"Miss Lingling, Sima Xiangru is about to find a fellow dog prisoner." Hong Zhu walked into Cui Lingling's study and whispered this in Cui Lingling's ear.

"Oh, so soon?" Cui Lingling closed the book in her hand, slightly surprised by Sima Xiangru's speed.

"If you are rich, of course you will soon clear the little people in front and catch the big fish!" Hongzhu made some sarcasm, which made Cui Lingling smile, but Hongzhu was a little nervous and asked Cui Lingling what to do next .

"This Sima Xiangru is now secretly pawning the things that the lady gave him, and using the money to clear up the relationship with the palace. Before, he could only make friends with the outer palaces, but this time he sent the money in place, and a guard put him in touch. Yang Deyi, a fellow dog supervisor who was in charge of hunting dogs for Emperor Wu, was said to be able to say a few words in front of Emperor Wu. Potential..." The more Hongzhu spoke, her tone became more dignified, but Cui Lingling smiled and patted Hongzhu's hand after she finished speaking.

"Hongzhu, I know what you are worried about Sima Xiangru. You are worried that Sima Xiangru will gain power and take revenge on Mr. Zhuo and Miss Zhuo. Even in the end, I will be among the people he takes revenge on. Sima Xiangru, he I can see his true nature more clearly than you. He is a Zhongshan wolf, and he must be rampant after he succeeds. You see, since he entered here and we gave him face, he can immediately face Diao Na's previous behavior. With a few concierges, you can get a glimpse of his penny-pinching personality, not to mention others."

"He, as soon as he entered and was treated as the master, he immediately looked for an opportunity to pick on the thorns of those concierges, spoke ill of them to Miss Lingling, and asked Miss Lingling to transfer them to do hard work. The concierge with the most money, he even persuaded Miss Lingling to sell the sales to the coolie!" Cui Lingling mentioned the concierge who made things difficult for Sima Xiangru back then, and Hongzhu thought of what Sima Xiangru did to them, and she felt that Sima Xiangru This kind of Zhongshan wolf is really scary. After he got his wish, he immediately changed his previous attitude of begging for help and took revenge on the person he begged.

"Mr. Zhuo saw Sima Xiangru's true nature earlier than I did, and he has been on guard against him! When he rescued me and let me come to Chang'an to make this design, Sima Xiangru, that is to say, he knew that Sima Xiangru was a vicious The sinister Zhongshan wolf who will avenge his vengeance, the main purpose of asking me to come here is to completely cut off his chance of gaining power, and to dispel your lady's expectations for Sima Xiangru. A Zhongshan wolf like Xiangru will never have the chance to fight wildly!" When Cui Lingling mentioned Xia Xiyan, she brought a lot of admiration and gratitude, because without Xia Xiyan's rescue of her at the beginning, she didn't know that she would die here now. where.

"I was afraid that Sima Xiangru wouldn't be able to match up with the people around Emperor Wu, so I gave him those valuable things so generously. Now that Sima Xiangru is about to match up, it's good. When the dog supervisor is willing to help him , so we can take advantage of this opportunity and make this Sima Xiangru impossible to gain power forever!" Cui Lingling's cold words made Hong Zhu stunned, but Cui Lingling beckoned her to come over and arranged for her to give Keeping an eye on Sima Xiangru's messenger.

"Miss Lingling's idea is good. If it succeeds, no, it will definitely succeed. After it succeeds, it will really be enough for Sima Xiangru to drink a pot, and then we will be able to leave Chang'an and return to X County." Hongzhu listened After Cui Lingling finished speaking, she shouted excitedly, but Cui Lingling froze when she heard that she was returning to X County.

"Brother Changqing, did you have any happy event recently? Let me tell you about it, brother!" In the small courtyard where Sima Xiangru lived in the Cui family, Wang Ji saw Sima Xiangru who seemed to be walking like the wind. If he came back, he couldn't help asking Sima Xiangru with some sourness.

"What kind of happy event can there be!" Sima Xiangru, who was smiling, saw Wang Ji, and his bright and good mood dissipated. Wang Ji flung his face and looked at his back with resentment.

Sima Xiangru, who hated Wang Ji as much as Wang Ji, hammered down the table when he returned to the room to express his resentment that Wang Ji relied on him now.

Wang Ji relied on him, so he had to listen to the words of Cui Lingling, who felt that Wang Ji was ashamed, and came in to live with him. He didn't share a lot of things with him, and he said sour words like a mad dog every day. Block him.

"When I get rich, I'll be the first to kill him!" Sima Xiangru said fiercely, then took out a key from his body, opened a box and took out a few things from it.

"These pawns are worth tens of thousands of guan, but Yang Deyi said at least [-] before he was willing to recommend me to the emperor!" After Sima Xiangru estimated the value of those things, he found that it was less than [-]. It's not enough for the one hundred thousand guan that Yang Deyi wanted, so I'm a little worried.

