The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that Jia Cong held a female banquet in Rongguo Mansion, and the guests found that there was a Master Liu from Zhao Guolai who looked similar to Jia Baoyu.Jia Cong took a look and found that Master Liu was Jia Xu, their fifth uncle.The uncles and nephews look like there is nothing to make a fuss about... Jia Cong pretended to be shocked for a moment, walked over with great interest, and cupped his hands at his fifth uncle, "May I ask who this is?"

Zhao Guoguo's special envoy hurriedly introduced: "This is Mr. Liu An, the envoy of our country."

Jia Xu made a bow and said, "Congratulations to the prince for his daughter."

Jia Cong returned the salute: "Congratulations, congratulations!" He also congratulated Master Jia Wu on his grandniece. "Master Liu and my elder brother Baoyu really look alike." They are indeed the heirs of the same Y chromosome.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "I've heard that people have similarities, but I don't want it to fall on Liu himself. It's really interesting."

Jia Baoyu also laughed and said, "Where is Master Liu's ancestry? I don't know if our two families are related."

Jia Cong immediately understood that Jia Xu had visited the second master Bao in advance, but he didn't tell himself, and took a sneak peek at Jia Xu while he was unprepared.Jia Xu just didn't see it. "I am from Jinling."

Jia Baoyu said in amazement: "Oh, my family's ancestral home is also Jinling. It's a coincidence, a coincidence!" The two of them spent a long time talking about the coincidences, while Special Envoy Guo and Liu Xiaoqi were laughing at each other.Jia Cong couldn't help but rolled his eyes: Coincidentally, you are tall!Wouldn't the conscience of the two of you who share the same ancestral grave hurt?

After the coincidence, those four people seemed to be accomplices.Special Envoy Guo asked again to help Zhao Guo control the water, and Jia Baoyu repeatedly agreed.Jia Cong and Zhan Kun looked at each other in blank dismay - obviously Zhan Kun was also kept in the dark.Jia Cong wanted to remind Jia Baoyu that he had no official position but was just the editor-in-chief of a newspaper and could not be the head of Yan State, but Jia Xu gave him a look with a half-smile and was so frightened that he dared not speak.The matter was settled so vaguely.

After the banquet was over and the guests were sent out, Jia Cong looked at Jia Baoyu with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Baoyu must not be busy, how about going to see my little niece later?"

Before Jia Baoyu could answer, a woman came over in a hurry: "Second Lord, Second Mistress is not at ease, I want you to go back quickly."

Jia Baoyu hurriedly said: "It's too late now, your second sister-in-law is still pregnant, I have to go back first."

Jia Cong bared his teeth: "Okay, the pregnant woman is the biggest in the world. Second brother, there is no end to it. If you can run away, the monk can't run away from the temple."

Jia Baoyu crossed his hands and said, "Why do you bother to talk to me?" The woman urged again, and Jia Baoyu turned around and slipped away without touching the ground.

What else could Jia Cong do with him?I had no choice but to return to Lixiangyuan with a full stomach.He entered the room and shouted: "My daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, I'm back~~"

"Hush..." Miao Miao stared at him, "My sister is asleep!"

Jia Cong hurriedly also "hush".Chen Ruijin ordered the two nurses to escape temporarily, and said to Jia Cong, "Uncle Wu just came."

"Where are the others?" Jia Cong looked around but saw no one.

"It's already gone." Chen Ruijin said, "I told you to help Zhao Guo control the water."

Jia Cong frowned: "He didn't say why?"

"No."

Jia Cong touched his nose: "He is so busy, it is impossible to stay in Zhao Guo."

Chen Ruijin said: "Uncle Wu always has a reason for doing things. Since he asked you to control the water, you can do it."

"Then he has to explain it to me! Jia Baoyu and Liu Xiaoqi both know, so why not hide it from me?" Jia Cong then told what happened at the banquet just now, and Chen Ruijin laughed straight away.Jia Cong said lazily, "Cheng'er only watched the flood control once, what can she do."

Chen Ruijin said: "Obviously there are other people who can control the water, Cheng'er is just a cover."

Jia Cong looked at her for a long time: "Daughter-in-law, do you know something?"

Chen Ruijin shook his head: "I just gave birth to a child, Uncle Wu will not discuss important matters with me. But I know, he always thinks farther than you, and he never gets confused."

It makes sense for Jia Cong to think about it. "That's all. Since he helps me think, I'll be lazy." Chen Ruijin smiled.

So he really transferred Su Cheng from the Taiwan government back to the capital, and ordered people to prepare to help Zhao Guo control the water. "Yanjing Weekly" rarely reports on this matter.It's just that the photos of their editor-in-chief and Mr. Zhao Guoliu were not accompanied, nor were they placed on a conspicuous page.The first two editions were all given to Yan Shenggong to give lectures at Yenching University.

Su Cheng came very quickly.She arrived in the capital on the third day after the transfer order was issued, and came to Zhengshitang to report with a smile on her face.Catch up with Jia Cong, Zhan Kun and others who are having a meeting, and seeing her refreshed and clean, they all look at her with smiles: "Could it be that you came here on the Hot Wheels?"

