Red House Farm Stay

Jia Zhuo thought so much, but in fact, it was only a few breaths.As the teacup fell to the ground, Ping'er took out a packed package from the corner of the bed and stuffed it into Jia Zhuo's arms.

"Go to Andu Mansion to find Baner, you don't want to come back."

"Ah..." Jia Zhuo didn't react for a while, "You mean, let me go? Then what about my father?"

If there is no Jia Lian, An Ge is still so young, how can Ping'er support himself.

"I know your father. Don't look at him joking and joking. He wants to get involved in any bad things. In fact, he is not a cruel person. He can't do such a thing as exchanging his daughter for him. Even if I agree, wait for him If you really come out, you will find me desperately."

Everyone knows what kind of person King Zhongyong is, and what kind of relationship he has with Jia Rong. When it has nothing to do with him, he can only joke about being romantic.But if you really want to marry your daughter to him, it's not romantic, it's obscene.

Jia Zhuo put the burden back on the table, "I will not leave, nor will I marry him. If he comes again later, don't let him in."

"Sister Qiao, since he dares to make this request, he will definitely make it impossible for you to refuse. I know you are very capable and smart, but he is different from the people you have met before. He is powerful and powerful. More importantly, the means will be used to achieve the ends.”

Ping'er was very anxious, this is no joke, she is a woman, how can she protect Jia Zhuo thoroughly.If there is a mistake, how will she explain it to Jia Lian?

"Actually, you missed a little bit. He is still very smart." In fact, there are no stupid people in Jia's family.Look at the present, Jia Lian can figure out so many things after being in prison. After Jia Rong's family changed, and he has been in business until now, who dares to say that he only knows how to eat, drink and play.

Even if his long history is due to his relationship with King Zhongyong, King Zhongyong has never been a long-term lover. The male favorites around him come and go, but he can stay by King Zhongyong's side until now, and he is getting more and more popular. Reuse is by no means an easy task.

She used to underestimate Jia Rong too much, she only set her eyes on Wang Ren, thinking that Jia Rong was his little follower, but now she looked at them all.Jia Rong is the leader of everything, and Wang Ren is at best his pawn.

"Smart?" Ping'er looked at Jia Zhuo suspiciously.

The two talked in secret for a long time before Jia Zhuo came out from the main room. Fu'er was guarding the door the whole time. As soon as she followed her back into the room, she hurriedly said: "Miss, a person came today. Once he leaves, something is wrong with Madam."

"I know. When my father comes back, I will tell my wife to let you redeem yourself. Are your family ready?"

"The servant's parents are gone, and there is a cousin who promised to redeem me." Fu'er narrowed her eyes when she heard the joke.

"Your cousin still has a son who is your childhood sweetheart." Jia Zhuo joked casually.

"How did Miss know?"

Hey, she said it casually, if she knew what she said, she would have said something else.

Ping'er entered the palace the next day, while Jia Zhuo went straight to Huo Shangshu.

In the palace, Jia Peng looked at the woman in front of him sullenly, "Didn't I tell you to keep a low profile these days? Why did you enter the palace again, for fear that others would not know that you are running for the second brother?"

Ping'er almost didn't know this person anymore, and Jia Lian had nothing to say to this half-sister even though Jia Lian was wrong in every way.Even Lian's second grandmother, Sister Feng, took good care of her.Not to mention how many things Jia Lian has done for her in private and how much money he has collected in the past few years. Outsiders look at Jia Lian's beauty, but only Ping'er knows that they are just passing money.

In return, it was such unfeeling.

"Your Majesty, if it's not urgent, how dare I disturb you, it's about your empress, so I have to come." Ping'er stood up from the embroidered pier, and knelt down with a "boom".

"What do you mean, it's about my palace? Don't scare me with words." After all, Jia Peng is a woman. She has the experience of competing for favor in the palace in her previous life, and she firmly holds on to the emperor's favor. The situation is not something she can guess.

