The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that Uncle Bao negotiated with Zhen Zangzhu to go back to his mansion properly. Master Bao and Second Master Bao have been waiting for a long time.Uncle Bao will describe his meeting with Zhen Zangzhu in detail.Master Bao pondered for a long time after hearing the words, and asked, "Do you believe it?"

Uncle Bao said: "Most likely I believe it."

"I don't believe it."

"I can't believe it."

Master Bao nodded, and asked Second Master Bao again.Bao Erye: "But I only believe in the little one."

"Why don't you believe it?"

Bao Erye said: "If according to the investigation in Beijing, this person is a thief, I believe it; if he is said to be a water-soluble person, I also believe it; but I don't believe that he is a bandit leader. We have bandits in our family, and I have seen many bandits The leader of the water bandits. The leader has an imposing manner. Mr. Zhen is a lone thief and does not have the aura of a bandit leader. Therefore, why does he lie that he is the bandit leader?"

Uncle Bao said: "Maybe it's to raise your status?"

Bao Erye said: "No offense, unless the person is greedy for power."

Uncle Bao immediately said: "If he is greedy for power, it would be best to stay in Dacheng."

Bao Erye nodded and said: "That's why I'm even suspicious of the person he said at first that he is water soluble, and I can't say which one sent him. The fine work is afraid of wine and sex, he doesn't touch women's sex. Besides, the careful work should be less involved. , it makes sense that he doesn't want to associate with Zhen Yingjia."

Uncle Bao said: "Zhen Yingjia said that Zhen Deren's calligraphy and paintings are all real. Zhen Deren has been dead for many years, and others have no idea that there is such a person in the world."

Bao Erye said: "Zhen Deren is supposed to be doing something secret for the late emperor, even if the Zhen family has secrets, it will not be in Zhen Yingjia's branch. I just don't know if Zhen Zangzhu's identity is true or not. If it is false, Then he must be trying to lure someone into the bait. The fish is definitely not in the Wu country, and he doesn’t know who to plot against. Let’s make people keep an eye on him. The Wu country is just his way. This man is brave and resourceful. Look at how loyal he is to the third child, his idea can be used." Then he took two sips of tea.

Uncle Bao couldn't help asking: "What if it's true?"

"If his identity is true. I thought, he might have been a secret agent in the green forest at first - since he talked about things with Shui Rong, he must not be Shui Rong. The old servant passed away and got the identity of Zhen Zangzhu , Come to Wu country to find relatives, so far it’s true. I don’t want to meet our silly son.” Nai tsk said, “What a great opportunity. It’s much more difficult to send fine works to the King of Wu than to the green forest. Why not go with the flow?"

Master Bao nodded and said: "Look, why did he ask the Zhen family to persuade the prince not to build the Wu Palace?"

Bao Erye said: "I really don't know about this. Regardless of whether he is Zhen Zangzhu or not, he has obtained this status. With Mei Ji's current favorite, building Wu Palace and Zhen's family must take advantage of the opportunity, and it is only good for Zhen Zangzhu."

Master Bao pinched his beard and said, "I don't understand either." The father and son discussed for a long time, but they couldn't figure out the reason.

After a long time, Uncle Bao said: "Master, are you still persuading the prince to build the Wu Palace?"

Master Bao thought: "Wait for a while, let's see what kind of medicine is sold in this Zhen Zangzhu gourd." Naiming and him sent two well-behaved and sensible virgins there.

Sure enough, the two girls were sent back by Zhen Zangzhu, saying that they were useless.Second Master Bao said with a smile: "A woman who refuses to have a big brother, I'm afraid she doesn't like other people who have slept with her. It would be weird if she didn't want a virgin. It must be meticulous work, so I can keep an eye on him." Going back to coax Third Master Bao: "Old man Three, the second brother only now realizes that your big brother Zhen is a talent. I went to win him over, and he only said hello. If there is any news about him, you can tell the second brother to hear it, so that I can figure out his preferences. Next time Let's win over again." Bao Sanye was so happy that his tail went up to the sky, he patted his chest and agreed repeatedly.

Unexpectedly, after only three days, I heard Bao Sanye come home and said with a smile: "Brother Zhen just robbed a woman!"

Bao Erye was slightly startled: "What woman?"

"I picked it up on the road." Bao Sanye said, "Other people's!"

Second Master Bao was amazed: "The last time the eldest brother gave him a woman, he didn't even want it!" He hurriedly asked what was going on.

It turned out that Mr. Bao took Zhen Zangzhu to the opera today.Coming out of the theater building, he was leading the horse and discussing where to go for a drink, when Zhen Zangzhu suddenly disappeared.He only heard the commotion of pedestrians around him, looked up, and saw a horse galloping past the street without avoiding people.Others scattered to avoid, and there was a woman stunned.Seeing that the horse's hoof was about to kick the woman in the head, Zhen Zangzhu somehow ran over and grabbed the woman.The woman threw herself on the ground and avoided the horse.The crowd cheered in unison.Zhen Zangzhu ignored the woman after saving her life, and walked away as if nothing happened; an old woman stepped forward to help her up.

