Chapter 106 106 Troubles make some people happy while others are sad.

Although there were many incidents and surprises or shocks in the middle, the selection of concubines in the 34th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign finally ended like this.

Later, when people recalled this year, they would always remember that there were many remarkable people among the beauties of this session.

For example, the biological mothers of the Seventeenth and Nineteenth Princes, Concubine Chen and Concubine Gao, were two young bondservant girls from the Han Army Banner. They held the title of Master Kang's favorite concubines for the next ten years, even surpassing the previously popular Concubine Wang.

For example, Jia Yuanchun, the legitimate daughter of Rongguo Mansion, was willing to be the concubine of Prince Ping. Although everyone had always been pessimistic about this marriage, some thought she was marrying up, while others thought she was marrying down. In short, everyone felt that the two of them were not a good match because Prince Ping was more than ten years older than Jia Yuanchun, but they were able to live a happy life together.

Even after Prince Ping's wife passed away, Jia Yuanchun successfully became the wife due to her outstanding record of giving birth to two sons and a daughter in ten years - but, things are unpredictable, no one knows what the future will be like by gambling with their life and future.

Of course, this is for ordinary people.

If there were anyone who was lucky enough to have heard Xianyu's inner thoughts, then it was not gambling at all, but an open card game - she was a "good omen" sent down from heaven, the truly efficacious kind, not some fake "born with jade in the mouth" kind... Yes, Jia Yuanchun said, she was talking about her biological brother, Jia Baoyu, who was born from the same mother as her.

It's true, comparing people will make you die, comparing goods will make you throw them away.

Originally, she had thought that this supernatural incident involving her brother was quite mysterious, and that it might really have some special origin.

However, seeing that he ate and slept, slept and ate like an ordinary baby, cried when he woke up, and slept again when he was tired of crying, I didn’t think there was anything special about him.

Unexpectedly, later, when Jia Baoyu was three years old, another monk and a Taoist priest came to her house. They looked strange and spoke nonsense, which made her feel even more unreliable.

But whether it was her grandmother, the old lady of the Jia family, or her mother, Mrs. Wang, everyone believed this.

Especially Grandmother Jia, she believed it so much that she even carefully inlaid the jade that Jia Baoyu held in his mouth when he was born, and assigned someone to keep it. She was so superstitious that it was somewhat funny.

If Jia Baoyu was the only one who was so special, then this so-called "auspicious sign" myth might have continued for some time.

But unfortunately, the news that cousin Xianyu from my second uncle Wang Ziteng's family was the real "auspicious sign" spread quickly.

Everyone said that this cousin had the power of a god. As long as one could please her, he would be able to know the past and future, understand fortune and misfortune, and even change his fate.

Jia Yuanchun didn't believe it at first, until she heard her little cousin's inner voice with her own ears... It's hard to describe what that feeling was like.

The shock is definitely shocking.

But it wasn't entirely shocking.

It was more of a shock - as if a small stone was thrown into a life that had been like a stagnant pool of water.

Especially after hearing her short and tragic life, Jia Yuanchun felt even stronger in her heart - she didn't want to live such a life.

Even if it means making the whole world her enemy, she still wants to make her own way.

Now that we know our original fate, why can't we change it?

In fact, just as Xianyu had expected, Jia Yuanchun had always known that she would be sent to the palace in the future.

She is the legitimate daughter of the Rongguo Mansion and has responsibilities that she must bear.

Because by her generation, although the Rongguo Mansion still looked rich and prosperous on the surface, it had already been hollowed out on the inside.

Even if the ancestors earned a lot of money, their descendants would still eat up all the money. This was the case with Rongguo Mansion.

All the men in the mansion have been useless since the generation of her uncle Jia She and her father Jia Zheng.

Not to mention Jia She, he is a complete playboy and dissolute man.

When he was young, he was a playboy, and he remained the same even when he was older. For example, when he was already in his forties or fifties, he still wanted to find a teenaged Yuanyang as his concubine. Although this plan didn't work out in the end because Yuanyang was very stubborn and Jia's mother didn't want to, he turned around and found an 18-year-old girl as his concubine. He was really loyal to only young girls until he was old.

Although Jia Lian is not as exaggerated as Jia She, he is Jia She's biological son after all. The power of blood inheritance really cannot be underestimated.

For example, Jia Zhu's son Jia Rong, even though he did not receive Jia Zhu's teaching since childhood, is still a top student.

Therefore, as Jia She's son, Jia Lian also learned how to pick up girls and find women without any instruction.

Every time she thought of this, Jia Yuanchun felt that her cousin Feng Jieer from her eldest uncle's family was really a man with a keen eye. She was not fooled by Lian Er's face and resolutely broke off the engagement with him.

I heard that the old lady of the Wang family and her great aunt are very supportive of Feng Jieer marrying a son-in-law, so maybe the eldest wife of the Wang family can still be saved.

In short, Jia She's family is hopeless, and Jia Zheng's family is not much better.

Although Jia Yuanchun herself was the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Rongguo Mansion, she had to admit that none of Xianyu's complaints about the Rongguo Mansion were wrong.

When Jia Zheng was young, he was also a lecher who liked flowers, grass, cats, and dogs. Although he studied in the name of reading, he did a lot of things like "adding fragrance to women with red sleeves".

This is why he actually knew the origin of Hua Xiren's name, and even scolded Jia Baoyu, who gave Hua Xiren this name, as "cunning".

It is said that this scene has a similar metaphor in the world of cousin Xianyu and her friends, which seems to be a fairyland. It is like one day you found that your twelve-year-old son suddenly named his pet dog "Bai Jie" and even said to you and other guests in a serious manner, "This dog is pure white, without a single stray hair, and is the cleanest and tidiest, so we call it Bai Jie."

