Chapter 883: Night Talk
"In my sister's life, what I value is not only feelings, but also virtuous ability, brother-in-law is excellent, he can be worthy of the lectures of the Hanlin Academy, and he can retreat from the siege of the northerners on Xueyang City, he must be a virtuous person, the ancient sage's theory of governing the world, he must have studied it thoroughly, in order to do this, right? Yuheng is an idle cloud and a wild crane-like temperament, hates the scriptures, and the most disgusting thing in his life is the Four Books and Five Classics, which is not willing to be motivated at all, and it is really not what my sister really wants. My sister sometimes thinks, if everything can be done from scratch, everything has a choice, my sister may simply go to fight for that Hou Ye, and at the same time fully support you to be with your second brother, in this way, I'm afraid that we can all agree with each other, you say, in this world, it should be harmonious and beautiful, smooth and slippery, why is it so wrong, making everyone unhappy?"
"Because, even if my sister loses her handkerchief to Brother Yinchen, Brother Yinchen won't take a fancy to you. Lin Xuanchen chuckled and said: "Sister, you actually don't understand Brother Yinchen at all, Brother Yinchen is more absolute than the second brother in terms of feelings, the second brother is considerate of the hardships of all women in the world, and Brother Yinchen, that is really everything that can indulge me, I got over there, I was afraid that any sages and sages would not be able to say anything at all, and if they did, they would be disgusted, if my sister went, could I hold back for three years without saying a word about the ancient sages?"
"Sister, you don't understand. No matter who my sister marries, she will be able to help her husband's family prosper in the future, which is my sister's self-confidence, and it is a woman's duty. ”
"Relying on the help of women to thrive, this is already an insult to Brother Yinchen's sister, you may only see Brother Yinchen's outstanding ability, you are expected to study the study of the world? You don't understand what he thinks at all, he is the kind of person who divides the inside and outside very clearly, when facing me, he will never allow the slightest ups and downs in the officialdom outside to be mentioned, when he is with me, only Panasonic plays, sweeping snow and cooking tea, and will never mention a word of hard work. When you get to him, it is estimated that you will be the same as Li Mengshi's sister again, becoming his assistant, not the person he really cares about. ”
"Aren't all men like that? Family business is fundamental. ”
But Brother Yinchen is definitely not like this, he and his second brother have the same thoughts, they want a real family, a person who is willing to give all their feelings for him, not a person who is very capable of sharing his worries. Brother Yinchen is actually the second brother, but he is very capable, if the two of them exchange identities and experiences, I am afraid that there is not much difference between them and no exchange. If my sister accompanies Brother Yinchen, the result is the same as that of accompanying the second brother, Brother Yinchen may be very painful and lonely, sister, with your temperament, you can't really understand Brother Yinchen, you can't even understand the second brother. You don't understand, although people have to grow up after all, but the original intention of childhood can't be thrown away, and the original intention can be obtained always. ”
"Yes, don't forget your original intention, you have to always. It's a pity that we women are born unable to control our own lives. Wang Yurou sighed softly, and then said: "I'm also very scared when I am young, I am very afraid that I will become a person like the eldest wife, for the sake of money, desperate, but if she is not for money, the hundred gardens will not be able to show, Concubine Jing will not be able to get real grace, and the palace is only afraid that even the daily operation is not very good, do you know, in order to send us these monthly examples, I heard that Mrs. Li and Aunt Ma are secretly lending money outside behind the back of the prince." Wang Yurou said, her voice was empty, not at all like her usual virtuous and elegant appearance, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, a model of a lady, and writing a poem can also allude to the great principles of the ancient sages, but really like a girl who is pregnant with spring and is full of worries about the future, but now Lin Xuanchen no longer dares to trust her, because the first few times she talked to her, she was targeted intentionally or unintentionally. Lin Xuanchen knows that this so-called sister is very good at finding the moral high ground, no matter what she says or does, she is always wrong, and she deviates from the so-called women's way, and she must rely on her snort to keep her reputation, just like just now, maybe she said that Brother Yinchen is Zhao Yuheng's substitute, and it will soon be passed on to Brother Yinchen, and it will become a gossip that is not good for her marriage, if Lin Xuanchen didn't believe that Yinchen would not care about other people's gossip at all, I was afraid that she might not dare to leave Wang Yurou for the night。
Today's Lin Xuanchen, facing Wang Yurou, really has invincible self-confidence. However, that is such invincible self-confidence, and when I heard Wang Yurou say about the loan, I also felt a slight chill in my heart. Money-lending, Lin Xuanchen instinctively felt that it was not a long-term solution, and she had also heard Lin Caiyi say that Yinchen did not even allow his subordinates to indulge in this way, and even the interest rate was very low, so she knew that it was not a decent livelihood, and this matter involved many elders in the palace and many servants and grandmothers with heads and faces, Lin Xuanchen himself refused to say a word, refused to take one more step, and had no opinions or comments on this, just lay silently, letting the atmosphere in the room be cold and silent.
