The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

While talking in the room, suddenly there was a bang outside the room.

Hu Jingzhi was startled, and hurried to the window to look, only to see that in the corridor outside the window, Hu pinched his waist and stared coldly at Jin Chuan, who was covering his hands. A porcelain bowl was still spinning around on the ground, which seemed to be Jin Chuan. He came to deliver some soup, but was stopped by Mrs. Hu.

Hu Jingzhi frowned and said impatiently: "There are eyes and ears everywhere in the house, it's really uncomfortable."

Lai Da said casually: "There are still maids and eunuchs everywhere in the imperial palace, and I don't see that being an emperor feels uncomfortable. It must be that Jin Chuan was urged by his parents to come here to show courteousness, and you often go to the backyard to perfunctory , otherwise it will be suspicious."

"Hey." Hu Jingzhi is not a person who is ascetic. He has been coveting Jin Chuan and Yu Chuan for a long time. However, these two women are very high-spirited and see him not. Go to the backyard.

In the backyard, Hu Jingzhi didn't dare to touch Jin Chuan, he just thought that people said that he would rather marry a maid from a big family than a girl from a small family, so he deliberately lured Jin Chuan to talk by applying burn medicine on Jin Chuan's hands.

Jin Chuan didn't like Hu Jingzhi, he just lamented in his heart that Mrs. Wang and Baoyu were ruthless, and refused to buy their family back. He listened to Hu Jingzhi's question, and responded indifferently. After applying the medicine, he fled They also seem to be busy going out.

Standing by the door, Mrs. Hu said, "This little hoof is too ungrateful."

Hu Jingzhi also didn't like that Jin Chuan was holding on to his identity at this stage, so he lay on his back on the chair. After resting his mind, he took the scroll and went to the corner of the wall connecting with the West Mansion to recite "Teacher's List" by heart. An hour later, I suddenly heard a woman coughing across the wall, I was overjoyed and asked quickly: "But did you disturb my sister?" Hearing that there was no words over there, I couldn't help but feel a little sad.

It's not good to keep studying under this corner, so I had to go forward again. I wanted to call Hu Shi but felt that Hu Shi was not safe, so I called Qin Xian's family and told her, "Get some more snacks for the neighbor's house." The girls sent it to them, and they said that they just accidentally went to the corner to endorse the book, and if they disturbed the neighbor's house, please forgive me."

Qin Xian's family was very eager, so he hurriedly agreed, and asked again: "If you go to Mrs. Chen's house for a drink, you should also bring some things with you. There are many children in their family. Why don't you bring some snacks for the younger ones?"

Hu Jingzhi just borrowed money from Lai Dana again, so he nodded, and the next day, when Qin Xian's family said that the snacks were ready, he asked Qin Xian to follow him to Chen Yejun's house with a basket.

Who knows that Feng Ziying, Xue Pan and Liu Xianglian are also there this time.

Seeing Hu Jingzhi, Xue Pan said, "Last time when you fought with the Ji family, I blamed you for being troublesome. Now it seems that I have wronged you. You don't know how annoying the Ji family is, I just said it in the courtroom. To be honest, when I went to court, I heard that their family would no longer do business with our family."

Hu Jingzhi secretly wondered when he would be able to go to court, so he hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Feng Ziying laughed and said, "You don't know yet?" So with Chen Yejun's shoulders on his shoulders, a group of five people sat down in the middle of the yard to drink, and while eating, they told Hu Jingzhi about Xue Pan in the hall.

Hu Jingzhi thought that Liu Xianglian was so bold that he dared to speak out about Yingchun, and at the same time pretended to be a snake, and asked: "How is Miss Xue?" .

Xue Pan shook his head, his face turned blue and white, thinking that Xue Baochai was smarter than him, and he said that she was going out of the palace to ask him to beg the Lord to ask her to go out of the palace to get married, but in fact it was another move to retreat. Advance, forcing the Lord to make an early decision.

"What's the matter?" Hu Jingzhi asked in bewilderment.

Feng Ziying said with a smile: "You shouldn't be called Miss Xue, you should be called Niangniang Xue. Niangniang Xue has just been conferred talent, and now she is in Fangniangniang Palace."

Xue Pan said angrily, "I'm the one who hurt my sister."

"Forget it, forget it, who knows that if the concubine position is not full and the Lord is anxious to keep Miss Xue, only one talented person will be conferred. In the future, Miss Xue will have a good time." Liu Xianglian hurriedly smooth things over.

Xue Pan muttered, "I don't know why she insists on staying in the palace." Annoyed, he took another sip of his drink.

