The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Situ Cen was worried that when his mother asked him to help his brother give birth to a son, the officers and soldiers on Mopan Mountain fought with the bandits.And the officers and soldiers are obviously at a disadvantage.Zhou Hu and General Sun thought that since their firearms had the upper hand, it would be easy to capture this mountain.I don't want the bandits to have firearms in their hands.Although there are not many, they often succeed in defending or attacking with the advantage of the mountain.It was originally a low mountain, and it could not be attacked for a long time. General Sun gradually became anxious.Zhou Hu persuaded: "Fang Xiong is also a military commander. The men and horses under his command must not be ordinary bandits, but serious officers and soldiers." Waishan.

The king of Shu was very anxious when he got the report.After thinking about it again and again, I sent another general to go there, ordering a quick battle and a quick decision not to leave a bandit.Situ Cen didn't know about this at first, and was skipping work at home to be lazy.The crown prince sent an important aide to tell him, and asked the third highness what he thought.Situ Cen said casually, "Why bother to kill chickens with a sledgehammer." But at this moment Jia Cong came.

Situ Cen just sent away the two borrowed women his mother had given him yesterday, and Mrs. Qiu sent someone to tell Chen Ruijin;Since he came, Situ Cen naturally asked him about the matter casually.Jia Cong thought for a long time after hearing this, and looked at the staff: "You are a caring person, aren't you?"

The aide said with a smile: "It counts."

Jia Cong said: "Go back and tell Shizi that polishing Panshan this time probably won't achieve what he wanted, so he should hurry up and send another person to Fuping County to destroy County Magistrate Tian and search his home."

Situ Cen could not help but sit upright: "What's going on?"

Jia Cong smiled wryly and said: "What General Sun said is true. The enemy camp is dangerous and narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and has a lot of food reserves. It is the best policy to encircle the mountain inch by inch and suppress it slowly. The two groups of men and horses will join together. It is impossible to say that they will rebel. If you are caught by the bandits, if you don’t run away, you have to run away from the main criminal. There are bandits all over the world, and I don’t know how many families are raising officials and bandits. What is the use of the prince? What he wants is the property that Fang Xiong hid Mr. Tian of Fuping was originally a bandit, and those in that line of work are the best at escaping. The owner who can get 50 silver bills at will definitely have more than that. The prince copied him quickly, how much can he get? No matter how much the benefit counts, comfort and comfort the prince's heart of failing to seek wealth."

Situ Cen said: "Zhou Hu is highly skilled in martial arts and knows the way, can he go secretly to the bandit camp and catch the female bandit leader first?"

Jia Cong's eyes lit up: "It's also a way! It's just that the bandits' lair must be heavily guarded now. If it doesn't work, the life of the guards is the most important thing. And the female bandit leader [-]% doesn't know where the things are hidden."

Situ Cen wondered, "She doesn't know?"

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "Otherwise, why is her brother still alive?"

Situ Cen let out an "oh" and glanced sideways at him: "That fellow Taoist of yours..."

Jia Cong said casually: "I left a few years ago. But..." He frowned slightly, and said after a while, "He has a strange temperament, he must have been forced to leave."

Situ Cen and his staff looked at each other: "Isn't he from the Fang family?"

Jia Cong smiled wryly, "Have you never seen a black-eyed chicken fighting among themselves?"

Situ Cen snorted, "If you fall into that position, you still have to fight among yourself."

Jia Cong said: "Without that sum of money, the trees will fall and the monkeys will be scattered; there is something attractive, and there must be internal fighting." Nai shook his head, "The Fang family, starting from Fang Xiong, has demonstrated its strength all the way through self-inflicted crimes." Hearing what he said was certain, she stood up and said goodbye, and went back to Shizi's mansion.

Hearing that the young man led the man away, Jia Cong looked at Situ Cen and said, "Just pretend you're not ambitious, but don't pretend too much."

Situ Cen raised his legs: "Do you believe me when I say that I really have no ambition?"

"Do not believe."

Situ Cen sighed, "I said I really wanted to play for another month. I just got married!" Nai complained, "We should be on our honeymoon now."

"Anyway, the meaning of the son is very clear today. He is happy that you come out to participate in the military affairs." Jia Cong stretched his waist, "By the way, my wife wants someone from your daughter-in-law, that brave little girl, It's called Jingle."

Situ Cen thought for a while: "Let's make a bell."

"Oh, Bell. The maidservants all have similar names."

Situ Cen frowned slightly: "My daughter-in-law likes that girl very much. Why doesn't your daughter-in-law bring anyone with her when she comes out?"

"It's troublesome, we only bring bodyguards when we go out." Jia Cong said, "You just help with a message, borrow it as an envoy, and let it be if you don't want to. All the maids in your Shu Kingdom have low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and speak in a soft voice. Just looking at it makes me lose energy. Pay her back when we are leaving?"

