However, it was said that Jia Cong killed Ziyan, a spy sent into Rongguo Mansion by King Lu, and shocked Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun. After the two of them talked for a long time, Jia Cong returned to the house and discussed: "I don't know if there are spies on the side, but I'm afraid that Sister Yun's dowry will have to be passed through." ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "It's all up to Brother Cong to decide. ”

Jia Cong nodded: "Don't alarm them, let's investigate quietly." My sister didn't want to tear her face with Shi Hou when she turned around, she just said that Ziyan offended me and let me kill it. ”

Xiangyun lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "For no reason, she is clever, even if she wants to offend you, it is not easy." ”

Rise. The point was on the side and said: "It's good for Bao Er's grandmother to pretend that she doesn't know the reason, and if someone asks, she just pulls out an excuse that is obviously fake." ”

Xiangyun hesitated for a moment and responded. The two of them went back to their own courtyard, and the front foot only went out of the Lixiang courtyard, and Jia Cong immediately got up. The dots follow them secretly. Rise. Click on a wall and go inside, and say in the wall: "Do you still need to say it?" I need to change into a night outfit, don't I? Jia Cong shrugged.

Rise. Then he followed Baoyu and his family back, crossed the courtyard wall and listened to the maids outside their windows to change clothes and clean up for the two of them. When the two of them came out to get water, they whispered a few words: "What's the matter, the eyes of the two people have become like that?" What do you cry about? "I don't dare to ask.

A daughter-in-law probed her brain in front of the door, and after a while, she couldn't help but go in and said, "Second grandma, why didn't Ziyan come back?" ”

Xiangyun put the tea cup in his hand with a cold face: "It's just that there is no such person." ”

The daughter-in-law was stunned.

Cui Wei whispered beside her: "Aunt Liu is Ziyan's godmother. ”

Xiangyun stared at Aunt Liu, and she was scared. Xiangyun said indifferently: "Ziyan is dead, don't mention her again." ”

That Aunt Liu was shocked: "Why did the good guy die?" ”

Xiangyun said: "Cong'er killed her, and she insulted the eldest master with wild words. ”

Aunt Liu blurted out: "Impossible! ”

Xiangyun shouted: "The Hengzhu people are dead!" There will be no such person in our yard in the future! ”

Aunt Liu burst into tears, and asked in a choked voice, "That...... What about corpses? ”

Xiangyun shook his head, and after a while, he said to her, "You go down." ”

Aunt Liu still wanted to speak, so she let Musk Yue Cuiwi pull out one by one. Rise. The two masters turned their heads to stare at Aunt Liu, and when they saw her out of the courtyard gate, they trotted all the way in a panic and went straight back to her residence on the inner wall. Rise. Then he poked through the window paper and looked in, only to see her walking around the house, obviously restless.

When her man came back, Aunt Liu grabbed it and shouted in a low voice: "Ziyan is dead!" ”

Her man was stunned: "Who died?" ”

"Purple Smoke Girl!" Aunt Liu said, "I don't know how to let the third master kill Cong." ”

Her man's legs and stomach were shaking: "For what? ”

Aunt Liu said: "The second grandmother said that she scolded the eldest man in this mansion with wild words, I see that this person is blind, how can a person as clever as Ziyan be confused?" I felt strange when the old man told us to take care of her and listen to her in everything. This Third Master Cong said that it was Nezha's lower realm, could Ziyan have done something wrong for him to find out? ”

Her man stomped his feet and said, "The Purple Smoke Girl is obviously not an ordinary person, and the master must have something important to tell her." But does anyone suspect that you have not? ”

Aunt Liu said: "No." I was originally Ziyan's godmother, so it's unusual to ask twice. ”

Her man thought for a while and said: "This matter is important, you will ask the second grandmother for a leave tomorrow, only say your father's birthday, go back to our house and ask the old lady." Aunt Liu nodded again and again.

Early the next morning, Musk Moon came to Lixiangyuan. Jia Cong and the others thought that Ziyan had some letter there, but who knew that Baoyu couldn't sleep yesterday and got up in the middle of the night to write a "Trapped in the Mud". It is about a piece of flawless jade, because it is not very stuck in the mud, it was beaten as a stubborn stone, and finally the jade was broken. In the last stanza, I hate the unkindness of heaven and earth, and point to the injustice of the gods, and I know that I will be able to arouse the cry and resonance of countless people who have never met talents and have bad fate. Jia Cong laughed so much that the corners of his mouth grinned on his cheeks! "Good, good, good! Musk Yue, you just wait to make a fortune with your second master! ”

Musk Moon hurriedly knelt down and bowed in thanks. He immediately hesitated for a moment and asked, "Third Master...... The slave asks a question that should not be asked......"

Jia Cong lowered his face: "If you know that it is not appropriate to ask, don't ask." ”

Musk Yue was so frightened that she shivered, didn't dare to ask again, and hurriedly kowtowed and fled.

