[Red Chamber] Come for a hexagram?
Chapter 78
If the fortune teller ran away, it meant that someone had informed him of the news in advance.What Wang Ren said by "playing with others" doesn't mean that people are hard to catch, but...the person who reported the letter is probably inseparable from the elder brother or the eighth elder brother. Should they all be arrested?
With Shisan's help, the dossier was quickly reviewed.After handing over the dossier to the cold-faced Shaoqing, Wang Ren dug out a few coarse clothes from the cupboard in the bedroom behind the office, and changed into them.He didn't forget to loosen his hair and take off the fan and jade pendant around his waist.On his feet were a pair of rough cloth shoes that had been frayed, and his face was drooping.At first glance, it seems that he is a commoner with no ambitions and a poor family.
Thirteenth Master looked a little dumbfounded.
"Thirteen, do you want to change?" Wang Ren pulled out some coarse clothes and said, "Let's go fishing for Zhang Mingde together."
"Why are you wearing these?" Thirteen asked, taking the clothes.
"After all, I'm a colleague. I want to see his abilities. A true fortune teller doesn't judge a person just by his clothes." Wang Ren said, "You can tell whether he is a liar or not by just testing."
"I also want to wear this clothes and go to see his fortune with you?" Shisan said.
Wang Ren paused when he was packing the clothes, and then snatched the clothes from Thirteen's hands, packed them into the cabinet, found another set of clothes and handed them to him: "You're right, there's no need for two people wearing rough cloth Poor man. Here you are."
Shisan took another set of clothes, which was made of fine cloth and looked very luxurious, especially the little hat, which was inlaid with precious stones.However, no matter how good the fabric is, how soft and comfortable it is, it is also made of fine cloth, not silk.This is the common attire of businessmen.
Thirteen was helpless, so he turned his back to Wang Ren and changed the clothes together, because the clothes were all Wang Ren's size, and they were a little tight.Just as he turned around, Wang Ren stuffed his finger and big ring into his hand again.They are all made of emeralds and precious stones.However, Shisan touched it with his fingers and found that the material and color were not right.
"Don't look at it, it's fake. It's collected from street stalls with dozens of pennies. Thirteen, remember, your current persona is an upstart, a businessman who has made a lot of money."
"Aren't you afraid that this thing will be found to be fake?" Thirteen jokingly said while pinching the ring.Although some words were incomprehensible, it did not prevent him from understanding what Wang Ren said.
"It's better to find out that it's fake. Isn't a businessman who doesn't have the vision to waste money like a fat sheep?" Wang Ren said with a smile.
"I see." Thirteen nodded.
On the busiest street in Beijing.Zhang Mingde is setting up a small stall and waiting for the fortune-telling (confused).
Why...he wants to set up a small stall to tell fortunes in this hot world now?
He was still living in Floren's house, didn't he?In the morning, he was kicked out of the house.
Fu Lun went to court today, and when he came back with a gloomy face, he kicked open Zhang Mingde's bedroom door without knocking, waking him up.Facing Zhang Mingde's bewildered and puzzled eyes, Fo Lun suddenly changed his attitude after thinking about it, showing a happy expression instead, and warmly invited him to have breakfast.Then enthusiastically handed him the small fortune-telling table, stool and cloth fan, and then enthusiastically sent the person out the door, enthusiastically...the door was closed behind Zhang Mingde with a slam.
Zhang Mingde was dumbfounded.
Things were moving so fast that he couldn't get used to it.I just remember that Fu Lun said that since he is a fortune-teller and has already done the fortune-telling for Ba Ye, it is not good for Fu Lun to stay in this house, so he gave Zhang Mingde some money and sent him out, saying that he would not disturb the half-immortal. Continue to tell fortunes to people.
……What's the meaning?
Didn't he let him prove that Ba Ye was born noble?Why let him go out to tell fortunes?
Although the [-]-zhang monk was puzzled, Zhang Mingde went out obediently and set up a fortune-telling booth on the bustling street.The right is to earn some pocket money.Or... maybe the county king wants him to accumulate more fame?
