[Red House] Raiders of life

There is a pear garden in the north and an orchid garden in the south, which are well-known theaters in the north and south of the Wei Dynasty.

Pear Garden is named after the pear tree, and Orchid Garden is named after the orchid.The head of Huadan in each generation of the Lanyuan Opera Troupe is called Magnolia, one generation after another, with a name of iron, a person of flowing water.

Magnolia of this generation is only thirteen or fourteen years old, with a delicate body and a good voice that makes people forget to listen to it.Therefore, whether you are an actor or not, you will be happy to listen to one or two ambiguous songs, which can be regarded as listening enjoyment.

Every five days and two days off in Tsinghua Garden, Wang Ren and three or five classmates opened a box to celebrate Xie Lin's birthday.They were just two or three bosom friends who were close to each other, but the two young masters from Zhen's family who were second to third came here uninvited.

Wang Ren's face was full of inquiries, Xie Lin looked bitter, and sneaked into Wang Ren's ear and said, "I met these two on the road and heard about my birthday, so they insisted on following. I can't refuse."

Xie Lin's face was full of regret and helplessness.He was born in a poor family. Since his parents passed away one after another, his family had no income and his livelihood was difficult.I thought that I would not be able to study anymore, but after hearing about his situation, the Political and Educational Office of Tsinghua Garden specially approved him to enroll and gave him a good stipend every year.He also strives for himself, he is always the first in the final assessment of each semester, and he can get a first-class scholarship.With these two funds, and the school exempted him from tuition fees, he lived a pretty good life.Excluding the cost of food and clothing, there is still a little leftover.

He is open-minded and cheerful.Friends in school include students from poor families like him, as well as prominent families like Wang Ren.And no matter who he was with, he made friends sincerely, without clinging to flattery, nor feeling inferior or self-pitying.

Wang Ren likes him, he has been treating each other like a gentleman in recent years, and today he specially held a banquet here to celebrate his birthday.Although he set up the banquet, the rightful owner is Xie Lin.Don't say that the Wang family didn't take part in those fights in the south of the Yangtze River, and although they didn't have friendly relations with the Zhen family, they didn't have any hostility either.Even if he decides, it's not good to just drive people away, let alone Xie Lin, in his capacity, it's even more difficult to offend the Zhen family.

Wang Ren patted Xie Lin on the shoulder to reveal the matter, and everyone entered the table lively.After drinking for three rounds, Magnolia also sang two songs, and everyone raised their glasses to congratulate Xie Lin.

The second and third sons of the Zhen family turned their attention to Wang Ren. They didn't come here for a little boy from a poor family, but for Wang Ren at the banquet.

The two took turns to fight, and they were very enthusiastic. After a while, Wang Ren was poured many cups, and his face turned red.The waiter beside him hurriedly stopped the drink, "Master, please drink less, turn around and let Master Hou know."

Second Lord Zhen glanced at the young servant, and said, "It's mine, isn't it? I heard that Brother Wang's family is strict, so is it okay to come to this theater today? If Lord Hou finds out, I'm afraid..."

In the imperial examination the year before last, 120 candidates were selected in Jiangsu Township, of which 73 were from Tsinghua University, more than half, and all the top three rankings were collected.After the examination, Tsinghua Garden won 26 Jinshi candidates and 19 Jinshi candidates.After the palace examination, although he didn't win the first prize, the second place candidates were all students from Tsinghua University.

Since the first battle, Tsinghua University has become famous, and even Lin Ning, the principal, has become famous far and wide.

In addition, Lin Ning has earned money for the royal family over the years, and the emperor specially granted Lin Ning the Marquis of Wenyuan, which will be hereditary for three generations.

Because Second Master Zhen and Third Master Zhen talked humorously, and they didn't just pour wine for Wang Ren alone. During the banquet, everyone drank happily, but for a moment they didn't notice that Wang Ren was already in a state of drunkenness.Seeing these words, they all turned their heads.

Wang Ren was stunned, unable to laugh or cry, "Our family rules only say that we are not allowed to hang out with opera actors. I don't know why, but it has been spread outside and it has become that they are not allowed to enter the theater. More than half of the people who come to the theater are just here to paint. Find something new, choose a meeting place, have delicious food on the table, and play music in your ears, it is also a great place to go. How can my father be so unreasonable, even the garden is not allowed to enter. It is himself, when meeting friends Come here often."

Second Master Zhen chuckled, but his eyes never left the little servant behind Wang Ren.That boy could not be more than thirteen or fourteen years old, with a red face and white teeth, very tender.Second Master Zhen swallowed saliva.He usually has a big hobby, which is beauty, regardless of gender.Seeing such a character, he forgot most of the original task of making friends with Wang Ren, and said with a smile: "It is said that there is a countermeasure for everything. Although Lord Hou does not allow it, it is not impossible. Brother Wang really has an idea."

