Chapter 122 The plan is in progress
Wu Youwei stayed with Zhang Sheng for one night.
There are already so many people in the Wu Mansion that there is no place for him to live.
He was not in a hurry to go back the next day, but bought some gifts and went to see the second room.
When Wu Mengshi came out to meet Wu Youwei, he put on light makeup, and Wu Youwei smelled a faint smell of rouge.
In the past, Wu Mengshi never wore makeup. She was a widow, and she didn't even wear colorful clothes and jewelry on her body.
This is?
Wu Youwei took a closer look at his second sister-in-law.
Wu Mengshi gave a wry smile: "The eyes are too swollen to be seen, making my uncle laugh."
Oh, it's to cover up the haggardness!
"Second sister-in-law, what's the matter with you?" Wu Youwei glanced at the maid Camellia and the others beside her: "Someone made you angry?"
"Young master, it's not the servants and others, it's the housewife..." Camellia almost burst into tears when she said that.
"Shut up!" Wu Mengshi yelled at her: "No matter how old or young, that's the empress's own mother. What kind of thing are you? How dare you say that?"
"Even if it's my mother, she's also your sister-in-law." Wu Youwei understood: "Yesterday...were you wronged?"
"What's wrong with you? It's just a little quarrel between the sisters-in-law." Wu Mengshi can bear it, and she has to bear it. It's nothing more than a man who doesn't have a man to set up a family in the second room. Now, a golden phoenix flew out of the first room. .
After Yifang, I'm afraid there will be no bright future.
I can only hope that my son will work harder, but that can only be done without too much crime, unless the son is an extremely human minister, and she is ordered by the imperial seal.
Otherwise, the first room will always be the second room. With the queen around for a day, she...she has to endure it.
"Second sister-in-law, I brought Qiong'er by my side yesterday." Wu Youwei put down the gift and changed the subject: "If you want to find a husband for him, the house where I split the family at that time happens to be living in now." My classmate and good friend Zhang Sheng, he is a man of profound knowledge and has a bright future, why don't you let Qiong'er worship under him."
"Zhang Sheng?" Wu Mengshi was stunned: "Can't Li Dongyang do it?"
Wu Youwei was stunned for a moment, his second sister-in-law has a big heart?
Li Dongyang didn't even dare to think about it.
And according to his memory, Li Dongyang's nouns in the imperial examination are not as good as Zhang Sheng, is he only No. 11 or No. 9?
"Brother Xiya is already an Hanlin now. I'm afraid he will be released for a few years in the future. I'm afraid Qiong'er will not be taught." Wu Youwei said: "Zhang Sheng is different. He plans to take the exam two years later. He wants to take the exam in one go. It's a good name, and my place is closer to here. It's convenient to go back and forth on weekdays, and to go to class.
"I wanted Qiong'er to go out yesterday, even if my uncle introduced it to someone!" Wu Mengshi said bitterly: "I ignored it!
"Second sister-in-law, don't you understand?" Wu Youwei took the opportunity and said, "The first-born family of the big house is picking on the second house and me, the third house. Now that they have raised a golden phoenix, let's return it." What is it?"
Wu Mengshi hated it even more.
Now little Wu Qiong ran out: "Mother, my sister is awake!"
"Hurry up and let your uncle take a look." Wu Mengshi calmed down and ordered: "Let someone cut the watermelon again!"
"Yes!"
Wu Youwei hugged his little nephew and made out for a while, the fruit came up, and the little niece was also carried out by the nanny. The little niece has just turned one year old now, but she is cuter than before.
Wu Youwei also bought a super high-quality mutton jade fudou for his little niece, this one is big, I am afraid that the child will swallow it if she is too small, and give her a big one, she won't be able to swallow it even if she holds it.
"Give her such a valuable thing..." Wu Mengshi could see that it was a good thing, at least worth three or four hundred taels of silver.
"What is given to her is for her, and you, as a mother, can't stop you." Wu Youwei handed the blessing beans to the nanny: "Keep it well, if she wants to play with it in the future, she can take it out and play with it.
"Yes." The nanny put it away happily. The presents received by the young lady were all from her mother's family. They were given by the uncle, the young master, and there are already quite a few.
