[Red Mansion] Sir, I'm a rough man

Rongguo Mansion, Rongxi Hall, Jia Zheng sat on the grand master's chair, sighing.

Mrs. Wang came in from the door, dismissed the servant girl, changed Jia Zheng to a cup of hot tea, and said: "Master, what's the matter today, it's a rare holiday, the old lady is happy, and the empress even sent lantern riddles from the palace...

"Now that the empress is in the palace, she is in her prime. In the past, the father-in-law only knew to ask for money, so how could he be so polite?

"Why is the master not happy?"

Jia Zheng opened his mouth, but halfway through he waved his hand weakly, and said: "You are a woman, what's the use of talking to you?"

Mrs. Wang said: "Although I don't understand political affairs, don't I still have my brother? No matter what, a letter will be enough?"

Jia Zheng shook his head and sighed: "This time, brother-in-law is too far away to save the fire!"

Mrs. Wang sat down beside him, frowned and said, "What happened? Wouldn't it be more worrying if the master didn't say anything?"

Jia Zheng slammed his fist on the table: "It's not that evil!"

Mrs. Wang was startled, and said, "What trouble did Baoyu get into again?"

Jia Zheng shook his head and sighed, "I'd rather be Baoyu."

When Baoyu got into trouble, the big deal was to get close to a few girls at home, and make friends with a few actors outside... But what about that one?

Offending the Supreme Emperor, offending Prince Zhongshun, and... oh!

The scene I saw on the street before flashed through my mind. The young man was holding a blood-dripping scimitar. Surrounded by the Huns, he ran into the flock like a tiger. After being hacked by him, Mr. He from Wucheng Bingmasi almost knelt down and kowtowed to him in order to make him stop...

How dare he!

That is the envoy of the Huns!

This is going to be a big deal!

No matter how much the emperor loves him, how can he tolerate his reckless behavior?

A catastrophe! A catastrophe!

Ugh!

When the child was young, he was obviously very well-behaved. Although he was in poor health, he was more at ease than anyone else. Why did he come back from Yangzhou after a few years and become the devil king of the world?

Compared with Baoyu, the demon king of his family, he is as obedient as a sheep.

Jia Zheng closed his eyes and sighed, but he didn't open his mouth. First, he didn't want to scare the women at home. Second, this matter was too big. Not to mention whether Wang Ziteng was in Beijing, even if he was in Beijing, he couldn't handle it...

Suddenly he opened his eyes and said, "Go get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and I'll write a letter to Yangzhou."

Mrs. Wang let out an "ah" and said tentatively, "The one who worries the master is the Wange from the East Mansion?"

Jia Zheng said impatiently, "Women, why do you ask so many questions? Also, Yizhi is now a military officer of the third rank in the imperial court, so don't play around with me anymore!"

Mrs. Wang agreed, but she became more and more sure that there was something wrong with the East Mansion, which caused trouble here.

Jia Zheng picked up the pen, tried it a few times but didn't know how to draw ink, couldn't help but sighed again, and saw Caiyun enter the door, saying: "Master and wife, I just came to report from the second door, saying that Dongfu is playing with the second master." I'm back home."

"Hurry up, hurry up..." Jia Zheng threw away his pen in the middle of speaking, got up and said, "Forget it, I'll go there by myself!"

Just as he was hurriedly putting on his big clothes and preparing to go out, another servant hurried over and said, "Master, master, someone is coming from the palace!"

Jia Zheng's heart skipped a beat, Mrs. Wang got up and asked, "Is there any order from your majesty?"

The servant said: "No, it's an imperial envoy sent by the emperor with an imperial edict!"

With the imperial decree... It's over, it's over!

Jia Zheng was dizzy for a while, Madam Wang hurriedly helped him up, and repeatedly arranged for the servants to entertain the imperial envoy, set up an incense case, and report to Jia to pardon Jia's mother and other matters.

Two quarters of an hour later, everyone in Rongxi Hall was beaming with joy, but Jia Zheng was in a daze: He... was promoted?

