Chapter 425
But Jia Baoyu decided to cut off contact with Miaoyu because of his own thoughts about others.Jia Cong was overjoyed.Compared with himself, Jia Baoyu respects and loves Shi Taijun sincerely, and he must pass on this respect and love to Daoist Zhenming.It is true that this kind of old man who has gone through vicissitudes may not be able to flatter, but the sincere filial piety of the younger generation can hold him back.
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, Jia Cong received a stack of notes before opening his eyes.This stack is a whole long rhyme. Jia Cong became sober after looking at it, and couldn't help clapping: "Good poems!" Last night, I read some poems written by Baoyu outside.Going out and seeing the world is indeed a good cure for the second year of secondary school. His original cynical literary taste has been alleviated, and the flowery rhetoric has also faded, and his writing style is much more down-to-earth.It's just that the two-year-old Wenqing's gorgeousness is the three major selling points of Shenying's waiters. If these three things are missing, there may be many fewer buyers. Jia Cong is also a pity.Now that I see this, I suddenly feel that I have developed a new product.
He hurriedly got up, had breakfast and changed clothes, thought about running to the next door to say hello to Chen Ruijin: "I'm going to Tandu Temple to discuss business with Master Miaoyu."
Chen Ruijin wondered, "What business are you talking about with her?"
Jia Cong took out the stack of notes from his bosom: "Perhaps Brother Baoyu wrote to her to cut off contact. She thought I misunderstood that there was something shameful between the two of them, and she was wronged, so she wrote this to call for grievances. Uh, Clarification. Here you go."
Chen Ruijin picked up the paper and looked at it from the beginning, and said with a smile: "The poem is really well written, but she thinks too much of herself."
Jia Cong blinked and said, "This is called 'there are always people who want to harm me'." Chen Ruijin gave him a sidelong glance.Jia Cong rubbed the back of his head, "I always feel that others deliberately misinterpret and slander her. She is clean, and I wish I could die to prove my innocence. Brother Baoyu used to have this style of writing, but now it is much less. But this kind of writing is very easy to sell. "
Chen Ruijin couldn't help but laugh: "You don't want Master Miaoyu to sell his writings, do you? How can she agree?"
Jia Cong said: "Once the two old men of the Bai family died, the tea she ate was already provided by the uncle of the Wang family, and it was so expensive. The Wang family and Prince Xianyizhong didn't have any rest. For the sake of the old man Gong Sanyi, they are protecting them." As long as she is safe, there is no obligation to provide her with tea. In the early years, she was with the Zhong family and cooked tea anyway." Then she took up her note and left.
Guangzhou was originally Wang Ziteng's territory, and he brought people with him, so Chen Ruijin didn't go with him.Gong Kun is that knowledgeable.Since I got Jia Cong's letter, saying that I would search out the items shipped from Chang'an Fenglong rice and pick out the ones from the Qi State Mansion, I immediately understood that those two people had good things in Shu State.So they sorted out the list and sent it to the house in Guangzhou.When Jia Cong and the others came, they used to live in Prince Teng's mansion first, and naturally they went to their own house to say something, and the list was sent over.Chen Ruijin then sat idle in the yard, looking at the list by the way.
All of a sudden, a maidservant from Wang Ziteng's mansion came to ask her to chew her teeth, and said something about food, clothes, clothes, clothes, Jia Congzhi's preference, and what kind of woman she usually likes.Chen Ruijin was in a good mood, so he turned back and got out of this big maid.It turned out that she was with Mrs. Wang Ziteng.Seeing that Jia Cong was too old to marry a wife, Wang Ziteng often muttered about nothing.The old lady came to help inquire, so that he could find a good marriage for him later.
Chen Ruijin laughed secretly in his heart, but said in a low voice: "Listening to what the third master said inside and outside the meaning, I already have someone I like."
The maid's eyes lit up: "Who is it?"
Chen Ruijin smiled slightly: "It's me."
The servant girl gave her an angry look: "From now on, a girl should be favored by the third master Cong. It's just that the third master will marry a decent grandma sooner or later, right?" Chen Ruijin just smiled without saying a word.The servant girl was a bit puzzled, she glanced at the list on the case and said, "Why does it look like a gift list?"
Chen Ruijin said casually, "That's my dowry list."
Although the servant girl couldn't read, seeing the extremely long list, she couldn't help taking a breath, stood up hurriedly and said: "I almost forgot, my wife asked me to pick up something." She hurried away.Chen Ruijin didn't send it off either, and said "Goodbye" in his mouth, and picked up the list again to look at it.
On the other side, Jia Cong drove his horse to Tandu Temple, and posted a post asking to see Miaoyu.Miaoyu invited him in, but she didn't turn her face straight. She just sat on the futon and knocked the wooden fish on the Bodhisattva.Jia Cong became angry: "What a big air! Believe it or not, I turned around and told Uncle Wang to leave you alone, and someone will snatch you away tomorrow."
Miaoyu said: "The poor nun is for the good of the third master, don't make any bad gossip."
