Rongguo Mansion, Lixiangyuan.
Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai, Xue Pan, a family of three are talking in Aunt Xue's room.
"Mom, you can't drag on my sister's matter like this any longer. If only you had listened to me earlier. You have to wait until Brother Cong comes back. This time it's better. He's dead and he has to keep his filial piety and delay it again. ”
Xue Pan looked dissatisfied and complained about his mother.
This woman is really short-sighted. A marriage that is so good must be put off again and again. She is worried about this and that. Who knows what will happen if she continues to put it off.
Ever since his sister failed to enter the palace, Xue Pan attracted Jia Cong's attention.
Firstly, because Jia Cong is a young nobleman and a young marquis, he can be said to be both civil and military, capable, and good at making money. He is a quick son-in-law who is difficult to find even with a lantern.
Jia Cong, the Marquis, earned his fortune through his own efforts, unlike other dignitaries in the capital who all inherited their wealth from their ancestors. For this reason alone, no one could match him.
Another thing is that Jia Cong has a good relationship with his sister. They are both interested in each other and get along well.
Once she gets married, she will be the mistress of Ningguo Mansion, the Marquise, and that is her destiny.
It's really much better than entering the palace as a female official. It sounds nice to be a female official, but in fact she is still a palace maid, just like the eldest maid in the family, a palace maid with a higher status.
Even if she follows the princess, she is just a high-level maid, and she is not as comfortable as being her own master.
In addition, I have made a lot of money with Jia Cong's help over the years. I know that Jia Cong is a trustworthy person who sincerely helps me and has never calculated against myself. He is a truly trustworthy person.
Although I don't know how much Jia Cong's net worth is, he is definitely richer than his own family.
That is the real rich man. Baochai will never suffer if he marries her, and his family will truly have a backer.
My uncle Wang Ziteng was more powerful than the Jia family. Why didn't I go to the Wang family to join the Jia family instead? Isn't it because I was afraid of being eaten and wiped clean after entering the door?
I have been dating Jia Cong for many years. Although we don't spend much time together, we have always gotten along well. Compared with other relatives and friends, I am more willing to trust Jia Cong.
Aunt Xue sighed and said: "Brother Cong, I like this kid very much. He is indeed a good match for your sister. This is not because he has been away from home and is fighting outside. The battlefield is fierce and dangerous. If anything happens, Anyway, what should I do if I call you my sister?
I was thinking that it would not be too late to bring this matter up again after Brother Cong comes back safely. Brother Cong has not forgotten your sister in these years. He gives your sister many gifts every year and also gives many things to our family. , he still has your sister in his heart.
I just didn't expect that his father was gone. The funeral had just been held, so it wouldn't be appropriate to mention it now, right? "
Xue Pan said: "It's really not appropriate to mention it now. If not, I'll talk to him privately first. It's best to settle it first so that people can rest assured."
Aunt Xue said: "Brother Cong is back and we can't run away. Why are you so anxious? I haven't seen you anxious about your own marriage?"
"Hey, my dear mother, please be more careful. Brother Cong is a hot commodity now. If you don't hurry up, it will be snatched away. I went out during this period, and many people asked me about Brother Cong. Are you engaged? Don’t you understand what it means?

There are more people who go to Jia Lian to inquire, and they are all from wealthy families. Just because Brother Cong is still observing filial piety, they have not taken action yet. If they wait any longer, they will probably be in trouble.
I also heard that my uncle also fell in love with Brother Cong and wanted to marry his cousin Wang. It was also delayed because of the funeral, so we must hurry up. I will invite Brother Cong in a few days to try to solve this matter. Set it down. "
When Aunt Xue heard this, she couldn't help but be a little surprised. She didn't expect that Brother Cong would be so popular. It seemed that he really took advantage of it.
He knew the situation of his own family. Although he was called an imperial merchant, he was actually just a businessman. He was really incomparable with those wealthy nobles. Apart from Bao Yatou's good looks, his family had no advantages.
Even his brother Wang Ziteng has taken a liking to Brother Cong, which further illustrates Brother Cong's value.
She knew that her brother had very high standards. None of the descendants of the four major families were attracted by him. She never expected that Brother Cong would fall in his eyes.
