The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Jia Cong and others rushed to Chengdu during the starry night, and quietly entered a small house near Qingyang Palace.Not long after, Liu Feng hurried over, looked at the two of them and smiled: "Do you remember coming back to Chengdu last time?"

"Remember!" Jia Cong put his arms around Chen Ruijin's waist, "The two of us just started dating last time. Hey, how about you? Do you have any clues about your personal problems? The Kingdom of Shu has beautiful women since ancient times."

"Not for the time being." Liu Feng said, "If you have it, let everyone know." Nai looked at the two of them, "You have to rest for a while."

Jia Cong looked at Chen Ruijin, and Chen Ruijin said, "Talk about what's going on first." Liu Feng nodded.

Situ Cen's marriage was not a small matter, and everyone who should be alarmed was alarmed.Jia Cong knew the woman's elders, she was the niece of Qiu Liang, an important minister of the Shu Kingdom.Qiu Liang came from Jingtian Hou Mansion and raised three sons; his second brother had only one son, but his third brother had two sons and a daughter.After Situ Cen got engaged to Miss Qiu's family, the best merchants and workshops in Chengdu all helped prepare the dowry, and they were very busy.Over the years, the merchant party under Liu Feng has gradually become a force, and anyone who wants to know can know.Then I checked the two bought things.Taking a closer look at the two booklets, Liu Feng noticed something was wrong.

First reveal the clues of the ring.The Qiu family's dowry included eight pairs of gold-seat pearl and gemstone rings, and Situ Cen himself went to the Silver House to order the rings.About a while ago in Dajiala, after listening to Jia Cong's wind, he ordered a Western diamond ring and drew the blueprint himself.They had custom-made rings at two jewelry shops, but both of them were under Liu Feng's command.Liu Feng took a comparison - the ring ordered by the Qiu family was a bit smaller than that ordered by Situ Cen.Didn't Situ Cen know that his fiancée was fat and thin?Or do you think his sweetheart has gained weight?

Furthermore, Situ Cen's confidants searched everywhere for chess records, and Yong Zi ordered six sets at once, and bought a set of jade chess pieces handed down from the previous dynasty at a high price at a jade shop.In addition, after Situ Cen got married, he immediately bought a factory of ironware, and hired a few handy carpenters, saying that it was for making toys.He also bought a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city and bought a dozen pregnant mares and foals.However, in the Qiu family's dowry, there was nothing that matched "chess" or stubborn weapons, they were all ordinary dowry.Although it is very valuable, it looks weird.The three brothers of the Qiu family all got a girl, and it is well known that everyone cherishes it like a treasure; the dowry is too standard.

Liu Feng pinched the brochure and speculated for half a day, and ordered someone to investigate the eldest lady of the Qiu family.The third master of the Qiu family was born in the second class, and now he is in charge of the school in Chengdu.Miss Qiu is also quite dazzling among the noble daughters of the Shu Kingdom, she is very talented and beautiful, and she almost became the imperial concubine back then.Later, he suddenly became ill for two years, and then gradually recovered.Although she is a little older now, there are still many suitors.It's just that the Qiu family didn't agree until Situ Cen came back this time.I found a few wives, grandmas, and ladies with long tongues to inquire around, and they all said that Ms. Qiu was lively, tall, proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and loved to play.

He made someone sneak into the back house of Qiu's house and walk around for a while, and he felt more and more something was wrong.The eldest lady is about to get married, but she was actually sent by the master to a Taoist temple on Qingcheng Mountain to cultivate herself!Tell the people below that he made a wish in front of Sanqing when he was ill a few years ago, and now he still wishes to go.And the third wife got such a good son-in-law, she shed tears day and night, and she lost two circles of weight; the younger brother of the eldest daughter also sighed.

Liu Feng then bought Mrs. Qiu San's previous nun, and ordered her to send news whenever there was trouble.More than ten days later, the nanny said that Mrs. Qiu San lost her temper and smashed everything in the house, but she kept her mouth shut and refused to tell the people around her why she was angry.The next day, the third wife went to the big room with a livid face and dressed up, and came back with a livid face, crying for two hours, her voice was hoarse.

Jia Xu sent "Rangerer" in the Kingdom of Shu, and he was a colleague with Liu Fengben.Liu Feng then asked him to go to the big room of the Qiu family to conduct a secret investigation.That person was also a child of Ouchi Liu's family, and he got the crux of the matter that night.Mrs. Qiu San went to the big house during the day in order to go through the ancestral hall to collect her daughter.It turned out that Miss Qiu once had a concubine sister who died young.The Qiu family found a girl in the side branch, and asked the third wife to take her under her knees.That girl looks very pretty, and she looks smart too, sitting in the small yard at night and muttering: The family wants her to remember her "age" firmly, and she must not let it slip—I have a mother, Babaer Three and a half years older.

