The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that the three aunts Jia Xu and Qin stayed in the capital for a day, discussed a little, and went to Chen State.Anyway, there is no urgent matter now, the two of them walked slowly.

Jia Cong has indeed returned to the capital.Because he didn't want to alarm others, he never went back to his home and lived in the Taiping Escort.Within two days, Jia Xu urgently ordered to tidy up the yard. He thought it was a serious matter, so he invited all of Jia Xichun and Qin Keqing to rush out to help with the arrangement, which was so elegant and generous.On the way back to the mansion, Xichun complained in the carriage that his twenty or so boxes of silver were stupid, which item in the yard was worthless?

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Even if my sister has traveled all over the world, she doesn't know the world's market. If you want to marry a good wife, you must have a house, money, and a heart. Elegance comes second. Otherwise, why should people marry him?"

Xichun said, "Didn't you say that the two of them have a relationship?"

"Shan Youqing can only get a good friend, not a daughter-in-law." Jia Cong shook his head, "Do you know why you want those real money?"

Xichun said casually: "Let that woman know that the man is rich."

"Of course not, that yard is full of wealth, and every brick and tile there is extremely expensive." Jia Cong squinted at her and said, "Fourth sister, what we arranged, such as window screens, antiques, famous swords, etc. It's just foreshadowing, and you can exchange it for silver. In fact, the most important thing is the 24 boxes of stupid silver ingots in the warehouse. It's not silver, it's sincerity. Tell the woman, "I will take care of all my money." '."

Xichun smiled and said, "It makes sense. Who is this person? He is so anxious. You are really generous. Is it worth the money?"

Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "I didn't intend to hide this from my sister. By the time we found out, you had already gone out for a wandering trip." Then he told Jia Xuzhi's history.

Shocked, Xichun couldn't help but chant the Buddha: "The ancestors did such a thing!"

Jia Cong snorted: "How many mistresses don't do this? That's why her old man is scared out of dementia now."

Xichun sighed: "There will be retribution after all."

Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "This is a coincidence, not retribution. If Uncle Wu hadn't happened to be rescued by Liu Dengxi, he wouldn't know where he would be a slave at this moment. Those who are full of evil will have a happy ending. Those who have retribution, There are also those who do not repay their children and grandchildren. God is not so reliable."

Xichun closed her eyes and shook her head.After a while, he asked again: "What did you suddenly go back to the capital for?"

"Although Fifth Uncle doesn't have a pigeon station in Taiwan, there is one in Guangzhou." Jia Cong said with a smile, "So we got a letter in time, saying that they intend to use the hands of the Xie family to pin the blame for Situ Yan's death on King Lu. Gong Yizhi looked at it and immediately said, King Lu can't bear the blame, sooner or later he will push it to other people, and King Chen will be the first one. I thought about it. My court is lazy, and I don't want to take the risk that my predecessors haven't taken. , They will be hesitant to let them go out. Chen Wang is young, proud, has some skills, and is dissatisfied with the status quo. Why don't you take the opportunity to push him and let him be the first person to eat crabs."

Xichun thought for a moment and said, "You want to use Situ Pan's hand to push Chen Wang to go overseas?"

"Yeah." Jia Cong yawned, "He got the benefits first and showed his uncles and brothers, and those people will follow. When they see what it means to have 'hands fast, hands slow', they will scramble for the first. That's right. , how do I remember that you have been to Chen Guo before?"

Xichun said: "He only bought potatoes but not salt. He said that he was too poor at that time, and the country of Chen was not near the sea. I'm afraid he didn't trust our recipe. Now it's probably because he heard that the king of Lu had already made good salt. , I want to buy it again. I am still thinking about whether to sit on the ground and raise the price.”

Jia Cong frowned and said, "Since their Aunt Su Ni is very trusted by Liu Tong, and King Chen can get prescriptions from the state of Lu, why should he ask us to buy them?"

