Chapter 54 Jia Rong: Uncle Heng, my father hasn't been idle lately
The King of Chu looked a little embarrassed and said: "It's not a private matter, but to share the worries of the country. Sister Chanyue, for the brotherhood, I used the household department to seal the deed and pay an IOU to my aunt. Once the autumn grain is transferred to Beijing, the remaining
As a brother, I will definitely repay the silver tael in full."
Li Chanyue curled her lips, looking at the girl's fair and jade-like cheeks, and said: "An IOU for three hundred thousand taels of silver? Sorry, my small business does not accept credit."
The eldest princess of Jinyang glanced at King Chu and said clearly: "King Chu, it's better to go elsewhere to find a solution for this matter."
It’s not that she is reluctant to part with these extraneous things. She only cares for an orphan girl. No matter how elaborate the three meals a day are, how much food can she use? But once the food is allocated, it will never be taken back like before. Corruption is rampant.
Moreover, there is another trick here. The number of grain stores owned by King Qi is twice as many as hers, and he is now in charge of the Ministry of Accounts. Why can't he even allocate money?
King Chu was about to speak when Lianxue stepped forward with light steps and said softly: "Your Highness, the manuscript of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" you asked me to pick up has arrived."
When the eldest princess of Jinyang saw this, she looked overjoyed and said, "Bring it quickly."
When the King of Chu saw this, he knew that he was talking about him. He smiled and asked, "What manuscript is so beloved by my aunt?"
His aunt just likes to read these story books and the like, but she doesn't know what there is to read.
The eldest princess of Jinyang did not want to continue to quarrel with the King of Chu about buying grain, so she said: "It is a recent manuscript from Zhai Zhong. The opening words are well written, so I left some meaning."
After finishing speaking, the eldest princess of Jinyang stopped paying attention to the King of Chu. She took the manuscript, lowered her beautiful eyes slightly, and began to read attentively, as if she was reading a book, please don't bother me.
King Chu's face darkened, he picked up the tea cup and sipped it gently, knowing that he was drying himself.
"Others serve tea to guests, but my aunt drives them away with books. She is elegant and elegant, and is very ordinary."
King Chu raised his sinister eyes and glanced at the beautiful lady in palace clothes, with an indescribable meaning in his heart.
Li Chanyue's eyebrows were curved into crescents, a smile appeared on her white and moist face, and she said with a smile: "Brother King Chu, my mother is obsessed with reading and forgets to eat and sleep. This thick stack of manuscripts,
We don’t want to see it get dark, so let’s go horse riding and let Manager Xie take care of the food you buy.”
King Chu Qiang smiled to himself, stood up, cupped his hands, and said: "Aunt, my nephew is going back first."
The eldest princess of Jinyang raised her face, which looked like flowers, and said: "King Chu, please go back first. I won't give it to you. Yue'er, I will give it to you, brother King Chu."
King Chu said nothing more, looked calm, stood up and left.
After King Chu left, Princess Jinyang put down the manuscript in her hand, raised her eyes, looked at Lianxue, and said softly: "Do you have anything else to do?"
Lianxue said softly: "Your Highness is talking about the author of this manuscript."
With that, he told everything about Jia Heng.
"That Mr. Jia said he wanted to see His Highness, but I don't know what he meant." Lianxue said softly.
The eldest princess of Jinyang raised her beautiful eyebrows, and there was a hint of thoughtfulness in her charming eyes. She murmured: "Jia Heng, are you from the Jia family? Is this a matter in the palace?"
She couldn't help but think deeply. As far as she knew, the Jia family sent a daughter to the palace, and now she was working as a female historian with her sister-in-law. She heard it by chance the last time she went to the palace.
Lianxue said: "Your Highness, this Young Master Jia Heng does not seem to be involved with Ning Rong's second house. He seems to want to renegotiate the price of the manuscript."
The eldest princess of Jinyang's beautiful face remained as cold as ever. She lowered her eyes and looked at the manuscript in her hand. Her soft and charming eyes passed over "Linjiang Immortal" and she said in a clear voice: "This article is written with the style of a great master of the generation, and there is also
The writing was very sharp, so Liu Tong must have lowered his price. Since he felt unsatisfied, he just followed the example of famous writers."
"Yes, Your Highness, have you seen that person again?" Lianxue asked.
The silver for the famous artist's pen was about one thousand taels. Hearing that his master had the same idea as himself, Lianxue's heart moved slightly.
"As for the person... just disappear, let him write the manuscript well, and don't be greedy. You need to know that he is a white man, and no matter how much money he has, it is like a child holding gold..."
