White Moonlight is Not Easy To Do - Chapter 265
Sima Xuan looked at her for a long time and said, “You have already married me, why do you still think about ‘him’?”
Yingchun really wanted to buy a piece of tofu to hit him, so why did Yulang make trouble like this?
“I didn’t cause your memory segmentation fault. I married you because of the cause and effect in the past. Now you ask for no such cause, but you want this effect. What do you want me to do?”
Sima Xuan thought for a while, and said, “Then you promise me that when your kung fu is consummated, you won’t be able to marry him.”
Yingchun made a big red face, only to feel that Guo Chen, who was still in his previous life, was much more naive. He was a technical man with naive self-confidence. And Sima Xuan really came from the royal family. He discovered the secret of his finesse at a young age, and he was able to hide it. Before the age of sixteen, he was able to hold back his peerless skills, and then he could tell lies on his own.
The husband and wife returned to the palace, and it was still early. Sima Xuan sent the **** in charge and the maid to pay tribute to the princess. They met with the princess’ dowry, Siqi, Xiuju, and two other second-class maids, and sent a reward for the first meeting.
Then Sima Xuan asked his grandmother, Mrs. Li, how the gift was prepared when she returned home tomorrow, and Mrs. Li took the gift list and showed it to him.
Sima Xuan said: “Although the princess was not born by the general’s wife, how can the etiquette given to her be the same as the second wife of the Rong Mansion? Wouldn’t it make people say that I don’t know the etiquette? Thirdly, the second uncle and second aunt will be halved. The princess’s siblings are all the same, so the juniors don’t have the same family, and the left and right princesses don’t have siblings.”
This is also because Sima Xuan knows that Yingchun and Daiyu, Tanchun and Xichun are the best, so it is not easy to distinguish. During the wedding in Yingchun, the Xue family, who lived in Jia’s house as a guest, saw the hot stove and burned it, adding makeup to Yingchun. At this time, he also had to give Xue Pan and Baochai some courtesy, otherwise people would say they didn’t know the etiquette.
Li respectfully nodded and said yes, and made another arrangement if he wanted to go down.
Yingchun saw Sima Xuan face people coldly, but the servants were in awe of him. The few servants are all competent, not like the Rongguo Mansion, which has hundreds of people not counting the farms.
It was only a few years since Sima Xuan opened the mansion. He had been on errands with the new emperor several times.
Before the meal was set, Sima Xuan took her to the various courtyards of the palace. Only the main courtyard had a master, and there were four large and small courtyards that did not have masters, and Sima Xuan was also sealed. His house was well-organized, and it was rare to find a servant who climbed on top of him, even less like Jia Lian who would call him grandpa when facing Lai Da.
When Yingchun asked, Sima Xuan smiled and said, “What’s so difficult about this, I’m a prince on my left and right, and I’m also my father and brother, can they still let my father and brother favor them? Those who follow the rules will do things and stay. , the treatment will not be bad. If I don’t want to do it, I will send people. Those who stay are very unruly. I killed several in the first year, and I dare not commit the rest. Treat the servants too loosely. , Don’t get too close, and deal with several people from time to time. When people don’t have any fear of you, if you show mercy to them, they won’t be grateful to you, but take it for granted. If you are the most disciplined , No matter what kind of relationship, most people will be grateful. There are so many princes in the father and the emperor, and the third brother and my house were the cleanest back then.”
Yingchun secretly thought that Sima Xuan’s method was actually the same as the last elimination of the modern company. Keeping the dynamic changes of the personnel, the rules of these people would be better.
Yingchun said: “You are very reasonable. The servants are migrant workers. If you give money, you will do things. If you don’t do things, you can’t give money. In this era, they are prostitutes, and we also give them the freedom to choose to redeem themselves. It is benevolence and righteousness. The servants like the Lai family of Jia’s house are really big rats that grow in the grain warehouse of Jia’s house, biting the roots of the master’s family. And my grandma, who said that her blood turned into grandma and made me bigger, if she took it out I ate my family’s food, used my family’s food, and paid all my family’s money back to me. That’s the kindness I’ve given to me. I can support her like a biological mother. That family is lying on me and sucking blood, and they always cheat. I bullied me and bad my reputation, what kind of relationship is there?! In this era, how many people can’t find a job, and it is not difficult for the next person to do the cleaning work, but it is not easy to find someone? Let me tell you, as long as the kitchen is not good at cooking The kitchen has been removed. You are a prince after all, and we can’t afford to go to the restaurant every day to eat, and there is no reason to be ruled by slaves. But what do they do after they leave the house?”
