The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Since the hostage Wan Zhang was placed in front of the horse to clear the way, Lin Hai and others walked safely for a whole day without incident.In the evening, Lin Daiyu chose a place and ordered everyone to set up camp.

Jia Cong looked around for a long time, and couldn't help but sneered: "If he comes out and have a face-to-face negotiation with me, I'll have a better opinion of him." Then he moved closer to Wan Zhang, "You really don't have a good eye for picking my lord. Great."

Wan Zhang smiled wryly, "It's my fault, I underestimated you all."

Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "It has nothing to do with you. It is obvious that the time has come for him to meet him head-on. He doesn't even dare to show his face. Not only does he have no courage, but he also has no vision. I didn't kill you, isn't it because I have scruples about his father? Either I dare not face the fact of complete failure, or I want to save face and I don’t want to lose face in front of others. Let me tell you, your lord looks smart, but you are actually like my second uncle in your bones."

Wan Zhang was silent for a moment, looked at him and said, "Will Third Master Cong not interrogate me?"

"Do not want to know."

Wan Zhang wondered: "Who taught the third master to be wise and protect his life? This is the law of the court, and it is definitely not something that your green forest masters can teach you. And Mr. Lin and Mr. Su are all gentlemen, and your father is just pretending to be a fool." Idiots, self-defilement and escape from the world."

Jia Cong said: "Natural."

Wan Zhang shook his head and said, "I was wrong. It's not temperament, it's habit, it can't be born."

Jia Cong shrugged and said, "Believe it or not." He turned around and left.

Wan Zhang yelled: "San Ye stay a step." Jia Cong came back again.Wan Zhang looked at him and said, "Master Cong, although you don't know my name and surname, I'm afraid we will work together sooner or later. Presumably the third master knows that if you want to achieve great things, you can't do it only by relying on a humble gentleman like Lord Lin. Indispensable. The third master wants to let you know if he has chosen a master. I will follow whoever you follow."

Jia Cong narrowed his eyes and said, "What if you don't like the person I choose?"

Wan Zhang said: "I have figured it out after being a hostage for this day. The third master is right. Now that everything is unclear, it is too early to choose the master. Your eyes are higher than mine, and I am willing to follow the winner. Even if the third master The choice is not mine," he blinked, and Jia Cong twitched the corner of his mouth. "As long as the third master sends a letter, I will follow you."

Jia Cong tilted his head and looked at him for a long time, and said: "I see that the one you choose now is really not good. How did you fall in love with him before?"

Wan Zhang smiled slightly and said, "Be ruthless and decisive, and the first strike is the best."

Jia Cong frowned and said, "Isn't it reckless and arrogant?"

Wan Zhang said: "Resolute and reckless are sometimes difficult to distinguish. Until he met the third master, he was decisive but not reckless. Assassinating the third master is decisive, even if he misses, this move is still right." He sighed With a voice, "It's just that I underestimated the abilities of Third Master and Uncle Jia."

Jia Cong shook his head and said, "This move was right thousands of years ago, but it's wrong now. Your master will definitely lose, and you will never win. Want to hear why?"

Wan Zhang said with a smile, "I think so."

"He's old." Wan Zhang frowned.Jia Cong looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, looked at the sinking sun and said sadly, "He is not old, but his heart is old. He has lost the most important thing for young people: the ability to receive fresh information." Nai turned to Wan Zhang Said, "If there is a talent who is difficult for me to use, I must kill him so that others will not be able to fight against me in the future. This is a method of internal fighting. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, this idea has been correct. And a few months ago when I was in Daming Gong hung a world map; I reminded his staff a few days ago that the world is huge and can be expanded, but he didn't listen to it. He lost the vigorous heart of a young man and has no interest in the new world outside .Today is different from the past, only those who look at the world can be successful." After speaking, he turned around and left.

Uncle Yang was smoking a pipe not far away, and seeing him walking towards him, he called him to his side and asked in a low voice: "I heard what you and that old boy said. What are you talking about? I can't understand it!"

