A Dream of Red Mansions I Am Jia Huan

Chapter 6 The big fish takes the bait

Seeing the young man he met at Shiweitian that day, Jia Huan was not much surprised!Instead, it was as if his arrival was expected. "Huan'er, this big...uh, son, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Qin Ye glanced at the young man and winked at Jia Huan.

Jia Huan didn't seem to have noticed Qin Ye's reminder, and smiled bluntly, "I don't know who it is, so it's you. What do you want to do with me today. If it's okay, I'm going to go enjoy the cool. The weather is really hot."

The young man kept a gentleman's smile as always, stopped Qin Ye who was about to speak, and said, "Little brother, you are still as straightforward! Don't you wonder why I was looking for you, and how did I find you?"

Jia Huan looked at the boy and smiled and said, "You are really interesting. You still have to ask me when you know the answer yourself? Well, I guess you came to me because you lost to me that day, maybe you have never eaten It’s a loss, so if you lose a lot that day, you will definitely get it back. Am I right.”

The young man still had a warm smile on his face, and he nodded undeniably.Seeing the boy nodding, Jia Huan continued, "As for how you found me, this kind of question seems to be out of standard!"

"Oh! How do you say that?" A little bit of doubt appeared on the young man's calm face.

"Hey, with your strength, don't say where I live. It's just the surname, birth date, and family members who know it all." Jia Huan said angrily.

"Haha! Good! Good!" Hearing Jia Huan's words, the young man uncharacteristically laughed out loud, disregarding his image.Qin Ye also laughed dryly at the side.

"So, you already know my identity?" The young man casually glanced at Qin Ye.There was a lot of suspicion that Qin Ye was leaking secrets.

"Wrong, to be specific, I don't fully know your identity yet." Jia Huan didn't want to explain, but he was afraid of hurting Qin Ye, so he explained it to the young man.

The young man smiled slightly, cupped his fists towards Qin Ye and said, "Master Qin, my nephew Ling and I had a great conversation, and we want to go out for a few drinks. I wonder if it's okay?"

Qin Ye turned his head to look at Jia Huan, saw him nodding his head, and immediately said, "Master's words are serious, but Huan'er is still young, please forgive me if I offend you."

"Hehe, Mr. Qin has filtered it. Your nephew is quick-witted and smart. How dare you say something offensive." After speaking, he took Jia Huan and left the Qin residence.

The two of them sat in the Qin Manor's carriage until they arrived at Shiweitianmen's mouth, and just got off the carriage.Jia Huan was dumbfounded.The original piece of golden bronzing characters is no longer there.It was replaced by a plaque made of sandalwood, which read "Wanxiangyuan" impressively.

Seeing Jia Huan staring blankly at the plaque, the smile on the young man's face became wider.This is what he wanted.

"This..." Jia Huan also came back to his senses at this time, it seems that he has found out about me.Just one month.

"Brother Jia, please..." The young man gestured to come in.Jia Huan was not hypocritical and went in directly.Entering the hall, except for some mistresses standing there, there were no other guests.Come to think of it, the boy has completely bought this place.

The boy took Jia Huan to the second floor and sat down at the place where they met that day.The young man smiled and said, "How is this restaurant compared to your Wanxiangyuan?"

"Sure enough, I even know this!" Jia Huan smiled bitterly in his heart, but smiled slightly on his face, and said, "This place is indeed several times larger than my Wanxiangyuan. But when it comes to this dish, I think it is truly Wanxiang. Fragrance source is slightly better."

"Haha, that's true. Brother Jia, although I have never been to Jinling to taste your Wanxiangyuan products, I still believe what you said." The young man smiled happily.

"Hey, you have exposed my old background. It's meaningless to talk about it. Tell me, what do you want from me today! Fourth Highness!"

Hearing the first few sentences, the young man smiled like a flower, but after hearing the last few sentences, the smile froze on his face, and he blurted out, "How do you know I'm the fourth prince?"

Looking at the boy's rich facial expressions, Jia Huan felt amused, "So, I guessed it right!"

"What. Did you guess?" The boy said with wide-eyed eyes.

"Not necessarily, how should I put it, to be precise, it's reasoning..."

"Reasoning?" The teenager encountered the first-ever noun barrier.

Jia Huan patted his forehead and explained, "This reasoning! It's a conclusion based on some evidence and clues. Do you understand?"

The boy showed a barely understandable meaning.Jia Huan didn't explain anymore, if you don't know, you don't know.

"Then Brother Jia, what clues did you use to know my identity?" the young man asked unrelentingly.

"First, what are you wearing? Do you remember what boots you were wearing that day?" Jia Huan asked the boy.

"Yes?"

"Thick-soled yellow boots. That kind of yellow fabric is only qualified to be worn by the royal family. Since you dare to wear it in public, it means that you must be a member of the royal family."

"But with this pair of shoes alone, I'm afraid I can't be sure that I'm the Fourth Prince?" The boy nodded and said.

