That evening, Jia Lian, the prefect of Taiwan, held a banquet to greet Situ Cen Wei Ruoheng. He was embarrassed to leave Chen Ruiwen, so he also invited him. Since the banquet was held at Jia Lian's private residence, the prefect's Yamen sent a car to pick him up. Wei Ruoheng, his wife and children
They were sitting together in a large four-wheeled carriage, and Chen Ruiwen was sitting in another small one. The curtain on the carriage was originally hung, but the four of them didn't put it down, and they looked at the night scene outside all the way.
There are public oil lamps on the night roads of Dajiala. The petal-shaped copper plate holds seven to sixteen wicks, which are covered by a large glass cover. The top is a shiny umbrella-shaped steel cover, which blocks rain and reflects light.
.Although it is not as good as the electric lights of later generations, it is much better than nothing. Many shops are also open at night, and the colorful glass lights illuminate it like a sky street. There are "traffic officers" who direct the carriages and horses on each road.
Soldiers on patrol with guns on their backs could be seen. Chen Ruiwen then realized that during the day, he went to some school to find Chen Ruijin. The clothes worn by the disciple who beat him were very similar to those of these soldiers.
When the carriage encountered a red flag, Chen Ruiwen asked the coachman: "The clothes of these military officers patrolling the streets are very strange."
The driver said: "Mr. Chen is a foreigner, I don't know. They are not soldiers, they are armed police."
Chen Ruiwen was stunned: "What armed police?"
"It's the armed police." The coachman said, "The army is to deal with foreign enemies, and the armed police is to deal with lawless people." Seeing that Chen Ruiwen You didn't understand, he explained, "The army is soldiers, fighting Japanese pirates and Westerners; the armed police are like policemen.
, fight robbers and catch thieves." Chen Ruiwen suddenly understood why he was getting punched - the armed police school is actually a school for police officers, teaching police officers... No wonder the discipline is so powerful.
Not long after they arrived at the place, a few people took a look. The lights on all sides were as bright as day. The whole big house was built in a novel way that they had never seen before. The female relatives of wealthy families in other places all got off the car in the backyard. It was obvious that Da Jiala was not taboo about this.
There were also women and children getting out of another carriage in the distance. Chen Ruiwen walked up to Wei Ruoheng and said a few words, and another carriage came. This carriage was two times larger than the ordinary carriage, and it was gorgeous and tight.
, two bright car lights were hung in front of the car, Wei Chen and others turned around to take a look.
I saw the car curtain lifted, and a woman walked out, wearing a pomegranate red waistcoat, a Zhaojun suit, and goose-yellow clothes. She looked really good-looking. Looking at her appearance again - Chen Ruiwen's eyes widened! He looked so beautiful
I have seen a lot of beauties in my life, but I have never seen such a dazzling one. This woman did not have a maid or a woman with her. She turned around and gave instructions to the coachman a few times, and walked forward with her head held high. Until she had passed six or seven steps to go to Chen.
Only then did Raven realize that four armed soldiers had gotten off her carriage, and they were following her right now.
Suddenly, someone called out "Brother Wei". Wei Ruoheng looked up and saw Situ Cen, still wearing Western clothes, walking over with a smile and asked, "Who was this woman just now?"
Wei Ruoheng said: "How do I know? Look at this posture, it looks like a family member of some general."
Situ Cen said enviously: "I have lived for more than 20 years, and I have seen Chinese beauties, Western beauties, and Persian beauties. I have never seen such a dazzling one."
Chen Ruiwen asked the coachman who brought them here: "Master, do you know who the lady is?"
He asked casually, thinking that such a noble lady might not be recognized by the servants. Unexpectedly, the coachman said: "Didn't you see the guard following you? That is our military advisor Lin Daiyu."
"What?!" the three men exclaimed in unison.
Situ Cen pointed at the woman's back and said in disbelief: "Is she Lin Daiyu?"
The coachman asked curiously: "Who is she?"
After a long while, Situ Cen clicked his tongue and said: "Sure enough, the country is beautiful. No wonder my cousin wants to marry her." However, Wei Ruoheng couldn't help but quietly looked back at his wife and thought to himself: So that is the official book of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling.
First of all, it is beautiful, but it is too eye-catching.
At this moment, the leader came over and led them towards the gate. After walking a few steps, they met Jia Cong who had just arrived. A few people gathered together and talked while walking. Jia Congte teased Yuanyuan and talked.
Son.
Situ Cen mentioned Lin Daiyu again: "I can't believe that Mr. Lin, such a dignified scholar, has raised a daughter who is so spirited."
Jia Cong glanced sideways at him: "Acen, why do you have such a sour tone?"
Situ Cen crossed his hands: "Why am I feeling sour?"
"Don't you envy other people's wives for their beauty? You're single." Jia Cong rolled his eyes.
Situ Cen smiled and said: "She is really beautiful. If I had known that Miss Lin was so beautiful, I would have snatched her away."
Jia Cong said scornfully: "You say it again?"
Wei Ruoheng laughed: "Grab? Have you weighed your own wealth?"
