The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Feng Ziying is a smart person.After following Jia Cong around for a while, he realized that this little brother might not be able to stop him.And what he said is very true, even if his family doesn't join the gang at this moment, it's good to leave a way out.Then he made up his mind.The two of them went back to Jia Cong's outer study and sat down. They had tea, snacks and chatted for a while as normal people. Feng Ziying then asked Qin Sangu what her husband was like.Jia Cong waved a finger in the air: "Jin, Yi, Wei!"

Feng Ziying took a deep breath and murmured, "No wonder you killed King Yan's son."

Jia Cong asked, "Who does Jin Yiwei belong to? At first I thought it was under your control."

Feng Ziying said: "Until the late Emperor passed away, Jin Yiwei was in his palm. Liu Dengxi helped the Supreme Emperor get some people there, but not many. Then they dispersed because the world had no master. From the beginning to the end, they were never in the hands of King Yan. .”

Jia Cong rubbed his chin: "But the dossier in Jinyiwei is in your hands."

Feng Ziying said: "Most of them are in my hands, and some confidential files have been destroyed..." He glanced at Jia Cong, "Is it not destroyed? In the hands of Master Jia Wu?"

"I don't know." Jia Cong said, "I haven't asked about that. Uncle Wu is there anyway."

"That's why you trust your fifth uncle?"

Jia Cong took a sip of tea with a smile: "I believe in Uncle Wu. Brother Feng, let me tell you a gossip. When do you think Sangu and sister are willing to marry my Uncle Wu from the bottom of their hearts?"

"When?"

"When Uncle Wu took her to our ancestral grave in Jinling to pay homage to my grandfather." Jia Cong said, "In a lifetime, there must be a few people who you really trust. Otherwise, you won't be able to accomplish great things."

Feng Ziying said: "After the big event is done, will it change?"

"Someone's trust is happiness. In order not to lose this kind of happiness, the sad ending of 'changing one's mind after a major event is done' must be eliminated from the system." Jia Cong raised the teacup, "Brother Feng must not be in a hurry to leave, stay Take a look. Even the air is free with us."

Feng Ziying thought for a moment: "I want to meet your fifth uncle."

Jia Cong said: "The theory says that we should come to see you. It's better to wait for the third aunt to come back and let her receive you as the hostess. After all, you two have a lot of friendship for many years. I will invite you tomorrow. Uncle, come over? Or make an appointment for the two of you to meet in a teahouse or restaurant?"

Feng Ziying said, "Let's meet outside." Jia Cong nodded.Feng Ziying flicked the tea cup in her hand with her fingers, "Who killed Concubine Hui?"

"Me." Jia Cong said, "At that time, the female guards followed her with Zhou Damei as the capital. If she doesn't die, these female guards will not be easy to disperse." Feng Ziying didn't understand.Jia Cong explained, "As the saying goes, the monkeys scatter when the tree falls. As long as Concubine Hui is alive, it will take too much effort to let the female guards of Chen Guo leave her to find a way out for herself. Once she dies, she will trick Zhou Damei to go to Java to find her sister. The female guards dismissed easily."

"Why are you so afraid of female guards?"

Jia Cong propped his chin and said leisurely: "It's not jealousy, it's resistance and disgust. I think people should have the right to choose. Ouchi guards, regardless of gender, have no right to choose. From a very young age, they were trapped in the palace like animals. They are trained and grown up like robots, living and dying for others, and insults should also be regarded as gifts. The slaves of ordinary people still have some personalities, not to mention personalities, and they are not even allowed to have preferences. Humans should be a kind of extremely A creative creature. Otherwise, how can we invent steam engines and wireless transmitters? You don’t even know how hard it took me to coax my daughter-in-law into a normal woman.”

Feng Ziying looked at him strangely for a long time, and said, "You and Jia Baoyu are indeed brothers."

"Huh? Jia Lian and I are brothers, thank you."

Feng Ziying shook her head: "Not the same. You are not the same as Jia Lian, but the same as Jia Baoyu. It's just that you are more capable than him."

Jia Cong pursed his lower lips: "I know Brother Baoyu also has a simple concept of equality... Otherwise, how could he touch the hearts of young girls for hundreds of years. I'm not good at all. He really respects every beautiful woman herself. No. I want every talent to exert their maximum ability to promote the development of the times, so that our family can expand quickly—because we are already far behind, we must run to catch up with the Westerners. Talents with high military value are piled up in the palace It is a great waste to protect the emperor's family. In short, brother Baoyu is not utilitarian, but I have a purpose."

Feng Ziying sighed softly, thinking over what he said just now, and suddenly realized that she had missed something important: "You said, 'trick Zhou Damei to go to Java to find her sister'?"

"Ah."

"Could it be Zhou Xiaolan, the king of Java?"

"My sister."

Feng Ziying took the case: "Zhou Xiaolan is also a female guard?"

