Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 245 Tell the truth!

What you said is insincere, pretentious, sarcastic, and - no one believes it!

Everyone looked at each other, but in the end, no one said anything.

Daiyu looked at Jia Jin and Jia Wei with a smile: "Among all the people in Ning Gong's family, the most capable one is elder brother Xianzhen.

"Since he can entrust the Jinling old house to you two, it shows that you two are smart and wise."

The two men felt a chill on their backs and knelt down at the same time!

Jia Jin looked down at the ground, sweat dripping down his face. "Brother Xianzhen always taught me:

"Princess Zhaoqing is the smartest person in the world!

"We dare not try to be clever in front of the princess!

“Although we have intercepted Xiao Rong Sanye’s spy in Jinling, we still feel that things are not that simple.

"Sister-in-law Zhen urgently ordered the two of us to come here to escort Princess Zhaoqing back home.

"As long as we leave the border of Jiangnan Province and Shandong Jingji, we will never dare to offend the princess again!"

After Jia Jin finished speaking, he kowtowed to the ground again, "Only this matter is true!"

Daiyu smiled and glanced at Qingwen.

Qingwen understood and said with a cute smile, "Oh my! Second Master Xiaoyun, it's not that I am relying on our familiarity to interrupt you!

"What's the big deal?

"Have you forgotten what our princess was like in Beijing? If she wasn't afraid of anything in Beijing, would she be afraid of something in Suzhou?

"This is the territory of the Lin family's old house! No matter who the outsider is, he must be coiled like a dragon and lie down like a tiger!"

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she almost laughed out loud. She glared at her and signaled her to step back!

The other four women covered their mouths and laughed secretly.

Xiaohong took a step forward and said with a smile: "Second Master Yun, please take these two Masters Jia to rest first.

"Please tell Jing Bo that the princess knows what's going on, so don't worry."

When Jia Yun heard Xiao Hong's words, he was finally relieved and bowed, saying, "I will take my leave now."

Daiyu then spoke again: "You two have come from afar with good intentions. Brother Yun will treat you well."

Jia Yun said yes respectfully.

Jia Jin and Jia Wei heard these words with a different meaning:

Jia Yun is Lin Daiyu's man.

Jia Jin and Jia Wei are from the Jia family.

We all have the surname Jia, but we are divided into you and me.

The three of them left the hall, one in front and two behind.

Daiyu looked up at Chu Kui, who was looking serious, and almost laughed out loud: "Didn't you say you weren't afraid?"

Chu Qia's hand subconsciously touched his waist and pressed it gently: "I'm absolutely not afraid!"

Daiyu smiled and left: "If you are not afraid, then I am even less afraid."

October 20th.

Suddenly, news spread in Suzhou: "Prince Beijing, who is staying in Yangzhou, is said to be going to inspect the entire Jiangnan region and then return to Beijing because the flood has subsided.

"We arrived at Changzhou Prefecture yesterday and checked the river bank. Without even stopping, we followed the canal to our place!"

Some people began to doubt: "In Changzhou Prefecture, the canal and the river bank are so close that it takes a day and a half to ride on horseback.

"Especially since the floods have just subsided, the dirt roads are difficult to travel on. How did Prince Beijing manage to travel down the canal in just one day?"

The feud between Prince Beijing and Princess Zhaoqing has now spread from the officialdom of Jiangnan to the people of Jiangnan.

Then some idle men asked with a sly smile: "Did the Northern King really rush over here overnight when he heard there was a beautiful woman in Gusu?!"

The news spread quickly.

When Wei Jun heard this, he was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet in the government office and howled: "I can't live like this anymore!"

Guan Sheng also cried and sighed as he brought the murders of the Song, Qiu and Yu families back to the light of day, making it known to everyone in Suzhou!

Even Tai Shang, who was accompanying his wife on a boat trip on Lake Tai, heard the rumor.

The boatman on the lake was filled with emotion, laughing and singing:

“Good people don’t have a good ending.

“Evil ghosts only want treasure and money.

“All the lives have been lost.

“Can’t resist, greedy and cruel royal family.

"The moon on the lake shines coldly.

“The grass in the mountains is cut by the wind.

“When is the most miserable time in this world?

"Sigh, in this mortal world, who dies and who lives.

"I wish to ask Lord Yama to make the decision so that I will never be a human again in my next life!"

Tai Shang and Dai Quan's expressions gradually changed.

Dai Quan glanced at the Supreme Lord, and asked the boatman in a tense voice, "Did you write this song yourself?"

"Of course not." The boatman laughed and said, "This song became popular five or six years ago, and all the boatmen on the lake can sing it.

“As for who wrote it, who knows?

“There are so many poets and writers as elegant and refined as your Excellency.

"In those two years, the emperor went on a southern tour, and all the sour scholars came. Later, many of them stayed in Suzhou and Lake Suzhou.

"Some people who heard about those cases made up songs and taught the geishas to sing them, and we gradually learned them."

Feng Ziying spat fiercely into the lake almost at the end of his words: "What a horrible thing!

"With this kind of rhythm that doesn't make sense, the lines that don't make sense, the rhythm that doesn't make sense, the rhyme that doesn't make sense, you dare say it's the work of writers?!

"If this rhetoric wasn't made up by a bunch of illiterate bastards like you to attract attention, I would lose my head to you!"

The boatman was so embarrassed by his scolding that he put his hands on his waist, put down the oars, and snorted, "The guest should hold his head in his hands and find out the truth!

"I am an illiterate and rough man, but I don't understand, I don't know, and I can't find it!"

Feng Tang kicked Feng Ziying hard on the crotch. The pain made Feng Ziying fall directly into the cabin, groaning through gritted teeth.

The Queen Mother sighed and said with a smile, "That's enough! A fisherman can start a quarrel!

"You guys, you guys are obviously tired of hanging out with me these days!

"Looking for trouble!"

Tanchun also sneered.

Seeing everyone looking at her, her face turned red and she hid in the Queen Mother's arms.

The Queen Mother glanced at the Emperor.

The Supreme Master also smiled and said, "I see, Madam wants to go ashore.

"Boatman. We don't want to go back to Huzhou today. We want to go directly to Suzhou. Is that possible?"

The boatman hesitated for a moment, then looked at the sky and saw that it was still early. He gritted his teeth and nodded.

"OK!

"But you have to pay more!"

Feng Ziying glanced at Feng Tang, immediately stood up, pursed his lips and whistled towards the lake!

Two speedboats were rowing towards him at high speed.

The two boatmen on the ship, one in front and one behind, and the two boat maids serving in the cabin were all shocked.

A speedboat approached, Feng Ziying jumped over, whispered a few instructions, and then jumped back.

Then, one of the speedboats turned back to Huzhou, while the other one slowly followed the big ship and headed straight to Suzhou calmly.

That night, the distinguished guests who had disappeared for three days were welcomed back to the best courtyard of the largest inn in Suzhou City.

At night, Feng Ziying was rubbing his hands in the yard, cursing fiercely.

Tanchun came out of the Empress Dowager's room carrying the medicine bowl, and after turning two corners, she happened to hear it as she passed by, and couldn't help laughing again.

Feng Ziying looked up at her unhappily.

Tanchun apologized and bowed slightly as an apology.

Feng Ziying blinked, then suddenly jumped over, stood in front of Tanchun, raised his chin, and said arrogantly:

"You clearly knew that Jia Rong of the Jia family was not a decent person, so why didn't you insist on informing Princess Zhaoqing?

"What is your intention?

"Quickly recruit from the real situation!"