Situ Cen hurriedly said: "Is it okay if I said something wrong? It's not a robbery, it's a betrothal. After all, I'm not the heir apparent, so Mr. Lin doesn't need to avoid suspicion."
Jia Cong stopped and looked him up and down five or six times, and asked curiously: "What do you think you can do to hire my cousin, her face?"
Situ Cen said confidently: "If I wanted to, wouldn't I be better than Jarvis?"
"Huh?" Jia Cong tugged on his ear, "What did you say?" He looked at Wei Ruoheng again, "What did he say?"
Chen Ruiwen said with emotion: "This Miss Lin is really a pity. With such an identity and such a demeanor. If I didn't dare to marry the second prince back then, why would the eldest brother be too old to marry? Although General Jia is famous all over the world, after all,
He is from a business background." Yibi said, his eyes twinkling.
Jia Cong sneered: "Mr. Chen, if you stay at the bottom of the well all the time, you will have to guard the mouth of the well for the rest of your life."
Before she finished speaking, Yuanyuan puffed out her chest and said, "I know! What Uncle Cong said is the idiom of sitting in a well and looking at the sky!"
Jia Cong clapped his hands: "Yuanyuan is great! Has Yuanyuan ever learned to sit in a well and look at the sky?"
Yuanyuan nodded: "Today I saw a jade in the museum. The uncle of the guide told a story about sitting in a well and looking at the sky!"
"Wow~~" Jia Cong gave a thumbs up, "I'll remember it after listening to it once, Yuanyuan is so smart!" Children loved hearing praises, and Yuanyuan smiled like a little sunflower.
Jia Cong touched his little head, turned back to Situ Cen and said, "The most rare thing about Sister Lin is her bearing. When it comes to appearance, there is no shortage of beauties in the world. Have you ever seen another one with her bearing?"
Situ Cen immediately said: "Really not."
"The magnanimity, to be honest, it still needs to be praised. The moon is praised by the stars." Jia Cong said, "The magnanimity praised by women, the magnanimity praised by men, and the magnanimity praised by soldiers are completely different. Yours
Cousin King Chen, or yourself, who among you is willing to let her join the military camp?"
Situ Cen thought for a while: "That's right. I will never let my daughter-in-law join the military camp as a military advisor."
"Are you willing to let your son take her last name?"
Situ Cen was stunned: "What?"
"My senior brother agreed to let his eldest son's surname be Lin, so my uncle was willing to marry his daughter to him." Jia Cong hummed, "Are you willing?"
Situ Cen opened his mouth, and after a while he said, "Isn't this my son-in-law?" He recalled Lin Daiyu's appearance and sighed, "It's not surprising for a woman like that. Anyone else would probably agree to anything."
"You obviously don't want to do it?"
"How can I, with my status, allow my eldest son to have the same surname as his father-in-law?"
Jia Cong shrugged: "So, I don't know how many people in Taiwan admire Military Advisor Lin, and only one can marry her. Do you think anyone has that blessing? It's just the daydream of Dong Yong's seven fairies.
"
Situ Cen pursed his lips and said, "I just said it casually." Nai paused, "I heard that Jarvis is going to North America with King Yan's army? Is this Military Advisor Lin going?"
Jia Cong asked curiously: "What reason do you think she has for not going?" Situ Cen tilted his head and said nothing.
While they were talking, several people had already entered the hall. Inside, they saw flaming trees and beautiful flowers, golden windows and jade sills, lights everywhere, music and music, and various rare and rare treasures from unknown countries.
There were many guests in the house, and Lin Daiyu was talking to a woman wearing pine-colored clothes. Wei Ruoheng looked around for a while and saw the woman in red who was cursing people in the government building during the day. She thought she was very
I like red, so I still wear carmine.
Jia Cong looked back at Zhen Yinglian and winked at Wei Ruoheng: "How about we let Sister-in-law Wei get acquainted with my cousin Lin? Please invite Sister Jinjiang to come over and let the three of them take a photo."
Wei Ruoheng was stunned: "Take a photo?"
Yuanyuan cheered: "Is there a camera?"
Jia Cong nodded vigorously: "Yes! There is a camera!"
Yuanyuan shouted hurriedly: "I want to take pictures too!"
"Okay~~ I'll take a picture of Yuanyuan later too!" Jia Cong said with a smile, "How about letting Yuanyuan's mother take a picture with the two aunts first?"
Yuanyuan raised her little face and looked at his mother, and said generously: "Okay!"
Jia Cong looked at Wei Ruoheng again. Wei Ruoheng really didn't know what taking a picture was, and was embarrassed to say it in front of his son, so he had to ask Zhen Yinglian. Zhen Yinglian obviously knew about it and said happily: "I just heard someone say in the museum that a camera
There aren't many now." Wei Ruoheng knew that she also wanted to "take a photo" and nodded to Jia Cong.
