The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 99

Jia Zheng returned to the side courtyard of Rongxi Hall and glanced at Mrs. Wang in disgust, "Brother wants to take inventory tomorrow, remember to hand over the key and the pair of cards."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Mrs. Wang to reply, he turned his head and walked towards the small courtyard next door. Judging by his posture, he should go to find Aunt Zhao.

Zhou Rui's family only felt a piercing pain in the wrist, which was about to be cut off by Mrs. Wang, but she had a ghost in her heart, so she had to pretend that nothing had happened, and smiled, "Madam, I will find a doctor. See your injuries?"

Mrs. Wang turned her head sharply, and stared at her fiercely, "Say, did you betray me?"

Zhou Rui's family was so frightened that her heart felt like it was about to jump out. She pretended to be aggrieved, "Madam, this servant has followed you since you were not out of the cabinet. This servant would rather die than betray you." She looked The expression on Mrs. Wang's face softened, and she continued to call out Qu, "Furthermore, madam, you forgot that Second Master Lian is working in the Embroidery Guard now."

After hearing what she said, Mrs. Wang was right when she thought about it, Zhou Rui's family had no reason to betray herself.Could it be that Lian Er's boy really?She suddenly remembered that Wang Xifeng had indeed been estranged from her in the past few months, and she was only to blame for being careless for a while and not taking it to heart.Immediately, he said bitterly, "Two wolf cubs who are not familiar with each other, thanks to the fact that I treated them so well, they are now biting me back."

Zhou Rui's family slandered in their hearts, yes, you are so kind to them, one deliberately gave up raising them, and the other wanted to make them unable to have children.But she said, "Madam, put out the fire first, your injury is serious."

Mrs. Wang didn't feel it before, but now that Zhou Rui's family said this, she suddenly felt that the place where Jia's mother beat her with a cane before was swollen.She touched the wound on her forehead again, and cursed, "You bastard."

Zhou Rui's family looked around and tried to persuade, "Don't talk about it, madam, it will be bad if it gets to the old lady's ears."

Mrs. Wang was startled, only then did she realize that she was still in the yard, and hurriedly ordered Zhou Rui's family to help her into the house.

Jin Chuan and Yu Chuan saw their wife's appearance, and hurried forward to help her.After Mrs. Wang is seated, Zhou Rui's family will go to invite the doctor.Mrs. Wang said no, she had no choice but to ask Jin Chuan to find a clean veil, and she helped Mrs. Wang wipe the blood on her forehead bit by bit.

Several people were busy with their work when they saw Amber from Jiamu's room coming in. She bowed and saluted, and then passed on Jiamu's words to ask Mrs. Wang to move to the Buddhist hall in the backyard to pray for Yuanchun and Baoyu.

Mrs. Wang suppressed her anger, sent Amber away, and then drove out Jin Chuan and Yu Chuan, and then she patted the table, "This old godly woman said that she loves Baoyu so much, but she grinds Baoyu like this!" mother."

I have coveted so much money in the mansion, but it's not all for Baoyu.Now that something happened, Mother Jia didn't help her, she was even more angry, and tore off the prayer beads on her wrist.

The members of Zhou Rui's family hurriedly lowered their heads to pick it up, but Mrs. Wang grabbed her and said in a low voice, "Go to Uncle and tell him that I gave him the money, and now the Jia family is forcing me to pay back the money."

Seeing Zhou Rui's family's nod, she lowered her voice again, "Also, tell him..." Speaking of which, she looked at Zhou Rui's family hesitantly, and still chose to believe her, "As long as Yuan Chun can fly on a branch, what will I do?" All agreed."

Zhou Rui's family's heart tightened, they still nodded, and then asked, "When will the servant go?"

Mrs. Wang looked at the sky, and said, "You go now, while it's dark, no one will notice."

"Yes, servant girl will do it now."

Zhou Rui's family responded and hurried out.When she got out of the courtyard, she thought of what that embroidered guard fanzi had said, and she thought to herself, madam, don't blame me, I won't betray you, my whole family has to be buried with you.At the moment, without hesitation, she headed for her home in the back alley.

……

The next day, Mu Xu had just had breakfast with his grandmother and younger sister, and was a little bored for a while, so he sat in the study and thought about the second level of the physical exercise. Now that he has started, the rest is just grinding.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Mei Jian's voice outside the door, "Your Majesty, Mr. Feng begs to see you."

"Understood, you have someone take him to the side hall."

Mei Jian responded, and then heard her footsteps gradually walking away.

