The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that Liu Tong fled overnight with the new emperor and queen mother, Jiannan Jiedu made Fang Xiong occupy the capital, and the people in the capital were panicked.Jia Cong and others hurriedly asked Gong Sanyi what Fang Xiong came from.

Gong San also said with a little disgust: "This man was also the former emperor's favorite general. He had a good relationship with Prince Yizhong in the early years. After the sage abolished the prince, his words and letters were ambiguous, and he finally stood still. Otherwise, the fearful man in Tianjin Dongshou It's early death."

Jia Huan twitched his lips and said, "I'm afraid that he never thought of making friends with Prince Yizhong at all, but he made friends with the prince. The old fox will not scatter hawks if he doesn't see a rabbit."

Jia Cong smiled and teased him: "Don't say it so clearly, save some face for the gentleman."

Gong San also glared at them both.

Yao'er thought: "The capital is in such chaos, and the saint can't be rescued for a while. Will Feng Tang, Ganlei and others not return to Beijing?"

Gong San also said: "With saints, everything is easy to do. Without saints, what are they going to do when they return to Beijing? The Yulin army will not worry about having food - they can open warehouses to get food anywhere. Others don't mind. Feng Tang must believe that Situ Pan can hold on From the capital." He sneered, "It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, so what if he has the wisdom of Kong Ming? Besides, Situ Pan has long been self-reliant."

Jia Cong sighed: "People in the world often think that others remain the same forever, but in fact, Bao Buqi changes overnight."

After waiting for another two days, various news came from Yihong Court. Fang Xiong was weighing the remaining princes and wanted to help one of them to take the stage.The second prince has put on a birthday show, wine and polo without asking about government affairs.People from the Sixth Prince's family came back to Rongguo Mansion again, asking Jia Huan for advice.Jia Huan said: "If the name is not right, it is not right, and Fang Xiong is not a good king." The sixth prince fell ill.

I never thought that Mr. Mei would come to see Jia Huan.Jia Huan wanted to pretend he wasn't there, but was curious about what was going on with the eldest prince, so he ordered someone to invite him in.

When Mr. Mei entered the door, he bowed and said, "I concealed something that day, and I wanted to tell Mr. Jia later, but you obviously didn't intend to join in, so you just let it go."

Jia Huan said: "Since that's the case, it goes without saying, I don't want to know anyway."

Mr. Mei was very thick-skinned, and said to himself: "The student is really a relative of the Dingcheng Marquis's Mansion, and it happened that the eldest prince was recruiting talents, so he went."

Jia Huan glanced at him: "So you are in Cao Ying and your heart is in Han Dynasty. On the surface, you are with the First Prince, but in fact you are a member of the Seventh Prince."

Mr. Mei laughed and said, "I don't have to reuse it either, I just run some errands."

Jia Huan shook his head: "Forget it, there is no need to say it so clearly. You are here today to recruit me into the Seventh Prince's staff, right?"

Mr. Mei said: "Of course not. The Marquis of Dingcheng knows that the Rongguo Mansion is a loyal family, so he just wants to ask Mr. Jia: In today's situation, with the youngest of the Seventh Prince, what should we do?"

Jia Huan said: "Of course, you can hide as far away as possible. It's not up to him to go anywhere, so why make trouble."

Hearing this, Mr. Mei clapped his hands and laughed, "San Jia really deserves his reputation!" After saying that, he bowed deeply to him and left!The second monk Jia Huanzhang was puzzled.

Two days later, it was suddenly heard on the street that the Seventh Prince had disappeared out of thin air!Jia Huan suddenly felt that the surname Mei was wrong, but he didn't know anything about her surname Mei.He also heard that the Seventh Prince was still nowhere to be seen after several days of extensive searches in the palace, Mr. Xie Gui was already half-mad.Hou Fangxiong killed many eunuchs and maids for some reason.A few days later, the Ministry of Rites was busy.Fang Xiong wants to support the fifth prince.When Jia Huan and Yao'er got the news, they were practicing boxing and kicking, Jia Cong rolled his eyes from the side: "I just watched them pretend to be aggressive."

The Fifth Prince is different from the First Prince.The eldest prince is the eldest son, although many officials know that Liu Tong is a traitor, they secretly agree with the word "eldest son" in their hearts, and they disapprove of the second prince being the crown prince.Moreover, the eldest prince is old, so he can govern himself by seeing him.The fifth prince was only seven years old, and he was clearly a puppet.Therefore, many sick ministers in the DPRK recovered from their illnesses, and they wrote letters and wrote articles, swearing and crying bitterly, and refused to agree.Fang Xiong unambiguously killed seven or eight of them, ransacked several families, and sent a dozen to the imperial prison.The lords still haven't made a move.

One month after the eldest prince left Beijing, the fifth prince ascended the throne, and Fang Xiong held great power.Tianjin is close at hand, but the Imperial Forest Army has no intention of returning to Beijing, which seems more and more strange.

