The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber
Chapter 67 Chapter 1 Paparazzi
understood?
The third princess was very surprised by Jia She's reaction, "Do you mean to agree? I don't want to be hypocritical with you. If you really want to, I'm afraid the emperor's grandmother will choose a date soon. I will trouble your old lady to go to the palace, I heard that she is a very kind old man, and I will respect her well no matter what happens."
The third princess didn't worry too much about whether Jia Amnesty agreed, she jumped over lightly, and started to mention Jia Mu.Jia Mu is Jia She's mother. For the ancient people who put filial piety first, no one knew that Jia Mu should be Jia She's most important family member.
Jia She, who was as tall as jade, was standing by the waterside pavilion with a cold face, looking at the scenery of Houting Lake from afar, turning a deaf ear to the words of the third princess.
The third princess kept a distance of about ten feet from Jia Amnesty, waited for him for a while, squinted at him, saw that his expression did not change, and did not make a statement, so she sneered with the corners of her mouth curled up.
"Why, you don't want to?"
"The three princesses are heroines, with extraordinary courage and insight. The matter of discussing marriage made the officials feel very frightened." Jia She said.
The third princess looked at Jia She with strange eyes, and sneered, "Yo, you're still playing tricks and talking politely."
The third princess waved her hand, signaling those palace people who followed her to take a few steps back.
"Now you don't have to worry about anything, just say what you want to say. No matter how ugly it sounds, I will accept it, but let me state in advance, I have always appreciated your ability to handle affairs." The third princess smiled and looked at Jia She. , to put it bluntly.
"Since it's the princess' order," Jia Amnesty paused for a moment.
The three princesses thought that Jia She would be entangled in emotional matters, questioning and denouncing Song Xi and her problems.But what Jia She said next was completely beyond her expectations.
"In the Yuzhou disaster relief and corruption case, I have always been puzzled by a question. What is the purpose of the three princesses to benefit from it?"
The third princess looked at Jia She in surprise, probably because she didn't expect Jia She to suspect herself.If Jia She found out that this incident had something to do with him, wouldn't Song Xi know about it too.
The third princess hurriedly explained to Jia She: "Don't gossip and frame people. I did learn about this by accident from the nurse next to me. I was in Beiyuan at that time, and I didn't have the ability to stretch my arms so far. I'm not afraid to tell you frankly, I just think this matter can be used, and I just said a few more words from it, and I have nothing else to do."
"Third prince?" Jia Amnesty stared at the face of the third princess, not letting go of any subtle expressions on her face.
The third princess was stunned for a moment, and turned to stare back at Jia She with sharp eyes, which were a little more dignified. "I underestimated you before, and you are more powerful than I imagined."
Jia Amnesty raised the corners of his mouth slightly, it was a polite smile.He turned his eyes away lightly, looking straight ahead.
Seeing his attitude of alienating her, the third princess guessed that he might already have a deep hatred for her at this moment, and she was sick of her.
The third princess thought of that night, Song Xi treated herself with a more alienated and indifferent attitude than this.
"The marriage was arranged by the emperor's grandmother, and I have no right to object."
The third princess took one last look at Jia She, raised her head, and walked back calmly and dignifiedly.
Jia Amnesty waited for a while, looking at the back of the third princess, he really couldn't figure out what was the purpose of her breaking the jar like this, just to attract suspicion?Jia Amnesty followed him back.
The queen mother and the emperor have been observing the situation of the two of them in the pavilion.The queen mother saw people talking and laughing from a distance, and thought she should mind.
The emperor immediately sent Jia She and Liang Leyun back.
As soon as the queen mother saw that the person had left, she couldn't help but grabbed the third princess' arm and asked her how she looked.
The third princess nodded her head pretending to be shy and said, "He doesn't know how to compose poems."
"No, Jia Amnesty is different from those aristocratic sons who only know about love and romance. He is a practical person. I am used to those literati with gorgeous poems and nonsense, but no one is more useful than him. Talented It’s a little bit close, but he still knows how to write articles, and his insights are unique, well-founded, and very convincing.” The emperor praised without hesitation.
The queen mother smiled and nodded, "Aijia thinks that a man is a bit promising, as long as he knows how to love his wife."
The queen mother looked at the shyness of the third princess, and expected that she should be willing to this marriage.The queen mother then sent the three princesses to go to Ci'an Hall with the emperor.
"However, Jia Amnesty's reputation was not that good before, and he has all his children. Even if he is a high-ranking official, we girls will be wronged if we marry."
Emperor: "Why don't we still choose from the young sons of the aristocratic family? However, those are all worthless."
As far as these courtiers are concerned, among the people the emperor values, there are only two who can marry wives, one is Song Xi and the other is Jia She.Song Xi is absolutely impossible, even if Song Xi is not the uncle of the third princess, the emperor would never allow such a powerful official to marry the third princess.The emperor knew very well that this girl had cultivated some influence in Beiyuan Kingdom.And how strong Song Xi's talents and brains are, the emperor is also more aware.After all, he watched these two children grow up.
The emperor would never let the men of the Song family bond with the blood of the royal family.He has given enough honor to the Song family, if it is too full, it will overflow.
Jia Amnesty is different, he is just an upstart in the court, his foundation is not deep, and since Wang Ziteng was moved by him, he is almost helpless in the court, he can only choose to be loyal to him wholeheartedly.Although such a courtier is capable, he is not yet powerful.The emperor could hand over the three princesses to him without worrying about what would happen in the future.
In fact, the emperor could find an honest man and marry the third princess.But after all, he didn't want his daughter to be wronged when she remarried.The emperor knew very well the temperament of the third princess. She was too strong and arrogant, and only saw truly talented people in her eyes.And the emperor recognized Jia She's character and ability, so he believed that the three princesses would also like Jia She.
"Otherwise, how about letting the third girl's child have another title, how about Marquis? The Princess Mansion and the Rong Mansion are separated, and the property that the Rong Mansion should have will be distributed to Jia She's original children."
When the queen mother heard this, she thought it was appropriate.
"Three girls are blessed. It's rare that the emperor always treats her so favorably."
"After all, I can't help her mother." The emperor frowned slightly because he thought of Concubine Li Gui, and he didn't want to think about it any more. He discussed with the queen mother that this marriage should be settled sooner.
"Let's let Si Tianjian combine the horoscope first, count the days, and then make a decision later. You still need to do more research on Jia Amnesty. This is to choose a son-in-law. It is best to be more strict."
The Empress Dowager felt that the people looking for a son-in-law are now warned by "Secrets of the Neighbors", so they have to go through three investigations and five trials.Naturally, the royal family must be more cautious. If the wrong person is chosen, the husband and wife cannot reconcile, even if the princess is married, there is no way to change it.
The emperor promised to say yes, and filially sent the queen mother to the Ci'an hall, and then he turned to the Chunhe hall to see the queen.The queen has been suffering from wind and cold for the past two days, and she is getting better today.
Therefore, the emperor missed her even more, no matter how heavy the state affairs were, he would visit her every day.As for the matter of the third princess, the emperor did not tell the empress earlier, because he was afraid that she would worry about her when she was seriously ill.Now that the matter is about to be settled, the emperor must tell the empress to be happy.
After listening to the emperor's words, the queen just smiled lightly on her face, and she didn't appear too happy.
The emperor asked her what she thought.
Queen: "The concubine just felt a little sudden."
The emperor held the queen's arm and helped her straighten the broken hair at the sideburns, "It's not too sudden. You also know that the queen mother is anxious to recruit her a son-in-law. It's just that the candidate has changed from a family member to Jia She."
