The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Hearing that Baoyu said that Jia Xu was not dead and had been adopted by Dongping Palace, Jia's mother suddenly fell ill from fright.Jia Cong and Jia Huan sincerely spent dinner outside before returning to the mansion, and they were dragged from the gate of the mansion to Jiamu's yard.The two brothers argued half-truths and half-falsely, saying that Jia Xu was skilled in martial arts and stepped on the top of the wall and treetops like walking on the ground. Jia Mu was so frightened that she couldn't get off the kang, and ordered to guard the beams and roofs one after another.Everyone only agreed with their mouths, but they really didn't know how to guard the beams and roofs.

Jia Zheng said anxiously: "It's better to go to Dongping Palace to apologize!"

Jia Cong thought for a moment and said: "He didn't say it clearly, but he just wanted to save face for our house. Tomorrow, we will go to find out what's going on, and we will be excused. Admitting this matter is not good for the whole family's reputation. Dear sisters Haven't even gotten married yet."

Jia Zhenglian said "very very very".

The next day, the two of them really ran to Dongping Palace.Naturally, it was not an apology, but an invitation for credit, and told old man Mu how scared Jia Mu was.The old man Mu sighed: "Revenge is the way to be serious, and your fifth uncle will naturally figure it out after a while." They all said, "The old man is wise", so they played with him all day, and only spoke the Mu family's language when they went back. Vague, not sure what it means.

The luck in Jiamu's heart was gone, and she was terrified day and night, and every slight sound felt that an assassin had entered the house.In the end, it was Shi Xiangyun who came up with the idea to tie many bells on the beams of the house, but if someone passed through the top, they would definitely ring the bells.Jia Mu immediately ordered people to hang bells on the beam like spider webs.When the bell didn't ring, Jiamu calmed down.Whenever she accidentally got an idea, when the bell rang, she immediately sat up in shock and couldn't sleep or eat. After just three or five days, she had aged ten years. According to later generations, she would be neurasthenia.Jia Cong heard the mandarin duck's report, and sighed: "This is a living punishment. If you want me to say, it would be better to die early, but she is always in good health, and it is not certain when she will be punished for this crime."

As soon as Jia's mother fell ill, Mrs. Wang's spirit recovered immediately, and she even spoke much more smoothly.This day Baoyu came to pay her respects, and Mrs. Wang took advantage of the situation and said, "Your wife is weak, so it's inconvenient to serve you. I have two good girls here. Let them go with you so that they can take care of you sooner or later. I don't worry." .” Several young girls around took a breath of air-conditioning, and secretly looked at each other.Caiyun hangs her head like a wooden man.

Baoyu said: "The old ancestor was just sick. What's the matter with adding people to my grandson? There are enough people in my room, and my wife doesn't have to worry about it. But my wife is sick. It's best to have someone to take care of me."

Mrs. Wang said with a smile, "Isn't there enough maids and daughters-in-law in my house? Baoyu, both of them are honest. You have to treat them well."

Baoyu thought for a while and said, "If you give it to me, will it be considered mine? Am I in charge?"

Mrs. Wang smiled kindly, and said: "Since it is given to you, it is naturally yours. You can say whatever you want."

Baoyu nodded: "Since that's the case, son, I would like to thank my wife for the reward."

Mrs. Wang couldn't help shouting: "Chunlan, Qiulan!" Two fifteen or sixteen-year-old fair-looking girls were overwhelmed with joy, and they hurried forward and knelt down and kowtowed. "Go with the second master. From now on, he will be your master, and I will only entrust him to you so that you can take care of him."

Both girls said yes, tears of joy came out.

Baoyu's face was expressionless, and she bowed deeply to Madam Wang: "Thank you Madam for the reward! I hope Madam will take good care of her."

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Go back quickly, I have plenty of servants here, so I don't need you."

Baoyu saluted again, and really led the two maids away, but never took a close look at them.

