The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Rao Situ Pan has become a toothless tiger, Jia Cong still dare not carry forward the humanitarian spirit and let him go home for the New Year, so he didn't mention this issue.Fortunately, Situ Pan has no humanitarian ideals, and the two say goodbye after visiting a temple together.Situ Pan was restless, so he didn't hire a carriage and walked on foot with his hands behind his back.

On the road, some students had never been in a car, and they grabbed the snow on the ground noisily and started fighting.Inadvertently, a snow ball hit Situ Pan, and the student hurriedly stepped forward to apologize.Situ Pan patted the snow on his body and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter." He had seen these men and women a long time ago, and he didn't quite agree with them, but he still took advantage of the situation to chat with them.

These children are all impoverished students of Jian'an Institute of Technology. They live on scholarships and are reluctant to hire a carriage.One said: "I heard that next year there will be a bus carriage, and the student's monthly ticket is half price." When Situ Pan asked what happened, the students told him in a hurry, and said that Ping'an Prefecture had already existed.Situ Pan felt somewhat regretful, he was the one who first knew about this strategy back then.A few pennies in the district can win the hearts of many people.

The students brought up this year's Gongshuzi Invention Award again.One said: "I heard that this year's gold medal was awarded to a research team from the Department of Physics. They calculated the correspondence between making glasses and measuring the eye chart."

Another said: "Isn't this project given by Ivy?"

The one in front smiled and said: "Yes! Both sides are working on it at the same time, let's do it first, the princess has more face!"

The other one also smiled and said: "Both Starship and Ivy established the school earlier than us. They also have more teachers and more students. They have always been on top of us. Ivy often gives us projects, not for us to help, but for the convenience of teaching us. The process. Now we are the first to make this kind of four-star project! Not to mention the princess's joy, let's also improve morale!"

Another one said: "This is called the first come first. The Taiwan government was still a barren land more than ten years ago, and now there are not many people. Our capital has many soldiers and generals. It really shouldn't develop at the same speed as theirs." The students all had a bit of complacency on their faces.

Situ Pan asked what they were talking about.It turns out that the Jian'an Institute of Technology selects the most useful inventions every year, which are divided into three types: gold, silver and bronze, and Princess Jian'an personally presents the awards.The trophy is a gold, silver and bronze bust of Mr. Gongshuzi, and there are certificate bonuses and so on.Winners are not worried about not being able to find their employers, and the factories in Rongguo Mansion are scrambling to leave.In addition to this, there is also a Splendid Carriage Award, which was set up by the son-in-law, Jia Huan, to reward cheap and practical inventions or improvements.Last year's award went to an improved chimney filter, and this year's hit is a cold-angel warmer.

A girl with a round face said: "There is a story about this splendid carriage. The son-in-law saw the princess for the first time many years ago, and it was love at first sight~~ The princess and the others have left, but he is still standing at the gate of the Rongguo Mansion, looking at the carriage. It's really romantic."

A boy said with a smile: "Isn't it natural to look at your lover? What's so romantic about it. You girls love to imagine."

Another girl said: "Looking at the carriage is not romantic, so it is romantic to name the award a splendid carriage."

Situ Pan was not ashamed to ask, and asked what romance meant, and by the way, asked what the corresponding watch was like.After hearing this, I thought to myself: there are few scholars in the first place, and not many ordinary people make glasses.Is this thing practical after thinking it out?Then I heard a student say: "I gave my grandmother a pair of reading glasses two months ago, and she can do needlework again."

The round-faced girl smiled and said, "Oh, I entered school at the age of ten, and I never learned needlework! I'm afraid I won't be able to get married in the future."

Before the words were finished, another girl immediately said: "The school newspaper said that the Starship Machinery Research Institute has produced a sewing machine. It must be very easy, and a fool like you can learn it, don't worry."

The round-faced girl patted her chest and said, "I'm good at machines! Amitabha thanked Starship for all the engineers, and thanked Mrs. Wang for making me a big bowl of noodles this morning!" Everyone laughed.She added, "Thank you Dajiala No. [-], No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] garment factories."

Everyone wondered: "Thank you for the garment factory?"

She said: "The clothes they design are all simple. Not only are the T-shirts and coats simple in style and the patterns are mostly geometric, but even the Hanfu is simplified. In the future, there will be fewer and fewer women who can embroider, so I won't show that I am stupid." Everyone laughed more and more.

Situ Pan walked into the city with them, listened to them all the way, asked for advice when he didn't understand, and understood a lot of things.For example, the Taiwan government advocates less embroidery on clothes.Embroidery is extremely skillful. If the women in the world do not embroider often, they will have a lot of labor to do other things.Jia Cong is really talented.

When he returned to the inn, the boss asked him if he was not going home for the New Year because it was close to the Chinese New Year.Situ Pan sighed, "It's hard to go back home."

The boss said with relief: "Every year, many people celebrate the New Year in the inn. The high officials were less away from home earlier, it's just that they are not used to it." Situ Pan smiled bitterly, and went back to the house with his arms folded.