Zhen Zangzhu came back to join Mr. Bao, others came forward to compliment him one after another, Mr. Bao suddenly felt honored.For a while, the aunt helped the woman over to thank her.At that time, the two of them had already mounted the horse.Zhen Zangzhu only nodded, but Mr. Bao said triumphantly: "Be careful when you walk on the street! You won't meet my elder brother next time." The woman thanked her with a pale face, and walked to the side of the road.

Zhen Zangzhu glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, and shouted: "That lady, come back."

The woman hurried back: "What is your benefactor's order?"

Zhen Zangzhu said: "You are still muddled, but what's the problem?"

The woman burst into tears immediately, and shook her head: "...No." Nai bestowed a blessing, and walked away step by step.Zhen Zangzhu immediately looked at her.

A long-tongued woman came over and said, "Master, she is afraid to go home."

Seeing that Zhen Zangzhu seemed quite interested, Bao Sanye quickly asked, "Why are you afraid of going home?"

The mother-in-law said: "Her man loves wine, but the family has no money. He usually beats her when he is drunk, and beats her to vent his anger if he has no money to buy wine."

Zhen Zangzhu frowned and said, "Does her natal family care?"

The mother-in-law sighed: "The married daughter's splashed water is not in the family's control. Even if she hides for three or two days, is it possible to stay at her mother's house for ten days and a half months? Shouldn't she go back to her in-law's house? There is a mother-in-law waiting for her to serve, and the son is also young."

Zhen Zangzhu looked sideways at the woman for a moment and asked, "What's her name?"

The mother-in-law said: "Her man's name is Wang Tongsuo."

"I asked what her name was."

The mother-in-law was startled: "Is her surname Xu or Xu?"

Zhen Zangzhu turned around and told the boy brought by Mr. Bao: "Call her back." The boy hurriedly jumped off the horse, ran over like a rabbit, and pulled the woman back.The woman timidly performed another blessing on the horse's head.Zhen Zangzhu ordered her to "raise her head." The woman raised her head slightly, and Zhen Zangzhu looked down at her.Jinling women are so beautiful.This one is only in her early twenties, and although she is not comparable to a peerless beauty, she is still somewhat attractive.Zhen Zangzhu nodded and asked, "What's your last name? How old are you?"

The woman hurriedly lowered her head: "My surname is Xu, and I am 21 years old this year."

"How old is my son?"

"Under three years old."

Zhen Zangzhu thought for a moment and said, "Would you like to follow me?" The woman was shocked.Zhen Zangzhu said, "I can raise your son together."

The servant hurriedly said: "Lord Zhen is a celebrity in front of the prince!"

Bao Sanye glanced at Zhen Zangzhu in surprise, and said to the woman: "My elder brother is an official of the fifth grade and a junior, even if he wants a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, the sender can get out of the trick door here! Seeing that the woman was still in a panic, Nai sneered and said, "It's up to you whether you want to or not." He glanced at Zhen Zangzhu again.

I thought Zhen Zangzhu would say something like don't rob people's daughters by force, but he didn't say a word, but he acquiesced!After a while, he said: "I will buy two maids tomorrow."

Bao Sanye said with a smile: "I'll give my eldest brother two."

"No, I'll buy it myself. I'll borrow a few people from your family to get her daily necessities and her son."

The woman was stunned, and it took a while to understand—is she going to be robbed by her benefactor?Concentrating on seeing that the benefactor is not young anymore, he seems to be an official... Before she could figure it out, Zhen Zangzhu stretched his arms gently on the horse, picked up the woman and got on the horse's back.The woman exclaimed.Zhen Zangzhu smiled slightly, applauded the horse and left.The woman was just watching the excitement, and seeing that Mrs. Xu was really about to be robbed, she hurriedly shouted: "Master! You can't rob us by force!"

Zhen Zangzhu said calmly: "I really want it?" He turned sideways and cupped his hands towards Mr. Bao.

Third Master Bao laughed twice, patted his chest and said, "Put it on me!"

Zhen Zangzhu said "Thank you", and couldn't help but take the woman and walk away!Everyone was in an uproar.Where does Mr. Bao care about these things!Instruct the dog leg, "Lead a few people to fetch Xu's things and son." Such boring things are naturally done by his subordinates.He figured that Big Brother Zhen had a woman now, he had to send him some things, and he had to introduce some reliable men... so he went home first.

After hearing what happened, Second Master Bao was also stunned.Don't want to give him a virgin, but actually robbed a drunkard's woman in the street?This Zhen Tibetan pearl has a very strange taste.Third Master Bao was clamoring to give him a gift again, Second Master Bao hurriedly said: "What do you know? Let your sister-in-law send someone to prepare to go. You just ask your wife to prepare a private gift." Thinking about it, Third Master Bao thought, He really didn't understand this, so he hurriedly turned back to his courtyard and rushed his wife to prepare a gift.Bao Erye ordered the important people to check on Xu's mother-in-law's house.