Wu Mengshi held the child in her arms, and the little girl sat obediently.
Obviously, Wu Mengshi is closer to his daughter, but he has high expectations for his son, and he is very serious to his son. Wu Youwei changed the subject and said his plan.
He didn't shy away from the people around Wu Mengshi, because it was even more impossible for them to be alone, so he could only let them listen. In fact, he was not afraid of what would happen to them. No one would believe it if he told it.
""From...?" Wu Mengshi was a little dumbfounded.
Who can't see the current situation in the Wu Mansion?
They are the emperor's Yue family, and the Wu family is the descendant of the dynasty!
Uncle not only wants to share with the Wu family, but also to separate from the clan and set up another branch!
Clan, clan, clan first, clan last.
If the sect is divided, it is really not a clan member of the same clan.
Now how many people surnamed Wu want to join Wu Jun, but Wu Youwei wants to separate.
"Second Sister-in-law, if you believe me, just break up with me. Here, we will never be able to make a difference." Wu Youwei finished his words, touched little Wu Qiong's head, and then got up to leave. There was no lunch. used here.
Wu Mengshi sat there in a daze, apparently still not recovering, and forgot to keep Wu Youwei for dinner.
Wu Youwei returned to Moring Villa that afternoon.
Three days later, Wu Youwei set off again, entered the capital, and participated in a cultural meeting.
Let's talk about Wu Qian'er.
After entering the palace, becoming a queen is different. For three days after the wedding, the emperor stayed at her place every night, but on the fourth day, he conferred two imperial concubines, four concubines, and six Jieyu.
The imperial concubines are Wanfei and Baifei.
Concubine Concubine and Jieyu are not worth mentioning, but Concubine Wan and Concubine Bai made Wu Qianer vigilant in an instant.
When they ran for the election, the two of them and she were the candidates for the crown princess that the former emperor had favored.
One is her Wu Qianer, the other is Wang Xinger from the Wang family, and the other is Bai Xianger from the Bai family.
It is said that Wang Xing'er was born when the apricots were ripe, hence the name "Xing'er".
Bai Xiang'er said that during delivery, the delivery room smelled of a strange fragrance, hence the name "Xiang'er".
Only her name is explained because she was the daughter of her parents when she was the youngest, so she was named "Qian'er", which was taken from "Qian can inherit the family. If there is a son, the salary can be given to Jisheng without an official.
This is exactly the famous line in "Huai Wan Lang Zhong Bo Yu" by Mr. Mei An.
It also has the ancient meaning of a man's beautiful youth; and the meaning of a woman's youth. Under various meanings, she is the one who wins.
She canonized as the hostess after entering the palace, so it is much more convenient to inquire about all kinds of news.
Wang Xing'er didn't have the chance to be a successor, and the family didn't want her to enter the palace to be a favorite concubine, so she went home directly, planning to marry herself after autumn.
But Bai Xiang'er was different, she was the daughter-in-law whom the Empress Dowager Qian had taken a fancy to, and she was also very beautiful.
Being a queen is not respectful enough, but being a concubine is more than enough!
Wu Qianer thinks that her biggest competitor is Bai Xianger.
Because Bai Xiang'er's father's position is much higher than her father's.
Bai Xiang'er herself was also better looking than her, with a slender figure and a better conversationalist. During the election period, she could laugh and have fun with Empress Dowager Qian every day. She chose to stay in the palace, and now she is canonized as a concubine by the emperor.
As for Concubine Wan, that was an accident.
The emperor was raised by her own hands. Everyone thinks that the emperor wants to give her a good treatment, but after all the palace maid is promoted to a female official, it will be the end of the day. If it is better to be a concubine, in this way, only the queen and empress dowager will be in the palace. , I'm afraid no one would dare to do anything to her^.
What's so scary about an old woman who is 17 years older than the emperor and in her 30s and almost 40?After all, she was born as a slave.
At this time, Wu Qian'er forgot that Emperor Xianzong's birth mother, Empress Dowager Zhou, was also born as a slave.
