[Red Chamber] Come for a hexagram?

Wang Ren, who was abused by Mr. Xin with "The Analects of Confucius" from beginning to end, finally finished his afternoon class.Back to his room listlessly, a girl in light blue clothes came in with a bowl of rice porridge. Wang Ren looked up, but it was not Bai Zhi.

"Put it there." Wang Ren half-slumped on the chair and said in a low voice.

"Yes, sir." The woman put the porridge on the table, but did not back down, but stood by the door without saying a word.

"Why are you still here?" The princes of the aristocratic families would always take their servants with them when they went out, but at home, it was the maid's job.But if possible, Wang Ren really didn't want to see these big maids in front of him.It is not a fuel-efficient lamp to be a big maid in an aristocratic family!

The big maids around men always want to be superior, and the big maids around women are prone to dirty hands and feet.This is a common drawback in aristocratic families, just like the emergence of corrupt officials.It is always difficult for people to restrain their ambition and greed.

"What's your name?" Wang Ren said as he put away the copper plate in his hand.

A trace of grievance flashed in the maidservant's eyes, and she whispered, "Lilac."

Angelica, Clove, Changshan, Pinellia.All are the names of medicinal materials.

"That lilac, go and get me a snack. I want something spicy." Wang Ren said, "Add another candlestick, the light is too dim."

Ding Xiang hesitated for a moment, it seemed that she really didn't want to go out of the room, and Wang Ren took a suspicious look before she picked up the curtain and went out.

As soon as Ding Xiang went out, Bai Zhi came in.

After the curtain was raised again, a gust of cold wind blew in. Wang Ren was very unhappy and said, "Why are you always going in and out, what do you have to do?"

Bai Zhi lowered her head and said softly: "Master, according to the rules, there needs to be a big servant girl guarding your room."

Wang Ren: ...

That's why that maid just didn't want to go out, did she, she just didn't want to replace the job she was guarding in the house with someone else?

In other words, there is nothing good in standing here.

"Master, your purse is frayed, take it off and I will sew it for you?" Bai Zhi asked.

Only then did Wang Ren lower his head to check. The edge of the purse was indeed a little off and frayed. He touched the inside with his hand, and there was only a little bit of silver.

Speaking of which, the things on his body are all worn by the maids, and he never pays attention to what is hanging underneath unless he needs to use them.Looking down this time, besides the purse, he also had fan-covered sachets and jade pendants hanging around his waist, many of which were scattered here and there.

Wang Ren held the purse in his hand and looked it over carefully. It was intricately embroidered with patterns, which looked very delicate.

He took out the broken silver inside and threw it to Bai Zhi.Bai Zhi was overjoyed, took out her needle and thread and began to mend, with a virtuous appearance.

It's a pity that Wang Ren didn't care to appreciate it. Ding Xiang had already returned outside with a plate of spicy crispbread. Behind her was a little girl who lit a candle on a table very close to Wang Ren, and then retreated immediately.

"Master, do you think this is okay?" Ding Xiang whispered.

"Barely." Wang Ren said without looking up.At this moment, she heard footsteps outside, Ding Xiang looked out of the window and saw Wang Ziteng's face with a look of surprise on her face, and immediately stepped forward to lift the curtain.

After Wang Ziteng entered the room, his eyes swept over Bai Zhi who had just stood up, and he scolded them to go out.

"Father." Wang Ren immediately stood up.

"How is today?" Wang Ziteng snorted coldly, "You didn't scare the teacher away, did you?" He said and sat down on the chair in front of him.

"No." Wang Ren said.

After a moment of silence, Wang Ziteng asked again: "Brother Thirteen once mentioned that he was able to handle the case because of you. What did you do?"

"Brother Thirteen is just being polite. It's all because when I went to the wedding banquet last time, I accidentally overheard a few words about private salt, and after being known by Brother Thirteen, I told him what I heard, that's all."

Wang Ziteng stared closely at Wang Ren's face, as if he wanted to judge whether he was lying or not from his expression.Finally he bowed his head and took a sip of his tea.

"No matter what you hear or know in the future, don't open your mouth to mention it to others." Prince Teng said coldly: "Misfortune comes from your mouth. If you accidentally say something wrong, you are inviting trouble for me! Do you know? !"

Wang Ren nodded cautiously and said yes.

After the two talked a few more things about their studies, Wang Ziteng mentioned the second thing he wanted to say this time: "You are thirteen now, and you are not young. Your mother has already started to plan for you Look at the lady of the family."

Wang Ziteng just said this, and saw Wang Ren's face pulled down.

"Why, do you have any dissatisfaction?" Seeing Wang Ren pulling his face, Wang Ziteng's face was longer than his.

"The son is indeed not dissatisfied with his mother's behavior, but." Wang Ren hesitated for a while, as if he didn't want to mention it, and after several stares from Wang Ziteng, he said in a low voice: "It seems that my son... can't."

Wang Ziteng's eyes widened like tiger eyes.

"My son discovered it a few days ago when we were with Bai Zhi..." Wang Ren said in a low voice.

After being stunned for a while, Wang Ziteng coughed in a low voice, and said, "You are still young now."

Wang Ren: You said before that I am not too young, is it okay to slap myself like this?

Wang Ziteng's words are not wrong, Wang Ren's body is indeed not mature yet.

Men in the Qing Dynasty came of age at 16, and women at 15.There are still people who get married in advance, let alone those who get engaged in advance.

In ancient times, there were princesses who were engaged when they were young and married at the age of 13.

It's just that Wang Ren is really not interested in women. As a modern man, he really doesn't want to delay the marriage of other women. What is the future of marrying himself.

"Father, I want to discuss marriage a few years later." Wang Ren said with his head down.

Wang Ziteng looked at him silently for a while, then said, "You can talk to your mother about this matter yourself."

Wang Ren's eyes lit up, as long as Wang Ziteng passed this test, it would be easier for his wife.

The next day, Wang Ziteng was not at home early in the morning, and Wang Ren also got dressed early. Before the husband came to class, he went to his wife to discuss the matter of engagement.

When Wang Ren said that he was getting engaged a few years later, his wife's fingertips were trembling.

"Have you mentioned this to your father?" Madam asked.

"Yes, father did not refuse." Wang Ren said.

The madam was stunned for a long time before she slowly said: "It wasn't that I had to find it for you, but I just mentioned it after chatting with Mrs. Shi Jia some time ago. Since you said it was a few years late, then it will be a few years later." Alright." Wang Ren himself was not in a hurry, so what was she worrying about?Since then, she never took the initiative to mention Wang Ren's marriage, and Wang Ren was happy for her to ignore it.

In the next few days, Wang Ren returned to the days when he was taught homework every day by his husband.Because his study progress was much slower than others, Wang Ren's study time was more compact and difficult than that of Jia Baoyu in Jia's mansion.But for Wang Ren, who started class at 7 am in high school and finished his evening self-study at 10 pm, it didn't matter at all.

At least he only needs to learn Chinese, how easy it is without the courses of chemistry, biology, physics, English and mathematics!

Five days later, Wang Ren turned pale when he saw his husband come in with a guzheng in his arms.

Yes, there is no physical chemistry in Liuyi, but there is music_(:3ゝ∠)_.