At this time, Princess Jinyang knew that she was not from Ning Rong's second house, so she had little connection with her. In addition, the talented King Chu came to visit with an evil guest, so she obviously didn't have much desire to see her.
Just as I read on, I reached the end of the first chapter. My eyes fell on the concluding poem, and I opened my lips lightly, and I couldn't help but chant: "Hey, snobbery is still there in ancient times. Who knows that a hero is white? An Dekuairen."
Like a feather of virtue, you can kill all the unfaithful people in the world."
Lianxue's face was slightly stunned. She raised her eyes to look at her princess's face, and saw that there was something funny about her face, which was as beautiful as a peony stamen.
"This Jia Heng, I didn't say that he betrayed his promise and reneged on his promise, but he insinuated that I was snobbish?" The eldest princess of Jinyang had a graceful face and a voice like flying jade. She opened her eyes for the second time.
Lianxue said: "Your Highness, I will go and inform him."
"Wait a minute, let him come over after lunch. I want to ask who is the snobbery." Princess Jinyang said.
"Yes." Lianxue was surprised for a moment, responded, bowed Yingying, and turned around.
The eldest princess of Jinyang picked up a stack of manuscripts in her hand, stood up, walked around the screen, sat on the recliner, and stared at the manuscripts.
I didn't realize it just now, but now I was fascinated.
It's like seeing a strong man with an iron horse.
There are many stories that are different after all through opera and text, especially the selection of historical materials, which means the arrangement of the story is different.
Along the way, I saw Meng De offering his sword, and the eighteen princes challenged Dong.
After finishing reading, the eldest princess of Jinyang closed her book, with a hint of understanding in her beautiful eyes, and said: "The Han family has caused chaos in the world for four hundred years, but it is Yuan Shao who has caused chaos in the world?"
With the insight of this Han eldest princess, she could naturally see what kind of evil idea Yuan Shao had for Butcher He. Apart from the ten permanent servants, there was no need to bring in border troops. Isn't this the source of trouble?
"Wait a minute and ask Jia Heng if that's what he thinks?" Princess Jinyang took a sip of tea and continued reading the manuscript.
…
…
Jia Heng wrote the invitation at home. Since he was not always around, he went to his cousins Dong Qian and Cai Quan's house in the morning to hand over the invitation.
Aunt Cai and her husband Li Dazhu were shopping for various wedding items, booking banquets at restaurants, renting sedan chairs, etc.
Over here, Jia Heng just handed an invitation to the gatekeeper of Rongguo Mansion and asked it to be handed over to the maid. At this time, it was already noon, and he walked along Ningrong Street towards the alley where his home was.
After lunch, he planned to go to Feng Tang's house and Song Yuan's house in the afternoon.
The car was walking back, and when he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw Jia Rong and a young man with fine features, even more handsome than Jia Rong, wearing a blue gown, coming from the direction of Dongfu, and also walking towards Liutiao Hutong.
When Jia Rong saw Jia Heng from a distance, he walked a few steps quickly and said with a smile: "Uncle Heng, I was just going to find you. I prepared a small banquet at home and came to treat Uncle Heng to a drink to apologize to Uncle Heng. Brother Qiang happened to be there
My son is here too, just in time to be a witness."
Jia Qiang looked at Jia Heng curiously.
Jia Heng turned around and looked at Jia Rong, and said calmly: "I have something to do later, so I won't have to drink. That's all you have the heart to do."
Jia Rong smiled and said, "Uncle Heng is busy with getting married recently?"
Seeing Jia Heng's brows slightly furrowed and his eyes slightly cold, Jia Rong said quickly: "My nephew has no other intentions. He just heard that Uncle Heng was getting married and prepared some rituals to honor Uncle Heng."
With that said, he took out ten taels of silver from his sleeve.
Jia Heng glanced at Jia Rong and said, "I can't accept your money. You can keep it for yourself."
With that said, he stopped paying attention to Jia Rong's insistence and walked away.
Jia Rong, with quick eyes and quick hands, took Jia Heng's arm again and said with a playful smile: "Uncle Heng, uncle Heng, Brother Qiang and I have prepared a banquet to apologize to Uncle Heng. Uncle Heng must show respect to his nephew no matter what.
That’s it.”
"Let's try another day. I really have something to do today and I can't get away." Jia Heng said, trying to push Jia Rong away.
"Uncle Heng, my father...has not been idle recently." At this moment, Jia Rong suddenly lowered his voice and said.
