The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 553

Jia Cong overheard Bai Shi and Fen Xiang's mother and daughter talking about the past.It turned out that when the two of them avoided going to Zhen Yingjia's house, Mr. Zhen Deren asked Anise to memorize 36 numbers.Jia Cong came from 300 years later, and immediately remembered the password.It's just that there are 36 numbers in the air, and I don't know what to do, it seems useless.Then I heard Bai asked, "What's the number?"

Fen Xiang said: "From 36 to [-], they are arranged in random order. My grandfather only asked me to remember them, and didn't say anything else."

Bai said urgently, "Or tell Mr. Jia?"

Fen Xiang said: "They came so suddenly, it's obvious that they came here for this matter. If I told him, wouldn't it be useless? Let them silence it?"

Bai said: "Miss, you are worrying too much. I don't think Mr. Jia is that kind of person."

Fennel shook her head and said, "I don't know, I dare not act recklessly."

After being silent for a long time, finally Bai sighed: "This is the end of the matter, let's take a step and see. Didn't you come here back then?" The mother and son fell asleep full of worries.

Jia Cong and Wu Xiaoxi quietly slipped out of the secret door.Now that the sky is full of stars, Jia Cong looked up at the sky and muttered, "36. The twelve signs of the zodiac are multiplied by three?"

Wu Xiaoxi said: "Shouldn't 36 be the number of Tiangang Star?"

"It also makes sense." Jia Cong touched his neck, "Could it correspond to Water Margin?"

Wu Xiaoxi laughed and said: "Why did you think of that for no reason? Mr. Zhen is working for the Tian family."

Jia Cong looked up at Mantian Xingzi again and said, "There are only 36 numbers. Whether it corresponds to Tiangang or Jinglu, the information is incomplete. Zhen Deren must have other information hidden elsewhere, or..." He After thinking for a while, "Maybe these 36 numbers are the last piece on the puzzle board."

Wu Xiaoxi glanced at him: "Speak human."

Jia Cong explained: "When Fennel was only four years old, she hid in Zhen Yingjia and Mrs. Zhen's house under their noses. This can be investigated. If someone wants to find out whether Zhen Deren has any descendants, or they If there are any other clues after the family is destroyed, we will definitely find out from Zhen Yingjia's house. Zhen Yingjia has not received special training, so there is always a way to get words out of him."

Wu Xiaoxi thought for a while: "It also makes sense. Why don't we try it."

"what?"

"Isn't Zhen Yingjia still alive?"

Wu Xiaoxi then sent a letter to Jinling.Jia Cong later asked her what method she used, and she only said one word: money.This is for later.

On the next day, because many people knew that shopkeeper Wu was coming, Wu Xiaoxi was very busy going out to discuss business all day long.Jia Cong ordered someone to take the dossiers from Dai Xian's house to look at, and it was quite a headache to see who was suitable to support.In the afternoon, he ordered someone to invite fennel.Fennel obviously calmed down a lot, entered the study and saluted generously.

Jia Cong pointed to the file on the desk and said, "This is the information of the men of the Dai family. Check it out."

Fennel smiled wryly, "Mr. Jia, I don't know how to read."

Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "That's right. Zhen Yingjia is too mean to teach you how to read."

Fen Xiang lowered her head and said, "I'm just a servant in their residence."

"It's easy to choose a clever girl who can read and write." Jia Cong said, "All the big maids in our family can read, and there are a few who can write articles." Fen Xiang showed a hint of envy in her eyes.Jia Cong just did not investigate, and said seriously, "I came to Fuzhou this time to cooperate with Dai Xian, and I am a little worried that Dai Xian is too greedy and will cooperate with us openly and secretly dig a hole. You I have been in Dai's family for many years, do you think there is anyone in their family who can be trusted? No matter the girl or master, the important steward or the staff."

Fennel asked: "Mr. Jia wants to install a secret work in Dai's house?"

"That's not true. I just want to find a reliable partner." Jia Cong said, "It's not like their family doesn't have a meticulous job. I can get the news from the boss of the detailed job, so I don't have to install it myself. It's too expensive to raise a detailed job. .”

Fenix ​​thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Jia, if he wants to do business with the Dai family, only the master is reliable."

"Do you think Dai Xian is reliable?"

Fennel shook her head: "Regardless of whether it is reliable or not, only the master is the master of the Dai family, and others are useless."

Jia Cong glanced at her: "If you are given an identity, let you serve as Dai Xian's staff and blatantly represent me, will you do it?"

Fennel was stunned: "What does Mr. Jia mean?"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Please be the special envoy of our Taiwan government and co-chairman with Mr. Dai Xian. Just be a professional manager. I need Dai Xian to build new roads, expand factories, change students' teaching materials, etc. If possible, You secretly steal from Dai Xian and Huang Wengang, it will be even better if you can suppress them in the future."

