It is said that Jia Cong finished coaxing the two princes in one trip, and returned to the Taiping Dart Bureau happily. I saw Jia Huan sitting in the courtyard with a sad face and cheeks to eat snacks, and his son was reading a book next to him, and asked with a smile: "Are the two gods gone?" ”

Jia Huanyi said: "I don't know what to say inside, and I have made a call, I don't know if the tables and chairs in our study are injured." ”

Jia Cong Nai stood outside the door and shouted: "Third sister, have you two finished arguing?" ”

Qin Sangu came out of it and said indifferently: "We are all adults, why quarrel?" Are you your child? ”

Jia Cong stepped forward and rolled his eyes: "What Qin San's shopkeeper said is, what are we martial arts practitioners arguing about, just fight directly." The gentleman does not move his mouth. ”

Qin Sangu couldn't help poking his finger and asked, "How is King Ning's mansion?" ”

Jia Cong twitched the corner of his mouth: "King Ning simply locked him up in the barracks!" Brother Xianwang is like a piece of soft tofu that is held up on a frying pan, and it can fall down if you touch it. ”

Jia Huan couldn't help but laugh.

Qin Sangu glared at him: "I know! It's not like I haven't been there. Didn't you order anything fresh? ”

Jia Cong said: "What's new is that I spent a long time with Brother Xianwang to coax him to coax King Ning, I don't know if he is willing to go or if he can coax him." ”

Qin Sangu frowned: "So there is no way to say this?" ”

Jia Cong waved his hand again and again: "My sister! The doorway of his house is long. Gunners, axes, archers, everything, a little mess really got into the oil pot. I haven't seen such a reckless way of guarding people. He walked into the house.

I saw Feng Ziying sitting on a chair with her head stuffed, her hair in a slightly crooked bun. Jia Cong looked back at Qin Sangu's head neatly as if it had just been combed, and sighed, "Brother Feng, you lost again." ”

Feng Ziying raised her head: "How is the prince?" ”

Jia Cong sat down and said, "I can't get him out, so I persuade him to return to King Shunning." ”

Feng Ziying looked at him for a moment and said, "Since you don't respect the saint, how can you look down on King Ning." ”

Jia Cong said: "Aren't you going to get Brother Xianwang out now?" Since it can't be saved, it can only come out if it is surrendered first. You can only do something else after you come out. Otherwise, what's the use of being locked up all the time? Besides, King Ning just wanted to be the king of Shu, not the emperor. ”

Feng Ziying shook her head and said nothing.

Jia Cong turned his head to look at Qin Sangu: "What are you two arguing about?" Why did Brother Feng seem to wilt. ”

Qin Sangu said: "It's nothing, he's not happy to lose." ”

Jia Cong smirked: "People who have never won are not happy. He slipped away a few more glances, and saw that Qin Sangu was heroic, and Feng Ziying was speechless, so he guessed eight. Nine is not far from ten, but looked at Feng Ziying and said, "Brother Feng doesn't need to be in a hurry, I see that Brother Xianwang is in a good mood, he is not thin, and he is still in the mood to write poetry." He's so smart that he'll probably be able to come up on his own in two days. It's useless for you to be in a hurry. I'm not afraid of you being annoyed by saying something, you don't have the ability to do it at all, and it's not your turn to save him. ”

Feng Ziying said in a low voice: "It's just a matter of fulfilling the responsibilities of subordinates." ”

Jia Cong said: "The responsibility of his subordinates is that you will do whatever he assigns to you, and Mo Duo on the side should have his own considerations." He's not a saint! ”

Qin Sangu glanced at him, and hurriedly answered, "What about the saint?" ”

Jia Cong smiled secretly in his heart, and sang and said: "The saint's ability is mediocre, and it all depends on the people below to help him." He sighed twice, "It must be very tiring to work for him, and I don't know if I will add it or not." ”

Qin Sangu glanced at him with a smile: "Nonsense! ”

Jia Cong stretched: "When the world is peaceful in the future, I will go to King Xian's brother's mansion as a staff member." Save trouble, don't worry about accompanying the king like a tiger, and he can't guarantee that he will give more. ”

Feng Ziying said: "King Xian also works for the saint. ”

Jia Cong said: "Then it has nothing to do with me." I don't know if the saint can come back; If you can't come back, which of these princes will be on the throne. It's better to draw lots. ”

Feng Ziying hurriedly shouted: "Don't talk about it!" Let people hear that the tongue does not cut you. ”

Jia Cong said: "Don't I say it to others? Maybe how many people are talking about it. The more powerful people are probably betting on it. I just don't know that the little emperor may be able to suppress this group of princes, and none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. It's not uncommon for an uncle to sit on it one day. ”

Feng Ziying was stunned and sighed: "Then the world will be in chaos." ”

Jia Cong said: "No." This group of princes is quite capable, and those who can go up must be the most capable, and the world will never be chaotic. Li Shimin killed his brother in Xuanwumen, imprisoned his father in Da'an Palace, and Zhu Di simply slaughtered his nephew to power, aren't they all ancient emperors? The common people don't care how the emperor went up, whether he went up reasonably and legally, whether he did bad things to the original one, they only care about how he governs the country. Whether the world is safe or not, the people are not in the king. As long as the people are not touched, it doesn't matter how the emperor's family wants to play. ”

