Jia She, the local tyrant of the Red Chamber

It is said that Mrs. Tong Xi, the inspector of the Qintian Supervisor, suddenly sent a gift to the Rongguo Mansion, apparently to congratulate Jia Zhuo on his second birthday, and there was a small piece of paper in the gift list, saying that Yanqing County produced a laying rooster.When Jia Lian heard about it, he went to consult with his father.

Jia Amnesty was lighting up the lamp to prepare for the lesson, when he saw him flustered, he asked what was the matter.

Jia Lian then showed the piece of paper to his father and told the story.

Jia She frowned, "Qin Tianjian, isn't that the place where the emperor's fortune is told?"

Jia Lian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Father, those are the ones who observe the celestial phenomena, deduce the solar terms, and formulate the calendar. It's just that if there are strange things, they often ask them to calculate the cause."

Jia She asked, "They can figure it out, so what does Zhao Hulu do?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao calculates for ordinary people, and eminent monks calculate for saints."

"Is the Qin Tianjian not lucky?" Jia She asked.

Jia Lian said: "For no reason, who is going to find someone to tell their fortune? There must be some reason."

Jia Amnesty nodded: "Understood, the rooster that lays eggs, the Qin Tianjian, and the fortune-telling eminent monk, Gao Dao, can coax the saint to be obstinate."

Jia Lian couldn't help laughing: "Father! Don't say it so truthfully." Yin said, "I thought, since that year I took the blame for my second sister..." As he spoke, he glanced at his father, and Jia Amnesty just ignored him. laugh. "That's why this incident has damaged the reputation of the Tong family's female family members. They haven't had much contact with our house since then. They suddenly sent such a gift and included such a thing. If it's not complete, someone wants to plot against our family."

Jia She patted him on the shoulder: "You're much smarter, kid. Don't ask, we're just being obstinate, but we're just trying to hide it. I don't know who bribed the Qin Tianjian, so that the old man can get to the bottom of it. Everyone knows Entu Bao, came here to remind us."

Seeing that his father was smiling all over his face, Jia Lian thought he had an idea, so he asked for advice respectfully.

Jia She said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, I'll keep it a secret."

Jia Lian was relieved when he heard the words. Although he was curious, he had to go back to the yard honestly.

A few days later it will be Jia Zhuo's second birthday, and the Rongguo Mansion took advantage of this to invite a day of theater and wine.Fearing that Jia's mother would be too self-satisfied in front of the guests because of the matter of the eleventh prince, Jia Amnesty also asked her to keep a low profile by using the excuse of "princes fighting".Jia Mu laughed and said, "Although I am old, I have never been confused." Jia Amnesty said a few compliments and withdrew, and immediately asked Qi Zhou to go to his study quietly.

After a while, the person sent came back with a smile: "Master Qi and General Jiang are just fighting billiards in the ear room next to the master's study."

Jia Amnesty muttered a few times, "I know you are stubborn", and rushed over.

The two of them are busy with their own business these days, but they haven't been together for a long time.At this time, the fight is evenly matched and inextricably linked.When Jia Amnesty came, of course he would point fingers at the side first, seeing that he was deaf to both of them, so he talked about the piece of paper sent by Tong's family a few days ago.

Jiang Wu was stunned for a moment: "Qin Tian Jian Supervisor Zheng Hu is not like a man who is willing to be manipulated by others."

Jia She smiled wryly: "You don't need to ask, most of the people behind the scenes are surnamed Situ, or are related to him. I just provoked a little Wu, he must not have the ability. Besides, those princes think they are happy to see it happen."

Qi Zhou hit a shot and said: "I don't think any of those princes have this ability."

Jiang Wu thought for a while, took the pole and walked around the other side of the table to aim, and said, "If it's true, Mr. Hu may be fooled. But what are you going to do now?" Putt out.

Jia She said with a smile: "We all know that someone may be plotting, so it's easy to handle, but I don't know who is plotting and what is going on behind the scenes, and I feel uncomfortable."

Qi Zhou raised his pole and smiled at Jia She: "Now the loyal prince still visits your Sanwei Bookstore?"