"Uncle Cong never taught me Hot Wheels." Su Cheng said solemnly, "He came here on a horse."

"Oh. I'm riding a Maxima."

Su Cheng blinked: "Yes! The horse's name is Qianli."

"That's enough, that's enough." Jia Cong leaned back in his chair, "I don't care what you are doing. Can you handle such a big matter as flood control?"

Su Cheng said bluntly: "Of course I can't do it! Anyway, there are people who can do it."

"Who? Why didn't I know we had such a number one person."

"It's not ours right now." Su Cheng said, "After the water is cured, it will probably be ours." She glanced at Jia Cong, "Third Uncle Cong, you don't play the trick of avoiding taboos."

Jia Cong snorted, "I'm not afraid of ghosts and gods in ancient and modern China and abroad, so there's nothing to avoid!"

"It's not the taboo, it's the name." Su Cheng said, "This gentleman's surname is Chen."

Jia Cong hit a knot in his head: "Could it be that my daughter-in-law's surname is Chen and I can't allow others to be surnamed Chen..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the elder Wu Tianyou had already raised his voice: "Master Chen Cong!"

Su Cheng immediately said: "That's right! It's Master Chen Cong."

Wu Tianyou happily said: "Where is this person now?"

"In Zhao Country." Su Cheng said, "I became a small official on the river, and Lord Liu Quan recognized him quietly."

Jia Cong asked, "Master Wu, who is Chen Cong?"

Before Wu Tianyou could answer, Feng Ziying said first, "But Six Fingers Chen Cong?"

Just as Wu Tianyou nodded, Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, can you take care of Muggles' feelings!"

Zhan Kun immediately reconsidered.Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "This time I'm a Muggle too."

It turned out that Mr. Chen was a master of river management. Because his left hand was born with six fingers, he was called Six Fingers Chen Cong. He had tidied up several waterlogged rivers.King Situ Pan of Yan appointed it as the platform of the Yongding River, and the Yongding River never broke its embankment again.Even so, he was still plotted against.When the third son of Situ Pan's family gained power, one of Chen Cong's subordinates used the excuse that Situ Yue, the late son, had praised Chen Cong face to face, and framed him as the direct descendant of the late son.The third child actually accepted Hu Limeng's letter and arrested Chen Cong for questioning.After searching for half a day, nothing was found, and he was too embarrassed to admit his mistake, so he made up an unfounded charge to bring him down from office.Feng Ziying knew that this person was useful, but he himself was still in prison at that time.Afterwards, I went to find Chen Cong again, but his whereabouts were gone.

Jia Cong sighed: "Even if the pig leader has been in power for a very short time, he may cause irreparable damage to the whole."

Wu Tianyou said: "If Master Jia Wu is helping Zhao to control the floods in order to subdue this person, it would be worth it."

Before others could speak, Zhan Kun first smiled and said, "Master Jia Wu would not do such a cheap thing! Chen Cong is a technical person, and it is very easy to subdue him."

Su Cheng said: "Master Jia Wu and Mr. Chen Cong discussed a list that they want, you have a look." He took out the list from his pocket and handed it to Zhan Kun.

Zhan Kun looked from the first column to the end, his eyelids twitched, and he handed it to Lin Daiyu without saying a word.After reading it, Lin Daiyu handed it to Wu Tianyou without saying a word.Wu Tianyou laughed after seeing it, and ordered someone to pass it to Jia Cong.After reading it, Jia Cong said: "People don't need to read it anymore, it's just something. Send the six Shangshu first, and after they read it, Cheng'er will arrange it."

Su Cheng wondered, "Why send the six books?"

"Get them ready."

Su Cheng didn't understand: "Huh?"

Zhan Kun sighed: "According to this list, it is not helping Zhao Fangfang in this year's flood season, but it is clearly laying the foundation for curing that section of the Yellow River. No one spends so much money and effort to help others cure floods, unless it is working for themselves. Master Jia Wu is going to merge Zhao State into the territory of Yan State." Then he waved her away to tell her what to do.

Su Cheng ran away.Everyone in the meeting hall remained calm as usual, and the meeting continued.

It is naturally beneficial to read the list of six books.No matter the important people or the things, Su Cheng handles affairs as smoothly as Zoumaru Sakagami.It didn't take long for her to lead five thousand strong men and set off for Zhao State with luggage.

These 5000 people are just the first batch.About every twenty or so people ride in a large uncovered rubber-tyred carriage, pulled by eight horses.Wearing yellow-brown-gray camouflage uniforms, each of them has a cloth card with a brown background and a black frame on the back, with two large white characters on it: Zhihe.The people of Zhao State couldn't help but marvel: Yan State's river-ruling men are so strong and powerful?Stronger than the officers and soldiers of our country.These carriages run very fast, and the strong men often sing in unison, "Sunset, Xishan, Hongxiafei" or something.

When he arrived in Handan in a few days, Zhao Wang personally led several civil and military officials out of the city to meet him.Looking at Su Cheng from a distance, he was shocked: It's a female official!Jia Xu hurriedly said: "My lords, my lords, this little Lord Su is the daughter of Su Tao, the magistrate of Jiangxi, and the granddaughter of Su Zheng, a scholar of the Imperial Academy. It is equivalent to the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Yan Guo is good at using female officials. If she doesn't have real skills, she can't control so many people."

