The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Li Tao, the oiran of Hongxiangfang, invites Jia Cong to meet him. After hooking up for a long time, he understands that this person will not be seduced by female sex, so he leads him to the wing.Liu Xiaoqi laughed from behind.Jia Cong turned to look at him, he pointed at their clothes and smiled again.Li Tao was dressed in pink, and Jia Cong was dressed in pink. Standing together, Jia Cong looked very stupid.Jia Cong also laughed.

Li Tao looked at him and said, "Third Mistress probably chose this clothes for Third Master."

"I picked it myself." Jia Cong said, "Since seeing the oiran, it's natural to dress up like a dandy, right?"

Li Tao covered his mouth and smiled: "Even if the third master chose it himself, if we go to another place, the third grandma must let the third master replace it." Nai personally opened the curtain of the east wing room.

Jia Cong and Liu Xiaoqi entered the door and saw that it was actually a study.Jia Cong and Liu Xiaoqi looked at each other, guessing in their hearts that the oiran wanted to play some poems, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.Sure enough, Li Tao spread out the drawing paper and drew an outline on it, and with just a few strokes, he could recognize the person as Jia Cong.Jia Cong nodded frequently: "Like. With this ability, I can go to the government to be a painter of shadow graphics." Li Tao turned his head and gave him a look.Jia Cong continued, "It's just that I made the painting a little thinner and more handsome."

Liu Xiaoqi scribbled aside: "Third Master, wouldn't it be nicer to draw?"

Jia Cong said: "It's not like that, but it's more like Lian's second brother when he was young."

Liu Xiaoqi sneered and said: "Pull it down, Second Master Lian is more handsome than you at the moment."

Jia Cong said: "People have similar looks. If you change a little, maybe you will become another person. Seeking truth from facts is the essence of learning."

Li Tao was annoyed, and threw away the pen: "This is painting, who will study with you?" Jia Cong hurriedly bowed his hands and apologized.Li Tao gouged him out with his eyes, took out a booklet from the desk, and threw it to Jia Cong without saying a word.Only when Jia Cong held it in his hand did he realize that there were two books. He opened the top one and glanced at it, and was so startled that he jumped up.Li Tao put her fingers on her lips and "shh" lightly.Jia Cong's eyes widened, and he squeezed the spine of the book and looked at her.Li Tao said: "It's just a little clumsy work by my family. I'd like to ask Mr. Jia for advice." Jia Cong immediately lowered his head and turned to this book, which is full of poems.

Jia Cong patted the case: "Good poems!" After reading five or six poems in a row, he raised his thumbs up and looked up at Li Tao, "I don't think there is such a great talent hidden in the brothel, it's a pity!"

Li Tao saluted with a smile: "My family has little talent and learning, so I shouldn't be praised by my husband."

Jia Cong pursed his lips, and hurriedly flipped through a few pages: "It's such a good work, I have to copy it back and ponder it slowly. Next time the prince wants me to write an appropriate poem, can I buy you a poem? I will pay for the ghostwriting, and Give very high."

"No!" Li Tao pursed her lips, eyes flickering, "Just watch here."

Jia Cong touched his chin: "Oh!" He looked at Liu Xiaoqi, "Miss Li, may I borrow someone from your workshop?"

Li Tao tilted her head and looked at him: "Why?"

Jia Cong said: "I suddenly found out that I was rude. I came to visit the girl empty-handed. Please help me send someone to Su's mansion to find our little maid - we only brought the servant with us when we went out." People—ask her to buy eight kinds of dim sum. What does Miss Li like to eat?"

Li Tao glanced at him and hummed, "I won't tell you."

"Then let's not stick to any of the eight things. Anyway, it's the same meaning, etiquette must not be lost."

Li Tao said with a half smile but not a smile: "Mr. Jia must be a talented person. He didn't care about etiquette before, but he thought of etiquette after reading his poems."

Jia Cong said: "Isn't it right? If you're just an ordinary oiran, you really don't deserve eight dim sums. Now that you have this excellent work, you have to show your talents. Later students have to look at it with admiration, so that they will think about the rudeness in front of them. How capable are you?" , people will give you so much courtesy. If the girl has excellent eight-legged essays, I will add eight more."

"That's all." Li Tao snorted, "There are only eight kinds of dim sum." Then he called for someone to come.A little girl of twelve or thirteen came in.Jia Cong told her to go to Su Mansion to find Ling Dang, "about your age." The little girl readily agreed and left.

Jia Cong said sternly: "Miss Li, what I said just now was not a joke, but very serious. Would you like to consider my proposal?" Nai raised the two booklets in his hand, "Miss Li's works are full of grandeur, and are both With a sense of vicissitudes and Zen, it really doesn't look like a woman's handwriting. Talking about women, our Shenying waiter is not as transparent as a girl. I haven't written poetry for many years. Because I didn't have a poem name in my early years, and I was with the prince outside When we communicate, we often have to hand in corresponding poems. If a girl is willing to lend me a poem, I will pay a lot of ghostwriting fees. And one day, I will make the matter of borrowing your poems known to the world, and write for the girl. An anthology of poems. Your poems will still be yours in the future, and I will not take credit for them."

