It's another year, the spring breeze is green on the shore of Taihu Lake, and the maple frost is getting lighter and redder.

When the boat reached the shore, there was a slight pause, and the white-clothed Langjun stood on the deck, it was Wang Qilang Ningzhi, he looked around with his hands, and his eyebrows were lightly locked, this expression was indeed not as pleasant as watching the beautiful scenery. was in a trance, but his shoulder was hit, Wang Ningzhi turned around and saw his friend He Zhan's eyebrows dancing.

"Qilang, this time I will say goodbye to Jiangnan, I don't know when I will have a chance to return, while I am supplied, I want to go ashore for a walk, so as to teach the little ladies in Suzhou Mansion to finally pay tribute to Lang Jun and my Zhilan style, how about it, you are willing to accompany you?"

Wang Ningzhi really didn't have this interest, and pushed the complacent He Zhan: "Go early and return early, don't miss the trip, this time it's not that you and I can arbitrarily delay returning to Beijing, I still have my family and daughters to accompany me." ”

He Zhan obviously expected it, and without saying much, he patted his friend on the shoulder, turned around and walked towards the pontoon, leaving a dignified back.

Vaguely, there seemed to be a woman's praise on the embankment, Wang Ning looked at it, but saw that his friend had already stepped on the saddle and got on the horse, and seemed to be quite interested in waving his arms at the little ladies who were peeping in the embankment wine shop, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head, but when he didn't retract his gaze, he heard a domineering female voice, scolding the servant.

"I said that I am less accustomed to gouache, and I want you to buy it, but you dare to refute it, can a slave still know the difference between respect and inferiority? Although the little lady is young, I am still her mother-in-law, and I know how to take care of myself, so I can't do without you. ”

Wang Qilang's cabin was located at the stern of the ship, and the woman with her hands crossed was in the bow of another ship connected to it, so that he could not only hear the woman's words, but also see the woman's description.

He was about in his early twenties, with fair complexion, gorgeous makeup, and a slight tremor in his waist, as if he felt peeping, and the autumn wave was slanted, and the corners of his lips immediately had a smile of infinite charm.

Wang Qilang coughed and retracted his gaze, feeling indescribably anxious.

This time accompanied the mother and sisters back to Chang'an, because the father got the vacancy of the ministry, but when he set off, he also returned to Beijing because of the Liu's female dependents who were also the ten families of Jingzhao, and the head of the family was originally the county commander under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan Province, but he returned to Beijing to report on his work for more than a year, and he was only recently determined, the Liu family in Jiangnan is not only only a female dependent, and even the main mother has already returned to Beijing, this time the only concubine with two concubines, although there are servant women and servants, in the end there is no head of the family to accompany the man, but also happened to meet the Wang family to return to Beijing, only to accompany the companion.

Wang Qilang guessed that this very arrogant and frivolous woman should be the concubine of the Liu family, so he was very uncomfortable.

Because the Wang family and the Liu family have been married, and this "bond" is himself.

Unexpectedly, he was "molested" by the concubine of his future wife and uncle, and he was never a better person than Fengyue, but he can be regarded as an "old-fashioned" faction among the scholars of the wang clan, and it is inevitable that he will be a little unbearable.

I was thinking about simply entering the cabin to avoid more embarrassment, so I took two steps and listened to another shout!

"Dog slave maid, let you go to make tea because you can afford you, dare to hesitate, I will whip you carefully." The voice is even higher.

Wang Qilang frowned, resolutely pushed the door in, and closed it with a "bang".

He fell down on the couch, closed his eyes and recuperated, and only then did he feel a little dazed, and he heard an exclamation: "The little lady has fallen into the water!" ”

Wang Qilang thought of the two girls beside the woman just now, and he was immediately anxious.

Anyway, the Liu family returned to Beijing with his Wang family, and then the concubine, and the lady of the wang family, if there was really an accident, it was not easy to explain, so he grabbed a carp and grabbed it, only to see the woman holding a girl, looking at the river with her eyes, and the two maids who heard the sound were so anxious that they cried.

Because the boat stopped here for supplies, most of the male servants went ashore to shop, and for a while, no one entered the water in time to rescue the girl.

