But they said that Shi Li, Jia Cong, Liu Xiaoqi and the others had rescued a pink-headed girl, but they could no longer live in the village, and wanted to take her and leave with her son. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, the woman who led the way was guarding their horses.
He found Manman and ran forward to hug her and cry. As he was crying, the patriarch led people to block the way out and said to them: "That woman can be taken away, but the golden root belongs to our Zhao family."
A man." Manman was so anxious that she hurriedly tugged at Shi Li's clothes.
Shi Li glanced at Jia Cong, who said: "You don't have anything to say about this matter. When his mother and son were so poor that they had no rice to cook, they didn't see you to help them. Why should I believe that he wants to have a child now?"
Will you take care of him well?"
The clan leader said coldly: "Don't worry, my guest, I, the old man, am standing here today to say a word. If anyone has a mouth from me, there will definitely be a mouth from him."
Jia Cong said: "Moreover, if you are resentful of this child's mother, this child will definitely be bullied by other children in the village. You can always control the adults, but you cannot control the children."
The patriarch said: "There is nothing we can do about this. It is inevitable that he will be repaid for the sins his mother has done."
Jia Cong said: "Wouldn't it be better to let him leave your village and go to a place where no one knows? King Yan is ordering people to build a compulsory education school. This child can also study and have a promising future."
The patriarch sneered: "How can you expect to have any future with such a shameless and disrespectful mother?"
Jia Cong shrugged and said, "This shameless and disrespectful mother will not starve him."
Someone shouted below: "Chief, don't talk nonsense with them. Anyway, they won't be able to leave if we don't leave the golden root behind today."
The old woman also came out and said: "Young masters, Jin Gen is named Zhao after all, and Zhaojiacun is his root."
Jia Cong tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said: "Then let's do this. Let Jin Gen change his surname to follow his mother's surname, that's all." Then he turned around and asked, "That girl Manman, what's your surname?"
Manman was hugging her son tightly and hiding behind Shi Li. After hearing this, she whispered: "My surname is Sun."
"Okay." Jia Cong said, "Let Jin Gen change her surname to Sun so that she has nothing to do with your Zhao family. Even if her mother has a bad reputation, she has nothing to do with your Zhao family. Wouldn't it be good?"
Of course it's not good! All the villagers roared. The old woman raised her crutches: "Shut up -" As expected, everyone shut up. The old woman took two steps forward and walked to Jia Cong and said
, "This young master, although her mother made mistakes, her crimes are not as bad as those of Jin Gen. I, Mrs. Zhao, will not sin against him again."
Jia Cong said: "Old man, there are so many people in your village. You and the patriarch can control the front, but how can you control the back? As I said just now, it is inevitable for children to bully him, and it is inevitable for women to say nasty things.
Yes, there are even older teenagers who will beat and scold him to vent his anger. No matter what his surname is, it will be good for him to leave here. As for his mother - since she is willing to work hard to raise her son, her son is more important to her than anything else, and she will not take him lightly.
his."
The old woman shook her head and said: "It doesn't matter. He is a man. We can divorce the wife for her husband. Jin Gen is from the Zhao family. When he grows up, he will understand the truth. He has
Naturally, others will not bully him anymore."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Look, there is a generation gap. When you grow up, you will understand the truth. Understand what truth? He understands that his mother is guilty, and the clan does not despise his life experience and raised him. He should be grateful to the clan?
Furthermore, when will he have to wait until he has the ability? Let’s say at least seventeen or eighteen years old. He is only four or five years old, and it will take more than ten years until he is seventeen or eighteen years old. Will these ten years be forced to be bullied?
?If he doesn’t have any great abilities in the future, will he be bullied for the rest of his life? No matter whether Jin Gen is a boy or a girl, he is a human being, not a thing. When he is born, he is human and not his parents’ possession.
, nor is it a thing of your clan. Naturally, you will not agree with what I say. No problem, who cares whether you agree or not. We can take him away today, and you have no ability to stop him."
The old patriarch shouted: "If you want to take the golden root away, step on my old man's body!"
Jia Cong asked curiously: "Why do we have to step on your old corpse? Can't we just fly over? Xiao Qi, do me a favor and fly over with the golden root, okay?"
Liu Xiaoqi reached out to Manman to ask for the child; Manman did not dare to give it to him, but hugged the child tighter. Liu Xiaoqi also patted her twice on the arm somewhere, and Manman couldn't help letting go; Liu Xiaoqi hugged her
The child stepped over several big trees, as if he were flying, and bypassed the villagers outside in the blink of an eye. Everyone was dumbfounded!
Jia Cong then said to the clan leader: "In the future, when this child grows up, understands things, and has the ability, if he is still willing to return to the village, he will naturally come back. He will make his own decision."
The patriarch was stunned for a long time, and gradually understood: they could not stop these three people. He said bitterly: "His surname must be Zhao after all."
Jia Cong said: "It doesn't matter if he wants to be named Zhao or Sun, even if he doesn't want his last name."
The old woman refused to give up and said: "When he is in the clan, he always has a bite to eat; when he goes outside, no one will bully him?"
