The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Jia Huan went to Feng Ziying's house to complain and did not return home, so he ate some snacks at a shop near Feng's house, and then rushed to the third aunt Qin's house in the west of the city.

Third Aunt Qin was reading the account book with a candle, and asked without raising her head when she saw him coming in, "What are you doing here?"

Jia Huan pursed his lips: "Sue again." Then he sat down in front of her, "I just told Brother Feng. Cong'er said, Brother Feng is a generalist, in case King Yan's eldest wife and younger wife are dead Wanting to protect his son, Brother Feng would only hold his grievances in his stomach, drink some wine and shoot arrows to vent his anger. Therefore, he said that he had to go to the third aunt and sister to file a complaint."

Qin Sangu raised her eyebrows, and Jia Huan then told the story again.What I just said to Feng Ziying was quite plain, but this time I will add more details.Qin Sangu pondered for a long time after hearing this, and only said: "I understand, you can't mess around."

Jia Huan bowed his head and said, "It's hard to say. What does the third aunt think, what will King Yan do to him?"

Sangu Qin thought for a long time, then shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Jia Huan said: "Hooking up with my important subordinates is like stealing my important concubine. No matter how much the prince likes that son, he will not let him go easily."

Third Aunt Qin glanced at him: "According to common sense, I shouldn't be able to bear it." At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside, it turned out that Sangu Qin was sent by Prince Yan's Mansion.Qin Sangu stood up and said, "Obviously that's the matter." Jia Huan nodded, first waved his hands, and then cupped them.Qin Sangu then rushed to Yan Wangfu overnight.

Entering Situ Pan's outer study and seeing Feng Ziying, he frowned and said, "Huan'er went to my place to file a complaint just now." Feng Ziying shook her head.

Situ Pan rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "What did he tell you?" Qin Sangu then repeated Jia Huan's words, even saying "stolen my concubine Ji".Situ Pan still had a gloomy face in front of him, but after hearing this, he sneered and said, "It's really kind." Then he looked at Feng Ziying.

Feng Ziying smiled wryly, "It's all subordinates who don't investigate."

Situ Pan said: "If you don't know, check it out. It's only the second child, or everyone has a share; the second child is the only one who hooked up with Jinggangshan, or there are others." Flicked his sleeves and left.

Feng Ziying looked at Qin Sangu and said, "Huan'er is going to tell you what to do again?"

"It was probably Cong'er's instructions in the letter." Qin Sangu said, "I'm afraid the princess protects the son, you know the general idea."

Feng Ziying closed her eyes and said, "Cong'er has always used the word 'knowledge to the general body' to ridicule people."

The two of them put aside other things and searched Situ Pan's four sons with all their strength.Not a single one was clean, not even Situ Pan's youngest eight-year-old son.Three of them have already made friends with Ziying's own son.

Qin Sangu looked at the list and said: "Fortunately, the time is mostly short, but it's just a few years."

Feng Ziying snorted: "Short? Fang Xiong's soldiers and horses withdrew from the capital and all came out the next day."

Qin Sangu sighed: "Love has been born for a long time, but now the affection is still a little weaker." Yin said, "No one in Rongguo Mansion will touch it."

Feng Ziying silently handed her a note, which said that Situ Yan played the piano every three to five months in the upper wind of Su's garden, and he played a piece he made himself, and it had been almost four years.Qin Sangu was shocked and looked at him.Feng Ziying said: "It's no wonder that the old man Wan Zhang is able to talk, and his eyesight is farther than others. Four years ago, the prince was idle in the mansion to avoid suspicion, and even the prince dared not go out to meet his friends. He might have guessed it at that moment. The prince is about to rebel."

Qin Sangu shook her head and said: "I only look at things and not people. That girl of the Su family has become so used to Cong'er Huan'er, it's no wonder that she dares to plot that girl not to let them all die!"

Feng Ziying said: "If Su Yatou is willing to do it herself, I am afraid that Yu Ping'er will be hurt by beating a mouse, and no one else can do anything."

Third Aunt Qin scoffed: "He thought he was the prince's son, and everyone around him admired this status. Cong'er once said that the second girl of Xue's family was really well married. The husband's family is simple, there are no sisters-in-law and sister-in-law, even the mother-in-law No, the old man is also getting old, so he can sleep late. Su Yatou is also considered to be his teacher, and she has to run away when she hears the word 'Wangfu' - if you don't have the spirit, please get up early."

Feng Ziying said: "Most extraordinary people have extraordinary wishes. He uses ordinary people to infer extraordinary people, and it's not surprising if he falls."

So he bit the bullet and went to see Situ Pan.Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Situ Pan knew that nothing good happened, so he said calmly, "This is the end of the matter, let's talk about it."

