Chapter 592
It is said that when Feng Ziying came home that day, she just got off her horse at the door, and the door greeted her back and forth: "Master, Third Master Huan of Rongguo Mansion has been waiting for you for half an hour."
"Huan'er is here?" Feng Ziying smiled and threw the reins of the horse to the boy, "Are you in the study outside?"
The door said: "Yes." Feng Ziying nodded and walked in quickly.
When I got to the study, I saw that Jia Huan was almost asleep on the bed. She couldn't help laughing, so she stepped forward and pushed him: "Wake up quickly. It's cold, it's better to catch a cold."
Jia Huan snorted, "I'm not asleep." Feng Ziying turned around and was about to sit on the chair next to him, when he said, "My aunt sent someone from Chang'an to Beijing quickly, saying that the son of the state of Qin was violent. shoot."
Feng Ziying sat down and said: "I also got the letter. I died of poisoning, and I can't find out who did it."
Jia Huan nodded: "The Imperial Concubine sent someone to win over my great-aunt quietly."
"Shi Zifei?" Feng Ziying was pleasantly surprised.
"Well, the widow of the eldest son, the mother of the eldest grandson of King Qin." Jia Huan said with a smile, "Grandmother didn't agree."
Feng Ziying raised her eyebrows: "Why don't you agree to the good things that come to your door?"
Jia Huan said: "All the people who need to be used by the Gao family have been sent to Ping'an Prefecture, and only some old people and female relatives are left in Chang'an. Now the prince of Qin is dead, the eldest grandson of the king is too young, the king of Qin has so many sons, and many powerful officials and generals Aunt and grandma just eat melons and watch plays for the elderly, so they don't have the strength to get involved." He blinked, "However, we know that most of the people around the original prince will fall and be scattered. This clearly shows that people with roots outside of Qin are also making up their minds."
Feng Ziying thought for a while: "What do you think?"
Jia Huan spread his hands: "How do I know? I am a messenger. The concubine didn't stop, she cried miserably, and my aunt and grandmother almost couldn't bear it. Why don't you ask the prince to give someone, and my aunt recommends her How nice it is to be quiet. How old is she? Aunt Xiaomei said she is dozing off now, so how could she care so much?" Feng Ziying nodded, thinking silently.Jia Huan said again, "By the way, our princess said that since the eldest grandson of King Qin is still young, it is better to send a gentleman there. As far as he is concerned, avoiding the limelight and letting those uncles outside break their heads, and studying behind closed doors is the only way to save his life." The way to think about it will only die faster if you care about the momentary power and status. Anyway, King Qin is in good health, and a new little princess was born last year, so it doesn't look like he will die in three or five years."
Feng Ziying praised: "Princess has good eyesight!" Nai looked at him, "The wives your family picked are all good."
Jia Huan said: "Our family has suffered... that... my grandmother's loss, so we should be cautious in choosing a wife."
Feng Ziying asked: "How old is the grandson of the king?"
"Seven years old." Jia Huan said, "It will take ten years at least to be able to be used. If the prince wants to control Qin, I'm afraid he will have to send some people out."
Before he finished speaking, Feng Ziying interrupted: "Don't say it yet, talk to the prince."
"I just didn't want to go to the prince and say that I came to you."
Feng Ziying was startled: "Why?"
Jia Huan curled her lips: "My lord has many people before me. This idea belongs to our princess. It's better not to put women's tricks on the table, otherwise she will easily be jealous when she goes out to associate with other women."
Feng Ziying smiled and said: "She is a princess, who would dare to be jealous? You are too careful."
"Anyway, it's enough for the prince to understand. The men in our family are already eye-catching enough. If even women jump into the court, how many people will feel unhappy."
Feng Ziying laughed loudly: "Aren't the women in your family eye-catching?" Looking back, the girls and wives of the Jia family really didn't show off in the court, and the most ostentatious one was surnamed Lin. How are you?"
