said that Jia Cong's old tricks were repeated, implying that if Yuan Chun gained any unusual reputation, he might be able to enter a high-ranking family, and Jia Zheng really took the bait again. So he went to tell Jia's mother in person.

Jia's mother was originally worried about Yuanchun's previous things, even if she entered the Xianwang Mansion, it was rare to have a good position, and thought that this was an excuse for Jia Cong to fight for Yuanchun's identity, and she was secretly happy in her heart, but she was a little hesitant: "Since ancient times, women have no talent and are virtuous." Even if she enters the palace, she can't be a concubine, where can the side concubine use these skills? ”

Jia Zheng heard that it made sense, so he said half a sentence: "It's really this reason, I don't know ...... when I think of it" Something in his brain suddenly exploded, and he trembled, "Old lady...... Although Cong'er is young, she is thoughtful and perceptive, not an ordinary child, how can she not know this? ”

Jia's mother was stunned for a moment, raised her eyes to look at Jia Zheng, and the mother and son looked at each other, and they couldn't help but think of the same thing: Could it be?!

Jia Zheng pulled his legs and ran out, shouting: "Go and invite Cong'er to come!" One of the boys had only walked a few steps in response, and he shouted, "Come back!" The boy hurried back. Jia Zhengsui walked around a few times in the courtyard of Jia's mother, and then ordered, "Shout Huan'er, hurry." ”

Not long after, Jia Huan came running on his feet, wiping his sweat and asking the old lady what he was calling.

Jia Zheng didn't care about scolding him for his untidy manners, so he grabbed his hand and asked, "Do you know that Cong'er has the heart to plan a marriage for your eldest sister?" ”

Jia Huan blinked: "I haven't heard of this." Cong'er is ghostly, and she never shows the slightest rumor when she is not completely sure. ”

Jia Zheng was disappointed, but still asked again: "You really didn't say it?" Not a single star? ”

Jia Huan shook his head: "He only said that our sister must be a big wife......"

Before the words fell, Jia Mu and Jia Zheng exclaimed in unison, full of surprise and incredulity. Jia Huan looked at the two of them inexplicably.

Jia Zheng trembled with excitement for a long time, took a few deep breaths to calm down, and looked at Jia's mother a few times. After a while, he suddenly frowned again and said: "If Yuan'er goes to rectify the family education, I am afraid that some people in the clan will not will." ”

Jia Huan frowned and said, "Brother Zhen refuses?" ”

Jia Zhengdao: "Where will he care about this." I'm afraid that the few people who are learning from the family nowadays are unwilling. ”

Jia Huan wrinkled his nose and muttered, "They are old, and they don't count." It's really long-winded and let the uncle beat them to see who dares to do more. ”

Jia Zheng scolded: "Nonsense! ”

Jia Huan grimaced.

Jia Mu nodded and said, "It's cheaper to entrust this matter to the boss." ”

Jia Huan burst out laughing, and complimented him sincerely: "That's what the ancestor said!" is still the wisdom of the ancestors. ”

Jia's mother really sent the mandarin duck to explain the matter to Jia Yu; Jia Huan pretended to quit, and because his legs and feet were faster, he rushed to Jia Yu's courtyard in front of the mandarin duck, laughing and saying the matter quickly.

Jia Yu scolded: "Anything that offends people is pushed to me!" ”

Jia Huan smiled: "Uncle, it's all up to you!" It's almost the same as letting me go and staring at others, he is thin-skinned, and he can't do things seriously. ”

Jia Yu glared at him and said, "Am I thick-skinned?" ”

Jia Huan smiled and flattered: "Cong'er often says that being cheeky is a big compliment, and my skin is getting thicker and thicker. ”

Jia Yu raised his hand and knocked him.

Jia Yu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he sent a boy who can speak well to Ningguo Mansion to find Jia Zhen, and told Jia Zheng how he was angry with his family and how he was vivid, and kept saying that Jia Zheng wanted to rectify his family education.

