After hearing what the second sister said, Third Sister You couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
After the death of Father You, the three of them lived together. There was no man in the family, and some scoundrels and idle men often wandered around their home, and their purpose was self-evident.
In order to protect himself, he became so aggressive and scared many people away.
This is nothing. The three of them, mother and daughter, have no means of making a living. They can only rely on the eldest sister to support them.
If I find someone who has no ability, my life in the future will not be better than now. I have really had enough of this kind of life.
Looking at the life of the eldest sister's family, it is really enviable.
This Marquis is excellent in all aspects, and is incomparable to those disciples from wealthy families. It can be said that it is difficult to find a good man even with a lantern.
In fact, I was also tempted, but I still held a trace of unrealistic fantasy.
Now hearing what the second sister said, it completely brought her back. She really didn't want to live the days like before.
"What the second sister said is that I don't want to live in poverty anymore. This prince, a young hero, is indeed what I like, but this matter is not that easy. The eldest sister started to match us up three years ago. , it hasn’t worked out so far, we still need to think about it in the long term.”
Second Sister You sighed and said, "If it were any other man, his eyes would light up when he saw us, and he would want to eat us. If we were willing to marry, he would have been happy, but this Marquis is unmoved."
Third Sister You said: "With eldest sister's help, what are you worried about? This man is not unattractive to women. With our looks, I don't believe he won't be tempted. All men in the world are lustful, but the Marquis is still young."
Second Sister You said: "Well, the eldest sister said that we should stay in the house for a while and let us get acquainted with Mr. Marquis first. This is what I wanted."
Third Sister You said with a smile: "I'm hoping that we will find a rich husband so that we can enjoy the glory and happiness. When I saw the Marquis's conditions, I have already become jealous. I wish we could get married immediately."
"My main reason is that I don't want to live a poor life anymore, so I have no choice but to pay attention to us. It's a blessing to meet someone we like."
······
Jia Cong and Qin Keqing fought for three hundred rounds, and it was not until evening that they returned to their yard refreshed.
Yuanyang asked curiously: "Master Hou, do you still have to eat for a whole day after this meal? You just came back at this time. Could it be that you were attracted by those two beauties?"
Jia Cong reached out to touch her and said with a smile: "There are so many beauties waiting for me at home. How could I be hooked? I came out after a while after eating."
Yuanyang patted Jia Cong's hand away and asked, "Then why didn't you come back? Where did you go? We are still waiting to ask, what are you going to do with those two beauties? Do you want to take them away?"
Jia Cong said: "Don't worry, it's just a meal to support my sister-in-law, nothing else. I have no intention of accepting them. Even if I accept them, I will accept you first. You are the ones." The people I really like, everyone else has to step aside.”
Ping'er smiled and said: "Master Hou is good at making people happy, but I don't know if what he is saying is true?"
Jia Cong chuckled and said, "Of course it's true. It really can't be true anymore. If you don't believe me, just ask Qingwen."
Qingwen said: "What Mr. Hou said is true, but you haven't said where you were just now? Did you get seduced by another vixen?"
Jia Cong said with a surprised look on his face: "Hey, how did you know? As soon as I came out from my sister-in-law's place, I was caught by a vixen in her cave. The vixen insisted on forcing me to come and get married. How could I do this? Can agree.
I said, I still have a few treasures at home waiting for me to consummate the marriage, but I can’t marry you. The vixen was furious when she heard this and wanted to eat me. I picked up the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and fought with her for three days. After a hundred rounds, he escaped back. "
Yuanyang chuckled and said, "Baby Ping'er, I want to consummate the marriage with you."
Ping'er laughed and scolded: "Bah, you are not serious, you should consummate your marriage with the Marquis first. The Marquis treats you as his treasure."
Qingwen said with a smile: "Master Hou, am I also your baby?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Of course, you are all my dear babies."
Yuanyang smiled and said: "Master Hou, your face is getting thicker and thicker, and you dare to say anything."
Qingwen rushed forward, hugged Jia Cong, kissed him, and said with a smile: "I am willing to be the Marquis's treasure."
Xiren covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Qingwen is becoming more and more shameless. She learned this from Mr. Hou."
Xiangling smiled for a while and asked, "Master Hou, where is that vixen?"
Jia Cong chuckled and said, "Of course that vixen was knocked down by me, otherwise how could I have escaped?"
