The table was already filled with wine and food.
Yuanyang, Ping'er, Youshi and others were sitting and talking, waiting for Jia Cong's arrival.
Seeing Qin Keqing running in panting, everyone looked puzzled, what happened to this person today?
Youshi asked: "Brother Rong, daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you? Isn't it possible that someone is chasing you away? Didn't they tell you to call Master Hou?"
Qin Keqing took a breath and said, "Uncle Cong said he was going to beat me with a stick, which scared me so much that I ran back."
Youshi glanced at her with a puzzled look on her face, and saw that although she was out of breath from running, there was no hint of fear in her expression, and she suddenly understood.
The two of them must have been flirting and making fun of each other, and I couldn't help but secretly cursed them as vixens.
Although this is his daughter-in-law in name only and he can take care of her, he doesn't want to offend Jia Cong because of her and have to rely on Jia Cong for the rest of his life.
If Jia Cong likes it, she is even willing to help Jia Cong get his wife here into bed.
She even envied Qin Keqing's youth and beauty. She knew in her heart that sooner or later, this little goblin would climb into Jia Cong's bed.
Youshi has been following Jia Zhen for more than ten years and has never seen anything out of the ordinary. These things are really nothing in her eyes.
In order to please Jia Cong, she also worked hard and came up with various tricks, and even wanted to give two unrelated sisters to Jia Cong.
However, Jia Cong kept his integrity and practiced martial arts hard at Zhuangzi all year round, leaving him no chance at all.
Youshi really admired his brother-in-law. If it had been anyone else, such a delicious and delicious little lady would have been eaten dry long ago. He didn't touch her at all except for his mouth.
The key is to have the ability. Within less than a year after leaving, he came back as a prince. I heard that if the court hadn't been suppressing him, he would have been a prince long ago.
Youshi retracted her thoughts and asked, "Is the Marquis here?"
"Here we come, right behind."
Qingwen couldn't help but curl her lips. She had seen Jia Cong's big stick before. Although she had never been beaten before, could that thing really chase people and hit them? Qingwen didn't believe it at all.
The grandma Xiaorong in front of her is the prettiest in the house, even prettier than herself. If the Marquis likes her..., thinking of this, Qingwen actually felt a sense of crisis.
Jia Cong walked in and looked at the room full of warblers and Yanyan, and couldn't help but feel very good.
"Master Marquis, I'm waiting for you. Come and take your seat."
Ping'er stepped forward and took Jia Cong's hand, came to the main seat and sat down.
Jia Cong took a look around and saw that everything that was supposed to come was here, even his old teammate Yue Ya was here.
"Okay, there are no outsiders. Let's all sit down. Normally, banquets should not be held during the master's funeral. It's just that we all got together again after more than three years of separation. Let's make an exception today."
Youshi smiled and said: "This is not a big deal. We have to eat after all. Just drink as little wine as possible so as not to delay tomorrow's business."
Jia Cong nodded and said: "I have been in Liaodong for more than three years. Thanks to your support at home, I have no worries and can fight with peace of mind. You are all my heroes. I give you a toast."
Everyone was touched by Jia Cong's words. Ping'er said: "The Marquis is out fighting on the battlefield, and we can't do much to help him. We can only help the Marquis take care of his home and let him concentrate on the war."
Yuanyang smiled and said: "Master Hou has become famous this time when he comes back. We also want to congratulate Master Hou."
Xichun said: "Brother, thank you for the gift you gave me. My sister also wants to toast you."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Okay, I'll have a drink with my sister."
Everyone was drinking and chatting, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
But after all, there was a funeral at home, so everyone was very restrained. They ended the banquet early, talked for a while and then dispersed.
After driving for seven or eight days in a row, Jia Cong was a little tired, so he lay down early.
Yuanyang and Ping'er were leaning on the bed, talking to Jia Cong.
Ping'er briefly talked to Jia Cong about the family affairs and business matters in recent years.
I was a little puzzled that Wangcai had withdrawn a large amount of money, so I asked.
"Master Marquis, the money Wangcai took away is quite a lot of money. What was the money used for? I wouldn't even tell him if I asked him."
Jia Cong thought for a while and said: "This is my share of property outside. As for what it is? I won't tell you for now. It's not that I don't trust you, but I'm afraid that if you accidentally let it slip, it might cause trouble." Disaster.
In the future, if you want to use money for prosperity, just allocate it to him from the inner treasury. You just need to create an account book here and record the accounts clearly. He also makes money there, but he uses it elsewhere. He will record the money in the future. of.