In the past, people in the court thought that Fang Xiong was similar to Liu Tong, but the second day after he came to power, he let the world know that the two are completely different.In the name of the new emperor, Fang Xiong ordered Hu Jinsheng, the general manager, to thoroughly investigate several dignitaries.These are all veterans of the former emperor. If they hadn't been robbed today, it's probably time to start investigating them now.

Jia Cong laughed when he heard this: "This guy is here to steal money! Thanks to the patronage of these brothers Liu."

Jia Huan said: "Fortunately, our family has already announced that the world is very poor, so we can't make up our minds."

Yao'er frowned and said: "It's just that I bypassed the mother's family of the princes and lords, none of those families are clean and honest."

Jia Cong put his shoulders on his shoulders and said: "It has nothing to do with us anyway, just eat snacks and watch the fun."

Unexpectedly, after watching the liveliness for a few days, something new came to my door.

It turned out that Xing Xiuyan had already married into the Dingcheng Hou's residence when their thoughts were all around Fang Xiong.Mrs. Xing has been looking for a suitable adopted son for several months because of Jia Huan's persuasion.Because Xing Zhong was grateful for her helping Xing Xiuyan get a good marriage, he also helped her check around.

Coincidentally, a few days ago there was a family who had fled. The master was also a scholar. Because his teacher was killed by Fang Xiong, he was implicated, and the officials robbed the family property.The hostess cried and moaned day and night, and one day he found a shoe and a scarf by the moat, and presumably jumped into the river to his death.The hostess cried for a few days, and then took some kind of poison and committed suicide.The two old mothers wanted to send the child to the Yangshengtang because they didn't want to take the young master with them.Although Xing Zhong has long since moved away from the Muni Court, he still lives not far away, and often goes to see the old neighbors.Hearing about this, and seeing that the child was white, cute and pitiful, he recommended him to Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing went to Muni Court in person.When I saw the child was only three and a half years old, his big watery eyes were full of fear because of the loss of his parents, he was very pitiful.However, advances and retreats are very disciplined, which is obviously well-bred.Mrs. Xing immediately fell in love with her and hugged her in her arms: "What's your name?"

The child said: "My name is Quan'er."

Mrs. Xing asked him his age, what he likes to read, what he likes to eat, etc., and he answered clearly.Finally asked him if he would like to be his son, Quan Er said with tears in his eyes, "My wife is kind, Quan Er is willing."

Mrs. Xing was overjoyed, and immediately said to the aunt of the Muni Court who came to help: "I am willing to adopt him!"

The aunt recited the Buddha's ten together and said, "It's good! If the almsgiver is merciful, there will be future blessings."

He also asked the child's real name. It turned out that his surname was Han, and he was called Han Quan.Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "It's actually perfect."

So he brought him back and took him to see Jia Mu, asking him to support himself.

Mother Jia heard that his father's teacher had offended Fang Xiong, so she didn't want Mrs. Xing to keep him.It's just that when I saw that the child was really cute, polite and kind, I was reluctant to send it out.Sighed: "I'm sorry to see you." Then he acquiesced.Mrs. Xing hurriedly ordered people to make clothes and shoes with him; and regardless of the fact that the whole city was silent at this moment, she told people everywhere that she had raised a son.Fearing that Fang Xiong would be unhappy if she made too much publicity, Jia's mother ordered Yuanyang to tell her, so she restrained herself a bit.

At this juncture, Mrs. Xing brought back a brother for Jia Lian and Jia Cong, how could Jia Cong take it lightly?However, he didn't tell anyone that he was back in Beijing now, except that he only went to see Heizi who was too lazy to move every day at the Taiping Escort, and he was always avoiding the people in Rongguo Mansion!Therefore, I can't see what the child looks like in person, so I hurriedly ordered Luo Tainiang to investigate thoroughly.

Not long after, Luo Tainiang found out.A few days ago, there was a censor Tang Dong who had Fang Xiong killed, and his disciple Guozijian Xuezheng Han He was implicated in ransacking his home and seizing property, probably this family.Jia Cong hurriedly said, "Check it out more carefully, and see if there are any other relatives." Luo Tainiang went to check again, but found something wrong.According to his neighbors, Han He and his wife Zhao had no children, and after ransacking their home, they went to the Chenghuang Temple in the west of the city instead of the Muni Temple.Then go to the Chenghuang Temple to check, there are now full of refugees and beggars, some people die every day, no one knows who Han He is.

Jia Cong is a cheater. He has read all kinds of gossip stories, so it is inevitable that his thinking is outrageous.He thought over and over again, and said to Gong Sanyi: "I'm always worried about that child named Han Quan, but now I can't investigate thoroughly."

Gong San also said: "How about letting Huan'er go and talk to him?"

Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "It's useless to talk about it." He thought for a long time, and said, "He has to check himself carefully."