When everyone heard this, they all laughed.
After having a simple dinner in the evening, Han Nianci had the old ginseng soup served and everyone drank a bowl.
He and Qingwen, as well as Chun Xia Qiu Dong and others, moved their hands and feet in the yard.
Then he took another medicinal bath, listened to Han Nianci read for a while, and then went to bed to rest.
Xi Ren stayed with him tonight, while everyone else went outside.
Xiren came closer to him, lay next to his ear, and asked quietly: "Master Hou, the goblin you met in the afternoon couldn't be Grandma Xiaorong? Are you two together? "
Hearing what Xi Ren said, Jia Cong was a little surprised. How could Xi Ren guess this? When did this girl become so sensitive?
Xiren is one of the three maids in the original "A Dream of Red Mansions".
Together with Yuanyang and Ping'er, due to the special status of the master they serve, the three of them also have a very special status in the Jia Mansion. Among the maids, they are the three most respectable people.
Because he follows the protagonist Baoyu, his appearance rate is also very high.
Among the women included in the second volume, only Xiren and Qingwen were named and the corresponding verdicts were written.
"I am in vain to be gentle and obedient. The empty clouds are like osmanthus and orchid. I admire the actors and actresses and are blessed. Who knows that the young master will not be destined."
Xiren is loyal, prudent in doing things, gentle and submissive, and tolerant of both superiors and inferiors.
As the judgment said, her character is like Gui Rulan. As a maid, she does her duty and is loyal to her master. Her character is very likeable.
Xiren is also the maid that Jia Mu values most, and she is the most at ease with her.
Although her appearance is a little worse than Qingwen's, it's not much different. The key is that Qingwen is so good-looking.
There is no ugly girl around Jia Mu. This old lady likes girls who are good-looking and well-behaved, and she will not let ugly girls around her.
Therefore, no matter whether they are Yuanyang or Xiren, including Zijuan, Amber, Jade and other maids, there is no bad appearance, at least they are of top quality.
Ever since he got involved with Jia Cong by accident, he used the excuse of being drunk to get to Jia Cong's side as he wished.
He also took meticulous care of Jia Cong, which can be said to be dedicated and loyal.
This is also Xiren’s favorite place.
Jia Cong's four maids are Yuanyang, Xiren, Qingwen and Xiangling.
Among the four people, Qingwen was more playful. She had followed Jia Cong the longest and fought with him for many years. She was the most favored. She was best at needlework. Most of Jia Cong's clothes were made by Qingwen.
Xiangling is relatively well-behaved, sensible and obedient, a bit silly and cute. Recently, she has become obsessed with poetry. She is often absent-minded and somewhat obsessed.
Yuanyang has a strong personality. He has been with Jia Mu for many years. He has outstanding abilities and is well-organized. He is a rare talent.
After following Jia Cong, he was responsible for managing all the affairs in Jia Cong's yard. The maids and women were in charge of Jia Cong's private house and treasury, and took care of all the affairs in an orderly manner.
Xiren is attentive, gentle and considerate, so he spends more time serving Jia Cong. He can be said to be hard-working and diligent.
Jia Cong also liked and was very satisfied with such an attacker.
Jia Cong turned sideways and faced the attacker.
Because Xi Ren was lying next to his ear and whispering, their faces were almost touching.
The attacker did not hide back, but leaned directly up, put his arms around Jia Cong's neck, and rubbed his beautiful little face against Jia Cong's face.
Jia Cong hugged her waist and kissed her on the mouth.
He whispered: "I did meet that little goblin. I went to her place for a while, but I didn't do anything. I just talked for a while. Are you anxious? I'll be happy with you in a few days. If you have a room, I’ll take you in.”
In order to avoid trouble, I decided not to tell her.
Although the three people all have the same little secret, it doesn't mean that they don't have their own little thoughts.
If there are too many women, there will be comparisons.
Xiren leaned into Jia Cong's arms and whispered: "I'm not in a hurry. I've been waiting for so many years. Do I still care about these days? Besides, the Marquis will be sixteen soon, so he can't wait much longer.
Mr. Hou, are you really not with Grandma Xiaorong? Why do I feel like she's been acting weird lately, and she's always making turtle soup for you to drink. She's a little too attentive, and Yuanyang and Ping'er are a little suspicious.
