The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that people in Taiwan in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion force Wu You to escort Jia Xichun to various countries to sell the technique of growing grain by drying salt.We had no choice but to go back and pack our bags.On the day before sending the two of them off, everyone saw them off at the newly opened Pizza Hut Restaurant in Chengtian Mansion.Both of them agreed at the banquet that this time they will cooperate well and try their best to avoid quarreling; if they want to quarrel, they must not quarrel in front of outsiders; The characters are noisy.Everyone has unbelievers, doubts, and half-believers, but no one believes.

The next day, the two wanted to leave, so they went to the magistrate's yamen to bid farewell to Jia She and Jia Lian.Yuan Chun was worried and followed.Seeing that the two of them are harmonious and respectful, and they seem to be doing business, they feel relieved.Jia Amnesty was getting older and was a bit nagging, the two of them could only bear with it and listen to the lesson; Yuan Chun found an excuse to go outside to talk to Fu'er.The aunt and nephew played poker for a while, and suddenly saw Ping'er hurried over, and returned with a smile: "Miss! Fourth Miss and General Wu are quarreling again!" Yuan Chun was immediately discouraged, and muttered "I I knew that the two of them would not live together for half a day," and followed Ping'er.

I saw the two of them standing in Jia She's courtyard, not knowing what they were arguing about, their faces red and red, just like the time when they arrived at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the early Yuanchun; Having tea and snacks to watch the excitement, Jia Amnesty's concubine Cuiyun stood behind with her mouth covered.Yuan Chun sighed softly, and walked over: "What did the two of you talk about at Pizza Hut last night? Can't you just forget it after a night's rest?"

Wu You hurriedly said, "She quarreled first!"

Xichun immediately said: "Big sister! He wants to bring three big suitcases of clothes and shoes! I have never brought so many."

Yuan Chun looked at Wu You: "Just for this idea of ​​sesame mung beans?"

Wu You said: "I didn't dare to offend Miss Fourth, and I didn't want to occupy Miss Fourth's carriage."

Xichun said: "We are here to do business, we have to travel a long way, and we have brought so many clothes, are you going to get married?"

All the people in the yard laughed, even the little girl Jia Meng brought to serve.

Wu You was in a hurry: "I told you many times, some wear on the road on weekdays, some pretend to be businessmen, some pretend to be your housekeeper, there are navy clothes, night clothes, camouflage clothes, The clothes of the special battalion I got from Chi, and the shoes are also used for climbing walls in the water, on flat roads, and in mountains..."

Xichun scoffed, "Oh, you run a shoe shop!"

Yuan Chun hurriedly said: "Fourth girl, the world has not been peaceful in recent years, and the second girl's marriage has caused many bandits to rob! General Wu is a soldier, so he naturally has more concerns about safety. Not to mention, it's just General Cheng's side. None of my outfits are useless. Didn’t they all tell you when we went to the special camp last time?”

Xichun pursed her lips: "I don't remember much."

Wu You snorted: "I don't even bother arguing with you! Every row is like a mountain."

Yuan Chun shook his head and gave them some instructions. They bid farewell to Jia Amnesty again and went outside to meet Jia Lian.

The two of them stepped out of the courtyard when Jia Meng jumped up to Yuan Chun with a "Zi Liu" and tugged at her lapel: "Eldest aunt! Let me tell you! Fourth aunt was not angry at all!"

Yuan Chun knelt down and hugged him and asked, "Then why is your fourth aunt angry?"

Jia Meng pointed at Jia She: "Grandfather said, the princess raised by the Bai family in Lingnan heard that Uncle Wu was going on a long journey, and the special envoy sent him a very rare bamboo hat! It is said that he was riding a horse in the rain wearing a very OK!"

Yuan Chun couldn't help laughing: "What are you teasing them with, uncle? I'm about to get up today."

Jia She stroked his beard in a slow manner: "I don't know when I'll come back after this trip. I'll talk about whether there will be any fun after I come back. Besides, that's the truth, if you don't say it today, you have to say it yesterday."

Yuan Chun can't laugh or cry.

Then the crowd sent the two of them away in a lively manner, betting with each other on the way back where the two of them could quarrel.

Wu You and Jia Xichun could only leave for a few days, but there was an urgent letter from Ping'an Prefecture, and it was from the military newspaper!The correspondence between the Gao family and the Taiwan government was usually sent by Ma Xing. When they heard that this came back to the military newspaper, everyone was shocked.Jia Cong rushed to the front to receive the letter, and hurriedly opened it at the gate of the Xiaoxiang Hall to have a look—it was a great happy event!Yingchun is pregnant.Can't help but yell.

The magistrate's yamen was busy again, and Wang Xifeng personally arranged the congratulatory gifts and medicinal materials to be sent to Ping'an Prefecture.Jia Cong couldn't wait for these things to slowly dawdle on the road, because he thought that medicine is underdeveloped these days, and it is extremely dangerous for a woman to give birth, so he flew back to Beijing to ask for an obstetrician.

