The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Lu Sangu led Feng Ziying to her mansion to reminisce about the past, and mentioned the skills of the Western inventor Leonardo da Vinci. Feng Ziying was overjoyed to hear that.For a while the two sat in the courtyard to rest, Feng Ziying sighed: "These kings have won more wars with the Westerners than lost, and I didn't pay attention to them. Cong'er said countless times that my dynasty was far behind, and I I just feel strange. It turns out that these things are backward.”

Lu Sangu shook her head and said, "You can be regarded as the master who has the most information about foreign countries in my dynasty. Even you see that Westerners are so incomprehensible, but you can see that others are more and more discerning. Taiwan's people are all Cong'er who learned from the West. Come on, that family learned the same thing, and this family learned the same thing. Together, they are better than a certain Western country. Anyway, they have the idea of ​​​​expanding overseas before us. Even the firearms are learned from others."

Feng Ziying said: "Why are Westerners willing to teach him firearms?"

Lu Sangu smiled and said: "My court is also better than the West, and that is martial arts. Cong'er sent people to arrest the important figures from the Western Firearms Workshop." Feng Ziying laughed dumbly.

Jia Xu leaned over and said, "Have you two finished talking? Let's finish talking roughly, and rest earlier. Aren't we going to open APEC tomorrow?"

Lu Sangu said: "I just came back today. Your Majesties are very tired. Tomorrow, I will take a day off and have a meeting the next day." She looked at Feng Ziying, "Master Feng, do you want to attend? If you want to attend, you have to put on makeup. Many people know you."

Feng Ziying asked what was going on, and Lu Sangu briefly talked about APEC.Feng Ziying was amazed: "It's all unheard of, I have to learn more."

Jia Xu said, "Just now I heard people say that Shui Rong has a sad face, what's going on?"

Lu Sangu snorted, "That guy didn't give up, so he sent a handsome boy to hang out in front of Lord Zhou. Lord Zhou thought he was an assassin, so he wanted to kill him." Jia Xu laughed loudly.Lu Sangu smiled and said, "He even said that he wanted to give Zhou Guozhu a few face-to-face! Zhou Guozhu made him angry, and said, do I look like a mediocre lord who will deceive the country because of her beauty?"

Feng Ziying hurriedly asked: "Shui Rong wants to marry Java?"

Lu Sangu said: "It's just wishful thinking, Zhou Xiaolan is about to get married."

Jia Xu said: "Even if she is not married, she has never met anyone in the palace in her early years."

Lu Sangu said with a smile: "Shui Rong can't be entirely blamed. Nowadays, everyone thinks that Zhou Xiaolan is just a greedy Qiongzhou fisherman who went into the sea as a thief, and she has never seen many handsome men."

Feng Ziying asked: "Why did she occupy Java?"

Lu Sangu said: "Didn't I say that? Because I'm greedy!"

"Is it really because you like cocoa tea?"

"Really, that's the reason. Otherwise, she might become a knight in the forest." Lu Sangu laughed, "Don't underestimate women's obsession with food."

Feng Ziying shook her head: "The reason... is like a joke."

Although there was still one day to rest, Lu Sangu was not idle and was busy preparing for the important matters in the future.Feng Ziying looked at her for a while first, and found that she didn't understand at all, so she went to discuss with Jia Xu whether there was any exchange.

Afterwards, Feng Ziying really put on makeup, and pretended to be a staff member of Dajiala and mingled in the APEC venue to listen, and she was dumbfounded in the first morning.Your Majesties are negotiating with Lu Sangu and others to issue banknotes and exchange them for gold and silver.After listening to it for several days, I gradually felt like I was cast down.After the meeting adjourned that day, Feng Ziying pulled Jia Cong and sighed: "Third Aunt... She really was a genius in the past..." Jia Cong smiled complacently.

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.When everyone in Dajiala was busy setting up APEC, a man in his forties entered Jinling City Gate.This person is eight feet tall, with a dark face and a mighty appearance. He is riding a big black horse, carrying a bundle, and has a sword hanging from his waist. At first glance, he looks like a bodyguard.I went to an inn in the city to stay and rest for half a day. In the afternoon, I started to inquire about the former imperial envoy Zhen Yingjia, the president of Jinling Provincial Institute of Physical Education.

The next day, I got a letter from the Zhen family from several old neighbors.The old neighbor asked him who he was, and he only said that he was a "relative".The man thanked the old neighbor for two hundred copper coins, got on his horse and left.Just turned across the street, but happened to meet two gangs of street rascals fighting and blocking the road.The man yelled "excuse me", but no one paid any attention to him.He shouted again, but no one paid any attention to him.Shout a third time.When idlers fight, who listens to him?The man flattered the horse and rushed straight over.

Seeing that there are two people in front of you who are pestering me and strangling you, this man took out an object from his arms and shook it twice.Hearing "Ouch" and "Ouch", the two of them fell to the ground.In the blink of an eye, the idlers stumbled and fell out of a path, and this man walked through calmly, still chanting "Excuse me".When he reached the end of the crowd, he immediately turned around and clasped his fists, "Thank you for letting me go." Nai swaggered away.After a while, someone muttered underground: "No thanks..."

