But Jia Cong hurriedly told Feng Ziying that someone suspected of being a prince was hooking up with him. Feng Ziying sent him away and rushed to Qin Sangu's place in the west of the city. After reading at midnight, he turned up the river embankment and saw sunspots running over. Qin Sangu
There was also a waiter riding a horse behind him. When he saw him, he hurriedly took the horse.
Feng Ziying hurriedly asked: "Is there any trouble?"
Qin Sangu smiled bitterly and said: "Huo Xuan is here again, I'll hide him first."
Feng Ziying immediately clapped her hands and laughed: "Please wait for two days, and he will leave soon."
Qin Sangu complained: "Don't look at my idleness! What a darling. I can't help but cut off the roots. Don't let him make trouble twice a year." She then asked Feng Ziying what was going on here.
Feng Ziying had already turned her horse's head and whispered: "Find a place to talk."
The two of them went to the small yard of the waiter under Sangu Qin. Feng Ziying told what Jia Cong had just said. Finally, he asked: "In your opinion, what kind of person is this Prince of Nan'an?"
Qin Sangu frowned and said: "Although Huo Sheng is young, he has been extremely intelligent and has excellent eyesight since he was a child. I worked hard in the early years but I didn't kill him." She shook her head and said, "The one from above.
What you mean may not come true.”
Feng Ziying was stunned: "What does the last sentence mean?"
Qin Sangu said calmly: "The superiors have taken in women in Huo Xuan's backyard. If Huo Sheng dies, his mother will not survive. Nan'an can take this one."
Feng Ziying thought for a moment and said, "What if the woman you accept above doesn't give birth to a son?"
Qin Sangu sneered: "There is more than one, whoever gives birth to a son is the one who gets it. Those women, when they heard that the imperial court made the decision, and got a son who could be the heir, who wouldn't be overjoyed? I was the only one who was looking for me back then, but now there are four.
Five. Is the boss crazy? What should I do if there are those who are not serious about it?"
Feng Ziying couldn't even laugh or cry. After a long while, she shook her head and said: "He is really old. He picked up a piece of gold by chance on the river bank. Does he think he will be so lucky every time?" Qin Sangu relaxed her brows and smiled lightly.
"In my opinion, if the second prince takes over Huo Sheng, the Nan'an branch will still belong to the Holy One, wouldn't it be cheap?"
Qin Sangu looked at him and said, "What if the prince is not the second prince? Wouldn't it be another bloody storm?"
Feng Ziying said sarcastically: "Even if there were no Huo Sheng, wouldn't the princes be bloody? One more of him is not more, and one less of him is not more. But I don't believe that you can't kill him, but those women can. What's happening now
He also hooked up with the prince, and the involvement immediately became serious, and I'm afraid he was throwing a tantrum."
Qin Sangu shook her head and said: "You don't understand how powerful a woman is. As the old saying goes, you can't guard against it. If you walk too much at night, you will inevitably encounter ghosts. One person's action may not be the same as many people's action together. Huo Xuan took him to the military camp to protect everyone.
Saved his son's life. Also, I'm afraid the saint will not take the second prince seriously. The old saint above and the princes outside have not yet settled, and none of the princes who started making trouble in their own homes have
It’s visible to the eye.”
Feng Ziying was silent for a long time and couldn't help but sigh: "It is clearly a peaceful and prosperous time, why do I feel that there are dangers everywhere?"
Qin Sangu said coldly: "A peaceful and prosperous age? Ever since the old saint came out of this dynasty, there has been no peace."
Feng Ziying was so frightened that she waved her hands repeatedly: "Low down."
Qin Sangu lowered her head and smiled to herself, and after a long while she said: "Cong'er talks nonsense every day, and I have given him the courage to shout."
Feng Ziying also smiled and said: "It seems that I have become a lot more courageous."
The two of them chatted about other official matters and just waited for Huo Xuan to leave.
On the other hand, Jia Cong returned home and told his father about the matter. Jia Sheyin said: "The surname Qu Er reported was his mother's family name. Don't ask whether he is Qu Shen's nephew or the second son in the palace. You are doing well this time.
, Baoyu is good as long as he doesn't cause trouble." He frowned and said, "I want you to write a poem? How about asking Gong Kun to write one for you?"
Jia Cong shook his head: "What Brother Feng said is that it is better to write it yourself. I thought, there is no need to hide your clumsiness when writing a poem. Since you can't do martial arts, you must be able to write, otherwise the suspicious and sick people in this world will think too much. I
If I don’t write something better, I’m afraid it will become more eye-catching.”
Jia She looked at him up and down several times, then said with a smile: "Maybe you can write something good?"
Jia Cong puffed up his chest and said proudly: "It's better than ordinary children. Dad, your son is very smart!" As he said this, he thought to himself: He copied a song to Jia Zhen in the early years, and I'm afraid it will be circulated.
I went to the Sixth Prince. In order to keep the style consistent, Mr. Chen Yi, I'm sorry, I'll just copy yours. Anyway, it won't affect you if we are not in the same time and space.
