[Red Chamber] I just want to be a dummy

I have only read half of the book and I can't read it anymore. If the author stops updating, he can send a blade or something to the author, especially the Eighth Prince, who is not very powerful, but has a high position.

As a prince, the eighth prince can also act coquettishly with his father, get the author beside him as a companion, and urge the manuscript directly face to face.

But the key now is that the author has already written it, and only this one is in the hands of his sister-in-law.

She is the crown princess, compared to the backstage background, it is said that the crown princess still has the only grandson in her belly, and the eighth prince does not have the courage to confront the crown princess.

Of course, the ancestral family law did not allow a younger brother of the eighth prince to quarrel with his sister-in-law to grab the book.

For an old bookworm, finding a book that he likes to read, and even reading the beginning, but there is no need to read it, it is simply uncomfortable.

The eighth prince doesn't have any ambitions to seize the throne, so the hobby of impeaching and impeaching ministers who are intriguing with his brothers can be used to divert attention.

Isn't this a sigh to see the sky?

The eunuchs and maids around the eighth prince couldn't stand the eighth prince's appearance, but fortunately, the eunuchs could go out of the palace every ten days.

The little eunuchs always secretly feel that they have got a good master, not to mention the bad temper of the other princes, and the eunuchs around them are often beaten and scolded.

That is to say, in recent years, because of those things that people can't see and people can see, many eunuchs have died to silence them.

But it's different around the Eighth Prince. The Eighth Prince has a good temper, and rewards eunuchs like them from time to time.What's more, the eighth prince is a man who doesn't like to mess with things, so the people around him don't have to worry about their lives.

Seeing that the Eighth Prince was unhappy, the little eunuch who knew the Eighth Prince very well and was loyal was not in a hurry to go home, so he made a detour to Beishi to search for his master's scripts as soon as he left the palace.

"Shopkeeper, what good books do you have recently?" The little eunuch was sold into the palace since he was a child. Although he has been with the Eighth Prince for so many years, he is still illiterate.

But it's okay, if you ask the shopkeeper about the latest sales, the book will be fine.

The eunuch's voice is always a little different from other people's, and the shopkeeper can hear it as soon as he hears it.

Recently, because of Jia Jing's story book, the shopkeeper who had made a lot of money was happily counting the money, when he heard someone ask him this out of the blue.After all, it is a bookstore, and the shopkeeper can hear this kind of questioning all year round. Naturally, it is nothing, but the person who asked the question is a little different.

Not long after the establishment of this dynasty, and now it is a very strict one, so naturally no eunuchs have come to extort money, but the shopkeeper has also heard a lot of deeds from the elders about the extravagant and lustful eunuchs in the previous dynasty.

Of course, even if they came to extort money, the shopkeeper had no way to drive them out, he just wailed in his heart, how could he be so ignorant this year, there are always ghosts and monsters in the store.

"My little brother, the shelf to your left is full of popular books, you can just pick whatever you want, especially the one on the top, which has been selling very well recently." The most popular book that the shopkeeper said was naturally Not to mention the book written by Jia Jing, not to mention that people who have read it are starting to urge the next one, but the low price can double the sales.

"How much?" The sale was very popular, and the little eunuch thought that even if it was a little more expensive, he would definitely buy it back for his master to kill time.

"Consistently." Huh?Not here for blackmail?

The shopkeeper was puzzled for a moment, he had already prepared to take it for nothing, but fortunately, the book was not expensive to sell, and he would not lose money.

"Shopkeeper, do you think our family doesn't look like a good person? Or do I look easy to deceive?" The little eunuch was originally sold to the palace because his family was poor, so naturally he couldn't do it outside the palace. He is the one who serves the Eighth Prince to run amok.

What's more, if you do this kind of thing and get caught by the other princes, what will you do if you threaten the master with this matter.The little eunuch was still afraid that his family would use him to cause disaster to the village, so he just told his family that he was just a little eunuch who scolded and never dared to reveal that he was serving the eighth prince.

Even if he stayed in the palace all the time, but after all, there is such a master as the Eighth Prince who loves conversation books, the little eunuch knows the price of the conversation books very well, and there are such cheap prices there.

