It is said that there is an idler in Beijing whose surname is He Mingshun, who is in his thirties and has no business life, and he goes to the casino to hang out every day for a few dollars. Because of his quick legs and feet, he often helps people to let off steam, and when he encounters a market brawl that is not difficult to deal with, he also goes to help boxing, and when he gets money, he returns to Hualou to be merry and happy. He beat and scolded and scolded, but it was completely useless, so he had to leave his hands alone. He has an eldest sister who married into a good family, and often brought some money back, and the family still has some foundations, so it is not difficult.

On this day, He Shun and a few friends were drinking in Hualou, and because they drank too much, they walked bumpy. Another drunk man in a dark robe next to him also came over crookedly and collided with him! He Shun was about to scold his mother, but when he looked up, he saw that the person was a cut above him, and the diaphragm who bumped into his arm* was obviously a practitioner, and swallowed the ugly words again.

The friend who was holding the man next to him said, "I'm sorry for being tight, I'm not paying attention for a while." ”

Seeing that this person was also tall and mighty, He Shun didn't dare to speak, so he only snorted. He stood there for a moment, wanting to wait for the two of them to go before scolding or getting angry. When I looked up, I saw a few copper coins leaking out of the drunk's sleeve! He Shun's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly followed two steps to step on the copper coin, pretending to be dizzy and squatting down, and picked up the copper coin by the way. He said in his heart, although he didn't scold the thief, he could get a few benefits, and he would lose his own collision. Then he followed a short distance, and the drunkard fell another copper coin from his sleeve. He followed all the way, not to mention picking up one hundred and seventy or eighty copper coins.

Unconsciously, the drunkard's friend had helped him into a small teahouse, and when he entered the door, he called Xiao Er to come to tea, and said to the drunk man to drink some tea to relieve hangover. He Shun thought that his fortune was at the end of today, and he was hesitating to leave, when the drunkard actually dropped a small ingot of silver in his sleeve! He Shun's heart beat like a drum and walked over slowly. At this moment, several men strode over and walked through him and the drunkard. He Shunxin is about to jump out of his throat! Fortunately, none of them looked at him, and walked over on their own.

He was already half awake at this time, pretending to rub it upside down, stepping on the silver with one foot, squatting down with his forehead, scooping up his right hand, pinching the silver in the palm of his hand, and staggering to his feet. While standing and weighing, there are about three or four taels of silver! With a burst of joy, he quietly stuffed the silver into his sleeve, and pretended to take a few steps forward, sat down on the table near the man, and also called Xiao Er to tea and relieve hangover.

At one moment, the drunkard wanted to go to the hut, and his friend wanted to follow, but the drunkard would not let him, so he had to go by himself. How could He Shun let go of this opportunity? He pretended to be respectful and followed the drunkard back. Who knew that although the drunkard was unsteady under his feet, he walked very fast, and there were many lentil racks in the backyard of this teahouse, which was quite an eyesore, He Shun was a little slower and didn't keep up, and the person was gone in the blink of an eye! Hurriedly ran a few steps. I saw a shadow of Xuanyi flashing in front of him, He Shun hurriedly ran over, and only saw a back. He Shun followed the back and walked for a long time, and suddenly felt that he had arrived at an alley he didn't recognize, and he was a little confused. After discerning the direction of the meeting, he hung his head and groped for a return to the teahouse--whether he could drop two coins when the drunken man left.

When passing by the corner of the alley, I saw a fork of rock sugar gourds leaning on a door pier, and there was a person who looked like a sugar gourd, looking around sneakily, and tiptoeing to the other end of the alley. He Shun suddenly felt that there was something wrong with this person, and he was going to have a private meeting with him, so he was curious, and he tiptoed up.

The seller of sugar gourds turned around a flower shelf, and He Shun followed him to stand behind the flower shelf, and just heard a sentence floating over from the other end, "The Seven Princes are very well raised in Rongguo Mansion." "He woke up drunk! Looking around again, the seller of sugar gourds and a man in a dark robe had gone out three or four feet away.

He Shun's heart suddenly felt like a monstrous wave. The Seven Princes have been missing for a long time without a trace, and it turns out that Rongguo Mansion is secretly raising them? Who said that Rongguofu and King Xian were already in the same air? Co-authoring Rongguo Mansion is a conspiracy under the nose of King Xian! Now this day is sooner or later the king's own. If you go to expose their family, you will be able to get a large amount of reward, not to mention, you can also raise your eyebrows in front of Lao Tzu Niang, and the two of them will talk about their incompetence every day!

After making up his mind, he only ran a few steps as if he was flying, and suddenly his thoughts flashed, and he turned back to the teahouse. I saw that the drunkard had gone back, and it seemed that he had relieved himself of some wine, and was eating tea and eating melon seeds with his friends. He Shun calmed down and ran to his sister's house.

His brother-in-law is none other than Zhao Cheng, the commander of the Five Cities Terracotta Division. There have been several changes in power in Beijing, and he is careful and will hold up the sycophants, but he has always stayed in office.