When he returned to his yard, he spliced two poems by General Chen Yi, changed a few words, transcribed them, and ordered Ziguang to send them to the Prince of Nan'an.
Huo Sheng was about to leave the mansion for the military camp, and was afraid that he would not be able to return home. He was listening to his mother's chatter in the yard. Someone outside came and said that Master Cong of the Rongguo Mansion sent someone to send Zhang Jianzi, saying that he owed the prince a debt.
I couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's so fast! Didn't you say it would take several days?"
Princess Nan'an asked hurriedly: "Why do you have contacts with people from Rongguo Mansion?"
Huo Sheng said: "He is the youngest son of Duke Sheng. He is only eight or nine years old. A few days ago, the saint suddenly refused to establish a prince because he was reminded by some gossips on the street."
When the princess heard "only eight or nine years old", she felt relieved and said: "If you look like this, I can't guarantee that you will be a good person in the future. You might as well get to know him." She asked again, "He is the same as Miss Jia in our house."
…”
Huo Sheng said hurriedly: "I heard that Miss Jia came to the palace when he was still in his infancy. Although they are cousins, I have never seen him before. Mother can just take care of Miss Jia for a little while, and it doesn't cost much money."
Just give him face."
The princess nodded and ordered someone to quietly improve the application level of Miss Jia's courtyard.
Suddenly the sign sent by Jia Cong was presented. Huo Sheng picked it up and looked at it. It read:
E Guanbo brought his friends to the house, and his ears were full of wine, and he was in high spirits. With his roar, his husband settled the world, and he relied on me to defeat the enemy and win over the border.
She couldn't help but praise: "Good!" and handed the lot to the princess, "It's really rare for such a young person."
The princess looked at it and said: "You have courage!" After thinking for a while, "Does this son want to inherit his grandfather's ambition? I heard that Rong Guogong killed all the southern barbarians and Beidi, and the barbarians fled."
Huo Sheng shook his head and said, "He said he had no intention of joining the army, but he thought he could go to comfort me in the future. I don't know whether it's true or not." Yin sighed, "It would be nice to... serve as a military advisor with me in the future."
Although the princess didn't quite understand what he said, she increasingly thought that this son could help Huo Sheng in the future. After he left, she ordered someone to send several good things to Yuanchun.
Yuan Chunhun didn't know why. Thinking about the chaos in the house and fearing that she might have other thoughts, he became more and more afraid to go out. He even stopped buying makeup and kept her makeup bare every day.
Huo Sheng immediately copied the poem and sent it to the second prince. When the second prince saw it, he also praised: "He is a good talent." He actually had people spread the poem secretly to see how others would react. Not long after, Situ
Pan then got the copy, shook his head repeatedly, and secretly sighed: "With such momentum, it would be a pity not to be the leader." Jia Lian's banquets suddenly increased, and people often asked him about his brothers in the family. Jia Lian had already lost his father.
He only took out Baoyu to talk, and tried his best to show off that he was getting better at studying. When he mentioned Jia Cong, he smiled and said, "He is still young, just a naughty boy." Others could do nothing about him for a while.
After a few days, Jia Conghuan happily ran to Feng Ziying and said: "I have an excuse!"
Feng Ziying hurriedly asked: "What is it?"
Jia Cong said proudly: "The day before yesterday, when my sister was on the board of directors, I heard from someone below that our aunt, my grandfather's sister, married to Chang'an in the early years. Her husband's surname is Gao, and she is celebrating her seventieth birthday this year. So I named her after her.
Wouldn’t it be appropriate to pretend to go to Chang’an to congratulate my great-aunt on her birthday?”
Feng Ziying frowned: "The Gao family in Chang'an?"
Jia Cong nodded: "This is indeed a very appropriate excuse. Originally, my second brother should be responsible for such a big event, but he is busy with official duties, isn't he? Brother Baoyu is currently focused on studying, and his second uncle and aunt are still looking forward to it.
He went to school early like his elder brother Zhu, so of course he can't leave. With such a big name as his seventieth birthday, he can't let a few servants go there. Therefore, I am the only one who is most suitable."
Feng Ziying didn't know how to respond to him. She couldn't say bluntly, "Their family has great military power and has close contacts with the Sixth Prince. Don't attract the attention of the saints." So she could only say, "You are too young. I'm afraid they think that you are too young."
Your family underestimates this relative."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Our two families have not been in contact with each other for a long time. It is a great honor to be able to work as a minor master. Those words just now were to coax outsiders. If I didn't want to hide outside, I would definitely go to the two big managers.
.”
Feng Ziying thought for a while, fearing that the Rongguo Mansion might have no other ideas, so she could only say: "I'm afraid it won't be easy to live in the open air."
Jia Cong snorted: "Don't look down on me! I have always been able to eat and sleep, so what does this mean? Besides, I have servants to serve me. Besides, don't I have to go back to Jinling to take the provincial examination? Sooner or later I will have to go away.
of."
