The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 185

It is said that Jia Cong coaxed the two princes in one trip, and returned to the Taiping Escort happily.I saw Jia Huan sitting in the yard eating snacks with his cheeks on his sad face, while Yao'er was reading a book peacefully beside him, and asked with a smile, "Have those two great gods left?"

Jia Huan pouted: "I don't know what to say in there, and I even called. I don't know if the desks and chairs in our study are hurt."

Jia Cong stood outside the door and yelled, "Sister Sangu, have you two finished arguing?"

Sangu Qin came out from inside, and said calmly: "We are all adults, why did we quarrel? Do you think you are a child?"

Jia Cong stepped forward and rolled his eyes: "Treasurer Qin San said, what are we martial arts practitioners arguing about? Just fight. A gentleman doesn't move his hands."

Third Aunt Qin couldn't help poking his finger, and asked, "How is King Ning's Mansion?"

Jia Cong twitched the corners of his mouth: "King Ning simply locked him in the barracks! Brother Xian Wang is like a piece of soft tofu lifted on a frying pan, it will fall if you touch it."

Jia Huan couldn't help laughing.

Qin Sangu glared at him: "I know! It's not like I haven't been there before. You didn't order anything new?"

Jia Cong said: "What's new is that I spent half a day talking with Brother Xian Wang to coax him to coax King Ning. I don't know if he is willing to go or if he can be coaxed."

Qin Sangu frowned: "So there is no other way?"

Jia Cong waved his hands again and again: "My sister! The door of his house is long. There are guns, knives, axes, archers, everything. If you move around a little, it will really fall into the frying pan. I have never seen such a foolish way of guarding people." Said Stepping into the house.

I saw Feng Ziying sitting on the chair with her head sullen, her hair in a crooked bun.Jia Cong looked back at Third Aunt Qin's neatly combed hair, and sighed, "Brother Feng, you have lost again."

Feng Ziying raised her head: "How is your lord?"

Jia Cong sat down and said, "I can't get him out, so I advise him to return to King Shunning."

Feng Ziying looked at him for a moment, and said, "Since you don't respect saints, how can you respect King Ning again?"

Jia Cong said: "Isn't it necessary to get Brother Xian Wang to come out now? Since he can't be rescued, he can only get out first. After he comes out, he can do something else. Otherwise, what's the use of keeping him locked up? Besides, King Ning is no more. I just want to be the king of Shu, not the emperor."

Feng Ziying shook her head and said nothing.

Jia Cong turned to look at Qin Sangu: "What are you two arguing about? Why does Brother Feng seem to be listless?"

Qin Sangu said: "It's nothing, he won't be happy if he loses."

Jia Cong smirked and said, "There's no such thing as a person who has never won." He glanced at the two of them again, seeing Qin Sangu's heroic spirit and Feng Ziying's gloomy speechless, so he guessed that they would never leave. Ten, looked at Feng Ziying and said, "Brother Feng, don't worry, I think Brother Xian Wang is in a good mood, not thin, and still in the mood to write poems. He is so smart, maybe he can think of himself in two days." Come out. It's useless for you to be anxious. You won't get annoyed if you say a word, you're not as capable as him, and it's not your turn to save him."

Feng Ziying said in a low voice: "It's all about fulfilling the duties of the subordinates."

Jia Cong said: "The responsibility of the subordinate is that you do whatever he assigns to you. Don't care about others. He should think about it for himself. He is not a saint!"

Qin Sangu glanced at him, and hurriedly said, "What about a saint?"

Jia Cong laughed secretly in his heart, and sang softly: "The sage's ability is mediocre, and it all depends on the people below him to help him." He clicked his tongue twice, "Working for him must be very tiring, and I don't know if the salary will be increased."

Qin Sangu gave him a look with a smile: "Nonsense!"

Jia Cong stretched his waist: "When the world is peaceful in the future, I will go to the brother's mansion of the virtuous king to be a staff member. It will save trouble and don't have to worry about being with the king like a tiger. If you don't keep the salary he gives, you will have more."

Feng Ziying said: "The virtuous king also works for the saint."

Jia Cong said: "Then it has nothing to do with me. I don't know if the saint can come back; if he can't come back, which of these princes will be superior. Or just draw lots."

Feng Ziying hurriedly shouted: "Don't talk nonsense! People will not cut your tongue if they hear it."

Jia Cong said: "Don't tell me if I don't talk about others? I don't know how many people are talking about it. The more powerful people are probably betting on it. I just don't know that the little emperor may be able to suppress these princes. They are all fuel-efficient. It’s not uncommon for an uncle to sit on it one day.”

Feng Ziying was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "Then the world will be in chaos."

Jia Cong said: "No. These princes are quite capable, and the one who can go up must be the most capable one. The world will definitely not be chaotic. Li Shimin killed his brother at the Xuanwu Gate and imprisoned his father in Da'an Palace. Zhu Di simply killed his nephew. After coming to power, aren’t they all wise emperors through the ages? The common people don’t care how the emperor got up, whether it was reasonable and legal, or whether he did bad things to the previous one, they only care about how he governs the country. Whether the world is safe or not depends on the people, not the king. As long as he doesn’t move Common people, it doesn't matter how the emperor's house wants to play."

