There was a girl in the Cui family who shouted that she wanted to go to the Yan Kingdom because she did not want the marriage arranged in the family. Suddenly, there was a scolding in the Cui family. Jia Cong smiled and said to Shen Zhimo: "Zhimo, do you know what is the weakest thing to say in the world?"
Shen Zhimo suppressed a smile and said, "Please give me some advice."
"Swearing." Jia Cong said, "Swearing means that I can't do anything to you. I can only scold you to vent your anger." He looked at the others and said, "There is one more thing I need to remind you. Chu State
It is not the same thing as Yan State. It is impossible for Qi State to have the ability to capture people from Yan State, because Yan State is much stronger than Qi State. It is hard to say about Chu State. After all, they are only a small country as big as a palm now. In the year of King Chu
I just sold the palace of his ancestors in the capital."
Everyone was shocked: "What?!"
Jia Cong shrugged: "Literally."
It turns out that the current King of Chu is the direct grandson of the first King of Chu. His brother was born in the capital, but he himself was born in the Chu Kingdom. He has only been to the capital once since he was born, last year. This young man’s life
When Ping moved into his grandfather's mansion for the first time, he found that it was too big. It cost a lot of money to maintain the palace every year. It was a pity that such a big place was left idle, but he couldn't come and live there often.
When I was out wandering around, I happened to meet a family that was moving and it was very lively. After asking around, I found out that it was Mr. Wu Tianyou who bought the mansion of Xianzhi Guofu. The palace of the Prince of Xining County was ransacked in the early years, and the Prince of Nan'an County, Huo Sheng, was two years ago.
The mansion was sold in the year. Ning Guofu was sent to South America, the Shi family of Guofu was repaired, and the Hou family of Xiu Guofu also left Beijing to sell their houses. In addition, the Ma family of Zhiguofu was added to the list. So far, only half of the four princes and eight princes are left in the capital. In addition,
Several other houses have been moved out, some of which were forced to sell because they were unable to repay debts.
The King of Chu sighed for a long time, and then inquired about the housing prices in the capital. He was shocked: This palace is so valuable! Two months ago, the Yan Kingdom's court published an article in the Yanjing Weekly, saying that housing prices were rising too fast and must be suppressed. Chu
The king then thought that he might as well take advantage of this moment to sell it at a good price, so he casually discussed it with the special envoy staying in the capital. The envoy jumped up and objected, dragging a large cart from the ancestors to the common people. The King of Chu didn't pay attention at first, but
A clerk next to the special envoy whispered back. It turned out that the special envoy often entertained guests at the palace and even arranged for his husband to have a meal. If he sold it, he would have nowhere to show off. The King of Chu was furious and ordered the house to be sold.
After hearing this, the Cui family was silent for a long time, looking at each other. Someone asked: "Who bought the palace?"
Jia Cong said: "The great merchant Xue Pan."
Someone immediately said: "But the one who is married to an actor?"
"Yes. Liu Aiyun and the Liu family." Jia Cong said, "He is a fan of his all over the capital. It was he who arranged the scene of Meng's mother moving three times."
"This..." An old woman stumbled, "It's unreasonable for an actor to enter the prince's palace!"
Jia Cong shrugged: "The palace was sold by the King of Chu himself. The Xue family bought it with money. It's fair and square. What's wrong with it?"
The old woman yelled: "You are unworthy of your descendants!"
Jia Cong grinned and said with a fake smile: "The King of Chu took over the Chu State at a young age, and his rule was peaceful and prosperous. He is more responsible than his brother who escaped from marriage."
After a long while, the young man from the Cui family smiled bitterly and said: "The way is not feasible."
Jia Cong said calmly: "If the way is not feasible, what should we do? Just stare? Shouldn't we set up a school to make the people aware of it? Should we spread green forest stickers to protect the wanted criminals in the country?" Everyone in the Cui family was speechless. Jia Cong looked at them for a moment.
Son, "Everyone, I saved you because although the criminals are your family members, you yourself did not commit the crime and are innocent. The fact that you were saved is because in my world view, everyone is independent. If someone mistakenly
They thought I came to the rescue because of the reputation of the Cui family in Qinghe, but I now clarify: it is not for this reason."
Another young man said hurriedly: "Thank you, sir! None of us have official positions, so this matter has nothing to do with us."
Jia Cong's lips twitched: "You also agree that everyone is independent and that the crimes committed by family members have nothing to do with others?"
The man was stunned. Jia Cong looked at him and waited for a reply, and no one else said anything. For a long time, the man had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "...Yes."
Jia Cong nodded: "If you say 'no', I will send you back right now. The officers and soldiers of Qi have not left yet." The man had guessed what he was going to say next and lowered his head. Jia Cong looked at it.
Everyone in the Cui family glanced at each other and said, "When my family commits crimes, they hope not to be implicated, so why do you force the children to agree to a marriage they don't like?"
The young man smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, you have misunderstood. That is a really good marriage. My husband is a virtuous and talented man, and his family is well off."
