Whose Evil in the Red Chamber

Madam Hou's birthday will be half a month later. This year is not the whole birthday, and Madam Hou is not in the habit of throwing a big banquet. She originally planned to celebrate with the whole family together, but because she was concerned about the Zhenda that Jingxuan mentioned, Miss, Mrs. Hou decided to take the opportunity of the birthday banquet to take a good look at Miss Zhen.

In addition, Mrs. Hou is really anxious about Wang Qi's marriage, and she also wants to take advantage of this birthday banquet to invite more suitable young ladies to come, and make a marriage arrangement for Wang Qi no matter what.On this point, the Wang family and his wife also agree very much.

Wang Qi had to be prepared for the birthday banquet and at the same time be flanked by his adoptive mother, biological mother, and sister-in-law. The sorrow inside is about to overflow: "Quickly think of a way for me, this time my mother and the others have given me an ultimatum, and I have to choose one of the girls who came to the birthday banquet this time. Future daughter-in-law, this is simply too difficult!"

"I asked you what kind of daughter-in-law you want, but you couldn't tell. I told you to make plans early, and you said that you were not in a hurry. Now you know the trouble? What did you do?" Jing Xuan looked at Wang. Qi Ku could not help shaking his head with his hahaha look, this kid is also a strange thing, he is like an elm lump emotionally, he is not enlightened, and now he has grown into a weak crown, and he doesn't even have a housemate around him , is still a boy, it is simply unbelievable.

"Hey! I didn't meet someone I like. What do you want me to do?" Wang Qi rested his chin on his hands and continued to sigh on the table. Big brother Wei seems to want to trap a child bride-in-law if he beats a child, and he won't... ouch..."

Before Wang Qi finished speaking, he was slapped on the head by the "child bride" Jing Xuan, grinning and covering the place where Jing Xuan hurt, Wang Qi apologized to Jing Xuan embarrassingly, hey, what a cheap mouth The problems of the company are really fatal.

"What do you think of Xue Pan's sister?" Wei Zhen, who had been watching Jing Xuan and Wang Qi's mischief just now, suddenly spoke, and Wang Qi's eyes widened in shock.

"You mean Miss Xue?" Wang Qi knew that Xue Pan had a younger sister. Hearing what Wei Zhen said, he thought of Miss Xue's engagement to the Qin family and asked. : "Is it because of the baby's kiss in the past that made it difficult for the girl to say kiss?"

Wei Zhen shook his head: "That's just the second thing. The main reason is that Mrs. Xue's vision is too high. Ordinary people look down on her, so she has the idea of ​​not changing it. She just received the news from Beijing this morning. Mrs. Xue thinks Miss Jia can do it. Marrying into the palace to be a princess, her daughter can't be overwhelmed by the girl of the Jia family no matter what, maybe she will have the fate of a concubine, so she wants to ask the Xue family to get through the relationship and send Miss Xue to the palace, and she will also learn from that. Miss Jia’s path starts from the women’s history.”

Jingxuan, what you said was calm, but Wang Qi was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out: "Is it possible that mothers like to push their own girls into the fire pit these days?"

The matter of the Zhongshun Palace was handled by their brothers, and Wang Qi knew all about it. Mrs. Wang was confused, Mrs. Xue was confused, but the Xue family was not confused. If the harem is to be widely accepted today, which family who really cares about their daughter is willing to voluntarily send their daughter to the deep palace to be rich?Or be a servant girl?

Not to mention that the Xue family has a big business and a prosperous family. It is not a problem for Xue Pan and his wife to set up a family. Even if there is a situation where Miss Xue and the Qin family divorced, it is not difficult for Miss Xue to find a good marriage. .In order to compare with Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xue actually moved the idea of ​​sending her daughter to the palace, which really opened Wang Qi's eyes.I have seen people who are so stupid, but it is really rare to be so stupid!

"Then what does Miss Xue mean?" Wang Qi couldn't help being a little curious. For a young girl who has not experienced much in the world, she is now in her prime and is the most honorable person in the world. This kind of temptation can make many little girls Lost.As for the ambitious girl, there are only two young princes in the palace, and the future is still unknown. If she can leap the dragon's gate and give birth to a prince, she may become the most honorable woman in the world in the future.Whether Miss Xue's entry into the palace was just Mrs. Xue's wishful thinking, or the mutual wish of both mother and daughter, the difference is huge.

