It is said that Feng Ziying came home that day and had just dismounted at the door. The doorman came up to greet him and said: "Sir, Mr. Huan from Rongguo Mansion has been waiting for me for half an hour."
"Huan'er is here?" Feng Ziying smiled and threw the horse's reins to the boy, "Are you out in the study?"
The doorman said: "Yes." Feng Ziying nodded and walked in quickly.
When he arrived at the study, he saw that Jia Huan had almost fallen asleep on the small table. He couldn't help but laugh, so he stepped forward and pushed him: "Wake up quickly. It's a cold day, so it's better to catch a cold."
Jia Huan hummed, "I'm not asleep." Feng Ziying turned around and was about to sit on the chair next to him when he said, "My great-aunt sent someone from Chang'an to Beijing on horseback to say that the crown prince of Qin was violent.
shoot."
Feng Ziying sat down and said: "I also got the message. He died of poisoning. I can't find out who did it."
Jia Huan nodded: "The imperial concubine sent someone to quietly win over my aunt."
"Prince Princess?" Feng Ziying was surprised.
"Well, the prince's widow is the biological mother of King Qin's eldest grandson." Jia Huan said with a smile, "My great-aunt did not agree."
Feng Ziying raised her eyebrows: "Why don't you accept the good things that come to your door?"
Jia Huan said: "All the useful people of the Gao family have been sent to Ping'an Prefecture, leaving only some old people and female relatives in Chang'an. Now that the prince of Qin is dead, the king's eldest grandson is too young, and the king of Qin has so many sons, as well as many powerful ministers and generals.
"My great-aunt just lives her old life by eating melons and watching movies, so she doesn't have the strength to get involved." He blinked, "However, it turns out that most of the people around the prince would be killed and dispersed. The prince's concubine and the eldest grandson of the king would be left alone, and even the Gao family would not be able to get involved."
This shows that people with roots outside the Qin State are also interested in this."
Feng Ziying thought for a while: "What do you think?"
Jia Huan spread his hands: "How do I know? I am just a messenger. The prince's concubine did not give up and cried so miserably that my aunt almost couldn't bear it anymore. Why not ask the prince to recommend someone? My aunt recommended her.
How nice it is to be in peace and quiet. How old is she? Aunt Xiaomei said she is very sleepy now. How can she worry so much." Feng Ziying nodded and thought silently. Jia Huan added, "By the way, our princess
He said that since the eldest grandson of King Qin is still young, it is better to send a husband there. For him, avoiding the limelight and letting the uncles outside break his head and studying behind closed doors is the way to save his life. Care about temporary power and status will only lead to death.
Faster. Anyway, King Qin is in good health, and a new little princess was born last year. It doesn’t look like he will die in three to five years."
Feng Ziying praised: "Princess, you have good eyesight!" Then she looked at him and said, "The wives you have chosen are all good."
Jia Huan said: "Our family has suffered...that...suffered from my grandmother. We must be careful when choosing a wife."
Feng Ziying asked: "How old is Wang Changsun?"
"Seven years old." Jia Huan said, "It will take at least ten years before it can be used. If the prince wants to control Qin, he will have to send some people out."
Before he finished speaking, Feng Ziying interrupted: "Don't talk about it yet, talk to the prince."
"I came to see you just because I didn't want to go and tell the prince."
Feng Ziying was startled: "Why?"
Jia Huan pouted: "Your Majesty, there are many people in front of you. This idea belongs to our princess. It's better not to expose the woman's plan to the public, otherwise she will easily be jealous when she goes out to associate with other women."
Feng Ziying smiled and said: "She is a princess, who dares to be jealous? You are too careful."
"Anyway, Prince Shu, you just need to understand. The men in our family are already eye-catching enough. If even women came to the court, many people would be upset."
Feng Ziying laughed and said, "Aren't your women eye-catching?" Looking back, she realized that the girls and daughters-in-law of the Jia family really didn't show off in the court. The most ostentatious one was named Lin. She nodded and said, "I understand. You said, my brothers and sisters have
What's the point?"