Fennel was stunned for a while again: "Then... isn't there someone who is going after our family?"

Jia Cong shrugged and said, "Don't you even know who they are right now? You can't wait for nothing. Miss Zhen, in a word, why don't you do it?"

Fennel thought for a moment, then said briskly, "Do it!"

Jia Cong clapped his hands: "Have courage!"

Fenix's eyes showed a hint of pride: "What others can do, I can do too."

Jia Cong laughed and asked, "Do you have an original name? The Zhen family took it."

"No." Fennel said, "The girl never got a name. It's fine to keep her name Fenix, I'm used to it."

Jia Cong nodded: "Forget it. I'll send someone to handle the household registration for you tomorrow, just Zhen Fenxiang?" Fenix ​​gave him a surprised look, and bowed silently.Jia Cong stood up and looked at her sternly, "The thing I dislike the most is the contract of prostitution. I hope Miss Zhen will understand in the future that people should not be slaves." Nai walked out with his hands behind his back.

The next day, Mrs. Dai came to the door early.Jia Cong was still sleeping late, so he ordered someone to send Fennel out to meet her.Fennel was originally wearing old homely clothes, but when she heard that the old owner was coming, she hesitated for a moment, then went back and changed into new clothes.Someone gave her two bolts of satin in Honggu Ji yesterday, Bai was overjoyed, and rushed to make a new one for her.

Mrs. Dai was waiting in the hall with her maid, stomping her feet anxiously, she looked up to see Fennel coming out from behind, wearing a brand new satin shirt, she hurriedly went up to her: "Fenix!"

Fennel lowered her eyebrows and said, "Ma'am."

Mrs. Dai said anxiously: "What's going on!"

Fen Xiang said: "Mr. Jia saw that I was clever, and even sighed 'it's a pity', so he sent someone to ask the master for me."

Mrs. Dai was annoyed: "You are my man, so he asked for it? He wants to take you into the house?"

Fennel shook her head and said, "Mr. Jia asked someone to apply for my household registration as a good citizen and do things for him. He said he wanted to partner with our master, but he was busy and didn't have time to stay in Fujian day and night, so he ordered me to be some kind of 'special envoy'. Anyway, it's almost the same as the big manager, guarding him in Fujian."

Mrs. Dai was dumbfounded, and asked after a while: "Mr. Jia wants to partner with the master, and let you be his steward and stay in Fujian?" Fen Xiang nodded.Mrs. Dai and the maid next to her looked at each other for a long time, then turned around, "You are a woman, how could you be sent for such an important matter?"

Fen Xiang said: "Women in Taiwan have already acted like men."

The big servant girl couldn't help but interjected: "Isn't he afraid that you will cheat him against our master?"

Fennel bowed her head: "I don't know."

Mrs. Dai and the big maid looked at each other for another half day, it was obvious that they had never thought of such a situation at all, and they didn't know how to deal with it.It took a while before he said, "You... really want to do something for him?"

Fennel was a little panicked, hesitatingly said: "Mr. Jia said so, he must teach me something."

Seeing her appearance, Mrs. Dai calmed down, took her hand and said: "Since Mr. Jia has taken a fancy to you, he is a world-renowned talent, so he must have his reasons. You just need to help him honestly." Yes. If there is someone who doesn’t know it, it’s worth asking others for advice.”

Fenix ​​became more and more timid, and after a long while he hesitated to say: "According to Mr. Jia's words... I... I am not working in the shop, I... I want to pretend to be the master's staff, and help the master to do things on the surface. It is a special envoy sent by Mr. Jia."

Mrs. Dai wondered, "Working in the yamen?"

Fenix ​​nodded: "Mr. Jia asked me to pretend to be a man. My surname is Zhen, and Fenix ​​is ​​a woman's name, so he gave me a pseudonym Zhen Fen. He also said that he would ask Mr. to teach me how to read and change it to the master tomorrow." Let others call me Mr. Zhen."

Mrs. Dai looked her up and down for a long time: "Mr. Zhen! It's interesting." Then she looked at her face carefully - this fennel is really plain, nothing outstanding; it is her confidant.If she is by the master's side, she will be more appropriate than others.Naixi couldn't help but squeezed her hand, "What a Mr. Zhen." Fenxiang just lowered her eyebrows and didn't remind her that she was about to get out of slavery soon.

After Mrs. Dai came out of Red Bone, she happily went to the yamen to meet Dai Xian, and told him: "I said that girl looks absolutely perfect, Mr. Jia can't possibly fall in love with her."

Dai Xian saw that she was in a hurry two days ago, but she was so happy today, so she hurriedly asked what was going on.Mrs. Dai then told him everything.Dai Xian was amazed: "Jia Cong said to let that girl named Huixiang be his special envoy in Fujian?"

Mrs. Dai added: "I still have to dress up as a man and be a master in front of the master."