Feng Ziying had no choice but to give him a few words and report the news to the superiors herself.
After Jia Cong returned home, he reported to Jia She and told him that he had coaxed Feng Ziying, and said: "Dad, as the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. This time, I intend to bring all the brothers from Lixiangyuan together.
go."
Jia She was stroking his beard. After hearing this, he was so nervous that he didn't pull off a few strands. After half a day, he nodded and said, "That's fine, you guys can see the world together. Just be careful not to cause trouble. Can Gong Kun follow?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Of course, he is a military advisor. There is also Liu Feng Xiaoxi. It would be better if Brother Huan can go with us."
Jia She also smiled: "This is easy. You go back first and I will coax your second uncle."
Jia Cong smiled, shouted, "The general is invincible," and skipped back. Jia She then sent someone to invite Jia Zheng.
Baoyu had just returned to the academy a few days ago, and Jia Zheng couldn't help but miss him a little. He was reading Baoyu's articles to relieve his boredom, and was stunned when he heard that Jia She invited him. It was never a good thing for Jia She to look for him, so he thought about it for a long time, but he really thought about it.
When he couldn't find out the whole story, he went to Jia She's study.
When Jia She saw him, he smiled and said: "Second brother, I have something to discuss with you." He took out a list and said, "The old aunt in Chang'an will be seventy years old this year. Now they have drawn up the list. We need someone in our family."
past
It's just a birthday celebration. You and I are old and can't walk so many roads, so it's better to let the younger generation go and see the world. Lian'er is busy with official duties every day, so he won't be able to leave. Look, let Baoyu lead Cong'er
Would you like to go?"
Jia Zheng was still listening in the fog at first, but when he got there he immediately shouted: "No!" Then he added, "Baoyu must concentrate on studying, how can he have time to go to Chang'an?"
Jia She said: "It's just a birthday celebration. How can I miss these few months? Studying is supposed to be a ten-year sharpening of swords. Besides, what's the use of sitting in the academy all day reading dead books? It's better to go out for a walk.
, also take a look at the local customs, it will be easier for you to be an official in the future, right?"
Jia Zheng said: "We haven't had contact with my aunt for many years, so why do we suddenly want to celebrate her birthday? It would be nice to send a few decent servants there."
Jia She said with a straight face: "Second brother, what you said is wrong. Seventy birthdays! As the ancients said, seventy years old is rare, how can it be compared with ordinary birthdays? Our family is also a big family, there must be a gift.
'No? How can there be such a big thing as my aunt?
The reason for the servants to go? No matter what, there should be two masters. Logically speaking, Lian'er should go, but he really doesn't have the time. How about you lead Cong'er away? Anyway, we have Cong'er in this room.
Yes." Yin waved his hand and said, "That's it."
Jia Zhengfang was about to argue with him, but suddenly remembered something and said loudly: "I still have a ring in this room."
Jia She was stunned for a long time and then said, "Huh? Huan'er?"
Jia Zheng said: "That's right. Anyway, his talent is ordinary. It's okay to delay for a few months. Let Huan'er go."
Jia She waved his hands repeatedly: "Huan'er is no bigger than Da Cong'er, right? We can't go over to a couple of children. What's the point? Baoyu must be thirteen years old. At least he is a few years older and more presentable."
Naturally, Jia Zheng refused, insisting that Jia Huan go. The two of them debated for a long time, and Jia Zheng said, "You can either ask the old lady to make a decision."
Jia She was stunned again, a little annoyed: "That's all, Huan'er is just Huan'er. I'll make my old aunt laugh in the future. Our family doesn't even have a half-year-old child, so we only have two babies under ten years old."
When Jia Zheng thought about it, it was really unseemly to leave the two children. After waiting for half a day, he said: "Why let the two of them travel such a long way? It's more appropriate to have a few servants."
Jia She waved his hand and said, "What do you know? Last year and last year, Cong'er was here..." He suddenly stopped talking and changed his face and said, "Anyway, for such a big matter, a master must go there to avoid being rude."
Jia Zheng suddenly became suspicious, but he didn't know what was going on, so he secretly suspected it. For a while, he left Jia She's yard and hurried to Jia Mu's yard to tell the matter.
When Jia Mu discovered the case, she was furious: "Nonsense! Our family has not had contact with the Gao family for many years. Why did Baba ask Baoyu to rush there?"
Jia Zhengdao: "I heard that the meaning of my elder brother's words seems to be related to what happened to Cong'er the year before last."
Jia's mother had paid a visit to Jia Cong in the past two years. After hearing this, she thought about it for a long time and didn't know why. She just said: "I'll go back and ask someone to inquire about Huizi. I'll look at it after I find out. If you really have to go, don't disturb Baoyu's studies."
.Just go to Huan'er."
Jia Zheng said again: "Is it just a matter of Cong'er?"
Jia Mu sighed with tears in her eyes: "I am just blind and deaf now. It is not my turn to know what is going on in this house." The two mothers held hands and wept for a long time.