Zhao Chengping was extremely impatient with this brother-in-law, but he had a little bit of guilt, and for the sake of his daughter-in-law, he only nagged him a little bit. That night, Zhao Cheng went down to the yamen, and just after entering the house, the boy at the door said: "My lord, Uncle He is here!" ”

Zhao Cheng frowned: "Why is he here again!" ”

The kid said: "The slave looked at Uncle He's appearance, proud, as if there was something good. ”

Zhao Cheng snorted: "What good thing can he have, it's nothing more than winning two more handfuls of gambling money." Then he walked in.

He Shun was drinking tea on one wall of Zhao Cheng's study and laughing with the girl standing on the other wall, Zhao Cheng came in and coughed, so frightened that the girl jumped out. He Shun hurriedly stood up and frowned: "Brother-in-law! My brother-in-law and I have a great credit today! ”

Zhao Cheng glanced at him: "You only have a little peace and less gambling money and drink, which is a great credit to me." ”

He Shun jumped up to him in a few steps and said, "Brother-in-law, don't look down on people, I'm very capable!" ”

Zhao Cheng sneered: "Oh? Do you take a show before I come and take a look? ”

He Shun said: "What is the test show!" I got a piece of good news today, and I will ensure that you will be promoted and make a fortune! He lowered his voice and repeated what he had heard.

Zhao Cheng was shocked! "Impossible!"

He Shun sat down next to him, crossed his legs and hummed: "Rongguo Mansion is a wall grass!" ”

Zhao Cheng turned around the room with his hands behind his back, and said, "Impossible." Rongguofu and King Xian have always been good friends, how can they do such a thing! ”

He Shun said proudly: "If it weren't for the coincidence that I bumped into it today, King Xian would still be in the dark." ”

Zhao Chengdao: "But someone deliberately led you over?" You don't want to be a mallet and fall for someone else's job. ”

He Shun said: "I am the God of Wealth who helped me today and gave me a fortune!" Besides, I went back to see the man. ”

Zhao Cheng shook his head: "What's that?" Because of repeated thoughts, Xiang He Shun said, "Which teahouse did you drink tea in?" Lead me quickly. ”

The two of them returned to the teahouse where He Shun drank tea, and the boss Xiaoer recognized Zhao Cheng and was busy bowing.

Zhao Chengdao: "I heard that you have a drunk man in black today. "Push He Shun again.

He Shun hurriedly pointed out: "It's the one who sat there in the afternoon." He also compared and talked about the clothes of the half day.

The shopkeeper said: "There is really such a guest." ”

Zhao Chengdao: "He went to a thatched house halfway? ”

Xiao Er said: "Yes! The little one showed him the way. Because the thatched house was in the backyard of the small shop, there were a few lentil racks behind us, and he fainted as soon as he entered, and immediately came back and asked the villain to lead the thatched house. ”

He Shun clapped his hands and said, "How!" It is obvious that the gods are showing the way, and the God of Wealth is just here to lead the way to He Ye! ”

Zhao Cheng was still hesitant.

He Shun pulled him aside and pouted, "What are you waiting for, brother-in-law!" After demolishing them, can the virtuous king reward you? High-ranking officials are rolling in! ”

Zhao Cheng pondered for a long time, shook his head and said: "Rongguo Mansion has never liked to get involved in the affairs of the Heavenly Family, so why bother to go through that troubled water." ”

He Shun said: "I remember that one day the emperor will come back to be an official." I see that the general trend of King Xian has been decided, and what will happen when the Emperor Taishang returns. ”

Zhao Cheng only waved his hand.

On this day, Zhao Cheng had trouble sleeping and eating. One refused to believe what his brother-in-law heard, and the other couldn't let go of such a great achievement. After all, he is just a six-rank petty official, and once such things are wrong, Rongguofu only needs one finger to crush him. Ignore it and be unwilling. What if it's true? He has been a petty official for many years, and the court has changed so much, and many seven-grade and nine-grade sesame officials Zhu Zi are full of bodies, but he has never reaped half of the benefits. Think about it again. If it is true that the Seventh Prince is raised in Rongguo Mansion, only the child of the Han family raised by their eldest wife. It's just that it was too chaotic at the time, and it was too difficult to find out at this time.

He then sent a caring catcher to the left side of the Han family's house to investigate. Most of the neighbors over there also moved away, and a tongue-in-law heard him inquiring about the little brother of the Han family, and came up and said, "That kid is really lucky!" He was originally raised by Uncle Han with the same fan outside, and he didn't get into the door for several years. Mrs. Hou Han couldn't raise her son in the end, so she had no choice but to take him in. Isn't this a good number? A pink-raised wild seed was actually recorded in the name of a serious wife! It's only been a month, Uncle Han got into trouble, and his house was copied! Later, his family mixed up in the Muni Courtyard in the north of the city, and the two masters of the Han family died one after another, leaving only the two old mothers who were originally serving by Mrs. Han's side, where would they be willing to raise their pink-headed sons! The wild seed saw that it was starving to death, and there was a noble man's wife who wanted to raise a son by his side, but it happened that the noble man was recognized in the Muni Courtyard, so he recommended him. It is said that the noble man has fiery eyes, but he can't see that he is a wild seed, and he really took it back! I heard that now I am wearing silk and satin, and eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, I am more blessed than the children of serious people. Then he pointed to the courtyard of their house and smacked his lips, "Even the house is coming back for him." I don't know if it's in his own name or if the nobleman who raised him can go. ”

The catcher quickly listened to what she said, and believed it for seven or eight points. I went back to the Muni Temple to investigate, and there were still people who remembered this, and sure enough. It's just that although the child who recommended this child to the eldest lady of Rongguo Mansion was her brother, her niece daughter married into the Dingcheng Hou Mansion! In this way, Zhao Cheng became suspicious again. It is also entrusted to someone to check the household registration, which is generally as the long-tongued woman said.