I thought that Si Qi, as the eldest maid of Yingchun, would not pay attention to eating a stewed egg. It is said that in the Rongguo Mansion, stewed eggs are not something that can be eaten on the table, and even the janitor can eat it better than this. But Yingchun has no face in the mansion, not even a personal maid.
Sima Xuan smiled and said with a smile, “Aren’t you full of food in Jia Mansion?”
Yingchun thought about the original owner and said, “The minions welcome the high and the low. In the past, I… I still haven’t remembered the past like you, and no one has burned my cold stove.”
Sima Xuan said: “Your mother’s house is really a mess inside and outside. In fact, as long as men are not trash, women can manage the house and be mean to slaves, and the family can’t fall; if men are trash, how can women manage the top of the house, grace slaves, slaves You have to have a different heart, and your family has to fall.”
Yingchun hugged his hands and smiled: “Yu Lang is ruthless! From now on, the two of us will live together, and the house will be clean. There must be no servants like Lai everyone.”
The two returned to the main courtyard and entered Sima Xuan’s study, where they saw two shelves of books, a set of pineapple tables and chairs, and an ondol.
Yingchun said: “I also have to make a study room, and I also promised to teach the princesses martial arts! I have to write a few sets of secrets.”
Sima Xuan said: “If you want to read the book, use pen and ink, I will follow you, but you don’t need to set it up.”
Yingchun smiled and said, “You have no money?”
Sima Xuan said: “In addition to the rank and title, I only accept some rewards from the father and the emperor and the emperor’s brother, as well as the ice and charcoal, and the other things are absolutely unacceptable. The royal brother and the others. The royal father also knew that those years were too extravagant, and the three emperors had such a temper, and he could selflessly serve the father and emperor to take away this ethos.
Yingchun said: “Okay.”
Sima Xuan took her back to the bedroom again, removed the table in the room, lifted the carpet, and pried open the bluestone slab. There was a big pit at the bottom, and there was a box in the pit.
He put on a pair of leather gloves before he took out the box, put it on the table, opened the box, it was sparkling, and Yingchun was dazzled.
Sima Xuan took off his gloves and said, “The surface and the interlayer of this box are all coated with poison. Whether it’s an outside thief or an internal thief, whoever comes to take out the box or destroy it, will definitely save lives.”
Yingchun clapped his hands and said with a smile, “I like it! But how much money is hidden in such a precious box as you?”
Sima Xuan rolled her eyes at her and said, “I’m not married, there’s no one in the house, and the people in the family can’t be trusted, so this is the only way.”
Yingchun said: “Everyone has their own personalities, it is really difficult to do it.”
Sima Xuan said: “My manor only has half of the rank and silver in the palace, but there are things that are regulated in the library, and the kitchen also has things from the manor, such as wedding matters and clothes for the four seasons are also arranged by the inner government. This is my possession. things, you will show me in the future.”
Yingchun asked, “How many are there?”
Sima Xuan said: “It’s only 50,000 taels of silver notes, and these jewels are more valuable than silver.”
Yingchun smiled and said, “You are considered poor among princes.”
Sima Xuan rolled her eyes at her, and Yingchun teased: “However, when did I ask for your wealth? Isn’t it because of your beauty that I married you?”
Sima Xuan always knew that his appearance was really the second hardest to find in the world. Women looked like that when they saw him, and even men were fascinated when they saw him, but it was hard for anyone to dare to talk to him like this. Being teased by her, he was angry and funny.
Sima Xuan turned his head and smiled, then looked down at her, and said, “A woman like you, who would dare to marry you except me?”
Although Sima Xuan didn’t know her in this life, he was just like Baoyu’s natural closeness when he first met Daiyu. The two were only married, and they only chatted with each other in the wedding room, but the feeling in his heart was different.
Yingchun said: “You get cheap and sell well.”
Except for the silver notes, the box is full of valuable jewelry, which is better than some things in the public library. He wanted to take them out for her, but Yingchun only picked out a few pieces that he usually used.
After dinner, the two went back to the house to talk and practice the exercises. There was nothing special, not to mention.
The next day, the three dynasties returned to the door, and the servants and servants of Jia Mansion got up early in the morning and got busy.
Yingchun and Sima Xuan’s car also arrived at the gate of Rong Mansion, the door of Rong Mansion was wide open, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Madam Xing, Madam Wang, Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng, Daiyu, Tanchun, Xichun, Baoyu, who were below Jia’s mother , Jia Cong and Jia Huan, who were still young, and Jia Zhen, You Shi, Jia Rong, and Jia Qiang from Dongfu all greeted him at the door, but Qin Keqing was seriously ill at this time, and no one was there.
