The people of the capital have recently had another lively affair, and it is still the liveliness of the high-ranking families that they look down on on weekdays -- the Jingguo Mansion and the Weiguo Mansion, which have always been high-minded, have been impeached and reprimanded, and now they are all closed, and even many powerful families in Beijing have followed suit, and the streets of the capital have disappeared for a while.

Wang Mian and Li Yi are not having a good time these days, because the impeachment and reprimand of Jing Guogong and Wei Guogong have a sentence "If the family is not strictly governed, there is no way to teach children". So the two grandfathers replied with a stomach full of resentment and anger, and they didn't need to ask more, the two of them were used to causing trouble outside, and they were beaten up first.

These two people are also unlucky, they were beaten by Wei Lai a few days ago, and they only managed to heal the wounds on their faces, and they were beaten by their own Lao Tzu again in a blink of an eye. This time, I didn't hurt my face again, but the beaten back was enough for them to lie on the bed for a month, and there was no chance to run out and make trouble again.

This whip went down, the Weiguo Mansion was fine, Li Yi was beaten, and he just lay on the bed obediently humming and chirping to recuperate, but the Jingguo Mansion was lively.

Wang Xiaoya didn't know why her eldest brother was beaten by her father at first, but when she heard the reason, she somehow thought of what the eldest brother said to bring trouble to the family when she was in Hongfeng Garden that day. As soon as she was in a hurry, she shouted about this matter in the mansion, and it didn't take long for the Jing Guogong Mansion to make an uproar, and at the same time, she finally let Jing Guogong know why she had been reprimanded.

Today's titles of Jing Guo Gong and Wei Guo Gong are hereditary, and they are the ancestors of the Wang family and the Li family in the early years when they followed Taizu to fight the world. It has been passed down to the present, and although the two mansions look glamorous on the surface, the internal decline is irreversible, and now the Duke of Jing and the Duke of Wei are only the names of the Duke of Guo.

Who is He Yu? The secretary in charge of the power! Who is Wei Yan? Marshal of the Dingbei Army in military power! These two people are both important figures in the court, no matter which one of them, even if they tie up the Jingguo Mansion and the Weiguo Mansion, they can't afford to offend. Therefore, when Jing Guogong learned the news, his first reaction was not to retaliate, but to hurry up and communicate with Wei Guogong, and then see how to come to the door to make amends.

It's a pity that Wang Xiaoya doesn't understand this, she is just a pampered Miss Guogongfu who grew up and doesn't know the taste of sorrow, and she has seen her own glamorous appearance since she was a child, but she doesn't know the crisis. So after seeing her father stunned and panicked when she learned the cause of the incident, she didn't realize the severity of the matter, but instead felt a kind of anger and incomprehension.

Jing Guogong naturally wouldn't explain this to his youngest daughter, and he was being overwhelmed by He Shangshu's revenge, so he didn't pay much attention to Wang Xiaoya's wrong look. So when he didn't know it, a rumor about He Zhi spread from the Jingguo Mansion again.

That day, Wang Xiaoya just went to see her brother Wang Mian, who was still lying on the bed and couldn't move, and when she was full of anger and sadness, she heard that her friend was visiting, so she couldn't help but complain to people and arranged a few sentences: "The sins suffered by my father and my brother are all caused by He Zhi!" An old girl in her twenties who can't get married follows a man to have a tryst in the Red Maple Garden, what good can it be? When we bumped into each other, we saw that the man surnamed Wei was disheveled, and who knows what they were doing before. In my opinion, it wasn't that my brother almost injured them when he shot arrows that day, but that they were broken by a good thing, and they came to our house in anger! ”

Wang Xiaoya is a brainless person, but her best friend is not. It's just that this time, somehow, I followed Wang Xiaoya's words, and the two got together, talking as if there was really such a thing, and they bumped into it.

Wang Xiaoya didn't like He Zhi in the first place, but she believed it herself. The two of them had a good time talking together that day, but then these words somehow got out. After just a few days, the private meeting between the eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion and the general of the Dingbei Army spread in the upper circles of Beijing, and finally almost reached the point of being known to everyone.

When Mrs. He heard these words, she only felt that her heart was blocked in one breath, and she almost fainted - her daughter's reputation was not very good, and if such gossip spread again, how could she marry in the future?!

Mama Zhang, who was following Mrs. He, was startled when she saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. He calm down, but was waved away by Mrs. He, who had already eased up. Mrs. He, who was angry, didn't say a word, and took Mama Zhang and the two little maids to kill He Zhi's Huayu Pavilion.

At that time, He Zhi was standing at the desk painting, and from a distance, he could see that the painting paper was fiery red. What she painted was the red maple she saw with Wei Lai in the Red Maple Garden that day.

When Mrs. He hurried over, she saw such a scene. In normal times, she would probably stand aside and admire her daughter's paintings, and praise a few words by the way. But now is different from the past, she just listened to the words of the arranger He Zhi and Wei Lai outside in the Red Maple Garden, and turned her head to see her daughter painting maple trees here, not to mention the taste in her heart.

The first gaffe snatched the brush from He Zhi's hand, and Mrs. He's face was full of hatred: "Zhi'er, I thought you were a measured person, why did you do such a foolish thing now?!" ”

He Zhi rarely goes out on weekdays, and she doesn't have much contact with the circle of elites, and she hasn't heard those gossips at this time, so she is still a little dazed for a while: "Mother, what's wrong?" ”

Mrs. He pointed to the maple tree in the painting and said, "Let me ask you, did you go to the Red Maple Garden with that Wei Lai a few days ago, and you also met the people from the Jingguo Mansion and the Weiguo Mansion?" ”

He Zhi really didn't say anything about this to Mrs. He, because Mrs. He was not optimistic about Wei Lai, so He Zhi mostly discussed things about Wei Lai with her father. However, at this time, listening to Mrs. He's mention, He Zhi also understood the key, she restrained her expression, and regained her former calmness: "Mother, it's just some gossip, why care." ”

He Zhi's intelligence, as a mother, Mrs. He naturally knew it, and she was not surprised to see her guess, but her indifferent attitude was really annoying: "You already knew that this would happen?!" Zhi'er, you are confused, do you know what is happening outside now? Your reputation...... How are you going to marry in the future?! ”

Seeing her mother's angry eyes, He Zhi could only soften her tone and stepped forward to comfort: "Mother, don't worry, let this matter take its course." My reputation is already like that, there is no such thing as this one, it is not bad, the people who should stay will not leave, and the people who will leave because of these few gossips, we can't keep it and don't have to stay. ”

He Zhi put on such a posture, and Mrs. He couldn't do anything about her. But in the end, it was her own daughter, and it was not difficult for Mrs. He to guess it with a little bit of caution, so she couldn't help but sigh and said, "Zhi'er, do you really like that Weilai?" ”

He Zhi just blinked when she heard this, she was not hypocritical, so she nodded affirmatively: "Yes, she is very good." ”

Mrs. He stared at He Zhi for a long time, and naturally saw her daughter's seriousness. Even if he didn't look down on those martial artists in his heart, he had to sigh and admit it at this moment: "Since that's the case, it's all up to you." I want to see, it's all rumored outside, so when will Wei Lai come to the door to propose. ”

Hearing her mother talk about the door-to-door proposal, He Zhi, who has always been down-to-earth and generous, finally couldn't help but blush her cheeks slightly. Her eyes drooped slightly, but her gaze fell on the fiery red picture scroll in front of her - she had already done everything she could, and then she could only see how Wei Lai chose, I just hoped that she wouldn't look at the wrong person.
