The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

But Jia Huan rushed to the Taiping Escort in a hurry, and together with Gong Sanyi asked Liu Aiyun about his trip.

Liu Aiyun said: "This matter is quite strange. At first, General Li looked arrogant, but he was careful to flatter the eldest prince. I think the eldest prince is a bit like floating clouds. Who knows the next day? Something is different. Although he is still flattering the First Prince, he doesn't see the flattery from the first day. And he looked at the Second Prince with murderous intent on the first day, but it disappeared the next day."

Jia Huan thought for a while and asked, "Is he blatant to see how murderous the Second Prince is?"

Liu Aiyun said: "Yes."

Jia Huan said: "They are still on the mountain..."

Liu Aiyun waved her hand: "Third Master, I still have some important things to say."

Jia Huan hurriedly gestured for him to speak first.

"As far as I am an actor, he has been acting from the beginning to the end."

Gong Sanyi and Jia Huan looked at each other, and Gong Sanyi said: "Please explain more clearly."

Liu Aiyun said: "I'm an actor, so I can tell more than others if someone is singing. What I said just now, no matter whether I am arrogant or looking at the second prince's killing intent, they are all singing. It's just that I don't sing very well. Well, you can’t coax my eyes away. But I don’t know how many eyes you can coax away.”

Jia Huan nodded, then went forward and said: "When they were still on the mountain, I pretended to be your fancier and wandered around. I heard his soldiers say, 'The general said, since the crown prince has not been established, anyone can do it. Why is he the second child?' Since everyone Liu said that he is singing an opera, and he sings the whole set, I am afraid that he sings it sincerely for me."

Gong San also frowned and said: "Li Guopei is a fighting general. He is strong in front of the battle, but he is not very talented as a leader. He once saved the old sage's driver, and he is very trusted by the old man. They all stayed together with the two Nan'an princes. The two Nan'an princes are not fighting generals. On the surface, he is a subordinate of the prince, but in fact he supervises. He was reckless and greedy in his early years, and he learned after suffering a few times. He behaved much better. I saw that the eldest prince didn't have the guts to win him over - Hebei is too close to Beijing, so he said that he didn't have the guts. The saint himself didn't have the guts in the early years. I'm afraid the eldest prince was wronged this time. .”

Jia Huan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's it! He was reckless and greedy, and it is reasonable to pretend to be a powerful and seductive person. He is not the eldest prince. The eldest prince himself has not been aware of the fact that he framed the eldest prince to have a personal relationship with the general."

Gong San also said: "That's right. The First Prince was a bit ecstatic, but he was overjoyed. He didn't expect that Li Guopei would help him."

Liu Aiyun asked: "But I don't know why he suddenly changed to another play? The change was quite abrupt, not only I could see it, but in my opinion, Master Feng Ziying could also see it."

Jia Huan hurriedly asked: "The sage was taken away by the rebels, how is Brother Feng?"

Liu Aiyun said: "He has a sad face and is often absent-minded."

Jia Huan recited a Buddha, and then asked, "Did anything strange happen that night?"

Liu Aiyun shook her head.After a long while, he suddenly laughed and said: "I don't know which mother-in-law is the father-in-law singing at the palace gate, but he has a son. What he said is very interesting, and he also forcibly puts a big cloud shoulder of loyalty on Master Li."

Gong San also said: "This matter is not difficult to investigate."

Jia Huan clicked his tongue and said, "Mr. Gong, how powerful are you!"

Gong San also snorted.

Because they couldn't guess the person behind Li Guopei and their intentions for the time being, the three had to give up for the time being.Jia Huan flew to Shangshufu on a flying horse.

Su Zheng was jumping and muttering, Ge Qiao just didn't hear him, and refused to let him go anyway, Lin Hai was watching the joke with a teacup.Jia Huan hastily said Liu Aiyun's words, and persuaded him: "That Li Guopei is probably not the eldest prince, but he is probably not a loyal minister either."

Su Zheng said: "Why isn't he a loyal minister? He didn't intend to support the establishment, because he was cautious, fearing that some young people would take the opportunity to make trouble, so he pretended to sing about Dong Zhuo dominating the capital."

