"Dai Neixiang walks slowly!"

Jia Chen stood in front of the Hou Mansion and sent Dai Quan away, and Cailuan, who was standing beside him, looked at Dai Quan's back with an unhappy expression.

"Little bastard! That's a hundred taels!

That dead eunuch is not afraid to die~~"

Hearing Cailuan's words, Jia Chen shook his head, the eunuchs who followed the emperor were not short of these things, and this one hundred taels could be a huge amount of money for others, and it meant to him.

Jia Chen looked at Cailuan still looking crying and mourning, and smiled.

"Okay, look at what makes you feel distressed, isn't it a hundred taels of silver, in the future, all the silver in our house will be under your control, as long as you don't take the silver to do things that hurt the heavens and reason, it's up to you~"

It turned out that the one hundred taels of silver tickets that were given to Dai Quan just now were asked for by Jia Chen and Cailuan, and now Cailuan, who has become a miser, is distressed!

Listening to Jia Chen's words, Cailuan's eyes lit up, she licked the corners of her mouth, and a smile appeared on her face again, "Really? You can't cheat!

”

Jia Chen nodded, although there are arranged subordinates in the house, but he can't trust these strangers, so things like money are handed over to Cailuan to manage, and he can rest assured.

After saying that, Jia Chen took the lead in turning around and walked towards the mansion, at this time, a very blessed old man with a group of maids and servants stood on both sides behind the main gate of the Hou Mansion, lined up in two columns, Jia Chen looked roughly, there were about forty or fifty people, and there were about twenty maids, the appearance was uneven, and most of the servants were young servants.

Seeing Jia Chen and Cailuan coming in, the group knelt down and shouted in unison, "See Lord Hou!" ”

Jia Chen raised his hand, "Get up!" ”

Looking at the old man at the front, Jia Chen asked out loud, "You are the housekeeper in the house, right?" ”

The old man listened to Jia Chen's question, didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Hou Ye, the old slave is the housekeeper assigned to Hou Ye by the Zongren Mansion, the old slave's surname is Yang, and his name is Liben, if there is anything to do with Hou Ye in the future, just command~"

Jia Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, he glanced at the others, and asked, "The others are also assigned by the Zongren Mansion?" ”

Zongrenfu is an institution that specializes in managing many ceremonial matters of the royal family and the families of officials who have received knighthoods, including the inheritance of titles, weddings and funerals, the decision of titles, and other matters, as well as the introduction of talents.

However, most of the families of this dynasty did not use the people of the Zongren Mansion, first, the origin of the people in the Zongren Mansion is quite complicated, and they don't know whether the other party is a spy of the royal family, or a spy arranged by a hostile family, it is not a wise move to put these people in the mansion.

Yang Liben sighed in his heart, these people had spent a lot of effort in order to enter this Hou Mansion, but listening to Jia Chen's meaning, he didn't seem to want to use them.

However, in the face of Jia Chen, he didn't dare to lie, so he had to reply honestly: "Yes~"

Jia Chen pondered for a moment, and then said to Yang Liben: "You stay, the maid leaves three, the servant leaves two, and the rest are sent back!" ”

When everyone heard Jia Chen's words, a trace of disappointment flashed in their eyes, they all thought that they had come to a good place, but they didn't think that this Hou Ye didn't give face to the Zongren Mansion at all.

When Yang Liben heard this, he swallowed his saliva, and sent back so many people at once, how could he explain to the people above! After all, the people who can enter this Hou Mansion are not ordinary people.

"Master Hou! The house is so big, I'm afraid that these two people can't take care of it! ”

After being silent for a long time, Jia Chen didn't speak, and Yang Liben couldn't help but be stunned, but the corner of his eye looked at the figure that was still standing on the high platform in front of the door, knowing that Jia Chen had not left, he didn't dare to raise his head, so he just stood there with his head down.

As time passed, the courtyard became more and more depressed, although Jia Chen didn't say a word, it still made everyone present tremble, as if pressing a boulder, and they became more and more out of breath.

Of course, the most deeply touched is Yang Liben, after all, he is the one who speaks directly to Jia Chen, and the rest of the people dare not breathe, the servants and maids standing on both sides only feel that the time at this time seems to stand still, and the sound of his heartbeat in the winter is in his ears, although he doesn't know the real ability of this champion Hou, but now, he is still living like a year.

"Are you teaching Ben Hou to do things?"

