Saying that, Han Quancai entered the door, and Jia Huan first teased him for the ink strip on his sleeve.

Jia Cong smiled: "Don't bully children! Aren't we going to be like that then? Then Zhao Cheng ordered Han Quan to salute.

Han Quan saluted the guests and the two brothers in a dignified manner, and Jia Cong nodded and said, "What a decent little body, with the bearing of my childhood." "I got Jia Huan's eyes.

Zhao Cheng smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum: "This young master is good-looking, and he will be a gentleman in the future." ”

Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "That's it, if you want to be a gentleman, you have to go with Brother Baoyu, and Quan'er will always follow our brothers and become a little scoundrel." ”

Zhao Chengdao: "The third master laughed. Nai asked Han Quan, "Little brother, do you remember what your father looks like?" ”

Han Quan tilted his head and thought for a while, then shook his head.

Zhao Cheng asked again: "Do you remember what your mother looks like?" ”

Without waiting for Han Quan to speak, Jia Cong said first: "Even if he remembers, he can't draw, so it's hard to explain it clearly at such a young age." Lao Zhao, it's inconvenient for you to ask a four-year-old child these two questions. Then he asked, "What does Quan'er like to do on weekdays?" ”

Han Quan said crisply: "I like writing the most!" ”

Jia Huan couldn't help but glance at Jia Cong, and asked with a smile: "What do you dislike the most?" ”

Han Quan said with a small face: "I don't like to mix fat and powder the most." ”

Before the words fell, Jia Huan and Jia Cong laughed in unison, and even the girl on the side pursed their lips and laughed. Zhao Cheng also laughed.

Jia Cong asked again: "What does Huan'er want to do when she grows up?" ”

Han Quan said loudly: "Take the top prize!" ”

Jia Cong applauded: "Good boy, have a chance!" When I was so old with you, I just wanted to test the flowers, and you were more ambitious than me! ”

Han Quanqi said: "Why does the third brother want to explore the flowers? ”

Jia Cong said: "Because Uncle Lin is Tanhua." He was handsome, and I was quite envious of him, and I wanted to be like him. ”

Han Quan flashed his eyes and said, "I haven't even seen Uncle Lin." ”

Jia Cong said: "That's right. Gai Ming'er invited him to play, or let's go to their house to play. "Because of calling the girl who brought him in," Sister Mandarin Duck led him to the yard to play for a while. The mandarin duck answered and led Han Quan out.

Jia Cong then looked at Zhao Cheng and said, "It's already very clear." Asking children these words is actually asking adults, and adults will say whatever they teach them. The word "fat and powder" is not heard of by ordinary children who study. Lord Zhao should have no doubts. ”

Zhao Cheng thought about it, but he was afraid that he had learned some fat adjustment from his powdered mother at the beginning, which made his father and mother unhappy, so he taught him the answer now. Whether it is the palace or the eldest lady of Rongguofu, he can't teach him the four words "fat and powder". Thinking about the strip of ink on his sleeve again. The rules in the palace are strict, the living and eating are all exquisite, and the prince's demeanor is becoming more and more strict, and he will never get that on the sleeves of his shirt. Only children raised by ordinary people will be quite careless. Then he nodded and said, "That's true." He laughed again, "The lower officials are just in case, I'm afraid that someone in your mansion will be fooled." ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "It's not easy to fool our family, you have to have some skills." ”

Zhao Cheng hurriedly flattered him for a few words, then got up and said goodbye.

Jia Cong called Han Quan to come in, saying that it was "send Lord Zhao out of the house together." Zhao Cheng only said "don't dare to be", Jia Huan smiled: "Just do a etiquette demonstration for Xiao Quan'er, he hasn't learned to greet guests yet." The four of them arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Cong and Jia Huan hugged their fists at Zhao Cheng, and Han Quan followed by him. Zhao Chenggong arched his hand, flattered him a few more words, and beat the horse away.

