Honglouchun

Staring at Jia Qiang for a while, she nodded and sent Mama Wu to settle Lin Chu herself.

Jia Qiang didn't stay any longer, and said goodbye to Daiyu and left.

After he left, Nanny Sun whispered: "This brother doesn't seem to be very old, and he was born so well, I didn't expect that he has a mature temper..."

……

"uncle!!"

In the front yard of Yanyuan East Road, Tietou knelt down to greet Jia Qiang with some excitement.

After Jia Qiang personally helped him up, he saw that there was a new wound on his forehead, and a large piece had rotted away. She frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter with the injury?"

Tietou smiled and said, "Master, don't worry, I am the master who can suffer? It was just when I first came here a few days ago, I had a little trouble with the Yan Ding under my aunt. But later, the foreign Taoist priest who invited back saved my aunt. Grandpa Zu died, and they all kowtowed to me neatly! I know that Grandpa never likes to be kowtowed by others, and I don’t like it, so I returned them one by one!"

"I really..."

Jia Qiang was convinced by this Tie Hanhan, and said speechlessly, "Then you don't have to pay them back one by one, do you?"

Tie Tou chuckled, his smile was full of cunning, and he lowered his voice and said, "Master, these are wild ways in the world. Sure enough, if I do this, those people who don't think highly of me in the bottom of their hearts won't treat me like that." It's an outsider. It will be much cheaper to act in Yangzhou in the future."

Jia Qiang smiled when she heard the words, and said, "Okay, wild people in the world can sometimes do great things. By the way, where are the Westerners?"

At the side, Old Butler Wang hurriedly said: "Together with the monks from Tianning Temple, the imperial doctor from Beijing is studying medical theory."

Jia Qiang wondered, "Does the foreign Taoist also understand our medical principles?"

Butler Wang said with a smile: "That Western monk named George is very fluent in official language. I heard people say that although this monk doesn't understand our sage scriptures, he is very thorough in medical theory. The two imperial physicians were both amazed and admired. In addition to the great monk of Tianning Temple, they quarreled in the front yard all day long, and it became a scene... But the people in the Salt Courtyard said that as long as they could The master's body is healthy, even if it turns the front yard upside down, it's worth it."

Jia Qiang was overjoyed when she heard the words, and said with a smile, "Since there is a gathering of famous doctors, it will be easier!"

After all, he hurriedly went to invite someone in person to see Li Jing's father who was placed in the front yard of the West Road Courtyard.

……

Shenjing City, Rongguo Mansion.

The back house of Pear Fragrance Court.

Xue Pan was eloquent, spitting wildly, bragging that after he went south, he could earn hundreds of taels of silver, 7 taels of silver, and he would be back in a year or two at most.

Aunt Xue was still worried about Xue Pan going south, but she didn't allow her to say: "Anyway, you guard me, so I can rest assured. Besides, I don't need you to do business. Although I lost 7 taels of silver, your uncle and aunt also said Well, when Brother Qiang comes back, Hua Jieyu will give it to him, and the 7 taels of silver will be returned... If you are short of silver, your sister and I will still have some. It’s better for you to keep your own place at home than to go south Earn hundreds of silver in a circle."

But Xue Pan has made up his mind, and he is willing to agree, he just said: "Mom says every day that I don't know the world, I don't know this, and I don't learn that. Now I'm ruthless and cut off all the unimportant ones, and I want to be an adult. I was learning to do business, but in the end your old man forbade me again, what should I do? I am not a girl, so keep me at home, when is the day?

Besides, I didn't go alone. Zhang Dehui, the chief shopkeeper of the pawnshop, is a tall and virtuous man. If I went with him, why should there be any mistakes?I had a bad place to go for a while, and he naturally said that I persuaded me, I know he is a mature and reliable person, so he naturally asked him how smooth it was, but he didn't ask me to go.After two days, I didn't tell my family, and I went away privately. I made a fortune and went home next year. Only then did I know about me. "After that, he went out with a gloomy face.

Aunt Xue was overwhelmed by his troubles, and she was really at a loss, so she went to Baochai to discuss it. Baochai smiled and said, "My brother really wants to experience serious things, which is of course good. It's just that he speaks nicely at home, but when he goes outside, his old illness recurs. It is becoming more and more difficult to restrain him. But there is nothing to worry about. If he really changes, it will be a blessing in his life. If he does not change, Mom can't do anything else. Half of it is done by human power, and half is obeyed by the destiny. Such an adult, If you just worry that he will not know the way of the world, can't go out, can't do anything, and will be locked up at home this year, and he will be like this next year? Since what he said is justified, mother forgives him for throwing away [-] silver and handing it over to him. Give it a try. Anyway, his original intention was to find Brother Qiang, and with Brother Qiang around, he would not suffer a lot. Now, listening to Brother Qiang's words is more effective than listening to my mother and me."

