The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 586

On this day, the imperial concubine invited Jia Gui to tea alone.The two politely chatted in the flower hall for half a day, talking about flowers, plants, fish, insects and poems and songs.After going around in circles for half a day, the concubine Shizi used Li Shangyin's two sentences, "Eight horses travel [-] miles a day, why does King Mu not come back again", which can be regarded as the Queen Mother of the West.Nai asked: "Miss Wang has seen the world, do you know that there is really an elixir in the world?"

Jia Gui laughed loudly: "Your Majesty is so energetic, it took so much effort to get on the topic. We really don't know about the elixir of life. Yesterday was just a sincere hookup." Shi Zifei was stunned.Jia Gui said, "It's better to ask the prince to come out and talk through the screen."

The Crown Princess frowned: "We women have nothing to do with men."

Jia Guiqi said: "Didn't the son tell the empress? Or the empress sent someone to ask the elder son, saying that I want to talk to him directly."

I saw a eunuch in his forties coming in from outside, bowed to the concubine and said: "The son said, it's okay to meet you."

Jia Gui clapped his hands and laughed, "I knew the prince was eavesdropping!" After a while, there were footsteps outside, and the prince of Qin came in with his hands behind his back.Jia Gui greeted him and made a bow, and the concubine bowed her head and blessed.The prince waved his hand and ordered the concubine to go out.The concubine Shi Zi hesitated for a moment, her eyes flicked across Jia Gui's face, and she walked away in a dignified manner.

The prince then asked with a smile, "What does Miss Wang want to say to Xiao Wang?"

Jia Gui clasped his fists and said, "Please forgive me, my son. The words yesterday related to immortality are all introductions, in order to get to know my son, the master of the Spring Wind Pavilion."

The prince wondered: "How did Xiao Wang become the master of the Spring Wind Pavilion?"

Jia Gui smiled and said, "What do we do? The oiran in the largest flower building in every city must be a spy; whoever owns the spy must be someone very capable in that city. We don't know Chunfeng Who is the owner of the pavilion. It may be the King of Qin, or the heir, or a relative, or the prefect of Chen, or someone nearby. Anyway, whoever has the ability to preside over the Spring Wind Pavilion, we will hook up with whoever."

The prince raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing hooking up?"

"Business." Jia Gui said, "I don't know what the prince wants? There is always something we can cooperate with."

The prince looked up at her and said, "Chunfeng Pavilion is not mine."

"Huh? No?" Jia Gui blinked, "Then it belongs to the King of Qin? Or the Princess's? There are only two people who can support the prince."

The crown prince didn't answer: "The technique of longevity that your friend talked about?"

"It's all folklore." Jia Gui said, "It was strung together casually. Didn't you Huakui see that he kicked me first?"

The prince said: "Since you know you will be seen, aren't you afraid that they will see you through?"

Jia Gui held the teacup and said, "Even if we saw the two of us playing tricks, a gimmick like 'immortality' would attract the attention of high-ranking people no matter what. My son, we don't have the art of longevity, but other Everyone can still do business.”

The son said indifferently: "Other business? Is it too emperor?"

Jia Gui said: "We did the business with the King of Qin, and I believe the prince is another client of ours."

The prince said, "I have nothing to buy."

Jia Gui said: "People must have troubles in this world. If the son of the world values ​​power and status, he must guard against those who covet him; if he likes freedom, he will inevitably worry about the status control. But in today's world, nothing is impossible."

The prince glanced at her: "As the prince of Qin, he is born with no freedom. It's not the king of Chu."

Jia Gui smiled and said: "The first king of Chu? There is nothing wrong with his choice. Everyone has his own ambitions, and his younger brother is more suitable than him to be king. And he has not given up his responsibility, and he is still advising his younger brother. Because he and his wife His poems made a lot of money, and he even gave some embellishers to his younger brother. The state of Chu has a much better future in the hands of the current king of Chu than in his hands."

The prince sneered and said, "Chu is divided into ten pieces. Is there a future?"

"Chu has been in chaos for a long time. If there is no division, there will be internal fighting, and the damage of internal fighting will be worse than that of the feudal family—one damage and one damage." Jia Gui said slowly, "Although the young king of Chu can only be left by his grandfather A small piece of land, but with great ambitions, determination to innovate, and the unity of the monarch and ministers, it will take another ten years to choose another Lu State. The Chu State is always bigger than the Lu State.”

The prince was surprised and said: "Miss Wang still knows the general trend of the world?"

Jia Gui was also surprised: "It's not that I don't know my identity. The general trend of the world is the basic skill of our profession. If I don't even know this, I can starve to death."

The prince couldn't help becoming interested: "How do you do this business? Won't your fine work be beaten to death by the princes of all countries?"