She thought that after reliving her life, everything changed. Look, King Suqing didn't send troops to Jinling, so she thought that everything was safe.But I didn't think about it, the source of chaos in this world is still there, and the hidden dangers have not been eradicated, so how can the ending be really changed.

"Second Master was framed. I thought it was because he made friends carelessly, but after Jia Land's investigations, it turned out to be related to King Zhongyong. And it was Jia Rong who was hiding behind and manipulating all this."

"Jia Rong?" Jia Peng twitched the corners of his mouth. He knew that Jia Rong sold the girl from the clan while he was raiding the house, and he also knew that he later joined the Zhongyong Wang Renchang Shi.But in her eyes, this kind of person is just a dog and horse, an actor-like thing, and she doesn't pay attention to it at all.

"Jia Rong's plan is for the entire Jia family. As long as the second master and Brother Lang are dragged into the water by this incident, he can take over the Jia family as a direct branch. For the empress, it means cutting off the outsiders. an arm."

If there is anything Jia Peng lacks, it is that she lacks a strong natal family and someone outside to help her.Now there is Jia Lian, who can lower her profile to help her raise money. There is Jia Lan, a young talent who was born in the imperial examination, who is tolerant of both literary and martial arts, and is naturally used by her.Those who gather around Jia Lan will also be the help of the Seventh Prince in the future.

"Lang Ge also said that Jia Rong had two ideas. While helping the King Zhongyong, he was pleasing the Empress. Because the King Zhongyong would never be able to make him a duke, but the Seventh Prince could, so he could use this to convince the Empress Believe in him. Then, control all the power and manpower of the empress outside. It is said that King Zhongyong has promised him to go to the army to be gilded, and to compensate him with military merits."

Jia Peng's face flushed, she really thought so just now, Jia Rong could benefit from following King Zhongyong, she could persuade him to defect.But he didn't expect that King Zhongyong would agree to make him a marquis, and the advantage of the Seventh Prince would be gone.

"How can I believe what you said is true." Jia Peng finally calmed down, thinking whether this matter was the first step of King Zhongyong's attack on the Seventh Prince.

"There is no evidence, whether you believe it or not, it's all true." Ping'er shook his head, "Brother Lang took a great risk to find out about this, and if he is a little careless, he may be killed on the spot. Your mother may as well Come to think of it, isn't that how things are going?"

Deliberately guiding Jia Peng, this was overheard by Jia Lan.

Jia Peng admitted that even if Jia Rong and Zhongyong Wang hadn't thought about it, once Jia Lian and Jia Lan fell, things would go on like this.And the result of the development is the most unfavorable to the Seventh Prince.

"Tell Jia Lan not to get involved, why is he still involved." After Jia Peng finished speaking, he also thought that if Jia Rong did it on purpose, then if Jia Lian fell, Jia Lan would be next.The seasoned Jia Lian didn't escape the plot, so how could Jia Lan escape.

Jia Peng was in a state of confusion for a moment, and his brows frowned.

"Besides, Jia Rong came to our house in person and offered to exchange Qiaojie's life for the second master."

"Sister Qiao?" Jia Peng's IQ finally came online, "He wants Sister Qiao to be King Zhongyong's successor."

"Zhuzi." Jia Peng punched the table.

"The Emperor is here."

Ping'er stood up quickly, and was led by her aunt to the side hall to escape.

Why did the emperor come here at this time, Jia Peng wondered in his heart, and one morning he was full of smiles, "Your Majesty, how do you know that my concubine is making soup for you, if you order it, someone has informed you."

As he spoke, he blinked mischievously, making the emperor laugh out loud.

"Yes, it's all his whistleblowing, and he can't even walk if he talks about the fragrance." He said and looked at his father-in-law who was following him.

"Isn't this old slave who got the soup from your mother last time, and has been craving it until now?" The father-in-law gave himself a light scratch on the ear, trying to make fun of it.As expected of Wannian's fan, I don't know how smooth it was.