Looking further down, Fang brought out the three masters of the Qiu family and Princess Shu.It turned out that the four of them were unwilling to form this marriage.Princess Shu is afraid that Situ Cen's power will overwhelm the son, and the two brothers will turn against each other sooner or later; the Qiu family is also afraid that the son will become jealous of the son in the future, and is afraid that the son will have no children and will involve herself in it.In the early years, Prince Yizhong had something bad, Caishikou was stained red many times.Although the Qiu family avoided it, they were afraid of these things from the bottom of their hearts.But Situ Cen insisted on marrying this girl.It was useless for the elders to try their best to persuade them, so they had to come up with this bad policy.Choose a girl from the side of Qiu's family to take the name of the deceased concubine of Qiu's family, and ask the third wife to write it down as the daughter of Qiu's patriarch - the marriage certificate only has the surname and ranking, and does not write Qiu's boudoir name.Nian Geng was born on the same day as Miss Qiu, only one hour older.Anyway, Miss Qiu herself doesn't know when she was born, let alone Situ Cen.

After hearing this, Jia Cong couldn't help but laugh: "They still can't get around the subterfuge! They're not afraid of trying to see... Well, didn't Situ Cen find out when he lifted his hijab?"

Liu Feng said: "Situ Cen is not an obedient master, the princess must have a backup."

Jia Cong shook his head: "Crazy!"

Chen Ruijin gave him a sideways glance: "It doesn't hurt to stand and talk. The older a person is, the more worries he has."

Jia Cong touched the back of his head: "I want to gamble."

Liu Feng asked, "What are you betting on?"

"The son of a bet is worthy of Situ Cen's trust, and the emperor's family can still find two brothers." Jia Cong stood up, went to the desk and wrote a note with only four words on it: Let's meet.Nai turned the paper over, wrote the time and address on the back, and ordered people to send it to Shi Zifu.

Ordinary posts couldn't reach the prince's desk, so the paper was endless, and the shopkeeper of Jia's horse shop delivered it in person, and the prince took it.He saw that the address was the Daya Room where the two of them met when Jia Cong came to Taibai Building in the early years, and there was a line written on the back: It is best for the son to pay the bill, and it is fine for the late son to pay the bill.The prince thought for a while, he had seen Jia Cong's handwriting, so he remembered it.He knew that Jia Cong had a flamboyant temper, and he heard from the third child that the two of them had become friends now, but he didn't know why Jia Cong secretly wanted to see him.

The next day, the son went to Taibai Tower according to the time, and Jia Cong had been waiting for him for a long time.When the food and drink were served, Jia Cong motioned for all the servants to go down, and Fang Zheng asked: "Situ Cen's daughter-in-law, did the marriage be bestowed by the prince himself?"

The prince was startled: "He promised it."

Jia Cong frowned: "Yes, but you don't agree?"

The prince was a little confused: "What exactly does Mr. Jia mean?"

Jia Cong sighed, turned his head and stared at the window for a long time, Fang turned his head to look at Shizi and said, "I came today to test Shizi, to know whether it is worth it for Situ Cen to stay away from the West."

The son's breathing gradually increased, and he asked after a long time, "What's the matter."

Jia Cong said: "Since ancient times, infatuation hurts people the most. For some injuries, the first cut may not be fatal, but the second time it may not be fatal. Everyone has the unbearable lightness of life." Nai sat upright and said softly , "The concubine and the Qiu family teamed up to trick Situ Cen into changing the person he loves. The girl he likes has been sent away."

The prince was shocked: "Impossible! My father and king agreed."

Jia Cong twitched his lips: "Although your father agreed, he may not agree in his heart. The princess and the prince have been married for many years, and they are the most familiar with each other. Since she dares to kill first and play later, she must not be afraid of the consequences." Then he told the plan of the princess and the Qiu family. he listens.

The son is silent.After a while, he shook his head and said, "Confused!"

Jia Cong said: "As the saying goes, there is no better way to know a mother than a son. My son, let's see, after this incident, Situ Cen is furious, how will the princess end up?"

The prince smiled wryly and said: "How will it end, just deny it. At worst, she will cry, make trouble and hang herself, what else can the third child do to her?"

Jia Cong said: "In the name of my father Jia She, I promise to the son that I will teach your child to be a talent that will not lose to any emperor. In the name of Situ Cen's friend, I promise to the son that he will not lose to your son. Jin Guan has no interest, and does not want to send his own child to you for adoption. Can the prince help him? Most of the seven or eight billion people in the world will not meet a soul mate. If he can meet one, it may take ten lifetimes of cultivation. Then The new Qiu girl must be very good, after all, she is not the 'one' he loves." He paused, "There is one and only one beloved woman, this matter itself cannot be an emperor."

The prince shook his head and said, "I never doubted him. I know him."

"Since that's the case, are you willing to help him?"

The prince looked at Jia Conghuizi: "If I don't want to, Mr. Jia will help him."

