The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 584

Liu Xiaoqi flirts with Ding Chu with words.That day when Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin returned from Qin to the south, they also asked Gong Sanyi why Ding Chu went to assist the King of Qin.Gong San also said slowly: "He wants to go by himself. It's not my son, I can't stop him, right?" Thinking about it with his toes, he knew that the old man had played tricks.But he is so old, what else can he do if he doesn't say it?Jia Cong and others guessed for a long time but failed to guess.Therefore, Liu Xiaoqi will give him a try today.

Ding Chu's face changed when he saw his heart fluttering.After a long time, he looked at Liu Xiaoqi and said, "I heard that you do all kinds of business?"

Liu Xiaoqi smiled sweetly: "I can do any kind of business, and I'm not afraid of ghosts and gods."

Ding Chu said: "I want to inquire about a person's whereabouts."

Liu Xiaoqi frowned: "If it's an ordinary person, it's not easy. Because there are too many ordinary people these days, even if someone has seen him, they may not remember him."

"Unusual." Ding Chu said, "And I heard that she is in Qin State."

"Men, women, children?"

Ding Chu hesitated for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice, "A young woman."

"is it beautiful?"

"pretty."

Liu Xiaoqi immediately made a good guess in his belly, pinched his chin and said, "Beauties are easy to be hidden in the golden house, and they are easy to get caught in the harem fights, which is harder to find than ordinary girls. Mrs. Ding must also It took a lot of work. I dare not say that it will be found; if it is found, it will not be cheap."

Ding Chu heard him say at first that ordinary girls are hard to find, and later that beauties are harder to find than ordinary women, and was about to stop him, when he heard the last sentence, he immediately said, "The price is negotiable."

Liu Xiaoqi's face suddenly bloomed like a flower: "Master Ding, don't worry, there is no news that cannot be obtained with money!"

Ding Chu cursed inwardly, "Keep your eyes open when you see money", and hope rose again: those who are greedy for money are indeed more reliable than those who are greedy for sex and fame.Then he described in detail the appearance of his daughter-in-law Ma Xiangzhu, and how she disappeared.Liu Xiaoqi thought about it: "I lost it in Lingnan Hong Kong. There is a port, and there are ships going anywhere."

Ding Chu said: "A few years ago, I got news that she seemed to have been sold to Qin."

Liu Xiaoqi said: "Most of the stunning ones will be sent to the nobleman's house. There are many powerful people in Qin State, and I don't know how many people have been locked up in the backyard." He ordered Dong Yu to paint the portrait of Mrs. Ma.

Ding Chu said: "I draw it myself!"

Jia Gui ran to the back to get the pen and paper, and Ding Chu took it with a wave.The woman in the painting really looks like a moon-shame flower, Liu Xiaoqi couldn't help praising: "What a beauty! If I were to give a gift, I would be reluctant to give it to an ordinary dignitary. I will check it from the mansion surnamed Situ."

Jia Gui also poked his head to look at it for a long time, and said, "There is a dumb concubine who is beautiful and favored in someone's house, won't there be news about it?"

"The matter of the back house is rarely spread out." Liu Xiaoqi said, "let alone the nobleman's residence."

Jia Gui thought: "But there is a certain kind of people who must know."

Ding Chu hurriedly asked, "Who?"

"Eldest Wife." Jia Gui said, "Who is favored in Qin Wang's mansion, Princess Qin must know. Who is favored in Shizi's Mansion, Shizi Concubine must know. Even if it is a fan, a widow, or a concubine who is raised outside, the eldest wife generally does not know who is favored. I know. Whether you can do anything to your husband and concubines is another matter, they are much more well-informed than ordinary concubines."

Liu Xiaoqi frowned and said, "It will take some time. We don't have many people in the inner house."

Ding Chu wondered: "Your S.H.I.E.L.D. is so elusive, will there be no one in the inner house?"

Liu Xiaoqi said: "What kind of news can we get from the inner house? Even if there is, it is oblique. Women are women after all, not to mention that there are no women in Qin who are capable of politics."

Jia Gui hurriedly said: "When I was visiting the silver building yesterday, I met a sister of a concubine in the Shizi's mansion, and I helped her choose two pieces of jewelry." Nai tutted, "That girl is quite poor. I just thought about it." Now, can I rely on her to sneak into the Shizi's mansion and get to know the Shizi's concubine. I have a good tongue, and Gubao can coax her into a best friend. Then relying on the Shizifei to get to know other Qin's noble family members. It's better than slowly It’s easy to buy people in the backyards of various prefectures. I don’t know if the people who are buying are behind the masters, and whether the news is accurate.”

Liu Xiaoqi thought about it: "It's a way." Nai looked at Ding Chu and said, "Look, Mr. Ding, our asking price is definitely not random."

Ding Chu sneered: "I know. I have done business with you, and you are the one who asks the darkest price, and you are the one who asks the least about right and wrong."

"Ah?!" Liu Xiaoqi was taken aback, "Why don't I know?"

Ding Chu glanced at him: "Is there someone named Ah Hei among you?"