After hearing this, Aunt Xue thought for a while and said, "What you are saying is that under the guise of doing business, he is afraid to show his face in Beijing, for fear of being beaten by that lawless bastard again, and he wants to find a rose again." My brother came back to take revenge... However, Brother Qiang, you should write another letter, just say what I said, beg him, let him take good care of your brother. But don't mention that first Regarding the matter of [-] silver, wait for him to come back and let your aunt say..."

Baochai smiled wryly when she heard the words, but she also knew that her mother would feel uneasy if she didn't agree, so she nodded slowly in response:

"That's all right."

Chapter 137 Collapse (third update!)

Imperial City, Daming Palace.

The south of the Yangtze River is still full of flowers and willows. In Shenjing City, although it has not yet snowed, it can already feel the bone-chilling chill.

Inside the palace, a scorching earth dragon had already been burned.

In the West Nuan Pavilion of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the thin-faced Emperor Long'an put down the cinnabar imperial brush, his brows were tightly furrowed, and anger and irritability were suppressed in his solemn eyes.

It's not that he doesn't have enough self-cultivation skills. He has sat comfortably in the positions of Prince Lian and Prince Lian for more than 20 years. Insufficient self-cultivation skills?

It's just that now that he is on the throne of God, he has hundreds of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains on his shoulders, and the livelihood and enlightenment of billions of people are on his heart, which makes him feel like he is carrying the weight of Mount Tai.

If that's all, it's fine, but because of the chaos that came out of nowhere, it disrupted his plan for at least five years.

What's more, the wave of talented ministers who had accumulated through painstaking efforts during the five years of his enthronement and even the past 20 years of hiding in the mansion, were all expelled from Beijing, and his vitality was greatly injured!

Plus the Jiuhua Palace...

The fundamental differences in governance and politics have been exposed through this incident.

Even if in another two or three years, when Long Yu of Jiuhua Palace returns to heaven, but right now, none of the nobles in the court will be able to stay.

The sharpness of the contradiction and opposition, even though he has secured the throne, he is still frightened by it.

With all kinds of annoying things in his heart, how could he not be irritable...

Outside the hall, the copper bell of the Immortal Pagoda in the Buddhist Hall of Xianlou rang under the cold wind, echoing in the hall, like Sanskrit sounds, which seemed to calm the anger in the heart of the supreme being.

"master……"

Dai Quan, the chief eunuch of the Daming Palace, who was dressed in a scarlet python dragon suit, called out softly.

Emperor Long'an glanced sideways, his gaze was cold and serious.

As for the servants, he has always used them, but also deeply guarded against them.

He had always thought that such a person with a disabled body must also have a damaged mind.

Loyalty may be faithful, but loyalty does not necessarily mean doing faithful things.

Therefore, under the circumstances that civil servants, nobles, and generals in the army were mostly ex-officials of the Supreme Emperor, Emperor Long'an entrusted his servants with heavy responsibilities to balance the power of his servants, but he never indulged in the slightest.

There are no less than ten eunuchs who have been beaten to death for misbehavior these years.

Therefore, even Dai Quan is highly valued now, and he is majestic outside, but in front of Emperor Long'an, he is still as humble as an old dog.

"Master, the servants below report that a strange incident has happened in several palaces and prime ministers' residences in the past few days, and it also involves Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Ningguo Mansion, and that Jia Qiang."

Dai Quan bowed and reported.

Hearing the word "Jia Qiang", Emperor Long'an's dignified gaze immediately turned alert, and asked in a low voice, "Jia Qiang? What happened to that restless person? Hasn't he already left the capital?"

In words, he no longer concealed his disgust for Jia Qiang.

Dai Quan hurriedly said: "Jia Qiang got two weaving and dyeing prescriptions from nowhere, which are better than the weaving and dyeing prescriptions of Badabuzhuang Hengsheng and Dongsheng. He sold the blue dyeing prescriptions to He bought the Hang Seng account at a price of 3 taels. Among them, he lent 2 taels to Xue Pan, a son of the Xue family of the imperial merchant, and helped him collect 10 taels of silver to redeem himself for Hua Jieyu of Fenglelou. The other prescription is in Before leaving Beijing, he handed it over to Jia Yun, a clan brother who worked under him, and told him that if Dongsheng came to buy the prescription, he would collect 3 taels of silver and give the prescription to others. But he didn't want to, Dongsheng Zhao Donglin didn't go directly Instead, they found Jia Zhen from the Ningguo Mansion, gave Jia Zhen 1 taels of silver, and asked Jia Zhen, as the patriarch, to ask for the prescription..."

Hearing this, Emperor Long'an snorted coldly, and said: "Travel by stealth!"
