The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

Seeing Jia She's expression of embarrassment, the king of Qi hurriedly told the group of people not to make noise, but Song Xi couldn't be driven away, so the three of them went to Qi Wang's mansion together.

Song Xi rarely had to go to visit the old concubine, so Jia Amnesty would naturally follow.

Concubine Rong in Prince Qi's mansion is the current emperor's aunt. She has a reputation for being fierce and resolute. It is said that even the emperor would have a headache and complain that he can't be provoked when he sees her.Rumor has it that when she spouts, the whole palace can be cried down by her, a true old woman, unreasonable.

Concubine Rong had heard that Jia She was promoted and became the newest favored minister of the Holy Majesty. She warmly greeted Jia She's family, especially Jia's mother.By the way, he also mentioned that Mother Jia asked someone to deliver a message to her the month before.Although Concubine Rong didn't say it explicitly, Jia She knew in her heart that she was alluding to Jia Mu's entrusting someone to ask about Yuan Chun's selection of the concubine's position.

Jia Amnesty didn't change his expression, just smiled indifferently, sighing that Jia's mother is free at home, so she likes to worry about the affairs of the younger generation.

"Sometimes I don't have to worry about it, but I get tired and sick. We all told her to stop worrying about it. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Her old man only cares about her health and lives a long life. We are thankful."

In fact, Jia Amnesty's implication was to tell Concubine Rong that Jia Mu's words were too many to count, and she was just worrying.

Concubine Rong laughed, her expression was not as enthusiastic as before, and she glanced at Jia She meaningfully, as if she wished she could shoot an arrow to kill Jia She with her gaze.

Jia She remained calm, he did not say or do anything wrong, so naturally he was not afraid of Concubine Rong's threat.

Seeing this, Song Xi asked about Concubine Rong's body and changed the subject.

Concubine Rong is very familiar with Song Xi. She almost watched Song Xi grow up, so she was even more rude to him, and asked Song Xi: "From the moment you enter the door, you always look at Jia Yushi if you have something or not. , What do you mean? He also has enmity with you?"

Concubine Rong deliberately used the word "also".

"I'm different from the concubine because I appreciate it." Song Xi explained.

King Qi burst out laughing.

Jia Amnesty blinked his eyelids and picked up his teacup.

Song Xi glanced at Jia She, and when he saw him, he blushed a little, and hurriedly changed the conversation, telling Qi Wang to move to other places to talk about the matter.

Concubine Rong was not happy when she heard this, "You guys said to come to see me, so why did you accompany me and leave after only a few words? You are not sincere in your visits!"

"Old concubine, don't think too much, we just have to come and see you first when we get here." Song Xi said.

"You brat!" Princess Qi slammed the table down, pointed at Song Xi, and snorted coldly, "Your father really spoiled you."

Jia She glanced at Song Xi and saw that the corners of his mouth were curled up slightly, showing no sign of annoyance or fear. He knew that he was familiar with Concubine Rong, but it was just a joke.After a while, Concubine Rong really laughed again, and scolded Song Xi and the others to leave quickly and not be an eyesore in front of her.

After Song Xi came out, he saw Jia She was distracted, and asked with a smile, "Did you fall in love with the old concubine?"

"My mother came from a martial arts family, and she is a bit more forthright. Please don't take offense, Mr. Jia." King Qi explained politely.

"My lord, you are being polite. The concubine is a rare person with true temperament." Jia She replied.

Concubine Rong is already an old man, and she only has one son under her name, King Qi. If this incident is really related to King Qi, she must be sad and sad.

Song Xi didn't speak.

Jia Amnesty and Song Xi looked at each other, their eyes darkened.

A group of people went to the back garden of the palace, Song Xi deliberately ordered his favorite dishes, distracted King Qi and went to order his servants.He patted Jia She on the shoulder, and said only one sentence: "The Son of Heaven breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people."

Jia She said, "Don't worry."

The two then entered the gazebo and enjoyed flowers and tea with King Qi.

"It's a pity that Mrs. Jia can't drink alcohol, otherwise it would be a great blessing in life to have a pot of warm osmanthus and green plum wine when waiting for the autumn scenery."

Jia She apologized politely.

King Qi hurriedly waved his hands, blaming himself for talking nonsense.He invited Jia Amnesty this time, and he didn't have any special purpose, he just wanted to ask about the case of the peace mission, how he judged from the clues that there was a problem with the peace mission.Jia Amnesty answered truthfully one by one.

