But it was said that Jia Cong jumped to Jia Zhengwai's study. Jia Zheng was sulking again after reading at midnight. Five or six Qingguo gathered around him to persuade him. Jia Zheng just gritted his teeth and cursed "treason, treason". Jia Cong smiled.
He poked his head at the door of the study, waved his hand, and shouted sweetly: "Good morning, uncle~~"
Jia Zheng saw that he was getting more and more angry and said with a sullen face: "What a shame!"
Jia Cong walked in quickly: "Second uncle, it's very pleasant to be surrounded by so many people."
Jia Zheng was a little afraid of him and snorted heavily.
Jia Cong sat down on the chair in front of him and said, "I want to tell my uncle a story."
Jia Zheng ignored him.
"King Tota wanted to know how respected he was in the world, so he went to a New Year painting shop, pointed at the portrait of the door god and asked, how much does this cost? The shopkeeper said, twenty cents. He pointed to the portrait of the Land Lord and asked
, What about this one? The shopkeeper said, thirty cents. Finally, he saw his portrait and thought, I am more senior than the two of them, so I must be more valuable, so he smiled and asked, What about this one? The shopkeeper said, if you buy that
Two pieces, this one is considered as a bonus and given away for free. King Tota was furious and asked, "Why is this king not valuable because he has a high official position?" The shopkeeper said, "The door god keeps a household safe, and the earth god keeps a place safe."
A god is useless."
Jia Zheng was furious in vain: "How outrageous!"
With an innocent look on his face, Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "Did I say something inappropriate?" He then looked left and right to see the group of Qing guests who had no time to escape, "Everyone, did I say something inappropriate?"
Where did the Qingqi dare to speak? They all wanted to shrink into the cracks in the ground.
Jia Cong added: "It seems that my uncle doesn't like this story. I didn't plan to tell it at first. Brother Huan just threatened me not to beat around the bush and scold him, so I changed it temporarily. In fact, what my nephew originally wanted to tell was another one.
.There was a turtle crawling very slowly, and he thought, why am I crawling so slowly? Oh, it must be because I am carrying a heavy shell. If I take off the shell, I will be able to run faster than a rabbit! He then took it off
The turtle's shell fell off. Then he was eaten by dogs."
Jia Zheng's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Jia Cong shrugged and said, "Since the second wife paid off Tan Mo's public account, my father has been planning to separate the family and drive out the second wife."
Jia Zheng was shocked: "How dare he!"
Jia Cong said: "Second uncle just wants to know what he was afraid of in that situation. It has been so long that he has forgotten it."
Jia Zheng thought about Dafang's fierceness at that time and thought that it was really possible. Then his face turned gray.
"My father thought over and over again that Brother Huan is really a talented person. He couldn't bear to part with this outstanding nephew, so he didn't split up. So he wanted to move back to Rongxi Hall. But he was afraid that the second room was too small. The second wife noticed that Brother Huan
I was studying and trying to deal with him. Finally, I decided to hold off for the time being and wait until Brother Huan matures."
Jia Zheng was shocked!
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Therefore, my father didn't do anything, not to give face to our ancestors." Nai then said seriously: "Second uncle, many people outside now say that you are not as good as my father, are you not convinced?
?Do you think my father is inferior to you?"
Without waiting for him to speak, he picked up his pen and wrote:
There is no wormwood in the face of thousands of families, but they dare to sing and mourn.
Lian Guangyu's mind is so vast that he listens to thunder in a silent place.
He put down his pen and said proudly: "Have you ever seen this poem? Does my second uncle have this ability? I memorized it when I was a child." He didn't say it was written by his father, but who else would think it was not Jia She?
Made?
Jia Zheng was a scholar. Even though he failed to pass the imperial examination, he could see that poetry was good and was shocked: "It's impossible!"
Jia Cong's face remained unchanged and his heart stopped beating: "If my father hadn't been a bastard in those years, our family would have been confiscated and wiped out. Before King Wu, the first thing he did when he took office was to confiscate the Zhen family in Jinling? There was a grandfather in the previous generation,
The next generation has us, and the generation between you happens to be incompetent, so the Tian family can rest assured. Three generations in a row are all capable, which emperor dares to stay in the Rongguo Mansion? I dare to ask my second uncle, if you can't pass the imperial examination, you can't climb to the fifth rank.
