It was already the twelfth lunar month, and Li Wan began to attend to New Year affairs. On the day of reading at midnight, Jia Cong went to visit Yingchun and listened to her discussing with Tanchun the New Year's gifts for each government. Thinking of Gong Sanyi's words, he asked: "Chang'an
How are the Gao family related to our family?"
Tan Chunqi said: "You don't even know this? My grandfather's sister married into the Gao family and is still here today."
Jia Cong was startled: "You're still here? Isn't that a very long life?"
Tanchun said: "If I remember the post correctly, she will celebrate her seventieth birthday next year."
Jia Cong jumped up and said, "You won't be seventy until next year?"
Tanchun said: "That's right. Although life is rare in seventy years, we still have an ancestor in our family. Why should you be so surprised?"
Jia Cong faked a smile twice: "I have never met my grandfather, and I just thought that his sister must be very old, she turns out to be so young." After he finished speaking, he also laughed.
Yingchun smiled and said: "If the old lady knew that you said she was young, she would be very happy. Why do you ask their family so plainly?"
Jia Cong said: "I just suddenly remembered it. Since it is such an important birthday, will our family send someone to celebrate it? Second brother Lian?"
Yingchun said: "How can second brother have time? You guys also have to go to school. We have lost a lot of contact with their family over the years, so we can only send two reliable stewards."
Jia Cong thought for a while: "Second sister, please check the old accounts. When did our two families start to have less contact? Since my grandfather passed away, has the second wife been in charge of the family? Did my grandmother and my aunt not get along in the early years? Or is there some other reason?"
Yingchun asked: "Why are you checking this?"
Jia Cong said: "At first, I thought their family was just some kind of relatives from the outer eighth road. I didn't expect them to be so close. How could a good family become so far away inexplicably? I feel sorry for it. Besides, my grandfather lived a wise life, and our children and grandchildren are all the same."
Although I am somewhat helpless because I cannot enter the military camp, if I am far away from my great-aunt, I am afraid I will be ashamed of my grandfather."
Yingchun Tanchun couldn't help but ignore it, and Tanchun said: "It's because of helplessness? How can it be because of helplessness? Counting from the two gentlemen, except for you and Huan'er, the two younger ones, all the men in the house have already given up martial arts and embraced literature.
.”
Jia Cong twitched his lips: "Why did my father give up martial arts and become a literary scholar? He is obviously a military commander, okay? Although Kung Fu has not been practiced for many years, it has been neglected. The two sisters really don't understand why they are forced to have no choice? I only remind you one thing:
In the years since my grandfather passed away, the remaining power in the army is still very strong. That year I went to the dock to pick up Uncle Lin, and I met the wise king Situ Pan. I sincerely talked to him about my martial arts. I was learning martial arts. He actually told me not to slack off in my studies."
Yingchun wondered: "Isn't this a good thing?"
Jia Cong said: "I once heard Brother Feng sigh unintentionally. Nowadays, more and more generals are educated, but I don't know if there will be generals on the frontier in the future. Sister, if you are the Ninth Prince and the Holy One is your brother,
The two of you worked together to seize a great treasure from a group of brothers. In the early years, there was an invincible general in the court. He killed enemy soldiers in the southern and northern kingdoms and fled after hearing the news. However, one of his sons was not very useful, and the other was useless.
Li Wen. Suddenly there is his grandson. Although he is young, he is quite smart. You also like him a little. He said that he wants to learn martial arts. But at this moment, some people are worried that the government will be famine.
Come on. Will you encourage him to practice martial arts so that he can guard the border and defend his country like his grandfather in the future, or will you tell him not to slack off in his studies?"
Yingchun couldn't help being stunned, and after a long while she said: "I actually made you confused."
Tanchun was shocked: "You mean, the wise king wants you not to practice martial arts? Why is that? Doesn't he want anyone in our family to practice martial arts?"
Jia Cong nodded and said: "Grandpa has achieved some great achievements. Before his power dissipates, the Situ family probably does not want anyone from our Jia family to get involved in the military power."
His words alone shocked Yingchun and Tanchun. The word "Situ family" became even more shocking. They couldn't recover for a long time. They looked at each other in panic, and Tanchun said in a trembling voice: "Cong'er, what do you mean?
Explain it more clearly."
Jia Cong spread his hands and said, "What's so strange about this? Haven't you already read that a cup of wine releases military power? Anyway, Brother Huan and I are not planning to join the military. Wouldn't it be great if we take the imperial examination tomorrow?"
Yingchun closed her eyes and thought for a while, and said with a bit of trembling: "It turns out...the Heavenly Family's love for our family...is not as unparalleled as I heard every day."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "How can there be such an unparalleled holy favor? My grandfather is not the cpc of the old saint! Even if he is, the old saint has abdicated. This Rongguo Mansion is just to praise my grandfather for his great contributions in the southern and northern wars. Because of his merits
It's high, so it's just a lot of remuneration. The Tian family doesn't run a health care hall, how many generations do you want to be able to live off one person's merits? Now this is really worthy of us."
