Chapter 302 Kong Jiayi's Sharp Mouth
In March, when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, Kong Jiayi has become busy, and it is because of Emperor Xuande's southern tour.Emperor Xuande will stay in Yangzhou for a few days with his concubines, princes and important ministers. As the wife of Lianghuai inspector Shi Linhai, the accompanying concubines will definitely summon her.
What made Kong Jiayi feel at ease was that the highest-ranking concubine was not Concubine Zhen De but Concubine Mei. Even if Concubine Zhen De wanted to make things difficult for Kong Jiayi, Concubine Zhen De did not dare to let herself go too much in front of Concubine Mei.
Speaking of which, although they are all first-class imperial concubines, they have princes under them, but since ancient times, the four wives under this wife have been ranked according to "noble, virtuous and virtuous", so although the official position of the two is It's the same, but in fact, Concubine Mei Gui wants to firmly overpower Concubine Zhen De.
Obviously, isn't this good news for Kong Jiayi?
The next day, Kong Jiayi received news that besides Concubine Mei and Concubine Zhen, among the concubines accompanying the emperor on his southern tour were Concubine Liu, Gao Shurong, Sun Xiurong, Jiang Ronghua and others.Others are fine, this Concubine Liu is the cousin of Emperor Xuande's second Empress Liu, the aunt of the Fifth Prince.Maybe it's because Empress Liu is the true love of Emperor Xuande. Although she didn't give birth to a boy and a half girl, her life in the palace was not sad.
On the third day, Kong Jiayi received the news that the accompanying concubines summoned them, the noble ladies of Yangzhou!
The little palace lady dressed as a court lady blessed Kong Jiayi and led her inside. Kong Jiayi smiled, thanked her in a low voice, and stuffed the little palace lady with the purse she had prepared in her hand.
The little maid did not refuse, she put her purse into her sleeve, and asked Kong Jiayi to wait outside, before she went inside to report.
Kong Jiayi took the opportunity to adjust his clothes, and looked at the place where Emperor Xuande's concubines were staying. People say that Yangzhou salt merchants are the most wealthy in the world, so this courtyard is naturally beautifully built.Not to mention the mansions of aristocratic families in the capital, they are even more chic and romantic.The pavilions, terraces and corridors are shrouded in the mist of willows, and various flowers and trees can be seen at the corners. From time to time, the spring breeze brings the petals of Qionghua down, and the fragrance bursts...
Soon, light footsteps were heard inside the curtain, and the little palace lady walked over with a fifteen or six-year-old big palace lady.
The little palace lady smiled and said to the big palace lady: "This is Lin Kongshi, the wife of the patrolling royal historian."
The palace lady nodded, looked at Kong Jiayi with a smile and said, "Madam Lin, please follow me, the imperial concubine is waiting for you."
Kong Jiayi nodded with a smile, then took out another purse and stuffed it to the empress.Only then did he lower his head slightly and followed the grand lady in, the voice inside stopped immediately, and four or five eyes fell on her.
Kong Jiayi lowered her head.Kneeling down to the noble concubine in the sound of the big palace lady's report, and then bowed to the concubine Zhen De and Liu Fei who were sitting on the left and right sides of the main seat under the guidance of the big palace lady, and then got up was given to sit.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of getting up, Kong Jiayi took the opportunity to glance left and right from the corner of her eye, and she was the only one there.This made Kong Jiayi feel relieved.Lin Hai is the most important official in Yangzhou City, if these concubines summoned the minister's wife, and he was not the first one to be summoned in Yangzhou, then it would be a big deal, at least in Yangzhou City.The attitude of these ladies towards Kong Jiayi will change immediately!
Although I know that Concubine Zhen De might find fault with her, as long as not all concubines find fault with her, that would be fine!At least from the current situation, Concubine Mei has no intention of finding fault with her.
Kong Jiayi did a good job in the ideological preparation class.
The maid at the side hastily moved the red sandalwood carved pier.Kong Jiayi thanked her for her seat, but she didn't dare to sit all the time, she just sat halfway with her back straight and listened to the concubines talking.
"Some time ago, I saw Sun Hanlin's wife in the capital. She was so beautiful. The empress and this palace were amazed. I didn't expect to see Mrs. Lin today. This palace only knows that there are people outside the world." The wife of Sun Hanlin mentioned by Concubine Mei is Kong Jiayi's niece Kong Mo. It is said that in the past, Yan Shenggong chose to choose, and finally chose Kong Mo the eldest son of the Sun family who is also a scholarly family in Shandong. Oh, yes, He is still the number one scholar in the criminal record, even higher than the Tanhua Lin Hai.
Kong Jiayi hurriedly said respectfully: "The concubine's concubine praised her absurdly. In front of the concubine's concubine, how dare the minister's wife call her a beauty? Besides, women value virtue and not appearance in housekeeping, and the minister's wife would like to hear the concubine's praise for her outstanding character."
But Kong Jiayi suddenly thought, aren't the Mei family and the Sun family related by marriage?No wonder it will give her face.Sure enough, this world is an era of fighting for parents and mothers and relationships.