Jia Cong raised his eyebrows and asked Shen Zhimo with a smile: "What kind of husband does Zhimo want to find in the future?"
Shen Zhimo puffed up his cheeks: "I don't know, I haven't met him yet."
"Do you always have a rough idea?"
Shen Zhimo thought for a while: "Handsome."
Jia Cong smiled and asked the young man: "How does the husband you have chosen for her look like?" The young man pursed his lips and said nothing.
The woman who just called "Second Girl" said: "What matters to a man is his talent and learning, what's so important about his appearance?"
Jia Cong asked: "Is there anything this aunt doesn't like to eat?"
The woman was stunned for a moment: "Yes."
"What don't you like to eat?"
The woman said in a daze: "What do I... have to do with you?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't say it." Jia Cong said, "You think looks don't matter, but girls think looks do. It's just like if you don't like to eat a certain snack, others like it. This Miss Cui Er is still young, so she can do it.
Choose a husband who is both talented and beautiful. Even if you choose a genius for her, she is not that man’s boss, so why should she care so much about learning?”
Miss Cui Er muttered: "Not only is she ugly, she is also old."
The young man winked anxiously: "Second sister, your husband is an extremely rare sage, and he will surely have great achievements in the future."
Shen Zhimo said: "She is a girl looking for a husband, not a lord looking for a talented person. Whether he is talented or not is not the most important thing at all. Is it possible that there are no students who are seventeen or eighteen years old who are both good in character and academics and are promising in the future?"
Liu Xiaoqi asked: "How old are you?" The young man was silent again.
Miss Cui Er said with tears in her eyes: "I'm over forty..."
"What is your current official position?"
The young man said awkwardly: "Qi State has no good ruler, so I live in seclusion under the forest for the time being." The people of Yan State were stunned.
Jia Cong immediately said: "Then I dare say it is difficult for him to have a big future. Since ancient times, there have been many talented people but no ambition. Now is not the time when Jiang Ziya could not find a few scholars in the whole country. Talents are everywhere.
No lord visits the wise every day. Also, if he wants to wait for the Qi State to produce a useful prince and grandson to worship the prime minister, he may have to wait for how many years. Can the Qi State be saved at that time? The Lu State is not a free man.
"This time, the Cui family was stunned.
Shen Zhimo smiled and clapped his hands: "Okay, everyone, let's discuss and decide. Those who want to go to Yan with us can leave now, and those who want to go to Chu or other countries should go our separate ways."
The young man glanced at his clansmen and said, "There is no need to discuss it. Let's go to the Yan Kingdom with you adults." He smiled and said, "Since the Yan Kingdom is stronger than the rest of the world, we have to see it with our own eyes."
Jia Cong nodded: "This is a smart person. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. In Yan State, you can't bully the mud-legged people, but the emperor's relatives can't bully you either."
Liu Xiaoqi whistled and waved her hand to lead the way. After passing through the forest path, a large black carriage stopped in front. Everyone in the Cui family was amazed. Shen Zhimo was originally riding a horse, but when he saw that Miss Cui was a little scared, he
He took her and got into a carriage first; several young girls followed closely. It was later found out that none of these girls wanted the marriage arranged by the family. At that time, everyone got on the carriage and the soldiers urged the horses to move forward.
Cong took the lead in singing the hero song again.
In the evening of that day, a group of people rushed to Zhending Mansion and checked into the post house. Yan Shenggong and his son had been waiting all day and were extremely anxious. They were relieved when they came back. The young man from the Cui family actually recognized Yan Shenggong.
He stepped forward and saluted. Jia Cong smiled and said, "I knew Mr. Kong would be anxious. Why are you anxious? I have completed tasks much more troublesome than this."
Jia Cong originally wanted to rest in Zhending Mansion for two days. The Cui family was very scared and discussed with him to come to Beijing as soon as possible. Their family still had some property. So they set off the next day. Before leaving, Jia Cong sent a telegram to the capital.
.
There was no conversation on the way. That night, Liu Xiaoqi said that he would arrive in the capital the next day. Jia Cong said: "Speaking of which, if Qi State sends people to guard outside your shop, they can secretly catch a few of them without warning.
There is nothing the Yan State can do if you leave alone. I suggest you stay in an inn first, and then contact your shopkeeper after confirming that there is no danger. After all, you are all fugitive prisoners now."
Duke Yan Sheng believed in Jia Cong very much and said: "It makes sense, it is better to be cautious."
Everyone in the Cui family deliberated for a while and agreed.
Entering Beijing the next morning, Duke Yan Sheng was riding on his horse and praised: "Everyone has a smile on their face, which means they are rich."
Jia Cong was slightly proud, and said with cupped hands: "Thank you for the compliment, this is the joint efforts of everyone." He then escorted the Kong family and his son to the inn, and Liu Xiaoqi led the people to take the Cui family to find the inn.
It was March in spring, and there were many merchants in the capital. They found five inns, some were full, and some only had a few houses or a small courtyard. They were determined not to accommodate more than 200 people. Liu Xiaoqi said
: "In a few days, there will be a spring new product exhibition, and there will be a lot of tourists in Beijing. Or do this. You disperse the people. The elders will live in the better inns, and the younger ones will live in the worse ones. Otherwise, you won't be able to find one in a day.
