The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 826

Many years ago, the concubine of the King of Shu, Ding's old aunt, chose a beautiful woman from among the daughters of the fourth's staff to be her apprentice, and placed her in the courtyard next to Jia Cong's temporary residence.The apprentice learned Ding's piano skills, and wanted to attract Jia Cong's attention with his music.But at that time, Jia Cong had just started to pursue Chen Ruijin, and sang the love song of later generations with a loud voice for half a day.Then the apprentice's father was liquidated by the prince of Shu, and he himself fell into slavery.

A few years later, Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin re-entered the Kingdom of Shu, and got a girl named Ling Dang with a good memory, who happened to be the apprentice's cousin.Because of Bell's begging, the two of them also saved their family members.Shen Zhao, the father of Ling Dang, has good morals and talents, and is now the governor of Yunnan; he also arranged for his cousin Shen to enter the Wu Palace to replace the 15-year-old favorite concubine Mei Ji, who is now Wu Wangfei.After more than ten years, she still remembers the song Jia Cong sang back then.

Mrs. Guo was shocked when she saw Jia Cong's name.A few years ago, when Jia Cong became the regent of Yan, the king of Wu thought for several days and was not sure whether he wanted to be the Duke of Zhou or Wang Mang.Unexpectedly, he immediately appointed his daughter as his eldest daughter, and also worshiped a woman as his prime minister.At that time, there were no female officials in the whole country, and many people guessed that they had no objection?And he has always said that Nezha is in the lower realm, so others don't dare to act rashly.He never expected that Lin Hai's daughter was a genius, and she really became a prime minister.Then the three places in Yunnan, Guizhou and Fujian successively changed their governors.Many new strategies of the Yan State have been spread, and they seem to be absurd, but everything has been achieved, and the national strength is advancing by leaps and bounds.Wu Wang also scolded the youngest of Yan Wang's family for wanton behavior. If he hadn't killed Feng Ziying, he would never have provoked Jia Cong to lead troops to rob the court.After pondering over and over again, he finally said, "It's a good thing that the country of Wu doesn't want this person."

Just as he was thinking, Chen Ruiwen arrived.Eunuch Guo smiled and told him about the powder shop.Chen Ruiwen thought that the owner had done something to Eunuch Guo, so he hurriedly said: "These objects were originally made by women, how can I know what to do with them. The empress and the father-in-law are the ones to decide."

Eunuch Guo said: "This shop is called Hongxiang Pavilion, and it's located in the Confucius Temple."

Chen Ruiwen said: "In that case, it can be said that there is a bit of bookishness in the powder."

"Speaking of which, Master Chen recognizes the owner of this shop?" Eunuch Guo looked up at Chen Ruiwen indifferently, "This owner's name is Wu Fumao, and his brother is Eunuch Wu Shoumao."

A burst of anger suddenly surged up on Chen Ruiwen's face, and he suppressed it immediately: "When Sister She was still there, I occasionally sent Eunuch Wu out to find a subordinate official to say a few words, but I just recognized him, and now I don't know where she is. Said he had an older brother whom he had never met."

Eunuch Guo was surprised.The first few words of Chen Ruiwen, "While my sister is still there", have a bit of gnashing of teeth.Nai tentatively said: "Then... my lord, have you heard about this person's character?"

Chen Ruiwen said with a sullen face, "I'm sorry. I don't know about it at all." He paused, "Wu Shoumao is very cunning, and his brother may not be a kind person."

Eunuch Guo nodded: "So that's the case. The miscellaneous family will weigh it again." Nai changed the topic, "The miscellaneous family suddenly remembered that the regent princess of Yan Kingdom is still Master Chen's sister?"

Chen Ruiwen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head dejectedly: "I have long been disregarded as an elder brother. A mere petty official cannot be promoted, so don't mention it again."

Eunuch Guo apologized, and said: "Wu Guo is such a big event, the prince is about to die, and His Royal Highness hasn't come back yet?"

