Jia Zhen, Uncle of the Red House

　　Aunt Xue roared hoarsely, "I won't agree!"

　　Jia Zhen sneered: "What if I have to marry?"

　　Aunt Xue waited for him and said word by word, "Unless I die."

　　Jia Zhen frowned and replied, "If you die, no one will stop me from marrying her."

　　Aunt Xue snorted coldly, "As beautiful as you think!"

　　Jia Zhen shook her head, "It's not as bad as you think. Baochai doesn't know about me and you."

　　Aunt Xue did not speak.

　　Jia Zhen said again: "Are you still going to tell her? I am naturally ruined, but what about you? We don't care, how can you live with dignity after you are called Baochai? Is there anyone else willing to marry her? You have the heart to let her alone. Are people lonely and old?"

　　"That's better than being ruined by you!" Aunt Xue shouted.

　　Jia Zhen was annoyed, "Even so, I can only ruin it!"

　　The two stared at each other.Jia Zhen was soft-hearted after all, and persuaded: "I believe that I will treat her well, it is better than marrying a small family, the total daily wealth, rice, oil and salt consumes her elegance and innocence."

　　Aunt Xue turned her head away, "Don't lie to me again! I won't agree."

　　"Hey!" Jia Zhen recalled the proverb of the Slavic barbarians at this time, when encountering resistance, the iron bar swept across, and the resistance increased and the iron bar thickened.If you don't give some color, how do you let her know why the flowers are so red?

　　……

　　Jia Zhen and Aunt Xue finally didn't get on with each other.

　　Aunt Xue returned to her residence, otherwise Baochai would go to Ningguo Mansion again, and she would not be allowed to see Jia Zhen again.Baochai accepted it calmly, but it made Aunt Xue worry, for fear that Baochai could not think of anything.

　　Baochai still plays with her sisters on a daily basis, but hides more and more from Baoyu, which disappoints Baoyu.Fortunately, Xiangyun still played with him, otherwise he would really be suffocated to death.

　　After only a few comfortable days, Jia Zhen knew that something happened when Master Luo came over with a large pile of things.

　　What should come will always come.　

Chapter [-] Both sides are in action

　　Jia Zhen was depressed, and when she saw Master Luo holding a stack of things, her mood became even worse. "What's the matter? Save those tedious processes and just talk about the results directly." He sat on the chair in the study, still thinking about Baochai, but Aunt Xue, who was always gentle, unexpectedly appeared today. Unexpectedly firm.This is a hassle.

　　"Master Hou? Master Hou?" Master Luo could only remind Jia Zhen, "Are you listening?"

　　Jia Zhen said displeasedly, "Isn't it because the emperor gave the seventh prince a favor."

　　Master Luo smiled and said: "Not only that, these days, the emperor has also rewarded Concubine Wu, and Concubine Wu's father, Wu Tianyou, has also been promoted. There are a few more changes."

　　Only then did Jia Zhen hear something, "The seventh prince's market is bullish? Where are the crown prince and King Zhongshun?"

　　Master Luo turned a page from the book, "The prince asked the ministers who are studying the history of the country and the Hanlin to be promoted to one level. The emperor is right. As for the prince of Zhongshun..." Master Luo turned to another book, "Here, Yesterday, a total of [-] bowls were smashed, and eight minions were beaten. Besides, it is suspected that someone from the East Palace came in and out?"

　　Jia Zhen took it over and took a closer look, "Suspected? What's the use of me asking for this suspect?"

　　Master Luo said, "Before I came, I asked the traffic officer carefully, and the shopkeeper only said that Mole heard something from Chang Shi by chance."

　　Jia Zhen frowned, "This Ni Er is really too cautious! Let him come to me later, and I will give him a good lesson. Is there any news today?"

　　Master Luo shook his head: "According to your procedures, Master Hou, no news means everything is normal. King Zhongshun suddenly stopped being angry, and he didn't drink alcohol and fool around with the actors. It's very strange."

　　Jia Zhen must ponder.

　　Just listening to Master Luo continue to say: "As far as the news of the past few days is gathered, it seems that the emperor intends to abolish the prince and establish the seventh prince. The prince began to feel uneasy, but it was already noticed by King Zhongshun."

　　Jia Zhen tapped on the table and said, "King Zhongshun is afraid that he won't have a chance after he establishes the seventh prince, so..."

　　The two smiled at each other.

　　Master Luo thoughtfully said: "After a round of attack by the Crown Prince, the power of King Zhongshun is very small, especially since there is no military support in the entrainment, no matter what he wants to do, it is almost impossible. Therefore, if he wants to do great things, he You can't get around Lord Hou. Now we'll see when he can wake up to this."

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said, "What if King Zhongshun never wakes up?"

