Jia Cong, the God of Dancing Through the Red Mansion

Jia Baoyu has always been a passionate seed, although these days because of getting along with Baochai quite harmoniously, she has more or less charming thoughts.

But in his heart, he still likes Sister Lin the most. A few days ago, he was just tired of the restraint of those women, and he couldn't resist, so he didn't go there a few times.

It's all right now, when Jia's mother left the customs, she found that Baoyu had become close to Baochai, so she couldn't sit still, and personally helped him suppress Daiyu's maids and mothers.

Although those nuns were all from the Lin family, and one of them came from the palace, Mother Jia was Daiyu's grandmother and Jia Min's biological mother after all.

If they really called out, they really had to back down a little bit.

Baoyu was already very happy with this step, at least when he and Sister Lin talked in a proper manner, no one dared to babble and preach beside him.

So Baoyu has been working hard since that day when he went to Daiyu's place. Although Xichun and Tanchun often made jokes between the two of them, Daiyu was still a little tired of coping.

But with someone under the eaves, her father didn't know when she would be able to return to Beijing, so she had to endure it for the time being.

She was just helpless on her side, but Baochai was a little annoyed. She really didn't expect Baoyu to forget her so easily. The old lady had been out for three days, and Baoyu didn't take the initiative to come and see her again. Passing her once made him very frustrated. Even though the two of them were glued together the day before, he could forget himself the next day?

She knew that it was impossible for Daiyu to provoke her. Although she didn't want to speak well of her, Baochai had to admit that that person really didn't take Baoyu seriously, especially the maids and mothers around her, and even He regarded Baoyu as a scourge.

Thinking about it, the old lady must have resorted to some tricks. Thinking of this, she still couldn't help holding grudges in her heart. She had to admit that she was thinking about the person she wanted to marry. put it on yourself.

Sighing, she is a merchant woman, although she is an imperial merchant, but in the eyes of those dignitaries, there is no difference, especially her father died early, her mother is cowardly, and her brother is not up to snuff.

Therefore, she has to fight for everything she wants!

Changed into a half-worn clothes, and dressed herself brightly and dignifiedly, Baochai knew that she could no longer wait for Baoyu, so she still had to take the initiative to attack. However, after she came out, she did not go directly to Baoyu, but went to Mrs. Wang there.

She is a smart person. Although she is busy cultivating feelings with Baoyu these days, she does not neglect Mrs. Wang. From time to time, she will visit this aunt with her mother, although she is often driven to Baoyu's place after sitting for a while. But because of this, she has never lost Mrs. Wang's heart.

Now knowing that Baoyu is more unreliable than imagined, it is even more impossible for her to lose her aunt's support.

The injury on Mrs. Wang's face has healed, but her leg injury is still not fully healed, so she can only rest on the bed, although she said that no one will come over to attend to the sick.

But how could Li Wan, as a daughter-in-law, really not come, but the two had already had a rift because of the Jia Lan incident before, and now they met, and they didn't even know what to say.

Every time she saw her sticking on the bed like a wooden stake, without even the slightest smile on her face, Mrs. Wang felt her heart suffocating. She persisted for two days, and it was really uncomfortable, so she simply let her stay in her room. Li copied Buddhist scriptures and prayed for her, but did not let her come.

And because of the recent incident, he and Wang Xifeng also had a rift. This niece who can make her happy the most on weekdays, she didn't miss the old relationship at all. She only visited her a few times in a hurry, and refused to listen to her explanation.

The resolute look of not believing in her aunt made her feel even more uncomfortable. If there were not two younger sisters, Aunt Xue and Baochai, who came to chat with her from time to time to pass the time, her life would only be more difficult.

So during this period of time, I fell in love with Baochai even more. This is a good boy who is filial and well-behaved. I don’t know how much better than the sick child that the old lady likes. I made up my mind to tell Baochai to him. precious jade.

Seeing Baochai coming alone today, he smiled and asked, "Where's your wife? Why don't you see her coming?"

