[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

The food was almost finished, everyone continued to enjoy the singing and dancing, Zhu Jing's eyes fell on the beauty, unable to extricate himself.

The Gu county magistrate was a very knowledgeable person, so he immediately smiled flatteringly and said: "The third prince has been exhausted all the way, and he is full of wine and food, why don't he rest earlier?"

These words were exactly what Zhu Jing wanted, he nodded reservedly, and said, "That's fine."

As for why he came out this time, he can't remember, there are two adults who are traveling with him.

"Hurry up, come and support the third prince."

The magistrate Gu beckoned to point out the two most outstanding beauties, and the two immediately occupied Zhu Jing, one on the left and one on the right.

Jia Yucun and Li Heze, whom Zhu Jing placed high hopes on, looked at each other, then got up and left the table.

After returning to the house, Shuangshou immediately called a basin of hot water to soak the master's feet to relieve his fatigue.

Soaking your feet on a hot day might seem strange, but it also has the added bonus of relieving a hangover.What's more, the journey is all in a carriage or a sedan chair, and the sweat that comes out is sticky and greasy, not refreshing at all, it just makes people feel sluggish.

Jia Yucun was not afraid of being scalded, so he sweated profusely after soaking, took a shower, put on clean clothes, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Shuang'an walked in and said respectfully, "My lord, the county magistrate is here to see you."

Even though Jia Yucun took the position of Zuo Shilang, he couldn't compete with the prince.With the third prince here, it is only natural for the ancient county magistrate to please the prince first.

Therefore, without putting on airs at all, he nodded and said, "Let him in."

Gu County Magistrate came in and said some polite words such as poor greetings. Jia Yucun responded with a smile, and then asked him: "What's the situation outside now? How many people are affected by the disaster? What regulations have you made?"

The Gu county magistrate was taken aback for a moment, and started talking about business just after eating and drinking. Is it necessary to be so eager?

He was slandering in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face. He turned his head to look at the sky, and said embarrassingly but flatteringly: "Lord Jia, the third prince has already rested, besides, it's getting dark. Just now, I have reported to the third prince. Tomorrow morning, I will bring my subordinate officials to report to you and the third prince in detail, what do you think?"

The meaning behind the words was that Jia Yucun didn't respect the third prince, and didn't even want to take him with him to discuss matters.

Jia Yucun smiled slightly: "Alright, it's up to you."

The Gu county magistrate quietly breathed a sigh of relief, cared about the accommodation conditions here, and finally reprimanded the servants who were serving him: "Everyone is serving you well, if Master Jia makes any mistakes, you don't even want to live!"

After the county magistrate left, Jia Yucun sat down at the table and drank tea slowly.

Not long after, Shuang'an walked in: "The butler from the house has come to deliver things."

"what?"

"Carrying a big box, said to be some change of clothes." The box was covered, and Shuang'an didn't know what was inside.

Jia Yucun knew it well and was noncommittal.

Soon, the butler walked to the door, stood outside the threshold and bowed deeply, respectfully said: "Greetings to Mr. Jia, there are some tiny things here, please accept them with a smile."

He was accompanied by two extremely beautiful girls. Jia Yucun glanced over and recognized that they were from the group of kabuki just now. They were even more beautiful than the first four girls they saw.

"Leave it alone." Jia Yucun waved him away.

After the people left, Shuangshou stared at the two girls who were still standing outside the door, and asked the master in a low voice: "Master, these two...shall I send them back?"

Shuangfu and Shuangshou are the close servants of Jia Yucun. They have served for many years, and they are very aware of their master's temperament. If the beauty scheme works with the master, I am afraid that the concubines and aunts in the family can sit at several tables.

"Let them stand outside, you go and inquire quietly to see what the third prince is doing at the moment."

Shuangshou went to take the order, and when he came back, his expression was calm, and he replied in a low voice: "The third prince has accepted the beauty, and right now..."

It was self-evident what Zhu Jing was doing, Jia Yucun rubbed his forehead.

It would be fine if Zhu Jing didn't take the two beauties, he can send away the women sent to him now.Zhu Jing accepted it, if he didn't want it, wouldn't it make him look very clean and honest, making Zhu Jing a lustful person?

No matter how cowardly Zhu Jing is and has no opinions, he will not like to be a foil for others.

"Find a room to put them in, don't dawdle in front of my eyes." As if there are two more maids in the yard, as for whether they should come into the house to serve them, no one else can control them.

The night was getting darker, and the house in Jia Yucun was still lit. A few figures flew over the eaves, as fast as afterimages, and then landed lightly and delicately in the yard.

Shuangshou, who was guarding the night by the door, met the visitor's eyes, confirmed that it was his own, and then whispered inwardly: "Master, someone is here."

"Come in."

Shuangshou pushed open the door and let them in.

Jia Yucun put down the book in his hand and looked at the six people standing in front of him. They were all masters sent to him by Zhu Yu. He had already guessed that there would be obstacles on the road, so he let them take a step forward before leaving the city.

"How's it going?"

"Returning to Mr. Jia, the drought is severe. This autumn's crops are almost useless. Fortunately, there is a porridge shed at the gate of the city. No one died of starvation. It's just that the rice for cooking porridge is getting worse and worse. It's clean enough for people. The county magistrate has counted The autumn tax has been uploaded, and we found two account books in his study, please have a look at Mr. Jia."

