The Agricultural Tycoon of the Red House

Shui Rong stared at Jia Lian, knowing that the other party was trying to play a scoundrel with him, so he was so angry that he had nothing to say.

"Don't really think I'm a fool, come here! Go and check the stone steps of Baihui Building for me."

The visitor responded and hurried away.

Jia Lian cast a sidelong glance at Shui Rong, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he sat there quietly drinking tea.

Seeing his calm look, Shui Rong felt even angrier in his eyes.As soon as he got angry, he felt a dull pain in the bridge of his nose, forehead, and lower legs, causing him to fall like this, he would never spare Jia Lian!

Shui Rong stared at Jia Lian coldly, and the more he saw his nonchalant attitude, the angrier he became.Shouldn't he run away now?Instead, I sat here with 'good intentions' to accompany him like a normal person. Is it because I have nothing to do with him after I sit down?

Shui Rong lowered his eyes and began to think of a way.Over there, Jia Lian had already drunk his third bowl of tea, as if he had no tea at home.

Jia Lian was really thirsty. Yesterday he ran around Zhuangzi for a day. First, he arranged for the breeding of hybrid rice. Then he went to inspect the plum garden that will bloom and bear fruit today. In the evening, he held a meeting with several Zhuangzi stewards to discuss the next spring. After making the arrangement, I was so tired that I fell asleep directly.In the morning, I went to Zhen Guogong's mansion by car, and it was another matter. I went out after finishing the process. I just went to Baihui Building to check the accounts. The spies sent out said that the water-soluble carriage had arrived.

Time was too tight, he really didn't have time to stop and drink a few sips of water.It is rare to be free now, and it is still in such an elegant place as the Wangfu, and the tea that the Wangfu entertains guests is all high-quality tribute tea, so Jia Lian naturally wants to drink enough.

Just after five cups of tea, the person sent by Shui Rong to investigate came back.

"Go back to the prince, there is no problem."

Shui Rong looked disbelieving, "Isn't there anything painted on it?"

"You guys have checked it carefully. The stone steps are made of stone, and the surface is no different from ordinary stone steps."

This is impossible!Shui Rong refuted this in his heart, but he didn't say anything out of his mouth.He glanced defensively at Jia Lian, who was enjoying his place moistened by the cup of tea, and his eyes became more gloomy.

It's no wonder that Jia Lian has been calm from just now to now. It turns out that Jia Lian had planned a long time ago.

Shui Rong calmed down his emotions, his appearance returned to normal, and he said to Jia Lian, "You are very thoughtful, but even if you ask someone to clean up the stone steps, there will be some stains on my shoes."

After the water-soluble transfer, I asked someone to bring up the shoes I had worn before, and checked the soles, and oil stains were visible on the edges.Shui Rong suddenly remembered that when his face was on the ground, he felt a little slippery and smelled a familiar smell.

The prince, who is usually gentle and dignified, now has gauze wrapped around his forehead and nose, and he stretches his neck to smell the soles of his stinky shoes.

Jia Lian watched coldly, and subconsciously reached out to cover the corners of his raised lips.

"You put lard on the stone steps!?" Shui Rong suddenly realized, with a trace of doubt in his sigh.

Jia Lian: "Huh?"

"You smeared lard on the stone steps!" Shui Rong said in a very affirmative tone this time.

Jia Lian did not deny it, but asked him with a chuckle, "Do you have evidence?"

"You—" Water-soluble thought that Jia Lian might play tricks, but when he really saw Jia Lian's cheating, he couldn't accept it.This fellow has always been strict in his work before, with a good appearance, when did he start playing this trick?

The water melted so much that he lost his shoes, and the shoes rolled on the ground, just touching Jia Lian's feet, "This is the proof."

For Shui Rong's identification, Jia Lian didn't feel threatened at all, instead he seemed to be in a good mood, with a relaxed look on his face.He raised his phoenix eyes, hooked the corners of his mouth, with an attitude of 'I'm proud of what you can do to me'.

What does he mean?

Shui Rong was a little excited, he was puzzled at first, but after thinking about it, he suddenly understood.The other party can quibble that the sticky thing on his shoe was scratched elsewhere.Although he is a prince, it is impossible for him to step on lard wherever he wears his shoes, but there is no evidence to rule out this possibility.

