Chapter 31: The King of Beijing County
The emperor is also a human being, so he naturally has hobbies.
Those who love to play with birds, love to compose poems, love to sing, love to believe in Buddhism, love to travel, love crafts, and among the emperors of the past dynasties, they really have all kinds of hobbies.
And just as Prince Zhongshun loves to listen to operas, he also has a hobby today, and his hobby today is reading.
Whether it is the Four Books and Five Classics, the Chronicles of History, or the astrology of medical divination, poems and songs, they can all be read with relish, and even send eunuchs to collect and buy various books published every month in the capital and send them to the palace.
Today, I once said in private, reading idle books is like talking with the village husband and the elders, and you can know the people's sufferings and social feelings.
Well, the emperor's style is not ordinary, and even the reason for reading idle books is so high.
Hearing what Jinshang said, the eunuch hurriedly took out a book from the pile of books, presented it with both hands, and said with some hesitation: "Holy Lord, there is something that the slave and maid don't know whether to talk about or not?"
Imakami's brows furrowed slightly, and he hummed, took the book and sat on the chair: "Tell me to hear it?"
The eunuch lowered his eyebrows and said: "Sage, this Taishangjing is from the Zhang family bookstore in Jinling, and the Zhang family bookstore is said to be the property of the Zhang Gong clan. β
When I heard this, I laughed and scolded with a smile: "This old dog, what a bastard." β
Don't look at the fact that Grandpa Zhang is an old dog, but these words are full of intimacy.
There are so many eunuchs who are willing to serve the dogs and horses of today, and how many of them may be regarded as old dogs by today?
The eunuch listened, and knelt down in fear.
But the lowered eyes are full of envy, Gonggong Zhang has been in Jinling for a long time, but now his affection for him is still the same as it was back then, and being a eunuch can be regarded as a eunuch to do the job of Gonggong Zhang.
Knowing that this book came from Zhang's bookstore, and it was inseparable from Zhang's father-in-law, Zhang's father-in-law's conclusion that there was no evidence was naturally suspicious, but Jinshang didn't care, and only smiled and said: "Don't want to hide this old thing for him, after a while, I will ask someone to sue SΓΉ Zhongshun and let Zhongshun trouble him." It also saves the Queen Mother from chattering about your brother's length and your brother's shortness in front of me. My younger brother is more like the Queen Mother's own than me. β
Listening to these words in the ears of others, it is inevitable that there are some sour thoughts on the present, but when you look closely at the eyebrows of today, there is only a hint of banter.
When the eunuch heard this, he lowered his head a little more, and said with a smile: "Prince Zhongshun is afraid that he will not trouble Gonggong Zhang." β
Now he was stunned, and said strangely: "Where did this come from?"
"I heard that there are two secret medicines for beauty and beauty recorded in this book, and Gonggong Zhang spent a lot of money to ask for a prescription and gave Prince Zhongshun a copy...... The concubine's birthday is not far away......" The eunuch said this, and couldn't help laughing: "Father-in-law Zhang also has a good idea, and he has ordered the clan to prepare a workshop, just waiting for the concubine's birthday, you can sell these two secret medicines with great fanfare." It is said that in this workshop, Father-in-law Zhang also left some shares for the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother. β
When I heard this, I couldn't help but shake my head: "This old thing, loyalty is loyalty, but what can I do? The queen mother and the concubine still lack this bit of money from him." β
There is no shortage of wonders, the royal family is rich all over the world, that is, it is a mouthful, otherwise, why pay attention to thrift everywhere.
Although the truth is so, it is not possible to say it.
The eunuch smiled and patted his ass and said, "The Queen Mother and the Concubine naturally don't lack anything. Because the Queen Mother and the Concubine Niangniang lack nothing, Father-in-law Zhang is still worried about what to give to the concubine's birthday?"
What a wise person today, naturally he also heard the meaning of the eunuch's words, the beauty prescription that Gonggong Zhang originally prepared to give to the concubine Niangniang has been given to Prince Zhongshun, so it is naturally not good to send it out again, not to mention that the concubine's birthday is approaching, and it is not easy to re-purchase the birthday gift.
Imakami smiled, opened the book, and said meaningfully: "That old dog found it himself." β
Before the words fell, I heard someone outside the hall say: "The king of Beijing County asks to see the saint." β
The smile on Jinshang's face faded instantly, a trace of imperceptible displeasure flashed in his eyes, and his eyebrows raised: "Why is he here?"
In Rongguo's mansion, a cold wind came, Jia Cong, who was standing under the plum tree, couldn't help but shiver, the cold wind hit his face, his heart was cold, and his face inevitably showed an impatient look.
