Jia Lian's letter was written half a month ago and was sent to the capital along with the official document of the Long Imperial Guard. Cao Jiugong had his confidants personally deliver it to Rongguo Mansion early this morning.
Mr. Pardon was still having fun in front of the imperial city. Mr. Zheng was invited to have a drink by his colleagues from the Ministry of Industry today. The old lady read Jia Lian's letter over and over again, and finally felt that Mr. Cong was more reliable.
Alas, there are still too few useful people in the family.
The old lady looked at Baoyu who was playing with her sisters, smiled helplessly, and asked Yuanyang to go to Dongkuoyuan to see if Jia Cong had woken up.
As soon as Yuanyang lifted the curtain, he saw that Jia Cong had already stepped into the Hall of Rongxi.
"Old lady, the third master is here."
"My grandson is paying his respects to the old lady. Hey, my eldest sister is here too~"
After greeting her with greetings, Jia Cong followed the old lady's instructions and sat on the chair nearby.
"Your second brother sent a letter from Jinling, saying that Feng Yatou was happy, and that he wanted the family to send someone with the advantage to follow the doctor..."
The old lady's expression was quite serious. Normally, Wang Xifeng's pregnancy was a great joy, but she read the dangers of Jinling City from Jia Lian's letter.
Jinling is the ancestral land of the Jia family, and there are twelve members of the Jia family in Jinling. It actually forced Jia Lian to ask for help from his family, looking for safe manpower and doctors.
The more the old lady thought about it, the more frightened she became. She pursed her lips and asked solemnly: "Brother Cong, you spent a lot of time in Jinling last year. Tell me the truth. Isn't it weird for Lian'er and Feng Yatou to be in Jinling?" Danger?"
Jia Cong hastily read the letter, feeling happy and worried at the same time.
He looked around at the girls who had stopped playing, hesitated for a moment and nodded.
If Jia Lian was still the general who defeated the Japanese army, Jinling would be the dream place for the Japanese invaders to defeat them.
But he is now the envoy of Jinling Town, the Dragon Imperial Guard. He has great power and will also be a thorn in the side of many people.
Back then, Lin Ruhai was the Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor and an imperial envoy appointed by the emperor. How many people in Jiangnan could surpass him? But just because he touched other people's interests, he was almost killed and his family was destroyed.
With lessons learned from the past, can Jia Lian stop worrying?
He was already in his twenties, and his wife was pregnant. If it weren't for the fact that the sky was high and the road was far away, he would have wanted to send Wang Xifeng directly home.
"That's it. Let me just say that in a place as big as Jiangnan, where can't even find a doctor? There must be someone in Jinling who wants to harm Lian'er and the others..."
It has to be said that when the old lady becomes sensible, there are not many mistresses in the capital who can beat her.
Jia Lian's words always reported good news but not bad news, but with decades of experience, she suddenly saw something was wrong.
Yuan Chun held the old lady's hand and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, grandma. Since Lian'er didn't mention anything bad in the letter, it proves that the current situation is relatively stable. And he has an important position now, and no one will If you lose your mind and go crazy, you can easily kill the Dragon Guard's pacifier."
The old lady did not agree with Yuanchun's view. She thought of what happened to her daughter Jia Min...
well!
"Yuan'er, Lian'er didn't even dare to live in the old house in Jinling and lived directly in Zhenfusi. Doesn't that explain the problem?"
Jia Cong looked at the old lady with admiration today. If she had been as shrewd as she is today a few years ago, relying on her reputation with the Supreme Emperor, Ning and Rong's house would not have had such a difficult time.
"Brother Cong..."
The old lady suddenly turned her head and said to Jia Cong: "You are concerned about the doctor's business. I will go to the hospital more often in the past two days to see if there are a few old men who have apprentices who can be used. No matter how much it costs, try your best." Invite two more. There are also capable soldiers in the mansion, pick the right ones and prepare to go south."