"Jia must be pardoned?" Seeing that the emperor was looking at her, the queen tried not to show too much surprise, and explained, "He is old and has children. Besides, the third princess likes men who are both talented and valiant. Jia Amnesty is not suitable."
"But I think Jia She is very talented, a rare eccentric, much better than those useless literati who only know how to recite poems and poems, and those dandies from aristocratic families who only know how to recite poems."
The queen heard that the emperor was quite persistent, so she stopped arguing and asked him with a tactful smile: "Why did the emperor suddenly think of him?"
"Yesterday, the Empress Dowager suddenly asked me about Jia Amnesty, so I started thinking about it."
"Why did the queen mother think of him?" the queen asked.
"The Empress Dowager really wanted to find a sweetheart for the third girl. A few days ago, she specifically asked Qi Qi, who was next to the third girl, to report her master's thoughts in time. I heard that the third girl heard that Jia She sent Ding An When the murder case of the seventeen people is solved, I will praise him a few words." Sometimes the emperor has the habit of addressing the third princess as "Three Maids".
The emperor took the medicine bowl from the court lady, scooped some up with a spoon, and put it to his mouth to taste the coldness and heat before sending it to the empress.
The queen took it with a smile, and drank the bitter medicine in the bowl, then rinsed her mouth and wiped her mouth dry.
The emperor saw that she even drank medicine so simply, without the hypocritical and pitiful spirit of other concubines, and even refused to eat candied fruit after drinking, he always felt that such a queen made people feel distressed.Then thinking of the stupid things he committed before, he felt even more guilty towards the queen, so he grabbed her hand and refused to let go.
"Since the candidate has been decided, there is no need to worry about this marriage. The child has only been back for a few days. Let her stay with me in the palace for a few days. Later, we will only ask the old lady of the Rong Mansion not to discuss with her son for the time being." It's a kiss. You have to be more cautious when it comes to marriage. First, observe slowly to see if Jia Amnesty is compatible with her. Sometimes both of them have good personalities, but if they don't get along well, they can't get along well together. You have to look at the mung bean, you have to catch your eyes." The queen said softly to persuade the emperor.
The emperor looked at the graceful and delicate appearance of the woman in his arms, and felt distressed in his heart, and advised her to take the medicine and rest.
"I have listened to what you said. I will definitely be cautious about the marriage of the third princess. I have troubled you for taking care of her all these years. It is better than my own life. In the final analysis, I have betrayed you."
"What do you mean, you are the king of a country." The queen coughed, and the emperor immediately wrapped her body in a velvet blanket.
The emperor helped the queen to lie on the couch, seeing her fall asleep, Fang got up and left the Hall of Spring Harmony.
After going out the door, the emperor shivered when a gust of wind blew his face, feeling a little bit lost in his heart.In fact, even if the queen didn't say anything, he knew in his heart that their relationship was not as sincere and honest as before in recent years.Looking back at the beginning, he did do many things that broke her heart, and it's no wonder that she can no longer give her sincerity to herself as before.
……
Jia Amnesty was immediately sent out of the palace by Eunuch Tie, and was also specially instructed not to forget to ask his mother to pass a sign to the palace tomorrow to meet the Queen Mother.
Jia Amnesty promised that after bidding farewell to Eunuch Tie, he immediately sent Zhu Mao to write to Song Xi.Song Xi should know about the possibility of him marrying the third princess.As for Jia's mother, Jia Amnesty will go back to the mansion by himself and explain.
Jia Amnesty didn't know how Song Xi's reaction would be when he heard the news, but Jia's mother was quite violent here.At first, Mother Jia didn't quite believe it, so she asked Jia Amnesty to say it twice, then she patted her thigh and said she had committed a crime, but she couldn't sit still anymore, and wandered back and forth in the middle of the room with her waist pinched.
After finally calming down, Jia's mother's eyes on Jia She became extremely complicated.
"What do you think?" Mother Jia asked.
Jia She looked at Jia's mother calmly, "What I think is not important now."
Jiamu's brows, which were so easily flattened, were suddenly pulled together and tied in a knot when she heard this sentence.
"You're right. This is a holy order. Your thoughts are not important." Jia Mu sat back, patted her legs, and said anxiously, "But what's going on here? I'm so confused. It's not that the third princess has always liked it." Is the person Song Xi, and now why do you want to be engaged to you again? By the way, did she instigate this matter by herself?"
"Yes." Jia Amnesty affirmed.
Although Jia Amnesty didn't know what method the three princesses used, he asked the queen mother to take the initiative to help them connect.But Jia Amnesty has already concluded this answer from the words and deeds of the three princesses talking to him earlier.The idea of marrying him was definitely planned by the third princess herself.
When Jia Mu heard Jia She's affirmation, she naturally believed it.She was so angry that her mouth was almost twisted, "This woman is so vicious, she insisted on marrying you in order to separate you from Mr. Song. Isn't she afraid of offending Mr. Song's taboo by her actions?"
"It must be that she has her own set of ideas. It doesn't matter. Mother can happily go to the palace to agree to it tomorrow. I also want you to show enthusiasm and joy, so that people have the feeling that you can't wait to climb this door." The feeling of being rich and dear," Jia She instructed.
When Jia Mu heard what Jia Amnesty had in mind, she asked him why.Jia Amnesty didn't say anything, only said that the time was not ripe.Jia's mother knew that he was always reliable in his work, and since he knew what he knew, she felt more or less calmed down.
"To tell you the truth, as a mother, I naturally hope that you can continue the strings like other normal men, and add incense to Jia's family. But if you are really prepared, you will never like women again, then this noble princess we It is absolutely impossible to marry into the mansion. Originally, there was a princess daughter-in-law, and being a mother-in-law was tiring, and another one with real power and another purpose. I am afraid that the day she enters our house, I will be angry within three days Let's die." Mother Jia even said the word "death" that was her most taboo.
"Mother, don't worry, the princess is not so easy to marry." Jia She bowed slightly to Jia Mu, trying to persuade her to calm down.I can't guarantee anything else, he still has the ability to prevent the princess from entering the door.Taking a step back, even if he could bear it, Song Xi couldn't bear it either.
"Okay, tomorrow I will take good care of it. I will do as you say, and I won't disappoint you. Don't delay with me, go to someone to discuss it. If you can't finish the discussion, don't come back." Jia Mu asked worriedly.
Jia Amnesty agreed, and when she came out from Jiamu's place and asked someone to prepare the horse, she heard that Song Xi's carriage had already arrived at the gate of Rongfu.Jia Amnesty went straight out and got into Song Xi's carriage.
Song Xi had been sitting in the carriage with a cold face and stern eyes.It wasn't until he saw Jia She's head sticking in that he blinked his eyes, moved his seat, let Jia She sit where he sat, the cushion would be warmer.
Song Xi glanced sideways at Jia She, then took his hand and asked him how he was feeling.
"I don't feel it." Jia She said lightly.
Song Xi: "It's fresh."
Jia She glared at him, then grabbed his neck and kissed him on the lips. "That's the feeling, nothing else."
Song Xi froze for a moment, with a warm smile rippling triumphantly at the corner of his mouth, he grabbed Jia She's hand, intertwining his fingers.
"Don't seduce me like that."
Song Xi endured the heat in his eyes, and his face turned solemn.
"How is your mother's attitude?"
"Except for being eccentric, she is very sensible in other things." Jia She explained.
Song Xi laughed: "If that's the case, you should instruct her even more that she must not speak nonsense when entering the palace tomorrow, and say something that the Empress Dowager is afraid of."
