[Red Chamber] Come for a hexagram?

For some reason, Wang Ren couldn't stop thinking about it from the very beginning, and kept staring at Yinxiang's place, staring at Thirteenth Master so hairily that he almost jumped up.

"What's wrong... is there something wrong?" Thirteen asked cautiously.

"No, there's nothing wrong..." Wang Ren glanced back and forth, and finally landed there, swallowed, and said with difficulty: "Can I... touch it?"

"What?" Thirteen wondered.

"No, no, I didn't say anything just now!"

"When you say touch... do you mean me?" Master Thirteen asked, "Touch me?"

Wang Ren picked up his heart and nodded.

"Yes." Of course Thirteenth Master replied happily: "As you wish."

random……

you sure?

Wang Ren coughed: "Let's say it first, you are not allowed to be angry, and you are not allowed to accuse me... the following offenses!"

Thirteenth Master nodded indifferently. Since he intends to be with Wang Ren, then there will be more intimate contact in the future, just touching, what is it.

"That's what you said, a gentleman..." Wang Ren said.

"Do you want to touch it? Hurry up, I'm going out." Thirteenth Master said.

"Okay, that...you don't move yet! Put both hands in front." Wang Ren approached slowly.

"It's really troublesome." Thirteenth Master obeyed obediently.Just when he was relaxing, Wang Ren suddenly stretched out his hand to touch the spot he was staring at, and even pinched it, well, the muscles are tight and strong.Then he quickly turned his head and ran away... ran away...

"Wang Ren!!" Sure enough, the furious voice of Lord Thirteen came from behind.

Wang Ren: He clearly said he was not angry, but luckily he ran fast.

Guard: I didn't hear anything and didn't make anything.

Thirteen Lords: =dish=

that guy!How dare you touch it!How dare you...

No wonder he kept emphasizing that he should not be angry with him!it turns out!that guy!

Thirteen snorted a few times, touched the place that Wang Ren had pinched just now, but withdrew his hand in embarrassment.Because she was too shy and caring, Shisan always felt that there was still a strange feeling of being pinched by Shisan on the back.

Wait for me!If he is given a chance, he must pinch it back!That guy Wang Ren's part is swollen!Thirteenth Master swore secretly.

A few days later, when Wang Ren went out, he met Yi Ming again. This time, Yi Ming seemed to have figured out something. When he faced Wang Ren, he had a calm smile on his face, which was no longer the slightly ingratiating smile when he was pursuing Wang Ren. He said that he had given up on pursuing Wang Ren, and completely severed his relationship with the previous one.This time I came here mainly to explain my attitude to Wang Ren, and by the way... I want to be friends.True friend.Although there is no way for the two to become Qi brothers, Yi Ming feels that he and Wang Ren are very compatible in character, so he doesn't want to never get along with Wang Ren.

Hearing these words, Wang Ren's first reaction was... Is Shisan peeping from the side? ?He instinctively didn't want Shisan to know about his relationship with Yi Ming, even if there was nothing between them.

It's just that although Wang Ren agreed, the official who was going to take over in Yangzhou came after a while, so Wang Ren didn't have time to have a good chat with this new friend. He only exchanged letters occasionally after returning to Beijing, until Yi Ming decided to The two didn't meet again until they went to the capital, this is a later story.

It only took a few days to hand over the duties with those two officials. A few days later, after finishing all the matters in Yangzhou, the two of them also started to return to Beijing.When I returned to Yangzhou, it was almost the Chinese New Year, and I counted the time in Yangzhou for almost two years.

Years later, it was 17 years old.At the age of this dynasty but not yet engaged, these two can be said to have married late.

Therefore, the first thing the two will face after they return to Beijing is to talk about their relationship.

Wang Ren was lucky. Wang Ziteng hadn't come back when he returned to Beijing, so even if his wife wanted to make an engagement for him, the matter could only be delayed because the man in charge hadn't returned, not to mention that his wife didn't want to find him at all.It's just that the wife doesn't look for it, but she can't stop the marriage from rushing forward.Not long after he came back, Wang Ren received an invitation from Xue Pan and Aunt Xue.

Wang Ren, who couldn't figure out Mrs. Xue's meaning, made a calculation for himself on this trip, and it turned out that he met Peach Blossom on the road, which made him a little helpless.He also thought of Xue Baochai who had moved away from Jia's mansion and had no engagement yet.She is almost 15 years old now, and she should have married a long time ago, but she has not yet settled down.Aunt Xue needs to be anxious. In two years, she will be an old lady in this era.

