Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 22 Jia Xiaosan, do you like my king's bird?

Zhongshun Prince Liu Ke, the No. 13 son of the Supreme Emperor, the biggest dude in the capital, besides fighting eagles and dogs every day, he listens to music and sings operas, and helps the common people in the capital to clean the streets.

Liu Ke has a bad reputation among relatives, nobles and officials, and privately poured all the sewage that could be detained on Liu Ke's body.Such bad reputations as dandyism, lack of filial piety, oppression of kindness, robbery of women and even raising boys, good masculinity, etc. have long spread throughout the capital.

Of course, everyone who understands understands that Liu Ke is actually the most close family prince in the hearts of the people. His greatest pleasure is to squat on the street and find out the children of honorable officials who oppress the people and hang them up and beat them.

At the top, he can sit high in the Huatang hall and talk with relatives and dignitaries, and at the bottom, he can squat on the street with his hands and chat with the traffickers and pawns. This is Liu Ke, the king of Zhongshun, the extremely distinctive Great Xia clan.

Liu Ke, who was leaning on the red building downstairs, took the saber from the guard, poked Huo Qiu who had just climbed to the bank and panted with the scabbard, glanced at the guards of the Huo family who were blocked by the guards, and smiled: "This is not ours!" Second master of the Huo family, come, blow bubbles for me!"

puff……

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but Huo Qiu, who was full of water in the lake, spit out a mouthful of water when Liu Ke said to spit bubbles.

The lake water mixed with the smell of alcohol made Liu Ke pinch his nose and avoid it. The paper fan in his hand snapped open, and he said disgustedly: "Such a big person can't even spit out a bubble. It's better for the master to be in the house." The koi raised here!"

puff……

This time Huo Qiu finally spit out the blood that was pressing on his throat, blowing out red bubbles.

"Hey, that's right, what's the use of those in the lake who can't blow bubbles. Here, then, take it to buy fish food for your grandfather!"

Liu Ke seemed very satisfied with the bloody bubble that Huo Qiu blew, and threw a small piece of broken silver towards the Huo family's guards, laughed and walked up the Yihong Building.

Jia Cong watched the whole process while lying on the railing, and he fell in admiration of Liu Keming's skill in sarcasm.

He raised his head and asked Jia Lian beside him: "Second Brother, is this Prince Zhongshun? He is too fierce!"

Jia Lian nodded solemnly, rubbed his big hands on Jia Cong's small head, and warned in a low voice, "We can't afford to offend this guy, it's better to stay away."

Although Jia Lian didn't explain too much, Jia Cong could still taste something from his tone.

Before he could think about it, Liu Ke had already walked in waving a paper fan.

His gaze was very sharp, and he could already tell with just one glance at Jia Cong that this master was definitely not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

Liu Ke's face was full of sarcasm, he glanced at Wang Ren who shrank aside, and then said to Jia Zhen: "Jia Zhen, I heard that you have been crazy recently, forcing Yansui Town to let your caravan from Ningguo Mansion go. When did the checkpoint on Nine Sides become your Jia family's?"

With just one sentence, Jia Zhen's throat was pinched, and he was almost out of breath.

With a thud, Jia Zhen knelt down on the ground, shouting for grievances repeatedly: "My lord, no minister, this is slander..."

"Slander? Hehe. You wait to explain it to the Dragon Guards and see if they believe it or not."

Jia Cong moved a grand master's chair to Liu Ke's side, Liu Ke patted Jia Cong's head, and sat down on the grand master's chair with a golden sword.

Then he took the birdcage from the guard and started teasing him, ignoring Jia Zhen who was still complaining, but talking to Jia Lian and his brothers.

……

"Spit bubbles, spit bubbles!"

In the cage is a parrot with colorful feathers, babbling.

Jia Cong is playful, secretly looking at Liu Ke who is chatting with Jia Lian, while stretching out his finger to poke the chubby parrot.

"Then the music and the dance!"

"Ok?"

This parrot is worthy of being raised by Zhongshun King Liu Ke!
The excited Jia Cong forgot that the bird was not his own, and began to tease the parrot in the cage, wanting to hear what it would say.

Suddenly, an unknown question came from my ear: "Jia Cong, are you not afraid of me?"

what?
Jia Cong, caught upright by the bird owner, quickly withdrew his finger, and stood up obediently to be his own obedient baby.

He shook his head and replied with a sincere face: "My lord is not a man-eating beast, why should I be afraid?"

Liu Ke chuckled, and asked again: "Which family in the capital is not afraid of me, but afraid of being hung on a tree and whipped by me, aren't you afraid?"

Jia Cong asked back in surprise: "Aren't those who were hanged up by the prince and whipped bad people who oppressed goodness? I didn't do anything illegal and disciplined, so why would the prince beat me?"

"Interesting, interesting. Brother Huang said you are a wonderful person. When I saw you today, you are indeed an interesting person."

Liu Ke seemed to be very interested in Jia Cong. He pinched Jia Cong's round face and asked a few more insignificant questions before turning the topic back to today's affairs.

"Jia Lian, your performance today impresses me. Do you want to be the commander of my guards?"

Liu Ke's invitation came very suddenly and surprisingly.

According to the system of the Great Xia, the Prince's Mansion has a Prince's Mansion Guard Department, with one official of the fifth rank of guards, two deputy guards of the fifth rank, and six officers of the sixth rank.

The commander of the guards in his mouth actually refers to Yi Weizheng of the fifth rank, who is in charge of the five or 600 personal guards of the palace.

Of course, the power is limited to the Zhongshun Palace, which belongs to the officials of the Palace, which is a good channel for promotion.

In the past, Jia Lian would probably have agreed.After all, Prince Zhongshun's mansion is the most favored brother of the current emperor. Not only did he bestow upon him the Prince's Mansion, which occupies half an area, but he also bestowed him with a food town far surpassing that of other clans.

As long as he curry favor with Liu Ke, there will be plenty of opportunities to soar into the sky in the future.

But he thought of the vicissitudes of the past few days, and the vigilance in his heart was raised to an incomparable height.

Jia Lian bowed and replied: "Thank you, my lord, for your attention. Unfortunately, my father has arranged an errand for me. I will go to the south of the Yangtze River with my father in a few days. I have no choice but to miss my lord's grace."

Liu Ke didn't fly into a rage as he imagined, instead he clicked his tongue meaningfully, got up and was about to leave.

But he seemed to remember something, turned around to look at Jia Cong, and asked with a smile: "Jia Xiaosan, do you like this king's bird?"

This question is ambiguous!
No matter what Jia Cong was thinking in his heart, his face was full of sincerity.He nodded his head violently: "Mm, um, your parrot is so interesting, it can even sing!"

"I like it, but it's a pity that this king has developed feelings, so I can't give it to you."

Liu Ke untied the jade pendant from his waist and threw it to Jia Cong: "Take this jade pendant and come to my palace some other day, and I will pick one for you. The majestic man of the duke's mansion doesn't fight like an eagle. Even if the dog is a dandy, he will be sorry for the blood flowing on your body!"

Jia Cong quickly took the jade pendant thrown over, but before he could react from his surprise, Liu Ke's figure had disappeared.

This master came and went in a hurry, except to scare Jia Zhen, he seemed to have done nothing, and he seemed to have done everything.

Jia Cong and Jia Lian looked at each other, not knowing how to express their feelings.
