The Coral of the Red Mansion Does Not Return

Chapter 63

There is a small lake in Chengwang Mansion. In the middle of the lake is an elegant and simple pavilion. It is very artistic to cook wine and enjoy the snow in winter.It is early summer now, the sky and the earth illuminated by the bright sun are extraordinarily bright, the sky is like washing, the breeze is gentle, and a cup of fragrant tea in hand is extraordinarily comfortable.

The dignified expressions on the faces of the two people in the pavilion seemed to be relieved a lot.

Without waiting for King Cheng to ask the first question, Jia Hu said, "Your Highness, still remember how Master fooled my father?"

King Cheng's heart trembled, "Could it be that there is something supernatural about that psychic gem?"

Jia Hu shook her head, "I'm afraid only my father knows."

King Cheng thought for a while, then smiled, "Duke Rong didn't take that jade seriously, so it wouldn't be of much use if he thought about it." If there is any great use, it is clear that it is only harmful.

It would be better for King Cheng to come to his own conclusion, and Jia Hu did not refute it. In ten years or so, everyone would know that Baoyu had the temperament of "pity the fragrance and cherish the jade", and the royal family could feel relieved.

"However, why did you admit it so readily?" The words of the two were inconsistent, and before King Cheng left, his father's little eyes that looked at him with a smile that was not a smile made his face burn.

Jia Hu hurriedly made amends, "I don't know that Your Highness has already defended Hu, please forgive me." King Cheng nodded casually, which is considered to have uncovered this section.Jia Hucai said: "I guess the emperor already knows the truth." After King Cheng nodded again, Jia Hu went on to say: "The crime of unfilial piety can be big or small, and the emperor may not necessarily get tired of me because of this matter. But it is obvious. The crime of deceiving the emperor, the emperor must be unhappy."

"You're right." Cheng Wang said.On weekdays, Cheng Wang would also make such a decision.I'm still too anxious to come in.King Cheng took a sip of his tea and said, "King Wu and King Li are fighting more and more fiercely in the court."

Jia Hu shook his head slightly, "It's not time for you to come out yet."

King Cheng sighed slightly, and said mockingly, "I'm a joke in the eyes of those two people now, so what's the point of arguing?"

Feeling very guilty, Jia Hu said in a low voice, "But what happened to you has caused you trouble?"

King Cheng waved his hand, "It's none of your business." After pondering for a moment, he said again: "If you hadn't reminded me to pay attention to the seventh brother earlier, I really didn't know that he also had hidden ambitions." Let me talk about the Ministry.

"There is no prince who doesn't want to sit in that seat." Jia Hu was unexpectedly calm, "The emperor is in his prime, and the remaining little princes may not be impossible."

King Cheng nodded in agreement, and said with a slight sarcasm at the corner of his mouth: "He hides really deep. If the ninth brother hadn't told me, I really didn't know that the eighth brother was also bewitched by him." , the identity of the biological mother is much higher than that of the Seventh Prince, a palace maid, and I don't know why the Eighth Prince is willing to follow the Seventh Prince's ass.

"Maybe it's because the Seventh Prince has a great personality?" Jia Hu guessed.

This made King Cheng couldn't help laughing.He laughed for a while, and then said: "By the way, all your shops in various places have been sold out, leaving only the Zhuangyuan Building in Beijing and the Biyu Building in Yangzhou. Can you take money now?" As the price for King Cheng's move, Jia Hu paid 500 million silver, and both of them were very satisfied with the deal.

The cash in Jia Hu's hand has shrunk by half, but he doesn't care.When the money has reached a level, it is just a number, and he doesn't want to become a king to support many people, and the remaining money is enough for him and the Rongguo Mansion to spend a lifetime. "Hu would also like to thank Your Highness for arranging those stewards for me."

Those stewards had nowhere to go, and they were all taken under the tent by King Cheng.Regarding this, King Cheng was slightly embarrassed. After all, it was not very authentic to snatch the steward Jia Hu had trained.

Jia Hu didn't take it seriously, poaching people often happens, and he can only blame himself if he can't keep talents, not to mention that he has stopped, and these talents can't be wasted.

