The Heart of the Red Chamber

This matter just passed, after all, it was not a glorious matter, so apart from a few masters of Jia Wang's family who knew a little bit, even the confidant servants didn't know about it.Although Mrs. Wang is still in charge of Zhongfu, she is much more cautious, and she dare not make decisions on some matters, so she has to ask the old lady for advice.

The old lady also knew that Mrs. Wang sold her ancestral property at a low price to make money privately, but she just turned a blind eye.People's hearts are biased. In the eyes of the old lady, if the first house wins the title, it is not unreasonable for the second house to get more money. Anyway, in the end, the money still falls on her good grandson and granddaughter, so there is nothing she can't bear.Of course, she is not dissatisfied with Mrs. Wang as a daughter-in-law, but her surname is Wang after all. Although Wang Ziteng said a few angry words, she is his own sister after all. Really can't do it.Therefore, instead of blaming Mrs. Wang, the old lady spoke a few words of comfort.

But Mrs. Wang dared to pretend that nothing happened. She cried bitterly and thanked the old lady for her kindness, but at the same time thought of the way the old lady dealt with herself back then. Even if a concubine and a concubine failed to survive, it can be seen that the old lady is not really a benevolent person. She has endured it for many years, and now she naturally has to continue to endure it.

The children of Wang Ren's generation didn't know the entanglement at all. It was almost the end of the new year, and even Chen Jingrong from the Qingshui Yamen was busy, waiting for the seal of the yamen to go home for the New Year.

Of course, correspondingly, Wang Ren can also have a holiday. You can't run around every day when people are busy with the New Year. This is not hard work, but arousing suspicion.

Chen Jingrong gave Wang Ren homework for the Chinese New Year, and waved Wang Ren to go back.

The big family has one bad thing, the house is too big, when Wang Ren arrived outside the gate, even though he was still wrapped in a sable fur, he was still shivering twice from the cold wind. The smoke cage was always lit in the carriage, so the temperature was quite suitable. Wang Ren put his feet on the smoke cage and let out a breath.

Chen's Mansion is not far from the Wang's Mansion, even though the carriage traveled slowly, it took a quarter of an hour to arrive.

"Ren'er, why did you come back so early today?" Changing into homely clothes, Wang Ren went to greet Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Sun asked Wang Ren to sit down on the couch.

"The Chinese New Year is coming to an end, and my husband has been very busy recently, so he gave me a holiday and assigned homework, and I will ask for advice after the new year!" Wang Ren explained.

Mrs. Sun nodded and said with a smile: "I heard from the master that you have improved your homework recently, all thanks to Mr. Chen. This year's gift to Mr. Chen should be generous!"

"What mother said is true!" Wang Ren sat beside Mrs. Sun, looking at the gift list in her hand.

Seeing that Wang Ren was curious, Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "Ren'er is coming to see it too. This is a gift list for my relatives and friends. You should also take a look at it and learn a little bit. In the future, it will be indispensable to make friends with teachers and friends." of!"

Wang Ren leaned over to look at it. At the moment, the gift lists in Mrs. Sun's hands are all for her relatives. These are all customary. Porcelain with auspicious patterns, and some brocades with fresh patterns, but they are increased or decreased according to the distance of the relationship and the family background of the other party.

While considering the gift list, Madam Sun explained to Wang Ren that, for example, when a family has a son, it needs to add some pens, ink, paper and inkstone; Whichever family wears filial piety, [-]% will be deducted, and whichever family has any happy event this year, some will be added as appropriate.

While talking, Wang Ziteng came in from the door with a little chill, saw the mother and son talking about the gift list, and said with a smile: "Ren'er probably knows about these things, and there are usually precedents, and , now that he is still young, he has his wife to take care of him, and when he gets married, he will naturally have his daughter-in-law to take care of him, so there is no need for such trouble!"

Mrs. Sun quickly put down the gift list in her hand, and went to help Wang Ziteng change clothes. Wang Ren also stood up quickly and went to greet his father. After taking two bites, he has been so busy recently that he rarely has free time, especially among a large group of nobles, the sandwich biscuits are really not easy to make, even after analysis, those who are having fun in the future are probably useless in the future, but, Since the emperor doesn't open his mouth, they are still high-ranking princes and princes, and you can't afford to provoke them or hide them.

Fortunately, he and King Cheng are now connected, of course, only behind the scenes, or else, let the emperor know about it, and he, the governor of the Beijing camp, can be regarded as a leader.

King Cheng is someone who can bear and pretend. These days, a prince who doesn't make troubles is far more pleasing to the emperor than a prince who can make troubles. Therefore, King Cheng has added some points in the eyes of the emperor. Even if the future is not smooth, it is already seen. By the dawn of dawn.

Therefore, even though Wang Ziteng was very tired, he felt quite at ease. Although his younger sister was not up to the mark, if the married daughters and the water splashed out were to act recklessly by relying on the power of the Wang family, Wang Ziteng would dare to open the ancestral hall. Drive the two girls out of the house.Some things seem to be insignificant, but they have accumulated a lot and ruined their reputation. At that time, it was not so easy to recover. He would rather be called ruthless than to be dragged down by these idiots. future.

He looked at Wang Ren again, his eyes were quite gentle. If Wang Ren was a mediocre person, then for his own benefit, Wang Ziteng would have to drag a bunch of helpless relatives. Using these friendships, he would have someone to protect his son after a hundred years. However, Wang Ren is smart. According to Chen Jingrong, if he hadn't been too young, it would be no problem to take the children's examination in the new year. What the Wang family lacks is an orthodox successor from the imperial examination. After all, the world has been peaceful for a long time. It is getting less and less attention, and the development of the family depends on studying and taking part in the imperial examination.Therefore, if anyone delays his son, Wang Ziteng will show no mercy.