Qin Sangu high-fived: "Good boy! I also understand this, but I can't say it. Sure enough, the reader is stronger. ”

Jia Cong grimaced, and then said, "Actually, it doesn't even matter whether the emperor is the master or not. Look at what the emperor did when Zhang Juzheng was in power? What a carpenter emperor alchemy emperor. Since it's mediocre now, it's good if you can throw all kinds of things to Brother Xianwang's brother. I don't know if he will or not. ”

Qin Sangu said: "Naturally, he has been pressing the hands of the first emperor for so many years. ”

Jia Cong shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Why do I think that the third sister, a woman in the market, can see these things more clearly than Brother Feng when it comes to the monarch of the imperial court?" Is this the bystander's clear? ”

Qin Sangu smiled and glanced at Feng Ziying. Feng Ziying's face was cloudy. Jia Cong and Qin Sangu talked about it and stopped talking about it. For a while, the two of them took their leave, and today's matter was put aside for the time being.

After waiting for a few days, Situ Pan was released, so Jia Cong sent someone to inquire in King Ning's mansion. King Ning ordered someone to tell him: "Lao Jiu has something in his hand that is extremely important, but he refuses to take it out." ”

Jia Cong thought about it, the most important thing in this case is probably the tiger talisman. This thing is certainly not in Situ Pan's body; Since King Ning wanted to, he had probably searched King Xian's mansion. I don't know where it's hiding.

But at this time, there are unreasonable things coming to the door. Xue Baoqin had already promised Mei Hanlin's son, and he was also preparing to marry when he came to Beijing. Although she had heard that the Mei family was a bit snobbish, because the Xue family's business had been doing very well in recent years, Aunt Xue thought that this matter would be fine. I don't want them to suddenly make people come and quit their relatives today, and they are unreasonable. Because the Xue family now lives in a small courtyard of the Taiping Dart Bureau, and Xue Pan is not there, Aunt Xue has no owner, so she went straight to the Jia family brothers.

When Jia Cong heard that it was "Mei Hanlin's son", he hurriedly turned his head and asked Jia Huan: "Are there many people surnamed Mei in Beijing?" ”

Jia Huan was stunned: "Where do I know?" Why don't I take a look? ”

Jia Cong nodded hurriedly: "Look at it, what if it's really that coincidental?" "It's funny on the one hand. This time, Liu Xianglian has already married, and Xue Baoqin can't be in Liubian even if she is not in Meibian.

Jia Huan accompanied Xue Zhen to Mei Hanlin's house in the name of a relative, asking for an explanation. When he entered the study and looked at it, it was really Mei Gongzi, who had eaten a snack for a few days, stood up from the chair and bowed his hand to him: "Jia Gongzi." ”

Jia Huan's mind was suddenly full of thoughts, and he said to Xue Zhen: "Second Brother Xue, I know this Mei Gongzi. Why don't you discuss the council with Master Mei first, and I will go outside with Master Mei to talk? ”

Xue Zhen knew that he had some reputation in Shilin, and he thought that he had an acquaintance to talk to, so he hurriedly said, "Please, please." ”

Mei Gongzi smiled at Xue Zhen and went out with Jia Huan.

After walking a few steps outside, seeing that there was no one on all sides, Jia Huan said first: "I'm a little confused." You are involved with two princes, one went to Shandong as a puppet, and the other is gone, so you are really not a prosperous lord. ”

Na Mei Gongzi smiled bitterly: "Therefore, I am afraid that I am tired of Miss Xue because of my bad characters, so I hereby withdraw from my family." ”

Jia Huan glanced at him: "Can you say something that people can understand?" What is it for, exactly? Even if you scholars don't look down on their family as a merchant, you won't survive these days. It's a coincidence. ”

Mei Gongzi said earnestly: "I have a few sets of foolish words, but I don't want to coax Jia Gongzi this time." Retired because the Seven Princes were gone. ”

Jia Huan said: "What does it have to do with you getting married when the Seventh Prince disappears, don't you get married if he disappears?" ”

Mei Gongzi said: "This family business was decided by my grandfather, and my father and mother were not very satisfied. My grandfather went to his old man's house two years ago, and the two of them immediately intended to quit their relatives. At that time, the Xue family started to make seafood, and suddenly became more and more wealthy. The father of the family thought that he needed money to support the Seventh Prince, and there were some benefits to marrying the Xue family, so he did not retreat. But now the Seven Princes are gone. ”

Jia Huan nodded when he heard this: "This is reasonable." ”

Mei Gongzi said: "Don't you think that my Mei family has no faith? ”

Jia Huandao: "The most important thing in marriage is harmony and beauty, what is the use of faith?" Now the young lady of the Xue family has to thank the Seventh Prince. Otherwise, she married into your family and couldn't give the Seventh Prince benefits, and her life would be unbearable. ”

Mei Gongzi raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Can't you give the Seventh Prince benefits?" ”

