Turning the tide in the Red Chamber

Chapter 135 [135] Zhou Guiren poisoned the beauty trick

Hua Zixiang said casually:

"Last year, when I went to work in the field, I saw an old man fall, and I helped him up. He said I was kind, so he taught me some medical skills."

Hua Zifen asked, "Who is that old man?"

Hua Zixiang continued to tell lies: "He said his name is Yao Lao."

Hua Wei said in doubt: "Then why didn't you invite him to our house?"

Hua Zixiang smiled and said, "I invited, but Yao Lao didn't agree."

Hua Zifang nodded thoughtfully: "I heard from a storyteller that most of these experts have weird tempers."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he changed the subject:

"Second brother, did you drop Xiaomi on the way?"

Hua Zixiang denied it flatly: "How is it possible? You are my elder brother, how can I disturb your marriage?"

Hua Zifang frowned and sighed:

"That's weird. Before I left, I checked that the red cloth bag was indeed filled with millet. Why did it turn into sand when it got here?"

Hua Zifen interjected, "I just remembered, the second brother once carried millet into the corn field."

Hua Wei looked at Hua Zixiang suspiciously, and asked, "Second brother, why did you drill the cornfield?"

Hua Zixiang explained in a calm manner: "I drank too much cold water this morning, and I had a stomachache, so I went to the cornfield to defecate."

Hua Zifang pursed her mouth and said angrily, "I see, you dropped the millet in the cornfield."

Hua Zixiang smiled and said, "I was squatting to shit at that time, how could I have the time to drop the millet?"

Hua Zifang asked angrily:
"You have been guarding Xiaomi, if not you, who else?"

Hua Zixiang pretended to be thinking and remembering, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she lost her voice:
"Oh, I remembered, I took a poop at that time, but my stomach still hurt, I wanted to continue pooping, but I felt that the poop was too smelly, so I moved a dozen steps, squatted down and continued pooping, but I didn't take Xiaomi with me Bring, it should be at that time, someone swapped Xiaomi!"

Hua Zifang frowned and thought for a while, then murmured:

"I remember, you did put Xiaomi a dozen paces away."

Hua Zixiang slapped her thigh, pointed at Hua Zifang and said with a smile, "Brother saw it with his own eyes, which is enough to prove my innocence."

Huawei frowned slightly, his eyes flickered, and there were inquiries and doubts in the depths of his eyes, but he said:
"Second brother, if the thief dropped the millet with sand in the cornfield, then the scattered sand or millet will definitely be found in the cornfield. Let's pass by the cornfield later. I will go in and look for it, maybe I can find some clues .”

"Okay! I'll look for it with you." Hua Zixiang knew that her mother doubted herself, but her face remained calm and she agreed.

Hua Zifang leaned next to Hua Wei, and asked with a bitter face:
"Mother, their old Yang's house is still not open, what should we do?"

Huawei glanced at him, and said sharply:
"Kneel down!"

Hua Zifang was taken aback for a moment, "Huh?"

Hua Wei sternly said, "Kneel down!"

Hua Zifang curled her lips, gritted her teeth and knelt down towards the gate of Yang's house.

Yang Feng's son, who had been peeking out through the crack of the door, saw this scene, hurried back to the main hall, and reported to Yang Fenghui:
"Father, it's not good, Zifang knelt down at the gate! They just want to hang on, so hurry up and give me an idea!"

At the same time, in the Hall of Mental Cultivation in Daming Palace.

A young eunuch ran in and saluted:
"Qizou Your Majesty, the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet has come to ask for an audience."

Emperor Chongrui said to Jia Chen and Zhou Guiren:

"Lai Zongdao is here. I'm going to meet him in the front hall. Jia Chen, you can talk to Mr. Zhou about calligraphy."

Jia Chen took a look at Emperor Chongrui, knowing that he wanted to create an opportunity for himself to interrogate nobleman Zhou, so he said:
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my best and never disappoint Your Majesty's high expectations."

Hearing these words, Emperor Chongrui knew what he meant, and understood that Jia Chen already knew what he meant.

It seems that this Jia Chen is indeed ice-snow smart,
Nodding approvingly towards Jia Chen, Emperor Chongrui turned and left.

Now, Jia Chen is the trusted minister of Emperor Chongrui.

Emperor Chongrui believed that as long as there was Jia Chen, the case of the second prince would definitely be investigated.

However, after Emperor Chongrui left, only Jia Chen and Zhou Guiren were left in the hall.

The lonely man and the widow were in the same room, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little delicate.

Ambiguous and embarrassing.

Zhou Guiren smiled and said:
"Master Jia is quite accomplished in calligraphy, can you talk to me about your experience in calligraphy?"

Jia Chen said modestly:
"Wei Chen only knows a little bit about it."

In order to lull Mr. Zhou, and to get the words out of Mr. Zhou's mouth, Jia Chen had no choice but to quote extensively and talk about his experience in calligraphy.

After talking for a while, I heard Zhou Guiren exclaiming:
"It's better to be famous than to meet each other. Mr. Jia is really talented. Hearing what you said, I feel a sense of enlightenment. What was previously obscure is suddenly clear."

Jia Chen naturally knew that Guiren Zhou was just talking politely.

These harem concubines are all from the families of high-ranking officials and nobles, the family of poetry and book hairpin tassels. They have been fascinated by their ears and eyes since childhood. Even if they don't have the talent to express themselves, they can still speak grandly.

Jia Chen also pretended to be humble, and said modestly with a smile:
"Miss Zhou has won the award, but Niangniang is very talented, she can tell a little bit. If I study hard, I am afraid that the minister will take Niangniang as his teacher in the near future."

Hearing this, Zhou Guiren covered his mouth with a light smile and said:
"Master Jia is not very old, but this small mouth is really sweet!"

As soon as these words came out, the corners of Jia Chen's lips twitched slightly.

This week, the nobleman looks at Meixing, his eyes are full of spring, seems to be winking at him?

Could it be that she is trying to use a beauty trick?

what's the situation?
Do you dare to take me as Prime Minister Cao?

But I'm not good at it.

Moreover, you are the concubine of Emperor Chongrui.

I am a birthday guy hanged himself, looking for death?
Why did Emperor Chongrui wear a cuckold?
Faced with Zhou Guiren's provocation and seduction, Jia Chen remained unmoved, just smiled and said nothing.

Seeing Jia Chen's expression was indifferent, Zhou Guiren did not give up, and asked with a smile:

"Jia Chen, have you ever married a wife?"

As soon as these words came out, Jia Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

As a concubine in the harem, Zhou Guiren asked such a frivolous question, and it was not dignified and inappropriate to ask when the lonely man and the widow were in the same room.

Fortunately, no one else was present in the palace at this time, otherwise, if Emperor Chongrui found out, he might mistakenly think that he was having an affair with Zhou Guiren.

Jia Chen shook his head and said calmly:

"The minister is still young, at this time, the most important thing is to improve his studies and official career, and he should not be burdened by his children's private affairs."

Zhou Guiren smiled lightly and said:

"Now is the time for you to know Mu Shaoai as a young man, wouldn't it be a pity not to be close to women?"

Jia Chen was slightly startled, good fellow, this week the nobleman has become more and more explicit!
