[Red Chamber] Come for a hexagram?

【Text Beginning】

"What is he going to do?" Fourth Master asked.

"Today's Shenshi, he came to Dali Temple to find me, and we went out to eat together." Wang Ren's entire face was gray.

The eighth brother is definitely not as simple as finding him for dinner. I don't know what his plan will be if he has grasped such a big trick.

Thirteen: "No!"

Fourth Master: "Then go."

The two spoke together, and Wang Ren looked at them speechlessly.

From Shisan's point of view, Lao Ba had seized on them at this juncture and called Wang Ren out. He must have no good intentions.If you go there, you will be threatened. If you are not careful during the chat, you may be caught with more clues, or you may be framed and detained directly. Wang Ren can't go to the invitation of the eighth elder brother.

...If you are not careful while chatting, you may be caught with more clues, or you may be directly framed and detained. Wang Ren can't go to the invitation of the eighth elder brother.

In Si Ye's view, Lao Ba is very brave, but not very smart.He belongs to the type who holds a handful of good cards in his hand but can't play well at all. Even if he accidentally gets him a trump card this time, the fourth master will be sure that the eighth brother has no ability to hold this trump card.

"Go, it's just to catch the relationship between the two of you. Now I haven't told the father but secretly looking for you must be asking for something." The fourth master said, "As long as he can't guess what we are doing secretly, there is nothing wrong with him." It's a big problem." Fourth master was full of confidence when he said this.

Being mentioned by the fourth master, Wang Ren also slowly woke up from the panic, and began to think carefully about the meaning of the eighth elder brother, and then he nodded in agreement: "The fourth master is right. I just don't know if he will ask me to do it." What." But generally it should be coercion.

Wang Ren discussed with Si Ye and Thirteen for a long time, and they still went to Dali Temple before Shen Shi.Shisan tried to follow more than once, but was stopped by the fourth master.The eighth elder brother went to Wang Ren for dinner, and no one on the list should have Thirteen, otherwise it would be a demonstration.A look of 'Even if you know us, we are not afraid, we dare to show our affection boldly'.It's provocative.

At Shen Shi, the eighth elder brother came according to what he said, and there were not many people with him, only four guards.Besides, he came with a carriage.

It's just going to have a meal, and it's fine to get a little girl to go there. Is that place far from Dali Temple?

The capital of the Qing Dynasty was much smaller than modern Beijing, but it still occupied a vast area, but the bustling commercial street was in a specific area, not far away.

However, what is surprising is that when Wang Ren got into the carriage and went to the newly opened restaurant he mentioned with the eighth elder brother, he was surprised to find that the carriage was not going to the commercial street, but to the City gate, directly out of the capital.

Wang Ren opened the curtain in panic and looked at the desolate dirt street outside, and said in astonishment, "Where are you taking me?"

"Go to the newly opened restaurant for dinner." Eighth Prince said leisurely, leaning on the backrest covered with blankets.

"In the wild? A restaurant in the wilderness?" Wang Ren looked terrified.Could it be that the eighth elder brother really wanted to drag him to a place where no one was around and slaughter him.

"Out in the wilderness? There are beautiful mountains and rivers there, full of gardens, it's not a wild place." Eighth Brother tapped his palm with a fan, and said intoxicatedly, "You'll know when you see it, it's worth leaving Last time."

Wang Ren shut up. Anyway, he couldn't jump into the carriage and escape at this time, so he let it go.Close your eyes and rest on the back of the chair in the carriage.The eighth elder brother knew that Wang Ren was unwilling now, and who would be willing to come here after being threatened, so he didn't bother to rush to post and talk, and looked out the window to see the scenery outside.

After about half an hour's journey, the carriage stopped slowly. Wang Ren opened his eyes and looked out the window, only to find that the carriage had stopped in front of a villa.The villa is located at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by mountains and rivers.At this time, it is summer, with beautiful mountains and clear waters and beautiful scenery.The left and right sides in front of the gate of the villa are full of precious flowers, and it is really a rare beauty to see a hundred flowers in full bloom.

Wang Ren was very amazed when he saw it for the first time, and he couldn't help but praise him a lot.but……

"A newly opened restaurant?" Wang Ren looked at the eighth elder brother suspiciously. No matter how you look at it, it must be the private residence of a dignitary.

Brother Ba smiled slightly and said, "The owner of this villa doesn't live here, but is open to the outside world. He is willing to invite Master Wang to come over for dinner. It's not much different from a restaurant."

Wang Ren: It's a lot worse!Don't steal the concept!

This is basically inviting himself to Eighth Master's private villa!This is completely different from restaurants.In a restaurant, at least you can see other guests when you leave the private room, and you can find bearers to go home when you go out.But here... Eighth Master refused to let go and send him back, so Wang Ren could only stay here.No matter how beautiful the nearby scenery is, there are few people and no other tourists, and Wang Ren has no intention of admiring it.He suddenly realized that he had been cheated...a little far.

"My lord, what are you still doing at the door?" Brother Eight turned his head and smiled at Wang Ren, "If your lord likes this place, you can come here often in the future. If you like these flowers, you can take them back with you."

Wang Ren turned his head and glanced at the flower garden in front of the door, shook his head, gritted his teeth and followed Eighth Brother into the villa.

The decoration inside the villa is very elegant. Wang Ren has been to the Grand View Garden in Jia Mansion before. Although it is not as large as the Grand View Garden, the construction and decoration are indeed more troublesome than the Grand View Garden. It looks like you have come to a fairyland. a feeling of.