Jia Huan said: "The grandson of the King of Qin is young. Now I only send someone to him in the name of my aunt and grandmother, and teach him how to be well-behaved, sensible and talented in front of the King of Qin and his concubine. If the King of Qin is not willing to make up his mind, he is determined to have another son. , to delay this matter. His uncles will inevitably have a brawl. The prince can send a few people to each house to help, evenly matched. But if King Qin is hesitant, it will be easy to delay until the grandson of the king. "
Feng Ziying shook her head: "Sure enough, it's a woman's trick. What if raising a tiger becomes a problem? How can it be successful to attract the princes of the Qin Dynasty to be evenly matched, but let them kill each other and lose each other. When the grandson of the king is young, put a few more people by his side. "
Jia Huan said: "The lord makes up his mind anyway. The King of Qin is not a vegetarian, so just send one or two useful ones. If there are too many, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion."
Feng Ziying nodded: "Did Taijun Jia's people say anything else?"
"There was a lot of trouble in Chang'an City a few days ago. The prince of Qin fell in love with a girl from the state of Wu, and hurriedly abolished his concubine and wanted to marry that girl as his concubine. He didn't want to be robbed on the day of marriage. !"
"I also got news about that matter, but it was not detailed." Feng Ziying also worked carefully in Chang'an.Pigeon's message is brief, and the letter hasn't arrived yet.
"Let Aunt Xiaomei talk about this, I'm afraid it won't be good to explain it." The caller called in a daughter-in-law named Xiaomei who was waiting outside, and she was sent by Taijun Jia.
Xiaomei bowed and talked about the excitement of Prince Qin being robbed like an outsider.She said: "The girl is from Wu, and she looks very good. Our girl met her when she went to a banquet, and she said that she is very knowledgeable and her family is rich. The house they live in is the private residence of the King of Qin, so I don't know the details."
Feng Ziying thought for a long time after hearing the words, stood up and said, "Auntie Xiaomei, please come with me to see the prince, maybe I have something to ask you." Xiaomei accepted the order.The two of them went out and went straight to Yanwang's mansion, but Jia Huan didn't mention it when he went home.
King Yan was overjoyed when he heard that Qin Shizi concubine had wooed Chang'an Gao's family, and called his confidantes to discuss matters overnight.Fearing that the concubine of the world would see that the Gao family would not agree and ask someone else instead, she first chose someone under Feng Ziying to send her there.His surname is Cui, his ancestral home is Chang'an, and he has a lot of talent and learning.Let the Gao family entrust him with an identity and recommend him to the grandson of King Qin, first to settle the minds of the orphan and widow.The next day, Princess Yan gave Princess Jian'an a lot of things.
After a few days, the Ningguo Mansion posted a message to Jia Zheng.It turned out that Jia Rong took a concubine from outside, in order to give the woman face and prepare for a serious banquet.Ever since Jia Rong made a fuss about molesting his younger brother and daughter-in-law, Jia Zheng had very little contact with that mansion.Today, when he heard that the woman he wanted to admit was a widow, he was so angry that he cursed "shameless" and kicked out the people from Ningguo Mansion.Jia Rong didn't care, just Zhang Luo's other relatives used to be lively.
When this little widow, Mrs. Chun, came in, she was amazing!In front of Jia Rong Jia Zhen is a delicate flower, in front of Hu Shiyou Shi is arrogant and rude, the whole Ningguo Mansion is about to be demolished by her.Especially love to spend money.Both Jia Rong and his father fascinated her, and they gave her what she wanted.Ningguo Mansion has been robbed by thieves several times, and it has long been unable to make ends meet, how can she tolerate such troubles?But after a few days, Youshi couldn't bear it anymore, pretended to be sick and ignored it.Mrs. Hu knew it well, and dared not accept the mess in the mansion, so she hurriedly pretended to be sick.Jia Rong couldn't wait, and happily handed the account book to Chun.
Chun Shi is a educated person, took a look at the account book, and was so frightened: "Grand... Grandpa... this..."