On New Year's Eve, Situ Pan remembered that many scholars waiting for the exam lived in temples in the outskirts of the city, so he wanted to visit them.I got up early in the morning and took the car out of the Tianqi Temple outside the west city gate. I saw that it was very lively here. It turned out that someone was giving porridge.After inquiring, it was the Yanjing Charity Association who presided over it. Today, it is giving porridge and clothing in many nunneries, temples, and Taoist temples.Let me ask again, this charity will have this event every year and festival, it is well known in Beijing and even the suburban counties, and there are people who come from other places to get winter clothes.Situ Pan took a look and saw that the porridge kitchen was in order, the porridge was thick and fragrant, and there was a big pickle jar beside the porridge bucket, so he nodded unconsciously.But he turned to a large signboard with block letters on it: Yanjing Charity Association, President Shi Xiangyun.There are a few words surrounded by two arcs at the back - the wife of Mr. Jia Baoyu in Rongguo Mansion.Co-authoring Rongguo Mansion has quietly won the hearts of many people.Then I went to the temple to inquire about the scholars who were waiting for the exam. The monk said: "Scholars don't live in the temple anymore, they all go to the post office to write letters for others part-time." Situ Pan was disappointed.

This was the first year that Jia She and Jia Cong spent back in Beijing.Mrs. Xing and Chen Ruijin didn't come to the Taiwan government. There are no female relatives in the government, and only trustees of the family director.On the thirty night, Jia Zheng hesitated again and again, and finally led his children and grandchildren back to Rongguo Mansion.

With such a big event happening this year, it is reasonable to say that the regent Jia Cong should be the focus of the banquet. He never thought that he would be flamboyantly ignored by Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng.The two old men had never been at loggerheads all their lives, but now they formed an alliance, and started talking about Jia Lan's marriage both softly and hard.I really can't blame them.Jia Lan is the eldest grandson of the second wife, and there are several children his age. Even Jia Meng has a girlfriend at school.Earlier, there were a few aunts and uncles standing in front of her, but since Tanchun Xichun got married, Jia Lan has been standing there like a target.

Jia Cong knew that Jia Lan had something on his mind earlier, so he didn't dare to tell others, just to watch how he dealt with it.Jia Lan first used a trick to pretend to be deaf and dumb.According to what his father and uncle said, he just responded with his mouth and nodded vigorously.It wasn't until Jia Zheng said that he would ask the official media to find a girl for him, that Jia Lan said: "The grandson wants to find someone he likes, not a grandson who is randomly drawn."

Jia Zheng was annoyed, and clapped the case and said, "You've been saying this since your uncle got married! How many years have you been perfunctory to me!"

Jia Lan said: "I can't help if I don't meet the grandson I like."

Jia She coughed twice: "That's it. Huan'er, from tomorrow onwards, you will take over the work from Lan'er. Lan'er, you only need to find a wife. That's it." The old man raised the wine cup Drank it down.Just as Baoyu was about to speak, Jia Huan stomped hard.

Jia Lan hurriedly said, "Where is it so easy to pick it up? I don't have anything to do all of a sudden, I won't be idle."

Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Cong, and Jia Cong hurried forward to pour wine for his father.Jia She took a sip slowly, put down the wine cup and said, "I don't want to be bored, do I. Hurry up and marry my wife."

Jia Zheng was beside him and said, "That's right! Your uncle is also very busy. You hurry up and marry a wife to help him. From tomorrow onwards, you won't be in charge."

"Grandpa doesn't know how many things I have on hand!" Jia Lan was a little anxious, "Uncle Huan's school also has a lot of things to do." Looking at Jia Huan.

Jia Huan said with a smile: "No problem. The school belongs to your third aunt, and I was just helping out. Besides, I didn't do these things for you a few years ago? Don't worry, your uncle did it. You can find a wife in Ansheng. Baoyu kicked Jia Huan again.

Jia Lan stumbled: "Where can I find a wife with white eyebrows and red eyes!"

"I don't care where you look for it!" Jia She said, "I just want a nephew's wife. Since you don't like the one at home, you have to find it yourself."

Seeing that Jia Lan was about to jump up from his chair in a hurry, Jia Cong hurriedly said, "It's Chinese New Year now. We'll discuss it next year."

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng shouted in unison: "Shut up!" Jia Amnesty put down the wine cup, and Jia Zheng took the case.

Jia Cong quickly winked at his father: "Father, don't worry. As the saying goes, you can't be a married couple..."

Before he finished speaking, Jia Amnesty replayed the case again: "Shut up! Even if you become the regent, you are still my son!"

"Yes yes yes! You are Lao Tzu!" Jia Cong stood up and bowed, "I have to be reasonable too, don't I?"

Jia Amnesty snorted and said, "I don't want to be reasonable right now, old man!"

