Jia Cong overheard the mother and daughter Bai and Fenxiang talking about old things. It turned out that when the two of them escaped to Zhen Yingjia's house, Mr. Zhen Deren asked Fenxiang to memorize thirty-six numbers. Jia Cong came three hundred years later, and immediately
I remembered the password. There were only thirty-six numbers in it. I didn’t know what they were for, and it seemed useless. Then I heard Mr. Bai ask: "What number?"
Fenxiang said: "From one to thirty-six, they are arranged randomly. My grandfather only asked me to remember them and didn't say anything else."
Bai asked anxiously: "How about telling Mr. Jia to go?"
Fenxiang said: "They came unexpectedly, obviously they came here for this matter. If I tell him, wouldn't it be useless? How about letting them silence me?"
Bai Shi said: "Young lady is worrying too much. I don't think Mr. Jia is that kind of person."
Fenxiang shook his head and said: "I don't know, I don't dare to act rashly."
After a long silence, Mrs. Bai finally sighed: "The matter has come to this, let's take it one step at a time. Didn't we come here back then?" Then the two women fell asleep full of worry.
Jia Cong and Wu Xiaoxi quietly slipped out of the secret door. The sky was already full of stars. Jia Cong looked up at the sky and muttered: "Thirty-six. Are the twelve signs of the zodiac multiplied by three?"
Wu Xiaoxi said: "Shouldn't thirty-six be the number of Tiangang Star?"
"It makes sense." Jia Cong touched his neck, "Does it correspond to Water Margin?"
Wu Xiaoxi said with a smile: "Why would you want to go there for no reason? Mr. Zhen works for the Tian family."
Jia Cong looked up at the stars in the sky again and said: "There are only thirty-six numbers. Whether it corresponds to Tiangang or Jinglu, the information is incomplete. Zhen Deren must have other information hidden in other places, or...
" He thought for a while, "Maybe these thirty-six numbers are the last piece of the puzzle."
Wu Xiaoxi glanced at him: "Speak humanly."
Jia Cong explained: "Fenxiang was only four years old at that time, and she hid in Zhen Yingjia and Mrs. Zhen's house under their noses. This can be checked. If someone wants to find out whether Zhen Deren has any descendants, or whether they are
If there are any other clues after the family was wiped out, we will definitely look into Zhen Yingjia's house. Zhen Yingjia has not received special training, so there is always a way to get words out of him."
Wu Xiaoxi thought for a while: "That makes sense. Why don't we try it."
"ah?"
"Isn't Zhen Yingjia still alive?"
Wu Xiaoxi then sent a letter to Jinling. Jia Cong later asked her what method she used, and she only said one word: money. This is a story for later.
The next day, because many people knew that shopkeeper Wu was coming, Wu Xiaoxi was busy talking about business all day long. Jia Cong ordered someone to take the files from Dai Xian's home and look at them. After reading them one by one, he couldn't tell who was suitable to support, which was quite strange.
He had a headache. In the afternoon, he ordered someone to fetch Fenxiang. Fenxiang seemed to have calmed down a lot, and he went into the study and bowed generously.
Jia Cong pointed to the file on the desk and said, "This is the information on the men of the Dai family. Take a look and see if it's correct."
Fenxiang smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Jia, I don't know the words."
Jia Cong pouted and said, "That's right. Zhen Yingjia is so stingy that he doesn't even teach you how to read."
Fenxiang lowered his head and said, "I am just a servant in their house."
"It's easy to choose a smart girl to read." Jia Cong said, "All the eldest maids in our family can read, and there are a few who can write articles." A hint of envy appeared in Fenxiang's eyes. Jia Cong only said
Without checking, he said sternly, "I came to Fuzhou this time to cooperate with Dai Xian, and I was a little worried that Dai Xian himself was too greedy and would cooperate with us openly and secretly dig holes. You are in Dai's house
After many years, do you think anyone in their family is reliable? Be it the young master, the important steward or the staff."
Fenxiang asked: "Mr. Jia wants to install a spy in the Dai family?"
"That's not true. I just want to find a reliable partner." Jia Cong said, "It's not like they don't have Xizuo. I can get the information from Xizuo's boss, so I don't have to arrange it myself. It's too expensive to support Xizuo.
.”
Fenxiang thought for a moment and said, "If Mr. Jia wants to do business with the Dai family, only I can be reliable."
"Do you think Dai Xian is reliable?"
Fenxiang shook his head: "Regardless of whether it is reliable or not, only the master makes the decision in the Dai family, and others are useless."
Jia Cong glanced at her: "If you were given an identity and asked to serve as Dai Xian's staff and blatantly represent me, would you be able to do that?"
Fenxiang was startled: "What does Mr. Jia mean?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Please be the special envoy of our Taiwan government and co-director with Mr. Dai Xian. Just treat him as a professional manager. I need Dai Xian to build new roads, expand factories, change students' teaching materials, etc. If possible,
You secretly followed Dai Xian and Huang Wengang, it will be better if you can suppress them in the future."
