The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

Song Xi didn't find anything unusual, so he turned his eyes indifferently and looked at Jia She.But seeing Jia Amnesty's eyes full of surprise, his face was very dark.

Song Xi became interested, and asked Jia She with interest, "What do you think?"

Jia Amnesty: "I don't know what to say."

Shan Guogong Li Dai was stiff, and Shi Shi also learned this trick from Shan Guogong.This is already messy enough, but in the end there was another incident of "raising little birds" that ruined the Three Views.

Of course, Jia Amnesty will investigate both. Cao Qingming's life experience must be investigated clearly, and whether there are other secrets behind Shi's death.The matter of raising birds should not be let go, and now that the king of Dongping County in Beijing has also raised them, it shows that this kind of thing may gradually become popular in the capital, and it is necessary to kill this sign in time.

Jia She then inquired with Song Xi and asked when he saw him at the palace of Dongping County.

Song Xi immediately stated the specific date, "March [-] last year."

Jia Amnesty had seen Song Xi's memory ability before, so naturally he didn't think it was strange, so he wrote down the time in his notebook, and asked people to find out if there were still these girls in the Dongping County Prince's Mansion.

Song Xi: "What are you asking, I'll take you there directly."

Jia Amnesty hesitated.

Song Xi snatched the pen from Jia Amnesty's hand, took out a piece of letter paper, quickly wrote two strokes on it, and sent someone to Dongping County Prince's Mansion.Not long after, someone came back and said that the king of Dongping County will prepare a banquet tonight and wait for Song Xi and Jia Amnesty to come over.

Jia She gave Song Xi a thumbs up, he is really fast.

"I usually don't like to socialize, so it's rare for me to say that I'm going, and he naturally welcomes me." Song Xi explained.

At dusk, the two drove to Dongping County Prince's Mansion.

The red lights in the back garden of the Prince's Mansion were like a sea, illuminating the whole garden as if it were daytime.

It was the first time for Jia Shen to see so many different styles of lanterns. When visiting the garden, in addition to feeling the tranquility and coolness of summer nights, it also felt like visiting the Lantern Festival. Enjoying the perfect scenery, you can also enjoy the lanterns.

Jia She also found that there are lantern riddles on each exquisite lantern.

Song Xi: "My lord has a hobby of collecting lanterns, and so are lantern riddles. Besides, she's a good woman."

Jia She nodded, probably read a few lantern riddles, and if he could guess one out of ten riddles, it would be considered pretty good.Jia She then saw that there was only a blank piece of paper hanging under a corner lamp with nothing written on it, and felt a little strange.

The king of Dongping County walked in front, and at this time he was enthusiastically inviting the two of them to sit in the gazebo.

After Song Xi agreed, taking advantage of Dongping County King's order to his servants, he smiled and whispered into Jia She's ear: "Bai Zhi, medicine."

White paper, Angelica dahurica.

Jia Amnesty understood.

Song Xi added at this time, "There is this medicine in the white jade ointment that I give you every time I finish my work."

Jia Amnesty's face suddenly became hot, and under the light of the red lights, his cheeks became even redder.He gave Song Xi an annoyed look, then ignored him, strode up to Dongping County King, accepted his invitation, and sat down.

Song Xi smiled even more cheerfully, and went too. Naturally, he wanted to sit beside Jia She.

The king of Dongping County is 35 this year. He is an idle king. He occasionally gets some work in the court, and he can do it well. But as long as the emperor doesn't want him to do something, he won't take the initiative to mention it. He is not interested in mixing with the court on weekdays. thing.In short, he is very knowledgeable and interesting, has a good eye for six directions, and is very popular.Just a few words of affection between Song Xi and Jia She, he can see at a glance that Song Xi treats Jia She differently from others.He can also see that when these two people are together, whoever talks more counts.

The King of Dongping chose to sit next to Jia She and enthusiastically introduced the dishes on the table to him.Such as Buddha's Hand Fortune Spring, Eight Treasures Hexi, Moran Spring City, etc., the names are all nice and elegant.Jia She tasted everything and found that the taste was really good, so he nodded his approval.

