The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

But it was said that the missionary Zhao Shouqian brought another British missionary, Aylward, to Rongguo Mansion. This person's Chinese name was Li Rende, and he had been in the capital for ten years.This Mr. Li is very proficient in Western science, especially in basic subjects such as mathematics and physics. He is currently translating a geometry book. Today, he heard that Mr. Jia likes science, so he specially included many books translated by him.

The brothers in Lixiangyuan were all very interested. They asked Mr. Li about his problems, and some people asked Mr. Newton how he was doing recently.I didn't want Newton to have passed away more than [-] years ago, and they all sighed.However, this group of people still respected him very much. They heard that Mr. Li had also brought Mr. Newton's "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy", and they all gathered around to watch it.It's a pity that the English they learned was learned from Jia Cong, and they were all extremely basic words and sentences, which they couldn't understand at all.Naturally, Jia Cong couldn't understand it either. In his previous life, he was only a sixth-grade college student, and he still studied American English.So he simply asked Mr. Li if he would like to come to Lixiangyuan to teach them.Mr. Li was originally a poor monk, it was not easy to preach and his life was poor, so he was naturally willing.The two hit it off.

Since then, Jia Cong has been obsessed with all kinds of Western obsolete objects and natural sciences, and he will never go outside to invite him to enjoy flowers and theaters.Immediately, a group of missionaries came to the door.It's a pity that he is only interested in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and has no interest in who created human beings.有个传教士告诉他，上帝爱全人类，是全部人的天父；贾琮哀伤的告诉他，我老子脾气不好，他若知道你这么说会揍你的……没多久传教士就发现This person is inconceivable, and gradually gave up.Some of them were invited to teach by him who were quite talented in science, and the missionaries also had to eat, but he taught them quite seriously.

Wang Ziteng thought that he was sincerely "playing with things and losing his ambition" so as to avoid the limelight, so he collected a lot of Western books for him and sent them to him.

However, at this moment, Chaozhong is also lively.A while ago, the six princes’ mother’s family and the six princes all received an arrow book from nowhere at night, and there was only one sentence on it: Zhou Yan is afraid that he will not be an official, who will be the chief envoy? ?

The next day, my lords asked people to inquire, and it turned out that Zhou Yan had suddenly disappeared for several days, and he didn't know where he had gone!People from the Zhou family reported the case to the government, but they couldn't find out like Xie Sanye a while ago.It's just that Zhou Yanxian is much more important than Xie San.If it is said that he was kidnapped by thieves, then what is the origin of the arrow book?A few days later, the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince revealed this matter to each other when they were talking, and they were shocked when they heard that the other party had also received a letter!Immediately ordered someone to go back to the mansion to fetch the arrow book and put it in one place. The two arrows and the two letters are exactly the same!The arrows are wooden arrows, probably made by archers;They hurriedly asked the other four princes, but they received it in the same night!Immediately became alert, I am afraid there is a fraud.So they all pretended not to care about it.

However, the mothers of the princes did not communicate with each other, so no one knew about it, and they went to the door to find out the news, trying to find the position for their own family, and there was a rush of clouds all over the place.

A few days ago, the cause of the chaos in the harem has not yet been found out, because the sage ordered Jingdezhen to imitate the blue and white dinosaur of the Ming Dynasty, and some people have already released the news, and several empresses who are embarrassed have seen the artwork with their own eyes, and they all said that the dinosaur is very cute. Put an end to the talk of "seizing a son".Now there are unreasonable women in the harem who are stepping on Zhou nobles, and at the same time urging the prince to ask the saint who he wants to fill the post of general administrator.

The sage became more and more annoyed, so he simply ordered Situ Pan to end Zhou Yan earlier, and only died in an accident, and he was worthy of him by saving his whole family.Seeing that all the people jumping out were his own sons, the brothers were all quiet, thinking that they were more honest, they secretly felt more at ease.Nai said to Dai Quan, "Let them fight a few times. If I don't fight, I won't be able to see who is more capable."

Situ Pan persuaded, "It's fine if some of the brothers move and some don't. This time, none of them didn't move. I don't think so."

The saint also thought it was reasonable, and ordered people to investigate but found nothing, so he had to let it go.However, there is still a bit of slack in my heart.

Two days later, a farmer in the outskirts of the city found a corpse on the ridge of the field. Because his official uniform had not been changed, he was immediately recognized as Mr. Zhou Yan.Because all the valuables on his body have been taken away, Wucheng Bingmasi only acts as a strongman to close the robbery case.The members of the Zhou family were naturally dissatisfied, crying and making noise and refused to take the body back.

Zhao Chengnai whispered to his eldest son: "Uncle Zhou, your father was thrown into the wilderness wearing an official uniform. It is a great grace for God to leave the whole body and not bring the family. Why don't you go back and burn incense to thank you? You pay attention Look at what's under Mr. Zhou's official uniform."

