But Jia Cong killed Ziyan, a spy sent by King Lu to the Rongguo Mansion, and shocked Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun.After the two of them talked for a long time, Jia Cong went back to the room to discuss: "I don't know if there are other spies. I'm afraid that Sister Yun's dowry must be passed through."

Shi Xiangyun said: "It all depends on Brother Cong."

Jia Cong nodded: "There's no need to alarm them, let's investigate quietly. Sister, don't want to tear yourself apart with Shi Hou, just say that Ziyan offended me and let me kill it."

Xiang Yun bowed his head and thought for a moment, "There is no reason, and she is clever, so it is not easy to offend you."

Starting from the sidelines: "Second Grandma Bao just pretends not to know the reason, if someone asks, she just makes an excuse that is obviously false."

Xiangyun hesitated for a moment, then agreed.The two of them went back to their own courtyard, and when they left the Pear Fragrance Court, Jia Cong immediately ordered him to follow them secretly.Get up and walk in, and say in the mouth: "You still need to say? I have to change into night clothes, don't I?" Jia Cong shrugged.

At the beginning of the day, he followed Baoyu and his wife back, crossed the courtyard wall and listened to their ears outside their window, listening to the maids changing their clothes, cleaning up and washing them.When the two of them came out to fetch water, Sheyue Cuilu whispered a few words, "What's wrong with the eyes of both of you? Why are you crying?" They didn't dare to ask.

A daughter-in-law was poking her head in front of the door, and after a while she couldn't help but go in and said, "Second Grandma, why didn't Ziyan come back?"

Xiang Yun put down the tea cup in his hand with a cold face: "Just pretend that there is no such person."

The daughter-in-law was taken aback.

Cui Lu whispered beside her: "Aunt Liu is Ziyan's godmother."

Xiangyun stared at Aunt Liu, making her shiver in fright.Xiang Yun said calmly: "Zi Yan is dead, don't mention her again."

Aunt Liu was shocked: "Why did he die so well?"

Xiangyun said: "Cong'er killed her, she insulted the Elder Master with wild words."

Aunt Liu blurted out: "Impossible!"

Xiang Yun shouted sharply: "Anyway, the man is dead! From now on, there will be no such man in our yard!"

Aunt Liu burst into tears immediately, and Fang choked up and asked for a long time: "Then... where is the corpse?"

Xiangyun shook his head, and said to her after a while: "You go down."

Aunt Liu was still about to speak, so Sheyue Cuilu pushed her out one by one.At one o'clock, he left the two masters behind and turned to stare at Aunt Liu, seeing her trot all the way out of the courtyard in a panic, and went straight back to her residence in the inner wall.At that point, she poked through the paper on the window and looked in, only to see her walking around in the room, visibly restless.

When her man came back, Aunt Liu grabbed him and shouted in a low voice, "Zi Yan is dead!"

Her man was startled: "Who died?"

"Miss Ziyan!" Aunt Liu said, "For some reason, Third Master Cong killed her."

Her man's calf was already trembling: "What's the reason?"

Aunt Liu said: "Second Mistress said that she uttered wild words and scolded the elder in the mansion. I see this excuse is nonsense. How can a person as smart as Zi Yan be confused? The master reminds me, let us take care of it." She listens to her in everything, so I feel strange. This Third Master Cong said that Nezha is from the lower realm, so Ziyan must have done something inappropriate for him to find out?"

Her man stomped his feet and said: "Miss Ziyan is obviously not an ordinary person, the master must have something important to tell her. Has anyone suspected you?"

Aunt Liu said: "No. I'm Ziyan's godmother, it's not unusual to ask twice."

Her husband thought for a while and said: "This matter is very important. You will find the second mistress tomorrow to ask for leave. You only said your father's birthday. Go back to our house and ask the master and wife." Aunt Liu nodded repeatedly.

The next morning Musk Moon came to Lixiangyuan.Jia Cong and others thought that there was some letter from Ziyan, but Baoyu couldn't sleep last night, so he got up in the middle of the night and wrote an "Fu in the Mud".It was about a piece of flawless and beautiful jade, which was beaten like a stubborn stone because it didn't get stuck in the mud, and finally the jade shattered.In the last section, the heart-piercing hate for the unkindness of the world and the injustice of the gods, you know with your eyes closed that it will surely attract the howling resonance of countless underappreciated and unlucky people.Jia Cong grinned so much that the corners of his mouth covered his cheeks! "Okay, okay, okay! Musk Moon, you just wait to get rich with your second master!"

Musk Moon hurriedly knelt down and thanked her.After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Third Lord... the slave girl asked something inappropriate..."

Jia Cong immediately put down his face: "If you know it's inappropriate to ask, then don't ask."

Musk Moon shivered in fright, and didn't dare to ask any more questions, and hurriedly kowtowed and walked away as if to escape.

On the other side, Aunt Liu asked for leave and went back to the historian's house, and didn't come back until noon.I don't want Jia Zongte's special envoy to send her man out to do some work, and it will be finished after dinner time.Start. Click on the letter and wait outside their house first.Not long after her man came back, Aunt Liu grabbed him and pulled him to the door.She said: "I went back to see the old man and his wife today. Both of them were terrified. Let's not act rashly and try to get Ziyan out of Lixiangyuan. Why was Ziyan killed? Can we say anything?"

