The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

Chapter 61 Chapter 1 Paparazzi

Jia Amnesty immediately asked someone to pass on the meal.

"You get up now, and you still have a chance to have dinner with me."

Song Xi couldn't afford it, so he lay on the bed and touched the cat, expressing that he would stay with their son for a while.

Jia She paused for a moment, getting used to the word "son" before telling Song Xi that he would leave after dinner.

Song Xi immediately threw the cat aside, and rushed to Jia Amnesty with his bare feet.

Jia She hurriedly turned his head away, pointed to Song Xiguang's slick body, and asked him to put on clothes and shoes.

Song Xi obediently went back to get dressed, then walked quickly to Jia She's side and sat down.

While the food was being served, Song Xi asked Jia She where he was going.Knowing that he was going to see Lin Ruhai, he immediately expressed that he would also follow.

"I have business to do." Jia She said.

"I also have business, and being with you is my business." Song Xi said in a serious tone.

Jia Amnesty first took a piece of fish and put it in Song Xi's bowl.

"It's rare to take a rest, you should have a good time with Chunxiao."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Song Lu come in to greet him, and hurriedly asked him if he had eaten.Seeing Song Lu shaking his head, he told him to sit down and eat together.

Song Lu saluted respectfully and thanked him. After sitting down, Fang said: "Shi Bo please forgive me, and you can let your father accompany you. With my father watching at home, I feel uncomfortable doing anything."

Song Xi raised his eyebrows to signal Jia Amnesty to listen to Song Lu carefully.

This pair of father and son sang together.

Jia Amnesty stopped talking and asked the two of them to eat first.

The three gathered around the table and ate quietly.

After the meal, after rinsing his mouth and hands, Song Lu would leave in a sensible manner as usual.But Song Lu did not this time, with a hesitant expression on his face.

Jia Amnesty has long since stopped treating Song Lu as a child.Thinking that he had something unspeakable to ask his father, he didn't bother to ask him, and waited for him to think it over.

Song Xi didn't care about Song Lu, but he found that Jia Amnesty was looking at Song Lu with concern, so he turned his attention to Song Lu.

"Are you going to rest today?" Song Xi still knew his son.

Song Lu's eyes lit up, and he nodded to Song Xi with a smile.

Song Xi: "I promised you a three-day vacation. Since I want to play today, I will go."

"But I don't have anywhere to play. Father and Shibo should take me with me." Song Lu suggested, "I've never been to Rong Mansion. I heard that there was a son who was born with jade. Today It happens to be acquainted."

"Okay, I will take you there for my father." Song Xi simply agreed, and turned to look at Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty could reject himself, but he would never have the heart to reject a child.

At this moment, Song Lu also looked at Jia Amnesty as if praying, as if it was not easy for him to have a day off.

Jia Amnesty couldn't stand the child's gaze, so he nodded in agreement.

The Song father and son secretly heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

Song Xi was happy.Song Lu was even happier, because he sacrificed one day in exchange for three days of vacation.

Jia Amnesty did not expect that the father and son were actually scheming against each other, and he still regarded them as father and son.Then he got up and happily took their father and son to Rongfu.

Mother Jia heard that Song Xi had brought her son this time, so she wanted to see her happily.

When Jia Mu looked at Song Lu, she was full of admiration.Unexpectedly, there is such a magnificent child in the world, with an outstanding appearance, he can only be compared with Baoyu, and his temperament is extremely calm, very polite, and his speech is extremely gentle, and his words and deeds are full of books.You don't need to test his knowledge, you can know that this child is a person who is knowledgeable and eloquent.

Wang Xifeng also liked Song Lubian very much, and hurriedly asked him some ordinary questions, what books to read and so on.As a result, Song Lu mentioned a series of book titles. No one had heard of them, but they sounded profound.

Seeing that Song Lu was gentle and handsome, Baoyu intended to be close to him, but in the end he heard a series of articles by famous scholars and scholars. In fact, he had not heard all of his articles.I only heard one of them, and it came from their husband.But Baoyu understands that what can be mentioned side by side with this article must not be very different, and they are all the same type of great Confucianism.