"I have instructed you," Jia She said.
Song Xifang ordered the coachman to drive back to Song Mansion.Turning his head again, he looked at Jia She with admiration, and praised himself for his good vision. He was able to choose such a smart person as Jia She as his companion in the sea of people. They could think of many things together.
But Jia She felt that his exclamation was boring, "If I was stupid, you would have taken a fancy to me from the beginning."
Song Xi thought for a while, "If you were stupid, would you write about me in "Secrets of My Neighbors"? If you didn't write it, there would be no later encounters. But if you become stupid now, I will definitely miss you and keep pets. Have fun."
The previous words were quite serious, but when it came to the last sentence, Jia Amnesty didn't like it, and he stared at Song Xi directly, "What do you mean by petting and playing with me? What do you think of me?"
"Raise you for a lifetime, pamper you for a lifetime, and play with you for a lifetime."
Song Xi paused and looked at Jia She with more and more affectionate eyes.
Jia Amnesty shivered, and grabbed his arms with both hands. "so cold."
Seeing that he was not interesting, Song Xi snorted coldly.
Jia Amnesty turned his head and stretched out his hand to untie his clothes.
Song Xi stared at him blankly, "What are you going to do?"
"It's cold, it's your responsibility to warm me up."
While taking off, Jia She took the initiative to kiss Song Xi's lips. When Song Xi responded fiercely and pressed him down, Jia She smiled and told him to cherish this opportunity.
"Maybe in the future you won't be Jia Yushi, but Jia's consort."
"Bullshit."
Song Xi firmly pressed Jia She's lips, and tore open his robe vigorously...
The coachman of the Song Mansion recently discovered a very strange thing, as long as Lord Jia got into their master's carriage, the carriage would be particularly difficult to drive and easy to shake.I don't know if the axle under the carriage is not stable, or Mr. Jia's weight is causing the carriage to become unbalanced.
Because the master seldom rides in a carriage with outsiders, especially after changing to a new carriage, only Mr. Jia has ever sat in the master's carriage.
After the car arrived at the Song Mansion, the driver watched Mr. Jia and the master enter the mansion.
No matter how the coachman looked at Mrs. Jia's figure, he felt that he was graceful, just like their master, too slender and good-looking, and it was impossible for him to be too heavy.
Then it can only be a question of the carriage.
The driver was afraid that the next time he drove, the car would suddenly fall apart.He hurriedly grabbed Heng Shu, and mentioned this matter to him for the second time, thinking that it was necessary to change to a new carriage.
"This car is becoming more and more unsafe. With such a strong material, who knows that when two people are sitting in the car, it will shake very badly. I checked it, and there is no problem. It may be that there is a problem with the wood of the bottom axle. , once it is hollow?"
Heng Shu gave the driver a blank look, told him to shut up, and refused to change the car.
"Then if something happens while driving in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you. If the master pursues it, I will not be responsible." The driver couldn't help complaining.
"Don't worry, the master will not pursue it. From now on, shut up and talk less, drive well, and you will be rewarded," Heng Shu said.
The coachman immediately covered his mouth and nodded solemnly to Heng Shu, who has a grudge against Qian.
Heng Shu threw him a tael of silver, and Fang turned around and hurried into the mansion.
……
"In the case of the corruption case, the third princess just used it knowingly, and it must be to get rid of the third prince." Jia She said to Song Xi while cleaning his hair after bathing and changing.
Song Xi asked: "Have you tested her?"
"Yes." Jia Amnesty sat down in front of the bronze mirror.
Song Xi took the wooden comb from him and combed it for Jia She himself.He was very gentle, and knew how to grab Jia She's hair by the root and then comb the ends to avoid hurting him.
"Skillful, have you done it before?" Jia Amnesty judged.
Song Xi glanced at Jia She in the bronze mirror, and chuckled, "I also have hair, and I've learned a little from seeing people comb it too much. Your husband is not a fool."
Your husband?Jia Amnesty looked at Song Xi who was combing his hair seriously in the mirror, and couldn't help laughing.
"How is your investigation of the fake official bank case going?" Song Xi asked.
"If the third princess doesn't move, there will be no evidence."
Song Xi: "You mean those carriages parked in the princess mansion?"
Jia She raised his eyes and looked at Song Xi in the bronze mirror, "You pretended to be asleep that day, did you hear me?"
"I fell asleep before, but I feel light, and I can hear any sound." Song Xi finished combing Jia She's hair, and kissed Jia She's neck.
"It's not a good habit to eavesdrop on someone's speech if you don't open your eyes when you wake up, or when you call out." Jia She sighed.
Song Xi smiled, "I apologize, then you decide tonight."
"I'll keep it for tonight. I'll take care of you when I'm in a good mood when the matter is settled." Jia Amnesty nodded Song Xi's nose like he was treating a child, and then sat on the Arhat couch, looking at his subordinates. The news just arrived.
……
The next day.
Jia's mother changed her imperial clothes, went to the palace early, and waited for orders to meet the queen mother.
The Empress Dowager paid great attention to Jia's mother, so she didn't make her wait any longer, and saw her right away.After hearing about this incident, the queen came here specially to check with the queen mother.
It was the first time for Jia Mu to get along with the Queen Mother at such a close distance. When she saw each other in the past, it was also when the ladies of various aristocratic families paid homage to Xie En after the new year, and they always watched from a distance.The queen mother is about the same age as her. She is an old lady, so she doesn't think much of it.The queen is really beautiful. From a distance, I thought she had good makeup, but now I look closer, and I know that "natural beauty is hard to give up" refers to such a woman.
Mother Jia was a little nervous, but seeing the Queen Mother's gentle temper, the Queen talked and laughed.Then she relaxed a little, just like she usually does.Mother Jia has always kept Jia Amnesty's advice in mind, and whenever the Queen Mother is probing, she will unanimously and enthusiastically express her willingness to accept the arrangement made by the Queen Mother.
if not?She cried and shouted that she didn't want to, except for offending people, she couldn't influence the Queen Mother's decision.Anyway, she had to admit it, so she pretended to admit it happily.
"Don't worry, we won't treat his original eldest son badly." The queen mother then told Jiamu about the matter that he had agreed with the emperor to be a jue, as well as the distinction between Rongfu's property and the princess's mansion.
Mother Jia quickly agreed, and said that even if the property was left to the princess' children, they would be willing.
The Empress Dowager smiled slightly when she heard this, and her face was expressionless.
After Jia's mother left, the queen saw that the queen mother seemed a little dissatisfied, so she sighed: "Why do I think this old lady is a person who forgets her relatives when she sees profit, and the son taught by such a woman will be a good one?"
The Queen Mother frowned.
At this time, people around me are busy using various examples to explain that this may not be the case.
The queen laughed: "Perhaps I was worrying too much, it's time to fight! Talk about something and nothing, and disturb your good mood."
"No, you're right."
After all, the Queen Mother was thinking about it, so it would be better to ask someone to investigate and test Jia Amnesty again.
Seeing this, the queen felt relieved and left with a smile.
After Jia's mother left the palace, she immediately sent someone to the neighbor's house to deliver a message to Jia She.
Jia Amnesty is taking a rest today and is dealing with the news at the neighbor's house.At the same time he got the news of Jia Mu, the group of people who went to Ding An's hometown to investigate also came back.
It turned out that after Ding An was elected, he stayed in his hometown Hou Que for a period of time.He often invites some literary friends who are in the same situation as him to get together.When Ding An gets together with his friends, he will definitely recruit some singers and dancers to add to the fun.