A whirlwind blew in the courtyard, Yang Liben trembled, Jia Chen put too much pressure on him, even the Zongzheng Lord of the Zongren Mansion had never let him be like this, he couldn't help but reposition in his heart what kind of weight the three words Champion Hou had.

While thinking, he quickly knelt on the ground and replied urgently: "The old slave doesn't dare!" The old slave didn't dare! Please forgive the Hou Ye~"

Jia Chen took a step forward and walked in with Cailuan, and when he passed Yang Liben, Jia Chen said a word, so that Yang Liben nodded quickly as if he was amnesty.

"Don't take it as an example!"

"Benhou's personal guards will come in a while, arrange a place for them to live, and in the future, the servants will not be invited from outside, if there is anything, you can tell them!"

"Obey~"

Then he said to Cailuan beside him: "Go pick the maid!" ”

Cailuan nodded obediently.

Jia Chen casually pointed to a small guy and said, "Go to the study, you will lead the way!" ”

A hint of surprise appeared on the little guy's face, originally he thought that he was going to be sent back, after all, his relationship was not so good, and he couldn't rank at all in Yang Liben, but now listening to Jia Chen's envoy, wouldn't he say that he could stay.

He got up quickly with his hands and feet, and led the way in front of him, until he didn't see Jia Chen's figure, Yang Liben wiped the cold sweat that had crawled all over his forehead, and now he regretted taking on such an errand, the young champion Hou in front of him, who was so good at his means and acted so domineeringly, he must not be a good master, and he was afraid that he would be sad in the future.

After coming to the study, Jia Chen let the little guy retreat, the layout of the study was similar to the study of Lin Ruhai he saw in Yangzhou, it was decent and had no characteristics, but he didn't care about it.

After coming to the desk, Jia Chen took the Eight Immortals chair back and sat down.

Looking at the stack of four books and five classics on the table, he was slightly distracted, when he was in the Fengtian Temple before, he vaguely noticed a trace of abnormality, although the breath was very strong, but he could feel that the person was the same as the three major sacrifices of the Later Yuan that he had encountered before.

Thinking of what the three of them said to him, he could naturally think that that person should be the person standing behind Dakang, or the person standing behind the Dakang royal family.

However, the person today did not seem to notice his abnormality, and his breath was fleeting. When he left the palace before, he thought about it, and for this reason, he almost didn't seriously injure Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of the palace next to Emperor Ming Kang.

"It seems that we will have to pay attention to these people in the future~"

Jia Chen said in his heart and put this matter aside for the time being, the other party can't interfere in the affairs of the world without authorization, that is a good thing for himself.

Then Jia Chen planned today's things again, Jiafu should go to the other side, after all, he was born there, and his little maid who was rescued from Jinling was also there, as well as Xichun, and the protagonists of this overhead world, Jinling Twelve Hairpins, Phoenix Egg Jia Baoyu, and the Tongling Treasure Jade, are also there.

Just when he was still thinking about these things, the door of the study was pushed open, and Cailuan walked in with three handsome little maids, as a beautyist, Cailuan couldn't be interested in those who looked ordinary at all, so when choosing, the three most beautiful maids were selected, but at this time, the eyes of the three little maids were a little red, as if they had cried.

"Clear?"

Seeing them come in, Jia Chen said something confusing, but Cailuan smiled lightly.

Looking at the three little maids standing at the door, Cailuan pointed and said, "One is from the palace, one is from the Great Prince's Mansion, and the other is from the cabinet Fan Yuan and the family!" ”

Hearing this, Jia Chen was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth twitched, it seems that he was right not to leave those people, if they were all left, wouldn't his house become a sieve, but not a single one was left, this is not good, it is actually okay to be like now.

Jia Chen touched his chin, and then asked, "Aren't you afraid that they will lie to you?" ”

Cailuan giggled, a hint of deep meaning flashed in her eyes, she touched her nails, and replied, "I fed them something~"

Hearing Cailuan's words, the three little girls didn't know what they thought, and they trembled unconsciously, and then fell to their knees with a thud.

"Master Hou!

You let us go! We swear we will never leak a word to the outside world! ”

"Ask Lord Hou for mercy! Ask Lord Hou for mercy! ”

Jia Chen looked at the frightened appearance of the three of them, and guessed about Cailuan's behavior, but he didn't think that Cailuan had done anything wrong, after all, they were all spies sent over, and he saw that Jia Chen's expression did not fluctuate, and said in a deep voice: "Give you two choices, the first one, let you go~"

Hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared in the eyes of the three little maids, just now they were almost scared to death by Cailuan, to be honest, they don't want anything now, they just want to get out of here alive.