At this time, Ning Guofu was still busy with Jia Zhen's funeral, Zhao Cheng came over to investigate every other day, and the people of the Niu family also came to cry and inquire all day long, Jia Rong was still lying on the kang and couldn't help for half a minute, Jia Zhen was already going crazy. Hearing that Jiaxue had gone wrong again, he only waved his hand and said, "Whoever wants to take care of it!" I don't have any kung fu to be horizontal and vertical! ”

The kid said with a sad face: "Uncle Zhen, our eldest master said that you are the patriarch, so you should naturally preside over such matters, or you should discuss and choose someone to preside over together." It's also inconvenient for us two masters to make our own decisions. ”

Jia Zhen hurriedly said: "It is very appropriate for the two uncles to be in charge, since this is the case, please leave it to the two uncles." ”

The boy then ran back, and then ran over and said, "Our lord said, 'Is this good?' They went to pick some people first, and then came to ask Uncle Zhen what he meant. ”

Coincidentally, Zhao Cheng came again, Jia Zhen waved his hand and said, "No need to ask, where do I have two uncles who are educated?" They just need to appoint people. ”

The kid ran back and forth again, and when he came again, Zhao Cheng and Niu Jiyao's brother Niu Jizong were there, so he replied in front of the two of them: "Our lord said that it still can't be done, and Uncle Zhen has to come together to discuss." What if the person they chose, Uncle Jane, didn't agree? ”

Jia Zhenlian said: "Agreed, agreed!" The little nephew picked by the two uncles agreed first! Then he explained to Zhao Niu and the others, "Our two uncles in Xifu want to pick someone from the clan to rectify the family education, where do I have time to take care of that?" Besides, the two uncles have always been very good and far-sighted. But it's up to them. ”

Zhao Niu and both nodded in agreement.

The kid climbed along the pole: "Uncle Zhen and the two adults, the little one has run back and forth many times, so you can pity the poor little one." This matter can be regarded as asking the two adults to testify, and Uncle Zhen entrusts the two masters of our family to call the shots, how about it? ”

Zhao Niu and the others also disliked him for always being here with ink, and they both said: "Yes, yes, we testify, this kid is pitiful, he runs all over his head and sweats, go." ”

The kid slammed his head three times and ran.

If you have this, what are the others? Jia Yu sent two people to inform Jia Dairu and the others, and then sent a letter to Yuanchun.

This matter sounded like thunder in the Jia clan. People who have children studying in the family school already know that Jia Zheng was angry a few days ago, and when they were going to invite a big Confucian, who knew that it was a nun! What about the eldest girl in Rongguo Mansion? Wasn't he sent home by the Nan'an Palace? None of them agreed.

When the matter reached Jia Zhen's ears, she was also startled, and she rushed to Rongguo Mansion without caring about the mess at home. He thought that Jia Zheng had done this, but he had a headache when he thought of Jia Zheng's Taoist appearance, so he came to find Jia Zheng instead.

Jia Yu only threw him one sentence: "Didn't you ask Lord Zhao and Lord Niu to testify together, you don't care about this matter, but it's up to us to decide?" ”

Jia Zhen hurriedly said: "Then you can't let the eldest sister take care of it!" She's a woman! ”

Jia Yu said: "What a woman! She is a monk, and now she is neither a man nor a woman. ”

Jia Zhen choked, and then said, "How can the ancestor agree." ”

"That's what she ordered us to do."

Jia Zhen was stunned.

Jia Yu waved his hand: "It's decided, I'm busy." ”

Jia Zhen was anxious: "How can the people in the clan agree!" ”

Jia Yu snorted: "How old are they? If you have the ability, don't come to study at home. ”

Jia Zhen had no choice but to go to Jia Zheng's office to find him. This time it was even more of a headache, Jia Zhengzi said that Shiyun had a while, and his ears were numb when he heard it, and he didn't understand what Jia Zheng wanted to say, so he simply left it alone, and let them make trouble!

A few days later, Jia Yuanchun took a small carriage in a small carriage to Jia's house, followed by two little maids and four stout mothers-in-law.

Jia Dairu pretended to be sick at home because he was sulking, and only Jia Rui presided over here. Many of the students in the family school did not come, and the few who came were prepared for some tricky troubles to find this nun for fun, and most of them came because they wanted to see what the eldest girl of Rongguo Mansion looked like, and they all craned their necks and waited. As soon as Yuan Chun entered the door, the entire school was immediately quiet, and everyone from Jia Rui to the schoolchildren gasped in unison.

This woman is in her twenties, without makeup, dressed in purple clothes, and practicing with hair, more and more tactful eyebrows, white teeth and red lips, green silk like ink, and dignified and solemn expression, the whole person seems to be a Bodhisattva statue carved with jade and ice.

