Chapter 77： Robbery (catch insects)

At the end of March, in the study of Pingyuan Hou Mansion, after Ping Yuan Hou was sitting at the bookcase, Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng stood aside with serious expressions, and Master Song whispered: "Five days ago, there were two chariots in the capital. After passing the money with the prince’s men, a total of forty-seven carriages departed from Yuncheng, three hundred miles to the north. Our first batch of more than fifty men and horses left that night. One carriage of weapons was scrapped in the armory, and it was out of the city yesterday. , Our people have followed. One of the prince’s staff members took luggage and left this morning, and our people followed."

Ping Yuan Hou squinted: "You set off tonight, and fifty people should be enough. The place of the ambush has been decided."

Master Song said in a low voice, "Since we knew it was Yuncheng, it was easy. There are a few brothers who are from the vicinity and are very familiar with the terrain. We found a mountainous area close to Lianghu to start. From There they drove the car to Lianghu, transported the grain to the boat, and then drove the car to the east, selling the car along the way, but rode the animals to the south."

Ping Yuan Hou recognized, turned his head and said to Zhang Yunzheng: "You are ready"

Zhang Yunzheng said unhappily: "Of course!"

Ping Yuanhou frowned: "Don't talk back! Go out and listen to Master Song!"

Zhang Yunzheng snorted.

Zhang Yunming smiled and said to Master Song: "Master Song, you must be a stupid bandit, and you must be very kind and don't want to kill people..."

Zhang Yunzheng glared at him: "I have arranged everything!"

Master Song nodded and said: "We have kept in mind: stupid bandits, don't like killing people, timid and fearful, but luckily, they robbed the convoy."

Ping Yuanhou turned the jade ball and said: "You all come back well, it's best not to lose a single soldier."

Master Song clasped his fists: "I would like to follow the general's instructions." Zhang Yunzheng also saluted goodbye.

Ping Yuan Hou nodded, Zhang Yunzheng and Master Song left together, and Zhang Yunming followed them out.

Zhang Yunming walked next to Zhang Yunzheng and whispered: "You have to be careful. You don't have immediate kung fu, only fist and light work. Just watch by the side, come up with ideas, don't do it yourself..."

Zhang Yunzheng was impatient: "You don't care about me!"

Zhang Yunming cut his voice: "I'm too lazy to care about you! Don't ask me to help you take care of you next time!"

Zhang Yunzheng made a fist, and the two brothers spoke at the same time: "I want to fight!"

Master Song smiled: "Okay, okay! Stop making trouble, go and say goodbye to your wife, we have to go."

When Zhang Yunzheng went to see Li, he only said that he was going to run business with others. Lee pulled Zhang Yunzheng's sleeve and told: "You have to take care of yourself, don't eat with dirty hands, and cover your stomach when you sleep... …"

Zhang Yunzheng frowned, reluctantly. Zhang Yunming watched, and said to Li's family: "Mother, you can beat him up!"

The way Li was about to cry: "How can I be willing to..."

Zhang Yunming said politely: "I'll hit him, I'm willing!"

Zhang Yunzheng stared, and Li said hurriedly: "You go early and return early, don't worry my mother!"

Zhang Yunzheng hummed in response.

Zhang Yunzheng and Zhang Yunming came out and handed Zhang Yunming a note, saying: "Go and put it in the room over there."

Zhang Yunming curled his lips and said, "I just said that I won't help you!"

Zhang Yunzheng said: "Then I will fight with those people!"

Zhang Yunming sighed: "You'll bully me! We didn't talk to her two days ago and say we are going to leave soon. What else to give away"

Zhang Yunzheng stared: "But I didn't say which day it was! She said that if the day does not pass, she will leave a note!"

Zhang Yunming said: "If I give you a note, you have to leave me the beautiful cuckoo, the little cuckoo by your side."

Zhang Yunzheng squinted: "What are you doing!"

Zhang Yunming said: "Spare! I have to go fishing for the people from Changle Houjia House. Apart from others in that house, the princes are more lustful than the other."