The king of Dongping County stretched out his hand to signal Jia She to taste his self-brewed green plum wine, "It is fragrant and sweet, but not overpowering, Mr. Jia should drink less, it won't hurt anything."

For some reason, Jia Amnesty always felt very comfortable listening to Dongping County King. He seemed to recognize his preferences at a glance, and every word could speak to his heart, which just catered to his preferences.

Seeing that Jia Amnesty was in a good mood, Song Xi was naturally happy too, so he raised his glass and the three of them drank together.

After putting down the cup, Jia Amnesty winked at Song Xi.

The King of Dongping put down his chopsticks, hurriedly cupped his hands to Song Xi and Jia She, and said, "I know that the two of you will go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do. If there is anything you can ask for, just say it. , will definitely agree."

Jia Amnesty heard that Dongping County King was so forthright, but felt that he should be more agile, and was about to speak, but was preempted by Song Xi.

"Accidentally mentioning something new in Wang Ye's study, he felt curious, so he wanted to bring him to see it, and ask Wang Ye to forgive us for our abrupt behavior." Song Xi said politely.

The king of Dongping County was stunned for a moment, and Fang remembered that when Song Xi came last time, he seemed to show him the "treasure" and laughed, saying that it was all right.Immediately, he dispersed the serving people and ordered them to guard the garden and not let anyone in.Only then did he send his cronies to his study to call him over.

Jia Amnesty took the opportunity to ask the king of Dongping where he got the girl.

The King of Dongping County smiled mysteriously, twisted his beard, and whispered to Jia Amnesty, "I asked someone to come here. If Master Jia likes it after a while, he will pick one and I will give it to you. I am Master Jia and I feel like old friends at first sight, so I will be so generous. It's Mr. Song, I'm not willing to give him this treatment."

"I heard what you said." Song Xi took a sip of wine coldly, and did not look at the two of them.

The King of Dongping laughed loudly, and shrugged at Jia She, "Look, this is jealousy, that's all, today I will reluctantly part with each other, and you two will each choose one to go back."

As soon as the words fell, a girl's laughter was heard.Jia She looked up and saw four women in tulle, all of them graceful, with pink faces and smiles walking towards them.

Jia Amnesty only took one look, then frowned and lowered his eyes, avoiding his eyes.The four girls were indeed as Song Xi said before, they were dressed in white gauze, and in the green environment of the garden, the four white flesh moved over, it was really eye-catching.The most shocking thing was that these four girls didn't feel ashamed at all, and they were so calm while talking and laughing.

Song Xi's expression was still calm, drinking green plum wine for himself, and occasionally holding a bite of vegetables with chopsticks.

The four girls seemed to seldom go out, and they happily watched the beautiful scenery in the garden while walking. When they arrived in front of Dongping County King, they hurriedly saluted, very well-behaved.

The King of Dongping smiled and introduced them to Jia Amnesty one by one.

The four girls are named Xiang'er, Jiao'er, Yu'er, and Nen'er.It is easy to remember together, fragrant and tender.

The king of Dongping saw that Jia She was a little shy, so he hurriedly sent them to play first, and then apologized to Jia She and Song Xi.

"These four don't know the rules. No one has ever taught them this. I just like their innocent appearance. Please forgive me if I offended the two adults just now."

"My lord, you're being polite." Song Xi said he didn't mind.

The king of Dongping County smiled and asked Jia Amnesty which one he liked.

Jia Amnesty said no.

The king of Dongping County hurriedly said, "Since I agreed, there is no reason not to give it. If you don't accept it, you will look down on me. Choose one!"

Jia She frowned and looked at Song Xi.

Song Xi nodded, "Since the prince is so kind, I want one of the two of us."

The King of Dongping was stunned.He smiled and said, "You guys are also interesting in this way of playing."

Jia She was also stunned for a moment, only then did he understand the meaning of Dongping County King's words just now.The prince looked quite normal at first, but now he finally refreshed his three views.

