The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Zhan Feng asked Liu Xiaoqi to send two more people to King Yan's mansion, in order to prevent the real King Yan from entering the mansion to replace the fake one.Liu Xiaoqi murmured: "The fake one's side is already sealed." She still complied.

Jia Cong asked: "What is that, Grandpa Quan, after finding Xiao Qi's letter in hidden words in the study outside Dingcheng Houye, he should report it to King Yan."

"That's right!" Zhan Feng knocked on the desk and said, "Xiao Qi, you should turn around and follow him."

Liu Xiaoqi thought for a while: "I made a mistake."

Jia Cong said: "Today they are in the dark, but we are in the light. There are benefits in the light. Next time I see Eunuch Quan, I will kill him."

Liu Xiaoqi frowned: "I don't know where our people are yet."

"Most of them are still in Prince Yan's mansion. If that's the case, just find an excuse and look for it clearly." Jia Cong said, "And the whole eunuch may not be killed by us." He winked, "You speak Ganxi dialect, Xie Jing has been working in Jiangxi for more than ten years, and he specializes in doing business with people from the Green Forest.”

Everyone smiles.Lin Daiyu nodded: "Alright."

Liu Xiaoqi clasped her fists: "Decree."

By the way, Zhan Kun told Liu Xiaoqi that he was not there for a while, and everyone discussed to stare at the house of the fourth son of King Yan's family, and by the way, went inside to find clues about his father, and went to the suburbs to find out about the senior officials, and asked Liu Xianglian and Xue Pan Jiang Zixuan and others helped to stockpile food, and Jia Congming wooed Sun Shaozu to go.Nai asked him if he had any suggestions.Liu Xiaoqi shook her head: "Saving people is the most important thing, I don't care about anything else."

It was almost the twelfth lunar month, and the dawn was late, but it was still pitch black outside.Everyone dispersed.Jia Cong left the gate of the Lin Mansion, went around in circles and came back.Lin Daiyu was washing her face. When she heard that he was back, she came out with a handkerchief.Jia Cong approached and said in a low voice: "In case Situ Pan comes to look for Uncle Lin, please don't let him leave." Nai Gong bowed his hands and left.

After going back home and sleeping for two hours, Jia Amnesty sent someone to wake up his son.Jia Cong stared in confusion, drank a bowl of porridge indiscriminately, and stood in front of the steps in a daze.Suddenly snowflakes fell from the sky.Jia Cong hummed a little song: "You live in the southern sun with heavy snowfall, and I live in the cold night in the north like spring all the year round..."

The boy said from the side: "Master, it's only snowing here."

Jia Cong shook his head with his hands behind his back: "This is called synaesthesia."

Just as he was talking, Jia Amnesty's people came again and brought Jia Cong a painting.Jia Cong opened it and saw that it was Wen Daguan who collected the grain. Jia She asked the painter to paint him as a general with a helmet and armor.Jia Cong didn't want to see Sun Shaozu in his heart, and wanted to do other things first to dawdle.His father even prepared the portrait, he had no choice but to put the portrait in his bosom, changed into plain clothes and went out.

Since Jia Cong and others took over the capital, Sun Shaozu immediately resigned from his post, and directly transferred a short-term Fuguo general from the commander of the Beijing camp.Although it is still the grade of the third grade, it is no different from being idle at home.The grandson of the Sun family was originally a student of Ning Rong's residence, so he is also a family friend.Earlier, Sun Shaozu planned to go to Shangrongguo Mansion to visit and talk about the past with Jia Amnesty.But Lin Daiyu sang another song about exempting agricultural tax.His family has a lot of land in Yan State, if they follow the new tax policy, they will have to pay a lot of money from next year.Annoyed, he didn't want to go, bored at home and angry.

When the third son was the heir, Sun Shaozu received a lot of rewards for his great contributions.The third child also specially rewarded six beauties.Since it was a gift from the son, not only could Xia Jingui not repair it, but he had to treat each other with kind words, and he must not cut short the cost of food and clothing.Some of these six were gentle and docile, some were charming, but none of them had Xia Jingui's aggressive temperament.Sun Shaozu liked it so much that he never entered Xia Jingui's room again.Xia Jingui endured so much that her heart was broken, and she cursed her husband and a group of vixens every day to die.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for the capital to change again.Not to mention that Sun Shaozu lost his official position, his backstage Three Highnesses are also missing!The eldest son was replaced by a three-year-old child, and a new regent under the age of 30 was added.Xia Jingui immediately regained her spirits—the regent's sister had personally invited her to a banquet at the residence.Then his voice became louder, and his temper also came up. He pointed at Sang, Huai, Sun Shaozu, and vixen all day long.The food and clothing of those six beauties suddenly fell by more than one notch, and they were often scratched by her ears.Sun Shaozu hated her so much, but he didn't dare to divorce her—he didn't know whether the imperial salary would be returned, Xia Jingui's family was really rich.

