The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that the two brothers of the Jia family discussed the snacks for Ms. Zeng Er, but she never delivered them later.Naturally, Jia Cong didn't care. Jia Huan was more or less thinking about it, like the second boot on the roof of a Western story.However, Chen Ruijin knew that this woman must have a plan, and said to Jia Cong, "What if she quietly follows us one day when we leave?"

Jia Cong was taken aback: "Huh? Who?"

"Miss Zeng Er." Chen Ruijin said, "Eight boxes of dim sum and one poem teased Third Master Huan and she didn't show up. If you say that she is only for one year's lovesickness, would you believe it?"

"I don't believe it." Jia Cong shrugged off, "She obviously wants to not marry a cat or a dog casually in the future. You mean, she wants to go with us?"

Chen Ruijin said: "Not necessarily. If I were her, at least I could think of a dozen ways to stick to Mr. Shanghuan, but this is the only way I can't think of for the time being without tearing my face."

Jia Cong shrugged and said, "Then tear your face apart." Then he ignored it.

On the other side, Zhong Heng spent a few days with King Lu, and it went well.Zeng Ting and others all knew that he was a hook, and what really mattered was his uncle, so they all treated him very well, but not very well.And Zhong Wei repeatedly ordered him to stop being a bandit again, and Zhong Heng gradually listened to him after talking too much.It's just that I still feel a little sorry for Shui Rong.

Jia Cong then said to him: "If you really feel embarrassed to leave, just treat it as a favor owed to Shui Rong, and you will have a chance to repay him in the future. Besides, you are not the only one in Shui Rong's hands, and he will continue to do his business without you. Over the years I haven't seen him give you a promotion either. Now that the world is in chaos and there are many opportunities, it's reasonable for you to get a better place and change places. This is called two-way choice." Zhong Heng was silent.Jia Cong thought for a while, and then said, "If he said, Xiao Zhong, in fact, I wanted to transfer you to a certain place last year, but for some reason it failed; Isn't it a coincidence? I was thinking of transferring you somewhere next month! I also wanted to marry my daughter to you! Like that, you'd better not believe it."

Zhong Heng smiled wryly, "I know."

He thought about it for a few more days, and finally asked King Lu for a leave of absence, and went to work elsewhere.King Lu nagged, "Master will come back soon", and he was very reluctant to give up, lest the former Master Du would come back after he left.On the other hand, Zeng Ting's eyes were full of joy, and he pretended nothing happened.It turned out that Jia Cong told him that Zhong Heng was taken away by himself in order to save him from being naughty, so that King Lu had time to go to Nian Zhong Wei to ask him a few times about martial arts.Zhong Heng rode away alone.Zhong Wei never went to see him off, but only told him to "go early and come back early, don't drag your feet". He secretly planned to marry him a wife.On the contrary, Prince Xiaolu sent him out of the city, watching him disappear from a distance with a wronged face.

Jia Cong and others helped Fan Cheng search around for housing, invite teachers, and arrange students to enroll according to their household registration.Many older children are already working hard, and they are unwilling to let them go to school; Fan Cheng even tried to persuade them.Jia Cong said with a smile: "You are an adult, and you should not show your prestige when you should." Then he ordered the people in charge of the work to say that it is okay for anyone with a child of the right age to study not to study, and an extra "self-education tax" will be added. , the tax is quite high.

Fan Cheng hurriedly said: "Absolutely not! How can you increase taxes at will? It will damage the reputation of my lord."

Jia Cong said: "Worriless, just collecting an extra tax is not enough to gain reputation. The princes of various families have increased taxes. Besides, as the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Luzhou is so small, who would pay attention to it?" Do you charge a small tax for ideas? Even if you are careful, you won’t be able to make any waves.” Fan Cheng had nothing to do with him.

Someone came to report that a certain rich family would rather pay more tax money than let his son go to school.It turned out that the son was left behind by the former daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law had been divorced for her affair, and the rich man suspected that he was not of his own kind.Jia Cong then said forget it.Fan Cheng wanted to help the child, but Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "It's hard for an upright official to take care of housework. Master Fan, you don't have so much free time. The most important thing is to ask the child if he is willing to live in the Yangshengtang. If he doesn't want to, then let it go."

Fan Cheng really asked people to ask, that child really wants to go to Yangsheng Tang!It turned out that the rich man treated him very badly, and he was often beaten and injured all over his body. Since his mother was arrested for stealing, he hasn't had enough to eat.Jia Cong asked the boy below to say to the rich man: "Since you are willing to treat him like this, it can be seen that you have found out that this son is not yours. If he is not yours, why raise him?"

Nai ordered someone to set up a household registration for the child and send it to the Yangshengtang.Jia Yunte told him: "Unless you study well and pass the imperial examinations in middle schools and high schools all the way, you will be trampled underfoot by your stepmother's younger brother for the rest of your life."

The child said bitterly: "My mother was wronged!"

