The King of Beijing in the Red Mansion

Faced with this hard-to-answer matter, I had no choice but to blame Yuanchun. I felt wronged, and I would make a proper apology when I returned to Beijing.

Wait, Zhen Hua is pregnant, how do you explain this? After all, Hua'er did not consummate her marriage with Jia Rong.

At present, everything seems to be business as usual, and nothing happened. It seems that Jia Rong was frightened and did not let the matter spread.

Thinking of this, Shui Rong felt that he should return to Beijing as soon as possible to deal with the follow-up. If the matter got out, it would be difficult for everyone.

There is no way around it. This is the risk of not being able to control your stuff.

"Ah sneeze."

A sneeze interrupted Shui Rong's thinking. Zhen Xin's pretty face turned slightly red, her nose twitched and she lowered her head and said, "Cousin, I'm sorry, little sister."

Shui Rong groaned and said, "It's windy on the river, so it's better to be more careful. It's getting late. If my cousin is fine, it's best to go back and rest early."

At this point, Shui Rong was not in the mood to chat.

Zhen Xin's face turned pale when she heard this, and she felt a little annoyed. She had mentioned the matter of her son before, and seeing that her cousin was in a bad mood, she wanted to change the subject, but she still felt depressed after seeing his appearance.

Alas, if she had known this, she would not have said this more, which would have ruined the harmony and tranquility.

Pursing her pink lips, Zhen Xin looked at the young man with a pretty face and said, "Well, little sister, listen to my cousin."

Shui Rong nodded, and the two of them walked towards the cabin again. They were crossing a threshold. Maybe Zhen Xin didn't pay attention for a moment, or maybe she was hiding something in her heart. Her feet were unsteady and she tripped over the threshold. She just heard The girl exclaimed, and her light body fell straight down.

Seeing this, Shui Rong reached out with quick eyes and hands to grab the person, and took him into his arms smoothly. The soft fragrance came into his arms, and a fragrant aroma hit his nostrils, and his mind wandered for a while.

Lowering his eyes and looking at the girl whose pretty face had lost some of her color, Shui Rong asked, "Sister Xin'er, are you okay?"

"I...I'm fine." Zhen Xin lowered her eyebrows, pursed her pink lips, and said tremblingly, as if she was a little scared.

Shui Rong didn't say anything when he heard this. He helped the person up, took back the hand that fell on Liu's waist, and gently warned: "Sister Xin'er, you should be careful when walking, don't stumble again."

This trip was really inexplicable, and it seemed like a fall on the ground. If it weren't for his quick eyesight and quick hands, he might have fallen onto the deck.

Just as Zhen Xin stood firm, she suddenly said "Ouch", her bright eyes filled with mist, and said aggrievedly: "Cousin, my feet hurt."

Shui Rong stared at the girl's right foot that was being weighed, and frowned slightly. A sparkle flashed in his eyes as he looked at the girl, and Zhanran said: "I think it's because my ankle is sprained. It's nothing serious. I'll help you into the house first." "

When Zhen Xin heard this, a blush appeared on her cheeks. She said softly, "Hmm," and said softly, "Thank you, cousin."

Shui Rong smiled and said nothing. He had doubts before, but now he was sure that Zhen Xin's intentions were impure. Otherwise, how could a good girl let him help her into the cabin?

However, Shui Rong didn't expose it and helped the girl walk towards the cabin.

After entering the cabin and helping Zhen Xin onto the bed, he said in a gentle tone: "Sister Xin'er, if you are still feeling unwell, let the doctor take a look at you."

Although he was on a big ship, Shui Rong took the doctor with him just in case, just in case something went wrong.

This sprained foot may seem like a trivial matter, but for my daughter's family, who is very fragile, a slight bump can cause serious damage to her muscles and bones, so it is better to be more serious and ask the doctor to come and take a look.

A girl's touch often comes from her carelessness.

At this moment, Zhen Xin looked at the young man with her beautiful eyes. As her second sister said, he was a gentle and considerate gentleman. Her heart was filled with a hint of sweetness. She blinked and said softly: "Cousin, my little sister is much better now. There is no need." Ask the doctor to come and rest for two days."

Jade feet are a private matter of the daughter's family and cannot be observed by ordinary people, even by doctors. The so-called tabooing of illnesses is nothing more than this.

Honor and integrity are greater than life, and water is irrefutable. You should respect what should be respected. He stared at the girl on the couch and said softly: "Cousin Xin'er, please rest first. I will go back first."

When Zhen Xin heard the words, she raised her head and looked at Shui Rong with her beautiful eyes. There seemed to be a hint of resentment between her brows. She bit her lip and asked with mist in her crystal clear eyes: "Cousin, will my father know? What's the crime?"

Upon hearing this, Shui Rong felt sure that Zhen Xin was doing this for her father's sake, but it was understandable. After all, he was her father, so how could she just sit idly by and ignore it.

Having said that, it has nothing to do with water dissolution.

"Sister Xin'er, your father's greed for money is a capital crime according to Daqian law." Shui Rong said calmly.

