Chapter 314: Waves (Subscription Requested)
Soon, Lian Er stubbornly told the lord of the meaning of the Nan'an County Palace, which caused the prince of Nan'an County to be furious and almost broke out on the spot, and Yingchun's marriage fell smoothly.
The relationship between the eldest lord and the Nan'an County Mansion is very stiff, and there is almost a big fight, which has become the biggest news in the elite circle of the capital in recent times.
Because of this, the magnates in the capital paid more attention to the girls in Rongguo Mansion.
Unexpectedly, I saw that the girls in Rongguo Mansion were not simple, including the girls from relatives' families, who were quite good.
Tanchun's cool and concubine status are very suitable for the concubines of the big family who have some ability.
Not every family is as desperate as Rongguo Mansion is trying to suppress the children, no matter how it is said that it is the continuation of the family bloodline, if it is possible, it is also very beneficial to the family.
Especially some families with deep backgrounds, they also attach great importance to concubines, at least in terms of loyalty, they are always stronger than outsiders, and the affairs of many families are taken care of by the children of the concubines, and they are powerful assistants of the lineage.
Otherwise, if the children of the lineage have the opportunity to make a name for themselves in the officialdom, how can they rest assured that they will leave home to become officials, and no one will dare to easily hand over the family business to a group of housekeepers and outsiders, right?
Xue Baochai is also extraordinary, he can support the Xue family at a young age, and this kind of ability is quite rare to put in the family of the powerful, which is very suitable for the second son or the concubine with a great future.
In addition, the Xue family is wealthy, which can help the husband's family quickly accumulate strong wealth and have no worries about life.
These are nothing for a big family, but they are a great help for the second son and concubine who can't inherit much family property.
The only daughter of the eldest lord, Yingchun, although she has practiced martial arts, but she has a gentle temperament, and I heard that she is very good at playing chess, and she is obviously a well-planned existence.
They are not stupid, after knowing Yingchun's temperament through side knocks, the idea of getting married that had been extinguished before began to move again.
Yingchun is a concubine, but she can't stand the power of the eldest lord, I didn't see that even the king of Nan'an County wants the prince to combine with him, and the magnates next to him naturally have the intention of befriending the eldest lord and even forming an alliance.
The eldest lord and Lin Ruhai are another example in the court, they do not form a party and do not engage in personal interests, but the resources and power in their hands are feared by others, and they are a very unique political force.
As long as you can marry Yingchun home, and spread the importance of the eldest lord's family affection to the outside world, not to mention that you can form an alliance with the eldest lord, at least you can pull the relationship to the point of being extremely close.
Even if you don't talk about the benefits of officialdom, the money and projects in the hands of the Ministry of Engineering alone, if you leak a little bit and manipulate it for the children of the family, you can earn the silver of the court openly.
There is also a young lady of the Lin family, Lin Daiyu, who is a talented girl who is famous in the capital at a young age, and Lin Ruhai is from Tanhualang, which is very in line with the criteria for choosing a wife of the scholarly family.
Even Xichun, who is still young, has a somewhat cold temperament but is a standard beauty, and with the recent prosperity of Ning Rong's second mansion, there are also some families who are eyeing her.
In the following days, Mrs. Wang was a little confused, she suddenly received a lot of posts, all of which were invitations from the wives of powerful families in Beijing, inviting her to participate in the gathering of Mrs. Jingzhong's circle, and at the same time pointed out that she wanted to bring Tanchun and Xue Baochai over, the meaning was self-evident.
This made Mrs. Wang quite dissatisfied, she wanted to squeeze out the last trace of benefits of Tanchun, how could she let her appear in the social circle of the noble ladies in the capital at this time?
As for Xue Baochai, it was a person in the pre-booked Baoyu room, how could someone else rob it?
So, Mrs. Wang directly turned a blind eye and didn't go to any party herself, anyway, it was a shame to go outside with her fateful identity, so she was not willing to go to embarrass people.
In this way, Tanchun and Xue Baochai naturally couldn't appear in the circle of noble ladies in the capital.
Those who know the inside story are very disdainful of Mrs. Wang's petty performance, and at the same time, it is a pity that Tanchun and Xue Baochai want to get ahead, but it is difficult and difficult.
I don't know the inside story, my perception of Rongguo Mansion is suddenly quite bad, such a normally invited lady party, not to mention all of them, at least one or two have to participate, right?
But Mrs. Wang did a great job, and she didn't pay attention to it at all, as if there was no such thing at all.
The old lady didn't say much after she found out, how she was on weekdays and what she is now, as if Tanchun and Xue Baochai's future had nothing to do with her, and it really didn't matter.
It's just that the two girls, Tanchun and Xue Baochai, are uncomfortable.
Tanchun has been messing around in front of Mrs. Wang for many years, and although she was in a very unhappy mood after hearing the news, she was still able to maintain a calm appearance, and her behavior was no different from usual, so that Mrs. Wang, who wanted to provoke a thorn, also picked out a good one.
Xue Baochai couldn't bear it, Mrs. Wang's behavior was simply ruining her future.
