The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Shi Qiusheng stretched out his right hand to Pan Xigui, Pan Xigui looked at him and then at Jia Cong, and involuntarily stretched out his right hand lightly.But Shi Qiusheng tightly clenched his hand, and held the other hand up: "Welcome, comrade." Pan Xigui was at a loss, and only laughed a few times.

A few people took their seats at the side bench, and Jin Yuanyang took the tea tray over and said, "This place is deserted during the day, but there are many people at night. Many comrades come to study after work."

Pan Xigui couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask what to learn?"

Shi Qiusheng said: "Learn to read characters, learn arithmetic, learn revolutionary theory, and learn Marxist thinking."

Although Pan Xigui didn't understand a single word, seeing Shi Qiusheng's serious face, he couldn't help but nodded.After a while, he asked: "Dare to ask my master..."

Shi Qiusheng said: "Don't call me boss, we are all comrades, you can just call me Comrade Xiaoshi or Comrade."

How dare Pan Xigui call him Xiaoshi?Busy and respectful shouted "comrade".In fact, he didn't know what official title "comrade" was.Shi Qiusheng readily agreed.Pan Xigui said: "Comrade, what kind of shop is this Revolutionary Freemasonry?"

Shi Qiusheng smiled and said: "Our Revolutionary Freemasonry is not a shop, but an organization. There are workers, waiters, laborers, and small craftsmen, all of whom are workers at the bottom of society. We set up this organization to serve What is important is to help each other and help each other, so it is called 'Freemasonry'." As he spoke, he glanced at Jia Cong, and Jia Cong blinked.Shi Qiusheng held his head high and said, "In the future, maybe it will be a bigger cause."

Jia Cong said: "To put it bluntly, it is to unite the people who are powerless. Who doesn't have a difficult time? Whether it is injured or sick, everyone helps each other. Maybe we can pass that level? Whoever is being bullied by local hooligans and masters, we all help him to make a show, and it is cheap to seek justice." He paused, "Every household will not recognize Princess Jian'an."

Pan Xigui came to a sudden: "The villain understands."

Shi Qiusheng said: "Our business has just started, and the next step is to establish a trade union."

Jia Cong said: "It's an organization similar to a chamber of commerce. The chamber of commerce is where the bosses discuss matters together, and the labor union is where the workers and employees work together to discuss matters. The boss bullies the employees, and the wages they pay are too low to make a living. If you are injured while working, you will be fired if you don’t give treatment. The government will not care about such things. After all, there are very few rangers who fly to the sky and escape from the earth, and they only care about things that are harmful to the sky, and they have never seen them care about trivial matters. For thousands of years, workers and guys have gritted their teeth and endured these things. If all the workers in the capital are of one mind, they will be able to seek justice from the boss. No matter how bad it is, they can go on strike, right?"

Pan Xigui couldn't help hesitating: "Isn't that causing trouble with the master? The master is going to the government?"

Jia Cong smiled and picked up the teacup: "When things get serious, the government will only help the people, not the owner. In the eyes of the government, public opinion is much more important than merchants. Someone will check and balance these things. It’s even better for the government if I can’t send my evil slave brother-in-law to rob the merchants of their shops.”

Shi Qiusheng said: "The nobles do evil, and the rangers punish them; the merchants do evil, and the freemasons counter; the common people do evil, and the government investigates and prosecutes them. In this way, the world will be much more peaceful."

Pan Xigui nodded again and again: "Comrade, you have great vision!" But he suddenly remembered that Jia Cong was an aide to the King of Yan. Could it be that this matter was signaled by the prince?Suddenly there was a feeling of becoming an official, and I puffed up my chest.

Seeing that he was adapting well, Jia Cong left.Shi Qiusheng and his wife led Pan Xigui to talk about some internal affairs, and said that his job was to contact comrades everywhere, and his title was "correspondent".They sent a boy to tell the Qi family that Pan Xigui had something to do and had to return late.

In the evening, as expected, more than 20 people came over, all kinds of things, the older ones were more than 50 years old, and the younger ones were only fifteen or sixteen, and they all called "comrade" to each other.They called Shi Qiusheng differently, some called "Comrade Shi", some called "Xiaoshi", some called "Comrade Qiusheng", and some called "Committee Shi".At the second watch, a young man with the appearance of a general came. His name was Ge Qiao, and everyone called him "Political Commissar Ge".This man was very knowledgeable and good at martial arts. Even Shi Qiusheng and the whole Freemasonry respected Political Commissar Ge very much, and Pan Xigui couldn't help admiring him.From then on, Pan Xigui stopped working as a coachman and concentrated on working for the Freemasonry.

In March of that year, Yan Wang Situ Pan worshiped General Gan Lei as Marshal of Zhengbei University. Zhong Wei, Niu Jicheng, Niu Jiye, Wei Ruolan, etc. were all under his command, leading an army of 20 across the sea from Tianjin Port to attack North America.There is news that the other country is being disturbed by the smallpox plague, and the situation is tragic.Before dispatching troops, Niu Jicheng, the second master of the Zhenguo Mansion, married Liu Yunxi, the daughter of the Huizhou prefect.After getting married, Liu Yunxi stayed in the capital temporarily, and the young couple bid farewell to the newlyweds.

