Chapter 70

It is said that in the early spring of this year, the joy of the year has not yet passed, and a decree was passed down in the palace. I read the book at 0 o'clock and now I think that all the concubines in the palace have been in the palace for many years. I think that my parents and family members miss each other and cannot meet each other. I specially called the Supreme Emperor and Empress Dowager Xu Jiao's family members to enter the palace for a visit. If there are any other people in Chongyu's courtyard, you might as well ask the inner court to enter their private place. The capital was suddenly in an uproar, and everyone praised this as a strange thing that was unprecedented. At that time, the daughters were all fond of the holy beloved in the palace. All the families who were busy looking at the ground and buying antiques of wood and stone, which was extremely lively.

Gong Kun was not in a hurry to collect debts from each company, but waited leisurely for the debtor to come to the door with the money. No one asked him where the news came from, but he just sued him again and again. If there was any news in the palace, he would just sell it. In this way, he made a fortune of 500,000 taels.

Jia Cong never got so much money in his two lives. At first, he was happy for half a day when he knew the amount. Now that he really saw the silver bill, his eyes shining brighter. After thinking for a while, he looked at Gong Kun and sighed, "I only realized today that people really can change."

Gong Kun asked, "How can I see it?"

Jia Cong said: "My plan is to secretly hide some strength to protect yourself and be a playboy in this life. Later, I got several trustworthy people, and with your help, and now I still have so much money. I feel that ambitions are beginning to grow from my idle heart."

Gong Kun smiled and said, "I'm afraid the ambition has woken up."

Jia Cong glanced at him.

Gong Kun said: "The third master was so stupid that he was willing to teach Liu Feng and the others to read. Why didn't he think about teaching Lan Xiang Ziguang to read?"

Jia Cong was stunned and smiled bitterly, "At that time... I had a hard time and wanted to please my father. My father valued those personal uncles, and the personal uncle valued their children, and their children missed their children."

Gong Kun said: "If it were just for this, the Third Master would be enough to treat Weiss well. How troublesome is to teach so many people to read? The Third Master is a person who is afraid of trouble."

Jia Cong thought for a while: "That's right. I can't guarantee that I already had some other thoughts at that time, I just didn't notice it myself." He said, "Yizhi, if I asked my father for some more people, would he agree?"

Gong Kun asked: "What are you going to do?"

Jia Cong said: "It's considered a guard."

Gong Kun said: "The third master's house is too small to live in. Unless there is a yard."

"The courtyard..." Jia Cong's mind was circling the map of Rongguo Mansion and said, "Then he could only bomb the Xue family and think of Li Xiangyuan."

Gong Kun smiled and said, "This is not easy. Does the Third Master have any ideas?"

Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "Hey, you are the strategist. Are you thinking about why they have to rely on our family? It's not that they have no money. I heard that there are houses in Beijing."

Gong Kun said: "What if their family is rich? This is the capital city, the high-ranking officials and nobles on the streets, and the Xue family is incompetent. If you don't rely on your mansion and borrow your name, you can get rid of it with the money he has, the powerful, father-in-law, and slaves together, and it will take less than two years to eat it."

Jia Cong said: "There is still Wang Ziteng?"

Gong Kun smiled and said, "I'm afraid the Xue family's uncle is unwilling to be bound by his uncle."

Jia Cong sneered: "Wang Ziteng's own son is just like that, will he still care about him? I heard that the second wife has been trying to borrow money from Aunt Xue. If they don't leave, they will be emptied."

Gong Kun said: "With Xue Pan here, you must be emptied by others if you don't get it out. You can just do it every day, and everyone will do it. The second wife can't pay it out and you can get it out if you can't pay it out."

Jia Cong was speechless for a long time and said, "We are really a group of people... I thought about it a long time ago, but sure enough, without their second wife, I can't afford the money."

Gong Kun smiled and said, "Isn't the Third Master turning against me if I get the advantage?"

Jia Cong snorted: "I have never had a good face with them, so where can I turn it up?"

That night, he went to look for Jia She, pulled him to act coquettishly, and whispered: "Dad, I want to live in Lixiangyuan."

Jia She browed at first, then looked at him indifferently: "Where is the Xue family?"

Jia Cong said: "I tried to let them move out. Now that the saint issued an order, all the empresses are ready to visit the bride. The elder sister in the palace still has no movement, probably waiting next to her age. I heard that the second wife finally understood that there was no chance of this matter recently, and she cried every day. Aunt Xue probably knew that the Xue family's dream of entering the palace to be the empress should wake up. Take advantage of this moment and drove the Xue family to the Wang family to forget about it."

