Not long after we sat down, Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg, came out together to serve as temporary hosts.
Jia Cong was in a daze. He didn't expect Lin Daiyu to return home suddenly.
If he had known this, he shouldn't have brought his subordinates with him. It would be too rude.
"What are you looking at? You all stay outside. You are not allowed to come in without my instructions, you know?"
He turned around and glanced at his dumbfounded younger brother, snorted coldly and chased them away.
The boss spoke, and the younger brothers didn't even dare to fart one more time, and exited the main hall honestly.
"Third brother, what are you doing? We are all relatives..."
Jia Cong's "tyrannical" behavior was obviously a bit off-putting to Phoenix Egg, so before the master Lin Daiyu could speak, she couldn't help but speak.
Are you stupid?
Jia Cong glanced at the phoenix egg as if he were a fool. He smiled at the angry Lin Daiyu and said, "If I had known that Sister Lin would come back home, I would have brought gifts no matter what!"
"forget it!"
Lin Daiyu's beautiful eyebrows relaxed slightly and she said with a smile: "If this is really the case, I'm afraid my father will blame me, as if I just wanted to return home because I was coveting the gift from Third Brother Cong. That's not allowed!"
Tsk tsk, look at this reaction, she is so sharp-tongued, she is indeed the Lin Daiyu in my impression.
"Sister Lin, didn't you say you wanted to take me to take a good look at the Lin family's garden? Let's go over and take a look now, okay?"
Seeing Lin Daiyu and Jia Congyan laughing at Yan Yan and not noticing his presence at all, Phoenix Egg was immediately unhappy and forcefully intervened with a suggestion.
"Didn't you see that Third Brother Cong came to visit? I have to receive it on my father's behalf!"
Lin Daiyu rolled her delicate eyes and said angrily: "If you want to see it, just ask a boy to take you around!"
Phoenix Egg was speechless for a moment. Without Lin Daiyu to accompany him, how could he have the heart to see the Lin Mansion's garden?
The garden of Rongguo Mansion has been carefully cultivated for many years. It is much better than Lin Mansion in terms of scale and aesthetics. If you really like to see the garden, why bother to look far away?
Jia Cong just looked at the shriveled phoenix egg without saying a word. He thought that everyone in the world was your mother, and everyone had to give you face wherever he went.
"Third Brother Cong doesn't know!"
Easily slapping Phoenix Egg to silence, Lin Daiyu chuckled and explained: "Dad knew that Third Brother Cong was going to visit today, and was worried that something might happen to him, so he sent the old housekeeper to Rong Mansion to inform him in advance yesterday.
You will take me back to the Lin Mansion in the evening to entertain you, Third Brother Cong!"
As he spoke, a pair of small eyes looked up and down at Jia Cong, his eyes full of curiosity and confusion.
Although she was thousands of miles away from home at a young age and was separated from her only relative, she, who was rarely intelligent, knew how proud her father Lin Ruhai was.
I had heard before in Rongguo Mansion that my father valued the young man in front of me very much, so I thought it was just a rumor or just being polite.
But now Lin Daiyu confirmed this statement, her father Lin Ruhai really valued the third brother Cong in front of him.
Otherwise, in order to receive this guy, he would not have sent the old housekeeper to notify her early, and even specially brought her back to the house one day in advance to entertain Third Brother Cong.
The reason turned out to be that he was worried that he would be busy with official duties and would be neglecting the young man in front of him.
Isn't this too exaggerated?
To put it bluntly, Cong's third brother is so virtuous and capable that his father thinks so highly of him?
No matter how you look at it, except for being tall and thick, and looking a little inexplicably fierce, there is nothing special about Cong Sandi.
Doubts arose in her heart, but Lin Daiyu refused to be rude at all and behaved perfectly.
"Uncle is so polite!"
Jia Cong did not expect that Lin Ruhai would be so generous that he would bring his daughter back just to entertain him.
Although there aren't many disturbances in my heart, I still have to do some superficial work.
As for other ideas, he didn't have any at all.
Lin Daiyu is only twelve years old at the moment. Although she has beautiful features and beautiful features, she is just a bean sprout at the moment, similar to a modern child in the fifth or sixth grade of elementary school. If he has any thoughts that he shouldn't have, he is simply a beast.
Obviously, the phoenix egg next to me didn't think so.
Seeing Sister Lin and Jia Cong chatting and laughing happily, in a harmonious and intimate atmosphere, I suddenly felt very angry and unhappy.
"Brother Cong, why did you come to the Lin family to visit your uncle?"
Phoenix Egg, who couldn't bear it anymore and still had the temper of a child, suddenly interrupted while Lin Daiyu was speaking and asked: "Don't you open a bookstore outside? You have no contact with Uncle Lin!"
By the way, Phoenix Egg is also studying folklore. He only spends three days fishing and two days drying nets. Don't expect to make any progress.
But after staying in clan school for so long, I can always hear something about Jia Cong.
For example, this guy runs a bookstore outside, which publishes "The Richest Man in the World" and other interesting books. It is a very famous Huiyou Bookstore in the capital.
