The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 34
Jia Cong smiled calmly, "I only found out today that the owner behind Jixian Hall is the official of the Ministry of Rites. Just now, shopkeeper Dai entered the door of my Jia family with the Gu family's name card."

Meng Jixi smiled and said, "This is nothing. Even if everyone in the court knows that the owner behind Jixian Hall is Gu Mingchen, they will not tell it."

Jia Cong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought that the combination of government and business has been common since ancient times. It turns out that there is no law prohibiting officials from the imperial court from opening merchants. Moreover, if someone opens a bookstore, as long as it does not harm the people, it can be said to be beneficial to education and arty.

Seeing Jia Cong's expression, Meng Jixi already had the answer in his heart. He reminded, "My little brother is extremely talented and extremely smart. As soon as I met my little brother, I fell into his trap unknowingly!" "

He gave a helpless smile. Jia Cong picked up the tea cup and pretended to drink tea, covering half of his face, which was a bit embarrassing.

"Don't get me wrong, little brother. Big brother doesn't mean anything else. I just want to know, does the little brother simply want to get the benefits he deserves from the family for himself, or does he have other ideas?"

"I don't understand what Brother Meng means."

"You are still young, and I am afraid that you will go astray. No matter how great the principles in this world are, they can't be bigger than one word 'filial piety', and two words 'jia' cannot be written in one stroke. Although you are accepted by the Duke of Rongguo, Prejudice, but you know that in this world, if you don’t have shelter, you will not only have three meals to eat, but you will die in an instant.”

Jia Cong stood up and bowed respectfully to Meng Jixi. At this moment, he sincerely called "big brother" and said, "I understand this!"

"How do you solve this situation?" Meng Jixi asked curiously.

Jia Cong smiled and stopped trying to hide it at this time. He asked instead, "The imperial censor only saw that our Rongguo government oppressed merchants, and didn't even think about it. What's the benefit of our Rongguo government doing this?" "

The Rongguo Mansion is unprofitable, so what's the crime?

Meng Jixi was stunned. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh!

Jia Cong twisted a piece of pea yellow and put it into his mouth, chewed it slowly and swallowed it, and said, "I heard someone say something. He said that in an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent!"

He picked up the 40 taels of silver notes on the table, handed them over to Meng Jixi and said, "Twelve poems, if Brother Meng is still interested, I can get them today!"

Seeing that Meng Jixi was indifferent, Jia Cong walked towards the door without paying any attention.

"Wait!"

Meng Jixi hurriedly caught up and said, "Little brother, big brother, I naturally admire your poetic talent, but as smart as you are, you should also know that big brother also works hard for others. If everything involves too much, big brother will not be able to explain to the master behind him. !”

Although he did not regret his friendship with Jia Cong, he was a little afraid of this child.

"Brother, it's just a trivial matter. If the master behind my brother really has something wrong with me, why don't I ask him, what does 'Shun also ordered Yu' mean?"

Meng Jixi was confused again. He understood every word, but when they were put together, he became more and more confused.

"Finally, do you know who the master behind me is?" Meng Jixi was really scared.

"I only know that the person behind Jixian Hall is the Minister of Rites, an official of the Six Departments, and other nobles would not dare to compete with civil servants. Brother Meng's Yu Qingtang dares to challenge Jixian Hall, so naturally he will not be afraid of the Minister of Rites."

Meng Jixi gasped, and he approached Jia Cong, "Brother, there is a certain kind of person who always dies the fastest in this world. Do you know who he is?"

"I know, smart people, but there are different types of smart people. Zhuge Liang and Yang Xiu are different." Meng Jixi patted him on the shoulder helplessly, "Brother, it is good to read more. Brother, he just reads too much." not enough!"

Meng Jixi went out first, and the coachman rushed to greet him. He ordered, "Leave a car to take Mr. Jia back home!"

Emperor Taiqi is 46 years old this year. He is not young, and his figure is thin. His face, which is round at the top and pointed at the bottom, looks a bit mean. He is in low spirits due to lack of sleep. After yawning, he throws a memorial to his knees on the ground. In front of King Zhongshun.

"Look, I remember that Yu Qingtang is not in your name, isn't it? In the early days, I said that I would open a bookstore and save a dowry for Xian Ning in the future. I said that it is not a good thing to deal with scholars!"

King Zhongshun picked up the memorial on the ground, and Xia Shouzhong hurriedly stepped forward to help King Zhongshun up.

Emperor Taiqi ordered him to take a seat, and the young eunuch brought a chair. King Zhongshun sat on half of the chair and read the original memorial of impeachment of Duke Rongguo at a glance. There was not a single word about Yu Qingtang in the whole article. He also had some stupid.

"Your Majesty, what does this...have to do with my brother's Yu Qingtang?"

"Look at you, why don't you have a brain? I've read this memorial. There hasn't been a single scholar in the Rongguo Duke's mansion, and they don't have a bookshop at home. Why are they having a conflict with Jixian Hall? "

boom!
King Zhongshun felt like a bell was ringing in his mind. He was suddenly enlightened and understood what was going on. "Brother, Yu Qingtang did publish the complete version of "Double Swallows on Liangshang". I heard that it sold nearly a thousand copies." Zhang went out and earned more than 100 taels of silver."

"So much!" Emperor Taiqi laughed dumbly, "For these more than 100 taels of silver, is it worthwhile to perform a double act with the Jia family?"

"Brother Imperial, this is such a huge injustice!" King Zhongshun felt that this was really yellow mud falling into his crotch, and he couldn't help but wailed, "Is my brother the one who is short of one or two hundred taels of silver? If he is really that poor, Come on, wouldn’t it be good for my younger brother to go to the palace to fight against the autumn wind with the emperor’s brother?”

"Then tell me, what's going on!" Emperor Tai Qi was furious, "Don't say, you were deceived!"

King Zhongshun couldn't express his pain, "Brother Emperor, it wasn't that I was deceived, it was the idiots under my subordinates who were betrayed and even counted money for me!"

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Emperor Taiqi felt very sorry for his younger brother. At that time, if his younger brother hadn't helped him carry the burden, he would have never imagined anything.

King Zhongshun lowered his head and thought for a while, then organized his words, "This matter is a long story!"

In fact, King Zhongshun only knew a general idea, so he simply said, "I heard that the young master of the Jia family is only seven years old, but he is quite courageous."

Emperor Taiqi became interested and asked, "Performing this performance at the gate of Rongguo Duke's mansion? He also said that if you don't want to raise his son, you can send him out of the clan? Haha, he is not old and has great ambitions. He doesn’t know that he has been expelled from the clan, how can an orphan and a widower survive?”

King Zhongshun couldn't help but feel angry when he thought about how badly he had been cheated, "Children don't know how high the sky is!"

"Well, let Dongshan give him the next post. I want to see if he has real talent or is there someone behind it?"
