The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 199

Jia Cong sent the imperial doctor to Gao Mansion, because they were going to stay there until Yingchun gave birth, so the Gao family simply cleaned up a small yard near Gaomang's yard and resettled them there.Gao Li led Jia Cong to play in the barracks again.

Different from last time, now Jia Cong has his own army, he has changed from watching the excitement to watching the doorway, and he keeps asking Gao Li for advice along the way.Hearing his question, Gao Li knew that this kid must have his own troops in the south, so he couldn't help but sigh: "You young people will soon rule the world."

Jia Cong didn't hide it, but enviously said: "No matter how smart you are, it's useless. Old pawns have to rely on fighting to train. Now that there is no fighting, it is difficult to practice bloody experience. Besides, there are too few people, and they train soldiers on weekdays." Don’t dare to be too violent, for fear of injury.”

Gao Li said: "Nonsense! Depending on the number of others, how can you not be fierce in training? What's the use of not being fierce? Aren't you still fighting with some small country in the south? Even if you don't pay the army, you can help the Prince of Nan'an for a while It's time for training."

Jia Cong laughed and said, "It's time to tell people. Huo Sheng didn't dare to return to Beijing because he was afraid of chaos in the court, so he just stayed in the south. The battle has long been over."

Gao Li said "Oh": "What did I say, even though he is young, those people under his grandfather are not vegetarians, how can they not win after fighting for so long." He said again, "If you want to train soldiers, you don't have to wait Let others call you. You can also go and call others."

Jia Cong's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "That's right! Why didn't I think of that! The Dongying Kingdom is not far from us. Since the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates have been a problem, and there are still a lot of them now. Beat them!"

Gao Li said: "How many people do you have?"

Jia Cong said: "A few places add up to about five thousand, and they are all recruits."

Gao Li frowned: "That's the idea."

Jia Cong sighed: "There are only 200 million people in the whole island, which is only the number of three capitals. Now we need manpower to open up wasteland and build roads, and we don't have many generals. Besides, raising soldiers is too expensive." It is a sword, a bow, a crossbow, and a western gun. The soldiers are paid more than the Imperial Forest Army.

Gao Li said: "Since there are few people, you need to be more refined. If you don't fight, you can't train a strong army. There are many small countries in the south and pirates, so you can fight them. If you take down the pirates' nest, there will be a lot of spoils. It's a pity. I don't have a navy here, or I will fight with you."

Jia Cong said "Oh!" "Why did I forget!"

"Forgot what?"

Jia Cong said happily: "Although I don't have any soldiers, Huo Sheng has them!"

Gao Li said: "Huo Sheng's people are not yours, do you want to swallow them?"

Jia Cong shook his head: "No. I've been thinking that Japanese pirates are a problem, and the coastline is extremely long. It's too difficult to prevent them. At most, they can treat the symptoms. It's better to just beat Dongying, and let the Japanese pirates on the sea become trees without roots. The source of water, this can cure the root cause. I have too few people, and I can only fight guerrilla warfare. There are so many navy troops in Lingnan, let’s go there and fight! It’s a great thing for the country, the people, and the stability of the country.” It can also be used for future generations. The children and grandchildren wiped out a big enemy.

Gao Li said: "He may not be willing to go."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "He is willing. He may not have been willing before, but now he must be willing. Let him snatch it, and everything he snatches will belong to him. Yes, yes! Why didn't I think of it earlier!"

Since ancient times, war wealth is the best way to make money.This is an extremely barbaric way of obtaining wealth. To put it bluntly, it is a large-scale robbery by the regular army and a natural enemy of civilization. It is impossible to describe the evil in all words.But it is an inescapable way of accumulating wealth.The premise of peaceful compatibility among civilizations is that they are equal in strength.Later generations generally believed that Europeans were quite civilized, and European folks had undisguised pride and yearning for the Crusades.It is a crime for robbers to rob one's own country, and it is called arrogance for an army to rob another country.In the current era when there is no peace between countries at all, launching a show of power to the outside world is an excellent way to avoid domestic conflicts among the princes.

