The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that Mrs. Niu ordered Niu Jizong to divorce his wife, but she never thought that he would refuse.After persuading him for a long time, Niu Jizong didn't listen, but slapped Niu Jizong on the ear.Niu Jizong lowered his head and endured, gritting his teeth and remaining silent.Mrs. Niu was anxious: "When is this! Don't you know what kind of your wife is? It's about the future of the family!"

Niu Jizong said: "Mother, it's useless to divorce my wife. If the two uncles really want to separate, unless they find out the root cause."

Mrs. Niu stumbled and said, "Isn't it because Sanfang doesn't want Brother Ye to support your younger brother?"

Niu Jizong smiled wryly and said: "If that's the case, military exploits and trophies are involved here, what a huge advantage! It shows that they have already figured it out. Could it be that they will give up because of a woman in the back house? Madam, don't forget, Mu's book "Deep House" In "Awakening the World", there are quite a few insinuations about his wife."

Mrs. Niu was furious: "I never touched a finger of her!"

Niu Jizong said: "There are so many people in the world, my wife can't explain them one by one? Even if you explain it, will they believe it?"

Mrs. Niu was annoyed: "Then how do you deal with it?"

Niu Jizong shook his head and said: "If she is a daughter of another family, it's easy to deal with, just say that she steals people; but she has such a family background, we can't deal with it, so we have to bear it for a while and wait for the opportunity. As the saying goes, a gentleman revenges ten times." It's not too late..."

Mrs. Niu said urgently: "Your younger brother will send troops next year! How can you wait for ten years!"

Niu Jizong was silent for a moment, and said: "Cheng'er strives for success, and he will not be inferior to Ye Geer."

Mrs. Niu patted the table and said: "What do you know! They are not the only ones going together, Wei Ruolan is always indispensable, there must be others!" He fell down with a snort, and said after a long while, "Several generals go out at the same time, there must be one The most outstanding; two people working together are better than one.”

Niu Jizong hesitated and said again and again: "Now people are obviously unwilling to join forces, and even if they join forces, they are not willing to give great achievements to Cheng'er. Don't offend him, if he goes to join forces with others..."

Mrs. Niu stopped drinking: "He dares!"

Niu Jizong smiled wryly: "Why wouldn't he dare. Could it be that we have something to do with him?"

Don't you just want to use his mother as a handle?Mrs. Niu suddenly felt powerless.After being stunned for a long time, he suddenly asked, "You like Jiang so much?"

"Not really." Niu Jizong said, "Could it be that if my second aunt asks me to divorce my wife, I will divorce my wife? If she climbs the pole and framed her wife, don't I still recognize my mother? My son is Bachi Standing between heaven and earth, a man talks about such a big matter, even if it is a small matter, he has to decide for himself, and don't let others lead him into the trap."

Mrs. Niu snorted: "I was lured into the trap?"

Niu Jizong bowed his head and said: "It's true. My wife has fallen this time."

Mrs. Niu thought for a long time, if she really divorced Mrs. Jiang, the second room would take Mrs. Mu's book and criticize herself, she might be a little bit embarrassed.Could it be that the son is right?She couldn't help hesitating.After a long time, he sighed, "That's all."

Niu Jizong said softly, "Madam is wise." Then he got up to leave.

When he went outside the yard, Niu Jizong heaved a sigh of relief - he managed to coax his mother over.Even though Mrs. Jiang is bad in every way, she is always good to him.Besides, there is no harm in separating the families in this mansion, and there is no need to support so many people with two and three bedrooms in vain.These years, no matter which house, he has been in charge of the affairs outside the Zhen Guo Mansion, and he is really exhausted.My brother is a promising man, and once he goes out to fight, he won't be able to come back in three to five years. Even if he comes back, he will make great military achievements and build another mansion.By next year, only my family will be left to monopolize the huge Zhen Guo Mansion, wouldn't it be good?After the second room is gone, the garden in the early days when the grandfather was still there can be repaired, the stage behind can also be erected, the filled pond can be dug again, and more flowers and trees can be planted.The area where Sanfang lives now is the Martial Arts Field of Zhen Guo Mansion in the early years.They moved and the place vacated.Re-build a martial arts arena, while the old man's body is still strong, so that he can teach his own sons.In a few years, when my son is successful, I will be able to enjoy the happiness.Niu Jizong couldn't help but raised his hands and hummed a little tune.

