It was said that the son of King Yan was assassinated, and the city was searched. Someone found a body in an alley in the north of the city. Not long after, he sent it to the Wucheng Army Division. Zhao Cheng was discouraged when he saw it, and hurriedly called some people.
Confirmed, it was indeed the man pretending to be a clerk from Demenglou. This shows how cleanly the two assassins did their job.
Feng Ziying was at a loss as to what to do and sighed: "There are no clues starting from the assassin."
Qin Sangu said: "In the past years, we didn't pay much attention to the people in the green forest. We must pay more attention to them in the future."
Feng Ziying said: "King Chen is indeed very suspicious. I thought, I don't care about my face, so I will arrest Qu Shen for questioning first."
"Master Feng, please excuse me."
Then he secretly took Qu Shen, the uncle of King Chen, and Feng Ziying used all kinds of methods to interrogate him. Qu Shen was not a man of character and had no idea what Feng Ziying wanted to arrest him. After frightening him for a few times, he immediately poured out everything in his stomach.
, his nephew asked him to buy a clean one!
Situ Pan took the confession and sneered: "I always thought that I did not underestimate this boy, but I don't want to underestimate him."
Feng Ziying said: "In fact, although Qu Shen knows a lot, it is not important, and I don't know if it has anything to do with the assassin."
Situ Pan thought for a moment and said: "Now that he has a confession in our hands, it will be easy to handle. Let him go back and teach him how to inquire about his nephew. Then send someone with him to keep an eye on him and teach him how to speak."
." Feng Ziying responded with a smile. Situ Pan added, "Speaking of which, the battle in the south is not over yet? What on earth is Huo Sheng doing there?"
Feng Ziying smiled bitterly and said: "Jia She went to Taiwan to entertain his grandson, and it was inconvenient for Jarvis to go find Huo Sheng by himself. After all, they don't know each other."
Situ Pan thought for a while: "Let Sangu Qin go to Qiongzhou to find out how the war is going over there."
Feng Ziying hurriedly said: "My lord, it would be bad to spy on Huo Sheng about her identity. Huo Sheng died at her hands many times when he was a child."
Situ Pan said: "Her identity is just right." He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. Huo Sheng doesn't dare to fall out with me right now. Even if he dares, Qin Sangu is better than Huo Sheng in kung fu; and Wang Ziteng
One is in Guangdong and Guangxi and the other is in Taiwan with Jia Lian. Since Cong'er knows the old grudge between the two of them, he might be worried and go with him. That guy is smart and better than you." After saying that, he turned and left.
Feng Ziying frowned, and she really couldn't understand why Qin Sangu went there at the right time.
Qin Sangu was a little surprised: "The assassin didn't even get the shadow, why did he want me to go to Qiongzhou?"
Feng Ziying said: "I don't understand either. I have been thinking about it for a long time. Could it be that I suspect that King Chen still has contacts with Huo Sheng? If King Chen gets troops in the south, it will be inconvenient for the Yan State."
Qin Sangu thought for a long time and sighed: "That's all, Your Majesty has his own reasons. In that case, I'll just go there." Because she calculated the distance, a trip to Qiongzhou plus spying on Huo Sheng lasted less than a year and a half.
Zai was determined not to return to the capital, and felt vaguely reluctant to give up.
On the other side, Jia Xichun was telling Jia Huan about her travels and experiences in the past two years. Suddenly, a daughter-in-law from Dongfu came over and said with a smile on her face: "Congratulations to the girl! The girl is going to be very happy! The master will come to pick her up.
When the girl goes back to the house, let me come and talk to the girl first."
Xichun frowned: "What great joy?"
The daughter-in-law said: "Someone came to propose marriage to the girl, and the master happily agreed."
Xichun was furious, raised his hand and smashed a tea cup, making a loud clatter. He stood up and sneered: "Why should he accept it?"
The daughter-in-law was stunned: "...Girl, it was the master who agreed."
Xichun sat upright again and said calmly: "Oh, it turns out it was the master who agreed. Since that's the case, just ask the master to marry that family."
The daughter-in-law was at a loss and went to see Jia Huan. Jia Huan applauded: "Fourth sister is so powerful!" Xichun glanced at him. He then stood up and said, "I'll go and ask."
"You're not allowed to go!"
Jia Huan flattered and said with a smile: "I have to go and see him. I can't hide."
Xichun insisted not to let him go, and Jia Huan bowed and said good things. The two siblings chatted for a long time, and then a girl came in and said that Jia Zheng invited him to Rongxi Hall. Jia Huan clapped his hands and said, "Look, I won't pay him back if he doesn't go."
No! Don’t worry, sister, I won’t embarrass you.” Xichun snorted.
Jia Huannai changed her clothes and went out. When she arrived at the Hall of Rongxi, she saw Jia Zhen licking her breasts with a smile on her face and talking to Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng was stroking his beard with a smile. The uncle and nephew were talking happily. Jia Huan stepped forward.