But they didn't have long to be happy before they changed their minds.

"It's just going out sideways, Ben Hou doesn't believe you can control your mouth!"

Hearing this, the three little maids were excited, and the Cailuan on the side was also full of fun, she couldn't leave by herself back then, and a few of their little girls were still daydreaming?

No matter how the other party reacted, Jia Chen spoke again: "Second, stay in the mansion on an errand, you can pass the news to your master, but you have to know what news to transmit!" If Ben Hou discovers anything abnormal, don't blame Ben Hou for being ruthless! ”

Hearing this, the three maids looked a little strange, and they quietly raised their heads and glanced at Jia Chen.

"Of course, this is an ugly thing to say in front, if you have always been loyal, this Hou will not treat you badly, according to the monthly example of a first-class maid in the capital, double monthly serving, when you reach the age, you are allowed to go out of the mansion with people, if you don't want to, the Hou Mansion will not send you a mouthful of food!"

After Jia Chen finished speaking, the three little maids moved their throats twice, they glanced at each other, and said in unison: "I am willing to listen to the Hou Ye's dispatch, and I will never give up!" ”

It's better to die than to live, and these little girls naturally know how to choose.

Jia Chen nodded, "You guys go alone, go and talk to Yang Liben, Ben Hou will go out in a while, let him get ready!" ”

"The remaining two people will help Ben Hou prepare his clothes, and Ben Hou will change his clothes~"

When the three little maids heard Jia Chen's command, Ying Ying bowed, said goodbye, and went their separate ways.

It's just that Cailuan on the side was a little surprised, and when she saw the three maids leaving, she looked at Jia Chen, Jia Chen raised her eyebrows, knowing that Cailuan was also planning to go out with her, so she said: "Go change your clothes by yourself, go together for a while, and don't talk at that time, only watch~"

The corners of Cailuan's mouth bent, and he ran out in a hurry.

Half an hour later, Jia Chen walked out of the Hou Mansion wearing a bright red outfit, in front of him was a eager to try, lifelike golden unicorn pattern, a jade belt around his waist, a pair of soap boots under his feet, his hair was tied by a jade crown, showing his grace.

"It's okay for the little bastard to be long~"

When Jia Chen heard this, he raised his eyebrows, "Is this crazy again?" What nonsense? ”

Cailuan glanced at Jia Chen angrily, this is their southern Xinjiang dialect, and it is to praise the handsomeness of men! This nerd who doesn't understand amorous things.

"You're saying that some little bastard looks better than Pan An!"

Seeing Cailuan like this, Jia Chen smiled, shook his head, and no longer cared, "Riding a sedan chair or riding a horse?" ”

"What kind of sedan chair to sit on, I'm not a weak little girl!"

After saying that, Cailuan also asked people to pull out a horse, and as soon as he stepped on the pedals, he got on the horse, and then glanced at Jia Chen, as if to say that the old lady was not so weak.

My Healing Game

Then Jia Chen lightly touched the ground and jumped on the horse's back.

"Let's go~"

The streets of the capital are very spacious, the shops on both sides of the street are lined up, the shouting of small traders and hawkers in the streets and alleys is endless, sugar people, sugar gourds, juggling, performing arts, all kinds of snacks, there is everything, at a glance, the fireworks are full, lively and extraordinary.

Looking at Cailuan's expression, Jia Chen shook his head helplessly, "Another day!" Today's clothes, although they are often used as complements, are still a little ostentatious. ”

Hearing this, Cailuan reluctantly withdrew his gaze and followed Jia Chen into another street.

There are three words on the street archway, "Ningrong Street", compared with the previous street, this street is obviously deserted, there are only a few merchants, looking at the bookstore on the street, Jia Chen's eyes flashed a trace of reminiscence, when he was still ready to take the road of the imperial examination, he came here a lot, rubbed books to read, time is quiet, and now in a blink of an eye, it has been five or six years.

After thinking about it, Jia Chen turned over and dismounted, and before coming to the bookstore in three or two steps, there was a cover outside the store, with a book on it, the store was almost the same as before, and there was not much change, Jia Chen glanced at a corner, well, it was still the old man, it was Jia Zheng who invited a poor talent from the countryside, and he remembered that the other party's name was Si Songgen.

