The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It's said that the second master Zhang told his father with great enthusiasm that he met a man in Tsing Yi today, and the old master Zhang was furious.Master Zhang Er said seriously: "The son's words are unreasonable? Since he knows who his mother is, he should be in love with each other. How can his relatives become enemies instead? Back then, his quarrel was only about marriage. Now they are young Reconciliation, the son also knows that Xiang Xue has made progress. He is the son of the Zhang family, and he will never let the Zhang family suffer. I have always known that I have two weights, and the Zhang family is still the eldest brother. My father only obeys his words, and he is serious and complete. .”

Regardless of the fact that his son is nearly half a hundred years old, Mrs. Zhang poked his finger: "It's true that you only grow old but not brainy. The concubine Shi Zi helped him come up with such an idea, isn't it just to please him?"

Master Zhang Er said with a smile: "Isn't it great that his wife pleases him?"

Old Master Zhang hummed: "If there is a good thing in the future, the Zhang family also wants it, and the Yu family also wants it, who will he give it to?"

"His surname is Zhang, so he will naturally give it to the Zhang family."

Old Master Zhang glanced at him: "If Mrs. Yu wins his heart, he will definitely think of Mrs. Yu's family more."

Master Zhang Er patted his chest and said, "Dad, don't worry, I'm here! I'm his old man. If it's not good, wouldn't there be Rong Guan? He listened to Rong Guan when he was young, and Rong Guan listened to me. A daughter-in-law can still compare Madam?"

Old Master Zhang glanced at him: "You old man, how can you have prestige in front of your son? Regardless of the son, which of the three sons in your own courtyard listens to you?"

Master Zhang Er was embarrassed: "The son said this time, he listened to me."

Old Mrs. Zhang waved his hand: "He recognized as Webster's mother, how could he still have your sister in his eyes."

Master Zhang Er grinned and said, "Could it be that he has a big sister in his eyes now..." Old Master Zhang was speechless. "After all, we are a family, so why bother making trouble like black-eyed chickens. Why don't we make up now while we're at it."

"Hugh bring this up again."

"father!"

Mrs. Zhang thought for a moment: "It's good if he is willing to make progress. Gai Minger asks Rong Guan to meet him and persuade him to listen to his concubine and uncle."

Master Zhang Er looked at his father for a long time, and hummed: "Even I don't know where you hid him."

Mrs. Zhang shook his head and sighed, "That's all. Let me think about it again." Nai waved him away.Master Zhang Er was full of dissatisfaction, and went to drink to vent his anger.

Mrs. Zhang sat alone in the courtyard and sighed.The grandson is disobedient, and the eldest and second wife are not compatible, he knows it all.In the second room, there is no one who has the ability to find out.If we let Wei Shizi go, the son will be like a grandson who has gone to the golden hoop, and the Zhang family can no longer suppress him.Yu Shi is the daughter of that old fox in Yu Minzhong.Seeing his father knows his daughter, how easy it is to coax the mother and son of Webster's past.The state of Zhao suddenly changed.Zhang's family started to operate conscientiously from the capital, so it could not be said that they made wedding clothes for Yu's family.This matter must not depend on them.Sometimes it is okay to let their mother and son meet and persuade them.What the second child said also makes sense.It's a family anyway, why bother to be like an enemy.

So he made up his mind.Back in the house, Mrs. Zhang ordered someone to call Aunt Sun over.She is an old man next to Mrs. Zhang. She has been very sensible and good at life since she was a housekeeper, and followed her from Beijing to Chu State and then to Zhao State.Mrs. Zhang told Aunt Sun what to say for half a day, and Aunt Sun took orders to leave.

Early the next morning, Aunt Sun asked the housekeeper for a carriage and horse to go out to offer incense.The carriage drove all the way to the Mahayana Temple in the west of the city.Aunt Sun helped her maidservant to enter the mountain gate when she saw the presiding monk leading all the monks to welcome her out.Aunt Sun smiled and said: "Don't be busy, just be like an ordinary pilgrim." The host then sent two monks who knew guests to accompany her to worship from the outside, visiting and enjoying the Buddhist temples, and they had to send some incense money.At noon, Aunt Sun had a fast meal in the temple.Tired at noon, the Zhike monk invited her to a side hall to rest.

Aunt Sun changed into a maid's clothes in the side hall, taking advantage of the fact that there were no monks and pilgrims outside the hall, she led a woman out quietly and came to the abbot's room.There was no one else here, the abbot led the way without saying a word, and led them to a small side entrance of Mahayana Temple.A small mule cart was parked outside the door, two women got into the cart quietly, and the driver whipped away.

The mule cart walked through the streets and alleys for half a day, and stopped at the gate of a small courtyard. The sound of huqin and babbling and singing came from inside.Aunt Sun and her mother-in-law got out of the car and knocked on the door.Not long after, a boy came out to open the door, and Aunt Sun said, "Little brother, I'm looking for your Master Wei." The woman showed him the badge.

