The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

In the summer of that year, there was a severe flood in the south of the Yangtze River, which destroyed countless farmlands.Su Tao, the magistrate of Jiangxi Province, submitted a letter to the court asking for disaster relief and tax exemption.King Yan didn't know that Su Tao withheld Xie's family passbook, anyway, he didn't have spare money to give them disaster relief.Therefore, with a swipe of a pen, tax exemption for three years, I don’t know about disaster relief.Su Tao went up again, and described the tragedy with a weeping pen.King Yan swiped his pen again, and he pursued tax exemption for three years.Su Tao got a six-year tax exemption and was quite satisfied.And he also knew that if Jia Cong's collusion with Feng Ziying was revealed, the six-year tax exemption would definitely be gone.What the daughter said was right, neither the emperor nor the gods can be relied on, only oneself can be relied on.

At the end of September, Su Zheng called his son into the courtyard, and said slowly: "In this catastrophe, the Rongguo Mansion has helped you a lot from the beginning to the end. We can't repay you. Don't you think I taught Yao Erhuan?" Cong'er has been doing this for us for a few years." Su Tao was about to speak, but his father had already picked up, "The third girl in their family is getting married next month, take Cheng'er to have a look. Gifts After all, it’s not as good as people used to be.”

Su Tao was taken aback for a moment: "Father, the disaster has just passed, and I am already overwhelmed with work."

"It's been three months, and the big thing has been decided." Su Zheng said, "A few years ago, Wang Ziteng helped Jiangxi build the Daguan Road, and it was very convenient to ride a fast horse. There are also Li Guopei and Yang Guotai here. The one below you The pawn, Tu Yaozu, I think is very reliable. The matter of building the new embankment was handed over to Mr. Xiong, and the matter of resettling the victims, the boy surnamed Mei was very careful and careful, and the remaining bandit Liu Xiaoqi was still running. It’s nothing more than common people filing lawsuits. Few of them have seen what the magistrate looks like, at worst, the old man will look after the stall for you, isn’t my surname Su?”

What else can Su Tao do when his father's words come to this point?I had to bite the bullet and arrange the next things one by one.Su Cheng knew that he had to stay and study after he went on this trip, and he was also busy with setting up the factory.Because she knows that chocolate is not eaten in summer, and now there are mostly semi-finished products in the warehouse, and the test line has only been seriously tested recently.So the eldest maid Bai Lu was left to preside over the matter, and her mother, Mrs. Zhang, was entrusted with the rest.Mrs. Zhang poked her finger with a smile: "You are here to collect debts." The gift for the third girl of Rongguo Mansion has already been transported to Dajiala.A few days later, Su Tao and Su Cheng hurried on the road.Su Tao saw that his daughter's horse riding was not inferior to the man's, and he was slightly shocked.

In early October, the father and daughter arrived at Dajiala Danshui Port by boat from Guangzhou Port.Su Tao was in astonishment when he was in Guangzhou. When he came here, he was no longer astonished. It was like being in a foreign country written in an ancient book.Su Cheng explained: "This kind of clothes are called T-shirts. They are easy to wear and cheap to do things. Taiwan's climate is warm, so you don't need to wear too many clothes. You still have to wear Hanfu on formal occasions."

Su Tao asked, "What is Hanfu?"

"We are wearing Hanfu." Su Cheng had been here before, he waved his hand and called a four-horse carriage to hop on, and then pulled her father into the carriage.

Su Cheng didn't tell everyone in Dajiala when they would arrive, so no one came to pick them up.Anyway, it was still a few days before Tanchun got married, so she decided not to go to the Jia family and took her father to live in Xunjian Inn.I went to Huizi Street that day, and went to the night market in the evening.The next morning, when Su Tao went to visit the museum, he didn't want to leave.

At noon, Su Chengqiang took her father out for lunch, and saw a few huge portraits hanging on a big house not far from the restaurant, so he couldn't help but glance at them.Immediately recognized the person, and whispered: "Li Tao!"

Su Tao knew that this woman was a hero in breaking the bandits, so he hurriedly asked, "Did you see her?"