Could it be that someone deliberately set this up?The little eunuch wondered, the royal family is really not for ordinary people, even if his master made it clear that he didn't compete for the big position, but since his master and the prince went out of the palace, the prince who came to the master to test is also true Not a lot.

"My little brother, what am I coaxing you to do? The book you have in hand was written by Jing Erye of Ning Mansion, so it is so cheap, and the others are naturally not so cheap." The shopkeeper said with a wry smile.

Sure enough, this isn't anything to worry about.

The little eunuch was also muttering in his heart, as expected, it would be strange if there was nothing tricky here, the men of Ningguo Mansion wrote a storybook?This is Jing Erye, how could it be possible to write such a thing as a storybook, it is too late for people to read sage books, not to mention how old Jing Erye is.If the shopkeeper said it was a branch of the Jia family, he would still believe it.

I feel in my heart that there is a ghostly little eunuch in this bookshop. I am afraid that I will cause any trouble to the master. How dare I buy books? I don’t even go home, so I go back and tell the Eighth Prince what happened to me today, that’s okay. Let the eighth prince prepare early, the other princes are already eyeing him.

"What?" The eighth prince asked, grabbing the little eunuch's collar, "Say it again, is it really written by Jia Jing from Ningguo Mansion?" The eighth prince's voice was a little more excited.

"Yes, the shopkeeper is also stupid, and he can't find a good reason for lying. How could Second Master Jing write a storybook." Seeing the master's excited expression, the little eunuch felt that he had done something.

"Fuxi, I'm going out of the palace, you follow and show me which bookstore it is."

"Yes." Although the little eunuch felt a little strange, the original master had a non-provoking temperament and rarely had conflicts with other princes, so why did he plan to call him today.

But he thought, he was just a slave, so naturally he would follow what the master said.

The eighth prince was delighted to buy the book of the words he had been thinking about for a long time, and he couldn't care less about why there was a reprinted version outside when the book was clearly in the hands of his concubine's wife, so he eagerly read it.

But this story book is just a thin book, and the characters inside are a bit big. In such a book, Jia Jing just wrote that the protagonist was accepted into the fairy gate, and then Jia Jing got stuck in the plot, this story book At the end of the story, the protagonist just encountered a second-order monster on the outskirts of the back mountain just after entering his breath.

Originally, after reading the beginning, the eighth prince wanted to read the whole story book, scratching his lungs, wishing he could ask his prince brother for the story book, but wait for him to read the whole book.The Eighth Prince only wants to see the next plot.

Now the eighth prince can't wait to live in Ningguo Mansion to urge Jia Jing to write the script in person, if he doesn't write it, he will threaten him with a knife.

However, Jia Jing really has no time to write about the next plot.

Originally, in view of Jia Fu's poor health, Jia Daihua had made up his mind to let Jia Jing inherit the title, so he thought that it would be okay to raise Jia Jing.Anyway, although there is no mine in the family, there is a storehouse of gold and silver, and a title of guaranteed income in drought and flood, Jia Jing will not hesitate no matter how prodigal he is.

But now Jia Fu's health is better.

According to the ancestral family law, it is natural that Jia Fu, the eldest son, inherits the title, and no one can pick out the kind that makes sense.

The two brothers Jia Fu and Jia Jing seem to be in a good relationship now, but what if the title is involved?Jia Daihua felt a great headache, if this title became the source of the brothers' rivalry, it would be better not to have this title.

Jia Daihua thought that he had to make it clear to the two brothers in advance that the title must be given to Jia Fu, so naturally more of the family's money should be given to Jia Jing.

Of course, these days, if you don't have any skills, no matter how much money you have, you can't keep it, so Jia Daihua once again moved the idea of ​​letting Jia Jing enter the imperial examination.

Coincidentally, ever since Xu Yi met Jia Jing, he had the idea of ​​taking Jia Jing as his disciple, the kind of closed disciple.Originally, due to Jia Jing's embarrassing status, it was not easy to come to ask for an apprentice, but now I heard that Jia Fu is in good health.

Xu Yi felt that Jia Jing was really a gift from God to be his apprentice, so he didn't care about the reservedness of scholars, so he went directly to discuss with Jia Daihua.
