Whose Evil in the Red Chamber

Huan Qian looked at Jing Xuan suspiciously, not sure if what Jing Xuan said was true or not, but he was not a fool, although he didn't know what happened in the yard, but seeing Wu Xi lose control of his emotions like that, his heart ached. Xia also understands that even if he is asked to take Wu Xi away now, the other party will not give him any good looks, and it may destroy the distance between the two of them who have worked so hard to get closer.

This feeling of being rejected by the person he loves is really terrible, Huan Qian touched his nose, and finally left with Jing Xuan reluctantly.

Today's dinner is destined to be full of twists and turns. They have just arrived at the front hall, and there are people passing through the door. They brought Liu Boxhao to the main room—you can't receive guests at the dinner table, can you?Huan Qian was thinking about Wu Xi's matter in his heart, impatient to socialize with Jing Xuan, seeing that he had a guest, he went back to the guest room first.

Liu Boshao did not expect Zhao Lin to be there. Although both of them are in the south of the Yangtze River, Liu Boshao kept his filial piety for his grandfather and stayed at home until today. Zhao Lin was very busy participating in the navy, and occasionally went back when he was free. The Zhao family; therefore, the two of them don't have time to meet each other often. This time they met at Jingxuan's place, which was the first time since the beginning of the new year.

After reminiscing about the past for a while, Liu Boshao couldn't help showing some disappointment when he didn't see Wang Qi. Jing Xuan saw that he had something on his mind, so he asked, "Brother Liu is looking for Wang Qi? He also left Gusu for a long time. I'm afraid I'm being scolded in front of my wife right now, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get away for a while. If it's convenient for Brother Liu, why don't you talk to us and see if we can help. "

Zhao Lin also echoed: "Yeah, yeah, Brother Liu, if you encounter something embarrassing, tell your brothers about it, Jingxuan has the most ideas."

Liu Boshao sighed: "I'm ashamed to say that it's still about my sister's family. I've been in a dilemma for a long time about this matter. Now that you guys have noticed it today, I'll just say it straight. I felt that it was difficult for others, so I put this matter behind me and never mentioned it again."

Jingxuan raised his eyebrows: "Is it Grandma Zhen?" The only elder sister who could embarrass Liu Boxhao to this extent is the one who married into the Zhen family back then. It's different, he's a refined and polite one, but the Zhen family suffered from shit, the young master Zhen wanted to study with peace of mind and get the gold medal to revive the family business, but the whole family of the Zhen family didn't have to do production, and all the family wealth was used to fill the shortfall of stealing and selling imperial products , fell to the point of being poor and white.

The men of the Zhen family were hardly engaged in production, and it was a problem to take care of themselves. Even if the imperial court did not requisition the Zhen family's sacrificial land, and told them to rely on the production of those few acres of land to live with peace of mind, it would be more uncomfortable than killing them.These troubled elders have their eyes fixed on their own wives.

The families who were able to marry the very prominent Zhen family were all famous families in the south of the Yangtze River. These wives had a lot of dowries, not to mention the families behind them?There are those who don't care about their aunt's life or death when they see the Zhen family suffering, but there are also Liu family who love their daughters so much that they subsidize them.

If the Zhen family has the backbone, relying on the money to buy more land, although the life is a bit more difficult, it is also solid.But the men of the Zhen family are used to enjoyment, they can't endure the hard life, relying on their own women to obtain money, they can't wait to think of the enjoyment of fine clothes and food in the past, and the money they get is quickly squandered.

After all, these wives are married daughters. After a few times of help from their mother's family, they found out that the Zhen family was in such a situation, and they all let go of them. , Mr. Zhen even stretched his hands into his son's room, openly demanding money from Mrs. Liu.

Under such circumstances, it would be strange if Young Master Zhen could really keep his ears shut and only read the books of sages and sages.After the two trials, Young Master Zhen was also very discouraged. Looking at the current smog in the family, he was depressed and contracted tuberculosis, and passed away at a young age.

After the death of Young Master Zhen, Grandma Zhen became a widow. The Liu family gave her mother-in-law a sum of money and left her dowry in the Zhen family. leave.Grandma Zhen brought her children back to Gusu, hugged her mother and brothers, and cried. After three years of mourning for their father, the son was 15 years old, but the 14-year-old daughter went to see her in-laws. when.

