The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that Jia Cong used some money in Beijing to exchange favors, and completed the household registration of good people for several people who followed him since childhood.Because Hong Xiu Lanxiang belonged to a family, he released their parents, brother and uncle's family.It's just that their family didn't come to the south, only the two of them followed.

Only two days later, Tian Gengzi came and hesitated for a long time. It turned out that he wanted to marry Jin Jiang.Jia Cong laughed, pointed at him and said, "Your temperament is not as good as hers, you will be bullied for a lifetime."

Tian Gengzi said honestly: "She has never bullied me, she has taken good care of me since she was in Lixiangyuan."

Jia Cong said in shock: "I didn't see this at all!"

Xiao Xiang said from the side: "I saw it a long time ago! Everyone else saw it, only the third master is blind."

Jia Cong became more and more surprised. He took a look at Tian Gengzi and saw his stiff face as if he was a little nervous, so he dragged Xiao Xiang to the side and said in a low voice, "Your Jinjiang sister is really a beauty. All the teenagers in the yard are good, why did she choose Tian Gengzi? This guy looks plain, and he is so stupid that he can't even say half a sweet word."

Xiao Xiang glanced at him disdainfully: "What sweet talk do you want? Is sister Jinjiang so shallow-sighted? Master Tian treats sister Jinjiang very well. Sister Jinjiang came back from the girls' yard one time, and the second girl gave her She has a white jade bracelet, and she told the rest of us that we in Lixiangyuan have complicated affairs on weekdays, so we dare not wear the jade bracelet, for fear it will be broken. Master Piantian happened to be there and heard it, so guess what?"

Jia Cong said, "Bought her a box to put it in?" Immediately after, he clearly saw the contempt in Xiao Xiang's eyes, and said embarrassingly, "How would I know."

Xiao Xiang smiled and said in a low voice, "Master Tian carved a camphor wood bracelet for sister Jinjiang!"

Jia Cong frowned and said, "How can you use camphor wood to make bracelets! Even if it is a wooden bracelet, you should also use sandalwood? Camphor wood is used for furniture, and its weight is extremely heavy..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Xiang sighed softly with an appearance of "rotten wood cannot be carved", and muttered: "Third grandma is sorry to see you." Leaving him behind, he withdrew back to the edge of the kang to do needlework.

Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "Women are strange creatures." Nai looked back at Tian Gengzi, who was still standing there like a pillar, and went over to him and asked, "Then when are you going to get married?"

Tian Gengzi said: "Listen to her."

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "I said you are going to be bullied for the rest of your life and you are still not convinced! Such a big matter must be discussed by two people together, right? You have to read the book to choose a date? You have to buy a house when you get married. How to furnish the house... Forget it, sister Jinjiang has the final say on this matter." He waved his hand, "I don't know anything about it anyway, and your family is not short of money. It's just that the Ministry of Construction can't do without you now, There is no way to let you go to Beijing to get married, let someone take your parents over."

Tian Gengzi nodded and said, "The general also said so."

Jia Cong was stunned for a moment before realizing that the general was referring to his old man, and he and this boy went to report to Jia Amnesty first.Then he clapped his hands and said, "He's an old man who is also bored, it's good to give him something to manage."

The matter was left to Jia Amnesty.How did Jia She understand this?It's just that Tian Gengzi is the first junior to get married since they came to the south, so the old man is just booing.To go around in circles is still to order Wang Xifeng to manage it.

Wang Xifeng happily agreed, turned around and couldn't help sighing to Ping'er: "That Jinjiang, who was just a little girl in the ancestor's house, has such a blessing! This Tian Gengzi will get it in the future without saying anything. A servant of the Ministry of Industry."

Ping'er said: "Everyone has their own fate. She is not willing to be disadvantaged by her temperament, and the third master Pian Cong is also like that. At first I wondered if their master and servant would offend many people. Who knows the third master It is actually a history."

Wang Xifeng snorted and said, "Jin Jiang looks outstanding, Hong Xiu has a gentle temper, and Cong'er is young. I guessed that the two of them would be given to two of the boys in Lixiangyuan to replace Cong'er." It wins people's hearts. I just never thought that she could get the real wife."

Ping'er smiled and said: "I guessed it a long time ago. One person can ascend to heaven, and Third Master Cong is very kind to those who follow him. If she is still in the old lady's house, I am afraid that she will not have such a good life. I heard yesterday Cong Sanye said that the mandarin ducks and amber in Beijing haven’t been released yet.”

Wang Xifeng sighed: "She is both good. There is no good person, and the old lady is not willing to give it."

Ping'er said: "It's just how many proper people can the old lady recognize?" The master and servant felt sorry for a long time, and Ping'er said quietly, "Second Mistress, I'm afraid we have to work harder for this marriage. Jinjiang Although she was a girl in the past, the old man of the Tian family is valued by the old man."

