The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chunfeng Building is the largest flower building in Chang'an, where there are endless singing and dancing day and night.At dusk, the building is full of dandies as usual, calling friends and friends to exchange cups.At night, when the wine was in full swing, suddenly heard the sound of "bang bang bang", a group of soldiers appeared outside the building, wearing the military uniforms of Qin officers and soldiers, holding guns and guns.

The old bustard was startled, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face: "Military masters are here~~"

The leader smiled and said, "Here we come."

The old bustard's heart beat even harder: "I don't know what kind of girl you military masters want?"

The leader took a look at the lobby and said, "Do you have any free girls here?"

The old bustard said with a smile: "Masters of the military have worked so hard to defend the country and defend the border, so if you don't have one, you have to take two for the master, right?"

The leader said: "That's not necessary. We are not here to find fans and drink."

"Dare to ask the military master this is it?"

The leader glanced at the soldiers around him.The soldiers swung their fire. The gun shot towards the roof with a "bang", and the fans in the room screamed in unison.The leader smiled and said: "We are here to kidnap tickets."

The old bustard was stunned. "Master Jun, we are a kiln here!"

"I know." The leader said, "But your guests are all uncles." Nai shouted, "If you don't want to die, you can catch them without a fight!"

"Bang bang bang bang..." The soldier raised his gun and shot at the beams indiscriminately, and then shouted: "If you don't want to die, hurry up and catch it!"

There was a commotion in the building.A customer rolled up his sleeves and jumped off the railing with hot wine on his head, yelling, "I'm afraid of you..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a coquettish scolding, his voice was like gold and stone: "Mr. Zhang, don't be reckless! Listen to them!" The girl who was a poet and prostitute walked out quickly, stopped in front of the guest and stood upright, looking like a wasp-waisted ape. The back is in the shape of a crane and a mantis.

The guest reached out to grab her: "Miss Mei, get out of the way, this is a man's work!"

Mei girl smiled sweetly: "This is a brothel, and a brothel is a place for women."

She has an ordinary appearance, and she can't compare with all the beauties in the building.It was just that the smile was so bright and vivid that the leader's heart skipped a beat when he saw it.Nai smiled with her hands behind her back: "Miss Mei really lives up to her reputation."

Girl Mei greeted him with a happy smile: "Hello, Mr. Bi."

The leader raised his eyebrows: "Do you recognize me?"

Girl Mei said: "The portrait of Senior Official Bi is pasted on the opposite side of our building."

The leader nodded: "I have a good memory, no wonder I can be regarded as the oiran. Yes, I am the wanted criminal Bi Da posted outside."

Girl Mei said: "Although I don't know what the official Bi wants to do, if you want to kidnap the ticket, you must have a plan. The official just said that what you want is the uncle in this building."

"good."

Mei girl smiled brightly: "I'm just a fan, worthless. Besides, women are timid, troublesome and talkative, and it's not pleasant to shout when they are frightened. Please listen to the officials—" At that time, the building was in chaos, and the fans screamed and cried one after another, and there was chaos.Girl Mei went on to say, "When a high-ranking official undertakes such an important event, his subordinates must be cautious and prudent, and they must not be distracted or make mistakes. The green skirts and red sleeves full of buildings are dangling in front of your eyes. If there is any accident, it will break the big one." It’s not good for the officials to be serious. Why don’t we let the sisters of the slave family go away. The slave’s appearance is not outstanding, so it’s okay to keep it; our mother is old, so how about staying to serve the military lords?”

The official Bi looked at her in amazement for a long time, and said, "I, Bi, have been in Chang'an for several years, but I haven't come to see a woman like you. It's really a pity."

Girl Mei smiled: "Didn't I see you?"

Officer Bi thought for a moment, then looked at Miss Mei, and nodded generously: "Yes. You and the old bustard will stay, and the other girls will leave first."

Mei girl bowed lightly: "Thank you, sir."

The old bustard was already in a cold sweat several times.Just now, the girl who had just met her eyebrows was serious and Zhuang Rong was negotiating with the kidnappers, and she was a little taken aback.Girl Mei glanced at her.She hurriedly bowed down: "Thank you, sir."

Senior official Bi said with a smile: "The old bustard has a good look, she really knows how to pick people."

Miss Mei bowed again: "Thank you for your compliment." Senior official Bi laughed.

The official Zhang who just jumped down from the upstairs was already awake, took a deep look at Miss Mei, clasped his fists and said, "Miss Mei, today my surname Zhang will follow you, if there is any order, just give orders."

Miss Mei hurriedly turned around and bowed down: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang. The most urgent task at the moment is to prevent the gentlemen from digging into the ice for fire or cooking with sand. Mr. Bi has firearms in his hands, so even if the masters are extremely skilled in martial arts, it is not a problem." Opponents. The most important thing is to save the lives of the officials. If someone dies, how will our business in this building be done in the future?"

Zhang Daguan praised: "Miss Mei has such a big heart, she is still thinking about future business."

Girl Mei said solemnly: "The big things will always pass, won't they? Life has to live and business has to be done. Is it easy to make a name for an ordinary kiln? Look outside, the whole street is full of Yingying Yanyan, there are many and powerful colleagues, this bowl of rice is not delicious."