Seeing that he was about to swear an oath and set off in the next day, Situ Pan announced Gan Lei into the mansion alone and told him, "Did Feng Ziying tell you about General Cao who piloted Marshal Gan this time?"

"General Cao Xinsheng? I haven't seen him yet." Gan Lei said, "The last general has obtained a thick stack of information brochures from Mr. Feng. Although General Cao is my dynasty, he was a sailor on a Western sea ship. Afterwards, I recruited some Western sailors to become maritime merchants myself, and they have traveled between our coast and the North American colonies of Western countries for many years, and the most familiar waterways are there. There are also two small ports and two camps in North America.”

Situ Pan nodded: "That's right, he was actually a pirate."

Gan Lei laughed and said, "My lord has done a good deed for the common people by recruiting a pirate. Wouldn't it be much safer to travel to and from merchant ships?"

Situ Pan smiled and said: "This battle is really important. It is related to the national destiny of our country for hundreds or even thousands of years. The lonely king weighed it for many days and finally pardoned General Cao's crime."

Gan Lei said: "My lord is wise."

Situ Pan said: "No matter what Cao Xinsheng has done in the past, since he is called 'Xinsheng', he has reformed himself and is like a rebirth. It is a last resort to take him alone for his own use."

Gan Lei said: "With this person leading the way, the 20 troops can reach the other country safely. What he did wrong in the past will also be a crime."

Situ Pan nodded: "It's good that Marshal Gan understands. Don't tell others." Gan Lei stood up and said yes.Situ Pan then shouted, "General Cao, come and meet Marshal Gan."

I saw a man flashing out from behind the screen. He was tall and strong, his face was as black as tung oil, and he clasped his fists to salute Gan Lei: "The last general pays his respects to the commander-in-chief."

Gan Lei suddenly took a deep breath: Although he hadn't seen him for many years, although his appearance had changed a lot, Gan Lei still couldn't recognize him.This man named Cao Xinsheng was Cao Datong, the former general of Tianjin, the first of the four generals who rebelled against the capital, and the master who trapped the emperor's tomb in Xiaoci County and kidnapped the emperor.

Dazed for a long time, Gan Lei's face changed from black to white, and finally he couldn't laugh or laugh. He clasped his fists and said, "I will go abroad thanks to General Cao's guidance. Gan thanked General Cao for the 20 soldiers."

Situ Pan laughed loudly: "You two are in harmony, and you have won half of the battle alone." Then he ordered his servants to bring in wine, and he wanted to have a few drinks with his two beloved generals.It was night and all three of them were drunk.

Jia Cong and the others got the news the next day, looked at each other for a long time, and sighed: "The superiors are not shameless." He added, "It's a pity that most of the people who went back to North America this time were young generals, and they didn't recognize Cao Datong."

Chen Ruijin said: "Maybe they were promoted in recent years, and their official positions were not high before, even if they have seen it before, they don't recognize it now."

At this moment, Jia Cong remembered that there was no one in Wu Guo who was familiar with the sea route to guide the navigation, so he released a pigeon for Wu Guo.After a few days, Wei Ruoheng wrote back: "Wu Guo is not idle in Dongying." He felt relieved and laughed at himself: "Guan Gong is playing big swords in front of the gate." This is for a later story.

On the day when the army set off, the flags were flying and covering the sky and the sun, so it was very majestic.Seeing Jia Cong following Feng Ziying was so cool!The corners of the mouth were pulled apart but could not be closed.Situ Pan stood on the high platform and spoke for a long time, and the soldiers below responded like thunder, but Jia Cong didn't hear a word.He only thought in his heart: It's time to wait!It's not easy. Candidates of later generations no longer need to take the fourth and sixth grades.

After Yan Jun left, Liu Er took over the business from the special envoy of the King of Chu, and went to the Kingdom of Chu to act as a bodyguard for their prince.He also went with a master of S.H.I.E.L.D., who is smarter, proficient in medicine, and can identify various poisons.For the convenience of addressing, this person took a very dishonest pseudonym called Zhang San.

Soon after Liu Er and Zhang San entered the Chu Palace, they understood why the special envoy of the King of Chu wanted them.It was not to guard against the assassins, but to guard against the King of Chu himself.This Chu king is really different from other princes.With a calm temper and no intention of governing, he wished he could travel around the mountains and rivers with his piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings every day.The side concubine he loves, Xiao Shi, is his husband's daughter. The two of them recognize each other when they pee.The other women were also better-looking than Xiao Shi, and some were more talented and knowledgeable than her, and the King of Chu looked down on none of them.At the end of last year, King Chu heard that his concubine had been confirmed, so he almost left the palace by offering sacrifices to his father and grandfather.

