Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1297 Concubine

"Xiangyu?" Sixteen Fujin was puzzled, and said, "It's the little girl that the empress dowager brought with her? Why did my sister-in-law want to ask her?"

Thirteen Fujin hesitated, lowered his head and took two sips of hot tea, and said, "I think that girl has a good appearance, and her temperament is also docile. I want to say that I will be a concubine for Fu Sengge."

The Sixteenth Fujin heard the words and said, "Why is it that my sister-in-law helped to arrange this?"

Thirteen Fujin said: "In addition to being my aunt, he is also my nephew. With his current status, and his parents are not around, if I don't mention this, who else can mention it?"

Sixteen Fujin said: "Although the girl from the Li family is of low birth, she is from the concubine's natal family, and she has been with the concubine for several years. The concubine may not be willing to be a concubine."

Thirteen Fujin said: "In other families, I wouldn't say that if the wife is rich and the concubine is cheap. But for the sake of the court's dignity, most of the eunuchs and Heshuo's eunuchs will not remarry, but there are always female relatives in the family to take care of the internal affairs .It is said that she is a concubine, but she is actually a housewife, so she can seriously ask for orders. Since I am a matchmaker, I can still do this."

The Fusengge she was talking about was the son of Yiduli, the second son-in-law of the palace.

The Er Gege of Prince Yi's Mansion was a descendant of the thirteenth Fujin. In his early years, he was taken into Prince Yong's Mansion and raised beside Empress Nala.

After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, although only Ergege was canonized as the princess, the decree allowed the thirteen elder brothers and his wife to choose their own son-in-law.

The thirteen elder brothers finally chose Thirteen Fujin's nephew. Er Gege and Fu Seng'a, the young couple, were originally cousins.

No, the world is impermanent, last year Ergege died in childbirth, both mother and child died.

Fosengge became a widower at a young age, and at first Thirteen Fujin didn't pay attention to his concubine because it was not the second Gege's anniversary.

Originally, I thought that Fusengge was just at the age when he was full of energy and blood, and his parents were away from home, so maybe he would choose one at any time.

Unexpectedly, until the Ergege anniversary passed, there was still no movement over there.

Thirteenth Fujin called Fu Sengge and gave some instructions, nothing more than that there must always be someone around him to wait on him, if he doesn't want to look outside, he can pick a good house in the mansion.

Fu Sengge was silent in person, but after several months, there was still no movement.

A few days ago, Thirteen Fujin couldn't help but went to the scholar's mansion in person, it was deserted, and it made people feel sad to see it.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is about to come, Fosengge cannot be left alone to celebrate the New Year, so Thirteen Fujin decided to make decisions for him.

After all, she is not only Fosengge's mother-in-law, but also his biological aunt, so it's not too much to worry about when his mother is not in the capital.

Fu Seng'a is the eldest son and grandson, and it is also his duty to spread the branches and leaves for the family. Even if Yi Duli and Zhao Jia's family are not good at urging, their old lady is worried.

She told her husband about it, and the thirteenth elder brother also agreed with Fu Sengge to take a concubine, but in terms of candidates, he warned his wife: "People with higher families will be willing to let their daughters unless they have a plan. To be a concubine. Since you can't give your stepmother status, just pick your appearance, don't stick to your background."

Having said that, Fosengge is the grandson of a great scholar and the son of the governor, and the Yiergenjueluo family is not a small family. If it is really a concubine from a poor family, although it saves trouble, it is not clear whether it can take care of the housework. Hard to say.

In the past two months, Thirteen Fujin saw many girls of the right age, and finally fell in love with Li Xiangyu, who was brought by Concubine Mi.

Although Li Xiangyu was born in dressing, but his grandfather was a weaver and grew up in Cao's parents. After Xiaoxuan entered the palace, he followed Princess Mi, and his education was not lacking.Whether you look at her appearance or her words and deeds, she is a likable girl.

But wives and concubines are different after all, and the thirteenth Fujin is a junior, so it is not easy to talk about it directly to Concubine Mi, so people invited the Sixteenth Fujin to discuss it.

Sixteen Fujin pondered for a while, but couldn't make up his mind, and said: "If my sister-in-law really meant it, I'd better mention it to the concubine. After all, the Li family was in decline, and that girl of the Li family was an orphan without father or mother. If you want to talk about marriage, I’m afraid you can only be humble. As my sister-in-law said, if you enter the scholar’s ​​mansion, even if you are a concubine, what’s wrong with being a director? Even if you give birth to a concubine The child is no different from the one who was born in the same family."

Thirteen Fujin nodded when he heard the words.

After all, she was the only one who fell in love with Li Xiangyu, and it wasn't because of her, if the concubine didn't want to, just find someone else.

The next day, Thirteen Fujin went to Yubeile Mansion to meet Concubine Mi.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Li also came to Baylor Mansion to meet Concubine Mi on this day.

Concubine Mi went to the palace to take care of her after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and did not return home until after Halloween.

The carriage of Mrs. Li and Shisan Fujin met outside the Baylor Mansion, and when they heard that they met Shisan Fujin, Mrs. Li hurriedly made way for them.

Thirteen Fujin did not go directly, but asked someone to invite Mrs. Li to come over, and the two of them arrived at the second gate of Baylor's Mansion in the same car.

When the fifteenth Fujin got the news, he had already brought people to wait outside the second gate.

Seeing that Mrs. Li got off in Thirteen Fujin's car, Fifteen Fujin was startled for a moment, and then his expression returned to normal.

The fifteenth Fujin also heard about the fact that the emperor bestowed the old Princess Mansion to the Cao family, and understood why the Thirteenth Fujin treated the Li family like this.