It is not feasible to deal with Jia Lian just by rubbing lard on his body.

The key is still the stone steps of Baihui Building, but they have been cleaned, and the iron evidence is gone!

Shui Rong hated himself for being slow to react, when he fell down, he should have sent the people from the yamen to collect evidence immediately.Even if this move can't defeat Jia Lian, but yours will make Jia Lian a bad impression in front of the emperor.At that time, Jia Lian may not continue to be favored by the emperor as he is now.

Shui Rong gritted his teeth in hatred, the feeling of being framed but powerless was too uncomfortable.

"My lord accidentally fell down at the door of my Baihui building. As usual, I came to take a look. I have done my due 'concern'. It's almost time, so I'll take my leave first?" Jia Lian got up symbolically Di Chong Shui Rong bowed his hands, he didn't leave immediately, but leaned towards Shui Rong with a smile on his face, and whispered into his left ear, "Take care of it well, don't damage the most important thing, otherwise your perverted habit will be destroyed." Wouldn't it be hard to quit?"

"You—" Shui Rong couldn't help moving his body, he really wanted to slap Jia Lian to death.

Jia Lian just smiled at this time, his face was clear and radiant.The young man Lang Lang had a careless and complacent look on his face, which was already very charming, and coupled with his status as a noble prince, he was naturally so fascinated that the maids in the room blushed.

When Grandpa Guo left, there was a gust of wind blowing gently, and even the air was restless.The maids have an indescribably friendly smell, as if there is a faint fragrance of rice, and they can't help but be infatuated for a moment.

"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you help me to lie down!" Shui Rong suddenly yelled at them with a red face.

……

The emperor didn't see Jia Lian coming to see him today, and felt a little strange. After asking, he found out that Jia Lian was not feeling well and was recuperating at home.

"Spring is coming, and this kid will be busy, so he should pay attention to his health, and you will remind him later." The emperor sighed twice, and instructed Jing Yingguang and Lin Ruhai.

Jing Yingguang: "I've known him for so long, but I've never heard of him being ill."

Lin Ruhai hurriedly agreed, with a somewhat puzzled tone, "I saw him yesterday, and he is in good health. This time, I heard that he ate something bad and had a stomachache."

The emperor looked at them.

Jing Yingguang continued to ask: "I heard that the King of Beijing accidentally fell at the gate of Baihui Building yesterday, but did he get angry because of this?"

"I don't know if he got angry, but he has a stomachache. After returning from Beijing Palace, I heard that his stomach has never been safe." Lin Ruhai continued to explain carefully.

A good person, after returning from the Beijing Palace, he started to have a stomachache! ?

The emperor frowned and thought about it carefully, feeling quite strange.Then there was the matter that King Jing of Beijing fell at the gate of Baihui Building, and he had long felt that something was wrong.A good person, when he climbed up the stairs, how could he walk carelessly like that, falling over and over again.And he couldn't fall anywhere, but he fell at the gate of Jia Lian's Baihui Building, and it was such a coincidence that Jia Lian was in Baihui Building at that time.The King of Beijing and Jia Lian had never dealt with each other. The emperor didn't believe that Jia Lian would conspire with the King of Beijing. On the contrary, he felt that the King of Beijing was plotting against Jia Lian.

Considering that the other party was the stubborn Jia Lian, the emperor decided that the problem was Shui Rong.As soon as the eldest prince's matter subsided, he went to Jia Lian restlessly.You deliberately fell down at someone's door, what's your intention?Wanting to make Jia Lian feel guilty?Does he have something in Jia Lian's hands?

The emperor thought about it, and only the eldest prince suddenly mentioned the matter of water-soluble weeds killing women.

"...The boss denied it shortly after he confessed, which is very suspicious. Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Jing Yingguang pretended to be confused and said: "The eldest prince said that he only wanted to drag King Beijing into the water because he felt unwilling for a while, but he later came to his senses."

"Hmph, do you believe what he says? He will suddenly deny what he said! Speaking of which, the kid Shui Rong used to have a very good relationship with the boss, since he was a child."

