Old things in the Red Chamber

Wang Ren took the man home, and his wife picked him up, and saw the maid sitting in the carriage at a glance. Her teeth itch with hatred, but Wang Ren was still supported by someone, and went back to the upper room.

Wang Ren completely forgot to trouble his cousins. He stayed at home with his maid every day. The two drank from morning to night and from night to day. After ten days, when Wang Ren's daughter-in-law looked at him again, she felt that The husband's face was blue and yellow, and the circles around his eyes were black. When he was standing, his whole body was trembling. After a little bit of persuasion, he was slapped on the face.

His wife had no choice but to send someone to invite Wang Ziteng's wife back to discipline him, but they didn't come back, but sent a woman back home.

Who knew that when the woman came back, Wang Ren was very drunk, taking advantage of the wine, he was provoked by someone, his eyes were red, and he chased and beat the woman.Because of his weak health, he fell down several times when he was chasing people, which caused the women and maids at home to laugh.

The rules of the family are getting worse day by day, everyone who is sensible has voluntarily defected to Wang Ziteng's wife, and those who are left behind are also sneaky people.

Wang Ren's wife couldn't take care of the matter, so he had to ask Wang Xifeng to make amends to his aunt with her.

Hearing her sister-in-law cry once, Wang Xifeng's willow eyebrows stood on end in anger, and she immediately rushed to her mother's house with her people.

But at this time, the maid succeeded. She looked at the small box she took out from the secret room in the upper room, and found that it was only a talisman that could mobilize the camp outside the city.It is not a tiger talisman to mobilize soldiers and horses in the world.

The maid met her two accomplices and gave the box to the man, "Take it out and ask the lord to have a look, if it's true, we should get out in time and leave this place as soon as possible, I can't stay any longer. "

The man went out with the box in his arms. After a while, there was a word on the second door that the aunt had returned.

This maid is called Tianlan in the Wang family, because she has been favored these days, and there are many wives who fawn on her.Someone came to sell it specially, "Girl, you don't know, our aunt is a sweet-hearted and bitter thing, and our uncle can't get any benefit from her."

The maid was just pretending to smile. "He is both a guest and a master. When we are arguing, we can only listen."

Just as he was talking, a group of women surrounded Wang Xifeng and entered the door. Wang Xifeng saw the woman sitting in the hall. She looked good-looking, but she had an arrogant attitude, so she knew it was not a good thing.This family can't keep this woman, presumably this woman is the brother who encouraged the renunciation with his aunt.

In addition, Wang Xifeng also likes to show off his prestige, so he didn't want to say more immediately, and just said, "I sold this bitch."

Wang Ren was sleeping. He drank for a day and a night yesterday, and now he couldn’t wake up even through a curtain. Wang Ren’s daughter-in-law was worried that he would disturb the family dogs when he woke up, so she stopped Wang Xifeng, “Auntie, tie her up first. Get up and talk to your brother."

"What did he say? When he wakes up, he will have to vent his anger on his sister-in-law. I sold his heart and soul directly. When he wakes up, he will find me for revenge."

This woman named Tian Lan is really not afraid that Wang Xifeng will sell her, and she is very happy in her heart. As long as Wang Xifeng sells her, the prince's people can buy her back.

One wanted to sell and the other could be sold, but something went wrong when selling, the Wang family didn't have Tianlan's contract of selling herself.

The whole family couldn't tell where the uncle brought her back. Tianlan knew that she couldn't mention loyalty to the prince at this time, because if she mentioned it, it would cause trouble to the prince's great cause, so she simply shut up and didn't speak.

There is a woman of unknown origin in the family. If she is a good citizen, they will sue a woman for robbing a commoner girl; if she is a fugitive slave, they will sue the Wang family for hiding...

This was ten years ago, Wang Xifeng was not afraid because at that time, he didn't know anything, so naturally he was not afraid of anything.Half a year ago, she wasn't afraid. If this happened, her uncle would come forward and everything would be fine in the end, but there is no Prince Teng in this family anymore. Who can she rely on?

