The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Zhen Yinglian followed the eunuch into Wu Wangfu, and Princess Bao had been waiting for a long time.Zhen Yinglian stopped to salute, Bao Shi pointed to a chair and ordered her to sit, Zhen Yinglian sat down carefully.The concubine looked at her and asked, "How old is the son of the concubine that General Wei took care of in Dongying?"

Zhen Yinglian closed her eyes heavily: "Five...five years old."

"Just this one?"

The concubine asked if Wei Ruoheng was the only concubine. Zhen Yinglian thought about it, and lowered her head: "There is another daughter, six years old."

The princess frowned: "It's not easy. Do you know the origin of that woman?"

"Grandpa used to be a Zhima official of seventh or eighth rank." Zhen Yinglian spoke smoothly at this moment, "Later, there was chaos in Beijing, her grandfather lost his official position and couldn't find another way out, so the whole family went to Luzhou with relatives The Zeng family was married, and her father promised her to a soldier in Luzhou. The man was hot-tempered and loved to beat his wife, so she ran away secretly and went to Dongying with the boat. Seriously, she is still a man That soldier Mingmei is marrying."

The concubine smiled and said, "Since that's the case, do you know the name of the man from the Zeng family?"

Zhen Yinglian hesitated and said: "If someone runs away with his wife, he will always look for her, right? I am thinking of quietly sending someone to the country of Lu to find out."

The concubine shook her head: "The king of Lu and the king of Yan joined forces to go to North America to fight. Since the man is a soldier, he might be still at sea at this moment. Besides, since your husband gave birth to a pair of children, can you return them?" Zhen Yinglian Otherwise.The concubine looked at her and asked, "How does it look?" Zhen Yinglian lowered her head and shut her mouth, with the corners of her mouth tightly pursed.The princess understood, and said, "Since that's the case, what are you afraid of? She is a married woman, and Wei Ruoheng can't accept her as a concubine at all. Her two children can only be recorded under the name of any housekeeper. As soon as the general leaves, the three of you, the mother and the child, will be in your hands."

Zhen Yinglian immediately said: "Our general doesn't have a maid!" The princess just looked at her indifferently.Tears rolled down Zhen Yinglian's eyes.

The concubine had thousands of words to persuade her in her heart, but seeing her appearance, she couldn't persuade her with a single word.After a long time, she let out a long sigh: "After all, you can't leave people in the inn, so take them back. Anyway, I'll make the decision for you." Zhen Yinglian sobbed more and more.The princess then slowly persuaded her.

After Zhen Yinglian left, a eunuch slipped in from outside and knelt down to answer.He said: "The servant just went to see General Wei's concubine's room. It's amazing! Let's not talk about the appearance, how can it look like it came from Dongying? It's much better than everyone's ladies. The two children can also teach Clever and courteous, very lovable."

The concubine held the teacup in a daze for a while, before asking, "Did you see Wei Ruoheng's wife just now? How is the one in the inn better than her?"

The eunuch secretly glanced at the princess, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty...do you want to hear the truth?"

"nature."

The eunuch said: "The appearance is not the same, but Mrs. Wei looks like a Xiaojiabiyu."

The concubine was stunned for a long time when she heard the words, and sighed: "In other words, when Wei Ruoheng leaves, the Wei family will not be sure who will be in charge."

The next day, the Wei family took the mother and son back from the inn.The person posing as Wei Ruoheng's concubine is the eldest cousin of Princess Jian'an, the daughter of Zeng's parents in Luzhou.In the past two years, I was sent to Dongying for official business, but now it is a steady and meticulous work.Aunt Zeng was originally prepared by her family for a wealthy family in Beijing.In the end, even though she married a young military officer in Luzhou, what she learned in the early years can be used, and it is easy to communicate with Wu Guogui's family.

Jia Cong wanted to take Zhen Yinglian and Yuanyuan to Dajiala, but Wei Ruoheng was leading the army outside, and King Wu would not let his family leave.Several people discussed that if water bandits were used to rob people, they could only take away people, and it would not be easy to deal with the property of the Wei family.Besides, the two of them ran away, and King Wu was getting older, so he was likely to be suspicious of Wei Ruoheng.The troops and firearms are still being supplied by the state of Wu.So Mrs. Zeng was blocked by Wei Ruoheng's concubine status, and she had a pair of children.In the future, Zhen Yinglian will leave according to plan, and Zeng's secret work will be cheaper.Anyway, Wei Ruoheng left his confidant to take care of the property, and the Zeng family is a tenant, so they just don't pay rent.With Wei's family as cover, she and the child are also safe.