"You can't do without you, hurry up and let the father-in-law go down to rest." Jia Peng laughed loudly, asked someone to bring the soup, and personally brought it to the emperor's hand.

"Don't drink for now. Let me tell you something happy. Does your natal family have a niece who hasn't been engaged yet?"

"Your Majesty is talking about my second brother's daughter? She's already engaged, and Mr. Zhou and Huo Shangshu personally secured her as a matchmaker. What's wrong?" Jia Peng pretended to be surprised.

"It's already engaged. It's such a coincidence. I still think of it as a close relative. I originally wanted to be a matchmaker for her."

The emperor slapped his lips with some pity. If Ping'er hadn't entered the palace, Jia Peng would definitely express his dissatisfaction with Qiaojie's engagement tactfully, and then try to facilitate the marriage that the emperor said.No matter who the other party is, it is a supreme honor for the emperor to bestow a marriage in person.Moreover, those who can make the emperor speak in person must have a prominent family background.

But at this time, Jia Peng changed from his previous style of sharing the emperor's worries, and followed Wanxi and said: "Yes, it's a pity, I don't know whose young talent it is, she probably doesn't have this blessing."

"In this case, let's forget it." The emperor refused to mention who the other party was, and left in a hurry after drinking the soup, looking a little unhappy.

Jia Peng felt sore in her heart, she really thought how firmly she had captured the emperor.Looking at it now, it's not happy if a little thing doesn't relieve his worries.He didn't even say who the other party was, so he wanted her to take him over.

When Ping'er came back from the side hall, Jia Peng had already adjusted his expression, "I already know about this matter, and I will find a way to intercede for him in front of the emperor."

"No, it's best not to be like this." Ping'er bent his knees and said, "Second Master was wronged. We will find out the truth and clear up the wrongs for Second Master. What the Jia family needs is to stand up and stand uprightly, isn't it? If you have become a burden to your empress, how can you talk about helping her?"

This kind of attitude made Jia Peng a little happy, nodded and said: "The women of Jia's family are stronger than men, you go ahead, if you need any help, ask Auntie Duan to send me a message."

"Yes, thank you, ma'am." Ping'er obviously felt that this empress, who had always been aloof and gave orders, finally had a little taste of her own family.It is a qualitative leap from Bengong to me.

She should have understood that this crisis was apparently caused by Jia Lian, but in reality it was aimed at the seventh prince in the palace, and it was a crisis shared by everyone.

Ping'er's trip to the palace went smoothly, but Jia Zhuo's side was not so lucky.

Huo Shangshu was missing.

Jia Zhuo stood outside the mansion gate in embarrassment, and turned around without saying a word.

"You girl?"

Within a few hours, Huo Shangshu was sent to Jia Zhuo on his own initiative, and he blew his beard and stared in anger.

"You old man, what's wrong with listening to a few words from others, it can exhaust you to death."

The old lady of the Zhou family, with a voice like a bell, was sitting at the top, while Jia Zhuo and Huo Shangshu were sitting at the bottom.They are all gray-haired people in their tens of years, so there is no need to avoid suspicion, and with the relationship between the two families, when Mrs. Zhou asked him to come for something urgent, he came directly without thinking.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he saw Jia Zhuo, he knew he had been cheated.

Jia Zhuo took out a cloth bag from his sleeve, spread it out on the table, and said to Huo Shangshu: "This is from the Ministry of War, and it is said to be food sent by my father."

"Hmph, you know that too." Huo Shangshu snorted.

Jia Lian, he met once because of the media protection, and he didn't have a good impression at the time.If this kind of thing happened, if someone else would consider the possibility of being framed, but Jia Lian, he felt that he was the one who could do such a thing.

"These grains have been produced for at least five years, and they were produced around Jinling." Jia Zhuo thought to himself, fortunately there is Mrs. Zhou, otherwise he would have left by now.

