The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 143

But he said that Jia Cong repeated his old tricks, implying that if Yuan Chun gained some unusual reputation, he might be able to enter a high-ranking family, and Jia Zheng was really hooked again.So I went to tell Jia Mu in person.

Jia's mother was worried about these things before Yuanchun. Even if she entered the Xianwang's mansion, it would be rare to have a good position. She thought it was Jia Cong's excuse to fight for Yuanchun's status. It's virtue. Even if she enters the palace, she can't be the main concubine, how can the side concubine use these skills?"

Jia Zheng made sense after hearing it, so he only said half a sentence: "It's really true, I think Cong'er doesn't know..." Something exploded in his mind, and he trembled, "Old lady... Cong'er Although he is young, he is thoughtful and insightful, he is not an ordinary child, how can he not know this?"

Mother Jia was taken aback, and raised her eyes to look at Jia Zheng. The mother and son looked at each other, and they couldn't help but think of the same thing: Could it be? !

Jia Zheng ran out, shouting, "Go and invite Cong'er!" A boy answered and walked a few steps, and then shouted, "Come back!" The boy hurried back.Jia Zhengsui wandered around Jiamu's yard with his arms behind his back, and ordered, "Call Huan'er, come quickly."

Not long after, Jia Huan ran over, wiped his sweat and asked the old man why he called him.

Jia Zheng didn't bother to scold him for his lack of manners, so he grabbed his hand and asked, "Do you know that Cong'er intends to find a marriage for your elder sister?"

Jia Huan blinked: "I've never heard of this. Cong'er is a ghost, and things that are not completely sure never reveal the slightest word."

Jia Zheng suddenly felt disappointed, and still did not give up and asked again: "Did you really say that? Not at all?"

Jia Huan shook his head: "He only said that our sister must be a big wife..."

Before the words were finished, Jia's mother and Jia Zheng exclaimed in unison, their faces full of surprise and disbelief.Jia Huan looked at the two of them puzzled.

Jia Zheng trembled with excitement for a long time, took a few deep breaths to calm down, and looked at Jia Mu for a few times.After a while, he suddenly frowned again and said: "If Yuan'er goes to rectify the family education, I'm afraid some people in the clan will not agree."

Jia Huan frowned and said, "Brother Zhen won't?"

Jia Zheng said: "How can he care about these things. I'm afraid some of the current family students are unwilling."

Jia Huan wrinkled his nose, and muttered, "How old are they? It doesn't matter if they talk about it. If they talk too much, let uncle beat them up and see who dares to be troublesome."

Jia Zheng scolded, "Nonsense!"

Jia Huan made a face.

Jia Mu nodded and said, "It's actually cheaper to talk about it with the boss."

Jia Huan burst out laughing, and complimented sincerely: "What the ancestor said is true! The ancestor is still wise."

Sure enough, Mother Jia sent Yuanyang to tell Jia Amnesty the matter;

Jia She scolded: "As long as anything that offends others is pushed to me!"

Jia Huan said with a smile: "Uncle, it's all up to you! Let me go and stare at others. He is thin-skinned, and he can't do things seriously."

Jia She glared at him and said, "Am I thick-skinned?"

Jia Huan smiled flatteringly and said: "Cong'er often says that she is thick-skinned, which is a big compliment, and my skin is getting thicker and thicker."

Jia Amnesty raised his hand and knocked him.

Jia Amnesty was not a cheap lamp, so he sent an eloquent boy to Ningguo Mansion to find Jia Zhen, and told how Jia Zheng was so angry at his family school, and kept saying that Jia Zheng wanted to rectify the family school.

At this moment, the Ningguo Mansion is still busy with Jia Zhen's funeral, Zhao Cheng comes over every now and then to investigate, and the Niu's family members also come to cry and inquire all day long, Jia Rong is still lying on the kang, unable to help , Jia Zhen was going crazy.Hearing that something went wrong in the family school again, he just waved his hand and said: "Whoever cares, whoever cares! Anyway, I don't have time!"

The boy said with a sad face: "Uncle Zhen, our elders say that you are the head of the clan. Naturally, you should preside over such matters, or you can discuss together and choose someone to preside over it. It's not convenient for us two masters to make decisions by ourselves. "

Jia Zhen hurriedly said: "It's very appropriate for the two uncles to make decisions. Since this is the case, I will entrust the two uncles."

