Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Mrs. Chai had a loud voice. At this time, she deliberately lowered her voice, and everyone in the teahouse heard it. It was out of their own interests. He tilted his body and looked at the man who was looking at a world different from himself and others beside him.Under the shadow of the curtain of the teahouse, there were two men, one master and one servant, who ordered a bowl of tea but didn't drink it. There were many guests, and the proprietress didn't care.

The man's surname is also Chai. He is on duty next to the head of the Zhen family and serves as an aide, but the aides are also divided into high and low. A group of capable and powerful staff members gathered around the master.

Firstly, I have little talent, secondly, I have no money, and thirdly, I have no power.Mr. Chai touched the oilcloth bag in his hand, that is, he was sitting on a cold bench and running errands, so it was his turn to talk.

At this time, a group of people, one in their fifties or sixties, listened intently with their ears pricked up. Mr. Chai's inner vanity gradually grew, and he cursed himself for being nothing more than a pariah. How could they understand?

"It's hard to say, how can you talk nonsense about the things above."

Aunt Chai's eyes lit up.Common people's lives are monotonous, either working or resting. The greatest joy of gossip is to listen to the scholars talk about ancient times, and gossip about the gossip of those people above. Yes, this dynasty is open-minded, even if you say something wrong, it doesn't matter. Besides, when you move your upper and lower lips, what you say is silent and unsubstantiated, so who cares about you.

Once in the countryside, during the slack season, several farmers and women were chatting about the mountains, and a farmer woman asked, wondering what life the emperor's family lived.A peasant woman replied that it must be an excellent life. When the queen wants to eat, she will say maid, bring me a persimmon cake.The farmer added that the emperor's rake should be made of gold.

"Sir, let's talk about it, we just want to know why this year is like this, and whether it will be the next year..."

"That's not good. Before this prince broke something, the sage was merciful, he was named Prince Yizhong, and he was detained in Ping'an Prefecture. The prince has always been a virtuous minister and filial son. How could he behave so rebelliously? The sage thought this It was all provoked by the servants below, and our place is also the place where the Holy Majesty focuses on cleaning up and observing."

Besides, this girl's prosperity is all supported by their Zhen family, the prince is abolished, isn't Prince Yide the one who is certain?

It's just that the fact that the Zhen family is not afraid doesn't mean that other people are not afraid. The emperor's investigation of the prince's party has spread from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River. Who would have the guts to dare to have fun at this time? It's no wonder this group of untouchables can have business!

Aunt Chai didn't quite understand what she heard. However, Jiangnan has had the darkest politics since ancient times, with intertwined rights and changing interests. Almost every time there is a change of emperor, officials will be purged. People don't pay attention to political affairs, but after decades, this Many officials around the border were either taken back to Kyoto, or directly questioned and executed.

After careful calculation, the saint has been on the throne for decades, and they have Mr. Lin here. Although their traders often dislike him for being too strict, after all these years of stability, is it going to be chaotic again?

Those who can set up stalls by the Huaihe River are either smart or have some connections. Everyone is from the city, no more than those real ignorant farmers. Thinking of these principles, everyone frowned. I heard that the sage was not feeling well, but he kept dragging on, and he didn't...

This year's situation should continue for a while, which is a big blow to them.

Different from the sad faces of ordinary people, Mr. Chai is expressionless, and seems to have a feeling of compassion, but careful observation shows that Mr. Chai's voice is full of joy.

It was said earlier that Mr. Chai is on duty in the Zhen residence, and the Zhen family is the second prince's natal family, and the second prince's party is firmly established. The status is the highest, and the remaining few princes are either of low status or lack of ability. The chaos in the south of the Yangtze River is just the second prince's party taking the opportunity to win over their confidants and install officials.

Mr. Chai's hand holding the package tightened unknowingly. The entire Zhen Manor was very busy, otherwise he, a disregarded disciple, would not have carried out such an important task.The light of determination flashed in Mr.'s slightly squinted eyes. This is definitely a good opportunity to climb to the top.

Thinking of this, Mr. Chai became more and more excited, and his blood swelled up. It seemed that the fatigue just now was just an illusion. He picked up the bowl, took a sip, and then stood up quickly. Mrs. Chai was a laborer, and her movements were more agile, one step faster than Mr. , helped Mr. pick up his small bag, and was about to hand it to him, but Mr. snatched it away.

Then the husband seemed to realize something was wrong, coughed, turned his gaze to other places, and said, "It's getting late, I still have things to do, so I'll take a step forward."

At the same time, the small burden in his hand was tightly held.Fortunately, Mrs. Chai silently calculated the gains and losses in her heart, and didn't care about it.After he finished speaking, he strode away.

After he left, the original silent atmosphere was suddenly broken, and instantly boiled like cold water into hot oil.

"Hey, what does the above matter have to do with us, why is it blocking our way of life..."

"What else can I do, I just hope that something will end..."

"I ordered so many ingredients, isn't it all a loss..."

"Who knows if what the gentleman said is true? Why listen to him..."

"Shh, who do you think he is? He's a disciple of the Zhen family!"

"Which Zhen residence?"

"Which Zhen's house is there? Which earth emperor's Zhen's family, the future emperor's family..."

"It's that family, and that family is the one that loves "girls" the most. In that case, we just need to get through the whole day..."

"Who knows! Who knows if it's true or not..."

……

At this time, no one noticed that during the quarrel, the two people who were originally sitting beside the teahouse and shadowed by the curtain quietly left. If you observe carefully, you can find that the two The direction of people leaving is the same as the direction of Mr. who just caused everyone to argue.

Looking back at Mr. Chai, Mr. Chai was going to Zhen's Mansion, and he walked in an alley in order to go back quickly. The alley was facing the gate of Zhen's Mansion. When he was about to leave the alley, Mr. Chai saw a figure at the gate of Zhen's Mansion. Constantly, coming and going.

This is not the beginning of the banquet. Mr. Chai knows that they are here to say hello and to establish relationships. Mr. Chai is proud and excited. Wealth is inseparable from himself, the smile on Mr.'s face could not be restrained, but at this moment, Mr. Chai only felt a pain in his back, and his eyes went dark, so he didn't know anything.

After an unknown amount of time, Mr. Chai was awakened by the noise not far away, and he raised his drowsy head with difficulty. At this moment, something slipped from his head.
