It is said that in the early spring of this year, the joy of the New Year has not gone, and a will suddenly passed down in the palace. Today, the concubines in the palace have been in the palace for many years, and they want to come to their parents and families who miss each other and can't see each other. Jingzhong was in an uproar, and they all praised this as a strange event in the past and the present. At one time, the people who had their daughters in the palace who had been favored by the saints were all busy, looking at the land, buying wood and stone antiques, and buying wood and stone antiques, which was very lively.

Gong Kun was not in a hurry to collect debts from various families, but waited leisurely for the debtors to come to the door with the money. No one asked him where the news came from, but he told him again and again, if there is news in the palace, it doesn't matter which piece, just sell it. In this way, he put on as many as 500,000 taels of empty gloves for the white wolf.

Jia Cong has never had so much money in his two lives. At first, I was happy for a long time when I knew the number, but now that I have seen the silver ticket, my eyes are brighter and brighter. After thinking about it for a while, he looked at Gong Kun and sighed: "I only understand today that people really change. ”

Gong Kun asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Jia Cong said: "My plan is to secretly hide some strength to protect myself and spend my life. Later, I got several trustworthy people, and with your help, I still have so much silver. I felt that ambition was starting to grow out from under my idleness. ”

Gong Kun smiled: "I'm afraid that my ambition has woken up." ”

Jia Cong glanced at him.

Gong Kun said: "The third master was only so thoughtful and willing to teach Liu Feng to read and write, why didn't he think of teaching Lan Xiang Ziguang to read?" ”

Jia Cong was stunned and said with a wry smile: "That's ...... I'm having a hard time, and I'm hell-bent on pleasing my dad. My dad values those pro-soldier uncles, and the pro-soldier uncles value their children, and their children want to study. ”

Gong Kun said: "If it's just for this, it's enough for the third master to treat Weiss alone." How troublesome it is to teach so many people to read, the third master is a person who is afraid of trouble. ”

Jia Cong thought for a while: "Yes." At that time, he had already had other thoughts, but he didn't notice it. "Yizhi, if I ask my father for another person, will he agree?" ”

Gong Kun asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Jia Cong said: "It's a guard." ”

Gong Kun said: "The third master's house is too small to live in. Unless there's a yard. ”

"Courtyard ......" Jia Cong turned the map of Rongguo Mansion around in his mind and said, "That can only blow the Xue family out and seek Lixiang Courtyard." ”

Gong Kun said with a smile: "This is not easy, does the third master have an idea?" ”

Jia Cong pouted and said, "Hey, you're the strategist." Why do you wonder why they are in our house? It's not that I don't have money, I heard that there is a house in Beijing. ”

Gong Kun said: "What if their family is rich? This is the capital, full of dignitaries and nobles on the street, and the uncle of the Xue family is incompetent. If he hadn't relied on your house and borrowed your name, and with how much money he had, the magnates, fathers-in-law, and slaves would have been eaten together in less than two years. ”

Jia Cong said: "And Wang Ziteng, isn't it?" ”

Gong Kun said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the uncle of the Xue family is unwilling to be restrained by his maternal uncle." ”

Jia Cong sneered: "Wang Ziteng's own son is only managed like that, will he still care about him?" I heard that the second wife has been trying to borrow money from Aunt Xue, and they will not leave again, but they are afraid that they will be hollowed out. ”

Gong Kun said: "With Xue Pan here, if you don't get hollowed out by this head, you must be hollowed out by others." Both horizontal and vertical are digging, and whoever digs is the same. The second wife can still get ideas out if she can't keep it even. ”

Jia Cong was speechless for a long time and said, "We are really all the way...... I thought about it a long time ago, and sure enough, the second wife wouldn't have been able to come up with the money without them. ”

Gong Kun smiled: "Didn't the third master turn his face when he got cheap?" ”

Jia Cong snorted: "The master and they have never met their faces, where to turn up." ”

That night, he went to find Jia Yu, pulled him to be coquettish, and said in a low voice: "Dad, I want to live in Lixiangyuan." ”

Jia Yu first frowned, and then glanced at him pretending to be indifferent: "What about the Xue family?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Try to get them to move out." Now that the saint has decreed and all the ladies are ready to save their relatives, the eldest sister in the palace still has not moved, and she is about to wait for the age to be released. I heard that the second wife finally understood that this matter was no fun recently, and she cried earth-shattering every day; Aunt Xue probably also knew that it was time to wake up from the dream of the Xue family's sister entering the palace to be a mother. Take advantage of this time to drive the Xue family to the Wang family. ”

Jia Yu said: "I don't bother to care about these troubles, if you can blast them out, I will let you live." ”