Jia She said: "Go, go often, no one has notified him of his entry into my office, and he often chats with me about palace gossip."

Qi Zhou said: "This person is well-informed, why not ask him to find out."

Jia She was taken aback: "Then I have to owe him a favor again."

Qi Zhou said with a smile: "The big deal is to find an opportunity for you to pay him back in the future."

"That's right!" Jia Amnesty slapped his hands, "You can create opportunities even if you don't have them."

Jiang Wu clicked his tongue twice, and circled around Qi Zhou: "Xiao Qi, you are becoming more and more unkind."

Qi Zhou arched his hands: "Compared to your elder brother, you are still a bit inferior."

The three of them discussed the meeting again, and then someone came outside to invite them to say that it was time to start the meeting, so they went out.Jia Amnesty went up first and then personally went to see the guest with his grandson in his arms.

Jia Zhuo is Jia Lian's biggest headache now, worse than Xiao Yezi.Although Xiao Ye Zi refuses to learn needlework, Sister Feng can control her as Jia She is not at home, but Jia Zhuo makes his grandfather very self-willed.

What kind of clothes to wear on weekdays, what the wet nurse said would not count, he had to choose by himself.It's fine if he picks well, he often picks out clothes that don't match at all.Once the wet nurse insisted on dressing him in clothes he didn't like, so he sued while paying his respects to his grandfather.Jia Shen didn't care about letting him go back to the house to change into the clothes he loved. He looked like he was running a clothing store, but luckily he didn't go out to meet customers.And because he was often stubborn in the game room covered with mattresses, he would lie on the ground when he came out and had nothing to do outside, regardless of whether the ground was clean or not.If the action is not satisfactory at all, he will cry and make a lot of noise. Once Jia Amnesty is disturbed, he will scold others regardless of right or wrong. Only his eldest grandson is the best.Linlin like this is too numerous to enumerate.

Jia Lian often sighed with Sister Feng: "It's better not to be like cousin Xue in the future."

Sister Feng's Liu Mei stood upside down and said angrily, "Can that boy compare with my son?"

Jia Zhuo is wearing a teddy bear baby outfit today, with a cute white bun face.He was insane again, seeing that there were so many guests today, he waved his little paws indiscriminately.Occasionally, both his grandparents and grandchildren look pleasing to the eye, and they are generous enough to let them hug them.Whenever someone gave him a small purse, he would thank him sweetly and kiss him on the face.He was so happy that many old men gave him three or four purses, and Jia Xiaozhuo's private property increased a lot.

For a while, Jia Zhuo was carried to the female relatives, and the male guests talked about various anecdotes in Beijing.One of them laughed and said, "I heard a strange thing a few days ago. There was a family in Yanqing County whose big rooster actually laid eggs."

Everyone felt that it was new, so they hurriedly asked.

But the man waved his hand and said, "I just heard what people said, and I don't know if it's true or not." In fact, I heard it from someone outside when I went to the toilet.He is Jia Lian's colleague. Because of his long tongue, he speaks out before others.

Hearing this, Jia She suddenly burst out laughing.Everyone hurriedly asked him what he was laughing at, and Jia She said: "I just remembered an interesting story." Yin laughed, "Actually, roosters lay eggs in ancient and modern times, all over the world, but they are magical creations, and sometimes they doze off. Han During the dynasty, there was a woman who married and had children, and after a few years, she became a man!"

Qi Zhou smiled and said, "But Zhao Shou's daughter?"

Jia She glared at him and said, "I know I haven't read much, but I've only heard about this incident. How can I remember so much?"

Qi Zhou laughed and said, "It's not the Han Dynasty, it's the Sixteen Kingdoms, from the Houyan Dynasty."

Jia She simply turned his head and ignored him. "This is the coexistence of yin and yang in this human body. Although it is rare in the world, it has been seen several times in historical materials. It must have existed in the Han Dynasty, but it may not be recorded in the "Han Shu"."

Everyone laughed, but Qi Zhou shook his head and remained silent.