Hu Jingzhi hurriedly poured wine for Xue Pan again, secretly thinking that there are still people who refuse to let his sister into the palace.After pouring wine for Xue Pan, he saw that Liu Xianglian's wine glass was empty, so he filled it up.Suddenly met Chen Yejun's thorn-like eyes suddenly, he was startled, and thought to himself that he was confused, why did he neglect Chen Yejun?

Hu Jingzhi was about to go up for Chen Yejun when he saw Xue Pan suddenly put his arms around his shoulders and said with a smile, "Come on, let's ask the Zhou family for wine and food. Their house is open today for people to eat." Go drink."

Hu Jingzhi hurriedly said: "I'm not familiar with the Zhou family, so I'm afraid it's too abrupt to visit the door rashly."

"What are you afraid of? Just because you are willing to stand up for me in front of the Ji family, I will treat you like a brother." Xue Pan pulled Hu Jingzhi up together with Liu Xianglian as he spoke.

Hu Jingzhi refused, and could only follow Xue Pan and Liu Xianglian out under Chen Yejun's frosty eyes. He was about to withdraw halfway and come back to explain to Chen Yejun, but who knew that when he entered that Zhou's home, he looked Seeing the fairyland on earth that happened to be like a heavenly palace, he couldn't move for a while, so he just sat with him, had a few glasses of wine, and suddenly heard someone talking about the Zhen family again, and seeing everyone shaking their heads, he knew the Zhen family Really bad.

At dusk, Feng Ziying, Xue Pan, and Liu Xianglian returned to General Shenwu's mansion, and then Hu Jingzhi hurried to Xiaohuazhi Lane, but this time when he reached the door, he knocked repeatedly, but Chen Yejun didn't allow anyone to knock on the door.

Hu Jingzhi returned home dejectedly, just in time to see Qin Xian's family eating melon seeds and sneering at Hu's family, intending to defend Hu's family, but he felt that Qin Xian's family's words were reasonable, so he pretended not to hear them. He went straight into the study room, saw that because he left in a hurry, Lai Da hadn't eaten or drank water all day, so he hurriedly sent Qin Xian's family to make a bowl of braised meat and a bowl of hibiscus soup, and served Lai Da with a guilty face. After dinner, he told Lai Dating about the rejection at Chen Yejun's place.

When Lai Da heard it, his eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and laughed, "Wonderful! Wonderful!"

"Why did Grandpa Lai say it's wonderful?"

Lai laughed and said: "According to me, Feng Ziying, Xue Pan, and Liu Xianglian didn't bother to talk to you before, but they rushed to talk to you today, and they must drive you away from the uncle of the Chen family. , you should dig out the words from Uncle Chen's mouth."

Hu Jingzhi recalled it again and again, and felt that Xue Pan and Liu Xianglian took him to Zhou's house, as if they were trying to push him away, so he nodded secretly in his heart, thinking about going to talk to Chen Yejun tomorrow.

There was nothing to say all night, and Hu Jingzhi went to Chen Yejun's house early the next morning, only to hear Chen Yejun's words "If you want to talk, go to someone who doesn't treat you as an outsider" through the wall, and Chen Yejun was no longer heard. Jun replied.Hu Jingzhi begged outside for a while, but felt that the people who came and went saw it was not good, so he went home.

The next day he persisted in coming over again, but he was standing outside Chen Yejun's courtyard when he saw Xue Pan sending a man to invite him to a restaurant for a drink, but he couldn't refuse, so he was dragged away by the man.

Hu Jingzhi saw that Xue Pan, Feng Ziying and others really wanted to push him away from Chen Yejun, and racked his brains more and more to find ways to talk to Chen Yejun.

In the twelfth lunar month, it was suddenly rumored that the famous Zhen family in Jiangnan was confiscated. Hu Jingzhi ignored Chen Yejun and followed him into the study amidst the snowflakes. He took off the pearl sheepskin jacket that was rewarded for him to put on, and rubbed Lai Da's hands like a filial son, and said, "Grandpa Lai, tell me, did we play the wrong chess? If we hadn't known that the Zhen family would be in trouble Well, like outsiders, I also thought that the Ji family would hate Xue Pan for talking too much. Now that the Ji family has got rid of the Zhen family, it can be seen that their family is very wise."

Lai Dacai didn't care about Hu Jingzhi's future, he only thought about revenge, secretly thought that his family's bright future had been ruined by Jia Lian, and he couldn't swallow it anyway, so he coaxed Hu Jingzhi and said, "What do you know? If you are capable, one day you will be regarded as a thorn in the side of the emperor, just like an ant under a human finger, and you will be unable to use any strength."

