Seeing Lin Daiyu's narrow-minded look, Jia Cong smiled. She was really a narrow-minded person.
Jia Cong had long been used to Lin Daiyu's jokes and didn't care much at all.
With one hand in each hand, he pulled the two of them to sit down in the pavilion.
Jia Cong said: "Sister Bao, why are you so interested in catching butterflies alone today?"
Xue Baochai said: "I had nothing to do, so I planned to look for you. I saw the pair of butterflies on the road, so I chased them all the way. I didn't expect you two to be here too. It's a coincidence."
Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "It's a coincidence. We just came here and wanted to sit in the pavilion for a while. Before we came in, we saw Sister Bao chasing those two butterflies."
The three of them chatted for a while, and except for the occasional banter, the atmosphere was relatively harmonious.
Xue Baochai suddenly said: "Brother Cong, I heard from Sister Lin that you want to take her out on a trip. Is it true?"
Jia Cong said: "I do have this idea. Now that I am not on duty and have more freedom, I want to go out and travel. They say that reading thousands of books is worse than walking thousands of miles. I also want to go out and experience something."
Xue Baochai said: "Brother Cong has this idea, which is good. My sister also supports you. It's just taking Sister Lin out. This is not appropriate. After all, you are not married yet. If it spreads, wouldn't it make people say Mouth."
Lin Daiyu said nonchalantly: "What's the point? We're all engaged. What's there to talk about? Besides, no one knows us outside. The year before last, we went to Jiangnan for a walk. Isn't it okay?"
Xue Baochai said: "This is only one of them. There is another main reason. When you travel, you have to run around. Although you can go out and see things outside, it is also very hard. If it is only for a short time, it will be okay over time. , Sister Lin, you definitely can’t stand it.
】
When you went to Jiangnan the year before last, you took a boat all the way, so you didn't feel it was hard. When our family came to Beijing from Jinling, we took a car all the way. The road conditions were not good, and sitting in the car was like suffering. "
Lin Daiyu said: "Sister Bao, we didn't feel too bad when we took the car to Zhuangzi. Don't scare people. Besides, if you're tired, just take a rest. We're not in a hurry, right, Brother Cong."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Sister Bao is right. Riding in a car is also very hard. It's very bumpy. The road conditions outside are not good at all. The road to Zhuangzi was built by ourselves and is countless times smoother than the road outside. .
If I don't take you, I will choose to ride a horse, which will be faster. If you follow, riding a horse will not work. I can only let you ride in a car. Compared with riding a horse, riding a car is more comfortable. I can only walk slowly with you. "
Lin Daiyu said: "Actually, I can also ride horses with you. My riding skills are pretty good. I often ask Da Yu'er to accompany me to ride horses. Even if I'm not as good as you, it's not much different, right?"
Jia Cong smiled and said, "No, don't worry. If you ride for a while, your thighs will be worn out if you ride for a long time. You'd better take the car and walk slowly."
Lin Daiyu was shocked when Jia Cong said that her thighs could be worn out. Will there be any scars if the thighs are worn out?
It would not be beautiful if it left scars, and it would not be good if Brother Cong disliked it in the future.
Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu nodded and said, "Well, I listen to brother Cong and it's better to take the car. Sister Bao, do you want to go with us?"
Xue Baochai hesitated for a moment, glanced at Jia Cong and said, "I would like to go with you, but I'm afraid my mother won't let me go. Sister Lin, doesn't your father care about you?"
Lin Daiyu blinked and said, "I followed brother Cong out, and my father was very relieved."
Jia Cong said: "Sister Bao, if you want to go, I can go and talk to my aunt. It should be okay. I have time now. This is a good opportunity. When I resume my job in the future, I won't have time to even want to go." ”
Xue Baochai thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.
Both of them are engaged, and they are not afraid of what others will say.
She also wanted to stay with Jia Cong and experience some beautiful memories together.
"Okay then, I'll go with you, just the three of us? Those girls really want to follow, especially the third girl. She always remembered that you didn't take her with you last time."
Jia Cong glanced at Lin Daiyu and asked, "Sister Lin, what do you think? Should we take them with us?"
