Quickly pass through and refuse to be cannon fodder

The master of Yongyihou's mansion thought that Yuan Jing stayed in the mansion honestly these days and didn't go anywhere, but he didn't know that he went out to have fun every day.

The play of Repaying Gratitude is known to more and more people in the capital. What makes Yuan Jing and his four dandies most happy is that even the queen mother in the palace knows about this play, and specially asked the troupe to enter the palace to sing a song. This made Bao En Ji even more popular in the capital, and even spread outside the capital. Everyone wanted to know what kind of drama even the Queen Mother liked to listen to.

This was an unexpected surprise for Yuan Jing and the others. Taking advantage of this wave of popularity, Yuan Jing released a hardcover version of the storybook of repaying gratitude. Of course, the contents of the hardcover version are the same, but there are many more illustrations Of course, the illustrations were drawn by Si Yao himself, so as soon as the promotion was published, it was enthusiastically received by book fans, and the [-]-volume hardcover edition was sold out in an instant.

Also on the market at the same time was the first volume of the book "Dream of Huang Liang", which was also sold out by the book fans who came to Si Yao, and many book fans who got the news came to the book shop to urge them, Xia Zhou had to Urge the workshop to print quickly.

Although Xia Zhou was so busy being spanked back and forth, he was extremely excited. He made a lot of money this time, and he had never grabbed so much money in his hand, and his mouth was grinning to the bottom of his ears.

The four of them gathered again in the courtyard behind Jinliebu, Xia Zhou sorted out the account book and showed it to Yuan Jing, and exchanged the silver for a bank note and handed it to him.

"Fourth brother will take me with him again in the future. I never thought that I could earn money like this. It turns out that earning money is so easy."

"Hey, there is no easy thing. That's what Yuanjing is capable of. Can we see the illustrations drawn by others? We Yuanjing may be able to live by selling paintings in the future."

At first Li Yan and Zhao Yu didn't know that Si Yao was Yuan Jing, but because of the rehearsal and the hardcover edition of Repaying Gratitude, he couldn't hide his identity any longer. The two were surprised but also happy for Yuan Jing. They knew that Yuan Jing's life in Yongyihou's Mansion was very embarrassing. Obviously, the title should belong to their eldest family, but because Yuan Jing was still young, the title fell to the head of the second room. When he grows up, the second room can see him pleasing to the eye?

It's great that Yuan Jing can earn money by himself now, and he has earned a lot of money. They are proud of their brothers.

Yuan Jing counted the banknotes in his hand, and this time he took a full 5000 taels. He said that this money was too easy to earn, and he earned thousands of taels just by repaying favors.

Why so many?Because the hardcover edition sold for ten taels of silver, if all 1000 taels were sold, it would be 1 taels. After deducting costs and other expenses, Xia Zhou also earned several thousand taels, so he was so happy from ear to ear.

After counting the bank notes, hand them over to Jing Lie, and ask him to help him run the house. He patted his chest and said, "Li Yan and Zhao Yu have contributed a lot to making so much money this time. Tell me, what do you want me to ask you to do?" , I take care of everything."

It's not good to give them the money, it's better to spend the money on other things. As for Jin Lie Cloth, it's already profitable, and they also get dividends every month. Although it's not much now, Li Yan and the others also see the future This money will definitely not be less.

"Haha, okay, then it's a deal, Zhao Yu and I will kill you this time." Li Yan looked like he was going to spend all the money in Yuan Jing's hand, and winked at the same time, and actually took the money away. All the tickets are handed over to Jing Lie, yo, Jing Lie is really a good wife.

"By the way, there is something strange to me," Zhao Yu said with a smile, and expressed his doubts, "In the story of gratitude, the prince disappeared on the battlefield because of amnesia, and this time it happens that your cousin, the prince, went to the border. Now that his life and death are still unknown, he didn't come back because of amnesia, and after a while, he also brought back a village girl who was his savior somewhere?"

"Fuck, this is really similar to the story in "Repaying Gratitude". By the way, Zeng Yuanxin also has a fiancée who is engaged. If he really brought a village girl back like in "Repaying Gratitude", then the girl from the Yu family Wouldn't it be bad luck for eight lifetimes?"

Xia Zhou hesitated and said: "No way, stories are stories, reality is reality, even if there is such a life-saving grace, just accept the life-saving benefactor, which wealthy family can marry a village girl as the wife? "

"What if Zeng Yuanxin loses his mind?" Li Yan didn't like Zeng Yuanxin at all, and often looked at himself like a fool, which made Li Yan extremely disgusted.

Seeing that the two men were discussing seriously, Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "I just said it casually, how can there be such a coincidence, you must know that Yuan Jing wrote the story first, and Zeng Yuanxin disappeared after going to the battlefield, unless Yuan Jing has a prophet means, right, Yuanjing."

Yuan Jing poked his head like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, I don't have the ability to predict things like this. You guys think too highly of me. I just want to find something to make money."

Li Yan and the others thought it made sense, but Jing Lie looked at these three guys like fools, and they believed what Yuan Jing said, and they would know when Zeng Yuanxin brought the village girl back a year later.

A few of them talked about the new gadgets in the capital. This month, a shop in the capital sold colorless and transparent colored glaze products. It’s quite a lot, and I’ve earned a few thousand before and after, but I heard that a piece of transparent glass products in that shop costs several hundred taels, and the most expensive one costs several thousand. Not exaggerating.

"I don't know who is the noble person behind this. I heard that many people are jealous of this shop and want to find out the source of this transparent glass. In the end, all the protruding claws were cut off. Anyway, now I can only confirm the owner behind it. The background is not small, but it is not clear who it is." Li Yan has the highest status and is the most well-informed about these news.

