The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that Situ Wei begged the Queen Mother to help him ask for Yinzhuang, but he didn't want the Queen Mother to keep it for herself after seeing it.The Empress Dowager wanted a mere sixth-rank official, so naturally it was up to others whether she wanted it or not.Gan Kexi gritted his teeth and still had to call Yin Zhuang to thank him.Yin Zhuang obeyed.The Queen Mother was overjoyed and immediately rewarded him with 200 taels of silver.Instead, he left Yinzhuang and let Gan Kexi go back to the Yamen by himself.

Coming out of Prince Jin's mansion, Gan Kexi clenched his fists secretly and sat on the horse in a daze for half a day, shaking the reins and heading south of the city.He has been imprisoned in the palace for many years, and he is very busy after he comes out. He only knows the roads in the city roughly.When I found the Longevity Palace and inquired about the Grand View Garden of the antique shop, I saw Ma Sili lying lazily dozing off under the shade of a tree at the door of the shop.So he stepped forward and pushed him awake.

It took Ma Sili half a day to open his eyes, and saw that his boss was coming, he got up and said with a smile, "Master Gan, why did you come in person? Oh, your face is so bad? But you don't feel comfortable?" He hurriedly got up and gave up his seat.

Gan Kexi asked: "Do you know where Yin Zhuang's uncle Yin Qiye is now?"

Ma Sili thought for a while: "It should be in the casino at this point. My lord is looking for him? Why didn't my lord bring Ah Zhuang with me today?"

Gan Kexi's face turned dark again: "Lead me to find Yin Qiye."

"Oh." Ma Sili rubbed the back of his neck, "Rong Beizhi changed into clothes." Then he went in.Gan Kexi stood at the door waiting for him, so naturally he didn't hear the beeping of the telegram inside.

Immediately, Ma Sili came out and led Gan Kexi straight to the casino.Ask the buddy at the door: "Is Yin Qiye here?"

The guy said: "I just came here not long ago, and I'm gambling."

The two searched for half a day before they found Yin Qiye who was sweating profusely from among the crowd.Ma Sili stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder and shouted: "Master Qi, Mr. Gan is here."

Yin Qiye didn't seem to hear: "Wait until I finish playing this game."

Ma Sili was about to grab him, Gan Kexi waved his hand and said, "Let him finish the game."

The two stood in the outer circle and waited, surrounded by gamblers like crazy.Hearing a burst of despondent sighs, Yin Qiye's table was opened, winning less and losing more.Yin Qiye was still waiting to place a bet, so Ma Sili grabbed the back of his neck with one hand and pulled him out.Yin Qiye yelled: "What are you doing!" When he bumped into Gan Kexi, he was taken aback.I looked around him a few more times, but when I didn't find my nephew, I immediately calmed down.

Gan Kexi blushed unknowingly, stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Master Qi, take a step to speak."

Yin Qiye nodded, and said to Ma Sili: "My master is your friend, may I borrow a quiet room with him?"

"It's easy."

Ma Sili got up to look for his boss, Yin Qiye pulled Gan Kexi and whispered to his ear: "The one on the table on your right is wearing crow blue and wearing a soft scarf, do you recognize him?"

Gan Kexi glanced at him, and immediately recognized that this person was an eunuch from the library, with martial arts superior to his own, and sneered: "I know. I can't beat him."

Yin Qiye heheed twice, and patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, I can beat him." Then he stepped forward, grabbed the man and dragged him back, yelling, "I hate two kinds of people the most in my life. Thousands and those who help others cheat!"

Everyone else thought he saw that man cheating, and they booed and clapped their hands.The man struggled and said, "I never cheated!"

Yin Qiye just pretended not to hear, and shouted: "Qiye's hand is itchy and wants to beat someone up, don't step forward if it's irrelevant." No one else stepped forward.

Gan Kexi clearly heard the two casino thugs talking loudly. "Brother, are you coming?"

"Brother, it's a good thing that Qi Ye wants to beat up an old man with an itchy hand! Our boss will treat him to some melon seeds later and thank him."

"Then... what if Master Qi doesn't hold his hand firmly?"

"How many times has Qi Ye fought with us, and there is never a time when he is unstable."

"What brother said is true. Work hard, Seventh Master."

The thugs also pretended to be nothing, and watched Yin Qiye grab the man and go back.Gan Kexi secretly laughed.

The three of them came to the backyard of the casino. There were a few handymen in the yard. Seeing the scene of the fight, they all ran away and were quiet.Yin Qiye casually threw the man on the green brick.The man got up and looked around. Gan Kexi was slowly coming out from the corridor, leaning against the pillar with arms folded, obviously not prepared to intervene.Without waiting for him to speak, Yin Qiye went up and made a move of the black tiger, the man dodged to avoid it, and the two of them fought together.Gan Kexi just watched casually, but after four or five moves he could tell: Yin Qiye didn't talk big, his colleagues in the library were really no match for him.Can't help but secretly startled by the ability of S.H.I.E.L.D.—a group of green forest people whose martial arts are higher than the guards of the palace.

