The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 569

Liu Xiaoqi himself is still a teenager, Jia Cong was worried about letting him take his two children out on business.On the contrary, Tanchun said: "You are too careful. Xiaoqi has been the secret leader of S.H.I.E.L.D. Although it is a little naive, it can be regarded as well-informed. These three will be safe and sound when they arrive together."

Jia Cong snorted, "Peace is peace, but it's hard to say if you're safe. Fu'er is very courageous, and he may cause some trouble."

Gong Kun said: "There is no manpower at the moment, otherwise you can tell whoever will go."

Jia Cong thought about it for a long time, and there really was no one to send out—there was a new law to be discussed here.I had no choice but to call Dong Yu over: "Look for someone who is capable of Mingyi to take care of it; you just go to Chu to liberate Su Cheng. You are the only one here who has an idea. The two of them can't say it." Cheng'er can be added in the future, if these three mess around too much, you must stop them!"

Dong Yu thought for a while: "What if I can't stop it?"

"Find a way to stop it!"

Dong Yu looked back, Jia Gui was jumping with joy, Liu Xiaoqi smiled as if nothing had happened, and said with a wry smile: "Nephew, do your best..."

Liu Xiaoqi coughed: "What are you scaring him for? Such a small matter, and Chu State is such a small place, even if we fan up a typhoon, how big waves can it cause."

Jia Cong thought about it, and said: "You know the principle of this kind of thing."

The three of them looked at each other, and Liu Xiaoqi tentatively asked, "Wouldn't it hurt your face?"

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "How much is face worth? Because the old man Su Zheng is a good person, the principle is to let the other party regret the marriage first, understand?"

Liu Xiaoqi said with a smile: "You are really not afraid that Miss Su will always be robbed of men and get a bad reputation."

"Who cares about those people?" Jia Cong stretched, "Incompetent." The matter was settled.

Wang Xifeng heard that she was very reluctant, and knew that she couldn't stop her, so she rushed to pack seven or eight carts of luggage for Jia Gui; .On the day when she left, she led more than 80 soldiers and more than 30 servant girls out of the magistrate's yamen; Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian cried to see her go away; Liu Xiaoqi and Dong Yu each carried a small burden Wait for her at the intersection.

The chariots and horses arrived at a small house in the suburbs of Dajiala, where Jia Cong was drinking tea.Jia Gui dug out a small bundle from the car and carried it on his back, and handed over both the person and the car to Jia Cong.Jia Cong gave a few more words, and the three of them took only eight or nine soldiers from the special battalion, and ran lightly and quickly along the road to Jixianggang.Jixiang Port is a port near Dajiala. It is set up as a commercial port and there are many ships coming and going.A group of ten or so people pretended to be tourists boarded a new-style boat and went out to sea.

Nothing on the road.When I arrived in Jingzhou this day, I rented a courtyard at the Xunjian Inn.Liu Xiaoqi told the innkeeper that he was the elder brother of the two of them, and that he brought his siblings to Jingzhou to visit ancient times; the innkeeper hurriedly recommended many places of interest to him.After everyone rested for a while, Jia Gui went to Jia's horse shop in Jingzhou disguised as a token with a keepsake, Liu Xiaoqi went to visit the house of the magistrate Su, and Dong Yu went for a walk on the street to see the folk customs.

All three returned by dinner time.It turned out that Su Tao's marriage for Su Cheng was not an ordinary family.That family is a prominent local family, surnamed Deng, and now the left servant of the Ministry of Rites is a child of their family.The eldest grandson of the head of the Deng family is named Deng Ming. He has passed the high school in his last subject, and now he is a long history in front of the King of Chu, and he is extremely trusted.He is upright and upright, mature and prudent, he is simply a young version of Su Zheng.Liu Xiaoqi happened to hear Su Tao stroking his beard and saying to his wife with a smile: "This marriage, the old lady will definitely like it."

Jia Guiwen rolled his eyes: "That Grandpa Su who is surnamed Deng must like it, who doesn't like me? This kind of old man may not like it. Sister Su is marrying a husband, not adding another grandfather to herself."

Dong Yu said: "I inquired in the teahouse and tavern. The Deng family is really a good family. They are diligent and thrifty inside, but harmonious outside. The children in the family are very close. They often give porridge and charity, build bridges and roads, and marry their daughter-in-law My son is doing well, and I have never heard of bullying."

Jia Gui pouted and said, "The rules of such a family must be strict, Sister Su must suffocate to death."

Dong Yu said: "I think it's pretty good. Ms. Su grew up in Beijing, and her status can be suppressed. Then Uncle Deng sounds reliable, and he will treat her kindly."

Liu Xiaoqi frowned before she was about to speak, but Jia Gui rushed to say: "For this kind of family, most of the ladies in Beijing are good enough to marry into it, but Sister Su can't. I have corresponded with her for many years and know her temperament. Although she is transparent, But it’s unbearable.”

Dong Yu squinted at her and said, "The Deng family dares to be wronged by her? They underestimated your uncles."

