Wang Xifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. This brother-in-law was so funny. If he was left next to the old lady every day, he would probably lose his job.
Lin Daiyu covered her mouth and snickered, "Brother Cong is so bad, he talks so loudly that the whole family was fooled." '
Aunt Xue looked at Jia Cong with a smile. This child was so interesting. What she said just now almost didn't scare her.
Xue Baochai looked at Jia Cong, as if he had already seen through you.
Li Wan looked at Jia Cong, then at Wang Xifeng, and said to himself: "These uncles and sister-in-law are really a family. Each one is more eloquent than the other, and they know how to make the old lady happy."
I pity myself for being clumsy and tongue-tied, and I can't help but lose face. Lan'er, like me, doesn't have this talent, so I can't please the old lady. '
When Mrs. Wang heard the second half of the sentence, her face darkened. This little bastard was so shameless, he knew how to flatter the old lady.
The one who regrets the most is Mrs.
Well now, the son who was supposed to be his was now in someone else’s house.
When Jia Mu heard this, she really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This little bastard was breathing heavily and gave herself a false alarm. It must have been intentional.
He couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You little bastard, even the old woman has started to fool around with you, don't think you can just get away with it like this, and you don't really recruit me."
Jia Cong explained: "Old lady, my grandson has never thought of this before. When he was at Tiejian Temple outside the city, he suddenly came up with this idea and asked Brother Lian to help me with it.
After returning to the city, I asked my master to come forward and help talk to Uncle Dongfu. My grandson didn’t know if it would work, so he didn’t tell the old lady.
I'm afraid that if you find out and keep thinking about me, if you can't eat well or sleep well, it will be your grandson's fault. "
Mrs. Wang curled her lips. This little bastard was becoming more and more shameless. He obviously didn't want people to know and was afraid that others would damage him, but now he was caring about the old lady. He was so thick-skinned.
At this time, Jia She also stood up and said: "Old lady, Cong'er is right. When he came to me, I also felt that this child had no hope and advised him not to have too much hope. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the case. This shows that The kid is very lucky.”
Mother Jia nodded. This incident was really unexpected. She originally thought that she would adopt one from the Dongfu branch, but she didn't expect that it would fall on her grandson.
This bastard is really capable, I don’t know how he does it?
This is a good thing for him. Both the East and West Prefectures have fallen to his grandson, and he has become the ancestor of the two prefectures.
"When you go to Dongfu from now on, you will be the master of your own affairs. There are no elders to control you there, so don't be too presumptuous."
Jia Cong said: "Don't worry, old lady, even if I take over the Dongfu, my plan to join the army will not change. Besides, the old lady and the master are still here.
Could it be that since the grandson went to Dongfu, he was no longer the master's son? Isn’t he the old lady’s grandson? "
My mother laughed when she heard this and said, "Listen, this bastard knows how to make my old lady happy. Just know it yourself."
Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Old Ancestor, Brother Cong is right. No matter where he goes, if he can still deny his ancestor, just keep it in your heart."
Aunt Xue also smiled and said: "Old lady, Brother Cong is a filial child and a capable person. Why are you worried?"
Jia Mu smiled and said, "This kid is good at everything, but he is too noisy."
Mrs. Wang felt very uncomfortable listening to everyone's words.
These people all spoke for this little bastard, and none of them had the same thoughts as him.
Even his own sister didn't help him deal with this little bastard and stood up to say good things to him. It was really annoying.
Could it be that my sister has taken a liking to this guy? Want to recruit this guy as your son-in-law?
That's not right either. Didn't all the treasure girls go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to sign up for election?
······
The next day, I just had breakfast.
Youshi called Jia Cong over and asked him to try on the new clothes that had been made overnight.
Not to mention it fits well, but the sleeves are a little too long and could be modified a little.
"Sister-in-law, you have good eyesight. You can tell your brother's figure without measuring him."
Youshi smiled and said: "I don't have such eyes, the size is provided by Brother Rong's daughter-in-law."
Qin Keqing smiled and said: "Uncle Cong is a little taller than my natal brother, so I compared it to my brother's size and put it a little bigger. Unexpectedly, it actually fits quite well."
Jia Cong said: "Thank you for your hard work. We have to make new clothes overnight. I also have clothes over there."
Youshi said: "Today is a good day for Brother Cong. You have to dress up no matter what, so as not to be looked down upon by others."
We had lunch here at noon, and the adoption ceremony was held in the afternoon.