"Then it's the oldest one." Jia She felt that the older ones would be able to remember more things.

But as soon as Jia She's words fell, the King of Dongping laughed, "Master Jia is still in a hurry."

Jia Amnesty was slightly puzzled by what the King of Dongjun said, but he didn't say anything.Finally, when the meal was over, Jia Amnesty sighed again and again as soon as he sat down in the carriage.

Zhu Mao came to ask the girl brought from the county palace how to deal with it.

"Send it to my house? There are so many people in your house, it seems inappropriate." Song Xi said.

Jia Amnesty nodded, then asked in puzzlement, "Why did I choose the oldest one, and the King of Dongping County said I was impatient?"

"Look at those girls who are only thirteen, fourteen or five years old. If you count as a 16-year-old Pogua, you want to be the oldest, so naturally you have to wait for a shorter time." Song Xi explained.

Only then did Jia Shen suddenly understand.

After arriving at the Song Mansion, Jia Amnesty immediately met the girl Xiang'er brought from the Wang Mansion.

Xiang'er came to see Jia Amnesty wearing a half-worn emerald green dress, and after saluting, she put on a forbearance, as if she was uncomfortable all over, and her complexion was very bad.

Jia She asked her why she felt unwell.

Xiang'er hurriedly kowtowed and begged Jia She not to let her get dressed, she was not used to it.

"Do you know the most obvious difference between humans and beasts?"

Xiang'er blinked her watery eyes and shook her head.

"People know how to be ashamed, and know how to wear clothes to cover their bodies." Jia She said.

Xiang'er was stunned for a moment, tears fell, and she knelt on the ground without saying a word.

"How long have you been in the county palace?" Jia She asked.

"Three years, when I was 12 years old, I was sent to the palace." Xiang'er choked up and replied.

"Who brought you here?"

Xiang'er shook her head, "The people in Meng's house are blindfolded, so they don't know who they are."

"Then tell me about where you came from and how you acquired this charm." Jia Amnesty asked again.

Xiang'er frowned and said: "Since I was sensible, I have lived in a big mansion. The nuns in the mansion taught us how to exercise softness, how to please men, how to play with the sex in the boudoir, etc. Guan Zhaizi There are three mothers, and they have no surnames like us, they are called Chunshui, Chunshan, and Chunhua. We usually only call them Shuimao, Shanmao and Huamao."

Immediately, Xiang'er responded to Jia Amnesty's request and told the general situation of the house.It is a courtyard built in a remote place, and the courtyard walls are as high as five or six people. In short, they are powerless little girls who have no ability to escape, and they can't see the outside of the house. .

"However, listening to the sounds outside, it seems like you are in a mountain forest. There is the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, and there are many insects and birds. I even heard a wild boar howling once." Xiang'er relaxed as she spoke. , with innocence shining in his eyes, and a lovely smile rippling on his mouth.She turned to look up at Jia She obediently, her eyes were full of a little girl's admiration for a big man, her eyes were shining brightly, if a normal man looked at him, he would feel love and affection in his heart.

It's a pity that Xiang'er sent the wrong love, Jia Amnesty didn't respond to her appearance, only lowered his eyes with a cold face, and wrote what Xiang'er said.He also asked Xiang'er how many girls were trained together with her.

Xiang'er: "There are four people in our courtyard, one person and one room. There are also two other courtyards, which are the same as ours. Then there is the big courtyard in front. There are a total of thirty or so little girls, all of whom are eight years old. Afterwards, you have to go through the teaching of the three nuns and pass the examination before you can live in a better courtyard like us after the age of eight. Those who are not selected will be sent out of the house immediately, and I heard that they are all sent to brothels to be prostitutes I'm going to be humiliated by many men, it's worse than our lives."

Jia Amnesty asked other questions, but Xiang'er didn't know much about it, so he asked someone to send Xiang'er down.

"Surprised?" Song Xi asked.

Jia Amnesty shook his head, then nodded again, "I've heard of the Yangzhou skinny horse, but this is the first time I've seen it."

