The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Occupying Jarvis's outer study, Jia Cong talked with Wei Ruoheng all night long, talking about social development in later generations.He himself didn't expect that Wei Ruoheng listened very seriously, secretly thankful that the ancients were superstitious.If he hadn't believed that he was in the lower realm of heaven and man, Wei Ruoheng might not have easily accepted these nonsense that didn't appear in the history books.Fortunately, Jia Cong has said it countless times, and he is already a skilled worker.Until dawn, barely finish.Wei Ruoheng sat silent after hearing this.Jia Cong knew that he had to spend some time thinking about it, so he rubbed his eyes, it was time to sleep.

Wei Ruoheng suddenly said: "Your vaccinia prescription came in time that day."

"Ok?"

"Our lord is hesitant at that moment." Wei Ruoheng closed his eyes, "You told him long ago that South America is rich in gold, he has been thinking about it for a long time, and he has made a lot of preparations. But in those few years, Wu Guo was really rich. The world." He sighed softly, "Even if he doesn't go to South America, King Wu is still a wealthy prince."

Jia Cong smirked and said, "People's greed for wealth has no limits, so why is King Wu hesitating?" He raised the teacup casually.

Wei Ruoheng turned his head and looked out the window: "Should I use the money to buy firearms, buy ships, expand the army and fight for more money, or... build a new Wu Palace."

"Cough cough cough..." Jia Cong choked, pointed at him and said, "You did it on purpose! You must say it while I'm drinking tea."

Wei Ruoheng said innocently: "No."

Jia Cong coughed again, waved his hands and said, "He has money, and building a big house is nothing. He can't just be extravagant. Once he goes astray, he can't get it back." Nai thought for a while, "He always Don't think of it for nothing. Who provoked it?"

Wei Ruoheng snorted softly: "A beauty presented by the concubine's brother."

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "Treacherous and troublesome. It's obviously a routine, but someone keeps falling into it. His brother-in-law is nothing more than hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to build the Wu Palace to make a fortune."

Wei Ruoheng said: "I'm afraid it won't be easy for the prince to let go of his thoughts together."

Jia Cong thought for a while: "This is an important matter, we need to find someone to investigate. Find out the root cause, and ask You Xiaer to help Qing Jun."

Wei Ruoheng immediately said: "By the way, have the rangers in the capital come out in the past two years? More and more people in Wu Guo died at the hands of the injustice fighters, and they were so elusive that no trace could be found at all. "

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Isn't it good if we can't find out? If you dare to do evil, most of them don't believe in retribution from the underworld. Don't be afraid of ghosts and gods, you must be afraid of death." There is no way to be fair, so we have to leave it at that.”

Wei Ruoheng squinted his eyes, and said after a while, "You are really capable, even rangers? Where did you get so many experts?"

Jia Cong pointed to the sky: "Money can pass through the mind." Wei Ruoheng frowned and said nothing.Jia Cong explained, "Money is just a thing, there is no distinction between good and bad. It can be used to build a new palace to buy beauties, or it can be used to hire knight-errants to fight for justice. I never think that doing good deeds should not be paid."

Wei Ruoheng was stunned: "There are still people who spend money like this!"

Jia Cong spread his hands: "That's why I don't always have enough money to spend."

Wei Ruoheng wanted to refute but was irrefutable, shook his head and said, "I really don't know what's going on in your mind."

Jia Cong said: "I have an idea of ​​being a mercenary or a bounty hunter. I have had the idea many years ago, but I have never had a chance to think about it." Nai yawned, "My fifth uncle will be back in two days. He researches."

Wei Ruoheng wondered: "You still have fifth uncle? Isn't your father only two brothers?"

Jia Cong said: "How could a man as heroic as my grandfather have only two sons, but my grandmother was so powerful that she killed two of them. Uncle Fifth... Baba was abducted by traffickers and was only found a few years ago .” Wei Ruoheng mocked.Jia Cong shrugged, "Don't underestimate women, the backyard is their battlefield, if you win, you will live or if you lose, you will die." He yawned again, "Look for a guest room to sleep—"

Wei Ruoheng rubbed the back of his head: "I'm not sleepy at all, I just have a headache."

Jia Cong stood up and walked out: "There was too much information last night, you have to spend some time digesting it."

The others had already reached the door, Wei Ruoheng suddenly asked: "If I help you, what benefits can I get?"

Jia Cong stepped over the threshold with one foot, and thought for a while: "Zhen Yinglian doesn't need to bow three times and nine times to Princess Wu, and Yuanyuan doesn't need to kneel and kowtow in front of Prince Wu." After saying that, he took another foot , "As a pioneer in South America, you can also leave a huge fortune for Yuanyuan, allowing him to easily become a capitalist."

