The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that Jia Cong gave the two gentlemen [-] personality test questions, which stunned King Qi. "Mr. Zhou, what does this mean?"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "My lord, there are 28 questions in total, 20 of them are just a cover to confuse the two of them; only two questions are useful. The fifth question and the second question No. [-]."

King Qi hurriedly lowered his head to look for those two questions.

fifth question.Which of the following flowers do you like best?

Armor, plum blossom.B, orchid.C, lotus.Ding, peony flower.

No.20 five questions.Which of the following poems do you like best?

A, the emperor can't get on the boat when he comes.

B, Pedestrians fight against wind and sand in darkness.

C, repenting to teach her husband and son-in-law to seek a title.

Ding, the lotus in Yingri is red in another way.

For the fifth question, Mr. Wu chose C, and Mr. Zhao chose B. For the second question of No.20, Mr. Wu chose D, and Mr. Zhao chose C.King Qi asked: "How can you identify the author from these two questions?"

Jia Cong said seriously: "Just now, when Ling Dang was silently writing the playbook, I read it by the side. There are a total of [-] fold plays, among which there are more than a dozen words such as lotus, lotus, hanlian, and fulou."

Shen Zhimo said: "Fourteen places."

Jia Cong said: "At that time, I knew that the author liked lotus flowers very much. Just now when Mr. Wu came in, I saw lotus flowers embroidered on his collar, belt, fan bag, and purse. Looking at Mr. Zhao again, he was on the desk. I guess Mr. Wu is very fond of lotus, but Mr. Zhao is not. My lord, although Mr. Zhao can memorize the playbook written by Mr. Wu, he cannot memorize Mr. Wu's personal preferences. Can you imagine that a person who doesn't like lotus very much wrote more than a dozen lotus in his opera book?"

Everyone in the audience was stunned.Mr. Zhao was dumbfounded, and Cui Ju, who came in with him, was also stunned.On the contrary, Mr. Wu quietly glanced at Jiang Yuhan.Jia Cong immediately understood what was going on, and looked up at the sky.After a long while, the child of the Kong family said first: "It's reasonable. The text is born from the heart, and the person who loves the lotus writes the lotus."

King Qi nodded while twirling his beard, and asked, "Sheng Zhao, are you convinced?" Mr. Zhao was still in a daze.

Jia Cong said: "Check out how many lotus, lotus, and lotus flowers are in the four opera books. Mr. Zhao must have a lot of articles at home? Send them to his house to find out if he likes to write lotus. How many are there?" The object has a lotus pattern. Similarly, go to Mr. Wu’s house to see how many lotus-shaped objects there are, and how many lotus characters are in the poems and articles.”

Mr. Zhao hesitated for a while, a flash of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, he gritted his teeth, and said with a wry smile, "No need."

Jia Cong frowned and looked at him without saying a word.Everyone looked at this side, and they were puzzled when they saw this.After a while, someone couldn't help asking: "Mr. Zhou, why are you looking at him?"

Jia Cong apologized: "Missed." He thought for a moment and cupped his hands, "Lord Lu, can we have a few words quietly." Master Lu hurriedly looked at King Qi.

King Qi nodded.Lord Lu then ordered people to push the screen away, led Jia Cong to the next door to the official seat, and sent the people inside out.Jia Congfang pulled him and said in a low voice: "My lord, at first I thought Zhao was just greedy for a while, I'm afraid I was wrong."

"Oh?"

"I originally assumed that he lived next to Hechun Ban, and for some reason peeked and overheard the scripts of the other four plays, and had a very good memory, and remembered "Zijian Nanzi" after listening to it. Today, I made a fuss This time, I never thought that I would use such a strange method to expose him. Then, is it possible for him to be eliminated by the nobleman?"

Mr. Lu said: "Fame is definitely not guaranteed, I'm afraid there will be some boards."

"For a master Juren, getting rid of his fame is tantamount to killing his life. Should he be unwilling to argue a few words? Even if he vents his pent-up anger." Jia Cong pointed to the next door and said, "Your Excellency can Have you noticed his expression just now? He hesitated for a long time before he made up his mind to admit defeat, and spoke very quickly."

Master Lu was puzzled and said, "After hesitating, I feel that I have no chance of winning. Isn't it unusual to admit defeat?"

"Then he should say that." Jia Cong pretended to sigh, and slowly shook his head, "No need..." Zifang smiled wryly at this moment, "Mr. Zhou is very capable, late born... I am willing to bow down."

Master Lu thought for a while: "It really should be so."

"But he said 'no need' too quickly, it doesn't look like admitting defeat, but rather like cutting the tail to survive."

Lord Lu hurriedly asked: "He's about to lose his fame, why did he end up with a broken tail?"

Jia Cong said: "That's why I guess, what happened today is not accidental greed, but premeditated." Lord Lu's eyes moved.Jia Cong went on to say, "Also. If he argues with me, I will definitely ask the nobleman to send someone to his home to fetch other articles to read. If he has something in his stomach, the article must be well written, and the nobleman will be very willing." Look. What if the nobleman cherishes his talents and keeps his fame? After thinking about it, he resolutely admits defeat. It can be seen that he is more afraid of being seen by nobles than losing fame. Or, other things in the house being seen by others. Then I'm afraid it's not as simple as getting rid of his reputation and being punished."