So I went back to the previous method again.On this day, Jia Huan sent someone to drug Madam Xing and others' dinner, fascinating everyone in her yard.Jia Huan, Jia Cong, Gong Sanyi and the three of them searched Han Quan's house carefully, and even the child Han Quan himself was picked up and searched cleanly. He didn't remove any clothes, shoes and socks, but nothing was found.It's just that the child is wearing this extremely delicate purse around his neck, and inside it is a suet white jade pendant, which is delicate and exquisite, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can have.Finally, he found a bellyband under his bedding. Gong Sanyi squeezed it with his hands, and smiled and gave it to his two brothers.The two of them also squeezed, and Jia Huan said: "Obviously there is an interlayer." It's just that it's inconvenient to dismantle it at will at this moment, for fear of alarming the child.The three retreated for the time being.

After leaving the courtyard, Jia Cong couldn't help sighing: "Pian Jinjianghong. The sleeves are all in the south, otherwise how can such an idea of ​​needlework be difficult for them? I don't feel relieved to give it to ordinary needleworkers."

Gong San is also worried.In this group of people, there is really no one who is very good at needlework.Qin Keqing used to go on dates, but she was so busy all these years that she couldn't move the needle horizontally and the vertical thread couldn't tangle, so she might not be able to take this thing apart and sew it back together.

Jia Cong suddenly said: "I think of someone, maybe I can give it a try."

Jia Huan hurriedly asked, "Who?"

"Your aunt!"

Jia Huan frowned and said, "I'm afraid she's not tight-lipped."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "But she has always been very tight-lipped about anything that is beneficial to you."

Jia Huan thought for a while, and there was really no one else, so she made up a set of words to coax her.Aunt Zhao laughed and said: "Don't coax me, just say what to do for you, and I don't want to inquire about those things outside of your men." Jia Huan laughed a few times.

The candidate is established, and it will be easy to handle later.Jia Huan took advantage of Han Quan's opportunity to accompany Mrs. Xing to visit Xing Xiuyan, and took the bellyband from under his bedding, and hurriedly took it back to her yard.Aunt Zhao opened a thin slit for him, and pulled out the interlayer from the inside—it turned out to be a handkerchief with many handwritings densely packed on it.Jia Huan didn't look at it, but just stuffed another kerchief in, and troubled Aunt Zhao to sew it back cleverly.

Aunt Zhao patted her chest and said, "My son, don't worry! No one will be able to see it."

Jia Huan said: "In a few days, we will open the seams like this again."

Aunt Zhao showed off: "Even if the seam is removed a hundred times, no one will be able to see it!"

Jia Huan hastily praised her for a long time, making Aunt Zhao laugh from ear to ear.

After Aunt Zhao finished sewing the bellyband, Jia Huan stuffed it back as it was, and then turned to a place where there was no one to look at the veil.Can't help sighing: "Cong'er is so clever! You can guess such things." He hurriedly got rid of it and rode to the escort agency.

It turned out that Han Quan's birth date and his origin were written in small letters on the veil in detail, and his real name was: Situ Yi, the seventh son of the emperor.

Several people passed on the veil for a long time, and Jia Cong said triumphantly, "What did I say? The first person who became suspicious was the seventh child of their family, who was exactly the same age. Most of the coincidences in the world are man-made."

Jia Huan suddenly laughed loudly: "I know what that Mr. Mei came to find me so suddenly that day! He was testing whether I would like to join in the fun. Those who don't like to join in the fun must protect themselves. Our family has some skills. There is Wang's family in the south and Gao's family in the west, so it is safe and appropriate to foster the seventh son of the emperor in our family."

Gong San also said: "Not only that, there are many talents. Situ Wan is not dead. They have big plans."

Jia Cong looked at the handkerchief and said with a smile, "I have to do some more work for Luo Tainiang."

He then ordered Luo Tainiang to try to get some Han He's handwriting.Gong San also has some skills in copying a book, and he wrote the false imperial decree that day in imitation of today's handwriting.The old man took a piece of handkerchief used by ordinary people, copied Han Quan's birth date in imitation of Han He's handwriting, and added "Guozijian Xuezheng, son of Han He in Xiangyang, wife Zhao" and so on.Taking advantage of one day when someone urged Mrs. Xing to go to the Muni Court to fulfill her wish, she changed the handkerchief from Han Quan's belly pocket.

Jia Huan twisted the handkerchief in the palace and asked, "How to deal with this?"

Jia Cong reached out to him, "Give it to me."

Jia Huan handed it over to him.

He took a straight plug and put it into the tea stove, and it burned up with the charcoal in a short while.

Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "Who is Situ Yao? I don't know him. If someone says that there is a Situ Yao hidden in our house, let him show evidence."

Gong San also said: "What about the jade pendant?"

Jia Cong said: "Although it is rare, it is not unique. In the future, I will order people to imitate it. It will not be surprising if there are more."

Gong San also laughed and said, "It's just that your ideas are different."

Jia Cong sighed: "You picked up a big fat boy for nothing, you have to leave something for the child, don't you? It's really unlucky to be born in the emperor's family."

While they were busy destroying the evidence, Fang Xiong had copied several big households with all kinds of real or fake witnesses, and Jingzhong became more and more panicked.
