Chapter 8: Family Affairs

After taking a sip of tea, Xi Jun went to the main courtyard of the Ling Mansion.

When she walked in the door, she saw that Ling Zhu was actually there. At this point, he should still be on an errand in the palace.

"Jun'er to Amma, please say hello to E-niang!" Xi Jun pressed the doubts in her heart, walked in, and hurriedly said goodbye to the two elders who were sitting in the hall.

"Jun'er, come to Eniang's side!" Ilgen beckoned to Xi Jun.

Xi Jun hurriedly got up, walked to Ilgen's side, and sat down next to her. Although they have only been together for more than a month, Xijun really likes this pair of "Ama and Eniang".

"Jun'er, why don't you ask Ama why she is here at this time?" Ling Zhu touched his goatee and said.

"Amma will definitely say that her daughter just needs to listen." Xi Jun leaned her head on Ilgen's shoulder and said to Ling Zhu with a smile.

"Well, Amma does have something to say to you." Ling Zhu nodded appreciatively, this eldest daughter has been smart and clever since she was a child, and her temperament is also very good, which is quite liked and loved by him.

"Master, is there really no other way to do this? The concubine is really reluctant! Ilgen's eyes suddenly turned red, and he hugged Xijun in his arms and said.

"Hey, the emperor specially asked me to say it today. Madam, even if she doesn't marry Sibeile, Na Jun'er will participate in the draft next year. With her appearance and temperament, it is very likely that she will leave a brand. That's not as good as the current road. Although the emperor is sage, he is no better than a young man in the end, and our Jun'er's fate may be like this. Ling Zhu sighed.

Xi Jun listened to Ling Zhu and Ilgen's words, and she had already guessed in her heart.

Do you really want to be pointed out to the legendary black-bellied and cold-blooded fourth elder brother?

Ilgen tore off the handkerchief on his chest and wiped away tears.

"Jun'er, today the emperor specially told Ama that he would point you to the fourth elder brother of the current dynasty as Gege!" Ling Zhu said to Xi Jun.

He was also a little reluctant to give up his daughter, but he was much calmer than Ilgen.

He also sees Xijun's future very clearly: even if he doesn't make a concubine for the fourth master, he may want to be a concubine for the emperor.

"Amma, why did the emperor suddenly make this request to Amma? Isn't it yet to be drafted? Xi Jun asked. Although she was also a little afraid and resistant, she was also curious about why Kangxi suddenly chose herself, it should be said that she chose the original body.

Ling Zhu's eyes were a little unbearable, he didn't expect his daughter to be so smart, and immediately pointed out the cruel reality that he didn't want to say.

"Amma, there's a reason, right?" Xi Jun caught the pain that flashed in Ling Zhu's eyes just now and asked.

"Jun'er, the emperor suddenly pointed you out to Sibeiler, in fact, it was actually to give his eldest brother joy! I heard that the eldest brother of Sibeile was seriously ill and urgently needed a happy event to rush away, so the emperor wanted to point Sibeile to the past. Our Niu Colu family has been favored by the emperor until now. Now that the emperor has opened his mouth, Ama can't refuse at all. Ling Zhu endured the pain and made his debut.

Xi Jun knew that Ling Zhu was right, the emperor had opened his mouth to ask her, that was an ironclad matter, and he was not allowed to shirk it at all.

It's just that hearing such a reason, Xijun was a little speechless, a little helpless, and a little resentful.

In ancient times, human rights were a fantasy. As the saying goes, the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die!

"Jun'er, what should I do, E-Niang feels uncomfortable when she thinks of you marrying like this!" Ilgen cried again.

Xijun let her hold her and cry, but she couldn't cry herself.

Although she was not willing to marry the fourth Belle who did not have a good reputation, as a crossing king, she still had the ability to bear it.

That is, if you can't change anything, then lie in place and live the current life first.

"Eniang, since the death of Queen Niu Hulu, Concubine Wen Xi has also died, and the Niu Hulu family has been declining day by day. Now, her daughter was chosen by the emperor and married to Sibeile as Gege, presumably because the emperor valued Niu Hulu's family. Since this is an inescapable fate, Jun'er will accept it calmly. Xijun Zhengse said, "Don't complain about Amma, he has always loved his daughter, but the emperor's order is difficult to do." ”

Ling Zhu listened to Xi Jun's words, and was so excited that there were tears in his eyes.

"Jun'er, you, what a surprise to Amma. I thought you were just smart, but I didn't expect you to make such a statement of righteousness, not inferior to men. If you are a man, you must be a good boy of my Niu Hulu clan. Ling Zhu praised it.

Xi Jun just didn't have anything to persuade the Ilgen clan just now, so he took out a little historical common sense and said something, but he didn't expect to be in Ling Zhu's arms.

"Master, don't say anything about the concubine. only said that Jun'er entered the Four Baylor Mansion, how to live. She grew up with us, and now when she goes to Houmen, she is as deep as the sea, and the concubine is worried that she will suffer losses and be hated. When the time comes, we won't be able to reach the whip. Ilgen put his arm around Xijun and said.

"Jun'er is very smart, don't underestimate her. She can handle it. Ling Zhu said.

Xi Jun asked herself, can she cope with those days of blades and swords in the fourth master's back house?

That room, the Chen family next door to the Ling Mansion.

Chen Rongyuan was talking to his father, Chen Baiqi, about his family affairs.

"Rong Yuan, why do you suddenly want to get married?" Chen Baiqi sat in the middle of the hall and looked at his talented youngest son.

I saw that he was about forty years old, but his hair and beard were already white, and the wind and frost on his face had already exceeded what he should have at his age.

"Dad, the so-called male should get married. The son figured it out, so he wanted to start a family. Chen Rongyuan lowered his head and reported.

"Well, you can figure it out, that's good. Dad has always wanted to find a wife for you, but you have always refused. Now that you've thought about it, your father will ask someone to show you a good girl. Chen Baiqi touched his beard and nodded.

"Daddy, the child already has a girl he likes. The child wants his father to propose! Chen Rongyuan said, and his mind began to remember the appearance of the woman he saw by the wall.

"Oh? Who's the girl? Chen Baiqi hurriedly asked.

"It's Niu Colu Xijun who lives in the Ling family next door to us." Chen Rongyuan said without thinking.

It turned out that he took a stone to investigate, but in an hour, Xi Jun's identity and name were inquired clearly.

Chen Baiqi looked at his youngest son in surprise, but his face turned embarrassed, and said, "Rong Yuan, how can you look down on his family's concubine?" They Niu Hulu family are all over the government and the opposition, we, our Chen family is the banner of the Han army, but I am afraid that we will not be able to climb high. ”
