By the way, Jia Cong was in a hurry to go to Ping'an Prefecture. He was speechless all the way. He entered the city that day and went straight to the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion. He read a book at midnight.
Gao Li personally led Gao Mang to greet him and said with a smile: "I thought you would have had to come earlier if you were so impatient."
Jia Cong sighed: "Don't mention it! Those princes are like small traders, and they have been in vain for more than a month. I took some detours and gave the wise king some advice, and I finally made some progress."
Gao Li nodded and said, "It turned out to be your idea."
Jia Cong asked: "How is my sister?"
Gao Mang said with a smile: "She dislikes her for being fat every day."
Jia Cong glanced at him and said, "Brother-in-law, don't you dislike it?"
Gao Mang said: "I don't think so. My second sister-in-law is also pregnant now and is much fatter than your sister." Jia Cong grinned.
Several people walked in together, and Gao Li said: "You go and see the third family first. You are not worried about what happened in Beijing now." Jia Cong nodded vigorously, and then went to their yard with Gao Mang.
Go; without waiting for him to ask, Gao Mang kept talking about welcoming the spring.
When I entered the house, I saw that Yingchun was taking a nap. As expected, she had gained a lot of weight and looked good, so she felt relieved. Then she and Gao Mang sat aside carefully and waited. After a while, Yingchun woke up and opened her eyes.
He shouted in confusion: "Cong'er! Are you here?"
Jia Cong hurriedly stepped forward, took her hand and smiled: "Sister, you are the most beautiful pregnant woman I have ever seen!"
Yingchun said angrily: "How many pregnant women have you seen?"
Jia Cong said: "There are quite a few of them. They are more beautiful than Sister-in-law Liu Er. Sister-in-law Liu is too fierce and not as kind as my sister."
Yingchun laughed and said: "Nonsense!" She actually believed it in her heart! She immediately became happy. Then she remembered to ask him how he was on the way, how was it in the capital, and how was it in the south. Jia Cong just picked up nice words to coax her, and Gao Mang was clumsy and tongue-tied.
The compliments from the sidelines soon made her smile. Seeing that her younger brother had arrived, Yingchun felt reassured and relaxed a little.
Tired of welcoming the spring, Jia Cong left Gao Mang to guard him. Jia Cong went to the imperial doctor's yard to give gifts and express his gratitude, and also brought letters from their families. Although they had been away from home for a long time, and even stayed in Ping'an Prefecture during the New Year, the two imperial doctors made this trip.
He made enough money from the errands and it was quite cost-effective. Finally, he ran to see Gao Li, told him about everything in the capital, and asked about the seafood street. Finally, he casually mentioned: "Zhu Tong's
Revenge is avenged."
Gao Li was surprised: "Reported?"
"Yeah." Jia Cong said, "By chance, I recognized an important figure in SHIELD. I found out the killer and Zhu Tong himself designed and avenged him."
"S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
"It started out as a group of thieves in the green forest more than 80 years ago, making a living by buying information. Now they have access to information from all directions." Jia Cong took the opportunity to brag for Jia Xu, saying that S.H.I.E.L.D. knew everything, and Gao Li could hear it.
He was stunned for a while, and even asked how to contact the SHIELD. Jia Cong said, "We all use code words to contact each other, which will change every month. I will go back to Beijing to inquire about this matter in detail. With them, we can save the time."
A lot of money to support spies." Gao Li couldn't help but nodded.
Because he had known that he would come and the guest house was tidied up, Jia Cong went back to rest. Just as he sat down, a boy from outside came in and said that there was a very respectable girl in Mr. Hua's courtyard who wanted to see him. Gao Ying and Gao Hua
They all went out to do errands. Jia Cong thought they had left some instructions, so he led the girl in.
What came was a pretty girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. Although she was sweating profusely, she looked quite charming. She kowtowed and said, "I am here to serve Aunt Zhou."
Jia Cong was startled: "Why did Aunt Zhou's girl come here? Is she from our house? Brother Huan sent you here?"
The girl was startled, and a boy next to her said, "She is our second master's aunt."
Jia Cong immediately understood that Gao Hua had an aunt whose surname was also Zhou. He didn't find it funny and said, "I was confused. We also have an aunt Zhou in our house. Why did my second cousin send you here?"