Li Tao looked at him in surprise for a long time: "Do you really want to show these to the prince?" Jia Cong nodded solemnly.Li Tao thought for a moment, "I want to see your own!"

Jia Cong rubbed the back of his head: "I really haven't written poetry for a long time."

"No matter!" Li Tao called another little girl to come in and ordered, "Take a stick of incense and light it." Nai looked at Jia Cong and said with a smile, "When the incense is gone, you must write a good poem."

"Oh, you are more powerful than the prince." Jia Cong said, "What kind of incense do you use? Don't make it too fragrant to affect your thinking."

The little girl said coquettishly: "If you dislike our fragrance, do you have fragrance yourself?"

Jia Cong spread his hands: "No."

Liu Xiaoqi reminded softly: "I remember the third grandma put some incense in the third master's purse."

"Oh, that's right." Jia Cong took off his purse, "It smells good." Then he took out the rue that Chen Ruijin had prepared for him before leaving the house.

Li Tao said sourly: "The third grandma is really virtuous."

Jia Cong said with a hey hey: "Let's be modest, the third in the world."

The little girl smiled and took Jia Cong's purse to Shi Ding.Not long after, the house was full of fragrance.Jia Cong asked Li Tao to bite the pen before the case.The little girl quietly looked at several people in the room, seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she took Jia Cong's purse and left.

It was really difficult for Jia Cong to write poems. It took him a long time to figure out four lines, but Li Tao was not allowed to read them.Li Tao clamored to read it, but Jia Congfei said that he would only show it after finishing writing.Liu Xiaoqi leaned against the door and watched coldly, when Li Tao was a little closer to Jia Cong, he coughed.Li Tao glared at him a few times, but he just turned a blind eye.Jia Cong whispered: "Let Ling Dang bring two loquat lozenges." Li Tao pursed his lips and smiled.Liu Xiaoqi rolled her eyes.

Suddenly someone outside said: "Mr. Jia's family has come." Before he finished speaking, the door curtain was opened, Bell was dressed in red, and he came in with four bags of snacks in each hand.

Jia Cong laughed and said, "This girl looks like a New Year's doll."

Li Tao hurriedly said: "Miss, you have worked hard." He ordered someone to take the snack quickly, and rewarded her with some copper coins.

Ling Dang saluted and thanked her, her big eyes rolled around, and after looking around the room, she looked at Liu Xiaoqi.Liu Xiaoqi pursed her lips and said, "Since you're here, it's better to serve the third master, don't let the master grind and pour tea for our gentlemen."

Li Tao covered her mouth and laughed together with her girl.After laughing, she said: "Forget it, since this is the case, the third master only got half of the poem, and there is still half. Let the third grandma's people serve." Then she sent her girl out.

Jia Cong casually handed the two booklets that Li Tao had given him to Bell, and said, "Go and rest with Xiao Qi. I don't need anyone to serve me when I write poems. come out."

Bell agreed, took the booklet in hand and retreated to Liu Xiaoqi's side.As soon as Liu Xiaoqi pouted, she stood on the inside and opened the booklet.Immediately also shocked.Looking at Jia Cong, Jia Cong was holding his pen and thinking hard; looking at Liu Xiaoqi, Liu Xiaoqi was staring at Li Tao and coughing again.Ling Dang was busy concentrating on reading the brochure.Li Tao took off the pipa, hugged her and sat by the window, plucking a piece like a song of swallows.

After a long time, Jia Cong wrote down the last few words, let out a long breath, put down his pen and said: "It can be regarded as complete. Writing poetry is too difficult."

Li Taoxi said: "Sir, have you finished writing?" He hurriedly came over, smiling and sticking out a section of white collar.Liu Xiaoqi coughed again.Li Tao just ignored him, and read softly, "If you don't respect yourself and cherish your body, pretending to be crazy will inevitably come true. I once whipped a famous horse because of drunkenness, for fear that I would be tired... Tired of beauty..." She stopped talking for a long time , slightly moved back two steps.

Jia Cong said sternly: "The brothel is not a place to stay for a long time after all. Miss Li, you can live a good life selling literature and paintings."

Li Tao's eyes turned red: "With my status, how can Mammy allow me to be a good man? Even if I am a good man, who would marry me from a good family?"

Jia Cong said: "Your mother's affairs are easy to handle. My senior brother is the magistrate, so it is not a problem to open a back door. Why do you have to be married? You can rely on your ability to eat, not on your face. You don't need a husband to support you. You support me." I have to live by myself. With the little portrait you painted for me just now, it is really not a problem to go to the Yamen to be a painter. Oh, the salary in the Yamen is less. You can be a door-to-door painter, which is quite expensive in Dajiala. Or To go to school and be a lady."

Li Tao lowered her head slightly, and said after a long time: "Since ancient times, marrying a Han, marrying a Han, dressing and eating..."

