It is said that Mr. Ding came to the inn to test Jia Cong, and he looked exactly like Guo Shu many years ago, so Jia Cong was wary of him.
The cuckoo bird lays eggs in other bird's nests, and other birds will help the cuckoo hatch the eggs and raise the young. Just like Mr. Guo, in order to prevent his family from being wiped out by Fang Xiong, he secretly had an affair with a married man and passed off his illegitimate child as the son of someone else.
He was raised in someone else's home. Now this Mr. Ding is most likely Guo Shu's illegitimate son. Since his surname is Ding, Xu is the same as Mr. Guo's illegitimate children. Guo Shu sincerely raised him in another family.
When Mr. Guo chooses an affair partner, he especially chooses a woman with an honest man and a well-off family. As his father, Guo Shu, is a confident and thoughtful person, he will not randomly pick a woman to cheat on him. Although Fang Xiong is a powerful person, he has never been around.
Taoist priest Fang can cover up. Guo Shu's illegitimate son should not be raised near Fang Xiong. Either he lives in seclusion in the mountains like Guo Sanshui, or he has the protection of a noble. Besides, Guo Shu should have arranged for Guo Sanshui to take Mr. Guo to live in seclusion in Shu.
, he would not hide his other son in Shu. This person named Ding was more likely to be raised in someone's family by the Sixth Prince, and followed the Sixth Prince from the capital to Shu when the world was divided.
Although there were several detours in his mind, Jia Cong still had a lazy look on his face and glanced at Mr. Ding casually: "Oh, you are not Fang Xiong's person anymore? Okay, whatever. Anyway, it doesn't have anything to do with me."
Mr. Ding bowed deeply and said, "Don't be surprised, Mr. Jia. Mr. Jia has come up with a big plan for the prince today. It seems grand, but it is actually unheard of. I am a little worried, so I secretly tested him without telling the prince. The prince has no idea at all."
Jia Cong laughed and said: "I wonder if Mr. Ding has heard of Western firearms in his early years? If you have never heard of Western firearms, it is inappropriate. Your Majesty does not need to buy that. It is very good to use swords and guns to fight the British." Mr. Ding apologized again. Jia Cong said: "Just now
I asked the young man how he would treat me if I didn't forgive him. He said I should apologize. I deliberately choked him and asked him what else I should do if the apology was useful. I just wanted to see if he was still urinating."
Mr. Ding said: "If you had the intention to hurt Mr. Jia, an apology would not be enough. The child had no intention of harming him."
"Could it only be considered hurt if you shoot a hole through me or scare me out?" Jia Cong waved his hands and said, "That's all, I just don't know what you can test by sending two children here?"
"Mr. Jia said they are children, how old is Mr. Jia?" Jia Cong was startled. Mr. Ding stared at him and said, "Mr. Jia is only two years older than Quan Zi. I heard in the early years that Mr. Jia was young and mature.
I don't quite understand that Mr. Jia, as the young master of the Rongguo Mansion, was favored by the pardoner since his childhood. Later, he became a disciple of Lin Hai and Su Zheng, and he was very happy to be his teacher. He also had the support of Mr. Jarvis.
You are also friends with Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan and other princes and grandsons, and the wise king values you, so how can you become an adult when you have had a smooth life since you were young?"
Jia Cong felt guilty secretly and opened his eyes wide: "Temperature is innate, is it worth testing? How free are you, Mr. Ding?"
Mr. Ding said: "Young people are easily angered by the four words "drinking, sex and wealth. Mr. Jia really doesn't look like a man of his age."
Jia Cong twitched his lips: "It's a good thing Mr. Ding doesn't know Holmes, otherwise he would be angry to death in vain."
"Who is Sherlock Holmes?"
"A person who is difficult to provoke," Jia Cong said. "This person is too smart. In his eyes, most people in the world are fools, and he looks down upon them."
"It turns out that Mr. Jia doesn't like the two of them."
"Moreover, I have known the King of Shu since I was very young. Mr. Ding wants to know what my temperament is, so it is better to ask him than to rashly send two children to test me."
Mr. Ding was good-tempered and was not annoyed at all. He gave another salute. Then he asked Jia Cong like a normal person what the "comprehensive university" he said to the King of Shu was and how to do it. Jia Cong had nothing to do with him, so he tried to persuade Shu. Wang Jian went to university because he wanted to do it, so he had to put aside his discomfort and start talking about it in detail from the beginning.
The two of them talked about it until the second watch, and they had just started. Chen Ruijin came out with a midnight snack and said: "Third Master, it's time to rest."
Jia Cong touched the back of his head and said, "I really can't finish it in just a moment."
Mr. Ding wondered: "It seems that Mr. Jia has known what this comprehensive university is like for a long time. Has Mr. Jia seen it?"
"The West has long existed." Jia Cong said, "Several of my husbands have studied in the West. If I didn't know that there are many benefits, what would I do for the prince?"
