But it was said that Jia Baoyu decided to cut off contact with Miaoyu because he missed others. Jia Cong was very happy. Compared with himself, Jia Baoyu respected Shi Taijun sincerely, and he would definitely pass this respect to Taoist Zhenming.
For an old man who has gone through many vicissitudes of life, flattery may not be enough, but the sincerity and filial piety of the younger generation may not be enough to hold him back.
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, Jia Cong received a stack of notes before he even opened his eyes. This stack contained a whole long rhyme. Jia Cong woke up after looking at it and couldn't help but snap: "What a poem!"
In the evening, I read some poems written by Baoyu outside. Going out to see the world is indeed a good cure for the second grade. His original cynical and literary taste has been reduced, the gorgeous rhetoric has faded, and the writing style is much more practical. It’s just that in the second grade,
Erwenqinghua is the three major selling points of Shenying Waiter. Without these three items, there may be fewer buyers, which is a pity for Jia Cong. Now that I saw this, I suddenly felt that a new product had been developed.
He hurriedly got up to eat breakfast and change clothes. Then he ran to the next door and said hello to Chen Ruijin: "I'm going to Tandu Temple to discuss business with Master Miaoyu."
Chen Ruijin asked curiously: "What kind of business are we discussing with her?"
Jia Cong took out the stack of paper from his arms and said, "It was probably Brother Baoyu who wrote to her to cut off all contact. She thought I had misunderstood that there was something shameful between the two of her, and she felt aggrieved, so she wrote this to complain. Well,
Clarify. Take a look."
Chen Ruijin picked up the paper and looked at it from the beginning, and said with a smile: "The poetry committee is really good at writing, but she thinks too highly of herself."
Jia Cong blinked and said, "This is called 'There are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me.'" Chen Ruijin gave him a sideways look. Jia Cong touched the back of his head, "I always feel that others are deliberately misinterpreting and slandering her. She is so clean that I wish I could die to prove it."
Innocence. Brother Baoyu’s writing style used to have this flavor, but it is much less so now. But this kind of article is very easy to sell.”
Chen Ruijin was dumbfounded: "You don't want Master Miaoyu to sell his writings, do you? How can she agree?"
Jia Cong said: "After the two old men of the Bai family died, the tea she drank was provided by the Wang family's uncle, and it was so expensive. The Wang family and Prince Xianyi Zhong had nothing to do with each other. For the sake of old man Gong Sanyi, he protected her.
As long as she returns safely, there is no obligation to provide her with tea. In the early years, she was still cooking tea with the Zhong family." Then she took up the note and left.
Guangzhou was originally the territory of Wang Ziteng, and he also brought people with him, so Chen Ruijin did not go with him. Gong Kun, the wise man, got the letter from Jia Cong and said that he wanted to find out the items shipped from Chang'an Fenglong Rice.
After checking, they picked out the people from the Qi State Mansion. They immediately understood that those two people were doing something good in Shu State. So they sorted out the list and sent it to the house in Guangzhou. Jia Cong and the others used to stay at Prince Teng's house first when they came, so they naturally went there.
The owner of the house called him and the list was sent over. Chen Ruijin sat idle in the yard and took a look at the list.
Suddenly, a maid from Prince Teng's house came over to chat with her, talking about food, clothing, clothing, and what kind of women she liked. Chen Ruijin was in a good mood, so he went back and took this girl.
The eldest maid’s background was revealed. It turned out that she was with Mrs. Wang Ziteng. Wang Ziteng saw that Jia Cong was not young yet and still refused to marry a wife, and often complained about it. The old lady came to help find out, so that she could replace him later.
Looking for a good marriage.
Chen Ruijin smiled secretly in his heart and said in a low voice: "Listening to the inner meaning of Third Master's words, I already have the person I like."
The maid's eyes lit up: "Who is it?"
Chen Ruijin smiled slightly: "It's me."
The maid smiled and gave her an angry look: "I know, some girls should be favored by Third Master Cong. But Third Master will have to marry a decent grandma sooner or later, right?" Chen Ruijin just smiled and said nothing. The maid was a little surprised and suddenly glanced at the table.
"Why does it look like a gift list?"
Chen Ruijin said casually: "That is my dowry list."
Although the maid couldn't read, she couldn't help but take a breath when she saw the extremely long list. She stood up in a hurry and said, "I almost forgot, my wife asked me to pick up something." She hurried away. Chen Ruijin didn't even send it away, but kept chanting.
Saying "Good go", he picked up the list again and looked at it.
On the other side, Jia Cong drove his horse to Tandu Temple and posted a message asking to see Miaoyu. Miaoyu invited him in, but she didn't turn around and just sat on the futon and knocked the wooden fish at the Bodhisattva. Jia Cong became angry: "It's so big.
What a show! Believe it or not, I turned around and told Uncle Wang not to worry about you, I guarantee you will be snatched away tomorrow."
Miaoyu said: "This poor nun is doing it for the third master's own good, so he shouldn't cause any unpleasant gossip."