Jia Cong said: "there are too many wronged people in the world. There is only one Bao Qingtian who has been dead for hundreds of years. It is useless for you to cry and hate death for nothing. Redress the grievance for the mother personally." The child gritted his teeth and agreed.Fan Cheng wanted to comfort him, but after hearing what Jia Cong said, he sighed and turned to go out.

Things are getting better, and the people of Rongguo Mansion should also go north and south.Jia Cong had already hooked up with Fan Cheng by taking advantage of his busy school these days, Jia Huan had already been pushed aside by him.He didn't think it was enough, so he picked up a pen and slightly changed Chairman Mao's "Congratulations to the Bridegroom" and wrote it on his desk.

Jia Huan caught a glimpse of the phrase "you and I are confidantes in the world", and couldn't help covering his face: "I don't see it! How can there be such a prying staff who wants to be close to the staff."

Jia Cong shook his head and said, "What is the most important thing in the eighteenth century? Talent!" Jia Huan rolled his eyes.

Just at this moment, Chen Ruijin listened attentively, and said with a smile: "Master Huan can rest assured."

"Ok?"

"The second boot fell off."

As soon as the words fell, someone outside said back and forth: "The woman who came to the Lu Palace to deliver snacks a few days ago is here again." Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin laughed at the same time.

Not long after, the daughter-in-law of Miss Zeng Er came in and kowtowed, saying that she was bringing snacks for the master.But she saw that her face was full of worry, and her eyes were swollen from crying.Jia Huan originally wanted to put on a show, but Jia Cong was winking and Chen Ruijin agreed with him, so he felt bored.Nai ordered someone to collect the snacks and reward her with two strings of copper coins.The daughter-in-law hesitated to speak for a while, and then suddenly shed tears.Without accepting the money, he knelt down and kowtowed three times to Jia Huan, then got up and left.It would be better if she didn't play this trick; this kind of trick to lure the enemy has been done by Yihongyuan with all kinds of tricks. Jia Huan was really not interested, so he waved her away and ordered people to put away the two strings Money comes.

Sure enough, the daughter-in-law went to the door and turned back, knelt down to Jia Cong, wiped her tears and said, "Master, our girl is really sick."

Jia Huan looked down at her for a long time, until she couldn't cry.Finally sighed: "I still don't have a chance to say it. You go back and tell him a word."

The daughter-in-law's eyes lit up: "Listen, slave!"

Jia Huan sat down and said solemnly: "Oh." Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin couldn't help laughing at the same time.

The daughter-in-law was startled.After a long time, he sighed with mournful expression: "The third master is so ruthless." Slowly got up and walked out.

Seeing her arrive at the door, Chen Ruijin said leisurely: "Although it is ruthless, it is better than pretending to be affectionate." She froze at the door.

Jia Huan thought for a moment, got up and walked over to her and gave her a deep bow: "Thank you girls. Thanks to her, I finally know what I like about Jian'an." The daughter-in-law turned around immediately.

Jia Huan said seriously: "Back then in Beijing, the government was turbulent, powerful officials were in power, the court was dangerous, and the temptation was great. Her father was missing, her younger brother was young, her mother was incompetent, and her grandfather and uncle were confused. Her own time was not enough. At the age of 12, I was able to figure out a way to get out of danger when no one was reliable and I was surrounded by pig teammates. Relying on others is worse than relying on myself, after all, I don’t like girls who cling to me like vines.” Nai turned to look at Jia Cong, "The jingle you used to recite when you were a child, two trees, how did you recite it?"

Jia Cong rolled his eyes at him: "That's not a jingle, it's a poem in Western style. The name is not two trees, it's an oak tree." Then he said, "If I love you, I will never be like a climbing lingxiaohua. Let me borrow yours. Gao Zhi shows off himself; I must be a kapok next to you, standing with you as a tree. This lady, some men like gentle and virtuous women who regard their husbands as heaven, and some like savage girlfriends who walk side by side. You The second girl is out of luck, my elder brother just doesn't like her. She doesn't have to worry about not being able to get married, after all, there are fewer people like us, and most men in the world still like her like that."

The daughter-in-law shed tears again: "In the deep house, who else can we girls count on besides men? Princess Jian'an is a princess after all, how can we girls compare?"

Chen Ruijin said: "She has the skill to please our men, why not please her own brothers."

Jia Cong said: "I really don't want to be sold by the Zeng family like a pig, and I can hide out! For example, if you become a monk, you can take your hair to practice if you don't want to. Although it is poor, how can you gain if you don't lose? When I was a big Didn’t my elder sister become the concubine and aunt and take charge of the family education? Now King Lu is engaged in compulsory education for all, and only teaches boys. If she wants to, she will set up a girls’ school in the nunnery to teach girls. It seems that the female relatives are free to play around It's really good, it can be recorded in the annals of history." Why didn't Chen Ruijin and Jia Huan know what he was thinking?They all looked at him with a half-smile.He just did not check, and said solemnly, "Children are brought up by their mothers. If all the mothers in Luzhou are well-educated, Luzhou's future is limitless. Don't say anything else, people will never worry about one crop after another. What makes Princess Jian'an better than her is that she only focuses on the shortcomings of her parents, and the princess focuses on Luzhou and the world." Nai clapped his hands and said, "Brother Huan, I think the matter of the girls' school is also very important, how about you Tomorrow, discuss with the princess and ask her to preside over the matter?"