But at this moment, Jia Cong came to the door.Sun Shaozu was stunned for a moment when he heard the report from his disciples: "Who is visiting?"

Menzi said happily, "The Prince Regent is here! Congratulations, General."

Sun Shaozu didn't even change his clothes, he stood up and ran back and forth.When I ran to the door, I saw a young man wearing a black cloak standing with a smile on his face. A lot of snow had fallen on his body, followed by a dozen or so soldiers in dark green uniforms.Sun Shaozu took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "Dare to ask this one?"

Jia Cong smiled, cupped his hands and said, "The little king is Jia Cong."

Sun Shaozu hurriedly turned over and bowed down.Jia Cong was not too polite, and only stepped forward to help him up after he finished his worship, saying: "I have wanted to visit General Sun for a long time. I was really busy a few days ago, so I just got an idea today." Nai laughed, "I remember , General Sun and my big brother Xue are still related?"

Sun Shaozu hurriedly said: "Zhuojing and Master Xue are cousins, and he is the matchmaker for our marriage."

"Oh?" Jia Cong pretended to be surprised, "It turned out to be a good story."

The corners of Sun Shaozu's eyes wrinkled twice: "Thanks to Lao Xue!" He thought to himself, could it be that Xue Pan secretly helped him?Nai bowed to lead Jia Cong in.

The two sat inside for a while, drank half a cup of tea, and exchanged a few words.Jia Cong said seriously: "General Sun, Xiao Wang came today to ask for advice." Sun Shaozu said he dared not.Jia Cong said, "Although the Yan army has been equipped with fire guns, the training and management are still the same. Next year we will carry out rectification and reorganization of the army. Ten people in one squad, three squads in one company, three companies in one battalion , Three Battalions and One Regiment are organized like this. Each company must be assigned an instructor to be responsible for the daily cultural and ideological education of the soldiers."

Sun Shaozu was completely dumbfounded: "What is the prince talking about? The general can't understand at all."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "The general didn't understand it the first time, but Xiao Wang explained it to the general." Then he explained it to him in detail.

Sun Shaozu is also a general, and he understood before he finished listening: the regent will match every thirty soldiers with a gentleman.This gentleman's power is not small, and he divided half of the general's power.He couldn't help frowning: "I'm afraid that sir doesn't know how to fight."

"Don't worry, general." Jia Cong said, "The instructors don't care about fighting, they don't understand. They are responsible for teaching soldiers to read, telling them not to violate military rules and so on. However, their meaning is also very important when it comes to promotion. "

"A supervisor?"

"No." Jia Cong smiled wryly, "It's not for monitoring the army. The instructors only guide the soldiers in their daily lives. They don't care about training or fighting. But conduct is what matters. The country of Yan doesn't want ruffian soldiers. Look, General Sun," he said. Looking at the guards following him, "Are these people of mine stronger than the imperial guards?"

Sun Shaozu nodded and said, "It's really energetic."

"This is the soft power of the army." Jia Cong said earnestly, "It's very important! My requirement is that the army be able to recruit, fight, and win. There are only firearms, but no energy. It is extremely difficult to do. In this regard, the Yan army is inferior to those in Taiwan and Guangdong in the south, because there is no instructor. The general has heard that Hong Kong troops are punished even for beating their wives and children."

Sun Shaozu was shocked: "Why?"

"Women and children are weak. Bullying the weak means that you can't beat the strong, and your martial arts are too poor. Just as a wise man never argues with a fool, a person with strong martial arts will not fight with women and children-it's too boring."

Sun Shaozu said with a smile: "It's obviously not a serious fight between the couple. This one is too biased."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Brother Xue said that General Sun and his wife are more and more in love with each other." Sun Shaozu was a little embarrassed, annoyed that Xue Pan said everything in front of the regent, and he became more and more convinced that Xue Pan had said good things for him.But he prevaricated a few words in the past.Jia Cong then straightened his back and said seriously, "Therefore, the generals of the Yulin Army may be greatly mobilized. Not only the generals, but even the soldiers will be greatly mobilized. I hope General Sun can explain a thing or two to the generals."

Only then did Sun Shaozu understand what he was here for, and he couldn't help being ecstatic.This is a sign that you want to reuse yourself!He hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "My lord, don't worry, the general will do his best to appease the generals."

Jia Cong laughed immediately when he heard the words, and said loudly: "General Sun is really a character. Thank you General, please General." Nai stood up and bowed.Sun Shaozu was so happy that he was in a hurry to return the gift.Jia Cong suddenly remembered something and said, "I'm looking for someone, I don't know if General Sun can recognize him."

Sun Shaozu hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

Jia Cong took out the portrait from his pocket: "It must be a general of Yan State."

Sun Shaozu took the portrait and looked at it for a long time, then frowned and said, "I have never seen this person before."

"No problem." Jia Cong sighed softly, "Finding someone is a hassle."

Sun Shaozu watched the meeting again, and finally shook his head: "I don't know."