Even though they are the same age, they are so powerful.Baoyu was envious and jealous at the same time, and suddenly became afraid in his heart, thinking that such a filthy person like himself was really not worthy of associating with a noble person like Song Lu.His meanness is simply blasphemy!

Jia's mother knew that Song Lu was Song Xi's adopted child, but the child's original background was not good.Now he is raised with quick wit and intelligence, it can be seen that it is all due to the good teaching of the father who raised him.

Who said that they are similar only if they are connected by blood, who said that this sparrow and phoenix are born.Fortunately, I met a noble person and was raised and taught well. Even a sparrow can grow into a phoenix.

The importance of parental education can be seen.

Jia Mu couldn't help looking at Baoyu again.At this moment, Mother Jia understands better that Mrs. Wang blamed Jia Zheng for being a father.Compared with the children of the clan, this Baoyu is just a pearl in the dirty mud pond, and it looks pretty good.But if you take it out and compare it with other people's really promising children, it will be a dead fish's eye.

Now Baoyu is so obviously compared to others.Wang Xifeng didn't like to say anything jokingly.She was afraid that if she said something inappropriate, it would turn into sarcasm.So he just blindly praised Song Lu for his promise, and the gift for meeting him was a hundred times more expensive than that for children from other families.He was also afraid that he would be stingy and embarrass the Rong Mansion and the Grand Master.Furthermore, whether or not Jia Lian will be able to take a real position as an official in the future depends on a word from Mr. Song.

Song Lu accepted the gift neither humble nor overbearing, then thanked her lightly, and thanked Jia Mu in turn.

No matter how poor Mrs. Wang was, she couldn't lose face, so she took out the last bit of golden melon seeds at the bottom of the box and sealed them to Song Lu.

Song Lu thanked Mrs. Wang again.

Mrs. Wang smiled at him with complicated eyes, her eyes full of appreciation.Then he thought, it would be great if his son could have half of his success.

Song Xi asked Jia Cong again, and Jia She then asked someone to bring him up.Song Xi hugged the child for a while, praised him for his cuteness, and gave him a jade pendant.Seeing this, Song Lu also tore off his body and gave it to him, saying it was a meeting gift for his younger brother.

Mother Jia laughed, happy to see them so close.Even if Song Xi didn't give Baoyu anything at the moment, she couldn't choose anything. After all, Jia Cong was young and was a child of the eldest son, so it was naturally different for him.

But Baoyu didn't think so at this moment. Seeing Song Lu's attitude towards Jia Cong was so good, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.He felt that he was not even as good as a bastard in the eyes of others, and even complained that he was worthless, which made people hate him.

Baoyu hated him so much that he just wanted to slap himself a few times.

Song Lu raised his eyebrows, and took the initiative to ask Baoyu, "Are you the child who was born with jade?"

Baoyu froze for a moment, then nodded a little hungry.

Song Lu looked down at the jade hanging on Baoyu's neck.The texture is half and half, and there are a few sour words engraved on it.I really don't know whether this jade is born or fabricated.

Baoyu was about to take the jade down and show it to Song Lu for a closer look.Song Lu shook his head, politely said no need, and instead walked to Jia Cong's side, holding the child's little hand.

Baoyu was even more lost, and his heart gradually became stuffy.

Lin Ruhai got up early in the morning, and ordered his subordinates to get busy with the moving matters. He planned to say goodbye to Jia Mu after everything was ready.Now hearing that Jia Amnesty brought Song Xi to the mansion again, he hurried over to see him.

Lin Ruhai then met Song Xi's son Song Lu again, and couldn't help liking him, so he asked him a few questions about knowledge, and he answered fluently, so he fell in love with him even more.

Besides liking it, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if he had a son, he would be able to teach him like Song Lu one day, but it's a pity...

Lin Ruhai thought about it again, this Song Xi's son was adopted, if he had a way to adopt one, it would be a way.However, the three generations of the Lin family are single-handed, and there are no relatives to be found within the fifth server.Even if there were real people in the last two generations, they were also descendants of concubines. Because they separated early, they all went to different places later, and they couldn't be contacted.

It is a pity to have no children, Lin Ruhai sighed in his heart.A gloomy cloud could not help floating between his brows, which was gloomy.

