[Red Chamber] Come for a hexagram?

【Text Beginning】

Hearing Hongli's name, Wang Ren's mouth twitched. What a coincidence, is it this year's birthday?

It happened that there was no morning morning the next day, so they decided to visit Fourth Master's mansion the next day.

That night, when Wang Yi came back from the Guozijian Academy, he found something strange at home.Since he was admitted to the Guozijian, his teacher went to wander around and couldn't come back in a short time.And during this period of time, his elder brother would sometimes live in Dali Temple or go to live with Brother Thirteen next door.The only person who is always in this family is himself.So every night when I came back, the servants and maids who waited on people basically made money around themselves, helping to carry schoolbags, take off their coats, fetch water and wash their faces.But now he has been in for a quarter of an hour, and still no one comes to serve in his yard.Is it because the maids in the family are starting to be lazy, or is something wrong with this family?

But now he has been in for a quarter of an hour, and still no one comes to serve in his yard.Is it because the maids in the family are starting to be lazy, or is something wrong with this family?Wang Yi tends to the second type.So he lifted the curtain and walked out of his small courtyard. Just as he took a step, he saw a servant girl walking hurriedly with a basin of water. When he met Wang Yi, he immediately bowed his knees and saluted, and then left.Wang Yi stopped her and asked, "What happened at home today?"

"The master picked up a little girl outside today." The servant girl smiled and said, "I plan to take it as my adopted daughter. It's just that the girl is too young and a bit noisy. The servants are waiting on you."

Wang Yi frowned. Big brother picked up a little girl?

"Big Brother is at home?" Wang Yi asked.

"Yes. I am coaxing that girl right now." The servant girl smiled, "It may be the first time to be a father, and I am very happy."

Wang Yi: ...

"You go first." Wang Yi let the little girl go, turned around and went to Wang Ren's yard.Before reaching the door of the room, Wang Ren's voice was heard through the curtain: "This? No, this is too gorgeous. Then... this?"

"Master." This was Wu Mei's voice, "Let's leave the work of cutting clothes to the servants."

"I know, I'll leave it to you." Wang Ren's voice said, "I'm just picking a suit."

Wang Yi took a deep breath, opened the curtain and walked in, and said to Wang Ren with a smile on his face, "Brother? Are you coming back today?"

"En." Wang Ren replied casually without turning his head.

Wang Yi tilted his head, leaned over to look at the girl, and said, "Brother, where did this child come from?"

Wang Ren was taken aback, and turned to look at Wang Yi. Just when he was about to say that this was Wang Xifeng's daughter, he suddenly thought that since he planned to hide it, it would be better not to tell anyone, so he said, "This is a child I picked up outside."

"I picked it up." Wang Yi panicked, "Brother! Is this child abducted? Then we need to file a case for investigation!"

Wang Ren froze for a moment and said, "No need. This child was thrown out in the wild. It must be a child from a poor family who can't support him."

"Since that's the case, elder brother should find a good family to adopt." Wang Yi said.

"Why bother with that, I'll just keep it. It's just a girl." Wang Ren said, "It's not like I can't afford it."

Wang Yi had a sad face on his face: "But... big brother... you haven't married a wife yet, this girl... who will teach you?"

"Tomorrow, I will go to the mansion of the fourth elder brother, and just ask for a foster mother." Wang Ren said.

"Even if someone teaches, the name of this motherless eldest daughter is a bit..." Wang Yidao, "Brother, I didn't pour cold water on you. It will be difficult for such a girl to find a husband in the future. If you want to adopt a child, why don't you find a husband?" a boy?"

"Then you mean... to adopt another older one?" Wang Ren said.

Wang Yi: No, that's not what I mean. ==

"Forget it, since eldest brother likes raising it, let's raise it." Wang Yi sighed helplessly.

Wang Ren: Don't talk about it like raising a dog!

"How old is this girl?" Wang Yi asked.

"It should be one and a half years old now." Wang Ren replied casually.

Wang Yi: One and a half years old... I know clearly.One and a half years old... Heh, he guessed who this child was.

Wang Yi looked at the girl lying on the bed coldly and said softly, "It's really her luck to be recognized by the elder brother as a righteous daughter..."

"Probably." Wang Ren said.

"Brother! Today the teacher is teaching in the school. I don't understand much..." Wang Yi stretched out his hand to grab Wang Ren's arm and pulled him away. "Brother, tell me more."

Wang Ren turned his head to look at the little girl with nostalgia, and then followed Wang Yi out of the house and went to the study.

"Brother, this girl needs a lot of taboos to raise." Wang Yidao, "Even if it's her own father, he can't always stay by her bedside. Besides, Big Brother still has business to do, so it's enough to have a servant girl to take care of her."

Wang Ren nodded.There are really many rules in this dynasty.

That night, Wang Ren was dragged by his younger brother to read the contents of "University" for so many years. Although he is not very proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, it is still possible to talk about the contents in it.After the lecture was finished, it was Haishi, and it was time to go to sleep.Niuniu was taken to her own room by the maid to take care of her, Wang Ren naturally couldn't see it.Just like what Wang Yi said, no matter how fresh he likes the feeling of being a father, he can't always hang around this girl.