An official immediately asked, "But the owner of Suzi's chocolate shop?"

"That's right." Jia Xu said with a smile, "Don't think she is a woman, she is much richer than us."

Zhao Wang squinted his eyes and said in a low voice: "Gu Wang remembers where he heard it, this Miss Su seems to have never been betrothed to anyone."

Jia Xu also said in a low voice: "I made a marriage in the early years, and I didn't want a man to let the Princess of Yan Wang's family fall in love with him..." King Zhao nodded.

A general suddenly pointed out: "How come there are still a few people in military uniforms?"

Jia Xudao: "Earlier, Mr. Su had a document. In the process of harnessing the river, we often encountered very narrow places. Now that the flood season is approaching, we have no time to dig slowly. We have to use artillery to widen the river. So we borrowed four old ones from the army that have been out of use. Cannons. Ordinary civilians don’t know how to use cannons, so I borrowed some artillery.”

The general frowned and said, "Are these people really just peasants? Look at their vigor, they look like officers and soldiers."

Jia Xu said with a smile: "The lowest pay for officers and soldiers in Yan State is five taels of silver per month. How much would it cost to build a river with officers and soldiers? Are they willing to do so? If General Guan has any doubts, just send someone to investigate." The general didn't answer, he just stared at Yan Guomin's husbands approaching.

Su Cheng and his assistant jumped off their horses and approached Zhao Wang's canopy.Jia Xu had already greeted him.The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries, and Su Cheng bowed to King Zhao: "I have seen you, my lord."

An eunuch next to Zhao Wang said: "Why don't you kneel when you see the prince."

Su Cheng said: "The State of Yan has canceled the ceremony of kneeling and worshiping, and the officials will not kneel when they see the King of Yan, please forgive me."

Jia Xu hurriedly said: "That's true. Looking at the photos in Yanjing Weekly News, Duke Yansheng never bowed down when he met the King of Yan and the sage in the capital."

King Zhao frowned, and said with force: "That's all. I hope Master Su will build dams for the sake of the common people."

Su Cheng said: "The time is too short, there may not be enough time to repair the embankment. If necessary, the people must be evacuated to discharge the flood."

King Zhao was shocked: "What?!"

Jia Xu hurriedly asked: "I heard that Mr. Su was in Jiangxi to control the floods, is that the same?"

"Yes." Su Cheng pretended, "All the population has been evacuated. As long as ordinary people are alive, they can rebuild their homes in the future. However, the lower officials have not gone to the scene to investigate carefully, so it may not be necessary. Flood control is like a war. Before you count the victory, you count the defeat."

King Zhao nodded: "Let's leave it to Mr. Su."

Su Cheng clasped his fists and said loudly: "Your official will do everything possible to prevent the common people from suffering." Jia Xu hurriedly went up to say something, and everyone went into the city together.

King Zhao hosted a banquet in honor of Su Cheng, accompanied by all Zhao officials.Someone looked at Su Cheng's assistants a few times, raised eyebrows and eyes in a docile manner, and quietly inquired about her marriage.The assistant waved his hand and said, "We don't inquire about the boss's personal affairs, and we usually just deal with errands."

The man giggled and said, "Brother, how do you get along with the female boss?"

The assistant said casually: "It's the same as the male boss, you get paid for doing errands."

"Has someone asked your boss to marry him?"

"There are many men who admire our Lord Su, and I haven't heard of them chasing them." The assistant said seriously, "Master Su is a very important official of Yan State, so you Zhao State don't have to worry about it, the regent will not allow her to marry her." From another country."

The man whispered: "She is so old..."

The assistant said: "If she wants, she can choose any prince's son to join Su's family at will, do you believe it?"

After drinking for three rounds, a eunuch came in from outside with a troubled expression on his face.Zhao Wang looked at him. "Why are you the only one here?"

The eunuch bowed and said, "Go back to your lord, my son... um... my son's body is not very comfortable, he is lying on the bed, unable to move."

Zhao Wang hummed: "Since this is the case, you can rest easy, and don't fool around with concubine Ji." The eunuch bowed his head and dared not speak.King Zhao snorted again, and waved his hand to make him retreat.

After less than a stick of incense, a person rushed in from outside and shouted: "My lord—it's not good—"

Drink from left to right: "Bold! Who doesn't know the rules!"

I saw that the man was dressed as a slave, his hair was loose, and one of his shoes was missing, and he cried, "Your Majesty was injured!"

Zhao Wang stood up to help the case: "What's going on! Who injured my son!"

"He has already run away, and even snatched Miss Hongyan away." The servant said, "I beg the prince to make the decision for the son."

Zhao Wang was stunned for a moment, then slowly looked at the eunuch just now, and said with a sneer, "You just said that the son is sick in bed?" The eunuch was so frightened that he fell to his knees.

Some idiot below said in a daze, "It's Miss Hongyan from Huachunfang, isn't it?"