Lin Daiyu glanced at the two of them and said without hesitation: "Brother Cong, let's take them with us. The fourth sister will definitely follow. The remaining third and second sisters are not doing well. We didn't take them with us last time. This time If you don’t take it with you again, there will probably be conflicts.”
Jia Cong nodded and said: "Okay, let's take them with us then. With so many people, the original plan won't work. These people simply can't bear to go by land, so let's go by water.
This time I will take you to the sea. None of you have ever seen the sea, right? "
Lin Daiyu said happily: "I have never seen the sea. Brother Cong, should we go to the beach this time or take a boat to the sea?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "You have finally gone there, so naturally I will take you to the sea to let you feel the vastness of the sea. It will definitely be a worthwhile trip."
Xue Baochai said worriedly: "Brother Cong, I heard that the sea is very dangerous. Not only are there pirates, but there are also storms. Once you encounter one, it will be terrible."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Sister Bao, don't worry. The pirates will have to take a detour when they see us. Don't worry if there is a storm. We will be at the beach and go to sea in a big ship. We also have experienced captains and crew members. We won't There is danger.”
Lin Daiyu said: "Brother Cong, when are we going? I can't wait."
Jia Cong thought for a while, and since he was going to Jeju Island, he should tell the two of them about the matter, so as not to make them feel that he did not trust them.
"There's no rush. This time we are going to an island in the sea. We will live there for a while. The place to live has not been built yet. It will be almost ready in more than half a month. After more than a month, we will set off.
At that time, let you see the ebb and flow of the sea. When the tide recedes, there will be some fish, crabs, starfish, etc., and various sea creatures left on the beach. "
The two looked at Jia Cong in surprise and asked: "Go to the island, do you want to live there?"
Jia Cong said: "Well, I asked people to occupy an island on the sea. There are currently about 100,000 people on the island. I asked people to build a city on the island that can accommodate 200,000 people. I also built a city for us. A palace.
In less than a month, the palace will be decorated and all kinds of items have been prepared. When we go there, we can move in directly. If you like it, we will live there for a year and a half. "
"ah!"
The two people opened their mouths in surprise and looked at Jia Cong in disbelief.
Hearing what this meant, my man quietly developed his own power on the sea.
Hasn't he been in the capital for the past two years? How did he do it?
What does he want to do by doing this?
Xue Baochai looked at Jia Cong in front of him, and suddenly felt that he couldn't see through him.
If you leave Ning Guogong alone, do you want to give up your great future and live on an island?
Otherwise, what is the purpose of doing this? Do you want to be king on the sea?
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up. If Brother Cong really became king, then he would be the princess, or at least a concubine.
However, once this matter is known to the court, it is likely to cause disaster.
Thinking of this, Xue Baochai couldn't help but feel worried. He looked at Lin Daiyu and saw that she also looked like she didn't know. She suddenly understood that Jia Cong had been hiding it from them.
This confidentiality work is done quite well.
The expression on Lin Daiyu's face was also very wonderful.
She never imagined that the two of them would be together every day and talk about everything. Brother Cong has never revealed such a big thing to himself. He is so strict.
If I hadn't gone to that island to play this time, I would probably have kept it secret from myself, right?
This is both a city and a palace. Could it be that Brother Cong wants to move to an island to live?
Suddenly I remembered the grudge between Jia Cong and the second prince, and I suddenly understood.
This island is the escape route prepared by Brother Cong for himself. Once something happens in the capital, he will take himself and others to the island to take refuge.
I didn't expect Brother Cong to move so quickly, so I started to prepare for a retreat.
"Brother Cong, when did you start preparing, and you kept hiding it from us? Do you not believe us?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "You have never asked me about my outside affairs. I thought you were not interested, so I didn't say anything. Besides, when it comes to this kind of thing, the fewer people who know about it, the better. Once word gets out, , which is not a good thing for us.
Before I went to Liaodong, I sent some people to develop on the sea. Last year, I took over the island and let Wangcai take charge of the management there. It should be used as a retreat for our family.
