The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 118
Many things in this world have false appearances. Those who look tender and tender may be master assassins with martial arts; An uneducated liar.
Xiuyan had to admit that she had completely misjudged this time.

What kind of emperor teacher, what kind of great Confucianism in the world, is simply a villain with a small stomach and a small heart.

Mr. Bai still refused to ask Zhengde to stay at Xing's house, and insisted on taking him back to the academy. Mrs. Lu hugged his son and refused to let go. We begged Mr. to accept him as an apprentice, there is no reason to hold the child and not allow him to go to school, but now you are leading this group of people to mobilize people to go to the house to rob him, what is the reason?"

Lu Shi also said angrily: "We didn't say that we doted on this child and told him to waste his studies. How come it's an eyesore for Mr. to even go home for a few days now!"

Mr. Bai continued to sneer: "You are still pretending to be confused in front of me! You have known Zhengde's life experience for a long time, and you have been planning to use me to report to the court! Hmph, let me tell you, I will not be called a good child Destroyed in the houses of merchants like you!"

As soon as Mr. Bai waved his hand, a few boys from the academy behind him came up to snatch him.

Zhengde's third senior brother was anxious and frightened, and kept trying to dissuade in a low voice: "Master, why bother to make everyone feel uncomfortable. Let's just talk to them properly!"

How could the servants of Xing's family put the mistress at a disadvantage, they surrounded her early and pushed the servants in the academy to the base of the wall, making them unable to move.There was even a woman from the inner courtyard who brought feather dusters and other things to confront the people from Bishan Academy.

Mr. Bai threw off the shackles of his apprentice, and said bitterly: "Zhengde, I just ask you one more time, do you want to go back to the academy with me?"

Zhengde had already walked out of Mrs. Lu's arms, and looked at Mr. Bai with a serious face: "Master, the brothers in the academy can go home for reunion every month. Why can't I be the only one? You ask the brothers to talk about " Biography of Liang Yi, but never told me the reason, is this for my own good?"

Mr. Bai blushed and said angrily: "What do you know? This is for you not to go astray. How can you understand the painstaking efforts of being a teacher!"

Xiuyan could hear it clearly from the steps, and couldn't help being furious.

"Biography of Liang Yi" was written by an idler in the previous dynasty. This Liang Yi is the grandson of Duke Liang.Liang Guogong started his family with martial arts, and won the favor of King Qin, and the old Guogong wanted to pass the title to his grandson.But Liang Yi not only refused to accept it, but instead helped his frail brother to make contributions.Every time he left his military achievements and returned home, Liang Yi was even more humble to his brother, almost a slave.

Once this book was published, it was greatly praised by Empress Ming Xiao of the previous dynasty, who overwhelmed all the officials to refute, and pushed her only son, who was not strong, to the position of the crown prince.

Empress Ming Xiao was not reconciled, fearing that other princes in the palace would threaten her son's status, she eliminated these hidden dangers one by one.Unexpectedly, Empress Mingxiao's son died within a few days, and even the emperor had no sons to pass on, so he could only reluctantly give up the throne to his brothers.The world does not explain that Empress Xiao is stupid, but praises the emperor's abdication as admirable.

This "Biography of Liang Yi" also became extremely popular following the intricate changes in the court in the previous dynasty.

Xiuyan felt that her lungs were on fire as if they were about to explode.

She can now be sure that her original decision was not only a mistake, but also the stupidest decision she has ever made in her life!
Xiuyan wanted to scold someone, if not for Daiyu holding her tightly, she might have rushed out long ago.

"Sister, you don't need to get angry on your own. Look at Zhengde, that kid has a lot of ideas. I'm afraid he can handle this matter smoothly by himself."

Sure enough, after Zhengde said those words, he took two steps forward, not at all afraid of his master's ugly face.

"Master wants me to learn from Liang Yi?"

His third senior brother saw that the master's face was becoming more and more ugly, so he came up and pulled Zhengde: "You child, why are you talking to the master! Follow us back, it's for your own good!"

"Brother, what's for my own good? I don't teach books or rationale. I just leave a seven-character couplet every few days and order me to answer. My sister has spent a lot of trouble getting me into the academy, and I still treat it as my own. I don't like being dull, and I dare not tell my family members, for fear that my parents will be sad and worry about me."

Zhengde's third senior brother couldn't help beating his heart when he saw that the courtyard was full of Xing family members who were almost looking at him with fire-breathing eyes.

He doubted his master's approach at the beginning. He was not the most talented among his brothers, but he was the hardest one.Logically speaking, if the master doesn't have the energy to bring Zhengde, he can call the second or fifth brother to come.One of them is in charge of the academy, and the other's status in the literary world is comparable to that of Princess Fu's father, and they often go to the palace to give lectures to several princes.The master shouldn't ask him to teach Zhengde at all.

Now listening to Zhengde venting his dissatisfaction, the third senior brother also uneasy doubted the master's actions.
Mr. Bai made a lot of noise here, and Song Lian got the news from somewhere, so he rushed to Fengwei Hutong after the court.Seeing people confronting each other in the yard, they hurriedly pulled Mr. Bai: "I have prepared good tea in my mansion. It is the big red robe that the emperor rewarded me. I don't want to use it. I just wait for you to come back to treat you!"