Although Zhen's mansion has already been copied by King Wu, the house is still there.Now it is the natal family of Wu Wangzhengfei Bao's family who lives here.The place of the fight was not far from Bao's mansion, and it didn't take long for this matter to become a joke among the servants and slaves and spread to the master's ears.All the dandies in the world are in a panic, and if they are idle, good things will happen.That man is highly skilled in martial arts, polite and funny, so the third master of the Bao family wanted to make friends with him.

The white-browed and red-eyed person naturally didn't know who this person was, but since he was inquiring about the Zhen family, he had to go to the Zhen family.The next day, Mr. Bao ordered someone to go to Zhen's house to ask.How dare Zhen Yingjia lie a word?When the people from the Bao family went over and asked him, he said it.

It turned out that this person was indeed a relative of the Zhen family, also surnamed Zhen, surnamed Cangzhu, he was just 40 years old this year, and he was the second wife of Zhen Deren, brother of Zhen Yingjia's clan.Zhen Deren was a skillful carpenter who went to Beijing to work for the late emperor during his lifetime.Because the family members stayed in their hometowns and did not go with them, it is inevitable for the middle-aged man to leave some romantic affairs when he is alone.This Zhen Zangzhu's mother left early, but a couple of old servants brought him up, and now he is doing some small business in the suburbs of Beijing for a living.The old servant passed away a few months ago, and left Zhen Deren's handwritten letter and a painting before he died.The letter mentioned the name of his uncle Zhen Yingjia, and Zhen Zangzhu took these two things to Jinling, his native place, to look for relatives.

After hearing this, Bao Sanye asked: "Has he found his father yet?"

The boy said: "Where is his father? More than 20 years ago, he was wiped out by bandits who didn't know where. Not even a dog was left behind."

Bao Sanye let out a "huh" and said, "It's a novelty."

The little fellow smiled and said, "Master, I haven't finished talking just now." Mr. Bao glanced at him.The boy smiled and shook his eyebrows, "According to what Zhen Yingjia said, this Zhen Deren has many stories." Then he recounted Zhen Deren's experience from the beginning.

After hearing this, Bao Sanye nodded again and again: "It's really interesting! In this way, Zhen Deren's family's incompleteness was suppressed by the late emperor?" Nai laughed and said, "No wonder a concubine Baba'er is called Cangzhu. He hid a pearl behind his back. Beads." After thinking for a moment, he said again, "That's not right. He is the son of a carpenter, raised by an old servant, and an ordinary businessman, so he must not have much money. How did he learn his kung fu? Someone would teach him for nothing. His martial arts?"

The servant said: "I did ask the little one. The Zhen family didn't know that Zhen Zangzhu knew martial arts, so they didn't ask him. The little one is about to ask the second master to show me, but I have to tell the Zhen family. See you next time." This person asked him?"

Bao Sanye waved his hand and said, "No need. Since Zhen Deren's family is dead, Zhen Yingjia must have helped collect the corpse back then?"

"Exactly."

Bao Sanye shook his head and said: "Zhen Deren left a letter to the concubine, not writing his own address, but leaving the name of his clan brother, so he knew that he would not live long. Zhen Zangzhu, the old servant, died I just took out the little master's father's letter, I'm afraid I got some orders. Interesting, interesting! Where are Zhen Deren's family buried?"

The servant was stunned: "This... the servant didn't ask."

"Fool!" Bao Sanye scolded, "Don't ask if you should ask! Quickly ask!" The boy kowtowed in fright, grabbed his hat and ran away.

Zhen Deren's whole family was buried outside Qingliangmen in the west of the city.Bao Sanye thought, Zhen Zangzhu is 40 years old, and he just found out who his biological father is; when he found out his origin, he had already turned into a dead bone.And Zhen Yingjia himself has been in decline for many years, so he must have no time to clean up the graves of his clan brothers. The tomb of Zhen Deren doesn't know how desolate it has become.After Zhen Zangzhu found his Lao Tzu's grave, he had to hire someone to repair it, and most of the time he had to work in the grave these days.Sure enough, I sent someone to ask near the grave of Zhen Deren's family. In the past few days, there was indeed a man wearing sackcloth and filial piety, with a capital accent, who looked like Zhen Zangzhu. I also asked which temple in Jinling City had the best monks.Bao Sanye said happily: "Nothing is as expected by Sanye."

The next day, Bao Sanye wore a plain robe and led two boys to stroll outside the Qingliang Gate. He lost his way accidentally and heard voices of people not far ahead, so he drove his horse over to have a look.When I got there, I saw that there was a filial son directing the helpers to replace the broken tombstone.So he went up to ask the way.

The filial son said: "I am a foreigner, and I don't know the road to Jinling. I only know the way to come."

Bao Sanye said: "I'm not from Jinling either. My family has moved to Jinling for many years, but I don't know the roads in this area. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to leave. I'll just follow you when the strong man has something to do with you."