Jia Mu, Jia Jing, Jia She, Jia Zheng, and some elders from the Ningrong and Ningfu branches all gathered in the Jia family ancestral hall.
A series of procedures such as worshiping ancestors, revising the genealogy, and serving tea to Jia Jing were completed.
From now on, Jia Cong is Jia Jing's son. When you meet Jia She, you can only call him uncle. Of course, you can also continue to call him dad.
After completing the ceremony, they hosted a banquet for all the tribesmen and finally settled into the Ning Mansion.
After the banquet that night, Jia Jing had another deep talk with Jia Cong and returned to the Taoist temple outside the city that night.
Jia Cong took Ping'er, Xiangling, Chunxia Qiudong and others to stay in Ningguo Mansion.
It turned out that Yan Hong was allowed to watch over the Jia Mansion for the time being, and then they could move over together after Ning Guo Mansion was sorted out.
Jia Cong asked someone to bring Xiaohong, Qingwen, Yueya and others back.
Together with Ping'er, Yanhong, Youshi, Qin Keqing, Zhang Fu and others, they will count all the accounts, materials, and inventories of Ningguo Mansion, and completely take over Ningguo Mansion.
Jia Cong did not participate in it. The whole process of checking and accepting accounts was mainly done by Ping'er, with other people assisting.
Jia Cong, on the other hand, has to follow Jia Lian to the clan mansion to go through the procedures for seizing the title.
The person who inherits the title of Wu Xun needs to pass the exam. He must take the exam to learn the martial arts of bow and horse. Only if he passes it can he successfully inherit the title. Of course, you can also get through by paying money to bribe him.
Up early in the morning, Ping'er and Qingwen helped him pack up and made an appointment with Jia Lian to go to the clan mansion.
The Zongren Mansion is right next to the Imperial City. The last time he entered the palace, he had passed by there before. He never expected that he would make a special trip to the Zongren Mansion this time.
The two came to the door, went directly into the inner room, found the person in charge and explained their purpose.
He was not given any trouble. He was taken directly to the school grounds and took a test. He was excellent in both horse riding and archery, and even his strength was excellent.
Seeing this, the evaluation official looked at Jia Cong with some surprise. According to the file, this kid was only eleven years old, but he didn't expect that he was so skilled. He was really beyond appearances.
"Boy, you are very good. I have rarely seen anyone with real skills in the past few years."
Jia Cong cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, sir. I am just lucky."
The official nodded. This boy is neither arrogant nor impetuous, neither humble nor overbearing. He is really rare. He is a good prospect.
Jia Lian wasn't too surprised when he saw it. After all, he had seen his brother's hard work in training.
After successfully passing the exam, I returned to the lobby again. After completing the final procedures, I was a person with a title.
At this time Dai Quan walked in, nodded to Jia Cong, and said: "Master Jia, the emperor has decreed that you will enter the palace to be a saint, and you can go with the Sa family."
Jia Cong cupped his hands and said, "I obey the order."
He passed the examination and became a fifth-grade Yunqi Lieutenant. He was considered a minister of the emperor.
Dai Quan took Jia Cong's score sheet again, and then took Jia Cong into the palace.
This is already the second time Jia Cong has entered the palace. I feel that this palace is in one word, big.
The two of them arrived at the Imperial Study Room, and Jia Cong quickly stepped forward to salute.
"Jia Cong, a humble minister, greets Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live."
Emperor Longqing looked at the little guy below and couldn't help but sigh. This guy was so lucky that he actually took the title of Ningguo Mansion.
"Now that you have inherited the Ningguo Mansion and obtained the title, you are considered successful, but do you still have the idea of joining the army?"
"Reporting to your majesty, even if I inherit the Ningguo Mansion, I still want to join the army. I will defend the territory and open up borders for your majesty, wipe out the barbarians, and want to increase my title."
Emperor Longqing smiled when he heard this and said: "You little guy, you are not very ambitious, but you are very ambitious. How was your score in this assessment?"
Dai Quan quickly handed over the evaluation results. Emperor Longqing took them over, looked at them, and nodded with satisfaction.
This little guy is really good, he is actually top-notch, and he will definitely be a strong general in the future.
From the incident of offering the iron plow, it can be seen that this boy has me in his heart, and if he can win over him a little, he will definitely be a loyal and brave general under me.
He was not rewarded for the iron plow he presented last time, so why not give him a title this time?
This boy is too young and it is not suitable to give him an official position. It would be okay to upgrade his title.
