Red Mansion: He Doesn't Want to Bend

It is a matter of great honor to be able to enter the palace to spend New Year's Eve with the emperor and concubines.Now Jia Yuanchun is the only empress and concubine in the current Shengshang Palace. Since Mrs. Wang is her mother, she has naturally obtained a third-rank Shuren.Xue Baochai has been married by Yi's decree, and the Empress Dowager herself said that she will meet her at the banquet on New Year's Eve this year, so Xue Baochai went to the banquet with Mrs. Wang.

Wang Xifeng came to invite Ann early in the morning, had lunch with her company, and when night fell, she sent Mrs. Wang to the car.The carriage drove out slowly and disappeared after a while.Wang Xifeng turned around, supported Ping'er's hand, and rubbed his forehead: "Today's New Year's Eve, the wind is still blowing so hard, it's almost impossible to live."

"The wind is second, grandma is just too busy. Those who can work harder, grandma will take care of it. How can I be away from grandma in this place?" Ping'er helped Wang Xifeng across the threshold, and said with a smile: " Grandma beware."

Wang Xifeng wiped her forehead smoothly, and said: "I would like to stay away from this mess, but who can take care of it? My wife is like this now, so I must suffer."

While talking, I have entered Jiamu's room. On New Year's Eve tonight, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng are all there, sitting on the left side of Jiamu in order.In addition, Mrs. Xing led Jia Cong and Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun led Jia Huan and so on, Li Wan led Jia Lan, and Jia Lian, Qiaojie, etc., crowded around the room.Jia Baoyu alone was hugged by Jia's mother, talking and laughing.

Wang Xifeng came in and smiled: "Hey, look at the excitement, I can't compare to congratulations to the ancestors. It really is a blessing, and now the four generations live under the same roof. I don't know when there will be another five generations under the same roof?" Sister Qiao took it and hugged it, teasing her with a smile.

Jia Mu feigned anger and said, "You rascal, I haven't seen you so early in the morning, so busy?"

Wang Xifeng knew that Jia's mother was pretending, but she still replied solemnly: "No, I woke up early in the morning and thought about how to dress up so that my ancestors would be happy. Huasheng with a bald head is like Heping'er." It took me half a day to choose."

"I said you look so good today, so it took so much effort to dress yourself up."

For a while everyone was talking and laughing, but the girls were more restrained because of Jia's amnesty and Jia Zheng's presence, much more restrained than before.Only Jia Baoyu still suffered from dementia.He sat on the side in a daze for a moment, and seeing the crowd stop, he said: "Sister Feng, Sister Bao has gone to the palace, when will you come back?"

Wang Xifeng thought about it for a while, and said: "The banquets in the palace are always held at certain hours, and I think they will come back after the time of Hai."

Jia Baoyu said: "Both Sister Bao and Sister Lin have gone to the palace, leaving me here alone is meaningless."

Jia Zheng scolded: "You bastard, your sister is now the head of Fushou County. Why are you still calling out one sister after another without any restraint! Now you have to respect her as the head of Fushou County."

Jia Baoyu came quickly to be afraid of him. Seeing his anger, he couldn't help trembling, pushed back, and muttered: "Even if she becomes the county head, she will still be my sister."

"Bullshit!"

"It's New Year's Eve, why are you scolding the child for no reason!" Jia's mother loves Baoyu the most, and she can't see him shrinking like this.He hugged him tightly in his arms, and coaxed him: "What is wrong with our Baoyu? It was all reasonable! Miss Lin is now the head of Fushou County, but she is still Baoyu's sister. She called her sister in private. It's not a big deal." As he said, he said to Baoyu, "just shout in private. You know your sister's temperament. If you shout in public, it's out of order. If your sister hears it, it's to get annoyed." of."

It's about Daiyu, so Baoyu is naturally willing to listen.Immediately said: "I always listen to my ancestors."

Everyone was happy for a while, but Jia Zheng shook his head again and again and sighed very much.

For the time being, I will not mention the affairs of Jia's mansion, but let's talk about it here.Lin Hai and Lin Jue went to the palace to have a banquet, Lin Jue took a seat at the banquet, and after a while, two young men in brocade robes came and sat down.Looking sideways, it was Feng Ziying and Shangwei Ruolan whom I had seen before.

Feng Ziying clasped fists with him: "Brother Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you feeling better?"

Lin Jue went back from the Qianqiu Festival, and I don't know if he was frightened or what, he was so sick that he couldn't get out of bed, intermittently for quite a while.This is something that no one in the capital knows.

Lin Jue has suffered from the wind and cold for the most part, and now he is so weak, but half of it is due to heart disease, and half of it is intentional.Hearing Feng Ziying's question about his body, a smile appeared on his pale jade face, like a dark night, a bright pearl shines alone, the light is soft, but bright and outstanding. "It's okay, thank you Brother Feng for your concern."

Wei Ruolan was also seated at the side, and before the banquet started, she leaned over and chatted a little. "My son got a good bow a while ago, and I'm looking forward to hunting with the emperor to the palace in the spring of next year. What good things did you get during the years?"