Zhang Yunzheng said: "Okay! His appearance is indeed not suitable for being a bandit."

Zhang Yunming then took the note and opened it up: "You shouldn't leave a note saying that you are going to be a bandit."

Zhang Yunzheng threw a fist: "You are so stupid!"

Zhang Yunming saw that there was a cart loaded with goods drawn on the note, but there was no horse, and he smiled and said, "This is quite reasonable. The cart can't go anywhere."

Zhang Yunzheng rolled his eyes: "You know what horse is very difficult to draw, and it is easy to draw particularly ugly! Time is in a hurry, I will not draw."

Zhang Yunming shook his head at Zhang Yunzheng: "I really want to beat you!"

Zhang Yunzheng raised his eyebrows: "You hit it! Who is afraid of you!"...

The two eventually did not fight. Zhang Yunzheng and Master Song left Pingyuan Hou Mansion in the afternoon, out of the city, and arrived at one of Li's Zhuangzi. That night, he changed into a peasant outfit, quietly left Zhuangzi in batches with more than fifty people, and headed north.

When Shen Wen arrived at the courtyard at night, it was dark inside. Shen Wen went into the room to light the lamp and found a note under the lamp. She knew it was Zhang Yunzheng's brushstrokes at a glance, indicating that he was going to rob food, and Zhang Yunming would not come alone to get along with Shen Wen. According to calculations, Shen Wen knew that Zhang Yunzheng's trip would take more than ten days to reach the location of the robbery. When the matter was over, the group would disperse into several routes and circle the great distance back to the capital. In this case, he did not come back for a month or two, and the originally quiet night suddenly became more silent.

Shen Wen entered the secret room and began to draw sketches of various weapons and terrain organs. There is a pure gold feng shui compass brought by Zhang Yunzheng. The paper and pens used are all carefully purchased by Zhang Yunzheng. Even the lamp oil is extremely precious, smokeless and bright... There are traces of Zhang Yunzheng everywhere, but he is not here, so she always has to pay attention The surrounding movement should not only prevent people from approaching the courtyard, but also listen to the drums so as not to miss the time to return. She was keenly aware of a subtle sense of loss in her heart, which made her very vigilant.

She just raised the banner of "I don't want" a while ago, and she felt relieved. Why did she hang up again? Zhang Yunzheng was short-tempered, poisonous and rude. It was not her usual favorite, but it made her feel safe and secure. Trust, he left, she missed him! Shen Wen was very unwilling! Fortunately, she has too many things to do now, and she doesn't have too much effort to entangle this problem. She can only think to herself: "I don't want it, I don't want it", while letting it go, take it step by step.

-----------------------------------------

Zhang Yunzheng, who went to work as a temporary bandit to rob food, even thought of Shen Wen when she left the capital: I don’t know if she went to the courtyard, she would see the note, but she would feel that it would be a big loss without herself to help draw pictures and watch the time... The closer the place, the more excited, and gradually changed his mind.

He followed Master Song and his gang for nearly twenty days northward, and arrived at a hilly area. Master Song pointed to him on a high ground: "This place is full of hills. Only this road can be used for horse-drawn carriages, and they can't run."

Zhang Yunzheng kept his face straight, tried his best to be mature, carefully observed the surrounding terrain, nodded and said, "Very good, just do it here."

Master Song smiled and said: "A single sentence of burning grain will choke the opponent's death hole. There shouldn't be any difficulties, it's considered military training."

Shen Wen's face flashed in Zhang Yunzheng's heart. He didn't want to mess up, so he immediately turned his head and said to the big-waisted rose behind him: "You should memorize everything you should remember! Don't be lazy!"

The rose sighed: "I miss lilac! He can cooperate with me, give me a word, and pretend to be my daughter-in-law..."

Zhang Yunzheng interrupted and said, "You don't need a wife! You just need to be very stupid! Don't show a little cleverness!"