The girl burst into tears and kowtowed again: "Master Jia, our aunt is going to have an attack right now. Po Wen says it's not good. I beg the third master to be merciful and trouble the imperial doctor to see her."
Jia Cong was stunned: "Huh?"
The boy said: "I heard that my second wife, Aunt Zhou, fell down early in the morning and is going to give birth prematurely."
Jia Cong frowned and said, "You've been talking for a long time and you didn't mention your second cousin."
The girl said: "The second master was out and didn't come back."
Jia Cong said: "Then who asked you to come to me?"
The girl lowered her head and said, "Slave... I'm worried..." She glanced at Jia Cong secretly and immediately lowered her head.
Jia Cong twitched his lips: "You can go back. Since I am a guest in the Gao family, I won't deal with you."
The servant said from the side: "Sister Oriole, to put it bluntly, Master Jia is a guest. How can an aunt ask relatives and men who are here as guests? It's better for my sister to invite the second master." Then she said to Jia Huan.
, "I heard that adults and children can only protect one child."
Jia Cong said: "Since the little one can be saved, won't he be fine? Don't disturb the second cousin, he has other serious things to do."
The boy winked and said, "This Aunt Zhou is quite popular with the Second Master."
Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "The most indispensable thing in the world is beautiful women. I will find him two more beautiful ones later. I guarantee that he will forget about this in less than a month."
The girl burst into tears and begged hard: "Please, Third Master, our aunt also has a life. She will only have to work hard for the imperial doctor for a while."
Jia Cong said: "There is no shortage of doctors in Ping'an Prefecture. Just hire one from outside. My sister has to be guarded by imperial doctors at all times. Otherwise, you would have to spend so much money and face to invite them here for seven or eight months. It will be idle for seven or eight months."
Are you bored?"
The girl cried: "The third master is also raised by my aunt... If our aunt's child is born without his mother, he is not sure how he will live."
Jia Cong glanced at her: "Whose spy are you?"
The girl was stunned.
Jia Cong said: "I can't tell the difference between female spies, but one was found in my house. Later, someone told me that if a girl is looking for trouble and goes to an unrelated master, she is 70% a spy."
The girl cried loudly and was wronged, just like pear blossoms with rain. Jia Cong was upset after hearing this, and ordered: "Blast out." He stood up and went inside.
The brothers from the special battalion who were nearby also followed suit and said to the boy from the Gao family: "Third Master hates hearing women cry the most."
The girl immediately stopped talking, still weeping. When she raised her head again, Jia Cong and others had long disappeared. The young man felt pity for her and said: "Master Jia didn't order anyone to call the other two."
Come on, I probably don’t suspect the girl."
The girl sobbed: "It's just our aunt..."
The boy shook his head and said, "How can my cousin's aunt look for her to have a baby with her cousin?"
The girl choked and said, "I'm here to give it a try too. Yesterday our aunt asked the second master, but the second master refused to agree and said that our aunt was fooling around. The second grandma pretended to be unhappy and refused to make the decision." She looked back again.
After a few glances, half of them were gone, so they had to cry and leave.
Suddenly the young boy came to the back, and a good brother pulled him and asked the girl if she had anything else to say later. The young boy then elaborated on it one by one. Finally he said: "Your third master is really not a womanizer, this one
Miss Oriole is one of the most beautiful girls in our family."
The brother hummed: "Is this considered top-notch? You have never seen the girl from Jinjiang. She was our third master's personal girl when he was a child." The boy suddenly understood.
Gao Ying and Gao Hua didn't come back from outside until it was close to dinner time, and Jia Cong hurried out to meet her. After saying some important words, Jia Cong mentioned the girl's matter.
Gao Hua was startled: "Lvmei started?" He started to leave.
Jia Cong hurriedly stopped him: "Second cousin, you can't help me! I haven't said anything important yet." Gao Hua had no choice but to come back.
Jia Cong pulled him closer to get together with Gao Ying, and whispered: "I suspect that the girl named Oriole is Xizuo."
The Gao brothers were shocked!
Jia Cong then told her what she had said and done today, naturally omitting the part about "finding him two more beautiful ones later". Instead, he said: "No matter how unruly she came to me, that girl
Judging from his appearance, he is smart, and every word he says is stupider than the next. He is crying and seducing me at the same time, and every move is irritating. I am the young boss of Yihongyuan, and this set was originally used by the fans in our brothel.
