Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 454 Zhen Xujia

However, Xue Hong's "squatting on the roof" action this time was unexpectedly boring. Xinxin squatted and guarded for most of the night, and told Xue Hong disappointedly that nothing could be heard tonight.

Unexpectedly, he came here in the middle of the night, just to let him see Zhen Yingjia walking back and forth in his study room for several times without saying a word.The servants came in several times to change the cold but untouched tea, and he didn't intend to go to the bedroom to sleep.

It wasn't until daybreak that Zhen Yingjia slapped the desk angrily: "What are these salt merchants doing?!"

Hey, let me go, Xue Hong almost fell off the roof, salt merchant?What's the matter with the salt merchants?
But this was the only sentence that Shou Yiye heard, how could Xue Hong give up this clue?And after checking the salt merchants, Xue Hong still didn't find any useful news.

Those salt merchants who usually looked up to the Zhen family were still doing their own business and still fawning over the Zhen family.

"It's really strange. Since there is nothing wrong, why is Zhen Yingjia so angry?"

Xinxin gnawed on the wild boar jerky that Xue Hong brought, and seeing his puzzled expression, he swallowed a large piece of meat in his mouth and said, "Seeing that you always bring me delicious food, then I will be kind." Let me remind you. Instead of guarding those salt merchants, it is better to check if there is anything wrong with the Zhen family. As the saying goes, guard against day and night, but it is difficult to guard against house thieves."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Actually, don't think of me as snobbish. You are my master after all, right? I know you can't give me anything valuable now, and I won't force you to steal it. .Ahem, let’s get down to business. For the sake of you being nice to me, I suggest you check out the second master of the Zhen family, the salt merchant, about the matter that bothers you this time. It has something to do with him. "

Xue Hong gave Xin Xin a big roll of eyes, why didn't she say it earlier!
"Hey, where are you going? Listen to what I have to say~ You don't need to worry about this matter. I'll sort it all out for you."

Xue Hong sat down and glared at Xinxin: "Didn't you say that you won't help me until I see the treasure? What? You also know how to eat other people's mouths? Don't you spiritual pets only eat things full of spiritual energy? ? Are there any good things in this dimension? You still lack me so little?"

Xue Hong was a little angry, he was a very lucky person, and he fell into a wealthy businessman's family with a good family background. The money was enough for him to spend his whole life, so why did he need to work so hard to make money?Originally, he was very worried about the fate of the Xue family's decline, but with the division of the Jia family and Xue Yi's promotion, he didn't even worry about his own future. Do yourself a favor by investigating the secrets.As a result, it turned out that the food was much better than the expensive ones. This is not to open the map until the map is about to be unlocked, but to tell him that he went to the wrong map?
Xinxin seemed a little embarrassed, and didn't care about anything at this time, and hurriedly shouted: "Then what, I didn't say it at the beginning. It was Yuexi who misled you and made you think that I was just a mouse with an eye for money. You If you don’t believe me, ask her yourself, it’s she who said you are so worthless and asked you to work harder to make money!”

Xue Hong searched around, but there was no sign of Yue Xi at all, and he didn't have time to worry about this kind of problem, so he smiled wryly: "I have opened many shops and come up with many business ideas, Who is too lazy to settle this bad debt with you? Anyway, I won’t suffer any loss. Please tell me quickly, what news did you get? "

"That's right. You know that Concubine Zhen Gui in the palace adopted Eighth Brother Yinhu as her adopted son, right? Eighth Brother has a lot of people there, and there are many places to spend money. The health of the elder brother's birth mother, Concubine Liang, is getting worse and worse, and Concubine Hui was rejected by the emperor because of her son's affairs, so she tried every means to climb up to the capable son of the eighth elder brother, thinking that he would have a future in the future and be able to give She is a queen mother. Therefore, most of the money used by Eighth Prince's subordinates in recent years has come from the Zhen family.

And if I hadn't checked this time, I would have thought that the Zhen family was prosperous and had a lot of money. However, after a closer look, I realized that they just looked good from the outside and had no money-making business in their own family. All this wealth is due to the filial piety of the local salt merchants.

This year, because Zhen Yingjia is the last year to be a Daoist, the emperor has already made a decree, saying that there is a suitable candidate to take his place. Instead, he should transfer Zhen Yingjia back to the capital and give him a dignified but powerless official position.It's not that the Zhen family can't see these things that are clearly promoted and actually demoted, but it's because they have no solution.The emperor's kindness to the Zhen family has become less and less than before.Otherwise, Concubine Zhen would not have taken the risk and chosen to cling to the eighth prince to participate in the fight for the legitimate son, in order to gain the final glory of the Zhen family.

It's a pity that this eighth elder brother is using the Zhen family's money, but he doesn't agree with the Zhen family.The second master, Zhen Xujia, took care of the family's affairs, big and small, and filled his own pockets for many years, and he had quite a bit of savings.I sneaked into his private treasury and took a look. The gold alone was worth 10,000+ taels. Counting the treasures that the Zhen family had looted in their entire life, it was much less than the legendary Oboi.

In order for her son to have a future, and knowing that her eldest brother's 'Tu Emperor' was about to end, Zhen Xujia revealed that she had secretly contacted the Eighth Prince's men to help the Eighth Prince seize the throne.Those salt merchants were the ones who followed the trend. They knew that the prince had been deposed and that with the eighth prince's virtuous reputation, he was very likely to win the throne. Those who used to fawn on the first master all came to fawn on the second master. The money, All of them went into the pocket of the second master, and then the second master gave it all to the eighth elder brother.This matter is still kept in the dark by the elder. "

"Have you finished?"

"Well, it's over, there are only so many things that have been heard at Zhen's house in the past few days."

After listening to Xin Xin's words, Xue Hong thought about it for a long time, and always felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

It is well known that Concubine Zhen in the palace recognizes Ba Ye as her adopted son, but Ba Ye is becoming less and less attractive to the emperor, and anyone with eyes can see it. Recently, it is Thirteenth Master and Fourteenth Master With the emperor's favor, why did Zhen Xujia dare to put all his eggs in one basket on Ba Ye? It was really because Ba Ye was Zhen Guifei's choice?

Although Concubine Zhen is now a noble concubine, she seems to be superior, but the emperor respects Concubine Tong Jia even more, and he can't let Concubine De go, and there are those newcomers by his side, a person who can't even laugh at the end of the harem competition, How about political views and vision?