Mr. Ding nodded and said: "I see." He declined the late-night snack and stood up to leave. Jia Cong wished that he would leave quickly, so he said a few polite words and sent him to the gate of the courtyard because he was so interested in building a university. .
Back inside, Jia Cong hurriedly asked Jia Xu: "The fifth uncle must have arranged spies here for the King of Shu. Do you know the origin of this person named Ding?"
Jia Xu smiled and said: "This person must be Ding Wangji."
"How did his parents choose the name?" Jia Cong grinned, "It's like a Buddhist name."
"It was originally a Dharma name." Jia Xu said, "Didn't you see the rosary hanging on his wrist? He grew up in a nunnery."
"ah?"
"Ding Wangji was an abandoned child. He was left at the door of a nunnery in his infancy. The great master took pity on him and adopted him. He was raised until he was seven or eight years old. Because he was a boy, it was inconvenient to stay in a nunnery, so he wanted to send him to a monk's temple. But the sister-in-law who usually took care of him was reluctant to leave and took care of him in the same hospital." Jia Xu said, "Later Ding Wangji became the staff of the Sixth Prince, and he was very valued. When the world was divided into feudal states, Ding Wangji wanted to join the Sixth Prince. Shu, he took his nun adoptive mother to Shu and now lives in Zhaojue Temple."
Jia Cong cupped his cheek and said, "He actually repays his kindness. Did I think wrong just now?"
"Huh? What were you thinking about?"
Jia Cong then recounted his speculation about how Guo Shu would arrange his illegitimate son, and then said: "The illegitimate children raised by Mr. Guo will always pick on wealthy families. How come Guo Shu's illegitimate son was abandoned in a nunnery? It stands to reason that a bastard should be treated as an enemy. Military advisors should be very meticulous and thoughtful."
Jia Xu said: "Guo Shu has offended more than one prince, so naturally he has to hide his illegitimate child in a secret and safe way. The nunnery happens to be hidden and safe."
"But there is a risk in the nunnery and the temple. It is very likely that the child will become a monk." Jia Cong said, "Why did he hide the illegitimate child? Is it to continue the family line? Mr. Guo chose a concubine and his husband's surname Guo."
Liu Feng said from the side: "Guo Shu told Guo Sanshui that if he died, his enemy would be the Sixth Prince. How could it be such a coincidence? His illegitimate son happened to be with the Sixth Prince?"
"That's right!" Jia Cong high-fived, "Could it be that Ding Wangji's biological mother is a spy from the Sixth Prince's family? Oops, I suddenly felt that the word 'Wangji' is not an ordinary Buddhist name. It is not homophonic with 'forget'." What?" He had already imagined a bloody drama.
Chen Ruijin said: "How can a boy be raised in a nunnery? After the child grew up and got married, he moved his nun adoptive mother from the capital to Chengdu, which is also strange. In my opinion, his biological mother is the sister-in-law who raised him .”
Everyone's eyes lit up. Jia Cong hurriedly said: "Yes! Yes, yes! The nunnery was originally a place outside the world. Guo Shu hooked up with an aunt so that the child could be born in the nunnery and raised in the nunnery. I'm afraid that he will have a relationship with the nunnery. This sister-in-law has agreed that the child will not become a monk."
Liu Feng said: "It's just that the child's surname is Ding?"
Chen Ruijin said: "Xu's aunt's surname is Ding." She smiled and said, "This aunt must not have been an aunt at first. Because she became pregnant before marriage, she became a aunt to hide the matter. I guess her original life experience was not from a low-class family."
Jia Cong suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of which, in the Ding Chengwu family of the former Jingying Jiedushi, do any sisters, daughters, or anything like that, have become monks?"
Liu Feng said: "Yes. If this woman comes from a family in the camp of Prince Xian Yi Zhong, it would make sense."
Jia Cong said hurriedly: "Ah? Have you figured it out? Then you can deal with it and I'll rest. I've been talking for most of the night." Jia Xu teased him.
Liu Feng took a sip of tea and said: "We first saw that Mr. Guo, in order to avoid being exterminated, exchanged his son with his wife for other people's homes, and had fornication with many married men to raise children. In other people's homes, Guo Shu was different from him. Mr. Guo and his adoptive father Guo Sanshui were proficient in the art of tunnels and tunnels. They helped Jiannan Jiedushi Fang Xiong build many tunnels. It was obvious that he would be killed sooner or later. Guo Shu was the The detailed work sent by the Supreme Emperor to the camp of Prince Uizada. His lord is the emperor and has already won. Not to mention his extremely high achievements, there were not many talented people around the Supreme Emperor who could do anything in the early years. Isn't he a little mediocre? There may not be many capable masters who take refuge in him."
Jia Xu nodded and said, "It's really not much. After Guo Shu's death, the Supreme Emperor was heartbroken for half a year."
"Therefore, Guo Shu was not a person who had to die back then." Liu Feng said, "It was just that he offended Prince Yi Zhong and the Sixth Prince. One of them died, and the other never came to power. If this woman had an affair with him She was a young lady from a wealthy family. She became pregnant with his fetus and was abandoned by him, so she had to become a nun. Then he killed her entire family... If this woman wanted to take revenge, she couldn't do it on her own. , the only choice is which prince to seek refuge with. At that time, among the princes, the one who was the strongest and had a grudge against Guo Shu was the Sixth Prince, wasn't he?"
