The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

Shui Rong smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking that he may have paid too much attention to Jia Amnesty these days.Although this man has little talent, his ability is unique and attractive.If you accidentally look at it for a long time, you will naturally get lost.

But Shui Rong knew very well that the relationship between these men should not be taken seriously, and it was best to maintain a good 'best friend' relationship, and not bother to be emotional, so as to avoid the pain of 'separation of love, resentment, resentment, and not getting what you want'.

"My lord, the King of Huainan invites you to come over." The little servant cat trot over and whispered in Shui Rong's ear.

Shui Rong suppressed the smile on his face, grasped the fan in his hand, and walked away with modest steps.

After seeing Fang Zhenglu and Liu Xianglian, Jia Amnesty hurriedly asked how the situation was going.

Fang Zhenglu copied all the words of experienced farmers into the booklet and handed it to Jia Amnesty for inspection.As for those journalism school students, they went to various villages and counties outside Beijing in the past two days to investigate and find solutions, but most of them returned without success.However, a student named Chen Xiliang found in Puliu County that a well-growing vegetable field had no insects.At first he asked the family about the method of pest control, but the other party refused to tell. Later, he used the name of a savior to persuade the family, and finally let go.

Liu Xianglian: "Just mash fresh loofah and add several times of water to cure this kind of bug."

"Old farmers say that pepper water and mugwort water can be used to control it." Fangzheng said, "I have tried these three methods, and they are indeed effective."

"Go to the warehouse to get the silver, buy these things immediately and hoard them. If the capital is limited, go to other places to buy them and ship them back as soon as possible."

After Jia Amnesty ordered Fang Zhenglu and the others to prepare these things, he asked Liu Xianglian to write the memorial for him, and immediately went to the palace to participate in the performance. After getting the emperor's permission, he handed over the matter to Liu Zhongliang, the Minister of the Household Department, and asked him to send someone to report it immediately. This method is spread, so that the common people can prevent and control the vegetable fields as soon as possible.

At first Liu Zhongliang heard that the vegetable fields were infested by insects, but he still didn't believe Jia Amnesty's words, because he went out of Beijing a few days ago and saw green vegetable fields everywhere, which were obviously growing gratifyingly.Unconvinced, Liu Zhongliang went to the vegetable field outside Beijing to check it himself, and found that what Jia Amnesty said was true. These insect eggs were sticky and attached to the back of the vegetable leaves, and they were the same color as the vegetable leaves. If you don’t look carefully Really hard to spot.

There is a royal doctor, who is with Prime Minister Wu every day, and he can't even worry about state affairs, but he is able to observe the subtleties, discover the pests, and restore the losses of the farmers in time. This should be within the scope of the responsibility of the household department.Liu Zhongliang felt very ashamed because of his dereliction of duty, especially because he used to think that Jia Amnesty had no talent before, and he felt that he had become a royal doctor by opportunistic methods, and he looked down on him a bit.Now that I think about it, my own thinking is narrow, and it is the heart of a villain.

After Liu Zhongliang urged his subordinates to inform the farmers of the method of preventing and controlling pests in the vegetable fields, he found that the mugwort, loofah and peppers on the market were quickly sold out, and the mugwort in the nearby forest was also cut clean.However, this method of prevention and control is not effective after one spraying, and it takes more than ten days to persist.Liu Zhongliang asked people to go to other places to transport these three things immediately, but he also knew in his heart that it was a bit late to act at this time. He was worried that after the medicine ran out, these pests would take the opportunity to make trouble, and the previous prevention and control efforts would be in vain.

Just when he was worried about this matter, he was rewarded. A benevolent man named "Lin Jiazhen" appeared. He donated two boats of wormwood, peppers and loofah at the ferry, and only left a letter to the household department. The servant Liu Zhongliang.

Liu Zhongliang thanked this timely rain and immediately distributed the items to farmers in various villages and counties for free.Liu Zhongliang is a well-known upright and loyal minister. Naturally, he will not be greedy for personal gain, and he has achieved fair, just and even distribution.

Jia Zhen was very happy when she heard that her name had appeared again and she had done a good deed. She felt that her name could be resounded in the household department, even if she was not an official, she would have the honor of being an official.Jia Zhen happily told Jia Jing who was recovering from illness.After Jia Jing asked the story carefully, he became curious and asked Jia Zhen to show him all the issues of "Secret Stories Next Door".