She is older than Yingchun, and Yingchun has already passed her, so she will naturally be no exception, but because she lives in Rongguo Mansion, she has not even done a normal ceremony, and at this time I heard that Mrs. Wang is not willing to take her out to socialize, and the mood is depressed can be imagined.
"Mother, my aunt's side is unreliable, we must attach ourselves to the big house!"
He could still force a smile outside, but after returning to Lixiang Courtyard, his face completely collapsed, and when he saw Aunt Xue, he spoke directly: "Otherwise, if there is anything good in the future, it will not be our turn at all?" ”
"My son, I'm sorry for you!"
Aunt Xue looked helpless, Mrs. Wang did go too far this time.
Even she heard the news, because of the Spring Festival, the girls in the house, and the young ladies of the relatives were favored by the powerful ladies in Beijing, at this time, as long as they behaved well in communication, they could not become the target of the powerful families in Beijing to choose daughters-in-law.
But Mrs. Wang came and ignored it, obviously ruining the great opportunity between Tanchun and Xue Baochai.
Aunt Xue was also very angry when she first heard it, but people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and their Xue family still had to rely on Rongguo Mansion to survive, otherwise they would have turned their faces with Mrs. Wang a long time ago.
Fortunately, it is not Mrs. Wang who is in charge of Rongguo Mansion, but Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng also received a lot of invitations, but she didn't mean to cheat people, she went to all the parties she could, and by the way, she also invited Tanchun and Xue Baochai to go together.
Although the noble ladies who invited Wang Xifeng were not of a very high level, and most of them were families of third- and fourth-grade officials, it was still a rare opportunity for the Xue family.
It's just a pity that Wang Xifeng is too busy with affairs on weekdays, so he can't spare much time at all, and there are very few parties he can attend, and there are very few opportunities for Tanchun and Xue Baochai to show their faces.
Tanchun is the most pitiful, because it depends on Mrs. Wang's eyes, Wang Xifeng can only go once when he is invited three times, and it is basically abolished.
Xue Baochai really felt that this was a good breakthrough, and Mrs. Wang's performance made her too disappointed.
"Mother, we have invested too much money and resources in our aunt, and we can't see any benefits at all!"
In front of Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai finally said his psychological words: "It's better to put more resources into my cousin, at least my cousin can still listen to it!" ”
"I'm afraid it's not good!"
Aunt Xue was a little hesitant and said with a wry smile: "If your aunt notices, we will be embarrassed!" ”
"Come quietly, and tell my aunt that there is a problem with the family's money!"
Xue Baochai said confidently: "Anyway, my cousin is not a talkative person, let's give more benefits, with her and her cousin-in-law's temperament, at least I will take care of my eldest brother and our Xue family!" ”
The most important thing is that Wang Xifeng and Lian Er and his wife can contact the eldest master, as long as she is given the opportunity to get in touch with Yingchun who is in another courtyard, if this is the case, it will not be difficult to go out to participate in the communication of the noble lady in Beijing in the future.
The majesty of the eldest lord, how can Xue Baochai, the internal housekeeper who secretly holds the power of the Xue family, not know?
"Okay, let's try!"
Aunt Xue nodded and said with a wry smile: "If it really doesn't work, it's not too late for us to continue to stare at the few promising reading seeds next to the Jia family!" ”
Xue Baochai's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head and went back to the room without saying anything more.
Not to mention the turmoil in Rongguo's mansion, Jia Min and Mrs. Xing have been quite busy recently, taking Yingchun and Daiyu out of the country from time to time, and they reacted to what was going on within two days.
Jia Min reacted immediately and reduced the number of times she took Daiyu out, Daiyu was still young, and she and her husband Lin Ruhai planned to stay for a few more years.
Mrs. Xing didn't dare to make a mistake, and reported to the eldest master as soon as she noticed the situation.
"Don't pay attention to these things, Yingchun is not in a hurry to get married!"
The eldest lord was very impatient, and he didn't have much interest in these inner house affairs, and he wasn't even interested in paying attention to the sudden news of the Spring Festival martial arts practice on the street before.
At this time, his attention was attracted by the dull atmosphere in the court.
Three years have passed, and today's strength has become much stronger, this is the benefit of the name, the original Prince of Zhongshun let the lord and the disappearance, and most of the benefits have been taken today.
The strength of King Yizhong in the court is still the same, there is no growth and no regression, and there are some signs of difficulty in the face of the increasingly powerful today.
The most important thing is that the Emperor Taishang is old and mentally weak, and he can involve less and less energy today, so that he can free up his hands to target the ministers under the King of Yizhong County.
No, in the past three years, several officials of the third grade or above have had problems, and they have either been caught and imprisoned or directly forced to resign and return home.
It was also when the marriage of Yingchun was in an uproar, and now in the court, he suddenly launched a frontal offensive against the king of Yizhong, and took out a lot of wrong things that the king of Yizhong had done as a handle, and reprimanded the king of Yizhong in front of hundreds of officials in the court, and even asked the king of Yizhong to think about it behind closed doors!
This kind of thing is not simple, and the entire court shook all at once!
