The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Eunuch Gan and Yin Zhuang went through the files overnight, and found the origin of the arrow that sounded in the middle of the night. Twenty-five years ago, the old King Jin and several other princes received arrow letters at the same time, saying that Zhou Yan, the envoy at the time, was about to lose his official position; Jia Cong was still a child at that time.It didn't take long for Zhou Yan to die.The Supreme Emperor promoted the Deputy Envoy of Tongzheng to the position of Chief Envoy, and the vacated position of Deputy Envoy of Tongzheng was filled by Jia Lian.Pianna also added an eyebrow criticism from the former Imperial City Secretary, Mr. Sun: Four years later, I knew it was the work of Yu Bu, Prince Yizhong.

Eunuch Gan pondered: "Isn't it the year when the late emperor passed away in four years' time?"

Yin Zhuang said: "Yes. The first emperor died, the Supreme Emperor disappeared, and the world was divided in that year."

Immediately, Gan Gonggong ordered him to move all the files four years later.The two checked again, and found that 21 years ago, the kings had obtained two arrow books.The first one told the princes that the late emperor was about to die, and the Supreme Emperor deliberately cut off the military pay of many of the late emperor's confidants and generals, and listed the generals.The princes then split up to win over.The latter one pointed out that the Supreme Emperor was in the hands of King Yan, and came up with an idea to distribute the titles among the kings.The last item was not an arrow book, but a box of imitated Tiger Talismans was given to the kings, and he left a message calling himself Prince Yizhong Yubu.

Eunuch Gan pondered for a long time with the file, looked at Yin Zhuang and said, "What do you think?"

Yin Zhuang said: "It is exactly the same as "230 Record of Seven Injustices" and our matter."

"Do you believe it was Prince Yizhong's Yu Bu who did it?"

Yin Zhuang thought for a long time: "If it wasn't them, who would it be? The symptoms of the first emperor are beyond ordinary people's ability to know, and the tiger charms are beyond ordinary people's ability to imitate. Prince Yizhong has been the crown prince for decades, and his mother has also been a prince for decades. Empress, I don’t know how many nails have been buried in the army and the palace. With this ability, I can justify it. No one else can.”

Eunuch Gan thought for a while and said, "Prince Yizhong didn't even leave a single male. His people hate the Emperor to the bone and want to disrupt his country. It makes sense. You snatched it from my master, and you won't let it be torn apart." You get it. It is justifiable to ruin the reputation of the first emperor, I am afraid that they hate the first emperor more than the Supreme Emperor. But what has it to do with my state of Jin?"

Yin Zhuang said: "Will it be..." He hesitated to speak.

Eunuch Gan said kindly, "But it doesn't matter."

Yin Zhuang said: "I remember Mr. Sun once mentioned that our old prince secretly took refuge in Prince Yizhong in the early years. Fortunately, he hid it deeply and closed his hands quickly, so he was never implicated. I don't know... there is something wrong with Prince Yizhong."

Eunuch Gan was shocked: "There is such a thing!" After thinking for a moment, he turned his head to see that it was dawn, and said, "You rest for a while, and the miscellaneous family will go to the palace to see the prince."

Yin Zhuang said: "Dare to ask my lord, can you send me to do something later? If so, I will just take a nap in the yamen. If not, I want to go home."

Eunuch Gan thought about it for a while and said, "Go back. Even machines have to rest."

Yin Zhuang said: "Since this is the case, my lord also needs to rest."

Eunuch Gan smiled and said, "I have my own measure." Yin Zhuang then went home.

Eunuch Gan rushed to the palace to meet King Jin, and when he returned to the Yamen, he saw that Yin Zhuang had returned!He frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you to go back and rest?"

Yin Zhuangnai said in a low voice: "Bizhi didn't tell my uncle that he was working in the Imperial City Department, but only that he was working in the governor's yamen. Because he was thinking about leaking secrets, he was a little absent-minded when eating. My uncle asked, but encountered a difficult situation. An analogy."

"What did you say?"

"The humble official said that the Yamen has recently encountered a case, which seems to be carved out of the same mold as several old cases more than 20 years ago. The masters are wondering if it will be the same group of people who did it back then. It's just that those people were friends Revenge. The revenge has already been reported. Why did they come to commit the crime again? The humble uncle once walked through the green forest when he was a teenager. He said that according to the practice of the green forest, there is no feast that never ends. The revenge has been reported, and the gang has broken up for more than 20 years. Maybe which one The brothers have formed a new enemy recently, and I have followed the methods of the past, and I am familiar with the way."

Eunuch Gan nodded unconsciously: "Your uncle's words are reasonable. The Supreme Emperor has lost his throne, and Prince Yizhong's revenge has also been avenged. His people may have dispersed."

Yin Zhuang said: "And I don't know who I voted for instead." Eunuch Gan looked at him and smiled slightly.