　　Master Luo closed the book and put it on Jia Zhen's desk respectfully: "Then, Lord, you will try to ensure that the seventh prince becomes the crown prince. This is good for you, but you still need to plan in the future, and you will be dead after a long time. Unpredictable. Why don't you come here this time?"

　　Jia Zhen cut in her hands and said in surprise: "As a master, there are few people who encourage the master to take risks like you."

　　Master Luo disapproved: "Where is this encouragement? It is clearly to tell Master Hou that only this is the most beneficial. There are not many masters with conscience like me in the world!"

　　Jia Zhen laughed and glanced at Master Luo: "If you hadn't taken Xiangyu to join me, I would have suspected that you were a spy."

　　Master Luo immediately had a cold face, "Master Hou, are you implying something to me?"

　　Jia Zhen swallowed her laughter awkwardly, "Well, it has nothing to do with Xiangyu. You can't think about it."

　　So next, Jia Zhen looked down at the news, Master Luo looked up at the beam, and neither of them spoke.

　　Fortunately, Timur soon came in and broke the situation, "Master, there is a man who claims to be the Zhongshun Palace and wants to see you, Master."

　　Jia Zhen and Master Luo suddenly smiled.

　　"I want to hear what he has to say!" Jia Zhen said "please" and walked out slowly with her hands behind her back.

　　At the Ning'an Hall, the person who came here admitted that he was the chief historian of the Zhongshun Palace, but he was dressed as a merchant.Before we could talk about it, the chief historian took out a letter and gave it to Jia Zhen, and said with a smile, "Xiaguan is here on the orders of the king. There were many misunderstandings between the two families in the past. This has not been convenient. The special instructor came to convey his goodwill, and he is willing to fight with the Hou Ye to become jade and silk."

　　Jia Zhen is noncommittal.How can the hatred between the two families be revealed in a single sentence?Although the interests are compatible, but now he is begging Jia Zhen, not Jia Zhen to beg him, and there is no need to compromise.He casually opened the letter, with only a few lines on it, "Your Excellency Ningyang, the past is dreamy and cannot be recalled, and the past is ignorant, but it can be pondered. If you have time, you can go to the mansion to talk about it."

　　It turns out that there is a literary heart beneath the tyrannical temper of King Zhongshun.

　　He sneered and handed the letter to Master Luo.Master Luo glanced at him, then cupped his hands and said to the chief historian, "Please, my lord, please report to the prince. If our prince has time, he will definitely visit the prince's mansion."

　　Jia Zhen has a look that won my heart.

　　The chief historian's face twitched twice, then he smiled and said, "My lord is dedicated to Hou Jia Hou, if you don't go, the lord will blame him, and Xiaguan can't afford to be blamed. Please watch as Xiaguan runs errands. Make sure to take the time to go.”

　　Jia Zhen's face is expressionless, is this also the tone of begging?Seeing that Jia Zhen was about to serve tea to the guests, the long history hurriedly said, "Master Hou, our prince is sincere this time." Jia Zhen remained unmoved.The chief historian was helpless, so he had to bow to the end, "Marquis, the prince has an important matter to discuss with Marquis. It is only because of the ground restriction that I cannot leave the house, please ask Marquis to move."

　　Jia Zhen looked at Master Luo, asking if she can go?

　　Master Luo nodded silently.

　　Jia Zhen didn't think about it anymore.In order to hide from the public, he also deliberately disguised himself and left through the side door.

　　Not to mention what Jia Zhen and King Zhongshun only talked about and how they were talking, the atmosphere in the East Palace was unusual at this time.

　　The prince concubine of the inner hall looked worriedly at the front hall.Gong E beside her persuaded: "Niangniang, can you rest for a while?"

　　The Crown Princess said angrily: "You step aside! His Royal Highness is discussing with them, when will they be discussed? Go and urge!"

　　That Gong E was so frightened that her face turned pale, she hurriedly knelt down and said, "Niangniang, please spare the slaves! Your Highness ordered that you should not disturb the servants during the discussion, otherwise they will all be killed. Four or five people have died today. went."

　　The princess said angrily: "You are afraid of the prince, so aren't you afraid of me?"

　　That Gong E was obviously desperate, and begged: "The maid is kind, or the slaves still have their lives. If they are in the hands of His Highness, the slaves will definitely die!"

　　The Crown Princess was stunned, "Do you know what they are discussing? It's so mysterious!"

　　Those palace maids shook their heads one by one. Who among them has the courage to listen to the prince's roots?

　　The princess read: "Fang Congqian and the others encourage the prince all day long. I have heard the young master of the prince, Mr. Zhang complaining many times, saying that there are villains at work. Could it be that they are the ones who are talking about them? , Just being clever and conspiracy, how can things happen?"

　　Princess Changxing next to him laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, since you have such insight, why don't you talk to the prince's brother? It also saves him from restlessness."

