The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Cui Ju proposed to check the modal particles of the forged letters to identify those that were not written by General Ouyang and his father.Master Lu thought for a moment and said, "You can give it a try."

Cui Mian immediately bowed to him and said, "Lord Lu, I beg you to lead us into the palace right now."

Master Lu said: "Everything has not been prepared for this meeting, why is it so hasty?"

Cui Mian smiled wryly and said: "If you are ready, it will be too late. My clan uncle is meticulous. Since I didn't agree, he will definitely make a perfect plan and try to ask someone to go to the prince's side to say something."

Master Lu frowned slightly.King Qi really couldn't bear the wind, Cui Mian wanted to strike earlier.He thought: he is following the son.Cui Mian is the father-in-law of the Fifth Highness, and his daughter only gave birth to a big princess, and the child in his womb is still unknown.In any case, even if the Cui family and Cui Mian escaped this difficulty, their future has come to an end.There are many marriages between the direct branches of their family and the Lu family. It is not that there are no members of the Lu family under the command of the third highness, and each is the master after all.Furthermore, among the younger generations of the Cui family, Cui Ju is really mediocre, but there are a few young talents in the direct branch.Keeping Cui Ju has the upper hand in the Cui family, and it is good for the son and the Lu family.Then he nodded and said: "Forget it. Master Cui, you and I will go to see the prince."

Cui Mian's eyes were red immediately, and he bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness."

But he called someone to go to Cui Ju's courtyard to get his clothes for going out, and Cui Ju went in person to help his father change his clothes.Cui Mian took the opportunity to tell Cui Ju some words, Cui Ju was stunned.Cui Mian said: "Your father is right."

Not long after, the three left Cui's house and went straight to Prince Qi's mansion.The door was still full of officials waiting to see King Qi.Fortunately, Mr. Lu got the word early, so just go straight in.When entering Qi Wangwai's study, Cui Mian quietly glanced at the room, and there was a faint figure behind the screen.

After the three of them greeted the King of Qi, Master Lu took the lead and said: "My lord, I have recently investigated the case of Baguazhuang, and found an old case." Then he explained in detail how Cui Mian took the blame for his nephew.

King Qi was furious: "There is such a thing!"

Cui Ju kowtowed and said, "my father is burdened by the boy."

King Qi glanced at him: "Do you have any shortcomings in other people's hands?"

"Yes." Cui Ju said with tears in his eyes that he was naughty when he was young, and he read more books about fox ghosts and ghosts, and he believed it very much.One day, he ran into a plain-clothed woman in a cemetery and misunderstood her as a female ghost.Cui Ju was not afraid, and had a close relationship with him in poetry and prose.Later, Cui Ju gradually fell in love with him, and the woman only said that Yin and Yang are separated and that they cannot exceed the etiquette.One day Cui Ju drank too much wine and raped the woman.The woman never appeared again.Cui Ju was so remorseful that he went to the cemetery every day to apologize.Two months later, the girl's maid came to the door, and Cui Ju realized that the girl was not a ghost, but his widowed clan wife.The sister-in-law was pregnant with his own flesh and blood, and wanted to commit suicide by bearing all the charges.The servant girl was aggrieved, so Fang secretly came to see Cui Ju.Speaking of this, Cui Ju was already in tears.

Cui Mian let out a long sigh, and then finished talking about what happened next, but he didn't mention that Cui Ju and the widow gave birth to a little Taoist priest.The old man also wiped his tears and said: "Brother Pu's daughter-in-law was originally married because of Chongxi, but after less than three months of marriage, Brother Pu passed away. She was only 15 years old. When I was a child... I was not yet 17 years old. That is What a child! At first I saw that my son regarded her as a female ghost, and it was just for fun. All the mistakes are the fault of the little minister. It is because the little minister did not teach his son well, how could he just watch the child lose his life ?”

Master Lu said with emotion: "So it's because of this, no wonder."

King Qi frowned.Even though he was held hostage, Cui Mian has already committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.Just thinking about how to deal with it, a maid came out from behind the screen and said softly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is sympathetic." King Qi hurriedly got up and went over.

The room was silent for a long time, and suddenly heard King Qi's voice: "My concubine is right." Cui Mian's eyebrows darkened with joy.Seeing King Qi come out from behind the screen, he said, "Cui Ju is young and ignorant, so it's justifiable. The widow..." He sighed, "Actually, it's a little bit justifiable."

Cui's father and son kowtowed together: "Thank you, my lord, for your mercy."

King Qi said: "Cui Mian, the lonely king will not pursue the matter of you deceiving the lonely king. Lu Aiqing, what does this matter have to do with Bagua Zhuang?"

Master Lu said: "The Cui family has been investigated again in the case of Baguazhuang." Then he revealed that the Cui family's direct branch wanted to make Cui Mian take the blame, and they had prepared evidence early.

King Qi slammed the case: "Presumptuous! Is it fun to be a lonely king!"