Besides, some careless farmers did not know that there was something wrong with their vegetable fields before the imperial court issued the news.I ran to check and found that, as people said, the back of the vegetable leaves were covered with insect eggs, and some of them had already hatched and began to eat the vegetable leaves.

When most farmers see this kind of pest, they really don't know how to deal with it except to catch it with their hands.In such a large vegetable field, there are countless worms on a single vegetable leaf, how could they catch them with their hands.If the imperial court did not provide a solution, they would really have to be blind in the end, watching the vegetables they had worked so hard to be eaten up by those bugs.

The farmers are grateful to the imperial court for taking precautions against rainy days, and also distributed them free "medicine" to prevent and control pests, helping them save the loss of vegetable fields in a timely manner.The people in the suburbs of Beijing all praised the imperial court, some even cried bitterly towards the direction of the imperial city, knelt and kowtowed, shouting that the Holy Majesty is an enlightened king rarely seen in a lifetime.It is a blessing they have cultivated in eight lifetimes to be able to be common people under such a wise and wise emperor.

This kind of flattery to the emperor has never worried about no one reporting it.Local officials from all over the country wrote memorials one after another and submitted them to the imperial court.

After the emperor read the memorial, he was naturally very happy.Before there was 'Eternal One Emperor', and now there is 'Hundred Emperors', all thanks to his insight and talent, he got such a treasure as Jia She.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more he liked Jia She, and he bestowed many gold and silver treasures on Jia She.Jia Amnesty returned the money to the state treasury after changing hands, and it happened to have a reputation, that is, to repay the money that Rongguo Mansion owed to the state treasury back then.

When the emperor learned that Jia Amnesty was not proud of taking credit, he was not greedy for money, and he always knew how to be cautious and self-restraint, he liked him even more.

When he arrived at the Hall of Spring Harmony that day, the queen mentioned Song Xi to him, and the emperor couldn't help but admire Jia She with the queen.

"For so many years, I have never seen such a minister who is capable of doing practical things, and is not greedy for money or power. I intend to add a title to him, and make him a duke, what do you think?" The emperor asked with a smile.

The queen smiled and said that everything the emperor is in charge of is that it is inconvenient for her to participate in political affairs as a woman in the harem.

"It can't be regarded as a political matter, but it can also be regarded as a family matter. You forgot about Song Xi and him..." The emperor smiled meaningfully, and went to hold the queen's hand.When he looked up, he saw that the queen's expression was different, and the emperor hurriedly asked her if there was anything wrong.

The queen gave a wry smile, and without speaking, she dragged the emperor to show her the mandarin ducks she had just embroidered.The emperor didn't obey her, and held her hand and asked her why.

"Master Jia serves the country and the people. It is an excellent thing to share the emperor's worries. However, there seems to be some trouble between him and his concubine brother. I heard that the two of them are not as good as before." The queen then told the emperor, When she met Song Xi today, she had a cold face, like ice that had been frozen for thousands of years, which frightened her a little.

"I guess I got into a temper tantrum with Jia She," the emperor laughed, "Your younger brother has finally lived like a human after so many years. Don't we husband and wife sometimes quarrel? When we get along, we always have different temperaments, and collisions are inevitable." The place is up to the two of them. Even if I am so open-minded, if I don’t stop them, what difficulties do they have to solve? As long as they really love each other deeply, they will still be together in the end.”

After the emperor finished speaking, he grabbed the queen's hand and kissed the back of her white and tender hand.

Queen: "I always feel that this time is different, the two of them—"

"Okay, okay, let them make trouble on their own, and one day when the two of them can't reconcile, it's not too late for us to worry about it." After saying that, the emperor took off his clothes and carried the queen to the bed.

……

The back garden of Huainan Prince's Mansion.

The fragrant grass and geese are full of green slopes.

The breeze blows across the lake surface, blowing light ripples, the ripples gradually expand from the center of the water, and disappear when they swing to the shore.

The king of Huainan was wearing a brocade shirt with scattered flowers, a green robe with a Buddha head, and a crown jade on his head, standing beside the waterside pavilion with his hands behind his back.Because the person waiting never came, he squinted his peach blossom eyes indifferently, looking at the pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water on the other side of the lake.