Hu Jingzhi nodded repeatedly, and hurriedly poured water into the thermos for Lai Da to drink. He was about to ask how to give gifts to Jiamu during the festival, when Qin Xian said outside the door: "Master, go to Rongguo Mansion quickly, the old lady has invitations." .”

"Do you know what it is?" Seeing that Lai Da was about to cough, Hu Jingzhi hurriedly covered his mouth and coughed.

Qin Xian said with a smile: "It's a good thing, master, don't delay and go. It is said that the second master Lian was about to go out, but was stopped by the old lady."

"Let's go now." Hu Jingzhi heard that Jia Lian was also stopped, so he straightened his hair, looked at Lai Da, carefully closed the doors and windows, and hurried to Rongguo Mansion.

After entering the Rongguo Mansion, Zhao Tianliang, Quan Fu and others cupped their hands to congratulate him.

Although Hu Jingzhi understood it in his heart, he still pretended to be confused, so he entered the Rongqing Hall and went inwards. After entering the upper room, he saw a lady sitting next to Jiamu, and behind the lady, there was a tight Following a beautiful woman, she hurriedly closed her eyes to greet everyone in the room.

"This is Brother Hu who lives on the east side of our house." Jia Mu said with a smile, and then asked Jia Lian with a fierce face, "I've settled this matter, do you have anything else to say?"

Jia Lian hurriedly said, "I dare not say anything else."

Jia Mu took the hand of the woman beside her and asked, "What do you think?"

The woman saw that it was Jia Mu who was the matchmaker, and that Hu Jingzhi lived in the east of Rongguo Mansion, and it was said that he was a son of the famous Hu family. She was not satisfied, and seeing that her daughter beside her was also confused by Hu Jingzhi's handsome face, she smiled. Said: "Let the old lady decide, I'm afraid that Brother Hu will look down on us."

"Look at what you said, his ancestors were released by my family. He is such a benevolent person. Now that his parents are gone, how can he not listen to my old woman? Let's settle it like this." Jiamu said with a smile.

Hu Jingzhi fully understood that Jia's mother did not intend to betroth Yingchun to him, so he hurriedly raised his head to ask for something, but met Jia Lian's playful eyes, and couldn't help being a little annoyed, secretly thinking that Jia Lian was trying to frame him.Lai Da was right as expected, Jia Lian was very narrow-minded and would never watch him steal the limelight in front of Prince Zhongshun.

"Don't you know each other? You used to play together when you were young." Mrs. Xia didn't recognize Hu Jingzhi, but said intimately.

Hu Jingzhi was a little tongue-tied at first, but seeing that he had already been forced to Liangshan, he might as well agree first, and then complain to Prince Zhongshun, so he said vaguely: "Women's college has eighteen changes, I don't know much about it."

The more Mrs. Xia saw her son-in-law, the more she liked her son-in-law, and she asked with a smile, "Are you going to catch up for the exam next year?"

Hu Jingzhi nodded shyly.

Jia's mother laughed and said, "Don't embarrass the child, Jingzhi, Lian'er remembers your birthday, and I have asked someone to calculate it with the Xia family girl. It is very suitable. Mrs. Xia and her mother have already owned the family. I packed them up and brought them into the capital, and I will finish your business in February next year. Now that there is no woman in your family, why don't you call Mrs. Xia and Miss Xia to live in the backyard of your house, and you to live in the front yard. How about asking Mrs. Xia to help you with housework? This way, you can have a lively New Year."

Hu Jingzhi smiled, and was about to euphemistically say that this matter was against the rules, when suddenly Mrs. Xia said: "There is no other way to do this, why is it just a lifeline? There are dozens of hectares of sweet-scented osmanthus fields left at home." Whether to sell it or keep it for business depends on what the son-in-law says."

Hu Jingzhi was overjoyed, and secretly thought that since Lai Da mentioned the sweet-scented osmanthus Xia family, it can be seen that their family is also very famous, and the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and if they get the Xia family's money, they will not be in such embarrassment as they are now - and since there is such a person today It was already impossible to marry Yingchun again, so he hurriedly said: "It depends on what the wife says."

"What else can I say, the name of Osmanthus fragrans is also included in Xue's family name, it is enough for Jingzhi to tell Pan'er about this tomorrow." Jia Lian said with a smile.