Jia Cong leaned his head close to his ear and snickered, "You don't need to understand, he can't either. I was pretending to fool him."

"What did I say?" Yang Erbo muttered twice. "Look at your face, you're just pretending." Jia Cong grinned and ran away.

Nothing happened overnight.The next day, the camp was set up, and the hostages were still wearing rough paper.Until he was about to pass through a town, Jia Cong changed another sheet for him, on which the word "adulter" was rewritten.In this way, even if someone who could read saw it, they would think that Wan Zhang was caught stealing and would not care about this matter.

In the evening, there is an inn. Because of his high skill, Wan Zhang took him to stay in the inn for fear that he would be rescued, with Uncle Yang guarding him.

Wan Zhang took the opportunity to say to Jia Cong: "Just now I heard someone whispering, what kind of sign did you put on me?"

Jia Cong said: "An adulterer. You are Lao Tzu's subordinate, but you seduce your son. It is not wrong to say that you are an adulterer." Uncle Yang laughed as he listened, Wan Zhang looked strange.

All the way back safe and sound.When they saw the gate of Guangzhou City, the person who sent a fast horse to deliver a message to Wang Ziteng also returned, Jia Congfang took off the "adulter" on Wan Zhang's face, ordered someone to untie the rope, pointed at his horse and said: "Here, I helped you raise it all the way. Remember to pay for the fodder and your own meal money in the future." Wan Zhang stretched his muscles with a mournful face—the beard sticking to his face had already fallen off a little, but no one helped him wash his face. Tidying up—and bowing to the crowd again, ignoring the idle men, women, girls and children pointing around, jumped on the horse and ran away.Lin Hai and the others ignored it and walked forward on their own.

Standing in front of the city gate of Guangzhou, Lin Hai sighed, "It's time." Then he went straight into the city, and Prince Teng came to meet him at the gate of the mansion.

Jia Cong went forward to give old man Wang a hug regardless, and pretended to cry: "Uncle Wang, you can't see me anymore."

Wang Ziteng liked this kid's clinginess, and said cheerfully, "What's wrong?"

"My nephew, I was almost killed, it was so dangerous."

Wang Ziteng was taken aback, and turned his head to look at Lin Hai.Lin Hai shook his head: "It's hard to say."

The prince hurriedly said: "Since that's the case, let's go in first." Then he led everyone in, and after walking a dozen steps, he said to Jia Cong, "Did you do anything in Beijing?"

Jia Cong pursed his lips: "Uncle, how long have I been away from Beijing! I walked so slowly after traveling all the way with Uncle Lin. What goes wrong in Beijing is not my fault."

Wang Ziteng said: "Wei Ruolan is here."

"what?!"

"I said I got your letter and came to look for you." Wang Ziteng said, "I see him as if he has something important to do."

"Huh?!" Jia Cong blinked, "He came here because... he received something I sent him from Suzhou?"

Wang Ziteng said: "He didn't mention the reason, he just asked Huan'er, and Huan'er said that you would come to Guangzhou to find me first. This kid rushed all the way here, and he was ashamed when he came. He arrived seven or eight days ago. In previous years I also said that he was a bit delicate, but I misunderstood him. It's just that he seems to be very preoccupied these days."

"Oh..." Jia Cong followed and exchanged glances, "We had a lot of troubles on the road, and we fought several battles, that's why we're so slow." Nai said enthusiastically, "Our military adviser is really capable. Hehe!" Immediately thinking that the military book they were reading was an heirloom of Wei's family, he felt a little guilty.

When everyone was seated in the hall, Jia Cong stood up and said, "Uncle Wang, please talk first, I'll go see Brother Wei." Wang Ziteng nodded, and called a servant to lead him to Wei Ruolan's guest house. .

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Wei Ruolan was pacing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, obviously impatient.Jia Cong hurriedly told the kid to go out, and walked towards Wei Ruolan by himself.Wei Ruolan also saw him, and stepped forward to meet him: "Cong'er!"

