The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

But Jia Cong talked with his aunt and grandmother Jia Taijun for a long time at night and returned to the East Guest House. Gong Kun and others were still awake. Seeing him coming back, they all stretched their necks and asked, "How is it?" "Is the talk safe?"

Jia Cong smiled and clapped his hands, "I got it!"

Jia Huan couldn't help but punched him on the shoulder: "I knew you kid could coax people!"

Jia Cong sat in the middle triumphantly, repeated what he had just said with gestures, and finally said with a smile: "Although the men of the Jia family are capable or not, the women are all extremely intelligent and know everything. It's easy to talk to her old man. You haven't seen the way my aunt looked at me, I can guess what she said to Biao Gao when she turned around - Cong'er is indeed a good fortune boy who came to the world, not here to give a son, They are here to save the world!" Looking up suddenly, everyone looked surprised and asked, "Why? What's the look on everyone?"

Yao'er usually has a steady temper, but now he asked first: "Is what you said true? I heard you mention that the empress of Russia will become a mistress in the future. How do you know what happened afterwards?"

Jia Cong let out an "ow", covered his face for three seconds, then put his hands down: "I heard from a gentleman who can predict the future."

Gong Kun hurriedly asked: "What kind of master is this gentleman?"

Jia Cong said: "He said his surname is Jin, and his two names are Daishi. Have you heard of Yizhi?"

Where did Gong Kun hear about it?After thinking for a long time, he shook his head and said, "I've never heard of this person before."

Jia Cong pretended to be serious and said: "This old man is very mysterious, I dare not ask anyone about him, and I don't know if this is his real name or a pseudonym."

Gong Kun thought about the meeting, and asked: "The nobleman's family visit and the concubine's death, but he told you?"

Jia Cong shook his head: "That's another gentleman, whose surname is Cao and whose name is Zhan Mengruan."

Gong Kun naturally didn't know him either.After thinking for a long time and looking at him for a long time, he waved his hands and said, "Forget it, you know a lot of strange people, and I'm not surprised."

Jia Cong smiled and said no more.This matter let him muddle through.

The next day, Jia Cong wanted to find Gao Ying to inquire about Zhu Tong and others, but Gong Kun stopped him.He said: "My lord, since we have clarified the cause and effect with Jia Taijun, the students should do it for us." Jia Cong was right when he thought about it, so he sat in the room and waited.

Unexpectedly, someone came to report that a young man surnamed Zhu had come outside the gate of the mansion, begging to see the Third Master Cong of Rongguo Mansion.Jia Cong was stunned, and said with a smile: "This person is leaving." He straightened his clothes and raised his feet to leave. He glanced into the room and was about to joke a few words when he saw everyone reading books and playing chess. , Bickering bickering, eating snacks eating snacks, no one glanced at him, suddenly felt bored, and went out without saying a word.Only his close buddy Jia Huan gave him face, shook his hands behind him and shouted "see you~~"

When I got outside, I saw Zhu Tong standing at the door with a smile, a little more energetic than yesterday, when he saw him, he cupped his hands and said, "Master Jia is indeed a cool person."

Jia Cong silently sized him up and said, "I'm just curious."

Zhu Tong said seriously: "Someone wants to see the third master, it's not far away, it's only at the tea stall at Qiantou Street."

Jia Cong raised his eyebrows and looked at him several times, and said: "According to common sense, shouldn't we be looking for a very simple and elegant teahouse and tavern? Hualou is also possible."

The corners of Zhu Tong's eyes twitched, as if a little unhappy, and he said in a deep voice: "The master only wants to see the third master. If he goes to a farther place, there will be others following him. The tea stall is very close," he stretched out his arm and pointed He pointed out, "You can see the gate of the Gao Mansion when you turn your head. If you want to come to the third master alone, there is no problem."

Jia Cong followed his finger to look around, and it was really very close, thinking that they couldn't do any tricks at the gate of Gao's house, so he nodded: "Forget it, since it's not far away, let's take two steps."

So he followed Zhu Tong to the tea stall at the street corner, couldn't help laughing, and said: "There are not many pedestrians here, if it's just a small stall, don't you think there are too many tables? I suggest that only tomorrow A table is enough. Well, the table is a good choice. An ordinary tea stand is such a small table. And the couple who sell tea—the clothes are right, and only the clothes are right. Which of these two bodies I found it? Very good. I won’t say anything about the man’s burly figure, but he also has a heroic spirit that can’t be concealed. Even a fool can see that he is not an ordinary person; the woman is even more beautiful. If a woman with this appearance A tea seller in the street is either coquettish or gaudy, I have never seen one who is dignified and steady. I said, can you pretend to be more serious, please? I feel like my IQ has been hurt by [-] points."

Zhu Tong who said that was stunned.The couple selling tea immediately turned their heads to look over, and it was obvious that they both had good ears.