Jia Huan smiled wryly and said, "Then why did he sing another opera? Why didn't he sing it from the beginning to the end, and repeat it again when he arrived at the palace gate? Mr. Su, Mr. Liu is a very accomplished actor. He judges whether people are acting or not." , Is it a different play, you can’t read it wrong. Besides, you should know that not everyone is Master Liu, and many people can’t tell that he is singing. If the eunuch didn’t come out suddenly and say that , some people will still be suspicious of him acting like a big prince—I heard that the sage is very suspicious."

Su Zheng stunned him for a moment.Lin Hai thought about it: "Huan'er is right. Anyway, the eldest prince will not be good."

Jia Huan's eyes lit up: "Could the head of the eunuch be the eldest prince's mother?"

Lin Hai was stunned for a moment, then stood up suddenly: "I'll go to King Xian's mansion."

Jia Huan opened his mouth, but quickly closed it.

When he returned to Rongguo Mansion for a while, Jia Huan felt tired all over, his eyelids kept drooping, and fell asleep on the kang without even eating dinner.Aunt Zhao's heart ached, she stood by her side and never left.

After dinner, Wang Shanbao's family came to have a look.Aunt Zhao usually didn't dare to speak when she saw her, but since Jia Amnesty left Beijing, she felt decent, and when Jia Huan rescued Jia Zheng, she became even more decent.Walking in the mansion every day, many women and maids who used to look down on her respectfully rushed to call her "Aunt and Grandma", which made her even more proud.Seeing Wang Shanbao's family coming at this moment, he just nodded.He asked again: "Why do you come to us when you have time? I heard that you accompanied the eldest wife to send the spirit of the Supreme Emperor, and you just came back today?"

Wang Shanbao's flattering smile said: "Yes, I just came back. Aren't you here to say hello to my aunt?"

Aunt Zhao said with a smile: "Which nameplate we are on, we are also worthy of Grandma Wang's greetings."

Wang Shanbao's family hurriedly came up and said compliments for half a day, flattering Aunt Zhao from ear to ear.He also talked about the days when Mrs. Xing was surrounded by rebels, and only had half a bowl of porridge in two days, which was saved by Mrs. Xing, and she wiped away tears.Later he said: "Fortunately, there is Liu Aiyun, an opera singer in Beijing, Mrs. Liu, who is young and has a heart of a Buddha. He led his Fan Club and risked his death in front of the rebels to deliver food to the Holy One! Pity us My wife hasn't had a full meal in the past ten days... Usually, those wives and grandmas only say that Master Liu is just an ordinary actor, but at that moment they all insisted that he must be the Buddha's lower realm to save sentient beings. Those who love to listen to his plays My wife and grandma are all very happy, and they don't care about their grades. Everyone surrounds her and compliments whoever is Liu's fans. Our wife also said that when the old saint's filial piety is over, please invite Liu to come to our house to sing twice. , it’s just that all the wives and grandma are queuing up, I don’t know which year to go.”

Aunt Zhao asked curiously: "What is the origin of that Master Liu? Are you really not afraid of rebels?"

Wang Shanbao's family said: "I heard from an old woman in the Beijing Prince's Mansion that although Master Liu was born in a poor family, when he was born, the sky was full of clouds and the sun was shining brightly..."

Jia Huan woke them up a long time ago. He was too lazy to move, but he couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing this: "Nonsense! He himself once said that he was born at night."

Aunt Zhao hurriedly turned around: "Huan'er! Are you awake? Are you hungry? Let the kitchen make you something to eat."

Jia Huan stretched his waist and touched his belly: "I'm hungry. I just don't want to eat meat, so I ordered someone to bring some porridge and vegetarian dishes."

The little maid at the side, Xiao Que'er, agreed and left.

Only then did Wang Shanbao's family dare to come forward to salute: "I have seen Mr. Huan."

Jia Huan asked, "Is there something wrong with Mrs. Wang coming here?"

Wang Shanbao's family said: "Our wife wants to invite the third master to go."

Jia Huan nodded: "I'll go after dinner."

Wang Shanbao's family hurriedly thanked him, and then asked: "Does the third master know Mr. Liu?"