Jia Cong was overjoyed: "Really? If the ancestor doesn't agree? ”

Jia Yu snorted: "If you move in, you can't come out, what can she do to you?" In the future, I will prepare some fighting with you to guard the yard, and the few girls under her hand can withstand half a trick and count them as talented. ”

Jia Cong jumped up with joy: "Dad, you're so good!" I was thinking I'd get you a few more thugs in a few days. ”

Jia Yu glanced at him: "What do you want to do with a fight?" ”

Jia Cong smirked twice and said, "Prepare first, don't make sure you do anything in the future." ”

Jia Yu stared at him for a while and asked, "How many?" ”

Jia Cong said: "There must be more than a dozen." ”

Jia Yu nodded: "This is easy to do." It's just that I'm afraid that the old lady will say bad things about you when she comes to some relatives who don't know anything about you. ”

Jia Cong smiled: "She can't help her father when she says bad things about her father every day, besides, how big an idea do I have?" When I grow up, I'll remember these gossip ghosts. Besides, I'm in high school in the coming days, and my reputation and character are the sages, Uncle Lin's Mr. Su has the final say, and she has the final say? ”

Jia Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "You kid is the most ghostly." That's it, just go. ”

Jia Cong waved his arm happily and said, "It's decided!" He ran out and came back after a while, "Dad! Hook! ”

Jia Yu was amused for a while, and bombarded him: "Go!" Children do it. ”

Jia Cong stuck to him and coquettishly said: "It's a child, daddy pulls the hook and pulls the hook~~"

Jia Yu looked cute at him, and really stretched out his finger to hook him. Jia Cong shouted "Thank you, Dad" and ran away.

A few days later, Xue Pan was drinking in the flower building, because he drank two more glasses, stumbled to relieve himself, and was dizzy and ready to go back to the table. Suddenly, someone kicked him from behind, and Xue Panden fell into the mud. Before he could open his mouth to curse, someone gagged his mouth with a handkerchief, and another bag put his head around from behind, twisted his arms and stuffed him into a room near his left.

Xue Pan was anxious and afraid, struggling for a long time, the hands that twisted him were like iron, he struggled not to move, and he couldn't shout, and his eyes were dark for a while.

When I entered the room, I heard someone ask, "Is that him?" Did you see it? ”

The one who grabbed him said, "It's this kid, I never looked away!" He kicked Xue Pan in the back and kicked him to the ground, and stepped on his back again.

Someone sneered: "It's easy to rob people with our master, and don't inquire about our master!" ”

Another asked, "Who is this kid who is not afraid of death?" ”

The one in front said: "It doesn't matter who he is, he will beat him up first to vent his anger to the master!" When he went back to check, he left him here if he was easy to provoke, and chopped off his mouth if he was not easy to provoke. ”

Xue Panden struggled desperately, and the foot that he stepped on his back was extremely strong, struggling and not moving, and could only make a "whine" sound in his mouth. The foot suddenly lifted, and before Xue Pan could get up, a burst of punches and kicks fell like raindrops, mixed with a lot of abuse, and Xue Pan was beaten like mud and couldn't move. At first, he wanted to make a sound, but then he couldn't even get angry, so he had to hold his head and hold on.

I don't know how long it took, but it was easy to get hold of these people until they finished fighting, and only then did they say a few words of silence, when someone came in from outside, and obviously said with a smile: "I asked, it's okay." This kid is not a character. ”

Xue Pan had the heart to tell them that he was Uncle Xue, and he was afraid that he would really be killed, and he couldn't speak at this time, so he had to fall to the ground and pretend to be dead.

Someone kicked him again: "I haven't moved for half a day, don't kill me." ”

The spy smiled and said: "It's okay to be killed, if it was just a few years ago, but now it doesn't matter." This kid's surname is Xue, a merchant from Nanjing, who killed people in Jinling in the early years and came to the capital to avoid trouble, and is related to the second wife of Rongguo Mansion, and the whole family lives in that mansion. It's a pity that the two rooms of Rongguo Mansion are not compatible, in the past, they were the head of the second room, and they took the pieces in the house out at will, and the Xue family mixed well. Now that the second room has fallen early, I can only get Jia Zheng's film. Jia Zhengcai is a petty official from the fifth grade, who cares about him. ”

The other smiled and said: "It turned out to be him, isn't it the Xue Da fool that people often say?" The best one to coax money, no matter what the powder is in the kiln, but if he doesn't look too unsightly, he can get a lot of money by dangling it in front of him and flattering him for a few words. I heard that the second wife of Rongguo Mansion was greedy for the public account, and forced her to repay the money after the big house was found out, but the woman was reluctant to give up her private house, and in the end, it was the Xue family who paid back hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for her, but I don't know if it's true. ”

