[Red Chamber] Come for a hexagram?
Chapter 59
Knowing that the matter had been revealed and there was no room for turning around, the madam sat on the ground and cried loudly: "Prince Teng! After all, it's all your fault!"
"You! You still depend on others for what you did yourself!" The prince panted heavily.
"It's not your fault or whose fault it is!" The lady cried bitterly: "When I married you, you were only a fourth-rank official, and my father was your mentor. Climb up! I am the eldest daughter of a dignified second-rank official, and I have been doted on and grown up since I was a child. But since I married you, will I not be wronged one day? If you marry me back, you will be enshrined as a Buddha. The ones who are close to me are all the aunts in the courtyard. The first child born did not come out of my stomach, but a concubine in the side room! Fortunately, it is not a son, otherwise, where would I put my face? Wait for me My father has passed away, and my natal family has no one to support me, and you don't even look at me seriously. I have been married to you for four years, and there are four concubines in your backyard, and I am pregnant for the first time!"
Wang Ziteng looked at this soft-spoken woman in surprise, as if he had just met her.
"And on the second day when I found out that I was pregnant." Madam cried: "A second-class maid in my yard was also found to be pregnant. Wang Ziteng! Have you ever taken me seriously! Go and see Which mistress of other aristocratic families is more magnanimous than me? Have I ever withheld money from the aunts in the backyard? Have I ever forced your concubine daughters? Who of them is not married in a good way! But how do you treat me! I was tortured to the point of wandering before the gate of hell, and when I survived and learned that I could no longer conceive, did you ever comfort me? Did you raise that child for me or for the son that the dead girl gave birth to you! Looking at that face that looks more and more like her every day, do you know how I feel! Wang Ziteng, do you really think I am a Bodhisattva?"
Wang Ziteng shook his hands and stared at her with wide eyes.In the end, he collapsed on the chair, seemed to be several years old, and waved helplessly: "Forget it, you go to the Buddhist hall. Don't come out in the future."
Seeing this, a trembling servant girl hiding behind immediately stepped forward to support Madam, and led her to the backyard.
Wang Ziteng looked at the dark sky outside the door, now he has lost the trust of the emperor, and this kind of virtue is at home, the prince's recent behavior is a bit absurd.That's all, that's all.That's it.
The next day, a letter of resignation was delivered to Kangxi.
Kangxi opened it and looked back and forth, then threw the booklet on the table, and sighed a long time: "I actually picked it at this time."
Li Yu stood aside silently.
"Wang Ziteng asked to sue his old man and return to his hometown. I can't refute this reason." Kangxi said with a smile: "In ancient times, those who wanted to show virtue to the world first ruled their country; those who wanted to rule their country first ordered their families; Those who keep their family in order should first cultivate their body. Now Wang Ziteng is cultivating his body, but his family is not in order. Li Yu, are the rumors in the market believable?"
"You mean...a rumor that you didn't mention it?" Li Yu asked cautiously.
"Sure enough, you also know." Kangxi smiled and said, "It's a pity, he is a good person."
"Ma Qian of the Taishi Company is still writing the "Historical Records" when he is sentenced to the palace, and Sun Bin is still able to defeat Pang Juan when he is punished." Li Yu said: "Your Majesty, talent has nothing to do with physical disabilities."
"That's right." Kangxi smiled and said, "Li Yu, you know quite a lot."
"Slaves serve His Majesty, so you can't be illiterate." Li Yu laughed.
"That's right." Kangxi picked up Wang Ziteng's booklet, thought about it, and drew a big red circle with a Chinese ink brush on the bottom of the booklet: "In that case, if Wang Ziteng wants to resign, let's just resign. "
That night, Wang Ziteng received the imperial decree, allowing him to resign.At the same time, a lot of fertile land, money and courtyards were given, but surprisingly, they were not knighted.
Wang Ziteng had an expected look on his face, and bowed his head respectfully to thank you.
