I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion

Jia Cheng was going out, which was a big deal for Mrs. Xing, so she dressed Jia Cheng up solemnly.

Although it is summer now, Jia Cheng is dressed as if for Chinese New Year, wearing all red and looking like a big red envelope.

But Jia Cheng has very fair skin and looks good in red.

Mrs. Xing asked her maid to braid Jia Cheng's hair into a beautiful braid and put a small jade crown on him. She was just short of putting a red dot on his forehead with rouge.

Jia Cheng couldn't stand this excessive dressing and quickly dodged his mother's harsh hand to force the flowers to bloom.

"Mom, I don't want to wear makeup. I'm a man."

Madam Xing lovingly covered Jia Cheng's face, "You are still a child, what kind of man are you."

Jia Cheng broke free from Mrs. Xing's grip, hugged Jia She's legs and urged him to go out quickly.

If it had been any later, he suspected that Mrs. Xing would have put rouge and blush on him and dressed him up as a little girl to send him out.

Jia She laughed heartily when he saw Jia Cheng’s panic-stricken look. He thought his son was very cute and he wanted to take him out to show off.

He picked up Jia Cheng and went out. Madam Xing was still behind him reminding him, "Master, you must hold Brother Cheng in your arms all the time. This is his first time going out."

Jia She didn't even turn his head and said, "I understand." Then he led a group of people out the door in a mighty manner.

He felt that if Jia Cheng could still get lost with so many people around, it was definitely because these people were incompetent.

Mrs. Xing watched the father and son leave. Wang Shanbao supported Mrs. Xing and said, "Madam, please go back to the house. It's a good thing that the master is taking Cheng out with him."

Mrs. Xing smiled and nodded, "Who would have thought that the master has changed so much? A month ago he ignored Shuanbao, but now he can't leave him even for a moment."

Mrs. Xing was somewhat proud. The son she gave birth to was a god, so who could not like him?

Wang Shanbao's wife flattered, "Our Third Master Cheng is so cute and smart, who can not like him?

The master really cares about the third master, but he didn't teach the second master Lian anything."

Housekeeper Wang Shanbao had been with Mrs. Xing for the longest time, so she naturally knew what she liked to hear.

Mrs. Xing has always been resentful towards her original wife, Zhang. She cannot compete with a dead person, nor can she compete with Zhang's position in Jia She's heart.

But now her son has defeated Zhang's son, which made Mrs. Xing feel relieved.

When Mrs. Xing heard what Wang Shanbao said, she felt proud. Since Brother Cheng had been valued by the master, her status as the eldest wife had also risen.

The servants in the house were even more dedicated, and Jia She gave her money to spend from time to time. This was the life she expected.

Such a good life was brought by Jia Cheng, and Mrs. Xing's favorability towards Jia Cheng is almost close to 100.

On the other side, Jia She held Jia Cheng in his arms, got on the sedan chair, left Rongguo Mansion, and came to the bustling street.

Jia Cheng was curious about everything he looked at. He would take a second look at the street stalls and the people walking on the road.

He is looking at the passers-by to find out if there are people with great luck among them so that he can absorb the luck quickly.

He wanted to open the system mall as soon as possible, looking at that 99% was really annoying.

However, most of the pedestrians on the roadside were ordinary people with little luck, so he didn't dare to go up and rub shoulders with them.

The life of ordinary people is hard enough already. If they lose that rare luck, they might be in big trouble. He can't do such a bad thing.

Jia Cheng activated his golden finger and scanned the identities and favorability of the passers-by one by one. He found that many ordinary people had a high favorability rating from the beginning when they saw a noble young man like him.

Maybe everyone was conquered by his good looks, Jia Cheng thought to himself.

The system changed its entity at this time and turned into a gray sparrow following Jia Cheng's sedan chair.

Jia Cheng looked at the busy streets and didn't want to sit in the sedan chair anymore, so he pestered Jia She to go out for a walk.

Jia She now obeyed Jia Cheng's words and got off the sedan chair holding Jia Cheng.

"Shuanbao, tell me what you like and I'll buy it for you."

Jia Cheng's big watery eyes stared curiously at the dazzling array of stalls, full of yearning for those folk trinkets.

"Dad, I want to see that jewelry stall."

Jia She carried Jia Cheng to a stall selling all wooden jewelry. Most of them were ordinary wooden hairpins, wooden combs and wooden carvings, which were not to Jia She's liking at all.

The stall owner saw a man holding a little golden boy coming to his stall and he was shaking with excitement. This must be a big fat sheep.

"Master, young master, what do you want to buy? These are all ornaments carved by my father. They are polished very smoothly and have no wood splinters."

Jia Cheng glanced at the stall and took a fancy to a plum blossom hairpin and a wooden comb carved with bamboo.

He dug out a piece of silver from his small purse and handed it to the stall owner, "I want these two."

The stall owner took the silver and was a little embarrassed. "Young Master, these two items only cost 20 copper coins. You gave too much. Do you want to pick some more? Otherwise, I won't be able to make the change."

Jia Cheng had never spent any money since he came to this world, and had no idea of ​​the purchasing power of silver. He had tried his best to pick a small piece, but he did not expect that the purchasing power was still amazing.

He thought of Lady Jia and Jia Baoyu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. These two people had great luck, but he hadn't seen them for a long time. It would be better to buy some folk items and take the opportunity of giving gifts to get some luck.

Thinking of this, Jia Cheng asked Jia She with a smile, "Dad, what does the old lady like? I want to bring a gift back to her. And Baoyu, Baoyu was injured last time, and I haven't seen him for a long time. I want to pick a gift for him too."