Jia Yucun took the account book, opened it and looked at it carefully. As expected, it recorded every income and expenditure in detail.

Naturally, the income comes from the people's fat and anointing, and the expenditure is the care fee paid to the superiors, all of which flow to the same person: Zhu Rong's confidant Wan Mingzhi.

The amount of income and expenditure did not match, and there was a big gap in the middle. Presumably, this gap went into the pocket of Gu County Magistrate himself.

"Oh." Jia Yucun snorted.

No wonder so many people want to call Zhu Rong a virtuous king. Others take ten points of filial piety, but he is only willing to take four or five points. In the eyes of these people, isn't such behavior called a virtuous one?

"Conceal the court and search for taxes in advance. Based on this alone, the ancient county magistrate will die." Jia Yucun stood up and walked slowly around the house, "Come here, arrest the county magistrate and lock him up Waiting in jail."

The evidence is conclusive, why bother to go around those detours with these villains and lock them up.

……

The next day, Zhu Jing was still sleeping soundly with his arms around the beauty on the big bed, and Jia Yucun came to ask to see her.

"Master Jia, why is it so early?" Zhu Jing complained, got up and dressed hurriedly, washed his face indiscriminately, lowered his head to check that he was dressed neatly, and then went out to meet people.

Zhu Jing put on a smiling face and greeted Jia Yucun: "Good morning, Mr. Jia."

"Greetings to the third prince." Jia Yucun saluted, "The drought outside is urgent, and the people are in urgent need of comfort. Please forgive me, the third prince."

"I, I'm going too?" Zhu Jing was surprised, wouldn't it be fine if you did this kind of work?Why do you have to drag him along?

Jia Yucun smiled and spoke slowly, with a strange power that could calm people: "Third Prince, you have a noble status. When the people see you coming in person, they know that the court is thinking of them."

"Oh, okay." It turned out that it was just going out to show his face. Zhu Jing made up his mind, and suddenly felt hungry again. Last night, the ancient county magistrate wanted to dig out his heart and liver to drink for himself. What's going on now? Missing people?No breakfast is arranged.

Zhu Jing thought this way in his heart, and asked: "Where is the ancient county magistrate? Shall we go after breakfast?"

"The housekeeper has already arranged breakfast, third prince, please come here." Jia Yucun turned slightly to let Zhu Jing go first, "The corpse of the ancient county magistrate has a vegetarian meal, and I was imprisoned last night."

When Zhu Jing heard the news, he staggered in fright, but fortunately he was supported by his close father-in-law.

Zhu Jing's expression was indescribable, he looked straight at Jia Yucun, and thought, the local county magistrate was arrested as soon as you came, is this really all right?

What if the people below rebel?Can they get out of this county well?

"Lord Jia, you..." Zhu Jing panicked, he was a person with no ambitions, he just wanted to live a prosperous and peaceful life.

With the status of the prince, wealth is appropriate.As for being free, as long as he doesn't get involved in the chaotic waters of fighting for reserves, no matter who will become the new king in the future, he would wish him to be as free as possible.

He is still young, only in his twenties, and there will be many years of rich and noble life in the future, so he doesn't want to just leave it here.

"Third Prince, don't worry, I wrote the memorial overnight, including the evidence, and sent it to the imperial court. The emperor will naturally come down after seeing it."

"Oh." Since there is evidence, it means that no one has been wronged, and Zhu Jing will not argue with Jia Yucun over a small county magistrate.

Jia Yucun said again: "Since this is a private house, we should return it. We will move to the county government office after breakfast."

"It's up to you to decide." Zhu Jing responded to what Jia Yucun said.

His lack of assertiveness also saved Jia Yucun a lot of tongue and energy, and he was most afraid of the kind of people who had no plans and preferred to dictate.

Zhu Jing turned his head and told his confidant eunuch Eunuch Chai: "Pack up your luggage and move in a while."

The two beauties who had spent the night with Zhu Jing last night had been eavesdropping in the house, but now they couldn't bear it anymore and ran out together, acting like a baby to Zhu Jing, wanting Zhu Jing to take them away with them.

If he could go to the capital with the third prince, it would be much better to be a concubine in the prince's mansion than to wander like duckweed outside.

Zhu Jing still likes them very much, these two people were Qing courtiers before, of course, the Gu county magistrate didn't dare to give away a broken girl.

Asking the third prince and the officials of the capital to pick up broken shoes is not flattery, it is clearly a grudge.

But no matter how good a beauty is, she can't compare with the emperor. As long as Zhu Jing thinks that his father will receive a copy, he will punish the ancient county magistrate severely. If he returns to Beijing with this beauty sent by a criminal minister, isn't this just looking for scolding?

No, no, let them go back wherever they came from.

Zhu Jing was full of displeasure, and frowned to avoid the touch of the two beauties. Eunuch Chai understood, waved his hand, and asked the guards to drag them down. up.

Since the master didn't take them away, the head and tail must be cleaned up, and there must be no such absurd things as the master left, and the two were pregnant with royal blood.