Jia Huan said: "The grandson of the King of Qin is young. Now I just use my aunt's name to send someone to him to teach him how to be well-behaved, sensible and talented in front of the King of Qin and the princess, so as to make the King of Qin not make up his mind to establish another heir.
, drag this matter down. His uncles will not be able to avoid a fight. The prince can send a few people to help each family, and they will be evenly matched. However, if the King of Qin hesitates and delays it until Wang Taisun grows up, it will be easier to handle."
Feng Ziying shook her head: "It is indeed a woman's plan. What if raising tigers will cause trouble? How can it lead to the King of Qin's princes being evenly matched? They must be allowed to kill each other, and each will suffer losses. While Wang Taisun is young, put a few more people around him.
"
Jia Huan said: "Anyway, the prince has made up his mind. The King of Qin is not a vegetarian. It's good to only give one or two that work. If you give more, I'm afraid it will arouse people's suspicion."
Feng Ziying nodded: "Did Jia Taijun's people say anything else?"
"There was a big chaos in Chang'an City a few days ago. The prince of Qin fell in love with a girl from Wu. He hurriedly deposed the prince concubine and wanted to marry the girl as his principal concubine. He didn't want to have the bride robbed on the day of the wedding.
!”
"I also got news about that matter, but it was not detailed." Feng Ziying also worked in detail in Chang'an. Ge Ge's message was brief, and the letter has not yet arrived.
"Let Aunt Xiaomei talk about this. I'm afraid she can't convey it well." Nai called someone to call in a daughter-in-law named Xiaomei who was waiting outside. She was sent by Jia Taijun.
Xiaomei saluted and spoke as if she were an outsider about the excitement of Prince Qin being robbed of his bride. She said: "That girl is from Wu, and she is very good-looking. I met our girl before at a banquet and said she was very knowledgeable.
And the family is wealthy. The house they live in is the private residence of the King of Qin, so I don’t know the details.”
Feng Ziying thought for a long time after hearing this, then stood up and said: "Excuse me, Aunt Xiaomei, please come with me to see the prince. I may have something to ask you." Xiaomei accepted the order. The two of them went out and went straight to Prince Yan's Mansion. Jia Huan returned.
Not mentioned at home.
King Yan was overjoyed when he heard that the imperial concubine of Qin had wooed the Gao family in Chang'an. He called his confidants to discuss the matter overnight. Fearing that the imperial concubine would not agree to the Gao family's request, he asked someone else to send him there. He first selected someone under Feng Ziying to send her there. This person's surname was Cui, his ancestral home.
Originally from Chang'an, he had a lot of talent and knowledge. He asked the Gao family to recommend him to the grandson of the King of Qin, first to calm the minds of the orphan and the widow. The next day, Princess Yan gave Princess Jian'an a lot of things.
A few days later, the Ningguo Mansion sent a message to Jia Zheng. It turned out that Jia Rong had taken a concubine from outside. In order to give the woman face, he was going to have a serious banquet and invite a show. Since then, Jia Rong has made trouble for molesting his sister-in-law.
Jia Zheng rarely interacted with that mansion. Today he heard that the woman he wanted to take in was actually a widow. He was so angry that he yelled "shameless" and kicked out the people from Ningguo Mansion. Jia Rong didn't care.
Just leave other relatives to come and have fun.
This little widow, Chun, was amazing as soon as she entered the house! In front of Jia Rong and Jia Zhen, she was a delicate flower, but in front of Hu and You, she was arrogant and rude, and the entire Ningguo Mansion was about to be demolished by her. She especially loved spending money.
Both Jia Rong and Master Jia Rong fascinated her and gave her whatever she wanted. Ningguo Mansion had been robbed several times and had already been unable to make ends meet. How could she tolerate such trouble? But after a few days, Youshi couldn't hold it anymore and pretended to be sick.
. Mrs. Hu knew it well and did not dare to take over the mess in the house, so she also pretended to be sick. Jia Rong was so eager that she happily handed the account book to Mrs. Chun.
Mrs. Chun was an educated person. She took a look at the account book and put it down in fright: "Master... Master... this..."
Jia Rong just took it from Youshi without looking at it. Seeing the beauty, he was so frightened that he quickly picked up the account book and opened it. When he saw it, he was shocked: "What's going on?!" He read a few more pages.
