Red Mansion: He Doesn't Want to Bend

The previous article said that when King He Rui said goodbye to Lin Jue, Fang drove all the way back to the other courtyard.

After entering the yard, Xin Fu brought hot water to wash his hands with him, and the little girl Qi Yuan who was serving outside came in and replied: "My lord, just now the Shujun Palace sent someone, and I want to invite the lord to visit the Shujun Palace. .”

King He Rui was unbuttoning the buttons, but when he heard that his hands paused, he fastened the button again, washed his hands, picked up the face towel in Jiaoqin's hand to dry, and asked, "What's the matter?" ?”

"Just ask the prince to come over, nothing else."

King He Rui didn't speak, but thought secretly.Xin Fu raised her hand to see his expression, and quietly waved her hand to tell Qi Yuan to go down.He took hot water from the side to pour tea, and brought it to him.

King He Rui took it and didn't eat it, he just held his tea and said slowly: "Prepare the car."

"Yes." Jiaoqin took the order and went.

Xin Fu opened the cabinet, took out a black cloak, and said: "The wind outside is getting colder, the prince is sitting in the car on the road, it doesn't matter, he got out of the car, the section to the courtyard, if If you eat the wind, even if you don't get sick, you'll have to endure the whole night, so just take this with you." Then, he called a few servants from outside, ordering them to keep them, and call He Rui when they get off the car Wang put it on.

That's all, but another thing came to mind.He stretched out his hand to invite Cuckoo, and said to her: "Yesterday, the Empress Dowager ordered someone to bring grapes. She said that they were newly served outside, and they were very delicious. Go and get a plate."

After such an explanation, King He Rui just left.

When we arrived at Shujun Wangfu, the sky was already dark, and the stars were about to come out.Someone was guarding early in the morning, just waiting to lead him in.

King Shujun and Princess Shujun are both waiting in the hall at this moment, when someone reported that King He Rui is coming, they all stood up to greet each other.

Prince Shujun was originally a handsome and elegant man, but he was already old and approaching age, and because of the catastrophe he had suffered, his brows inevitably had some vicissitudes.Concubine Shu Jun stood beside King Shu Jun. She was a few years younger than Jun Wang Shu, but she was not considered to be in the prime of life.It was only a few days of wandering and wandering that day. Although he did not suffer any setbacks, his face was stained with sadness because of thinking about his beloved daughter.

King He Rui stepped in and greeted the two of them: "How are brother-in-law and cousin?"

The two returned the gift with him, and Princess Shujun asked someone to prepare a meal, while answering him: "It's just like that, whether it's good or bad, just live with your fingers."

After the family banquet was finished, Ru Si, who was serving by Princess Shu's side, came in and replied, "My lord, my concubine, and my lord He Rui, the banquet is ready."

All three got up and took their seats, King He Rui looked sideways.Concubine Shujun's makeup is full today, but her face is still haggard, and the circles of her eyes are a little red.

Can't help saying: "Cousin..."

Shujun Wang and Shujun Wangfei knew that he had noticed, and they both smiled wryly.Prince Shu waved his hand, and in an instant everyone retreated in awe-inspiring order.Prince Shu stretched out his hand to lift the jug that Ru Si had placed on the table, and poured the wine into the cup.

The color of wine is amber, and its sound is lingling.

He picked up the wine, raised his neck, and drank the glass of wine violently.

King He Rui stopped him and said: "Brother-in-law, if you eat this wine in a hurry, you will get drunk easily, and it will inevitably hurt your body."

King Shu ignored him and poured himself another cup.Princess Shu Jun looked calm, snatched the wine pot with her hands, and filled the wine glass in front of her.That's all for now, slowly pick up the wine glass.

The wine was poured too full, and when it was picked up, its face was still unripe, reflecting the broken candlelight.Princess Shu brought wine to her lips, opened her lips and said, "Life is like a dream, it is better to get drunk. Today, I really want to get drunk too."