Fenxiang was stunned for a while: "Then... isn't there a bad person who is investigating our family's affairs?"
Jia Cong shrugged and said, "Don't you even know who they are now? We can't wait in vain. Miss Zhen, in one word, do it or not."
Fenxiang thought for a moment and said crisply: "Do it!"
Jia Cong clapped his hands: "You have courage!"
There was a hint of pride in Fenxiang's eyes: "What others can do, I can do too."
Jia Cong laughed and asked, "Do you have your original name? It was given by the Zhen family."
"No." Fenxiang said, "The girl has never been named. It's okay to call her Fenxiang. I'm used to it."
Jia Cong nodded: "That's okay. I'll send someone to apply for household registration for you tomorrow, just Zhen Fenxiang?" Fenxiang glanced at him in surprise and silently bowed. Jia Cong stood up and looked at her seriously and said, "I'd rather
The thing I don't like is the contract of prostitution. I hope Miss Zhen will understand in the future that people should not be slaves." He put his hands behind his back and walked out.
The next day, Mrs. Dai came to the door early. Jia Cong was still sleeping in, so he ordered someone to send Fenxiang out to see her. Fenxiang was originally wearing homely old clothes, but when he heard that his old master was coming, he hesitated for a moment and went back.
She changed into new clothes. Someone from Red Bones gave her two pieces of satin yesterday. She was so happy that she hurriedly made a new one for her.
Mrs. Dai was waiting in the hall while supporting her maid. She was stamping her feet anxiously when she looked up and saw Fenxiang coming out from behind. She was wearing a brand new satin shirt and hurriedly greeted her: "Fenxiang!"
Fenxiang lowered her eyebrows and said, "Mrs."
Mrs. Dai said anxiously: "What's going on!"
Fenxiang said: "Mr. Jia saw that I was clever and sighed, 'What a pity', so he sent someone to ask the master to beg me."
Mrs. Dai said angrily: "You are mine, how can he just ask for it? Does he want to take you into the house?"
Fenxiang shook his head and said: "Mr. Jia asked someone to register as a good citizen for me and do things for him. He said he wanted to partner with our master, but he was very busy and had no time to stay in Fujian day and night, so he ordered me to be some kind of 'special envoy'.
Anyway, he is similar to the chief steward, guarding him in Fujian."
Mrs. Dai was stunned after hearing this, and asked after a while: "Mr. Jia wants to partner with the master and let you be his steward in Fujian?" Fenxiang nodded. Mrs. Dai and the maid next to her looked at each other for a long time, then turned back and said, "You
You're a woman, why would you be sent to something so important?"
Fenxiang said: "Women in Taiwan have already done things like men."
The eldest maid couldn't help but interjected: "Isn't he afraid that you will cheat our master?"
Fenxiang lowered his head: "I don't know."
Mrs. Dai and the eldest maid looked at each other for a long time. It was obvious that they had never thought of such a situation and did not know how to deal with it. After a while, she said: "You...really want to do something for him?"
Fenxiang was a little panicked and said hesitantly: "Mr. Jia said so, he must have to teach me something."
Seeing her look like this, Mrs. Dai calmed down, took her hand and said, "Since Mr. Jia has taken a fancy to you, he is a world-famous talent, so he must have his reasons. Just help him honestly."
Okay. If there is someone who doesn’t know how to do it, you can ask others for advice.”
Fenxiang became more and more timid, and after a while he hesitated and said: "According to Mr. Jia's words...I...I'm not working in the shop, I...I want to pretend to be the master's staff, and help the master openly. In fact,
He is the special envoy sent by Mr. Jia."
Mrs. Dai asked curiously: "Working in the Yamen?"
Fenxiang nodded: "Mr. Jia asked me to pretend to be a man. My real surname is Zhen, and Fenxiang is a woman's name, so he gave me an alias called Zhen Hui. He also said that he would ask Mr. Jia to teach me how to read, and I will go to the master tomorrow instead.
Around me, let others call me Mr. Zhen."
Mrs. Dai looked her up and down for a long time: "Mr. Zhen! That's interesting." Then she took a closer look at her face - this Fenxiang is really plain in appearance, nothing outstanding; she is also her confidant. If she is by the master's side, she will look better than others.
It was more appropriate. Nai couldn't help squeezing her hand and said, "What a Mr. Zhen." Fenxiang just lowered her eyebrows and did not remind her that she was about to get rid of her slave status.
After Mrs. Dai came out of The Red Bones, she happily went to the Yamen to see Dai Xian and told him: "I told him that girl's appearance is not outstanding. Mr. Jia cannot possibly fall in love with her."
Dai Xian saw that she had been extremely anxious two days ago and was so happy today, so he asked what was going on. Then Mrs. Dai told him everything. Dai Xian was surprised: "Jia Cong said that the person named Fenxiang
Is this girl his special envoy in Fujian?"
Mrs. Dai added: "I have to dress up as a man and act as a master in front of the master."
Dai Xian was originally sitting on the official hat chair. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly stood up. Didn't you ask me to be the governor of Fujian? What's the purpose of sending a special envoy? This special envoy is still a maid from my house? Come to think of it.