The king of Qi was full of praise, he used words very carefully, and complimented Jia She with admiration.Jia Amnesty felt that King Qi was trying to win him over on purpose, and thanked him politely again.

Then the three of them spent an hour in this atmosphere.

Jia She didn't ask much, King Qi mostly asked Jia She and praised Jia She, while Song Xi drank tea leisurely and watched with cold eyes.

Jia Amnesty and Song Xilai finally survived until they left Qi Palace.

"Do you have a purpose in coming to Qi Palace this time?" Song Xi asked.

"Wandering around," Jia Amnesty replied, and then added, "but there are no clues."

"Just drink a few sips of tea in the garden, and we can get some clues." Song Xi sighed.

Jia Amnesty paced slowly and got into the car.Song Xi also returned to his carriage.Song Xi's car went first, while Jia She's car drove slowly behind.Just after Jia Amnesty's carriage got out of the street where Prince Qi's Mansion is located, a little boy stopped the carriage and handed over a letter.

Jia Amnesty took a look at it, smiled, and sent the coachman away quickly.

When we arrived at Neighborhood Pavilion, the two cars entered through the back door.

As early as when Song Xi was riding in the carriage, a servant told him that Jia Amnesty's carriage was moving slowly and was stopped suddenly.

After arriving in the private room, Song Xi asked Jia She what happened just now.

"A doctor I just met recently invited me to meet at Tianzi No. [-] Room of Xiayang Restaurant on the [-]th of this month."

"Doctor?" Song Xi asked.

"Yes, Dr. Sun from Prince Qi's Mansion, do you know?"

Song Xi shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.

"I see that although King Qi is tall and big, he is not in good spirits. I have been observing him during the court these days. Sometimes he is very excited, and sometimes his eyes are lax and lack of energy." Jia She said.

Song Xi said he didn't pay attention, he never puts people who don't care in his eyes.If you want to say how many times Jia She laughed in a day, he can say it accurately.

Seeing that he did not express his opinion, Jia Amnesty knew that he did not observe this matter. "It doesn't matter, let's take a look at Wei Yuzuo's situation. I gave him all the pills I got from Dr. Sun later, and hope he can find out the result this time."

"By the way, you found out that there were women in the palace who had miscarriages, how many?" Song Xi asked.

"At present, I know three. One year ago, two years ago, three years ago, one every year. Almost everyone knows about the miscarriage, but the Qi Palace changes new people every year, and the news will subside accordingly, so Not easy to check."

Song Xi frowned and said, "I know there was another one five years ago. I don't know if he had this problem at that time. It was a side concubine surnamed Zhang who was pregnant. At that time, the old concubine was quite happy. The matter was spread to the palace and told the empress and the empress dowager. Not long afterward, I heard that the child was lost, and side concubine Zhang also became ill due to the miscarriage, and died soon after. Because of this incident, the dowager was sad for a long time, The Empress Dowager then ordered the palace people not to mention this matter again. It has been a long time, and the miscarriage is not new in the palace, and everyone has forgotten it."

"He died of miscarriage again."

It can be called a coincidence that one has two, and three has four, it must not be a coincidence, there must be something tricky in the Qi Palace.Jia Amnesty felt that the information provided by the anonymous whistleblower was [-]% likely to be true.The remaining [-]% depends on evidence.Is it the king of Qi who is harming people, or is it Dr. Sun who looks like a doctor and a Taoist priest?

"I think you are about to have a clue. If I guess correctly, you are going to 'show off your power' when you go to the Qi Palace this time. You deliberately attracted the attention of Dr. Sun and took the initiative to contact you. Why, I contacted him before. When you were born, your identity was looked down upon by others?" Song Xi pointed out the truth.

"It's a little bit. I think I have too many things and problems. After all, it's because I don't have enough status, and my status has become more distinguished. He is willing to catch up without saying anything."

Jia Amnesty couldn't help sighing the benefits of this promotion, not to mention this Dr. Sun, those people at Yushitai before, saw that he had stayed in Yushitai for a long time, and Song Xi didn't protect him much, so they began to criticize him wantonly .Most people think that he is a fool who hangs around and talks nonsense, and they also say that he is a master who stands in the latrine and does not shit, and they often laugh at him behind his back.What's more, they pretend to chat and talk, and directly criticize Sang Huai in front of them.

