The Red Mansions

Chapter 419 I'm a reckless official

Chapter 419 It's... The official is reckless

Rongguofu

Hearing what Jia Heng said, Jia Zheng turned his eyes to look, with a sad face, and said: "Zi Yu, this evil person has caused such a disaster..."

Jia Heng cut off Jia Zheng's words or "involved me", waved his hands and said: "It's okay, although Baoyu is guilty, but Zhongshun Palace just lost an actor, but he came to Rongfu to question me like a thief. A child of the Jia family is extremely rude!"

If it is the Ningguo Mansion, Shi Nian, the head of Zhongshun Wang Fu, will never come to the door to seek unhappiness because of the past feuds, but the Rong Mansion is different. Even in the original book, when Yuan Chun entered the palace as a concubine, the head of the Wang Fu Shi Nian just pretended to be polite and said " The Zun Mansion is different from other families." Immediately, because of the fault of taking Baoyu, the reason was high-sounding, and the attitude was domineering and flamboyant.

To put it bluntly, you can go to the government to find someone. The Rong Mansion does not have any actors from the Zhongshun Wang Mansion privately. If you come to ask for it, it’s better to talk about it. Needless to say, what is hidden in his heart can only be contempt.

It's also because there are no men in Rongfu who are officials outside, they are not as powerful as others, and their face is worthless.

When Ning Rong and Ning Rong were still alive, the Palace of Zhongshun would never dare to do this!

When Jia Mu heard the words, she was startled, but she also reacted, her face darkened, and she said annoyedly: "Brother Heng is right, this Zhongshun Wangfu didn't go to look for it elsewhere, but came to our house to ask Baoyu, could it be Only our family Baoyu knows the whereabouts of his family's actors? It's just... unreasonable!"

In the end, Jia's mother became more and more harsh.

Thinking that when her husband Dai Shan was around, even the prince would have to give her a little bit of favor in the Jia family. Now that a chief historian is making trouble in the house, is this bullying her that there is no one in the Jia family?

Well, she has Brother Heng in Jia's family.

As soon as these words came out, people in the back hall also had different thoughts.

How should I put it, Jia Heng said a few words, giving Jia Mu a sense of sight.

Jia Heng said: "Old lady, let's go back to have dinner first. The house is really noisy. Let me send him away. Eldest sister and third younger sister help the master go back to rest. Master, there is no need to get so angry. It's not worth anything."

At this time, Yuan Chun heard Jia Heng calling his name, lifted his round and jade-like hibiscus jade face, condensed a cut of Yingying Qiushui, and looked at the young man, tears were falling from his beautiful eyes that were originally about to cry, but his mood was still. down.

As if he had found the backbone all of a sudden, he nodded heavily.

Tanchun on the side didn't cry, the girl's bright eyes were shining brightly, and the sadness on her face became much lighter.

Jia Heng didn't say much else, got up and walked towards the front yard.

As he said before, Mother Jia's place is messy, it's better to go out to get some fresh air, and play with the chief historian of Prince Zhongshun's residence.

Seeing the young man stepping forward, everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay, with indescribably complicated emotions.

Without him, compared to Jia Zheng's appearance of imminent catastrophe when the palace came to seek trouble just now, Jia Heng, on the other hand, lifted the weight lightly, and even felt a little annoyed that his face was brushed off. This kind of perception...

The pillar of the Rongning Second Mansion is nothing more than that.

Baochai's plump and beautiful face also slightly lifted up, and her almond eyes, which were as moist as water, gazed affectionately at the poised young man, her eyes lingering on the clear and sharp face, somehow, It seems like I can never get enough of it.

Suddenly, this beautiful and intelligent girl immediately remembered that the occasion was not right, she quickly lowered her eyes, lest she would be seen by others.

But at this moment, in fact, whether it was Daiyu, Tanchun, or Xiangyun were all thinking about their own concerns, but not many people paid attention to Baochai.

Li Wan frowned, and there was emotion on her elegant and gentle face.