Senior official Bi couldn't help clapping his hands: "It's the first time I've seen such a generous fan."

The soldiers went from house to house with guns to search for people, and Miss Mei went with them, persuading the guest officials to surrender and sending the fans downstairs.The old bustard didn't disturb the guests, but only arranged for the girls under his command to gather in the veranda outside and send them out quietly.Not long after, the hall downstairs was full of male guests.

Mr. Bi stepped onto a table, raised his legs and kicked the cups, plates, pots and bowls on it, and said loudly, "My friends, I'm sorry. I'm going to tie up a ticket today. You are all hostages. Actually, I'm not a bad person." , I just want to talk to our lord."

The crowd was uproarious.Someone tremblingly said: "General, just discuss with the prince, what do you have to do with us?"

Senior official Bi sighed: "My lord can see it casually. If I don't make a fuss, I won't be able to get close to the stone lion in front of the palace."

Everyone just started discussing, when the girl with eyebrows laughed crisply: "Since that's the case... High official, have you ever used banknotes?"

Senior officer Bi raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did Miss Mei say that?"

Girl Mei said: "There are no banknotes in the world. It was the money bank who created banknotes for the convenience of big merchants traveling with them. I am afraid that it would be inconvenient for them to carry a large amount of silver on the road. Banknotes are divided into many denominations. A piece of silver is 1000 taels." The ticket is 1000 taels, two 500 taels are 1000 taels, ten 100 taels are 1000 taels, and one hundred ten taels are still 1000 taels. They are all the same. Why not exchange one hundred ten taels for one thousand taels with Is it cheaper?"

Officer Bi looked at her in astonishment, and said after a while, "What a clever girl! What a sharp mouth."

All the guests were confused, and whispered among themselves: "What did Miss Mei say?"

A businessman in his forties flashed out from the crowd and said, "Miss Mei, after today's business, how about coming to my house to be the shopkeeper? I invite you to be the big shopkeeper of the seafood store! You're too talented to be a fan."

As soon as the words were finished, another person dressed as a Confucian scholar stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Miss Mei, I am the secretary of the Chinese Federation's Office in Qin State. Would you like to come to the Federation as an official? A girl like this can enter the Ministry of Rites."

Mei girl's eyes flicked: "Ministry of Rites? Your regent uses a pink head as an official of the Ministry of Rites? Aren't you afraid to laugh people's big teeth off?"

The Confucian scholar said: "Our federal government only looks at people's ability and integrity, regardless of their background. The household doctor, Mrs. Luo Tainiang, used to be an old bustard." There was a commotion among the people.

Girl Mei said: "I've heard about Luo Tainiang's famous servant. Thank you, Mr. Special Envoy, for your kindness. I haven't thought about changing my career yet."

Confucian scholar said: "Girl, if you want to be an official and go to a bigger platform to show your talents, just come and tell me. I'm waiting for you at any time."

Mei girl nodded with a smile, and looked at Mr. Bi with a smile.Senior officer Bi put his arms behind his back and said, "How many one thousand notes can your country of Qin get?"

Girl Mei said: "How many officials do you want? The government will come soon, and the officials just need to go. The officials who came here today must not be aimless. If you have something to say, tell it to an important person. Sai Guo told a thousand idlers to know. Although my state of Qin is not located in the Central Plains, there are still a few high-ranking officials who have the backbone and responsibility."

Senior official Bi snorted, "Really? What if I want your lord?"

Mei girl said: "Why do you have to come up with such a dead question? How about us Ping'an Marquis and Uncle Guo?"

Senior officer Bi sneered and said, "Aren't I stupid? If you want them, your lord might wish for me to tear up the ticket. You might as well want Zhu Wei."

Mei girl immediately beamed and smiled: "Excellent! Count him in. I'll add a few more for your lord. How about Ding Bozhang, the imperial historian? And Lelan, the official Cao Lang Zhongling. Um... Ting Wei Guo Xin, the commander He Yun, our prince trusts the army to lead General Ou Cheng. Then choose a father-in-law from the prince's personal servants. It's almost the same."

Senior official Bi clapped his hands and sighed: "Your lord should really let the girl be an official."

Next, someone understood what Miss Mei meant, and there was a lot of "Aiya". "It turns out Miss Mei wants these adults to replace us!"

Everyone pinched their fingers and counted. According to what the girl with eyebrows said, Qin must have done a loss-making business.Although Liu Feng has resigned from the prime minister, there are still people in the court who support him, and the leader is Ding Bozhang.The old minister who opposed Liu Feng was led by Le Lan's father, Le Lao Scholar.Zhu Wei was not prominent in the court before, but now he is investigating the case of Fuyuntang.Guo Xin is the lonely official of the King of Qin, and He Yunou is the leader of the generals in Chengdu.If there is another eunuch who is a servant, he will be the most reluctant person in the entire Qin Kingdom and King Qin.

Someone shouted: "Miss Mei, the prince will not agree."

Another person said: "These are only 1000 taels, tens of thousands of taels." Everyone was discouraged: To put it bluntly, the building is just a group of dudes, how can it be worth exchanging with court officials?