Qin Sangu clapped her hands: "Good boy! I also understand this matter, but I just can't say it. Sure enough, scholars are better."

Jia Cong made a grimace, and then said: "Actually, it doesn't even matter whether the emperor is the emperor or not. Look at what the emperor did when Zhang Ju was in power? What kind of carpenter emperor made alchemy emperor. Since the world is mediocre today, if we can make all kinds of It's not bad to leave everything to Brother Xian Wang for disposal. I don't know if he is willing or not."

Qin Sangu interjected: "Of course I don't want to. He has been suppressed by the late Emperor for so many years."

Jia Cong shrugged, and said with a smile: "Why do I think that Sangu, a market woman, can see things about the court monarch more clearly than Brother Feng? Is this what a bystander can see?"

Third Aunt Qin smiled sweetly and glanced at Feng Ziying.Feng Ziying's face was uncertain.Jia Cong and Qin Sangu talked about something else and stopped talking about it.For a while, the two of them said their goodbyes, and today's business will be put aside for the time being.

After waiting for several days, Situ Pan was not released, so Jia Cong sent people to Ning Wang's mansion to inquire.King Ning ordered someone to tell him: "Lao Jiu has something very important in his hand, but he refuses to take it out."

Jia Cong thought for a while, probably the most important thing at this moment is the tiger talisman.This thing is definitely not on Situ Pan; since King Ning wanted it, he probably searched King Xian's mansion.I just don't know where it will be hidden.

But at this moment, something far-fetched came to my door.Xue Baoqin promised to give Mei Hanlin's son a long time ago, and she was planning to get married when she came to Beijing.Although she had heard that the Mei family was somewhat snobbish, Aunt Xue thought that the matter would be fine because the Xue family's business has been doing very well in recent years.I don't want them to suddenly send people to withdraw their marriage today, and they don't make any sense.Because the Xue family is now living in a small courtyard of the Taiping Escort, and Xue Pan is not there, Aunt Xue has no idea what to do, so she went straight to the Jia brothers.

When Jia Cong heard that he was "Mei Hanlin's son," he turned around and asked Jia Huan, "Are there many families named Mei in Beijing?"

Jia Huan was stunned: "How do I know? How about I go and see?"

Jia Cong nodded quickly: "Look, what if it's such a coincidence?" He was amused.This time Liu Xianglian was married, even if Xue Baoqin wasn't by Mei's side, she couldn't be by Liu's side anymore.

In the name of relatives, Jia Huan accompanied Xue Biao to Mei Hanlin's house to ask for an explanation.Going into the study and looking around, it was really Mr. Mei who had eaten snacks for a few days, stood up from the chair and bowed to him: "Mr. Jia."

Jia Huan's mind was suddenly full of thoughts, and he said to Xue Biao, "Second Brother Xue, I know this Mr. Mei. Why don't you discuss with Mr. Mei first, and I will go outside to talk with Mr. Mei?"

Knowing that he had some reputation among scholars, Xue Biao thought that he had an acquaintance to talk to, so he hurriedly said, "Please do as you please."

Mr. Mei smiled and bowed to Xue Biao, and went out with Jia Huan.

After walking a few steps outside, seeing no one around, Jia Huan first said, "I'm a bit confused. You are involved with the two princes. One went to Shandong to be a puppet, and the other disappeared. I really don't know." Lord Taiwang."

Mr. Mei said with a wry smile: "Therefore, I'm afraid that my bad character will make Miss Xue tired, so I hereby withdraw my engagement."

Jia Huan glanced at him: "Is it okay to say something that people can understand? What is it for? Even if you scholars look down on their family as a merchant, you won't be able to last for a few days. This day is too coincidental A little bit."

Mr. Mei said earnestly: "I had a few sets of words to fool you, but I don't want to coax Mr. Jia at the moment. The reason for retiring is because the Seventh Prince has disappeared."

Jia Huan said: "The disappearance of the Seventh Prince has nothing to do with your marriage. Don't you get married if he disappears?"

Mr. Mei said: "This marriage was arranged by my grandfather, and my parents are not very satisfied. My grandfather went to the elderly two years ago, and the two of them immediately intend to withdraw from the marriage. But at that time, Xue's family started to make seafood. Immediately became richer. My father wanted money to support the Seventh Prince, and marrying the Xue family was beneficial, so he did not retire. But now the Seventh Prince is gone."

Jia Huan nodded when he heard the words: "That makes sense."

Mr. Mei said: "Mr. Jia, don't you think my Mei family has no faith?"

Jia Huan said: "The most important thing in marriage is harmony and beauty. What's the use of faith? Now Miss Xue's family should thank the Seventh Prince. Otherwise, she will not be able to benefit the Seventh Prince after marrying into your family. Life will be impossible. "

Mr. Mei raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Can't you benefit the Seventh Prince?"