He entered the official position through grace, and he was not a person who was good at making money. He stayed in the position of Yuanwailang for ten years, with little hope of promotion. Why is he promoted now that Jia Wan has caused a catastrophe?

what 's wrong?

I was uneasy, and even the joy of promotion was diluted a lot.

Over there, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were talking to the imperial envoy beamingly. The topic naturally revolved around the virtuous concubine in the palace. Jia Zhen was suspicious: Could it be that Yuan Chun was favored, so the emperor supported her family?Otherwise, the promotion of a mere Yuanwailang would require the emperor's decree?

The imperial envoy came over with a smile and said, "Congratulations, Master Jia."

Jia Zheng cupped his hands again and again: "Don't dare, thank you, Wang Gonggong."

The prince smiled and said: "To tell the truth, Mr. Jia, our family has other errands on us, can you borrow a word?"

Sure enough, there is something inside.

Jia Zheng hurriedly led Wang Gonggong into the flower hall and sent him back to the left and right. After hearing Wang Gonggong finished speaking, Jia Zheng was so messed up that he almost doubted his life: his nephew Jia Wan and Yong'an Hou Shizi beat the Huns hard, The emperor sent the right prime minister to lead the two adults to apologize, because his official position is too small, and he is a bit helpless, and he has made great contributions in "persuading the fight" today, so he was promoted to be a doctor...

To be promoted for such a reason!

Wang Gonggong coughed dryly to call his attention back, and said: "The emperor has ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare the gifts needed for this trip, Mr. Jia only needs to go over and say a few good words.

"Those Huns suffered heavy losses, and their words may not be pleasant to listen to. Lord Jia, please bear with me. If this errand is handled well and the Emperor sees it, Lord Jia will have a bright future in the future..."

What else can Jia Zheng say besides only being right?

Then he asked anxiously: "Then Yizhi..."

After causing such a big disaster, I don't know how the emperor will deal with it, seize the title?Go to office?Or... Jia Zheng didn't dare to think deeply.

"Your Majesty Jia, don't worry," said the prince, "the emperor is in a fit of anger at the moment, so it is inevitable that he will be a little harsher. Later, please persuade Mr. Jia to let... little Mr. Jia study in the study for the time being. When the emperor's anger subsides, it will be natural." I will transfer him back, like the angry words of 'the old man is in the study', but don't say it again..."

After sending off the prince, Jia Zheng was in a daze.

Only now did he know that a few years ago, all the teenagers in the capital had overtaken their places in the study room, and it turned out to be a punishment...

His cousin's nephew got into such a big disaster and was "punished" to study in the study room. He was not grateful, but even challenged the emperor, claiming that he would "die of old age in the study room"... What is this?

Jia Zheng seriously doubted whether the court where Jia Wan lived was the same as the court where he stayed.

He shook his head, didn't think about it anymore, quickly changed into his clothes, went to meet with Lord Right Prime Minister and Lord Yong'an Hou, and apologized for a certain ineffective junior.

……

In the largest restaurant in the capital, Jia Wan and Zhou Kai were sitting by the window, looking at the busy traffic below - on the floats, there were so many beauties, it was dizzying to see.

Zhou Kai slapped Jia Wan on the shoulder, and said, "How about the place I chose? In the whole capital, there is no place that is more spacious and has a better view!"

Jia Wan was gnawing on the chicken leg while looking at the beauty, absent-mindedly said: "Not bad."

I don't even know what to say.

Zhou Kai proudly said: "That's right, I don't even look at who snatched me from it. I climbed up to the third prince by relying on it. How dare I compete with me and bully him and me!"

Jia Wan glanced at him and said, "It's just a light, what about it?"

"You don't understand," Zhou Kai said, "It has nothing to do with big or small things. When it's time to give up, don't be reluctant to give up the great benefits. When it's not time to give up, don't give up an inch."

Jia Wan said, "I don't understand, and I don't want to understand."

