There are precedents in the history of the Red Chamber

The court meeting was not an occasion where one could talk about things seriously, and after Shi Zhongzhu made such a move, there were no ministers to come to the court, and the sage retreated logically.

With the support of Shi Bosong, Shi Zhongzhu slowly walked out of the Lizheng Hall. Shi Bosong explained to the concerned people with a serious face that his second brother was too sad and heartbroken.Everyone praised Shi Zhongzhu's noble qualities of upholding etiquette and emphasizing love and righteousness again, and left without waving his sleeves.

Only Shi Zhongzhu knew how tightly Shi Bosong was holding his hand, which might have turned blue. Shi Zhongzhu also knew that if he hadn't put all his weight on Shi Bosong, he would have collapsed on the ground immediately. It's after all.

Helping Shi Zhongzhu onto the carriage, Shi Bosong pulled his hand away, but Shi Zhongzhu grabbed it. Shi Bosong knew that his younger brother was really being coquettish, so he begged for forgiveness, sighed, and said, "Second brother, you are too risky."

Shi Zhongzhu knew that he was taking a risk, if he was not careful, the historians would also be implicated, but at this time, he showed a smile: "I won the bet, didn't I?"

Shi Bosong didn't say anything, leaned against the wall of the carriage, closed his eyes and meditated.After leaving the area of ​​Miyagi, Shi Zhongzhu first went to Wei's house, and Shi Bosong returned to Baolinghou's mansion.

When Shi Zhongzhu arrived at the Wei Mansion, the father-in-law who announced the decree had already been here. Wei Yan's judgment should be that he was demoted to a commoner, and the confiscated family property was also returned in full, but the loss in the middle cannot be counted.Wei Yan was injured on the night of the mutiny, and was imprisoned to hurt his vitality. When Shi Zhongzhu arrived, Wei Yan was ill in bed, and the Wei family was in the ward.

As soon as Shi Zhongzhu entered, Wei Yan asked Wei Jing and Wei Kang to kowtow to Shi Zhongzhu.Shi Zhongzhu hurriedly supported him, and said, "Uncle, what are you doing? They are all my brothers."

Wei Yan said harshly, "Let them kowtow, the grace of life is not enough in return, what's the matter with kowtow!" Shi Zhongzhu couldn't do it, so he asked his two cousins ​​to kowtow, and sat on the low stool beside the bed again, checking Wei Yan's injury.

At this time in the room, Wei Shishi was sitting on the edge of the bed, leaning to the left. After Wei Jing and Wei Kang kowtowed, they leaned next to Wei Shishi. Wei Zhenniang stood on the right, closest to Wei Yan. Shi Zhongzhu learned about Wei Zhenniang's situation at home.The Dayue Dynasty respected the right, and the Wei Shi family had been in the Wei family for many years. Regardless of whether it was public or private, he let Wei Zhenniang stand on the right to show respect for his original wife, but he did not say that Wei Zhenniang stood like this. Standing so alone, she knew that she was alone and helpless in this family.Thinking that she still took her late mother's dowry to keep the only blood of the Wei family, Shi Zhongzhu felt even more uncomfortable.

Shi Zhongzhu was sympathetic to Wei Zhenniang, but Wei Shishi was more concerned about it. When the historians sent Wei Kang back in the morning, Wei Shishi yelled at him, saying that his mother's family was caring, but it turned out that he was not in trouble. The servant of the historian drove away.Wei Zhenniang asked Shi Zhongzhu to take care of her youngest son with the dowry, of course Wei Shishi knew about it, but it was beneficial to him, at this moment, the Wei family could keep one of them, Wei Shishi really said no to Wei Zhenniang at this time She was so grateful that she regretted treating her coldly all these years.

Just after receiving the news, Shi Zhongzhu wrote a letter in the Lizheng Hall, saying bluntly, "Wei Yan, the guilty minister, has a secretary to determine the responsibility, but the minister dare not speak out. He has a daughter, and she is also engaged in a marriage contract." He was dissatisfied. The historians, Wei Jing and Wei Kang kept the blood of the historians, Shi Zhongzhu didn't say that they were the first, but worked hard on Wei Zhenniang, really, really forgot his roots!

