The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Lin Hai persuaded Situ Pan to go to Taiwan to have a look, and then let him go.Jia Cong rested his cheeks and said, "It seems that they are quite frustrated. Otherwise, why would they come to you to complain?"

Lin Daiyu said: "Try and test our morale along the way, try to figure out how sure we are."

Jia Cong thought for a while again: "Uncle, did he only come to the study with you? Did he propose to visit your house?"

Lin Haidao: "Never."

Jia Cong said: "I thought, if I were him, I would definitely ask you out to meet, and I wouldn't come to your house-how dangerous. It's okay if you are always at home, but it's hard to say if Sister Lin is here too .Did he meet anyone else?"

Lin Hai shook his head: "Only talk to me."

Jia Cong said: "Your master has been away from Beijing for many years, and has been maintaining and repairing it all the time. It is easier to arrange detailed work."

A thought suddenly popped into Lin Daiyu's mind, she stood up and left; Jia Cong and Lin Hai hurriedly followed after seeing this.Running into the ear room next door, I saw Lin Qu lying on the carpet and playing with cloth balls, piled up in various colors for half the room.Lin Qu picked up the litter with his hands, picked it up again, picked it up and threw it away.Jia Cong said seriously: "What's so interesting about this?"

Lin Daiyu was relieved when she saw this.Lin Qu was picking up the balls. When he saw his mother and grandfather coming, he grabbed two cloth balls and ran over smiling.Daiyu squatted down habitually, and Lin Qu handed the ball to her.The little guy looked up at his grandfather, and handed the other one to the old man.Jia Cong also knelt down and pointed to his nose: "Where's uncle?" Lin Qu looked at him, turned around and ran back to fetch another small cloth ball and handed it to Jia Cong.Jia Cong cupped it with both hands: "Thank you, Qu'er! Qu'er is so kind." Then he stuffed the little cloth ball into his purse, picked him up and weighed him, "Little friend Lin Qu, you are heavy again! You little boy Chubby."

Lin Hai smiled when he saw his grandson's beard: "Such a big kid grows the fastest."

Daiyu said: "Hold him here, I feel more at ease looking at him." She turned and went out.Seeing his mother leaving, Lin Qu quickly stretched out his hand to reach for her.Where can his little arm, which is less than a foot long, reach?Urgently screaming.Jia Cong hurriedly hugged him and followed.

As soon as he returned to the study, Lin Qu immediately dumped his uncle and crawled on top of his mother.Lin Daiyu didn't hug him, but let him climb up to her knees along her calf, and put her hands around him.Jia Cong sighed: "This bastard ran away before he was warmed up. It's not much better than when he first came. Uncle gave you so many toys, it can't please you."

Daiyu smiled and said, "It's much better than that meeting." When he just returned to Beijing, although Lin Qu didn't admit his life, he stuck to Daiyu whenever he saw outsiders around.Jia Cong remembered the same with his little nephew in his previous life, in order to show his sovereignty: My mother is mine!Getting to know each other slowly will get better.However, the child still misses his mother after all, and at the moment he is trying his best to get into Daiyu's bad side and act like a spoiled child.Daiyu coaxed him for a while, and said seriously, "Qu'er is our weakest point."

Jia Cong laughed and said, "The guards around him are no match for others."

Daiyu didn't answer, but sat and thought for a long time, and asked, "What did you say last time to protect folk crafts?"

"Hmm. Those who draw sugar paintings, make clay figurines, and cut paper should all be protected. When industrialization rises, these things will gradually disappear. What's wrong?"

Daiyu smiled and said: "When I was young, the day I first came to the capital, you gave me a grasshopper made of straw, which was made by sister Hongxiu. I liked it very much at that time."

Jia Cong blinked: "My sister still remembers what happened so early! I only have a vague impression."

Daiyu said: "The gardener in our family can also weave straw, and can weave many patterns. Grasshoppers, birds, rabbits, deer, everything is weaved as if they were alive. This can be considered a folk handicraft."

"Of course! If it's so realistic, you can be regarded as a master of arts and crafts. What did he make up? Get it and let me see."

Daiyu then sent someone to get straw woven things from the young master's house.After a while, when Jia Cong took a look, it looked like a straw zoo!There are more than 20 kinds of flowers, insects, birds, and animals, all of which are lifelike.Daiyu ordered again: "Go and ask Fu Baoquan to come."

Not long after, a man in a green cloth jacket walked in.This man was over 40 years old, with a dark complexion, walked in with a bowed body and beat Qian'er: "I have seen the master and the prime minister."

Daiyu pointed to Jia Cong and said, "Fu Baoquan, this is the regent Jia Cong."

Fu Baoquan hurriedly knelt down to kowtow, Jia Cong waved his hand: "No! I don't like to be kowtowed. Regent is just a profession."

Daiyu laughed and said, "He's less willing to accept someone's head than I am. You just treat him with common courtesy."