Wang Ren was confused by what he said and didn't understand why.Following his gaze, what kind of servant is this? This is clearly Wang Xifeng!

Wang Ren was so frightened that his soul scattered, he almost fell down, and the drunkenness just now disappeared in an instant.Binocular wandering, dammit!Where did that kid Wen Mo go? When did he become Wang Xifeng!

"I see that brother Wang's skin is so tender and fleshy, he doesn't look like a servant at all." Second Master Zhen's eyes were red/naked, and he couldn't help reaching out to touch Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng threw away her hand, swung the jug and threw it at Erye Zhen's head.Second Master Zhen was furious, and was about to pounce on the table, but was stopped by Third Master Zhen, who reminded him in a low voice, "Second Brother, the family has made an appointment, and we need to make good friends with the Wang family, and we can't start a conflict over such a trivial matter."

Second Master Zhen thought about the words of the elders in the family, covered his forehead that was hit, gritted his teeth, and looked at Wang Xifeng viciously.Wang Xifeng was obviously a woman, and Er Ye Zhen avoided it for a while, so she just brushed it away, it didn't cut or bleed, it was just a lump of red.

But such a sudden turn of events made everyone at the banquet panic, Wang Ren hurriedly protected Wang Xifeng behind him, and Third Master Zhen stepped forward to plead guilty, "Second brother drank a few too many cups, if there is something inappropriate, I will report to you on behalf of second brother." Brother Wang apologizes."

It is true that the words are inappropriate and the hands and feet are not clean.Wang Xifeng blushed with anger.Wang Ren gritted his teeth, Wang Xifeng's identity must not be revealed.In the eyes of outsiders, it's nothing more than a young servant, even if he touched it and didn't cause any trouble.Even though Wang Ren's face was offended a bit, this boy even smashed a jug. His temperament is really not like a boy.Reminiscent of the words of Erye Zhen just now, it will inevitably make people think in other ways.Could this be the boy raised by Wang Ren, but he just assumed the name of a servant.

Wang Ren's face turned pale, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "This is my distant cousin of the Wang family. He has never been to the south, and he is curious about everything. Because he is young and impulsive, his father insisted on making him study hard. I am afraid that today I will take advantage of my unpreparedness. , sneaked out pretending to be like this."

The faces of the two members of the Zhen family changed, if they were just servants, it would be fine, if they were from the Wang family, even if they lived far away, they would still be serious young masters.I'm afraid...

Wang Ren didn't want to make any more entanglements, fearing that Wang Xifeng's identity would be exposed, he explained in a few words, annoyed everyone, and hurriedly dragged Wang Xifeng out.When they got downstairs, they saw Wen Mo rushing upstairs anxiously, Wang Ren and Wang Xifeng were stunned for a while, Wang Ren stared at him, dared not say a word, and followed out of Lanyuan.

After getting into the carriage, Wang Ren let go of Wang Xifeng, "You are so courageous, if you are recognized just now, your reputation will be ruined!"

Wang Xifeng knew she was wrong, felt guilty, and refused to let her down.

"Whoever told you not to take me out, I can only disguise myself. I just wanted to go out for a stroll, but I didn't think about it. I saw Wen Mo's expression anxious, so I called him out to find out, you I drank too much, but I didn't listen to the persuasion. If I drink more, I'm afraid... I'm kind enough to help you, so I thought of going in to persuade you. You're so drunk today, what will you do tomorrow? Have you forgotten? , what day is tomorrow?"

Tomorrow is the anniversary of Wang Ziteng's death.Even if they don't have a close relationship with the second room, whether they are elders or their uncles, they need to be present.It's another thing to let people see the hangover.

Wang Ren raised his forehead and gave Wang Xifeng a look, "I know you can use me as a raft, if you have the ability, tell your mother about it!"

Wang Xifeng became anxious when she heard it, and pulled Wang Ren to act like a baby, screaming like a good brother.But in the end, Mrs. Shen found out about this matter, and she was fined to kneel down, and had to copy the Fourth Nurse Book ten times, and even Wen Mo was beaten, Wang Ren was reprimanded, and even Lin Ning was complained.

"Look at her current appearance. She still doesn't look like a daughter's family. Whose daughter's family wants to run out every day? Isn't it all because of your habit! In the past few years, she has been pretending to be a tomboy and You go out, I stop you, and you still say that she is young, so it’s okay, we’ll talk about it when she’s older. She’s going to be a hairpin next year, so what’s going to happen if this goes on like this?”

