The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 556

Jia Xu led Liu Er and Fenix ​​to Mount Mali in Xiaoci County for inspection. When they met a sneaky person, they opened their mouths and asked Fenix ​​to sort them out.Jia Xu raised his eyebrows, and stood aside with his arms folded.Fennel sized this person up and asked, "Who are you?"

The man said proudly, "I am your uncle!"

Fennel said, "I don't have an uncle."

The man pointed to his nose and said, "I am your grandpa's son, so naturally your uncle!"

Fenix ​​was surprised: "My grandfather had three sons, all of whom are no longer alive."

The man hurriedly said: "My family has your grandfather's handwritten letter, you will know it after reading it. Tell me the order of Tiangang!"

Fennel wondered, "What sort of Tiangang?"

The man was stunned: "Don't you know?"

Fennel said, "I don't know!"

The man was anxious: "Why don't you know? My mother told me, you must know! Tell me quickly! When uncle becomes a high official, you must have a good dowry!"

Fennel was also in a hurry: "I really don't know the order of Tiangang!"

Jia Xu interjected: "This brother, how can the girl understand you without thinking? What's going on? Please explain carefully."

The man touched the back of his head, then looked at Jia Xu and said, "Didn't you come to our house to inquire about Mr. Zhen Deren? Do you still remember who my mother is?"

Jia Xu said, "I've never met you, and I don't know who your mother is."

The man jumped up, pointed at him and said, "Just now you said that the portrait you showed my mother is her grandfather!"

Jia Xudao: "Recently, there is only one portrait I showed to the Zuojin mountain people, and it is Mr. Zhen. It doesn't matter who your mother is."

The man choked for a moment and said, "My mother is Li Cuihua."

"Oh." Jia Xu nodded and said to Fenix, "Mr. Zhen hooked up with two widows here back then, one of them was Li Cuihua. So he has an illegitimate child?" Nai asked the man, "What's your name?"

The man raised his head: "The pseudonym is Li Zangzhu, the real name is Zhen Zangzhu!"

Jia Xu said: "Brother Zhen, if it's really after Mr. Zhen, just now you asked Miss Zhen's Tiangang order?"

Then Zhen Zangzhu was stunned: "The order of Tiangang... is to tell the emperor that the person can be a high official."

Jia Xuqi asked, "Why?"

Zhen Zangzhu glanced at him: "Don't you know? What are you doing here?"

Jia Xu said: "I'm here to find out what Zhen Deren did here. It looks like you know?"

Zhen Zangzhu looked at him again, shaking his head like a rattle: "I don't know! I don't know anything."

Jia Xu smiled and pointed to the shallow pit: "So you didn't dig this one?"

Zhen Zangzhu said loudly: "No! I don't know who dug it, the mountain is so big."

Jia Xu nodded: "Forget it, if you don't say it, don't say it. If you turn around and have a big punishment, you will naturally say it."

Zhen Zangzhu jumped up in fright: "I didn't break the law!"

Jia Xu said calmly: "I don't care if you have broken the law or not. I want to know, if you don't tell me, I will punish you severely." Nai looked at Liu Er.

Liu Er walked forward in two steps and before he could make a move, he heard Zhen Zangzhu shouting: "Why! I didn't break the law! Why!"

Jia Xu said, "Because I am an official."

Zhen Zangzhu shouted: "I can also be an official!"

"Are you an officer now?"

Zhen Zangzhu choked up: "...not for the time being."

"I'm an official now." Jia Xu said with his hands behind his back, "Whether you can become an official is open to question, and you dare to put on an official air." He shook his head at Liu Er again.

Liu Er stepped forward and picked up Zhen Zangzhu and squeezed it casually a few times, Zhen Zangzhu howled like a pig.Fennel frowned and said in a low voice, "Is he really my uncle?"

"I don't know." Jia Xu said, "You have to learn from interrogation."

Zhen Zangzhu screamed terribly, Fennel couldn't bear it a bit, and said: "It's better to ask him why there is a need for torture."

Jia Xudao: "I found out that Li Cuihua is Zhen Deren's concubine, so I went to meet her personally. She is a very ordinary widow in the mountains, smart and capable. I don't know the importance of this Zhen Zangzhu, it's obvious that his mother has spoiled her. Digging a hole on the flat ground, I don’t know that such objects are definitely not something that can be dug out by digging a hole, and I know I have no knowledge. If you ask him, he may not be willing to tell the truth. It’s better to repair it and ask Li Cuihua with him as a question. He knows There must not be as many Li Cuihua."

Fennel was silent for a while after hearing the words, and asked, "Your Excellency must know what is hidden here?"

Jia Xudao: "I don't know. I only know that it is extremely important, and it is related to the survival of the country." He looked up at Zhen Zangzhu, "It is indeed a thing that can make great achievements - whether you can become a high official is hard to say, and it is not guaranteed. It's silence." Fennel lowered her head lightly.Now Zi Zhen Zangzhu was crying loudly.Jia Xu said, "That's all." Liu Er stopped.