Jia Cong sneered and said, "Master thinks it's unfair, right? But don't forget that you are just an ordinary sister-in-law. No one has time to understand who you are. People who gossip don't care whether you are clean or not, they only describe you as convenient."
They chew their tongues. Whenever these gossips reach the ears of my second sister-in-law, she will definitely feel uncomfortable. Yes, she is the eldest daughter of the Hou family and the young mistress of the palace. There is a one in ten thousand chance that she will be offended.
I am happy, but I have no choice but to wrong you, an ordinary sister-in-law."
Miaoyu was silent. She had been homeless for more than 20 years, and she knew these things very well. She dared to show shame to Jia Cong, just because she knew that Gong Sanyi was his husband.
"The world has always been a place where the weak have no human rights." Jia Cong said, "Master Miaoyu has no power to tie a chicken. He has lost his parents and family, and has no relatives or friends. When you were snatched away by the king of Chu, the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas did not protect you.
Looking at you. You have a beautiful face and dare not shave your head. It is out of fashion and the power cannot allow you to live a good life. It is all thanks to your aunt who was Princess Yoshitaka. How many of your uncle's group are still alive today?
?Is your life still in danger? You have tea, and someone will provide it to you. Uncle Wang is not your uncle's subordinate."
Miaoyu was speechless and a little embarrassed.
"No one can enjoy a good life for nothing. Is my brother Baoyu a good fortune teller? He still has to write articles and exchange words for money." Jia Cong took out the stack of paper she had sent in the morning from his sleeve.
, "Master Miaoyu is not without his talents. He is good at making tea and writing poems well. I came here to do business with Master. If Master is not willing to be a tea lady and cook tea in exchange for food, clothing and tea money, I will give you this in exchange."
It’s the same thing.”
Miaoyu turned around in shock, looked at him dumbfounded for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I actually spent the whole night writing in vain."
Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "It took me all night to write! No wonder it's so good. Such poems are easy to sell. If Master doesn't want to get into trouble because of his sister-in-law's identity, he can use a pseudonym." Miaoyu recited the Buddha's name. "Or...
If you are tired of being a sister-in-law, you can return to secular life. Your uncle has long been rehabilitated."
Miaoyu remained speechless.
Jia Congnai picked up a pen and wrote a few words on her desk, and sighed softly: "You really have to thank two people. Your aunt, Princess Yizhong, and my husband Gong Sanyi." Then he stood up and said, "I want to understand.
Yes, send someone to tell me."
After he left, Miaoyu moved to the case and took a look. It read:
If you want to be clean, how can you ever be clean? The clouds are not necessarily empty.
Poor gold and jade, eventually sinking into the mud.
Miaoyu couldn't help but feel a sudden panic in her heart, as if she was struck by lightning. Something flashed in front of her eyes and in her ears, but she couldn't grasp what it was. She was extremely talented, and there were too many words in these few sentences that were clear to the world.
The rumored origin of Jia Cong was instantly guessed, and he stood there blankly like a clay statue of a Bodhisattva.
Jia Cong returned to the Governor's Mansion, changed his clothes and came out to tell Chen Ruijin a few words about meeting Miaoyu. Chen Ruijin glanced at him: "Good temper."
Jia Cong said: "Miaoyu has a withdrawn temperament and a noble heart. There is a scholar in later generations, Mr. Cao Xueqin, who I respect very much. She is very fond of her. Besides, it is not the ability to vent one's anger on a weak woman. If she does not exchange poems for money, life will be difficult immediately. Eat
Tea is addictive, and selling articles is not a shameful thing. Why can't I live with money?"
"That's all, there's no need to say that." Chen Ruijin said, "I don't want to know."
Jia Cong glanced at her: "In a bad mood?"
"Good."
Jia Cong didn't believe it, but he didn't know what had offended her, so he made a few jokes beside her. Chen Ruijin was just unhappy for no reason, so he let him coax her for a while and she was fine.
I secretly rejoice: She is becoming more and more like an ordinary woman.
He dragged her out for a stroll, wandering around Guangzhou City, riding horses on the road. Halfway there, he met Jia Baoyu and Zhenming eating snacks on the roadside! Jia Cong was overjoyed and hurriedly came over to eat together. Zhenming was still tense at first.
His face was more like Jia Cong's playful smile. Baoyu listened carefully and relaxed a lot unconsciously. He knew Chen Ruijin's identity, but Jia Baoyu didn't know, so he kept talking about his sister. It's just that he naturally respects women in the world, even if he is a maid.
Underestimating it, Chen Ruijin was a little impressed. With two masters, Zhen Ming and Chen Ruijin, Jia Cong was always hoping that something would happen so that they could fight against each other. Unfortunately, half an hour was wasted and nothing happened.
!I had no choice but to give up, bid farewell to Baoyu and the others, and the two of them continued shopping.
When Baoyu saw the two of them leaving, he frowned and said, "Look at Cong'er's appearance. I like her very much. I'm going to take her in as a sister." Nai sighed, "In the early years, he also said that he was afraid that there would be trouble in the backyard and he didn't want a little wife.
"." Thinking that a gentle and steady woman like Chen Ruijin would fall into the hands of Jia Cong's wife one day, I couldn't help but sigh again.