The kid then ran back, and then ran over again and said: "Our master said, is this good? They will go to pick some people first, and then ask Master Zhen what he means."

Coincidentally, Zhao Cheng came again at this moment, Jia Zhen waved her hand and said, "No need to ask, where do I have two educated uncles? They can just appoint someone."

The kid ran back and forth again, and when he came back, Zhao Cheng and Niu Jiyao's elder brother Niu Jizong were both there, so he replied in front of the two of them: "Our master said it's still not going to work, Master Zhen has to discuss it together. What if the uncle Renzhen they choose disagrees?"

Jia Zhen even said: "Agreed! The two uncles choose people and my nephew agrees first!" Then she explained to Zhao and Niu, "Our two uncles in the West Mansion want to pick someone from the clan to rectify the family education. Where is the time to take care of that? Besides, the two uncles have always been very considerate and far-sighted. But it's up to them to decide."

Both Zhao Niu and Zhao Niu nodded in agreement.

The boy climbed along the pole: "Uncle Zhen and the two adults, the younger one ran back and forth many times, you should take pity on the poor little one. The two adults were invited to testify about this matter, and the younger one went back and forth many times. How about entrusting the two masters of our family to be the masters?"

Both Zhao and Niu also disliked his ink smears all the time, and said: "Yes, yes, we testify, this child is so pitiful, he is sweating from running, let's go."

The boy hurriedly knocked his head three times and ran away.

Having said that, what are others?Jia Amnesty sent two people to inform Jia Dairu and others, and then sent a letter to Yuanchun.

This incident resounded like thunder in the Jia clan.People with children studying in the family school already knew about Jia Zheng's anger a few days ago, and they thought they would invite some great Confucian to come, but who would have invited a nun!So what if she is the eldest girl of Rongguo Mansion?Wasn't he sent home by Nan'an Palace?Everyone refused.

When this happened to Jia Zhen's ears, she was also taken aback, and rushed to Rongguo Mansion regardless of the chaos at home.He wholeheartedly thought that Jia Zheng did this, but thinking of Jia Zheng's Daoist appearance gave him a headache, so he came to seek Jia's amnesty instead.

Jia Amnesty only threw him a sentence: "Didn't you ask Mr. Zhao and Mr. Niu to testify together? You don't care about this matter, but let us make the decisions?"

Jia Zhen said anxiously: "Then let the big sister take care of it! She is a woman!"

Jia She said: "What woman! She has become a monk, and now she is neither male nor female."

Jia Zhen choked, and then said: "How could the old ancestor agree."

"This is what she ordered us to do."

Jia Zhen was stunned.

Jia Amnesty waved his hand: "That's it, I'm busy."

Jia Zhen was in a hurry: "How can the people in the clan agree!"

Jia She said with a snort, "Who are they? If you are capable, don't come to study at home."

Jia Zhen had no choice but to go to Jia Zheng's office to look for him again.This time it was even more of a headache, Jia Zhengzi said some poems, his ears went numb and he didn't understand what Jia Zheng was trying to say, so he just let them go and make trouble!

A few days later, Jia Yuanchun arrived at Jia's family school in a small carriage, dressed in Zizi clothes, followed by two little maids and four stout women.

Jia Dairu pretended to be sick at home because he was sullen, and only Jia Rui was the host here.Many students from the family school did not come, the few who came prepared some tricky troubles to find this nun for fun, most of them came because they wanted to see what the big girls in Rongguo Mansion looked like, all of them stretched their necks, etc. with.The moment Yuan Chun entered, the whole school fell silent, from Jia Rui to all the students gasped in unison.

This woman is in her 20s, with no makeup, a Ziyi dress, and a cultivation practice with hair. She looks more and more graceful, her teeth are white and her lips are red, her black hair is like ink, and her expression is dignified and solemn. The whole person is like a jade sculpture. Engraved statue of Bodhisattva.

Yuan Chun didn't expect that the many methods she had prepared were of no use at all, and she had subdued a room full of schoolchildren just by showing her face.