The filial son said: "I will stay here for a while." Pointing to the helper, he said, "These masters are all locals, just invite one of the leading students to go out."

Bao Sanye waved his hand and said: "They are all hired by strong men to work for their ancestors. If I take them away, wouldn't it be disrespectful to the deceased?" He refused again and again.The filial son just listens.

All the damaged tombstones were replaced with new ones. The filial son kowtowed repeatedly in front of a big grave, wept for a while, then got up and led the people away.Mr. Bao had to follow behind.The filial son untied his horse and brought it over. Mr. Bao's eyes lit up: "What a horse!"

The filial son unconsciously smiled, and stroked the horse's neck and said: "When I first bought it, it was still a pony, and it has been three years since it passed away." The horse seemed to understand people's words, and raised its neck and screamed.The filial son touched it a few more times, then got on the horse.

Because he praised his horse, the filial son treated Bao Sanye much more pleasantly.The two said something on the way and went straight into the city.Bao Sanye took advantage of the opportunity to invite the filial son to dinner, saying that he was thanking him for leading the way.The filial son is straightforward, so he agreed.The two exchanged names and surnames with the banquet, so they knew each other.Hearing Zhen Zangzhu say that he wanted to invite some high-minded monks and Taoists to perform rituals for his father, Third Master Bao patted his chest and said, "Leave it on me! Brother Zhen, don't worry, Guanbao will invite the best monks and priests in Jinling City for you!" " Zhen Zangzhu was overjoyed and gave a deep gift.

Afterwards, Bao Sanye helped Zhen Zangzhu to invite several waves of famous monks and Taoists to save the whole family of Zhen's family, and also helped him with other things.Zhen Zangzhu has just arrived and is unfamiliar with the place, without his help, many things would be really difficult to handle, but I am very grateful.After coming and going, the two became acquainted.

After all the affairs of the Zhen family were done, Zhen Zangzhu invited Mr. Bao to have a meal to thank him.Bao Sanye asked about his martial arts.Zhen Zangzhu said: "When I was young, my family was in decline, and I only studied for four years. Because I lived in the Tiekan Temple area in the suburbs of Beijing, there were many large and small temples nearby. Once I was on the hillside outside the village. Wenshu—I couldn’t afford paper and pens at home, so I had to scratch the ground with branches—an old monk came down from the mountain, and watched me for a long time. Because I wanted to write those words, he neither spoke to me nor said anything. At the end The old monk nodded and said, it is rare for a young man to have such a state of mind. So he ordered me to come back at this time tomorrow. As expected, I went the next day, and the old monk taught me martial arts, and even took some books to teach me when he had time."

Bao Sanye hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask about the honored master's treasure number?"

Zhen Zangzhu shook his head: "The old man refused to tell. After 15 years, he said that there is nothing to teach me. Then he never came again."

Mr. Bao asked, "Have you ever inquired?"

Zhen Zangzhu said: "He is not willing to tell, or he has a difficult reason, or we are not destined enough, why should we know the truth?"

Bao Sanye clapped his hands: "Brother Zhen is such a wonderful person!" He asked him what he planned to do next.

Zhen Zangzhu sighed: "Go back to Beijing to do business and live, what else can I do."

Mr. Bao asked, "I wonder how old my nephew is? Shall I bring him some gadgets?"

Zhen Zangzhu's eyes turned red immediately: "Ten years old is gone." Mr. Bao hurriedly gave a few words of relief.Zhen Zangzhu sighed, "There is no news from his mother either. I finally got a letter from my own father, and it's another deserted tomb..." She actually shed tears.

Third Master Bao spoke to him about his worries for a long time, and finally said: "Since Brother Zhen has nothing to worry about, why don't you just stay in Jinling for a long time? As the saying goes, three years of filial piety. Your lord only has one of your sons alive. The deadline has passed, so it’s time for you to come up with some ideas. Besides, you are such a talented person, so doing some small business is not a talent? Since the King of Yan doesn’t know people, the King of Wu is most thirsty for talent.”

Zhen Zangzhu said with a wry smile: "My dear brother, you are joking. My father is a carpenter, and my mother is only the daughter of a merchant. Brother Yu has only studied in a private school for four years, how can he be considered a talent?"

Bao Sanye clapped his hands and said: "Brother Zhen is confused, isn't he? Your lord is a majestic fourth-rank Zhongshun doctor, this official is small? The magistrate is only a fourth-rank title! If you talk about merchants, don't forget the early years of King Wu There is a nickname called "Business Lord". Didn't Brother Zhen study with an eminent monk for 15 years? Today, in the state of Wu, there are those who are good at literature and martial arts, but there are no those who are good at both literature and military. Hiding the fierce tiger, lying on the unicorn in the wilderness. Brother Zhen is the talent bestowed on Wu by heaven!"

Zhen Zangzhu's eyes flashed: "Brother Bao Xian, don't lie to me. What is your identity?"

Bao Sanye smiled and said, "It's just a rich dude in Jinling City."