Zhenming also glanced at it: "Jia Cong's attitude is clearly that he wants to marry her."
Baoyu was stunned for a moment and said, "No way. With his status, how can he marry a maid?"
"Who can control him?"
"My uncle will never agree."
"Jia She can't control him," Zhen Ming said, "Jia Cong has his own ideas. No one else can persuade him about marriage matters, he can only make the decision himself."
Baoyu was silent for a long time and murmured: "He really dares not to listen to the great master." Then Xiang Zhenming said, "Uncle, please don't let my uncle know about this. I'm afraid I will report to his great master. Just in case Cong.
If they have any plans, don't let him mess with them."
Zhenming looked at him a few times and sighed: "Are you really Jia Cong's brother?" Baoyu lowered his head. Zhenming said, "When he didn't offend him, he didn't care about anything. When he offended him, he met gods and killed gods. When he met Buddha,
Kill the Buddha, you have turned upside down. Don’t worry about your own affairs, just listen to others’ affairs.”
Baoyu bowed his head more and more, and it took him a long time to say: "I have discovered it a long time ago. Even if I don't listen to you, it's okay. I'm just used to it."
Zhenming said: "Jia Cong told me when he was in Chengdu that you were made like this by your grandmother, and you are not like a man at all. It's all because of our surname Shi, who raised your grandfather's rare smart grandson into a useless person.
firewood."
Baoyu hurriedly said: "It has nothing to do with our ancestors! It's just that I am incompetent."
Zhenming looked at him with disdain and said: "I am in my twenties, and I have been out and about these days, but I still can't carry my shoulders or lift my hands. How can I look like a man! Starting tonight, I will follow Yuan Shikai
, Liao Shouping marched together."
Baoyu was stunned: "Ah? Uncle, I have no intention of learning martial arts."
"You can't learn martial arts with your arms and legs." Zhen Ming said, "Although Jia Cong talks nonsense, he is right in what he said. Human nature is lazy, and it will not do anything for no reason; human nature is tough, and it is forced to do something.
You can do anything. Since our surname, Shi, has failed you, now we, surnamed Shi, can correct it for you. At least, you can improve your blood." He waved his hand and said, "It's settled."
Hearing this, Jia Baoyu stayed for another half day: "...Ah?!"
That night, Zhenming actually took Jia Baoyu to learn martial arts with the two. The yard was lively. Yuan Shikai was a teenager, Jia Baoyu was in his twenties, and Liao Shouping was almost thirty. All three of them were beginners.
, but both of them were obviously gifted with ideas, and Jia Baoyu was purely a weak scholar. Originally, Yuan Shikai's most brilliant one, Liao Shouping, was a little more clumsy, but now compared with Jia Baoyu, both of them have become top students.
It was only the first night that Baoyu couldn't hold on anymore and refused to practice any more. He asked Jia Cong to ask Zhenming if he could spare himself from learning this. Jia Cong rolled his eyes and said, "Who am I? Didn't I tell you?
?The old man killed a dozen of them in an instant! Really. Instant kill. When you encounter someone with such high strength, you are still an elder, Brother Baoer, please be honest and obedient!"
Baoyu's face fell instantly: "I really don't want to learn that..."
Jia Cong smiled and patted his shoulder: "When we were young, we were all doing horse walking, but you were the only one playing with the maids and sisters. Now it's your turn, hahahaha..." He gestured with joy and danced.
, "The way of heaven is good for reincarnation, who will be spared by heaven——"
Jia Baoyu suddenly remembered something and whispered: "My uncle said, do you want to marry my sister?"
"Yes!" Jia Cong said happily, "He also noticed it. The old man has really good taste."
Baoyu whispered: "Will the eldest master agree?"
"Huh?" Jia Cong looked at him blankly, "I am the one who wants to marry a wife. I just have to tell my father."
Baoyu was stunned for a long time and said: "Everyone in the world has their parents make the final decision on marriage, but you can actually make the decision yourself."
"It's not something I got for nothing," Jia Cong said, "I've been fighting for these years since I was three years old to be able to make my own decisions."
Baoyu sighed, and from then on no longer complained about laziness, and followed Zhenming's steps honestly.
The next day, Mrs. Wang Ziteng secretly sent an old woman to look for Chen Ruijin, saying that she wanted to recognize her as her goddaughter. Chen Ruijin laughed dumbly and declined. She turned back to Jia Cong and said: "Master Wang's wife is a good judge of people, but she didn't come.
I advise you."
Jia Cong said with a smile: "How can a woman who can raise second sister-in-law Lian be worse? It's just that she's not really smart. This move is a bit stupid."
Chen Ruijin nodded and said: "I told that old woman that I will not let Mr. Wang know about this matter. I think she will understand it after a little thought."
"You are still smart." Jia Cong grabbed her hand and said, "We are both young now, why don't we get married as soon as possible? This will save so many outsiders watching the fun."
Chen Ruijin glanced at him: "It's fun to fall in love, let's talk about it some time later." Jia Cong touched his nose and pretended to be pitiful. Chen Ruijin couldn't help laughing. (..)