The son can look after the daughter of a small family, and she doesn't ask for anything else, as long as the girl is virtuous and gentle.But the daughter's life-long event cannot be ignored. Some members of the Liu family fell in love with the Liu family's care for Grandma Zhen's mother and daughter, and wanted to marry Miss Zhen.But Grandma Zhen saw that these people were only looking for profit, and after careful consideration, she found that these people who came to propose marriage were idlers who wanted to get married just because they wanted to build a relationship with the family.Marrying a daughter to such a person is tantamount to ruining her life, Grandma Zhen will never let go of her mouth no matter what.

Liu Boxhao and his sister have a deep relationship, and they also love this ill-fated niece. When he is at home, he also inquires about whether there is a suitable family. It seems that Liu Boxhao thinks that Wang Qi's brother, Wang Shejia, is the most suitable.Wangshe has become one of the largest merchants in the south of the Yangtze River since its establishment. Although its foundation is not as deep as that of the Xue family, it is backed by the Marquis of Xing'an, so people dare not underestimate it.

Wang She has two sons and a daughter. The elder son doesn't like reading and started studying business with his father since he was a child. The younger son loves martial arts. Now he has passed the martial arts examination.Although the Wang family is now a businessman, there are not a few families who are willing to come to marry. With Miss Zhen's condition, Liu Boshao really feels that he has no idea in his heart, and it's just a down-and-out family. The main reason is that he has offended the emperor. .

It was precisely because of these past events of the Zhen family that it was really difficult for Liu Boshao to speak about proposing marriage. He looked at Jingxuan, Wei Zhen and Zhao Lin, his face flushed, and he thought about it for a long time before he said: "My sister's family The eldest sister of the Zhen family is now 14 years old. She is not picky in appearance, and has a very gentle and gentle temperament. Unfortunately, the reputation of the Zhen family has been burdened, and so far no suitable family has been found. My sister and I do not ask for anything else. I just hope that I can find a kind and gentle family for her, and I will be satisfied."

Sure enough, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Jing Xuan looked at the gentle and elegant brother Liu who was hesitating when he talked about this matter, and his gentle and handsome face turned red. He couldn't help but feel emotional in his heart, and laughed: Brother Liu, let’s just say it straight, which kid do you like?”

Liu Boshao said embarrassingly: "The eldest brother of the Wang family, Jiangnan now calls him Xiao Wang's shopkeeper, and his temper is as gentle as that of the Wang family's brother. I think he is a good match for my niece. I'm not boasting. My niece is also a generous man. Temperament, the two of you couldn't be more suitable."

Jing Xuan nodded: "I will discuss this matter with Wang Qizhi, but whether it is successful or not depends on Brother Wang's intentions. If it is done, Brother Liu will definitely treat me to a matchmaker's wine. If it cannot be done, Brother Liu will also do not blame me."

Liu Boxhao was overjoyed: "This is natural!"

Zhao Lin interjected next to him: "Don't worry, Brother Liu, even if the matter of the Wang family fails, there is still our Zhao family. Our Zhao family is prosperous. My niece picks a husband-in-law and wraps it with me!"

Liu Boshao smiled and said nothing, the Zhao family is indeed a good match, he has also thought about it, but the old lady of the Zhao family is not a good one, the mother just took the eldest sister to the Zhao family for two times, the old lady knew it She declined privately, the Liu family is also aware of current affairs, marriage is a good relationship between the two families, and the melon that is forced is not sweet, the Zhao family's attitude is so obvious, the Liu family does not force it.

However, Zhao Lin has been in the navy camp all day long, not at Zhao's house, and he is not a person who is meticulous about such things in the inner house. It is understandable that he did not find out about this matter. Naturally, Liu Boshao would not break the window paper at this time, so he Just smiled and said nothing.Jingxuan accepted the affairs of the Wang family, he was relieved, and his mood improved a lot. Several people chatted and laughed, Jingxuan learned that Liu Boxhao didn't have dinner, so he asked him to eat with him.

After dinner, Jing Xuan looked at Zhao Lin's injured arm and asked, "Isn't the sea calm recently?"

Zhao Lin nodded: "It's meddling in other matters. Because of this, I was scolded bloody by the general and ordered to reflect on myself. That's why I have been resting for a few days."

Brother Jin, who learned from the former admiral of the navy, was appointed to lead the navy to be responsible for the drills, and the craftsmen in the dockyard brainstormed to improve the ships. Now the strength of the navy in this dynasty is not what it used to be. It's miserable.In the past, most of the merchant ships and fishermen on the waters of the current dynasty offered their belongings in order to obtain the protection of the pirates and prevent them from being invaded by the pirates.