Suddenly hearing a few clicks, the man exclaimed: "You use a hidden weapon!"

Yin Qiye said: "Concealed weapons are the basic skills of green forest people, don't you know?"

"What is this?"

Gan Kexi looked over and saw that Yin Qiye was holding a dagger in his right hand against the colleague's neck, and he was holding something in his left hand.That thing had a handle, and a steel wire came out of the handle to circle the opponent in a circle and a half. There was a hook on the end of the wire, which caught the man's skirt.Yin Qiye smiled and said, "This thing is freshly made, and it hasn't been named yet. Some people suggested calling it Pansidong, and others suggested calling it Xuedizi. What do you think it should be called?"

The man said: "I didn't cheat, why did this Seventh Master seek me?"

Yin Qiye said: "It's nothing, it's just that you don't like it." Nai slapped him on the back of the neck to knock him out, then he untied the gourd around his waist and poured half of the gourd into him.Fang tidied up the coiled silk hole, turned to Gan Kexi and said, "Just leave him here. If he is unlucky and a mouse gnaws his ear, it's unlucky for him." Gan Kexi nodded with a smile, and the two turned and left.

After they left, two people jumped down from the roof, took out handcuffs and ankles, handcuffed this person, took a sack and carried them away.

When Yin and Gan came back from the backyard, Ma Sili had already rented a quiet room, and the three of them sat down upstairs in the casino together.Gan Kexi sighed lightly: "Qiye, I can't help you." Then he told about the Queen Mother leaving Yinzhuang.

Yin Qiye was stunned for a while, then snorted coldly: "The old hag probably thinks this is a great grace."

Ma Sili said angrily: "In their eyes, only their own people are human beings, and no one else is human."

Gan Kexi stood up and bowed, "I am incompetent."

Yin Qiye said: "Where are you incompetent? The imperial city is full of chaos, and ordinary people can't handle it. Because this kind of yamen has too much information, if it weren't for the master with a high IQ, he wouldn't be able to turn his head. Your prince is not a fool. You Sister is gone, if someone else can take over, he would have replaced you long ago, don't you believe it?"

Gan Kexi was silent.After a long time, he said: "Their happy life will not last long."

Yin Qiye said: "If you want to be lazy, just be lazy. The state of Jin has reached the crater, and it is only one step away from eruption."

Gan Kexi was taken aback: "Are you on the crater? I think it's a little messy, but it hasn't reached that point yet."

Yin Qiye broke his fingers and said: "The head of the fine work was assassinated, the Imperial City Division was burned, the Second Highness was assassinated, and the prince was caught. All these incidents without exception show that the Jin royal family made fatal mistakes, but none of them were broken. From the King of Jin himself to the civil and military ministers did not realize that the state of Jin was in jeopardy, they were still happy to build some railways. It is true that I will not cry when I see the coffin. My Zhuanger is a smart boy and knows how to protect himself. Let him play A while is also an experience.”

Jia Cong just coaxed Gan Kexi to leave Jin and go to North America, but didn't let him participate in the action, so he didn't tell him the truth.Gan Kexi thought these things were done by Dongying.He thought about it, anyway, the federation made it clear that chariots and horses wanted to seize Jin.It's okay to let Ah Zhuang hang around under the Queen Mother for a few days.Seeing Yin Qiye's fearless appearance, he instantly felt relieved.Nai said: "When this chaos is over... I want to go to North America."

Yin Qiye nodded and said: "That's right. North America has high sky and vast land, and there is no restriction. It is most suitable for young people."

Ma Sili said: "My lord used to like to make a fortune, and when he was humbled, he had to go to North America to play. But I heard that wild animals are rampant in that area, and they hunt every day."

Gan Kexi said calmly, "I still have ideas about hunting." Suddenly, he thought of all the people he met in Jin State, from Situ Wei to Zhang Wenlan, and felt vicissitudes.Nai went to the window and stood with his hands behind his back, reciting a poem.Yin Qiye and Ma Sili applauded in unison.Gan Kexi smiled slightly and relaxed.

A few days later, Zhang Wenlan decided to draw a detailed map of Taiyuan and measure the entire city of Taiyuan because she couldn't find any news about the Imperial City Yamen.No matter where the Imperial City Secretary is hiding, he can't move to the suburbs, can he?Zhang Su found an opportunity to report this matter to King Jin.King Jin felt that the young man was quite energetic, so he not only ignored him, he even ordered his subordinates to take care of him.

Zhang Wenlan thought that the yamen of the Imperial City Division would not be too far from the Prince Jin's Mansion, so she started near the Prince Jin Mansion.Nai carried tools and led his assistants out early and returned late.Count him lucky.It was only the fourth day, and he was trying to get someone to pull a rope to measure the length of a small street, when he turned his head and saw Yin Zhuang coming on horseback.

Zhang Wenlan jumped up with joy: "A Zhuang, A Zhuang! It's me!" Seeing this, Yin Zhuang got off his horse and said hello.Zhang Wenlan also bowed her hand in return.Nai grabbed Yin Zhuang and dragged him to the side of the road, "Ah Zhuang, can I ask you some questions?"