Not only that, Jia Cong also led a group of ethnic studies classmates to skip classes every day. It is said that they went to the bookstore for who knows what.
Phoenix Egg naturally has no interest in this. He only has one friend in clan studies, Qin Zhong, and his mind is not on studying. Why would he care about Jia Cong's behavior?
Now it's a good excuse. To bring down Jia Cong, it's best to stay in the Lin family without shame.
Sure enough, Lin Daiyu looked over with bright eyes.
She didn't know much about Jia Cong at all.
In the three-acre land of Rongqing Hall, there are no rumors about Jia Cong at all. At most, there are jokes that Jia Cong is a "big rice bucket".
As for the second room, there will be no news about Jia Cong's deeds as a concubine of a big family.
If it were to be passed on, it would be all about the ugliness and filthiness of Dafang. In short, Lin Daiyu had almost no impression of Jia Cong.
The only thing that impressed me was that this man was younger than her, but he was quite tall and thick-set. It was obvious at a glance that he was not someone to be trifled with.
As for "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "The Richest Man in the World", which are popular in the capital, she has naturally seen them, but she doesn't like them very much.
Especially the book "The Richest Man in the World", which described many Yangzhou salt merchants and their methods of patrolling the salt censor, made her frightened and frightened after reading it.
Her father was the Salt Patrol Censor, and he was poisoned and seriously injured while in office. When I read this book, I had a very strong sense of empathy. Sometimes I felt anxious and angry and even cried. How can I raise anything?
Like?
As for "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", how could any little girl like it?
There was also Na Shizi's "The Legend of Wuyou Cave", which made her so frightened that she couldn't sleep at night. The author "Cong Sanshao" didn't know how much he secretly received, and how many dissatisfied and angry scoldings he received from the maid Zijuan next to him.
.
In short, the several books written by Jia Cong under the name of "Three Young Masters Cong", except for the first "Young Heroes" and a series of children's stories, the rest are either passionate plots, conspiracy, or the dark side of society. How is it possible?
Will it be loved by little girls?
That is to say, Lin Daiyu didn't know that Jia Cong was the "Third Young Master Cong", otherwise she wouldn't have known how she would have been eliminated.
Lin Daiyu is quick-thinking and sharp-tongued, and her rebuttal skills are quite powerful.
The most speechless thing is that it is rumored that when Lin Daiyu criticizes others, her words are full of cultural atmosphere, citing scriptures. If she is not well-educated and culturally uncultivated, she may not even understand what she is saying.
This is probably one of the reasons why she does not want to be seen by the servants of Rongguo Mansion. Most of the servants of Rongguo Mansion are illiterate.
Now I suddenly heard that Jia Cong runs a bookstore, and I immediately became interested.
She had just been chatting with Jia Cong. There were many tests in her words, and the other party could answer them easily. She also picked up some of the knowledge hidden in the words at her fingertips. She was definitely a person who had read a book, and was a good student at that.
I didn’t expect that this guy could run a bookstore outside at such a young age!
If Jia Cong is really good, she will be able to communicate more in the future. To be honest, she is a bit bored in Rongguo Mansion.
Being from a scholarly family is no joke. I have been influenced by the atmosphere in my family since I was a child, and with my bright mind, I read all four books at the age of six.
This kind of reading talent is an incredible talent even among the so-called reading seed group.
It's a pity that the cultural atmosphere in Rongguo Mansion is really not very good, and it doesn't support my daughter's family's education.
In addition, there is a phoenix egg who doesn't like to study and make progress. Lin Daiyu actually likes to study, but in the end she is holding it back and not daring to expose it.
In order to avoid causing any further trouble, it is rumored that I put eye drops on the phoenix egg and so on.
Now that I learned that Jia Cong runs a bookstore, I felt a little bit of surprise in my heart, and I had some small ideas for exchanging reading experiences.
Phoenix Egg would never have thought that his angry words would have such a result. If he had known, he would have burst into tears to show his regret.
Naturally, Jia Cong didn't know that Lin Daiyu, who looked like a lady with a smile on her face, would have so many thoughts in such a short time.
If you knew it, you would definitely say: It is worthy of being called the Exquisite Heart with Seven Apertures!
Hearing that Phoenix Egg's tone was not kind, and his gaze was not very friendly, Jia Cong was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this had stimulated the young man's turbulent heart.
It's just that he doesn't have the habit of using phoenix eggs. This is not Rongqing Hall.
Smiling slightly, Jia Cong said leisurely: "Aren't these my younger brothers, the classmates of Brother Bao, including that boy Xue Pan, are you willing to give it a try this year?"
After saying this, he paused and saw that Phoenix Egg's face turned ugly at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was obvious that he was extremely unhappy to hear such words.
But Nima, who cares if your Yagao is unhappy?
Smiling slightly, he continued: "It just so happened that my uncle invited me to visit. My younger brother respects my uncle's reputation as a beauty hunter. I just happened to bring him with me to ask my uncle for advice, so that I can avoid detours in the examination room!"
"Haha, you think this is your school!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a hearty laugh came from the door of the back hall, and Lin Ruhai's thin and tall figure slowly came over, with a smile on his face and he was obviously in a good mood...