Jia Huan said: "Not everyone with the surname Xue can benefit from the Xue family. The Xue family's property, the big brother Xue is outside, and the big sister Xue is in Beijing. The little brother of the Xue family is just helping to run errands; I would rather give it to the big house The girl in charge never gave it to him."

Mr. Mei let out an "ah" and said in surprise, "I didn't expect this section."

Jia Huan said: "Don't put your ideas on Big Sister Xue. Let me put it here first, the Xue family's money will not be given away."

Mr. Mei said: "I heard that Miss Xue is not young."

Jia Huan said: "Yes. She doesn't know how to marry, and she will definitely have a wife in the future."

Mr. Mei said contemptuously: "Whoever is willing to step in the door can be a good person."

Jia Huan said: "It's as long as she looks pleasing to the eye. She is the head of the house anyway. It's just to marry a soft-tempered and handsome son-in-law; it's not to marry a man who supports appearance."

Mr. Mei had a strange expression on his face, and he said after a long time, "This...isn't this a Hedong lion?"

Jia Huan wondered: "How could it be the Hedong lion? The Hedong lion is Chen Zhen's wife, and Chen Zhen's wife also eats Chen Zhen and wears Chen Zhen. It is different from Big Sister Xue."

Mr. Mei was speechless for a while, and said: "That man is a softie."

Jia Huan thought for a while and said, "Perhaps Big Sister Xue won't let him just eat and not work, he has to settle accounts and run errands."

Mr. Mei became more and more speechless.The two clearly wanted to ask each other a lot, but it was inconvenient to say more, so they exchanged a few words and went back.

Jia Huan went into Mei's study again. Although he didn't know what Mei Hanlin had said to Xue Biao, he was quite annoyed by Xue Biao's appearance, so he hurriedly dragged him away.Mr. Mei sent them out of the mansion, but Xue Biao only looked at him with a cold face.After the two of them got on the horse, Mr. Mei seemed to have something to say, so he finally bowed to say goodbye.

When they got off the horse at the entrance of the Escort Bureau, Jia Huan hurriedly pulled Xue Biao and said, "Don't be angry! What Mei Hanlin gave you is probably an excuse, it's not worthwhile to get angry!"

Xue Biao hurriedly asked: "What did you say on the other side?"

Jia Huan walked hurriedly and whispered what Mr. Mei had said. "If you lose money, you have to retire, otherwise Miss Xue won't be long after she gets married. I'm afraid she will find some excuse to divorce and come back."

Xue scorpion was dumbfounded!It took a long time to say: "Looking at it this way, it's luck that my sister quit this relationship!"

Jia Huan said: "Isn't it? They don't want to marry a virtuous and intelligent daughter-in-law at all, they just want to get a gold mine for nothing. As the saying goes, greed is not enough to swallow an elephant. Even if you move Xue's warehouse to them They may not be satisfied either.”

Xue scorpion laughed back angrily: "Dream his spring and autumn dream in broad daylight!" Flicking his sleeves, he strode back to Xue's yard.

Jia Huan stood there and watched him disappear, and hurried inside to tell Jia Cong and others about the matter, then asked Gong Sanyi: "Sir, do you think that Mr. Mei is telling the truth?"

Gong San also smiled and said: "Obviously it's an excuse. It's just that it's not easy to use ordinary excuses to fool you, so they thought about it. It's definitely not true because the Seventh Prince is now being raised in Rongguo Mansion. It's just me I can't think of the reason for a moment." Nai asked Jia Cong.

Jia Cong said: "Is it possible that Mr. Mei has other marriages to get married-hey, this person is also very pitiful. Miss Xue is very nice, talented and beautiful. Fortunately, she is not very old, so I will find another one. Marriage is not difficult."

Gong San also sighed: "In such a chaotic situation now, her status is neither high nor low, and it is not easy to find another good match."

Suddenly Liu Aiyun came over to ask Jia Huan how the Mei family was doing.Jia Huan then recounted what happened today, and said: "It's quite unusual that Mr. Mei once served as an aide to the eldest prince, but he secretly wanted to help the seventh prince. I don't think he looks like a fool when he talks. , Mr. Gong also said that what he said was an excuse, maybe there is something weird behind it. This marriage has returned very well."

Liu Aiyun nodded and said, "I see." She said goodbye and left.

Jia Huan had known him for a long time, and knew that this man was generous and courteous on the surface, but in fact he was not serious, so he chased him a few steps forward: "Brother Liu, if you want to take revenge on their family, be careful, I'm afraid there may be other reasons." , don’t act recklessly. If you don’t want to wait, we’ll check first and then we’ll talk.”

Liu Aiyun turned back to him and said indifferently: "Who said I want to take revenge on his family?"

Jia Huan quickly waved his hands: "I didn't say anything."

Liu Aiyun withdrew and went back, saying, "Tell me when you get the letter."

Jia Huan hurriedly answered "Yes".When Liu Aiyun walked a little farther, he shouted from behind, "A sister-in-law is like a mother—" After shouting, he ran away, laughing loudly.

Liu Aiyun didn't look back at all, and left on her own.