Chen Ruiwen's face turned ugly again: "The journey is long, I'm afraid the letters won't arrive."

Eunuch Guo just didn't notice, and said: "I hope the lord can make him come back." Chen Ruiwen faltered a few words indiscriminately.

There was a sudden silence in the room.After a while, Chen Ruiwen looked at the phonograph and forced a smile: "This is interesting. I have seen it in Taiwan before."

Eunuch Guo smiled and said, "This is from Wu Fumao."

Chen Ruiwen's face froze: "So his business is good."

"This song is interesting, and the miscellaneous family has never heard it. Have Master Chen heard it?"

Chen Ruiwen listened attentively, shook his head and said, "No. This song is a bit weird."

Eunuch Guo laughed and said, "It's fun to listen to it anyway." Then he said a few gossips and pretended to be sleepy.Concubine Shen and Chen Ruiwen hurriedly said goodbye.

Just as the two of them left the house, Eunuch Guo ordered his godson to go quietly to Zuiyanfang.Not long after, Chen Ruiwen got a message from the lady Hua Kui, inviting him to have a drink.Chen Ruiwen was in a bad mood, how could he not go when a beauty invited him?Immediately, he left his official duties and sent the servant back to the mansion to say "stay overnight in the yamen" and see the oiran gone.

This oiran is very skillful, complimenting her softly for half a day, persuading her to drink from one glass to the other.Coincidentally, Chen Ruiwen was feeling depressed, so he used wine to drown his sorrows, and he didn't refuse, so he became half drunk after a while.Seeing that his eyes were dim, the Huakui whispered: "My lord~~ Mr. Chen has the final say on the court now. Why didn't you bring His Highness back? Isn't he better than that kid?"

Chen Ruiwen stared and cursed: "That bastard! He only listens to his mother, and is not going to come back at all! He just asked. What can I say? He doesn't know that his father is dying?"

Hua Kui wondered: "He doesn't know? Didn't he send someone to deliver the letter?"

"Could it be possible for him to deliver the letter?" Chen Ruiwen tilted his body and patted the case, "His mother burned Wu Guo's letter as soon as she saw it, and he couldn't even see a piece of paper! It's heartbreaking! Who helped her to be a mother? Who Backing her up? She is just the concubine of the third room. Without me, she would be a concubine?"

Hua Kui gasped: Hearing what he said, Concubine Chen didn't seem to be dead?When he arrived in Dajiala, he seemed to abandon Mr. Chen.Nai tentatively said: "Ms. Chen is a person who enjoys blessings. She lives alone in Dajiala with a pair of children. How can she live well?"

Chen Ruiwen took the case again: "Isn't there a fourth girl!" Nai gritted his teeth, "Everyone is good to others, but she refuses to help me. She is my own sister!" He suddenly grabbed Hua Kui's wrist, "She It's my own sister! She didn't help me! Not only didn't she help me, but she even helped the third girl run away! What kind of hearts do they have! Aren't they afraid of being struck by lightning?!"

Hua Kui's wrist hurts, and he struggled to break free from his hand. When he saw it, there were several red marks on his snow-white wrist.Chen Ruiwen didn't pay attention at all, and cursed at several of his sisters.Oiran tried to interrupt him several times but couldn't get in.After scolding for a stick of incense, Chen Ruiwen was tired of scolding, so he picked up the jug on the desk and poured it into his mouth.The oiran took the opportunity to say: "Ms. Chen has sons and daughters in the state of Wu and is favored by the prince. Why do you want to go to the south?"

Chen Ruiwen just tilted his head up and poured the remaining wine in the jug, knocked the jug on the desk hard, and said with a smile: "She thinks the prince is old!" He shook his body a few times and fell completely drunk.The oiran pushed him for a long time without any movement, and hurriedly called the maid to help, and together they moved him to the bed.I saw a curtain on the side of the bed being lifted, and a person came out from inside, it was Eunuch Guo's godson.The oiran and the servant girl both saluted.The godson waved his hand to signal them to keep quiet, and left quietly.