The Ding family is an old local gentry, and the family fortune has been passed down for seven or eight generations, which is very deep.Ding An was young and frivolous, he was good at reading, and socializing and making friends was also a hobby, so his family followed him and squandered money.
Later, Ding An felt that it was troublesome to solicit every time, so he simply bought a few back, and they were always available when he was called.Among them is a girl named Li Menglan, who has just turned 16 years old, her skin is as delicate as snow, and she is as charming as a flower bud just about to bloom.Ding An was greedy for her appearance and piano skills, and treated her differently from others, and soon took her as a concubine, and was fond of her every day.
After going on like this for more than half a year, Ding An once again hosted a banquet for his friends. Those singers who were disgusted by Ding An were not new.Ding An invited Li Menglan to play a song for everyone.Among the friends, a man surnamed Ximen immediately fell in love with Li Menglan and praised him generously.
Afterwards, Ximen also gave Ding An two pieces of jade to thank him for allowing him to meet such a wonderful person.
Ding An has always valued the loyalty of friends, and his relationship with Ximen is somewhat better than others.He immediately made a choice and was willing to give Li Menglan to Ximen.
Li Menglan was already pregnant for more than two months at that time, so she was naturally unwilling to do so, and begged Ding An to keep her by crying in every possible way.Ding An didn't care about these things, he just treated Li Menglan as a friend with great loyalty, and sent Li Menglan to Ximen's house.
Ximen has liked Li Menglan for a long time, so naturally he treats her kindly.But Li Menglan refused, and wanted to show her ambition with death.After Ximen stopped Li Menglan, seeing that Li Menglan was still infatuated, he was so angry that he sent Li Menglan out of the house and let her go.Li Menglan returned to Ding's mansion and begged Ding An to take her in.However, Ding An felt that taking in Li Menglan would definitely break the friendship between him and Ximen, so he decided not to keep her.
Li Menglan cried and knelt in front of Ding's house and begged for two whole days, and finally passed out from hunger, but was thrown out of the city by Ding's servants, without any mercy.
"...There is nowhere to investigate what happened after that. Judging from the time, it is presumed that Cen Wang was driving into the city on business and passed by. When he saw Li Menglan, he rescued her and finally took her back to the village."
"It's rare for this woman to be affectionate and righteous, but she just met a man with a thin heart. She is also stubborn and doesn't know how to change things. After all, she couldn't think about it, and she lost her life."
Fangzhenglu was filled with regret, with a heartbroken look on his face.He just wished that this incident happened right in front of his eyes. He could shake Li Menglan's head well, make her sober up, and make her understand that a man like Ding An is not worth her life.
The black pig also sighed a few times with regret, then turned to look at Jia She's cold face and said nothing, and couldn't help asking the master what he thought.
Jia Amnesty only said with a solemn expression, "Concubines are good at business."
When everyone heard this, they all fell silent.
Concubine through business.
This is the status quo and is legitimate.
Even if Li Menglan is pregnant, he is just a concubine bought by Ding An.There is a saying that "a tiger's poison does not eat its son", even if Ding An looked down on the child in her belly, he didn't care, he could still treat this concubine as a plaything.
Although it is reasonable and legal, it makes people feel that it is devoid of humanity.
Presumably, after Cen Wang rescued Li Menglan, he must have been very indignant when he heard what happened to her, and finally put this hatred on Cen Laide.How could a child who knew that he was rejected by his biological father before he was born could grow up properly.I'm afraid that all these years, the purpose of Cen Laide's life is to seek revenge from Ding An.
"Could it be that he killed all of Ding An's women and children out of jealousy? Or was he provoked by thinking of his own background when he saw them?" Fang Zhenglu sighed endlessly.
Wanfu came at this time and said: "Someone from Gyeonggi Province came and said that Cen Laide still made those confessions and never changed them."
Jia Amnesty expected that nothing would come out of the child.
When Jia She looked at his indifferent look that day, there was a feeling of sadness in his eyes, Jia She knew that the child was completely broken and it was difficult to change.Now it is useless even if he has the chance to improve, seventeen lives were on his body, and the result must be beheading for public display.
Jia Amnesty asked Fang Zhenglu to faithfully transcribe all the news about what happened to Li Menglan that he had inquired about, arrange it in chronological order, and prepare to publish it in the new issue of "Secrets of Neighbors".
The stories behind death and tragedy are always thought-provoking.
A prison van drove out of Gyeonggi Province.
A wooden sign was hung in front of the prison car, with four large characters written vertically on it, "Beiyuan spy".
As soon as the prison van was wandering through Tongtai Street, the busiest street in the capital, among the common people there were sharp-eyed people who recognized that this person was the old man Hu who made the pirated version of "Secret Stories Next Door".
Jia Amnesty pushed open the window, looked at the lively interface downstairs, glanced at the words on the front of the prison car, chuckled, turned around and told Gui San to keep an eye on the Princess Mansion from now on.
The people watching on the street were all excited.There was lively discussion, it turned out that Hu Laosan was not from Da Zhou, but a spy of Bei Yuan.
"No wonder you did such a nasty thing, so it's not from us Da Zhou!"
"Hit him! You should beat him to death!"
"No violence!"
"Then I went home to get the dung soup. After more than ten days of saving, the little maggots have grown fat and big."
When everyone heard "little maggot", they couldn't help feeling chills, and then excitedly agreed to let them get it quickly.
Hu Laosan went through the streets this time, and brought back a lot of dirty and smelly things.The people in the yamen had already gotten used to it. Before the prison cart returned to the prison, they stopped at the edge of the moat and poured a few buckets of water to flush the prison cart.
Soon, the news of Mr. Hu's visit to the streets spread into the palace and reached the ears of the third princess.
The third princess was playing the piano calmly. She was still calm when she heard what Hu Laosan said about the street.But then Nanny Qi added that the sign of "Beiyuan Detective" was hung in front of Hu Laosan's prison car, and the fingers of the Sangong royal family immediately snapped at the strings.
"Mr. Hu's confession?" The third princess stood up and looked at Nanny Qi angrily, "How could he!"
"My servant swears that he is definitely the most reliable candidate. It's just that he has been secretly imprisoned by the Gyeonggi Prefecture for so long, and he doesn't know what kind of torture he has suffered. He may not be able to bear it." Qi Qi frowned and nodded, full of apology Guilty said.
"Why don't you save him as soon as possible! If you can't save him, you can just silence him."
"The servant has already sent someone to rescue him, but the prison in Gyeonggi Prefecture is very tightly guarded. It was easy to get through the relationship, but he was told that Hu Laosan was not imprisoned in the prison in Gyeonggi Prefecture. As for where he was locked up, there is no clue. People know." Qi Nanny wondered.
The third princess narrowed her eyes and leaned closer to Nanny Qi, "You mean that Mr. Hu's identity has been suspected from the very beginning?"
Nanny Qi froze for a moment.
"Special detention is what it means."
The third princess never worried about Hu Laosan's side, let alone thought that something would go wrong with him.The third princess knew very well what level Hu Laosan was.If he is not a person who swears allegiance to the death, keeps his mouth shut, and does things quickly.The third princess would not have sent him to lie dormant in the capital back then.
What made the third princess even more unexpected was that Song Xi would have eyes for a street hooligan.The Song Xi she knew had always been spotless, and ordinary court officials would not catch his eyes, let alone Hu Laosan was just a gangster who made pirated books in the market.
How can such a filthy person deserve Song Xi's eyes to observe?And it can be accurately judged from the very beginning that Hu Laosan is from Beiyuan!
