Weiyang of the Red Mansion

Niu Jizong saw that he had provoked the 'public anger', and hurriedly begged for mercy, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have missed your share, and I will punish myself with three glasses of wine." After speaking, he simply drank three glasses of wine.

Everyone clapped the table to applaud, Jia Amnesty also poured a glass of wine and raised his glass to signal, "I toast everyone, my thanks are all in this glass of wine."

Although the people present all looked down on Dong Wei, they had nothing to do with it. What are they going to do against Dong Wei for no reason?If you say they don't like Dong Wei, they didn't like Dong Wei before, didn't they also find trouble with Dong Wei?Each plays its own way and has nothing to do with each other.

Bringing this up now is just to vent my anger on Jia She. Before, it was a small fight, because Jia She could handle it by himself, so they naturally wouldn't intervene, but now the nature is different. The guy Dong Wei gathered downstairs just now. A group of people blocked Jia She's way, obviously the fighting had escalated, they and Jia She were playmates in the same circle, Dong Wei called someone, of course they would not just sit idly by.

But even though that guy Dong Wei is stupid, he is really not a brainless person, and he didn't make a scene in the street, otherwise they would have gone downstairs to help Jia Amnesty find a place on the spot.

Although Dong Wei retreated just now, this matter is really not in the past. You must know that they all remembered the fight a year ago.

The reason why they didn't do anything before was because they didn't know what Jia She thought, but now that Jia She's thought was confirmed, as good friends, they naturally wanted to help.

There are marriages between the four princes and eight princes. Although the Shoushan uncle's mansion is also honorable, it is not in the same way as the four princes and eight princes. Desperate now.

"Hey, it's all trivial," Niu Jizong said with a smile.

A group of people ate meat and drank wine, and the atmosphere was high.

"Speaking of which, since Enhou got engaged, his temperament has really changed a lot. He used to go out and call us all, but now he is holding such a little girl in his hand when he goes out. If I didn't know that you are Enhou, I would It’s still like being dropped by someone.”

The person who spoke was Chen Ruiwen, the son of the Duke of Qi, his face was red, obviously drunk.

But these words were echoed by many people, "Extremely, extremely, I saw Enhou being blocked by people downstairs before, I thought I had misjudged the person, but I didn't expect it to be Enhou."

Jia Amnesty let the group of guys who had drunk too much enjoy their mouths, but accidentally saw the second elder brother Jing from the East Mansion was distracted.

In fact, to be honest, Second Brother Jing from Dongfu is particularly conspicuous among this group of people. Although they are all dressed in brocade clothes, only Brother Jing’s Chinese clothes look particularly clean, and they have the unique characteristics of scholars. ...In the words of the children of their aristocratic family, it is shabby.

For the future of Dongfu, the uncle of the lobby of Dongfu forced Jing's second elder brother Kejia to become an official. Although he has passed the Jinshi examination, he is still studying in the Imperial Academy.

In fact, Uncle Lobby in the East Mansion forced Brother Jing to take the imperial examination, and it was a last resort. We all know that Grandpa Tang’s title of Duke, when he came to Uncle Lobby, he dropped several ranks in a row, only worthy of the title of a first-class general , compared to Jia Daishan, who was in his original position, he was far worse than Jia Daishan.

If Second Brother Jing just blindly ignores everything, waiting for the title, what is the use of the title of First Class Shenwei General when it comes to Second Brother Jing?It is inevitable that the Dongfu will be completely ruined. In desperation, the second brother Jing can only be admitted to the imperial examination. Fortunately, the second brother Jing is also talented in reading.

In the past two years, the uncle in the lobby of the Dongfu felt that there were successors in the Dongfu, and gradually handed over many matters in the Dongfu to the second brother Jing, who didn't seem to care much about the second brother Jing, and took him with him every time. The only son, Jia Zhen, who was in his early tenth year, Uncle Lobby only thought that his second elder brother was cultivating the future heir of the East Mansion, and he didn't think much about it, but these signs seemed unusual to Jia She.

If it was Jia She in the past, naturally he wouldn't be able to see anything, but now Jia She can clearly feel that this cousin doesn't seem to be self-motivated, and he doesn't blindly enjoy himself. The group of them eat wine and drink meat , only this second elder brother Jing seemed like a Buddhist monk who had never touched a drop of wine or ate a bite of meat. He just sat quietly drinking tea and listened to their nonsense.

Thinking of the deteriorating health of the uncle in the lobby of the East Mansion, his cousin Jia Jing, as the heir, seems to have the ability to support the family, but he has no determination to lead the East Mansion to a higher level. There was a hint of uneasiness, but there was nothing wrong with it, so I could only suppress it for the time being.

A group of people were full of wine and food, so they proposed to have a good time. Jia Jing was the first to decline, but the others fully agreed.

"My wedding is coming up, it's inconvenient to go to these places, you go." Jia She said.

Niu Jizong teased, "Yo, Marquis Jia En is now on the same level as Liu Xiahui. It really is the sun coming out from the west."