Jia Cong sneered and said, "Master feels wronged, right? But don't forget that you are just an ordinary sister-in-law, no one has the time to know who you are. Gossiping people don't care whether you are clean or not, they just say you are convenient They look like they are chewing their tongues. Whenever these gossips reach my second sister-in-law's ears, she will definitely feel uncomfortable. That's right, she is Miss Houmen and the young mistress of the Gongfu, even if there is a one in ten thousand chance of offending her I am happy, but I have to wrong you, an ordinary aunt."
Miaoyu was silent.She has lived and wandered for more than [-] years, and she knows these things clearly.Dare to put down face on Jia Cong, it is nothing more than knowing that Gong San is also his husband.
"The world has always been a place where the weak have no human rights." Jia Cong said, "Master Miaoyu has no power to restrain a chicken. He has lost his parents and family, and he has no relatives and friends. When you were snatched away by the king of Chu, the Bodhisattva and Buddha did not cast spells to protect you." Looking at you. With a beautiful face, you dare not shave your head. It is out of date, and the power is not right, but you can still live well. It is all thanks to your aunt who was a righteous and loyal princess. How many of your uncle’s faction have survived to this day? ? Your fate is not good? You love tea, and someone specially offers it to you. Uncle Wang is not your uncle's subordinate."
Miaoyu was speechless, a little embarrassed.
"No one can enjoy a good life for no reason. My brother Baoyu is a good fortune teller, right? He also has to write articles and exchange words for money." Jia Cong took out the stack of papers she sent someone this morning from his sleeve , "Master Miaoyu is not without expertise. Tea is good, and poems are good. I came to do business with Master. If Master is not willing to be a tea lady, and cook tea in exchange for food and clothing, take this in exchange for money." It's the same."
Miaoyu turned around in shock, stared at him dumbfounded, and said with a wry smile, "I wrote for nothing all night."
Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "I wrote it all night! No wonder it's well written. Such poems sell well. If Master doesn't want to cause trouble because of his aunt's status, you can use a pseudonym." Miaoyu recited the Buddha's voice. "Or if you're tired of being an aunt, you can return to vulgarity. Your uncle has already been rehabilitated."
Miaoyu was still speechless.
Jia Congnai took up a pen and wrote a few words on her desk, and sighed softly: "You really have to thank two people. Your aunt, Princess Yizhong, and my husband, Gong Sanyi." Then he stood up, "I want to Understood, send someone to tell me."
After he left, Miaoyu moved to the front of the case to have a look. It read:
If you want to be clean, why Zengjie, the sky may not be empty.
Poor gold and jade, finally sinking into the mud.
Miaoyu couldn't help feeling a surge of panic in her heart, like being struck by lightning.Something flashed in front of my eyes and ears in a trance, but I couldn't grasp what it was.She is very talented, there are too many bright words in these few words, and the origin of Jia Cong as passed down by the world, she guessed a general idea in an instant, and she stood there blankly, becoming a clay sculpture of a Bodhisattva.
Jia Cong returned to the Governor's Mansion, changed his clothes and came out to tell Chen Ruijin a few words about seeing Miaoyu.Chen Ruijin glanced at him: "Good temper."
Jia Cong said: "Miaoyu has a withdrawn personality and a noble heart. In later generations, there is a literati whom I respect very much, Mr. Cao Xueqin, who likes her very much. Besides, it's not good to vent your anger on weak women. If she doesn't exchange poems for money, life will be difficult immediately. Eat Tea is addictive, and selling literature is not a shameful thing. Why should I have trouble with money?"
"That's all, needless to say." Chen Ruijin said, "I don't want to know."
Jia Cong glanced at her a few times: "In a bad mood?"
"Good."
Jia Cong didn't believe it, but he didn't know what had offended her, so he leaned next to her and made a few jokes.Chen Ruijin just didn't know where he was unhappy for no reason, so let him coax him for a while.Jia Cong secretly rejoiced: she looks more and more like an ordinary woman.
Nai dragged her out for a stroll, wandering around the city of Guangzhou, riding a horse on the road.On the way, I ran into Jia Baoyu and Zhenming eating snacks on the side of the road!Jia Cong was overjoyed and hurried over to eat together.Zhenming was still sullen at first, but Jia Cong had a hippie smile on his face. Baoyu was careful and obedient, and he relaxed a lot before he knew it.He knew Chen Ruijin's identity, but Jia Baoyu didn't know, so he asked her sister one by one.It's just that he was born to respect women in the world, even if he was a maid, he would never underestimate them, which made Chen Ruijin a little impressed.With Zhenming Chen Ruijin and two masters by his side, Jia Cong was always looking forward to something so that they could fight the injustice.It's a pity that it took half an hour in vain, and nothing happened!I had no choice but to give up, bid farewell to Baoyu and the others, and the two went on shopping.
Seeing the two of them leaving, Baoyu frowned and said, "Look at Cong'er's appearance, I like it very much. Sister Dian, I'm about to take her into the house." Nai sighed, "In the early years, he also said that he was afraid that there would be trouble in the backyard, so he didn't want a concubine. Yes." Remembering that such a gentle and steady woman as Chen Ruijin would fall into the hands of Zhengfang Jia Cong one day, he couldn't help sighing again.
