Jia Cong has not felt whether he was killed or not, but the old lady and Mr. Jing are furious.
This little brat of mine is getting more and more courageous, and he even dares to go to the Jingying Campus to fight with the Qian family's soldiers. If anything happens, how can they explain to Jia She who is thousands of miles away, whether it's an old lady or a respectful gentleman?
Jia Cong, who happily returned to Rongguo Mansion, was hung from the big tree in the courtyard of Rongxi Hall by the cold-faced Master Jing before he could show off to his sisters.
The old lady whipped the thick-skinned little fat man several times with a cane, pointed at Jia Zheng and others and cursed: "You are all used to it. It's lawless. It's really lawless... None of you are allowed to let him go." Anyone who dares to intercede for him will be hanged with him!"
Jia Cong was hung from a tree to reflect, and Jia Shiyi and other soldiers were also punished. Except for Jia Shiyi, who was slightly seriously injured, all of them were punished and fined half a year's salary.
Liu Xianglian was called over by the old lady and scolded her so much that in the end even Princess Cui of Zhongshun was alarmed and came to Rongguo Mansion to take Liu Xianglian back, saying that she would give it to Prince Zhongshun Liu Ke to teach her a lesson in person.
However, the Dongping County Prince's Palace had to accept the battle invitation. The life and death battle should still be fought. Lord Jing ordered the two palaces not to let Jia Cong leave the house. He then summoned his own soldiers and strengthened training, planning to go on the field in person to continue Jia Cong's plan. .
Jia Cong was hanging on a tree and fell asleep. The autumn wind was so comfortable that he started to snore unknowingly...
"Ah sneeze!"
His nose felt so itchy that Jia Cong opened his eyes in a daze. The cat-stick in Xiao Xichun's hand was poking his nostrils.
Seeing Jia Cong wake up, showing two little tiger fangs: "Third brother, you are finished..."
"What's over?"
Jia Cong twisted his somewhat stiff body and swayed on the swing.
Xiao Xichun pouted at Rongxi Hall and said, "Hey, His Majesty sent someone to find our ancestors and said that you are being too silly. They want to slap you and fine you money."
Just as he was talking, Xia Shouzhong, an old acquaintance, walked over with a smile accompanied by the old lady.
"Hey, isn't this our mighty man General Jia? Why is he hanging here on a swing?"
Being nice to you means being nice to you. If you touch my heart again, be careful and I will scold you!
Jia Cong secretly cursed Xia Shouzhong for teasing him a few times, but he saw Xia Shouzhong nodded to the old lady, approached Jia Cong and whispered to Jia Cong: "Well done, the emperor asked our family to come over and tell the lady, Don’t worry about the shortage of manpower. In two days, the palace will send ministers to temporarily stay in Rongguo Mansion. It will be hard to beat and drag on, and it will not leave Dongping Prince Mansion free to take care of Liaodong’s affairs.”
"Of course, you kid can't do it again by yourself. This time the Qian family was unprepared and you got an advantage. That won't be the case next time."
Xia Shouzhong bowed his hand to the old lady: "Madam, look at General Jia. The Qian family is not just as simple as it seems. The old prince left a lot of people for the Qian family. These days, General Jia will Stay at home and study, don't go out to shine."
"I understand, thank you father-in-law for reminding me."
The old lady nodded in response and glared at her uneasy grandson.
Xia Shouzhong smiled and left, taking with him Jia Cong's one-year salary.
As Xia Shouzhong said, although the foundation of the Dongping County Prince's Palace has been greatly depleted by Qian Kangshi's thirty years of misfortune, the foundation left by the old King Dongping is enough to defeat many noble mansions in Beijing.
Groups of dead soldiers from the palace who had to hide in order to avoid fear in the palace were transferred to the capital in groups.
After Qian Kangshi's condition stabilized, he immediately ordered to find opportunities to assassinate Liu Xianglian, Jia Cong and even Jia Baoyu who had caused the incident.
This was actually a broken rule, but Qian Kangshi was already crazy.
Coupled with Qian Kun's twisted personality, who was bewitching him behind the scenes, the secret guards of Longjing Guards sent news that spies from the Dongping County Prince's Palace had entered Dashi Yongfang, waiting for an opportunity at any time, planning to give Ningrong Jia's family a fatal blow. .
Jia Cong, who had been hanging on the tree for a whole day, learned his lesson this time. From the second day on, he stayed at the gate of Rongguo Mansion and never left the house. He read, practiced calligraphy, played with cats, and cooked. There was nothing more he wanted to do. Neither
Do it, which makes the old lady feel relieved.
Teacher Lin's students have increased from Jia Cong to four. In addition to Yingchun and Tanchun, who have to embroider and weave wedding dresses, five desks will be set up in the study room in the east cross courtyard every morning.
