Jia Cong left the Nan'an Palace, joined the brothers waiting outside, and everyone went back to the house. Everyone else went back to Lixiangyuan to clean up and go home, and Jia Cong led Gao Mang to see Jia Yu.

When the family heard the news, it was like a fairy. Jia Zheng threw away the books in his hand and rushed to Jia Yuyuan, Jia Lian said happily, "This saves me a lot of trouble", and even Jia's mother hurried over with a cane. Jia Cong had already finished talking to Jia Yu in a hurry, and when he saw them coming, he said it again from the beginning.

Mother Jia heard that the prince of Nan'an was highly poisoned, and chanted the Buddha repeatedly; Jia Zheng was also glad that Baoyu had good luck.

Jia Cong hurriedly "shh ”

Jia Mu said: "Didn't you do an autopsy?" ”

Jia Cong snorted: "Their home is the county king's mansion!" As soon as the funeral is over, Huo Sheng is the prince of Nan'an. In front of him, Qi Zuo and Lord Zhao are nothing. I don't know if the prince was really poisoned or the princess discussed something with them, and it has nothing to do with our Jia family. If you hesitate to say it, the bones are brittle, and you will die if you fall at will, I don't believe such categorical words. ”

Jia Mu and Jia Zheng were shocked.

Jia Cong said indifferently: "Huo Xuan is dead, and now the Nan'an Wangfu is relying on Huo Sheng." I just gave them a way to remove Huo Sheng's charge of killing his father. If you want to remove Huo Sheng's crimes, you have to take them off with Baoyu's brother by the way. Baoyu's brother's life is in the hands of their family. Unless they pick it themselves, otherwise, what's the use of inviting Brother Xianwang out? Isn't it going to be said to be a bully? And by the way, he owed King Xian a favor, and it was in the way of clearing his name with Baoyu's brother. ”

The room was stunned. After a while, Jia Zheng sighed and said, "At a young age, you have insight into people's hearts, Cong'er, you are a hundred times stronger than Baoyu." Nai walked over and bowed deeply to Jia Cong, "I hope you will take care of your brother more in the future." ”

Jia Cong waved his hand again and again: "Brother Baoyu has his own benefits, I'm just a little smart." ”

Gao Mang had been listening, and when he heard this, he couldn't help asking, "Then how can Cousin Baoyu knock down the king of Nan'an County with an inkstone?" He was originally a general. ”

Jia Cong said: "Therefore, I guess that the prince's health is not very good, and it is unknown whether he is really poisoned." It doesn't matter if the truth is true, our purpose is to save Brother Baoyu from coming out, how Huo Xuan died has nothing to do with us, why bother to make it so clear? ”

Then he led Gao Mang to see Jia Mu and Jia Zheng. When Jia Mu heard that he was from the Gao family, she couldn't help frowning between her eyebrows, but Gao Mang didn't see it. Later, he led Gao Mang to Rongguo Mansion to see him, and Yingchun hurriedly sent someone to clean up a small courtyard and come out to settle him.

The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division did things quickly, and Zhao Cheng returned to the yamen and personally went to the cell to let Jia Baoyu out. Baoyu thought that he was going to pay for Huo Xuan's life a few days ago, and he was a little discouraged, but he was afraid that Yuan Chun would be affected, and he was worried day and night. When I heard that there was someone else in the real culprit, I almost couldn't believe it. Zhao Cheng personally sent him back to Rongguo Mansion.

Mother Jia saw that Baoyu had lost weight several times and had a scruffy beard, as if she was ten years old, and she couldn't help but hold her in her arms and cry one after another. Mrs. Wang wanted to step forward early, but Mother Jia refused to let go, so she had to endure it on the side, and the two lines of tears had already soaked the handkerchief.

A clever boy sent a message to Lixiangyuan, Jia Cong was pulling Gao Mang to play with plum blossom piles, and he only said "oh" when he heard the words.

He smiled and asked: "I heard that Second Master Bao's hair and beard are dirty, and his clothes are stinky, the old lady doesn't dislike it at all, and keeps crying!" Won't the third master go over? ”

Jia Cong said: "What did you do in the past? Did you go over and see that group of people crying? I can trust Brother Baoyu's character, I don't need to be sincere in front of him, he can remember it. So he continued to play with Gao Mang.

Suddenly, a concierge boy sent a letter, saying that it was for the third master Cong, and there was one of the letter writers, so he put down the letter and left. Jia Cong was stunned, opened the letter and took a look, was furious, gritted his teeth and said: "There is an old woman who has no eyes!" Because the brothers of Lixiangyuan had gone home at this time, Jia Huan also let Aunt Zhao catch Aunt Zhao who was carefully checking and interrogating, and was not available, so he handed the letter to Gao Mang.

