The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 250

Several bodyguards escorted Miaoyu along the official road, inquiring about the appearance of Zhong Wei and the others along the way, and finally caught up with them at noon two days later.

It happened that Zhong Wei and the others were working in a small town, and suddenly they heard someone outside the small shop shouting, "Is there an official Zhong from the middle of Beijing?" He quickly stood up: "It's right here."

The person who came was dark and strong, and he cupped his hands with a smile and said, "My surname is Xiong, and I am a bodyguard from the Taiping Bodyguard Bureau. Mr. Zhong is walking so fast! We have worked so hard to catch up."

Zhong Wei also cupped his hands and asked, "Could it be that something happened in Beijing?"

Xiong Biaoshi said: "Our little master asked to send a little master over, I will trouble the senior officials to take it with me."

Zhong Wei was taken aback when he heard the words, looked at each other with his companions, and asked, "What little master?"

Xiong Biaoshi said: "I didn't know about it, but I was ordered to pick it up from her." He took out a letter from his pocket.

Zhong Wei took it and opened it to see that it was written by Jia Cong.The letter roughly stated that there was a beautiful nun who was harassed by Prince Zhongshun in the early years. Xing Xiuyan asked Yuanchun to protect her. After Yuanchun left Beijing, she was arrested again. .He sincerely did not write the name of the nunnery, nor did he mention the name of Miaoyu.Later, it was said that some powerful people came to harass her these days, and the nunnery master didn't dare to stay, so he wanted to send her out of Beijing.Because I heard that this nun was very good at the tea ceremony, and also that he was the one whom Prince Zhongshun had cared about for a long time, and was rescued after being snatched, I sent Zhong Wei to take care of him for a while, so that he could be taken back to Beijing after the nobleman gave up his mind.

Zhong Wei couldn't help laughing, and said to his companions: "Third Master Cong, I'm afraid we don't understand the market of tea houses, so he sent a tea art master." He passed the letter to them.When others saw it, they all thought that Jia Cong intended to use their daughter as bait to lure King E out of the palace, and they all smiled knowingly.

Zhong Weina cupped his hands to Bodyguard Xiong and said, "I'm sorry to escort Bodyguard Xiong all the way, where is this Master now? What's the Dharma name?"

Xiong Biaoshi said: "It's at the entrance of the town, I'll lead her over."

Zhong Wei said: "I will go with the bodyguard." The two of them went to the entrance of the town together.

One of the bodyguards went to buy dry food, and the others surrounded Miaoyu as if protecting Tang Monk. When they saw them coming, they laughed and said, "This errand is over."

Zhong Wei walked over and saw a woman at a glance, clasped his fists and said: "Little Master, dare to ask for the Dharma name."

Miaoyu raised her head and recited a Buddha before she was about to speak, when she suddenly saw his face, she was shocked, trembling and speechless.Zhong Wei calmed down, frowned and glanced at Miaoyu, not knowing what to do.Only Escort Xiong said naively: "This master's name is Miaoyu." Then he said to Miaoyu, "This is Mr. Zhong."

A bodyguard said by the side: "The errands are over, we can go back to Beijing." Several people next to him also yelled to go back to eat a good meal, go back to sleep, go back to buy lanterns for their son, no one paid attention to the two of them. Looks wrong.

Zhong Wei felt strange.Regardless of why this nun got hooked up with the Rongguo Mansion, with the ability of the rest of Prince Yizhong, how could he not be able to protect a little sister-in-law?I don't know what the hell Jia Cong is doing.Just when I wanted to ask another question, the person who bought dry food had already returned.Escort Xiong clasped his fists and said: "The people have been delivered, we will go back to Beijing to return to our orders." Several people roared a few words, jumped on their horses and left!Only Miaoyu was left trembling on the street with a small burden on her back.

Zhong Wei wanted to stop them but couldn't find an excuse, so he watched Miaoyu Huizi and led her to a secluded place for interrogation.Miaoyu is really at a loss, she only knows that there are many people who want to arrest her, Jing Yuan and Gong San also discussed sending her out of Beijing to avoid disaster, nothing else!Let Zhong Wei guess that "Fan Yao" is Gong Sanyi from the Taiping Escort, so he can get the matter over from the beginning.At that time, Zhong Wei had heard others examine Miaoyu, and knew that this nun had nothing to do with him except being a relative of Prince Yizhong.So she guessed for a long time, but she couldn't figure out what disaster forced her to leave Beijing.It's just that Jia Cong was embarrassed to send her here, so he couldn't help hesitating.

Miaoyu also saw that he had no malicious intentions, so she folded her palms together and said, "Since it's inconvenient for officials, poor nuns can go to a nunnery to practice at will." Nai praised the Buddha, turned and left.

She decided to leave, but Zhong Wei was embarrassed, and stepped forward and said: "The sea is replaced by mulberry fields. It is different now. The misunderstandings between our two families have long been solved, so Master doesn't have to worry about it. It's just that it's a long way to Ezhou, and everything is safe. It’s a bit difficult to start from scratch.”

