But he said that Jia Cong was repeating his old tricks, implying that if Yuan Chun got some unusual reputation, he might be able to enter a wealthy family. Jia Zheng took the bait again. He read at Ling Shi and went to tell Jia's mother in person.
Jia's mother was originally worried about what happened to Yuanchun. Even if she entered the Xian Prince's palace, she would not be able to get a good position. She thought this was an excuse for Jia Cong to fight for Yuanchun's status. She was secretly happy, but she was a little hesitant: "Since ancient times, women have no talent.
That's right. Even if she enters the palace, she can't be a main concubine. How can a side concubine use these skills?"
Jia Zheng heard that it made sense at first, so he said half a sentence: "It's true, I guess Cong'er doesn't know..." Something suddenly exploded in his mind, and he trembled, "Old lady... Cong'er
Although he is young, he is thoughtful and insightful. He is not an ordinary child. How could he not know this?"
Jia's mother was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Jia Zheng. When the mother and son's eyes met, they couldn't help but think of the same thing: Could it be?!
Jia Zheng ran out and shouted: "Go and invite Cong'er!" A boy responded and walked a few steps. He shouted again, "Come back!" The boy hurriedly ran back. Jia Zheng then
After walking around Jia Mu's yard for a few times with her arms behind her back, she ordered again, "Call Huan'er, come quickly."
Not long after, Jia Huan came running up, wiping his sweat and asked the master and the old lady why they were calling him.
Jia Zheng didn't bother scolding him for his poor manners, grabbed his hand and asked: "Do you know that Cong'er is planning a marriage for your eldest sister?"
Jia Huan blinked: "I have never heard of this. Cong'er is a ghost, and there is never any news about things that are not completely sure."
Jia Zheng suddenly felt disappointed and asked again without giving up: "Did you really say that? Not at all?"
Jia Huan shook his head: "He only said that our sister must be a big wife..."
Before he finished speaking, Jia's mother and Jia Zheng exclaimed in unison, their faces full of surprise and disbelief. Jia Huan looked at the two of them in confusion.
Jia Zheng was so excited that he trembled for a long time, took a few deep breaths to calm down, and looked at Jia Mu for a few times. After a while, he suddenly frowned and said: "If Yuan'er goes to rectify the family education, I'm afraid someone in the clan will not agree.
"
Jia Huan frowned and said, "Brother Zhen, won't you?"
Jia Zhengdao: "How can he care about this? I'm afraid some of the current family members are unwilling."
Jia Huan wrinkled his nose and muttered: "How old are they? It doesn't matter what they say. If they get too verbose, I'll ask my uncle to beat them up and see who dares to cause trouble."
Jia Zheng scolded: "Nonsense!"
Jia Huan made a face.
Jia Mu nodded and said, "It would be cheaper if I let the boss talk about this matter."
Jia Huan chuckled and complimented sincerely: "My ancestors are right! Our ancestors are still wise."
As expected, Jia's mother sent Yuanyang to tell the matter to Jia She; Jia Huan pretended to say goodbye, but because his legs and feet were faster, he ran ahead of Yuanyang to Jia She's courtyard, laughed and told the story quickly.
Jia She scolded: "Everything that offends others can be blamed on me!"
Jia Huan said with a smile: "Uncle, I'm completely dependent on you! It's just like staring at someone else. He's thin-skinned, and he can't do anything seriously."
Jia She glared at him and said, "Am I shameless?"
Jia Huan smiled and said flatteringly: "Cong'er often says that being thick-skinned is a way of complimenting people. I'm getting thicker and thicker."
Jia She raised his hand and knocked him.
Jia She was not an easy man, so he sent a eloquent boy to Ningguo Mansion to find Jia Zhen, and vividly told Jia Zheng how angry he was because of his family education, and kept saying that Jia Zheng wanted to rectify his family education.
At this moment, the Ningguo Mansion is still busy organizing Jia Zhen's funeral. Zhao Cheng comes over again and again to investigate. People from the Niu family also come crying and asking questions all day long. Jia Rong is still lying on the kang and can't help at all.
, Jia Zhen was going crazy. When she heard that her family studies had gone awry again, she just waved her hand and said: "Who cares? Who cares? Anyway, I don't have the time!"
