The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that a young monk in Kaiyuan Temple suggested that Princess Lu should not be ostentatious in her search for a son. Princess Lu suddenly understood most of it, her chest was surging, and she forced herself to eat her fast as if nothing had happened.When leaving the temple, Princess Lu bowed deeply to the old abbot: "Thank you, Master!" Tears rolled down her eyes.

She led them away.When he was half a mile away from Yuan Temple, he ordered others to search in the next place, bought a set of village girl's clothes in the village, and went back alone despite the obstruction of his confidants.When I got back to the Kaiyuan Temple, I didn't go straight in, but walked around from outside the temple.Therefore, the temple is built on the mountain, and it is difficult to find the road, only the miscellaneous trees and grass.She was born in the general family, and she didn't have many rules. Madam Liu didn't care much about her. She could probably climb walls and trees when she was a child, but she had never climbed a mountain.It's just that I can't control it now.After climbing for more than an hour, they made a detour to the back mountain of Kaiyuan Temple, and Princess Lu's hands and feet were all broken.Because she didn't dare to go in like this, she hid behind the temple until sunset.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Princess Lu quietly went into the temple.When I got to the back door and pushed it, it was a lie, and I was overjoyed.Nai slipped in sideways.The Kaiyuan Temple was huge, Princess Lu took a few deep breaths, and tiptoed towards the brightly lit room.After walking for a while, they found a secluded yard.There was no one in the courtyard when they came during the day, and the monk said that it was for occasional pilgrims to stay overnight.Princess Lu's heart almost jumped into her throat, her whole body trembled for a long time, she held her breath and walked into the courtyard.

Because she didn't know the details, she went around to the back of the house and quietly punctured a piece of window paper.Suddenly there was a loud cry of a baby in the room, Princess Lu was overjoyed, she ran forward and rushed in, ignoring everything else.But I saw three women in the room, two were sitting on the kang, and one was holding a child in his hand.Before a few women understood what was going on, she had already run to the child to have a look - the child was clearly not hers, and was much older than her son, her vision suddenly darkened, and she fell to the ground.The three women had already shouted: "Where did this crazy woman come from!" Immediately, the monks in the temple were alarmed.

Concubine Lu got up from the ground after a long time, she didn't talk to anyone, and walked out in a daze as if she had lost her soul.The abbot then arrived and told the three women that it was a woman who had lost her child in Zuojin village, and he fooled them after saying a few words of Buddha.Princess Lu didn't look at the road, she just turned around at random.Two monks followed her silently without disturbing her.After walking carelessly for half a day, a wall suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her way. Concubine Lu stared blankly at the wall, which was motionless.She is only 17 years old this year, and she married King Lu that day just so that her father could gain the status of a foreign relative.It's a pity that a lot of effort was spent a few days ago to force King Lu to send his eldest son to become a monk. In a blink of an eye, his own son also left him, and the retribution came so quickly.Princess Lu suddenly hissed and laughed like a howling wolf, which startled a resident bird in the back mountain.After laughing for a long time, he burst into tears again.

After crying for an unknown amount of time, she stopped crying and sat in front of the wall in a daze.It was late at night and the dew was heavy, so I couldn't feel the cold.After a long time, the surroundings gradually became brighter, and the two monks were chanting scriptures in unison.Concubine Lu turned her head slowly, and saw a golden light shining through the blue-black mountain shadow.The golden color became thicker and thicker, like a treasure out of a box, taking people's breath away.sunrise.As if she had been reborn, Princess Lu exerted a lot of strength for no reason, got up and offered blessings to the two monks, then turned and left.

After leaving the temple, I walked to the village where I bought the clothes yesterday. Two confidant maids were still waiting here.Princess Lu bathed and changed clothes in the village, and went all the way to the city to find Zhu Tong.This woman didn't hide anything, she just asked the second aunt of the Liu family to see her.Zhu Tong knew that she had a tough temper, and if he wanted to pretend to be stupid and avoid it, he might not be able to, so he had to invite her in.

Princess Lu looked at him and asked directly: "My son is not in Kaiyuan Temple, where is it?"

Zhu Tong was slightly startled, thought for a moment and said: "The subordinates don't know, they only know that they are kept in a safe place."

Princess Lu looked at him and said, "Didn't you come up with the idea?"

"No." Zhu Tong said generously: "The subordinates are good at dealing with government affairs, but not good at making suggestions."

"Is this also called giving advice?" Lu Wangfei sneered, "Coaxing the elderly, bullying women and children, it's just a villain's thinking."

Zhu Tong nodded and said: "What the princess said is very true, the one who came up with the idea is really a villain."

Princess Lu stared at him: "Why don't you stop, sir?"

Zhu Tong said: "It is the general who makes up his mind, and the general is not a gentleman."

Princess Lu closed her eyes, and said silently for a moment: "Please give me some advice, sir, I want to raise my son myself."

Zhu Tong shook his head and said: "What the princess says doesn't count. Since this son is surnamed Situ, he cannot stay with the princess. The general is generous enough to keep his life."