Jia Cong squeezed his fist: "I hope Situ Pan will listen to me."

"Ok?"

Jia Cong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I came up with an idea that is extremely beneficial to the country and the people. If my nephew's eloquence never declines, it will be no problem to pass it on through the ages."

Gao Li looked at him and said, "Your aunt and grandmother said earlier that you will surely be famous forever."

Jia Cong said with a smile, "Borrow my aunt and grandma for auspicious words." The father and father looked at each other, tacitly applauding and walking forward.

They stayed in the military camp all day that day, and at night when they returned home for dinner, Gao Hua suddenly pulled Jia Cong and said, "Cong'er, brother, I have something for you." Jia Cong smiled and asked what was the matter.

It turns out that Gao Hua has a concubine who is also pregnant, and the fetus is not stable, so I want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look.

Jia Cong let out a "wow", remembering Jia Huan telling him to ask the imperial doctor to check up all the female family members of the Gao Mansion by the way before he came, and to cheer up Yingchun's sister-in-law.Jia Cong agreed at the time, but now he has long forgotten to go to the Arctic Ocean.Then he thought for a while and said: "Second cousin, don't blame the younger brother for thinking too much. The younger brother was originally a concubine, and my father's backyard has a group of girls, and the younger brother has experienced many things when he was young. This time, I will invite the imperial doctor to come over for my sister. There are still seven months in October, plus the confinement period, they have been staying in the Gao Mansion for such a long time, so I originally intended to ask them to take care of the pulse and recuperate the bones of the Gao Mansion's female family members."

At first, Gao Hua thought he would not agree when he said "Don't blame me", but after hearing it, he seemed to have this intention, and was overjoyed.Unexpectedly, Jia Cong bowed his hands to him: "What my cousin just said, I also invite my second cousin to tell my sister."

Gao Hua was taken aback: "Why bother?"

Jia Cong said: "She is your wife, and it is her responsibility that my sister-in-law's pregnancy is unstable. Naturally, she should worry about this matter. She can still gain a reputation for being a virtuous person. Isn't she perfect? ​​If I answer you directly, The little sister-in-law has nothing to do with my sister, but the second cousin-in-law often keeps in touch with my sister, I'm afraid she's not happy."

Gao Hua smiled and waved his hands and said, "Where did you think! Your second cousin is very virtuous, and she definitely won't complain about your sister because of it."

Jia Cong thought, I'm not afraid of her complaining, but I'm afraid of her revenge on my sister!With a smile on his face, he said: "Since the second cousin is virtuous, how can she refuse the second cousin's invitation to come forward? Brother, don't blame me, my younger brother is only such a biological sister, I dare not take the slightest risk."

Seeing that he was determined, Gao Hua could only say: "Forget it, I'll go back and tell her. Cong'er, I see that you are doing well, and your father loves you again. Why are you so worried? Could it be your wife..."

Jia Cong said: "The eldest lady is not bad, she never put her mind to deal with me. Later, I got my father's favor and she treated me better. That's because she has nothing to do, and my mother left early. If she has a son, or if Brother Lian's mother is still there, I will probably be living the days of Brother Huan."

Gao Hua was taken aback: "Is Huan'er doing well in your house?"

Jia Cong smiled wryly and shook his head, and talked about Jia Huan's past life for a while, leaving Gao Hua stunned!Jia Cong said again: "It's not just the eldest wife who is so ruthless, but the youngest wife is also ruthless." Then he told the story of Huo Sheng.Finally, he said, "In short, no matter whether it's the eldest wife or the younger wife or an unnamed outsider, women can't wait to step on the children born to their own men and other women with all their strength. When my sister was about to marry that day, I This is the reason why I forced my brother-in-law to swear and swear that I will not have a concubine in the house, and I will not raise an illegitimate child outside."

