The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that Jia Cong and Jia Huan Heizi came out of the tunnel and met a man who couldn't cook noodles in Gong Sanyi's kitchen and asked them for help.Jia Cong volunteered that he knew how to cook noodles, climbed out of the water tank, stood on tiptoe and glanced at the water in the pot, frowned and said, "That's the idea, how do you boil it?"

The man let out an "oh", and clumsily fetched water from another large pot beside him.

Seeing that he had scooped half of the pot, Jia Cong hurriedly said, "Enough!" He stood by the stove looking at the water in awe.Seeing that he was cooking noodles for others, Jia Huan also led Heizi out of the water tank.

Half a day later, when the water boiled, Jia Cong asked, "Where's the noodles?"

The man hurriedly pointed to a bamboo basket in which some dried noodles were thrown.Jia Congyin turned his head and asked, "Brother Huan, are you hungry?"

Jia Huan rubbed his belly: "A little bit."

Jia Cong asked the man again: "How much do you eat?"

He replied, "A bowl."

Jia Cong curled his lips: "Five liang of noodles can fill a bowl, and half liang of noodles can also fill a bowl."

But the man said: "I don't know, as long as you can eat enough."

Jia Amnesty rolled his eyes, muttered, "I can't tell the difference between the four bodies and the five grains", and then asked: "Compared to ordinary men?"

The man thought for a while: "I'm afraid there will be more."

Jia Cong nodded, first filled three bowls of noodle soup, and left a small pot of boiling water for washing his face later, then gave the man the same amount as his roommate in his previous life, and gave himself and Jia Cong Heizi's share, Stirred it with chopsticks for a while, then went to think about the ingredients for the three bowls.It was also the first time in his life that he cooked noodles, and he hesitated for a long time before finishing it.Fortunately, the kitchen was well stocked with all kinds of things.When the noodles were cooked, he took off Gong Sanyi's bamboo drainer and fished them out clumsily, washed them in boiling water, first filled a large bowl for the man, and then filled the bowls for himself and Jia Huan. , and took a plate to leave some for Heizi.The three of them and a dog just stood in the kitchen and ate a meal of dried noodles.Although it is not delicious, it is not too unpalatable anyway.

After eating, Jia Cong threw the bowl away: "I cook the noodles, and you wash the bowl. You have to clean it up before Mr. Gong comes back, otherwise he will scold you."

The man smiled and said, "I don't think Third Master Cong can cook noodles."

Jia Cong rubbed his belly and asked, "Since you know me, what's your name, big brother?"

The man said: "My name is Gong Kun, and Gong San is also my fourth uncle."

Jia Cong's eyes immediately lit up gossip: "What is your grandfather doing?"

Gong Kun said, "Go one."

Jia Cong was immediately discouraged: "It's boring."

Gong Kun glanced at him: "How long does it take to be strong?"

Jia Cong held out three fingers.

Gong Kun narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

Jia Cong said: "A man named 'San Yi' does four things at home. Why isn't he called Si Yi?"

Gong Kun said lazily: "Because he was good at three."

Jia Cong let out a "ha": "I guessed it after hearing what my father said, he is the one who helped the old Nan'an County King suppress the bandits, right?"

Gong Kun nodded.

Jia Cong snorted, "Your family is outrageous."

Gong Kun sighed softly and said: "That matter... Actually, I can't blame my third uncle. At that time, my fourth uncle... something happened, so I couldn't come to Beijing. The imperial decree is not issued sooner or later... There is no one in the clan. I would like to waste all my efforts. My third uncle is also extremely unwilling."

Jia Cong waved his hand: "Forget it, stop talking nonsense. If he doesn't want to, he can not go. Don't you still have a second uncle?"

Gong Kun was a little embarrassed: "Second Uncle... is a bit less capable."

Jia Cong said: "Anyway, if it were me, I would at most use that name to show my talents to the court, and then I would have to find an excuse to tell the truth. At most, I should pay for it with some credit. Otherwise, I will owe others my whole life, how pitiful."

Jia Huan had been listening for a long time, and suddenly asked: "How much does Mr. Gong do?"

Jia Cong held out three fingers.

Gong Kun closed his eyes, and after a while, he stood up without saying a word to wash the dishes and clear the table.After he finished tidying up, he said: "Your family has too many things to do, and fourth uncle called me to help."

Jia Cong laughed twice, and bowed to him: "Thank you, thank you! Our family must have paid a lot of money." He changed the subject and asked, "Brother Gong, there is something I can't understand."

Gong Kun slowly stretched out three fingers: "Brother Gong."

Jia Cong suddenly felt his scalp tingle: "Where are there so many three-persons? The three of us are all three, plus Mr. Gong, third aunt and sister, where are the bosses and second-borns in the world?"

Gong Kun reminded: "I can do three today."

