In the main hall of Mr. Zheng Er's study, the newly minted minister of Honglu Temple roared violently, frightening the trembling Phoenix Egg, whose face was pale and pale, and he quickly knelt down on the ground.
"Tell me clearly, what on earth did you, a scoundrel, dare to kidnap an actor from Prince Zhongshun's palace?"
At this time, Master Zheng was furious, his face was ashen, his eyes were extremely angry.
He never expected that his second son, who had high hopes for him, would do such a disgraceful thing when his own sister was named a concubine and the situation in the Rongguo Mansion was excellent.
At such a young age, he actually got involved with Prince Zhongshun, an actor who was famously loved by the ridiculous prince. How is he different from the playboys outside?
This is something that Mr. Zheng, who was deeply influenced by Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, would absolutely find unbearable.
"Come here, give me some advice!"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. In addition, the nephew of the eldest son, Jia Cong, was right next to him. The second master Zheng felt sad and shouted angrily: "If I don't beat you to death today, you will not be able to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"
Jia Cong stood aside speechless, thinking to himself that even if you want to beat your son to death, you don't need to ask me to watch from the side.
That's right, Jia Cong planned to say goodbye and leave after Zhongshun Prince's Palace Chief Shi was frightened away. He and Mr. Zheng had nothing in common.
But unfortunately the phoenix eggs came, and the second master Zheng was furious. He called Jia Cong to the main hall of the study to see how he made the phoenix eggs.
The always calm Mr. Zheng unexpectedly made such a mistake. He was obviously in an extremely bad mood, otherwise he wouldn't be so confused.
It can only be said that the performance of Phoenix Egg greatly stimulated Mr. Zheng.
But Jia Cong doesn't want to watch...
When Mr. Zheng finishes cleaning up the phoenix eggs, he will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the old lady and Mrs. Wang. When the time comes, they will all vent their anger on Jia Cong. Wouldn't it be a great injustice?
Don’t think these two can’t do it!
The boy in the big study didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly went to get the bench and rattan.
As for the phoenix egg, he was kneeling on the ground shivering, his face was pale and he didn't react at all.
"Second uncle, wait a minute. Let's first ask how Er Ge Bao and the actor from Prince Zhongshun's palace met. Is there anyone else involved?"
Seeing that the bench rattan was brought, Jia Cong had no choice but to dissuade him: "We must first find out whether there is any possibility of instigation by outsiders!"
Mr. Zheng Er's expression paused, and his raging anger suddenly dropped a lot. He looked at Phoenix Egg who lowered his head and did not dare to hum, and shouted: "You are deaf. Didn't you hear what Brother Cong said? Why don't you tell me clearly!
"
He sat down on the chair, his expression still ugly, but not as angry as before.
"Yes, yes, sir, yes, it is like this..."
As Phoenix Egg stammered his explanation, the atmosphere in the room became increasingly weird, and in the end Mr. Zheng almost couldn't hold back his explosion.
By the way, Phoenix Egg is now fifteen, and he is quite handsome, but his personality is a bit weak, so he can be regarded as a standard playboy.
As he gets older, no matter how shameless this guy is, he can't hang out with his older sisters who are also growing up all day long.
And as the Rongguo Mansion gradually gained momentum, outsiders didn't care about big houses or second houses. They just saw that Mr. Lian Er and Zheng Er were prospering in the officialdom in recent years.
As a direct descendant of Rongguo Mansion, Phoenix Egg naturally has some noble friends.
For example, Feng Ziying, the son of General Shenwu, was a very sociable young man and was very popular in the circle of distinguished disciples.
I don’t know why, but Phoenix Egg and Feng Ziying saw each other right. After several small gatherings, their relationship improved by leaps and bounds, and then Feng Ziying led them into a relatively close circle of honorable disciples.
For example, Wang Sungong, Wei Ruolan, etc., Phoenix Dan basically hangs out with these acquaintances and nobles when they go out.
This is nothing at all, just a normal friendship between nobles and nobles. Even an old-fashioned man like Mr. Zheng will not object.
He himself is not good at interpersonal communication, but it does not mean that he does not know that such interpersonal communication is very important for the descendants of nobles, as they can accumulate a primitive network foundation for becoming adults, running a family, or entering officialdom.
It's just that the children of noble families grew up with a silver spoon in their mouths. They had no worries about food and clothing and did not need to study Confucian classics and take the imperial examination. Naturally, they had family resources that allowed them to easily enter the officialdom. Their starting point was lower than those of children from poor families and even children from aristocratic families.
powerful.
In addition, there are too many temptations in the prosperity of the capital, and it is inevitable that the sensual dogs and horses will become mischievous.
Although Feng Ziying, a descendant of Xiaobo's noble family, is relatively restrained and does not play as many tricks as those real degenerate dandies, there are always singing and dancing to add to the fun at every gathering, and there are also beauties to accompany them.
It's not that there is any dirty deal, it's just a pretty normal wine table custom.
Going to the theater was an extremely popular form of entertainment in this era. Some actors who were famous for their operas were also praised by people, and they could even join a group of young men at the same table to eat, drink, talk and laugh.