Miaoyu lowered her eyes and said: "The poor nun has never done evil in his life, but he will never live in peace. This time, we are here to avoid disasters, so we can just get a tile to cover ourselves. Or if we meet a nunnery on the road, the poor nun can send it to me."

Zhong Wei said: "Although I don't know why, it must be fierce, and the unusual nunnery can't stop it."

Miaoyu said indifferently: "My Buddha is merciful. If there is no escape, you don't have to involve others." Then she took out something from her bosom and handed it to Zhong Wei, "I heard that this is the official's property, and I will return it now."

Zhong Wei took a look at it, but it was a "free card" signed by himself, and he suddenly felt that his face was hard to save.He hurriedly said: "Once my husband speaks out, it's hard to follow. I once owed a favor to Mr. Cong of the Rongguo Mansion to guarantee Master's safety. Besides, there was something in his letter that he would come to pick up Master when things happened in Beijing. .”

Miaoyu said: "Why bother to do it?"

Zhong Wei smiled bitterly and said: "It's not difficult, it's just that I'm at a loss." Then he cupped his fists and saluted her, "I was a little rude just now, Master, don't blame me."

Miaoyu recited a Buddha: "Trouble the officials."

The two of them bit the bullet and went to the small shop where Zhong Wei came.On the way, Miaoyu suddenly asked, "I don't know whether the officials and the accompanying benefactors have had lunch."

Zhong Wei said: "I just finished eating."

Miao Yunai stopped and bought two steamed buns from a roadside shop, then turned around and said, "In this way, there is no need to delay your work."

Zhong Wei was about to speak but swallowed again, and frowned.

On the other end, Feng Ziying came back from the outside, and the servants replied that a servant from Rongguo Mansion came to deliver a message, saying that Jia Cong invited him to Xue's house tomorrow.Feng Ziying felt a little strange in her heart, but still sent someone to Rongguo Mansion and agreed.

The next day, Feng Ziying rode his horse to Xue's house.Xue Pan's two sisters are both married, and they feel very comfortable, and because of the excitement in Beijing, they stayed for a while.It was reported that Feng Ziying had come, and he and Liu Aiyun came out in person.Jia Cong has arrived and is waiting in the flower hall.

Xue Pan is now a rich man, but his family is not vulgar.Feng Ziying couldn't help praising: "I didn't come to you for a while, and I cleaned up a lot more elegantly."

Xue Pan pointed at Liu Aiyun with a smile and said, "It's all his idea, I never care about it."

Feng Ziying said with emotion: "You two have really been together for so many years..." Liu Aiyun smiled lightly, Xue Pan was elated.

Arriving at the flower hall for a while, they set up a table and chatted for a while, Feng Ziying looked at Jia Cong.Jia Cong said: "Speaking of it, big brother Xue, your family's business is so big, and big sister Xue is still in charge of many things, how can you think about it in the future?"

Xue Pan was taken aback: "What about the future? What about the future?"

Jia Cong said: "After 40 years, you will be old, brother Liu will be old, sister Xue and Jiang Zixuan will be old. You are planning to adopt their children."

Xue Pan nodded: "Not bad."

"The so-called time has passed and the new generation is better than the old ones. It will be different from this time. The grandchildren have grown up. Your family's business will be bigger and there will be more things. At that time, what you think may not be right. , and the children and grandchildren have their own opinions." Jia Cong looked at him and said, "What are you going to do?"

Xue Pan was stunned for a long time before saying, "Huh?"

Jia Cong said: "In the future, when the two of you are no longer the most understanding people in the Xue family, who will decide the important affairs of the Xue family."

Xue Pan said: "I never thought about something so far away." Liu Aiyun kicked him.Xue Pan hurriedly said, "Ai Yun has the final say!"

Liu Aiyun couldn't laugh or cry, her face turned to Jia Cong, her eyes looked at Feng Ziying: "Does Cong'er have any ideas?"

Xue Pan said: "Of course my son said..." He was kicked again, and Liu Aiyun stared at him, and dared not speak.

Jia Cong also turned his face to Liu Aiyun, and glanced at Feng Ziying: "Western stores have a 'shareholding system' method, you can try it."

Liu Aiyun interjected, "What is a shareholding system?"

"It's very simple. For example, those of us here are planning to open a new shop together, and everyone contributes money to make up the principal. In the end, the shares are calculated according to the amount each person contributes. The more money, the more shares. This is very clear."

Xue Pan said, "I'm like this in many shops."

Jia Cong said: "However, many shops cannot be opened later because the partners will quarrel."

"good."

"According to the rules, whoever has more shares should listen to whoever has more shares. But in fact, it is mostly not the case. Usually it is whoever can persuade others to listen to whom. If someone is not persuaded, they will continue to talk, right?" He turned his face to Xue Pan His eyes looked at Feng Ziying.Feng Ziying nodded.

