Although Jia Cong was very interested in the 20,000 grassland warriors Yi Lan mentioned, he did not want to worry about the affairs of the court during the Chinese New Year.
When Yi Lan invited him to go to the palace to meet the emperor, he did not hesitate to sell his father-in-law, Hu Bu Shangshu Lin Ruhai, and War Bu Shangshu Jian Zifang.
Since Yilan has become the Shunyi County King of Daxia, the 20,000 grassland warriors who are loyal to Yilan are naturally considered to be Daxia's army. The form of employment does not seem to be suitable for this army.
Whether or not to reorganize it and how to reorganize it will be left to the two big bosses to worry about themselves.
Farewell to Yilan, the carriage leisurely left the west city gate, crunching on the snow on the official road.
Daiyu felt that Jia Cong declined Yilan's invitation because of her, and was afraid of delaying the official business, so she persuaded Jia Cong as soon as she left the city: "If it doesn't work, go back tomorrow. You can go to the palace first, in case of delay." It’s not going to be good when it comes to business.”
ha?
Jia Cong was still imagining the depressed scene of his father-in-law and Jian Shangshu when they received the emperor's edict. He couldn't help laughing after hearing Daiyu's words.
"I'm telling you business, why are you laughing?"
He shook his head, took Daiyu's hand and kneaded it gently, then whispered in her ear: "You said it's the Chinese New Year. Your Majesty, the father-in-law and Jian Shangshu were called into the palace to discuss the disposal of the 20,000 soldiers and horses. What kind of resentful expression should I have?"
Daiyu then remembered that her father was now the Minister of Household Affairs. As long as it involved money and food, he couldn't avoid it.
Pfft~
At this moment, she couldn't help but laugh out loud. When she thought that her father, who was playing with Brother Mo, received a summons from the emperor, Daiyu felt distressed and funny.
"Then don't be resentful. Dad has finally finished visiting his in-laws and friends these past few days. He told me this morning that he finally had time to play with Brother Mo at home. Now he is going to be in trouble again."
Thinking that the cause of this incident was that Jia Cong put down his hand, Daiyu put her hand on Jia Cong's waist and activated the stunt taught by Wang Xifeng.
But with her little strength, if she hadn't been familiar with this action, Jia Cong would have thought she was tickling herself.
"Oh, oh, sister Lin, please forgive me, I was wrong! I was wrong!"
Jia Cong pretended to be in severe pain and begged for mercy.
Daiyu knew that this guy was acting again, but she didn't expose it. They have been playing together since they were young, and the childhood sweethearts know exactly what each other's temperament and habits are like.
She put on a "ferocious" expression and moved forward: "Dad has been busy for a year and finally has some free time. Now, you have disturbed me. Today you will accompany me to pick more plum petals. , let’s make some jars of wine for daddy.”
With this "vicious" expression and this coquettish tone, people who didn't know better would have thought that the little girl was acting coquettishly.
Jia Cong suppressed his laughter and nodded repeatedly to express his obedience.
However, the habit of being mean-mouthed has not changed, so she replied smoothly: "I remember that two years ago, Sister Lin saw the wind and rain knocking down the delicate flowers, and she was carrying a small medicine hoe and crying to bury the petals that fell on the ground. How come she is now Do you want to be cruel and drown the plum blossoms in wine? Oh~ I understand, Sister Lin plans to bury the plum blossoms in a wine jar, what a good idea!"
"You still said that!"
It was true that there was no need to open a pot, so Daiyu transformed into Lin Nvxia and rushed towards Jia Cong, intending to cover her mouth.
Jia Cong didn't want to just open his arms and hug him.
Hey, how can you catch Lin...sister falling from the sky?
First, open your arms; second, wait for the other person to pounce; finally, hug him.
With warmth and softness in his arms, Jia Cong hugged him tightly without hesitation, letting him struggle but not letting go.
As for Daiyu's low-pitched warning to let go quickly for fear of being seen, Jia Cong ignored it.
What a joke, if I hug my wife, what if others see me?
Anyone who dared to speak out would be hung on the city gate tower to dry, or tied up and sunk in the river.
Jia Enhou's son, standing behind Daxia's top thick legs, does not do a few things of "bullying men and dominating women" but always feels that he is not worthy of his status.
Then let’s do it from now on, first dominate the little beauty in my arms.
Daiyu struggled for a while and not only failed to break free from Jia Cong's arms, but she was so exhausted that she lost all strength.
Although it was freezing cold outside, this carriage was specially made by Jia Cong's craftsmen. Not only did it have a small heater inside, but it was also paved and matted, keeping the cold air out of the carriage.
The struggle just now made Daiyu break out into thin sweat on her forehead. She felt that her whole body was hot, and the place where she was in contact with Jia Cong was constantly heating up.
The warm carriage was filled with Daiyu's body fragrance, which fascinated Jia Cong.
