The news that Lin Ruhai was critically ill sent Rongguo Mansion into a panic.
The old lady, the first bedroom, and the second bedroom all have their own little thoughts.
But today is different from the past. Whether it is Jia Cong or Lin Daiyu, it is a hurdle that they cannot overcome.
Without Jia Cong's presence, Lin Daiyu, an orphan, would have no choice but to be at their mercy.
Now, Jia Cong and Lin Daiyu have come together and become Lin Daiyu's biggest supporter.
Lin Daiyu is no longer the timid, weak, sad and sentimental person she once was, and she weeps alone until dawn.
Her temperament was originally a bit rebellious, but after following Jia Cong for a long time, she accepted some weird ideas, her personality changed a lot, and she became a little thick-skinned.
If the people in Rongguo Mansion want to plot against her again, she will not have an easy time at this level.
It was originally agreed upon that Jia Lian should accompany Lin Daiyu to Yangzhou to help deal with the follow-up matters. Daiyu was busy taking care of Lin Ruhai and naturally had no time for others, so Jia Lian had the final say in everything.
Daiyu has never managed a house, so she doesn't know how much assets the family has, so the maneuverability is great.
Therefore, these people had no intention of letting Jia Cong go.
After all, this trip cannot be short, and I am afraid that Jia Cong will delay his errand, so it is the best of both worlds.
However, what they don't know is that Jia Cong doesn't care much about this position. On the contrary, he cares more about the people around him.
When Jia Mu heard that the boat had been prepared, she felt guilty. Didn't she just get the news? When will we prepare the boat? Could it be that this kid already knew this?
Mother Jia asked doubtfully: "Brother Cong, what are you doing preparing the boat? Where do you want to go?"
Jia Cong said: "Old lady, I originally thought about taking time to take Sister Lin home to see her. After all, she has been away from home for many years, and I would like to take a look at Uncle Lin.
So, they had someone prepare a boat. However, after working as an errand, I didn't have much freedom, so I put it down temporarily. It was a coincidence that it came in handy now. "
Jia Mu nodded when she heard this. This bastard really wanted to come out all at once.
However, he treats Yu'er really well. Yu'er is lucky to follow him, and he is worthy of his daughter.
Thinking of his daughter, who died so early, and who had to give up her white hair to a black-haired one, I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in my heart.
I felt depressed for a while and suddenly lost my interest.
He waved his hand and said: "Okay, you all go down and get ready. Brother Cong, take good care of Yu'er for me. Don't let her suffer any injustice, otherwise I won't agree."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Old lady, don't worry. I will take Yuanyang and Xiangling with me and let them be responsible for this trip. You should feel relieved to have Yuanyang following you, right?"
Jia's mother said: "Well, I am still very relieved about Yuanyang. I feel more at ease with her following me. How big of a boat have you built? Can it accommodate more people?"
Jia Cong said: "I asked someone to build a three-story building boat. It can carry hundreds of people without any problem. The boat is big and stable. It is much more convenient to drive the carriage directly to the boat."
Jia Mu nodded and asked everyone to leave.
After Jia Cong left, he first went to Lin Daiyu's yard, thinking of comforting her to prevent her from being too sad.
Seeing Jia Cong coming over, Lin Daiyu said with some hesitation: "Brother Cong, I'm so worried about my father's condition."
Seeing Lin Daiyu's sad and helpless look, Jia Cong felt a little distressed.
He walked forward, hugged her into his arms, and comforted her: "Okay, don't worry about it, I will let Nian Ci go with us. Her medical skills are much better than ordinary doctors.
When I was in Liaodong, I got half a thousand-year-old ginseng, and I asked Nian Ci to take it with me. I can use it if necessary. Don't worry, Uncle Lin will be fine. "
Lin Daiyu didn't struggle and lay obediently on Jia Cong's chest. At this moment, she felt extremely relieved.
"Well, I listened to Brother Cong and let Brother Cong worry about it."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Are you so polite to me? Besides, now Uncle Lin is my father-in-law, how can I not take it seriously?"
Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes at Jia Cong, raised her hand and beat him twice on the chest.
"I dare not say anything, and I am not afraid of others listening."
Jia Cong said with a smile: "We are under the orders of our parents, and we are aboveboard. What is there to be afraid of?"
Lin Daiyu thought for a while and realized that was really the case.
My father agreed, my uncle agreed, and the old lady agreed to my marriage to Brother Cong. This was really the order of my parents and the words of the matchmaker, and it was fair and aboveboard.
Even so, I still feel a little embarrassed to say it directly. I am not as thick-skinned as Brother Cong.
Thinking of this, he temporarily forgot his sorrow and couldn't help but giggle.
Jia Cong asked curiously: "Why are you smiling so happily? Could it be that you are thinking about us getting married and entering the bridal chamber."
Lin Daiyu punched him and spat: "Bah, you know how to talk nonsense, you are really shameless."
After this nonsense, Lin Daiyu's mood improved significantly.
