Jia Cong went all the way to Jia Mu's yard.
The difference from before was that since I entered Rongguo Mansion, all the servants in the mansion came up to greet me with smiles on their faces, and they were all very enthusiastic.
Jia Cong could only smile and nod in response.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. As my status improved, even the attitudes of these servants became enthusiastic.
It's true that human relationships are cold and warm, and the world is cold and cold, it's nothing more than this.
When the girls in the yard saw Jia Cong coming, they all smiled and stepped forward to salute.
"My servant pays homage to the Marquis."
Jia Cong nodded and said, "No need to be polite."
He took out a handful of silver coins from his arms and divided them among the girls.
This was something Yuanyang stuffed into himself when he was about to go out.
Yuanyang has been with Jia Mu for so many years, but he is more proficient and good at these welcoming and sending things than anyone else. With her by his side, always reminding him, he felt a lot less worried.
"Thank you, Mr. Marquis, for the reward. The old lady has been waiting for you for a long time. Please invite Mr. Marquis."
The maids raised the curtain, and Jia Cong walked in.
There were not many people in the room, only Jia Mu, Lin Daiyu, Yingchun, and Tanchun.
Since there was a funeral in Dongfu, it was obviously inappropriate to get together to talk and laugh, and the atmosphere was no longer there. It was better to be comfortable at home.
Therefore, recently, only a few girls in Jia Mu's house often come to stay with her.
As soon as Jia Cong entered the door, several people looked over.
They saw a strong young man standing in front of them, looking at them with a smile on his face.
Mother Jia was stunned. The young man in front of her had a straight figure and was almost half a head taller than the previous Jia Cong. A closer look showed that his face still looked like Jia Cong's, but he had lost the childishness before and became a handsome and beautiful young man.
"Are you Brother Cong? Why are you so tall? I didn't dare to recognize you at first sight."
Jia Cong took a few steps forward and gave a big salute to Mother Jia: "My grandson kowtowed to the old lady. My grandson has been running around outside these years and has not fulfilled his filial piety in front of the old lady. Please don't take offense to the old lady."
Seeing this, Jia Mu was very pleased.
Brother Cong is a very filial child. Every year, he is given gifts to honor him, and he never fails to do so during holidays. The mink ginseng sent is always of the best quality.
Although there is no shortage of ginseng in the house, most of them are under ten years old. Although there are some over ten years old, they are all in the hands of a few masters. Jia Mu also kept a few old ginseng plants in her hands, but they were incomparable to those sent by Jia Cong.
The ginseng that Yuanyang brought for him were all old ginseng that were more than fifty or sixty years old. He said that Brother Cong searched for it specially for him.
Not only that, as soon as he came back, he came to greet me without putting on airs in front of him at all, and his words were also appreciated by others.
Jia Mu said with a smile on her face: "No wonder, no blame, just come back, just come back. Although I have often heard news of your meritorious service in recent years, the battlefield is fierce and dangerous, so I am still very worried. Now that I'm back, I feel relieved.
You are fighting outside, but you are still thinking about my old lady. I have received all the gifts sent back. I like them very much. Come over here and let me see. You have grown into a young man in the past few years. "
Jia Cong stood up and came to Jia Mu.
Jia Mu took Jia Cong, looked him up and down, and sighed: "I haven't seen you for three years. I have really grown up. You have won so many battles outside. We have all heard about it. You are a good person." You didn’t bring shame to your ancestors, and you were in danger outside because of the fierce fighting. You weren’t injured, right?”
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Don't worry, old lady, my grandson's kung fu is still very good, and he is protected by armor and has guards around him. Although he has been fighting, he has never been injured.
That is to say, in the first year, you personally lead people to rush to kill. After there are more people under your command, you no longer need to rush to the front. You only need to be in the center to command and dispatch. Unless the battle situation is dangerous, you will personally lead people to rush to kill and rescue. field. "
Hearing this, Mother Jia breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I'll be relieved. Did you bring all your people back this time?"
Jia Cong nodded and said: "When I come back this time, the court probably won't let me go back, so they simply pulled back all the people over there. I took the lead with a hundred personal guards, one man and three cavalry.