On the other side, the birthday banquet of Han Mansion has already started.Due to the large number of guests, several pavilions were cleaned up and retreated.Jia Cong and Feng Ziying did not show their fame, but only sent Jia Meng's name card in, and the two of them followed Jia Meng to pretend to be cleanup guests.The steward of the Han family saw him, and hurriedly sent the boy to call a man who greeted the guests to come and accompany him.But that man was so busy that he didn't have time to listen for half a day.The steward jumped in a hurry.

Jia Meng smiled and said: "No problem, no problem, you are busy with your work, send someone to lead the way, we plan to carry the birthday gift inside."

The steward bowed hastily: "Thank you, Uncle Jia, for your compassion." Then he called for someone to lead the way.Jia Meng and the others went to the table first.

The Han family set up a large table in the main room, covered with a big red felt, and put all the fine, precious and novelty items in the birthday ceremony.It is said that it is cheap for Mrs. Han to watch, but in fact it is to show off to other guests.The lady in charge of the Guanshou Auditorium heard that the eldest grandson of the Rongguo Mansion came to present a birthday gift, so she rushed to greet her.When I got to the gate, I was stunned.Rongguo Mansion sent several gifts.There are large glass vases made in the West, and battery floor lamps made in Taiwan. Behind them are a dozen burly men pushing a strange-looking iron cart.There are many people around to watch the excitement, but they don't recognize it.

The lady in charge stepped forward and asked, "May I ask you gentlemen, what kind of car is this?"

The man from Rongguo Mansion said: "This is a new car made by the Dajiala No. [-] Automobile Factory. It is safe, stable, and fast. Only the old lady has such a car in the entire Taiyuan City! Driving a car is the most refreshing interesting."

The lady in charge walked around the iron cart twice, tsk-tsk said: "It's really strange, I've never seen it before."

An official was also curious, and asked, "What are you using to pull such a heavy iron cart?"

The man said: "The car burns oil, so you don't need external force to pull it." He laughed and said, "It's not like horses, which get tired when they walk. They can shit no matter where they are. If the streets are full of cars , how much effort does the cleaner save?"

Everyone was surprised: "Don't you need a horse to pull it?"

"Need not."

Someone in the crowd shouted: "Oh, is this a car?" A young man got out and touched the hood happily, "This is a Ford Model T."

The clerk clapped his hands and said, "Here comes an expert! That's right, it's a Model T Ford."

The young man clicked his tongue and said, "I've seen it many times in the newspapers, but this is the first time I've seen the real thing. So it's about to start selling? How much is it?"

The man laughed and said, "We don't know about that."

The young man touched the transparent glass in front of the car and his eyes sparkled: "I beg the old lady to open it for me later."

A small yellow door has followed behind him, hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't mess around, you want us to go back and buy it." Nai tugged his sleeves, "Your Highness, let people in." Everyone was surprised.

The young man reluctantly said: "It hasn't been officially released yet. The old lady will definitely not open it."

The buddy said: "Our uncle Xiaomeng said he would teach Uncle Fei to drive."

The young man immediately said: "Hey, teach me too." Xiao Huangmen tugged at him again.

A steward from the Han Mansion has come forward to welcome him: "Dare to ask this young master..."

Xiao Huangmen puffed up his chest and took out the name card. "This is our Fourth Highness."

Everyone around heard the words and saluted hurriedly.His Royal Highness Situ Wei smiled and said: "It's just that I just got interested by chance and wanted to come and see the excitement. Don't be too polite, I'm not used to it." The man who welcomed guests from the Han family has already rushed over, bowed and greeted him, and invited him went in.

Because the car was too heavy, more than a dozen men worked together to lift it over the threshold of the Han Mansion. It was very lively.Several cameras were around to take pictures.

Han Qi and others rushed to the front of the hall to welcome Situ Wei into the seat.Situ Wei smiled and said, "I'm a little hasty today, I didn't prepare a birthday present."

Han Qi hurriedly said: "It's a great honor for His Highness to come in person, why do you need other birthday gifts."

Situ Wei said: "Don't be rude in front of the elders. How about this? I will draw a portrait for the old lady on the spot."

Can Han Qi say no?So the old lady was invited out.Situ Wei ordered someone to set up a drawing board and draw with charcoal pencils.Many guests have come to this meeting, and they are all curious to watch.

Jia Meng also stepped forward to have a look, and said with a smile, "You draw a sketch!"

Situ Wei glanced at him: "That's right! I'm from the Department of Architecture."

"Oh. I'm from the history department." Jia Meng said, "But I also learned sketching."

When Situ Wei finished painting, everyone saw that he really looked like Mrs. Han!They all praised: "Your Highness is very capable!"

Jia Meng muttered to the side: "It's just average. All art-related majors are better than this."

Pian Situwei heard it, and said, "I'm not an art-related major, okay?"

