The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

But Jia Mu and others heard what Sheyue said, knowing that their brothers had gone to rob people, and even Baoyu went with them, so they were in a hurry and sent people to investigate.But the spy didn't know the back door they went to, so they waited for half a day at the front door but couldn't wait for their masters.Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard someone yelling "there is a fight at the back door of Nan'an Prince's Mansion", and hurriedly went around to the back door, and sure enough, he saw the two young masters of their family fighting with others.Because he didn't dare to go up rashly, he was anxious behind.It wasn't until the people from the Taiping Escort arrived that I didn't feel relieved, and ran back to report the letter.

As soon as the kid entered the Rongxi Hall, he smiled and kowtowed: "Go back to the old lady and the two masters, just don't worry! At first, a group of people from the Nan'an Palace surrounded our young master and it was only a tie. Just now the reinforcements from our mansion When we arrived, the people over there were crawling all over the ground!"

Jia Amnesty shouted "Okay!" and immediately ordered someone to reward him with a penny.

Jia's mother was in a hurry: "How can Baoyu fight! Isn't it just standing up and being bullied?"

The kid hurriedly said: "Second Master Bao didn't fight, so he probably hid somewhere. I saw Master Gao standing in front of a carriage and beating a group of them one by one. It was so fun, Second Master Bao couldn't keep them all in the carriage."

Jia's mother, Jia Zheng, felt relieved when she heard the words, and Jia Amnesty happily asked how the beating went.That kid just flung his cheeks away and said, the two young masters fought three against one, the third senior Gao was no problem dealing with thirty, he coaxed Jia She to shut his mouth, and ordered someone to reward him with four purses and two boxes Good dim sum.

I thought they would come soon, but after waiting for a long time, Mother Jia couldn't sit still anymore, and she wanted to call for someone to visit again, but someone outside finally came to report: The young man brought the eldest girl back, this time The carriage has entered Ning Rong Street!The delighted mother Jia hurriedly led her two sons to the south hall to pick them up, and welcomed Yuan Chun and his brothers in.

Yuan Chun hadn't seen his father since he entered the palace, and now seeing Jia Zheng's gray temples and haggard appearance, he couldn't help but burst into tears with mixed emotions.Everyone held their hands and wept. After a long pause, they asked what had happened to Yuan Chun in the past few days.

It turned out that the concubine warned me that Yuanchun was extremely cautious in everything, and did not dare to touch their house with food or water.The next day the concubine came to her courtyard in person, and first told him that Jia Cong wanted to exchange favors for her. While talking, she glanced at Yuan Chun's face, and saw that she couldn't hold back her surprise, but her words and demeanor were quite calm. Generous and decent, I knew that this woman would probably not follow the concubine's wishes.

Nai tried again: "It's just that the concubine went to your mansion yesterday and wanted to discuss with your old lady about keeping you in our mansion."

Yuan Chun raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile: "I'm not someone on a famous brand, what will the concubine ask me to do?"

The concubine did not answer, but continued to talk about the concubine's condition and asked her: "Are you willing?"

Yuan Chun was silent for a moment, then asked again: "The two brothers of my family, Cong'er and Baoyu, do you agree?"

The concubine pretended to say: "Your brothers are still young, what can they do?"

Yuan Chun looked at her for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "My concubine is playing tricks on me. Although my brother is young, he is a man who can make up his mind. How can such a big matter be decided by a woman?"

The concubine also laughed, and said: "Yesterday, it was your little brother Jia Cong who broke into the Rongxi hall and refuted the concubine. She felt very sorry, and asked me to ask you what you mean."

Yuan Chun couldn't help beaming with joy, and immediately said: "I heard that the little prince is already being raised in the concubine's yard, how peaceful she is with her grandchildren. I'm just an ordinary concubine, why bother her."

Princess Wang nodded: "Since that's the case, I'll go back to Princess Dowager."

Yuan Chun thought for a while and asked, "It's just that I don't understand, why does the concubine keep me in this mansion?"

The princess said indifferently: "Because you belong to her son. Even if her son doesn't like it, you can't belong to someone else."

Yuan Chun trembled all over, and suddenly remembered that after a prince died in the palace, his pet dog was hanged by his mother to be buried with him, so he hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply to the princess: "Thank you, princess, for your kindness, the Jia family will definitely repay you in the future. "

The concubine was also overjoyed, she secretly praised this girl, and said with a smile: "Have I ever mentioned anything to you? It's just that the concubine ordered me to ask." Then Shi Shi ran away with a few polite words.

Yuan Chun became more and more vigilant after that, even sleeping at night with only his clothes on.