"My wife originally wanted to come here together, but when I arrived, my brother just sent someone back to pick up the things. She was helping to search and couldn't leave, so she sent me to accompany my aunt first."

Baochai asked someone to place a pot of orchids on the small table beside the bed, "Auntie, look, if these flowers are placed here, won't the room be more lively?"

Mrs. Wang looked at it carefully, and she was convinced, "What my son said is exactly, such a pot of flowers here is brighter, and the fragrance is also light and elegant, I smell it just right.

It's hard for you girl to think of me so much! "

"It's too polite for my aunt to say that. You are my dear aunt! Apart from my mother, you are the closest to me in this world, and even my brother can't compare.

What's the point of honoring you with a pot of flowers now? "

Seeing her niece's gentle smile and envious eyes, Mrs. Wang only felt relieved for a while, and took her hand to let her sit by the bed, "You haven't come here for a few days? But what happened? "

"It's nothing serious, it's just that I have suffered from an old illness in the past few days, so I just rested in the house for two days."

Mrs. Wang knew that although she had fire poison in her womb, because of the prescription given by the gods, she would be fine after taking two pills every time she fell ill.

To get such a prescription, it can be seen that this girl is also blessed!

Baochai sat by the bed and chatted slowly with Mrs. Wang.

The two talked enthusiastically, but Mrs. Wang always felt that today's Bao girl was a little different. Whenever Baoyu was mentioned, her little face would always be a little unnatural, and she was no longer ashamed as before.

How can you not understand seeing her like this?Something must have happened between the two children, but thinking of the tenderness of the girl, she didn't ask much.

Only after Baochai left did he call Jin Chuan over, "What did Baoyu say when he came to pay his respects this morning?"

Jin Chuan was a little puzzled why his wife asked such a question, but he still answered honestly, "I didn't say anything!"

"Go and call Xiren over, and tell her that I have something to tell her."

Jin Chuan agreed, and brought Xiren over in a short while.

Seeing her coming in, Mrs. Wang asked her warmly, and then directly ordered, "tell me about Baoyu's affairs in these few days in detail."

After hearing this, Xiren narrated the events of the past few days in detail, but he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. In the end, he just mentioned, "The old lady asked the second master to sit with Miss Lin more often when he was free. Sit down, and I also said that if Miss Lin's maids and mothers are presumptuous again, she will be the master and teach these slaves who have no masters for Mrs. Lin. At worst, they will be tied up and sent back to the Lin family. Girls are better prepared."

Mrs. Wang was naturally depressed for a while after hearing these words, and secretly cursed that this old man was always thinking of fighting against her, and the sick young man was also like that. She couldn't walk.

He was thinking about how to teach these people a lesson, but then he thought that he had lost Zhou Rui's family first, and because of this incident, he had lost a lot of servants, and even though the key to the treasury was still in his hands, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng took advantage of the time when they had no time to take care of it, and gathered a lot of power.

Now doing things by myself is not as easy as before.

After tossing and turning, he couldn't think of any good solution, so he could only find out the most stupid and most effective one for the time being. After that, he detained Baoyu in her room every day, called Baochai together, and looked at the golden boy and jade girl below, Mrs. Wang felt that she could use more of her daily meals, and the bad luck of the past few days seemed to have dissipated.

After Jia Mu heard about it, she naturally fought back, and often wanted to detain Baoyu and Daiyu alone by her side to talk, but Baochai took the initiative, and often came to pay her respects by pinching her a little bit. The one sent by the madam came out, Daiyu's little tail, Xichun, her place was very lively, but the purpose could not be achieved.

However, although Baoyu likes Daiyu, he is satisfied as long as he can see her and say a few more words, and he has never thought about being alone.

The goal was not achieved, and Baoyu and Baochai were getting better again, so Jia Mu could only use other means...

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the second room come and go, even if they hide their shame, there is not much less excitement. The difference is that they are now nestling in their own yard and not stretching out their hands.