Zhen Zangzhu was too frightened to move, collapsed on the ground and tremblingly said: "Master, please forgive me..."

Jia Xu sneered and said, "You still want to be an official with your appearance?"

Zhen Zangzhu cried: "The villain doesn't dare anymore."

Jia Xu snorted, "Speak."

Zhen Zangzhu then recruited.He didn't know that he had a great Lao Tzu until a few days ago when Jia Xu came to his door with Zhen Deren's portrait, Li Cuihua told him about his life.

Zhen Deren met Li Cuihua who was a new widow for half a year in Malishan, and hooked up with him.Later, Li Cuihua's bead tire was secretly knotted.Li Cuihua didn't notice it yet, but Zhen Deren noticed it first.Widow pregnancy is not a good thing after all.Zhen Deren then gave Li Cuihua some money and told her to turn against him by pretending to be jealous.Another concubine of Zhen Deren came to her door again to show off her might, but Li Cuihua couldn't scold her again and again, but the concubine still refused to let her go, so she had to visit relatives elsewhere to avoid the limelight.She gave birth to her son at a relative's house and then fostered him at that relative's house, and followed Zhen Deren's words and returned to Mount Mali.

Zhen Deren then pretended to renew the old friendship with her, and coaxed the concubine to live, and the two ran to enjoy the blessings of being equal.He also told Li Cuihua that the concubine was just a cover, and he didn't want to be nice to her at all; Li Cuihua believed it.Zhen Deren named his son Cangzhu, so that Li Cuihua could have a good life, "I will be a high-ranking official in the future." Li Cuihua became more and more convinced.

Another two years later, one night, Zhen Deren took advantage of the moon to bring Li Cuihua to this mountain depression, stood on the top and pointed out: "This place buried the most important things of the emperor's family. One day in the future, our son will grow up." , the emperor also changed a new one. The new emperor will definitely send people here to find things. I have a granddaughter who knows the order of Tiangang and will follow the emperor's people. Let her tell the order, our son will definitely I can be a high official." Li Cuihua firmly remembered it.After Zhen Deren finished his work and left, Li Cuihua brought Zhen Zangzhu back, saying that she was adopted from a relative.Knowing that his son would be a high official sooner or later, he pampered him very much.She never talked about Malishan until Jia Xu came to the door with the portrait.

When Zhen Zangzhu heard this, she knew that she was about to become an official.Because Zhen Deren only pointed out to Li Cuihua this mountain, the mountain was huge, and he didn't know where the emperor wanted, so he simply set up a shed near the mountain and guarded it day and night, until one day someone brought Jia Xu over .The eyes of the mountain people are bright.Zhen Zangzhu saw Jia Xu circling around the lake several times from a long distance away, so he guessed that something was hidden by the lake.He didn't know where to look for it, and he was afraid that Jia Xu would take credit for his contribution by finding the item first, so he was so anxious that he couldn't sleep when he returned home.

Li Cuihua found out, and found a painting from the bottom of the box, claiming it was left by Zhen Deren.Zhen Zangzhu took a look, and the painting was the lake in the mountain depression. There were two rabbits sitting and lying down by the lake, not far apart.Zhen Zangzhu thought about it, and the rabbit must have hinted at the place where the thing was buried, so she took a shovel to search here.

After hearing this, Jia Xu and the others looked at each other, and Jia Xu said, "Did your mother tell you what it was?"

Zhen Zangzhu shook her head: "I only know that I can be a high official."

Jia Xu said, "I don't know if your mother has kept anything from you."

Zhen Zangzhu hurriedly said: "If the master doesn't believe it, why don't you ask her again."

Jia Xu sneered and said, "You sell my old lady quickly." Then he motioned to Liu Er to take him home.

The two of them walked in front, and Jia Xuhui followed behind.Jia Xunai asked, "Do you believe it?"

Fenxiang smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know either. Look at his appearance, these words are beyond his ability to make up. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it doesn't make sense. I really don't know the order of the heavens and don't tell me; did he ask me I will answer?"

Jia Xu smiled and said: "You must know the order of Tiangang, but I'm afraid you don't know it. It's called the order of Tiangang; or your grandfather used some method to hide it so that only you can find it. As for asking you to tell the order of this Zhen Zangzhu—I guess that Li Cuihua is thinking too much. Zhen Deren's intention is only that you know, and he didn't ask you to tell their son."

Fenix ​​didn't quite understand: "If I don't tell, how can he be an official?"

"Of course you will tell. Not to Zhen Zangzhu, but to the emperor." Jia Xu said, "Even if you don't want to tell, if they can find you, they will naturally have a way for you to tell."

Fennel frowned: "What's the matter with Zhen Zangzhu?"

