Red Mansion: He Doesn't Want to Bend

When the Supreme Emperor entered the warm pavilion, he saw the Empress Dowager leaning on the big kang, and went forward to greet her.The Empress Dowager ordered him to sit down and gave him tea.The Supreme Emperor chose to sit on the other side, served tea without eating, and finally put it on a small table beside him.

"If the queen mother has anything to order, just call the subordinates to pass the message. The general just changed his clothes and came over, but asked the queen mother to wait. It's my fault."

The Empress Dowager said slowly: "It's late, you're here after all. I asked someone to invite you here today, one is for today's business, and the other is for your seventeenth brother."

"I know the emperor's matter well. The queen mother doesn't have to worry. So now I should be in the south of the Yangtze River, but I don't know what happened in it."

"What does he have, but he is using this to get close to that elder brother of the Lin family." The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, "When I was young, I didn't worry about it, and now I don't even care about marriage. Willing to listen to people."

The Supreme Emperor is the most benevolent and filial. Seeing the Empress Dowager frowning, she immediately comforted her and said: "The Empress Mother said earlier that there has always been such a thing as masculinity, so why bother to get angry about it. It's just human nature. Because I have seen the son of the Lin family, he was born like a zhilanyushu, but it is no wonder that he caught Zhizhi's eyes. The family background is good in everything, but it is a pity that he is not a girl."

If Lin Hai raises not an eldest son but a eldest daughter, regardless of others, as long as Murong Zhizhi wants to, he will give him a marriage, and it is also feasible.It's just that Lin Jue is a son, he doesn't care about others, even if he is the Supreme Emperor, he can't do it.

The Empress Dowager only felt that there was a burst of anger in her heart, but she couldn't let it out.With a cold face, he turned his head and picked up the teacup, put it to his mouth to eat, but stopped again, held it in his hand, and said in his mouth: "I just heard that the Lord Fushou County said that her brother is in the south of the Yangtze River. I met an old friend of the Lin family, and I intend to hire a girl from that family as my wife. I just heard that it was wrong, because Concubine Xiande went to the girl of the Xue family, so I didn't ask any more questions. After dinner, I asked again, That’s when I found out that the family’s surname is Mu.”

This is the end of the conversation, and the Empress Dowager knows that Murong Zhizhi is in the south of the Yangtze River, so I can't figure out the mystery here.I'm afraid that this old acquaintance and that girl are all fake, Lin Jue's intended engagement is true, but the person who is engaged to him is not an old acquaintance, let alone a girl, but Murong who has changed his name As a result!

The Supreme Emperor was also unaware of this, and was slightly surprised: "Really? Lin Jue is so bold that he dares to lie to his parents?"

The Empress Dowager sneered and said: "For love and love, young people are most likely to fall into this evil. They only have each other in their eyes now, how can they want their parents. Although the Lin family has raised a young son now, after all the eldest son It's so big. Even if you want to entangle others and let the Lin family know, what do you think about our royal family? Maybe you feel that we are a royal family, but we are bullying others. Seeing that the color is better, even the relationship is ignored, it is the other party. He is a man, so he has to do everything possible to get his hands on him. If this word gets out, how will the common people treat us in the future?"

Gains and losses.Murong and even being a member of the royal family, since they enjoyed such overwhelming wealth, they must not be able to be as comfortable as ordinary people.When the royal family and nobles do things, the first thing is to think about the consequences, and the second is to be happy for themselves.

The empress dowager was worried, the emperor listened, but instead of worrying, he smiled and said: "The son is only for something, because of this. The empress do not have to worry about this. It has been a thing since ancient times to divide peaches and cut off sleeves. But has my mother ever seen someone give up the idea of ​​marrying a wife and having children just because of this? What's more, the love between two people is normal before, but it's normal after marrying a wife and having children. As long as they are asked to marry their own wives No matter how much you like it, there will always be a time when you let go. Coincidentally, Qi Xian has reached the year of engagement, and because I saw Lin Jue's outstanding personality and attractive appearance, I intend to order Qi Xian to accept him as a son-in-law. Just wait Let's see whether he has gained a false reputation or has a real reputation. If he is really capable, he will give an order to marry him. At that time, when the beautiful wife enters the house, she will leave no matter how affectionate she is. So much that she admires him to the core Deep, you should also think that he is the son-in-law of your niece, so let it go."

The Supreme Emperor always likes to mess up the mandarin ducks, just look at the new empress, who used to be of the elder emperor's generation, but now she is of the same generation, nondescript, which makes people talk secretly.Speaking of the marriage of Princess Qixian today is even more outrageous.

The Empress Dowager put the teacup in her hand on the small table casually, and said coldly: "Confused! Even if the Empress Dowager doesn't think about your younger brother, he should think about Qi Xian. One of them is your younger brother, and the other It's the daughter you held in your hands, but today you want to make them sad because of your thoughts? Your brother told me earlier that he wanted to leave Lin Jue and marry a wife. But it's absolutely impossible. All of his blood has been put on Lin Jue, and now if he wants to take it back, wouldn't it make him feel cold? Even if you don't love your brother, you offered to marry Lin Jue. Could it be beneficial?"

"Princess Tangtang, how can I not be worthy of him?"

