Chapter 30 030 A vase cannot be the mistress of a wedding. …
Xianyu was frightened by Yuanchun's sudden action and thought that she had accidentally spoken out her true feelings.
But looking at other people's expressions, they seemed very natural, doing what they were supposed to do. It didn't seem like they were reacting to something shocking she had just said.
This is very strange. Even if she really let the secret slip, it couldn't be that Yuanchun was the only one who heard it, right?
Feng Jieer was clearly sitting with both of them, so why didn’t we see anything wrong with her expression?
So, this is all just a coincidence?
Xianyu was muttering to herself, and before she had time to think about what was going on, Yuanchun seized the opportunity to continue talking.
In fact, once this kind of thing is started, it is easy to continue.
Yuanchun had been feeling very miserable recently, and Xianyu's scandal was just the last straw that broke the camel's back.
As for why Yuanchun is suffering, the problem lies with her mother, Lady Wang.
Before this, Xianyu had learned about Mrs. Wang’s life through System 003. Although she felt a little sympathetic towards her learned helplessness caused by oppression and ineffective resistance, she was just a bystander after all, so she could make such a rational judgment.
If you ask the people involved, such as Miss Yuanchun and Brother Jia Zhu, how they feel about their mother, Lady Wang, the siblings will definitely be able to write you several short essays.
Because of this feeling, it's really quite complicated.
First of all, as a mother, it would be unfair and objective to say that Mrs. Wang has no merits at all.
After all, Jia Zhu and Yuanchun, brother and sister, are both Lady Wang's biological children, and they are the first son and daughter. What's more, these two children are very talented, so they must be spoiled.
Indeed, when the two children were young, they were spoiled to their heart's content.
But after enlightenment, things are completely different.
As the saying goes, "want your son to become a dragon" and "want your daughter to become a phoenix", this is not a problem that only modern people have, it is an "old disease" passed down since ancient times.
Mrs. Wang was obviously deeply infected with this disease.
Specifically, for her eldest son Jia Zhu, she was like an expert in pushing her child to study. Every day when she opened her eyes, she would urge the child to study.
Jia Zhu was really amazing. He actually managed to withstand the pressure. He studied hard for ten years and finally passed the imperial examination and became a scholar at the age of fourteen.
This record is very impressive no matter where you put it - anyway, many white-haired old students said that they had taken exams all their lives but never passed the exam to become a scholar, while many people passed the exam when they were still children. It's really true that people have different destinies, and the gap between people is really huge.
After he passed the examination and became a scholar, Mrs. Wang felt that her way of raising her son was right, but she also felt sorry for her son's hard work in studying, so she thought of rewarding her son.
Unfortunately, the reward methods she could think of were too simple and crude.
Because her method is to find a wife for her own son...
It's really a straightforward and straight-to-the-point approach.
The problem is that the room comes with a concubine and a wife.
Her son also started having sex when he was twelve or thirteen years old. When fifteen-year-old Li Wan got married last year, the two personal maids who had served Jia Zhu were made concubines.
It was impossible for her to have a concubine as she was afraid that it would not sound good if it were made public. Also, she was thinking of buying him one or two concubines when Jia Zhu passed the imperial examination. The maids were all born at home and she was afraid that Jia Zhu would get tired of them and lose interest in them.
Mrs. Wang had thought of all this, but she had no idea what Jia Zhu was thinking. She also had no idea that because he had been forced to study for a long time, Jia Zhu's mentality had become distorted, and he was silently preparing a big move, ready to kill himself in one go... This is a later story, and it hasn't happened yet. Xianyu didn't even think of going to System 003 to gossip first, mainly because her focus now was still on Yuanchun.
If Jia Zhu is a tragedy caused by a strict and loving mother who pushed her child too hard, then Yuanchun is another story.
Mrs. Wang gave all her severity to Jia Zhu, but gave all her love unconditionally to Yuanchun.
After all, the son is the one to rely on in the future, so he must stand out and bring honor to the family. Two years ago, Master Jing, who lives next door, passed the imperial examination and shocked the whole family. Of course, he did not become an official in the court, but became a monk in a Taoist temple, which shocked the whole family even more. But at least he passed the high school entrance examination.
It’s not a juren yet, it’s a jinshi.
That is to say, he went directly to take part in the palace examination and caught the eye of His Majesty.
What a bullshit this is!
Looking at their Rongguo Mansion, Master She is a hopeless case, not to mention her own husband, Master Zheng, who didn't even take the imperial examination and simply "begged" for a small official position as a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Works based on the old man's dying will.
It's so funny that it's killing me.
Therefore, Mrs. Wang, who had been strong-willed all her life, gritted her teeth and tried her best to torment Jia Zhu, just to encourage him to take the imperial examination and build his family.
But when it comes to Yuanchun, she is treated differently.
Mrs. Wang spoiled Yuanchun almost mindlessly. Specifically, she raised her with fine clothes and delicious food since she was a child, and spoiled her like a precious baby. She was allowed to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting if she wanted to, and it didn't matter if she didn't want to learn. She raised her like a treasure, and indeed, Yuanchun turned out to be a naive and innocent girl.
If the family can protect her, there is nothing wrong in being a naive and innocent rich girl.
The problem is that the Jia family is no longer doing well.
