The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that Jia Amnesty left half of the conversation to Jia Zheng, but Jia's mother asked people to inquire about it the next day, but there was no news, so they quietly ordered Yingchun to ask Jia Cong.Although Yingchun didn't know why, she was afraid that Jia Cong would cause trouble outside. After thinking about it for a long time, she ordered someone to call him over.

Jia Cong has always been a sister-in-law, and rushed away as soon as he heard the call.Seeing his sister sitting on the chair with frowning eyebrows, she stepped forward with a smile and asked, "What is sister worried about?"

Yingchun hurriedly stretched out her hand and pulled him closer and asked in a low voice, "Did you cause trouble outside?"

Jia Cong was taken aback: "Troubleshooting? What's the matter? I'm the best boy in the world, and I never make trouble. It's not Brother Baoyu."

Yingchun then whispered what Jiamu had said, and Jia Cong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.Yingchun glared at him and cursed: "I'm sweating in such a hurry, but you're still laughing! Come on!"

Jia Cong laughed and said, "My sister just said that you asked me for a long time and I didn't know anything."

Angrily, Yingchun raised her hand and gave him a chestnut: "Don't be vague, hurry up!"

Jia Cong hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Yes! Report back to your lord, it's all right!"

Yingchun still stared at him.

"Because I wanted to go to Chang'an with brother Rahwa, but why did I tell my second uncle about it for no reason? My father sincerely talked nonsense and set a hook for them, making them think that there was some reason why they had to go, so they didn't dare to stop me Let's go. Sister, don't forget that our ancestors didn't want us to associate with our aunt and grandma. She searched for you for half a day and couldn't find anything. There was nothing, where did she go to check?" Jia Cong smiled. Said, "Sister, our father is getting worse and worse, he looks more and more like me!"

Yingchun couldn't help laughing: "What are you talking about! The master has his own reasons, how can you understand at our age."

With a sound of "dong", Jia Cong laughed so hard that he couldn't get up on the coffee table, and stretched out his hands to give Yingchun a pair of thumbs.

Just at this moment, there is a chess player outside shouting: "Hello girls!" His siblings hurriedly stopped talking, but Daiyu Tanchun Xiangyun slipped in.Jia Cong was still lying on the coffee table and smiling, only stretched out his paw and waved: "Sisters, good luck~~"

Tanchun said with a smile, "What joke are you talking about? We also laughed."

Jia Cong said: "A wolf wandered outside the farmhouse in the evening, and heard the peasant woman scolding her son: If you cry again, I will throw you out the door to feed the wolf. The son is still crying. The wolf stays outside until dawn. When he didn't see the child, he wiped away his tears and left, cursing incessantly: Liars and women are all liars!"

The girls in the room suddenly burst into laughter, Xiangyun had already collapsed on the Yingchun Kang, Tanchun pointed at him and couldn't speak, Daiyu just lay on Tanchun, only Yingchun had the time to raise her hand to separate her. The coffee table knocked him.

After laughing for a while, Yingchun looked at them and asked with a smile: "You guys are all here, who sent you a post?"

Xiang Yun hurriedly said, "Second Sister, I have something to tell you. These days I was playing with Sister Xing's family, but she was actually bullied by those women in her room!"

Yingchun raised her eyebrows and stood up "teng": "What did you say!"

Xiangyun said: "She also has two taels of monthly money like us, because she has to set aside one tael for her parents, and the remaining one tael is often not enough to please the old woman..." She suddenly realized that Yingchun His face was livid, and he was a little scared, so he dared not speak.

Half a day, Yingchun pinched the handkerchief and sneered: "Okay, okay. The more charitable the more the more rebellious, and even bullied relatives. How many years does the talent in this mansion change? It's just like those famous and respectable people who lived for several lifetimes back then. Yes. Sure enough, the world is as black as crows."

Tan Chunyin said, "Sister, what do you think?"

Yingchun said indifferently: "Are you afraid that no one will do the job of serving the girl in the yard? Just kick them out."

Tanchun hesitated and said, "It's just that this is a bit of a big deal."

Daiyu said: "Why does the third girl have the same temperament as the second sister now? She was afraid of wolves and tigers later. It's just a matter of dismissing a few women. It's their fault. Naturally, the second sister should be punished as she likes. "

Tanchun said: "I'm afraid that girl Xing may not be safe in her heart, she is always a guest, won't she become more and more uncomfortable after making trouble like this?"

