The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

But it was said that Jia Amnesty made it his own to make an engagement for Gong Kun and Yuan Chun, Jia's mother in Beijing and others were disappointed and fell ill three times, but Wang Ziteng in Guangzhou was overjoyed, so he ordered a big gift for Gong Kun.

Seeing the shock, Gong Kun guessed a little bit, and couldn't help frowning.After thinking about it for a while, he sent a servant to invite Jia Cong.

Recently, Jia Cong has been busy helping "Hi Claw" make up stories and design images, so he has been discussing matters with Wu Xiaoxi and a few people who are familiar with maritime business.Fortunately, they are the only ones in the Manchu Dynasty who have been busy buying Western firearms, and they have found out all the ways.Moreover, this product is not a common sea product, and the imperial court does not allow it to be seen in the market, and all the goods that flow into this dynasty are smuggled goods.The nearby maritime merchants only bought a little for them incidentally, they didn't specialize in this business, and very few had connections.When Wu Xiaoxi usually bought it, he only said it was for his family's seagoing boat to go to sea.Jia Cong and the others used the signboard of "Tianjia" to release news in a roundabout manner, saying that the emperor's family wanted to investigate the smuggling of Western firearms, and immediately scared everyone away.It is also said that someone with the pseudonym "Hi Claw" has a lot of background and dares to smuggle firearms in the face of the world and ignore them.Most of the sea merchants in this business did it incidentally. They only bought them for self-defense against pirates, and it was not easy to make money, so they let them go.

On this day, Jia Cong and Wu Xiaoxi met another maritime merchant who had just been frightened by them, and talked with him about smuggling Western firearms and guns. Do it again. Today there is a rich man, nicknamed 'Hi Claw', he is the only one who dares, why don't you two go find him?"

Wu Xiaoxi said sadly: "It's just that I don't know him either."

Na Haishang said: "I heard that he has a house in Guangzhou, you can go and find out."

Jia Cong asked: "Do you have a real name? I can't go inquire about the 'Hi' boss."

The sea merchant said: "There is no real name or surname. I guess, I probably don't plan to use my real name and surname. Since it is a business, there is always a name on the outside. And someone has seen his badge, saying that it is a circle with a circle inside." It's only a six-clawed octopus, I don't know if it's true or not." Jia Cong and Wu Xiaoxi looked at each other with frowning brows, thanked the sea merchant, and ordered someone to send him out.

The two clapped hands immediately, and Xiao Xi smiled and said, "It went much smoother than I thought."

Jia Cong sighed: "Because my court merchants are still afraid of the court after all."

Xiaoxi shook his head and said, "Because this thing can't be circulated and doesn't make money. Otherwise, how can private salt never be able to resist?"

Jia Cong smiled and cupped his hands and said, "What Wu Shangshu said is true."

So they packed up their things and went back separately.

Before Jia Congcai returned to the mansion, before he could change his clothes, someone came back and said, Mr. Xiao Gong asked him to go, and he pulled his horse out again.When I arrived at Gong Kun's house, I saw things piled up all over the yard, which were obviously gifts from others, so I asked Gong Kun, "Who is so generous?"

Gong Kun said: "Master Wang Ziteng."

Jia Cong was taken aback: "Why did the old man give you a gift?"

Gong Kun sighed softly: "Look at this list." Then he handed the gift list to him.

Jia Cong glanced at it: "Wow, what a solemn gift." Immediately, he noticed something was wrong, pointed to one of them and said, "What's the matter with this ivory comb?" Six table screens!" Immediately, he stared at Gong Kun, with a look of "you hook up three times and four times" to ask for guilt.Hey, aren't you going to marry my eldest sister? "Why does this look like a dowry to me? He doesn't have a daughter to marry, right? Lian's second sister-in-law's sister seems to be married to the son of Marquis Baoning?"

Gong Kun said, "Never."

Jia Cong was taken aback: "Huh?" The original book is clearly written like this!

