The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 76
"This is Brother Zhao Duanhua, the son of Huai'enhou Mansion, and this is the iron map of the Prince's Mansion of Xining County, accompanying the fifth prince."

Mu Yongzheng couldn't help but pulled the two people behind him to introduce them to Jia Cong, "You have only been studying in Nanshufang for one day, and you probably don't know them. Come, let's get to know each other!"

Jia Cong looked at the three people. He had a photographic memory for people. When he was in the south study room on the first day, he basically recognized everyone there, and also learned the details of several people from Xian Ning. Clear.

Even if he doesn't have the ability, he will force himself to do this. Walking in the palace is so thrilling, and he really can't relax at all, as he may lose his life if he is not careful.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Tie, Cong is polite!" After paying homage to his peers, Jia Cong did not say anything, adhering to the principle that if the enemy does not move, I will not move, and planned to act according to the opportunity.

Although the emperor asked him to write the words on the embroidery of the "Tao Te Ching", once after March [-]th, when the embroidery is presented as a birthday gift, his name will become famous all over the world along with those words, but that is just a person. False name.

Gentlemen, who cares about these false names?They all have a sense of extravagant arrogance in their bones. Different from the character and awe-inspiring righteousness that scholars pursue, Jia Cong will naturally not be narcissistic. Because of this matter, these noble disciples who are too high-minded, especially If there is a prince in the palace, he will look at him with admiration.

Seeing the evil intentions hidden under the warm eyes of these people, Jia Cong knew something in his heart.

When Jia Cong looked at them, Mu Yongzheng and others were also thinking about Jia Cong, wondering how this boy could be so calm. Seeing their seniors being so enthusiastic about him, shouldn't they cry with joy and be extremely moved?
Although Jia Cong was polite and not afraid, he was too calm.

Mu Yongzheng cleared his throat, "In this case, when you came to the South Study Room, I should have invited you to dinner a long time ago to show your friendship as a classmate. Who knows, you won the appreciation of the emperor and went to the Daming Palace. We have been waiting for you for several days. , I knew you were coming out today, so I stayed here to wait for you."

"This... I was supposed to invite you brothers, but today is an unfortunate coincidence. I came out of the palace without any money on me." How could Jia Cong just follow these people out casually?
Tie Tu patted his pocket and said, "You are the youngest. We should invite you first. We won't go anywhere else but Shen Yuan. If you don't go, you won't be rewarded!"

Zhao Duanhua said, "Don't worry, we are not bad people. Usually, when Bai Zhou is here, we don't go out for a walk after class on a certain day? You finally came out today. Due to emotions and reasons, we all have to ask you to be stubborn!" "

Now that Geng Baizhou had been pulled out, Jia Cong could no longer refuse, so he had to hold his hands and said, "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful. It is not a coincidence today. I have accepted the hosts of the brothers first. I will invite them back another day."

The palace had already sent word that Jia Cong was coming back at this hour, so Lao Hetou drove a carriage over and waited with He Gui.

As soon as Jia Cong came out, he was blocked by so many noble gentlemen, making it difficult for them to come.

At this time, everyone had dispersed, and Old He came. He Gui couldn't wait to speak, but Jia Cong stopped him, "Follow the carriage in front to Shenyuan first. If you have anything to say, we'll talk to you later!"

Since Lao Hetou and He Gui are still fine, even if things at home are bad, they won't be too bad.

Jia Cong is actually not worried. Although there are a few fools in Ning Rong's second house, the old lady is so shrewd. If she can't even do the most basic assessment of the situation, once Duke Rong Guo dies, Ning Rong's second house may not be what it is today. .

Although, it's not much better now.

Mu Yongzheng's carriage is in front. In terms of status, he is the crown prince of Dong'an County and the grandson of the Dragon King.The carriage of the Zhao family of Huai'enhou Mansion came second, followed by the Prince's Mansion of Xining County, and Jia Cong's carriage fell at the back.

Shen Garden is located next to Guanyin Bridge. It used to be the bachelor's residence of Xu Gao, the former chief minister.

In the tenth year of Wanqing, there was a life-and-death battle between Xu Gao, who was the second assistant, and Han Yi, the first assistant. Xu Gao won. In the tenth year of the reign of King Bing, he was at odds with the crown prince. In the 20th year of Wanqing, the crown prince was After being deposed, Xu Gao was impeached by the imperial censor for collaborating with the enemy and treason, and was arrested and imprisoned by Dongchang. This great scholar's palace had no owner.

At this time, the Grand Scholar's Mansion had changed beyond recognition. The plaque with gold letters on a black background had long been taken down and replaced with an inconspicuous plaque with the words "Chen Yuan" written on it.

The gate was closed, and only the corner doors on both sides were open. The carriage entered through the corner door and stopped at the Yimen. Several sedans were carried over. When Jia Cong and others got off the car, a steward-looking man came to greet him. He was stunned for a moment.