Zhou Kai said: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, anyway, there is a master covering you...

"Tsk tsk, look at that, she's actually less afraid of the cold than you, she looks so pitiful, if it wasn't on the street, I would definitely go down and warm her...

"Tsk tsk, this figure, this small waist... A Wan, you have good eyes, look at what is written on that lantern, so you can go back and patronize... I was just looking at people!"

Jia Wan casually said, "Lan Chu Pavilion."

Zhou Kai was choked by his own saliva, and he couldn't catch his breath even after coughing.

Jia Wan poured water for him: "What happened to Lanchuge?"

Zhou Kai's face turned blue and purple, he shook his hands, and said with difficulty: "It's okay...it's okay...it's okay..."

Three in a row were fine, Jia Wan glanced at him, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued to eat chicken legs and watch the lamp.

He has a strong taste and likes salt and spicy food. Other dishes in this restaurant are fine, but the chicken drumsticks are marinated just right, which is just right for his appetite.

Zhou Kai regained his strength, and even lost his interest in looking at the lights. He said, "If you don't watch such a lively event, you still want to eat."

Jia Wan was watching the lights while eating, and said, "Fighting is very exhausting, okay?"

Fighting plus healing consumes more energy than the last martial arts competition in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. He is not only hungry, but also sleepy, but he can go back to sleep again. The Lantern Festival only comes once a year, so it would be a pity to miss it.

The few cars behind were nothing interesting, Zhou Kai lacked interest, poured a glass of water for Jia Wan, and said, "Didn't you ask me about the background of the nine-door admiral surnamed Wei? He is a close friend of the Supreme Emperor, and he controls it for him." Part of the military power in the capital."

Jia Wan let out a "hmm", knowing that Wei Hongsheng was just an introduction, so he quietly listened to him continue talking.

"There was no child in the middle palace back then, and the relationship between the emperor and the empress was not good," Zhou Kai said, "The empress, who is also the current empress dowager, decided to marry her niece to the third prince whose biological mother died young, who is now the emperor.

"The emperor didn't show his face back then, even the empress dowager didn't think highly of him, so she married her niece to him just to let him take care of the second prince born to Concubine Xian... Dowager Xian is the empress dowager's biological sister.

"Later, the Supreme Emperor suffered from a stubborn illness for some reason, and when he was busy with government affairs, he would have a lot of headaches. Later, he was almost unable to manage affairs at all, and the succession of the throne was put on the agenda.

"The battle of several princes was turned upside down, the first prince was eliminated early and was exiled from Beijing, leaving only the second and fourth princes, who are now Prince Zhongshun, fighting for the throne.

"Although the Supreme Emperor loves the fourth prince born out of the noble concubine the most, but the second prince's mother has a powerful family, and is well-known in the court, with many supporters, the Supreme Emperor cannot make a decision for a while.

"After a stalemate for more than half a year, the second prince suddenly fell off his horse and died while playing polo. The empress dowager's family insisted that it was the fourth prince's fault... In order to avoid turmoil in the court, the Supreme Emperor simply made the third prince emperor.

"Not long after that, the Supreme Emperor regretted it. First, after he abdicated, his headaches healed without any medicine, and he began to miss the taste of power. Second, his new emperor was too disobedient and stubborn in everything. Don't give him too much face.

"The Supreme Emperor wanted to teach him a lesson, and even abolished him directly, and made Prince Zhongshun the emperor, so he began to hold back the emperor."

Jia Wan nodded, he had already seen the backstabbing when he was in Yangzhou, and watched them fight through Lin Ruhai and the salt merchants with his own eyes.

Zhou Kai continued: "Where is the status of the Supreme Emperor, and the civil and military affairs of the whole court are almost all his people, the emperor can only win over his wife's family, and the forces left by the previous second prince, and barely contend with the Supreme Emperor. So the previous situation in the court, It has always been three-point world."

Jia Wan said in surprise, "You mean...before?"