This time the capital was settled, he didn't need to hide it from others, and came to the main gate of Rongguo Mansion openly and with a dusty face.When Jia Huan heard that he was coming, he clapped his hands and smiled and said, "What did I say? I got a letter from Ping'an Prefecture a while ago and I knew he couldn't bear to walk slowly with the chariots and horses."

For a while, Jia Cong changed his clothes after washing and washing, and went to see Jia's mother first.

Seeing that he was much darker than before, Mother Jia sighed twice, and asked him how the road was and how the people on the other side of Taiwan were doing;She asked again: "Why did you suddenly return to Beijing? What's the matter?"

Jia Cong said: "Second sister is happy. I want to invite two good doctors and some capable midwives for her in Beijing."

Mother Jia thought that he came to Zhang Luo to marry the Xian Wang for Yuan Chun, but she was a little disappointed when she heard the words, and said: "Her in-law's family is in charge of such matters, you act like this, others will think you can't trust her in-law's family. "

Jia Cong said: "Others have nothing to do with me, they think whatever they like. Brother-in-law values ​​sister anyway."

Jia Mu said: "You men don't know what's going on in the backyard. She still has two sisters-in-law. If you make her sister-in-law unhappy by mobilizing people, and if you don't get along well in the future, you will hurt your sister instead."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Although I don't know what the two sister-in-laws of the Gao family are like, my sister never lived with them. Even if they are jealous, they always have to save face. No matter how bad it is, there is still a brother-in-law." Don't worry, the old ancestor, for the sake of the master, the second elder brother and me, the Gao family dare not treat my sister badly. If it is really bad, just make peace."

Jia Mu reprimanded: "Nonsense! Don't be too arrogant, the Gao family is your sister's lifelong support."

Jia Cong sighed: "Why do you always say that? Ancestor, I have said the following sentence many times to many people. My sister relied on me for the first half of her life, and her son for the rest of her life. From the beginning to the end There is no brother-in-law at the end. As for the two cousins, who are their fathers and brothers? If they are unusual characters, I would have known."

Mother Jia was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of the historian.A few days ago because of her refusal to marry, she was sincerely cold with the Shi family. Hearing this, she also sighed and ordered someone to pick up Xiangyun to stay for a few days.

Jia Congnai went to see Jia Zheng Baoyu and others again.Knowing that Jia Huan had many things to discuss, he went back to the courtyard of the big house without going to see him first.Mrs. Xing led Han Quan up to salute him: "Huan'er said that I have written to you, and I have adopted a son."

Jia Cong said: "I received the letter, congratulations, madam. It turned out to be him." When he saw the child last time, he was stunned by Jia Huan, but now he was awake for the first time, and he pulled him up with a smile to take a closer look. After watching him for a long time, seeing his well-behaved manner, there was excitement in his eyes, and he said, "Such a small and refined man, he must be a well-educated person in the future. Ma'am, none of our elders can study yet, it just so happens that we have him. "

Mrs. Xing smiled from ear to ear, and said: "Don't think that he is young, he can already write a lot of words! He is better than when you were your age."

Jia Cong waved his hands again and again: "Madam, don't mention me. I practiced calligraphy for many years when I was a child, but I couldn't master it well. Besides, I'm going to be a general in the future. I can read a few words. I don't want to be blind." Then he pulled the child and said, "Are you three or four years old?"

Han Quan said obediently: "Brother, I'm going to be four years old soon."

Jia Cong said: "Are you still a little afraid of life now? Brother Ming'er will take you to play, and you won't be afraid of life when you play."

Mrs. Xing hurriedly said, "Don't take him wild!"

Jia Cong said: "Boys who are not wild are not in good health. My wife thinks that the two elder brothers in the second room are not wild, and they are not in good health. Lan'er is a little wild, but her body is stronger than that of elder brother Zhu and elder brother Baoyu." Look at brother Huan again, you can make a gift with a pen, and you can kill the enemy with a horse." Seeing that Madam Xing's expression was a little loose, he laughed again, "If you are in good health, you can even do marriage affairs better. The three elder brothers in the second room, Baoyu Elder brother probably intends to set up elder sister Shi, the Shi family is the Hou family after all, but sister-in-law Zhu is no match; elder brother Zhu is still the eldest son, he is the weakest."

Mrs. Xing sneered: "That's because the old lady loves Baoyu. Naturally, she will find a good marriage for him. It has nothing to do with the bones of the body."

Jia Cong said: "Brother Huan's marriage is better, the old lady never loves him."

Mrs. Xing hurriedly asked: "Is Huan boy engaged?"

Jia Cong blinked: "Although it's not yet decided, it's not far off. Our master is the master. Anyway, he is much higher than the sister of the Shi family." He knew that Mrs. Xing's mouth was broken. People in the house discussed and speculated.After all, Princess Jian'an had an affair with Jia Baoyu once.

