The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber
Chapter 55 Chapter 1 Paparazzi
Jia She would rather think too much.
Since you have chosen him, you should choose to believe in everything about him.Unless one day, he failed to live up to his belief.
Jia She yawned lazily, didn't think much, just said that he was sleepy and wanted to go back to his room to rest.
Song Xi was not willing to let him go easily, and grabbed Jia She's arm, with a strong intention to keep him in his eyes.
"what?"
Jia Amnesty waited for a while, saw that Song Xi had nothing to say, and was about to turn around and leave when Song Xi suddenly pulled him into his arms again.
"I haven't finished my words. I was loyal to myself before, but now, I am loyal to you." Song Xi bit Jia She's ear with her thin lips, "Enhou, think about it, if you really agree to be with me, I'm together, so don't blame me."
Song Xi licked and bit Jia She's earlobe, again and again, then kissed his neck, and then the neck, kissing very quickly and forcefully, like a monster that had been trapped in the desert and dried up for a long time. Only kisses can quench his thirst.
Jia Amnesty was blushed by Song Xi's dense kisses, and his body had an instinctive reaction.He grabbed Song Xi's hand, lowered his head and kissed the back of his hand lightly, his voice a little hoarse.
"Stop it."
Song Xi stopped talking obediently, but hugged Jia She tightly from behind, resting his chin on Jia She's neck.
"If you don't like me, I can still look at you from a distance, suppress my feelings, and just watch you in silence for the rest of my life, and I will be satisfied. But now that you have responded to me, I am both happy and..." Song Xidun "I'm getting deeper and more greedy. Enhou, what should I do? I can't control my selfish desire to possess you. Don't let me down, don't do it."
When Song Xi said the last sentence, there was a sense of begging.
A person like him who is so selfless and proud has never really bowed his head to anyone, not even the father who gave birth to him and raised him, but only to Jia She.
Song Xi tilted his head, eyelashes trembling, kissed Jia She's cheek, stretched out his hand to slowly take off Jia She's shirt from his collar, kissed and bit his shoulder bit by bit.
Jia Amnesty shrank his shoulders and his body trembled.He turned around, cupped Song Xi's face with his hands, and kissed it back fiercely with his eyes downcast.
It's all selfish, it's not surprising who doesn't.
Song Xi was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed with light, and he began to respond to Jia Amnesty presumptuously.
The lips overlap and the tip of the tongue rotates.
Enthusiastic as fire, can't stop.
……
In the end, the sound of "The Fifteenth Prince has arrived" outside the door brought the two of them back to their senses and separated from each other.
Song Xi tidied up Jia She's clothes carefully, and saw that the back of his ears was still pink, so he couldn't help but kissed him again.
The laughter and footsteps of the fifteenth prince came from outside the door, Song Lu also came along with him.
"It's hard to raise a villain." Song Xi sighed helplessly.
The villain Song Xi mentioned simply refers to children.
Seeing his expression of regret for raising a child, Jia Amnesty couldn't help laughing, and advised him not to be impatient, even if no one bothered him, he wouldn't let him continue to make progress.
"Really, I think you were emotional just now." Song Xi hugged Jia She again with a smirk, and blew hot air into Jia She's ear.
The fifteenth prince, Mu Rui, who was outside us, was asking the gatekeeper openly and loudly: "Has your master rested?"
The mother-in-law hurriedly explained: "The master is discussing important matters with Master Jia in the house."
Mu Ruiguo directly rushed to the door and shouted: "Little uncle, can I go in then?"
As soon as Song Lu heard that Jia Amnesty was here, he hurriedly stopped Mu Rui from passing, and wanted to take him to play elsewhere.
Mu Rui refused to pass, and murmured, "I'll follow you later. Since I'm here, I have to pay homage to my elders first."
Song Lu glared at him, knowing that his insistence must be due to his own little calculations in his heart.With a cold snort, I don't care about him anymore, just watch him die.
Mu Ruiguo opened his mouth to shout, but the door opened with a "click", and Song Xi's handsome face was revealed.
Mu Ruiguo immediately laughed, cupped his hands and bowed to Song Xi, then strode into the room, his eyes flicked, and he immediately searched for Jia She who was standing on the left.
Jia She saluted Mu Rui neither humble nor overbearing.
Smiling, Mu Ruiguo hurriedly helped him up, and then with his hands behind his back, his eyes swept up and down Jia Amnesty's body twice.In fact, he himself felt uncomfortable looking at people like this, but he didn't expect Jia She to look calm and not at all uncomfortable.
Could it be that he was thinking too much?
Mu Rui turned around and looked at Song Lu.
Song Lu glared at him again, blaming him for being troublesome.
Mu Ruiguo quickly retracted his gaze, and felt a stern gaze shot over from Song Xi's side, which was not expected.Murui laughed limply, rushed to Song Xi's side, and grabbed his arm.
"Little uncle, I have memorized my books well today, and I was honored by my father to leave the palace. As soon as I heard that, I wanted to come and see you, and I planned to stay here for a night. I just came here to see you, you Say I'm good or not?"
"If you are good, there will be no naughty children in this world." Song Xi only responded lightly, and regardless of what happened to Mu Rui, he just told Song Lu to go back and write poems.
"Okay, I'll do it too. How difficult is it to write poetry?" Mu Ruiguo followed suit.
Song Lu respectfully agreed and asked Song Xi a question.
Song Xi: "Let's take the face of the housekeeper just now as the topic. It's full of artistic conception if you want to put Chen Yan into calligraphy. If you can't write well, don't come to see me."
Song Lu: "..."
Mu Ruiguo: "..."
"I want to take back what I said before." Mu Ruiguo was full of regret. It would be easier for him to just jump into the lake if he had the face of an old nanny and the artistic conception of his words.
"My son knows." Song Lu saluted, and then fell into a deep thought, and began to think about how to write it.
When Mu Rui saw him like this, he curled his lips and thought about it himself, he couldn't be left behind.But when he followed Song Lu a few steps away, he felt that something was wrong, he stopped Song Lu, and then told Jia She and Song Xi that he was hungry.
"Forget it, pass the meal first," Song Xi said.
After dinner, under Mu Ruiguo's insistence, Song Lu was also forced to stay.Mu Ruiguo thought of a poem, so he came to ask Song Xi for his opinion.Song Xi was also patient, and beat him to pieces every time with a few words, so that he had to go back and think about it again.
Jia Amnesty was still at home as usual, leaning on the arhat booth, lazily reading miscellaneous notes, and drinking a few sips of tea occasionally.
Song Xi sat on the other side, using a small yellow pear wood table with short legs on the couch, and wrote the memorial with his words carefully.
After a while, Mu Rui came to harass Song Xi again, Song Xi shook his head and said no.
Murui was still not convinced, so he got serious with him.
Jia Amnesty closed the book, stretched his waist, expressed sleepiness, said goodbye to Song Xi, Mu Ruiguo and Song Lu, and went back to sleep first.
After seeing Jia Amnesty leave, Mu Rui had achieved his goal of making trouble, looked at Song Xi with a smile, and yawned, indicating that he was also sleepy and wanted to sleep.
"Chunxiao can go back, you stay here and finish the poem before leaving."
"Why, my poems are comparable to Chunxiao's, and I think I write better than his artistic conception." Mu Ruiguo watched Song Lu obediently resign, very unconvinced, and reasoned with Song Xi again.
"It has nothing to do with poetry." Song Xi looked at him coldly.
Mu Rui let out an "ah" and immediately realized, pointing to Song Xi: "You really like him! Let me just say, you two embraced each other on the base of the palace wall without avoiding suspicion, it was definitely not by accident .”
Song Xi looked at him indifferently and said nothing.