The mainstay of the four major families, Wang Ziteng, the first-rank envoy of the Beijing Camp, has asked to resign himself. This is big news in the capital.Not only the people and the aristocratic families, but even the princes were alarmed.Before that, Wang Ziteng had always been the target of the princes, but it was a pity that he had always expressed that he was on the side of the prince.And before he lost his Sacred Heart, he resigned on his own initiative, gave up everything and lived at home?
Some princes also guessed the deep meaning of Wang Ziteng's actions. In many people's eyes, Wang Ziteng is just an old fox, and he will never do anything without any benefit.Although many people guessed that it was because of those rumors, wondering if something like that really happened in Wang Ziteng's house.
And this kind of news caused the greatest turmoil in the Jia family.Prince Teng of the Wang family has no influence, although there is still a son who is also an official in the court, and he is quite favored.But so what, after seeing him a few times, I knew that not only was he not close to the Jia family, but now he was having trouble with his own family as well.Unexpectedly, Wang Xifeng felt the bitterest in his heart when Wang Ziteng resigned from office due to all this trouble.
Not only Wang Xifeng, but Mrs. Wang was also on fire. She wanted to go back to her brother's house to have a look, but she was turned away because Wang Ziteng was not at home, and Mrs. Wang was locked up, so there was no one to welcome her.
The place where Wang Ziteng went was not elsewhere, but Wang Ren's new home.
And he didn't go alone, he quietly asked people to bring several pretty and obedient girls, as well as some medicinal materials, if it wasn't for the fear of touching the pain in Wang Ren's heart, he wished he could even bring the old doctor with him.
When Wang Ren invited Wang Ziteng into the house, he was shocked when he saw several boxes brought in and a few girls with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.
What does this mean?
Wang Ziteng sat at the top and stayed for a while before explaining why he came: "Son, how are you doing these days?"
Wang Ren nodded.
"Is your job...really not good enough?" Wang Ziteng asked again.
Wang Ren's complexion changed, he took a deep breath, turned his head, stood up and knelt down in front of Wang Ziteng with a plop, and said: "My son is not filial, he can't carry on the family line of his ancestors, and he can't marry a wife and have children."
Even though he was prepared in his heart, Wang Ziteng still felt dark when he heard Wang Ren's confession.
It's too bad, I went out of Beijing once, and my only son was scrapped by his mother after he came back.What the hell did he do.
"Go home and face the ancestors without shame, and beg my father to kick me out of the ancestral hall." Wang Ren said again.
Prince Teng waved his hand: "Get up."
Wang Ren knelt down and couldn't get up.
"Get up!" Wang Ziteng said loudly: "Even if you are abolished! Even if you never marry a wife, I will not kick you out of the ancestral hall because of this! You are my son! For the rest of your life!"
Wang Ren was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "If I am white, I have never made friends with elder brother, and I have not received the emperor's attention. Would father still say that?"
Wang Ziteng was taken aback.
"Pretend I never said that." Wang Ren said in a low voice.
"We are virtuous." Wang Ziteng said softly: "I am getting old, your mother...is in the Buddhist hall, and will never come out in this life. You can't see her when you go back, and she can't control you. You still don't want to go back ?"
Wang Ren shook his head: "Father, have you figured out where to adopt the child?"
"Are you serious..." Wang Ziteng asked.
"I'm annoyed when I see women now." Wang Ren said, "If you don't want them to be beaten to death by me, then take them away."
Wang Ziteng was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Okay, if you don't want it, then don't. You should get up first. If you don't have any heirs, just adopt one."
"Father, let's adopt one." Wang Ren said, "I don't have a wife, and now there is no woman in the backyard of my house. I don't know how to raise children."
Wang Ziteng: ...
"Father adopts one, put it under mother's name, and raise it by my aunt's side, it's better than following me." Wang Ren said: "I won't move back."