Zhenming also took a glance: "Jia Cong's posture is clearly to marry her as his wife."
Baoyu was stunned for a moment, then said: "Impossible. With his identity, how can he marry a maid?"
"Who can control him?"
"My uncle will definitely not agree."
"Jia Amnesty can't control him." Zhen Ming said, "Jia Cong has his own ideas. No one else can persuade him about marriage matters, only he can decide for himself."
Baoyu was silent for a long time, and murmured: "He really dare not listen to the old man." Nai said to Zhenming, "Uncle, don't let my uncle know about this matter. I'm afraid I will report to the old man. In case Cong What kind of plan do they have, don't let him disturb it."
Zhenming glanced at him and sighed, "Are you really Jia Cong's brother?" Baoyu lowered his head.Zhenming said, "He didn't care about everything when he didn't provoke him, but when he provoked him, he met gods and killed gods, met Buddhas and killed Buddhas, and you turned around. Don't worry about your affairs, and listen to your own affairs other people's."
Baoyu lowered his head even more, and it took him a long time to say: "I have already found out, even if I don't listen to the master, it's nothing. I'm just used to it."
Zhenming said: "Jia Cong told me when I was in Chengdu, you let your grandmother get used to what she is now, and she doesn't look like a man at all. It's all because of our surname Shi, who raised your grandfather's rare smart grandson into a waste firewood."
Baoyu hurriedly said: "It has nothing to do with the ancestors! It's just that I am incompetent."
Zhenming looked at him with distaste and said, "He's in his 20s, and he's been outside for the past few days. He still can't carry his shoulders or hands. He doesn't look like a man! Starting tonight, I'll talk to Yuan Shikai, Liao Shouping strode together."
Baoyu was stunned: "Huh? Uncle, I have no intention of learning martial arts."
"You can't learn martial arts with your arms and legs." Zhenming said, "Although Jia Cong likes to talk nonsense, there is nothing wrong with what he said. Human nature is lazy, and can't do anything for no reason; human nature is tough, forced to You can do anything. Since our surname Shi raised you and disabled you, now our surname Shi will correct you. At least you can train your blood." Nai waved his hand, "That's it."
Jia Baoyu was stunned for a long time after hearing the words: "...Huh?!"
That night, Zhenming took Jia Baoyu to learn martial arts with those two.The yard is buzzing.Yuan Shikai was a teenager, Jia Baoyu was in his twenties, and Liao Shouping was almost thirty.All three are beginners, but those two are obviously gifted with ideas, and Jia Baoyu is purely a frail scholar.Originally Yuan Shikai was the brightest, and Liao Shouping was a little clumsy, but now he is a top student compared to Jia Baoyu.
On the first night, Baoyu couldn't hold it anymore and refused to practice any more, so he asked Jia Cong to ask Zhenming for mercy, can he save himself from learning this.Jia Cong rolled his eyelids: "Who am I? Didn't I tell you? The old man killed more than a dozen in an instant! Really. In an instant. When you meet such a high-strength force, you are still an elder, Brother Bao, you just kill him!" Be honest and obedient!"
Baoyu's face fell instantly: "I really don't want to learn that..."
Jia Cong smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "When we were young, we were all doing horse riding, and you were the only one who was playing with the maids and sisters. Now it's your turn hahahaha..." He danced and gestured happily , "The way of heaven is reincarnation, who will the sky spare—"
Jia Baoyu suddenly remembered something, and said in a low voice: "Uncle said, do you want to marry your older sister?"
"Yes!" Jia Cong said happily, "He also saw it. The old man has a good eye."
Baoyu said in a low voice, "Will the Master agree?"
"Huh?" Jia Cong looked at him blankly, "It's 'I' marrying a wife, just tell my father."
Baoyu was stunned for a long time, and said: "In the world, parents make decisions about marriage, but you can make decisions yourself."
"It's not for nothing." Jia Cong said, "I've been fighting all these years since I was three years old to be able to make my own decisions."
Baoyu let out a long sigh, and from now on she no longer complained about being lazy, and followed Zhenming's steps obediently.
The next day, Mrs. Wang Ziteng quietly sent an old woman to look for Chen Ruijin, saying that she wanted to recognize her as her goddaughter.Chen Ruijin laughed dumbfounded and declined.Turning back to Jia Cong, he said, "Lord Wang's wife is a knowledgeable person, so she didn't come to persuade you."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Where can a woman who can raise Lian's second sister-in-law be so bad? It's just that she is not really smart, this move is a bit silly."
Chen Ruijin nodded and said: "I told that old lady, I won't let Mrs. Wang know about it. She must be able to understand after a little thought."
"You're still smart." Jia Cong grabbed her hand and said, "We're not young now, should we get married early? It saves so many outsiders from making plans to watch the fun."
Chen Ruijin glanced at him: "It's interesting to fall in love, let's talk about it later." Jia Cong rubbed his nose, pretending to be pitiful.Chen Ruijin couldn't help laughing.