Although Jia She doesn't like to worry about these things, these people are always in the way of his eyes every day, and they are really noisy and flustered.

And this time, after he was promoted, he directly became the top leader of Yushitai, and he also made real contributions. These people all regretted it.Only then did Jia Shen's ears calm down.

"Have you been instructed by the family? Don't let them take money from people casually, and you will fall into the trap. After all, your popularity in Yushitai is not very good, so don't turn around and be recruited by your own subordinates." Song Xi reminded.

"I've told you a long time ago, so people should watch it carefully." Seeing that Song Xi took the trouble to accompany him to the Qi Palace this time, Jia She expressed that he could invite him to dinner.

"It's so rare, I must go to the banquet."

"What kind of banquet are you going to? I'm just hungry and I want to eat steamed stuffed buns. Are you going?"

Seeing Song Xi nodding his head, Jia She immediately took him to the steamed stuffed bun shop diagonally opposite Baofu Medicine Store, and ordered Song Xi the best cabbage and meatball soup here.

After Song Xi looked at the bowl, his expression was slightly hesitant.

"Don't like it? Then change places, go to Xiayang Building or Zhuangyuan Building?" Jia Amnesty looked at Song Xi and asked.

"No need." Song Xi hesitated, but still picked up the spoon and took a sip, "It's not bad."

In the end he ate it all.

But Jia She felt that although his expression was indifferent, he seemed to be enduring the pain, so he couldn't help but ask him how he felt.

Song Xiwen nodded with a smile, expressing good.

Jia Amnesty glanced at him, feeling that there was something wrong with Song Xi, and asked him to say something directly.

Song Xi shook his head and said no.

Jia Amnesty said no more, and wanted to bid him farewell.

Song Xi hurriedly stopped him, and confessed truthfully: "I don't eat coriander."

After Song Xi finished speaking, he glanced at the empty bowl, it was hard to imagine that he just swallowed so much.

Coriander is coriander, which is not commonly used in ancient dishes. It is still a new thing from the Western Regions, and it is considered a feature in this restaurant.Jia Amnesty quite likes coriander, and thinks it improves the taste.

Jia She was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing, and patted Song Xi on the shoulder. "It's hard for you. Next time if you don't like it, just say it. Hiding each other's shortcomings doesn't necessarily make each other get along better. But I still have to say goodbye to you. I have business to do."

Song Xi also smiled, nodded and watched him leave.

After Jia Amnesty got into the car, Zhu Mao drove to the intersection, and the beggar-looking black pig threw a bunch of paper bags into the car.Zhu Mao nodded with him, and then drove away, heading straight to the home of Zuo Wei Qingdong in Caijia Lane in the west of the city.

When Wei Qingdong saw Jia Amnesty coming to the door in person, he was terrified and hurriedly invited him in to take a seat.Jia Amnesty asked Zhu Mao to hand over all the medicinal materials from Baofu Pharmacy that he had just obtained to Wei Qingdong.

"Those pills are mostly made from these medicinal materials. I got them all, you can see if they help." Jia She said.

Wei Qingdong was very pleasantly surprised, "I'm worried about this! I have checked the pills that Lord Yushi gave me many times, and I can still deduce the number of medicines from the symptoms of the medicine, but I don't know which one it is. Sure. It’s a blessing to have these as a reference now. You only need to wait for me for a while, and you will know.”

Jia Amnesty nodded, telling Wei Qingdong to take his time and not to rush.He wandered around the house with his hands behind his back, looking at Wei Qingdong's residence.A square courtyard with five houses, three in the front and two in the back. Seeing that there are towering old trees in the backyard, it should be a good view.The front yard is also tidy, and there are six white porcelain fish tanks in the center of the yard, with small lotus flowers and koi in them.Orchids are placed under the corridor, and there is a small rockery piled up beside the wall. A clump of bamboo grows on the edge of the rockery, and there are stone tables and benches beside it. It is elegant and refreshing.

Seeing that Wei Qingdong was smelling the medicine, Jia Amnesty asked the boy in the yard who came to exchange tea for him, "Is there anyone else in this family?"

The boy shook his head, "It's just our third master. Our master is serving as a prisoner in Shandong, and the second master is also an official there. Right now, only our third master is wandering around in Beijing. We haven't established our family yet, so we live alone like this." So, no one knows how to feel sorry for him."

