On the Qinhuai River, in a brothel called Xiaoyao Pavilion.
Zhen Yingli and Jia Lian, each holding a popular girl, drank wine and chatted.
"Brother Lian, this time Brother Cong goes to Suzhou, why don't you go with him to Suzhou to have fun?"
Jia Lian picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Zhen Yingli, drank it all, then smiled and said:
"Cong Di went to Suzhou this time just to find someone. He won't stay there for long. I don't have much to do there. I've wasted all my time on the road. I might as well stay here and enjoy myself."
Zhen Yingli smiled when he heard this. Jia Lian was still as lustful as ever. He wandered among the flowers every day and never felt tired.
"This time in Jinling, Brother Cong surprised me. This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a fierce person. With Brother Cong here, Brother Lian can walk away sideways. No one dares to provoke you again. .
How did your Jia family cultivate people like Brother Cong? They are really enviable and jealous. "
Jia Lian touched the woman next to him twice and said with a smile:
"Cong Di is a very good person. He is kind to his family and generous. He is also very interesting to me as his brother. He didn't have time to accompany me in Yangzhou, so he directly gave me 10,000 taels of silver notes and let me go out on my own. Have fun.
I didn't spend much time with him in the past. He has moved to Zhuangzi since he was nine years old, where he practiced martial arts and trained guards. He only went home during festivals to pay tribute to the elders. .
I went to the border town of Liaodong when I was twelve years old. When I left, my family didn't know about it. It wasn't until the battle report came from the front line that my family got the news. I stayed in Liaodong for three years until Uncle Jia Jing died this year. My brother just came back from Liaodong.
He is a person who generally does not take the initiative to provoke others, but if anyone provokes him, it will definitely not end well. He strikes cleanly and never shows mercy. I also went out with him, and then I saw how ruthless he was.
Just like this time in Jinling, Congdi didn't plan to take action. He thought he would bring Jiajuan here to play for a few days and then go back. Who knew that the Huazi Gang was blind and wanted to kidnap my two girls? That completely pissed him off. "
Zhen Yingli saw how ruthless Jia Cong was, and from being indifferent to him before, she now took him seriously.
A child of a powerful person is so hard-working and willing to endure hardships and stand hard work. No wonder he has achieved such success.
"Although the commotion is a bit loud, the effect is quite good. When people talk about it, they all say that Brother Cong belongs to Master Qingtian."
Jia Lian said: "Brother Cong is good at everything, but he doesn't like to go out and fool around. This time he came to Jinling as an exception. I guess he came here just to give Brother Zhen face, so he couldn't refuse easily. But he didn't listen in the capital." Said he had been to a brothel."
Zhen Yingli said: "Looking at the way brother Cong behaves, he is no stranger to these sects. He calmed down his brother."
Jia Lian chuckled and said, "Let's not talk about him anymore. Let's drink."
The two of them drank and chatted. After they were full of wine and food, they each went to rest with the beautiful women in their arms.
"Ah" a frightened scream sounded in the silent dawn, resounding through the Qinhuai River, waking up everyone in Xiaoyao Pavilion.
"What's going on? Are you still letting people sleep?"
"Who is this? He's yelling, trying to scare people to death?"
"Oh no, someone is dead. Master Zhen is dead. This time we are in big trouble."
"What? Master Zhen is dead? How is this possible? What's going on?"
Jia Lian was startled when he heard the noise outside. Is Zhen Yingli dead?
How can this be? He quickly got up and ran out to inquire about it.
Jia Lian came to the next room and saw that there were already many people inside. When he came closer, he saw Zhen Yingli lying on the bed, already dead.
He pulled the old bustard next to him and asked, "What on earth is going on? How could something happen to Brother Zhen?"
The old madam said with a bitter face: "Second Master Jia, I don't know either. I came here just after hearing the shouting. This has already happened since I came here. I have already sent someone to notify Uncle Zhen."
"Xiao Taohong, aren't you with Brother Zhen? What on earth is going on?"
Xiao Taohong said: "Master Jia, we were fine when we were sleeping. When I got up to relieve myself, I thought about asking Master Zhen to come with me. I pushed him a little and saw that he didn't respond. I took a light and shined a light on him. This is what he looks like now. , then I was so scared that I screamed."
Jia Lian was also confused. How could this happen? How could this happen?