Jia Cong let out a "hush", and Wei Ruolan was taken aback.Jia Cong stared at his face for a long time, nodded, and asked pretendingly, "Why did Brother Wei come to Lingnan?"

Wei Ruolan said anxiously: "Don't play sloppy with me. I just ask you, what happened to the box you sent me?"

Jia Cong said: "I was entrusted to deliver it to you."

"who!"

Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "Brother Wei is very clear."

Wei Ruolan was stunned: "He...how is he?"

"Very good." Jia Cong shrugged, "It should be said to be very good. The daughter-in-law is very beautiful and virtuous, and he will probably have a child soon. He also has a big career himself."

Wei Ruolan's complexion was either happy or sad, and she remained silent.Jia Cong was tired from standing, so he walked to a chair under the banyan tree in the courtyard and sat down.There was a small tea set beside him, so he poured himself a drink.After drinking two cups of tea, Wei Ruolan finally came over and sat down beside him.Jia Cong poured a cup of tea for him and asked, "Did you come to Lingnan this time because of your own idea or Uncle Wei's?"

Wei Ruolan sighed: "My father asked me to come."

Jia Cong nodded: "The old man has not forgotten that he has an eldest son."

Wei Ruolan said: "Back then he disappeared. Our family sent people to Changxing County to investigate, but there was no news. My father often said later that my eldest brother was extremely intelligent. Back then, the family sent someone to look after him secretly. If he got into an accident or was kidnapped by Huazi, it must be someone from his mother's family who kidnapped him."

Jia Cong frowned and said, "You used the word 'guai' very inappropriately. He was already nine years old at the time, considering everyone's eldest son, he was very old. Couldn't he just run away by himself?"

Wei Ruolan said decisively: "No. He is the grandson of the Wei family."

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "If I remember correctly, you are the uncle at home. Since I recognized you, I called you Big Brother Wei, not Second Brother Wei."

Wei Ruolan bowed her head and said: "Just because... I really can't find him. I belonged to the second master when I was young. I'm afraid someone will ask gossip. He is still the eldest son in the genealogy."

Jia Cong sneered and said, "I don't even give him the family ranking, even if there is a name on the genealogy, it is actually removed." Wei Ruolan wanted to defend himself, but Jia Cong said first, "I've never had anything to do with myself. From the beginning, I never asked much about other people's family affairs. As an indifferent person like me, I think your father is too much. It is not wrong for him to divorce his wife, and it is not wrong to let the eldest son guard the tomb and send someone to look after him secretly. However, Wei Ruoheng's family ranking has been cancelled, so why does he have the face to claim to be his father?"

Wei Ruolan immediately blushed, and after a while he said: "My father is really timid."

Jia Cong twitched the corner of his mouth: "It's not timid at all! A man who is half responsible, even worse than a woman, is quite weird. No wonder Wei Ruoheng will kill you."

Wei Ruolan was taken aback: "What?"

Jia Cong said angrily, "Thank you. If I hadn't persuaded Wei Ruoheng to change your fate, you would have died in the second year after getting married."

Wei Ruolan was shocked: "What?! Please explain clearly!"

Jia Cong said casually: "Don't ask so clearly, I don't know your fate, I only saw your daughter-in-law. She was supposed to be a widow after a year of marriage... She won't be your wife either. I'm afraid she will be a widow, Let her marry someone else. Wei Ruoheng hates your mother to the bone, and is going to kill you to avenge your mother and vent her anger for his mother. I persuaded him a few months ago, saying that your father and ancestor were right. To say who was wrong, only the first emperor was stupid. I was a bit weird at the time. Wei Ruoheng is really a rare genius with outstanding vision, and he is living a very good life now. Most capable people will not be able to climb to the top. Thinking of going back and taking revenge on those who wronged them back then. Not because of magnanimity, but because they no longer look down on those people, and they don't care about taking revenge on them. But with Wei Ruoheng's ability today, he is still planning to attack you. It doesn't fit the overall commonality of characters at his level. Now I understand. Before Ling Zu died, he tried to trap him so that he could not completely abandon the Jingcheng Wei family; The living uncle has been cancelled! My eldest brother died young, and the second elder brother Lian has always been the second uncle. And his mother has been venting resentment in his ears for many years, so he wants to kill you. "

Wei Ruolan was dumbfounded!Jia Cong drank tea and waited for him to recover.After a long time, Wei Ruolan suddenly said: "He already understood that father had no choice but to divorce his wife back then?"

