Brother Jia Sheshu of the Red Chamber

With apprentice Mingye around, the separation of the Xue family naturally ended smoothly.

As a businessman, Xue Bin doesn't trust others at all, not even his children. Most of the property is in his own hands. Over the years, Xue Yan has never mentioned the matter of family separation. Xue Yan's second brother actually asked to separate the family, caught off guard, and Xue Yan really bit off a big piece of meat.

As soon as the matter was over, Xue Yan couldn't wait to take his son who changed his name to Xue Hao to go to Australia to seek gold. In fact, there are seasonal restrictions on going to sea. The elder brother was so talkative, he took Xue Hao away directly.

Xue Bin jumped his feet angrily. What made him even more depressed was that Prince Dun actually counted up the tax evasion account with him for many years. No matter how cleverly Xue Bin explained it, he said that his younger brother should bear half of the tax owed. However, Prince Dun insisted on asking him to pay taxes on the grounds that he was the head of the family at that time.

Ever since, after losing nearly half of his family property, Xue Bin had to pay a large sum of taxes, and suddenly fell ill with distress.

After dealing with Xue's family affairs, Tu Mingye also left immediately. Now, all the officials inside and outside Jinling were all waiting in frustration.

There is no way, when Tu Mingye was a prince in Henan for disaster relief, he was nicknamed Yan Luo because of his cruel methods, which shows his cruelty, but now he has become Prince Dun, helping Emperor Jingrong to collect debts When he was an old minister, he was even more merciless, completely refusing to give people a way out.

Many old officials had thought of selling their old ones and delaying their debts, but Prince Dun mercilessly reprimanded them face to face. His words were so poisonous that they took off the face of many old officials for decades and put them on the ground.It is said that the Supreme Emperor had also talked to Prince Dun in private, but Prince Dun was merciless when facing his father, and almost had a stroke from the anger of the Supreme Emperor.

Even the Supreme Emperor took Prince Dun without a yoke, and Emperor Jing Rong blindly favored him. What could the old officials do, they cried a lot and went back to work.

There is no way, ever since Emperor Jingrong distributed the distribution of mathematics, physics and chemistry, many veterans have been marginalized because of their poor grades in mathematics, physics and chemistry, so everyone dared not beg for bones to threaten the Holy One, and later, everyone did not dare to provoke them. Tu Mingye, be obedient and pay off the debt without mentioning it.

Tu Mingye came here for the sake of Jinshan to help the Xue family split up, but other people don't know that because of Tu Mingye's arrival, the officials in Jinling City rushed to pay back the money, fearing that Prince Dun would catch him and reprimand him. For a while, the magistrate of Jinling was counting money until his hands cramped. He looked at Prince Dun as if he was seeing the God of Wealth, and he was as close as he could be.

Prince Dun visited Jinling in person, and many families in Jinling had some thoughts. After all, Prince Dun's marriage was delayed because he grew up outside the palace. He was dragged down by Emperor Jingrong a while ago, and he has not yet married a wife. It can be said that he is a golden bachelor, so many families have tried their best to get acquainted with Prince Dun, and the most active one is Prince Dun's mother family, the Zhen family.

Although the Zhen family fell out with Concubine Zhen, it does not mean that they have given up on the two princes born by Concubine Zhen. Although the two princes will stop at princes in the future, it is good to have no fish and shrimps. After all, Emperor Jingrong's hobby... Thinking about it, it's not just Xiu Nu, maybe even the family members of Xiu Nu's family have to follow the exam on the spur of the moment that day, and the big families are suspiciously silent.

As a result, most people focused on the princes. Among them, Prince Dun was the most respected by Emperor Jing Rong. This Prince Dun had just arrived in Jinling, and the Zhen family arranged a banquet to invite Prince Dun to honor him. Fearing that Prince Dun would not come, the Zhen family specially invited Prince Sheng to accompany them.

Although the Wang family has fallen, Wang Zisheng has been adopted even more. He is just an ordinary rich man in Jinling City, but he used to be Prince Dun's companion and has a very good friendship with Prince Dun.

Everyone knows that Prince Dun saved Wang Zisheng's life in Beijing. When Wang Zisheng and his younger brother Wang Ziteng competed for the position of head of the royal family, it is said that Prince Dun secretly supported him, which made Wang Zisheng reluctantly compete with his brother. In the last battle, although he still lost in the end, everyone knew that Prince Dun was behind Wang Zisheng, and he didn't dare to provoke the Wang family easily. This allowed Wang Zisheng to be his rich man in Jinling safely.