Fu Baoquan got up and bowed, and Jia Cong returned the bow.Fu Baoquan said repeatedly: "The servant was killed."

Jia Cong said: "Mr. Fu, you are welcome." Pointing to those straw things, he said, "You made these."

"Yes. The slave made it up for the young master to play with."

"Tsk tsk, you are an absolute master of arts and crafts!" Jia Cong picked up a monkey, and the monkey was overjoyed as it held a big peach. "It's not difficult to make up the appearance, but the difficult thing is to make up the demeanor, which is much more difficult than painting or making statues. Mr. Fu, I'm considering building a college of arts and crafts. Do you want to consider becoming a teacher?"

Fu Baoquan was taken aback: "Mr.? The servant can't read a few words."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Compulsory education for all is coming soon, and there are also quick literacy classes for adults. Besides, you are not allowed to teach Ziyue Shiyun, but you are asked to teach straw weaving."

Fu Baoquan was confused: "How can you teach others such a small skill?"

"Your these are excellent straw weaving crafts. Or you can teach some students and set up a straw weaving handicraft factory." Jia Cong thought, "If you are not good at management, you can manage technology and development. In the future, the tourism sector will develop. Straw weaving craft souvenirs are also an important income increase." Looking at this person's blank eyes, Nai smiled and said, "Don't worry, you will know when the time comes. Anyway, since you have this craft, don't waste it in vain. If you can be a husband, you will find out Big fortune. You pack up and come with me tonight. I will take you to meet someone tomorrow."

Fu Baoquan waved his hands again and again: "I can't do it! How can I do it, sir! I just make up a few things for the young master to make him happy." He went to look at Lin Qu.Lin Qu was only two years old, he couldn't understand what the adults were saying at all, and he was about to fall asleep in his mother's arms.

Jia Cong said kindly: "Don't be afraid, you're fine. Think about it, if you can't do it, you won't be allowed to do it, right? Don't worry, your craft is really rare, and everyone will like it. Besides, If you go to the straw weaving factory and it’s not Qu’er, then you won’t be able to play with the objects you weave, so just buy them from you. If you are generous, you can give him two pieces. "

Fu Baoquan still shook his head: "My lord, a slave can't do it."

"Have you made straw weaving?"

"It's done."

"I just want you to make straw weaving." Jia Cong said, "Westerners have never seen such an exquisite thing. We weave it and sell it to the West for a high price. Then use the money to open a school, so that every child in our country study."

Fu Baoquan looked at Lin Qu again, the boy had fallen asleep.There was a bit of anxiety in his eyes, he looked at Jia Cong and said earnestly: "The slave has been in the Lin Manor for many years, and he has already gotten used to it. If you want a slave, this skill is easy, not difficult. The prince will send someone over, and the slave will teach him."

Daiyu looked down at her son: "Persuade him first. Qu'er is asleep, and he will come as soon as I arrange him."

"Ah."

The little girl opened the door curtain, and Daiyu went out with her son in her arms.Lin Hai also persuaded: "Fu Baoquan, building a straw weaving factory is a big deal, not just for fun. If you are needed, go." Jia Cong followed suit.Fu Baoquan just didn't want to leave.

After a while, Daiyu came back and said to Lin Hai with a smile, "Father, go and look at Qu'er, I'm afraid he will wake up and ask someone later."

Lin Hai immediately stood up: "I'll go! You tell Cong'er something important." Then he left.

As soon as the old man left, Lin Daiyu sat on the pit and looked at Fu Baoquan for half a day, making Fu Baoquan feel a little uncomfortable.Daiyu sighed lightly and said, "You alone, do you have the ability to kidnap Qu'er?"

Fu Baoquan was stunned.After a while, he said dejectedly: "The prime minister who co-authored just now is testing the servant."

"That's not true." Jia Cong said, "We guess that there may be King Yan's secret work in the Lin family, and there is no specific suspicious person. It is true that I want you to become a teacher in the straw weaving factory. If you don't have confidence, it's normal. I don't know. It's normal to be at a loss. It's wrong to refuse to go. After all, your craftsmanship is really good. Who doesn't want to stand out? Besides, you just watched Qu'er two or three times. Let's tell you about the important thing of getting promoted and getting rich. Look What is he doing? He is not yet three years old, what can he do?"

Fu Baoquan smiled wryly, and stretched out his hands: "Success is also a skill, and failure is also."

"The hands of the working people!" Jia Cong sighed, "Why do you treat them as meticulous workers? By the way, I have always wanted to ask people in your profession. Why do you treat them as meticulous workers? What is the purpose? It is for the noble. For example, hope that the King of Yan will rule Yan into a peaceful and prosperous world after the victory, or is it for promotion and wealth in the future, or has he received any great kindness, or has a relative in the family fell into the hands of others and became a hostage?"

Fu Baoquan said seriously: "The prince is very kind to the servant. The servant is the prince's person in life, and the prince's ghost in death."

"Oh, yes." Jia Cong looked at him.No beard, no high-pitched voice. "Were you the father-in-law of his mansion earlier?"