Senior officer Bi thought for a while, and said, "Miss Mei, I'll weigh in on this idea." Miss Mei bowed down with a smile.

The fans who went out first had already gone to the yamen to report the crime, and now someone rushed over to shout out.The officers and soldiers surrounded the Chunfeng Building, and the fire, guns and artillery piled on top of each other.The crescent moon on the top of the building was like a hook, and suddenly, a pigeon flew out.

A kidnapper came out of the gate of Chunfeng Building and raised his hands to Qin Jun: "I never carried a weapon."

There is a general in front of the Qin army, he really doesn't look like a bandit, he is clearly an elite soldier regardless of his stature or demeanor.Naiming his subordinates: "Let him come closer."

The kidnapper strode up to the general's horse, clasped his fists and said, "We high officials have something to say, please pass it on to King Qin."

The general looked him over. "Speak, strong man."

"The senior official said that he lost this trip, but the prince didn't win either. People in the world are the same. People who are greedy for ink may not be good officials, and people who are honest may not be loyal. If you don't believe me, please ask the prince to send a A few trustworthy people will come with us high-ranking officials to let the prince watch the fun. Since we high-ranking officials have lost, we will leave Qin. It’s just that there are a few important people in the hands of the prince. It's nothing, but we officials are reluctant to leave it behind. The people in the Chunfeng Building don't have official positions, I'm afraid every household in Chang'an has them, and we officials don't know how much they are worth. People... probably can still afford to change."

The general nodded and said: "Bida wants to exchange these guests and the government for your people. But the prisoners in prison?"

"That's right." The kidnapper said, "It's really troublesome to break into a prison and go to prison. Besides, if there is someone under the prince who is really dedicated to serving the people and not afraid of danger, as long as the weight is enough and we high-ranking officials feel that they will not suffer, they can also exchange hostages. After the exchange is over, we officials will take them to see the scenery tomorrow, and the prince will definitely not lose money."

The general thought to himself, "Shall we send high officials from the court to replace the hostages inside?"

"That's right." The kidnapper said with a smile, "Our senior officials said that we need one civil and one military, a father-in-law, a relative of a prince, and Lord Zhu Tong, a total of five people. If you want to change, hurry up, after four more Today, our high-ranking officials are going to sleep, so we won’t change them.” He cupped his hands, turned around and left without waiting for the general to answer.

The general meditated for a long time, and told his subordinates: "Be careful, I will go to the palace to report to the lord." Then he turned his horse and left.

When the general arrived, the palace was full of people.Then he said the words of the kidnapper verbatim.After listening, everyone looked at Zhu Tong in unison.Zhu Tong immediately said: "Then hurry up and change."

Mr. Cui said: "My lord, you can't show your prestige in such things."

Zhu Tong smiled wryly and said: "It's fine if it's elsewhere. But in Chang'an... Chunfenglou is the largest kiln in the city. There are all kinds of customers, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen in it, and their residences are spread all over the city. The people don't know what happened right now. By tomorrow, it will be clear which family has a child who has been taken hostage in it. As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the well rope for ten years. My lord, don’t forget that Chang’an City was once kidnapped and the ticket was torn The common people are bound to be frightened, and frightened people are prone to chaos." The officials discussed for a while.

Mr. Cui thought about it: "It makes sense." But he looked at him and said, "He has specified that he wants Mr. Zhu."

Zhu Tong smiled and said: "Since you have pointed out me, what else should I worry about? I am the number one anyway."

Mr. Cui smiled and said: "Okay, okay. If that's the case—" he stood up and said, "My lord, how about counting as Weichen No. [-]? Weichen took the 'one article' first."

Before the words were finished, Le Lan's father, Le Lao Scholar, stood up and said: "Mr. Cui is not an official in the court, so the 'one penny' will be counted to the old man."

Mr. Cui and Zhu Tong said in unison: "How can I let you be a hostage! How old are you? Not to mention it's cold."

Ding Bozhang, the official censor, said: "My lord has already retired to the forest and has no official position. It is better to go down to the official position." Then the dispute with the old scholar Le started.Before the King of Qin could intervene, tears were streaming down his face: In order not to frighten the common people, the officials of the lonely king were vying to go to the kidnappers as hostages!

After a while, a nanny came outside, who was by the Queen Mother's side, and saluted King Qin and said, "The Queen Mother said that Master Yu's Qing Ke is trying to persuade him to be a hostage in exchange for the people of Chang'an. That person is very good, he must Can persuade the uncle of the country."

Before the words were finished, someone laughed and said: "Don't! I'll go!" Everyone looked at it, and a young man in a pine-colored python robe stood up with a smile, "Brother, am I your relative?"

King Qin choked with sobs: "Yes."

This person walked up to King Qin and patted him on the shoulder and said loudly, "I'll go. You don't have to owe your uncle favors. Otherwise, he will continue to act recklessly in the future, and you have nothing to do."

The nanny blushed immediately, and shouted: "Bold, who are you? You dare to touch the prince."

The young man smiled, pointed to his nose and said, "My surname is Situ."