King He Rui was not a stupid person, seeing that the two of them were like this, he couldn't figure out what was going on.He didn't stop them, just put down his chopsticks, and asked quietly: "Have you asked about Gui Ying's letter?"

His words sounded too calm at first, but when he listened carefully, he could hear the grief that he was trying to hold back, and the trembling that he was trying to hide.

Gui Ying.

Hearing him pronounce the name, Princess Shujun suddenly poured the glass of wine into her mouth.Today I specially prepared strong wine, and the wine burned like fire when I was worried.

Prince Shu held an empty wine glass, and said in a trembling voice: "Guiying. Ruoci gave birth to Yingying that day, and because I thought about her getting married in the future, Ruoci and I must be very reluctant to part with her. After coming back to stay for two days, I only embedded the word "return" in her baby name. Unexpectedly, she will never come back..."

The man did not flick his tears lightly, but the king of Shujun said this, but hot tears fell down his cheeks.In the end, it's just not yet sad.He and Concubine Shujun only had this daughter for half of their lives, so how could they calculate the painstaking effort and love they put into raising her.

Now a white-haired man gives away a black-haired man, and the grave of his beloved daughter is still in Yangzhou, how desolate there is nowhere to say it.

Princess Shujun had already cried a lot earlier, but now her eyes were full of tears, her heart was suffocated, and she almost wanted to go with her daughter. "My Yingying is good, and she is the most obedient. I took her to the palace to meet my aunt, and my aunt loved her too. At such a young age, she seemed to understand everything. At that time, the prince was ill, and you She was fighting outside again, and my aunt was frowning. My Yingying, she just lay on the edge of the aunt's soft couch, looked at her and said, "Grandma, the seventeenth uncle is auspicious, and the prince's elder brother is blessed with great blessings, so he will surely meet the evil." Huaji. My aunt loosened her brows, and my husband taught Yingying how to play chess, and Yingying played chess with her aunt. "Auntie is indeed much more relaxed, and I love Yingying even more. Yingying was raised in the palace and the palace. On weekdays, I even Asked her to serve a cup of tea, she refused. Who would have known that a catastrophe would happen to her later, not to mention her family's ruin and death, and Yingying, who was tired of me, became a slave and even lost her real name and surname."

Shujun Princess Xu Xu said a lot, and she also said that she went to Lin's mansion today and met Jia Min.

After listening carefully, King He Rui knew that Su Guiying was actually sold to Yangzhou thousands of miles away that day, and was sold into the Lin Mansion in the process.Because Jia Min saw that she was born delicately and delicately, spoke well, and was graceful, she didn't look like she was raised by an ordinary family.Because there were so many people involved in the Shu County Prince's Mansion that day, Su Guiying actually concealed her identity, and only said that she was ill when she came here, and she had forgotten her surname, and only remembered that there was a word "Ying" in her baby name.

But Jia Min saw that she was pitiful and cute, with a big belly and a pregnant body. Because of maternal love, she kept her and named her Zhudang.Later, seeing that she had something to do, and she was well-mannered, he adopted her as a righteous daughter and raised her in the mansion.Back then, Lin Daiyu was still in her womb, and there was only one girl, Su Guiying, in the house. Although she only looked like a vice lady, after all, Jia Min really loved her and raised her with dignity, and refused to ask her to do ordinary things.

King He Rui let out a long sigh, the turmoil in his heart, the sigh in his heart, how deep is it. "Reincarnation of cause and effect, I really understand. It was caused by the imperial power dispute that day, and today I have found news because of the imperial power dispute. If not for this, I am afraid that the Lin family is still in Yangzhou, and it is definitely not the time to return to the capital."

At that time, whether it is Su Guiying or Zhudang, they will all be young ladies from the inner courtyard of the Lin Mansion, where can they find out?