There are quite a few chivalrous men among these pirates who are rampant overseas. They have been recruited by the navy a lot over the years, and the power of the navy has grown even stronger. With the help of these pirates' strongholds at sea, the sailors fought a few beautiful battles. Winning the battle completely wiped out the spirit of the Japanese pirates, so that they would no longer dare to offend at will.

The Japanese pirates lost their income here, so they shifted their targets to the neighboring country, Qianxiang Country.Overseas Qianxiang country lived on the island for generations, and the power of the navy should not be underestimated, and it was evenly matched with the Japanese pirates.Because the Qianxiang Kingdom did not pay tribute to the dynasty, it did not belong to the dynasty, so the navy did not intervene in the struggle between the Qianxiang Kingdom and the Japanese pirates.

On that day, Zhao Lin led a team of sailors to cruise. It happened that the fishermen of Qianxiang Kingdom were chased by Japanese pirates to the waters of the dynasty. After meddling in the affairs of Qianxiang Country, General Jin ordered him to reflect.

"Xianxiang country? I heard that the overseas Qianxiang country has different customs from ours. It is also called the country of daughters and is headed by women. Is this rumor true?" Jing Xuan asked curiously.

Zhao Lin nodded, and said with concern: "That's right, even the king of Qianxiang Kingdom is a woman, but the women on their side are different from ours, they are very tough, stronger than ordinary men. Kong Wu is much more powerful, tsk tsk, they are all tigresses!"

Wei Zhen poured Jingxuan a cup of tea: "Ask carefully what Qian Xiangguo is here for."

Jing Xuan touched his chin thoughtfully: "Uncle has been looking for a chance to rectify the name of the navy. If Qian Xiangguo asks uncle for help and is willing to pay tribute, no one in the court will dare to speak out against it. As long as the navy becomes famous in one battle , no one will dare to speak lightly."

In the last years of the previous dynasty, the great ancestor of this dynasty suffered a lot from the naval forces of the previous dynasty. There were no naval generals who were good at fighting in this dynasty. Afterwards, the sea area was closed to defend against the Japanese pirates, and the Navy Yamen was abandoned as a result.

Over time, this has become a customary ancestral rule. The current emperor wants to break this, and the resistance he encounters is not insignificant. Now the navy has prospered and grown under the guise of the dock. If he can use the power of other countries to become famous, he will win People's hearts, those people in the court no longer dare to make irresponsible remarks.

Zhao Lin's eyes lit up when he heard Jing Xuan's words: "Really? That's really great! It's really boring to hide in the island every day for secret training, and even if you win a battle, you have to pretend to be a pirate. If you can hang up Flag campaign, that is a great thing!"

"Good things are bad things. You should take care of your injuries first. Be careful that when the war breaks out, you still take a bath because of your injuries, but you will regret it. I also have prepared wound medicines here, which are better than ordinary wound medicines." The effect is better, you can use it." After Jing Xuan finished speaking, he ordered his servants to fetch the wound medicine and hand it to Zhao Lin.

It was getting late, Zhao Lin and Liu Boxhao said goodbye together, Jing Xuan and Wei Zhen went back to the back, and what they saw was Mr. Wu who had been fully dressed and returned to normal, and the little ball sitting next to him like a little adult, Huan Qian wanted to come over, but was sent away by Mr. Wu, probably hiding in the room right now, biting his handkerchief tearfully.

The yin and yang are separated by more than ten years, and the old people know each other for two or three days. It is no wonder that Wu Xi has endless things to say to Xiao Qiuer. It's time for my son to go to bed early, and his physical strength has long been exhausted.

It was only then that Wu Xi asked Jing Xuan to go to bed with the little ball in his arms. Now that they had revealed their identities, Jing Xuan didn't feel embarrassed holding the little ball. On the contrary, there was a touch of warmth. It's no wonder he As soon as I saw the little ball, I liked it.Xiaoqiu'er didn't feel any embarrassment about being held in his "son"'s arms, and felt warm in his heart. No matter how Jing Xuan liked it, he didn't even look at Wei Zhen. The displeasure of the son-in-law.In the memory of three years together, it is enough for him to understand what kind of person Wei Zhen is.

