Jia Cong knew that Chen Ruijin wanted to send him out, so he deliberately walked around the house for half a day before borrowing an old cat from a servant who was keeping watch at night, and waited for another half a day before going back. Chen Ruijin gave him the cat that he almost wanted to eat just now
I poured some tea to feed the cat. After a while, the cat howled and scratched its limbs and wanted to run away. Two boys hurried forward to catch it. Chen Ruijin ordered: "Let it go." The boy let go.
, I saw the old cat meowing "Ouch~~", and jumped out of the window and disappeared. After a long time, there were many long meows from far outside.
Jia Cong looked out the window for a while, but couldn't see anything in the pitch black, and asked, "What's wrong with this cat?"
Chen Ruijin said calmly: "Have you ever heard a cat meow? Spring?"
"Ha?!" Jia Cong immediately turned around, and after a quick guess, he bared his teeth and said, "No way!"
Chen Ruijin snorted, half-smiling but not smiling: "If it weren't for Mr. Wang, Mr. Cong would have taken advantage of women."
Jia Cong touched the back of his head and said, "Hey! Don't you say that all the women in the palace are clever? Can such a straightforward trick be useful?"
"How do I know?" Chen Ruijin said, "Third Master, why don't you ask Aunt Lin for advice."
Jia Cong was stunned: "Ha?! Isn't that Aunt Liu?" Chen Ruijin glanced at him, walked out and went straight back to her own room. Jia Cong looked behind for a long time and asked the two boys, "She
Are you angry?"
One boy grinned widely and nodded vigorously; the other said: "Aren't you angry? You are obviously angry."
Jia Cong stamped his feet and said, "What bothers me most is that I can't figure out everything around me." Then he ran to the door of Wang Fu's house and knocked on it.
Wang Fu said inside: "Third Master, this old slave is asleep."
"Put it down! You are clearly sober." Jia Cong said, "I have something important that I must figure out. I'd like to bother you, sir. It's only for a moment." He lowered his voice and said, "Old man, this is not the place.
There is no lawlessness in the palace... Well, there is no need for a noble person to act recklessly. You don't have to be so cautious."
After a while, the door creaked open. Jia Cong smiled and waved at the door like a lucky cat. Wang Fu couldn't help laughing, but he still didn't laugh out loud and bowed to invite him in. The two of them were at the door.
Jia Cong sat on the chairs on both sides of the red-painted plum-blossom small table. Jia Cong pursed his lips and looked at Wang Fu without saying a word.
Wang Fu looked out the door: "Those two aunts..."
Jia Cong said "Oh": "Those two are not from our house, they are just staying here. They will be sent out tomorrow morning. The water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river, and the wind, horse and cattle are irrelevant."
Wang Fu thought for a moment and said, "Does the third master really not want to accept her two people?"
Jia Cong said sternly: "Not only them, but also others." Wang Fu looked a little disbelieving. Jia Cong knew that he had stayed in Jiaofangsi all his life, so he smiled and said, "Uncle Fu, I have to say something to you from the bottom of my heart."
In other words, I, Jia San, can be said to be the top talent in the world, and all the princes are looking forward to recruiting me to their subordinates. If you want to collect beauties, people will send them to me from everywhere, as many as you want. There is a cloud in "Baopuzi", "Things"
Those with less are regarded as noble, and those with more are regarded as cheap. Since beauty is easy to come by, I don’t care so much about wanting it. Of course, Sister Chen is also a beauty and has saved me many times. I didn’t fall in love with her because of this. She has
I like the kind of ** spirit, side by side. There are too few women today who have this kind of style." Jia Cong held his cheek and murmured, "In my back garden, you can see two people outside the wall.
There are two trees. One is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree." Unexpectedly, Wenqing became ill and wandered to the sky.
Wang Fu naturally wouldn't disturb him. The two sat facing each other in silence for a long time, and Jia Cong suddenly woke up: "Ah ah ah! I'm so confused! That Uncle Fu, I'm sorry." He touched his nose, "Anyways, you can understand what I mean, right?
.”
Wang Fu nodded and said: "The Third Master only loves Miss Chen."
"Yeah. So you don't have to be taboo about other people." Jia Cong said, "What's going on with that pot of tea?"
Wang Fudao said: "The medicine in the tea was given by Aunt Liu. She had had that idea since the day before yesterday, but she never had the chance to do it. Just now, there was trouble on the other end of the second master's side, and everyone else was distracted, so she succeeded. Aunt Lin clearly saw it.
He just pretended not to see it and even covered it up for her. That look in his eyes..." He hesitated again.
Jia Cong clapped his fingers and said: "First, I can't bear to ruin her business; Second, the matter has nothing to do with me; Third, since you are stupid, don't blame me for taking advantage of you later; Fourth, my plan is perfect." Wang
Fu was a little funny. Jia Cong said again, "If you want to laugh, no one in this world can control other people's laughter."
Wang Fu said with a smile: "The third master is a bit humorous. According to the old slave, Aunt Lin's expression seems to be something she has planned."
