Hearing the voice of the visitor, Jia Cong couldn't help but smile.
The person who rushed over waved and said, "Come here quickly, I've got a place for you here."
"Bah, I don't want it."
Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes at the two of them. It would be okay if the brother and sister were close to each other. If she were like them, why wouldn't she be allowed to talk to others?
"Brother Cong, are you really okay?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Sister Lin, do you think I have something to do? For me, this is better. I can spend more time with you and have more freedom."
Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up when she heard this.
Brother Cong is no longer on duty. He is indeed freer. Wouldn't it be possible to accompany him on some travels?
Besides, he had promised himself that he would take him to see and travel around. This was really a good opportunity.
Thinking of this, he said with a smile: "Brother Cong, does the promise you made to my sister before still count? You don't want to break your promise and get fat, do you?"
Xichun tilted her head, looked at the two of them, and asked curiously: "Sister Lin, what did my brother promise you?"
Seeing this sister-in-law blatantly hugging her man, but I was afraid of being laughed at and didn't dare to be too close to my brother Cong in public, I couldn't help but feel sour in my heart.
He wrinkled his beautiful nose and said in a sour tone, "Humph, want to know? I won't tell you."
Xichun shook Jia Cong's arm and said coquettishly: "Brother, look at Sister Lin, she bullies me, you have to make the decision for me."
Jia Cong looked at the two of them and shook his head helplessly.
One is his little daughter-in-law, and the other is his sister. Neither of them can be offended.
No matter which one you turn to, the other one will definitely be unhappy, and you will be the unlucky one, and you can only find ways to make peace with it.
Jia Cong chuckled and said, "Sister Lin is now a master. She wants my brother to take her out to travel around the world and become a sword-wielding female knight."
Lin Daiyu was even happier when she heard Jia Cong say that she was a master.
He raised his eyebrows at Xichun and said, "How about it, sister is awesome, right?"
Xichun said "Ah" and said, "Brother, do you want to take Sister Lin out to play? I'm going too, so don't leave me behind."
Jia Cong said: "I haven't decided yet. Even if I go, it will take some time and I need to be well prepared. This time is different from last time. Going by land will be very hard. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it. .”
Xichun said: "Sister Lin can do it, so can I."
Jia Cong said: "Your sister Lin has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. Her physical fitness is very good. She can ride horses and fights without any problem, and she can endure hardships. You can't compare to her in these things. If you really go, you might be tired and cry."
Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "That's right, fourth sister, you should stay at home and enjoy yourself. When we come back, we will bring you gifts and we will not forget you."
Xichun said unconvinced: "Brother, I have also practiced martial arts. Although I am not as good as Sister Lin, there is no problem in following you. I have decided that I will go with you."
Jia Cong said nothing and slowly began to think about it.
I originally thought about going to Zhongnan Mountain, but now I think about it, there is a famine in Shaanxi and there is chaos everywhere, so the place must not be peaceful.
It doesn't matter if you go by yourself, but it definitely won't work if you take these little girls with you.
If it doesn’t work, just change your itinerary.
Take them to see the sea and play on Jeju Island for a while. These girls are already old and they may not have the chance to go out again in the future.
Thinking of this, Jia Cong said, "Okay, I'll just take you with me when the time comes."
Xichun chuckled and said, "Brother is the best."
Lin Daiyu curled her lips and said, "Yeah, you're a flatterer."
"Slightly!"
Xichun stuck out his tongue and made a face at Lin Daiyu.
Jia Cong smiled and shook his head. This little girl was getting more and more naughty.
Lin Daiyu said: "Brother Cong, when will we set off? And where are we going this time?"
Jia Cong said: "There's no rush. It won't be too late in a while. We haven't decided where to go yet. Let's take some time to discuss it."
The three of them were talking and strolling around, and arrived at Hengwu Courtyard unknowingly.
Outside the courtyard are two rows of weeping willows with peach blossoms between them. There is a folding red railing boardwalk nearby. At the entrance of the courtyard is a green dike across the Di River, and a cloud-step stone staircase leads to Qinfang River. The entire courtyard is a cool tiled house with terrazzo brick walls and clear tiles and flowers.
There are not a single tree here, only exotic flowers and plants everywhere.
Seeing the three people approaching quickly, Xue Baochai quickly welcomed them in.
He said with a smile: "Brother Cong, Sister Lin, and Fourth Sister, how come you three got together? Please come in quickly."
