Kneel down and beg to return to the field

The people in the capital have recently had another lively event, and it is the excitement of the high-ranking households that they usually look down on. The Jingguo Palace and the Weiguo Palace, which have always been aloof, were impeached and reprimanded successively. Now they are closed to thank guests , and even many powerful families in the capital restrained themselves, and the streets of the capital suddenly disappeared.

Wang Mian and Li Yi are not having a good time these days, because in the impeachment and reprimand of Jing Guogong and Wei Guogong, there is a sentence "the family is not strict, and the children are not good".So the two princes replied with a full stomach of resentment and anger, so they didn't need to ask any more questions. The two of them were used to making troubles outside, so they were beaten up first.

These two were unlucky, they were beaten up by Wei Lai a few days ago, and they only managed to recover from the injuries on their faces, only to be beaten up again by their own father in the blink of an eye.This time, they didn't hurt their faces again, but the backs that were beaten to pieces were enough for them to lie on the bed for a month, without a chance to run out and make trouble again.

After this whipping, the Duke of Wei's mansion is fine, Li Yi will be beaten up, and he will just lie on the bed humming and recuperating, but the Duke of Jing's mansion is lively.

At the beginning, Wang Xiaoya didn't know why her elder brother was beaten by her father, but when she heard the reason later, she somehow thought of what her elder brother said to bring disaster to the family when she was in Hongfengyuan that day.As soon as she was in a hurry, she yelled about this matter in the mansion, and within a short time, Duke Jing's mansion was full of uproar, and at the same time, she finally let Duke Jing know why she was reprimanded.

The titles of Duke Jing and Duke Wei are all hereditary titles. They were obtained in exchange for the great contributions made by the ancestors of the Wang family and Li family when they followed the Taizu to conquer the world in the early years.It has been handed down to the present, and three generations have passed. Although the two mansions look bright on the surface, the decline inside has been irreversible. Today, Jing Guogong and Wei Guogong only have the title of a duke.

Who is He Yu?The Minister of the Ministry of Officials with great power in his hands!Who is Wei Yan?Marshal of the Dingbei Army who holds military power!Both of these two were important figures in the court, and no matter which one they were, they would not be able to offend even if the Duke of Jing and the Duke of Wei were tied together.So when Jing Guogong heard the news, his first reaction was not to take revenge, but to quickly communicate with Wei Guogong, and then see how he could come to make amends.

It's a pity that Wang Xiaoya didn't understand this. She was just a young lady of the Duke's Mansion who was pampered and grew up and didn't know the meaning of sorrow. She had seen her own bright and glorious appearance since she was a child, but she didn't know the crisis in it.So when she saw her father being stunned and panicked when he found out the cause of the incident, she didn't realize the seriousness of the incident, but instead felt a sense of outraged anger and bewilderment.

Naturally, Jing Guogong would not explain this to his youngest daughter, and he was being burnt out by He Shangshu's revenge, so he didn't pay much attention to Wang Xiaoya's expression.So when he didn't know about it, a rumor about He Zhi spread from Duke Jing's mansion again.

On that day, Wang Xiaoya just went to see her older brother Wang Mian who was still lying on the bed. She was full of anger and sadness. When she heard that her friend from her boudoir was visiting, she couldn't help complaining to others and made up a few sentences: "My father and The crimes that my brother suffered were all caused by that He Zhi! An old girl in her twenties who can't get married, and a tryst with a man in Hongfeng Garden, what good things can happen? When we bumped into each other, we saw that surname Wei's clothes are disheveled, who knows what they were doing before. In my opinion, it wasn't my brother who almost hurt them when he was shooting an arrow that day, but they were hit by a good thing, and they came to trouble our family because of their shame. !"

Wang Xiaoya is a no-brainer, but her boudoir friend is not.But this time, for some reason, they followed Wang Xiaoya's words, and the two got together, talking as if there was such a thing, and they bumped into it.

