Enemies in the Red Chamber

In another five days, Mr. Li returned to the table.A lot of people came back this time, except for the few who played well on weekdays, there was also a new face who looked a few years older than the others.Mr. Li said that he is the second son of the famous Yang family in Shandong, and his mother is from the Confucius family of Yansheng Gong. In this way, he is extravagant, collects miscellaneous knowledge, never shows off, is compassionate and compassionate to the common people... He almost wants to list all the good words on Mr. Yang.

Maybe Mr. Yang couldn't bear such compliments from Mr. Li. Seeing that Mr. Li seemed to have a load of compliments to say, Mr. Yang hurriedly stopped him: "My surname is Yang, and I haven't written it yet. I have seen you all."

Mr. Wang was acquainted with himself, and took the lead to invite Mr. Yang to sit down, "Brother Yang, please sit down. We are different from others. We are all close friends on weekdays, so we don't have to be too polite. My surname is Wang, and our single name is Dong. We haven't seen anyone whom Li San admires so much, so it can be seen that Mr. Yang must have something extraordinary."

Everyone else introduced themselves one by one.

After drinking for three rounds, he talked about Mr. Zhang's marriage, and then he talked about his concubines.All of you here are the sons-in-law, and you are not afraid of hurting anyone. At this time, everyone is a little confused, and dare to say anything.Some people talked about the superficiality and pettiness of their own concubine brothers, and others talked about the concubine's struggle for property, or the murder of the concubine's son. In the end, I don't know which one said that the concubine's son was the most redundant.

Liu Ge'er listened to their childish words and laughed, he had suffered from the concubine brothers, and he also favored his concubine son, and he had a deep understanding of this, thinking, "What do you little kids know, the concubines are no more than you?" It's a title.If there is really a loved one, and the child born with a common character still feels wronged, how can anyone not love him?If the concubine brother is really so unsightly, there is nothing to be concerned about, the one who should be most afraid of the concubine is the royal family. '

Just as he was enjoying himself, he suddenly heard Yang Shili say: "We all know that the dispute between the sons and daughters is the cause of chaos in the family. Seeking the root cause is just the result of men not knowing how to control themselves. If you ignore beauty and focus on self-cultivation, why are there so many troubles? Begging for more children The grandson thinks the concubine is vulgar, so he doesn't know what to say!"

The Yang family in Shandong and the Kong family of Yan Shenggong are good family members. The main branches of the two families have never taken concubines and maidservants, and the brothers of the side branches also need to pay five clothes to have concubine children.It's not surprising that Yang Shili uttered these words suddenly when he was drunk. This is the education he received since he was a child, and he has always demanded the same from himself.

Brother Liu didn't know this, but he heard the meaning in his words. He was drunk, and without thinking, he opened his mouth and said, "Could it be that brother Yang can't take a concubine? If brother Yang has a lover in the future, or he doesn't belong to the right family, or you already have one." Wife, I don't know how to arrange Brother Yang?"

At this time, everyone in the banquet was a little drunk, and when they heard this, several people laughed and said: "The Yang family has its own family rules, of course they don't accept concubines."

Some of the families present had already arranged for a roommate or were thinking about it, and they also felt uncomfortable. Some people laughed it off generously, while others were more petty, and continued: "What's the matter? There are some house rules. Families that take concubines do not have concubines and maidservants, but it is a pity that the outer room keeps one house after another, which is even less dignified. What's more, it is not uncommon for them to torture their original wives to death before remarrying."

Yang Shili sang with chopsticks on the cup, and after the song ended, Brother Liu said: "Even if there are no family rules, it's the same. If there is someone you love, you will respect her and try your best to marry her. How can you take a concubine?" If you can't marry her, then you would rather let her go than humiliate her. If you are already married, you only have your wife in your heart, how can there be another beloved, not to mention the difference between men and women , If you stick to etiquette, you can’t even say a few words, it’s all empty talk.”

Some people want to criticize: "If that woman just wants to follow you, why would she rather be a concubine? She has sacrificed a lot for you and you will not be moved? If there is a maidservant or a confidante who loves you, you know that you don't like it." love?"

Yang Shili said: "If that woman is willing to become a concubine and is not worthy of my love, I must have misjudged the person. If she is wrong, she will naturally be cut off. As for the maidservant, if she serves properly, she begged me to go out and be a concubine." A woman from a good family is only interested in me if she marries someone to be a decent husband and wife. Just wanting to climb Gaozhi to be the master and the aunt of the men is not disgusting! There are also so-called beautiful women who are really backbone and innocent women, who would rather hit her head on Even if I die, I don't want to break my joints, since I have bent over, how can I talk about my integrity, such a person will stain my eyes!" Afterwards, he said loudly: "I wish to imitate celebrities, one wife for life is enough! "The implication is that continuous strings are also unnecessary.

Mr. Li jumped up against the case: "Okay!"

The rest of the crowd laughed, some disdain, some admired, and Liu Geer served him a toast: "30 years later, Brother Yang, as he said today, Lin Zhao will set wine and sing operas to entertain gentlemen!" Liu Geer couldn't do it himself, but he still liked I admire those who can do it.

Mr. Du also drank the wine in his glass: "We will meet again in 30 years, and we are very lucky to have this gentleman as a friend."

Yang Shili really didn't know what was worthy of being called a gentleman by doing this, so he could only say: "It's far from being a gentleman."

