It is said that Jia Cong and the others let go of Xiao Qi of the Liu family, and after waiting for seven or eight days, there is nothing else to do except that the Liguo Mansion will no longer harass Yihong Courtyard. In the past few days, Situ Pan's people have been busy, and Jia Cong is lazy every morning, and in the afternoon he goes to Yanwang's Mansion to help come up with ideas or goes to the Tai Hospital to see the doctors to experiment with cowpox. Shi Li has been living in Lixiangyuan recently, and he goes out to busy him during the day and goes back to Lixiangyuan for dinner.

When Jia Cong came back on this day, Shi Li slumped on the rattan chair and said lazily: "Didn't you say that Old Man Liu would come?" How many days have you been waiting? ”

Jia Cong paralyzed opposite him: "Do you want to~~ Their family has been trapped in Da Nei for several lifetimes." Even if you know the news outside, go out on a mission, and live outside with a large family are completely different things, you will be a little at a loss. Others can rely on him, he is the backbone of the whole family; He himself can only consult with the Liguo Mansion, and the Liguo Mansion can only consult with Liu Biao. The surname Gao hooked up with the little widow, and the Ouchi Liu family obviously didn't know. Now, if they are suspicious of the Liguo Mansion, they will have to find someone else to consult. What about us, we have a good impression of their family, but we don't have a good impression of Liguofu, and Sister Chen is the successor of Liu Xinxin, so she has invisibly become the second choice outside of Liguofu. ”

Shi Li said: "Why don't you come yet, I still have a lot of things to do at night." ”

"I don't have enough people to add a few more." Jia Cong said, "How stupid I am to be tired." ”

"I like it."

"I wish you a happy struggle." Jia Cong shrugged his shoulders, stood up and went into the house to change his clothes.

After a break for dinner, the three of them lit a big sheep's horn lamp and fought the landlord in the yard, and the loser put a note on his face. Seeing that it was almost the second watch, I only heard the sound of a gentle knock on the door outside, and a small servant went out to open the door, and it was really Mr. Liu who came. Jia Cong glanced at Shi Li triumphantly, got up and stepped forward to greet him.

Mr. Liu was stunned when he saw Jia Cong. The little servant reminded in a whisper: "Third master! ...... face"

Jia Cong suddenly remembered that there was still a note on his face, and hurriedly ripped it off and smiled: "Hehehehe, hey, don't mind." Mr. Liu shook his head with a smile. Jia Cong Nai asked, "Is the old gentleman sitting in this courtyard or going inside?" ”

Mr. Liu pondered for a moment and said, "It's in the courtyard, it's cooler." Jia Cong nodded and ordered someone to bring a few tables and chairs. Chen Ruijin and Shi Li both came forward to greet him, and Mr. Liu glanced at Shi Li a few times without asking him where he came from. He and Jia Cong sat face to face.

After taking a sip of tea, Jia Cong asked, "But is it because the Liguo Mansion wants to fight the idea of the hidden phoenix residence?" ”

Mr. Liu smiled bitterly: "Thinking about it, there is no one to discuss." As the saying goes, the bystander is clear. Mr. Jia is an outsider, so he understands better. Now Li Guogong said that Gao Gongzi did not know that the widow of the Wang family had something to do with the hermit phoenix, and the palace also said that Gao Gongzi's disappearance had nothing to do with them. ”

Jia Cong smiled: "Do you believe in it? ”

Mr. Liu said: "It doesn't look like lying. Besides, what does the Liguo Mansion do when it is stained with the hidden phoenix? ”

Jia Cong said: "Investigate! You see, Li Guogong also knows that his children and grandchildren are not successful, and there is nothing he can do with them. Fortunately, there is your home. Once upon a time, all the power in the world was in the hands of saints. Your branch stays in Ouchi, and if the Son of Heaven wants to take care of the government, he must be careful about you. Now that you are out of the palace, it will be more beneficial for them, and you will come and go often, and it doesn't matter if you are in the palace. He has to find out what you can do about your family, so that he can know how you can help them. ”

Mr. Liu's brows moved: "How can you help their family?" ”

"Like, how much money do you really have? If you can't make ends meet, how much will you agree to? Jia Cong blinked, "In addition to money, there are also people." What will you do to help them? What a help, wouldn't it be a pity to leave it in vain? Nai said with a smile, "It's such a big piece of fat, you have to weigh how many catties and taels it is, and how much you can eat at home." ”

Mr. Liu was stunned, and only after a while did he say: "Let Gao Gongzi hook up with Miss Jiang, can you know our family's catties?" ”

