The Heart of the Red Chamber

After this age, Wang Ren suddenly realized that death is a very common thing.Or it is because this era still belongs to the rule of man, and the ritual system is far more popular than the so-called law, and it is easier to govern the country.Even if a leader of a country died in the previous life, at most it was mourning on the news, and the rest of the people should do what they should do, but now, the only surviving concubine of the previous generation has passed away. The concubine was raised by her side, so she was promoted as a concubine after she ascended the throne today, but she was not favored by the emperor, and she has been eating fast and reciting Buddha in the Buddhist hall of Ci'an Palace, and because of this, In the previous rebellion, although she suffered some injuries, she still survived.

The concubine passed away, and today there is great mourning, and she was granted the title of noble concubine, and ordered the whole country to wear mourning, and no marriages and banquets are allowed within a year.The imperial concubine is buried in the concubine's mausoleum, and all the women of the fifth rank and above in Chang'an have to go to Fuling.Mrs. Sun and Lin Wan were among them. Fortunately, it was spring, the weather was warm, and there were carriages instead, so it was not too hard.

After Fu Ling came back, it was already the end of March.The Wang family is now headed by Lin Wan, and Mrs. Sun is more likely to tease her grandson. If it weren't for the period of national filial piety, Mrs. Sun would have urged Wang Ren and Lin Wan to work harder and have more children. It's good for the grandchildren to come out.Every time he saw Mrs. Sun's earnest eyes and her hints overtly and secretly, Wang Ren was always a little embarrassed and wished he could run away.

Of course, in fact, Wang Ren did escape. Although they have been clinging to Chen Yejun for so many years, neither of them has any intention of getting bored. I can't help but wonder if that's what the so-called wives are worse than concubines and concubines are worse than stealing. After all, Chen Yejun and Wang Ren always feel a little cheating!Every time Wang Ren thinks like this, he feels some inferiority of human beings.

When Lin Wan was still pondering whether the birthday gift for Jia Baoyu should be reduced by a few percent compared to previous years, she soon realized that she didn't need to worry about it—Jia Jing had also ascended to heaven!

It's not a good time to die in April, the weather is getting hotter, Jia Rong and Jia Zhen are not at home, and the cause of death is not honorable, taking too many drugs, don't care if it is some elixir, those clear How can the empty-view Taoist swear so firmly that the grandpa took the golden elixir and became immortal. Anyway, not many people really believe it. However, for the sake of face, the members of the Jia family finally bite the bullet and reluctantly admit the grandpa of Ningguo Mansion It is immortality rather than sudden death.

The emperor took good care of Jia Jing's aftermath, and granted him a fifth-rank official position. This made many people feel that the holy family of Ningguo Mansion was not in decline, so those who were a little far away also changed into plain clothes to pay homage. Jia Jing's social circle is quite broad, so Jia Jing's funeral was very grand.

Due to the face of family friends, Wang Ziteng and Wang Ren showed their faces at the funeral, and then they were disgusted by Jia Zhen and Jia Rong.The two of them did nothing but thunder and rain. Wang Ren had sharp eyes, and when he saw Jia Zhen came out to greet her, there was a carmine-colored red mark on her neck, which could not be caused by mosquito bites.

Although Wang Ziteng didn't notice this, the smell of powder on Jia Zhen's body was not adulterated, which made Wang Ziteng's face turn pale, and he almost walked away.

After getting into the carriage, Wang Ziteng's lips trembled for a long time before he said viciously: "From now on, don't get involved with the Jia family!"

Wang Ren was a little helpless, nodding his head in agreement, while curling his lips inwardly, he hadn't paid attention to Jia's affairs for a long time.By the way, my son Xusui is almost five years old, and it seems that it is time to be enlightened. Although it sounds a bit early, even in the previous life, Xusui should have gone to kindergarten at the age of five, not to mention not learning bilinguals now!Well, do you want to ask Mr. about candidates?

Wang Ziteng saw that Wang Ren was absent-minded, and he also knew that Wang Ren knew it, but he still snorted, thinking of the farce of Jia's family, he added a little nausea.