Jia Cong nodded: "Yes. He did me a big favor." The prince asked with his eyes.Jia Cong lowered his head and smiled, "If you say it, you probably won't think it's a big favor. As far as I'm concerned, I'm really grateful to him—although I didn't say it." He paused for a while, then said with a smile, " Before my wife and I got married, she was unhappy for a while. I racked my brains and couldn't figure out why she was unhappy. In the end, it was Situ Cen who helped me figure it out. So I thought of many tricks to express my love, and gradually It made her feel at ease."

Sure enough, the prince said "you are kidding me" all over his face: "Is it because of this?"

Jia Cong smiled softly: "I knew you wouldn't understand." Nai raised the wine cup and took a sip, "I can't blame you. With your status, you don't dare to love. Besides, most of the women around you are sent by others. Yes, it comes too easily, and you won't cherish it. If you don't cherish it, you won't treat each other as equals. It's pitiful for you to be sons of the world."

The son couldn't help but laugh, and said: "Forget it, I know Mr. Jia's meaning." He thought for a while, "I will try to find the real Miss Qiu, and try to give it to the third child, how about it?"

Jia Cong said with a half-smile, "What about your identity? A beauty? A concubine?" He clapped his hands and said, "It's better like this. Just take it as your discovery, and go discuss it with Situ Cen to see what he means."

The prince drank a glass of wine, and asked leisurely: "How did Mr. Jia know such a confidential matter? Pinch his fingers?"

Jia Cong took out a letter from his pocket. "This is what we intercepted."

The letter is a family letter written by a restaurant accountant who is doing business in Shu to his wife, who lives in the capital.The prince looked at it for a long time and asked, "What's the matter?"

Jia Cong said: "This is a letter in cryptic language, and the recipient is a secret work established in the capital by the Tianshi Dao of Shu Kingdom." Then he took out another list, "This is a comparison list, you can read it yourself."

Shizi looked at the list and took a breath.What is written in the letter is that Princess Shu and the Qiu family worked together to sell the fiancée of His Highness the Third Highness of Shu.Miss Zhenqiu's wife is in Qingcheng Mountain at this moment, and that person discussed with the capital how to pin this matter on King Yan, so that the "surname Situ" can fight.Because "what Maitreya teaches today is the tomorrow of the way of heavenly masters".

Jia Cong said slowly: "It's so lively to wipe out the Maitreya Sect across the country, but your country of Shu is very leisurely. It's not surprising, Shu is the territory of the Tao of Heavenly Masters, and the Maitreya Sect is not so prosperous." He smirked again, " I don't know how many people are looking forward to your brothers falling out. Not necessarily only those who watch the fire from the other side, but also those who lead the fire."

The prince thought for a long time, squeezed the letter in his hand, and asked, "Do you have an envelope?"

Jia Cong took out the envelope from his pocket: "This address may not be real, you should check it yourself."

Shizi nodded: "I see."

Jia Cong looked at him and asked, "Have you two been honest?"

The prince was silent for a long time, and finally said: "He is honest, but I haven't."

Jia Cong shrugged: "You are so pitiful. No wonder Situ Cen is unwilling to adopt his son to you."

The prince stood up and bowed to the ground, Jia Cong returned the salute.The two of them couldn't eat anymore, so they said goodbye.

The prince left Taibai Tower and returned to the mansion, thinking about it over and over for a long time.Others only said that the son was not feeling well, so he sent someone to invite the doctor.At night, the prince suddenly ordered the third highness to come down.Situ Cen didn't know it, and ran over as if his brother had something to do with him.

The door led him to a secluded small courtyard in the Shizi Mansion, where a table full of food and wine had been set up, and dozens of candlesticks were burning around it as bright as day.Situ Cen glanced around and wondered, "Second brother is not usually frugal? Why are you lighting so many candles today?"

The prince said: "I suddenly felt that lighting more candles is not a big deal."

"It's not a big deal." Situ Cen sat down and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

The prince looked at him, and suddenly said: "Third son, you are going to get married."

Situ Cen laughed immediately: "That's right! I'm getting married! Be envious."

The son said: "I'm thinking, if the world is not divided, and the Supreme Emperor gives you a daughter from another family, how will you treat it?"

Situ Cen said sharply, "I'm running away from marriage~~ I'm sorry, second brother."

The prince frowned: "What about the mess?"

Situ Cen stopped his chopsticks and thought for a while: "I won't escape so clearly. I have hands and feet anyway, and I'm not stupid. The world is so big, are you afraid that the two of us won't be able to survive?"

The prince said: "If she is willing, there is nothing wrong with being your side concubine."

Situ Cen shook his head: "Second brother, you don't understand. Even if she is willing, I am not willing. What matters is not status, but intention. If you like someone, you should do your best not to make her feel wronged. Babaer waits for her to be willing Being wronged, it's because she likes me, not because I like her."
