It is said that Jia Cong met his father-in-law's beauty trap in Qi Guofu. He laughed and laughed, and persuaded his sister-in-law to open a snack shop. Unexpectedly, Master Chen said in surprise: "Do you recognize her as your sister-in-law?"
Jia Cong still didn't understand what he meant: "Isn't it? She looks a bit similar to my wife."
"Hahahaha!" Mr. Chen clapped his hands and laughed, "As long as the good son-in-law recognizes him!"
Jia Cong bit his tongue! Fortunately, he had always been a shameless person, so he said with a fake smile: "Chen Shibo, don't call her so affectionate. My wife didn't say that she doesn't recognize her, so I recognize my sister-in-law."
Mr. Chen's face froze: "Why would you say such a good son-in-law? The fourth girl is my biological daughter, how can anyone recognize her or not."
Jia Cong shrugged: "Chen Shibo can say whatever he likes. Anyway, if you go out and hit us as a couple, we won't recognize it. Everyone knows that the regent princess is the daughter of a large merchant in the south. By the way, my third brother-in-law is also named Chen, and his uncle is
He is also engaged in the seafood business. If you ask Uncle Chen to adopt a Ruijin daughter, he will definitely be willing."
Mr. Chen let out a long sigh: "Now that that's the case, can you tell me, my lord, what exactly is causing trouble for her for so many years?"
Jia Cong said lazily: "You don't understand even if I tell you. Well, maybe you understand and pretend not to understand. It's not like she hasn't told Chen Ruiwen. But once you 'understand', you have to give up looking at her."
Are you willing to squeeze out oil and water? Chen Ruijin is a gold mine. Even if you can't move, you can still daydream." He pointed behind the screen, "Take that sister-in-law as an example, is your family worthy of her?
As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. For a government as big as yours, how can it be so difficult that you want to marry your daughter off to a sick man? Let me guess, if that family can give you a lot of money, you can exchange your daughter for it.
benefit?"
Mr. Chen immediately said: "Nonsense! That's... that's... anyway, he is a very good family."
"Anyway, your family is selling their daughters when they marry..." Jia Cong thought for a moment, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, I can't blame you." He shook his head gently - if we follow Lao Cao's original work, Yingchun was also destroyed by Jia She.
The Zeng family in Luzhou was also sold for five thousand taels of silver. "It's the same all over the world, not just one family or two. You are used to it, and you all think it is so natural." He suddenly remembered something and said seriously, "There is something
I wonder if you have got the news. Chen Ruiwen’s letter must have arrived too?”
Mr. Chen quickly asked: "What's the matter?"
Jia Cong said: "Your third aunt, Concubine Chen of Wu State, will leave south for Dajiala, Taiwan after the Lantern Festival."
Mr. Chen suddenly became depressed, took out a letter from his arms and ordered the boy to hand it to Jia Cong. Jia Cong opened it and saw that it was written by Chen Ruiwen. The letter said that Concubine Chen was defeated miserably in the backyard of Prince Wu's Mansion and had fallen out of favor.
Yes. Jia Cong smiled slightly.
It turned out that five years ago, Zhou Ji, the leader of the Malay Kingdom of Nanyang, visited the Kingdom of Wu. He recognized the two brothers-in-law of the Crown Prince of Wu, Mr. Bao Erye and Bao Sanye, and admired them quite a lot. The following year, this person sent a letter from the Kingdom of Shu to the Kingdom of Wu.
Jinling said that he accidentally bought the daughter of a criminal official in Chengdu. She was extremely beautiful. Since he was traveling and it was inconvenient to take the woman with him, he would like to give it to Mr. Bao. Mr. Bao will not lack the capital and the land of Wu.
It’s better to taste the beauty of Shu. It’s unusual for friends to send beauties to each other. In addition, the Lord of Zhou planned to do business with the Bao family in the future, which could be regarded as a favor, so Mr. Bao accepted it without any courtesy.