"That's right! When King Chen took her from Qiongzhou to fight against Dongying, there was no woman around to take her into the house. Ruijin and I took the opportunity to persuade her to leave." Jia Cong said proudly, "If it weren't for the two of us Chai Huo, maybe she will accept her fate and become Wang Chen's concubine, we don't even have any cocoa tea to eat now!"

Feng Ziying raised her eyes and looked at him for a long time: "Then... is there anything wrong with you in the Ouchiliu family?"

"I was also the one who persuaded them to leave. Their family had always lived in the palace. I played tricks with the old man of the Liu family twice, coaxing him into believing that there is no longer their master in the Forbidden City. They have to deal with others when they go outside, don't they? Take your time." Contaminated with the smell of fireworks, I also understand that to protect the safety of others, I should charge bodyguard fees, and if I am not happy, I can resign and leave. I heard that they are also dispersed now. It’s like a bird that has eaten all its food and fell into the forest, leaving a piece of white land. It’s so clean!”

Feng Ziying couldn't help rolling her eyes: "Clean? So many masters suddenly lost their engine control, so they can't make a mess? No wonder there are so many rangers in Beijing."

"Oh, they!" Jia Cong touched his chin. "It's really possible." Feng Ziying gave him a sideways look.

That night, Jia Cong went to Jia Xu's place for a stroll.The next day, Feng Ziying and Jia Xu, the two chief spies, met at the Han and Tang restaurants in the north of Dajiala City.

This Han and Tang restaurant has three floors, and the top floor is actually three large octagonal pavilions connected by short corridors.When Feng Ziying arrived, Jia Xu was already waiting.He only took one look at this person and knew why that Shi Taijun insisted on getting him out of Rongguo Mansion.The old people said that Jia Baoyu looked like his grandfather, but Jia Baoyu was a white-faced scholar, and his demeanor was far from that of Jia Daishan, a warrior on the battlefield.Feng Ziying met Jia Daishan when she was young, and it happened to be Jia Xu's age—the two really look alike!Jia Xu stood up and clasped his fists with a smile: "Lord Feng, I have admired your name for a long time." Feng Ziying returned the salute, and the two sat as host and guest.

Feng Ziying said: "Master Jia Wu may have tricked me a lot."

Jia Xu didn't deny it at all, and said with a smile: "The incident happened helplessly. Mr. Feng is also a person, what should we do if we find out."

Feng Ziying snorted, "Fifth Master is too modest. Since the previous dynasty, only Jin Yiwei has checked other people's, how can anyone else check Jin Yiwei."

Jia Xudao: "Hedong in 30 years and Hexi in 30 years. The Jinyiwei has long been empty, and now Mr. Feng is just like the Jinyiwei back then."

Feng Ziying shook her head.After a while, Nai asked, "How did you coax the shopkeeper Qin San?"

Jia Xu pursed the corners of his mouth: "Why coaxing? Is it okay to chase after him? I racked my brains to pick out a little pickle. It's not easy to marry a wife." His expression and tone were very similar to Jia Cong.

Feng Ziying was startled, and sighed for a long time: "She is also a hard-fought person. The fifth master treats her well."

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Master Feng is wrong, she must treat me well. I am usually the one who gets bullied."

Feng Ziying knew that this person must be an old fox, and he was dubious about what he said, but this sentence was so true, it seemed to be the truth, she nodded secretly in her heart.He asked again: "Many files are missing from the Jinyiwei yamen, all of which are very important. But in the hands of the fifth master?"

"Some of them are in my hands, and a lot of them were destroyed by the turmoil. Master Feng, do you want to check something?"

"Come in handy."

"I entrusted a middleman in Beijing, Master Feng can contact him."

Feng Ziying said with a smile: "The fifth master is not afraid that I will catch your people?"

Jia Xu took a sip of his wine and said slowly: "If Mr. Feng was a pedantic person, he would not have changed to King Yan back then; besides, he is not my person, but just a middleman. If you arrest him, you can arrest him. I Have you ever caught someone like that before?"

Feng Ziying nodded: "That's true." After a pause, "Fifth Master, do you think that Cong'er's temperament is not suitable for being the master?"

Jia Xu couldn't help laughing: "This is not the first person to bring this up. He is really not suitable to be a leader, and he is not a leader. He is a leader. The leader is most afraid that someone under him will be stronger than him, and the leader wishes his own people to be stronger than him." You, Brother Feng, just rest assured, Cong'er is underestimated by you, and you know his temperament better than I do. If you still hesitate, why don't you wait for Sangu to come back? You will understand after just looking at her." Feng Ziying nodded slightly.Jia Xu smiled and said, "If I need to ask Mr. Feng for help, can I go to Mr. Feng? I will pay you for the service."