The boy said with a sad face: "Uncle Zhen, our eldest brother said that you are the leader of the clan, so naturally you should be in charge of these things, or you can discuss and select someone to take charge. It is not inconvenient for us two masters to make the decision ourselves.
"
Jia Zhen said hurriedly: "It's very appropriate for my two uncles to make the decision. Since that's the case, I'll leave it to my two uncles."
The boy then ran back, and then came over and said, "Our master said, is this good? They will go pick some people first, and then ask Uncle Zhen what he wants."
Coincidentally, Zhao Cheng came again at this moment. Jia Zhen waved her hand and said: "No need to ask, where are my two uncles who are knowledgeable? They can just appoint someone."
The boy ran back and forth again, and when he came back Zhao Cheng and Niu Jiyao's brother Niu Jizong were there, so he replied in front of them: "Our master said it still can't be done, and Uncle Zhen must come together to discuss it.
What if the person they choose, Uncle Zhen, doesn’t agree?"
Jia Zhenlian said: "I agree! My nephew agreed first to the person chosen by the two uncles!" Then he explained to Zhao Niu and the others, "Our two uncles in Xifu want to choose people from the clan to reorganize the family education. I
Where do you have time to take care of that? Besides, my two uncles have always been very sensible and far-sighted. But it’s up to them to make the decision."
Both Zhao Niu nodded in agreement.
The boy climbed along the pole and said: "Uncle Zhen and two adults, the little one has been running back and forth many times, so you pity the little one. This matter can be regarded as asking the two adults to testify, and Uncle Zhen also
How about we leave it to our two masters to make the decision?"
Zhao Niu and Zhao Niu also disliked him always writing ink here, and both said: "Yes, yes, we will testify. This child is pitiful. He is sweating from running around. Go ahead."
The boy hurriedly knocked his head three times and ran away.
After saying this, what do others mean? Jia Shezhi sent two people to inform Jia Dairu and others, and then sent a letter to Yuanchun.
This incident resounded like thunder in the Jia family. People with children studying in their families already knew about Jia Zheng's anger a few days ago. They thought they would invite some great scholar, but who knew that the person they invited was a nun! Even if it is an honor,
What about the eldest girls from the government? Weren’t they sent home by the Prince of Nan’an? None of them agreed.
When the news came to Jia Zhen's ears, she was shocked and rushed to Rongguo Mansion regardless of the chaos at home. He thought that it was Jia Zheng who did it, but he had a headache when he thought of Jia Zheng's Taoist appearance, so he came to Rongguo Mansion instead.
Looking for Jia She.
Jia She only said one sentence to him: "Why don't you ask Mr. Zhao and Mr. Niu to testify together? You will ignore this matter and let us make the decision?"
Jia Zhen said anxiously: "You can't let the elder sister take care of it! She is a woman!"
Jia She said: "What kind of woman! She became a monk and is now neither a man nor a woman."
Jia Zhen choked, and then said: "How can our ancestors agree?"
"This is what she ordered us to do."
Jia Zhen was stunned.
Jia She waved his hand: "That's it, I'm busy."
Jia Zhen was anxious: "How can the clan members agree?"
Jia She snorted: "Who are they? If you have the ability, don't come to study at home."
Jia Zhen had no choice but to go to Jia Zheng's office to look for him again. This time, it was even more of a headache. Jia Zhengzi's poems made him numb, but he still didn't understand what Jia Zheng wanted to say, so he just ignored him.
Let them make trouble!
A few days later, Jia Yuanchun, dressed in Ziyi and riding a small carriage, arrived at Jia's house to study, followed by two maids and four stout women.
Jia Dairu pretended to be ill at home because he was sulky, and Jia Rui was the only one who took charge. Many students in the home school did not come. The few who came prepared some tricky troubles for the nun's amusement, and most of them wanted to take a look.
They all stretched their necks and waited to find out what the eldest girl from Rongguo Mansion looked like. The moment Yuan Chun entered the door, the whole school immediately fell silent, and all the students from Jia Rui to the other students gasped.
This woman is in her twenties. She has no make-up and is dressed in Ziyi clothes. She is practicing meditation with her hair tied up. Her eyebrows are more graceful, her teeth are white and her lips are red, her hair is as black as ink, and her expression is dignified and solemn. She looks like a jade sculpture.
Bodhisattva statue carved in ice.