Jia Cong frowned: "That's weird. Lin Luan has clearly understood the situation these days, and I thought she was a smart person. Uncle Fu, Sister Chen is a little angry, please help me think about it. This Aunt Lin is originally
We persuaded her to give the dowry that the Empress Dowager gave to Princess Jian'an, and she smoothly agreed not to cause any trouble to the couple. She would move out in a few days and helped us a lot. Our family took care of it for her.
Her friend Aunt Liu came from the palace to compensate her, and bought them a yard shop as a reward for her help. It was such a simple thing. It hurt my self-esteem a little. I always thought that my ability to judge people was not good, and I didn't
Not bad. How did you mistake her for this?"
Wang Fu thought for a moment and said, "Third Master said it, and Aunt Lin agreed very smoothly."
"Well, Sister Chen figured it out on her own after a little bit of guidance. She's quite smart."
Wang Fudao: "Without a well-conditioned person, how can the Empress Dowager send her out of the palace casually?"
Jia Cong said: "She has betrayed the Empress Dowager, there is no doubt about this."
Wang Fudao said: "That's because he has other ideas. Third Master, if there is no great benefit, no one will betray the master casually. Compared with women, men are of great benefit."
Jia Cong frowned and said, "That's not right. We made it clear to her that she doesn't have the slightest chance. Besides, what a hellish place the palace is. Isn't it a great benefit to be able to leave? Is there any greater benefit than freedom?
?”
Wang Fudao said: "One piece of rice can feed a hundred people. Since the third master can't figure out this woman's state of mind, it's better to ask her."
"I have to ask her, otherwise I won't even know what went wrong." Jia Cong held his chin, "Have you guessed something? Tell me, so that you won't be too surprised later and look stupid."
Wang Fu sighed: "How old am I? I haven't seen anything. Third Master, you should ask yourself."
Jia Cong blinked and looked cute for a long time, but Wang Fu still didn't say anything. He had no choice but to stand up: "Okay, okay, I'll ask myself. Well, do you always think the two of her are accomplices? Or is it Lin Lili?"
Liu?"
Wang Fu thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. There are women in the palace and in the church who regard sisters as more important than saints and officials. Most of them are not mirror polishers."
"Well, there are people whose friendship is more important than career." Jia Cong stood up, "I'll test it out."
When he went out, Wang Fu said behind him: "The third master seems to have the problem of judging himself and others."
Jia Cong let out a low "ouch" and looked up to see Lin Luan sitting upright on the porch. He went back to Wang Fu's house, took a chair and sat diagonally across from Lin Luan: "Miss Lin, let's talk. I'm a little bit
I can't figure it out. I thought you were a sensible person."
After a long while, Lin Luan smiled bitterly and said: "Understanding is one thing, accepting fate is another."
Jia Cong wondered: "Is it more terrifying to be independent outside the palace than to spend time in the palace? You have even betrayed the Empress Dowager, so what else do you need to accept your fate? From tomorrow on, your life is no longer in your own hands.
?”
Lin Luan raised his eyes and looked at Jia Cong carefully for a long time, then said: "I just told Miss Chen that I have no intention of being interested in Third Master, but she didn't seem to believe it."
"I believe it." Jia Cong said, "There was once a girl who had a crush on me. Although she hid it very deeply, she hardly made any moves, and she never said a single vague word. No one else could tell, but I could feel it.
Arrive." Alas, the years of puppy love in junior high school in my previous life~~ "That's why I don't understand what Miss Lin wants to do when she clearly has no interest in either of my brothers."
Lin Luan was stunned for a moment and said: "I have thought that if the third master eats that tea, I will drag Sister Liu away with all my strength and beg Mr. Wang to go to the second master and find Miss Chen quickly."
Jia Cong said: "If you just want to make a living by earning a few more dollars, why not ask us for some. You have made a lot of contributions."
Lin Luan said: "It's not about money. The third master is a man and won't understand. I have done Miss Chen a big favor, and she will remember it." She smiled and shook her head, "This kind of thing is originally gambling.
Rather than betting small, it is better to bet big. What if Sister Liu succeeds?"
Jia Cong said: "This kind of thing is not gambling at all, it is purely for fun."
Lin Luan turned his head to look at the yard. He twisted his head very hard. After a long time, he slowly said: "If I say it is to cause trouble for Miss Chen, do you believe it?"
"Ha?!" Jia Cong was a little confused, "You two are not in conflict with each other."
Lin Luan turned around and smiled: "Well, the well water does not interfere with the river water. When did Master Cong guess when I would make a move?" Jia Cong shook his head. Lin Luan said quietly, "That day Master Cong came back from outside and said yes.
When I was playing with flour with my young son at Lord Feng's house, Miss Chen complained that your clothes were dyed white."
Jia Cong thought about it for a long time: "At that time, you had just come from Huan San's sister-in-law."
Lin Luan slowly said sentence by sentence: "I knew her origin in the palace. The Qi State Palace gave it to Liu Dengxi. In fact, the Qi State Palace did not want it. She is not a princess, but an ordinary palace lady.
It's just Wei. Even if you include Qi Guofu, that mansion has long been in decline. But you two are really good. You are so kind to her. Every time I see you two, it is clear that you don't even have a marriage contract, but you act like an old married couple.