"She is transparent, and she has a smart sister-in-law like Wu Niang by her side, and she has no intention of entering the palace." The Xue family's current family affairs do not depend on the girl to gain wealth. If she really enters the palace, she will become a laughing stock No matter how rich the Xue family is now, no one dares to bully them in the capital, after all, they are still born as merchants. If they marry into an official family, they may be secretly talked about. If they really enter the palace, this identity is her hard work. The injury will be lingering for the rest of his life, Xue Baochai is as smart as a child, and he can't even see through this point.

"I met Miss Xue when I was a child. I haven't even met her face to face in these years, and I don't even know if she is round or flat. But since she is a smart person with a clear mind, it is rare." Wang Qiruo Said thoughtfully.

Jing Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Listen to what you said, you have been refusing to let go of your engagement, there must be something hidden. When I ask you on weekdays, you always talk about him, but today there is no one else, you Is there any story, can't you tell us two?"

Wang Qi let out a long sigh: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you, and you could catch me even if I showed a little word of mouth."

In fact, it is not a new thing to say, Wang Qi inherited the title of Marquis of Xing'an and managed the huge property of the Marquis Mansion. Apart from the fact that he has not been sent to the court so far, he can be called a very popular son-in-law in the eyes of others. Candidates.But he is not Mrs. Hou's own son, but the step-son adopted from the Wang family. For this point, these aristocratic families in Jiangnan are not indifferent.

Looking at it now, this young Marquis of Xing'an has balanced the relationship between his adoptive mother and his biological mother very well. The Wang family has taken advantage of the power of the Hou family to rise, and Mrs. Hou also said that Wang Qi is very filial to the outside world.But people's hearts are separated by belly, and things gather together and people are divided into groups. Just look at Lin Jingxuan who grew up with Wang Qida, who is disrespectful to his aunt.Today Wang Qi can be filial to his adoptive mother, who knows what will happen in the future?When the time comes when my daughter marries into the Hou's Mansion, it will be a big bad thing for him to be charged with unfilial piety.

Jing Xuan didn't expect that he would be dragged into it by these wives, so he also understood why Wang Qi hesitated to talk about the secrets here, so he couldn't help but sneered: "They really have such leisure!"

"That's not right!" Wang Qi stared, "Later I heard that my mother had taken a fancy to the third girl from the Lu family. The third girl Lu was well-known in the city for her kindness, and she was well-known for her pity for the poor and the young. When I was watching Miss Lu San go to Hanshan Temple to offer incense, I quietly took a look at her. That girl is indeed a good-looking girl, but I really don't agree with her temper.

No wonder the old people say that you need to know your confidantes, but listen to the backstory!Miss Lu San is merciful, but I can't stand the arrogance in her merciful kindness. It's also a coincidence, because my mother and the Lu family have exchanged a few words, and the Lu family also knows what you and our family are thinking. , So I told the three girls, when I went, I overheard the three girls talking about it with her mother.

What she said was inside and out, and she described my elder brother and sister-in-law as villains who cling to the Hou's mansion, and she was worried that my elder brother and the others would overwhelm the master in the future.Her mother also taught her that after she married into my family, she had to be persuasive and persuasive, and help me to 'discover the real and the fake'.Listen to what this said, what do you mean by dove occupying magpie's nest?What is persuasion?It's like knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing the heart, even Miss Lu San, who has always been regarded as kind-hearted and compassionate to the poor, thinks so in her heart. How can I have any intention of marrying a daughter-in-law? "

After calling Wang Qi down the phone, Jing Xuan understood Wang Qi's worry.Leaving aside, let’s just talk about Mrs. Xue’s matter. If the Xue family’s father and son hadn’t been able to stand up, and because of Mrs. Xue’s indiscriminate attitude and short-sightedness, the Xue family would have been defeated long ago.If the housewife marries the wrong person, there will be troubles and restlessness in the whole family.