Zhou Kai nodded and said, "The Supreme Emperor decided last night to move to the Hot Spring Palace for a long-term stay."

Jia Wan whispered: "Because of Prince Zhongshun?"

Zhang Han's body was only found yesterday afternoon, and the Supreme Emperor decided to move to the Hot Spring Palace in the evening.

Zhou Kai took a sip of water and said, "The matter of Prince Zhongshun is the last straw.

"In these years, the Supreme Emperor is getting older and older, and his control over the court is becoming more and more incapable. Under the ebb and flow, it will be a matter of time before he is eaten away.

"This time Prince Zhongshun had an accident, the emperor's toughness shocked him, and Prince Zhongshun's stupidity also made him disheartened, maybe he finally figured it out."

"The Supreme Emperor is far away from the government, and the position of Admiral of the Nine Gates will definitely be replaced by his own people, so this search for assassins is Wei Hongsheng's last chance... It's a pity that he tried in the wrong direction and even suspected you .

"He didn't even think about it. No matter what you do, you can't be the queen's person. How could you go to assassinate the eldest son of the emperor?"

Jia Wan said: "You mean, the person who assassinated the eldest son of the emperor belonged to the empress?"

Zhou Kai snorted coldly, curled his lips and said, "Who else could there be besides her? Because my aunt is the queen mother, and the emperor's accession to the throne depends on her mother's family, she is so arrogant... At the beginning, even the emperor didn't put her on the throne." in the eyes.

"Zhao Yi is also unlucky to have such an aunt. At the beginning, she put Zhao Yi's biological mother to death within three months after entering the house. Later, the emperor ascended the throne and proposed a candidate for the crown prince. Of course, the emperor would not support the queen's second choice. The prince deliberately brought out Zhao Yi to fight with them.

"It didn't take long for Zhao Yi to have an accident, and he was rescued after more than half a year, and he was tortured beyond human form.

"The emperor was furious, and even claimed to abolish the empress, but the emperor had just ascended the throne at that time, and his throne was not stable, so he had to bear it at last, but the empress had learned a lesson, restrained herself a lot, and began to lie low in front of the emperor, please him.

"However, these are all superficial phenomena. Now that the Supreme Emperor has retired and no longer needs checks and balances, Zhao Yi's legs are getting better again, and his true colors will be revealed immediately."

Jia Wan said: "Hasn't the assassin been found yet? How do you know it must be the queen's person? Maybe it's not necessarily because someone framed him?"

Zhou Kai said: "The assassin has not been found, but someone has already recruited.

"Xiang'er, the close girl next to Zhao Yi, belongs to the queen. Zhao Yi was so clever this time, she cheated. When the Ministry of Justice came to ask for someone, he handed over another girl named Xiang'er. The girl was quietly handed over to Manager Liu.

"As soon as the sentence was mobilized, she was recruited. She has been with Zhao Yi for more than ten years, and she has done a lot of things. Not to mention anything else, she was the one who put the assassin in."

Jia Wan lowered his head and drank his tea: Don't say it, he was really put in by Xiang'er.

Zhao Yi's trick is so good!

"As for the one sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he died before the trial started... Otherwise, why did you think Zhao Yi spoke for us just now? He was deliberately trying to make things difficult for the Minister of Criminal Justice!"

Zhou Kai walked on the edge of the knife today, his mood was agitated, and he was grateful to Jia Wan, so he shook off the words that he would not say outside when he was suffocated in the past, because he was afraid that Jia Wan would not be able to recognize the upward situation. I suffered a lot.

Now that the "gossip" was finished, Zhou Kai returned his attention to playing, and said, "The floats of the largest buildings in the capital have all passed, and the rest is not interesting. How about we go down and have a look?"

Jia has nothing to do with himself.

There is nothing else on the street, except that there are many people in the lanterns. Jia Wan has never been so lively in his previous life, and the atmosphere in the south of the Yangtze River is also different from that in the capital.

