The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 523

After releasing a carrier pigeon in Ping'an Prefecture in advance, the compulsory education school and the university were properly arranged, most of the affairs in Beijing were left to Jia Xu, and the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion were left to Jia Lan. Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin were ready to leave.The day before his departure, Qi Guofu suddenly sent a thin letter.Open it and look, inside is Chen Ruijin's birth date.

Jia Cong laughed and said, "Did they get the letter that we were leaving Beijing?"

Chen Ruijin looked at it, and said: "I know my birthday and age, but I don't know the time." Nai frowned slightly, "Looking roughly, it doesn't seem very good."

Jia Cong shrugged and said: "It's just an hour. The world is so big, and people are born every moment. You have excellent horoscope, but the five elements lack me!" Old man Wang Fu couldn't help laughing while listening, and raised his hand to pat him.

Jia Xu also stretched out his hand to take a look, then burst out laughing, "Does your family have any complaints against you?"

Chen Ruijin said lazily: "I don't want to give them money, that's the only complaint."

Jia Xu said: "Your horoscope was given to Liu Dengxi back then. It is in the S.H.I.E.L.D. file. I have checked it since I knew about you two. This... Shichen adjusted the idea for you." He blinked, "Mingsheng Baihu."

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "I'm sick." Then he looked at Chen Ruijin, "You take care of it yourself?"

Chen Ruijin's face darkened, and he said after a long time: "Don't worry about it, just leave them alone."

Jia Cong clapped his hands: "That's right. The opposite of love is not hate, but ignorance."

Jia Xu knocked on him: "Where do these strange words come from?"

Jia Cong blinked: "Secret!"

Chen Ruijin suddenly put down the teacup, turned around and left.Jia Cong shouted, "Why are you going?"

She said: "Make up the dowry list!" Jia Cong laughed.

Two days later, Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin led people out of the city gate and went straight to Ping'an Prefecture. A young servant took a thick letter and sent it to the Grand Master of the Qi State Mansion.The elders and wives of the mansion fell ill that day.

After rushing all the way to Ping'an Prefecture, Jia Cong felt as if he had entered the film and television city of later generations in a trance.Taiwan's government, especially Dajiala City, which has just been built and has not had time to fill in, already has a variety of simple-style buildings, which are somewhat similar to later generations.Although Ping'an Prefecture has been infected with many flavors from Taiwan, the houses are still Chinese-style.It’s just that the ground has been paved with cement pavement, street trees have been planted on the side of the road, there are benches for rest under the trees, there are policemen running around wearing uniforms similar to those of later generations, big blue paint and white signs can be seen everywhere, and simple gender patterns are painted on every street. of public toilets.The streets are full of merchants and hawkers, very lively.

The two entered the Jiedu envoy's mansion, and Gao Li personally led the people out to meet them.Jia Cong pointed to Chen Ruijin and said bluntly: "This is my daughter-in-law who has never been married." Chen Ruijin blushed slightly, and greeted Gao Li with a blessing.Gao Li already knew that there was such a person, so he hurriedly praised him a few times, but couldn't help but look at him a few times.

After saluting each other, everyone sat down inside.Jia Cong said: "Uncle Gao, it is difficult to start a business. Sister Lin, Yaoer, and brother have just conquered the three big islands in Nanyang. Because the King of Yan intends to let them go to North America to fight, they have to withdraw to the country; there is a shortage of people in Nanyang. If If my brother-in-law can pass, I will replace Yang Heng. He is the leader of the pirates, and he is better than others in maritime robbery. Moreover, cocoa beans are produced there, and Ping'an Prefecture is a major commercial center, so it is convenient to expand the business."

Gao Li smiled and said: "Okay, okay! This matter is easy to handle."

Jia Cong breathed a sigh of relief: "After hearing what you said, I feel more relieved. I'm afraid my cousin will not let his son go so far away."

Gao Li coughed, and said with great emotion: "I am a military general. I have been fighting in the South and North for many years. How could I not leave immediately after the first order?" He glanced at Gao Hua.Gao Li couldn't hold it anymore, he laughed loudly.Nai straightened his chest and said, "To tell you the truth, your third cousin has already prepared for it!"

"what?"

Gao Ying said with a smile: "Three or five years ago, I expected that he would go to the Malay Archipelago in Nanyang to take charge of affairs. In the past few years, I have followed my father inside and outside to learn how to lead the army and learn to be a director, and I also found a few people from Nanyang. The merchants learned some local dialect from others, and invited many masters and officials to help manage the affairs."

Jia Cong opened his mouth wide and stared blankly for a long time: "Huh? Brother-in-law! You are a fortune teller! Five years ago, Doudou was not born yet..." Doudou is the youngest daughter of Gao Mang and Yingchun. She is four years old this year and her nickname is still Jia Cong took it.

Gao Mang smiled and said: "It's just a guess. Ping'an Prefecture is the most prosperous, and I know better than others how important the Strait of Malacca is. Taiwan is originally in the south, and it is an island. It will be a matter of time before you fight there."

