Jia Zhen, Uncle of the Red House

　　Tan Chun pulled Xiang Yun and urged, "Sister Lin, hurry up!"

　　Daiyu's cheeks blushed with laughter, and she joked: "Today, we will let Yun'er write a hundred poems first, and then punish the elder sister-in-law to grind ink to transcribe it. The rest of us will drink tea and give pointers. My son thinks too slowly, and my sister-in-law writes too slowly, so she has to rush it. What do you think of my idea? "

　　Xichun immediately clapped her hands and smiled, "I think it's very good, but unfortunately there are no melon seeds."

　　Tan Chun and so on all laughed.Xiangyun caught this one, and then went to beat that one, the whole room burst into laughter.

　　Baochai said to Daiyu at this moment, "Have you been arguing with your brother for a while now?"

　　Daiyu hummed, "No!"

　　Baochai smiled and said, "My brother and I also said it. Why do you even eat my vinegar?"

　　Daiyu was a little embarrassed, and whispered, "Why did I tell you this too!"

　　Baochai persuaded: "My brother didn't tell me, I guessed it."

　　Daiyu was annoyed and turned her head to the side in shame.

　　Baochai smiled and said: "You don't know, my brother has been so stubborn for the past two days that he always wants to find you, but you deliberately only stay with Yun'er, and you are inseparable, and your brother can't say anything, but you're wrong. already."

　　Daiyu said angrily, "If he sees one and loves the other, he won't let me and Yuner be together?" She even laughed at herself. "I want to be mad at him! I just want to tell him that I don't like his temper. You see him in Fangyuan, there is a teasing bee hall on the left and a dancing butterfly hall on the right. It should have been early in the morning. It's cured, Sister Bao, don't go to him either, or he will have to make further progress in the future, and he will no longer have any scruples."

　　Baochai smiled and said, "When you pass the door tomorrow, you can change them to Mo'erxuan, Daiyuxuan, that's fine!"

　　Daiyu's pretty face flushed, and she said coquettishly, "Sister Bao, they are talking to you about something serious!"

　　Baochai nodded with a smile, "I see, serious, it should be the same. I'm afraid sister-in-law You can't say it well, right?"

　　Daiyu was still a little indignant, "If he is really good to me, why should I accommodate him? Can't he accommodate me? I'm angry, shouldn't he coax me?"

　　Baochai advised: "Don't be too stubborn."

　　Daiyu said with a smile, "I'm just like this, I'm afraid I can't change it."

　　At this time, I only heard Xiang Yun say: "Sister Lin also has all kinds of dried melon seeds and dried fruit snacks sent over there. Sister Lin can't eat it, and she is afraid of gaining weight. Why don't you move it over here? Let's share it?"

　　Xichun also said: "There is also my place, and I also ask someone to bring it over."

　　Li Wan hurriedly stopped, "With so much, how can a few of us eat it? What a waste!"

　　Xiangyun smiled and said: "We can't eat it, there are still so many girls! I heard that there are a few kinds of tribute from Nanyang in it. Let's try it out. If you think it's good, we will let my brother send only this one. I don't want the rest. ."

　　So everyone agrees.The girls were assigned to fetch food from Xiaoxiang Pavilion and Nuanxiangwu, filling a large table full of them, and some placed them on the desk.

　　Xiangyun had something to eat, but he forgot the original intention of writing poetry!

　　Daiyu said with a smile, "Yun girl, we will remember your hundred poems for you!"

　　"..." Xiangyun still had something in his mouth, and everyone urged him to ask, and after taking a sip of freshly squeezed juice, he made it clear: "What's the hurry, I will eat it later, even if I have two hundred songs."

　　Li Wan pointed at her and scolded: "If you don't get [-] credits today, you will be punished for being the host, and everyone will drink!"

　　All the girls in the room were laughing.

　　Suddenly Baoyu broke in and blamed himself, "Damn it, I forgot such an important day. The master insisted on me to study, but it was too late, and I punished myself three cups!"

　　But there was no wine on the table.Just because Jia Zhen didn't allow them to drink, she gradually changed her habit.

　　If he was there before, there must be.

　　Xiangyun smiled and said, "Second brother, you are welcome! If you don't have wine, I will punish you to write a hundred poems for us to evaluate."

　　Baoyu's face suddenly became embarrassed, and it was Li Wan who helped him out of the siege, "Don't talk about Baoyu, you are brewing it yourself! How can Baoyu make a hundred songs? Lean, it's better to make ten songs!"

　　Not to mention ten, there are not even two at this time!

　　Baoyu was still making trouble among the girls, but he didn't notice that he was no longer the focus.

　　It's the same without him, better without him.

Chapter [-] Xia Jingui's poison plan

　　Zhongshun Wangfu, Sun Shaozu was talking about his tragic experience in Rongguofu and Ningguofu with snot and tears, and said angrily: "My lord, their Jia family doesn't treat me as a person at all, not only deceived my money, but also deceived me. He beat me hard, and I must avenge this revenge!"

　　King Zhongshun and Qi Guan looked at each other, and they were too lazy to pay attention to him. Son? Will Jia Zhen agree?"

