The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

After returning from Nan'an Palace, Mrs. Wang wiped her tears on the wall, but Jia Zheng could only sigh.

General Baoyu heard that his elder sister was out of the palace and wanted to see her, so he asked Jia's mother to force her to press her down, and said, "Your mother and I just went together today. She is not of high status, so how can she always have her mother's family?" Go see her? You are still a man, how can you just run to the backyard of the palace?"

Baoyu wept and said: "How can there be no reason why younger brothers are not allowed to visit older sisters? Even the palace can't deceive people like this."

Jia Mu persuaded: "You are a good student, and you will win the first prize in the future. Your sister will be better off in that mansion."

Baoyu started to freeze, and Jia Mu was so frightened that she clapped and shouted.Baoyu murmured suddenly: "Sure enough, among the brothers outside the family, I am the only one who is ignorant. I don't care that my sister is serving tea and drinking water with others, and serving as a slave." The mother hurriedly called for someone to follow Haosheng to serve.Baoyu then worked harder and did not mention it.

Mother Jia also wiped away her tears, and thought about it for a long time. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that what the eldest granddaughter said was reasonable.The eldest son is probably a secretive person, with an absurd appearance on the surface, but in fact he has some skills.Can't help secretly regretting that he was too partial in his early years, but luckily he didn't dare to be too arrogant.The next day he opened the private treasury, took out two rare antiques and ordered them to be delivered to Jia Amnesty.

A while ago, Jia Cong angrily scolded Yuanyang for turning his father's face against Jia's mother. Recently, Jia Amnesty didn't even bother to go through the motions. Suddenly, it was reported that Jia's mother had rewarded him with two good things, but Monk Zhang Er was puzzled.He didn't bother to think about it, knowing that Gong Kun often lived in a room in Lixiangyuan, so he went for a walk alone to find him.

Pear Fragrance Court does not close its doors during the day, but only conceals them.Jia Amnesty pushed open the door to have a look, and was stunned.

I saw many desks neatly lined up in the hall, and a group of children sitting beside them, holding books in their hands, it was like a school.Gong Kun sat on it with his legs crossed while making tea, probably a teacher.Jia Amnesty couldn't help feeling relieved: "Okay!"

At this moment, some people also saw him, and they all came up to greet him, shouting: "Hello, General!" "Da An, General!"

Jia She smiled and asked what books they were studying, and the children showed them to him.Some read the Book of Songs, some read the Analects of Confucius, some read the Records of the Historian, some read the Warring States Policy, some have the creation of nature, the Sun Tzu's Art of War, and the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic, all kinds of miscellaneous.

Knowing that Jia Cong went to Su Zheng's house today, Jia Amnesty asked, "Mr. Xiao Gong, why didn't these table cases be set up in this hall when I came to see it?"

Gong Kun smiled and said: "We just moved here at that time, and we haven't bought these yet." Because he ordered the children to continue their studies, he personally led Jia She for a walk.

Only Jia Cong, Gong Kun, and Yao'er occupied one room in this courtyard, and the two small side rooms were given to the girl next to Jia Cong.The rest of the boys share a room with four people. The beds are very strange. They have two layers. There is an extra layer on top of the bedposts, and there are ladders to climb up.Gong Kun said: "Three masters specially hired a carpenter to make these beds, and it's the first time I've seen the students. There are four children in each room, and every two of them read the same books."

Jia Amnesty asked, "Read the same book? What do you mean?"

Gong Kun said: "There are those that focus on the art of war, those that focus on the law of punishment, those that focus on arithmetic, and those that focus on farming... Anyway, the students look at it, and the six parts are complete."

Jia She looked up at him.

Gong Kun smiled and said, "But I don't know if the students and Wei Sihuan'er can make up three provinces."

Jia She was silent for a long time, and asked: "Did Cong'er say anything?"

Gong Kun said: "The third master only said that everyone should learn literature and martial arts well, and if they have the ability, they will not be afraid of anything."

After a long silence, Jia Amnesty breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Is he still short of money?"

Gong Kun said: "Fortunately, the money is quite abundant."

Jia She said: "If one day... If one day he doesn't have enough money, you can just come and find me."

