Chapter 142, Princess Wen Xian

In the 39th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, many things happened. Concubine Tong, Liangpin, and Hepin performed the canonization ceremony in the twelfth lunar month, and Princess Wen Xian was also officially granted marriage by the emperor. Just when the princess's mansion was completed, she could marry Shun'anyan.

This is also a rare benefit for the princesses of the Qing Dynasty. They have their own special princess's mansion and do not need to live in the Efu family as younger daughters-in-law. Of course, only princesses who stay in Beijing can get the treatment of opening the mansion. If they are polite, there will be no mansion, but they will increase their salary.

If you stay in Beijing, Princess Gulun’s annual salary will be 400 taels, 400 hu of rice, Princess Heshuo’s salary will be 300 taels and 300 hu of rice.

If you marry a vassal, Princess Gulun will have a salary of 1,000 taels of silver and 30 pieces of forging the plate. Princess Heshuo will have a salary of 400 taels of silver and 15 pieces of forging the plate.

Although the latter had a little more "salary", no princess was willing to marry thousands of miles away for this salary.

In this era, only the princess who stay in Beijing to marry can have their own property.

In fact, Lin Xianyu envies Wen Xian. Although she was born in this era of boyishness over girls, marrying the Tong family’s grandchildren may not be a good marriage, but as long as she is tough and in the capital, who dares to bully her?

But it’s a pity that Wen Xian has been gentle and soft since he was a child. The palace nanny also teaches the princess three obediences and four virtues.

Therefore, this marriage is destined not to be too happy.

Princess Wen Xian's marriage was being prepared in full swing. As the elder brother, the Fourth Master often took time to check the construction status of the princess's mansion and the preparation status of the princess's dowry. Even the candidates for the dowry nanny were intervened quietly. In this regard, Lin Xianyu walked away from the back door of Concubine Shuhui, and Concubine Shuhui went to ask the Queen Mother to make the decision.

As the princess' grandmother, the empress dowry was given to the princess and nanny, which was naturally justified, but the first few princesses and queen mothers didn't care much. If it weren't for the personal sister begging, the empress dowager would have probably not care.

For Wen Xian, this is also a favor, but Concubine De must be unhappy.

But, anyway, Concubine De has long disliked her and the Fourth Master. She doesn’t itch if there are too many lice, so Lin Xianyu doesn’t care.

Everything was being prepared in an orderly manner. In the twelfth lunar month of the 39th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Princess Wen Xian officially married.

Lin Xianyu finally got some leisure days, salted fish and cat winter.

In a blink of an eye, it was already the 40th year of Kangxi. After Princess Wen Xian got married, she had no major problems with her relationship with her, except for being a little distant.

Wen Xian's support for Shun Anyan did not often go to the princess's house to pay tribute, and Lin Xianyu was not surprised by this.

According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, the princess' identity is higher than that of the qualifying party. If a couple wants to have sex, they need to go to the princess's mansion to "please" him. Although the princess can also "summon" the qualifying party, no princess dares to take the initiative yet!

The spring of the 40th year of Kangxi was so warm that it was particularly late, and there was a light snow in February.

Lin Xianyu took Hongxu to Princess Wen Xian's house. When Lin Xianyu heard that Wen Xian had been feeling unwell recently, Lin Xianyu was really worried.

Wen Xian is actually not young anymore. She is considered late in this era, although she is less than 20 years old.

Wen Xian was a little in a bad mood at this moment. She was wearing a martened cloak and forced a smile, "I'm worried about my fourth sister-in-law. I just coughed a few times, it's nothing big."

Lin Xianyu sat on the chair beside him and couldn't help asking, "But because of it?"

Wen Xian was silent for a moment, then his eyes turned red. She suddenly grabbed Lin Xianyu's hand: "Sister-in-law, can you teach me? You and my fourth brother have been in love for many years. How did you make your fourth brother love you so much?"

Which girl doesn’t have a heart? What’s more, Shun’an Yan is very talented, knowledgeable, and appearance, regardless of family background.

Lin Xianyu said seriously: "The Fourth Master treats me well, not because I did something, but because your fourth brother is of great character, so he loves me as his wife." - In fact, the Fourth Master is inseparable from her. One is to value etiquette and law, and want to have a legitimate son, the second is to have a great help to the Fourth Master, and the third is to appreciate her talent and temperament. This third is precisely the least important point. So even if she has no children, she still has a stable position.

Wen Xian was stunned and then lowered his head, "Yes, although the Fourth Brother is serious, he is very good."