He walked along the crowd and watched, spending money to buy some gadgets from time to time. When he came back to his senses, how could there be Zhou Kai around him?

The big man would not get lost, and Jia Wan didn't bother to look for it. He continued to watch the fun while eating candied haws, and soon he was attracted by a revolving lantern.

The lamp is not very unusual, it is divided into two layers, the inner layer is painted with flowing clouds and morning glow, and the outer layer is the flying fairies with different postures.Scattering flowers, blowing the flute, playing the piano, or playing around, with the heat rising from the lamp, the fairies are playing and swimming in the flowing clouds, with their colorful skirts fluttering, so happy.

After looking at it for so long, this lamp is undoubtedly Jia Wan's favorite. Unfortunately, if you want to get it, you have to make a poem that satisfies the host.

How could Jia Wan have such a talent for poetry? He had memorized a few poems in his previous life. "Suddenly looking back" and "dimmed lights" were enough to kill everything, but he didn't want to take them out to change the lights. It wasn't because of moral problems, but just I want to keep something in my heart silently.

He didn't have the ability to win the lamp himself, so he could only watch helplessly as the master took it down and handed it to others.

Jia Wan turned and left with some regret, and after only a few steps, he saw the group of flying beauties being handed to him.

Jia Wan was stunned for a moment, reached out to pick it up, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Highness."

The man didn't let go, and a hoarse voice came from the side: "Do you know it's me?"

Jia Wan looked at the tall man wearing a half mask, and said casually, "I recognize your hand."

Then I saw the man's exposed chin, ears, and neck suddenly turn red.

Seeing that he still didn't let go, Jia Wan had no choice but to let go, saying: "Reluctant?"

Zhao Yi said hoarsely, "Do you like it?"

Jia Wan looked at him suspiciously, and said, "If I say I like it, will you take it back and say 'I won't give it to you'?"

Zhao Yi said seriously: "If you don't like it, I'll take it back and look for it again... This is the first time I give someone a gift, so be careful."

Jia Wan said: "Didn't Your Highness send me a few carts of medicine during the day?"

Zhao Yi shook his head: "That's different."

Jia Wan said "Oh", and reached out to catch the lantern again. This time, Zhao Yi retracted his hand quickly, and walked forward side by side with him.

Jia Wan said, "Can you sneak out to go shopping at this time?"

If you are not careful, years of hard work will go to waste.

Zhao Yi said: "Since I 'killed someone in my dream' five years ago, no one has dared to break into my room at night, let alone..."

Seeing that he didn't continue talking, Jia Wan turned his head to look at him in surprise, Zhao Yi said in a low voice, "I don't want to say those bad things, let's watch the light."

So look at the lights.

Zhao Yi is not a talkative person, and Jia Wan is not very good at finding topics, so the two of them just strolled together without feeling bored.

The moon was in the middle of the sky, and the people on the street gradually decreased. Jia Wan stopped, but Zhao Yi didn't notice that he took two steps forward, and turned to look at him again.

Jia Wan said, "It's getting late."

Zhao Yi said "Oh" after a while.

Jia Wan said, "It's time to go back to bed."

Zhao Yi said, "I can't sleep."

Jia Wan said: "Your Highness should say 'goodbye'."

There is no such thing as "I can't sleep" in the polite words of farewell.

Zhao Yi said again: "I can't sleep."

Jia Wan sighed and said, "So?"

"I……"

"Don't even think about it!"

Zhao Yi pursed his lips and said for a while: "Eight years ago, I started to suffer from insomnia since I got off the boat. It was about the same as choosing a bed. It will get better after a long time. medicine……"

He paused, and said: "I've been using it like that for eight years, and once the medicine is stopped, I can't sleep anymore."

Jia Wan said, "You became like this because of insomnia?"

Zhao Yi nodded.

"The imperial doctor can't do anything?"

Zhao Yi nodded.

"Okay, I'll figure it out," Jia Wan rubbed his forehead and repeated, "I'll figure it out."

For the sake of those cars of medicine.