Jia Cong said: "If you don't dismiss those women and sisters, will you live in peace? I guess the intention of the third sister is to teach them a lesson or two, so that they will no longer bully sister Xing. It's just that they have already bullied sister Xing, if they still They, even if they are not so arrogant, they will not be much better. It is a trivial matter, but it is the biggest matter for slaves to bully their masters and servants." Nai turned to look at Yingchun.

Yingchun said lightly: "At this moment, I can't care about what girl Xing thinks, I just go to comfort her in person later. She is a guest after all, and it has nothing to do with her that I send my servants away. There are no rules, no rules. Fangyuan, everything else is not as important as this."

Daiyu clapped her hands and said, "That's right, Second Sister's words are very kind."

Tanchun smiled lightly and said, "Forget it, Second Sister is indeed different from the past, she has a bit of Lian's Second Sister-in-law style."

Jia Cong also said with a smile: "The so-called seeking government in her position, my sister's decisiveness in killing and attacking now is also the result of her daily life. It's just that my sister is better than the second sister-in-law."

Several people laughed and said: "Forget it, your sister is the only one who is the best in the world."

Yingchun couldn't help laughing, so she called Siqi over, and ordered the three women in Xingxiu's smoke house to be brought in for questioning.

Xiangyun hurriedly said, "Aren't you going to kick him out? What else are you asking?"

Yingchun said: "Even if they are [-] percent wrong, they can't just listen to your side of the story, they have to listen to both sides."

Xiangyun stomped his feet and said, "Sister thinks I've wronged them? How about I invite Sister Xing to testify?" Then he walked out.

Daiyu hastened to hold her back: "Young girl Yun is still so impatient, she can't bear it for a while. Since the second sister is Bao Qingtian, she must follow the rules when handling cases. She herself believes in you, but it is necessary to be in court. Ask this section."

Xiangyun said: "Since you believe in me, why bother with it? Wouldn't it be better to just dismiss it?"

Yingchun said: "If you don't listen to the advice of the duo, how can there be an unjust case among ten thousand cases? Didn't that person die unjustly?"

Xiangyun couldn't help being stunned, and said after a long time: "Why is the second sister like an official?"

Several people laughed again.

At that moment, the three women came over and all swore that there would be no such thing. Tanchun and Daiyu's casual words made them full of loopholes, so Yingchun decided to send them away, and sent Siqi to Li Wan's room to return to her.Li Wan heard about it and said, "Forget it, it's clean to throw it out." Yingchun went to Xingxiu's smoke house to apologize to her, persuaded her for a long time, and then transferred three proper women to serve her.Shi Xiangyun was stunned to watch all the way, extremely envious, and sighed: "I usually only think of my second sister as a good-natured sister, and I don't want to be so straightforward and decisive." , knowledgeable".

On the other side, although Jia's mother could not find out what was going on, it was exactly as Jia Amnesty had expected. She did not dare to stop Jia Cong from going to Chang'an, but acquiesced in allowing Jia Huan to go with him.Jia Zheng then ordered someone to call Jia Huan.

He was holding a teacup and thinking about it.I just remembered it because I called Jia Huanlai today, as if I haven't seen this son for many days, and in the early years this son was appreciated by the virtuous king.I also remembered that when I saw that his clothes were not very good, I wondered if someone had treated him harshly, and I forgot when I wanted to check.Now that he has to stop his studies at a young age and go all the way to Chang'an, he feels a little guilty.Hearing the servants say that Mr. Huan is here, he quickly raised his head.When I saw this child, I was a little surprised.

Jia Huan was wearing a new Confucian robe, a square scarf, and a small folding fan hanging from his waist. He looked like a young boy.The description of his appearance is undoubtedly Jia Huan, but compared with the usual appearance of shrunken shoulders and bowed back, now with his head held high, his demeanor suddenly became extraordinary, and he couldn't help but praise: "Today, he looks like a kid from a rich family studying."

Jia Huan went forward to salute, and knowingly asked Jia Zheng why he was called here.

Jia Zheng coughed and said, "You have an old aunt, who is your grandfather's sister. She married the Gao family in Chang'an in her early years. She will have her [-]th birthday in two months. Someone in our family must come He Shou is."

Jia Huan nodded and said, "I heard from Cong'er that he went with Brother Baoyu."

Jia Zheng was embarrassed, and coughed again: "It's not convenient for Baoyu to be in the academy. Anyway, you learn to study at home, why don't you go away?"

Jia Huan was taken aback: "I'm going too? Isn't there no one around Mr.?"

