Red Chamber misrepresentation

As the year approaches, the capital has already had several snowfalls.After clearing up for several consecutive days, the weather changed suddenly in the afternoon of this day. The blue sky seemed to be covered with a layer of tulle, and the gray sky seemed to be cloudy and cold.People walking on the street shrank and quickened their pace.Gradually, the cold wind spreads the sand and dust wantonly.Looks like it's going to snow again.

The window of the southernmost wing room on the second floor of Dongcheng Penglai Inn was slowly closed. Through the gap in the window, a faint smile on the face of a handsome man could be seen, which made people feel very comfortable.But when he looked carefully, he could find that the smile didn't reach his eyes, and the man's eyes were slightly cold.The window was closed, and the man disappeared from sight.At the same time, a figure disappeared under the corridor of the inn.That handsome man is none other than Ding Jingyi, a new recruit from Fujian this year.

He has just passed the township examination, and there is still time before the final examination. If Aunt Ding hadn't urged him, he would definitely not have brought his family to the capital.Ding Jingyi sat down at the round table, poured himself a cup of tea, and picked up the chess record to read it again, but he didn't care about it anymore.Look at this time, Aunt Ding has been away for a while, and she doesn't know if she has seen anyone she wants to see.Thinking about it, Ding Jingyi's thoughts drifted away, as if it was when he first saw that person.Dressed in white clothes, with weak willows supporting the wind, his expression is cold and indifferent.I can't see how she dresses up with care, she only wears plain silver ornaments on her head, but it is so beautiful.This is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, with a touch of aloofness in her gestures, but she is not annoying, but it makes him want to take pity on her.But he knew he was not qualified.As far as the Ding family is concerned, it is natural that there is no relationship with the Li family. If his mother is not a concubine of the Li family, he would have no chance to enter the Li family's private school.

With the sound of hurried footsteps, Ding Jingyi knew that it was his mother who had returned.He stood up, and the door suddenly opened. Aunt Ding sat at the table angrily and without saying a word, her eyes swept over the cup.Ding Sitong winked very much. Seeing Aunt Ding like this, he quickly stepped forward to pour a cup of tea and handed it over.Aunt Ding took the teacup and took a sip.With a bang, the cup fell to the ground and was smashed to pieces.

"Smelly girl, are you going to be mad at me, are you deliberately freezing me to death? It's so cold, can you drink this tea?"

Ding Sitong took a small step back, and his aggrieved eyes fell on Ding Jingyi.There were only the three of them in this room. As an unmarried woman, she had some demands, so it was not easy to go directly to Xiaoer.In the current situation of the Ding family, although she is a young lady of the Ding family, she is a concubine and has no one to command her.

Ding Jingyi glanced at his wife who was sitting on the side.Seeing the disdain on her face, she knew the result of today's visit.This result was not beyond his expectation, what's more, he was relieved.He looked at Aunt Ding, swallowed his resentment, and smiled even deeper, "Mother, don't worry, it looks like it's going to snow today, so I'll ask someone to add more charcoal basins."

Cousin Ying looked at Ding Jingyi's behavior, and her contempt deepened. Without saying a word, she got up and walked out of the room with her maid, but she heard Aunt Ding scolding from behind, "Look, what kind of attitude is she? Is there still my mother-in-law here! You don't teach her a lesson, but let her bully me?"

Cousin Ying was neither angry nor annoyed, and sneered.

"Miss..." A seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman behind Cousin Ying whispered.Cousin Ying turned a deaf ear and walked towards Ding Jingyi's side room.She walked to the vanity mirror and sat down, her vigorous face was printed in the bronze mirror.Today, she is wearing a regular ingot bun, with a full set of headgear on her head, and jewelry on her neck and wrists.But this outfit looked ridiculous with her face.Sure enough, she was still no match for that one.Cousin Ying quickly took off the jewelry, threw it into the dowry, and let the maid let her hair loose.The little girl had served Cousin Ying for many years, so she was naturally winking, she turned around and went out to ask someone for hot water, and the charcoal basin in the room was also lit.It's just that the charcoal basin in the inn can't match the Hou's mansion.Cousin Ying held the handkerchief tightly, but the resentment in her heart had nowhere to vent.

Ding Jingyi didn't know that Cousin Ying was sulking next door, but she wanted to appease Aunt Ding.It's just that where Aunt Ding needs to speak in person, Ding Sitong articulated everything about seeing Zi Xin one by one.Aunt Ding was even more angry when she heard the words, she took out her purse and jade bracelet and threw it on the table, she said angrily, "Look, this is sending a beggar. No, I can't just leave it like this. From tomorrow onwards, I will let the people in the capital go to the court." Everyone knows how ungrateful the princess is and how she doesn't recognize her aunt."

Ding Jingyi's eyes turned cold, and he thought about the banquet that day, but he concealed it very well, and the smile on his face was more gentle,

"If mother wants her son to be just a son for the rest of his life, she can give it a try. I'm afraid that my reputation as a son will not be preserved."

"Why!" Aunt Ding exclaimed.Although she looked at Ding Jingyi with a gentle smile, it didn't look like she was joking.Aunt Ding knew that her son was the most gentle-tempered, even if she plotted against him at the beginning, nothing would happen.I just hate the mistakes that happened back then, if it was successful that day, Yibin would be his son today, and she could enjoy the blessings along with her.

"Rumors can hurt people, but that Princess Ningxuan who was personally appointed by the Tian family, this is the face of the Tian family. When rumors spread around, people will naturally pursue one or two. Wait until someone else investigates and finds your old man It’s the aunt who gave birth to Wufu... Mother, don’t blame your son for not reminding you. This is a blatant insult to the princess but..."

