Chapter 149: The Wang Family
Lin Zhixuan and Sister Xin'er Qiuju Dongmei sat in the carriage, and they didn't know what they were doing outside, but since they entered Wenchang Lane, they began to stop and go, and they walked for nearly a stick of incense.
During this period, I only listened to the voices of greeting everywhere, at first it was Wang Fuquan's, and then when I came to the door of the second gate, Lin Zhixuan heard Mrs. Wang's voice, thinking that she had gotten out of the carriage.
Qiu Ju asked, "Girl, have you arrived?"
Before Lin Zhixuan could answer, she heard Mrs. Wang's voice and asked Lin Zhixuan and Lin Yaxuan to hurry down to greet her.
The purple kite and the green bird came one after the other, and the two carriages behind them asked for help.
Qiu Ju and Dong Mei had already heard it, Dong Mei hurriedly lifted the curtain and went down, Purple Kite had already placed a footstool, Dong Mei and Purple Kite stepped forward and carried Lin Zhixuan out of the carriage, and Qiu Ju came down with Sister Xin in her arms.
Lin Zhixuan saw that sure enough, the carriage stopped in front of the second gate, and Mrs. Wang was greeting a lady who came out very warmly.
The lady also seemed to be in her early forties, wearing a lake blue satin knitted floral placket, a purple silk and emerald skirt, combing a bun, although there were some traces of time on her face, but she was well maintained, with a round face and a solemn countenance, but now looking at Mrs. Wang, the two of them had tears in their eyes.
Lin Zhixuan thought, this lady is afraid that she is the person her mother said she wants to see at home.
Lin Zhixuan and Lin Yaxuan, Chang Yuan's family and grandma-in-law Gu's mother, who followed the car, all got out of the car and came over, and Chang Yuan's family hugged Sister Xin from Qiu Ju's hand and stepped forward to salute together.
Mrs. Wang first introduced Lin Zhixuan and Lin Yaxuan to the wife. asked Lin Zhixuan and Lin Yaxuan to call "second aunt".
Lin Zhixuan and Lin Ruoxuan stepped forward to salute when they listened.
I knew that this was Mrs. Wang's second sister, the second daughter of the fourth room of the Wang family, and her husband Jiang Zhiqing was now tired of being the governor of Fujian. It is a feudal official from a product.
Lin Zhixuan secretly sighed that she could see such a character in the Jinling royal family.
Mrs. Jiang praised Lin Zhixuan and Lin Yaxuan for a long time, and said to Mrs. Wang: "When our sisters separated, you were also so old, and now your daughters are so old. ”
Mrs. Wang also smiled, and Mrs. Jiang said, "Don't stand at the door, let's go in quickly." You guys are really late, Su Zhen and her eldest brother-in-law's family have been here for three or five days, Gui Zhen. Rong Zhen has been here for a long time, only you and Bao Zhen are the youngest, and they are the latest. ”
Mrs. Wang went in hand with Mrs. Jiang and asked, "Baozhen hasn't come back yet?"
Mrs. Jiang said, "Yes." Su Zhen, Gui Zhen, and Rong Zhen all came with their children by themselves. Although the eldest brother-in-law is also coming, he has to wait for the birthday banquet to come by himself, they are more away, the third brother-in-law, the fourth brother-in-law is the same as your master, they can't come, Baozhen and the sixth brother-in-law want to come together, so it is delayed. The sixth brother-in-law can't take many days off, and I'm afraid that he will have to wait for the birthday banquet to come. I can't stay for a few days. ”
Lin Zhixuan and Lin Yaxuan followed behind and listened, and they didn't dare to say much, but they just looked at the Wang family's mansion and it was not as exquisite as the Lin family, after all, it was still too crowded, and there were not many spacious yards, and there were newly built houses crowded between the old houses and the old houses, and I thought it was because there were too many people.
But the maids and women who come and go here wear red and green, and at first glance they are not all from the Wang family, just looking at the dress of these maids, you can also see that they are three, six, nine and so on.
