When the three sisters heard Jia Cong's words, they burst out laughing.
Jia Mu was stunned when she heard this, and laughed and scolded: "Bah, you bastard, you actually use me to have fun, you really deserve a beating."
Lin Daiyu held back her laughter while clenching her fists and hitting Jia Cong's shoulders hard.
This person is really bad. He was out of breath when he spoke. He was so shocked that he didn't say anything. He even talked about the old lady.
"Old lady, let me help you beat him."
"Hit me, hit me hard and see if this bastard still dares to talk nonsense."
Jia Cong allowed Daiyu to beat his shoulders, treating it as a massage from a beautiful woman.
"You are so rare and strange. I haven't been home for so many years. Isn't it normal to miss my grandma? I always keep the old lady in my heart, think about her, miss her, which shows that I have filial piety."
As the saying goes, the baby who cries gets milk.
Regardless of whether what Jia Cong said is true or false, to outsiders, it sounds like he is filial and he is definitely a filial child.
After hearing this, Jia Mu felt quite comfortable.
Thinking that Jia Cong had asked Yuanyang to bring him so many good things in the past few years, this filial piety was unique among his descendants, and he couldn't help but believe it.
Then he chuckled and said, "I'll take it as what you said makes sense, but what about the letter you mentioned? Why didn't I see the letter you gave me?"
Tanchun said: "That's right, third brother, the old lady didn't receive your letter. Where did you send your letter? Could it be that it was sent to the wrong place?"
Yingchun sat aside, watching a few people bickering, and just pursed her lips and snickered.
Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes at Jia Cong and said to herself, "If you tell me to talk nonsense again, let's see how you can make it up now."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "During that time, I fought every day. When I came back, I was so tired that I didn't want to move. I fell asleep. Every time I fell asleep, I dreamed of the old lady. As soon as I said a few words to the old lady, the old lady Gone.
I searched and couldn't find it, so I started writing letters to the old lady. I kept writing and writing. Every time I woke up, my hands were sore. Old lady, when you were dreaming , didn’t you receive my letter? "
Jia Mu laughed and scolded: "What Girl Lin said is absolutely right. You brat is not only good at fighting, but you are also good at talking. Even if Feng Girl is here, I'm afraid she will be the loser."
Jia Cong said with a humble face: "No, no, the old lady has given me the award. Compared with Sister-in-law Feng, I am still a little behind. I still need to work harder."
The sisters all giggled after hearing this.
Jia Cong chatted with a few people for a while. Jia's mother asked some questions about things in Liaodong. Jia Cong also answered them one by one. He also told them some interesting folklore in Liaodong, which made several people laugh. People listened with gusto.
Jia's mother was very happy to see that Jia Cong was not related to her and was still thinking about her.
Thinking that he had just come back from a long journey and there was still a lot of things waiting for him at home, he said, "Brother Cong has just come back from a long journey. He is probably very tired. Go back and rest early. There are many funerals over there." Serve some snacks and don’t let anyone talk.”
Jia Cong nodded and said, "Don't worry, old lady. The funeral's specifications won't make anyone find fault. Then my grandson will go back first."
"Go ahead, let's do business first."
Jia Cong had just taken two steps when he suddenly remembered what happened to Xiang Ling.
He turned around again, came to Lin Daiyu, and said with a smile: "I forgot one thing. My maid Xiang Ling has been obsessed with poetry recently. I am not good at poetry either, so I can only trouble Sister Lin and accept her as my daughter." Student, give her guidance when nothing happens."
Jia Cong suddenly turned around and came to Lin Daiyu, but Lin Daiyu was startled. She was really worried that he couldn't control his mouth and spoke nonsense.
When I heard what was going on, I felt relieved. After thinking about it, it was not a big deal, so I nodded in agreement.
"Since Brother Cong has spoken out, my sister has to give you face. Just ask Xiangling to come to me when she is fine. There is no problem in teaching her."
"Then thank you Sister Lin. When this matter is over, thank you Sister Lin properly."
Lin Daiyu nodded in agreement and watched Jia Cong leave the room.
Jia Cong left Jia Mu's courtyard and came all the way to the East Road Courtyard.
Maybe the concierge sent a message and knew that Jia Cong was coming. Jia She rarely drank with his wife, but sat in the hall with Mrs. Xing to talk.
This scene is very rare, at least Jia Cong has never seen it.
Jia Cong took a step forward and bowed: "Greetings to the master, and greetings to the madam. We haven't seen each other for a few years. How are you and your wife always in good health?"
