Lu Jing watched Baochai's figure go away, and sighed in his heart that it was really impermanent, and such a fragrant thing happened here with Baochai, and then looked at the winding road, and didn't know where to go, so he had to go to a place with light. After turning a few roads, she happened to meet a mandarin duck, so she asked her to take her out of the garden.

The mandarin duck knew that the old lady was in the garden to see Lu Jing, but she didn't expect that he was still in the garden, and she didn't ask much when she heard that he was going out.

Lu Jing walked out of the garden, returned to Rongxi Hall again, chatted with Jia Lian, and made up his mind that he would wait for another half an hour, and if Wang Ziteng couldn't come again, he would take Daiyu back to the house.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the prince arrived, and the entertainment was over, just at this moment the fireworks were set off in Jiafu, and everyone went to watch, so they sent someone to invite Lu Jing to a secluded place.

After Lu Jing saluted, he got straight to the point and said, "What is the important matter for Lord Wang to meet here?" ”

Wang Ziteng didn't talk nonsense, and said with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter, Huai Jin still remembers what the old man said before?" ”

Lu Jing nodded and said: "Naturally, I remember, but now I am already a frustrated person, I'm afraid it won't help Lord Wang much, and I will live up to my lord's good intentions!" ”

Wang Ziteng shook his head and said: "With the old man's understanding of the emperor, he just sees that you have been in the limelight too lately, and you are young, and you are famous in Shilin, and he wants to sharpen your heart, and I believe that it will not be long before he will re-important you." ”

Although Lu Jing also had this guess, he still refused in front of Wang Ziteng: "This is just an adult's guess, in case it sinks in the future, won't the adult's hard work be in vain!" ”

Wang Ziteng smiled and said: "It's okay, the old man believes that with your intelligence, you will not be silent, even if you are not an official, you will have something to do." ”

After finishing speaking, he said: "However, the old man believes in the previous judgment more, and the ministers use the power, and the weak ones use the technique." The next plot is to be skilled, and the poor are strong. The emperor is to oppress you with power, although he dismissed your errand in Xinuan Pavilion, but did not dismiss your official, nor did he drive you out of Beijing, but still gave you an errand to temper your temperament. ”

When Lu Jing heard this, he said thoughtfully: "In this way, the adult is acting with strength against the emperor. ”

Wang Ziteng corrected: "You are wrong, the old man is planning by skill, and the king of Beijing and the king of Nan'an are the ones who are planning by strength." ”

Lu Jing saw that Wang Ziteng separated himself from the king of Beijing and the king of Nan'an, and he had some doubts in his heart.

Wang Ziteng was worried that it would arouse suspicion for a long time, so he didn't wait for Lu Jing to speak again, so he continued: "The big gift I want to give you is a beauty!" ”

Lu Jing frowned when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Please forgive the juniors for being rude, I'm afraid that the juniors will not be blessed with this gift." ”

Wang Ziteng smiled and said, "Don't you ask who it is?" ”

Lu Jing was about to say that no matter who it was, he would not accept it, but suddenly thought of Xue Baochai, so he said tentatively: "The adult is talking about Miss Baochai?" ”

Wang Ziteng laughed and said, "What, you have a crush on the old man's niece?" ”

When Lu Jing heard him say this, he knew that it was not Baochai, so he did not answer.

Seeing that he was silent, Wang Ziteng continued: "Although my niece is prepared for the Jia family, if you haven't married a wife yet, the old man will facilitate your marriage with Baochai, but now, I want to give you another Xue family girl, no worse than my niece." ”

Lu Jing was surprised: "What the adults are talking about is the Baoqin girl in the second room of the Xue family?" ”

Wang Ziteng smiled and said, "Yes, this is this girl." ”

Lu Jing was even more puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "Didn't she already promise the Mei Hanlin family?" ”

Wang Ziteng said with a smile on his face: "That was before, some time ago, Mei Hanlin wanted to withdraw from his family, and the old man followed his wishes. ”

Lu Jing heard what he said, so he asked, "How did the adult withdraw from his family?" ”

Wang Ziteng pretended to be mysterious and said: "You will know in a few days, how about it, this great gift from the old man, Huai Jin is still satisfied?" ”

Lu Jing thought for a while and asked, "The adult wants to be a matchmaker for the younger generation?" ”

Wang Ziteng shook his head and said: "The old man will not interfere in this matter, how to promote this matter is up to you to solve it yourself." ”

Lu Jing thought about it, although he was a little moved, he still refused: "I already have a wife here, if Miss Nabaoqin is a concubine, I am afraid it will be an insult to her identity!" ”

Wang Ziteng smiled and said: "This doesn't matter, if it is my niece, the old man will naturally not let him be a concubine for you, but the second room of the Xue family is also suitable, not to mention that in a few days she will suffer from the divorce and bear the reputation of a Kefu." ”

When Lu Jing heard the word Kefu, he realized that the Mei family's son was probably dead, but he didn't know if it had anything to do with Wang Ziteng.

Wang Ziteng continued: "This gift was prepared for you by the old man, and you must accept it, so that the old man can feel at ease." ”

Lu Jing heard that there was a threat in his words, and he was secretly unhappy in his heart, and at the same time he didn't understand why he had to marry Baoqin himself, could he control himself through Baoqin, and saw that Wang Ziteng was staring at him, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he nodded and agreed temporarily.