Dai Xian was sitting on the official hat chair, thought for a long time, and suddenly stood up.Didn't you ask me to be the governor of Fujian?What is another special envoy doing?Is this special envoy or the maid who is going from my house?After much deliberation, I don't understand what Jia Cong is playing.Li ordered the man to take out the clothes at the door, change them and leave.Mrs. Dai asked anxiously from behind: "Where are you going, master?" Dai Xian just didn't hear, and moved like flying.

Not long after, Dai Xian rushed to Hongguji and sent a message asking to see Jia Cong.The clerk went in with the post and asked around, and came out and said, "We don't have anyone named Jia Cong here." Dai Xian thought for a while, as if Jia Cong came to Red Bones as a guest, and said he met Wu Xiaoxi.The waiter said, "Master Wu is too busy. The appointments are full until the day after tomorrow. Why don't you make an appointment for the day after tomorrow?"

The servant next to Dai Xian shouted: "Bold! Don't even look at who our master is."

Dai Xian waved his hand and asked, "There is a Mr. Jia in your mansion, he is from Taiwan mansion, do you know?"

The clerk was stunned: "Mr. Jia! The one with the round face? He's a customer, not our shop."

Dai Xian said with a smile: "I came to see him."

The clerk muttered: "So I saw him, did you say that...he is so idle, I don't know if he has gone out for a stroll." Dai Xian couldn't help but laugh.After a while the waiter came back and said, "I don't know what kind of god that gentleman is. He didn't wake up until the sun came up. He just finished his breakfast. Please come with me, Mr. Dai."

Dai Xian coughed, stood up slowly, brushed off his clothes, and said with his hands behind his back, "Lead the way." The young man behind him was also proud, as if he had been promoted along with the master.

Entering the courtyard where Jia Cong lives, Jia Cong is lying on the stone table and sleepy.Dai Xian felt it was funny, and watched the guy push him a few times: "Mr. Jia, the sun is shining on your butt!"

Jia Cong closed his eyes, pointed his finger upwards, and murmured, "There is a banyan tree above, sheltered from rain and sun."

Dai Xian sat opposite him with a smile: "What did Mr. Jia do last night? Why are you so sleepy?"

Jia Cong lazily said: "It's just counting a few stars..." Suddenly he looked up and saw Dai Xian, he was startled, and hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands, "Uh, Mr. Dai, I'm sorry!"

Dai Xian laughed loudly: "The ancients said that it is true celebrities who are romantic, and Mr. Jia is well-deserved."

Jia Cong shook his head again and again, and bowed to him again: "I am ashamed to be late." Nai sat down and asked, "Aren't you supposed to be very busy all the time? Why are you free?"

Dai Xian said: "I want to ask what happened to that maid."

Jia Cong smiled slightly, took out a sign from his pocket and handed it to him.Dai Xian took a look and was shocked: the words "Jinyiwei" were engraved on it.Jia Cong said: "I still have an imperial decree, I will show it to you after I have taught this fennel."

Dai Xian was worried, and asked after a long while: "Who is Mr. Jia?"

Jia Cong blinked: "Who cares. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Fujian and Taiwan are connected. Hello, hello, hello everyone." He raised his hand again and gestured above his head.Dai Xian suddenly understood: cover the sky with one hand.I'm afraid that this guy even coaxed King Yan and the little sage together.Jia Cong looked at him and smiled, stretched out two fingers and turned the badge of Jin Yiwei on the stone table, "Since it is..." He raised his chin to the north, "The two companies are in partnership," knocked again Knocking on the waist card, "I have to put someone by your side, right? Otherwise," he winked, "how can I feel at ease?"

Dai Xian looked at him, and couldn't help laughing up to the sky, laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist.Jia Cong only looked at him with a smile, and personally sifted a cup of tea for him.Finally Dai Xian stopped laughing, picked up the tea and took a sip, then put down the cup and laughed, the tea spilled all over the table, pointing at Jia Cong speechless.Jia Cong shook his head, sifted a new cup of tea for him, and filled it up for himself; then he raised the tea cup.Dai Xian also raised his own.The two clinked glasses and drank tea instead of wine in one gulp without saying a word.

After a while of tea, Jia Cong said: "I was worried that there would be no suitable candidate, so Madam Zun sent me this fennel. By the way, you are so slow in Fuzhou. I sent her to apply for household registration yesterday. When can it be done?"

Dai Xian said: "It's easy, let's do it with my post." Nai stroked his beard and asked, "But I don't know how much official position Jin Yiwei gave her?"

Jia Cong said: "I don't know, I have to send a letter to Jingzhong to ask. No matter how old he is, Mr. Zhen is your staff anyway."

After a while, Dai Xian gave Jia Cong a thumbs up: "Mr. Jia is really a good pick!"

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Wansheng dare not take the credit, this Special Envoy Zhen was brought up by Mrs. Zun." Dai Xian laughed out loud again as if a laughing bug had caught his heart.
