Detective in the Red Chamber

This is a mess!

Before entering the palace, Sun Shaozong also mentioned that King Zhongshun was not jealous of meat and vegetables, and let Liu Xianglian go as far as possible. Who knew that he and Big Brother Cheap really fell into the trap of themselves!

"Wang... lord..."

Big Brother Cheap was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what to say for a long time. Just now, his superb acting skills were all thrown to the country of Java.

Sun Shaozong gritted his teeth at the side, got up and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, it is clearly written in the document that I am hired as a wife, not to mention that the matter is not yet a foregone conclusion, even if the daughter of the Jia family has already entered the door of my Sun's house, it is still very important." There is absolutely no reason to sell the wife that Ming Media is marrying to someone else!"

King Zhongshun's expression darkened suddenly when he heard this, he leaned forward slightly, stared at Sun Shaozu viciously, and asked word by word, "Are you sure you don't want to sell?"

"Wang... lord, lowly... lowly..."

Brother Cheap has always been known for being rough and bold, but under the intimidation of King Zhongshun, the two sides fought, slid down the chair to the ground like noodles, and grabbed his head with a plop, "Forgive me, my lord, this matter... this matter Son Wan Wan Wan Wan Wan Wan..."

Although his body is not up to the mark, he still has some backbone in his heart.

"Hahaha……"

It’s just that before the word “Wanwan” came out, King Zhongshun patted his thigh and said with a laugh, “The lonely king is just joking with you, look at your frightening virtue!”

"If you say that Jia Amnesty's concubine is a concubine for the master, it's not an insult to her - but she is also the cousin of Concubine Xiande. I don't look at the face of the monk, but I have to look at the face of the Buddha, right?"

Your sister's joke!

It's fine for others to say this, but you, a ridiculous prince who has always been lawless, who dares to take such words as a joke? !

Sun Shaozong and Sun Shaozu cursed in their hearts, but on the surface they could only cooperate with a forced smile, and praised a few times against their will, "My lord is really funny, so funny!"

The King of Zhongshun laughed again, "Besides, I don't care for such delicate beauties in Jia's family."

That is, you like a delicate man!

Sun Shaozong was slandering in his heart, when he suddenly saw King Zhongshun leaning forward, and said with burning eyes, "The little lady of the Wei family is quite to my liking—especially those two long legs, which are coiled around her waist. It can also hook half of your life!"

"It's a pity, it's cheaper than Shui Rong!"

As he said that, he spat into the fruit plate next to him, and immediately a maid took it down and replaced it with a new one.

At the beginning, Sun Shaozong wondered who this little lady of the Wei family was. Later, when he heard the word 'Shui Rong', he realized that he was referring to the concubine of King Jingjing!

As the leader of meritorious nobles, King Shui Rong of Beijing is far above the Rongguo Mansion in terms of status. King Zhongshun made up a few words, but how dare the two brothers take up the fight?

He had no choice but to watch his nose and nose and his heart, and let King Zhongshun be there, using obscene words and rhetoric to round up Princess Wei, and by the way, he melted King Beijing in water, belittling him like Wu Dalang reincarnated.

It involves a secret place, and the two brothers who only listen are sitting on pins and needles.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for King Zhongshun to lose his interest in lust, put away the dirty words, and got back to the topic, saying, "Okay, the matter of the mediator has been accepted, and I will send someone to honor it tomorrow." Take a trip to the national government—do you two have anything else to report?"

It's over!

According to Big Brother Cheap, he should say goodbye and leave immediately, lest King Zhongshun make any troubles again.

It's just that Sun Shaozong agreed to Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian after all, so he said cautiously, "My lord, I heard that the theater troupe in the house is very famous. It just so happened that my brother bought a batch of maids a few days ago, and some of them have good voices. Thinking about setting up a grass-roots team to entertain myself, but it has been to no avail."

As he said, he arched his hands and said, "I wonder if I can invite the masters in the prince's mansion to come to my house and give some advice?"

"Why, your family also wants to set up a theater troupe?"

Hearing this, King Zhongshun regained his energy immediately, he straightened his spine, and immediately a servant girl mended two more cotton pads, allowing him to straighten his body comfortably.

I just heard him show off incessantly, "Don't mention it, if you want to talk about the troupe raised by this family, you have to be called the second, and no one in this world dares to be the number one!"

"Especially Qiguan, who was trained by my grandfather, let him go out to perform a few performances during the Longevity Festival, and immediately caused a sensation in the four or nine cities. The invitation cards for visiting him in more than half a month were piled up enough. There are mountains high!"

"Old Jiuqian also said that he would buy him with 5 taels of silver, but I kicked him out!"

It seems that the current treatment of this celebrity is similar to that of the idol stars of later generations - they are all sought after by thousands of people, and they are all playthings in the hands of the powerful.

