Chapter 37 The other moment is the same as this moment
In Jingjiang Houyan Mansion, Lin Zhixiu's only aunt, Lin Jiangwan, was in her own spacious and luxurious main house, listening to Nanny Li next to Mrs. Lin.
According to her age, she is almost in her prime. But she looks very young.
She is really good-looking, with a long round face, a beautiful forehead outlined by her hairline, two dark curved eyebrows, a pair of phoenix eyes, a slender nose, and lips that are neither thin nor thick.
Her skin is delicate and fluorescent, her cheeks are rosy, and her eyes are clear. Although there seem to be one or two fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, they don't look old, but add some mature charm to her.
Even at home, she is not sloppy in her dressing. Every morning, it takes an hour from the time she wakes up to wash herself until she is dressed.
At this moment, she was sitting there, her back straight, her gray embroidered shoes stepping on the wooden pedal, her soft hands with long nails, holding a teacup, and she was filled with pride in her bones even if she didn't speak.
In terms of appearance and demeanor, she is much stronger than Lin Zhifang, who is also the eldest daughter.
When Lin Jiangwan was in her boudoir, her brother Lin Ji had a very good relationship with the current emperor. She had met him several times at home. With her talent and opportunities, it was not difficult to stay with the emperor. But at that time,
As a prince, he has plans and needs the support of the Queen Mother, so marriage is not independent. There are candidates for similar positions. If Lin Jiangwan enters the prince's palace, his status will be very low at first.
She was as bright as a thousand suns when she was a girl, and she was so proud. How could she be willing to give in? And the person she proposed to marry was really good.
The Yan family of Jingjiang Hou was from a hairpin family, with a strong family background and gentle parents-in-law.
Moreover, the Lin and Yan families have always been in contact, and her husband, Yan Jun, has known her since he was young. Even though the parents of both parties had the intention of getting married, it was only after Yan Jun and Lin Jiangwan fell in love with her that they agreed.
In terms of family background, Lin Jiangwan can be regarded as a high-married person. Moreover, Yan Junren is very decent in appearance and work, and the emperor also values it. So Lin Jiangwan was so satisfied with his ambitions, and he was well-known among the ladies of the capital.
character.
But in worldly affairs, if you have too much, you will always lose...
This kind of marriage also has flaws.
After Lin Jiangwan gave birth to her eldest daughter Lin Yun, she lost her stomach. She took medicine, prayed to Buddha, and looked for folk remedies. After struggling for a long time, she became pregnant again. She was born with full expectations, but she was still a daughter.
At that time, not to mention others, Lin Jiangwan's own disappointment was all obvious...
What's even worse is that after giving birth to her second daughter, there was no news from her body again. I tried every possible way, but to no avail. As the days passed, the eldest daughter was about to kiss her, but her belly was still weak.
There was no movement.
She had a childhood friendship with Yan Jun. Yan Jun loved her very much and promised her not to take concubines. Therefore, she didn’t even have a concubine in her name. Her husband was the heir, and the title would be passed on to him in the future, but to whom would he pass it on?
As for Yan Jun's second biological brother, there are only three legitimate children. Mrs. Yan's second wife may have some vague hopes in her heart, and her attitude has also changed. She began to dictate family affairs.
Lin Jiangwan was a little flustered, but she was used to being proud. Even her husband refused to tell her such concerns. Then she came up with an idea to let her eldest daughter Lin Yun be selected in the palace.
Lin Yun is beautiful and talented. If she stays in the palace, her status in the Yan family will not be shaken.
But at that time, the emperor was already in his thirties, and there were also queens and concubines.
Of course, Yan Jun is not willing to accept this idea! The Yan family has a high family status, and Lin Yun is the eldest daughter. How is this possible?! Not to mention that the emperor is older than him. The emperor's eldest son is older than Lin Yun.
…
Where should the Yan family put their face? What future does Yan Yun have?
He persuaded and persuaded Lin Jiangwan, and even showed his face to her for the first time after getting married, and even his parents-in-law came out to talk. Lin Jiangwan only suddenly thought of this idea, and did not really plan to do so, but the Yan family was excited
Her objection aroused her temper, and no one could resist her.
Yan Jun saw that the situation was not right, so he told the Lin family and asked the Lin family to persuade him.
After the Lin family found out, they were unwilling. Lin personally came to persuade Lin Jiangwan: The emperor has received a strict princely education since he was a child. He began to be exposed to government affairs at the age of ten, likes to do things, and does not attach much importance to women. In the harem, too,
There is no woman who is too favored, and I have never heard of any concubine who can influence the emperor's decision.
For example, Concubine Li in the palace was extremely beautiful. She found her from outside when the emperor was still a prince, and gave birth to five children for him. But so what? Until now, she has not even been given the title of concubine.
But Lin Jiangwan was arrogant and stubborn, and she had made up her mind. The more others persuaded her, the more biased and stubborn she became, and she sent her daughter to the palace insistently.