Sitting on the kang, Mrs. Niu rethought the conversation between mother and son just now, and suddenly remembered that the first sentence her son said for his daughter-in-law was "we will be friends with each other if we tie our hair together on the pillow mat." Is the poisonous woman obsessed?" How can a mother want her son to be obsessed with his daughter-in-law?Since then, Mrs. Niu Fang Zhengjing has tried her best to deal with Jiang Shi; Jiang Shi's life has been miserable.It's a pity that Prince Dongping never hurt Jiang himself when he dealt with Jiang's mother-in-law's family in order to vent his anger on his daughter; it was her husband who dragged her into the sea of ​​suffering with a casual word of truth.This is for later.

In the blink of an eye, the Chinese New Year is coming, Prince Teng of Guangdong and Guangxi can be regarded as coming to Beijing for the New Year's ceremony, and he really brought a lot of cocoa tea.Talking about the women's relatives, even Situ Pan said yes after eating, and said: "Send a letter to Wang Aiqing, and send some more of these things."

His daughter cheered after hearing this: "Father, is it true?"

Situ Pan looked at her and said with a smile: "Naturally. Even if there are fewer people in the world, the daughter of the lonely king is also indispensable." Several princesses immediately surrounded him to thank him, and Situ Pan felt relieved.

The Palace of the King of Yan held banquets for several days, entertaining all the civil and military officials of the State of Yan.On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Situ Pan suddenly remembered something, called Jia Cong over and asked, "How are Weiss doing these days?"

Jia Cong said: "I'm busy picking up girls, I'm about to get it soon."

"Oh?" Situ Pan narrowed his eyes, "Which family is the girl from?"

"My cousin." Jia Cong snorted, "Brother Yao'er has been looking at Sister Lin for many years, and he didn't dare to say anything until the old year."

"It's her?" Situ Pan thought for a moment: Although Jarvis is also Lin Hai's disciple, his family background is too low, and theoretically he is not worthy of Miss Lin's family.It's just that Ms. Lin is already an old girl at her age, and she is still not comfortable in the house, she likes to dress up as a man and be a military advisor, so she might not be able to find a better husband-in-law than Jarvis.No wonder Jia Si bought a title two years ago, presumably for this purpose.Nai nodded, "That's right." She couldn't help feeling overjoyed: Although Miss Lin is a girl, she is a talent.If she is married to Jarvis, it will be available.

Jia Cong sighed: "My cousin Xinye is not the one who is willing to stay in the backyard. If she marries the son of a high-ranking family, she will not be allowed to run to the military camp."

Situ Pan nodded and said, "When are they going to get married?"

Jia Cong touched his neck: "I don't know if Brother Yao'er has caught up with him. It will be next summer at the earliest."

Situ Pan frowned, and thought for a moment: "Forget it, life-long events are also important. When he gets married, he should return to Beijing. North America is huge, and he will lead an army there."

Jia Cong almost jumped up with joy: "Can you take my cousin to be a military adviser?"

Situ Pan had planned on this in the first place!Seeing him happy, he said sullenly, "Gu Ruo says you can't?"

Jia Cong hurriedly made a bow to him: "Why should the prince stick to men and women? Black cats and white cats are good cats if they catch mice; men and women, those who can win wars are talents. In the past, when Zhuge Liang fought, many of his ideas were his wife. It's from Huang Yueying."

Situ Pan laughed loudly: "That's all. She has talent and learning, and she doesn't mind the hardships in the camp, so she just follows. As long as Jarvis can win the battle, whether she is a wife or a military adviser has nothing to do with this king."

Jia Cong bowed to the ground: "Thank you, my lord! Your lord is wise!" The corners of his mouth couldn't help but keep grinning upwards.Seeing him happy, Situ Pan was also very happy in his heart.Jia Cong suddenly thought of something, "Your Majesty, since there is a big battle going on right now, should we count Zhong Wei who owed favors in Lu Kingdom?"