Mother Jia also saw that Lin Ruhai was feeling a little uncomfortable, so she hurriedly said to Jia She and Song Xi: "Go and help him move, and the child won't have to worry about it, just stay here to play with me. It just makes me miss him for a while, and it's called Baoyu is more for others to learn from."

Song Lu was not at all restrained, he accepted with a smile, and turned to salute Jia Amnesty, Song Xi and Lin Ruhai respectfully, asking them not to worry about him.In the end, he has had enough fun, he can recover by himself, anyway, there are servants to accompany and accompany him, so he can't lose it.

Lin Ruhai twirled his beard, he liked and felt sorry for Song Lu, so he not only asked Song Xi how he raised such a good child. "Not only is he good at learning, but also has a better temperament. At a young age, he is as sensible and reasonable as a young adult."

"There's no special way, just keep them in stock," Song Xi said.

"Free stocking?" Lin Ruhai suddenly stopped while walking, thinking about these two words in puzzlement, feeling that they were too profound, and he was a little confused.

Jia Amnesty and Song Xi also stopped in their tracks.

Jia Amnesty said according to his own understanding: "It should be to cultivate children's independent personality and the ability to face and deal with problems by themselves."

Lin Ruhai thought for a while, and finally understood, "You want the child to be self-reliant earlier?"

"It doesn't mean supporting a family independently, it's about character." Jia She said.

Song Xi hesitated for a moment, "It's about the same."

In fact, he always thought that Song Lu was naturally sensible and didn't worry him much.But a child who is too sensible also has shortcomings, he can't act like a baby, he can't cling to others, and he is not as good as the black dumpling in the morning.

"He may not even know it himself." Jia She looked at Song Xi and said to Lin Ruhai, "So he can't come up with any specific solutions."

"Really, elder brother really understands him." Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Amnesty, then at Song Xi, and couldn't help laughing.

Jia She continued: "But I think the atmosphere at home is very important, and the virtues of being a parent are also very important. From the very beginning, children imitate their parents and take their behavior as a model. Mu Lin himself is very talented, Chun Xiao It will be fine if you continue to follow suit. Besides, when he returns home, he is even more boring than me. Apart from writing memorials, he just reads some theories on governing the country and writes articles. Chunxiao sees that his father is diligent and motivated, so he has nothing to do. It’s fun to play, and I’m sure I’ll learn from it.”

Lin Ruhai nodded, feeling that what Jia She said made sense.Then he couldn't help thinking of Baoyu, who is he like?

"As long as children are not overly spoiled by their parents, taught carefully, and set an example, they will basically not be raised badly." Song Xi said.

"Look at my Lian'er, the current temperament is probably influenced by my bastard and lustful nature when I was young." Jia She helped the deity to 'self-examine'.

Lin Ruhai quickly shook his head and said: "Lian'er is very motivated now, this time helping me find a house and move thanks to his effort, before and after running, I didn't waste my energy at all. He is really a good boy."

Hearing this, Song Xi asked Jia She, "Is he very good at housekeeping?"

Lin Ruhai gave an affirmative answer before Jia Amnesty, and gave examples to praise the fact that he managed the shop and Zhuangzi in an orderly manner in the past year.

Jia Amnesty: "What's the point of managing a family, don't listen to my brother-in-law's nonsense."

Song Xi smiled, looked at Jia Amnesty, but didn't say anything.However, I remembered Jia Lian's ability in my heart, and when I went back to help him find an official in the internal affairs, there should be no trouble.

Jia She then brought up the matter of adoption to Lin Ruhai again, "I think you can check your household registration and see if you can find any relatives from two or three generations in your family. Once you have a chance to adopt a son, you don't have to. Envious of others."

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai's eyes burst into joyful smiles, and he hurriedly grabbed Jia Amnesty's arm, thanking him for his help.

……

The three men then took a car and visited Lin Ruhai's mansion together.

Jia Amnesty had already prepared a set of sandalwood furniture as a moving gift for Lin Ruhai.At this moment, the servants are unloading from the car.

Seeing this, Lin Ruhai hurriedly expressed his thanks.

"You are welcome."

"I have a set too, and I'll be there later." Song Xi said.

