Whose Evil in the Red Chamber

Ever since we got the news that the new emperor was going to tour the south, the area in the south of the Yangtze River has become lively. Several big families have hosted banquets under various names. Today, the Liu family will enjoy flowers, and tomorrow, the Zhao family will have a poetry meeting. Even Liu Boshao's scheduled trip to Beijing has been postponed.

Although Gusu, Jinling and Weiyang families are numerous and intertwined, they have been the most prosperous places in the south of the Yangtze River since ancient times, but when it comes to the matter of receiving and driving, Jinling is the most beautiful place. Four times, Gein, because the old matriarch of the Zhen family was the nanny of the Supreme Emperor at that time, he gained such great dignity, and because of this, he faintly became the head of the major families in the south of the Yangtze River. It is detachment.

Ever since the old lady of the Zhen family passed away, these aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River have been waiting for the Zhen family to lose power in order to replace them. What matters is that the air strikes the title of the ancestors.

There used to be four big families in Jinling besides the Zhen family. Although their power is not as powerful as the Zhen family in its heyday, it should not be underestimated. Among them, although the old lady of the Wang family has retired from office, the two sons of the Wang family, the eldest son Wang Ziteng, have already worshiped the Ministry of Punishment. Shangshu, the second master Wang Zisheng was released to the prefect of Anqing, so the future is naturally bright.

Not only that, the daughters of the Wang family also married into several big families. The eldest lady was originally engaged to the Zhang family in Jiangning, but she was so beautiful that she died before getting through the family. The second lady married into the Jia family of Rongguo Mansion. Although the third lady married The family of merchants is the Xue family, but the ancestors of the Xue family were the imperial merchants who granted the title of Ziwei Sheren, and their family wealth is huge. Although they are offended now, they have been reprimanded and suspended from the errand of purchasing medicinal materials, but recently they have heard rumors It is said that Xue's family left the Zhong'an Prince's Mansion and got a new cloth errand. It can be seen that although Xue's family is a business, they cannot be taken lightly.

Jia and Shi's families have all moved into the capital, and they bear the names of the four great families in Jinling, but they have no intention of fighting openly and secretly among the families in Jiangnan. There are not a few who secretly want to replace it.

The Liu family, the Chen family and the Zhao family who are friends with Jing Xuan, Wei Zhen and Wang Qi are the few big families in Gusu that should not be underestimated.

Although the Liu family is said to be the in-laws of the Zhen family, the uncle of the Liu family is now a scholar of the Imperial Academy in Beijing. The first family has some ambitions to become the number one family in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Zhao family is a family of soldiers and horses. The uncle of the Zhao family served under his command when he was still the ninth prince who was ordered to station in the border.With this relationship, most of the Zhao family's children were born in the army, inheriting the military style of their ancestors.The marriage between the eldest son of the Zhao family and the second miss Liu also brought the relationship between the two families closer.

The Chen family is a scholarly family. Although it is not as famous as the Lin family's father and son Tanhua, but compared to the Lin family with a small population, the Chen family has the air of a big family. The second master of the Chen family is now the governor of Yunnan. Power is important, even the Biluochun tea garden in Gusu is the property of the Chen family.

Since these three families got the news of the new emperor's southern tour, they tried their best to fight for the glory of taking over. Although some other families knew that they were not comparable to these three families, they certainly didn't have the hope of taking over, but they still had I thought about climbing up to get some benefits from others.

This caused countless big and small banquets in Gusu. Mrs. Hou took Jingxuan to Liu, Zhao, and Chen's three houses only once, but got tired of the invitations one after another, and declined the rest.

The Hou Mansion just pushed the Qu family's post, Wang Qi took the news he had just received, clicked his tongue twice, and said to Jing Xuan: "This time, the Zhen family is scheduled to pick up the driver, and it is said that the dragon boat will stay at the Zhen family. For five days, those individuals have run out of bamboo baskets to fetch water."

"It's not surprising, after all, this time the emperor is going to the south of the Yangtze River in the name of the emperor's tour, and it is reasonable for the old minister of the emperor to add grace." Jing Xuan took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

Seeing the smile on Jing Xuan's face, Wang Qi couldn't help winking for a while: "That's true, but it has nothing to do with us who picks up the driver or not. Whoever gets the honor is just a money-making business, but Leveraging this east wind, your restaurant and theater troupe have made a lot of money, in my opinion, making a fortune in silence is more affordable than taking over the money."

Apart from the banquet being held at my own home, it is natural that the Yiran Building, which is the most popular nowadays, and theatrical troupe are also indispensable items for various banquets with complicated names, so Yiran and Lichun Troupe are becoming more and more popular.

Although Wang Qi is now a young master, but the nature of love for money in his bones is afraid that he will never let go of it for the rest of his life. When it comes to making money, Wang Qi is very excited, after all, he still divides restaurants and theaters. Team bonus.

"It's a pity that I can't discredit the Sun family right away, it really makes me feel uncomfortable!" Thinking of this, Wang Qi pouted again, with a look of displeasure.

Seeing Wang Qi's face change, the smile in Jing Xuan's eyes deepened, and he said with a smile: "It's not a bad thing, the Sun family is busy with the Zhen family now, so I'm afraid they don't have the time to pay attention to other things, but we can Taking advantage of this opportunity to find out the Xu family that Chun Yinger mentioned, I am not afraid to startle the snake."