Wang Yurou saw that she didn't answer, so she knew that she couldn't seduce anything when she said this, and she just expressed her thoughts about that Shenwu Hou, and she seduced her to actually come to the words of the second brother, and she was afraid that she would also have some hands on it in the future, and her mission of coming here in the middle of the night on the third watch was also completed, right? Wang Yurou didn't really come here because Zhao Yuheng was stunned, and she wanted to ask for a countermeasure, in fact, this was another wave of espionage and offensive from Mrs. Wang.
Yinchen's practice of offering three light vessels deeply hurt someone's self-esteem, and after a month's investigation, and Yinchen took the initiative to come up like hitting the muzzle of a gun this time, she couldn't know the real cause of death of the maid who died in the Mangzhong Festival. When Mrs. Wang was greedy for the Lin family's dowry, she was actually ready to let Lin Xuanchen be ruined or depressed and die, because she knew that no matter now or in the endless future, the Lin family's wealth of three million gold would be remembered, and the Lin family's blood relatives would find a way to ask for it back, and the Chongwang Mansion, whether it was now or in the endless future, it would be impossible to repay the money.
The ultimate solution to not paying the debt is actually to kill the creditor.
Lin Caiyi was expelled from the clan, plus they are Yin Shanluan's descendants, enemies of the imperial court, it is impossible to have the strength to ask for debts in the future, the only possible thing is Lin Xuanchen, once he marries into a wealthy family, everything is difficult to say, and Yinchen is the biggest wealthy family, so rich that the old lady can only stutter. Wang Yurou, who is Mrs. Wang's real confidant, naturally knows and tries to block such a marriage, but she is not as ruthless as Mrs. Wang, her idea is that she can make Lin Xuanchen change her mind and really want to make Zhao Yuheng small, so that in the future, the four of them (counting Liu Mengyi) can live in this garden with harmony, Wang Yurou is outside, controls the palace, and directs his subordinates to take care of housework, Lin Xuanchen is responsible for stabilizing Zhao Yuheng and not letting him make any contradictions, Liu Mengyi leads the maids and serves the three of them, this kind of life is exactly the same as the saying of the ancient sages and sages, one wife, one concubine and one servant, it should be the most harmonious and stable family in the world。 Wang Yurou stopped talking and began to think about how to make Lin Xuanchen change her mind and truly live according to a beautiful lady who guards women and knows how to reason.
She felt that she should bring Lin Xuanchen on the right path. "I'm afraid I listened to the "West Chamber" sung by the girl of the big drum book, and I changed my temperament a little, hey, don't talk about her, even I am a little affected, otherwise how can I give it like that in the East China Sea...... That's it, sure enough, the sages are right, these forbidden books are all things written by people with bad temperaments, bad names, and demons! No, when you go back, you must burn all these things!" Wang Yurou was thinking like this, when she suddenly heard a loud noise outside the door, as if something had fallen from a high place and crashed to the ground. Her eyes widened in surprise, and she reached for her shirt, but a brittle arm reached out next to her and held her down. "Sister better sleep, I'll talk about it tomorrow if I have something to say, don't get up now, it's cold outside." ”
After Lin Xuanchen said this, she closed her eyes and fell asleep obediently, Wang Yurou wanted to take a look at her through the light that might be outside, and see the cute appearance of this little beauty when she slept, but no matter how she opened her eyes, she couldn't see anything, and there was only pure darkness in the whole room.
She listened attentively, and a few thunderbolts roared down, and then went away, and the sound of raindrops hitting the green bamboo, ticking, small but pleasant, like some mysterious percussion instrument. Wang Yurou listened to the ticking sound, feeling that her soul had been washed and became clear and empty, and the voice on the bamboo leaves was like "Mountains and Flowing Water", as if "Guangling San", as if "Vomiting Blood", it was much better than the music of the troupe called by the old lady. Wang Yurou listened, and gradually became sleepy, she felt that lying here, listening to the sound of the rain, was really a very happy thing, and her body and mind were comfortable together. Her pair of water-cutting autumn pupils finally closed slowly and unwillingly, got together with Lin Xuanchen, and fell asleep sweetly.
In a daze, Wang Yurou heard a man's sharp scream. "Hurry back!". There seemed to be a flickering sword light and sword shadow in front of her eyes, as well as the cold expression of the silver-haired man, followed by Zhao Yuheng's crying face, the sky-high fire in the palace, and the treacherous black shadow in the bamboo forest, and finally it became a good time for the daily feast in the hundred gardens, and Mrs. Wang's really happy smile when she got her wish. Wang Yurou was in a daze, wanting to struggle up but unable to move, wanting to lie in the dream and feeling that she was being pushed by some force, in short, it was like being half asleep and half awake, so confused, and after a long time, she really snorted, felt that her hands and feet were back, and her head returned to its original position, and she really opened her eyes and found that the room was bright, and there was the sound of the maids getting up and walking around.
It's already dawn.
Wang Yurou turned over and saw Lin Xuanchen slowly open his eyes: "Ah! I haven't slept so comfortably in many years." Lin Xuanchen lightly lazy, turned his face and asked Wang Yurou: "How was last night?"
