Red Mansion: He Doesn't Want to Bend

Shui Ying, who was sitting by the side, became more shy after hearing this, and lowered her head deeply.King He Rui's eyes are not bad either, so Gui Lan came with a handkerchief, and wiped the corners of her mouth for the Empress Dowager, "Naturally, she is where she should be." Then he said: "My mother thinks too much, so it is inevitable that she will have dreams at night. Another day After the son accompanied his mother, he went to the Huangjue Temple to offer incense, and also took this opportunity to relax."

The queen mother took over the veil, and she was quite earnest: "Since you know that I am for this, then do something that doesn't make me worry about it. Just look, for someone who is about your age, getting a wife is already a prelude, and many You have both sons and daughters. Look at your nephew again. Don't mention the eldest, Ning Ning, who was left behind by the second, will be time to discuss marriage in a few years. You can't be alone by then, but you are called the world's people What do you think?"

King He Rui wanted to retort, but the Queen Mother raised her hand to stop her: "You don't need to say anything. I know that you have always disliked love affairs and refused to accept concubines, which hurt the heart of your concubine in the future. It is a good thing that you are not a womanizer. It’s just that there must always be a concubine who knows the cold and the hot in the backyard to act as director for you, is it possible that with a single Xinfu, you can accomplish everything?”

King He Rui sent another spoonful of ginseng soup over, and said softly: "Of course you want to marry someone you like. If you marry a normal one, the most important thing is not to hurt her heart, but to hurt my heart."

"That's all, you always have many reasons, how can I ever tell you better?" After being beaten back by him one after another, the queen mother's heart was more than half depressed.Turning her head to call Shui Ying, she pointed her finger at King He Rui: "After all, my daughter's family speaks softly, but Ying'er, look at him, talking to his own queen is also so stiff." Then he sighed again: "See You, Yinger, always remind me of Wensu."

Wen Su is the twelve princesses born to the Empress Dowager and the late emperor. She was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, and she was born with extraordinary beauty. The late emperor loved her extremely.However, she is not arrogant, she is willing to think about the overall situation.At that time, the late emperor left abruptly, and the frontiers were in turmoil. Now he has just ascended the throne, and the court is also very unstable.For the sake of her brother, Princess Wen Su took the lead in agreeing to the marriage.During that time, the Empress Dowager was still alive, and she didn't know how many tears shed.

King He Rui just landed and Princess Wensu went to the frontier. Since then, the mountains are high and the water is wide, if you ask, there is no return date[1].Although he had never gotten along with each other, King He Rui always had admiration for this elder sister.Today, I heard the queen mother said that seeing Shui Ying reminded me of Wen Su, so I looked up at Shui Ying.He had seen the portrait of Princess Wensu before, and it was a beautiful woman who he thought was extremely graceful.Although Shui Ying is beautiful, she has a small charm, which cannot be compared with it.

The empress dowager's thoughts must be due to her age. Wen Su was only fourteen when she went away to get married.

King He Rui said: "If my mother misses Twelfth Sister, it's not difficult to send a letter to call Twelfth Sister back to Ning after everything is settled."

"You're coaxing me." The Empress Dowager leaned on the kang, stroked King He Rui's hand, and said with a sad smile, "It's been so many years, if you can return to peace, why wait until today?"

What is a marriage with a princess?It's just dedicating one's life for the sake of the family, the country, and the people behind him.

At night, the emperor also came to Shoukang Palace, and the mother and son sat around and had dinner.During the period, the queen mother mentioned the marriage of the fourth prince, but the emperor only said that he was watching, and the others refused to say more.

The prince's marriage is considered a family matter if it is small, but it is not a state matter if it is large.Need to be careful everywhere, recruit carefully.

The Empress Dowager naturally understood this reason very well, so she didn't ask any more questions at the moment, and only urged King He Rui once more.After dinner, King He Rui left the palace.But he didn't go back to the mansion, he went all the way to Prince Xiaoyi's mansion.

Now only the princess and three or two side concubines are left in the Xiaoyi Palace. Although the lights are on at night, there is no laughter, only silence.

When King He Rui came, Princess Xiaoyi took Princess Canju, Jia Yingchun, and Lin Daiyu to finish their dinner, and sat down to have tea. When someone reported that King He Rui was coming, Princess Xiaoyi hurriedly said: "Please come in quickly." .”

When King He Rui entered the door, he saw that Princess Xiaoyi was sitting on the main seat, and on the left was Princess Canyu, and sitting beside her was a concubine born to the side concubine, who was now raised under the name of the princess, which was considered half-hearted. A prostitute.On the right sits a slightly cowardly girl, wearing a smoky blue double-breasted embroidered bamboo silk dress, her brows are clear and beautiful, and she is in a state of dust, a pair of wonderful eyes, faintly shining.Her appearance and demeanor are five or six points similar to Lin Jue, so she must be his younger sister.Sitting beside her was a girl in a Qian-colored dress, she was the second girl of the Jia family.

Princess Xiaoyi immediately stood up to greet her, "Greetings to Uncle."

"There's no need to be too polite." Zi Zai sat on the seat she gave up, Princess Xiaoyi moved to the left, and Princess Canju moved one seat behind in turn.

Princess Xiaoyi said: "Uncle, can you have dinner?"

"I have already used it in the palace today. I came to your mansion because I thought I would not see Ning Ning for many days, so I came here to see her."

