The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 950

After playing wildly in Han's house all day, seeing that dusk was approaching, Han Fei hurried back to the city.Everyone is a little bit reluctant.Taking advantage of the chaos when Li Zhuang got on the horse, Zhang Wenlan put Yin Zhuang's shoulder and whispered, "Brother Guard, how can I contact your lord?"

Yin Zhuang said: "I am just a guard. I am not in charge of such matters."

Zhang Wenlan winked: "You are not only a guard, you are a friend of Mr. Gan. He can't devote twelve hours a day to his work. Even if he is engaged in intelligence, he must have a few hours for himself." Yin Yin Zhuang looked at him with an expression on his face.He explained, "I thought, the identities of you two are so mysterious, either the inner guards sent to secretly protect His Highness the Fourth Highness, or the Secretary of the Imperial City. The Fourth Highness drove away in the afternoon, and you both stayed in the flower hall, obviously not the inner guards. Guarded."

Yin Zhuang thought for a moment and said: "Since Mr. Zhang guessed it, don't make things difficult for our lord. This errand is really forbidden for twelve hours."

"People always have to eat and sleep." Zhang Wenlan said, "The way of civil and military affairs is relaxed and relaxed, and you have to have your own life."

"Really not." Yin Zhuang hesitated for a long time, and said in a very low voice, "Young Master Zhang, don't talk too much. According to your family's connections, you may not be able to find out the origin of our lord. After you know...then make a decision Go." Nai pulled his arm and retreated away.Zhang Wenlan stood there watching him gradually approaching Gan Kexi and getting on the horse.This scene was firmly in the eyes of others, and they all went to see Situ Wei.

As expected, Situ Wei was looking at the two of them thoughtfully.Zhang Wenlan got on the horse, and Situ Wei suddenly pulled the horse over and said, "By the way, I'm looking for you to inquire about something. You, Professor Wang, are the editor in charge of "New Architecture."

"Yes. Responsible for the ancient construction edition." Zhang Wenlan said, "I often go to the editorial department to help."

Situ Wei hurriedly said: "There is an art editor in their magazine, whose name is similar to yours, Wen Lan, do you recognize him?"

Zhang Wenlan smiled and said, "That's me."

Situ Wei clapped his hands happily: "Fortunately, fortunately! I always thought she was a talented woman, but I never thought that a man's writing skills are so delicate. A real person cannot be judged by appearance."

Zhang Wenlan cupped her hands again and again, her brows were not concealed, and she pretended to be modest: "Small tricks are nothing to worry about."

Situ Wei praised a few more words, and took off a jade pendant on his skirt as a gift.Zhang Wenlan unconsciously opened her eyes to look at Gan Kexi, and saw that he was already sitting on the horse, looking at him like Bao Gong.So he hurriedly jumped off the horse and took the jade pendant with both hands, saying "Thanks to His Highness the Fourth Highness", but he couldn't say "gift" and "reward" when he came to his mouth.

Situ Wei waved his hand: "You and I are familiar with each other, so we don't need to be so polite." But he smiled meaningfully, patted his horse and left.

Zhang Wenlan was stunned for a long time, and said loudly: "I just met today, I only discussed Huizi Chongshan Temple, so I don't think I'm acquainted."

Everyone secretly laughed, thinking that he would only come back to his senses now.The son's old background has been taken into account, and there seems to be a gap between him and the concubine's family; the second child is useless, and the third and fifth are not much better.The fourth child has recently shown a trend of latecomer first comer.Zhang Wenlan's grandfather had originally praised the fourth highness; if Zhang Wenlan had a personal relationship with Situ Wei, or even more than a personal relationship, no matter whether he got the family's instruction or not, he would have to be classified as the fourth child.However, after he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Gan Kexi plainly, which aroused more speculation from others.As for Lord Xiaogan's identity, others often speculated about the inner guard or the Imperial City Secretary.Did Zhang Wenlan say this to Gan Kexi, or the Yin guard?Is it business or private?Even the crown prince was included, and the four princes were staying behind closed doors. Han Fei, with his status, invited the fourth prince to come to Zhuangzi in the suburbs to celebrate his birthday... Could it be that the state of Jin is about to change?No one speaks, you just give me a look, and I give you a look.

When returning to the city, Situ Wei sent someone straight to Jia's horse shop to take away his thesis.It is said that I recognized a student of Professor Wang Yuan, and it would be cheaper to ask this student to send it.

When Zhang Wenlan got the paper, she had just entered the house and was talking with his two older brothers.Turning over a little bit, he slapped his thigh unconsciously.A Jiada student often contributed letters to the editorial department of "New Architecture", and often debated topics with "Art Editor Wen Lan".That person's name was Yin Meisheng, and his views were exactly the same as Situ Wei's.And the illustrations in this paper are decorated with a small plum blossom.I'm afraid that "Yin Meisheng" is the pseudonym of the Fourth Highness.In this way, the saying "Original acquaintance" yesterday is not wrong.After reading a few more pages of papers, Zhang Wenlan couldn't help but praise: "The Fourth Highness is really very professional."