"How did you guess that I would come to invite you over?"

Gao Mang said: "Of course, those people in the Taiwan government have to fight for this one and then for the next one. Who else is more suitable than me? I'm your brother-in-law."

Jia Cong clapped his hands and smiled: "Oh! This brother-in-law is really dear! Please brother-in-law!"

Gao Mang smiled and said, "Just tell me what kind of official you are."

Jia Cong said: "According to international practice, it should be called the governor."

Gao Li thought for a while: "There are three big islands in that area, which is really suitable for a governor." He was secretly happy. The position of "governor" is so powerful that it is by no means comparable to the ordinary prefect and governor.

The matter was settled easily, and Gao Mang accompanied Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin to meet Yingchun inside.Gao Mang said in a low voice on the road: "I guessed that you are the elder sister who is going to the Malay Archipelago. She doesn't want to attract people's attention, so she let me say I guessed it."

Jia Cong said: "This is Ping'an Prefecture, and she is a woman. Your guess is indeed more appropriate than her guess. You are a couple anyway, and whoever guesses the same." Nei Li secretly praised: "My sister is worthy of me." Jia Cong's own sister!

It turned out that Yingchun himself wrote a letter to Jia Cong asking for this errand.When Jia Cong received the letter, he still thought that there is really no one else who is more suitable for the Taiwan government.I just found out today that the co-author Jia Ermei had been arranged five years ago.First, I convinced my husband that he would go to Nanyang sooner or later, and then let him learn some useful skills from his father-in-law, and prepared all kinds of people.When Nanyang was defeated, she ordered her younger brother to ask her man to go to Malay to take charge.In this way, she, Jia Yingchun, became a fortune teller in front of Gao Mang, and Gao Mang became a fortune teller in front of Gao Li. In fact, everyone was a pile of pawns in front of her.

When they arrived at the courtyard where Gao Mang lived, Yingchun was leading the people to pack up their things. When they saw them, they looked back and smiled: "You're here?" Their eyebrows and eyes were as gentle as ever.

Jia Cong took Chen Ruijin's hand and went forward, shouting: "Sister!" Then he raised the hands they held together, "Come and see my sister-in-law!"

Yingchun said angrily: "My girl is embarrassed."

"It's okay!" Jia Cong looked at Chen Ruijin and said, "You're not ugly, so why are you afraid of seeing my sister-in-law?" Chen Ruijin secretly gave him an elbow.

But at this moment, all the Doudou tuantuan ran out, dragging Yingchun's skirt to look behind.Jia Cong squatted down: "Two little babies! Come and see uncle."

Tuan Tuan was so bold that he took his sister to walk two steps, tilted his head and asked, "Are you uncle?"

"Yes!" Jia Cong said, "I am uncle."

Tuantuan looked at him again, and muttered, "It's not really fat."

Jia Cong looked back at his sister and brother-in-law sadly, and coughed: "Uncle was a little fat when he and Tuantuan were the same age, but now he's much thinner."

Doudou said from the side: "Actually, he's still fat! It's just not as fat as Maitreya Buddha." Gao Mang laughed beside him.

Jia Cong looked at his nephew and niece with a sullen face: "You two have such a big misunderstanding about uncle's handsomeness! Uncle has to consider whether he won't give him a birthday present next year!"

The two children shouted in unison: "Uncle is so skinny!" Everyone laughed.

Nai went back to the room and talked about the serious business in Nanyang for half a day. Gao Mang knew that the two siblings must have something to say, so he took the child out; Chen Ruijin avoided the door.

Jia Cong took a sip of tea, looked at Yingchun and said, "Sister, what happened five years ago? Why didn't you tell me?"

Yingchun lowered her head and smiled: "You little clever ghost. It's nothing...it's not my business."

"Whose business is that?"

Yingchun sighed softly, "It's Shu'er."

Back then, Gao Shu, Gao Hua's daughter, often came to play in her courtyard.At first, she just got her mother's order, but after a while, she thought about it.The rules in this yard are looser, Yingchun's temperament is soft and knowledgeable, Gao Shu is often reluctant to go back.One day five years ago, Gao Shu suddenly rushed to the Yingchun courtyard looking for a place to hide.

Yingchun stood up and asked: "What's the matter?" She also saw that her clothes were torn in several places.

Gao Shu cried: "Please don't tell my mother, Auntie!"

Yingchun pulled her and said, "It's not a problem to hide. If you can hide for a while, can you hide forever?"

Gao Shu said: "Hide until my father comes back, I will beg him to go!"

Yingchun said: "Don't be afraid." He ordered people to close the courtyard door, and Gao Shu really felt relieved. "Just tell me what's the matter, and I'll find a way for you."

After Gao Shu finished crying, Yingchun was dumbfounded: "There is such a thing!"