Under the leadership of housekeeper Luo Hongxi, Shui Rong took a small path and came over.Luo Hongxi stopped ten feet away from their lord, and stretched out his hand to signal King Beijing to move forward.

Shui Rong realized that King Huainan should have ordered others not to disturb him, so he walked up to him with big strides and asked him what he wanted from him.

King Huainan did not answer Shui Rong, but instead asked him: "Why did it take you so long to come?"

Shui Rong hesitated for a while, Fang said: "I went to see Jia Amnesty."

King Huainan frowned, stared at Shui Rong, and asked him why he was looking for Jia Amnesty.

"It's nothing serious, I just heard that he and Song Xi had a quarrel, just a greeting by the way." Shui Rong replied.

"Arguing? There is a gap between the two of them?" Seeing Shui Rong nodded, the King of Huainan immediately burst into a smile, "This is a good thing, so why don't you hurry up and invite Jia Amnesty, and say that the king invited him to dinner?" .”

"I thought about it, but Yushitai happened to be busy with something, so there was nothing I could do." Shui Rong said lightly.

The king of Huainan was full of regrets, sighed again and again, and then asked Shui Rong to take a seat in the gazebo, and told him that the emperor had just made the decision and decided to send a large amount of money and food to the northwest.

"Isn't the relief of the spring drought already over?" King Beijing Jing was too young to participate in government affairs, so he couldn't hear some news in time.

"It's over, so I don't know that the emperor is transporting grain to the northwest again, and the amount is several times that of the spring drought relief. What is the purpose?" Huainan Wang was puzzled.

Shui Rong moved his eyes and asked King Huainan, "Could it be Jia Amnesty's suggestion again this time?"

"I guessed right, it's him." King Huainan glanced at Shui Rong, and said solemnly, "I think there's something going on here, why did the emperor trust him for no reason, and he didn't give any explanation to the other courtiers."

"[-]% of the predictions are that the harvest in the northwest will not be good." Shui Rong said.

"After the spring drought is over, the northwest has replanted in time. Besides, whether the harvest is good or not can be seen at this time, and you can't know until autumn. Besides, he, Jia Sheren, is not in the northwest, just like you and me. It's in the capital. Why would the emperor believe him when he said something without proof?"

Seeing Huainan Wang's angry look, Shui Rong chuckled, "Aren't you jealous of him?"

"Am I jealous? There are more ministers with more power than me in the court." Huainan King snorted coldly and tapped his finger on the table, "I want you to think about it, what is the reason for Jia Amnesty? Just saying a word will make the emperor believe it, and there is no doubt about it."

Shui Rong was stunned for a moment, and felt that King Huai'an's words made sense.Then he lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, but the more he thought about it, the more he didn't understand, and his brows gradually frowned.

"At the beginning, because he saved the fifteen princes, he was suddenly appointed by the emperor as the supervisory censor. I felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't tell. The emperor is not the kind of person who casually brings everyone into the court."

King Huainan nodded, agreeing with Shui Rong.

"However, I still can't figure out why the emperor treats him like this. Maybe the matter is as simple as it seems? Besides, since it's a holy will, there's no need for us to investigate further. You can't refute the emperor." Shui Rong suggested road.

"That's the truth. I just think it's strange, and I'm curious to find out." King Huainan sighed.

"Who was there at the time? If you're really curious, you can investigate carefully." Shui Rong asked.

King Huainan glared at him: "Pretend I haven't checked, but at that time only the emperor and Jia Amnesty were in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the chief eunuch was also there, but they swore allegiance to the emperor. Such words would never be revealed to me. Anyway, I think As long as we figure this out, maybe we can use him to deal with Song Xi, it might be a way."

Shui Rong smiled lightly, without making judgments.

King Huainan was in a hurry, so he patted his hand to let him make a statement.

"I told you earlier, don't think about dealing with Song Xi, the time is not yet ripe." Shui Rong said.

King Huainan glared at him, "What do you know, a child, that you are timid and afraid of getting into trouble."

"Farewell." Shui Rong immediately got up and left.

King Huainan hurriedly stopped Shui Rong to apologize, saying that he had made a slip of the tongue.

"I don't think it's a slip of the tongue, but I spoke the truth in a hurry." Shui Rong sneered, then shook off King Huainan's hand and left.