The boy nodded and said: "Come with me, Madam, Master Wei probably hasn't gotten up yet." Then he led the two of them in.

This is an opera troupe, and the actors have already started practicing with the master.When he reached the door of a big room in the backyard, the boy shouted: "Master Wei, someone is looking for you."

After a while, a woman seemed to be awake, and said in a daze, "Who is it? No one is allowed to sleep well in the middle of the day."

The kid said: "I don't know, I just said I was looking for you."

The woman said a few times as if she was stretching: "Is it a man or a woman?"

"Two aunts."

"Please come in."

The kid said: "I still have something to do, you go in by yourself." Then he left.

Aunt Sun came in and saw the woman lazily leaning on the pillow, and waved her hands sleepily: "Hello, two aunts."

Aunt Sun couldn't help laughing and said: "Rong Guan, you are at ease."

This woman was Zhao Shizi's mother, Wei Rongguan. He half-opened his eyes and glanced at the two of them, then yawned: "What kind of wind brought Aunt Sun here. Just sit down by yourself."

Aunt Sun saw that the room was clean and there was a bamboo chair, so she pulled it and sat down.The old woman stood behind her.Aunt Sun said seriously: "Guan Rong, the old master sent me to discuss something with you."

Wei Rongguan half-opened his eyes again and said, "It's because my son is promising."

Aunt Sun sighed: "It's more than promising. The wings are hard and I want to fly."

"Oh, then let him fly. He can fly as high as he can, and as far as he wants." Wei Rongguan said, "Don't expect me to help you hold him back."

Aunt Sun looked at her and said, "Rong Guan, you are a smart person."

"That's right, I'm really a smart person." Wei Rongguan closed his eyes, put his hands on the pillow and pressed it to his face, "So I know that my son will probably have the upper hand. Otherwise, how could the old master send the eloquent Aunt Sun to personally Come to see me? You are wearing clothes that are so inferior. You are afraid that my son will be able to find me.” She suddenly opened her eyes and said, “Stop daydreaming about the blue sky! My son is worthless, you are pinching him, he is promising You still want to pinch him. What about playing monkeys? My surname Wei will not help you deal with me anyway. If you have the ability to kill me, let’s see what else you can use to restrain him.” After saying this, he turned over and lay down, lazy Said triumphantly, "I haven't slept enough yet, I'll make up for it later. Please go out and help close the door." She rolled to the side, picked up the pillow with her backhand, and rolled back to cover her face with the pillow.

Aunt Sun never said a word when she was full of words.After a while, he sighed: "You can do it yourself. After all, this country of Zhao is still the Zhang family's world." Stand up and leave.

Hearing that there was no movement outside, Wei Rongguan suddenly flipped a carp upright from the kang, and shouted: "Son! Good job!" Before he could say a word, two lines of tears had already flowed down his face.

After sitting for half a day, Wei Rongguan got up, packed his clothes and hair, and prepared to go out to teach the children how to sing.There were three "dong dong dong" sounds on the window, and someone shouted softly, "Is Master Wei in the room?"

Wei Rongguan raised his eyebrows: "Who?"

There was a smile in the man's words: "Master Wei, if he was willing to listen patiently to Aunt Sun, he would probably be able to guess who I am. Do you want to leave Handan and go to the capital to find your son?"

Wei Rongguan jumped to the window in two steps and pushed it open with a "bang": "What did you say?!"

I saw a young man in Tsing Yi standing outside the window, and took out something from his arms with a smile: "Zhao Shizi said, Master Wei will know that I was invited by him when he sees this."

Wei Rongguan took a deep breath, took a look, it turned out to be a bunch of faded crimson velvet flowers, tears fell down again: "He broke it off my head when he was a child." Nai cried and smiled, looking at Qingyi The man trembled, "Is it really my son?"

The man in Tsing Yi nodded and said: "The Zhang family is really cunning. I spent many days trying to find out Master Wei's whereabouts, so I tried to startle the snake yesterday, luckily it worked."

Wei Rongguan wiped his tears and cupped his fists and said, "Dare to ask what a righteous man is called."

The man in Tsing Yi thought for a while: "I don't know if I can let Master Wei know my first and last name, you just call me 'righteous man'."

Wei Rongguan saluted the man in Tsing Yi through the window: "Thank you, righteous man, for your help."

The man in Tsing Yi returned the gift.Nai Zhengse said: "It's not easy to escape since ancient times. The Zhang family is very powerful in Handan, and there must be many ways to keep an eye on Master Wei. What I mean is, Master Wei, just follow me, don't be with the troupe. Say some vague farewell words. You left without a trace, and the Zhang family will not hurt them because they are afraid that there will be clues. Don’t pack any luggage, and keep important things close to your body. You don’t need to bring any money, the son has money. "

Wei Rongguan thought for a while: "Alright."