King He Rui didn't love children since he was a child, he always thought they were noisy, naughty and crying.Ning Ning is the only daughter-in-law left by his nephew, and she is a lovely person, even if she doesn't love her, she loves her very much.Because she was in the frontier, she always brought some frontier gadgets to coax her when she returned to the capital.The Princess Canyu was in the Forbidden City since he was a child, so he was very close to him no matter how he saw this.

She was raised naively by the Queen Mother, she jumped off the chair and ran to King He Rui, after saluting, she tugged on his sleeve and said: "Uncle, you haven't hugged Ning Ning for a long time."

King He Rui smiled and picked her up and held her in his arms, and said with a smile: "Why does Ning Ning seem to be getting heavier again. What does your mother feed you all day long?"

The owner of Princess Cannu counted them one by one in his arms: "Osmanthus cake, mung bean cake, jujube paste cake..." After talking for a moment, she rolled her eyes and said, "I never ate food alone. Sister Lin is here, and I will give them food."

King He Rui kissed her cheek fondly, and praised her: "I really can't see that we, Ding Ning, understand atmosphere like this."

After coaxing Princess Cangnu in his arms, King He Rui put her down and let her sit back.But he glanced at Daiyu who was sitting beside him, and sighed inwardly, she was indeed Lin Jue's younger sister, and there were indeed similarities in her charm and posture.

He looked at each other for a while, saw that Daiyu lowered her head and refused to lift it up, and said, "You don't have to be afraid."

Daiyu still lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Yes."

He asked again: "Are you a girl from the Lin family?"

"Yes, my father is Lin Shangshu from the household department."

King He Rui nodded and said: "I know. Your brother just had dinner at my residence yesterday." He came to Prince Xiaoyi's residence today, one is to see how Ning Ning is doing recently, and the other is to replace her Lin Jue came to look at the girl from the Lin family.

This is the younger sister he puts on top of his heart, but she can't be wronged.

Now it seems that Miss Lin and Ning Ning get along very well, so there is no need to worry.

Prince He Rui felt at ease, he talked to Princess Xiaoyi once more, then got up and went back to the residence.

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.But Lin Jue returned to Rongguo Mansion from Prince He Rui's Mansion, so he didn't want to go to school again.Confess to Zhu Yu: "I was caught in the wind yesterday, and today my head is swollen and painful, so I don't go to school. When my father comes back, you come to inform me, I have something to say to my father."

Zhu Yu agreed, and Lin Jue went to Jia Min's room.

But it happened that Sister Feng brought two bolts of satin and was gossiping in Jia Min's room.

When someone reported that Lin Jue was back, Jia Min hurriedly called in.Lin Jue entered the room, and seeing Sister Feng here, she was a little dazed, and immediately bowed to the two of them: "I have seen my mother, I have seen my second sister-in-law."

Sister Feng smiled immediately and said: "I looked at who it was, it turned out that our brothers Jue came back. Or how to put it, they are biological brothers and sisters. Sister Lin was picked up by people from Prince Xiaoyi's residence yesterday, and you were also invited by King He Rui Went to the palace to have a venison feast. Coincidentally, it’s a good job.”

At this time, Lin Jue had already heard what King He Rui said, but he was not surprised.

With a smile on his face, Jia Min looked up and down at him, seeing everything, and asked, "Why don't you go to school?"

"I was about to apologize to my mother." Lin Jue bowed and said, "Yesterday I ate two glasses of wine and blew the cold wind, and today I wake up with a headache. Mother will forgive me for once, let me play tricks, today Let's not go."

Who knows whose son, Lin Jue would never do such a thing, Jia Min understands it all too well.Knowing that Lin Jue said this because of Sister Feng's presence, she feigned anger and tapped his forehead: "It's easy for me to forgive you, but it's hard for your father. Be careful yourself, don't get caught up in it. Now that your sister is not here, I don’t care about everything, but no one will save you anymore.”

Lin Jue nodded with a busy smile, "Yes, my son knows."

Jia Min waved his hand and said, "Since you are not feeling well, go back to the house and rest."

Having said this, Lin Jue withdrew immediately.

Sister Jia Min and Sister Feng talked for a while, and then they saw Ping'er coming to look for them.

Sister Feng asked suspiciously, "What's the rush?"

Ping'er smiled and said: "The second wife's younger sister, Aunt Xue, has brought the Xue family's uncle and eldest daughter to the mansion. The old lady ordered me to look for grandma, and asked to go and meet her."

"Hey, I thought it was something. It turned out that my aunt is here." He said lightly, but he got up immediately and said to Jia Min: "Since the old lady ordered me to go, I will come to see my aunt another day. say."

Seeing Jia Min nodding his head, he just walked out.

After leaving the courtyard and walking for a while, I saw Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, etc. in the courtyard of the main house, and Baoyu and Erchun were also waiting to welcome people.

Sister Feng walked over with a smile, and saw two soft sedan chairs slowly being carried in.When the sedan chair landed, first a couple who were dressed richly and somewhat similar to Mrs. Wang came out.A girl came out of the sedan chair at the back, wearing a rose red satin cross-collar shoulder-to-shoulder jacket, a jade-colored skirt, and a cloak embroidered with lotus-colored birds.The face is like a full moon, the skin is radiant and moist, and at first sight, it is actually very amiable.

It is Aunt Xue's daughter-in-law, the eldest daughter of the Xue family whose nickname is Baochai.

Mrs. Wang shook Aunt Xue's hand, then patted the back of Xue Baochai's hand, "After so many years, you and my children will grow up like this."

Aunt Xue replied, "Why not?" Then she called Baochai, "Meet your aunt soon."

"Baoyu came to see your cousin." Mrs. Wang also called Baoyu to meet Baochai.