Jia She said: "I don't bother with these troubles. If you can blow them out, I will let you live."

Jia Cong was overjoyed: "Really? What if the ancestors didn't agree?"

Jia She snorted: "You can move in, but if you don't come out, what can she do to you? I will prepare some fights with you to guard the yard. The girls under her will be able to withstand the little tricks. They are talented."

Jia Cong jumped happily: "Dad, you are so good! I was thinking about asking you for a few more thugs in a few days."

Jia She glanced at him: "What do you want to do if you want to do a thug?"

Jia Cong giggled twice and said, "Prepare for now, I can't guarantee what to do in the future."

Jia She stared at him and asked, "How many?"

Jia Cong said: "A dozens of people are always there."

Jia She nodded: "This is easy to deal with. I'm afraid the old lady will talk bad about you with some relatives who are not close to you in the future."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "She can't do anything to do to her father every day, let alone how big is I? When I grow up, these rumors will still remember. Besides, I will be in high school tomorrow. My reputation and character are decided by the saints, and it is uncle Lin and Mr. Su who has the final say, and she has the final say?"

Jia She couldn't help but smile and said, "You guys are the most terrifying. Forget it, just go."

Jia Cong waved his arm happily and said, "I'm determined!" He ran out quickly, and after a while, he ran back, "Dad! Tighten the hook!"

Jia She was funny for a moment and banged him: "Go! Children's activities."

Jia Cong stuck to him and acted coquettishly: "Is he a child originally? Daddy hooked and hooked~~"

Seeing that he looked cute, Jia She really stretched out his finger to hook him up. Jia Cong shouted "Thank you dad" and ran away.

After a few days, Xue Pan was drinking in the flower building. After drinking two more glasses, he stumbled to go to Xiaojie and was dizzy to go back to the table. Suddenly someone kicked him from behind, and Xue Pan immediately fell and chewed the mud. He wanted to curse, but someone stuffed his mouth with a handkerchief, and another bag put his head from behind, twisted his arms and stuffed it into a room near him.

Xue Pan was anxious and afraid. After struggling for a long time, the hands that held him were like iron, and he couldn't move at all, and he couldn't shout out loud, making his eyes dimly dark.

As soon as I entered the room, someone asked, "Is it him? Have you seen it?"

The one who grabbed him said, "It's this kid, I'm definitely not going to be fooled!" He kicked Xue Pan in the back and kicked him to the ground, and stepped on his back.

Someone sneered: "It's easy to mess with our young master if we don't ask about it!"

Another question: "Who is this kid who is not afraid of death?"

The one in front said, "No matter who he is, I'll beat him up first and vent my anger! I'll check it back and leave him here if I'm so fucked, and I'll cut him to silence me if I'm so fucked."

Xue Pan immediately struggled hard, and the foot that was stepping on the back was extremely strong and could not move. He could only make a "whimper" sound. The foot suddenly raised, and Xue Pan was not even able to get up. He punched and kicked down like raindrops, mixed with a lot of abuse, which made Xue Pan unable to move like mud. At first he wanted to speak, but later he couldn't even get angry, so he had to hold his head and hold it hard.

I don’t know how long it took, but after finally getting beaten up by these people, I heard them stop talking a few words. Someone came in outside and said with a smile: “I asked, it’s okay. This kid is not a character.”

Xue Pan wanted to tell them that he was Uncle Xue, but he was afraid he would be silenced. Moreover, he couldn't speak at this moment and had to fall to the ground to pretend to be dead.

Someone kicked him again: "I haven't moved for half a day, don't be beaten to death."

The inquirer laughed and said, "It's okay to be beaten to death. If it were just a few years ago, it wouldn't be a big deal now. This kid's surname is Xue, a merchant from Nanjing. He killed someone in Jinling in his early years and came to the capital to avoid disaster. He had a relative with the second wife of Rongguo Mansion, and his whole family lived in that mansion. Unfortunately, the two houses of Rongguo Mansion were not in harmony. In the past, they were the head of the second house, so they took out the films from the mansion at will. The Xue family was doing well. Now the second house has long collapsed, so they can only get Jia Zheng's films. Jia Zheng was a fifth-rank official, so who should take care of him?"

Another smiled and said, "It turned out to be him, isn't it just the fool Xue who often calls him? The one who is best to coax money, no matter the husband in the kiln, who is not too shameful, can make a lot of money by swaying in front of him and flattering a few words. I heard that the second wife of Rongguo Mansion was greedy for public accounts and asked the big house to find out and forced her to pay back the money. The woman couldn't bear to give up her own private house. In the end, the Xue family paid hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for her. I don't know if it was true."