Jia Cong nodded: "Okay, my grandson will go to the Imperial Hospital tomorrow to have a look. If it doesn't work, I will go to His Highness the Fourth Highness for help."
"We also need to find a stable mother and a wet nurse in advance...forget it, this matter must be dealt with by our own family."
The old lady thought about it, and the regrets from earlier years made her very alert. People outside may be bribed, but my own family is more at ease.
She looked at the sky and saw that it was just past midnight.
"Yuanyang, go to the west corridor and invite the fifth daughter-in-law and brother Yun to come over. Just say that I have something important to talk to them about."
Um?
In a flash, Jia Cong figured out the old lady's plan. Brother Yun's mother and son in Xiling were from the Jia family, and Jia Cong, mother of Yun's brother, was called the fifth sister-in-law.
The fifth sister-in-law lost her husband in her early years and raised Jia Yun alone. She is honest, loyal and attentive, so it is best for her to go to Jinling to take care of Wang Xifeng.
Moreover, Jia Yun is smart, can speak well, and is also a person who can do things and knows how to do things. If the Rongguo Mansion allows him a future and lets him work for Jia Lian, I think the mother and son will not be easily tempted by outside temptations.
By the time Yuanyang invited Jia Yun's mother and son, everyone in Rongxi Hall had dispersed except Jia's mother, Yuan Chun, Mrs. Xing and Jia Cong.
The fifth sister-in-law's maiden name is Zhang, and her husband Jia Chen died of illness when Jia Yun was one year old. Their orphans and widowed mothers were able to survive, firstly, because Zhang was their mother, and secondly, their surname was Jia.
Although the financial support from the Ning and Rong governments and the money and food they send every year are not enough to make one rich or wealthy, they are enough to raise Jia Yun up in this capital city where every inch of land is precious, and she can also learn the skills of reading and digitizing at home for free. .
Yes, it is not difficult at all for a person who can read and write to marry a wife and have children to support a large family as long as he is willing to sacrifice his face and endure hardships.
Jia Yun was smarter than her mother. As soon as she came in, she knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady Yuan Chun and Mrs. Xing to say hello, and kept saying auspicious words one after another.
He even kowtowed to Jia Cong, saying that the third uncle was more heroic again...
"Brother Yun, help your mother up quickly. You are so old and shameless, so how can you be so polite."
The old lady was very satisfied with the courtesy of Jia Yun and her son, and motioned for them to sit down and talk. Although Zhang was born in the countryside, he was also from a scholar's family, and his words were very orderly. After following Jia Mu's greetings and talking about some household matters, I listened to Jia Mu's invitation.
"Daughter-in-law Chen, I don't worry about letting others go. Not many people in our family have matured. After thinking about it, I can only ask you mother and son to go south to help. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly if you go to the house this time. You mother and son, as Brother Yun is now old, let him work for Lian'er, so that he can get an official position in the future, which can be regarded as a promising future."
The old lady's promise made Jia Yun extremely happy, and she wished she could kneel down and kowtow to the old lady again.
Mrs. Zhang smiled and replied: "My ancestors said this because I am ashamed of my granddaughter-in-law. Not to mention that our orphans and widows have been able to survive these years and Brother Yun has grown up. It is all because of the support of the family and our ancestors." Besides, the second grandma’s wedding is a big event for our family. As a member of the Jia family, how can we not contribute? The ancestors can also rest assured that the grandson’s daughter-in-law will go back and pack her things right away..."
Hearing what her mother said, Jia Yun immediately recovered from her joy and expressed her attitude extremely seriously: "My mother is right, my surname is also Jia. I will do my best when I go to Jinling!"
"Brother Yun is seventeen, right? Does fifth sister-in-law show me how to get married?"
Yuanchun suddenly changed the topic, and with one sentence, Jia Yun, who was patting her chest to express her position, turned red in the face.
Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "As the saying goes, you can start a family and start a career, but Brother Yun doesn't even have a regular job, so how can he dare to delay his girl."
