The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

The Xu family's daughter-in-law's desire to reconcile and leave has been going on for a month, and everyone in the streets and alleys knows about it. "Yanjing Weekly" not only added three additional issues on serious days, but also published three special issues.No matter how interesting the news was, after discussing it for a month, ordinary people could say and listen to everything, and even the storyteller started talking about Journey to the West again.Just at this time, the headline on the front page of the "Yanjing Weekly" threw out a big news: Dali Temple will have a public trial of the case in half a month.The melon-eating crowd who had just dispersed heard it, and immediately regrouped and became more enthusiastic.

In the beginning, it was Mr. Chen who helped Xu Ci visit celebrities and scholars.After Yao Jiazhen published the family affairs in the newspaper, Xu Ci couldn't find the prince of Shu.I'm afraid that the future will change, so I just ask around for everything.Finally, I heard that there was a guest who often went to a certain tea house, who seemed to be an important figure in the Shu Kingdom, and hurried to wait.After waiting for two days, it can be regarded as waiting for that person.Sure enough, this person came from the Kingdom of Shu, and his demeanor was clearly from a high-ranking family.Xu Ci stepped forward to inquire.

After hearing this, the man raised his eyebrows and said, "Young son of Shu? Come to Yan?"

Xu Ci nodded vigorously: "Yes. I have known Wansheng for more than half a month."

The man took a sip of tea and said, "Did he ask you for money?"

Xu Ci was slightly stunned: "No."

"If he asks you for money, don't give it to him. The man is designated as a liar."

Xu Ci said anxiously: "How could it be a liar! He also gave me an ancient fan, which is priceless."

"Oh." The man took another sip of tea, "That fan must be a fake." Xu Ci was about to refute the case, but the man continued, "My elder brother has already taken over our country's government affairs, busy day and night, and never has time to spare. The country of Yan is here." Nai put down his tea money and left.Xu Ci was struck by lightning.After a long time, I ran away.

The next day, Qi Guofu sent someone to invite him to discuss matters.When I got to the study, I saw Xu Ci sitting in front of the desk dumbfounded.The man came up to Qian'er with a smile on his face and said: "Congratulations to Mr. Xu. Our Elder Master has invited the elders from various prefectures to discuss matters, and we will ensure that Mr. Third's lawsuit will be won properly."

Xu Ci murmured: "What kind of lawsuit is there?"

The people of Qi State Mansion were stunned: "What did Mr. Xu say?"

Xu Ci's eyes were burning: "The lawsuit is over. I don't want to make peace. I want to welcome Mrs. Yao back."

The man changed his face immediately, and said with a sneer: "Mr. Xu is still in a dream. Now it's not you who want to leave or leave, it's someone who wants to leave you."

Xu Ci said solemnly, "I won't marry another nobleman's sister."

The man laughed even more: "The matter is so big, you still want to marry the nobleman's sister if you don't win the lawsuit? How can the nobleman marry you? How dare the nobleman marry you? Are you not afraid of being ridiculed by the world? Xu San Lord, listen to the villain's advice. It's very easy to go to court. If you win, the beautiful wife and concubine don't count, and the Yao family will do whatever you want. If you lose, I'm afraid you won't be able to marry a good wife in this life."

Xu Ci stumbled: "She did it so ruthlessly! She didn't leave half a point behind."

The man said contemptuously: "Can you be more ruthless than your family? Have you left someone behind? Mr. Xu, since you are in the first grade of junior high school, don't blame him for doing fifteenth grade." Xu Ci opened his mouth, not knowing What to say, closed again.The man urged, "Master Xu, let's go! The third master is lucky, it is not easy to gather so many noble people. Thanks to our master's face."

Xu Ci smiled wryly: The State of Qi is more concerned about this matter than himself... Last night he calmed down and read these issues of "Yanjing Weekly" from the beginning, and he already understood: the new and old forces of the State of Yan borrowed Yao's The matter was fought.Now that I have boarded the pirate ship, I am afraid it will be difficult to turn back.Just as he was thinking, the man urged him again.Helpless, Xu Ci bit the bullet and changed his clothes to follow him, as if going to the execution ground.

When he arrived at the Qi State Mansion, Elder Chen smiled and pulled him to sit down, and continued to talk without listening to a word from him.Not long after, the rest of the nobles arrived one after another.All the nobles sat around the hall, Xu Ci stepped forward to pay respects one by one, and discussed behind closed doors.Xu Ci didn't say a word, and the others didn't prepare to let him speak.

This afternoon, Xu Ci went to Jiuxiangzhai to ask to see his master.Chen Ruiqi came out and asked what was the matter.Xu Ci made a bow and said: "Xu Ci, born late, wants to inquire about Zhuojing's whereabouts with Mr. Chen's family."

Chen Ruiqi looked at him in surprise for a long time: "What did you say? Say it again?" Xu Ci said it again.Chen Ruiqi made him laugh angrily, "Mr. Xu thinks I'll tell you?" She couldn't help but order the buddy to beat him out.