The godson returned to Eunuch Guo's residence and saw that there were four more gramophones on the case.Eunuch Guo had heard all of them, all of which were popular in Wu.He also troubled Concubine Chen to listen to it, and it wasn't the one Jia Cong hummed back then, and the style of the song was normal.He also invited a businessman who had been to Dajiala to listen to Wu Fumao's phonograph.The businessman said with a smile: "Many young people in Dajiala like to listen to this kind of music, but we don't like to listen to it. People in Wu would not buy this kind of gramophone." Eunuch Guo became more and more suspicious of Jia Cong.

When the godson came back, he asked him how the other side was doing.The godson said: "Madam Chen is afraid she is still alive."

Eunuch Guo was shocked: "Not dead? What's going on?"

"Princess Yan Regent helped her to fake her death. Mr. Chen's stunning girls ignored him." The godson reported back what he saw and heard behind the curtain in detail.

Mrs. Guo was shocked and angry after listening.What surprised her was that Concubine Chen was still alive but sent someone to pretend to be dead. What made her angry was that she blocked Wu Guo from sending a letter to His Highness Eighth Highness, and she also disliked King Wu for being old.Nai thought carefully: If Chen Ruiwen and his sister-in-law are in the same group, it is better to stand up for the old man than to stand up for anyone else.Now that Lao Ba is hiding in Dajiala and will not return to China, it can be seen that the brothers and sisters of the Chen family have been divided into two battalions and have really fallen out.Jia Cong is much more suspicious than Chen Ruiwen.What's more, those crimes of the first son can't be found out in three to five years.The informer didn't know how long he had been secretly investigating.Rongguo Mansion has this ability.But he straightened his clothes and went to see the king of Wu.

King Wu lay on the bed with his eyes open.Eunuch Guo said distressedly: "My lord, why doesn't he raise a child god?"

King Wu said: "I don't dare. I'm afraid I won't be able to open my eyes after I close them." Eunuch Guo's heart ached, and he shed tears.King Wu smiled slightly, "But what did you find out?"

Eunuch Guo ordered everyone in the house to go out, knelt on the bedside alone and said, "The servant suspects Jia Cong, the regent of Yan." Then he reported the phonograph in the cosmetic shop.

"Anymore?"

"The servant made Mr. Chen drunk, and learned that Jia Cong won His Highness the Eighth Highness in the south."

"What kind of win-win method."

"Coaxed him to like Dajiala and dislike Wu. He didn't even want the status of a prince, and stayed there and refused to return to the country." Eunuch Guo didn't mention the matter of Concubine Chen. Let Jia Cong's people stop him."

Wu Wang was silent for a moment, then shouted fiercely: "What? Jia Cong stopped Chen Ruiwen's letter to Lao Ba?"

"Yes."

King Wu patted the bed and shouted, "Where's Wei Ruoheng's son? Has he returned from writing?"

Eunuch Guo thought for a while: "The Wei family...the ones staying in Wu State are Wei Ruoheng's concubine Zeng and a pair of concubine children. Wei Ruoheng's first wife Zhen went to Dajiala. The two women are not compatible. , I want to come to the Wei family...will not write back to Wu."

After a while, the King of Wu murmured: "There is also the Kingdom of Shu. Gu Na's eldest nephew only had an illegitimate son, and he was sent to Dajiala to study with his eldest daughter. The national policies of their Yan State...every policy is wrong, Every policy is wrong! Every policy is wrong!"

Eunuch Guo hurriedly said: "My lord, calm down! Don't get angry and hurt your body."

King Wu smiled wryly: "People who are dying, there is no harm in their bodies." Nai closed his eyes and panted for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Fugu King, get up." King Wu.King Wu sat on the bed and rested for a while, and suddenly opened his eyes wide, "King Fugu has gone to sit before the case." When Guo eunuch saw it, King Wu's eyes lit up instantly, and he knew clearly in his heart: I'm afraid it's just a flashback.He bowed his head in agreement, tears already rolling down his cheeks.