Situ Cen smiled and said: "It's just a maid, you can take it with you on the way, what's the point?" He thought for a while, "I'd better ask her."

"Yeah." Jia Cong waved his hand, "Go, go!"

Situ Cen went to the back to see his wife.Mrs. Qiu was taken aback when she heard that, "Mr. Jia is here to ask for a bell for Third Grandma and me?"

Situ Cen said: "The maidservants in their Taiwan government are all very brave and bold, and one of them served as an envoy to the three of us. It was about a while and a half that we couldn't find a satisfactory and credible one in Chengdu. Jia Cong said to return you when he left."

Mrs. Qiu thought for a while: "A little girl, how can I let others pay it back. Besides, Grandma Jia San not only helped us both so much, but also saved my life. Man said that if I want one slave, a hundred will be fine." It's easy to talk about." Immediately ordered a big maid next to him to tell Ling Dang to pack up his things and go with Mr. Jia.He also ordered Xun Lingdang's body deed to be handed over.

All of a sudden, Ling Dang came over to kowtow to Mrs. Qiu with tears in her eyes.Qiu ordered her to reward her with ten taels of silver, and said: "Grandma Jia San is the most capable, and the people she serves in the Taiwan government are worth three. Now I have a crush on you, so I know you are smart. You have to live Serve, be smart and not be stung by scorpions." Bell bowed his head in response.Qiu thought about the meeting and said, "Mr. Jia has a background. You may have something to do with his grandma. It's just that you must not have the idea of ​​clinging to the master."

Ling Dang hurriedly said: "Slaves absolutely dare not!"

Qiu said: "I know, but I just told you in vain. I see that you and your sister are not on the same side, otherwise I would not dare to make you, nor would I dare to send you to grandma Jia San." Nai waved her away. up.

Ling Dang originally came here as a dowry with Mrs. Qiu, so she didn't have many belongings.Jia Cong and Situ Cen were discussing the rectification of the bureaucracy, and they didn't have time to take her back immediately, so they borrowed Situ Cen's carriage to take her back to Jia's horse shop and handed her over to Chen Ruijin.

Chen Ruijin liked this little girl quite a lot, so he asked her "what's your surname", "Is Ling Dang your real name?"

"Oh, what's your family's name?"

Ling Dang bowed her head and said, "Call Zhimo."

Chen Ruijin was startled: "What's your name?"

The circles of the bell's eyes were already red: "The slave is called Zhimo at home. The slave was talkative when he was young, and my father disliked the noise of the slave, and wished that the slave would be quiet, so he took this name."

Chen Ruijin looked at her and said, "This is not a name obtained by ordinary slaves. Where did you come from?" Ling Dang immediately shed tears, and her head drooped even lower.Chen Ruijin then ordered her to get up and sit down to talk.

It turned out that the father of the bell was a second-class Jinshi, and the official residence was the magistrate of Luzhou County.Her uncle, who was an official in Chengdu, voted for the fourth son of the King of Shu by mistake.Shizi is quite patient in doing things.When the fourth child showed his intentions, the son did not wipe out all his people in one go, but slowly caught the mistakes and investigated and dealt with them according to the law; if they were right, he tried to lure them to make mistakes.Although Ling Dang's uncle was cautious, he still fell into the trap.Even though his father was incorruptible, he still had to sit in.The uncle beheaded, the rest of the men were sent to hard labor, and all the female relatives were bought by officials.

When she was in prison, Ling Dang's cousin taught her how to smear herself to make her look ugly, so as not to be bought by the brothel;Ling Dang was puzzled and said: "Didn't my sister say that the big family's servants are chaotic and intriguing?" The cousin smiled bitterly and said: "You and I look like me. If we enter a small family, I will immediately let the master look. You can't escape the age of thirteen or fourteen. There are many people in a big family, so there are many changes." Because the master and the slave were locked together, the sisters fooled the little official who was in charge of the officials and sold them, and treated them as maids of the uncle's house Send it to the market, and finally let Master Qiu San buy it.

Parents and relatives are all missing, and the two sisters depend on each other.Ling Dang is lively and lovely by nature, and her elder sister is outstanding in appearance and doesn't like to fight. The first two years passed fairly smoothly.until last year.Even though Ling Dang's cousin lied and reported that she was two years younger when she entered the mansion, and she had been working as a rough servant girl, she had reached the age to be a boy.There are so many men taking aim at her cousin, I'm afraid they won't be able to hide.The cousin was originally a beautiful person, and she really didn't want to marry a wretched and vulgar person, so she begged the woman in charge to let her comb herself.The woman agreed with her mouth, but secretly collected money from several companies.It happened that a forty-something steward lost his wife and fell in love with her.The mother-in-law happily went to her cousin to say her congratulations.When the cousin heard about it, she knew she was doomed.Nai dazedly opened his eyes and said to Lingdang: "I thought the big family would be better off, but I was wrong. A slave is a slave, and everyone is the same."

