Seeing that Qiaolian was speechless by Lanxiang, Chuncao saw that Qiaolian was speechless. As an ally of Qiaolian, of course she had to speak to her at this time. Since she was the oldest here and had grown up serving her uncle, she scolded Lan.
Xiangdao: "What are you talking about? Are there any rules left? Where do you think our Jia Mansion is? We are from a noble family, not from some small family. We don't know the rules. We dare to seduce you in broad daylight. This
If he is in the house, if the master and his wife find out, they will be taken out and beaten to death immediately."
Lan Xiang was very disdainful of Chun Cao's words. She raised her head and said to them, "Don't think that you are already a famous person. As long as you are not taken over by the uncle, you are still a maid like me. I also come from a wealthy family.
I have never heard that a maid will be beaten to death if she climbs on the bed. You are just trying to scare those who have never seen the world. I haven’t taken these words to heart yet."
Chun Cao was so angry that she couldn't speak. Qiao Lian came back to her senses at this time, pointed at Lan Xiang and scolded: "Don't be so proud of your little hooves. I will tell my aunt when I come back to the house in the future and see how she cleans up."
you."
Lan Xiang saw that she was angry, and the smile on her face became brighter, "Even if we go back to the house in the future, it will depend on each other's status. If there is a difference in status, I still don't believe that my aunt will punish her son's room for a maid."
people."
Lan Xiang meant that she looked down on Qiao Lian and believed that she would definitely become Jia Ke's concubine before returning home.
When it comes to dealing with men, Chuncao and Qiaolian are really no match for her. Although Chuncao and Qiaolian are said to be born low, they have never experienced a life of displacement and precariousness in the Jia family, so they still have a bit of dignity. So they can't
Like Lan Xiang, in order to have a better life, she will climb up by any means necessary.
Seeing that she really couldn't tell Lan Xiang anything, Qiao Lian was so angry that she slammed the door curtain and went out.
When Chun Cao saw Qiao Lian gone, she was left alone, so you gave Lan Xiang a hard look and went out.
Lan Xiang saw them all leaving in defeat, and then proudly walked around the room, then sat on Jia Ke's bed, gently closed her eyes, and imagined that she would enjoy a prosperous and wealthy life in Jia's house in the future.
Lan Xiang originally thought that if her father was convicted, she would never have a chance to turn around in her life. She didn't think the life she had enjoyed before was that important at the time. She didn't realize how valuable it was until she lost it.
When she was in pain and helpless, wondering where she would be sold in the future? At this time, Jia Ke appeared. She was bought and sent to Jia Ke's house. At first, he didn't know Jia Ke's identity. He only knew to be careful.
She waited for Jia Ke until she had a chat with Liu Yu, and she didn't know Jia Ke's origin, his current official position, and his future future.
From that moment on, she vowed to return to the life of a superior person, for which she would sacrifice everything. But now she is getting closer to this goal, as long as she becomes Jia Ke's aunt, with Jia Ke's help
With his abilities, he will definitely be able to become a prince and a general in the future, and he will also be extremely wealthy. Let those who looked down on him in the past fall at his feet.
Besides, Jia Ke left his small courtyard and came to the guest room where He Tong lived. By this time, He Tong had already woken up and had breakfast.
When He Tongtong saw Jia Ke, his face was full of apologies, and he apologized to him repeatedly, saying: "I have been tired these days. I drank wine yesterday and got drunk. If there is any offense, please don't take offense, Mr. Jia."
Jia Ke smiled and said: "Haha, not only are you drunk, but I am also drunk. I don't even know how to get back to the room. When it comes to apologising, I, the master, have to apologize to you. How can any guest apologize to the master?
reason."
He Tong and Jia Ke exchanged greetings, and He Tong got down to business and said to Jia Ke, "Now that the handover has been completed, I will go back today."
Jia Ke quickly tried to dissuade him: "You've only been here for a day, you're so exhausted along the way, and you haven't rested yet. How can you go back in such a hurry?"