There was a beggar sitting on the side of the road opposite Rongguo's mansion, and when he saw many people wearing bright clothes, he raised his eyes and looked over here. When I saw a three or four-year-old chubby doll, I couldn't help but take a few more looks.

The three returned to the mansion and shouted Mandarin Duck to send Han Quan back. On the way, Han Quan asked, "Sister Mandarin Duck, why did you let me answer like that?" I don't like to mix fat and powder......"

The mandarin duck bent down and said, "Now these two third masters have the final say in our house." Uncle Xiao Han has won their favor, and it will always be good for you in the future. You are wearing such a dress today, which is exactly what Bao Erye used to wear when he was a child. He's ...... both. I don't like the appearance of Bao Erye in the past. When Bao Erye was a child, he loved to adjust fat and make powder. Uncle Xiao Han said that he doesn't like to mix fat and powder, which means that he will not be like Bao Er Ye in the future. ”

Han Quan suddenly made a gesture to the mandarin duck: "Thank you Sister Mandarin Duck for mentioning something, there will be a reward in the future." ”

The mandarin duck smiled and waved his hand: "It's tormenting me, I'm just a girl, where can I afford the master's courtesy." So he sent him back to Mrs. Xing without mentioning it.

Zhao Cheng got off the yamen and went back to his daughter-in-law and said: "I'm afraid that Shun'er heard it wrong, I don't think that kid came out of the palace, he really has a fan-headed mother." ”

His daughter-in-law put down the needle and thread in her hand and said, "I just said that Shun'er didn't have that luck, didn't you?" Besides, people who do confidential things are extremely cautious and cautious in what they say and do, how can it be so easy for him to listen and only hear such ears? Headless and brainless. Bao Buqi is someone who wants to deal with the master and provoke you to provoke the Rongguo Mansion. ”

Zhao Cheng thought again: "It's just that the age of the child and the in-laws of their eldest wife's niece and niece happen to be that family?" It's too much of a coincidence. ”

His daughter-in-law hurriedly said, "Where is the coincidence? There are many relatives in the Dingcheng Marquis Mansion, all of whom are from these princes' families. There must be a family of relatives who have a boy who is three or four years old. Coincidentally, the daughter-in-law's maiden aunt raised a godson, who was exactly that age. They didn't find it from Rongguo Mansion, they found it from Dingcheng Hou Mansion! The relatives of the Dingcheng Marquis Mansion, no matter which master they are, they can't afford to provoke them, right? Now it's just Rongguo Mansion. If you have wronged their family, according to their family's skills, are you not an egg touching a stone? ”

Zhao Cheng said "oops": "That's right! Hurriedly holding his daughter-in-law's hand, "Yes, yes!" How can there be such a coincidence! The person who got drunk and dropped the money was all deliberate, and he sincerely took the money to lure Shun'er to go with him! Shun'er's temperament, when she sees the money, her eyes are straight, and she will inevitably take the bait. ”

His daughter-in-law continued: "He wears black, and the one who led Shun'er to listen to secrets also wears black, why is there such a coincidence?" It will be sincere. Oh sir, it's dangerous! You only say that you are a six-grade sesame official; As the saying goes, the county officials are not as good as the current management, you are in charge of a huge piece of the capital, and often talk to the nobles, and you can get a lot of benefits of filial piety, it is really a lot of benefits! Maybe how many people are staring. I've got you and the others are getting up. ”

Zhao Cheng suddenly realized! "I see! Thanks to having a good wife, Xia Guan never thought about this section clearly. A good wife is like a treasure! He sighed again, "It's a pity that I didn't come from the imperial examination, and I haven't been able to make you a lady of the imperial court for so many years." ”

His daughter-in-law took his hand and said, "What did the adults say!" Those who have read the Four Books and the Five Classics may not have the ability of adults, but they can only write a few articles. I don't think so. ”

The two of them became more and more slimy, and they survived overnight. As everyone knows, there is a person sitting on the beam of their house who can hear clearly, they turn off the lights and toss for a long time, only sit and hold their breath and concentrate, only to wait for the two to fall asleep and quietly open the door and slip out.