Half a month later, the uncle of the Qiu family suddenly wanted to take a girl as his concubine, and it was the cousin of the Shen family.Ling Dang still doesn't know what her cousin did.It's just that men have to be busy with other things after all.Grandma Qiu had already found out who her cousin was, she turned her head and told the uncle, "I really can't find it", and ordered the servant girl from the whole family to stand in front of him to let him find it.Uncle Qiu really looked at the maidservants in the whole family. There is really no cousin with a bell - the night before last, the cousin had already rationed a dumb man in his 60s who cleaned the toilets, so she would be considered a wife, not a maid .

Ling Dang was also ignorant when she was at home in her early years. After being imprisoned and serving as a slave for two years, she already understood a lot.She didn't want to follow in the footsteps of her cousin sister, so she tried to show her cleverness in front of the eldest girl, and finally she was picked by Mrs. Qiu and kept by her side.After going back and forth several times, he was sent to Jia's house.

After hearing this, Chen Ruijin breathed a sigh of relief: "I see. I will order someone to inquire about your father. He is innocent and talented, so he should not be buried. Nowadays, there is a shortage of talents everywhere."

Bell was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed more than a dozen heads: "I am willing to be a cow and a horse for grandma!"

Chen Ruijin waved his hand and said, "You don't have to do everything for me. You have a good memory and never forget. I can use it."

Bell heard it and said immediately: "My sister also has a good memory! She can't forget too!"

Chen Ruijin frowned: "Understood. If she really has talent, she can be used."

Ling Dang was so happy that she shed tears again, and said after a while: "Grandma, my sister didn't intend to hook up with the uncle..."

"Understandable." Chen Ruijin shook his head, "I'll check her anyway."

Jia Cong didn't come back until almost dinner time.After the young couple ate, Chen Ruijin told about Ling Dang and his sister.Nai said with emotion: "Sure enough, it's better for your future generations."

Jia Cong pursed his lips: "Civilization is mostly moving forward. Sex discrimination in later generations is still not small, but the profession of slavery has basically disappeared. And women in later generations have the right not to get married. This is what they are compared to now. The happiest part of a woman." He thought for a while, and said, "In later generations... Sister Lin is quite famous. Although she died early." Chen Ruijin looked up at him.Jia Cong thought for a while, and said, "Later generations often regret her early death. As everyone knows, early death is also luck for her. If she didn't die, no matter... whoever she marries, if the four families of Jia Shi Wang Xue fall, she will also die." You can't escape being betrayed by an official. Whether it's being sold into a prostitute, a concubine, or a maid, she can't let her marry any man, and that is the worst."

Chen Ruijin rested his cheeks in a daze for a long time, then suddenly said: "I'm hesitating whether to help that cousin Lingdang."

"Aren't you afraid to use it? Afraid of being unstable?"

"Well. The things my cousin taught the bell in the prison... It can be seen that she has learned a lot of tricks. She will lose in the Qiu family. One is that she is in a slave position and she is too weak, and the other is that Grandma Qiu is brave enough—an ordinary woman Most people dare not disobey their husbands."

Jia Cong nodded: "Theoretically, her strategy shouldn't be defeated."

"The bell is still young, and her cousin may not always tell her what's on her mind. Mrs. Qiu loves talent and is careful. Since she has taken the bell, she must know how to check it. Even if she can't be found out that she is a young lady of the Shen family - this section is written by their sisters. The two were changed before they were sold into Qiu's house. A young lady in the back house of the Qiu family has no ability to find out what happened outside; she must also know what the cousin did. If the cousin is as innocent as the bell said, she Why not save my cousin together? She also has the talent of never forgetting, wouldn't it be very useful to have a daughter-in-law who is in charge?" Chen Ruijin said leisurely, "If I guessed correctly, that cousin of the Shen family It was the idea of ​​the younger brother of the Qiu family, the second master of the Qiu family. In ordinary wealthy families, the maids who are well served by the master's side, and the maids who are rough outside, will be a few years later in marriage. The cousin never thought that she would be so I'm going to be married soon. I can't decide what to do, and the options are all crooked. Things happened suddenly, and I had to find the uncle."

Jia Cong thought for a while: "Send a telegram and ask Uncle Wu. You see, she is smart, beautiful, resourceful, eager to climb up, and never forgets. Isn't that the same for the aunt Liu Yunxi who was sent to Niu's house? Uncle Wu said that this kind of female agent is the most rare, and it is difficult to train one out of a hundred. Anyway, I think she is more suitable as an agent than Meiji——Meiji is too young, I feel guilty for Amitabha. Instead of sending her into Wu Wangfu, replace Mei Ji?"

Chen Ruijin couldn't help laughing: "15 years old is really not young! Don't just take any girl and compare it with Jia Gui from your family. That's all, since that's the case, I'll get her out first to see what kind of virtue it is."
