The Bandit Gentleman of the Red Chamber

Lin Chen has been studying with Mr. Zhuang since he was seven years old. He naturally knows that Mr. Zhuang is already married, and his wife is the prostitute of Zhang Puxun, the Marquis of Yongyi. However, he has never heard Mr. Zhuang mention his wife and children at home. At this time, I saw my "teacher's wife".

The woman sitting at the bottom of the hall looks delicate, gentle and demure. She is wearing a moon white cross-collar gown with flowers, and only a golden silk bee butterfly chasing chrysanthemum is inserted obliquely at her temples. She is smiling slightly at this time. She was talking to Mr. Zhuang, and it was a pair of Bi people - if you ignore the reddish corners of her eyes.There were two children, one big and one small, by her side. The older boy was staring at Lin Chen angrily, but the girl lowered her head and looked timid.

Mrs. Zhuang first asked her husband about his diet and daily life in detail, but all he got was a cold "everything is fine, Madam is interested".

She didn't expect that Zhuang You would be so disrespectful to her in front of Lin Chen, but she could only suppress her grievances and smiled: "These days the second master lives outside, and the concubine is always on the lookout, lest the master will eat her." I'm not used to living here, seeing that everything is fine with Master today, I feel relieved." He said quietly while hugging the boy next to him, "It's just that we, Brother Yun, miss Dad day and night! We were talking in our dreams last night. They were all talking about the second master, and the concubine couldn't bear it, so she brought my brothers and sisters here."

Lin Chen was really not interested in inquiring about Mr. Zhuang's family affairs, so he quickly stood up and took his leave. Mr. Zhuang shouted: "There is no courtesy! The guests are still here, where are you going!" ...Lin Chen really didn't dare to look at Mrs. Zhuang Zhang's face...

But Lin Chen really underestimated this teacher's wife. She was not annoyed when she heard this, but smiled at Lin Chen: "You are Lin Chen? I heard them say that the second master's student is a very good student. The handsome young man, I finally met him, he is really a good boy." Lin Chen said hurriedly, not daring to dare, and stepped forward to salute again.

Zhuang You frowned, and said impatiently to Mrs. Zhuang: "What are you doing here again today? You think the house is not messed up enough by you, and you want to meddle in my other courtyard?" Even Lin Chen is the head It was the first time to see Mr. Zhuang being so ruthless.

After all, Mrs. Zhuang Zhang is also a woman, her eyes were already red when she was scolded by her husband in front of outsiders, but she just tried not to let the tears fall, hugged Brother Yun tightly and said in mourning: "Second Master, what is this? What? The second master has been building a mansion to live in another place since he returned to the capital. The concubine knew that he was wrong, which made the second master angry and dared not defend himself. But Brother Yun, he is just a child! The second master left It's been six years, and this child hasn't seen his father in six years! I dare not ask Second Master for forgiveness, but I only ask Second Master to look at the child's face, so that the children can return home after being free. Meet my dear father." Brother Yun was also wailing: "Dad, Yun'er misses Daddy, Daddy go home!"

The mother and son hugged each other and cried into a ball, so miserable!But Zhuang You can't be moved by just a few words, not to mention that Zhuang Zhang doesn't have too many criminal records. She has been back for more than half a year, and she just came to cry at this time. What's the matter.

At this time, the servant girl who was waiting on the side had already quietly retreated, leaving Lin Chen embarrassed by Mr. Zhuang's side and pretending to be dead.Seeing that everyone had gone out, Mrs. Zhuangzhang cried even more: "Second master can even let students live in him, brother Yun is your own flesh and blood! Second master's behavior is really chilling!"

Zhuang You sneered: "Brother Yun is my flesh and blood, isn't Brother Rui and sister Qian? I have a lot of flesh and blood like him. If you feel wronged, you can go back to your natal family. I won't stop you." you."

There was a reason why he didn't want to see this daughter-in-law. When the old Yongyihou was still there, his family really contributed a lot before he ascended the throne. Princess Shuyi was grateful to his family and begged Zhang to be his daughter-in-law.But Mrs. Zhang is really not a reassuring temperament. She feels that with her own background, it is enough to be a queen, so she looks down on this husband who has never been an official or even has an official position.However, at that time, the power in power was not stable, and the Marquis of Yongyi held the military power, and it was time to win over the Zhang family. The Zhang family was unparalleled for a while, and the Zhang family relied on themselves. Also dare to contradict.Even now that the Zhang family is in decline, she often mentions her family's kindness to the royal family, and keeps her mouth shut just to plan for her natal family. As long as she is a man, such a daughter-in-law will not like her.

If it weren't for the fact that her natal family was in trouble, and she was too stunned by the gossip from the noble family in the capital, Zhuang Zhang wouldn't come over no matter what she said. I didn't expect her to be so humble, but she was still rejected mercilessly , I couldn't help being ashamed and angry in my heart, and said angrily: "Second Master is so cruel! Anyway, a husband and wife are together, so it's possible that Second Master will not leave a way for the concubine to survive?"

Zhuang You didn't seem to hear it, he saw off the guests loudly, and even explained to the housekeeper who hurried over: "You pass a word to the mansion, just say: 'Second Grandma is not in good health, let her live well when she goes back. Keep it up, don’t be startled.’ Brother Yun is at a difficult age, so don’t let him disturb grandma, and give it to the princess, and she can relieve boredom by raising her.”

Mrs. Zhuangzhang wanted to speak, but was "pleased" by several strong women who covered their mouths with handkerchiefs. Brother Yun followed, crying, but the little girl who came with her was still standing timidly. On the side, a pair of big watery eyes looked at Zhuang You without blinking.

Zhuang You went over and picked her up, and smiled at Lin Chen: "This is my eldest daughter, Sister Qian, who is about the same size as your younger sister, so you should be an extra girl." That means she is seven years old. ?It really doesn't look like it... Lin Chen stepped forward to give the little girl a half-respect, and called "Sister Qian", but Sister Qian was evasive, obviously not aware of these etiquettes.

When Mr. Zhuang saw this, he couldn't help sighing, and said with a wry smile: "The family is unfortunate, but today I made you laugh. Back then, because of today's... Mother proposed such a family relationship for me. How can I imagine that she looks like this !" In that tragic battle, Empress Zhao Jingwen took Jinshang and Eldest Princess Shuyi with her, without the support of her mother's family, without the trust of the Holy Majesty, she had no choice but to rely on marriage to consolidate her power.Zhuang You also dedicated his marriage to this, but the price was really huge...

However, Lin Chen didn't dare to comfort Mr. Zhuang at this time, so he could only ask, "Sir, Mr. Shicai... She came to the door, but something happened to the Yongyihou's residence?"

Mr. Zhuang put Sister Qian on the couch, looked at the girl's slender wrist and frowned, and sneered even more when he heard Lin Chen's question: "You are so brave! A few days ago, I had a heart-to-heart talk with King Lianjun, and kept saying that I would Interacting with people of the same generation! She must have come here to find a job for her useless nephews. Since the old Hou Ye has gone, this family will only be left with no eyesight!"

Lin Chen was taken aback. Mr. Zhuang knew everything, but Mrs. Zhuang was not allowed to mention it. He made it clear that he wanted to block the way of the Zhuang family. The Yongyi Hou's mansion was declining day by day, and his in-laws refused to support him. So who can I ask... …

But it turns out that today's thoughts have already been moved to these veterans?