The Chinese rose repeatedly said: "Okay, it's definitely done. It's easy to be clever, but it's not easy to pretend to be stupid."

Zhang Yunzheng said: "Don't be careless! It's not easy to pretend to be stupid!" The little girl ghost was so full of calculations that she pretended to be stupid and fooled everyone! Little liar! A smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Yunzheng's mouth, and no one else noticed it.

A few days later, a long line of carriages, under the banner of the largest **** in the capital, came slowly along the road. Daotou was particularly alert when he saw the surrounding terrain, and just yelled: "Be careful, everyone..." He saw a few people stumbling in front of him and shouting: "There are robbers! There are robbers!"

The dart head pulled out a big knife to block these people, not letting them approach the convoy, and asked, "What robber!"

The few people who came running looked like civilians, and one of them bent over and gasped in front of him: "Actually, those people just want money and don't dare to hurt others. We can't beat them. You have so many darts and them. Just hit it!" After finishing speaking, he fell dejected and said to the person behind him: "We are unlucky, let's go." Several people walked far away against the road. Biaotou saw that they were not in sight, and his heart didn't seem to be here to rob, he was telling the truth.

Dart head loosened his heart. Robbery is a matter of daring and scaring the timid to death. Those robbers dare not hurt people, but we dare! If someone wants to rob, kill two people and stop them. So he said loudly, "Listen, everyone! There are robbers ahead, so don't dare to hurt people. If we meet, we will beat them to death!" Everyone yelled at the same time, and their voices echoed in the forest.

The convoy continued to move forward and walked for a mile or two. Sure enough, a large number of people rushed out of the forest. They were all dressed up as farmers, with gray-headed faces, waving their picks and picks and shouting, "Leave the car!" "Grab!" !"...Pure native dialect!

Darthead felt somewhat underestimated because of the people in front of him, and shouted with a broad knife, "Brothers, kill them! Show them something good!"

After speaking, he took a few people and left the road to greet him. When fighting against a few farmers, the **** fell to the ground as soon as the knife touched each other's hoe. The "farmer" was obviously very strong, but he seemed very timid. He turned his head and ran away, shouting loudly: " Run away first! Come back tonight!" The accent was so soiled that people got goose bumps. The guards of the Escort Bureau laughed, if they knew that this person's name was Rose, they would probably laugh even harder.

Dartou also shouted: "Brothers, don't let them all run away! Take a few offenses! Be a hostage!"

A few more people ran over, and only half of the team guarded.

These people just ran after the farmer for a few steps, and they fell into the deep pit of the two with a thud. The air was dusty, and it made people dizzy if they inhaled it. Before they could jump out, the farmers who ran back quickly turned back. A dozen people smashed rocks into the pit at the same time, really knocking them out.

The people guarding the convoy saw the figure of the chasing person swaying, and they knew that they had been caught in the trap when they got into the ground. They were busy guarding around the food truck, and no one dared to chase it anymore.

The farmers fished out all the seven or eight people who had fallen into the trap, tied them firmly, and dragged them over to "negotiate." The rose begged: "My dears, we really have no way to survive! The crops are confiscated, there are young and old at home, and everyone is human. Leave the truck or something to us. We don't hurt our lives."

The head of the dart is in the hands of the opponent, and the people in the dart board are afraid to do it. Only the staff of the prince yells: "Go! Can't give them anything! We paid the money, you go up and fight!"

Several thugs from the **** came slowly, dancing with swords in their hands.

The rose said sadly: "If you don't give us a way to survive, then we have to break his leg." He pointed to the dart head and said, "Guys, hit his leg with a big rock..."

The dizzy dart head yelled: "No, don't!" The subordinate of the dart head who has no legs is naturally his brother, so he won't do anything at this time.

The rose cried again: "Master, do it! I really can't help it." The wailing was moving.

The prince’s staff stomped: “If you don’t fight, I’ll tell people, you **** the robbers!”