I wanted to go, but I didn't know what Jia Cong was playing. The man who ordered me took out the clothes from the door, changed them, and left. Mrs. Dai said hurriedly from behind: "Where are you going, sir?" Dai Xian did not hear, and moved like flying.
Not long after, Dai Xian arrived at Red Bones and handed in a post asking to see Jia Cong. The clerk took the post in and asked around, and then came out and said, "We don't have anyone named Jia Cong here." Dai Xian thought for a while, as if Jia Cong
I came to Red Bones as a guest, and asked to meet Wu Xiaoxi. The waiter said, "Shopkeeper Wu is really busy, and the reservations are full until the day after tomorrow. Why don't you, Mr. Dai, make reservations first and make reservations the day after tomorrow?"
The boy next to Dai Xian shouted: "How brave! You don't even know who our master is."
Dai Xian waved his hand and asked, "Do you know that there is a gentleman named Jia in your house who is from Taiwan?"
The waiter was stunned: "Mr. Jia! That round-faced one? He is a customer, not from our store."
Dai Xian smiled and said, "I just came to see him."
The waiter muttered: "So I met him. Didn't you tell me earlier... He is so idle that I don't know if he has gone out for a walk." Dai Xian was dumbfounded. Suddenly the waiter came back and said, "I don't know where that gentleman is."
My god, I slept until the sun was high and didn’t get up until the sun was high. I just finished breakfast. Master Dai, please follow me."
Dai Xian coughed, stood up slowly, dusted his clothes, put his hands behind his hands and said, "Lead the way." The young man behind him was also very arrogant, as if he had been promoted along with the master.
Entering the courtyard where Jia Cong lived, Jia Cong was lying on the stone table and feeling sleepy. Dai Xian found it funny and watched the guy push him a few times: "Mr. Jia, the sun is shining on your buttocks!"
Jia Cong closed his eyes, pointed upward, and murmured: "There are banyan trees above to provide shelter from rain and sun."
Dai Xian sat across from him with a smile: "What did Mr. Jia do last night? Why are you so sleepy?"
Jia Cong said lazily: "I just counted a few stars..." He suddenly looked up and saw Dai Xian. He was startled and quickly stood up and cupped his hands, "Um, Mr. Dai, you are rude and rude!"
Dai Xian laughed loudly: "As the ancients said, it is true celebrities who are famous for their reputation, and Mr. Jia is well-deserved."
Jia Cong shook his head repeatedly and bowed to him again: "I'm ashamed to be born late." Then he sat down and asked, "You must be very busy, aren't you? Why do you have time to come here?"
Dai Xian said: "I want to ask what happened to that maid."
Jia Cong smiled slightly, took out a sign from his pocket and handed it to him. Dai Xian took it and took a look, and was shocked: it was engraved with the three words "Jinyiwei". Jia Cong said: "I still have the imperial edict, wait for this Fennel
I’ll show it to you after I’ve taught it.”
Dai Xian felt anxious, and after a while he asked: "Who does Mr. Jia belong to?"
Jia Cong blinked: "Who cares? The sky is high and the emperor is far away, Fujian and Taiwan are connected, hello, me, hello, everyone." Dai Xian raised another hand and gestured above his head.
It suddenly dawned on him: covering the sky with one hand. This guy was probably coaxed by King Yan and the little saint. Jia Cong looked at him and smiled, stretched out two fingers and turned the Jin Yiwei's waist badge in a circle on the stone table.
, "Since it is..." He raised his chin towards the north, "The two are a partnership," he tapped his waist card again, "I have to put someone by your side, right? Otherwise," he winked, "how can I feel at ease?
Woolen cloth?"
Dai Xian looked at him and couldn't help laughing up to the sky, laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist. Jia Cong just looked at him with a smile and sifted a cup of tea for him with his own hands. Dai Xian finally stopped laughing and picked up the tea to drink.
After taking a sip, he put down the cup again and laughed, spilling the tea all over the table. He pointed at Jia Cong and was speechless. Jia Cong shook his head, sifted a new cup of tea for him, and filled it for himself, then raised it
Dai Xian also raised his tea cup. The two clinked their cups and drank the tea instead of wine without saying a word.
After having tea for a while longer, Jia Cong said: "I was originally worried that there was no suitable candidate, so your ladyship sent me this fennel. By the way, things in Fuzhou are so slow. I sent her to apply for household registration yesterday.
When can it be done?”
Dai Xian said: "This is easy, just take my post." Nai stroked his beard and asked, "But I don't know how big an official job Jin Yiwei gave her?"
Jia Cong said: "I don't know. I have to send a letter to Beijing to ask. No matter how old he is, Mr. Zhen is your staff."
After a long while, Dai Xian gave Jia Cong a thumbs up: "Mr. Jia is a really good choice!"
Jia Cong said with a smile: "I don't dare to take credit for being late. This special envoy Zhen was trained by my wife." Dai Xian seemed to have a laughing bug worming his way into his heart, and he slapped the table and laughed again.