King Huainan was stunned, he didn't expect Shui Rong to be so unreasonable today.As usual, no matter how angry he gets, as long as he apologizes, Shui Rong will definitely forgive him.Today is just a trivial matter of a few words, and he just ignores himself like this.He apologized to anyone who had no temper, what else should he do.King Huainan was also angry, snorted coldly, and sat in the gazebo to get angry, and didn't intend to pay attention to Shui Rong.

After Shui Rong came out of Huainan Palace, he breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

After returning home, Shui Rong went to make peace with the concubine, and asked her if she could be free in the near future.

Concubine Hu smiled and asked what her precious son meant.

"I think the old lady of Rongfu is a sensible person. It's a good thing that you spend more time with her." Shui Rong bowed.

Concubine Hu: "Okay, okay, I see, I'll ask someone to post a post and go to her place some other day, and invite her to come and walk around our mansion later."

Shui Rong smiled lightly, and after saluting and thanking his mother, he was about to retreat.

Concubine Hu hurriedly stopped Shui Rong, saying that she still had something to say to him.

Shui Rong looked at Concubine Hu.

Concubine Hu: "The maids Chunmei and Chunxing next to me—"

"Mother, I'm still young." Shui Rong's warm face immediately turned cold, and he saluted Taifei Hu before retreating.

Concubine Hu was stunned for a moment, then let out a sad sigh, and that was all.

……

The next day, in mid-June, the No.14 issue of "Secrets of My Neighbor" was released as scheduled.

The incident of Wei Daopo immediately caused a sensation in the whole city.

The Wei Daopo in this issue and the Songshan Taoist priest written in the previous issue are both related to "Tao".What the hatchback did was immoral and killed people.But the former is ten thousand times more vicious than the latter.

Songshan Taoist priests firmly believe that they are doing good deeds, and at the request of the people, they spread the elixir to the public.Wei Daopo knew that what she was doing was a bad thing that hurt people, but she kept murdering people for money, and even played a trick with her own friend, "one person lays the voodoo, one person detoxifies" to cheat, it is really abominable!

At this point, many people understand that those who talk about buying windmills, rollers, incense oil, and lighting long-burning lights to improve luck and longevity are all deceitful.Pray to gods and worship Buddha on New Year's Eve, just for auspiciousness, if you really need hundreds or thousands of taels of silver to buy these useless things, it's better to help the weak and the poor, you can still save lives, do good deeds and accumulate virtue.

And sometimes when you help others, they will remember your kindness, and they will reach out to help you when you are in trouble.For example, the two things mentioned by the real names behind in "Secrets Next Door" are shining examples, which are worth learning from.

At the same time, everyone also gained a new understanding of some private affairs in Gaomen's back house.No wonder there is a saying that "Houmen enters as deep as the sea", there are so many intrigues in this deep house compound, even killing people.There is no need to envy how the rich and noble women wear gold and silver, rich clothes and fine food. They have their own hardships. If they don't get along well, they will even die.

The degree of discussion on the matter of Wei Daopo was much more intense than that of the Songshan Taoist priests before, and some people curiously guessed which family these shady masters belonged to.

After Song Yi read this book, he slapped the table angrily and said to everyone: "I know that Qingfeng Temple used to pay attention to selling sesame oil, lighting sea lanterns, and saying that it was dedicated to some Bodhisattva. This Bodhisattva specializes in illuminating darkness and evil. This sesame oil is still There are grades of size, there are 48 catties per day, 24 catties, five catties, three catties, and one catty. The more catties, the more money, and you can’t just order one day, it takes a year and a half. It’s fine. It’s easy to spend hundreds of thousands of silver, and you say that if all the money is used to help the poor, how many lives will be saved.”

"But our wives like to pray to gods and Buddhas and pray for blessings."

"Who says you can't pray for blessings? Take a closer look. At the back of this article, the author can clearly write that ordinary burning incense and worshiping Buddha is not a hindrance, it is also a heart. You can't trust quacks who poison people's lives. If you want to pray for blessings, you should go to a big temple like Fahua Temple to ask for it. Even if you donate money to those monks, serious monks will not Will be greedy for something, will turn around and use the money to do good deeds, or donate to the poor."