Generally speaking, the Escort and the bandits in the arena have some friendships, and they use some silver to open the way, and the two sides have a tacit understanding of each other.

Biaotou hurriedly turned his face to the rose and said, "Which sacred brother is the brother offended. We can discuss how much the brother wants!"

The rose shook his head and said: "We are not sacred, just want to have a bowl of rice to eat. If you don't give me anything, if we can't live, then everyone will suffer." He discussed with many farmers and said: "They don't want to give me anything, so just burn their car."

The farmers yelled in unison: "Yeah! They ran away after lighting the fire! We can still grab some mules and horses!" Everyone started to pierce the torch, and someone hit the flint on the ground. The prince’s staff was anxious: "What! You want to burn the car!"

The rose said angrily: "If you don't burn it, you don't give it to me!"

The torch was lit, and as soon as the rose waved, a few people threw the torch into the convoy, and the prince’s staff shouted: "Stop! Stop!"

If these grains are robbed, they will report to the officials immediately, and there may be a glimmer of hope of retaking it, but if it burns, there is no hope at all. It is a disaster year, and grains are extremely precious, and it is not easy to raise them, but they cannot be burned.

The prince’s staff said loudly: "You can't burn it! That's food!"

When the rose heard it, she yelled like crazy: "Guys, that's food!"

The farmers shouted loudly at the same time and ran over together, unstoppable! Only then did the prince’s staff realize that he had said the wrong thing: How can we provide food in a disaster year? Negotiations should be held to leave some for the other party and let the other party let go. It's late now!

Crazy "farmers" swarmed up, hungry tigers rushing to catch the coachman and the rest of the fistfuls of the car, all in a desperate posture of the country folks. People who know martial arts are also hard to beat with four hands at this time, not to mention that their head is still in the hands of others. At this time, someone holding a **** and waving on his head is yelling in fright. People's many picks and picks can be done in a few strokes.

Not long after, the people in the original convoy were all **** and strong. Several farmers opened their pockets. Seeing that it was really food, "weeping with joy"! Some people still "cry their heads and cry"!

The rose wailed for a long while, wiped away the tears choked by the **** juice in the sleeves, and said to a group of people who were tied up: "We have to thank you uncles! This food can save a lot of people's lives. I want to blame everyone. Don’t blame us."

The farmers gagged all the people who tied their limbs, dragged them to the vicinity of the original sinkhole, and threw them in. These talents discovered that this place has dug pits, more than 30 in size, how stupid these farmers are! With so many of them, they rushed over, and they were able to **** the carts and horses. How could they still dig so many holes!

These people are still wondering that these robbers are making so much noise on the road, but there are no pedestrians from the north to the south. They didn't know the north-south direction. There were "fleeing" merchants, telling everyone that "there are robbers ahead!" They just told other people that these "merchants" didn't say that these robbers didn't hurt lives. Pedestrians are no longer leaving, and only when there are more people walking with them, do they start the journey together.

The "farmers" put withered branches on the pit, got into the carriage, and drove away. I galloped along the road for two days and one night. At night, I arrived at a pier in Lianghu and unloaded all the food and iron packages from the car on the boat. Car, but left horses or mules. The robbers in this team were getting fewer and fewer, until they disappeared completely one day.

The boats on the lake left the shore overnight, and one night three days later, they berthed beside the other shore of the lake. A dozen horse-drawn carriages came, and after a few nights, the grains were unloaded and sent to the brewery.

The people trapped in the pit struggled for a long time before someone broke free of the rope. Shouting for help, but this area is very desolate, it is late, and there are no travellers on the road. These people had just been robbed, so they didn't dare to walk at night, so they had to wait until the next day. The next day, these people walked for a whole day before reaching a county seat. They went to the yamen to report the case, and waited until the yamen came out to check, another day later, where was the shadow of the carriage asking passers-by to chase them down, at most they found a few cars, the grain and iron on the car, and those The robbers and farmers have long since disappeared.