Seeing that he took the initiative to mention that Qiguan Jiang Yuhan, Sun Shaozong immediately scrambled and said, "Since this is the case, I wonder if it is possible for that Qiguan to come to the humble family to give some advice?"

King Zhongshun stared at him up and down for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "If it's someone else, I really don't want to give him this face, but it's you who opened the mouth—someone, call me Qiguan! "

This absurd prince treats himself very differently from others.

Wouldn't it be any different? !

Think about Ah's obsession with long legs...

Sun Shaozong felt a shudder down his spine, hurriedly bowed to avoid the sight of King Zhongshun, and respectfully said, "Thank you, my lord."

"You don't have to thank me. It's better than anything else if you finish the errand that His Majesty gave you!" Zhongshun Wang Hun waved his hand indifferently, but then asked, "I heard that Qiu Ying specially sent his son to you. Is the criminal justice gone?"

Sun Shaozong himself had just learned about this, but he had already...

Could it be that this ridiculous prince has been paying attention to him for a long time? !

Sun Shaozong's hair stood on end, but he forgot to reply.

Fortunately, King Zhongshun didn't point at him to reply, and he laughed to himself, "You have to train that kid hard, if you really make him more promising, maybe there will be a big job in the future, and you will fall On your head!"

To temper Qiu Yunfei?What an errand?

What is this all about!

But listening to this, it shouldn't be some kind of errand...

While speaking, I saw a young man with a charming and gentle demeanor rushing in from the outside, and instead of saluting the loyal king, he hurriedly asked, "Who is Master Sun Shaozong?!"

This should be Jiang Yuhan, right?

But what did he mean by asking himself so anxiously?

Sun Shaozong was suspicious in his heart, but he smiled boldly on his face, "I am Sun Shaozong, if you dare to ask, is Mr. Jiang?"

"Oops~!"

That Jiang Yuhan exclaimed, looked Sun Shaozong up and down a few times, then smiled and said, "Master Sun is indeed a handsome man! To be honest, I plan to rehearse a "Sun Gong Case" based on Mr. Sun's experience recently, who knows The adults just happened to come to the door!"

Chapter 192

On the second day of November, Rongguo Mansion, East Living Room.

Mr. Jia wore gold presbyopic glasses on the bridge of his nose, his chubby body leaned forward slightly, his two fat and short arms leaned on the desk, and he poked his neck like a thousand-year-old tortoise, staring at a handle of emerald stones on the table with burning eyes. bone fan.

"Good stuff, really good stuff!"

After a while, he shook his head and straightened his back, carefully closed the fan with emerald bones, and put it in the box with great care.

Then, like a drug addict who has been full of opium, he smashed his whole body into the grand master's chair, his face full of muddy intoxication.

This fan is worth a lot just because of its material, not to mention the authentic work of Cai Xiang, a great calligrapher of the Northern Song Dynasty, so it took Mr. Jia 700 taels of silver to take this treasure home.

Redeem the treasure that was previously mortgaged, and pay back half of the debt owed to the other half. The creditor's status is not high enough, Mr. Jia is "too lazy to pay back" the debt, and after buying this baby fan, Jia She sells his daughter for 7000 yuan. More than 1000% of the taels of silver have gone, leaving only a little over [-] taels.

But Jia Amnesty didn't think there was anything to worry about. Since Sun Shaozu was willing to offer 7000 taels of silver to marry the Rongguo Mansion, what's the point of offering another [-] taels?

That's right ~

In fact, Mr. Jia never thought of regretting the marriage at all.

Such a wealthy son-in-law who is willing to give real money, how willing is he to pass it on to others?The reason for the hypocrisy is just to sit on the ground and raise the price!

Ordinarily, I fooled Sun Shaozong away the day before yesterday, and Sun Shaozu should probably come to the door in person these two days. At that time, should I open my mouth to him directly, or should I take my time?

These two options...

It's really hard to choose!

"Master, master!"

Mr. Jia was in a sweet trouble, when he saw the butler Zhou Rui rushing in from outside, he said out of breath, "Master, outside... someone from outside... someone from outside..."

"coming?!"

Jia Amnesty jumped up from the chair and said joyfully, "Then why are you standing here stupidly, why don't you hurry up and invite people in!"

In the past few days, he thanked the guests behind closed doors and waited for the Sun's family to come to the door, so Zhou Rui thought that Sun Shaozu must have arrived when he reported it.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Rui took the order to go out, and not long after, he brought in a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper.

Sun Shaozu actually only sent a housekeeper?

Jia She was displeased in his heart, and when he saw the housekeeper holding his head upright without any sign of awe, he became even more displeased, thinking that your master is my future son-in-law, a little housekeeper How dare you be so rude? !