After some time, Zhen Yingjia and her people hurried over.
Seeing Zhen Yingli lying there, Zhen Yingjia became completely angry.
"Who did this? Madam, if you don't give me an explanation, I will smash your Xiaoyao Pavilion today, and you won't do it again in the future."
The old bustard said: "Uncle Zhen, we don't know the reason either. Let's check the cause of death first."
Zhen Yingjia saw Jia Lian there and asked, "Brother Lian, are you here too? Do you know what's going on?"
Jia Lian smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Zhen, Brother Zhen and I went out to play together at night. After we had eaten and drank, we rested separately. I didn't wake up until I heard the shouting. It was already like this when we came here. I don't know what happened. what reason."
The people brought by Zhen Yingjia came forward to check the body, checked the whole body, and found a bite mark.
"Uncle, the second master was poisoned to death. There are bite marks on his body. It should be from a poisonous snake."
When Zhen Yingjia heard this, she frowned.
"You mean that my second brother was bitten to death by a poisonous snake? Are you sure?"
"Uncle, I can't be wrong, but I'm also wondering, why are there venomous snakes here?"
Zhen Yingjia called in Wu Zuo from the government and checked the following. It was indeed bitten to death by a poisonous snake.
But after searching for a long time, I couldn't find any sign of the poisonous snake.
Zhen Yingjia was so angry that he led people to smash Xiaoyao Pavilion and said harsh words.
"If you don't give me an explanation, don't even think about living in Aurous Hill."
The government searched for several days, but found nothing, no clues, and no suspicious persons. In the end, they had no choice but to let it go.
Although Zhen Yingjia did not believe that it was such a coincidence that a venomous snake bit her brother, he checked again and again and found nothing suspicious.
Only traces of venomous snakes were found, and everyone unanimously concluded that he was bitten by a venomous snake and died from the poison.
Zhen Yingjia had no choice but to hold her nose and admit it.
Maybe it was just such a coincidence that he was unlucky enough to catch up with his second brother. It seemed like this was fate.
After attending Zhen Yingli's funeral, Jia Lian did not dare to stay in Jinling for a long time, so he returned to Yangzhou by boat.
······
Jia Cong and Lin Daiyu held hands, bickering and walking slowly and leisurely.
So we walked all the way back to the city and back to our residence.
After today's trip, the relationship between the two has taken a further step and they are getting along more harmoniously, which is a big gain for Jia Cong.
"Brother, Sister Lin, you are back."
Xichun saw the two coming back and greeted them with a smile.
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Well, I'm back. How are you? Are you still used to being here?"
Xichun said: "It's pretty good. There's nothing I'm not used to. It's much safer than being on a boat."
Jia Cong smiled. Although he had specially built a big boat, and the water in the canal was considered stable, it still had some shaking when driving, and it was indeed not as stable as the ground.
"You guys have a good rest first. Xiangling and I will go find his mother tomorrow. We will take you out for a walk the day after tomorrow and have fun everywhere."
Xichun nodded and said, "I understand, brother."
After dinner, we talked together and then went back to rest.
Jia Cong returned to his room and saw Xiang Ling alone sitting in front of the bed waiting for him. Yuanyang, Xiren and Qingwen were not there.
I was a little puzzled. These three girls had been pestering me every day recently, as if they had already discussed it, for fear that I would bring women back from outside again.
What's going on today? No one is here. Could it be that all the aunts are here?
Xiangling stood up, came to Jia Cong, helped him take off his coat and put it on the hanger.
"Master, let me serve you tonight."
Jia Cong nodded. Xiang Ling often slept with him, but this girl was shy and never ate her.
"Well, Xiangling, you haven't been with me for a long time. Why are Qingwen and the other three not here? Could it be that you have a bad stomach?"
Xiangling helped Jia Cong get on the bed, took off her clothes, and slipped into bed.
He chuckled and said, "Master, they haven't eaten bad. They are all fine. I want to stay with you tonight and talk to you. They are all resting outside."
When Jia Cong heard this, he felt a little clear in his heart.
They were emptying Xiangling. The four of them, even Xiangling had not been eaten by them, seemed to have some ideas.
Jia Cong doesn't want to eat Xiangling now, and he's not too old anyway.
Besides, Yuanyang, Qingwen, and Xiren have only been together for two months. They are getting a taste of it for the first time. They are at a time when honey is mixed with oil, and they are obsessed with themselves.
