The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Because Zhen Zangzhu's life experience is wonderful and interesting, Bao Sanye intends to hook him up to stay in Wu, he patted his chest hard and said: "Brother Zhen, just rely on me for the future!" It was spring, and there was a lot of rain in the south of the Yangtze River. I was afraid it would damage the new tomb, so I agreed to stay in Jinling to have a look.

Bao Sanye was very excited and ran to find his father, and shouted when he entered the door: "Master! I've hooked up a talent for the prince!"

Master Bao glanced at him: "Don't you just know some dandies and idlers who only make money."

Bao Sanye approached his old man with a smile and said, "Master, this is really a talent!"

But at this moment a staff member came in.Master Bao waved his hand: "Is there not enough money?" Nai ordered a steward next to him, "Go to the accounting room and get 500 taels of silver for the third master."

Bao Sanye laughed and shouted, "Thank you, master!" Then he continued, "Master, when will you have time to meet him, and what position will you arrange for him?"

Master Bao said: "You just play your own game, as long as you don't cause trouble, the family doesn't expect you to do serious things. Go get the money." Then he called the staff over to ask him if he was okay, and the staff hurriedly bowed down to salute answer.Looking at his father's appearance, Bao San knew that he had never taken himself seriously, pouted, and followed the steward to get the money.

Not long after, Bao Sanye left the mansion with the money in his pocket, jumped on his horse and went to the yamen to look for his elder brother.Uncle Bao is in charge of Wu's money and taxes, and he is busy going around at the moment.Third Master Bao stood by for a long time in a daze, unable to speak, and Uncle Bao never saw him at all.Baba'er waited until there were two sticks of incense, then Mr. Bao let out a long sigh, turned around and came out.

But he went to look for his second brother again.Bao Erye heard that he had someone to recommend, he squinted at him and said with a smile, "Is it the one who eats wine or the one who goes to theater?"

Bao Sanye shouted: "He is really a talent! Both civil and military!"

Second Master Bao raised his eyebrows and said: "Oh~~ he is both civil and military!" Third Master Bao nodded vigorously. "Then he is a juren at least?"

Bao Sanye choked: "Well...he didn't take the exam."

Second Master Bao wrote "I knew it" all over his face: "So this talented man with both civil and military skills is not even a scholar?"

Bao Sanye was a little embarrassed: "He never took the exam, if he did, he would definitely pass the exam. And he is very skilled in martial arts, two groups of ruffians were knocked down by him in the blink of an eye."

Second Master Bao shook his head with a smile, and muttered: "You...you prefer to make friends with these people." Without waiting for Third Master Bao to argue, he continued, "Since you are so capable, I will just be your guard."

Third Master Bao was in a hurry: "I don't need guards! Brother Zhen is really capable! It took me a lot of effort to coax him to stay, and I said that the future rests on me. Second brother, you have to help me." .”

Bao Erye laughed loudly: "It turns out that the cowhide was blown out! Well, since he can fight with local ruffians, how about letting him be a catcher?"

"That's all, I'm teasing you." Bao Erye ordered the left and right, "Find a friend of the third master a six or seven-rank idle job. You don't have to do anything, just get a name."

Third Master Bao's face darkened: "Forget it if you don't believe me! I'll beg my eldest sister to go!" He turned around and left angrily.

However, Bao Sanye is well known as a "dandy", and Princess Wu doesn't take his recommendation seriously.The nanny who heard the rumor said that Zhen Zangzhu was fighting with local ruffians and stopped talking, and she didn't finish hearing his story.He also ordered someone to nagging Mr. Bao for half a day, "Even if you don't like reading, it's fun to have fun. Don't hang out with some ruffians." Mr. Bao has nowhere to complain.Although he does not have a proper job, he is not a person with no eyesight, and he really wants to recommend him because of Zhen Zangzhu's character.But he also uttered big words, so he was so worried that he didn't sleep all night, and when he woke up the next morning, there were two dark circles under his eyes.

A servant beside him saw that his master was worried, so he came up with an idea: "Third Master, why don't you go to Mr. Fang to help Mr. Zhen find a place to live."

Bao Sanye's eyes lit up: "That's right! You still have an idea." Immediately rewarded him with five taels of silver, and ordered someone to take out the clothes at the door to exchange.So excitedly went to find Mr. Fang.

This Mr. Fang is the current Yin of Yingtian Fu, a first-class figure in Jia Yucun, now he is very popular in front of King Wu, and he is most willing to please the gentlemen of the Bao family.After hearing what Bao Sanye said, Mr. Fang immediately agreed, and said: "Since you are a dear friend of the Sanye, how about coming to the official office to pass the sentence? Anyway, he is a son of the sixth rank. His father was a fourth rank grandmaster. Member, for the inconvenience of my son, I have to leave two ranks for future promotions, right?" Bao Sanye listened to some sense, and agreed.He didn't think about it, if this "general judge" had no serious work for him, wouldn't it be the "six or seven-rank idle job" as his second brother said?