Jia Cong saw that one of the four tables was empty, and three burly men were sitting scattered on two of them, and on the other one was a boy in green clothes and a square scarf sitting with his back facing him. , walked over to him and sat safely opposite him.

The boy raised his head, and the two looked at each other.

This person is about the same age as Jia Cong, but he is a little taller than Jia Cong when he sits. He is quite thin, with a handsome appearance. People who have watched a lot of movies and TV dramas in later generations can tell at a glance that he is a woman disguised as a man.Jia Cong made a good guess immediately, cupped his hands and said, "Hi, princess."

The murderous aura around him flew out like a bottle bursting.Jia Cong made a grimace: "Your subordinates are so restless, do you know that?"

The man stretched out his right hand and waved it, everyone restrained their killing intent, she looked directly at Jia Cong: "How did Mr. Cong see it?" This was an admission.

Jia Cong said: "You are a girl, needless to say, it is so obvious that you can tell at a glance. A girl is still a girl in men's clothing." He poked his neck forward sincerely, "Really Yeah, not like a boy at all."

The princess was startled, and couldn't help but turned around and exchanged a few glances with the tea seller couple.

Jia Cong went on to say: "I saw from the back just now, your back is very straight, it is obvious that the family has strict discipline on etiquette. Most of the girls in this kind of family stay at home, but you can sit here. Your bearing is much higher than those around you, and you are still a child. Most of the child's bearing is praised by others, which shows that you are a master. And that gentleman—” He pointed to the man selling tea, “ The military smell on your body is too strong, and it cannot be concealed by wearing ordinary clothes. I know that you have soldiers in your family. Also, you sent Zhu Tong to test me yesterday. I usually live in Beijing. , and it’s not even the age to discuss marriage.” The princess on the opposite side couldn’t help but blush a little, but Jia Cong just didn’t see it. "Which girl is going to try me around? Mr. Gong said that you are one year older than me. When I was young, I saw that the sisters in my family were about as tall as you when they were ten years old, and they were all very thin. Yes. If you think about these things together, it’s easy to guess.”

The princess nodded slowly: "Sure enough."

Jia Cong smiled lightly: "In fact, you have exposed too many flaws. If you can cover them up, it will not be easy to guess."

The princess asked: "When did you know that Zhu Tong was going to test you?"

Jia Cong said: "The first thing he said to me was 'Mr. Jia is worthy of his reputation'. The only poem I passed on for ordinary people to know is that's all. I haven't written any poems yet."

The princess couldn't help but smile, but she smiled nicely, and turned to look at Zhu Tong.Zhu Tong smiled wryly and cupped his hands: "This subordinate is negligent."

The princess waved her hand and said to Jia Cong seriously: "Based on your words and demeanor yesterday and the letter you got in the past, you should be a quite straightforward person. Therefore, I thought, it's better to talk face to face."

Jia Cong nodded and said, "I also intend to discuss something with the princess."

The princess thought for a while, and said: "Mr. Zhan has been sending letters, wanting to send you and me..." She blushed and couldn't continue.

Jia Cong said: "That old man has a big brain, and wants to make you and me a pair. Let me declare first, I don't agree."

The princess immediately raised her head: "You don't think I've lost my status?"

Jia Cong waved his hand: "I don't know you. Who would look down on someone they don't know?"

"Then why don't you agree?"

Jia Cong pouted: "Similarly, no one would look down on someone they don't know. I won't marry someone I don't know."

The princess was startled again.

Jia Cong said: "It will cause a lot of trouble if people you don't know randomly gather together, living habits, daily preferences, all kinds of things. I don't want to make that effort to get along with strangers. This is one of them." Advocating to open her mouth to interrupt, how could Jia Cong let her speak at this moment, and hurriedly said, "Also, you are the princess, even if you can't reveal your identity at this moment, you can guess it by looking at the demeanor of the tea lady." I think you will learn all the rules that should be learned. I am a person who doesn't like rules...well, I don't like rules very much. Rules are the most annoying thing. I only behave when I have to, and I close the door on weekdays There are no rules in my life, so I don't like people who obey the rules. Birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups. Most of the friends around me are unruly and very casual. If we live together, we will definitely dislike each other. You think it's only natural I don’t care about things like this, I’m sure you’ll be pissed off, and I’m tired of you being rigid. Besides, you’re still young, and you’re shouldering heavy responsibilities as a daughter. Maybe you’re going to be able to give you something that the county horse master in the future will give you? rely on?"

The princess blushed again.

Jia Cong said categorically: "And I am definitely not a man who is willing to let women rely on me." What he said was too straightforward, and he was completely different from ordinary men, which shocked several people around him to stare at him.