Jia Cong kissed her little face and said, "If you are too thin-skinned, how could you marry such a beautiful and good wife?"
These words made Lin Daiyu a little unbearable, and her face turned red. It seems that she needs to practice her shamelessness.
"Humph, I'll ignore you. I'm going to pack my things. You should also go back and get ready. Don't you have to go to the palace to ask for leave?"
Jia Cong said: "Well, as long as you are not sad, I will be relieved. Then I will go back first. How about you kiss me?"
Lin Daiyu raised her head and blinked, as if to say, do you want to eat shit?
Jia Cong never thought that she could kiss him, he just teased her. After all, girls are thin-skinned.
She was about to turn around and leave, but when she saw Lin Daiyu looked around and found that no one was there, she suddenly raised her head, kissed Jia Cong on the face, and then ran into the house with a "rubbing".
Jia Cong was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing.
This was the first time Lin Daiyu kissed herself, and the meaning was self-evident.
Thinking of this, my mood suddenly improved. I couldn't help laughing and said, "Run slower, don't fall."
······
After returning to Ningguo Mansion, he ordered Tiezhu to lead the special force and rush to Yangzhou first.
Then, everyone was called together.
This trip won't be short, it will probably take several months, and things at home also need to be arranged.
Youshi said: "Brother Cong, why did you call us here?"
Jia Cong said: "Sister Lin's father is seriously ill. I want to accompany her to Yangzhou. It will probably take several months to come back. During the time when I am not at home, you take good care of the house."
Ping'er said: "Master Guo, don't worry. Everything will be fine at home. How many people will you take with you this time?"
Jia Cong said: "Qingwen, Chunxiaqiudong, naturally want to go with me, Yuanyang, Xiren, Xiangling, follow me, it will be convenient to take care of Miss Lin on the way. When I come back, I will take Xiangling back to my hometown to see. Let’s see if we can find her family.”
Hearing this, Xiangling looked uneasy.
I was feeling a little nervous, a little surprised and a little scared.
At this time, Xiangling's impression of her family, father and mother was already very vague.
After being in the hands of traffickers for many years, I was raised by traffickers. I was either beaten or scolded, and I developed a timid and fearful temperament.
After following Jia Cong, life got better. Like a young lady, all the hardships came to an end.
Xiangling knew in her heart that no matter who she followed, it would be better to follow Jia Cong. No one would be as kind to her as Jia Cong. She didn't want to leave. She wanted to follow Jia Cong all her life.
"Master Guo, I don't want to leave you. I want to serve you for the rest of my life. Don't drive me away, okay?"
Yuanyang smiled and said: "Silly Xiangling, no one will drive you away. The Duke of the State dotes on you very much. He lets you study and learn poetry. How can he drive you away? Don't worry."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't drive you away. As Yuanyang said, I like you very much. If I can find your parents, it will be a regret for you, wouldn't it? A beautiful thing.”
Xiang Ling said worriedly: "What if I find them and they don't let me follow me?"
This Xiangling is really cute and cute. She really deserves to be a Han Xiangling.
"Xiang Ling, as long as you are unwilling to leave me, no one can take you away from me, so don't worry about it."
"Oh, I understand, Mr. Guo."
Jia Cong continued: "Nian Ci is also following. Then I will help diagnose Uncle Lin to see if he can be treated. In addition, bring the half of the thousand-year-old ginseng with you. Use it if you can, and bring it with you if you don't." return."
Han Nianci nodded and said, "I know Mr. Guo, I will bring the necessary medical equipment."
Jia Cong looked at Da Yu'er and said: "Da Yu'er, please follow me. This time I really go to the south. Go and see the small bridges and flowing water in the south, the tender willows and soft flowers, and the desert breeze and high clouds in the north. Dan, which one is better?"
Da Yu'er said with a face of joy: "Really, that's great. Thank you, Mr. Guo."
Da Yu'er is really happy. He has already seen this divine capital. Jiangnan, which is said to have beautiful mountains and clear waters, and is beautiful and prosperous, doesn't know what it looks like?
Unexpectedly, I would have the opportunity to go to Jiangnan so soon, and the eyes he looked at Jia Cong were even gentler.
Jia Cong continued: "The rest of you, please stay at home and look after the house. This time I mainly went to the Lin family to help Uncle Lin treat his illness. There are not many opportunities to play. I will take you with me when I go out to play next time." Together.
This trip to Yangzhou will take at least a few months. Bring a few winter clothes. If you are missing anything else, buy it there now. Ping'er will prepare a hundred thousand taels of silver notes and give it to Yuanyang.
Today we have packed our luggage and prepared the carriage. We will set off to Yangzhou early tomorrow morning. "
······
In the imperial palace, in the royal study.
"What? You want to take leave?"
Emperor Longqing looked at Jia Cong below and was speechless. He had just taken office less than two months ago and was about to ask for leave. This was too childish.
"Why are you asking for leave if you don't do your job well? Why do you have so many things to do at such a young age?"
