The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that Jia Amnesty led the people to carry some silver ingots out of the Rongguo Mansion warehouse, and was in a great mood. Several people at the scene, including the little boy Jia Cong, were allotted one immediately.

Because of his small strength, Yao'er helped him carry the money, and they were still asleep when the two returned to the house.Jia Cong was quite curious and asked, "Will they wake up tomorrow morning?"

Yao'er smiled and said: "It's just some medicine for sleeping, and the medicine is not big. They sleep soundly on weekdays, so the medicine is quite effective. It will be fine in two hours." After a pause, he joked again , "123 Romance and Red. Sister Sleeve recently made a fortune from the third master's boy cake. As the third master usually said, you don't panic when you have money in your hands. Even if you want to come without medicine, you can sleep well."

Jia Cong nodded, asked him to help put the silver into the cash box, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing I still have a key, otherwise it will be red tomorrow morning. Sister Xiu was cleaning the bed, and suddenly a large ingot of silver came out. Think of me as a boy of good fortune."

Yao'er said: "Nowadays outsiders also say that my young master is a good fortune boy next to Guanyin Bodhisattva."

"what?"

Yao'er said: "Because of the boy's cake making method, no one has ever heard of it before. Everyone said that it was Guanyin who taught you."

Jia Cong was delighted: "Boy Shancai is a red boy! I am a red boy, so my father won't be the Bull Demon King? Uncle Ge Liu is the grandson Monkey!" The more he thought about it, the more interesting he said, "Brother Yaoer, you are a monkey, please come here!" Is it your rescuer?"

Yao'er made him stunned: "What, I don't understand."

Jia Cong smiled and took his arm and said, "This is a story, I'll tell you later." Nai raised his bright eyes and asked, "What's the storehouse like?"

Yao'er laughed and said, "The warehouse I went to today is a silver warehouse. There are so many boxes of silver that everyone's eyes are dazzled. I never dreamed of so much money."

Jia Cong said "Oh", and said to himself, no wonder, this cheap old man has always been stingy, and he didn't want to be so generous suddenly, so it turned out that he was not short of money.He asked again, "All those I followed secretly got money, but did those uncles and brothers get it?"

Yao'er said: "Master first asked everyone to take one." After thinking about it, he said, "Those who are guarding outside and watching at the west corner gate have their family members help them take it. Master is very fair." .”

Jia Cong nodded: "That's about the same." This cheap old man is simply a born bandit. He can't be an official or director, but he is very professional in this line of work.So they stopped talking, and the two went to sleep separately.

More than ten days later, there was a gossip from Yao'er that Jia Amnesty wanted to go out with his father to look at the house, and Jia Cong immediately ran to go together like a twisted candy.Jia Amnesty asked him to make a fuss, so he agreed.

The two of them only said that they were going out for a stroll, and besides Yao'er, Wu Baozi followed.It was only now that Jia Cong knew that Wu Baozi had sneaked into the stable, so he couldn't help laughing secretly.Everyone has potential.Jia Shen has always been a jerk, he only knows how to waste his life.However, in the past two months, he has a logistics business he loves very much, opened his first business and is doing well, and he has become smarter.

After leaving the mansion, after two streets, Jia Si was waiting for them at the intersection with a big black horse.

Jia Amnesty jumped off his horse and put Jia Cong on the ground, then went to look at Jia Si's horse, walked around it several times before nodding his head, "Not bad."

Jia Si's face seemed to be lit up with a lamp, and he was so happy that it was as described in the article, almost overflowing, stroking the horse's back and showing off: "I fell in love with it last month." He smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, the general, after discussing with the general that day, I will go to the horse market when I get back."

What Jia Amnesty said was a bit harsh: "It's been hard for you these years, how can the cavalry survive without horses."

Jia Si hurriedly waved his hands: "General, don't say that, you are suffering too." After a long while, he added, "It's all old ladies! You are too partial."

