That day, Jia She took Jia Cong for a stroll on the street. He wanted to buy some things for the girls, but Jia Cong deliberately skipped breakfast and ate snacks on the way.
Looking at him, I spent half a day reading at midnight before arriving at a large silver building. Before I entered, I heard a commotion inside. Jia Cong's eyes immediately lit up: "Let's have a look at the excitement!" He hurriedly grabbed Jia She's arm and went there.
Li Chong and Jia She couldn't help but follow him.
When I looked inside, it turned out to be a classic scene, where two families are fighting for the same thing! Jia Cong smiled and took his father to find a seat with a broad view and eat snacks while watching. It turned out that the wife of the family had fallen in love with a certain boss, and some
Someone was dissatisfied and asked the goldsmith to make some changes, and agreed to pick it up in two days. However, the grandmother from the other family also took a fancy to it, and threw money on the spot to take it away. At the moment, the wife and grandmother are hiding somewhere, and the two families are hiding.
The servants are about to roll up their sleeves and get to work. Jia Cong is dancing and helping out: "Fight quickly, fight quickly!"
Suddenly a man came over with a smile and said, "Isn't this Jia Cong?"
Jia Cong was stunned, and looked up at him with a piece of fruit in his mouth. He saw that this person looked quite decent, but he couldn't remember who it was for a long time, because he turned to look at Jia She. Jia She seemed to think that this person looked familiar, and couldn't remember him.
, hurriedly asked: "I wonder what this gentleman's surname is?"
The man was stunned for a while and then smiled and said: "Just call me Mr. Li."
Jia Shenai said: "Why does Mr. Li look familiar to me? It seems like I have seen him somewhere."
The man said: "I met Mr. She in the early years. I'm afraid Mr. She forgets things and can't remember." He lowered his head and looked at Jia Cong, "Jia Cong, these two families are fighting for jewelry. Who do you think is right?"
Jia Cong said blankly: "Huh? Who is right?"
The man smiled and nodded.
Jia Cong said: "What does it have to do with me? Who cares, we just don't buy what they like."
The man said: "Just say what you think."
Jia Cong said: "I don't want to think about it. If I have time to think about other things, I might as well watch the fun. I said, uncle, who are you? How do you know my name?"
The man smiled and said, "I do remember you. You don't remember me. That's all. It's rare that you can learn to stay out of things and not do too much useless work." Then he whispered into his ear.
, "Many of my brothers think that Jarvis is much better than you. I see that you are better than him."
Jia Cong immediately understood that this person must be one of the princes, and hurriedly shouted: "You can't blame me. I was only focused on eating that day. There are so many of you brothers, and you haven't introduced who is who. I can't see it.
.”
Then Prince Ji smiled softly: "How about giving me an idea? I don't care if you don't recognize me."
Jia Cong hurriedly shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, I'm only eight years old, I don't let children come up with ideas."
The prince said: "I don't know how to avoid offending both sides. I don't want them to know that I am the boss behind this, and I don't want them to bother me here for too long and delay my business. I heard that you are the best at coming up with crooked ideas.
.”
Jia Cong immediately narrowed his eyes: "Who said that?"
The prince excused himself and said: "Feng Ziying."
Jia Cong suddenly lost his momentum and cursed: "Long tongue man!"
The prince laughed.
Jia She was ignored for a long time, and finally couldn't help but interject: "Cong'er, do you know this Mr. Li?"
Just when the prince was about to speak, Jia Cong said first, "I don't know if it's the seventh prince or the eighth prince."
The prince asked funnyly: "Why these two?"
Jia Cong said: "At first glance, he is younger than the Sixth Prince."
Jia She suddenly realized and recognized him. He quickly bowed and said, "I have met the Eighth Prince."
The eighth prince waved his hand and said, "Mr. Pardon, keep your voice low." Because he glared at Jia Cong, "You are so quick to talk!",
Jia Cong showed a very fake smile and said: "I can't lie to me..." He slowly recalled in his mind what Gong Kun said about this old man that day. He seemed to be a very good pretender, so he had to be careful.
.
The Eighth Prince pointed at the group of people: "Come up with a crooked idea quickly."
Jia Cong frowned and said, "I don't believe that a prince like you has no idea about such a simple matter."
The Eighth Prince said: "I just want to hear what your crooked idea is."
Jia Cong grinned: "What's wrong? If I say, bid, whoever pays more will be given to whom."
