In the cold winter, the north wind is cold. "Words * love * first * hair

The wind is sharper than a knife, as if it wants to scrape off a layer of skin.

However, no matter how cold it is and how strong the wind is, it can't extinguish or extinguish the fire of gossip burning in the hearts of the people of Qinghe County. The focus of people's talk is still the red family.

In the past 100 years, the dominant family in Qinghe County, in addition to the red family, is still the red family, and in the end it is still the red family.

In terms of wealth, this red family is no match for the Su family, which owns nearly one-third of the shops in Qinghe County, and the Yu family, the largest landlord in Qinghe County.

In terms of potential, how can it be better than a Zhang family where both father and son are Jinshi?

But, why can't these three compete with the Red Family?

Gain,

Beauty!!!

In this world, perhaps wealth can be desirable and awe-inspiring, but how can people who are crazy and obsessed with beauty be able to match the peerless demeanor of beauty?

This red family, I don't know what kind of incense is burned, and it has been beautiful from generation to generation.

Especially this generation, it is the beauty of the beauties.

The eldest lady of the Hong family, although she lives in Qinghe County, her reputation has spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, and she was known as one of the four beauties in the south of the Yangtze River. After twelve, countless families came to ask for marriage.

Qinghe County will not talk about it, Jiangnan will not say it, even the wealthy people who are far away in the northern border pass have also brought heavy gifts to beg, in those years, the threshold of the red family has been trampled by the matchmaker, and it has been changed several pieces.

In the end, the eldest lady promised the king of Runan in the capital as a step-room, and the Hong family calmed down.

After the eldest lady, now there is a seventh lady, and everyone who has seen it says that her appearance is better than that of the eldest lady back then, and there are poems:

More than thirteen years old, cardamom tips in early February.

Spring breeze ten miles of Yangzhou Road, roll up the bead curtain is not as good.

In the tavern, it was about this rare beauty, Miss Hongqi.

"Did you hear that? The seventh lady of the red family is crazy!! ”

As soon as these words came out, a stone suddenly stirred up a thousand waves, and the tavern exploded all of a sudden.

"Liar, huh? How can it be? So a smart and clever beauty, good and dignified, how can you say that you are crazy when you are crazy? Impossible, impossible. ”

"You guy, how dare you make a rumor about Miss Red Seven? Do you want to die? ”

"Kill this stinky bastard!"

The crowd was surging and all of them were angry.

Red Qi, not only the red Qi of the Hong family, but also the bright moonlight on the heads of all married and unmarried men in Qinghe County, and the cinnabar mole in the heart, how can people be offended?

Several young men rolled up their sleeves, and with their bare arms about to step forward to teach this guy who dared to talk nonsense.

"Lie to you, I'm this!" The person who spoke widened his eyes and raised his little finger: "Let me tell you, the youngest daughter of my cousin's aunt's eldest sister-in-law is working in the Hong family, and everyone in the Hong family knows about this matter." Otherwise, I dare to say that no one is it, and I dare not say that Miss Hong Qi is not! ”

"So, is that true?"

"Of course it's true. I heard that I somehow fell and woke up no one recognized me, and besides, I talked nonsense, and behaved like a five-year-old child. It's really jealous, such a beauty, she has become a fool, it's really pitiful and lamentable! ”

"Really crazy?"

"Really."

"Really, really crazy?"

"Really."

"Really, really really crazy?"

"Really."

……

It was confirmed again and again that the speaker even swore by his ancestors, and in the end, people had to believe this cruel truth. After that, in the tavern, there was a cry and the sound of buying wine.

On this night alone, a month's worth of it was sold.

But even the shopkeeper, the vat of wine went out, but it was not a taste in his heart.

When there is no daughter of the Hong family, when I go outside, people only know Suzhou and Hangzhou when they talk about Jiangnan. Qinghe County? Who knows which corner of the place? But now, when it comes to Qinghe County, who doesn't know that it is a magical place with beautiful mountains and rivers, these years, people say that "Qinghe's daughter is not worried about marrying", and the nearby prefectures and counties are proud to marry Qinghe's daughter.

Now, this symbol beauty of Qinghe is crazy and stupid.

God is unfair!

"Today's wine, little old man, I'm invited!"

The aroma of wine is overflowing, and this night, there are countless drunk men.

In the fog, some people talked worriedly.

"Then, Miss Hongqi's marriage won't change, right?"

This is a good thing that was spread a few days ago.

Just some time ago, the Zhou family in Jiangnan sent a matchmaker to propose to Miss Hongqi for the third son of his family!

The Zhou family is not only a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, but also a family of eunuchs in the world, which stretches for five or six hundred years, and has not fallen through several dynasties, and there are countless famous ministers and officials. Even in this dynasty, there have been six emperors, three first assistants, Shangshu, Shilang or something, needless to say, the real family of poetry and hairpins, and the home of Zhong Ming Dingshi.

This Wednesday's son is even more handsome, with graceful manners, and is famous in Jiangnan, and he is a good husband in the hearts of countless boudoir girls, and a good son-in-law in the hearts of many parents.