The Dafang side is really quiet, while Jia She's place is still full of Xiaoqu'er antiques, the same old tricks that have not changed for thousands of years.

Mrs. Xing's teaching of housekeeper Yingchun has finally achieved some results. Now that Jia Cong sees this sister, he finally feels that he is not as heartless as before.

Yes, although everyone said that Yingchun was cowardly, but Jia Cong only felt that she was a little too heartless, "Flesh and blood family affection is wiped out, and human relations and reason are still hurt!", because there is no one in this world except herself. She cares about things, so she ignores everything, but if she can stay there quietly, who will she care about who lives and who dies?

It's like when the Grand View Garden was copied later, although that girl Si Qi made a big mistake, her master who grew up with her didn't say a word, could it really be said?

It's just that I'm afraid of getting into trouble!

If she was really cowardly enough to accept beating and scolding, then why did she know to go home and sue when she was unsatisfactory after marrying into the Sun family?It's just that at that time she was really forced and there was no place for peace.

But she has no ability at all, so what's the use of suing?In this era, the most important thing is the water thrown by the married daughter. No matter how unsatisfactory the daughter's life in the husband's house is, as long as the mother's family is a little stricter, it will only make people talk about it. When encountering unreasonable ones, it will aggravate the daughter's situation. .

Not to mention that she was just a concubine who didn't get close to her parents, and she didn't even pay her respects, so why did she ask Jia She to help him?

However, these are all things in the original book. The current Red Mansion has already changed its appearance because of Jia Cong's arrival, and it will only change more and more in the future. At least Yingchun will not marry into the Sun family again. Marriage is really not good.

Now Jia Cong sees Yingchun and feels that she finally has a little popularity, and finally has a little responsibility in some small things. Although the changes are still subtle, it is better than nothing, and the hard shell has been smashed open. Small pieces, then the speed of disintegration will only become faster and faster.

The days flew by as Jia Cong, Jia Lan and Jia Huan studied and practiced martial arts together.

On this day, Mr. Qiao had just assigned the homework to be done after school, and announced how many people could go home after school.

Over there, his little one, Ah San (Jia Cong has twelve little ones, because he was too lazy to choose a name, so Ah Da, Ah Er... Eleven, Twelve are lined up like this!) came in and said something in his ear. , "Master, please ask the third master to go over!"

He thought something happened, he hurriedly cleaned up the study room, and after saying goodbye to his husband, he hurried out. Jia Lan and Jia Huan called him from behind, but he just waved his hands at them without turning his head. one time.

When he got to Jia Amnesty's study, he found several people standing inside, Zhao Qi was standing beside an old man.

Jia Cong took a closer look and found that although this man was a bit older, he was somewhat similar to Zhao Qi.

They should be relatives, and suddenly thought that a few months ago, the old man of the Zhao family went to find someone who understood maritime affairs for him, and then looked at the two men in their thirties standing next to him. Black and red, black and red, it should have gone out to sea with a boat.

Jia Cong was overjoyed, he entered the door and greeted Jia Amnesty, then sat down on the seat next to him, and received the greetings from the following people, and after hearing the introduction, he guessed correctly.

He asked the servants to move three chairs and let a few people sit down.

Only then did I slowly chat with a few people, in fact, mainly to listen to the two big men talk about their experience of going to sea.

Both of these two families have gone to sea for generations. When they were half-grown, they boarded the boat with their father and grandfather, but they were all ordinary crew members, and they only earned a little hard money. This time, they can come to see the capital with Mr. Zhao. The prosperity of the city is also thanks to the blessings of the parents.

Mr. Zhao couldn't find the person who approached him back then, but because he often ran there back then, he had met the elders of these two people, and the other party had helped him a little, so in order not to be empty-handed, he simply sent People will bring it.

Both of them are surnamed Qi, they don't have proper names, they are only ranked by family, one is called Qi Da, and the other is called Qi Wu.

