The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 990

After leaving the Chengdu Guard, the prince of Shu got on his horse and was about to leave.A man in military uniform hurried out from inside and shouted, "Wait a minute, sir!" The prince reined in the reins.The man ran up and said, "Your Majesty left in such a hurry. I have something to tell you."

Sitting on the horse, the crown prince asked, "What's the matter?"

"Minister Situ and your lord are both in Java." The man said, "Our superiors wanted to send the two of them back after the son presides over the government, but Minister Situ wanted to take your father to South America and form a royal tour group with King Zhao and King Qin. , I'm learning photography right now."

The prince was stunned for a long while, and then let out a long breath: "South America...Java is the closest to Australia. Now that I have arrived in Java, there is no reason not to go to Australia. From this point of view, I can't beat it in three or five years. What does Uncle Jia mean? Should I just take the throne?"

The man said with a smile: "Your Majesty can figure it out. Anyway, as long as your Majesty can be the lord of the Shu Kingdom, it will be cheap." The Majesty snorted and pulled his horse away.

The group went straight to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city to ask to see the Supreme King, regardless of their hard work.An old eunuch came out to meet him in person, smiling blindly.

The prince asked casually, "How is grandfather?"

"Good, great." The old eunuch said, "Today, Mr. Wang is here again."

"Huh? Who is Mr. Wang?"

The old eunuch hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, Mr. Wang doesn't know our status as the Supreme King, so please don't tell us when we meet later. The sixth old lady of the Ning family lives here." The eldest son nodded with a smile.

It turned out that not long after he came to the suburbs to recuperate, one day the Taishang Wang sat by the lake and basked in the sun.Suddenly he heard the sound of a qin in the distance, like the sound of heaven, the old man was so drunk, he hurriedly ordered someone to inquire.After a while, I found out that the player who played the piano was an old man living in seclusion here, surnamed Wang Mingfu.The Taishang Wang loved his music, and he was afraid that he would frighten others by signing up, so he falsely claimed that Ning Liu was acquainted with him.The two old men became best friends in the blink of an eye.Wang Fu loves tea, but his family is not rich.Taishang Wang naturally has never been short of good tea in his life.Wang Fusui often came to this Zhuangzi to drink tea, and when he was in a good mood, he would play two pieces of piano.The Taishang King was as relaxed and happy as a dream when he heard it.

Today Wang Fu is here again.Seeing Shizi, Menzi rushed in to report the news, and asked the old eunuch at the door to stop him.The old eunuch went in by himself and said, "Master! Great joy!"

Taishang Wang coughed twice: "What are you panicking about?"

The old eunuch wiped away his tears and said, "Uncle Xiaoyan is back!"

Taishang Wang was very pleasantly surprised: "Yan'er is back?"

"Exactly, I'm asking to see you outside."

Taishang Wang was about to stand up, but sat down quickly: "During it. Let him roll in quickly!"

Mr. Wang Fu smiled and said, "Your grandson is back? Be happy if you are happy. Why put on airs?"

Taishang Wang Chong winked at the old eunuch: "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you meet my eldest grandson." The old eunuch hurried out.

After hearing this, the prince laughed and said: "I know. I will definitely not expose his old man later."

The old eunuch smiled like a chrysanthemum: "This old servant knows that the son is the most intelligent."

The son followed the old eunuch all the way to the water pavilion, and saw her grandfather and an old man sitting at the tea table.The old man has white beard and hair, and the bones of a fairy are like a fairy, and there is a piano on the table next to him.The son came forward and kowtowed.When Taishang Wang Da saw her, tears rolled down his eyes, and he choked up for a long time and said, "Okay, okay. It's good to be back." Without saying a word, the grandpa and grandson hugged their heads and cried.

After crying for a while, the old eunuch came up to persuade him: "Master, it's a good thing that master is back."

Taishang Wang wiped away his tears, patted Shizi's head and neck with one hand and patted his chest with the other, and said, "My old bones are considered alive to see you come back." This made Shizi cry again.The old eunuch cried for a while, and then persuaded him.The two gradually stopped crying.

The Supreme King then introduced the son to recognize Wang Fu, and the son looked at him fixedly and made a bow.Wang Fu smiled and said, "Your grandfather missed you but refused to tell. He just ordered people to prepare your favorite food every day."

Taishang Wang blushed and shouted, "That's what I like to eat!"

Wang Fu said: "But you didn't eat it once!"

The prince hurriedly said: "Grandfather, I'm hungry." The Taishang Wang called for some snacks to be brought up.

Wang Fu stood up and said: "Since Brother Yan is back, my old man will not disturb your grandparents' reunion, so I will leave."

The prince also stood up and said: "I'm sorry to trouble you to stay for a while. I have a lot of things to tell my grandfather, and all of them are bad things. If you make him angry, you can help make things right." Mrs. Shangwang caught a glimpse of Tong Buye standing outside the water pavilion, his expression suddenly darkened.

