The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

Chapter 303 The Mighty Mrs. Lin

This literati looked down on military generals, of course not all meritorious families were from military generals, but most of them were right!And now that the Feng Dynasty has gone through several dynasties, civil servants with titles can be said to be very rare, so the current family of meritorious service is equal to the military officer!

But there is no loophole in Kong Jiayi's words, even if it is someone else's fault, then there is nothing wrong with Kong Jiayi!The rules of each family are different, and the Lin family originally followed this, and Kong Jiayi is not afraid of others to investigate.

Concubine Zhen De's complexion is not right, but it does not mean that other people's complexion is not good. It is a person who has not participated in the general election, but can win Emperor Xuande's favor, which makes these concubines in the harem feel very comfortable.In the past, when Concubine Zhen De was favored, I will not talk about it. Those who can survive in the palace are smart people, so no one goes to the top, but now Concubine Zhen De is clearly out of favor, so some people with full confidence , it popped up!

No, Concubine Liu said with a smile: "The rules of the Scholar's House should be more, and it's understandable if Sister De Concubine doesn't know." The Empress Dowager loves Elder Concubine De, and gave her all the personal nuns around her to Elder Concubine De."

On the surface, these words are complimenting Concubine Zhen De, but in fact, they are actually hurting Concubine Zhen De!The old people in the palace don't know that the queen mother was very dissatisfied with Concubine Zhen De's entry into the palace, but Emperor Xuande was not her own son, and she could have the honor of the queen mother because of the face given by Emperor Xuande, so she didn't like it. Dare to make trouble very fiercely, but still gave Concubine Zhen De no face.

Let the nanny next to him go down and hand over the rules of the palace to Concubine Zhen De, and the reason is good enough, and Concubine Zhen De has not passed the general election, so she might not know the rules of the palace.You can't say something like 'one who doesn't know is not guilty' after she got into trouble!

Concubine Zhen De put on a cold face, and glanced at Concubine Liu, although she was annoyed that Concubine Liu didn't give her face like this, but there was a sense of desolation again, this is the reality of women in the harem!Once there is a sign of falling out of favor, it doesn't matter if you sit in a high position, the people below are eager to pull you down all the time!Now that she has not completely fallen out of favor, these people dare to do this. If she falls out of favor, the harem will be like this Concubine Zhen De can hardly imagine.

But Concubine Zhen De is obviously not so easy to defeat.She still has a hole card, which is the Tenth Prince, as long as there is the Tenth Prince.She still has a chance to stand up.After adjusting her emotions, Concubine Zhen De smiled and said to Concubine Liu: "Sister Concubine Liu is worthy of being from a scholarly family. Naturally, she is much better than me in terms of rules. But I have never heard of it. , there is a rule in the Scholar's House that men are not allowed to take concubines." The last sentence was said to Kong Jiayi brightly!

to be honest.Concubine Zhen De's goal today is not on other people, but on Kong Jiayi.Except for Concubine Mei Gui and Kong Jiayi's close relationship, neither the Lin family nor the Kong family were familiar with the other concubines' natal families.

Both Concubine Liu and Concubine Gao Shurong are smart people, they just used Kong Jiayi's words to make fun of Concubine Zhen De, but asked them to speak for Kong Jiayi.As it stands now, it's not enough.There are no princes and daughters under them, as long as they are careful not to be suppressed in the future.There is still a life of prosperity and wealth in the second half of my life.

However, Kong Jiayi didn't expect them to help her speak, so facing Concubine Zhen De's question, she said calmly: "Ms. De Concubine is just joking, my wife only knows three obediences and four virtues."

What does it mean to only know the three obediences and four virtues? The three obediences are obeying the father before marriage, obeying the husband after marriage, and obeying the son when the husband dies.The four virtues are women's virtue, women's speech, women's appearance, and women's work.

What is the 'women's words'?

Women's words refer to women's words.

"Book of Rites. Hunyi": "Teach women's virtues, women's words, women's appearance, and women's work." Zheng Xuan's note: "Women's words. Rhetoric." And speaking, don't speak bad words, talk later, don't get tired of others, that's what women say." Chapter [-] of "Biography of Heroes of Sons and Women": "Women's words... must be strict in speech, unsmiling, not saying what's inside, but not talking outside. I can't say anything; if I always say one word, it's the word 'Zhenjing'."

"The Book of Songs? Daya" scolds Queen You of Zhou Baosi as "a woman who has a long tongue, but only a sharp one" (a woman with a long tongue is the culprit of the country's subjugation).It is said that "the eloquence will overthrow the country" (a woman who can speak eloquently will subvert the country).

Even among the big families, women who hate words and sow discord among family members the most, and women who talk too much and talk endlessly will be punished, which constitutes one of the "seven outs".

Concubine Zhen De kept pressing this question, wasn't she just talking too much?