Jia Rong just took it from You Shi, but didn't look at it.Seeing that the beauty turned pale with fright, she quickly picked up the account book and opened it.I was shocked when I saw it: "What's going on?!" After reading a few more pages, I didn't care about Chun's anymore, so I took the account book and ran to find Jia Zhen.
Jia Zhen was also furious when she saw it, she gritted her teeth and shouted, "You Shi!"
The father and father rushed into Youshi's house angrily, Jia Zhen kicked over the little maid in front of Youshi, and threw the account book on her: "Poisonous woman!" She pointed at her and cursed, "It's so dark!" Dear son! I let you move all the belongings of my Jia family to a private treasury?"
You Shi had already guessed that there was such a time, and said anxiously: "What did the master say? Do I have any private treasury?"
Jia Zhenshen pointed to the account book: "What's going on in the account?"
Mrs. You looked at the account books and then at Jia Zhen, and sighed: "It turns out that the master suspected me. That's all, I don't defend myself. The master just invites some gentlemen who are in charge of the accounts to check. This has long been the case in the mansion. Yes, my dowry has already been folded in." Jia Zhen was taken aback.He knew in his heart that the mansion would be exhausted, but he never imagined that it would be exhausted.You Shi coughed twice, and shook his head, "I have tried my best in the past few years... I sold what I could, and pawned what I could, but now I can't do it anymore."
Jia Zhen looked at the account booklets all over the bed, and saw Youshi's sallow face was haggard without makeup, most of the momentum she had just now lost.It's just that he never spoke soft words to Youshi, so Naizhong snorted: "Just wait, master will investigate now. If it is found out that you are corrupting Mo's account like the second wife in Xifu, it will cost your life!" "
Youshi smiled wryly, and said calmly: "Understood, I just look into it." The more she looked like this, the more uncertain Jia Zhen felt, she snorted again, turned around and left with her hands behind her back.The two young servants who followed looked at each other, and bravely went forward to tidy up the account books; Youshi's maid was silently helping.You Shi only suffered from illness, and he closed his eyes and rested his mind completely.
Jia Rong also understood that eight and nine are not far from ten.Seeing his wife's appearance, she must be selfless in her heart.My family is really going to be poor.He is used to being extravagant, and never knows how to write the word "poor".He wanted to go to the Rongguo Mansion next door to have fun, and he knew that Jia Huan was in charge of that mansion now, so it's no wonder Jia Huan would give him a copper coin!Can't help but feel a little flustered.
In the next few days, Jia Zhen asked someone to check the account books, and found nothing wrong.Jia Rong also went outside and looked around, thinking about borrowing money from Jia Yun several times, and refused to go in when he reached Jia Yun's shop door—he couldn't bear that face.In front of Mrs. Chun, she only said, "The master is checking the accounts. I think the wife has done something wrong." Mrs. Chun did not doubt it, and persuaded, "The wife thinks it was a moment of confusion. I hope the master is concerned about the relationship between husband and wife, so don't get angry." Rong vaguely agreed.Chun thought he would praise her for being sensible, so she could take advantage of the situation and ask for some jewelry, but he didn't say a word, so she had to swallow it.
One day, Jia Rong was full of worries and went to a small tavern that no one recognized to drink to relieve her worries. Suddenly, a man who looked like a scholar sat across from her with a smile.Jia Rong was already half drunk, she raised her head and glanced at the man: "Get lost!"
The scholar still had a smile on his face: "Sir, are you short of cash?"
Jia Rong slapped the table angrily and said, "Are you afraid that the master can't pay for the wine?"
The scholar waved his hand and said, "No. Mr. Jia can still afford the drink for this meal. The next meal will be hard to say."
Jia Rong was startled, and the idea wine suddenly woke up, narrowing her eyes: "Who are you?"
The scholar said with a smile: "Businessman. I heard that Mr. Jia is a little tight and wants to do business with you. I wonder if Mr. Jia is willing?"
Jia Rong looked him up and down for a long time. Although she knew that this person had bad intentions, she was really desperate, so she had to bite the bullet and ask, "What business is it?"