Mrs. Xing snorted: "Master, it's true, since it's an excellent marriage, why don't you keep it for you?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Ma'am! What kind of temperament am I? How can I want a girl from a high family background? Brother Huan is so honest, he won't retaliate if he bullies him once in a while."

Mrs. Xing thought about Jia Cong's unbearable temperament, and said with a smile: "You are a monkey who is eager to catch fire."

Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "I came back in a hurry, so I didn't prepare any presents." He took something from his waist and said, "This is a trick I made with the master in the early years. You can play with it."

Han Quan thanked him and took it, held it in his hand and looked at it, he was shocked!It turned out to be a warm and delicate suet white jade pendant, exactly the same as the one he had hidden! "This this……"

Mrs. Xing saw it and knew that the pendant must be worth a lot of money. She thought Han Quan was surprised that it was so good, and said happily: "Since your brother gave it to you, you can accept it."

Jia Cong said: "This is a pair that is exactly the same, I want them all, and I gave the other one to Brother Huan."

Han Quan's face suddenly turned sad, and he murmured, "So it's not unique in the world."

Jia Cong looked at him and said, "Why isn't it unique? Everything in the world is unique. Even if the two pendants were chiseled from the same piece of jade and made by the same jade craftsman with the same set of tools and the same hands, each pendant is unique. It is also unique.”

After all, Han Quan was still young, so he didn't quite understand the twists and turns. Fortunately, he was more sensible than ordinary children, so he quickly lowered his head and said, "I have no intention of looking down on you, brother."

Jia Cong knew that the "unique" he said was referring to the one hanging on his own neck, so he smiled and rubbed his head: "Where does a child under the age of four have so many thoughts! Think less while you are still young." , if something happens, adults will be there."

Mrs. Xing didn't understand what the two brothers were doing, she only knew that Jia Cong was a promising person and liked Han Quan, so she hurriedly made a distraction and left.

Afterwards, Han Quan still looked obedient, but his eyes were a little less bright.

After talking for a while, Jia Cong said that he was going to look for Jia Huan. Mrs. Xing pulled him and said quietly: "There is something, I thought about it, I'd better tell you. Huan'er may not know."

Jia Cong hurriedly asked what was the matter.

Mrs. Xing said: "A few days ago, the second master took Baoyu to see you, Mr. Su, and said that he wanted him to also worship Mr. Su as his teacher."

Jia Cong couldn't help laughing: "Just dream in the blue sky! If there is no Brother Huan, Mr. Su can still look at him twice. Now that Brother Huan is standing there for comparison, if Mr. Su looks up to him, the sky will die blacken."

Mrs. Xing nodded with a smile and said: "I heard that he went there excitedly and came back as wilted as an eggplant beaten by frost. Later, the second master told the old lady that the second master Bao's ambition is different from that of Mr. Su, and he refused to be a teacher. Su I am very sorry sir."

Jia Cong rolled his eyes and said, "It's understandable to find someone to go down the stairs."

"Isn't it?! Who can't guess that Mr. looked down on him?" Mrs. Xing became more and more excited, her eyebrows beaming. "Who knows that the old lady is really screwed up. I don't know why she has her eyes on Mr. Su and refuses to let him go! Tell the second master that Mrs. Su and Miss Su's Sun lived in our house for a while when the late emperor was buried. She looked at Mr. Su. Miss is very nice, I like it very much."

Jia Cong was stunned, and opened his mouth wide: "No way! Cheng girl is a generation behind us, and she calls us uncle! Let the three of us get used to it... Does she want to ask for brother Baoyu's marriage? Then brother Baoyu Don't you want to call brother Huan and uncle?"

Mrs. Xing waved her hand: "No! Isn't there a Lan'er in the second bedroom? She's just one year older than Ms. Sun of the Su family."

"Pfft—" Jia Cong couldn't help laughing out loud.

Mrs. Xing smiled as if she had gotten a huge advantage, she slapped her hands and said, "But daydreaming, isn't it? I don't even think about it, Mr. Su is such an official, how can he look down on Mr. Lan!"

Jia Cong said: "Come on, let her be happy, let her think about it, she doesn't have to pay taxes anyway. Even if the second uncle has a hole in his head, he can't really ask for a marriage. In the past, our two brothers often I worked hard to coax the old ancestor, and now let the second uncle coax her, and we all do the hard work together, and no one wants to be lazy."

Mrs. Xing just smiled.

Jia Congnai said: "Ma'am, let's just close the door and talk about it as a joke, but don't let others hear it. Although it is a disgrace to the old lady and the second room, it will disgrace our entire family outside." face."

Mrs. Xing hurriedly said: "Where will outsiders hear it? Family ugliness should not be publicized, right?"

Jia Cong clasped his fists with a serious face and said, "Madam Shengming!" This made Mrs. Xing laugh even more happily.

Then he took his leave and went straight to Jiahuan's courtyard.
