Lin Ruhai stood in the corner of the garden, his face dark and depressed.
He heard everything Jia Cong said.
One against a hundred...
Even if this is the case, there is no need to say it carelessly. Don’t I, the father-in-law, have no face?
I originally wanted to take the initiative to say hello, but now I don’t have to...
Jia Cong, who was following behind Mr. Lin, could not help but smile. How could he not sense that Lin Ruhai was nearby?
Just for fun...
When he arrived at the yard where Lin Daiyu lived, he happened to see the maid Zicuckoo and Xueyan beside him. He greeted her directly without any politeness: "Go and wake up your lady!"
A trace of displeasure flashed between Zicuckoo's brows, and she replied: "Miss is still resting!"
Tsk tsk...
Didn't you see that maid Xue Yan run away in a flash? It is said that the customs in Rong Mansion have a great influence on these maids. They have been following Lin Daiyu for more than a year and they have not changed the habits there.
Do you still regard Jia Cong as a little transparent person from the Rong Mansion, or do you think you look down on his son-in-law?
Jia Cong didn't waste any time, he raised his foot and lightly kicked on the bluestone floor.
Boom!
The stone slabs shattered like thunder, and the flying dust made Jia Cong look like the god of war coming to earth. Things went smoothly after that.
Zijuan was so frightened that she naturally did not dare to take Qiao, so she went directly into the room to help Daiyu, who had woken up, put on the special clothing for martial arts training.
"What a majesty!"
Daiyu had a sleepy look on her face and said angrily: "Were you showing off your power just now?"
"Sister Lin can understand this!"
Jia Cong smiled lightly and went directly to the topic: "Let's exercise. Put these things aside for now. Sister Lin will practice boxing and see..."
An hour after saying this, Lin Daiyu showed him what genius is!
Once you learn it, you will understand it clearly, and your mind will be absolutely bright!
It's just that the bones, energy, and blood of the body are weakened, and it can't keep up with the speed of the brain. It looks a bit clumsy, and it doesn't look very beautiful.
Obviously, sixteen-year-old Lin Daiyu loves beauty!
Fortunately, there is supervision by Jia Cong, and the martial arts taught are similar to Mianzhang and Baguazhang. The combination of movement and stillness makes the body movements flexible and elegant. Once the fighting is smooth and the feeling is achieved, the posture is also quite wonderful.
Before, Lin Daiyu only practiced according to the boxing manual he gave her. Without the guidance of a master, it was quite awkward. She couldn't coordinate her breathing or movements of her hands and feet, so she naturally gave up on the training effect.
Nowadays, with the guidance of a martial arts expert like Jia Cong, it is easy to practice on the right path, immersing yourself in it naturally, and at the same time, you can clearly feel the effects of training.
After an hour of training, Jia Cong spent half an hour giving instructions. Lin Daiyu was exhausted and sweating profusely, but her face was rosy and energetic, and she had obviously felt the joy of practicing martial arts.
It's just a set of body-building boxing techniques, with slight adjustments and more graceful postures, which is very suitable for girls of Lin Daiyu's age.
It was a bit late to have breakfast, but when Lin Ruhai saw that her daughter's appetite suddenly increased greatly, she was immediately happy.
The food on the dinner table were all improvised meal recipes made by Jia Cong based on Lin Daiyu's physical condition.
No matter how you put it, he is a person who has read a lot of medical books. Even if he has almost zero practical experience, he has a profound martial arts training and a thorough understanding of various parts of the body. It is not a problem to prepare a targeted nutritious meal.
After breakfast, Jia Cong said goodbye and left.
"Be prepared, let's leave together in half a month!"
Lin Ruhai looked solemn and reminded in a low voice: "When the time comes, Yu'er's safety will depend on you!"
Jia Cong glanced sideways at the guy and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there will be no problem!"
Before he returned home, he saw Lian Er's confidant Xing'er walking around the door from a distance, looking around from time to time with a look of eagerness on his face.
"Oh, Third Master Cong, you are finally back. Second Master has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Seeing Jia Cong slowly coming over, this guy ran up to him and said in a somewhat urgent tone: "There's something not right about the second master coming out of the palace. Third master Cong needs to watch carefully!"
"Don't worry, the sky won't fall down yet!"
Jia Cong frowned and said with a smile: "It seems that your second master also knows the specific purpose of Jinling's appointment. I'm afraid he is full of anxiety!"
Lian Er was indeed full of anxiety at this time, and was completely overwhelmed by fear and uneasiness...
When he saw Jia Cong Shishi entering the door, he felt as if he had seen the great savior. He rushed over in three steps and two steps at a time, grabbed Jia Cong's arm and said hurriedly: "Third brother, brother, I'm in big trouble this time."
Yes, you can help me!"
Then, seeing no one around, he directly repeated the current request and said in anguish, "Isn't this pushing me into a pit of fire?"
"What, are you scared?"
Jia Cong sat on the chair next to him and asked with a smile: "Aren't you the prefect of Jinling? You are so scared!"
"But the Zhen family is the overlord of Jiangnan!"
Lian Er's face turned a little pale, and he trembled: "One bad move, not only will I be doomed, but your second sister-in-law and eldest sister will also end up badly!"