The two girls were ecstatic, but also somewhat apprehensive, and followed Baoyu closely.Unexpectedly, after walking for a while, I felt that the road was wrong.The two of them looked at each other for several times, Qiulan was more courageous, stepped forward and said, "Second Master, did you go the wrong way?"

Baoyu lowered his eyebrows and said, "That's right."

Qiulan said cautiously: "Your servant is looking at... this doesn't seem to be the way back to our yard?"

Baoyu glanced at her: "Our yard?"

Seeing his cold face, Qiulan was taken aback, and said, "No...it doesn't look like the way back to Second Master's courtyard."

Baoyu said "hmm" and said, "This is the courtyard of Mrs. Zhu's wife."

The two of them looked at each other a few more times, and were suddenly overjoyed!That's right, the wife just casually gave them to the second master, and she hasn't told anyone else yet.Grandma Zhu is now the housekeeper, and she has to hand over all the monthly payments.So I became more and more happy.

When we arrived at Li Wan's courtyard, Li Wan greeted him personally from the back room, and said with a smile, "Why is Brother Bao free to visit our house today?"

Baoyu bowed to the ground and said seriously, "Sister-in-law, these two girls were given to me by my wife just now. My yard is too small to accommodate so many people, and I can't bear to refuse my wife's kindness. Come to ask sister-in-law to let the two of them go out and get married."

The two servant girls were shocked and shouted in unison: "Second master!"

Baoyu saluted again without looking sideways. She didn't wait for Li Wan and the two maids to make a move. She didn't even go into the house, but took her feet and walked away!The girls and women in the rest of the yard were dumbfounded.

What else did Li Wan not know?Seeing that the two girls were about to chase, he hurriedly ordered someone to stop them.Seeing that Baoyu had disappeared, the two girls were terrified and cried loudly.

Li Wan glanced at them and said, "Why are you crying? Isn't it better to go out and marry than stay in the mansion as a girl? You both look good, why don't you be afraid that your husband won't like you?" He sighed again, "Just look, Caiyun is twenty years old and hasn't been released yet."

Qiulan choked with sobs and said aggrievedly: "My wife agreed to my two aunts."

Li Wan sneered: "Aunt Bai is not dead yet."

The two maids shivered in unison.After a long while, Chunlan said nonchalantly, "There is a wife..."

Li Wan looked at her and said, "Will the wife live longer or the second grandma Bao? The wife can't get out of bed yet, who knows if she can make decisions for whom in the future. Do you know why the old ancestor fell ill? Baoyu is For your own good. Otherwise, would he be able to care about your life?"

Gossip about Rongguo Mansion has always spread quickly.The old lady killed her aunt and grandma in her early years, and she knew everything she should know about the matter of her father and son.The two servant girls looked at each other for a long time, then fell to their knees with a plop, and said no more.

That Baoyu went all the way back to his yard, just doing nothing, and never said a word to Xiangyun.

Two days later, a letter came from Qi. Jia Xu had found out the case back then.The one who killed Zhu Tong's father and Prince Yizhong's young son was actually a monk, with the title of Guiming, and he usually lived in Tianqi Temple outside the west gate of the capital.The temple was built by the previous dynasty, and it has been gradually dilapidated and desolate in recent years.Jia Cong did know about this temple. In the original book, there is a Taoist priest named "Wang Yitie" who specializes in false advertisements, and hangs around there.It's just that "Temple" is hung on the signboard of their temple. In fact, there are monks, Taoists and priests, which are quite mixed.

Jarvis was usually not talkative, so he sighed first when he heard the letter: "He is actually a monk."

Jia Cong said: "Baoqi family is the first killer and then the family."

Jarvis shook his head and said, "Since you are a disciple of the Buddhist family, how can you kill?"

Jia Huan said: "He really complied with that sentence. There is peace in the world, and you will live up to the Tathagata and the Lord."

Then he called all the people to gather at Liu's Timber Store and told them about it.

Zhu Tong was stunned for a long time: "A monk?!" He gritted his teeth and said, "It's useless for me sometimes to think that everyone is the master in the end. If I don't kill this person, I will be sorry for the Buddha."

