Chapter 178: Trade-offs
However, it is said that he took Honghui to ask Concubine De to say goodbye, in fact, after this morning's playing, Honghui is stronger than ordinary children, but it is also not as good as adults, so before Yonghe Palace, Honghui has already fallen asleep in Ji Yingxin's arms.
Fortunately, Concubine De is not really a person who likes children very much, unlike the Queen Mother who has no children in her life, Concubine De is still favored in the palace, she has given birth to several sons and daughters in a row, and the youngest Yinzhen has just entered the study every two years, and the child is not very attractive to her.
If it weren't for Honghui being her grandson, and the only one among the three generations of grandchildren in the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that Concubine De would not be able to remember to see her, and now that she is asleep, there is nothing to regret.
"I heard that the right of the housekeeper in your house has been taken back by you, and now you are the housekeeper yourself, but is there such a thing?" The two chatted for a while, and suddenly, Concubine De spoke.
Hearing this, Ji Yingxin cheered up, glanced at Concubine De, and said: "Back to E-Niang's words, because Honghui was still young and difficult to take care of, the concubine had to take care of it herself, so she asked the Li family and Zhang Jia's family to help manage the big and small affairs of the house, but E-niang also knew that it was because the concubine was busy with Honghui's affairs that the Borzigit clan took advantage of the loophole and made such a big incident." “
"Now, the concubine can rest assured that she will let them take care of the house, or the concubine will start it herself, and it is appropriate to come."
Concubine De nodded in agreement when she heard this, "That's right, this housekeeper's power doesn't seem to be heavy, but in fact it involves all aspects, the backyard is unstable, and the fourth child will also be affected in the previous dynasty, this time, you also have to learn a lesson." “
"However, it's right to have more snacks, but you can't delay Honghui because of this, no matter how heavy the things in the house are, how can you compare with the fourth child, Honghui is still young, it is the time when you need a good upbringing, if it is for the housekeeper, Honghui is delayed, then it is called putting the cart before the horse."
"Originally, it was said that the Li family in your house was promoted to be a side blessing, but it turned out to be a failure, and the Borzigit clan harbored evil intentions and broke through such a catastrophe, so this palace thought, this year is the season of the draft, or I still want to ask Long Live Lord to point you to a high-born side Fujin, which can help you deal with the big and small matters in the house, which is the right thing, so that you can take time out and take care of Honghui more, what do you think?"
What did she think, Ji Yingxin was naturally unwilling, I saw the corners of her lips twitch, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and then she rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "E-niang is thinking about the house, and the concubine is grateful, but the things in the house are not complicated now, and the concubine is still busy, but it will not delay Honghui's upbringing." ”
"As for entering another side Fujin to help line the concubine body, the concubine body is naturally happy in her heart, but in this year's draft, the lord is selecting Fujin for several princes and elder brothers, the fifth brother, the seventh brother and even the eighth brother, it is time to marry a wife and start a family, the concubine is worried, this year's well-born noble girls have been picked away by Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi, and Cheng Concubine, it is not good to say that the inferior ones are not allowed to enter the house."
"Although those who can participate in the draft are all from good backgrounds, I am afraid that outsiders will not think so, and when the time comes, it will be forgotten if the fourth master is missing, I don't know, I still think that the brotherly relationship is a woman, and if it is spread out, it will inevitably look bad on the royal face."
"Moreover, the side Fujin entered the mansion, which is unusual, when the draft was held, it was the time when the Song family was producing, and the personnel were chaotic at that time, if it was bumped into it, it would be bad if there was any mistake, and the newcomer entered the mansion and encountered such things as soon as he entered the door, which was a little unlucky."
"Besides, although the Li family is not a weapon and the emperor is not strict, isn't there still Sister Zhang Jia? The concubine is now gradually idle, and after checking the account books and records in the past house, she found that Zhang Jia's sister is silent on weekdays, and she is not inconspicuous, but her skills under her hands are excellent. “
"So the concubine is thinking about handing over some unimportant things in the house to Sister Zhang Jia in a few days, with her help, I think about it, the affairs of the house should not need to be too much trouble for the concubine." After speaking, Ji Ying quietly glanced at Concubine De's reaction.
I saw that Concubine De's face was as usual, and she couldn't see anything unusual, but a trace of thought flashed in her eyes, Ji Yingxin was gambling, betting that Concubine De would make a choice between a side Fujin and her own people.
Ji Yingxin knew that in this era when the elders did not dare to resign, Concubine De, as Yinzhen's biological mother, insisted on giving Yinzhen a side blessing, unless Kangxi made a move, otherwise, even Yinzhen was not qualified to refuse.
It is impossible to let Kangxi make a move, then the only way to let Concubine De take back her life by herself is to give Concubine De the opportunity to control Yinzhen's backyard, the reason why Concubine De wants to stuff a side Fujin into Yinzhen's mansion is nothing more than that she thinks that the current Fourth Master's Mansion is Ji Yingxin's family.
Since getting rid of Wulan, the Song family and the Li family are all Ji Yingxin's people, although Zhang Jia's family is gradually favored now, it is difficult to stand alone and cannot compete with Ji Yingxin, so Concubine De has other thoughts.
But now, Ji Yingxin took the initiative to give up part of the rights of the housekeeper, once Zhang Jia's family participated in the housekeeper, he would be like the concubine of the assistant sixth palace in the harem, the identity was very different, and as long as there was an opportunity, he could be promoted to a side fortune.
Compared with stuffing a side Fujin who may not be able to control, and promoting one's own person to get the right to be a housekeeper, for Concubine De, there are pros and cons.
Stuffing a side Fujin, it is obvious that it can break the situation of Ji Yingxin's family dominance, the side Fujin is different from the ordinary concubine, it is on the royal jade, and as soon as he enters the mansion, he is a side Fujin, even if his background is not as good as that of Chang Fujin, it will not be a small family, in order to fight for this part of the power, Yinzhen naturally has to think a little bit about the past, this is a proper Yang conspiracy.
But in the same way, people from such backgrounds, just like Ji Yingxin, will not be controlled by Concubine De at all under normal circumstances, therefore, Concubine De cannot estimate the result of the development of things, and it is different to promote Zhang Jia's family, Concubine De can completely control her, as for the disadvantages, that is, Zhang Jia's background is too low, and the right to control the housekeeper will also be checked and balanced by Ji Yingxin, so that in a short period of time, it is difficult to shake Ji Yingxin's status.