Everyone was still able to react at first, but when they thought about it deeply, they immediately realized it!Although the woman's words did not say that the imperial concubine should not question ministers and wives, but someone like Concubine Zhen De who grabs people and does not let go, can barely speak, breaking the woman's words.

The most housekeeping thing is, what is Concubine Zhen De's title?

Germany!

What did Kong Jiayi mean when she said this? What she meant when she thought about it deeply was that Concubine Zhen De was not worthy of being a concubine of virtue at all. A person who can even commit the four virtues of a woman, what qualifications would she have to be in this position? Known as 'De Fei'.

The concubines present did not speak, but were secretly startled in their hearts. This Kong Jiayi was worthy of being Yan Shenggong's first daughter, and she simply cursed without using dirty words, and every time she talked about other people's vital points.

Look, she has answered Concubine Zhen De several times so far.

For the first time, the Zhen family was classified as an upstart family. After these words spread, all civil officials in Jiangnan will be able to respect the Zhen family. Anyone who wants to be in the circle of Jiangnan civil officials must abide by the rules. Unspoken rules here.And the biggest unspoken rule in the Jiangnan literati circle is - to be arrogant and not to bow down for five buckets of rice.

The second time, Concubine Zhen De was said to be a person who does not respect women and obeys the three virtues.

Although this is not a clear statement, it is because it is not a clear statement. Even if Concubine Zhen De wants to find an excuse to punish Kong Jiayi, there is no excuse. She didn't say anything, you can't reply, you don't know the three obediences and four virtues!Or to put it another way, the three obediences and the four virtues are a fart!

Then it's not just about offending the Lin family and the Kong family, it's offending the entire Qingliu and all the literati in Fengchao.

However, it is clear that Kong Jiayi is still planning to completely disrespect Concubine Zhen De. After all, she still has a prince. Although Lin Hai told Kong Jiayi that the tenth prince has no chance of ascending to the big position, Kong Jiayi thinks it is better to stay in line. Better.

So he laughed and said: "All the ladies don't know, but the ministers only know the truth of marrying and obeying their husbands. It's not that the ministers don't want to take concubines for their husbands, but the husbands don't want to. A husband is a minister. Damn my wife, my wife said that my wife should respect me, and my wife can't force him to do things that my husband doesn't want to do! Please say yes to the imperial concubine and the moral concubine!"

This sentence made everyone present envy and hate!

In terms of background, no one present could compare to Kong Jiayi. If it weren't for the tacit understanding between the Kong family and the royal family, the Kong family would never marry a daughter into the royal family, and the royal family would never marry a girl from the Kong family. There is more to be said.

Even if the concubines' natal families present were prominent for a while, they couldn't compare with Yan Shenggong Kong's family, who had been prominent for thousands of years.

Furthermore, when Kong Jiayi was still a girl, she was the only daughter-in-law of the Kong family for three generations. After receiving all kinds of favors, she never expected to get married. This husband is also so good. Like a day, he has never messed with flowers or grass.

This makes a group of women who share the same husband, how can they stand it!

man!They are all emotional animals. As soon as this sentence came out, even Concubine Mei, who had been watching the show and had a good impression of Kong Jiayi, showed jealousy towards Kong Jiayi, let alone other people!

But Kong Jiayi said a lot. In ancient times, men were women's heaven, and only men forced women. Wherever women forced men, Concubine Zhen De wanted to object, but she had nothing to say, and it was not Kong Jiayi's. Wrong, obviously Lin Hai didn't want to take concubines.

And everyone can't talk about whether Lin Hai has a problem with his body. From the fact that Kong Jiayi gave birth to two boys and one girl, it can be seen that Lin Hai's body is fine. More importantly, Lin Hai is now the favorite general of Emperor Xuande. If Lin Hai is slandered , Isn't this making Emperor Xuande unhappy?People who make trouble for the emperor generally do not end well.

"Mrs. Lin is right. As a woman, her husband and her children are the most important tasks. I heard that Mrs. Lin has another daughter, so why didn't she bring her here today!" Concubine Mei changed the subject calmly. Well, if this topic continues, it will not be something these women can talk about!Of course, if Concubine Zhen De was desperate to pursue her, then Concubine Mei would not mind making the Emperor hate her even more.

Don't think that Concubine Mei doesn't know what Concubine Zhen De and the Zhen family are planning, no one in the harem is a fool, what Concubine Mei wins Emperor Xuande's heart most is knowledge.

Concubine Mei knew her position very well and never crossed the line, so Emperor Xuande loved her as always.

Do you want to say that Concubine Mei Gui and the Mei family have no further ambitions?

Saying no, but lying.

But Emperor Xuande told everyone with his own actions that he only valued his sons, even if the eleventh princes born to Concubine Mei Gui were still sons in name, not sons.

Therefore, both the Mei family and the Mei family knew that as long as Concubine Mei did not become a queen, and the eleventh prince did not become a legitimate son, they would not be able to have further ideas.
