Jia Cong, the God of Dancing Through the Red Mansion

Jia Cong told the story of Qu San'er, and after his father had a vigilance in his heart, he thought there was nothing wrong, but a few days later, he heard a report from his servants, saying that Jia She had taken a fancy to him somewhere. I bought an antique, but people refused to sell it. This kind of thing happened before. With Jia She's character, he just got upset for a few days, beat and scolded a few servants to vent his anger, and other things. , naturally diverted attention.

However, this time there was something unexpected. I don't know if the other party said something nasty when negotiating the deal with that person, or someone around him instigated it. It's because you don't want to give up until you get something in your hands.

Zhao Qi was afraid that something might happen, he knew that if there was anyone in this mansion who could persuade his master, it would be the third master, so he hurried over to ask him for advice.

Jia Cong was also taken aback when he heard it. One of the crimes he committed after Jia's amnesty in his memory was forcibly snatching the stone nerd's ancient fan. He asked Zhao Qi, but the other party's surname was Tan, and there were many ancient fans for it. , but an ancient sword.

That kind of thing has never attracted my father's attention, how could there be such a disturbance because of a sword I don't like?

"But who said something in front of the master?"

Zhao Qi thought for a while, and as far as he knew, no one had ever sneered at the master, so he shook his head.

Jia Cong couldn't think of any tricks, so he left someone to accompany Brother Huan and Brother Lan who came to play with him uninvited, and wanted to ask his father what was going on.

Brother Huan and Brother Lan are also well-behaved, knowing that he has something to do and don't bother him, but they are children after all, and they don't know how to look at people's faces like adults, so they take the initiative to leave and leave. Stayed in the small study, reading a book alone was quite happy.

Jia Cong looked at the two of them. It must be because they were close to him that they were able to see each other like this?Although it was a bit troublesome, but considering that the two of them were obedient and obedient, it was not unbearable!

When he arrived at Jia She's place, he was chatting with some of his disciples, and when they saw Jia Cong come in, they complimented him very much, they spoke exaggeratedly, and dared to utter any words of praise.

Jia Cong had heard too many compliments in his previous life, so he naturally didn't take these words seriously, but he didn't like such a flattering villain by his father's side.

But Jia She is more pleasing to his eyes because they are willing to praise his youngest son so much, and he always feels that these people have good vision, and they are indeed the ones he likes.

Knowing his father's thoughts, Jia Cong almost choked. This father is really worrying, so he can only secretly order Zhao Qi to ask someone to investigate these people and even catch them. Got some handles.

Only after completely grasping them in the palm of my hand can I relax!

Jia Cong saw that what they said was almost done, and winked at them. These people can use their faces and mouths to eat and drink in the mansions of high-ranking officials. Naturally, they have good eyesight. The third master had something to say to the master, so they all left obediently.

When they were all gone, Jia Cong made a cup of tea himself, and brought it to Jia Amnesty with his own hands. Seeing that he looked good, he asked inadvertently, "I heard that what kind of sword did Daddy take a fancy to?"

Hearing this Jia She was not happy, let out a cold snort from his nose, and looked at the son in front of him with a tinge of grievance in his heart, "If my father is right, it should be the famous sword Tai Ah, originally Although this thing has a great reputation, I don't have to.

But my son doesn't know how hateful the people of the Tan family are. He obviously took out the ancestral treasures and sold them for turnover because he lost all his family property, but he still dared to despise his father as a dude, and even uttered wild words and refused. Sell ​​me stuff. "

Speaking of this, he became even more angry, "It's okay, but the Wang family is so angry that they have let the Tan family sell the sword to me. I didn't expect that Wang Ziteng turned around and let me go. Someone bought the sword!"

Speaking of this, he took out a letter from the table angrily, and threw it with a clatter, "Afterwards, there was a letter, saying that Wang Ren bought it because he didn't know the words of his father. He is not in the capital now. I couldn't come to apologize in person and said a lot!