Wang Ren hurriedly said: "Father, why bother with such carelessness? Our family is related to the Rongguo Mansion, and has nothing to do with the Ningguo Mansion. Moreover, most people in Chang'an now know that the Wang family and the Jia family don't have much contact now!"

Wang Ziteng waved his hands and said, "Ren'er, you think too simply. In the eyes of many people, the Wang family is still one of the four major families in Jinling!"

Wang Ren said softly: "As long as the emperor doesn't think so!"

Wang Ziteng forced a smile, and asked again: "Forget it, don't talk about these things! You have also restrained yourself recently, I know you have been with that kid from the Chen family for a long time, but, after all, it is the time of the country's filial piety. Don't be caught by someone!"

Wang Ren blushed in a rare way, and said a little anxiously: "Well, we didn't do anything..."

Wang Ziteng waved his hand, who is not young and frivolous, besides, Chen Yejun is also a young hero, it is no big deal to be together, and he did not miss the lineage.To put it bluntly, Chen Yejun is also Wang Ren's concubine. It's still the kind that doesn't cost money. If you love me, you won't cause any scandals about illegitimate children. It's better than your own son raising fans and holding fans outside Well done actor.

Speaking of this, Wang Ziteng had a headache again. Xue Pan was only two or three years younger than Wang Ren. Now Wang Ren's son was about to be enlightened. I still ran over when I was there, hoping that my wife could help me find a suitable one.

Wang Ziteng has only one thought about himself as a concubine, and that is ignorance of current affairs!What kind of family is the Xue family? To put it bluntly, it is a businessman who still wants to marry a rich lady. The so-called high family marrying a daughter, and a low family marrying a woman. To be such a fool.

Also, Xue Baochai has been married to Ji for more than a year, and he is still not married. According to his sister, he wants to get closer!Wang Ziteng didn't bother to care about it, since it was their own choice, then go to the end by themselves, if something really embarrassing happens, don't blame him for disregarding the feelings, directly opening the ancestral hall to expel them from the Wang family.Wang Ziteng is not young now, and he doesn't know how long he can live. He doesn't want to leave these messy things to his son. After all, Wang Ren is a junior, and he can't bear the reputation of being unkind and ignoring his parents.Thinking of this, a stern look flashed in Wang Ziteng's eyes.

During the National Filial Piety period, no matter what happened in the dark, it was relatively quiet on the bright side.The emperor has always been in a good mood. The court has been cleaned up a few years ago. Although there are still factional disputes, they dare not disobey the emperor's wishes. Anyway, there is no major event at this time. No one would make fun of themselves and make a punching bag for the emperor.

In a flash, it was already summer, Wang Xi was afraid of the heat, he was too young to use ice, Mrs. Sun felt sorry for her grandson, and hurriedly took her grandson or daughter-in-law to the Zhuangzi outside the city to escape the summer heat, and Wang Ren was too lazy to go outside the city If you have to run, stay at home.

It just so happened that some fresh fruits and vegetables were brought up from Zhuangzi. Wang Ren saw that the fruits and vegetables were juicy and tasted good, so he asked someone to fill some fruit baskets and gave them to acquaintances. He also brought one for himself. , sent it to Chen Jingrong in a hurry, and happened to have a meal there too.

Chen Jingrong now has the name of a bachelor's servant in the cabinet, but he has always followed his heart and doesn't interfere in government affairs very much. He has to ask for leave from time to time, which makes the emperor feel at ease, at least he will not feel that his relatives are arbitrarily powerful.

Wang Ren has always maintained a relatively close teacher-student relationship with Chen Jingrong. From time to time, he wants to bring some local products and food to pay his respects. Chen Jingrong also loves him very much. Seeing him coming now, he couldn't help being happy in his heart, but he said: " It's such a hot day, why don't you stay at home, why run out?"

Wang Ren didn't see anyone else, so he twisted a wet handkerchief and wiped his face, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, the Zhuangzi sent some fresh fruits and vegetables. They tasted very good. If you don't send them here, you can try them too!"

