After Jia She taught Jarvis for a few days, he realized that this boy was more difficult to teach than Yang Song. Although Yang Song was not good at learning, he could follow what he said and do in a precise manner; Jarvis could talk to flowers, trees, pillars, etc. He was so affectionate that when he saw Lin Daiyu alive, he would only "discuss the budget" and "take a look at the sea map". The old man was very worried.
A few days later, the Xiaoxiang Pavilion was undergoing spring maintenance, and the house was being tinkered with. Recently, news happened to come from the Kingdom of Chen. More than a dozen maids brought from Beijing had escaped from the palace, and King Chen was furious. You know. Liu Mingqiu has been successfully abducted. That afternoon, Jia Xu and Chen Ruijin talked to everyone in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion about the common sense of guarding the interior. After the meeting, Chen Ruijin took Daiyu to indicate that he had something to say, and the others dispersed first. Jia Cong naturally also He took Jarvis and waited on the porch at the door.
After the two girls finished speaking, Jia Cong stepped forward and led his girlfriend in front. Because Lin Daiyu had a calm expression on her face, Jarvis followed her carefully. The four of them were not far apart, and the two behind them could see each other. Listen to the first two shows: Jia Cong's nonsense, Chen Ruijin's "hmm" from time to time.
Passing through an arcade, I heard a crackling sound above my head. Jia Cong raised his face and looked around: "What's the sound?" Seeing a large slab suddenly smashed down, Jia Cong was so surprised that he hugged his head and said, "Oh my god~~ "Chen Ruijin flew up and kicked the floor away, picked up Jia Cong and ran forward. It was too late, but soon, the floor above fell down like a toppled domino. Jarvis couldn't care about anything else, and protected himself. Lin Daiyu hugged her and ran for two steps. Lin Daiyu's legs were obviously weak, so she let him drag her away. Jarvis punched several wooden boards in succession, and heard a creaking sound above his head. Not too sure, I simply picked up Lin Daiyu and jumped forward - it happened to be the princess, but no one had time to watch the excitement at this moment, and no one noticed that Lin Daiyu's face was red with embarrassment.
The four people rushed out of the arcade. They heard a crackling sound behind them, and all kinds of wooden planks and tenons fell to the ground. After taking a breath, Chen Ruijin shouted: "No, the pillar is unstable!" Jia Cong said, "Ouch." " He ran away with a sound, and Chen Ruijin followed. Jarvis had just put down Lin Daiyu for a moment, and after hearing this, he immediately picked her up and ran, straight across a whole covered bridge. At the end of the covered bridge was the Moon Cave Gate. Inside the Moon Cave Gate was In the courtyard of Xiaoxiang Library, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief after stepping into the courtyard.
Jia Cong gasped and said, "It's safe!" Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud "rumbling" sound in the distance. He was afraid that the arcade he just passed by had collapsed. Jia Cong touched the back of his head and said, "Hey, darling! It's so dangerous. !" Turning to look at Chen Ruijin, "Are you okay?"
Chen Ruijin raised his arm: "I was hit by the falling wooden board just now."
"Is the skin broken? Let me take a look." Jia Cong came over, picked up her arm, blew and rubbed it, and the two of them touched their heads.
Lin Daiyu was also busy looking at Jarvis. Her clothes were scratched and her hands were bleeding. She was shocked. Jarvis said: "Nothing happened."
Lin Daiyu's eyes were red: "Where else are you injured?"
"It's just a few knocks."
The noise just now shocked everyone in the library and asked what happened. Jia Cong said: "Go and ask Director Chen to deal with it." Then he said to Daiyu, "I'm afraid Brother Yao'er has to go to the infirmary. "Sister, let's go with him." Daiyu nodded, and he and Chen Ruijin went back first.
Jarvis said: "I don't have to go to the infirmary either."
Lin Daiyu had already thrown away the sullenness she had been feeling for the past few days and raised her brows: "Go!" Jarvis had no choice but to leave honestly.
Jia Cong and the others returned to the prefect's Yamen. When they saw Jia She inside, they shouted, "Dad! Who came up with this bad idea!"