"It is their honor to be able to do things for His Highness."

He said again: "Jadeite, although it is quite popular in the circle of noble ladies, the audience is still too small."

King Cheng didn't quite understand the term "audience", so Jia Hu explained it to him, and King Cheng asked with interest, "Then you want to expand new sales channels?" Now in use.

These princes are all the elites among the elites. They are more savvy than the stewards I need to use, and they can understand everything.Jia Hu was thinking like this, but he didn't delay his reply: "Yes. Do you want a share, Your Highness?"

King Cheng raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Are you not cooperating with the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Jia Hu smiled slightly, "I'm afraid that the image of the emperor will be tarnished."

Could it be some illegal business? "Smuggling? No, isn't it emerald?"

"Stone gambling." Jia Hu spit out these two words.

Ever since he recruited Jia Hu, King Cheng had also heard about the jade industry in Dali and Tengchong, "This is gambling! It is forbidden by law!"

But Jia Hu said: "It's okay to play a side-ball." Jia Hu said suggestively, "There are so many wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River. Instead of letting them spend their money on fighting for wealth, it is better to contribute to our great cause."

Cheng Wang was tempted.Money, he really doesn't think too much!

He hesitated and asked: "Are you sure that Father will not pursue it?"

When Jia Hu came back from Prince Cheng's Mansion, Jia She and Liu Shi had been waiting for a long time.Seeing Jia Hu coming, Jia She blew his beard and stared and said, "Didn't I tell you to stay away from those princes! Why did you go to Cheng Wang's mansion again? Don't you take my words seriously?"

Mrs. Liu hurriedly brought a cup of tea and persuaded him to calm down, "Say what you have to say, children have their own ideas, you should share the pros and cons with him."

Jia She was very afraid that Jia Hu would imitate him in fighting the dragon, but he hated him for telling Jia Hu about his childlessness, which made him lawless.

Jia Hu said helplessly: "His Royal Highness Cheng Wang invites me, I can't refuse?"

Mrs. Liu pulled Jia She, and said: "It's not urgent. Hu'er, why did the emperor summon you? Your father and I are worried about you!" Jia She heard this and snorted, but did not refute Liu. if.

Feeling the care of his family, Jia Hu's heart seemed to be soaked in warm water, and waves of heat flowed through his chest.He smiled slightly, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth became more and more obvious, showing that he was in a very good mood.

The more Jia Amnesty listened, the angrier he became, with a dark face the whole time, especially when the emperor asked about the psychic gem.At one moment, he hated himself for making trouble for nothing, being cheap, and gave Jia Hu a piece of fake psychic jade; It was also dismissed by the emperor as 'unbearable for reuse'.In the end, his face was fixed on a gloomy face.

After Jia Hu finished speaking, Empress Liu patted her chest in fear, frowned and said, "It's strange that someone came from the palace earlier, and Su Shui found a piece of psychic jade from your room, which shocked me a lot. That's how you say it." , that jade was actually bought by younger siblings from a shop outside?"

"The shopkeeper must have used the pattern that my father used before!" Jia Hu said "filled with righteous indignation".

But Jia Amnesty coughed, and the mother and son looked over.With a thick skin, he said unconsciously: "Hu'er, go back and rest first, you don't have to come over for dinner. I'll send someone to call you in the evening."

It's almost time for dinner, why don't you drive him away now?Jia Hu was a little surprised, and seeing his father kept peeking at his mother, he suddenly realized, and resigned tactfully.

Seeing that Jia Hu was gone, Liu Shi pushed Jia She and said something angrily, Jia She laughed out loud.Amidst the laughter, Jia Hu walked away.

After dinner, Jia Hu lazily lay on the beauty couch, her usually dark eyes were misty and half-closed, her half-wet hair was draped over her shoulders, and she was wearing a tight middle coat. It just makes people feel hot.

He Gui was fanning at the side, and the copper coin was bowing his body and talking about something.After a while the sound of copper coins stopped, Jia Hu said: "I see." He motioned for the copper coins to withdraw.