This time back to Beijing, if there are no accidents, the official position may be promoted again. A young man who has not yet engaged in marriage, and a cousin who has already lived in the fourth rank are the best choices for marriage.

No matter how you look at it, he is much stronger than Jia Baoyu who is white and destined not to inherit the title.

So this time, should he go?

The next day, Wang Ren, who finally decided to go to the appointment, came to the gate of Xue's residence. Xue's residence was hastily rebuilt from the old house after coming to Beijing. The scale was naturally lower than that of Wang's and Jia's, and the servants inside were also There are not many, but the rules are much better than those of the Jia Mansion, perhaps because there are fewer people and less trouble.

Xue Pan did not go out to fool around this time, but stayed at home honestly and waited for Wang Ren's visit. Xue Baochai instructed the servants to prepare food and drinks, while Aunt Xue dragged Xue Pan to a corner and gave him instructions.This time they came to invite Wang Ren not because they must make a marriage this time, but to check Wang Ren's tone first.Although there are no rumors of his engagement outside, but judging from the madam's nodding but looking forward to Baochai, they think it might be that Wang Ren has a candidate in his heart, so it's not easy for the madam to make a decision. marriage.

Such things are not unheard of.In the Qing Dynasty, Qi Biao character represented a person’s adulthood. Although Wang Ren had no elders to give him Biao Zi because he stayed in Yangzhou all the time, once he became an official, no matter how young he was, it meant that he could decide his own affairs.If you are attracted to any young lady, you can decide whether to marry him or not, and you will no longer be treated like a child.As long as the candidate is not too bad, his parents will not refute his ideas.If the wife is concerned about whether Wang Ren is a good match and refuses to nod, this is a good time to talk about it.

Since ancient times, when people talk about things, they like to settle them at the dinner table.

Before the words started, the food and wine were served first.Wang Ren was sitting at the side of the table, watching Xue Pan who had been told by Aunt Xue came over with a smile, brought a glass of wine and said, "Brother Ren, I'm really sorry. You see you are sitting here, but I just Come here, I'm late, I'll punish myself with a drink." Then he took a drink from his glass.

"You're being polite." Wang Ren smiled, looking at Xue Pan and waiting for his next words.

"This time is also for Brother Ren to clean up the dust." Xue Pan said: "Brother Ren was sent to Yangzhou by the emperor. He has been there for almost two years. Now it seems that the Chinese New Year is coming, but Brother Ren just came back. I couldn’t practice it for you when I was there, so I’ll make up for it this time.”

Wang Ren raised the corner of his mouth and raised his cup slightly: "Thank you."

"My mother and sister and I came from Jinling and traveled all the way to Beijing. We saw a lot of beautiful scenery along the way, but we have never been to Yangzhou city." Xue Pan said, "I remember that Lin's younger sister lives in Yangzhou, I don't know what to do? "

"It's okay." Wang Ren shook his head and said, "It's just that Uncle Lin passed away, but fortunately, Lin Jing, a brother, is helping. Lin Jing is also talented, so life will not be sad."

Xue Pan paused with his chopsticks and said in astonishment, "Lin Tanhua has gone?"

"That's right, why, it's been more than half a year, and the capital has not received any news?" Wang Ren asked.

Xue Pan lowered his head in a daze, and stuffed a peanut into his mouth.Wang Ren looked at him silently, and after a while he came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "Brother Ren, don't be surprised, I'm just too surprised. The younger sister of the Lin family has returned to Yangzhou, and she rarely communicates with the Jia family. , such a big event... I really don't know."

Wang Ren nodded, and probably guessed it.After Jia Min passed away, Lin Daiyu was the only one related to Jia's mansion. Without Lin Jing, Lin Daiyu would have nowhere to go, so she had to go to Jia's mansion to live under the fence.But now that he has an elder brother who is not close to the Jia family at all, things are different.

What's more, Lin Ruhai's death was completely the result of a conspiracy over there. Lin Jing was busy with the funeral and comforting her sister, and also focused on bringing down the officials who killed her father, so she had no time and leisure to care about other things.In addition, Lin Ruhai had cleared his favor for Jia's mansion long ago, and he must have warned Lin Jing to go far away with Jia's mansion, otherwise Lin Jing, who was recorded under Jia Min's name, would not rent a house alone after going to the capital. Instead, he went to Jia's mansion to borrow.