Uncle Zhou was shocked, and immediately ordered his father to be carried back regardless of other people's objections. The old man was covered with cuts and bruises, obviously he had been severely tortured, and he burst into tears.No need to ask, let the superior clean up.He himself knew a little bit about what their family was doing. He had walked too much at night and met ghosts, and he was busy honestly buying a coffin for his father to bury him, and he didn't even dare to make big funerals.

After the first seven days of Zhou Yan, Hu Jin, deputy envoy of the Tongzheng Envoy, was promoted to Tongzheng envoy.A few days later, the imperial decree was sent to Rongguo Mansion to transfer Jia Lian, a doctor of the fourth rank Chaosan, as the deputy envoy of the fourth rank general government envoy.

This Chaosan doctor is a vain job. Jia Lian's actual job was originally a member of the official department of the fifth rank, Wailang.I was so happy that I didn't know what to do, so I went to Lixiangyuan to express my thanks in person.He was smart, so he didn't even ask Jia Cong what merit he had done.Jia Cong just pretended to be stupid, and the two brothers tacitly passed by, laughing and joking.

Jia Cong ran to Jia Lian's yard to see Jia Xiaomeng when he had nothing to do. Sure enough, he looked cute every day, so cute no matter how you looked at it.Jia Lian said to Sister Feng: "Cong'er is a blessing. Let him come and play with Menger more, and bring some blessings to Menger." Sister Feng naturally smiled.

Ever since she got Jia Meng, Wang Xifeng didn't bother to ask Jia Lian if she was out drinking, listening to theatre, and dating girls from Bao's family.Jia Lian also noticed something, and went out to spend time and drink when he had free time. Anyway, no one cared, and everything was fine for a while.

Jia She was quite surprised when he heard that his son was even promoted to the third level, so he hurriedly asked Gong Sanyi, "Why is the saint so generous? He refused to give Lian'er a step up for so long."

Gong San also laughed and said: "I'm afraid the Ninth Prince contributed. No one knows that Cong'er pretended to be Gao Li's nephew. It doesn't matter at all. He doesn't need to involve himself in the blue and white dinosaur. He ran to Situ for no reason. Pan said. Being smart is rare, but being smart and honest is even more rare. Situ Pan really intends to win over your family this time."

Jia Amnesty sneered and said, "He's honest? He's no better than a ghost!" Then he walked away triumphantly.

Jia Zheng got the news and was bored in the house for several days.Because Baoyu went back to the academy early, he had to go to find Jia Huan and sighed, ordering him to study hard and take the imperial examination.Jia Huan naturally responded to what his father said, and didn't take it to heart when he turned around.

On this day, Jia Huan and Jia Cong came back from Su's house and went straight into Lixiangyuan. Hong Xiu came up to greet him and said, "Young master is here! There is a Mr. Liu who has been waiting for a long time, and since he came, there has been a lot of excitement. It's not gone yet."

Jia Huan glanced at Jia Cong: "When did you provoke another Mr. Liu?"

Jia Cong was inexplicable: "How would I know?" Then he walked into the hall, but saw a group of brothers chirping and croaking around a person, it was really lively, and he took a closer look—isn't that the actor Liu Aiyun?I haven't seen him for a few days, but this person's expression is different from that of the day, his eyebrows are flying and he is quite proud.

Seeing him coming in, Liu Aiyun hurried over to salute: "Third Master!"

Jia Cong said with a smile: "I heard that you are already the most famous actor in Beijing, congratulations."

Liu Aiyun also laughed and said, "It's the third master's idea. Uncle Xue took turns in everything and forced me out."

Jia Cong blinked: "I usually only think of Big Brother Xue who is good at screwing up good ideas. I don't think he still has two brushes."

Liu Aiyun smiled lightly, laughing until the cloud of the day dispersed, and the brothers around secretly took a deep breath.Jia Huan also sighed beside him, "No wonder Big Brother Xue fell on him." Liu Aiyun glanced at him with a half-smile, and Jia Huan shivered for no reason.

For a while, the two went to the study, Jia Congnai asked: "Brother Liu must be busy."

Liu Aiyun stared at Jia Cong silently for a long time, and asked: "Third Master said that he intends to point out the way with Uncle Xue, can I listen?"

Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "In your opinion, is he willing to suffer?"

Liu Aiyun was stunned.

Jia Cong said: "I said I didn't believe him, but I believed in you. This is the reason. He is a pampered young master, but he is quite loyal. He is a bit like Li Kui who is moored in Liangshan."

Said Liu Aiyun burst out laughing. "How can he have the ability of Black Whirlwind?"

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Li Kui is innocent and loyal, and he has no life. I don't know what happened to the two of you."

Liu Aiyun's expression darkened, and she said coldly: "I have no intention of using him as an axe."

Jia Cong said: "The ax is just a thing. It can kill people, cut trees, and build houses. Since he is a bastard himself, it would be good if someone who is clear will show him the way."

Liu Aiyun was startled.

Jia Cong stopped talking and sat drinking tea.

It took Liu Aiyun half a day to say: "What do you want him to do?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Sea merchants."