Mu Ruiguo smiled even more, "Don't worry, I have dealt with your little eunuch in time. But I can't guarantee if anyone else saw it before. If the queen mother finds out about this Now, you should be clear about the consequences. What are you going to do? Why don't you ask me, I'll help you settle it. "
Song Xi smiled slightly, patted the child's head, and said with pity: "Rui Guo, you are so young, what should you do?"
Mu Rui didn't understand. He tilted his head to look at Song Xi, and felt a deep coolness in the other's eyes. He knew that he was meddling in his own business.
Mu Rui felt bad immediately, so he quickly put his hands on his head, and said in a timely manner: "Little uncle, what are you going to do? I'm your nephew, the dignified fifteenth prince! Besides, I'm kind, if it weren't for me, what would happen to me?" That little eunuch, Buqi, has spread the word about you to the whole palace and knows."
"Not this one."
"Ah, you blamed me for spoiling your good deed just now." Mu Ruiguo immediately reacted when he heard the words, "just now... just a joke, do you understand the joke. You are not allowed to revenge me maliciously, just as you said, I was so young, I was still a child."
Song Xi: "Yes."
Mu Ruiguo blinked, with a mournful face, grabbing Song Xi's arm to apologize for his mistake.
Song Xi didn't make a statement in the end, but sent him back to his room early to rest.
The next day, the emperor ordered Mu Ruiguo to copy the book on the grounds that the fifteenth prince was arrogant and mischievous, and he was forbidden to leave the palace within three months.
The person who made the emperor make this decision was Cai Feiping, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace who was temporarily acting as the Taibao.Song Xi didn't participate and said one more word.
But Mu Ruiguo knew very well in his heart that it was his uncle who made the trouble!
Mu Rui was too angry, but Song Xi took his kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, and went to the queen to complain.
"You child, why are you so stupid when it comes to your uncle's affairs. It's fine if you don't go out, just come and spend time with me and the queen mother when you have free time." The queen smiled benevolently.
Mu Ruiguo smiled and beat the queen's leg, and asked, "Mother, I see that my uncle has gotten very close to Mrs. Jia recently. They have similar tastes, and they seem to fit in very well."
The queen blew on the tea and gave a calm "hmm".
"Mother, little uncle hasn't continued, aren't you worried?" Mu Rui asked tentatively.
The queen paused her hands, and glanced sharply at Murui, "When will it be your turn to talk about the elders' affairs. I will put more serious things in my mind, and thanks to your little uncle Take care of us, otherwise..." The queen gave Mu Ruiguo a hard nod on the head, telling him to behave himself.
"I think that Jia She has no talent or morality, and he is not worthy to associate with my little uncle." Mu Rui said with his mouth twisted.
If Jia Amnesty and his little uncle were just friends, Murui Guo actually liked it and didn't object.But if it's that kind of relationship, no matter how much he thinks about it, Mu Rui feels that Jia She is a bit vulgar, and he is not worthy of his little uncle who is like a fairy.
"I guess you know something, so don't say anything more, and go back and think about it yourself. Your uncle's current behavior will be of great benefit to you in the future." After the queen said, she sent Mu Rui back to live. Read a book and warn him not to think about anything else.
Mu Ruiguo nodded solemnly, returned to his bedroom, and closed the door, sitting at the table with a calm face.
……
When eating at noon, Song Xi brought a food box to find Jia Amnesty.
The food catered to Jia She's liking, everything was exquisite, and the taste of the dim sum was even more extraordinary, as soon as you tasted it, you knew it was something from the palace.
Jia Amnesty guessed that Song Xi's queen sister might have ordered the royal chef to make it for him.After eating these exquisite meals, you will definitely feel that the taste is not enough when you go back to eat other things. It will take a few days to get used to it to restore your original appetite.
Speaking of the queen, Jia She thought of the fifteenth prince, "Why do I feel that he seems to see through our relationship, and doesn't like me being with you?"
"He will figure it out. It won't be long before he sticks to you like a plaster." Song Xi put vegetables into Jia Amnesty's bowl with a calm tone, obviously very confident.
"It will be like this?" Jia Amnesty raised his eyebrows and asked Song Xi in doubt.
Song Xi: "This child is not easy to talk to, but when he really cares about someone, he is very clingy."
"Then it will have to wait for three months, and he won't be able to leave the palace for nearly three months." Jia Amnesty sighed with relief, thinking that he should cherish the days when he was not harassed by bullies.
Song Xi glanced at Jia Amnesty with a smile, and gave him another dish.
After the formal meal, he stopped talking.
After Jia Amnesty finished his meal and sent Song Xi away, he heard that Mother Jia had sent a message, saying that Concubine Rong had left the Rong Mansion this morning.
In the evening, Jia Amnesty went back directly to the Rong Mansion. After all, at the end of the year, there were many things in the Rong Mansion, and there were a few things that required him to make a decision.
Jia Amnesty thought of Jia Lian on the way, so he asked.
Mrs. Yin said: "The past two days have been bored at home, and I haven't gone out."
Jia Amnesty let out a "hmm" and went to care about Jia Cong again, asking the nanny how he was doing recently.
Jia Amnesty found two literate wives for Jia Cong before. While taking care of him, he let him learn to read and write half-learned and half-playing, in order to let Jia Cong grow up under the influence of the scholarly atmosphere as much as possible.
The child was young and hadn't developed any temperament yet, so with a little careful education, Jia Cong formed a good habit.Work and rest regularly in the morning and evening, usually play some educational games such as Jiulianhuan and Lubansuo, and then follow the mother-in-law to recite the three-character scriptures.Now I am very polite. I know how to greet my elders when I see them, and I know how to read a few words after reading a book.
There are also many contributions to welcoming the spring here.
After Jia She asked Yingchun to follow Wang Xifeng as housekeeper, Yingchun's temperament became a little bit smarter than before.I don't know if she figured it out on her own, or if Wang Xifeng suggested it to her. In short, since the second month of her learning to be a housekeeper, Yingchun would often come to play with Jia Cong and teach him to read the Three Character Classic.
Jia Cong and Yingchun were still friends at first, but now they are very familiar with each other, and almost every day they say "second sister" a few times.
Jia Amnesty carried the well-behaved Jia Cong to the Arhat couch. He sat down, took the Jiulianhuan sent by Jia Cong, and helped Jia Cong solve it.Jia Cong, on the other hand, was wearing a blue jacket, leaning chubby beside Jia She, staring at Jia She's hand.
After Yingchun finished her work with Wang Xifeng, she took Daiyu by the hand and came to Jia Cong.She begged Jia Cong to leave with Jia She, saying that she had promised to teach Jia Cong how to paint.
"How old is he, what can he draw?" Jia She asked with a smile.
"What are you afraid of when you are young, the key is in your heart, right?" Yingchun turned to look at Daiyu.
Daiyu nodded with a smile, she was right, she said it before when teaching Yingchun painting.But for a child who is not yet four years old, it may be slightly worse.
"The third brother needs to practice a lot since he was a child, and when he grows up, he will be able to write with the help of a god, and he will not be like me now. It will be difficult to improve."
"It's good to learn to play, don't push him past." Jia Amnesty nodded and instructed again.
Yingchun hurriedly promised that he would not, so he smiled and stretched out his hand to greet Jia Cong, and asked him to ask himself if it would be good to learn to paint.
"Okay, okay, Cong'er wants to draw Daddy." Jia Cong happily patted the chubby hand, then gave Jia She an admiring glance, bowed obediently, and followed the sisters on his short legs.
"The third master is getting more and more polite. When the second master Lian was his age, he couldn't even read the three-character scriptures. But he has already memorized it by heart, and he will be promising in the future." Mrs. Yin sighed.
Jia Lian, who was about to enter the door to greet him outside the door, was startled when he heard this.
The maid who delivered the message was distracted by the cuteness of Third Master Cong who had just left.At this moment, seeing that the second master Lian had walked to the door at some point, he hurriedly sent a message to go in.