Jia Gui laughed and said, "We don't do much secret work, but most of them are informants. And we don't do anything that endangers the princes of other countries." Nai paused, "Informants only sell some news that I don't know whether it is valuable or not. Us. For example, the Liu family of Dongying came up with a policy two years ago, called "social basic pension insurance", and everyone in the Liu family of Dongying could copy it in the Yamen. Our informant was the first to copy it out, and it was published and placed in the capital. The Falcon Bookstore sold it. It didn’t take long for Lu Country to learn it.”

The prince looked at her: "Are you optimistic about King Lu?"

Jia Gui nodded: "There is also the King of Chu. A small country has its advantages. There are few regulations, orders and prohibitions, and missions must be fulfilled. It can develop in the blink of an eye."

"But Lu Country is too small after all."

Jia Gui smiled and said, "I don't know that King Lu has written a letter to King Yan, and he is willing to make King Yan the overlord, just to ask King Yan to take Lu to attack North America?"

The prince pondered: "The whole country thinks that Rongguo Mansion really chose King Yan. King Lu's sister is Jia Huan's wife, and this move was ordered by Rongguo Mansion."

Jia Gui sneered and said, "The King of Lu is very fond of Situ, who also has the surname, so he will listen to his brother-in-law for such a big matter? Rongguo Mansion has already been decided by Jia Cong. Jia Cong has not yet chosen a master, so what kind of master did Rongguo Mansion choose?"

"Oh?" Shizi took a deep look at Jia Gui, "S.H.I.E.L.D. is so clear?"

Jia Gui said: "SHIELD has cooperated with Rongguo Mansion for many years, and it is a strategic partnership." She winked, "Don't you think what they are doing is very similar to ours?"

The prince thought for a while and said, "It's really similar."

"The green forest is stronger than the imperial court here. No one dominates the world. Everyone conducts business and lives independently, and no one insists on riding on top of each other." Jia Gui smiled, "It's no match for the prince and son, a country There can only be one."

The prince nodded: "Miss Wang, look, why does King Lu regard King Yan as his overlord?"

Jia Gui shook his head and said, "So many princes and sons of you didn't see it, but it was Little Chu King who saw it. Wait, it won't be long before King Chu and King Lu will serve as the overlord of King Yan."

The prince happened to be drinking tea, when he heard the words, he raised his head suddenly: "What?!" Jia Gui tilted his head.The prince bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Ma'am, please advise."

Jia Gui said: "Didn't King Lu say that? Take him to attack North America together."

The prince asked: "Even if North America is conquered, wouldn't King Yan have the big head and they have the small head?"

Jia Gui said: "The domestic land has been divided, and the only way to seek territory is to go overseas. The North American land is vast and fertile, and it is too big and too far away. The real sky is high and the emperor is far away. What King Lu used is a false strategy to attack Guo. .”

The prince suddenly stood up with a jolt: "Does King Lu want to?"

Jia Gui was sitting dignifiedly, and nodded with a smile: "Fifty years later, King Lu and King Chu will not want to talk about the current state of Lu and Chu. It is not certain how many territories Yan will leave in North America, it is too far away, and Japan is not the same thing at all.”

The prince said softly, "King Yan is using a wolf as a dog."

Jia Gui clapped his hands and said, "Think about it, my son, if the state of Chu had not been entrusted, would the King of Chu pretend to be a puppy and follow King Yan smoothly? His uncles must not demolish the palace. Even if he dared, Yan would Can the king believe it?"

Shizi nodded slowly.After a while, he suddenly said: "Miss Wang, you have been talking about state affairs for half a day, but you still haven't explained why your meticulous work will not be beaten to death by the kings."

"Didn't you say it? You work less and have more informants."

"Aren't informants afraid of death?"

"The informants don't know each other. Even if they die, the other informants don't know. And it's not ours, we have no loss. All we give the informant is money."

The prince pondered for a moment and asked, "How did you find the informant?" Jia Gui smiled half-smile and remained silent.The prince said with a smile, "Sometimes Xiao Wang really can't tell whether the people below are loyal or not."

Jia Gui said indifferently: "We never touch loyal ministers and servants. It's too easy to offend people. After all, there are few loyal people in this world, but money can pass through the gods. Many news don't need to bribe important people, but can be easily obtained from other sources." get."

"E.g?"

"For example, I know that the crown prince is not favored." Jia Gui said, "No matter how much the crown prince takes care of her face, she will rarely be favored in this life." She glanced at the crown prince, "This alone is very easy to use. The brothers of the crown prince just don't care about her." By buying one or two maidservants around the concubine, the concubine can lose the golden crown." The concubine frowned, and Jia Gui lowered his eyebrows and smirked, "The concubine is still young, and she has not cultivated to be calm. Husband If she doesn't like her, she will inevitably be jealous of other women. And she is unfavorable for occupying the position of imperial concubine, and it is inevitable that other women want her seat. This is human nature, and it is useless to rely on women to recite the three obediences and four virtues. It is useless for the crown prince to try his best to protect the face of the crown prince outside. As long as two such women are found in the palace of the crown prince to instigate them, and the concubine of the past crown prince can be instigated, they can make them fight each other like black-eyed chickens, and they will hide it from the crown prince You, fight and fight, if you don't pay attention, it will spread to Shizi's sons." Shizi gasped.Jia Gui said slowly, "If the sons of the son gradually let the women die or become disabled, the son will lose a lot of weight in front of the prince."