It was not the same grand scene as when the Dukes of Ning and Rong were alive. Back then, the Jia family was indeed wealthy.
But it was only limited to that year.
When Jia Min was still a little girl, she was considered to have caught up with the tail end, so later, more than 20 years later, Mrs. Wang was still talking to Jia Min's daughter, Xiao Daiyu, about her mother's status in the Jia family when she was still a married woman - what is a real noble lady? Jia Min is it.
To be a beautiful woman in the world, one must first be rich.
Without sufficient financial resources, you are nothing.
It's a pity that Yuanchun lived in a period of time when she was nothing, which was really miserable.
How did that sentence go?
She is not destined to be rich, but suffers from rich diseases. This is what she is like.
But others did it themselves, but Yuanchun's case was mainly caused by her mother, Lady Wang - no, what kind of family are we, to dare to train our daughter to be a good-for-nothing? Not the kind of high-end good-for-nothing who is wise but appears foolish, but the real good-for-nothing who can't see anything, can't even understand the other person's expression, and yet thinks he is very capable...
When you're at home, of course everything is fine, but once you go out, it's all over.
Yuanchun started attending gatherings of the capital's powerful circles very early on, but even though the old ladies and wives in other families could see that she was a fool, no one said much. In any case, they would not choose her as their daughter-in-law.
Yes, the eldest daughter of the Jia family is pretty, but what's the use of just being pretty? A better family would marry her home to be a housekeeper. As for this daughter, to put it bluntly, even if someone sold her, she could still help count the money.
If the family status was higher, it would not be necessary to choose a consort or a housekeeper to be worthy of the Jia family status and Yuanchun's status as the eldest daughter of a duke's mansion. He could appreciate Yuanchun's beauty, but he felt that it was not worth giving up marrying into a more powerful family just for such beauty.
To put it simply, people look down on the Jia family and think they are not strong enough.
To sum up, you can't reach a high level, and you can't settle for a low level.
As a result, Yuanchun's marriage became a little awkward.
In addition, the Jia family was planning to send her to the palace, but she herself knew nothing about it and was not mentally prepared for the increasingly stringent rules and requirements, so her life became more and more difficult.
Today, by chance, she heard Xianyu's thoughts and knew that in the future she would be devoted to Master Kang and become his nth beauty. She would probably waste her time in the deserted harem. This made her even more at a loss.
Therefore, that cry for help was truly a cry from her heart.
She really didn't have a close friend with whom she could talk about this matter - well, she did have one such friend, and that was the little sister of the Ulanara family.
Unfortunately, the little girl Ulanara herself is still in trouble - she will go to the Imperial Household Department for a selection next spring. Although her father is the prominent infantry commander Fei Yanggu, this does not guarantee that she will not be sent to the emperor's bed.
No matter what, the first priority of the Imperial Household Department's selection is to select a concubine for His Majesty. As long as she goes, there will be this risk...
Therefore, the two sisters were at a loss as to what to do. Apart from comforting each other, they could not come up with any substantial solution.
The appearance of Xianyu gave Yuanchun a little hope, so she couldn't wait to send out the distress signal.
And Xianyu did not disappoint her, because she quickly came up with a solution.
Of course, it’s the voice of the heart that is used.
After all, Xianyu herself knew that if she really spoke out her thoughts, they would be too shocking.
So, on the surface, she always pretended to be indifferent and quiet, but in her heart she had completely transformed into the Roaring Emperor.
[No! Sister! If you don't want to enter the palace, why don't you just find someone to marry? Your family is not from the banner, so you don't have to participate in the selection. Of course, you can marry yourself. ]
[Even if you want to play big, you can also enter a prince's palace or something. After all, the backyard of a prince's palace is easier to get into than the inner palace.]
[But I really don't recommend this, because with your innocent personality, the palace can't understand it. It's better to find an honest child with a simple family relationship to marry... But you must not help the poor. ]
[As for who is more suitable, remember not to ask your mother, Lady Wang. Asking your grandmother, Lady Jia, is not a sure thing either. If that doesn't work, asking the head lady of your family to take the position is a solution. Although Youshi is young, she seems to have a clear mind. I just don't know if she is willing to help you.]
Yu, who was still standing by while inspecting the site, said: "I must help." Emma, why do I feel that the days ahead will be very busy and fulfilling? But Madam Clan Leader, isn't this how it should be?
Nothing wrong.
With her confidence inadvertently boosted, Youshi quietly straightened her back a little, ready to let go and do something big - yes, even if she was not from a high family, she was now the wife of Jia Zhen. Giving birth to a son and being loved by her husband were nothing in front of power and status...
She now has a ready-made legitimate son, Jia Rong, and a bunch of collateral cousins who have to pay respects to her when they see her. This kind of life is just like a queen. Why did she live like a servant before? She must have lost her mind.
Now, everything is about to change. Watch me put the patriarch's wife in jail for you to see.
Why not, let’s start by settling my eldest sister’s marriage.
In this way, Xianyu's thoughts inadvertently changed the fate of the two women in the Jia family. What she didn't expect was that the fate of another person was also changed.
This person is Yuanchun’s good sister, the daughter of Fei Yanggu, a first-rank official and commander of the infantry, named Ulanara.
That is the original empress of Emperor Yongzheng in history, Empress Xiaojingxian, Ulanara.
