Love of Friends in the Red Chamber

Just received the letter of appointment from BJ University, and it was a good thing to go out to study, and it was at public expense. Jia Cong couldn't help but not believe his good luck.It's the first time he's ever flown by plane at such a big age.Before that, he had never even taken a train. He went to primary school in this village; to junior high school, he rode a broken bicycle to the neighboring village; to high school, when he arrived in the county, he took a long-distance bus, which was the cheapest The fare; when he was admitted to university, it was the pallet truck from the village that transported potatoes to the provincial capital. All the way to the farmers’ market, he and his two snakeskin bags were sent to the farmer’s market in the smoke, dust and scorching sun. Looking at the conductor's eyes, I squeezed the bus all the way to find the school.

In the four years of college, he only went home twice, and in the three years of graduate school, he did not go home. At first, there was no bus fare, and later, he worked part-time to earn tuition and living expenses. Finally, he helped his tutor with scientific research projects. Stay for a few weeks.With such hard work and hard work, his tutor who was the head of the department finally helped him. After graduating from his master's degree, he stayed in school as a teaching assistant. Although the salary was not high, he stayed in the capital. classmate.

Jia Cong is a contented and happy person, and the news of the successful implementation of the work made him a phoenix man in the eyes of the people in his hometown, so after moving his simple luggage into the single dormitory for faculty and staff at BJ University, he received the first job in his life. The salary was exactly 3685 yuan, not even a fraction.The pride made him make the most extravagant move in his life. He boarded an air-conditioned long-distance bus back to his hometown and county town, enjoying the coolness all the way, and appeared in front of his parents, siblings, "Wealth is not returned to the hometown, just like clothes." Jin Ye Xing".Then three days later, with only twenty-five cents left in his pocket, he got on the pallet truck transporting potatoes from the village to Tongzhou. There, he found a college classmate who hadn't contacted him for N years and borrowed a ticket to go back to the capital. Ticket money.His first monthly salary has been thrown into the endless desires and demands of his family as if thrown into a bottomless pit.

But Jia Cong is not depressed, he does not worry about the new house promised to his parents, the refrigerated truck he promised to his younger brother, and the job opportunity promised to his younger sister. He feels that "there will be a house, a car, and everything. ".So he bought two taels of steamed buns from a street stall outside the campus with his only twenty-five cents. The spacious dormitory of [-] square meters, and the newly painted bunk beds with iron frames, feel that the future is full of hope.

When he woke up, he really wanted to wave to him.The office clerk of the department called him to inform him that the school asked to go to the south to train one person from each department during the summer vacation, and the department appointed him.Jia Cong was overjoyed, what a great trust and what a great benefit this is. For [-] days, he can eat and live, and maybe he can also visit the scenic spots... Jia Cong's good mood has been maintained until the plane.

On the plane, Jia Cong sat next to Professor Dong from the Department of Economics. Professor Dong was a middle-aged woman in her 40s who was well maintained and easy-going.However, she was not as cheerful as Jia Cong about this errand. She told Jia Cong that this was a drudgery that no one in each department was willing to take over. There were too many places for summer training. The directors of various research institutes and heads of departments are from Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, and the most popular professors are from Hong Kong, Macau and Shenzhen. Such long-term training in the Mainland is all about bullying new teaching assistants, or she just offended them. The "thorny head" of the leadership.

After hearing these words, Jia Cong blinked his eyes, feeling that the water was a bit deep, so he didn't dare to pick up the quarrel at will, and instead asked Professor Dong about a professional question - what method does he use to manage money so that he can use it for ten years? Buying a house in the Fourth Ring Road of Beijing?Professor Dong laughed so hard that she even loosened her seat belt. She told Jia Cong that with his salary level, if he had to buy a house in the capital within ten years without eating or drinking, there was only one way - to rob a bank.

Jia Cong also rubbed his head and smiled. He felt that the prospect was too far away from him, so Professor Dong's words didn't hit him too much. Soon his interest turned to the drink cart pushed by the stewardess.As a senior poor student, Jia Cong had never drank mineral water before he went to graduate school. He always thought that the kind of drink that foreigners and high-class people always hold in their hands might be delicious.It was not until after he was admitted to graduate school that his wife gave him a bottle of mineral water at his tutor's house, and he tasted this high-end drink for the first time in his life, and he couldn't believe his taste buds.He has since lost interest in mineral water.