I probably didn’t expect that there would be such a young child visiting the garden.

"What are you looking at? You don't want me to welcome you?" Mu Yongzheng said unhappily.

Seeing that Jia Cong and others were all dressed in fur clothes, and they looked like young masters who could not be offended, the manager put on a smile and said, "It turns out that the prince is here. I am blind and didn't see it. If you forgive me, the prince will forgive me." indivual."

He greeted her warmly and asked with a smile, "Please get on the sedan. Do you prefer small singing, or do you want to order some northern singing?"

Mu Yongzheng smiled mysteriously and asked Jia Cong, "Today I mainly invite you. It depends on what you mean. Do you want to sing as a small singer or as a fan?"

Mu Yongzheng and the other three were regular visitors here, so they naturally understood the rules and only said to the manager, "I want to invite my little brother today, he has the final say!"

Jia Cong didn't know how to be young, he was from the north, but he immediately guessed what kind of place this was. It was definitely not a place to eat private food. He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He was afraid that he was going to make a fool of himself today.

He could find ways to remedy everything else, but this "little thing" was the one he couldn't worry about to any avail.

The steward greeted him, what a smart person, and said hurriedly, "This little singing is divided into north and south. South singing puts on fat and wears skirts, and behaves like a woman; Northern singing pays attention to the body and appearance, delicate appearance, and clever speech, but they are all Authentic male SE."

When the steward said this, Mu Yongzheng and the other two people all looked at Jia Cong intently. If he had even the slightest hint of panic and embarrassment, and would lose his confidence, these people would burst into laughter.

Everyone has a first time. Let me ask you, who would feel calm and not panic at the first time in a place like this?

Jia Cong smiled faintly and said, "So, the fan singing is an authentic womanizer?"

"Exactly!"

Jia Cong then suggested, "Otherwise, let's sing as fans!"

Seeing that Jia Cong had no stage fright, Mu Yongzheng already admired Jia Cong. He put his arms around Jia Cong's shoulders and said, "Little brother, there is a saying that three flats are not as good as one round, and sticking sesame cakes is worse than New Year. You probably haven't experienced it."

Jia Congxin said, I haven't grown up yet, how can I understand it?

"To experience this kind of thing, you still have to go step by step. How about the three big brothers accompany me to experience fan singing this time?"

"Okay, since we are brothers, how can we share the joys and sorrows together?"

Mu Yongzheng set the tone, and Zhao Duanhua and Tietu had nothing to say. "Young man, there are different genres of singing fans. We have them all here, including Datong mother-in-law, Taishan girl, Yangzhou thin horse and Hangzhou boat girl. Which one do you like the most?"

This is another problem!
"What's the difference?" Jia Cong is familiar with "Yangzhou Skinny Horse".

Yangzhou is the gathering place for salt merchants from the Huaihe River and Huaihe River, all of whom are extremely wealthy and live a luxurious life comparable to that of the royal family.

These rich men were willing to spend money on gardens and women. Because the selection criteria were based on beauty and delicacy, and the women they bought were all from poor families, they became "skinny horses."

This is an insulting name, but when it is difficult for people to survive, talking about dignity is a joke.

"This difference is so big that I couldn't finish talking about it for three days and three nights. Each one has its own merits. What are the differences? I've been here many times and experienced them. It's more interesting than the younger ones."

"That makes sense! I have admired you for a long time, but this is my first time seeing you and I don't have any idea. Why don't you three make the decision and let me follow suit." Jia Cong asked Mu Yongzheng to wait for the candidates. He also had knowledge of dealing with people. He had already When you choose to sing as a fan, you can't decide on everything based on personal preference.

"Then let's go to Yangzhou Shou Ma. Speaking of which, I still like the fans singing in the south. They are petite and exquisite, and the soft words they play and sing make people feel comfortable all over!"

Mu Yongzheng made the decision, and the manager asked a few big-bodied women to carry Jia Cong and others into the yard.

Although it is winter, there are still lush trees that do not shed their leaves, and there are dangerous paths, caves, valleys, stone cliffs, flying beams and cliffs on the rockeries. The realm is changeable, just like nature; after turning a corner, there are green pines and cypresses, and pools of water. After a while, behind thousands of green bamboos, a red building appeared.

"We're here, please come down!"

As soon as the sedan came down, there was a tinkling sound of spring water. At the gate, two rows of maids in gauze came out to welcome them. Under the eaves of the corridor, four girls in cloaks lined up to bow down.

Looking up, they are all beauties with eyebrows like crescent moons and skin as thick as gel. Their facial features are all unique, and their every frown and smile are charming and charming.