When I went back and told Zhen Zangzhu, Zhen Zangzhu thanked me repeatedly.The two went out for a drink.Two days later, Zhen Tongpan officially took office.Mr. Fang didn't give him any work, on the contrary, he smiled as if offering him a uncle.Zhen Zangzhu didn't mind either.At first, I would go to the yamen every day to look at Dianmao, but after seven or eight days, I didn't even go to Dianmao often. I rented a small house in Jinling City, and often had wine, tea and chat with Bao Sanye.

Bao Sanye knew him for a few more days, and respected him more and more.Once he suddenly remembered that he was fighting with those gangsters, saying, "Those people can't see what Brother Zhen is using." Zhen Zangzhu laughed and said, "It's a small wooden dragon stick." He took out something from his bosom, two wooden sticks were connected by an iron lock.

Bao Sanye said: "Isn't the coiling dragon stick one long and one short? It should be made of iron."

"I think it's better to use the two pieces as long as possible. I don't want to go to the battlefield. I'm too strong, and it's easy to kill people with iron. I'm afraid I will get a lawsuit."

Mr. Bao snorted, "What is a lawsuit?"

Zhen Zangzhu said: "Practicing martial arts is for self-defense. If you have no grievances or enemies, why kill them?"

"Brother Zhen is absolutely right."

Zhen Zangzhu is steady.The two of them are often together, which also eases Bao Sanye's jumpy temper.

There is Jiming Temple on Jilong Mountain in Jinling. It is a large temple with monks and nuns.That night, all the disciples of the Buddhist family returned to the meditation room to rest after reciting the evening class. In the nunnery, there was an aunt who was watching the night sitting on the futon and guarding the incense candles.Although this aunt wears a monk's hat, she still can't hide her extraordinary beauty.Suddenly hearing two "dong dong" outside the door, my aunt asked, "Who is it?"

Someone outside said in a low voice: "I have come to see Fourth Miss Zhen by order of Jia Baoyu, the second master of the Rongguo Mansion."

The aunt stood up in shock: "Second Master Bao?!"

With a sound of "squeak", the door opened, and a man in black came in from outside and shook his fist at her: "Meet Miss Zhen Si."

The aunt hurriedly recited the Buddha and saluted with palms together: "The poor nun has been a monk for many years, and she is no longer a girl."

The man said: "Follow orders, Master. Second Master Bao is very...somewhat misses Master, and wonders how Master is doing well."

The aunt recited the Buddha again: "That's all." Nai smiled wryly, "Why did Second Master Bao think of me so well?"

The man said: "At the end of the old year, there was a shopkeeper from Jinling in our mansion who paid the bill. The shop is near the Jiming Temple. The second master Bao came to ask about the master. The second master Bao said that he had persuaded the master to go to the state of Wu to get rich. The master also agrees to be a female teacher in the merchant's mansion, but now the world is full of peaches and plums. In terms of affairs, the master has never been a female teacher, but he has made more friends with noble people. The second master Bao is very worried. I am afraid that the master will encounter difficulties and order People do a little research."

The aunt's eyes turned red: "Thank you, Second Master Bao, for your concern. The poor nun didn't encounter any difficulties."

The man looked at her and said, "Although there are no difficulties, there are dangers."

"What does the benefactor mean by this?"

The man said: "The Zhen family named Mei Ji in Wu Wang's palace is urging Wu Wang to build the Wu palace, but what did the master say?"

The aunt was shocked, pointed at him and said, "What did you say?!"

The man said: "You can't hide this from others. You know what you need to know, Zuo just pretends not to know what you know." The aunt took two steps back and fell down on the futon.The man went on to say, "I was ordered by the Second Master Bao to warn Master." Nai paused, "My lord is thinking, if King Wu builds a new Wu Palace, he will jump out and recognize Mei Ji. Mei Ji Being favored again, he can naturally reap benefits from this errand. Little does he know that he has already fallen into the trap of others. In the future, he will only wait for his family to be ransacked, and the master will not be able to escape being beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market."

The aunt was so frightened that Zhu Yan turned pale, and her voice trembled: "This... I ask the strong man for advice..."

The man sighed softly, and said: "The relationship between Mei Ji and the Zhen family is very easy to find out. The prince's concubine Ji is usually boring, and it is not unusual for her to like to visit temples and nunneries. Jiming Temple is a famous temple in Jinling, and Mei Ji loves to come here. It's usually tight. But she said that Master "looked at Mian Shan". I think it was to serve as an introduction for suddenly remembering her own origin in the future?"

The aunt nodded: "The poor nun hasn't seen her since the catastrophe at home, she was really young at that time; the poor nun had already come here when the poor nun's family took her back to raise her."

The man said: "Think about it, it's not uncommon for a girl to change her mind. It's not unusual for you not to recognize her. When she saw Master when she was young, Master was no longer young. It makes sense for her to see Master's eyes familiarly. Other people don't think like this." Others only think that the two of you are tricky, but after a quick search of Zhen's family, they will know Mei Ji's background."