It's just that she is quite weird, Li Shi is nominally the cousin of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager is actually Li's concubine mother, how can this relationship be called a mess.

The thirteenth Fujin looked at the fifteenth Fujin with a smile, but he sighed inwardly.

He is obviously seven or eight years younger than her, but looks older than her face.

The fifteenth Fujin is the younger sister of Prince Limi. She married the fifteenth Fujin and had no children for three years.

The little Guerjia family was really good at giving birth. He served the fifteenth elder brother for ten years and gave birth to seven sons and daughters.Among the five little princes and little princesses in the Baylor Mansion, four are from the little Guerjia family.

However, the [-]th Fujin only gave birth to a daughter the year after the family sister entered the house, and the body was not adjusted after giving birth, and she never gave birth again.

The little Gege who was born on the first line was no less than the lifeblood of the fifteenth Fujin, but he died last year.

Thirteen Fujin thought of himself, also suffering from the loss of his daughter and son, and held fifteen Fujin's hand, feeling sore in his heart.

Mrs. Li hadn't been to Baylor Mansion for a few days, and saw that the fifteenth Fujin looked old and haggard, but the pain of losing a daughter was not enough to be comforted by empty words and white teeth, so she changed the conversation and asked about the health of the concubine.

"Your Majesty's appetite is good, but I can't sleep well. My Majesty's dormitory was newly built last year. The ground dragon cage is well placed, and the room is a little hot when it burns. My Majesty feels a little angry, so she drank a few times of carrot soup." Fifteen Fujin Road.

Mrs. Li nodded while listening, this is not good in winter, if it is cold in the house, it is just a pot of charcoal; if it is hot, he dare not open the window at will, instead it will make him feel stuffy.

While speaking, a group of people arrived outside the bedroom of Concubine Mi.

It happened that Concubine Mi was anxiously waiting and sent her mother to wait outside, just in time to welcome everyone into the bedroom.

Concubine Mi is a few years younger than Li Shi, and she is also in her early fifties, but because she is well maintained, she looks like she is only in her forties.

She was a little surprised by Thirteen Fujin's arrival, but she still warmly greeted Thirteen Fujin to sit down.

Facing Mrs. Li, she was much more casual, first she smiled and congratulated her, and then praised Jian Wangfu's six characters.

The Thirteenth Fujin came here to mention Li Xiangyu's matter. After seeing Li Shi, he realized that Li Xiangyu was not only a distant relative of Concubine Mi, but also Li Shi's nominal grandniece.

Let Li Xiangyu be a concubine, if Li Shi picks it up, how good is it?
Thirteen Fujin was in a dilemma, Concubine Mi knew that she seldom went out to socialize, so she needed to say something when she came here this time.

But she hesitated to speak, it was... Concubine Mi's eyes swept over Li Shi, and then she smiled and said to Shiwu Fujin: "Let's talk about us, and you little sisters-in-law will talk about yours..."

The fifteenth Fujin agreed with a smile, and retreated with the Thirteenth Fujin.

Mrs. Li looked at the back of Thirteen Fujins, and when they went out, Fang said to Concubine Mi with some embarrassment: "Is it a coincidence that I came here? I don't know if you have a distinguished guest here, or I will come tomorrow. "

"Xu is looking for fifteen daughters-in-law. I'm an old woman. What can I do?" Concubine Mi waved her hands and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, you are the honored guest. It's rare to see you go out. Is there any happy event? Invite me to listen to a play and have a drink?"

Li Shi said: "I came here today to invite my mother. I discussed with my wife and wanted to take the children to live in Xiaotangshan for a while. I wondered if my mother would have the honor to go with her if she was free. It can’t compare to the richness and comfort of the mansion in the middle of the capital, but it is rare to have the taste of the mountains.”

Concubine Mi couldn't help being excited when she heard the words: "Xiaotangshan? When will you leave and how many days will you stay?"

Mrs. Li replied: "On the eighteenth day, God bless his father to rest and take us there; if the mother goes with her, she will stay longer. The mess in the twelfth lunar month, let their younger generation worry about it, and we will hide there. "

Concubine Mi smiled happily when she heard this, and said: "Exactly, exactly, who is patient with this mess. After all, I haven't soaked in hot springs for some years."

After the holy grandfather repaired the hot spring palace, he went to live in the hot spring palace in winter for a few years, and Concubine Mi was one of the accompanying concubines.

In the later years of the holy grandfather, his energy was exhausted, so he seldom went to the hot spring palace.

Ascending to the throne today, diligence is the most important thing. At most, I go to Yuanmingyuan in summer to escape the heat, but I have never been to Xiaotangshan Palace.

In the past two years, although Concubine Mi left the palace to go to the mansion, the fifteenth elder brother was not under house arrest, but he was not allowed to move freely; on the sixteenth elder brother's side, because it was the adoptive Prince Zhuang's mansion, there was also Dowager Zhuang at the time. , It is not easy to get close to the birth mother.

The number of times Concubine Mi has gone out can only be counted with one slap, and it is only Cao Mansion and Guojun Prince Mansion.

Concubine Mi has been getting angry these few days, and when she heard that Mrs. Li invited her to the hot spring, she agreed happily.

After saying this, Concubine Mi sent someone to call Xiangyu over to greet Mrs. Li.

Seeing Xiangyu with outstanding appearance and gentle temperament, Mrs. Li pulled her over, looked at her carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "Next year and Ji, our Xiangyu is really a big girl..."

It's been a few days at this time, quack, it's not bad if you can persist.