Jia Amnesty was saying to Mrs. Yin: "Don't expect him to be very successful. When he grows up, he just needs to be educated and courteous. Don't discriminate between right and wrong. Just be a lecherous jerk."
When Jia Lian heard the words "lustful bastard", his face became hot. Even if the master didn't name him, he still felt as if he had been slapped on the face.
After Jia Lian saluted sullenly and greeted him, he was about to leave in a daze.
Jia Amnesty didn't make things difficult for him and let him go.
In the past, Jia Lian might still feel relieved, but today, he was very disappointed.His father didn't even say a word of reprimand to him, is he really disappointed in him?
And look at his attitude towards Jia Cong, a bastard, is it worth his care.
Jia Lian shivered and suddenly remembered a sentence he had heard before.Could it be that the master really intends to raise Jia Cong as his son?After turning back and continuing, Jia Cong will be adopted under the name of his stepmother and counted as his son?
Although the status of his son-in-law is unshakable, if Wang Xifeng has no heirs and the master looks down on him, then his position in the big house will be in jeopardy in the future.
The more Jia Lian thought about it, the more he felt a sense of crisis, and clenched his fists anxiously, circling back and forth outside Rongxi Hall.
After Zhang Nan was full, he was about to go to the garden to practice kung fu with a big knife. He happened to see Jia Lian's distressed look, so he hurried to ask him what was wrong.
Seeing that it was his own uncle, Jia Lian grabbed his arm and talked about his worries.
Zhang Nan shook his head, "Brother-in-law is not that kind of person, it is impossible for a concubine to take the place of you as a concubine."
"I can't, but it seems that he cares so much about my third brother now, but he cares about me..." Jia Lian sighed, shook his head, and squatted on the ground sighing in anger.
Zhang Nan also knelt down beside him, hesitated for a while, and then said to him: "Don't blame uncle for talking too much, you have some problems that should be corrected, and even if you can't, you should restrain yourself. You are famous for making troubles Yes, don't say your father is such a big official, I'll be ashamed of you after hearing that."
Jia Lian stared at the ground in embarrassment, not daring to look at Zhang Nan, "Is it as serious as you said?"
"Of course. You said that you are a big man, and you have not yet gone into battle to kill the enemy. You are so useless because of such petty things in the family every day. You can't control the thing in your crotch? Do you have to?" Only by seeing a woman take it out for a walk can you show your ability?" Zhang Nan asked a little excitedly.
Jia Lian blushed, drooping her head so ashamed to look up.Fortunately, under the darkness, the other party could not see his expression, otherwise he would really die of embarrassment.
This lecherous problem was mentioned by his father and daughter-in-law in the past, at least he was ashamed in front of his own family, and he didn't feel much of it after being ashamed.Now this layman uncle has only lived in Rong Mansion for a long time, and everyone said that he is lustful, and he is really ashamed.
"I also kindly remind you because of the close relationship between us. If you change someone else's offending words, you will definitely not be able to say it. Just watch the fun with a cold eye, so you really have to listen!" Zhang Nan patted Jia Lian on the shoulder, Let him wake up for a while, then lamented that his poor sister left early, then got up and patted his sore legs, and left neatly.
Jia Lian then went back to the room in embarrassment, and sat beside Wang Xifeng in a muffled voice without speaking.Wang Xifeng turned to look at him puzzled, but Jia Lian remained silent.
Wang Xifeng thought that Jia Lian still wanted to play sex and was too lazy to talk to him, so she asked Shang Ping'er to hide from him in the west wing.Jia Lian hurriedly reached out to grab Wang Xifeng, begged her to stay, and then told her what happened to her in Rongxi Hall.
"I don't believe that the master can still ignore you after you have corrected your problems. Even now he treats you very well. You said where did you get your motivation in the first half of the year? Didn't he encourage you to come here?" Wang Xifeng Nodding Jia Lian's forehead, "It's not that I'm trying to scare you. Now our master has realized somehow. He has a deep mind and discerning eyes. It's useless for you to pretend to be him, and you will be in vain. I advise you , I changed your problem from the root, the master must like you before it's too late. Just look at how he treats brother Cong now? You are a son of the eldest son, if you are more sensible than him, the master will love you more than him."
Jia Lian now listened to Wang Xifeng's words and felt that it was very reasonable. The resentment in his heart was relieved a lot, and he became more motivated, holding Wang Xifeng's hand and swearing that he would try his best to restrain himself and get rid of his faults.
Wang Xifeng looked at Ping'er and said with a smile: "Second Master is really cruel?"
"really!"
"Then the two of us will watch you closely from now on, and won't let you go for a moment." Wang Xifeng said.
Jia Lian hurriedly said that she couldn't ask for it.
The next day he started to help Wang Xifeng and Zhang Luorong's mansion with the New Year's affairs, running in and out, working hard.
And Chunliu, who was already preparing to get engaged after the next year, was still unwilling after all, so she gave away one of her most precious jewellery, and asked someone to talk to Jia Lian, hoping that he would be willing to meet her.Chunliu believed that with her good looks, as long as she could see Second Master Lian, she would be able to keep Second Master Lian's body and raise her as a concubine.
Chunliu has already made up her mind, although the outer room has no status, but at least under the protection of Lian Erye, she will live a life of rich clothes and fine food.When she was able to live up to her expectations and gave birth to a boy, Second Mistress Lian, who hadn't even given birth to a single hair, had to invite her back to Rong Mansion to be an aunt even if her eyelids were swollen from crying unwillingly.
After Jia Lian received the hint, he was very tempted, ran to excuse a few words with Wang Xifeng, and went out excitedly.But not long after he went out, he hesitated and circled around again.Later, when he saw his father's carriage approaching, Jia Lian hurried to see him.Turning to see his father's calm and handsome face, Jia Lian couldn't help feeling ashamed, and didn't go anywhere, so he followed Jia She back home.
Afterwards, Wang Xifeng learned that Chunliu dared to seduce Jia Lian with a private message, and his jealousy immediately rose.In the past, such a little bastard would definitely make a scene all over the city, ruining her reputation, and if she wasn't forced to commit suicide, she would have to find someone else to marry.
Because of Ping'er's persuasion, she also understood the benevolence of the master when he sent Chunliu out, so she didn't make a big deal out of it.They only sent Ping'er and two wives to Chunliu's house to make a fuss. They grabbed Chunliu's hair, stripped off her clothes, beat her up, and warned her that if she dared to think about anything in the future, she would tell her family to live in the capital. No face to face anyone.
After Chunliu's parents found out about this, the whole family wept and knelt down to apologize.After Ping'er took the people away, he scolded Chunliu severely.Don't wait for a few years, just make an engagement, and marry her out of the capital to farm as soon as possible, completely eradicating her unreasonable thoughts.
……
In the blink of an eye, the new year came out.
"Secrets Next Door" began to prepare for the tenth issue step by step.Li Xia was rushing to work every day, and finally submitted the special stamp of the new version of the story next door to Jia Amnesty for review.
Seeing that the pattern of this seal was more complicated than the previous one, Jia Amnesty was very satisfied and rewarded Li Xia immediately.Let him rest for a while, and spend time with his younger siblings.
Jia Amnesty immediately discussed with Fang Zhenglu the content of the tenth draft.
Song Xi came, and he also brought news that the tenth issue of the fake "Secrets Next Door" will be listed.
"Tell me more specifically," Jia She said.
"The book has already been printed in Moxiangfang, and it will start in the middle of the night, and it will be presided over by the second head of Moxiangfang. The big head doesn't seem to know about it."
Jia Amnesty remembered that Moxiangfang was an ancestral property, and it was controlled by the two brothers in this generation.The eldest is the head of the family and takes the main responsibility, while the second will assist from the side.It seems that this is a dispute between brothers, and the second child is not convinced and has been unable to take power, so he took over the crooked job.