-------------------------------------------------- -

Lilac, who was talked about by the rose, the young man now named Zhang Ding complained to Wang Zhi sadly at the border: "The weather here is so terrible! It's been a few months now, and it's still so cold! Spring is almost in Beijing, it's almost into summer." Come on, why did the snowflakes float here last night"

Wang Zhi snorted: "How can there be good weather in such a place where dogs don't shit, you are so stupid, you just leave a good capital and don't wait, come here to suffer!"

Zhang Ding shook his head: "The capital can't stay, otherwise my hands and feet may be chopped off. But I should go south at the time. The weather over there will definitely be better than this."

Wang Zhi sighed: "It's too late to say this now. Why did the second son always let you accompany you wherever you go these days?"

Zhang Ding sighed: "This master is just walking around outside the city endlessly. I don't know what to see in those stone mountains. My neck shrank for a day and didn't dare to straighten it out. I'm about to become a bastard. "

Wang Zhi laughed: "Where does anyone say that they are the bastard?" After finishing speaking, I felt a little uncomfortable: Xia Zi looks good, and she left by herself. She won't be obedient to women.

Zhang Ding said: "Actually, I shouldn't complain too much, at least I didn't follow the old man. The old man always went to the hardest place to stay with the soldiers. I really don't know what he is doing."

Wang Zhi asked: "I heard that the eldest son has his own guard. He went to those places to pick people."

Zhang Ding shook his head: "I heard the second son said that the eldest son is just picking whoever is poor. There are orphans, young children, and patients in the family. If you ask him, he will be placed in his guard. Now. My heart is too soft!"

Wang Zhi sneered and said, "It's just to invite people to buy people's hearts. After saving those people, those people will not give up to protect him."

Zhang Ding nodded repeatedly, so as not to reveal his true opinion, and said: "In fact, it is not good to do this. Those people are so incapable of putting on the stage, they are not good at it, and they can't do it even if they want to save him."

Wang Zhi said in contempt: "So don't think those princes are superior, they are actually quite stupid."

Zhang Ding smiled and patted Wang Zhi on the shoulder: "Brother Wang is a smart first-class man!"

Wang Zhi smiled: "I can't talk about it, but I'm a little bit more minded than others. You will mix with me in the future and you won't suffer."

Zhang Ding nodded again: "Thank you, brother for the mention!"

In a remote valley outside the city, teams of soldiers were doing push-ups, sweat dripping from their chins, and there was a small puddle of water in front of everyone. While watching, Shen Yi said to Shen Jian beside him: "Why did you come here today without a tail?"

Shen Jian shook his head: "Let Zhang Ding pester Wang Zhi, and I slipped out by myself. Don't worry, brother, of course I won't expose you. How many people are there now?"

Shen Yi said: "It's only more than four hundred."

Shen Jian said: "There are not many people. Brother understands each of them's life experience and talents, and they are all useful. I told my father yesterday that he is about to start work. He is very satisfied with you and said that you have your own ideas. "

Shen Yi smiled bitterly: "He didn't say that to me. He told me not to listen to him when he met."

Shen Jian said: "Just do it, you should be a disobedient, don't be by his side, and pull out a team secretly. I will be a disobedient, by his side, I will start to manage most sergeants."

Shen Yi sighed: "There is still not enough manpower. We must understand the background of the soldiers level by level, and we must have our own confidants. These require people and time."

Shen Jian whispered: "We still have time, five years, and five years."

Shen Yi took a deep breath: "At that time, I had ten thousand people."

Shen Jian pursed his lips tightly: "I have to be my father's deputy and have the power to command soldiers and generals."

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly: No one's shoulders are easy.

-------------------------------------------------

The information sent from the border to the prince, once again said that Lord Shen was still in the grassroots level. After the second son of Shen was familiar with the terrain and environment, he entered the chief account of the Chinese army and became the clerk of Zhenbeihou. This is a traditional starting position to become the commander-in-chief in the future, and it further confirms that Lord Shen did not follow military conventions and might not be liked by Zhenbei Hou.