It turned out that Gu Shi, Gao Shu's mother, had heard someone's gossip that a girl with small feet would be better than anything else in finding a son-in-law, and ordered someone to bind Gao Shu's feet!Gao Shu was only nine years old at that time, and she was dumbfounded after hearing what the foot-bound nanny said!Unfortunately, she was usually very obedient and obedient, she lied and said that she was going to have a pee, and Gu Shi believed it.The foot-bound nun obviously didn't believe her, she took a look at her, and said on her face: I only let you hide for a while, anyway, sooner or later you won't be able to escape.She didn't know where her courage and strength came from. She had never learned how to climb a tree, but she climbed over the courtyard wall from the poplar tree behind the latrine, rubbed the outer wall with her sleeves and trousers, and came down step by step, and ran to her third aunt The yard is gone.

After Yingchun heard this, Haoxuan smashed the teacup in her hand: "It's unreasonable!" She shouted, "Xiuju, go and invite Second Grandma Hua over here."

Gao Shu suddenly knelt down in fright: "Auntie! I don't bind feet!"

Yingchun hurriedly reached out and pulled her into her arms, "No footbinding! Of course not! Auntie will convince your mother not to bind your feet."

After hearing this, Gao Shu's heart fell to the ground.Just when he was about to burst into tears, Tuantuan was watching his mother hugging his cousin, the young man was unhappy, and ran over like a little dumpling: "Mother~~Hold Tuantuan~~"

Yingchun couldn't laugh or laugh, and hurriedly hugged him: "Just hug your sister for a while." Look at Gao Shu again—how can you be jealous with a two-year-old doll?It has made him unable to cry.

Suddenly there was a rumor that Second Grandma Hua had come, and Yingchun asked Gao Shu to take Tuan Tuan to play, but Tuan Tuan hugged her mother's neck tightly and refused to leave.There was no other way, but Gao Shu hid in the wing room by herself.

Gu Shi just came in and took a seat, Yingchun said bluntly: "Sister-in-law, you want to bind Shu'er's feet? Where did you hear the gossip? If a girl from our general clan bound her feet, wouldn't the old man be furious?"

Gu Shi was stunned: "What are you doing with the old man?"

Yingchun said: "Since ancient times, civil and military classes have been different. Our Rongguo Mansion is also from martial arts. Although the girls in our family also learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery and poetry, they never bind their feet. Those are the works of some literati who are heaven and earth. It came out, and..." She lowered her voice, "The ladies in the south never bind their feet, but almost all the women in brothels bind their feet." Gu Shi suddenly gasped.Yingchun resumed her usual voice and said, "That's why girls from martial arts families have always looked down on women with bound feet. Have you ever seen a woman from a general's family have feet bound? Even married daughters-in-law don't have their feet bound, say It is the unsteadiness of the game, just like the unsteadiness of the ground, which is the most unlucky path."

Gu Shi stroked his chest in fright: "How would I know this! Dear brother and sister, please tell me."

Yingchun said: "A few days ago, Shu'er read a gossip about the Song Dynasty from me, and there was a passage in it about the little feet of a literati who was playing with pink-headed and bound feet in Gusu Pin, and asked me by the way. I told her, Said it was the Song Dynasty, and the fans of our dynasty also had their feet bound. I just scared her and thought you were going to sell her."

Gu Shi hurriedly said: "Nonsense! I am her mother, even if I make a mistake, how could it not be for her benefit?"

Yingchun persuaded: "Second sister-in-law, you should also discuss such an important matter with others. Don't be fooled by outsiders who don't know how to do it. The world has changed, and martial arts have long been suppressing literature. Besides, the old man is like the second master of Chaohua. angry……"

Gu Shi sighed: "If he turned his head, he would have to throw it on me? That goblin in the west courtyard is getting more and more rampant."

Yingchun nodded: "It's good that you understand in your heart."

The matter was resolved, and Gao Shu went back to her home safely without being punished by her mother.On the contrary, Yingchun thought about many things.She lived a comfortable life in Gao's house; but every time she read letters from Nanfang, she couldn't help but envy Yuanchun Tanchun and other sisters who could display their talents, but also regretted wasting time by herself.Although Ping'an Prefecture is rich and prosperous, it is not as free as Taiwan's government.At that moment, she already had Doudou in her stomach.Although I don't know the gender, I can't guarantee that it is a girl?Naturally, her daughter will not live like Gao Shu, and she still can't get rid of the secular constraints.

When Jia Cong got the first sea map when he was a child, he mentioned the Strait of Malacca to his sisters, saying: "I will capture this place sooner or later." Let her husband take charge in the past, and both myself and my children can take the opportunity to leave the Gao family.Even if this is not a daughter in the belly, it is better to go out.When the child was born the next year, it was really a daughter.Yingchun became more and more determined to take her out of Ping'an Prefecture.

After hearing this, Jia Cong let out a sigh of relief: "I want to feel sorry for the parents of the world again."
