Weiyang of the Red Mansion

As the New Year approached, New Year's celebrations gradually began in Beijing, but this had nothing to do with the Wang family. At the end of October, Wang Zisheng and his brothers helped Ling to go back to their hometown. Now there are only two female relatives in the capital, and the Wang family of the long family. Jun three brothers and sisters.

After the morning exercise, Wang Jun and Wang Ren accompanied their mother to dinner and were about to leave, but Fang stopped Wang Jun.

"In May of this year, the girl from the Zhang family has left the cabinet. She is married to the only son of Mr. Chen, the Minister of Dali Temple. Last year, you said that the girl you liked was still young, and you refused to tell me. This year, you are already sixteen. You and Mother, to be honest, who is the girl you are looking for, if the age difference is too big, mother will not agree to this marriage."

Hearing this, Wang Jun was taken aback, as if he didn't expect his mother to bring up this matter, and he couldn't help but feel a headache.

"Mother, my son is only fifteen years old in June this year, and his false age is only sixteen. What is there to worry about?" Wang Jun didn't find a girl he liked. Faced with his mother's inquiry, he felt a little guilty and bored at the same time. .

What are you doing getting married so early?

"You're sixteen, aren't you in a hurry?" Fang was a little annoyed, "Ren'er will reach the age of engagement next year, and in two years your younger sister will be married, aren't you in a hurry? You are their eldest." Brother, if you don't get married, what would it look like for them to get married before you?"

Wang Jun twitched the corner of his mouth, took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and said, "My son is just wishful thinking now, and you can't be the master if you say it."

"How can I not be your master? Are you going to turn the world upside down?!" Fang slapped the table angrily.

Wang Jun: "..."

She smiled embarrassingly, "Mother, I'm not saying that you can't be my master, I mean, even if you know who the girl I like is, you can't help me. With her family background, you can't help me." You must look up to me."

"Whose girl do you have your eye on?" After hearing her son's explanation, Fang's anger dissipated a little, but her curiosity became stronger. Her eldest son has been proud since he was a child, and she sometimes belittles herself like this , could it be the royal girl?

That's not right, how can his son have a chance to meet the royal girl?Could it be the girl from the old house in the pavilion?

Thinking about the girl in Jingli who fits the description of Wang Jun, it seems that the granddaughter of Zhou Ge's hometown and the granddaughter of Li Ge's hometown also meet the requirements.

"Okay, Mom, I still have to study, so I'm leaving first." She got up and was about to leave, when Fang called to stop him, "Stop!"

Wang Jun paused, turned around, and said helplessly, "Mother..."

"Is the girl you're looking at from Zhou Ge's hometown, or from Li Ge's hometown?" Wang Jun looked at Fang with a stunned expression, confused.

Wang Jun:? ? ?

Why did he say she was a girl from Ge's hometown?

However, Wang Jun's stunned expression also made Fang misunderstand that she had guessed right, and said with a frowning face, "Son, it's not good to see a girl from whose family, she must be from the hometown. Their family background, our family background of military generals How can you climb up, if your grandfather didn't go, and you are fighting for yourself, maybe there is still some possibility, now, unless you get the first prize in the exam, wouldn't it be a dream to marry these two girls from the hometown of Ge?"

Wang Jun's eyebrows twitched, and he smiled embarrassingly, "I can't catch my son's eyes if I wait for idlers, my son has gone back to study." After finishing speaking, before Fang could say anything else, he hurried away.

Fang didn't stop calling the eldest son anymore, she basically decided on the candidate in her heart, what to call the eldest son to do, it's just a girl from Ge's hometown, she can't meet just by saying it.

She remembered that the Ninth Prince intends to marry a daughter from Zhou Ge's hometown as a concubine, but Zhou Ge seems to be unwilling, so I haven't heard anything about this matter for the time being.As for Li Ge's hometown, there are two girls of the right age, one is married, and the other is waiting to be married.

Two suitable girls, I don't know who is the one her son likes.

Back in the yard, Wang Jun forgot what Fang said. He doesn't know any girls from the Zhou family or the Li family, okay?

After the new year, Jia Lian went back to Jinling to take part in the child birth test. In March, he heard that there was a concubine in the second house of Rongguo Mansion who was pregnant for more than two months.

Wang Jun wanted to be a filial piety for his grandmother, and he didn't care about other people's family's messy affairs. Apart from reading and practicing calligraphy every day, he practiced martial arts and taught his younger brothers and sisters. His life was quite fulfilling.

Last year, several princes came to harass him. This year, because his father and second uncle returned home to observe their filial piety, the Wang family couldn't be more clean now.

I just heard that the battle between the several princes has become more and more fierce, and they are often sick this year, and most of the court affairs are left to the prince and the third prince, as well as the eighth and ninth princes.

On April [-]th, the second aunt gave birth to a daughter, who has not been named yet, and everyone in the house calls her the second sister.

Wang Jun, this cousin, was just a month old when she heard that Li Shi, the wife of Mr. Jing in Ningguo Mansion on Ningrong Street, gave birth to a sister with dystocia. The postpartum avalanche lasted four or five days.Jia Jing named this daughter Xichun, and brought her to Rongguo Mansion to be raised by Jia's mother.

In the middle of September, Wang Jun got rid of his filial piety, but he seldom went out for a walk.

"Master, Second Master Lian is here."

Wang Jun's hand holding the pen paused, and then he stopped writing, "It's cold outside, why don't you come in?"