However, this piece of information did not get the Prince's attention, because the Prince first got the news that the food was robbed.

"Dang!" The prince smashed the inkstone on the case against the person who was kneeling against him. The inkstone was inaccurate and hit the large vase behind him, and the vase shattered.

"Who dares to do this! Go check it out! Who is it! If you can't find it out, be careful of your own lives!"

The staff crowed and bowed: "Really ignorant stupid people! They all took picks and didn't dare to kill, and in the end they didn't hurt us alone! These people dug a huge pit, there are more than 30, just to catch a few. Someone chasing them! At that time, I couldn’t wait to give them something, so they wanted to burn the car and threw torches on the car! The ministers didn’t want them to burn the grain, so they called it the grain. As a result, when they said it was grain, they were crazy Now, we all ran over and tied us up. Some people cried when they saw the food..."

Another staff member agreed and said: "Yes, this means that you don't want to kill people, but you don't want to get enemies. It seems that these people shouldn't be against people, they really want to rob things." If we can't find out, it will cost us our lives. Don't check it.

The prince said coldly: "Since I am a stupid citizen, why can't I find food and people afterwards!"

The staff said: "Listening to those people's accents, it should be the native farmers in that area. There was no grass and their home was in that mountainous area. Once the grain was in hand, they would definitely go back to the village to distribute it. The villagers got the grain. Naturally, they won’t report them. They also drove out the empty carts and horses for sale. After taking the money, the descendants would be gone. If it’s really a robber, at least the horses should be kept, which can be used for robbery and running. ."

One of the staff members said: "This time I'm waiting for the slightest. I don't know that the disaster has been so serious. Not only are there real bandits, but there are so many farmers who want to take risks. The escorts we hired are too bad. After being arrested, few other people dared to move. This is still the largest and strongest in the capital, and soldiers will have to be used in the future."

Another staff member sighed: "Nowadays, it is to raise grain quickly, and next time it is shipped, we will use heavy soldiers to protect each other."

The prince said coldly: "Where can the heavy soldiers get the heavy soldiers and the guards of the East Palace must not be used! What if I let my father know about this!"

Everyone dared not say anything, the prince frowned tightly, and couldn't accept this stupid bandit's explanation of robbing food in his heart. Vaguely, he felt that there was someone behind here, who would it be? The man who was openly discordant with him was Zhenbei Hou Mansion. He asked: "What's there recently in Beihou, Zhen?"

The staff member said: "It seems that Master Shen is not at peace with Zhenbeihou, and has not joined the Chinese Army, while the Second Master Shen has already joined the Chinese Army."

One of the staff swiftly said: "I thought that Zhenbeihou probably didn't want Master Shen and the Third Prince to keep close, but Master Shen was unwilling to be obedient."

The staff then said: "The Hou Mansion in Zhenbei is also the same as before. The eldest lady practices martial arts every day, and the second lady usually stays in the house and sleeps every day. Third son Shen always goes out to play chess, sometimes with Mr. Zhang in Ping Yuanhou. meet."

One person answered the question: "His Royal Highness wants to find someone to **** the grain. If you can find someone who has led soldiers in the past, such as Ping Yuanhou, let him help His Highness..."

The crown prince frowned and asked: "The gift of the four princesses is this month, how are you going to deal with the prince Zhang"

Everyone understands that after this food looting, the four princesses and Pingyuan Hou Mansion become more important and have strategic significance: if Pingyuan Hou Mansion is pulled to the prince’s boat, Li's wealth can be sufficient for the prince to raise food. Of funds. If food is delivered again, Ping Yuanhou can arrange an **** from the old ministry.

The staff replied: "I'm just waiting for the four princesses and the queen. In May, there is a lotus party in the Houfu of Changle, and the princes and ladies from all gates of the capital are invited to come to enjoy the flowers."

Although Changle Houfu was abolished because of its queen, its reputation is far worse than before. But Changle Houfu is still the prince’s foreign family after all, and always has a status.