"I don't know, it was Qu Shen who came to see us this time. If they are sincere, let's go and have a look."

A few days later, Chen Wang's uncle Qu Shen left Beijing to return to China, and Xichun Wu You planned to leave again in two days.Just at this time, Li Wan got the news that the Wei family proposed marriage to her cousin Li Qi.

At that time, everyone was discussing in Lixiangyuan, Jia Cong and Xichun shook their heads at the same time.Jia Cong said with emotion: "Wei Ruolan is still not as good as Wei Ruoheng, and it is impossible for Li Qi to live better than Zhen Yinglian."

Xichun snorted, "With such a mother-in-law, how could it be any better?"

Jia Cong said: "Aunt Wei will not treat this daughter-in-law badly. It's just..." He glanced at Wu You, "There are several types of women who want to live well after marriage. Like Miss Li and Sister Xing. Yes, their husband's family married them because they wanted something for their natal family, so they would naturally treat them well. It's just good manners. Like Sister Liu, Big Sister Xue, and our Fifth Aunt," Jia Huan couldn't help laughing.Jia Cong chuckled twice, "Their husbands fell in love with them and tried hard to beg them to be their daughter-in-laws, but they will live a much happier life than Miss Li and Sister Xing. Besides, our second sister is also the same. The former kind. Jia Gao’s two marriages, for the sake of our brothers, her mother’s family must be good to her. However, she gradually made her second brother-in-law fall in love with her, and she became the latter kind.”

Xichun said: "Why do you always say that the only thing a woman depends on in her life is her father and brother?"

Jia Cong said: "Because the second type is extremely rare. Which of the three didn't start their own careers, but happened to meet someone who fell in love with them? Otherwise, like ordinary women, they don't go out of the door and don't go out. How can they meet? Are these husbands and sons-in-law? And the most important thing here is that they are all extremely rare beauties. Give Qin Sangu the face of a woman in the kitchen, no matter how capable she is, our fifth uncle will only be with her If you make a friend, you will definitely not go to such lengths to poach a corner from Situ Pan to marry him back home. Sister, don't think that all the women in the world are so beautiful. Therefore, for most women, father and brother are the most important of."

Xichun also sighed softly, and said, "Do you want to see Wei Ruolan?"

Jia Cong shrugged and said, "Why did you see him? I haven't even seen Situ Pan. What he wants to marry is just a woman from a relative's family. I have hardly seen that woman before." After a while, he curled his lips and said, "Look at her Wei Ruoheng is so self-confident! I don't know if his wife is pregnant with a son at this moment, so I turned around and stopped by to see him. Anyway, I am also a boy of good fortune."

Wu Younai said: "In fact, if you want to get involved with the Rongguo Mansion, Wei Ruolan's friendship with you for so many years is more useful than that daughter of the Li family."

Jia Cong clapped his hands: "Let you talk! After all, he still can't trust himself."

Jia Huan said: "Marriage is an important matter, I'm afraid he can't talk about it."

Jia Cong snorted and said: "A man can't even talk about his own marriage, can I still count on him to decide the battlefield? War is an art, and there is a difference between an artist and a craftsman. Well, leave them alone, let us Still busy." Then Wei Ruolan was left alone.

Two days later, Miss Jia set off for Chen, and Jia Cong left first.After bumping all the way to Chen Guo, the third aunt Jia Xuqin has not arrived yet!Jia Cong let out a long "Hey", "When people talk about love, they don't care about anything." He wandered around Chenzhou with his hands in his hands, and saw that the place was full of people and goods. of.When Hou Xichun came, Jia Cong stabbed Ba La to join her.Xichun went to see Chen Wang first, and then he sold the sun salt recipe.

When she came back, she saw Jia Cong and smiled: "You guessed right, in fact, they have already obtained the prescription from the State of Lu."

Jia Cong hurriedly cheered and said: "Fourth sister knows the details, dare to ask how she sees it?"