Fu Baoquan said: "The slave was originally from the palace."

Jia Cong nodded: "Yes. With your status, you don't have many other interests, so it's easier to be foolish and loyal. Well, since that's the case, Sister Lin has a good time to sort out the house."

Daiyu said: "Qu'er is surrounded by people I brought from Boston, and others are not afraid. Since he is the master of King Yan, there will be no second one."

"Huh? Why?"

Daiyu smiled and said, "He was here before we returned to Beijing. Is it worth sending two fine works in a mere house that no one lives in?"

"That's true." Jia Cong looked at Fu Baoquan again and said, "Mr. Fu, let me tell you~~ You can't kidnap Qu'er with your idea alone. The guards of the Lin family are not just for nothing."

"The slave didn't intend to kidnap the young master..." Fu Baoquan sighed: "The regent and the prime minister are clever, and the prince may be difficult to deal with this time."

Hearing a "crack bang", Jia Cong shouted urgently: "Don't let him swallow the poison and medicine!" Before he could speak, a hand stretched out from the back of Fu Baoquan's head and removed his jaw joint.Fu Baoquan was stunned.The guard was very young, he was a child of the Liu family, when he heard Fu Baoquan admit that he was a spy, he stared at him.Jia Cong snapped his fingers: "Well done!"

Daiyu smiled and said, "Thank you."

Fu Baoquan rolled his eyes from being pinched.The guard said "I'm being rude to my subordinates", held down Fu Baoquan's head, picked up the teapot on the table with one hand, poured tea into his mouth, and washed his mouth several times like washing a teacup.After tilting his head and looking at it for a long time, Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and said angrily, "It's only a little slower! If he was faster, it would be much easier if he didn't bite his fangs."

Jia Cong asked curiously, "Isn't it true that once a fang shatters, you die?"

"No." The guard said, "You have to swallow it before you die. Otherwise, what if someone bites the fang by mistake?"

"...It's really thoughtful. Hey, don't strangle him to death!" "Don't worry, I just fainted."

The guard said innocently, "Otherwise I'm afraid he will swallow it by force!"

Jia Cong chatted with the guard for a while, then turned his head to see that Lin Daiyu's face was as dark as the ink on the desk, and hurriedly asked, "Sister Lin! What's wrong?"

Lin Daiyu clenched her fists.It was a snowy day, and she was sweating profusely, so she took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat with trembling hands.Jia Cong immediately understood: she was afraid.It is not easy to cultivate a fine worker.If it was just an attempted kidnapping, Fu Baoquan didn't need to commit suicide immediately.Since he was anxious to seek death, he was afraid that the errand given to him by King Yan was not kidnapping, but wanted Lin Qu's life.If Lin Quruo died, everything from Lin Daiyu, Lin Hai to Jia Cong and Jia Huan would be messed up.Fu Baoquan was able to get close to the child, and the Lin family never guarded against him.He can easily succeed with just a poisonous needle.

Jia Cong looked at Fu Baoquan who had fainted: "I won't interrogate him, I'll hand it over to my eldest brother-in-law."

Daiyu covered her forehead and said after a long while, "Let my elder brother-in-law understand."

Jia Cong comforted: "My sister is resting tonight, King Yan probably doesn't have many tricks. A few days ago, Princess Yan was anxious to send her grandson out of the city, probably because she was afraid that her sister would take revenge on King Yan's heirs in a fit of anger—she herself It's just such a personality, it's rare to judge others by yourself."

Daiyu still clutched her forehead.After a long time, she suddenly slammed down the desk heavily and shouted, "Where's the goddamn Jarvis? Why hasn't he come yet? Didn't you send him a telegram telling him to go to Beijing quickly? It's been a few days now? His son was almost killed, and he didn’t even lose his hair when he was an old man! What the hell is going on! It’s the Chinese New Year! If he doesn’t come, he will go to Dongying to celebrate the New Year by himself!” Jia Cong shuddered several times in fright.

As soon as the words fell, someone shouted outside the door: "Report!"

This is the name in the military, and the visitor is obviously from North America.Lin Daiyu took a deep breath and sat upright: "Come in."

A soldier in military uniform walked in and gave a military salute: "Report to the military division, I just received a telegram from General Jarvis."

"what did you say?"

"Tonight, the general smashed the Yanshan bandits in fifteen fields in the suburbs of Beijing, and captured the bandit leader Lu Dezhi alive."

Lin Daiyu and Jia Cong stood up together and shouted: "What?!" "Say it again!"

The soldier couldn't help but raise his mouth: "The telegram said that General Jarvis smashed the Yanshan bandits in [-] fields outside Beijing tonight, and captured the bandit leader Lu Dezhi alive. Military division, the general has won the battle."

Daiyu snorted, and sat down gracefully: "Return to the telegram: Misidentified. The name of Yanshan bandit leader is Zhang Lu, and Lu Dezhi is the general soldier of Tianjin."