Jia Huan held back a smile and thought for a while: "It makes sense. It's just that it's not convenient for me to see her. I'll talk to my brother-in-law tomorrow."

"It's up to you anyway."

Two days later, they got up and left Luzhou to go north and south.Fan Cheng read the word "Congratulations to the Bridegroom" given by Jia Cong as a parting gift, and he really felt his heart and felt that he was a confidant.However, Princess Jian'an found a letter under the inkstone on the desk, and she didn't know where it came from.The letter was written in a woman's handwriting, and it described in detail how Miss Zeng Er sent snacks these days until "I finally know what I like about Princess Jian'an", like a commentary.

After a few days, Princess Jian'an suggested that some girls' schools should also be built to teach little girls from ordinary families.It's just that the king of Lu often discusses with her on important business affairs, and she is busier than others, so several girls from the Zeng family presided over this matter first.In fact, she knew in her heart that the minds of these cousins ​​had shifted from Jia Huan to Jia Cong.It's just that she didn't bother to pay attention.Anyway, as long as they put their heart into being a girls' school, it doesn't matter what the reason is.

On the other end, Jia Cong rushed back to Taiwan, and before he had time to catch his breath, people from Yuanchun Wu Xiaoxi came to kill him.It turned out that Wan Zhang had sent people to send many ore samples, and the people in the research institute were making a fuss, not knowing which one was the tungsten ore.Jia Cong rushed over without even changing his clothes.In the past, there was no real thing that he could not remember, but now there is a room full of ores, and he recognized scheelite and black tungsten in a short time.So he ordered people to rush to Jiangxi to transport more ore for experiments, and at the same time sent the current ones to the chemical laboratory.

Just thinking about breathing a sigh of relief and going back home to clean up, Wu Xiaoxi casually told him: "Huo Sheng and King Chen came back last month."

"how?!"

Xiaoxi said with a smile: "Return with a full load!"

Jia Cong jumped up with joy, and shouted: "Sure enough, I saw Huo Sheng right!"

"It's just that he and Chen Wang also fell apart."

"what?"

Yuan Chun said: "It's strange if there is no collapse. Huo Sheng's envoy hasn't left yet, you can find out by asking." Then he immediately rushed to see Qiongzhou's envoy.

It turned out that Huo Sheng and Chen Wang had no choice but to cooperate in the first battle, and fell out after breaking the first city.Huo Sheng is a general, and after listening to Jia Cong's "descendants of later generations", he is only thinking of killing people and seizing money; Chen Wang was taught by Liu Dengxi when he urinated, and he wanted to use Huo Sheng's power to bring down Dongying. own use.Furthermore, Huo Sheng now has soldiers, generals and firearms, and he only regards King Chen as his childhood friend; but King Chen secretly has the heart to accept him as a general.Huo Sheng bought a lot of firearms earlier, and the longer the training time, the stronger the firepower, and he fought more smoothly along the way.Immediately after breaking the city, he was busy looting the city lord and wealthy households, and he was not very polite.Although Chen Wang also benefited, seeing Huo Sheng as greedy as a wolf and not saving himself half a bit of face, he felt a little unhappy.I don't want someone under him to report back, saying that Huo Sheng is massacring the city, regardless of whether it is women, children, old or young!In a hurry: "How could it be so cruel!" Hurry to find Huo Sheng to persuade him.Huo Sheng turned a deaf ear and just closed his eyes to kill.The two broke up unhappy.

After fighting for more than a month, someone suddenly sent a letter, saying that another army from the Celestial Dynasty had come to Dongying, and went straight to the capital without going anywhere else.At this moment, their city has been broken, their shogun has been killed, and their teenage emperor has been taken away.Needless to ask, the warehouse of the General's Mansion was probably emptied by them.Asked about the banner, he said it was a "Wei" character, but I don't know which prince it is.Huo Sheng was immediately annoyed!Needless to say, Wei Ruoheng's people.He himself prepared earlier than Wei Ruoheng, and had more soldiers and horses under him than him, how could he be the first to break through the enemy's capital?Where can he put the Huo family's face?Immediately, he turned his anger on King Chen, saying that he was stinging and stinging all the way, "increasing the benevolence of the people, mobilizing the friendship of the people, and showing courtesy to the people", which dragged himself down.The two of them had a big fight and parted ways.Now Huo Sheng has returned to Qiongzhou, and King Chen is still in Dongying.

Jia Cong heard the great joy, so he wrote a letter to Huo Sheng in the posthouse, and sealed it mysteriously, pretending to be dignified, so that the envoy took it back to Qiongzhou.The messenger thought it was an important letter, so he immediately packed his luggage and left.

When Huo Sheng got the letter and opened it, he laughed.There are only four characters on the letter: Take care of him!
