Linzhi Gongzi [Red Mansion]

It was still early to pick up my sister and come out.Since you can go out to play, why go back so early.So he said to his sister in the car: "How about taking you out for a while?"

Wen Zhi met a girl of about the same age who she hardly sees on weekdays today, and she was also happy.Lifting the curtains of the car, he smiled and said, "Okay, brother, why not come up, let's talk."

Wen Yishu couldn't respond, he put down his horse, got on the cart.Wen Zhi gave way to her elder brother with a big smile on her face.

"Why, you're quite interested?" Wen Yishu asked with a smile.

Wen Zhi tilted her head, "I usually pride myself on my talent, but I regret that I don't have one or two bosom friends all day long. Unexpectedly, I met you today."

Wen Yishu naturally knew who she was talking about, but he didn't know what to do. He just said: "Oh? Who else can compare to my sister?"

"I'm not the only girl in the whole world, why is there a sky beyond the sky?" Wen Zhiqu said.

"It's really not allowed," Wen Yishu spread his hands, looking like a rascal, "My younger sister is the best in the world."

Wen Zhi pushed him, "Just talk nonsense."

She was indeed very happy today, so she told her elder brother a few words about today's experience.

"The girls in his family are pretty average," Wen Zhi commented, "but the girls from relatives' families are really not ordinary."

Of course, today's women's family is very lively when they visit the garden to enjoy the flowers.In addition to Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai's two resident daughters, Shi Xiangyun, were also warmly called by Jia's mother.

"Brother, do you know that there is a girl surnamed Lin, and her father is the Yanzheng of Yangzhou. Speaking of which, it has a relationship with our family." Wen Zhi said.

Wen Yishu replied: "Well, I visited Master Lin before coming to Beijing, so I know about it."

"Miss Lin's poetry is amazing, she is indeed the daughter of Tan Hualang. Miss Smith has a delicate personality, and although she speaks a little out of proportion, she is not bad. It's just that the girl from another family named Xue is older than me. She's still younger, and she speaks so maturely." Wen Zhi commented on the three girls who impressed her the most today.

Wen Yishu just listened but didn't answer, but he thought in his heart that his sister had a good grasp of the characters of these chaps.

"Hearing what you said, it seems that you have really met a bosom friend." Wen Yishu said casually.

Wen Zhi shook her head with some regret, "I'm going to be a guest at someone else's house, so it's not good to play around too much. If there is a chance, we must compete!"

Hearing her tone, she was not very happy, Wen Yishu laughed: "If there is a chance next time, maybe."

"Wait a minute," Wen Zhi disapproved, as if she felt that the possibility was not high, "I don't think it's a problem for the girls to talk. If I were to visit their house again, I would not be happy to go."

Wen Yishu's eyebrows twitched, "Why, have they wronged you?"

"Who will be wronged by the guests who just came to the door?" Wen Zhi glanced at his brother and explained the reason, "It's just that the old lady always pulls me to ask how the family is, so it doesn't have to be annoying."

Wen Yishu laughed loudly, "Brother, I went there for the first time, and I was dragged and questioned for a long time."

"Since that's the case, why are you pulling me to ask another question?" Wen Zhi was puzzled.

Originally, I didn't really want my sister to know about these things.But Liang Yu had already been exposed, and now Wen Yishu didn't care much about letting his sister know one or two of them, so he frankly revealed the truth.He said: "The Jia family is here to ask for the Zhen family."

"The Zhen family?" Wen Zhi was taken aback for a moment before realizing it.Just now in the yard, she still remembered Jia Mu's friendly words.After thinking for a moment or two, she immediately realized, "Could it be that our family has something to do with the Zhen family!?"

Although her daughter's family doesn't care about world affairs, Wen Zhi clearly knows how the Wen family started.In other words, none of the officials in the Jiangnan line had nothing to do with the Zhen family.

The elder brother didn't answer, but his silence was regarded as tacit consent in Wen Zhi's eyes.She immediately became resentful, and tears welled up in her eyes, "Father clearly... clearly did not feel sorry for them at all to their family! Why, why!"

"Actually, there's no reason," Wen Yishu's voice and demeanor were very cold, "it's just that we don't agree with each other. Daddy wants to quit, and doesn't want to be a blood-sucking leech anymore. They didn't say no, but they couldn't tolerate this person either." gone."

"Now even you and my brothers and sisters are not willing to let go!" Wen Zhi continued.

Wen Yishu smiled like a spring flower, and nodded his sister's forehead, "Actually, in their eyes, we are not a threat. It's just a guilty conscience, so we have to guard against it. Last time I was called, this time Call again, but no other means can be used."

He didn't forget Jia Zheng's relieved look when he said he didn't participate in the Spring Festival.

"Petty, hum," Wen Zhi commented sharply, which made Wen Yishu laugh out loud.

"It's really not good for the dignified Duke's mansion to be used in such an evaluation. If you want them to hear your words, there will be a commotion."