As the boy spoke, his expression became mournful, tears welling in his eye sockets.Jia She looked at the boy's age, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, probably three or four years younger than Wei Qingdong.On the contrary, I really love Wei Qingdong from the bottom of my heart. It should be that he grew up with him and came to the capital together. The master and servant have a deep relationship, which means sharing weal and woe.

"It stands to reason that your third master should be married when he is old. Why, no one made an engagement for him?"

"Originally there was. I was engaged to a lady from an official family in Shandong. Unexpectedly, the girl fell ill half a year before the wedding. My third master just received a transfer from the government and went to Beijing. The marriage has been delayed forever." The wife is very worried, and she has to send a letter to urge him once a year, but the mountains are high and the road is far away, it is useless for her to worry."

"It seems that your third master is also a person with his own opinions, and your wife dare not make decisions without authorization." Jia She sighed.

"That's right, maybe it's because our wife sees the third master's age is not bad, so she endured it again and again. I guess when the third master reaches the weak crown next year, she will be in a hurry." The boy said worriedly.

Wei Qingdong came out at this time, and stared at the young man with reproachful eyes: "Fule, don't talk nonsense and disturb Lord Yushi."

"No problem, I'm fine." Jia She smiled and asked Wei Qingdong if he had found anything.

Wei Qingdong took out the two packs of medicine and put them on the four-corner high table alone.

"Apart from common cough medicines such as pinellia and licorice in the pills, these two are the most special."

Jia She saw that these two medicines were dry, and the same was a seed shell, which looked familiar, because Jia She had never seen the practice before, but only saw a lot of pictures, and it looked like poppies.Jia Amnesty was not sure about the other thing, because it was broken and out of shape.

"This is marijuana seed, and this is a lotus seed." Wei Qingdong explained.

The two things that Wei Qingdong said were other names for marijuana and poppy in ancient times.

"Isn't it illegal to use this kind of medicine?" Jia She asked.

Wei Qingdong shook his head, "At present, there is no law expressly stipulating that it is illegal to sell or use these two things. And I heard that this kind of thing is secretly popular among many nobles in the south, and eating it is regarded as a kind of wealth. .”

"However, if someone uses this kind of thing to make pills, and they fool me that taking it for a long time can cure my abdominal pain, it can already be regarded as cheating." Jia She said.

"That's true. The decoction of Afulan stalks does have an analgesic effect, but it should not be used too much. And it is mixed with marijuana seeds. If the effect is doubled, one pill is already an overdose. This kind of medicine is bound to be very addictive if taken for a long time. .”

Wei Qingdong said that he divided one pill into [-] portions and fed them to [-] mice respectively. Eighteen of them died immediately, and the remaining two also died within half an hour.Later on, he reduced the dose by [-]% and raised six mice. On the third day, the mice that failed to take the pills on time began to fall into madness and behaved very abnormally. Cage, bitten the mouth.In the end, if he still didn't take the medicine, he would be dying in the cage with no energy and was on the verge of death.

"You said the nobles in the south, can you give me a list." Jia She said.

Wei Qingdong was well aware of the dangers of drugs, and was naturally very happy to hear that Jia She paid attention to it. He hurriedly wrote down the situation of some people he and his father knew to Jia She.

Jia Amnesty confirmed, "Is this medicine ineffective?"

Wei Qingdong froze for a moment, nodded and agreed: "It's definitely not curable."

"Before, in the prison where Qing Qing died in Dali Temple, it was found that the bowl of water in the prison was poisonous. Can you find out what kind of poison it is?"

"Marijuana." Wei Qingdong said.

Jia Amnesty nodded, indicating that he understood.Asking Wei Qingdong to keep today's conversation a secret, Fang left.

After Jia Amnesty returned to Rong Mansion, he wrote to the sub-host where the news network was located according to the source of the list, asking them to start investigating the follow-up situation of these nobles on the list taking drugs.

After the letter was written, Jia Amnesty went to change his name and copied several copies, and felt a little pain in his hand after finishing.He suddenly remembered the matter of asking for cleaners, so he asked Zhu Mao if he could find someone who could help him read and write paperwork.