When Miss Su wanted to break off the engagement, she went to her and said that she still had the film of Duke Rong... I couldn't tell why I was unhappy in my heart. Miss Chen said, I can also find such a person." She shook her head, "
I can't find it. If I leave the gate of Lixiangyuan like this, if I'm lucky, I'll marry a nobleman, but if I'm not lucky, I'll marry a merchant."
Jia Cong understood immediately. Jealousy is one of the most common human emotions. She is not necessarily smarter and more beautiful than me, nor is she necessarily better than my background, so why should she live a better life than me? He thought for a while and said: "I originally wanted to
She said, "I'm good to her because she's good to me too. But that's not right." Nai raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's not necessarily fair to like this thing. It doesn't mean who you treat well will also treat you well. Although
She is also very good to me. I am not good to her because of this. I am good to her because of her." Jia Cong sighed softly, "I thought that I might not be able to meet a girl I really like in this life.
It seems that God still loves me."
Lin Luan asked: "Why do you like her?"
"It seems that someone has asked before." Jia Cong tilted his head, "I can tell you a lot about her advantages, but I don't know why I like her so much."
Lin Luan smiled bitterly: "I asked last time, but it seems that the third master no longer remembers."
"I really don't remember."
Lin Luan closed his eyes for a while and said, "If Sister Liu succeeds today, what will happen to the Third Master?"
Jia Cong thought for a while: "It's really not a big deal to drug me. The identities of you two have to be investigated from the beginning. I am not good at interrogation myself. Fortunately, there are others who are good at it. If you really have no problem, it is purely because of Aunt Liu's greed.
Murong Guofu wanted to stay, but he just pretended that nothing happened, taught him a lesson and sent him away."
Lin Luan said: "What if she is pregnant?"
Jia Cong said: "The only choice is to kill her. Otherwise, this girl will be a grain of sand between me and Sister Chen. If there is a noisy one in the future, she can use this to choke me to death. I
You have to be bullied for the rest of your life."
Lin Luan wanted to laugh but couldn't. After a while, he said: "The female guards in the palace cannot give birth to sons and can only carry female fetuses. Does Third Master Cong know?"
Jia Cong shrugged: "I've heard it, but I don't believe it. It doesn't matter if it's true. We have many men in the Jia family. At worst, we'll find a son-in-law in the future."
Lin Luan suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Master Cong doesn't even care about this?"
Jia Cong asked curiously: "Why do you care about this? If you just want to marry a woman who can give birth to a son, you should have a hundred of them."
Lin Luan was stunned for half a cup of tea, and sighed dejectedly: "She is really lucky."
Jia Cong said: "You only saw that she has a good boyfriend, but you didn't see that she risked her life to protect me. It's really dangerous! I'm the lucky one." Nai turned his head and looked at the wing, "For the sake of you
Since you have helped us a lot before, I don't care about Aunt Liu anymore, you can just coax her. We have to move tomorrow."
Lin Luan said softly: "I'm afraid the two of us will have to depend on each other for our lives." Then he got up and went back to the house.
Jia Cong frowned and sat for another half a day, then returned the chair to Wang Fu and turned around to knock on Chen Ruijin's door. According to Chen Ruijin's ear, he must have heard what he and Lin Luan said just now. After a while, a sound came from inside.
"Come in."
Jia Cong opened the door and took a look. She was lying lazily on the kang, as if she had not calmed down yet. Then he came closer and whispered: "Do you want to kill this Lin Luan? She knows a lot about us. In the second uncle's house
That matter, when the two concubines fell out and collapsed, it was obviously her fault. It would not be fun to destroy a thousand-mile embankment by ants."
Chen Ruijin glanced sideways at him: "Didn't she make a meritorious service?"
Jia Cong laughed and said, "Jealousy is an emotion that can easily get out of control. What if someone comes to recruit her as a spy?"
Chen Ruijin said: "That's even better. Leave it to Shi Li so that people can keep an eye on her, and throw in some false news. Otherwise, it won't be of any use."
Jia Cong said: "Hey, it's true or not! I can't tell whether a girl's words are true or not. Are you really so generous? She comes to you in the open and you can still bear it."
"Third Master has already tolerated the Empress Dowager, so why should I tolerate her for a while? Her death might arouse people's suspicion if she dies too quickly."
Jia Cong chuckled: "Let her disappear quietly. This kind of thing is easy for Shi Li."
"I also took it lightly. She coaxed Fourth Master Jue every day and I thought she had other thoughts. Anyway, Third Master had already coaxed her over just now. The two of them have to get out tomorrow." Chen Ruijin waved his hand,
"I'm going to rest, you go out."
If Jia Cong had never been in a relationship in his previous life, he would have really gone out. Fortunately, he still had some experience. Knowing that he was out now, she was even more angry, so he grabbed a pillow and threw it to her side shamelessly: "You have been talking for a long time.
I'm tired too, I'm so confused." Chen Ruijin snorted and ignored him.
The two leaned against each other for a long time, and Jia Cong suddenly started snoring! Angrily, Chen Ruijin gritted his teeth and threw a pillow at him: "Get out!" (..)