Lin Xianyu asked in a low voice: "Is Shun Anyan not good to you?"

Wen Xian shook his head quickly: "I respect me very much, but... maybe he is too busy, so..." Wen Xian bit his lip and didn't say much, but the meaning was obvious enough.

Of course, Shun Anyan dared not to respect the princess, but just treated Wen Xian coldly.

Although Wen Xian was a princess, she was even slightly inferior to her in terms of appearance. Her facial features were only considered to be correct. She was also educated by Concubine De since she was a child. She was accompanied by the needle and thread girl since she was a child, and only read dregs such as the female training girl.

How many creatures like men do not value appearance? What's more, Wen Xian has no talent.

Lin Xianyu sighed. If he was just treating coldly and not treating harshly, the Fourth Master would really not be able to stand up and support his sister.

Lin Xianyu had no choice but to try his best to enlighten Wen Xian: "You are a princess with a noble status. It is a great honor for him and their Tong family to marry Shun'anyan. Since they are still respectful to you, just treat each other with courtesy, and don't be too polite. Whether he comes or not, you are all princesses with gold and jade! Whether he or not, it will not have much impact on your status."

Hearing this, Wen Xian was shocked, "Sister-in-law... what do you mean?"

Lin Xianyu patted Wen Xian's slender shoulders: "I mean, you have to live a life straight! You can think that this forehead does not exist!"

Wen Xian was stunned, her eyes wide open, and she even stuttered, "I, how can I pretend that he doesn't exist? He, he is the only one who gave the marriage to Ama Khan!"

Lin Xianyu held his forehead, "I told you not to care too much about him! It is important to live happily in this world."

After hearing this, Wen Xian whispered: "But, my mother asked me to take good care of my husband and children... and asked me to win over my support, so I can help my fourteenth brother in the future."

After hearing this, Lin Xianyu's face suddenly darkened. She thought that Concubine De did not dare to disobey the emperor, and considered that marrying the Tong family was better than Fu Meng, so she did not object to this marriage. Unexpectedly, Concubine De actually made a calculation!

Lin Xianyu said angrily: "You are a princess, a master! Where is the reason why the master is humble and wins over slaves?!"

Wen Xian hurriedly covered Lin Xianyu's mouth, "Sister-in-law, what if this is heard?"

Fortunately, after Lin Xianyu came in, Wen Xian was sent back. Wen Xian originally wanted to ask his fourth sister-in-law how to win her husband's love, but he didn't expect to ask these amazing "teachings"!

Lin Xianyu said lightly: "What am I wrong? The emperor is the master, and the eight banners of Manchu, Mongolia and Han are all his slaves! You are the emperor's daughter! Even if you are erect, you are just your slave!"

Wen Xian was stunned: "After that being said, the Tong family is the mother of Khan Ama, and two queens have emerged one after another."

Lin Xianyu snorted, "So what?! Is it more noble than you, the princess?"

Wen Xian was silent again, "I understand what the fourth sister-in-law means. You told me not to live such a petty and make me tough."

"Well... it's almost the same." Lin Xianyu nodded, "If you live, you must first make yourself happy, and others are second to others." - She hopes that Wen Xian will live a little selfishly.

Wen Xian smiled, "Thank you, Sister-in-law, for your guidance."

Seeing her eyebrows stretched, although she might not have listened to them, it should still be of some use.

Lin Xianyu patted the back of her hand, "Don't let yourself be alone in the princess's mansion in the future, and you should come out and walk around from time to time."

As he said that, Lin Xianyu smiled and offered an invitation: "By the way, after a few days, the weather will be warmer. I'll take you to a farm in the suburbs of Beijing to relax?"

Although Wen Xian felt that it was not good for a married princess to go out, he was still a little moved when he thought about the scenery outside. He nodded and said softly: "It's all my opinion about my fourth sister-in-law."

Lin Xianyu looked at her soft bag and felt a sense of powerlessness. "Don't listen to me in everything. Ask yourself in everything. Don't always be wronged in everything! You can do whatever you want to do! If you can't do it in a straightforward manner, wouldn't you be too frustrated?"

Wen Xian couldn't help laughing: "I'm already very lucky compared to the sisters who Fu Meng."

Wen Xian hurriedly held Lin Xianyu's hand and his eyes were soft: "I always tired of marrying myself and my fourth sister-in-law is so worried. It's mine. It's nine out of ten that life is not satisfactory, because I am too sentimental. I will be more open-minded in the future."

Lin Xianyu, I’m not asking you to be generous, virtuous and tolerant! I’m asking you to despise you!!