Jia She smiled wryly, it's hard to talk about those secret little thoughts in his heart, and he just pushed everything on his cheap father.

"Before the marriage decree came down, my father warned me not to make any scandals before Miss Tang came. After the decree came down, he called me to the study several times to warn me. Go, you won't see me tomorrow."

Hou Xiaolian said with a smile, "Mr. Rong, isn't this unnecessary? Even if you don't go before marriage, you can also not go after marriage? What's the difference between going before marriage or after marriage?"

"Don't tell me, even after marriage, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to those flower streets and willow alleys," he said, seeing that they didn't believe him, he said, "I'm not afraid to tell you, the master promised Tang Taifu, if I have no children at forty You can take concubines."

"So ruthless?" Everyone was startled, and Niu Jizong sighed again and again, "This is too much. What's the fun of taking a concubine after the age of forty? The most glorious time is over."

"Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I'm going back home. I'll treat you to a drink another day. You all have to come and have a drink when I get married. Let's go." After saying that, Jia She went downstairs with Bai Tuanzi in his arms. , without waiting for them to ask to stay.

"Hey, I will lose a companion in the future." Niu Jizong sighed.

Liu Fang smiled and said, "I think Enhou is enjoying it, don't you think so?"

"How do you say that?" Hou Xiaolian asked suspiciously.

Niu Jizong laughed twice, "Isn't this obvious? Didn't you see that when Enhou mentioned Tang Taifu's request, he didn't have the slightest bit of resentment. Obviously he agreed with Taifu's request."

"How come?" Hou Xiaolian's eyes widened, "Enhou, don't we know? He is a person who can't walk when he sees a beautiful girl. He is really willing to defend himself like a jade for a girl from the Tang family? Why do I feel that? , is this a bit weird?"

"The fox in his arms was originally captured and given to a girl from the Tang family, but he was worried that the fox was a wild beast, and he was afraid of hurting the girl from the Tang family, so he raised it for a while to get rid of the wildness. , After this period of time, the little fox couldn't leave Enhou's body anymore, and scratched people when he was carried away. The servants who served Enhou in the West Mansion were scratched several times. There was no way, Enhou I had to send other things, but I found out from nowhere that the Tang family girl likes medical books. I searched for a dozen rare medical books and sent them to the Tang residence. I heard that those books have been borrowed by the envoy, who said they copied a copy and returned them."

These words were said by Jia Jing, just now in the private room, everyone ate meat and drank alcohol, but he was the only one who stayed out of it, a bit out of place, once these words came out, he blended in with the group of people.

Everyone was speechless for a moment.

After a while, Xie Jin suddenly smiled and said, "In this way, I have solved one of my worries."

"What's on your mind?"

Xie Jin said helplessly, "Who else could it be for? Don't you just give up your brother?"

"What's the matter? Is your brother still thinking about the girl from the Tang family?" Niu Jizong asked in surprise.

Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, it was obvious that Xie Jin's younger brother was in love with the girl from the Tang family.

"You all know that Brother She has always been close to Enhou's younger brother, Jia Zheng, as if they were alone, but since Enhou and Miss Tang got engaged, the two met less often, and then something happened. What, the two broke up in Cyclamen, and there was no contact with Jia Zheng afterwards. I sent someone to ask, but he never mentioned what happened in Cyclamen that day. I asked Jiang Ying, Jiang Ying It's only because of the girl from the Tang family, I thought to myself, I'm afraid that my younger brother still thinks about Miss Tang in his heart, and said something inappropriate, which angered Jia Zheng. The Second Master Zheng of the national government went out of Beijing for a study tour without any warning, so my plans were all in vain, so I can only pretend not to know."

Niu Jizong raised his eyebrows, "When Enhou was here, why didn't you mention it? Enhou is different now, and has grown a lot. You mention it to him, and he will come forward in person, so that you can untie your brother's knot."

Hearing this, Xie Jin smiled wryly, "Please forgive me, Enhou does not blame him because he is magnanimous, but I can't make progress. Although I don't know what my good brother did, but I think it must be said in Cyclamen that day. What did you say that was not good to Enhou? Otherwise, the Second Master Zheng, who has always been humble, kind, and good-natured, would show his face to my good brother on the spot? I went to Jiang Ying, but Jiang Ying also hesitated, obviously something was wrong keep it from me."

He paused for a while, then said, "If the girl from the Tang family didn't agree to get married, it doesn't matter if my younger brother has some thoughts. The girl from the Tang family is now engaged. If he does something or says something behind his back, that's not right. What's more, even if there is no Enhou, it is not my turn to marry Tang Taifu's only daughter. In this case, there is no such thing as seizing love, and my younger brother's petty thoughts are untenable. In this way, I have How can you ask Enhou to come forward?"

Everyone was silent one after another, and they didn't know how to persuade them.

Liu Fang asked suddenly, "You just said that what Jing Erye said solved your worries. Could it be that you have already made up your mind?"
