Time flies by like a white horse, and the passing away is like a man. I don’t want to leave day and night. Reading at midnight
There was a group of people riding horses lazily into the city at the north gate of the capital. One of the two young men in the lead was crestfallen, and the other was full of joy. After the sister-in-law Jia Cong made all the excuses, the eighteen-year-old Jia Yingchun finally got married.
Ping'an Prefecture. Needless to say, Gao Mang has been subjected to all kinds of coercion and inducement in the past two years; in just ten days of getting married, the ten miles of Hongzhuang provoked seven or eight groups of robbers. Fortunately, Liu Xianglian and Ge Qiao each led
No. 200 Panlongshan heroes escorted her one after another, so that they did not disturb the wedding party.
Not long after they entered the city, they heard someone shouting from behind, "Military information is urgent! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" They hurriedly turned their horses on the roadside to look around. They saw a soldier on horseback galloping past, even though he couldn't see clearly because he was covered in dust.
, it can also be seen that the back is tired, and everyone is secretly surprised.
Returning to Rongguo Mansion, the two brothers first went to see Jia She to explain the marriage. After hearing this, Jia She nodded and said: "It's great that your sister is getting married. It saves you the trouble of looking for Mang'er every day. You haven't gone to school yet."
" Jia Cong pouted and went back. When he got to the house, he opened the box and saw that it was full of clothes that he had prepared for himself before getting married in the Spring Festival. He suddenly missed Gao Mang and regretted letting go of Gao Mang too easily.
Suddenly, news came from outside that there was a war in the South China Sea, and some small islands in Fanbang were causing trouble. I couldn't help but frown.
Ever since Wang Ziteng was transferred to the governorship of Guangdong and Guangxi two years ago, Lingnan had been covered up by them. Soon, Wu You cooperated with Shuirong Huo Sheng's men and used a bullying attitude to seize the first Dutch merchant ship at night.
It was transported back by Xue Pan under the banner of maritime merchant. According to Jia Cong's wishes, the Jia family did not ask for the first batch of goods, but the ship. Although they knew that the ship was extremely valuable, because the Jia family presided over
For the sake of the overall situation, those few people didn't object. Later, they asked Zhenhai merchants to buy guns and cannons from the West, and they started to become pirates.
Since Wang Ziteng was Xue Pan's uncle, no one suspected that there was anything wrong with him suddenly going to work as a maritime merchant. In the first year, he just waited for the navy to get hold of him and sold the stolen goods. In the second year, he actually bought a ship and hired people.
The goods were shipped to the West, but the things for sale were all sent by Liu Xianglian and Zhong Heng. They were a group of people doing business without capital. Xue Baochai was taking care of the Xue family in the capital. Because of his extraordinary talent, he could do it in a short time.
Taking charge of her own affairs. As expected, she followed Jia Cong's words. Gradually, this woman began to taste the power of being in charge, and no longer paid attention to finding a family.
Hong Kong gradually took shape, there were more and more smuggling ships, and people from all walks of life became aware of it. Because everyone had their own interests, they worked together to hide it from the court.
If there was a war in the South China Sea, it would be somewhat detrimental to Hong Kong's business. Fortunately, two days later the saint issued an order, ordering Huo Sheng, the prince of Nan'an County who was stationed in Hebei, to go south to meet the enemy.
When Jia She got the news, he couldn't help but cursed: "It's a shame that he has the nerve to let a child who is not as good as a weakling go to fight."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "There are General Bai, Uncle Wang, and the navy left by his grandfather over there. It's okay to come to this battle."
For a while, the wet nurse brought Jia Meng over to play with her. Because it was Jia's mother's 80th birthday this year, Wang Xifeng was quite busy. After all, Jia She loved her grandson, so she often brought Jia Meng over and put her in his room, not knowing who was accompanying whom.
Suddenly someone came in and said, "Someone from the Shangshu Mansion is coming outside. Mr. Lin asked Mr. Cong to come over. Jia Cong agreed, picked up his feet and left. When he got to the door, he remembered that he had forgotten to say goodbye to him, so he ran away again.
When he came back, Jia She had no time to pay attention to him, he was focused on coaxing his grandson to play, and waved him to leave quickly.
Jia Cong hurried to the Lin Mansion and saw the forest surface sinking like water. As if there was something important, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Lin Hai grabbed him and whispered: "Concubine Hui sent someone to take your sister to the palace to play today."
Jia Cong was so smart. He immediately remembered that there were rumors at the beginning of the year that the two princes were going to choose a concubine, and he shuddered: "No! How can a saint agree? Besides, the eldest prince's own mother is the queen, so she will definitely cause trouble."
Lin Haidao: "What is the queen? There are many women in the palace, but the only one who has truly won the Holy Heart is Concubine Hui. In the past two years, the wise king has become more and more indifferent, and the saint is quite stubborn."
Jia Cong hurriedly asked: "Sir, is there anything you can do now?"
Lin Hai shook his head: "For more than half a year, the saint has been quite satisfied with the second prince, and he is really interested in making him the prince. Also, the Han family never gave up after Han Guang's death. The eldest prince did too much. If the murderer was killed,
It would be nice to leave it to the Han family, but he is reluctant to part with it."