There are a hundred guards behind, escorting the convoy on the way, and it is estimated that it will take a few days to get back. "
Jia Mu said: "It doesn't matter if you are not allowed to go back. You are not short of military merit now. The court also promised that you will be rewarded after you return to Beijing. It is more than enough to make you a prince based on your military merit. You should stay in the capital from now on. You should be able to do it." I’ll arrange a position for you.”
This old lady still has some knowledge, and she is also familiar with some matters of the court.
In his heart, Jia Cong didn't want to take up his position too early. That would be too unfree. After all, this capital was not outside the country, and he couldn't be too indulgent under the emperor's nose.
He wanted to take advantage of the fact of keeping filial piety for Jia Jing to take a good rest and go see and travel around while he was young.
Stop by the Water Monkey’s sea base and experience the sea.
"What the old lady said is that my grandson will stay at home to honor you from now on. I also want to have a good rest. I have been busy practicing in the past few years, and I have been fighting in the past few years, so I have never had a good time."
Jia Mu smiled and said: "You child has your own plans since you were a child. While others were playing, you were practicing hard. However, your efforts have now been rewarded. Without the hardships you endured before, how could you do it?" What is your current status?
You are a kid with both ability and luck. You have made great contributions at a young age. With such a status, you can be considered a proud ancestor. With a grandson like you, I can be considered worthy of the ancestors of the Jia family. . "
Jia Cong said: "The old lady is a great contributor to the Jia family. Without you, where would I be? The blood of the old lady also flows in me."
Hearing this, Jia Mu laughed and said: "You are such a bastard, you can make me happy, but when I heard you say that, I felt even happier. When I was young, others called me Shi DaDa, and neither did those brothers." I'm brave."
Jia Cong said with a look of realization: "I asked why I am so courageous. Sometimes I also wonder why I am the only one in the family who is so courageous? Today I finally understand. The feelings were passed down to me from the old lady. Yes."
My mother laughed happily when she heard this. This grandson's words were so lovable.
Yingchun, Tanchun, and Daiyu all giggled happily when they saw the grandfather and grandson playing each other here.
Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "The old lady is Shi DaDa, and Brother Cong is Jia DaDa. They are indeed the two of us. When I was young, I saw Brother Cong being so tossing, and I thought to myself, Brother Lian is afraid of uncle Bao Er. When I saw my second uncle, it was like a mouse seeing a cat.
Why is Brother Cong so courageous? I don’t know who I followed, but now I finally know. It turns out that Brother Cong is so courageous because he followed the old lady. "
Sister Lin's divine assist was really just right. It went directly into the old lady's heart, making her even happier.
2k
The family laughed for a while, and Yingchun said with a smile on his face: "Brother Cong has grown taller and grown up, but his temper is still the same as before. He has not forgotten the old lady, nor us sisters. It's really It’s very rare.”
Jia Cong said: "Look what the second sister said, what is this? We are a family, the old lady and you are my family, and I will never forget you.
After not seeing each other for a few years, the second sister is more beautiful than before, and she looks more gentle and virtuous. She is a real big girl. "
Yingchun was a little embarrassed to be praised by Jia Cong, but she was still very happy in her heart. No girl would not want others to praise her for her beauty, and she would be equally happy to be praised by her own brother.
"Congdi's mouth is still the same as before, he likes to talk nonsense."
"Second sister, I am telling the truth. You have wronged me by saying this. I feel so wronged. I am going to find Sister Lin to comfort me."
Lin Daiyu made a noise and said, "What the second sister said is absolutely right. Brother Cong likes to talk nonsense."
Jia Cong came to Lin Daiyu, held her hand and said with a smile: "Sister Lin has grown up and is getting more and more beautiful. I haven't seen you in these years, but I miss you so much, please let me take a good look. "
Lin Daiyu held Jia Cong's hand and listened to him praising that she was getting more and more beautiful. She felt very happy and a little bit sweet. She thought of herself while guarding so many people. Although she was very useful, she was also a little embarrassed. .
But I couldn't bear to let go of his hand. I hadn't seen him for more than three years, and I also missed my brother Cong a little. I simply didn't have anyone else, so I just indulged him once.
