Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 439
It's just that this armed force headed by Chang Yong usually does odd jobs for Xue Hong, and has never been used for anything. It is really a bit overkill.

Xue Hong deliberately found Chang Yong today, but Chang Yong was a little bit resistant: "I said Second Master, what do you want me to do this time? Let's talk about it first. If you still need to do chores, why don't you hire more servants?"

Xue Hong didn't mind his crooked voice at all, and even understood Chang Yong's attitude very well.If it was him himself, it would be quite depressing if he had been unable to display his strengths even though he was well known for his abilities.

Xue Hong never used any words to comfort Chang Yong. He thought that for a truly strong person, comforting such things was a bit redundant, but today Xue Hong said for the first time: "One day, you will be on a bigger stage. It’s not the time to display your abilities in the world.”

Chang Yong looked at Xue Hong in surprise, and after a moment, he smiled and said, "What orders does Second Master have?"

Xue Hong gave Chang Yong a piece of paper, gave some instructions and left.

On the second day, a nursery rhyme was widely circulated in the capital:
"Mei Jialang, handsome,

Although young, Xu Dongbed.

Make a decision, pretty lady,
Brother and sister love each other.

Mei Jialang has a bad heart,
Climb the powerful and attach to the vassal.

In order to marry a famous little princess,
A letter expresses love.

The qin has no strings, and the harp is broken,
The beautiful girl has tears in her eyes.

As it is, my lover,
Who dares to have a long relationship with him? "

It is not only the ballad that is widely circulated, but also the story behind the ballad.

"Oh, I can't imagine that Mei Hanlin and his family are scholars, and they can do such a thing. It's an insult to gentleness."

"Isn't it? I don't know which family's young lady made a marriage with their family. Isn't this a slap in the face of the other girl?"

"Hey, don't you guys know? I heard that she is the lady of the Xue family."

"The Xue family? You mean the Imperial Merchant Xue's family? Didn't you make a mistake? As far as I know, the two young ladies in their family are not from Xu family."

"It's the Xue family, it can't be wrong. It's just that it's not the girl from the first room of the Xue family, but the girl Qin from the second room. I heard that Mei Hanlin's family has a baby kiss with her, and Miss Qin knew she would marry her since she was a child." As daughter-in-laws in their family, who knew that the two of them would be so ruthlessly divorced by the Mei family when they grew up, it was only a letter, not even a door-to-door explanation."

"That's right! Our third aunt once worked as a nanny for the little master of the Xue family. According to her, that girl Qin is very outstanding in both appearance and talent. What's even more rare is that she often travels with her father. She has a broad vision and a wide range of knowledge, she is really a first-class good girl. The Mei family broke the engagement with Miss Qin because they took a fancy to the status of the little Mongolian princess."

"Oh... this Mei family is really outrageous, how can you ruin the reputation of a girl's family like this?"

"Isn't it? The Mei family is really ruthless..."

In fact, people in ancient times did not have as many entertainment items as modern times, so people like to walk around the streets and keep pets, and their ability to spread gossip is surprisingly powerful.Just the matter of the Mei family's resignation and the ballad, in three to five days, the whole city knew about it, and gradually it spread to the palace.

The Empress Dowager found out about this, summoned Mei Hanlin angrily, and said angrily: "What did you say at the beginning? Ah? You said that although there was a marriage contract, it was not very sure. Now the whole world knows that your son wants to become a Mongolian The son-in-law of the prince, Chenglong Kuai, insisted on retiring from this family. It would be fine to say that the girl has any flaws, but the girl is very good. You are simply absurd! Fortunately, the emperor did not decree to grant the marriage. If marriage is granted, even the Ai family and the emperor will become unkind and unrighteous people."

"The queen mother... the old minister... the old minister..."

"Come on, don't be an old minister. If you still know your emperor's courtiers, the Mongolian Gege's marriage will be just like this. The Ai family will not let Xiao Gege marry into a family like yours. Furthermore , even if your family married Xiao Gege as a daughter-in-law, it is hard to guarantee that the world will not point fingers. If things go on like this, you will definitely put this matter on Xiao Gege. Thinking 'If there is no Ge Ge who suddenly appeared, we The Ai family will not regret their marriage with the Xue family, so they don't have to bear such a bad reputation', it must be wronged for Xiaoge. Amitabha, the Ai family will not do such a heartless thing."

"The Queen Mother... The Queen Mother can't make it up. Even if our family didn't think carefully about retiring the Xue family, but...but we can't cancel the marriage between my son and Xiao Gege, this..."

"Enough!" Mei Hanlin was cut off by the empress dowager before he finished speaking, "If it wasn't for the loyalty of generations of your Mei family, or because your family concealed the marriage contract, I would ask you a lie. The crime of the king, you are still here to bargain with me? Are you not afraid that the emperor will take off your crown?!"

"No, no, I don't dare, I don't dare...Please calm down, Empress Dowager!"

"Hmph, go on down, and treat this matter as if it never happened. Let you, the father, make arrangements for your precious son's marriage!"

Mei Hanlin was so scolded by the empress dowager that he even brought out the crime of deceiving the emperor. He went home dejectedly frightened and never dared to mention Xiao Gege's marriage again.Moreover, although their family is a bit more powerful, they also know that even if they go to Xue's house again at this time, Xue's family will not agree to resume the engagement, not to mention that his family is likely to be scolded by Hao Tong, so this Mei Jindong is doing well. A marriage just fell apart.

And he just responded to the last sentence in the ballad, "It seems so, a thin lover, who dares to fall in love with him", seeing that he is about to reach the age of marriage, but the Mei family has also found a well-matched young lady to marry I'm afraid that Mei Jindong's marriage will become difficult, enough for the Mei family to worry about.

As for the Xue family's second bedroom, it's called a relief.The second master Xue, who had been frowning for the past few days, showed a smile: "Okay, great, I don't know who is upright to speak up, not only to give justice to my Xue family, but also to let the Mei family suffer. Vent the hatred in my heart!"

Xue Yi said with a smile: "Where are the people? That's the song that Hong'er bought off the beggars and deliberately spread. We Qin'er is such a good girl, there is no reason for them to be bullied by the Mei family, we need to show them some color Look. Although the emperor will not dismiss a Hanlin who has studied hard for many years because of the marriage of his children, I heard that Mei Hanlin is having a hard time in the Hanlin Academy recently. Everyone thinks that their family is too unkind. This Mei Hanlin has been isolated by others!"