Jia Cong didn't expect him to recognize him at first, so he left after saying a few casual words, and went straight to work in the Zhengshitang.

On the other side, Liu Si searched Yan Wang's mansion for a whole day under the pretext of looking for something important, but did not find Zhou Deshan's family and her mother.Jia Cong suddenly had the feeling of watching TV dramas in his previous life—at first, we were all underground parties, but now that we have liberated Beijing, we have to guard against counterattacks and sabotage by Chinese spies.

When he returned home in the evening, the door greeted him and said, "The prince is back!" Nai whispered, "A big sister has been waiting for the prince for half a day."

Jia Cong threw the reins to him, and asked casually, "What's the eldest sister?"

The door said: "She said that her master knows the second aunt, and she is a relative of the Xue family."

Jia Cong was taken aback: "Huh?" What kind of strange origin is this?Immediately, a person came to mind—he just went to meet a relative of Xue Pan this morning, Sun Shaozu.Quickly asked, "Where is the person?"

"I'm waiting at the doorman." Menzi smiled and led him over.

I saw a beautiful woman in lake blue clothes standing up, full of blessings.Jia Cong asked, "Who sent you here?"

"The slave's master is Xia Shi, the cousin of Lord Xuehou, the Zhongming Marquis." The woman lowered her head lightly, revealing a section of her snow-white nape. She is not afraid of the cold in this snowy day.

Jia Cong jumped inwardly: Could this woman be Xia Jingui's maid who was written a little in the original book?Nai got interested and asked, "What's your name?"

"Slave Baochan."

Jia Cong smiled slightly: "Since she is Brother Xue's cousin, she is also considered to be related to our family. Let's go and talk inside."

Then he led the treasure toad in, found a place to sit in Jialan's outer study earlier, and sent the servants out.Nai smiled and looked at Baochan: "I've heard of Ms. Xia Jingui's name, she is a smart person. I don't think Ms. Xia will send someone close to me for no reason."

Baochan didn't expect that he would know that he was Xia Jingui's confidant, he was both surprised and happy, and said: "Our wife sent me here for something very important."

"Well, you said."

"Our lord lied today!" Baochan said, "He recognized the portrait the lord showed him!"

Jia Cong stood up abruptly, and lost his voice: "He recognizes that portrait?!"

Baochan nodded: "He recognizes it! The prince is not familiar with us men, so he can't tell. Our wife can tell that he is lying at a glance."

It turned out that the whole Sun family was full of snobbish eyes.When Sun Shaozu gained power, he listened to Sun Shaozu, and when Sun Shaozu lost power, he listened to Xia Jingui.These days, Sun Shaozu has lost his job, and the boys in the porter often go to Xia Jingui's place to flatter him.Today, when Jia Cong came to visit, he mentioned Xue Pan at the gate.Sun Shaozu followed his words and said that his wife is Xue Pan's cousin.The servants thought that the Prince Regent had a good relationship with his wife's cousin, so they went to Xia Jingui's place to announce the good news with a smile.Xia Jingui was overjoyed, he didn't expect that cousin Duanxiu would have such a big backer.She didn't shy away from whether men and women would accept or not kiss, so she hurriedly picked out bright clothes and ran to the front.

The Sun family didn't dare to stop him, and Jia Cong's soldiers didn't care, Xia Jingui went straight to the door.Because he didn't dare to go in hastily, he gave Baochan a wink.Baochan lifted the curtain lightly and took a look inside, seeing the two of them sitting upright as if they were talking about something important, so he didn't disturb them.Pianxia Jingui glanced at him and saw the soldiers in dark green uniforms all over the room with straight postures, and she was very envious.The room they were talking in was originally a large room separated by a large screen, so Xia Jingui quietly went to the next door and peeped from the corner of the screen.She was trying to spy on those soldiers, but happened to hear Jia Cong showing Sun Shaozu a portrait.The expression on Sun Shaozu's face is very clear, he must recognize the person in the portrait.

Xia Jingui thought, if there is a king regent backing him up, what would he be afraid of if he divorced this Dushi surnamed Sun in the future?What's more, I had a lot of contacts with the regent's sister in my early years.After much deliberation, he finally sent Baochan to Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Cong took a deep breath.Although I don't know why Sun Shaozu lied, at least there was a breakthrough.Since he didn't want to pass the ladder to him, don't blame yourself for being rude.Naizheng looked at Baochan and said: "Thank you, Ms. Xia. Miss Baochan, please send a message, I remember her credit."

Baochan hurriedly said: "What credit is not credit! Our wife also recognizes the second aunt of your mansion, so naturally I don't want to watch the master deceive the regent."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Does she still recognize my second sister? I'm the only real sister."

"I recognize it!" Baochan said, "Our wife even came to Rongguo Mansion for a banquet, and it was invited by my second aunt."

Jia Cong smiled more and opened his eyebrows: "In the future, when my sister returns to Beijing, they will meet again."