Gong Kun said: "Miss Wang fell ill when the wedding was approaching, and then she fell ill again, and then she got sick again. Then I asked a wise man to make a calculation, and said that they had invited to account for the horoscope in the past. Mr. is incompetent, and the two people's horoscopes are very strong, especially the male party against the female party, saying a lot of words that are out of the book bag. Mr. Wang immediately refused to agree to marry the daughter, and the historian had no choice but to withdraw the marriage. "

Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "It's clearly Wang Ziteng who wants to regret his relationship."

Gong Kun said: "Yes. Because at that moment, he had already seen that the Shijia would not get better; your family can get up because of the birth of the lord, but you are not going to bring the Shijia together. Later he asked you, if the second girl If you never promised to Gao’s family, you would think about who to promise to. You said that you promised to someone who is reliable and needs money from your own family. Mr. Wang said that the first two are all that’s all, what does it mean that you don’t spend money? You said no The one with the surname Situ doesn’t cost money. Mr. Wang thought twice and married his daughter to the son of Wang Mi, a general who follows him now. It’s ridiculous that historians thought that he voluntarily resigned. The daughter is low-key married. The marriage is also low-key. When you got married, you happened to go to Pingan Prefecture to bargain with Gao Li and postpone the second girl's date of leaving the cabinet, so you are not in Beijing."

Jia Cong said "Oh": "This old fox!" Nai then asked, "Then does his family still have a daughter to marry...Pfft! I forgot!" He pointed to the gift list and smiled, "He is the eldest sister's relative. Uncle! This is the dowry prepared for the eldest sister! I said Gong Yizhi, when did you two get married, I didn't see it at all!"

Gong Kun smiled wryly and said, "Who told you that I got hooked up with the eldest girl?"

Jia Cong said: "My father!" Seeing that Gong Kun's expression was not happy, he opened his mouth, "Is there any misunderstanding?"

Gong Kun said: "I'm afraid it's not a misunderstanding, it's intentional." Then he told him how Jia She came to find him that day, how he asked him, how he answered, and how Jia She tricked him into saying "very good" and went away to talk about it. .

Jia Cong was dumbfounded: "This...but you didn't agree, what's the use of him making such a fuss?"

Gong Kun said: "If I guessed correctly, he might have written to my third uncle, saying that I accepted the matter, but turned around and said it was his old man's intention."

"Eh..." Jia Cong couldn't help but laugh, "My father still has such a strategy!" Nai spread his hands and looked at Gong Kun and said, "This matter is really difficult. You, Yizhi... have a girl you like?" ?”

Gong Kun said helplessly, "I don't have that kind of thought. Now our group of girls are all extremely smart. Because I promised my grandmother not to marry a smart girl, I'm always careful in my dealings. I only talk about business and rarely have personal relationships."

Jia Cong opened his mouth: "Your grandmother... what kind of condition is this? How can there be such a strange condition? You are so smart, you can't even look down on a silly girl!"

Gong Kun let out a long sigh: "It's a long story. That's why my third and fourth uncles switched identities." Then he said something.

Talking about it while watching Jia Cong, he was not surprised to see him, but listened with gusto, and clapped his hands: "Art really comes from life! Life is worse than commentary!"

It turned out that Gong San was also named Zhan Feng back then, and he was the third son of the Zhan family. He led the trilogy to help the former Nan'an County King, who is now Huo Sheng's grandfather, and made great contributions to suppressing bandits.The prince promised to play the son of heaven after returning to Beijing, to show his merits and recommend his talents.Unexpectedly, something happened when I went home to celebrate.To celebrate success, one must drink alcohol, and after drinking, someone lost his temper and revealed his prototype.A military adviser that Zhan Feng relied on very much, he thought it was a young scholar, but he never thought that it was a little girl disguised as a man.That's all, that little girl is his cousin, fourth master Zhan Qiao's fiancée Gu Shi!

Zhan Feng turned his head and thought about it, Gu Shi had shown a lot of flaws, but he didn't care, and let her get away with it.It's just a military exchange, and it's rare to have people with the same clothes and tents.Zhan Qiao's mother felt that the woman had acted recklessly, and wanted to divorce her engagement.Zhan Feng asked himself to marry this woman.It's just that he had already made an appointment for marriage, and Mrs. Gu refused to be a child. After several months of dawdling, Zhan Feng also wanted to withdraw the engagement.But the marriage he made was the granddaughter of his grandfather's old friend.Old Master Zhan was furious and beat Zhan Feng half to death.