　　Sun Shaozu has been studying abroad all year round, and some news in Shenjing is a little behind, otherwise he would not have given money to Jia She in vain.

　　Seeing his ugly face, King Zhongshun, who is said to be quite a corporal of courtesy and virtuousness, never looked at him in the eye at all, and he sold a good ass with an actor who was neither male nor female.

　　"I beg your lord to give the little one a chance, and the little one will surely bring you what the lord wants without fail?"

　　King Zhongshun smiled and said, "Do you know what I want?"

　　Sun Shaozu straightened his back and said, "No matter what you want, my lord, I will not hesitate to go through fire and water!"

　　King Zhongshun gave him a cold look. "Hope you can keep your word! Let's go!"

　　Sun Shaozu originally thought that he would at least have to give it to an official, right?I don't know if there are only two words to go.

　　He also looks down on himself too much. If a reckless man like him was used in the past, he would definitely be used heavily, but now, the guards in the palace are almost abolished. This kind of muscle requires a lot of brains and can cause trouble. no need.But since this person has a grudge against Jia's house, he might as well use it for the time being. It's good to give Jia Zhen a little trouble.

　　Sun Shaozu came out unhappily, the eldest son, the eldest son to be exact, but the people around him still called him the eldest son, and smiled cordially: "Master Commander, don't worry, my father is just like that... a person who is concise and concise. Come with me. !"

　　The prince led Sun Shaozu to his courtyard. There were several burly men like him in the main room, and two were lean and slender.

　　"There are a few here, one is Hebei Iron Mantis, one is Central Plains Shadowless Spear, and the two over there are senior brothers who have learned the Way of Empty."

　　Sun Shaozu sneered, what iron mantis shadowless gun?I've never heard of them, just looking at them with sharp eyes, not like a gentleman on the beam, but like an assassin who kills people and steals money without leaving a thousand miles.

　　Sun Shaozu chatted with them, but he was muttering in his heart, what kind of medicine is this prince carrying in the gourd?

　　It's a pity that they were all tight-lipped, which caused Sun Shaozu to go up and down and itchy.

　　Turning to Osmanthus Xia's house, since the young lady was brought back from the palace, her injuries haven't healed yet, but her temper is more... casual.Everyone can't figure out her likes and dislikes, and they punish people at every turn.The tricks are endless, and everyone below said that this is the new world she saw in the palace.

　　Even Xia Xu Shi couldn't see it, and persuaded: "You should recuperate, what are you tossing them for?"

　　Xia Jingui said angrily, "They are all talking behind their backs, thinking I don't know? I pulled out their tongues, and I laughed in my heart!"

　　Xia Xu Shi also hated: "In the future, if you hear someone chewing their tongue, break their legs and throw them out. Don't make yourself difficult for them."

　　Xia Jingui asked, "I heard Bao Chan say that someone from the palace has come again?"

　　Xia Xushi's face changed slightly, and he smiled: "I just came to deliver the plaster, and asked if you are okay."

　　Xia Jingui shook his head and said, "Mother don't have to lie to me, they are here to ask for money, right?"

　　Xia Xu said: "Isn't it like this before? We take shelter under their banner, and we must always honor them."

　　"I just took [-] taels last month, and I moved [-] taels this month, right? What about next month?" Xia Jingui frowned, "I didn't say that to me back then."

　　Xia Xu sighed: "Silly boy, can you believe a man when he is in bed? My mother was confused for a while, and promised the prince to cheat Jia's house, but I didn't expect that not only did the palace seedlings lose the news, but also the suburban Zhuangtian who got it. It flew, and by the way, I fell into it. Now their father and son have decided that we are the meat on the chopping board, and they have no scruples about taking or taking. It's all because the mother is too greedy to be fooled! You say we mother and daughter What do you need so much money for?"

　　Xia Jingui smiled and said, "Because men in this world are unreliable, only silver is theirs. Mother, didn't you teach me that before?"

　　Xia Xu shook his head, "Now my mother knows, too much money will be a disaster! Right now is a hurdle that we can't overcome."

　　Xia Jingui was stunned, and she knew that even though the Jia Mansion had lost face in this matter, it was actually a tael of silver.The one who loses the most is his own family. Not to mention the loss of money, he even offends the Jia family for nothing.In the past few days, many old customers have reduced their orders. This situation will definitely become more and more common in the future. What's more serious is that the Wangfu's reckless withdrawal of funds has caused the Xia family's capital chain to break, which directly led to the loss of the Xia family. .

　　He is clearly holding a golden rice bowl, but he is helplessly watching losses but can do nothing.

　　"Don't they know the harm of killing chickens to get their eggs and drying up the lake to fish?"

　　Xia Xushi smiled bitterly, "Perhaps for them, we are not our own chickens, nor our own water, so they won't care so much!"

　　The mother and daughter have won the praise of Manshenjing with infinite beauty, and they fell into such a dilemma in a blink of an eye. The root of the problem is that he is a chess piece on the chessboard, but he regards himself as a chess player. When I thought I had the last laugh, I realized that all this was just a game set up by others.Jumping up and down by himself is as ridiculous as a monkey in the eyes of others.