Different from other people, I just think of Jia Heng's words just now, Rongfu Lan Geer and Huan Geer, one piece of paper and one martial arts, outstanding officials and martial arts...

Thinking of the scene where Jia Lan was an official butcher in the future, he felt his delicate body soften and his heart became a little hot.

After Jia Heng finished speaking, he didn't want to stay any longer and turned around to go.

"Yuanyang, hurry up and take a look. After a while, let Brother Heng come over for dinner." Jia Mu hurriedly ordered.

"Hey." Yuanyang quickly responded and left the Rongqing Hall.

When Jia Heng left, Sister Feng persuaded: "Old ancestor, listen to brother Heng, don't be angry. Aunt and wife go and rest. Brother Bao is injured and needs a good rest."

Aunt Xue also persuaded: "Yes, old lady, Brother Heng has already talked about it, it's not worth being so arrogant."

Jia's mother nodded, and looked at the ashen-faced and distraught Jia Zheng, her tone softened a lot: "Zheng'er, you too, go back and rest."

At this moment, Jia Zheng was tossing back and forth, but he felt tired. He sighed, and with the support of his two daughters, he strode out of Rongqing Hall.

Mother Jia, Aunt Xue, and Mrs. Wang came to the front hall of Rongqing Hall again and took their seats one after another.

A group of Yingying and Yanyan sat down again.

Sitting on the Arhat's bed, Mother Jia took the tea from Amber, took a sip, calmed down, and said, "If Brother Heng wasn't here today, I don't know how many disasters would have happened."

At this moment, it is not easy to mention Baoyu anymore, because it is really... There is no way to make it up, so I can only talk about him from left to right, and downplay the bad influence of Baoyu's unscrupulousness in everyone's mind.

Sister Feng nodded her head and said: "What the old lady said is that Brother Heng has done a great job outside, but it can be turned around inside the house. If you think about it, you can understand it wherever you are."

Jia's mother said with emotion: "It's almost the same when the Lord Xiaoguo is here, alas..."

At the end, he let out a long sigh.

But in the flower hall in the front yard, Shi Duan, the head of Prince Zhongshun, was sitting on a nanmu chair, with a sneer on his face at first, waiting for Jia Zheng's message.

But after drinking a cup of tea from the teacup, Jia Zheng still didn't return until the sky was dark, and he couldn't help feeling restless, and his complexion gradually became a little ugly.

This is to hang him?

Just waiting to find a servant to ask questions, he suddenly felt something and stared at him.

Outside the flower hall, I saw a slender young man in a brocade robe embroidered with bamboo patterns, stepping over the threshold and entering the hall.

Because it was against the light, his face was originally covered with frost, and the light was dim, so he looked quite cold and stern.

Zhou Changshi recognized the person, his complexion changed slightly, his heart was full of fear, he stood up abruptly, and said in a startled voice: "Master Jia, you... why are you here?"

Jia Heng looked at Zhou Changshi, and said in a deep voice: "The two mansions of Rongning and Ning used to be one, why can't I be here? Where is Zhou Changshi? What are you here for?"

Zhou Changshi settled his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaodan, who called Qiguan in my palace, escaped from the mansion. The young master who was born with a jade in your mansion has a close relationship with Qiguan'er, so I must know his whereabouts. The official came to inquire, and I would like to ask your son to inform you."

Jia Heng frowned, took a seat on the main seat, and said coldly: "If Zhou Changshi came to look for someone like this, he should just report to the official, there is no need to come here for interrogation."

Zhou Changshi's face changed, and he said bravely, "Lord Jia, the young master of your mansion exchanged sweat towels with Qi Guan. He must know the whereabouts of Qi Guan'er. Please let me know."

Jia Heng sneered, and said: "If you exchange sweat towels, you will know the details? Zhou Changshi, your prince also gave Qi Guan'er a sweat towel, so you can know Qi Guan'er's whereabouts if you think about it?"

Zhou Changshi: "..."

I was angry at first, my face was ashen, and then I felt aggrieved.

Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "He might know, but if you ask rudely, then I might still be looking for this person, so why don't I mobilize the Jingwei regiment now, search the whole city, and search for your lord?" actor?"

Hearing this, Zhou Changshi's heart trembled violently, cold sweat dripped from his back, he said with a stern face, "Jia Jue... Your subordinate has no such intentions."

The Beijing camp raised troops and ransacked the whole city for an actor. I'm afraid the prince would be the first to push him out to top the vat at that time.

Jia Heng said: "Zhou Changshi, since the palace has lost someone, just send people to search for it. If the palace is short of manpower, you can even go to the five cities to report to the military and horse officers for help. How can you go to the door and ask?" Reason? My Rongning Second Mansion, a prince of many generations, would I still hide the fugitive slaves in your mansion?"

Zhou Changshi listened to the scolding, his face was ugly, and his heart was resentful, but he could only temporarily suppress all kinds of resentment, cupped his hands and said: "It's a subordinate... reckless."

At this moment, after bumping into a wall, some separation has already occurred.

Jia Heng said: "Not in a hurry, Da Zhou Changshi just came. When you get back, pass me a message for the prince. The assassination case of the prince of Daxiangguo Temple a few years ago has already begun. It involves the white lotus demon. We are doing our best to track down the culprit, and the Jinyi Mansion will visit the manor tomorrow to inquire, and please ask Prince Zhongshun to elaborate on the details of the assassination that day, in case the court arrests him!"

When Zhou Changshi heard this, his face was ashen, his eyes spit fire, and he knew that this was a counterattack from the boy in front of him, a naked humiliation!

Jia Heng picked up the teacup and said without looking at the person's face, "Come here, see off the guests."

At this time, the servant waiting outside entered the hall, stretched out his hand to invite, and said, "Chou Changshi, please go."

Zhou Changshi's face was blue and red, and he was full of resentment, but he could only cup his hands and said, "Farewell."

Turning around means leaving in despair.

Jia Heng looked at the direction where Zhou Changshi was leaving. At that time, it was dusk and lights were lit everywhere on the corridor eaves, and his heart fell into thought.

The Zhongshun Palace had long regarded him as an old enemy, and it would be meaningless to get used to it, and this time Zhou Changshi was not so much slapping Rongfu in the face, but actually wanted to take the opportunity to slap him in the face. At a loss, or in other words, can be deceived.

At this time, Yuanyang was listening to the exchange of words between the two people in the hall under the eaves, and his heart was slightly shaken. Looking at the young man, his face paused, he stepped into the hall, and said softly: "Master Heng, you haven't finished your meal just now, why don't you eat?" Go back and use some together."

Jia Heng nodded, put down the teacup, and said, "Let's go."

He felt that he needed to take this opportunity to briefly talk with the Rong Mansion about some court affairs, especially to let Sister Feng restrain the servants of the Rong Mansion, otherwise, if he took advantage of the Zhongshun Palace, he would also be passive.

Seeing Jia Heng responding, Yuanyang returned to Rongqing Hall together.

In Honor Hall——

Seeing Yuanyang and Jia Heng approaching, Jia's mother hurriedly called out, "Brother Heng, what did the historian of Prince Zhongshun say?"

Jia Heng wrote lightly: "I didn't say anything, I have already sent away."

Yuanyang said: "Old lady, the uncle will be reprimanded by someone in the future, and he also said that he will ask Jinyi's mansion to come and question him tomorrow."

"This..." Jiamu's complexion changed, and she was uncertain.

Jia Heng glanced at Yuanyang and frowned.

Yuanyang hurriedly stopped talking, her face sullen, she didn't want to say much, she just lowered her eyelids and took a peek at the stern-faced young man.

"Don't listen to the mandarin duck's nonsense, the court dispute is turbulent, and the country's vassal king is even more important, so don't take it lightly." Jia Heng said calmly.

Everyone's expressions changed, for some reason, they all thought of that Nanny Zhen from the Prince Chu's Mansion, who was also reprimanded by the young man in front of him.

What kind of power is this?