Jia Cong said: "Your Majesty, Lin Ruhai, the salt inspector of Yangzhou, is my uncle. Now he is seriously ill. He wrote to ask cousin Lin to go back. I guess he wants to see her for the last time. I want to accompany cousin Lin back to see if I can Save people."
Emperor Longqing knew that Lin Ruhai was seriously ill.
It has been a long time, and two royal doctors were sent to help with the treatment, but the condition did not improve.
In this regard, Emperor Longqing was powerless.
Lin Ruhai was in charge of Yangzhou's salt industry and could be said to be Emperor Longqing's pocketbook. Emperor Longqing still valued him very much.
However, God is jealous of talented people, and serious illnesses are difficult to treat. How can we do nothing?
Long Qing sighed and said: "I have known about Imperial Ambassador Lin's condition for a long time, and sent two imperial doctors to help treat him, but his condition has not improved. You don't know medical skills, so what's the use of going there?"
Jia Cong was not surprised that Emperor Longqing knew about Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai's position was very important. How could Emperor Longqing not send someone to watch over it?
Jia Cong said: "Your Majesty, Uncle Lin has agreed to the marriage between me and Cousin Lin. He is considered my old father-in-law. He has never seen me and wants to see me. Besides, I can find someone to help with treatment when I go.
Uncle Lin is the only daughter of Cousin Lin. If something happens, there will be no one to help. At this critical moment, I, the son-in-law, must step in, otherwise I will not feel at ease.
The Five Cities Military and Horse Division, after this period of rectification, has been on the right track. It only needs to be implemented step by step. Even if I am not here, nothing will happen. Your Majesty, you can rest assured. "
Emperor Longqing was quite reassured about Jia Cong's abilities.
The current Shenjing City has been sorted out by Jia Cong. It can be said that the old appearance has been replaced with a new look, a new look, more prosperous and tidy.
To be honest, Emperor Longqing didn't want to allow him to lie, and wanted him to do his job well.
However, when I heard that I had made a marriage arrangement with Lin Ruhai's daughter, I thought about it and agreed. If Lin Ruhai died and there was only one little girl left, I would really be at a loss what to do.
This is the time when you need help.
"For Lin Aiqing's sake, I will grant your leave. Don't cause any trouble for me when you arrive in Jiangnan."
When Jia Cong heard this, he was overjoyed and said respectfully: "Thank you for your permission, Your Majesty. Don't worry, Your Majesty. I mainly go to the Lin family this time and I won't cause trouble. Besides, I'm not the kind of person who likes to cause trouble. As long as I No one messes with me, and I never mess with anyone else.”
Emperor Longqing waved his hand and said: "Go."
"My lord, please retire."
······
After leaving the palace, I thought about going out this time and didn't know when I would be able to come back.
After thinking about it, I decided to go to Baochai to say goodbye and talk by the way.
I went back to get a jewelry box and went to Lixiangyuan.
Hearing that Jia Cong was coming, Xue Baochai came out to welcome him.
"Brother Cong, aren't you going to Yangzhou tomorrow? If you don't go back and prepare, why are you running around?"
Jia Cong said: "I am going to Yangzhou this time. I don't know when I will come back. It will probably take a long time to see Sister Bao again. I came here specifically to see Sister Bao and say goodbye to Sister Bao.
Hey, isn't Brother Xue at home? Isn't aunt at home too? Why didn't you see them? "
Xue Baochai smiled and said: "My brother went to the south with the caravan, and my mother went to my aunt."
Jia Cong took out the jewelry box and handed it to Xue Baochai.
"Sister Bao, I give this to you, see if you like it."
Xue Baochai took it and looked at it and said, "What's in it? It looks quite exquisite."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Don't you know if you open it and take a look?"
Xue Baochai opened the lid of the box, and his eyes lit up. This is the Dongzhu bracelet worn by Lin Yatou, and a Dongzhu necklace. Hey, what kind of mirror is this? It is so clear? Could it be...
"Brother Cong, is this the glass mirror you are talking about? This is really much clearer than a bronze mirror."
Jia Cong said: "Well, Sister Bao guessed it right. This is the kind of glass mirror I mentioned. Do you like it?"
Xue Baochai nodded and said: "Sister likes it very much. Thank you brother Cong. Why did you give me jewelry? I don't usually wear it."
Jia Cong said: "Just don't wear anything else. This Dongzhu jewelry is very suitable for Sister Bao."
Then he picked up the Dongzhu bracelet, took Xue Baochai's hand over, and put it on her wrist.
Xue Baochai's face turned slightly red, but she did not refuse. She had already accepted her fate since she was kissed by him last time.
Jia Cong picked up the Dongzhu necklace again, went around Xue Baochai's back, and helped her put it on her neck.
Through the mirror, he saw Xue Baochai's blushing face and shy look, which was reflected by the necklace around her neck, making her even more cute and charming. Jia Cong suddenly thought of a word, beauty is like jade.
"Sister Bao, you are so beautiful."
