The Honest Man of the Red Chamber

"It's hot in summer, and I'm too lazy to move. Do you want to go to the Qingxu Temple?" Jiamu wore a embroidered summer shirt made of Ge yarn, opened her mouth to take the lychee pulp that the mandarin ducks brought to her mouth, and sat facing her. Wang Guizhi said.

Wang Guizhi never liked to listen to those lively dramas, but if her eldest daughter invites her, if her mother's family doesn't go, wouldn't it be embarrassing for her?

"If you don't go, I will take the children to have fun."

Jia Mu looked at the children, "Whoever you want to go, sign up yourself. I think you can all go, let me stay at home for a day, hahahaha." She knew that if she didn't say this If this is the case, these good children must be a little uncomfortable, thinking about keeping someone with her.

Wang Xifeng clapped her hands and said, "That's great, my wife took all these monkeys away, and I happened to be happy with the old lady to wipe the cards, so that my money would not always be locked in the old lady's box. Even I, the master, have never met twice!"

It was settled, Wang Guizhi and Li Wan took the children of the family to Qingxu Temple, Wang Xifeng accompanied Jia's mother in the mansion, and then sent a letter to Ningguo's mansion, Jia Jing hurriedly asked Jia Zhen and Jia Rong to be together Youshi went to take care of him.

"This time among the show girls, the second wife went to the palace to beg for love with the empress, and helped you choose a girl from Cheng Youjian, a member of the Ministry of Industry. Tianjian took your Nian Geng horoscope and went to reconcile, within two days there will be a day, and you are not allowed to talk about going to the south!" Jia Jing coughed and explained to Jia Rong that he was getting old, and gradually sometimes felt that his mind was not clear Zhen'er was too arrogant when he was young. When he stretched his legs, he didn't know how to get old again. Fortunately, his grandson has gradually become promising and can stand up. The family business of Ningguo Mansion still has to be handed over. Only in his hands can he rest assured.

To say who Jia Rong admires from the bottom of her heart, Wang Guizhi must be one of them. Besides, the wife does not mention other methods, this beauty is extremely picky.

"Yes, yes, yes." Jia Rong responded respectfully and gratefully in her heart. Although she didn't see her wife much when she was in Lingnan, she always took good care of her. The news that her father's concubine was pregnant was also early in the morning. Tell the conveyance that he is afraid that he will not have any help, so he personally went to the empress to help him choose a wife, it is too much to repay!

You Shi asked people to rush to get some carriages and horses, and when they turned the corner, they saw Pei Feng coaxing Sister Yu to play, "On such a hot day, you are the only one who has the patience to run around with her." She laughed He said, "Come with me, Sister Yu can rest assured that you will take care of me."

Peifeng pouted slightly towards the west, "Sister Yu has aunts and uncles to accompany her, so she doesn't need me, I'll take care of it at home." Not to mention that Qin Keqing is really likable, the master was originally the most impatient Hers, when she gives birth to her brother, where are the parents who don't like children and grandchildren?This heart softened by two points, the uncle was a lecherous ghost whose bones were lightened after seeing her, grandma is not at home, if she stays in the mansion for a while, I don't know how some servants will provoke her.

Thinking of Qin Keqing, Youshi felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't take Qin Keqing seriously, "You don't have to be so careful, after all, she is still the daughter of an official family, and she has been in our house for some time. It is the uncle No matter how much you love her, you can't beat me anyway, even if she gave birth to a brother..." She whispered, "That's not as good as our sister Yu's finger." Just look at the old lady, Mrs. The gifts sent during the New Year and festivals, you know that the difference between the father and mother is like clouds and mud.

"If our side is the same as that of Xifu." Peifeng sincerely sighed, the men in Xifu have never had such a thing, they always put the wife first, the second master doesn't have to Said, for the sake of the eldest wife, the elder doesn't even want to fill in the house.Uncle Zhu originally had several girls married off, Second Master Lian’s room was clean and there was no one else around, Third Master, Fourth Master and Fifth Master, there were not even little girls around.

When I was young, on Ningrong Street, Wang Guizhi, Wang Zijiong, and Li Wan each rode in an eight-treasure chariot with Baogai and Zhuying. Originally, Baochai and Daiyu shared a car, and Meiyu wanted to ride in the same car with Shi Xiangyun. She refused to wear her own men's shirt and wanted to ride a horse, so Shi Xiangyun sat in the same car with Baochai and Daiyu, sister Qiao and sister Yu had a canopy car, and Jia Cong, Jia Ying, Jia Lan, and Lin Zongcan all rode on horses. Leading the way in front, followed by maids, maids and servants who almost occupied most of the road.People on the street stood on both sides and watched the excitement.

