Seeing Jia Cong relax, Lin Daiyu also breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew that Jia Cong taught her martial arts to strengthen her body and did not want her to show up in public and fight with others.
After all, she is a lady, and fighting with others in public is really out of character.
Therefore, although she begged Jia Cong, she didn't have high hopes.
I didn't expect Brother Cong to actually agree. It was a bit of an unexpected surprise.
But from the looks of it, it seems a bit perfunctory. I have to learn sword skills first and then adapt to the armor. Isn't this a delaying tactic with me?
"Brother Cong, what you said is true. You are not deceiving your sister, are you?"
Jia Cong said: "Of course it is true. When did I lie to you? When I measure your body size, I will customize the armor for you. By the way, I will also customize a set for Erya. You also need to use the sword skills. Become proficient.
To go to the battlefield, you must first have the ability to save your life. Otherwise, what are you going to do? To die? You've also seen Erya and I's training, with that kind of intensity, we've been training for more than three years, and that's not all you've seen.
Although you have worked hard during this period and have made rapid progress. When you competed with Erya, you were already on par. But in a life-and-death fight, you can't resist Erya's five moves and you can't meet my requirements. I won't take you there.
You are my daughter-in-law. I have not married yet, and I am just taking her to bed. If there is an accident, why should I cry to death? I can't bear to leave such a delicate little lady. "
After listening to Jia Cong's words, Lin Daiyu was somewhat disappointed.
This is definitely Brother Cong's tactic to delay the war, just to fool himself.
After listening to the next words, I felt happy in my heart. Although the words were a bit unserious and made me feel a little embarrassed, it also showed that Brother Cong really cared about me and really couldn't let him go.
"Bah, you know how to coax me. When I have mastered my sword skills, if you continue to push me, humph, I am not someone to be trifled with. You will be left with nothing to eat by then."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "It's okay. You don't have to carry me around. My brother can just hold you and walk."
After saying this, he bent down, picked up Lin Daiyu, and walked into the house.
"Oh, what are you doing? Let me go, let people see how bad it is."
"You have just finished exercising. It is not advisable to stay outside for too long. Let's go inside to talk. The temperature is still a bit cold now."
"Then let me down. It's not like I can't leave on my own."
Although Lin Daiyu said this, she did not struggle. Instead, she put her arms around Jia Cong's neck and leaned on his shoulder.
Although the two people had a good relationship and were very close, they only held hands, sat side by side, and hugged each other like this. This was the first time.
Lin Daiyu's heart was pounding. She was a little shy and nervous. She felt Jia Cong's warm chest and a trace of nostalgia.
Zijuan saw the two people's appearance and quickly came up and asked: "What's going on? Lord, you can't bully our girl."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "You girl, who saw me bullying Sister Lin? I can't even hug my wife? You are too lenient. Be careful and I will deal with you later."
Hearing this, Lin Daiyu really couldn't stay any longer and said with a "poof": "You started talking nonsense again. It's already in the house. Let me down quickly. How long do you want to hold me?" "
Jia Cong said: "I want to hold you for the rest of my life, and I will hold you until the end of time."
Lin Daiyu made a "puff" sound and laughed.
"Brother Cong, if we keep holding each other like this without eating, drinking, or doing anything, we will starve to death in a few days, let alone forever, let alone forever."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Isn't there also Zijuan? From now on, Zijuan will be responsible for feeding and watering the two of us. We can also do something, such as kissing or something."
"Bah, shameless, put me down quickly, or I will beat you?"
Zijuan chuckled when she heard this.
"My lord, it's okay for me to feed you food and water. You two just kiss each other and that's it. But what about pooping and peeing? You can't do it in your trouser pockets, right?"
Jia Cong said: "I'll leave this to you too."
Lin Daiyu couldn't stand it anymore, so she stretched out her hand and twisted Jia Cong's ears, and scolded with a smile: "Damn you, the more you talk, the more senseless you are, and Zijuan, you little hooves, you are talking nonsense with him here, you want to feel sick Dead person?"
Erya covered her mouth and snickered, her master was so interesting.
I don’t know if I will have the chance to follow him on the battlefield again.
She had been with him since she was eight years old. In the blink of an eye, she was already fifteen years old. She felt a little uncomfortable being suddenly left by his side, but she also knew that Miss Lin was the future mistress. When they got married, He went back with him.
