Sending away Third Sister You, Jia Cong and others did a little analysis, and borrowed an errand from Lu's house to go to Cui's house, saying that Zhou Xianggong got a fresh snack, which was tested and tasted very good, and invited Brother Cui Ju to eat it dinner.Naturally, Cui Ju couldn't make him suspicious, so he changed his clothes and led a servant away.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Lu Jian's house, someone reported to Jia Cong that Jia Cong came out with a smile to welcome him into the guest courtyard.I saw Shen Zhimo practicing boxing and kicking with the guards in the courtyard, and Liu Zhuang was sitting on the porch wiping his sword.The two sat down in the room, and Cui Ju asked, "Any fresh snacks? Baba called me over. If it's not delicious, I won't agree."

Jia Cong said: "There are no fresh snacks, but I coaxed you. Let's see if that old servant of yours is still following me." Cui Ju was taken aback.Jia Cong tilted his head and looked at him, "Tell me the truth. Did Zhou Lang belong to your family or the old servant?"

Cui Ju smiled: "Sure enough, it fell into your hands." Nai said, "My family sent it."

Jia Cong snorted, "Your father is not kind."

Cui Ju wondered, "How did the prince guess it?"

"In the Cui family, your family is a side branch and the third brother's father-in-law is a direct branch. Your family is sure to lose. The fifth brother and your family are not on the same mind, so there is no way to leverage. If your family wants to win the support of the family, unless there is a strong For example, the court of Qi State, such as me. He sent Zhou Zhoulang to provoke Zhuang Er, just like leaving the note in Lao Wu's study, he wanted us to doubt the green forest power of Shang Qi State. Our ability to follow the clues is so high, maybe even Xie Jing brought your family's heirs together." Jia Cong bared his teeth and said, "You two have kept my identity from that old servant, and you have kept it from me. The identities of Zhimo and Zhuanger are to make them underestimate us and increase our chances of winning. I thought your father was an old white rabbit, but it turned out to be an old fox. Hey, is it easy for me to borrow this knife?"

Cui Ju smiled and cupped his hands and said, "I admire you lately! The prince is the reincarnation of Zhuge."

Jia Cong said: "Since that's the case, why do you want to interfere with us offering a reward to capture Lou Jinqiao? I also told your family my purpose."

Cui Ju said solemnly: "My father has already guessed that the person the prince is looking for has something to do with there. If you make the matter of offering a reward a little more difficult, the prince will definitely pursue it. The prince also said just now that you are good at seeking the source."

"Then why didn't you tell me clearly?"

Cui Ju smiled wryly and said: "There are rules in the clan, and they are very strict."

The corner of Jia Cong's mouth twitched: "Aren't you afraid that I won't notice?"

Cui Ju said: "It's nothing more than that if the prince goes out in person, I have to accept my fate."

Jia Cong snorted and said, "If you don't use your strength and wait for others to help you beat down your opponent, what can you do?"

Cui Ju shook his head and sighed: "The things in our clan... the prince doesn't know."

"I don't know your aristocratic family, but I know humans." Jia Cong said casually, "Humans recognize the strong. If your father is stronger than the father-in-law of the third child, the Cui family will naturally abandon him. Cowardice itself is a shortcoming. Yesterday Those who will make concessions to the clan will also make concessions to outsiders tomorrow." Cui Ju was silent.Jia Cong shrugged, "Okay, you can tell me what play to sing tomorrow."

Cui Ju said dejectedly: "If I say I don't know, will the prince believe me?"

Jia Cong looked at him for a long time, and his expression did not seem to be fake.Can't help being discouraged: "I believe it." He thought for a while, "There is something you have to explain. A while ago, I heard a rumor from a woman in the Cui family that she was going to pick someone to marry to the country of Yan. Who are you targeting. "

Cui Ju glanced outside: "That little brother named Liu."

"Zhuanger?"

"Yes."

"Then, I would like to trouble you to explain again. An important person fell in love with Zhuanger, and the third child wanted to exchange the little opera singer He Chunban who will be on stage tomorrow with me. What happened?"

Cui Ju was pleasantly surprised: "You guys even know this?"

"Yes, I see."

Cui Ju smiled and said, "Our family is the one who wants to marry Brother Liu. There is...an important person who drew a portrait of Brother Liu."

Jia Cong looked up to the sky and rolled his eyes: "Is that important person a man or a woman? Is it King Qi's son, daughter, or the eldest wife and younger wife?"

"If I know, I will tell you."

Jia Cong looked at him a few times: "If you don't want to say it, it's fine. If you don't want to say it, let it go. Tomorrow, Master Lu wants to tell me a story, so he won't go to any drama."

Cui Ju said anxiously: "I really don't know~~ They didn't tell me."

"You don't know, your old man always knows. Your old man doesn't know, but that old servant always knows." Jia Cong said with a fake smile, "I have no interest in being used by others. Besides, there will be an accident in the theater tomorrow. do you know?"