If everyone hadn't known about Mr. Hou and believed in his character, they would probably have caught the traitor. You'd better remind Grandma Xiaorong to pay more attention in the future. There are no fools in this room. "
What Xi Ren said was true, and Jia Cong also felt that what Qin Keqing did was a bit too obvious.
It would have been nice to just do nothing and pretend that nothing was wrong, but instead I went to unnecessary lengths to show off my little cleverness.
He didn't even look at the people in his room. How could anyone be stupid?
They say women become stupid when they fall in love, and it seems true. I used to be very thoughtful and safe in doing things.
The current state of the two of them is that they are in a passionate love, and it is really like not seeing each other for one day.
It seems that the next time I see her, I have to remind her. If this continues, the secret will be revealed sooner or later.
"Well, I'll remind her to pay attention to her next time I see her. I don't pay much attention to these things. Besides, you also know her situation. She will definitely be my woman in the future, but her status is more embarrassing.
She is destined to be unable to come to the stage and stay by my side legitimately. This is incomparable to you. You can at least be an aunt and stay by my side legitimately. "
This kind of thing happened all the time in the mansion, so Xiren didn't care, he just wanted to explore Jia Cong's tone.
"Everyone knows about Grandma Xiaorong. It will be a matter of time before she gets together with the Marquis. No one cares about it. Just don't be too showy. What everyone cares about is not to let her get the first advantage."
The little thoughts of these women are indeed not easy to understand, and they really agreed with Qin Keqing's words.
"Well, I understand. I will pay attention to it in the future. You reminded me in time this time. It is a great achievement of yours. How do you want me to reward you? How about..."
Jia Cong leaned close to Xi Ren's ear and whispered a few words quietly.
Hearing this, Xiren's face turned red with embarrassment and he buried himself directly in Jia Cong's arms.
She said shyly: "Master Hou, you are so bad."
The two played around for a while before falling asleep in each other's arms.
The next day, Jia Cong still accompanied the soldiers to train on the school field.
Just after training for a while, a young eunuch came to the palace.
"Master Ning, please pass on the emperor's instructions to enter the palace immediately to meet the saint."
Jia Cong cupped his hands in the direction of the palace and said, "Your Majesty, Jia Cong, accept the order."
Then he stepped forward and handed a banknote to the little eunuch.
The little eunuch glanced at it and looked at the face value. He smiled happily and secretly praised the Lord Marquis for his generosity.
Jia Cong also didn't expect that the emperor would come to see him so quickly. He thought he would have to wait until he took the initiative to meet the emperor.
What he didn’t say was that when the emperor summoned him, he would go immediately no matter what happened.
At that moment, he took Li Biao and a group of soldiers and rode to the imperial city.
When he arrived at the entrance of the palace, he asked Li Biao and others to wait outside, and followed the young eunuch to the imperial study.
Jia Cong took a few steps forward, knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, Jia Cong, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Seeing Jia Cong come in, Emperor Longqing looked a little confused. The little kid three years ago has now grown into a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old.
He never thought that the little guy three years ago would bring him so many surprises. He was truly my champion.
"Raise your head and let me see what changes you have made over the years. If I don't call you into the palace, why don't you come to see me?"
Jia Cong raised his head, looked at Emperor Longqing, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I am still observing my filial piety and dare not come to see Your Majesty."
Emperor Long Qing nodded and said, "You have indeed grown up, and become a little darker. Let's get flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jia Cong stood up and stood aside, with his hands hanging down.
"I am very pleased that you have made many military exploits in Liaodong this time. You have not let me down. You are worthy of being a descendant of Duke Rong and a son of a general."
Jia Cong cupped his hands and said, "Everything depends on His Majesty's great blessing. It's a bit incredible to think about it now that the last general can achieve such a feat."
This little guy can talk, and he is not arrogant even though he has made great achievements, which is indeed rare.
"Your family's funeral has been completed, what do you think now?"
Jia Cong was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, don't you still have to observe mourning for three years?"
Emperor Longqing smiled and said: "After the death of parents, court officials need to resign and return to their hometown to observe filial piety for their parents for twenty-seven months. This is called Ding You. Only civil servants in this dynasty need Ding You.
You are a military general. You don't need to resign. You only need to take a hundred days' leave. Of course, if you want to observe filial piety for three years, I can't stop you. After all, it is your filial piety. "
