The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that Mei Hanlin's family wanted to divorce Xue Baoqin, Xue's family knew that they were willing to get married in order to make money and immediately agreed, and the two families broke off the engagement very quickly.Luo Tainiang sent people to investigate for several days. From the matchmaker and beggar to the most tongue-in-cheek daughter-in-law of his family, she never heard of Mr. Mei having any lovers, nor did she find out that his family wanted to marry someone else.

Jia Cong sighed when he heard the newspaper: "This is the original sin."

Jia Huan kicked him: "Speak human."

Jia Cong said: "Original sin is a crime without fault." Immediately, he stretched out one finger, "Wealth." Then he stretched out three fingers, "Beauty, occupying the position or things that others want, and parents The fault of a family friend. For things like divorce, since it is not that the Mei family has another girl, it can only be that someone wants to marry Miss Xue. Since she stays at home and no one will take a fancy to her beauty, then Eighty percent of it is because someone more tyrannical than the Mei family has taken a fancy to the money of the Xue family, and ninety percent of it has something to do with the Situ."

Yao'er said: "Xue's family is Prince Teng's in-laws. This time there is no Yue king, probably none of the kings is sure that he will be able to subdue Lord Wang."

Jia Huan frowned and said, "Where did this strange idea of ​​'getting benefits from marriage' come from?"

Jia Cong said with a smile: "It was probably passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, the wives of the kings still had some power. Later, it gradually disappeared, and this idea still remains." Nai glanced at Jia Huan, "Go and remind Xue Eldest sister go?"

Jia Huan said lazily: "You go. I have to go back to the house to take care of Xiao Hanquan." After saying that, he picked up his feet and walked away.

Jia Cong stared at him from behind for a long time, but had no choice but to go to Xue's courtyard by himself.

Xue Baochai is currently checking the accounts.Xue's family already had quite a few pawnshops.Since Fang Xiong entered Beijing, the business of the pawn shop has been getting better and better, and more and more bargains have been made for nothing. Xue Baochai is much busier than before.Hearing that Jia Cong was coming, he hurriedly asked him to come in, and said with a smile: "My place is a bit messy, I hope brother Cong can't be blamed."

Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "It's okay, sister, don't entertain me." Then he raised his eyes and looked at Xue Baochai carefully.He hadn't taken a serious look at the second heroine of the original novel for many years.Looking at this woman again, not to mention her beautiful appearance, her temperament has changed.The dignity in the early years has turned into calmness, and the gentleness in the early years has become indifferent.In the original book, her house was like a snow cave, but now this house is gorgeous and elegant, and it is definitely not worse than Miss Gonghou's.Can't help saying, "Today's Big Sister Xue is the real Big Sister Xue."

Baochai said with a smile, "Is yesterday's fake?"

Jia Cong shrugged, pointed to a string of pearls with a phoenix holding a peony on her head and said: "This is beautiful." Baochai smiled.He went on to say, "In the past, the second wife said that Big Sister Xue had a weird temper and didn't like flower fans, so I thought it was fake. If you don't like flower fans, you have to like knives and swords, and no matter how bad you are, you have to like abacus books My sister. At that time, my sister was about the same age as I am now? I didn’t think you seemed like a person who likes swords and abacus. Did you pretend at that time?”

Baochai looked at him for a while, and sighed softly: "You boy, don't you show mercy outside?"

Jia Cong said: "When you are happy, you don't stay. When you are unhappy, you ignore it."

Baochai nodded and said, "So you are quite happy today."

Jia Cong said: "It's not really happy... Do you think I said this to my face in the early years? Forget it, I won't mention it before. Now I have another matter to come to Big Sister Xue."

Baochai hurriedly asked what was the matter.

Jia Cong talked about the Mei family again, and said: "I'm here to remind your family that if you find Miss Xue for an excellent marriage recently, be careful, I'm afraid there may be fraud."

Xue Baochai sneered: "I've guessed a bit."

Jia Cong hurriedly asked, "Has anyone come to propose?"

Baochai shook her head: "That's not the case. It's just that now every family is selling jade and antiques for gold and silver, but my family has always had the money to collect it, and no one dares to bully it. There are not many such houses in Beijing. I still Thinking about it, Mei Jiabao will come to discuss that Qin'er should be married as soon as possible. I never thought they would call off the engagement! Are they fools? If they really look down on us as merchants, they should have retired long ago."

Jia Cong praised: "Schools will treat each other with admiration for three days, and Big Sister Xue knows it all."

Xue Baochai glanced at him with a smile: "One cannot always be confused."

Jia Cong blinked, and said, "In this way, I came here for nothing."

Baochai said: "How can it be for nothing? Brother Cong didn't come, it's just my guess. If you don't keep it all, what's wrong with you?"

Jia Cong said with a smile: "If elder sister Xue can still be fooled by something, you can't control these properties." After saying this, he got up and left.