Two days later, He Shun was drunk in the flower building, pushed the door and went out to walk two steps, suddenly the door of a room opened, the figure flickered, He Shun was gone! After a long time, his friends didn't see him come back, so they all teased him and said, "Didn't he fall into the toilet", and looked for him everywhere. Eventually, he was found drunk in another room, but there was no one else in that room. Everyone laughed and pushed him, but he couldn't wake up, and he snored, so he had to leave it alone. When he woke up and got up and went home, he had no memory of how he got to the house, who he saw or what he said.

Later, he went to Zhao's house to ask about the great credit, and was scolded by his sister, and then advised: "Don't be so light on others in the future." Your brother-in-law is cautious this time, otherwise where will he be able to keep this idea! Even if you don't lose your position, you will lose your position. If he wasn't the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, how much money would he have for the six grades? Not to mention our family, you just don't think you can be as rich as you are now! ”

Frightened, He Shun hurriedly said: "Sister, don't worry, I won't again!" After a while, he said proudly, "Brother-in-law didn't lose anything, I got four taels of silver and one hundred and seventy-six copper coins for nothing!" ”

His sister scolded: "If you weren't so shallow-eyed, where would you be fooled!" He carried him and chattered for a long time.

He Shun's ears were calloused when he heard it, and he didn't dare to leave, so he had to listen hard.

After a few more days, people from the kings gradually came to Beijing to visit relatives and friends, and to meet famous people. The threshold of Lin Hai's house was about to collapse, and he was the only one missing. Jia Cong Jarvis went to tell him every day how wonderful and interesting things in Taiwan were and how majestic Lin Daiyu was, which made the old man yearn for a little.

On this day, the spring rain was dripping, from morning to night. Jia Cong returned to Lixiangyuan, cleaned up and got on the kang, and fell asleep after a while. He was woken up in a daze, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the tent had been lifted up, and someone was standing in his room.

Jia Cong sat up and rubbed his eyes for a long time, and said casually while rubbing: "The twilight rain is half a minute at night, and the gentleman on the beam knows it at night." He was still known by name and surname, and now he is half a king in the world. ”

The man laughed.

When Jia Cong heard that she was still a woman, she hurriedly said: "It's weird black, a lonely man and a widow, do you want a candle?" ”

The woman said, "It's not necessary, you're too young, I won't do it." ”

Jia Cong heard the familiar voice, thought for a while, and said, "I know, that Chen girl in Ping'an Prefecture." Well, if it were you, most of our guards would be decorations. Is there something wrong? ”

Chen said: "I was ordered to sue the third master for one thing. ”

"Huh?"

"Lord Zhao of the Five Cities Terracotta Division came to your mansion a few days ago, and he was attracted by someone. Now he is no longer suspicious, but we haven't found out who is behind the scenes. ”

Jia Cong was stunned: "Huh? The people behind the scenes? Who? Can you make it clear? Anyway, what did Lao Zhao come to do that day? ”

Chen said: "He came to test your mansion and seek merit. Then He Shun was hooked with more than 100 dollars and 4 taels of silver, and he listened to a sentence and said it again.

Jia Cong woke up in fright: "Just kidding! Who the hell! Sling the bull! Our family is a child of a scholarly family, how can it be related to the palace? Still can't make people live a good life? Our family has no friendship with the emperor, and we can't afford to raise a son for their family. Don't make an appointment, sister, we don't make an appointment! ”

Chen pursed his lips and smiled: "No one said that he was a child of the emperor's family, why are you in a hurry." ”

Jia Cong said: "Which one doesn't have a zipper on his mouth!" It's okay to pick things up. I said, Sister Chen, isn't your boss very powerful? Why can't I find out? ”