Gong Kun said with a smile: "If that day comes, the third master will go find the general himself."

Jia Amnesty nodded, and Gong Kun led him out again into the two large rooms on the east side.I saw that it was full of books, in various colors, and there were many sticks stuck in them.

Gong Kun said: "The third master said that these two rooms can only be called libraries, and they are set up according to the bookstores of the Imperial Academy. In the future, we will have a big house and a lot of books, so we can open a library."

Jia She stroked his beard and said, "I went to the Imperial Academy once, and it opened my eyes." Yin asked again, "What are those in the yard outside? I just saw a small plum blossom pile..." He couldn't help laughing , "How can there be a plum blossom pile in this yard? The square inch of the place can't even use the body shape."

Gong Kun said: "Those are all custom-made by the third master. They are used to practice martial arts on weekdays. In addition to the plum blossom piles, there are single-plank bridges, vertical ladders, and horizontal ladders. There are also some dumbbells for lifting strength. The one that is taller than the pole is called a vault. Sanye said, our place is too small. There should be high walls and low walls, horizontal bars and parallel bars, cross piles, low pile nets, and high board diving platforms. And these things are too small now , you must make a set of normal size in the future, so that it will be suitable for use.”

Jia She frowned and said, "What are these? Why have I never seen them before?"

Gong Kun said: "I haven't seen it either. I haven't seen many things that the third master said. I'm afraid it was taught by his master."

Jia She sighed: "I don't know half of it. Forget it, this posture is quite decent." He thought for a while, "The mansion in the south of the city is very big, let him do whatever he wants."

Gong Kun said, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

Jia Amnesty turned to look at him: "Huh?"

Gong Kun said: "The third master is still young, it is always inconvenient for the master to entrust the mansion to him to do whatever he wants. If the second master finds out, he might not be happy."

Jia She said: "How many times has he been there? Besides, can he convince the crowd with his slender arms and legs? This group is all soldiers and bandits."

Gong Kun smiled wryly and said, "That's the way it is said, the elders and the younger are always in order..."

Jia Amnesty waved his hand and said, "That's it." Because he turned and walked out, he walked a few steps and came back, saying, "I almost forgot, I have something to ask you."

Gong Kun hurriedly asked what was the matter.

Jia She said: "The old lady sent two antiques over early in the morning, saying that they were given to me for appreciation. Your third master used my name to add trouble to her a while ago, and I didn't describe it afterward. You think about it, what does she mean?"

Gong Kun thought for a while, and sighed: "The third master said a few days ago that all the girls in Jia's family are smart, and the eldest girl would not be stupid. Looking at it now, I am afraid it is true. Yesterday the old lady I went to Nan'an Prince's Mansion to visit the eldest girl, I am afraid that the eldest girl heard the old lady and the second wife talk about the situation in the mansion, and concluded that the situation of the second house is over, so she asked the old lady to show her favor to the general."

Jia She thought it was true, Yuan Chun's girl was very clever since she was a child, so she snorted, "I just came here to show my friend, what did I do earlier?"

Gong Kun smiled and said: "Since the old lady has set up a ladder for the general, why not let the general go down."

Jia She said: "It's no good if you go down, and there's no harm if you don't go down. What are you going to do?"

Gong Kun said: "Because the sage loves to watch the infighting in the courtier's family, it is inconvenient for the general to drive out the political master in recent years, and it is also inconvenient for the old matriarch."

Jia She said: "I know, that's why I really showed him the internal struggle, right?"

Gong Kun said: "Sooner or later, the third master will have to do some illegal things. We are in the same house. If there is a backstabbing..."

Jia Amnesty gasped.

Gong Kun said: "Why are you disturbing the old lady's heart?"

After a while, Jia She sighed, "You're right. Forget it, I'll go back and thank her."

Gong Kun laughed again: "General Bao Buqi can get some more antiques to enjoy."

Jia She proudly picked up his beard and said, "I am not short of such an idea now." Because he left with his hands behind his back, Gong Kungong sent him to the gate of Lixiangyuan.