Could it be that the Jia family has not received a letter from the Lin family for so long, and they are able to stay there?

"The Jia mansion has been very peaceful recently." Wang Ren said slowly.

"Calm? It's fun over there now." Xue Pan said with a little jealousy: "Some time ago, Concubine Xiande visited relatives, oh, brother Ren didn't know. After you took office in Yangzhou, the cousin Yuanchun of Jia's mansion was banned. Now that she is a virtuous concubine, she also specially allowed the construction of a garden to visit her relatives. After Yuan Chun’s cousin became a concubine, she ordered the concubine to visit her relatives!" Xue Pan repeated, with pride on his face.

Wang Ren :: ==

Ah, forgot about this.

There is indeed such a thing in the original book.

It's really nothing to look at the concubine's relatives in general, but the problem is that the current emperor is Kangxi!

Will Lord Kangxi give honor to those who don't value it?

Will such great honor be given to useless pawns?

Not to mention useless characters, even talented people, this master may not be able to give such a big face.

What's more, as long as the concubine enters the palace, she can't leave until she dies.Unless the next emperor ascends the throne, they and their sons are allowed to go out of the palace to provide for the elderly.Otherwise, even if you want to see your family, you have to meet the female relatives of the original family in the harem.

Lord Kangxi did this to magnify his tricks!

And this time, the Jia family is definitely not the only one who will be tricked, and it is estimated that all the nobles in the capital have been locked up.

Concubine visiting relatives, this is a beginning.

Wang Ren held his wine glass and pondered. Thirteen would definitely know the news. I don't know what will happen between him and fourth master...

Xue Pan talked about the glory and wealth of the Jia family for a while, and then remembered his ultimate purpose of inviting Wang Ren to come this time, and said, "Brother Ren is seventeen years old now, have you ever met the girl you like?"

"If I remember correctly, Big Brother Pan is about the same age as me." Wang Ren squinted his eyes at Xue Pan and said, "Isn't it because you have never been engaged?"

"This, this is not the same." Xue Pan said: "Brother Ren, you should also know me. I am used to spending time and money on weekdays. To me, marrying a wife means being restrained. I don't want to be so early. He's being managed to death, just like Brother Lian of Jia's family."

Aunt Xue, who was eavesdropping behind, stomped her feet angrily.

What a fool!

Xue Pan, who didn't realize what he said until he finished speaking, immediately changed his words: "But brother Ren is different from me. Brother Ren entered the court so early, and he will often be troubled by things in the future. There is no beautiful wife in the backyard." Help me to see how it works! Besides, I must find a virtuous person. It's like..."

"Brother Pan, don't need to say more." Wang Ren vetoed: "I will not consider marriage within a few years. To be honest, I visited the mountain gymnasium a few years ago, and an old Taoist once said that I have a special face. It is only possible to get married at a later time. Getting married too early is likely to cause disaster."

Xue Pan was taken aback, and said, "How can this old man say..."

"Whether Big Brother Pan believes it or not, I believe it anyway." Wang Ren said, "It doesn't matter if a man marries a wife for a few years at night, just like what Brother Pan said, I'm on the way to the top, don't you think I won't be able to get married after a few years?" Do you want a wife?"

Xue Pan was dumb.Wang Ren can be late for a few years, but his sister can't afford to wait!

"Then we can't get married first..."

Wang Ren shook his head: "Being engaged too early, I'm afraid it will also hinder the betrothed woman."

Xue Pan shut up and didn't speak. Although he didn't know the truth, he definitely didn't have the guts to take his sister's life.This matter had to be dropped.

After drinking, Wang Ren left.

Xue Pan looked at Aunt Xue who came out from behind, and shook his head helplessly.

Aunt Xue sighed, this marriage will not work out, there are many children from good families in the capital, just look for them again.

Wang Ren began to breathe a sigh of relief to resolve this most troublesome marriage before Wang Ziteng came back.It's only been two days of relaxation, and trouble has come to the door again.

In addition, I thought that in a few days after that, there would be rumors about Wang Renke's wife all over the street, but I didn't want Xue Pan to publicize this matter, but to eat and play.And there are indeed rumors of wife restraint all over the street, but the protagonist is not Wang Ren, but the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang.
