[Red Mansions] The good life of the wife of the official family

Zhao Zhihan swept Wang Xiyi into her arms, looked at Wang Ziteng and said, "I taught it."

The matter of riding a horse in the outskirts was settled, and Wang Ziteng went to tell Wu that he would take Zhao Zhihan, Wang Ren and others to the temple in the outskirts to fulfill his vows.Wu Shi didn't care about them, so naturally he agreed.She just asked the nanny to carry Wang Qian to her room without saying anything else.Now she only wants Qian to be with her, especially she doesn't want to see Erfang.

The next day, Wang Ziteng called for a carriage, and Wang Ren and Zhao Zhihan, Wang Xifeng and Wang Xiyi rode in the same carriage, and went quietly to the suburbs.He also asked the young man at home to go out and get a few horses to lead to the outskirts. After everything was settled, the young man retreated to the distance to look at the carriage, leaving Wang Ziteng and his family.

Zhao Zhihan has never ridden a horse before, she just came out to see the scenery and breathe fresh air.When Wang Ziteng and Wang Ren rode across the vast land, Zhao Zhihan and Wang Xifeng and Wang Xiyi cheered and wandered around.The scenery in the suburbs is very good, which is incomparable to those small courtyards at home.Wang Xifeng and Wang Xiyi have been raised at home since they were young. They have never seen such a scene, and they are very happy.Especially Wang Xiyi's boyish temper, which became more and more obvious at the moment.

When Wang Ziteng and Wang Ren came back after riding a horse, Wang Xiyi yelled to ride a horse too.Wang Xiyi was still young, so naturally she couldn't let her ride a horse alone, so Wang Ziteng carried her on the horse's back and put her in front of him.He drove the horse to a gallop, and Wang Xiyi cheered loudly instead of being afraid.

Wang Ziteng also had a smile on his lips. He had been in the officialdom before and basically never spent time with his family.It's not that I don't have time, but that I have time but don't have the consciousness.Now, because of Zhao Zhihan's "unreasonable" demands, he has experienced a different life, and it is worth it.

After playing this day, not only Zhao Zhihan, but also Wang Ziteng and the three children were in good health.It is also because of this play that does not pay much attention to rules, which makes Wang Ren Wang Xiyi and Wang Ziteng and his wife even closer.When we went back at night, everyone's heart still couldn't be taken back, and the smiles on their faces couldn't be taken back.It's just that, the moment he got off the carriage, this smile couldn't be kept anymore.

Zhao Zhihan and Wang Ziteng had just got out of the carriage and were still joking when they saw Zishan in their own room rushing up to meet her, panting so hard that she couldn't speak.Zhao Zhihan knew at a glance that something had happened at home, so she hurriedly helped her up and said, "What's the matter? You left in such a hurry."

Zishan took a few more breaths before she opened her mouth and said: "Master, madam, go to the old lady's room and have a look, old lady... old lady... I'm afraid it's going to die soon."

When Wang Ziteng and Zhao Zhihan heard the words, the smiles on their faces instantly turned cold.Zhao Zhihan and Wang Ziteng looked at each other, and rushed to Wu's courtyard without delay.As Wang Ziteng was walking, he asked Zishan who was beside him, "It was fine when I left this morning, but what happened to this chug?"

Zishan still hurriedly followed, "Go back to the master, I don't know the details. It seems that the third wife can't pay the monthly money, so some servant gossiped and went to the old lady. The old lady is also a whim. I checked the account book. For some reason, I got a lot of people to reconcile the accounts. I didn’t know what happened later, but when I found out, the old lady was already lying on the bed so angry that she couldn’t speak.”

Wang Ziteng kept a cold face and said nothing, Zhao Zhihan frowned.Originally thought that the Wu family was angry when they found out that they were going out to play, but now it seems that they knew that Wang Zisheng was taking money from the Wang family.

Both of them didn't speak, they rushed all the way to Wu's room, and saw Wu lying on the bed, panting heavily.Wang Zisheng and Qian Shi were also still in Wu's room, seeing Wang Ziteng and Zhao Zhihan coming back, they hurriedly moved aside.Wang Ziteng walked to the bed in a hurry, and said nervously: "Old lady, how are you? Have you found a doctor yet?"

Wu Shi couldn't speak, just looked at him.Instead, Wang Zisheng said from the side: "I found it, the doctor has seen it."

"How?" Wang Ziteng frowned, looking at Wang Zisheng.Wang Zisheng kept silent, and Wang Ziteng's brows were even more frowned.