The emperor frowned when he thought of his identity as the empress dowager's nephew.He pampered Shui Rong a lot, and it was also because of his filial piety and consideration of the Queen Mother.And when it comes to the matter of the First Prince, he really behaved as if he had killed his "confidant" righteously.

True or false, now it is really difficult to tell.

Emperor: "Shui Rong has indeed shown his loyalty when it comes to the eldest prince's affairs. Otherwise, he only needs to tell the boss, and the boss will not rebel. When Shui Rong is the number one think tank by his side, he will definitely be more prosperous than he is now, but he He chose me, and he can learn from his heart."

Jing Yingguang snorted indiscriminately, pretending to agree.Regarding the true face of Shui Rong, the emperor probably still didn't see clearly.This young man is difficult, treacherous, and difficult to understand.

"However, you'd better send someone to investigate the things that Yin Qi said about Shui Rong, it's better to be fake, if it's true, even the emperor's relatives won't let him live!" the emperor sternly said.

Jing Yingguang agreed.

The emperor glanced at Lin Ruhai and asked him to help with the investigation, but only if Jia Lian couldn't know about it.

Lin Ruhai naturally agreed and did not dare to make mistakes.

Beijing Palace.

Shui Rong also heard about Jia Lian's tummy trouble, and was so angry that he threw his teacup.It's not enough for this guy to make him look ugly, he also made him feel sick and unable to go to court as soon as he left the palace.He finally understood that the purpose of Jia Lian's calculation of his fall was not only to make him look ugly, but also to attract the emperor's attention to him.

Just as the matter of the eldest prince was suppressed, and he received attention again, that matter would definitely be revealed.If the emperor really investigates, no one knows how far it will be investigated.Who can guarantee that after each incident, it can be wiped clean?If the other party really investigates carefully, there will always be a tell.

Fortunately, he was able to meet the eldest prince that day, tried his best to persuade him, and finally convinced the eldest prince that his betrayal was out of preserving his strength, so as to help him make a comeback in the future.

I thought that once the eldest prince left, this matter would be over like this, but I didn't expect that Jia Lian would trick me into a 'fall'.

Shui Rong felt a fire in his heart, wishing he could burn up the whole world right now.He hated himself even more because his face was bruised and he couldn't enter the palace to see the queen mother.His disfigured face due to "self-slip" will not heal within a month or two, that is to say, he will not be able to enter the palace during this period of time.He is most afraid that changes will happen in such a long period of time.It is not impossible to forcefully enter the palace at this moment, but it will definitely arouse the emperor's suspicion.

So even if Shui Rong doesn't want it in every possible way, he can only choose to stay in the mansion honestly, willing to suffer.

At this time, there was also someone who was suffering in the mansion just like Shui Rong, and that was Jia Zheng who was temporarily residing in the Rong Mansion.

When Jia Zheng returned to the Rong Mansion, he brought with him six servants, eight maids, eight second-class maids, ten coarse envoys, and Aunt Zhou who was not bad in appearance. Six maidservants, this is already too frugal.

Jia Zheng thought that these people would be enough to serve them, but he didn't expect that the first problem he faced after entering the mansion was the lack of food and cooks.I also brought less bedding and so on. Now that it is cold in the spring and the house is cold, I need to prepare some carbon, otherwise his body that is approaching old age will not be able to bear it.

Jia Zheng never asked about mundane affairs, and he never carried any money with him. The valet in his valet held the few taels of salary he had left before, and now it was almost gone.In the past, when going out to socialize or something, just send someone to the cashier to pay the money.But this time when he left, he made trouble with Jiamu and Dafang, so naturally he had no face to send someone to ask for money.

Now that he has moved into the Rong Mansion, he is even more ashamed to ask someone to go back to the Zhenguo Mansion to ask for it.Jia Zheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and pawn off his belongings, such as tiaras, jade pendants, and ancient fans, to exchange for money.Because it is an urgent sale, it can only be sold at a normal price, and it cannot be exchanged for much silver, at most a few hundred.In addition, Jia Zheng himself is a person who eats and wears exquisite habits. The things he imports must be the best and cleanest, and he must be decent when he goes out to socialize. ...