This Qi Da is a bit of a simple and honest person, and he doesn't talk much, but Qi Wu is quick-spoken, he was a little nervous at first, but after a while, the spittle was flying around.

Fortunately, Jia Cong and his son were far away from them, so they were not tortured.

Jia Cong sat there and listened to him telling overseas stories like a book. At first, it was better. Hearing the skin color and living habits of overseas people, because he knew more or less before, he was not too surprised.

But later on, Na Qi Wu became more and more excited as he talked, especially the sentence "The eyes are green, the head is covered with long yellow hair, he is so tall, his arms are so thick, and his thighs are so thick." This way, the whole body is covered with two pieces of animal skins, and the upper body is covered with hair, but the body is covered with hair..." He gestured while talking, but the degree of exaggeration, brother, are you sure what you said? People from overseas, not the little demon in Journey to the West?

Jia Cong was so amused by his exaggerated tone that he just wanted to laugh, but Jia Amnesty, Zhao Qi, and even the little Yaoer who followed him, and the servants who brought tea and water back and forth, were all very excited. That surprised look couldn't be hidden, there was a hint of envy and admiration in the look towards Qi Wu?

"Besides, those people eat raw meat... Then Xue Linlin put a big piece in his mouth and chewed it. After eating, his mouth was full of blood... Some people said that they still eat people... But I've never seen it, and I don't know if it's true or not..."

Hearing that the people here no longer looked at him with envy, they couldn't help but tremble a bit, and looked at him full of sympathy, as if you were so lucky that you didn't get eaten!

"There are big fish in that sea, bigger than a sea boat..." Looking at the confused eyes of the people around, I remembered that no one in the capital had ever seen a sea boat, and scratched their heads for a long time without describing the sea boat. The majesty of the ship suddenly caught sight of the yard, and then the eyes lit up, "That big ship is even bigger than this yard!"

The words were full of certainty, but they shocked a lot of people. They couldn't understand how such a big boat floated on the water. They wanted to ask, but Na Qi Wu had already continued talking.

"The fish can spray water on its back, and it sprays high. It looks very beautiful from a distance, but when it swims close, it is very dangerous. When it flicks its tail, our boat shakes wildly, and it hits its head..."

"The most dangerous thing is the tsunami. If you get caught in it, you can't escape no matter what you do..."

Qi Wu talked about it until it was getting dark. At this time, there were already many people standing inside and outside the house, and they all heard the news and came to listen to the story.

One of the maids was actually sent by Mrs. Xing to invite Jia Amnesty, Jia Cong and his son to have dinner, and she was so fascinated by what she heard, she forgot all the serious errands.

Mrs. Xing waited there, the father and son did not come, and the girl who sent the message disappeared, so she had to send someone over again, but the girl was pushed from behind by the person who came behind, and when she turned around, she saw that she was an acquaintance. Then I remembered that I still had an errand on my body.

The little face turned pale with fright at the time, and she couldn't care less about being stared at. She just grabbed the sleeve of the girl who came later, "Sister, sister..." and begged for mercy. He waved his hand and quietly walked to Jia Cong's side, "Master, Madam is waiting for you to have dinner with Master!"

It was only then that Jia Cong noticed that the sky had darkened. He looked at the old man who was listening to him with his mouth wide open unconsciously. I'm tired of thinking about it, butler Zhao, arrange a good table for these two, and then accompany them to drink a few cups, the old man will also stay, and stay in the guest room at night, so don't go back."

Jia Amnesty still couldn't get enough of what he heard, but seeing that it was getting dark, he had no choice but to give up. Hearing his son's arrangement, he felt very satisfied, so he asked Zhao Qi to go down to arrange it.

To be honest, Qi Wu had already said that his mouth was parched. Although there was a cup of tea at hand, and someone would refill it after drinking, he didn't dare to drink as much as he wanted, thinking in his heart, this is not enough Know when to leave, in case you can't hold back your urine, it's not good if you make a fool of yourself.