In just half a day, Xu's family was investigated to the bottom - there was really nothing to investigate.A woman from a market family, Lao Tzu is a boatman who pulls fiber, her husband is a clerk in a joss stick shop, and her son is two and a half years old.Her mother-in-law's family, the [-]th generation of ancestors are ordinary, and there is no official in the eighth way.I heard from the neighbors that Xu's appearance is good, and he is considered an outstanding one among ordinary small families.At that time, Bao Sanye's dog leg had gone to Xu's in-law's house to snatch things and children. Her husband didn't even dare to give a fart, but his old mother cried and refused to let the grandson be taken away and let the Bao family The person fell on all fours.

Second Master Bao thought about it for a long time, then went back to the courtyard to look for Second Grandma Bao and said, "You go to the yard of the third son and let the third daughter-in-law find out about the woman Mrs. Zhen Zangzhu brought back." Second Grandma Bao hurriedly asked what kind of woman it was .Second Master Bao said, "It sounds mediocre, but I don't know why Mr. Zhen is interested in her. Mr. Zhen is a talent."

Second Grandma Bao hurriedly said, "Can I ask my concubine to investigate on behalf of Second Master?"

Bao Erye said with a smile: "He has a good relationship with the third child. The past of the third child's family is more suitable. I just didn't believe in the third child, but his wife is sensible." He thought for a while, "If you have the opportunity, let him She took advantage of the situation to say a few words—Master Zhen's house is really too small, so I still rent it." Second Grandma Bao agreed.

The next day, Third Grandma Bao, dressed in a lake-green spring shirt and less hairpins, drove to Zhen Zangzhu's house in a small carriage.Xu's son was snatched by the bad guys yesterday, and he cried and cried for half the night, and now he is sleeping.Zhen Zangzhu went to the yamen, and Xu was at home alone—she didn't dare to escape.Hearing someone knock on the door, he hesitated for a while before moving over and opening it.I saw a young lady as beautiful as a fairy standing at the door with a smile, followed by two pretty maids in silk clothes.Xu was immediately dumbfounded.

Grandma Bao San said with a smile: "Hi sister Xu. My family is a friend of Mr. Zhen. I heard that Mr. Zhen has something good to do, so I came to see my sister." Mrs. Xu didn't know how to answer the question at all, she stood at a loss what to do.Grandma Bao San stepped forward to hold her hand, but led her to the yard instead.She went to the main room to find two chairs to sit down on, but Xu was still ignorant.Grandma Bao San then pulled her to talk.She asked a question, Xu answered, without telling a half-word lie.After talking for more than an hour, Grandma Bao San left a lot of presents and left.

Back at Bao's house, the third grandma told the second grandma, and the second grandma told the second master. "The appearance is not outstanding, but it is very tender. Like a little white rabbit, she is dazed and stunned. She has never seen the world, and she believes everything people say, and she will pour her heart out to the third daughter-in-law with a few words." "Yesterday Lord Zhen just snatched her back without doing anything, and told her to take care of her son. He went to the government office this morning." "There is no rice in Mrs. Zhen's kitchen! Mrs. Zhen went out early in the morning to buy breakfast Take it back to her, and say that someone will deliver food at noon, and let her stay at home obediently. She really didn't dare to go out for half a step." "This woman, the third daughter-in-law said, she doesn't know what Master Zhen likes her I don't know. Some men like women like this." Bao Erye was still confused after hearing this.

This afternoon, Zhen Zangzhu asked Mr. Bao to borrow money, saying that he wanted to buy a house.Bao Sanye is so generous!Immediately said: "What to buy! Big brother is so happy, brother, I have a lot of houses, and I can't live in so many houses, so I give you one." Zhen Zangzhu immediately clasped his fists: "Since that is the case, brother Yu will be disrespectful!" Bao Sanye ordered When the man went home to fetch the deed, Zhen Zangzhu accepted it on the spot without any hesitation.

The next day, Zhen Zangzhu bought two maids, two servants and a cook.Now that there are servants, Zhen Zangzhu ordered the servant to send five taels of silver to Xu's husband's family.Her man was overjoyed after receiving the money, and immediately went out to have a drink.It was his mother who cried for a long time again, saying that it was the mother-in-law who gave it to the old man without any problems, and begged the old man to return her grandson to her.The young man said: "Our master said that our young master will pass the reading and writing test in the future." The old woman cried more and more.It's a pity that ordinary people's homes, if the government master wants to rob someone, only Babaer is robbed, and there is no reason to justify it.

One day later, Zhen Zangzhu led Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu's sons to move to the house given by Mr. Bao.Three days later, he posted a message to his good colleagues, and chose an auspicious day to serve Na Xu as his concubine.When the son heard about it, he immediately rewarded him with 500 taels of silver.Zhen Zangzhu said with a smile: "In the past, I didn't care much about money matters. Now that I have women and children, I pay more attention to it." He bowed down and bowed, "Thank you, my lord."

The prince clapped his palms and smiled: "It's strange that my little uncle said that Zhen Aiqing looked like a human being in the blink of an eye."