Xichun said: "This King Chen only said that he got other people's prescriptions elsewhere, but he inquired about ours being better, so he thought it would be better to buy ours. However, some words are obviously already using our prescriptions to spread salt. In my opinion, he didn’t buy it last time because he heard that the king of Lu had already bought it. There is no shortage of food in the country of Lu, and he didn’t buy a recipe for growing potatoes, so he bought it.”

Jia Congqi said: "Then why did he buy one more prescription? How rich is he?"

Xichun said, "What about him? Anyway, I've already set the price on the ground." Jia Cong and Wu You laughed in unison.

Still had to bargain for some days, so Jia Cong hung out in teahouses and taverns every day, waiting for Chen Wang to come and meet him by chance.Unexpectedly, even after shopping for three or four days, I didn't wait for Chen Wang, but I fell in love with the Hu spicy soup on the street, so I went to drink a bowl when I had nothing to do.One day he went to drink hot pepper soup again, suddenly he felt someone looking at him, he looked around for a while, and there was nothing unusual, so he continued to drink.

After drinking a few copper coins, Jia Cong walked around the city with his arms behind his back contentedly.Suddenly someone grabbed him by the neck from behind and dragged him into an alley.Jia Cong was taken aback, squeezed the western gun in his sleeve, and looked up: a chubby old lady was holding the back of his neck with her left hand, and hurriedly shouted: "Heroine, spare me!"

But seeing a young man slowly walking out beside the fat aunt, Jia Cong took a glance and knew it was a girl.The little boy raised his eyebrows and asked, "What were you doing just now?"

Jia Cong said in a daze, "Take a walk."

"what?"

"It's too full to digest."

The young master sneered and said, "I've seen you acting suspiciously. You looked around in Chenzhou, and you said you were taking a walk to digest food?"

Jia Cong said with a bitter face, "Brother, if you drank three bowls of hot and spicy soup, you'd be too tired to sit still."

The little boy took out a folding fan from his sleeve and pointed at him, "You can see that...he is a rich man, who has never eaten delicacies, and would drink so much street soup for no reason?"

Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "The delicacies of mountains and seas are really delicious, but Hu spicy soup is also delicious! Each has its own taste. You can't say that Concubine Yang Gui is not beautiful because Xi Shi is beautiful."

The young master was stunned: "You...you are talking nonsense!"

"Who are we talking nonsense, brother!" Jia Cong rolled his eyes, "I walked my way, and I didn't provoke anyone, so I was caught by your aunt. Hey, aunt, if you don't let me go, I will Reported to the officer."

The fat aunt immediately smiled, looked at the young master: "Master?"

The young master sneered and said, "You should try to report to the official."

Jia Cong immediately opened his throat and yelled, "Come here - insult -"

The little boy stomped his feet in fright: "Shut up, shut up!"

"Snatching civilian men in broad daylight—"

Seeing that someone was coming this way, the young master said angrily, "Wait!" He waved his hand at the fat aunt, and Jia Cong's neck immediately relaxed.She yelled "you wait" again, and the two ran away in a hurry.

The fat lady was really strong, Jia Cong leaned against the wall and panted for a while, and waved his hands weakly to the few idlers who came over to watch the excitement: "Hello, everyone~~ Whoops!" Get up, "Sister Sangu!"

Qin Sangu said with a dark face, "What are you doing here?"

Jia Cong looked up, and Jia Xu really stood behind her with a smile, and hurriedly said with a flattering smile, "Hey, hey, I have something to do."

Jia Xu said, "This is not a place to speak."

Qin Sangu snorted, turned around and left; Jia Cong followed obediently.The three of them arrived at a small restaurant. Jia Xu was rich, so he packed up the second floor and ordered Xiao Er to bring some drinks and side dishes.

Jia Cong rubbed his stomach and said, "I'm so full. You are viciously trampling on my human rights by eating delicious food in front of a fat man like me."