Lord Lu couldn't help nodding: "Mr. Zhou is right. This person is really suspicious. How do you think we should deal with it?"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "My lord, the book is indeed written by Mr. Wu, and Mr. Wu has some physical evidence. Mr. Zhao can't kill Mr. Wu just because he can write the book verbatim. Therefore, he must have prepared someone Evidence." He leaned into Master Lu's ear and whispered for a long time. "If there is no such person, maybe my calculation is wrong."

Mr. Lu had already believed him, and immediately said: "Just follow Mr. Zhou's words."

So he recruited a few people from outside, and called Mr. Zhao to the official seat here.Mr. Zhao just walked past the screen, and the screen was pulled back immediately.He glanced at Lord Lu, and cupped his hands indifferently.Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head. A guard quietly slapped him and knocked him out.The other two came up and tied him up, covered his face with a black scarf, plugged his ears and threw him in the corner of the official seat.Jia Cong and Master Lu looked at each other and smiled.

No one left in the theater.Some worried about and refused to go to the spring class, some wanted to see the excitement and were reluctant to leave, and there were endless discussions, not to mention how lively it was.Two loud voices dressed as petty officials suddenly came out from the official seat and shouted, "Who knows Mr. Zhao? Who knows Mr. Zhao?"

Suddenly a Confucian scholar jumped out: "I, I! I know Mr. Zhao!"

The little official looked at him: "Do you know him? Who are you?"

The Confucian scholar cupped his hands and said, "We are literary friends."

"Oh. Are you familiar with him?"

"Very acquainted."

"Do you recognize him going to his house?"

"The late students recognize it."

The little official nodded: "We have to go to Mr. Zhao's house to get some evidence. If we recognize it, then lead the way."

The Confucian scholar cupped his hands again: "Wan Sheng is willing." Then he led the little official away.

Master Lu and Jia Cong watched secretly from behind.Jia Cong pondered: "Did you notice the look in this man's eyes just now? He pursed his mouth hard, and there was a smile on the corners of his eyes and brows, as if he was in the middle of his chest. My lord, I'm afraid this is a big fish."

Lord Lu was very happy, stroked his beard and smiled, "I am too lazy to think about it, please Mr. Zhou for advice."

"I'm a junior, how can I dare to teach you." Jia Cong also laughed, "If Mr. Zhao's house only hides evidence against himself, he would not hesitate to admit defeat when he heard that I suggested going to his house to find articles. He After hesitating, he knew that his family must have false evidence related to the five playbooks. Therefore, his accomplice happily led the adults down, thinking that he could go straight to the play garden after getting out the false evidence. Poor The accomplices don't know, and the two officers will leave him alone to investigate other things."

Mr. Lu nodded again and again: "It's reasonable, it's reasonable. Mr. Zhou is indeed a great talent." Jia Cong smiled and bowed.

The two returned to the official seat of the King of Qi, Master Lu approached the King of Qi and Master Kong, and explained with great interest.The brocade robed men who were sitting beside the two of them all listened with interest and nodded frequently.Cui's parents frowned for a long time, only wanted to relieve themselves, and walked out.He just walked to a slightly secluded place, and also fainted from a pain in the back of his head—how could Liu Xiaoqi be idle?

Jia Cong saw that he had gone out, and hurriedly said to Mr. Lu: "Now the truth is revealed, Mr. Wu and the troupe are both innocent, and they have been raped for no reason. Can you get everyone in the troupe to get up?"

King Qi nodded in agreement.A servant with a high-pitched voice went over and shouted: "Your honor knows that you have been wronged, get up." The theater troupe shouted "Thank you, nobleman" in unison.Then Mr. Wu took a few steps forward to help Jiang Yuhan up.With that look, Jia Cong, even if he is blind, can see that the two of them have an abnormal relationship between a man and a man.Baba'er knelt for so long, his knees became stiff, and it took half a day for the group of people to help him get up.He said again in a sharp voice, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Mr. Wu hurriedly supported Jiang Yuhan to come over.Jia Cong quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite. It's just a coincidence. If Mr. Wu didn't love Lian like crazy, where would I find such a good bargain?"

As soon as the words were finished, Brother Jiang Jing quickly gouged out Mr. Wu's eyes, making Jia Cong look straight, and couldn't help trembling: his eyes were piercing, and his teeth were cold.Shen Zhimo also whispered in a low voice: "That little actor is a bit older, he just gave him such a vicious look." Jia Cong frowned: This family is really chaotic.

Just as he was thinking, Jiang Yuhan led the actors and actresses who had arrived in front of him and wanted to bow down.Jia Cong said solemnly: "It's all for a thousand children, don't kneel, I never brought any reward."