Jia Cong said: "If you can hide your identity, it may not be possible, but in this village, it is definitely possible. The future is full of variables, and everything depends on man-made efforts."
The old woman said: "He is in the village. My old lady is teaching him personally and will not let him learn bad things. If he follows that woman, I am afraid he may not grow up to be a good person."
Jia Cong looked at them and said: "I want to ask these two old men. If we hadn't come today and his mother Shen Tang had died, what would have happened to this child? Will your village still teach him well? To put it bluntly, we are not the same people.
Are we competing?" The old woman was speechless for a moment. Jia Cong said, "As soon as this incident comes out, even if he is raised in a health care hall, it will be better than in the village." He cupped his hands and said, "Let's do that."
A man came out from the crowd and said to the patriarch: "There is really no other way now. Life and death are fateful, so let him go."
Shi Li then stepped forward, smiled and clasped his fists, saying, "Thank you very much." Then he untied the reins and got on the horse.
Jia Cong and the woman leading the way also mounted their horses, and Manman rode the same horse as the woman. Shi Li took the reins of Liu Xiaoqi's horse and whistled. The man just now persuaded the villagers who were blocking the way, but neither the patriarch nor the old woman stopped him.
Jia Cong hugged the man and said, "Thank you." The man nodded to him. Several people urged the horse to go out of the village. Liu Xiaoqi jumped on the horse with the child in his arms, and the group walked away smoothly.
.
Returning to the dark brothel, the madam and others were relieved to see them and thanked the gods and Buddhas for a long time. The child named Jin Gen hugged Liu Xiaoqi and refused to let go; Liu Xiaoqi was not good at dealing with children and was a little at a loss.
In the end, Manman coaxed the child away for a long time, while Jia Congshili laughed for a long time.
Liu Xiaoqi wiped his sweat and looked at Jia Cong: "I've heard for a long time that Mr. Jia is eloquent, but now I can see him."
Jia Cong said: "After all, there are few things that are reasonable for one family. Most of them have their own reasons. In fact, what the old woman said is also reasonable, but she can't beat us. Isn't it easy for the winner to find reasons? You are in the palace
How many palace maids and eunuchs have died, and how many of them are not unjust?"
Liu Xiaoqi sighed: "When I first came out of the palace, everything outside the palace was different from the inside. Now that I've been running around, the outside looks pretty much the same."
"That's different." Jia Cong said, "Can you be lazy in the palace? No. Someone should be watching everything."
Before Liu Xiaoqi could answer, Manman had already come over to thank him. Liu Xiaoqi pointed at Shi Li and said, "Just thank him. I'm just joining in the fun."
Jia Cong also pointed at Shi Li: "Just thank him, we are both just joining in the fun."
Manman shed tears and said, "I'm afraid people from the Japanese tribe will come to find fault with us."
Shi Li turned around and asked the old bustard: "Who is in charge now in the west of the city?"
The old madam smiled bitterly and said: "Since shopkeeper Qin San left, the west of the city has not been peaceful and no one obeys anyone. I guess it is Mr. Li who makes the decision. Everyone will still look at shopkeeper Qin San to some extent."
"Then you still have to find a backer. Otherwise, how can you deal with someone who is looking for trouble." Shi Li said, "In that case, it's okay to rely on Li Sheng. After all, he still relies on King Yan."
The old bustard was shocked: "King Yan?!"
Shi Li nodded: "In short, I am more confident than others." The old bustard quickly thanked him and said that he would go to see Li Sheng.
It was not convenient for Jia Cong to stay out for a long time, so he went back home first. Shi Li accompanied Liu Xiaoqi to wait and tell some stories about the green forest today, which was different from the commentary and was also very interesting.
Tonight, Mr. Xiong finally came. Shi and Liu looked for him and asked. On the day Mr. Gao disappeared, it was a prince who had recently come to Yuntai Academy to study. He invited everyone to have a drink. Mr. Gao also
Among them. But there were so many people that day that he and Mr. Gao didn’t recognize each other, and they only knew his surname was Gao. Shi Li asked him for a list of people who came to have a drink that day and handed it to Liu Xiaoqi: "Tomorrow, one by one.
Ask." Liu Xiaoqi has been out for several days, and today she is waiting for the rabbit, so she took the list and went home.
That night, Liu Xiaoqi saw his grandfather return to his house. He still had a book of commentaries hidden in his arms, so he took it out and read it with a candle. But his brother came to see him. When he saw it, he asked: "Look
What? Are you still unable to pass the exam?"
Liu Xiaoqi stood up and gave up his seat: "It's just a comment. It's the story of Green Forest. It's really interesting!"
When his brother heard about it, he took it in his hand and turned it over. Liu Xiaoqi had already finished reading it, so he was not in a hurry. His brother picked it up and couldn't put it down. Liu Xiaoqi had no choice but to go outside to practice the exercises. After he finished practicing,
His brother hadn’t finished reading yet! He had to chase him away: “Brother, I’m going to take a rest.”
"This comment..."
"Just take it back and look at it."