Yingchun Tanchun has been listening to the elders in the family since he was a child, how our family has been favored by God, and it has become a natural habit. In my heart, I have long regarded the saint Longen as "this is the way it is." I have never thought of this, and I am a bit confused.
measures.
Jia Cong deliberately grinned and said, "Is this difficult to accept? Isn't it natural?"
Yingchun said: "Then...will our family still be favored by a saint in the future?"
Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "Let's settle down for the past few years. After all, my grandfather is the confidant of the old saint. When the old man Long Yu dies, my brother Huan, my brother Baoyu, and I can also take the imperial examination and become officials. We can be regarded as disciples of the emperor, and the old saint
It has nothing to do with it. It’s just that we can’t let go of our relationship with my aunt and her family. We can have no soldiers in our hands, but we can’t live without soldiers! If something unexpected happens, such as being dragged down by the idiot brother Zhen in Dongfu, Situ
I didn’t even have any scruples when I started taking action.”
As soon as these words came out, Yingchun and Tanchun were so frightened that they stood up: "What did you say!"
Jia Cong pretended to be confused again: "Did I say something strange?"
Yingchun held her chest and said, "Don't scare me, I've already scared you into a cold sweat."
Jia Cong became even more surprised: "I didn't scare you! My sisters have read history books. These are so normal. What's wrong? I didn't say that the Situ family wanted to destroy our family! I only said that I was afraid that the Dongfu would be involved.
That’s all.”
The more he talked, the more he talked. He was frightened even when he was visiting the Spring Festival. His face was as white as a sheet of paper and his whole body was shaking. Only then did Jia Cong realize that he was playing too big and quickly comforted him: "Anyway, the old saint is still here. When he leaves, we will
It's time for these guys to go out. Sister, don't worry, your brother is not incompetent and will definitely find a place in the court. Brother Huan is the same. The crime of sitting in a row is just used by the Tian family to show power to others to kill chickens.
It's scary. If the person being joined is very important, he will definitely be reluctant to part with the talent. We brothers will all become pillars of the court in the future, and the saint will not be willing to sit with us. Besides, Brother Zhen may not really cause trouble. His two brothers
Even if you cause trouble, how much trouble can it cause?" After saying that, he looked at the faces of his two sisters and couldn't help but pretend to slap himself, "Am I really that bad at comforting others? Why do you seem to be getting more and more frightened?"
After a long while, Tan Chunfang sat down and sighed: "Cong'er is not allowed to laugh at us. How could we ever think about this? That's all. You go ahead and let's sit down for a while."
Jia Cong also knew that he had gone too far today, so he beat him a few times and ran away.
Yingchun Tanchun sat quietly for half a day, and Yingchun said flatly: "There must be something wrong with Brother Zhen."
Tanchun nodded: "I'm afraid Cong'er knows some clues."
The two of them looked at each other again, and both saw the turbulence in the other's eyes. Yingchun said: "In my early years, I was under the control of Queen Mother, and I had to suffer every day. Later Cong'er complained to my second brother on my behalf, and I thought that from now on I wish you a healthy life. I didn’t expect... we spend our days reciting poems and painting in the house, guessing words and picking apart coins, but it’s so dangerous outside the house."
The two of them were silent again. After a while, Tanchun called the servant to come in: "Go and invite Miss Lin, be sure not to disturb the four girls." The servant followed the order and left.
After a while, Lin Daiyu sneaked in quietly and said with a smile: "This girl Shishu is getting more and more ghostly. She has been secretly winking at me for a long time, and she even stood in a place where Xing Yatou and the four girls can't see her." Suddenly. I glanced over and saw both of them looking panicked, so I hurriedly asked what happened.
Tanchun took a deep breath, sent the servant out, pulled Daiyu to sit next to him, and whispered what Jia Cong had just said.
Ever since the saint used Lin Hai as bait, Lin Daiyu had already been led astray by Jia Cong. She had explored many tunnels in the past six months, and became familiar with Jia Cong and his group of S.H.I.E.L.D.s. They often talked together. Unavoidably influenced by them, I lost respect for the Tian family in my heart. Therefore, I said inexplicably: "What he said is very true. Why are you panicking?"
Erchun looked at each other again, and Yingchun said: "You also think what he said is right? You don't think there is anything wrong?"
Daiyu asked: "Sister Yi Er, what do you think is wrong?"
Yingchun couldn't help but shed tears: "My ancestors said every day that our family is extremely favored... It turns out..."
Daiyu said: "What our ancestors said is true. Your family is really rich in holy favors. However, as Cong'er said, these holy favors did not fall from the sky for nothing, but were obtained by my grandfather in exchange for his merits."
Tanchun also burst into tears: "We always say that Brother Baoyu is dreaming, but it turns out that we ourselves are also dreaming." She sighed again, "Not just us, I'm afraid even the old lady and the master are dreaming."
Daiyu said: "Uncle is not dreaming."