Cui Ju was stunned: "Impossible!"

"Then I'll tell you now." Jia Cong said solemnly, "I've done my calculations. Tomorrow is not an auspicious day. It's a good time to live at home and stay at home. It's not easy to go out to listen to operas, otherwise there will be bloody disasters."

"Impossible." Cui Ju said, "Tomorrow many nobles will go." Jia Cong rolled his eyes.Cui Ju stumbled, "The prince and his sons will all go to see the play tomorrow, how can something happen?"

Jia Cong frowned: "Prince Qi's sons will support the opera together?"

"No. In addition to the prince and son, there is also a big man."

Jia Cong made him confused: "Can you be more straightforward?"

Cui Ju said: "Speaking of which, this matter still came from your country of Yan."

"what?"

"Didn't you Liu Aiyun from Yan State rehearse a new play "Meng Mu's Three Moves"?"

Jia Cong thought for a while: "It seems that there is such a thing."

In order to enrich the lives of the general public and promote positive energy, Liu Aiyun, a gold-lettered sign in the cultural circle of the capital, rehearsed some traditional plays, among which "Meng's mother moved three times".The king of Qi thought it was very good when he heard about it, and said that the opera troupe of the state of Qi can also arrange such plays.Hechun troupe rehearsed a new play, which was the story of the sage Confucius.Tomorrow, King Qi and his son will go, and the other is Kong Yunxian, the eldest son of Duke Yansheng.Cui Ju said: "These three will all go to the theater in white dragon fish costumes tomorrow, so don't let the news out, I'm afraid there will be young people. If you still don't want to go, then that's fine."

"I see." Jia Cong thought for a long time, "I'll think about it."

Cui Ju sighed, "It's up to you." Then he left.

Just as Cui Ju left the courtyard, Shen Zhimo slipped back into the house, and said with a smile, "Is the prince guessing that the 'big man' is the master of the Kong family?"

"Yes." Jia Cong rested his cheeks lazily, "I'm between the emotions of 'people like the Kong family will have a few sexual orientations' and 'No way, it's impossible, it's after Kong Shengren' swing."

Shen Zhimo smiled and said, "What do you think that Kong Yunxian will look like?"

"What does it look like? Isn't it just an old man? Five or sixty years old with gray beard and hair?"

Shen Zhimo clapped his hands: "I knew you would miss it! This one is only thirteen or fourteen years old."

Jia Cong was stunned: "Huh? So young?"

"Yan Shenggong himself is not yet 30 years old." Shen Zhimo said, "Your younger than the prince."

Jia Cong didn't come back to his senses for a long time. "Isn't Yan Shenggong an old man? Why are you so young?"

Shen Zhimo shrugged: "Because the lifespan of Yan Shenggong in all dynasties was not long."

A memory from his previous life suddenly flashed in Jia Cong's mind: "Oh! I remembered." In his previous life, he saw an introduction that the child of Yansheng Gong's family was originally named Yun, because Brother Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty took the stage after he came to power. His brothers were all changed to the generation of Yun, and the children of the Kong family avoided changing their names.Could this Kong Yunxian be one of them?It seems that it was also mentioned that Yan Shenggong hardly lived a long life.Nai Tut Tut said, "I was born to bear huge responsibilities, and I have no right to choose the path. The pressure is huge, no wonder."

Shen Zhimo also raised his cheeks: "My lord, are you going tomorrow?"

"Go." Jia Cong said, "Look at the children of the Kong family."

"Do you know what he did from Qufu?"

Jia Cong was at a loss: "Didn't you listen to the opera?"

Shen Zhimo sighed like a grown-up: "I guess you don't know. My lord, it's the middle of February."

Jia Cong grinned: "I said Little Bell, can you speak Chinese? Or you can speak English."

Shen Zhimo ignored him, turned his head and shouted: "Liu Zhuang Liu Zhuang~~" Liu Zhuang walked in.Shen Zhimo lay on the table and turned to look at him, "Let me ask you, what is the important matter in Qi State in February?"

Liu Zhuang said: "In a few days, February 21 will be the death day of Confucius."

"I'll go!" Jia Cong covered his face, "How do you even remember this?"

Shen Zhimo straightened up: "Why can't the prince even remember this..."

"It's not bad if I can remember my father's birthday." Jia Cong put down his hands, "It's been a few days, and the young master of the Kong family still doesn't go back to worship his ancestors?"

Shen Zhimo said seriously: "Prime Minister Lin told me about this when I came here. She just got the information from the emissary. This year King Qi is going to send a son to Qufu to participate in the sacrifice. In previous years, he sent officials there. I Guess, probably this young master Kong is also involuntary."

Jia Cong thought for a while: "That's right. In the past, it was just a fight between the eldest son and the fifth son. We lost the fifth son as soon as we came, and now a group of princes are rushing to go, and they are about to break their heads."

"Well, heroes see the same thing." Shen Zhimo said, "Are you still going?"