Last night, the princess sent someone to tell Miss Jia to be cautious.Yuan Chun had thought about it countless times.Since food and drink can't help her, most women will start with their reputations, and it's already the second watch of the meeting, and only the concubine's people will come to warn.So I packed up my usual books, piano scores, papers and silks, all my clothes, shoes and jewelry, wrapped them in a few ordinary bags, stuffed them into the glove box in the wing room, and locked them specially.Fortunately, she had very few things, and it was very cheap to pack them up. For a while, the room was as empty as a snow cave, almost like an inn.

She pretended to fall asleep again, and when the two little girls fell asleep, she placed the quilt on the kang to make a human figure, took out another quilt to cover it up, and quietly hid in the small room next door, poked the paper on the window Going out of the three holes, you can see various places in the courtyard, so you hold your breath and wait inside.After the third watch, Yuan Chun heard a "boom" outside, hurriedly leaned over to the window, and saw a black shadow walking through the courtyard, a little limping, and under the starlight, he could clearly distinguish it was a woman.For a while, the woman entered her room without knowing what she had done, and tiptoed out again, climbing the wall and leaving.

Yuan Chun waited in the wing room for another quarter of an hour. Seeing no movement outside, he knew that the concubine did not pre-take the double, so he went back to the room, drew the curtains tightly, lit the lamp, and searched carefully.It was very easy to search for nothing in the house. After a while, a man's shoe was found under the bed, and a man's underwear was turned out from the cabinet, and a paper of love poems was wrapped inside the underwear.It's just that according to Yuanchun, that thing is not poetry at all.

She thought for a while, put the love poem on the lamp and burned it clean, then took the clothes and wrapped her shoes, held her breath and went to the gate of the courtyard to listen to the movement.Fortunately, her yard was very far away, and there was no one nearby. Yuan Chun took out the key from his pocket and opened the door. He walked out alone, recognized the way by the faint starlight, wrapped his clothes with a stone and threw it into the pool not far away. In the middle, came back quietly.She gave up the water she bought outside for the next morning, and quietly brushed the soles of the shoes she wore when she went out in the yard.Then a sleepless night.

At dawn the next day, Yuan Chun was packing up and going to guard the spirit for Huo Xuan, when there was a commotion outside, someone was shouting and smashing the door.Yuan Chun just pretended not to know, and asked the little girl to open the door.As soon as the courtyard door opened, more than a dozen strong women broke in and rummaged through her room involuntarily.Yuan Chun pretended to be terrified and stood aside.However, they searched for a long time and found nothing. They looked at each other for a while, and the leader turned around and looked Yuan Chun up and down for a long time, and said with a fake smile: "Miss Jia, a kid with dirty hands and feet was caught outside, and he has confessed. Private with you!"

Yuan Chun frowned: "Could it be that the concubine and princess only listen to one side of the story and believe it?"

The woman said: "Anyway, please ask Miss Jia to go for a walk."

Yuan Chun nodded and followed them boldly.The old woman had a rope in her hand, but she didn't dare to tie her up because she didn't find evidence.

Arriving in the concubine's courtyard, the concubine pointed at her with a dark face and scolded: "What a whore! I only think of you as a well-educated and reasonable person from a rich family, I don't want to even do such dirty things! Xuan'er Treat you well, has your heart been eaten by dogs?"

Yuan Chun knelt on the ground and said solemnly: "Dare to ask the concubine, does the person who claims to have an affair with me know how many moles are on the back of my neck?"

The concubine was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at the concubine complainingly.

Yuan Chun said again: "I don't know what this man looks like, but he can look so good that the slaves and servants will ignore the prince and look at him."

The concubine said that he was not good-looking, nor was he not good-looking.

Yuan Chun went on to say: "Maybe he is talented, educated and rich? Otherwise, why should slaves look at him?"

A woman hurriedly said by the side: "He recruited, he wrote you a love poem!"

Yuan Chun frowned: "Love poems are not easy to write well. Straightforwardness is tasteless, and cursive writing is cryptic."

The old woman hurriedly took out a piece of paper from her bosom and handed it to her: "He just transcribed it, this is it!"

Yuan Chun picked it up and looked at it, then shook his head and said, "This is not even considered oil painting, it's just a few words written. Being able to write words in such a tangible and spiritless way is considered a skill, so it's not worth commenting on." He laughed again. The love poem was handed to a maid next to her, "The princess is also an expert, why don't you ask the princess to take a look, what is this?"

When the concubine heard that she hadn't found any evidence in her room, she knew that the woman was on guard, so she stopped talking to Yuan Chun, and re-submitted the case: "The adulterers have been recruited, and you can't deny it!" She asked the concubine, "Look? How to deal with it."

Yuan Chun knew that it would be useless for him to cry out for grievances and Qu outside, so he smiled coldly, stood up, and looked at the princess as well.