If you want to calculate the grandpa Zhang, you must clearly be at the prince’s outside house. If something goes wrong, it is just a nail in your head. The surroundings are his own people, and the grandpa Zhang can’t escape.

---------------------------------

Late at night, Shen Zhuo walked through the Changle Houfu.

Many years ago, he played chess here with the youngest son of Changle Hou who was five years older than him. That is, on the night of the Lantern Festival, Shen Wen ran into the fourth princess and the eldest prince.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhuo hated Shen Wen in his heart for keeping himself and his family in the dark. Of course, he also understood that this anger had something to do with how unclear he was ashamed at the beginning.

Although many things are not done by Shen Wen personally now, she was a little girl who was able to see the crisis many years ago, and the emergency was right. This fact makes Shen Zhuo feel that being a brother is very challenging!

A few days ago, Zhang Yunming approached Shen Zhuo and told him to help him find a young man of the right age in the Changle Houfu, to keep in touch with each other so that he could use it in the future. The two people agreed to see each other in five days, and they were ventilated.

When Shen Zhuo heard it, he knew it was full of conspiracies. At that time, there were rumors in the city that who didn't know that the four princesses in the palace had booked the grandson Zhang and the matter remained up in the air. It seems that the emperor did not agree. Now that Young Master Zhang wants to get involved with the Prince's foreign family, this is obviously looking for a backing. Shen Zhuo smirked, picking up a dark night and stepping on the things that Mr. Zhang asked.

Changle Houfu’s night is very lively. The abandoned elder brother Jia Qing has grandsons. When Shen Zhuo came last time, he already had more than a dozen children of his concubine. Over the years, he added a few more, and there are also grandchildren of his concubine, Changle Houfu. Every courtyard was crowded, with children crying and adults shouting or arguing everywhere. Don't say that Shen Zhuo walked on the roof with light effort, just stepped on a piece of tile in one step, and no one would hear it.

Shen Zhuo found the main hall of the Hou Mansion. The fat middle-aged and old man in it should be Changle Hou Jiaqing. The one in front of him who has also been blessed in his 40s should be his eldest son Jia Daguan.

Jia Qingzheng said: "...I have handed over several posts to see your aunt, but there is no news. What do you mean by the prince, why don't you let me see his mother"

Shen Zhuo stopped and wanted to listen carefully.

Jia Qing’s son Jia Daguan answered hesitatingly: “Maybe, because the aunt is in the cold palace, the prince doesn’t want people to notice his father, you know, when you enter the palace, everyone doesn’t watch it.”

Jia Qing lowered his voice: "I'm not really in a rush to see your aunt, but last year, she asked someone to bring out a letter from the palace, which meant that I wanted me to pick someone for the four princesses. But after that, I didn’t believe it anymore, did her words count or not count.”

Official Jia frowned: "There are no married men in our house. Except for the younger brother, there are a few concubines and other offspring. The younger brother, because the wife died of two families, everyone said that he was killed by his wife, so it has been delayed until now. He is eight years older than the fourth princess. Let the fourth princess marry him. Will the aunt be unhappy, except for the little brother, everyone else is really not worthy of the fourth princess."

Jia Qing sighed: "That's why I wanted to ask her! But why didn't the prince let my uncle enter the palace?" How did he know that the prince was afraid that he would talk to Jia Jingfei about this, and he had told people not to Let him go into the palace to see Concubine Jia Jing.

The middle-aged man said: "Last time the four princesses came to pay his father birthday, the younger brother also went to see him. I think the younger brother meant that I did not dislike the fourth princess."

Jia Qing hummed: "What can he dislike now, which good people dare to marry his daughter to him"

The middle-aged man whispered, "But the fourth princess, that temper, you know..."

Jia Qing waved his hand: "That's what your aunt is used to. Little girl, marry someone, and if she suffers a loss, she will be sensible. If she is disobedient, she will lift people into the house. I think she can stand alone and not admit defeat. This woman, just can’t give face. If she loses her temper, you will ignore her immediately and look back for ten or eight, and see if she dares to be temperamental."

