Chapter 168: Night Talk
When she arrived in the West Chamber, Qingwen cut the wick of the candle, turned her head and asked, "Xiuying, why do you seem to have changed your words?" β
"Huh?" Xiu Ying blinked and said: "The fourth master was moved, and he was knighted, and it is not good to call him a son, so he naturally has to change his words." β
Qingwen smiled and said, "You are obedient." β
Xiu Ying muttered, "Isn't this a matter of course? When he was in the countryside, Ma Xiucai was moved, and the whole village changed their name to Master Ma, and his father became Mrs. Ma. β
Qingwen pursed her lips, in her heart, Li Weijian has not changed, but she has two more layers of identity.
In the main room, after serving Li Weijian to wash his feet, Hongyu burrowed into the quilt with a ruddy face. As the saying goes, marry a man and marry a man, dress and eat.
Earlier, she was a third-class maid outside Baoyu's room, and she knew that she couldn't get close to Baoyu, and she was not as good as attacking people than color, so she gave up the idea of being an aunt. Because he found his father and mother and entrusted his second grandmother, he transferred to Li Weijian's side.
When she first saw her, she was just a showman, but she was extremely gentle to others, and Hongyu moved her mind. After several performances, it finally entered Li Weijian's eyes. Later, because of Siqi, he had a skin-to-skin relationship with him.
The fourth master of this Dao Jian will follow the step-by-step process, and he will raise people in the examination first, but it is difficult to say whether he can be admitted to the Jinshi master. However, Hongyu was extremely content, so she thought that it would be better to be a concubine for the old man than to be a boy when she was old.
Previously, Li Weijian tossed about water affairs, and only said that he had made some money, and Hongyu thought that it was only tens of thousands of taels at most. Who would have thought that he would later learn from his father and mother that the fourth master who dared to be frugal made millions of family fortunes!
Hongyu was extremely pleased, thinking that she would not have to endure hardships in the future. No one would have expected that the fourth master of Jian would be busy for more than half a year, and this time he would soar to the sky!
It's just a matter of winning the move, and he was awarded the title of second-class baron for merit! Title! Who doesn't know from the top and bottom of Rongguo Mansion that for the inheritance of the title, the big house and the second room are fighting fiercely?
As a result, the fourth master of Jian Piaopiao won a title that was bigger than the eldest lord of Rongguo Mansion!
The most important thing is that the fourth master is only fourteen or five years old, so how do you know that he will not be promoted to the knighthood in the future? I heard that if you are crowned the prince of the country, your wife will be able to get a decree; If the fourth master works harder, he will be crowned a king with a different surname in more than ten or twenty years, and he can't say that he can also be a side concubine!
Hongyu is the son of the Rongguo Mansion, and has been a slave for several generations, never thinking that one day she will be so prosperous.
When she came to Li Weijian's side, Hongyu was both eager and worried. The fourth master can do this, there are many women with good colors in the world this day, and I heard Qingwen say that I bumped into two shameless people in Ning Guofu the previous time. If you don't decide your name as soon as possible, where will you have a place in the future?
Because she was lying down slightly, she turned around and looked at Li Weijian beside her with burning eyes. As if burned by that gaze, Li Weijian seemed to be aware of it, opened his eyes to see that he was coming, and asked with a smile: "Why don't you sleep?" β
Hongyu buried her head in her shoulders with a red face, and said in a low voice: "Fourth master, I will be fifteen next month." β
Li Weijian's mind turned and he understood the meaning of Hongyu, and he couldn't laugh or cry immediately. The probe grabbed it, patted it on the back lightly, and said, "I promised you earlier, I will have to be an aunt in the future, what's the matter?" I'm afraid that my husband doesn't count if I speak? β
Hongyu shook her head and said, "That's it...... I thought about it too. β
Hearing such love words, Li Weijian suddenly felt uneasy, and it took a long time to stabilize his mood, and whispered in his ear: "Then wait for you to give birth." β
"Hmm." Hongyu responded, leaned over and kissed Li Weijian's neck twice, and then hugged him to sleep.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Rika-in.
Today is a good day for Li Weijian, Aunt Xue knew that Xue Pan and Li Weijian had a holiday, so she didn't let Xue Pan join in the fun.
Now that I think about it, I regret it, I knew that Brother Jian was so capable, so I should have let Wen Long Fu be smaller. Regardless of whether you can expose it in your heart or not, you must first expose this face.
Aunt Xue and Baochai returned to Lixiang Courtyard, and Xue Pan wondered: "The surname Li is knighted?" β
"But who would have thought of that?" Aunt Xue frowned and said.
Baochai glanced at Xue Pan demure and said, "Brother should pay some respects in the future." The fourth brother is now on the throne, but the elder brother is just white. β
Taizong Li Guo set the rules, and when ordinary people meet Xungui, don't say that they collide, it is disrespectful, and they can also be punished for the crime of disrespect.
Not to mention that Li Weijian is still so young, he is afraid that if he sends famous posts to the yamen everywhere, the chief officials of the yamen will have to think about one or two.