If it was someone else, maybe they would follow Song Lian's words downhill. Who said that Song Lian's official title is too big, and he is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials?It's really a big deal to ask the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to persuade the fight in person.

It's a pity that Mr. Bai is notorious for not being able to read people's faces. He tossed his sleeves and almost failed to overthrow Song Lian to the ground.Even more viciously said: "You will be a good person, you can clean up this mess!"

After speaking, he led a large group of people out of the Xing Mansion in embarrassment.

Song Lian looked at Xing Zhong and Lu Shi and smiled wryly: "I have something to tell you." The husband and wife looked at each other, and led Song Lian into the main hall to hide their anxiety.

Song Lian took half a sip of tea in displeasure, and for a while he didn't know how to talk to his husband and wife.

The emperor is so embarrassing, but this kind of thing happened to him again.Song Lian couldn't help cursing inwardly: Xiaozong, Xiaozong, a group of people hired by your romantic debts will clean up for you, and they are not afraid that the unofficial history a hundred years later will write about you indiscriminately!

Xing Zhong looked at Song Lian anxiously: "Master Shangshu, I wonder what you want to say to our husband and wife?"

"Hey, Mr. Xing, let's open the skylight and speak honestly. After the morning court, His Majesty announced that I went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, for no other reason than as Young Master Zhengde." Song Lian said lightly: "Your Majesty has made up his mind to recognize Young Master Zhengde .It is not a adopted son or an adopted son, but a legitimate royal bloodline. Your majesty is wise, and the fifth prince born to the nobleman of Song Dynasty will be followed by one, and from now on, Mr. Zhengde will be the real fifth prince."

Although Xing Zhong guessed that it would end like this, he couldn't hide his sadness at all.Lu Shi even sobbed softly.

Song Lian looked embarrassed: "Lord Xing and Mrs. Xing don't need to be sad, this is the blessing of the Fifth Prince. Your Majesty thinks of His Highness wholeheartedly, and in order to stop everyone's mouth, so he made up a story. It only said that the Fifth Prince was born. At that time, the national teacher made a fortune, saying that the child must be raised in an ordinary family until he is six years old to be safe for life. Now that he has passed the age, the disaster has been broken, and the disaster has been eliminated, so he was taken back to the palace."

Seeing that his husband and wife were silent, Song Lian assumed that he had accepted this excuse.After thinking about it, Song Lian still smiled and said with difficulty: "It's just that I have to wrong Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Xing."

Xing Zhong and Lu looked at Song Lian anxiously.

Song Lian laughed dryly: "Long live means that the family that fosters the Fifth Prince should be the real grandparent's family of His Highness."

The couple stared blankly at Song Lian, puzzled.

"Cough," Song Lian cleared his throat, "The emperor feels guilty about the fifth prince's biological mother, so he hopes to make up for it through His Highness. The Ouyang family in Yangzhou has produced dozens of Jinshi, and they have a good reputation in the south of the Yangtze River. If it is declared , the Fifth Prince grew up in such a family, and it is of great benefit to His Highness, to the court, and of course, to Lord Xing."

After all, Xiaozong didn't like the reputation of the Xing family in the past, or perhaps, there was Mr. Bai's contribution to the flames.

Xing Zhong and Lu's faces were ashen, Song Lian couldn't sit still, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Now the Ouyang family has sent their eldest son, His Royal Highness's uncle, to the capital. It is not good to delay this kind of thing , When all the Ouyang family members arrive, the emperor will officially prepare to ask His Highness to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan. Lord Xing and Mrs. Xing also packed His Highness’s things earlier, so if you have anything to say, let’s take this opportunity to say it!”

Song Lian put down his words and hurriedly slipped away.

Lu Shi stared at the gate for a long time with staring eyes, and was so angry that he let out an "ah" and was speechless.Xiuyan and Daiyu feared that something might happen to her, so they hurriedly supported Lu Shi back to the backyard to rest.

Lu Shi was lying on the bed, her eyes were staring out of focus, she didn't cry or make noise, but Xiuyan was worried, feeling that something big was going to happen.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night that night, Lu's stomach ached, and his lower body was faintly red.Thanks to Xiuyan's preparations in advance, she was afraid that her mother would be an elderly woman, so she prepared two doctors who knew gynecology to take care of her in the mansion.The two women were very experienced, so they hurriedly administered the acupuncture, and asked the little maid to cook the decoction to prevent miscarriage.

The turmoil lasted until it was almost dawn, and Lu's condition gradually improved. When Xiuyan and Daiyu finally took a breath, they found that Zhengde had disappeared.

After asking all over the mansion, it was the woman on the corner gate in the back garden who came back and forth, saying that she just saw Master Zhengde riding out with Master Wang and the little brother of the Wang family.

Xiuyan hastily sent the housekeeper to chase after him, but the back door is connected to Minxiang, and after leaving this alley, it leads in all directions, who can predict where the three of them will go!

Not to mention how flustered the Xing family was, but Zhengde was so bold that he brought Master Wang straight to Shenwumen.The imperial guards guarding the gate saw a small man on a tall horse, and his clothes were second to none, but the majesty of his body was even incomparable to that of the eldest prince!

"Hey! You little baby, you got off your horse when you arrived at Shenwumen?"

Zhengde didn't listen at all, he just took the reins of the horse, looked down from top to bottom and said: "I want to see Your Majesty, please inform me immediately!"