Chen said: "We have checked these days, but we really can't find out. Moreover...... It is extremely inconvenient for us to act these days. ”

Jia Cong sat on the kang and gasped for breath for a long time, and the sound of breathing in the dark was heavy and long, which made people uncertain. So he got up with his cloak on, and walked about the house with his shoes on. With a stick of incense, he sat back on the kang in a dejected manner: "I'm not afraid of stealing, I'm just afraid of worrying." ”

Chen said: "The people behind the scenes will not dare to really make a move, Fang has made such a big detour." Otherwise, wouldn't it be cheap for him to go straight to Situ Pan? ”

Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "I'm afraid he also guessed." He suddenly let out an "ah" and high-fived, "Isn't it?!" He guessed too! Since he guessed, he would not know whether it was true or false, so he went around the bend and plucked Zhao Chenglai to test it. Now the temptation is over, no! Presumably he had dismissed his thoughts. Nai breathed a sigh of relief, "There is nothing in the world, and mediocre people disturb themselves." I said Sister Chen, don't scare me if it's okay, I'm a timid person who is not scared. ”

Chen shook his head: "Hengzhu, you should be careful. ”

Jia Cong smiled: "Nothing, nothing." Besides, it's a blessing or a curse, and if it's a curse, you can't avoid it, so what's the matter. The sky fell, and the tall man was on top of it. ”

Chen said: "Now that you know, I'm leaving." Then he turned and left.

Jia Cong waved his paw on the kang: "The eldest sister is so good to go!" Please help me close the door, thank you~~"

Chen turned his head and glared at him, but unfortunately it was too dark in the room for Jia Cong to see.

The next day, Jia Cong did what he should do as usual, and did not go to Han Quan's side to be more vigilant, nor did he let Rongguo Mansion be more vigilant.

Two days later, Jia Cong was woken up from his sleep again. But there was a moon in the night, and it was reflected in the house through the open window. Jia Cong rubbed his eyes and muttered, "I said, eldest sister, what's the matter, can't you come during the day?" I don't let people sleep at night! The biological clock is going to be disrupted. "When I looked up, it was not Chen standing on the edge of the kang, but the old eunuch; After a closer look, Chen also came, guarding by the window. Then he exhaled, "That...... Is this chief's surname Liu? ”

The old eunuch nodded: "I am indeed Liu Dengxi." ”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "You are quite famous now." ”

Liu Dengxi snorted: "Situ Pan wants to take me, it's not so easy. ”

Jia Cong looked at him: "I said, Lord Liu, is there something wrong with coming so late?" ”

Liu Dengxi said: "I didn't come here for anything else, I just want to tell you not to be too careless." Situ Pan knew the Seven Princes, and as long as he saw someone, he could recognize them immediately. ”

Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "The children all look alike." He doesn't have any evidence to admit it, so we don't recognize it. ”

Liu Dengxi sneered: "What does he want evidence for?" He said yes, yes. ”

Jia Cong was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "That's what I said, Lai Pi can only rely on people who are not more powerful than himself." ”

Liu Dengxi nodded: "Yes, you are just a white body, and you can't play tricks with Situ Pan's traitor." ”

Jia Cong rubbed his nose and eyes a few times: "It's really troublesome." Hengzhi people are raised in our house, and Situ Pan can't see them for no reason. When he grows up, he won't recognize it. ”

Liu Dengxi said: "Now that someone is staring at your house, I can't find out who it is, I don't know what the purpose is, it's better to be careful." What if he stabs the thief? ”

Jia Cong pursed his lips and sighed again: "Okay...... I know. ”

Liu Dengxi was quite relieved of him, patted him on the shoulder, and retreated through the window to hide in the night. Chan followed.

Jia Cong was sitting cross-legged on the kang, stunned.

It was only a moment before there were four noises outside, which seemed extremely clear and frightening at night—bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

This voice Jia Cong is familiar with, it is the Western fire. The sound of guns.