The dumb overlord Xue Pan blinked and said, "It's all relatives, Brother Jian won't be so careful, right?" β
Seeing that Baochai just looked at him speechless, Xue Pan, who knew that he had a holiday with Li Weijian, nodded: "That's it, I'll just avoid him in the future." β
Xue Pan was excited, and said two words and left. Aunt Xue and Baochai borrowed Lixiang Courtyard, but Xue Pan lived in his own house.
As soon as Xue Pan left, Aunt Xue had a belly dispute with Baochai for a while.
"Who would have thought? Brother Jian was silent, and suddenly came to such a scene. Knighted! Now it seems that your uncle is afraid that he has lost his eyes, and he is only afraid that he will do a lot of things. β
Suddenly, seeing Baochai's eyes flowing, Aunt Xue suddenly sighed in her heart. The good daughter mentioned Li Weijian that day, her face was wrong, where did she not know Baochai's thoughts? Because of a few words, Baochai stopped thinking. Now, isn't it because Li Weijian was knighted, and this thought has arisen again?
Aunt Xue thought about it for a while, and suddenly changed her words: "However, even if he is knighted, he is a second-class man with miscellaneous miscellaneous titles without a title." The eldest lord is right, if you don't have military merits, you can't be a uncle, no matter how frugal brother can be, he will just be a miscellaneous uncle in the future, and he can't compare with a powerful person like Rongguofu.
My son, now you know that Baoyu doesn't like to listen, but you want to mention reading, which is not appropriate. Besides, Baoyu has a bad temperament, why don't you chase it out later? β
Sister Bao shook her head, suddenly looked at Aunt Xue and said, "Mom, Uncle is not only looking away, but I'm afraid that my mother is also looking away." Mom asked herself, is the fourth brother really the lucky one who is such a coincidence? β
"Thisβ" Aunt Xue couldn't open her eyes and talk nonsense.
Baochai said: "I really haven't been mistaken, such a man who stands up to the sky and the earth will break out of the world." β
Aunt Xue said nervously: "My son, are youβ"
Baochai's eyes burned and said: "I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail." β
Aunt Xue sighed and said, "It's our family that is dragging you down, my son-"
Sister Bao only smiled quietly and shook her head: "By mistake, who would have expected this?" But in today's situation, there is always a fight, and if you don't fight, you are always unwilling in your heart. β
Aunt Xue sighed again, leaned over and hugged Baochai tightly, only to feel that her daughter had a hard life, and the Xue family was also ill-fated.
After a while, Aunt Xue said again: "It's just Baoyu's headβ"
Sister Bao shook her head and was speechless. Aunt Xue knew that her good daughter was going to bet on both ends.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Aunt Zhao's courtyard.
Aunt Zhao coaxed Jia Zheng to buy a face some time ago, but she didn't dare to be conspicuous in front of Mrs. Wang, so she showed off in front of Aunt Zhou.
Who knew that happiness was very sad, and Mrs. Wang came to look for Aunt Zhou, and she happened to be looked at by her. In the evening, Mrs. Wang found Aunt Zhao for her mistake and punished her for setting up rules for an hour.
It was cold in the morning and evening, and Aunt Zhao knelt in the yard for an hour, and caught a cold as soon as the cool breeze blew. It is also because of this that he hid in his courtyard today and never showed up.
The outside was so lively, Aunt Zhao sent Xiao Jixianger to listen. At first, it was just Li Weijian, but when she heard that the old lady was going to hold a two-day banquet, Aunt Zhao was sour for a while.
Turning his head, he thought, turned around and caught Jia Huan, and always taught him a lesson, so that he could make a good life. In this way, I will have such a beautiful day in the future.
But it's not right to turn around, Xiao Que listened again, and that thrifty brother was knighted! is still a second-class man who is bigger than the big man! Aunt Zhao immediately extinguished her thoughts about comparing with it.
Then I remembered to visit the spring again. She asked a lot of questions with the side knocks some time ago, and Tanchun didn't seem to have opened her mind, although her words were full of admiration for Brother Frugal, but she never thought of anything else.
Aunt Zhao felt sorry in her heart, but she missed such a good marriage. As a result, in a blink of an eye, Brother Jian was named a second-class man. That's a second-class man!
At this time, Jia Zheng was drinking the sobering soup in a small sip, and Aunt Zhao coughed twice, leaned over and said, "Master, the slave is not happy today......
Jia Zheng glanced at him and said, "Just come here and take a look, is your body better?" β
"I drank the medicinal soup and sweated in the next morning, but this time I didn't burn, I just coughed."