Jia Zheng was also taken aback: "What sir?"

It turned out that Jia Huan discussed with Tanchun and others for several days, now that he is grown up, he should gradually go out to socialize after returning from Chang'an, and he no longer needs to hide his studies from Jia Zheng.He knelt down on both knees and said: "My son has been hiding something from the master. It is really because of helplessness. I hope the master will forgive me."

Jia Zheng ordered him to "speak quickly!"

Jia Huan said: "In the early years, my son fell in the eyes of Uncle Lin by chance. He entrusted me to Mr. Su Zheng of the Imperial Academy because he wanted to go south to do business. Now I have been worshiping under his old man's house for three years. I have long since stopped studying at home. I just found an excuse to go to Mr. Su's house to study every day."

Jia Zheng was overjoyed!No matter who Su Zheng is, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is famous as a Manchurian, but this son would have such an adventure! "Why didn't you tell me such a good thing?"

Jia Huan muttered, "I'm afraid my wife knows."

Jia Zheng was taken aback: "She will be happy when she finds out."

Jia Huan curled her lips: "Master, do you really believe that she will be happy when she finds out? I beg you to take pity on your poor son, and don't let her know, otherwise I don't even know that I can still go to school. As a aunt, she just finds an excuse. It's easy to fix me. I'm an ordinary talent. Uncle Lin and Mr. Su liked me only because I worked harder than others. If my wife asked me to copy the scriptures for her, I wouldn't have time to review the books. Or send me a few beautiful maids, even if I have no intentions, I will inevitably be disturbed by them. I beg the master not to tell the wife."

If he had said this a few years earlier, Jia Zheng would not have believed it.At this moment, Mrs. Wang caused troubles again and again over money, and Jia Zheng already hated her to the extreme.Jia Huan looked terrified again, and suddenly suspected that Mrs. Wang might be oppressing him a lot on weekdays.Nai said angrily: "Forget it, from now on you will not let her handle anything."

Jia Huan still muttered, "It's better not to tell her. I'm not afraid of stealing, but worrying about..."

Jia Zheng stared and shouted: "Nonsense!" Jia Huan made a face, Jia Zheng liked his tightness now, and suddenly felt cute.

Jia Huan said again: "I am willing to go to Chang'an. Mr. Su also said that if you have the opportunity, you must see the people's customs and customs. It doesn't matter whether you are in Beijing or a foreign official."

Jia Zheng was overjoyed, these words confirmed Jia Huan's future in the future!Therefore, he hesitated again: "I'm afraid you can't relax in your homework."

Jia Huan said: "It's only a few months, it doesn't matter. I'm still young, my talent is average, and my foundation is also weak. I don't want to take the exam too early. It's better to be safe."

This remark won Jia Zheng's heart very much, he couldn't help nodding his head and said: "Exactly. Since you know that your talent is ordinary, it would be best if you put in more hard work."

Jia Huan said with a smile, "don't worry, master. I know my own. I'm not as talented as brother Baoyu, but I can become a blockbuster. It's the right way to make a fortune."

Jia Zheng clapped his hands and praised: "Great kindness!" The more he looked at him, the more pleasing his eyes became, staring at him and smiling so much that his brows and eyes widened, and he even said "Okay, okay".Jia Huan couldn't stand it anymore.

Later, Jia Zheng didn't tell Mrs. Wang, not because he was afraid that she would wear small shoes for Jia Huan, but because he didn't want to see her and had no chance to talk about it.He hastily returned the matter to Jiamu.

At first, Jia's mother was surprised to hear that Jia Huan's husband was a great Confucian in the Imperial Academy, and complained that Lin Hai had such a good gentleman and didn't recommend him to Baoyu; , immediately nodded with a smile and said, "He's a solid-eyed child." Nai asked, "Since Mr. Su is willing to teach him, is he willing to teach Baoyu as well?"

Jia Zhengdao: "Baoyu went to the academy to experience more of the world. He has only been there for half a year. He will meet a few friends and be liked by their academy masters. So I think it's better to stay in the academy first. Next It won't be too late in two years, anyway Huan'er has already entered Master Su Zheng's sect."