Lin Ruhai also thanked Song Xi.

The three of them took a look at the renovated front yard and were quite satisfied, so they walked around the back yard.Lin Ruhai left the courtyard with the brightest and best scenery to Daiyu, and now the name hanging at the gate of the courtyard is Lingxiuxuan.

"The name is elegant, but I heard that your daughter is not in good health, so it's better to give her a good name and suppress it." Song Xi Zhuo thought.

Jia She looked sideways at him.

"What's that called?" Lin Ruhai asked.

Song Xi: "Let's loose the crane."

Lin Ruhai hurriedly said hello, let someone write it down, re-engraved the plaque, and renamed it Songheyuan, implying longevity and longevity.

Jia Amnesty turned around and quietly asked Song Xi if the superstitious method of naming would work.

"I don't know." Song Xi said.

Jia Amnesty: "Then you still propose?"

"But I know that when his daughter sees the name of this courtyard, she will know what his father expects. If she is a filial child, she will be grateful for it and cherish her body." Song Xi turned his eyes and looked at Jia She quietly.

Jia Amnesty was stunned for a moment, felt that it made sense, and gave a thumbs up in admiration.

In the afternoon, Lin Daiyu moved to the new mansion and lived in Songheyuan.

I heard that when she first entered, she couldn't help but wiped her tears away.However, after being persuaded by the maid, she burst into tears and laughed, vowing to be less sad in the future and take care of her body more.

Lin Ruhai was very pleased to hear the news, and felt warm in his heart.To thank Song Xi, Lin Ruhai insisted on keeping the two of them in the front yard for dinner.

The food in the kitchen was ready and was about to be delivered when someone from the Song Mansion rushed to spread the word that the empress had summoned Song Xi to the palace.

Song Xi put down his chopsticks in disappointment and looked at Jia She.

Jia She raised his eyebrows: "Then why don't you go quickly?"

Song Xifang bid farewell to Jia She and Lin Ruhai and left in a hurry.

Lin Ruhai watched Song Xi's figure disappear, sat down with a sigh, and then asked Jia She: "Does the empress often call him into the palace in such a hurry?"

Jia Amnesty shook his head.

"That's the important thing, don't you care?" Lin Ruhai asked again.

Jia She smiled: "I think it's normal."

After all, the third princess is back, and it would be strange if the palace remained peaceful.

Lin Ruhai admired Jia She's calmness, and then asked him if he had anything to say to him.

Jia She narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I can't hide it from my brother-in-law, yes."

"Do you still need to hide it? What an obvious intention. I said I would invite you and the old lady to come over once the move is over. If you don't, you are going to follow at this time. There must be something wrong." Lin Ruhai confessed his speculation road.

"How's your relationship with Zuo Zhiqiu during your tenure as Minister of Dali Temple?" Jia Amnesty asked seriously.

Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, then realized that Jia Amnesty was not asking for anything from himself, but asking about Zuo Zhiqiu.

"It's okay, dealing with officials is just like that, and you understand." Lin Ruhai paused, then remembered, "He asked about you once, and said that he had met you once in Jinling But when I asked him how he met, he pretended to be mysterious and refused to say anything.”

"I went to the local area to do secret visits by imperial envoys. He was the one who publicized it to me. Now it's 'secret'. It's interesting." Jia Amnesty couldn't help sneering.

Lin Ruhai was stunned again, his eyes widened slightly, "It turns out that he leaked the secret about your work as an imperial envoy." After saying that, he couldn't help laughing.

Seeing his behavior, Jia Amnesty guessed that Lin Ruhai also got the news about it.Then he asked him who he got the information from, and when he heard that it was Qiao Shengkang, the prefect of Suzhou, Jia Amnesty became more energetic and asked how Lin Ruhai's relationship with this person was.

Lin Ruhai: "It's not bad. He's a good friend. Qiao Shengkang is a nice guy in the officialdom. He has no temper and is easy-talking, so he has a lot of friends in the officialdom. I think Zuo Zhiqiu has a good relationship with him. I will tell him the news of the imperial envoy. And he probably has too many friends, and he has no choice but to tell any of them. In the end, many officials will know about your secret inspection."

