Yuanchun returned to Rongguo Mansion safely, and the troubles with Nan'an Prince's Mansion were temporarily over. Reading at midnight The next day, Jia Cong went to greet Jia Mu and returned to Lixiangyuan. Since his brothers had all gone home, he couldn't help but sigh, "It's empty, lonely and cold."
~~"
Lan Xiang came up and said with a smile: "Do you want to go out for a walk?"
Jia Cong stretched his waist and said, "Stay at home for the next few days. Now that the eldest sister is back, there will be no major problems in our family for the time being. Everyone who is supposed to come will come out."
Lan Xiang wondered: "What should come?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door on Ningrong Street rang. After a while, Ziguang came over and said, "Uncle Han is here."
Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "Thanks to his good cultivation, he can endure for so many days." Then he went out to greet him personally.
Han Qi was obviously much thinner than before. He pulled Jia Cong and said, "Cong'er, I won't beat around the bush with you. My uncle died in a strange way. Did you pay attention to anything when you passed by Taiyuan that day?"
Even though he didn't like the Eighth Prince very much, Jia Cong still had a good idea. At this time, he should secretly help the kings instead of the princes. After all, the princes are all the sons of the emperor. Therefore, he told all the branches of the Taiyuan royal family and Han Guang, only
Except that we have guessed that the Jinxiang House has taken refuge with the Eighth Prince. He finally said: "We are just suspicious of that disciple and have no evidence. The Gao family has left someone in Taiyuan. If you want to find someone to identify him, you can go to the Gao family."
people."
After hearing this, Han Qi just said "Thank you" and left the residence of the servant of the Gao family without even taking a sip of tea.
In the afternoon, Feng Ziying sent someone to look for him, but in fact he was told by his superiors to find out what was going on in Rongguo Mansion and Nan'an Prince's Mansion.
Jia Cong knew that there were spies of the saint in their house when Yuanchun was framed, so he angrily scolded the concubine. He always told true lies in front of Feng Ziying, and never restrained himself when he lost his temper.
All the resentment in my stomach was gone. "That old witch is a mad dog! She is so heartless and inhumane! If there weren't so many people watching, I would have slapped her ears!"
Feng Ziying looked at him with a smile and scolded him for a long time, and said: "This matter has nothing to do with the Crown Prince of Nan'an. He will be the king of the county soon. Don't worry about separation."
Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "I'm not familiar with him to begin with, okay? Brother Baoyu is only acquainted with him. He wanted to recognize Brother Baoyu as a friend and should have sent his sister back to our home long ago. He actually agreed to that old witch.
My sister went to the family temple! I think he is not as good as Huo Xuan." He did not remind Huo Sheng of his age and experience, and pretended to sigh, "The Prince of Nan'an has become worse than the last generation~~"
Feng Ziying couldn't help but poke his finger.
Just after returning from Feng's house, Ziguang came up to him and said, "Uncle Xue has been waiting for Third Master all afternoon."
Jia Cong said, "I also have something to do with him." He handed the reins to Lan Xiang and went in.
Xue Pan was restless in the hall at the moment. Seeing him come in, he hurriedly came up to hold hands: "Good brother! You are back."
Jia Cong rubbed his eyes and sat on the chair: "Brother Xue, I'm a little tired, I'm sorry, please let me tilt."
Xue Pan nodded repeatedly: "We brothers don't care about what is polite or not!" He poured tea for him with his own hands and held it over with a smile.
Jia Cong glanced at him: "To show your courtesy for nothing is to be either an adulterer or a thief. Tell me, what's the matter?"
Xue Pan was so busy that he sat down in front of him and said seriously: "I'm looking for your advice. I want to live in an upright and fair place with Ai Yun."
Jia Cong was so frightened that he dropped the tea cup and shouted: "What did you say?!"
Xue Pan poked his head in the neck: "I want to be honest with Aiyun."
Jia Cong looked at him: "Are you willing to agree?"
Xue Pan sighed: "He said he doesn't care. It's just that for a guy like him, if he can't be upright, I feel sorry for him."