　　"It shouldn't have been involved in the first place, misunderstood the situation, and so on!"

　　Jin Gui smiled and said: "The chess pieces have no right to speak. At that time, the prince wanted to do that. Can we refuse? They all bully our family without a man, and Nuoda's property is always owned by others." She laughed more and more. Loudly, tears came out of laughter.

　　"I'm not convinced! In what way am I worse than those men? Regardless of poetry, writing, or knowledge, I can overwhelm a group of men, why can't I be independent?"

　　Xia Xu said softly: "Son, you are too strong, don't wait until you hit your head and bleed to find out that you are just an egg."

　　Jin Gui sighed: "How could I not know? If it goes on like this, the Xia family will always be swallowed up by the palace. At that time, our mother and daughter will have to live by the looks of their father and son, and we will leave some scraps when we are obedient. Zhi, sour water, leftovers, disobedient, not even his own body, there are one or two more solitary graves on the mass burial mound outside the city."

　　Xia Xu hurriedly persuaded: "It's not so far, my mother still has a sum of money, which was left by your father before his death. Let's not want the Xia family, find another place, and the mother and son can live in peace and stability."

　　Jin Gui smiled and said, "I can't bear it! Besides, I'm also the daughter-in-law of Jia Jiarong's country, so they can see the people in the palace bully me?"

　　Xia Xu stopped her, "It's too late for the Jia family to hate us, how can they come to save us? Don't think like that!"

　　Jin Gui sneered, "Looking at my methods, I'll call them to fight before we can get out."

　　Xia Xushi asked suspiciously, "What method?"

　　Then Jin Gui only said a few words, Xia Xu's face paled, "Is this... feasible?"

　　Jin Gui smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother, nothing will fail. Even if we lose our hands, we have nothing to lose!"

　　Xia Xushi weighed it again and again, but still couldn't make up his mind.

　　However, Jin Gui directly called outside, "Sam Xia!"

　　The housekeeper, Sam Xia, came in, "Madam, miss, what do you want to tell me?"

　　Jin Gui smiled and said: "You go and invite the Prince of Zhongshun to drink at home tomorrow, saying that it is a gift. Then go to Jia Jiarong State House, and in the name of the wife, invite them to come over, saying that I will send them my dowry in advance. Home, be sure to invite the old lady or the second master Bao to check it out."

　　Sam Xia took it down and asked again, "What if the Jia family doesn't come?"

　　Jin Gui sneered, "If you don't come, then you will find out about the greedy and lustful surname Jia, and you can just find one!"

　　Sam Xia went to invite someone by himself.

　　In Rongguo Mansion, Lin Zhixiao took Sam Xia to Mengpozhai and met Jia Zheng.That Sam Xia hurriedly knelt down and called his lord. Jia Zheng immediately changed his color and snorted coldly: "Your wife is a high-level manipulative planner. What tricks do you want to play? Go back and tell your wife that yes. My family's Baoyu can't climb up to your Xia family, and wait for us to break off the marriage! Keep your dowry for your own use!" Without giving Sam Xia a chance to speak, a few servants just coaxed them out.

　　Sam Xia also had trouble going into and out of the nobles' houses, so how did he endure this kind of humiliation?The skin is flushed red. "Bah! You wait!"

　　So he went to the brothel of the casino in the streets and alleys to inquire, and he visited a man named Jia Qin who met the standards of a young lady.

　　This Jia Qin was idle, and the clan also arranged his duties, and he was too busy to work. He was dismissed soon after doing it. He was not serious, relying on the Jia family's shelter, and living on credit everywhere, every time he was caught by the clan, They were all beaten to death, but they were tired of teaching and did not change, and within two days they returned to their old ways.Jia's mansion didn't do anything for him either. He just told his neighbors that he could no longer give him credit in the future. Therefore, Jia Qin's money was very tight recently.When Sam Xia put one ingot and twenty taels of silver in front of him, Jia Qin agreed immediately. Even if you asked him to sell his daughter-in-law at this moment, he would also agree.

　　On the second day, Prince Zhongshun really came to the Xia family.

　　After extending the invitation to the hall, there was no greeting, and the prince asked, "What is the honor?"

　　Before Xia Xushi could speak, he heard the prince smile: "If it's your daughter, then forget it, the things that have been used are worthless. But if it's your wife, it's barely worth it!"

　　Xia Xu's face was unnatural, and she didn't dare to get angry, "His Royal Highness is joking, and the concubine is old and wrinkled. It is a blessing for her to be able to serve His Royal Highness with the appearance of Jingui and Puliu!"

　　The prince smiled and said, "I think she can use the Xia family's wealth as a dowry. If I inherit the throne, she must be a concubine!" Abuse means superfluous, and does not occupy the official establishment. The concubines, let alone concubines who are admitted in the palace, are not recognized by the imperial court.To put it another way, the concubine side is actually a concubine, but she has a formal seal and is regarded as a concubine.

　　Xia Xu's family could hardly sit still. With the Xia family's hundreds of thousands of wealth, is it only worth a nameless concubine?This is too deceiving!