, is it just like my father, just pretending?"
Jia Zheng's face immediately turned red. The imperial examination and the small rank of fifth-rank official had been his weakness for many years. No one had ever dared to expose it, but this boy stabbed him clean in front of all the purges!
Jia Cong stood up and said, "I hope my uncle will understand some sense and stop messing around. I really made Brother Huan feel so disheartened that he ran south. I couldn't wait to do that." After saying that, he withdrew and left. What would happen to Jia Zheng?
I don't think he can care about it.
Back in Jia Huan's house, Jia Cong said with a smile: "I gave my second uncle a beating and scared him. It felt so good!"
Jia Huan frowned and said, "Fuck you, that's my father. He will definitely take that fan in next time."
Jia Cong said: "That fan is determined not to come in. Let's leave this matter to the old lady."
A father is better than a son, and Jia Huan guessed it right! Jia Zheng lost face in front of Qing Ke, and was fooled by Jia Cong with Mr. Lu Xun's poems, thinking that Jia She was really better than him in literary talent, and he actually became
What a joke! It was obvious that the house could not support his son, and his whole body was about to collapse. Only Hui Niang outside could temporarily relieve her boredom. Because she thought that now that the world was settled, it was time to take Hui Niang into the house. So she went to talk to Hui Niang.
Jia Mu discussed.
How could Jia's mother agree? For the first time in her life, she scolded Jia Zheng like a dog! She said, "It's easy for you to find a close friend. Nowadays, women outside don't know the basics, so they just keep one in the house."
." So he and he chose a 16-year-old maid next to them, called the Pearl Maker, to be his aunt. Since her surname was Xu, she was called Aunt Xu in the house.
This Pearl is already the third person Jia Cong knows. At first, the name was given to the attacker, and then a maid was named Pearl. Now that maid has been released to be married to a boy, and the new one is also called Pearl. Jia Mu
The only remaining old man around him is the mandarin duck and the amber, which is twenty years old and has not been released yet. Jia Mu is also quite worried. Needless to say, the mandarin duck is also very rare to use amber. If the two of them are released, Jia Mu has to say that the people around her will not be released.
There was no one available. Jia Mu's former old man had asked Jia She and Jia Lian to empty out their homes many years ago, and she didn't dare to trust the girls who were brought in later.
Aunt Xu was young, beautiful, and soft-tempered, so she immediately won Jia Zheng's favor. With Hui Niang's methods, it would have been easy to win Jia Zheng back. But since she knew she couldn't enter the house, she naturally wanted to get out as soon as possible.
She took the opportunity to reveal some of her whereabouts to Jia Zheng, letting Jia Zheng know that she had other benefactors. Jia Zheng became furious and made everyone in Yihong Court aware of it. The news spread throughout the capital in an instant. At this time, Rongguo Mansion
The second master's reputation was something that even the late emperor could not get over. When Jia Huan met friends outside, he was often pitied and comforted, and he was so annoyed that he didn't want to go out. Jia Cong was gloating about his misfortune. Hui Niang took advantage of the fact that everyone in the market wanted to join in the fun.
What does Mr. Zheng's mistress look like? She made a lot of money and saved it for her to leave the country in the future.
Aunt Zhao knew that she couldn't compete with Aunt Xu, so she simply stopped fighting and went to Mrs. Wang to make some sarcastic remarks. Because she relied on Jia Huan to gain power, Mrs. Wang could do nothing now, and her heart felt as if thousands of ants were eating her heart. After a few days,
, she then opened up her eldest girl Jin Chuan'er and gave it to Jia Zheng as a marriage partner, and the family name was changed to Miss Bai. Aunt Xu was as gentle as water, while Miss Bai was as passionate as fire. Jia Zheng got two beauties.
Mother, she has forgotten all these troubles inside and outside the house, drinking and having fun with her every day, just like Jia She did back then. Passers-by gossiped that the two gentlemen of Rongguo Mansion were so serious that they wanted to make a living first.
It's ridiculous, let's get rid of the ridiculous thing first. This is a story for later.