Chen Ruijin got the letter and beat the case: "I guessed it!" Nai picked up a pen and wrote a reply to Zhang San in a hurry, Jia Cong looked at it from the side - she wrote a coded letter, I couldn't understand it!

Because the king of Chu was about to marry his concubine, the queen mother saw that he loved the Xiao family so much, so she wanted to find Xiao's idea and make a mistake.There is nothing wrong with Xiao's partial zodiac; and the queen mother also likes Xiao, and she is unwilling to frame her.Nai let out a long sigh, called Xiao Shi over, took her by the hand and said, "My son, the Ai family really can't do anything about it. Your Ai family knows, the prince's thoughts, and your Ai family know your thoughts. But the prince is the lord of the state of Chu. How can he live in peace among the wolves, tigers and leopards in the surroundings? If he can’t live in peace, how can you have peace in life? There’s no peace in the Ai Family, right?”

Xiao closed her eyes and wept, she broke free from the empress dowager's hand and kowtowed: "I understand. I always persuade the prince, but he just doesn't listen."

The queen mother said: "The Ai family knows that you are a good person. Now that the prince's wedding is just around the corner, if he neglects the concubine and offends the concubine's family because of you, I'm afraid the throne will be lost."

Xiao said silently for a moment: "My concubine has been weak since I was young. When I came from Beijing to Chu State in the early years, I suffered some colds along the way, and the root of the disease has not improved for many years. I will get sick every spring. Seeing that the disease has recurred It's gone." Nai coughed twice, "I beg the Empress Dowager to be merciful, let me go to Bodhi Nunnery outside the south gate of the city to raise her for a few months, and return to the palace to serve the prince after her illness recovers."

The queen mother nodded again and again: "My good boy, you are indeed much more sensible than the prince."

Xiao thought for a while and said: "I want to bring more people there so that the prince won't worry about it. It's been difficult in the palace these years, so let's close the courtyard where I live, and it won't be too late to clean it when I return to the palace in the future."

The queen mother shouted with joy: "Thoughtful thinking!" She couldn't help but stepped forward and stroked Xiao's head, and said with tears, "Good boy, good boy! It's hard to understand where you came from! That silly boy from Aijia doesn't know where to go!" The blessings I have cultivated in my life can have you by my side." After closing Xiao's courtyard, even if King Chu wanted to go to her place in a fit of anger, it would be useless to stay there. "What the Ai family couldn't think of, and what he couldn't think of, you have thought of it for our mother and son. Don't worry, the Ai family will never disappoint your filial piety." Xiao kowtowed and thanked.

Two days later, Xiao led the maids and eunuchs in her courtyard to move out of the city to Bodhi Nunnery.The King of Chu was naturally unwilling, and the Queen Mother even lost her temper.Later, Xiao Shi didn't know how to persuade him, although he was sullen and unhappy, he still rode a horse to send her there in person.As soon as Mrs. Xiao left, everyone in the Chu Kingdom, from the Queen Mother to all the loyal veterans, breathed a sigh of relief.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of King Chu's wedding, and all countries sent envoys to celebrate.In the palace of Chu, dragons are danced on the tents, phoenixes are flying on the curtains, gold and silver are shining, jewels are competing for splendor, the incense of lilies is burned on the tripod, and the pistils of Changchun are placed in vases.As soon as the auspicious time arrived, the sound of cars and horses outside the palace and the sound of firecrackers sounded congratulations, and the new princess had already got off the sedan chair; but the palace was in chaos.

The King of Chu was clearly still there just now, he was fully dressed and waiting for the worship hall.Suddenly he raised his head to look at the big western clock, and said, "I'm bored, you all go out." The servants who served did not dare to leave.The king of Chu said angrily, "Can the lonely king grow wings and fly? Get out! Get out!" Nai smashed a vase.Seeing that he was annoyed, everyone didn't dare to disobey their orders, so they had to retreat.After waiting for a long time, a letter came back from outside saying that the new princess is coming to the street in front of the palace, so the prince should prepare quickly.The eunuch patted on the door for a long time, but there was no sound from inside, so he hurriedly opened the door and entered: the auspicious clothes for the wedding were stacked squarely on the desk, but the king of Chu was nowhere to be seen.

The Empress Dowager was in a hurry, and led the people to search inside and out, and suddenly remembered a person: "Where is Xiao Shi?"

The servant returned: "Didn't Niang Niang have been unwell since March and moved out of the palace?"

The queen mother shouted repeatedly: "Go to her place to find it!" Then she shouted again, "Where are the two bodyguards invited from the capital?"

The servant said: "I have never seen it."

"Find it! Find it quickly!"

Where can I find it?The bride entered the wedding hall and waited for half a day without seeing the groom.Someone ran out of the city to get to Bodhi Temple.Because the Xiao family is a treasured family member of the royal family, they only live in the courtyard behind, and the aunt in the nunnery can't usually go there.When I got there, I saw that there was no one there.Man said that the prince and even Xiao's cat are gone.