And Ruyan, who has just received it less than a month ago, is even more eager to look forward to it.
He could only secretly find time to go have a tryst with her.
Ever since they found out that they were going to the Qinhuai River with Jia Lian, Yuanyang, Xiren, and Qingwen went into battle together and tried their best to keep him in the house.
During this period of time, Jia Cong's little life was filled with happiness and joy.
It's a rare day to have free time, so it's good to chat with Xiang Ling and understand her. Since arriving in Suzhou, this girl has looked very worried.
The situation at her grandfather Feng Su's home and her mother's condition have been told to her in detail.
It seems that Xiangling is still a little uneasy in her heart, and she doesn't know what she is worried about?
Turning sideways, he hugged Xiangling into his arms and said softly: "Xiangling, are you ready? I will take you to see your mother tomorrow so that your mother and daughter can meet and reunite as a family."
Xiangling leaned into Jia Cong's arms and rubbed her little face against Jia Cong's.
"Master, I don't know why. Now that I've arrived in Suzhou, I feel even more unsure. I'm a little hopeful, but also a little scared. I can't settle down. I feel much more settled when I'm with you."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Perhaps this is what the literati call home shyness. After all, you were too young when you were taken away. It has been more than ten years now, and you probably don't have much impression of your family.
You are suddenly going to see them, and you don't know how to deal with it, which is understandable. Don't think too much, just follow your heart and let nature take its course. "
Xiangling nodded and said: "Well, I listen to you. I'm not afraid of anything else. I'm just afraid that after I recognize them, they won't let me follow you. I don't want to leave you. He is the best to me in the world." I want to follow you all my life.
Master, please have me, otherwise I won’t worry. "
Facing Xiang Ling's confession, Jia Cong was very happy.
Finally, the pain for this girl was not in vain. Even now, she was still thinking about herself.
When she first started following him, this girl had always been cautious, fearing that she might make herself unhappy and get beaten up like she did in the hands of a trafficker.
Later, when I saw that I was sincerely good to her, I slowly let go of my guard and integrated into this big family.
After years of experience in the hands of human traffickers, Xiangling cherishes her current life even more.
With Jia Cong's support, he began to recognize characters, learn poetry, and arm his brain.
He is also well-behaved and sensible, making people feel loved and loved.
She looks even more similar to Qin Keqing. In terms of appearance, she is no worse than Qingwen.
Qin Keqing is the most beautiful woman in the Red Mansion. She has the beauty of both treasure and wear. She is slightly better than Baochai and Daiyu. She is charming, flirtatious and charming. She is a charming little fairy.
It's not that Baochai and Daiyu are not as good as Qin Keqing. When they first entered Jia's house, they were young and had not yet grown up. Compared with Qin Keqing, who was already a mature beauty, they were naturally inferior.
Now Xue Baochai is a big girl, gentle and virtuous, beautiful and fragrant, and a little fat like Concubine Yang.
Although she can't be ashamed of herself, she is no worse than Qin Keqing.
Although Lin Daiyu is still a few years younger, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her body developed earlier than the average person. She has grown into a slim and beautiful beauty, but she is still a little childish.
Xiang Ling and Qin Keqing are similar to each other, but how can they be different?
However, Xiangling is obedient and obedient, a little silly and cute, and does not have the romantic charm of Qin Keqing. She has been studying hard in the past few years, and she has a bookish air about her.
Coupled with the beauty mark between her eyebrows, it added to her beauty.
Looking at the little beauty so close to Chi Chi, cheek to cheek, it would be a lie to say that you are not moved. You can't let others take over the little cabbage that you have raised for so many years, right?
Jia Cong asked himself whether he was generous enough.
"Xiang Ling, I really like you very much, but have you really thought about it? You are not very old yet, you can still be carefree and play happily for a few years."
Xiangling said: "Master, Qingwen is not even older than me yet. I have been thinking about it for a long time. I don't want to wait any longer. If I become my woman, they can't keep me."
As soon as he finished speaking, his hands climbed up to Jia Cong's neck, and his cherry mouth kissed him directly.
Xiang Ling, who used to be shy, let go of her courage today. She must have been taught a bad lesson by those three people.
Feeling Xiang Ling's enthusiasm, how could Jia Cong remain indifferent? Let's do it...