The **** opened the curtains of the carriage, Sima Xuan got out of the carriage first, and then Yingchun, who had been dressed as a woman, stepped on the pier with Sima Xuan and got off the carriage. Although Yingchun has not yet married Sima Xuan, this matter is not enough for outsiders.
The servants of the Rong Mansion were busy meeting each other with the national ceremony, Sima Xuan called Pingshen, and then went to Yingchun to give Jia Mu, Jia She, and Mrs. Xing a light blessing. As for Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, even their elders could not afford her ‘s blessing.
Only then did Sima Xuan wave his hands one by one and said, “My little son-in-law greets the old lady! Greetings to my father-in-law! Mother-in-law Jin An! Second uncle and second aunt are good!”
Mother Jia hurriedly returned the salute and said “don’t dare”, and then everyone surrounded the two of them into the mansion, and the face of Si Qi who came back with him was different.
Sima Xuan was a man, so he followed Jia She and Jia Zheng to the Rongxi Hall, but Sima Xuan said, “This is the first time Xiao Wang is at his father-in-law’s house, so why should he be bothered by his second uncle’s yard all day long? It’s inconvenient for my father-in-law’s house to go to the garden. When the wine is set, Xiao Wang and his father-in-law and brother-in-law also have a good drink.”
Jia Zheng was also very embarrassed, but Jia She benefited a bit, and hurriedly asked Jia Lian to arrange it. Sima Xuan knew that Jia She liked antique gold stones and fans, so he sent him a picture of flowers and birds of Tang Yin of the former Ming Dynasty to appreciate together.
In history, many wise men in middle-aged and old age were not motivated and indulged in alcoholism, which shows that lustful middle-aged men may not have no knowledge, but it is just human nature for men to be depressed and addicted to alcoholism in middle age, and only a few men can overcome them.
Therefore, Jia She’s accomplishments in calligraphy and painting and antiques are extremely high, and he and Sima Xuan actually have a good conversation together.
Yingchun went to Jia’s mother’s yard to talk. Jia’s mother treated her like a sweetheart. She was not very enthusiastic when she saw her. She knew that she was the one who really looked down on her the most. No matter how unhappy she was in her heart, Jia’s mother would not Turning your face will not push Yingchun’s offense away.
Mother Jia only wanted her to be close with her sisters. She knew that Yingchun, Daiyu and Erchun were the best. As long as Daiyu and Erchun kept Yingchun’s heart, Rongfu would not be able to escape from having such a noble family.
Yingchun got up from Mother Jia with great difficulty, saw Madam Wang sitting by the side, and said, “Yesterday I went to the palace to go to the imperial father, mother, brother, and sister-in-law to ask An Xie’en, and later I played with Princess Shoukang and the others in the imperial garden. , I met the lady in the hall by chance.”
Madam Wang could not help but let out a cry, and Mother Jia and Baoyu were also excited.
Madam Wang said, “Yuanchun, is she okay?”
Yingchun said: “I also asked, and the lady in the lobby said everything was fine. When I was a child, the lady in the lobby was not very close to me. I couldn’t remember her for a while, and I almost didn’t recognize her yesterday. Fortunately, the lady in the lobby has a good memory, otherwise The relatives who do not know each other will make the princesses laugh at our Rongfu.”
For example, Jia Mu, Wang Xifeng, and Mrs. Wang are both smart and stupid. They also heard that Yingchun did not like Yuanchun very much, and only called her the big sister, and said, “I was not very close at home, and I almost didn’t recognize her.”
Someone like Daiyu, who is more than a little bit more sensible, hurriedly covered her mouth with a veil, for fear of losing her manners. Daiyu has been in Jia’s mansion for many years, and she also knows the faces of the people in this mansion. At this time, Lin Ruhai is still there, and some people are holding a Baochai and demoted her, and the second sister is not favored. One or two.
Seeing the expressions of Mother Jia and Madam Wang, Wang Xifeng hurriedly smiled and said, “This eldest sister has been in the palace for many years, how old was the princess at that time! Now it’s better, my younger sister has become a princess, and she can often go to the palace and see the princess. Big sister. It is a great joy for the princess to return home! It is also a great joy to receive news from the big sister today. This is a double happiness!”
Everyone laughed and agreed, and Mrs. Wang said again, “Yuanchun, she… is she fat or thin?”
Mrs. Wang didn’t know what to ask, so she was so excited that she cried when her relatives met when she was saving relatives. That’s why she asked such an ordinary mother who cares about her child.