Wu shi lay down and took a few breaths before turning her gaze to Zhao Zhihan who was standing behind Wang Ziteng.Zhao Zhihan walked in front of her, leaned slightly and said, "Old lady, what do you want to say?"

Wu raised his hand with difficulty, his arm trembling, and pointed to the table.Zhao Zhihan turned her head and saw the ledger on the table.Zhao Zhihan went to get the ledger, flipped through a few pages, but found nothing strange.Wu Shi shook her head, but still pointed at the table with effort.Zhao Zhihan looked back again, and saw the key to the warehouse.

Zhao Zhihan's heart suddenly felt cold, and Wu Shi had no strength to support her arms and fell down.Zhao Zhihan went to put down the ledger again, took the key to Wu's bed, and handed the key to her.Wu Shi shook her head and stuffed the key into her palm.Zhao Zhihan was sure at this moment, the old lady wanted to return the key to her.

So, Zhao Zhihan held the key in her hand, without saying a word.At this time, Wang Ziteng was angry, and he went over and pulled Wang Zisheng's lapel, and pulled him out.When he got outside, he shook off Wang Zisheng, stared at him and said, "What did you do? Why did the old lady suddenly become like this?"

"I didn't do anything, how did I know how the old lady became like this?" Wang Zisheng was very impatient when faced with Wang Ziteng's questioning.

Wang Ziteng took a deep breath, stopped talking to Wang Zisheng, and went back into the house alone.Seeing that Wang Zisheng was kicked out of the room, Qian also retreated quietly.As soon as she went out, Wang Zisheng came up and gave her a slap, scolding: "Useless trash." Qian was beaten so hard that she didn't dare to say a word, and whispered in tears: "After beating the old lady, come again!" Me." Then he just swallowed his grievances and followed Wang Zisheng behind him.

In the room, Wang Ziteng was worried, and asked for a doctor.After looking at it, the doctor pointed out that Mrs. Wu had an injury on her head.He was short of breath again, with all the old diseases on his body, and he only said that he was unable to recover.Wang Ziteng's heart was filled with coldness, and he told Zhao Zhihan to stay on guard in the room, and then rushed out of the room angrily.Zhao Zhihan guessed that he was looking for Wang Zisheng, and it was not a problem for him to go there, so he stayed in Wu's room and watched Wu.

Wang Ren and Wang Xifeng also stayed in the house, not daring to leave an inch.When Shi Shi was going to go, they also guarded like this. This feeling was too familiar, and the sadness was too strong, but no one said a word.

Wang Xiyi was still young and didn't know what was going on, but felt that the atmosphere in the room was very depressing.She saw Wu Shi lying motionless on the bed again, just gasping for breath, so she went to her bedside, pulled her finger and said, "Old lady, what's wrong with you? Are you tired?"

Wu Shi turned to look at her, her breathing became heavier, her mouth was open and she couldn't speak.Zhao Zhihan came over and sat down on the edge of the bed, took Wang Xiyi into her arms, looked at Wu and said, "The old lady is tired, she needs to rest. Girl Yi, you can read some words, tell the old lady some stories to listen to." .”

"Okay." Wang Xiyi got the order, after thinking for a while, she told Wu Shi a story about an ugly duckling, and after she finished, she told a lot of fairy tales, but these stories were all told to her by Zhao Zhihan on weekdays.Wu-shi lay down and watched Wang Xiyi's cute eyes flashing, opening and closing her lips, and her breathing gradually calmed down.

Over there, the prince jumped into the Qian family's courtyard, and without waiting for the maid to inform, he rushed in directly, grabbed Wang Zisheng and sent him up with a punch.Wang Ziteng is also considered a martial artist, and with this punch, blood seeped from the corner of Wang Zisheng's mouth.He staggered back a few steps from the beating, finally came to a steady stop, shook his head and said, "Brother, are you crazy?"

Wang Ziteng didn't speak, and threw another punch in the past.Wang Zisheng tried to resist, but it was useless in front of Wang Ziteng.He didn't beg for mercy until he was beaten to the ground and his face was covered with bruises.Wang Ziteng didn't have the mood to talk to him, he just wanted to punch him to death as a disobedient son.

In the end, Wang Zisheng was beaten and hid under the table. Qian Shi was already frightened by Wang Ziteng's fierce appearance and retreated to the side, shrinking her body and not daring to move.Wang Ziteng went over and flipped the table, Wang Zisheng raised his face suddenly, "Wang Ziteng, you won't be willing if you don't beat me to death today, will you?"