Regarding this matter, don’t mention it to anyone, just a few of us know about it, so as not to create more details. "
Ping'er nodded and said, "I feel relieved when Lord Marquis says this. Otherwise, so much money was shipped away without an explanation, and I wouldn't be able to let it go.
There are also ginseng, mink skins and other materials that the Marquis has sent home over the years. There are too many of them and we can’t use them all ourselves. Should we dispose of some of them? That way you can get some money. "
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Do you still lack that little money at home? Keep it, you can use it later. Don't think it's worthless when you see that there are too many things. These things I sent home are all the best of their kind. Among us It's hard to buy anything here if you have money.
The mink skins sold on the market are all ordinary goods. The price of a mink skin is about one to two taels of silver. It takes about twenty skins to make a mink coat, worth thirty or forty taels of silver.
The price of these top-quality leathers in our home is three to five times, or even ten times higher than ordinary leathers. Even in Liaodong, they are very rare and precious. You must have people take good care of them and pay attention to insect and moisture prevention. "
Ping'er said: "Then just listen to Mr. Hou. I have arranged all the maintenance matters. Mr. Hou, don't worry."
"The price of ginseng varies even more. The ginseng we usually go to pharmacies to prepare for medicine is ginseng of one or two years. This kind of ginseng is very abundant among the barbarians, and it is also very cheap. They are all weighed by the pound. We also sell some in our warehouse.
The ginseng I brought home was not less than thirty years old. The older the ginseng is, the more valuable it is and the rarer it is. If it weren’t for chance, I wouldn’t be able to get so much. When Nianci comes back, let her make a recipe. Son, you also often make some ginseng soup and drink it. "
Yuanyang said curiously: "Master Hou, how did you get so much? I'm a little curious when you tell me. Tell us quickly. We thought it was a caravan trade before."
Jia Cong said: "Most of the ginseng traded in the caravan are less than ten years old. There are also ginseng more than ten years old, but the quantity is very small. No matter how old the ginseng is, it depends on luck.
We ginseng and mink skins, as well as Dongzhu, as well as those jewelry and other items, I snatched from the barbarian palace. You two only need to know about this, and you are not allowed to tell anyone. "
When the two heard this, their eyes widened in surprise. They could never imagine that the Marquis had snatched these things from the palace.
Yuanyang said: "Master Marquis, don't worry, we won't tell anyone. Master Marquis, are there no guards in the palace? How did you do it?"
Jia Cong said: "At that time, the barbarian Khan was fighting on the grassland. There were only two hundred guards in the palace. We went in at night and killed them all. Then we put on their clothes and loaded their things on the car. Tianyi Liang swaggered out of the city..."
The two of them were stunned for a moment. This man was so courageous. To describe it as "bold" is not an exaggeration at all.
Then Jia Cong told them that this was only a small part of the things at home, and most of them were in the convoy at the back and would be transported home in a few days. All these things were collected for their own use.
Ping'er and Yuanyang were shocked by Jia Cong's generosity.
"Master Marquis, isn't this too extravagant? When will we use up all these things?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "You girls all like to look beautiful. These mink and fox furs come in many colors. You can make a dress in each color and wear them in rotation when the time comes."
This really speaks to their hearts. Girls have no resistance to beautiful clothes.
In the next few days, Jia Cong kept vigil in the mourning hall every day. Every day, some relatives and friends came to pay their respects. Jia Lian was busy outside welcoming and sending off.
Shi Xiangyun also came to worship with her aunts. The two hadn't seen each other for more than three years, but they didn't have time to talk properly on this occasion.
The two exchanged a few brief greetings, and Shi Xiangyun left with her aunts.
A few days later, Han Nianci returned to Ningguo Mansion with his convoy.
More than a dozen carriages entered the backyard directly through the second gate.
In addition to the two carriages that Han Nianci, Da Yu'er and others were riding in, there were also three carriages loaded with the luggage of several people. The others were trophies that Jia Cong had collected from various places over the years, as well as some Liaodong specialties.
The largest batch of supplies was from Lao Nu's palace. A small part of it was shipped back one after another, and the rest was all shipped back this time.
There is also the batch of supplies obtained in exchange for the old slave's head. These are all high-end goods.
Then I went deep into the rear of the barbarians and plundered twice, but the quality of those things was too low, so I only selected a smaller part of them and kept them, and the rest were disposed of through caravans.
Five carts were filled with mink, fox fur and other furs, two carts with ginseng, one cart with deer antlers and some precious medicinal materials, and one cart with pearls, gems, jewelry, etc.
There were three carts of various dried fruits from Liaodong, and before they were all brought back, half of the house in Guangning was filled with these things.