Jia Cong didn't dare to make any more detours, leaned close to his father and whispered: "Father, I know the root cause." Jia She glanced at him sideways.Jia Cong then bit his ear, "It's useless for you to force him. Lan'er is a stubborn man with a stubborn heart. Forcing him not only can't cure the root cause, but also can't cure the symptoms. Leave it to my son, and I will talk to him later. " Jia She glanced at him again, snorted, and didn't say yes or no.

After the banquet was over, Jia Lan said that he was going to pick up his mother, and he was about to run away.Jia Amnesty shouted, "Lan'er, stop!" He looked at Jia Cong again.

Jia Cong glared at him and said, "You heartless boy! Didn't you listen to your uncle to plead for you just now? Hurry up and sit in my yard." He winked again.

Jia Lan hurriedly said, "Third Uncle Cong is always very busy, so it's easy for you to teach me. My nephew will listen to you."

Jia Cong snorted and stood up slowly.Jia Huan said from the side: "Do you want me to go there? Otherwise, I will see my son?"

"Didn't you watch enough at home every day?" Jia Cong slapped the table, "Do you want to show off? Is my daughter not around?"

"That's a good idea!" Jia Huan shook his head with a smile, "That's right, it's just showing sincerity! My son is getting stronger and tighter. Now I want to hug him..."

"Stop!" Jia Cong picked up the wine cup and drank the remaining wine, "There is still a bachelor here." Nai waved at Jia Lan, "Come with me, I have something to tell you." He led the way out.

Jia Lan lets Jia Huan go first.Jia Huan said, "You go between the two of us."

Jia Lan said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid I won't make it if I run away." Reluctantly, she stepped forward to follow.The three of them had just left the Rongxi Hall when they heard Jia She and Jia Zheng sighed at the same time.

The three uncles and nephews entered the Pear Fragrance Courtyard and sat down in the study.Jia Cong ordered tea and refreshments.Jia Huan first reached out and took a piece of osmanthus chestnut cake and chewed it slowly in his mouth, obviously he was not going to give a speech.Jia Lan sat upright with his back straight.

Jia Cong looked at Jia Lan's meeting, and suddenly said: "Hanlin Xu Zhongtang, the third son Xu Ci, has passed the examination and is now waiting for Chunwei. He has excellent talents and learning. If there is no accident, it will be no problem to be a Jinshi. Even if you do well, you can enter the top three. He married his wife Yao Shi two years ago, who is the granddaughter of Yao Qiming, the supervisor of the Qin Tianjian. She is soft-tempered, virtuous and generous, and has the character of her cousin Xue's family in her early years. Mr. Xu respects her very much. "

Jia Lan was puzzled: "Why did Third Uncle Cong tell me this?"

Jia Cong took a sip of tea and watched his meeting: "Last month, Jin Yiwei captured Yao Qiming from the yamen, and there was no news after that. Yao Qiming also has a married granddaughter. I heard that something happened to Yao's family. Immediately give that woman a face. The Xu family still respects Yao Shi as before. Mrs. Xu even specially scolded the other two daughter-in-laws because they gossip in front of Yao Shi. Xu Ci also often comforts Yao Shi and stays in her house more Peace of mind. It was found out a few days ago that Yao Shi is pregnant."

A thought suddenly flashed into Jia Lan's mind, and his eyes widened suddenly: "Uncle Cong...tell me what to do."

Jia Cong took another sip of tea: "How should I put it. Yao and Xu Ci didn't get married because of love, Xu Ci prefers a housemate. The Xu family is not very good to Yao, and there are often injustices. Yao family, since the second sister-in-law of Bao Bao criticized her for being like Xue Baochai in the early years, she must not be very happy. Sister Xue has always pretended to be uncomfortable in our house and was not sincere; only after Xue Pan stood up did she slow down. Slowly happy. However, the current era, the current capital, and the education of a woman like Yao will allow her to be content with this kind of life. Especially when Yao's family is in disaster, it is extremely rare for Xu Ci and Xu Jia to be like this. What do you think of Wei Ruoheng's mother? She is still an eldest wife who has raised an excellent son. Therefore, at least the Yao family is very grateful to the Xu family. The Xu family has never given up on her."

Jia Huan suddenly put down the dim sum in his hand and raised his hand.Jia Cong asked with his eyes.Jia Huan said: "Is not giving up in adversity actually a kindness? Isn't it a matter of course?"

"Of course not." Jia Cong said, "Well, the standard for this thing is not set by irrelevant people. Who wouldn't talk about morally empty teeth? How many serious companies can do it? Xu's actions will bring Yao's A sense of gratitude. At this juncture, Xu Ci still takes good care of her—of course, you can also feel that it is only right and proper, but isn’t that how the bonds between people come about? So, Jia Lan.” Jia Cong looked at his nephew and said seriously, "I don't care if you want to pry her. You have the freedom to pursue love. You can decide for yourself. A woman who has received such an education meets such a husband and husband's family, and she has just conceived a child. She will go with you ?"