Wang Qilang didn't have time to think about it, and a fierce man plunged in!

So there was a series of exclamations on the boat, and finally a noblewoman in gorgeous clothes hurriedly got out of the cabin, watching her son take a deep breath and dive into the river again, so anxious that she shouted: "Don't let the servant go into the water to save people, I am stunned what to do." ”

Fortunately, this section of water is not turbulent, Wang Qilang dived for a while, and saw that the girl was struggling not far away, he accelerated and swam over, put one arm around the girl's neck, and the other hand floated up.

Fortunately, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty are open, and it is not strictly forbidden for men and women to give or accept kisses, and the physical contact of the last resort will not cause "death without marriage", and the girl is really young, Wang Qilang will naturally not be bound by the etiquette, and only wants to save people.

Eventually, the girl began to cough up water and mutter.

happened to be heard by Wang Qilang clearly, and the whole person was stunned on the spot.

It wasn't until the girl's concubine came to the sky and cried that she kept peeping at Wang Qilang, that Lang Jun, who was "righteous and courageous", was blocked by his family's vigilant servants and pushed to the cabin, while muttering: "Although it is early spring, the climate is still cold, Lang Jun should change his clothes quickly, and be careful about the wind and cold." ”

Wang Qilang seemed to have just come to his senses, and immediately instructed anxiously: "Hurry up and ask the doctor, move the little lady Liu to the cabin, quickly, move to the mother's cabin!" ”

——

When Wang Ningzhi changed his clothes and combed them properly, and then went to his mother's cabin, he saw that the concubine of the Liu family was begging with his servants: "A moment of negligence, it actually made the little lady fall into the water, and it was not good to save the gentleman in time, it is really not good to add more trouble, since the doctor said that there was no big problem after the diagnosis, and the concubine was allowed to take the little lady back to take care of it." ”

Qilang really didn't want to entangle with the concubine, so he stood a little far away, but he was a little worried, and his expression was very hesitant, but fortunately, his servant was also the one who was in charge of things in front of his mother, and he was not forced to be convinced by the concubine of the Liu family, and even his tone was a little arrogant: "The slave master has a saying, the master of your house has personally entrusted his peers, and has his own responsibility to take care of it. ”

The concubine saw that a servant of the Wang family was so big, and suddenly turned white, but it was not easy to break in, she was just a concubine, although she was also a good person, and because the main mother lived in Kyoto for a long time and was not in the south of the Yangtze River, the affairs of the back house were also taken care of by her, and she might be able to entertain guests, but she also knew that the Wang family was also a big family surname, Jingzhao Shiwang, enough to be on an equal footing with the Liu family, if the mother of the Wang family was willing to meet her, it was out of politeness, and people only sent the servant concubine, which was not rude, so she had to be indignant and Ana left in a colorful way, and it was good to turn back "bah" expressed indignation.

Wang Qilang waited for the concubine to disappear, and then entered his mother's cabin, and saw that the girl he rescued had changed into clean clothes, with a fox fur on her body, her childish little face was pale and colorless, and the two eyebrows that were set off were even darker, frowning, as if she was a little sad, which made Wang Qilang even more surprised, and couldn't help but think of the muttering words when the girl woke up, and her brows furrowed.

Qilang's mother Yuan Shi was also full of sadness, but she was obviously not worried about the girl who was asleep, and glanced at her son with disgust: "It's too reckless today, it's so cold, and your water nature is not necessarily good, in case something happens...... I have only one son, you. ”

Qilang hurriedly bowed down and said: "Let the mother worry, it is the son who is not filial." But he said: "The two families are about to get married, this girl is my wife and sister in the future, how can I not save it, and if there is really an accident, wouldn't I be responsible for taking care of it, the son heard that the concubine of the Liu family intends to send the servant who waits for the little lady, and I can't say that there is something strange about this falling water, or the mother herself takes care of it." ”

As soon as Yuan heard the words of the marriage, his expression became more and more depressed, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "I have my own opinions on this matter. ”

Wang Qilang replied "yes" with a smile, and after a while, he suggested: "She is still young, and the weather is cold, just in case, it is best to go ashore to find an inn for a few days, and then set off when it is better." ”