Jia Gui, Dong Yu were all at a loss, only Liu Xiaoqi rolled his eyes: "It turned out to be him... that guy must have taken it for himself."

Jia Gui couldn't help asking: "Who is it? Embezzling public funds?"

Liu Xiaoqi sighed helplessly: "Outsiders are the easiest to earn extra money. All the bosses turn a blind eye, what can I do."

Jia Gui frowned: "You are a leader anyway, don't you care?"

Liu Xiaoqi lazily said: "It's better for the county magistrate to take care of it now."

Although Ding Chu couldn't quite understand what he heard, he could vaguely sense the complex and intertwined inside of SHIELD, and couldn't help frowning.But in this way, he couldn't wholeheartedly investigate this group of people for King Qin.He shuddered, and murmured: "I understand." Everyone has selfish intentions, whether it is himself, the king of Qin and the other kings.The S.H.I.E.L.D. hooked him up in the name of helping him find out the whereabouts of Ma Shi. Not only was it inconvenient for him to fight against each other, he even had to help them.After all, as far as Ding Chu is concerned, the Ma family is much more important than the King of Qin.Nai said to Jia Gui, "It's not difficult for Miss Wang to get acquainted with the noble family of Qin. The officer can speak to the prince for the girl and ask the princess to summon the girl."

Jia Gui waved his hands again and again: "Don't. I look like an outstanding person. The biggest cover for making friends with nobles is my low status. If I recognize the princess, I am afraid that I will ring the alarm bells in the hearts of the big wives, thinking that I am targeting them Where are the men?"

Ding Chu thought it was true, and said: "Since that's the case, it's better to trouble the princess to help the girl secretly, than to deal with the girl alone."

"That's fine." Jia Gui said bluntly, "It's best to let her get rid of the wariness of the big wives early."

Ding Chu nodded.Now that the matter has come to this point, he has no way to tell the truth to King Qin, otherwise King Qin will have to kill this group of people.If the news of the Supreme Emperor is resold, what the world will be like, and what Jiangxi will be like.

As he was thinking about it, Liu Xiaoqi said with a smile on his face: "I know that Lord Ding is deeply trusted by King Qin, so he is not short of money. However, King Qin himself is quite short of money, how much can I give you? Lord Ding, people are not short of money." Everyone will be sorry for you, except money. When Lord Ding has figured it out, you can contact us at any time. We are not from other princes anyway, so even if you sell us news, it is not a betrayal of King Qin."

Ding Chu snorted coldly: "Little man!"

Liu Xiaoqi said with a chuckle: "The villain is not counted, and the profiteer's hat can barely be taken away."

Ding Chu was too lazy to say anything, just cupped his hands, and then looked down at the portrait of Ma Shi on the desk, with tears in his eyes.But he said goodbye and left.When he went out, Jia Gui let out a "hey": "This Lord Ding is still a seed of infatuation."

Sure enough, Ding Chu turned his head to meet the King of Qin, and said: "That Miss Wang suddenly bought a lot of jewelry, and also met the sister of the prince's side concubine. I wondered if she was trying to trick some highness, so I simply came to the door today. Asked. But she denied it flatly, saying that she had never met a noble family and was just curious. This statement is obviously not true, or is she trying to get in touch with someone? Why don't you just let her make trouble and see who she whispers and delivers letters to? My son." The King of Qin was most afraid of secret work in the backyard, so he immediately agreed.Ding Chu begged Princess Lao to help her.

Within a few days, Jia Gui became acquainted with the younger sister of the prince's side concubine, and followed her to a powerful mansion to watch a play.By the way, at the banquet, I met many noble ladies from Chang'an, and among them was the princess's handkerchief.Two days later, the imperial concubine invited Jia Gui to a banquet.Jia Gui was taken aback when he got the invitation: "It shouldn't be so fast!" Then he thought of Ding Chu, and he was afraid that this person could help.So happily strolled around Shizi's mansion.All the girls knew that she was very knowledgeable as she followed her elder brother all over the world, but her status was low, so they didn't pay much attention to her.Everyone loves to hear her talk about new things, but within half a day, Jia Gui has become acquainted with all the women.

Although I spent some days with Su Cheng in Jingzhou, this is the first time I have seen how noble ladies in Chang'an live.In addition to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it is clothing and jewelry, planting flowers and raising children, which is completely different from Jia Gui and his classmates in Taiwan.She touched her face and sighed softly: "This is the rice worm! How comfortable."

A girl listened to her muttering and asked with a smile, "What did Miss Wang say?"

Jia Gui pursed her lips: "I said that you are living a happy life, you don't have to worry about everything, and you don't need to read a lot, it's so relaxing."

Another girl said with a smile: "Miss Wang, why not marry and come to Chang'an and live a happy life, wouldn't it be good?"

Jia Gui shook his head: "No. Envy is envy, boredom is boredom. I will suffocate to death in the inner courtyard all year round." Nai pointed to the bird cage under the eaves and said, "Like that bird, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you don't have to worry about wind and rain. I'm afraid, but I can't fly." Everyone's face sank, but she went on to say, "If it's a wild sparrow, even though it has freedom, it will inevitably be caught by kites when it is not full, or it will be caught by kites in cold weather. Frozen to death in the snow. Both have pros and cons."