"This is where you want to get confused! What kind of person Lin Jue is, I've heard people say it early in the morning." He fixed it on the window lattice opposite, and said in a low voice: "I heard that he is a very decisive person, and this is true to his name. At the beginning, he was tired of it, but if he treated him so well, he was still unmoved and refused. As a result. Now he is determined to deceive his parents in order to write a letter home from thousands of miles away. He is already interested in him, but he also deceives his family with the daughter of an old friend. Willing to marry another wife. You want to send Qi Xian in with you!" She shook her head slowly, "You are so emperor that you have fallen into the quagmire here, and you still want to let Qi Xian in?"

Lin Jue and Murong Zhizhi must have already agreed to each other affectionately, and the ability to write back must be due to their unswerving heart.If Princess Qi Xian bestows marriage to Lin Jue, Murong will lose her love, breaking Lin Jue's heart, and making Princess Qi Xian stay in the empty court forever.

Why bother?

The Emperor Taishang looked at the Empress Dowager and sighed, "If you follow the Queen Mother's wishes, what should you do?"

"I don't know what to do, so I'm in trouble. When I want to block each other secretly, I don't think it's necessary."

As the empress dowager, it is very easy to tell them to leave.It's just for her youngest son, for the person who is happy for the youngest son, even though her heart is as hard as a stone, she turns soft.It made them sad that they were reluctant to do so.

The Empress Dowager seemed to understand what the Empress Dowager was thinking in a daze, her face was surprised, and her tone was very unbelievable: "The empress... the empress made a decision early in the morning, and she called her son over today, and said something like this to her son, just to tell Son, they have promised each other for life, and they can no longer be separated. The queen mother does not want to stop, nor does she want me to stop..."

The empress dowager must have heard the news that the empress dowager intends to give her a marriage early in the morning, and today she heard from the magistrate of Fushou County that Lin Jue and Murong were already in love, so she ordered the empress to come over.He explained all the twists and turns, and refuted his thoughts one by one, just to let him know that Lin Jue is not a good match for the eldest princess.The Empress Dowager also had no intention of stopping the two of them...

The Supreme Emperor stood up abruptly, and said anxiously: "Mother! So that he has always been willful and mischievous, and the mother has always indulged him! Today, the mother wants to let him go? Did the mother ever think that if Yi Zhizhen and Lin Jue passed through this together? For the rest of my life, how can I rely on old age? It’s an extinct one! How can the mother meet the emperor father in the future, and how can the son meet the ancestors?"

"What will happen in the future, we just have to wait for the next day to talk about it." The Empress Dowager's hands trembled slightly, but finally stabilized, and she said slowly: "It's just a idle prince. When he gets old, our Murong family will still support him." Affordable. The Supreme Emperor is staying with Concubine Yuan today, so he has forgotten the pain he had with the Empress and Zuo Taigui in the past?"

For a while, the Supreme Emperor couldn't speak.The Empress Dowager glanced at him, twitched the corners of her mouth, and mocked: "The Murong family is out of love, your father is like this, you are like this, and your younger brother is like this. You are comfortable now, why don't you want to think about other people's feelings?" Suffering. Let’s not mention our Murong family, but even the Song and Sheng families in the past, there are still fewer people who died for love?"

But they are all laughing at fifty steps.

It was a warm spring day with a breezy breeze.Lin's residence held a small banquet, and there was laughter and joy in the residence, and even the maids held the fruits with a three-pointed joy on their faces.Today was originally Lin Jue's birthday, and Lin Jue's current year is the year of the crown, so he should have made a big deal of it.Since he was in his hometown, Jia Min and Shang Lin Hai were not around, and he was greedy for trouble, so he sent orders and refused most of them.

He still called out gently, persuading Lin Jue to study in Suzhou now, waiting for the provincial examination, it doesn't matter if it's not a big deal, but it's reasonable to have a small banquet in the backyard.Lin Jue was most impatient with these things, so he ordered them to do whatever they wanted.So Rou Rou ordered a small banquet, ordered the dishes in person, and asked the kitchen staff to prepare and deliver them.He opened the box again, took out a lot of copper coins, put them in a peacock blue copper cloisonné enamel holding box, and then called Kong Bi over.

"You go out and reward money according to the work you do, no matter where you serve, more or less, all kinds of rewards. This year is the big day for the uncle and the crown. Because the uncle wants to concentrate on his studies, he doesn't want to make a fuss. , it’s just the etiquette that should be given, but the money that should be rewarded cannot be saved.”

"Hey." Kong Bi responded, took the holding box with a smile, and was about to leave, but turned sideways and added a mouth: "Sister, what a coincidence, today is also my birthday."

Rourou then supported her shoulder and said with a smile: "Good girl, it's a good day for you. After a while, ask the kitchen to make you a bowl of noodles. You can eat it after you have rewarded the money. You don't have to wait for us today. Wait for us to serve you After a small banquet, I will leave a glass of wine for you to wish you a happy birthday."

Kong Bi thanked him, and opened the curtain to go out.All the way out of the yard, to reward money everywhere.Someone who had made friends with her before, took advantage of the time when she was offering money, tugged at her sleeve and said, "Bi'er, you picked Gao Zhi'er to serve in the uncle's house, look, the clothes you are wearing now, the head The objects on the table, even the ladies of ordinary people are not as good as you. It is a shame to come out to reward money now, it shows that you are doing a good job, and the uncle values ​​you. "

Kong Bi pursed his lips and smiled, without saying much, he just said: "The uncle changed my name, I am called Kong Bi now."
