The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

The scholar who was ridiculed raised his chin high, with a look of 'everyone is drunk but I am sober', and said with a sneer: "I really don't like those officials and family members who want to marry Rongfu. When Jia Guogong was in trouble, What kind of people are they? They all make trouble, and wish they could go down. How many officials are complaining in private because of "Secrets of the Neighbors"? They are obviously very scared and disgusted. I can't wait to get married with him and find a backer. Hmph, I think those people are really not as good as a 'full of bad water' person like me."

"fallacy."

"That's right, it's really shameless to speak out loudly."

……

"Zhang Ling, what nonsense are you talking about again, follow me." The crowd shouted, and a tall man in brocade wearing a cloak with a white fox collar rushed in, and quickly pulled the scholar away who had just spoken loudly.

"It turns out that guy's name is Zhang Ling."

"Should we go to the government to sue him, maybe we can get a reward."

The rest of the people were discussing, and then they sneered at each other.

After Yongyuan pulled Zhang Ling out, he dragged him into the carriage, and trained him not to know how to measure, and even talked nonsense in front of the public, causing trouble.

"Why are you talking nonsense, what I said is not true. Tsk tsk, look at the faces of those people, what does Jia Enhou's son-in-law have to do with them, all of them are wagging their tails, and they want to hurry to tell the Duke of the country God damn it." Zhang Ling tilted his mouth and looked disdainful.

"Shut up, if you let the master know that you said these words behind your back, you will suffer." Yongyuan said sharply.

Zhang Ling was terrified when he heard this, and quickly changed into a playful smile, and begged Yongyuan to go and don't tell his master, he was most afraid of that person.

"Who is that man? It's your uncle."

"Being raptured, he is stricter than my father. I am afraid of him all over the world." Zhang Ling immediately showed a look of fear, paused, and then remembered the business, and asked Yongyuan why he came to him.

"If I don't look for you, you may make trouble now." Yongyuan gave Zhang Ling an angry look, and ordered the coachman to drive.After the carriage started to shake, Yongyuan told Zhang Ling that his uncle was looking for him.

As soon as Zhang Ling heard this, he immediately pouted his buttocks and wanted to escape, but was dragged back by Yongyuan.

"The car is gone, you still want to jump out of the car."

Zhang Ling had a bitter face, "I beg you to be old, please spare me! I don't want to see my uncle first. You said that he is not staying in Guangdong and Guangxi, so why come to the capital?"

"This year's Enke, your uncle naturally hopes that you can get a good ranking and win glory for our Zhang family."

"It's that sentence again." Zhang Ling sighed.

"We'll go to the Song Mansion in a while. There are people from Song Mulin there. Be careful what you say, pay attention to your words, and don't leak your words." Yongyuan instructed.

Zhang Ling: "Why, uncle lives in the Song Mansion? Isn't he afraid that Song Mulin will find out?"

"Do you think he is you?" Yong Yuan sneered, then closed his eyes and remained silent.

Zhang Ling gritted his teeth in resentment, vented his anger secretly, and Fang was honest, leaning against the window and watching the situation on the street outside.

After two sticks of incense, the carriage wobbled to the Song Mansion.Since neither Zhang Ling nor Yongyuan was a person of any status, they naturally walked through the back door.

Yongyuan immediately took Zhang Ling to see Song Yun.Song Yun was drinking tea and chatting with Song Xi in the side hall, and he was talking about something of interest, so naturally he didn't want to bother him.Yongyuan took Zhang Ling and waited in the wing room.

According to Zhang Ling's temperament, he couldn't sit still, he wandered with his hands behind his back, looking at the decorations in the house, looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, almost every time he looked at one of them, he couldn't help but smack his lips in admiration, and immediately sighed with Yongyuan that the Song Mansion was really luxurious rich.

"Look at these decorations, which one is not worth 800 taels of silver? You really deserve to be from a powerful family." Zhang Ling couldn't help but tsk-tsk twice, jealous from the bottom of his heart, he turned to Yongyuan and said, "I want to live in this house."

"Stay, this book is for you."

Zhang Ling was happy now, and agreed with a smile.Just when the laughter fell back, I heard the rumor from the servant girl in the courtyard that Jia Guogong had arrived.

Zhang Ling was a little excited. He hadn't seen this legendary doctor who "shocked the world and made all the officials cry".Zhang Ling hurried to the door, opened the door a crack and waited and watched.Coincidentally, this Jia Enhou seemed to know that he was watching him die, so he turned his head and glanced at him.Zhang Ling was so frightened that he quickly moved away sideways.

Seeing this, Yongyuan said happily, "He can see such a small crack, it scares you."

Only then did Zhang Ling breathe a sigh of relief, and patted his chest, "I was really shocked. I never thought that Jia Enhou, who is nearly forty years old, turned out to be such a handsome and handsome man!"

"Isn't it less knowledgeable? A man of high rank naturally knows how to take care of himself." Yongyuan said indifferently.

"Look at what you said, haven't I seen it before, but he is different."

"That's because you haven't seen Song Mulin yet, so you must be ten times more surprised than this."

Zhang Ling was about to express his disbelief when he heard another commotion in the courtyard.From the moment he got to the crack of the door, he saw Jia She, who had just entered, come out again, and there was a man standing beside him, wearing a blue brocade, just looking at his back, he felt that his figure was extremely slender and handsome.Immediately after seeing him coming through his head, it was just a side profile, so he was so surprised that he forgot to shut up.