Hmph, if that's the case, why don't you just send the sword over?It's not that your father and I don't know how to pay money, this is a lie, it's really too much! "

Jia Amnesty has always been dissatisfied with his sister-in-law Mrs. Wang, and even more dissatisfied that Prince Teng has become bigger and bigger these years, and gradually dared to interfere in their Jia family's affairs, so he gritted his teeth and let his son marry the Wang family daughter again. The original idea was to make Wang Ziteng feel a little jealous in the face of his niece, so as not to fall completely to the second room.

However, it was obvious that he had made a wrong decision. The little Wang was obviously not as smart as the big Wang, and he ignored his aunt as his own mother, leaving behind his father-in-law, who should have been relied on, and followed the second room wholeheartedly. Even more obedient to the old lady.

Jia She became more and more dissatisfied with the Wang family so far, but if he followed the original trajectory, he was just such a concubine son, and he never cared about the concubine son, so no matter how unfilial their husband and wife were, he could do nothing, after all, there would be more to do in the future. Pointing to Jia Lian's pension.

But since Jia Cong came here, the weight in his heart has become heavier and heavier. Relatively speaking, Jia Lian is not so important, and he is no longer so tied up when doing things. Now he is afraid that Jia Lian will do something wrong outside. It involves myself, so I restrain myself from time to time, and I rarely care about the rest.

Jia Cong also felt a little upset when he heard this. Although his father is a dude, he didn't hinder other people's affairs, so why should he be talked about?

Especially since it was a shabby household who wanted to sell their ancestral property, and the Wang family, he didn't believe that they didn't know that Jia She had taken a fancy to that sword. If he really liked it, he would discuss it with Jia She, and then it would be fine to buy it again. Yes, but after Jia Amnesty said that he must win, he went to buy it without thinking about the affection between the in-laws, which is too contemptuous of others.

Maybe he was wrong?

He used to think that as long as his father lived the life he liked in such a chic way, it would be fine. After something happened to the Jia family, as long as his father was clean, at most it would be a matter of lax family management and cutting down the nobles, but now it seems that No, the current society is not like his previous life. Whether it is an official or a businessman, as long as he has money, he can live comfortably.

Nowadays, people are divided into three, six, and nine ranks. Now my father is holding the title of first-class general and backing the glory of the ancestors of the Rongguo Mansion. He can be looked down upon by others. If he is really deposed in the future, he will not know What a waste of life!

Making Dad unhappy is not what Jia Cong wants to see.

But Dad is really not the material to be an official, and it is not advisable to blindly participate in the royal family secretly, it is definitely because he thinks that his death is not fast enough!

So some things still need to be thought about carefully before they can be achieved...

As for the Wang family, there was nothing good to come to an end, he just wanted to let nature take its course, but he didn't expect to provoke his father, he really wanted to die!

Turning his eyes, he said, "Father, after the son's accident, except for Zhao Qi and Wang Shanbao who were beaten by you and left to serve, everyone else was sent to Zhuangzi. They must have figured out what was wrong after so long. Where is it, when do you think everyone will be transferred back?"

Seeing that Jia Amnesty was still a little upset, but it had eased a lot compared to the previous few days, he hurriedly continued to persuade, "After all, nothing happened to my son, and the punishment is too much. It may make the servants below fearful. It’s not beautiful to be persuaded by other people’s rhetoric from time to time!”

It’s fine if Jia Cong didn’t say that, but after saying that, Jia She became even more angry, “Which one of them’s life and death are not in my hands, I want to see which one dares to betray the master!”

He knew that his father would think so, but he had to remind him that, after all, that kind of thing is still very likely to happen, so now he can only continue to comfort him, "My son is just saying a possibility, that's all. The most unpredictable thing is that we can't stare at them all the time, so how do we know what they will do when they feel fear? However, that is only a possible choice, and we hold their wealth in our hands Life, and more kindness, naturally they will not be afraid of their betrayal of the Lord.