Mr. Lu said: "So Mr. Cui proposed to test the style of writing according to Mr. Zhou Ji's method. Maybe the one who helped General Ouyang Tu write the letter and make the account book, and the one who helped Mr. Cui Mian write the letter and make the account book , is the same person."

Cui Ju said, "Maybe it's Mr. Zhao."

Cui Mian said confidently: "No matter who it is, it must be different from the humble minister."

The king of Qi found it very interesting that Jia Cong used the frequency of particle words to distinguish authors. After he tried it many times, he found that this method was not always accurate, because many literati used particles with similar frequencies.Then he hesitated again.Just now that maid came out again and led Qi Wang back behind the screen.King Qi whispered something behind him, but he couldn't hear clearly.After a long time, King Qi said again: "Aifei is a sensible person." Cui Mian immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, King Qi came back from behind the screen and said: "Since that's the case, Lu Aiqing, try it first." He looked at Master Lu and said, "I heard that your two families, Lu and Cui, have always been good friends."

Lord Lu hurriedly said: "I only serve the prince wholeheartedly." King Qi nodded.

When the Cui family and father returned to the mansion, Cui Ju hurriedly asked, "Why does father want me to lie?"

Cui Mian stroked his beard and said triumphantly: "There are so many people who hide wanted criminals as guardians. The government and the public are in chaos these days, and the prince's concubines are busy pleading for others. Except for your brother-in-law's dumb concubine, because she is alone and has no Her natal family, and she was originally very smart, so she would never get involved. She has always been favored, and she can't speak. These days, the prince can only be quiet with her. The prince is old. She is not yet 30 You are old, you are somewhat similar to the widow by the prince's side, Yi feels pity for Brother Pu's daughter-in-law. If you blindly take the fault on yourself and don't even say that Brother Pu's wife is bad, she will turn towards you without knowing it. She risked her life Adultery with the fifth child, I don’t think that the fifth child has hooked up with a wild woman, isn’t that a betrayal of her heart? There will be resentment in her heart. Your sister will immediately share the same hatred with her. Besides, the boy who believes in fox demons and female ghosts is very naive , the more experienced a woman is, the more she likes an innocent boy. I didn't mention that little one, Madam Ma, listen, it's just that we two are willing to take the blame for a widow." The old man shook his head and said, "As for you and Brother Pu What is going on with the daughter-in-law, is there anyone to verify it?"

Cui Ju was dumbfounded, and after a while he said, "Father, do you always understand women so well?"

Cui Mian laughed: "Your father didn't have a bad time when he was young. There are also occasions when the oiran ladies in the building are jealous and fight for your father."

The father and father laughed in unison for a while, Cui Ju thought to himself: "Father, is there a way...to bring their mother and son back?"

Cui Mian grasped the winning ticket and said: "If the prince is serious this time, the whole family will be in danger. No matter how resentful you are, I still have to entrust a few children to our family to take care of. After all, your sister is the fifth princess. Our home is safer than other homes. I will naturally send my grandson back when the time comes. It's just..." He glanced at his son, "That nun doesn't have to come in."

Cui Ju's expression froze: "Father..." Cui Mian glared at him.Cui Ju hesitated for a moment, and answered "Yes" in a low voice.

Cui Mian snorted and said, "Jia Cong quietly sent Brother Liu to tell me about Fengrao Rice." The old man chuckled, "We helped him conceal his identity, and we helped him investigate the case. It is considered that the line of Guoguo has been connected. I don’t know if he is still in Qufu. If he is still there, you can find an excuse to meet him.”

Cui Ju hurriedly said: "Qufu is near, and a fast horse can go back and forth in a day. If there is nothing important, I will go tomorrow."

"No hurry." Cui Mian said, "I just met the prince today, maybe Mr. Lu still needs you for a few days. You tell Mr. Lu to set a date. When he asks why, you just say there It’s too powerful, you want to ask Mr. Zhou how to deal with it.”

Cui Ju immediately ordered someone to go back to the yard to roughly pack his luggage for him, and went to see Mr. Lu himself.Master Lu thought to himself, Zhou Ji, as the lord of a foreign country, and Yu Qi is a pure outsider, I'm afraid he can see it more clearly.He is very wise, he and Cui Ju knew each other in the capital, and lived in Cui's house for a few days, it is normal for Cui Ju to ask him for advice when something happens.So he told him to wait for a few days first, and go back quickly when he left.A few days later, Cui Ju led several people to rush to Qufu.

The sacrifice to Confucius is over, and most of the Confucian scholars in Qufu have dispersed.Cui Ju asked around for Mr. Zhou Ji from Yan Guo.A well-informed person told him: "It's Mr. Zhou who is in his thirties, isn't he? I heard that he knows Mr. Xiao Kong and has moved to live in Confucius's residence."

Cui Ju was overjoyed: "That's right, he really knows Mr. Xiao Kong." He hurried to Confucius' mansion to see him.