The literati present echoed it one after another, which aroused many opinions.

At this time, Qingshan, the inclusive shopkeeper, came out with a smile, knocked on the gong, and asked someone to post the latest notice on the bulletin board.

Qingshan also explained: "From today on, we will hold an essay contest. All literati are invited to show their strengths and express their views on the things reported in the last two issues of "Secrets of Neighbors". After writing, sign it After that, we will ask the great Confucianists of the world to judge, and select the third class of A, B, and C, one article for A, two articles for B, and three articles for C. The rewards are 1000 taels, 600 taels, and 300 taels. [-] taels. And the award-winning article will be published in the next issue of "Secrets of My Neighbor", as for whether to sign the book, it depends on the author's own opinion."

All the literati gathered around and expressed their interest.Anyway, they will also discuss Wei Daopo's matter, why not collect their own remarks into an article and submit it.Money or not is of secondary importance. If one's own article can win the top spot and publish it for other literati to read, it can demonstrate one's talents and views, and it will also make oneself more respectable in the literati circle.

Everyone echoed one after another, calling for the waiter to write and write.After a short while, the sea was filled with silence, and all the literati were writing with their heads down, thinking hard about how they should write to make their articles more brilliant.

Not long afterward, the news spread throughout the capital, and many people in Neighborhood Xuan wrote about it.

After Jia Amnesty arrived at Neighborhood Xuan, he found that many people were discussing and writing in the bookstore.

This essay competition was exactly Jia Amnesty's idea.

Quoting classics and lobbyists' articles is indeed not Jia Amnesty's strong point.This method is also inspired by "brainstorming" because of the pests in the vegetable field. Jia She hopes to collect some more convincing and correct views from among the literati, so as to persuade more literati and common people not to be superstitious .

The status of the literati in the Great Zhou Dynasty was very high. As long as these people's ideas were correct, they would not worry about the people's ideas changing accordingly.This kind of thing will definitely not be corrected immediately, just a few years later, a little bit of enlightenment, there will be some results.

Not long after Jia Amnesty had been sitting in the neighbor's house, he heard that Liu Zhongliang had come.As soon as he got up, he saw Liu Zhongliang with a smile on his face, bowing his hands respectfully and thanking him.

Jia Amnesty hurriedly supported him and told Liu Zhongliang to sit down.

"Master Liu's sudden visit, and his attitude towards me, really frustrates me."

"It's really a blessing to Mr. Jia that the pest problem was finally solved in time." Liu Zhongliang said happily.

At this time, the pig hair served tea.

Jia Amnesty invited Liu Zhongliang to drink tea with a smile.

Liu Zhongliang lifted the tea cover, and immediately smelled the intoxicating fragrance of tea, he couldn't help taking two more sips, this is the best tribute tea this spring, it is said that it produced ten catties in total, very rare.Liu Zhongliang held the tea more cautiously. He put the tea to his mouth and took a sip. Then he carefully tasted the taste and sighed that it was good tea.

"Sure enough, Master Jia is very lucky to be able to get such an excellent tea from the Holy One."

"If Mr. Liu likes it, I should give you a little more than a catty here." Jia She said.

Liu Zhongliang hurriedly got up and said no, "I, a person with no achievements and no faults, can't afford such good things."

"Master Liu is too polite, I will give it to you if I say so, there is no joke." Jia Amnesty immediately gave orders.

Liu Zhongliang couldn't refuse, so he just said: "But you absolutely can't accept it all, only two taels, two taels is enough."

Seeing that he was nervous and serious, Jia Amnesty obeyed him and asked someone to weigh two or two packages for him.

Liu Zhongliang thanked him with a smile, and just wanted to say that the emperor rewarded Jia Amnesty with good tea, which is "good tea goes with a good minister", he really didn't want more.Instead, he saw that Jia Amnesty's tea was different from his own, the tea leaves were just ordinary tips, and the tea soup did not have his own clear green fragrance.Liu Zhongliang regretted it, feeling that he shouldn't have asked for it, but Jia Amnesty wanted to give him what he was reluctant to drink, which really made people feel sour and touched.

Liu Zhongliang's attitude towards Jia Amnesty became more pious and enthusiastic.

"Master Jia also reads "Secrets of My Neighbor"?" Liu Zhongliang glanced at the book on the table by chance and asked with a smile.