The rest is how to help Concubine Chen persuade King Wu to let Wei Ruoheng's son go to Taiwan to study.Several people chattered and arranged, still not sure - from the standpoint of King Wu, the eldest son of Wei is not a suitable candidate for the little boy.It was the first time for Zhen Yinglian to participate in these important matters, so she didn't dare to speak while sitting by.She was a little confused after listening for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "How many children will the prince of Shu send? Why do you say it is one, and then a son and a daughter."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "One, the eldest daughter. I have not allowed women to be officials for thousands of years. It is not so easy for the Kingdom of Shu to establish a daughter. We have studied how Empress Wu of the Tang Dynasty became the empress. Because she has been a queen since she was a queen. From Huizi to Empress Dowager, she has been in charge of the government for many years and has accumulated a lot of prestige. If the little girl wants to become the queen of the Shu Kingdom, she must first experience some majesty. Now she only spreads the word in the whole country, saying that the son of the Shu Kingdom has a shameful background His illegitimate son had to be sent to Taiwan to study, and he even sent the little princess as a cover. If the rumor persists for a few years, it will be accepted as fact. Many years later, the little princess disguised herself as a man and returned to Shu, only saying that she was the illegitimate son. Few people have seen her now, even if there are women from the back house, they are not in the same group as the men from the previous court, so they are not afraid of being recognized."

Chen Ruijin interjected: "Women's Big Eighteen Changes, even if I saw it when I was a child, I couldn't recognize it."

Jia Cong nodded, and continued: "Our rumors are that this illegitimate child is not only inappropriate, but also stupid. When she finishes her studies and returns to Shu, all the civil and military officials in the court thought that the prince must be a fool, and the expectations were lowered. Then She gradually shows her abilities to others, and others will not mind her parentage after being shocked. Being the son of the crown prince and supported by her own uncle, it is only logical that she will be appointed as the crown prince after her father ascends the throne. "

Zeng said: "What if the son later gave birth to a real son?"

Chen Ruijin said: "Then we can only keep the concubine from returning to Shu. As for the chief of the small county, she decides for herself."

Jia Cong winked and said: "From the current trend, it is quite difficult. Situ Cen's brother has just won the Seven Princesses, and the seven girls are born of six different women. Naturally, the son is unwilling to pass the Kingdom of Shu to his nephew and daughter. Anyway, it is his own; Situ Cen is sincerely not interested in being the King of Shu, nor is he interested in letting his son be the King of Shu. Even the old Shu King and Princess Shu have to hide this plan from the beginning to the end. Situ Cen secretly discussed it Yes. After Xiaojun takes the initiative to leave Chengdu, we will spread the rumor to Shu." He clapped his hands and said, "It's interesting to think about!"

Zeng couldn't help laughing and said, "How did you come up with this idea!"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "I didn't think of it, I copied it." There are too many such stories in later generations... Nai clapped his hands, "Well, that's it. Sister Wei, do you have an idea? Wang believes that the little princess of the Kingdom of Shu doesn't like anyone but your family Yuanyuan?"

Zhen Yinglian couldn't help frowning: "...I don't want to think about it." Zeng burst out laughing.

Wei Ruoheng also smiled and said, "I don't want to either, Yuanyuan is still young. Isn't this to coax people."

Jia Cong thought for a while and asked, "Sister-in-law Wei, how did you fall in love with Brother Wei back then—to tell the truth."

Zhen Yinglian looked at Wei Ruoheng, blushing, "He...isn't like a bad guy."

"Maybe you saved him because you felt pity, maybe you didn't think he was a bad person, and you started to fight against injustice. But it's not because of this that you married him. What do you like about him?"

Wei Ruoheng smiled and said, "I was the one who pestered her later."

Jia Cong held his chin: "Well, you can show your sincerity by chasing it closely. But this depends on the acquired, what about the innate? Handsome? Good figure? Wealthy family? High martial arts? Sister-in-law, we need the truth."

Zhen Yinglian's face was flushed with shame, and she whispered: "The appearance is pleasing to the eye."

Jia Cong nodded: "It can be seen that appearance is a necessary condition. There are many good-looking boys, not just Yuanyuan."

Wei Ruoheng snorted, "I'm afraid there won't be anyone more handsome than me in the entire Wu Kingdom."

Jia Cong rolled his eyes at him: "Your name is Daddy filter, don't count!" Then he looked at Zeng, "Has sister Zeng ever liked any boy?"

Zeng said indifferently: "I said General Zhong Heng, do you believe it?"

Jia Cong didn't fall off the chair: "Huh?! What did you say?" Zeng was silent.Jia Cong shuddered, and forced a smile, "That...it's all over..."

Zeng laughed: "It's been so many years, so there's no need to mention it." Jia Cong was a little embarrassed.It was Mrs. Zeng who said, "I've never met General Xiao Zhong before. I only heard about how his uncle and nephew broke the bandits. They are very heroic."

Jia Cong blinked: "Well, hero worship." Nai turned his head and looked at Chen Ruijin with bright eyes.

Chen Ruijin said: "My man is good at sweet talk. I have cotton ears, so I let him coax me."

Several people chuckled in unison.Wei Ruoheng smiled and said: "Come on, come on, don't talk about it, let's get another local ruffian to coax you to see that you can look up to you or not."