"Pan'er, who did you hear about your uncle's crush on Brother Cong? Is it reliable?"
Xue Pan said: "I heard from my cousin from the Wang family. My uncle sent a letter to my aunt, asking her to go to Jia's house to propose marriage. My aunt discussed it with my aunt, but I didn't know why she gave up."
Aunt Xue said: "Your aunt and Brother Cong don't want to deal with each other. Your aunt came to discuss it with her. It's strange that she could have something nice to say. I guess it was blocked by your aunt."
Xue Baochai said: "Even if my aunt doesn't stop her, it probably won't happen. If the cousin of the Wang family really wants to marry into the Jia family, then the entire back house of the Jia family will belong to the women of the Wang family. In this case, the old lady probably won't do it." Will agree."
Aunt Xue nodded and said: "That's indeed the truth. If your aunt, Feng Yatou, comes one more, there will be three. If it were me, I wouldn't want to see this situation.
We are different. With Bao Yatou's appearance, ordinary people really can't compare to her. Even the old lady likes her very much. Coupled with our relationship with Brother Cong, I think this matter can be done 80% of the time. "
Xue Pan nodded and said: "I also think it can be done. The two of them were very harmonious together in the past. It can be seen that Brother Cong likes his sister very much. This is our advantage. We must seize it and we can't do it anymore." Put it off, otherwise it will really turn out to be bad. Where will we find such a good family then?"
Aunt Xue said: "Now that Brother Cong is back, I won't stop him anymore. You can test Brother Cong's tone first and try to make a verbal decision first. After the 100-day festival, I will discuss it with the old lady. .”
Xue Pan said: "Since I came back from Tiekan Temple, apart from going to the old lady to say hello, Brother Cong has been staying at home and has not gone anywhere. I will talk to Brother Cong in the next few days."
Xue Baochai listened to her mother and brother talking about her marriage, and had no intention of avoiding it. After all, they were all close family members.
She still admired Jia Cong very much. To say how much she liked him, she didn't know. After all, Jia Cong was still a little kid at that time. Who would like a little kid?
Of course, chatting and joking with Jia Cong, we still get along very harmoniously.
That smooth-tongued bad boy is still very entertaining.

When Baochai found out that she had lost the election, instead of feeling disappointed, Baochai breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't understand why she had such a reaction.
Do you really want to be with that bad boy in your heart?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little more worried.
When I went to Lin Yatou's place, I saw Ping'er and Yuanyang several times. The two of them would not go to Lin Yatou for no reason.
Although it was in the name of delivering things, I went there too often.
It is very likely that Brother Cong wanted them to help take care of Lin Yatou, so the meaning is a bit intriguing.
One time, I accidentally saw a string of pearls on Lin Yatou's wrist. Each pearl was round and round, with a hazy light shining on it. It looked like the best jewelry at first glance.
And it looks very much like the precious Dongzhu, which can only be found among the barbarians.
In recent years, the relationship between Da Chu and the barbarians has been in a state of hostility, and business relations have long been severed. Dongzhu has long been priceless in the capital. If you have money, there is no place to buy it, and the price is quite expensive.
Lin Yatou's bracelet must have been given by someone else, but no one else was found to have worn it at Jia's house, not even Jia's mother.
Brother Cong has been fighting in Liaodong these years, so he should have a chance to get it. The bracelet of Lin Yatou is probably given by Brother Cong.
Although Lin Yatou always carries it, she hides it in her sleeve so that no one can see it, which explains the problem.
If it was as I guessed, then Brother Cong and Lin Yatou must have an affair, so who would I be?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little miserable.
Why! It was really a fate that played tricks on people. It would have been better if he had not entered the palace.
Xue Pan saw that Xue Baochai was deep in thought and said nothing, and asked: "Sister, you are an idea person. If you have any ideas or ideas, you can also speak out. This is related to your life-long matter, there is no need to be shy."
Xue Baochai said: "I don't have any ideas. Everything should be done according to the wishes of my mother and brother."
My brother has been doing business with Brother Cong in the past few years and has made a lot of money. He has been immersed in his own achievements. He has made a lot of progress and has made his mother worry a lot.
He also admired Brother Cong very much, so he insisted on promoting this marriage.
However, Brother Cong is indeed a capable person. If he can succeed, he will definitely be a good match for him. As for whether he can succeed, it depends on God's will.