It's all right for Jia's mother to think it's reasonable. Without the first day of the junior high school, there are still fifteen, and she sent Jia Huan two boxes of snacks and a stick.While sighing: "Don't blame Huan'er. It's not unreasonable for him to be worried. Your wife is really not generous." Thinking that her private treasury was almost wiped out, she added a few words, "She also Treating Huan'er too harshly, even if she didn't raise her, if Huan'er gets better, she will have a good face. Staring at Huan'er like a thief every day, lest he get half of the future, it is extremely short-sighted. Huan'er He's Baoyu's younger brother, and he admires Baoyu so much, so it's clear that the court will be able to help Baoyu in the future. Don't wait too long for him."

Jia Zhengsu always believed in his mother the most.Originally, I was thinking of ordering someone to check what Mrs. Wang had done, but I didn't want to check after hearing this. It was obvious that Jia Huan was treated harshly, so I was annoyed: "It's not for Baoyu's sake that I took early leave. She. It's just that she was always Baoyu's biological mother, and now she's just hanging on. Besides, Ziteng is always her brother."

Jia's mother nodded, thinking that Jia Zheng was also pitiful, for marrying such a bad-hearted daughter-in-law with him that day, now it seems that the second child's family will be as disliked by her husband as the old family's .So he secretly planned to find another decent aunt with Jia Zheng.

The trip to Chang'an was set, and everyone began to arrange gifts and horses. Gong Kun entrusted Qin Keqing and Liu Xianglian to sell antiques for Mrs. Jia's wife and receive news of the death of the old concubine on Qingming Festival. .

That's all for Qin Keqing, Liu Xianglian heard that they sold such news, even though she knew Jia Cong's audacity, she was startled for a long time, she pulled Gong Kun and asked, "How did Cong know about such things?"

Gong Kun blinked: "How do I know how he knows? Someone always tells him. Cong'er has other experts who taught him, it seems there are more than one or two. I've heard him say that he leaked it a few times."

Liu Xianglian was stunned for a while, Qin Keqing smiled and said: "What are you thinking? Following Cong'er will have a future, since there is such a free business, let's help. Mr. Xiao Gong has paved the way ahead. , let's just be more precise, it's not difficult."

Liu Xianglian sighed: "Of course I want to help, but... good boy! I didn't notice it at all in the early years."

Gong Kun said with a smile: "Now the set of utensils for practicing martial arts in your cottage, such as horizontal ladders and vertical ladders, was also taught by one of his gentlemen. What a strange man that gentleman is! He said he could pass it on to him because he met him by chance. I don't believe it, who has such a great ability to pass on to a child I met by chance! I don't believe it if I can't find it now. The third master has such a noble life, and when he doesn't have it all, someone can jump out of it."

Qin and Liu thought about it, what he said was really good, Fang Gradually sincerely ranked Jia Cong ahead of Jia Amnesty.

One day, Jia She ordered someone to bring a box to Jia Cong. Jia Cong lazily opened it and saw that it contained two binoculars and five western muskets!He was so scared that he quickly closed it and ran to his father's house.

Jia Amnesty had expected him to come running, so he deliberately played with a newly bought antique vase while humming a little tune.When Jia Cong broke in, he said slowly without blinking his eyes: "What are you running~~ You are in a panic."

Jia Cong came up and grabbed his father's skirt: "Father! Did you get the musket and binoculars? When did you get them?"

Jia Amnesty put on a face and said, "It's only a few days ago."

Jia Cong complained, "Don't tell me to come and see."

Jia Amnesty glanced at him: "Isn't it all given to you? It's all there is, it's gone."

Jia Cong pouted: "Is that the idea? Not enough! Too little! Let him get some more!"

Jia She said: "He didn't dare to bring more for the first time, and it's very difficult to handle this thing in the West."

Jia Cong laughed and said, "Father! With great rewards, there must be brave men, and money can turn ghosts around! This thing is too important. If we have musketeers...well, I didn't say anything!"

Jia She lowered his head and looked at him: "Then we need to have a lot of money, these things can only be played for fun now."

Yes, since ancient times nothing is more expensive than weapons.Jia Cong twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly: "Okay... we'll talk about it later... Anyway, as much as possible, okay?"

Jia She then sighed softly and stopped talking nonsense.

Finally, when it was time to go out, Jia Huan and Jia Cong led the sixteen heroes from Lixiangyuan, Gong Kun, Jarvis, Liu Feng and Wu Xiaoxi, without maids, and accompanied by more than a dozen bodyguards from the Taiping Bodyguard Bureau. The capital went to Chang'an.

A large group of Laozi arrived at Shiliting, and seeing them walking away, they all stretched their necks and refused to leave.After a long while, it was Ge Liuxian who sighed, "Forget it, the child must grow up anyway."
