The Xue family's fleet has been waiting at the Qinghe County pier on the north bank of the Huai River for two full days. When the Jia family's ship docked at the pier, Xue Pan had long since turned into a "Wang Fu Stone" and was looking at it.
Compared with the last time they got together in Jinling, Jia Cong was in a much lower mood this time.
At the invitation of Mrs. Xue, Jia She and his son, Daiyu and his entourage transferred to the Xue family's own ship. Yu Linlang, who was accompanying them, escorted the passenger ship in front and back, and quickly headed north to leave the Jianghuai area.
In Jiangnan, chaos is gradually rising.
Party strife, academic strife, Japanese pirates, White Lotus Sect...
Jia She's face was bruised and bruised. He stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the ships going north and south. He had so many thoughts and he didn't know how to suppress the anger in his heart.
"San'er..."
"father!"
The father and son called each other, but could not speak.
After a long time, Jia She sighed, and then gritted his teeth and said, "When you return to Beijing, dad will take you to beat people!"
"My son also has this idea. The idea of not hitting my son is unreasonable."
Jia Cong touched the warm jade that Lin Ruhai had given him before, and his irritable heart was slightly relieved. When the ship arrived at Huai'an yesterday, Jia She deliberately stayed at Huai'an Mansion for a night. He rushed into the governor's office before dark and beat the loyal and shun king Liu Ke into a pig's head. Of course, he almost became a pig's head himself.
The two major dandies in the capital staged a hand-to-hand fight in the courtyard of the Governor's Palace of Water Transport, and Pei Weisheng was so frightened that he dared not speak.
Before leaving, Jia Cong also took away all the "pork jerky" collected by Liu Ke. When he was leaving the gate of the Governor's Mansion, Jia Cong seemed to hear Liu Ke's cries of grief and indignation. After taking a bite of the jerky, he felt much better. .
Jia Cong didn't ask his father who he wanted to beat when he returned to Beijing, and Jia She didn't explain too much. The father and son stood at the bow of the boat and blew the cold wind for a long time before returning to the cabin.
"Hey, Brother Cong, Uncle Eleven said that when he goes to the capital, he will teach me how to practice martial arts!"
Xue Pan ran over from the stern of the ship holding a very showy long knife and showed off to Jia Cong ecstatically.
After seeing Jia She, he immediately became extremely well-behaved and said, "Well done, Mr. She!"
Jia She waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't have so many rules in the future, you two can go play..."
With that said, he strolled forward and continued walking. Just as Xue Pan breathed a sigh of relief, Jia She's voice came again: "Brother Pan, come here, I have something to ask you!"
…
Xue Pan was called into the cabin by Jia She. After entering, Jia She asked directly without any hesitation: "Your mother took you and Bao Yatou to the capital. In addition to temporarily avoiding the turmoil in Jiangnan, did you have anything else to do?"
"ah?"
Jia She's question made Xue Pan confused. He scratched his head and patted his forehead after a long time: "I remembered that my mother received a letter from my uncle before, and then she made up her mind to go to the capital as soon as possible."
"Do you know the content of the letter..."
Xue Pan shook his head and said nonchalantly: "My uncle hasn't written to me often in the past few years. Maybe he misses his family and invites my mother to Beijing for a reunion."
Jia She thought of the imperial merchant Xue Gong who once dominated the business world with ease, and couldn't help but secretly sighed that Xue Pan was really too naive.
If the Xue family is really handed over to him, if it lasts for three to five years, it will be considered as smoke rising from the Xue family's ancestral grave. ….
What kind of person is Wang Ziteng? Would he do such useless work?
Jia Cong thought for a moment and said, "Father, it's better for my son to ask his aunt directly. The situation in the DPRK and China is complicated now. If you make a wrong step, you may step into an abyss. We have to guard against it!"
"Ah? Brother Cong, is there any danger to my family if we enter the capital?"
Xue Pan was even more confused now, but Jia She patted him on the shoulder and explained: "It's not dangerous, I'm just worried that your family has been deceived. In this way, you two go to your mother and say it's me I’m asking, what exactly did your uncle’s letter say?”
In Xue Pan's heart, Jia She's prestige was comparable to that of the gods. After hearing Jia She's instructions, he immediately patted his chest and went to another cabin with Jia Cong.
After knocking on the door and entering, the Xue family's mother and daughter were sorting out the account books.
This time when they came to Beijing, most of the Xue family's shops in Jiangnan were sold, replaced with silver notes and put in the cash box.
Seeing Xue Pan leading Jia Cong in, Mrs. Xue asked doubtfully: "Didn't you go to learn martial arts with Mr. Eleven? Why did you come back so soon?"
Without waiting for Xue Pan to respond, she enthusiastically pulled Jia Cong to sit in front of him, brought a plate of exquisite snacks and said, "Brother Cong, sit down quickly and try your sister Bao's new snacks."
"Mom, my son wants to eat too!"
Xue Pan watched his own mother warmly greet Jia Cong and eat delicious snacks, while his sister made tea with her own hands, feeling like she was picked up.
It wasn't until Baochai handed him a cup of tea that he sat aside aggrievedly and took a sip, which made it even more bitter.
Jia Cong tasted a piece of snack and praised it before getting down to business.
After listening to Jia Cong's question, Mrs. Xue hesitated whether to answer truthfully. However, Baochai's eyes filled with hope and she gently shook Mrs. Xue's arm.
"Mom, Brother Cong is right. Although our family is not a family of officials, Huangshang Huangshang has the title of emperor after all. We don't know the situation in the DPRK, so we should let the pardoner analyze it for us, just in case. If we make the wrong move, the Xue family will be destroyed in our hands."