Zhao Cheng's heart became more and more upside down, and he didn't know whether to believe it or not. His daughter-in-law saw that he was dying, so she said, "Why don't you go and test it?" If so, they will always have a little weakness in their hearts; If not, it will save you from being so worried. According to me, it must be false. Shun'er didn't have that luck when he was a child, where could he bump into such a good thing! ”

Zhao Cheng thought about it, and there was some truth. After thinking about it for a long time, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet on this day, preparing to go to Rongguo Mansion to test one or two. It's just that he changed his regular clothes and official clothes several times, and finally wore the official uniform.

When he got off the horse in front of the Rongguo Mansion, he first asked the boy at the door, "Who is in the mansion of your family?" ”

The kid said: "The second master of Bao, the third master of Huan, and the third master are all here." ”

Zhao Cheng asked, "Isn't Zhenggong here?" ”

The kid straightened his waist and said, "The second master has a literary meeting today, and he went out to the banquet." ”

Zhao Cheng secretly called it unfortunate. It's just that he dared to pass after a few days of mustering, and let him go back and wait for Jia Zhengzai to come back one day, but I'm afraid he won't be able to wait. Then he said: "The next official is Zhao Cheng of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and he asks to see the two third masters of your family." ”

The boy answered, and ran in, and was asked to sit in the porter first.

After a while, the kid came over and said, "Lord Zhao, our family is invited!" ”

Zhao Chengqiang smiled and went inside with that kid, as if he had twenty-five little rats in his heart, scratching his heart with a hundred claws! So he went to Baoyu's outer study in the past, Qi Fei Zhai, and now most of Shi Qiusheng stays here. The little brothers are here. Jia Huan changed into the clothes of the guest, but Jia Cong was dressed in a homely dress, and they all bowed to Zhao Cheng and said, "Lord Zhao, I haven't seen you for a long time." Zhao Cheng was busy returning the gift. A girl brought tea and snacks, and they exchanged a few more gossips.

After a while, Jia Huan asked, "Is there something wrong with Lord Zhao coming here today?" ”

Zhao Chengsui made a look of embarrassment: "There is something quite tricky, and I want to come to your mansion to show me." ”

The two brothers glanced at each other, and Jia Cong said, "What does it have to do with our family?" Could it be that there are minions doing evil outside? Adults don't have to cover up, just say that we will not shelter, and please deal with it according to the law. ”

Zhao Cheng hurriedly said: "That's not it. It's just ......" he was embarrassed again.

Jia Cong said: "What does a big man do when a scorpion stings?" Just talk about it. ”

Zhao Chengsui gritted his teeth and said, "I hope the two masters will forgive their sins...... The lower official got a report that the son raised by the eldest lady of your mansion was the queen of the criminal official. ”

Jia Cong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Could it be that Fang Xiong's crime is a crime, and Xian Wang Ping's anti-crime doesn't count?" ”

Zhao Cheng hurriedly said: "It's not that!" The person who reported the news said that he was not the son of Lord Han, but an impostor! ”

Jia Cong smiled: "It's easy, call him over and ask." Just say it first, he's so small, don't scare him. Zhao Chenglian claimed that it was.

Jia Cong immediately ordered someone to invite Uncle Xiao Han over, saying that his brother led him to meet a big official. Then he asked, "What son of a wicked officer is he who told the news?" Who is condemned? ”

Zhao Cheng said with a smile: "This subordinate can't say it." ”

Jia Huan snorted: "The criminals who suffered in the whole family for a while were all convicted by Fang Xiong, and King Xian didn't care about everything. ”

Jia Cong glanced at him: "There are 80,000 soldiers and horses!" Brother Xianwang is an idle king, do you take care of the family's nursing home? ”

Jia Huan pursed his lips.

For a while, a big girl led Han Quan over, Jia Cong smiled and beckoned: "Come and see you!" This is Lord Zhao Cheng, the commander of the Five Cities Terracotta Division. ”

Zhao Cheng hurriedly raised his eyes to see the child, who looked white and chubby, dressed in red flutter like a New Year's doll, hung a gold collar on his neck, hung a name lock, and jingled many sachets, purses, jade pendants and other things, and there was an ink strip on his sleeve.

Jia Huan also saw the ink strip, and laughed: "It's on the sleeve, if it's on the face, it will become a little flower cat." ”

Han Quan let out an "ah": "When did you leave it!" I didn't know! ”