Wang Fu looked at Taishang Wang and said, "That's fine."

The prince personally sent him to a small pavilion not far away.On the way, the prince said, "I don't know why Mr. Gao Mengsheng came here."

As expected, Wang Fu was Gao Mengsheng, the number one luthier in the Federation. He asked in surprise, "Your Majesty recognizes me?"

The prince said: "I have seen Mr. Gao's photo. My third uncle took a photo in the Gao Mengsheng Concert Hall and put your statue in it. Are you afraid that my grandfather will recognize it?"

"No." Gao Mengsheng said, "The Supreme King will not pay attention to the appearance of an actor."

"……makes sense."

"The Prince Regent may make grandfather feel bad, so he asked me to talk to him."

The prince snorted, "It's not that they made my grandfather mad."

Gao Mengsheng said: "Except for the things that must be done, the federal government has treated the Supreme King very humanely. I see, the old man has figured it out a lot these days." He walked to Xiaoxuan's door and said with a smile, "I wish the prince a victory." The prince cupped his hands.

Turn around and go back to the water pavilion, the snacks have been brought up.The prince smiled and ate a few pieces first.The Supreme King didn't bother either.Seeing the bottom of the plate, the old man said leisurely: "What's wrong? How is your father doing in Dacheng?"

The prince smiled wryly and said, "What a big achievement. Just now I got someone to report that he and my third uncle have gone to the Java country in Nanyang."

The Taishang said kingly: "Java and the Fang family are in the same group. Didn't your third uncle bring some special battalion from the Federation? Haven't rescued your father yet?"

The crown prince thought, the father was probably under house arrest in Java.Anyway, the third uncle has already taken the blame once, so it doesn't matter to take it one more time.Nai said: "That... was rescued a long time ago."

"What?!" Taishang Wang was overjoyed at first, seeing his grandson's hesitant to speak, it seemed that he didn't seem to be all right. "When will you be back?"

"Probably... it will take three or four years." The son bit the bullet and said, "The third uncle coaxed my father to go on a trip."

Taishang Wang was taken aback: "Huh?"

The crown prince stared at the empty snack plate: "Isn't he the foreign minister of the Federation? State visits are his duties. After leaving Dacheng, he took my father and king together to visit Zhou Xiaolan in Java, and then went to Australia to visit Huo Sheng." , and finally went to South America to meet Wei Ruoheng. By the way, King Qin and King Zhao are both traveling in South America, and Third Uncle wants to go with them."

"This..." The old man stayed silent for a long time.After a long time, he waved his hands and sighed, "Forget it. Your third uncle is very capable, and the lonely king has long been unable to control him. Tell me any bad things."

The son pondered for a long time and found it difficult to speak.The Taishang Wang didn't urge him, just sat and ate tea leisurely.After being silent for a long time, the prince gritted his teeth and said, "Grandpa still remembers that my father and king have a daughter who went to study in Dajiala."

The Taishang Wang thought that his grandson wanted to make the woman outside the pavilion his concubine, and he had already prepared several sets of reprimands in his stomach, so he was taken aback when he heard this. "Big girl? What happened to her? After all, it's your elder sister. If you need the support of your mother's family, you can't neglect it." The son opened and closed his mouth several times.The Supreme King frowned. "Could it be that she did something to damage the lintel?"

Shizi shook his head. "Grandfather, if my royal father remains childless, what should I do?"

Taishang Wang frowned, and said after a while, "Naturally, your third uncle will adopt one to him."

"Third Uncle has such a temperament, how can he be willing to give away his son, even his own brother." The eldest son bowed his head and said, "In the early years, my grandmother sent him two women to borrow seeds, and he was thrown to another courtyard to be raised for a few months quietly... .”

The veins on Taishangwang's forehead twitched, and he shouted: "Shut up!" The prince immediately shut up.Taishang Wang trembled, raised his hand to hold the teacup, but he didn't do it for a long time.The old man gasped for a few breaths, "Go out." Shizi was stunned for a moment, got up and went out.He just walked to the entrance of the water pavilion, and said too kingly, "Call Lao Wang here."

"Yes."

The prince hurried to Xiaoxuan to invite Gao Mengsheng.Gao Mengsheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, my son, it's all right." Then he entered the water pavilion alone.

The Supreme King's face was like gold paper, and when he saw him coming in, he growled: "You, did you do it on purpose?"

Gao Mengsheng was taken aback: "What is it on purpose?"

The Taishang Wang said angrily: "A few days ago you argued with me for so long, why would Hua Mulan join the army and be discovered to be a woman?"

Gao Mengsheng said: "Didn't you bring up that topic first? I just followed your words. Why, did your granddaughter just tell you the truth?" Taishang Wang was stunned.Gao Mengsheng continued, "I could tell she was a girl right away."

The Supreme King stayed for half a day. "What do you see at a glance?"