Jia Amnesty said again: "Since there are people, there are also livestock. But it's just not known to people, and it's strange for those with little knowledge. When that gentleman said it just now, I suddenly remembered. When I was young, my teacher once said It’s a joke about the Roman state in the west a thousand years ago.”

Many people at the banquet knew him as Mr. Stranger, who had a comprehensive overview of ancient and modern China and foreign countries.After hearing this, he immediately calmed down.Only Jiang Zhao was present, quietly winking at Jia She.

"The people of the country, from the monarch to the subjects, believe in a kind of 'Christianity'. They believe that their gods are omnipotent, that their temples are blessed by gods, and that their monks can communicate with gods. But then there are many sorcerers in their country, and the people of the country are very afraid But he is stupid and ignorant..." As he spoke, Jia Amnesty glanced at the crowd at the banquet, and seeing the expressions on their faces, he secretly smiled.While quietly praying to God: Brother, I have been plotted against and have no choice but to temporarily demote your family to the Holy See to give these people a sense of superiority.Anyway, I didn't wrong them, don't blame your old man, Amen!

"It just so happened that a rooster laying eggs in a farmer's house! The farmer was terrified, thinking that the rooster was transformed by a sorcerer, and hurriedly sent it to the temple to deal with the monks. The monks in their county had a meeting around the rooster. Zifa, but he couldn't deal with it, so he tied up the chicken, not daring to be short of water and food, and sent it to the highest royal temple quickly, and handed it over to the national teacher and his disciples. In the end, it was a group of the best of the teaching. The eminent monk tied the rooster to a ritual vessel and interrogated him for several days!" As he spoke, Jia She couldn't help laughing again, "No matter how harshly they reprimanded them, how much they threatened and lured them, the rooster was only willing to say one thing. Words." He stopped, just drank and shook his head.

When others saw that he was playing tricks, they hurriedly begged him to tell him what the word was.

Jia She asked: "Have you ever heard how a rooster crows?"

Someone said: "Naturally it's 'Woooooh'."

Jia She said seriously, "Roman roosters crowed like this a thousand years ago."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood.That's just an ordinary cock!Thousands of years ago, the Romans were ignorant and unaware of the existence of yin and yang in the world, so they made a group of eminent monks surround an ordinary rooster to interrogate and threaten and lure.How ignorant, how interesting!There was a burst of laughter at the table.

Jiang Wu couldn't help asking: "What happened to the rooster in the end?"

Jia She said: "I chose an auspicious day in front of all the people in the capital." He deliberately paused, took a sip of his wine before saying, "It's cooked on the fire."

Unknowingly, everyone burst into laughter again.

Jiang Wuyou laughed so hard that he was speechless for a long time while pointing at him.

This time, whoever takes down the eggs and cocks to make a fuss will be as ignorant as that ignorant foreigner.If the leading sage makes a fuss about this matter, the more leading the sage has no insight.

A few days later, Situ Yuan visited Sanwei Bookstore again.Jia Amnesty had been waiting for him, and when he came in, he handed him a piece of paper.

Situ Yuan was a little strange, took it over and took a look, but it was about half the size of a palm, and it was an ordinary bamboo paper with three "favor cards" written on it, so he looked at him suspiciously.

Jia Amnesty said seriously, "There are more words after that."

Situ Yuan turned the paper over, and there was a line of small words on the reverse side, "The holder of this card can get Jia's pardon once." He couldn't help laughing.

Jia She said with a smile, "Do me a favor."

Situ Yuan smiled and asked what was the matter.

Jia She said: "A while ago there was a laying rooster in Yanqing County."

Situ Yuan smiled and said, "I've heard of this before, and now the joke about your foreign monk roasting chicken has spread all over the capital."

Jia She said: "That's because I got the news that someone wanted to use this rooster to hook up with Qin Tianjian, and it might harm me. So I eliminated it first. I just don't know who it is. I heard that Qin Tianjian Mr. Hu is not a good person to be bribed."

Situ Yuan frowned: "I have never heard of it."

Jia She said with a snort, "It means that he is more sophisticated than you."