When Zhen Xin heard this, her face suddenly turned pale, tears couldn't stop falling down her soft face, and she choked with sobs: "Cousin, my father broke the law and deserves to be punished, but as a woman, how can he ignore it? The younger sister has nothing to ask for, she just hopes that her father can survive. "

Shui Rong stared at the girl with pear blossoms and rain in front of him, and said calmly: "Sister Xin'er, I have reported this matter to the court. It is up to the court to decide how to convict. I cannot intervene."

He understood what Zhen Xin meant. There was nothing to show mercy to people who dared to make a fortune. It was a good thing that Shui Rong didn't take action directly.

And if we really want to talk about it, the crime Zhen Tiren committed was not only a capital crime, but also ransacked his home and put his female relatives into the Jiaofang Department.

Sister Xin'er, I wonder if you still want to go to Jiaofangsi.

Of course, Shui Rong just thought about it casually. After all, the old concubine was still alive. Even if Zhen Tiren was sentenced to death, the female family members would not be allowed to join the Jiaofang Division.

Most likely, Zhen Tiren took care of everything on his own without harming his family.

When Zhen Xin heard this, her face turned pale, and her light body seemed like a swaying willow. If it weren't for the maid's support, she would have fallen down. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start.

Should I beg my cousin on my knees and say that I am willing to work as a cow or a horse to repay my cousin for his life?

"Cousin, if the Zhen family is willing to pay the price, is there no other way?" Zhen Xin looked at Shui Rong expectantly with a pair of mist-filled face, and asked.

Shui Rong was silent for a while, and then Zhan Ran said: "The matter has reached this point, we can only leave it to fate. It is impossible to say whether the Holy Spirit will show mercy."

Greeding money and donating food to charity is a death penalty in theory, but for the powerful and powerful, there is no room for maneuver. After all, this is a feudal dynasty, and it is not up to the emperor to decide whether to commit a death penalty.

To be honest, Shui Rong was not sure about Zhen Tiren's life or death. Who allowed the Zhen family to have an old concubine? Moreover, the Emperor's several southern tours were hosted by the Zhen family. This kind of friendship could also be sold as a favor to the Emperor.

It's hard to believe that the Supreme Emperor will summon him again when he returns to the capital.

The only thing that can be determined is that Zhen Tiren was at least exiled, otherwise he would not be able to explain himself to the world.

When Zhen Xin heard this, she felt bitter in her heart. She didn't know that all she had to do was be merciful, but it was so easy.

When Shui Rong saw this, he didn't say much. He gave instructions to the maid and exited the cabin. He didn't care about the treatment of the Zhen family. These matters were decided by Emperor Yongkang, and Duke Ning's palace was Shui Rong's target.

Walking along the corridor, Shui Rong thought about the third lady of the Zhen family. She was really good-looking, not inferior to the girls from the Jia family. In terms of well-behavedness, she had a somewhat painterly character, but her "innocence" was far from it. .

In short, she is still a pretty, well-behaved and innocent sweetheart cousin, just like a pure white lotus.

"Creak" sound.

Shui Rong was walking along the corridor when he suddenly remembered the sound of the door opening. He saw Zhen Feng pushing the door open and going out, her face slightly startled.

Zhen Feng looked at the young man in front of her, her heart trembled slightly, her plump face warmed slightly, and she saluted, "I have met the prince."

Since that day, Zhen Feng's "light cough" while chatting under the window that day always appeared in her mind, which made her suffer from insomnia. Therefore, Zhen Feng deliberately avoided water as much as possible.

Shui Rong stared at the unnatural look on the beauty's face and understood it in his heart. He didn't want to make fun of this nearly widowed beauty. He nodded and walked towards his cabin.

Zhen Feng looked at the young man's indifferent expression, and for some reason, a trace of disappointment surged deep in her heart. She knew that the young man must know the reason, but why did she turn a blind eye?

Do you not care at all, or do you do it deliberately?

Shaking her head, Zhen Feng gave a bitter smile. Why was she thinking about all those nonsense? She was really crazy.

Chapter 338 Daiyu: I’m afraid she’s not my lover’s sister.

In winter, waves of cold air add a layer of filter to the ancient city of Suzhou, making it more graceful. The houses on both sides of the narrow streets are all covered with gray tiles and white walls, and the white walls serve as canvases. The branches are spreading, and the fiery red persimmons and golden ginkgo are swaying in the wind, which is charming.

The ancestral residence of the Lin family, the fragrant boudoir in the inner courtyard.

The hollow copper three-legged stove with clover pattern has already lit up the charcoal fire, and the heat spreads around the incense boudoir, making the room warm like spring. The remaining smoke from the three-legged animal stove on the table is curling up, diluting the smoky smell in the room.

Tan Chun wore a pink-based long coat embroidered with red petunia branches and a cross-collar collar, and a white pleated skirt. She exuded a warm and free atmosphere. With a pair of clear and bright eyes, she looked at the girl sitting opposite her, covering her mouth and coughing lightly. Yingmei saw some worry and said with concern: "Sister Lin, are you okay?"