The concubine said bluntly: "This matter is strange. Now that the prince's important matter is not over, it is better to send Miss Jia to the family temple for temporary settlement, and then make sense after the matter is settled."

The concubine nodded immediately: "You are right! Let's do it like this."

The concubine took a look at Yuan Chun, and Yuan Chun knew that they had already discussed it, fearing that there was nothing else to do, so he only blessed the concubine and went to the courtyard silently.

Unexpectedly, when she was packing her things, a capable big girl beside Wangfei brought her ten taels of silver, and whispered: "The matter last night was done by Wangfei temporarily, but it took Wangfei a lot of effort. Wangfei Said, I haven't bothered so much for many years, and the concubine is getting more and more difficult to coax."

Yuan Chun was taken aback.

The girl smiled and said: "The concubine wanted to wait until the prince's funeral before using this trick. It was the concubine who persuaded her that there would be troubles in the Rongguo mansion at that time, and the night would be long and full of dreams. It would be better to hit the sun instead of choosing a day. Anyway, send Miss Jia away first." There is nothing we can do about the family temple and the Rongguo Mansion, but they are just sullen for a while. But mortals are still in our hands, at least half a year later, they will still come and go. The concubine let her coax her for a long time before she decides to do it immediately. If there is enough time How can it be so easy? I'm afraid the girl's apron embroidered shoes will be taken by others. Talking about the mole on the back of the neck, I'm afraid it's on the stomach. Let the concubine check it out. If the matter is solid , but the girl will be extremely difficult to wash off in the future."

Yuan Chun was stunned, and nodded: "Thank you, Princess, I will remember it in my heart."

The girl said again: "When you arrive at the family temple, there will be someone to take care of you, so you don't have to worry about it. After some time, I will have a way to let the girl out."

After hearing these words, Yuan Chun felt at ease and packed his things with peace of mind.He thought he was going to stay in their family temple for a while, but he didn't want Jia Cong to be impatient, and he couldn't wait to make a long-term plan, so he just robbed them!

Everyone sighed again after hearing this, and Jia Cong praised first: "Although it's not useful, my sister's brushing the soles of shoes is something that ordinary people can't think of, and it's really safe."

Yuan Chun said with a smile: "I just heard people say in the palace that there was a big palace lady who went out to do things for the master in the middle of the night, and people found out because of the pollen on the soles of her shoes... that time, many people died."

Jia Huan couldn't help but read aloud: "No wonder my aunt said that you are lucky to come out of it alive."

This remark reminded Jia Zheng that thanks to Gao Mang's help today, he hurriedly thanked him; Jia's mother couldn't hold back her face and thanked him once.Gao Mang smiled and said, "Cousin has already thanked you just now, why should I thank you again and again."

At that moment, Mother Jia was worried that Nan'an Palace would tarnish Yuanchun's reputation, Jia Cong said with a smile, "No way. The concubine originally wanted to use her name to trap eldest sister, but for the sake of Huo Xuan's reputation, she would not let many people know about it. About this time, everyone who should be silenced will be wiped out. Besides, since this matter is under the control of the princess, she will not let many people know. In order not to offend our family, and for Huo Sheng to have a good relationship with our brothers in the future, the princess She will keep this matter to herself, without any rumors. Now that the princess and the concubine in their mansion have turned their faces, there is no room for two tigers, and the rest of the concubine who is reluctant to deal with the concubine will naturally deal with it for her. And the concubine Although the concubine is upset, she has nothing else to do besides spoiling her grandchildren from now on."

Jia Mu couldn't help shouting loudly: "Nonsense! What is the status of the concubine? The princess is just her daughter-in-law, can she still climb on the head of her mother-in-law?!"

Jia Cong said: "Ordinary families can't do it, but their family is different this time. Many mothers only have their sons in their eyes, and they are willing to abandon the overall situation for the sake of their sons. This is the case with Nan'an Princess and Wangfei. The concubine is willing to turn against the concubine in order to trap all the women in name for her son. Big sister gave it back to our family, the princess has many extremely convenient methods, but she used the one that is the most labor-intensive and the most troublesome."

He took a breath, looked at everyone, and continued: "Our family's intentions are clear, as long as there are people, nothing else is mentioned. I also told Huo Sheng that day, if he can't be the master, I will think of other ways. Stay Regarding the matter of the elder sister, the concubine originally intended to take it slowly, but the concubine tried to cut off the road and intensified the situation. How can our family let it go? There must be a way to do it. The concubine said, "In a little while, there will be a way." "Let the girls out" is probably taking advantage of the pressure from our family in the future to disperse all Huo Xuan's concubines in the name of "overall situation" and under the guise of "face". Naturally, she didn't expect that our brothers would To rob someone."

