The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

After Li Sheng was sent away, Jia Cong had to go to Wang Ziteng's place to get acquainted.Chen Ruijin said: "I have something to go out, I may not come back tonight." Jia Cong blinked.Chen Ruijin thought for a moment, then said, "I will be back tomorrow."

Jia Cong asked cautiously, "Is it troublesome?"

"It's not troublesome." Chen Ruijin said, "It's not a big deal."

Jia Cong was very curious, but she couldn't ask any more questions after saying that, so she had to tell her to "be careful on the road and come back early." Chen Ruijin greeted Mrs. Wang Ziteng first and then went out of the house to pull the horse away.

She went straight out of Guangzhou City, followed Kuai Majun Road to Hong Kong, and went straight back to Gong Sanyi's home.Gong Sanyi and Gong Kun were discussing matters, and they were slightly startled when they heard that Miss Chen came back alone.However, Chen Ruijin went forward to bow to the old man, saying: "The junior finally understands why the old man sent Mrs. Ma to the capital."

Gong San also smiled slightly: "Oh, you understand?"

Chen Ruijin nodded: "Understood. The old man has good means."

Gong San also snorted, "Is Cong'er trying to make trouble for me again?"

Chen Ruijin said: "He hasn't figured it out yet." Then he smiled wryly, "If he wants to figure it out, he may not agree, it's a bit risky after all."

Gong San also said: "Since you understand, don't remind him."

"That's why I didn't tell him."

Gong Kun listened for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "San Shugong Ruijin, what are you talking about?"

Gong San also said indifferently: "Don't worry about it." He asked Chen Ruijin, "You guys know it so soon?"

"Someone from Beijing came to report." Chen Ruijin then told Feng Ziying to ask Li Sheng to go to Guangzhou, and just now told how Jia Cong coaxed him away.

After hearing this, Gong Kun was amazed: "We picked up a rare treasure in Chen Guo back then! She has such a skill. Did you help her, Third Uncle?"

Gong San also showed a hint of complacency on his face, he held the teacup and drank it slowly, "How could I be so meticulous?" Then he asked Chen Ruijin, "You let Cong'er keep Ma Xiangzhu?"

Chen Ruijin nodded: "Jia Cong will send a coded letter to Liu Xiaoqi. There are so many women around the third son of Yan Guo, Feng Ziying will not be able to find out so quickly."

Gong San also said: "I don't want to beat Prince Yan down this time, it's just paving the way."

Chen Ruijin said: "The younger generation admires you very much for your clever calculations and careful planning at every step."

Gong San also snorted: "I'm old, I can't keep up with you young people."

Chen Ruijin said: "Jiang is still old and hot. In fact, you are always good at everything, but the lethality is too great. It doesn't matter what it ends up like if you throw a dynamite bag out. Anyway, you are not afraid of big troubles. The more miserable the enemy is, the better. Jia Cong is only willing to kill those who deserve to be killed, and he is unwilling to bring harm to Chiyu. Don’t blame him, the most people in Chiyu are ordinary people, and he is reluctant to have a population. If you don’t hurry to fill up the overseas continents, in the future There is no chance." Seeing that the old man's tea was gone, he sifted a cup of tea and held it with both hands.

Gong San also coughed twice, looked up at her, took the tea gracefully and ate it.He also said: "There are people going everywhere, what are you afraid of. Dongying is flat."

Chen Ruijin said with a wry smile: "After all, the Westerners arrived first, so you can't be careless." Gong San didn't say a word, just ate tea.After a while, Chen Ruijin said again, "There is one thing, I thought, it would be most appropriate to entrust the old man."

Gong San also narrowed his eyes: "Oh?"

"It's about the Maitreya religion and the way of the heavenly master."

"Didn't Situ Pan order someone to clean up the Maitreya Sect?"

"I'm afraid I can't get rid of the roots." Chen Ruijin said, "Jia Cong's biggest headache is religion. He is reluctant to be cruel, and he is afraid that they will rise up in the chaos. Both Buddhism and Taoism are good, but Maitreya and Tianshi Taoism can't be kept. .And Dashijiao and Nestorianism are what he can't tolerate the most. These two churches have great power, similar to the government, and even collect taxes from believers. Or, you always help him?"

Gong San also snorted, "I'm such an old bone, how can I help?"

Chen Ruijin smiled and said: "As the saying goes, having an old man in a family is like having a treasure, and your old skills are great."

Gong San also said: "Looking back, that brat complained again that I cheated people."

"Don't worry. This is up to you." Chen Ruijin looked at Gong Kun and blinked, "Isn't it, big brother-in-law?"

Gong Kun hurriedly said: "Isn't it? Even the grandpa and grandpa of the Maitreya Sect of the Heavenly Master Dao didn't dare to move, so we just put it aside. We really have no good way to deal with it. Now we have the tokens of their two families , it just works. Third Uncle, do you have any ideas?"

Gong San also thought for a while: "Since there is a token, it is much easier to handle. It is easiest to fight from the top to the bottom." He looked at the two of them again, "Really give it to me?"