Yuan Chun didn't expect that many of the methods she had prepared were useless at all, and she would subdue a room of schoolchildren just by showing her face.

She then sent someone back to Rongguo Mansion to ask Jia Huan to find two gentlemen with real talent and learning for her, and Jia Huan turned around and handed the matter to Gong Sanyi. Gong San has also been inquiring about Yuan Chun, so he specially found two gentlemen who are in their early thirties, and their looks are not bad; One of them, Mr. Wei, did not marry a wife because of the poverty of his family, and the other Mr. Huang was widowed for several years and his only son died. Annoyed Jia Lian again, he invited the two of them to teach in the Jia Sect, and Shu Xiu was naturally higher than others. When the two of them heard that "there is really no other way, and the eldest girl who has become a monk is troubled to take care of her family studies temporarily", they both shook their heads and persuaded each other, secretly planning to send the old nun back to the nunnery as soon as they had sorted out the things in the school; Who knew that Yuan Chunju was stupid when he saw it, and he never mentioned a word again.

Yuan Chun set a time to go to school every day, and said: "The prince in the palace will study when he is young." He also ordered the school to prepare tea and snacks, and the schoolchildren were not allowed to bring snacks from home, for fear that they would compare. Jewelry, wealth, and accessories are not allowed to enter the hall. Jia Cong came up with an idea for her again: to give a scholarship and a half-year evaluation for her excellent school; The family is poor but the school is good and gives a stipend. As for those who are attached to the outside world, if they don't use their work and just come to hang out, they won't use it. Yuan Chun herself often answers the questions of the schoolchildren, and she can explain them clearly, so the schoolchildren will circle around her as soon as she comes. At first, the two gentlemen only thought that she was just a beautiful nun, but after listening to a few words, they realized that this female high girl was not under them, and they respected her more and more.

The style of the Jia clan's sect suddenly changed. Yuan Chun once laughed at himself in the mirror: This face is useless in the palace and useless in the palace, but it came in handy in the school.

Jia Dairu waited at home for everyone and begged him to go home to learn to lead everything, and no one paid attention to him for more than a month.

On the other hand, Zhao Cheng interrogated all the Taoist priests who were subordinate and practiced in Ningguo Mansion without clues, and he was very annoyed. On this day, he happened to hear someone in Ning Guofu chatting, what "Avengers", and suddenly sobered up as if he had been poured a basin of cold water, chasing after the person and asking: "What Avengers?" ”

The man said: "I heard that it is a group of green forest heroes, who specialize in reporting for others. Hatred - our Uncle Rong is their way. ”

Zhao Cheng suddenly remembered that Jia Rong was beaten by a group of people wearing Journey to the West masks that day because he came to report the case, and the person who beat him called himself "Kyoto Avengers", and said that everyone who had the surname Tianjia dared to beat him. Could this "Avengers" not be a name, but a simplification of the "Avengers"? Immediately, as if he had opened his mind, he went to see Jia Rong.

As soon as Jia Rong heard that the person who killed Niu Jiyao was the one who beat herself, she didn't care about the injury, so she told the events of the day in detail. It's just that he really doesn't know much, and what he says is the same as what he doesn't say. Zhao Cheng bothered him to think about what kind of green hat he had ever given to someone, Jia Rong smiled bitterly: "Lord Zhao, the younger brother loves to sleep in the willows, he is an expert in the romantic field, where do you remember so much." Because he pondered for a long time, he made a list of many women he had frequented in the past few months. Zhao Cheng took the list and ordered his subordinates to check one by one. Because most of them are fan-headed secret prostitutes, they really can't find anything.

There was really no way to do it, so he went to ask Niu Jizong again: "Lord Niu, think about it carefully, does Brother Ling really have no enemies?" ”

Niu Jizong smiled bitterly: "My brother is just a little gentleman, how can there be no enemies?" It's just all wiped out. ”

Zhao Chengdao: "Why don't you list it in detail, let's check it again?" ”

Niu Jizong had a headache for this younger brother, and he rarely asked, and he didn't know who he had offended, so he had to order a few henchmen around him to think about it.