"Do you know where you are going wrong?"

Suddenly hearing the old man say this, He Gui saw that there was no one else in the room, and then realized that he was talking to him.He Gui almost dropped his fan in a panic, and only a moment later he knelt down on the ground in a dignified manner holding the fan.Tears welled up in his eyes for an instant, and he suppressed the heat in his heart, and Hegui said aggrievedly: "I, my slave knows my mistake."

After all, they grew up together, and Jia Hu has a lot of affection for him, otherwise he wouldn't give him a cold shoulder and let him serve by his side.Hearing Hegui's nasal reply, Jia Hu's heart softened, and he said flatly, "In that case, I'll come back to work tomorrow."

He Gui grinned and kowtowed to the uncle, stood up in a hurry, and fanned himself attentively.Jia Hu was in the gentle breeze, squinting his eyes and thinking about things.

It was pitch black outside the window, and Jia Hu waited until the moon was in the middle of the sky before someone said: "The master is resting today, let the master go down to the master's study tomorrow." Tomorrow he had to go to the Imperial Academy, so Jia Hu had to sleep down.

The next day, he went to Jia Shewai's study.

Jia She stared at him for a long time.

Does Huer know his secret?He never revealed it before, but he only told Caifu afterwards.If Hu'er knew it, it wouldn't make sense to go on Cheng Wang's doomed ship?Or only know part of it?Jia Amnesty did not dare to underestimate the eldest son, the title of Duke of this country was earned by his son!

Thinking of this, Jia She said suggestively: "Hu'er, a big event will happen this autumn, when the time comes, you can avoid it as far as you can."

Jia Hu didn't give up, wanted to pry out some news, and glanced at Jia She suspiciously, until Jia She became furious, and said slowly: "What did father say? Why didn't I hear about it in the Imperial Academy?"

Being questioned by his son, Jia Shen almost broke the ancient fan in his hand.Subconsciously, he was like roaring, and he held back.Master She taught his son not much better than Jia Zheng.Jia Lian, for example, has never had a good face from the Elder Master. Once he failed to get the ancient fan in the hands of a stone nerd, he was given a good beating by Jia Amnesty.

But he had never beaten Jia Hu.The eldest son has always been worry-free and promising, but this is not good, he is too thoughtful.Hit him, Jia Amnesty can't do it, Liu's protection is no worse than Jia Mu's protection of Baoyu, and it can't change Jia Hu's decision.

"Like a stubborn cow! I don't know whose temperament I followed!"

Jia She spat.

"Naturally, I have my own news channel. Hu'er, our family's title has reached its peak, and it is impossible for Da Zhou to become the king of the opposite sex," Jia She could see clearly, and said earnestly, "Three generations of Rongguo Dukes, our Rongguo Mansion It’s too grand, like cooking oil over hot fire, you must know that it’s too much! Besides, it’s not so easy to get from the dragon.”

Grandfather handed over all his connections to Jia Hu, so what news channel can Jia Amnesty have?He rolled his eyes openly.

Jia Amnesty was so pissed off by this unfilial son, he pointed at Jia Hu and said sharply, "I'm not good at talking, am I?"

Jia Hu said reluctantly, "How could it be? Whatever the father asks, the son will do everything."

"Then you are not allowed to look for King Cheng!"

"I can't wait for His Royal Highness King Cheng to come to find my son," Jia Hu prevaricated, "The king of heaven and earth is a teacher, and King Cheng is the king, so my son dare not disobey."

When Master She got angry, he almost made the Seventh Prince bald because he was destined to be the emperor.

"You think I don't know what you're doing?" Jia Shesen said coldly, "You're promising, don't take my worthless old man seriously?"

Jia Hu froze, looked fixedly at Jia She's condensed eyes, and suddenly realized that his father was really angry.

I can't just watch my son go to death, Jia Amnesty made up his mind, and said sharply: "If I knew this, I shouldn't have let you take the Jinshi exam so early! Go to the ancestral hall and kneel, when will you think clearly, and when will you get up. If you haven’t figured it out tomorrow, I’ll send someone to ask your superior for leave!”
