Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Sun Qiu seemed to have forgotten the previous holiday between the two of them, smiled and greeted him, and said harmoniously: "Today's flower viewing party, the prince-in-law is also here to be naughty?"

Jia Cong smiled lightly and said, "Isn't His Highness here too?"

Before Sun Qiu could say anything, the two brothers behind him couldn't help frowning and scolding: "Jia Cong, you are so brave! How dare you talk to the eldest prince like this."

On the day of Jia Cong's wedding, he also saw Sun Feng and Sun Yan in the procession.

However, he already knew that these two people had been advancing and retreating together with the eldest prince. They had different camps and there was nothing to talk about, so he was not polite.

Yin put his hands behind his hands and sneered: "Are your two highnesses teaching me how to do things?"

With his current power and title, although the prince is noble, he may not be able to overpower the first marquis of another country.

"You!" Sun Feng and the other two were extremely angry, pointing at Jia Cong and being speechless.

The prince is just a noble name, how can he have the real power to control the admiral of the Imperial Guard and the dignified Marquis Huan?

Sun Qiu hurriedly stopped the two brothers and smoothed things over with a smile: "We are all one family now, why should we fight? How about Ruyi? I haven't seen her these days. I will bring her to my house to be naughty someday when I have time."

Jia Cong said: "The princess is very kind. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness." He turned a blind eye to Sun Qiu's olive branch.

Sun Qiu seemed unaware and said with a smile: "That's good. I'll sit in the side room and come over for a drink later." After that, he said hello to Zhongxin and Feng Yuan.

Suddenly one of the noble princes stood out from the crowd. He was about twenty-seven or eight years old, nine feet tall, with a tiger's back and a wolf's waist, long legs and broad shoulders. His hands hung like cattail fans at the sides of his legs. His joints were thick and covered with calluses. The courageous spirit rushed to his face.

"You were the one who killed Li Zhen?"

Jia Cong glanced at him coldly and uttered a few words: "Who are you to question me?"

The man's expression turned cold, and he clenched his fists instantly, making a rattling noise. Jia Cong's question really made him speechless. In terms of title, official position, and family background, he really couldn't compare with Jia Cong.

Sun Qiu said with a smile: "The prince consort doesn't recognize him? He is Tu Lie, the eldest son of Duke Wei, who just came back from Yulin Town and served as the general of the capital camp.

You are as brave as any man, and over the years he has been promoted to the rank of Cavalry Commander. "The Cavalry Commander is a fourth-grade meritorious lord, which is quite high for his age.

Jia Cong said calmly: "It turns out that he is the son of Duke Wei. He doesn't know the etiquette of honor and inferiority. Is this the Tu family's tutor?"

He remembered that he had heard Sun Chi talk about this person before in Liaodong. According to him, his martial arts skills were still superior to his own.

However, Jia Cong didn't take it to heart. Firstly, Sun Chi didn't even know his own bottom line, so what he said was not convincing. Secondly, compared with that day, he had made a qualitative leap.

What's more, now he is focused on the general situation of the court, and personal bravery is not worth a damn.

Tu Lie was speechless after being lectured by him. His chest rose and fell rapidly, almost exploding with anger, but he could not refute.

He simply didn't mention this part, stared at Jia Cong with splitting eyes, and said: "I have heard for a long time that the Marquis is braver than Zilong, and I have admired him for a long time. I wonder if I can give you some advice?"

Sun Feng said with a smile, "How about another trial in front of the emperor?"

Sun Yan smiled and clapped his hands in agreement: "It's a battle between dragons and tigers, which is good for entertainment. I just wonder if the prince-in-law dares to accept the challenge?"

Sun Qiu looked on with a smile and said nothing.

Jia Cong said: "It's a martial arts competition. It's a trivial matter. When Tu Lie gets a decent title, he can come and challenge me."

At this moment, I am competing with a Cavalry Commander. Doesn’t His Highness find it ridiculous? Or is it that the Marquis Huan, whom Your Majesty personally conferred, is no different from the Cavalry Commander in the eyes of your two highnesses? "

Sun Feng and Sun Yan opened their mouths, but had nothing to say. Everything Jia Cong said was reasonable, and he even endorsed it today. Who would dare to object?

Sun Qiu said with a smile: "Today I will only talk about romance, and I won't say anything that hurts the friendship. Brother Lie and Li Zhen are good friends, so they speak a little irritably. Don't take it to heart, Prince Consort."

Jia Cong said calmly: "Your Highness is overly worried. For Tu Fei's sake, I will not argue with a young boy."

Zhongxin sneered and laughed, and all the princes looked at each other. This sentence seemed to be talking about themselves, which was awkward and embarrassing.

Tu Lie was several years older than Jia Cong, so he was called a brat. Considering his status, Jia Cong had enough confidence to say this, and everyone didn't know how to argue.