Jia She didn't even raise his head and said, "Hong Xiu, what's wrong? What's the bad idea?"
"How dare she be so bold?" Jia Cong pursed his lips and said, "It's really a bit dangerous."
Jia She looked them both up and down: "Isn't this good? Hong Xiu has always been a measured person. What did she do?"
Jia Cong complained: "You didn't even ask what she wanted to do and let us just listen to her!"
It turned out that the old man Jia She racked his brains and couldn't come up with a good idea. Suddenly he remembered that Yang Song's wife was chosen by Hong.
Hong Xiu thought for a long time and said: "According to what Third Master Cong said, General Jia looks up to Miss Lin as a goddess. So we have to find a way to show Miss Lin's shortcomings and General Jia's strengths."
Jia She also thought for a long time: "Girl Lin... she doesn't have any shortcomings. Everything is her strength."
Hong Xiu smiled and said: "How can there be no shortcomings? Gods also have shortcomings. It's just..." She paused and said, "Sir, if I make a big fuss..."
Jia She waved his hand and said: "As long as it's easy, just go ahead and make trouble! Whatever you want, I'll give you a helping hand."
Hong Xiu lowered his eyebrows and smiled, then said: "I'm afraid I need to trouble Third Master Cong and Miss Chen to help me."
"This is easy." Jia She then told Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin to listen to Hong Xiu's arrangements and do whatever she asked. I really didn't expect that Hong Xiu would collapse the building...
Chen Ruijin smiled and said, "I know about this."
Jia Cong turned around and said, "You know?"
"At first she didn't want to make such a big move," Chen Ruijin said. "She just said that while she was repairing the house, she could just drop some bricks and tiles from it. It was my idea to collapse the building."
Jia She was also surprised: "The building collapsed?"
"Actually, there are people upstairs all the time. At first, the floor slabs were pulled out in sequence with rope-head mechanisms." Chen Ruijin said, "The building will not collapse even when we are close to it; Sister Hongxiu's people will see us go away.
Only then did he let the building collapse, so that Miss Lin would be a little scared. She is too smart to be coaxed."
... But a building collapsed. Jia She and Jia Cong looked at each other. It’s a good thing our family is rich...
The two people who went to the infirmary naturally reconciled, and Jarvis only suffered some superficial injuries. But the doctor was red. Xiu's instructions were to apply medicine and bandage on him with great care, making it look like he was on the battlefield.
He also prescribed a lot of medicines for internal and external use. Lin Daiyu was very smart, but she didn't understand this, which scared the doctor. Jarvis kept saying "nothing happened", but she didn't believe it.
After half a day's work, it was almost dark, and there was still a little red light in the west. The infirmary is to the west of Xiaoxiang Pavilion. There were many flowers and trees planted around the road. Although I couldn't see clearly, the fragrance of flowers wafted from nowhere, which made me feel happy.
Comfortable.
The two of them walked side by side in silence, and when they saw that they were about to turn around and reach the gate of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Jarvis suddenly said: "I can't speak like Cong'er."
Daiyu said after a while: "I know. You are not the same person."
Jarvis said: "I have memorized some of it, but I just can't say it out loud."
Daiyu lowered her head to hold back her laughter: "I know." Everyone laughed for a long time.
Jarvis asked: "Do you listen?"
Daiyu glanced at him and said, "It's fine if you can't say it." It was obvious that she still listened.
Jarvis scratched his head and said cautiously: "Well... you are very beautiful..."
Daiyu couldn't help laughing: "Why is she so beautiful?"
Jarvis thought for a while: "With a coquettish eyebrow and a charming smile...the quiet girl and her shu, waiting for me in the corner of the city...as graceful as a startled giant, as graceful as a swimming dragon..." Lin Daiyu simply stopped and stood up.
I listened to the poem he had memorized for a long time with a smile on my face.
In the end, the blame for the arcade was carried by Hong Xiu herself, and it took several months for people to clean up and rebuild. Fortunately, there was someone above her who did not bear any responsibility; Jia and Lin never thought of being tricked from the beginning to the end.