Jia She then really went to Jia Mu's place to greet and thank him. Jia Mu took him by the hand and said good things for a long time. He also said some nasty things, and it took him a long time to find an excuse to resign.Once outside the door, Jia She looked up to the sky and took a long breath, cursing: "Stinky boy, if it wasn't for you, why would you have been depressed for so long."

That night, Jia Amnesty sent people to Lixiangyuan to ask Jia Cong if he wanted to order his messy things to be placed in the mansion in the south of the city. Jia Cong smiled and said, "Since Dad is willing to provide the place, is he willing to pay for it?"

After hearing the reply, Jia Amnesty said angrily, "It's only a few dollars, let him pay for it himself!"

Jia Cong had no choice but to mutter: "Isn't it cheap?" He had to take out the drawings he had drawn earlier and send them to the carpenter and blacksmith to copy a set of obstacle training equipment used by the army in his previous life.Fortunately, the martial arts arena over there is huge, and it is enough to separate it with a fence.

The day after giving out the drawings, Jia Cong began to lead the children of Lixiangyuan for a long-distance run.Because they didn't want to disturb too many people, they only ran inside Jia's mansion, which attracted many girls to look at them.

On this day, the training equipment in the mansion in the south of the city was finally set up. Jia Amnesty gathered more than 80 men and even women who knew martial arts from various families, and watched Jia Cong demonstrate how to use these things.

He had only demonstrated once, and Gong Sanyi's jaw almost dropped.After being stunned for a long time, he shouted: "This is for training soldiers!"

Jia Cong nodded: "That's right, it's for military training."

Gong San also looked at Jia Cong again, his eyes changed. "Who taught you?"

Jia Cong recalled that when he was training in the university in his previous life, the instructor's surname was Sun, so he said, "It's Mr. Sun in the army."

Jia Amnesty hurriedly asked, "Are you in the army? Where do you live now?"

Jia Cong shook his head and said: "Back then he was just a centurion, and now I can't find them. I have only seen these things a few times, and they are all made according to gourd paintings. I don't know if they are right. For a while, let’s see if we need to change it again.”

Gong San also shook his head again and again, regretfully saying: "This is the one who knows how to train soldiers. It's okay to be a general, but to be lost in the crowd, lamentable, lamentable! The court doesn't know people!" Yin said to Jia She, "These things are too It’s too big, it’s not easy to store it elsewhere, and it’s inconvenient for outsiders to see. Now temporarily erect the fence higher, and then transplant some trees that are easy to feed. If outsiders come by occasionally, don’t let them see this end.”

Jia She said: "Don't let outsiders in. Here we are the only ones practicing martial arts. Why let others in."

Everyone agreed.So I tried them one by one.At first I thought it was fun, and it was easier said than done.Jia Cong laughed and said, "It's not easy to go back and forth a few more times to be sure." Yin then said to Jia Amnesty, "Lord Sun was wearing a kind of camouflage uniform that day, which is very interesting. He said that it is not easy for the enemy to wear that clothes in the wild. aware."

Jia Amnesty hurriedly said, "What does it look like? Do you remember?"

Jia Cong said: "I roughly remember, I'll go back and become popular. Try to do something."

Jia She glanced at him a few times: "Is there anything else you want? Say it together."

Jia Cong said with a flattering smile, "Does Dad give you all the money?"

Jia Amnesty glared at him and said, "Quickly say it!"

Jia Cong said: "I can't finish talking for a while and I can't explain clearly. I will write each one to Dad."

Jia Amnesty snorted, turned and went to the study.Gong Sanyi, Gong Kun, Jia Siyaoer and others naturally followed, and the younger ones continued to climb the horizontal ladder of the single-plank bridge to play.

In the study, Jia Cong thought for a long time while biting the brush holder, and finally took out the charcoal pencil that he carried with him, drew a telescope and schematic diagram, and said: "This must be very expensive, so we can't do more. Because I don't have a transparent one in the imperial court. Glass can only be ground with crystal."

Jia Amnesty couldn't understand it at all!Cursed: "It's a mess! What the hell."

Yao'er laughed beside him and said, "Look at this sectional view, it seems to be the two convex lenses you mentioned a few days ago?"

Jia Cong said: "Well, in fact, Westerners made this 200 years ago, calling it a telescope. It seems that there are also marine merchants who sell it to us, but very few. I only know a rough idea. If I can find one or two Just a real thing."