Su Cheng pointed out: "The portrait in the middle is her." Nai read, "Dajiala Concert Hall, the song and dance drama White-haired Girl. The lead star is Du Keqi. This Du Keqi is probably her newly changed name. Dad, shall we go see her performance tonight?" Su Tao agreed after listening to the freshness.

By the time the two rushed to the Dajiala Concert Hall after dinner, the tickets for tonight were already sold out.This play was performed the next day, so Su Cheng bought a ticket for the next one.Su Tao saw that what his daughter took out were several pieces of colorful paper, which did not look like bank notes, so he asked what they were.Su Cheng said: "This is the banknote issued by the Bank of China last year. It is similar to silver bills and is convenient to carry. Now Taiwan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Ping'an Prefecture, Lu State, Dongying's Yan, Wu, and Liu are included, and Nanyang, Java, Malay, and Taiwan are all banknotes." This banknote is commonly used in China and Australia, and the water-soluble Dacheng is also planned to be used next year. This is the result of the APEC meeting."

Su Tao was confused: "What party?"

Su Cheng giggled and said, "I can't explain a few words clearly, but you will understand after a while."

The two stayed in the inn for four or five days, and Su Tao gradually understood the reason why his father forced him to come here.Three days before Tanchun got married, they went to the magistrate's yamen to deliver the post, and Jia Lian ran out to greet him in surprise.Su Tao looked at his complex expression, and said with emotion: "Brother Jia, you can't judge by appearance..." Jia Lian laughed.In the next two days, Su Tao was accompanied by his daughter to several places where outsiders were not allowed to go, and he was more shocked every hour.

When Jia Tanchun got married, only his younger brother Jia Huan from the capital came to watch the ceremony.It turned out that it was Bao's second grandmother, Huan and the third grandmother, both of whom had big bellies, and everyone congratulated them with three blessings.At the banquet, Chen Ruijin suddenly covered his mouth and felt nauseous.Wang Xifeng was the first to think of it, and asked someone to change the dishes for her.At first, Jia Cong thought she was feeling sick to her stomach, but when she saw Second Mistress Lian's joyful look, she suddenly thought of some possibility and was stunned.

Wang Xifeng struggled for a long time, and seeing that Jia Cong had become stupid, he quickly pushed him: "Brother Cong, take care of your wife." Jia Cong suddenly woke up, and stared at Chen Ruijin eagerly.

Chen Ruijin gave him a sidelong glance, and cursed in a low voice: "What a fool." He couldn't help lowering his head, his face flushed.

What else does Jia Cong not understand?Pounding the table with both fists, he looked up to the sky and shouted: "Ah——" The whole audience looked over, not knowing what happened to him.

Wang Xifeng covered her mouth with a smile, quietly approached Mrs. Xing and said a few words.Mrs. Xing was overjoyed and said she would pardon Jia.Jia She was overjoyed, clapped his hands and smiled.At this time, Lin Daiyu had given birth to a son in Boston, North America, who was surnamed Lin as agreed, and wrote to Lin Hai asking for his name.Lin Hai has been thinking about it for more than two months but has not come up with the name of the eldest grandson.Jia Amnesty was worrying about why there was no news about the stomach of the third child, and it happened that he came here.

The daughter-in-law was pregnant, Jia Cong didn't dare to run around, and stayed at home obediently, circling around Chen Ruijin like an old hen.Chen Ruijin was so annoyed that he couldn't help but kick him out.However, she only had a slight pregnancy reaction in less than a month and a half, after that she didn't feel any discomfort at all, she ate well and slept soundly; Jia Cong still looked like a fool.Chen Ruijin was really annoyed, and Yuanchun took him out to teach him.Yuan Chun smiled and said: "I'll teach him not to move too, just bear with it, the child will be fine after it's born." Chen Ruijin smiled wryly: "I'm afraid he will be even more stupid after the child is born."

Seeing that the twelfth lunar month is halfway through, Su Tao has to rush back to spend the New Year with Mr. Su, and he came to see Jia Cong before leaving.Jia Cong invited him to meet him in his study.The two brothers had tea for half a day, Su Tao clearly had something to say, but he didn't know how to say it.Jia Congnai first said: "Dare to ask senior brother, is it the king's weight or the people's weight."

Su Tao said: "It's all heavy."

"If you can only choose one? The king's weight or the people's weight."