His elder brother frowned and said, "Don't get too close to him. I don't know what's going on at the moment."

Zhang Wenlan didn't take it seriously: "It's just a compliment for his professionalism, so he's so trembling. Are you not allowed to say anything? Besides, I didn't see that he had the intention of being a prince. You know that he doesn't mean it sincerely." Just want to protect ancient buildings?"

His second elder brother lazily said: "If he didn't have that kind of thought, since there are many people who have come to him recently, he should have closed his door to thank the guests. How did he accept them widely?" Zhang Wenlan was stopped by the question, and remained silent for a long time.His second brother said again, "Do you know why grandfather called you back in such a hurry?"

"Why? I was going to visit the Forbidden City."

"Because he was optimistic about the fourth son at that time." The elder brother said, "I think the son is not his opponent, let alone the third one. You and the fourth highness have the same major, so you can just get in touch with him by building the railway. "Zhang Wenlan rolled her eyes.The eldest brother went on to say, "Who knows that you haven't come back yet? Jia Cong suddenly sent a letter to Mr. Han, saying that he watched the sky at night and that the fortunes of the state of Jin had changed. In order to ensure the safe operation of the railway, he sent someone to send a message to our lord, asking He doesn't want to change his son."

Zhang Wenlan frowned: "Jia Cong wears a Taoist sheep's head all year round, sells atheist dog meat, and even watches the sky at night? Why don't I believe it?"

His elder brother said with a smile: "Then what do you think is the reason?"

His second elder brother said: "Jia Cong and His Highness the Fourth Highness have met in private more than once, and they even hinted that it would be great if the Fourth Highness could inherit the Jin Kingdom in the future."

Zhang Wenlan thought for a long time, and said: "I guess... Jia Cong discovered some characteristics of the Fourth Highness during the contact process, some characteristics that are difficult to change, making the Fourth Highness less suitable than the eldest son to become the political cooperation of the Chinese Federation. Partner. However, he has certain strengths, and the prince may not be his opponent, so Jia Cong put out words to scare our prince..." He shrugged and said, "As long as the prince himself refuses to change the prince, other powers will It can be ignored. The prince is superstitious, and no matter how scientific others are, it is useless."

His eldest brother sighed softly: "Your Highness is young after all. He has received a lot of gifts recently. People have nothing to ask of him for the time being, and he has not done anything for them. He probably feels that it is not a bribe in his heart. There is nothing in the world for nothing." benefit."

Zhang Wenlan suddenly had a thought: "Two brothers, in the Korean Chinese class, all the ministers who need to make friends with Mr. Han."

"That's right. The rest are either good or bad, or not good enough."

"Then...Jia Cong used the luck of the country to frighten the prince, he would not just tell our grandfather, I am afraid that others will also tell."

His second brother said: "I have told everything that needs to be told."

Zhang Wenlan crossed her hands and said: "The fourth highness can't ask for help from the court. The masters with both power and talent are stopped by Mr. Han, and the rest are useless. No one taught him how to deal with things, and the mother family is holding back. No wonder... ..." No wonder they wanted to poach a corner from the Imperial City Division.Thinking about it this way, His Royal Highness is out of luck.

Zhang Su took a rest today and went to a colleague's house for a drink, and he didn't come back until the second watch.Zhang Wenlan followed her father and brother to pay her respects, and described in detail what happened in Han's Zhuangzi today.Naturally, he didn't mention Gan Kexi's staring at him, but said that he was quite curious when he saw him learn to drive in an instant.The Imperial City Division is secretive, and Zhang Su doesn't know the surname of its leader.However, he has an excellent memory, and he remembered the name Gan Kexi not long after.Nai sighed: "That Mr. Gan is about the same age as you, and he was also a child prodigy when he was young. What a pity." Then he talked about the difficulties of the Gan family.

Zhang Wenlan was shocked, and said after a while: "Then...he has become a eunuch?"

Zhang Su said: "Of course it's an eunuch. Don't look down on eunuchs, there are many eunuchs who are very talented."

Zhang Wenlan understood that Yin Huwei's last words meant that she was afraid that she would despise his family's status as an adult.I felt very distressed for a moment, and wished I could fly to the imperial city immediately to confess my feelings.However, even a court official like Zhang Su didn't know the location of the Si Yamen in the imperial city, so he couldn't help running around in a hurry.Fortunately, his grandfather, father and brother were all guessing why Henfeite had invited the fourth child and the people from the Imperial City Department to go with him, but no one paid attention to him.

The next night, Situ Wei and Gan Kexi met in another courtyard of Hao's house.As expected, Situ Wei directly begged for Yin Zhuang.Gan Kexi frowned and said: "Your Highness is too nonsense. How can someone from the Imperial City Division give it to the prince? The prince will not agree."

Situ Wei smiled and said, "I don't know who is in the Imperial City Division. I don't know. Aren't they all in your hands?"

Gan Kexi shook his head and said: "This is the only one in my hand that is useful. It's fine for others to pay it back, Yin Zhuang definitely can't give it to you."