The third princess was very surprised by Jia She's reaction, "Do you mean to agree? I don't want to be hypocritical with you. If you really want to, I'm afraid the emperor's grandmother will choose a date soon. I will trouble your old lady to go to the palace, I heard that she is a very kind old man, and I will respect her well no matter what happens."
The third princess didn't worry too much about whether Jia Amnesty agreed, she jumped over lightly, and started to mention Jia Mu.Jia Mu is Jia She's mother. For the ancient people who put filial piety first, no one knew that Jia Mu should be Jia She's most important family member.
Jia She, who was as tall as jade, was standing by the waterside pavilion with a cold face, looking at the scenery of Houting Lake from afar, turning a deaf ear to the words of the third princess.
The third princess kept a distance of about ten feet from Jia Amnesty, waited for him for a while, squinted at him, saw that his expression did not change, and did not make a statement, so she sneered with the corners of her mouth curled up.
"Why, you don't want to?"
"The three princesses are heroines, with extraordinary courage and insight. The matter of discussing marriage made the officials feel very frightened." Jia She said.
The third princess looked at Jia She with strange eyes, and sneered, "Yo, you're still playing tricks and talking politely."
The third princess waved her hand, signaling those palace people who followed her to take a few steps back.
"Now you don't have to worry about anything, just say what you want to say. No matter how ugly it sounds, I will accept it, but let me state in advance, I have always appreciated your ability to handle affairs." The third princess smiled and looked at Jia She. , to put it bluntly.
"Since it's the princess' order," Jia Amnesty paused for a moment.
The three princesses thought that Jia She would be entangled in emotional matters, questioning and denouncing Song Xi and her problems.But what Jia She said next was completely beyond her expectations.
"In the Yuzhou disaster relief and corruption case, I have always been puzzled by a question. What is the purpose of the three princesses to benefit from it?"
The third princess looked at Jia She in surprise, probably because she didn't expect Jia She to suspect herself.If Jia She found out that this incident had something to do with him, wouldn't Song Xi know about it too.
The third princess hurriedly explained to Jia She: "Don't gossip and frame people. I did learn about this by accident from the nurse next to me. I was in Beiyuan at that time, and I didn't have the ability to stretch my arms so far. I'm not afraid to tell you frankly, I just think this matter can be used, and I just said a few more words from it, and I have nothing else to do."
"Third prince?" Jia Amnesty stared at the face of the third princess, not letting go of any subtle expressions on her face.
The third princess was stunned for a moment, and turned to stare back at Jia She with sharp eyes, which were a little more dignified. "I underestimated you before, and you are more powerful than I imagined."
Jia Amnesty raised the corners of his mouth slightly, it was a polite smile.He turned his eyes away lightly, looking straight ahead.
Seeing his attitude of alienating her, the third princess guessed that he might already have a deep hatred for her at this moment, and she was sick of her.
The third princess thought of that night, Song Xi treated herself with a more alienated and indifferent attitude than this.
"The marriage was arranged by the emperor's grandmother, and I have no right to object."
The third princess took one last look at Jia She, raised her head, and walked back calmly and dignifiedly.
Jia Amnesty waited for a while, looking at the back of the third princess, he really couldn't figure out what was the purpose of her breaking the jar like this, just to attract suspicion?Jia Amnesty followed him back.
The queen mother and the emperor have been observing the situation of the two of them in the pavilion.The queen mother saw people talking and laughing from a distance, and thought she should mind.
The emperor immediately sent Jia She and Liang Leyun back.
As soon as the queen mother saw that the person had left, she couldn't help but grabbed the third princess' arm and asked her how she looked.
The third princess nodded her head pretending to be shy and said, "He doesn't know how to compose poems."
"No, Jia Amnesty is different from those aristocratic sons who only know about love and romance. He is a practical person. I am used to those literati with gorgeous poems and nonsense, but no one is more useful than him. Talented It’s a little bit close, but he still knows how to write articles, and his insights are unique, well-founded, and very convincing.” The emperor praised without hesitation.
The queen mother smiled and nodded, "Aijia thinks that a man is a bit promising, as long as he knows how to love his wife."
The queen mother looked at the shyness of the third princess, and expected that she should be willing to this marriage.The queen mother then sent the three princesses to go to Ci'an Hall with the emperor.
"However, Jia Amnesty's reputation was not that good before, and he has all his children. Even if he is a high-ranking official, we girls will be wronged if we marry."
Emperor: "Why don't we still choose from the young sons of the aristocratic family? However, those are all worthless."
As far as these courtiers are concerned, among the people the emperor values, there are only two who can marry wives, one is Song Xi and the other is Jia She.Song Xi is absolutely impossible, even if Song Xi is not the uncle of the third princess, the emperor would never allow such a powerful official to marry the third princess.The emperor knew very well that this girl had cultivated some influence in Beiyuan Kingdom.And how strong Song Xi's talents and brains are, the emperor is also more aware.After all, he watched these two children grow up.
The emperor would never let the men of the Song family bond with the blood of the royal family.He has given enough honor to the Song family, if it is too full, it will overflow.
Jia Amnesty is different, he is just an upstart in the court, his foundation is not deep, and since Wang Ziteng was moved by him, he is almost helpless in the court, he can only choose to be loyal to him wholeheartedly.Although such a courtier is capable, he is not yet powerful.The emperor could hand over the three princesses to him without worrying about what would happen in the future.
In fact, the emperor could find an honest man and marry the third princess.But after all, he didn't want his daughter to be wronged when she remarried.The emperor knew very well the temperament of the third princess. She was too strong and arrogant, and only saw truly talented people in her eyes.And the emperor recognized Jia She's character and ability, so he believed that the three princesses would also like Jia She.
"Otherwise, how about letting the third girl's child have another title, how about Marquis? The Princess Mansion and the Rong Mansion are separated, and the property that the Rong Mansion should have will be distributed to Jia She's original children."
When the queen mother heard this, she thought it was appropriate.
"Three girls are blessed. It's rare that the emperor always treats her so favorably."
"After all, I can't help her mother." The emperor frowned slightly because he thought of Concubine Li Gui, and he didn't want to think about it any more. He discussed with the queen mother that this marriage should be settled sooner.
"Let's let Si Tianjian combine the horoscope first, count the days, and then make a decision later. You still need to do more research on Jia Amnesty. This is to choose a son-in-law. It is best to be more strict."
The Empress Dowager felt that the people looking for a son-in-law are now warned by "Secrets of the Neighbors", so they have to go through three investigations and five trials.Naturally, the royal family must be more cautious. If the wrong person is chosen, the husband and wife cannot reconcile, even if the princess is married, there is no way to change it.
The emperor promised to say yes, and filially sent the queen mother to the Ci'an hall, and then he turned to the Chunhe hall to see the queen.The queen has been suffering from wind and cold for the past two days, and she is getting better today.
Therefore, the emperor missed her even more, no matter how heavy the state affairs were, he would visit her every day.As for the matter of the third princess, the emperor did not tell the empress earlier, because he was afraid that she would worry about her when she was seriously ill.Now that the matter is about to be settled, the emperor must tell the empress to be happy.
After listening to the emperor's words, the queen just smiled lightly on her face, and she didn't appear too happy.
The emperor asked her what she thought.
Queen: "The concubine just felt a little sudden."
The emperor held the queen's arm and helped her straighten the broken hair at the sideburns, "It's not too sudden. You also know that the queen mother is anxious to recruit her a son-in-law. It's just that the candidate has changed from a family member to Jia She."
