Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

Brother Liang and Lao Cao were tied up, knocked out, gagged, and threw them into the utility room. Jia Hu and the others ignored them, and they just ate and drank enough to refresh themselves and planned to go see the outside the next day. situation.Unexpectedly, the plan could not keep up with the changes, before the next morning, there was a sudden commotion outside that night, even Jia Hu and the others were in a remote place, but they could clearly hear the boiling sky in the distance.

"Did something happen?"

Thinking in disbelief, Jia Hu and the others could no longer sit still. Anyi was tall, so Jia Hu asked him to climb to the top of the wall to see what happened. Tree, at this moment, can only take some risks to look at the wall, I just hope it won't be so unlucky that people can see it.

Naturally, he didn't really point at what he could see, this cold palace was a bit off, if An Yi didn't have clairvoyance, he wouldn't be able to see the movement in the distance at all, it was nothing more than seeking a calm and chaotic mind as much as he could.

An Yi stepped on the chair with both hands on the top of the wall, leaned over with great difficulty, and lifted his right foot to the top of the wall first. At first, he was not very strong, but he succeeded after several attempts. When he was about to lift his left foot up, it became more and more erratic. Clumsy and embarrassed, he firmly grasped the corner of the wall with both hands. First, the chest and abdomen were finally stabilized on the wall, and then he slowly retracted his left foot. Tu Youhao was furious from below, and urged him repeatedly Standing up straight to check the movement in the distance, Anyi's face was bitter as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis, he stood up straight while stepping on the yellow tiles with his hands and feet, and many tiles fell off due to his rude movements. The ground broke into pieces.

"This An Yi, why is he so stupid!" Tu Youhao and Han Yan looked up from below, his neck was sore, and he was jumping up and down in anxiety, but he could see that An Yi was standing on the top of the wall uncomfortable and afraid of falling. The appearance is not very urgent, for fear that he will accidentally fall and fall.

An Yi finally managed to stabilize his figure. He saw that the high wall below was far away from the ground with both eyes. His legs were trembling. He finally fell to the ground, swallowed heavily, and quickly retracted his gaze to look into the distance. Tell yourself, it's okay, it's okay, it's not just this height, you can't die if you fall, you can lie down for a hundred or ten days at most, isn't that the old saying, it's a hundred days of injury... Bah, bah, he didn't It's such a bad luck, it will be safe and sound.

Looking into the distance, there is a place that is particularly bright in the dark night, as if a large number of torches have been lit, only dyeing that piece of sky orange-red. It is also the most noisy and lively place. The noise they heard , from there.Anyi didn't care about being afraid anymore, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Highness, two young masters, something really happened. The servant looked at it, and it seemed that something happened in the main hall. It was a big scene, and it was connected with the big court in front. The square is also brightly lit, careful servants can't see clearly, but looking at the movement in that area, I'm afraid there may be thousands of people there."

Thousands of people?

Jia Hu's disciple You Hao and Han Yan were startled, and hurriedly asked: "What else can you see?"

It was a matter of his own safety, An Yi opened his eyes wide and pricked up his ears to look and listen, but with such a distance, how could he see and hear?His eyes were sore, and he said bitterly: "The slave is incompetent, I really can't see anything."

It would be a lie to say that you are not disappointed, but Tu Youhao and Han Yan have experienced some things these days, but they have made a bracelet for their usual arrogant master. Knowing this, it is no wonder that An Yi has tried his best. , They didn't speak, and went back to the house.Anyi also hurriedly got off the wall, heaved a sigh of relief, and moved the chair back to the room by himself.

There was quite a lot of commotion outside, those murky noises came from far away and entered the ears, making everyone restless, and their hearts were itchy like a cat's paw.

Han Yan was really worried and panicked, so he couldn't help but whispered to Jia Hu: "Why don't we go over and have a look?"

Tu Youhao's eyes lit up, and he also looked at Jia Hu eagerly.No one noticed that after this short period of sharing hardships, the three of them began to faintly rise up with Jia Hu as the leader.However, Jia Hu flatly rejected the proposal: "Such a big commotion, I'm afraid it's a big scene, either the rebel army gained power, or the army of King Qin came, and the reinforcements beat back the rebel army. No matter which one it is, at this moment or at that time There must be fights and fights together. The two armies are at war, the most dangerous, let's go over, will we die in vain?!"