It is said that such a good son-in-law who rides the dragon will not be able to take the turn of the red family.

After all, although the Hong family is a big local family in Qinghe County, it is just a wealthy landlord, and there have been a few people and talents, and they can barely be said to be a poet and book. Although there is a daughter who is married to the king of Runan, although the water spilled by the married daughter can be stained with some glory, in the end, the wealth of the sky does not belong to the Hong family.

Compared with the two, it is like heaven and earth.

Especially on Wednesday, Gongzi is still the grandson of the Zhou family, and he wants to inherit the family business. It is said that she should marry a girl who is the right person, at least she is the concubine in the same name as the Zhou family, "Wang Gu Lin Xie, Zhou Ye Lu Jia".

It's just that the third son of the Zhou family made a grand wish when he was over fifteen years old, and he would not marry a truly stunning talent. He has outstanding character and is very loved by the elders in the family, so he is unwilling to wronged him.

If you want to be a beautiful woman, it is easy to find, if you add that you have to be a talented woman, and your background is not too bad, at least it is a scholarly daughter, these conditions add up, it is not so easy to find.

This stumble has gone for seven years.

Seeing that the sons were twenty-two on Wednesday, the other sons were running all over the ground at this time, and he was still alone. He is not in a hurry, he is very happy every day, but he can make the old lady and wife of the Zhou family sad.

Thanks to the reputation of the eldest lady of the Hong family back then, no, as soon as she learned about the seventh girl of the red family, the Zhou family hurriedly rushed to the matchmaker to propose marriage. can climb a family like Zhou Fu, the Hong family can't ask for it. The two can be said to hit it off.

No, I heard that they have exchanged Geng posts, and I'm ready to make a decision.

Seeing that it is another piece of talent and beauty, a good story of gold and jade.

At this time, Miss Hong Qi went crazy.

Now, how should it end?

Although it has not been decided, both sides have already made up their minds verbally, if the Zhou family repents, it will inevitably be said and untrustworthy, which will damage the reputation of the century-old family and the poetry heirloom.

But if you continue this marriage, I have never heard that Wang Ba looks at mung beans, and a talented man is matched with a beautiful woman, when have you ever seen a fool marry a talented man?

The family's reputation is there, but that Wednesday son, I'm afraid he will inevitably be laughed at all his life.

This thing, hanging, hanging!

Even the people outside were this idleness, and the masters in the Red Mansion were even more struck by lightning by this sudden change, and they became a mess. The joy of the previous period turned into a panic and panic.

The eldest wife, the second wife, the third wife, and the fourth wife of the Red Mansion all gathered in the old lady's courtyard at this time, all sighing and sighing, thinking about it, and fidgeting.

The eldest lady said worriedly, "What can I do about this?" I heard that the people sent by the Zhou family have arrived in the county, so it can't be that they have already heard about the seventh sister, right? ”

The second wife complained: "I said at the beginning, although this is a great joy, but before making a decision, it is better to restrain people and not show the news." You don't listen to me, and there are ups and downs, what should I do now? The whole county is going to see the jokes of our red family. ”

The third wife's phoenix eyes were raised, and she said unhappily: "I'm not still for the reputation of our red family. In the autumn township test, none of our family won the exam, but the Su family, the Yu family, and the Zhang family all won the test. A few days ago, the young lady of the Su family and the lady of the Su family invited the wife of the Yu family to insert the hairpin, and the fifth lady of the Zhang family was the praiser, and our red family has no fart. Isn't this contempt for our red family? If it weren't for the news that I had come to the Zhou family to propose marriage, I am afraid that the people in Qinghe County would not know that our Hongfu is the green onion and the garlic. ”

As soon as these words came out, the second wife's face was hot, not very good-looking.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth masters who participated in the township test this time were all her sons, but they all fell behind, and none of them were successful.

The fourth wife took the handkerchief at this time and cried: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault that I didn't take a good look at the seventh sister, which caused her to suffer this disaster and affected everyone." If you want to blame me, blame me. ”

The second wife hurriedly comforted: "How is this your fault? We all know your troubles. ”

The eldest lady and the third wife also comforted each other. Although the fourth wife is Hong Qi's mother, she is only a stepmother, although she is dedicated to Hong Qi, Hong Qi has not been close to her since she was a child. The relationship between mother and daughter is extremely cold.

If this happens, where is it to blame on her head?

At this time, a girl said, "The old lady is here." ”

The four of them hurriedly stood up, held their breath, and greeted the old lady.

The door curtain embroidered with begonia flowers slowly lifted, and the old lady Wu walked in with the help of two beautiful big girls, Cedar and Crane. She was over fifty years old, but her complexion was very ruddy, her hair was black, not a single white thread, she looked like she was forty, and she did not look like a person in her fifties at all.

She is not dressed like an old lady from a rich family, she has no silk and satin, she is simply dressed in a silk dress, which is very simple.

The old lady sat in her seat, her face still tired of the journey.

She went to the temple for several months to practice penance, and only returned home today. The matter was serious, so she simply freshened up, and didn't even bother to drink tea, so she came to see a few wives first.
