Red Mansion: He Doesn't Want to Bend

Murong Ji threw the chess pieces back into the box casually, leaned back on the chair, and said: "Forget it, even if you give me five words, I can't beat you."

Lin Jue reached out, took a sunspot from his chess box, and dropped it somewhere on the board.Originally, Heizi had been defeated, but this time, although he didn't win a big victory, he managed to save the situation and defend a piece of land.

After making this move, he withdrew his hand and slowly picked up the chess pieces on the board back into the chess box, saying: "If you don't care about it, I won't win by force."

"Your heart is not in this, if not, you have defeated me early in the morning."

He raised his eyes and glanced at Murong Zhizhi, and said with a smile: "You are very outspoken."

Murong Zhizhi saw him pick up a black chess piece with his fingertips, the black chess player showed extraordinarily delicate and attractive.His eyes darkened slightly, he coughed lightly, took some tea to eat, and said, "It's not something I should be ashamed of losing to you."

While the two were talking, Xin Fu had moved a footstool over and told Po Shi to sit on it.Seeing that the master did not speak, the stone woman dared not sit down even though Xin Fu asked her to sit down.Immediately said: "Miss Xin, I'll just stand."

Murong Zhizhi picked up the chess box and put it in the small cabinet.Lin Jue then said, "Sit down, don't be too reserved. We called you here today because we want to ask you something."

Shi Po looked at Murong Zhizhi who was not far away, seeing him nodding, she dared to sit down.There was a stiff smile on his face: "If you two masters have anything to say, just let us know, I must know everything."

Murong Zhizhi still sat down on his seat, stroked the lid of the teacup, and said slowly: "Mother Shi, I heard people say today that you have been a matchmaker for decades, and that all the rich and official families in this area are The one who asked you to buy someone, is it right?"

Mentioning this, Mrs. Shi said with a bit of arrogance in her words: "That's right. The people in my Mrs. Shi's hands are first-class in appearance, and the rules have been carefully taught. You don't need to buy them from the master after you buy them back." It’s troublesome, just use it directly. It’s not that I’m loud, I’m not the only one in this area, but if it’s in my hand, the elders can’t pick a good one, let alone someone else’s.”

Murong Zhizhi said: "I'd like to pick a maid who stands out, it doesn't have to be excellent, just be as good as Xin Fu."

He spoke easily, but Granny Shi was stunned. She opened her eyes wide and said, "Master, you can find outstanding maids, just like Miss Xin. Where can I find them? You have to be in the mansion when you are young." Only those who serve can have such an excellent bearing. Although they are inferior to the master, they should be looked up to when they are released. My old lady has been buying people for many years, and I have seen someone as outstanding as Miss Xin. One or two were just sold early in the morning, how could they be kept until now?"

Murong Zhizhi glanced sideways at Xin Fu, raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know, I am such a brilliant girl. Why can't I pick one out of a hundred?"

Lin Jue laughed beside her and said, "I said earlier that Sister Xinfu is an outstanding person, but you just ignore her. You just think you have silver? Good girl, it's ten thousand taels of gold, and you can't buy it. "

Shi Po also laughed, "This lord is very right. It's not that a girl is worth ten thousand taels of gold, but I'm not lucky enough to find a good girl."

Murong Zhizhi sneered and said, "I still don't believe it, have you ever seen someone better than Xin Fu?"

"This..." Shi Po paused, as if she was in a very difficult situation.After a while, he said: "I've seen one before, called Lianxi. Our master Lin's family here in Suzhou must have heard of it. Tanhualang back then married a lady from the Duke's mansion in Jingli. Mrs. Lin brought Young Master Lin back to live for a while and asked me to buy a girl, so Lianxi was sold into the Lin family."

Murong Zhizhi looked at Lin Jue with a smile, raised his eyebrows and said, "After all, your family got it. I'm short of a girl, why don't you send it here soon?"

But Lin Jue was puzzled, "You actually remembered wrongly, I don't remember a girl named Lianxi in my family." Then he said to Murong Zhizhi: "If there is, it's okay to give it to you, but it's just a girl. It's just that in our mansion, whether it's Suzhou, Yangzhou, or Beijing, there's really no girl named Lianxi."

Murong Zhizhi let out a "huh" and squinted at Po Shi.

That Mrs. Shi's heart trembled, and she hurriedly smiled and said: "So it's the elder brother of the Lin family. It's strange that outsiders say that young master Lin is handsome and handsome, and he is not comparable to ordinary people. I met you today, and he is even more handsome than Pan An." Three points. The uncle is young and doesn't care about the affairs of the back house, so he probably doesn't know about it. The girls in the house, whenever they buy them back or give them to someone, have to change their names to show that they are new. The master is gone, so I can't think about the past anymore. I remember that girl Lianxi, she was indeed sold into the Lin family, and the lady of the Lin family is also a kind person, she was treated very well."

Lin Jue smiled and said, "I don't know this. Since I mentioned that this girl is very outstanding, I have to ask, do you know what this girl's name changed, so I can ask clearly and send it to Uncle Mu."

