Daiyu's wife in the Red Chamber

Because Wei Bo loved his first wife's eldest son Wei Ruolan and his second son Wei Yuan, he didn't want to adopt them, so he was in a dilemma. Since he worshiped his ancestors, he didn't think about eating and drinking, and all his internal organs were burned. He deeply felt that he couldn't help his brother , choosing the children carefully in the five servers, who knows that Uncle Wei is not satisfied with these children, he keeps circling around him, begging him to adopt Wei Ruolan or Wei Yuan to himself.

Under his entanglement, Wei Bo couldn't close his eyes for two days. Facing his brother who was in a miserable situation in the underworld, Wei Bo temporarily softened his heart and agreed to adopt his son to his brother. This son was none other than Second Uncle Wei himself, who was very satisfied Wei Ruolan.

Fearing that he would regret it later, Wei Bo quickly found the clan elders, and in the family tree of the ancestral hall, Wei Ruolan was placed under Wei Cheng's name.

The entire Wei family was in an uproar, and after hearing the reason, they all praised Wei Bo for his brotherhood.

After finally getting the result she wanted, Wei Ruolan's expression relaxed, and then his face was full of sarcasm.Others don't know, doesn't he know that there is no second uncle pestering Wei Bo at all?The so-called Second Uncle Wei appeared in the world crying and complained that he couldn't rest in peace because he transmitted his voice into the secret. After worshiping the ancestors, did he pass a word to this father.

Under the guise of brother voice transmission, to show his integrity.

Wei Ruolan pretended to be shocked and rushed to Wei's mother's room, knelt down in front of Wei's mother's knees and cried loudly, intermittently said: "Grandmother, old ancestor, is it not the grandson who is dreaming? Yesterday was fine, we were together at the grandmother's Eating New Year's wine in the room, why is the grandson no longer the son of the master and wife today? Why is he the son of the second uncle?"

Mrs. Wei was deeply afraid that Mother Wei would obstruct it, so she took advantage of the housekeeper to keep this matter a secret, so that Mother Wei would not know about it. When the dust settled, she relaxed and looked at Wei Yuan with a smile.

From then on, Wei Yuan was the legitimate eldest son of Wei Bo's mansion.

Suddenly hearing Wei Ruolan say that he was adopted by his father, Wei's mother accidentally knocked over the tea bowl that the maid had just brought up, and said in shock: "Brother Lan, what nonsense are you talking about? You are the eldest son of the eldest son of our family, you are Brother Yuan was adopted, so I can't adopt you either! Your father has vowed many times that he is reluctant to adopt you!"

Wei Ruolan said with tears: "But everyone in the house is saying that grandson is already the son of the second uncle, and the genealogy has been changed."

The more Mother Wei heard, the more startled she became, and she shouted tremblingly: "Come here, come here, go and ask, go and find out, go to the second old man, go and call the boss and everyone, I want to ask clearly. "

The maid and mother-in-law in the room looked at each other, agreed, and went to inquire and do business separately.

Mother Wei stretched out her hand to caress her eldest grandson's back, and said in a slow voice: "Good boy, don't cry, grandma's heart hurts from crying. Don't worry, grandma will give you justice." Speaking of the latter, I couldn't help it If it is true that Wei Ruolan has been adopted, even if he is dissatisfied, how can he change it?Wei Bo is the head of the family and the head of the clan.

Wei Ruolan sobbed: "Grandson is reluctant to part with the master and wife." Even if he wanted to succeed himself, he had to adopt this attitude.

At this time, the old woman who was going to the second old man's house tiptoed in, and faced Wei's mother's fierce eyes, she replied in fear and trepidation: "Old lady, the second old man said, the master has indeed made the decision to adopt the elder brother to the deceased second master." , the genealogy has been changed, and the elder brother will be the brother of the second master and the first room after the adoption ceremony is officially held."

Immediately afterwards, the two servant girls who were looking for Uncle Wei and Mrs. Wei came in one after the other, and the former said with a low eyebrow: "Go back to the old lady, please have New Year's wine at Baolinghou's mansion today, the master is going to Baolinghou's mansion." .”

The latter also whispered: "Madam was invited by Mrs. Bao Linghou, and went out with the master."

Hearing this, Wei's mother almost fainted, and cried: "What evil did I do in my previous life! Everyone looked at me as I was old, no matter what happened, the usual respect and filial piety were just a cover, and I only cared about myself in private. Selfishness, you have kept such an important matter from me! My poor brother Lang, you are the eldest son of our family, how can you go to the second room to inherit the incense? I just miss your second uncle's incense again, You can't be wronged, kid!"