The man said sadly: "Lixiang Courtyard was originally sparsely populated, and all the people living there were Cong Sanye's confidantes and half-masters, and three or four girls and boys couldn't listen to the master's words. I dare not talk to her...how can I find out."

Aunt Liu was also worried: "Isn't that right? Today I'm looking for Miss Cuilu to tell a story. She said that Sheyue went to Lixiangyuan in the morning, and before she could speak, Third Master Cong turned black." The couple sighed and did not know where they came from. start.

Qi. Dian smiled secretly outside.Jia Cong has been quite boring these two days, and Bao Buqi will play tricks on them.

Sure enough, when Jia Cong heard about it, he immediately invited a group of brothers to discuss how to fool the historians.The crowd broke out several comments in a hurry, and the more they broke up, the more outrageous they became.Some say that Ziyan hooked up with Jia Huan and Jarvis while others were unawares, causing their brothers to turn against each other, and some people said that she was transformed from the mouse in Journey to the West, and Nezha created a prototype in a circle!

Jia Huan couldn't go on listening: "You can just make up ideas, don't talk so outrageously."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Don't be casual! What everyone said is very good, you can spread it to the outside world! Don't they want to inquire? Give them sixty or seventy reasons, and guess casually. As far as the IQ of the two masters of the historian is concerned, Make sure they believe in everything, but those who don't believe in themselves have made a mistake and let us see through." Everyone laughed.

But at this moment, a young man came in outside and said that some Hanako came to the door to beg for food.Jia Cong frowned and said, "Why doesn't Huazi go to the gate and come to my Lixiangyuan to beg for food? It can't be that someone is making trouble." So he went to have a look.The brothers followed suit.

When I came out, it looked like a family of three, an old man who was sick, a man in his thirties, and a boy in his [-] or [-] years.The boy went up to ask questions and came back, their house ran out of water, the boy's mother was burned to death, and now he has no food and clothing, he heard that the Rongguo Mansion is very generous, so he wanted to beg for a bowl of leftovers.Jia Cong asked him to ask why he didn't go through the gate. After a while, the servants said back and forth that the gate was too neat and luxurious, and they dared not go forward.Jia Cong nodded and ordered them to come in.

Leading the three Huazi into the yard for a while, Jia Cong called everyone to move some chairs out and sit down. In the blink of an eye, the seats were filled in a mess, as if they were basking in the sun.He ordered again to move one for the old man.The old man didn't dare to sit down, saying that he was afraid he would dirty the nobleman's chair.Jia Cong said with a smile: "You should sit down at your age. There's no reason for me to sit while you stand." He dusted off his clothes again and again and sat down.

He ordered tea to be served again, but the old man just shook his head vigorously and dared not drink tea again.Jia Cong took a few sips himself and asked, "Old man, what do you dare to ask? What are you going to test me for today?"

The old man was taken aback.

Jia Cong said: "Rongguo Mansion has many good names outside, saying that my father hides his talents and hides his talent, and our brothers are rare, but they have never been known for being kind and charitable. Even though my grandmother used to send people outside to spread The copper coins were used to pray for elder brother Baoyu, and I never spread money at the gate of the house. Those who come to our house to beg for food are probably beaten out by those scumbags. Although I am not talented, I still have self-knowledge. Besides, even if I dare not go If we go to the main gate of our mansion, we should also go to the corner gate, how could anyone find the head of my house in Lixiangyuan? This door is not easy to find, if it is a coincidence, it will not happen."

The sickness on the old man's body disappeared instantly, his back straightened and he was full of energy, he looked at him for a long time, staring at him and said: "Even if you guessed it, why don't you play along with the old man! You are young Light is so boring!"

Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "It's fun for me to play with others, but it's not interesting for them to play with me."

Helpless, the old man looked around for a while, then got up and stood behind Jia Cong, looking at him and smiling.Suddenly he let out a long sigh: "Boy, do you recognize me?"

Jia Cong shook his head: "I don't know."

The old man said: "There are still couplets written by my father hanging in the Rongxi Hall of your house."

Jia Cong thought for a while, isn't the couplet in Rongxi Hall just like "the pearls on the seat illuminate the sun and the moon, and the front of the hall glows with haze"?That thing was written by his great-grandfather Mu Shi, king of Dongping County. "A Dream of Red Mansions" is written about "Dong'an County King", which aroused the imagination of many indexists in later generations.When Jia Cong came to this time and space, he went to Rongxi Hall to see it, but the inscription on it was "Dongping". It seems that Lao Cao made a mistake.It's just that Lord Dongping has seen it before!It was not this old man who celebrated their fiftieth birthday just before they left Beijing.He hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Is the old man the uncle of Lord Mu?"

The old man nodded: "That kid Mu Zhu is my nephew."

Jia Cong blinked his eyes: "Well... dare I ask the old man's name with a wooden border?"