But... even if he understands that Wei Zhen is someone who can be trusted, his family's Jing Xuan is not yet 16 years old, so he still can't let the wolf cub take him away!The little ball nestled in Jing Xuan's arms very calmly, between Jing Xuan and Wei Zhen, yawned, and soon fell into a sweet dream.

Wei Zhen looked down at the father-in-law baby in his daughter-in-law's arms, his face became darker and darker.After driving for so long, I finally want to hug my daughter-in-law and have a good night's rest. What's the matter with buying one and getting one free, huh?

Jing Xuan couldn't help but look at the little ball who had become naive since he revealed his identity, and raised his eyebrows helplessly at Wei Zhen: "Rest early, let's go to Wang Qi tomorrow and take the little ball for a stroll A visit to the scenery of Gusu."

Wei Zhen had no choice but to fall asleep. Xu was thinking day by day and dreaming at night. In the dream, he and Jing Xuan seemed to have returned to the hot spring village in Beijing. Soaking in the hot spring pool, the water droplets hanging on the collarbone are so full that people can't help but want to reach out and rub them.

The white neck was flushed due to the warm water vapor, it was slender and slender, and one couldn't help swallowing when looking at it, he heard his heartbeat was about to jump out of his chest, he walked forward unconsciously, and jumped Into the pool, wanting to hold Jing Xuan in his arms.

At this moment, a small ball appeared from under the water surface, and the same naked doll faced his face, and sprayed the boy's urine all over his face. When Wei Zhen was awakened by this nightmare, the sky was already bright, Both Xiaoqiuer and Jingxuan woke up, and they were looking helplessly at the small tent he had set up.

Xiao Qiu'er put his arms around Jing Xuan's neck, this brat, with him in the middle, he can still think like this, it's really daring!Jing Xuan couldn't help laughing even more, how could he not understand Wei Zhen's self-control?It's not easy to make Wei Zhen lose his temper, but he made such a thing at this moment.

With a puff, Jing Xuan couldn't help laughing. Seeing Wei Zhen's black face getting darker and darker, Jing Xuan laughed more and more happily. He pointed at Wei Zhen and said with a smile, "Why don't you go to the back to solve it?"

Wei Zhen's face was darker than the bottom of the pot, and he went to the back to take a bath and change clothes without saying a word. Jing Xuan lay down on the bed with a smile. A light smile.

In this way, the "family of three" had breakfast and went to Gusu by boat in an unusually "pleasant" atmosphere. The last time I saw Mrs. Hou in a hurry, this time Jingxuan stayed with Mrs. Hou in the mansion After talking for a long time, they had some refreshments together before being sent out by the madam for a stroll.

During the period, Jing Xuan mentioned the matter of the Liu family, and his wife agreed to come down and talk to Mrs. Wang. After Jing Xuan's concern was settled, he took the little ball to enjoy the scenery of Gusu.

After leaving Gusu for so many years, some of the familiar shops in the streets and alleys are still there, but some have changed their appearance. Walking to the familiar streets, Jingxuan suddenly feels like time flies when he recalls the little things that happened here. Feeling, it is embarrassing.

The blacksmith shop that was sold to Wei Zhen at the beginning has become a medicine shop, and the old blacksmith no longer knows where to move to retire; The name of Xu Zhai has been put on it; the back alley of the pharmacy where he and his mother used to live together is still intact.

"That boy Xue Pan was held down and spanked by my mother back then." Jing Xuan pointed to the open space beside the well, thinking of the interesting things in the past, he couldn't help feeling deeply moved in his heart.

Wei Zhen held his hand, Xiao Qiu'er hugged his neck, and the two silently comforted Jing Xuan who suddenly felt a sense of sadness.Revisiting the old place can always evoke uneasy emotions.Jing Xuan looked at Wei Zhen who was holding hands with him, time flies, he and Wei Zhen have grown up.The scene of the calm young boy with his young self can't help but appear in front of his eyes. The temperature of Wei Zhen's palm has not changed for so many years, and the big hand holding the small hand back then has become the holding hand of today. The corner of Jing Xuan's mouth reveals With a gentle smile, Wei Zhen couldn't help but blush a little on his dark face.

The little ball hugged Jing Xuan's neck, looked at the gentle and pleasant Jing Xuan who was smiling, and then at Wei Zhen whose black face was flushed, and buried her little face on Jing Xuan's back, hey, It's too big to stay!