After a while, Zhang Mingde finally got his first guest.It was a very good-looking young man, who seemed to be in his early 20s.It's just that there is some dust on his face, which looks dusty.Wearing coarse cloth clothes, the clothes are still clean, but the cloth shoes are tattered and full of mud.
"Master, I want to tell a fortune." The young man said timidly while sitting in front of the stall, "Look at my face, do I... have the destiny to become an official and get rich?"
Zhang Mingde looked at the young man's timid look, smacked his lips, and said, "Xuan. Look, your forehead is not full, and your eyes are big but dull. Long eyebrows, thick hair, this person is BLABLA... ..." Zhang Mingde opened his mouth and said a lot, and then said: "You are a life of hard work! But don't worry, this life can be changed. And although you have no official life, you have wealth luck. I will make a talisman with you , to ensure that your fortune will be prosperous within three years..."
The young man was overjoyed, and before he could speak, a young man wearing fine cloth clothes and several rings appeared. He shook his fan, grabbed the young man in coarse cloth clothes, pulled him by the arm, and kicked him up: "Wang Second, the Lord asked you to buy wine for me. What are you doing here? Are you looking to get rich? I think you will work for me for the rest of your life. How can you believe the words of such a charlatan!"
Zhang Mingde was immediately unhappy, a good deal was disturbed in this way, even if it was disturbed, he was called a charlatan!Zhang Mingde, who had already put a high hat on himself, refused to let it go, and said loudly on the spot: "My lord's words are wrong. Although I am not a god, I can be called a half-immortal. If you don't believe me, why don't you take a look at it? See if I'm right!"
"Oh~ Then you can do the math for me." The young man said, shaking his fan.
Zhang Mingde immediately looked at the other party's appearance and clothes carefully.She was wearing some fine cloth clothes, but they didn't seem to fit very well, they were a little tight.There are purses and jade pendants on the waist. The jade pendants are high-quality suet jade, and the embroidery on the purses is also exquisite.He also wears a lot of rings on his hands, but... they look like fakes.He is very handsome, and he is also full of extravagance.It's just... the temperament looks like aristocrats, but the clothes are a bit downcast in comparison.
Zhang Mingde thought for a long time, and then said: "Your family used to be a high-ranking official and aristocrat, and then broke down and made a living as a merchant, but made a lot of money. Now it is also a wealthy household in the capital. Right?"
The two young men in front of him looked at him silently.
"I'm not playing anymore, it's not challenging at all." Suddenly, the young man in coarse clothes patted away the hand of the handsome young man holding his arm, and straightened his clothes. , nonsense."
The handsome young man looked a little aggrieved: "You want to play. I told you from the beginning, arrest people directly."
"I need undeniable facts to be able to suppress the mouths of all the officials." The young man in coarse clothes said.
Zhang Mingde was stunned, and looked left and right. Although he didn't know what happened, he had a bad premonition.
"Is it all written?" Wang Er, no, it was Wang Ren who turned his head and shouted to the nearby teahouse.
A young man in an official robe shouted from the window: "Remember everything, my lord."
Zhang Mingde: ...My lord?
"Come on! Catch him!" Wang Ren gave an order, and a group of soldiers in official uniforms rushed out from nowhere and surrounded Zhang Mingde.
Zhang Mingde shouted in fright: "Wait, what did I do wrong? You, why did you arrest me?"
"Because you miscalculated your fate." Wang Ren reached out his hand to touch his bosom, and took out a token, "I am Wang Ren, the Minister of Dali Temple. Zhang Mingde, you have deceived the people and fooled the Holy Majesty. Your Majesty asked me to arrest you." You go back. It was just to try your skills. Take it away!"
"And... I don't know why my official luck is very good! But in comparison, my fortune is not so good." Wang Ren added.
Zhang Mingde was dumbfounded.
"Then this person is..." Zhang Mingde looked at the young man in fine cloth in horror.
"Your Majesty No. 13 son." Wang Ren reminded.