Wei's mother was crying so hard that her heart was broken, and Wei Ruolan was also in tears.

He cried so much that he did not forget to try his best to persuade Mother Wei, and said sadly: "Grandmother, what can we do now? Since it is the order of the parents, the grandson obeys it. It's just that the grandson is unfilial and offended the elderly grandmother." So much trouble."

Wei's mother hugged him, crying out of breath, and all the attendants wept when they heard the sound.

Uncle Wei and Aunt Wei came in and saw this scene. The couple were very filial, and hurried forward to comfort them. Aunt Wei said: "Oh, I knew that the old lady must be very sad when she hears such news. The old lady should take a break and stop crying. My eyes hurt. My uncle is the head of the family, and he is also the head of the clan. He is willing to pass on his own flesh and blood to others. What can you do? This is what we do Uncles and aunts can't make decisions for Brother Lang."

She glanced at Wei's mother who was crying bitterly, and said comfortingly: "Old lady, don't think about the bad, but think about the good. It's not all a bad thing for Lang Geer to succeed."

Mother Wei immediately stopped her tears and said angrily: "What are you talking about? The eldest son of the majestic Duke Wei's mansion, the eldest son who could have inherited the title has become the heir of the second wife, and can no longer inherit the title. How is it a good thing? "

Aunt Wei San said eloquently: "Of course it's the truth. Brother Lang passed away, and with the old lady around, it's not his sister-in-law's turn to make decisions about his life. Isn't this just a surprise? For the sake of Brother Lang, Mr. Madam, you have to take care of yourself and don't let your uncle and sister-in-law be a raft in Lang Ge'er's marriage. Did the old lady forget the marriage that her sister-in-law proposed to Lang Ge'er in the past? Everyone is a lady, who doesn't know what kind of girl she is? She lost her parents in her infancy, and her parents died at a young age, and she is not a middle-aged person. How can she be the best choice for a spouse? If it is for Brother Yuan, you see Sister-in-law agree or not? In the final analysis, there is a layer of belly separated from Lang Geer, so it is not so thoughtful. Fortunately, Master Jinghui told the truth, and the horoscope did not match, so he ordered Greg to hold Lang Geer. I don’t know why Lan Geer is so unlucky to make this marriage! In fact, I thought before that my sister-in-law told Lan Geer about this marriage. Definitely helping Brother Yuan, not helping Lan Geer. Second, does the sister-in-law want her to kill Lang Geer, or after killing Lang Geer, put the blame on the girl's fate? Don't say it , it is really possible!"

In a hurry to speak out what was in her heart, Third Aunt Wei rushed to the coffee table, poured herself a bowl of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

After hearing these words, Wei Ruolan couldn't help but glance at Aunt Wei San.He had already thought of the first point, but he really hadn't thought about the latter point.Thinking about it now, it makes sense.

Scholars study the Dream of Red Mansions, saying that he and Shi Xiangyun are white-headed twin stars. He has been thinking, what is the reason why he and Shi Xiangyun are separated from each other, or die in life?Shi Xiangyun must have lived to the age of gray hair. There is a comment in the song "Dream of the Red Chamber" that says "what is the fat is thick, the powder is fragrant, how can the temples turn into frost?" , that is to say, Baochai did not die in childbirth as some people said, but lived to old age like Shi Xiangyun.

Since Shi Xiangyun didn't die, if he died once in his life, he must be the one who died.Just like what I said in my memory, fate is actually an illusory thing, and everything about fate is nonsense. If I die, it must not be restrained, but caused by other reasons. What will lead to my death? ?It is possible that, as Aunt Wei San said, she was tricked by her stepmother.

If he did not die, but separated from Shi Xiangyun, then Shi Xiangyun's fate was miserable, and his own fate would not be too good. After all, the two white stars refer to the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, just like the Queen Mother and Empress. Come on, I didn't die but ended badly, the husband and wife separated, and the world can still be said to be restrained by Shi Xiangyun.

Wei Ruolan himself is more inclined to say that the world is separated. According to his speculation, the Wei family may have suffered a terrible situation. It happened before the decline of the Shi family.

Of course, it is also possible that after the Shi family's defeat, the Wei family looked down on Shi Xiangyun and sent themselves to other places to separate from Shi Xiangyun.

No matter what fate I have, I have almost no chance of inheriting the title of Weibo Mansion. It is undeniable that my parents will push the reason to Shi Xiangyun's fate, so as to cover up my stepmother's calculating heart.