Yuanchun never expected that many of the methods she had prepared would be useless, and she could subdue a room full of schoolchildren just by showing her face.
She then sent people back to Rongguo Mansion to ask Jia Huan to find two talented gentlemen for her. Jia Huan turned around and asked Gong Sanyi about the matter. Gong Sanyi had been inquiring about Yuanchun, so he specially found two gentlemen.
There are Mr. Shixue, both in their early thirties, with good looks. One of them, Mr. Wei, never married because his family was poor, and the other, Mr. Huang, was widowed for several years and his only son died in infancy. Jia Lian was annoyed again and invited them to come.
The Jia family teaches religion, and its cultivation is naturally higher than that of other families. When these two people heard that "there is really no other way, I have to bother the eldest daughter who has become a monk to take care of her family education for the time being." They both shook their heads and persuaded each other, secretly planning to wait until they had sorted themselves out.
The school officials sent the old nun back to the nunnery. Unexpectedly, when she saw Yuan Chun, she became crazy and never mentioned a word again.
Yuanchun set a timetable for going to school every day, and said: "The prince in the palace goes to school at Mao Shi." He also ordered the school to prepare tea and snacks, and no longer allowed school children to bring snacks from home for fear of comparison. No gold, jade, wealth or accessories were allowed to enter the school.
Jia Cong came up with another idea for her: scholarships will be given to schools where she is studying extremely well and will be reviewed every six months; bursaries will be given to schools where her family is poor but her studies are good.
There is no need for idlers. Yuanchun herself often answered the students' questions and could explain everything clearly, so the students gathered around her when she came. At first, the two gentlemen thought she was just a beautiful nun.
After listening to several words, I realized that this female genius was not inferior to me, and I respected her even more.
The style of Jia's sect suddenly changed. Yuan Chun once laughed at himself in the mirror: This face is useless in the palace and useless in the palace, but it actually came in handy in the school.
Jia Dairu was waiting at home, and everyone was begging him to go home and learn how to take charge of everything. After waiting for more than a month, no one paid any attention to him. Jia Rui was still doing everything for Jia's family every day, and it turned out to be...
I'm really sick.
On the other side, Zhao Cheng interrogated the servants in Ningguo Mansion and the Taoist priests who performed rituals had no clues, and he was very annoyed. But on this day, he overheard someone chatting in Ningguo Mansion about the "Avengers", and he suddenly felt like he was being poured out.
Sobering up like a bucket of cold water, he chased the man and asked: "What Avengers?"
The servant said: "I heard they are a group of green forest heroes who specialize in avenging others - our uncle Rong fell into their trap."
Zhao Cheng suddenly remembered that that day, Jia Rong was beaten by a group of people wearing Journey to the West masks who came to report the crime. The people who beat him called themselves the "Kingto Avengers" and said that everyone except those with the surname Tianjia
Dare to beat him up. Could it be that "Avengers" is not a name but a simplification of "Avengers"? He immediately felt enlightened and went to see Jia Rong.
When Jia Rong heard that the person who killed Niu Jiyao was the one who beat him, Jia Rong didn't care that the injury was not healed yet, so he told the story of that day in detail. But he really didn't know how much, so he told
He didn't say the same thing. Zhao Cheng asked him to think carefully about whether he had ever given anyone a cuckold. Jia Rong smiled bitterly and said: "Master Zhao, I always love Mianhuasuliu. I am an expert in the romantic field. How can I remember those many things?"
." After thinking carefully for a long time, Zhao Cheng listed many women he had frequented in the past few months. Zhao Cheng took the list and ordered his men to check one by one. Since most of them were pink-headed prostitutes, nothing could be found.
come out.
There was really nothing he could do, so he went to ask Niu Jizong again: "Master Niu, think about it carefully, do you really have no enemies?"
Niu Jizong smiled bitterly and said: "My younger brother is just a playboy, how can he not have enemies? It's just that he has been wiped out."
Zhao Chengdao: "Why don't you list it in detail and let's check it out?"
Niu Jizong had a headache about his younger brother. He rarely asked about it, and he didn't know who he had offended, so he had to order a few confidants around him to think about it.