Han Yan and Tu Youhao stopped talking. After sitting quietly for a while, Han Yan couldn't bear it any longer. He glared at Han Yan: "Can't you sit still?! It's so annoying to move around."

Han Yan didn't want to think about it at all, and replied directly: "Why don't I let you move, if you don't like it, don't look at it."

"You!" Tu Youhao was so angry that he didn't bother to pay attention to him, he turned his head and looked out of the window.

Han Yan snorted heavily, raised his chin, simply stood up, and started walking back and forth in the room.

Jia Hu was also flustered with annoyance, the situation was unclear, and he had nothing to rely on on his side, so he had no choice but to go out to inquire.Once again, Jia Hu was extremely dissatisfied with his small body, even if his body could be twelve, three, four, he dared to rely on the martial arts of the Yang family in his previous life to go ahead and investigate, but now...

Time is particularly hard to bear when you are anxious. Even when the future was uncertain a few days ago, the four of them didn't feel that time passed so slowly. At this moment, they really experienced what it means to live like a year.

In this situation, the mood is naturally not very good. After a while, Tu Youhao felt that looking out the window would only make him more worried about the situation outside, but when he turned around, he saw Han Yan walking back and forth in the room, dazzled and even more so. Unhappy, he said impatiently: "Han Yan, you are still going on, everyone is annoying, you are walking around, my eyes are dazzled."

Han Yan was also unhappy: "I'm also annoyed, what else can I do if I don't take two steps. I said, Your Royal Highness, don't you even take care of such trivial matters?"

In the past few days, this is the first time Han Yan has called His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince Tu Youhao, and with such a strange tone, Tu Youhao felt more and more unhappy, and said angrily: "It's reasonable for you to bother others there, why should I?" Can't even say it?"

Han Yan instinctively wanted to refute: "What can you say? You are His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince..."

It was finally easy for everyone to let go of their hearts and make friends. Jia Hu couldn't watch the two children become stiff again because of the child's anger, and hurriedly shouted: "Why are you arguing? It's just a trivial matter, just like you? These days So hard and so difficult, we are friends of life and death, just because of such a trivial matter, you forget all about it?"

Tu Youhao and Han Yan were still a little unconvinced, but when they thought that everyone shared weal and woe these days, they couldn't hold back their face and quarreled, so they could only stare at each other and avert their eyes.

Jia Hu knew that this was not a problem. The child was impatient. He had been hiding for the past few days, and had no communication with the outside world. Thinking that I might die in this turmoil before my ambition is realized, I feel very uncomfortable. These two children have little experience, so I am afraid it will be even more sad.It was so easy to vaguely know something about the outside world, but I still pretended not to see it and waited. I couldn't bear the suppressed emotions for the past few days.

If this continues, the two of Han Yan and You Hao will have to quarrel!At that time, the two will be tit-for-tat again, and they will live up to the fate formed these days.

Jia Hu thought for a while, then took out the silver notes and jewels found on Brother Liang and Lao Cao, and called his disciple Youhao Han Yan Anyi to come over and share them, and said with a smile: "Long nights are boring, we have nothing to do anyway, so why don't we just let this injustice go away?" A share of the wealth can be regarded as everyone’s private money in the future.”

Although Jia Hu, Han Yan, and Tu Youhao here are all children who grew up in riches and honours, they also know the importance of money. Tu Youhao needs money to manage the palace. Jia Hu wants to plan for the future, and Han Yan is not short of money for the time being. , but knows that with money, he can buy more good things, not to mention that An Yi, a eunuch who is not reused, has always been tight on money.Now that he heard that the money was going to be divided, he put aside his depressed mood for the time being, and surrounded him regardless of whether he was happy or not.

Not to mention, there are quite a lot of rich people in this palace. Brother Liang and Lao Cao are just one of the ordinary rebel soldiers, but Jia Hu found a stack of bank notes from them, the smallest amount of money There were thick stacks of ten taels and twenty taels, but there were quite a lot of 20 taels and 500 taels in large denominations. Several people counted them carefully, and the total was 1000 taels of silver.

