Let's form a team in the Red Mansion

Finally coaxed Li Chongguang, and after sending him away, Jia Xuan was so tired that she lay on the desk and didn't want to get up.

This series of events gave him a deeper understanding of this ancient man.

A gentleman is like Rong Mian, and Chicheng is like Li Chongguang. It's not that they don't know that Ying Liang is a good match, but for various reasons, they feel that Jia Yingchun took advantage of it and should happily marry this sick and consumptive man.

Think about it, how ridiculous I was before, wishing that Rong Mian could marry Jia Yingchun.I'm afraid he doesn't like a concubine daughter of the Jia family at all.

Even in modern times, if a woman's family style is not good, it is fatal to her marriage, let alone in ancient times?The Ying family is spending money to buy a daughter-in-law. As for whether the bought daughter-in-law will live happily or not, it is not in their consideration at all.

Then what about me, what kind of existence do I have in the eyes of the Li family, the Ying family, and even the Jia family?Before, he was so indifferent to Jia Yingchun's marriage, even if he chose her husband, it was purely because of his sister's entrustment, starting from Fanghua's interests and his own worldview, why did he ever consider Ziwei's ideas?

What is the difference between yourself and them?In the future, will my own marriage be at the mercy of others and decided by others?

Jia Xuan closed her eyes, and for the first time in so many years of traveling to ancient times, she felt a feeling of despair.

Kowtowing her head on the desk irritably, Jia Xuan suddenly remembered the letter her sister had entrusted in the morning, and hurriedly found it and opened it.Oops, my sister must have waited for a day, and was in a hurry.His only source of news is Li Chongguang, who has just been coaxed away by him, and if he asks again, he will have to wait until tomorrow.

The next day Jia Xuan woke up early, and before she went out, she heard someone knocking on the door hastily.The old servant was startled, and ran tremblingly to open the door, only to see Mr. Li, who was in a hurry yesterday, walking in with a chill all over his body.

Seeing Jia Xuan's surprised face, Li Chongguang didn't know what to say, his face turned pale and red, and he slammed the whip.

"The Ying family is too bullying! I won't play with them anymore!"

Jia Xuan snorted and said, "What's the matter, Eldest Young Master?"

"The Ying family is going to retire the engagement today, and that sick young man insists on marrying his housemate, saying that he wants to give someone a title, and he's forcing him to die!"

Jia Xuan couldn't stop laughing, how fatal it is for a woman to be divorced in this era, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that Li Chongguang would not come here early in the morning, he probably didn't fall asleep tonight!

Jia Xuan dragged Li Chongguang into the room, closed the door and lowered her voice, "What's going on?!"

Li Chongguang twitched, sighed, and said, "Ying Liang is about to die. He said he didn't want to delay the unmarried girl, and he didn't want Chun'er to be lost in the future, and he didn't want the child to grow up with his mother. Three days later, Ying Liang It's time to set up a banquet to marry Chun'er, and as for Ying Liang, the imperial doctor said that she won't last this month."

"Why so fast? Didn't you say before that you can survive this winter?" Jia Xuan was surprised.

"It's not his stepmother, who said that Jia's family is also a big family. It's pitiful enough to marry in and raise a concubine. We can't give her a second house to add trouble. Chun'er gave birth to a child, no matter male or female, they have to sell it to save money. In the future, there will be troubles with my mother and aunt. Ying Liang became anxious when she heard this, and fell ill after a quarrel with her stepmother, and even invited the imperial doctor overnight, but it was useless."

Jia Xuan was speechless, he suddenly understood why a person like Rong, who had such a good family background and looks, ended up filling in the house for someone of the same age as his father. Is this too stupid or too smart?How should he evaluate?Don't make her husband mad at her!

This kind of private matter, women can solve it behind their backs. Who would be so stupid to talk to a man, and even talk to his stepson who is not in good health and is in the joy of becoming a father?

It feels like Ziwei has been jumping from one fire pit to another, and it is hard to tell which fire pit is more vigorous.

Jia Xuan left Li Chongguang behind and quickly wrote a letter to Fanghua.Li Chongguang came over to look at it, but felt that this was not in line with what a gentleman should do. Jia Xuan had already finished writing before he finished tangling.

Jia Xuan ordered the servant a few words, and said to Li Chongguang: "What is the Ying family going to do, do you want the bride price?"

"Hmph, can you make them spit out what you gave to Jia's family?" Li Chongguang said disdainfully, and then realized that he had scolded Jia Xuan, and blushed again.

"It's true that I can't spit it out. I just hope they don't make it too ugly. I'm only worried about what will happen to my little second aunt in the future. She is not good at talking about others..."

Seeing Jia Xuan worried, Li Chongguang was puzzled and said, "Why do you care about her so much?"

"I owe her a favor, and I don't know how to repay her." Jia Xuan pondered for a while, and said.

Li Chongguang reluctantly accepted this reason, and thought for a while: "After two years, this matter is over, and there are fewer people who know and mention it, so let's talk about it."

Fanghua took the letter and glanced at it quickly, her heart suddenly turned cold.

What's the matter?What's the matter?One moment they said they were going to get married, and the next moment they said they were retiring the engagement!What do you think of Ziwei?A piece of goods, if you want it, you can return it if you don’t want it?