"Of course. After I went back that time, I asked my cousin. Then I learned that the current emperor has five sons. Among them, the first prince died a few years ago. Now the only one left is the second prince. , the fourth prince, the sixth prince, and the tenth prince. As far as I know, the second prince should be in his twenties. I think you are only seventeen or eighty at most, so naturally you cannot be him, and the tenth prince is also Impossible. I heard that the tenth prince is only 5 years old this year. The only ones left are the fourth prince and the sixth prince who are about the same age." Jia Huan said while drinking the high-quality Longjing tea.

"Then how do you tell whether I am the sixth prince or the fourth prince?" the young man said with great interest.

"I've heard that the current Sixth Prince is on good terms with King Ning. Don't you know that doing this is associating with wolves and luring wolves into the house." Jia Huan gave the young man a meaningful look.

"Good! Good! Good! Wonderful." The boy said three "good" words in a row, clapping his hands and shouting. "Brother Jia, you've got it right. That's right, I am the fourth prince. The few words I had with Brother Jia that day gave me a clue. So this time, I came here to ask Brother Jia for advice."

"Hehe, it's really flattering for you, a prince, to ask me for advice!" Jia Huan waved his hands humbly.Now that the relationship and identity are clear, Jia Huan can't do whatever he wants.No matter how awesome you are, you are no better than the prince. After all, it is very easy for a prince to kill you.

"Brother Jia, you are the most strategic person I have ever seen, and the most precious thing is that you are only ten years old! If you can help me behind the scenes. If Hongli can ascend to the throne, you will be the number one hero." The young man was excited Said.

"His name is Hongli. Damn it, it's a real loss for you not to be the emperor." After hearing the boy's name, Jia Huan murmured to himself.

"Your Highness can appreciate Jia Huan, but he doesn't think Jia Huan is vulgar. He was young and ignorant. From now on, Jia Huan will be devastated, and he will devote himself to death." Jia Huan showed an appearance of swearing allegiance to the death.Let Hongli praise again and again.

After talking with Jia Huan about the scene, Hongli really got to the point. "Brother Jia thinks that in the current situation, how should I handle myself."

Jia Huan has roughly figured out the trend of the court this month.After all, it is in the capital.If there is a sign of trouble, people will know.So he rubbed his chin and asked, "The current emperor has not registered a prince, which means that he has not set his sights on any prince. By the way, what is your father's attitude towards King Ning?"

"King Ning is my father's younger brother. He is good to him on weekdays. Otherwise, the rumors of King Ning's succession circulating in the capital are enough to destroy him." Hongli said coldly.

"Oh, then, among you princes, who do you think is most likely to be selected as the crown prince?" Jia Huan asked.

"On weekdays, my royal father treats all brothers the same. If I really want to say it, it should be the deceased eldest brother who is most likely to be the crown prince. Unfortunately, he passed away early." Hongli said with red eyes. He has an average relationship with that big emperor brother.

"You mean that, including King Ning, each of your princes is likely to succeed to the throne." Jia Huan analyzed slowly.

"Well, it is indeed possible." Hongli nodded after thinking about it.

"It's a bit disrespectful to ask one last question, but please answer me truthfully, Your Highness!" Jia Huan said solemnly.

Hongli, who had never seen Jia Huan so serious before, also lifted his spirits, nodded and said, "You ask. I will never hide what I know!"

Jia Huan put his mouth close to Hongli's ear and asked softly, "How long will the Holy Majesty have to live?"

After hearing this, Hongli's body visibly trembled, and then he tried his best to relax himself, glanced at Jia Huan, gritted his teeth and said, "According to the steward of the Imperial Hospital, my father only has one year's life at most."

"Yes, I understand." Jia Huan nodded.He stopped talking and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.Hongli didn't bother him either, just drinking tea absent-mindedly.

After a while, Jia Huan raised his head, and Hongli immediately came to his senses, looking at Jia Huan expectantly.

"Your Highness, after you go back today, don't go out of the palace if you have nothing to do in the future. And don't get involved in the vortex of seizing the throne." Jia Huan said flatly.

"What? You mean, let me give up?" Hongli asked in disbelief.

"No, as long as you stay away from that circle, I guarantee you the best chance of winning the throne." Jia Huan said slowly.

"I would like to hear the details!" Hongli also heard Jia Huan's implication.It's just not clear yet.

Jia Huan smiled lightly and said, "It is for your own good that I asked His Highness not to participate in the circle of nonsense. How many people in ancient and modern times have lost their lives because of fighting for the throne."

"Then what should I do?" Hongli asked as if he understood something.

"Go to accompany your royal father every day. Greetings in the morning, noon, and evening. Rain or shine. If possible, it is best to chat with him. But remember, you must not mention things related to the throne. If your father mentions Come out, you don't have to hide your desire to be the emperor, but you can't be too entangled. Talk more about the things you were happy when you were young."

Hongli was originally a smart person, after hearing Jia Huan's words, he had fully understood Jia Huan's plan.As long as the current emperor does not die for a day, he is still the current emperor.No one can change this.Even if the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all support someone to be the emperor, as long as the emperor appoints a prince at the last moment.Then they don't have any say.In other words, everything you do now is in vain.Jia Huan's strategy made Hongli feel that it was indeed right to find this 10-year-old child.Hongli seems to have seen his own future...falling into infinite reverie.