Zhang Mingde, who already understood what kind of vortex he was involved in, wanted to cry without tears, his face was pale, he panicked: "This...it has nothing to do with me, everything is..."
However, before he could finish speaking, he was knocked out by Master Thirteen.
Of course, he didn't do it to protect the elder brother and his gang, but some things cannot be spread in the market.Otherwise, if Kangxi got angry, Wang Ren would be accused of being unfavorable in handling affairs.
Afterwards, Zhang Mingde's case became much easier to handle.It has been proven before that Zhang Mingde is an incompetent charlatan, so the so-called eighth elder brother is born with nobility is not credible.As for the fate of this person, it is natural to ask to be killed.The matter was resolved quickly and neatly without causing any other disturbances, so the historian only briefly described the matter.But through this incident, the changes in the court are not insignificant.From here, Kangxi clearly discovered how powerful Ba Ye's methods of winning people's hearts are. How many civil servants in the court who like to play with pens tend to favor Ba Ge.Although they are all literati without much power, Kangxi still feels uncomfortable in his heart.So he secretly guarded against the eighth elder brother and entrusted the fourth master with a heavy responsibility, hoping that he could restrain the eighth elder brother.
For Wang Ren, the biggest change is that there are fewer officials in contact with him.The one with him is not the kind of official who has strong power and is not afraid that Wang Ren will tear him down, such as King Zhongshun.Or people who are really not dirty from the inside out, like Li Wei and the cold-faced Shaoqing.Or they were very close to Wang Ren in the first place, and they didn't need to hold back their face in front of Wang Ren. Anyway, they had already lost it, such as the thirteenth and fourth masters and Lin Jing.
After poking around for a while, Wang Ren found out that his circle of friends is really small, not to mention friends, the sum of those who are close to him does not have a double digit.
So pitiful.
Jia's family ransacked their homes and searched out many house deeds, land deeds and loan sharks.Among them, the usury loan was taken away as evidence.In addition to the evidence, people from Jia's house also took it away.Among them, Ningguo Mansion is the worst, there is no second house, and the men are all the masters of the Ningguo Mansion, so they are all taken away, only Youshi is left.Although Fourth Master didn't mess around in Ningguo Mansion, after Fourth Master left, Ningguo Mansion with only one mistress was left to be bullied, and the servants ran away with good things.There are only a few heartfelt old servants left in the Ningguo mansion, it is extremely pitiful.On the Rongguo Mansion side, Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian were escorted away.Jia Zheng was also suspended for investigation because of family affairs.There were also a group of women left in the Rongguo Mansion.Seeing that most of the things in her storeroom had been taken away, Mother Jia was startled and frightened, and immediately fainted.
The name of Jia Lian's new concubine is Zhang Lianyun, and she is a little cautious girl.She originally agreed to marry Jia Lian as a concubine because she saw that Wang Xifeng was not favored very much. When she overthrew Wang Xifeng in the future, Jia Lian would inherit the title.If not, how could she be willing to succumb to others.But who would have thought how long it had been since they married, why did such a thing happen in Jia's mansion?Don't talk about Madam Gaoming, I don't know what will happen in the future.The crown prince has lost power, and the family is also very difficult. She...
【Text·Continued】
The crown prince has lost power, and the family is also very difficult. Her father is actually ruthless when he looks good to the family. Was it because her father was trying to please her when she was sent to Jia's mansion?
Originally, she planned to marry Wang Ren, even as a concubine.This post has been sent to the Wang family a lot, but there has been no letter, and then there are rumors that Wang Ren can't do it...
Forget it, why think so much.Now she is Jia Lian's concubine, and she can't do without the big boat of Jia's mansion, and she will die if the boat sinks.Not to mention that she still has one in her stomach.
Zhang Lianyun paused for a moment.It is rumored that Wang Ren is not good, and she has not married a wife yet, and she still has a child in her belly, and now she is desperate, maybe she can...
She felt that she had thought of a good way.But if you really want to implement it, you must at least get online first.
Thinking of this, she immediately tidied herself up and went to look for Wang Xifeng while protecting her stomach.