Baochai didn't leave him behind, went straight to the gate of the courtyard, turned around and went to Aunt Xue's room, and told her about it.

Aunt Xue was shocked: "Is it possible for Qin'er to be watched by someone?"

Baochai sighed: "Ninety percent of it is true. According to Cong'er, it is either the prince's relatives or the prince's relatives. This war is in chaos, and the emperor doesn't know whether he is dead or alive. These princes and princes are not to be messed with. If they get involved, they will not be safe." It's a whole lot of copying."

Aunt Xue's expression moved when she heard about the prince and prince, and then she heard that the whole family was being cut off, and she hurriedly said: "Then why don't we find her a husband's house first!" She stomped her feet again, "Your brother is still outside and hasn't come back yet. !"

Baochai said: "Mother, don't worry. There is such a mess in Beijing. It may not be a good thing for my brother to come back. Besides, there is no rush for this matter. After all, Harp is still young, and our girls will not worry about getting married."

Speaking of this, Aunt Xue became worried again: "Qin'er is still young, but you are not young, so what should I do!"

Baochai smiled and took Aunt Xue's hand and said, "Don't worry, mother, I have my own way of life."

On the other side, Jia Huan went back to Rongguo Mansion to meet Jia Zheng before returning to his own courtyard.When Aunt Zhao saw him, she hurriedly said: "My son! The old lady sent someone to visit three times, asking if you have come back." After tidying up my clothes, I had no choice but to go to Jiamu's courtyard.

When Jia Mu saw him coming, she hurriedly sent all the servants out, pulled him and asked, "Huan'er, let me ask you. Yuanyang once told me in the early years that when your second sister was still at home, she had the intention to teach you Yun Sister, do you know?"

Jia Huan said: "I know! I forgot the reason. Anyway, it seems that I heard something outside and got someone's reminder. After thinking about it for a long time, Cong'er and I think that Sister Yun is probably going to be our second grandma. Cong'er said, "Sister Yun only knows how to play every day, and she doesn't know how to take care of the account books. She doesn't recognize the housekeeper's wife. She has become the second sister-in-law of Bao, and our family can't mess up! So I troubled the second sister to help teach her. Coincidentally. In those days, Sister Yun saw that the housekeeper of the second sister was quite imposing, and she admired her very much. I heard that the two of them taught the other very well."

Mother Jia smiled and opened her eyes: "You two boys will miss my brother."

Jia Huan said: "We are just talking, and it is the second sister who teaches her."

Jia's mother said: "When your elder sister went to the south, she told me again and again that she should discuss things with you more often. Girl Yun is a good person, and I also intend to leave her to your brother. But today her aunt sent someone over and said It was a matchmaker who came to say something about the marriage for her, and came to ask my wife what she meant."

Jia Huan hurriedly said: "Since the old ancestors also have this intention, you can tell their family quickly! It's a test to keep their home, and we have a heart to test our family. The second sister has taught her for several years, and she can't help others. Raising a daughter-in-law." My ancestors!Cong'er and I even pointed to her father's reputation to win two soldiers' hearts.

Jia's mother smiled more and more comfortably: "It is said that your second elder sister took charge of this big family at a young age, and spent a lot of time teaching her, so I can't let other people get it for nothing!"

Jia Huan repeatedly said: "It is not uncommon for other families to have a girl who can manage the house. The rare thing is that she knows the characters and things in our house. The rare thing is that Sister Yun and her second brother grew up together and knew each other's temperament. , I think his two appearances are also very suitable."

Jia Mu couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, and said angrily, "You little monkey, you accidentally talked about your brother's big business." Then she laughed and sent him away.Turning around, people and Jia Zheng discussed whether to propose marriage to Shi Xiangyun for Baoyu.

Let's talk about Jia Cong.After leaving Xue's small courtyard, he ran to Sangu Qin's house in the west of the city to watch Heizi.

Qin Sangu went out to run some errands, she didn't have anything important in her room, and her subordinates were all around, so she never locked the door.Jia Cong tied the horse to the door, went in and found Heizi lying in the yard, and sat beside Heizi chatting; Heizi just listened silently.

After a while, Heizi suddenly stood up and walked slowly towards its kennel in the corner of the courtyard; Jia Cong followed him, chattering, until he reached the door of the kennel and sat down again.Heizi is just a dog, even if he finds him annoying in his heart, he has no choice but to put up with it.When it got to the nest, it pulled it a few times with its legs, dug out something from the bottom, and gave it to Jia Cong.

Jia Cong laughed and said, "What good things are you hiding?" Nai picked it up and looked at it.

Immediately, he took a deep breath.

Tiger sign.

It turned out to be a tiger talisman to mobilize soldiers and horses in the world!

Jia Cong wanted to look up to the sky and laugh: the tiger charm is in the doghouse!