Jia Cong had goosebumps all over his body: "I'm talking about Uncle Xue! I am a man, a man, a man! Say important things three times."
Xue Pan said angrily: "I didn't say he was a woman!"
Jia Cong said: "Brother Xue, do you have obsessive-compulsive disorder and want to prove to yourself that you can also be a long-term lover?"
Xue Pan didn't understand and just said: "I really care about him! Good brother, help me think of a way. I know you always have a way."
Jia Cong sighed: "You have to ask Liu Aiyun first and he agrees before you can think of the next step. Since it is a matter between two people, how can one person make the decision? Unless you treat him as a woman."
Xue Pan was quiet for a while and said: "He will agree, I know. Just tell me the next step."
Jia Cong saw that he was very upset, and thought for a while and said: "You are a little bully anyway, and you don't care what others think. Now that you are the head of the Xue family, the most important thing is, will you give birth to a child? Liu Aiyun
Without that organ, a baby cannot be born. If so, what identity will the child's mother be given, how will she get along with Liu Aiyun, how will the child look at Liu Aiyun when he grows up, and will he hate him?"
Xue Pan was stunned.
"If you don't give birth, how will you deal with your mother?" Jia Cong suddenly slapped his head, "Your sister is an ambitious person, why don't you let her adopt one for you? It's just that it's easier to ask for a god than to give it away. If something happens in the future, there will be a bump in the road.
If you touch her, you will inevitably be restrained by her. Unless..."
Xue Pan hurriedly asked: "Unless what?"
Jia Cong looked him up and down and shook his head: "That's all, pretend I didn't say anything."
Xue Pan was anxious and surrounded him, bowing to each other: "Good brother, if you help me this time, you are my great benefactor. I will burn incense and pray to Buddha for you for the rest of my life..."
Jia Cong waved his hand: "It's no use talking to me. Brother Xue, to put it bluntly, you are still a dandy at this moment, living off a few ancestral properties. If you don't manage those ancestral properties properly, you will be ruined in a short time. Unless
You are so capable that even your mother, your uncle, and your sister can't do anything to you."
Xue Pan was startled.
Jia Cong continued: "Although there are thousands of rules in this world, they can only restrain ordinary people. It's okay for ordinary people to be restrained by them. The matter between you and Liu Aiyun is really against human ethics. If you want to succeed,
Only if you have great ability, so great that ordinary rules cannot restrain you; or so great that ordinary people will not care whether you like men or women. But your temper has been developed, and if you are asked to stand up now, what will you do?
Come."
Xue Pan was stunned for another half day, then gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Cong, please show me a clear path. My sister said that where there is a will, there is a way! Tell me what to do."
Jia Cong looked at him and shook his head: "I can't trust you." Just when Xue Pan was about to speak, he continued, "But I can trust Liu Aiyun."
Xue Pan laughed twice and said in high spirits: "You still have the vision!"
Jia Cong's eyes lit up when he saw him, knowing that no matter whether this relationship lasted or not, he really meant it at this moment, so he said: "Don't think Liu Aiyun is just an actor, he has a temperament about him, I believe he is anything but
The thing in the pool. If he comes to me and tells me that you are sincerely willing to make progress, I will believe you and give you advice. Otherwise, don't burden me, your uncle is not someone to be trifled with."
Xue Pan was a straight man. Seeing that he was serious, he left without saying a word and went to look for Liu Aiyun. He didn't even take a sip of tea. Jia Cong looked at his back for a long time before murmuring: "Isn't Xue Pan a double?"
Suddenly Jia Huan came over to see him and asked with a smile: "How many are here today?"
Jia Cong sighed: "Three. Brother Xue doesn't count, just two. There will be one more tomorrow. Brother Lian will go to see his father-in-law tomorrow, so let me go with him. Prince Beijing also came to post, and later
I went to their house to look at the flowers on the day after tomorrow. The serious owner has not shown up yet. It will be three days since my eldest sister came home the day after tomorrow, so various posts should probably come."
Jia Huan asked: "Are you going?"