The old man glanced at him: "Not bad."

Jia Cong grinned and said, "My lord is named Dai Caotou, and my nephew is named Dai Zhutou. Together, your family has formed an indissoluble bond with plants."

The old man stared at him for a while, then turned his head and asked: "Girl of the Chen family, is he always like this?"

Qi Dian smiled and said, "Yes, it has always been like this."

Jia Cong saw that the two of them were close, so he knew that the Dongping Palace was probably Situ Hou's man, and Gan Lei said that he was probably the one who wanted to discuss with someone.Arguing in his mouth: "Why are you so careless?"

Jia Huan probed and said, "It's what you often say, 'you can't grasp the point'."

Jia Cong muttered, "It's just a few words of greeting when we meet for the first time, looking for something to talk to..." He looked at the uncle and boy again, waved his fingers and said, "Actually, you still have a loophole."

"Ok?"

Jia Cong looked at the boy and said: "This brother is so delicate and round, you can still see the dust on his face. Even if a small family is pampered and pampered, it can raise a precious child, and such a small family hides some Silver and two copper coins, so that we will not be deprived of food and clothing after running out of water. Seeing that we Qiusheng are also children of poor families, and are also cherished by the family, we have grown up to look like tigers." The young man smiled, and the corners of Mu's mouth twitched. Smoke, the man snickered.

Qi Dian pursed his lips and smiled, stepped forward to salute the old man Namu: "I have seen the old general."

Old man Mu pointed at Jia Cong and said, "Do you believe this reckless kid?"

Jia Cong said tirelessly: "Okay, okay~~ If you say reckless, be reckless." This made everyone laugh.

Old man Mu glared at him, and said again: "Boy, let me ask you, what would you do if you really met a Huazi like us."

Jia Cong said: "Order the kitchen to deliver a meal, help that uncle guide the way to some temples with great ideas, suggest him to temporarily accommodate the old and the young, and tell him where most of the hard-working people are looking for work."

Old man Mu said: "Aren't you going to pay me?"

Jia Cong said: "It doesn't matter whether you will get a good word after giving it, is it useful to give money?"

Old man Mu wondered: "How do you know these things at such a young age? You are like an old man who has experienced many things in the world."

Jia Cong said: "I have known for a long time that it is useless to use 'thinking', 'hoping', and 'begging' in the world. Just like when I was a child, no one answered me. Brother Baoyu is so popular and spicy. So what if she recited it tens of thousands of times? What about praying to Buddha and Bodhisattva? I was not born in my wife’s belly at all.”

Old man Mu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Where's your wet nurse?"

Jia Cong said: "I have been sent out of the house early. I gave her a property and settled down. Her two sons also have their own livelihoods."

Old man Mu said: "She treats you very well, is this the only way you repay her?"

Jia Cong said: "According to the old man, should I let her continue to be a slave in our family, or give them a lot of money and support her son, and let them ride on the heads of ordinary people with the famous brand of our mansion? Domineering?"

"Nonsense! How can it be so outrageous?" Old Mu said, "Your family has a lot of property, and your wet nurse's son only runs two ordinary grocery stores to make ends meet."

Jia Cong shrugged and said, "Have you checked this all the time? Her son is just an ordinary mediocre person and not very motivated. It doesn't take much skill to open a grocery store, but they can do it. As the saying goes, being a monk hits the clock one day, How much food I can eat. The only thing I can give her is the status of a good citizen, so I can visit her and send her grandson to private school in the future. If I give too much, either she will be targeted by thieves because of her money, or Her son will take a high position because of his incompetence and bring my shop down."

Old man Mu stiffened his neck and said, "Your shop has many shops, so why not trouble them with one or two."

Jia Cong said: "Aren't those talented guys under them going to be pissed off by him? The shop is not owned by the owner, nor is it owned by the shopkeeper. From the owner to the shopkeeper to the boy, everyone has put in their best efforts."

Old man Mu stared at him again.

Jia Cong said: "Old man, let's look at the Zhen family in Jiangnan."

After a long while, old man Mu sighed: "If you had been born 50 years earlier and assisted the late emperor, how would the world have come to this!"

Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "The old man also thinks it's the late emperor's fault that the world has come to this point?"

Old man Mu was stunned, and said to the man, "This boy is not only brave! He has to meet the Lord of Ming, and if he meets the Lord of Faintness, he is not sure how he will die."

Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "Is it okay for me to say that now that the late emperor has collapsed? Otherwise, I wouldn't dare. I'm most afraid of death."

Old man Mu stared at him for a long time, Jia Cong simply sat upright and let him watch, and even stood up and turned around.After half a stick of incense, old man Mu sighed: "What Gan Lei said is true. Only with his temperament can we give everyone a way out."

Jia Cong blinked: "Huh? Does General Gan still want to recruit me?"

The old man Mu said seriously: "It's not joining the gang. It's all for you."

Jia Cong was stunned for three seconds: "...Leave it to me?"

Old man Mu nodded slowly and said, "That's right. I'll leave the foundation left by Liu Dengxi to you."

This is cheap!Jia Cong looked up at the sky—has the pie fallen?