So this time he ordered apple juice, orange juice, coke and coffee, Professor Dong was amused by him again.But after hearing the story about his mineral water, Professor Dong's smile subsided, and she took the initiative to order him another can of Tsingtao beer.So after enjoying so many drinks, Jia Cong was inevitably a little impatient. He loosened his seat belt and walked towards the tail of the plane.

It happened at that moment, and Jia Cong only heard the plane's announcement saying: "Passengers, the plane encountered a swirling airflow during the flight. Please don't leave your seat and fasten it..." Then he came out of nowhere During the turbulence, he flew towards the ceiling of the cabin. Before he lost consciousness, he could still see the terrified expression on the face of that beautiful stewardess, and... Not far away, Professor Dong also became a trapeze artist just like him. action……

Jia Cong seemed to have a strange dream. He dreamed of a little ghost, yes, a strange-looking little ghost, but he was sure that it was not an alien, because the little ghost was wearing a double-breasted black dress with a stick tied around his waist. white tape.The little ghost looked at Jia Cong, and said in a shrill voice: "You are so lucky. The fairy who was supposed to be out of her wits, but happened to be too illusory, came to find a soul and do something for her. It's you!" The little ghost paused, and then said, "And you..." Jia Cong realized that Professor Dong was standing, or floating not far away, but she lowered her head, and Jia Cong didn't know what she was thinking.The little ghost started rambling again: "It just so happens that there is one internal support and one external support, hehe, the fairy will definitely be satisfied."

Hearing the little ghost's whisper, Jia Cong was so terrified that goosebumps covered his body. He asked tremblingly, "What are you going to do with me? I have to go back to school. I have suffered so much, and I have just started to feel better." I haven't enjoyed a few days of blessings..." This time, not only is it a kid, but even Professor Dong sneered: "You just started a good life? You don't know, it's just the beginning of suffering. So you should be thankful for yourself Good luck now." The little devil also said perfunctorily: "Yes, this time sending you to a gentle and rich town, a prosperous and prosperous place, to enjoy for decades, is also to make up for your poverty in this life. But there is one thing, if you can't If the wish of the fairy is fulfilled, then one must be careful that extreme joy will turn into sorrow in an instant, and the soul will be scattered."

Jia Cong was so frightened that he couldn't speak. Professor Dong said to the little ghost: "Well, the fairy has made it clear to me, isn't it just to let Lin Daiyu have a peaceful and honorable ending after crying? I agree. It's done." The little ghost said with a grin: "Okay, okay, you are a sensible person. After the matter is completed, I will send you two to be reincarnated as human beings in a peaceful and prosperous age, and you will not follow others." After finishing speaking, with a "poof", the little ghost Disappeared.

Professor Dong raised his head and said lightly to Jia Cong: "You are really the disaster star in my life. You brought me into this misfortune for no reason, and you also got such a good job. Anyway, this is also destined, anyway, I have no children." I have no daughter, I am tired of living in this life, so I just happened to take a walk in the Dream of the Red Chamber to show my skills."

Jia Cong asked cautiously: "Professor, are we going to travel to the Dream of the Red Chamber? I heard from that little devil that Lin Daiyu should be honored and honored. What should I do?" Professor Dong laughed and said, "You do it first." You yourself, you don’t need to do anything else, just wait for me to contact you. Just a little, you remember, in the dream of the Red Chamber, everything is inferior, only reading is good, but fortunately you have no other strengths, you are very good at reading, Just go and read the book carefully."

Jia Cong said with a sad face: "But I have never read the Four Books and Five Classics, and I can't even recognize the traditional characters..." Professor Dong said impatiently: "You can learn calculus, and you can also learn the traditional characters of the Four Books and Five Classics. Well." As he spoke, Jia Cong only pushed with his hand, and Jia Cong fell into the clouds.

When Jia Cong woke up again, he found himself lying on an extremely exquisite bed, with silky brocade quilts and layers of green gauze curtains, and the hooks were in the shape of exquisite copper crane heads, swinging in the candlelight. swaying.That's right, it was candlelight. Jia Cong was taken aback by this belated recognition. He stretched out his hand to lift the curtain to confirm it, and suddenly saw the stretched out thin arm and slender fingers. , It was his own, he almost fainted from fright, and couldn't help but let out an "ah".