Zhu Mao hurriedly said with a smile: "Fang Zhenglu was going to talk to you about this today, but it seems that the master and Mr. Song had a good chat, and he didn't feel embarrassed to disturb him. At this moment, he has been sent to the mansion, do you want to see the master now? ?”

"Really reliable?" Jia She asked.

"Reliable, he is a righteous man, he admires "Secrets of Neighbors" very much, and he is also a very loyal person. He can do things for his friends and never complains. If such a person helps the master, he will be treated by someone in the future. Threats and lures, and absolutely will not leak a word of the news."

Jia She frowned: "What kind of coercion is used? It's not so serious. If someone really threatens your life in the future and asks you to confess something about me, just say yes, and I'm fine. Just save your life first." And it is impossible to hide the matter of "Secrets of the Neighbor" for a lifetime, and sooner or later it will be known."

Now that the news network has been successfully deployed, each local branch is slowly developing informants, and will gradually form an intelligence network for collecting news.As long as this is kept secret, there is nothing to be afraid of if the others are leaked out.After all, he is still covered by the emperor, and he also has the official status of the doctor of the imperial censor, so there will not be too much trouble.

Jia Amnesty asked Zhu Mao to lead the man in.He took a sip of tea, looked down and up, Jia She saw a handsome young man with a white face and a sword on his waist entering the door.

This face is more than familiar.

Why is it Liu Xianglian!

He remembered that in the original book it was said that he could not study well, so he liked to play with guns and swords, gamble and drink.

When Liu Xianglian saw Jia Amnesty, she first saluted Jia Amnesty politely, and then said to Zhu Mao with a strange face: "You said that the person who will lead me to "Secrets of the Next Door" is the elder of the Rong Mansion? "

Zhu Mao rolled his eyes, "Our master already knows how to meet scholars." After finishing speaking, he smiled and asked Jia Amnesty and Liu Xianglian to talk slowly, and stepped back first.

Jia Amnesty has doubts about this candidate.

Liu Xianglian didn't look down on Jia She as much as she did back then, looked him carefully, and then bowed to Jia She seriously. Regarding the insulting and satirical remarks he made in the tea shop and on the street, apologized.

"Why do you apologize?" Jia Amnesty asked as he put down his teacup.

"Who in the world doesn't know that your master wisely broke the barbarian Khan's conspiracy, and without a single soldier, he wiped out the arrogance of the barbarians and allowed Da Zhou to win two cities." Liu Xianglian said respectfully.

Jia Amnesty smiled and let him sit down.

So he asked someone to send a random letter and let him see what it meant.Liu Xianglian answered fluently, and then asked him to write a letter.Jia Amnesty looked at it, and found that his literary talent was not bad.

"How did I hear that you don't study well?"

"Since I was a child, my junior has been writing letters on behalf of my father. I don't like to read the Four Books and Five Classics, and I don't want to miss them. But I still have the ability to write letters and communicate a few words with someone." Liu Xianglian said.

Jia Amnesty nodded, and told Liu Xianglian that if she really followed the scholar, she shouldn't drink indiscriminately and spend money gambling everywhere in Liu Mian.Liu Xianglian hurriedly raised her hand and swore that as long as he could do something like "Secrets of the Neighbor" to expose the ugliness and promote righteousness, he would be willing to get rid of those dandies he raised before.

Jia Amnesty said nothing more.

Liu Xianglian waited for a while, then looked around, then stretched her neck curiously and asked Jia Amnesty: "Little Zhu Mao told the junior that the junior was very happy when he had the opportunity to work for "Secrets of the Neighbor". Can you take me to meet the scholar, don't you want me to help him write and read letters? Or...do you want to go to the scholar's printing workshop first and wait?"

"You can write to me and read letters from now on." Jia She raised his eyes to look at him and stated in a flat tone.

Liu Xianglian was puzzled, "Why is it for the master, not for the book..."

Liu Xianglian half-spoken, opened her mouth wide, and looked at Jia Amnesty in astonishment.He couldn't speak for a while, and then he closed his mouth after a while, then hummed twice, and pointed at Jia She.

"Could it be, are you the author of the book?"

After Liu Xianglian finished speaking, Jia She nodded her head.He was so shocked that his jaw dropped, and he quickly covered his mouth with his hands.Then he knelt down and kowtowed to Jia Amnesty.

"The younger generation has eyes that don't know Mount Tai, but back then he uttered wild words to ridicule the master, younger generation..."