Jia Cong said curiously: "No, it's just two gangsters."
Lin Hai smiled bitterly and said, "Who knows what he was thinking. He probably thought that the prince was in control, so he was a little presumptuous. Although he is a descendant of the queen, in the emperor's family, there is not much difference between the direct descendants and concubines, but it is a pity that he does not understand."
Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "Sir, do you think Sister Lin's current situation is urgent?"
Lin Haidao: "Eager, very anxious. Concubine Hui is a very smart woman. She would not dare to do such a presumptuous act without the approval of the saint."
Jia Cong then raised his fingers and said: "Concubine Hui intends to let Sister Lin be her daughter-in-law. She can tie you up, uncle, and can also catch up with brother Xian Wang and our three brothers. Going a bit further, even Wang Ziteng and Xue Pan
, the Gao family in Chang'an can catch it."
Lin Hai nodded and said: "That's right. Whichever prince gets your sister, military power, money, and talents will all follow her."
"Therefore, if the prince who married Sister Lin is not the prince, I am afraid he will be pulled down. No matter how stupid a saint is, he will not cause trouble for his son." Jia Cong stared at Lin Hai, "He has chosen the prince in his heart.
, it’s the second child.”
Lin Hai was speechless.
"If you want to mess up this matter, all it takes is one of the three of the Second Prince, Concubine Hui, and the Saint to oppose it. Does uncle think it's possible?"
Lin Hai thought for a long time and sighed: "I'll try it at Prince Xian's Mansion."
Jia Cong waved his hands repeatedly: "It's useless to look for him. If the saint is willing to listen to his words, what happened today will happen."
Lin Hai's voice was trembling: "Cong'er, do you have any idea?"
Jia Cong blurted out: "Either destroy the second prince."
Lin Hai scolded: "Nonsense!"
"Or run away."
Lin Hai was startled.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Uncle, don't worry, your apprentice's ability to kill is ordinary, and he is also capable of escaping. But according to common sense, my uncle is still thinking of a bit of luck at this moment, thinking about it, hoping that the saint will change his mind, no
I won't be willing to take this step when things get tough. I'll prepare to go ahead so that I won't be hasty in the future." After saying that, he bowed to Lin Haishen, turned around and left.
He just walked to the door when Lin Hai shouted: "Come back!"
He's back again.
Lin Hai said solemnly: "The matter is now over, there is nothing to be lucky about. You can prepare yourself."
Jia Cong smiled deeply and bowed again: "Disciple, I respect my master's orders!"
As soon as he left the Lin Mansion, he went straight to the Taiping Escort Bureau. Gong Sanyi had left many things to others to do, so he had a little free time. Seeing him coming in in a hurry, he smiled and asked what was going on.
Jia Cong saluted him and said, "I want to sell the weapons left by Prince Yi Zhong."
Gong San also knew that all Jia Cong's money was exchanged for Western guns. The guns were given to Liu Xianglian's people. Although they were a pity, they were really useless. So he asked: "In exchange for what?"
Jia Cong winked: "Territory!"
Gong Sanyi thought for a while, nodded and said: "It's a good deal. I just have to ask Enhou what he means."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "I won't object." Then Pegasus went straight to Rongguo Mansion.
When Jia She saw him barging in with sweat on his head, he cursed: "It stinks! Don't hang out in front of Meng'er, you're suffocating my grandson."
Jia Meng chuckled.
Jia Cong glared at the boy, then stretched out his hand and pinched his cheeks, causing him to scream. Fang leaned close to his ear and said Concubine Hui's intention despite Jia She's scolding.
Jia She was shocked: "No! Then there is no need for chaos!" He knew that his boy was born rebellious, and he respected Lin Daiyu very much. If she became the princess, wouldn't it be a mess in the future?
Jia Cong said: "At the moment, there is no way to make the saint change his mind. The only way is to escape."
Jia She frowned and said: "With Panlong Mountain here, there is no problem in escaping. But she is also fifteen, so she can't keep running away. It would not be good if her reputation is damaged - speaking of reputation, my ears have been numb in the past two years.
My ancestors are almost scratching their heads. What’s going on with your eldest sister? There have been many proposals in the past few years, but she refuses to marry."
Jia Cong snorted: "Why is she getting married? Last year, our clan school got six talented people, six! Even the old man Jia Dairu admired her. Now people outside respect her more and more."
Jia She said: "She just paid it back. Have you said anything to the ancestors? Why did I listen to the ancestors and you made a wonderful marriage in Yuanchun?"
Jia Cong was stunned: "No, I don't have that string at all."
Jia She saw that he didn't look fake and muttered: "It's weird, why does she always mean what she says?"
Jia Cong said hurriedly: "Dad, we are off topic. We are talking about Sister Lin."
Jia She said: "Yes, yes, what do you think?"
Jia Cong said: "Sister Lin's identity is a piece of fat in the eyes of the princes. As long as she is in the capital for a day, they will not let her go. Therefore, if you want to hide, you must not hide in the capital. But she cannot go to Panlong Mountain either.