Shi Xiangyun looked at the signboard banners outside through the green bamboo gauze curtain, and looked at Meiyu with a little envy, "The third sister is really kind, no matter what she does, my wife will depend on her."

"You don't know how to ride a horse. If you can, it's cheap to want to ride." Lin Daiyu gently shook her fan. She entered the palace with Sister Bao. She originally felt uneasy, but she didn't expect to come out smoothly. According to what my mother said, she and her third cousin have already crossed the road...

"Where can I know which one? Sister Lin seems to have ridden before. Have you asked your wife?" Shi Xiangyun said bluntly, how could she learn how to ride a horse? In Shi's house, she often does needlework. .

However, Lin Daiyu blushed. When the crown prince was still the king of Xianjun, he sent several Western Region BMWs to the Jia family when he returned to Beijing. Everyone went to have a look. My cousin asked to ride when he saw the horses. The wife saw that the horses were twice as tall as him. The one was too big, so they sent someone to buy several high-quality ponies and brought them back. Even she had a share, and people sat on them and let people lead them. Tang coaxed the horse to run freely.That's it, once my wife even sent someone to secretly pick them up from school for a horse race in the wilderness outside the city.Even the old lady kept this matter a secret, how could she dare to tell Shi Xiangyun, so she had to forcefully say, "I just know."

"Hmph, you can't make sense, how can I be convinced?" Shi Xiangyun looked tired for a while, so he talked to Lin Daiyu.

Baochai kept silent with a smile on her face, and when she left the palace, her mother told her in detail the risks of entering the palace one by one. Seeing Daiyu and Xiangyun bickering, she only calmed down when they really quarreled .

Wang Guizhi was supported by Jin Chuan'er as she got out of the carriage, only to feel that the sun was dazzling, and she saw someone took a big umbrella to shade her. When she walked in the clouds, she saw Zhang Taoist holding incense and cloak, leading all the Taoist priests on the side of the road. Welcome, and Jia Zhenjia Rong led the children to come forward to welcome him.

After seeing Taoist Zhang for a while, Wang Guizhi gave him half a salute. After all, he was a monk on behalf of Rong Guogong. She is Rong Guogong's daughter-in-law, and the old lady should be treated politely when she comes.

Daoist Zhang hurriedly returned the gift. He became a monk for Duke Rong, and with the blessing of Jia's family, he was named the "Illusory Immortal". Seeing the second wife who is now in power, he almost couldn't speak.

I don't know that the second wife's temper avoids monks and travels far away, and she rarely contacts with outsiders. Taoist Zhang dare not say that many Taoist friends are entrusted to him. He only sees the old lady occasionally, and rarely sees her. .

Seeing Daoist Zhang following all the way, Jia Zhen came over to hold him back and said, "Grandpa Zhang, why do you always follow your wife? It's hot weather, and all the daughters are following your wife. You're sticking with us." He was still thinking I can get the beauty painting from my wife, knowing that she doesn't like these monks and priests, how can I let others disturb her elegance.

Wang Guizhi had no interest in these Taoist temples, so he accompanied the children to visit two places. After burning incense, he went upstairs first, "Just don't stand in the sun, just bring people around to play casually. After a while When you are tired and thirsty, come upstairs to listen to the play and eat some snacks, and I will wait for you upstairs."

"understood!"

Everyone smiled and responded in unison, they were all willing to go out to play with their wife, and the wife never restrained them.

Jia Cong said, "There is a scene of eighteen levels of hell over there, do you want to see it?"

"I'll go, I'll go!" Shi Xiangyun jumped up to go, and sister Yu and Qiao didn't even look at it, so they wanted to go too.

Except for Baoyu, no one else knew that he and Daiyu had already made a marriage agreement. He was a little embarrassed to speak up, but Meiyu said excitedly, "Sister Bao, sister Lin, I heard a little Taoist said that this building There is a hundred-year-old tree in the back, and there is a release pool next to it. The lotus flower is very beautiful because of its fairy spirit. It is the famous red fire lotus. Let's go there to play. What looks good is not as good as our own paintings."

Baochai was slightly plump, and there was a sense of enthusiasm. When she heard that she was playing by the water under the tree, she was already willing, "Then let's go." She only held Meiyu's hand and walked forward. When Yu'er was feeling awkward, they walked away so that they could talk.

You Shi took the playbook and asked Wang Guizhi to play. Wang Guizhi didn't see Yuan Chun, and he was wondering, so he laughed, "You don't need to make any rules with me, you can listen to whatever you like, I don't care." Lively plays are for everyone to watch, and she prefers elegant music, even if she plays a tune by herself, she still feels happier.