After all, Tu Lie had been practicing in the frontier for many years. He had calmed down at this moment, his face was as cold as frost, and he said nothing.

Sun Qiu laughed and led everyone into the private room.

"Brother Lie, why do you need to fight for a moment? Jia Cong is not what he used to be. Don't act on impulse." Sun Qiu advised.

Tu Lie cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for teaching me. Lie understands."

"Well, that's it." Sun Qiu said with a smile: "The competition is fierce tonight, and the four families may not be able to get it.

But the rest of the Qing husbands are also wonderful products. Whoever you like later, I will buy it and give it to you as a congratulation on your return to the capital. "

Tu Lie looked a little better and said humbly: "Lie is here just to accompany His Highness, how can he have the intention to hunt for beauty?"

Sun Qiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "As for food and sex, a man should do his duty. You have rarely seen such beauties in Jiubian these years. If you are polite to me, you don't treat me as a friend."

"You don't dare, Lie. Thank you for your generous gift, Your Highness." Tu Lie said hurriedly, cupping his hands.

Sun Feng smiled and said, "Brother, tonight, are you determined to win the Lan family who said, 'It's better to take care of the people in front of you'?"

Sun Qiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Tonight there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and all the heroes are vying with each other. How can I dare to force it?"

Sun Yan sneered: "Who dares to fight for the woman that elder brother wants?"

Sun Qiu said: "Don't forget that the consort is here. I heard that he has an old relationship with the Lan family."

The middle-aged man next to him said hurriedly: "The common people are willing to do their best to capture the Lan Family and present it to His Highness."

"Mr. Cheng, you are too polite. How can I accept such a generous gift?" Sun Qiu said with a smile, nodding secretly in his heart. Cheng Hai, the Hui merchant introduced by his uncle, was also aware of the situation.

After a while, the building gradually became lively and crowded, and all the private rooms on the second floor were full. Almost all of them were dignitaries, wealthy businessmen, and gentry. Obviously, flower viewing would be a good opportunity for elegant bribery.

After all, there are still very few people who are willing to spend 100,000 silver for a night of pleasure, except of course for a prodigal like Xue Dashan who has no one to control him.

In the box, Jia Cong looked at Feng Yuan and said with a smile: "I wonder which of the people Brother Zhengfang has fallen in love with?"

Feng Yuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know everyone Lan is your brother's favorite, and I will never get involved."

Zhongxin smiled and said: "Brother, you don't know. Old Feng Naisu is a supporter of everyone. Now that I think about it, I have failed to achieve my goal. I vow not to give up."

Fengyulou Soho? Jia Cong smiled and said, "Unexpectedly, the Su family can actually make Brother Zhengfang fall in love with him. What's so wonderful about it?"

Feng Yuan had a wretched look on his face and said with a smile: "I have never seen the Su family dance. Its shape is danceable on the palm, as soft as if there are no bones. It can be said that the body is as light as a crane and stands like a crane, as if it is about to fly but has not yet soared." Cong chuckled and was noncommittal. Fatty still wanted to argue with me, so he asked, "Who does the prince like?"

Zhongxin smiled and said: "I like to listen to operas on weekdays. I am fascinated by Lou Chaolu. Everyone has reached the pinnacle of opera and is proficient in opera, so I have long admired him.

Brother Qiao, it is inconvenient for me to bid. If you can help me, you can bid for me later. The banknote will be delivered to my house tomorrow. "

Jia Cong secretly laughed, so who would accept his money? Shameless.

Sure enough, Qiao Yong didn't understand what he was saying. He quickly raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you are underestimating the courage of us Shanxi people.

Even though the villain has not read many books, he still knows the word righteousness and profit. How can he sacrifice righteousness for profit?
Being able to serve the prince is a great joy that we can't even look forward to. If the prince mentions money again, I will be ashamed of myself. "

Zhongxin and Feng Yuan looked at each other and smiled, saying: "Brother Qiao is very righteous, but he is disrespectful."

"It's a strong word."

Jia Cong watched the show with a smile. He didn't know what Qiao Yong asked Feng Yuan for. He was probably going to be stabbed to death by two fat guys tonight.

"May I ask if Mr. Hou is interested in everyone Lan?"

Qiao Yong didn't stop doing anything, so he simply took care of Jia Cong. If he could form a good relationship with Admiral Jinyi, although he wouldn't need it now, it would be beneficial in the future.

Jia Cong waved his hand and said with a smile: "I am here today only to have a drink, not to bid. I will go home later. Mr. Qiao is kind and I will accept it next time."

Feng Yuan glanced at him sideways. What else was this kid planning? With his lustful temperament, how could he turn a blind eye to the four of them?
Zhongxin leaned close to his ear and whispered: "But Ruyi controls you very strictly. It's okay. Someone will take charge today, so be stubborn. The king will teach Ruyi a lesson for you someday."

