The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

Rongguofu.

At dusk, Mrs. Xing returned from her natal home.

Mrs. Xing went to serve dinner at Jiamu's place as usual, and when she came back, she went to the study and told Jia Amnesty that she would go back to her mother's house tomorrow.

Jia Amnesty was burying her head in writing, when she suddenly heard this and looked up at her, "What happened to your natal family?"

"It's nothing serious, master, don't worry, I'll go back tomorrow." Mrs. Xing saluted Jia Amnesty, and went back to her room to rest without even having dinner.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Xing came to say goodbye to Jia She.

Mrs. Xing's elder brother, Xing Zhong, took his family to Beijing because of the difficulties in his family.Jia She guessed that her eldest brother would spend a lot to settle down in Beijing, so he asked Zhu Mao to fetch another 200 taels of silver for Mrs. Xing to hold.

Mrs. Xing hurriedly said: "No need, the 200 taels that the master gave yesterday, I actually haven't given it to him yet, I will give it to them today."

Mrs. Xing blushed when she spoke, and hurriedly said goodbye to Jia She, and left in a hurry.

Jia Amnesty felt that Mrs. Xing was a bit strange, so she thought about asking her in detail when she came back in the evening.

Zhu Mao sneaked into the house at this moment, seeing no outsiders, hurriedly approached Jia Amnesty excitedly.

"Master, there is something important. Do you want to listen to the matter of Uncle Ningfu Zhen and Second Sister You?"

"I know about this, can't you find out something new?"

Zhu Mao was aggrieved, how did he know that Master was so well informed.

Jia Amnesty felt that this would not work, he had to expand the news network to every mansion in the noble circle of the capital.The secrets of the rich and powerful never escaped the eyes of the servants around them.

As long as this network is established, there will always be brave men under heavy rewards, and there will always be bold people who dare to break the news.

The black pig is not very courageous and has always acted cautiously. He has many beggar friends and many channels to spread news.Jia She felt that it would be most appropriate to leave the matter of News.com to the black pig.

In addition, Jia Amnesty also intends to set up a facade to open the door for those who take the initiative to break the news.The shop doesn't need to be too big, but it needs to be exquisite, and it needs to be ostentatious, deliberately doing some other business on the surface.Zhu Mao was the most proficient at this kind of thing, so Jia She arranged for him to do it.

After Jia Amnesty finished assigning the two tasks, he was idle by himself, so he went for a stroll in the street and listened to the wind outside.

Tongtai Street is a famous street of tea shops and wine shops in the capital.

Jia Amnesty passed by one of the tea shops called Shui Xiang, and vaguely heard a voice mentioning Song Xi inside.He pulled up his robe and went in, only to see a 15-year-old young man in a green robe surrounded by everyone, talking in high spirits.

"When it comes to this "Secrets of Neighborhood", the content is very subtle. There are five stories in the book, all of which are to expose the scandals of officials and nobles. I am not talented, and several rich and noble friends have personally confirmed it from their mouths. , these contents are all true. Although the names of the people involved in the book have been changed, they are hard to get rid of. Anyone who knows a little bit about the inside story can easily deduce their true identities with careful consideration."

Everyone booed and asked who the officials mentioned in the boy's book were.But the young man played tricks, shook his head and didn't say anything.

Some bold and unrestrained people came up and shouted: "Even if you don't tell us, we know that there is a man called 'Songxi' in there, that is Song, the great scholar of the Martial Arts Hall in the court—"

The shopkeeper of the tea shop hurriedly covered the speaker's mouth, "Amitabha, gentlemen, I beg you, please stop talking about this. I still want to keep my shop open, and I still want my head to grow on my neck."

"Shopkeeper, what are you afraid of? We're just talking about what's in the book, giving away people's water." Someone joked.

Everyone laughed and echoed, chaotically shouting "Send Xi".

The shopkeeper of the tea shop blushed with anger, and hurriedly dismissed the young man in green robe who was provocative, begging him to leave quickly.The young man in green robe hummed twice, and really left.Everyone felt that it was boring, and scattered in all directions, complaining that they would no longer support the business of this tea shop.

Jia Amnesty then followed the crowd out.

The young man in green robe didn't go anywhere else when he went out, he just stood across the street, staring at Jia Amnesty all the time.When the people were almost gone, he leaned forward and looked at Jia She with great interest.

"What do you see me doing?" Jia Amnesty asked puzzled.

The young man smiled and cupped his hands, "Are you the Master Xi of the Rong Mansion?"

Jia Amnesty didn't expect this person to know him, so he asked who he was.

"I'm a small person, so I'm not as famous as the master. I've seen the master before Liu Xianglian." Liu Xianglian bowed again.

It turned out that this handsome white-faced boy was Liu Xianglian.

Jia Amnesty heard the joke in Liu Xianglian's words, hummed twice, waved his hands, and didn't follow the child.

Liu Xianglian didn't know what to do, so she chased after her, and asked boldly, "Master Xi, do you know about "Secrets of the Neighborhood"? Does it contain your story?"