Jia Amnesty asked, "What is the use of this thing?"

Jia Cong said: "Put it in front of your eyes, you can see the scenery of people far away very clearly, and it is easy to spy on the opportunity when fighting."

Gong San was also so excited that his voice trembled: "If it really has such uses, no matter how expensive it is, it will be worth it."

Jia She said: "Forget it, since this is the case, let someone do it."

Jia Cong said: "It may not be possible to make it in a short time. This seems to be extremely difficult. Why don't you go out and find a sea merchant to buy it, or ask if there is a sea merchant from the West, and next time you go to sea to bring us some. Come back, we have the real thing so we can imitate it.”

Jia She nodded: "What else?"

Jia Cong said: "Western countries all have small populations, small populations, and many wars, so they attach great importance to weapons. Up to now, their guns and guns are much stronger than ours. If the merchants dare to sell, I want to buy some. "

Jia She, Gong Sanyi and the others looked at each other in blank dismay because they talked about the benefits of Western muskets in detail.After half a day, Gong Sanyi said in surprise: "Fortunately, they are far away from us."

Jia Cong sighed in his heart, so what if the distance is far away, won't the Eight-Power Allied Forces invade China in the future?However, since the young master is here, naturally he can't just sit there and wait for them to call;Yin looked at Jia She and said, "Father, since you want a complete set, how about getting a complete set?"

Jia Amnesty said, "You talk about how many things you have, and waste those many words."

Jia Cong said: "Every soldier must be equipped with a compass, a dagger, and a slingshot. Although the slingshot is small, it is extremely useful. The gloves and boots must be specially made." He said "soldiers" bluntly, and he had already pointed out that Jia Amnesty was going to send this The group of people became private soldiers.

No one in the room is a fool, but everyone pretends that no one cares about that word, but in fact they know it well and the undercurrent is raging.

Jia Amnesty was also taken aback, looking at him; seeing that he was calm and composed, just adding these things on the paper, he growled inwardly, "That's all". "Anymore?"

Jia Cong thought for a while: "I heard that rattan armor and cotton armor are quite good at preventing arrows, but I don't know if it's true or not. We need to do experiments."

Jia She hurriedly turned to look at Gong Sanyi, and Gong Sanyi sighed: "Looking at it like this, we can't wait any longer, we have to erect the cottage immediately."

Jia Cong said solemnly: "I don't understand why it took so long to set up a cottage? It's not really for robbery, it's just for hiding soldiers."

Jia Amnesty glared at him, "You're not holding your tongue back."

Jia Cong didn't care, and continued, "Even if it's really for robbery, it's been a long time since we stopped robbing slaves."

Gong San also said: "Because there are many things to think about."

Jia Cong laughed and said, "Is that still the king of the mountain? Most of the kings of the mountain are ordinary people who are oppressed by corrupt officials, powerful and powerful slaves, and cannot survive. Most of them are unarmed, have no property, and only have strength. In the beginning, it was mostly for survival, just find a cave in the earth and get into it, do it first and then talk about it. Besides, there is no complete thing in the world, if you have everything, you must be missing the other. Mr. Gong, you want to have everything, and if you don’t keep everything, you will stop.”

Gong San also was stunned on the spot when he heard the words.Jia Amnesty and others have wanted to send someone to occupy the mountain as king for several years, but he has not allowed it all the time because the colors are not complete.It’s just that there are some things where there is one end and then there is no other end, and it’s hard to have both.Therefore, there has been no way to do it.

Gong Kun laughed beside him and said, "Third Master is right, Third Uncle, you are too thoughtful, but nothing will happen."

Seeing that Gong Sanyi was still in a daze, Jia She hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "What do you know, kid? Just talk about it. Mr. Gong is busy day and night, unlike you, he only knows how to play all day long."

Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "Okay, it's all my fault, Mr. Gong, don't be angry."

Gong Kun couldn't help laughing.

Gong San also laughed and said, "I have no sincerity at all." Yin sighed, "You are right, I really thought too much. Now that I have said this, I will immediately send people to set up camp on the mountain and recruit troops!"