Jia She smiled: "I will watch."

Liu Zhongliang also laughed, "The last time I was framed, it was thanks to "Secrets of My Neighbor" who refuted the rumors for me. Originally, I was not optimistic about this book, and I once criticized the author for being too arrogant and easy to read. Using people to create troubles. But I didn’t want to be saved by this book, and although the author’s writing skills are a bit poor, he can always uphold the integrity, which is really admirable.”

When Jia Amnesty heard that Liu Zhongliang wanted to thank "Secret Stories Next Door", he couldn't hide his smile.Jia Amnesty was naturally proud to be evaluated in this way by an upright minister, but why did everyone emphasize that his writing was not good enough before praising him?

Liu Zhongliang was also very polite when he said goodbye, and said that he would invite Jia She to his house for dinner another day.

Jia Amnesty did not expect Liu Zhongliang, a man of integrity and integrity, to be so humble towards himself.Obviously when Liu Zhongliang first entered the door, he just simply thanked him, but after a few words of entertainment, his attitude towards himself became even better.

Although Jia Amnesty was puzzled, he was very happy to associate with someone like him, so he nodded in agreement.

After sending Liu Zhongliang away, Zhu Mao bumped into Fang Zhenglu and quickly gave a thumbs up to praise his master.

"Master is really tall! Even a noble person like Mr. Liu was taken down by you. I drank ordinary tea by myself, but gave up the best tribute tea to Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu was so moved that he almost cried."

Fang Zhenglu smiled, "Master clearly doesn't care about the quality of tea, it's because he can't taste the best tribute tea, so he doesn't drink it, because drinking it is a waste. Master Liu misunderstood it."

Zhu Mao raised his eyebrows: "That was also a wonderful misunderstanding."

"Yes, after all, it was our master's 'good habit' that touched Mr. Liu." Fangzhenglu couldn't stop laughing.

Jia Amnesty heard Fang Zhenglu's voice, opened the window and called him up.

Fang Zhenglu immediately turned positive.

Pighair stuck out his tongue at him.

"Look at you, these days without Heng Shu taking care of you, you've become even more rampant." Fang Zhenglu joked at him, and hurried upstairs.

Zhu Mao was stunned, but it was not because of these words, but because of his master and Mr. Song.

……

Jia Amnesty handed Fang Zhenglu the manuscript that he had already corrected with a cinnabar pen, "These are the farming techniques that you and the old farmers have collected, including how to increase yields, how to fertilize, how to select seeds, etc. The methods of prevention and treatment are all written in the "Great Zhou Chaowen", so that it can be distributed to the world to benefit the common people."

"But the common people who farm are generally illiterate." Fangzheng said.

"We have to cooperate with the Ministry of Household Affairs for this matter, and let the local bureaucrats of the Ministry of Household Affairs cooperate with the publicity."

After Jia Amnesty said, someone from Jia's mother sent a message to ask him to go back.Jia Amnesty then left Neighborhood Villa, and when he arrived at Rong Mansion, he went to see Mrs. Jia and met Concubine Hu.

Concubine Hu took Jia Mu's arm and praised Jia for pardoning such a talented person, but all the gifts she gave were given to the three children Jia Lian, Yingchun and Jia Cong.Hearing that Jia Lian was on duty at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she gave him two atlases on appreciation of famous utensils at home, both of which were rare and rare.Hearing that Yingchun loves painting, he gave her two ancient paintings by famous masters.The things given to Jia Cong were more ordinary, because he was young and didn't show any interest, so he only gave some things like jade pendants and gold locks.

Jia's mother sighed that Concubine Hu was spending money, and Jia Amnesty also thanked Concubine Hu.

"You're welcome, they are not valuable items. These paintings and books can only be kept in boxes in our house, and they can't see the light of day. Fortunately, they have found a little master who likes them. It is their good fortune." Concubine Hu is very good at talking, after some words, Jia's mother smiled even more happily.

For an old man like Jia Mu, it is the best thing to have a concubine to curry favor with her and talk sweet words to herself.Moreover, there is no need to be shy about getting along with the family of Beijing Prince's Mansion, because they are water soluble and will not participate in politics this year, so it will not delay Jia She's anything.Furthermore, the two families had a life-threatening friendship in their ancestors, but now such a relationship is not eye-catching.