"Indeed, even your government can't afford this," Song Xi said.

Jia Amnesty asked Song Xi the price.

Song Xidao: "Generally, it costs 8 to [-] taels of silver, but the ones like Xiang'er are more expensive."

"It's completely raising girls as men's playthings." Jia She frowned angrily, and put down the teacup in his hand heavily.

"There are too many strange things in this world, and that's why your "Secrets of the Neighbor" has been published one after another." Song Xi walked around behind Jia She, and gave him a squeeze on his shoulder.

Jia Amnesty grabbed his hand, "Stop comforting me, I'm afraid I'll have to pay the price soon."

"It's late." Song Xi bowed and bit Jia She's ear, "Do you think I'll let you go when you come to the Song Mansion?"

Immediately, Jia She felt itchy on the back of his neck...

The next day, Yushitai.

Jia She asked someone to look through the records of 20 maids who committed suicide 32 years ago from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There is not much information about them, and some of them did not even leave their names. How to die.These 32 court ladies all died within [-] days one after another, and some of them lived in the same room, so they committed suicide together.The rest committed suicide one by one.There are only three ways for everyone to commit suicide: hanging, jumping into a lake and throwing a well.

This kind of collective suicide is so strange that Jia She can't figure it out for the time being.I just wrote down the names of these maids who had left names in the notebook, and then wrote down the names of the masters of the palaces where these maids were located at that time, as well as the eunuchs in charge and the nuns in charge.

Jia Amnesty also found Dai Quan's name in it. He was the co-lead eunuch of the Fashion Bureau.

Two days later, the spies received news from the Cao family.During the period when Cao Lan was in prison in Gyeonggi Prefecture, Cao Lan's concubine, Cao Ban, the fifth eldest member of the Cao family, visited Shi Shi.After dark, Cao Ban was led by Shi's confidant woman, and entered the house through the back door. Cao Ban did not leave until late at night the next day.That night, the secret guard eavesdropped on the roof of Shi's room, and heard some ambiguous gasps of men and women, which confirmed that Cao Ban had an affair with Shi.

After lingering with Shi Shi for one night, Cao Ban was still not satisfied, so he hid in Shi Shi's house during the day on the second day, and tossed with Shi Shi several times before giving up.Later, when he was about to leave at night, he was still a little reluctant and left a jade pendant to Shi Shi.Shi Shi turned around and gave this jade pendant to the Cao family uncle. The quality of the jade pendant was not good, but Shi Shi excused that it was consecrated by an eminent monk and prayed for blessings, which was of great significance, and told Cao Qingming that he must wear it every day.

It can be seen from this that Cao Qingming is most likely Cao Ban's illegitimate son.

Jia Amnesty still couldn't figure out one thing, why Shi took the children to kneel in the Rong Mansion to intercede for Cao Lan that day.Obviously she has already had an affair with someone else, and the child under her knee is not her and Cao Lan's biological child.When Cao Lan was arrested, the danger of her being exposed was reduced, which should be exactly what she wanted.Why do you insist on asking Cao Lan to come out even at the expense of your own face?

When Jia She was puzzled, he got another message from the black pig.It turned out that among the servants of Cao's family, there were other rumors about Shi Shi secretly spread, that Shi Shi also had an affair with Cao Lan's nephew Cao Xing.

This Cao Xing was implicated in the case of Hu Laosan a few days ago and was sentenced to exile.It turned out that Cao Xing hated his uncle Cao Lan not only because Cao Lan treated him badly, but also because he had an affair with Shi Shi.

"This Cao family is really chaotic." Song Xi couldn't help laughing and sighing when he heard this.

"There is a green grassland above Cao Lan's head, he seems to be quite pitiful, but he himself is not innocent, how good-hearted can he be if he can do things like poisoning and scheming people?" Jia Amnesty also sighed, then turned around and said, "He is right. Concubine Xian is quite infatuated and willing to spend all her family's wealth."