Situ Wei repeatedly asked for it, but he insisted on refusing to give it.After a stalemate for a while, Situ Wei suddenly stared at Gan Kexi.After a long while, with a sneer, he said slowly, "Don't just fall in love with him."

A fire of karma was inexplicably burned in Gan Kexi's chest, and he blurted out: "It has nothing to do with Your Highness." He flung his sleeves and left.Situ Wei sat there and frowned.

Two days later, King Jin went to pay his respects to the Queen Mother.The Queen Mother said: "I remembered one thing. Xiao Si came to me yesterday and talked a lot. Although he didn't say it clearly, I can hear the meaning. I want to ask you for someone."

King Jin asked with a smile: "Who is it? Since he is a lonely king, why did he come to ask you all the time?"

The Queen Mother also laughed and said, "Of course he thinks you won't agree to it, so he asked me for advice." Nai slowly told her, "A few days ago, a young man from someone's family celebrated his birthday and invited him to come. Going to the banquet. At the banquet, he ran into Ah Xi."

Jin Wang thought for a moment and said: "The lonely king knows about that. Please ask the people of Axi to mention it to the lonely king."

The Queen Mother said: "There is a very beautiful boy beside Ah Xi. He fell in love with him at first sight, and he liked it very much. If there were other people, he would go with others, but he knows about Ah Xi's errand." King Jin frowned immediately.The Queen Mother sighed again, "He missed that boy day and night in the past few days, and he didn't think about food or tea. By the way, he said that a grandson of Zhang Su's family was here, and he also fell in love with him. Axi himself is also interested in him. I I'm curious, why is it that the Secretary of the Imperial City hides a male goblin? Why do all the men fall in love with him? Tomorrow you call him into the mansion and let me have a look."

The king of Jin was also surprised when he heard this: "It's so? Since my mother wants to see it, I'll call it now." Then he ordered a confidant eunuch to go to the imperial city department, and asked Gan Kexi to lead the eunuch who had been brought to Han a few days ago. The kid from the village is here.

At that moment, the eunuch sent Xiao Huangmen back to report: "Eunuch Gan and Yin Ganban have both gone out on business, and it will take a while before they can return to the Yamen."

The King of Jin asked the Queen Mother: "Mother, do you see?"

The Queen Mother said: "Anyway, I have nothing to do, so just wait."

After waiting for half an hour, Gan Kexi led Yin Zhuang over.The two knelt down, and the Queen Mother said lazily: "You are Yin Gan?"

Yin Zhuang said in a deep voice: "The humble job is right."

"Raise your head and let me have a look." Yin Zhuang raised his head as he said.The queen dowager and the king of Jin thought they would see an indistinguishable male and female demon boy, but he didn't expect that although this boy had a very beautiful appearance, not only was there no charm, but his expression was solemn, clean and upright.Empress Dowager Wang smiled and said, "What a child, he really likes people." King Jin also nodded secretly.

The queen mother beckoned and asked Yin Zhuang to come to her.Yin Zhuang was a little dazed, and turned to look at Gan Kexi.Gan Kexi said in a low voice: "Since the queen mother called you, you should go there." Yin Zhuangsui nodded his head obediently, stood up and approached the queen mother.He didn't know the etiquette in the palace, so he stood upright like a pillar.Gan Kexi reminded again, "Bow your back a little bit." Yin Zhuang hurriedly bowed.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Since it's the first time I entered the palace, it's not surprising that I don't know the rules. Ah Xi, where did you find such a child?"

Gan Kexi said: "This is the old man of the Imperial City Department."

The Queen Mother nodded, and the more she looked at Yin Zhuang, the more she liked him, so she asked him his age, place of origin, and who was in his family.Yin Zhuang answered them one by one.The queen mother asked him if he had ever married a wife.Yin Zhuang said: "Uncle is in charge. He has hired a daughter-in-law, He Shi, and has not yet passed the family."

"Oh. What kind of family is your Yue family?"

"The daughter-in-law of the humble job is an orphan who grew up in a health care hall since she was a child."

The Queen Mother frowned: "Orphan girl? Why did you hire an orphan girl? What rank are you?"

"Humble job is the sixth grade."

"Older than the county magistrate, how can you marry a mere orphan girl." The Queen Mother said, "You resign this marriage, and I will hire another good relative for you."

Yin Zhuang said solemnly: "Thank you for your kindness, the Empress Dowager, I dare not accept orders from a lowly position."

The Queen Mother said displeased: "Huh? You still can't trust me?"

Yin Zhuangdao: "The Master said, the people cannot be established without trust. There is also a saying that a wife of dross will not go to court. Since it is a marriage made by the elders, I dare not betray my trust in a humble position."

The Queen Mother wanted to say more, but seeing his resolute expression, she had to give up.Nai liked it more and more, and said, "Ah Xi, what can I do with this child?"

Gan Kexi lowered his head and said: "Empress Dowager, how can there be a man in the palace?"

The Queen Mother laughed and said, "I still have a few properties out there, and I don't have anyone I can trust to take care of them. Now I'm just messing around. It's rare that this kid is honest and honest, and he's still smart at first glance, and he's being put to good use."