Princess Shu Jun only briefly talked about Su Guiying's death, but King He Rui heard it clearly, and immediately felt that it was wrong. After such a situation, he felt even more strange: "The Lin family values ​​Guiying so much, and she died in humiliation. No one pursued it?"

If it were someone else, I'm afraid he would have to think twice and doubt Jia Min's sincerity.It's just that he has recognized Lin Jue beforehand, how can Lin Jue fake the unique sincerity towards Zhu Dang in Lin Jue's words?However, he didn't need to lie to a righteous daughter recognized by a girl.

He Rui Wang Ning raised his eyebrows and said: "It is strange to send Yingying to Yangzhou from thousands of miles away. There is such a turmoil again, but it is also the time when brother-in-law is rehabilitated, and the Lin family is so secretive. I can't help but guess, I'm afraid it's not that they don't pursue it, but they don't dare to pursue it. .”

What happened back then was full of doubts.Even Su Guiying is counted, how can it not be chilling.

Prince Shu shattered the wine glass, and said in a cold voice: "One day I will find out the truth, and cut the master behind the scenes into pieces, but it will not be able to calm the grief in my heart!"

Prince Shu and Lin Hai are also colleagues, and they both investigated the sudden death of the former crown prince, but Lin Hai was the only one who was upright, and it was definitely not he who harmed Guiying.Listening to King He Rui's argument like this, it also feels reasonable.Immediately, she swears that she must kill her enemy and avenge her daughter.

Seeing that both of them were unable to restrain their grief, King He Rui persuaded them: "Gui Ying has gone, and even being sad can't bring her back. In my opinion, it is right to secretly move Gui Ying's tomb back now. "

Princess Shujun was puzzled at the moment: "I want to take her back in a good way!"

"Impossible!" King He Rui said: "Cousin, please think about Guiying's tragic death, and don't act recklessly. It is a false disaster that Guiying died before she reached her age. I understand my cousin's heart. It's just that the grave has been moved." It's a shock, why call her down there and be verbally abused?"

King Shu Jun also had some thoughts from it, and said: "So what you said is very true. Now that the case of the former crown prince is still unclear, I am afraid that someone secretly insults Guiying's name, and it needs to be done in secret."

Princess Shujun was saddened by the death of her daughter, and also felt sorry for her that she would not even have the honor after death, so she crawled on the table and cried bitterly.Prince Shu's eyes were filled with tears, but he was still able to hold on.

With a sob in his throat, he said: "The empress dowager is also concerned about this matter, and often asks if the trace of Guiying can be found. Although I have found it now, it is a troubled time, and it is such a sad event, so I might as well keep it a secret. I'm afraid the empress dowager When the empress found out, she was also sad, and it was inevitable that she would hurt her body."

King He Rui took the jug over, but he didn't pour it into the glass, he just raised his neck and poured it directly into his mouth.The wine was so strong that it poured into his mouth and slid into his stomach, making his whole body burn like a raging fire, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.

After a long time, he said: "In the past, I was in the frontier. Although I was the lord of the prince and the leader of the commander, I was in a difficult situation. However, in terms of food and clothing, there is no place that can compare with the capital. Now I am recalled by Brother Meng. , In just a few days, they have already been conspired by yin and yang countless times. The splendor in the pile of splendor..." He shook his head, "It's just the background of blood and tears, intrigue, it's not as enjoyable as galloping on the battlefield."

King Shujun looked at him for a long time, and Princess Shujun's face was full of tears, her make-up was gone, she raised her head, and said in a low tone, "So that you have already seen through that all these riches, honors and beauty are vain, so you just go on your own way to the battlefield Go up. You said that day that you would rather die Sheng Shenglie in the frontiers than die in the struggle of the palace. Now that you think about it, you are right. If you knew it...I would not stop the resumption of the banquet...bringing home with you It's fine for Ying to follow him to the frontier... At least it's to fight for the country, and it's glory after all."