It's just that not long after this passage, I met Mr. Li again, and only then did I know that Yang Shili had left.Brother Liu asked why it was so sudden, Mr. Li sighed: "Mr. Yang came to Beijing to celebrate his aunt's birthday, and he planned to stay for two more months, but he regretted what he said in the wine that day, so he left. "

It turned out that after going back to sober up, Yang Shili recalled what he said at that time, and regretted not falling.It was originally what was in my heart, but if I said it, it would be self-deprecating.If someone really heard what he said and rushed to get married, he would really be trying to gain fame, and he was extremely ashamed, so he packed up in a hurry, saluted, and went out of Beijing to go sightseeing.

Brother Liu felt a little regretful when he heard that, at first he wanted to find out whether Yang Shili had the intention to become an official, and if he could be of help, it would be just right to assign Daiyu to him.

Brother Liu and Daiyu are worthy of being enemies in previous lives. It is said that the one who understands you best is not your friend but your enemy. Even if you can't see them, there is a tacit understanding.Brother Liu is here thinking of pulling strings for Daiyu's matchmaker, and Daiyu is also smiling gently at a little girl.In this circle of gentle, courteous and frugal ladies, how difficult it is to find such a little girl, who just happens to be the one who paints the old cucumber with green paint!

The little girl's name is Wu Lin, she is the youngest daughter of General Zhengxi's family, and she has been living along the West Sea. So she asked Miss Song to take her with her.It just so happened that today Miss Du's post invited a group of little sisters to write poems and throw pots. Miss Song sent a letter to everyone in advance asking if they could bring more people. Everyone agreed, so they brought her here.

Miss Wu's father and her seven brothers are all martial artists. Fortunately, Mrs. Wu is a talented woman who is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she has raised her daughter well.However, as the first daughter of a Wufu family, no matter how well-bred she is, she will inevitably have some qualities that girls don't have.I didn't realize it when I first started composing poems, but when I threw the pot, everyone was dumbfounded.Originally, everyone was a gentleman, and the bottles used to throw the pots were not small in diameter, and the arrows were thrown in one by one.When it was her turn, Miss Wu thought it was troublesome, and she was spoiled so much that she didn't know how to show other people's face. She raised her hand and threw a lot of arrows into it. It's much easier to shoot rabbits."

Just now, the faces of the girls who voted for a long time and didn't vote in a few were a little ugly. Among them, the second girl Wang was the weakest. She waved a fan and said slowly, "Hey, Sister Wu even went out to shoot rabbits. It's really amazing!"

Wu Lin thought she was praising her, and said with a smile: "Not only rabbits, but also deer. It's a pity that I am weak, and I can't shoot the deer down when I shoot an arrow at the deer. Brothers have to make up for it. Actually, riding Archery on a horse is not very fun, the most fun is in winter, when it snows heavily, make a sled with a few wooden boards, and pull it with a big dog..." Balabala, after a while, the little girl Wulin was full of people A group of people exclaimed from time to time.

The most outrageous thing this group of girls in Beijing did was to play next to the temple for a while when they went to the temple with adults to burn incense. When they go out to play in spring, they are all in their own village. It’s not surprising that they have never seen what Wu Lin said. They made a fuss.

Miss Wang, who was shaking the fan next to her, was full of worry. Of course, Miss Song couldn't watch her little cousin offend someone when she went out on the first day, so she hurried over to talk.When Daiyu saw her, she also leaned over to help out from time to time.

Ms. Wang is not really a narrow-minded person, she started laughing and smiling again after a while.Miss Song jokingly said: "My little cousin was spoiled by my aunt, uncle, and other cousins, but she has no bad intentions. In the early days, there was Bamei Yang, and everyone in the family called her Bamei Wu. My uncle was the biggest when I was in Xihaiyanzi, and the rules there were not as strict as those in Beijing. Little girls and boys played together, and they all hugged her, but whoever refused to accept her was a little girl, and the fists of the seven cousins ​​took turns. In the end, I had to accept it. When I came here, my aunt told me that my little cousin doesn’t understand the rules in Beijing. If you offend someone, please let me help you explain it. Fortunately, it’s you, otherwise I don’t know It took me so much effort to trace it back."

Miss Song and Daiyu couldn't help laughing, knowing that she was wronged, and they didn't mean to belittle them.Miss Song was also narrow-minded, and said with a smile: "You don't know me yet, so you don't need to describe it. Afterwards, I have to ask Eighth Sister to offer me a cup of tea and apologize."

Daiyu laughed at her: "It's not easy to eat her tea. I just said that day that you won't be able to leave after a year or two. I don't think you need to find another house. If you eat her tea, you can be a member of her family." The eighth sister must have seven sisters-in-law, Sister Song, is there still room for Sister Wang?"

Miss Song leaned over and couldn't help laughing, she stretched out three fingers and said, "There are three more!"

Miss Wang was flushed with embarrassment, and when she stood up, she was about to tear their mouths apart, causing a commotion.

Daiyu thought in her heart, seven elder brothers who protect the weak, and a father who is a general, what a good marriage!It would be more perfect if he has a pungent temper.I made up my mind to inquire about General Wu's family when I go back. It's not a big deal anyway, it's just a thought.Daiyu believes that it may not be possible to be the master of the house, but it can still be done by adding a few words to the wife and master at the critical moment.