Although life is more comfortable with Miss Lin, I still miss the prosperous years of the past occasionally.
Jia Cong put Lin Daiyu down, and the two played around for a while, then went to greet Lin Ruhai together.
Lin Ruhai felt a little sour in her heart when she saw the two people walking in hand in hand with such an intimate look.
The precious daughter I raised by myself is so cheap to this brat.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, 'Hey, it's really hard for women to stay in college! I'd better go find my uncle in a few days and write the marriage book, so that the marriage between the two of them can be finalized. '
Jia Cong stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Father-in-law, has your health improved recently?"
Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "It's much better. There's nothing serious anymore. I feel better than ever. His Majesty sent the imperial doctor to check on me again. The imperial doctor also said that I'm fine. I don't think it will take long. Your Majesty will never let me rest again."
Jia Cong nodded. Lin Ruhai has recovered well during this period, and is almost 80% better.
Emperor Long Qing knew that Lin Ruhai was well and would definitely not leave him idle anymore, but he didn't know what errands he would arrange for him?
"Father-in-law, do you know what official position your Majesty will arrange for you?"
Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "How do I know this? It's not easy to figure out His Majesty's thoughts. Everything is up to His Majesty's arrangement. I don't insist on these, as long as I can serve the country."
Jia Cong grinned, what he said was so beautiful.
It seems that his father-in-law is really a good minister who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. This realization is really not something that ordinary people can have, at least he cannot do it.
You can be loyal to your emperor and patriotic, but you will never be foolishly loyal.
What I believe in is the famous saying of Mencius, "If a ruler treats his ministers like his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart; if a prince regards his ministers as dogs and horses, his ministers will regard him as a fellow countryman; if his ministers regard his ministers as grass and mustard, then his ministers will regard him as such." foe. '
The relationship between himself and the emperor is now in the honeymoon period, and since he is young and has little influence, the emperor is not afraid of him.
As the saying goes, being with a king is like being with a tiger. What will happen next? Even I can't predict it.
Thinking of the divination that Miaoyu's master made for him before he died, 'Danger comes from the royal family. '
This made me even more worried. I didn't know if the emperor wanted to deal with me, or if someone else in the royal family wanted to deal with me?
As the saying goes, it is easier to dodge open guns than hidden arrows, and in this important place in the capital, I can't be too unscrupulous, and I am really a little constrained.
I hope it's not the emperor who wants to deal with me, otherwise there will really be no way out by then.
If he really had a falling out with the emperor, who knew which side Lin Ruhai would turn to?
Lin Daiyu said: "Dad, if you work as an errand again, don't focus on the errand like before, give yourself some time, don't wear your body down anymore and let your daughter worry about you.
You have to learn from Brother Cong on this point. You see, this is a job. You can do whatever you want without delaying anything. You can be as comfortable as you want. That's great. "
Jia Cong nodded and said: "What Sister Lin said makes sense. Father-in-law, you should really learn from me in the future and be lazy appropriately. Otherwise, no matter how tired you are, no one will care about you. Only Sister Lin and I care." you."
Lin Ruhai also knew that the two of them had good intentions and were worried about her health, but she really couldn't do it if she wanted to be lazy.
There are few people in the whole capital who work as freely as Jia Cong.
This boy is very capable of doing things and manages the entire capital in an orderly manner.
Since he took office, the public security in the city has been getting better and better, and there are fewer and fewer people committing crimes. The capital has also become more prosperous and tidy, giving the entire Shenjing City a completely new look.
Seeing that he did his job well and was capable and could not delay anything, His Majesty turned a blind eye.
In addition, this kid confiscated too much money from the house, which all benefited Emperor Longqing, and Emperor Longqing also looked at him differently.
I don’t know what position Emperor Longqing will arrange for him?
"Brother Cong, I can't learn from you, but don't worry, I will pay more attention to rest, and I won't be like before.
The marriage between the two of you should be finalized. I will go to my uncle in a few days and prepare the marriage certificate first. I will deal with other matters after brother Cong's filial piety is over. "
Jia Cong thought for a while and decided that he should take the initiative in this matter.
Although my family didn't mind, if Lin Ruhai came forward, it would be regarded as the woman taking the initiative to propose marriage, which was really not good.