Li Wan knew her, so he and You Shi ordered one of his favorites, and chatted leisurely while watching the play.

After a while, some aristocratic aristocrats who had heard that the Jia family was dipping here sent some things like pigs, sheep, incense, candles, tea and silver, and someone came to see Wang Guizhi, and when she was getting impatient, she saw someone Caifeng hurried back and forth, Caifeng walked up to Wang Guizhi's ear and said, "The princess sent someone to say that she couldn't come because of something, and the master came home and said he was sick."

"Sick?" Wang Guizhi stood up immediately, "Why are you sick?" Now she was anxious, she didn't have the mind to listen to some drama upstairs, "Get ready for the carriage, I want to go back."

Li Wan didn't know what was going on, "Madam?"

"...I have something to do urgently when I go back. You are a sister-in-law. Wait for your younger brothers and sisters to play and take them home." Wang Guizhi didn't know what was going on, so he went back to Rongguo Mansion first after explaining.

In a hurry, she didn't even go to Jia Mu's place, but went back to the house to see Jia Zheng, only to see him sitting on the purple bamboo couch in a green pine coat and reading a book.

Wang Guizhi slapped all his books away, and before Jia Zheng could ask in astonishment, he asked angrily, "You said you were sick? What kind of sickness are you?!"

Seeing that she ran back from Qingxu Temple with a pale face when she heard that he was sick, Jia Zheng was satisfied, so he quickly put his arms around her and kissed her twice, "I haven't seen you since I came back, don't you?" Just sick!"

This guy is even talking sweet words!But in the end it worked, Wang Guizhi felt relieved when he saw that he was fine, "Bah, liar."

"I'm really 'sick', at least I have, um, I won't be able to go to court for two months!" Jia Zheng said, while helping her take off the outer blouse, he wiped the sweat on her chest with a towel , if it wasn't for business, he would have licked it himself.

"Why?" Wang Guizhi put his arm loosely on his shoulder and let him serve him.

Jia Zheng threw the towel away, "The emperor is too impatient, he wants the prince to be the emperor immediately..." But Emperor Yanzai did not appear old, he was clear-headed and resolute, and under his rule, the national power was flourishing day by day , the situation is thriving, and everyone who cultivates the next generation will not have any objections, they will only know that the follow-up is reliable, and continue to forge ahead with Emperor Yanzai.But Emperor Yanzai suddenly wanted to say that he was quitting and would give up the throne to the crown prince. How could the courtiers not worry about it?

How many princes in the previous dynasty failed to benefit, and now the Holy One is still in the prime of his youth, how could he be about to abdicate?

Many ministers thought that the emperor was deliberately testing them like the previous emperors, and dared not express their views. Some ministers even felt that the emperor should continue to reign, and objected to letting the prince succeed as soon as he was established.Under such circumstances, although Jia Zheng guessed that the emperor was afraid that he had made up his mind, he did not dare to spread the word. Who knows what the majesty really thinks?The unfathomable Sacred Heart is the right path.

This was a dilemma for both up and down, so Jia Zheng simply said he was sick and wanted to avoid it for a while.

Wang Guizhi admired the emperor more and more, "The emperor is really powerful, really amazing!" To be able to be above tens of thousands of people, everyone should listen to his imperial power position, and step down as soon as he says, and he can do everything he can Very human!Wang Guizhi believes that she will never be able to do it. Although she is willing to hand over a lot of her business to her children, what if everyone wants to take her out of the picture, or ask her to abdicate?Ha ha, then she will definitely not agree, she must fight that person to the death!

Looking at the worship in her eyes, Jia Zheng felt a little sour, "Yes, the emperor is very powerful." But what she said was the truth, which made Jia Zheng a little reconciled, and I heard from my second uncle that recently there was a A particularly weird rumor seems to be related to her.

As soon as he heard his words, Wang Guizhi immediately kissed him twice on the cheek, "But in my heart, you are the most powerful~ even stronger than the emperor~" All good men boast, and they must Speak up, or who knows what's on your mind.

"Naughty! How can I compare to the Holy Spirit!" Jia Zheng said, with a smile on his lips, and the two of them messed around on the couch for a while, so that she could see how powerful she was.

In the evening, Jia Zheng and Wang Guizhi went to see Jia's mother, invited Jia Amnesty to come over, and told him that he was "ill" and had to "recover at home for two months."

Mother Jia knew how bad it was, she looked at Da'er and said, "Your younger brother has already complained of illness and escaped, you should check the situation first, and be careful in everything, if you feel bad, just 'get sick'."