Tu Mingye didn't want to eat any wine at first, especially the wine from the Zhen family. He still remembered clearly the last time Concubine Zhen drugged him, but when he heard that Wang Zisheng was with him, he was taken aback and asked Said: "That guy... Will Wang Zisheng go?"

Housekeeper Zhen smiled and said: "Naturally, my master specially invited Mr. Wang to accompany him."

The Zhen family invited Wang Zisheng, even if he wanted to come, he dared not refuse.

Housekeeper Zhen paused and said: "My eldest son will also go."

It's also an accompanying reading, so it doesn't make sense that Prince Dun only remembers Wang Zisheng, not his eldest son, right?

Tu Mingye felt slightly displeased, frowned slightly, and responded lightly. He naturally remembered Zhen Yingren, who was also a companion. Compared with Wang Zisheng who was beaten to death by the gentlemen, Zhen Yingren was really very comfortable. That kid likes to put on airs. In comparison, that guy Wang Zisheng is much more interesting.

After Steward Zhen left, Tu Mingye was still looking at the invitation, taking this opportunity to take a good look at these families in Jinling, and meet that guy by the way...

If he could choose, Wang Zisheng would definitely not want to drink any wine, let alone go to drink with Prince Dun, but he couldn't refuse the Zhen family, which was different from their long-lost Wang family. Because of this, the power has declined slightly, but at the moment it is still an official, which is much better than their Wang family, plus the Zhen family's behavior...

Wang Zisheng really didn't dare to say no.

Ever since, Wang Zisheng reluctantly went to drink.

Jinling has excellent mountains and rivers. There are places with excellent scenery and majesty like Zijin Mountain, as well as places with humanistic feelings and beautiful scenery like Qinhuai River and Mochou Lake. The Zhen family occupies a convenient location. There is also a small bridge and flowing water in my own home. The flowing water flows through the pavilion and is accompanied by the elegant lotus fragrance. It is really unique.

The Zhen family held a banquet this time at the Qingfengchi Pavilion with the best scenery, beside the blooming lotus pond, the breeze blows, and the fragrance of lotus is hidden, it is really refreshing, even Tu Mingye's eyebrows and eyes are slightly relieved , apparently in a good mood.

Concubine Zhen's brother, Prince Dun's uncle--- Zhen Xiujian personally greeted Tu Mingye and said, "Your Highness likes this lotus? I have heard from my sister that you often look at the lotus flowers in the palace whenever you are free. The lotus pond can be seen for most of the day."

Although he politely called Tu Mingye His Highness, he called Concubine Zhen his younger sister. If unsympathetic people thought they were brothers and sisters, only those inside knew that since Concubine Zhen tried to kill her son After the fact that Zhen Yingren suffered a catastrophe was revealed, the Zhen family didn't hand over the sign to enter the palace for many years, and the right was regarded as the loss of this sister.

Tu Mingye frowned slightly, obviously he didn't want to hear about Concubine Zhen anymore, seeing how obedient Zhen Xiu was, he immediately followed Tu Mingye's words and closed his mouth, focusing on introducing this Zhen's other courtyard. From time to time, outsiders bring out the relationship between their Zhen family and Tu Mingye.

Tu Mingye was noncommittal, and didn't even bother to respond, even if Zhen Xiujian was so good at dancing, he would be a little helpless when he met someone like Tu Mingye who was not good at it, so he could only wink at him desperately. own son.

But Zhen Yingren seemed to have some shadows towards Tu Mingye, he just pretended not to see his father's eyes, and concentrated on drinking with Wang Zisheng. Although Zhen Xiujian was a little annoyed, thinking about his son's pain every rainy day Legs and feet, after all, that's all.

Zhen Yingren and Wang Zisheng hid in the lower seat, and they pushed each other a cup, as if they really had a good relationship, but they exchanged a look, which seemed to be a bit of sympathy.

There is no way, the three words Tu Mingye have almost become the childhood shadow of the two of them.