Gao Mang looked at it and said in surprise: "Could it be that she can still give side benefits to resist this favor?" ”

Jia Cong snorted: "I don't know that I am rotten, take care of her." Then he cried out that he was hungry and ordered someone to go to the kitchen to urge him to eat.

In the afternoon, he gave Gao Mang to Jia Yu, and he pulled Jia Huan to blow the cow to the four sisters for an afternoon, which scared them for a while. Jia Huan had the intention not to talk about their night battle in Taiyuan Mansion, but Jia Cong even said clearly from beginning to end that there were mountains of corpses, so anxious that Jia Huan stepped on his feet.

Tanchun was so frightened that he took Jia Huan's hand and said, "Don't run outside Beijing anymore!" Even the hooligans in the market dare to rob and kill the officials of the imperial court! ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Ordinary market hooligans don't dare, they have the eldest prince behind them, and that matter is their family's internal fighting, these two sons of the Wang Daguan want to borrow our hands to destroy those two sons." If it weren't for Cousin Gao's arrival with so many veterans of a hundred battles, I'm afraid he wouldn't have targeted us. ”

Daiyu nodded and said, "They want to go outside to find a knife to cut off their brothers, and ordinary knives may not be able to cut them." Nai asked again, "Then can Lord Han's matter be clarified?" ”

Jia Cong shook his head: "He is a prefect anyway, and it will take some time for the court to find out, so he is verbose." He sighed again, "It's a shame that it's a character." ”

Xichun snorted: "What's a pity for such a villain." As a parent official, but he is secretive and cowering and colluding with the gangsters in the market, I don't like this the most. ”

Jia Huan said with a smile: "The fourth sister must be a clean official. ”

A few people discussed the matter of the Nan'an Palace. Because Jia Cong and Jia Huan both knew that Huo Xuan was Gong Sanyi's hand, they just fooled around for a while. After everything was said, Daiyu smiled and pulled Xichun and said, "Let's play chess and let their sisters and brothers say some whispers." Cong'er came back to my room and told you about the private port. The two of them went away. Tanchun also took Jia Huan back to the house, and the little brothers exchanged a sympathetic look.

As soon as the Tanchun sisters and brothers went out, Yingchun's tears fell. Jia Cong's scalp was numb, and he sat down in front of her and pretended to be pitiful: "My own sister! Isn't that all right? Your brother's kung fu is high. ”

Yingchun wiped away her tears and said: "I know that your kung fu is high, and I also know that swords have eyes, and they can't pierce you horizontally and vertically." ”

Jia Cong said aggrievedly: "That matter really has nothing to do with us!" Didn't you say that? It's the inner bar of the Wang family, we suffered a disaster in vain and became a gunman for others. Thanks to our ability, you see that Han Guang is even dead......"

The more he said this, the more Yingchun cried. Jia Cong never coaxes girls, otherwise he can't be an otaku in his previous life, and there is no way to scratch his ears and cheeks. Suddenly, he thought that Yingchun was frightened, and he felt a wave of fear that he needed to vent, and he would probably finish crying. So he honestly sat aside and waited for her to cry. Yingchun saw that her brother was silent, and cried more and more. Jia Cong had to stare dryly.

But Jia Huan was interesting enough, and his own sister came over to see his brother again. When I entered the door, I saw Yingchun still crying, and Jia Cong was pestle beside him like a papaya, and I knew that this kid couldn't catch the thoughts of his sisters. hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Second sister, don't worry!" I just promised my sister that in the future, I would do less of this kind of escorting valuable items, and I would not show my wealth when I went out, and I would not provoke thieves. When encountering the market hooligans, they only stay away from afar, and do not provoke them. Second sister, don't worry, I will definitely pull Cong'er along, and I won't let him get into trouble. He dragged Jia Cong again.

Jia Cong hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! If you want to fight, just send Lan Xiang Ziguang to fight, and I won't touch my hands! Go back, let the two of them practice martial arts diligently! You have to be a young master, don't you? ”

Yingchun made his angry tears hold back, and he sighed. Seeing that she was about to start chattering, Jia Huan hurriedly found an excuse to slip away, leaving Jia Cong to listen to the nagging until dinnertime. Jia Cong retreated out for dinner under the pretext of accompanying Jia Yu Gao Mang, and took a long breath.

In the evening, he had time to see Lin Daiyu.