Song Yun also came out at this time, and politely said to the two of them: "I'm considered a guest here, so I won't see you off. When you're done with your work, come to me, and the three of us will have a good drink."

Jia Amnesty nodded slightly, then turned around and left with Song Xi.

After a long while, there was no movement in the yard. Yongyuan saw that Zhang Ling's body was still peeping, standing petrified at the door.

Yongyuan came over and patted Zhang Ling on the shoulder, startling him.

"It's really as you said, then Song Mulin is really...not bad, not bad." Zhang Ling said with some obsession.

Yongyuan patted him on the head and took Zhang Ling to see Song Yun.

Song Yun's original smiling face immediately turned into an iceberg after seeing Zhang Ling.

"I've been in Beijing for so long, and I haven't seen you come to worship, where are you going crazy?" Song Yun's voice was calm, but very pressing.

……

Besides, after Jia She and Song Xi came out from Song Yun's place, they chatted about Song Yun's temperament.Song Xi had a high opinion of him, but the high evaluation Song Xi referred to did not refer to his character, but his ability to plan things.

"He's very good at employing people, and he's also very good at persuading people. It's a bit like the trick you did before." Song Xi laughed.

"It's very comfortable talking to him." Jia She paused and asked Song Xi, "Someone came from his yard, do you know who it is?"

Song Xi shook his head, looked at Jia She suspiciously, and immediately summoned Hengshu to ask.

The entry and exit of Song Mansion personnel are all controlled by special personnel, and there is absolutely no way to hide multiple people coming in.

After Hengshu checked it, he hurried to report, "It's a poor scholar who the second master helped with money before, and now he happened to come to Beijing to participate in Enke, so the second master asked someone to pick him up. His name is Zhang Ling, The second place in the township examination should be good in talent and learning."

"Zhang Ling." Jia Amnesty repeated, then looked at Song Xi.Song Xi and Jia She had been together for a long time, so he could naturally appreciate the different meanings in his words, so he asked him why.

After the two entered the room, they sat across the table and chatted about the matter in secret.

"His surname is Zhang, and the most prominent surname in Wolong Village is also Zhang. Today, the two officials who are reused by the prince, as well as Ma Tianmo, Tang Tianli and Wang Tianfang are all from Wolong Village."

Song Xi even understood what Jia She said, he narrowed his eyes slowly, and looked at Jia She silently.

"You and your second brother have a good relationship?" Jia Amnesty asked.

"It's okay, but he's a ruthless person, and I'm not too sympathetic." Song Xi commented, also intending to tell Jia She that if Song Yun really had a problem, he would never care about his personal feelings.

Jia Amnesty: "I was wondering if it was because of the prince that he came to Beijing this time. I heard that the prince has forgotten to write a letter to a local official and the garrison general in order to win their support."

"I have also received this news." Song Xi said.

"This time they walked very steadily. They didn't solve the problem violently and were eager to get to the top, but gradually figured it out. The prince now occupies a favorable position, and his name is justified. In addition, the saint is seriously ill and it is difficult to do anything. This situation is getting more and more difficult for us. Jia She sighed, and wrote Zhang Ling's name on his nose with a pen.He also needs to investigate this person's identity carefully. If it can be proved that this person has something to do with Wolong Village, Song Yun must have participated in the rebellion and cannot be cleared.

Jia Amnesty asked Song Xi to tell him about the old prime minister's friend Xu Yi and the situation of Xu Yi's concubine, Song Yun's biological mother.

Song Xi was completely clueless when asked, "I don't care much about these details, this is where I am inferior to you. But although I don't know, there are some old servants in the mansion, many of them are with the old man and old lady, they should Know something inside."

After Song Xi finished speaking, he wanted to invite these old people to ask them one by one.

"No. It's easy for you and me to be caught up. This kind of investigation can easily make Song Yun aware. It's fine if he's innocent. If not, it's better to scare the snake. We'd better hide it."

Song Xi nodded.

Jia Amnesty then called Fang Zhenglu and asked him to accompany Heng Shu to check on those old servants when it was dark.

In the early morning of the next day, Jia Amnesty had just finished bathing and changing when he received Fang Zhenglu's reward.Fang Zhenglu recorded all the old servant's statements in the notebook without changing a word.After Jia Amnesty had seen it, he immediately sent someone to investigate Song Yun's biological mother, Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi had already died of illness ten years ago, so she had to investigate from the old people and neighbors around her.He simply found the midwife who delivered Xiao's birth back then.This woman is now over 70 years old, but she is in good health and has a clear memory of that year.

Jia Amnesty looked through the records of his subordinates' visits and investigations, and immediately noticed that there was a conflict in the description, "The midwife said that the baby Xiao gave birth was thin and weak, and the cry was very small. After delivery, she almost thought the baby was dead. But Mrs. Li, a neighbor who has a close relationship with Mrs. Xiao, said that when she went to visit Mrs. Xiao the second day after giving birth, "the baby's screams are loud, and the baby is fat and cute."

"When some of these children were just born, their bodies were red and unattractive. As for the cry, it may be that they have gained strength after eating milk? Besides, the old lady is in her [-]s, and her memory may be poor." Fang Zhenglu explained.

Jia She looked at him coldly.

Fang Zhenglu immediately changed his words, "Of course, it is also possible that, as the master said, there may be something tricky in it."

Jia Amnesty pointed to a maid named Cuiyun and surnamed Zhang that was written in the notebook next to the Xiao family. "Go and check her history."