Jia Cong then led Wei Ruoheng's family towards Lin Daiyu. Chen Ruiwen hesitated for a moment, and when he saw Situ Cen picked up his feet and followed behind, he shamelessly followed. Jia Cong did not give them any face, and only introduced Wei Ruoheng
The family was acquainted with Lin Daiyu, and they bothered a young man passing by to invite Jia Jinjiang and ask for a photographer. Daiyu and Jinjiang didn't even know why he took a group photo with the three of them, but the look on Zhen Yinglian's husband's face clearly showed that he was
She knew the reason. They looked at each other and thought about asking later.
Zhen Yinglian has a quiet temperament. She is wearing a moon-white robe today. Standing next to her two red and yellow ones, she looks even more gentle and charming. Jia Cong couldn't help but whisper: "How can I see these three ordinary people in my lifetime?"
The photo taken with An An is such a sense of accomplishment. My trip was not in vain."
Wei Ruoheng looked at him and whispered: "Should they be unsafe?"
Jia Cong lowered his voice even more and sighed: "Each of them had a harder life than the other, and each of them had a shorter life than the other."
Wei Ruoheng glanced at him again: "Don't you have a background?"
"Haven't you heard of transitional tribulation?"
Wei Ruoheng also sighed softly, and after a while he said: "Thank you for saving her life." Then he looked at the two beautiful women, and said sadly, "If she hadn't become my wife, wouldn't she
Can you also work outside?"
Jia Cong said: "Everyone has his own ambitions. Those who like to lead thousands of armies lead thousands of armies, and those who like to be in charge of the family are in charge of the family. Isn't it great to be able to teach Yuanyuan to adults? By the way, let him come to us when Yuanyuan is half-grown.
Let's study in Dajiala. As the saying goes, it is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books. How much effort does it take to travel ten thousand miles? Dajiala brings together cultures from all over the world. The museum is also planning to open foreign exhibition halls in the future, and the school is also the best in the world.
Studying here is equivalent to traveling thousands of miles."
Wei Ruoheng nodded and said, "I realized something after coming out of your museum."
While they were talking, the three principal hairpins, deputy hairpins, and top hairpins had already taken several photos. Yuanyuan was clamoring for a photo with her parents, and Jia Cong pushed Wei Ruoheng out. Situ Cen was very curious about the camera and looked around.
half day.
Chen Ruiwen looked around and couldn't find Chen Ruijin, so he quietly sneaked up to Jia Cong and asked, "Mr. Jia, will my fourth sister come?"
Jia Cong glanced at him and said, "Why, are you still thinking about getting some benefits from your relatives?"
Chen Ruiwen whispered: "After all, we are a biological family."
Jia Cong sneered: "If your family wants to recognize her, what benefits can you give her? Anyway, I said it first, it is impossible to get benefits from her. You have to think about it. If you recognize this girl, you will have no money, and you will have to
Give money out there.”
Chen Ruiwen froze: "Since we are a family, we must take care of each other."
Jia Cong clapped his hands and said: "It's so good to take care of each other. May I ask what the Chen family has taken care of her for? How old was she when she entered the palace? She was not even raised by your Chen family."
Chen Ruiwen said anxiously: "Isn't that a good thing? How many people want to enter the palace but can't. Besides, what was Concubine Hui's status back then? When her subordinates come to ask for it, how dare our palace refuse to give it to them?"
Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "A eunuch under a low-ranking concubine goes to the Duke's Palace to ask for the eldest daughter of his eldest son, and he dare not refuse to give it! You, the Qi State Palace, are so prosperous, I really can't find anyone more slave-like.
I'm a slave." He turned away and ignored him.
Chen Ruiwen stumbled, racking his brains to think of how to talk to Jia Cong, when he suddenly looked up and saw a woman walking across the street. Her features were clear and dignified. It was his sister Chen Ruijin. Chen Ruijin also wore a moon-white outfit, and her whole body was elegant.
She was completely different from Zhen Yinglian, but somewhat heroic, but a little more restrained than Lin Daiyu. Jia Cong suddenly smiled and said to Wei Ruoheng: "Your wife is a pearl, and my wife is a diamond!" He jumped up and greeted her!
Go up.
The two of them were holding hands and talking as if there was no one around. Situ Cen couldn't help but quietly asked Wei Ruoheng: "Old Wei, is that Jia Cong's wife?"
Wei Ruoheng said inexplicably: "You still need to ask? Isn't this obvious?"
"Tsk, tsk." Situ Cen sighed, "How did their family get so many dazzling women? I'm so envious." Then he looked around and said, "Look at the women in this room, all of them are so dazzling. I am in a Western capital.
Never seen anything like this.”
Wei Ruoheng teased: "Marry one. Judging from the buns, there are quite a few who haven't gotten married yet."
Situ Cen shook his head: "If you can't marry me, I won't be willing to marry you." He sighed, "No matter how hard Shu country can let a woman show up and work with a man, let alone me or the prince." He looked around Huizi again.
, "Only their Taiwan government."
Wei Ruoheng suddenly figured out something and shouted in a low voice: "Lin Daiyu will follow Jarvis to North America in two months."
"Huh? I know."
"Sooner or later, women in North America will follow her and show up."