"Then the next time you meet Zuo Zhiqiu, mention Qiao Shengkang more, and introduce me in by the way." Jia She said.

Lin Ruhai was surprised: "You want to associate with Zuo Zhiqiu?"

Lin Ruhai thought that Jia Amnesty would learn a lesson because of the inspection by the imperial envoy and despise Zuo Zhiqiu, but he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to associate with him.

"I'm bored recently. It's not bad to meet more people to eat together."

Jia Amnesty knew very well that as long as Lin Ruhai said something from it, this Zuo Zhiqiu would definitely take the bait.Zuo Zhiqiu probably intended to curry favor with him and hand it over to him, otherwise he wouldn't have specifically mentioned him to Lin Ruhai before.Now he hasn't taken the initiative to make friends with him, probably because the imperial envoy's affairs are not so good, and he doesn't have the nerve to come to the door brazenly.Now Jia Amnesty gave him a step up for disaster relief.

Lin Ruhai agreed, but seeing Jia She's indifferent face, showing no interest in making friends at all, he secretly felt that there was still something wrong.

……

The next day, according to Jia Amnesty's order, Lin Ruhai and Zuo Zhiqiu first mentioned Qiao Shengkang, the prefect of Suzhou.Using him as an introduction, the two quickly became familiar with each other, and Lin Ruhai then mentioned Jia Amnesty.

At noon, the three met naturally.

Originally, Zuo Zhiqiu wanted to take Jia Yucun with him, but this guy had committed arrogance, and when he heard about Jia Amnesty, he lost his temper in a daze.

Zuo Zhiqiu was a little annoyed when he mentioned him. He recommended him with good intentions, but Jia Yucun didn't know what to do and didn't even give him face.It's true that when you become an official, your wings are hardened, and you forget your roots with complacency.

Lin Ruhai smiled: "I guess I couldn't think about it for a while. His attitude towards me now is also very arrogant. Forget it, let's not mention him."

"Then I must toast Mrs. Jia a glass of wine to make amends. It was during the incident in Jinling that I was drinking with my colleagues and slipped the tongue and leaked your unannounced visit. I am really ashamed of my lord's entrustment!" Left Zhiqiu raised the wine glass with both hands, stood up and bowed deeply to Jia She in apology, and then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Lord Zuo is too polite."

Jia Amnesty also raised his wine glass, and his thin lips only took a sip from the edge of the wine glass.

"Everything has its good and its bad. You quietly leaked the secrets of my inspection, but I got a lot of benefits in the end."

After Jia Amnesty finished speaking, he exchanged a meaningful look with Zuo Zhiqiu.

Zuo Zhiqiu immediately understood that Jia She entrusted him with the blessing of spreading the news, and received "filial piety" from local officials.That's really thanks to him, it's also a kind of fate.Since Mr. Jia gave him such a deal, he must be treating him as one of his own.

Zuo Zhiqiu finally let go of his anxiety and guard, and had a drink with Jia Amnesty, chatting freely without any scruples.

When the wine was half drunk, Jia Amnesty was about to leave.

Zuo Zhiqiu hurriedly stopped him: "My lord, why did you leave when you were enjoying your drinking? There are so many people on business at Yushitai, so why should you be late?"

Lin Ruhai stopped Zuo Zhiqiu and said: "Let him go. Yushitai was ordered by the emperor to review various disaster relief cases of the household department in recent years, and now it's a busy time. As the doctor of Yushi, he has to go back. Preside over business."

"Retrial the disaster relief case?" Zuo Zhiqiu sighed in surprise, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

Jia Amnesty had been waiting for this moment, and naturally caught Zuo Zhiqiu's reaction.Then he smiled lightly and said yes, and said goodbye to him.

Zuo Zhiqiu still hadn't slowed down a bit, and seeing Jia She's back leave, his expression slowly turned from panic to calm.He sat back again, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all.

Lin Ruhai called him to eat vegetables with a smile, and the two of them could continue.

Zuo Zhiqiu frowned and shook his head, "It can't be done, I have a headache, and it doesn't matter if it's just the two of us, let's go back."

Lin Ruhai agreed.