Those who understand will understand.

Jia Yuanchun didn't understand at the time, but as she grew older, married Prince Ping as his concubine, and became familiar with the ways of the world, she suddenly understood everything.

Good Jia Baoyu, he must have read some crappy books, and very bad ones at that.

So, why did their father Jia Zheng also know this... It's really terrifying when you think about it.

Jia Yuanchun couldn't even dare to think about it.

However, this did not affect her deep agreement with the views of her cousin Xianyu at that time - Rongguo Mansion was finished, and of course, the same was true for Ningguo Mansion.

My uncle Jia Jing, my cousin Jia Zhen, and my nephew Jia Rong, three generations of the same family, are all weird.

However, my late aunt, Zhen's sister-in-law, Youshi, was quite nice.

I heard that the wife chosen for Rong'er is quite good, but he has been relying on women to survive for so many years.

As for why the word "also" was used, it was of course because the same was true for Rongguo Mansion - whether it was Lady Jia, Li Wan, or even her, they were all very good.

These were the exact words that cousin Xianyu expressed in her heart at that time.

But she also said a lot of things like "what a pity" at that time. At that time, Jia Yuanchun understood some of it, but not some of it. However, it did not prevent her from grasping the most important information, which was about herself.

She entered the palace through special channels and worked her way up from a small female historian. After more than ten years, she was finally favored by the emperor and was promoted to the title of Consort Xian De. She even had the honor of returning home to visit her family. It was truly a life of luxury.

Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long. The Jia family spent all their last bit of money on building the villa for the imperial visit, and they also had a lot of deficits. And because of her “improper words and deeds” during the imperial visit, she was reported to the emperor by someone with ulterior motives, and was soon despised and died young in the cold—she was less than 40 years old when she died.

Such a life is really miserable.

She doesn't want to.

And why should she use her youth and her life's happiness to help the Jia family "turn the tide"?

She was raised by the Jia family, but that doesn’t mean she owes anything to the Jia family—what was that thing cousin Xianyu was talking about called?

Yes, reject “moral kidnapping”.

Besides, listening to the "premonition" in cousin Xianyu's inner voice, the Jia family will decline no matter what, and will even be confiscated in the end, with the men being exiled and the women being sent into the palace. How can it be described in one word "tragic"?

Then why are you still struggling?

You're going to die anyway. You'll get killed whether you stick your head out or hide it. So you might as well just lie down, wash yourself clean and wait for death.

Or maybe he could take a gamble like her - oh, yes, Jia Yuanchun also learned about Prince Ping from Xianyu's thoughts.

I heard that this prince is a pretty good guy.

Furthermore, my cousin Xianyu said that her historical prototype was that she married Prince Ping, became a princess, and lived to a ripe old age in peace. This is simply too beautiful.

No matter what, this is the life she will live now.

Compared to the current His Majesty who is in his forties, the Prince Ping who is in his thirties looks more pleasing to the eye.

The most important thing is that by following Prince Ping, she can have a new destiny of having many children and grandchildren and living in peace until old age. Isn't that good?

Living a good life is better than anything else.

Anyway, she doesn't want to die, whoever wants to die can die.

After learning of her fate, Jia Yuanchun immediately began to make a plan to "change her destiny".

It’s no wonder that hard work pays off and she actually succeeded.

In short, in the end, she was successfully betrothed to Prince Ping as a concubine based on her performance in the selection. Although she was only a concubine, it was already very good, better than being a maid in the harem of the current emperor.

Anyway, she was quite satisfied.

Thanks to cousin Xianyu, she can take control of her own destiny.

As for the Jia family, let's be honest. They were doomed to decline and perish. When they thought of selling her as a commodity to the palace to gain favor, they should have thought that it was normal for her to break free from control. If it weren't for her cousin Xianyu, she might still have lived in a muddle-headed way as before, and then entered the palace to meet her predetermined fate.

But with cousin Xianyu, this will no longer be possible.

Jia Yuanchun is the first person in the Jia family to benefit from Xianyu's expression of her inner thoughts and information sharing.

The Ulanara family also benefited from her.

It was at the flower-viewing banquet at Prince Beijing's Mansion that day that little girl Ulanara learned about her future destiny.

It should be said that she is worthy of being a good friend of Jia Yuanchun, as the two of them have the same ideas.

It's not easy to get into the royal family, but marrying an ordinary person is impossible given their family backgrounds.

So, the little girl Ulanara chose to marry the prince of a prince's mansion. The population of the prince's mansion was simple, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law were both Buddhist and bad people. When she got married, she would be the legitimate wife, and she would have the final say in the entire prince's mansion. It was really great.

As for the second daughter of the Zhen family, she married into the Beijing Palace as she wished and became the princess consort of Shui Rong, who is still the crown prince.

The only surprise was that the third daughter of the Zhen family became a sister-in-law of Xianyu - she was actually betrothed to the Fifth Prince, and of course, she was also a concubine. After all, the Zhen family was similar to the Jia family, and since Jia Yuanchun was a concubine, it was normal for the third daughter of the Zhen family to have a concubine.

Everyone seems to have found a good home.

Except for the Fourth Prince.

Because, after the arranged marriage, Master Kang did not let Xianyu marry the Fourth Prince immediately.

The reason he gave was that the girl from the Wang family was still young and should spend more time with her parents and show her filial piety... It was really an irrefutable reason.

What's more, Xianyu had a job to do, which gave her even more reason.