A middle-aged servant woman came over in response, she looked at Jia Cong worriedly, and asked happily: "The third master is awake, what's wrong with it?" Jia Cong dared not speak, and stared at the servant woman blankly.The servant woman said to herself and closed the curtain with tent hooks, and at the same time went to bring soup and medicine for Jia Cong to drink.Seeing that Jia Cong drank obediently, the servant woman was relieved, and complained: "Those unscrupulous hooves, knowing that the master is sick, ran away without any one left, and went to the front to get water, thinking The gift from the imperial concubine and concubine's concubine... The same is true for the master and wife. Even if there is a big family event, it is over there. If my son falls and hurts, I won't come to see it... My poor girl..."

Jia Cong was confused, coupled with a half-knowledge of "A Dream of Red Mansions", and finally gradually understood his situation: it turned out that he was the youngest son of the concubine of Master Jia She of Rongguo Mansion, and his name was also Jia Cong, ranking third. Known as the third master Cong, he is only 13 years old this year, and there is an older brother, the second master Lian, who is more than ten years older than him. As for the uncle, no one mentions it, and he presumably died long ago.Because Yuan Chun, the eldest daughter of the second master of the Rong Mansion, Jia Zheng, ascended the throne of imperial concubine, the whole family has been rushing to welcome the imperial concubine back home to visit relatives, and no one cared about Jia Cong. Running wildly in the Grand View Garden, the result was that the day before the imperial concubine visited her relatives, she fell from the mountain rock and fell unconscious.

Master Xi usually doesn't care much about his children, let alone such a disturbance before the imperial concubine's family visit, which almost caused a bloody disaster, it feels very unlucky, so he scolded Mrs. Xing and the people who followed, and sent the leader The mother-in-law kicked him out and invited the imperial physician to give Jia Cong a diagnosis and treatment, but she forgot about it and never even came to see him.

And Jia Cong's nominal aunt is Mrs. Xing, the wife of Mr. She's remarriage. She usually only protects herself by adhering to Jia She's will, and ignores Jia Cong. He was seriously injured and died, Jia Amnesty turned around and had to take his anger out on himself again, so he ordered someone to call in Nurse Cai, the nanny Jia Cong had kicked out a few days ago, to serve Jia Cong, and he himself I don't care, I just go to serve Jiamu and welcome the imperial concubine's Fengjia.

Nanny Cai was the dowry nanny brought over by Jia Cong's mother Lu Shi. Lu Shi was the daughter of a small family. Because her family was poor and she was born with good looks, Jia She took a fancy to her and married her as the second wife. After Jia Cong's death, she fell in love with Chi, and Lu's sickness was so sick that she entrusted Madam Cai to take care of Jia Cong on her deathbed. Therefore, Mama Cai, although she didn't have much knowledge, was loyal to protect the lord, otherwise Jia Cong It's hard to say whether it will grow up or not.

It's just that a few days ago, those women and girls who didn't like Cai Nanny spoke ill of Cai Nanny in front of Mrs. Xing, which made Mrs. Xing annoyed, so they thought that Jia Cong had grown up and didn't need a wet nurse as an excuse. Because of this, Madam Cai was forced to resign for retirement, and Jia Cong lacked reliable people around him. Something happened soon, and Mrs. Xing called Madam Cai to come in again, so as not to take responsibility for herself.

Seeing Jia Cong's injury here, Mammy Cai could listen to the sermon, lie down and take medicine. She was no longer as eccentric as before, kicking the sky and making wells. She felt both happy and sad, and hurriedly asked Jia Cong if he was hungry.Jia Cong nodded, and Mammy Cai quickly turned around and went out. After a while, a food box came in. First, there was a bowl of fragrant, white and glutinous japonica rice porridge, and then four dishes of exquisite side dishes: sesame oil mustard pie, sour bamboo shoots, small yellow croaker, and fermented glutinous rice. Poor quail, smoked pheasant breast, and a bowl of ham and cabbage soup at the end.

In Jia Cong's life, no, he had never eaten such delicious food in his previous life. He immediately sat up from the bed, ate a box of congee and vegetables on the small kang table, and then wiped his lips intently. .Cai Nanny had already served the hot towel, Jia Cong wiped his face, and heard Cai Nanny say: "Brother, eat another piece of jujube paste and yam cake? That team of heartless cooks, just go to the water." , perfunctory our house with porridge and pickles, and let my brother suffer such grievances..." Cai Mama began to wipe her tears with her sleeve.

It turns out that such a meal is just a grievance?Jia Cong was convinced that he had fallen into a honeypot.

The author has something to say: I have been silent for a long time, and I am back again.