Jia Cong waved his finger and said, "Mr. Liu, don't stand in your own position and watch. First of all, you see, our family knows that the noodle shop was opened by the Queen Mother, and it was by chance; Your house knows because you have come out of the Great Interior. Li Guofu doesn't know! They just heard from Hualou that there was a noodle shop that had something to do with Yinfengju, and that person had a small business and a lot of money, so it was obvious that there was another unsightly business. Upon further inquiry, the man was dead! It's hard to avoid curiosity. What if you can know the source of goods from this person's daughter-in-law? It's best to do business without capital. The little widow is beautiful, and the surname is high, and she is the eldest young master of the Hanlin family who has just died of her daughter-in-law, and it is easy to hook up. And that boss Wang is obviously a side drummer, and hooking up with his daughter-in-law may not alarm your family. He just didn't expect that Gao Gongzi would disappear. ”

Mr. Liu frowned slightly, and sighed for a while: "The old man only wishes to have nothing to do with these things. ”

Jia Cong held his chin and said, "How is that possible, your family is simply a three-year-old child with gold in the market, not to mention that Liguo Mansion is already very poor." By the way, did the old man Liu Biao invite you to live in Liguo Mansion? ”

Mr. Liu looked at him: "What do you mean by that?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Many years ago, Aunt Xue took her children to the capital. My second aunt kindly invited them to stay with their whole family. Oh, this is the yard. He stretched out his finger and pointed, "It's not small, there is a door facing the street, and you can enter and exit freely." Nai paused, "Later, my second aunt sued Aunt Xue and wanted Brother Baoyu and Sister Xue to marry. Of course, she didn't tell her sister-in-law Baoyu's brother, she actually couldn't be the master. Later, she borrowed hundreds of thousands of silver from Aunt Xue for various reasons, but naturally she didn't pay it back, and she didn't know where it went. In the end, it was Brother Xue who went crazy and wanted to go back, and he tore his face seriously. It's just that how many ordinary people can be like Brother Xue, willing to tear their faces with relatives for a few stinky money? Most of them are dragged on for a year, and it's just dragged and dragged on. ”

Mr. Liu took a soft breath. In the past few days, there have been thieves in the Faxiang Temple every night, although they don't pay attention to all of them, after all, it is annoyingly tight. I also took a few questions, all of which said that it was gossip that came from nowhere on the road recently, and there were many silver coins and treasures hidden in the family temple. If these words were really spread outside, the people in the green forest would not know how long they would be disturbed. Liu Biao then asked them to go to live in Liguofu, or go to live in some house in Liguofu. He was still hesitating, but after listening to what Jia Cong said, he immediately dispelled his thoughts.

Jia Cong looked at his face and said, "Obviously, let me say it." Surely you didn't live in the Liguo Mansion, but in their house? ”

Mr. Liu shook his head: "Not yet, but the current place to live is really found with the help of their family." ”

"That's fast." Jia Cong sighed, "You thin-skinned people are better to deal with. Mr. Liu smiled dumbly. He's a thin-skinned head of the inner guard? Jia Cong saw what he thought and said, "Don't look at your high kung fu, that's called professional skills, and emotional intelligence are two different things." You're not spies after all, and it's not easy for you to blacken your face in front of your relatives. Not to mention the relatives who have helped your family a lot. ”

Mr. Liu said: "Our family will not live in the Liguo Mansion. ”

Jia Cong tilted his head: "The juniors have many mouths." Your family is so rich, it's easy to buy anything, why do you have to live in their house. The mouth of the eater is short, the hand of the taker is short, and the foot of the dweller is short. ”

Mr. Liu pondered for a moment and said, "I can't find a suitable place for a while. ”

Jia Cong said: "Isn't it okay to find a good middle-aged person?" Our family buys a house from someone looking for a house. There are 360 lines, and there are also people with high professional standards...... Well, I am very good at helping customers find houses. All you have to do is ask. Where, how big and how much you want to buy a house, they will help you select the most suitable one. It's easier if it's not bad money. ”

Mr. Liu frowned again: "I'm afraid that King Yan and the Empress Dowager are looking for our house." ”

"And!" Jia Cong glanced at him, "Old man, who are you!" Do you know how many people in the capital have the surname Liu? Are you always going to put a note on your forehead - first to protect the Liu family? In the eyes of the Chinese, you are just an ordinary guest. Nai paused, "Did the Liguo Mansion help you get your household registration?" ”

Mr. Liu shook his head: "We haven't gone to register yet. ”

"Huh?!" Jia Cong was shocked and looked at the old man for a long time. Although Shi Li had already found out that the Liguo Government had not entrusted anyone to buy a household registration for anyone recently. "This ...... Isn't it outrageous? ”

Mr. Liu said: "I'm afraid that the palace will notice." ”

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "The one in the palace can't even pass the palace wall, so what if he notices it." said that King Yan was about the same. If it's not convenient in Beijing, you can go somewhere else. The two were silent for a moment, and Jia Cong said, "Old man, do you want our family to help you?" How to say that Sister Chen is also the descendant of Lord Liu Xin. You can go wherever your family is from. Living outside the palace without a household registration road lead, where can it be? ”

Mr. Liu said: "Most of us have the same way as before. ”

"Oh, it's the head of the palace, it's fake."