"He deserves to be called infatuation? Over the years, he has had quite a few concubines in his mansion, and he has given birth to a bunch of children." Song Xi grabbed Jia She's hand, "The so-called infatuation should be 'Death and life are broad, and Zi Cheng Say 'love."

"Talk about the case carefully, and you're dragging the two of us again." Jia She laughed, but he really liked Song Xi's love talk.

Song Xi hooked Gou Jiashe's chin with his finger, asking him to remember this, no matter what it is from now on, they can't be separated.

"Mountains come to split mountains, water comes to cover them with earth; gods come to kill gods, and Buddhas come to kill Buddhas."

Jia Amnesty looked at Song Xi intently, and gradually smiled, then cupped his face and leaned forward to kiss him.

"With you, I always have a feeling of taking advantage, very happy."

Song Xi was stunned for a moment, grabbed Jia Amnesty tightly and refused to let him go, "Be clear, are you happy with me, or are you happy because you think you have taken advantage?"

"I don't know." Seeing that the more he cared about it, Jia Amnesty refused to tell him.

Song Xi didn't forgive Jia She, and pulled him into his arms, while undoing his clothes, he kept kissing his lips.This time his offensive was more violent than before, even the people below him were hoarse and grabbed his arm fiercely to signal him to stop, Song Xi didn't stop either.Until Jia Amnesty finally asked for forgiveness, Song Xi asked the previous sentence again.Hearing that Jia She said it was the former, Song Xi was naturally happy, hugged Jia She, then slipped his tongue into Jia She's mouth, and ruthlessly disturbed him.Jia Amnesty's body responded quickly again, and the two of them tossed violently on the couch again.

After a good night's sleep, Jia Amnesty felt relieved, but he was still sluggish, lying weakly on the couch, unwilling to get up.Jia Amnesty turned around and saw Song Xi put on his clothes energetically, and sat down to play the piano for him.Jia Amnesty couldn't help lamenting that he was really inferior in skills and physical strength, that's why he felt like he was falling apart at this moment.

Song Xi: "You can practice horse riding on weekdays."

Jia Amnesty nodded, thinking that he should find a hobby and exercise well.

"Two birds with one stone." Song Xi paused for a while, then added four more words.

Jia Amnesty froze for a moment, blushed, and glared at Song Xi fiercely.Song Xi lowered his eyes, his eyes were all on the strings, and his slender hands plucked the strings back and forth, elegant and beautiful.Jia Amnesty immediately forgot the previous anger and focused on those hands.

He probably couldn't get enough of this song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" in his whole life.

Jia Amnesty sighed inwardly, then struggled to get up, and had lunch with Song Xi.

Seeing Song Xi put down his chopsticks, Jia Amnesty put down his chopsticks, so he hurriedly asked him, "Last time I asked the king of Dongping County where these girls were bought, but he didn't tell me. Do you want me to find him again? Let me test it out." ?”

"I probably won't say it," Song Xi said.

"He won't give you face?"

Song Xi smiled, "I don't have such a big face. In the officialdom, people are troubled by others. Anyone can be polite on the surface, but when it comes to serious business, no one will give in."

"Serious business?" Jia She raised an eyebrow.

"I told you earlier that lanterns and women's sex are the two major hobbies of Dongping County King. He probably wants to get another beauty from the seller, and you are a doctor of imperial history, and you can be regarded as a disaster in the court. Xing, of course he won't tell you."

"Calamity?" Jia Amnesty repeated the word in surprise.

Song Xi couldn't help laughing again, "Why, you don't even know your new name?"

Jia Amnesty shook his head, he did not expect that he would have such a great influence in the court and even have such a dreaded nickname.It's a bit cool, there is a feeling that no one dares to provoke him, and everyone wants to avoid him.This is good, his ears will be clearer in the future.

In the afternoon, Jia She bid farewell to Song Xi and wanted to return to Rong Mansion.

Song Xi still refused and wanted to keep him for another night.Jia She could not follow him, he just said "I want to go to the field tomorrow" and hurried away, leaving Song Xi alone to reflect on himself.