Therefore, I am very grateful to this young master for letting them out now. I also heard from Mr. Zhao that this young master has something to do with them. Although it is strange that he can have something at such a young age, he still Take heart.

In the next few days, the brothers of the Qi family seemed to be the two most welcome guests in the mansion. Everyone who had nothing to do would gather around them to listen to their storytelling, even Jia She could not get tired of it.

Jia Cong, on the other hand, used all his free time to get to know the two of them in detail, such as sea ships, ocean currents, and goods from neighboring countries. But he is careless. Although Qi Da has some ideas, he is not a bad person.

Generally speaking, there should be no problem entrusting things to them!

On this day, Jia Cong got up early, and after the morning exercise, he called Qi Da and Qi Wu over. Of course, Mr. Zhao still accompanied him all the way.

Jia Cong didn't go around in circles, "I found you this time. I don't have any other purpose. I just want to ask if you have brought back some food seeds from other countries when you went to sea."

"What kind of seed is the young master talking about?" It was Qi Da who spoke. Although he was simple and honest, he was always the one who made the decisions between the two brothers.

"All kinds, as long as you can eat and use it!"

After thinking about it, I still took out a pen and paper and drew pictures of many crops that I often ate in my previous life, but I had never seen or even heard of them after I came here.

He has great painting skills, not only similar in shape, but also full of charm. I believe that even if these things are slightly different from those of later generations, as long as two people see them, they will definitely recognize them.

In fact, all he is doing now is just to find something for his father. After thinking for a long time, finding some new crops to plant should be the least energy-intensive thing for him. After all, as long as he arranges a farm, the seeds After coming over, just find a few people who understand farming to toss.

If some good seed is produced, it will be a great achievement, and it may benefit Qianqiu. At that time, who will dare to look down on the old man and call him a dude!

The only fly in the ointment is that the current timeline is still too early, and no one has discovered the American continent yet, so potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and tomatoes are not even thought about.

However, there is another case. Although Columbus is known as the first person to discover the New World, who knows how credible this statement is?

The most prosperous period of China's navigation was the Song Dynasty, and this big scene that replaced the gift was not far behind in this respect, but China's maritime trade has always been exclusive to merchants, the scholar-bureaucrat class and the families of the powerful, although there are many privately. More or less involved.

But on the bright side, they are all clear, saving people from being ridiculed. In this case, even if someone discovers a new continent or a new type of food, on the one hand, they will not pay attention to it, and on the other hand, they will not pay attention to it. How to make a gimmick like dedicated to the queen, and make this kind of thing known to the whole world.

Therefore, even out of pride in the era that should have appeared in this time period in real history, Jia Cong firmly believed that some of the many ships should have been to that new continent, but there was no evidence left !

Therefore, Jia Cong said to Qi Da and Qi Wu, "These crops should all be edible, but they are not necessarily distributed. I just need you two to bring me the seeds."

As he spoke, he divided the paper into two parts. There were only five sheets in one part. In addition to the four kinds of food mentioned above, there was another one that was painted on cotton. "If the two big brothers can help me find these five kinds of crops , and brought back enough seeds, each little brother can give a thousand taels of silver, of course this is just a thank you gift for the two of you, if you bring the person you found, the little brother will naturally have another gift."

The two of them are not young anymore. Listening to Jia Cong's elder brother and younger brother shouting there, although they felt a little funny in their hearts, they were also a little moved. Such a young master from a well-behaved prince's family is willing to say When they called out big brother, no one would believe it!

Later, when he heard that he opened his mouth to say a thousand taels of silver, he couldn’t close his mouth in surprise. Although Haimao makes money, he is not talking about coolies like them. They usually earn barely enough for such a strong laborer. The family eats and drinks, and the only advantage is that in case of shipwreck, the pension will be more than others, but no family will be willing to get this kind of money.

He was a little excited at the moment, and Qi Wu was even a little impatient, pointing to the pile and couldn't help asking, "Third Master, what about these?"

