The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

One day Jia Cong was thinking about saying goodbye to Mr. Su Zheng when Chen Ruijin suddenly received a telegram that Jia Tanchun was going to get married.Jia Cong was shocked: "Who is she going to marry?!"

Chen Ruijin looked at the telegram with a sullen face: "It's from my family, also surnamed Chen, named Chen Sen."

Jia Cong was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "No way! That little brat!"

Chen Ruijin laughed: "I've seen that he is interested in Tanchun, but you haven't even thought about it!"

The name Chen Sen was taken by Yuan Chun.This person is a descendant of the earliest immigrants from Taiwan, a native of Fujian.The family was originally a county eunuch, and his great-grandfather was also a county magistrate.When he was young, his father fell ill and spent all his money on diagnosis and treatment, and finally passed away two years later.His mother was cowardly and incompetent, and she shed tears all day long, but she was gone for a year.At that time, Chen Sen was less than ten years old, and he brought a four-year-old younger brother with him, relying on the support of the clan to survive.There are many children who bully the two of them, so they have to endure it.

Children are inevitably naughty, and occasionally they go out of their way.Once, when Chen Sen went to the Ancestry School, several children led his younger brother out to play, and they started playing with fire in the house.Afterwards, a full half of the street was burned.The other children all blamed his younger brother for setting the fire; his younger brother was too young to make excuses, and no one believed his excuses.The parents of the children in each family knew what was going on, but for the sake of their children's reputation, they refused to tell the truth.The father of the child who took the lead in playing with fire called the rest of the family to jointly compensate the neighbors for the loss, and with the help of the family, the money was not difficult.There was an old woman in a neighbor's house who had inconvenient legs and feet, and she was burned to death without escaping.Her son refused to give up and insisted on suing the officials.In order to explain to others, the clan had no choice but to expel his younger brother from the clan.Chen Sen couldn't stand this grievance, and volunteered to leave the clan with his younger brother.

The old patriarch persuaded him: "You are the most talented child of the whole clan. What a pity that you can't study after leaving the clan?"

Chen Sen gritted his teeth and remained silent, he was in a hurry and only said: "The grandson's disciple is not strict, it is the grandson's fault for allowing him to cause such a catastrophe." Everyone tried to persuade him again and again, but he just refused to listen.

There is the most naughty uncle of the clan, who usually only likes to eat, drink and fight without doing his job, and he also depends on the clan for food.But then he sneered and said: "It's fine for outsiders to bully orphans, even the children of our own clan have wronged children, and they have to force them to bear it. I don't know if there is any reason." Looking at Chen Sen, he said, "Your uncle and I are just idlers. I haven't been studying since I was seven years old, and I'm the most hopeless. Boy, I heard that Taiwan's prefect issued a wasteland reclamation order to reclaim land, and the children still have Shunian. I want to try my luck. I don't even have a wife anyway. One, bachelors come and go. Do you want to go with me?"

Chen Sen immediately kowtowed: "I beg my uncle to support me, my nephew will definitely repay me in the future."

The uncle of the family said: "It's not a matter of support. After all, you two will eat first, and uncle will eat later."

The patriarch and the rest of the clan couldn't stay, so the two brothers finally decided to follow the clan uncle.Before leaving, the father of the leading kid who was playing with fire wanted to give Chen Sen some money, but Chen Sen refused to accept it.The clan uncle rushed to accept it, and said to Chen Sen: "I took it, not you. I will keep the amount in mind, and I will pay him back in the future. It has nothing to do with you two."

When they arrived in Taiwan, most of the immigrants went to remote areas to open up wasteland, and the land around Chengtian Mansion had long since disappeared.The clan uncle actually spent the money given by that person to buy two acres of land on the outskirts of Chengtian Mansion.At that moment, Chen Sen thought that the clan uncle was crazy.The uncle of the clan laughed and said, "I have my own plans." After that, the uncle of the clan seemed to be a different person.Diligently open up wasteland and grow potatoes, ask old farmers for advice if they don't know how, and even go to Chengtian Mansion to do odd jobs to make money.The originally delicate hands were covered with calluses in less than two months.

Chen Sen soon knew why the clan uncle wanted to buy the outskirts of Chengtian Mansion.In the beginning, when the government of Taiwan built compulsory education schools, it was impossible to have schools everywhere, but there must be ones near Chengtian Mansion.In September of that year, Chen Sen and his younger brother both went to study.Chen Sen is extremely talented. He has studied ethnology earlier and is willing to work hard. He stands out from the crowd in the blink of an eye.In the first semester, Chen Sen got the first place in the school for two homework tests, and the principal rewarded him with two charcoal pencils.I heard from the teacher that all the homework is good, and the magistrate will give you a scholarship.So he worked hard to make up for the bad courses.Two years later, Chen Sen skipped the junior high school entrance examination and got No.6 in Taiwan.