Jia Cong twitched the corners of his mouth: "It doesn't matter how good he is, he is the emperor. Being the emperor has nothing to do with ranking. I said Brother Gong, I don't understand why Mr. Gong wants to help my father, my father is not a big deal people."

Gong Kun said sharply, "Because of you."

Jia Cong was taken aback: "Me? I'm just a six-year-old naughty boy. Is there a six-year-old girl in your family who wants to marry me? Don't, I don't want to be your immediate family member."

Gong Kun snorted: "Don't worry, we don't have a girl as young as you in our family. Besides, there's nothing wrong with being a relative of our family."

Jia Cong said seriously: "Your family has too much power, it's unreasonable. If Mr. Gong's incident happened at this moment, I have a way to overturn the roof of your family's ancestral hall, do you believe it?"

Gong Kun looked at him carefully for a long time after hearing the words, nodded and said: "You are indeed very courageous."

Jia Cong said triumphantly, "I take you as a compliment."

"Aren't you afraid of being slaughtered by my grandfather?"

Jia Cong said: "No. At that time, no one in your family is an official, so you can't provoke me. The people don't fight with the officials, not to mention that our family is the residence of a prince. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, isn't it?"

Gong Kun thought for a while: "That's the reason." Nai rubbed his temples, "You're such a ghost, I really shouldn't eat your bowl of noodles."

Jia Cong said: "The noodles belong to Mr. Gong, not mine. How about you do me a favor and repay the favor for this bowl of noodles?"

Gong Kun glanced at him: "What's the matter?"

Jia Cong said: "I want to punish someone because he offended my friend. But that friend won't allow me to mess around, so I agreed. How about you help me punish him? Then it's not 'me' messing around. "

Gong Kun rolled his eyes to indicate that he was listening.

Jia Cong said: "There are some rumors in the market that Huo Xuan, the prince of Nan'an, is a rabbit master."

Gong Kun frowned: "What kind of trick is this?"

Jia Cong laughed and said, "Is it the only way to beat someone up? Because he is not a rabbit master, so if everyone in the capital insists that he is, he will be so angry that he will scratch the wall. I just want him It's not fun." Then he left without guaranteeing everything.

Gong Kun said: "The rumors are only temporary, and they will disappear soon."

Jia Cong said: "If you pass on the right method, it can be passed on for a long time, and even become true. People in the market have a boring life, but whenever there are trivial rumors about princes and lords, they like to hear and spread them. If something is not good Rumors, they prefer to hear and pass on, to show that those who are high above are also unsatisfactory, or unsatisfactory.”

Gong Kun looked at Jia Cong carefully for a long time.

Jia Congzhong asked him again: "Why did Mr. Gong help my father? He also called you to help."

Gong Kun blinked: "As your father's son, you don't even know, how can I know?" He yawned, "Man, as long as I'm full, I want to sleep." Go outside the kitchen.

Jia Cong glared at him and gritted his teeth.

Jia Huan looked at the window and asked, "Did he have lunch or dinner? Lunch is too late, and dinner is too early."

Jia Cong hummed, "Breakfast."

Jia Huan was taken aback: "Huh?"

Jia Cong said: "He boiled a bowl of noodles by himself, but he never went out to buy something to eat, and he is still waiting to cook a second bowl, which shows that he is extremely lazy. He is so lazy, he must be still asleep when Mr. Gong goes out in the morning. He If you had breakfast in the morning, what did you eat?"

Jia Huan thought for a while: "Early?"

"Mr. Gong won't buy it for him, and his old man doesn't like to prepare snacks at home. If this guy is willing to buy breakfast by himself in the morning, he will definitely be willing to go out to eat more diligently now, so we know he didn't go out in the morning. Yes, if he had already cooked the noodles in the morning, no need to ask, they would be mushy, and he was stubborn and refused to eat them. No matter how lazy a lazy man has been hungry for so long, he would be hungry enough to go shopping. Now Mr. Gong No one cares about him when he's not at home. So he must have slept in and woke up not long ago, just after breakfast."

As soon as the words were finished, a cloth shoe flew in from the kitchen door and hit Jia Cong's fat face with great precision.Fortunately, Heizi jumped up and flew the shoe off his head.

Pian Jiahuan still didn't understand, so he asked again, "Wouldn't it be easier to go shopping and eat than cooking noodles?"

Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "It's troublesome to wash your face, change your clothes, and comb your hair when you go out, okay?"

A second shoe flew in from the outside.

Jia Cong asked loudly, "What do you wear to walk?"

Gong Kun walked in with his socks on, picked up his pair of shoes and put them on, pointed and said, "This one."

From the time he came in to pick up the first shoe, Jia Huan stared at him with the corners of his mouth twisted, until he walked out again as if he was fine.

Jia Huan's eyes followed him, and he burst out laughing only after he had gone out.