But his expression made Mrs. Xing look at it in her eyes, and she was angry again, pointing at Jia Cong and scolding: "I'll say a few words about you, your eyes are not eyes, and your nose is not nose." You still went to school, and that's what you teach. I'll say a word or two in vain, and you'll send bad seeds everywhere, black hearts, whatever......"
In the final analysis, it was Jia Cong who talked nonsense in front of Prince Zhongshun Changshi.
Jia's mother looked at Mrs. Xing unpleasantly, and felt that she taught bad children, Jia Yu was like that, she was not willful enough because of Jia Yu, and even let the child take the blame for Jia Yu.
Sister Feng and Jia Lian also blamed Mrs. Xing, Jia Yu was originally confused, and he had to find something for Jia Lian to find out if he had nothing to do, this matter was due to Prince Zhongshun to find out clearly, otherwise, according to Jia Yu's temperament, maybe he really heard this, so he pushed the matter on Jia Lian, Prince Zhongshun was furious, how could Jia Lian be good?
Jia Yu also felt that Mrs. Xing was not, originally everyone said that he wrote it, and his swear didn't work, and finally someone said that it wasn't him, but the result was empty joy.
What's more, after Jia Cong said that, even if he found evidence and said that it was written by someone else, probably some people would not believe it, Jia Cong only felt that he was simply unlucky, how could he marry such a wife.
Everyone blames Mrs. Xing, then Jia Cong is not responsible, not really, at least Mrs. Xing is going to trouble Jia Cong.
For this, Jia Cong had expected it, didn't he just be scolded?
He is used to it, anyway, Mrs. Xing has nothing to scold people, just take it as the wind in his ears, and just blow it.
But he never expected that Mrs. Xing would not be so cheeky that she would open her mouth and scold in front of the public, and she actually had a posture of scolding more and more, and she was not afraid of people watching at all.
Think about Aunt Zhao, looking for trouble, is also making trouble in the house, who has ever seen Aunt Zhao rolling in the garden.
is a big wife, but she is not as sensible as the aunt in the second room.
Mrs. Xing is not afraid of shame, but Jia Cong is a little unbearable, not that his skin is not thick enough, but that the weather is too cold.
He is not like Mrs. Xing when he scolds, he can still shake his body to warm up, just standing and listening to the cold wind blowing, his face is frozen, Jia Cong can't maintain the expression on his face, that is a normal thing.
Mrs. Xing was really angry, she treated Jia Cong, although she didn't pay much attention to it, but it wasn't only Jia Cong that she didn't care, and she didn't pay attention to the Spring Festival.
But only Jia Cong often finds trouble for her, and Mrs. Xing was pardoned by Jia's mother and Jia because of Jia Cong, and it is not once or twice.
Mrs. Xing's heart was itchy with hatred, and she scolded for a while, and the stuffiness in her chest dissipated a little, but when she saw Jia Cong's facial paralysis again, this qi immediately surged up again, and her teeth were bitten, and her hands couldn't help but rise.
Just when Mrs. Xing was about to slap her down, suddenly, the little maid next to Jia Yu hurriedly ran over and saluted: "The eldest master called Brother Cong to come over immediately." β
Jia Yu looking for him?
Jia Cong was stunned.
Mrs. Xing snorted, and said coldly: "Bastard thing, there are good ones for you, don't get over quickly." β
Jia Cong followed the little servant all the way to Jia Yu's outer study, and only heard someone talking inside, "Who doesn't know that Zhao Guoji has made a fortune recently, bought two big houses, and took care of many people to do work, and now the workshop is open, and the steward is in charge, so he can be prestigious? Everybody says it's amazing......"
Jia Cong felt that this voice was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while, and he was thinking about it.
The little guy has replied to Jia Yu and said that Jia Cong is here.
Jia Yu said inside, "Tell him to come in." β
As soon as Jia Cong entered, he saw Qian Huai kneeling on the ground, and Lin Zhixiao standing behind, with a taciturn posture.
As soon as he saw Qian Huai, Jia Cong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Qian Huai was really, he was sold cleanly, and he didn't drag his feet at all, if the person who was betrayed had nothing to do with him.
Jia Yu sat on the chair, suppressed the anger in his chest, and asked Qian Huai again: "Then Zhao Guoji, did you say where did the book he sold come from?"
Qian Huai lowered his head and replied: "The little one also asked, but Zhao Guoji only said that someone in the house asked him to sell it." β
"Bastard!" Jia Yu came up angrily.
He pointed at Jia Cong and said, "And you, come here...... How much do you know about Zhao Guoji. β
"I ...... I don't know!" Jia Cong seemed to be stunned.