, no longer caring about the Chun family, he took the account book and ran to find Jia Zhen.
Jia Zhen was furious when she saw it. She gritted her teeth and shouted, "Youshi!"
The two men rushed into Youshi's house angrily. Jia Zhen kicked the little maid in front of Youshi and threw the account book hard on her: "Vicious woman!" He pointed at her and cursed, "It's so dark.
You sweetheart! Didn't you move all the furniture of my Jia family to the private treasury?"
Youshi had already guessed that such a thing would happen, and said in panic: "What did you say, master? Do I have any private treasury?"
Jia Zhenran pointed to the account book: "What's going on in the account?"
Youshi looked at the account book and then at Jia Zhen, and sighed: "It turns out that I suspected me. That's all, I won't defend myself. I just asked a few accounting gentlemen to check. This has been the case in the government for a long time.
My dowry has already been folded in." Jia Zhen was stunned. He knew that all the money in the house was about to be exhausted, but he never imagined that it would be at the end of the rope. You coughed twice and shook his head, "These days
I have tried every means in the past year... I sold what I could sell and pawned what I could pawn, but now I can no longer do it."
Jia Zhen looked at the account books on the bed, and saw that Youshi had no makeup on, and his yellow face was haggard. Most of the aura he had just now was gone. But he never spoke softly to Youshi, so he was serious.
He hummed: "Just wait, I will investigate right away. If it is found that you are as greedy as the second wife in the West Mansion, your life will be necessary!"
Youshi smiled bitterly and said calmly: "I know, I'll just check it out." The more she looked like this, the more uncertain Jia Zhen felt. She snorted again, turned around and left with her hands behind her hands. The two young men who followed looked at each other.
He stepped forward to tidy up the account books; Youshi's maid was silently helping him. Youshi was only sick and closed his eyes to rest and didn't care at all.
Jia Rong also understood the meaning of eight, nine and ten. Looking at his wife, she must be selfless at heart. He is really going to be poor. He is used to extravagance and never knows how to write the word "poor". If he wants to go next door
When Rongguo Mansion went to treat convulsions, he knew that Jia Huan was in charge now, so it was strange that Jia Huan was willing to give him a copper coin! He couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
A few days later, Jia Zhen asked someone to check the account books, but found nothing wrong. Jia Rong also went outside to look around, borrowing money from Jia Yun several times, and when he reached the door of Jia Yun's shop, he refused to go in again.
——He couldn't lose his face. In front of Mr. Chun, he only said, "I'm checking the accounts. I think my wife did something." Mr. Chun didn't doubt it at all, and even advised, "I think my wife was confused for a moment. I hope that the master is thinking about the relationship between husband and wife."
Don't get angry." Jia Rong promised vaguely. Chun originally thought that he would praise her for being sensible so that she could take advantage of the situation to ask for some jewelry, but she didn't expect that he didn't mention it at all, so she had to swallow it.
On this day, Jia Rong was full of worries and went to a small tavern that no one recognized to drink and soothe her sorrows. Suddenly there was a smiling scholar-looking man sitting opposite. Jia Rong was half drunk and looked up at the man: "
roll!"
The scholar was still smiling with the spring breeze blowing on his face: "This gentleman, is he short of money?"
Jia Rong slapped the table angrily and said, "Are you afraid that I can't afford the wine money?"
The scholar waved his hand and said, "No. Mr. Jia can still afford the wine money for this meal. It's hard to say for the next meal."
Jia Rong was startled. He suddenly woke up from the wine and narrowed his eyes: "Who are you?"
The scholar said with a smile: "Businessman, I heard that Mr. Jia is a little short of money, and I want to do a business with you. I wonder if Mr. Jia is willing?"
Jia Rong looked him up and down for a long time. Although he knew that this person had bad intentions, he was really desperate, so he had to bite the bullet and asked: "What kind of business?"
The scholar whispered: "I heard that Mr. Jia has in his hand a series of carefully crafted secret messages written by Prince Xining."
Jia Rong was shocked: "What did you say?!"
The scholar said clearly: "I want to buy it."