Lin Ning touched his nose, adhering to the principle of never making distinctions based on femininity, and didn't say a word.But he whispered in his heart.This person's temper has really changed a little bit, and some can't be changed.For example, Wang Xifeng, after reading the book, understands the reasoning, probably like in the original book, he will definitely not do things like champering lawsuits, lending usury, and not taking human life seriously.But when he was young, he liked to act like a kid, and he had a hot personality, so he really lived up to the name of "Feng Geer" and "Feng Spicy".

Before she was ten years old, Lin Ning often took her out.After ten years old, I don't take it anymore.But Wang Xifeng has a wild horse in her heart that can't be kept, and she uses tricks to sneak away from time to time.This time, it was the servant pretending to be Wang Ren, who followed Wang Ren out and tricked the porter.

Fortunately, he knew that he was following Wang Ren neither far nor near, so he didn't dare to run too far.He also thought that if he was in trouble, he could ask Wang Ren to save him.Moreover, the servant's attire is no better than that of a young man, so he doesn't attract much attention.Then there is a skill that even Lin Ning has to admire.

With his sporadic tricks, Wang Xifeng actually lit up her makeup skills. Although the bones and facial features can't be changed, it's still amazing. In a quarter of an hour, she can transform herself into a boy, with no facial features and no makeup. Three and four minutes are similar.

It was because of this that Wang Xifeng dared to run outside.Even if it was discovered that it was a woman, people who had seen Wang Xifeng probably would not dare to recognize her as her.

It would be appropriate for Wang Ren to describe her as a distant cousin today.In the future, even if someone finds out the past, they can kill him as a distant relative. There is such a little blood relationship, so it is reasonable to say that they are so similar to Wang Xifeng.

Shen talked for a long time, but when she saw that Lin Ning was silent, she suddenly lost interest, and said angrily, "In short, from today onwards, I will definitely discipline her ruthlessly. You are not allowed to intervene!"

Lin Ning responded with an apologetic smile, and Shen's complexion improved, and she couldn't help sighing: "She looks like this, what can we do with the marriage?"

Lin Ning smiled, "She knows how powerful she is, but this time she has been detained for a long time. This year, even during the Lantern Festival, you didn't allow her to go out. How could she not..."

Before she finished speaking, Shen stared at her, Lin Ning shut her mouth knowingly, and said instead: "Sister Feng's marriage is not in a hurry. You can choose our daughter-in-law with peace of mind."

As soon as Shen Shi heard that his words were meaningful, she asked again and again: "Have you already taken a fancy to someone?"

"Now our family doesn't need to care about any family background, just look at the character and ability. Feng'er has a strong temper, and she is restless. We have to find someone who treats her well and can tolerate her. I have someone I have to choose, but I have to look again. It’s okay for a family like ours to wait until the age of seventeen or eighteen. You can wait another two years.”

Shen sneered, "Sir, don't be a fool, just say who it is?"

"You have seen this man before. A student from Tsinghua University, Xie Lin. He has been in the school for three or four years. I seem to be a good person, with a gentle temper. What is rare is that he is more tolerant of women when talking. Talented, he It goes without saying that he holds first-class scholarships every year.”

Shen nodded, "I see he is a good boy, besides, Ren'er is still on good terms with him. It's just..."

Lin Ning naturally knew her concerns, and said, "That's why I said, we need to look again. The marriage of my daughter's family is so important, so naturally it can't be settled so easily. I want to accept him as a disciple."

Shen's face showed surprise, although Lin Ning is the principal of Tsinghua Garden and Gewuyuan, but he has never been admitted as a student.This is called a teacher or principal in the college, and it is very different from being accepted as a disciple and teaching it personally, called a teacher.

Lin Ning's cultivation in this way shows that at least so far, he is very satisfied with this future son-in-law.

With Lin Ning's careful investigation, Shen Shi put it down and started talking about the second bedroom.

"I heard a few words before, saying that I will enter Beijing in two days."

Wang Ziteng's wife, Min's natal family was in the capital, so after Wang Ziteng was gone, Min took Wang Xin and Wang Xiluan to live in Beijing for a while.

Lin Ning frowned, "Going to Beijing again?"

In the past few years, although Wang Ziteng died, the Min family is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp.The joint natal family made a fuss in Wang Ziteng's mourning hall, accusing Wang Ziteng of being killed by Lin Ning.

Lin Ning directly asked them to ask someone to investigate, that is, the imperial physician, as long as they can get it, let them investigate.Needless to say, the results of the system are absolutely guaranteed.The clan elder was quarreled twice and returned without success. Instead, he felt that it was the Min family who made things up on purpose.Erfang's status in the clan plummeted.

Mrs. Min felt good, she had no evidence, so she took a rest and didn't come to trouble their house.But the action did not listen.The connection with the Min family in Beijing, and the second wife of the Jia family, including the connection with the Xue Wang family, have not been broken in recent years, but have become closer.