"In this way, Miss Xue is not bad. If Miss Xue hadn't dealt with Mrs. Xue and the Xue family father and son these years, maybe Mrs. Xue would have made some troubles. Marrying a smart person who knows how to deal But the house of the Marquis Mansion is safe. Besides, Xue’s family is also from a merchant family, Miss Xue is not uncommon, and she can help you a little bit.” Wei Zhen said after a moment of thought.

Wang Qi looked at Wei Zhen curiously: "Brother Wei, it's rare to see you being so active. Could there be some reason for this?"

Wei Zhen looked away, his face was dark, and after a while, he was defeated under the gaze of Jing Xuan and Wang Qi's curious eyes: "Xue Pan told me that after their father and son tried their best to dissuade Mrs. After Miss Xue wanted to enter the palace, she wanted her daughter to be Grandma Lin again!"

Grandma Lin...Wang Qi smashed the word a bit, well, isn't this Jing Xuan's daughter-in-law?Wang Qi was dumbfounded, this Mrs. Xue really dared to think!Jing Xuan couldn't help but touch his forehead, he really didn't expect that Mrs. Xue would have her idea on him.

Wang Qi couldn't help laughing: "Brother Wei is jealous!"

Wei Zhen generously admitted that he was just jealous, he just didn't want others to think about his Jingxuan, no one else!Jing Xuan smiled and lay in Wei Zhen's arms: "You can also eat this kind of dry vinegar. That's how old Miss Xue is, that is, Mrs. Xue 'planning for a rainy day'. She is too busy to worry about her own girl all day long! "

Wei Zhen hugged Jing Xuan and continued to persuade Wang Qi: "Jing Xuan is right, this Miss Xue is still young, you are engaged to her, and you will have to wait a few more years before you can officially get married. Take it easy for a few years, and you won't be talked about by your wife, the best of both worlds?"

Wang Qi was lying on the table, laughing and pounding on the table, tears were about to come out: "Just to eliminate your rival in love for Brother Wei, I also agreed to the matter of Miss Xue, I will go and talk to my mother right away." explain!"

Mrs. Hou was still a bit hesitant about the family status of the Xue family at first, but after Wang Qi broke it into pieces and told Mrs. Hou about Miss Lu San, Mrs. Hou was so angry that her almond eyes widened and her face turned red : "Okay, I really misjudged my eyes! These girls are so cute in front of me, but they treat our family like this behind their backs. It's really nice!"

With such a comparison, the family background of the Xue family is no longer a problem. No matter how good the family background is, it is unclear who will marry back. Madam Hou feels that she is asking for trouble.It was not easy for Wang Qi to ask for someone he wanted to marry, but she really had no reason to stop her.

"It's a pity that she's a little younger. When she gets married when she is Ji, how old are you! When the children of ordinary people reach your age, they will call them daddy!" Probably, this is Madam Hou's last regret for Xue Baochai up.

Wang Qi monkey seemed to hold his wife's arm: "Mother, I'm still young! Besides, you are so young, how can you be a grandmother!"

Mrs. Hou looked at Wang Qi helplessly: "You are the only one who can talk! You have to go and inform your parents about this matter. They have also broken their hearts for your marriage these years. But the matter of Miss Lu San Son, don’t say it, it will only make them sad.”

The Wangs are dutiful people and have a gentle temperament. Madam has often had tea and chats with Mrs. Wang over the years, and their relationship is comparable to that of sisters. Mrs. Wang thinks that she is a farmer, and Madam Hou treats her like this with such an honorable status. Treating her kindly and seeing her younger son from time to time, she just felt that she couldn't repay Mrs. Hou's kindness in her heart; I don’t know how many times stronger those who are sweet-mouthed and sword-stricken. Talking to Mrs. Wang and listening to those interesting things in the country also makes Mrs. Hou feel at ease, and often calls Wang Qi to accompany Mrs. Wang when she is passing the house, also known as Mrs. Wang Meet the younger son who is not around.

How can there be any reason for the two ladies to get along unhappy?It's just that even if these things are told, the wives of those aristocratic families in the city probably won't believe it. Who doesn't have anything to worry about in a high-rise mansion?Bastards and concubines, who are separated from their bellies, harbor evil intentions, let alone unrelated stepsons.It is not difficult to understand that they are thinking of others because of themselves, and they refuse to believe that the Xing'an Marquis Mansion is so harmonious.