Situ Pan never took this thing with him, and he trusted Sangu Qin so much that he gave it to Sangu Qin for safekeeping.Qin Sangu trusted Heizi the most, so she hid him in Heizi's kennel.Heizi is a dog, how could he know how important the tiger talisman is!Since childhood, it liked Jia Cong and regarded him as a companion, so it dug this thing out of the kennel and showed it to Jia Cong!

Holding the Tiger Talisman, Jia Cong was surprised and delighted at first, but after calming down for a while, he suddenly felt embarrassed.

This thing obviously doesn't belong to Heizi, nor does it belong to Qin Sangu.If he took it away quietly, not to mention whether Qin Sangu would be suspicious or whether Situ Pan would blame her, she would definitely feel extremely guilty.Losing the tiger talisman is no better than losing other objects, especially when the world is about to be chaotic, Situ Pan may not be able to hold this object much cheaper.If you don't take it away, you have to leave it to Situ Pan. I'm afraid it will spoil the world's plans.Nai hesitated again and again, raised his eyes to look at Heizi, finally stroked its head and said: "Heizi, this is the most important thing of the third aunt, so please watch over it." After saying this, he gently put it back into the kennel.

Heizi let out a "Wow", and pulled out the tiger talisman from inside again, and still gave it to Jia Cong.

Jia Cong smiled wryly and said, "I really can't take it, it would be very embarrassing if I take it. Third Aunt Sister. Thank you." Put it back again.

Heizi pulled out again, staring at Jia Cong with his eyes.

Jia Cong had no choice but to put it in his arms for the time being, saying: "Okay, okay, if you insist on giving it to me, I will put it away first."

Seeing that he had taken it, Heizi let out two "barks" before lying on the ground again.

Jia Cong caressed its back and continued to babble nonsensical words, even giggling alone.As I was talking, I don't know how long it had passed. Seeing that Heizi was getting more and more lethargic, and his eyes were about to close, I felt a "thump" in my heart: I am afraid that Heizi will soon die!He hastily reached out and hugged Heizi's head: "Heizi, you insist on meeting! The third aunt hasn't come back yet!"

Not daring to leave Heizi behind, Jia Cong yelled to the neighbor: "Sister-in-law of the Sun family! Are you at home? Are you at home?!"

I only heard the sister-in-law next door shouting: "I'm here! Brother, what's the matter?"

"Hurry up and ask the third aunt to come! Hurry up!" He shouted and cried.

The sister-in-law next door was startled: "What happened?"

"Bring her back! Ride my horse! It's too late!"

Sister-in-law Sun hurriedly responded, and hurried out, untied Jia Cong's horse and galloped away.

Sangu Qin already knew that Heizi would not have many days to live, and when she heard the news, she immediately guessed what had happened, she hurriedly dropped everything in her hands and rushed back to the courtyard.Seeing Jia Cong hugging Heizi and weeping hard, he almost thought it was too late, his calf was weak, and he shouted tremblingly, "Is it still there?"

Jia Cong said anxiously, "I'm still waiting for you."

Qin Sangu rushed over, and Jia Cong carefully handed Heizi to her.Heizi could barely keep his eyes open, seeing that Sangu had come back, he barked and licked her hand vigorously.Qin Sangu had already cried into tears.

Soon Heizi left, Qin Sangu and Jia Cong burst into tears.Heizi still lay quietly on Sangu's lap as if he had fallen asleep.

Weeping until both of them were hoarse, Jia Cong said, "Third Aunt, where do you put it?"

Qin Sangu said: "I've thought about it a long time ago, and it's in the yard. With it here, I can feel at ease day and night."

Jia Cong nodded, then stretched out his hand to caress Heizi's head to his back, and said after a long time: "I know that it will leave earlier than me, and I also know that it can live longer than ordinary dogs. It can be regarded as very alive. It's just reluctant. "

Sangu Qin looked down at Heizi: "I don't want to part with it either. Let's keep it for a while today and bury it tomorrow."

Jia Cong said: "Waiting for me to dig a hole for it tomorrow."

Qin Sangu agreed, got up and carried Heizi back to the house.Seeing Jia Cong sitting motionless in front of the kennel, he ignored him.

Only then did Jia Cong realize that Heizi gave him the Tiger Talisman as an inheritance.It's just that he can't want this thing, at least not this time.While Qin Sangu went in, he took out the tiger amulet from his arms and rubbed it for a while, then put it back in the kennel.

The next day, the three boys from the Jia family and Feng Ziying all came to see Heizi for the last time, and they dug a hole in the backyard with Qin Sangu.Sangu had already ordered a coffin for him at the coffin shop, and now it has been brought, and Heizi lay quietly in it for burial.Just no tombstones.The third aunt said: "Anyway, we all remember it in our hearts. We set up a monument for others to see, and Heizi doesn't care for others to think about it."