Jia Huan said: "Not everyone surnamed Xue can benefit from the Xue family." The Xue family's industry, Brother Xue is outside, and Sister Xue is in Beijing. The little brother of the Xue family just helped run errands; I'd rather give it to the girl in the big house than give it to him. ”

Mei Gongzi let out an "ah" and exclaimed: "I didn't expect this section." ”

Jia Huan said: "Don't hit Sister Xue with your idea." I'll let me talk about it here first, the Xue family's money won't be delivered. ”

Mei Gongzi said: "I heard that Miss Xue is not young. ”

Jia Huan said: "Hmm. She won't get married, and she will inevitably recruit in the future. ”

Mei Gongzi said contemptuously: "What good people can be who are willing to intervene in the door." ”

Jia Huan said: "She can see it pleasing to the eye, she is in charge of the house, and marrying a little son-in-law with a soft personality and handsome appearance is; It's not a man who marries a façade. ”

Mei Gongzi's face was strange, and he said for a long time: "This ...... Isn't this a Hedong lion? ”

Jia Huanqi said: "How can it be a Hedong lion?" Hedong Shi is Chen Yu's wife, and Chen Yu's wife also eats Chen Yu and wears Chen Yu, which is different from Sister Xue. ”

Mei Gongzi was speechless for a while, and said, "That man eats soft rice." ”

Jia Huan thought for a while and said, "Maybe Senior Sister Xue won't let him just eat and not work, he has to settle accounts and run errands." ”

Mei Gongzi became more and more speechless. The two clearly had a lot to ask each other, but it was inconvenient to say more, so they went back after a few pleasantries.

Jia Huan entered the Mei family's study again, although he didn't know what Mei Hanlin said to Xue Zhen, he was quite annoyed when he saw Xue Zhen's appearance, and hurriedly pulled him to leave. Mei Gongzi sent them out of the mansion, and Xue Zhen only looked at him with a cold face. After the two of them got on the horse, Mei Gongzi seemed to have something to say, and finally said goodbye.

When he got off the horse at the door of the dart game, Jia Huan hurriedly pulled Xue Zhen and said, "Don't be angry! That Mei Hanlin gave you about an excuse, it's not worth it to be angry! ”

Xue Zhen hurriedly asked, "What did you say over there?" ”

Jia Huan hurriedly walked from wall to wall and whispered what Mei Gongzi said. "If you lose, you have to quit your family, otherwise it won't be long before Miss Xue gets married, I'm afraid that I will have to find some excuse to come back."

Xue Zhen was dumbfounded! After a long time, he said: "Looking at it this way, my sister-in-law is lucky to withdraw from this family!" ”

Jia Huan said: "Isn't it? People don't want to marry a virtuous and intelligent daughter-in-law at all, they want to get a gold mine for nothing. As the saying goes, greed is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant. Even if you move the Xue family's treasury to them, they may not be satisfied. ”

Xue Zhen laughed angrily: "Do his spring and autumn dreams in broad daylight!" He threw up his sleeves and strode back to the courtyard of the Xue family.

Jia Huan stood in place and looked at him without a shadow, and hurriedly ran inside to tell Jia Cong and others about the matter, but asked Gong Sanyi: "Sir, do you think that Mei Gongzi is telling the truth?" ”

Gong San also smiled: "It's obvious that it's an excuse." It's just that it's not easy to fool you with ordinary excuses, so they thought about this. Aiming at the fact that the Seven Princes are now raised in Rongguo Mansion, this is definitely not true. It's just that I can't think of a reason for it for a while. He asked Jia Cong.

Jia Cong said: "Could it be that Mei Gongzi has other family affairs to knot-hey, this person is also pitiful." Miss Xue is very good, talented and good-looking. Fortunately, she is not very old, and it is not difficult to find another family business. ”

Gong San also sighed: "In such a chaotic situation now, her identity is neither high nor low, and it is not easy to find another good match." ”

For a while, Liu Aiyun came over to Jia Huan to inquire about the Mei family. Jia Huan told him what happened today, and said: "That Mei Gongzi used to be a staff member of the eldest prince on the surface, and secretly wanted to help the seventh prince, which is quite unusual. I don't think he's stupid to talk to, and Mr. Gong also said that what he said was an excuse, and maybe there was something strange in the future. This family business has been requited excellently. ”

Liu Aiyun nodded and said, "I know." "Say goodbye and leave.

Jia Huan has known him for a long time, and knows that this person is generous and polite on his face, but in fact, his heart is not big, so he chased a few steps forward: "Brother Liu, if you want to take revenge on their family, be cautious, I'm afraid there are other reasons, don't act rashly." Either you wait, we'll check first. ”

Liu Aiyun turned back to him and said indifferently: "Who said I want to take revenge on his family?" ”

Jia Huan hurriedly waved his hand: "I didn't say anything." ”

Liu Aiyun retreated and said, "I got a letter to sue me." ”

Jia Huan was busy with "yes". When Liu Aiyun walked farther, he shouted behind him, "Sister-in-law is like a mother-" After shouting, he ran away and laughed.

Liu Aiyun didn't look back at all, and left on his own. Jia Cong, the bear child of the Red Mansion