Wang Qi agreed, and went to find his eldest brother Wang She to talk about this matter. It would be better for his sister-in-law to come forward and talk to his mother about this matter.Wang She and Xue Mingyi had dealt with each other before, and he admired the behavior of this big boss Xue very much. He didn't know Mrs. Xue's worries. Commitment down.

Wei Zhen also replied to Xue Pan's letter immediately, mentioning the matter of the Marquis of Xing'an's intention to get married to Miss Xue. This kind of matter cannot be delayed, and it is better to settle it early, so that Mrs. Xue will not always worry about his Jing. Xuan.

Although Wang Qi's marriage came to a conclusion, but in order to calmly show Wang She's eldest son to see Miss Zhen, this birthday banquet still has to be held.However, Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Wang were very happy after solving the marriage of Wang Qi, which was the most worrying thing for them.

On the day of the birthday banquet, Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Wang, and Grandma Wang inspected Miss Zhen calmly, and found that she was indeed a soft-tempered and honest-hearted person. The two wives were very satisfied. .With the lessons learned from Miss Lu San, Mrs. Hou dare not draw conclusions lightly, for fear of being mistaken.

After many investigations, she saw that Miss Zhen was really the same as she appeared, so Madam Hou let go, and Madam Wang was not dissatisfied, so the Wang family sent an official matchmaker to propose marriage, and settled the elder brother of the Wang family with Zhen. The big girl's marriage.This marriage made everyone in Gusu City lose their eyesight, and they were all thinking about the deep meaning behind it.

Back then, the Zhen family was offended by the emperor, and now the Wang family, who is so close to Lin Jingxuan, went to the girl of the Zhen family. I also feel that I can't figure it out.

And just as they were trying their best to guess the story behind this marriage, Jing Xuan brought the little ball to the old residence of Zhen's family in Jinling, which is now the "Yuan Garden" personally approved by the current emperor.

Looking at the two familiar characters on the plaque, Xiaoqiu'er couldn't help showing a look of melancholy.Due to his young age, adults sometimes do not shy away from speaking in front of him. When he just recovered the memory of his previous life and knew who he really was, he was firstly surprised by Jing Xuan's identity, and secondly, he was surprised by the ninth brother. I was surprised that he thought so much about him.

The ninth brother has always been close to him, and in his eyes he is a somewhat stubborn but well-behaved younger brother. Although his temper is sometimes a bit extreme, but no matter how energetic the young man is, his temper will naturally restrain himself.When it comes to major events, the ninth brother never makes mistakes, and he is a rare young talent.

What's even more commendable is that in the deep palace where the brothers fought to the death for the throne, the ninth younger brother stood beside him with all his heart, without any selfishness at all.At the beginning, he introduced the ninth brother as a close brother and confidant, but he didn't know that the other party would have such thoughts towards him.

Since when did the brotherhood change?Little Qiu'er really wanted to break his head but couldn't figure it out, so he simply put this matter behind him and acted like an ostrich to escape. Regardless of his status, he will repay the ninth brother's brotherhood in this life, and he is really powerless to resist that kind of affection.

After visiting Jinling for a few days, Jingxuan originally planned to take Xiaoqiuer and Wei Zhen to Weiyang again, but a letter from the capital broke Jingxuan's original plan. The Supreme Emperor contracted typhoid fever and was dying!

Faced with this kind of news, all desire for fun was thrown away. Jing Xuan and Wei Zhen took the little ball, Wu Xi and Huanqian, and they rushed back to the capital with light clothes and speed.

It is extremely risky to catch the wind and cold, not to mention that the emperor is now a rare year, and he can't stand the torment of typhoid fever. For so many years, the emperor has really loved Jing Xuan. Although Jing Xuan's feelings for the emperor's grandfather It's complicated, but when it comes to such a critical moment of life and death, I still feel anxious and anxious.

Little Qiu'er's mood is the same. The love of his father in the first half of his life and the suspicion of his father in the second half of his life are intertwined. Although he died in the sea of ​​fire in the end, the most vivid memory of his father is that he taught him when he was young. The father who read and practiced calligraphy.There is no way to distinguish between complicated emotions, and there is only one thought in his heart at this moment, he wants to see his father for the last time.