Ding Jingyi didn't continue, Aunt Ding's face turned pale.She bit her lips tightly, she didn't think about this level at all, she just felt that she was an elder in the line of Zi Xin's grandparents, so she must be well respected.Thinking of the wealth and honor she saw today, Aunt Ding couldn't help but look at her son's face with a bit of regret.

Seeing that what Ding Jingyi said was about the same, she asked Ding Sitong to watch Aunt Gu Ding get up and walk to her room.He pushed open the door, and saw Cousin Ying aggrieved in the mirror.The smile on his face didn't fade away, but he went to the desk without saying a word.Seeing that Ding Jingyi turned a blind eye to her, Cousin Ying sneered,

"Why did you rush here today? But I want to know how your cousin is doing?"

"Cousin is naturally good." Ding Jingyi was as gentle and polite as ever, without raising his eyelids, he spread the rice paper and paused for a moment before starting to ink.

"My husband is right. Seeing my cousin today, she is even more beautiful, and I, who is also a woman, am shocked to see her. I think she and her cousin-in-law are very affectionate." Cousin Ying dragged her voice and walked slowly. The eyes in front of the window drifted to Ding Jingyi, I saw that he concentrated on ink ink and didn't care at all.But the more Ding Jingyi was like this, the more Cousin Ying hated her.

"I was lucky to meet my cousin-in-law today. As the rumors say, my cousin-in-law is really good-looking and is a good match for my cousin." As she spoke, Cousin Ying seemed to have thought of something and smiled lightly, "I thought you were the most handsome among men. Outstanding, seeing your cousin-in-law now... even your younger sister is getting used to seeing you, she was in a mess just now."

Ding Jingyi writes like flying, seemingly without pretense, but those words fall into his ears, but every word is like a knife.He had heard a lot of rumors about Jia Amnesty, and seeing Aunt Ding's plan fail today, he was also at a loss.I don't know whether it's because Zixin found a good husband, or because Jia Amnesty is not as good as the rumors.If Jia Amnesty is true to what the rumors say, he will be able to be her backer in the future and prevent her from being bullied.But now, I am afraid that there is really no chance at all.Not reconciled, he was not reconciled, it was obviously a little bit worse at the beginning.

"Ding Jingyi, if it weren't for the mother-in-law's self-defeating back then, I'm afraid you would be replaced by Yibin now. Oh... no. If the mother-in-law succeeded back then, it would be a big scandal. The money she has been thinking about has to be taken back. But I heard that Aunt Zhang's dowry was already quite a lot. I think it should be enough."

Cousin Ying made no secret of her sarcasm.She heard what happened back then from Aunt Ding herself. Aunt Ding was dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law that year, and she said it all with regret.But to her it was downright stupid.If things were done back then, Zi Xin's marriage would naturally be impossible.However, the Tian family will not tolerate such an unfaithful woman, if she is not in good condition, she will be given a piece of white silk to death, and the Zhang family's style will be preserved.Even if he left a bloodline on the face of the chief assistant, he definitely wouldn't be treated as he is today.Zhang Zishen's wealth was the part that the Tian family gave up and was supposed to take over as state-owned.

Ding Jingyi naturally understood what Cousin Ying meant.If he hadn't had any selfishness at the beginning, it would have been impossible.There are so many classmates in Li's family school. He is all top-grade in talent and appearance, but his family background is not obvious.There have never been fewer people who are optimistic about him.Thinking about it, he glanced at Cousin Ying from the corner of his eye, and there was also this one in front of him who secretly had his heart for him back then.But he only cared about Zi Xin, apart from her outstanding appearance, how could he not have her special status?He is cautious and cautious, asking himself that he has never shown half of his thoughts to anyone, and no one will praise him as a slender gentleman.Even if the maids arranged by the Hou Mansion are treated with care, it is nothing more than to make the Hou Mansion think that he is a good candidate for son-in-law.However, all of this was completely destroyed by that arrangement.If not, he would not have married the one in front of him.He is not reconciled, not reconciled!

"My lord, are you there? There is someone downstairs asking to see you." Xiaoer's voice sounded from outside the house.

Ding Jingyi put away her unwillingness, with a smile on her face and kindness in her eyes.He didn't need to look at himself in the mirror to know that his smile was perfect.He straightened his clothes, opened the door and said softly, "Brother, please. I'll let you go now." The door closed in response.Cousin Ying clenched her fists against the closed door.

Ding Jingyi followed Xiaoer downstairs, and saw a man in gray standing in front of the counter.Although he was wearing a robe of decent material, his expression was arrogance mixed with humbleness.It was just a face to face, Ding Jingyi already knew that this person should be in charge of a big family.He was slightly surprised in his heart, but he didn't show half of it on his face.He has no friendship with this person in Beijing, only...

can you?A crack finally appeared on Ding Jingyi's smiling face.Thinking of the wind under his feet, he had already come to the counter.

"Master, can you speak further? My master has something to say." The man bowed slightly to Ding Jingyi with a flattering smile on his face.

"Who is your master? Ding is new here, and there is no old friend here." Ding Jingyi smiled kindly, although he had guesses in his heart, he didn't say anything.

The man chuckled, and said again, "My master wants to thank you for taking care of you in Minnan in the past."

As soon as these words came out, Ding Jingyi's face could no longer be calm. He hurried forward, grabbed the man's front collar, and said a thousand words into four words, "Is this true?"