Yingchun said: “Then I can’t say. The lady in the hall is most concerned about Baoyu. She asked me if Baoyu went to school. I said, the master of Baoyu went home last year, and the lady in the hall was very anxious, so she asked me to send a message. For the second aunt, Baoyu’s schoolwork should not be wasted.”
Mrs. Wang wiped away her tears and said, “Pity Yuanchun. I have been in the palace for many years, and I don’t know how much I have suffered.”
Yingchun said “naively”: “It is said that the palace maids can leave the palace when they are twenty-two years old. Although it is said that the lady in the hall is the female history of Si Le of the Shangyi Bureau, but someone who finds a replacement can also leave the palace. I I remember that the lady in the hall is 11 years older than me, 12 years older than Baoyu, and 23 years old this year, so she should be able to leave the palace. If I ask Princess Shoukang to tell the queen mother, I can let the palace grace the elder sister and go home Come.”
When Baoyu heard this, she quickly clapped her hands and said, “It’s good to dare!”
Madam Wang said, “No!”
Daiyu, Tanchun, and Xichun bowed their heads, but did not listen; Baochai glanced at Madam Wang, Mother Jia, and even Yingchun, and then bowed their heads and said nothing.
Yingchun said: “Oh, then forget it, I’ll save the trouble.”
Mother Jia and Madam Wang had some plans in their hearts, but they were immature, and they couldn’t even speak in front of so many people.
…
Yingchun and Wang Xifeng, Dai, Tan, Xi and other sisters-in-law went to the garden next to Rongqing Hall to have a drink, which was the season of peony blooming.
Yingchun talked about the palace and said with a smile: “The prince came out to build the palace at the age of sixteen, but he didn’t spend much time in the palace all year round. There aren’t many people in it, and he doesn’t like to keep idle people, so he’s stingy.”
Wang Xifeng said: “I really hope that there are fewer people eating in our house. This economic method is a university question.”
Yingchun smiled and said: “I don’t have the ability of Sister-in-law Feng. If I want to take care of this family’s servants, I’m afraid I’ll go crazy. The prince is a murderer, and a loyal servant will never be less rewarded; If it’s bad, it will be expelled at light, and killed at worst.”
Wang Xifeng said: “This is rewarded and punished. It is the sincerity of the housekeeper.”
Yingchun said: “Exactly, sister-in-law Feng is an expert. These housekeeping principles are the most important after marriage. Sisters can learn from sister-in-law Feng. Like me, it is fortunate that I married him, and there are no elders in the house. If you marry someone else, your mother-in-law will not dislike it.”
Wang Xifeng smiled and said, “I’d rather teach, but I’m afraid my sisters won’t look down on my ability.”
Daiyu said, “Why is there such a big difference between the second sister after she gets married and before she gets married, and she talks to Sister-in-Law Feng everywhere.”
Tan Chun also said: “That is, the second sister and us were the best in the past.”
Ping’er smiled and said, “Is it the same as being a mistress of a house and being a girl at home?”
The girls laughed again, but Baoyu was left out in the cold, but he was a bit crazy, he only looked at people’s appearance, Yingchun was young, and he became more and more beautiful and high-spirited. son.
At this time, Yingchun was talking about inviting the sisters to the palace for a banquet the next day. A maid came up and said that she was invited by the servant next to Jia Zheng and came to find Second Master Bao to gather in the front garden.
Baoyu has just gone, and Yingchun thought that the second room would have a plan, just like to let Baoyu show off, but unfortunately Baoyu can’t do things.
Yingchun recalled that she had grown so big, and that she was married, and that every piece of paper came from Jia’s house. She couldn’t blindly feel that the original owner was neglected.
She excused herself and changed her clothes and asked Wang Xifeng to accompany her to her yard.
After Yingchun changed his clothes, he sat and rested for a while in the wing of Wang Xifeng’s yard. Seeing that Wang Xifeng was about to rush to Jia Mu’s yard again to arrange a meal. Yingchun walked slowly with her, and sent Si Qi and Heping’er who were beside her to talk. Yingchun only talked about the fact that Sima Xuan might have to go on a business trip after half a month.
Wang Xifeng smiled and said, “Second sister just got married, won’t this separate your husband and wife? What is so important?”