Zhao Cheng took the list and took a look and saw Jiang Zirong. He heard this name from Jia Rong a few days ago, and it was the dude who was with him when Jia Rong was beaten. Because he knew that this person was also
The high-ranking disciples did not say anything, but ordered Niu Jiyao's confidants to explain their grudges in detail from the beginning. When they heard, "The brother of the young master of the Jiang family is not willing to let go, but our family has spent a lot of money by joining forces with their parents' room."
It took all my strength to push it down." I had already guessed in my mind. When I returned to the Yamen, I immediately ordered someone to investigate carefully, and soon I found out that something was wrong with Jiang Zirong.
Niu Jiyao had a grudge against him for killing his younger brother. He once asked about the "Kyoto Avengers" in the market, but then suddenly stopped asking - the lack of information was a sign of trust. He had sold off his antique property a while ago, and after Niu Jiyao's death
He immediately changed his former playboy behavior and turned back! Is there anyone more suspicious than him? The lineage of buying and selling murders is clear.
It's just that he has another headache. He can't afford to offend the Zhenguo Mansion, but how can he afford the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion? Even though these two families have their own merits, who wants to crush him to death for a mere sixth-grade official with just one finger?
What's more, he had no evidence, so how could he interrogate a high-ranking disciple like Jiang Zirong without any reason? He couldn't help but feel worried and resentful.
But at this moment, someone came to report that a maid from Ningguo Mansion had come and wanted to see Mr. Zhao alone. Although Zhao Cheng was puzzled in every possible way, he hurriedly invited the maid in.
This little girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old. She had a peaceful face. She kowtowed to him steadily and said, "Please forgive me for being rude. I have been ordered by my master to tell you what I have to say."
Seeing that she was extremely calm, Zhao Cheng couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart: A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Ningguo Mansion is in a terrible state, it still has a foundation after all. This little girl is quite impressive. He ordered everyone to leave.
.
The little girl said: "I am from Grandma Xiaorong of Ningguo Mansion. My master sent me to report something to you."
Zhao Cheng asked what was going on.
"She suspected that the person who beat our uncle a few days ago was from Xifu."
Zhao Cheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt dark clouds covering his head! The Zhenguo Mansion, Ningguo Mansion, and Pingyuan Marquis Mansion were already a headache, so why not add the Rongguo Mansion? After feeling worried for a while, he asked feebly: "Why is your grandma suspicious of them?"
In the mansion?"
The little girl said: "A few days ago, the old lady in the West Mansion wanted to take in an aunt from a good family for the second master of their family. Because our uncle had a grudge with some young masters in their house, he ordered our grandma to marry them.
My wife recommended the two aunts brought by my wife’s stepmother from her ex-husband to our house. Neither of those two aunts nor the two men in our house are clean."
Zhao Cheng first heard that her grandparents had a lot of headaches, but then she suddenly heard that "none of them were very clean" and couldn't help but stare.
"At first when the two aunts went to see the old lady, she was very happy. But only two days later, when our grandma secretly sent people to their house to inquire about it, they heard that the old lady became furious that night.
, those two little aunts are not allowed to enter the house anymore. There is no airtight wall in the world, and the affairs of those two little aunts are not secret. Now everyone in the capital knows about the gossip. The one who beats Liu is
The next sentence is, let our uncle keep the cuckold to himself. Our grandma was suspicious that Dongfu knew about it, and she was so angry that she found someone to beat our uncle. Neither Mr. Cong nor Mr. Huan from Dongfu were willing
A bad temper."
Zhao Cheng had just met the three brothers from the Jia family at the back door of the Nan'an Prince's Palace not long ago. How could you not know? There is no other family that dares to blatantly go to the Prince's Palace to rob people. Their family also has a bodyguard agency, and the business is light and they have a group of bodyguards.
Master, could it be that they did it?
It’s just that he still has no evidence. Moreover, it’s true that the two young men were so angry that they beat Jia Rong, but how could they have anything to do with any green forest people? On the day Niu Jiyao died, Jia Rong
Cong's little ancestor happened to be in Ningguo Mansion.
Zhao Cheng sent away the little girl who had been wandering around in the hall for a long time, and finally called someone to pull the horse. Without wearing official uniform, he went straight to Ningrong Street in ordinary clothes. When he saw Rongguo Mansion in the distance, he suddenly brought
Zuma Lai thought about it for a while and inquired: "I heard that there is a door in the courtyard of Master Cong of Rongguo Mansion that leads directly to this street. Where is it?"