Mrs.
"Reincarnation Paradise"
Jia Cong said: "To reply to my wife, I set off immediately after receiving the news from the Ministry of War. I just arrived home this afternoon."
Jia She looked at Jia Cong for a few times, nodded and said, "You have indeed grown up. You have done well in the past few years. You have made me proud and brought honor to our ancestors. You have not suffered any injuries on the battlefield, right?"
Jia Cong said: "Thank you for your concern, sir. I was well prepared for going out this time. I wore full armor and had guards around me to protect me, so I was not injured. This is also thanks to my help."
After hearing this, Jia She smiled and waved his hand and said: "Although I helped a little, it's not worth mentioning. The great contribution you made this time was all due to your own ability. What's more, your luck is so good." .
You haven't seen those veteran generals who have been in the army all their lives and have no decent military achievements. They all rely on seniority. And in just a few years, you have accomplished the goals that they could not achieve in their entire lives. It's really amazing to think about it. Somewhat incredible. "
Jia Cong smiled and said: "I also think I'm very lucky. I was going to do business on the grassland, but I accidentally killed the barbarian mission, which led to a war between the two sides. So I took advantage of the situation and joined the army. What happened next.”
Jia She nodded and said: "Just calm down when you come back this time. Let's take care of Brother Jing's funeral first. We'll talk about other things later. It shouldn't be possible to go out again. We should arrange a position for you in the capital." .
In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't go out, it will be safer to stay in the capital, and we will feel more at ease. Besides, you are getting older. When this matter is over, it is time to discuss the marriage. There is no girl in your house. Neither can the master. "
After hearing this, Mrs. Xing couldn't help but make plans in her heart.
Brother Cong is quite filial to himself. Every New Year, he will give him three thousand taels of silver, and he will not be short of gifts for each New Year.
It would be a bit awkward if he married a wife and didn't deal with it.
Although my niece is a bit different in status, she has a very good personality and appearance. If she becomes a niece, she will be considered a close relative. Will she still not listen to me in the future?
Thinking of this, he said: "Master, my natal niece is one year younger than Brother Cong, and her character and appearance are both good. If you have no objection, I can write to them and ask them to come over and let Brother Cong meet me?" "
Jia She shook his head directly and said: "No, your mother's family has fallen into such a state of decline. Cong'er is now a marquis, and he may become a duke in a while. Do you think it's appropriate?"
If you want to get married, it is best to be from the same family, so that you can help each other when something happens. Besides, Cong'er is a young and powerful young man and is very popular. As long as he opens his mouth, many people will come to propose marriage. "
Mrs. Xing also knew the situation at her brother's house, so she stopped talking when Jia She disagreed, but she secretly thought it was a pity.
Jia She turned to look at Jia Cong and asked, "Do you have any ideas of your own? Is there anyone you like? If not, I will find someone to help you after this matter is over."
Jia Cong did not expect that this cheap man would care about his marriage, and he did not expect that Mrs. Xing would actually want to introduce Xing Xiyan to him.
Although Xing Xiyan has a good personality, she is incomparable to Baochai and Daiyu. With Baochai and Daiyu here, how could he choose her?
Seeing Jia She asking himself, Jia Cong thought for a while and decided to tell Jia She what happened between himself and Lin Daiyu.
Although he is the head of the family in Ningguo Mansion, now that Jia Jing is dead, there is no elder in Dong Mansion.
Nowadays, marriages are all about the orders of parents. According to the matchmaker, it is best for the elders to take part in your own marriage.
After all, Jia She is his biological father, so it is very appropriate for him to come forward to help him.
I really didn't count on him before. I thought that when I saw Lin Ruhai, I would bring it up directly in person. With my current position of power, there are really few people except those princes and grandsons who can compare with me. I don't expect Lin Ruhai to refuse. .
In fact, Lin Ruhai sent Daiyu to Jia's house with the intention of being an orphan. Why wouldn't he be happy if he could see that his daughter had a good home?
However, since Jia She jumped out and took the initiative to mention this matter, let him help him organize it.
"Master, I plan to marry cousin Lin. I had already planned this when I left the capital three years ago. I thought I would marry her after I returned to the capital after performing meritorious service, but I didn't expect that I came back because of a funeral.
It seems that the marriage has to be postponed for a while, and we can talk about the marriage after the period of filial piety is over. "
Hearing this, Jia She pondered for a while and said: "Girl Lin was a little weak when she first came here. After practicing kung fu in the past few years, she has no health problems and is actually a good child. You told the old lady about this." ?"