"Jia must be pardoned?" Seeing that the emperor was looking at her, the queen tried not to show too much surprise, and explained, "He is old and has children. Besides, the third princess likes men who are both talented and valiant. Jia Amnesty is not suitable."
"But I think Jia She is very talented, a rare eccentric, much better than those useless literati who only know how to recite poems and poems, and those dandies from aristocratic families who only know how to recite poems."
The queen heard that the emperor was quite persistent, so she stopped arguing and asked him with a tactful smile: "Why did the emperor suddenly think of him?"
"Yesterday, the Empress Dowager suddenly asked me about Jia Amnesty, so I started thinking about it."
"Why did the queen mother think of him?" the queen asked.
"The Empress Dowager really wanted to find a sweetheart for the third girl. A few days ago, she specifically asked Qi Qi, who was next to the third girl, to report her master's thoughts in time. I heard that the third girl heard that Jia She sent Ding An When the murder case of the seventeen people is solved, I will praise him a few words." Sometimes the emperor has the habit of addressing the third princess as "Three Maids".
The emperor took the medicine bowl from the court lady, scooped some up with a spoon, and put it to his mouth to taste the coldness and heat before sending it to the empress.
The queen took it with a smile, and drank the bitter medicine in the bowl, then rinsed her mouth and wiped her mouth dry.
The emperor saw that she even drank medicine so simply, without the hypocritical and pitiful spirit of other concubines, and even refused to eat candied fruit after drinking, he always felt that such a queen made people feel distressed.Then thinking of the stupid things he committed before, he felt even more guilty towards the queen, so he grabbed her hand and refused to let go.
"Since the candidate has been decided, there is no need to worry about this marriage. The child has only been back for a few days. Let her stay with me in the palace for a few days. Later, we will only ask the old lady of the Rong Mansion not to discuss with her son for the time being." It's a kiss. You have to be more cautious when it comes to marriage. First, observe slowly to see if Jia Amnesty is compatible with her. Sometimes both of them have good personalities, but if they don't get along well, they can't get along well together. You have to look at the mung bean, you have to catch your eyes." The queen said softly to persuade the emperor.
The emperor looked at the graceful and delicate appearance of the woman in his arms, and felt distressed in his heart, and advised her to take the medicine and rest.
"I have listened to what you said. I will definitely be cautious about the marriage of the third princess. I have troubled you for taking care of her all these years. It is better than my own life. In the final analysis, I have betrayed you."
"What do you mean, you are the king of a country." The queen coughed, and the emperor immediately wrapped her body in a velvet blanket.
The emperor helped the queen to lie on the couch, seeing her fall asleep, Fang got up and left the Hall of Spring Harmony.
After going out the door, the emperor shivered when a gust of wind blew his face, feeling a little bit lost in his heart.In fact, even if the queen didn't say anything, he knew in his heart that their relationship was not as sincere and honest as before in recent years.Looking back at the beginning, he did do many things that broke her heart, and it's no wonder that she can no longer give her sincerity to herself as before.
……
Jia Amnesty was immediately sent out of the palace by Eunuch Tie, and was also specially instructed not to forget to ask his mother to pass a sign to the palace tomorrow to meet the Queen Mother.
Jia Amnesty promised that after bidding farewell to Eunuch Tie, he immediately sent Zhu Mao to write to Song Xi.Song Xi should know about the possibility of him marrying the third princess.As for Jia's mother, Jia Amnesty will go back to the mansion by himself and explain.
Jia Amnesty didn't know how Song Xi's reaction would be when he heard the news, but Jia's mother was quite violent here.At first, Mother Jia didn't quite believe it, so she asked Jia Amnesty to say it twice, then she patted her thigh and said she had committed a crime, but she couldn't sit still anymore, and wandered back and forth in the middle of the room with her waist pinched.
After finally calming down, Jia's mother's eyes on Jia She became extremely complicated.
"What do you think?" Mother Jia asked.
Jia She looked at Jia's mother calmly, "What I think is not important now."
Jiamu's brows, which were so easily flattened, were suddenly pulled together and tied in a knot when she heard this sentence.
"You're right. This is a holy order. Your thoughts are not important." Jia Mu sat back, patted her legs, and said anxiously, "But what's going on here? I'm so confused. It's not that the third princess has always liked it." Is the person Song Xi, and now why do you want to be engaged to you again? By the way, did she instigate this matter by herself?"
"Yes." Jia Amnesty affirmed.
Although Jia Amnesty didn't know what method the three princesses used, he asked the queen mother to take the initiative to help them connect.But Jia Amnesty has already concluded this answer from the words and deeds of the three princesses talking to him earlier.The idea of marrying him was definitely planned by the third princess herself.
When Jia Mu heard Jia She's affirmation, she naturally believed it.She was so angry that her mouth was almost twisted, "This woman is so vicious, she insisted on marrying you in order to separate you from Mr. Song. Isn't she afraid of offending Mr. Song's taboo by her actions?"
"It must be that she has her own set of ideas. It doesn't matter. Mother can happily go to the palace to agree to it tomorrow. I also want you to show enthusiasm and joy, so that people have the feeling that you can't wait to climb this door." The feeling of being rich and dear," Jia She instructed.
When Jia Mu heard what Jia Amnesty had in mind, she asked him why.Jia Amnesty didn't say anything, only said that the time was not ripe.Jia's mother knew that he was always reliable in his work, and since he knew what he knew, she felt more or less calmed down.
"To tell you the truth, as a mother, I naturally hope that you can continue the strings like other normal men, and add incense to Jia's family. But if you are really prepared, you will never like women again, then this noble princess we It is absolutely impossible to marry into the mansion. Originally, there was a princess daughter-in-law, and being a mother-in-law was tiring, and another one with real power and another purpose. I am afraid that the day she enters our house, I will be angry within three days Let's die." Mother Jia even said the word "death" that was her most taboo.
"Mother, don't worry, the princess is not so easy to marry." Jia She bowed slightly to Jia Mu, trying to persuade her to calm down.I can't guarantee anything else, he still has the ability to prevent the princess from entering the door.Taking a step back, even if he could bear it, Song Xi couldn't bear it either.
"Okay, tomorrow I will take good care of it. I will do as you say, and I won't disappoint you. Don't delay with me, go to someone to discuss it. If you can't finish the discussion, don't come back." Jia Mu asked worriedly.
Jia Amnesty agreed, and when she came out from Jiamu's place and asked someone to prepare the horse, she heard that Song Xi's carriage had already arrived at the gate of Rongfu.Jia Amnesty went straight out and got into Song Xi's carriage.
Song Xi had been sitting in the carriage with a cold face and stern eyes.It wasn't until he saw Jia She's head sticking in that he blinked his eyes, moved his seat, let Jia She sit where he sat, the cushion would be warmer.
Song Xi glanced sideways at Jia She, then took his hand and asked him how he was feeling.
"I don't feel it." Jia She said lightly.
Song Xi: "It's fresh."
Jia She glared at him, then grabbed his neck and kissed him on the lips. "That's the feeling, nothing else."
Song Xi froze for a moment, with a warm smile rippling triumphantly at the corner of his mouth, he grabbed Jia She's hand, intertwining his fingers.
"Don't seduce me like that."
Song Xi endured the heat in his eyes, and his face turned solemn.
"How is your mother's attitude?"
"Except for being eccentric, she is very sensible in other things." Jia She explained.
Song Xi laughed: "If that's the case, you should instruct her even more that she must not speak nonsense when entering the palace tomorrow, and say something that the Empress Dowager is afraid of."