"Damn it!" Jia Cong couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "If this is really the case, this woman is a real person! I admire her!"
Jia Xu asked: "Why do you suspect Ding Chengwu?"
"Because this person's surname is Ding!" Jia Cong said, "and he is probably Guo Shu's illegitimate son. The relationship between Guo Shu and Prince Yizhong is easy to associate. Are there any other important people named Ding under Prince Yizhong? "
"Commissioner Ding Cheng is actually his confidant."
Jia Cong shrugged and said, "It's easier to get to know a woman from a close general's family and a romantic military advisor. Write a letter and ask Mr. Gong first."
So he hurriedly wrote an urgent letter to Gong Sanyi. Since they didn't take the pigeon with them, Chen Ruijin wanted to send it to Jia's Horse Racing Company. Jia Xu said, "I'll send it away elsewhere. Cong'er has been too eye-catching these days, and the horse If the bank guarantee is not in order, someone will be watching.”
Jia Cong hurriedly poured him tea: "Fifth uncle, thank you for your hard work!"
Everyone dispersed for a while, and Jia Cong went to Chen Ruijin's room as usual to tell the story of three hundred years later. Chen Ruijin seemed to have no energy and leaned lazily on his chair. Jia Cong looked at him for a while and praised: "I am really capable.
!" Chen Ruijin glanced at him. Jia Cong approached her and said, "Girls like you are the hardest to chase. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because I have been trained as a robot since I was a child." Jia Cong said, "His emotions and anger are invisible, and his likes and dislikes are invisible. It is difficult to guess a girl's mind, and you are used to pretending to be invisible, with a poker face all year round. You
Look, you’ve made a lot more movements and expressions recently!" He said smugly, "This is all my fault."
Chen Ruijin said with a smile: "It is indeed your fault." Then he exhaled, "I am thinking about Ding Wangji's mother. If she is really a young lady from a wealthy family, her discipline will be extremely strict, and she will hardly have the opportunity to have personal relationships with others.
Love, on the other hand, is not that stupid."
"When a person is in love, his mind becomes dizzy and he cannot remember anything." Jia Cong held his chin and looked at her, "When you are by my side, you are everything; when you are not by my side, everything is you."
Chen Ruijin glanced at him: "I'm talking about serious business."
"Miss, we are in love, what are we talking about?" Jia Cong complained, "That woman deserves it. She knew she was a married man and still hooked up with him. How could she dare to conclude that he would marry her?"
Chen Ruijin said: "Background. Guo Shu was originally a commoner's son, and the wife he married must not be from a well-established family. If this person is not a spy sent by the enemy, and Prince Yi Zhong ascends to the throne in the future, he will definitely change his wife.
Ding Chengwu, the governor of the Beijing camp, is the other arm of Prince Yi Zhong." She raised her head, "I'm afraid, this woman is not secretly having an affair with Guo Shu."
"You mean, the Ding family plotted against Guo Shu?"
Chen Ruijin said: "It's possible that the Ding family plotted against Guo Shu; Guo Shu climbed up the ladder in order to gain the trust of Prince Yi Zhong. It's also possible that Prince Yi Zhong wanted to tie Guo Shu down and ordered the Ding family to marry him. Guo Shu
As long as Shu’s wife is a commoner’s girl, it’s as if she didn’t. Guo Shu is also a womanizer.”
"That's it..." Jia Cong thought, "If this matter is not Miss Ding's fault, we can take action."
"Um?"
Jia Cong said: "Miss Ding must be feeling injustice and hatred in her heart. But she is not necessarily very loyal to the King of Shu. She is just using him to take revenge. If Ding Wangji is responsible for the university in the future, in order to pacify our teacher
, Ding Wangji has to deal with him. It just so happens that I don’t like him very much.”
Chen Ruijin said with a smile: "Because someone exposed that you don't act like a young man?"
Jia Cong looked to the sky and said: "There are so many young people who don't pay attention to disputes of spirit."
"What he said is right. Most young people who live a smooth life can't stand being provoked and compete with others. Even if you don't pick on others, you won't refuse to fight if you provoke them." Chen Ruijin said, "You have this temperament in your early years.
Liu Dengxi was also suspicious."
Jia Cong laughed a few times: "Fortunately, I'm the best at pretending to be a ghost." Nai clapped his hands and said, "Hey, hey, don't think about serious things! Let's talk about poems and songs about wind, flowers, snow, moon, stars and moon!"
Chen Ruijin was just about to speak when he suddenly heard two "swish" and "pop" sounds outside. The two of them stood up at the same time: "Sound arrow!"
He hurried out and held up a candlestick to take a look: he saw an arrow lying brightly in the courtyard, with a letter on it. There were only four words in the letter: Beware of plots. (..)