Mrs. Jiang was still talking to Mrs. Wang: "The eldest brother and the second brother have not been able to come back, and the two of them are now busy with military affairs in the South China Sea, and the other is still fighting in Tibet, so they can't come back, but the two younger brothers and sisters have come back early, and they are the earliest." ”
Lin Zhixuan listened to Mrs. Wang's sisters, and sighed, although the layout of the courtyard of the Jinling royal family is not as neat as the Lin family, but the Jinling royal family is a clan for hundreds of years, even if the country changes hands and the dynasty changes, it has never shaken this deep-rooted clan.
But in her previous life, Lin Zhixuan did not have contact with too many people in the Wang family, and Wang Jingsheng was the only one who had dealings.
However, the Wang family is not only famous for Wang Jingsheng, but also for the uncles and uncles of the fourth room, and the Jinling Wang family has been spreading its branches in the south of the Yangtze River, like a towering giant tree, deeply rooted in the south, dominant.
Wang Jingsheng was the first person in the Wang family to go to the capital, and he has been smooth sailing and rising steadily over the years, relying on a huge and solid family power behind him.
Wang Jingsheng originally started from Hangzhou, and the old lady and ancestor who wanted to come to the big house also wanted him to stay in Jiangnan, but Lin Zhixuan's uncle had a higher heart than the sky, and he was unwilling to stay in the Jiangnan area, not only to rely on the family, but now he has become another dependence of the family.
The in-laws, old friends, and protégés of the Wang family are intertwined, and they affect the whole body.
In the previous life, it was the end, the little emperor destroyed the nine groups of the Lin family, but he didn't dare to touch the Wang family, a big family like the Wang family, the power infiltrated hundreds of civil and military officials, and even the emperor's relatives and nobles, in all aspects, often killed a person, offended a large group of people, destroyed a family, offended the entire Jiangnan, this kind of thing is that the emperor also has to have scruples.
Lin Zhixuan sighed, if her mother can be friendly with Jinling, so that her father can get the support of the Wang family, and it would be good to have more contacts.
However, the relationship behind the Lin family made Lin Zhixuan instinctively not want the Lin family to have anything to do with the family of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, after all, Mrs. Wang is just a concubine in the fourth room of the Wang family, so where can she be sheltered?
If the emperor is ruthless and wants to kill, regardless of the fact that he wants to destroy it, who can stop him. How could the Mu family in the capital not be another royal family in the north? But in his previous life, Xie Wenjia didn't say that he would kill and die, and that he would be destroyed. But it was precisely because she destroyed the Mu family and invisibly offended a group of courtiers that the little emperor succeeded in seizing power!
And what about the little emperor Wei Yanxian? The Wei Yanxian who destroyed the Hou Mansion, Lin Zhixuan didn't know what his ending was, when the clan destroyed the Hou Mansion, he was only in his twenties, but he was vicious, ruthless, impulsive and irritable, stubborn, and there was no one around him who could persuade and educate, what kind of things would he do in the future, and what kind of outcome would he have, Lin Zhixuan didn't want to think about it, and she didn't want to think about it anymore.
Looking at this qiē in front of her, Lin Zhixuan actually remembered the scene of the banquet at the house of the prince and general in the capital, and only remembered that Yan Yan was greedy for wine and joy, and then the booming building collapsed, Lin Zhixuan was too busy to take care of herself, and she didn't even have the opportunity to mourn.
Lin Yaxuan, who was walking with Lin Zhixuan, didn't know that Lin Zhixuan was sad in her heart, she just looked at the bustling scene everywhere in front of her, she was very happy, she had never seen so many dignitaries and dignitaries from the northwest to the south of the Yangtze River, how could she have seen such a formation.
I only excitedly followed Mrs. Jiang and her party into the four-room five-entry house, passed through three doors, entered the main hall, and sure enough, I saw the old lady in the fourth room sitting in the main hall talking to the wives, grandmothers, girls and ladies of each family, so lively.
