Red Mansion Beijingwang

Chapter 109 Tanchun is a snarling tiger cub

In Shenjing, an alley four or five miles away from Rongguo Duke's mansion, there is a slightly dilapidated courtyard with mottled green walls standing quietly. Although the walls are mottled, there are small windows made of bricks on the wall. And the surrounding decoration can still see its free and easy style.

Fu Shi, a disciple of the Jia family, returned from the Duke Rong's palace and sat in the main room with a glowing face. His wife, Wu, handed over the towel and asked, "What's going on today? I look very happy." "

Fu Shi took the towel and wiped his face, and said with a smile: "Today, a political official recommended me to serve as the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army. How can I be unhappy?"

When Wu heard that Fu Shi was about to take up an official position, she was shocked and asked hopefully: "What grade of official is this?"

In the eyes of women like Wu, all official positions are false, only rank is real.

Fu Shi saw this clearly and replied: "From the ninth grade."

Wu's face suddenly turned ugly when she heard this, and she said with disdain: "You're only a ninth-grade official, how can I enjoy this?"

Although Congjiupin has a rank, in the eyes of others, he is not in the mainstream, and is called a "little official who has not entered the mainstream". In her opinion, with the golden sign of Rongguo Duke's mansion, since he is appointed as an official, he must at least have She was a seventh-grade county magistrate, so she could be the county magistrate's wife for a time, but she didn't expect to be a low-ranking official. How could she not be disappointed.

Seeing Wu's disapproving look, Fu Shi raised his brows and reprimanded: "What do you, a woman, know? The Central Military Governor's Mansion will be under the control of Prince Beijing from now on, and Prince Beijing is the son-in-law of the political duke. Promoting political officials at this time is just a transition. When the tide rises, all boats will be lifted, and I will be able to rise to the top."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wu suddenly became interested and said with high spirits: "Master, this is true."

Fu Shi stroked his beard and said confidently: "Of course it's true. It's ridiculous that Zhan Guang and Shan Pinren are short-sighted. They think they are well-educated people and look down on this road to success."

Jia Zheng had many disciples, including Zhan Guang and Shan Pinren, who were both disciples of Fu Shi. However, compared to the so-called "literary character", Fu Shi paid more attention to training.

Seeing Fu Shi's confidence, Wu said no more.

Fu Shi took a sip of tea and suddenly asked, "By the way, where is Qiu Fang?"

Wu didn't realize he was there and said, "Qiu Fang is reading in the study. Do you want me to take a look?"

Fu Shi groaned without answering. After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "I saw Prince Beijing from a distance earlier. He had a handsome face and an extraordinary demeanor, just like a man of heaven. He was also humble and courteous, and had a good political and public character. This son-in-law is truly a blessing."

Listening to Fu Shi's envious tone, Mrs. Wu suddenly had a guess in her mind as a person beside her. She rolled her eyes and whispered, "Does the master want Qiu Fang to serve the prince?"

Seeing that his wife had exposed her thoughts, Fu Shi didn't hide it, and said with burning eyes: "My sister is both talented and beautiful, what's wrong with her?"

His younger sister, Fu Qiufang, is a beautiful woman, loves reading, and is quite pretty. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is both talented and beautiful.

Generally speaking, a girl can get married at the age of 14, but Fu Qiufang is over [-] years old and is still not married. She is considered an old girl.

It's not that Fu Qiufang is not worthy of her reputation and no one takes her seriously, but that Fu Shi has always wanted to find a good family for his girl and refuses to marry someone lightly, so it has been delayed until now.

Originally, Fu Shi intended to let Fu Qiufang be Jia Zheng's second wife, so he mostly let Fu Qiufang walk around Jia Zheng's house. However, Jia Zheng was a decent man and had no other thoughts about his disciple's sister, which gave Fu Shi a headache.

As for the young master who was born with a jade in his mouth, Fu Shi didn't have any ideas, but he was still young and could only figure it out slowly.

Now that Fu Shi saw the majesty of the Prince of Beijing, he suddenly had an evil thought in his mind. If he went to the Prince of Beijing's palace, firstly, his sister would have someone to rely on and live a worry-free life. Secondly, he could rely on the power of a wealthy family to achieve success.

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate. Even if Qiu Fang is lucky enough to be favored by the prince, I'm afraid Princess Beijing won't agree."

Wu's heart was also moved, but although she was a market woman, she was not stupid. The prince of Beijing was already married, so Fu Qiufang could only be a concubine, but even if she was a concubine, given the Fu family's background, You may not be able to see the Prince's Palace in Beijing either.

Moreover, Mrs. Wu felt that as a wife, she always wanted to monopolize her husband, so sending him over at this time was not just to offend her.

Fu Shi disapproved and sneered: "You know nothing, I know this matter well, you don't need to pay attention."

In Fu Shi's view, Prince Beijing had a distinguished status as a member of the royal family, and he must have countless concubines around him. As a disciple of Jia Zheng, he knew that the Duke of Rongguo was marrying a concubine, and he was accompanied by several concubines. A pretty maid, do you think she is here to serve you in daily life?
How could Fu Shi not know about the implicit rules among wealthy families? This Wu family has little knowledge and self-righteousness and uses his own way to speculate on others. He really doesn't know what to say.

As long as the prince likes her, nothing else matters. He believes that his girl will be favored based on her appearance.

Moreover, he did not intend to make it clear to Jia Zheng that it was not easy to create opportunities with his status as a disciple of the Jia family and a proposal documenter of the Chinese Army Governor's Office.

Even if the prince doesn't like it, it doesn't matter. He still has to give it a try.