Official Jia said with a smile: "It is precisely..."

Shen Zhuo rolled his eyes, no wonder there are so many people in Changle Houfu!

Jia Qing sighed again: "To tell you the truth, our mansion has little money now. If you marry the fourth princess to your brother's name, her dowry should have many treasures, and it can be rescued."

Official Jia frowned: "This... can it work, she must not have her dowry from the princess mansion, and she must not control it herself"

Jia Qing chuckled: "Just take care of it! Let your brother go and read about our house every day. It’s not good to eat and dress well. I don’t believe that she can watch without paying the money. If she doesn’t give it, let her go. I stole it and sold it, and then said the thief was lost, who can find out."

Official Jia said hesitantly: "I'm afraid the emperor and the prince..."

Jia Qing waved his hand: "Don't worry, the emperor can abolish your aunt. How much heart can he have for this broken daughter. The prince hasn't even dared to put a fart in front of the emperor over the years. Don’t let it go, I can fight for his sister to come and fight with her in-laws with great fanfare. Who else can she marry the fourth princess? She marries your brother, at least we won’t kill her. Marrying to another house, she That temper, meet someone who doesn't like her, hum..."

Official Jia laughed: "Father is really foresight."...

Shen Zhuo didn't want to listen too much, moved his steps, peeping back and forth in several courtyards, and finally found the youngest son of Jia Family who had played chess with him before.

If it hadn't been for Shen Zhuo to look for him deliberately, if the two of them had actually met on the street, Shen Zhuo probably wouldn't recognize him. This son of Jia should be only twenty-two-three, but he is a bit puffy, and looks like he is thirty years old. At this moment, he was lying halfway on the bed. Two maids were feeding him snacks piece by piece, while the other was holding a towel and wiping his mouth occasionally.

Shen Zhuo despised this kind of man, but to get close to him, he had to understand some of his preferences. Shen Zhuo had to squat on the eaves and listen to the movement in the house.

A maid smiled and said, "My son's lips are bright red, so you have someone's rouge?"

Shen Zhuo almost didn't vomit: Bright red drank blood, right?

The other yelled: "You little vinegar! The son is by your side today, and I ate you too!"

Young Master Jia laughed: "Listen to you, you are jealous too."

The voice of a maid: "My son, how can I not be jealous? I don't think it is enough to guard my son every day!"

Another: "You should be careful! When the mistress enters the door, you must be sent off first!"

Young Master Jia: "How come! I will protect you."

A maid whispered: "I used to hear people say that your aunt wants to pick a husband for the four princesses in this mansion!"

Another maid: "Oh, son, in this mansion, only the son is the son of the prostitute, and everyone else is the son of the son. Then in the future, only the son can become a son!"

Master Jia's lazy voice: "Don't talk nonsense, it has been a long time, and there is no result."

A maid said in a low voice, "I heard that it was because the fourth princess hadn't made it yet. If it's time, son, you will soon become a messenger!"

The voice of another maid: "Don't be so happy, who doesn't know that the fourth princess is very temperamental. If she becomes the mistress, there is still a way for us to survive."

Gongzi Jia said hurriedly: "How can you say that she is her, you are you! Then live separately, don't mess with her. She's all shameless, who wants her to marry me, how dare she do her? If you are not a girl, you can’t wait for me to clean up her at night..."

A maid exclaimed: "My son! Don't say that..."

Young Master Jia smiled and said, "Don't be serious, as if you haven't done it before!"

The other also smiled and said, "That's right, as if we haven't seen you do it..."

A string of screams and screams...

Shen Zhuo couldn't listen anymore, got up and ran out of the Changle Houfu. He felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten his stomach. He couldn't go anywhere at night, so he went back to the Hou Mansion, drank a pot of light tea, took a good bath, and cleaned up both inside and outside.