Yin Zhuang said: "I can't tell you where the imperial city's yamen is."

Zhang Wenlan shook her head: "It's not that. It's about you, Mr. Gan."

"Then I can't tell you either."

Zhang Wenlan thought for a while: "That's it. I'll ask you some questions. If the answer is right, you nod your head; if you don't, shake your head. This way, you won't be counting as telling me."

Yin Zhuang looked at him, but said nothing.

Zhang Wenlan knew that this was tacit consent.The corners of the mouth were raised, and he picked up the drawing board with one hand and the charcoal pencil with the other. "Ah Xi, does he like sweets?"

Yin Zhuang was stunned: "How would I know that?"

Zhang Wenlan stumbled: "Why don't you even know this, you two are friends. Think about it!"

"I never paid attention to it so carefully." Yin Zhuang thought for a long time, "as if..." nodded hesitantly.

Zhang Wenlang recorded it neatly on paper. "Thank you. Does he like spicy food?" Yin Zhuang shook his head solemnly. "Do you like salty food?" Yin Zhuang nodded slightly. "Does he like meat? Does he like pork? Does he like fish? ...Does he like vegetables? Does he like eggplant? Does he like leeks? ... Does he like red? Does he like blue? ... Li Bai Do you like Wang Wei?..." Some Yin Zhuang knew about it, while others said "I don't know".Yin Zhuang was so patient that he listened to him for half an hour in a daze.

Zhang Wenlan smiled and bowed to the ground: "Thank you. Ah Zhuang, I owe you a favor."

Yin Zhuang said: "Two." He took the charcoal pencil from his hand and turned to the top page of the drawing board.It was Zhang Wenlan's enlarged map of this area drawn from the existing Taiyuan map.Yin Zhuang casually drew a circle in a small street, dropped his pen and left.

Zhang Wenlan let out a low growl, and shouted at Yin Zhuang's back, "Thank you so much! Treat yourself to wine!" Yin Zhuang waved his hand and rode off on his horse.

In the evening of that day, Zhang Wenlan led people to the small street drawn by Yin Zhuang, thinking about which house was the imperial city's yamen.He didn't know that a moment before they turned into the street, a child sent a letter to Gan Kexi.The letter is in Yin Zhuang's handwriting, with only the words "come out of the gate" on it.Gan Kexi hurriedly got up and went out.

Just as she stepped out of the door, she suddenly saw Zhang Wenlan holding the drawing board and waving her arms, urging someone to pull the rope, and the two bumped into each other face to face.Zhang Wenlan was pleasantly surprised!Waving his hands, he said, "Master Xiao Gan, we are really destined! Let's have dinner together tonight, I'll be the host."

Gan Kexi was stunned for a long time: "Why is Mr. Zhang here?"

"I'm going to draw a new map of Taiyuan." Zhang Wenlan leaned forward, "When I measured the street, it happened to be here. It's a coincidence." What a coincidence!The corner of Gan Kexi's mouth moved slightly.When was Yinzhuang bought by this fellow?Pian Zhang Wenlan had already wrapped his arms around his waist, "It's hot now. I know a restaurant with a big pond at the back dedicated to raising lotus root fish and shrimp. The cook is good at making various dishes and snacks with lotus leaves and lotus flowers, which are appetizing and refreshing. Relieve the heat. If you don’t taste it, it’s useless to come to this world!”

Gan Kexi said: "I still have a lot of things to do."

"Then you have to eat too, don't you?" Zhang Wenlan said, "I haven't finished my work here anyway. Let's go together later?" Without waiting for anyone to answer, he snapped his fingers, "That's it!" Nai waved his hand and turned around to do things.

Gan Kexi stood at the gate of the yamen for half a day before moving.Just now Zhang Wenlan stuffed something into his arms, about half the size of a fist, neither hard nor soft.It was only a few steps from the door to the study room, Gan Kexi had already guessed many possibilities such as Zhang Su, the family of the imperial concubine, and what it was.After returning to the house and sitting down, he took out the thing from his bosom and saw that it was a paper bag.Opening the paper bag, there was a piece of red bean glutinous rice cake lying inside.Gan Kexi stared at the cake for a long time, picked it up and took a bite.Fortunately, it's sweet but not greasy, which coincides with my own taste.

He has a very good memory, and immediately remembered that one day he and Yin Zhuang were doing business outside, and when they came back, both of them were a little hungry.Passing by a dim sum shop, he invited Yin Zhuang to eat dim sum.Yin Zhuang asked for walnut cakes, and he ordered red bean glutinous rice cakes, and complained that the cakes were too sweet.Gan Kexi rolled his eyes, Yin Zhuang is a traitor.So I lost my mind to work.After eating the rice cakes and packing up the official documents, he straightened his clothes, told the people below that he would be back later, and walked out.

Zhang Wenlan was waiting at the door, and when she saw him come out, she shouted loudly: "Come here today, call it a day!"

Gan Kexi didn't look at him. "What did Yin Zhuang tell you?"

"Nothing." Zhang Wenlan said seriously, "He didn't say anything, really."