When Mrs. Xia saw that Hu Jingzhi could do it with a single word about their family affairs, she felt more and more that Hu Jingzhi was the legendary "pure and noble", so she looked at him with a smile on her face, wishing she could call Hu Jingzhi to call her mother right away.

"Jingzhi, quickly take Mrs. Xia and Miss Xia to the east to clean up." Mother Jia said to Xu Qingheng who was sitting with her, "Get some deer and moose and send them over, don't make Mrs. Xia feel wronged." .”

"Yes." Xu Qingheng agreed, and seeing Hu Jingzhi taking the mother and daughter of the Xia family and Mrs. Lin of the Xia family with twenty or thirty servants, he sent the mandarin ducks to prepare some japonica rice, vegetables and meat, and then followed Jia Lian. Upstairs, seeing Jia Lian taking "The Analects of Confucius" to test Jia Lan's homework, he waited outside for a while, and after Jia Lan had gone, he walked in and said, "Look, the girl from the Xia family is also a very lively person. Ask her to marry her." Wouldn't it be a pity to lose Hu Jingzhi?"

Jia Lian held the scroll in his hand and said with a smile: "Just wait and see, there will be plenty of fun to watch later."

Xu Qingheng walked to the table and saw that Wu'er had brought medicine again, so he cooled the medicine himself and put it in front of Jia Lian.

Jia Lian picked up the bowl and poured the medicinal soup into his stomach, and repeatedly told Xu Qingheng: "When you enter the palace in the next year, you must give the jade plaque to Fang Wenhui."

"Understood." Xu Qingheng said impatiently, he only felt that Jia Lian and Fang Wenhui were in such a tacit understanding while one was in the palace and the other was outside the palace, it was really hateful.Although I feel hateful, but there is no real evidence to prove that the two of them secretly cheated, so I have to forget about it for the time being, and I am busy giving gifts to each family before the year, and going to each family to pay New Year's greetings after the year-especially after the year, when I see the old handkerchief The sisters were all with men and women, and they couldn't help being jealous, so they stared at Jia Lian to take medicine.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xu Qingheng had to enter the palace alone because Jia's mother complained of illness, so she got up and dressed before dawn, and went upstairs to the back when she was dressed. She was awakened by footsteps.

"Come and see, is it appropriate for me to dress up like this to enter the palace?" Xu Qingheng walked to the bedside and asked.

Jia Lian came out of Xu Qingheng's room and went back to the back building after the third watch, so he stared at her with a distracted look, and said somewhat perfunctorily, "It's always suitable for you to wear light makeup and heavy makeup, no matter how you dress up, it's good."

Xu Qingheng smiled and said, "Maybe you crushed someone?"

"Why do you want to talk to her? How many times have I told you that it has nothing to do with her. "

Xu Qingheng sneered and said: "You know that Xue Pan will help his sister no matter what she does, and you also know that you will inevitably turn against Xue Pan in the future. For a woman like that, against a brother who shares weal and woe with you, you still Say it's okay?"

"...you don't understand me." Jia Lian turned impatiently and said.

"Yes, I don't understand you. The one who understands you has entered the palace." Xu Qingheng snorted coldly, sat on the edge of the bed again, put his hand on Jia Lian's shoulder and asked him, "If I entered the palace, Will you still plan for me?"

Jia Lian said in his heart that Xu Qingheng's temper entered the palace, and he died within a few days. Seeing her being questioned again, he said against his will: "Not only is he planning for you, but he is also willing to get angry for you. The emperor is robbing people."

"Bah." Xu Qingheng spat, thinking to himself why did he fall in love with such a thing?After rearranging his clothes, he went downstairs, drank a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup, got on the sedan chair, and asked Jia Yun, Jia Zao, and Jia Lan to take him to the palace. When I met Aunt Xue, I felt awkward first.

After getting off the sedan chair, Xu Qingheng didn't care about the embarrassment, took Aunt Xue's hand, exchanged soft greetings, and went to the palace side by side, greeted softly on the way, and heard Aunt Xue complain: "It's the New Year's Eve, Pan'er He also refused to come home, and I called him personally, but he refused to return; he sent Ping'er away, but he was willing to return, but after the first day of the new year, he returned to Feng's house."

Xu Qingheng reassured: "Maybe one day, Big Brother Xue will come back after he understands it?"

Aunt Xue's heart was blocked, and she wondered why everyone asked Xue Pan to figure it out, why didn't she persuade Wang Xifeng to turn around?

The words were not speculative, Aunt Xue stopped talking about family affairs with Xu Qingheng, and carefully inquired about Jia Lian's internal injuries, and when she heard that Jia Lian's internal injuries had not yet healed, she sighed.