Concubine Hu also has good eyesight, knowing that Jia Amnesty would not be used to the words of these female family members, she said to Jia Mu embarrassedly: "The old sister really upset me, and I troubled him to come back to see me specially, if he delays his handling of state affairs , it’s not mine anymore.”

"The younger generation should meet the elders. Besides, he missed you last time. I asked someone to ask him this time and told him to come back when he has nothing to do. That's why he came back now. Don't worry, don't delay anything." Jia Mu laughed and said.

Jia Amnesty quickly agreed and said yes.

Concubine Hu hurriedly praised Jia She's future prospects, modestly expressing that she was abrupt, and then she tactfully asked Jia's mother to let Jia She go.He only told Jia She to come when Shui Rong finished his work in a while, and he might bother him.

Jia Amnesty agreed, so he withdrew.He returned to Rongxi Hall, and just as he sat down firmly, he heard someone report that Shui Rong had arrived.

Jia Amnesty stood up to greet him, and saw Shui Rong, wearing a black brocade robe and a jade belt intertwined with coiled patterns around his waist, coming in a hurry.The corner of Shui Rong's mouth is always smiling, and his face is modest. Even if he walks so quickly, he looks very polite.

Jia Amnesty noticed that Shui Rong's shoulders and hair were covered with dust, as if he was riding a horse in a hurry.

Shui Rong bent his long eyes and smiled guiltily at Jia She: "I heard you tell me about the pests in the vegetable field last time, so I asked people to search for ways to prevent and control them. I heard some news this morning, so I went to the field to see for myself. After verifying it, I dared to come to tell you, but it was too late, I blamed my ignorance, and I realized that you and Mr. Liu have already found a way to prevent it."

"It's no problem, please trouble your lord for tormenting me so hard." Jia Amnesty said politely while observing Shui Rong's expression.

"Look at you, why do you have to be so polite about the friendship between our two ancestors? Anyway, I'm free, and I'm not as busy as you. This is a good thing that can benefit the people. I naturally want to do my part. I don't want to A bit clumsy." After Shui Rong said that, he lowered his eyes, his face full of guilt and annoyance.

Jia Amnesty: "It's really rare for you to have such a heart. How many children are as old as you, who only know prostitution and playboys, and don't think about making progress. Let's not talk about others. If my stupid son is half as sensible as the prince, I'm thankful for that."

"Your Excellency Jia is self-effacing. I think your son is very good. I heard that he is very straightforward in handling affairs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Everyone praises him." Shui Rong smiled, but there was disappointment in his eyes. I am a child. At my age, in a common people's house, I will be the pillar of the family. Moreover, our Beijing Palace has a small population, my father left early, and no one left me, so I should stand up early Now that I'm an adult, I haven't thought of myself as a child since I was eight years old."

Jia Amnesty smiled and nodded, "Indeed."

When Shui Rong heard this, he smiled happily and gently again, and looked at Jia Amnesty's residence with interest.Jia Amnesty followed him to watch.Shui Rong walked around, and found that the layout of the bedroom was simple, without any luxury.On the contrary, this Rongxi hall is more grand, and it should be only for receiving people and entertaining guests.

Shui Rong couldn't help feeling that Jia She didn't covet wealth and honor, which is really rare.

"How is the king of Huainan?" Jia Amnesty asked suddenly.

Shui Rong was stunned for a moment, turned his head to meet Jia She's gaze, and immediately moved away, pursing the corners of his mouth slightly to express a little guilt.

Jia Amnesty frowned slightly, feeling a little puzzled, wondering why Shui Rong would show such a guilty expression in front of him.

"He's fine, but what happened to Mr. Song last time gave him a lot of stimulation. He still has wayward thoughts. Fortunately, I persuaded him to go back. He doesn't think about who Mr. Song is, what is it?" The object of his willful teasing." Shui Rong told the truth.

Jia Amnesty was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Shui Rong to be so frank.

"You're right." Jia Amnesty said bluntly.

Shui Rong nodded, and then begged for Jia's amnesty to keep it a secret for him.The King of Huainan regarded him as a close friend, if he knew that he was talking about him behind his back, he might take revenge on him in the future.

"I'm not a talkative person, don't worry." Jia She said lightly.

