[Red House] World Transformation Project

Ruan Qing received an invitation from Wang Ziteng before leaving.

She frowned, a little surprised.

There is a difference between men and women, even brothers and sisters have to avoid suspicion. Now Jia Zhu and Jia Yuanchun rarely get along in private, let alone Wang Ziteng and his sister, they may not have seen each other for at least ten years.

Ruan Qing was a little unfamiliar with Wang Ziteng's face.

She didn't refuse either, and followed the servants to a spacious room. Through layers of bead curtains, she vaguely saw the figure of a middle-aged man.

Ruan Qing: "..."

Just knew it would be like this.

She subconsciously asked, "Brother?"

Through the curtain, he sighed, "Sister, I haven't seen you for many years."

Ruan Qing was silent for a moment, and said, "Brother, just say what you want."

Wang Ziteng said: "Yesterday, the Holy Majesty relegated another official from the clan."

Ruan Qing was stunned for a moment, and said: "That's a pity, I don't know where he has been demoted, so I can ask someone to take care of him for a while. I don't understand anything about the court, and I hope that elder brother will take care of himself."

He is obviously not yet forty, but now his temples are gray. He has really had a bad time these years. It is not good for Li Zhi to directly ransack the family and exterminate the family to cause panic, and it is easy to accidentally injure innocent people, but she can use a soft knife to sharpen it bit by bit. Come down, and by the time they realize something is wrong, the left and right arms are almost broken.

He knew that the Wang family was gradually going downhill. In fact, except for the Rongguo Mansion, the four kings and eight princes were constantly being suppressed by the emperor. He wanted to ask Jia Daishan for help, but found that the man had already been with the emperor. What's the use of a marriage relationship? ?

He was not reconciled, and did not dare to retreat, so he could only continue to resist like this, even though he knew that his family's downfall would come sooner or later.

But before that, he still wanted to leave a way out for his innocent wife and children.Wang Ziteng sighed, and said in a low voice: "I have not been in good health for the past few years, and I often feel that time is running out. If I go, I will ask my sister to take care of your sister-in-law for me. You don't have to worry too much, just... Just make sure they won't be bullied by others."

Ruan Qing can naturally see that he is in good health, which is implying that there is no need to say anything, she just said: "Nephews and nieces are all my relatives, and it is naturally my duty as an aunt, but elder brother also Remember to take care of yourself."

Wang Ziteng smiled, and said softly: "I will ask your sister-in-law to add some makeup to Feng girl some other day, and save some for Zhu'er and Yuan'er. You can go back."

Ruan Qing sighed, got up to say goodbye, and walked out. When they reached the door, she couldn't help but turn her head and said, "Brother, if you retreat bravely now..."

Li Zhi may not be able to kill them all.

But Wang Ziteng just waved his hand and said no more.

It's not that he didn't think about quitting, but it's not so easy for people who carry a mountain to let go. Not everyone can disown his relatives like 'Jia Daishan' and tear himself apart with his own people.

The family is the cornerstone of his ascension and the burden of his progress.A gentleman reads the books of sages. Which scholar did not wholeheartedly contribute to the people and the world when he was young, but he has to succumb to reality. Hundreds of members of the Wang family have to eat, so he can't ignore it.

What's more, people's greed is endless. Even if they know that there are murderous flames in front of them, there will always be people who want to reach in and get some gold. The nephew who has grown up, who can he kill with all his heart?

All I can do is sigh.

……

Wang Xifeng's marriage has come to an end for the time being, and she has temporarily returned to live in the Wang family. As a daughter of the Wang family, she must marry in the Wang family.

Ruan Qing also rejected the Li family's marriage for Jia Zhu. Although she was a little guilty, the happiness of the children is obviously more important. You can't ignore the parties' thoughts for the sake of promises. Anyway, everyone just mentioned it verbally, and there is no clear promise, so it won't be bad. The reputation of other girls.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. While Ruan Qing was busy helping Mrs. Zhang prepare for the wedding, a big event happened in the court.

There was actually a sensation not long ago, but Ruan Qing didn't take it seriously. At that time, someone wrote a letter asking Li Zhi to descend to the eldest princess, which pissed her off, and announced the girls' academy in advance, saying that she would give the eldest princess an official position.

The court hall was blown up into a pot of porridge. Even Jia Zheng, who didn't need to go to court, would frown and shake his head every day when he came back every day. idea.

She is very clear that remonstrance is also a way to leave a name in history, not to mention that it is so ridiculous that it is the first time in the world, allowing women to be officials, their reaction will inevitably be fierce, but as long as she is firm, it can be done in the end.

In fact, the royal family can be said to be the most rule-abiding but also the most unruly place. Let alone women as officials, didn't Empress Wu also become emperor?Men must suppress women's right to stand out, otherwise there will be no enjoyment. If the women are all like Empress Wu, let alone three wives and four concubines, whether they can enjoy the gender bonus is a matter of opinion.

It's like in this era, if a family only has one girl, they must recruit a son or adopt a brother, but if a woman can become an official and inherit the family business by herself, how can they eat soft food and go out of business?

Therefore, the reaction in the court was so intense that they wanted to rebel immediately, but unfortunately the military power was in Wu Ming's hands, and they didn't have that ability.