Wei Ruoheng heard the sound of his footsteps disappear, sat for a while, but really didn't feel sleepy at all, so he also got up and went out.A young man came over and asked Mr. Wei if he wanted breakfast.The two of them ate a whole night of snacks last night, and now they are not hungry at all.Wei Ruoheng shook his head and asked him where his wife was.The little servant was originally ordered to guard the outer study, so he didn't know, so he hurried inside to inquire.After a while the kid came back and said: "Our wife is in the garden with Mrs. Wei and Young Master Wei." Wei Ruoheng nodded and let him lead the way to the back garden.

When I got there, I saw that Zhen Yinglian was holding a copy of "The Complete Works of Wang Mojie", and Lin Daiyu was teaching it.Seeing him, the two girls said, "Don't bother me."

Yuanyuan ran over and complained: "Father, my mother only cares about studying and doesn't take me to play."

Zhen Yinglian smiled and said: "You came just in time, take Yuanyuan to play for a while, I'm busy."

Lin Daiyu also said: "Yinglian's foundation is very good. But after three to five months, I don't have to worry about being a poet." Wei Ruoheng saw that his daughter-in-law was really happy, and didn't want to disturb her interest, so she called Yuanyuan to go with him. Go to the martial arts arena to play.Lin Daiyu said hurriedly. "I heard from my servant that you had a talk at night by candlelight yesterday. Even if you are energetic now, don't need to exercise a lot." He ordered someone to call Jarvis to come over to accompany the guests.The words she said were a bit vague, Zhen Yinglian didn't realize that her man hadn't slept all night.

For a while Jarvis came to take the father and two away, and the second daughter continued to discuss poetry without mentioning it.When Jia Cong woke up at noon, the Wei family's luggage had already been delivered, and the three of them stayed in the guest courtyard.The Wei family came under the care of the two of them, and they went to Dajiala Hospital and School every day to take a look.

Jia Cong himself was free to accompany Situ Cen, and showed him the municipal infrastructure that Jia Cong had moved from later generations over the years.The two of them had just graduated from an elementary school, and Situ Cen sighed, "Is this learned from Westerners? I really didn't notice it."

"More than that. I learned it from everywhere." Jia Cong said, "I learned everything that is good anyway."

Situ Cen said: "Your school here... only learns to read red sentences in the subject of 'Chinese'? Why don't history books read "Historical Records"?"

Jia Cong said: "I don't take the number one exam, I read some historical records. It's good to know what's going on." Nai looked back at the school gate, "Yesterday Wei Ruoheng also looked at two schools and started to send his children to study. idea."

Situ Cen was surprised: "Wei Ruoheng's son sent to study?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

Situ Cen looked at him a few times: "He is about to go to war, how can his son come to study with you?"

"Why not? The family members definitely can't go there so early, at least two or three years."

"Two or three years?!" Situ Cen looked at him like a fool, "When Wei Ruoheng fights outside, his wife and children must stay in Wu as hostages. You don't even know this?"

"Eh..." Jia Cong opened his mouth.Such things are common sense, but Jia Cong seriously forgot.Nai rubbed his nose in embarrassment and said, "That... I didn't expect this part. Is there a way to deal with it?"

"No." Situ Cen gave him a contemptuous look, "He wants to take away so many troops and firearms, so what if King Wu trusts him? If all the people in your Rongguo Mansion leave the capital, let's see if King Yan believes you."

Jia Cong frowned, pinched his chin and muttered, "It's really difficult. Yuanyuan's study in Wu State is definitely not as rich in knowledge as Da Jiala."

Two days later, Jia Xu returned by ferry from Fujian.Liu Xiaoqi had already returned to the capital last winter; Jia Xu had something to do at hand, so he delayed his return until now.Jia Cong knew that they hadn't seen each other for many days, so he didn't dare to disturb them too much, so he asked his five uncles and aunts to gather for three days before going.Even so, Jia Xu was still full of displeasure.Don't talk about him, just put your face down and don't say a word.Jia Cong leaned in front of him, bowing and flattering.He was used to this trick when he was a kid, so Aunt Lu just didn't see it, and didn't help to say good things, so she went on her own.She hadn't seen her husband for too long, so she didn't go far away, she just read the documents before the big case, and glanced at Jia Xu from time to time.

Jia Xufang raised his head and glanced at his nephew: "If you have something to say."

Jia Cong said twice: "Uncle Wu, how is it in Beijing?"

"It's nothing more than that." Jia Xu said, "King Yan is very happy to have won the face of Qin, Lu, and Chu. He has ordered people from Xining Palace and Ningguo Palace to go to North America." He paused, "Look at yours." Credit."

Jia Cong slammed the case and called Qu: "Why should I look at my achievements! I am not familiar with their house."

Jia Xu said: "If you are of the same family, it doesn't matter what you say." Jia Cong pursed his mouth.After a long while, Jia Xu shook his head again and said, "Master Jia Zhen really knows how to do it, but Ningguo Mansion is so poor."

Jia Cong snorted and said, "Jia Zhen is a beast, so it's not surprising that she would die. Even if King Yan hadn't confiscated their house, he would die of poverty sooner or later." After a while, he said, "But the ancestral hall of Jia's family is in the East Mansion."