Lin Ning saw it and didn't say anything. In his opinion, this was just a bunch of mobs.

Mrs. Shen said: "I heard the story, this trip to Beijing should be for Sister Luan's marriage. Sister Luan has appointed the second master of Jia's big house. It is said that the elder sister led the line, and the two families have already exchanged. Geng Tie."

Unexpectedly, after going to Wang Xifeng, the Wang family chose Wang Xiluan.

"The reason why I came to Beijing this time is that Sister Luan is going to be married in Beijing. It will take a year for the woman to make all the preparations. Secondly, I am afraid that she is looking for a vacancy for Brother Xin. It will be in two months. Concubine Zhen's future."

Lin Ning was taken aback for a moment, he really knew how to cling.

At the beginning of the year, Wang Xin married the daughter of the sixth wife of the Zhen family, so he wanted to follow the path of the Zhen family.It's a pity that the Zhen family might not be able to last for a few more years, and the current honor and luxury are just bubbles.

It's just that Wang Xin didn't expect that less than two months after the Min family went to Beijing, the Holy Majesty would come to Secret Zhe.The inside and outside of the words revealed the intention of bestowing marriage, and it was still the Wang family and the Lin family who were bestowed.

Wang Ren and Lin Yi...

Yes, that's right!Lin Yi!The butterfly effect in this life, the Lin family did not come out with a brother Lin, but a sister Lin came out.

Speaking of which, there are still old things here.Back then, Wang Ziteng was sent to the capital by Wang Heng, and Lin Ning was in charge of the Wang family business. While preparing for the imperial examination and planning to establish various business plans, he visited the prefectures and counties around Jinling.At that time, Shen Shi was worried about his body which had just been detoxified, and insisted on following him to serve him.On the river, I met Lin Ruhai who just came to Gusu from the south of the Yangtze River to work as a co-prefect.

Shen Shi and Jia Min hit it off right away, seeing that Jia Min was not feeling well, everyone thought it was seasickness, but Shen Shi had given birth to two children, so she casually said that she might be pregnant.So I invited a doctor to see it, and I was indeed pregnant, but the fetal appearance was very bad, and it turned out to be a picture of a slippery tire.Lin Ning is not stingy because he has a lot of pills of various colors in the space.He gave several bottles of anti-fetal drugs at random.They are all made by irrigating with the fountain of life, thus preserving the fetus.

Although the two families got married, because the situation in the south of the Yangtze River became more and more tense and the two families were not together, the Wang family did not want to get involved in these disputes, so they treated both the Lin family and the Zhen family indifferently.Neither good nor evil Wang Ren is now seventeen, Lin Ning and Shen Shi have looked at him again, but they never thought of the Lin family.

Do the math, Lin Yi should be only thirteen now, even if he gets married, he will have to wait two years.

Lin Ning was dizzy from this dense explosion.Although it is said that the secret compromise is to inquire and discuss, but the emperor reveals the meaning of bestowing marriage, do you dare to refuse?The Wang family and the Lin family are not in the capital, but the emperor still misses it so much.really...

Wang Xincai married the daughter of the Zhen family.Even if it wasn't Lin Ning and his family, even if the emperor knew very well that Lin Ning and the second room had a bad relationship, but for the sake of the Wang family's reputation, the two families didn't openly tear each other apart, and both parties performed very well in terms of etiquette on the surface.Therefore, from the perspective of outsiders, it is indeed a marriage between the Wang family and the Zhen family.And I'm afraid that the Zhen family had the same intentions when they agreed to this marriage.

So now the meaning of the emperor is even more self-evident.The emperor gave the world an attitude.On the bright side, the Wang family's daughter-in-law has both Zhen's daughter-in-law and Lin's daughter-in-law, so those who watch the excitement or wait to see the situation and choose sides have to weigh again.

But secretly, the Wang family's daughter-in-law is only the daughter of the Lin family. The emperor made it clear that he wanted the Wang family and the Lin family to join forces to defeat the Zhen family and clear up the situation in the south of the Yangtze River.

Lin Ning sighed as he held the secret fold that had finally arrived in his hands after a long trek through mountains and rivers.

In the previous few worlds, the Lin family was able to take down the Zhen family.With his help this time, it is impossible for the two of them to lose.Especially since he also has his own cheating weapon like "Prophet"!

Of course, a large part of the reason is that the other party is the Lin family, and he can be trusted.If it was someone like the Jia family, he might have to rack his brains to find a way to get the emperor to accept this idea.

I think Lin Ruhai also received a similar secret package.Since it is a negotiation, it must be negotiated.

Lin Ning waved Qinghe to invite Wang Ren over.

"Go and pack up and get ready, and go to Yangzhou with me in a few days."
