The Heart of the Red Chamber

Wang Ren started his own study career. Chen Jingrong lived up to his reputation. He is extremely knowledgeable, not rigid, and quite funny. When it comes to allusions, it can be said that he is at his fingertips. Wang Ren likes to read history, and he also has a lot of research on history books. Even some inconsistencies in the history books can be pointed out one by one. Compared with Wang Ren's previous life on TV programs such as the Hundred Schools Forum, those so-called experts and scholars don't know where Gao Ming has gone.

Chen Jingrong is also quite open-minded. Wang Ren occasionally has some relatively new and surprising views. He doesn't think it is deviant or deviant, instead he will discuss and extend it with Wang Ren. The relationship between the master and the apprentice gradually deepens.

The Wang family has been rather lively recently. Wang Xiluan has been absent from Chang'an's social circles frequently for more than half a year, and he has almost made a name for himself.Wang Xiluan is the eldest daughter of the second wife of the Wang family. She is quite beautiful, she is a good female celebrity, and she has a very docile temperament. She is already helping Mrs. Shi with housekeeping.Moreover, Mrs. Shi's request is not too high, because Wang Xiluan's temperament does not want her to be the eldest daughter-in-law of the head of the family, and just marry a son-in-law who does not need to inherit the family business.

Therefore, after autumn came, some official media came to inquire about it, claiming that it was a family of women and hundreds of families.

Mrs. Shi is naturally happy to see the results, and has the capital to pick and choose, and her vision has begun to improve.

Regarding this, Madam Sun frowned a little. Today, when Wang Ziteng came back from the yamen, Madam Shi said, "Master, did Second Uncle tell you about Sister Luan's marriage?"

Wang Ziteng put down the cup in his hand and asked, "Didn't you say that you are already discussing marriage?"

Mrs. Sun sighed, and said: "Yes! However, the siblings have always been proud and arrogant. Since she doesn't want Sister Luan to be the eldest daughter-in-law, she wants her son-in-law to have a higher family background, but..."

Wang Ziteng also frowned slightly: "This is Chang'an, not Jinling. Our Wang family, even when grandfather was still alive, was not considered a first-class family. What's more, the second child is still white now! Marrying a wife from the same family, but this family status can't be too different, even if it can be done, Sister Luan will inevitably be despised!"

Mrs. Sun sighed: "What the master said is that the concubine also thinks the same way, but the master knows a little about the temperament of the younger siblings, so I don't have much to say!"

Prince Teng rubbed the cup wall, and finally said: "I'll tell my second brother about it later! Besides, the court has been unstable recently, if I really marry a rich man, I don't know if it will be a blessing or a curse!"

In any case, Wang Ziteng is a person who attaches great importance to feelings. Although marriage is a good way to marry two surnames, marriage is also a means of family alliance, but Wang Ziteng has never thought about it this way, especially now that he only needs to ensure that his position will not be shaken. , is already the best response, if you really use your niece as a bargaining chip and marry some powerful son, it will be a bad move instead, don't be unable to eat mutton by then, and make you feel fishy.

Seeing that Wang Ziteng had taken over the matter, Mrs. Sun breathed a sigh of relief. This eldest sister-in-law is also hard to be. If Mrs. Shi asked herself to ask for information, if she should not come down, wouldn't she be complaining.

The second room lives in Chang'an, and it didn't cause any inconvenience to the first room. The second room also bought some properties in Chang'an. If there are any good things, I don't forget to send a copy to the first room. The two sides have exchanges, and the relationship is always good. Therefore, in the past half a year, the relationship between the first room and the second room is not only not dirty, but rather harmonious. Therefore, Mrs. Sun does not want to be a villain.

I don't know what Wang Ziteng told Wang Zisheng. Mrs. Shi heard that the court was unstable, and most of the dignitaries were involved in the struggle for the heir apparent. A fourth-rank official was confiscated and exiled, and the female servants of the family were dragged out to sell. She trembled for a moment. No matter what, even if there is glory and wealth, she must have her life to enjoy it. The daughter is not very up-to-date. Why not Marrying into a second-class family, with the backing of the Wang family, will not wrong her own daughter, so the desire to cling to the powerful and powerful will be extinguished.