When they arrived at Dali Temple, Lin Ruhai saw Zuo Zhiqiu locked himself in the room.I expected that there must be something wrong with this, and confirmed my previous thoughts. Jia Amnesty did not simply want to associate with Zuo Zhiqiu.Lin Ruhai naturally thought of the disaster relief case, guessing that Zuo Zhiqiu had something to do with this case.

Since it was the case that Jia Amnesty wanted to investigate, Lin Ruhai should help.Then in the afternoon, he brought someone to visit Zuo Zhiqiu with hangover soup.

Zuo Zhiqiu had calmed down quite a bit, thanked Lin Ruhai with a smile, and then mentioned Lin Ruhai's move, "It's a happy housewarming, you should celebrate it, you should be the host some other day, and have a drink with us. I haven't had a good time with Master Jia yet. .”

"That should be the case. How about the rest day after five days?" Lin Ruhai suggested directly.

Zuo Zhiqiu agreed.

After Lin Ruhai left, he wandered around the house with his hands behind his back.

At this time, Jia Yucun came to apologize to Zuo Zhiqiu with a gift.After all, Zuo Zhiqiu recommended his benefactor, even if Jia Yucun was proud of someone, he would not speak ill of someone who was benefactor to him.So he made a good apology to him, and explained his "enmity" with Rongfu along the way.

After Zuo Zhiqiu heard the story, he always felt that Jia Yucun's words were beautiful, as if he was reasonable, but in reality, he summed it up in one sentence, "It's just that people didn't succeed in recommending you, so you hate it?"

Jia Yucun frowned, and his words were full of anger, "If you don't keep your promises, you are not a gentleman."

"It's no wonder that the relationship between you and Lin Ruhai is not very good now. It turned out to be because of this relationship. They didn't say that the recommendation would be successful, but they just promised to help with a try. How do you know that the test failed. Besides, Lin Ruhai was Seeking to be the second-bedroom master of the Rong Mansion, Wang Ziteng collapsed, and the second-bedroom master has no backing, so he just wants to speak well for you, and it is useless to speak lightly."

Zuo Zhiqiu then scolded Jia Yucun for being unreasonable and confused, and warned him not to play on the lofty nature of a literati.After all, Lin Ruhai and Jia She are both above him in rank, so it is not easy to offend.

Jia Yucun's expression was stubborn, indicating that he no longer wanted to be associated with the Jia family, including Lin Ruhai.

"But now there is one thing, if you and I can't hide it, this official who was just recommended will be smashed to the end immediately. From now on, you can only eat dirt, and I don't think you can pay off!" Zuo Zhiqiu said suddenly with a stern expression.

Jia Yucun was puzzled.

Zuo Zhiqiu then told about Jiang Hongtre and Wang Ziteng's partnership in making false accounts, making false claims, and embezzling disaster relief funds.Zuo Zhiqiu naturally wanted to pluck himself clean. He described himself as a small magistrate who was bullied by two big officials. I took a few thousand taels of thin silver.

In fact, he felt that he didn't get much, only a little over 1 taels.

So speaking of this statement, Zuo Zhiqiu is not guilty at all, but feels that he is really innocent.

"Later, Jiang Hong Torreya was seriously ill. Seeing that he was about to die, I threatened him with this matter and begged to support you and me. This is how you and I are in Dali Temple today. Otherwise, you think Jiang Hong Torreya really has a good relationship with me. If you don't ask your children to enshrine you, why don't you recommend us without righteousness?"

Jia Yucun was very surprised, "It turns out that there is such a layer of inside information. Then this matter must be concealed. My lord now says that there is one thing to be suppressed, but is it related to this?"

"I just learned from Jia She today that Yushitai will review the disaster relief cases of the Ministry of Households in recent years. I don't know if the Yuzhou disaster relief case four years ago will be among them. It’s all right, but if you check carefully, it will definitely not stand up to scrutiny. Whether you and I will have a good life in the future depends on whether Yushitai is careless or not.” Zuo Zhiqiu lowered his volume and muttered to Jia Yucun.

"Then according to what you mean, we must now curry favor with Mr. Yushi." Jia Yucun reluctantly carried it.