It was at such a party that Phoenix met the famous actor whom Prince Zhongshun was obsessed with. He fell in love with him at first sight, and it was quite a love at first sight situation. They soon became quite close.
friend.
The little play didn't know whether he was fascinated by Phoenix Egg's handsome appearance, or was immersed in his gentle thoughts, so he actually told Phoenix Egg that he was about to run away and the secret place where he was hiding.
Tsk tsk...
Sure enough, 'beauties bring disaster', so Phoenix Egg's explanation would not be so detailed, but Jia Cong could easily figure out the details.
To be honest, in his opinion, it's not a big deal. As long as the Phoenix Egg didn't get too close to that little show, his behavior fell into the normal category of a noble disciple's daily routine.
only……
It's useless if Jia Cong doesn't care. The key is that Mr. Zheng cares a lot.
"You bastard, do you want to piss me off to death?"
After Phoenix Egg's explanation, the anger in Mr. Zheng's heart was naturally not so strong, but at this time he still shouted angrily: "If you don't honestly study and make progress, you will hang out with a bunch of dandies, and you will attract more people."
Prince Zhongshun’s dissatisfaction, you are a very capable scoundrel!”
Phoenix Egg just kept trembling, his face was pale and he didn't dare to explain. This appearance made Mr. Zheng even more unhappy.
"It seems that if you don't deal with this scoundrel, you won't know how powerful you are!"
"Master, please show mercy!"
At this moment, Mrs. Wang rushed in with her maid and mother-in-law in a panic. When she saw Phoenix Egg just kneeling on the ground, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why, do you want to protect this scoundrel who provoked Prince Zhongshun for no reason just because he was an actor?"
Seeing Mrs. Wang, Master Zheng was furious and said angrily: "Look how you have spoiled this scoundrel. If you don't teach him a lesson, will you one day become jealous of the princes?"
this……
Mrs. Wang was also a little confused. She really didn't know what the Phoenix Egg had done to make Master Zheng so angry that he wanted to enforce the family law?
In view of past experience, after receiving the news, I didn't care about anything else and rushed over to save people. Who knew that this was the reason.
With some disbelief, she glanced at Phoenix Egg, who lowered his head and did not dare to hum. It was impossible to say that Mrs. Wang was not embarrassed.
He glanced around and saw Jia Cong huddled in the corner. He suddenly felt unhappy and said angrily: "Brother Cong, why are you here?"
Without waiting for Jia Cong to reply, she thought to herself: "Maybe this matter has something to do with you. I already knew it..."
"Second Auntie misunderstood. I just happened to encounter the long history of Prince Zhongshun's residence who came to the door in a menacing manner, so I scolded him away. As for the matter of Second Brother Bao..."
Seeing that Mrs. Wang was deflecting fire and throwing hats on her, Jia Cong no longer cared that the other party was an elder. He suddenly interrupted the other party, turned around and said to the second master Zheng: "Second uncle, my nephew is leaving first!
"
After saluting, he turned around and left without giving the second house master and his wife the slightest chance to react. He didn't want to get involved in such a mess.
Master Zheng also realized at this time that he was indeed a little dizzy after leaving his nephew Jia Cong behind.
How to teach Phoenix Egg a lesson and how to end it are all household chores for the second roommate. There is no need to ask a junior to come in and watch the joke.
It's just a pity that the joke has been seen. As for how Mr. Zheng and Mrs. Wang end the story, it has nothing to do with Jia Cong.
Unexpectedly, in less than half a day, the entire palace was filled with rumors about him, saying that he had offended Prince Zhongshun because of an actor, and even caused the prince to send a commander to the house to question him. He was so impulsive.
Damn it, Jia Cong is convinced by this ability to confuse right and wrong.
Just think about it for a moment and you'll understand what's going on.
For the sake of being an actor, stalemate the relationship with Prince Zhongshun. It is a stupid act no matter how you say it. Once the outside world knows about it, Phoenix Egg will be labeled as an unscrupulous playboy.
Putting aside the fact that the old lady and the second wife would never allow Phoenix Egg to have a tarnished reputation, just because the newly promoted Princess Yuanchun was his biological sister, they couldn't let Phoenix Egg get any gossip.
Then, Jia Cong, who was also involved, became the best person to shirk responsibility!
"The second bedroom is too much. It was clear that the young master went to help relieve the siege, but then he turned around and raked the water and poured all the sewage on the young master. Do you still have any conscience?"
That night, the Dafang family once again gathered in the main hall of the General's Mansion, focusing on the rumors in the mansion.
In view of Jia Cong's recent display of letting himself go, the eldest man felt unhappy, so he first called Wangcai, the young man who had also experienced the same thing, and asked him to tell him what happened first, so that they could have an idea.
I just didn't expect that the young man Wangcai's resentment was so great, and he complained a lot when he came up, which was in sharp contrast to the smiling and disapproving Jia Cong.
"Can you please have some snacks? If this basin of sewage is poured on you, won't the electricity react?"
