law, the second is because the family of the Wulanala family can be of great help to the fourth master, and the third is because he appreciates her talent and temperament. This third point is precisely the least important. So even if she has no children, she is still in a stable position.
Wen Xian was stunned, and immediately lowered his head, "Yes, although the fourth brother is serious, he is very good." β
Lin Xianyu asked in a low voice, "Is Shun Anyan bad for you?" β
Wen Xian hurriedly shook his head: "Efu is very respectful to me, but it's just ...... Maybe he was too busy, so ......" Wen Xian bit his lip and didn't say much, but the meaning was obvious enough.
Of course, Shun Anyan didn't dare to disrespect the princess, but just treated Wen Xian coldly.
Although Wen Xian is a princess, in terms of appearance, she is even slightly inferior to her, her facial features can only be regarded as upright, and she has been raised by Concubine De since she was a child, and she has been accompanied by needlework since she was a child, and she has only read dross books such as women's training and other dross.
And how many creatures like men don't value their appearance? What's more, Wen Xian has no talent.
Lin Xianyu sighed, if he was just treated coldly and not harshly, the fourth master would really not be able to stand up and support his sister.
Lin Xianyu had to work hard to enlighten Wen Xian: "You are a princess, your status is noble, you can marry Shun Anyan, it is a great honor for him and their Tong family." Since they still respect you, then just treat each other politely, and don't be too earnest. It doesn't matter if he comes or not, you are a golden princess! Whether he has him or not, it doesn't have much impact on your identity and status. β
Hearing this, Wen Xian couldn't help but be taken aback, "Fourth sister-in-law...... What do you mean, what do you mean? β
Lin Xianyu patted Wen Xian's slender shoulder: "I mean, you have to straighten your waist and live!" It's completely possible to act as if he doesn't have this forehead! β
Wen Xian was stunned, her eyes widened, and she even stammered a little, "IβHow can I be if he doesn't exist?" Heβhe's the one who Khan Ama gave him a marriage! β
Lin Xianyu held his forehead, "I'm asking you not to care too much about him!" When you are alive, it is important to live happily. β
Hearing this, Wen Xian whispered: "However, E-Niang asked me to teach my husband and children well...... also let me take care of the forehead, and help the fourteenth brother in the future. β
Hearing this, Lin Xianyu's face instantly darkened, she thought that Concubine De did not dare to disobey the emperor, and it was better to consider marrying into the Tong family than Fumeng, so she did not object to this marriage, but she didn't expect Concubine De to make this calculation!
Lin Xianyu said angrily: "You are a princess and a master!" Where is the reason why the master is inferior and the slave is entrapped?! β
Wen Xian hurriedly covered Lin Xianyu's mouth, "Fourth sister-in-law, how can it be good if people hear this?" β
Fortunately, after Lin Xianyu came in, Wen Xian was sent back, Wen Xian originally wanted to ask the fourth sister-in-law for advice on how to win her husband's love, but she didn't expect to ask for these amazing "teachings"!
Lin Xianyu said lightly: "Where did I say something wrong?" The emperor is the master, and the Manmeng and Han Eight Banners are all his minions! You are the emperor's daughter again! Even if it's a forehead, it's just your minion! β
Wen Xian was stunned: "Having said that, the Tong family is the mother family of Khan Ama, and there have been two queens. β
Lin Xianyu snorted: "So what?!" Is it more noble than you, a princess? β
Wen Xian was silent again, "I understand what the fourth sister-in-law means, you are telling me not to live such a small family, let me be tougher." β
"Hmm...... Pretty much. Lin Xianyu nodded, "If you live, you must first make yourself happy, and others and everything else are secondary." She would prefer Wen Xian to live a little selfishly.
Wen Xian smiled, "Thank you for your enlightenment." β
Seeing her eyebrows stretched, although she didn't necessarily listen to it, it should still have some effect.
Lin Xianyu patted the back of her hand, "Don't stuff yourself in the princess's mansion alone in the future, you have to come out and walk around from time to time." β
Saying that, Lin Xianyu smiled and made an invitation: "By the way, in a few days, when the weather is warm, I will take you to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing to relax, okay?" β
Although Wen Xian felt that it was not good for a married princess to run outside, she was still a little moved when she thought about the scenery outside, so she nodded and said softly: "Everything is up to the fourth sister-in-law." β
Lin Xianyu couldn't help but feel powerless when he looked at her soft bag appearance, "Don't listen to me for everything, ask your heart in everything, don't always wronged yourself in everything!" Whatever you want, you can do it yourself! If you can't act rashly, wouldn't you be too aggrieved as a princess? β
Wen Xian couldn't help but smile: "Compared to Fumeng's sisters, I'm already very lucky. β
Wen Xian hurriedly held Lin Xianyu's hand, his eyes were soft: "Since I got married, I was always so worried about the fourth sister-in-law, it was mine." Life is not as good as it should be, because I am too sentimental. I'll look at it later. β
Lin Xianyu, I didn't let you be generous, virtuous and tolerant! I'm making you scorn your forehead!!
Lin Xianyu sweats heavily, but Wen Xian can relax his mind, which is better than being depressed.