Even though, Shi Zhongzhu's letter changed the Wei family from confiscating the family into exile to common people, Wei Shishi felt resentful, why should his natal family help Wei Zhenniang? !At this time, the touch of Wei Zhenniang's dowry guarantor was overwhelmed by resentment, and there was nothing left, only aggrieved.

Shi Zhongzhu checked Wei Yan's injury, and comforted him: "Uncle's wound has not opened again, and he was not infected in prison. Fortunately, as long as he cultivates well, he will recover in a short time."

Before Wei Yan could speak, Wei Shishi cried: "Master's body will recover soon, but when will the Wei family recover, the family of the Wei family for thousands of years... Also, there are my poor brothers Jing and Brother Kang Son, woo...Yaoyun, why don't you plead with the saint and let the old man be reinstated, so that your two cousins ​​can also have good backgrounds..."

"Nonsense, you..." Wei Yan stopped immediately, because Shi Zhongzhu was in the way, and he didn't want to criticize his aunt in front of Shi Zhongzhu. After decades of husband and wife, Wei Yan certainly knew what Wei Shi was crying about. It wasn't the future of the Wei family or the future of the son, it was Wei Zhenniang who was crying because she was better than her, she was in her tens of years, and she was so narrow-minded, Wei Yan didn't know what to say about her.

"Yaoyun has risked his life for writing this letter, do you want him to include all the historians?" Wei Yan asked.

"I...I...I just feel sorry for Brother Jing and Brother Kang..."

"Auntie, there are some things that can't be said, but can only be done. I use Zhenniang as an excuse, because it's not because of my aunt's family." Shi Zhongzhu explained, he still wanted to believe that it was his aunt who had undergone a big change, so he didn't choose what to say.As for whether Wei Zhenniang would be hurt by the first talk, Shi Zhongzhu looked up, Wei Zhenniang smiled, without any haze in his eyes, shook his head slightly, and signaled to Shi Zhongzhu that he was fine.

Wei Shishi's heart was blocked, he knew what he said was wrong, and he didn't mention it, and said, "Yaoyun, Auntie is just scared, don't take it to heart, these few days, you know..."

"I know." Shi Zhongzhu stretched his body and patted Wei Shishi's hand, "Auntie, I know everything."

The atmosphere made Wei Shishi's few words cold, Shi Zhongzhu said goodbye to Wei Yan, and said: "It's an eventful time here, I don't want to stay longer, uncle, in a few days, Yaoyun will visit again."

"Okay, let's go, the business is important, come again when you have time. Zhenniang, help send Yaoyun to my father." Wei Yan arrived.

"Brother Kang is thanks to Yaoyun for taking care of him, I haven't thanked Yaoyun properly yet, let Brother Kang send Yaoyun out together." Seeing that Shi Zhongzhu was about to leave, Wei Shishi hurriedly made amends, she originally wanted to express intimacy, But in this situation, it's like a rivalry with Wei Zhenniang.

As soon as he said it, Wei Shishi sensed something was wrong, and Shi Zhongzhu came to his rescue: "Brother Kang has suffered a lot these days, let him rest first, I am also familiar with Wei's mansion, I am the father-in-law's son-in-law, and so is Wei's mansion." half of my family."

Shi Zhongzhu resigned after finishing speaking. Wei Shishi knew that he had offended Shi Zhongzhu. You know, even if Shi Zhongzhu was engaged, he still called Wei Yan Wei Shishi's uncle and aunt. , It can be seen that there is a knot in my heart.

Wei Yan glared at Wei Shishi, and asked the nanny to take the two children down to rest first. The time for raiding the house was short, and the imperial decree of forgiveness came before it was the servant's turn to sell it, so the servants in the family were still there.

"Yaoyun is willing to take the risk to intercede with the Wei family, what do you think, do you have to offend him to be willing?" Wei Yan asked after the child left.