Jia Cong said with a smile: "Go! Why not? Eat all over the capital!"
Jia Huan put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "You can eat and drink raw. Anyway, I am not as fat as you in my life! If you find some good snacks, bring some back to me." He took two pieces of mung bean cake from his desk and left with satisfaction.
Jia Cong completed his reception task today and had a good sleep.
The next day after breakfast, Jia Lian sent someone to call him. Sister Feng was going to give birth soon. People from the Wang family came often recently, and Jia Lian also went there often.
When he arrived at Wang's house, he went to see Wang Ziteng honestly and said some polite words, and Jia Lian asked Mrs. Wang to call him. Jia Cong knew that Wang Ziteng had something to say, so he sat on the chair and pretended to be good.
Wang Ziteng looked at him for a long time and said, "You have been a little carried away recently, aren't you afraid of attracting attention?"
Jia Cong sighed: "If I can rescue Brother Baoyu without attracting attention, why should I attract attention?"
Wang Ziteng said: "I'm afraid there is no place to hide this time. What are you going to do?"
Jia Cong said: "I will make friends from all over the world and get to know all the famous people in Beijing. If they need me for some small favor, I will help them with advice."
Wang Ziteng raised his eyebrows.
"I am talented and intelligent, can write poems, and can deduce and analyze situations, but I am reckless and rude, and have no regard for human dignity. I am a person with high IQ and low EQ. Like me, noble people only want to win over and will not be too defensive.
Even if I don't agree to join someone's gang for a while, I won't be anxious. After all, I'm still young. In the future, whenever someone invites me to have a meal, enjoy the flowers, or watch a movie, I will go. If people want to be courteous and virtuous, why not give them a chance? I can also get some gifts.
Come back and don’t have to return the favor while you’re still young.”
Wang Ziteng nodded: "What if someone forces you?"
Jia Cong snorted: "Aren't you afraid that I will cause trouble for them? I am a naughty kid who dares to beat up Concubine Nan'an."
Wang Ziteng couldn't help but laugh. He paused for a moment and asked, "What if you can fall in love with the right man?"
Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "It's too risky. Even the crown prince personally appointed by the emperor may become a traitor. Please look at Prince Yi Zhong and his age."
Wang Ziteng was silent after hearing this. After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked: "Is there a son in Feng'er's belly?"
Jia Cong said: "It's my son."
"How do you know?"
"I just know."
Wang Ziteng's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Do you want Rongguo Mansion?"
Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "Master Wang, do you think my ambition and ability are only as big as those of Rongguo Mansion?"
Wang Ziteng looked at him for a while before he suppressed his murderous intent and said with a smile: "I think you are indeed a good person."
Jia Cong said again: "You can't make friends for too long after eating too much, otherwise you will become the Monkey King." Wang Ziteng laughed hoarsely. "After eating for a while, I will lose my mind by playing with things. I will have to ask Mr. Wang for help if I can't keep everything together."
.”
Wang Ziteng smiled and said, "You are my son-in-law's younger brother. It's quite appropriate to call me uncle. Why do you need to be so outspoken?"
Jia Cong immediately changed his mind and said, "My nephew is getting bored playing with his toys, so I asked my uncle for help."
Prince Tengnai asked: "What do you want to play?"
Jia Cong said: "There are many interesting things in the West, such as transmitters and generators. They are all very interesting. Anyway, when the time comes, my nephew will throw the blame on my uncle. I hope you can help pick it up temporarily."
The prince said hurriedly: "I heard that you like Western things?"
Jia Cong said: "Yes, I have always liked it. Why don't I take the opportunity to give me some things to play with when my nephew is born someday?"
Wang Ziteng smiled and said: "This is easy, I have many fun ones."
Jia Cong thought for a while and then said: "There is another thing. I want to seduce my uncle and get brother Xue into trouble."
Wang Ziteng frowned when he heard the word "seduce" and asked what was going on.
Jia Cong stretched out two fingers: "Sale, stolen goods."