The Eighth Prince shook his head: "It's too eye-catching."
Jia Cong snorted: "It looks very eye-catching now, okay? Either draw lots. Or simply don't sell this set today, and you can find any excuse."
After hearing this, the Eighth Prince looked at him carefully for a long time, and Jia She wanted to tuck his son behind him. Then he said, "Why don't you ask them which family is right?"
Jia Cong asked: "If only one party is justified, there will be no quarrel, and one party will blame the other party. If the dispute is like this, both sides must have their own reasons. Who has the time to resolve it for them?"
The Eighth Prince nodded, and after a long while he said, "What you said makes sense." He waved his hand to a waiter and gave some instructions in a low voice.
Not long after, the man went over to separate the people on both sides and said that just now the shopkeeper discovered that there was something not very good. If he wanted the goldsmith to repair it, why don't you two come back in a few days. If you still like it after repairing it, then come back.
It's not too late to buy. Unexpectedly, the ladies on both sides were furious, and each sent a pretty and neat girl out. They all pinched their waists and stared, saying, "It's obvious that your family is planning to ask for a lot of money in two days! In that case, I won't buy it.
!" The two groups of people actually walked away with a crash! They walked so fast that the onlookers were caught off guard and couldn't recover for a long time.
After a long time, Jia She pointed at the door and said, "Do you really want these two women?"
Jia Cong shrugged and said, "Who knows. Sometimes buying things is just a temporary pleasure, but then it's useless when you buy it back."
The Eighth Prince smiled and said, "It's pretty clean. You two can just look at it." Then he turned to leave.
Jia Cong shouted from behind: "I finally gave you an idea, is there a discount?"
The Eighth Prince did not turn around, he only stretched out his hand to make an "eight" gesture: "Twenty percent off!"
Jia Cong immediately jumped up and said to Jia She: "20% off! Go pick something up!"
But at this moment, someone slowly walked out from the other side, faced the Eighth Prince, and asked slowly: "Did he come up with that idea for you just now?"
Jia Cong hurriedly looked up and saw a white-faced uncle walking steadily into the middle. He was quite imposing. He was busy recalling the faces of the princes he had seen that day. But it had been too long, so he didn't think about it.
stand up.
However, the Eighth Prince paused and walked over a few steps before he tried to make a move, but the man held out his hand to block him: "No need to be polite."
Jia Cong knew from the Eighth Prince's posture that they were unlucky enough to meet the emperor today. Because he tugged on Jia She's lapel, he asked in a low voice: "Dad, do you think that one is a saint?"
Jia She trembled with fright, glanced twice, and said in a low voice: "Although we haven't seen him for a long time, I can tell that it's him." He quickly led Jia Cong up and wanted to salute him.
The saint waved his hand again: "There are many people here." He lowered his head and looked at Jia Cong. Jia Cong was looking up at him, his eyes turning in a very bold way. After a while, he asked, "How did you think of it?"
What was that idea just now?”
Jia Cong said: "I didn't think about it. I just told the Eighth Prince that if you don't know who to sell it to, you don't have to sell it."
The sage asked: "Then he did one less business?"
Jia Cong said: "Anyway, he is not short of money. If he loses one sum, he will lose one sum."
The saint smiled softly, looked at him deeply, turned around and left. The Eighth Prince hurriedly sent him out of the door. The two brothers had been gone for half a day, and Jia Cong suddenly turned to look at Jia She: "Why did they leave like that?
Already?"
Jia She said: "What do you want to do?"
Jia Cong said aggrievedly: "Why didn't he praise me for my extraordinary intelligence and then give me a jade pendant and a fan so that I can show off my power in the future? I met the emperor in vain, but he didn't even have anything to bully him with.
I didn’t say anything about it, I didn’t even say a few words from the beginning to the end.”
Jia She simply slapped him on the head, thinking, you are such a rebellious little person, it will be troublesome if he sees it.
After cleaning up for a while, the father and son went inside to pick out things. Because they knew it was the Eighth Prince's shop, they always felt a bit uncomfortable staying there, so they only bought a few small items. As expected, the waiter did it for them.
20% off.
It wasn't until he left the shop that Jia Cong said: "Actually, if the Eighth Prince wants to make money on that set of jewelry, he can use the name of 'Two Women Competing' to speculate on it, and the price will really increase in the future. Everyone likes it."