"It's all Zhuo Wenjun. If she hadn't made such a fuss and took away half of my things, I might be able to collect the [-] yuan now!" Sima Xiangru regretted returning things to Zhuo Wenjun for the sake of face. , and even hated Zhuo Wenjun a little because of the lack of money now.

"Looks like we have to get some money from Lingling!" Sima Xiangru cursed Zhuo Wenjun a few words, then thought of continuing to cheat money from Cui Lingling, "Lingling has been doing this for a few days because of Wang Ji's mangy matter." He didn't ask me to play the piano with her. It seems that I have to be cheeky to meet her tomorrow! Then Yang Deyi only gave me ten days to collect [-] guan. If I can't take it out, I will offend Yang Deyi But it's not good."

Sima Xiangru thought about the plan for the next day, ate a few mouthfuls of cold food, and went to sleep.

On the second day, he brazenly went to see Cui Lingling, but Cui Lingling didn't see her at first, but after seeing him later, Sima Xiangru told Cui Lingling to go shopping because he was bored at home.

Cui Lingling saw that anxious look, but she still let him out.

"Lingling, look, this hairpin and the jade pendant are a pair, just like us..." Sima Xiangru deliberately took Cui Lingling to a jade jewelry store, and when Cui Lingling was looking casually, he picked out a few expensive ones. I want Cui Lingling to buy men's jade ornaments and women's jade ornaments.

It was because of his eagerness that he didn't hide it very much, which made the shopkeeper and other customers show contempt for him, but Sima Xiangru didn't know if he was used to it, or felt that as long as he was valued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and became an official, he would Stains will dissipate with time, so Sima Xiangru ignores those who despise him, and only obsequiously recommends to Cui Lingling what he wants.

Cui Lingling looked at it coldly, and finally bought the cheapest set for Sima Xiangru. Although Sima Xiangru didn't think it was the set he wanted the most, he felt that the value of the final purchase was enough compared to the other items in his hand. With a hundred thousand strings, he happily continued to flatter Cui Lingling, and then returned to Cui's house with Cui Lingling.

***

"Master Yang, this jade pendant is newly bought with a value of 6 guan, and the total value of these items is [-] guan!" Sima Xiangru handed a package of things to Yang Deyi, and Yang Deyi took it to see if it was not the [-] guan he wanted. He was not happy with some items, but Sima Xiangru immediately said that the total price of these items exceeded [-] guan.

"Master Yang gave me three days. I'm a little anxious. I don't have time to exchange these things into money, so I can only honor these things to Master Yang!" Sima Xiangru concealed the fact that these things would be halved when pawned. Raise the price of things.

Yang Deyi saw it, but the total price of these things was 10,000+, so he accepted it with satisfaction, patted Sima Xiangru on the shoulder and said, "Where is the emperor, I will let him see your "Zi Xu Fu". If the emperor likes it, I will push you out, and whether you can win the emperor's favor depends on the literary talent of your "Zi Xu Fu"!"

Yang Deyi didn't say enough, but Sima Xiangru was very confident that his "Zixu Fu" had good things to say about Yang Deyi.

After Yang Deyi returned to the palace, Sima Xiangru seemed to feel that he was going home humming a ditty in one step, and he returned home in a better mood because he didn't meet Wang Ji who fell in love with him along the way.

In the next few days, Sima Xiangru waited excitedly for the news, and became a little perfunctory about whether Cui Lingling's value was about to increase. Cui Lingling didn't care about it, but arranged for Hong Zhu to start packing things quietly.

After four days, Sima Xiangru hadn't received the news that Yang Deyi and Emperor Wu of Han had recommended him, so he couldn't sit still and went to find Yang Deyi, but he didn't expect that when Yang Deyi came out, he didn't tell him about the recommendation, but They called the familiar guards outside the palace, dragged Sima Xiangru to a deserted alley and beat him severely.

"Dog, how dare you plot against you, Master Yang! See if I won't break your leg!" After Yang Deyi yelled at Sima Xiangru angrily, he asked the guards to break Sima Xiangru's leg.

While screaming, Sima Xiangru intermittently asked Yang Deyi why he treated him like this, and Yang Deyi threw the things Sima Xiangru gave him back then on his head, and his head was dripping with blood, so he squatted down on the ground and threw it away. Those things were taken out and smashed into Sima Xiangru's face one by one.

"Use these imitations to fool me, Sima Xiangru, you are the one who treats me as a fool the most among those who ask me to do things! I said why don't you give cash, but take things, it turns out they are all fake, Sima Xiangru For example, if it wasn’t for not wanting to carry the bloody case, I really want to kill you, and it’s fine if you make me lose face because of your fakes, but also make me offend others!” Yang Deyi hated Sima Xiangru to the bone as he spoke, and used Kicked him a few times, and saw the guards broke Sima Xiangru's legs, and then broke Sima Xiangru's mouthful of phlegm, and left with the guards.