Stay for a lifetime. This is just an introduction. What matters is the root cause. If this matter is revealed, it will obviously be a harbinger that the crown prince's position has been determined. How can the other princes give up? All kinds of monsters and snake gods will come out. In addition,
The old saint is only about two years old. There will be chaos in the capital by then, and we don’t know what the disaster will be like. It’s better to hide out and find a place for my brother. At least we can hide out."
Jia She was shocked when he heard this. He thought for a long time and said hesitantly: "I may not be able to use swords. Besides, Liu Xianglian can take shelter for a while."
Jia Cong knew that he was reluctant to part with the wealth and honor in the capital, so he said: "If you are not afraid of ten thousand, then you are afraid of the worst. What's more, there is no chance in this matter. Dad, Meng'er is only three years old."
Jia She raised his eyes to look at his grandson, becoming more and more undecided.
Jia Cong sighed: "You should think about it first. It's getting late. I'll go ask Sister Lin how she is doing in the palace today."
Jia She nodded. Jia Congnai hurried back to Lin Mansion.
Lin Daiyu has come back now. She is an unusual woman from the back house. She was originally extremely talented. In her early years, her father raised her as a son. Later, she accepted Jia Cong, his apprentice three hundred years later, and let him attract her.
Lin Daiyu gradually became unscrupulous. Therefore, when Concubine Hui came to pick her up, she had already guessed the intention. Knowing that Concubine Hui was 90% the candidate for the second prince, Lin Daiyu dressed up very plainly. When they arrived at the palace, Concubine Hui saw her.
Her eyes lit up, and she pulled her over to ask questions. She only looked shy and shy. When Concubine Hui asked her, she was sincere and concealed her clumsiness, deliberately leading people to think that she was reckless and unworthy of publicity.
Seeing her proud look, Lin Hai and Jia Cong looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Jia Cong said: "It's better for my sister to pretend to be glamorous. The plainer you are, the better-looking you are, so she is naturally stunning. Besides, she's not looking for a daughter-in-law with a motherly demeanor at all, is she? She'll be happier if you don't show up on stage.
.”
Daiyu was startled: "Where to start?"
Jia Cong said: "I heard that the current queen is quite petty, not even half as magnanimous as Concubine Hui."
Lin Haidao said: "When we got married today, the prince was still Prince Xianyi Zhong." He sighed, "But Princess Xianyi Zhong is a strange woman with great grace."
Jia Cong went on to say: "As long as the emperor is capable, it doesn't matter what his wife is like. Look at the great emperors in history, which of the political achievements has anything to do with women? Among the queens who have left their names in history, except for those who are famous for their virtues and virtues,
, all of them are accompanied by a mediocre or foolish king. But which capable woman will become weak when meeting an incompetent husband? Mother's etiquette in the world is bullshit."
Lin Hai shouted again: "Nonsense!"
Jia Cong made a face: "What Concubine Hui wants is not a dignified, virtuous, and capable daughter-in-law. What she wants is Uncle Lin, Rong Guofu, a wise king and a saint. As for your temperament, it doesn't matter what you look like."
It is best to be beautiful, her son will definitely like it; it doesn’t matter if she is not beautiful, her son can have many women anyway. Of course, the more obedient the temperament, the better, and the dumber the brain, the better. Sister Lin, you are really smart this time, alas, disciple
There is almost no way I can save you!"
Daiyu first listened to what he said before, and her face became more and more ugly. When she heard the last thing, she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "What can you do? Tell me quickly."
Jia Cong glanced at Lin Hai, who coughed and said, "Cong'er said that we must find a way to escape for a while."
Daiyu hesitated and said, "The look in Concubine Hui's eyes when I came back today is probably not easy."
Jia Cong said: "It's really not easy. It's not easy, but you have to find a way, isn't it?" He then took Daiyu around to the other side of the study and bit her ear for a long time.
Daiyu wondered, "What are you doing?"
Jia Cong stamped his feet: "Anyway, tell me if you can do it. If it doesn't work, I'll ask someone else to come up with something."
Daiyu thought for a moment and said, "I can do it."
Jia Cong said: "Sister, please give me the picture as soon as possible to take care of your important matters."
Lin Hai hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?"
They both said in unison: "Nothing!"
Lin Hai snorted but didn't press.
Lin Daiyu had been busy all night, and early the next morning she sent Zicuckoo to deliver a letter to Lixiangyuan. Jia Cong was overjoyed and praised: "It's so fast." He sent her away first and looked at the drawing for half a day.
, put it away again.
At this time, the brothers were all exercising in the yard, and Yao'er was practicing on the tiny plum blossom pile. Jia Cong ran over and waited aside. When he got off the plum blossom pile, Jia Cong came forward and said, "Sister Lin
We’re in big trouble.”
Yaoer frowned and turned around: "What's the trouble?"
"Concubine Hui wanted her to be the second prince's wife, and the saint agreed."
Yao'er was stunned for a long time, frowned, clenched his fists and growled: "I'm rebelling!"
Jia Cong jumped to the side: "Hey! Why are you stealing my lines!"