Sister Lin is already thirteen, will be fourteen next year, and will have haircut the year after that...
Hiss, doesn’t that mean that he can marry Sister Lin home the year after next, and then...
When he thought of what would happen two years later, the heat in Jia Cong's heart seemed to be burning through him. He was so hot that he couldn't help but couldn't control himself.
Daiyu felt that the hands that were hugging her tightly were moving slowly, and even though she was wearing thick velvet and fur clothes, she could feel the heat in her palms.
Having already had her menarche and having received Aunt Jinse's teachings, she naturally understood what the person hugging her wanted to do.
"Brother Cong~"
"Um."
Jia Cong's response seemed to come from the nine heavens, leisurely and in a trance.
Daiyu grasped the hem of his clothes tightly and secretly glanced at Jia Cong's face. I saw that Jia Cong's originally clear eyes had become dull and lifeless, and the red color extended from his cheeks to his neck.
And with a silly grin on his face, he must be thinking of something "bad."
When was the last time I saw Brother Cong with this expression? Oh, by the way, when he was invited to the palace banquet for the first time, he told himself that he would fill his stomach with all the delicious food in the imperial kitchen.
As for saying that he was full of bitterness when he came back from the palace, and that the food at the palace banquet was already cold when it was brought to him, that is something to talk about later.
But this time the giggle is a little different. He probably wants to eat me!
Daiyu couldn't help but shrank back, but was pulled back by Jia Cong.
At this time, Jia Cong has actually recovered from his reverie, but this is not the time to be a gentleman.
He put his mouth to Daiyu's ear, right against Daiyu's beautiful neck, and asked softly: "Sister Lin, guess what I was thinking just now?"
Just talk, why are you blowing into my ear?
Daiyu only felt a wave of hot air caressing her ears and neck, and there seemed to be a bell rumbling in her head, which made her whole body feel dazed.
Although the two of them had been intimate before, they had always been in love but not polite. In addition, now that she understands love, she will be even more shy.
She subconsciously asked back: "What were you thinking just now?"
"I'm thinking about marrying Sister Lin home in two years and what the name of our child should be..."
Pfft~
The shyness and struggle that Jia Cong imagined did not appear. Daiyu, who was so shy that she almost hid her entire body in his arms, raised her face and smiled at him.
The cheeks that showed her peerless beauty were red, the eyebrows were curved, the corners of the mouth were raised, and she was smiling coquettishly at Jia Cong.
"What are you laughing at, Sister Lin?"
Daiyu no longer struggled, but adjusted to find a comfortable position and leaned in Jia Cong's arms. She held Jia Cong's hand with her backhand and placed it on her abdomen. She smiled and said, "I remembered your confession to me before. It was love at first sight, and as soon as we met, we even decided on a name for the child..."
Perhaps it was her childhood sweetheart who was engaged again. Under the harmony of this "love at first sight", Daiyu's body, which was originally tight due to shyness, softened.
She leaned against Jia Cong's solid chest, clasped Jia Cong's fingers and said, "I didn't expect that eight years have passed. I still remember the scene when I entered Beijing at the age of six. You were only four years old at that time, but you were living with a little kid. He stood in front of me like an adult and blocked Baoyu for me."
When talking about the beginning, Jia Cong also fell into memories.
At that time, he had just hugged Father She's thigh. Daiyu came to Beijing from Yangzhou and entered the Rongxi Hall for the first time after entering the palace. Baoyu wanted to get close to her as soon as they met, but he was stopped by him.
"I have seen this sister before!"
With just one sentence, Baoyu choked back what he was about to say. He tried to hold in his strength but was overtaken by others. Brother Bao, who was still in his bastard stage, got angry immediately. He took off the jade from his neck and threw it to the ground.
Daiyu's face turned pale with fright, but Jia Cong stood in front of her again and took away her first time...
Four-year-old Brother Cong took Daiyu's hand and whispered comfort: "Sister Lin, don't be afraid, I will protect you!"
But I was thinking: Hey, Sister Lin’s hands are so soft!
The old lady finally coaxed Baoyu and arranged for Daiyu and Baoyu to live in Nuang Pavilion to accompany her, not wanting to be disturbed by Jia Cong again.
"The daughter of the Su Lin family, a dignified girl, came to our house but she didn't even have a proper yard. She actually had to squeeze in with Brother Bao. Let's not talk about the differences between men and women. If this fact spreads out, others will laugh at her to death. "
Well, the old lady's "Double Jade" plan was completely disrupted by Jia Cong, and the old lady was so angry that she found an excuse to ask for her own tricks.
Fortunately, Mr. Lian couldn't bear it anymore and secretly sent someone to Dongkuaoyuan to deliver the letter. Only then did little Jia Cong save his butt.
…
The past really cannot be recalled. Now think about it, how could I be so brave back then and dare to defy the old lady before the big man was ready to make a comeback?
