[Red Chamber] The imperial examination life of the great master

"Then, that's fine." Chen Ronggui showed a reluctant expression, and was pushed down by the shopkeeper to sit down on the chair.

Taking advantage of the shopkeeper's inattention, he secretly gave Jia She a look, showing that he was really hooked.

Jia Amnesty lowered his head to hide his smile.

The apprentice quickly set up a table of food and wine.

This is not stingy, five hot dishes, three cold dishes, and a few jars of excellent bamboo leaf greens.

"Come on, don't be too polite, treat it like your own home." The shopkeeper gave the apprentice a look, and told him to put the board on.

"That's so embarrassing." Chen Ronggui said hesitantly.

"What are you sorry for, brother Chen, don't be polite to me, if you are polite to me again, I will be in a hurry." The shopkeeper personally slapped the jar away and poured three glasses full of wine.

Zhuyeqing is worthy of being Zhuyeqing, as soon as the altar was opened, the smell of wine permeated.

"Good wine." Jia She praised.

"Good eyesight, this jar of wine can't be bought without a tael of silver, you drink, don't be polite." The shopkeeper wished Jia Amnesty would drink more wine, so that he could concentrate on dealing with Chen Ronggui when he was drunk.

"Then I won't be polite." Jia She said, he saw the apprentice standing beside him, with a rough appearance, and he knew that it would be difficult to deal with him, so he rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "This one might as well drink together, the three of us can't finish so much food and drink, so it's a pity not to waste it."

"Don't bother with him, I have something to ask him to do later." The shopkeeper is not willing, he still expects the apprentice to help him later.

"That's it." Jia She glanced at the apprentice, and saw that although he lowered his head, his eyes kept looking at the food and drink on the table from time to time, and he knew that this person was also happy in his heart. He turned his head and looked at the shopkeeper. He said: "Shopkeeper, what you have to do later, I'll just find a way for you to ask someone to do it. Come, sit down."

As Jia She said, he stood up and pushed the apprentice down beside him.

He was also afraid that the shopkeeper would come up with other reasons, so he decisively poured a glass of wine and stuffed it into the apprentice's hand.

The apprentice was willing in his heart, but he still didn't dare to offend the shopkeeper, so he had to look at the shopkeeper with his eyes.

The shopkeeper was very angry, but if he spoke again at this time, he was afraid that the two of them would become suspicious, so he gave the apprentice a sneaky look, and forced a smile.

"Come on, shopkeeper, I'll toast you a glass." Chen Ronggui averted the shopkeeper's sight just right, he poured a glass of wine, and filled the shopkeeper's wine glass himself.

The shopkeeper's thoughts immediately focused on him, and he quickly picked up the wine glass.

The two drank a few glasses, and the shopkeeper saw that Chen Ronggui was a little drunk, so he wanted to hit the iron while it was hot, and said with a smile: "Drinking is boring, so let's play some games."

The shopkeeper had already seen through that Chen Ronggui was a novice, and deliberately used this to turn him into a puddle of mud.

Chen Ronggui nodded nonchalantly, pretending to be fooled by him.

On the side, while Jia Amnesty was persuading him to drink, a smile flashed across his eyes when he heard this. The shopkeeper was really unlucky to meet Chen Ronggui. Brought it into a suit, but who is Chen Ronggui, the eldest grandson of the Chen family, who grew up watching these people since he was a child, it would be eight lifetimes too early to fool him.

"Come on, let's come first." The shopkeeper said with a smile, "Five-flowered horses, six chiefs..."

"Oh, you lost, have a drink."

Chen Ronggui showed an annoyed look, patted his forehead, and drank the wine in one gulp. He rolled up his sleeves, as if he was irritated, "If you do it again, I won't believe it, I will still lose."

In the first three rounds, Chen Ronggui lost, the shopkeeper squinted his eyes with a smile, and all the guard in his heart dissipated. He looked over to Jia Amnesty, and both of them were drunk and unconscious.

Forget it, forget it, get this guy drunk, and he can do things well.

The shopkeeper thought in his heart, and poured wine for Chen Ronggui with a smile, "Come, drink, you're welcome."

Chen Ronggui's face was flushed and his eyes were fascinated. He waved his hands and hiccupped, "I can't drink anymore, I can't drink anymore."

"It's okay," the shopkeeper couldn't hide his joy, "Drink a few more glasses, it's nothing, if you get drunk, I'll just find a place for you to sleep."

Chen Ronggui was persuaded to drink the wine. He lowered his head and wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. His eyes were clear and clear. When he raised his head again, he was dazed again, "Come on, continue punching!"

The shopkeeper was so eager, he rolled up his sleeves quickly, intending to go all out and get him drunk, then not only would he take away the land deed and contract, but he would also have to search for the banknotes on the fat sheep.

Unexpectedly, in the next dozen consecutive rounds, Chen Ronggui seemed to be lucky, and won every time.

