The Zhen Family Brothers in the Red Chamber

King Yong's official wife is Ye Shi, who is only over 23 years old now, and when seeing King Yong, he is more than respectful but not affectionate.King Yong ordered people to have dinner with Ye Shi, introduced someone to Zhen Zhu, and then took Zhen Zhu to the study room. In the study room, Wu Sidao was already waiting, and the man was writing something with a scroll in one hand , Waiting for King Yong to enter the door, he got up and said hello.

"It's okay, sir is always so polite. This is the young master of the Zhen family, Zhen Zhu, you have seen it before." King Yong dragged Zhen Zhu to Wu Sidao, and after the unilateral introduction, he ordered Zhen Zhu to play while he was playing. Then talk to Wu Sidao about the matter.

Zhen Zhu knew that she was too young, and it was meaningless to know too much, so she obediently wandered around the study room of King Yong's Mansion. Sitting with Wu Sidao in the outermost room, one can see the arched shelves inside, with a side of books on it, and Zhen Zhu's saliva dripped down from reading all kinds of books in it.

"Be patient, I can still read it in a while, errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrh, there is actually a collection of poems compiled by my father, ah, the text just released in Beijing." Zhen Zhu drank water in front of the bookshelf with her fingers in her mouth , and then took two puffs and continued to go inside. It was still a bookshelf, but the scene was a little different from the outside. There was a ticking Western clock on it, and some celestial instruments. The books on the bookshelf were all Western books that Zhen Zhu could not understand. Wen, although he dabbled in it in his early years, his father wanted him to concentrate on studying and wait for future studies, so he missed it.

Of the remaining three rooms, one seems to be shelving anecdotes, one is about ghosts and myths, and the last one has a soft couch, and the quilts on the soft couch are still warm, presumably someone It was tidied up, but there was no one in front of or behind the whole study, Zhen Zhu was thinking strangely, when she felt that something was in front of her eyes, she looked up and looked around, but she didn't see anyone, so she rubbed her eyes.On the innermost bookshelf was actually Travel Notes of Humanities, Zhen Zhu picked out a book out of curiosity, glanced at it, and then slowly began to read it.

The green shadows are shady, the breeze is blowing, and the hanging bells outside the eaves are jingling.Zhen Zhu knew that the meeting would be peaceful, but he couldn't stop his head. The crown prince was reprimanded because he got the news just after he came to Beijing. He also heard that Li Wei was released, and that a group of Zhan Shi died in the prince's mansion. Man, the imperial city is as quiet as the dawn before darkness. He entered the palace without greeting the crown prince and seeing the queen. Although Zhen Zhu herself is willing to see this situation, for the Zhen family, it is really A little embarrassing, but it was the saint's idea at this time.

As Zhen Zhu thought about it, she saw a desk next to the window. He walked up and down the desk, stretched out his hand to pick up a pen, and started to write the first letter he sent to Zhen's house after he came out. letter.

"The prince still made some movements before, but now the silence is too much." Wu Sidao said while stroking his beard.

"Even if the prince wants to retreat again, there is a rope behind him against him, and now he is in a dilemma." King Yong knew that the prince and the emperor had a good relationship, not to mention that the prince grew up by the queen's side since childhood, so he could see the emperor every day Since the crown prince got married on the fifteenth day, the queen has taken care of herself even more, even the crown princess Shi Shi has been highly praised by the emperor.

"Mingxiang did not do a lot of actions in the past few days, but because of this His Highness was very angry, and he once went straight into Mingxiang's mansion without notification, so he was blamed by the Holy One, and the situation between the Crown Prince and His Highness became more and more intensified. What Wu Sidao said before and after is also quite clear, but he also knows that King Yong himself has considerable ideas. As King Yong's staff, he is more about supporting rather than suggesting.

"Since it's burning, let's add another fire, but don't move too much." King Yong looked over Wu Sidao to look inside, and then signaled him to leave. Wu Sidao silently saluted King Yong and left. In the study room, as soon as he went out, the sentry posts that were not standing guard outside returned to their original positions, and Yingying and Yanyan in the yard also came out from every corner to serve as Wu Sidao left.

King Yong was sitting, and a servant girl in a pink jacket came up with a teapot. When the tea was poured, she was about to leave, when King Yong ordered: "Go and order the kitchen to prepare some food. The king ate in the study, waiting for the evening to order the princess to clean up a table, and invited the five brothers next door to come and gather."

"Yes, my lord." Cui Liu answered in a low voice, and then left the yard. When she went out, she saw the big servant girl Hong Que next to the princess looking around at the entrance of the yard. Seeing Cui Liu, she stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

"Good sister, tell me quickly, what about the prince's lunch, the princess ordered the cook to cook a table of meals, and the little brothers under there stretched their necks and waited to see the prince." Cardinal spoke as lightly as her name It's light and crunchy, but it's not annoying, not to mention that she belongs to the princess, so all personnel in the mansion give her face, but when it comes to Cui Liu's place, she can't bear it.

Cui Liu withdrew her hand expressionlessly, and said lightly: "My lord ordered lunch to be eaten in the study, and in the evening, I invited lord Jing to dinner, so I set up a table in the Wenhe Garden in front, next to it. His lord did not order."

The cardinal still smiled, and then nodded: "So, I'll go to the princess to deliver the message." Before the cardinal left, he heard the auspicious words from the servants below.

The red bird glanced at Cui Liu, then turned around, and faced Concubine Li's luggage with six or seven people holding her second elder brother. Concubine Li had a straightforward temper and waved her hand when she saw anyone: "No, no, no , One or two will kneel when they see it, you are not tired, I am still annoying, this Brother Buer is clamoring to see the prince, I wonder if Miss Cui will go in and report."