Whenever Jia Zhen sent a deer to Rongfu, when she heard that Jia Amnesty was there, she hurried out from Jia Mu's place and came to see Jia Amnesty.Jia Amnesty asked Jia Jing how he was recovering from his injury, and knowing that he was able to go to the ground now, Jia Amnesty asked Jia Zhen to lead the way and went to have a look at him.

Jia Jing was lying on the couch with a book on alchemy and read it. When he heard that Jia Amnesty had come, he quickly asked someone to help him up.

Seeing this, Jia Amnesty hurriedly let him rest and asked him how he was recovering.

Jia Jing said: "everything is fine, the pain in the chest is not as bad as before, and although there are scars on the limbs, they can be used anyway, and I don't expect anything extravagantly. It's just recuperating here all day, and I can't practice in the Taoist temple. It's really boring. I'm thinking about going back in two days."

Jia Zhen hurriedly said no, she should wait for her illness to recover before leaving to make people feel at ease.Jia Jing immediately reprimanded Jia Zhen for being troublesome.Jia Zhen lowered her head in a muffled voice and stopped talking.He was originally polite and polite. Although his father was sick in bed these days, as long as he was around, he would not be as comfortable as when he was growing up alone at home.

"The Taoist temple hasn't been repaired yet, and you won't have a place to live when you go back. You'd better wait until your son has settled down there before going back." Jia She said.

Jia Jing was stunned for a moment, then remembered that his Taoist temple was destroyed by the bomb, and turned to stare at Jia Zhen, complaining that he didn't have the intention to deal with the aftermath.

Just as Jia Zhen was about to open her mouth, Jia Amnesty stood up and wanted to say goodbye. Before leaving, she advised Jia Jing to rest.

After leaving the house, Jia Zhen asked Jia She puzzledly: "Why didn't Uncle She let me tell my father just now, that Taoist temple has been repaired long ago."

Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Zhen coldly: "You know that it is a bad thing for him to concoct alchemy and eat it, but you still want to be an unfilial son?"

Jia Zhen pursed her lips and muttered unconvinced: "I've said everything I need to say. It's the old man who insists on going back. What can I do?"

"Sometimes for his own good, it's okay to use some extraordinary methods." Jia She said.

Jia Zhen was puzzled and asked what Jia Amnesty meant.

"Those pills, since your father cared so much, he must have brought them all back?"

Jia Zhen nodded.

"Think of a way to make him understand that these medicines are poisonous and can kill people!" Jia Amnesty pointed out.

Jia Zhen froze for a moment, rolled her eyes, then nodded her head to express her understanding. "But if this is the case, the master will live in the Ning Mansion forever. There are many people in charge of him, so why should I bother?"

"You bastard, you pretend to not understand even though you know your father will die from taking medicine. What's the difference between that and killing your father yourself!"

Jia Zhen held her mouth shut and pretended to be honest and silent, but there was not much guilt on her face.

Seeing this, Jia She sneered and said, "It's my fault. I actually thought you could be saved. Also, a man who can even miss his wife and sister has no sense of shame, just like a beast."

"Uncle She! How, how could you... say that about me?" Jia Zhen looked at Jia She in surprise with a look of disbelief on her face.

"I can say whatever I want, as long as you are like this, I can kill you." Jia She narrowed his eyes and stared at him coldly, "What can you do? You Ning Mansion is so worthless, it's so easy to have someone The master is promising, he was born as a Jinshi, but he is obsessed with alchemy in an attempt to live forever. The son doesn’t teach, the grandson doesn’t look at it. Naturally, the upper beam is not right, and the lower beam is crooked. Raising an unfaithful, unfilial, lewd and lustful son like you is a shame. Not surprising."

Jia Zhen stared wide-eyed, looked at Jia Amnesty in astonishment, and opened her mouth, not knowing what to say at the moment.It was the first time he heard such vicious words from someone else.