Wang Xifeng glanced at her: "You are thinking too wildly. Jinjiang is a girl, but she is also the girl next to Cong'er. Cong'er will become emperor sooner or later, and the emperor is a real dragon. The people around him are naturally nobler than others. "

Ping'er hurriedly stood up, saluted and said with a smile: "This slave is worrying too much. Our grandma really has a good eye for the general situation. It's rare, rare."

Wang Xifeng said: "Whether to get married, the important thing is the man. Regardless of Jinjiang's status, Tian Gengzi is always a promising person. With Jinjiang's appearance and temper, why don't you make him docile? Let's take care of them for them. The son is also good enough for him to take care of him."

Ping'er smiled and said, "Grandma is right." The two of them went shopping and arranged for a matchmaker without mentioning it.

Jia She gave the money for getting married and shopping, but Tian Gengzi bought the house himself.His father accumulated a lot of wealth when he robbed the slaves with Jia Si in the early years, and later got a lot of dividends. This time he came to the south with a lot of money, and he had no place to spend it on weekdays. Now he has a chance Make money.So I often go out with the middleman to look at the house, and draw a picture with charcoal after reading it, and show it to Jinjiang.Jia Cong saw it once, and laughed and said: "How can there be such a thing? The one who makes the decision doesn't look at the house but only looks at the pictures, and the one who runs errands can't talk! Can't sister Jinjiang just go and see it by herself?"

Jin Jiang was eager to hear the words, and said with a smile: "Since it is the master, I will go to see the house tomorrow!"

Jia Cong was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized whether he had been fooled by her.Sure enough, Hong Xiu killed him in just a cup of tea.It turned out that a few days ago Jia She bought the next door to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and it was regarded as an expansion. Now she is about to move some people to the next door, and it is the busiest time for the two of them.Once Jin Jiang left, all these things were left to Hong Xiu.

Jia Cong handed her a cup of tea courteously and said, "I only get married once in my life, so don't worry about moving the yard, just take it slow."

Hong Xiu said: "I don't know this? Anyway, I'm done with work and go shopping with her!"

Jia Cong took the opportunity to ask, "Where's sister Hong Xiu?"

"what?"

Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "I just don't believe that you have no one to ask for marriage."

Hong Xiu's face was as red as her name, and she said angrily: "That girl in Jinjiang has gone to buy a house, if I go out too, will you move the Xiaoxiang Hall?" After saying that, she turned her head and left.

Jia Cong laughed from behind and said, "Thank you sister! I'll wait and see who will propose next~~"

Seeing that Hong Xiu was gone, Jia Cong became curious, and ran to Xiao Xiang and asked, "Is there anyone interested in your sister Hong Xiu?"

Xiao Xiang nodded and said, "Yes."

"Who?"

Xiao Xiang stretched out three fingers: "Three! Don't ask me, I don't know who she will marry."

Jia Cong opened his mouth wide and froze on the spot.For a long time, he rubbed the back of his head and said to himself: "I didn't know such a lively scene!" I accidentally caught a glimpse of a shadow passing through the moon cave gate, as if it was his father.It's just that Jia She rarely came to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and he felt that he had misread it, so he let it go.

In fact, that person is indeed Jia Amnesty.Seeing that Tian Gengzi went out to buy a house every day, the old man became more and more anxious about Yuan Chun.Pian Yuanchun is a girl, so it's inconvenient to urge her.Every time Wang Ziteng wrote a letter, he murmured that she and Gong Kun were alone and widowed on the way to Lingnan that day.Today I got another letter from Guangzhou, Jia Amnesty couldn't take it anymore, and went straight to find Gong Kun to ask for clarification.

Gong Kun was discussing with Wu Xiaoxi and her subordinates at the moment, writing down a table of Western firearms and the names of Western arms dealers.Hearing people outside shouting "General", he quickly put down the charcoal pencil in his hand.Now they already have quite a few generals, those with their names are generals with military affairs, and the "generals" without their surnames are Jia She.

Jia She came in slowly and looked around, knowing that this group of people might discuss their affairs for a day, and said: "Gong Yizhi, come out now, I have something to ask you." After saying that, he turned and left.

He is an old man.Gong Kun had no choice but to follow out.

Jia Amnesty led him to the stone table and bench under the shade of flowers, sat down first, coughed, and called Gong Kun to sit down.

Gong Kun cupped his hands and sat down.

Jia Amnesty said: "Gong Yizhi, I just want to ask you, what do you think of our big girl? Don't lie to me."

Gong Kun smiled wryly and said: "Everyone knows how the eldest girl is. I know what the master means, but I don't have the heart to worry about it."

Jia She said strangely: "You are also 27 or [-] years old, how can you say that you are not thinking?"

Gong Kun said: "There are too many things at hand, I don't have time to think about them."