Jia Gui said: "Aside from other things, she can't bear the word 'thrifty' just mentioned by you just now. Isn't her food and clothing the best in the world? She picks seafood from the West first. She chooses the clothes that come first, and she only eats top-notch dim sum in the whole capital. And she is very good at controlling her appearance. She has determined to marry the most handsome boy since she was a child. If her man is not good-looking enough, just looking at his face It can suffocate Sister Su to death."

Liu Xiaoqi smiled and said, "Men, it looks better after a long time."

Jia Gui hummed: "There are three or six or nine grades for good looks! She wants a first-class one, and in the end she only gets a second-class one, and she will be wronged to death."

Liu Xiaoqi said: "Why do I see that the things in her room are not rich and beautiful?"

Jia Gui spoke smoothly, and said, "He's not an upstart, he only buys expensive things and doesn't choose the right ones. How can a person like Sister Su pile up a room full of gold, silver and jade?" Dong Yu looked up and glanced at Liu Xiao. Seven glances.

Liu Xiaoqi thought about it: "Looking at it this way, it will be more difficult for the Deng family to voluntarily withdraw the engagement."

Jia Gui said: "Why don't you follow the method that Aunt Chen used last time, and let some sister of the King of Chu look at this Uncle Deng?"

Dong Yu shook his head: "The Deng family is eager to beg Miss Su because they don't want their eldest grandson to marry the King of Chu."

"what?"

Dong Yu took a sip of tea and told the story in detail.In the past few years, the princes of Chu State fought fiercely.Because the Deng family is rich, talented, and popular, they all want to marry with their family.Who can't find a beautiful princess?The Deng family couldn't see who could win for the time being, so they were only willing to marry them with other children, and dared not give away their eldest grandson.Anyway, he was still young, and the Deng family only found excuses to never marry him, and waited for the dust to settle.It was so easy to get the result, but the original Chu country was divided into ten vassal states.This is even more chaotic, even if it takes three to five years, it may not be possible to tell which country is strong and which country is weak.This eldest grandson is getting old again, and how can an ordinary woman be able to take care of this eldest grandson of the Deng family!

Coincidentally, there is Su Tao, the magistrate of Jingzhou. His daughter was originally engaged in a marriage in Beijing, and it was about to get married, but the fiancée was snatched away by the princess of King Yan!Mr. Deng was overjoyed: "God-sent a beautiful woman!" He hurriedly sent someone to propose.Su Tao has liked Deng Ming for many years, knowing that he is gentle and talented, so he immediately agreed.

Jia Gui supported her cheeks with a sad face and said, "Even if the Deng family repents of the marriage, Uncle Su probably won't do it."

Liu Xiaoqi happened to be sitting opposite her, and he also held his cheek and said, "Why don't I try this Deng Ming?"

"How to try?"

Liu Xiaoqi blinked: "I haven't thought about it yet."

"And!" Jia Gui turned his head away.Dong Yu glanced at Liu Xiaoqi with a half-smile, but didn't say anything.

The next day, Liu Xiaoqi went to Deng's house pretending to be a scholar.Usually Deng Ming was not at home; it happened that Su Zheng and the others were going to Jingzhou soon, and Deng Ming came back early to meet the old man.Liu Xiaoqi hadn't studied much, but he knew that Lin Daiyu was a genius, so he copied a poem by Lin Daiyu that he had read in Dajiala, wrote it on the post and sent it in.Sure enough, it didn't take long for Uncle Deng's personal bookboy to come out and respectfully invite "Seventh Master of the Yin Family" to enter.

Arriving at Uncle Deng's outer study, Liu Xiaoqi took a look—this one was full-bodied, with a square base, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a wide mouth.Although I am not as good-looking as myself, I am determined not to be ugly.And cold-eyed is a bit like Jia Xu, but he is a born loyal minister.Such an appearance, Su Zheng, Lin Hai and other old people will definitely like it.While thinking about it, he gave a deep salute: "Uncle Deng, I have admired your name for a long time, and it is thunderous."

Deng Ming hurriedly returned the salute: "Don't dare. Mr. Yin is talented, I admire you."

The two greeted each other a few times and sat down.Liu Xiaoqi said, "To be honest, the poem on the post just now was not written by late students."

Deng Ming was taken aback: "Isn't it Mister's masterpiece?"

Liu Xiaoqi said: "It's an essay written by an elder in Wansheng's family in his spare time. Wansheng doesn't have the strength to write it. If you don't borrow it and use it, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the gate of Deng's residence." Then he bowed deeply, "Return Hope Uncle Deng Haihan."

Deng Ming frowned slightly, thought for a moment and asked, "Since that's the case, why did Mr. Yin see me?"

Liu Xiaoqi said: "Wan Sheng is from the capital. I heard that Uncle Deng is engaged to that little girl from Mr. Su Zheng's family in the capital. Wan Sheng wants to catch up early and get on the line with Mr. Deng before anyone else."

Deng Ming said indifferently: "What line?"

Liu Xiaoqi said: "Then Miss Su has a recipe for chocolate in her hand, I don't know how much it is worth."

Deng Ming frowned again: "What chocolate recipe?"