No matter how she asked, Tian Lan refused to let go, and Wang Xifeng directly interrogated the person who followed Wang Ren. When asked, it turned out that they were brought back from Ningguo Mansion.

Wang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief, knowing who this person is is easy to deal with.

About to order the family to send this person to Ningguo Mansion, a woman whispered to Wang Xifeng, "There is no such person in the East Mansion."

It's really that this girl is good-looking, if there is such a person, the lecherous men of the Jia family would have surrounded her long ago, and they can't wait for Wang Ren to bring her back.

Only then did Wang Xifeng discover something strange, took the people with him, and drove the carriage to Ningguo Mansion directly, threw this girl named Tian Lan in front of Youshi, and kept cursing, paying attention to the expressions of the people in Ningguo Mansion, most of them Not recognizing this woman, Jia Zhen's daughter-in-law was even more confused.

The sense of disobedience is getting stronger and stronger. Wang Xifeng still doesn't know what Jia Zhen is doing in private. Moreover, the entire Jia family, but those who know about the rebellion, all shut up and agree that it should not be publicized. Jia Zhen is not in the mansion for the first time. Said.

Therefore, most people in the two families did not know that the whole family was walking on the cliff.Regarding the departure of the Jia Lian brothers, they all believed that they wanted to rely on Jia Xun to get an errand.

After Wang Xifeng returned home, he sent someone to question the people who had followed Jia She, but since Jia She was not at home, neither were his people.

There is no man in the mansion, even the boy, who is not in the mansion and has gone to study in the palace.Wang Xifeng had no choice but to grab a handful of copper coins from the cabinet, and gave it to a little girl, asking her to find someone from the Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion to find out who it was that she brought back from the Wang family just now.

After a long time, the little girl came back. Sister Xiangxun from the kitchen of Ningguo Mansion said that the girl was brought by a distinguished guest half a month ago.They always look at people out of the corner of their eyes, saying that the distinguished guest doesn't like to drink our tea, and he brings tea leaves when he comes out as a guest.By the way, they still had wine, and some were secretly kept in the kitchen. "

After speaking, he took out a piece of tea from his bosom, smelled it and gave it to Wang Xifeng, "Second Grandma, sister Xiangxun gave it to me. She said that there were not many distinguished guests, so everyone just kept a small handful, and this one was accidentally dropped." It came down. Everyone drank the wine, but the tea was taken away by the lady on the stove, and she kept what she picked up, and I exchanged it with melon seeds."

"Good boy, find your elder sister Ping and ask her to pack a bag of melon seeds for you. Don't tell anyone about this, remember?"

After the little girl went down, Wang Xifeng picked up the tea leaves, put them under her nose and smelled them, the top-quality montmorillonite flowers.

In the early years, when Wang Xifeng's grandfather was still alive, he inspected tributes for the royal family. Naturally, Wang Xifeng knew that Mengdingshihua tea was a tribute, and the Dahongpao outside also called it a tribute. It's just a gimmick. From the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty to the present, Mengdingshihua has always been a tribute tea.

Only the royal family and clan can afford to drink tribute tea.

Wang Xifeng asked Ping'er to bring boiling hot water to brew the tea leaves and smell them.

The men in the palace are all half-grown children who have not grown up. Even if they go out, they are also court ladies. There are countless palace ladies. It is impossible for them to stay outside the palace.

The princes in the clan have eyes on their heads. Even when I first got married, I couldn't get along with them. What's more, kings generally don't make friends with foreign ministers, unless...unless! ! !

The mold was sent to Prince Zhong's Mansion, and soon, the soldier talisman was made, and the second son put the soldier talisman on his hand to play with it back and forth.

"It's a pity, this is the soldier talisman of the camp outside the city. Congratulations, this is the soldier talisman of the camp outside the city."

He said it was a pity, but he just felt that these troops could not be compared with the soldiers and horses of the world. If they got the tiger talisman to restrain the soldiers and horses of the world, colleagues from all over the place would raise up troubles with great momentum. to myself.

He said he was happy and congratulated, because this army was just outside the city, and when they came in, big things could be settled.

