Chapter 289 Doting on a Concubine and Destroying a Wife in a Wife 37
In the fiftieth year of Kangxi's reign, Yue Xing'a took part in the provincial examination of Shuntian Prefecture and won the imperial examination. Although he ranked seventh, it was still very rare for a fifteen-year-old boy to be elected.
Even for a noble family like the Tong family, the children and grandchildren do not need to take the imperial examination, but they all know the benefits of studying and studying. It is always good for future generations to make progress and study to achieve success.
Tong Guowei has been idle at home since he was dismissed from office at the end of [-]. He is almost [-] years old. In his early years, he followed the army to Galdan several times. He suffered several injuries on his body. They were not visible before, but now they are all visible. When I am free, all kinds of illnesses come to my door.
The most important thing is that after two years of leaving the court, the emperor never showed any intention of resurrecting him. Tong Guowei understood that he had already lost the heart of the emperor's nephew and would never have the chance to stand in front of the court again.
Once a person understands something and loses the energy that has been supporting it, he will grow old very quickly.
Previously, Tong Guowei only had a few silver strands on his head, but in the past two years, his hair has turned completely white. The braids on the back of his head are getting thinner and thinner, and there are more and more wrinkles on his face. New ones will appear every once in a while. Age spots appear on the face.
The old man was very happy about Yue Xing's success in the imperial examination. Among the third generation of the Tong family, this grandson was the only one who could catch Tong Guowei's eyes.
Not only Tong Guowei of the Tong family is showing his age, but even the Great Hershey has become more willful as he gets older.
It was a good thing that Yue Xing'a passed the imperial examination, but on this happy day, the Great Hershey gave Yue Xing'a two girls who were married to him, saying that they would keep them by his side to avoid being seduced by outside women in the future. Bad study.
The Great Hershey mentioned this more than a year ago, but Lin Hui refused with the excuse that Yue Xing'a wanted to concentrate on preparing for the exam. Unexpectedly, this time the Great Hershey directly passed her and sent the person to Yue Xing'a. Lin Hui couldn't bear it anymore.
Fortunately, Yue Xing'a was raised by Lin Hui since he was a child, and he has grown into a good and thoughtful young man. Although he grew up in Jinxiu, surrounded by three wives and four concubines, he was not affected. , and does not approve of this behavior.
Yue Xing'a had long seen the disadvantages of having too many wives and concubines from the family affairs around him. There were several brothers in the family who had different mothers, and each had his or her own plans, so they could not work together.
Moreover, quarrels between wives and concubines are the source of chaos in the family. Men suffer, and children suffer. It can be said that there are hundreds of harms but no benefits. If there is any benefit, it is just to satisfy the man's lust.
As far back as Yue Xing'a can remember, he saw Ama paralyzed on the bed, unable to move. The servants in the house were very secretive about the cause of Ama's paralysis, and the elders were unwilling to mention it. But when Yue Xing'a got a little older, , I still got the general idea of what happened from the old man in the house. It turned out that his Ama was like this because of women.
Originally, Ama had a bright future, but at the age of twenty-three, he became a first-class bodyguard and an envoy. Although it was due to the Tong family's family affairs, there were so many descendants of the Tong family, and not everyone had such a good fortune. My Amma’s talent prevailed.
But the young and promising Amma fell into such a situation because of a woman and an outside wife. Do you dare to say that women are not the source of chaos in the family? Look at the other heads of the Tong family. Anyone who has many wives and concubines will never have peace. of.
On the contrary, his cousin and teacher Fahai only lived with his first wife. They had been married for many years and had always been harmonious and loving. Their children were all smart and sensible, and the family was harmonious.
It was because he had been belittled and ostracized by his direct brothers, and because his biological mother was not allowed to be as dirty as the Tong family's ancestral grave when she died, that Fahai moved out of Cheng'en Palace and started his own business.
This may seem like a dispute between brothers, but in reality it is still a misfortune caused by wives and concubines. After seeing so many examples, Yue Xing'a has long stopped dreaming about the blessings of bringing people together.
He is determined to occupy a place in the court in the future and do something for the country and the people. He will never allow unrest in his backyard to disrupt his official career.
Now he still has to study and prepare for the exam in order to stand out in the next year's exam, so he will not accept his grandmother's so-called kindness.
However, Yue Xing'a did not send the person back to the Great Hesheli family. Instead, he went to find his grandfather and expressed his intention to study hard. It was really not suitable for a woman to be close to him and he could not accept his grandmother's kindness.
When Tong Guowei heard about this, he was furious and scolded his old wife for being confused. It would be fine if the grandson was lustful and lustful. Now that the child wants to make progress, why bother to create obstacles for the child in such a matter.
So, when Lin Hui rushed over to deal with it, the two girls were no longer there. They stayed in Yue Xing'a's courtyard for less than an hour, and were taken away before their buttocks were even hot.
This incident made Lin Hui hate the Great Hershey even more. Although the Great Hershey has not taken advantage of her over the years, but has often suffered, she has also relied on her mother-in-law's natural advantageous status. Adding trouble to Lin Hui.
However, in addition to being mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the two of them also have an aunt-nephew relationship and share the same natal family, which makes Lin Hui easily unable to touch her.
In the past few years, Lin Hui's parents have passed away one after another. The great Hershey's affection for her mother's family has become weaker and weaker, and she rarely visits once a year. In addition, Lin Hui's two nieces just married into ordinary clans, and their titles are not obvious. , this natal family has even less weight in her heart.
Fortunately, Su Hetai, the adopted heir of the Hesheli family, was quite motivated and passed the imperial examination two years earlier than Yue Xing'a. This made Lin Hui's sister-in-law Xitala very happy.
Her parents-in-law passed away, and her two daughters got married. Now the Hitara family only lives with their heir. Fortunately, this child is still close to her, and he is willing to study and make progress. He will be able to support the family in the future, and it will not be in vain to support him. .
At the end of the year, Lin Hui's cheap nephew Su Hetai got married to the niece of the Hitara family.
Lin Hui could understand her approach. Even if the heir was not her biological son, her niece would always be close to her. When it came to treating Su Hetai, the aunt and nephew were natural allies and would not betray each other easily.
This can be regarded as the last guarantee given by the Xitaras to themselves.
However, although Lin Hui understands, it does not mean that she can accept this approach.
In her heart, she always had the deep-rooted modern idea that when her son got married, he would have his own family. Unless necessary, she should not interfere too much in the affairs of the couple.
As for Yue Xing'a's marriage, Lin Hui had actually already had some ideas about it, but the time was not ripe yet and it was hard to make it public.
The woman's family is a scholarly family, and the children are either studying or working as officials. The Tong family's reputation alone may not make the other party agree to the marriage. They have to wait for Yue Xing'a to pass the imperial examination and gain some status before making a proposal.