I met him first when I came here, and then I handed over to Jia Zhen: "Brother Zhen."
Jia Zhen said with a smile on her face: "Brother Huan is getting more and more active. I heard that Qian'er you went to Prince Yan's Mansion."
Jia Huan said, "It's just a few words." Nai stared at Jia Zhen with a smile and asked, "Why is Brother Zhen free to come today?"
Jia Zhen's back felt inexplicably and she said, "I'm here to take your fourth sister back. Only then did someone come to propose marriage to her. She is really quite old."
Jia Huan immediately frowned: "Have you never heard of the fourth sister's name in that family?"
Jia Zhen sighed heavily: "Your sister said something wrong back then, and her reputation in Beijing was ruined. It's rare that someone doesn't dislike her."
Jia Huan sneered and said: "The fourth sister has character and ability, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't despise others. Who has the dignity to despise her?"
Seeing his unkind expression, Jia Zheng coughed and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Jia Zhennai raised her thumb and said, "You are a famous man in Beijing. He has a good personality and a good family background. I don't know which life your sister got. I have never dreamed of the blessings she received. It is the Weifu of General Zhaowu."
My uncle, Wei Ruolan!"
"Ahem, cough, cough..." Jia Huan choked, and the daughter-in-law who followed from Xichun's house hurriedly stepped forward to pat his back. For a long time, Jia Huan couldn't laugh or cry, "Wei Ruolan is really lucky.
, Cong'er happens not to be in the capital. If that kid were here, I'd be sure to beat him into a pig!"
Jia Zheng coughed again: "Nonsense!"
"It's okay that we don't know about the current Aunt Wei in the Wei family..." A woman who is very good at fighting in the backyard, marries her son who has earned the status of a wife, and knows how to treat her daughter-in-law with her toes. Jia Huan
He waved his hands repeatedly, "Brother Zhen, please stop fooling around. Fourth sister won't fall in love with him."
Jia Zhen suddenly lowered her face: "Brother Wei is good at everything, where can she go to find such a good husband? With her reputation, I am afraid that no other family in the capital would dare to marry her. Besides, she is a womanly family.
At home, she obeys her father, and after her father dies, she obeys her elder brother. It is her turn whether she likes him or not."
Jia Huan couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "That's an ordinary woman. The fourth sister is a shrew. I advise Brother Zhen not to mess with her. She has traveled all over the country in the past few years and has never seen anything. She did what she did a few months ago."
A major matter related to the country is not something that your brother, who has only earned the honorary title of a third-grade mighty general, can afford to provoke."
Jia Zhen was shocked: "Why are you traveling all over the country! Hasn't she been with Lian'er in the past few years?"
"I only stayed for a while," Jia Huan said. "Because the fourth sister wanted to travel around the world, my uncle arranged for her to have chariots and horse bodyguards to escort her around Kyushu before arriving at Yan State. A few days later
Chen Guo is also going to go."
Jia Zhen stumbled and said, "Uncle Pardon, isn't he just kidding! How can a girl travel around the world? Why didn't Lian'er stop him?"
Jia Huan curled his lips and said, "Uncle, I've always been fooling around, and it's not just the past two years. Brother Lian is my son. If I want to fool around, there's no way my son can stop me. Brother Zhen is fooling around, and I haven't seen Brother Rong stop you."
"..." Jia Zhen choked, and after a while, she became angry and said, "Anyway, my father and brother have the final say in the matter of marriage, and it is not up to her. Besides, I have already agreed."
Jia Huan shrugged and said: "It doesn't matter, I've told you anyway, I can't help you if you insist on being obsessed with it. If you really piss her off, don't blame me for standing by and watching! I don't dare to offend her."
Seeing his generous words, Jia Zhen felt a little guilty and her eyes were hesitant. Jia Huannai sighed, "Brother Zhen, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. I'll tell you one more thing: Fourth sister?"
, while talking and laughing, the oars and oars disappeared into ashes. Others played dominoes, chess pieces, and embroidered quilts, while she played with the overall situation of the world. If you don't believe she has this ability, just ask King Yan." He said no more and stood.
He stood up, saluted Jia Zheng again, picked up his feet and walked away.
Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen stared at each other for a long time. Jia Zheng said cautiously: "How about asking King Yan?"
Jia Zhen said with a white face and a wry smile: "How dare my nephew... Otherwise, uncle go and ask on behalf of my nephew?"
Jia Zhengdao: "Where have I been to ask about such matters? If I want to ask, I can only send Huan'er."
His uncle and nephew pushed him back and forth, but Jia Huan ordered someone to pull the horse out of the house. He originally went straight to Wei's house, but he finally had a calmer temper. After walking two streets, he suddenly said to himself: "
I'm afraid I'll never see such a lively scene again in this life, so why should I be anxious?" Then he turned around and went home, not having gone out just now.
The two men at Rongxi Hall had been arguing for a long time with no result. Jia Zhen resigned from Jia Zheng's meal and went back to Ningguo Mansion. After everyone had taken a nap, Youshi came over again. If she didn't dare, she went to find Xichun.