Daiyu was wearing a white silk jacket with a vertical collar and a side-breasted pattern of bamboo leaves, and a light purple skirt with sweetheart collar and embroidered plum blossoms. It was elegant and chic. When she heard the words of exploring spring, a feeling of warmth surged in her heart, and she said softly: " It’s nothing, it’s an old problem.”

During the days when Fu Cong returned to Suzhou, thanks to Tanchun's careful company, although Daiyu felt sad, she was not half-sick to the point of death.

Tanchun was silent after hearing this. Since Lin Ruhai was buried, Daiyu has been full of sorrow. She can persuade her, but her heart ailments still need heart medicine. She has no choice but to comfort her as much as possible.

Pursing her pink lips, Tanchun said with a smile: "Sister Lin, I heard that the matter at my brother-in-law's place is almost over, so he will probably come over in the next two days."

Speaking of this, Tan Chunying's eyes filled with strange light.

After not seeing her brother-in-law for a while, the girl missed her brother-in-law very much. She couldn't think of anything but food and food, and her food was tasteless.

Not only Tanchun, Daiyu's beautiful eyes flashed, and a feeling of longing surged in her heart. Her father died of illness, and her soul was placed on this "brother". How could she not miss him.

I miss my brother.

At this time, Zijuan walked in with a smile and said excitedly: "Girl, guess who is coming?"

Hearing this, Daiyu glanced at this good and unruly sister angrily, and hummed, "Whoever you love comes to you, it has nothing to do with me."

On the other hand, Tan Chunying's eyes flashed, and she made some guesses. There was a bit of excitement on her pretty face, and she asked, "But brother-in-law is here?"

The only person who can make Zijuan so excited is her brother-in-law. If it were anyone else, she would have asked Brother Lian to handle it. Sister Lin has always been smart and clever, but she was confused at this time. She was really worried.

When Daiyu heard this, a flash of light flashed through her beautiful eyes, and her heart trembled. The affectionate eyes under Liuye's slender eyebrows looked directly at Zicuckoo, who was smiling sweetly, with a vague intention of questioning.

Is my brother really here?

Zicuckoo smiled and replied: "It's the prince, coming here now."

Both of them were overjoyed when they heard this, and looked out of the room with bright eyes, their brows filled with joy.

After a while, the curtain was lifted, and the gentle figure stepped in, making the two of them overjoyed.

Tan Chunfang was so happy that she stood up to greet him. She looked at the young man affectionately with her bright British eyes, and said with excitement in her hearty voice: "Brother-in-law, you are here."

Although it is human nature to accompany Daiyu, the young man still has a trace of resentment in his heart since he hasn't even written a letter since they parted ways, as if she is just a tool.

Shui Rong stared at the pretty girl in front of him, and felt much better. He reached out and pinched the girl's soft face, and said in a doting tone: "I'll pick up the third girl after I finish my work."

After saying that, Shui Rong raised his eyes to look at Daiyu, seeing the fair complexion on her face, and asked with concern: "How is your life in Gusu?"

Listening to the young man's caring tone, Daiyu's passionate eyes were filled with a layer of moisture. She wiped the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief, nodded lightly and said, "Everything is well, little sister. I have my brother's concern."

When Shui Rong saw this, he was already used to it. Daiyu was a very emotional girl and would easily shed tears if she was given a little care. That was not the case now.

Alas, after all, a daughter is made of water, but she sheds a lot of tears.

Nodding, Shui Rong said softly: "That's good."

Daiyu was startled and looked at the young man with her head raised, her bright eyes like mist blinking.

That's it. How come the third girl pinches her cheeks to show her closeness, and only speaks lightly to her? Sure enough, I am not as interesting as my third sister. After all, my brother does not care about me.

Shui Rong didn't know the resentment in the girl's heart. He looked at the two delicate jade faces in front of him and said with a smile: "By the way, Bao Yatou's uncles, brothers and cousins ​​are here. They are in the flower hall now. Do you want to go and meet them?" See?"

This time Shui Rong came to the Lin family's residence, and he brought the Xue family brothers and sisters with him. Zhen Xin had a sprained foot and stayed on the ship. The Zhen family's wife accompanied her. Zhen Feng sent a few guards to escort her back to the Feng family and to the temple where Zhen Shiyin became a monk. Settle personal matters.

However, this is Daiyu's boudoir, and it is not suitable for outsiders to enter at will, especially Xue Biao.

When she heard about uncles and brothers, Daiyu's eyebrows drooped, her delicate jade face filled with sadness, and she clutched the embroidered handkerchief in her hand without saying a word.

Tan Chun heard this, his eyes brightened slightly, and he asked loudly: "How come they followed their brother-in-law here."

Shui Rong didn't hide anything, and said with a smile: "Aunt Xue's family is not planning to settle in Beijing. They are preparing to go to Beijing to celebrate their move, so they came together on a boat."