(It was wrongly typed before, and it was labeled as Empress Dowager Qian. In fact, Emperor Xianzong’s biological mother was Empress Dowager Zhou. Well, it is recorded in history! Please fix this BU....)
It's just that the court ladies in the Ming Dynasty were all from good families outside, just like the court ladies in the Qing Dynasty were all daughters of banner families, they were all girls of good background.
As a result, on the evening of the fourth day, the emperor did not come to Kunning Palace, but went to another palace.
And the rules in the palace are strict, and the hierarchy is more clear. She is the queen, and she can manage the maids and some small eunuchs, but she can't reach the emperor's eunuchs or maids!
In addition, she is new here, so she is not familiar with anything, and she can't find out where the emperor went to the palace, so she can only wait for tomorrow...
That night, Wu Qian'er suffered from insomnia.
She got up early the next morning, not to wait for those concubines to greet her, but after they got up early, they met at the Kunning Palace, and after greeting the queen, they will go to the Compassionate Palace together Please pay attention to Empress Dowager Qian, and then go to Qingning Palace to pay attention to Queen Mother Zhou.
Empress Dowager Qian is the empress of Yingzong, the first wife, and she was established by Empress Dowager Zhang. She was the first empress married by an emperor since the Ming dynasty.
Although the Empress Dowager Zhou is also noble and gave birth to the current emperor, she was always an imperial concubine, not a queen, before the emperor ascended the throne.
Despite the difference between the concubine and the concubine, the harem still respects the Empress Dowager Qian.
Please pass Ann, sure enough, Queen Mother Zhou is still unhappy, but she can only hold her breath
Please pass Ann, and go back to each house.
Wu Qian'er also returned to her Kunning Palace.
A female history came in with something in her hand.
When I saw the history of women, I had to talk about it.
In the Han Dynasty, there were female imperial chiefs, palace chiefs, and the history of learning affairs in the middle palace; Ji, Dian Ji, Zhang Ji... There were more than 24 female officials; in the Song Dynasty, there were Si Gong Ling, Liu Shangshu, [-] Si, Si Zheng, Tong Shi, etc.; the female official system in the Ming Dynasty was more complete than that in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Generally, female officials in the harem are completely different from concubines, appearance is not important, and entering the palace is not for the emperor to be a concubine, and the original intention is not to have an ambiguous relationship with the emperor.
Many of the female officials in the Ming Dynasty were widows over the age of 30 and under the age of 40 recruited from the people.
A widow is a woman who lives alone without a spouse.
The tasks of the female officials are very complicated. Some are in charge of writing and printing, recording the emperor's daily life, sleeping women, and the pregnancy of the concubine. Some are responsible for cleaning; Crown Prince conducts personnel affairs
Of course, if the emperor was happy for a while, or his eyes were frustrated, and he fell in love with a female official, it was all right to sleep, and some even became imperial concubines.
This is talking about Concubine Wan. Her last position was the female official of the Emperor Xianzong, known as "Wan Zhangyi".
But no matter how many female officials there are, the emperor's harem can't be controlled, and the concubines' indiscretions happen all the time, and women's hearts can't be controlled.
Zhu Yuanzhang's harem management was very strict, even if he heard that any concubine had a problem, he would be executed. Concubine Guo Ning, Concubine Li Xian, and Concubine Ge Li were all executed after catching the wind and buried in the wild in a wicker basket.
But Zhu Yuanzhang's harem still has news of the concubine having an affair with others from time to time. His beloved Concubine Hu was killed by the suspicious Zhu Yuanzhang after a dead baby appeared in the sewer of the harem, and it was later confirmed that she died unjustly.
Now there is even a female official who has become the imperial concubine, which makes some of the remaining female officials feel uneasy.
Some people were silently excited!
Not all female officials want to die in the palace and serve others for a lifetime.
What she held in her hand was Tong Shi.
What does Tongshi do?
It is they who use a red brush with a red tube to record the night life of the emperor and his women, which is called Tongshi.
According to the regulations, the Tongshi had to be seen by the queen every day, and the seal was used to let the queen know which concubine the emperor was with. If she became pregnant in the future, Tongshi would be a proof.
Otherwise, if the pregnancy time is not right, it will be lively.
The emperor's hat might turn green...