Gao Mengsheng said: "I have a grandson who is a medical student. Although I am old, I have learned from him. The skeletons of men and women are the most different. Your grandson's demeanor and manner are all masculine, with a partial skeleton. What a little girl."

It was as if the Supreme King had been struck by lightning.After a long time, Gao Mengsheng sighed: "You say every day that you don't care about these things anymore, why bother to let them go? Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You also said that there are more than 20 grandchildren, and the only eldest grandson is needed. I want to replace him Looking for an arm, you can't find it, and you can find all the moths. Since you are a grandson, isn't it a good child who can inherit the family business for you?"

The Taishang Wang's wooden and clay sculptures generally sat still, and he had already gone through the whole family in his heart.Regardless of son or grandson, no one in life or death can compare with a finger of Shizi.Nai murmured: "If he can't bear a son, wouldn't it be over if any younger brother gave him one?"

Gao Mengsheng said earnestly: "Lao Ning, think about your son. If you happen to fail to give birth to a son, which nephew would you like to give the family property to?"

The Supreme King was taken aback.send them?To be his mother's spring and autumn dream.In an instant, he understood the King of Shu's thoughts somewhat, and said in a low voice: "But she is a girl."

"Thanks to this girl, otherwise, your business would be ruined? I guess, you have planned others just now?"

Taishang Wang said dejectedly: "I've made up my mind."

"Is there?"

The Supreme King shook his head.

Gao Mengsheng said: "Just now that child can be said to be a dragon and a phoenix, you are not satisfied? If there is such a child among my children and grandchildren, I will wake up laughing from my dreams."

Taishang Wang pondered: "Old Ba is young, and he has nothing to do with the world. It seems that there is one in the house who is not yet one year old. How about taking her as a younger brother and letting her help?"

Gao Mengsheng glanced at him: "Old Ning, did you ever suspect that this grandson was a girl?"

"Never."

"Then why did she tell you all of a sudden? Isn't it okay to keep it from you until you are buried?"

The Taishang Wang patted his thigh: "That's right, why did she tell me what she is doing so well?"

Gao Mengsheng said in a low voice, "I'm telling you the truth, don't be upset. Last time you said that you had handed over the business to them two or three years ago. Even if you want to change it to someone else now, you probably won't be able to do it."

The Taishang Wang thought about it, now the court and the central government are indeed the people of their father and daughter.The second child would rather disguise his daughter as a man than adopt a nephew, and the third child is with him.No matter who else wins the Kingdom of Shu, the Federation can turn its face immediately.But it fell to the ground.

Gao Mengsheng persuaded: "Don't you like that child very much? A little girl pretends to be a man, and she has suffered a lot. If you don't love me, I will love you."

Taishang Wang sighed: "I just blame her Lao Tzu!" Nai shook his head. "They're all grown up, and they won't listen to me anymore."

Gao Mengsheng said with a smile: "Old bones, you still don't accept your old age! What did you say yesterday? Eating tea, fishing and growing flowers, everything is not on your ears. Come, come, I will play the piano with you to adjust your mood." So he got up and sat down. The piano case played a prelude.

The song is as comfortable as the clouds, as light as the breeze, far and wide, calm and clear. After listening to it, the Taishang King felt indescribably at ease.After listening to the song, the old man sighed: "Forget it, I can't control it anymore, I don't care anymore."

Gao Mengsheng smiled and said, "That's right."

The two chatted for another half day, and Gao Mengsheng asked, "Is the bad thing your granddaughter said finished?"

Taishang Wang said: "I said two. The first one... is not a bad thing. Forget it, maybe there are more, let her say it together." Then he waved and ordered the prince to come in.

The son bowed to Gao Mengsheng.Gao Mengsheng waved his hands and sighed, "You child."

The Supreme King also sighed, and said dejectedly, "Is there anything else?"

The prince said: "Yes." Gao Mengsheng hurriedly avoided it.The Supreme King snorted.The son said, "The current situation cannot be changed without changing the law. It must be changed."

After a while, the Taishang Wang said: "Do you want to join the Federation?"

The eldest son took out a newspaper from his pocket and handed it to his grandfather.It was a piece of "Kunming News", which the son bought when he returned to China and passed through Yunnan.The headlines on the newspaper's front page contained the news: Zhao's army divided into three groups and conquered Wei, Zhou and Cao in just three days, and announced that they would send troops to attack Zheng in seven days. King Zheng, please be prepared.

Taishang Wang frowned: "Just now you said that King Zhao is in South America?"

"Yes, together with the King of Qin." The son said, "The dispatch of troops this time is obviously just an excuse made by the Federation. Since the third uncle took my father and king overseas, it is obvious that he knows something important, and the treaty last time cannot be limited. Come soon Negotiate with them, and you can get some good terms."

After thinking for a long time, Taishang Wang wearily said: "Is there any more?"

The prince hesitated for a moment and said, "Not anymore."

Taishang Wang closed his eyes and waved his hands: "Go and deal with it. The lonely king is old and can't control it anymore."