"I would like to take a rest, but unfortunately I really don't have time. Firstly, I have to give orders to Lord Jiedushi, and secondly, if I am gone for a long time, those little bastards under my command will probably turn the world upside down."
Jia Ke tried to dissuade him again and again, but He Tong insisted on leaving. Seeing this, Jia Ke had no choice but to order the generals of the three armies to go together to see him off.
He Tong could not dissuade him this time, so he had no choice but to obey him.
When Jia Ke came out, he went to deliver the order with his own soldiers, ordering Huang Baifeng, Feng Mo, Zheng Kai and all the thousands of households in Kaiping Town to see off He Tong with him. Jia Ke and others sent He Tong off for ten miles before they parted.
He Tong returned to Xuanfu Town with a dozen of his soldiers. Jia Ke stood there and watched his disappearing figure, unable to calm down in his heart for a long time. It wasn't that he had much affection for He Tong.
The news that He Tong told him was really shocking. If he goes by his words, I am afraid that his Kaiping Town is the only fortress that can resist the Tatars. If the Tatars break through Kaiping Town.
I am afraid that by then Wang Tao will have no choice but to concentrate all his forces to defend Xuanfu Town like last time, and other places will have no choice but to be ravaged by the Tatars.
At this time, Zheng Kai urged his horse to take a few steps forward, came to Jia Ke, and said to Jia Ke: "My lord, this He Tong is probably not a good person. He asked me several times on the way here about our training methods. He even asked me several times.
It’s almost time to punish someone for a lowly position.”
When Jia Ke heard what he said, he immediately frowned, but finally calmed down. He said to Zheng Kai: "It seems that He Tong is still somewhat ambitious, and he can see the benefits of my art of war at a glance."
No wonder he has to leave in a hurry today, that’s what happened. You should pay more attention to his whereabouts in the future, and if there is anything disadvantageous to us, come and report to me immediately."
Then he said to the three of them: "Next, we will break up all the troops, reorganize them, and arrange our original two thousand people into the team to serve as corps commanders, or even commanders, and let our people lead by example, and then
Start training again. Only in this way can you get twice the result with half the effort."
Huang Baifeng and the other three people responded together after listening to the lecture's instructions.
After Jia Ke bid farewell to He Tong and returned to Kaiping Town, as soon as he returned to his mansion and sat down, he heard a report from his servants, saying that someone asked to see him.
Jia Ke then asked the man's name, and the servant quickly sent him a greeting card. When Jia Ke saw the name, he immediately stood up and ran out the door.
When he arrived outside the door, he saw a handsome middle-aged scholar standing there. Jia Ke ran up and grabbed his hand and said excitedly: "I have been looking forward to your visit for a long time, and I don't want to meet you today. Sir, hurry up."
Sit inside."
After saying that, he took the person and walked to the garrison. It turned out that this person was no one else. It was Fan Kang, the original official of Xuanfu Town. He came with the army yesterday, but because He Tong was still there, it was difficult to meet Jia Ke.
.
Today I heard that He Tong had left, so I came to the garrison mansion to see Jia Ke.
Jia Ke and Fan Kang came to the study room of the garrison mansion together and took their seats as guests and hosts. Jia Ke ordered someone to notify Lan Xiang to make tea in person.
You must know that in this garrison, only Lan Xiang is a person who understands tea art, and everyone else is just a cow chewing peonies.
Soon Lan Xiang came in dragging two bowls of tea. He placed a bowl each in front of Jia Ke and Fan Kang, and then left.
At this time, Jia Ke asked: "Sir, what is your identity here this time? Can you stay for a long time?"
Fan Kang said with a smile: "I am lucky this time. Kaiping Guard has been upgraded to Kaiping Town. Here we need a county magistrate. I still have some connections in the Jiedushi Mansion, and Wang Tao sees that I am in Jiedushi."
Because of the many years of serving as the envoy, I was asked to be the county magistrate, which is one level higher than the military director I originally asked for. And the real power is also much greater."