Jia Cong turned his face to the back of Jia Amnesty's thigh and snickered.Last time, Jia Si had some respect for Jia's mother, but now he got some benefits by following Jia Amnesty, and Jia's mother immediately became a bad person.

Wu Baozi hurriedly said: "It's all right now, the general has stood up, and everyone's life will be easier. Let's go and see the house first?"

Jia Amnesty nodded, and several people got on their horses one after another.After walking through the streets and alleys for half a day, when we arrived at a gate, a middle-aged old man had been waiting for half a day.

Jia Cong didn't like the house when he saw it, it was too grand.Carved beams and painted buildings, one layer after another, I don't know which upstart got it.But Jia She's eyes were shining brightly, and his appearance matched his aesthetics. Jia Cong hurried to the middle man and asked, "Old man, is there a martial arts training ground in this house?"

The middleman was stunned: "Master, this was originally the house of a big salt merchant, there is no martial arts training ground."

Jia Cong immediately turned his head in disgust: "It's so vulgar."

Jia She wanted to save face, when he heard that it was an old salt merchant's house, and there was a comment of "so tacky", he immediately felt that the house was not good.Seeing Jia She's expression changed, Wu Baozi was afraid that he might say something unpleasant, so he hurriedly asked, "Is there a house left by a general? Our young master wants to practice martial arts."

The man said: "Most of the generals' houses are in the south. There are all learned officials around here. The owner paid several times the price to buy it."

Jia Cong shuddered: Could it be that Jia Amnesty asked someone to pick a luxury residential area?Oh, this old man is too unreliable, how can there be a small treasury hidden in the downtown area, afraid that no one will see it?Hastily tugged on Rajashe's lapel: "Father! No, he spent several times the price to buy it. Even if he sells it to us at a half discount, it's still a loss."

Jia Amnesty thought it was reasonable, and was about to scold the middleman when Wu Baozi rushed to say, "Sell such a loss to our master? Are you taking advantage of our master?"

It was difficult for Jia She to speak again, so he let out a heavy "hum".

Jia Cong looked at Wu Baozi and smiled, Wu Baozi blinked at him, and Jia Si couldn't help reaching out from behind and rubbing his little head.

The man rushed to accompany him, and said: "There is also a big house in the south of the city, which was left by the first general. Now the general has gone to the south to fight. There is a big training ground and a big horse. The room and the archery targets are all there. The price is very fair! Why don’t you go and see the master? It’s just a little secluded.”

Jia Cong hurriedly said: "I like quietness the most! Studying quietly, practicing martial arts quietly!" He winked at Jia Si and Wu Baozi vigorously.

Jia She said with a smile: "You want to be quiet and mischievous and no one will notice you." Jia Cong made a face.

Jia Si also realized now that Jia She is unreliable in choosing a house, so it is better for this smart young general to say: "Master, I listen to it very well, there is a target so I can let the young master practice it, those little generals Most of you have never touched a bow before."

Although Jia She loves riches and honor, he pays more attention to these old brothers.As soon as he heard Jia Si's words, he thought that the children in the brothers' families must want to learn martial arts, and he was afraid that there would be no place to use bows and horses to ride and shoot, so he said: "Since that's the case, take us to have a look."

The man said many flattering words one after another, and then led them to the south of the city.

Before he got there, Jia Cong understood that the house was not a little quieter, but really quiet.Seeing that Jia She's face was a bit ugly, he hastily tugged at his front.Because he was sitting in front of Jia She's horse, it was very convenient for him to whisper.He said: "Father, this place is the best, but we kept it from our ancestors."

Jia Amnesty suddenly remembered that this time he was looking for a place to hide his secrets.Even if you move to your own warehouse, it is always sneaky and cannot be discovered by others.Busy nodded: "It seems quite appropriate."

