The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Not long after the theater troupe left, the people who searched Mr. Zhao's house came back.The officials brought back a large stack of manuscripts.Jia Cong felt that he had taken care of his own business, and the rest was Qi's domestic affairs, so he discussed with Lu Jia and said goodbye.Master Lu hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhou is a man of great wisdom. There are many doubts about this matter, so it's better to wait." Lu Jia and Cui Ju agreed in unison, and all four eyes flashed into stars.Jia Cong Wangtian: You two are not children, this trick is useless, okay!

Even so, Jia Cong still couldn't leave, so he had to sit idle for a while with his face drooping.A Confucian scholar flashed out behind King Qi, wearing plain robes and a square scarf, with a very learned face, standing at the desk and flipping through Mr. Zhao's manuscript.I was still calm and relaxed before, but suddenly I didn't know what I saw, I was shocked, and hurriedly turned back more than ten pages.Nai thought for a moment, took a small stack of manuscripts, walked to King Qi, and whispered back to King Qi and Master Kong.

The two were shocked immediately, King Qi took the manuscript and flipped through it hastily, frowning tightly.The brocade robed man winked at the person beside him, and that person slipped over quietly and whispered to Master Lu.Lord Lu frowned immediately after hearing this.Shen Zhimo became curious, his eyes rolled around, and his ears pricked up to hear the news.Jia Cong watched his heart with his eyes.Master Lu turned to Jia Cong and said loudly: "Mr. Zhou, there are four articles today, one of which was written by Jia Sheng, and the other three were written by Yi Sheng. May you tell them apart?" Everyone looked over.

Jia Cong thought to himself: What's wrong with this king's writing style appraisal today?If the style of writing is obviously different, they will not frown.I'm afraid there is a style of imitation here.He thought for a while and said, "There is a way to try. But because there are only four articles, it is too small, so it may not be accurate."

Master Lu was overjoyed when he said "you can give it a try". Hearing that he thought there were few articles, he hurriedly said, "There are as many as you want."

Jia Cong said: "If there are enough articles, you can use particle probability to look them up."

Master Lu smiled and said: "Mr. Zhou's words are so profound that I don't understand."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "It's not that it's profound, it's that you haven't been in touch with it. Han Changli said that there is a specialization in art. Those things that adults usually deal with in the yamen, even the late students don't know anything about it." Nai explained, "Articles are like handwriting. Everyone writes It must be different. Some people like to call themselves 'Yu', while others like to use 'Wu'. The rest of the words 'What is the same as Ye Yanzai' are all used by literati, and the frequency of use has their own habits. If there are many works written by A and B, Then we can calculate the usage frequency of their respective use of "Zhihuzhe Yeyanzai", that is, how many "zhi", how many "hustle", how many "zhe" are used in every one hundred characters. One or two articles The characteristics of the article may not be obvious; if there are enough articles, adults will naturally find that the probability of each literati using these words is fixed."

Jia Cong's words contained a lot of words from later generations, Master Lu was a little at a loss and couldn't quite understand them.His nephew Lu Chuan studied in Dajiala for three years, and immediately understood Jia Cong's meaning, he hurriedly said: "Uncle, I know Mr. Zhou's meaning, it is very reasonable. Why don't you follow this method and try?"

Master Lu happily said: "You know?"

Lu frame nodded: "I know."

Master Lu looked back at King Qi and cupped his hands: "Master, why don't you let my nephew have a try?"

King Qi naturally didn't understand, but he had to pretend to understand!Shaking his head: "Forget it. Anyway, there is no other way for now, let him try."

That Kong Yunxian was an honest boy, so he asked for advice: "My lord, what method is Mr. Zhou talking about?"

King Qi laughed and said, "I don't know, just look at it." Then he ordered Lu Jia to try as Jia Cong said.

Lu frame said: "There must be works by A and B, the more the better." The king of Qi ordered people to take them.

Lu Jia then began to read Mr. Zhao's articles, first counting the total number of words in each article, and then sequentially counting out the number of words of "Zhihuzhe Ye Yanzai", and recorded them on the list in Arabic numerals and characters.

Jia Cong said from the side: "Counting numbers is an extremely complicated and careful thing, and it is very easy to make mistakes. It is better to arrange three or four people to count separately and then check the answers."

Lu Jia hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhou's words are reasonable. Please add a few more people who are familiar with numbers and do things carefully, and each of them will count once, so that there will be no mistakes."

King Qi still didn't understand at this moment, and nodded pretendingly: "Yes."

The people below recommended four meticulous gentlemen, including Lu Frame, a total of five, each with their own points.Before finishing ordering, someone came in with a stack of manuscripts from outside.