······
Jia Cong returned to Ningguo Mansion and summoned Tiezhu, Yueya, and Wangcai in the study room in the front yard.
These three people were the first to follow him and were his old team members.
"Tie Zhu, how is the investigation on Xuan Zhen Guan? Did you find anything?"
Tie Zhu cupped his hands and said: "Returning to the Marquis, we have thoroughly checked Xuan Zhen Guan inside and outside. We also took back the elixirs in the master's room and asked Miss Han to help test them. Finally, it was confirmed that the master's death was indeed a cause of death." Caused by taking pills.
However, some Taoist priests reported that someone came to see the master last year, but the master did not see him and was sent away directly. As for who it was, it was too long to find out who it was. "

Jia Cong frowned when he heard this. It was indeed difficult to investigate what happened a year ago, and it probably had nothing to do with Jia Jing's death. Since there was no problem with Jia Jing's death, he felt relieved.
"If everything is okay, I'll rest assured. Let's end this matter. I should stay in the capital when I come back this time. This entire divine capital may be our battlefield.
You must be prepared and check out the situation in the capital in advance so that you are well aware of it. There is some information in Yue Ya. You can also take a look at it first to understand the general situation. It should be helpful for your next actions. "
Tie Zhu said: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, we will definitely find out all the forces in the city."
Jia Cong nodded and said: "If we stay in the capital, we will inevitably confront various forces. Make preparations in advance to avoid being caught off guard."
He turned to look at Yueya and said, "Yueya, is there anything going on with Jia Rui?"
Yue Ya smiled and said: "The second grandma is very busy during this period. Jia Rui went to look for her twice but saw no one. Now that the second grandma is free, Jia Rui will probably come to her soon.
I have already arranged for him. As soon as he enters Rongguo Mansion, he will be unable to stay out of our sight. "
Jia Cong said: "You just have to watch. The second sister-in-law should have a way to cure him. This bastard doesn't even wipe his eyes to see if he is someone he can mess with."
Yue Ya said: "I know Lord Hou, we are just spectators."
Let Yue Ya and Tiezhu go down to sort out the information, leaving Wang Cai to ask him about the situation there.
During this period, Wangcai went to the barbarian tribe again and brought back news about Amin and Water Monkey.
"Master Marquis, there is nothing going on with the barbarians for the time being, but Water Monkeys and the others have taken their warships to the South China Sea. Those people have been away from Master Marquis for a long time, and now they are getting more and more wild. Can you send some people to rotate them, so as not to They are becoming more and more unruly.”
Jia Cong thought for a while and said: "They were all trained by me, so they shouldn't betray me. However, they have been outside for a long time, have no control, and are used to freedom, which can easily breed ambition.
The sea route is the escape route I have prepared. There must be no problems. I can't go out to sea for the time being. You can take charge of the logistics on the island over there. Only the Water Monkeys are responsible for fighting and exploring the sea route. "
Wang Cai said: "Master Hou, who will manage the fleet?"
Jia Cong said: "The fleet is still managed by you, and the transactions with the barbarians cannot be left to outsiders. You arrange a few stewards on the island to help you manage it. How many things can be done in such a big place, and you don't need to stay there every day?" where.
Sending you there is just an attitude, to send a signal to the Water Monkeys and make them more or less restrained. After a while, I will divide them into two parts, one part will stay in the East China Sea, and the other part will go to the South China Sea to develop.
In addition, you prepare a large passenger ship for me, decorate it well, arrange some reliable sailors, and park it at the pier closest to the capital. I will use it in a while. "
Wangcai nodded and said: "I know Lord Hou, I will take care of these things one by one. If there is nothing else, I will leave for the island tomorrow."
Jia Cong said: "That's all for now, go ahead and pay more attention to yourself."

Wangcai smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, after all, I have been with you for so many years, I am still very sure about these things."
This guy followed him smoothly, a little drifting.
Jia Cong patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's a good thing to have confidence, but you shouldn't be too careless. Otherwise, if something happens, it will be too late to regret it."
"Yes, Lord Marquis, my subordinates will be more careful and will never embarrass Lord Marquis."
Wangcai bowed solemnly, turned around and left the study.