Jia Cong looked at his nervous look, and said with some hesitation on purpose, "Is this 100 taels of silver?!"

That Qi Wugu swallowed his saliva, but he became excited. He had seen some things in it when he was abroad, but he felt that the taste was good, so although he tasted it, he didn't really care about it. Now Will there be a lot of money if you bring it back?

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became. I looked at Qi Da and saw that his face was also a little excited, so I knew that this business was done!

Every time people like them go out to sea and watch others make a fortune, how can they not be indifferent, but firstly, the management is strict, and the crew cannot bring more things, especially valuables; secondly, they have no capital, those expensive Can't afford anything.

Now it's fine, this kind of seed is cheap and tight, and unlike those valuables, no one cares about how much these things want to bring, this is what makes them happiest.

After Qi Da got excited, he expressed his opinion to Jia Cong, "Don't worry, third master, we will definitely bring you as many things as possible, even if our brother's strength is limited, we will let you know the news. But there are many people who are looking for it, and there will always be someone who has seen it.”

Jia Cong nodded, that's what he wanted, but he didn't forget to add, "It's not here, as long as you haven't seen it in our big scene on weekdays, you can bring the seeds back, even if it doesn't fit Heart, I will not lose your money. Well, not only crops, but also plants with special functions."

The brothers of the Qi family nodded together, looking very excited.

Jia Cong asked for another 200 taels of silver to be given to them, which was the hard work of letting them travel to the capital. Seeing his generosity, the two brothers even lost their last doubts.

Watching Jia Cong leave, Mr. Zhao said to the two of them, "Hurry up and put away your little thoughts, our third master is the master's heart, and any decoration in the house is valuable. How can I care about your little money!"

Qi Da honestly rubbed his head, a little embarrassed, "Don't be annoyed, old man, it's all because of our ignorance, how can we see such a big doll who can be the master of the house!"

Mr. Zhao couldn't help being a little proud when he heard this, "There are many you haven't seen. Our third master is a Wenqu star descending to earth, so he has good knowledge. Don't say anything else, just look at the few paintings in your hands. These are three Master's handwriting. No matter how many young and old men in the capital are rushing to spend money, they can't buy it."

The old man kept putting gold on the face of his third master, but the brothers of the Qi family believed it. Not to mention anything else, the painting in their hands was really good. Although it was just a few plants or fruits, it was fresh and beautiful. It looks like a living thing, let them two people who don't know how to paint know that this is a good thing!

In addition to admiration, he made up his mind to find all the things on these papers so that he would not be ashamed of his trust in the third master.

No matter what they think, Jia Cong has put this matter to the back of his mind now. Whether this matter succeeds or not, he will not be too sad. Left is just an attempt. It really won't work. Wait for yourself If it is bigger, it would be nice to get a fleet to go to sea by yourself.

Hey, it's still too young to say it!

Originally, I wanted to try to take the children's exam this year, but I didn't want to be suppressed by Mr. Qiao and my father at the same time.

However, the reasons for the two are different. Mr. Qiao is because he is still young. Although there are not no children who have participated in the children's examination at this time, it is of no use to pass the examination. Apart from the title of "child prodigy", is it possible that he is still a child? Can you continue to take the examination of scholar, or even Juren?

I'm too young, it's unrealistic to continue the exam, so I'd better stay dormant for now, and when the time is right, I'll be able to make a big splash!

Jia Amnesty, however, thought that it was useless for the hard work of the boy students, and that he would just donate a supervisor to take the Juren exam. Why did his son suffer so much?

Mr. Qiao's lips trembled when he said something straightforward, and the ruler in his hand was tightly squeezed. Jia Cong was a little worried while watching. What can I do if I beat my father?

However, his father didn't notice Mr. Qiao's abnormality at all, and he was so proud that he wanted to say something. Jia Cong was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he quickly grabbed his arm, and hurriedly bowed to Mr. Qiao.

Then drag people out!