On the other hand, Aunt Liu took leave and returned to Shi's house and did not come back until the afternoon. I didn't want Jia Cong's special envoy to summon her man out on errands, and it was not until dinner time that it was done. Rise. After ordering the letter, I went to wait outside their house first. After a while, her man came back and let Aunt Liu drag her to the door. She said: "I went back to see the old lady today, and he was both frightened, so let's not act rashly first, and try to get purple smoke from Lixiangyuan Why was he killed, but what did he say?" ”

Her man said worriedly: "There were few people in Lixiangyuan, and all the people who lived there were confidants and half-masters of the third master, and three or four girls couldn't listen to the master. The girl didn't even dare to talk to her when she saw that it wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp...... How to find out. ”

Aunt Liu was also worried: "Isn't it?" Today, I looked for Miss Cuiwei to talk to her, and she said that Musk Yue went to Lixiangyuan in the morning, and before she could open her mouth, her face darkened. The two sighed and didn't know where to start.

Rise. The dot smiled darkly. Jia Cong has been quite bored for the past two days, and Bao Buqi will play tricks on them.

Sure enough, when Jia Cong heard about it, he immediately pulled a group of brothers with great interest to discuss how to fool the historian. Everyone made several comments, and the more they broke up, the more outrageous they became. Some people say that Ziyan took advantage of people's unpreparedness to hook up with Jia Huan and Jarvis, causing their brothers to turn their faces, and some people say that she is the mouse in Journey to the West, which made Nezha a Qiankun circle play the prototype!

Jia Huan couldn't listen anymore: "Just make up ideas casually, don't be so outrageous." ”

Jia Cong smiled: "Don't be casual! What everyone said is excellent, and they can all be passed on! Didn't they want to inquire? Give them sixty or seventy for the sake of it, and guess as you like. As far as the IQ of the two masters of the Shi family is concerned, the people who believe in everything, but don't believe in themselves, have gone wrong for us to see through. The crowd laughed.

At this time, a small servant came in and said, "A few flowers came to the door to ask for food." Jia Cong frowned and said, "Why didn't Hanako go to the gate and come to my Lixiang Courtyard to ask for food?" It can't be a troublemaker. Then I went and took a look. The brothers followed.

When I came out, it seemed to be a family of three, an old man was sick, a man in his thirties, and a boy of fourteen or fifteen. The little guy stepped forward to ask and came back, their house was gone, the young man's mother was burned to death, and now he has no food and clothing. Jia Cong asked him to ask why he didn't go to the gate, and after a while, the little guy said back and forth that the gate was too neat and open, and they didn't dare to come forward. Jia Cong nodded and ordered them to be brought in.

Led the three flowers into the courtyard for a while, Jia Cong shouted to everyone to move some chairs out and sit down, and in the blink of an eye, they were full of messy seats, like basking in the sun. Again the life arises. Move one for the old man. The old man did not dare to sit down, saying that he was afraid of soiling the nobleman's chair. Jia Cong smiled: "Your age should also be sitting." How can I sit with you standing? He dusted off his clothes again and again and sat down.

Tea was ordered again, but the old man only shook his head vigorously and didn't dare to eat tea again. Jia Cong took two sips and asked, "Old man, dare to ask what's the matter?" What are you going to put me to the test today? ”

The old man was stunned.

Jia Cong said: "Rongguo Mansion has many good names outside, saying that my old man is clumsy, and our brothers are rare in their intelligence, but they have never had the reputation of being kind and charitable." Even in the early years, my grandmother used to send people out to scatter copper coins to pray for Baoyu's brother, but she never gave porridge and money at the door of her house. Those who came to our house to ask for food were beaten out by those dogs. Although I am not talented, I still have self-knowledge. Besides, even if you don't dare to go to the main gate of our house, you should go to the corner gate, how can anyone find the head of my Lixiangyuan? This door is not easy to find, and it is not possible to talk about this one. ”

The sickness on the old man's body disappeared immediately, his back was straight, and his spirit was enough, he looked at him for a long time, and glared: "Even if you guess, why not play with the old man!" It's so boring to be young! ”

Jia Cong pouted and said: "It's fun for me to play with others, but it's naturally boring for others to play with me." ”

The old man was helpless, looked around for a while, and got up. Dian stood behind Jia Cong and looked at him and smiled. Suddenly sighed: "Boy, do you recognize me?" ”

Jia Cong shook his head: "I don't recognize it." ”

The old man said, "Your Rongxi Hall still has a couplet written by my father." ”

Jia Cong thought about it, isn't the couplet of Rongxi Hall "The sun and the moon are shining on the seat, and the front of the hall is dark and smoky"? That thing was written by Mu Ying, the king of Dongping County of his great-grandfather's generation. "Dream of Red Mansions" is written as "the king of Dong'an County", which has attracted the imagination of many indexers in later generations. Jia Cong came to this time and space to go to Rongxi Hall to take a look, but the payment on it was "Dongping", and I thought that Lao Cao had made a mistake. It's just that the prince of Dongping has seen it! They just made their fiftieth birthday before they left Beijing and went south, and they were not this old man. He hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Is the old man the uncle of Prince Mu?" ”

The old man nodded: "That kid Mu Zhu is my nephew." ”

Jia Cong's eyes blinked: "That...... Dare to ask the old man if there is a wooden word in his name? ”

The old man glanced at him: "Not bad." ”