"What about the contents of the book, who wrote it?"
Song Xi handed Jia She the unframed sample booklet and shook his head.
Jia Amnesty stopped talking, just lowered his head and quietly flipped through the tenth issue of the pirated version of "Secret Stories Next Door" in his hand.
It is difficult to paint the bones when painting a tiger.
The self-edited content in this pirated book is completely imitating the seventh issue of "Secret Stories Next Door".I talked about something similar to the Fang Qin incident, but there are many imprecise words and a lot of subjective assumptions, and the information provided by the anonymous informant seems to have been made up by myself, because all the interviewees used words. They all look the same.
The well-known upright official revealed in the pirated book is higher than Fang Qin in terms of identity. The name of an upright official is not as good as Fang Qin, but his reputation for impartiality and impartiality is higher than Fang Qin.The book said that this man, like Fang Qin, was a villain who earned his reputation and forced three wives to death one after another, making him "Fang Qin's second".
This "wife abuser" adult is Liu Zhongliang, the servant of the household department.
Jia Amnesty was drinking tea, and when he read the content, he finally stated that it was Liu Zhongliang, and almost spit out the tea in his mouth.
As an imperial envoy, Liu Zhongliang was completely negligent of the case of King Jin's treason by fraudulent disaster and conspiracy, and was regarded as a big mistake.Now that this matter is brought up, some people will say that Liu Zhongliang is incompetent.
If the pirated "My Neighbor's Secret" revealed that Liu Zhongliang abused his wife, and he had committed a well-known mistake before, people who don't know the truth will be easily fooled by the content of the book, and there will be condemnation everywhere.
It is estimated that even if the piracy announcement was released before the sea is inclusive, the things revealed in this book will attract widespread attention.
"Since that's the case, you little ones are going to blow up that Moxiangfang!" Zhu Mao yelled.
Song Xi looked at Jia She.
Jia She waved his hand to tell Zhu Mao not to be impulsive, "Catch a bunch of thieves, and now I haven't found out who the writers are, and I don't know how they sell them. It's better to wait for the book to be published and then sell it again, just to kill chickens and monkeys. Public warning, to avoid similar theft incidents in the future.”
Song Xi responded lightly: "That's exactly the truth."
Seeing that the two masters said so, Zhu Mao knew that he was short-sighted and thoughtless.Scratching his head guiltily to apologize for his mistake, when he turned his head and followed Fang Zhenglu and Hei Zhu out, he twitched himself, blaming himself for being stupid.
Fang Zhenglu smiled: "You, don't even think about what kind of scheming figures Master and Master Song are. They can always think of many things that we can't think of, and we don't need to worry about it at all. Remember it in the future, and bear with it if you have something to say. Look, Master and Master Song's way of handling things is always ten thousand times better than our own thinking."
"Yes, yes, I have a long memory." Zhu Mao hammered his head and laughed.Instead, he raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction of the door, and smiled happily.Ever since he witnessed Mr. Song hugging his master that night, Zhu Mao has found more and more that Mr. Song and their master are a good match.
The black pig looked closely at Pig Mao, pointed to his face, and asked Fang Zhenglu, "Why is he blushing?"
Fangzheng Lu Siwen shook his head with a smile, expressing his ignorance.
"Hey!" the black pig shouted into his ear.
Zhu Mao was startled, and immediately pushed the black pig, blaming him for scaring him.
"What spring?"
"What are you doing, anyway, I know one more good thing than you, hehe." Zhu Mao shook his head proudly, and happily went downstairs.
Fangzhenglu and Heizhu looked at each other, feeling puzzled.
inside the house.
Jia Amnesty began to organize the manuscript.
It just so happened that Jia Amnesty had long wanted to write about a loyal minister in the next issue of "Secret Stories Next Door", and one of the candidates was Liu Zhongliang.Therefore, regarding Liu Zhongliang's family background and all the good things he has done to benefit the country and the people, Jia Amnesty has already prepared everything.Now he only needs to rearrange the so-called things in the pirated books in a targeted manner, and the work is completed.
Because the whole article is just praise, and it doesn't involve the issue of retaliation for scandals.All anonymous interviews have been changed to real names, and the time, place and people of all related events are real.There is no pseudonym, everything is well-founded, can be checked and confirmed, and is irrefutable.
Jia Amnesty asked Song Xi to go through the manuscript, and after being told that it was impeccable, he immediately gave orders to his subordinates to make the printing workshop rush to print it overnight.
Make sure to prepare early, just wait for the pirated book to be published, and his real version will also be published, and he will be slapped in the face immediately.
……
Three days later, the tenth issue of the pirated version of "Secrets of the Neighbors" with two thousand framed copies of self-edited content appeared on the market.Different from the secret selling method of piracy last time, this time they boldly changed to open selling.
The book was sold by a well-known local ruffian named Hu Laosan in the capital.
Hu Laosan has a lot of slaves under him, he can be regarded as an old hooligan entrenched in the ferry area of the capital, with some roots.
At the beginning, he relied on the water transportation from the Ministry of Households to expand his family business, and then expanded his business and opened a book store.Now pirated books are sold in his bookshop, and he also openly claimed that he has a connection with the author of the book, and he has a chivalrous heart, unlike some bookstore bosses who have no conscience to extort money from others.He does not seek huge profits, and only sells "Secrets of Neighbors" at a low price, in order to carry forward the righteous heart of the author.
Hu Laosan also said that it is not an industry under the name of the author.In fact, just like Linjiaxuan, Haina Baichuan only buys books entrusted by book masters.However, the boss who is open to all people is also like Jia She, a greedy person who loves money too much, so the author of the book now contacts him instead.He also said that the boss who is inclusive of all rivers and rivers was not convinced because he lost his business, so he put up the pirated version announcement, but in fact there was no pirated version at all.
The real situation is: starting from the next year, the new issue of "My Neighbor's Secret" will be officially sold by him, Hu Laosan.
As soon as this news broke out, it quickly exploded among literati, inkmen, and playboys.
Some people believe it, some people don't.
But since Hu Laosan dared to speak out so openly, the doubts in everyone's hearts became smaller and smaller, and most people began to believe that the book writer had changed the sales method again.After all, the sales location of "Secrets of the Neighborhood" has been changed from the Neighborhood Pavilion to the sea, and it is not impossible to change it again.
Furthermore, some people in the market have long been dissatisfied with the high price of "Secrets of the Neighbors", but they suddenly heard that "Secrets of the Neighbors" was changed to a lower price in line with public opinion, and the response was enthusiastic and supportive.Many literati who are poor in their pockets and do not want to spend more money but also want to save face, have echoed the high price of "Secrets of Neighbors" which was not the original intention of the author.
"...After all, what the author wrote in the book is to expose the ugliness of officials and promote justice. How can a righteous person like the author sell high-priced books to blatantly extort money. I think Only those high-priced books are priced greedily by the book shop owner.
Hu Laosan's words are believable, the "Secrets of the Neighbors" in five hundred copies is the real "Secrets of the Neighbors"! "
Words like this spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital in just one morning.As a result, more and more people flocked to Hu Laosan's bookshop and paid for his "Secrets of Neighbors".
After Fang Zhenglu heard the news from the black pig, a lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.The current situation reminded him of the pain he felt when he was wronged and killed when he was framed for murder. He blushed with anger, his neck was thick, and the veins on his forehead burst out.
"God damn bastard, not to mention profiting from printing our books, he turned into a mangy dog and bit us back."
"Being able to steal texts is not a good thing in itself. If you say they are mangy dogs, you are praising them. I think they are worse than dogs." The black pig spat angrily, cursing them for retribution.
"Master, I can't let go of that Moxiangfang, let alone Hu Laosan!" Fang Zhenglu gritted his teeth.