"Forget it, if you don't move, don't move. Let's live separately." Wang Ziteng said: "Fortunately, the house is not far away. If you don't want to keep those girls in the room, you can use them as maids. I will bring you Some medicinal materials, if you have nothing to do, ask your maid to make you some medicinal food to nourish your body."
Wang Ren nodded.
"Then can you get up?" Wang Ziteng said.
Wang Ren paused for a moment, and then he felt a little numbness in his knees, so he stood up slowly.
"I've resigned now." Wang Ziteng said, "I won't be able to help you much in your official career in the future, so you can go by yourself."
Wang Ren nodded, thought for a while, and told Wang Ziteng about Wang Xifeng that Kangxi told him some time ago. After hearing this, Wang Ziteng turned pale and said with a helpless smile, "No wonder the emperor has been on guard against me recently. I didn't know that they used my name to do so many things. She really followed her mother, bold and short-sighted. This is digging her own grave!"
"I reminded you several times, but they were all ignored." Wang Ren said.
"Leave them alone." Wang Ziteng said, "You don't need to take care of Jia's affairs, I have already resigned and I can't take care of them. The emperor is planning to take advantage of Jia's house. Remember in the future, stay away from Jia's house. "
He was indeed a ruthless man.
Wang Ziteng talked to Wang Ren for a long time. In Wang Ren's memory, it was the first time that Wang Ziteng had such a serious conversation with him, instead of the usual orders.It seems that this incident really hit him hard.A few days later, Wang Ziteng adopted a boy from the side branch. He was only seven years old, but he was already very sensible.He knew why he was accepted into the Wang family, and he also knew who the current Wang family wanted to please.Wang Ren once saw him when he went back to Wang's house, and the boy who had changed his name to Wang Yi yelled very sweetly.
Wang Ren, Wang Yi, hehe.Wang Ziteng, you useless name!
Mrs. Wang at Jia's mansion was urged by Wang Xifeng, and originally planned to go to her brother's house to ask why, but the first time she caught up with him, he was not there.Just as she was planning to go to the second stall, something happened to her beloved Jia Baoyu.Originally, after knowing that Lin Daiyu had decided to marry, Jia Baoyu was listless every day and had no energy. He always recited some sad poems, and stared blankly at the place where Lin Daiyu lived before when he had nothing to do.And after falling into a dream one night, the whole person was even more bewildered. After waking up, he was in a trance, shouting back and forth that the fairy plant that sister Lin had turned into had grown up and was taken away, saying that he wanted to snatch it back.I don't know anyone, the crazy ones only need grass.If there is something green in other people's hands, they will grab it and look at it.Mrs. Wang was so anxious that she got angry.It was useless to find a lot of doctors. She even invited Taoist priests. She spent a lot of money, but it didn't work at all.Until a lame Taoist came to the door, claiming that he had a way to heal.Thinking of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, Mrs. Wang let the lame Taoist in.The Taoist reached out and grabbed the jade tied around Jia Baoyu's neck, muttering words.After a moment, he let go of his hand, then turned around and left.As soon as he stepped out the door, Jia Baoyu woke up behind him.He opened his eyes and looked out the door, only to hear someone singing outside: "
Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but they can't forget their fame!
Where will the past and the present meet?A pile of grass in the barren mound is gone.
The world knows that gods are good, only gold and silver can not be forgotten!
In the end, I only hate to get together, but for a long time my eyes are closed.
Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but only the wives can't forget it!
Jun said kindness on his birthday, and Jun died with others.
Everyone knows that gods are good, only children and grandchildren can't forget it!
There have been many infatuated parents since ancient times, who has seen filial children and grandchildren? "(1)
Jia Baoyu stared outside bewilderedly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"You! You still depend on others for what you did yourself!" The prince panted heavily.
"It's not your fault or whose fault it is!" The lady cried bitterly: "When I married you, you were only a fourth-rank official, and my father was your mentor. Climb up! I am the eldest daughter of a dignified second-rank official, and I have been doted on and grown up since I was a child. But since I married you, will I not be wronged one day?