Jia Cong knocked on the table twice: "Actually, there is an innate condition for me to catch up with Ruijin, and Brother Wei to catch up with Mrs. Wei." He sat upright and said seriously, "We have all eliminated competitors." After a pause, "Ruijin's character is on display. In the early years, no other men chased after her. One is that she seldom shows her face in front of others and others cannot touch her. The other is that she often pretends to be my maid, so she can see her Men don't know what to do with her. Then I started chasing her. With my reputation and status, who would dare to rob me?" Chen Ruijin glanced at him.Jia Cong looked at Wei Ruoheng, "Brother Wei is the same. As the most powerful water bandit in Taihu Lake, who would dare to snatch a girl if he fell in love with him? One of the biggest characteristics of love is exclusiveness. My woman does not allow others to marry her." Coveting, my man forbids others to get involved. However, in the Taiwan government, no child sent by Wu Guo has such an innate advantage—unless our Menger wants to chase someone."

Chen Ruijin said: "According to the letter I wrote to my sister, I can help that boy from Wu State to get acquainted with the princess of Shu State."

Jia Cong shook his head with a smile and said, "You don't know. You wrote in your letter that it was a child from the 'Chen family', and you didn't want Chen Ruiwen's. If it wasn't a child from the Chen family, why bother with that? Naturally, you will lose your mind. Regardless of Wu Guo You don’t have to help anyone you choose. Only Yuanyuan, even if you don’t help him, maybe I will help him—I have friendship with Big Brother Wei. Besides, Sister-in-law Wei also has friendship with Sister Lin. Although Sister Lin The war is over, but Uncle Lin is still here. Yuanyuan is a cute kid, and my third sister likes him too. And Tuantuan is also planning to come over from Malay to study. Menger Quaner, my father, and my brother all know him, he Being able to find a large group of powerful elders and friends in Taiwan to help him. Having been to Dajiala and being loved by many people in power in Dajiala is Yuanyuan’s biggest advantage. This advantage can be decisive.”

Mrs. Zeng thought: "The Princess of Shu State just arrived in Taiwan, and she is not familiar with the place. Young Master Wei can teach her to help her a lot. Others are all confused." Wei Ruoheng and the others nodded unconsciously.

Zhen Yinglian suddenly said: "But... is this trying to trick the King of Wu?"

Wei Ruoheng said inexplicably, "That's right, Yuanyuan can't really be a county horse."

Zhen Yinglian said anxiously: "The Princess of Shu will have to go back to the country sooner or later. By then, Yuanyuan will not be a county horse, will the prince blame her?"

Jia Cong couldn't help laughing: "King Wu is so old, he probably won't live long enough for you to return to Wu. My sister-in-law stays in Dajiala with peace of mind, and we will do the rest." Zhen Yinglian blushed again.

Chen Ruijin said: "Let's start from here, and my sister will blow the pillow wind. That's it." Everyone said a few more words, then the meeting ended and the door of the study was opened.

I saw a servant waiting outside, saw the door opened, and immediately came back: "General, Mr. Chen Ruiwen has been waiting for the general for a long time."

Everyone was taken aback, and all went to look at Chen Ruijin.Wei Ruoheng asked: "What did he say?"

"No, just said he wanted to see the general. He was very angry."

Wei Ruoheng thought for a while, then smiled, waved his hands and said, "It's okay, I'm probably here to ask Master Xing for his crimes. You just don't know what to do, so I'll send him away."

Chen Ruijin asked, "What happened to you?"

"Yesterday I made a rumor about him in front of the prince." Wei Ruoheng smiled, "I said that he did a lot of stupid things in the Taiwan government and completely humiliated the prince."

Jia Cong said: "In all fairness, he is quite decent there, and he is not pretending to understand."

Wei Ruoheng laughed and said, "I just coaxed the prince to say that he doesn't understand and pretends to understand." Then he picked up his feet and went outside.

Jia Cong was curious, turned around and said with a smile: "Ladies, play by yourself, I'll eavesdrop!" Then he chased Wei Ruoheng away.

Wei Ruoheng's footsteps were faster than Jia Cong's, and Jia Cong chased him for a long time before catching up.After he rushed out of the hall, he slowed down and tiptoed to the lattice door to put his ear on it.Then I heard Chen Ruiwen yelling inside: "Why on earth are you slandering me in front of the prince!"

Wei Ruoheng said slowly: "Didn't I tell you? I'm bothering you."

Chen Ruiwen roared: "I'll sue you to the prince!"

Wei Ruoheng still said slowly: "Please go ahead. I don't know if the prince believes you or not."

"My surname is Wei, don't you forget who my sister is."

Wei Ruoheng clapped his palms and smiled: "I remember, remember clearly. Please feel free, Mr. Chen, you can sue the prince or the sister as you like, and you can sue which girl you want."

Chen Ruiwen yelled, "Just wait!" He slammed the door and went out, Jia Cong dodged in the corner but he didn't see it.Wei Ruoheng slowly came out with his hands behind his back, and looked at Jia Cong with a smile that was quite evil.