"Just like you, are you worthy of being the head of the Jia family? The head of the family should be the most respected and respected male elder in the family, and a role model for all the sons of the family. If you continue to be the head of the family, you will only be dirty." The entire Jia clan." Jia She let it go without saying anything, and expressed all his grievances as soon as he said it.

Jia Zhen was shocked again and again, with a choked expression on her face, she was speechless to refute Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty gave Jia Zhen a last blank look, then walked away with a cold snort.

Jia Zhen stood there alone in a daze, and she didn't come to her senses for a long time.

"Cough cough..."

Jia Zhen was startled when she heard the coughing sound, and turned around to see a green robe corner at the corner behind the corridor.Jia Zhen hurriedly asked who it was, and walked over to have a look.

"Father!"

Jia Jing was living on crutches, with his back leaning against the wall, covering his mouth with his hands and coughing.

Jia Zhen hurriedly supported Jia Jing, and asked him in a panic when he was here.

"It started when Uncle Shu said that you miss your wife and sister!" Jia Jing recovered, and roared, his face was red, showing that he was in anger.

Jia Zhen hurriedly knelt down and apologized to her father.

Jia Jing knocked on the ground with his crutches, gave Jia Zhen a hard look, and without saying anything else, staggered back to his room.In fact, Jia Jing didn't think much of what Jia She said about Jia Zhen just now, after all, Jia Jing knew what his son was doing.What Jia Jing really cares about is Jia She's accusation that he is addicted to alchemy and trying to live forever.Jia Amnesty also said that he was "not upright" and that was the fundamental reason why Jia Zhen was so bastard and dishonest.These words pierced Jia Jing's weakness like a knife, and also cut his face.

He Jia Jing lived his life in style, and in his later years, in order to live forever, he put aside the worldly things in front of him.It was supposed to be a higher, better and more glorious path, but now it is humiliated by Jia She's sentence, which is not as good as a rat crossing the street.Did he already look like this in the eyes of others?No, why should he care about the superficial judgments of these worldly people!How can they understand the high and difficult aspects of cultivating Taoism and alchemy? When he becomes a fairy, those people who look down on him will regret that they looked down on others!

Jia Jing wanted to understand this, and saw the maid brought nourishing chicken soup, Jia Jing drank it without saying a word, and asked the maid to order the kitchen to prepare more nourishing meals.He wants to get better soon, return to the Taoist temple as soon as possible, and continue to complete his great cause of alchemy.

That night, Jia Jing wiped his porcelain bottle containing the elixir, because he had to listen to the doctor's advice during this period, so as not to cause the medicine to collide and produce poison that would harm his body, so Jia Jing did not take the elixir during the period of recuperation.

Jia Jing really missed the taste of the elixir, sighed twice, and talked to the bottle, telling them to wait for a few days, and then he would eat them.Jia Jing then put the elixir bottle in the cabinet properly, placed it properly, and rested on the couch.

Jia Jing had been in a deep sleep for some time, when he suddenly heard a thud, he was startled, and immediately sat up from the bed.

The maids outside heard the sound, came in with oil lamps, and immediately saw the man in black lying on the ground, with bruised lips and bleeding from his orifices, and screamed in fright.Immediately afterwards, all the women and servants came, and when they saw the dead people on the floor of the house, they were all terrified.

Jia Jing was also very frightened. Suddenly there was such a hideous dead person in the room in the middle of the night, and everyone felt scared.

The maids rushed to help Jia Jing go to another room to rest.

After Jia Jing regained his composure, he found that the cabinet where he kept the elixir was opened, and the medicine bottle was gone.Jia Jing rushed over and saw that the medicine bottle in Hei Yi's hand was his own, but the medicine inside was already empty.

Jia Jing glanced at the dead face of the man in black again, his face was gray and blue, his lips were purple and black, and the blood from his seven orifices was bright red, it was really scary.

Jia Jing's heart trembled, and he couldn't help wondering if he died because he took his own elixir.

At this time, the maids had already helped Jia Jing out, and Jia Zhen hurried over.

Jia Jing sat in the hall.