The aunt was a little at a loss: "Then...doesn't the prince know it too?"

"It's hard to say, but he might not know. He thought Mei Ji was sent by the Bao family, and he liked it, so there's no need to look it up." Auntie's pretty face turned paler.The man said again, "Of course the Bao family also expects the King of Wu to build the Wu Palace. It's just that there are few upright and loyal ministers in the Wu Kingdom, and none of them approve of this. However, the King of Wu himself wants to build it. Therefore, the Wu Palace is probably [-]% It needs to be repaired. The reason is naturally that the prince was instigated by the vixen. The officials hated and complained to Meiji, criticizing her as Dajimeixi, a first-class confidante. However, when the Wu palace is being repaired, the Zhen family will definitely get some benefits. But only a little bit."

The aunt couldn't help asking: "Why is this?"

"The Bao family will take care of this matter. Do the Zhen family dare to rob the Bao family? Meiji is the one who blamed Meiji, and the Bao family gets the benefits. Wu Wang is old, and he will go one day. When the son ascends the throne in the future, a thorough investigation is necessary. The case of Wu Gong put all the blame on Mei Ji and the Zhen family. The benefit of the Zhen family when the Wu Palace was built was the evidence of the crime, and it was inevitable that Mei Ji and the Zhen family should be executed to appease the resentment of the officials and the people. The Zhen family, It was the Bao family who used it as a shield. Although the master has long been a monk, he is the one who is in contact with the Meiji family and the Zhen family, so he can be regarded as the main culprit. After many years, Master will be a part of Shang Caishikou." Speaking of this, my aunt has already The face is like gold paper.The man clasped his fists and said, "There is no life or death in this matter, so Second Master Bao is ordered to come forward and remind Master."

The aunt was stunned for a long time, and murmured: "Thank you, Second Master Bao. It's just...even if the poor nun reminds me now, my brother, they may not believe it."

The man said: "Second Master Bao guessed that Mr. Zhen Yingjia didn't allow Master to be a female teacher?"

Sister-in-law nodded and said: "Master thought that it would be cheaper to be a sister-in-law than to be a female teacher, and to associate with my sister-in-law."

After a moment of silence, the man said: "Please forgive me for speaking bluntly, Father and Brother Ling just regard Master and Mei Ji as a ladder to attract wealth."

The aunt sneered: "How could I not know this? But there is no way, after all, he is the father of the poor nun."

The man nodded slightly and asked, "Master, is he willing to get away?"

The aunt was taken aback: "How to get out?"

"As long as master is willing, Master Bao can arrange for master to leave Jiming Temple and go to Lingnan. Master is willing to become a monk, to return to the vulgar, to be a sister-in-law, to teach, all according to master's wishes. If there is a shortage of female husbands in Lingnan, master can rely on himself, no need to listen Mr. Zhen arranges it."

A flash of surprise flashed across Auntie's face, and she immediately lowered her head.After a long time, he said, "Poor nun... I don't know."

The man also knew that this was a big deal, so he clasped his fists and said, "Master, think about it, and come back after three days." He turned around and strode out.My aunt watched him disappear, thinking about what he said over and over again, frowning.This person did not produce any evidence, and my aunt did not doubt the authenticity of this person at all.

Three days later, it was not the aunt who was on duty at night, she was sitting in her small meditation room and chanting scriptures.After the second watch, the man really came.The aunt hurriedly bowed to him and said: "Strong man, the girl of the poor Nunna clan is only 15 years old. She is ignorant and ignorant, and she only obeys the orders of the family. Can I save her too? Or just save her. She is both If it is gone, it will be like dredging from the bottom of the pot, even if the prince builds Wu palace and Wu palace, it will have nothing to do with the Zhen family. There is no second Meiji in the poor nun's family, and the whole family's life must be saved."

The man frowned, and said: "Master is just an aunt, and there are no guards guarding Jiming Temple. It is very easy to take the master away, and no one will track down the lost aunt. Mei Ji is Wu Wang's love concubine, but it is difficult." Even if she finds a chance, since she is young, she must be greedy for wealth and honor, so she may not be willing to follow me."

My aunt hurriedly said: "She often comes to Jiming Temple to offer incense. The poor nun will persuade her. She is not stupid, just point it out."

The man thought: "Anyway, this matter is not urgent. If Mei Ji is not a fool, Master can discuss it with her slowly. Just don't let your father and the Zhen family know." He sneered, "Those few They are all masters who will not shed tears when they don’t see the coffin. Even if the master tells the truth, they may not believe it.”

The aunt's face was covered with a layer of frost: "If they find out, they will definitely think of other ways. The life and death of the poor nun and the clan sister will definitely not worry about it."

The man nodded: "It's good that Master understands."

The aunt raised her head and looked out of the window, suddenly said with a smile: "The poor nun has come to realize that my father and brother are not as reliable as me."

The man clasped his fists and said, "Congratulations, Master, for understanding."