As a reward, he received a scholarship of [-] yuan, and accompanied the principal to visit Starfleet Academy.Jia Yuanchun met these good seedlings in person and asked them what they were called.The names of Chen Sen and his younger brother used to be based on the genealogy, but they didn't want to use them after leaving the family, so they changed their names to Chen Dalang and Chen Xiaolang.Yuan Chun thought it was his baby name, so he personally named him Chen Sen.After entering junior high school, the school is better.Chen Sen made a triumphant return with red flags all the way, and finally became the youngest intern of Xiaoxiang Hall.

Then... he became the assistant to Minister of Finance Jia Tanchun.

Chen Sen is almost five years younger than Tanchun.Even though they usually looked at their ministers with admiration, no one took it seriously.Tanchun has always been self-sufficient, and has never had a partner.Jia Cong thought that this elder sister might want to be a single nobleman, but she didn't expect to eat tender grass.

Jia Cong didn't know what it was like for a while, and said after a while: "That kid is a little shorter..."

Chen Ruijin gave him a sideways glance: "It's as if you're tall." Jia Cong hecked twice and fell silent.Chen Ruijin said again, "Aunt Zhao may not be willing if the third sister wants to marry one of her subordinates."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "What does she know, just talk nonsense and coax her over. Or ask King Yan to appoint an official to his great-grandfather?"

"Don't." Chen Ruijin said, "We also know his background, so we may not be willing to get involved with the clan. Besides, he is no longer the kid who left his hometown, so he must have his own plans."

"Never mind."

The two of them went to Su Zheng's courtyard, bid farewell to the old man and announced the good news.Sure enough, Su Zheng couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Your third sister is leaving the cabinet? Great joy, great joy!" Then he asked Xu's family.Jia Cong then wentssip about Chen Sen.Su Zheng patted the case, "The patriarch is so confused!"

Coincidentally, Su Zheng's grandson was also there.The young boy puffed out his chest and acted like a grown-up: "Since we know that Mr. Chen is the most talented in their clan, but let him suffer such a big loss for no reason, the clan leader is also ignorant."

Su Zheng was shocked, and shouted at the same time as Jia Cong: "What did you say?!"

The child was at a loss: "I said, the patriarch has clearly seen Mr. Chen's extraordinary talent, so he still suffers... Don't bully the young man to be poor."

Jia Cong and Su Zheng looked at each other and asked, "Who taught you this idea?"

The child became more and more confused: "Who taught me?"

Su Zheng frowned: "Forget it, I guess I didn't learn it overnight. Fortunately, your former husband stayed in Chu State." He ordered someone to call Su Cheng over.

Suddenly Su Cheng came, and he was very happy when he heard that the third aunt got married, so he asked who the lucky man was.Jia Cong slowly recounted it from the beginning.After hearing this, Su Cheng sighed: "This is the man who has paid off."

Su Zheng stroked his beard and said, "It's a pity that their clan has lost a great talent."

Su Cheng said: "It's just that they don't have the ability to acquire great talents. Even if they live in their house, they won't be able to stay."

Chen Ruijin smiled and said: "If there is no incident about the child playing with fire, I can keep it."

Su Cheng shook his head: "It's useless even if you keep it. There is an example in front of you: Isn't the Lao family just like that? There is a Lao Fuhe, the Minister of the Household Department! How many ministers can the whole country get? Lao Fu and being an official are not at all uncomfortable." It is appropriate, and the price and luck are good. In the end, he is the only one who benefits. Even his own brother was messed up by a woman. The Lao family is the same as the Chen family. Even a genius can't raise a family. In a peaceful and prosperous age, nothing will happen, but in a chaotic world, Penghao will be scattered."

Jia Cong cupped his hands solemnly and said, "I wish to hear Mr. Su's opinion."

Su Cheng also cupped his hands in a serious manner, coughed twice, and said: "The orphans in the clan can be supported, and the males can study ethnology. These two guarantee that the children of the family will not be too bad. For no reason, a little bit of wind and grass is hard to come by." Let them down, so there is nothing to worry about. However, if a major event cannot be decided fairly, it will force away the backbone of their family. In troubled times, there is a big typhoon, how can we survive without a backbone? It will be scattered in all directions."

Her younger brother thought: "Sister, what do you mean, Mr. Chen Sen could have been the backbone of the Chen family, but they drove him away?"

"No." Su Cheng said, "Chen Sen is not. If there is no such thing as children playing with fire, Chen Sen can only add to the family's icing on the cake and be similar to Lao Fuhe; his uncle who is a leisurely Han is the backbone of the Chen family. He can stand up and stand up for the whole family and even the people of the whole family."

Jia Cong clapped his hands and praised, "I didn't even think of this one!"

Su Zheng laughed so much that his beard and eyebrows trembled, and said: "The most rare thing is the word 'come forward', which is very responsible. And he is not a reckless man, he has already made up his mind. If the father of the child is not accepted For money, Chen Sen may be a few years late in his studies, so he might be delayed."

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Grandfather, I don't think he had planned long ago to buy land in the outskirts of Chengtian Mansion. In case the rumors are wrong and the Taiwan government is not preparing to educate the children of the common people, he can still take those money. The money is sending Chen Sen and his brothers to a private school."