After Daiyu first taught Jia Cong and Baoyu about classics and history, she had to worry about enlightening Xichun and Jialan.
Seven days later, Mr. Jing suddenly appeared at the Jingying Campus, carrying a knife and leading a team of soldiers to slaughter the "godson and grandson" carefully prepared by the Qian family, just like chopping melons and vegetables.
Then he threw a battle note to Qian Kun and said scornfully: "Ningrong Jia's Jia Lan proposed a life-and-death battle to the Dongping County Prince's Palace. Qian Kun, will you accept it or not?"
Jialan? This name sounds strange?
When Qian Kun figured out that Jialan was just a four-year-old kid, he was completely confused.
Only then did he understand the reason why Jia Cong suddenly launched a life-and-death battle last time. He was really planning to fight his family until the end.
On the seventh day, the Qian family sent the ten strongest soldiers on the field, planning to launch a sniper attack to stabilize the situation. Unexpectedly, except for the leader Jia Si, the people in the Jia family who came on stage this time were all new faces.
The battle situation was the same as the previous two times. The Qian family members were suppressed and beaten, and all died on the stage in just a quarter of an hour. Then Jia Si once again threw a challenge card to the Qian family. This time the challenger had another name: Prince Rongguo, Jia Lian!
This was no longer a simple conflict. Qian Kangshi was paralyzed, but his mind was much clearer.
After listening to the detailed report from the chief steward, the fear in my heart had reached its extreme.
"No, these people don't use their skills on the battlefield. They use the method of defeating the enemy with one move. Such masters can only be found there!"
Qian Kangshi struggled hard and raised his hand and took Wei's hand: "Mother, hurry, hurry, go and ask for the King of Xining... The Jia family is just a knife in that man's hand. The saint, the saint is abandoning our family." Already!"
The Prince of Dongping County accepted the invitation, but on the grounds that his master was injured and unable to challenge at the moment, the date of the challenge was postponed to mid-October.
Master Jing, who presided over the two mansions, signed the life and death contract with a stroke of his pen and began to carefully train the soldiers of the two mansions. He also called the twenty worship masters sent by the palace to one place and asked them to accompany the soldiers. Practice the method of military formation together.
As the dead leaves fell with the autumn wind, Jia Cong finally escaped from Teacher Lin's "clutches" and sat at the gate of Rongguo Mansion with Mr. Bao, becoming the stone lions No. 3 and 4 of Rongguo Mansion.
嘘嘚嘚嘚……
The bored two people's eyes lit up at the same time, they stood up and looked towards the intersection of Ningrong Street.
"Second brother is back!"
"Sister Feng is back!"
The two suddenly looked at each other and smiled: "My little niece is back!"
What kind of second brother and second sister-in-law are not as fragrant as a little niece!
A group of people gathered around the bubbly baby on the bed, huddled together, and whispered about who the baby looked more like.
Jia Lian was called to the study by Master Jing, while Wang Xifeng was pulled by the old lady to talk.
After a while, the little baby woke up and started crying loudly.
"This kid has a loud voice and a healthy body and bones."
The old lady had raised too many children, and she skillfully held and teased the little baby. After a while, the child started giggling.
When Wang Xifeng saw that the old lady liked her daughter very much, she felt less anxious. She once thought that she would be disliked if she did not have a baby for her first child. She did not want the old lady in Beijing or the father-in-law in southern Xinjiang to send a large amount of supplements and treasures to Jinling.
Especially Mr. Pardon, who got boxes of pearls and gems from nowhere, saying that he didn't get them back. These were all full-moon gifts for his granddaughter.
Wang Xifeng was chatting and joking with the old lady, and the disciples came to report that an old man and a young man had come to ask to see Mistress Lian. The man said that they were members of the Wang family.
This is strange, the members of the Wang family actually came to Rongguo Mansion to ask to see Wang Xifeng, instead of going to the county uncle's manor to see Uncle Wang.
"What a coincidence. Someone came to you just after you came back, so let's go and meet him."
The old lady got curious
In my heart, my grandson and daughter-in-law brought their great-granddaughter back to the house again. She was very happy and asked Wang Xifeng to go and have a look.
When the maid took the old man and the young man into the house, Wang Xifeng saw the two of them in his room.
When it became clear that Grandma Liu's family was just distant relatives connected to the Wang family in the genealogy, due to the drought this year and the crop failure, they had no way to come to the capital for help, so they wanted to give them some money and food to get rid of the trouble. Unexpectedly, Grandma Liu accidentally mentioned something Something caught her attention.
She asked Ping'er to find Jia Cong. Seeing that the grandfather and grandson were still hungry, she ordered the kitchen to send a table of food...