Jia Cheng counted on his fingers, thinking that his trip should not be in vain, and he should bring some gifts to the maids and old women in the yard. These were the people around him and he had to bribe them.

Jia She listened to Jia Cheng counting the gifts he brought for everyone on his fingers, and said sourly: "Shuanbao only thinks about buying gifts for others?"

Jia Cheng knew his father was jealous, so he picked up the comb carved with bamboo and said, "Dad, this comb and that hairpin are gifts I bought for you and mom. Shuanbao still has money in his purse. I will buy you many good things later."

Jia Cheng's childish words made Jia She feel happy.

When he heard what his beloved son said, he happily bounced Jia Cheng up twice and laughed so hard that he couldn't stop.

He bought everything on the stall in a hurry, and asked the servant behind him to pay. He left a servant here to get the things, and he continued to carry Jia Cheng while shopping.

Along the way, whatever Jia Cheng liked, Jia She would buy it for him.

By noon, Jia Cheng was a little hungry, so Jia She took him to Taibai Tower, the most luxurious restaurant in the capital, for dinner.

As soon as he walked in, he was spotted by a pair of brothers in a private room. The young man in his 20s said to the steady-looking man in his 30s next to him, "Fourth brother, do you think that's Jia She from Rongguo Mansion?"

The man called Fourth Brother glanced outside and nodded gently, "It's him."

The young man who was speaking was Kangxi's thirteenth son Yinxiang, and the man he called fourth brother was Yinzhen, now the Prince of Yong.

Yinxiang touched his chin and looked at Jia She with a group of people walking into the private room with some curiosity, "Fourth brother, I heard that Jia She stays in Rongguo Mansion every day and doesn't go out, as if he is afraid of causing trouble, why did he come out today.

He also brought these people with him to his death. Look at the child in his arms. He is so cute. Is he his son? How come I have never heard of him? "

Yinzhen was not very interested in Jia She. In his opinion, the people in Rongguo Mansion were a bunch of good-for-nothings, and Jia She was one of them.

Rongguo Mansion has no value, and he will not pay attention to the people in Rongguo Mansion.

Jia She originally followed the prince. At that time, he could still be considered a young talent and had some value.

However, the Rongguo Mansion declined too quickly. After the death of Lady Fengsheng, the Emperor's affection for the Rongguo Mansion gradually faded. When Jia Daishan also passed away, the Emperor no longer had any affection for the Rongguo Mansion.

The fall of the crown prince made the situation of Rongguo Mansion even worse, and now Rongguo Mansion is just a name.

Yinzhen was not at all interested in the child in Jia She's arms. The child was indeed very pretty, cute and eye-catching, but he had seen so many good-looking people that a child had no appeal to him at all.

Yinzhen knocked on the table and told Yinxiang not to focus on irrelevant people. They came out today mainly to keep an eye on the ninth prince Yin'er.

Recently, Yinzhen had been competing with the people for profit, which had made Kangxi very angry. Yinzhen thought this was a good opportunity to strike a blow at his opponent, so he and Shisan went out in person to check out the situation.

Ever since the crown prince fell, the court has been in chaos, and many ministers want to nominate their favorite prince to the throne.

But Kangxi is in good health now, and what he hates most is forming factions for personal gain. But even so, he cannot stop those ministers from taking sides.

This secretly gave rise to the eldest prince's faction and the third prince's faction.

Some people are optimistic about the Fourth Prince. After all, he is the adopted son of the Imperial Noble Consort, and his status is the most honorable except that of the Crown Prince.

However, Yinzhen did not dare to reveal his ambition. He used to be the right-hand man trained by the Emperor's father for the Crown Prince. Now that the Crown Prince has fallen, he did not dare to form his own faction immediately, otherwise he would be feared by the Emperor's father.

He only dared to accumulate strength in secret and wait for the opportunity.

In addition to the Fourth Prince's supporters, the Eighth Prince also has some loyal fans.

Although the Eighth Prince always followed his eldest brother, he won the love of many ministers with his courteous and humble style and gentle attitude.

In addition, he was followed by the ninth prince Yinzhen, born to Concubine Yi of the Guoluoluo clan, and the tenth prince Yin'e, born to Concubine Niuhulu, so he also attracted the support of several big families.

It’s just that the Eighth Prince has not yet set up his own family and still follows his eldest brother’s lead.

Yinzhen targeted the Ninth Prince in order to use him to attack the First Prince's faction and then demonstrate his brotherhood with the deposed Crown Prince.

Yinzhen finally understood that his royal father still had deep feelings for the deposed crown prince.

The Emperor was afraid that the Crown Prince would replace him, but at the same time he could not let go of the father-son affection he had for the Crown Prince for so many years.

Yinzhen understood from a young age that the emperor's sons were divided into two types: one was the crown prince, and the other was other sons and ministers.

The Emperor Father did not regard them as pure sons at all. In any case, all the princes put together could not compare to the importance of the Crown Prince in the Emperor Father's heart.

Even if the Emperor and the Crown Prince had a rift at this moment, Yinzhen had this intuition that one day the two would be reconciled.

Seeing how much favor the crown prince's eldest illegitimate son Hongxi enjoys with the emperor, and the emperor's recent attention to the crown prince, Yinzhen knows that the possibility of reconciliation between father and son is increasing?

I just don’t know when the emperor will release the prince.

Yinzhen was thinking about how he would use the Ninth Prince's ridiculous behavior to attack his eldest brother, and he didn't take the little episode involving Jia She and his group to heart at all.