Seeing that his son was so attentive, Yuan couldn't help but sigh, waved his hand and sent the servant out, before saying, "Just according to what you said." But Zhi'er, there are some things I have wanted to persuade for a long time, and today is just the time to take advantage of this ...... Back then, your grandfather and Liu Gong had a friendship with each other, and they set the marriage of their grandchildren, and they didn't choose which one to show, originally Siniang was a daughter of Liu Gong's long house, which was good, but ...... Her biological mother was born in Pei's! After the rebellion case, the Pei Manchu family was in trouble, the mother of Siniang didn't also end up in a violent illness, and how many Pei family married daughters could not live, indicating that the heavenly family is determined to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, if you really marry the fourth mother of the Liu family, you will be afraid that your career will be implicated in the future, so it is better to persuade your father well, not to ruin the marriage, only to discuss with the Liu family, and set another lady in the clan. ”

"Mother, this is absolutely inappropriate." Wang Qilang didn't agree this time, and was anxious to defend: "My son has already passed the ceremony with Liu Siniang, if it weren't for Siniang's three years of mourning, how could he regret marrying someone else at this time?" If the son is treacherous, he will inevitably be ridiculed by the world, and there is an insult to the family, and the friendship between the two surnames of Wang and Liu will also be ruined. ”

After saying this, Wang Qilang was afraid of being irritable again, so he hurriedly said: "My son is going to find an inn, and I still need to send someone to inform Shishilang, and when the arrangement is ready, I will invite my mother to move." ”

Yuan was stunned and stared at the only son who fled into the wilderness, and sighed in annoyance only after half a sound, thinking of the Liu family's Siniang who had personally seen it a few years ago, she was very satisfied at that time, at that time, Pei Xiangzheng had to be trusted by Emperor Dezong first, Pei Wuniang was named the crown princess, Liu Siniang was born in a famous family surnamed Jingzhao Shiwang, not to mention, she is still the most powerful daughter of this long house, the cousin of the princess and concubine, and she is gentle and calm and generous, full of the character of a noble woman of the family, where did she think that once the situation changed color, the Pei family was destroyed!

It is said that the family is famous for a while, and in the blink of an eye, the family is ruined and ruined, and the family should pay attention to the style, but in the final analysis, it is not also for the glory and eminence? I really don't know what Weng's father's husband is planning, didn't the Liu family also let the eldest daughter-in-law Pei's "violent illness"? Even Queen Pei Wuniang and Queen Pei were poisoned to death, who dares to openly blame the Liu family for betraying righteousness and the ruthlessness of the heavenly family? But the husband's family pays attention to faithfulness, to this point, she still insists on marrying the daughter born to the Pei family, she only has one biological son of Qilang, and Qilang has been steady and motivated since childhood, if it is because of the inappropriateness of marrying a wife, so that the career is not smooth, how should this be born?

When he was worried, the henchman and the concubine re-entered, and reported: "The slave has secretly asked carefully, the little lady who fell into the water was not born to the concubine surnamed Yao, the biological mother was originally the mother of the third house of the Liu family to marry the maidservant, and then she was released from the good register, accepted as a concubine, and the mother of the long house Pei died violently, and the rest were daughters-in-law, so the mother of the third house had to go back to Beijing to preside over the housework, and confess that the concubine stayed in Jiangnan to serve. ”

Yuan's face was even more impatient: "So, it's a maidservant girl?" ”

The servant said with a smile: "In the end, the biological mother has also become a good book, and the concubine with documents as evidence, it is said that she was very favored by Lord Liulang during her lifetime, and she was trusted by the master mother. ”

"That's it, it's always with us, and you can't see that this child has an accident, it's not up to me to judge whether it's fair or not, it's enough to take care of some, Shichiro proposes to go to the inn for a few days, and it's okay to hurry after the child gets better...... Since the original servants and maids around her were chosen by the Liu family's mother, and they are still served, you should also keep some intentions, so that's all. ”

The girl on the couch was still asleep at this time, and she did not realize that she had escaped death, and these words were not heard by her.