King Wu didn't pay attention to other things, his mind was spinning.Eunuch Guo quietly wiped his face with his sleeve, and slowly moved King Wu to the front of the case as if nothing had happened.The king of Wu ordered him to take down from the shelf a silver bowl that had been used by an eminent monk in the previous dynasty.Eunuch Guo took it and put it in front of King Wu.King Wu took out a dagger from his sleeve, and without waiting for Eunuch Guo to exclaim, he cut his left wrist fiercely.

Eunuch Guo shouted: "What is the prince doing!"

Seeing King Wu hanging his wrist on the bowl, he said with a smile, "I still have some blood in my old man." Eunuch Guo cried bitterly as he watched the blood fall into the bowl like a trickle from King Wu's hand.

After pouring out half a bowl of blood, King Wu glanced at Eunuch Guo.Eunuch Guo had already prepared a cloth scarf and hurriedly bandaged it for him.King Wu sat down and shook his right hand.Eunuch Guo presented a wolf penis as thick as a thumb.King Wu dipped his pen in his own blood and began to write the first letter.

This letter is addressed to the king of Shu.Most of the nine of their brothers died, the third was missing, and the ninth was obviously caught by Jia Cong.Except for the very unreliable King Qi, there is only one King Shu left.The second letter was addressed to Chen Wang.This was originally the heir appointed by the third child, and he was more or less capable.Then he wrote to several promising nephews and nephews, King Qin Lu, King Chu, etc.Putting down the pen and thinking for a while, he said to himself: "The Situ family is in danger. Jia Cong is very human." Gritting his teeth, he wrote again.Gradually, the blood book has filled the long case, and even the small saints in Beijing have a copy.

Eunuch Guo had already stopped crying, and carefully helped King Wu clean up the blood books.The king of Wu asked him who he hadn't written, and he answered.It has been written for more than two hours, and none of the kings of the world has pulled down.Eunuch Guo took an inventory, bowed and said, "My lord, everything is complete. Every lord's has it."

King Wu nodded: "You deliver it yourself, every letter must be delivered to them personally."

Eunuch Guo said solemnly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. The servant will hand over the protection to the princes of each family, and will never leave the hands of others."

The king of Wu looked at him and sighed: "Up to now, you are the only one who can be trusted by the lonely king." Then he took out a jade tablet from his bosom, "Take this." Eunuch Guo took it with both hands. "Go to Huiji Temple to find Monk Jianru and ask him to escort you to deliver the letter."

Eunuch Guo said loudly: "Your servant obeys!"

King Wu thought for a while: "Chen Ruiwen don't care about him. He can't even hold his own nephew. Mrs. Shen... ordered her to write to Shen Zhao, the governor of Yunnan, as soon as possible."

Eunuch Guo was puzzled: "My lord, that person is probably Jia Cong."

King Wu laughed and said: "Didn't Zhang Yuan also belong to the lonely king earlier? It's just that Jia Cong gave him an official position. If the sixth child is willing to use Shen Zhao, there is no room for Jia Cong." Nai paused and sighed. , "Zhang Yuan... is the fault of the lonely king. A small half of the world has fallen into the hands of Jia Cong. If the Situ family does not join forces, he will destroy them all."

"The slave understands."

King Wu looked at him and said, "I have entrusted the Situ family's country to you."

Eunuch Guo's eyes turned red, and he knelt down and kowtowed: "Your servant will live up to the lord's trust."

King Wu nodded: "Very good." Then he slowly leaned back in the chair, "The lonely king is tired and needs to rest for a while." He closed his eyes, but after a while he died of breath.

Eunuch Guo fell to his knees and wept silently.After a long while, he stood up and folded the blood books full of cases into his bosom, then kowtowed three times to King Wu.Fang hissed and cried loudly.