Another said: "Why did I hear that the second wife preached every day that her daughter wanted to be a mother, and the Xue family believed it was true, and also wanted to send her daughter to the palace to seek some wealth, so she bribed her?" ”

Another said, "None of the gossip you've heard anywhere." What I heard was true. The daughter of the Xue family wants to marry the son of the second room of the Jia family, and the hundreds of thousands of silver are the dowry money in advance. ”

The one in front of him smiled and said, "I have never heard of dowry advances since ancient times, where did you hear the gossip." ”

This person said: "A few months ago, I heard what Yulan said in Cuixiang Building, and she also listened to what the guests said. The guest was the chief steward of the second room of the Rongguo Mansion at first, and the most ruthless of the two rooms suffered at that time, so he let the big house go straight out and sell it; Fortunately, his son-in-law was originally outside, and he paid for his father-in-law's family. Now he doesn't have much money or skills, so he mixes in the kiln every day. His son-in-law also has a conscience, because at first he relied on the power of his father-in-law at the beginning of his business, so he treated him well. Later, he met some girl in the second wife's house, listened to some gossip, and said that he would listen to Sister Yao'er if he had nothing to do. ”

He paused, and then said: "The son of the Xue family - that's it, he doesn't have any fart skills, he will only make trouble with money one day, the wife of the Xue family is afraid that he will cause trouble again, and she sees that the second room of Rongguo Mansion is out of power, and she is afraid that he will get into big trouble in the future, and Rongguo Mansion will ignore it more and more, so she spent four or five hundred thousand silver to stuff her daughter into the stone, so it is not an official eunuch, and she will be regarded as having a waist in the future." ”

Another laughed and said, "What a shallow woman! What about the relatives of the eunuchs? The capital is not as good as Jinling Mansion. At the bottom, the yamen is open, and there is no reason to come in; In Beijing, there is money and no officials. If their family goes to lawsuit, no one will pay attention to him if they can't get the seal letter from Rongguofu. I've heard that some people are starting to attack their family now, and I'm afraid that after a while, they will be tempted by trouble. But if the two lawsuits are fought and they can't do anything, everyone can understand that this is a good fat sheep. The meat is in the pot, and everyone has soup to drink, just see who starts quickly. If you can't keep it, the second wife will cut it first. ”

The one in front said: "The advance of the dowry is the second wife's own calculation, Jia Zheng and the old lady of their family don't know, this family will not succeed in the future." ”

Someone else laughed and said: "If you can't get married, you won't have to pay back the money." ”

"Also? That's it, the second wife of Rongguo Mansion is so greedy that she is about to smoke, the money in the oil pot is fished out and hidden, half of the capital knows, it is better to expect her to repay the money than to count on Rongguo Mansion to raid the house! ”

The crowd laughed.

After laughing, someone asked, "Then what to do with this person?" ”

Another said, "What else to dispose of?" Life or death has nothing to do with us, go back and receive the reward! ”

A group of people laughed a few times, and came over and kicked Xue Pan a few times before leaving.

Xue Pan was already stupid at this time, and the whole person was as cold as Layue drinking cold water, and he didn't even remember the pain, lying on the ground motionless.

On the other side, because he was gone, the little girl who was with him couldn't wait for their uncle for a long time, and the one who ate wine with him smiled and said, "Don't fall into the pit." ”

The boys were afraid that they would not be able to explain when they went back, so they were busy looking around, and asked the people of Hualou to help them find it. After searching for a long time, I finally saw a person lying on the ground in an empty room, wearing the clothes of their uncle, and came to take a look, with a cloth bag on his head. The boys hurriedly took off the cloth bag to take a closer look at the face—although it was bruised, purple and swollen, they could still tell that it was actually their uncle, but they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and they couldn't help but cry.

After a while, someone from Hualou came over and probed Xue Pan's snort with his fingers, and said, "Don't cry, you're still alive." Then he lifted him up, and followed by a crowd of people who watched the excitement and made a commotion into the room where he was eating. Someone brought him some incense and smelled it for a while, and it took him half a day to come to his senses.

Xue Pan squinted his eyes and looked at these people in the house, closed his eyes and moaned a few words, now he can't drink like this, he just said that he was going home.

Xiao Qi'er was busy and carried him downstairs, and several people wanted to help him get on the horse. A friend who was drinking behind him scolded: "Confused! How can you ride a horse like this? Don't hire a car yet. Xiao Qi'er hurriedly called a carriage on the street to stuff Xue Pan into it and dragged him back to Lixiangyuan.