While speaking, he had already entered the partial palace, and after kowtowing to the queen mother, he followed the palace people to the queen's palace.

There is no owner in the harem, only Concubine Zhou and Concubine Wu are sitting on the upper side, one on the left and one on the right, while Concubine Fang Wenhui and Concubine Ji Hui are sitting next to the two concubines.

The other concubines also sat down in order according to their rank.

After Xu Qingheng saluted, he looked at Fang Wenhui, and saw that Fang Wenhui was also looking at her with a smile, so he didn't care to look at Fang Wenhui's appearance, and turned his face away, and when he wanted to look at Xue Baochai, he saw that Xue Baochai was not here.

Concubine Zhou sat on top, greeted Aunt Xue very familiarly, and then covered her mouth with a smile and said: "Mrs. Xue, Xue Cairen feels a little uncomfortable, go and have a look later."

"Thank you, ma'am." Aunt Xue replied anxiously, and seeing the concubine sitting above looking over her with secretive eyes, she became more and more trembling. Fortunately, Xu Qingheng patted her reassuringly, which made her feel at ease.

"Speaking of which, Xue Cairen didn't show up at the [-]th family banquet. I don't know what kind of illness it is. It's so severe." Wu Guifei said with a smile.

"I haven't passed the fifteenth day. I don't know the taboo to say that people are not sick." Concubine Ji Hui said with a smile. Although she is not a noble concubine, Zhou and Wu have no heirs. It's also the cold air entering the palace, so Zhou, Wu and Fang have to let Concubine Ji Hui get two points.

At this moment when Concubine Ji Hui said that, although Concubine Wu Guifei was a little embarrassed, she did not dare to speak, she just pinched the soft persimmon and Fang Wenhui asked: "You can go and see, what is Xue Cairen's illness?"

Fang Wenhui knew that Concubine Wu Gui was forcing her to say that Xue Baochai was happy, so she said worriedly: "It would be great if I knew."

Concubine Wu Gui sneered.

Aunt Xue became more and more terrified when she heard it from below, but she couldn't help being a little bit ecstatic, thinking that Baochai would have news so soon, so she couldn't bear to listen to the eccentric talk of the women above her, and just figured out when to go to see Baochai. hairpin.

After finally waiting for the people here to leave, Aunt Xue withdrew respectfully. Seeing that Fang Wenhui asked Xu Qingheng to sit in her palace, she hurriedly followed Fang Wenhui.

Fang Wenhui saw Aunt Xue worrying about gains and losses on the road, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xue, don't listen to their nonsense, Xue Cairen is not sick."

Aunt Xue was overjoyed when she heard this, but finally she didn't look overjoyed at the thought of Fang Wenhui entering the palace in the cold.

After entering the palace courtyard, Fang Wenhui ordered Aunt Xue to visit Xue Baochai, and then led Xu Qingheng into her room.

Seeing that Fang Wenhui lived in the main palace of Yuxiu Palace, Xu Qingheng secretly thought that Fang Wenhui was the real concubine, not a concubine better than a concubine, so he looked at her again, and saw her eyebrows were lowered, and her lips only nodded a little. Rouge, compared to other concubines who were brightly dressed, looked more pure.

Xu Qingheng looked at Fang Wenhui, but Fang Wenhui was also looking at Xu Qingheng, looked at her repeatedly, and sighed softly: "You look more and more like Sister Wanting."

Xu Qingheng was startled, and unconsciously held the handkerchief to touch his face, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you mean I'm getting more and more beautiful?"

Fang Wenhui nodded, then shook her head, and said with a smile, "You are all lucky women. Whether your life is long or short, you can always do whatever you want."

Xu Qingheng suddenly didn't want to give the jade card to Fang Wenhui anymore, and when he entered the palace, seeing Fang Wenhui sending the maid out, he asked in a low voice: "What do you mean by that? Are you unlucky?"

Fang Wenhui was stunned, seeing that Xu Qingheng was actually annoyed, he hurriedly pulled her to sit down on the embroidered stool, and said with a smile: "It's just a momentary feeling when I saw an old friend, why are you annoyed?"

Xu Qingheng sneered, and then asked sternly: "Let me ask you something, you..." After a short pause, he asked inaudibly next to Fang Wenhui's ear, "The cold air entering the palace, what is it? The fifth prince is coercing, or what?"

Fang Wenhui was stunned, seeing Xu Qingheng's face turned livid, she lightly parted her vermilion lips and said, "To empathize with you."