"That's right, the Sun family is used to selling their daughters for glory. I never thought that there are such nasty things in it. If I can really find this brother of the Xu family, I will definitely make his family face shame!" Wang Qi's eyes lit up. , was about to call someone, but was stopped by Wei Zhen.

"Jing Xuan is right. This matter is the most fearful of scaring the snake. If the Sun family finds out, I am afraid that all previous efforts will be wasted. I have nothing to do now. It is better for me to handle this matter myself." Wei Zhen said in a deep voice.

Jing Xuan nodded. He was naturally the most reassuring towards Wei Zhen. Although he had always been taciturn and not so flexible, Jing Xuan had to look at him differently when it came to being safe and thoughtful.

It also happens to give him something to do, so that he won't have time to focus on marrying a wife.Unknowingly, this sour thought flashed through Jing Xuan's mind, and he completely forgot that Wei Zhen had reiterated many times that he was not in a hurry to marry a wife.

After Jingxuan and Wei Zhen left the Hou Mansion together, Jingxuan asked on the way: "The matter of this martial arts..."

When Wei Zhen came back before, it happened that he fell into the water, and then he was discussing how to deal with the Sun family's arrogance, and then he was in a hurry because of Shengjia's southern tour. As soon as we talked about Wei Zhen's landing, it was so easy to come to an end today, Jingxuan brought up the old story again and asked about Wei Zhen's landing.

But before Jingxuan finished speaking, Wei Zhen, who never interrupted Jingxuan, spoke first: "I don't want to leave Gusu, sir, and you so early." free body.

Jing Xuan never thought that Wei Zhen would say that, so he couldn't help being taken aback. He also thought about the reasons why Wei Zhen gave up martial arts, and he could guess one or two of them. If it is Wei Zhen's concern, the husband is naturally the most important one. , but what does this last sentence mean?Jing Xuan's heart tightened.

Thousands of thoughts turned in my heart, facing Wei Zhen's natural expression and confident tone, as if this was the case, but Jing Xuan didn't know what to say, Wei Zhen didn't rush him, and the two remained silent like this Walking, seeing Jing Xuan's door, Jing Xuan said: "I'll go back to serve my mother first, and the whole Xu family depends on you."

Wei Zhen nodded, looking at Jing Xuan's running-away posture, an imperceptible smile appeared in his eyes, it was quite interesting to force the little fox to go around talking about him.Also, his tone of voice no longer resembles his own, which shows that his heart is disturbed.It's good to be upset, but if you are really indifferent, then it's sad, isn't it?Occasionally making Jing Xuan unhappy, Wei Zhen still has no sense of guilt, who made him always go along with Wang Qi and yell about his sister-in-law recently, it doesn't have to make people feel unhappy.

But Jing Xuan, who entered the house, didn't think more about Wei Zhen's affairs. Looking at his mother with a serious face, Jing Xuan sighed in his heart. It seems that the mystery that has plagued him for a long time will finally be revealed today. up.

"My Xuan'er, it was only a little big at that time, and it looks like a meatball, but now it has grown so big." Looking at the son with facial features and stature that is getting bigger and bigger in front of him, Zhou's eyes couldn't help turning red .

"Mother..." Sighing, Jing Xuan said: "Mother is getting thinner and thinner, Xuan'er is still young, and she needs to take care of her."

"Mother is fine. Mother knows that Xuan'er, you have always wanted to know your own life experience. Mother originally thought that for your safety, even if you recognized a thief as your father, she wanted you to live the rest of your life as the young master of the Lin family. Unfortunately I wish, my son is so smart and has already seen the strangeness of the matter, and he happened to meet Huan Qian, and he saw the clues. When I heard the news of the current emperor's southern tour, I knew that everything could not be escaped. .”

Zhou's voice was full of bitterness. She didn't know about his cousin's temper. The Southern Tour was not something he could do, but he did it anyway. At such a coincident time—— Huanqian on the front foot saw Jing Xuan and recognized him, and his cousin on the back foot was coming to Jiangnan, Zhou had to connect these two things together.

"Mother, if you don't want to say it, don't force yourself." Looking at his mother like this, even though Jing Xuan really wanted to know the answer that had troubled him for many years, he couldn't bear it.

"Mother is fine. If you still keep it from you, you will be harmed." Zhou Shi forced a smile, with longing in his eyes, mixed with deep pain, and turned into a soft sigh.

I was lazy and lazy, and I became more and more lazy. I am so ashamed!This time, because of the cleanup of the website, I was knocked up and had to change a lot of things. After logging in to the website, I felt even more ashamed when I saw the large piece of news.

I have also strengthened my determination not to abandon the pit, but after so long, it is really difficult to pick it up again. It took me a while to read the previous content several times, and sorted out the character relationship spectrum and outline—before I don’t know where the original one went, and everything started from scratch, but since I decided to continue to update, I will never give up casually, or it will be anticlimactic, and I must really finish writing.

Thank you for your unanimous support for this article. I am really very embarrassed. No matter how much I say, it is false, so I have to update it properly!