Gao Hua was stunned for a long time, but he couldn't believe it: "She is a big woman, and the third child raised a son with another woman, isn't it also her son?"

Jia Cong snorted, "That's the rule, it's superficiality, it's fake! The second wife is still Brother Huan's mother."

Gao Hua said: "That's what she did wrong."

Jia Cong said: "Our eldest wife is very kind to me, there is nothing wrong with it, but I have never been filial to her. I never buy anything for her when I go out to buy things, but I never miss that we are raised in our Dongfu. It's not that I don't want to part with the few silver coins, but I can't remember that she is still in the family. I don't have her bones or blood. Cousin, there are two completely different things from being connected to each other." In fact, he was thinking about Xichun. It's all because of the relationship between siblings since childhood, but now that their family has this kind of relationship with the Gao family, it is necessary to deepen the impression in Gao Hua's heart of "Cousin Cong is extremely flesh and blood", so as to replace the unborn Niece and niece add weight.

Gao Hua was silent.

Jia Cong went on to say: "It's not that I don't want to sell my cousin's face. My sister is a careful person. If she offends her second cousin, she will feel bad. Anyway, second cousin is the head of your family. , you ordered the second cousin to tell my sister that she dared not go."

Gao Hua smiled bitterly: "Hearing what you said, she must be unwilling."

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "Nonsense!"

Gao Hua sighed: "If I give birth to a son this time, don't I have to take care of him carefully so that he won't be bullied?"

Looking at his appearance, Jia Cong knew that the concubine would definitely be favored, and said: "Since you say that the second cousin is a virtuous woman, even if you feel unhappy, you probably don't dare to do anything. Bear with me!"

Gao Hua thought for a moment, then sighed again: "Didn't the second wife in your mansion say she was virtuous in the early years?" He shook his head, turned and went back.

Jia Cong also hurried to the Gaomang courtyard to tell Yingchun about it, and then patted his head: "Brother Huan reminded me, I didn't think of it at all! Otherwise, I would have asked the imperial doctor to help them look at it yesterday, The second cousin brought it up in public and it was a matter of course!"

I don't want Yingchun to be a big woman now, so my thoughts naturally turned to the big woman, and she frowned and said: "I know that the second room's Lumei is pregnant. The second sister-in-law also often invites doctors for her, so why bother to pull on Yumei?" Doctor? I'm afraid she is taking the opportunity to invite pets."

Jia Cong curled his lips: "It's someone's ability to take advantage of the opportunity to invite pets. If the second cousin sister-in-law has the ability, she can also invite her!"

Yingchun looked at him for a long time, shook her head and sighed, "That's all." Then she kept silent.

Jia Cong sat beside him for a while, and persuaded him: "I guess my sister feels wronged for the second cousin. What's the use of being unfair? The son of any woman is the second cousin's flesh and blood. it's the same."

Yingchun shook her head again.

Jia Cong said again: "It's useless to rely on virtuousness to please a man. If the second cousin's family has fathers, uncles, brothers and nephews who are promising, there is no need to please her. The second cousin will never dare to treat her slowly; if not, I want to please the second cousin. , it’s better not to think that you are superior to others just because you are a big wife. She will do as much as Lamei pleases her second cousin.” Yan Baqiang made a grimace and ran away.Yingchun stared behind him.

The next day, Gao Hua's wife Gu Shi really came to look for Jia Yingchun, begging her to ask the imperial doctor to take a look at the pregnant concubine.

Yingchun looked at her for a while, and sighed: "Second sister-in-law, you have such a temper..."

Sitting dignifiedly, Gu Shi said with a smile: "Although her status is a bit low, she is still our master's child in her womb."

Yingchun thought over and over again, and decided to say what her brother said yesterday, but swallowed it after hesitating for a long time. "Second sister-in-law is really virtuous, I will send someone to invite the imperial doctor right away."