Concubine Li was talking while turning her head to look at the second elder brother who was being hugged by the nanny, and then looked at Cui Liu with a smile. She just came back, just a bunch of things, Cui Liu's face didn't change, she was still not soft He replied forcefully: "The lord ordered dinner together in the evening. If Concubine Li was in a hurry, she ordered the little six sons at the door to go in and ask. The servant girl was about to go to the kitchen, and the lord ordered to prepare some meals."

"That's it, then I'll see you at night and don't bother me anymore." Concubine Li coughed, turned around and led the people away, and just as she was leaving, she saw Qi Xi, who was beside Concubine Nian, coming from another way , trotted for a while, when greeting Cui Liu and the cardinal, she still couldn’t speak clearly, but Cui Liu left before anyone could speak. Pingzui didn't say anything, and walked back shyly.

Waiting for Linque to return to the princess, she saw the princess sitting by the window, staring blankly at the wintersweet outside, holding an old sachet in her hand, behind her stood Nanny Qin, that Nanny Qin Seeing the linnet coming back, Mammy asked, "What did the lord say?"

"My lord ordered me to use the study room for lunch. In the evening, I asked the wangfei to prepare and invited the fifth prince next door to come to the mansion for dinner. By the way, I heard that the lord brought a child this time. It sounds like it belongs to the Jinling Zhen family. Young master, he said he wanted to live in the prince's courtyard, so he put a bed in the prince's compartment..." Linque said, looking at the princess embarrassedly.

The princess listened to her words, and raised her head to look at Linque: "I can see that child. When I came here, I just felt that the little one was held by the prince." The princess thought for a while, and only remembered the fluffy fur on the child. I can't remember it anymore.

"I didn't see him, but I met Concubine Li. Concubine Li carried her second elder brother to the place, but she didn't see the prince, but the Qixi next to Concubine Nian came and went without saying anything. "The cardinal carefully reported back to the princess, and she secretly winked at Mother Qin as she spoke.

The princess just carefully put the things in her hand into the wooden box on the dressing table, pushed them to the middle, then got up and went to the window, touching the guardrail of the window with one hand: "My lord is a person who does big things, don't let such trivial things happen in the future." It’s okay if people are arguing.”

"Master, you shouldn't be like this. After all, you have to follow the rules." Mother Qin naturally knew that Princess Yong would not listen, but as a slave, she still had to remind her.

"What's the matter, I don't have any heirs, why bother to hinder those who have heirs? A few days ago, the concubine De concubine also mentioned that she wanted to bring in two newcomers to the mansion. That would be more lively, so don't worry about the others. It's gone." She didn't want to hear it either, but she just waved her hand to tell the people below not to mention it, "Since the prince won't come, let's serve a meal, I don't know why, but I'm a little hungry today."

Nanny Qin hadn't heard her master cry for hunger for a long time, and when she heard the news, she asked the small kitchen to cook four or five dishes that Mrs. Ye wanted to eat, and coaxed her to eat half a bowl.

Concubine Li carried the child back to her Qingliangyuan, then ordered the nanny to carry the second elder brother down, and lay down on the bed by herself, ordering someone to hold her shoulders, while Bai Zhi was holding a bowl of hot soup on the side. up.

"Your Majesty, you can drink the medicinal soup just cooked while it's still hot."

Concubine Li opened her eyes and took a look: "What's the use of drinking, anyway, I won't be able to see the prince, so it's useless to drink." She said so, but she stretched out her hand to take it, and then Bai Zhi waited and drank it. After eating a bowl, Concubine Li picked a dried fruit from the fruit plate and stuffed it into her mouth, "Come on, let's all rest, this is the first day, you won't come to my place, so withdraw." Speaking of which, she was leaning on the handrail, picking up the dried fruit on the plate, her fingers were slender and stained, such a small yard can accommodate more than a dozen women, and there will be countless women in the future, she is actually tired of it.

Qixi cautiously went back to the courtyard, and saw Nanny Liao standing at the door with a serious face, Qixi secretly pointed inside, and heard a slamming sound, followed by a burst of laziness, and then Bazhen came out covering her face Well, Qixi couldn't figure it out, she clearly looked at the soft and weak Concubine Nian, where did she have such a temper, she was usually weak and weak in front of the prince, she didn't feel sorry for Bazhen, she just lamented that she also To follow in the footsteps of Bazhen.

After entering the house, Qixi saw that the inside had been tidied up, and Qixi hurriedly knelt down at the door: "Greetings to the empress, the empress is a thousand years old."

"En." The voice pierced through the layers of veils. Concubine Nian was wearing a Jiangnan-style long dress, flowing like a fairy. She was still young, and her face could vaguely have the aura of a girl: "The nails have to be worn again." Infected, my hand hurts from beating, Qixi, where is the prince?"

"The lord is in the study, and the maid of the concubine is at the door, and the servants dare not come forward to ask more questions." Qi Xi buried her head to the lowest point, her forehead pressed to the ground.It felt like a foot had been stepped on my neck, and I could only hear the voice of Concubine Nian from above, "It's really useless if I can't do a small thing well."

Nian side concubine giggled, and stomped Qixi to the ground with all her might, seeing that Qixi was out of breath and still didn't dare to struggle, she kindly let go of her feet: "Forget it, the days are still long, you It can always be used again.” As she spoke, she twisted her waist and walked lightly, her steps followed the rhythm of a dancer, the long green silk around her waist was floating in the air, and she lifted the jade ornaments underneath, and slowly entered After leaving the back room, there was silence in the room.