When the old man heard the movement, he got up from the bamboo chair slowly, squinted his eyes, shook his head and said: "This place is the Jia family's bookstore, which is not open to outsiders for the time being, and the children of the Jia family can read here for free, but they must not damage the books!" ”

There was a stove where he stayed, but the books were flammable, so they were far away, and he didn't see the people who came, and when he came from the wall, he saw a young man dressed in red, which made him feel shocked.

This kind of vermilion color is not worn by ordinary people, and only those officials above the fourth rank can wear red.

"Dead old man, his body is still so tough~"

Seeing this old man, Jia Chen said half-jokingly.

Si Songgen listened to this familiar greeting, his heart trembled, he hadn't heard this voice for four or five years, he thought that Jia Chen's life had died in Huangquan! After all, Jia Chen was too young back then, and he was a person, and in this world, the chance of a child surviving alone was not too great.

"Are you a little brother??"

Seeing that Si Songgen's eyes were moist, Jia Chen also sighed a little in his heart, when he came here to read, he spent a lot of time with this stubborn old man, from the beginning he also complained, and later he was willing to take out a few pennies to prepare two buns for himself, and Jia Chen was still grateful to this old man.

"It's me~"

Hearing Jia Chen's words, Si Songgen wiped two handfuls on his face indiscriminately, and smiled.

"The wind is strong, and the sand is blind~"

Jia Chen knew that this old man was stubborn, so he didn't try to demolish him, he casually pulled over the two stools on the side, one was sent to Si Songgen, and the other was placed on his side.

Si Songgen didn't take care of it, so he naturally took the stool handed over by Jia Chen, sat down, and then asked, "Little Brother Chen, where have you been in the past few years?" I don't see you coming to read the book~"

Jia Chen smiled, "I didn't go anywhere, I fought twice on the upper nine sides, and I happened to win, isn't this a return to my hometown!" ”

He knew that this old man had been staying here on weekdays, and he didn't go out, and the news was very ill-informed, he expected that the other party didn't know what his current identity was, so he didn't use himself as a champion to stimulate him, he was old, if he was stimulated, it would be bad if he died.

Sure enough, Si Songgen didn't know what was going on outside, or he didn't think that the little brother who was reading in front of him was the famous champion Hou!

"On the battlefield? It's good to be back! It's good to be back! I'll tell you! The battlefield is not a good place, swords and swords, people are there, and they lose their lives accidentally, so it's better to study! It's better to read! ”

Jia Chen didn't refute this, the battlefield is indeed not a good place, if he didn't have the ability to penetrate the world, he would never take this road.

"It's okay, there will be no battle on the nine sides in the future!"

Hearing this, the old man was a little muddy, the border land has always been a place where the smoke of gunpowder does not stop, how can there be no fighting?

Seeing him like this, Jia Chen continued with a smile: "Our Dakang has won a big victory this year, and the Houyuan has been beaten to a pulp, and the army is overwhelmed, and they are afraid that they will not dare to come to the Nine Sides to fight the autumn wind or anything for a long time!" ”

Hearing this, Si Songgen nodded.

"Yes! Then the people of our frontier are happy! Oh! By the way, little brother Chen, have you ever looked at each other! I see that you are not young, you have finally set up a career, and it is only right that you should start a family as soon as possible! ”

Hearing this, Jia Chen couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, he looked big, but in fact he was not yet fourteen years old, getting married at this age, and this old man could think of it.

Then the two chatted for a while, Jia Chen and Cailuan asked for a silver ticket of one hundred taels and handed it to the old man, at first Si Songgen said that he didn't want anything, but later Jia Chen said that he let him accept it, in fact, it was not that Jia Chen refused to give more, but he knew that this hundred taels was the limit of the old man's safety, if it was more, I was afraid that it would be plotted by the villain, if it wasn't for the lack of fifty taels, he wanted to give fifty taels, and the rest would be given slowly in the future.

Later, he told Si Songgen that there were any juniors in the family, and he could help the other party find an errand, but he was also politely rejected by the old man.

In desperation, Jia Chen told him again that if there was any difficulty, he would go to the house to find himself, and then he got up and left.

Out of the bookstore, there were not a few steps ahead, Jia Chen didn't get on the horse again, walked directly, and walked towards the Ningguo Mansion~