The reason why Shi Xiangyun is in the Bo Ming Division probably originated from this.

While he was thinking wildly, Aunt Wei had already drank tea to quench her thirst, and went back to Mother Wei and continued chattering: "Brother Lang is young and promising, he is a fourth-rank official before the age of 15, and works in front of the Holy Majesty." How respectable is this? His third uncle has been an official for several years, and he is still at the fifth rank! As long as the first-class Long Jinwei in front of the Holy Majesty does not behave recklessly, how many poor prospects are there? He has only been enthroned for a few years now It’s hard to say, before the Supreme Emperor was enthroned, how many princes, dignitaries and first-rank officials in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were once served as first-class dragon guards in front of the Supreme Emperor? If things go on like this, even if there is no title, Lang Geer can earn a splendor by himself Qian Cheng, maybe the real power is still above the Duke's House, not to mention that when the next generation inherits the title, it will have to be downgraded by several levels."

While speaking, Third Aunt Wei secretly glanced at Mother Wei's gradually soothing expression, thinking that there was only so much she could do for Miaozhen.That's right, she kept saying in front of Wei's mother that the benefit of Wei Ruolan's succession was that she was entrusted by Miaozhen.Soon after Miaozhen and Wei Ershu got engaged, she and her husband got engaged, because they would be sisters-in-law in the future, and the two gradually got along in the boudoir, but they didn't expect Miaozhen's life to be too bitter, and Wei Ershu died on the battlefield before they got married. When she got married, she became a monk because she didn't want to remarry.

Wei Ruolan also said: "Grandmother, Third Aunt is right, since Master has made this decision, don't think too much about it, grandson will definitely earn a better future than Master's title, for Grandma and Second Uncle Add luster."

Aunt Wei patted him on the shoulder and praised: "Lang Geer has ambition, and the second uncle must be very happy under the nine springs. After all, Lang Geer is both talented and beautiful, and his martial arts are world-class. My brother is much stronger, maybe the second uncle can jump out of the coffin happily to thank the uncle for his kindness. Old lady, things are like this, so don't be sad anymore. "

When mentioning this point, Wei Ruolan made a quick decision, and once again used the skill of sound transmission to enter secrets, and said to Wei's mother: "Mom, although I'm sorry for Lang Geer, who caused Lang Geer to lose his due title, But my son is very happy, extremely happy. With this son inheriting the incense, my son is so happy that he doesn’t know what to say.” Of course, he did not forget to report Wei Bo in the voice transmission, saying that he did not suffer from his eldest brother. She begged bitterly, saying that her entanglement was a lie intentionally made up by elder brother Yuan.

He knew very well that even if he reported this in front of Mother Wei, for the sake of Weibo Mansion and Weibo's face, grandmother would never let others know about it, but it would always make grandmother love him a little more, wouldn't he?

Wei's mother was filled with anger, and for a long time, after hearing the news, her stooped back was very straight again, reappearing the majesty and solemnity of the old mistress, and coldly ordered the women and maids in the room: "You all come to me Wait at the door, and when you see the master and wife come back, tell them all to come to me!"

Everyone obeyed their orders and stood by the doors where the lords and wives might come in, shivering from the cold, but they didn't wait for them.

As the saying goes: Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

The old man Wei Er failed to adopt his grandson to Uncle Wei Er to inherit the property, and he secretly resented, Wei Bo adopted Wei Ruolan out today, all the reluctant words before suddenly became a big joke, his family was in a hurry He spread the news of Wei Ruolan's succession with embellishment, as if a drop of water had poured into the oil and exploded the pot.

It's nothing to do with oneself, but when others heard about it, except for a few sighs and a few jokes, most of them just read the joke and didn't take it to heart. Only Chen Qi and his wife heard about it, and their lungs exploded.

They love their only nephew very much, and in recent months they often say with relief that their sister has a good son, who would have thought that before the end of the year, he would become Wei Cheng's son, not the Chen family's nephew anymore, how could he tolerate?Hearing that Uncle Wei and Mrs. Wei were both having a banquet at Bowlinghou's mansion, Chen Qi came to the door with a group of children and grandchildren.

Chen Qi said to Baolinghou Shi Nai: "Master Baoling, please feel free, I'm here to find Uncle Wei."

Even though Shi Nai is a superb Lord Marquis, when it comes to being reused and trusted today, he is far inferior to the Lord Chen Qi and Master Chen in front of him, and he said helplessly: "Master Chen, if you have something to say in the New Year's Day .”