"This is originally a Westerner's recipe. Miss Su read a rough idea in a Western book, and then worked out it with her friends." Liu Xiaoqi then stir-fried how Jia Cong boasted about chocolate, adding oil and vinegar, and finally He said, "Anyway, Uncle Deng is going to marry a golden mountain. Before others know it, the villain wants to connect the line first, and ask Uncle Deng to give me priority in supplying goods in the future. Everything else is easy to discuss."

Deng Ming pondered for a long time and said, "I don't know about this at all."

Liu Xiaoqi said with a smile: "If the whole country knows about it, how can it be the villain's turn? Don't those who line up at the door of your Deng's house begging to see Mr. Deng go around Jingzhou City?"

Deng Ming said: "Dare to ask Mr. Yin how he knew."

Liu Xiaoqi said: "Coincidentally, the little man's workshop also participated in Miss Su's making of this thing."

Deng Ming thought for a while, and said: "This matter is sudden, and Wansheng's fiancée has not yet returned to Jingzhou. Mr. Yin, why don't we talk about it after Wansheng understands it?"

Liu Xiaoqi nodded and said: "The villain is just here to say hello." He bowed his hands and said goodbye.

Deng Ming ordered someone to send him out of the house, and sat in his study to meditate for half a day.In the afternoon, Deng Ming waited for his grandfather to finish his nap, and then went to tell the old man about it.Mr. Deng said happily: "Your wife still has this ability?"

Deng Ming said: "Nowadays, the Nanyang cocoa tea on the market is still in short supply at such a high price. Most of the people who buy it back are cooking for women and children. According to what Mr. Yin said, this chocolate is more popular with women and children than cocoa tea."

Mr. Deng stroked his beard and said, "When I have time, I will think about food... I heard that this girl is lively, but it happens to cure your stuffy temper." Deng Ming couldn't help but blush.Mr. Deng laughed out loud.

Coincidentally, someone came in and came back at this moment: "Grandpa, grandpa, the magistrate's yamen sent a message that the carriage and horses of the old master of the Su family will enter the city at dusk today, Master Su wants to invite our old grandpa, grandpa and grandpa to have tea tomorrow .”

Mr. Deng was overjoyed, clapped his palms and smiled: "Okay! Hahaha..." Deng Ming felt a little shy, forgot about chocolates and business, and hurriedly found an excuse and ran away.Mr. Deng shouted from behind, "Put on neat clothes tomorrow—" Deng Ming pretended not to hear, and ran very fast.Liu Xiaoqi happened to hear it from the big poplar tree outside their house, and slipped away when no one was prepared.

He rushed to the inn to say hello to Jia Gui and Dong Yu, and Liu Xiaoqi patted his horse and ran away again.He had already inquired from the Su family which road the old man would enter the city from, so he patted his horse out of the city to meet him.After running for about half an hour, the convoy of the Taiping Escort was head-on, and the word "Taiping" flying high on the flagpole was very majestic.A long line of carriages filled the road, and the first two carriages were large carriages with rubber tires and four-wheel springs produced by the Taiwan government.No need to ask, the people sitting inside must be Su Zheng, Su Cheng, his grandfather and grandson.Then he took a charcoal pen and wrote a note, and threw it into the second carriage in a ball.After a while, the car curtain was lifted, revealing Su Cheng's face.Liu Xiaoqi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.Su Chengbai was alive and well, he didn't lose weight or cry, his eyes were bright and he looked at the trees on the side of the road.After watching with great interest for a long time but no one came, Su Cheng curled his lips and snorted and put down the curtain.

Liu Xiaoqi quickly ran to the front of a big tree to hide, and when the Su family's carriage passed by, it lightly landed on the roof of Su Cheng's carriage.He knew that Su Cheng was infected with Jia Cong and Jia Huan's temperament, so he didn't like to take care of maids very much.Nai Tie listened to the movement in the car, and sure enough there was only a sound of breathing, secretly happy in his heart, he raised his hand and knocked on the roof of the car.

Immediately, I heard Su Cheng shouting from inside: "Hey, it's Liu Xiaoqi, isn't it?"

Liu Xiaoqi lay on the roof of the car and said with a smile, "That's right, it's Lord Qi."

"Haha!" Su Cheng laughed inside, "I knew it! Uncle Cong won't leave me alone!"

Liu Xiaoqi twitched her lips: "You are quite at ease, didn't you go on a hunger strike?"

Su Cheng said triumphantly: "Who is on a hunger strike? I can't miss a meal!"

"what?"

"I, Su Cheng, was born to enjoy life! I wouldn't do such a stupid thing as a hunger strike." Su Cheng stretched himself in the car, "Just let the maid take out all the food. When will there be less food in my room?" Have a refreshment? Grandfather knows that I don't like that marriage, so he is naturally uneasy. He will definitely order Master Cong and Uncle Huan to help investigate. Didn't the two of them know? Now that they know, they can still do nothing Don't you care?" Su Cheng clapped his hands, "I'm a female Zhuge, aren't I?"

Liu Xiaoqi couldn't help laughing: "Yes! Miss Su is really a female Zhuge!"