. Girls from good families usually have children at home, where can they learn this?"
Gao Hua was startled: "Oriole doesn't seem to be a family-born child."
Gao Huali sent someone to call the housekeeper's wife to ask. The daughter-in-law said: "She was bought from outside last year. She said she was originally the girl of a wealthy family in Beijing. The family fell into ruin and she was sold."
Gao Ying said: "Since that's the case, bring it in for review as soon as possible."
Jia Cong glanced at Gao Hua and said: "The spy sent by King Lu to our house last time was named Zi Yan, which is exactly the same as her name. That Zi Yan was ordered to alienate brother Bao Er and Bao Er sister-in-law, and then she managed it on her own.
When she became your aunt, she was a confidant of sister-in-law Bao. Didn’t that man named Huangli usually flirt with the second cousin? But he wanted to be your aunt? "
Gao Hua thought for a while: "Not really, she is Lu Mei's girl."
Jia Cong curled his lips and said: "She is so beautiful, but you would hook up with me instead of hooking up with her! Do you believe that there is nothing wrong with this girl?"
Gao Hua suddenly felt that there was something wrong with Oriole, and he was about to take her away. He wanted to personally interrogate her. Not long after, someone came running back and forth and said: "Aunt Zhou has given birth to a son. Because of the difficult labor first, the son is almost dead."
Hua said "Oh!" and ran away. Gao Ying asked if he had captured the oriole, and the boy said, "The one who took the last one will come first to report the news."
Gao Ying said helplessly: "Since that's the case, I'll examine it first."
Jia Cong nodded and said, "Let the eldest cousin do the judging. The second cousin can easily fall into the trap of beautiful women." Naturally, it was inconvenient for him to get involved and he withdrew.
Not long after, someone sent a message that Gao Hua's Aunt Zhou was dead. At the second watch, Gao Ying sent someone to invite Jia Cong. Jia Cong went to his yard with his arms on his back, and the boy who came to invite him rushed behind and shouted, "
Mr. Jia San, our uncle is in the study." When he got to the study, he saw that besides Gao Ying, there was a man who looked like a steward who was under thirty years old, and Oriole stood aside. Gao Ying saw him and shouted with a smile.
When Jia Cong said "cousin Cong", he knew that he had guessed wrong. He looked the steward up and down and said, "Who is this gentleman?"
Gao Ying said: "He is Mr. Zhao's nephew."
Jia Cong said: "Look at the appearance of my eldest cousin. Mr. Xiao Zhao sent Oriole to test me today. What to test? Are you close to women? Or do you like to be nosy?"
Gao Ying choked, but Mr. Zhao bowed and said: "Master Jia, please calm down. It's the villain's fault."
Jia Cong said: "I'm not angry, I just feel strange. Just thinking about it, it seems that there are only two things to test. But what is there to test in these two things?"
Mr. Xiao Zhao smiled slightly: "Jia Sanye is extremely talented and seems to be impeccable. But no one in the world can escape the word 'drinking, sex and wealth', so I gave it a try."
Jia Cong frowned: "Why don't I believe this? Don't you know that my family runs a brothel?"
Mr. Xiao Zhao said: "That useless man who runs a tavern is addicted to alcohol. Later I heard that the maid that the third master had when he was young was a rare beauty. If so, it is possible that the third master does not like Oriole's appearance.
"
Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "This is so false, I don't believe it."
Mr. Xiao Zhao said: "Master Jia is someone who cannot be coaxed. I really want to test whether Master Jia ever cares about being a bastard."
Jia Cong turned to look at Gao Ying: "Do you believe this excuse?" Gao Ying looked embarrassed.
Mr. Xiao Zhao smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Jia is a concubine, and he suffered a lot when he was young. The third master Huan, who we made friends with in your mansion, is also a concubine."
Jia Cong said: "But as the nephew of Mr. Zhao, the most important aide of the Gao family, what's the use of testing me whether I care about being a bastard? You can't get along at all, okay?"
Mr. Xiao Zhao still smiled bitterly and bowed deeply to Jia Cong: "It's really... it's..."