After Mr. Zhao's article was clicked, Lu Jia took the list of five people and corrected it, all of them were the same, and no number was different.Then he nodded, and calculated the frequency percentages of Mr. Zhao's use of the seven particle "Zhihu Zheye Ye Yanzai" in sequence.Sure enough, although there is a slight deviation, it is roughly the same.The five people then counted the number of words in the new manuscript.After counting for a while, the frequency of this person's use of particle is also calculated, which is completely different from that of Mr. Zhao.

Lu Jia asked his uncle: "Where is the other article to check?"

Master Lu said: "Here it is." Then he took out a manuscript from his bosom. "This... Let me check. You tell me how to count."

Knowing that the article was inconvenient for outsiders to read, Lu Jia taught his uncle how to count.Mr. Lu personally detailed the data in this article.Everyone in the house stared at them with bated breath, no one dared to cough, no one even blinked.Not long after the numbers were counted, Lu Jia calculated the probability of using the particle, and said loudly: "This article is not made by Mr. Zhao, but by another Mr. A." Master Lu heaved a sigh of relief.Many people in the official seat, including the man in brocade robe, also breathed a sigh of relief.King Qi smiled.

The uncle and nephew held the list and went to the king of Qi.Lu Jia pretended to tell the principle to Master Kong, and explained it to King Qi by the way.Kong Yunxian repeatedly praised "It's reasonable and reasonable!" At the end, Lu Jia pointed to the number list of the last article and said: "From the probability of using the seven particles, this article and the articles sent in later were written by the same person. The probabilities of particle usage in the

Kong Yunxian exclaimed: "It's really interesting! I never thought there is such a way."

King Qi twirled his beard and nodded slowly: "It seems that Zhao Sheng is very good at touching porcelain."

Mr. Lu said: "Zhao Sheng's home has found several revised manuscripts of four operas. It is obvious that he has come prepared. If the government is fooled by him and sends people to his house to get the revised manuscripts of the operas, his accomplices will By the way, he brought these three articles together. The government misunderstood that the five opera scripts were all written by him, so he offered these three along the way. When the master saw it, he would have doubts and inquiries. He could ask the master to show him that one. He has a good memory and can write silently just by looking at it."

Jia Cong clapped his hands beside him and said, "That's brilliant! Touch a set of porcelain."

Lord Lu smiled and said: "After hesitating for a long time, he just surrendered as if he had cut his tail to survive, because he didn't want people to see these three articles."

Jia Cong said: "If he wants to touch the porcelain in the back, the premise must be to touch the porcelain in the front. People have inertia of thinking. The master just concluded that his playbook was hidden by He Chunban, so he will naturally take pity on him. He will take it out again. When a new set of porcelain comes to touch, others will inevitably feel that he is more and more pitiful, and the articles written so hard will be hidden again. If the previous playbook Pengci is punctured, they will not believe him in the future." Nai Xiao Looking at Master Lu, "Once this set of porcelain is not finished in the future, will the punishment be more severe than the expulsion of fame?"

Lord Lu looked back at King Qi.King Qi said with a sullen face: "There must be someone behind this person. Check and find out the root cause."

Jia Cong said: "I'm afraid he is in the same group as the wanted criminal who was making a fuss outside just now and wanted to kill Squad Leader Jiang."

Master Lu immediately said: "The lower officials also have the same thoughts."

Jia Cong went on to say: "Otherwise, if the opera singers are singing and listening to operas, and everything is fine at the end of the opera, the wanted criminal with white eyebrows and red eyes will make trouble? If the government cuts off the troupe and is guilty, the wanted criminal and his accomplices will make trouble again." Let’s get up, it’s unknown if one or two court officials were killed in the chaos.”

A follower jumped out immediately and shouted: "Impossible! The nobleman is here, who dares to be presumptuous!"

Jia Cong shrugged: "Your nobleman in white dragon fish clothes, ordinary spectators don't know? Didn't you hear what the wanted criminal just said? First, Cai Guo's son had a private meeting with the little widow, and someone told him, so he could arrange an ambush to complete the assassination." Full house All changed colors.Jia Cong changed the topic, "But everyone, don't worry, their assassination target will never be a nobleman."

Lord Lu hurriedly asked, "Why do you see that?"

Jia Cong said: "It took so much effort to pretend to be a talented person, isn't it just to please the nobleman and get reused? If you want to assassinate the nobleman, why bother? Besides, the imperial court will definitely investigate if the nobleman has any problems. The fake ones can't be true. , What if they are found out? I guess, the target should be a—hmm—” He pointed to the manuscript on the desk, “someone who might help Mr. talk.

King Qi thought for a long time, and said to Mr. Lu: "Since this is the case, Zhao Sheng will also come to you for interrogation. He has taken it, hasn't he?"

Mr. Lu said: "It's next door."

King Qi nodded, looked at Jia Cong and said kindly: "Mr. Zhou is here to study?"