Liu Aiyun hurriedly said: "This matter is extremely difficult. Although I am an actor, I know how difficult it is to obtain a document in the Shipping Department, and maritime business is extremely risky."

Jia Cong waved his fingers and said, "The risk is not that great, Brother Liu, don't worry. It's just a little bit of hard work. Don't worry about paperwork."

Liu Aiyun stared at him for a long time.

Jia Cong said: "If you want to do this, you only need one thing: not to be greedy. If brother Xue can do it without being greedy and not afraid of suffering, there is nothing to say about making a fortune."

Liu Aiyun looked at him for a while, then suddenly sneered and said, "I don't want the young master of Rongguo Mansion to secretly inform the smugglers."

Jia Cong let out a "wow": "How did you guess it?"

Liu Aiyun said: "There is no risk in being a maritime merchant. If you are not greedy or afraid of suffering, you can make a fortune. What else can you do besides selling stolen goods for smuggled ships? The most important thing is not to be greedy. Don't be greedy for the benefits of your family, you can be rich." There is long-term business to do.”

Jia Cong grinned and said, "That's right. Not only smugglers, but also pirates, and distribution shops below. Only by working together can we make money. Boss Liu, do you want to do it?"

Liu Aiyun said: "Do it!"

Jia Cong pursed his lips and said, "Hey, do you want to be so evasive! According to common sense, you should threaten me first, 'Aren't you afraid that I will sue you?'"

Liu Aiyun sneered, "Third Master Cong walked through the entire Gaomen Palace in the capital a few days ago, where can I sue you as an actor?"

Jia Cong grinned and said, "Boss Liu is well-rounded." The two of them had a toast with tea instead of wine, and it was Liu Aiyun who made the decision for Xue Pan.

Liu Aiyun asked, "When will it start?"

Jia Cong said: "Wait a little longer, you can hang him again."

Liu Aiyun nodded and smiled lightly.

After sending him out, Jia Cong let out a long sigh in his heart, the matter had a basic outline.It's just that the most fatal link has not been resolved: the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.Later, he discussed with Liu Feng and others for several days, so they were the people of the Holy One, and they were really powerless to mobilize them.But Jia Huan said from the side: "Why don't you ask our military adviser?"

Jia Cong said, "Gong Kun hasn't come back yet."

Jia Huan said: "It's not just one military division."

Jia Cong glanced at Liu Feng and Wu Xiaoxi and said, "Aren't they all here?"

Jia Huan stretched out his hand and pointed his head back: "There are several more over there."

Jia Cong thought, yes, there are Mr. Lin and his sisters.He hurriedly laughed and said, "Yes, they don't know the cause and effect, so they can think of other ways if they don't make it together." Then he got up and went to the girls' courtyard.

Recently, they are all studying Western science in Lixiangyuan, and they also donated a batch of books and experimental equipment to their sisters. The girls are currently figuring out conic curves around a geometric model.Seeing him coming, they all smiled and said, "Come on, there is work for you."

Dai Yunai pointed to a list on the case: "That is the list of books we made, please get it for us, thank you very much!"

Jia Cong took it out and rolled it up without looking at it.

Yingchun laughed and said, "Xiangyun got a headache just looking at these things, so I asked her to copy the booklet for me."

Xichun said: "She obviously has never learned Arabic numerals before, and she can't understand what we are talking about, so she ran away when she was bored."

Yingchun hurriedly said: "I actually forgot this! It's easy, I'll teach her tonight."

Jia Cong quickly waved his hand: "Take it easy, if she doesn't follow her sister, don't teach her for now."

Yingchun nodded upon hearing this.

Jia Cong giggled, squeezed his eyes again, and said to his sisters: "I have a headache, I want to know if there is anything my sisters can do."

Yingchun hurriedly asked him what happened.

Jia Cong said: "I want to dig out a bird's nest on the top of a tree, but I can't reach it no matter what."

Yingchun Tanchun Daiyu was startled when she heard this.

"People who can reach it will definitely not help me."

The three of them turned their heads to stare at Jia Cong.

Only Xichun was still thinking about the geometric model, and said casually, "Is there a ladder?"

Jia Cong smiled wryly and said, "The ladder is too short." A fourth-rank petty official who was just awarded has not yet warmed up...

Xichun said, "Cut down the tree."

Jia Cong shivered: "Fourth sister is so domineering! Your brother doesn't have that ability for the time being."

Xichun laughed and said, "Since that's the case, don't you have a slingshot? Use the slingshot to see if you can hit it accurately?"

Jia Cong was taken aback.After blinking, he said for a long time: "It's also a way, but the slingshot must be accurate."

Xichun laughed and said, "No, it's because you haven't practiced kung fu well."

Jia Cong asked the other sisters: "Is there any other way?"

Tanchun and Daiyu looked at each other, and Daiyu said, "Don't be fooled, it would be bad if you didn't hit the wild goose and make it peck your eyes."

Jia Cong nodded: "I know, don't worry, sister." Nai walked away with the book list in his sleeve.

Tanchun Daiyu watched him from behind for a long time.