Jiang Yuhan couldn't help laughing: "Why don't you ask for a reward from the master." Brother Jiang Jing gave Jia Cong a look from the side.A "dang" sounded in Jia Cong's mind, and he understood why he thought this child was different from Mei Ji.

In the early years, Jia Xu arranged for people to rescue Meiji from Wu Wangfu, and brought her back to Dajiala, where she was appeased and taught and sent to school.Jia Cong and his wife did not return to the island until the next year.When Chen Ruijin heard about it, she took Jia Cong to see her.Because Mei Ji had been taught by Chen Ruijin during the most difficult and hopeless time, seeing her very intimate, she was somehow afraid of Jia Cong.Jia Cong was so depressed that he complained all the way back, "It's clear that I've been thinking about her since she was young and wanted to save her!" Chen Ruijin laughed at him for several days.

Meiji looked pitiful back then, and brother Jiang Jing was also pitiful in front of her.However, Brother Jiang Jing looks at Jia Cong with a deliberate seductive look.Jia Cong was too straightforward, knowing that brother Jing was a man, he didn't think about it at all.Thinking back now, if he was supposed to be a woman, the meaning would be quite obvious.Jia Cong secretly sighed in his heart: I am afraid that the clever child will be taught to be perverted by the environment.Now that Jiang Yuhan and the others had finished beating Qian'er straightened up, Brother Jiang Jing naively hooked up with Jia Cong again.Jia Cong felt more and more regretful, and looked at him with pity.

Because it took some time for the petty officials to search Mr. Zhao's house, the king of Qi was idle for a while.Lu Jia took the opportunity to walk up to Master Lu and said loudly: "Uncle, just now my nephew was listening to the opera upstairs, but actually only listened to one part of it. I didn't pay attention to the other three parts."

Master Lu laughed until his beard pouted: "It's such a good show, you don't like it?"

Lu Jia said with a bright voice: "Uncle doesn't know. Listen to it at the first turn, we are all drunk. Brother Jiang is really good at singing." Brother Jiang Jing bowed to him with a smile.Lu Jia smiled and pointed at Jia Cong, "Brother Pian Zhou looks like a bullshit. We all say that he has eyes but doesn't know gold and jade."

Jia Cong said: "I'm impatient, and I can't listen to the music that needs to be carefully appreciated. Brother Cui Xian invited me to come and trick me. It's a lively show. I just thought that singing would cause trouble in heaven." Everyone smiled unconsciously.

Lu frame went on to say: "We all praised Brother Jiang for his good figure and appearance, but he said something else." Then he quoted Jia Cong's words that "women are women's good views, and men are men's good views", saying It made Jiang Yuhan and his father feel hot.Lu Jia clapped his hands fiercely and said, "Who knows that brother Zhou got enlightened by a thought, and wrote an article on the spot." Nai gave a thumbs up, "It's really wonderful! After I read it, I only felt enlightened, so I didn't care about listening to it." What drama?"

Mr. Lu hurriedly said: "I'm waiting for a good article, and I'll see it soon!" Lu Jia hurriedly took out Jia Cong from his pocket and copied Mr. Gong Zizhen's "The Story of Bingmei" and held it to Mr. Lu with both hands.

Master Lu took it and looked at Wei from the beginning, and repeatedly praised: "Good article! Great writing!" He turned and gave it to King Qi.

After seeing it, King Qi nodded in praise and said, "It's like expressing happiness through plum blossoms!" He handed it to Kong Yunxian again.

After seeing it, Kong Yunxian praised it again and again.Jia Cong just hid aside and pretended to be humble.The king of Qi then ordered Lu Jia to recite.Lu Jia held his head high and held the manuscript and read it aloud.The king of Qi is good at literature, even the squeaky voice of the servants in this official seat has been educated, and everyone knows what to say.After listening to this article, there was a lot of applause, and the younger Confucian scholars stepped forward to bow.

Jia Cong thought he had an idea, embarrassed, hurriedly returned the salute, and said: "The ancients said that articles are natural. I don't like men dressing up as women, so I feel it. Take this child as an example. He is old. Small, the vocal cords and other male secondary characteristics have not yet fully developed, so it is good to sing Danjiao. After two years, the voice will naturally become thicker, and the waist will also thicken, and singing Danjiao will be tiring."

Lu Jia cheered at the side and said: "You really don't like to listen to dramas. You don't know that some celebrities are more women than women."

Jia Cong spread his hands: "It's not that there are no women in this world. Why don't you just let women sing the female roles? Forcing men to dress up as women, is it any different from twisting plum blossoms and only allowing me to sing and not to be close? Don't mention that the court doesn't allow officials. Sex with prostitutes, that thing has been a dead letter since the previous dynasty." There was a moment of silence in the official seat: everyone knew what he said, but no one dared to say it.

Suddenly, brother Jiang Jing said in a crying voice: "If a man can't sing Danjiao, what about me? What should I do?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "You are still young, you can change your career and do anything in time."

Then Jiang Yuhan and Jiang Jing shouted at the same time: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou!" "I don't!"