"Isn't that too pessimistic?"
Jia Cong sneered and said: "Isn't Jinling the home of the four major families of King Jia Shi and Xue? As long as they are mobilized well, they can still fight!"
"Brother, I can't trust the people of Jinling!"
Lian Er was quite direct and said helplessly: "Brother, I saw the problem during our last trip to Jiangnan. How dare you entrust your family and life to them now? Aren't you asking for death?"
"Have you never thought of any other way?"
"There is no way, this time I am asked to be the vanguard of the charge!"
"Not only you, but also Uncle Lin, who is the new governor of Huaiyang, also has such a task!"
"This time, do you plan to catch my uncle and me in one fell swoop?"
Lian Er said with a sad face: "What can we do?"
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain!"
Jia Cong looked calm and was not affected by Lian Er's depressed mood. He said leisurely: "It won't be too late to act according to the opportunity when we get to Jinling!"
"That's all it can do!"
Lian Er's heart was filled with panic and he didn't know how to get out. When he got on the carriage and was jolted around to wake up, he was already almost at the General's Mansion.
"Second Master, didn't you notice something strange about Third Master Cong?"
Xing'er, who was following the carriage, saw that Lian Er was still distracted after getting off the carriage, so he couldn't help but remind him: "He doesn't seem to have much psychological burden!"
"Yes, that kid has always been resourceful, there's no way he doesn't have some ideas!"
Lian Er suddenly realized that he was about to get in the car and return to Jia Cong's house. He must ask clearly, otherwise he would not be able to sleep well.
"Second Master, let's forget it. Third Master Cong is now the prospective son-in-law of the Lin family, and they will definitely go to Jiangnan together!"
As the so-called bystander knows, although Xing'er doesn't know what trouble Lian Er has encountered, he also knows how powerful Jia Cong is. As long as the third master is here, the safety of the trip to Jiangnan will be guaranteed. This he is quite sure of.
Lian Er thought the same thing and suppressed his uneasiness and went home to rest.
For the next half month, Jia Cong was busy.
Every morning he went to Lin's house to supervise Lin Daiyu's exercise, and then had a sumptuous breakfast at Lin's house. In the morning, he discussed travel arrangements with his subordinates.
This time, he planned to go to the south of the Yangtze River with him, who was good at martial arts and Xue Pan, who insisted on coming.
The industries here in the capital, as well as the supervision matters in the clan school, were all handed over to Huan San, and the new batch of clan school juniors followed Huan San to learn and improve.
Knowing that after arriving in Jiangnan, he was likely to have a head-on conflict with the Zhen family, he was not afraid. Even if he had a lot of money, he had enough power to protect himself. This guy had become a master of Mingjin without saying a word, and he was considered good in Daqing.
Already.
On the other hand, Xue Pan's safety would not be guaranteed if he was not protected by sufficiently sophisticated guards.
For this reason, the Xue family's escort team expanded rapidly, from the original thirty or fifty people to hundreds.
According to what Xue Pan said, there are not enough elites to gather together!
Jia Cong did not refute this. The situation of the Xue family was actually much simpler than that of other families. As long as they were strong enough, it would be quite easy to fully control it.
I believe that with the dual pressure from the governor of Huaiyang and the prefect of Jinling, the Jinling Xue clan will make the right choice.
Originally, it would be most appropriate to call Xue Biao, the new clan leader, but unfortunately Xue Biao is currently observing his father's filial piety, and it is really difficult for him to come forward.
During this period, Lin Ruhai's official appointment was also announced, which I heard caused quite a stir in the court.
Again, Lin Ruhai's appointment has broken the long-established rule of appointing officials in different places in the officialdom.
Even the cabinet bosses would not dare to break such rules easily, otherwise there may be an unmanageable situation in the future.
But this time, Jin was determined. No matter how many objections there were in the court, he would not listen and wanted Lin Ruhai to be the governor of Huaiyang.
For those who don’t know, I thought Lin Ruhai had switched to today’s...
On the other hand, the Shijia Shuanghou specially invited Jia Cong to have a drink and directly asked if he had encountered any trouble. He seemed to be quite unkind now?
Before Jia Cong could speak, Baolinghou Shi Nai explained the purpose of inviting him over. It turned out that the two princes named Shi did not want to get involved in the Xungui Group and the current struggle.
Another Marquis of Zhongjing spoke more directly: "Right now, the capital is in a storm, and the backbone of our four major families are all gone. It is difficult to stay in the capital alone, and we cannot take the initiative to look for a good job!"
Now that the two princes had spoken, Jia Cong did not show any pretense and directly told them the true purpose of sending Lin Ruhai and Lian Er to Jiangnan as errands.
"It's true today, it's true today, it's far less open-minded than the Emperor!"
The two princes were dumbfounded. They didn't expect such operations to exist today. Their moods were complicated and difficult to understand for a while, and they were even more determined to let go.
Damn it, it must be uncomfortable to be stared at by the emperor. Their brothers don't have much power in the army, so they don't want to suffer an unreasonable disaster.
"If the two uncles can trust me, then they will find a way to win the position of commander of the Yangtze River Navy. It will be of great use in a few years!"