Wang Xiaoya didn't like He Zhi in the first place, so she believed it first.The two of them had a great time talking together that day, but after that, these words got out somehow.In just a few days after that, the private meeting between the eldest lady of the Shangshu Mansion and the general of the Dingbei Army was widely circulated among the upper class circles in central Beijing, until it almost became known to everyone.

When Mrs. He heard these words, she felt her heart was stuck in one breath, and she almost fainted - her daughter's reputation is not very good, if such rumors spread again, how will she be able to marry in the future? ? !

Madam Zhang, who was following Mrs. He, was taken aback when she saw this, and hurried forward to help Mrs. He, but was swung away by Mrs. He who had already recovered.Madam He, who was furious, killed He Zhi's Huayu Pavilion with Mother Zhang and two little maids without saying a word.

At that time, He Zhi was standing by the desk drawing, looking from a distance, he could see that the drawing paper was full of fiery red.What she painted was exactly the red maple that she and Wei Lai had seen that day in the Red Maple Garden.

When Mrs. He hurried over, she saw such a scene.In normal times, she would probably stand aside and admire her daughter's paintings, and praise a few words by the way.But today is different, she just listened to the talk outside about He Zhi and Wei Lai's rendezvous in Hongfeng Garden, but when she turned her head and saw her daughter painting a maple tree here, she naturally felt even less pleased.

The first time she lost her composure and snatched the paintbrush from He Zhi's hand, Madam He had a look of hatred on her face: "Zhi'er, I thought you were a sensible person, why did you act so foolishly now?" What's wrong?!"

He Zhi seldom goes out on weekdays, and she doesn't have much contact with the powerful circles. She hasn't heard the rumors at this time, so she was a little dazed for a while: "Mother, what's wrong?"

Mrs. He pointed to the maple tree in the painting and said, "Let me ask you, did you go to the Red Maple Garden with Wei Lai a few days ago, and met people from Duke Jing's mansion and Duke Wei's mansion?"

He Zhi really didn't tell Mrs. He about this, because Mrs. He didn't think highly of Wei Lai, so He Zhi mostly discussed things with his father about Wei Lai.But when Mrs. He mentioned it at this time, He Zhi also understood the key point. She restrained her expression and returned to her usual calmness: "Mother, it's just rumors and gossip, why bother."

As a mother, Mrs. He is naturally aware of He Zhi's intelligence, and she is not surprised to see her guess right, but her indifferent attitude is really irritating: "You knew this would happen a long time ago?! Zhier, you are confused Ah, do you know what is going on outside now? Your reputation... how will you marry in the future?!"

Seeing her mother staring with anger, He Zhi could only soften her tone and stepped forward to comfort her: "Mother, don't worry, let this matter take its course. My reputation is already like that. This one is not bad, those who should stay will not leave, and those who will leave because of these few rumors, we can't keep it and don't need to keep it."

When He Zhi made such a gesture, Mrs. He had nothing to do with her.But in the end it's her own daughter, it's not difficult for Mrs. He Zhi to figure out that little bit of careful thinking, she couldn't help but sighed and said, "Zhi'er, do you really like that Wei Lai?"

He Zhi just blinked her eyes when she heard the words, but she was not pretentious, so she nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, she is fine."

Mrs. He stared at He Zhi for a long time, and naturally saw her daughter's seriousness.Even if he doesn't like those warriors anymore, he has to admit it with a sigh at this moment: "In that case, it's up to you. I want to see, there are so many rumors outside, what is Wei Lai going to wait for?" It's time to come to propose marriage."

He Zhi, who has always been generous, finally couldn't help but blushed a little when her mother talked about the door-to-door marriage proposal.Her eyes drooped slightly, but her gaze fell on the fiery red scroll in front of her—she had already done everything she could do, and it was up to Wei Lai to choose what to do next, I just hope she didn't get it wrong There are people.

The author has something to say: Ms. He said: The pit has been dug, just waiting for General Wei to jump.