"Well, I'll go back and look for the Imperial Doctor. I'll go to sleep in the study later. β
Aunt Zhao leaned over and whispered, "Master, Brother Jian is knighted." Master, can you do Tanchunβ"
"Nonsense! How old is Tanchun? Jia Zheng scolded: "Besides, no matter how good the spring is to visit, it is also a concubine." Now I'm afraid that I don't match for resurrection. β
"This ......" Aunt Zhao said angrily: "Tanchun is not worthy, so Yingchun is worthy?" β
Jia Zheng shook his head and said, "Naturally, I don't deserve it." Originally, I thought I would say a few words about this resurrection. Now that he's knighted, I don't need to say more. I want to come to my in-laws to learn that I will not allow Fusheng to marry a concubine. β
Aunt Zhao suddenly ironed in her heart and said with a smile: "These days, Mrs. Xing is spreading everywhere, as if she can marry Ming'er in the Spring Festival." Oh, this time I'll see how she shows off! β
As far as Aunt Zhao is concerned, she is not afraid if she can't get it, and no one else has it.
Aunt Zhao secretly gloated, not to mention it, and now the East Cross Courtyard can be described as gloomy.
The eldest man drank a few more cups today, but he was impatient to sober up the soup and only drank the tea.
Mrs. Xing said happily on the side: "It's good now, Brother Jian has been knighted, and he will be our son-in-law in the future, and he will have face when he says it." β
The eldest lord Jia Yu snorted lightly and said, "Whether it is our son-in-law or not, it is difficult to say now." β
Mrs. Xing was surprised and asked, "What do you say, master?" β
Jia Yu said: "If Brother Jian is just a middle move, he can still be regarded as a good person, and if he marries in the spring, he can still be regarded as marrying." Now that he has been knighted, he is still a second-class man, but it's hard to say. Which noble family do you see marrying a wife and a concubine? β
Mrs. Xing suddenly realized this, and immediately said worriedly: "This ...... Isn't this boiled duck about to fly? β
Jia Yu shook his head sadly, and said: "I expect that Brother Zhu's daughter-in-law will definitely inform Li Shouzhong of this matter in a letter in the next few days, but I don't know if Li Shouzhong received this letter first, or sent a reply first. If it's the former, everything is over; If it's the latter, I'm afraid there will be a turnaround. β
"Brother Nafty...... Will it be reversed? β
Jia Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "How can I allow him to regret it?" It's just that I dislike that Yingchun is a concubine, and this matter is simple. β
Mrs. Xing suddenly came over, took Jia Yu's arm and said, "What can the master do?" β
Jia Yu smiled with a half-faced face: "You can't say anything about this matter, if you break it, it won't work." β
Seeing Mrs. Xing's face-to-face Ai Ai, Jia Yu said, "That's it, and I'll tell you a word." When I went back, I went to Xuanzhen Guan to ask for Brother Jing, and passed the Spring Festival to his name, so I wouldn't be considered a concubine, wouldn't I be right with Brother Jian'er? β
Madame Xing was stunned, and then looked at Jia Yu in extreme shock.
Jia Yu smiled for a moment, and suddenly felt uncomfortable, and snorted coldly: "What do you think I do?" β
Mrs. Xing hurriedly avoided her head, immediately picked up her thoughts, and forced a smile to herself: "The master still has a way." β
Jia Yu suddenly felt bad, got up and scolded: "Now the subordinates in this mansion are becoming more and more unruly, and they are spreading the master's yin si. If I catch it one day, I will definitely give these evil obstacles a good thing! β
With a cold snort, Jia Yu brushed his sleeves away, leaving only Mrs. Xing trembling and sitting on the bed in a trance.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the next day, Li Weijian was dressed neatly because he drank wine, and went to Jia's mother's house to say goodbye. After a few words, he said that he was going to visit his teacher Yan Xiyao today.
Mother Jia didn't say anything, but only asked Li Weijian to come back early. Li Weijian agreed and immediately took the car.
It's just a middle move, and this knight has to talk to the teacher. However, it was not a coincidence that Li Weijian arrived at the Yan Mansion, only Yan Fengzhen received him, and after a few jokes, he said that Yan Xiyao was only afraid that he would not be available today - as soon as the list of Shixue Qiu was released, those poor scholars went in tandem, and they surrounded the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion early this morning, asking Shuntian Mansion to give an explanation.
Li Weijian smiled and said: "No wonder Brother Jingwen is hiding at home, he is taking refuge." β
Yan Fengzhen pushed his glasses and said: "I am really talented and learned, and I am not afraid of the school examination, how can I say that I have taken refuge?" After a pause, he suddenly woke up, and pointed at Li Weijian and said, "Resurrection is cunning!" No wonder you wrote your strategy so plainly, it turned out that you were afraid of being roasted on the fire! β
Li Weijian smiled and said: "Brother Jingwen can't talk nonsense, I just don't have enough knowledge, so this strategy is not very brilliant." It's not as good as Brother Jingwen's Xie Yuan. β
Yan Fengzhen hated it so much that his teeth itched, so he searched around, and hit it with a broom. Li Weijian laughed, turned around and trotted a few steps to throw it behind him. Out of the Yan Mansion, got into the carriage, and hurriedly drove Wu Haiping straight to his house.
Wu Zhong went back and forth yesterday, and Fu Qiufang already knew about his knighthood, and he didn't know if he slept well last night.