I want something that others can’t ask for, even though I don’t know if it’s appropriate for me to use it.”
Jia She smiled and said, "Why didn't you tell him just now?"
Jia Cong said: "No offense. Why should I help him? He won't give it to me after he gets the money."
Jia She sighed: "Although you don't show your intelligence today... you do show your intelligence at your age. That's not necessarily a bad thing. I heard from your second brother a while ago that the court is starting to stir up trouble for the establishment of a prince.
, several princes are making quite a fuss, and now they are trying to win over people."
Jia Cong shuddered: "Did the saint just listen to my words and not establish a prince for the time being?"
Jia She said: "Mr. Gong said last month that the saint will not establish a prince in the next few years. I'm afraid he has already had an idea in mind and conveniently pushed it onto your head."
Jia Cong was stunned: "I had no enmity with him in the past and have no enmity recently. Why should I be blamed?"
Jia She said: "I don't know. The last look the saint gave you just now seemed a bit deliberate. That's all. Don't think too much. Even if he deliberately said that you reminded him, it was just you who accidentally hit him. Others may not
Will pay attention."
Jia Cong immediately trembled: "Could it be that he was showing his sincerity to someone? I didn't even pay attention. Did he bring someone with him just now?" Yin raised his head to look at Jia She.
Jia She thought for a while, frowned and said, "I focused my eyes on the saint, and I didn't pay attention to who he was bringing with him." Then he turned around and asked the people following him, "That old man in blue just now, did you see him?"
Is there anyone following you around?"
A servant who was following him came up and said, "I saw him. There were more than a dozen people following him. There were three young men, who looked like young masters. There was also an old man and a few strong servants."
Jia Cong hurriedly asked: "Does the old man have a beard?"
The servant replied: "No."
The two men looked at each other and said in their hearts: Eunuch!
Jia Cong frowned and said, "Those three young masters are probably princes. It would be a lot of trouble for them to pay attention to me. Even if they think I am unintentional, they will pay more attention to me." Then he asked Jia She, "What about the Gao family's aunt?"
When is your birthday?"
Jia She immediately understood what he was thinking, shook his head and said, "Chang'an is a long way away, so how big of an idea do you have?"
Jia Cong said: "I was thinking yesterday, our family has been separated for so many years, how can we make up for it with just a few New Year's gifts? Since my aunt is turning seventy, there is really nothing better than this.
It's an excuse, you have to go to a master. Since the second brother is burdened with court errands and it's inconvenient to walk, I'm the only one going. We can't let brother Baoyu go."
Jia She frowned and said, "We have gradually lost contact over the years. If you suddenly come over, I'm afraid you might offend others."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "This is easy to handle. No one else will be in trouble. The only important thing is the saint. I'll fool Brother Feng." After thinking about it again, "I just have to choose someone to give the idea."
Jia She didn't understand: "What's the idea?"
Jia Cong said: "We are afraid that the saint will put the idea of not establishing a crown prince on my head, pretending that he did not establish a crown prince because of my reminder just now, and furthermore, I am afraid that the princes he brought will pay attention to me and win over our family.
That's why I hid in Chang'an. It's just that there aren't many smart people in our Rongguo Mansion. Someone has to see it and remind us. Dad, you are too honest and honest. I am too young."
Jia She heard it and it made sense. After thinking for a long time, he frowned and said, "I can't think of anyone at the moment."
Jia Cong also went through everyone, but it was really inconvenient to push anyone out to attract attention. He sighed: "Well, I really can't find anyone, let's just Feng Ziying."
Jia She couldn't help but laugh out loud and reached out to rub his little head.
The two of them didn't delay any longer and went to another bank store. Because of what happened just now, Jia She was a little impetuous and couldn't calm down to look at the things; Jia Cong was not bothered at all and spent his father's money anyway.
, carefully selected for a long time, and bought a lot of things for her sisters. He suddenly thought of Xing Xiuyan, and asked: "Sister Xing's family has been staying at our house these days, do you want to take her with you and buy a few things?"
?”
Jia She shook his head and said only two words: "No need."
Jia Cong said: "She can be regarded as a relative of our eldest family."
Jia She said: "Both the first and second houses are related to each other, and I didn't buy them for Sister Xue back then. Besides, your sister-in-law Zhu has two more at home, so I still have some spare money to give to them."
Jia Cong curled his lips and had no choice but to let it go.