Jia Cong was a little anxious, and the tone of later generations came out when he was not paying attention. "I will not tolerate everything about her, let alone shoulder everything about her. In the same way, I don't want to be everything to her. I don't want her to think about me all the time, so I will feel terrible. We will be each other Independent and supportive. I have my career, she has her world, and we make a home. I want a tree that stands with me, not a vine that clings to me. Don't know these words, Princess Can you understand me?"

The Princess was stunned for a cup of tea, and said: "How can there be a man like you in the world! It is natural for a man to be a family, and you are not willing!"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Well, I don't want to. So I am definitely not a good match for the princess. And now I have known more than one woman who can start a family by herself. Unfortunately, they are too much older than me. They gave birth to me before It's just that since there are already them in this world, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to find one who is younger than them. If I can't find one, at worst I will raise one myself in the future. Anyway, men can get married later."

These words are simply shameless, and the princess has no choice but to answer them.It took a long time before he smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Zhan said that you are different, and you are really different. But he also said that you are very young and very popular with women."

Jia Cong curled his lips: "Didn't he tell you what kind of women I like? There are also women who don't like me. There are too many of them."

The Princess laughed and said, "Let's talk about it."

Jia Cong said seriously: "Yes, I am really liked by some women. I am very liked by smart and capable women. For example, Qin Sangu, a tyrant in the west of Beijing, runs a huge market business, and everyone under her is loyal; There is also the proprietress of Liu's Timber Shop, who is ten times better than the ordinary big shopkeepers. If her family's business is gone, she will just wait to close; my cousin wants to read some books on building mechanisms, and ordinary bookstores can't buy me. So I got it out for her from the Hanlin Academy. These girls all like me. As for those who think they are pretty and are related to my family and expect me to help her or send her clothes, I don’t bother to talk to them, and they don’t like me. don't like me anymore."

The princess burst out laughing.

"Those women have talents in their stomachs. Most men in the world think that women's lack of talents is virtue, but I think that women's talents should be used, otherwise it is a waste. I hate waste. I agree with women. The right to be loved by women is not because they will praise their beauty, buy them rouge jewelry, and protect them from the wind and rain. Such women will not like me, and I don’t want to please them Okay. Anyway, no man can be liked by all the women in the world. It’s just one scoop of the weak water. I like the strong and the capable, regardless of gender. Love is by no means the most important thing to me, it’s more important than that There are too many."

These words were extremely difficult for women in ancient times to understand, the princess was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "How can you be sure that I am not that scoop?"

Jia Cong said: "I can't be sure. I'm still young, and this kind of thing can only be seen in ten years. However, as I said just now, temperament, rules, and your expectations of the county horse, you and I are not the same probability as the other party. It’s huge. Therefore, it’s so stupid to be tied up with a person who is probably not that scoop at the age of nine or ten. Take a step back and say, what if it really is such a coincidence that we happen to be the same as the other party Piao, it will naturally be discerned in ten years, and there is no rush at this moment."

The princess raised her head and said crisply: "You don't have to wait ten years, you are definitely not my scoop!"

Jia Cong immediately smiled and clapped his hands and said, "Right! Did I tell you that, based on your life experience, it's probably not me."

The princess also smiled with relief: "Well, I already know what kind of person you are. Mr. Zhan has a kind heart, and we both love each other. How about being friends?"

Jia Cong was overjoyed: "Very good! I would also like to be your friend. By the way, Zhan Kun and Zhan Yizhi, do you know?"

The princess sighed: "It was because of his letter that I came here. Sure enough, I didn't come in vain, but it was thanks to him."

Jia Cong nodded, and said: "He is much more reliable than old man Gong. Yizhi once asked me if I would recognize you as a sister-in-law. Of course I am willing, but I don't know if the princess is willing."

The princess smiled wryly and said, "It's only because I'm a daughter that I'm inconvenient..." Looking at him, "Why do you want to?"

Jia Cong said: "In order to fulfill the old man Gong Sanyi. Although he is a bit stubborn, he is still very good to me. I thought, most of the women in the world are not the kind I want, and most of them regard love as the most important thing. , and the probability that you don’t pay attention to this is extremely low. If you are forced to match up with you, you will most likely be disappointed and miserable in the future. And I will never change myself into a seed of infatuation for anyone. At that time, old man Gong It must be heartbroken, more painful than you. Anyway, he wants to join us as a couple because you are not cheap as a woman, so that I can take care of you. I am a person who values ​​loyalty, and I can do it if I recognize you as a god-sister. looked after."

The princess was silent for a long time after hearing the words, and sighed: "What you said is that love is really not an important thing to you." Fu asked again, "You just said that you are looking for me to discuss matters, and this is it?"

Jia Cong suddenly laughed lightly: "No. If the princess wants to be honest with each other, I have a few important things to discuss with the princess, so that we can both win and no one will suffer."