Feng Ziying didn't expect to be in such a hurry to discuss a partnership with him, but she was stunned when she heard the word "labor fee".But Jia Xu didn't look like he was joking. "The fifth master is serious?"

"Seriously." Jia Xu said seriously, "It's not rude to come and go. In fact, there is no conflict between our two families, and we can cooperate." Feng Ziying looked at him for a long time, and Jia Xu drank indifferently.

Feng Ziying then stayed in Dajiala and went out every day to have a look.Once Chen Ruijin went to Dajiala Armed Police School to be a teaching instructor, and Feng Ziying went to see it.When the students roared and punched, suddenly a string of firecrackers sounded from outside the opposite teaching building.Everyone turned their eyes to look, but they saw six large characters written on a row of bright glass windows on the third floor: Chen Ruijin, I love you.The students burst into laughter.

Feng Ziying wondered: "How did he write it? Did he write it backwards?"

Chen Ruijin glanced at the window with a smile: "The writing is so ugly, isn't it written backward inside?"

"He's interesting. You don't think he's flamboyant?"

"It's a bit disgusting. He comes here from time to time, and I'm used to it after watching too much." Chen Ruijin said, "Nowadays young people love to imitate him, and they express love everywhere. Jia Cong said that only by letting go of your heart can you Open your mind. Their generation will definitely produce many inventors." Feng Ziying thought for a while and said nothing.

After living in this way for a month or so, those who went to Guangxi to inspect the steam mining machines came back.Jia Lian and Jia Cong personally led some people to the Zodiac Square to welcome them, and Feng Ziying was among them.The first one to get off the carriage was Lu Sangu.Feng Ziying immediately understood what Jia Xu said, "It's easy to understand after just looking at her."Where is the shopkeeper Qin San in the west of the city?More magnanimous than court officials.Huo Sheng, king of Nan'an County, got off the carriage at the back.Although his face is covered with wind and frost, he is full of spirit.It is water-soluble, although white and fat, there is a slight sadness between the brows and eyes.That Javanese heroine, Zhou Xiaolan, was actually murderous.About an hour and a half later, Sangu Lv had changed into the clothes she usually wears as a visitor, and came to Jia's Guest House to invite Feng Ziying over to the house.

Feng Ziying was startled when she entered the gate of their house. She never thought that this old friend's house looked like this.In the early years, although Sangu Qin was rich, her food and clothing expenses were extremely simple, and even the newly made clothes were all plain—after all, she was a little widow.Now the layout of this house is exquisite and extravagant.There are not many gold and jade, but there are many antiques, and there are various foreign antiques.Lü Sangu herself was not stingy with luxury in her attire, which was even better than that of the empresses in the palace.

Feng Ziying wondered: "Why...you like this after being married?"

Lu Sangu said: "There is no woman who doesn't like to dress up. You can't be presumptuous in Beijing. If I dare to wear it like this, the shopkeeper below must follow the extravagance. I didn't earn the money for myself, don't I have to confess it? Yes, even a widow is afraid of gossip."

Feng Ziying nodded, and followed her around inside and out, only to find that there were more rare things—Jia Cong led him to visit the research institute and didn't see everything, and there were many for daily use.For example, with a foot-operated sewing machine, women can save a lot of effort in making clothes.There is also a small charcoal sharpener, and even a charcoal pencil is easier to use than a brush.Feng Ziying sighed: "Cong'er really only wants to save manpower."

"It not only saves manpower, it is really convenient in daily life." Lu Sangu said, "There are many more convenient things." Pointing to a Western painting on the wall, he said, "That was painted by the Western inventor Leonardo da Vinci. This man is a masterpiece A genius, Cong Er ordered people to go to the West to collect his invention blueprints, and sent them to the research institute for our people to study. The bicycles running all over the street are modified according to his blueprints."

Feng Ziying said: "Since you are a peerless genius, why don't you invite them? Didn't you invite many Westerners to work?"

Lu Sangu laughed: "It's been almost 300 years since I died!" Feng Ziying was stunned.Lu Sangu said again, "Military factory, Cong'er only showed you the firearms assembly factory, right?" Feng Ziying nodded.Lu Sangu looked up at Da Vinci's painting and said, "Many of this man's invention drawings can be used in military industry, or can inspire military industry. What glider, propeller, parachute... Thanks to the Western monarchs 300 years ago. Without vision, these things have been buried. Otherwise, the Westerners would have captured us long ago.” Nai briefly talked about the functions of Da Vinci’s mechanical invention.

It scared Feng Ziying into a cold sweat: "...300 years ago?!"

Lu Sangu nodded: "It's not just our country that has mediocre masters."

Feng Ziying shivered again: "Thanks to the gods and Buddhas, there are also mediocre masters in the West."

Lu Sangu said: "Thank God, there are also mediocre masters in the West." Jia Xu was drinking tea outside, and when he heard it, he laughed all over the tea.