"Hehehe, Mrs. Lin is really good at talking." Concubine Mei covered her skirt and smiled, her big phoenix eyes glistening. She was wearing a rose-purple beanie, with a gold-studded ruby dripper on her head. chuckled, drawing a dazzling light.Coupled with the fact that the phoenix eyes are slightly upturned, it is obviously the time when the spring breeze is in full swing.
"You can't be praised by your mother!" Kong Jiayi smiled.
"Mrs. Lin is self-effacing! I have heard people talk about Mrs. Lin's beauty a few years ago, and I am really impressed by seeing her today. No wonder Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin haven't seen a concubine after so many years of marriage." It was Concubine Zhen who was sitting on the left of the main seat. She was in her 30s, but because of proper maintenance, she looked no more than 25 years old, with a slightly plump body and a full moon face.
Are you in trouble?
Kong Jiayi smiled slightly, "Thank you, Empress Defei, for your compliment." Regarding what Concubine Zhen De said about Lin Hai not accepting concubines, Kong Jiayi was not ashamed but proud. Since Lin Hai didn't even want to take concubines, why would she do that? Your virtuousness!Isn't this looking for anger for yourself?
Moreover, after getting used to Lin Hai's style, Kong Jiayi felt that the way men have three wives and four concubines is completely a woman's habit!I didn't see that Lin Hai, who had only her as his wife, was still alive and well, and he didn't see any missing arms or legs.
"Look at what Sister Defei said, people who don't know may think Mrs. Lin is jealous, she is obviously very affectionate." Gao Shurong covered her mouth and said with a smile.
As for Gao Zhaorong, she is the daughter of General Zhenwei, but her luck is a bit unlucky.Back then, she and Concubine Zhen De passed through one after the other. The first concubine was the concubine, and then Emperor Xuande's favor for the two was similar, and they were promoted to Zhao Rong from the third rank together, and then together with Concubine Zhen De She was pregnant, but for some reason she had a miscarriage, while Concubine Zhen De gave birth to the tenth prince.
From now on, this status will be different!In the end, Gao Shurong could only sit on the position of the second rank because of her family background, and Emperor Xuande didn't particularly favor her!As for Concubine Zhen De, she took the position of first-rank and fourth concubine in one fell swoop, even though she was not favored very much now, but there was still the tenth prince under her.
So Gao Shurong began to feel unbalanced. When she and Concubine Zhen De were together, it was like the tip of a needle facing the wheat.
Concubine Zhen De glanced at Gao Shurong with sharp eyes, although Gao Shurong didn't speak again, she still had a smile on her face, as if she couldn't feel Concubine Zhen De's annoyance at all.Perhaps Gao Shurong was happy to see such a thing happen!
Kong Jiayi also pretended not to know Concubine Zhen De's true intentions, and said to Gao Shurong with a smile: "I can't deserve the praise of Empress Shurong. Although the minister's wife and husband's love can't be said to be deep, but husband and wife can still have it."
As soon as Kong Jiayi said this, Concubine Zhen De choked, but a light flashed in Gao Shurong's eyes.
However, it is obvious that Concubine Zhen De, who can become a first-rank concubine from a small concubine in the palace, will not be defeated so easily. With a flash of her eyes, she said: "Mrs. Lin just said that I want everyone to praise you." You have outstanding moral character, why don't you think more about Master Lin? How about taking a few girls to help you serve Master Lin?"
Concubine Zhen De received a letter from her father a long time ago. Lin Hai and his wife are nothing, yet they dare to bully the Zhen family and dare to bully her. Today she is going to add trouble to the Lin family and his wife!
As soon as Kong Jiayi heard Concubine Zhen De's words, she immediately knew her plan, but unfortunately, her wishful thinking was not precise enough, and Kong Jiayi said with the corner of her mouth upturned: "Ms. Apart from the servants, there are quite a few people serving, women and maidservants as well as attendants, at least ten or twenty people, how can there be no one serving?"
Concubine Mei and Gao Shurong's eyes flashed a smile, but they immediately lowered their eyelashes to hide it.
Concubine Zhen De looked at Kong Jiayi coldly, and was about to speak, but unexpectedly Kong Jiayi said, "Besides, Empress De Concubine, you come from a family of meritorious service, so naturally you don't know the rules of our scholarly family. After the incident of a loving mother and a lot of losers came out, the little master had to move out at the age of six, and at the age of twelve or thirteen, it was a good age to study hard, in order to prevent some big-hearted maids from doing things that would insult the family. Come out, so except for the mother-in-law, no maids are allowed to get close to them, and the servants will serve them."
As for what happened after growing up, before Kong Jiayi said anything, Concubine Zhen De was already very angry!
What is a naked slap in the face, this is it.
How Concubine Zhen De entered the palace, everyone present knew in their hearts that it was not once when Emperor Xuande was on a tour to the south, she climbed the wall of Emperor Xuande.
Kong Jiayi said that you were from a meritorious family and didn't understand the rules of the scholarly family, so he immediately classified the Zhen family into the nouveau riche.
Don't think that Kong Jiayi doesn't have such a big influence, she is the daughter of Yan Shenggong, and her words and deeds are extremely sought after by the world, especially the ladies in Shenjia middle school, and even if there is nothing in Jiangnan Yes, there is one more thing, and that is the arrogance of a literati.
The style of writing in the south of the Yangtze River is particularly important, which is why the literati in the court are divided into groups according to the north and south.