As soon as the words fell, a young man in an indigo blue brocade robe opened the door curtain and came in, while untiing his cloak, he said, "Now that you have no filial piety, why is Brother Wang still staying in the mansion?"

"Recently there have been turmoil in Beijing, I'd better not go out." Wang Jun walked to the table and sat down, pouring a cup of tea for himself and Jia Lian.

Jia Lian took a sip of tea and sighed, "Brother Wang's tea tastes the best."

"Come to me as soon as you return to Beijing. Aren't you afraid that your uncle will be unhappy?" Wang Jun smiled lightly.

Jia Lian put down the cup, "Speaking of which, when you refused to marry my cousin, my aunt said that you had a crush on me. Why do I think this is an excuse? I grew up with you, and I have never heard you say that you have a sweetheart. "

"Where did my sweetheart come from? I was just saying angry words to my mother at the time. Who would have expected her to take it seriously? Now that's the case. To be honest, my mother might ask the family law to beat me up. Why don't I hide it for now? I really have someone I like, so I just fooled it." Wang Jun shrugged.

He had already communicated with his younger brother about this matter. On Jia Lian's side, he didn't think Jia Lian would publicize it everywhere, and there was no need to hide it.

The corners of Jia Lian's mouth twitched, "You just don't want to marry my cousin? If I wasn't too old, I would still want to marry my cousin. I don't know what kind of peerless beauty you want to marry, even my cousin can't get in." your eyes."

"Oh, I didn't see it, you still admire your cousin secretly. Since you want to marry, why don't you say it? The female junior holds a gold brick, I am two years older than you, and your cousin is more than one year older than me, less than two years old. Years old, just a little over three years older than you, isn't it just a good time to marry back and hold a gold brick?" Wang Jun teased.

Jia Lian rolled her eyes when she heard the words, "You know I'm just talking, but you still tease me like this!" After a pause, he said, "Speaking of which, brother, second brother Ren is fifteen this year, and I heard that my aunt is already giving him Looking at the candidate for a wife, you are Ren'er's elder brother, even if you decide to marry Ren'er, if you don't get married, I'm afraid his marriage will be postponed, you still have to make plans early, so as not to annoy you when the time comes Auntie, I will pick one for you without asking your opinion."

"No!" Wang Jun said decisively, "Although my mother complained that I was too righteous, she still refused to wrong me. The kind of thing you said will never happen to me."

Seeing that Wang Jun was so sure, Jia Lian stopped talking, "Brother November Zhu is getting married, will you come?"

"My first cousin, of course I'm going," Wang Jun said after taking a sip of tea, "I heard that the one I'm going to marry is Master Jijiu Li's daughter?"

"You didn't go out, how did you know?"

Wang Jun snorted, "It's not a secret thing, everyone in Beijing knows about it."

"By the way, do you know something, Brother Wang?"

Wang Jun glanced at Jia Lian, "What's the matter?"

"I went to Jinling for the exam in the first month. I just returned to Beijing a few days ago. I went to my uncle's house the other day. I heard from my uncle that the Ninth Prince originally wanted to marry the granddaughter of Zhou Ge's hometown, but by accident, he had to marry Li Ge. The daughter of my hometown."

Hearing this, Wang Jun frowned, and said, "I've heard about this. Before the eighth concubine's eldest son was one year old, a lot of people were invited to the Zhou ceremony. Several elders were among the invited ones, but elders I didn't go in person, but all the female family members went. I heard that something happened. In a few days, the Holy Majesty issued a decree to marry Li Ge's granddaughter and the Ninth Prince. I didn't hear that it has anything to do with Zhou Ge's granddaughter. .”

Jia Lian snorted coldly and said, "I've heard my uncle talk about this matter, brother, you also know that my aunt is the youngest daughter of Mr. Zhou Ge, and the girl of the Zhou family who has not yet married, I still have to pay for it." Call me cousin, I heard that the Ninth Prince planned to cook cooked rice with my cousin Zhou's family, but I didn't expect that my cousin found out in advance and ran away secretly, but my cousin didn't plan on others, she just didn't know what happened next How did you become the daughter of Li Ge's hometown?"

Hearing this, Wang Jun was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there was something inside this matter. After pondering for a moment, he sneered and said, "The Ninth Prince really can't get on the stage. He actually used such low-handed methods. He thought that he could win over Mr. Zhou Ge." A series of courtiers rely on him?"

"But if he succeeds, my cousin will still have to marry him. At that time, even if Mr. Zhou Ge doesn't help him, she will automatically be included in the Ninth Prince's camp."

Wang Jun chuckled, "Aren't you being too naive, my second brother Lian? Even if Mr. Zhou Ge had to marry his granddaughter to the Ninth Prince, and was calculated like this, with Mr. Zhou's status, do you think he would still help you?" The Ninth Prince? It is related to the safety of the family, let alone a granddaughter, even the daughter of a direct relative would give up."

This made Jia Lian dumbfounded. Wang Jun was brought up by Mr. Wang and Wang Ziteng, and his political sense has skyrocketed over the years.

"However... the girl from the Zhou family is a bit unexpected." Wang Jun said thoughtfully.

Although the Ninth Prince did some tricks, but Wang Jun knew a lot about the princes. Since the Ninth Prince decided to attack, he must have made thorough preparations, so that the girl from the Zhou family escaped, which shows how smart this girl is. , he really wanted to see this girl.