"I have instructed you," Jia She said.
Song Xifang ordered the coachman to drive back to Song Mansion.Turning his head again, he looked at Jia She with admiration, and praised himself for his good vision. He was able to choose such a smart person as Jia She as his companion in the sea of people. They could think of many things together.
But Jia She felt that his exclamation was boring, "If I was stupid, you would have taken a fancy to me from the beginning."
Song Xi thought for a while, "If you were stupid, would you write about me in "Secrets of My Neighbors"? If you didn't write it, there would be no later encounters. But if you become stupid now, I will definitely miss you and keep pets. Have fun."
The previous words were quite serious, but when it came to the last sentence, Jia Amnesty didn't like it, and he stared at Song Xi directly, "What do you mean by petting and playing with me? What do you think of me?"
"Raise you for a lifetime, pamper you for a lifetime, and play with you for a lifetime."
Song Xi paused and looked at Jia She with more and more affectionate eyes.
Jia Amnesty shivered, and grabbed his arms with both hands. "so cold."
Seeing that he was not interesting, Song Xi snorted coldly.
Jia Amnesty turned his head and stretched out his hand to untie his clothes.
Song Xi stared at him blankly, "What are you going to do?"
"It's cold, it's your responsibility to warm me up."
While taking off, Jia She took the initiative to kiss Song Xi's lips. When Song Xi responded fiercely and pressed him down, Jia She smiled and told him to cherish this opportunity.
"Maybe in the future you won't be Jia Yushi, but Jia's consort."
"Bullshit."
Song Xi firmly pressed Jia She's lips, and tore open his robe vigorously...
The coachman of the Song Mansion recently discovered a very strange thing, as long as Lord Jia got into their master's carriage, the carriage would be particularly difficult to drive and easy to shake.I don't know if the axle under the carriage is not stable, or Mr. Jia's weight is causing the carriage to become unbalanced.
Because the master seldom rides in a carriage with outsiders, especially after changing to a new carriage, only Mr. Jia has ever sat in the master's carriage.
After the car arrived at the Song Mansion, the driver watched Mr. Jia and the master enter the mansion.
No matter how the coachman looked at Mrs. Jia's figure, he felt that he was graceful, just like their master, too slender and good-looking, and it was impossible for him to be too heavy.
Then it can only be a question of the carriage.
The driver was afraid that the next time he drove, the car would suddenly fall apart.He hurriedly grabbed Heng Shu, and mentioned this matter to him for the second time, thinking that it was necessary to change to a new carriage.
"This car is becoming more and more unsafe. With such a strong material, who knows that when two people are sitting in the car, it will shake very badly. I checked it, and there is no problem. It may be that there is a problem with the wood of the bottom axle. , once it is hollow?"
Heng Shu gave the driver a blank look, told him to shut up, and refused to change the car.
"Then if something happens while driving in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you. If the master pursues it, I will not be responsible." The driver couldn't help complaining.
"Don't worry, the master will not pursue it. From now on, shut up and talk less, drive well, and you will be rewarded," Heng Shu said.
The coachman immediately covered his mouth and nodded solemnly to Heng Shu, who has a grudge against Qian.
Heng Shu threw him a tael of silver, and Fang turned around and hurried into the mansion.
……
"In the case of the corruption case, the third princess just used it knowingly, and it must be to get rid of the third prince." Jia She said to Song Xi while cleaning his hair after bathing and changing.
Song Xi asked: "Have you tested her?"
"Yes." Jia Amnesty sat down in front of the bronze mirror.
Song Xi took the wooden comb from him and combed it for Jia She himself.He was very gentle, and knew how to grab Jia She's hair by the root and then comb the ends to avoid hurting him.
"Skillful, have you done it before?" Jia Amnesty judged.
Song Xi glanced at Jia She in the bronze mirror, and chuckled, "I also have hair, and I've learned a little from seeing people comb it too much. Your husband is not a fool."
Your husband?Jia Amnesty looked at Song Xi who was combing his hair seriously in the mirror, and couldn't help laughing.
"How is your investigation of the fake official bank case going?" Song Xi asked.
"If the third princess doesn't move, there will be no evidence."
Song Xi: "You mean those carriages parked in the princess mansion?"
Jia She raised his eyes and looked at Song Xi in the bronze mirror, "You pretended to be asleep that day, did you hear me?"
"I fell asleep before, but I feel light, and I can hear any sound." Song Xi finished combing Jia She's hair, and kissed Jia She's neck.
"It's not a good habit to eavesdrop on someone's speech if you don't open your eyes when you wake up, or when you call out." Jia She sighed.
Song Xi smiled, "I apologize, then you decide tonight."
"I'll keep it for tonight. I'll take care of you when I'm in a good mood when the matter is settled." Jia Amnesty nodded Song Xi's nose like he was treating a child, and then sat on the Arhat couch, looking at his subordinates. The news just arrived.
……
The next day.
Jia's mother changed her imperial clothes, went to the palace early, and waited for orders to meet the queen mother.
The Empress Dowager paid great attention to Jia's mother, so she didn't make her wait any longer, and saw her right away.After hearing about this incident, the queen came here specially to check with the queen mother.
It was the first time for Jia Mu to get along with the Queen Mother at such a close distance. When she saw each other in the past, it was also when the ladies of various aristocratic families paid homage to Xie En after the new year, and they always watched from a distance.The queen mother is about the same age as her. She is an old lady, so she doesn't think much of it.The queen is really beautiful. From a distance, I thought she had good makeup, but now I look closer, and I know that "natural beauty is hard to give up" refers to such a woman.
Mother Jia was a little nervous, but seeing the Queen Mother's gentle temper, the Queen talked and laughed.Then she relaxed a little, just like she usually does.Mother Jia has always kept Jia Amnesty's advice in mind, and whenever the Queen Mother is probing, she will unanimously and enthusiastically express her willingness to accept the arrangement made by the Queen Mother.
if not?She cried and shouted that she didn't want to, except for offending people, she couldn't influence the Queen Mother's decision.Anyway, she had to admit it, so she pretended to admit it happily.
"Don't worry, we won't treat his original eldest son badly." The queen mother then told Jiamu about the matter that he had agreed with the emperor to be a jue, as well as the distinction between Rongfu's property and the princess's mansion.
Mother Jia quickly agreed, and said that even if the property was left to the princess' children, they would be willing.
The Empress Dowager smiled slightly when she heard this, and her face was expressionless.
After Jia's mother left, the queen saw that the queen mother seemed a little dissatisfied, so she sighed: "Why do I think this old lady is a person who forgets her relatives when she sees profit, and the son taught by such a woman will be a good one?"
The Queen Mother frowned.
At this time, people around me are busy using various examples to explain that this may not be the case.
The queen laughed: "Perhaps I was worrying too much, it's time to fight! Talk about something and nothing, and disturb your good mood."
"No, you're right."
After all, the Queen Mother was thinking about it, so it would be better to ask someone to investigate and test Jia Amnesty again.
Seeing this, the queen felt relieved and left with a smile.
After Jia's mother left the palace, she immediately sent someone to the neighbor's house to deliver a message to Jia She.
Jia Amnesty is taking a rest today and is dealing with the news at the neighbor's house.At the same time he got the news of Jia Mu, the group of people who went to Ding An's hometown to investigate also came back.
It turned out that after Ding An was elected, he stayed in his hometown Hou Que for a period of time.He often invites some literary friends who are in the same situation as him to get together.When Ding An gets together with his friends, he will definitely recruit some singers and dancers to add to the fun.