Su Zheng nodded more and more: "Yes, what you said is very true!" Nai turned to look at his grandson, "Do you know where you are inferior to sister?"

The child thought for a while: "My sister understands things better than me."

Su Zheng shook his head and said, "Your sister's vision is farther than yours, and she can see clearly. You only talk about success or failure, good or bad, but you don't see the root cause. Remember, the mean is not necessarily good, too much mean will damage the top .” His grandson nodded with a vague understanding.The old man thought for a while, called an old servant over, and ordered, "Go and tell your masters, anyway, I am at home now, and I am considered healthy. Let him not have to find a husband for my grandson, I will teach him myself. "The old servant agreed to go.

Back in the guest house, Jia Cong hurriedly pushed Chen Ruijin to help send a telegram back to Dajiala, asking Jia Xu to get close to the uncle of the third brother-in-law, and to pull this uncle out to do things-in the past, he only thought of him as a good person, but now Only when Su Cheng reminded him did he realize: this kind of person is just lazy; but if he is serious, there is nothing he can't do.Since his nephew is just an assistant who wants to marry the minister, why not show some sincerity?

Two days later, Jia Cong and others bid farewell to the young and old of the Su family and headed south.As soon as they left, Su Zheng sent someone to Tianning Temple, where Liu Xiaoqi lived recently.Hearing that Master Su invited him, Liu Xiaoqi rushed over like the wind.It turned out that Su Zheng entrusted him to do something.Jiangxi is mountainous.Nowadays, the big bandits are either dead, scattered or gone, but there are still many small bandits.Li Guopei has already decided to go to Egypt to build the Suez Canal for Jia Cong, and now he is only busy teaching Yang Guotai how to be a general soldier; Yang Guotai himself is still a novice, so he can't take care of it.Su Zheng wanted to trouble Liu Xiaoqi to work harder, ran away the remaining bandits, and persuaded them to go to North America to rob.Those who can't be persuaded will kill a few leaders, and the rest will be easy to deal with.Liu Xiaoqi thought that this was really an important matter, so she agreed without hesitation.He left the next day.

Two days later, Su Cheng changed into men's clothes and wanted to go to his shop to see how the decoration was. When he reached the gate of the Su residence, he was stopped by two burly women.The mother-in-law said: "Miss, don't blame me. The master forbids the eldest lady to go out."

Su Cheng was taken aback: "My father doesn't allow me to go out? Why?"

"I don't know if the servant waits."

Su Cheng was puzzled, but her father had already gone to the yamen to ask questions.Go to find her mother, her mother also went out to see flowers at some country gentleman's house today.Su Cheng stomped his feet, turned around and ran towards Su Zheng's courtyard.

Su Zheng is teaching his grandson to read.Hearing his granddaughter coming, he raised his eyelids: "Didn't you already greet me today?"

Su Cheng pouted: "Grandfather! My father forbids me to go out!"

"Oh."

Su Cheng narrowed his eyes: "You always know why."

"I know." Su Zheng said, "He told me about it a few days ago. You are too outrageous and unscrupulous. There is no such thing as a girl. Even if you marry out in the future, you will have to let your husband's family return you. Cong'er and the others were there before, and your father knew he would protect you, so he didn't do anything. Now that they've gone back, I've also sent that kid from the Liu family away." Su Zheng shook his head, "You just stay at home and raise yourselves Ansheng Cultivate your temperament. Play the piano, play the game of Go, write some poems, draw some pictures, and then practice working as a girl."

Su Cheng was stunned, and didn't come back to his senses for a while: "Grandfather...have you been possessed by something?"

Su Zheng glared at her: "Presumptuous!" Su Cheng puffed up his cheeks and looked at the old man resentfully.Su Zheng snorted, "If you have the ability to run out by yourself, no one will help you."

Su Cheng's eyes flashed, and he squeezed his nose: "Could it be possible to lock me up without anyone helping me?" Nai reached out and touched her younger brother's head, "It's good to study!" She saluted in front of Su Zheng, and ran away .

Her younger brother wondered: "Grandfather, don't you want my sister to go out and set up a shop?"

Su Zheng stroked his beard and said, "Your sister is someone who can do great things. The only thing is that she is too dependent on the Jia family's uncles. Now that no one is helping her, I'll see what she will do." Uncle Su was dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, Su Cheng ran away three days later.

Su Zheng ordered someone to investigate, and she turned out to be disguised as a servant, unlocked the back door of the garden early in the morning, and walked out openly.It turned out that Jia Cong and others interrogated the old Hutou a few days ago, and learned that the steward of the Xie family had matched the keys to the back doors of the various corner doors of the magistrate's yamen, and Su Cheng got a reminder.She then asked Liu Xiaoqi for help, and also provided a set of keys for various doors of the Su residence and the magistrate's yamen.Liu Xiaoqi asked her what she was doing.She said: "I don't know, let's put it aside and make a move. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. What if it works?"