Seeing that they just asked this question, Po Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Lianxi is the big girl in the big courtyard of the deep house when Lianxi entered the Lin family, and the Lin family doesn't often buy people, even if I do, I can't see her, so I don't know what her name changed later. I just heard that Mrs. Lin liked her so much that she was asked to serve her in the room."

"This is difficult. I don't know what it is called, so how can I find it for you?"

Murong Zhizhi replied: "Just tell her to tell me about that girl's appearance. If there is anything special about it, tell me. You are around your Lin family's house, can you still fly?"

As soon as these words came out, there was no need for Lin Jue to ask, Granny Shi answered by herself.Although they don't know why they are so interested in a girl, they also said in great detail: "The face is extraordinary, but it is dignified and beautiful, and there is absolutely no flirtatious appearance. The speech is calm and kind, with a northern accent. Yes Yes, she also has a jade pendant on her body. It is half the size of a pinky finger, a swimming fish, very exquisite and delicate. It is only worthless because of a broken corner, but no one took it away, she hid it next to her body."

That's all for nothing, this fish-swimming jade pendant is Su Guiying's most personal item, and the other half is in the hands of Princess Shujun!At this time, the two of them were convinced that the Lianxi that Granny Shi was talking about was Zhu Dang from the Lin family, and Su Guiying, the eldest daughter of the Duke's Palace of Shu County.

Lin Jue turned to Murong so that they looked at each other, and they both searched for pain in each other's eyes.The whole heart seemed to be picked off and burned on a hot pot, and a puddle of green blood flowed out.There is regret written in the blood of the two Wang Bi, and it also reflects the sadness like a thousand cuts.

Once the family was ruined, the daughter of a daughter who used to be a slave and a maid was reduced to an official slave, and was sold after going through many parties.Even the name and surname are reversed, the original noble surname has become the most humiliating word, and in the end it can only be hidden in the heart, not for outsiders.

Lin Jue remembered what Jia Min said when she went to Huo Chu's house. When she arrived at Lin's house, Jia Min asked her where her house was and what it was called. She said that she had forgotten everything. It's a good idea to call it.

At that time, she only felt that she couldn't remember clearly because she was too young, but now she knew the reason behind it, but it was heart-wrenching.

Both of them were very upset, but they could only hold back.

Murong Zhizhi poured down half a cup of cold tea, then asked in a stiff voice: "Now that the story has come to an end, I don't need to hide it from you. I married my wife because she said that there was a big change in their family that day, and her direct sister left. It was lost, and I couldn't find it after looking for it for many years. Her parents were crying every day, and they were almost heartbroken. Some time ago, when I was having dinner at Lin's house, I saw a girl in their house who looked exactly like my wife's sister. It's very similar, she wanted to ask, but she was afraid of being abrupt, so she was happy for nothing. Because I knew that the girl was bought from you, and I happened to come to Suzhou to buy things, so I asked you to come and ask. Fang You Yu Yupei is exactly the personal item of my wife and sister, which I have brought since I was a child."

That Shi Po didn't expect such twists and turns here again, and thinking about it again, what an outstanding person Lianxi is, she really needs such a wealthy family to be worthy of her background.It's just that a lady from a famous family, with the quality of a daughter, has been reduced to this point, how can people not sigh?

After hearing this, she sighed: "I never expected such a thing. When I saw Lianxi's behavior and speech, she was different from everyone else. She was not pretentious, and her style was full of solemnity." She sighed to herself again. Fortunately, thinking of Lianxi's extraordinary beauty and rare goods to live in, he never beat or scolded her that day.Who would have thought that Lianxi would have this day?

Murong Zhizhi's eyes darkened, and he said gloomyly: "Please also tell me the whole story of how my wife and sister came to your place. I know, so I can settle the score with that kidnapper!"

Although the tone of this sentence is flat, there is a fierceness in it, but how can it not make Shi Po frightened.

Shi Po stumbled and said: "It's... such a person, it's not too much to be struck by lightning..." Then he slowly told her about Lianxi's visit to her.

It turned out that it was a rainy day, and Mrs. Shi had a daughter named Han Yun, who was also very good-looking.Because she read in the book that this rootless water is better than ordinary water for making tea, she took out a celadon pot and put it on the porch to catch the water.

Just put it down, I heard someone calling the door, who lived next door to them, and the call was very urgent.Han Yun opened the door and saw that it was the lady from the butcher's house next door leading a pretty girl about six or seven years old.The butcher's wife was holding an umbrella by herself, but the little girl was drenched in the rain.She was only wearing a dark blue floral short jacket, which was drenched by the rain and stuck tightly to her body.

It was early autumn, and Han Yun felt cold when she saw her, and shivered involuntarily.

The butcher lady opened her mouth and asked, "Girl Yun, is your mother inside? Let me in quickly, I just picked up a big bargain, no, I brought money to your mother in the rain!"

Han Yun led the butcher's wife in, and turned her head several times along the way, looking and looking at the girl walking in the rain.

She must have been wearing a very delicate little bun, but now it's all messed up, with bits and pieces sticking to her face, but she still shows a kind of detached beauty and elegance.Those eyes were dull, and they just followed them without saying a word.

Han Yun thought to herself, could she be a fool?