In fact, thinking of Jia Amnesty, Jia Yucun didn't feel too disgusted.What Zuo Zhiqiu said was right, it was Jia Zheng who had promised him but failed to introduce him. Although the two were brothers, they belonged to each other.

Jia Yucun then nodded and promised Zuo Zhiqiu that he would work with him to find a way to settle this matter.

That afternoon, Jia Amnesty returned to Rong Mansion.

Heng Shu had been waiting here for a long time, and came here to explain Song Xi's situation to Jia She.

"Master stayed in the palace for the whole night last night, and this morning he will meet with Shengshang to discuss state affairs. I have no free time now, so I have to go out of Beijing immediately. I specially sent my little one to tell Master that everything is fine and there is nothing to worry about. He will return in a few days. .”

Since Hengshu didn't say what Song Xi was going to do when he left Beijing, it was probably a secret matter, and they didn't know about it.Jia Amnesty didn't ask, just said "I know", and sent Hengshu away.

Three days later, Song Xi still did not come back, and Jia Amnesty was summoned to the palace to face the saint.

Jia Amnesty and Prime Minister Wu went together to discuss the issue of defense in the north with the emperor and other ministers.Jia Amnesty didn't understand these things, and basically stood still, occasionally making jokes.

He is a doctor of imperial history, and he is only responsible for supervising the work of the prime minister and other officials, and he does not need to express much opinion.Unless there is a serious problem with the matter itself, Jia Amnesty will only speak when he senses the clue.But Prime Minister Wu is strict in his work, and basically there will be no problems with the affairs he hosts, which relieves Jia Amnesty's burden.

Therefore, every time Jia Amnesty discussed matters with the prime minister and other ministers, he had nothing to do except 'stand guard'.

After finally finishing the work of "stand guard" in the Hall of Supreme Harmony today, Jia Amnesty planned to go back and sort out the case, and by the way, enjoy Jia Yucun and Zuo Zhiqiu's courteous courtship to him.

In the past two days, the two of them acted as if they had turned into pug dogs, trying to please him in all kinds of ways.

Jia She was delighted to watch the two jumping around, as long as things were not too much, he enjoyed it quite a bit.

For example, when the two heard that Jia She loved to read miscellaneous notes, they dedicated some wonderful and unique books that even Jia She couldn't find.Jia Amnesty really liked it, it was just a few books, so he accepted it.

Later, the two heard that Jia Lian was in the jade business, and they offered to introduce friends, which attracted a lot of business for Jia Lian, and also invited many friends to visit the shop under Jia Lian's name.It's not deliberate, it's reasonable.Jia Lian was happy, but he had been reminded by his father that he must beware of bribery by people with ulterior motives, so he came to ask Jia Amnesty for instructions.

Jia She's people had already followed up on this matter, and Jia She knew that these were just human fawning and would not be caught with any evidence, so he agreed.However, Jia Lian was required to take out this part of the profit and use it to help the poor.Jia Lian quickly agreed, thinking very carefully, and set up another account book, which was specially used to record the guests recommended by Jia Yucun and Zuo Zhiqiu.

Today, Jia Amnesty was invited by these two again to meet in Zhuangyuan Building.

Unexpectedly, his carriage was stopped by a little eunuch just after leaving the palace and turned a corner.

Jia She lifted the curtain and looked, the eunuch looked familiar, he looked exactly like the one next to the third princess.

"Our master, please move to Fahua Temple." The little eunuch said.

"What if we don't go?" Jia She asked.

The eunuch, who was still somewhat arrogant, suddenly turned pale when he heard this, and looked at Jia She coldly, "You, you, how dare you..."

"It's against your princess' will? But can foreign ministers see your princess casually? I just passed away my wife, and the funeral is just out, and the princess invited me rashly. If I go to the appointment, will it be a little..." Jia She raised his eyebrows slightly , with a complacent expression, as if he was dreaming about something good.

"Marquis Jia En, you are shameless! You are not allowed to blaspheme our princess!" The little eunuch was anxious, bit his lips and stamped his feet.