Wang Ziteng was startled.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "For now, I can only say these two words. I am waiting for the two people's words before making arrangements. If uncle is willing, we will make money together." He looked straight at Wang Ziteng. "Uncle, if you are not willing, we will make money together."
I want to join the gang and keep my nephew a secret." He stood up and bowed to him.
Wang Ziteng stared at him for a long time, but he just remained motionless. After a long time, Wang Ziteng said, "Aren't you afraid that I will get angry and scold you before telling your father?"
Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "Come on, you're a thousand-year-old vixen, so don't pretend to be a fairy tale! I didn't know how Jia Yucun died at the time, but now I can guess it if I look back."
Wang Ziteng had forgotten about Jia Yucun a long time ago, but when he heard him mention it, he suddenly remembered it and asked hurriedly: "Do you really think he is a wolf?"
Jia Cong nodded seriously: "Really! That moment scared me to death." Nai laughed again, "Looking back, I was really young and very courageous at that time!"
Wang Ziteng snorted: "You are as bold as ever."
Jia Cong said: "Uncle really knows me! Uncle, I don't just pull people into my business. I am one of my own people who has the ability, courage, and likes money. If we don't do this business, we will have someone else do it. Rather than let those people from the market do it."
, it’s better for us to do something bright, clear, upright, and big.”
Wang Ziteng glanced at him: "Can you do it honestly?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "What did I do that was not fair and aboveboard?"
Although Wang Ziteng couldn't guess what tricks he was playing, his appearance seemed reliable, so he nodded and said, "Since this is the case, we don't have to wait until the next day. I can handle it right now."
Jia Cong was overjoyed: "My uncle is really a happy man! Let's make a fortune together in the future!"
Prince Teng also smiled and said: "Who thinks the money is too little?" He raised his tea cup. They drank tea instead of wine and drank it.
The two brothers had a great time at Wang's house that day. The next day, Jia Cong went to the Prince's Mansion in Beijing to look at the flowers, drink tea and eat well. Although Shuirong had a gentle smile on his face, it was clear that he had a purpose. Since he
Not to mention Jia Cong, he didn't bother to inquire, so he went back home with a full stomach. On the third day, he was the second prince, on the fourth day, he was the son of Lord Niu, the chief minister of the cabinet, on the fifth day, he was the sage king Situ Pan, and on the sixth day, he was the empress's son.
On the seventh day of my mother's house, Prince Zhongshun... walked around the palace of Gaomen in the middle of the capital in the blink of an eye. He would go whenever someone invited him, and everyone who was not old would call him brother. He would eat whatever he liked, and he would stare at the things he liked when he saw them.
Seeing that people gave it to him and asked him to write poems, he copied Chen Yi's poetry collection. It really feels like Sun Monkey's second entry into heaven.
Jia Cong just came back from Dongping Prince's Mansion that day. Lan Xiang came over and said, "Xie Jing, the eldest son of Dingcheng Hou Mansion, has been waiting for a long time."
Although Jia Cong had heard of him, he had never seen him, so he hurriedly walked over.
Xie Jing's face was haggard. When he saw a fat man in rich clothes coming in from outside, he guessed that it was Jia Cong. He stepped forward, arched his back and clasped his fists: "I think this is Mr. Cong."
Jia Cong hurriedly returned the gift: "Don't bother to kill your younger brother, you can't afford it." He also ordered someone to bring tea.
The two of them sat down, Xie Jing looked at him and sighed: "It's really presumptuous of me to come here today. I have something to ask Third Master for help."
Jia Cong said: "I'm just a child, what can I do to help?"
Xie Jing said: "Because I heard that the third master deduced the truth about the death of Prince Nan'an a few days ago, I know that you are talented and intelligent, and you know everything." He smiled bitterly, "Our family is really helpless. My third brother disappeared for no reason, and now he is alive.
If you don’t see dead people, you won’t see corpses.”
Jia Cong was startled: "Missing? Are there any clues?"
Xie Jing said: "I only know that he was suddenly very anxious at that time. He refused to tell me when I asked him. He was asking around for an antique."
"What?"
"It is a piece of blue and white porcelain from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, named Dinosaur."