"Huh?" Jia Cong asked in surprise, "Have you ever thought about each being the master? Oh, Zhu Tong, you are such a good person! I used to think that you and Gong Kun were almost scoundrels, but I was wrong."

In recent days, Gong Kun has been staying at Gong Sanyi's place to take care of the old man's injuries, and today he was called over to discuss some important matters, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Gradually, he became as temperamental as he is today."

Jia Huan also said: "I used to have Shi Qiusheng's temper."

Jia Cong gave him a sideways glance: "In the past, your temperament was similar to Brother Yaoer's, but you were younger and less calm than him. Over the years, you have already become almost as skinny as me, why is he still the same as before?"

Jia Huan opened his mouth to refute, Qin Keqing coughed, and Jia Huan dared not speak.Liu Xianglian laughed beside her.

Jia Cong said: "My fifth uncle got the news that this monk's skill is extremely high, and it's not something ordinary people can handle. A scholar like Zhu Tong doesn't even need to think about it. Besides, Tianqi Temple is a messy place. character."

Gong Kun asked: "Have you checked with Luo Tainiang?"

Jia Cong said: "I've checked, and everything else is normal, except for one strange thing. This monk is content with poverty but loves tea. Tea is a thing that burns money. Although this Guiming's Buddhism is mediocre, there are always benefactors who give him it." Good tea." Everyone smiled lightly.He went on to say, "Tianqi Temple itself can't find anything. The more ordinary the place is, the safer it is. They are the main killers of the imperial court. It's better to make them bigger."

Gong Kun asked: "According to what the fifth master said, what is the kung fu of returning to the Ming Dynasty? Is there a metaphor?"

Jia Cong said: "Ten of us are no match anyway." Nai looked at Zhu Tong, "Do you have to take revenge with your own hands or just kill him?"

Zhu Tong said: "I will take revenge for killing my father myself."

Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "That's the matter between you and Gong Kun. This man is powerful. Unless we wait for old man Gong to recover, the rest of our group of shrimps and shrimps will be no match for us." Liu Xianglian coughed twice, and Jia Cong only Do not hear.

Gong Kun said: "His enemy, naturally he will think about it. If I can't think of it, I will think about it."

Zhu Tong said calmly: "It's not difficult to know who it is."

Gong Kun said with a smile: "Wait for the master to plan."

Jia Cong, Jia Huan, and Liu Xianglian stretched out three hands to the last piece of walnut cake at the same time.

A few days later, Tong Xiucai, a pilgrim from Tianqi Temple, came to fulfill his wish.Although the temple is broken, a lot of paper horse money and food are prepared and parked every day for the pilgrims in the past.That Tong Xiucai was a foreign scholar who went to Beijing to study. After burning the incense, he took a stroll in the temple.Although the statue is hideous like a god and ghost, this person is not afraid, so he took a leisurely look at it for a while.Back to the Taoist monastery to rest, and met the Taoist priest Wang who was in charge here, who was the "Wang Yitie" mentioned by Jia Cong.This man was originally a quack warlock, and he used to talk to all kinds of people. When he saw this Tong Xiucai, he also said a few sentences of poetry, and coaxed him a few incense money.

Tong Xiucai said: "I heard that Daoist Wang's plaster can cure all diseases, but can one plaster cure internal fear?"

Wang Yitie looked him up and down and said, "Scholars are afraid of internal affairs? I can't see it."

Tong Xiucai waved his hand and said: "It's not the late student. The late student traveled to Beijing to study, and the money brought by his family gradually ran out, and his pockets were shy, and now he is working as a tent in a shop to make ends meet. The owner is generous and generous. Anyone who goes out with him, a little He paid all the small money for us, and he usually pays the bill for eating and drinking outside. The only thing is that the owner is afraid of guilt and never wants to go to the flower building. Every time I go to the flower building with the guys, I have to pay for it. If the owner It would be nice if you weren't so afraid of your wife."