Yuan Jing and Jing Lie glanced at each other, they didn't expect the fifth prince to get the glass out so quickly, presumably Han Miao is very valued in the fifth prince's backyard now.

"Sooner or later, we will know who the owner behind this is. Who is the biggest person in our capital? Will such a good thing alarm the current princes? Once they make a move, can the owner behind it hide?" Yuan Jing reminded.

Li Yan clapped his hands and said, "That's right, but the cost of this glazed product is also very high. If the profit is not very high, then it is useless to snatch this thing."

"What if the cost is very low?" Yuan Jing laughed.

"How is it possible?" None of the three of them believed it.

Yuan Jing smiled and said nothing more.

You must know that the fifth prince has always kept a low profile. If the other princes knew that the owner behind this glazed shop was the fifth prince, and the cost of glazed products was extremely low, would they believe that the fifth prince kept a low profile and would not participate in the battle for the throne?

It is also a good idea to let the Fifth Prince reveal his ambitions in advance.

After meeting each other, everyone went back to their homes. Yuan Jing brought a few boxes of pastries and swaggered back to Hou Yongyi's mansion. He entered through the main entrance. After the concierge let him in, he slapped his forehead and asked the other person: "Today When did the fourth young master leave the mansion?"

The other person couldn't remember either: "I don't remember, did the fourth young master leave the mansion?"

"Did you just see a ghost? Didn't the fourth young master just come back from outside?"

"This……"

The concierge didn't dare to say anything, maybe they really misremembered and forgot the scene of the fourth young master leaving the house.

At this time, it has been almost two months since the news of Zeng Yuanxin's disappearance came back, and the people sent to the border here failed to find Zeng Yuanxin's whereabouts. Because of this, Mrs. Song fell ill again, and only recently got up to take care of the people in the mansion. In terms of affairs, even Zeng Jingshu has become much quieter, not as bossy as before.

The old lady used to be very handsome, but she has lost a lot of weight and aged a lot during this time, and she hasn't heard from her for two months. In the eyes of ordinary people, Zeng Yuanxin is no different from dead, otherwise Song would not will fall ill at this time.

Zeng Yuanxin is gone, maybe Zeng Kang's other concubines feel that the opportunity has come, Yuan Jing has seen his third cousin Zeng Yuanliu showing a happy smile from a distance, originally the concubine was cowed by Song's and Zeng Yuanxin's concubine, but Who would have thought that Zeng Yuanxin, the eldest son, would go away and never look back. After the first son is gone, it's not their turn to be the bastard?

As for Zeng Yuanjing, the eldest son's son, the second son's concubine did not regard him as a competitor, because in Zeng Yuanliu's and his group's view, their father would not let the title go back to the eldest family, so they are also his father's sons .

At this time, Yuan Jing sent the cakes he had brought back to various places, and several younger sisters also took part. Such actions did not attract much attention from the old lady and Mrs. Song.

Even Yuan Jing discovered that Zeng Yuanliu had changed, so how could the Song family not know about it?Just because she knew, she got up from the bed again. This marquis mansion can only be inherited by her sons. No matter how far those bastards go, she can't make them proud.

As long as she didn't see her son's body with her own eyes, she would never admit that her son was gone, and she had to guard the Hou's mansion for her son.

Zeng Kangxian Yuan Jing came back from outside the mansion one step at a time, and went to the old lady's place. The old lady was not as energetic as before, but seeing her son's eyes lit up, then dimmed again.

Zeng Kang was distressed, he went to the border well, and was going to make some military merits, but he didn't expect that it would be so long before no one was alive or dead.

He said with a bitter face: "Mother, how many people who went to the border came back, and they came back to report. Up to now, Xin'er's whereabouts have not been found, and my son is afraid..."

"Impossible!" The old lady threw a soft pillow in the past, not allowing him to say such unlucky words. Although she knew that no one could be found for such a long time, and the hope of surviving was extremely small, as long as she didn't see the bones for a day, she would still be dead. Can hold hope one day.

"Yes," Zeng Kang didn't argue with the old lady, "The rest of the people still stay there and continue to search, maybe..."

Two lines of old tears flowed from the old lady's eyes: "God, why is it so hard to get along with my Zeng's family? The boss and my eldest grandson died there, and now Yuan Xin is gone. Now I regret letting Yuan Xin go to the border. Even if you don't have any military merits, you can still live in peace in the capital, and you can still inherit the title in the future."

Zeng Kang comforted his mother: "I can't blame my mother for this matter. It was also Xin'er who wanted to go to the border to make contributions. He wanted to follow his father's footsteps."

The nun at the side wiped away tears for the old lady. The old lady leaned back on the chair with her eyes closed, and opened her eyes after a while and asked, "What did the palace say?"

Zeng Kang shook his head: "My son has already handed over the paperwork, but until now, there is no movement from His Majesty."

Zeng Kang made a plea to the emperor, even if his son has not been found yet, but Zeng Yuanxin not only failed to make meritorious service in the past, but also caused hundreds of people to lose their lives, and the Yongyi Hou Mansion will also be held accountable, so Zeng Kang is worried about his son He has to worry about the whereabouts of the Hou family and the future of the Hou family.

At this time, Yuan Jing was out to ask for a meeting, and he was giving the old lady some snacks to show his filial piety. When he went in, he saw his second uncle Zeng Kang there, and said hello obediently.

Zeng Kang, who was worried about the future of the Hou Mansion, suddenly had a thought in his mind when he saw Yuan Jing's beautiful face, and then he took a tight breath, clenched his fists in his sleeves, maybe the future of the Hou Mansion is about to fall. On my nephew, will only the mother agree?

No, for the sake of the future of the Hou family, it is impossible for the mother not to agree.