Tu Mingye pursed his lips, seeing that Zhen Yingren and Wang Zisheng were both drinking, and the two of them hooked their shoulders together as if they were good brothers. They were a bit displeased, and refused Zhen Xiujian to let him sit in the seat. At this suggestion, he suddenly pulled away the chair next to Wang Zisheng and said, "I'll just sit here."

"This..." Zhen Xiujian was a little dumbfounded, "This is not good."

No matter how you say it is a prince, there is no reason to sit down.

"I think it's good, or..." Tu Mingye looked directly at Wang Zisheng, "Do you still have an opinion?"

Wang Zisheng quickly shook his head like a wave drum, "Don't dare! Don't dare!"

Even if he had any objections, he didn't dare after seeing Tu Mingye's eyes.

Zhen Xiujian also knew about Tu Mingye's little problem from his sister, and said that he wanted to get close to his companion, although it was a bit awkward, but that's all.

It's just that although Tu Mingye is sitting beside Wang Zisheng, he has never said a word to Wang Zisheng, let alone Wang Zisheng, who trembles beside Tu Mingye like something, only knows how to drink, He didn't even dare to take the food, and even Zhen Yingren didn't get there. Although he was sitting upright, his face was pale, as if he had encountered a ghost. Zhen Xiu couldn't bear to see it.

How did the younger sister take care of her nephew back then?Why is Ying Ren afraid of seeing Prince Dun?

Seeing Zhen Xiu coughing a few times, he signaled the old housekeeper to bring the man out as soon as possible. The old housekeeper understood and backed away a little. After a while, the melodious sound of the piano sounded from the other side of the lotus pond.

The person who played the qin must have practiced the qin for many years. Although he was a little nervous, he played each piece in an even and stable manner.

Zhen Xiu smiled and said: "The little girl always likes to play the piano in Wenxiangxuan, but this time I forgot to tell her that there are distinguished guests, so I made a fool of myself."

"Yeah." Tu Mingye agreed, "It's true that he doesn't play very well."

Seeing that the smile on Zhen Xiu's face froze immediately, he turned his head to look at his son, Zhen Yingren nodded helplessly, His Highness Fifth Highness has such a temperament, otherwise Wang Zisheng would have been beaten so badly.

"Haha." Zhen Xiujian said with a dry smile, "Your Highness really loves to joke."

"No!" Tu Mingye glanced innocently at Zhen Xiu and said, "I never joke."

Everyone in the palace knew that Prince Dun was the one who could tell no lies in the palace.

"Haha." Zhen Xiu smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Highness is really humorous."

Zhen Yingren and Wang Zisheng covered their faces silently, no!The fifth prince is not humorous at all, he is so honest that he deserves to be beaten.

And Tu Mingye finally got his EQ online, didn't refute anymore, just looked at Zhen Xiujian silently, but his eyes clearly showed that he was not humorous at all.

Seeing that Zhen Xiu was embarrassed for a while, he was chatted to death by Tu Mingye this day.

"Cough." No matter how embarrassing, Zhen Xiu saw that he hadn't forgotten his purpose, and forced a smile and said, "I asked Yuqing to come over. They are all relatives of my family, so there is no need to see outsiders."

Yuqing is his first daughter, and also his most beloved daughter. She has a beautiful face and beauty, which is definitely not inferior to that of Concubine Zhen when she was favored back then.

"My relatives!?" Tu Mingye pointed directly at Wang Zisheng, "Is this also my relative?"

'This': Wang Zisheng shivered slightly, subconsciously shrinking back.

Zhen Xiu smiled and said, "Zi Sheng is engaged to his nephew's niece, so they are naturally considered relatives."

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have taken the liberty to let his daughter meet a foreigner, even if the trend had already begun.

"Hehe." Tu Mingye narrowed his eyes unkindly, "I'm engaged for a kiss~~~"

Hearing the word "hehe", Wang Zisheng's whole body immediately became hairy. He was drunk, his face flushed and he said angrily: "It's none of your business, don't you want to get engaged too!"

Not to mention that Tu Mingye couldn't see the intentions of Zhen's family, with Zhen Yuqing's appearance, it's no wonder that this guy would follow after him after seeing him.

Thinking of the past, Wang Zisheng's eyes turned red, and he cursed with trembling lips, "Scumbag!"

Tu Mingye: "..."

Tu Mingye directly pushed Wang Zisheng into the lotus pond. There is no way to say this, let him sober up before talking.