"You're right!" After Wang Ziteng said it, he hugged his left hand and slammed his elbow on Wang Zisheng's shoulder.Wang Ziteng was beaten until he coughed up a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground, and could no longer move.Wang Ziteng gritted his teeth twice, and said to the servant girl next to him: "Go and ask Li Zhaohai to bring some people, tie up the second master and send him to the yamen. Beating one's own mother is a crime of treason, and it will be punished by the yamen."

"Hey." The little girl was too frightened to speak, but she was still trembling when she responded.After answering, the little maid hurriedly ran to the front to look for the butler Li Zhaohai.Li Zhaohai got the order, but just called a few servants to grab ropes and sticks, and rushed to Qian's yard.

When they got there, no one dared to say a word under Wang Ziteng's high-pressure aura.Seeing that Li Zhaohai really came, Wang Zisheng hurriedly crawled over and hugged Wang Ziteng's feet, saying: "Brother, we are brothers, how can you hand me over to the Yamen?"

Wang Ziteng kicked him away, and said: "Li Zhaohai, what are you still doing, tie him up and send him to the yamen."

"Hey." Li Zhaohai replied timidly, and hurriedly asked all the boys to go up and tie up people.

Seeing that Wang Ziteng was coming for real, Qian Shi thought that she would not be able to remain a widow, so she timidly went up and said with tears in her eyes: "Second Master, my master is not to blame for this matter, if it is all to blame, it is all my fault. I moved the money in the family." Yes, old lady, I accidentally knocked it because I didn't hold it steady."

Wang Ziteng turned around and looked at Qian's suddenly. Qian's body shrank again in fright, and he didn't dare to say a word.Wang Ziteng looked away, and said: "Whether it's skinning and weeding, or grinding bones and ashes, he deserves it. There is no such rebellious son in my Wang family. He is not my younger brother, so you can just pretend that you have never been married." this person."

When Wang Zisheng heard these words, all the confusion in his heart disappeared in an instant, leaving only a deep chill.He also forgot to struggle, and was dragged out by Li Zhaohai and his servant just like that.Only when he got out of the room did he come to his senses, crying and shouting: "Brother, let me go, I beg you to let me go. I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have gone out to gamble, I shouldn't have hurt people .”

Wang Ziteng pretended not to hear, and when he was about to go back to Wu's courtyard, the maid in Wu's room came first.The maid hurriedly came to Wang Ziteng, her eyes were full of tears, she just said: "Master, old lady..." Wang Ziteng knew something was wrong after hearing the words, and rushed to Wu's courtyard.

It only said that in Wu's room, Wang Xiyi had been telling stories to Wu, and when Wu was out of breath, Zhao Zhihan lost the slightest smile on her face.Zhao Zhihan held her in her arms, and really couldn't bear to tell Wang Xiyi that her grandmother had gone.Wang Xiyi probably doesn't know what kind of concept death is.

But Wang Ren and Wang Xifeng were just crying silently.Only waited for the prince to enter the room, and after a while, we heard the crying gradually.

The Wu family went, and the Wang family wept bitterly.The funeral is also held extremely grandly, extravagantly, not to mention.Zhao Zhihan was busy for several days, but Qian didn't interfere at all.Wang Ziteng also went to the palace to meet the emperor, took the initiative to sue for a long vacation, suspended his official duties, and came back to support Wu's spirit and return to Jinling.

In Jinling, after Wu's and Wang Ziteng's father's coffins were merged, the funeral really came to an end.As for Wang Zisheng, he was not subjected to the death penalty, but was sent to the border and exiled into the army.Wang Ziteng still said: "As long as my Wang family has never had this person, after that he, Wang Zisheng, has nothing to do with my Wang family."

But she said that because Wang Ziteng stopped his official position and kept his filial piety at home, Zhao Zhihan didn't want to travel to the capital anymore, and only persuaded Wang Ziteng to stay and live in Jinling for a while.Wang Ziteng also hadn't been in his hometown for a long time, and he had thought about it for a long time. He didn't want Zhao Zhihan to mention it first, so he naturally stayed.

Thinking that the mansion in the capital was left unattended, Zhao Zhihan just asked the housekeeper Li Zhaohai to go back and told him to take care of the mansion.Li Zhaohai said that he took the whole family back after only resting for a few days.Qian Shi didn't want to stay with Erfang, and offered to go back to the capital with Li Zhaohai.Zhao Zhihan didn't keep her, so she let her go.