When Mu Xu came to the side hall, he saw Feng Ziying walking up and down inside with a happy face, and when he saw him coming in, he hurried over.Mu Xu waved his hand to signal him not to be too polite, and asked him to sit down.Then he asked, "Why are you so happy?"

Feng Ziying smiled and said, "My lord, there is news from the Jia family."

Mu Xu was startled, "So fast?"

Feng Ziying replied, "I didn't expect that Zhou Rui's family would hold evidence of Jia Wang's wrongdoing. I just sent someone to scare her, and she handed it over." Then I heard about what happened in Rongguo Mansion yesterday to Mu Xu.

Mu Xu was overjoyed when he heard that, he didn't expect that Jia She, who was so useless in the original book that he wanted to sell his daughter, would be so powerful this time.

Then, Feng Ziying reported to him the key information obtained last night.Mu Xu was taken aback when he heard that, he frowned and said, "Are you sure she said that?"

Feng Ziying nodded, "The humble job is confirmed."

Seeing his confirmation, Mu Xu was even more puzzled.Seeing him like this, Feng Ziying couldn't help asking, "My lord, what's wrong?"

Mu Xu trusted Feng Ziying, so he said immediately, "I feel a little puzzled, you said that Prince Yizhong has worked so hard to push Jia Yuanchun to the current imperial concubine, what's the use, what good will this matter do for him?"

Feng Ziying took it for granted, "It is to monitor His Majesty. Could it be that Your Excellency is wondering why Prince Yizhong is not afraid of Jia Yuanchun's betrayal?"

Mu Xu shook his head, "No, I have no doubts about this. If he dares to do this, he must not be afraid of Wang Ziteng's brother and sister and Jia Yuanchun's repentance. He will definitely hold the handle on those people. I just think that if it is just to monitor today's , there is no need to go through such twists and turns."

Feng Ziying also realized, that's right, there are so many eunuchs and maids in the palace, how many are not easy to buy?He looked around, and then whispered, "Could it be to assassinate today at a critical moment?"

Mu Xu still shook his head, "He definitely won't do that. If he does this, the Supreme Emperor will not be able to spare him, and he will completely lose his qualification to inherit the throne." Then he said,

"Besides, Jia Wang's ignorance, let alone her, do you think Wang Ziteng would be so stupid to ask his niece to assassinate the emperor. Even if it succeeds, will the new emperor keep this insider?"

Feng Ziying thought about it, yes, ordinary people are not willing, let alone the emperor?How could he tolerate it, someone knows his dark history.

Mu Xu thought for a long time and couldn't figure it out, so he had to tell Feng Ziying, "Keep watching Jia Wang's family to see if there is a breakthrough on her side. Of course, Prince Yizhong and Prince Tengna must seize the time to infiltrate."

Feng Ziying nodded in agreement, and then he hesitated, "My lord, do you want to report this news to the palace?"

Mu Xu replied, "I will report it myself, you don't have to worry about it. Remember, this news, except you and me, no one can disclose it."

"Yes, I understand."

After a while, Feng Ziying got up to leave, but Mu Xu didn't keep him either.Seeing the direction Feng Ziying left, Mu Xu couldn't help sighing.

The reason why Mu Xu sighed was because he had lied to Feng Ziying just now.If he got the news before going to Yangzhou, he would definitely report it as soon as possible.But now, he chose to conceal the news.Because, he feels that today is not worthy of trust, too mean and ungrateful.

He collected so much money in Yangzhou for the present, almost offending the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.But how to reward him now.First, someone was sent to serve as the co-prefect of Nanzhen Fusi, but he had been back to Beijing for more than three days, and this new co-prefect didn't even come to see him as the commander.Who is giving him the power behind this?
In addition, yesterday's rewards from the palace turned out to be some simple gold, silver and jade ornaments.Doing this now is nothing more than telling him that he knows that you are greedy for money in Yangzhou.

Mu Xu even doubted that if he wasn't the current nephew, when the salt government was reforming before, facing the pressure from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, he might not be able to push the boat forward and push himself out as a scapegoat.

When he asked him to rebuild the embroidered clothes guard today, he had thought that doing so now was to keep himself at a distance from the court.He also felt that he understood at the beginning, after all, he had a special status.

Besides, he is also very satisfied with his current life, and has never thought of rebelling.But this does not mean that he is willing to put his wealth and life on the thoughts of others.

If it were a more tolerant emperor, Mu Xu would be willing to get along with his monarch and ministers, but let's forget it now, the cunning rabbit is not dead yet, so he just wants to cook the dog.That being the case, he naturally wants to keep a hand in everything, why should he work so hard, he might as well plan more for himself.