But something needs to be changed, otherwise the civil servants will cause trouble again.
With that, let him attack Jia Zhen's title as a third-grade mighty general, so that no one will say anything.
"Jia Cong, you performed well with your iron plow last time. I am extraordinarily merciful and allow you to attack the mighty general of the third rank."
Jia Cong was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect such a good thing to happen. It seemed that the emperor was quite good and had not forgotten his own merits.
In this case, some things can be slowly handed over, such as coke burning, new steelmaking technology, forging machine tools, etc.
"Jia Cong, a humble minister, thanks Your Majesty for your kindness. I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty, and be wrapped in horse leather."
A satisfied smile appeared on Emperor Long Qing's face. I don't know who this little guy learned his flattering skills from.
"Pingshen, let Dai Quan take you to go through the formalities."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."
After leaving the imperial study, he followed Dai Quan back to the clan mansion and completed the formalities.
From today on, he is the third-grade mighty general Jia Cong.
Dai Quan smiled and said: "Congratulations, General Jia."
Jia Cong took the opportunity to give him a five hundred tael silver note, cupped it in his hand and said, "All this is due to my father-in-law's guidance. Please take care of me in the future, my father-in-law."
Dai Quan took it calmly, glanced at it, and smiled on his face.
"You're welcome, General Jia. The general is a young hero with an unlimited future."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Then I appreciate your father-in-law's good advice."
He said goodbye to Dai Quan, and left the clan mansion with Jia Lian and his servants.
Jia Lian looked at Jia Cong with envy, "Brother Cong, you are the one who actually defeated a third-grade general."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Second brother, I didn't expect this. Didn't I offer the iron plow last time? Your Majesty asked me what reward I wanted, but I didn't ask for it. Isn't this just what I want?"
"Brother Cong, I have to say that you are so lucky. Although my brother helped you run it, you didn't expect it to succeed. Not only did you succeed, you also won the title of nobility."
Jia Cong said: "This is inseparable from the help of my second brother. Every link has its own role. Each one is indispensable. Those clan elders also played a big role."
The two brothers talked all the way back to Rongguo Mansion.
First, I went to Jia Mu to report the matter. Jia Mu was overjoyed when she found out the result. After asking her carefully, she also lamented the grandson's good fortune.
"Brother Cong, you are now in charge of the entire Dongfu and are in charge of a lot of things. If you don't understand, you can ask your second brother Lian and your sister-in-law Feng. They have been managing the house here for many years. Still have some experience.
Are you planning to let that girl Ping'er be your housekeeper? Can she manage such a big mansion? "
Jia Cong nodded and said: "Thank you for the old lady's teaching. My grandson has taken note of it. I am asking Sister Ping'er to take over the accounts, materials, and warehouses. I will take this opportunity to conduct a thorough inventory so that I can have a good idea.
By the way, those who have unclean hands and feet will be removed directly. The messy staff in the mansion over there will also be cleaned up by the way.
Ping'er has to be in charge of the overall situation over there. She has a few capable girls to help her. I'll ask Sister-in-law You to help her. I'll find someone to take care of the front yard. I can just report important matters to her. That's it. There should be no problem. "
In this regard, Jia Mu is helpless. Now that Brother Cong is still young, and they get married in the future, his wife will naturally take care of him.
"Brother Cong, it's okay to let Ping'er be the housekeeper, but you need to give her a title so that she can be justified and the people below will obey her. Otherwise, it is impossible for others to truly obey her.
Besides, this girl Ping'er is already old. If you take her in and give her the status of aunt, you can also reassure her and tie her to you completely. This can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. "
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Old lady, I have already told Sister Heping'er that I will take her in when I turn sixteen. I am still a little young after all, and doing that will not be good for my health."
Hearing this, Jia Mu smiled and said: "You kid has such knowledge and is not bad at all. In this regard, you are much better than most children from rich families. However, you can accept Ping'er first and give her a status." , just wait until later to consummate the marriage."
Yawenba
Jia's mother had a good idea. She first gave Ping'er an identity and allowed her to manage the Ningguo Mansion in a legitimate and legitimate manner.
At the same time, it can also calm her mind and let her stay by his side wholeheartedly and stop thinking wildly.
After all, she was still young and she was older, so she was afraid that she would dislike her for being too old when she grew up. She had said this before.
"I listen to the old lady. When Dongfu settles down, I will let Sister Ping'er come in and let her manage Ningguo Mansion in a legitimate and legitimate manner."