Lin Daiyu said with a half-smile: "Sister Bao, do you think that my fourth sister and I have followed you here and disturbed the intimacy between you two? How about we go back first?"
Xue Baochai smiled generously, reached out and pinched Lin Daiyu's face.
"You Lin girl, your mouth is like a knife. Why, every time Brother Cong goes to your place, do you have to make out with you? You guys have to be more restrained and don't be too indulgent."
Lin Daiyu slapped Xue Baochai's hand away, laughed and scolded: "Bah, what are you talking about me for? We don't have it."
Xichun looked at Lin Daiyu, then at Xue Baochai, covered her mouth and laughed.
Jia Cong pretended not to hear and pulled Xichun into the house.
These two people are fighting each other, and they can't participate in it, so they should stay far away.
Ying'er brought tea and placed it in front of Jia Cong.
"Uncle, please drink tea."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Well, thank you for your hard work. You can go tell the kitchen later that I will have lunch here."
"I understand, uncle."
Ying'er agreed and went out with a smile.
Xichun said: "Brother, if you don't go and see Sister Lin and Sister Bao, aren't you afraid that they will fight?"
Jia Cong said: "Don't worry, I can't fight. I'll be in soon."
As soon as the words fell, the two people walked in hand in hand.
Lin Daiyu glanced at the two of them and said doubtfully: "You two, brother and sister, did you say bad things about us again?"
Xichun quickly shook her head and said, "No, Sister Lin, you heard wrong. My brother said we would have dinner here at noon, so he asked Ying'er to go to the kitchen and ask them to prepare more meals."
The few people had just been talking for a while when Tanchun and Yingchun also came over.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "The people are quite neat today, they are all gathered together."
Yingchun said: "I saw you guys coming from all the way, so my third sister and I followed."
Tanchun said: "Third brother, don't be a bad guy from now on. Come in and play with us more often."
Jia Cong said: "Well, if nothing happens, I will come in often to play with you."
Xue Baochai said: "Brother Cong, have you thought about what you want to do next?"
Jia Cong shook his head and said, "No rush, I'll rest for a while first."
After hearing what Jia Cong said, Xue Baochai nodded and stopped asking.
They had lunch together and strolled in the garden for a while in the afternoon, before Jia Cong returned to Ningguo Mansion.
In the next few days, Jia Cong went to the Grand View Garden every day to play with the sisters.
Practice martial arts with Lin Daiyu, play the piano and tune with Xue Baochai, drink tea and chat with Miaoyu, talk a few games with Yingchun, practice calligraphy with Tanchun, paint with Xichun, and sometimes tell Xichun a few words short story.
When the mood strikes, I take people to Tianxiang Tower to listen to a play, and my life is quite leisurely.
Since having sex with Dai Quan's wife that day, Jia Cong has never been there again.
Although Dai Quan has already said that this woman will belong to Jia Cong from now on, and he can go whenever he wants.
But Jia Cong still felt a little embarrassed. After all, he was going to someone else's house and sleeping with someone else's wife, which was a bit embarrassing.
When Jia Cong didn't go, Dai Quan lost his temper.
He is still anxious to have a son. If he continues to delay like this, how long will it take?
Send a young eunuch to find Jia Cong and ask him to go to the house and work quickly.
Since someone came to invite her again, Jia Cong got off the donkey along the slope and went to Dai Quan's house. He competed with the beautiful woman for three hundred rounds and made her submissive.
After that, Jia Cong came over from time to time to meet the beauty and went to Wushan together.
During this period, Yan Hong and Xiao Hong were brought into the room one after another, which completely reassured the two of them.
Jia Cong seems to be living in the land of girls, truly trapped in the land of gentleness.
No matter it is day or night, I am always surrounded by beautiful women, and my little life is leisurely.
Jia She had already arranged for Sun Shaozu to go to Liaodong and gave him ten thousand taels of silver. Sun Shaozu was quite satisfied with this. At least he went to Liaodong and became a general with real power.
If he really achieved military merit, he might be awarded a title.
He is related to the Jia family. When he went to Liaodong, he was looked after by Prince Teng, so it would definitely be good.
Thinking of this, Sun Shaozu was extremely heroic and prepared to go to Liaodong for a big fight.
If he had known this, he would have gone to the Jia family first, and he would not have been kicked for no reason. That kick was so cruel that he almost kicked himself to death.
Now that I think about the situation that day, I still can't help but feel frightened.
Sun Shaozu packed his bags, took the transfer order document from the Ministry of War, and prepared to go to Liaodong.