Feng Ziying lowered her head and took out the booklet to read one by one. After the first few were his own son, Situ Pan glanced at him with a smile.Then his face turned blue and white.But Feng Ziying read it for a long time, and when he heard that his son was befriending a general, he couldn't help kicking over the coffee table; Feng Ziying just continued reading.After finally listening, Situ Pan said in a grim voice: "It's better than their Lao Tzu." Because he sent someone to ask Princess Lou's second son when he would return to Beijing.At that moment, the man came back and said that he had received the letter earlier, and he would come back a year ago.So he ordered Feng Ziying to do nothing.Feng Ziying went back and beat her son violently, ordering him not to have any further contact with Situ.

Seeing that it was the end of the new year, Situ Pan also got the letter that his second child had been resting in a Zhuangzi outside the city four or five days ago, so he did not go to Beijing.Seeing that the matter was strange, he asked Feng Ziying.Feng Ziying lowered her head and said, "I'll beat up that brat when I go back that day." Situ Pan snorted, "I'm on the alert" and withdrew and left.

On the 29th of the new year, Situ Yan still didn't see any intention of coming back. The princess was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and asked people to ask more than ten times a day.Situ Pan wanted to leave him alone, but was annoyed by the princess, so he rode out of the city himself and went straight to the Zhuangzi where Situ Yan lived.

When they arrived at the Zhuangzi, all of Situ Yan's subordinates knelt down on the ground in fright, silent as a cicada, and did not dare to speak.Situ Pan asked, "Where is your master?" A young servant pointed to the main house tremblingly.Situ Pan urged the horse to go over.

There were more people in the room, but they also knelt down when they saw him, and bowed their heads in silence.Situ Pan randomly ordered someone to lead the way, and that person got up trembling all over, and led him inside.

Situ Pan frowned as soon as he entered the room.The room is airtight, with several layers of curtains hung, but candlesticks are burning on the desk in broad daylight, and a charcoal basin is burning in the ground. Although lily incense is burned in the copper tripod, there is still a strange smell.The curtains were drawn, Situ Yan was lying on the kang, he was startled for a moment when he saw his father enter the door, then suddenly covered his head with a quilt.Situ Pan couldn't help being a little funny, and walked over to uncover the quilt on his head.Situ Yan immediately covered it again.Situ Pan simply flipped over the quilt on him and took a look: Situ Yan was huddled inside the kang, curled up with his head in his hands, like a ball.

Situ Pan was so angry that he sneered and said, "Why don't you dare to do it?"

Situ Yan remained silent, holding his head and trembling all over.

The more Situ Pan looked at him, the more annoyed he became, so he withdrew and walked out.He took two breaths when he went out, raised his leg and kicked his son's attendant who was kneeling by the door, and kicked the man far away.I only heard loud crying suddenly from the room behind me, heart-piercing.Situ Pan stood and listened for a while, and cursed: "Silver pewter gun head!" He picked up his feet and walked away.

After returning to the mansion, the princess sent someone to ask when the second child would come back.Situ Pan said: "I have been outside the city for many days, but I don't want to go back to Beijing, and I don't know why." After hearing this, the princess asked him to send someone to pick him up.Situ Pan only said that he was not free, and he wanted to pick her up by herself.

A personal entourage beside him said: "I'm afraid the princess will feel distressed when she sees the appearance of the Second Highness."

Situ Pan said: "Let her feel bad. From now on, the second child will just focus on making his mother happy." This remark never avoided people, everyone who should have heard it heard it, and it spread throughout the whole house in the blink of an eye.

Not long after, the concubine drove out of the city, spent half a day in the village, and finally brought Situ Yan back before dark.That night, Situ Pan ordered the other three sons to be taken in front of the hall and beaten with [-] to [-] boards. He was also ordered to be shut up in the courtyard to contemplate their mistakes and not allow the New Year, but Situ Yan was left alone.Everyone in the mansion knew that the Second Highness had really annoyed their lord this time.

In the blink of an eye, it was the third day of the Lunar New Year, and Situ Pan hosted a banquet in the mansion for some important staff and subordinates, but Sangu Qin came late!She only pleaded guilty and said that she had misremembered the time, but Situ Pan was very clear about this person's meticulousness.It's okay to say it in your mouth, but you will inevitably have doubts in your heart.Seeing her winking at Feng Ziying again, I missed her even more.After the banquet was over, everyone gathered together to chat some gossip, and sure enough they saw Feng and Qin going out one after another.Situ Pan hurriedly ordered his first confidant to follow quietly.For a while, the two of them came back one after another, as if nothing happened.

Situ Pan then pretended to urinate, and later asked his confidant to question him.The confidant faltered for a long time.Situ Pan knew that both of them were very good with those two boys from Rongguo Mansion, so he sighed, "But what happened to Jia Huan?"

That confidant shook his head repeatedly: "It has nothing to do with their residence." He hesitated to speak.Situ Pan stared at him.The confidant lowered his head and said, "Master Qin San said that... the person under her just got a letter."

"Ok?"

The confidant lowered his head even more: "Master Qin San opened a restaurant, and today there are a few young masters who have been on good terms with His Highness the Second Highness drinking together, saying... say..."

Situ Pan's heart sank: "Say what?"