Let's talk about Jia Cong. After returning to Beijing, he wandered around a few times and met the people he needed to meet again. He then persuaded Lin Hai to go south with him. Although Lin Hai persuaded him for four or five points, he was just worried about next year's imperial examination.
, and left if he refused. Jia Cong and Jia Huan tried to persuade him for a long time to no avail, so he had to give up for the time being.
Qin Keqing was feeling a little unwell at this moment, so he asked the doctor to check, and he was actually happy! Liu Xianglian was so frightened that she rushed to the Rongguo Mansion to discuss the matter. Jia Cong spread his hands and said, "I have to go back to the south quickly.
There is no one left in the capital, and Mrs. Liu's matters at hand have been sorted out, why don't you do it yourself."
Liu Xianglian shook her head and said: "I can stay day and night, train and fight, but I really can't do my wife's business. I always look at her account books and my head hurts."
Jia Huan said: "Just let her guide you."
Liu Xianglian shook her head like a rattle: "It really can't be done. If it can be done, how can I shirk the blame? If you don't let Ge Qiao go, Brother Huan can do it."
Jia Cong said: "Ge Qiao is not that good. The situation in Beijing is changeable. Brother Huan has to take care of everything." Remembering that they saw Shi Qiu Sheng's good nature, Jia Huan brought him and his grandparents to Beijing.
At this moment, he was asking Gong Sanyi to help teach him. He looked at Jia Huan and said, "Hey, has that little stone taught you yet?"
Jia Huan looked at him as if he were a fool: "He has only been in our house for a few months. He doesn't know all the words, and he doesn't do anything like that. He does have the same energy as I did back then, down-to-earth, steady, and kind. I
It looks quite impressive."
Jia Cong and Liu Xianglian both laughed: "I just want to pay it back, are you kind?"
Without waiting for Jia Huan to defend herself, Liu Xianglian said immediately: "Looking back at the time when I first met you, Huan'er was quite kind. I don't know when it became like this."
Jia Huan pointed at Jia Cong: "Those who are close to ink will be black!"
The three of them laughed in unison.
Jia Huan suddenly rolled his eyes: "Hey, where's that Zhu Tong? It's really rare for me to chat with him these days. Aren't you the best at abducting people? Come on! The people who come to your door are not worth anything."
"
Jia Cong glanced at him: "I've turned all the way, okay? If I can, I'll turn here sooner."
Jia Huan said: "I see you didn't put in a lot of effort. You just thought he was from Beringen, and you were a little hesitant and not at ease. There is really no one available now, and you guys from the south are unwilling to send people here."
Jia Cong waved his hands repeatedly: "People in the south can't move!"
Jia Huan looked at Liu Xianglian: "Try to use the same force you used to abduct Liu's second brother!"
Liu Xianglian glared at him, then smiled again and sighed: "It was like a dream before. I didn't expect that I, Liu Erlang, would even have a son." Yin touched his chin and said, "It's time for me to grow a beard too."
Jia Cong let out an "ouch": "No, if a man grows a beard and looks more stable, he will look older. Look how young Sister-in-law Liu is! Even if she doesn't dislike you, she doesn't look like a good match."
When Liu Xianglian heard this, she immediately gave up the idea of growing a beard.
They discussed it over and over again, but there was really no one available. With no choice, Jia Cong had no choice but to consider Zhu Tong.
He always acted straightforwardly, so he sorted out his thoughts and went straight to Zhu Tong's guest room.
Zhu Tong was reading a book and quickly put it down when he saw him coming in. Jia Cong glanced at the cover. It was the "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" that they had asked Mr. Xi to translate when they were in Lixiangyuan a few years ago. He was surprised and said
: "You're actually watching this?"
Zhu Tong said: "It's very interesting. I wonder who this Mr. Niu is. I might recognize him a little bit."
Jia Cong sighed: "He is from Western England. Unfortunately, he only died a few years ago."
Zhu Tong felt very sorry when he heard this. Then he asked Jia Cong if he had something to do here.
Jia Cong said: "Poaching."
Zhu Tong smiled bitterly and said, "How dare you betray your master?"
Jia Cong said: "Mr. Zhu, your father is a son of Prince Yizhong, so you are right."