The daughter of the Wang family is still very competitive. Even if the eldest and second room are separated, but only by watching the second room go back to Chang'an and still live in Wang Ziteng's mansion, you can know that the relationship between the two brothers is not ordinary. It's not very popular, but it still has a bit of face in front of the emperor. Therefore, there are quite a few families who want to marry the Wang family.

Over the years, the Wang family has quite a lot of relatives. Even if they can't help much, it is still possible to help with the son-in-law's character.

Therefore, when winter came, Wang Xiluan's marriage was also settled. Xie Lang, the second son of Xie Shouzhuo, the Langzhong of the Tuntian Division of the Ministry of Industry, is now 16 years old. Not bad, it is expected to get a ranking in the provincial examination two years later, it can be regarded as a potential stock.

Wang Xiluan is also very satisfied with this. Her greatest advantage is that she knows how to be content. The Xie family is also an aristocratic family. However, Xie Shouzhuo's house has long been divided into different properties. Moreover, the family property is quite rich and the population is not large. She doesn't need to worry about anything, and, according to family members, Xie Lang is also a handsome young man, very gentle and elegant, without any bad habits, Xie's family style is also very good, at least he has never heard of the existence of the eldest son.The eldest son, Xie Lin, is married, and his wife, Wu Shi, is also a standard lady. She has met her before, and she is a kind person.

Wang Xiluan began to embroider her dowry with peace of mind, just waiting for the wedding date to be set.

On the Jia family's side, Madam Wang felt very uncomfortable. Although she thought her niece was not good enough for her son, when the niece made an engagement, it seemed that the engagement was similar to that of Jia Zhu. At least Jia Zhu had just joined the marriage. She has passed the Tongsheng Examination, but she has not yet obtained the honor of a scholar, and she has to wait until the government examination begins, and Wang Xiluan's fiancé has already taken classes in the Imperial College, and she is waiting for the examination. She feels unbalanced.

Therefore, when Mrs. Shi came to talk to Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang sighed over there: "Second sister-in-law, why didn't you wait long? Sister Luan is my niece, if she can be my daughter-in-law, the second sister-in-law will wait to have a grandson!"

Mrs. Shi froze, and then felt a little uneasy. When you came to Chang'an and Jia's house, you didn't say a word, and when it came to kissing and getting closer, you didn't even lift your eyelids. What do you mean by saying such things now?However, he said: "That's sister Luan's unlucky luck!"

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she became even more excited, and said: "Then Xie Lang is only the second son, and he won't be able to inherit the family business in the future, so I really wronged Miss Luan!"

Mrs. Shi laughed and said: "Sister Luan's temper is too soft, and she can't be the daughter-in-law of the family. Marrying the second son will save you worry!" But in my heart, I really have nothing to say to this little sister. While talking about this is not good, that is not good, what kind of heart is An De, the more I think about it, the more I feel tired and crooked.

Mrs. Wang didn't feel the impatience of her second sister-in-law at all, instead she was still talking about it, boasting Jia Zhu to the sky, wishing she could persuade Mrs. Shi to retire immediately and get married with her own family. Mrs. Shi had accumulated a lot of money Finally, he couldn't hold back his anger and said: "The marriage has already been settled. As for Brother Zhu, sister-in-law is so lucky. Naturally, her future daughter-in-law will be much better than sister Luan. What else should sister-in-law worry about!"

Mrs. Wang was always clumsy and tongue-tied. Now that she came back to her senses, she realized that what she said was indeed inappropriate, but she couldn't shame herself to apologize. In her heart, apart from her eldest brother Wang Ziteng, she was worthy of her favor. Second brother He doesn't have any official position, he is like a prodigal, so he has nothing to care about, so he just said with a smile: "Brother Zhu's marriage depends on what the master thinks!"

Mrs. Shi couldn't help sneering when she heard these words, and she didn't want to continue to perfunctory with Mrs. Wang, so she found an excuse and got up to leave.
