On this day, Jia Cong returned to the general's mansion on time.
Huan San was still with him. He did not stay in the main courtyard for long, but went directly back to the small courtyard where he lived, waiting for the arrival of Phoenix Egg Jia Baoyu and his entourage.
Yes, today is the date of the scheduled meeting with Jia Baoyu, the Phoenix Egg.
I don't know if it was because they didn't meet often, but Jia Baoyu didn't lose his temper and insisted on visiting Jia Cong when he was in school.
Perhaps, the idea is also due to "Young Heroes".
This guy disdains the orthodox Four Books and Five Classics, but he is very fond of miscellaneous books. Maybe, maybe, Jia Cong got some of the glory.
Nanny Li and the little maid Lingque had already cleaned the yard and were standing there laughing happily.
The small courtyard where Jia Cong lives is quite remote. In the past, except for Huan San who came from time to time to join in the fun, it was so deserted that it was disturbing.
Today, the most dazzling Mr. Bao in the entire Rongguo Mansion is coming, so Mr. Li and his maid Lingque naturally pay great attention to him.
At the same time, I was also excited because I didn't expect that a storybook that the third young master had just tinkered with could have such appeal.
It was just that Li was illiterate. Forced by the task of reading one or two volumes of miscellaneous books every day, Lingque learned all the common words early on.
She has also read the storybook "Young Heroes". She has no interest in the first three traditional stories, Kong Rong letting the pear, Sima Guang smashing the vat, and Gan Luo getting married at the age of twelve, but she is more interested in the tortoise and the hare race in the back.
The pony is more interested in crossing the river.
I didn't think "Young Heroes" was that good, but I didn't expect it to attract the second master of Phoenix Egg Treasure.
Jia Cong and Huan San's thoughts were much simpler. They just regarded the visit of Jia Baoyu and the girls as an event like a "signing session" and didn't think much about it at all.
He is not that stupid. He thinks that falling in love with Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg, will improve his situation in the house. He is overthinking it.
In the "much anticipated", Phoenix Egg Jia Baoyu and the girls came to play in the afterglow of the sunset. From a distance, they heard a crisp and charming smile like silver bells.
Damn, you are indeed the phoenix egg who is loved by thousands of people in the house. Not to mention the girls around you, there is also a circle of maids waiting around you. The treatment should not be too dazzling.
He didn't see Huan San next to him, his face was turning ugly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he was full of envy and jealousy that he couldn't even hide.
"I've seen Brother Bao, Second Sister, Sister Lin, Third Sister and Fourth Sister!"
Jia Cong took the initiative to welcome him out of the small courtyard and met all the strange relatives one by one.
"Are you Cong's third brother?"
Jia Baoyu and his party, who were originally laughing and noisy, seemed to have been cast a restraining spell. They all looked at the tall and strong young man in front of them with surprised faces.
"It's my little brother!"
Jia Cong raised his head and chest, and his body was strong and almost a head taller than Jia Baoyu.
Even the eldest second sister Yingchun is half a head shorter, and she doesn't look like she is of the same age group.
Although he didn't deliberately practice his boxing and kicking skills, his imposing heroic spirit really impressed the young masters and ladies who were raised in the boudoir in the back house.
As for the maids who followed, they all held their breath and concentrated, for fear of disturbing the interest of the young master and ladies. In fact, they were also frightened by Jia Cong's strong physique and heroic spirit.
Jia Baoyu's face was a little ugly. He didn't expect Jia Cong to be so tall and strong. He was a little scared and a little angry in his heart. He felt that the focus of the scene had shifted to Jia Cong, which was very unpleasant for the always favored Phoenix Egg.
Comfortable.
Subconsciously, he moved a few steps towards Lin Daiyu, making it appear that the two of them were very close. It was not surprising that Lin Daiyu's eyes were attracted to Jia Cong.
How did he know that Lin Daiyu was very surprised at the moment.
Because of the story book "Young Heroes", she was still very curious about Jia Cong. She still remembered that the first time they met was at Mrs. Xing's place. He behaved quite well and there was nothing unusual about him.
Unexpectedly, one year passed in the blink of an eye, and Jia Cong would be so tall and strong.
To be honest, she was a little envious of Jia Cong's strong physique. She couldn't help but think of her own frail body. She was confused for a moment and was misunderstood by the Phoenix Egg.
As for Sanchun, everyone was surprised at this time. They didn't expect Jia Cong to grow so "majestic" at such a young age.
Obviously Phoenix Egg and Huan San are about the same age as him, but when seen together, they seem to be several years older than Jia Cong, and they look particularly thin and petite.
"Let's go inside and talk!"
Jia Cong had a smile on his face, and he was keenly aware that Jia Baoyu, the Phoenix Egg, was in a low mood, and even a little bit hostile, so he didn't care enough to greet the group into the courtyard.
The furnishings in both the yard and the house were very simple. In the eyes of Jia Baoyu and the girls, they were naturally extremely crude.
When Yao Yao thought of Jia Cong's status as a concubine, he felt a little more sympathetic.
Jia Baoyu was obviously not in much of a mood. He just felt very uncomfortable staying here, but he took the initiative to bring up this gathering and could not leave immediately.
Without touching the 'coarse tea' brought by the little maid, she rolled her eyes and immediately got to the point: "Cong San, Third Brother..."
I felt quite awkward when calling this title. I subconsciously glanced at Jia Cong, who was sitting on the chair. He still looked tall and strong, and asked in a curious tone: "How did you come up with the idea of writing the book "Young Heroes"?"
As soon as he said this, the eyes of the ladies and maids all focused on Jia Cong. Apparently they were also very curious about this matter.
"Haha, Brother Bao doesn't know something!"
Jia Cong chuckled softly, without any unnaturalness, and explained leisurely: "When I go home from school every day, I have to listen to my maid Lingque reading aloud from various books. I also heard the relevant records, and that's when I started
Got the idea for a storybook!”
Jia Baoyu and the girls had already inquired about this matter before they came, and they did not show any surprise. For some reason, the atmosphere slowly became calmer.
"What about the tortoise and the hare race and the pony crossing the river? They don't seem to be taken from the records in the book, right?"
At this time, Tanchun, the third girl, suddenly spoke loudly and said with a smile: "I think these two little stories are very interesting!"
After hearing this, including Lin Daiyu, Yingchun and Xichun subconsciously nodded in agreement, obviously liking these two fables very much.
"This is something I specially thought about and added!"
Jia Cong laughed and said calmly: "The first three traditional stories extracted from books may not be liked by everyone, so I thought of two easy and simple stories to add to them!"
"Brother Cong, these two little stories of yours are not simple!"
The atmosphere was just right, and even Lin Daiyu couldn't help but smile and said: "There is a very profound truth in it, I'm afraid even a three-year-old child can understand it!"
Jia Cong smiled and said nothing. This is the most charming part of the two fables. Educational and entertaining is not just a joke...