"Can you still tell where the food comes from?" Huo Shangshu didn't believe it.

"I can't see it, but some people can see it." Jia Zhuo said calmly.

"Let me take a look." Mrs. Zhou became interested when she saw that it was related to food. She touched it with her hands, put it under her nose and smelled it, and said affirmatively, "Don't tell me, this little girl has a few tricks. Although moldy, it is really grain from Jinling."

"So what if it's true?" Huo Shangshu didn't doubt what Mrs. Zhou said, she had dealt with food for half her life, just like Mr. Zhou could tell what kind of ink and brush was used by looking at other people's handwriting. It's the same as what postings, this is the specialization in the art industry.

"It's impossible for my father to fly over with such a large batch of grain. But these days, we have visited all the private warehouses, and no one has such grain in and out."

"What do you mean?" Huo Shangshu frowned for the first time.

"It can only come from Guancang." Jia Zhuo stared at Huo Shangshu's eyes, saw his pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes flashed with brilliance.Then he knew that he understood the seriousness of the matter.

"Why should I believe your words?"

"I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe it now, you will believe it in the future. It depends on whether you choose to believe it now or later."

Mrs. Zhou was dumbfounded listening to it, "You are talking about the grain mold in the official warehouse becoming like this? Well, if there is something wrong, how can we go to war in a disaster year?"

It is impossible for Huo Shangshu to ignore it, because his army has already reserved the grain in the official warehouse, and the army will start to transport it out in advance before the army sets out.

If he didn't know about it, let people get away with it, and then found out that there was a problem with the food when he went to the battlefield, even if he came back afterwards and chopped off the head of the main culprit, he still couldn't solve the problem on the front line.What's more, he knew too much about the twists and turns in the court, it was impossible for him to find out the main culprit.

If the principal culprit really had that ability, maybe he would be the one who took the blame.

"If Huo Shangshu loses in the front line, or if he never comes back, who do you think will gain?" Jia Zhuo knew that a few sentences are enough to talk to such a person.They will think to themselves, and if they say it too clearly, they will not believe it.

Sure enough, Huo Shangshu frowned immediately when he heard such words.

People's imagination is boundless. When it comes to Jia Lian's being framed, and the mildewed food in the official warehouse, and who will benefit in the end, Huo Shangshu quickly finalized the candidate.

"Find someone to pick Jia Lan up and come in through the back door." Huo Shangshu beckoned his personal guards over and ordered in front of them.

"You little girl, you must be the one who is engaged to Wang Tianzuo. I thought you were a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman, but now you see that you are a pair of wings." Huo Shangshu's words scared the guards who had not yet left their jaws. No beloved granddaughter has ever received such an evaluation.

"Hurry up." Huo Shangshu glanced at him, and then the guard came to his senses, and hurriedly retreated to the door, then turned and ran away.

Jia Lan came very quickly, wearing a blue hooded shawl, riding in an unmarked carriage, entering directly through the back door of Zhou's house, and jumped out of the carriage after entering the mansion.

"Master Huo." Jia Lan cupped his hands, and Jia Zhuo knew only after hearing the address that their relationship was much closer than he imagined.

"The old man's study is cleaned up every day, so I asked someone to prepare some food and drinks. You two can chat while eating. Girl, go with the old woman and show you my vegetable garden. You can pick what you like."

"Xiao." Jia Zhuo answered happily.

The old lady's vegetable garden is in her main courtyard. No one would have thought that Zhou Mansion is full of flowers and plants, but the main courtyard is full of vegetables.

"Those flowers and grass, no matter how beautiful they are, can they be eaten? From what I've seen, green vegetables are the most to my liking." The old lady looked at her vegetable garden, showing a satisfied smile.

When Jia Zhuo went back, Jia Lan hadn't left yet. She felt itchy in her heart and wanted to know what they had said, but she knew that Huo Shangshu would not welcome her in.Thinking that Ping'er should have gone home a long time ago, he rushed back.