"Here come the men!" The leader, Yan Feng, took two steps to greet her. She was wearing a Japanese satin-waisted silk jacket, with a red plum pinned to her high bun. She was walking around, her waist swaying, without a trace. There was nothing seductive about it, but there was a bit of teasing in her eyes as she looked at Jia Cong, and she said, "Why did you bring a little brother here today?"

"Why, no? I'm not afraid that my second brother won't be considerate in greeting you. Chang'e's medicine pestle can fit in, and I can't serve him. Why don't you stuff my little brother in there?" Liao Yongzheng He's not too old, but he has no taboos.

"Oh, why do you say such things? Then I have become his mother?" As soon as Yan Feng said this, everyone laughed.

Liao Yongzheng laughed twice and straightened his expression, "You can say that we are good, but he can't. Even though he is young, he is just like us. He has an official status and is not as good as us."

"Please bear with me. We can't help but eat meat and vegetables here. Although I am young, I am still a man. I will be a prime minister in the future. The prime minister can support a boat, but he can't argue with people like us." Yan Feng looked at it. He is the leader.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "You want to be my mother? I do have a father who is a perfect match for you. One day, I will find a way to redeem you from here and be my baby mother. How about that?"

"Then you get the moon first by being near the water and the tower? Boy, I know you are very thoughtful!" Liao Yongzheng said.

"A single sheep is herded, and a group of sheep are herded. My old man is just a silver pewter spearhead. I'm afraid this young lady will be unhappy."

After Jia Cong finished speaking, Yan Feng chuckled, "You really can't tell a person by his appearance. Could this mouth be that of a scholar?"

"Not to mention, my little brother said that Wenquxing descended to earth! Even though he is young, he is now from the eighth-grade Hanlin Academy classics. Do you dare to underestimate him?" Tie Tu's words were inevitably a bit sour.

In the past, the four princes and eight princes were in a group. After the Supreme Emperor abdicated, new nobles rose up. They were caught in a dilemma between the two palaces. They neither dared to betray the Supreme Emperor nor offended the Emperor. Now Jia Cong is at ease between the two palaces. , how can people not be jealous?

"Really, today we sisters are going to admire Wenquxing's style!" At this point, Yan Feng and the other four girls didn't believe it.

"You don't believe it, just watch it!"

After entering the room, a good banquet had been prepared. Mu Yongzheng said to Jia Cong, "Brother, there is a trick here. Choosing a girl does not mean whoever wants to choose first will choose first. If the girls choose We, the younger ones, have the upper hand again. We are hammering nails. If the nails are not strong enough, it is no longer interesting. People have been waiting for us to come. If we can’t get enough of the pleasure of fish and water, aren’t we letting down the beauty?”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Eldest brother is right. I really don't want to use Chang'e's medicine pestle to serve the ladies, so I ask eldest brother to make a charter!"

"It goes without saying that my younger brother is a talented poet. Let's talk about us. Even those two-ranked Jinshi from the Dashun Dynasty and the world-famous Mr. Yuan may not be able to match them. Today we will not show our shame.

Each of us tells a story. The story needs to be elegant, suitable for both men and women, and also easy to understand and funny.After the four of us finished talking, the winner picked first, and the one who said the worst said that the leftovers were his. "

"I'm here again. Are you going to tease us girls again?"

"How can I? Just for fun! Who would be willing to tease you?"

Jia Cong agreed that Zhao Duanhua and Tie Tu were originally Mu Yongzheng's echoes, and they were also very interested in the competition. Without him, it would be too difficult for them to write poetry or tell a dirty joke. Not as good as Jia Cong?

"Let me tell you first!" Mu Yongzheng cleared his throat, Yanfeng picked up the wine glass, took a sip himself, and passed it into Mu Yongzheng's mouth, "You can have some kindness in your mouth and spare us."

Mu Yongzheng couldn't get enough of it, so he took the opportunity to pinch the girl, "Listen to me, I won't tell you a joke!"

Mu Yong was doing it with his hands, "There was a man who had to cross his abdomen. Everyone praised him when he saw it. He also thought he had a beautiful beard. I met Mr. Fengjian and asked him to have a look. The person who met him said that his beard was still a little short. , this person said, my beard has already passed the belly, everyone said it was good, but why did you say it is short? The fortune teller said, if it is longer, it will be in line with the lower part!"

Yan Feng said "Oh" and threw herself into Mu Yongzheng's arms, "You are embarrassing our sisters again by saying this."

This is just a joke!Without these coquettishness, they look boring. These girls are truly interpreters, and they can make people feel comfortable even if they act coquettishly.

"What are you afraid of? There are many things above and below that you have never seen before?"

Jia Cong pursed his lips and smiled, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Zhao Duanhua and Zhao Duanhua laughed for a while, and it was as agreed upon. Zhao Duanhua said, "Third Young Master, let me tell you first, you are ready to brew!"

　The first!
　　From now on it will be the same as before, update in the early morning!