Thinking about the position that she didn't want to go to at the beginning, she now asked her daughter to go. As the saying goes, this time is also the other time.
Her daughter Yan Yun was indeed outstanding in appearance and talent. She stayed in the palace and directly granted the title of Jieyu. She became pregnant during the New Year and gave birth to the Ninth Princess, who was promoted to Zhaoyi, but after that...she did not get pregnant and gave birth to any more children.
In fact, the emperor really did what Lin Ji said, that's all he did when it came to sexual intercourse with women, and everything in the palace was handled according to the rules.
The Queen is the Emperor's first wife, and is one year older than the Emperor! She has never been in good health. She has been suffering from illness all year round and has been taking medicine. Her face is sallow and she looks old, but her noble status has not changed at all.
After the death of Concubine Pang, the imperial concubine seat has been vacant. The four concubine seats were also vacant after the death of Concubine Xian. For the two empty seats, the empresses fought openly and secretly, and the disputes continued. But the emperor seemed to have forgotten this matter, no
Don't ask.
Yan Yun got a princess and stayed in the Zhaoyi throne for several years. The emperor treated her well. If this continues, she will become old and sallow, so what future will she have?
Moreover, the position of Zhaoyi is somewhat lacking, and no one inside or outside the palace pays much attention to it. If you want the emperor to look at you differently, you have to find a way, not only to buy the clothes, but also to win over the people in front of the emperor. You have to show courtesy to the Queen Mother, and also
On the Queen’s birthday, give her an appropriate gift.
This requires money.
Moreover, Yan Zhaoyi has nine princesses. Although the treatment in the palace is good, if she wants the princess to be exquisite in all aspects, she has to buy her own silver items. Yan Yun’s dowry was originally based on Lin Jiangwan’s idea of purchasing the above-mentioned necessary things and discounts.
It turned into money. She entered the palace and it was not easy to take care of it, so she didn't have much property to generate money.
Isn’t that just sitting back and having nothing to gain?
The Yan family can only come to supplement the money. Originally, the Yan family was not short of money. When Lin Jiangwan went to the palace to arrange things, the men in the family didn't say anything, but as time went by, they couldn't stand the woman's worries. Especially in the past two years,
Mrs. Yan Er saw that Lin Jiang was unable to give birth to a son. This family would belong to her son in the future, so she couldn't just ignore everything, right?
Once, Yan Er's eldest son wanted to find a reason. Mrs. Yan Er had a problem and wanted Empress Zhaoyi to lend a hand... But how could Yan Zhaoyi have this ability?
So the family started to say strange things. Whenever money was given out, someone would always say something...
Lin Jiang's biggest shortcoming is that she is childless. She has a guilty conscience and is sensitive. When others tell her, she will think of Jiu. It was too ugly to make trouble, so she started to use her own dowry. But her dowry was made up for when her daughter entered the palace.
Quite a few, and after a long time, I felt a little overwhelmed.
In particular, she usually loves beauty and socializing, and spends a lot of money. Besides, where is her second daughter Yan Xin? She is so stubborn and unwilling to reach out to her husband too much. She couldn't bear it anymore, so she decided to go back to her parents' home.
, I started working hard when I returned to my parents’ home.
But my mother-in-law, Mrs. Yuan, is not a fuel-efficient person.
Old Mrs. Lin asked the family to give some money, but Yuan was not satisfied and could not persuade her husband, so she began to instigate the third master Lin Hui. Lin Hui knew that his married sister returned to her parents' home to play in the autumn wind. How could she do it? He had trouble with the old lady.
One game.
The old lady was afraid that Lin Hui would have a bad temper. If she broke up with Lin Jiangwan or Yan Jun, it would be ugly, so she would have to pay for it out of her own pocket. The old lady had several sets of expensive jewelry, which were extremely difficult to find and make.
of.
Then one time, Mrs. Lin took back a piece of jewelry from the old lady, but did not send it to the palace for a while. When she attended some event, she wore it as soon as she was happy.
But this set of jewelry, Yuan's thief, had secretly taken a look at it.
Yuan was the eldest son and daughter-in-law, and she also gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Lin family. She took it for granted that the things in the old lady's hands were all reserved for her. When she found "her" jewelry, she actually ran to Lin Jiang night
There was a big fuss when they arrived, and the relationship between Lin and Yuan has been a lot awkward since then.
This made Lin Jiangwan feel irritable. She didn't go back to Lin's house much recently, so she didn't know about Lin Zhixiu's return.
Old Mrs. Lin was scolded by her husband and shed tears. Her eldest daughter-in-law was so angry that she had no one to talk to. She thought of her eldest daughter. She asked Grandma Li to deliver a message to Lin Jiangwan. She wanted her to go home and follow her.
Chattering.
Yesterday, I received support from friends, which healed my gloomy mood.
Today I was resurrected with full blood.
It's the beginning of spring, friends! Spring is here.