"I'm his aunt, how could he blame me!" Wei Shishi was not worried that Shi Zhongzhu would blame him, and Shi Ding is still the head of the family now, and she had a very good relationship with her two brothers before she got married.

"Confused!"

"Master, why am I confused. The Wei family is a thousand-year-old family. The historian saved us, and the reputation is even better. With prestige, it is easier to break into the circle of the family. He is not bad!"

Oh my god, Wei Shishi had such an idea.Wei Yan was speechless, who instilled such ideas in her, what kind of family, what kind of circle, and now the circle is falling apart, the Wei family now relies on the historian, even though the pride of the family made Wei Yan unwilling to admit it, but he He had to admit that this room was backed by Shi Ding.Now there are nearly a thousand people in the direct branch of the Wei family, why he can be ranked in the center, and become the censor of the left capital is because he has a good in-law.

Now that this hub of in-laws looks down on her natal family, Wei Yan almost wants to poke Wei Shishi's head off to see what she is thinking.

Shi Zhongzhu didn't know that his aunt, who was so considerate, wanted to use Shi Ding and filial piety to oppress him, and it was even more unexpected that Wei Shi's mind was still messing with the aristocratic family. If he knew... Huh!

The conversation was divided into two parts. When Shi Zhongzhu visited the Wei family, Shi Bosong was also teaching his wife behind his back.

Shi Bosong will return from the court, and Mrs. Xu is already waiting at the second gate. Don’t think that the news of the woman in the inner house is unintelligible. When encountering news that combines gossip and sensation like "Letter of Begging for Love", the news of the woman in the inner house will be the fastest .Seeing Shi Bosong, Xu's first question was: "Does the sage have dissatisfaction?"

Mrs. Xu also knew that the sage did not convict now, which does not mean that nothing happened. If the sage made a note in his heart, there would naturally be even more unlucky things in the future.

Shi Bosong didn't know how to take it, but now the servants are surrounded, where is the place to talk, Shi Bosong waved his hand, and said: "I'm very tired, go back to the room to wash up first."

Back in the room, Mrs. Xu kept mumbling: "What is the situation, tell me. My heart is at a loss, what is going on? Will it implicate you, will it implicate you? Bowling Marquis, Lord, you haven't taken the title yet, what if, what if the title is downgraded?"

Mrs. Xu was terribly frightened by her own imagination, Shi Bosong said: "Bowling Hou is a hereditary title, how can he be downgraded?"

"Why not, sir, you forgot, the year before last, Marquis Wenxiang..."

"Marquis Wenxiang has no distinction between his concubine and his concubine, and his house is in chaos!" How could the historian get to that point!

"If you want me to say, the second brother is too naive..."

Before Mrs. Xu finished speaking, Shi Bosong couldn't bear it anymore, and threw the handkerchief into the basin, splashing a lot of water.Mrs. Xu was taken aback, and felt aggrieved: "I know, I think I'm trying to stir up feelings between you brothers, but please think about it, my second brother did such a thing without discussing with you first, and risked the entire historian, you He is the heir to the Bowling House..."

"Enough, shut up!" Shi Bosong shouted.The woman's mind is weird, even if the brothers don't say it, he can understand why Shi Zhongzhu disrespected his elder brother and tried to get the title in Xu's mouth.

When Xu was scolded, she only wept silently. The Xu family was born in a noble family, but she was the strongest and sharpest person. After being married for so long, when did she ever see her cry?Seeing this, Shi Bosong couldn't bear it anymore, thinking that he would teach his son face to face and his wife behind his back, if Xu didn't know how to speak slowly, he shouldn't speak loudly.

"Okay, the second brother has his own way of doing things. Even if we didn't discuss it with me, our brothers naturally share the same mind. Don't say anything about heirs. The second brother is my brother with the same father and mother. Let him know that there is no harm." emotional."

"He doesn't dare to make decisions on his own!" Mrs. Xu was indignant. In fact, she didn't care at all whether the Wei family could be saved or not, what she cared about was that her right to be the master of the family was divided.

Shi Bosong was speechless for a moment, and the two were silent to each other.