Jia Xu smiled coldly: "Don't forget that you are a girl. And more than 30 years ago, no one would have thought that the late Emperor had such a long life." Fennel suddenly breathed faster.Jia Xu glanced at her and said, "The first emperor lived a long life, and the Supreme Emperor has been in office for more than ten years. If he had died seven or eight years earlier, you would only be thirteen or fourteen years old when the new king took over the government; You are too young. If the first emperor passed away early, and the people of the new emperor found you, you are still young, but Zhen Zangzhu is already a grown man. You have the order of Tiangang in your hand but you don’t know it is the order of Tiangang. There is a painting by Zhen Deren. Even if the two of you have a secret in front of the emperor, you will not be able to hide it, so you can't say that both of you have made meritorious service. But this benefit must ultimately be counted on Zhen Zangzhu's head."

After a while, Fennel sneered and said, "That's right. He's a male and an elder."

Jia Xu nodded: "As for you, it is enough to ask a good family and the government to give you a dowry."

Fen Xiang said, "Why didn't grandfather tell me everything about this uncle?"

Jia Xudao: "If he knows too much, I'm afraid he will be silenced again. A smart granddaughter, whoever marries the government has the final say, so I really don't feel at ease to find a trustworthy official's son to marry; a mountain The son raised by a peasant woman doesn’t know anything. There is really no need for the new king to kill you.”

Fennel was silent for a long time: "I was not born at that time."

Jia Xu nodded in praise and said, "Old Mr. Zhen thinks very far."

Fennel asked again: "What is the order of Tiangang?"

Jia Xu thought for a while and said, "Taoists say that there are 36 celestial gangs and 72 earth evils, which is the star of the Big Dipper. Think about it, did Mr. Zhen give you any star charts back then? Or did you see any paintings? You When I went to Zhen Yingjia's residence, did the clothes on my body have stars embroidered on them? Is it sorted...the star charts are different in four seasons, and the sorting of those star charts must also hide secrets."

Fennel smiled wryly and said, "I lost my clothes when I was a child, and I don't remember what star chart my grandfather showed me."

Jia Xu said, "Think hard about it. Since Mr. Zhen chose you, he must have shown you."

Fenix ​​thought about it carefully for a long time, then shook her head and said, "Really not. My mother doesn't know how to embroider any star maps, and the veils she embroidered for me are just ordinary flowers and plants."

"Don't worry." Jia Xu said, "Look for clues about what happened many years ago. It won't be too difficult. Your grandfather is also afraid that you will forget it. This matter will bring justice to Zhen's family and Zhen Zang Zhu's son will be successful."

Fennel wondered, "His son?"

Jia Xudao: "Zhen Deren took the risk of exterminating his family and made great contributions to the Tian family, but he was only a fourth-rank idle official, but Zhen Yingjia was able to become the president of Jinling Provincial Institute of Physical Education, why is this?"

Fennel smiled and said, "The old lady of the Zhen Mansion at the gate is the emperor's wet nurse."

Jia Xu said: "This is one reason, the other is more important. Zhen Yingjia is already considered a scholar, he has studied. Your grandfather is just a carpenter." He shook his head and said, "Scholar, farmer, businessman, 'work' is too worthless " Paused, "If Zhen Zangzhu can become an official, he can let his children and grandchildren study for the imperial examination, and all future generations will be masters."

Fen Xiang suddenly remembered what Jia Cong said that day, such as "science changes the world", and highly praised carpenters, saying that they were all "experts in structural mechanics".Fennel didn't understand what "structural mechanics" was, and he also heard that he really respected the profession of carpenter.Hearing Jia Xu's words now, he was in a panic.

They walked straight for more than an hour before arriving at Zhen Zangzhu's house, which is a small village hidden in the mountains, with only thirteen families, Zhen Zangzhu's house is in a secluded place at the west end of the village.The door was ajar, Zhen Zangzhu called "Mother" and led them in.I saw an old woman coming out of it, over fifty years old with a bright red wild flower on her head, she said with a smile, "Son, are you back?" When she first saw Liu Er, she was taken aback, "Son, You still have guests?"

Zhen Zangzhu hurriedly said: "These are the masters sent by the emperor, and this woman is my niece."

Liu Erben walked in front, Jia Xu flashed out from behind him and cupped his hands: "Aunt Li, do you still remember being an official?"

Li Cuihua was stunned for a moment, then immediately laughed: "So you are a master!"

Jia Xu nodded and said: "The last time Aunt Li asked me how Mr. Zhen Deren was doing recently, I couldn't bear to tell you. To be honest, his whole family has already been killed by gangsters."

Li Cuihua staggered and fell to the ground.Zhen Zangzhu didn't seem to see it; but Fennel stepped forward to help her.Jia Xu frowned and looked at Zhen Zangzhu and said, "Your mother fell and you didn't help her?"

Zhen Zangzhu pulled up the stool and sat down, then said casually: "She is in good health, she will be able to get up by herself immediately."