"You don't need to be polite, just get up. If you feel sorry, remember to keep your promise and try to keep it a secret from me." Jia She said with a gentle smile.

Seeing Jia She's magnanimity and not caring about her, Liu Xianglian admired him even more, smiled too, and obediently got up from the ground.But he quickly frowned and fell into a look of confusion.He didn't understand why Mr. She belittled himself so much in the first issue of "Secret Stories Next Door" since he was the author of the book.

"It's not demeaning. I was foolish before, and I did a lot of bad things. I just woke up and corrected in time, and it didn't cause any serious mistakes that could be life-threatening." Jia She said.

Liu Xianglian cupped her hands at Jia She with a full face of admiration: "The master recognizes himself, and the prodigal son will not change his money when he returns. This junior really admires him. In the future, the younger generation will definitely learn from the master."

Jia Amnesty couldn't help laughing, thinking that Liu Xianglian was quite interesting.Then he ordered people to arrange a residence for Liu Xianglian in the front yard, and he will live and eat in Rongfu in the future.

Liu Xianglian thanked her again and again, and was about to be reluctant to let go, when the black pig suddenly entered the door.After the black pig saw Liu Xianglian, he was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Jia Amnesty.Jia Amnesty introduced Liu Xianglian's identity to the black pig.For Liu Xianglian's character, Jia Amnesty still recognized it, among other things, at least he was a loyal person.Besides, the secrets of the neighbors are not kept secret right now, so he has nothing to fear.Then let the black pig not have to be taboo, just report something.

"Since the person who followed us appeared last time, the little one has been ordering his subordinates to be quiet. But today that group of people came out again, picking out places with a lot of beggars, and followed a few beggars."

Jia Amnesty: "Take people and teach them a lesson."

When Liu Xianglian heard this, she was busy protecting herself and going to participate bravely.

The black pig looked him up and down, "Look at your white face, and you've cleaned it up quite cleanly. Can you wear dirty clothes?"

"Why not, don't underestimate people!" After Liu Xianglian said that, she threw the sword away, seeing that the room was full of men, she didn't hesitate, and made a gesture to take off her coat.

"Don't take it off here, you've lost your etiquette and offended the master, come with me." After saying that, the black pig jumped out of the door and walked quickly.Liu Xianglian quickly picked up the sword, bowed to Jia Amnesty first, and then hurriedly followed.

"My lord, the case file of Wang Ziteng and Dali Siqing that you wanted was sent by the official department." Zhu Mao presented the things.

Jia Amnesty flipped through the pages and found that both of them had participated in the relief of the Yellow River embankment breach four years ago.Jia Amnesty wrote this down in his notebook.Looking at the people who were with them at the time to help the disaster, there were also the former prince Taibao Jiang Hongli and Ying Tianfu Yin Zuo Zhiqiu.

Jia Amnesty decided to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs another day to check the disaster relief money.

Jia Mu's maid, Glass, came in.

"Today, I received some desserts from the palace given by Concubine Nan'an. The old lady said that this jade paste cake is salty and sweet, which is suitable for the master's taste. She specially asked people to bring this plate for the master." Glass represented After transferring the conversation, he took the Yurong Cake out of the food box and put it on the table.

Jia Amnesty took a look, and it was indeed exquisite and beautiful, so he asked Glass to thank him.

Glass hurriedly saluted, and when she went out, she turned to Dong Sun and said, "The old lady will call the old man over in a while."

Dong Sun's expression turned serious when she heard that, and asked her if something was wrong again.

Glass smiled helplessly: "What else is there, I'm still worried about the eldest girl's marriage. This time it's amazing, Princess Rong from Prince Qi's Mansion asked Princess Nan'an to bring the news."

"What news?" Dongsun asked next.

Glass shook his head, wondering, "But the old lady and the second wife are happy, it's probably very good news."

Dongsun nodded in agreement, gave the glass a reward, and hurried into the house to report to Jia Amnesty.

At this time, Liu Xianglian and Heizhu came back in a hurry.

Jia Amnesty sent Dongsun down first, and asked how the two of them were doing.

"We tripped the horse when we got off the rope, covered the head and beat it hard." The black pig said happily.

But Liu Xianglian showed worry, "It's just a fight, but I heard the man call that he belongs to the third prince, and threatened us to apologize quickly, otherwise he will tell the third prince to execute us."