Now that they were reconciled, Jia She chose an auspicious date to meet Lin Hai and clarify the matter. Lin Hai was so worried about his daughter's marriage that his beard almost turned gray. Hearing that it was Jarvis who could inherit the Lin family's incense, he was overjoyed.
He had seen this son since he was a child. He was like half his own son, and his temperament was very clear. After looking over it, there was really no one more suitable than him. Immediately, he was reluctant to let his daughter get married.
Jia She said: "How can there be someone like you? I was worried when I didn't have a son-in-law, and I was worried when I got a son-in-law. Yao'er respects you from the bottom of his heart, but he is afraid that he and the two will be unfilial? His family are all in the capital, and they have become
It also makes me live in your home."
Lin Hai thought for a while and said, "It's better to live next door. I'm afraid it won't sound good outside." It's like being a door-to-door son-in-law.
"You make up your mind. That honest kid Yao'er is destined to be bullied by you father and daughter."
Lin Hai stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Among them, Cong'er is the one who takes care of the little ones. How can anyone bully Weiss?" He also wanted them to get married as soon as possible.
Jia She said: "We're not going anywhere soon. There's been a lot going on lately. I'll let Lian's daughter-in-law take care of things first."
Lin Hai stroked his heart and sighed: "It's much more practical here."
It became clear that Jarvis's parents were not in Chengtian Mansion, so Jia She chose an auspicious day to go to Lin Mansion to propose marriage for him, and it was settled. However, Gong Kun reminded that Jarvis was of lower origin after all, even if he was from Rongguo Mansion.
His adopted son is a talented man who is famous all over the world, and many people say that he is not worthy of the minister's daughter. If this matter is spread, I am afraid that it will be in vain for idlers to chew on, which is quite annoying. Jia She asked him if he had any ideas, and Gong Kun said: "
I went to Beijing to buy a title for Fourth Uncle Jia. I heard that nowadays the highest-ranking common people can buy a marquis. Anyway, there is no shortage of money, so just buy what you choose." Jia She nodded repeatedly: "Okay! Do it as you wish."
At the end of March, Liu Mingqiu came back and brought back more than 30 masters. Jia Cong felt that she had become rich overnight. Among them was her father Liu Hu. But Liu Mingqiu was raised in the palace while he was urinating, and they only knew him, and they
There is no father-daughter feeling. Because Zhenming has the best kung fu, these people all followed Zhenming first to let him suppress him. Zhenming, an old Taoist priest, is actually a language genius. In the past few months in Taiwan, he has followed those Westerners from Starship Academy.
People learned a lot of Western languages, so they were also ordered to learn ideas.
Not long after the masters arrived, that night, someone quietly whispered a secret message outside Jia Cong's courtyard. After hearing this, Chen Ruijin jumped over the wall and went out to take a look. It turned out to be Liu Hu. He asked what was going on.
Unexpectedly, Liu Hu said, "Girl Chen, I heard from Ming Qiu that you and Jia Cong are getting along quite well these days." Chen Ruijin raised his eyebrows. He sighed softly, "I think you two are not getting along very well these past two days."
That's all. Jia Cong has great affection for you."
Chen Ruijin said: "What does Mr. Liu want to say?"
Liu Hu said: "To be honest, I came here on the order of the Empress Dowager."
Chen Ruijin frowned: "Didn't Sister Liu invite you to go to the West together?"
"Yes." Liu Hu said, "This matter was naturally reported to the Empress Dowager. She thought, what Jia Cong said is very true. With our ability, it is a pity to be trapped in the middle of the capital. Since Westerners are so hostile to us,
The threat is so great that even Taoist Master Zhenming is alarmed, so why not go to the West with him to do great things."
Liu Hu said: "I just know this person. He has been practicing in Tianning Temple, Nanchang Prefecture. He is loyal and reliable."
Chen Ruijin's eyes flashed, and he nodded silently. After a while, he asked again: "Is there anything wrong with Mr. Liu coming to see me?"
Liu Hu said: "The Queen Mother intends to give Jia Cong a princess and princess, although she has not yet decided which one it will be."
Chen Ruijin was stunned for a while and then said, "Huh?"