When I met this woman Shen, I suddenly felt that she was really worthy of the words "beautiful and incomparable". The Lord of Zhou's willingness to give it to me showed his sincerity. He asked Shen's origin in detail and sent someone to the Kingdom of Shu. After checking, it was clear. Mr. Bao hesitated for several days and did not take it into the backyard.
It turns out that something happened in Prince Wu's palace a few days ago. The Mei Ji sent in by the Bao family was too young and fell into the trap of Concubine Chen, which angered the King of Wu and suddenly fell out of favor. Although there are many beauties in Wu country, Mei Ji is so beautiful. That job is not easy to find. Today I met Ms. Shen, who was in her early twenties. She was originally a young lady from an official family. After experiencing changes in her family, she was not as naive as Mei Ji. A girl from a wealthy family will not be proud, and she is talented and intelligent, and can play the piano well. It is difficult to make the best use of everything if she stays by her side. It would be better to send her to Prince Wu's Mansion to fill the gap of Mei Ji. Besides, Concubine Chen will be the best at that time. She is almost thirty, and she can still kill Mei Ji. It shows that King Wu still prefers beautiful women to little girls. Mei Ji also happens to cultivate her mind and character. When she grows up, Princess Wu will try to make her favor again. Then she will By joining forces with the Shen family, the overall situation will be safe.
Mr. Bao then discussed this idea with his sister, Princess Wu. Princess Wu was a little hesitant after meeting Shen. She said: "This woman seems to be ambitious. I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle in the future." She was hesitant. Well, something happened again. Mei Ji was favored at a young age and then fell out of favor. She couldn't bear this grievance, and shed tears every day. The palace is not a family, and she has always been favored but not favored. Not only did King Wu's concubine have no one to comfort her and take care of her, but she also One of them stepped on her. Princess Wu, Princess Bao, wanted her to learn a longer lesson, so she ignored her. The child couldn't hold on, so she took the opportunity to go to Xuanwu Lake while she was out of the palace to worship Buddha, and immediately jumped into the lake and committed suicide. It rained heavily that day in Jinling and the lake surface was turbid, so even the corpses were not fished out.
As a result, the new couple had to be sent in. The Bao family searched for beauties for a while, but there were really no good ones. So they gave Shen a lesson and sent them in.
This Shen family is really awesome. When she first entered the house, she felt very good. She went straight to Concubine Chen and surrendered, and joined forces with Concubine Chen to deal with Concubine Ji next to her. When everyone else stepped on her, she suddenly turned against her and killed her with a backhand knife. Concubine Chen - Concubine Shen collected some clues and concluded that Mei Ji committed suicide because of Concubine Chen's temptation. Concubine Chen tried her best to argue and accuse Concubine Shen of spitting blood. Although King Wu did not fully believe this, he She lost her trust in Concubine Chen. Concubine Chen fell out of favor. It happened that His Highness Wu Guoba, who was studying in Dajiala, fell ill, so Concubine Chen asked to go to the south to take care of the children. King Wu didn't want to agree, but Concubine Shen turned her back on him. Then he responded.
Jia Cong took Chen Ruiwen's letter and turned it over briefly, and said with a smile: "This is the thought of an outsider. It can be seen that Grandma Chen Sangu has regarded Chen Ruiwen as an outsider."
Mr. Chen was slightly shocked: "Why did the Prince Regent say this?"
"Leaking a big flaw with no evidence to Concubine Shen will make you fall out of favor without losing your life, and then try to go to Dajiala. This is Ruijin's plan."
Mr. Chen responded: "What is Fourth Girl's idea? Fourth Girl wants her to go to Dajiala?"