"It is said that the Second Highness is amazing. He stabbed a big basket and was discovered by the prince. He hurriedly wanted to find a countermeasure. One young master said that he heard that it was a bitter trick. The other said, no. It looks like a bitter trick, but in fact It's self-defilement. Anyway, the prince won't miss him these few years, he is safer than the other brothers, and he is cheaper to work secretly. Another thing is, the Second Highness is so witty. The one in front...he said..."Then The confidant secretly took a look at Situ Pan, "He said, he learned from the prince. The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows."

Situ Pan casually grabbed a vase and threw it on the ground, causing the tiles to splash.After a while, Nai smiled and said, "I'm a mantis, he's a squirrel."

The next day, he ordered his second son, Situ Yan, to move to a small courtyard on the outskirts of the city to study behind closed doors, and made soldiers guard day and night, not allowing him to step outside the courtyard wall.In fact, the ground is a prison.

The concubine was shocked, it was useless to beg for mercy, it was useless to cry, she was anxious, and asked: "What did you do? He didn't say anything, and the prince didn't say anything! Even if he did something wrong, he is your own son after all. .”

Situ Pan said indifferently: "Your son is very capable. He said he was going to visit the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, but he even pried away my confidantes. If he wasn't my own son, he would have been killed already."

The princess was stunned on the spot but couldn't recover.

A few days later, the princess only said that she wanted to go back to her mother's house, but Situ Pan took a look at her and agreed.The concubine started the car and drove back to Lou's mansion. As soon as she entered the door, she saw her younger brother Lou Gui rushing out of the house.The concubine asked urgently: "You all said it was kept secret, how did the prince know!" Lou Gui let out a long sigh.

The two siblings arrived at the study room and were guarded outside, Lou Gui asked in a low voice: "Does the lord know that my sister is also in charge inside?"

The princess said: "He doesn't know, not even Nie himself."

Lou Gui said: "If you don't keep it together for a few years, you will still have the strength to recover." He shook his head and said, "Second Highness is a little anxious this time. It was fine, but we underestimated Jarvis and Jia Cong. In Jinggangshan The next plan failed, and I tried to persuade him to return to the capital, but he just refused. After all, he is young and energetic." Then he explained the past in detail, and finally said, "Who knew that Wan Zhang is actually a waste, and being assassinated will not be reversed. They caught it." And he couldn't help laughing, "That Jia Cong is really interesting, he put a sign on his head with the word 'hostage' written on it to open the way, and when he met many people, he replaced it with 'adulter'. Wan Zhang is the prince's confidant, we were wary and didn't dare to move again, and because the end of the year was approaching, we left a few people to follow them all the way, and the rest hurried back to Beijing to protect His Royal Highness. The person who met my sister in the suburbs of Beijing .”

The concubine said: "Feng Ziying beat his son, obviously he knows it. He knows it all, how can the prince not know? He didn't check it in the past but he never thought about it. They are young people, how can they be meticulous in doing things? Check it out. It's all clear."

"Thanks to my sister's plan, otherwise the prince will not know what to do." Lou Gui exhaled, and said, "The day before yesterday, I got Feige's letter, Wan Zhang has been released by them, and they haven't reviewed a word, even his face The sticky fake beard and the smeared powder fell off and no one washed his face."

The princess nodded and said: "Lin Hai and Jia Cong are a pair of old foxes and little foxes. Jia Cong knew how to protect himself at a young age. I said many years ago that this Jia Cong had voted for the prince; if he voted for someone else, he would have killed him early. Yeh I did nothing wrong." He sighed again, "Since this is the case, this person will belong to Yue Er in the future. Anyway, he is also my son."

Lou Gui said anxiously: "The son is generous and dull, not the kind of person Jia Cong likes. Bao Buqi will vote for those two."

The princess smiled and said: "He respects Jarvis, and Jarvis's temperament is somewhat similar to that of Yue'er."

Lou Gui sighed: "Mr. Jarvis defeated our [-] infantry and [-] cavalry with the [-] soldiers borrowed from Wang Ziteng. What is more is the real ability, and as Jia Cong's senior brother. How can the prince compare. If there is no Jia Cong, the prince can get Jarvis; with him, it is hard to say."

The concubine thought for a moment and said: "It's okay, it depends on who the prince chooses. Yue'er is the eldest son."

Lou Gui said: "Prince Xianyizhong is also the eldest son." The princess frowned.He asked again, "What happened on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, does my sister know? The bitter plan has already been done, and the prince's anger has disappeared. Why did you suddenly shut the Second Highness out of the city?"

The concubine said: "I've been investigating this matter for several days but I haven't found any clues." After thinking for a while, she said, "There is one suspicious thing, but I don't know if it has anything to do with it."

"What's the matter?"

"Qinsi is late." Wangfei said, "On the third day of junior high school, the prince invited some important staff and subordinates, and she was late. Qinsi's meticulousness is rare among men. How could she be late for such an important occasion? ?”