With a quick glance, he saw Jia Mu, Yingchun, and Tanchun all looking towards him, and smiled generously and said: "Brother Cong will make us happy. He is very good at fighting outside, and he has not lost any of his skills in talking. I wonder how many little girls have been coaxed outside?"
Jia Cong looked at Lin Daiyu and said with a smile: "My brother has been very busy with the war in the past two years. I have some time off. I also have to write letters to my beloved girl. How can I have time to coax the little girl?"
Lin Daiyu's face turned red when she heard this. This person was really bold. He actually came to comfort her while guarding so many people. Although she was very happy, she was also a little embarrassed.
Twist him hard while he's not paying attention, huh, you don't know what to say.
Tan Chun came over with a smile, looked at the two of them, and said jokingly: "Third brother, don't you know who your beloved girl is? Tell her so that we can get to know each other."
Lin Daiyu glared at Jia Cong fiercely and told him not to tell anyone.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "I won't tell you, you can guess it yourself."
Tanchun rolled his eyes, ran to the old lady, and said with a smile: "Old lady, the third brother has a beloved girl. Don't you want to know who she is?"
Mother Jia looked at the juniors playing there with a smile, but her heart was like a mirror.
Who is Jia Mu? This little trick can't be hidden from her eyes. Looking at the playfulness of the two cousins, she still doesn't understand what's going on.
In addition, Yuanyang often comes to talk to her, and from time to time she mentions a few words, saying that Brother Cong has written to them to take care of Daiyu. Isn't this obvious?
But Daiyu is his granddaughter after all, and he would be happy to see her find a good home.
Brother Cong is really a good match. He has status, status, ability, and money. It seems that he is much stronger than his ancestors.
I heard from Feng Yatou that Brother Cong had someone open a large warehouse in the capital, specializing in selling goods shipped from the grassland. The business was booming. Other caravans who went to the grassland only made one trip a year. Make two more trips, I heard his caravan makes three or four trips a year.
I often hear that caravans going to the grassland have been robbed, but Brother Cong's caravan has never had any trouble. This guy is so capable.
When Feng Yatou talked about this brother-in-law, her face was full of envy. Knowing that the children of the Xue family had made a lot of money from doing business with Brother Cong, she was even more envious.
My grandson is really amazing. Not only can he fight, but he can also make money. This is what makes him so awesome.
A reckless man who only knows how to fight is nothing special.
Haven't you seen your two natal nephews? With the title of Marquis, the family was very poor. In the past few years, they had to rely on the family girl to do needlework.
In the past two years, I heard that Xiangyun had come forward and established a relationship with Heping'er. The Shi family also started selling wine and soap, and life became easier.
This Jia family has a talented person, and the whole family will benefit from it, and even the surrounding relatives will benefit a lot.
This is his own grandson, and that is also his pride.
Jia Mu said with a smile: "Brother Cong, tell us all who your beloved girl is, so that we can get to know her."
Jia Cong glanced at Daiyu and saw that she was giving him a wink, telling him not to talk nonsense. He knew that now was not the time to tell the truth, so he gave her a reassuring look.
Jia Cong said with a smile: "Since the old lady asked, I won't hide it. This person is far away..."
Seeing Jia Cong talking again and gasping for air, Tanchun stepped forward and said with a smile: "Third brother, are you going to say next, it's close in front of you?"
After saying that, he didn't forget to glance at Lin Daiyu, the meaning was self-evident.
Lin Daiyu was a little frustrated. She had just promised herself not to say anything, so why did she start talking nonsense again?
Jia Cong gave Tanchun an appreciative look.
"Third sister, you are really smart. You can guess at a glance that it is the person who is far away and right in front of you..."
Yingchun covered her mouth and snickered: "Brother Cong is so bad. He started talking and panting again, which is very appetizing."
Mother Jia was not in a hurry, and smiled as she watched her grandson playing tricks and messing around with a few little sisters. This was her favorite thing to do.
I am too old to play anymore, but it is also fun to watch these juniors play.
Why does Jia Mu treat Wang Xifeng differently from others? It is because Wang Xifeng is willing to be humble and can make Jia Mu happy.
Tanchun couldn't wait any longer. He shook Jia Cong's arm and asked, "Third brother, stop titillating people and tell me about that person."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "It's the old grandmother who is far away in the horizon but right in front of me."