"No. She wanted to go on her own, so she asked Ruijin for help." Jia Cong spread his hands and said, "The King of Wu has become very old and dim in recent years. It is obvious that he is no longer able to survive, and he still forces his daughter to marry him. Concubine Chen is only three years old. When he was more than ten years old, he disliked his sick body and was unwilling to serve him. So he wrote to Ruijin, using hidden language to hint that he wanted to leave the Wu Palace. Ruijin was a master who had stayed in the Forbidden City, and he was very good at fighting with women, so he She replied with a secret message and came up with a plan. Concubine Chen acted according to the plan, everything went smoothly and safely, and she could escape tomorrow. Chen Shibo could rest assured that her little boy Ruijin had taught him well and was very supportive of his mother's remarriage. When they arrived in Dajiala, Ruijin would meet Help her change her identity, and then tell the people of Wu State that Concubine Chen died of illness due to acclimatization. Then Grandma Third Aunt can get married as a widow in an upright manner."
Mr. Chen felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was stunned and couldn't move. After a long while, he shouted in a hissing voice: "This is unreasonable! King Wu is old, and this is the opportunity for His Highness to seize the Crown Prince's crown! She actually acted wantonly!"
Jia Cong clicked his tongue twice: "It doesn't hurt to stand and talk. When you were young and strong in your early thirties, would you be willing to sleep in the same bed with an old woman in her sixties or seventies every day? Besides, you didn't hear me. What? King Wu is already dying, and he still forcibly controls the women! To put it bluntly, he probably abused those women. It is very painful. No one else can bear it." Meow Concubine Shen can actually bear it, she is really a Ambitious.
Mr. Chen stumbled: "King Wu can't live much longer, can't you bear it?" He cursed Concubine Chen for a long time, even calling her a whore. Suddenly he realized that Jia Cong had been silent the whole time, so he raised his eyes and looked up. Look at him.
Jia Cong also looked at her, which made Mr. Chen shudder. After a while, he said coldly: "Years ago, Ruijin made fun of me and told Concubine Chen that I might be a Duanxiu. Chen Ruiwen is very happy, saying that no woman competes with her for favor. The men in your family really do not regard their daughters as human beings in their genes."
Mr. Chen didn't know what to say for a moment, but after a while he said: "It is always a great blessing to be around a person like the Prince Regent."
Jia Cong sneered: "Is it a blessing for a good-looking girl to marry Duanxiu? My sister-in-law behind the screen, can you hear me? I don't believe that your family can't marry you to a healthy man. My brother-in-law advises you, Leave this house as soon as possible and be self-reliant, don't let your father and brother squeeze you dry. Learn from your third sister, and turn around and have a brighter future." Then he stood up, cupped his hands, picked up his feet and walked away.
Mr. Chen sighed from behind: "I don't know how I can't help these sisters. If the house was like that earlier, it would be fine now, but now it has fallen to this. If the whole house does not work together..."
Jia Cong didn't turn around and said, "Since Chen Shibo is getting older, shouldn't Chen Ruiwen go out to support the family and protect his parents, younger brothers and sisters from the wind and rain? As the eldest son, he would not be ashamed to lose his sister's body in exchange for wealth. That idiot Xue Pan never had such an idea in his most confused years, and my second brother Lian never had the idea of having a female wife when he was the most hopeless." As he said that, he had already crossed the threshold of the front hall, "Your Chen Ruiwen It’s truly a wonderful flower.”
As soon as he walked out of the gate, the snow seemed to get lighter. Jia Cong put on his bamboo hat and jumped on the horse. He looked back at the gate of Qi Guofu, took off his bamboo hat and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for giving birth to my wife." He put it on again. Take off your bamboo hat and pat the horse away.
Today, Mr. Chen choked. Jia Cong felt happy. After returning home, Le Diandian ate an extra bowl of rice. In the afternoon, the snow stopped. After taking a nap, Jia Cong went out with his hands behind his hands and took a look. If the big man It was as if the world was pretending to be in a glass box, and I almost wanted to compose a poem. But just now, the disciples came again. This time it was still someone from Qi Guofu, who sent Zhang Xuetao a note.