Su Tao sighed, and said without hesitation, "Min Zhong."

Jia Cong pointed out the window: "May I ask senior brother, are the people in the capital happy, the people in Jingzhou happy, and the people in Dajiala happy?"

Su Tao said: "Obviously the people of Dajiala are much happier than those two places."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "I don't think there should be any conflicts between me and senior brother. Senior brother must hope that the people in Jiangxi will be as happy as the people in Dajiala." Su Tao felt overwhelmed and speechless.

The next day, Prefect Su went back alone.Because Jia Xichun was going to get married in the next year, and he was scheduled to get up and go to Egypt next summer, so he left Su Cheng as his disciple.Xichun is now in charge of the Ministry of Construction of the Taiwan government, which is quite a comprehensive department; Su Cheng has followed her father to treat the water for a month or two, and has somewhat laid the groundwork.

The New Year has passed in the blink of an eye.Princess Jian'an gave birth to a son in the first lunar month.In March, Shi Xiangyun also gave birth to a son.Everyone is looking forward to the addition of three people to the Rongguo Mansion every year.

Chen Ruijin's pregnancy was very smooth, and everyone said that the child was sensible.Jia Cong thought for a long time, and remembered an allusion he heard in his previous life.A high school classmate once said that when his mother was pregnant with him, she vomited in the dark, was so thin that nothing but bones remained except for her stomach, and she rarely had pregnancy reactions when she was pregnant with a second child.The elders said that the baby must be a younger sister, but unexpectedly she was born a brat.After a blood type check, he was type O, and his mother and younger brother were both type A.It can be seen that the size of the mother's pregnancy reaction may be related to the blood type of the fetus.

Jia Cong told his daughter-in-law about this, and said, "Let's be mentally prepared. This child probably just has the same blood type as you, so he may not be naughty."

Chen Ruijin glanced at him: "How can your son not be naughty?" Jia Cong smiled obsequiously, knowing that she was still looking forward to having a son in her heart.Chen Ruijin didn't have maternal depression, but he felt a little worried.

It was probably because things were going so well before, and on the day of serious delivery, Chen Ruijin had tossed from morning to dusk and still hadn't given birth.Jia Cong was so anxious that he was going crazy.It was hot at that time, and he kicked a tree outside the delivery room naked with his clothes off.Seeing it as an eyesore, Yuan Chun ordered someone to borrow a pommel horse for physical education from a nearby elementary school, and found him a pair of boxing gloves for him to vent his anger on.Jia Cong hit seventy or eighty times in a row, thinking about the backwardness of gynecology in ancient times, and thinking about the good medical level in later generations, there are still mothers who died on the delivery bed, so scared that they sat on the ground.After staying for half a day, I got up and rushed into the delivery room.

He didn't know how many times he rushed this day, and there were female armed policemen standing at the door and window.Yuan Chun and the others were too lazy to care about him, since he couldn't rush in anyway.Jia Cong shouted: "Doctor, doctor, doctor..."

There were four doctors in the room, and a young doctor came out after hearing the words.At first, he was polite and comforted him, but after a day of quarreling, he got used to it, and said with a paralyzed face, "What's the matter, Third Master?"

"How is my wife?"

"It's fine."

Jia Cong clearly knew that he was being perfunctory, so he didn't dare to lose his temper, so he had to tell him: "If anything happens, please remember to protect your lord!"

The doctor said: "Even the first time that the third master whispered to our doctor Zhao quietly, you have said it 23 times. This is No. 20 and [-] times. Remember it later." Turn around and go back.Jia Cong still yelled "Thank you for your hard work—" Chen Ruijin yelled again.Jia Cong rushed in again, but the armed police stopped him expressionlessly.

It lasted until the sun fell to the west, and candles were burning all over the yard.Jia Cong, who didn't have to give birth, was sitting at the door of the delivery room unable to move.Suddenly Chen Ruijin screamed, and immediately the baby cried loudly.The Wenpo nurses inside shouted in unison: "It's born, it's born!"

Jia Cong jumped up "crazyly": "Ruijin, how are you! How are you!" He pulled the door again to rush in.