Liu Hu said calmly: "Jia Cong's thoughts are all on you. In this case, he may not be willing to take the princess and princess. You first go overseas or to the capital or somewhere else to hide for a few years."
Chen Ruijin was startled again: "Huh?"
Liu Hu glanced at her a few times: "You can't be reluctant to let go, right?" Nai said sternly, "In our line of work, there is no need to be reluctant to let go, we just obey orders."
Chen Ruijin whispered: "Is Jia Cong related to the Situ family? In the past, someone wanted to marry the princess to him."
Liu Hu hurriedly asked: "Huh? Who is it?"
"Forget it." Chen Ruijin waved his hand and said, "I wonder if the Empress Dowager has any way to make Jia Cong agree to marry the princess?"
Liu Hu said: "I was about to discuss this matter with you. Now all the princes want to win over Jia Cong, but Jia Cong actually has no intention of helping anyone. He only cares about Westerners and overseas territories. As long as we can seize any
Jia Cong's marriage will give you a lot more leverage."
Chen Ruijin tilted his head, smiled slightly and said: "Excuse me, Mr. Liu, please wait... If you remember correctly, junior, I was originally a person of Eunuch Liu. When Eunuch Liu disappeared, I followed the Rongguo Mansion. I was never a person of the Empress Dowager.
Why should you help her?"
Liu Hu glanced at her, took something out of his arms and handed it to her. Chen Ruijin looked at it under the moonlight and was shocked: "Why is it in Mr. Liu's hands?"
"The book is in my hand." Liu Hu put his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "Liu Dengxi coaxed you." Chen Ruijin was stunned. Liu Hu called several times but she didn't hear him. Liu Hu sighed softly and said, "
Think about it, I'll come back to you tomorrow." Then he left. Chen Ruijin still stood upright.
Early the next morning, Jia Cong yawned and came out of the house. He saw Chen Ruijin sitting in the courtyard wearing night clothes and was in a daze. He hurriedly went over to push her and said with a smile: "What are you doing?" He was shocked! Chen Ruijin's face was full of surprise.
They were all stained with tears, and her eyes were swollen to the size of peaches. She had been crying for an unknown amount of time. Has Jia Cong ever seen her like this? He quickly took her hand and said, "I am responsible for the big things!"
Chen Ruijin looked up at him and asked in a low voice: "What if I disappear one day?"
"Hey, hey, don't scare me!" Jia Cong said anxiously, "I'll turn the whole earth upside down. If you don't have time, go to the outer planet to find it!" After a moment's thought, he suspected the newly arrived group of internal guards.
"How can you let those people next door to my uncle get into the hands of you? We even dare to rebel, so what is there to be afraid of?" He instantly thought of countless future scenarios in his mind, "Even if my grandfather died at the hands of your grandfather.
, that was also a matter of two generations ago." Besides, I came here in costume. Chen Ruijin shook his head. Jia Cong became more and more anxious, "It's okay for the Jia and Liu families to have a grudge!" Chen Ruijin still shook his head. Jia Cong said straightly.
Stomping his feet. "We'll discuss it even if the sky falls! Don't try to coax me. You can coax no one but you can't coax me."
Chen Ruijin murmured: "In my early years in the palace, I owed someone a huge favor..."
"Oh my god!" Jia Cong stroked his chest, "I'm scared to death! I thought it was such a big deal. I owe him a huge favor, and I want to repay him a huge favor. But I can't repay him what he said. How can I repay him?
We have the final say on this favor."
Chen Ruijin was stunned for a moment and suddenly raised his head: "What did you say?"
Looking at her like this, it was obvious that she had been in trouble all night, and her brain was confused. Also, the ancients believed in repaying a favor with a drop of water, and whoever owed someone a favor could last a lifetime. Jia Cong couldn't help but feel sad, and stood up to hug her.
Said: "If someone saves your life, we will find other ways to pay him back. You are not allowed to pledge yourself to me. I have already promised to you, and you must be responsible for me."
Chen Ruijin was confused for a long time, and Jia Cong's heart beat again. Chen Ruijin suddenly burst into tears and laughed. (.. )