Chen Ruijin made a wish: "Please get old."

Gong San also hummed: "Since that's the case, bring the token. Don't care what my old man is doing, it will be wiped out anyway."

Chen Ruijin nodded again and again: "That's the best, thank you sir."

Gong San also snorted again, and put the teacup on the table after finishing his meal.Chen Ruijin poured tea for him again and held it up with both hands.Gong San also had a much more relaxed face, and brought it over for tea.After taking two bites, he looked at Chen Ruijin and said, "You are really good, kid."

Chen Ruijin lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "Mr. Xie's compliment."

On the other end, Wang Ziteng and Wei Ruoheng, two masters who were former generals, were discussing the art of war. Zhen Yinglian led Yuanyuan up to see Mrs. Wang Ziteng.Jia Cong then took Situ Cen out for a stroll.

The entire Taiwan government is newly built, and everywhere is similar to the style of later generations; Lingnan naturally cannot be reformed so thoroughly.The two of them walked for half a day, and found a small restaurant to sit down and have a drink.Situ Cen sighed: "This is the right place. The restaurants in your Dajiala are not like China." After thinking about it, "I don't want to be Western either. I don't know where it looks like."

Jia Cong shrugged and said, "It's more convenient, isn't it?"

Situ Cen squeezed his wine glass and said, "You dragged me out today, is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'll let you visit the city of Guangzhou. I also know that even if the infrastructure of Shu Kingdom is newly built, it can't be like Dajiala. Guangzhou is the best reference. In addition, we will go back in a few days and discuss the establishment of Big banks, issuing banknotes."

"Paper money. I heard Miss Chen mention it at the hypermarket that day."

Jia Cong said "hmm": "Actually, they are more beautifully printed silver notes that cannot be imitated." Slowly talked to him about the use of paper money instead of gold and silver in circulation.When Situ Cen came back from Xiyang, he also saw Western banknotes.Nowadays, the banknotes on the market are all issued by major banks, which have replaced a lot of real money, but it has not become a big trend.Jia Cong intends to build a new "Citigroup Bank" with its headquarters in Hong Kong.That area is a free port, the most unique, more suitable than any other country.Anyway, Shu is rich, so he asked Situ Cen to go back and ask him if Lao Tzu wanted to take a share. "I dare not say anything else, I must have earned a lot of money."

Situ Cen agreed immediately, and then asked seven or eight questions in succession.Jia Congqi asked, "You agreed without first asking?"

Situ Cen said: "You kid never trade at a loss."

Jia Cong chuckled, and said, "I'll teach you how clever you are. No matter how many years pass, your family will always be divided sooner or later. Since the Kingdom of Shu belongs to your elder brother, why don't you take the shares of Citi Bank and protect it?" Your descendants will be rich for 300 years."

Situ Cen glanced at him: "Only 300 years?"

Jia Cong spread his hands: "Do you have the ability to know for 500 years?"

"No." Situ Cen picked up his chopsticks and picked up a few side dishes to eat, and then asked casually, "Wu Guo also has money, so why come to me alone to discuss, leaving Wei Ruoheng aside?"

"Wei Ruoheng is a general, and he's about to go out to fight, so what's the use of telling him." Jia Cong said, "Besides, your overseas colony of the Shu Kingdom is the closest to the Arabian Peninsula, and the Citi Bank is the closest I can think of right now." The long-term investment is the oil in the Middle East.”

"Huh? What?"

"Oil. It's useless now. It will be useful in a hundred years at most. It's in the place you don't like." Jia Cong tilted his head and thought for a while, but couldn't think of a suitable analogy, so he had to say, "I can't explain it." Clear. Regardless of banknotes or oil, you all have something to earn in Shu." Situ Cen looked up at him for a long time, then raised his cup.Jia Cong also raised his glass, the two touched each other and drank it all down in one gulp.

The two of them wandered outside until night.First stepped on two night markets, then wandered through several flower houses, and returned to the Governor's Mansion of Guangdong and Guangxi after the third watch.Fortunately, they didn't go through the main entrance, and quietly didn't disturb others.Jia Cong returned to the guest courtyard and saw that Chen Ruijin was already sitting in the room, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Aren't you going to bed so late?"

Chen Ruijin said: "I just came back not long ago." Pointing to a letter on the desk, "I said it was for you."

"Oh, who wrote it?"

"Master Miaoyu."

Jia Cong was taken aback: "Huh? You didn't short her manuscript fee. Why did you write me a letter?" He picked it up, opened it, and cursed, "It's from his uncle." Chen Ruijin asked what was the matter, and Jia Cong handed the letter to him. she.It turned out that Miao Yuzhi's beauty was being targeted again.The theory is that she has been hidden in the nunnery, and is protected by Prince Teng, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, so she should be quiet anyway.However, it was Wang Ren, the son of Wang Ziteng, who was staring at her this time.