Yuan Chunxi said: "He gave birth?" He ordered the armed police guarding the gate, "Forget it, let him in." The armed police stepped aside, and it was the first time in Jia Cong's life that he rushed so fast and jumped inside in three steps.

There were many large candlesticks burning in the room, as bright as day.There was a large bed in the middle, surrounded by a dozen women and medical staff wearing masks and white coats.Seeing clearly that there was no blood on the bed sheet through the gap, Jia Cong let go of his heart—he was most afraid of the rumored postpartum hemorrhage.Running over to have a look, Chen Ruijin was lying tired, eyes slightly closed.Jia Cong hurriedly leaned his head on her head, tears rolling down his face.

Chen Ruijin knew it was him without raising his eyelids, and he still had the strength to smile: "What did I say? You are really naughty."

Jia Cong cried: "We only want this one, we don't want any more, but it scared most of her father's life."

Chen Ruijin said softly: "Having a child is only the first difficult part, and the second part is easy. How lonely without brothers and sisters."

"What's so lonely." Jia Cong wiped away tears, "Two people just came out of the capital." Chen Ruijin shook his head.

The little nurse came over with the baby in her arms and said, "Congratulations to the third master, you have added a daughter."

Jia Cong turned his head to look at the first child in his two lifetimes, as if his heart had been pinched by a tiny paw, tears were streaming down like rain, he reached out to pick up his daughter and hugged him in his arms—since Chen Ruijin no longer After the pregnancy reaction, he deliberately went to the maternity hospital to learn how to hold a baby.After taking a hard look, he hurriedly brought his daughter in front of Chen Ruijin: "This brat is torturing you, so when she grows up, you can teach her a lesson."

Chen Ruijin is a person who does not shed tears, but now she is also crying when she sees her daughter.After a while, he said, "Okay. I'll teach her a lesson, but you mustn't protect her."

Jia Cong nodded vigorously: "I will never protect you! Of course you have the final say on such small matters, and I will listen to major matters." Chen Ruijin glanced at him from the corner of his eyes.Jia Cong went on to say, "Our family is fine anyway." This sentence made several nurses giggle, and Chen Ruijin also chuckled.The family of three stayed silent for a while.

At this time, Jia Amnesty and others also rushed over.Hearing that a girl was born, Jia She felt disappointed.Jia Lian comforted, "Bloom first and then bear fruit. Didn't I also get the blessing first?" Jia Amnesty sounded reasonable, and his face also looked good.

Jia Cong had already thought of a name for the child, and held Chen Ruijin's hand to discuss: "I thought, this is our eldest daughter, so we should be more generous. How about calling the girl Dingbang?"

Chen Ruijin guessed that the name he chose must have ambition, but he never thought it would be so straightforward.Nai Mingran smiled and said softly, "Okay."

Jia Cong was most afraid that she would dislike the vulgar name, so he was overjoyed when he heard the words, and shouted as if he was praised: "Thank you for your support!" He put his daughter next to his wife's pillow, jumped out and told those watching the fun outside loudly.

Everyone was stunned, only Gong Kun gave him a deep look.The generation of Jia's family should be the grassroots generation. Jia She himself had thought about the name of his grandson for a long time, and immediately stared at him: "Nonsense! How can a girl have such a name."

Jia Cong said righteously: "What's wrong with the girl? My daughter has the ambition to stabilize the country, so why can't she be called Dingbang?" Jia Amnesty disagreed, and directly criticized "nonsense".Jia Cong also said, "Wait until the second one, no matter the girl or boy, they will all be called Jia Xingguo."

Jia Amnesty stumbled: "I don't agree! Never agree!"

"The name of the genealogy is up to you to take the head office, anyway, you have to take one to fill in the genealogy."

"no!"

The important matter of naming is naturally decided by the parents, not by the grandfather.Jia Cong's eldest daughter was registered at the Household Registration Office of Taiwan Prefecture on the day of her birth. Her first name is Jia Dingbang.

Jia She was so angry that he couldn't eat dinner, so he counted the big and small mistakes Jia Cong made several times in the yard with his arms behind his back.Until the next day, he ran to Jia Cong and took the case and said, "I'll take the name, and this 'Dingbang' is her name!"

Jia Cong spread his hands: "As long as you are happy, the account has been registered."