"We were beaten with our heads covered. Besides, our faces were all covered with ashes. He was said that he couldn't see our faces, so if he saw them, he wouldn't recognize them."

In fact, Zhu Mao really wanted to tell Liu Xianglian that the beating person was also the secret guard sent by the emperor in the palace.Their master is the third prince, and there is someone else whose master is the emperor Laozi.Everyone each other each other!

"Forget it." Liu Xianglian sighed, "Who told him to bully innocent beggars before, he deserves it!"

Jia Amnesty: "You two go wash up and rest, I know about this."

Since he belongs to the third prince, there won't be much trouble.The third prince is still imprisoned in the palace by the emperor at this moment, the reason why he sent someone to investigate the secrets of the neighbor's family is probably because he was unwilling to find out before.

Not long after, Jia Amnesty leaned on the Arhat's couch, flipped through a miscellaneous journal he had just bought, and on the second page, he saw another pair of jade vases brought by a woman, saying that the old lady gave it to her, and it happened to be the same. It is suitable to be placed in Rongxi Hall.

Jia She looked at the pair of jade vases, they were one and a half feet high, the color was even and translucent, they were a pair of valuable items.The old lady asked someone to deliver food and decorations, so she must ask him.

The gift given by the old lady is not easy to return. One is to wipe her face, and the other is to be easily accused of being ungrateful and unfilial.

It's not that Jia Amnesty has no treasures. After thinking about it, he asked someone to send Baoyu the brush wash that Song Xi had given him earlier.Of course, it must be delivered in front of Jia Mu.Giving it to Baoyu is to return the gift to her, and Baoyu must like this thing, so she can't say it back.In short, she will not let her have the idea that 'I have not treated the boss badly, so I can ask the boss arbitrarily'.

Mother Jia was chatting cheerfully with Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang and others in the flower hall, drinking tea and eating snacks sent by Princess Nan'an.Baoyu, Daiyu, Yingchun, etc. were also there, but they had another table in the side room on one side, so they didn't disturb the conversation of the adults.

"Since Concubine Rong has spoken, there is still no suspense. This time the matter will definitely come true. I want to congratulate the old lady and sister first. It is rare that I can meet my niece's marriage when I come to Beijing this time. Looking back Just prepare a congratulatory gift for her to marry." Aunt Xue said with a smile.

Mrs. Wang looked unfazed, and she just smiled faintly, but her heart was full of joy and joy.

Mother Jia smiled from ear to ear, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and said to Mrs. Wang while eating: "This is a double happiness for our family. The boss has been promoted directly to Doctor Yushi and has become a first-rank official. The big girl is about to come back again." Go to Prince Qi's mansion and be promoted to side concubine."

"Extremely true, congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the old lady, later on the children and I need to eat sweets, and borrow the old lady's joy and blessing." Aunt Xue complimented.

Mrs. Wang laughed at her for being too polite, "The matter hasn't been settled yet, but I just asked someone to tell me so. If the time comes, there will be uncertainties. It's better to be more stable."

Mrs. Jia looked at Mrs. Wang meaningfully, and Mrs. Wang also glanced at Mrs. Jia, nodding her head knowingly.Jia's mother immediately understood that Mrs. Wang was not ignorant, she knew that Dowager Rong's sudden change of words was because of Jia's pardon and Gao Shengrong's favor.

"Old lady, the elder thanked you for the pair of jade bottles you gave me, and asked me to bring a pen wash to Second Master Bao."

Jiamu casually glanced at the brush washer, and was held in her hand by her mother-in-law. Seeing that the materials used were just passable and not particularly expensive, she smiled reassuringly, and sent her mother-in-law to send it to Baoyu as soon as possible.After all, it was his uncle's kindness, and it would be good for him to let Baoyu keep it.

When Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue heard about it, they also turned their heads to look at it. They also saw that it was an ordinary object. They thought it was Jia Amnesty who wanted to urge Baoyu to study, so they all agreed with a smile.

Unexpectedly, the woman entered the ear room for a while, and the ear room became lively.Baoyu happily came out of the ear room and rushed to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.Daiyu, Yingchun and others also followed, with envious expressions on their faces.

"What's the matter?" Mother Jia asked.

Baoyu happily held the brush washer in his hand, and carefully showed it to Jiamu, "Uncle gave me a brush washer that Mr. Dongpo used."