So he didn't wait for the housekeeper to speak, and asked in a rough and vicious voice, "Why didn't your master come over in person?!"

The butler was taken aback for a moment, but then he cupped his hands defiantly, and said with a sneer, "My lord is busy with business, so it's inconvenient to condescend."

"My lord?"

Even though Jia Shedang was a little dumbfounded, he blurted out, "Which prince?"

"Which prince can it be?"

The steward bowed his hands towards the sky, and proudly said, "Naturally, it is the old man Zhongshun Wangta——I am not talented, and I am added to the post of the head of the palace."

"Loyalty...Loyalty Loyalty King Zhongshun?!"

Jia Amnesty immediately became tongue-tied, so he didn't even care about the 'master's face', he hunched over and laughed and said, "Misunderstanding, this is really a big misunderstanding! Don't dare to say such stupid words just now!"

"I said."

That Chang Shi sneered, pointed his nostril at Jia Amnesty, and said, "Originally, I wanted to report back to the lord, and let the old man come to ask for advice in person. Seeing General Jia's intentions, it seems that there is no need for this."

"It's not necessary, of course it's not necessary!"

Jia Amnesty shook his head like a rattle, and slanted his shoulders flatteringly, "Master Chang Shi, please take a seat——Zhou Rui, where did you die? Why don't you make a pot of high-quality tribute tea for Master Chang Shi!"

Although the chief minister of the palace is only a fifth-rank official, he is the first-class confidant of the princes of each family. Offending Chang Shi is like offending the prince himself. That's why Jia She lowered his status so low.

However, the long history didn't mean to sit down, and still said arrogantly, "Your official can't afford that tribute tea, let's talk about the business first--My lord heard yesterday that you took away the tribute tea from the patrol camp." Sun Shen gave him a dowry gift of 1 taels of silver, and wanted to betroth the family's daughter to him."

"My prince loves to be lively, and he has some friendship with both parties, so he specially sent an official to send two congratulatory gifts."

As he said that, he waved his hand to the door in an anti-customer manner, and someone brought in two snack boxes immediately.

The chief official pointed to the dim sum and said, "A box of 'Bai Shou Tong Xin' is for your mansion, and the box of 'Hundred Years of Love' can be sent to Sun's house."

Jia Amnesty was dumbfounded when he heard this, King Zhongshun just took some money to buy an official, so why would he personally intervene in such private affairs?

How did he know that what Sun Shaozu really valued by King Zhongshun was actually the business route with an annual profit of more than 10 taels!

"how?"

Seeing that Jia Amnesty was in a daze and didn't intend to go forward to take the snacks, Chang Shi raised his eyebrows again and said displeasedly, "Is it possible that General Jia is not satisfied with the prince's reward?"

"how come!"

Only then did Jia Amnesty come to his senses, and hurriedly stepped forward to take it with his own hands, and then pretended to be grateful, saying, "I'm so happy that I don't know what to do at the moment!"

"That's good."

Chang Shi arched his hand and said, "Since that's the case, I won't bother you anymore. I'll just ask for a glass of water and wine when the family celebrates next year."

Happy next year?

She even set the date of marriage for herself!

Is he marrying his daughter, or is the Zhongshun Palace going to marry his daughter? !

Seeing the palace chief Shi Da stabbing away, Jia She was furious and suddenly lifted up the two boxes of snacks, but hesitated for a while, but finally dared not drop them on the ground.

He had no choice but to carefully put the snack next to Cai Xiang's fan, then picked up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, smashed it randomly, and finally fell down on the grand master's chair panting like a cow.

However, the palace chief Shi acted in a blatant manner, and when he spoke, he was very angry, and coupled with Jia Amnesty's fierce reaction, what was tricky about it, of course he couldn't hide it from the nearby servants.

So it only took half a day, and the news that Jia Enhou sold his daughter to General Sun of the patrol battalion for 1 taels of silver spread throughout the Rongning Second Mansion as if he had grown legs.

Naturally, Jia Yingchun, the person involved, also got the news.

But she just became more and more speechless, as if she had evolved from two woods to two stones.

But the one who reacted the most was Jia Baoyu, who always regarded himself as a flower protector!

Chapter 193

Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Jia Tanchun, Jia Xichun...

Except for Jia Yingchun who was the person involved, Li Wan who was "occasionally feeling the cold", and Wang Xifeng who was busy with housework, all the Yingying Yanyans in Rongguo Mansion gathered in Jia Baoyu's courtyard.

Of course, even when nothing happened, they often gathered together here.

Jia Baoyu walked back and forth in the living room twice with his hands behind his back, and when he passed by Lin Daiyu, he suddenly paused and said, "Uncle, how can you be so confused, let the second elder brother be so talented as not to be selected, and let the second elder sister be the general of Sun Shen?" ?!"