These years, Situ Pan was used to putting Zhong Wei aside as a casual chess game, and suddenly remembered: "Yes, he is a fierce general."

Jia Cong said: "His nephew is also good. He leads the army under King Lu. Knowing that Zhong Wei is more capable, King Lu once went to Zhong's house to seek talents; Zhong Wei is a real person. He has agreed to the prince, but has been unwilling to agree. King Lu."

Situ Pan knew about this matter, and he could not help nodding his head: "This man believes in his promise. Let's count him in." Nai then asked, "Has Jia Huan ever returned to Beijing?"

Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "I'm spending the New Year with my mother-in-law in the country of Lu, and I see jokes every day."

"What joke?"

Jia Cong winked: "I just sent a letter back a few days ago, and I am very lucky." Nai shook his head and said, "The Zeng family in Luzhou is also a magical family. Why do they expect their daughter to be a concubine so much?"

Situ Pan immediately made a good guess, and said with a smile: "Their family started with their daughter. If Concubine Ning hadn't been favored for a few years, and then gave birth to a son and a daughter, how could it be what it is today. Since I got the benefit once, I naturally hope to get it again." Then he let Jia Cong go back to his seat.

Feng Ziying didn't know what they said, after a while he also remembered that Jia Huan hadn't returned to Beijing, and asked again: "Didn't Brother Huan say you live in the opposite month? Are you still in Lu Country?"

"It's nothing serious." Jia Cong said, "Helping King Lu deal with his mother."

Feng Ziying wondered: "Concubine Ning has a very good temper, why is it so important?"

Jia Cong sighed: "Have a good temper to the extreme, which is more troublesome than a bad temper. And once the old people get used to something, they can never change it." Then he took advantage of the situation and began to complain.

It turns out that Concubine Ning has been used to obeying her natal family for decades, and she can't change anything.King Lu gradually grew into a young boy, and the Zeng family purposely let Zeng Tuo's daughter dangle in front of him.The king of Lu has understood for a long time - the Zeng family can't do without him, and they don't want to be a minister at ease.Due to relatives, King Lu has nothing to do with them for the time being.When he went to pay his respects to Concubine Ning, he would often meet his cousin.His cousin was not unbeautiful, and treated him very well, but King Lu's heart was like a mirror: he was determined not to marry the daughter of the Zeng family.Therefore, it was very annoying and hurt his mood, and his confidants around him advised him to bear it for a while.

After Jia Huan and Princess Jian'an arrived in Luzhou, King Lu's eyes sparkled with joy.The next day, Fan Cheng, an important minister of Luzhou, and Jia Huan went out to revisit their hometown and eat crispy crucian carp. The King of Lu vomited bitterness to his sister for a long time.When Jia Huan came back and listened to his daughter-in-law, he hurriedly said: "This matter must be resolved. I can't bear it. King Lu is only 13 years old, and he endures his life every day. What he endures is not an enemy but a relative. I'm afraid his temper will become weird. , and prone to mental illness.”

Princess Jian'an said: "My mother and concubine's temper is afraid that she won't be able to change it."

Jia Huan thought for a while: "I heard that the women of the Zeng family are not stupid."

Princess Jian'an said: "It's really not stupid."

Jia Huan said, "Is the second child still working as a nun?"

Princess Jian'an nodded and said: "I don't know why she wants to become a monk, but my uncle may. She is the best-looking among the sisters, so my uncle shouldn't let her become a Taoist nun anyway."

Jia Huan said with a smile, "I'm afraid she's still coaxing your uncle at this moment." So Mao Sui recommended this girl to hook up with Zhong Heng, but in fact she took the opportunity to escape from Zeng's mansion.Nai sighed, "It's rare to be able to see clearly in the pile of gold and jade. It's just that Zhong Heng made her very coaxed."

Princess Jian'an couldn't help laughing: "So that's how it is!"

Jia Huan said: "Everyone thinks of themselves. The Zeng family only buys their daughters as goods, but they don't know that people are not goods after all, and people will think about things. How old is the girl Zeng who prepared for King Lu?"