Jia Huan said: "Master Liu and Big Brother Xue are good friends, and I know him too."

Wang Shanbao's family hurriedly recited a Buddha: "Master Liu must be the next generation of the Buddha. Since the third master recognizes Master Liu, he must be a great person. If there is no him, the servant will starve to death."

Jia Huan smiled and sent her away.As soon as she went out, Aunt Zhao immediately pulled Jia Huan and asked, "Who is this Master Liu?"

Jia Huan said: "He's a good friend. Auntie don't need to worry about it, I entrusted him with the meal from the fan club."

Aunt Zhao hurriedly shook his hand: "You entrusted me?"

Jia Huan said: "I'm afraid that there are too many nobles in the imperial tomb, there is not enough food, and our master is hungry, so I asked him to sing such a play."

Aunt Zhao stomped her feet and said, "Why did you entrust him with such a great reputation? Why don't you come out yourself?"

Jia Huan said: "All those who give money and food are his fanciers, and I don't have so many fanciers! There is a lot of money and food. Even if we have so much money, we don't have so many people to send it to. Besides, my aunt just saw it." Yes. Although I was doing it for my father, I also fed a large group of gentlemen and wives incidentally. It is a good thing that such a big reputation fell to him as an actor, who would guard against an actor? It fell to me There must be something bad on the head of the young master of Rongguo Mansion. As the saying goes, a big tree attracts the wind and shakes the tree, and a person is famous. It is good that the master is not hungry anyway, and it doesn't matter to others."

Aunt Zhao didn't understand, all she knew was that Jia Huan said it was a bad thing, so she let it go.He stroked his head and neck again and sighed: "Your filial piety, the master may not know." He rolled his eyes again, "That precious phoenix egg only knows to stomp and sigh in the mansion, the master is trapped and has no ability to go Help, but there are still so many people supporting him."

Jia Huan said with a smile: "how many people praise him? In the past, except for those in the yard of our ancestors, no one else praised him. It's just that there are a few more after my uncle left Beijing. They love to praise him, and I don't." Love to be held by someone."

The two mothers gossiped, Xiao Que'er brought porridge, Jia Huan drank two bowls, and ordered "make some snacks with me, and I'll eat them when I come back", and then went to Mrs. Xing.

Because Jia Amnesty only brought two favored concubines south, and the rest stayed in the mansion.Without Jia She, those girls immediately lost their strength, and treated Mrs. Xing with a lot of respect; Mrs. Xing's life is more comfortable than when Jia She was there these days.It's just that I was frightened this time, and it took me a long time to lie on the kang before I came back to my senses.Another woman who didn't go with her came to talk back and talk about the affairs of the mansion in detail.Hearing that Jia Zheng disappeared that day, it turned out that Jia Huan tried to rescue the mansion first, and stayed for a long time before saying, "I never thought that Brother Huan has this ability!" Panic all the way.

When Jia Huan came, she laughed and pulled him to sit beside her, and said, "Brother Huan, I heard that you are very promising. Your aunt is so lucky to support you."

Jia Huan said with a smile: "I'm going to be successful anywhere, but I'm just an ordinary scholar. What's the matter with the eldest lady calling me?"

Madam Xing immediately shed tears, wiped it with a handkerchief, and sighed: "I have been in this mansion for a long time, although I have never left a man or a woman for the old man, there is nothing wrong with it. There is hard work without credit. This time I was in fear day and night in the imperial mausoleum, and finally came back to the mansion. The only one in the family, Brother Zhu's daughter-in-law, sent a daughter-in-law who was in charge to ask about it, and others acted as if they hadn't seen me. .” As he spoke, tears fell like rain.

Jia Huan said: "Madam, please don't blame me. Everyone else has their own reasons. I'm so busy that I don't touch the ground..."

Mrs. Xing hurriedly said: "I know Brother Huan is busy with important things, and I don't mean to blame you. Don't worry too much."

Jia Huan smiled and waved his hands, and then said: "The old ancestor is sick; because the second wife has only come back, brother Baoyu may not be in the mood to think of others. Naturally, it is inconvenient for the second master to send someone over."