"right."
Jia Cong said with regret: "Prince Yizhong is dead."
Zhu Tong said: "The princess is still here."
Jia Cong said: "I have met the princess twice. She is a noble lady, not a human master."
Zhu Tong said: "The old master left an orphan, and he didn't dare to abandon him."
Jia Cong asked: "Did your father-in-law order you to continue serving Prince Yi Zhong before he passed away?"
Zhu Tong was stunned for a moment: "Not really."
Jia Cong said: "Your Majesty took the young prince away from home and hid in a foreign country, just because he didn't want you to get involved again. In fact, you got involved in this matter later because you wanted to avenge your father."
Zhu Tong nodded.
"You said you don't hate the King Xian and the Supreme Emperor, so why do you hate your enemies? They are also acting under orders. Besides, there are so many people under Liu Dengxi. He and King Xian were in charge at the time, and then King Xian was taken away from this position.
Later, Liu Dengxi escaped, and Feng Ziying took over again. Several leaders were changed back and forth, and the people inside would inevitably change. It is not known whether the person inside has been killed in the inner barricade, or Jinpen has washed his hands. You
I really want to know, it would be better to stay in Beijing."
Zhu Tong couldn't help but stood up: "Do you have a clue?"
Jia Cong said: "No. I made those tiger charms."
Zhu Tong's brows jumped: "You did it?!"
Jia Cong nodded: "I stole it from Situ Pan and copied it, then returned it after finishing it."
Zhu Tong thought: "It seems that the Supreme Emperor is in the hands of a wise king."
"Ninety percent yes. If I were Liu Dengxi and couldn't find any clues about Prince Yi Zhong's former subordinates, Bao Buqi would change his angle and look for clues from people who make counterfeit antiques."
Looking at Zhu Tong again, it was obvious that he was tempted.
He added: "The person in charge of our seafood business is pregnant now. Mr. Zhu, would you like to help us pay for it for a year? I will return it to her after she has given birth. You can go back to Chang'an or go to Lingnan."
That’s fine.”
Zhu Tong was stunned again: "Pregnant? Could it be that the person is a woman?"
Jia Cong nodded: "A woman has both talent and beauty, which is rare in the world."
Zhu Tong said: "I heard earlier that you like to use women. But if you leave your business to me, aren't you afraid that I will know your family's secrets?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "These businesses are all open to the public in our family. The most important ones in the accounts are left to Sister Qin, otherwise there is my Fourth Uncle Jia. Moreover, our family's accounting and
There are wonderful ways to manage business, and it will be beneficial for you to learn them."
Zhu Tong knew that Jia Cong had a genius, having seen it in Ping'an Prefecture a few days ago. He was only in his twenties, how could he not be curious and not willing to learn? After thinking about it for a long time, he said, "I have to talk to Mr. Gong."
Discuss and discuss.”
Jia Cong clapped his hands and said: "It's easy to handle! He is my husband!"
He then went back and told Jia Huan and Liu Xianglian. They both said, "It's not appropriate to hand it over to an outsider so rashly."
Jia Cong laughed twice: "Don't worry. As long as he works with us for a year and we give him a few sugar-coated bullets, many things in his mind will be assimilated by us. Brother Huan, please put more thought into it."
Besides, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. This is a truth that applies to everyone. He is used to doing it here, and he will not be able to do it anywhere else! This is called the superiority of the system!
"Just as people of later generations are used to working in foreign companies with advanced internal management, if they are asked to work in government agencies in small cities, they will probably not be able to do it.
Jia Huan said: "What if he learns our tricks and goes away?"
Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "How old is Beringen? How can we let him control it? Old people have old habits. Only young people can do what we do. I'm afraid Old Man Gong can't even do it."
Having said that, both Jia Huan and Liu Xianglian had some doubts.
On the other side, Situ Pan and his staff discussed over and over again, but they really couldn't find any other way to solve the imperial examination, river management and other matters, so they had no choice but to follow Jia Cong's idea and send letters to the kings, asking them to send people to discuss together. The world suddenly exploded.
Oil pan.
At this moment, Jia Xichun and Wu You happened to enter Luzhou.