Zhao Cheng took this list and saw Jiang Zirong as soon as he saw it. He heard this name from Jia Rong a few days ago, and it was the person who was with Jia Rong when he was beaten that day. Because he knew that this was also a disciple of a high family, he did not make a noise, and only ordered Niu Jiyao's henchmen to tell the grievances from the beginning one by one. When I heard "The elder brother of the Jiang family is not reluctant, but it took a lot of effort for our family and their family room to suppress it", I had already guessed most of it. When he returned to the Yamen, he immediately ordered someone to investigate carefully, and soon found out that Jiang Zirong was wrong.

Niu Jiyao had a grudge against him for killing his brother, and once inquired about the "Kyoto Avengers" in the market, but then suddenly stopped asking - if he didn't keep it, he got the letter. He sold the antique industry a while ago, and after Niu Jiyao's death, he immediately changed his former appearance to the prodigal son and turned back! Is there anyone more suspicious than him? Buy the murderer. The murderous vein is clear.

It's just that he has a headache again. He can't afford to provoke Zhenguo Mansion, where can he afford to provoke Pingyuan Hou Mansion? Even though these two families have their own high and low, whoever wants to crush him to death a six-grade petty official is a matter of one finger. Moreover, he has no evidence, where can he interrogate a high-ranking disciple like Jiang Zirong for no reason? I can't help but feel full of grievances.

At this time, someone came to report, saying that a little maid came to Ning Guofu, and he named him to see Master Zhao alone. Although Zhao Cheng was puzzled, he was also busy inviting the maid in.

This little girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old, her eyebrows were calm, and she kowtowed to him steadily, and said: "Please forgive the slave and maid for being rude, the slave and maid have won the master's order, and if you have something to say, you can only say it to the adult." ”

Zhao Cheng saw that she was extremely calm, and couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart: The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, although Ning Guofu is very unbearable, after all, there is still a foundation, and this little girl is quite atmospheric. Hurriedly ordered everyone to withdraw.

The little girl said, "I am next to Grandma Xiaorong of Ningguo Mansion." My master sent me to reply to the Lord about something. ”

Zhao Cheng asked what was going on.

"She suspects that it was someone from Xifu who beat our uncle a few days ago."

Zhao Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly felt that the dark clouds were covering the top! Zhenguo Mansion Ningguo Mansion Pingyuan Hou Mansion is already a headache, so why not add Rongguo Mansion? After worrying for a while, he asked weakly: "Why is your grandmother suspicious of their house?" ”

The little girl said: "A few days ago, the old lady in the West Mansion intended to take a room for their second master to take an aunt from a good family, and our uncle had a grudge with several young masters in their house, so he recommended to their old lady the two little aunts brought by the stepmother of the lady in our house from her ex-husband. Those two little aunts and the two masters in our house are not very clean. ”

Zhao Cheng heard that her grandparents had a lot of headaches at first, but suddenly heard that "they are not very clean" later, and couldn't help but straighten their eyes.

"At first, when the two little aunts went to see the old lady, her old man was very happy, but who knew that only two days later, when our grandmother sent someone to secretly go to their house to inquire, but I heard that the old lady was furious that night, and the two little aunts were not allowed to enter the house. There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the matter of the two little aunts is not a secret, and now everyone in Beijing knows it. The beating man left a sentence for our uncle to keep the green hat for himself. Our grandmother was suspicious that Dongfu knew, and she couldn't get angry, so she looked for someone to beat our uncle. The third master of Cong and the third master of Huan in Dongfu are not willing to suffer. ”

Zhao Cheng only saw the Jia family's brother at the back door of the Nan'an Mansion not long ago, can you not know? There is no second one who dares to blatantly go to the palace to rob people. They also have a dart game at home, and their business is light and they have a group of dart masters. Could it be that they did it?

It's just that he still has no evidence. Moreover, if those two young masters were angry and beat Jia Rong in the past, it's just that where can they have anything to do with some green forest person? On the day of the death of the partial birth cow Jiyao, Jia Cong's little ancestor happened to be in Ningguo Mansion.

Zhao Cheng sent away the little girl who had been in the hall for a long time, and finally called someone to pull the horse, and did not wear an official uniform, and went straight to Ningrong Street in ordinary clothes. Seeing Rongguo Mansion from afar, he suddenly took Ma Lai to think for a while, and inquired to someone: "I heard that there is a door in the courtyard of the third master of Rongguo Mansion that leads directly to this street, where is it?" "Jia Cong, the bear child of the Red Mansion