Madam Xing said with a wry smile: "Is the old lady really sick? It's fine if people outside don't know, but people in our house don't know?"

Jia Huan suddenly remembered that he didn't hide this matter from the insiders, felt a little embarrassed, patted his head and said: "Actually... the second wife is the same. The ancestor didn't favor any daughter-in-law."

Mrs. Xing said dejectedly: "That's right, I just don't pay attention to both of them." Nai then said, "I heard that my younger brother came to you to inquire about these days when I was not in the mansion?"

Jia Huan nodded: "Uncle Xing came to look for me."

Mrs. Xing laughed at herself: "I will grow old in the future, so Lian's second master Cong and third master can't be counted on? How have they ever paid attention to my aunt."

Jia Huan thought for a while, and said honestly, "Second brother Lian still has a little bit, but Cong'er doesn't have any."

Mrs. Xing wept again: "Why can't I stop treating them?"

Jia Huan said honestly again: "They are not dissatisfied with their wives, they just don't have a wife in their hearts, and they can't remember it for no reason. The second elder brother Lian is better, and he can remember if his wife reminds him; Cong'er is busier. Even if I remind you, I can’t remember.”

Mrs. Xing looked at him: "You are so friendly with brother Cong, how can you speak ill of him?"

Jia Huan said: "It's not a bad word, it's the truth. Cong'er doesn't like others to say good or bad things about him, but only loves us to tell the truth. Looking back, his wife is not who he is, he can't remember."

Madam Xing gritted her teeth and said, "I am his aunt!"

Jia Huan said: "The second wife is also my aunt. She hasn't come to look for me in recent years, so I can't think of her either. This is human nature."

Mrs. Xing was just about to argue a few words, but seeing Jia Huan's indifferent appearance, she was suddenly discouraged.It took a long time to say: "Therefore, if I want to ask Brother Cong to find a good home for my niece, he will definitely not agree?"

Only then did Jia Huan understand what she meant today, and said, "That's not the case, it's just that everyone else has gone to the south."

Mrs. Xing hurriedly said: "He can write a letter back to Beijing! He knows so many princes and lords, it is very easy to recommend a good family at random!"

Jia Huan laughed and said, "It's not about buying vegetables! It's not that easy. Why don't you entrust a matchmaker to find out, at least they are relatives in our house, so you can always save face."

Jia Huan just said something casually, and Mrs. Xing thought it was his answer, and nodded repeatedly: "After all, you are a good person." He sighed, "No one in this house cares about me, only They are my own brothers and nieces, so I can still count on some."

Jia Huan frowned, and told her intentionally that they only came to inquire about her life for the sake of relatives, and they might not be willing to take care of her on weekdays, and felt that it was not good to tell too much truth at this moment, so she swallowed it.After a while, he persuaded: "If the eldest wife wants to be reliable in old age, it is better to go to the Yangsheng Hall to adopt a adopted son. If you want to come, uncle and Lian, second brother, and Cong'er will not refuse."

Mrs. Xing's eyes jumped.

"Don't go hugging among the clansmen. If you hug an uncle with parents and relatives, you will definitely not accept it, and you will definitely not accept Lian's second brother who is surnamed Jia."

Mrs. Xing said: "Isn't that not included in Jia's genealogy?"

Jia Huan blinked: "What the eldest wife wants is trustworthiness. What do you want him to enter the genealogy? It's just to support someone to take care of you. The things of Jia's family have nothing to do with him, only an ordinary monthly payment. Besides, he can be promising himself, so why would he need someone else's?"

Madam Xing hesitated again.

Jia Huan said, "That's all my nephew said. The eldest lady can decide for herself."

Aunt Zhao at the other end saw Jia Huan leaving the courtyard gate, and immediately ran to find Jia Zheng, dragged him for a long time and said, "How filial Huan'er is! Huan'er entrusted Huaner to deliver the meal to the master in the imperial mausoleum." Yes! Others can eat only because of the honor of the master!"

At first Jia Zheng kept frowning, wanting to call Jia Huan to scold him, why did he make friends with actors; then he heard "other people are in the spotlight", and he felt more at ease.