Here." Everyone in the Cui family saw that they had no choice but to do this. The whole family was divided into about thirty inns to live in. Strangely enough, there was a school nearby the inn where the young people lived.
At the other end, Jia Cong led Yan Shenggong and his son, who had just settled down. Someone came in to deliver a message. Lin Hai was impatient and sent someone to inquire. Yan Shenggong smiled and said: "I will visit the boss tomorrow."
Jia Cong cupped his hands and said, "Have a good rest. I haven't been home for a while, and I miss my wife and children so much." Then he said goodbye and left.
All the way back to the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Cong had to go see his father first even if he wanted to have a wife. He came to the main room behind the Rongxi Hall and waved to the servant, then quietly walked to the door and opened the curtain. He only heard a "hu" sound.
, a ball hit him head-on. Jia Cong couldn't dodge and was hit in the head. There was a small figure in the room who was stunned for a moment and turned around and ran away.
Jia Cong covered his forehead and shouted: "Jia Dingbang, stop!" Jia Dingbang ignored him! These rooms are connected, and the little girl ran to the next door in the blink of an eye. Jia She laughed. Jia Cong gritted his teeth, "
I rushed back after all the hard work, only to be greeted by my own daughter’s balls and my own father’s ridicule. My life is so hard.” Jia She laughed louder and louder.
The two men sat down and talked for a while. Jia She didn't know what he was doing on this trip. He just asked briefly about the customs and customs of Qi State. He also ordered people to bring water and soap in for Jia Cong to wash.
He returned to the yard. "You can't help but hug my granddaughter when you go back. Your hands are full of germs from outside. Why don't you change your clothes too." He asked someone to pick up some of his new clothes and put them on for him.
Cong accepted the order with a smile.
Jia Cong hurried back to Lixiangyuan. The door of Chen Ruijin's room was open and there was no curtain. The sound of his daughter's chirping came from inside, as if she was talking about how she had just thrown a ball and hit her father in her grandfather's house. Jia Cong snorted.
: "Jia Dingbang, you still have the nerve to say it!" He stepped through the door.
Miaomiao uttered an "ouch" and hid behind Chen Ruijin. Chen Ruijin sat on the imperial concubine's couch with a smile, her belly a little bigger than before, and a large pillow behind her. Miaomiao lay between the pillow and her mother. Jia Cong
He stepped forward and kissed his wife. Miaomiao shouted: "Not suitable for children!"
Jia Cong sat next to his wife and reached out to pull her daughter into his arms. Miaomiao screamed. "You know you are a child and you know it is not suitable for children. You should close your eyes! You stinky girl, I just hit you."
, what should I say?”
Miaomiao pursed her lips: "Daddy, I'm sorry, Miaomiao didn't mean it."
Chen Ruijin smiled and said: "Knead it for your dad, and your dad won't be in pain anymore." Miao Miao did indeed stretch out her little paws and rub it, but in the wrong place.
Why did Jia Cong care about this? He nodded and said: "Well, it doesn't hurt anymore. Your father will forgive you this time, but you have to be more careful next time. It's okay for your father to be young. If you hit your grandfather, you will be in trouble."
Miaomiao immediately argued: "I wouldn't hit my grandfather! My grandfather asked me to hit the door curtain. Who knew my father would catch up with me?"
"Why did grandpa let you smash the door curtain?"
"Because he doesn't allow me to hit Duobaoge!"
Jia Cong was stunned: "Your grandfather is so reasonable, your father has no way to refute..."
Chen Ruijin pointed to the small case in front of him. There was a plate of ideas on the case, and the style was obviously from Jiuxiangzhai. Jia Cong took a piece and fed it to his wife. Miaomiao opened her mouth: "Ah——" Jia Cong also fed it to her.
One piece. I also ate a piece, nodded and said: "Sister-in-law, this snack is really well made."
Chen Ruijin said: "You came back just in time. There is a case that gives everyone a headache."
Jia Cong immediately drooped his eyebrows: "My wife, I have been away for more than a month! Can we think about official business tomorrow? Isn't there a political hall?"
"The political affairs hall is divided into two factions." Chen Ruijin said, "Each has its own reasons and refuses to give in to the other. Uncle Lin has lost his temper several times."
"Huh?" Jia Cong was so shocked that the snack fell out of his mouth, "Uncle Lin is angry? Who is he angry with? Why?"
“The gas field watchdog must enforce the law in accordance with the law.”
Jia Cong was stunned: "Uncle Lin is so angry that he wants to enforce the law according to the law? What crime did the prisoner commit?"
"It is justifiable to set up a private court to deal with people's lives." Chen Ruijin said, "He is an old patriarch of a family with a famous surname in the suburbs of Beijing."
Jia Cong waved his hand: "There are no extenuating circumstances. The power to execute prisoners can only belong to the court, and never to the common people. The execution power of the clan ends here and will never be returned to them."