Situ Yuan took a look at the "favor card" and said, "Since you entrusted me, I will investigate for you."

Jia She nodded: "Please, that card is ready."

Situ Yuan smiled again: "Naturally." Sure enough, he took the card in his arms and left.

He still doesn't know that this favor card actually saved his life in the future.

Jia Amnesty trusted his investigative ability quite a bit, so he prepared lessons with peace of mind.

Seeing the twelfth lunar month, the weather is getting colder.Sanwei Bookstore is also on winter vacation, and Jia She will never leave the house if there is nothing to do.If you often complain about being too cold when you have a visitor, you will always find a way to go back to the house and make it warmer next year.

On this day, the Qi Mansion sent a post, it turned out that Qi's father had returned to vulgarity a month ago, and now he just returned home, Qi Zhou wanted to hold a small banquet for a few people to gather together to celebrate.

After one or two years of separation, Jia Amnesty still missed the old man, so he ordered someone to prepare a gift.

Wang Xifeng also heard that Mr. Qi's old father had been abducted to be a Taoist priest for more than ten years. He also knew that Mr. Qi was no longer the accountant of his own mansion, and he had prepared a complete set of things.She made a list of the gifts, deliberated for a while, and then sent someone to show it to her father-in-law.The people who went there not long ago replied that they had already left the list to Wang En, and the master walked his horse to visit the door first.

In the past two years, Qi's father traveled all over the country with the idiot, and he became much tanned and healthy.The smile on Qi Zhou's face overflowed early.

Jia Amnesty entered the courtyard of their house, looked at the tall and straight bonsai with twists and turns, and laughed: "Qi Zhou has only made one creative bonsai in his life, and the rest are similar to what the old man made."

Father Qi laughed and said, "I heard that you still keep that ball?"

Jia She nodded: "Naturally, that is called geometric art. I make people trim it every day."

Father Qi shook his head again and again, and invited him to the study alone.

It turned out that Qi's father passed by Taihu Lake a few months ago, which made Li Sanhao talk a lot.Li San has been having a hard time these days. The newly appointed Governor of Liangjiang is sending people to suppress bandits everywhere, and has killed many green forest heroes.Seeing that the branches and vines were almost finished, Li San always felt that he was already on other people's dishes.Therefore, Qi's father came to seek Jia Amnesty for advice.

When Jia Amnesty heard this, isn't this encirclement and suppression?After thinking for a while, he said, "The only thing that can do this is the golden cicada that has escaped its shell. Anyway, you have already calmed down the people around Taihu Lake over the years. Why don't you build an empty water village and pretend that the water bandits are all ordinary people and have some ordinary identities?" Moved out, but it’s easy to do anything if you keep the living. Then make some traces of going to sea, so that the officers and soldiers mistakenly think that the Taihu water bandits have sung an empty city plan and went to sea early.”

Qi's father shook his head and said: "How can they make it out of the water village? They immediately became fish on the shore."

Jia She said with a smile: "It's not that they are not going back to the water village. Now they are being targeted by others, isn't it because of their reputation? They are not short of money, and they haven't robbed for a long time. Now they are broken into parts, called Come from Yuzi, go back to Yuzi. How long can the officers and soldiers be there? At worst, Li San will lead them to travel to other provinces to see the mountains and rivers in other places. They will go back after they leave. Besides, as long as they don’t Naturally, the fishermen and merchants around would not sue the officials for robbery. If no one sued the officials, how would the government know that they had gone back? Even if they knew, they would just pretend to be a group of small water bandits. If you have enough energy to come back to encircle and suppress the little water bandits, it’s not worth it, and it’s not worth the effort. As a bandit, hiding your strength is the most important thing.”

Qi's father was dumbfounded: "You are a duke who knows a lot about bandits."

Jia She said quietly: "To tell the truth, old man, I always feel that these princes behind are unreliable. One day we have to rely on Li San, so don't let him be destroyed."

The author has something to say: The joke about burning the dead rooster comes from "The History of Devils".Ahhh, I got out~~~ A concubine can't do such things as quitting games. . . . . .