But at that time, he still didn't arrive at the place.After walking for another half a day, the moat was already visible from a distance before arriving.Jia She's face turned a little ugly.Jia Cong thought it was excellent.The terrain is open, there are not many houses around, and there are not many residents. There is also a large hillside nearby, which is an area to be developed.So he said loudly: "It's so empty! In the future, we will build a house next to it, and the uncles will move in!"

Just as Jia She was about to scold the middle-aged man and leave, his eyes lit up when he heard what he said: "Yes! The house you live in is too dilapidated, and the fourth one still looks good. What kind of dilapidated Tian Mao is that?" Thatched hut! I lived in it for four or five years!" As he said that, tears fell from his eyes.

Jia Si hurriedly urged the horse to come forward and said: "I didn't do the master's business at first, master, why bother to always be sad because of this, haven't I moved out now?"

Jia She said with a sigh: "When I moved out, I was renting someone else's house. I didn't even have my own place. It's all my fault. I stay in the mansion every day, and I don't often visit you." People asked, "Whose lands all around belong to?"

The middle-aged man saw his unkind expression, and thought that the business would fail again. Now that such a big turning point suddenly came, he was overjoyed, and said: "It's just some ordinary people. If the master likes it, he can buy it for two dollars! Little man Willing to run errands for the master! Dare to ask where the master is employed?"

Jia Si hurriedly said, "Go ahead and ask. Come and find me in the next day. Our master is busy."

The middleman hurriedly smiled flatteringly at him and said, "Yes, if the villain asks, I'll go find shopkeeper Jia."

Jia Cong applauded and said, "Okay~~ Uncles and brothers are all here! By then, everyone will teach Cong'er one move, and Cong'er will have thirty moves. Each person will teach two moves, which means sixty moves! Each person will teach three moves. It’s just ninety tricks, dad will teach me another ten tricks, and I’ll have a hundred tricks!” Everyone who said that laughed.

Jia She laughed and scolded: "It's so easy for you to learn martial arts." Then he patted his horse and went to the door.

The man took out the key and said with a flattering smile: "Because the house is too big, it hasn't been cleaned for a long time. Please bear with me."

As he spoke, he pushed open the door and was stunned.

Although the inside of the door is not clean, judging from the house that has been unoccupied for a long time, it is very tidy. It is obvious that someone takes care of it from time to time.He murmured: "Who is so diligent." Then let the guests in.

Jia Amnesty and the others thought they could see the leaves of a broken tree in the yard after hearing what he said just now, but they were very satisfied with how clean they were, so they tied their horses to the big tree in the yard and followed him to look slowly.

This house is really big, every brick and tile is full of atmosphere.The main courtyard is actually smaller than Rongguo Mansion, but it looks more spacious.The main hall is simply a Chinese military tent, and the chair in the middle is covered with a tiger skin.The trees in the courtyard are lush and lush, and there is a large martial arts arena at the back. Seven or eight targets have been knocked down, and there are still two broken iron guns that have not been removed on the weapon shelf.Two guns were grabbed by three people, but Jia Amnesty didn't grab them!Jia Amnesty became anxious, and immediately started fighting with Wu Baozi, but Wu Baozi refused to let him go, so the two started fighting like that.Jia Si didn't bother to talk to them, and danced around with a gun.Jia Cong and Yao'er clapped their hands and applauded, but they didn't know who they were cheering for.

The man also smiled and opened his eyebrows: he knows, this business is done!

After arguing for a long time, Jia Cong suddenly remembered something, so he asked the middleman: "Old man, do you have a warehouse?"

The middleman said with a smile: "Of course there are, such a big warehouse! Two or three places, so many."

Pian Jia's ears were sharp, and when he heard it, he put away his weapon and asked, "Where is the warehouse?"

The middleman hurriedly said, "Masters, come with me."