Do you think that everyone is as greedy for petty gains as you? Jia Cong shook his head and said, "I can't thank you enough for your great love. I have something to do today, so I can't stay for a long time."

How could Zhongxin believe him? He sneered and said, "I didn't expect Zilong to be henpecked. Come over to the palace another day, and I will teach you some tricks on how to control your wife. I hope you will use them as much as you can."

Jia Cong smiled and said nothing.

Bang! The gong rang downstairs, and the upstairs and downstairs gradually became quiet.

The Madam of Baihualou went up to the stage and made some opening remarks, and then said with a smile: "The slave family knows what you mean by coming here today.

As the saying goes, a spring evening is worth a thousand pieces of gold, so I will not waste any time and invite the four of you to come up to the stage to meet you gentlemen. "

The audience suddenly cheered and made noise.

"Go down and invite the four of you to come up."

"Please invite the four of you quickly."

"Everybody Blue, everybody Blue!"

"Any heroine, any heroine!"

……

When the drama came, the doors to the private rooms on the second floor also opened, and all the noble people came out at the same time and looked at the stage on the first floor.

Jia Cong raised his eyes and glanced around. In addition to the eldest prince and a group of people, there were a few princes, a few ministers from the six departments, and a few Wuhou. They were all powerful figures in the capital.

I didn't see any of the important ministers above the minister's level. It's probably because I'm getting older and I don't have much interest in these things.

They were all dignitaries in the capital. They usually bowed their heads but did not raise their heads when meeting each other. They all greeted him politely from afar.

Amid cheers, the four families came onto the stage to greet the guests upstairs and downstairs.

All four pairs of beautiful eyes on the stage saw Jia Cong almost at the same time, and they were secretly happy, good man, you are finally here.

Chao Lu and Su Ho had already learned about Jia Cong's intentions from Ren Shu. They were all good sisters and there was no reason to save one but not the other.

After everyone saw the ceremony, Lan Wei played and sang a song, which was the lyrics of "Huanxisha" given to her by Jia Cong.

Everyone present couldn't help but glance at Jia Cong, secretly thinking that it was bad luck. With this evil star present, they could only let everyone go.

However, there are also many people who can't deal with Jia Cong and are determined to raise Lan Wei's price to a sky-high price and make Jia Cong bleed.

Seeing Sun Feng, Sun Yan and others sneering, Jia Cong smiled slightly, "You bunch of stupid pigs, I will teach you a lesson today and let you know that even if your father is the emperor, you are just a waste."

Lan Wei sat aside, and the madam came on stage to announce the start of the bidding.

The reason why the auction starts with the most expensive Lanwei is that the brothel is afraid that everyone will fight for it, resulting in the remaining three being unable to bid.

Due to the fierce power of Jinyiwei, no one among the wealthy businessmen dared to bid.

"Ten thousand taels of silver!" Huizhou merchant Cheng Hai shouted a reserve price.

Many officials and Marquis Wu looked at the presence of the eldest prince and others, and held down the people around them, preventing them from bidding.

For a moment, there was silence in the building. The old madam was extremely anxious and asked hurriedly: "Is there any other bidder? For ten thousand taels of silver, everyone in Lan will belong to this master."

She works for Prince Zhongshun. She doesn't care what kind of prince you are. She only wants to sell at a high price.

Seeing that Jia Cong was indifferent, Lan Wei felt cold in her heart and her heart gradually sank. She thought about it, how could he offend His Highness the Prince for himself.

The three people in the background were even more panicked when they heard what was going on in front of them. Even Lan Wei couldn't stand it, let alone herself and others?

Seeing that Jia Cong showed no expression, Sun Feng and others immediately became more arrogant and congratulated Sun Qiu one after another.

Sun Qiu thought that Jia Cong was concerned about his status and wanted to show weakness and make amends.

He has always been magnanimous and polite, so it would be great if he could win over Jia Cong.

Yin came over and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, the consort is willing to cut off his love. I am very flattered. I will give the consort a top-quality beauty as a reward for today's affection."

Jia Cong smiled lightly and said: "What do you mean by your highness, but I don't understand. I don't get any reward for my merits, so your beautiful highness can keep it for your own use."

Sun Qiu frowned slightly, and the next moment he understood what Jia Cong meant.

Just listen to the crackling sound below, accompanied by the screams of countless prostitutes and the miserable screams of the turtle, hundreds of Tiqi wearing black flying fish uniforms and embroidered spring knives rushed in, overturned tables and chairs, and pushed the clients , kicked down the running hall, and surrounded everyone.

"Jinyiwei handles the case! Avoid the idlers!" (End of this chapter)