Black Pig and Pig Hair also nodded in agreement with righteous indignation.
Since you have chosen him, you should choose to believe in everything about him.Unless one day, he failed to live up to his belief.
Jia She yawned lazily, didn't think much, just said that he was sleepy and wanted to go back to his room to rest.
Song Xi was not willing to let him go easily, and grabbed Jia She's arm, with a strong intention to keep him in his eyes.
"what?"
Jia Amnesty waited for a while, saw that Song Xi had nothing to say, and was about to turn around and leave when Song Xi suddenly pulled him into his arms again.
"I haven't finished my words. I was loyal to myself before, but now, I am loyal to you." Song Xi bit Jia She's ear with her thin lips, "Enhou, think about it, if you really agree to be with me, I'm together, so don't blame me."
Song Xi licked and bit Jia She's earlobe, again and again, then kissed his neck, and then the neck, kissing very quickly and forcefully, like a monster that had been trapped in the desert and dried up for a long time. Only kisses can quench his thirst.
Jia Amnesty was blushed by Song Xi's dense kisses, and his body had an instinctive reaction.He grabbed Song Xi's hand, lowered his head and kissed the back of his hand lightly, his voice a little hoarse.
"Stop it."
Song Xi stopped talking obediently, but hugged Jia She tightly from behind, resting his chin on Jia She's neck.
"If you don't like me, I can still look at you from a distance, suppress my feelings, and just watch you in silence for the rest of my life, and I will be satisfied. But now that you have responded to me, I am both happy and..." Song Xidun "I'm getting deeper and more greedy. Enhou, what should I do? I can't control my selfish desire to possess you. Don't let me down, don't do it."
When Song Xi said the last sentence, there was a sense of begging.
A person like him who is so selfless and proud has never really bowed his head to anyone, not even the father who gave birth to him and raised him, but only to Jia She.
Song Xi tilted his head, eyelashes trembling, kissed Jia She's cheek, stretched out his hand to slowly take off Jia She's shirt from his collar, kissed and bit his shoulder bit by bit.
Jia Amnesty shrank his shoulders and his body trembled.He turned around, cupped Song Xi's face with his hands, and kissed it back fiercely with his eyes downcast.
It's all selfish, it's not surprising who doesn't.
Song Xi was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed with light, and he began to respond to Jia Amnesty presumptuously.
The lips overlap and the tip of the tongue rotates.
Enthusiastic as fire, can't stop.
……
In the end, the sound of "The Fifteenth Prince has arrived" outside the door brought the two of them back to their senses and separated from each other.
Song Xi tidied up Jia She's clothes carefully, and saw that the back of his ears was still pink, so he couldn't help but kissed him again.
The laughter and footsteps of the fifteenth prince came from outside the door, Song Lu also came along with him.
"It's hard to raise a villain." Song Xi sighed helplessly.
The villain Song Xi mentioned simply refers to children.
Seeing his expression of regret for raising a child, Jia Amnesty couldn't help laughing, and advised him not to be impatient, even if no one bothered him, he wouldn't let him continue to make progress.
"Really, I think you were emotional just now." Song Xi hugged Jia She again with a smirk, and blew hot air into Jia She's ear.
The fifteenth prince, Mu Rui, who was outside us, was asking the gatekeeper openly and loudly: "Has your master rested?"
The mother-in-law hurriedly explained: "The master is discussing important matters with Master Jia in the house."
Mu Ruiguo directly rushed to the door and shouted: "Little uncle, can I go in then?"
As soon as Song Lu heard that Jia Amnesty was here, he hurriedly stopped Mu Rui from passing, and wanted to take him to play elsewhere.
Mu Rui refused to pass, and murmured, "I'll follow you later. Since I'm here, I have to pay homage to my elders first."
Song Lu glared at him, knowing that his insistence must be due to his own little calculations in his heart.With a cold snort, I don't care about him anymore, just watch him die.
Mu Ruiguo opened his mouth to shout, but the door opened with a "click", and Song Xi's handsome face was revealed.
Mu Ruiguo immediately laughed, cupped his hands and bowed to Song Xi, then strode into the room, his eyes flicked, and he immediately searched for Jia She who was standing on the left.
Jia She saluted Mu Rui neither humble nor overbearing.
Smiling, Mu Ruiguo hurriedly helped him up, and then with his hands behind his back, his eyes swept up and down Jia Amnesty's body twice.In fact, he himself felt uncomfortable looking at people like this, but he didn't expect Jia She to look calm and not at all uncomfortable.
Could it be that he was thinking too much?
Mu Rui turned around and looked at Song Lu.
Song Lu glared at him again, blaming him for being troublesome.
Mu Ruiguo quickly retracted his gaze, and felt a stern gaze shot over from Song Xi's side, which was not expected.Murui laughed limply, rushed to Song Xi's side, and grabbed his arm.
"Little uncle, I have memorized my books well today, and I was honored by my father to leave the palace. As soon as I heard that, I wanted to come and see you, and I planned to stay here for a night. I just came here to see you, you Say I'm good or not?"
"If you are good, there will be no naughty children in this world." Song Xi only responded lightly, and regardless of what happened to Mu Rui, he just told Song Lu to go back and write poems.
"Okay, I'll do it too. How difficult is it to write poetry?" Mu Ruiguo followed suit.
Song Lu respectfully agreed and asked Song Xi a question.
Song Xi: "Let's take the face of the housekeeper just now as the topic. It's full of artistic conception if you want to put Chen Yan into calligraphy. If you can't write well, don't come to see me."
Song Lu: "..."
Mu Ruiguo: "..."
"I want to take back what I said before." Mu Ruiguo was full of regret. It would be easier for him to just jump into the lake if he had the face of an old nanny and the artistic conception of his words.
"My son knows." Song Lu saluted, and then fell into a deep thought, and began to think about how to write it.
When Mu Rui saw him like this, he curled his lips and thought about it himself, he couldn't be left behind.But when he followed Song Lu a few steps away, he felt that something was wrong, he stopped Song Lu, and then told Jia She and Song Xi that he was hungry.
"Forget it, pass the meal first," Song Xi said.
After dinner, under Mu Ruiguo's insistence, Song Lu was also forced to stay.Mu Ruiguo thought of a poem, so he came to ask Song Xi for his opinion.Song Xi was also patient, and beat him to pieces every time with a few words, so that he had to go back and think about it again.
Jia Amnesty was still at home as usual, leaning on the arhat booth, lazily reading miscellaneous notes, and drinking a few sips of tea occasionally.
Song Xi sat on the other side, using a small yellow pear wood table with short legs on the couch, and wrote the memorial with his words carefully.
After a while, Mu Rui came to harass Song Xi again, Song Xi shook his head and said no.
Murui was still not convinced, so he got serious with him.
Jia Amnesty closed the book, stretched his waist, expressed sleepiness, said goodbye to Song Xi, Mu Ruiguo and Song Lu, and went back to sleep first.
After seeing Jia Amnesty leave, Mu Rui had achieved his goal of making trouble, looked at Song Xi with a smile, and yawned, indicating that he was also sleepy and wanted to sleep.
"Chunxiao can go back, you stay here and finish the poem before leaving."
"Why, my poems are comparable to Chunxiao's, and I think I write better than his artistic conception." Mu Ruiguo watched Song Lu obediently resign, very unconvinced, and reasoned with Song Xi again.
"It has nothing to do with poetry." Song Xi looked at him coldly.
Mu Rui let out an "ah" and immediately realized, pointing to Song Xi: "You really like him! Let me just say, you two embraced each other on the base of the palace wall without avoiding suspicion, it was definitely not by accident .”
Song Xi looked at him indifferently and said nothing.