The rise of one party will inevitably squeeze the other party's enjoyment of resources. Anyway, Li Zhi doesn't care, she is not a man.

But now, Ruan Qing didn't pay attention to it for a few days, and the progress had already fast forwarded to the point where the eldest princess alone defeated the ten strong generals in the army, and the emperor specially allowed the eldest princess to go to the court to listen to the government.

However, because Wu Ming is a clear-cut emperor's party, and the lieutenant soldiers only listen to Wu Ming, many people are questioning that the princess's victory has been mixed with water, clamoring for Wendou every day.

This is more shameless.

Who doesn't know that the eldest princess grew up with the crown prince and the eldest prince since she was a child, and even taught martial arts by the eldest prince, but she just has no literary talent?The crown prince had the tutor to teach alone, and she and the eldest prince had just moved their bedding to sleep in the study room, and even worked out the experience of which posture to sleep on the table would be more comfortable.

Li Zhi was not polite to them either, and directly pointed out the selfishness of this group of people, and then said, now she is going to find a few outstanding women in the capital, if these men can't beat them, not only the eldest princess will go to court alone , if other women are strong enough, they can also be officials.

Although the courtiers all had the feeling of being jumped by an immortal for no reason, but Li Zhi talked about this point, as if they would become turtle bastards who bullied girls if they refused. Even if they had reason to refuse, they had to agree down.

After all, these men don't think that women have any talents, and they are all full of ambitions, just waiting to hit the face of the Holy Majesty and beat the restless princess back to the boudoir.

Ruan Qing: Are you serious?

She did the math, Jia Min was one of the all-powerful women she could find, Yuan Chun was one, and Wang Xifeng, who was talented in management and other fields besides literature, was also one. Take a milk doll and go up and spray with people, but they are enough to smash the faces of these people.

Ruan Qing regretted that it was too early, otherwise the girls of the next generation would be able to participate, but at the same time rejoiced that it broke out early, how many families with only children could be saved a few years ago.

However, there should be no underestimation. Ruan Qing got the courtiers who will participate in the competition from Li Zhina, and pulled Jia Min and Yuan Chun to give them a science introduction.

Wang Xifeng's talent is probably only focused on the housekeeper. Although she has read books, it is only superficial and has no capital to show. Ruan Qing thought about it and decided not to take her. Although the eldest princess has no literary talent , but there are three princesses, three people are enough, and it's not a gang fight, the more people the better.

When she got excited, she slapped the table and said, "Today, those arrogant guys must pay the price!"

Yuan Chun flipped through the lists with a face full of embarrassment, and whispered, "Madam, this is not appropriate..."

Jia Min's face was a little helpless, he hesitated to speak a few times, and said: "Are you confused? I'll let it go, Yuan'er is only so old, and you want her to face those ministers in their [-]s and [-]s?"

In addition to Jia Min's years of accumulation, Yuan Chun and the third princess are only in their teens now, the youngest Yuan Chun is only thirteen, and among their opponents, those in their thirties and forties are actually considered young, and most of them are older.

Ruan Qing: "Hiss, that's right."

But she was not reconciled, and after sending Jia Min away, she took Li Zhi to discuss: "Can you limit the age of the challenger, otherwise it will be somewhat ugly for an old man who is seven or eighty years old to target a little girl."

Li Zhi was talking to Concubine Xie in the harem, when the sudden voice made her startled, she covered her mouth with tea calmly, and said softly: "You came just in time, I was just about to tell you, Concubine Xie is The daughter of the Grand Tutor, she was very talented when she was in the boudoir, let her and Jia Min go to the adults, and then I will pick a few outstanding sons, and Yuaner and Ruxue will be fine with them."

Ruan Qing was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to remember that this Ruxue was the third princess Sheng Ruxue who was raised under Concubine Xie's lap. Unlike the eldest princess who went crazy with her two elder brothers, this third princess was a talented lady.

Concubine Xie often said that if it wasn't for the age difference, she would suspect that the eldest princess and the third princess were swapped when they were born.

Li Zhi tends to be relatively thoughtful. Seeing that she knew what she was thinking, Ruan Qing stopped talking. Jia Min may still have limited educational resources. The father of Xie Taifu's only daughter is a top scholar, so she will not be far behind. Learning from all kinds of great Confucians, the talent will not be too vain.

Ruan Qing was relieved, while helping Wu Ming track down the news of Jia Mei's orphan, and at the same time helping Wang Xifeng's wedding, at the same time, news of Li Wan and Ji came in the middle of her busy schedule.

When a girl is 15 years old, she has to hold a wedding ceremony and entertain guests, which also means telling everyone that there is a girl in my family.It's a pity that Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang just passed away at the age of 15. She hadn't given her filial piety when she was [-] years old. The family only held a small banquet and didn't invite others. The last time she attended the Jiji ceremony was more than ten years ago before Jia Min got married. Yes, this is the first time Ruan Qing has visited someone else's Jiji ceremony in such a long time.

It was not that no one invited her to participate in the past, but this kind of spreading the net was just out of etiquette, and she could come or not, so Ruan Qing was lazy and didn't go.

It's just that Li Wan...is an important character after all, so it's good to go and have a look.

Ruan Qing held the invitation, lowered her eyes, and sighed.