Yingchun said: “It’s not necessarily separation, the lord may also take me there, I don’t know where to go. It’s almost like the errand of Lord Wang, who is on patrol and other errands, sister-in-law, don’t tell others, come At that time, the lord not only blamed me, but also our Jia family. He either went to Chang’an area, maybe Huguang, and I also heard the lord say that some officials in this place are too outrageous, and those who violate the king’s law will be killed by champerty. Yes, everything is there. The Holy High is an enterprising lord, and he never sees this matter. If he encounters it, his family will be raided, and his property will be charged to the treasury. I heard that the imperial court is because there are rebels in the north and south who want to send troops to conquer , but because the treasury was borrowed silver by hundreds of officials, I couldn’t get the money.”
Wang Xifeng has always been strong, but she only loves to brag to the people below her, just because in her three views, if she is weak, she will be looked down upon and bullied, and it is also her biological father who is useless, relying on her uncle. , in the end the root is not real and false. She has tasted the sweetness of bravado and pomp, and her temperament has become more and more arrogant. Now that she has grown up, she has almost settled her temperament.
However, she didn’t dare to be mad about people who were really powerful, powerful or distinguished, so she never saw her show up to her mother Jia and Madam Wang, and she never saw her being able to see Yuan Concubine, who saved her relatives. It’s flamboyant.
Wang Xifeng knew about champerty, which Mrs. Wang did.
Don’t say that this is a colleague, even the original text also has textual research:
If Mrs. Wang hadn’t done it before, the old nun at Shuiyue Nunnery would not be familiar with Wang Xifeng and said, “I have something to ask the wife of the mansion, please ask the grandmother to show me first.” Master said, write a book…”
And Wang Xifeng understood after listening to Lao Ni’s narration. Obviously she had seen it before, so she said: “This is not a big thing, but my wife doesn’t care about these things.”
This further shows that Mrs. Wang has done it before, otherwise Wang Xifeng would not say “don’t care anymore”, but “never touch it”.
However, Wang Xifeng said after listening to Yingchun’s words, “I’m afraid that all the people who are officials in the world have taken care of this matter. How can the lord find out?”
Yingchun also saw that Wang Xifeng hadn’t committed a life lawsuit at this time. Seeing that she wanted to save her life only after she had brought up her marriage, this person was afraid that he was too daring.
Yingchun said: “It’s not too difficult. How many jinshi people in Beijing have been recruited in the Ministry of Officials, and the lord will bring a group of people around. When one kills the other, the vacant position will be filled by the Master Jin Shi immediately. I thought, whether it is true or false, whether it is true or false, whether it is true or false, whether it is true or false, maybe he will be able to fill a real position, and in the future he will also be able to fill the position immediately. Earning a wind crown and shawl for sister-in-law Feng. Isn’t that a hundred times better than staying at home and helping the second uncle and second aunt housekeeper? “
Yingchun also knew that Wang Xifeng couldn’t go to Sima Xuan to verify these things. Seeing the death of Qin Keqing who was about to come, she only hoped that Sister Feng could also slow down these evil things. When there is an opportunity in the future, I will kill the chicken police monkey for her. In this way, it will avoid the pitiful loss of sister Qiao’s mother in the future, and she will also repay the kindness of Jia’s family and Wang Xifeng’s management of her marriage.
Rongqingtang set up a banquet for the female family members, and Yingchun also sat beside the old lady.
Ji Ran finished the meal, and spoke again, and Sima Xuan, accompanied by Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, etc., welcomed the spring and said goodbye to Jia’s mother.
Before, the daughters didn’t dare to look at him directly, but when he stepped into the inner hall, they only saluted, and they saw it clearly, they all secretly said: It turns out that this dragon, the grandson and the phoenix look like this, even the face of the second master Lian can’t be compared. Yes, this otherworldly temperament is even less like the color of the world.
Baochai couldn’t help thinking: If she can enter the palace in the draft, the emperor is the elder brother of the prince, and he doesn’t know if he looks like the prince. Just thinking about it, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for herself, she still had to seize the only option – Baoyu.
Yingchun and Sima Xuan said goodbye and left Jia’s house, while Jia’s mother and Mrs. Wang read the gift list. In addition to the more serious gifts for Jia’s mother, what was given to Mrs. Jia Zheng and Wang’s wife was only equivalent to a stumbling hand, and I heard that the palace was carrying gifts. The servants did not bring the Guining Golden Pig and the things that Jia She and Mrs. Xing had sent to the Rong Mansion, but carried them directly into the East Courtyard, each with their own tastes.
It is difficult for other people’s families to treat their uncles and aunts as parents, because it is difficult for uncles and aunts to treat their nieces as their own daughters, such as Shi Xiangyun and Yingchun, of course. Although Jia She was not good to her, her life was always given by Jia She and her aunt. She was able to marry with a decent dowry because she inherited the blood of the Jia family from him.