"My lord, don't be happy for now. Even if we get the soldier talisman, whether the general in command recognizes it is another matter."

It is the long history of the palace that speaks.

"Are there any generals in the world who don't recognize the military talisman?"

And the young master seemed very satisfied, "Don't worry, sir, we have a chance to win this time. My father has worked hard for decades, and I have been hiding my courage for nearly ten years, just for this moment."

"My lord, you may not know that the army stationed outside the city was indeed commanded by Wang Ziteng in the past. It was just replaced by Jia Gu a few years ago. You don't know about Jia Gu, so I studied his resume. On the surface, he looks like a reckless warrior, but this man has done several earth-shattering events, the first thing is to disobey the imperial decree."

Ergong is very concerned about this matter, "What made him disobey the imperial decree, I would like to hear about it."

"I heard that one winter, he was stationed in a certain place according to the imperial decree. At that time, the imperial decree clearly stated that he should not stick to it. But Jia Gu felt that the city of the Huns was only a hundred miles away from him, and he could surely win the first battle. , so he refused to fulfill the imperial decree, and led his subordinates to attack overnight. Although he made great contributions, he failed to get any rewards.

"I don't accept the military orders abroad," which is right. "If I were the emperor, I would naturally reward such people."

"It's a pity that the Supreme Emperor issued an order to reprimand him."

The corner of the second son's mouth was mocking, he was not satisfied with his instructions and his uncle sitting on the throne.I feel that only I can create a prosperous world.

"Then what else does this lord have to say, let's hear it."

"If it is said that he disobeyed orders, there is one more thing. At that time, the north was satisfied and fought with our army. At that time, the oracle bone was young and vigorous, and the old man ordered him to wait as the left wing to charge at any time. However, when the army arrived, he did not move. Until Satisfied rushed to the front, he ordered his subordinates to discard many black beans, turned around and fled, and the horses of the barbarian army bowed their heads and ate the black beans on the ground. He led the army and ran back."

The second son, who had never been on the battlefield, felt that this was not a disobedience to military orders. "As long as the army wins, it's fine, why worry about so much."

"My lord, you don't know that the biggest difference between a handsome man and a general is here. The general only cares about the gains and losses of the first battle, but the commander has to care about the gains and losses of the entire war. Even if he retreats, it must be within his plan. Jia Therefore, his plan was completely disrupted, and the old man is naturally angry."

"I have been taught, I have been taught. In the final analysis, the position of the station is different, and the things to be done are different. You mean that even if we take the soldier talisman over this time, Jia Gu may not necessarily recognize the soldier talisman."

Chang Shi nodded.

The Second Young Master rolled his eyes, "What if the emperor's cronies go with this soldier talisman? Or if I arrange someone in the army to kill Jia Gu, this soldier talisman is still useful. Anyway, why do I have to get this soldier talisman? Just send someone to kill Jia Gu, and the matter will be settled."

"My lord, Wang Ziteng died inexplicably, if Jia Gu dies again..."

"Let's blame the rebels in the south. Anyone who gets in the way deserves to die."

Chang Shi was silent for a while, and then slowly said to Second Young Master, "This matter should not be rushed, be careful not to kill people until the end, or..."

"You are too careful. A man does not care about small things. I also understand what you mean. You still mean that when you become the throne in the future, these are also the purple gold beams that bridge the sea and the white jade pillars that reach the sky. But, again, There are many talents in the world, one more is not too many, and one is not too many."

A wise person one moment becomes a confused person the next moment.Regarding his character, Chang Shi didn't know how to persuade him.

The young master put the soldier talisman in the box, and patted the box contentedly.

"Don't worry, we can always get what we want."

Recently, a happy event has captured the attention of many nobles.

The Seventh Prince in the palace married the Princess of Dongping County Wang Family.

After the news came out, many people were jealous.

Those who supported the Seventh Prince suddenly became emotional.It seems that the Seventh Prince will soon ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Some people are proud, but naturally some people can't stand it.Among them, the most obvious ones are the tenth, twelfth and thirteenth princes who are already sensible.