Daiyu leaned on the chair for a long time, saw him come in, put down the book in her hand and glanced at him: "How did the prince of Nan'an die?" ”

Jia Cong said twice and stepped forward: "Where are the flaws?" ”

Daiyu said: "The two of you obviously know a lot of guilt. But he refused to speak. Even after being besieged and killed by hundreds of people, many people have said it, what else dare not say? ”

Jia Cong said: "There are some things here that are not very upright, if you tell Sister Sù, I am afraid that your ears will be dirty." ”

Daiyu was silent for a moment and said, "I want to know." ”

Jia Cong thought about it, the world was not clean, even the fairy Linfan had to face these dark filth, so he hesitated for a moment, approached Daiyu's side and whispered many words that he had never told Sanchun, which made Daiyu frightened. Finally, I talked about Huo Xuan's death. "Although everything from poisoning to falling was done by the people of the Jia family, that Concubine Liu also made a very important step, which was to instigate Huo Xuan to mistakenly think that Huo Sheng and Brother Baoyu had the good of Longyang. Besides, if half of the people in his backyard were sincere to him, they wouldn't have been so popular. Medicine. ”

Daiyu said coldly: "He is the one you single-handedly murdered, so you don't have to pull it on the heads of others." ”

Jia Cong argued: "I didn't deny that he was killed by me. It's just that I can't carry this life alone, and others also have a share. ”

Daiyu waved her hand to prevent him from speaking. After a while, he said, "What do you want to do?" ”

Jia Cong thought for a while, and said solemnly: "Don't let my country be captured by foreign countries." ”

Daiyu said: "Isn't there a way?" ”

Jia Cong smiled bitterly: "Sister, I am not a diligent person. If there is a way, I will be happy to be a gentleman. ”

Daiyu nodded: "You don't hide those things about fighting and killing, do you want us to be more sober when we run away with you in the future?" ”

Jia Cong said: "It may not come to that point. It's already like this on the outside. There is a tea tax that does not sell tea and a rice tax, there are officials and soldiers who pretend to be bandits to rob the convoy of the imperial court officials, and there are market hooligans who kill people and kill the court officials. Even if the sisters can't go out of the house, it's better to know that this world is no longer peaceful and prosperous than not to know. The Emperor Taishang controls the court, the Son of Heaven is mediocre, and the princes have their own abilities, who knows what will become of them in a few years? The younger brothers will do their best to protect the younger sisters, but the troubled times are expected, and they must be prevented. ”

After a long silence for a cup of tea, Daiyu sighed: "You have said so much at once, I have to take it slowly." ”

Jia Cong hurriedly gave a deep salute and said goodbye. Daiyu had another sleepless night.

Early the next morning, Concubine Nan'an really came to Rongguo Mansion to apologize to Jia's mother, and Jia Cong sent it to the courtyard early to listen, and if there was something important, he would report it quickly.

came back for a while and said, "The concubine and the old lady have negotiated, and this is gossiping." ”

Jia Cong hurriedly asked, "What did you talk about?" ”

said: "At first, the old lady was still sneering with a black face, and the concubine said that it was all her in the past, and she couldn't complain about her, because the thief was too ruthless...... After talking for a long time, the old lady still drooped her face. The queen concubine said that she would write for the eldest lady of our family, and the eldest lady would be the side concubine of the prince of Nan'an, and the little princess who was only in the swaddling clothes would be recorded in the name of the eldest lady, and the concubine Liu Shu would never be mentioned again, and the little princess would be the son of the eldest lady in the future! ”

Jia Cong stood up "Teng": "Such a ridiculous thing, the old lady agreed?" ”

nodded and said: "Agreed, the old lady was so happy that tears came out, and she said, I never thought that the concubine would give the eldest lady such a big face!" ”

Jia Cong's face suddenly darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What a big face!" It's a pity that our family doesn't want it! He picked up his feet and walked out.

Hurriedly shouted: "Is the third master going to make trouble?" Do you want to call the second wife? ”

Jia Cong looked back and saw that the corners of her mouth were smiling and gossipy, and she glared at her and said, "Why are you calling the second wife?" If she knew, she would be grateful. Hurriedly ran to Jia's mother's yard.