Jia She still ignored him and walked straight forward.

Liu Xianglian smiled, and continued to chase, "I don't think Mr. She is surprised, he must know about it. Think about it, too, here "Secrets of the Neighbors" are only sent to the mansions of princes and grandsons, how can the Duke's mansion miss it. "

Jia Amnesty stopped, and said to Liu Xianglian, "Are you annoying?"

Liu Xianglian suddenly turned cold, showing righteous indignation on her face, "I just want to persuade the elder to forgive me, so I can do it for myself, and stop harming those young and innocent girls."

Jia She was overjoyed, no wonder Liu Xianglian stuck to him like a follower, she turned out to be a 'messenger of justice'.Jia Amnesty suddenly stopped, patted Liu Xianglian on the shoulder, and gave her a thumbs up.

"Good boy, courageous and promising, please continue to maintain this original aspiration in the future."

Only then did Liu Xianglian let go of her guard, let go of the sword in her hand, and looked at Jia She very puzzled.

At this time, a luxurious carriage drove up from the street corner, not to mention other places, the four corners inlaid with gold on the top of the carriage alone are enough for ordinary people to eat and drink for a lifetime.

Liu Xianglian recognized the origin of the carriage at a glance, and murmured in a low voice: "I just saw the thief, and I'm here again. This street is not clean, I won't come again!"

After Liu Xianglian finished speaking, she spat at the side of the road and walked away with her sword in hand.

Jia She sighed inwardly that the child was really jealous, and turned to look at the carriage.But by coincidence, the carriage stopped in front of Jia Amnesty.

Jia Shen looked at the wood used in this carriage, which was better than the mahogany canopy bed he slept on, and reckoned that the person sitting inside must be a distinguished person.

After Jia Amnesty finished appreciating it, he put his hands behind his back and headed towards his home.

"Jia Amnesty?" A cold male voice suddenly came from inside the car.

Jia Amnesty turned his head to look, and saw a tall young servant jumping out of the cart and getting on the mahogany pedals.Immediately, the curtain of the car was lifted, and a man in a black brocade robe emerged from inside.

The man was about 30 years old, with handsome features, and his gestures were elegant, yet extremely intimidating.After this person got out of the car, he put his hands behind his back and smiled, and looked at Jia She, as if he was looking at someone, or at something unimportant with contempt.

The first time Jia She looked at this person, he felt uncomfortable.

Jia Amnesty didn't want to talk to him, so he turned around and left.

"Marquis Jia En, you and I have the same fate, and we can learn from each other. I declare my family, my lord Song Xi." After Song Xi said, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, making the surrounding pale.

When Jia Amnesty heard the word "Song Xi", his legs became stiff and he couldn't lift up.The first reaction in his heart was how could this person find himself and take revenge?The second reaction is that it is unlikely.Judging from the meaning of Song Xi's words, it didn't seem like he was here to find fault.

"So it's Mr. Song, sorry for your disrespect!" Jia Amnesty immediately cupped his hands, perfunctory, "I can't believe that Mr. Song is so handsome and powerful."

Song Xi cast a sidelong glance at Jia She, nodded his head, and said nothing.

"Then... why did Master Song find the next official?" Jia Amnesty raised his eyebrows and asked.

Song Xi gestured with his eyes, and someone handed "Secret Stories Next Door" to Jia Amnesty.

"There is you in this book." Song Xi began to stare at Jia Amnesty intently.

"Yes, there is me, and someone delivered a copy to my house last night." Could it be that this guy is looking for a co-victim?Jia Amnesty held his breath and responded calmly.

Song Xi sneered.

When Jia She saw him like this, he guessed that he was angry because of what the book said about him, so he couldn't help asking: "Is it true that what is said in this book is not true?"

Song Xi stared at Jia She coldly for a while, then Fang twitched the corners of his lips, admitting unwillingly, "It's true."

"Mine too." Jia Amnesty blinked easily.

"Brother Enhou, don't you wonder who the author of this book is?" Song Xi suddenly changed his tone, and took the initiative to call Jia She "Brother Enhou".

Jia Amnesty shivered secretly, and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency Song is a nobleman of the emperor. How can you be a low-ranking official? He absolutely dare not be called 'brother'. This book is anonymous, and I don't know who sent it. Even if you want to find it, you can’t find it, so why bother to be curious. And after a while, everyone will naturally stop talking about it.”

"Sure enough, I'm not as good as Brother Enhou at this point." Song Xi insisted on calling Jia She "Brother Enhou" as if he hadn't heard anything.

Jia She laughed twice, not wanting to talk to Song Xi any more, so he said goodbye to him on the pretext of having something to do.

"Let's go now? I wanted to take you to Sanzifang."

"Three Character Square? Why do you want to go there?" Jia Amnesty turned to look at him.

Song Xi replied: "Naturally it is the place where this book was printed."

"Why do you think it's there?" Jia Amnesty asked pretendingly puzzled.

Song Xi: "It just so happens that I am the owner of Sanzifang, so I am naturally aware of its printing characteristics."