Fruits and vegetables are not worth anything, the key is that Wang Ren has this kind of heart, and Chen Jingrong is even more happy: "Even if you have filial piety, it's not too early now, and the sun is also strong, so don't go back today , just stay here for dinner!"

Wang Ren already had the intention of coming here to eat, so he naturally hit the snake with the stick at this moment: "Sure enough, Mr. loves me!"

Chen Jingrong didn't have children, so he worked hard on other things, and he also kept improving his food. Chen Zhong always regarded Wang Ren as his half-nephew. Now he went to the kitchen to oversee the work, and the cooks would naturally have to take out With [-] points of ability, he quickly prepared several dishes with good color, fragrance and taste, and Chen Jingrong ordered someone to bring out old wine to accompany the meal.

When he was [-]% full, Wang Ren was holding his wine glass and sipping slowly, when Chen Jingrong said: "Now your family and Jia's family should not have much entanglement!"

Wang Ren was taken aback for a moment, why did he mention Jia's family again!Immediately a little nervous, he hurriedly said: "Sir, after all, my aunt is now a member of the Jia family, and this relationship cannot be broken!"

Chen Jingrong shook his head and said: "This matter has nothing to do with your aunt. You know, Ren'er, that my eldest nephew is now in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but someone mentioned that he is the eldest son of Marquis Jia En, named Jia Lian. Well, I raised a concubine outside, and I still call them husband and wife, not to mention the crime of stopping my wife and remarrying, this is still the period of national filial piety and family filial piety!"

Wang Ren was immediately depressed. It turned out that without his sister Feng, Jia Lian would still be stealing.However, he also knew something about Lian's Second Mistress.

Mrs. Yu was born beautiful, and at the beginning, she and Jia Lian lived in harmony for a period of time. However, Jia Lian's love for flowers and lust that was inherited from his father Jia She quickly made Yu's intolerable, and the one beside him has not yet passed the clear road. After her maid broke out that she was pregnant, Mrs. Yu immediately exploded. That maid was drugged and sent to the Zhuangzi to do rough work together with Lao Tzuniang.When Jia Lian got the news, even if he felt guilty towards Mrs. Yu at first, it's gone now.

After entering the house, Mrs. Yu started to be the housekeeper, and soon found that Jia's house was not as glamorous as it appeared on the surface, but the housekeeper's right was not something she wanted, and she could throw it away if she didn't want it.Jia Lian's room was in an awkward position in Jia's house. If they lost the power of housekeeper, the servants and servants would probably look at them, so they just endured it.She didn't know how much dowry she filled in, but Jia Lian didn't appreciate it very much, how reconciled Yu was, she was born in a noble family, and she was brought up spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, so her temper became more and more bad, and soon the housekeepers around Jia Lian The girl was dismissed cleanly, and even the maid she brought as a dowry was matched with a boy, but in the end she only left behind a maid named Xia Lian who had grown up with her since she was a child.

After marrying Jia Lian, Yu Shi only gave birth to one daughter. Over the years, she became even more troubled because of the matter of the son-in-law. Since the son-in-law was not born, she naturally refused to let others have a son-in-law. The conflict between the husband and wife became more and more serious. Jia Lian even got angry outside and wanted to divorce his wife.

However, now that Jia Lian has made such a fuss, I'm afraid that Mrs. Yu will find out, and she will have another handle, and she will bow her head in front of Mrs. Yu again.However, if Jia Lian's affairs come out, it is not a fun thing. When future generations encounter such things, at most people will say a few words. These days, the world is ruled by filial piety. Jia Lian will not say that he will inherit the Rongguo Mansion, and he will not be imprisoned. It is light to lose a layer of skin.

"Don't think about it, now is not the time to move Jia's family, otherwise the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate would have impeached him!" Chen Jingrong thought Wang Ren was worried, and comforted him, "Tell your father about it later, and your father will take care of it!"

Wang Ren came back to his senses and nodded: "Understood, sir!"