After a long time, Princess Lu said, "Isn't your surname Situ Ke?"

"Yes." Zhu Tong said, "It's just that if you don't have the surname Situ, you won't be able to see the princess."

Princess Lu said: "I can also become a monk. My father wants the status of a relative. Now that my grandson has it, it doesn't matter if I have a daughter or not."

Zhu Tong thought about it: "It's not right now, it will take another year if you don't talk about it."

Princess Lu said with tears in her eyes, "I can't wait to see my baby for a moment!"

Zhu Tong said firmly: "Forbearance." Princess Lu shook her head, tears pouring down like a fountain, sadly and silently.Zhu Tong felt compassionate and said: "Then you have to go. But if you leave the country of Lu, you will lose the Liu family. How will you live? What do you know? Farming, needlework, embroidery, business and work, you have to have some skills You can change clothes and food, right?"

Concubine Lu was stunned and said after a while, "I still have savings."

Zhu Tong said: "It's not easy to raise a child. In addition to food and clothing, if you have a headache and fever, you have to ask a doctor for medicine. In the future, there will be a repair from Mr. Lu. Even if you go to the country of Lu, the King of Lu will take care of you when you study. It can only teach some enlightenment. If the princess can't stand on her own, I'm afraid it will be difficult to raise a child."

Concubine Lu said urgently: "The children of ordinary people generally grow up!"

Zhu Tong said with a wry smile: "Wangfei, do you still remember the Wang brothers under King Lu? Commoner children, the two kings can rob their property and occupy their wives and daughters. With such a face and a young son, once you take off Liu The identity of Dong's daughter can be insulted by ordinary local hooligans. Where is there such a person as the second king?"

Princess Lu was stunned as if she had been hit in the head.After a long time, his eyes lit up: "Is it too late for me to start practicing martial arts?"

Zhu Tong said: "You are Liu Tong's daughter, there is nothing wrong with that."

Princess Lu gave Zhu Tong a deep salute, turned around and left.She didn't go to the palace, so she went straight to Liu's mansion to look for Liu Shu, saying that she felt sad that she couldn't find her son, and wanted to learn martial arts.Liu Shu complied with the trifling matter on the spot, turned around and found a Mrs. Meng who was good at martial arts in the barracks, and asked her to go to Lu Wangfu to teach the princess martial arts.The queen mother was disappointed and cursed: "The mud can't support the wall! After all, she is the daughter of a warrior."

From this day on, Concubine Lu no longer goes out to search temples, nor does she see King Lu, she only learns martial arts from Mrs. Meng in her small courtyard, and walks around the market to check and learn how common people live.Mrs. Meng went back and praised Liu Shu: "Master, this girl is amazing! I have never seen such a hardworking man, talking about women." Liu Shu never put a few girls in his eyes, but he also remembered it. She remembers.

Princess Nalu, who has now been demoted as a side concubine, heard about it, and timidly came to ask for an interview, and said: "Since the son has left the mansion, can the princess show mercy and let my son come back? My mother and son can only live in the side courtyard. "

Princess Lu glanced at her, and said: "You don't know the reason after all. Even if I am willing to let him come back, do you dare to keep him in the mansion? It's better to stay in the temple, it's safer. Now many people outside want to assassinate the prince .” The woman was so frightened that she didn’t dare to mention it any more.

It didn't take long before news of the affairs of Lu State reached Chengtian Mansion, and Jia Cong casually told Jia Amnesty to listen.Jia Meng and Han Quan were also playing in Jia She's house, and Jia Meng asked, "Why are the two sons of King Lu becoming monks?"

Jia Cong said: "King Lu is just Liu Tong's puppet. If Liu Tong is not busy in Dongying, his eldest son would have no chance to become a monk."

"Ah?" Jia Meng didn't quite understand, "Did the eldest son of King Lu become a monk on purpose?"

"No, he was forced to become a monk by the King of Lu, and he saved the child's life by beating him wrongly." Jia Cong said, "If Liu Tong were in the State of Lu, he would have died."

"why?"

Jia Cong looked at Jia Amnesty.Jia Amnesty waved his hand and said, "How old is he? Forget it, you can figure it out."

Jia Congnai said: "Because King Lu is the son-in-law that Liu Tong snatched, Liu Tong doesn't like the sons born to King Lu and other women. He will probably kill the eldest son of King Lu."

Jia Meng was raised by a big family when he was young, and he is only about eight years old now. He still doesn't understand these power struggles, so he stared at his uncle: "He robbed someone to be his son-in-law, why should he kill his son?" ?”

Jia Cong patted his head and sighed, "Forget it, you're still younger."

Jia Meng argued, "I'm not young anymore."

"Well, you've grown up."

Han Quan on the side suddenly asked: "It's just that the youngest son of King Lu also entered the temple? He is always Liu Tong's grandson."