The guys all know about this, have met Yao Jiazhen, and all know the name "Xu Ci".Hearing what the owner said, those with brooms, feather dusters, and some people ran to the back kitchen to get rolling pins, and they swarmed up.Xu Ci was so frightened that he ran away, prepared a full stomach and didn't say a word, and let the guys kick him off.The guys laughed.Xu Ci got up and brushed off his clothes, cursing: "Ignorant bastard!"

After thinking for a while, Xu Ci came back again.The guy shouted, "That Xu guy is here again!"

Chen Ruiqi yelled from a distance inside: "Come and hit once, it doesn't matter if you kill me." The guys gathered together, Xu Ci scared away again.The guy roared with laughter.

After a while, he came again and yelled at the door: "Wansheng has something urgent to discuss with her, and please send a letter to Chen Dong's family, and Wansheng will come back tomorrow." He jumped at the door, turned around and ran.The man didn't hit him, and stood at the door and said a few words to take advantage of him.

The next day, Xu Ci found Jiuxiangzhai again.This time, Chen Ruiqi didn't ask to call out, and just ignored her and said, "That lady is very busy. If you really, seriously, have any urgent, urgent, urgent matters, there is a new office outside Donghua Gate. The teahouse is called Baiyun City. You go there at [-]:[-] noon and find a box called 'Tianwai Feixian'. I will count down by dozens, and if you are still in my shop by the count of one, I will call you. Ten, nine, Eight, seven..." The guys gathered again and waited for their boss to finish counting, Xu Ci hurriedly made a bow and ran away, without saying a word from the beginning to the end.

At noon, Xu Ci rushed to the gate of Donghua according to her words, her heart beating like a drum.He really couldn't think of why Yao would choose the teahouse here - the Forbidden City is right next door.Nai found the tea house in Baiyun City, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard two crisp "Welcome~~" two tall girls came up to him.Xu Ci was slightly dissatisfied, thinking that this place was a flower building.Resisting his displeasure, he said: "Shopkeeper, please find a private room for Wansheng."

A girl smiled and said, "Excuse me, sir, do you know the name of the box?"

"Flying Immortals in the Sky."

Another girl said: "Excuse me, the lady who booked the box is a lady named Yao, and the gentleman is named Xu."

"Yes."

The girl nodded: "Mr. Xu, please follow me." Nai led the way.Seeing that the two of them were neither humble nor overbearing, Xu Ci didn't feel like a flower house anymore.The girl said as she walked, "Ms. Yao hasn't arrived yet, Mr. Xu please wait a moment." Xu Ci then waited in the box, and the girl served him a pot of tea and went out.

Because Xu Ci was not familiar with the road at the other end of Donghua Gate, he was anxious and arrived half an hour earlier.After waiting for a long time, I suddenly heard a woman outside the door say: "This is it. Mr. Xu has been waiting for a long time." He quickly raised his head.The door of the room was opened slightly, and Yao Jiazhen stood at the door.Although their eyebrows and eyes were the same, their demeanor was completely different, so they couldn't help being slightly startled.

Yao Jiazhen turned around and said "thank you" to the girl who led the way. He raised his wrist and looked at the door as he entered: "I'm still 3 minutes early. How early is the third master?"

Xu Ci recognized at a glance that she was wearing a western mechanical watch on her wrist.This item was frighteningly expensive, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Where did you get this?"

Yao Jiazhen clarified what he meant, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, I was shopping with Sister Chen, and I went to a seafood shop. Sister Chen said that she congratulated me for being free and gave me a piece. Who knows that the shop is opened by Master Xue Pan and Xue Hou. Coincidentally, Liu Aiyun and everyone there checked the accounts that day, heard us talking, and guessed my identity, so they ordered the clerk not to take money from Sister Chen. Otherwise, she would really have to pay for it."

Xu Ci frowned: "Liu Aiyun is an actor, a man is like a woman, with the same broken sleeve..."

Yao Jiazhen interrupted: "The third master has something urgent."

Xu Ci sighed, and closed his eyes: "Yesterday, the lords from Qi Guo Mansion, Li Guo Mansion, Xiu Guo Mansion, Zhi Guo Mansion, Xiangyang Marquis Mansion, Baoling Marquis Mansion, and Zhongjing Marquis Mansion gathered together to help me with the lawsuit. .”

Yao Jiazhen smiled and said, "What can a group of remnants and defeated generals do?"

Xu Ci frowned: "Even if it is the regent prince himself, it is difficult for him to be the enemy of so many princes."

Yao Jiazhen said: "I heard from Sister Chen that the regent didn't care about these families when he was young. If he doesn't make enemies with them, he will look down on them."

Xu Ci pointed at her and stumbled: "You... When did you become such a temper!"

Yao Jiazhen has been working in the Palace Museum for less than half a month, and he has learned to shrug his shoulders. "It's always been like this. I have to hide it in your house."

Xu Ci choked for a long time, took a few deep breaths, Fang Rou said: "Third Mistress, I have already made up my mind. As a husband, he has his own talent and learning, so why bother with any noble family? I won't marry any princess. "

Yao Jiazhen couldn't help laughing: "You already know that the man is not the prince of Shu? How did you know?"