Tu Youhao and Han Yan are not suffering from the people, but just seeing An Yi's excited hands shaking, he also knew that this was probably not a small sum, so he immediately became interested, regardless of the previous quarrel, and took those jewels Come over and have a look, Liang Ge and Lao Cao have good eyesight, they only pick out the jewelry with big gold and big gemstones. Tu Youhao can tell that a certain concubine has worn it before, and then look at the jewelry. The secret notes, some made by the palace, and some brought in by the mother's family, are all good things, but I'm afraid it will not be easy to sell.

Jia Hu wanted to be more knowledgeable, and said with a smile: "Such things are not easy to sell if they are taken out like this. We twisted the gold and smashed the marks. Those gems were cut to make them smaller. And the jewelry next to it looks like, although it is not as valuable as it is now, it is not comparable to the ordinary goods in the silver houses outside, and the price is not low. It has been changed, so no one will recognize it, why don't you just sell it?"

Tu Youhao and Han Yanju all smiled and said, "Thank you for thinking it out, it's a really good idea." On the other hand, An Yi gasped in distress, for such exquisite jewelry should be destroyed and then remade, and that's it. Only a few sons who came out of the wealthy nest can be so reckless.

"But the bank notes are troublesome." Jia Hu frowned while holding the five hundred and one thousand bank notes.

Han Yan took a look and didn't understand: "What's the matter, is there any problem?"

Jia Hu taught them in detail: "Those scattered banknotes are nothing more than that. Don't look at the large denominations of these banknotes. It is because of the large denomination that they are not easy to use. These banknotes are probably from those The ones found in the empress palace were brought back by the empresses from their respective natal homes." He took out one and gave it to Han Yan, and asked him and Tu Youhao to look at the lower left corner of the back, where it felt a little uneven, and looked carefully at the candlelight Yitong is not a small Liu character, Tu Youhao was the first to react: "Could it be Liu Chongrong's banknote?"

Jia Hu shook his head: "There are many people with the surname Liu, and I don't know who it is. However, such large-denomination banknotes are usually marked, and we can't use them indiscriminately, lest people find out, which is troublesome."

Tu Youhao and Han Yan were silent: "Isn't that the same as getting these banknotes for nothing?"

Jia Hu carefully checked the banknotes again, picked out those with imprints, but there were more than 2 taels of silver, and couldn't help but said: "In the palace, it is more suitable to use unimprinted banknotes, such a big A sum of money, counting what happened to us, it can be regarded as a windfall."

At first, Tu Youhao didn’t understand Jia Hu’s words, but when he thought about it carefully, he suddenly realized that it was just that the concubines in the palace were fighting openly and secretly, buying people’s hearts in secret, and naturally spending money was inevitable. If the bank notes used were all stamped, check back later Isn't it a trick to come out?Naturally, the unmarked ones are used. In order to appear impartial and selfless on the face, there are also some imprinted ones to use on the bright side! "I prepared these unmarked banknotes with the intention of harming others." Tu Youhao thought about the trickiness of it, and sneered again and again, a little gloating, "Now that such a calamity has lost so much money, You can't feel sorry for them! You really deserve it!" In my heart, I became more and more disgusted with the dirty and filthy harem.These women, on the surface, are all affectionate like good sisters, but secretly, they just want each other to die quickly.The queen is like this, the concubine Shu is like this, and his mother, Concubine Chen, is no exception!

Jia Hu divided up those banknotes and jewels. Tu Youhao was in the palace, and he couldn't use the large denomination banknotes, so he gave most of the small denomination banknotes to him, and ordered 2 and two large denomination banknotes. , A total of 4 taels was handed over to him, and he and Han Yan shared [-] equally, and all the odds were given to An Yi, and he only said to Tu Youhao: "You don't use these jewels, so you gave them all to us. When I turn back, I will ask someone to melt it and make golden melon seeds for you to send, I’m afraid there won’t be much, so you can keep it as a reward.” Tu Youhao naturally had no objection.