When Uncle Menzi came in to report the news, Jia Cong was telling Kong Yunxian about the death of Socrates, which made the young man feel very sorry.Hearing that Cui Ju was coming, he guessed that their family had fallen out with the first branch.Kong Yunxian also knew that the court was in great chaos, so this person who didn't want to see the Cui family hurried away.

Cui Ju came in and bowed to Jia Cong, and narrated the past few days.Zha Wenfeng found out that the document in the secret place of General Ouyang's mansion was written by the same person, who was much more talented than General Ouyang himself, so it was obvious that he did not write it himself.Although the writing style of Cui Mian's writing style was different from that of Cui Mian's writing style, it was not as obvious as General Ouyang's.Jia Cong said with a smile: "This method was originally discovered by me... (in my previous life) when I was playing games with my friends and game partners. I don't want it to be used seriously."

Cui Ju hesitated for a moment, and told the story of the two of them going to see King Qi that day.Jia Cong nodded and said, "You two can sit back and relax. The King of Qi has already believed in you, and the evidence is not important. Qi is still a society governed by individuals."

Cui Ju's face was tangled: "Eh...my father said...in order to keep a few children, they will definitely send their mother and child back. It's just...the old man won't let my friend come in."

Jia Cong touched the back of his head: "You want her to come in?" Cui Ju nodded. "Then will you reconcile with your wife?" Cui Ju was taken aback.Jia Cong shrugged and said, "I don't know what kind of relationship you have with that little widow. I married a woman I like, so I can't figure out how to live with a woman I don't like. If you really like the little widow, you should let her go." Your daughter-in-law is free, let her marry another lover. Your family will have to bear some bad reputation and pay her some money and property. Believe me, after the advent of industrialization, the reputation will become less and less valuable, and the benefits will become more and more shameless But if you just feel that you owe her, forget it. She is much more comfortable being a Taoist nun than your concubine. If you really want to make up for her, you can find a place to settle in a foreign house. Once she enters your house, she will be with you Your daughter-in-law will never stop dying."

Cui Ju said: "My daughter-in-law is very virtuous and will not tolerate her. Now I am the only one who stops her."

Jia Cong snorted and said, "I don't believe you. What's more, after the old father-in-law of the third son fell, you, as the only uncle of the Cui family, must stand out, and the number of people who pay attention to you will be more than before. Your daughter-in-law and the biological mother of your wife It's even more difficult to get along with—you only have that one son." Seeing that he was still hesitating, Jia Cong stood up and walked to him and patted his shoulder, "Listen to Mr. Cui, it's true that the bridge he walks is better than yours. many."

Cui Ju sighed, "Is there no other way?"

"No." Jia Cong said, "I have seen too many tragic examples, I believe you have seen too. He must not be satisfied with your girlfriend, otherwise it would be too easy to change her name and identity to enter the door." Cui Ju sighed again.Jia Cong didn't know where his patience came from, so he comforted him for a long time and sent him away.Cui Ju had come to him to ask about serious matters, but he had long since forgotten to go to Cloud Nine Heavens.

He personally sent Cui Ju out of the gate of the Confucian mansion. Jia Cong jumped three feet high and ran back to the guest courtyard like a child.When entering the door, they shouted: "Seasonal wholesale discounts! Seasonal wholesale discounts! The last three months! Come and buy quickly! Talents who originally cost 5000 taels or 6000 taels are now only [-] taels, and everything is only [-] yuan. money~~"

Liu Xiaoqi leaned out half of her body from the window: "What's the fuss, what's the fuss! Quack is dead."

Jia Cong smiled and went to his window: "Cui Ju reminded me just now. The old man Cui Mian said that once the direct branch of the Cui family falls, they will inevitably hide a few children in their house. Oh hello~~Qinghe Cui's family , the basic education is the most solid. Even if there are a few foolish old men, there must be more talents! Neither the Lu family nor the eldest son will let them go. Hurry up! Send a telegram to the capital and ask Lin Xiang and the others to hold an urgent meeting to discuss how to get rid of them. These people got it." Then he clapped his hands and said, "It's a pity! The world has been divided, otherwise the whole family must be sent to the frontier! We just need to guard the cut off on the road."

Shen Zhimo Liuzhuang has already come to them.Shen Zhimo said: "If the prince wants to cut off the barbarian, it's not difficult, you don't need to alarm Prime Minister Lin."

Jia Cong was overjoyed: "I knew our Zhimo was a little genius!"

Shen Zhimo smiled and said, "Prepare some silver and send someone to handle it."

"Who?"

"Uncle Liu Zhuang of Western England." Shen Zhimo said with a smile, "So Western is a country of barbarians, and his sister can't even find any slaves she likes, so she wants to buy some clever ones from heaven to use them." She turned her head and looked Glancing at Liu Zhuang, I couldn't help laughing, "It will be easier to say a few nice words to Madam Ma."