His brother took the book away without saying a word, and came to him the next day to ask for the next volume. Liu Xiaoqi said: "This originally belonged to my friend. I went to their house to get it later."
"Hurry up!"
Liu Xiaoqi then went to Shi Li to get some Green Forest Commentary. Because the family had just moved out of the palace not long ago, his grandfather had many things to do and did not have the energy to care about whether the children read or not. In a few days, various comments were spread.
The whole house was in trouble. This is a story for another day. However, there is still no news about Mr. Gao. Liu Xiaoqi asked everyone who was with him that day, and they all said that it was just an ordinary drinking party, nothing unusual. He had to start the investigation again.
.
Since Situ Pan ordered the Hanlin Academy to start a compulsory education school, Jia Cong went to the Hanlin Academy every day. On this day, the first batch of cowpox experimental vaccinations in Taiyuan Hospital were completed, and the special envoy called Jia Cong to come over and have a look. Jia Cong
I really felt confident and was very busy, so I didn't want to go. I couldn't stand the cute little doctor who came to report the news with his bright eyes, so I finally dropped what I was doing and let it go. I entered the hospital and talked to the doctors.
If you compliment each other, everyone will laugh. Jia Cong has been here before, can you leave? Then he said hello to the people sent by Situ Pan and said goodbye.
At that moment, the man returned to Prince Yan's Mansion and reported what he had just seen. Situ Pan was naturally very happy. But he suddenly said: "It's just that someone said just now that everyone on the street knows that it is Mr. Jia's recipe."
Situ Pan frowned: "How do people outside know?" All the staff looked at each other.
Another staff member asked: "Did Mr. Jia say anything?"
The man said: "Mr. Jia was shocked and said, 'Who told you! Why is there such a long tongue!'" Doctor Lin smiled and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Jia." Mr. Jia stumbled and said, "Congratulations! I was messing around outside."
The reputation is annoying enough.' He sighed and said, 'That's all, there are too many lice and it doesn't itch.' Because he was in a hurry to go back to the Hanlin Academy, he only sat down briefly and then left."
Feng Ziying couldn't help laughing at first: "What a bullshit metaphor!"
Another aide said: "I'm afraid I have to go check it out. This is a secret, and no one will know it for nothing." The day before yesterday, they were planning to come up with a story about an immortal passing down a recipe to King Yan to save the world. In this way,
, this matter cannot be arranged.
The man who went to the Imperial Hospital to check it out hurriedly said: "No need. Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Lin later said that his granddaughter had mentioned it when she was gossiping with others. This matter concerns the people, so it is better to spread it faster."
Situ Pan frowned: "His granddaughter?"
"The granddaughter of Imperial Physician Lin was originally a female official in the palace. A few days ago, she was released from the palace with the grace of the Empress Dowager and lived in Mr. Jia's courtyard in Rongguo Mansion for a few days. Now she has opened a small embroidery workshop outside to live her life."
Situ Pan immediately understood that the mirror-grinding girl Lin who the Empress Dowager gave to Jia Huan that day was the granddaughter of Imperial Physician Lin. He quickly turned to look at Feng Ziying. Feng Ziying said: "I never heard Cong'er say that. It's better to call him
Come and ask." Situ Pan nodded and ordered someone to call Jia Cong.
Boss Jia Cong was not happy, so he hurried to Prince Yan's Mansion, entered and saluted Situ Pan, and complained: "I'm busy."
Situ Pan said: "So many things can't be rushed at once. I just want to ask you, what's going on with Dr. Lin's granddaughter?"
Jia Cong was stunned: "Who? I don't know him."
Feng Ziying said: "I was told that I stayed at your house for a while."
Jia Cong suddenly remembered: "Lin Luan! She is the granddaughter of Imperial Physician Lin? Yes, she said it. I didn't think of her and Imperial Physician Lin together. Alas, they don't look alike.
.What happened to her?"
Feng Ziying was dumbfounded: "Isn't she a mirror grinder?"
"Yes!" Jia Cong said, "Our family gave her and her sister Yunxi a house and a shop, so that they can be together for a hundred years... Well, let's live a quiet life. We can't wait for the third ring.
When my sister-in-law comes back, the two of her will still be there, it’s so embarrassing."
Feng Ziying said: "She spread the word that the cowpox prescription is yours."
Jia Cong frowned and said, "What does she want to do?"
Feng Ziying said: "Either she wants to thank you, or...she may not really be polishing the mirror."
Jia Cong was startled, and immediately trembled: "That's right...she is the woman who gave it to Brother Huan."
One of Situ Pan's counselors said with a smile: "Perhaps this woman has fallen in love with Mr. Jia and wants to accept her?"
"No!" Jia Cong said, "I already have my heart set on my late life."
Situ Pan said with a smile: "If she takes you seriously, there is no problem in accepting one of her."
Jia Cong waved his hands repeatedly: "If I accept her today, do I want to accept someone else tomorrow? I'm not a fan. Whoever likes me has to sleep with her?"
Before she finished speaking, Feng Ziying shouted: "Nonsense!" Everyone burst into laughter. (.. )