Jia Amnesty looked at him up and down for a long time, Gong Kun just smiled wryly: "Besides, big girls are generally not in the mood, and they are so busy every day."

Jia She said with a snort, "How do you know she's not in the mood? Bao Buqi is busy showing you?"

These words are nothing to say, Gong Kun can't reply.

Jia She said: "Anyway, you just answer me, how do you think we girls are doing?"

Gong Kun said: "Excellent."

Jia Amnesty clapped his hands and said, "Very good!" He patted him on the shoulder and left.Gong Kun stayed behind for half a day.

When Jia Cong returned home in the evening, Jia Sheli ordered someone to call him over and said: "I went to find Gong Yizhi today, and he said that the eldest girl is very good, and she will almost marry them for them."

Jia Cong was stunned for a long time: "Huh? Why didn't I notice it at all?"

Jia She said: "What can you see? I have already seen it."

Jia Cong suddenly remembered Hong Xiu Jinjiang's incident. Everyone else saw it, but he didn't see it, and he believed it!He muttered: "I really didn't see it, how did you see it?"

Jia She said with a snort, "You don't see such things in your eyes. Go ahead, don't worry about it!" Nai wrote three letters, one to Wang Ziteng in Guangzhou, and two to Jingzhong respectively. Jia's mother and Gong Sanyi, in the letter, just decided the matter by themselves.Yuan Chun and Gong Kun didn't know anything about it.

However, at this moment, something troublesome happened to the Rongguo Mansion in Beijing.Because Jia Mu listened to the gossip of the people below, saying that Jia Cong made a way for Hong Xiujinjiang and others in his house to register as good citizens at the Ministry of Households, she knew that the three girls in his house must be married to good people. The wife of the principal house is bound to think of the mandarin duck and amber.It's just that she really couldn't find any good family to marry the two of them, and she couldn't bear to let them go out of the house.After thinking about it for several days, he sighed and ordered Baoyu to be called.

Jia Zheng had lost his reputation in the brothel, and Baoyu was reluctant to go out these days, and only studied behind closed doors in the mansion.Listening to grandma's call, I put down the book and went there.

Then Jia Mu sent the others out, took him by the hand and said, "Baoyu, you are growing up too, and it's time to prepare your marriage for you next year."

Baoyu lowered his head.The last time I asked Jia Cong to say that he was dead, he accepted his fate and waited to marry Shi Xiangyun.

"It's just that besides your daughter-in-law, you still have to have two caring people to take care of you."

Baoyu was stunned.

Jia Mu said: "Yuanyang and Hupo have been with me for these years, and they have good temperament and conduct. She is two years older, and your daughter-in-law probably won't be careless. In terms of appearance, she is not very attractive. None of them are as good as Yun girl, the three of them are better than others. I thought, I will put them in your house to be your two aunts, so that the wives and concubines will be harmonious, and it will be more appropriate than others."

Baoyu was immediately dumbfounded.It took me a long time to say: "Old ancestor, are you joking?"

Jia Mu said: "How can it be a joke? Do you despise the two of them? The musk moon in your house is also good. After you get married, just keep it as a roommate."

Baoyu hurriedly knelt down: "Old ancestor, you can't do it! I have already decided not to accept concubines in Tongfang."

Jia Mu shouted: "Nonsense! There is no one in your family who does not accept Tongfang's concubine."

Baoyu said with tears in his eyes, "My grandson is unwilling, so I ask my ancestors to take it back."

Mother Jia's face turned cold: "But girl Yun refuses? She hasn't even written a marriage contract yet, but she's in charge of your house!"

Baoyu shook her head again and again: "Sister Yun has nothing to do with it, she doesn't know it at all. Many years ago, I decided not to accept Tongfang concubines, so I sent Xiren out of the mansion."

Then Jia Mu remembered that there was a girl named Xiren in the past, and she also heard the gossip of the subordinates from Yuanyangtong. Xiren seemed to have had sex with Baoyu, so she asked, "What's wrong with that Xiren? You Still miss her?"

Baoyu shook her head and said, "I've never seen her again. It's just..." Baoyu gritted his teeth, "The reason why my grandson doesn't want concubines to be concubines is because...because..."

"Say it!"

"..." Jia Baoyu thought over and over again, but really didn't know what to say to her old man.If the truth is true, Jia's mother may have a grudge against Shi Xiangyun; if he does not tell the truth, he will not be able to make up a proper lie.In the end, he just shook his head and didn't say why.

How could Mother Jia know what he was thinking?Seeing that he refused to agree and did not say why, and was reluctant to force him again and again, she let him go with a long sigh.I was full of thoughts and doubts in my heart.After thinking about it, he suddenly slapped his knee: "Why did you bring up that attacker for no reason? Could it be that she did something in the mansion back then?"