"Yes. The Ningguo Mansion has a seal, and the ancestral hall is not guarded for some days."

Jia Cong glanced at him: "What did Uncle Wu do in the ancestral hall?"

"What does the courtyard of the ancestral hall look like, do you remember?"

"Fifth Uncle—" Jia Cong curled his lips, "No matter how confused I am, I won't forget the ancestral hall, okay?"

"There is a nine-dragon gold plaque hanging in front of the ancestral hall, on which are written the four characters 'Xinghui Fubi', which is written by the late emperor."

"Hmm. Can you always get to the point?"

"There is a painting hidden behind the plaque."

"Huh? What painting?"

"The map of accumulating greenery in Nanshan Mountain." Jia Xu said, "The blueprint of the big jade mountain that the old emperor gave me."

"Ah?!" Jia Cong blinked, "You are always so willing to give it to him for nothing?"

"Where can it be?" Jia Xu lazily leaned back in the chair, "It's fake."

Jia Cong was stunned for a moment: "Where did you hire a fake cultural relic master? Is it reliable? Will it be discovered that it is a fake?"

Jia Xu said confidently: "The blind will not notice."

It turned out that ever since he knew the usefulness of Dayushanzi, Gong Kun ordered people to sketch four or five manuscripts, some of which were true and some of them false, and they all hired skilled masters to make old ones.The last time Jia Xu was going to Beijing, Gong Kun sent him all these drawings and said, "Is it safe to use them?" If he pretended to leave, he would just leave him in his house in Xiaohuazhi Lane, which would be regarded as a leisurely move.

After the government of Ningguo seized it, it was found out that they owed a lot of debts, and in the words of later generations, they were insolvent.Jia Huan thought that Jia Yan and his ancestors were brothers after all, so he begged King Yan to make it easier for Rongguo Mansion to buy the things in Ningguo Mansion.He didn't care about the Zhuangzi shop outside.King Yan naturally agreed.

It's just that Jia Rongnai made it carefully.He himself said that he didn't know much, and Feng Ziying didn't believe it all. Before selling the items in Ningguo Mansion to Jia Huan, he led people to search carefully.His people are all masters, and they searched every corner, so they found a sketch behind the plaque left by the grandpa of Jia's ancestral hall.

Yan Wang was overjoyed: "It turns out that the manuscripts are hidden in Ningguo Mansion!" Li ordered people to take the box containing the last emperor's edict.Take a pair of boxes, the mountain is similar, but the characters are different in two places.But those organ holes are located at the characters.Feng Ziying hurriedly asked experts to take a look, and it turned out to be a fake.

Feng Ziying thought about it for several days, but she still couldn't figure it out. Since it was stolen, why did she put a fake one there?Jia Zhenjia Rong was taken to interrogation again, and the two of them had no idea that there was a painting on the back of the plaque!Feng Ziying left them to go to the Rongguo Mansion to talk, and Jia Zheng didn't know anything.Jia Xu didn't tell others about this, so Jia Huan and Jia Lan really didn't know.Feng Ziying did not give up, and took the trouble to ask several old Jia family uncles who were still alive, but none of them knew that there was something hidden behind the plaque in the ancestral hall.Feng Ziying was confused instead.

After hearing this, Jia Cong didn't understand, so he said, "Uncle Wu, why do you give them a fake? Why don't you just give them the truth and end the matter, that would be great. In case Situ Pan keeps thinking about it; now the Supreme Emperor and his illegitimate son also know Well, I don’t know where I am at this moment.”

Jia Xu glanced at him: "I have no experience. Now is not the time to show the real picture, the muddier the water, the better."

Jia Cong bulged his cheeks, and started another topic: "What is it, I want to discuss something with Uncle Wu. Can Wei Ruoheng's son try to stay in Dajiala to study? It would be better to stay with Zhen Yinglian."

Jia Xu immediately said: "It's impossible right now. Wei Ruoheng leads the army to fight, King Wu must keep his wife and children as hostages."

Jia Cong knew there was something going on when he heard it, and hurriedly asked, "When will it be possible?"

Jia Xu shook his head: "It's impossible at any time, unless Wei Ruoheng is rebellious, let's try to save his wife and children from Wu."

The voices of both of them were not low, and Lu Sangu heard it clearly in the room, and said: "It's better for Wei Ruoheng to think about such things. Isn't Cong'er trying to persuade him to join the gang? He kept his wife and children around." Wu Guo also showed his loyalty to King Wu; if he didn't have this kind of thought, he would have his own way to take people away. Don't forget that he is still the king of Taihu Lake, and he made his water bandits pretend to be some green forest bandits from outside to rob people and go away. gone."

Jia Cong groaned, "Fifth Aunt, you are so transparent!" Standing up, he was about to leave, "I'm going to discuss with Wei Ruoheng."

"Stop!" Jia Xu frowned, "How old is the wind? It's rain. I have something important to tell you."