Gao Ying sighed: "Forget it, let me tell you. The third uncle's daughter is one year younger than you, and my third aunt has taken a liking to you. Mr. Zhao went back to Chang'an a few days ago, and the third aunt asked him to test whether you are good or not."
I will pity my aunt especially because I was raised by her."
Jia Cong was stunned for three seconds and blurted out: "How is that possible!"
Gao Ying said apologetically: "My third uncle has no idea that the third aunt is somewhat irrelevant..." He cupped his fists and said, "I really feel sorry for my cousin."
Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "I have never taken this matter to heart at all, but I still feel that something is wrong and I can't grasp it for the moment. Cousin, let me think about it."
Gao Ying said: "You smart people just think too much, but you are just a housewife who happens to be stupid."
Jia Cong curled his lips and said: "It would be best if it was just that simple." But he couldn't figure it out for the moment. He was used to being strong, and Jia Huan Jarvis, who was used to helping him check for leaks and fill in the gaps, was not here, so he had to leave it temporarily.
The next day I went to see Yingchun. The two siblings were chatting. There was a dowry for Yingchun outside. Pan and An's family came in and replied: "Aunt Zhou on the other side of the second room passed away yesterday. She gave birth to a son and is temporarily raising it with the second grandma. She said...
It would be a good idea to recruit a son for the second mistress."
Jia Cong scoffed, "That's nonsense." Then he suddenly remembered what happened yesterday and said, "Sister, there is something I always feel is wrong. Let me tell you and listen to it. I hope you can detect what I ignored." Then he ordered Pan.
Then Anjia went to guard the door and told the story about the oriole in detail. "I have thought about it countless times last night. The oriole said that the master she served in Beijing was a Yangzhou thin horse, Huihualou
That story made sense. She also said that she admired Mr. Xiao Zhao and knew that Mr. Xiao Zhao looked down upon her, so she was willing to do things for him."
After hearing this, Yingchun thought: "I know Oriole. She is smarter and more beautiful than Aunt Zhou. I also thought that she would be the aunt of the Second Master Hua sooner or later. That Mr. Zhao is the nephew of an important staff member in the government and is well-born. She It's possible to fall in love. There's just one sentence that's wrong."
Jia Cong's eyes lit up: "Which sentence?"
Yingchun said: "Later she said to the boy in your yard, 'Second grandma pretended to be unhappy and refused to make the decision.' It was obvious that these words were meant to slander the second sister-in-law. She had no intention of being the second brother's aunt and slandering the second sister-in-law. What to do?"
Jia Cong said: "She is that Aunt Zhou's girl, and she is a mortal enemy of her second cousin. There is no problem in this aspect."
Yingchun shook her head and said: "Orioli is much more outstanding than Aunt Zhou in terms of characters, and that Aunt Zhou is not a kind person. If she is favored by Aunt Zhou, it makes sense for her to hook up with her second brother in her house. If there are many I may not be loyal to Aunt Zhou."
Jia Cong stood up suddenly: "I know!"
Yingchun asked hurriedly: "What do you know?"
"Mr. Xiao Zhao!" Jia Cong said, "According to what my eldest cousin said, the third cousin is quite wealthy, and since my sister has married into the Gao family's eldest family, there is little chance that I will get married to the third cousin. None. Although Mr. Zhao is wearing steward's clothes, he has a hidden temperament. Since he is a sensible person, how can he help his third cousin do such a two-hundred-and-fifty-dollar thing?" Jia Congmo said Grinding his teeth, "He's lying!"
After hearing this, Yingchun thought for a moment and said, "If he is lying, this matter has nothing to do with him. He is saving Oriole."
Jia Cong nodded: "Yes, the two of them are in the same group. Let's first assume that my sister's usual thoughts are right, and Oriole wants to be my second cousin's aunt. Oops!" He patted the desk and said, "Sister, is there any way to find out? Are there any problems with the death of Aunt Zhou? Did she really die in childbirth? I heard that it is easiest to attack a woman when she is giving birth."
Yingchun said: "Aunt Zhou is just an ordinary woman, who would kill her?"
Jia Cong bared his teeth and said, "It's hard to say. I'm sure someone is playing a big game of chess. Come on!"
Pan Anjia rushed in. "Third Master!"
"Brother-in-law, please come here. I have something to say."