A wry smile appeared on Tanchun's face: "Thankfully, the old man is awake." Yin said, "In this case, we are afraid that we have to make up for the estrangement from the Gao family in the past few years sooner."
Yingchun nodded, and the two of them called for people to bring in all the old accounts from many years ago for detailed inspection. Daiyu stayed to help. It took a lot of effort to find out, and sure enough, after Jia Daishan left, the two families suddenly stopped communicating. Rong Rong The various New Year's gifts sent by the government have become much thinner since the next year, but the gifts returned from there in the first five years have not diminished. From the sixth year after Jia Daishan left, they have been equal to the gifts from the Rongguo government. Fortunately, they are not too excessive. Alienated. Daiyu couldn't help blurting out: "Is it really my grandmother and..." She hurriedly covered her mouth.
Half a day later, Tan Chun also sighed in a low voice: "I always thought that my ancestor was the one who knew the best..."
Yingchun suddenly smiled and said, "That day, Cong'er brought a copy of Zizhi Tongjian to show me."
Daiyu hurriedly asked: "What is he making trouble for?"
"He said that it is difficult to govern a country with a thousand pieces of gold and purple, but one or two skirts and hairpins can unite the family. Although women are not allowed to go out to serve as officials and slaughterhouses, they still need to have some big hills and valleys in their hearts, so that when they come to Japan, they will not miss the family due to short-sightedness."
The three of them looked at each other a few more times, and then Tanchun said: "In that case, we must prepare for the New Year's gift there this year."
Daiyu said: "I'm afraid they won't understand why. I have an unkind idea. Do you want to listen to it?"
Erchun said hurriedly, "Master Xiang, please speak."
Daiyu smiled bitterly and said: "I can't think of anything else for the moment, I can only think of..." She glanced at Tanchun, "We can't always say anything wrong about my grandmother. Why don't the second sister write a letter of divorce and say that you
The two of them and their eldest sister-in-law were running the family for the first time, and they were worried that there was something wrong, so they carefully checked the old accounts of many years - this was actually true. They found that they had been estranged from my aunt's family all these years, and it was actually our family's.
No. In the early years, the second wife was always in charge of the business..."
Welcome the Spring Festival and laugh out loud.
Daiyu smiled and said: "Anyway, if there is something wrong, I can't let my grandmother carry it. Let her be filial and take the blame for it. I think my aunt is well aware of it."
Tanchun said: "I will go back and embroider her forehead carefully with her."
Yingchun said: "Then I will make a purse."
Daiyu sighed: "In the past two years, I haven't moved my needle horizontally or vertically. I have been thinking about the authentic houses every day. I can't do needlework. I turn around or write a word and a fan, and then let it go.
Cong'er is just trying to find a way to get some unique and interesting little gifts for me."
Tan Chun said with a smile: "The Prime Minister is very neat when ordering students."
Daiyu then leaned on the kang and hummed: "I have given him so many ideas in vain over the years, and I haven't seen a single silver penny in thanks. It would be an advantage for him to think of such a small idea."
After saying this, Yingchun stood up and saluted her seriously: "Mr. Lin, you are so lucky. I would like to thank you on behalf of your lord."
The three of them laughed and made a mess.
Not long after, Zijuan sent an arrow to Lixiangyuan for her prime minister. Jia Cong frowned and said, "Of course I can find a unique little gift, but a gift is just a gift after all. Sister Lin has a good literary talent, so why not write a piece about missing family members?
It would be nice to write a poem or some poem praising my grandfather’s achievements.”
Zicuckoo took his words and went back with a smile.
Jia Cong thought for a while and realized that Jia She had to be informed about this matter, so he ran to find his father. He only said that he discovered this matter when he visited the spring to check the accounts. He thought it was inappropriate and sent him as a messenger to ask.
I want to resume contact with their family.
In the past, Jia She was dissatisfied with the Gao family because they looked down on him and lost real power. Moreover, he was ridiculous in his early years and never took these things to heart. Now after hearing this, he realized that it was his family who alienated others first!
She couldn't help but get angry: "The old lady really has long hair and short knowledge, and she has missed our whole family!"
Jia Cong secretly pouted at the side, thinking to himself, didn’t you care about it yourself?
Jia She thought for a while: "What the two girls said is true. It is natural that Haosheng will get close to my aunt's family again. Since it is our fault, this year's New Year's gift must be more generous!"
Jia Cong said: "Sister Lin also came up with a weird idea, asking them to write a letter to my aunt, saying only that the second wife was in charge of the business in the early years..."
When Jia She heard this, he clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, okay! Girl Lin is really smart!" Because he suddenly remembered, "It seems like I haven't bought anything for your sisters in many years."
Jia Cong nodded: "Yes! It's been many years!"
Jia She smiled and said: "All your sisters are good! Let's go shopping tomorrow and buy some good things for your sister to pack in the box!"
Jia Cong jumped for joy: "Okay! Buy me something to play with too!"