Mr. Liu nodded.

"That's boring." Jia Cong said, "Life is like a family, half unsteady." I said, be honest. The princes have to toss for many years, don't think that the emperor will come back after two more years. Even if he comes back, where is there a place for him in the world? It's better to plan for the long term. ”

Mr. Liu was silent for a long time. At the end, he said: "If you really want to go to your hometown to get a household registration, you don't have to worry about your house." We've got our own way. ”

"Hmm." Jia Cong nodded, "Your whole family has plug-ins." It's good to be stable. ”

After a while, Mr. Liu asked, "Mr. Jia guesses, if it really has nothing to do with the palace, where is the child of the Gao family?" ”

Jia Cong held his cheeks and said, "That's the Qinglou Gambling House." ”

"Huh?"

"Under normal circumstances, a good person is gone, and most of them either let the fans hook up with the prostitute, or lose money in the gambling house and be detained." Jia Cong said, "Because he is the son of the Hanlin family, he wants to be more faced, and even if he loses money, he is not willing to tell the origin of the gambling house, I am afraid that he will lose his father's face." Well, it's still quite chaotic in Beijing now, and there are gangsters fighting in the market, and there are also pond fish that have been affected. This is not your strong point, you might as well count on the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. ”

Mr. Liu pondered for a moment and sighed lightly: "That's it." Disturb. ”

Jia Cong said: "Don't be so polite, you are an elder after all." ”

Mr. Liu smiled and said, "No wonder Daoist Zhenming will go to the south to help you, he really knows how to speak." ”

Jia Cong pouted and said, "They all say that I can't speak, it's like a mallet." Isn't it true that you are always an elder? Nai looked back at Chen Ruijin. Chen Ruijin came forward and made a blessing.

Mr. Liu looked at Shi Li, who was sitting next to him with a teapot and a plate of snacks: "That little brother is very skilled. ”

Shi Li hurriedly put down the teapot and hugged his fists and said, "The old-timers have won the prize." ”

"Which family are you? What is it called? ”

"The junior's name is Ah Hei, so I won't talk about it......"

Mr. Liu asked casually, but when he heard the words, he looked at him: "Could it be that I recognize it?" ”

Shi Li lowered his eyebrows and said, "I don't recognize it." ”

Mr. Liu took a closer look at his eyebrows: "It's really a little familiar." Shi Li smiled silently. Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Mr. Liu got up and said goodbye. Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin personally sent him out.

Turning back to the courtyard, Jia Cong glanced at Shi Li and said, "Hey, what kind of bloody grudge?" ”

Shi Li snorted: "I knew you would guess." ”

Jia Cong approached him: "Could it be that you are the lost child of their family?" Your last name is Liu? ”

Shi Li smiled and shook his head: "No, my real surname is Shi." Guess again! ”

"If it's not the child of the sister who lost contact with their family?"

"Not true. I'm not related to them. ”

"It's not a relative, it's a feud?" Jia Cong narrowed his eyes, "Their family has been ordered to assassinate what loyal ministers and good generals, are you an orphan?" ”

"Still didn't hit." Shi Li shook his head, "Hey, even Jia Cong can't guess it, and they can't guess it." ”

Jia Cong touched his nose: "Isn't that all there is to the story of dog blood?" What else could there be? He thinks you're familiar, there must be some reason. ”

Shi Lihaha smiled: "What are you doing these days to come to live in Lixiangyuan?" I just want to dangle in front of him. ”

"Ahh Jia Cong high-fived, "I guessed!" ”

"What?"

Jia Cong was so excited that he almost jumped on the table: "Could it be that you are the descendant of his lover?" Because he, as the leader of the Ouchi Guard, can't marry a woman from an ordinary family, so that woman can only marry someone else? ”

Shi Li still smiled and waved his hand: "No! Right! ”

Jia Cong really couldn't guess now. "What else is possible!" Earlier, he had never asked Shi Li's identity. He thought that if there was anything unusual, Jia Yu would sue him. Since he didn't say it, he must have been just an ordinary child who was adopted by Old Man Mu by chance. "Are you a child of the Situ family?"

Shi Li glanced at him: "I just told you that my surname is Shi." ”

"But I want someone's own life." Jia Cong rubbed his eyebrows, "Where to guess this." ”

"That's it, I'll guess later." Chen Ruijin said, "The ancestral home of Liguo Mansion is Chang'an. ”

Jia Cong nodded: "Therefore, they will go to Qin State to apply for household registration in the near future." I went back and wrote a letter to my aunt and asked her to help keep an eye on it. It is better to know the list of these people than not to know. Nai stretched his waist, "This mouth cannon is also strangely hard. Washed and slept. ”

He and Chen Ruijin went back to the house to clean up. Shi Li was still sitting in the courtyard alone.