"Yes." Jia Cong said, "Qi State is the most prosperous literary style and has many talents. From the prince to the common people, they all worship literature and respect saints. It is also the hometown of Confucius and Mencius. When you come to Qi State to be bookish, you can't say that you will be able to pass the next subject as a late student." Also unknown."

King Qi was quite satisfied with his flattery, and his eyebrows and eyes widened with a smile: "As the saying goes, you can read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. It's good to study. According to the following subjects, the state of Qi is in the midst of employing people .”

Jia Cong hurriedly bowed, "Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Grandpa."

King Qi told Master Lu a few more words and stood up.Jia Cong and others hurried to the side to make way.King Qi led Master Kong and the men in brocade robes to go out in a mighty manner.

Shen Zhimo couldn't help whispering: "When you meet a talent like Mr. Zhou, don't hurry up and give him the top official hat! Why do you want to take the imperial examination?"

Jia Cong said with a low smile: "This master values ​​fame and fame the most. If he doesn't win a Jinshi and ranks, he won't give him an official title."

Just as he was talking, a beardless old servant with a pleasant smile came in, holding a folding fan in both hands: "Mr. Zhou, this is a gift from the nobleman."

Jia Cong hurriedly took it with both hands respectfully: "Thank you, nobleman." Shen Zhimo stepped forward and blatantly stuffed the old servant with a purse.

The old servant weighed it, satisfied: "Mr. Zhou is so talented and interesting, he will definitely be named on the gold list." Jia Cong thanked him with a smile.The old servant put up his purse and left without touching the ground.

In the blink of an eye, only Cui Ju, Lu Jia, and Jia Cong were left in the official seat.Jia Cong looked around and there were no outsiders. The two buddies knew who he was, Fang let out a breath, and said with a frown: "My two taels of ink will probably fail the exam in this lifetime."

Lu Jia said solemnly: "You can come up with some questions that you can answer yourself."

Jia Cong patted his head: "That's not going to work. I can't bear the hardships in the Gongyuan either—it's too hard. The exam conditions for candidates must be improved. A place like the Gongyuan should be a cultural relic protection unit." Lu The frame laughed, but Cui Ju didn't understand.

Shen Zhimo asked: "Cui Xianggong, your long follower has been out for a long time and hasn't come back, aren't you worried?"

Cui Ju said: "He has his own place, I can't control it."

Jia Cong glanced at him, shook his head and said: "After all, your family still has a lot of literati, and you don't know how to act." Nai stretched, "Let's go, go back." Everyone then dispersed.

Back at Lu's house, I saw the old man Lu Jian, Jia Cong and others returned to the guest house.Just as he sat down, Shen Zhimo took the lead and shouted: "No discussion! It's time for lunch. I don't know how many possibilities can be guessed about today's matter. There is no time to talk about it. Everything will wait after lunch. "

The whole room laughed.Jia Cong said: "All right, I'll follow you. You have worked hard today. Take a nap after lunch. Maybe you won't have to guess when you wake up. Oh, I'm tired too. Fortunately, King Qi likes to play with the white dragon fish suit." , or I would have to kowtow to him. I said, Lu Jia didn’t seem to tell him that uncle I was Jia Cong, and Master Lu looked at me really pity my talents.”

Shen Zhimo stumbled: "Don't talk about business!" Jia Cong hurriedly slapped his mouth.So he sent someone to the kitchen to fetch lunch.

After dinner, Liu Zhuang sat on the porch listening to the gossip of the guards. Lou Jinqiao came over and asked curiously, "Brother Liu, are you going to the theater today?" Liu Zhuang said "Yes".Lou Jinqiao took advantage of the situation and sat next to him, "How about that play? I heard it's about Confucius' play."

"That's right." Liu Zhuang said, "It's an anecdote from Confucius."

"How good is the singing? Does the judge like to hear it?"

"You sing very well." Liu Zhuang glanced at him, "Many dignitaries went to the opera, and even gave the troupe a lot of rewards."

Lou Jinqiao unconsciously smiled: "In the future, I will definitely listen to this play, so as to gain the light of the sage Confucius." He stood up and left.Liu Zhuang watched him from behind for a long time.

After taking a nap for a while, everyone got up and stretched their muscles and bones, preparing to have a meeting to study the messy bustle in the theater.But at this moment, a door came in from outside, and returned: "Hechun class leader Jiang and his wife brought Brother Jiang outside to ask for an interview, saying that they came to thank Zhou Xianggong for the banquet given today."

Jia Cong was taken aback: "They brought their son together?"

"Yes."

"So unscrupulous." Jia Cong rubbed his chin, "Are you scared or not?"

Shen Zhimo rested his cheeks and said leisurely: "Mr. Zhou, pay attention to Mrs. Nanzi. I see that he is persistent towards you."

Jia Cong was taken aback: "Huh?" Then he bared his teeth and said, "Hey! I'm straight, straight! Not all men are bisexual!"