Jia Cong sighed: "I really don't want to go. I don't want to see any princes and sons this time. I don't want to see them."

Liu Zhuang said: "Didn't the lord agree to the wife of the head teacher of Hechun class to save her son?"

"It's easy to save someone..." Jia Cong suddenly thought of something, "Comrades, Third Sister You's son... is singing Zhengdan. What does Mr. Kong's play have to do with Zhengdan? Could it be... ... Zi meets Nanzi? Is it a little dangerous to sing this play in front of Yan Shenggong's son-in-law and the pedantic King Qi? Zhimo, you are very knowledgeable, what do you think?"

Shen Zhimo frowned, and thought for a long time: "There is really nothing that can be used for Zhengdan. Nanzi...it should be Podan."

"Zhengdan also counts." Jia Cong said, "It's a princess of a country and a queen. Hey, I seem to have an idea for this drama."

Liu Zhuang said: "Could it be that the third child is going to cause trouble in the theater and blame us?"

Jia Cong shook his head: "What's the use of relying on us, it's almost the same to rely on Shizi's head." He stood up, "Don't care about him. Prepare people tomorrow. Cui Ju is just the fifth brother-in-law, his The location will not be too close to King Qi. If the third child and the prince get into trouble, let's watch the excitement. I want to see what they can do by getting me involved."

Shen Zhimo said: "I will go too."

"Of course you have to go."

Shen Zhimo blinked and said slyly: "I already have an idea, but I won't tell you."

"Don't talk about pulling down, I don't bother to ask." Jia Cong stretched his waist, "It's going to be lively tomorrow, and it will be even more lively when you get older. Zhimo will write a post for me, and tomorrow I will invite Lu Zhuang to go to the theater together I can't believe they won't let him in at the gate of the theater!"

Shen Zhimo grinned, and seriously wrote a post, and the Tolu family sent them Master Frame.Not long after, the person brought back the original post, and replied with one word: good.

Lu Jia came early the next morning, didn't even eat breakfast, and rubbed against Jia Cong.At three o'clock, Cui Ju personally came to pick Jia Cong up.Jia Cong smiled and pointed at Lu Jia: "Can you take someone with you? This little brother has a thick skin. He just ate my porridge and my snacks, and he still wants to play a show."

Lu Jia also smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Brother Cui, I'm sorry, I also want to join in the fun. How about I be Mr. Zhou's client?"

Cui Ju knew from the appearance of the two of them that if he didn't take Lu Jia to go to Jia Cong, he would take advantage of the situation and "not go", so he had to say: "Since my virtuous brother is free, let's go together."

Jia Cong and Lu framed at the same time: "Thank you Brother Cui!" "Thank you Brother Cui!"

The three of them went out together affectionately, and Lu Jian sent someone to rush to give Lu Jia a new cloak at the door.Nai followed Cui Ju through the streets and alleys to the theater.Jia Cong opened his eyes and saw that the tea sellers at the door, the candied haws, and the peanut melon seeds sellers were all tall and burly.Nai pulled Lu Jia and said in a low voice: "The people of Qi State are really strong. If these small businessmen can serve as soldiers in Yan State. This king is very envious." Lu Jia gave him a white look.

Cui Ju's position is in the official seat of the upper gate, which is a bit off.There are already people in the official seat at the end gate, and they are all standing. Presumably, the son of Prince Qi and the child of the Kong family have not arrived yet.Jia Cong and the others sat idle for a while, and heard the first movement. Many people shouted in low voices, but there was no loud noise. They guessed that the host and guest had arrived.After a while, the jumper came out.

Lu Jia sipped his tea and asked casually: "Brother Cui, what is this new opera about today?"

Cui Ju said: "This is a play newly compiled by a very talented gentleman. I see Nanzi."

"Puff... cough cough cough..." Jia Cong was also drinking tea, choking.It took me half a day to say, "This is really what happened!"

Cui Ju said happily: "Brother Zhou guessed again?"

"Do you still need to guess?" Jia Cong patted his chest, "It's obvious..."

Before he could slow down, there was already a creaking tune outside.Jia Cong was impatient, and was the most impatient to listen to this slow tone, so he couldn't fall asleep.The eyelids were fighting, and suddenly there was a sudden sound of breathing from all around.Looking up, a person has come out on the opposite stage.Wearing a water-green theater gown, she has a slender figure and a gentle demeanor.When Jia Cong looked over, he caught up with the actor who also looked towards the audience, and the two met face to face in the air.Jia Cong couldn't help but also took a breath: My dear!What a beautiful little girl.The eyes seemed to be able to speak, and they answered the words "I'm sorry to see you" seriously.Immediately thought: No, it's not the little girl, shouldn't it be Brother Jiang Jing, the son of Jiang Yuhanyou's third sister?Take a closer look.After watching for a long time, Jia Cong's shoulders slumped: I really can't tell the difference between men and women!