An Yi couldn't help being overjoyed, holding those bank notes, he just felt that his decision to stay with Jia Hu's apprentice You Hao and the three of them was really correct. It's more than 3000 taels of silver, even the big manager, he can't get it. Such a large reward.With these, those relatives in my hometown can live a better life.Busily knelt down and kowtowed to Tu Youhao and the others: "The servant thanked His Highness, the two young masters for their kindness. In the future, this servant will serve the young master with all his heart and soul, in order to repay His Highness's great kindness."

Tu Youhao raised his hand to let him get up: "You deserve it. When I get out of danger, I will ask my concubine to transfer you to my side to serve. I have seen all your achievements these days." Woolen cloth."

An Yi was even more joyful, and kowtowed a few more times before stepping aside, touching the banknote and laughing foolishly.It made Tu Youhao and Han Yan laugh, and scolded with a smile: "You are worthless, you only have such a virtue for so little money, and you will have a good life in the future."

But this time, the boredom in everyone's heart was gone with the wind, and they picked up some interesting things and talked about it, and laughed happily.Suddenly, An Yi's expression turned a little pale, he lay down on the ground and listened carefully, and hurriedly shouted: "Someone is here."

The three of Jia Hu lay on the ground and listened, and sure enough there were footsteps coming from far and near, they hurriedly extinguished the candles and hid, but those people didn't come this way, they walked away from the main hall, no one came this way rush.An Yi carefully discerned the direction of the footsteps, hesitantly said: "Listen, it is going to the north gate."

The north gate was the place where the rebels first attacked.

Just as Jia Hu changed his mind, he laughed, "I'm afraid the rebels are defeated and are fleeing."

"If only it were like this!"

The few people were both surprised and happy, afraid of being discovered, they didn't dare to speak, they just opened their eyes, and from time to time leaned sideways on the ground to listen to the movement in the distance, there were chaotic footsteps, heavy trampling of horses' hooves, and calm The sound of marching in order, everything indicates that everything is changing for the better. Everyone is secretly thinking about it, but they have not slept all night.

On the second day, at the third day of the day, there were voices of people, slowly, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I saw a soldier in his thirties who was dressed as an imperial guard yelling at a court lady for running around without thinking, asking him to go to the main hall to be interrogated first, where have he been these days?Anyi went forward to bow to Qian Zuo, and said: "Dare to ask the military master, but the chaos has been suppressed? I don't know if the body of the holy dragon is healthy now?"

The imperial guard's eyes bulged, and he said angrily: "What a bold servant, a little rough envoy and eunuch, actually inquired about the emperor's body, what's on your mind?"

An Yi hurriedly apologized, and tremblingly said: "The military master misunderstood, although the young man is humble, he also knows that the emperor is the pillar of the country and the lord of the people, but there is a rebellious party who dares to risk the disgrace of the world. The little one is just asking for nothing, but dare not have any thoughts."

The imperial guard's expression softened a little, but he still didn't want to see An Yi: "I don't even know about these, I'm afraid I'm hiding in that corner these days and took refuge? Bah, it's useless, a cowardly slave!" After scolding for a while, he said, "The holy sage has a clear view, he is the emperor of the real dragon, how can those young people offend him, the holy dragon is in good health, and the leader of the bandit is You Ming, but he has already been executed!"

Anyi was shocked: "You Ming, the leader of the bandit, has already subdued the law?"

The imperial guard said: "It's all thanks to the righteousness of Prince Yizhong's ancestor's concubine, who was able to settle this matter so quickly." After finishing speaking, he felt wrong, looked at Anyi viciously, and said angrily, "You slave, the more you You didn't know what to do, and you actually inquired about the news here. Go to the main hall ahead, the official in charge over there is waiting to ask you, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is now unknown, do you know the situation?"

Anyi opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Isn't this slave here just for His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!"

In the afterglow of the setting sun that afternoon, Han Yan and Jia Hu finally walked out of the palace gate and returned home.Jia Hu thought he could finally catch his breath, but he didn't know that the turmoil in Rongguo Mansion was about to start...

Self-conspiracy has never been a family matter, and often, it is implicated in rebellion against the "party"...