Mu Ruiguo smiled even more, "Don't worry, I have dealt with your little eunuch in time. But I can't guarantee if anyone else saw it before. If the queen mother finds out about this Now, you should be clear about the consequences. What are you going to do? Why don't you ask me, I'll help you settle it. "
Song Xi smiled slightly, patted the child's head, and said with pity: "Rui Guo, you are so young, what should you do?"
Mu Rui didn't understand. He tilted his head to look at Song Xi, and felt a deep coolness in the other's eyes. He knew that he was meddling in his own business.
Mu Rui felt bad immediately, so he quickly put his hands on his head, and said in a timely manner: "Little uncle, what are you going to do? I'm your nephew, the dignified fifteenth prince! Besides, I'm kind, if it weren't for me, what would happen to me?" That little eunuch, Buqi, has spread the word about you to the whole palace and knows."
"Not this one."
"Ah, you blamed me for spoiling your good deed just now." Mu Ruiguo immediately reacted when he heard the words, "just now... just a joke, do you understand the joke. You are not allowed to revenge me maliciously, just as you said, I was so young, I was still a child."
Song Xi: "Yes."
Mu Ruiguo blinked, with a mournful face, grabbing Song Xi's arm to apologize for his mistake.
Song Xi didn't make a statement in the end, but sent him back to his room early to rest.
The next day, the emperor ordered Mu Ruiguo to copy the book on the grounds that the fifteenth prince was arrogant and mischievous, and he was forbidden to leave the palace within three months.
The person who made the emperor make this decision was Cai Feiping, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace who was temporarily acting as the Taibao.Song Xi didn't participate and said one more word.
But Mu Ruiguo knew very well in his heart that it was his uncle who made the trouble!
Mu Rui was too angry, but Song Xi took his kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, and went to the queen to complain.
"You child, why are you so stupid when it comes to your uncle's affairs. It's fine if you don't go out, just come and spend time with me and the queen mother when you have free time." The queen smiled benevolently.
Mu Ruiguo smiled and beat the queen's leg, and asked, "Mother, I see that my uncle has gotten very close to Mrs. Jia recently. They have similar tastes, and they seem to fit in very well."
The queen blew on the tea and gave a calm "hmm".
"Mother, little uncle hasn't continued, aren't you worried?" Mu Rui asked tentatively.
The queen paused her hands, and glanced sharply at Murui, "When will it be your turn to talk about the elders' affairs. I will put more serious things in my mind, and thanks to your little uncle Take care of us, otherwise..." The queen gave Mu Ruiguo a hard nod on the head, telling him to behave himself.
"I think that Jia She has no talent or morality, and he is not worthy to associate with my little uncle." Mu Rui said with his mouth twisted.
If Jia Amnesty and his little uncle were just friends, Murui Guo actually liked it and didn't object.But if it's that kind of relationship, no matter how much he thinks about it, Mu Rui feels that Jia She is a bit vulgar, and he is not worthy of his little uncle who is like a fairy.
"I guess you know something, so don't say anything more, and go back and think about it yourself. Your uncle's current behavior will be of great benefit to you in the future." After the queen said, she sent Mu Rui back to live. Read a book and warn him not to think about anything else.
Mu Ruiguo nodded solemnly, returned to his bedroom, and closed the door, sitting at the table with a calm face.
……
When eating at noon, Song Xi brought a food box to find Jia Amnesty.
The food catered to Jia She's liking, everything was exquisite, and the taste of the dim sum was even more extraordinary, as soon as you tasted it, you knew it was something from the palace.
Jia Amnesty guessed that Song Xi's queen sister might have ordered the royal chef to make it for him.After eating these exquisite meals, you will definitely feel that the taste is not enough when you go back to eat other things. It will take a few days to get used to it to restore your original appetite.
Speaking of the queen, Jia She thought of the fifteenth prince, "Why do I feel that he seems to see through our relationship, and doesn't like me being with you?"
"He will figure it out. It won't be long before he sticks to you like a plaster." Song Xi put vegetables into Jia Amnesty's bowl with a calm tone, obviously very confident.
"It will be like this?" Jia Amnesty raised his eyebrows and asked Song Xi in doubt.
Song Xi: "This child is not easy to talk to, but when he really cares about someone, he is very clingy."
"Then it will have to wait for three months, and he won't be able to leave the palace for nearly three months." Jia Amnesty sighed with relief, thinking that he should cherish the days when he was not harassed by bullies.
Song Xi glanced at Jia Amnesty with a smile, and gave him another dish.
After the formal meal, he stopped talking.
After Jia Amnesty finished his meal and sent Song Xi away, he heard that Mother Jia had sent a message, saying that Concubine Rong had left the Rong Mansion this morning.
In the evening, Jia Amnesty went back directly to the Rong Mansion. After all, at the end of the year, there were many things in the Rong Mansion, and there were a few things that required him to make a decision.
Jia Amnesty thought of Jia Lian on the way, so he asked.
Mrs. Yin said: "The past two days have been bored at home, and I haven't gone out."
Jia Amnesty let out a "hmm" and went to care about Jia Cong again, asking the nanny how he was doing recently.
Jia Amnesty found two literate wives for Jia Cong before. While taking care of him, he let him learn to read and write half-learned and half-playing, in order to let Jia Cong grow up under the influence of the scholarly atmosphere as much as possible.
The child was young and hadn't developed any temperament yet, so with a little careful education, Jia Cong formed a good habit.Work and rest regularly in the morning and evening, usually play some educational games such as Jiulianhuan and Lubansuo, and then follow the mother-in-law to recite the three-character scriptures.Now I am very polite. I know how to greet my elders when I see them, and I know how to read a few words after reading a book.
There are also many contributions to welcoming the spring here.
After Jia She asked Yingchun to follow Wang Xifeng as housekeeper, Yingchun's temperament became a little bit smarter than before.I don't know if she figured it out on her own, or if Wang Xifeng suggested it to her. In short, since the second month of her learning to be a housekeeper, Yingchun would often come to play with Jia Cong and teach him to read the Three Character Classic.
Jia Cong and Yingchun were still friends at first, but now they are very familiar with each other, and almost every day they say "second sister" a few times.
Jia Amnesty carried the well-behaved Jia Cong to the Arhat couch. He sat down, took the Jiulianhuan sent by Jia Cong, and helped Jia Cong solve it.Jia Cong, on the other hand, was wearing a blue jacket, leaning chubby beside Jia She, staring at Jia She's hand.
After Yingchun finished her work with Wang Xifeng, she took Daiyu by the hand and came to Jia Cong.She begged Jia Cong to leave with Jia She, saying that she had promised to teach Jia Cong how to paint.
"How old is he, what can he draw?" Jia She asked with a smile.
"What are you afraid of when you are young, the key is in your heart, right?" Yingchun turned to look at Daiyu.
Daiyu nodded with a smile, she was right, she said it before when teaching Yingchun painting.But for a child who is not yet four years old, it may be slightly worse.
"The third brother needs to practice a lot since he was a child, and when he grows up, he will be able to write with the help of a god, and he will not be like me now. It will be difficult to improve."
"It's good to learn to play, don't push him past." Jia Amnesty nodded and instructed again.
Yingchun hurriedly promised that he would not, so he smiled and stretched out his hand to greet Jia Cong, and asked him to ask himself if it would be good to learn to paint.
"Okay, okay, Cong'er wants to draw Daddy." Jia Cong happily patted the chubby hand, then gave Jia She an admiring glance, bowed obediently, and followed the sisters on his short legs.
"The third master is getting more and more polite. When the second master Lian was his age, he couldn't even read the three-character scriptures. But he has already memorized it by heart, and he will be promising in the future." Mrs. Yin sighed.
Jia Lian, who was about to enter the door to greet him outside the door, was startled when he heard this.
The maid who delivered the message was distracted by the cuteness of Third Master Cong who had just left.At this moment, seeing that the second master Lian had walked to the door at some point, he hurriedly sent a message to go in.