Wen Zhi said: "So what if the scene is big, I have to think about it three or four times when I say a word, and I will suffer. Seeing that people are so mentally ill, they even have to force a smile to make amends."

Wen Yishu looked confused, "Who are you talking about?"

"Well, it's the Second Mistress Lian," Wen Zhi briefly recalled what happened in the yard just now, "Her complexion, anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was weak and pale. But she still stood in the middle laughing and making noise. .A little girl came over and accidentally knocked over a cup, and she looked like she was about to kill someone."

"Probably something happened," Wen Yishu answered casually, but he had some guesses in his mind.

He just joked and said, "Look, if you marry someone like this by accident, you will be wronged and suffer, brother, I will die of love."

Wen Zhi didn't react for a while, and immediately pushed her brother dumbfoundingly, "That's better than finding a man to come back to you in a daze!"

After saying this, she knew she had gone too far, and immediately blushed.Raising her hand to straighten her hair, she said again: "Since their family is staring at us so much, do you have a way to deal with it?"

It is obvious that Wen Zhi has been lingering in her mind about what she just learned, and she is very concerned about it.

"The Jia family is nothing to fear," Wen Yishu said bluntly, "The trouble is the Zhen family. Zhen Yingjia is already on her way back to Beijing to report on her duties. If she is good, she will still be promoted this year."

Wen Yishu was very sure that the Zhen family already knew about his entry into Beijing.Liang Yu once said that he was being followed, and he guessed it was from the Zhen family.King Zhao's actions quickly helped him solve the tracking, but he also clearly told the other party that the Wen family had a backer.This move seems not very well-known, but it can make the opponent have one or two scruples and dare not act rashly.

After listening to his brother's narration, Wen Zhi tilted her head, "Fortunately, you didn't take the imperial examination this year."

Wen Yishu was taken aback, "Why?"

"If you pass the exam, you must be an official. Isn't it easy for him to clean up a few small officials like that?"

"Well, that makes sense..."

Wen Yishu seemed to be thoughtful, but in his heart he was extremely ashamed.He couldn't tell his sister that he didn't take the imperial examination not because of this concern, but because he simply didn't want to take the exam, or he might not pass the exam.

If he said this, he would be called ignorant and incompetent. For the sake of his wise image, Wen Yishu decided to shut up.

On the other end, Wen Zhi still had something to say.She was fortunate not only that Wen Yishu did not take the imperial examination, but also that her elder brother met His Royal Highness King Zhao—there was such a prince protecting her elder brother.It can make the Wen family's journey less difficult.At this time, her objection to Wen Yishu and Liang Yu being together was not so firm.

But after all, it was still a bit shocking, Wen Zhi sighed quietly.For a short while, the car fell into a small silence.

"What are you talking about?" Wen Yishu broke the silence and said with a smile, "What poem did you make today? Show it to me?"

Wen Zhi slapped his outstretched hand, "What poem, do you understand?"

"I can always read the characters," Wen Yishu spread his hands, urging to give it quickly.

"Here, here you are," Wen Zhi pulled out a few pieces of paper from her sleeve and stuffed them into Wen Yishu's hand.

Wen Yishu opened it with a smile, and was about to take a look, but heard a voice from outside, "Is Yishu inside?"

"Huh?" Wen Yishu was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized.After gesturing to her sister, she opened the curtains of the car by herself, "It's Xing Lan!"

Standing outside is Mei Yuzhi, the son of Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, whose name is Xinglan.

"What a coincidence, I met you here."

Mei Yuzhi stood under the car and smiled, "I saw this car familiar, so I came over to take a look. It was you. Long time no see. Where have you been? What are you holding?"

Wen Yishu said with a smile: "It's nothing if you ask me to answer, some poem drafts..."

Before he finished speaking, Mei Yuzhi immediately said joyfully, "What poem draft? Yours? Tell me to take a look!"

As soon as he raised his hand, he snatched it from Wen Yishu's hand.The brothers and sisters of the Wen family in the car were startled and made noises.As soon as Mei Yuzhi opened it outside and took a look, she was immediately attracted by the elegant words.Hearing the voice of a female family member in the car at this time, he was also stunned.

Taking advantage of the empty space, Wen Yishu hurriedly reached out to snatch the manuscript back, vaguely saying, "It's not mine."

"Oh, oh..." Mei Yuzhi was dumbfounded, remembering that Wen Yishu had a younger sister.Then his face turned red, he bowed and bowed, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I was the one who was rude!"

"It's okay, it's okay," Wen Yishu waved his hand, resisting the pain caused by his sister pinching his arm, and said politely, "It's not convenient today, let's get together next time."

"...Enen, good," Mei Yuzhi nodded indiscriminately, and stepped aside to watch Wen's carriage leave.

In a trance, he seemed to see the curtain of the car fluttering, and a young girl as blue as jade was sitting inside.The elegant handwriting and poems lingered in front of his eyes, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance in his nose.The anxious and embarrassing call that I remembered just now hit his heart, leaving a heavy mark.