The scholar whispered: "I heard that Mr. Jia has a series of secret words written by the Prince of Xining in his hand."
Jia Rong was shocked: "What did you say?!"
The scholar said clearly, "I want to buy it."
Jia Rong hurriedly said, "Why do I have that!"
The scholar looked at him with a smile and said: "Mr. Jia is the confidant of the prince of Xining, how can there be no one?"
Jia Rong really didn't.It's not that the prince of Xining believes him, it's just because he only has the job of looking at the Rongguo Mansion, and he is in the capital, so he doesn't need to use lingo.Nai shook his head and said, "No."
Seeing him, the scholar only said "no", and did not deny that he was the confidant of the Prince of Xining, and said, "Mr. Jia, please make an offer."
Jia Rong glanced at him: "My lord is not an ordinary person, I advise you to avoid it as soon as possible."
The scholar took out a gleaming ingot of gold from his bosom and shook it in front of his eyes, Jia Rong's eyes straightened immediately!The scholar took back the gold and said: "Mr. Jia, please think about it carefully. I will see you again in a few days." He got up and left.
Jia Rong wished she could reach out and snatch the gold away!If he had any secret words, he would have stopped the scholar, but he really didn't.He just watched the man walk out of the tavern and disappeared.He suddenly thought, isn't the prince of Xining his boss?How about asking him to borrow some money?Because the Rongguo Mansion knew the details, it had been a long time since Jia Rong had gotten any useful news from his superiors.The prince of Xining still gave him some money every month, how could it be enough for Jia Rong?So he made up his mind and went to the Xining Palace to ask to see the prince.
What did the king of Xining think he was here for?After listening for a long time, I actually want money!He sneered and said, "Who doesn't know that you recruited a woman of unknown origin? That woman knows how to spend money, doesn't she?"
Jia Rong hurriedly said: "She is a girl from a good family, but because her uncle..."
"Shut up!" Xining County King pointed at him and drank, "I don't know how deep it is. This kind of woman is [-]% unreliable, and you are not a child of fifteen or sixteen years old, and you don't even know this? Are you fascinated by her? " Jia Rong wanted to argue for Chun Shi, but she didn't dare to speak when she saw her boss's appearance, so she just listened with her hands down.
The king of Xining County is being irritable.He risked his beheading to pass on the secret decree of the King of Yan, and let the bandits on Jinggang Mountain and Fujian soldiers encircle and suppress the Taiwan government, hoping to expose the hypocrisy of the Rongguo government.I don't want him to send a letter from the secret agent he placed in Li Guopei's camp, saying that Huang Wengang, the governor of Fujian, is ill. up!Li Guopei's soldiers and horses are struggling to get food and grass, and they are talking about sea ships. Now they are paralyzed in a barracks in Fuzhou and wasted in vain.
Taking risks just for the word "fast".As time went by, Feng Ziying had to leave a detailed report in Li Guopei's camp, and sooner or later a secret report would come up.If Feng Ziying realizes that something is wrong, she can't bear to walk around.A few days ago, Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan led their daughter-in-law back to the capital. What he said earlier, "All important people in Rongguo Mansion have gone to the south and will never come back" is a joke; Wang put gold on his face and begged to go to North America to fight; the Jia family was favored again for their great achievements.According to this posture, not only can't the Rongguo Mansion be moved, but if it can't be kept clean, you have to build your own house in.
Jia Rong bumped into it today.The king of Xining County is full of unknown fire and has nowhere to vent, and cursing at him is like blood on the head!Uncle Xiaorong had never been scolded like this since he was born, and he didn't dare to refute, so he secretly clenched his fists and carried it hard.The king of Xining County scolded him for half an hour, and finally dropped a teacup and kicked him: "Get out!" Jia Rong ran away like a rabbit that had been pulled from a wolf's mouth.
After leaving Xining Palace, Jia Rong looked back, turned straight across the street, and spat fiercely: "I will have revenge one day!"