Wang Ziteng has been in the army all year round, so he doesn't have much time to discipline his son. Wang Ren has already become a playboy in Beijing, and his achievements are more than failures.Then when we arrived in Lingnan, Wang Ziteng was even busier.Knowing that this son is not good enough, he chose a useful second son-in-law early on to help him.Nowadays, who doesn't know that the Wang family's uncle is no good?Anyway, his wife is a good one, and she has raised a smart and sensible grandson for Wang Ziteng, and Wang Ziteng doesn't care much about Wang Ren's affairs.

When Miaoyu first arrived in Guangzhou, the idlers who knew the rumors all thought she was raised by Mrs. Bai Lingyi in Hong Kong, although they were curious, they didn't dare to provoke her.Later, when the Bai family collapsed, it was the prince who took care of him. Others only thought that Mr. Wang took over this beautiful aunt.Later, Gong Sanyi seized Hong Kong, and Miaoyu's supply went to Gong Sanyi again.The idlers wondered, what kind of sister-in-law could attract three old men to scramble to protect her?But while eating wine, he asked Wang Ren to inquire about it.

Wang Ren didn't know the origin of this nun.Although he is a dude, he is not reckless at this age.I thought it was a woman raised by another family, and I was afraid of causing trouble, so I never went to see it.Hearing this mentioned recently, he also became interested, so he went to find his mother to inquire.Mrs. Wang Ziteng didn't know either, but only knew that she was "entrusted to take care of her".Wang Ren thought about it, "So, it's not the concubine of my old man and the old man in Hong Kong?" Curious, he ran to Tandu Temple to have a look.

Miaoyu is over [-] years old now, but she has extremely beautiful appearance, and her demeanor is like a person from outside the sky.Wang Ren has been wallowing in the flourishing place of flowers and willows for decades, but has he ever seen such a woman?Nai tentatively entangled him for a few days, and seeing that his father didn't know anything, he became more and more courageous.Miaoyu was concerned about his identity, so she dared not go to Wang Ziteng's place to file a complaint.Because her poems and essays were published and sold by Zhonghua Bookstore in Rongguo Mansion all the year round, she entrusted someone from the bookstore to deliver letters to Jia Cong.But the shopkeeper was too busy and forgot to send it out.Today Jia Cong passed by his bookstore while wandering in Guangzhou City, and led Situ Cen in for a visit.The shopkeeper remembered the letter when he saw him, he didn't dare to take it out on the spot, and after he left, he quietly sent it to Wang Ziteng's mansion.

Jia Cong's impression of Wang Ren has been bad since his previous life.According to Mr. Cao's original work, almost all of their family's blessings were cheated by this heartless uncle.It's nothing to flirt with an uncle like Wang Ren, Jia Cong couldn't use this as a raft to fix him, he was a little worried.

After reading the letter, Chen Ruijin put it back on the case, saying: "Wang Ziteng's biological son, and Lian's second sister-in-law's biological brother."

Jia Cong smiled wryly: "Otherwise, it would have been repaired long ago. This identity is useless if it is not repaired hard. If it is repaired hard, Uncle Wang and Sister Feng will not agree, and I am afraid that Uncle Wang will find out if he beat him around - he knows a lot. There must be scum in the middle."

Chen Ruijin thought for a while and said, "Does he know You Xia?"

"know."

Chen Ruijin frowned: "I shouldn't have told him this."

Jia Cong curled his lips: "There are also many people in Guangdong and Guangxi who need the help of You Xiaer to deal with them. You have to discuss with him, otherwise you may accidentally injure capable officials. Naturally, Wang Ren has immunity. Miaoyu's poems can make money, and besides, there is Mr. Gong face." He said unhappily, "Miaoyu has used the Zhonghua Bookstore as a shield to resist for a while, otherwise he will be more confident. It really doesn't give me face."

"A mere aunt who sells literature, how can Uncle Wang take her seriously?" Chen Ruijin said lightly, "It's not your concubine."

Jia Cong called Qu: "Is it the concubine or Jia Baoyu's concubine, okay? What does it have to do with me?"

Chen Ruijin couldn't help laughing: "Sezi has a knife on his head. Wang Ren has never seen such a woman before, and he won't let her go easily if he succeeds. You still have to be afraid of his father." He said with a half-smile, "If you stab Gong San Yi went to say that maybe the old man would abolish him--he has no strength to use at the moment. Let's see what you do."

Jia Cong clapped the case: "Yes, Mr. Gong is free. Why is she writing to me? Isn't it close and cheap to sue Mr. Gong? It's someone from her uncle's family." He found an envelope and sent Miaoyu I put the letter inside, sealed it again, wrote "Mr. Gong Sanyi's handwriting", and said proudly, "I will send it over in the morning." Seeing Chen Ruijin looking at him and smiling, he asked blankly, " What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing." Chen Ruijin turned and went out.Jia Cong always felt that something was wrong, and followed her into the yard unconsciously.Chen Ruijin looked up at the moon in the treetops, and said with a smile, "It's more comfortable to seek help from an unmarried young master of the government than to seek help from an old man. She may not have any thoughts about you, it's human nature. nature."

Jia Cong was stunned for three seconds, then hurriedly said: "Fortunately, we can get married soon!"