Speaking of which, the eighth elder brother's mother's family has no money and no power, so they have the money to build such a villa?Wang Ren was full of doubts.

Of course, this is not Eighth Master's own Zhuangzi, but Ninth Brother's.It's just that although he built this villa, he seemed to feel aggrieved by the small grounds, so he didn't want to come and live after he came here once.Since then, it has been vacant, until it was used by Ba Ye when he wanted to abduct Wang Ren this time.

Wang Ren and Ba Ye came to the garden of the courtyard. The cook here seemed to be counting the time to cook. When the two arrived, there was a pile of delicious food on the table, which was still steaming.

After the two sat down, the servants beside Wang Ren immediately filled Wang Ren with wine. Looking at the rippling wine in the glass, Wang Ren fell silent.

He also remembers that he drinks badly and drinks badly...

"I don't drink, let's have water instead," Wang Ren said.

The servant who added wine to Wang Renbu's dishes looked at Eighth Prince and asked his opinion.Ba Ye nodded, and the drink in front of Wang Ren was removed and replaced with green tea.

"How many people in this world don't like wine? Mr. Wang is really unique and unique." Eighth Master laughed.

"Eighth brother was joking, but it's just that he can't drink enough. I'm worried that I'll pour it after three drinks." Wang Ren said.

"If that's the case, let's replace wine with tea." Brother Ba said, "The chef who came to cook today is invited from a first-class restaurant. This dish of drunk chicken in red oil is his signature dish. Try it taste."

As soon as Ba Ye's words fell, the servants behind Wang Ren took a few pieces with chopsticks in a tacit understanding, and brought them to his lips as if to feed them.

Wang Ren: ...

After traveling for more than ten years, he is still not used to some customs.For example, if a big player asks his servants or juniors to put vegetables on the plate in front of them, they put them directly into their own mouths and let them be fed.It's like Mother Jia, her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law are waiting on her, she doesn't even move her chopsticks at all.And the emperor did it occasionally.But Wang Ren really didn't like it, and it was enough to help put it on the plate in front of him, and put it in his mouth to feed a child who always felt like he was zero years old.

"Just put it on a plate." Wang Ren said helplessly, "Is it true that the eighth elder brother is here this time just to let me taste this red oil drunken chicken?"

"Of course not." After taking a sip of his wine, Ba Ye said softly, "I just hope that Wei Xianneng can help me."

Wang Ren slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "What can I help Brother Eight?"

This villa is remote, and no one knows about it except the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother, and the people here are all brought by him, so the eighth elder brother is not worried that some ears and eyes will spread the word, and he speaks freely : "Now the crown prince is detested by his father, and he will be deposed again in a few days. The elder brother has also lost his intention to win the heir, and now he puts all the bets on me. The thirteenth brother has long been ignored by the father. Not on the list. Do the math, and the most likely one is me."

Wang Ren: Have you forgotten the third and fourth masters?There are a bunch of other princes too!

"Brother Ba is talking too much, there are so many princes, who knows who His Majesty will choose?" Wang Ren said.

"Hmph, they gave up fighting for this position a long time ago." Eighth Master said nonchalantly, "Third Brother is still thinking about it now, but it's a pity that he is soft-tempered, too hesitant, and has no foundation in the court, so he can't compare to me. "

Wang Ren: This point is accurate.Although the third elder brother is smart, it is a pity that his popularity is not good, and there are people who support him, but they are not as many as the elder brother.He has been very silent on the matter of seizing the heir. If he hadn't beaten the big brother with a stick so that he couldn't stand up anymore, I think the eighth brother would not have noticed this gentleman who always keeps smiling and has a restrained personality. third brother.

"Now that the crown prince has been abolished, what future do you have with the crown prince?" Eighth elder brother said plainly.

Wang Ren almost spit out a mouthful of tea, what does it mean that he followed the prince?Which eye of yours has seen that he belongs to the prince's school?

"I know you have a good relationship with the thirteenth brother, and you have often excused the prince in front of the emperor. But the prince has settled down again, and there is no possibility of a comeback. Why do you follow the stubborn fourth brother for the sake of the thirteenth brother?" Serving allegiance to the crown prince." The eighth elder brother had a regretful expression on his face.

Wang Ren: ...

No wonder you can't beat Fourth Master, Eighth Brother, you are so sweet.

I thought that if the matter between him and Shisan was discovered, the eighth master would definitely use this to threaten them not to support the fourth master. Unexpectedly... the eighth elder brother always thought that they were loyal to the prince with the fourth master? !

Well, he admitted that the fourth master and himself had contributed a lot to the prince's re-establishment.But in fact, it was just a push along the momentum of the time, just to make a good impression in front of the emperor.This time the prince was once again scolded by the emperor, can you see that the fourth master and himself have gone too far?They are simply waiting for the crown prince to be deposed!And Eighth Brother actually thought...

Wang Ren lowered his head and took a sip of his tea. Since you have misunderstood me, how can I be worthy of myself if I don't climb down the pole!

"Eighth Prince is worrying too much. I'm not on the prince's side, nor is it on any side." Wang Renyi said righteously, "As for the prince, that's not the minister's business."

"As a virtuous person, you are not afraid that I will tell the father about you and the thirteenth brother?" Eighth Prince smiled. He obviously didn't believe Wang Ren's words. The more Wang Ren said this, the more he thought that Wang Ren was covering up.

"What exactly do you want me to do?" Wang Ren frowned.