The shopkeeper drank a lot of wine, his face was flushed, and he felt a bit doubled, he hiccupped, his eyes were dim, "again, again!"

"Come on again," Chen Ronggui didn't expect this guy to be so wicked, he was almost drunk, and he was still thinking about his things.

"Come on!" The shopkeeper slapped the table and shouted, "I'm going to get you drunk!"

Jia Amnesty gave Chen Ronggui a look.

Chen Ronggui understood, so he simply released the water, deliberately lost a few rounds, and pretended to be drunk.

Jia Amnesty was already lying on the table, pretending to be drunk.

"Hi...," the shopkeeper managed to stay awake, he stood up, shook Chen Ronggui's body, and looked towards Jia She, "Anyway, I'm finally drunk, damn it, you two bastards , are so drinkable, it cost me more than a dozen taels of silver."

While scolding, the shopkeeper searched Chen Ronggui's sleeve, and took out two pieces of paper from his left sleeve. Drunk-eyed, he just looked at it, stuffed it into his arms, and went to search the other side. .

Seeing that Chen Ronggui was not feeling well, he deliberately pretended to be vomiting and turned around.

The shopkeeper was frightened half to death by his actions, and dared not move for a long time.

Outside, the coachman who had been ordered in advance knocked on the door, "Young master, young master, the master sent someone to look for you."

The shopkeeper didn't dare to do anything, so he hurriedly staggered forward and opened the door.

The coachman brought his tall and burly servant, and when the shopkeeper came to open the door, he asked, "Where's my young master?"

He asked, looking inside, and seeing Chen Ronggui and Jia Amnesty slumped on the chairs, he and his servants hurriedly stepped forward to help them up.

"I'm really sorry, my young master has caused you trouble." The coachman sent the man into the carriage, and after getting a signal from Chen Ronggui, he came out and said to the shopkeeper.

Nuonuo, the shopkeeper, shook his head, regretting endlessly, if he had known earlier, he should have done it sooner, but all the things on this fat sheep have not been searched yet.

But it was too late for him to regret.

The carriage has gradually moved away.

The shopkeeper went back inside and saw the apprentice still asleep on the table, snorted, because he got 2000 taels for nothing, he was in a good mood, so he went to the back room by himself, lying down. Sleep soundly in bed.

After falling asleep, I slept until the afternoon before waking up.

What are you doing outside here?

The shopkeeper was sleeping soundly, but when he was awakened by the sound, his forehead throbbed with pain.

He touched the contract and bank notes on his chest, got up and walked out.

When we got outside, the shopkeeper saw a lot of people packing up their things, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, he screamed: "What are you doing?"

"Shopkeeper, you've woken up. These people are trying to move things in, and even the smallest ones can't stop them." The apprentice said aggrievedly.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately became angry, "It's against the sky, is there any reason! You don't want to ask if I, Zhou Sheng, can be bullied casually? Xiaoba, go and call my brother-in-law Come!"

"Wait!" Jia She came out, "Shopkeeper, did you forget that you sold this shop to us?"

"What's for sale!" The shopkeeper immediately turned his face away, "I don't know you, and I didn't sell any shop to you, so don't talk about it!"

Chen Ronggui laughed angrily at his shameless face. Although he knew that the shopkeeper would be shameless, he was so shameless. You bought this shop, what do you mean now?"

"Hey, this young master is surprised when he sees it. When did I do business with you and when did I take your money? Don't talk nonsense." The shopkeeper thought he had taken away the land deed and contract. People have nothing to do with him, and his attitude is so arrogant that people can't help itching.

"Shopkeeper, what you said is wrong." Chen Ronggui was so angry that his hands were shaking.

"What are you arguing about, what are you arguing about," a voice suddenly came from outside.

A yamen servant in a green hat and brown clothes came in with a group of yamen servants.

As soon as Chen Ronggui saw him, he squeezed out a bright smile, "Brother-in-law, you are here, I have a bunch of ignorant guys here, and they are going to make trouble here!"

Bai Yang looked around the crowd and recognized two people in the crowd who were dressed differently from others. They were luxurious and handsome, and his heart skipped a beat. He was not as shallow-sighted as his brother-in-law. He only knew how to make money. Who could offend anyone? Don't offend him, he can see it.

But right now, these two people are clearly the ones that cannot be offended.

"What's going on here?" Bai Yang pulled Chen Sheng aside and asked with a frown.

Chen Sheng curled his lips, "What else can happen, just help me drive these two people away, and I will definitely benefit from you later."

Hearing this, Bai Yang still didn't understand, his brother-in-law was cheated again!

"Hurry up and return the money!" Bai Yang said in a low voice.

"You're stupid, 2000 taels, you think it's taels of money, if you give it back to him, then my work is not in vain today." Chen Sheng looked at Bai Yang as if he was looking at a fool.

Bai Yang was so angry that he wanted to hit him. It would be great if this brother-in-law was really an idiot, but he thought he was a little clever and always caused troubles.