It happened by chance.At this juncture, people from the imperial court came and asked Zhan Feng to go to Beijing immediately to receive the seal.Naturally, the Zhan family could not tell the court the truth, they only said that Zhan Feng was slightly ill.The one who came was a tricky old eunuch who refused to wait for a moment.At that moment, Zhan Feng couldn't get off the ground at all!And it's not only Zhan Feng himself who gets the credit, there are also so many people from the tribe who joined the trilogy, how can we let it go?It happened that the king of Nan'an County fell ill on his way back to the army, and died shortly after returning to Beijing; all the people under him stayed in the south.Anyway, no one in Beijing recognized Zhan Feng, so Mrs. Zhan thought of a plan of cheating and stealing.Taking the fourth child, Zhan Qiao, as Zhan Feng, he assumed Zhan Feng's name, identity, and achievements, and by the way, gave him the marriage betrothed to Zhan Feng, and went to Beijing to receive credit.Since then, Zhan Feng has changed his name to Zhan Qiao, to match Zhan Qiao's identity name, since that Gu family was originally Zhan Qiao's daughter-in-law.

Therefore, the incident really caused chaos in their family. Gong Kun's grandfather and Gong San were also blood brothers, so her grandmother decided that her sister-in-law, Gu Shi, was not at home.Mrs. Gu once wanted to get close to her sisters-in-law, but she always put her hot face on her cold ass, and then she didn't please them at all. Instead, she often used her talent and intelligence to make fun of them.Gong Kun's grandmother suffered from a lot of uselessness, and since then she has hated smart women, and always said that "a woman who has no talent is a virtue".

After hearing this, Jia Cong blinked his eyes: "I heard from my father that later Zhan Qiao—that is, the real Zhan Feng, and now Mr. Gong Sanyi—was transferred to Zhan Shifu because he was surrounded by the late Emperor and Prince Xianyizhong. The first prince practiced martial arts, and after only half a year, he fell ill and went home to recuperate, so the fake Zhan Feng and the real Zhan Qiao took his place."

Gong Kun said: "The hunt was originally a plan of the Gu family. If it hadn't happened, someone would have recommended my fourth uncle to be Prince Zhan. Since the third uncle has obtained the position, it is naturally inconvenient for others to recommend another brother of the Zhan family. Yes. My great-grandfather was furious when he heard about it, thinking that his son had robbed his nephew of his official position, and that he would have no face in the family, so he ordered the third uncle to pretend to be sick and leave Beijing, and return the position to the fourth uncle."

"Report!" Jia Cong slapped the case and said, "It's outrageous! What do you mean give it back to him? Not to mention that it hasn't been recommended yet, how would you know that you will definitely get it if you recommend it? What if it doesn't work out? Besides, they are just He won the favor of the emperor's prince by tricks, and it wasn't that the emperor gave him a bunch of positions for him to choose. He specially picked a "Prince Zhanshi" to block his brother's way. Isn't it because the emperor was happy that he happened to give a Zhanshi! Could it be Is it hypocritical?"

Gong Kun said: "How can an old man be so complete and fair in thinking about things. My great ancestor lived a long time, and he will still be here at that time. Ever since his brothers changed marriages, he has been biased - which old man will meet him?" That matter will be biased, third uncle knew it from the moment he decided to marry third uncle."

Jia Cong snorted and said, "That fake Zhan Feng is really embarrassed, he really took the position."

Gong Kun said: "One is that grandfather's order cannot be violated; the other is, who wouldn't want a position like Prince Zhan Shi?"

Jia Cong let out a "cut", and then asked, "What happened to Mr. Gong being captured in the war?"

Gong Kun said: "It's the third uncle's plan again. My great-grandmother ordered her to return to her hometown to serve her in-laws because she disliked the fact that she loves many men. , I pretended to be taken away. The third uncle went to rescue her, and let her take him away again."