Another said: "Why did I hear that the second wife advocated her daughter to be the queen every day? The Xue family believed it and wanted to send her daughter to the palace to seek some wealth and bribe her?"

Another said: "The gossip you all heard is not on the spot. What I heard is true. The daughter of the Xue family wants to marry the son who is holding a stone in his mouth. The hundreds of thousands of dollars are the dowry money in advance."

The one in front of him smiled and said, "I have never heard of prepayment of dowry since ancient times, so how could you hear gossip?"

The man said, "I heard Yulan say something in Cuixianglou a few months ago, and she also heard the guests say something. The guest was the chief manager of the second house of Rongguo Mansion. The two houses were the most ruthless and were in trouble at that time, so the big house was taken out and sold. Fortunately, his son-in-law was originally from outside and bought his father-in-law's family. Now he has no money and no ability, so he goes to the kiln every day. His son-in-law is also quite conscientious, because at first he relied on his father-in-law's power that day, so he treats him well. Later, he met some girl in the second wife's house. After hearing some gossip, he said to have fun with the kiln sister."

He paused and said, "The son of the Xue family - this is this. He has no ability. He will only cause trouble every day. Mrs. Xue is afraid that he will cause trouble again. He also sees that the second house of Rongguo Mansion has lost power. He is afraid that he will cause trouble in the future and ignores the Rongguo Mansion more and more. He only spent 400,000 or 500,000 yuan to stuff his daughter to the stone-carrying person. After all, he is considered a relative of an official, and he will be considered a robbery in the future."

Another smiled and said, "What a superficial woman! So what about the relatives of officials? The capital is no better than the Jinling Mansion. The lower part is the horoscope at the entrance of the yamen. Don't come in if you have any reason or no money; if you have any money or no official in the capital, don't come in if you have any lawsuits. If their family goes to sue, no one will pay attention to him. I heard that someone has started to make a decision on their family, but I am afraid that there will be troubles in some time to test. If two lawsuits are fought, they will have no choice but to understand that this is a very fat lamb. The meat is in the pot, and everyone has soup to drink, just look at who will take the initiative. I can't guarantee that the second wife will cut her first."

The one in front said again: "The second wife's own plan is the second wife. Jia Zheng and their old lady don't know. Is it still a matter of whether this family will be successful or not?"

Another laughed and said, "If you can't get married, it's a big deal to pay back the money."

"Forget it, the second wife of Rongguo Mansion is almost greedy and smokes. She takes out all the money from the oil pan and hides it. Half of the capital knows that it is better to expect Rongguo Mansion to search the house than to pay back the money!"

Everyone laughed.

After laughing, someone asked, "What should I do with this person?"

Another said: "What else should I deal with? I don't have anything to do with us. Go back and receive the reward!"

A group of people laughed and made a few noises, and came over and kicked Xue Pan a few more before leaving.

Xue Pan was already shocked at this time, and his whole body was as iced into his heart as if he had drunk cold water in the twelfth lunar month. He couldn't even remember the pain and lay motionless on the ground.

On the other side, because he was missing, the little boy with him could not wait for their uncle for half a day. The one who had drunk with him smiled and said, "Don't fall into the pit."

The boys were afraid that they would not explain when they went back, so they searched everywhere and asked the people from the flower building to help them. After searching for a long time, they finally saw a person lying on the ground in an empty room without moving. They were wearing their uncle's clothes and came over to see a cloth bag on their heads. The boys hurriedly took off the cloth bag and looked at the face carefully - although they were green, purple and swollen, they could still tell that they were their uncles, but they didn't know how to live or die, and they couldn't help but cry.

After a while, a man from the Hualou came over and looked at Xue Pan's breath with his fingers and said, "Don't cry, he's still alive." Then he helped him up, followed a group of people watching the fun and helped him to the house where he was having a drink. Someone got some incense for him to smell it for a while, and it took him half a day to wake up.

Xue Pan narrowed his eyes and looked at the people in the room, closed his eyes and moaned a few more times. Now he was unable to drink in this way, so he just said that he would go home.

The little boy responded quickly and carried him downstairs. Several people wanted to help him get on the horse. A friend who was drinking from behind cursed: "I'm confused! How can I ride a horse like this? Why don't you hire a cart?" The little boy then hurriedly called a carriage on the street to stuff Xue Pan in and pulled him back to Lixiangyuan.