The little Taoist who was serving the tea showed disdain on his face, but Wang Yitie didn't show it at all, and clapped his hands: "This is easy. Use one excellent autumn pear, two yuan of rock sugar, one yuan of tangerine peel, three bowls of water, and pears." Ripeness is the degree. Eat such a pear every morning, and you will be fine after eating it."

Tong Xiucai pointed at him and said, "What an old Taoist priest, here to coax people again. These are just ordinary pears in rock sugar, which can clear away heat and quench thirst, relieve lung heat and cough, itchy throat and phlegm. It has nothing to do with internal fear."

Wang Yitie laughed and said: "So the scholar knows this! Then how about I change another health-preserving prescription? It's sweet and delicious and doesn't hurt anyone. After eating it, a hundred-year-old person will die anyway. Why should you be afraid of guilt if you die!" It worked then."

Tong Xiucai shook his head and said, "The strange Taoist said you are a glib bullhead."

Just as he was talking, the door curtain was lifted, and a very beautiful woman came out from inside. Tong Xiucai couldn't help but follow her all the way with her eyes.The woman nodded slightly to Wang Yitie and left, but Wang Yitie stood up and shook her head.The woman had just left the house when Tong Xiucai turned her head to look at Wang Yitie, shaking her head in a mean way and said, "You Taoist priest is so dishonest, there is such a charming and handsome young lady hidden in the house~~"

As soon as the words were finished, there was a "Dang", before Tong Xiucai had time to move, he felt something flying over his scalp and landed on the ground.Before he knew it, he stretched out his hand to wipe it, and a small piece of hair on his forehead was chopped off by the roots!Can't help opening my mouth to look at Wang Yitie in horror.Wang Yitie pointed to the ground, and saw a copper coin with smooth sides rolling on the green bricks, without stopping.

Tong Xiucai was shocked! "This... who is this woman?"

Wang Yitie let out a "hush", waved his hands and said, "You are so bold! That woman is Qin Sangu, the treasurer of Qin Dynasty, the No. Hero! This woman has learned all her kung fu from him, and she has also made her husband's career bigger and bigger. Do you dare to make fun of her? Are you looking for death?"

Tong Xiucai came to a sudden: "So she is Qin Sangu! She has been famous for a long time, and our proprietress thinks highly of her."

Wang Yitie said: "Your lady boss must also be very tight."

"Isn't it!" Tong Xiucai was full of interest, and the shock just now had been forgotten, "Our boss's wife is also very beautiful, no wonder the boss treats her like a baby."

Wang Yitie attacked the case and said: "Let me just say, for a man who fears guilt, his wife is either a shrew or a beauty!"

The two of them gossiped about the market for a long time, and Tong Xiucai finally remembered her hair: "Oh! It will take a long time to grow out! It's so ugly, what should I do."

Wang Yitie looked at him and said, "Scholars don't see sorrow."

Tong Xiucai laughed and said: "Anyway, I won't take the scientific examination next year. It doesn't matter. It's just to make the guys below me laugh a little bit. Just find an excuse. This shopkeeper Qin is really a beauty. Talk about a few strands of hair." , even if she stabbed me with a knife, I would be happy."

Wang Yitie only laughed and said that he was "sexy and bold".After a few more words, Tong Xiucai left.

Unexpectedly, he had just left for less than half an hour, when the sound of horseshoes sounded outside, it was actually Zhao Cheng, the commander of the five cities' soldiers and horses, leading the people here in person!It turned out that a policeman found a piece of yellow paper in the latrine of the yamen just now, on which was written in blood: "The evil monk of Tianqi Temple returns to Ming and kills me. If I don't avenge this revenge, I will not return to the underworld." There was also a baby's blood on it. handprint.Zhao Cheng was shocked, and immediately ordered him to check it. It was indeed human blood.Fearing that the wronged soul would file a complaint, Zhao Cheng hurried over to Tianqi Temple to find out what happened.