Wang Ziteng saw that Lu Jing wanted to delay, so he said: "This matter will be completed within three months as soon as possible, and the old man hopes to be able to drink your wedding wine in March this year!" ”

Lu Jing shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work in three or four months!" ”

Wang Ziteng asked coldly, "Why is this?" ”

Lu Jing saw that he had been suppressed and threatened by him, and he wanted to confuse the public, so he said: "According to the news obtained by the younger generation, there will be a major event in the palace in March, and it is not appropriate to marry, and there will also be an accident in the Jia family in April, and these two months are unlucky." ”

Wang Ziteng said coldly: "Huai Jin, don't fool the old man with these nonsensical things. ”

Lu Jing smiled: "Since adults don't believe it, why don't we make a bet?" ”

Wang Ziteng shook his head and said: "The old man has no time to make this kind of bet with you, if it is really as you said in March and April, then it is up to you to decide when to get married!" ”

Lu Jing nodded and said, "Thank you, for the gift!" ”

Seeing that he accepted, Wang Ziteng nodded, explained a few more words, and left.

Lu Jing saw him leave, his face instantly sank, this feeling of being forced is really not very good, Wang Ziteng is giving a big gift, it is obviously to find trouble for himself, there is a problem, and he is constantly thinking about how to deal with it, and he can't refuse, how to plan Baoqin.

After thinking about it for a while, I thought of Baochai again, the matter has come to this point, and I can't let Baochai marry someone else, but compared with Baoqin, Baochai's affairs are more difficult to do.

After thinking about it for a long time to no avail, and seeing that the purpose of this trip had been accomplished, he said goodbye to Jia Zheng and asked people to inform Daiyu.

After Lin Daiyu left, she accompanied Jia's mother to listen to a few plays, and then went to visit Sister Feng.

When they arrived at Sister Feng's room, the two talked for a while, and Daiyu saw that she didn't look like she was seriously ill, so she smiled and didn't debunk her.

Wang Xifeng noticed that Daiyu's expression was different, so he asked, "What is my sister laughing at?" ”

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, nodded her forehead, and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng knew that she must have noticed something, so she asked, "Where did I show my flaws?" ”

Daiyu smiled: "Your voice and look are not right, you can only say that you pretend to be in vain, and you don't get its rhyme." ”

Wang Xifeng shook his head and smiled: "In the end, Sister Lin is careful and smart, others have come to see me so many times and haven't found out, you will notice it after a while." ”

Daiyu smiled: "I used to be sick a lot, so I naturally know what weakness looks like, you can't talk much, and if you talk too much, you will reveal flaws!" ”

Wang Xifeng understood when he heard this, because Daiyu was an outsider, and he lost his guard for a while, so he chatted with her a few more words, and then he revealed his stuff and asked with a smile: "You don't ask me why I pretend to be sick?" ”

Daiyu shook her head and said: "No matter what the reason is, can I still expose you, in short, it's all your house's business, and it has nothing to do with me, as long as I know that you are fine, why should I bother with that idleness." ”

Wang Xifeng nodded and took the initiative to explain: "I don't want to pretend to be sick, but I really can't help it, now there is no money in the public school, and the money in the family is also more out and less in, I have already put in a lot of dowry for the housekeeper, if I don't leave this errand again, my dowry will be able to be compensated." ”

Daiyu knew what she was saying when she heard this, so she asked, "Why don't you think of some frugal ways?" ”

Wang Xifeng shook his head and said: "Why haven't I thought about it, I have thought of many thrifty ways in the past few years, but it is useless, no matter how big or small things are in the house, it is still according to the rules of the ancestors, and now the industry entered this year is not as good as before, there are many thrifts, outsiders laugh at them, the old lady and wife are also wronged, and the family also complains that I am mean." This year is even more unsustainable, and no matter what I do now, I hold a candle to keep warm, and it doesn't help. ”

Lin Daiyu nodded and sighed: "That's true, the boat is small and easy to turn around, the ship is difficult to turn, Rongfu is such a big business, there are many rules, there are indeed a lot of difficulties, and you are not at home, there are old ladies, eldest wives, and second wives on it, it is even more difficult to do, even if you have a thousand good schemes, you can't do it." ”

When Wang Xifeng heard this, he couldn't help but say: "There are so many people, Sister Lin, you understand my difficulties, and now there is probably no one in this family who does not hate me behind my back, and I also rode to the tiger, and it is difficult to get down, so I can only use the method of illness." ”

Lin Daiyu nodded and persuaded: "Now that you are only the housekeeper of the second room, it is time to withdraw and regress earlier, you have a pair of eyes, a heart eye, even if you add Ping'er, it is only four eyes, two hearts, how can you see hundreds of people, if you are not caught off guard, you can catch someone's calculation." ”

Wang Xifeng felt that Daiyu had spoken to her heart, and couldn't help but open her heart and confide in her: "What my sister said is that those subordinates in the house are not ancestors who serve in the house, and they are not related to their relatives. ”

Daiyu also felt that Sister Feng was not easy when she heard it, so she hurriedly persuaded her to relax and rest for a while.

The two chatted a few more words, and Ping'er came in to report: "Outside, the aunt of the Lu family sent someone to spread the word to take Miss Lin back!" ”

Lin Daiyu listened, persuaded Sister Feng a few more words, then said goodbye to her, left Sister Feng's courtyard, and went to bid farewell to Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang and others, and then went out of Jia's house with Lu Jing.

On the way, Daiyu talked about Sister Feng's pretending to be sick, and Lu Jing couldn't help but feel that Wang Xifeng had changed a lot, she would rather die than let go before, but now she took the initiative to back down.

The two chatted all the way back to the mansion, Lu Jing went to take a bath first, and then handed over the changed clothes to Yinglian to deal with, and then recruited Lu Zheng and asked him to investigate the recent events in the second room of the Xue family.