When Wu heard this, she looked resentful and couldn't say much for a while.

In the cubicle of Rongqing Hall, it was the second girl Yingchun and Sister Lin who were playing chess in front of a few cases.The second girl Yingchun was gentle and silent. She seemed to be concentrating on her playing chess. This concentrated look was quite demure and indifferent.

After a while, there was a commotion outside the house. Zheng Zheng smiled knowingly at Yi Daiyu and said in a clear voice: "Except for that annoying Feng girl, there is no one else."

Sure enough, before the person arrived, he heard the smile first: "Oh, I brought someone here, you can't chase me away again."

As soon as she finished speaking, a coquettish young woman who looked as dazzling as a fairy concubine arrived.

Involuntarily, Shui Rong raised his eyes and saw that Sister Feng had indeed brought someone here. One was Tanchun's younger brother Jia Huan, and the other was Jia Lan, both juniors.

However, there was a woman standing next to Jia Lan, wearing a snow-blue armor with a lotus flower embroidery collar, a jacket lined with a black collar, a lead-white square collar, a stand-up collar, and a black-trimmed tea-white horse-faced skirt at the hem. , his appearance is elegant and his temperament is elegant.

"Hey, Sister-in-law Zhu is here."

When Xiangyun saw the woman next to Sister Feng, his eyes lit up and he raised his hand to greet her.

Upon hearing this, Shui Rong understood clearly that the person known as "Sister-in-law Zhu" was naturally Li Wan, the "old plum".

Sister Feng came to Shui Rong with a bright smile and introduced, "Your Majesty, this is Sister-in-law Zhu."

Seeing this, Li Wan stepped forward and said politely: "I have met the prince."

He looked at Sister-in-law Zhu in front of her with watery eyes. She had a slender build and fragrant cheeks. She was worthy of the name of a golden hairpin. She was very beautiful, but the coldness between her eyebrows was like an ancient well with no waves in a deep alley. The color is a bit missing.

I remember that I came to the Jia Mansion for the first wedding ceremony and the wedding ceremony. I had seen most of the golden hairpins in the house, but I missed this "pretty widow".

Looking at Li Wan Zhen's calm and indifferent appearance, Shui Rong understood clearly in her heart that Li Wan was a young widow. Although she lived in a beautiful place, she would be as dead as a dead tree. If it were not for the company of her parents and children and the company of these sisters-in-law, she could comfort her. , I am afraid that the ancient Buddha with green lantern will accompany him throughout his life.

Nodding gently, Shui Rong called her "Sister-in-law Zhu" and said nothing.

Li Wan is not a well-rounded person like Sister Feng. He doesn't say much when greeted, and is quiet and courteous.

At this moment, a little man rushed over, knelt on the ground, and shouted playfully: "Greetings to my brother-in-law."

This sudden scene immediately left everyone present speechless, with different expressions, and the room became quiet for a while.

Tanchun's pretty face turned red, her handsome eyes that looked forward to Shenfei raised her eyebrows, and she yelled: "What are you doing? Stand up quickly, stand up!"

This shout was deafening, especially the heroic eyebrow trimming, which gave people a sense of rationality and cowardice. It was very aura, like the roar of a lion from the east of the river. Shuirong's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Tanchun. His eyes were a little surprised, was this his caring sister-in-law?
Jia Huan was frightened. He knew his sister's temperament and was really angry now. He had no choice but to stand up with a frown and muttered: "My mother told me to kneel down to greet the prince."

Tanchun felt a chill in her heart when she heard this, and knew that it was her mother who taught her. Tanchun understood that Aunt Zhao wanted Jia Huan to show her face in front of the prince, which was understandable.

But just say hello, you have to do something in a big way, be unconventional, it’s just that you don’t have self-respect, and now a good man is taught to be frivolous. This is not to make others look down on you, but to disrespect yourself. , how can people be respected? This is not a hindrance, it is really not a high-level position.

Thinking of this, the anger in Tanchun's heart suddenly rose, and he couldn't help but open his eyes again, and glared: "If you say anything again, I will give you a good slap in the face first!"

When Jia Huan saw Tan Chun frowning and squinting, he was frightened, fearing that Tan Chun would come forward to take action, so he hung his head and remained silent.

After scolding Jia Huan, Tanchun regained his composure. Seeing everyone's eyes falling on him with his big clear eyes, he was heartbroken. Especially when he looked at Shui Rong's weird expression, his pretty face turned pale.

It's over. I saw that my brother was too frivolous and couldn't control himself for a moment and lost his temper in front of the prince. The prince wouldn't dislike me for this!

Seeing Tan Chun's panic expression, Shui Rong understood in his heart, smiled suddenly, and said: "Brother Huan, this is to respect me, and you three girls don't need to be too harsh."

Tanchun felt a little relieved when he heard this, and his pretty face returned a bit of color. The prince's words also meant that he would not care too much.

But before Tanchun could completely settle down, Jia Huan lowered his head and said as if he had been greatly wronged: "Brother-in-law is right, I just respect him!"

As he said that, Jia Huan's eyes rolled up and he stood still, looking at Shui Rong from time to time.

Looking at Jia Huan's appearance, Tanchun didn't know what he meant. He dared to ask for a reward. With such a disrespectful look, Tanchun was so angry that he almost fell down. He wished he could actually step forward and give him a few slaps, but the prince was there. Before, she couldn't lose her composure again, and stared at Jia Huan coldly like knives, as if as a warning.

Seeing this, Shui Rong was shocked. This sharp aura made the temperature of the room seem to drop a bit.

I thought Tanchun was a female cat, but unexpectedly, she turned out to be a tiger cub, howling.