Before leaving, he came to see Jia Cong with a heavy gift.
Jia Cong made an exception and met with him, comforted him and told him that he would send a letter to Wang Ziteng and ask Wang Ziteng to take care of him.
After hearing this, Sun Shaozu thanked him for his kindness and happily embarked on the road to Liaodong.
After Sun Shaozu left, Jia Cong called a soldier and asked him to go to Liaodong to meet Wang Ziteng.
Tell Wang Ziteng to let Sun Shaozu be the vanguard and send him to the forefront.
If Sun Shaozu had known that Jia Cong wanted to borrow a barbarian's knife to kill him, he probably wouldn't even have killed him, let alone spent ten thousand taels of silver.
Jia Cong asked Wangcai to come back and give a detailed report on the situation on Jeju Island.
Jeju Island is now developing steadily. The city outline has been built, offices have been built, and the palace built for Jia Cong has also come to an end, leaving only the decoration project.
After Jia Cong asked Wangcai to go back, he decorated the palace first.
I will go to Jeju Island in a few days and hope to live in the palace by then.
When he heard that Jia Cong was going to Jeju Island, Wangcai patted his chest and said, "Master, don't worry. I will definitely decorate your palace as quickly as possible. When you go to the island, you can live there directly." Got in."
Jia Cong nodded and said: "When you leave, take another two million taels of silver to the island and ask someone to buy a batch of high-end daily necessities and put them in the palace's warehouse. I will also get some for food. Secondly, bring a lot of girls there.
In addition, select a group of maids with clean backgrounds, find someone to briefly train them, and let them be responsible for the cleaning and daily maintenance of the palace. "
Wangcai said: "I know, I will definitely do a good job. In another month, the palace will be completed. You can decide when you want to go. You can tell me in advance when the time comes. I will send you a message." The boat is coming to pick you up.”
After so many years of training, Wangcai has outstanding abilities.
Although he didn't read much, his work ability was outstanding. Whether it was the caravan, the fleet, or the management of Jeju Island, everything was in order.
Jia Cong thought for a while and asked: "Wangcai, what is the situation of the army on the island now?"
Wangcai said: "Sir, there are two thousand marines and two thousand Mongolian cavalry on the island. Commander Zhang is responsible for their management. There is no expansion for the time being. The Northern Fleet has increased a lot, and now it has more than six thousand people.
In addition, the Southern Fleet wiped out five or six groups of pirates, recruited many people, and restored the number to 5,000. Our fleet is basically invincible at sea. "
Jia Cong said: "The defense force on the island is enough for the time being. There is a fleet guarding the island. The island is very safe. Let's focus on training for the time being.
The expansion of the fleet should also be cautious. Tell Water Monkey and the others not to expand blindly and recruit too many pirates. If one of them is not managed well, trouble will occur. This matter must be cautious. "
Wangcai said: "I know, Master, I will pass on your words."
After sending Wangcai away, Tiezhu sent another piece of bad news.
In Shaanxi, a small-scale civil uprising took place.
"Sir, the people we sent sent back the news that there was a civil uprising in Shaanxi, but it was not very large. The local government did not report it to the court, but concealed the matter."
Jia Cong sneered and said: "These officials have always deceived their superiors and deceived their subordinates. This kind of behavior is normal. Unless they can no longer suppress it and there is no other way, they will report it to the court and let our people pay close attention." , don’t get involved with other things.”
Tie Zhu cupped his hands and said, "Yes, sir, I will go down and give you the instructions right now."
At this time, Qingwen came in and said, "Master, someone is coming from the palace and wants to see you."
Jia Cong was stunned when he heard this. Recently, he often went to Dai Quan's house and worked a lot. Why did he come to see him again? Do you want to exhaust yourself to death?
Thinking of this, I was speechless for a while, raised my head and said: "Let people come in."
After a while, a young eunuch came in. Jia Cong saw that it was not Dai Quan's person, and he was a little confused. It was not Dai Quan who was looking for him, nor was His Majesty looking for him. Who could it be?
"The young one has met Mr. Ning Guo."
Jia Cong said: "You are so polite, father-in-law. I wonder, what does this father-in-law want from me?"
The little eunuch looked at the people in the room and said nothing.
When Jia Cong saw this, he waved his hand and asked everyone else to go out. He had some guesses in his heart.
"Father-in-law, can you speak now?"
The young eunuch smiled and said: "Ning Guo Gong, the young one belongs to the queen. The empress has asked me to take Ning Guo Gong to the palace to see her."