Chen Qi had already seen Wei Bo who was tossing a cup with others, cupped his hands at Shi Nai, and strode over.

Chen Qi's eldest son, Chen Yehua, bowed his hands, bowed in circles, and apologized with a smile: "My father was worried about the sudden succession of his cousin, so he rushed to the door to find Uncle Wei to ask for justice. For everyone here, please forgive me for the sake of my father's kindness."

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood that they were wondering in private. Wei Bo had categorically said earlier that he was reluctant to adopt the eldest son, so why did he adopt the eldest son and leave the second son to inherit the title within a few days?

Now that Chen Qi is seeking justice for Wei Ruolan, everyone is asking for justice, maybe they will get an answer.

Don't think that Chen Qi is a gentle and refined civil servant, and he always acts like a gentle breeze, but under the rage, he couldn't control his strength, and punched Wei Bo unceremoniously, causing his eye sockets to be bruised. He left his seat and almost fell on his back. land.Fortunately, Wei Bo is also the son of a family of generals, he jumped up without making a fool of himself, and said angrily, "Brother, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing? Don't you understand what you have done?" Chen Qi sneered, pointing at him and said, "Even if I go to the saint to tell the difference, I have my reasons! What did my nephew do, you want to drive him away so much Going out of the house? When the rumors spread, how many people asked you, you swore that Brother Lang was your beloved son, and you were reluctant to succeed him. Why, when the second brother Wei proposed to succeed Wei Yuan, he was also willing, you Are you willing to succeed Lan Geer? My Chen family is not dead yet, I am only such a nephew of a direct relative, how good you Uncle Wei, you actually cut off our uncle and nephew affection silently!"

Prince Zhongshun always feared that the world would not be chaotic. In fact, he had no relationship with the four kings and eight princes. Even though he received the invitation from Bowling Marquis's residence, he did not come, but he heard about it early in the morning, so he swaggered over behind Chen Qi. Lively, in Shi Nai's respectful and sincere attitude, he said: "Yes, Uncle Wei, come, come, tell Xiao Wang, why are you suddenly willing?"

Prince Zhongshun was so curious, let alone everyone present, pricked up his ears in a hurry, for fear of missing a word.

Wei Bo rubbed his eyes, and said with tears: "My lord, my second brother has devoted himself to the country, and there are no descendants behind him. Adoption of the eldest son is nothing more than wanting the most capable son to take up the lintel of the second house and inherit the incense and loyalty of the second brother. It's not that the lower officials dote on the second son, probably because the second son's martial arts are mediocre, far inferior to the eldest son's excellence. "He answered Prince Zhongshun's question, and at the same time gave Chen Qi the answer.

Prince Zhongshun rubbed his chin, nodded with a smile, and said, "So you also understand that Wei Ruolan is ten times stronger than the son of your current wife, but why are you so partial? Oh, everyone heard it, Wei Ruolan Uncle is very righteous, caring about brotherhood, for the sake of the future of the second wife, even the future of the second wife is ignored."

As soon as the words fell, the older ones were still stable, but the younger ones couldn't help snickering.

That's right, no matter how high-sounding Wei Bo said, no one would believe it. Just ask, which head of a big family in the world would really disregard the future of his house?Instead, consider other affairs?Ordinary families adopt, if they are not partial, they usually choose the second son and the youngest son to succeed, leaving the eldest son to inherit the family.

In fact, there was no need for Chen Qi to ask and Wei Bo to answer, everyone knew that the reason Wei Ruolan was succeeded was Wei Bo's partiality.

If I had known this before, why would Wei Ruolan be willing to give up Wei Ruolan before, and he would never be in the current situation, let others know that he gave up Wei Ruolan who was reluctant to let Wei Yuan take over up.

Chen Qi ordered Wei Bo to take back his previous decision and let Wei Ruolan return to the chief room of Wei Bo's mansion, but Wei Bo insisted on refusing to do so. All the officials at the banquet saw all the jokes, but the one who made the jokes was definitely Wei Bo, who was very moved to Chen Qi, but he was sincere to Wei Ruolan.

Prince Zhongshun still had a lot to say, so he went to the palace the next day to tell Emperor Changtai, and heard that the two courtiers were fighting. Emperor Changtai didn't care to ask his younger brother about the gossip in the capital, and he didn't care that it was the first month of the month. They were called into the palace, and Wei Ruolan was summoned to see them.