Qin Sangu still had a dark face: "You dumb-headed young man! Do you know who that woman was just now?"

Jia Cong said casually: "Is it a lady from a Chenzhou official's family? Or is it simply the sister of King Chen? It seems that King Chen doesn't have a girl. Is that his cousin?"

Qin Sangu said: "It's not the little girl, it's the fat one."

"Oh, fat aunt." Jia Cong said, "She has great strength and quick movements, so I think she is good at martial arts. Tsk tsk, look, fat people can also be strong in martial arts."

Jia Xu said, "That fat man's surname is Zhou and his name is Damei. He used to be the chief of the female guards in the palace."

"Eh..." Jia Cong felt a row of croaking crows flying in front of him, "What did you say?"

Jia Xu went on to say: "He is also Chen Ruijin's master. She was ordered by Liu Dengxi to protect Concubine Hui. After the second prince came to the Kingdom of Chen, she followed her. King Yan knew about this person, but he didn't know that she was a master."

Jia Cong only felt the top of his head break out in sweat: "This information is a bit too much, you always let me take it easy..." After a long time, he said, "What's the relationship between her and Zhou Camellia?"

"It doesn't matter, it just so happens that the surname is Zhou."

Jia Cong made a grimace: "So it was a bit dangerous just now. When I was drinking hot pepper soup, I felt someone was looking at me. Is it them or you?"

Jia Xu said, "Neither, there is someone else."

"No way." Jia Cong's mouth drooped, "Chen Zhou with such a big idea is quite complicated."

Third Aunt Qin said: "Restrain yourself too! It's just this one person running around recklessly. The King of Yan sent someone to follow Qu Shen back to the Kingdom of Chen. Just now that person saw you and recognized you. I can't keep the two together. I'm here to test you."

"What's there to test?" Jia Cong pouted, "Have you never seen someone who is full? Who is the other?"

Jia Xu said: "The other is the second daughter of Qu Shen. Her elder sister is married to King Chen."

"That's not right!" Jia Cong said, "Since the people of King Yan recognized me, why did the people of King Chen come to test me?"

Jia Xu said: "He was here alone, and he didn't bring any suitable people with him. Naturally, he told Qu Shen and asked King Chen to send someone out."

"Why did you send a girl here?" Jia Cong scratched his head and said, "I don't like reckless silly girls. Uncle Wu, does that Aunt Zhou know you?"

Jia Xu smiled slightly: "Of course I don't know me. Chen Ruijin only got to know me later."

Qin Sangu watched the two of them for a long time, suddenly felt a little strange, and said after a long time: "You call him fifth uncle, do you know that he is the fifth uncle, and you call him fifth uncle, or is he your fifth uncle?"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you that day? My nephew is very naughty."

Jia Cong rested his cheeks and said, "Hey, this naughty nephew is probably referring to me."

"It's not about you, it can't be about Huaner."

"Fifth Uncle, you can't see your nephew's crystal-clear heart through my occasional cynical appearance..."

"Bah——" Qin Sangu slapped the table, causing Jia Cong to tremble in fright, and jumped over to hide behind Jia Xu: "Oh, she's angry! Anyway, she's angry with you, not me, Fifth Uncle, you old man!" Take care of yourself, nephew, I can't help you anymore!"

Jia Xu glared at him without laughing, and said to Qin Sangu: "I don't want to hide it from you, anyway, we have to meet each other when we come to Chenzhou. Wouldn't it be interesting to meet like this?"

Third Aunt Qin said coldly, "It's boring. What's going on? Make it clear!"

The uncle and nephew looked at each other, and Jia Cong shrank behind Jia Xu: "It's none of my business!"

Jia Xu sighed lightly: "I really don't know where to start." Then he told his childhood experience, only changed "Liu Dengxi" to "SHIELD".Naturally, the focus of the narrative is on Shi Taijun.