The Ding family is an old local gentry, and the family fortune has been passed down for seven or eight generations, which is very deep.Ding An was young and frivolous, he was good at reading, and socializing and making friends was also a hobby, so his family followed him and squandered money.
Later, Ding An felt that it was troublesome to solicit every time, so he simply bought a few back, and they were always available when he was called.Among them is a girl named Li Menglan, who has just turned 16 years old, her skin is as delicate as snow, and she is as charming as a flower bud just about to bloom.Ding An was greedy for her appearance and piano skills, and treated her differently from others, and soon took her as a concubine, and was fond of her every day.
After going on like this for more than half a year, Ding An once again hosted a banquet for his friends. Those singers who were disgusted by Ding An were not new.Ding An invited Li Menglan to play a song for everyone.Among the friends, a man surnamed Ximen immediately fell in love with Li Menglan and praised him generously.
Afterwards, Ximen also gave Ding An two pieces of jade to thank him for allowing him to meet such a wonderful person.
Ding An has always valued the loyalty of friends, and his relationship with Ximen is somewhat better than others.He immediately made a choice and was willing to give Li Menglan to Ximen.
Li Menglan was already pregnant for more than two months at that time, so she was naturally unwilling to do so, and begged Ding An to keep her by crying in every possible way.Ding An didn't care about these things, he just treated Li Menglan as a friend with great loyalty, and sent Li Menglan to Ximen's house.
Ximen has liked Li Menglan for a long time, so naturally he treats her kindly.But Li Menglan refused, and wanted to show her ambition with death.After Ximen stopped Li Menglan, seeing that Li Menglan was still infatuated, he was so angry that he sent Li Menglan out of the house and let her go.Li Menglan returned to Ding's mansion and begged Ding An to take her in.However, Ding An felt that taking in Li Menglan would definitely break the friendship between him and Ximen, so he decided not to keep her.
Li Menglan cried and knelt in front of Ding's house and begged for two whole days, and finally passed out from hunger, but was thrown out of the city by Ding's servants, without any mercy.
"...There is nowhere to investigate what happened after that. Judging from the time, it is presumed that Cen Wang was driving into the city on business and passed by. When he saw Li Menglan, he rescued her and finally took her back to the village."
"It's rare for this woman to be affectionate and righteous, but she just met a man with a thin heart. She is also stubborn and doesn't know how to change things. After all, she couldn't think about it, and she lost her life."
Fangzhenglu was filled with regret, with a heartbroken look on his face.He just wished that this incident happened right in front of his eyes. He could shake Li Menglan's head well, make her sober up, and make her understand that a man like Ding An is not worth her life.
The black pig also sighed a few times with regret, then turned to look at Jia She's cold face and said nothing, and couldn't help asking the master what he thought.
Jia Amnesty only said with a solemn expression, "Concubines are good at business."
When everyone heard this, they all fell silent.
Concubine through business.
This is the status quo and is legitimate.
Even if Li Menglan is pregnant, he is just a concubine bought by Ding An.There is a saying that "a tiger's poison does not eat its son", even if Ding An looked down on the child in her belly, he didn't care, he could still treat this concubine as a plaything.
Although it is reasonable and legal, it makes people feel that it is devoid of humanity.
Presumably, after Cen Wang rescued Li Menglan, he must have been very indignant when he heard what happened to her, and finally put this hatred on Cen Laide.How could a child who knew that he was rejected by his biological father before he was born could grow up properly.I'm afraid that all these years, the purpose of Cen Laide's life is to seek revenge from Ding An.
"Could it be that he killed all of Ding An's women and children out of jealousy? Or was he provoked by thinking of his own background when he saw them?" Fang Zhenglu sighed endlessly.
Wanfu came at this time and said: "Someone from Gyeonggi Province came and said that Cen Laide still made those confessions and never changed them."
Jia Amnesty expected that nothing would come out of the child.
When Jia She looked at his indifferent look that day, there was a feeling of sadness in his eyes, Jia She knew that the child was completely broken and it was difficult to change.Now it is useless even if he has the chance to improve, seventeen lives were on his body, and the result must be beheading for public display.
Jia Amnesty asked Fang Zhenglu to faithfully transcribe all the news about what happened to Li Menglan that he had inquired about, arrange it in chronological order, and prepare to publish it in the new issue of "Secrets of Neighbors".
The stories behind death and tragedy are always thought-provoking.
A prison van drove out of Gyeonggi Province.
A wooden sign was hung in front of the prison car, with four large characters written vertically on it, "Beiyuan spy".
As soon as the prison van was wandering through Tongtai Street, the busiest street in the capital, among the common people there were sharp-eyed people who recognized that this person was the old man Hu who made the pirated version of "Secret Stories Next Door".
Jia Amnesty pushed open the window, looked at the lively interface downstairs, glanced at the words on the front of the prison car, chuckled, turned around and told Gui San to keep an eye on the Princess Mansion from now on.
The people watching on the street were all excited.There was lively discussion, it turned out that Hu Laosan was not from Da Zhou, but a spy of Bei Yuan.
"No wonder you did such a nasty thing, so it's not from us Da Zhou!"
"Hit him! You should beat him to death!"
"No violence!"
"Then I went home to get the dung soup. After more than ten days of saving, the little maggots have grown fat and big."
When everyone heard "little maggot", they couldn't help feeling chills, and then excitedly agreed to let them get it quickly.
Hu Laosan went through the streets this time, and brought back a lot of dirty and smelly things.The people in the yamen had already gotten used to it. Before the prison cart returned to the prison, they stopped at the edge of the moat and poured a few buckets of water to flush the prison cart.
Soon, the news of Mr. Hu's visit to the streets spread into the palace and reached the ears of the third princess.
The third princess was playing the piano calmly. She was still calm when she heard what Hu Laosan said about the street.But then Nanny Qi added that the sign of "Beiyuan Detective" was hung in front of Hu Laosan's prison car, and the fingers of the Sangong royal family immediately snapped at the strings.
"Mr. Hu's confession?" The third princess stood up and looked at Nanny Qi angrily, "How could he!"
"My servant swears that he is definitely the most reliable candidate. It's just that he has been secretly imprisoned by the Gyeonggi Prefecture for so long, and he doesn't know what kind of torture he has suffered. He may not be able to bear it." Qi Qi frowned and nodded, full of apology Guilty said.
"Why don't you save him as soon as possible! If you can't save him, you can just silence him."
"The servant has already sent someone to rescue him, but the prison in Gyeonggi Prefecture is very tightly guarded. It was easy to get through the relationship, but he was told that Hu Laosan was not imprisoned in the prison in Gyeonggi Prefecture. As for where he was locked up, there is no clue. People know." Qi Nanny wondered.
The third princess narrowed her eyes and leaned closer to Nanny Qi, "You mean that Mr. Hu's identity has been suspected from the very beginning?"
Nanny Qi froze for a moment.
"Special detention is what it means."
The third princess never worried about Hu Laosan's side, let alone thought that something would go wrong with him.The third princess knew very well what level Hu Laosan was.If he is not a person who swears allegiance to the death, keeps his mouth shut, and does things quickly.The third princess would not have sent him to lie dormant in the capital back then.
What made the third princess even more unexpected was that Song Xi would have eyes for a street hooligan.The Song Xi she knew had always been spotless, and ordinary court officials would not catch his eyes, let alone Hu Laosan was just a gangster who made pirated books in the market.
How can such a filthy person deserve Song Xi's eyes to observe?And it can be accurately judged from the very beginning that Hu Laosan is from Beiyuan!