Jia Cong interrupted: "It's not that the habit from ancient times is right. Of course it's good to find a lover and wife. If you can't find it, you won't live?"

Li Tao burst into tears, picked up the pipa and plucked it a few times, singing softly.Jia Cong listened attentively, and it was Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing".This is a Changyuefu poem, sung slowly in a melodious tune, and it will take a long time to sing.Li Tao in the front was singing by himself, and when he sang "The silver bottle is broken and the water is pouring out, and the iron horse is protruding, the sword and gun are ringing", he suddenly looked straight at the bell hiding in the corner of the door.Immediately withdrew his gaze and looked out the window.Jia Cong's heart skipped a beat.

Li Tao sang "Pipa Xing" well, her face was full of tears.Jia Cong didn't know how to play musical instruments, so he picked up the porcelain paperweight on the desk, tapped it twice, and sang with a loud voice: "I once doubted me, walking in the desert, it never came to fruition, no matter what kind of dream..." In his mind Only the popular songs of later generations.Fortunately, there are a lot of inspirational songs with straightforward lyrics and uplifting style of music, such as this song The Sea and the Sky.At the end of the song, Liu Xiaoqi applauded loudly.

Li Tao watched Jia Cong for a long time, then slowly applauded, his eyes gradually brightened, and said: "Mr. Jia loves his wife very much?"

Jia Cong smiled: "Yes."

Li Tao tilted her head and said, "I also like you, what should I do."

Jia Cong said, "I suggest you look at other men."

Li Tao said seriously: "I really have a crush on you, believe me I can't compare to her."

Jia Cong shook his head: "It's not about buying things. There's nothing to compare them with. It's all about seeing different things."

Li Tao smiled and said, "What kind of flower is the third grandma?"

"She's not a flower." Jia Cong said, "She's a tree." Li Tao was taken aback.Jia Cong read, "In my backyard, I can see two trees outside the wall. One is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree." He explained, "She is someone who can stand by my side. I I don’t hesitate to spend money, and I don’t want to be a patron. You think I’m good, but I’m fairer to your occupation and gender than others. This is the nature of human beings to pursue equality. I don’t think a woman will fall in love with a little bit of fairness For a man, love is not that cheap. But..." He looked at Li Tao with a smile, "Do you want to leave this place and go to work in our Taiwan government? You are really talented."

Li Tao gently closed his eyes and shook his head.After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "What if I become a tree one day? Isn't a peach tree a tree?"

Jia Cong said: "If you work hard for this purpose, I believe you will find another peach tree that belongs to you."

Li Tao said earnestly with tears in his eyes: "I just need a little bit, a jujube branch can comfort my whole life."

"If you want so little, you won't be able to become a tree." Jia Cong would glance at the bell after a while.Seeing that the little girl was already standing with the booklet in hand, she knew she had finished reading it, so she stood up and said, "People who respect you will not protect you in the deep courtyard, and people who are in the golden house will not respect you, you cannot have both. You can weigh it yourself." Nai bowed his hands and said goodbye.

Li Tao suddenly laughed: "I was just joking, why should I run away immediately in fright?"

Jia Cong also smiled and said, "I'm a bit stupid. I can't tell the truth from the lie. I'm afraid I'll get into debts. It's not easy to pay back."

Li Tao snorted: "Since you entered my door, you have already messed with me."

Jia Cong shrugged: "Then I have no choice but to run."

Regardless of Liu Xiaoqi's earth-shattering cough, Li Tao leaned close to Jia Cong's ear and whispered: "Crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, heartless enemy!" He stretched out his hand to twist Jia Cong's waist.Immediately, he was stunned: Jia Cong's belt was protected by a ring, which was wide and hard and could not twist the flesh at all.

Jia Cong asked in a low voice: "Do you want to be a good man? If so, I'll go back and say hello to my brother."

Li Tao trembled slightly, lowered her head and shook her head, then smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "Lord Su, it's hard for the bodhisattva to cross the river now." Before Jia Cong could speak, she looked at the bell and said, "Oh, Do you still want this little girl to follow my poem? Return it to me quickly."

Jia Cong hurriedly said, "Isn't it okay to give you ghostwriting fees, hush money, and publishing fees?"

Li Tao snorted, "No way! Give it back to me."

Jia Cong had no choice but to say, "Hey, if you have money, don't you make money..." Bibi motioned for Bell to return the booklet.

Bell passed the booklet with both hands.Li Tao took it, glanced at Jia Cong, glanced at the pipa, glanced at the booklet in his hand, stared at Jia Cong again, and said with slight anger from the corner of his eyes: "It is clear that I can compose poetry, and I am better at it than me." Don't try to coax me." Suddenly, she leaned into his ear softly, "I said I have a crush on you, it's true."

Jia Cong shivered: "Then I'll run faster."

Li Tao raised her eyebrows: "I'm coaxing you to play tricks. If you are so henpecked, it's useless for me to hook up with you. It's a waste of effort to play."