Jia Rong hurriedly said: "How can I have that!"
The scholar looked at him with a smile and said: "Mr. Jia is the confidant of Prince Xining, how can there be no one?"
Jia Rong really didn't. It wasn't that the Prince of Xining didn't believe him, it was just because he only focused on the position of Rongguo Mansion, and he was in the capital, so there was no need for secret words. He shook his head and said: "No."
When the scholar saw him, he only said "no" and did not deny that he was a confidant of the King of Xining County. He said, "Mr. Jia, please give me a price."
Jia Rong glanced at him: "Your Majesty is not an ordinary person. I advise you to make less decisions and avoid him as soon as possible."
The scholar took out a bright ingot of gold from his arms and dangled it in front of his eyes. Jia Rong's eyes immediately widened! The scholar took back the gold and said, "Please think about it carefully, Mr. Jia. I'll see you again in a few days." He got up and left.
.
Jia Rong wished he could reach out and grab the gold! If he had a secret message, he would have called out to the scholar, but he really didn't. He just stared at the man strutting out of the tavern and disappeared. He suddenly thought that the Prince of Xining was not his boss.
What? Why not ask him to borrow some money? Because the Rongguo Mansion knew the details, Jia Rong had not gotten any useful information for a long time. Prince Xining still gave him a few money every month, but it was not enough.
Jia Rong envoy? He then made up his mind to go to Xining Prince's Mansion to ask for an audience with the prince.
The Prince of Xining County thought what he was doing. After listening for a long time, he actually wanted money! He sneered and said, "Who doesn't know that you have a new woman of unknown origin? That woman knows how to spend money, right?"
Jia Rong said hurriedly: "She is a woman from a good family, but because her eldest brother-in-law..."
"Shut up!" the Prince of Xining County pointed at him and shouted, "I don't know what the depth is. These women are 100% unreliable. You are not a fifteen or sixteen year old child, but you don't even know this? Did you let her be fascinated by you?"
"Jia Rong was determined to defend Chun, but she didn't dare to speak when her boss looked like that, so she just lowered her hands and listened.
The Prince of Xining County was furious. He risked beheading and falsely conveyed King Yan's secret order, so that bandits from Jinggang Mountains and Fujian soldiers and horses surrounded the Taiwan Prefecture, hoping to expose the hypocrisy of the Rongguo Prefecture in one fell swoop. He did not want him to be placed in
The spy in Li Guopei's camp came back with a message saying that the governor of Fujian Huang Wengang was ill. The commander-in-chief Zheng Chaoer had a disagreement with the petty official Dai Xian who was in charge of affairs on behalf of the governor, so he gave up the fight. Dai Xian was a fool, and no one was in charge of the whole Fujian! Li Guopei's
It is difficult for soldiers and horses to even get food and fodder, and the ships at sea are currently wasting away in a barracks in Fuzhou.
He took risks just for the sake of "quickness". As time went by, Feng Ziying had to leave little details in Li Guopei's camp. Sooner or later, a secret report would be sent up. If Feng Ziying sensed something was wrong, he would not be able to bear the consequences. Stay ahead.
That day, Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan all brought their daughter-in-law back to the capital. What he said earlier, "all the important people in Rongguo Mansion have gone to the south and will never come back" was a joke; Jia Huan also brought out his brother-in-law, King Lu, to face King Yan.
He asked for money and asked to go to North America to fight with him; the Jia family was favored for this great achievement. According to this attitude, not only could they not move the Rongguo Mansion, but they would also have to build their own house into it if they couldn't save it.
Jia Rong bumped into him today. The Prince of Xining County was full of nameless anger and had no place to vent. Swearing at him was like a dog's bloody head! Uncle Xiao Rong has never been scolded like this since he was born, and he didn't dare to defend himself.
He secretly clenched his fists and carried it forcefully. The king of Xining County scolded him for half an hour, and finally threw a tea cup and kicked him: "Get out!" Jia Rong ran away like a rabbit escaped from the wolf's mouth.
run.
After leaving the Prince's Mansion in Xining, Jia Rong looked back, turned around and spat at the intersection: "I will have my revenge one day!"