Jia Cong clapped his hands and praised: "This woman is having a great time!"

Gong Kun shook his head, and continued: "They have never had any children, and they don't mind. They just spent a few years in the barbarian tribe in such a carefree way. Who knew that Prince Yizhong thought that the third uncle was still a prisoner when he heard about it. When he was suffering in the barbarian department, someone came to ransom him! The third uncle thought it was funny, and asked for a high amount of ransom, but he paid it all."

One can imagine.After Gong Sanyi and his wife were unfairly treated by the clan, they had such a lord, they must be moved, and then came out to work for him again.And because he knew that if his family won a high-ranking official and lacked job security, he would have to give it up to another one, so why not just work secretly for Prince Yizhong without being conspicuous.

"Huh~~" Jia Cong let out a long breath. "Prince Yizhong is really a good lord. No wonder he has been dead for so long. Mr. Gong and General Bai are willing to avenge him and raise his granddaughter."

Gong Kun sighed: "Prince Yiyizhong lost. Our whole family packed up and moved early because of the letter from the third uncle, pretending to be looted by the Manchus. It took only ten days to move to the Barbarians. , The heavenly family’s decree came down, and the whole family was copied and executed.”

Jia Cong said: "How come your fourth uncle's family didn't escape?"

Gong Kun said sadly: "They are all in the capital, and they can't escape. It can be seen that a peck and a drink are predetermined."

Jia Cong said: "There is a cause and effect for every peck and drink. If he didn't want the prince Zhan to be able to escape, then Mr. Gong would be the prince and Taibao—no, maybe he wouldn't be the one." With such a high official rank, he is only a counselor, and he is useful. When disaster strikes, with the wisdom of your third uncle and Mr. Gong's martial arts, you can probably escape even in Beijing. It can be seen that taking advantage may actually lead to Suffer."

Gong Kun sighed again: "It makes sense."

Jia Cong clenched his fists with sparkling eyes and asked, "Yizhi, where is your third uncle now? Can I visit her old lady?"

Gong Kun said, "It's been more than ten years since I passed away."

Jia Cong stumbled and said bitterly: "I can't see it! How can such a strange woman die so early!" He sighed several times.

Gong Kunqiang smiled and said: "If she is still here, you two must have forgotten your friendship."

Jia Cong sighed: "It's not just about forgetting friends! You can become comrades!" After a few clicks, he thought about it for a long time, and finally turned around and thought of Yuan Chun. "Uh, um... what about the matter between you and my eldest sister?"

Gong Kun said: "This subordinate really can't think of a way."

Jia Cong thought about it for a while and said: "Since my father has released the letter, the two of you will be tied together for this trouble. Why don't I be the host tomorrow night and invite you two to have a light meal. I think There are a few ways, the three of you can discuss together. It’s just a matter of love, you can’t force it. Please tell me the truth from Yizhi. If you have no intentions for my eldest sister, you must not forcefully tie her down, it will be a bad life for both of you.”

Gong Kun said: "I really haven't thought about it, and I don't have any intentions about it. Regardless of me, the eldest girl obviously didn't intend to."

"Puchi!" Jia Cong smiled and stretched out a finger: "Big sister must be interested in you. I didn't see it, I figured it out." Nai said, "People of your age, the body It will secrete something called "hormone" to make it emotional. The German poet Goethe once said in a poem, "Which girl does not cherish spring, which boy does not fall in love." The eldest sister was in the palace at first, and the palace was deeply dangerous. She didn't have the guts to make love; after she entered the Nan'an Palace, Huo Xuan was such a thing, she was devoted to saving her life and had no time to make love; and then became a nun. When she arrived in Lingnan, she felt like she was liberated. Nothing bound her, if If she is not in love, she is not a human being. Looking back and thinking about the youth, you saved her life, Yizhi. The identity of a lifesaver is the most likely object for a woman to be in love. There is also Pegasus Entering Lingnan , It was hard at the time, and looking back, it was quite romantic." He waved his hand, "Just think about it slowly. Buddy, see you tomorrow!" Get up and leave.