"Grandma Liu came to the capital from Wang Pingkou? Wouldn't it take two or three days to walk?"
After Jia Cong arrived, he asked about the residence of Grandma Liu's family. He looked at Ban'er who was holding a bowl and pulling rice in surprise, and asked in surprise.
Although Grandma Liu was hungry, she still cared about the nobleman's opinion and put down her chopsticks: "Your Majesty, have you been to Wangpingkou? We didn't walk for two days, but we met a good family halfway and took their carriage. Otherwise, the old lady would have to walk with her grandson for three or four days."
If it weren't for the fact that there would be no food and no food, Grandma Liu would not be willing to let her sweet grandson suffer this pain. Even last night, their grandparents stayed overnight in a mountain temple and endured a miserable night.
Grandma Liu did not hide anything. She specifically pointed out the difficulties on the road and told Jia Cong that if she could make the nobles pity her, it would be good to borrow more money and food.
Jia Cong did feel pity for him, but not just for the grandfather and grandson in front of him, but for Wang Pingkou who was in trouble.
Since the Beijing Camp Brigade took the initiative last year and put an end to the banditry in the capital, it is rare to hear that people will suffer from banditry at the emperor's feet.
But the scourge of bandits often does not necessarily harm people with swords.
Wangpingkou belongs to Fangshan County. This spring there is a serious drought. Wangpingkou is at the foot of the Western Mountains, so the field yield is not high. After paying this year's autumn taxes in August, there wasn't much food left, but it was enough to last until next spring.
Unexpectedly, at the beginning of last month, people's fields in three villages, including Grandma Liu's family, were hit by floods.
The drought in the Northland is severe this year, so where did the floods come from? There is a river on the north side of Wangpingkou, named Qianhe, which lasts for many years.
On the seventh day of September, the wadi suddenly burst its banks, flooding a large amount of surrounding land. Xiaowangzhuang, where Grandma Liu's family lives, is on the edge of the dry river. The house was soaked by the water that overflowed the river embankment overnight.
Things like grain that cannot see water, even if you catch a lot of them, they will become moldy and cannot be eaten.
The village elder in Wangpingkou "had a kind heart" and allowed the people in the village to mortgage their land and borrow grain to survive.
After nine outings and thirteen returns, it is estimated that by the time it is time to pay back the food, most of the land in Wang Pingkou will be returned to the local elder.
"The old lady knows that this is a way to survive, but the old lady also knows that without the land, the son-in-law's family may have to work as domestic slaves for the village chief's family."
How did Grandma Liu’s family fail? It's not that his son got involved in gambling, sold all the land at home, and finally died in the casino.
People who have lost their land cannot feed their families as tenants. In the end, he could only sell his family to the local elder's house and work as other people's slaves in exchange for a bowl of rice.
But Ban'er is smart, and she still wants to send her grandson to school in two years to have a good fight.
"Although the village chief is also a member of the Wang family, he is a serious member of the county uncle's house. The old woman once shamelessly asked the village chief, but... alas! After thinking about it, the old woman could only come to ask for help from the second grandma. Back then, the boss His father is related to the eldest father, and he asked the second mistress to give some charity for the sake of the eldest father. The old woman cannot just watch Ban'er being signed into a deed, which will disgrace the ancestors."
The eldest father in Grandma Liu's mouth was Wang Xifeng's biological father, the original true heir of the Wang family.
Wang Xifeng burst into tears when she saw what Grandma Liu was talking about. She was about to move her chair and kneel down in front of her. She hurriedly supported her and said, "Grandma has already talked about this. How can I watch you starving and sell yourself into slavery? Not yet." Having said this, the children are so frightened that they dare not eat. Your grandparents and grandchildren will eat first, and I will send someone to prepare some money and food, and then send you back."
In order to prevent Grandma Liu and her grandchildren from feeling uncomfortable, Wang Xifeng and Jia Cong went elsewhere, leaving Ping'er alone in the house.
Eat.
"Brother Cong, I have an impression of Wang Pingkou's lieutenant. He was the leader of my father's personal soldiers back then."
When Wang Xifeng said this, Jia Cong understood the purpose of calling him. I originally thought that Wang Xifeng was talking about something fishy about the dike breach, and didn't want me to help her find out about her father's death in the war.
After Jia Cong nodded, he asked doubtfully: "Sister-in-law, won't you tell your second brother about this?"
"Of course I have to tell your second brother about this."
Wang Xifeng rubbed Jia Cong's head skillfully and said quietly: "But we can't investigate it openly. The breach of the Wangpingkou Dry River embankment is strange. Mr. Qingteng knows everything. You might as well ask Mr. Qingteng to investigate this matter..."