Jia Cong grinned and said: "Lord Lingzun named it with grass and nephew with bamboo, and your family has formed an indissoluble bond with plants." ”

The old man looked at him for a while, turned his head and asked. Dot: "Chen family girl, is he usually like this?" ”

Rise. He smiled and said, "Yes, it has always been." ”

Jia Cong saw that the two of them were familiar with each other, and he knew that the Dongping Wangfu was about Situ Yan's person, and Gan Lei said that he would discuss it with others. argued: "Why can't you do three?" ”

Jia Huan probed and said: "It's what you often say, 'you can't grasp the key point'." ”

Jia Cong muttered: "It's just a few words of greeting at the first meeting, don't you have anything to say......" He looked at the uncle and the kid again, waved his finger and said, "Actually, you still have a flaw." ”

"Huh?"

Jia Cong looked at the kid and said, "This brother is too delicate and round, and he can still see the dust on his face." Even if a small family is pampered, they can raise a baby child, so that the small family has some hidden silver and copper coins, so that they will not have no food and clothing after going to the water. Seeing that we are also children of poor families in Qiusheng, and we are also cherished by our families, we have grown into tiger heads. When the young man heard this, the corner of Old Man Mu's mouth twitched, and the man snickered.

Rise. He pursed his lips and smiled, and stepped forward to salute the old man Namu: "I've seen the old general." ”

Old man Mu pointed at Jia Cong and said, "You believe this reckless boy?" ”

Jia Cong said tiredly: "Okay, good~~ If you say reckless, you can be reckless." It made everyone laugh.

Old man Mu glared at him, and said, "Boy, let me ask you, what will you do if you really meet a flower like us." ”

Jia Cong said: "Order the kitchen to deliver a meal, help the uncle show the way to a few big temples, build yì He temporarily resettles the old and young, and then tell him where to find work for most of his hard work." ”

Old man Mu said, "Don't you give money?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Regardless of whether you have a good word after giving it, is it useful to give money?" ”

Old man Mu said curiously: "How could you know these things at such a young age? It's like an old man who has experienced many worlds. ”

Jia Cong said: "I have long known that it is useless to 'think', 'hope', and 'seek' things in the world. Just as when I was a child, no one cared about it, and my nursing mother always said that if I was born in my wife's belly, I could eat and drink spicy food like Brother Baoyu. What if she muttered tens of thousands of times? What about chanting the Buddha and praying to the Bodhisattva? I didn't have a baby in my wife's belly at all. ”

Old man Mu squinted his eyes and asked, "Where is your nurse?" ”

Jia Cong said: "I have already been sent out of the house." She was given an estate to settle in, and her two sons also had their own livelihoods. ”

Old man Mu said: "She treats you very well, do you only repay you like this?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Then according to the old man, should I let her still be a slave in our family, or should I give their family a lot of money, and support her son, and let them rely on the famous brand in our house to ride on the heads of ordinary people?" ”

"! What's so outrageous? Old man Mu said, "Your family has a lot of property, and your nurse's son only opened two ordinary grocery stores to make ends meet. ”

Jia Cong shrugged and said, "You even checked this?" Her son is just an ordinary mediocre person and not very motivated, and it doesn't take much skill to open a grocery store, they can do it. As the saying goes, if you are a monk for a day, you will eat as much as you have on your stomach. The only thing I can give her is the status of a good citizen, and I have time to visit her and come to her grandson for a private school. If I give too much, either she will let the thieves target her because of her money, or her son will take a high position because of his incompetence and bring down my shop. ”

Old man Mu stiffened his neck and said, "You have more shops, why not bring one or two to them." ”

Jia Cong said: "Do those capable guys under them have to be angry with him to death?" The shop is not owned by the proprietor alone, nor is it owned by the shopkeeper alone, from the proprietor to the shopkeeper to the young man. ”

Old man Mu stared at him again.

Jia Cong said: "Old man, look at the Zhen family in Jiangnan." ”

After a while, Old Man Mu sighed: "If you had been born fifty years earlier to assist the first emperor, how could the world be like this!" ”

Jia Cong high-fived and said, "Does the old man also think that the world is the fault of the first emperor so far?" ”

Old man Mu was stunned and said to the man: "This kid is not only bold!" You have to meet the master to pay it back, if you meet a faint king, you may not know how to die. ”

Jia Cong pouted and said, "Now that the emperor has collapsed, did I say it well?" Otherwise, I wouldn't dare. I'm most afraid of death. ”

Old man Mu looked at him for a long time, Jia Cong simply sat up straight and let him see, and stood up and turned around. After half a burnt of incense, Old Man Mu sighed: "What Gan Lei said is true. Only with his temperament can he give everyone a way out. ”

Jia Cong blinked: "Huh? Does General Gan still want to pull me into the gang? ”

Old man Mu said with a straight face: "It's not a gang. It's all over to you. ”

Jia Cong was stunned for three seconds: "...... Leave it to me? ”

Old man Mu nodded slowly and said, "Not bad." I will leave this foundation left by Liu Dengxi to you. ”

It's cheap! Jia Cong raised his head and looked at the sky - did you drop the pie?