No matter how angry he was, Chen Sheng had to clean up the mess for his brother-in-law, who told him that his father-in-law only had such a son, and he couldn't be allowed to have an accident.

"What do you call them?" Bai Yang decided to inquire about the identities of these two people first. If the family has some money, then they should be kicked out. It's unlucky for them today. If the family has some influence, it will be troublesome. , in a word, it depends on what people order.

Jia Amnesty and Chen Ronggui had already agreed that Jia Amnesty would never intervene in today's matter unless it was absolutely necessary.

Jia She chose this shop, not only because his family's business was the worst, but also because he wanted to use it to train Chen Ronggui. Sooner or later, Chen Ronggui would face a more difficult situation than this one, and now it happened to be his opportunity to practice.

"My surname is Chen." Chen Ronggui said.

List?There is no high-ranking official surnamed Chen in the capital, but I heard that there is a Chen family. Bai Yang already had a plan in mind, and he asked with a smile: "What is your relationship with the Chen family?"

Chen Ronggui was not surprised that he knew about the Chen family. The government servants in the capital are not old-fashioned fried dough sticks. If they didn't even know this, they would have been out of trouble for a long time. "I am the Chen family."

Bai Yang immediately made up his mind. He glanced at Chen Sheng and saw him making a sure gesture, so he made up his mind, "Come on, take them down for me!"

Immediately, several yamen servants rolled up their sleeves and stepped forward to surround Jia She and Chen Ronggui.

"What are you doing?" Chen Ronggui's eyes widened. He never expected that this person would be so bold and dare to cover Chen Sheng like no one else.

There were gradually people watching outside.

On the way, a carriage was blocked by the crowd.

Zhang Heng was processing official documents in the carriage, when the carriage stopped suddenly, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What happened?"

"My lord, there seems to be a government servant arresting people ahead, blocking the way." The coachman replied respectfully.

Zhang Heng frowned impatiently, his brows were low, and there was a little impatience in his black eyes. This morning, when the Seventh Prince's faction pulled Mr. Song from the Little Prince's faction, Emperor Jianming actually acquiesced in this , This made Zhang Heng a little irritable, and he couldn't bear to read the official document for a long time, and couldn't help but wonder what the meaning behind Emperor Jianming's move was.

"Go ask people to disperse and make way for them," Zhang Heng said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice from outside: "It's a coincidence that the two of you want to arrest the two of us. I was just about to sue you for abusing your power as a yamen servant, and you , buying and selling is inhumane, stealing chickens and dogs, and replacing pearls with fish eyes!"

Isn't this Jainhou?why is he hereZhang Heng lifted the curtain and looked into the distance, and it really was Jia Enhou.

"Wait a minute first." Zhang Heng stopped the coachman who was going to do some business, jumped off the carriage, and mixed into the crowd.

He walked slowly to a place with a better view, and watched what happened with cold eyes.

"You spitting blood!" Chen Sheng pointed at Jia She and scolded, "Everyone here doesn't know that I, Chen Sheng, are the most honest in doing business. For so many years, no one has ever said anything bad about me."

Someone in the crowd laughed in a low voice, obviously Chen Sheng's words couldn't be more false.

Bai Yang looked around the crowd, and pressed his finger on the knife at his waist.

The laughter in the crowd suddenly disappeared, but although the people dared not openly express their disgust towards Chen Sheng, they couldn't help whispering.

"I'm afraid these two sons are going to be in bad luck." Someone said in a low voice.

Zhang Heng paid attention to what they said, and when he heard this, he couldn't help asking: "Why?"

Seeing that he was handsome and elegant, the man replied: "Why else, this Chen Sheng is Bai Yang's brother-in-law. Could it be that Bai Yang didn't protect his brother-in-law but instead protected them? This guy Chen Sheng, since he came here, Just cheating and abducting all day long, this is not the first time someone has been cheated."

Zhang Heng's eyes flickered, the governor of Kyoto is the Seventh Prince's man, this is really hard to find, and it takes no effort to get it.

"Then why no one dares to sue?" Zhang Heng asked casually.

"Who dares to sue." The man covered his mouth and carefully looked around before saying: "The Lord Fu Yin and this Bai Yang are sworn brothers, and this Bai Yang saved the life of the Lord Fu Yin, even if he caused someone's death , Mr. Fu Yin always turns a blind eye to let people go."

There is also a life lawsuit!

Zhang Heng's eyes became brighter, he nodded, thanked the man, told him not to talk nonsense, and walked forward.

"Heh, you want to sue me?" Bai Yang was not only angry, but even laughed.

He looked around at everyone, pointed at Chen Ronggui and Jia She and said: "Everyone, today's incident was all started by these two robbers. These two robbers led a group of people to grab things from my brother-in-law. I My brother-in-law was clever and sent someone to come to me to arrest them, and they got all the stolen goods at that time! It is only natural for me to arrest them, but these two thieves, with their empty teeth, stained my innocence, it is too familiar!"