"The child knows." Jia Amnesty stood up and took the lead. Unexpectedly, he could still experience the emperors of the three dynasties in this life.

Seeing that his mother had something to tell his elder brother, Jia Zheng led Wang Guizhi out, "Good night, mother, I will come back tomorrow to greet you."

"No, since you're 'ill', you have to look good. You don't need to come here every day, and your wife doesn't need to come here. Let her take care of you. Just come every few days." Mother Jia said.

"Yes."

When Jia Zheng and Wang Guizhi left, Mother Jia told Jia Amnesty, "You said you don't want to marry anymore, but other things are better. It's just the people in your house. You don't care about your sister-in-law and daughter-in-law. You are so old. Oh, I'm talking about you a few more words, but it seems that I am harsh. You should be careful during this period, especially those girls bought from outside, don't be too indulgent. After this period, I will pay for it Can I buy you two good ones?"

Jia She blushed and said, "Mother, you are embarrassing me by saying this. After all, I still know the big and small things. Just rest assured, I will strictly restrain the people in the house." I indulged once before, and I almost didn't slow down. He also knows to be afraid.The life he is living now is not enough for him.

Wang Zijiong watched Xue Pan put a few boxes of things in front of the three of them, and showed them all of them like treasures. He was happy, and thought that the master had gone too early. As a director, I don't know how to be happy, and tears slowly flow from my eyes.

Xue Baochai knew what was on her mother's mind as soon as she saw it, so she quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "Seeing what my brother brought back, my mother wept with joy."

Xue Panhan smiled twice, "Actually, I didn't make any money this time, I can put these things down and earn more than 500 taels of silver, thanks to the people sent by my aunt, otherwise I might not be able to come back .”

Hearing what he said, the three women became worried again, and Xue Pan had to explain in detail before being let go.

Seeing that her son is promising now, she thought of a candidate her sister had mentioned to her, "My son, you can do it now, and I want you to take care of something for your sister."

"Mother, just tell me!" Xue Pan replied, patting his chest.

Baochai shyly turned her face sideways and hid behind her sister-in-law Zhen Yinglian, holding her breath and listening carefully.

Wang Zijiong said, "When your uncle Jia Zheng was in Shanxi, he worked hard to build a Shanxi College. There was a student named Qu Yuan. He heard that his family was good and he was admitted to Jinshi. He seems to be older than your sister. A few years older, but good-looking, your aunt has seen it. I just don't know if he is married..." A child who can make her sister praise him must be not bad, and his family is very talented. Although the family said that Xu is a little inferior to their family, but for the sake of the Jia family and the Xue family, they can love Baochai more, can't they?This is much better than her blind man groping for an elephant.

When he heard about it, Xue Pan agreed even more, "Leave this matter to me, and I will keep him accountable for eight lifetimes."

"You should also be careful, if you get married, just ignore it." If it weren't for thinking that he is the youngest son in the family, he wouldn't be as anxious as the eldest to get married, and Wang Guizhi wouldn't listen to Wang Zijiong.

"Yes, I understand this confidentiality measure." Xue Pan knows what commercial secrets are, and he has taught them in Jia's family school.

When Zhen Yinglian saw her mother-in-law and husband discussing such important matters, she didn't avoid her. She knew that they regarded her as their own. Besides, during the time when her husband was away, her mother-in-law not only took good care of her, but also asked her mother to visit her from time to time.Although she couldn't get in the way of this matter, she just sat on the side holding Baochai's hand, but she couldn't be happier in her heart.

I don't know who that source is?Baochai was thinking vaguely, looking at the moon outside the window, wondering if it was better if he didn't get married, or if he got married...

After a moment of trance, Baochai came to her senses under Yinger's call, and made up her mind to wait until her elder brother found out whether he was married or not. Then, let's talk.

Jia Zheng was 'ill', and Wang Guizhi also wanted to 'behave' well, so as to repay how Jia Zheng treated her when she was 'ill' before.

When Jia Zheng wanted to get up early in the morning, Wang Guizhi quickly held him down and said softly, "Master, you are sick, so you can't get up. Even if you can't lie down anymore, you have to wait until the children say hello to you before getting up." ah!"

Realizing that her tone was a bit weird, but what she said was reasonable, Jia Zheng lay down on the bed.

After a while, Wang Guizhi asked someone to bring in side dishes, porridge, longan-sized steamed buns and steamed buns, and did not let Jia Zheng get up, "Sir, lie down well, I will feed you!"

Heh heh heh, see if she doesn't feed him ten catties this time, she will write the word king upside down!