Jia Cong said: "After all, he is also the son of King Lu, and there are eggs under the overturned nest. The children surnamed Situ are very pitiful. Let's not mention this, didn't you two say that you are going to buy Kong Mingsuo? It's okay, I'll take you there." Jia Meng cheered and took Han Quan back to change clothes.Jia Cong said again, "You guys bring good money."

Jia Meng turned around suddenly: "Didn't Third Uncle take it with me?"

"The third uncle is taking you there." Jia Cong said lazily, "Does the third uncle still pay for you? It's not like you don't have money."

Jia Meng puffed up her mouth and said confidently: "Where are the adults, there are children who give money."

Jia Cong glanced at him: "Didn't you grow up?"

"Don't grow up for now."

Jia Cong and Jia Amnesty laughed together: "Is it still possible to do this!"

Jia Meng wrinkled her little nose and dragged Han Quan away.When they arrived in the backyard, they sent Han Quan back to Mrs. Xing. Jia Meng saw that he seemed not in good spirits, and asked, "Why is he listless? Are you uncomfortable?"

Han Quandao: "It's nothing. I just feel that King Lu is so incompetent."

Jia Meng said: "The third uncle said that the emperor's house is a wolf's den, and only one wolf cub can live in a litter, and the rest will die. Lu Wang and Chen Wang are too young to fight other wolves."

Han Quan said in a low voice, "King Lu seems to be doing well."

Jia Meng said: "That's because he has a capable elder sister, otherwise the whole country of Lu would have fallen into the hands of his uncle and grandfather. I heard what my father said. The country of Lu is too small, and sooner or later it will be destroyed by other countries. "

Han Quan sighed, "It's still Ansheng in Chengtian Mansion."

"Isn't it? Quickly change clothes and let's go shopping!" Jia Meng happily pushed him into Mrs. Xing's yard, and then ran back to Wang Xifeng's place.

The other Jia Cong lay on the table and said to Jia She: "Father, when you were young, was there any woman you fell in love with all of a sudden?"

Jia Amnesty turned his head and looked at him: "Are you excited? Your grandmother's filial piety hasn't passed yet."

"No." Jia Cong said, "Zhu Tong suddenly fell in love with a woman whom he had only seen once."

Jia She said: "It's not surprising, isn't Huan'er also moved after seeing Princess Jian'an?"

Jia Cong said: "How old was brother Huan? How old was Zhu Tong? Zhu Tong is already an adult."

"He doesn't have a wife yet. If he likes it, he should marry him." Jia She held up the teacup.

Jia Cong twitched the corners of his mouth: "If it's an ordinary person, it's easy to handle. Liu Tong's daughter, Lu Wangzhengfei."

"Pfft!" Jia She spit out a sip of tea, "It's such a coincidence?" After a while, he asked again, "What do you think?"

Jia Cong yawned and said, "I've never thought that love at first sight is unreliable, but there are real examples. I'm going to tell him to wait a few days, calm down, and then think about what I like about her. If I can find out one, two, three Four things, if you calm down a little longer, you probably won't like her that much. If you don't even know what you like her, think again: Is it possible to treat her son well? If not, Huijian will cut the hair; !" He rubbed the back of his neck, "It's just that the child's surname is Zhu."

Jia She said: "Princess Lu's son is in the temple."

Jia Cong said: "Just now the two children were here, I didn't make it so clear." He then explained the plan of the gourd monk. "He's being raised by the Liu family as Liu Tong's youngest son, so it's not difficult to get it out."

Jia She thought about it: "It should be done as soon as possible. The child is too young now, and few people recognize him. He should be raised outside for a while, and pretend to be Zhu Tong's privately raised son outside."

Jia Cong laughed and said, "It's easy. If he really wants the woman and allows the child, I can make up evidence to prove that the child was raised by the two of them privately, and has nothing to do with King Lu."

"You boy!" Jia Amnesty poked his finger, "There is nothing you dare not think about."

Jia Cong shrugged and said, "The more bloody the plot, the more people will believe it."

Jia She glanced at him and said, "Aren't you afraid that this woman will seduce Zhu Tong away and stand beside her father?"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Dad, you are teasing me. If this woman can't tell who is good to her, Zhu Tong is not a fool. Even if she looks at her, she will not listen to her. Besides, civet cats change The crown prince’s small tricks are of limited use, and Liu Tong still cares too much about fame. Even if the children are changed, it’s just that his son’s surname is changed to Situ, and his grandson’s surname is changed to Liu. Zhu Tong wrote this plan to him for nothing more than to gain trust.”

Jia She thought, "It would be more trustworthy for him to marry his daughter."

Jia Cong winked: "Not only. Although King Lu's power is weak, he still has something. It is also loyal to raise a son for the master. Later, I will make up a good friend and an illegitimate son for Zhu Tong, and make up an orphan of the Zhao family. story." He slammed his head on the desk, "It's such a loyal minister, it's so touching!"

Jia She slapped his forehead with a slap: "You look in the mirror, you have a face full of traitors!"

"Father! Like a father, like a son!"

The grandfather and two looked at each other and smiled.