Jia Cong took a look and saw that it was written by his sister-in-law. She said that she wanted to consult on how to open a snack shop. She also said that her husband had not looked at the lanterns since she married the sick man. He asked her brother-in-law to take her to look at the lanterns. Jia Cong frowned and thought, Rui Jin and Concubine Chen are both smart. Is this sister-in-law stupid? She casually put the post on the case, and immediately saw four capital letters on the back of the note: help. Oops, what does this sister-in-law mean? I thought about it for a long time. , said to Menzi: "Tell the person who is coming that I will pick her up at 2:00." Menzi raised his eyebrows. Jia Cong glared at him. Menzi ran away without saying a word.
At dusk, Jia Cong sent someone to pull a small green-covered carriage up to the Qi State Mansion. Not long after, he picked up the sister-in-law. The carriage ran straight along the avenue to the famous silver building and gold powder family in the capital. The maid helped the sister-in-law out of the car.
The coachman from Rongguo Mansion led the way and led them into a large room upstairs.
Jia Cong was sitting in the room. When he saw them coming in, he smiled and waved, "Hello, sister-in-law."
The sister-in-law stepped forward and said a thousand blessings. When she looked up again, her whole body was refreshed. She seemed to be a different person from the one who was at Qi Guofu in the morning: "Thank you, brother-in-law, for your help."
Jia Cong clasped his fists and asked with a smile: "Who are you doing at home?"
"Old Six."
"Hello, Sixth Sister. Please sit down, Sixth Sister." Jia Cong said, "How come your family has given birth to so many daughters."
Grandma Sixth Aunt sat down generously and said, "Our family has never been divided. There were many brothers in the previous generation."
"Oh yes, Chen Yi has four sons."
Grandma Liu Gu took a sip of tea and said seriously: "What happened this morning was my idea."
"ha?!"
She smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, the family I married into is the natal family of the first concubine."
Jia Cong thought for a while: "Situ Yue's wife's house?" The sixth aunt's grandma nodded. Jia Cong rolled her eyes, "As for Chen Ruiwen's urine--since Situ Yue has gone overseas, his wife's house is useless;
You look like this again. Sooner or later I will get you back and marry you again."
Grandma Liu Gu nodded and said: "That's why I don't dare to wait any longer. After much thought, my brother-in-law is the only one in the capital who can help me."
Jia Cong unconsciously clapped his hands: "It's a bit like Ruijin's sister."
The sixth aunt said: "When I was born, my fourth sister had already gone to the palace and had never seen me. Earlier I was wondering if my brother-in-law would be willing to help me. But a friend of mine said that the regent most wanted a woman to leave home and stand on her own feet.
.Man said that I am the princess’s biological sister, and he would be willing to help even a random girl.”
Jia Cong smiled and asked: "Who knows me so well?"
"Does my brother-in-law know the third grandmother in Xu Hanlin's house?"
"Uh... I know." It turned out to be that person. Unfortunately, our Lan'er is still in unrequited love. "I heard that she is helping the museum translate Sanskrit. She is very good and very talented."
Grandma Sixth Aunt said, "That's her." She suddenly frowned slightly and fell silent. Jia Cong waited. After a long time, she asked, "Surely the third sister will remarry? Is His Highness the Eighth Prince Wu willing?"
"Not only willing," Jia Cong said with a smile, "He has even found a stepfather." Sixth Aunt Grandma was stunned. Jia Cong explained, "That child is extremely talented in mathematics. His mathematics teacher in Dajiala likes him very much.
No, he treats him much better than his own father. He is single and has no wife. He wishes his mother could marry the teacher." An old-fashioned old man like King Wu didn't know how to love a child at all, let alone he had many sons.
Grandma Sixth Aunt said happily: "Congratulations to Third Sister." She was silent again. Jia Cong waited again. After a while, she suddenly whispered, "If I have someone I admire, can my brother-in-law help me marry him?"
Jia Cong was stunned for a moment: "Does he have a wife?" Grandma Sixth Aunt shook her head. Jia Cong always felt that the matter was not simple, so he touched his chin and said, "Slowly explain it clearly."