Xue Pan said, "I've never heard of this." He kicked Liu Aiyun again.

Liu Aiyun said: "That's because our family has never opened a shop in partnership with others. It's true that other people's families often argue for a month without saying anything." Feng Ziying nodded while listening, and wanted to laugh.

Jia Cong said: "This problem is very easy to solve." Feng Ziying's eyes lit up! "According to the rules." He took a sip of tea and said, "Whoever has more shares has the final say, and whoever pays more has the final say. You don't have to agree to one thing, as long as the big fish agree. "

Feng Ziying said: "If Xiao Xiami disagrees, they will not follow through on what was agreed upon."

Jia Cong said: "So let's set the rules first. A small shrimp is a shrimp in this shop, but a big fish if it is not kept in another shop?"

Feng Ziying still frowned.

Jia Cong said: "There is an organization called the 'United Nations' overseas. It is not a country, but an organization similar to a chamber of commerce. Representatives of various factions from many countries gather in one place all year round. They meet almost every day to discuss major issues in these countries. Xiaoqing. At first the purpose was not to fight each other, but later many things were discussed. When discussing matters, each country can propose. However, whether the proposal will be successful or not depends on what kind of proposal it is. There are three types. The first one is Big things related to fighting. They elected five big countries, called 'permanent members', who have veto power on big things. That is, if one big country disagrees with a certain big thing, that thing won't happen. For example, fighting a war."

Feng Ziying nodded and said, "Great countries do have some weight in war."

"The second type is trivial matters. This matter is voted on by all countries. Whoever gets the most votes has the final say. For example, which country's clothes don't look good, everyone scolds him..." Feng Ziying and others all laughed. "Actually, the third type is the most common, which is related to money. For example, six departments, disaster relief, etc."

Feng Ziying's eyes lit up: "How is this?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Share-holding system." Seeing Feng Ziying's stunned, he explained, "Whoever pays more money has the final say. Which country gives the Ministry of Industry more money, the Ministry of Industry has the final say; which country gives the Ministry of Punishment If you have a lot of money, the Ministry of Criminal Justice will have the final say on them; no one can think of someone who will help you when you don’t usually pay money. If you don’t have enough shares and want to have the final say, you will recruit people to form a partnership. As long as the total shares are more than half, you can also have the final say .”

Feng Ziying said: "Some small countries are poorer, what if there is a disaster?"

Jia Cong said: "Let their lords try to seek help from neighboring countries, or simply merge into neighboring countries voluntarily. There is no friendship between countries."

Feng Ziying shook her head and said, "Isn't that going to be a mess? Let's just pay the others. If the Ministry of Punishment also uses the shareholding system, and someone in a big country kills someone in a small country, can they not pay for their lives?"

Jia Cong glanced at him and said: "If the prince himself is in a bad mood when he is drunk and kills the people for fun, will he pay for his life?"

Feng Ziying choked, and said after a while, "That's the prince."

Jia Cong said: "I'm just reminding Brother Feng that the law can only control the weakest." In later generations, many citizens of a certain big country committed crimes in a small country without incident. "What we have to discuss is not justice, but feasibility. This is what I have said many times, don't expect the world to become what it should be, but to figure out what it actually is. Brother Feng, whether you or I or Xian The king is nothing more than an ant between the heaven and the earth. Now the kings are indecisive in their discussions, because they all hope that others will be reasonable in their own weaknesses, but they are not reasonable in their own strengths. If you want them to hurry up If you have a decision, you can only cut off those 'hopes', that is, let them no longer expect others to be reasonable, and they don't reason about everything and only focus on strength." Feng Ziying frowned even more.

Xue Pan said, "Can't we make them all reason?"

Jia Cong shook his head: "I can't. If I rule the country and the emperor is reasonable, the whole country can be reasonable. Brother Xue, like water flowing downhill, most people in this world are not saints. When they can be overbearing, they are It won't make sense."

Liu Aiyun sighed: "In this way, it is better to have an emperor."

Jia Cong said: "However, if luck is bad and the emperor is unreasonable, then there is no chance to argue and work hard. For example, when the first emperor was old." He also sighed, "It's just that luck is not very reliable. Stay. I think King Xian is reasonable, but I don’t know if his son and grandson are reasonable. Also.” He lowered his voice and said, “When he reaches the age of the first emperor, will he suddenly become less so? Make sense?"

Feng Ziying looked at him with wide eyes suddenly, and took a deep breath.

Jia Cong didn't check, clapped his hands and looked at Xue Pan: "The wine is cold. Brother Xue, ask someone to warm the bar." Xue Pan hurriedly called for someone to warm the wine.Feng Ziying stared at Jia Cong for a long time, Jia Cong smiled and said, "I didn't say anything just now."

Feng Ziying kept silent and just ate the wine.