After all, accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. You may be targeted by the emperor one day. I will not just hand over my head to others and let them slaughter me. If something happens, I will take you to live on the island. The island belongs to our family, and we can live a life of ease and ease. "
Xue Baochai laughed when he heard this and said: "Brother Cong, you are planning for a rainy day. This is a big deal. It really surprised my sister. Where is our island? Will those pirates and Japanese pirates threaten us?"
Jia Cong said: "If you look at it from the capital, it is in the southeast. If you look at it from Yangzhou, it is a little north of due east. It is in the south of the Koryo Kingdom. It is the closest to the Koryo Kingdom. It was snatched from them.
You don’t have to worry about safety issues. We have a powerful fleet guarding us. In the surrounding waters, our fleet is the overlord of the sea. Whether it is pirates or Japanese pirates, as long as they dare to appear, they will be wiped out. "
Lin Daiyu sighed: "I can't believe that Brother Cong started planning so early. It's no wonder that no matter what you do, you are always unfavorable. This kind of scheming is really not something ordinary people can have."
Xue Baochai said: "Sister Lin is right, I admire you even more."
Jia Cong laughed and said, "My husband is very happy to be praised by the two ladies."
The two said in unison: "Fuck you, be careful not to be overheard."
Jia Cong's face straightened and he said: "By the way, madams, you two just need to know about this matter. You must not tell anyone, not even your parents. If word gets out accidentally and someone targets us, we will We might run into trouble when we retreat."
Xue Baochai said: "Brother Cong, don't worry, my sister knows what's appropriate and no one will tell her."
Lin Daiyu said: "Brother Cong, don't worry, my sister won't tell anyone else. By the way, brother Cong, if you take those sisters to the island, won't they all know about it?"
Jia Cong thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter, let's just say that our fleet does business with the island and has a very good relationship. They rented the place to us. They shouldn't be suspicious. Even if they are, they won't think that It’s our own territory.”
Xue Baochai nodded and said, "Brother Cong is right. If he hadn't told us personally, I would never have thought that our family would have an island."
Lin Daiyu said: "Well, it's true, then just tell them that. After sitting here for so long, let's go for a walk and find a place to drink some water. I'm a little thirsty."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "If you want to drink tea, then go to Cucui'an. Miaoyu's tea ceremony is second to none. The same tea leaves taste more delicious after being brewed by her hands."
Xue Baochai said: "It's true. We also went to her place to play and tasted her tea. But she was too cold."
Jia Cong said: "Miaoyu has been living in the mountains with her master since she was three years old. She is almost isolated from the world and is not very good at dealing with people, so she has developed a cold and aloof temperament.
She learned the art of arithmetic from her master, and is also very accomplished in poetry. You two talented women can go and communicate with her when you have nothing to do. "
Xue Baochai said: "Brother Cong, how do you know so clearly? Did Miaoyu tell you?"
Jia Cong said: "Part of it was told to me by her master, and part of it was asked by me to check. Her family is from Suzhou, and she and Sister Lin can be considered fellow villagers."
Lin Daiyu said: "Well, I have known about this for a long time."
The three of them were talking and heading in the direction of Cucui'an.
After turning around the foot of the mountain, we came to Caicui Temple. It is surrounded by mountains and is very quiet. It is indeed a good place for spiritual practice.
Seeing Jia Cong and the three of them coming together, Miaoyu invited them into the ear room.
He smiled and said: "Why are you here together today? It was a chance encounter or an agreement."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "We walked around in the garden for a while and got a little thirsty. We came here to ask for a cup of tea."
Miaoyu said, "You guys sit down for a while, and I'll make tea right away."
Xue Baochai smiled and said: "We are here, but we have tired you out."
Miaoyu said: "It's just a cup of tea. I can't say I'm tired. Miss Xue is too polite."
Lin Daiyu giggled and said, "We followed Brother Cong here, so we are taking advantage of Brother Cong, right?"
Hearing what Lin Daiyu said, Miaoyu didn't speak, her face turned slightly red, and she served tea to several people.
Jia Cong laughed and said: "I would like to formally introduce you to Lin Daiyu, my wife, Xue Baochai, my wife, and Miaoyu, my Taoist companion. From now on, we are all our own people, so you're welcome."