Daddy, to tell you the truth, the son not only asked them to come back to win their hearts, but also because he had something to do. "

Jia She looked at his son suspiciously, he didn't understand that there were so many people in the mansion, which of them couldn't do things, why did they have to come?

"Daddy, those who go out with our son are all our confidantes, and the whole family is with Dafang, so they are always more loyal than others. Don't worry if the son is not handled by someone who is absolutely loyal."

Although Jia Amnesty didn't understand what his son was going to do, he still nodded his head seeing his insistence, but still said, "Don't let them serve you personally in the future, even though they are loyal enough, they are not careful, if not Zhao Qi and Wang Shanbao have been their fathers since they were young, and they are both descendants of your great-grandmother who stayed with you, so I won't let them off so easily."

"My son knows, and my father asked Zhao Qi to find some proper people to investigate the second wife's affairs outside, especially the housekeeper Zhou Rui's family. I think there will be some surprises."

Jia She suddenly raised his head and looked at his son. Although he didn't understand what he meant, but seeing the sharp look in his brows and eyes, he knew that Mrs. Wang must have something to do outside. He had stayed in the mansion for dozens of years. In the past year, all I have heard are good things from that person. I really can't imagine that that person can do anything big outside, and when Mr. Qiao and Brother Cong once reminded him of the name card together, he sent someone I checked the mansion to see if they had done anything illegal with the mansion's post, but there was no result. Obviously, the second room was quite safe.

Jia Amnesty was very comforted at the time, but Jia Cong knew that it was just that Mrs. Wang was just making trouble, and she was lucky, she didn't take any life-threatening matters, and she did it secretly, so she was not caught. find out.

To say that Wang Xifeng was also unlucky, the reason why she was later exposed to take over the lawsuit was only because in the case she took over, Brother Zhang Jin committed suicide in obedience to the festival, and the man followed suit, and two people died in one fell swoop. Losing and losing both, the two families who might have hated each other and almost became enemies, suddenly turned the pain of losing their sons and daughters to her, the one who intervened, which made her unable to explain.

If those two people are not dead, the woman can marry Li Ya Nei with a higher status. The family members are happy, but they will naturally be grateful to Wang Xifeng, who is in charge of them. After venting with that Li family, Wang Xifeng got the money for nothing, but she couldn't complain at all.

It can only be said that the result of the trouble in the end was also due to her bad luck!

However, these things have never happened before. Now that Jia Cong is here, even for the sake of their wife, he will definitely not let this happen again.

Those thoughts just flashed through my mind, not even for a few breaths. Seeing that the old man still had some doubts in his eyes, he explained, "Actually, what they asked them to investigate was not entirely about the affairs outside the house, but the fact that my son got it from the servants." I heard that Zhou Rui has a son-in-law named Leng Zixing who is in the antique business.

Although there is only one storefront, there are always some good things. "

Jia Amnesty still didn't understand, but he didn't continue to ask, thinking that no matter what tricks those people have, they should just stare at them to death.

Called Zhao Qi to come in, and gave orders to check Zhourui and release him. Zhao Qi knew without thinking that these two things should be ordered by the third master.

He also heard about Zhou Rui's affairs but he didn't have any real evidence, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of his master. Now that he got the order, he naturally had to do it with all his heart.

If they are really seated, their big room will really turn around!

The matter of letting people go made him even more happy. You know, among those young children, there is his own son. He originally thought that when the master was happy, he would personally beg the master to release him. Or when the master has completely forgotten about it, he will quietly pick up his son, and it should be fine if he leaves it far away.

However, both methods are somewhat risky. The former is not good and will anger the master, while the latter is easy to give others a chance. It would be bad for someone who knows to threaten him with this matter.

Now that the third master can intercede, it would be best for the master to personally speak and let him go!