"It doesn't matter what is good, what others give you is a kindness." Feng Ziying said this, and then listened to the servant singing, but it was the Empress Dowager who came in.Everyone stood up and saluted, and saw the Empress Dowager was flanked by two pink and jade-carved girls, only one figure could be seen from a distance, but the faces of the two could be clearly seen from a distance.

Lin Jue's table was closer, and after she sat down, she only heard Feng Ziying ask, "I heard that this time the Lord Fushou County is following the Empress Dowager, which of the two is your younger sister?"

Lin Jue looked up and said, "The one in Xueqing's clothes."

Feng Ziying ate two glasses of wine, then said with a smile: "Your sister was born well, but did you promise her?"

"..." Lin Jue gave him a strange look: "My sister is only seven years old after New Year's Eve. Father means to stay at home for more time, and there is no rush."

"My sister got married when she was three years old." Wei Ruolan came over and added.

But Feng Ziying said: "It's better to stay longer. If you marry early, even if you can come back, you are from someone else's family. It's a completely different state of mind from the past."

Because Lin Jue thought it was funny, the two princes and grandsons mentioned their younger sister at this time.This is really not what an ordinary man should say. "Okay, ask what this is for."

Wei Ruolan said: "Brother Lin, I don't know, Brother Feng's family has a sister-in-law who is thirteen years old, just in time..." As he spoke, he secretly stretched out his finger, blocked it with the wine cup, and headed in that direction Pointing, which means, self-evident.

Feng Ziying smiled wryly, he was always a free and easy person, but he had to worry about something related to his sister-in-law.In the place of the imperial palace, any family with some blood and methods will not let the female relatives in.Difficulty is one thing, and it's another thing to lose everything in one careless move, and cause the entire family to be punished.Feng Ziying looked at Lin Jue and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "I heard that Brother Lin is not engaged yet?"

The show girls who happen to be in the age are engaged and married before the draft. This is also a way out.I heard that Lin Jue is over fourteen and half, and after New Year's Eve, he will be fifteen, which is the year of the weak crown.He was born very handsome, with unique demeanor and outstanding talents.Feng Ziying then figured that it would be better to set up his sister with him than to enter the palace.

Thinking of this, Feng Ziying felt that it was a good idea.Immediately afterwards, he said: "Brother Lin, my sister is also a peerless beauty. She has been able to read and write since she was a child, she is gentle and elegant, and she is also magnanimous..."

The words have come to this point, but they can't be more straightforward.

Girls in the family who want to be engaged are mostly determined by the mother, and then discussed with the father, and the decision is made.It is really surprising that Feng Ziying is so informal.But it made people sigh again, sure enough, he was so anxious that he had nowhere to go, seeing that Lin Jue was a good person, that's why he said such urgent words.

Lin Jue didn't want to marry early at first, but later he gave his heart to that person. Even though the sea has changed and it's impossible, he didn't think about marrying another girl.The way of husband and wife lies in the joy of both parties.If there is no joy, it will not last long.Even if it's been a long time, it can't be smooth and comfortable.

Why make it difficult for yourself, and let down that girl's youth in vain?

Therefore, Lin Jue shook his head and refused: "Brother Feng is sincere, this is a very good thing. It's just that I have my own heart, but I can't do anything to disappoint him. It is true that I am not a good match with him, but I don't want to Marrying someone else will make him sad, and it will make me suffer.”

Feng Ziying's sister marrying him may not be worse than entering the palace.Even so, Lin Jue couldn't respond.Feelings are the last thing to settle for second best. If you say yes, you are that person.Even if someone else is unparalleled in the world, it is not what the heart wants.

Feng Ziying was originally a dead horse as a living horse doctor, so she never thought of calling Lin Jueying.Hearing his refusal now, I feel a little regretful, but I didn't think about it, I just raised the wine cup and said: "It's not worth anything, it's just that I went to the doctor in a hurry, so I just said it casually. Brother Lin, please don't worry about it." Take it to heart."

Lin Jue had a drink with him, and Wei Ruolan said, "If I hadn't been engaged early in the morning, I would have married Sister Feng. After all, we grew up in the same place, no matter what, it would be better than outside."

She never expected that Wei Ruolan, who was younger than herself, was already engaged.Lin Jue asked in surprise, "Brother Wei is already engaged?" Thinking about it again, at this time it is common to be married with fingertips, and it is also common for young people to be engaged.

Feng Ziying was even more surprised: "How come Brother Lin doesn't know? The girl that Brother Wei ordered is somewhat related to Brother Lin."

"Which family is the girl from?" Could it be the girl from the Jia family?Lin Jue thought about it, but felt wrong.A girl from the Jia family, Jia Yuanchun, entered the palace and became a concubine. Jia Yingchun later married the Sun family. Jia Tanchun remembered that she was married far away, and there was another Xichun, who was very young, but behind him was the long-term companion of the ancient blue lamp Buddha. .There is no one who can marry Wei Ruolan again.

"Brother Lin's grandmother, your wife's mother, the old Mrs. Shi of Jia's mansion, was originally the eldest daughter of the Baolinghou Shi family. The girl who is betrothed to Brother Wei is the eldest daughter of Baolinghou's mansion. Call Mrs. Shi an aunt. Seriously, Mrs. Shi should call Brother Lin a cousin."