Princess Jian'an sighed, "I'm already sixteen, and I'll be seventeen next year."

Jia Huan clapped her hands: "Great! Can you not be in a hurry at such an old age?"

Princess Jian'an hurriedly asked, "What is the son-in-law's plan?"

Jia Huan laughed and said: "As long as she is convinced that she can't marry King Lu no matter what, she will find a way to get away."

Princess Jian'an thought for a while: "This is not difficult."

The next day, the fifth daughter of the Zeng family went to pay her respects to Concubine Ning as usual, but she turned out of the Moon Cave Gate and happened to be in front of her were the backs of two servant girls.Although she had been away for a few days, she still recognized the dowry that Princess Jian'an brought to Beijing.Just as he was hesitating whether to call them to say hello, one of them said: "What does the princess want to say to the concubine? Seriously, I have never seen her face so hard." The other said: "I think it has something to do with the prince. The important matter has nothing to do with our servants anyway." Miss Zeng Wu's heart moved, and her steps slowed down.

When the two servant girls entered Concubine Ning's courtyard, she stood at the door for half a day before entering.Sure enough, the yard was full of servants, presumably the mother and daughter were talking about themselves.Miss Zeng Wu went into the hall to greet her. Princess Jian'an and Concubine Ning both looked at her for a while, and then talked as if nothing happened.Miss Zeng Wu clearly saw a bit of regret in Princess Jian'an's eyes.After a while, she took the opportunity of making tea and withdrew.She was more familiar with Concubine Ning's yard than others, she made a detour and slipped behind, and slipped in through the side door of the next wing.There is a door in the wing room leading to the main hall, and Miss Zeng Wu stood by the door to eavesdrop.

But listened to Princess Jian'an's persuasion: "The fifth girl is really good-looking; the sixth girl is small, but she already has a baby, so what's the difference? Could it be that the sixth girl is not filial to the mother and concubine? The imperial doctor said that the man was married before. The life expectancy is ten years shorter than those who get married after the age of 20. How old is our prince? Five or seven years later, the five daughters will be over 20. Is it impossible for the prince to marry an old mother? It's only nine years younger than the prince." Miss Zeng Wu felt as if a thunderbolt hit her head, and she was stunned.

Concubine Ning hesitated and said: "Just wait until your younger brother is 20 years old, and the sixth girl has not grown up yet." The hope of the eavesdropping person rose again.

Princess Jian'an said: "It's good to have a few side concubines and concubines first. There are so many beauties in Luzhou since ancient times, why are you afraid that you won't be able to find a beautiful girl? The main concubine is reserved for the sixth girl."

After a long while, Concubine Ning said, "Your uncle and grandfather may not agree." Miss Zeng Wu followed her mother and daughter up and down with her heart, like a bucket on a well wheel. generally.

"I can't let my brother's life be risked." Princess Jian'an said, "If they don't agree, they will procrastinate. My brother can afford it, but five girls can't afford it. Let's wait for five years, and uncle and grandfather will see the two of them Looking at the age of Liu Yatou, I naturally agreed. Anyway, the concubine is still surnamed Zeng, and both of them are concubines, and there is no distinction between high and low status. It is easier to talk about temperament. Well, there is no time to educate her anyway. If there is nothing wrong with the concubine mother, it is fine to educate her personally."

After another long silence, Concubine Ning sighed: "That's the only way to go." Miss Zeng Wu's eyes went dark, and she held onto the door frame tightly to avoid falling.

The woman fell ill when she returned home.After hearing the news, Princess Jian'an hurriedly sent someone to visit her and let her live in peace.When Jia Huan heard this, he casually asked his daughter-in-law what method she had used; Princess Jian'an said with a smile, "It's a plan to slow down the army."

Jia Huan said: "Put it on Miss Six? Isn't that treating the symptoms but not the root cause?"

Princess Jian'an said: "My younger brother was 16 when Liu Yatou was 25. Why is he still under the control of the Zeng family at that age?"

Jia Huan nodded again and again: "It makes sense."