Jia Zhen went into the house to look at the corpse, then sent everyone away, and only asked two young men to wrap the corpse in a straw mat and carry it out.Afterwards, Jia Zhen hurriedly came to ask how Jia Jing was doing.

"This man is a Qing guest from our house. His name is Sun Jicong. He has only been here for half a year. Like the master, he is a person who asks questions. He often reads books on seeking Taoism and alchemy. He also said that he will raise his son to marry a wife , he also wants to learn from the master and go to the temple to practice Taoism." Jia Zhen explained.

"Qing Ke?" Jia Jing looked at Jia Zhen in disbelief.His son doesn't study, so what kind of cleanser does he raise.

"Isn't Uncle She promoted to a high-ranking official a few days ago, so I have to interact with some royal family and dignitaries. I thought I couldn't hold back the Jia family, but in fact, I wanted to pretend and made two cleanups When I came to the mansion, on the one hand, it seemed that I could be more refined, and on the other hand, they could also give me advice on how to deal with those powerful people." Jia Zhen explained, "It's all my fault for my talkativeness, and I shouldn't talk nonsense about the master's practice skills. The elixir is good, I think this guy was moved after hearing it."

Then even a servant said that there were footprints on the windowsill of the rear window.He must have opened the windows in summer, so he took the opportunity to come and steal.

Jia Jing thought about what Jia Zhen said was reasonable, so he didn't doubt the purpose of the dead man's coming to steal the medicine.

Jia Jing suddenly thought that it was his elixir that caused the Qingke to be poisoned to death, and he became startled again, with mixed feelings in his heart, and it was difficult to accept the status quo for a while.If the result of his seeking Taoism and refining medicine for several years is like this, he is really stupid and makes the world laugh at him.No wonder Jia She used words to describe himself during the day today.It turns out that the pills practiced by Taoists are really poisonous?

Jia Jing's mood is very difficult to calm down now. After moving to the new room, he waved his hand to tell Jia Zhen and others to retreat, and he wanted to be alone for a while.

On the second day, Jia Jing was still in low spirits, his face was dull, and he remained silent.

After Jia Zhen finished greeting Jia Jing, she felt a little worried, so she came here to tell Jia Amnesty.

"I think the master was hit hard, and I'm afraid that he won't recover after a setback, and the result is not as good as living in a Taoist temple."

"No, your father's brain is very smart. It's just that he got into a corner and didn't think about it when it comes to cultivating Taoism."

Jia Zhen chuckled, "It would be best if it was like this. By the way, you scolded me so suddenly during the day yesterday that you almost thought it was serious."

"Although I didn't intend to scold you, but the words are not rough." When Jia Amnesty was talking to Jia Zhen yesterday, he accidentally found Jia Jing following him.Jia Amnesty immediately took the opportunity to scold Jia Zhen and ridicule Jia Jing.Words spoken under such circumstances are more effective than speaking directly in person, directly stimulating the listener and keeping them in mind.

Jia Zhen scratched her head in embarrassment, and said kindly to Jia Amnesty that he would definitely keep it in mind and make corrections.

"You just have to talk, it's useless, I just see what you do." Jia Amnesty sent Jia Zhen to take care of his father, but he didn't need to say anything else, just let Jia Jing calmly reflect for a few days yes.

As for that Sun Jizong who died in suspended animation, Jia Zhen originally asked him to act in this play because he was going to resign and return home.He was given an extra 100 taels of silver, and he was sent out of Beijing overnight last night.

……

The next day, on Lin Ruhai's birthday, Jia Amnesty came to greet him.

Lin Ruhai told Jia Amnesty that he wanted to find a boy with a good background to raise him in the mansion, and finally keep him as a door-to-door son-in-law.

"I first selected the candidate, and kept him in the government to educate him. Only when he grows up can he learn his character well, so I left him as my son-in-law. In this way, not only can I know his roots, understand his character, but also have a deep friendship and the grace of nurturing. He will definitely treat Daiyu well in the future, so I can completely feel at ease."

Jia She frowned and asked him when he had such an idea.