Jia Cong shook his head and said: "I didn't say it yet. I planned to talk about it after I came back. After all, I was still young at that time. I was afraid that if I told you in advance, there would be trouble again if I wasn't at home, so I didn't mention it to anyone.
In the past few years, I have been away from home, and I have always asked Ping'er and the others to take care of Sister Lin. The old lady is so shrewd, she must have known about it for a long time, but she just didn't say it out loud. "
Jia She said: "Let's put this matter aside for the time being. You finish handling the funeral in Dongfu first. After a while, I will write a letter to brother-in-law Lin to mention you and Miss Lin. It’s settled.”
Jia Cong said: "Thank you, sir. I won't bother you more about the child's marriage."
Jia She smiled and said: "You are my son, I don't worry about your marriage, who does? Don't worry, this matter will be taken care of for you.
You are now a young prince, you can be said to be prosperous and have a bright future. In the eyes of most people, you are a piece of cake. Many people have come to me to inquire about your marriage and want to get married to you.
I feel a little regretful now. I let you adopt Dongfu in the first place. I let Dongfu get such a big advantage in vain. I feel uncomfortable when I think about it. "
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Master, there is no need to be like this. Even if I go to Dongfu, isn't he still your son? Now that Master Dongfu is gone, you are my dearest elder."
Jia She nodded when he heard this. Although this child went to Dongfu, he still paid a lot of filial piety every year, which was much better than Lian'er and his wife. He believed this.
The two chatted for a few more words, and then Jia Cong said goodbye and left.
Returning to Ningguo Mansion, I learned about the funeral procedures with Jia Lian.
On these forty-nine days, one hundred and eight monks were invited to worship the "Great Compassion Repentance" in the hall to save the souls of the dead. Another altar was set up in the Tianxiang Tower, which was ninety-nine. A Quanzhen Taoist priest, he spent nineteen days to resolve grievances and cleanse his karma.
During this period, all relatives and friends, young and old, come to the house to express their condolences.
As a filial son, Jia Cong had to kneel down and thank those who came to express condolences.
In the past few days, the younger members of the clan had done the work for them, but now that Jia Cong is back, naturally they can no longer let anyone else do the work.
In the evening, Jia Lian and his wife were sent away, and Jia Cong returned to the back house.
"Uncle Cong, you are back."
Jia Cong followed the sound and saw Qin Keqing walking towards him.
Qin Keqing's appearance is enchanting and beautiful, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as peerless elegance.
There is a trace of Daiyu in her graceful figure, and her plump figure is quite similar to Baochai. She is worthy of being a woman with the beauty of Baochai.
After not seeing each other for three years, the beauty has become even more mature and beautiful. Although she has the beauty of Bao Dai, she does not have the youthfulness of Baochai, nor the immaturity of Daiyu. She is a enchanting beauty with a charming brilliance that makes people want to In my arms.
"Well, I'm back. I haven't seen her for so many years. My nephew and wife are getting more and more beautiful. I can't even bear to blink."
A gust of fragrant wind blew against his face. Qin Keqing came to Jia Cong, covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Although Uncle Cong has grown taller, his mouth has not changed at all. It is still as smooth as before."
Jia Cong chuckled and said, "Have you ever tasted it? How do you know if your mouth is oily and your tongue is slippery?"
Qin Keqing rolled her eyes at Jia Cong and asked, "Uncle Cong, I really want to try it, but do you dare to let me try it?"
After saying that, he took a step forward, reached out and took Jia Cong's arm, raised a smile, and came close to Jia Cong's eyes.
Looking at the beautiful face that almost stuck to his own face, a faint fragrance penetrated into Jia Cong's nose, making Jia Cong couldn't help but feel flushed and feverish. He lowered his head inexplicably and slowly approached the alluring red face. lip.
After a burst of laughter, Qin Keqing let go of her arm, took a step back, and looked at herself with a smile.
"Uncle Cong, Yuanyang and Heping'er have prepared the reception banquet and are just waiting for Uncle Cong. They are here to urge Uncle Cong to attend the banquet. Let's go quickly."
Unexpectedly, he was dazzled by this little goblin again. Jia Cong couldn't help but secretly cursed the vixen.
Looking at the little goblin walking in front, twisting and turning, Jia Cong shouted: "Bold goblin, where are you going? Watch the stick."