Shui Rong sat down, took a sip of tea, and was quiet for a while, observing that Jia Amnesty's complexion was not bad, and then tentatively asked him if he had reconciled with Song Xi.

Jia She sneered, "Before you advised me to break up early and get back together early, or to be serious, why are you asking me if I am reconciled now?"

"It's one thing to say, but another thing to do. What's more, Mr. Song is such an outstanding person. For ordinary people, he will definitely be reluctant to part with him." Shui Rong looked at Jia She with probing eyes.

Jia She smiled wryly, "Do you think I'm the kind of ordinary person who compromises?"

Shui Rong hurriedly said that was not what he meant, "The top card of the Yafeng Pavilion has a humble status, and he can't stand on the stage after all. Mr. Jia is so talented and knowledgeable, and he is not ordinary. I think Mr. Song will definitely be reluctant to part with you, and he will come to you sooner or later to make amends .”

"You don't have to worry about this matter. I really feel ashamed to worry you as a child." Jia She sighed.

Shui Rong hurriedly told Jia Amnesty not to do this, saying that he was not a child.

Jia Amnesty looked at Shui Rong and said nothing.

Shui Rong thought for a while, then asked Jia She what else he had to do today.

Jia Amnesty shook his head.

Without saying a word, Shui Rong pulled Jia Amnesty to go out.When Jia Amnesty was in the car, he looked at the road outside from time to time, and then asked Shui Rong where he was taking him with doubts on his face.Shui Rong didn't say anything, just let Jia Amnesty wait and see.

Finally, the carriage stopped at Yafeng Pavilion.

Jia Amnesty looked at Shui Rong suspiciously: "This is?"

Without further ado, Shui Rong dragged Jia She in, and spent three thousand silver to nod the top card, Du Chunxiao.

Shui Rong used his noble status as King of Beijing, so Du Chunxiao naturally had no choice but to come and socialize.

Du Chunxiao wore a moon-white sky-scented silk brocade robe today, his chest was slightly exposed, and his firm and firm chest could be seen inside. His long hair was like a cloud, and was simply tied with white jade hairpins. Gutan.Du Chunxiao is tall and slender, and walks with a peerless grace, which is by no means comparable to ordinary men.

When Jia She saw him today, he felt that he was much more dazzling than last time, maybe it was because there was no Song Xi to compare with him.

Du Chunxiao first saluted the King of Beijing, and then saluted Jia Amnesty, asking: "Excuse me, who is this?"

Shui Rong reported Jia Amnesty's identity.

"It turns out that this is the famous Jia Yushi, whom Du has admired for a long time." After Du Chun said with a smile, he took a meaningful look at Jia She, and bowed again.

Du Chunxiao's eyes made Jia Amnesty feel uncomfortable. Judging from the meaning in his eyes, it seemed that he had been caught for doing something ugly.

Du Chunxiao kept a gentle face, and smiled and asked the two adults what music they wanted to hear, and he could play it.

Shui Rong ordered Feng Qiuhuang.

Jia She's face suddenly changed.

The sound of the piano is played, and it sounds mellow, like jade beads falling on a plate.And Du Chunxiao's gesture of playing the piano is even more lazy and charming, with infinite beauty.

Shui Rong turned to look at Jia Amnesty, seeing that his face was getting darker and darker, and he was clutching the wine glass tightly.It must be that Du Chun can't stand Du Chun's smiling appearance, talent and learning.

Shui Rong hurriedly dismisses Du Chun from laughing.

Shui Rong hurriedly explained to Jia Amnesty: "Lord Jia, I—"

"What do you mean by pulling me to see him?" Jia Amnesty looked at Shui Rong coldly, and immediately cut off the conversation.

Shui Rong hurriedly said: "Let me show you what kind of lowly person he likes, it's not worth your nostalgia."

"My lord, please don't be too troublesome in the future." After Jia She finished speaking, he left in a huff.

After a while, Song Xi received a message from Du Chunxiao.

Jia Amnesty and King Beijing went to the Yafeng Hall together, and King Beijing ordered Du Chunxiao to play the song, which happened to be the song Fengqiuhuang.

Song Xi put down the pen in his hand, sat behind the table with a cold face.

Heng Shu felt that the room was suffocatingly cold, so he silently closed the door and retreated.