Because he went to bed late the night before, Wang Ren got up late the next day.When he came out of the wash, Lord Thirteen was already waiting in the front hall.After the two had breakfast together, they let a maid hold Niu Niu, took a few servants with them, and went straight to the fourth master's mansion.

When fourth master came out and saw the child in the arms of the maid next to Wang Ren, he was in a daze.To use a modern word to describe it is obsessive.

Where did the child come from?

Why are you bringing your children to me?

"Ahem, fourth brother." Thirteen felt that it would be better to speak up by himself, "I want to ask you to borrow a tutor."

The fourth master glanced at his thirteenth brother suspiciously, then looked at Wang Ren, and asked, "Whose... belongs to this child?"

"Mine." Wang Ren replied.Seeing Fourth Master's face suddenly darken, he said, "Adopted adopted daughter."

Fourth Master's face was slightly better, but he still had doubts on his face.As a man, he understands the bad nature of men.Wang Ren turned his head and stretched out his hand to the maid. The maid hesitated for a moment, then handed the child into Wang Ren's hands, bowed to the three people in the room and immediately retreated.Then there were only three big men and a baby left in the room.

"It's my sister's only daughter." Wang Ren said, "Before she left, she gave the child to me. But I don't plan to let this child be named Jia! Or I know that my surname should be Jia!" Wang Ren said every time the word Jia was mentioned. There was such a twist in his expression.Speaking of Jia, I think of the old lady in Jia's mansion!

Seeing Thirteen nodding to him, Fourth Master said with relief, "Jia's mansion? Those men from Jia's mansion should also be released someday."

"It's been released?" Wang Ren asked suspiciously, "Is it all right?"

"No, the result came out." Fourth Master said, "Except for that Jia Zheng, everyone else will be exiled to the frontier."

Wang Ren shook his head helplessly: "With their physical condition, I'm afraid they won't be able to make it to the border."

In ancient times, there were no airplanes or trains. Even if there were horse-drawn carriages, it was not the treatment that prisoners would have.They can only go step by step.No martial arts training, never doing farm work, a nobleman who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun at home, can he really endure that hardship?That's really a long journey of three thousand miles.

"It has nothing to do with us, so don't worry about it." The fourth master turned around and said, "It just so happens that Hongli has four nuns by his side. He doesn't need so many, so I just share one with you." These nuns are all from the palace. The one who came out used to be a court lady.And before entering the palace, she was also a lady of everyone, but it is a pity that she spent many years in the palace.Such nuns are all of imperial rank, and people who are not relatives of the emperor will never be invited.

"Thank you fourth brother." Thirteen hurriedly thanked.

Fourth Master snorted awkwardly and shot Wang Ren a look.

Is it really the daughters of the two of you who have come to raise her? Wang Ren's adoptive daughter has been educated and the nanny turned out to be Shisan who came to thank her.

Wang Ren smiled silently at Fourth Master, and smiled desperately.Don't say a word.

At this time, the child in Wang Ren's arms woke up, and before he opened his eyes, he opened his mouth wide and began to cry.The three adults in the house were startled.

"Is it time to feed?" Thirteenth Master asked with concern.

"I don't know." Wang Ren said, "Wu Mei said that different cries of children have different meanings... Can you hear it?"

"No." Thirteen said.

The fourth master silently watched the two big men circle around the child but didn't know what to do, and yelled at the backyard: "Come on! Invite Fujin here!"

A servant at the back responded, and after a while, Fujin in formal clothes came to the front hall. When he saw Wang Ren, he was startled. Just as he wanted to avoid it, he heard the fourth master say: "There is no need to hide, my family." That is brother'sister'.

Fujin looked puzzled, but his attention was immediately attracted by the crying child in the center, he stepped forward a few steps and waved a handkerchief and said, "Go away, big men don't look down on children!"

This Fujin is from the Wulanara family, and also the first wife of the fourth master, and his first wife.He has been with fourth master since he was a child.She also had a son for the fourth master before, but unfortunately she left when she was eight years old, and now she has no children under her knees.Now when I see a doll, I feel very distressed. I immediately stepped forward to hug and coax the baby. After checking the baby, I said: "Master, the baby is hungry."

Fourth master said: "Then let you take care of it first, so that we can talk by ourselves."

With a happy expression on his face, Fujin smiled slightly, nodded to Shisan and Wang Ren, and carried the child to the backyard to find a nanny to feed him.

Wang Renerkang was left alone: ​​My child...

"What are you looking at!" The fourth master knocked on the table with his fan to bring Wang Ren back to his senses, "It's just a girl, so why don't I return it?" Who cares!He has kids too!Both boys and girls!

Wang Ren: Seeing Fujin's expression just now, I'm very worried...

"Could it be true that you came to see me today just for a teaching mother?" Fourth master said, "It's enough to send a letter for such a small matter, why come here in person."

Thirteen shook his head: "Of course we are not here just for such a trivial matter." After that, Wang Ren and Thirteen talked about Yi Ming's plan, but Yi Ming didn't mention it at all.Shisan didn't mention it, and Fourth Master wouldn't rush to ask. He was 100% assured of his younger brother.

"Sounds good." The corner of the fourth master's mouth curled up with a smile, "And I have already thought of the candidate for the big brother."

Thirteen asked doubtfully, "Who?"

"The third one."