Zhao Qi obeyed and went to work.

However, Jia Cong chatted with his father about shipping. The Dajing Dynasty replaced the Song Dynasty in the history of the Central Plains, but it did not blindly share the world with the scholar-bureaucrats like the Song Dynasty in history. Generals, there are also great differences in other places. If there is one thing in common, it is the developed maritime trade!

This has made Dajing not only rich in the treasury, but also rich in the people over the years. However, it is precisely because of this that the nobles of the aristocratic families will inevitably become arrogant and extravagant, especially the Wuxun family. It is a common phenomenon that people are not as good as one generation after another. Except for a few people, they are basically similar to Jia's family.

However, this is also in line with the will of the superiors. If the family of military generals can be passed down from generation to generation, it will really have a solid foundation in the army, and it will not be tabooed by the people above. A few of them can barely control it.

If there are too many people, and they are in touch with each other, it is estimated that the person on the dragon chair will not have to sleep!

However, this has nothing to do with Jia Cong. The Jia family's relationship in the army has already been won over by Wang Ziteng in the name of his in-laws after the marriage between the Jia family and the Wang family. No one was in the army, but they voted for another family.

Nowadays, if the masters of the Jia family write a letter to ask them for some insignificant matters, maybe they can help out because of Jia Daishan's support and support, but if it involves any major matter, although they are reckless, they are not careless Yes, if you don't sell the entire Jia family, it's just nostalgia. Naturally, there are plenty of excuses to shirk!

These things were analyzed by Jia Cong from the inside and outside of Jia She's words. He also explained it carefully to his father. Whether Mu and Jia Zheng could think of this, they didn't know, and no one would tell them specifically.

Now the sea trade that Jia Cong and Jia She are talking about is the old business of the Wang family!

The ancestors of the Wang family used to be promoted by the general manager of the Shipping Department, in charge of the world's shipping. That was also the most glorious time for their family. Not only did they receive two holy orders because of this, but they also saved several lifetimes in a few years. Mountains of gold and silver.

This is also Wang Xifeng's confidence in being able to open his mouth and keep his mouth shut about the Wang family. However, although the officials of the Shibo Department in the Dajing Dynasty were rich and well-off and they were all the emperor's confidantes, their official positions were not high, and they were always promoted to the fourth rank.

People in this world naturally want power when they have money. This is why Wang Ziteng spared no effort to support his sister's performance in front of Jia's mother after the old man of the Wang family left. Disappointed, even the power in the general was handed over to Wang Ziteng and there was no reason to support his own son.

Therefore, for Wang Ziteng to have the power in the army today, Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang have made great contributions. According to the agreement of the year, he naturally wanted to support Jia Zheng a lot, but the second master of the Jia family is really a helper. Poor A Dou, the higher you climb, the worse you will fall. Wang Ziteng was afraid of being implicated by him, so he refused to put in too much effort.

However, he also feels sorry for his younger sister, who has often been tortured in front of Jia Mu these years, so he can only try his best to support Yuan Chun in the palace and treat Baoyu better, hoping to make up for one or two.

For Mrs. Wang, children are naturally more reliable than her husband. Although she still feels a little unjust because of the imperial order, she can accept Baoyu's future, and her elder brother's official position is higher than her own. She was dissatisfied with her, but she didn't dare to go too far. The old lady was afraid that Wang Ziteng would take revenge on her beloved young son!

It is also because of this that Mrs. Wang's status in her natal family is not comparable to that of Wang Xifeng, a junior. If their aunts and nephews fight, the Wang family will definitely support Mrs. Wang!

However, Jia Cong didn't know about these things. Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang kept secrets. Even Jia Amnesty only knew that the old Duke didn't want to see his son. As for the reason, he was also confused, and he couldn't figure it out , In the end, it can only be attributed to the fact that I am too useless, but after several efforts, I found that no matter how well I did it, it didn't work at all.