Jia Amnesty quickly put down his broken gun and followed him to the warehouse.There are actually three warehouses in this house: one is a densely packed large warehouse, which is also in the northwest corner;

Jia Si immediately felt that something was wrong, and raised his head to look for Jia Cong—only when he saw Jia Cong, he realized that he had a thought in his mind at this moment, but he didn't go to see Jia She!As he was thinking in his mind, his eyes saw him: Jia Cong really looked thoughtful.I couldn't help but feel secretly happy: Although the general is a young man, he is very kind to his brothers; although the major general is young, he is extremely intelligent.Have a good day in the future.He turned his head back and took a look at Yao'er again.Nai asked, "What kind of house is this left by? They built so many warehouses."

The man hurriedly said: "This house was also resold by someone else. I only heard that a general surnamed Bai used to live there, but now he has gone to the south to fight."

As soon as Jia Amnesty's expression changed, Jia Cong knew he knew something, and quietly asked what was going on.

Jia Si tugged at him: "Master, let's talk when we go back."

Jia Cong immediately behaved.

Jia Sinai asked in a low voice: "General, I think this house is not bad. What do you think?"

Jia Amnesty nodded: "I don't know how to do business, you can discuss with him."

The matter was settled, and they wandered around the garden and study.The garden is extremely exquisite, even more exquisite than the garden of the Rongguo Mansion where Jia She is living now. Jia Cong saw that it was designed by a big hand, not like an ordinary warrior's garden.The study room is very large, and it is not like the study room of ordinary warriors; there are not half of the books left.The rest are also good.Jia Si stayed and negotiated with the middlemen, and Jia Amnesty led them back to the house.

After getting on the horse, Jia Cong pulled his father's skirt and looked back: This is their future base.But when he retracted his body and sat upright, he suddenly caught sight of a man standing on the street looking at them from a distance, and hurriedly pulled Raja She: "Father! Do you recognize that man?"

When Jia She heard the words, he looked over and saw an old man in green clothes standing in the middle of the street with his hands behind his back, looking at them undisguisedly.

Yao'er was clever, urged his horse to go over and asked, "Old man, what's the matter?"

The old man said: "Brother, does your master want to buy this house?"

Yao'er nodded and said, "Yes, our master is already in love."

The old man sighed, turned around and left, leaving Monk Yaoerzhang Er confused.So he stayed for a while, and pulled his horse back to listen to Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty didn't care about it: "Don't worry about it, Zuo is just an idler watching the fun, let's go back home."

Jia Cong watched so many novels and movies in his previous life, so he didn't want to leave it at that. After a little guessing, he looked at the old man's back and opened his throat and shouted: "Grandpa, did you help clean this house?" ?”

The old man paused, turned around slowly, and said after a long time: "Yes." Then he turned and continued walking.

When Jia Cong heard it, he was so far away and his voice was so clear, how could this old man be simple?Busy shouted again: "Thank you~~"

The old man in Tsing Yi didn't look back this time, he just stretched out his hand and waved his head back, and left.

Jia Cong felt very sorry, but there was nothing he could do.If you think about fate, you can always meet again, that's all.

After returning to the mansion, Jia Cong pestered Jia She to ask about the original owner of the house.

Jia She guessed that this house must have been the private residence of General Bering En.Bai Lingen was once the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and later entered Beijing as the commander of the Xiaoqi battalion.Two years ago, because his elder brother Bai Lingyi, the former minister of Taichang Temple, was implicated in Prince Yizhong's rebellion, he was relieved of his military post and stayed at home.Originally, it would be nice to be a farmer, but his granddaughter went outing in the countryside last spring, and suddenly some prince fell in love with her and wanted to take her into the mansion.How could the girl in their family be willing to suffer that wronged?It is said that he turned his face on the spot, so he didn't stab the prince.Let the sage know about this, and because he thought that there was another war in the south, he simply ignored it and demoted his family to the southern border for garrison.Thinking about it, this court cannot return to Beijing.

Jia Cong frowned, and asked, "Which prince is he so worthless?"

Jia She said: "Few people know about it, and the prince is not injured, so where to guess."

Jia Cong just felt that something was wrong, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he had to give up.