Mother Jia thought for a while, and said, "Brother Heng is very rare, you can deal with the outside affairs as you see fit."

Jia Heng sat down again, nodded slightly and said: "The old lady doesn't have to worry too much, by the way, the second master should go back and rest?"

The second half of the sentence was asking Yuan Chun who was sitting quietly beside him.

Yuan Chun said softly, "Brother Heng, I've gone back to rest."

Jia Mu sighed again: "He was really annoyed by the commotion."

Sister Feng comforted: "Grandpa, don't mention this trouble, now the clouds all over the sky have dispersed. Speaking of which, the ancestor didn't eat well, so why don't we use the rice first."

When Jia Mu heard the words, she looked at Yingying and Yanyan who were standing or sitting, and quickly ordered: "Yuanyang, go to the back kitchen to see if the food is ready."

There was a commotion in the middle, and the food was almost tossed cold, and Ping'er had already retreated to the kitchen.

Jia Heng's complexion changed, and he said solemnly: "Old lady, you go eat, I will go back after I say a few words."

He couldn't eat this meal anyway, who knows if there will be any twists and turns, don't follow Jiamu, go hungry for nine meals in three days.

In fact, Daiyu, Tanchun, Xiangyun, Aunt Xue, and Baochai were basically the same. At this time, how could they be in the mood to eat?

As for Mrs. Wang and Yuan Chun, they are almost full, so how can they have any appetite?

Seeing Jia Heng's expression, Jia's mother was surprised, and said in a low voice: "Brother Heng, what do you want to say?"

Feng Wan, Chai Dai, Yuan Tan, and Xiang Yun all looked at the young man.

Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Old lady, you should know that the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion has always been at odds with my Jia Mansion. After this incident, I will definitely hold more grudges towards the Jia Family. Recently, Sister-in-Law Feng has taken good care of the house, and asked the servants to avoid troubles when they are away from home." , As for the children of the family, I will also control them well, if there is anything going on in the family here, find the third younger sister or the eldest sister, and let the two of them find me."

He wasn't worried that Prince Zhongshun's mansion would gong and drum in front of his face, but he was worried about using shady tricks.

Ning's mansion is fine, it's not a big problem if he personally restrains it, but Rongguo's mansion, sometimes he may not be able to take care of it.

It's also time to give these women who don't know their heights and depths in the backyard some sense of crisis, otherwise they may cause some disasters.

Of course, looking back to see if I can find someone to secretly stare at the Zhongshun Palace... This is a confidential matter, but it must be a confidant.

In fact, Prince Zhongshun's mansion was really searching for Jia Heng's black material, but they couldn't find it, and their eyes had already fallen on Rong's mansion.

Aunt Xue's complexion changed, she hesitated for a moment, and said: "Brother Heng is right, the last time the imperial businessman from the House of Internal Affairs came here to find fault, it seems that this palace is targeting us."

Jia Mu sighed, "It's also the grievance of the previous generation."

Sister Feng, Danfeng rolled her eyes, and said softly: "Speaking of which, if Wenlong's original case was caught by the palace, it would be very difficult, right?"

These words were naturally in front of Jia Heng, taking the opportunity to resolve Aunt Xue's knot, not only sold Jia Heng's favor, but also gave Aunt Xue a step down.

When Aunt Xue heard the words, she really thought about it for a moment, sighed, her expression was a little embarrassed, and she said: "No, Pan'er and Bao girl also said the same, saying that Brother Heng had a good idea, I live After a long time, I am not as knowledgeable as the two children when it comes to things outside."

This is obviously Aunt Xue trying to make amends for herself, as for bringing Xue Pan, the intention is self-evident.

Brother Heng, Xue Pan doesn't blame you, you have to treat him kindly.

Baochai narrowed her dewy eyes, and couldn't help looking at the boy again.

In fact, she... never complained about him.

Hearing the two wives of the royal family singing and holding each other, Jia Heng looked calm, but his heart was not very happy. He looked at Jia Mu and said, "Let's go here first."

Mother Jia nodded, but didn't force her to stay any longer.