Yuan Chun smiled and said: "Brother Yun is the best brother in our family, so we have to take the trouble to find a suitable wife. Let's let Lian'er find a job for Brother Yun in Longjing Guard, even if it's a job with no class. The scribe can be regarded as having a regular career. There are many beautiful girls in Jiangnan, but based on Brother Yun’s appearance, are you afraid that you won’t be able to find a good wife?”
Following Yuanchun's words, the atmosphere in Rongxi Hall instantly warmed up, and everyone was amused.
In fact, Jia Yun's status is not low. Although she is only a member of the Jia family, she is also a child of martial arts and a serious noble.
There is a member of the Ning Rongjia family above me. He can get a lot of money and food from the family every year even if he does nothing. How can he not find a wife?
After all, Mrs. Zhang felt that her son would definitely be successful in the future, and she wanted to find a wife who could help her son.
After all, Jia Yun is also a member of the Jia family. With all the family status here, it is really not easy to find a suitable one. After all, he does not have any serious errands to make a living. People from the right family may not necessarily like him. Those who can like him ,chapter
Shi felt that the other party's identity was not enough.
This delay delayed Jia Yun's marriage until today. Sometimes Zhang felt that she had had extravagant hopes, but seeing her son's talent, she felt unwilling to do so.
Alas, it was all the family that was dragging down the son. As long as her husband Jia Chen was still alive, his family would not be in such a difficult situation.
Talking and laughing, having fun at home, the matter of Jia Yun and her son going south was decided for the time being.
When Jia Cong sent him out of the house, he specially grabbed Jia Yun and said, "Brother Yun, remember to come to my place tomorrow evening. I have something to tell you."
As he spoke, he took out a silver note and stuffed it into Jia Yun's hand. Jia Yun lowered her head and saw that it was one hundred taels of silver.
"Third uncle, what are you..."
"What can I do without bringing some money with me when I go out? Take these one hundred taels first, and prepare more necessary things for the next two days."
One hundred taels of silver was nothing to Jia Cong, but Jia Yun had not saved much money over the years even though she had help from her clan.
Originally, he was still considering whether to ask someone to borrow some money when he went south, but Jia Cong did not expect to even consider this.
Thinking of this, Jia Yun was greatly moved. Jia Cong saw her eyes were slightly red, and hurriedly waved his hands: "Go back quickly. Remember to come to me after these two days. I have something to tell you. Go ahead~"
After saying that, he turned around and returned to the house without waiting for Jia Yun's response.
When Mrs. Zhang saw Jia Cong returning to the mansion, she walked closer and patted her son's arm: "Go back. Just pay more attention in the future. If you have this opportunity, even if you make a career in the future, don't forget about the people in the mansion." Grace, especially the old lady."
Jia Yun's nose twitched and she responded with a hum. He supported his mother and walked slowly to his home on the west corridor. The mother and son whispered about going south, and occasionally they heard laughter about the happiness in the future...
Ding, ding, ding...
The morning bell and evening drum rang, and Jia Cong was lying in bed, but he heard the little maid Ruyi whispered in his ear that Yuanchun was summoned in the garden, so he dressed and washed in a daze.
Normally, children tend to stay in bed, especially when it is cold in early winter, but before Jia Cong had time to eat, he heard chatter coming from the courtyard.
As soon as he opened the door, two dumplings rushed into his arms.
"Cough cough cough cough..."
Jia Cong didn't even see the figures clearly before he was hit and coughed repeatedly. When he lowered his head, he saw that they were Xiao Xichun and Xiao Chun'er.
Don't these two girls sleep in?
I saw two little girls wearing pink winter clothes of the same color today, staring at him with big eyes.
"Third brother, let's go catch sparrows and play!"
Um?
If you catch a sparrow, you will catch a sparrow. Why are you two slobbering?
"Second sister said last night that the sparrows roasted by third brother were delicious!"
As soon as Xichun talked about eating, Chun'er hugged Jia Cong's arm and revealed his two dimples: "Third brother, eat, eat..."