Sima Xiangru, whose leg was broken and passed out from injuries all over his body, was left to fend for himself in the alley.

***

When Sima Xiangru woke up in excruciating pain, he crawled back to Cui's house in excruciating pain, but was stopped by the porter.

"Sima Xiangru, you stole something from my Cui family, you still have the face to come back!"

"What did I steal? I don't have a head?" Sima Xiangru lay on the ground and looked up at the porter who was standing there, humiliated, but eager to defend himself.

"You replaced all the precious ornaments in our lady's study with counterfeit ones, so you can enter my lady's study, it's not you who wanted to change them all and stole them! Sima Xiangru, you are still a literati, Hands and feet are so unclean, our lady let you eat and drink for free at Cui's house, and rewarded you with so many things, you still have the face to secretly exchange things at home, you are really a wolf!" The porter shouted loudly, Passers-by all pointed at Sima Xiangru. Sima Xiangru first defended himself, but then thought that the things he gave Yang Deyi seemed to have been changed, so he shouted that someone else had changed the things. People, Sima Xiangru also cleverly thought of Wang Ji, whom he hadn't seen for a few days, and asked Cui Lingling to report to the police to arrest him.

"Miss sees that you and her have met for a while. I don't want to report to the officials to send you to jail. You should stop pushing the matter to others! Get out of our place quickly, or we will throw you out!" The porter didn't care about Sima Xiang. If so, impatiently chase Sima Xiangru away.

Sima Xiangru was really afraid that the concierge would throw him out, so he dragged his broken leg and crawled away. He wanted to go to get medical treatment first, but because he was in a hurry to find Yang Deyi, he didn't bring anything and couldn't afford the medical expenses. It dragged on for a few days before meeting a kind-hearted barefoot doctor who connected his broken leg, but his medical skills were not good enough, and his leg was limped due to poor connection.

"Miss Lingling, what do you do with these things?"

Hongzhu asked Cui Lingling with the same package that Sima Xiangru sent Yang Deyi. Because Cui Lingling had already packed Sima Xiangru and was writing a letter to Xia Xiyan, she asked Cui Lingling to put it away without raising her head. For Xia Xiyan.

"These are all Zhuo Gong's, so naturally they will all be returned to Zhuo Gong! The thousands of pennies that Sima Xiangru spent should be money that made him miserable for the rest of his life! Zhuo Gong probably wouldn't care about these things," Cui Lingling wrote. After finishing the letter, he picked it up to look at it, dried the ink and talked to Hong Zhu.

"Miss Lingling, if that's the case, all the things that the owner gave to Miss Lingling at the beginning, I said to be arranged by Miss Lingling. After this is done, the rest will also belong to Miss Lingling." Hong Zhu heard that Cui Lingling wanted to return all the things. Xia Xiyan just spoke out and told Xia Xiyan's previous arrangements again, Cui Lingling was taken aback for a moment, but she still wanted to return all the money that Xia Xiyan asked her to bring to Chang'an back then.

"Mr. Zhuo has already given me the grace of saving my life and rebuilding my life. Even if Lingling is ungrateful, she can no longer accept Mr. Zhuo's huge sum of money. If Lingling hadn't still had unfulfilled wishes, she would probably return to X County and serve as a slave. Return Zhuogong!" Cui Lingling asked Hongzhu to bring everything back to X county to Xia Xiyan, but Hongzhu refused, so Cui Lingling said these words to her, Hongzhu was in a dilemma, but Cui Lingling insisted, and On the night they left Chang'an, they left quietly with only a small burden.

***

After Xia Xiyan asked for Zhuo Wenjun's opinion, selected a good husband for Zhuo Wenjun, and married him on an auspicious day with the other's family, within a few days, she saw Hongzhu and other domestic slaves who had returned from Chang'an.

"Didn't she come back?" Xia Xiyan looked at the things they brought back and couldn't help but sigh when she didn't see Cui Lingling, "This silly girl!"

"Father, what silly girl?" Zhuo Wenjun led Zhuo Jun in, and asked Xia Xiyan with a smile. Xia Xiyan didn't want to talk to her about Cui Lingling, so she said it was nothing, and then asked her what she was planning to marry How are you getting ready.

In order to train the two sisters Zhuo Wenjun and Zhuo Wenshu's ability to be housekeepers, Xia Xiyan handed over all the preparations for Zhuo Wenjun's marriage to their sisters. She only prepared the dowry list for Zhuo Wenjun and left it alone. It is to bring Zhuo Jun with him and slowly train him to inherit the Zhuo family's family business in the future.

"Father, my sister and I have made arrangements, just wait until he comes to marry me next month!" Zhuo Wenjun was a little shy after speaking, Xia Xiyan knew that she was very satisfied with her new husband, so she was relieved up.