Jia Meng said, "You guys are majors in art." Then he said to Han Qi, "Sketching is easy, but oil painting is the most troublesome. Let me ask an oil painter to paint a portrait for the old lady tomorrow." Han Qi hurriedly agreed, and asked the eldest son winked.

Han Fei understood, put Jia Meng's shoulders and dragged him away.When he got to a place where there was no one there, he complained: "Brother Meng, he is the prince's son, why do you compare him to him?"

Jia Meng said: "If I don't poke him, others will think he has given your family such a face!" Nai whispered, "I don't think this guy is the master of Ansheng." Han Fei was taken aback.Jia Meng patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, go ahead." He turned around and went back to the table.

Jia Cong and Feng Ziying were sitting chatting, seeing Jia Meng came back and asked, "What did you do?"

Jia Meng lay on his uncle's neck, put her head between the two elders and whispered, "Third Uncle, Uncle Feng, isn't this fourth son a bit pretentious?"

Jia Cong said: "Why do people pretend to be forceful after drawing a portrait? Only gold, silver and jewelry are considered gifts. Gifts are light and affection is important."

"It's okay for him to be serious and affectionate." Jia Meng said, "I think he just came here to show off that he can draw portraits. It's not a rare skill. Few people in Jin know about it. Popularity. Does he want to seize the throne?"

Jia Cong and Feng Ziying looked at each other and said, "It's hard to say." He reached into his arms and took out a piece of paper and gave it to him. "This is the telegram I received earlier."

Jia Meng saw that the co-authors had sent people to Dajiala University to investigate Situ Wei.This person is a sophomore in the Department of Architecture, and most of what he said to Jia Cong a few days ago was true.It's just that everyone knows that he has a girlfriend, a junior senior in the Department of Economics, who looks petite and cute.And his classmates and friends don't know what other girls from the same department he likes.Jia Meng held her chin and said, "Since you have a girlfriend, why do you say you don't have one?"

"That's right." Jia Cong said, "If we didn't have cheats like telegrams, how would we know if he has a girlfriend?"

"Third Uncle, you've got the point wrong. The point is why he said he doesn't have a girlfriend." Jia Meng said seriously, "Why are you talking about his father and king's first wife and younger wife wanting to marry him a concubine?"

Jia Cong rubbed his nephew's head with his backhand: "Obviously, I want me to intervene. I have always advocated free love. If I intervene in his marriage, I don't know if the outsiders will see that I am helping him?"

"Then wouldn't it be better for him to say that he has a girlfriend?"

"I don't know why." Jia Zongte asked Han Qi to sit at a secluded table for himself, but then raised his eyes to look at Situ Wei in the distance, "I'll find out in a few days."

"How did the time limit of 'in a few days' come about?"

"We're here to celebrate your birthday. Don't we have to leave in a few days?"

Jia Meng was confused: "Aren't we going to stay for a long time?"

Jia Cong knocked on him: "How would outsiders know?" Jia Meng shrugged and sat down next to his uncle.

Feng Ziying thought for a moment, then sent a guard to call Han Qi.When Han Qi came over, Feng Ziying bit his ear for a long time.Han Qi was surprised.Feng Ziying smiled and said, "Just listen to me. I've been in this business for many years." Han Qi nodded and left.

After lunch, Situ Wei left immediately, and Han Qi and Han Fei sent him out personally.Most of the guests were still in front of the hall, and immediately someone started talking loudly about the sketch and praised it endlessly.Jia Meng heard it, and said, "Sketching is a basic skill in Western painting. It is equivalent to tracing red in calligraphy. If you don't believe me, let me draw one!"

Someone laughed and said: "Why does that young master take it seriously? It's just flattering His Royal Highness. I can do this too. I draw better than him. Why don't you think I say anything?"

Jia Meng smiled and said, "That's right, he said he was from the Department of Architecture, but I forgot his identity for a while. Is it mine? Let's keep shooting and bragging!" Then they exchanged a smile with that person.

But it seems that this person is only eighteen or nineteen years old, he is a boy.Standing nine feet tall, with big arms and a round waist, it is obvious that he is the son of a general.Jia Meng stepped forward and cupped her hands before she wanted to speak. The young man said with great interest, "Brother, do you really know how to draw?"

Jia Meng said, "I'm not good at painting. My fourth aunt is a very good painter."

The boy's eyes lit up: "I'm young, can my aunt avoid it? Can you accept me as a disciple?"

Jia Meng said: "She and my uncle have both gone abroad." The boy was immediately disappointed.Jia Meng comforted, "There are many famous painters in the world, but it is not easy for you to learn painting? Taiyuan is a place of outstanding people, how can there be no painters?"

The young man sighed: "My father forbids me to learn."

"Don't you know how to sketch?"

"No." The young man said, "I heard that what you said seems to be true, I will help you, I want to go back and learn painting from you quietly - I can't learn painting from His Highness the Fourth Highness."