I went to Mrs. Xing's yard to ask her to come with her. Mrs. Xing also got the message, thought about it, and sent someone to tell Jia Huan.
When Jia Huan heard this, he jumped up and walked around the room twice with a smile. Instead, he asked the maid who came: "Do you think it's better for me to quietly watch the fun, or hide out?"
The maid hurriedly said: "Good Lord, our wife didn't talk much to the fourth girl in the past years. Wouldn't it be more convenient if you are here?"
Jia Huan thought for a while and said mischievously: "Aunt Zhou asked me to go see Jue'er yesterday, but I haven't gone yet." He waved his hand, ran out quickly, and first sent someone to Wu's house to tell Wu
You said that someone came to propose marriage to his fourth sister, and then went to Aunt Zhou's yard.
The maid went back with a frown on her face to report to Mrs. Xing. Mrs.
When Xichun heard that the maid said they were here, she hurriedly put down the pen in her hand and came to the door to welcome him in. She also ordered tea. The etiquette was so thoughtful and rigorous that no one could find anything wrong. She didn't know Han Quan's identity. That day
When Jia Huan returned home, he only said that Mrs. Xing had raised him, so he gave Han Quan two more purses and asked him to sit and eat the fruit.
Mrs. Xing and Youshi sat for a while, and Mrs. Xing coughed twice. Mrs.
Xichun pretended to be someone who had nothing to do: "What good thing?"
Youshi hurriedly said: "I think the four girls have heard about it. This morning, an official mediator entrusted by General Zhaowu's Palace came to the door and wanted to ask for a girl to be his wife. She was the grandma of the General's Palace, so majestic and dignified.
!Isn’t it a good thing that a girl can manage the household and take charge of the family as soon as she enters the house?”
Xichun smiled and said, "Really? How come I didn't know about it? No one from their family came to see me."
Youshi said: "The girl is joking, how can a matchmaker come to meet the girl in person? Of course it is her father and brother who meet her."
Xichun raised the tea cup and took a sip, and said calmly: "If the girl can't make the decision, she will naturally meet her father and brother. If the girl can't make the decision, what's the point of meeting her father and brother? What the father and brother say doesn't count, but
It’s just a waste of time, just have some tea and say some polite words.”
You just wanted to laugh, but couldn't laugh when she saw her look like that, so she looked at Mrs. Xing. Mrs. Xing said quickly: "Young lady is telling a joke again."
Xichun was sitting upright, without even a smile line on her face. She looked at her and said, "Auntie looks at me, does it look like I'm telling a joke?"
Mrs.
"Yes!" Xichun said, "Sima Daofu."
Xing and You looked at each other in confusion: "Who is this Sima Daofu?"
Xichun said: "She was a woman from the Jin Dynasty. She first fell in love with a man named Huan Ji. After getting married, she found that Huan Ji had no ability, so she broke up with him. Later, she fell in love with a talented man named Wang Xianzhi who was good at calligraphy. Wang Xianzhi
Originally, he and his wife had a deep love for each other, but Sima Daofu's father had some skills, so he forced the two of them to reconcile, and snatched Wang Xianzhi as her husband for his daughter."
Youshi hurriedly said: "That's because I have the ability! Girl, our old man left long ago."
Xichun smiled and said: "Although I don't have a capable father, I have several capable brothers, and I am also capable. Sister-in-law, go back and tell your brother so that he doesn't have to worry about such leisurely things and take care of himself more."
It’s normal for a few wives to drink and drink.”
Youshi blushed after saying this. After a long while, she said: "I know that the girl despises your brother... but the marriage in the Wei family is really rare."
Xichun said: "What my sister-in-law said is rare, is she the eldest grandma of the family?"
Youshi said with a smile on her face: "Isn't that right? Aren't all the people in the house belonging to girls in the future?"
Xichun looked at her and said, "If that's the case, now everyone in your house belongs to my sister-in-law? Why hasn't my sister-in-law kicked out my brother's bastard wives?"
Youshi was speechless! Feeling sad, she cried: "Girl, why bother to tease me? I can't touch your brother." He looked at Mrs. Xing again and said, "Your uncle can't be touched by your aunt, right?"
Xichun said: "My aunt is the eldest lady of Rongguo Mansion, and my sister-in-law is the mistress of Ningguo Mansion. In the past, Mrs. Qin, the former Xiaorong mistress, was praised by everyone in the two houses. Which one of them is not marrying in a bright and elegant manner?"
"The room suddenly fell silent. After a while, Xichun said, "If I were just a weak woman, maybe I would have to resign myself to my fate. Fortunately, now I have gained some knowledge and have a few good brothers to support me. Sister-in-law, you go back and tell me
Brother Zhen, if he is really good for me, please rest assured that I have my own plans for my own affairs. If he wants to get any benefit from me, just give up and don't expect me to leave anything for him.