Jia Mu thought for a long time when she heard the words, and said unhappily: "This woman is so stingy, why not raise a few women for her husband."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Now the mansion belongs to her son, raising those women is of no benefit to her son, and it's useless to worry about her husband when she's gone." Jia Huan couldn't help looking at Gao Mang. With a glance, Gao Mang smiled - didn't Jia Mu also lose contact with her sister-in-law after her husband died? "She dared to order someone to put the concubine in, obviously she didn't care about her face. Besides, we kept yelling at the gate of their house today that our family has the right, and the lawsuit can be brought to the Jinluan Palace; Brother Baoyu took the snack box again. I wandered around for a while; the concubine didn't even have a chance to speak, so I beat her up. Those who watched the show would naturally guess. There is no need to ask the concubine for the blame, the concubine has her own countermeasures."

Yuan Chun praised: "The princess is really a sensible person."

Jia Congnai whispered to Yuan Chun, "Today I reserved two consonants for Huo Sheng, just to see if he picks up and how he picks up."

Yuan Chun laughed softly and said, "One of them is another box of dim sum. I've been waiting for you to come to the car to ask for it, but you didn't come. What's the other one?"

Jia Cong chuckled, "Guess!"

Because Yuan Chun has been locked in a small courtyard for the past two years, he doesn't know many things, so he can't guess for a long time, so he just doesn't guess.

At that time, Mother Jia ordered someone to clean up a big house in her yard to house Yuanchun. She said that she and Baoyu's siblings had not seen each other for many years, and that Yuanchun had not been in the mansion for a long time, so she took the opportunity to kiss and kiss her.

Jia Huan and Jia Cong resigned Jia's mother and went out. He rushed to brag about today's achievements with his sisters, and the girls were naturally happy to hear it.At the end Jia Cong asked with a smile: "Who can guess what the consonance I left for Huo Sheng is? Eldest sister can only guess one."

Tan Chun smiled and said, "The first one is easy to guess. Since you two are pretending to turn against each other, and Mr. Zhao is watching, it is very easy to guess that there may be something wrong with the dim sum. It is because the other box of dim sum has not been returned to them on the spot." We intend to keep a piece of incriminating evidence. If Mr. Huo has a good understanding, he won't ask anyone to return the snack."

Jia Cong nodded: "That's right. If he doesn't want it, he trusts us and can be an ally in secret. If he wants it, he wants to make it clear. In the future, we will go our separate ways."

Tanchun thought about it again, and said, "I can't guess the other one. Does Sister Lin know?"

Daiyu was lying on the imperial concubine's couch and was too lazy to talk, so she pursed her lips and smiled and said, "The other one is very easy, I'm afraid you all overlooked it. The two little maids of the big sister are clearly from other people, so Cong'er didn't care about it." And snatched it. Let's see tomorrow, it would be smart for their family to give us those two girls alone. If they send their family members together, it will save face. In the future, the two houses will pass on Letters have to think of another way.”

Xichun laughed and said, "What if they come and ask people to go back?"

Daiyu said: "From now on, we will go around our house as far as we can."

Jia Cong hurriedly bowed to her and said, "Your Majesty's order!" Everyone laughed.

Seeing Daiyu's relaxed expression, Jia Cong knew that she had figured it out, and was secretly happy.

Later, when people from Nan'an Palace came to help Jia's family register for Yuanchun, they only sent the identity deeds of the two little girls, and didn't mention anything about snacks.Jia Cong and others laughed, and said to Baoyu, "It's rare that you are stupid, but you have made a smart friend!"

Nan'an Palace completely released the women in Huo Xuan's backyard early the next morning, even released several concubines.The concubine tried her best to stop him, but only said that there are still traitors in the backyard and the person who killed Huo Xuan has not been found out, so she can't let the tiger go back to the mountain.But what she said didn't count, and her heart was twisted into a ball with anger.Where does the princess care? Who gave Huo Xuan the medicine?Knowing that they might have ill intentions towards Huo Sheng but not being able to find out who it is for a while, what if someone kills Huo Sheng right away?Could it be possible to use her son as bait?So she didn't want to lose face or reputation, so she threw it all out and never wanted to harm her son again.He also persuaded Huo Sheng not to avenge his father every day, and that the king had to die, and he had never heard of a courtier taking revenge on the king.Huo Sheng only answered falsely.

Because the concubine is usually gentle and virtuous, and has a good reputation among the female families in Beijing, this time the release was extremely hasty and clean, followed by a riot at the Rongguo Mansion the day before. They were anxious about this matter, but no one suspected that the princess was jealous and resentful, and they all thought it had something to do with the Rongguo Mansion.Seeing that the concubine did not say a word to defend herself, everyone guessed that she deliberately took the blame for her mother-in-law, which made her even more respected.