The prince narrowed his eyes: "Miss Wang thinks how to prevent this?"

Jia Gui waved his hand: "It can't be prevented. Either the prince himself puts a little effort by the concubine's side."

The prince was silent for a while, and asked: "How do you know that the concubine is not favored?"

Jia Gui casually said: "She doesn't really look outstanding. When I came back to your residence, I met several beauties, and they could easily overwhelm her. She is also sexually sensual, so everyone said that she doesn't like beauty. Most men get beauties because they have no ability. Beauties can be in various forms and have their own advantages, but the first wife must be one of these various forms, coupled with her natal status, in order to be able to stabilize the backyard. Neither of these two things is missing. And the eldest son Concubine has neither." She turned her head to look at Shizi, "How did you pick her back then?"

The prince was stunned for a long time, and said: "Marry a wife and marry a virtuous man."

Jia Gui pursed her lips: "It's possible to have both virtuous and beautiful. If she married an ordinary official who couldn't afford a beautiful concubine, she would definitely be much happier than she is now."

The prince picked up the tea and thought about it for a while, then said: "According to Miss Wang's color and intelligence, I think the mother can do it."

Jia Gui was taken aback: "Huh?" Seeing a strange look in Shizi's eyes, Jia Gui didn't like it for no reason, and his face flustered.The prince laughed when he saw this.Jia Gui calmed down for a moment, then said with a smirk, "No. I am very narrow-minded, if my husband has a beautiful concubine, I will definitely reconcile immediately."

The prince took a sip of tea, raised his eyes and said, "Is it easy to make peace?"

Jia Gui said: "If you have a mother's family, you can reconcile."

The prince said: "Don't you have no soldiers in S.H.I.E.L.D.? What's the use?"

Jia Gui had calmed down, and said with a straight chest: "Money can make ghosts turn millstones, we can hire them. Doesn't the King of Wu have soldiers?"

The prince looked her face and body for about ten times, and said: "If Xiao Wang keeps Miss Wang in the mansion, what can you do?"

Jia Gui Nei was already frightened, he still had a smile on his face and said: "My accomplice can immediately make the King of Qin suspicious of your son. My son, you can learn from the past, Prince Yizhong."

The prince took a deep breath, looked at her for a long time like a tiger and wolf, and finally said with a fake smile: "Xiao Wang is just joking."

Jia Gui made up his mind, and said word by word: "I guess so. If the prince didn't even have such an idea and reason, he would have been overturned long ago."

The crown prince glanced at her again, stood up and bowed: "You surprised the girl, Xiao Wang apologizes to the girl."

Jia Gui waved his hand: "That's all, don't scare people like this next time." He stood up quickly, "It's time to say goodbye."

The prince nodded with a smile, straightened his clothes, and personally sent her out of the gate of the prince's mansion.Jia Gui got on his horse, clasped his fists, and galloped away.The prince stared behind him for a long time.

Jia Gui went back to the prescription and breathed a sigh of relief, his face turned pale and his hands and feet were cold.Seeing Uncle Yang chatting with soldiers at the door, he rushed straight up.He also forgot that there were many guards of the King of Qin around, panting: "I was scared to death! Grandpa Yang, Fu'er is so hung up that I can't come back!"

Yang Erbo was surprised: "What's the matter? Are you so scared?"

Jia Gui shook his head: "Grandpa, my legs are weak and I can't walk."

Uncle Yang hurriedly helped her move inside.Jia Gui hung on the old man's body and half dragged him in.Dong Yu and Liu Xiaoqi were playing chess in the courtyard, and they were shocked when they saw this: "What's wrong with Fu'er?"

Jia Gui cried "Wow".Has she ever been frightened like this since she was born?Even if this trip came out, the journey was safe and sound, and there was no real danger.Moreover, the ethos of the Taiwanese government is similar to that of later generations, and there are few men who molest women from good families, let alone rape them.Jia Gui has also heard many stories about knights punishing bullies who rob women in commentaries, but she never thought of herself-she never thought of herself as a weak woman who could be robbed.This meeting is really scary.Pretend to be too aggressive, causing others to covet her.If Prince Qin's son doesn't care about forcing her to stay, he will suffer a big loss.For the first time in his life, Jia Gui knew he was afraid.After crying for a long time, he touched his tears and shouted, "Seventh Brother! I want to learn Kung Fu from you!"