Jia She laughed, "little eunuch, what are you thinking, why do you say that I blasphemed your princess? Could it be that you are thinking something about me and your princess in your own head? You should not blaspheme me! I am Innocent, just now I was just thinking about the little black cat I just adopted. I don’t rush back to feed it now, for fear of starving it. If it is starved and thin, what if its father comes back to see it and is unhappy? Good luck."

The little eunuch's cheeks were puffed up by Jia She's words. He looked at Jia She fiercely, but he didn't expect Jia She to speak so forcefully.

"I didn't, it's obviously you talking nonsense and sophistry! You are talking nonsense about a little black cat, that's all, and you actually call a smelly male cat 'father'. I have only heard of a mother cat taking care of her cubs, but I have never seen one After the tomcat finishes its work, it will come back to see its cubs."

"Pfft—" Song Xi was called a stinky tomcat by a little eunuch!

Jia Amnesty couldn't help laughing, with a hearty voice.

The little eunuch had never seen such a beautiful and bright smile, he was stunned for a moment, then blushed and lowered his head, angry and anxious, and also shy.

"Are you going or not?" The little eunuch couldn't bear it at last, he yelled and glared at Jia She.

At this moment, Jia She understood somewhat why the third princess sent such an ignorant person.Simple, loyal, easy to use, and the cost of loss is small.

Who would care about the life and death of a little eunuch, he would be like an ant after death.If he failed to deliver the message this time, if he was reported by himself, probably only this little ant would be sacrificed.

Jia Amnesty asked the eunuch to get into the car and lead the way.

The little eunuch blushed, and after explaining the route to the coachman, he was pushed into the carriage by the pig hair.The little eunuch looked at Jia Amnesty, feeling extremely embarrassed, not knowing whether to kneel or sit.

"Sit down, what's your name?" Jia She asked.

"Wei Wuzhi." The little eunuch said.

Jia Amnesty laughed again, "Ignorance? This name really fits your temperament."

"Wu Zhi is based on the name of Wu Zhi." Wei Wuzhi bit his words hard, and corrected Jia She.

"Do you know that if you spread this word to your princess, you will lose your life if you fail to do so."

Wei Wuzhi glanced at Jia She, straightened his chest and said: "My life is given by the princess, and I am willing to sacrifice my life for the princess."

Jia She sneered, "Your parents gave you your life, but after your mother was born, your life is your own. Not every way of death will result in a reputation of loyalty. It's worth dying as soon as you say it. Advice Tell me, don't make unnecessary sacrifices for insignificant things in the future."

Wei Wuzhi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Lord Yushi to tell him these reasons.He felt a little dazed and confused, and lowered his head to think left and right, very puzzled.

"Today, on the first day of the lunar new year, your princess immediately took the opportunity of going out of the palace to worship Buddha and planned to meet me. She was already impatient, wasn't she?" Jia She asked.

Wei Wuzhi raised his head to look at Jia Amnesty in surprise, feeling that the other party's eagle-like gloomy gaze immediately understood his thoughts, he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look any further.

"It's useless to see her, why should she make a fuss." Jia Amnesty said coldly.

Wei Wuzhi pursed his lips and remained silent.He knew that no matter how much he opened his mouth, he would not be able to defeat the doctor Yushi.Or, it was Doctor Yushi's words of concern for him just now, which made him not want to speak for his princess anymore.

The carriage soon arrived at Fahua Temple.

Under the guidance of Wei Wuzhi, Jia Amnesty walked to the guest room of Fahua Temple.

There were no people along the way, it seemed that the third princess had been prepared to drive people away first to avoid suspicion.

When they arrived at an arched door with hanging flowers, there were two strong women guarding the door, signaling Jia Amnesty not to bring his entourage in.

"No." Jia She said.

The mother-in-law glared at Jia She, threatening her that this was the princess' order.

"Is your princess still dreaming, thinking that Da Zhou is Bei Yuan, she can order the officials and be the master of the house?" Jia She's eyes also turned cold.

When the mother-in-law heard Jia She said "to order the officials" and "to be the masters of the house", it was the same as accusing their master of treason.Immediately, he was so angry that he became furious, and his eyes flashed with fire, wishing to burn Jia She to death with his eyes.

"Let him bring someone in, I believe Mrs. Jia is a sensible and wise man." A sonorous female voice came from the closed door.