Xue Jiabaochai is worthy of being the think tank of the Xue family.
Mrs. Xue was silent for a long time, and finally turned the hesitation in her heart into a long sigh, and said to Jia Cong: "Pan'er's uncle has sent two letters, hoping that Sister Bao will participate in next year's small election and earn a share for the Xue family. The future is coming!"
"Bang!"
Jia Cong slapped the table beside him, startling the Xue family, mother and son, in the cabin.
"Brother Cong..."
"Sure enough, it's another trick to sell your niece. Doesn't he, Wang Ziteng, have any other skills? Selling his niece to scheme against others is shameless and inhumane!"
Jia Cong was very irritable, and the eldest sister in the palace was still suffering. Prince Teng was not good at it, and he had the idea of another niece.
In the original work, Xue Pan was involved in a life-threatening lawsuit, and Baochai failed to pass the primary election for some reason. But now that Feng Yuan is not dead, as long as Wang Ziteng makes a little effort, there will definitely be no problem with Baochai entering the palace.
Who is the last person in the Xue family who can support the family business? Isn't it Baochai?
When Baochai entered the Forbidden City, relying on the weak-tempered Mrs. Xue and the stubborn Xue Pan, within two years, the Xue family should change their surname to Wang.
And with Wang Ziteng holding the Xue family's mother and son, how could Baochai in the palace not obey his orders? ….
Tsk tsk tsk!
Wang Ziteng, Wang Ziteng, you really deserve to be the most ruthless and calculating person in the four major families of Jia, Wang, Xue and Shi.
"mother……"
Xue Baochai's voice brought the angry Jia Cong back to his senses. He took a closer look and saw that Mrs. Xue looked unhappy. Xue Pan's long mouth looked at the person who had just scolded his uncle.
Only Baochai held her mother's arm worriedly and shook it gently.
Jia Cong explained bluntly: "Auntie may not know that it was Uncle Wang who personally arranged for my eldest sister Yuan Chun to enter the palace..."
"How is it possible? Sister Yuan is the eldest daughter of the government, how can she be Xiaoxuan?"
Mrs. If you have the chance, you will soar into the sky..."
"My nephew went to the palace to pay homage before coming to Jiangnan. When I saw my eldest sister, she had just been punished and was working exhaustingly cleaning the Fengxian Palace alone."
Jia Cong cursed sadly and angrily: "The eldest daughter of the Duke's palace, her grandmother is the wife of Chaopinguo, her uncle is a first-class Shenwei general, and her uncle is the commander of the county, Jingyingjie, Du Taiwei." Du Shi... Aunt, how many years has it been since the eldest sister entered the palace? She is still a rankless female official in her twenties and has been bullied to this extent. Do you think Sister Bao can be better than the eldest sister when she goes to the palace? "
"But...but it was Sister Bao's uncle who mentioned this matter..."
Mrs. Xue was just about to say that an uncle would never harm her own niece, but when she thought of Jia Cong talking about Yuanchun's situation, she immediately felt a stabbing pain in her head and collapsed.
on the bed.
"mother……"
"Mother……"
"Is aunt okay?"
Jia Cong hurriedly stepped forward to check on Mrs. Xue's condition, only to see that Mrs. Xue's face was pale and her hands were trembling.
His eyes were full of disbelief, and his lips were trembling as he repeated: "Impossible, brother will not harm me..."
well!
Baochai looked at Jia Cong pleadingly, and Jia Cong nodded and said, "I'll go find Mr. Li right now!"
…
Mrs. Xue was just frightened for a moment, and she was much better after taking the decoction.
Jia She came here in person, not caring about etiquette or not. He closed the door and discussed with Mrs. Xue secretly for a long time.
When Daiyu came after hearing the news, Jia Cong and the Xue brothers were waiting quietly outside the cabin.
"Brother Cong...Sister Bao, is aunt okay?"
Baochai felt warm in her heart when she saw that Daiyu herself was still pretty and pale, and the sadness on her brows had not gone away. However, after receiving the news, she got up from the bed to visit her mother.
She stepped forward and held Daiyu's hand and replied: "I've already taken the medicine. Mr. Li said it was just a temporary fright, and it will be fine after a few more doses of medicine. Why did my sister come out? It's windy on the river. It's very dangerous if I catch a cold." How’s that?”
Daiyu smiled slightly and said, "It's okay. I've been suffocating in the cabin for a long time. It's better to go out for a walk..."
There was a creak and the sound of the cabin door opening interrupted their conversation.
Jia She walked out of the cabin, glanced at everyone, rubbed Jia Cong's head, and said to Baochai and Xue Pan: "After returning to Beijing, you and your mother will go to live in Rongguo Mansion first. Brother Pan will go to the clan school to study while practicing martial arts with his own soldiers. As for Bao Yatou's matter, I will take care of it, so you can rest assured."
Xue Baochai quickly bowed and thanked him. Although Xue Pan was extremely unhappy with the sentence of joining the family to study, he did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Jia She and followed his sister in bowing down.
Jia She waved his hands indifferently and said, "You go and serve your mother. Brother Cong and Girl Yu will follow me."
…
Jia She looked at his youngest son who was spreading a blanket for Daiyu and passing hot tea to ask after her. Instead of feeling that his son was worthless, Jia She nodded slightly in appreciation.
After Daiyu reminded Jia Cong in a low voice with a blushing face, Jia She coughed lightly and briefly recounted the conversation between him and Mrs. Xue.
He finally sighed deeply and said, "You see, how vulnerable a family is after losing its leader. Brother Cong, you are now carrying the hopes of Jia and Lin, so you should work hard." Already!"