Seeing that nothing happened here, the two of them returned from the tunnel in order to familiarize themselves with the path.

Back home at night, Jia Zongte looked for his father and said, "We met Mr. Gong's grandnephew today."

Jia Amnesty said: "Oh, Gong Kun? You said you just arrived in Beijing, and you will come to see me after two days' rest."

Jia Cong said: "Third brother Gong said that his fourth uncle came to our house to hang out because of me."

Jia Amnesty waved his hand and said, "You're such a great idea."

Jia Cong snorted, "Father, you don't have enough confidence."

Jia Amnesty yelled at him again: "Go and play."

Jia Cong sighed: "Father, I sincerely feel that I am not worthy of him bringing in all his nephews and grandchildren. What is he planning? If I am a rare commodity to live in, and the power will be in the hands of the government in the future, I am not so ambitious to be Yan Song." .”

Jia Amnesty turned his head to look at the window: "This is not necessarily the case. If you can't guarantee it, you will have great fortune in the future. You don't know. Mr. Gong is a man of knowledge."

Jia Cong stood still and thought for a long time, and said: "Although I don't know what you two are discussing, father, I suggested to Mr. Gong a few days ago that we should set up a property to avenge others, did he tell you?"

Jia Amnesty said, "I said it."

Jia Cong said: "Since he said there is no rush, then there is no rush. If we really do this business in the future, Brother Yao'er and I will take care of it. Don't leave everything to him."

Jia Amnesty was shocked.After staring at him for a long time, he opened his mouth several times, finally swallowed it down and nodded his head: "That's fine. Yao'er is not young anymore, when he comes back from Jiangnan this time, the two of you will do this, money will be fine. So it is."

Jia Cong suddenly rushed to him and held his arm: "Father, I don't have many ambitions. It's just that although our family looks beautiful, in the end, we are still slaves of saints. If it's okay, it's okay, if one day he turns his face, we have to win." There is a way to retreat. Look at how loyal Uncle Lin is. Didn’t he send him out to take risks? Who dares to say that he doesn’t have this day. Although I am grateful to Mr. Gong for helping us in this way, I dare not tell him the truth .”

Jia Amnesty has long since polished off his rebellion in the past few years. After hearing this, he felt that the usual peace and stability were all fake, so he couldn't help stroking the top of his head. After a long time, he forced a smile and said: "I just wait for you. That’s all for your treasure house.”

Jia Cong suddenly felt as if something was split on the top of his head, and suddenly had a premonition that peace in this life would be rare.

A few days later, a young guest officer in a men's restaurant was drunk and bragged to the young man that he had overwhelmed the prince of Nan'an, and told a lot about what Huo Xuan looked like on the bed, and he also knew that there was a knife mark on his back. It was left during a certain war in a certain year.

Not long after, this matter was spread in the brothel; some people in the restaurant used it as a topic of chatting, and some idlers from the next table came to join in the fun and said that his senior brother was also Huo Xuan's puppet brother, the prince was indeed oppressed, no doubt, He also likes young and strong.For a while, rumors raged.When this matter finally reached Huo Xuan's ears, almost the whole capital had heard about it.

However, it is inconvenient to refute rumors about such things, and the root cause cannot be found, so there is nowhere to vent the anger.Another rumor came out that in order to pretend that he was not the master of the rabbit, the prince of Nan'an was preparing to take in a few new houses as a cover.Sure enough, within two days, Concubine Nan'an made the decision and personally accepted two beautiful maidservants as roommates with him.The idlers in Beijing laughed and clapped their hands and said, "Look what I said?"Is it credible now?The rumors kept coming out one after another, and the more they spread, the more true they became.

When Jia Cong heard about it, he ran to Gong Kun and asked, "How do you know there are knife marks on his back?"

Gong Kun was already helping out at the Yihong Courtyard, and said lazily, "How many of the generals who often go to the battlefield don't have sword marks or arrow wounds on their bodies?"

Jia Cong couldn't help laughing.

Huo Xuan went out to have a banquet with others again, but in all flower houses and restaurants, there were always people whispering, like a light on their backs, and finally couldn't stay in Beijing, so they found an excuse to go back to the camp.Before leaving, I went to look for her at Sangu Qin.Qin Sangu's subordinates all said that she had not returned from a long trip, but he didn't believe it, so he led the people to search everywhere.Because there were so many others and Qin Sangu was not around, everyone could only swallow their anger and scolded his ancestors for eighteen generations behind their backs.

After he left, Jia Cong sighed hypocritically: "Poor Princess Nan'an, she's going to be a widow again." Then he turned around and wrote the gossip in a letter to Yao'er, and specifically told him to tell Sangu Qin.

It's a pity that Sangu Qin never heard that she was on her way back to Beijing on a flying horse.