Jia Cong covered his face and said after a while: "Yes! He understands, so he doesn't hold any grudges anymore. He put it down, so he returned what your grandfather passed to him, and it has nothing to do with your family since then. But Do you understand? Wei! Brother! Brother!"

Wei Ruolan said urgently: "Since he already understood, why didn't he go home?"

"My God!" Jia Cong sighed up to the sky, "Ah, I can't take it anymore! Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? It's Jia Baoyu who knows a little about the world... It's one thing to understand, but another to forgive. It’s true. We can understand many things, but whoever gets stabbed by the knife will hurt. The past is over, and nothing can make up for it, and it’s not uncommon for people to ask your family to make up for it. It’s good to let you go Yes, really. Brother Wei Ruolan, you are not his opponent. He only needs one finger to crush you to death. Could it be that your old man kicked out this 'uncle' and replaced him with another 'uncle', and you still expect him to grow up? Going back? That’s a person, not a thing. People have emotions and desires... Oh, if you don’t understand, I’m going to run out of words.”

Wei Ruolan stumbled and said: "I really don't understand! Back then when his family got into trouble with Prince Yizhong, how many people died because of Prince Yizhong? It doesn't matter whether it's injustice or injustice, there are bloody corpses. My father avoided disaster. The reason why I have to divorce my wife is for the life of the whole family... Now that Prince Yizhong has been rehabilitated, and he also knows his father's difficulties, why don't he recognize his ancestors and return to his clan?"

"What if Prince Yizhong hasn't been rehabilitated?"

Wei Ruolan was stunned, unable to answer for a while.

Jia Cong stared at him blankly for a long time, seeing that Wei Ruolan felt uncomfortable, Fang said slowly, "I believe Fourth Sister Chen's words."

"what?"

Jia Cong sighed lightly. "I believe..." I believe that Chen Ruiwen is not a fool, but he firmly believes that anyone surnamed Chen will work for him without complaint or regret. "Because I know you, I know that you are definitely not a fool." Nai shook his head and said seriously, "Brother Wei, radish and green vegetables, each has his own love, right?"

Wei Ruolan said inexplicably, "Yes."

"I remember Brother Wei likes to eat braised elbows, and I quite like them too. As long as the cooks are skilled, most people love to eat braised elbows, right?"

"……Right."

Jia Cong shrugged and said, "But there will always be people who don't like this, right?"

"right……"

"So you see, most people value their ancestors very much, and some concubines even go to war to recognize their ancestors and return to their clan; most people, after they are sensible, know that their father did something wrong to him back then. His father; just like most people like to eat braised pork knuckles. But there are always people who don't like it." Jia Cong stared at Wei Ruolan and said solemnly, "Your family is out of luck. Wei Ruoheng just doesn't value his ancestors very much. It also happens that he is unwilling to forgive his father. Brother Wei, you have been comfortably in front of the young master in Beijing for more than ten years, and you will not understand how hard it is for him to comfort a heartbroken mother when he is outside in a storm Resentful. And many years later, because his grandfather put a hook on him and couldn’t let go of the Wei family, he sent people to Beijing to investigate—the name of the uncle of the Wei family is Wei Ruolan! It’s as if Wei Ruoheng had never been born. What is in his heart? Taste? Now this is the best result, don't think that all the good things in the world will be taken by your family. The best relationship between you two is the best relationship."

Jia Cong stood up, patted Wei Ruolan on the shoulder, took a few steps away and looked back.Wei Ruolan sat blankly, like a wooden Bodhisattva.Jia Cong smiled wryly and left.

The author has something to say: Well, Fourth Sister Chen has long been instigated by us.