At that time, he had not yet developed feelings for Daiyu. The four-year-old baby didn't even have full hair, so he knew nothing about love and hatred.
Perhaps this was God's arrangement, arranging for him to be reborn in this world, and tying a red thread to himself and Sister Lin early on.
Otherwise, why wouldn't he be interested in other women?
"Then you told me, don't be afraid, I will protect you. These words were like a ray of sunshine, dispelling the sadness in my heart."
Daiyu raised Jia Cong's palm and pressed it tightly against her cheek, with a smile on her lips but tears in her eyes.
"You know, my mother is gone and my father sent me away from Yangzhou. I thought he didn't want me anymore. When I came to a strange capital, I was very scared. Until you held my hand and told me not to be afraid, saying that you would protect me. I……"
Daiyu felt the warmth in Jia Cong's palm and wiped away her tears with a smile: "It's funny. You were only four years old at that time, but you spoke with a babyish voice, but you made me feel at ease."
Jia Cong held Daiyu tighter in distress, rubbed her smooth and smooth side face with his own cheek, and said softly but decisively: "Look, I said when I was four years old that I would To protect you, I have never broken my promise in the past eight years, and I will never break my promise in the future!"
Daiyu also rubbed Jia Cong's rough cheek in return, her feelings slowly rising, and her heart was filled with warmth.
"Well, I know, I've always known it!"
…
There are several Jiajia Villages in the west of the city. The village full of plum blossoms was secretly assigned to Jia Cong's name by Master Pardon a long time ago.
This place is close to the Yuhe River and is not large in area. There are only more than 500 villagers, most of whom are retired soldiers and generals from the Rongguo Mansion.
There are houses with green bricks and green tiles in the village, and the road paved with bluestone slabs extends to the entrance of the village. Zhuangzi with such an appearance is unique in the entire capital.
Several carriages, escorted by more than fifty knights, slowly arrived at the entrance of the village. The steward, who had received the news long ago, led his people to greet them.
"Third Master has worked hard. I have already had the Ondol stove lit. I also asked Third Master and Young Mistress to go to the village to rest. I will have people prepare wine and food..."
Daiyu lifted the car curtain and said helplessly to the steward: "Why are you still teasing me about this? I haven't married Brother Cong yet. Don't call me young mistress, just call me girl."
When Jia Wuer saw Daiyu, the wrinkles on his face came alive. He smiled and stared at Daiyu and Jia Cong looking back and forth.
"Okay, young lady, I understand, young lady."
Phew~
These old people are not ashamed!
Jia Cong jumped out of the car first, and then hugged Daiyu directly in front of everyone.
Now Jia Wu'er smiled even more happily, and winked at Daiyu: Look, my young master is hugging you, and he still doesn't admit that he is a young mistress.
Daiyu gently slapped Jia Cong for causing trouble, and was welcomed into the village by a group of generals from her hometown.
After sitting in the main hall of the other courtyard, Jia Wuer led a group of old and new generals to pay homage.
Jia Wuer's identity is not simple. He was Jia Daishan's confidant at that time, and was specially left to his son's right-hand man.
Now that he is old and has taken a back seat, the Pardon Master noticed Jia Cong's specialness and specially invited him to take care of the village for Jia Cong.
Even though this Zhuangzi only has about 500 people, it can't be smaller, but it will be Jia Cong's most important wealth in the future.
"Third Master, Young Mistress, these people are the outstanding ones selected by my subordinates this year, and they can become the personal soldiers of Yongfeng Mansion."
Yes, Jia Wuer is Jia Cong's real military commander. To be precise, he is the military commander of the Yongfeng Mansion.
This Zhuangzi has only one mission, which is to continuously train the most loyal soldiers for Jia Cong and the Yongfeng Mansion.
Not for the Ningrong Jia family, nor for the Rongguo Mansion, but only to serve Jia Cong, only to be loyal to Jia Cong, and to the future Yongfeng Mansion.
Jia Cong looked at the six young men who were a little cautious, stood up and came to them.
After looking at each one one by one, Jia Shiyi held a tray with six copper identity tags placed on the red cloth.
There is a unicorn pattern, the seal character Yongfeng Bofu Jia on the front, and a chubby orange cat on the back with slightly narrowed hands, which is exactly the same as the decoration on Jia Cong's official robe.
Jia Cong handed the six identity cards to them one by one and said solemnly: "Since you were all selected by Grandpa Er personally, I don't doubt your ability and loyalty. In one sentence, my life will be handed over to you. You guys!"
The six of them respectfully held their identity cards in their hands, knelt down and swore: "I am willing to die for the general!"

Sorry for the late update tonight. I originally wanted to drive a car, but I didn't expect that I would be checked as soon as I started driving. As long as I changed it... Well, I am a loser who can't drive.