Xu Ci's face was flushed with embarrassment, and after a while, he lowered his head and said, "As grandma said...the son of Shu Kingdom will not come to Yan Kingdom at this time. Another prince is here. It's not that person." Yao Jiazhen said with a smile at the corner of his mouth.After a while, he said again, "The ancient fan given to me is also a fake."

Yao Jiazhen nodded: "As the saying goes, you will gain wisdom if you suffer from it. The third master will not be easily fooled in the future."

Xu Ci said with emotion: "As the saying goes, the big waves wash away the sand, and it was only when I was born late today that I knew how good the third grandma is. Third grandma, you and I are husband and wife, and I am also a serious matchmaker. , Let others see the joke? If we just reconcile, Wansheng will listen to grandma from now on. What more can I ask for such a good wife and husband."

Yao Jiazhen turned his head slightly to look at him for a long time, and murmured: "What can I ask for such a good wife. It seems that I have heard this before, and I have heard it many times. What else, a free wife is like a treasure, right? .”

Xu Ci smiled and said: "Yes. A family with an idle wife is like a treasure."

Yao Jiazhen sneered and said, "When Master Lingtang locked me in the courtyard, the third master seemed to have forgotten these two words."

Xu Ci hurriedly said: "That was just a misunderstanding, and Wan Sheng didn't know it at all." Yao Jiazhen sighed.Xu Ci hurriedly raised his right hand and said, "If Wansheng deceives grandma, five thunders will strike..."

Yao Jiazhen waved his hand: "You don't have to swear, I believe in this matter. If you don't tell me, I know you don't know."

Xu Ci was pleasantly surprised: "Sure enough, grandma knows me!"

"How can my wife let you know about such dirty things? I know the regent's sister-in-law anyway. If there is something bad or bad in the future, she will be responsible for it and have nothing to do with you." Yao Jiazhen said indifferently, "Ma'am Although she is often confused, she is very sober when it comes to matters related to the three men." There was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth, "The third master is very responsible. I will push all the difficult things to my mother, and you just keep your ears shut. Nothing but the cleanest." Xu Ci was silent.Yao Jiazhen continued, "Do you know that your Xu family's family is in a difficult situation, and all the income is used to buy tea for the four of you? You can't even provide tea for your wife."

Xu Ci was shocked: "Madam's tea can't be served?"

Yao Jiazhen shook his head: "Master, do you know the price of tea? Anyway, you have more than 300 silver per month, which is enough. Why do you need to be so tight that the whole family can't live happily and eat brown rice? You just need to eat less tea. That’s fine. For ordinary people, 20 taels of silver is enough for a year. What’s more, with the rise of industry in the past two years, the prices of daily necessities have been falling.”

Xu Ci was surprised again: "Grandma even knows about the rise of industry? Wansheng really underestimated grandma before."

Yao Jiazhen looked up at him for a long time.Xu Ci didn't know what he said wrong, he was at a loss.Yao Jiazhen sighed and said: "Forget it, I'll say everything I can say. Third Master, if you are still so unwilling to take responsibility, no matter how well written the article is, it will be nothing more than paper. No matter what country it is." Nai stood up and said, "Since the third master has nothing important to do, I'm leaving."

Xu Ci hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Third grandma..."

Yao Jiazhen waved his hand: "Since Lord Lingtang put me under house arrest in the courtyard, I am no longer your third grandma. I'm going back to work. I don't have much free time at noon, and I want to take a nap."

Xu Ci immediately said: "Could it be that the third grandma is working in this teahouse? What are you doing? Why bother to work hard outside? She is supposed to be well-clothed and well-fed..."

"What to do has nothing to do with the third master. I don't have rich clothes and fine food in your mansion." Yao Jiazhen interrupted, "It's okay to tell you. I just work in the Forbidden City and study the Sanskrit classics and Sanskrit utensils in the palace. Therefore That's why I picked this teahouse outside Donghua Gate, which is close to the unit." After speaking, he pushed him away and left.

"Third grandma!" Xu Ci said with tears in his eyes before he had time to be surprised, "One day, one day, one hundred days of kindness. Such a wonderful couple, do they really want to go to court and make the world laugh at them?"

Yao Jiazhen thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, third master. Not only will we not make the world ridicule when we go to court, but we will also leave a name in history." She took two steps, and Xu Ci called out "Jiazhen!" Yao Jiazhen immediately stood up. Living.After a while, he said with tears in his eyes, "This seems to be the first time the third master has called my name in the past three years." Xu Ci called out again.Yao Jiazhen said quietly, "It's really... Interesting. It's a pity that the third master forgot about Bai Rien when he wanted to become the princess." A few steps across the threshold, he suddenly turned around and smiled, "It's okay to tell you. The regent wants to take advantage of us to fight Lawsuit to amend the marriage law.”

Xu Ci was stunned.After a while, he suddenly bowed and said, "Thank you, Grandma, for telling me."

Yao Jiazhen raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't need to thank me. I just want to see those princes, lords, masters and scholars who are fully prepared and exhausted with all their strength, but they still have no way." Then he picked up his feet and walked away.