The last three cars were all filled with boxes of gold.
Jia Cong fought in Liaodong for three years, and the battle was not in vain. Just look at these things and you will know.
He asked Yuanyang to put three carts of gold, two carts of ginseng, and one cart of pearls and precious stones into his private treasury, and let Ping'er put the rest into his inner treasury.
When the two of them saw this truckload of things, their eyes widened. It was too much.
I couldn't help but admire my own Marquis. He was very good at making money in business and good at fighting. This method of getting things was even more powerful.
There were too many things this time, so I didn’t call outsiders to avoid leaking the news and making it known to everyone.
Erya's special forces team members, and Chun Xia Qiu Dong and others were responsible for transporting and storing the items, while Ping'er and Yuanyang accounted for the rest.
Later, they arranged for Dayu'er to stay.
When Ping'er and Yuanyang saw Da Yu'er, they couldn't help but be stunned. This woman was so beautiful. Compared with Qingwen, they felt a sense of crisis in their hearts.
Yuanyang grabbed Jia Cong and asked: "Master Hou, who is this woman? She can't be your woman outside, right? Didn't you say that you should wait until you are sixteen to consummate your marriage?"
Ping'er next to him also stared at him, waiting for his explanation.
Jia Cong smiled, pulled the two of them aside, and whispered: "This girl's name is Dayu'er. She is the princess of the Horqin tribe in Mongolia. She was originally going to marry the barbarian Khan. On the way to see her off, she was killed by me. Got it back halfway.
When I received the news from my family, I was still on the grassland. Not long after I snatched her back, I brought her back along the way. You just need to know about this and don't tell others. This girl's identity is a bit special. If the court finds out, they will probably cause trouble for me. "
Ping'er said: "Master Hou, why do you dare to do anything? What are you going to do with this girl?"
Jia Cong said: "I did this to destroy the alliance between the barbarians and Horqin. What can I do if we bring everyone back? If there are more women, the house is so big that it can't be accommodated."
Yuanyang smiled and said: "Master Hou, you don't touch any of the women in the house, why are you bringing women back?"
Jia Cong reached out and touched her face, and said with a smile: "What, are you anxious? Are you anxious to be my father's woman?"
"Bah, who's worried? I'm worried for Ping'er."
"Go, go, don't use me as a cover, I'm not in a hurry."
Looking at the two of them joking with each other, they are already familiar with each other, and it is time to accept them.
"Just wait a little longer. Once the funeral arrangements are over, I will take you in and make you my real women."
······
Wang Xifeng has been busy in Dongfu these days, and she doesn't go back until very late every time.
Ping'er has tidied up a yard for her here, allowing her to rest and rest here. She can stay here when she is really tired.
On this day, Wang Xifeng stayed a little late at Tianxiang Tower and passed a rockery when he came back.
Suddenly a figure jumped out, blocking the road ahead, and said with a smile: "Greetings to my sister-in-law."
Wang Xifeng was startled and quickly took a few steps back. When she looked carefully, it turned out to be Jia Dairu's grandson Jia Rui.
I couldn't help cursing secretly in my heart, this bastard suddenly came out and almost scared me to death, but he said: "Isn't this Uncle Rui?"
Jia Rui said: "Sister-in-law, you don't even recognize me?"
Wang Xifeng said: "It's not that I don't recognize him, it's just that when I saw him suddenly, I didn't expect that Uncle Rui was here."
Jia Rui smiled and said, "It's fitting that my sister-in-law and I are destined. I just came out for some fun and wanted to be clean and pure, so I met my sister-in-law unexpectedly. Isn't this fate?"

As he spoke, he secretly looked at Sister Feng with his eyes.
Who Wang Xifeng is? Looking at his appearance, you can already guess a lot.
I couldn't help cursing secretly in my heart, 'You blind bitch, you actually set your sights on my mother, and you didn't even take a look at yourself to see what kind of virtue you have? '
Wang Xifeng said with a fake smile: "No wonder your brother often mentions you and says hello to you. I met you today and from your few words, I can tell that you are a smart and kind person. Now, the Marquis will send someone to send a message to me." , I won’t tell you anymore.”
Jia Rui said: "I want to go to my sister-in-law's house to pay my respects, but I'm afraid that my sister-in-law is young and won't want to see people easily."
Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "We are all flesh and blood, no matter how young we are."
Jia Rui was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect to have such an adventure today. He couldn't help but think about it, and the expression on his face became even more miserable.
Wang Xifeng looked disgusted and thought to herself, "How dare you do this? How long will it take for him to die in my hands to realize how powerful I am?" '
