Chapter 7

The palanquin stopped in front of the three beast-headed doors. Looking up slightly, one could see a large plaque above the main door, on which were written the words "Ning Guo Mansion".

He Shen walked out of the palanquin, but he only glanced at it indifferently, without any change in expression on his face.

Outside the main door, there were several people dressed in extraordinary clothes sitting in a row.

However, the moment the palanquin stopped, they all looked over respectfully.

"Brother Zhizhai!"

Jia Zheng's figure appeared at the door, followed by many servants. It looked like a big lineup.

It was a pleasant surprise that Jia Zheng was so easy to coax.

He Shen took in Jia Zheng's expression, walked forward, and a smile appeared on his indifferent face.

"Brother Cunzhou." He Shen called out.

As expected, Jia Zheng didn't feel offended at all. Instead, he smiled amiably at He Shen, and said in surprise, "Brother Zhizhai is also on leave today?

I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to invite Brother Zhizhai. "

"I've been sick recently. The Emperor empathized with me and ordered me to rest at home.

Yesterday, I went to the Taoist temple to ask for medicine from the Taoist priest. "

Jia Zheng came to a sudden realization and said, "I went to that Daoist temple only because it was quiet.

However, if I really wanted to ask for medicine, I'm afraid that the Taoist priest doesn't have the ability. "

At this point, Jia Zheng seemed to want to say something, but hesitated.

"Brother Cunzhou, if you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?"

He Shen's tone was neither cold nor warm, but it always made people feel close to him, and they couldn't help but want to get closer to He Shen.

"There is a doctor who often comes to the mansion. Although he can't bring people back to life, he does have some skills.

Brother Zhizhai, if you don't mind, I'll ask someone to invite him over … "

How could He Shen lack a doctor?

Not to mention that he himself was a doctor.

Even if he was really sick, with his current status and power, wouldn't it be easy for him to find a good doctor?

If Jia Zheng had said this to anyone else, he would have been laughed at.

However, He Shen could tell at a glance that Jia Zheng was sincere in befriending him and treating him as a confidant.

However, He Shen didn't take it to heart.

After all, there were too many people who wanted to treat him as a confidant with just a few words.

"Why would I dislike it?" He Shen smiled. "Thank you."

"What a coincidence. That doctor is in the manor today."

"Oh?"

Before He Shen could utter another syllable, Jia Zheng angrily said, "It's all because of my unfilial son!

You're not motivated at all. You only know how to be stubborn all day long … "

Baoyu was beaten?!

He Shen wanted to laugh.

Jia Zheng scolded, "You're really unbearable!"

Of course, He Shen wouldn't go along with Jia Zheng.

Why did Jia Zheng always scold Jia Baoyu?

It was only because he had high hopes for Jia Baoyu.

Naturally, he could only tolerate being scolded and beaten by himself, but he couldn't tolerate other people's comments.

He Shen said lightly, "I've long heard that there's a young master who was born with a jade in his mouth in Rongguo Province. He must have great luck. Brother Cunzhou, why are you so anxious?"

Jia Zheng scolded and beat him, but after hearing He Shen's comforting words, his expression became much better.

"If he could be half as good as Brother Zhizhai, then I wouldn't be like this …" Jia Zheng sighed.

He Shen didn't say anything else.

If Jia Zheng saw He Lin and saw that He Lin was already full of poetry at such a young age, wouldn't he be even angrier?

Wouldn't Baoyu be beaten to the point that he couldn't get out of bed for ten days?

Seeing that He Shen didn't say anything else, Jia Zheng felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly led He Shen inside, "Brother Zhizhai, please."

After passing through the main gate, they could see even more wealth and grandeur inside.

Many female servants were bowing with their heads lowered. They looked extremely well-behaved.

However, He Shen's expression didn't change.

He wasn't surprised at all that he could enter and leave the Imperial Palace. Even the splendor of the palace didn't surprise him at all.

What's more, it was only Rongguo Province?

After passing through the Yi Gate, He Shen opened his mouth again and asked casually, "I've heard that Rongguo Province and the Gusu Lin family are in-laws?"

Jia Zheng was stunned. He didn't understand why he suddenly brought this up, but he still nodded and said, "Yes."

Jia Zheng paused and said, "Brother Zhizhai should know my brother-in-law. He's the Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial Censor.

My younger sister, the youngest in the family, married him. "

At this point, Jia Zheng sighed, "My younger sister passed away a few years ago. Her remaining daughter had no one to take care of her. She didn't even have an elder to discuss marriage with.

The old madam missed her very much. As a matter of fact, a few months ago, she brought my niece over from Gusu. "

He Shen said, "Not only do I know her, but I also recognize her.

Imperial Censor Lin wrote to me a long time ago and mentioned that his daughter was coming to live with her maternal grandfather. "

The smile on Jia Zheng's face deepened, "It's really fate!

Brother Zhizhai and my brother-in-law are friends. "

It wasn't that Jia Zheng was close to his brother-in-law, Lin Ruhai.

However, there was something strange about the way people interacted with each other.

As long as there were people who knew each other, their friendship would instantly become many times closer.

At this moment, Jia Zheng felt that He Shen's appearance was becoming more and more amiable.

Although he was a little young, it was really rare to meet a bosom friend!

Jia Zheng felt that he and Assistant Minister He had the feeling of meeting a soulmate in the mountains and flowing water of the previous dynasty.

Jia Zheng laughed, "Shouldn't my niece also call Brother Zhizhai 'Uncle'?"

He Shen's face almost twisted.

Uncle …?

What kind of seniority was this?

However, when he thought about it, there didn't seem to be anything wrong.

After all, he had been friends with Jia Yucun and Lin Ruhai in the past. Of these two, the former was a smart person, while the latter was a wise gentleman. Neither of them looked down on him because of his young age.

Especially Lin Ruhai, who had exchanged many letters with him. They didn't seem like elders and juniors, but more like good friends.

Although He Shen wasn't very satisfied with this title, he thought about it. If he wanted to meet Daiyu as his uncle, it would be much easier than meeting Daiyu as an equal.

If the former was an elder meeting a junior, it wouldn't be inappropriate.

However, if the latter was a man meeting a woman in his harem, it would be very inappropriate for a man to meet a woman in his harem.

Thinking of this, He Shen's dissatisfaction with this title was completely gone.

He also laughed, "That's right.

I should also take care of her a little. "

Jia Zheng waved his hand, "That's my niece. In Rongguo Province, of course I won't let her suffer."

Is that so?

He Shen didn't take Jia Zheng's words to heart at all.

Although Jia Zheng controlled the power of Rongguo Province, how could he spare the time to care about the harem?

Although his niece was close, he wouldn't let Jia Zheng take care of her too much.

He Shen laughed again, "Of course.

But I should also take care of her, so that I won't let the Imperial Censor down. "

Jia Zheng didn't see He Shen's distrust at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "Why don't Brother Zhizhai send someone to take a look?"

He Shen nodded and called Liu Quan over, "You go and take a look at your sister."

Jia Zheng was slightly surprised, "This is …?"

"It's a coincidence.

The maid serving Miss Lin is actually the long-lost sister of my long-lost servant.

I found her a few years ago, but we were separated in two different places, so we never met. "

Jia Zheng laughed loudly and said, "What a coincidence!

Then let's go and take a look.

Then Brother Zhizhai can know how my niece is doing. "

After saying this, Jia Zheng gave a few orders to the servant beside him, and the servant took Liu Quan over.

Liu Quan naturally couldn't enter the harem, but he could call out the Xue Yan.

For He Shen, this was enough to achieve his goal.