Jia Cong said: "Father-in-law, it's up to me to handle this matter. After I go back, I will ask the elder to come directly to my father-in-law to propose marriage with the matchmaker and betrothal gift. Everything will be done in accordance with the formal procedures. Sister Lin cannot be wronged. .”
Lin Ruhai thought for a while and said, "That's fine. You can settle this matter in the next few days and settle the marriage between the two of you to avoid any complications in the future."
Jia Cong said: "Don't worry, father-in-law. I will go find the master and a matchmaker when I get back, prepare a betrothal gift, and come over to propose marriage to Sister Lin. Does father-in-law have any other instructions?"
Lin Ruhai said: "I have nothing to do here. The matchmakers all know what to do. Just let them arrange everything."
Jia Cong nodded, he didn't understand much about these things.
Getting married in ancient times was too cumbersome. It focused on three letters and six etiquettes. The three letters refer to the letter of appointment, the letter of ceremony and the letter of welcome. The six etiquettes refer to the six etiquette methods, which refer to the acceptance, the name, the acceptance, the acceptance, the date and the personal greeting.
When people in ancient times got married, most of the men and women did not know each other. It was a true blind marriage.
It all depends on the matchmaker's mouth and the back-and-forth thread. Many people don't really meet until the moment they lift off the red hijab.
There are very few people like me and Sister Lin who have been together since childhood, childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts.
This can be considered a free love between myself and Sister Lin.
He glanced sideways at Lin Daiyu beside him, and saw that her face was flushed and she looked shy. Although there were no outsiders, she was still a little shy when talking about her marriage.
Jia Cong did not go back immediately, but accompanied Lin Daiyu to the study room to read for a while.
After a while, Lin Ruhai also came over, read two articles to Jia Cong, and had lunch with the father and daughter at noon. Jia Cong left in the afternoon.
······
Jia Cong came to the East Road Courtyard of Rongguo Mansion and found Jia She and Mrs. Xing.
After making his purpose of coming clear, Jia She agreed very simply.
The father and son discussed it for a while and then went their separate ways.
When Jia She came forward, he found a more respectable matchmaker and prepared the marriage certificate first.
Jia Cong went back to prepare the betrothal gift, called You and Qin Keqing, and asked them about the betrothal gift at that time. He also talked to the matchmaker about it, and he had an idea.
In this era, the betrothal gift does not need to be expensive, but it is a kind of etiquette. Generally, the betrothal gift is an even number.
They are: betrothal money, betrothal cakes, seafood, three animals, four Beijing fruits, four-color candies, tea ceremony, two-meter bucket, etc.
Each of these types of betrothal gifts has its own particularities. For example, seafood is divided into three types: four types, six types and eight types. The three animals refer to cattle, sheep and pigs. The four fruits include dried longan, dried lychees, dried walnuts and There are peanuts in the shell.
Most gifts are good wishes for the couple's future.
Of course, if you have money, prepare something more luxurious and expensive, and people will definitely like it more.
According to these customs, Jia Cong made a list of betrothal gifts and personally led people to prepare them.
The bride price is two thousand taels of gold, as well as 200 pieces of silk brocade, 200 mink skins, 20 pieces of jade jewelry, 20 pieces of gold and silver jewelry, 20 pieces of jewelry, and two handles of Ruyi jade... .
There are also various kinds of cakes, chicken, duck and fish, various candies, tea, drinks and so on.
Jia Cong prepared these gifts of the best and highest quality. This betrothal gift was luxurious and valuable enough.
The matchmaker's eyes widened when she saw the betrothal gift prepared by Jia Cong.
I couldn't help but secretly thought, this Ning Guogong is really grand and worthy of being the little god of wealth in the capital.
This Ning Guogong was a popular figure, and he was approached by no less than ten people for inquiries. Because his father had just died, it was difficult for him to come to propose marriage, so he was delayed.
Unexpectedly, Ning Guogong fell in love with a girl from the Lin family and took the initiative to propose marriage. The Lin family was really making a huge profit.
If those people who are interested in Ning Guogong know this news, they will probably beat their chests in annoyance, right?
On this day, everything was ready. Jia She, Jia Cong, and the matchmaker, together with the betrothal procession, went to the Lin Mansion to propose marriage.