A side concubine of Cao in Shizi's mansion heard the words and sighed: "But I'm just a house sparrow, I can't stand the thunder and snow outside."

Jia Gui said, "As long as I don't regret it, that's fine."

Another female relative also sighed: "What if I regret it?"

Jia Gui blinked and thought to herself, they also have no right to choose, they all depend on luck to marry; it's better to be at home.Now that she made it clear that the chariots and horses were not going to marry in Chang'an, some people felt relieved and were less wary of her.

Jia Gui suddenly noticed that a girl had several layers of eyelids, and thought she looked good, so she stared at her for a long time.Everyone also found it interesting, they all looked at each other who had single eyelids and who had double eyelids.Those who were speechless said that the eldest son and the third highness both had double eyelids, but Princess Qin had single eyelids.Jia Gui knows that double eyelids are a dominant gene and are easily inherited.Thinking of seeing King Qin that day, King Qin has double eyelids, so it can be seen that the double eyelids of King Qin's two sons were inherited from their father.But she suddenly remembered another thing, Haoxuan stood up.

The Taishanghuang's side concubine Hu in Huashan Bajing Palace has double eyelids, while the Taoist priest named Zhiwei has single eyelids.According to the theory of dominant inheritance, if one of the parents has double eyelids, the probability of the child having double eyelids is extremely high.If Zhiwei is the son of Concubine Hu, why does she have single eyelids?Could it be that he is not the son of the Supreme Emperor at all, and the son of Concubine Hu is someone else?

When I went back that day, Jia Gui hurriedly took Liu Mingyi and asked, "That old man you saw on Jinggangshan had single eyelids and double eyelids?"

Liu Mingyi was startled, thought for a while and said, "Double eyelids."

"Do you remember clearly? Are they really double eyelids?"

Liu Mingyi said: "I remember his appearance clearly, he really has double eyelids."

Liu Xiaoqi said: "I've seen the Supreme Emperor since I was a child, he really has double eyelids. The children of the Situ family all have double eyelids."

Jia Gui gritted his teeth: "That Taoist named Zhiwei has single eyelids, he is probably not the illegitimate son of the Supreme Emperor."

Liu Xiaoqi said: "Isn't there still a mutation? I see that his eyes and mouth are a bit like that of Concubine Hu."

"The probability of mutation is so low. Maybe Zhiwei is a relative of Concubine Hu, a nephew or something." Jia Gui said, "Double eyelids are a dominant gene."

Dong Yu also said: "That's right, double eyelids are a dominant gene. And Zhiwei and the others are so generous in exposing themselves to the King of Qin, there is definitely a backhand."

Jia Gui pondered: "I have a not-so-clear idea, do you want to listen?"

Everyone said in unison: "Say!"

Jia Gui stood up involuntarily, and walked around the room twice with his hands behind his back: "I remember my third uncle told me that when the world was divided into feudal states, the reason why the king of Shu chose to go to Shu was because someone pushed him to follow him. That Ding Chu’s relatives were involved. The king of Wu loved money and chose the rich land of Wu; the king of Qi was fond of literature and chose the state of Qi which was closest to the sage Confucius; the former king of Jin had roots in the state of Jin, so he chose Jin. To be honest , Yan State is richer than Qin State. Although the place is smaller, it can control the capital. Back then, King Yan was imprisoned in King Ning’s mansion, so he couldn’t choose his own land at all. Yan State was specially left to him by the kings. Naturally, A lot of messes were left for him to clean up, but the country of Yan was still a very good place. Anyway, the world was not divided at that time, and the borders of all countries could be discussed. Because the country of Yan was to be left to King Yan, the territory was smaller; if Which prince wants Yan Kingdom, so naturally he can divide it into a larger one. King Qin, I remember that he prefers a false name? I mean, why didn’t King Qin enlarge the territory of Yan Kingdom and seize Yan Kingdom by himself? ? Shouldn’t people who like false fame be more willing to want the capital? Why did he choose the Qin country? Could it be that someone pushed it on? Do you understand?”

Dong Yu immediately said: "I understand!" He also thought about it, "Assume that we are Hu Fangfei, Zhiwei and others. Unless there is a great certainty that we can rescue the Supreme Emperor from the hands of King Qin, otherwise, it is better to win the bandits than relying on the power of King Qin." powerful."

Liu Xiaoqi said: "Back then, the Supreme Emperor sent Concubine Hu and the fetus in her womb to live in seclusion in Mount Hua. After he won the throne and ascended the throne, he would not completely stop contacting Concubine Hu. Back then...the Supreme Emperor still had Liu Dengxi in his hands, There is a lot of money and people available." He squinted his eyes, "The only thing that was given to King Qin for free is Hu side concubine, and the illegitimate son of the Supreme Emperor does not know where it is hidden and what identity it uses."