Jia Cong still had a good impression of Grandma Liu's family. Because of her father's relationship, Wang Xifeng asked the stewards in the palace to prepare three carriages of food, cloth, meat and other supplies, which were enough for their family to survive this difficult situation safely.
"Grandma has hidden this money. I don't dare to give you too much food at one time. If it's not enough, you can send someone to deliver a message, or come directly to the house to find me."
Of course Grandma Liu knew what Wang Xifeng meant. If the grain was given too much, and the people in Zhuangzi knew to come to borrow grain, would she borrow it or not?
However, these twenty taels of silver, even if the food was washed away by the flood again, would be enough for their family to survive for a few days and come to the capital to ask for help.
Jia Cong also took out his purse, poured out more than ten taels of broken silver in it, and stuffed it into Grandma Liu: "The old man also said that Ban'er is smart and can't be delayed. Take this silver and let him go to school to get started." By the way, Uncle Eleven, go to the study and get a set of Four Books and Five Classics, and pack some pens, inks, paper and inkstones..."
"I can't do it, I can't do it, the money given by my second mistress is enough."
Grandma Liu was not a greedy person. When she saw that Jia Cong was offering money, books and ink, she refused repeatedly.
Jia Cong forced it to her and turned around to leave: "Sister-in-law gave it to her. This is the reward board from me. Take it! Okay, sister-in-law, I will go back to play with eldest sister first. Uncle Eleven will take care of it later." Something was delivered here."
Wang Xifeng stopped Grandma Liu who was about to kneel down again, and smiled: "Brother Cong has a lot of money. The saint and His Majesty met God and gave gold and silver. He can't even spend them all. You can accept what he gives to you."
Grandma Liu looked at the "tyrannical" Jia Cong walking towards the mansion, and sighed gratefully: "I have heard the name of noble people in the countryside. People say that Lord Yumao will be the prime minister in the future. Then we ordinary people will be blessed!"
The old lady liked her great-granddaughter who was holding her fingers and giggling. She felt that her eldest sister was destined to her, so she had already asked Yuanyang to get a lot of jade and jewelry from her collection. She wished that her eldest sister would feel older so that she could dress up and play.
Seeing Jia Cong coming back, he curiously asked about Grandma Liu.
Jia Cong reduced some of it and briefly said it. Everyone in the room was surprised that the Wang family had such poor relatives.
The old lady was still well-informed and lamented: "There are indeed members of the Wang family in Wangpingkou, and there are also several families who are members of the Wang family who have not yet left the fifth service. When the country was founded, our family also thought about letting some members of the clan split up and move out. He wanted to go to the city, but our ancestors were worried that this group of warriors who could only fight for their lives on the battlefield would have a hard time leaving the mansion, so they opened two streets under the west corridor and placed all the clan members together. Now it seems, Our ancestors still look far ahead."
The old lady actually hid some reasons for saying this. If they were far away, how could the Ning and Rong Mansion control their clansmen? Wu Xun can control the army in the army, and it is indispensable for his clan members to join the military camp as sergeants to support the master's family, otherwise the decline will be almost exponentially faster.
"Since you have found our family, and we are related to Feng Yatou and her father, let me have people look after me more."
The old lady picked up the eldest sister, kissed her, and said with a smile: "Think of it as a blessing for our eldest sister. This is a rare fate. By the way, brother Cong, don't be idle, go and see the west corridor. If any of our clansmen are in trouble, don’t save money. Our Jia family is not like their Wang family, where everyone is starving to death, but they are not even allowed in!"
Jia Cong thought for a moment, the old lady was still awesome!
What a great opportunity. If I don't take advantage of it, I will be sorry for Grandma Liu and her grandson who have to go through such hardships.
In Jia Cong with a string of boards
When the car was delivering food and rice to the clansmen under the West Corridor, a new wave of gossip started in the teahouses and restaurants in the capital.
First, the Du Taiwei, who controlled the county government, ignored the lives of his relatives and turned away old women and children who came from thousands of miles away to ask for help. There were still people who couldn't see it anymore, and pointed out the way for him, and asked the second grandmother Lian of Rongguo Mansion who had just returned to Beijing.
Second Mistress Lian sent him food, cloth, and money. She also had people escort him all the way and brought him home safely in a carriage.
The second one is even more meaningful. Ning Rongjia's family is happy with the tiles, and the Rongguo mansion sends the royal cat to bring warmth to the relatives and accumulate blessings for the eldest sister and son.
This person is afraid of comparison. For a time, the old lady's reputation rose rapidly, catching up with the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Even Wang Xifeng, who had a bad reputation earlier due to loan sharking, this time thanks to Grandma Liu, has become a kindhearted person praised by everyone!