Jia Amnesty was saying to Mrs. Yin: "Don't expect him to be very successful. When he grows up, he just needs to be educated and courteous. Don't discriminate between right and wrong. Just be a lecherous jerk."
When Jia Lian heard the words "lustful bastard", his face became hot. Even if the master didn't name him, he still felt as if he had been slapped on the face.
After Jia Lian saluted sullenly and greeted him, he was about to leave in a daze.
Jia Amnesty didn't make things difficult for him and let him go.
In the past, Jia Lian might still feel relieved, but today, he was very disappointed.His father didn't even say a word of reprimand to him, is he really disappointed in him?
And look at his attitude towards Jia Cong, a bastard, is it worth his care.
Jia Lian shivered and suddenly remembered a sentence he had heard before.Could it be that the master really intends to raise Jia Cong as his son?After turning back and continuing, Jia Cong will be adopted under the name of his stepmother and counted as his son?
Although the status of his son-in-law is unshakable, if Wang Xifeng has no heirs and the master looks down on him, then his position in the big house will be in jeopardy in the future.
The more Jia Lian thought about it, the more he felt a sense of crisis, and clenched his fists anxiously, circling back and forth outside Rongxi Hall.
After Zhang Nan was full, he was about to go to the garden to practice kung fu with a big knife. He happened to see Jia Lian's distressed look, so he hurried to ask him what was wrong.
Seeing that it was his own uncle, Jia Lian grabbed his arm and talked about his worries.
Zhang Nan shook his head, "Brother-in-law is not that kind of person, it is impossible for a concubine to take the place of you as a concubine."
"I can't, but it seems that he cares so much about my third brother now, but he cares about me..." Jia Lian sighed, shook his head, and squatted on the ground sighing in anger.
Zhang Nan also knelt down beside him, hesitated for a while, and then said to him: "Don't blame uncle for talking too much, you have some problems that should be corrected, and even if you can't, you should restrain yourself. You are famous for making troubles Yes, don't say your father is such a big official, I'll be ashamed of you after hearing that."
Jia Lian stared at the ground in embarrassment, not daring to look at Zhang Nan, "Is it as serious as you said?"
"Of course. You said that you are a big man, and you have not yet gone into battle to kill the enemy. You are so useless because of such petty things in the family every day. You can't control the thing in your crotch? Do you have to?" Only by seeing a woman take it out for a walk can you show your ability?" Zhang Nan asked a little excitedly.
Jia Lian blushed, drooping her head so ashamed to look up.Fortunately, under the darkness, the other party could not see his expression, otherwise he would really die of embarrassment.
This lecherous problem was mentioned by his father and daughter-in-law in the past, at least he was ashamed in front of his own family, and he didn't feel much of it after being ashamed.Now this layman uncle has only lived in Rong Mansion for a long time, and everyone said that he is lustful, and he is really ashamed.
"I also kindly remind you because of the close relationship between us. If you change someone else's offending words, you will definitely not be able to say it. Just watch the fun with a cold eye, so you really have to listen!" Zhang Nan patted Jia Lian on the shoulder, Let him wake up for a while, then lamented that his poor sister left early, then got up and patted his sore legs, and left neatly.
Jia Lian then went back to the room in embarrassment, and sat beside Wang Xifeng in a muffled voice without speaking.Wang Xifeng turned to look at him puzzled, but Jia Lian remained silent.
Wang Xifeng thought that Jia Lian still wanted to play sex and was too lazy to talk to him, so she asked Shang Ping'er to hide from him in the west wing.Jia Lian hurriedly reached out to grab Wang Xifeng, begged her to stay, and then told her what happened to her in Rongxi Hall.
"I don't believe that the master can still ignore you after you have corrected your problems. Even now he treats you very well. You said where did you get your motivation in the first half of the year? Didn't he encourage you to come here?" Wang Xifeng Nodding Jia Lian's forehead, "It's not that I'm trying to scare you. Now our master has realized somehow. He has a deep mind and discerning eyes. It's useless for you to pretend to be him, and you will be in vain. I advise you , I changed your problem from the root, the master must like you before it's too late. Just look at how he treats brother Cong now? You are a son of the eldest son, if you are more sensible than him, the master will love you more than him."
Jia Lian now listened to Wang Xifeng's words and felt that it was very reasonable. The resentment in his heart was relieved a lot, and he became more motivated, holding Wang Xifeng's hand and swearing that he would try his best to restrain himself and get rid of his faults.
Wang Xifeng looked at Ping'er and said with a smile: "Second Master is really cruel?"
"really!"
"Then the two of us will watch you closely from now on, and won't let you go for a moment." Wang Xifeng said.
Jia Lian hurriedly said that she couldn't ask for it.
The next day he started to help Wang Xifeng and Zhang Luorong's mansion with the New Year's affairs, running in and out, working hard.
And Chunliu, who was already preparing to get engaged after the next year, was still unwilling after all, so she gave away one of her most precious jewellery, and asked someone to talk to Jia Lian, hoping that he would be willing to meet her.Chunliu believed that with her good looks, as long as she could see Second Master Lian, she would be able to keep Second Master Lian's body and raise her as a concubine.
Chunliu has already made up her mind, although the outer room has no status, but at least under the protection of Lian Erye, she will live a life of rich clothes and fine food.When she was able to live up to her expectations and gave birth to a boy, Second Mistress Lian, who hadn't even given birth to a single hair, had to invite her back to Rong Mansion to be an aunt even if her eyelids were swollen from crying unwillingly.
After Jia Lian received the hint, he was very tempted, ran to excuse a few words with Wang Xifeng, and went out excitedly.But not long after he went out, he hesitated and circled around again.Later, when he saw his father's carriage approaching, Jia Lian hurried to see him.Turning to see his father's calm and handsome face, Jia Lian couldn't help feeling ashamed, and didn't go anywhere, so he followed Jia She back home.
Afterwards, Wang Xifeng learned that Chunliu dared to seduce Jia Lian with a private message, and his jealousy immediately rose.In the past, such a little bastard would definitely make a scene all over the city, ruining her reputation, and if she wasn't forced to commit suicide, she would have to find someone else to marry.
Because of Ping'er's persuasion, she also understood the benevolence of the master when he sent Chunliu out, so she didn't make a big deal out of it.They only sent Ping'er and two wives to Chunliu's house to make a fuss. They grabbed Chunliu's hair, stripped off her clothes, beat her up, and warned her that if she dared to think about anything in the future, she would tell her family to live in the capital. No face to face anyone.
After Chunliu's parents found out about this, the whole family wept and knelt down to apologize.After Ping'er took the people away, he scolded Chunliu severely.Don't wait for a few years, just make an engagement, and marry her out of the capital to farm as soon as possible, completely eradicating her unreasonable thoughts.
……
In the blink of an eye, the new year came out.
"Secrets Next Door" began to prepare for the tenth issue step by step.Li Xia was rushing to work every day, and finally submitted the special stamp of the new version of the story next door to Jia Amnesty for review.
Seeing that the pattern of this seal was more complicated than the previous one, Jia Amnesty was very satisfied and rewarded Li Xia immediately.Let him rest for a while, and spend time with his younger siblings.
Jia Amnesty immediately discussed with Fang Zhenglu the content of the tenth draft.
Song Xi came, and he also brought news that the tenth issue of the fake "Secrets Next Door" will be listed.
"Tell me more specifically," Jia She said.
"The book has already been printed in Moxiangfang, and it will start in the middle of the night, and it will be presided over by the second head of Moxiangfang. The big head doesn't seem to know about it."
Jia Amnesty remembered that Moxiangfang was an ancestral property, and it was controlled by the two brothers in this generation.The eldest is the head of the family and takes the main responsibility, while the second will assist from the side.It seems that this is a dispute between brothers, and the second child is not convinced and has been unable to take power, so he took over the crooked job.
