Inside and outside the palace were kneeling, and the head of the Xuannu hung in the sky for a short time and then disappeared, Zhao Ji's heart warmed up, and he muttered to himself: "If you can sit and drink with the Xuannu, you will have no regrets in this life." ”

Wang Han immediately said, "Your Majesty is the Heavenly God, and when you return to Heaven in the future, you should meet with the Xuannu, don't be in a hurry at this time, as for Genyue, even if it is completed, the Xuannu will not go down to earth, and please make a judgment as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Ji didn't like it, his face was silent, and he left with his hands behind his back.

Seeing this, Lin Lingsu looked at Wang Han, full of helplessness, and said: "The official family has been confused and can't listen to the advice. ”

Wang Han nodded, and suddenly sighed, "It's good that Zeng Bu's class is here before, at least the official family will be jealous." ”

Lin Lingsu: "Yes, those people have been branded as Yuan You's traitorous party, and they will never come back." ”

Yuan Yu traitorous party?

Wang Han's mind moved, and he greeted Lin Lingsu, "Go to my house to eat and drink, and discuss something with you." ”

Back home, Wang Han went straight to Zhao Ruyan's room and asked her, "What will happen to the Great Song Dynasty this year, are there any natural disasters or anything like that?" ”

Although Zhao Ruyan was unhappy with Wang Han, he couldn't refuse, and replied: "In early April, a comet passed by, the Yellow River burst its embankment in May, and heavy snow fell in December, and countless cattle and sheep froze to death outside the plug. ”

"That's enough." Wang Han went out and said to Lin Lingsu, "Wait until there are broom stars in the sky at the beginning of April, and the Yellow River outside Kaifeng City bursts in May, and there are countless victims, you will report to the official family tomorrow, and then ......."

The two deliberated, and then separated.

But he said that that night, the family had a rich meal, Li Qingzhao and Cai Xiang were different from usual, and they felt weird, so Wang Han asked, is there something at home?

Li Qingzhao didn't say anything, Cai Xiang said that it was okay, and gave Wang Han vegetables and asked him to eat more.

Wang Han felt strange, but he didn't know where it was strange.

At night, when I was about to open another geometric function, the servant came to report, saying that Xu Ning was here, Wang Han was overjoyed, and asked people to invite him quickly, and called the maid to prepare wine and food, and wanted to have wine with Xu Ning.

Xu Ning entered, the two sat opposite each other, the maid served the wine and food, Wang Han's eyes glanced at the room, and he didn't see the red beans, so he said: "Call the red beans to come too, sing a few songs to help the fun." ”

The maid then said, "The red bean girl is gone." ”

Wang Han wondered, "Gone?" Where to go? ”

The maid replied: "I said that I had a good friend in the wine shop, and I didn't see her for many days, and I missed her very much, and I came to look for her today, so I followed." ”

Wang Han was stunned, but he didn't feel good in his heart. Ask yourself, when did red beans ever get along? When she was with herself, she was an innocent girl.

Xu Ning was here, so he didn't say much, he smiled and laughed, and drank with Xu Ning. After drinking a few glasses, Xu Ning sighed, and Wang Han asked why.

Xu Ning said: "It's my sister-in-law, her life is not good, she married into the Zhang family, the husband is a short-lived ghost, she died violently on the wedding night, causing my sister-in-law to be widowed, life is already difficult, and she has to be bullied by her mother-in-law. ”

After saying that, Wang Han's heart was in chaos, others didn't know, but he knew in his heart that Xu Yourong had fallen to this point because he had created it all by himself. felt guilty in his heart, and covered it up by drinking, all of which fell in Xu Ning's eyes.

Xu Ning said again: "I heard that you gave my uncle two gold bars in the past?" ”

Wang Han said yes.

Xu Ning smiled, "Why did you send him?" ”

Wang Han replied: "Xu Zhen helped me paint, and he had the grace of knowing me, so he sent gold to thank me." ”

Xu Ning smiled: "It's a bit precious, I heard Sister Yourong talk about it, she thought at that time that you were giving gold to give a dowry." ”

Wang Hanpi didn't smile, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, sighed, shook his head, and thought about it carefully, why did Xu Ning say these words in such a dignified manner? said: "Why don't you let the girl remarry?" ”

Xu Ning shook his head: "How easy is it, who wants a woman who has already been married once?" If you marry someone who is not as good as the Zhang family, won't the sister still have to suffer? Uncle is now old, and he doesn't think about it, he can be a concubine for others, so that his sister's life is comfortable, and he will be satisfied. ”

At this point in the dialogue, Wang Han understood that Xu Ning was here to deliver a message to him, and he knew that he liked Xu Yourong, so he suggested that Xu Yourong should be a concubine for him.

It's hard to say, and it's easy to say. Xu Yourong is now the Zhang family, and he has to listen to the opinions of the Zhang family. According to custom, Xu Yourong has to keep filial piety for her deceased husband for three years, but in actual implementation, keeping filial piety for three months can be expelled from the house and let him fend for himself. This is the practice of good people. If you encounter any vicious people, you will lock your daughter-in-law at home for the rest of your life, serve your in-laws to death, and stay alive and widowed for the rest of your life, with nothing to rely on.

Therefore, the crux of the problem lies in whether the Zhang family's in-laws are kind or vicious.

If someone like Xu Ning begged for it, it would definitely be difficult to speak, because his position was low and his words had no weight. But when someone like Wang Han comes forward, the Zhang family has to weigh it to see if he can afford to provoke him.

No matter how you say it, it is also Cai Jing's son-in-law, and he is still a former celebrity in the official family.

Xu Ning was able to come and tell Wang Han, but he still saw Wang Han's character, not to mention his wife and concubine in his family, even the maids were more nourishing than other people's families. The girl followed him, whether it was good or not, at least she didn't have to show up outside in the winter to find food.

Wang Han understood what Xu Ning meant, and only said, "I'll go see her another day." ”

At noon on the second day, Wang Han couldn't help but go to the East Gate to play, wanting to see what Xu Yourong's situation was. Sure enough, she was huddled in the root of the east gate wall, wearing coarse linen clothes, unkempt and plain face, crowded between charcoal and glutinous rice cakes, with many kites in front of her, shivering from the cold, her hands in her arms, and her feet kept stomping.

When I got closer, I saw that my face was stained with black ash, my hair was yellow, obviously lacking in nutrition, and there was a layer of black ash on my neck, and there were frost-cracked sores on my cheeks, which were smeared with yellow ointment.

This honor is very different from Xu Yourong in Wang Han's memory, and it is fundamentally like two people. Wang Han also thought that she would be bullied by hooligans if she was alone, but looking at her appearance, unless the hooligan was blind, she didn't want to give it to others for nothing.

It's all self-inflicted.

When he walked away, he didn't say much, took out two taels of silver and put them on the stall, and said, "I want all of these." ”

Xu Yourong was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly, "It's a lot, you don't need so much money." As he spoke, he put the kite away, raised his eyes and looked carefully, and the person was stunned, and called weakly: "It's General Zhao." ”

Wang Han's eyes blinked, "Sister Rong, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Xu Yourong lowered his head, bit his lip, packed up the kite, took it to Wang Han, and insisted: "General, wait a minute, I'll go change for you." ”

Wang Han waved his hand, "No, how much money is left, it will be a deposit, don't come here to sell your kite in the future, I want it all." ”

Xu Yourong didn't understand, "The general's family can use so many kites there?" ”

Wang Han laughed, "You don't understand, you don't do business." ”