Throwing the letter into the slop bucket beside her, seeing that the letter paper was soaked and dirty, she stumbled back to the yard.

After entering the yard, Fanghua closed the door behind her backhand, and seeing a few familiar faces in the yard, she couldn't help crying.

"Crying again! Why are you crying all the time! Tell me, what's the news!" Siqi said anxiously.

Several little girls in the yard asked her to find an excuse to send them away, and now she and Xiuju are left to serve Ziwei.

Fanghua sobbed and plugged the door bolt, seeing that Ziwei had also left the house, she said intermittently: "Ying's family is coming to divorce, Yingliang's maid is pregnant, and Yingliang is going to marry her."

Siqi seemed to be punched hard by someone, and he leaned back: "What?!"

For a person like their young lady, marrying him is a blessing he has accumulated for eight lifetimes, yet he dares not to marry him!

On the contrary, Xiuju was more calm: "How is it possible, a maid, being an aunt would flatter her very much, Madam Ying would not agree!"

"Ying Liang is going to die, and Mrs. Ying dare not refuse." Fanghua took a breath, and the rest of the words were easier to say, "Ying Liang didn't want to marry at first, but Mrs. Ying made her own decision. Maybe after a while, Ying's family will marry her." Someone is here, I don’t know what their plan is. I gave the dowry before, and it has been put into the warehouse, and the gap has been filled, and now I can’t get it out.”

"Why do you want to show it? It's not bad if you don't go to the government to sue them for regretting the marriage!" Siqi sneered.

Xiuju shook her head: "What kind of family do you think we are? It's too late to cover up this kind of thing. How can we make a big fuss? The girl is shameless? It's probably to say that the character is inappropriate. The dowry is originally a loss to the family. If they don't give it, there is still a lady in our palace!"

Fanghua frowned: "5000 taels, so much money, if the Ying family insists on getting it back regardless of the trouble, it will be our wife who will suffer."

"Then let the ancestors come forward and go to the palace to talk to the empress!" Siqi said with his hands on his hips.

"How do you come forward? Who is going to tell the old ancestor about this? The old ancestor caught a cold yesterday and was not feeling well. Do you dare to tell her?" Ziwei finally said.

Siqi was stunned, and said angrily: "Then are we going to be bullied like this? Girl, you are too good-natured! You should go and make a fuss with your wife and let everyone know your grievance!"

"Why are you making trouble, why are you making trouble? This kind of thing shouldn't have reached my ears in the first place! Do you wish your wife would find an excuse to replace you!" Ziwei shook her head, "Forget it, just treat it as a nightmare , Now wake up from the dream, don't say anything about this matter, just wait for the wives to deal with it."

"What does it mean to wake up from a dream, girl, do you know that when you make such a fuss, you, your reputation..." Fanghua's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she was pulled down by Xiuju, and she dared not speak anymore , standing shyly aside.

With her head down, Ziwei walked back to the room slowly, sat by the chessboard, and played chess with herself.

"The one who is in the worst mood right now is the girl. Let's not recruit her and let her be alone." Xiuju pulled the two of them aside and whispered.

Siqi managed to suppress his anger, and said, "We really don't do anything? Hmph, others are waiting to see our jokes!"

"I didn't hear what the girl said, so I wish I could be replaced, right?" Xiuju frowned, and said to Fanghua, "Don't send messages to outsiders these days, and stay in the yard peacefully, you understand! "

Fanghua nodded pitifully: "Understood, if the other girls come, will we open the door?"

"Let's go, let them persuade the girl more, and save the girl from getting into a dead end."

Fanghua went to boil hot water, and when she came out, she saw Siqi and Xiuju together, discussing something in a low voice but fiercely, and immediately shut up when she saw her.

Fanghua lowered her head, poured hot water into the teapot, brought it in and added tea to Ziwei.Those two people grew up together and were of the same age. They have joined hands to dominate the Yingchun courtyard for many years, and their love and tacit understanding are not comparable to her, a latecomer.What's more, Fanghua guessed that the two of them disliked him for being stupid, and they kept many things from him.

Fanghua entered the room and saw that Ziwei was really playing chess, instead of just pretending to be in a daze, so she couldn't help being a little stunned.

Ziwei put a sunspot and said softly: "What are you doing standing up?"

Fanghua took the first two steps and added tea to Ziwei. Seeing that there were more than a dozen black and white pieces on the board, judging by her limited Go level, she played very rigidly. It was impossible to tell whether Ziwei was in a bad mood.

"Really no, is there a way to go back?" Fanghua looked at the chessboard in a daze, and suddenly Ding Ziwei asked in a low voice.

Fanghua's heart tightened, looking at Ziwei's delicate face, she opened her mouth, unable to say anything.

Ziwei didn't look up, she seemed to smile silently, and waved her hand to signal Fanghua to go out.

When stepping over the threshold, Fanghua couldn't help turning her head and glanced at her.

Ziwei tilted her body slightly, looking sideways at the chessboard, and the sunlight projected on her slender and weak back through the window, making people feel a sense of hopeless beauty.

The author has something to say: here Ziwei finally understands that passive bearing is useless, and she begins to think about taking the initiative.The three traversers here all began to reflect on their behavior in the past few years, and at the same time became more confused about the future.Many of the plans that I took for granted before will no longer work. Waiting and bearing will only lead to a worse situation in the end.