Then he returned to the house.First, I hid a few things in my bosom, but I couldn't hide them anymore.However, she still had things she wanted to bring, and she dug them out and put them on the kang to worry about, and she was reluctant to leave any of them.The man in Tsing Yi said helplessly: "Then make a burden."

Wei Rongguan's eyes lit up: "Really? Will it be inconvenient?"

The corner of the man in Tsing Yi's mouth twitched slightly: "No..."

Like lightning, Wei Rongguan pulled out a big green leather bag, and packed all the things on the Kang into it.He picked it up and weighed it, and said with a flattering smile, "It's a bit heavy..."

The man in Tsing Yi laughed instead.Turning around and taking a look, Wei Rongguan was about to put on makeup just now, and there was an eyebrow pencil on the desk, so he took it and dipped it in black ink to draw a bamboo hat on the wall, with a strange feather stuck on it.And mention the words: Robin Hood the Grand Thefte is here for a visit.Nai picked up the burden and said, "Don't make a sound, come with me." Wei Rongguan nodded repeatedly.

The two left the yard.Wei Rongguan held his breath and did not dare to breathe, carefully following behind the man in Tsing Yi.Suddenly there were footsteps ahead, Wei Rongguan covered his face in fright.But hearing a "plop", Wei Rongguan opened his eyes and saw an actor fell to the ground.Tsing Yi said: "No problem, he will wake up after a while." Bending down to pick up the locust stone.

Wei Rongguan stretched out his thumb: "The righteous man is very skilled!"

On the other side, Yu Shi, the son of Zhao, arrived in the capital, and quarreled with the son of Zhao that day.There were people arranged by Jia Cong in the posthouse, who rushed to the Zhengshitang to report.It was Jia Cong who called Yu, and he had to go over to try to persuade him to fight.By the time he passed by, the two had finished arguing.One was singing in the yard with a smoky voice, and the other was weeping silently in the house.

Jia Cong saw that Mrs. Yu described her as graceful and elegant, and she was also a beauty, so she stepped forward and cupped her hands and said, "This lady must be Mrs. Yu Minzhong's daughter."

Mrs. Yu was crying when she suddenly noticed a man standing in front of her, and she was shocked: "Who are you! How dare you trespass on the courtyard of Prince Zhao."

"Eh..." Jia Cong thought for a while, then turned his head and shouted, "Hey, stop singing, it's too bad to hear the noise pollution. Hurry up and introduce me to your wife." The singing outside the room paused for a moment, and then Then he sang.Jia Cong said helplessly, "Madam Yu, your husband is still in the rebellious stage, you have worked hard."

Yu looked at Jia Cong for a moment, then suddenly remembered the photo of Yan Regent in the newspaper, and hurriedly bent over Wanfu: "Meet the Regent."

"Don't don't." Jia Cong said, "I have a little friendship with that person outside, don't be so polite." He had to return the courtesy.The two exchanged a few words of courtesy.Jia Congnai sat down and said, "Mrs. Yu, there is something I think I need to tell you the truth. It was said in the newspaper that the son of Zhao Guo studied hard and made progress every day. That was a false advertisement, and it was a cover that Kong Yunxian and I helped him with. This fellow If you don’t like reading, you probably won’t like reading in your life.”

Yu Shi was startled for a moment, not hiding his disappointment, and murmured: "So that's how it is."

Jia Cong said: "As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. In this life, he has neither passion nor...well, the pressure of survival. Anyway, he will not be short of money. His wish is to idle around for a lifetime. In this way Do you still want the man? If not, remarry early when you are young; if you do, you have to accept that he has no ambition. Don’t persuade him to study and make progress.”

Yu Shi was stunned and was speechless for a while.

Jia Cong went on to say: "One more thing. He is not the son of Princess Zhang of Zhao Wang. His biological mother is an actress, and she seems to have a free and easy temper. Personally, I don't think he will treat his daughter-in-law harshly. This aunt never expects her son Promising, I am very happy that he lives freely. We will pick her up in a few days, and the mother and daughter will probably be slack together. You will not have any pressure in life when you are with them, and you don’t need to get up early to give mother-in-law Please be safe and be careful to deal with the nuns and eunuchs. This is a good thing. Think about what kind of life you want to live. The people of Yan are different from Zhao Guo and your hometown Wu Guo. Madam Yu may as well go around Go and have a look, maybe God has opened another window for you?"

Yu Shi stared at Jia Cong and said, "The Prince Regent is happy that the son of Zhao is not going out."

Jia Cong said: "It's a little bit. I have always admired that people have their own aspirations, and I don't agree with blindly forcing young people to follow the same path. You must know that some people are born with liberal arts brains, some with science heads, and some with art heads. People are born with sports brains. Some people are born rich and don’t worry about food, so why bother to make progress?” He pointed outside, “The man in the yard said he wanted to take his mother to travel around the world. If Madam Yu is interested, go with her and write Travel notes are also good for future generations. You have a lot of talent and learning, wouldn't it be cheaper to write your own than to point him to learn from the beginning "Shang Daren Kong Yiji"?"