She then sent someone back to Rongguo Mansion to ask Jia Huan to find two talented gentlemen for her. Jia Huan turned around and asked Gong Sanyi about the matter.Gong San has also been inquiring about Yuanchun, so he found two real scholars, both in their early thirties, and both of them looked good; one of them, Mr. Wei, had never married because of his poor family, and the other, Mr. Huang. Widowed for several years, his only son died young.I was annoyed that Jia Lian went out to invite the two of them to teach in Jia's religious studies. Naturally, Shu Xiu was higher than other families.When the two heard that "there is really no other way, I am bothering the elder girl who has become a monk to take care of her family for a while", they both shook their heads to persuade them, secretly planning to send the old nun back to the nunnery after they have sorted out the school affairs; Knowing that Yuan Chunju was insane at the first sight, he never mentioned a word again.

Yuanchun set the time to go to school every day, and said: "The prince in the palace starts studying at Maoshi." He also ordered the school to prepare tea and snacks, and students were not allowed to bring snacks from home, lest they compare with each other.Gold, jade and rich accessories are not allowed to enter the hall.Jia Cong came up with another idea for her: to give scholarships to schools where she studied very well, and to be evaluated once every six months;As for those who study outside, if you don't study hard and just hang out, you don't need to come.Yuan Chun herself often answered the students' questions, and she could explain everything clearly, so when she came, the students would surround her.At first, the two gentlemen only thought she was just a beautiful nun, but after hearing a few words, they realized that this female senior was not inferior to them, and they respected her more and more.

Jia's style of Zongxue suddenly changed.Yuan Chun once mocked himself to the mirror: This face is useless in the palace and in the palace, but it came in handy in the school.

Jia Dairu waited wholeheartedly at home for the crowd to beg him to go home and learn to take charge of the affairs. After waiting for more than a month, no one paid any attention to him. Really sick.

On the other side, Zhao Cheng tried all the servants and Taoist priests who performed rituals in Ningguo Mansion, but there were no clues, which was very annoying.But on this day, he occasionally heard someone chatting in Ningguo Mansion about the "Avengers Alliance", and suddenly he became sober as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, and he chased the servant and asked, "What Avengers Alliance?"

Then he said humanely: "I heard that they are a group of green forest heroes who specialize in avenging others - our uncle Rong followed their way."

Zhao Cheng suddenly remembered that when Jia Rong was beaten up by a group of people wearing Journey to the West masks, he came to report the crime. The people who beat him called themselves "Kyoto Avengers", and they said nothing except Tian's surname. Dare to beat.Is this "Reunion" not the name of a person, but a simplification of "Avengers"?Immediately, as if he had opened his eyes, he went to see Jia Rong.

As soon as Jia Rong heard that the person who killed Niu Jiyao was the one who beat her, she didn't care if the injury was still recovering, so she recounted the events of that day in detail.It's just that he really doesn't know how much, saying it is the same as not saying it.Zhao Cheng troubled him again to think about what kind of cuckold he had ever given someone. Jia Rong smiled bitterly and said: "Master Zhao, my younger brother Su Aimian flowers and willows. I was originally an expert in the romantic scene, so I don't remember many of them." After thinking about it for a long time, he listed many women he had frequented in recent months.Zhao Cheng took the list and ordered his subordinates to check it one by one.Because most of them are pink-headed prostitutes, I really can't find anything.

There was really no way out, so he went to ask Niu Jizong again: "Master Niu, think about it carefully, does your brother really have no enemies?"

Niu Jizong smiled wryly and said: "My brother is just a dude, how can he have no enemies? It's just that everything has been wiped out."

Zhao Chengdao: "Why don't we list them in detail, let's look them up again?"

Niu Jizong had a serious headache for this younger brother, and he rarely asked him, and he didn't know who he had offended, so he had to order a few confidants around him to think about it.

Zhao Cheng took the list and saw Jiang Zirong at a glance.He had heard this name from Jia Rong a few days ago because it was the dandy who was with Jia Rong when he was beaten that day.Knowing that this is also a disciple of a high school, he kept quiet, so he ordered Niu Jiyao's confidants to explain their grievances from the beginning one by one.When I heard "The elder brother of the young master of the Jiang family is not forgiving, it was our family and their parents who worked hard to suppress it", I had already guessed more than half of it in my heart.When he returned to the yamen, he immediately ordered someone to investigate carefully, and soon found out that something was wrong with Jiang Zirong.