"What about the contents of the book, who wrote it?"
Song Xi handed Jia She the unframed sample booklet and shook his head.
Jia Amnesty stopped talking, just lowered his head and quietly flipped through the tenth issue of the pirated version of "Secret Stories Next Door" in his hand.
It is difficult to paint the bones when painting a tiger.
The self-edited content in this pirated book is completely imitating the seventh issue of "Secret Stories Next Door".I talked about something similar to the Fang Qin incident, but there are many imprecise words and a lot of subjective assumptions, and the information provided by the anonymous informant seems to have been made up by myself, because all the interviewees used words. They all look the same.
The well-known upright official revealed in the pirated book is higher than Fang Qin in terms of identity. The name of an upright official is not as good as Fang Qin, but his reputation for impartiality and impartiality is higher than Fang Qin.The book said that this man, like Fang Qin, was a villain who earned his reputation and forced three wives to death one after another, making him "Fang Qin's second".
This "wife abuser" adult is Liu Zhongliang, the servant of the household department.
Jia Amnesty was drinking tea, and when he read the content, he finally stated that it was Liu Zhongliang, and almost spit out the tea in his mouth.
As an imperial envoy, Liu Zhongliang was completely negligent of the case of King Jin's treason by fraudulent disaster and conspiracy, and was regarded as a big mistake.Now that this matter is brought up, some people will say that Liu Zhongliang is incompetent.
If the pirated "My Neighbor's Secret" revealed that Liu Zhongliang abused his wife, and he had committed a well-known mistake before, people who don't know the truth will be easily fooled by the content of the book, and there will be condemnation everywhere.
It is estimated that even if the piracy announcement was released before the sea is inclusive, the things revealed in this book will attract widespread attention.
"Since that's the case, you little ones are going to blow up that Moxiangfang!" Zhu Mao yelled.
Song Xi looked at Jia She.
Jia She waved his hand to tell Zhu Mao not to be impulsive, "Catch a bunch of thieves, and now I haven't found out who the writers are, and I don't know how they sell them. It's better to wait for the book to be published and then sell it again, just to kill chickens and monkeys. Public warning, to avoid similar theft incidents in the future.”
Song Xi responded lightly: "That's exactly the truth."
Seeing that the two masters said so, Zhu Mao knew that he was short-sighted and thoughtless.Scratching his head guiltily to apologize for his mistake, when he turned his head and followed Fang Zhenglu and Hei Zhu out, he twitched himself, blaming himself for being stupid.
Fang Zhenglu smiled: "You, don't even think about what kind of scheming figures Master and Master Song are. They can always think of many things that we can't think of, and we don't need to worry about it at all. Remember it in the future, and bear with it if you have something to say. Look, Master and Master Song's way of handling things is always ten thousand times better than our own thinking."
"Yes, yes, I have a long memory." Zhu Mao hammered his head and laughed.Instead, he raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction of the door, and smiled happily.Ever since he witnessed Mr. Song hugging his master that night, Zhu Mao has found more and more that Mr. Song and their master are a good match.
The black pig looked closely at Pig Mao, pointed to his face, and asked Fang Zhenglu, "Why is he blushing?"
Fangzheng Lu Siwen shook his head with a smile, expressing his ignorance.
"Hey!" the black pig shouted into his ear.
Zhu Mao was startled, and immediately pushed the black pig, blaming him for scaring him.
"What spring?"
"What are you doing, anyway, I know one more good thing than you, hehe." Zhu Mao shook his head proudly, and happily went downstairs.
Fangzhenglu and Heizhu looked at each other, feeling puzzled.
inside the house.
Jia Amnesty began to organize the manuscript.
It just so happened that Jia Amnesty had long wanted to write about a loyal minister in the next issue of "Secret Stories Next Door", and one of the candidates was Liu Zhongliang.Therefore, regarding Liu Zhongliang's family background and all the good things he has done to benefit the country and the people, Jia Amnesty has already prepared everything.Now he only needs to rearrange the so-called things in the pirated books in a targeted manner, and the work is completed.
Because the whole article is just praise, and it doesn't involve the issue of retaliation for scandals.All anonymous interviews have been changed to real names, and the time, place and people of all related events are real.There is no pseudonym, everything is well-founded, can be checked and confirmed, and is irrefutable.
Jia Amnesty asked Song Xi to go through the manuscript, and after being told that it was impeccable, he immediately gave orders to his subordinates to make the printing workshop rush to print it overnight.
Make sure to prepare early, just wait for the pirated book to be published, and his real version will also be published, and he will be slapped in the face immediately.
……
Three days later, the tenth issue of the pirated version of "Secrets of the Neighbors" with two thousand framed copies of self-edited content appeared on the market.Different from the secret selling method of piracy last time, this time they boldly changed to open selling.
The book was sold by a well-known local ruffian named Hu Laosan in the capital.
Hu Laosan has a lot of slaves under him, he can be regarded as an old hooligan entrenched in the ferry area of the capital, with some roots.
At the beginning, he relied on the water transportation from the Ministry of Households to expand his family business, and then expanded his business and opened a book store.Now pirated books are sold in his bookshop, and he also openly claimed that he has a connection with the author of the book, and he has a chivalrous heart, unlike some bookstore bosses who have no conscience to extort money from others.He does not seek huge profits, and only sells "Secrets of Neighbors" at a low price, in order to carry forward the righteous heart of the author.
Hu Laosan also said that it is not an industry under the name of the author.In fact, just like Linjiaxuan, Haina Baichuan only buys books entrusted by book masters.However, the boss who is open to all people is also like Jia She, a greedy person who loves money too much, so the author of the book now contacts him instead.He also said that the boss who is inclusive of all rivers and rivers was not convinced because he lost his business, so he put up the pirated version announcement, but in fact there was no pirated version at all.
The real situation is: starting from the next year, the new issue of "My Neighbor's Secret" will be officially sold by him, Hu Laosan.
As soon as this news broke out, it quickly exploded among literati, inkmen, and playboys.
Some people believe it, some people don't.
But since Hu Laosan dared to speak out so openly, the doubts in everyone's hearts became smaller and smaller, and most people began to believe that the book writer had changed the sales method again.After all, the sales location of "Secrets of the Neighborhood" has been changed from the Neighborhood Pavilion to the sea, and it is not impossible to change it again.
Furthermore, some people in the market have long been dissatisfied with the high price of "Secrets of the Neighbors", but they suddenly heard that "Secrets of the Neighbors" was changed to a lower price in line with public opinion, and the response was enthusiastic and supportive.Many literati who are poor in their pockets and do not want to spend more money but also want to save face, have echoed the high price of "Secrets of Neighbors" which was not the original intention of the author.
"...After all, what the author wrote in the book is to expose the ugliness of officials and promote justice. How can a righteous person like the author sell high-priced books to blatantly extort money. I think Only those high-priced books are priced greedily by the book shop owner.
Hu Laosan's words are believable, the "Secrets of the Neighbors" in five hundred copies is the real "Secrets of the Neighbors"! "
Words like this spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital in just one morning.As a result, more and more people flocked to Hu Laosan's bookshop and paid for his "Secrets of Neighbors".
After Fang Zhenglu heard the news from the black pig, a lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.The current situation reminded him of the pain he felt when he was wronged and killed when he was framed for murder. He blushed with anger, his neck was thick, and the veins on his forehead burst out.
"God damn bastard, not to mention profiting from printing our books, he turned into a mangy dog and bit us back."
"Being able to steal texts is not a good thing in itself. If you say they are mangy dogs, you are praising them. I think they are worse than dogs." The black pig spat angrily, cursing them for retribution.
"Master, I can't let go of that Moxiangfang, let alone Hu Laosan!" Fang Zhenglu gritted his teeth.
Black Pig and Pig Hair also nodded in agreement with righteous indignation.