"It's good that your mother understands." At least she won't suddenly stab Jia Rong in the back, or think she can convince Jia Rong to cooperate with him.

"Does Huo Shangshu believe us?" Ping'er was also worried. The most she knew was not to stab the knife, but Huo Shangshu was directly related to whether the truth could be found out.

"You should believe it. We may not be able to help you with the rest." Jia Zhuo was very unwilling, but knew it was reality.How to deal with the relationship between the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War, and how to verify the current situation of grain in official warehouses without alarming the enemy.

All this, women can do nothing but watch.

"Fangling and Xiaohong sent someone over, saying they want to see us tomorrow." Ping'er looked at Jia Zhuo.

"You don't need to tell them this for the time being, so as not to worry them. Just say that the Empress has agreed to find a way, and there is no need to mention anything else."

It's not that you can't trust them, it's just that if more people know about this kind of thing, there will be more possibilities of leaking the secret.If it was leaked unintentionally, it would be an unjust death, so why take such a risk.

"Okay, do as you say." After Ping'er finished speaking, it occurred to Jia Zhuo when the leading power of the family was handed over to Jia Zhuo.

Fangling and Xiaohong came here not simply to care, but to tell them that Jia Rong has started to contact the members of the Jia family.

"Probably because I knew our family was close to you, so I didn't come to see us. But our family is still popular outside, and someone told him in private." After Fangling finished speaking, Xiaohong also nodded.

Sure enough, Jia Rong couldn't wait to start contacting the clansmen for the next step.

"Firstly, the exchange of food has made many people in the tribe complain, and secondly, I don't know if the second master will be able to escape unscathed." Xiaohong expressed the concern of the tribe.

"My father was framed for this matter, we will find out the truth. If they want to go with Jia Rong, they can go. I was not the only one who was betrayed."

Jia Rong's behavior has been fully demonstrated since the first raid on the house.He would do that before, and what would he do if he encountered difficulties in the future.

"But some clansmen are like this. They are very short-sighted, and they will lose their head if he makes a small profit." Fang Ling sighed, Jia Qiang also went to the prison several times, and came back and said that the water here is too deep.He didn't say what the water depth method was, and Fangling couldn't understand it, but he only knew that it might be really difficult this time.

Can't help but look at Jia Zhuo sympathetically, this child really hasn't had a good day.

"Jia Rong also told the clansmen that you would marry King Zhongyong as a concubine. She also said that the emperor would personally bestow the marriage." Xiao Hong carefully looked at Jia Zhuo's face, but unexpectedly, she was still very calm.

"We know about this, he came to mention it yesterday." Ping'er replied.

"An aunt in the clan handed over a sign, begging to see the empress. If it is correct, she has already gone today." The news of Xiaohong was something they had never heard of.

Jia Zhuo and Ping'er looked at each other, and couldn't help but be thankful that they guessed Jia Rong and his intentions behind the scenes in advance, and entered the palace first.

At this time, Jia Peng was living in the deep palace, listening to the aunt who met her for the first time in front of her, flirting with her, saying compliments, and finally explaining why she came here. She was indeed a lobbyist for Jia Rong.

Jia Peng couldn't help being surprised, Jia Rong had already reached out to the Jia family members, if Jia Lian didn't come out to preside over the situation, even if the truth was finally found out, the Jia family might fall apart and fall into internal strife.

After she was reborn, everything went smoothly. This was the first time her spine felt chills, and something that she could not control was happening.This made her feel very bad, everything unknown made her lose her golden finger that could predict the future.

This feeling made her extremely flustered and frightened.His fingers gripped the handkerchief tightly, his knuckles turning white.

Aunt Clan's voice was like a background board getting weaker and weaker in her ears. There was a "boom", and the last thing she heard was Aunt Duan's scream, "Your Majesty has passed out, come quickly..."