Niu Jiyao had a feud with him for killing his younger brother. He once inquired about the "Kyoto Avengers Alliance" in the market, but then suddenly stopped inquiring about it-if he didn't keep it, he got the letter.A while ago, he sold off the antique business again. After Niu Jiyao's death, he immediately changed to his previous dandy appearance, and the prodigal son turned around!Is there anyone more suspicious than him?The line of buying murder and murder is clear.

It's just that he has another headache.He can't afford to offend the Zhen Guo Mansion, but where can the Ping Yuan Hou Mansion do it?Even though these two families have their own advantages and disadvantages, whoever wants to crush a mere sixth-rank official is just a matter of one finger.Furthermore, he has no evidence, so how can he interrogate Jiang Zirong and other senior disciples for no reason?Can't help but be full of resentment.

But at this moment, someone came to report that a young maid came to Ningguo Mansion and asked to see Mr. Zhao alone by name.Although Zhao Cheng was puzzled in every possible way, he hurriedly invited the maid to come in.

This little girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old, with peaceful eyes, kowtowed to him steadily, and said: "Master, please forgive this servant for being impolite. This servant has been ordered by the master. If you have something to say, you can only speak to the adult."

Seeing that she was extremely calm, Zhao Cheng couldn't help secretly praising her: a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, although the Ningguo Mansion is very miserable, it still has a foundation after all, this little girl is quite grand.Busy everyone to withdraw.

The little girl said: "I'm with Grandma Xiaorong in Ningguo Mansion. My master sent me to tell you something."

Zhao Cheng asked what was the matter.

"She suspected that the person who beat our uncle a few days ago was from the West Mansion."

Zhao Cheng was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly felt dark clouds covering the top!Zhenguo Mansion, Ningguo Mansion, and Pingyuanhou Mansion are enough of a headache, so why not add Rongguo Mansion?After worrying for a while, he asked weakly: "Why is your grandma suspicious of their house?"

The little girl said: "A few days ago, the old lady in the West Mansion intended to take in an aunt from a good family for the second master of their family. Because our uncle had a grudge with the young masters in their mansion, he ordered our grandma to report to their old man. My wife recommended two little aunts brought by my wife's natal stepmother from her ex-husband in our house. Those two little aunts are not very clean like the two masters in our house."

At first, Zhao Cheng heard that her grandparents had a lot of headaches, but when he suddenly heard that "they are not very clean", he couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"At first, when the two little aunts went to see the old lady, she was very happy. Unexpectedly, only two days later, when our grandma sent someone to secretly go to their house to inquire, we heard that the old lady had lost her temper that night. , don’t allow those two little aunts to enter the mansion again. There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and the affairs of the two little aunts are not serious. Now everyone in Beijing knows the gossip. The next sentence, let our uncle keep the cuckold for himself. Our grandma suspected that Dongfu knew about it, and she couldn't get angry, so she found someone to beat our uncle. The third master Cong and the third master Huan of the Dongfu are not willing Suffering temper."

Not long ago, Zhao Cheng met the three elder brothers of the Jia family at the back door of the Nan'an Palace, don't you know?There is no second family who dares to blatantly go to the palace to rob people.Their family also has a bodyguard agency, and the business is mediocre and they keep a group of bodyguards.Could it be that they did it?

It's just that he still has no proof.Moreover, if the two young masters were so angry that they just beat Jia Rong up and said it, but how could they get involved with some green forest people?On the day Niu Jiyao died, Jia Cong's little ancestor was in Ningguo Mansion.

Zhao Cheng sent the little girl away, walked around in the hall for a long time, and finally called someone to pull the horse, and went straight to Ningrong Street in ordinary clothes without wearing official uniform.Seeing the Rongguo Mansion from a distance, he suddenly took Ma Lai to think about the meeting, and inquired: "I heard that there is a gate directly from the courtyard of the Third Lord Cong in the Rongguo Mansion to the street, where is it?"