The tenth prince also went out of his way to run on the ninth prince, "Ninth brother, don't you envy me when you see seventh brother like this? Anyway, my younger brother is very envious."

The Ninth Prince asked back, "What do you envy him for?"

The tenth prince paused for a moment, but he didn't expect his ninth brother to ask, and I also said that there is nothing I dare not say, "Of course I envy the seventh brother for having a capable father-in-law, and when the time comes, can you help him? .”

"Where does he need my father-in-law's help?"

The tenth prince thought to himself what kind of big-tailed wolf you are pretending to be, isn't that obvious?

Although some things are obvious, sometimes they cannot be said clearly.For example, everyone is looking forward to the collapse of the father's tomb, and then the brothers will see who has the ability to ascend to the throne.

This kind of thing can only be understood but cannot be explained in words, the tenth prince flicked his sleeves fiercely and left.

The Eleventh Prince looked at the Ninth Prince worriedly, "Brother..."

"It's hard to be old. His biological mother has been a noble person until now. He has no name and no distinction in raising him, and there is no capable family for him to order. Don't look at him at this time. Don't look at how powerful he is, but he has no foundation, anyone can shoot him to death he."

"Of course I know he's not a big enemy, but where is Seventh Brother?"

"If I'm right, Father will give Seventh Brother another chance to see if he is willing to kill his relatives righteously. As long as he personally exerts some influence on his father-in-law, Father will give him priority. If he can't, he will A wealthy and idle king."

The eleventh prince let out a sigh of relief, "Who would have thought that a marriage that everyone envies is actually a bowl of poison."

"He chose this by himself. Even if he chose a girl from a common people's family, he would not be where he is today, but he doesn't know it. Wait, Brother Seven is about to leave. For the father, he If we get close to our own wife and his wife's natal family, my father has already found someone to sharpen us instead of him."

"The person you're talking about replacing Seventh Brother won't be Tenth Brother."

"How is that possible? Even if it's a whetstone, you still need to find a sharper whetstone, like the old ten, who can sharpen anyone. If you find him, it's better not to look for it."

"Who is that?"

"twelve."

"Him? Brother, I said, sometimes he is like a little lady."

"You still don't understand that as long as he has something to mold, Father will not give up on him. It's just a whetstone, not a knife. There was a day when this whetstone broke my knife , then he can become a whetstone. Don't think too much, let's go and go back to the palace as soon as possible."

On the way back to the palace, the two met a servant of the Ministry of Industry, who greeted the two brothers with smiles from afar.

It was just an ordinary greeting, and after the greeting, he didn't say anything else, and stood aside with a smile.

how to say?Anyone who wants something from them is eager to curry favor.Avoid them without asking for anything.This man speaks differently than others.It is also a strange thing to say.

The Eleventh Prince's child is more thoughtful, and he walked over, but turned back.

"You're glad to see us brothers."

The smiling servant nodded, "I have a daughter, she glanced at His Highness Ninth Prince and never forgot..."

The Ninth Prince blushed and pulled his younger brother away quickly. The two brothers returned to the palace in a hurry. The Ninth Prince still felt his face was burning hot.

Facing his younger brother's teasing gaze, the Ninth Prince expressed his attitude immediately, "His family's daughter is too uneducated, and she must never marry such a girl in the future."

The eleventh prince nodded, "He's lost his head. Marriage is an important matter, and his parents ordered him to marry his daughter into our family. He should go and tell his father. Don't you think so?"

Ninth Prince narrowed his eyes and said to him, "You seem to understand very well."

Just as he was talking, Jia Fang came in from outside the hall, frowning, seeing the two brothers bow down quickly.

"What's wrong with you, cousin?" the eleventh prince asked quickly.

"When I went back, my mother asked me about everything, including the princes in their 30s. I asked her why she was asking this, and she kicked me out."

At this moment, the eleventh prince has developed a love brain, and he suddenly understood and said to his brother and cousin. "Don't you understand such a clear thing? Of course, my cousin is getting old, and it's time to find her husband's family."