Seeing Jia Cong asking about shipping matters now, Jia Amnesty can really say a thing or two. When the Wang family was in the Shipping Department, the four major families organized ships to go out to sea, except for large sums of money. I don't know how many rare items outside I got!

At that time, it was Jia Daishan's mother, Jia She's grandmother, who was in charge of the house, so in addition to the storage, the old lady also got a lot of good things, most of which she left for her eldest grandson Jia She.

This is also one of the reasons why Jia's mother looked down on Jia Amnesty. With so many good things, the old man didn't leave a few for his precious Zheng'er, and the eldest son was even more unfilial, hiding a lot of good things. Well, she, a mother who gave birth to him in October, couldn't even look at him!

But I don’t want to think about it, but in front of their husband and wife, Jia Amnesty swore before his grandmother’s hospital bed that after she left, these things should be kept well. Except for the son after death, the parents can’t give anything, and the old lady too I was chilled by the daughter-in-law's cruelty towards the eldest grandson, and I always knew that although my son led troops and fought fiercely, he was the most soft-hearted when it came to women. In case they threatened his grandson to hand over things in the future, even He also asked his son to swear that he must not touch the private house she left for the child, otherwise she will not be at peace after death.

Jia Daishan really hadn't thought of that, although he felt a little sad for the old lady's eccentricity, but in order to let her go with peace of mind, he still knelt by her bed and made a poisonous oath.

This is also the reason why he never touched his private property even though he hated his eldest son extremely under the instigation of his wife.

Now Jia Cong is full of treasures left by the old lady, whole ivory, large and large gemstones, well-preserved and precious spices, and even a few luminous pearls, exquisite western Playthings, large and small coral bonsai...

"These are all things that can be stored, that's why they've been kept until now. There are still many that were replaced with gold and silver at that time, and some antique calligraphy, paintings, bonsai and jade carvings that are easy to place. There are a lot of them here, Dad." Another warehouse was opened. Let Jia Cong look at the antique calligraphy and paintings in his room, as well as several large boxes of gold and silver treasures on the ground, and he can't help being a little proud to see his son dumbfounded.

After being proud, he stroked his son's head and promised, "From now on, this mansion is supposed to belong to your elder brother, but my son doesn't have to be afraid. Daddy, these are all yours. With these, you don't have to worry about living a hard life." Already!"

Jia Cong has never worried about living a hard life, and with his ability, he can live comfortably even without these.

but? "Second Brother Lian, doesn't he know that you have these things in your hand?"

Jia She twitched the corners of her lips, "The old lady still has a headache when she thinks of so many good things in Daddy's hands, and she couldn't take away the dying words of your great-grandmother and grandfather. Some old people here only know that Daddy has some good things, but no one knows how many there are."

Jia Cong was a little confused, this old man is really stingy, just because Lian's second brother didn't get close to him, and was overwhelmed by Xiao Wang, so that he was looked down upon by others, he would rather let his son be called poor every day. Living with his daughter-in-law's dowry, he refuses to leak even a little bit through the cracks of his fingers.

I really feel sorry for this cheap brother. I believe that if he knew that his father was so rich, he would not often live in the second room and run errands for others like he does now!

However, he didn't want his father to be missed because of these external things, so these thoughts just passed in his mind for a while, and then they were thrown out after turning around.

"Then daddy can still get in touch with some old guys with the boat?"

This made Jia She a little embarrassed, he was only in his teens at the time, decades had passed, the people he knew were scattered and dead, and they hadn't seen each other for a long time, how could they be connected?

I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't think of a suitable candidate, so I could only say, "It's been too long, and I haven't contacted for a long time. How can my father remember this, but I don't know if those old family members still remember?"

After thinking for a while, he said, "Zhao Qi's father had been running to the south at that time, and now he is nursing at home, let Zhao Qi go back and call him in later, and I will help you to ask!"

Jia Cong nodded.