　　The Crown Princess said with a sad expression: "Changxing, it's not that you don't know that His Highness has never listened to me. Since that time, you have rarely spoken to me in the coming year."

　　Princess Changxing's face flushed, and she spat: "Brother Prince, too, to leave a beautiful woman like my sister-in-law alone in the empty room, but fooling around with some man, I'm ashamed to hear it!"

　　The princess hurriedly stopped her and glanced aside.

　　Miaoyu lowered her head and recited scriptures with a calm face, as if she did not listen to them.

　　The Crown Princess forced a smile and said: "The current atmosphere is not the original creation of the Crown Prince. Besides, we are still young after all."

　　Princess Changxing sneered: "In my opinion, the prince's brother doesn't need to put the cart before the horse, worry about one and the other, as long as he and sister-in-law have a child, the country will be solid, and those outsiders will not dare to make irresponsible remarks. "

　　The Crown Princess could only smile bitterly, Changxing is really young, how can things be so simple?The royal father was only afraid that he would have been dissatisfied with the prince for a long time, but he just tolerated it and did not let it go.The news that came from the palace in the past two days, even if she didn't know the inside story, made her anxious.

　　They talked one after another until the prince dispersed, and the prince hurriedly called Fang Congqian over to speak.

　　Unexpectedly, Fang Congqian didn't come, but the prince did.

　　With a gloomy face and the smell of alcohol all over his body, he swayed and sat down.He didn't say anything to the Crown Princess, but squeezed out a smile at Princess Changxing: "My sister never returned to the palace?"

　　Princess Changxing said angrily, "No, I have to go to Brother Zhongshun later."

　　The prince's face flashed with displeasure, "He... is now grounded, I'm afraid that he's in a bad mood, and you have to go and find a solution. Don't be arrogant and resentful, the father and the emperor are not happy."

　　Princess Changxing did not answer.

　　The Crown Princess wanted to ask questions several times, but all the words came to her lips and swallowed.

　　The prince saw Miaoyu next to him, and asked with a burp, "I heard that you went to the house of the Marquis of Ningyang?"

　　Miaoyu's appearance was as usual, not because he was the crown prince, so he just nodded lightly.

　　The prince asked again, "What kind of person do you think Jia Zhen is?"

　　Miaoyu thought about it carefully, and just said two words: "honesty and attentiveness."

　　The prince seemed to have heard the most ridiculous thing in the world, and sneered: "Jia Zhen is hypocritical and cunning, but still honest? He just said allegiance to me here, and in a blink of an eye, he became a white-eyed wolf, killing my people and arresting them. Really honest."

　　The princess persuaded: "His Royal Highness, Miaoyu is just the abbot of his family temple..."

　　"Hey!" The prince poured a bowl of wine and squinted at Miaoyu, "Who doesn't know that this is a way to hide his ears and steal the bell, trying to hide it?" The prince was already drunk, and suddenly pointed at Miaoyu, "Let him dance again. In a few days, it will fall into my hands sooner or later, and I will let him live and die!"

　　Miaoyu, the Crown Princess, and even Princess Changxing's expressions changed.With Jia Zhen's current status, it is not something that the crown prince can handle at will.But since the prince said so, there must be some basis.Is it because Jia Zhen has some handle on the crown prince, or is it...

　　Even Princess Changxing was restless.

　　The princess hurriedly stopped the prince, "Your Highness, you are drunk, and the Marquis of Ningyang is also diligent in serving the country."

　　The prince picked up the wine glass and snorted coldly: "He is only for the country, but he is ungrateful! Besides him, there is that Niu Jizong, all of whom are going to be killed! Not a single one will be left."

　　The Crown Princess immediately drove away the people who were waiting by her side, and whispered, "Your Highness, be careful to let others listen."

　　The prince said indifferently: "This is the inner hall, how can the spies of Zhongshun enter here? Lonely only makes a small plan... Haha..." He stretched out a hand and clenched his fist, "I will kill them all in one net. ."

　　The more the Crown Princess listened, the more frightened her heart became. Just from his few words, something big was going to happen.

　　She didn't dare to let him talk any more, and hurriedly helped the prince to rest inside.

　　Princess Changxing asked Miaoyu curiously, "I heard that Jia Zhen wrote you a lot of poems? Now there is a book of poems circulating on the market. It is said that it belongs to Jia Zhen. I don't know if it is true?"

　　Miaoyu smiled and said, "But a "collection"? I don't know who spread it out in the house. Unfortunately, only twenty-one poems have been recorded, and there are many others that have not been recorded!"

　　Princess Changxing had a good impression of Jia Zhen. Seeing that there was no one around, she said softly, "You need to go back and tell Jia Zhen about today's affairs, so that he can be more careful. It's better to stay at home and not come out."

　　Although Miaoyu was a little ignorant, she could also hear the unkindness of the prince.