"It's a little weird, but it's not too much of a problem...... Wang Yurou sat up lightly and took a deep breath of the fresh morning air, but a smell of blood suddenly poured into her nostrils.
That bloody smell Wang Yurou will never forget for the rest of his life, it is the smell of the battlefield that he has often smelled in the secret realm of the East China Sea.
She stopped suddenly, and a slight transparent wind slowly emerged from her wrists, while Lin Xuanchen beside her just got up lazily, seemingly indifferent to this dangerous taste.
Not only was she indifferent, but even Enma Ai and Zijuan, who came in from outside to groom the two of them, were indifferent, Wang Yurou wanted to ask Lin Xuanchen if she smelled any weird smell, and she was afraid that she would be really worried, so she pressed her patience first and pretended to get up and freshen up. Wang Yurou brought the two maids to serve, and while she asked them to help her thin her shoulder-length hair, she looked at Lin Xuanchen's knee-length hair like a coat that took three people to do. Not to mention anything else, the brightness and texture of the hair made Wang Yurou jealous.
Wang Yurou looked at Lin Xuanchen's delicate face in a daze, and thousands of thoughts turned in her heart, and at this time she realized that between herself and this little weak girl, there were still many things to say, and there were still many things to say. They were supposed to be a pair of confidants, because they were the most beautiful and intelligent girls in the world, but she couldn't talk about it at this time, and she didn't even know if she would have a chance to talk about it in the future, because the position between her and Lin Xuanchen had already been demarcated by Mrs. Wang, and it was hostile, and there was a gap between the two of them that seemed to never be crossed.
For the first time, Wang Yurou felt that Mrs. Wang was so hateful, she didn't understand why Mrs. Wang did things so ruthlessly, what could Lin Xuanchen do in the world?
When they were grooming and dressing up, Wang Shan's family came again, of course, this time it should be under Juan'er's supervision.
[Twenty hours ago, outside the Chongwang Mansion]
A few days ago, I just married the Marquis of Shenwu, who is now being favored, and married the little sister of the Lin family, the "holy hand in the word" that makes countless romantic talents in Pershing think about it, and there is Concubine Jing's new favorite eunuch Hu Shide who led the holy decree and gave the unmarried girls who have heads up and down the palace forbidden goods. The people in Pershing City know that in these years, the various palaces are not rare for real money and silver, and the rare antiques are also piled up, and the secret wisdom pattern head flower in the palace, colorful silk clothes and other things are really precious things, which represent the attention and love of the queen mother and the emperor, just like the yellow coat of the slaves in Jianzhou, it is a thing with the imperial authority, so as soon as the news came out, there were many more people who came to visit and give gifts and climb friendships, it seems that many relatives fell from the sky and drilled out of the ground, I haven't heard of it, the boy who answered the door panicked, and quickly ran to call the little guy who passed the word, and asked the little guy to ask Mrs. Li。 At that time, the matter of the poetry club had just fallen, Zhao Yuheng just sent away the joke of going to Hongxiang Garden to find the maids, and he was not stunned, and Mrs. Wang didn't know what was going on, but she just heard Mrs. Feng come back and talk about it, and felt that it was good to run a poetry club, so that the girls in the garden could accumulate some talents, and their worth would naturally rise in the future, Although it is in conflict with the cynics who say that "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented", but that talent is not vented, I am afraid that I will be sick, and in the future, everyone will be as soft and weak as Miss Lin. Here, Mrs. Wang listened to the report of the eldest maid Qiaoyun, saying that the hall was full of huddles, and someone sent a whole box of silver and even a cart of brass ingots, some sent vegetables and fruits, some sent rare and fragrant pigs, and so on, and she was very happy and proud, and even praised Lin Xuanchen for marrying into the Shenwu Marquis Mansion with rare praise, so she ordered Qiaoyun to call Zhao Yuheng and let him meet the outsiders, only saying that he was not allowed to explicitly refuse outsiders, and he couldn't clearly agree. Zhao Yuheng originally hated these mundane affairs the most, after all, the reception at home was no better than being at ease in the Red Mansion Pavilion of Yincui Building, and he had to tighten his face and speak in the tone of the ancient sages (in fact, the ancient sages were not in this tone, they were cynics who came up with it and added it indiscriminately, Zhao Yuheng knew the hypocrisy of these cynics, so he hated it), and the mood of depression was becoming more and more important because he was separated from Sister Lin, but he was still a little rational and patient, and he was not in vain, and he was able to deal with it calmly. At this time, it was a tense moment before the palace examination, August 15 was the day of the big exam, the lord of Chongwang was the royal civil approving officer, he had no time to live in the palace, and the people in the house did not dare to invite him, so many people who were on the same level as the prince of Chong could only meet in front of juniors like Zhao Yuheng, say a few words of greetings, leave the financial gifts and leave, as for sending the female dependents to pull in the relationship, they were all ranked after the fifth day of the first month, and then the male guests dispersed, and then it was not Mrs. Wang's reception, it is estimated that it is not Aunt Ma, or a junior like Wang Yurou。