Gu Shi hurriedly thanked her.Seeing Yingchun's face full of concern, she couldn't help turning her eyes red. After a long time, she shook her hand and said, "Where is your fate..."

Yingchun shook her hand and said: "Although there is destiny, you have to rely on your own strength. Rules are unreliable." Gritting her teeth, she actually said Jia Cong's words when she was young that "goodness is useless".

Gu Shi was stunned for a long time after hearing the words, and said: "Second master has said many times that the cousin of the Jia family is very smart, and he really lives up to his words."

Yingchun said: "It's just that there must be rules. Anyway, I wanted to ask the imperial doctor to look at the whole family's body for a while, no matter what, I can't look at her first. Not to mention the second sister-in-law, there are wives and elder sister-in-laws. When it's your turn to go to your yard to take a look for Second Sister-in-law, just take a look for her as well."

Gu Shi wiped away tears and said with a smile: "What the third sibling said is, I'll just pay it off, no matter what, I can't let her take the lead of my wife and sister-in-law."

Yingchun looked at her with a wry smile and said: "I wasted so much talk just now, was it wasted? Why did I look at the second sister-in-law as if I saw me in the early years! Second sister-in-law, even if I am in your yard, how can I let you go?" She took your lead and went first. Hua Erye only said to ask the imperial doctor to take a look at her, but he never said to look at her first."

Gu Shi lowered his head for a long time when he heard the words, and asked: "Did the third sibling have my temperament in the early years?"

Yingchun said: "Don't say I'm [-] points weaker than you, but at that moment, I dared to endure the insults from my servants."

Gu Shi wondered: "Why did you become like this?"

Yingchun smiled and said: "Cong'er stood up for me and dismissed those tricky rebels. When the new servants are not courageous, he will reward anyone who flatters me. The servants are all fascinated by money, no one is willing He gave me half an ugly look, for fear of taking the money away. Later, he took advantage of my second sister-in-law's pregnancy, and forced me to take care of the housekeeping. There are hundreds of people in our family! If we are not strong, how can we control it. I was forced to be what I am now."

Gu Shi clicked his tongue a few times, and said enviously: "My life is hard, I don't have such a good brother."

Yingchun said: "Today I'm going to try my best to persuade my second sister-in-law to say something more polite. Since I don't have a brother to rely on, I can rely on myself. Since I can be forced to be strong by the housekeeper, if Lumei is so persecuted, my second sister-in-law should also be Be strong. Even if you don't think about others, you have to think about Shu'er."

Gu's burst into tears immediately: "What's so strong, the second master usually only regards me as a housekeeper. Third sibling, why don't you give me an idea?"

Yingchun, a sister-in-law, how dare she come up with such an idea?I had no choice but to pick up some words of encouragement to persuade him, but it was of no use after half a day of persuasion.When Gu Shi left, Yingchun watched her whereabouts and let out a long sigh.

Jia Cong went to the barracks again today, and came back at night again.After dinner, I ran to talk with Yingchun.Yingchun then talked about Gu's affairs once, and said: "Cong'er, why don't you think of a way?"

Jia Cong opened his mouth wide, so he didn't give himself a break!Why didn't he inquire with his sister beforehand?Because of what Jia Huan said in Beijing, he always felt that Gao Ying Gaohua's wife would probably be jealous of his sister's good life and be unfavorable to his sister.If he had known that she had a good relationship with Gao Hua's wife, he shouldn't have made Gao Hua suspicious of his wife by saying those things yesterday.It's really difficult to overthrow it at this moment.Then he said with a headache, "Sister, I'm really not good at things in the backyard, let me think about it."

Yingchun laughed and said, "You're so smart, you can definitely figure it out!" After a while, she said, "I just said it casually, if you don't think it out, let it go."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "If you can't figure it out, of course you have to. I will do my best."
