The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

As Chen Jiang expected, when he released the announcement, it really caused an uproar.

This outrageous announcement shocked the entire capital and even the court.

Everyone was puzzled and surprised by this. Everyone knew that the national treasury was not sufficient at this time. It was too outrageous for Jia Jue to offer such a price at this time.

In this regard, many officials wrote to Zhao Qi one after another, hoping that he could come forward to stop Jia Jue.

However, these memorials seemed to sink into the ocean without stirring up any waves.

An official went to see Zhao Qi eagerly, but the reply he received was:

"The king of Qin should have his own reasons for doing this. I have entrusted him with this matter, so I can't obstruct it arbitrarily."

Zhao Qi's attitude made those officials with a strong sense of justice helpless. After some discussion, they realized that the person who had to tie the bell had to be untied, so they decided to persuade Jia Jue to give up this decision.

So, they made an appointment to come to Qin Wangfu to see Jia Jue.

But what they didn't expect was that Jia Jue was not in the mansion. After learning of Jia Jue's whereabouts, these people hurriedly followed him.

Where did Jia Jue go?

Enter Chen Jiang's residence.

After learning that Chen Jiang sold his assets to support him, he took the initiative to go to Chen Jiang's house.

But what he didn't expect was that Chen Jiang was not at home, and the only owner of the house was his granddaughter.

He wanted to leave here, but was stopped by a sweet voice:
"Your Highness, since you're here, why don't you come in and sit down?"

Jia Jue turned around, only to see a beautiful girl standing at the door looking at her.

He knew that this should be Chen Jiang's granddaughter Chen Tong, but he still said:

"The girl is alone at home, but it is inconvenient for me to enter the house."

She is still a big girl with yellow flowers, if he is a big man, if he enters the house, it will inevitably cause people to gossip.

Chen Tong chuckled: "Why do you have to be so rigid, Your Highness? Why should you pay attention to what other people say? Your Highness has a clear conscience."

Jia Jue looked at her, shook his head and laughed:
"What the girl taught me is that this king is indeed a fool."

Chen Tong smiled at him, then bent down and saluted: "The daughter of the people welcomes His Royal Highness King Qin."

"Excuse me." Jia Jue smiled at her and raised his hand to support her.

"Please, Your Highness, grandfather is away on business and will return soon." Chen Tong said something to Jia Jue, and then led him to the living room.

"Your Highness, wait a moment. I'll make tea for Your Highness." After Jia Jue sat down, she saluted Jia Jue again.

Jia Jue nodded lightly: "Miss, I'm sorry."

Chen Tong glanced at him, and then walked away gracefully.

Jia Jue took a look at the living room, and couldn't help but look at Chen Jiang differently.

This hall is extremely old, with simple furnishings, and the only decorations are some calligraphy and paintings that are not famous works.

As for the tea for entertaining guests, the young lady was asked to make it.

He is one of the six ministers of the imperial court, but his family is so frugal, which is awe-inspiring, no matter what, he is a respectable veteran.

Not long after, Chen Tong came in with a pot of tea.

Jia Jue sniffed lightly and said with a smile, "Good tea! It should be a tribute from Yuqian Longjing tea."

Chen Tong put down the tea and said with a smile: "Your Highness has a good nose. This is a tribute. It was given to grandfather by His Majesty. He is usually reluctant to drink it. When I saw His Highness coming to visit, I quietly took some."

Jia Jue smiled and said, "Then I have to thank you for your hospitality."

Chen Tong poured a cup of tea for Jia Jue, and said with a light smile, "If Grandpa finds out later, please ask Your Highness to take care of it."

Jia Jue nodded and smiled lightly: "Okay, I will have a good talk with him."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the teacup, took a sip, and couldn't help but praise:

"The tea is good, and the way the girl makes tea is also good."

Chen Tong covered his mouth and laughed lightly: "If Your Highness likes it, drink more."

Jia Jue nodded with a smile: "Okay."

Chen Tong watched Jia Jue drinking tea, and a blush suddenly flashed across Bai Nen's face.

Jia Jue is so handsome, so personable, and so talented, she feels admiration from the bottom of her heart.

However, she is not a superficial woman, and to gain her approval, she needs to pass her test.

"Girl, I came here this time because I heard about it..." At this time, Jia Jue looked at her, wanting to talk to her about Chen Jiang's sale of assets.

But before he finished speaking, he heard Chen Tong say:
"I have a few things that I don't know, please ask Your Highness to clarify for me."

Chen Tong asked subconsciously, and as soon as the words came out, she already realized that something was wrong.

She blushed and said in embarrassment: "Your Highness, I, I didn't mean to..."

Seeing this, Jia Jue shook his head and smiled lightly: "It's okay, if you have any questions, just ask, if this king knows, he will know everything."

Chen Tong bit her lip. Originally, she didn't mean to judge Jia Jue, but things had come to such a point by accident, and she couldn't back down anymore.

At that moment, she nodded and said to Jia Jue, "Your Highness, my question is rather weird. If you offend me, please forgive me, Your Highness."

Her questions were indeed tricky and weird, and Chen Jiang was often left speechless by her questions, so she greeted Jia Jue in advance.

Jia Jue smiled: "Okay, just ask."

Chen Tong rolled his eyes and asked Jia Jue, "I don't know Your Highness, but how many hairs do people have?"

Jia Jue laughed when he heard this. For the ancients, this question was indeed extremely difficult, but for him, it was really extremely simple.

"We Han people have about 12 hairs. In Dashi, Sassan and other countries, they have thinner hairs, with [-] hairs, while people in Luocha, Frangji and other countries have slightly thicker hairs, with [-] to [-] hairs." He said. replied calmly.

Chen Tong was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at Jia Jue in surprise. She didn't know the answer to this question, so she didn't know whether what Jia Jue said was true or not.

But he even mentioned the difference in the amount of hair in several different countries, which doesn't sound like a fake.

Jia Jue smiled: "Miss Chen, don't doubt it, this is not just me talking."

Chen Tong looked at him and nodded slightly: "I believe His Highness's words, I have counted my own hair, although I have never counted it every time, but it is more than [-] to [-]."

Jia Jue couldn't help laughing: "The girl is very elegant."

Chen Tong blushed: "It's just, I'm just really curious."

"Looking for knowledge is the driving force for continuous improvement, so don't worry about it, girl." Jia Jue smiled at her.

Chen Tong looked at Jia Jue and said in a low voice:

"Your Highness is really different."

Her questions were considered vexatious by many people, including Chen Jiang.Only Jia Jue expressed her approval and understanding to her, which made her very gratified.

She looked at Jia Jue and made up her mind:

How about some water for him?