He had just entered the door, and there were already two girls who smiled and said, "Third Master Cong is here!" Concubine Cai also praised you for your intelligence. ”

Jia Cong sneered and walked up to the hall, and Jia Mu couldn't close her mouth when she saw him laughing: "Cong'er is here!" I'm talking about you. ”

Jia Cong saluted her in a proper manner, and Jia Mu pointed to the silver-haired old lady on the side and said, "This is Concubine Nan'an." ”

Jia Cong hurriedly went up to salute and said, "Did the concubine personally send my eldest sister back?" What about the big sister? I haven't seen it yet. ”

Jia Mu smiled: "Why send your big sister back, your big sister is so blessed, you have to be a serious concubine!" ”

Jia Cong was stunned: "No, she's not too young, can she be Huo Sheng's side concubine?" ”

Mother Jia and Concubine Nan'an both sank their faces, and Mother Jia hurriedly shouted: "Nonsense! Naturally, she is the side concubine of the prince in front. ”

Jia Cong became more and more surprised: "Isn't he dead?" I saw his coffin yesterday! ”

Jia Mu sighed: "It's also that your eldest sister is not blessed, and the prince actually went." ”

Jia Cong pouted and said, "Ancestor, you just said that the eldest sister is so blessed, but after a few words, it became unblessed." Is she blessed or not? ”

Jia Mu knew that he raised the bar and lowered his face: "Cong'er, what do you want to do?" ”

Jia Cong didn't bother to be verbose, and said neatly: "Huo Sheng owes me a favor." This matter is owed to me by Huo Sheng, not by the Nan'an Palace. If he doesn't want to send his big sister back to return it, I'll think about how to get him to pay it back. For example, I have a nice girl in the house, and I've always liked it tightly. Ming'er, I went to find Brother Xianwang to help her get a good background, and let Huo Sheng marry as a concubine, which can be regarded as a return to my favor, how about it? ”

The concubine was furious, pointed at him and shouted, "Bold! ”

Jia Cong said to Jia's mother again: "The ancestor thought that it was a good thing for the eldest sister to get the title of a side concubine and stay a widow for a lifetime, but he just thought that she could be the little mother of the next king of Nan'an County, and do we have face in our house." If the descendants of our family can be his concubine, wouldn't it be more face-saving? ”

Jia's motherly face turned white, and she also scolded: "Presumptuous! ”

Jia Cong "snapped" a high-five, and Sen Sen stared at the concubine and said, "What do you see, concubine?" Good no good? ”

The concubine was on the fire, but suddenly made him stare at his back and feel cold, and he was stunned for a long time before saying: "It's not just the status of a side concubine......"

Jia Cong waved his hand: "Don't tell me that, it's useless to be famous." That's my sister, I will earn money if she wants money, and I will find a man for her. Not to mention that she can't find a good man when she's old, she's only in her early twenties. She has a few promising younger brothers, and she wants to get in touch with a few of our brothers by marrying her, so she can go from the capital to Chang'an! It is said that you are the king of the county, and there are also those who have the real surname of the emperor, and our family has to choose it slowly. Men, they can't even protect their own sisters, so what are they talking about protecting their families and defending the country? ”

As soon as these words came out, the two old ladies were stunned! At the same time, thinking about it, such a big favor, he only needs a cousin hidden in Huo Xuan's backyard to taste it, it is too easy. Could it be that a serious prince proposed to marry his sister? As soon as Mother Jia passed the rumors of Jia Cong Suri in her mind, and he mentioned Brother Xianwang yesterday, her eyes lit up, and she stood up tremblingly: "Cong'er! But what you're saying is true?! ”

Jia Cong's words just now were nonsense, and he didn't know what Jia Mu was excited about, so he said casually: "Naturally, it's true, the ancestor doesn't worry about the big sister's lifelong events, it's better to have a name and a widow." ”

Jia Mu trembled and shouted three times, "Good, good, good!" A few steps came over and took Jia Cong's hand, "You are a good boy!" Your sister is pointing at you! ”

The concubine was annoyed, and her face sank: "Old lady, we just talked about it." ”

Jia Munai sighed: "Concubine, I thought about it again, my granddaughter is really hard......"

Jia Cong was annoyed to watch them singing, but interrupted: "Concubine, I just said that, I'm afraid you didn't hear the most important sentence, I'll say it again." This matter is owed to me by Huo Sheng, not by the Nan'an Palace. You don't have to do much when you're old, you and my grandmother don't count, only Huo Sheng has the final say with me. Yesterday he had already agreed. If you don't want to agree, go back to your house and tell him, and then let him come and repent with me, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. The stakes are at stake here, you always discuss with Huo Sheng slowly. He bowed his hand and walked away.

The concubine was in a hurry, and shouted several times behind her, seeing that Jia Cong ignored her and pulled Jia's mother endlessly. Mother Jia thought that Yuan Chun would be able to enter the Xian Mansion as long as she left the Nan'an Palace, even if Huo Sheng wanted to marry her, she couldn't respond, so she just prevaricated. The two old ladies pulled their skins endlessly for a whole day, and finally Nan'an Concubine went back angrily. Jia Cong, the bear child of the Red Mansion
