After staying in the Liangguang Governor's Mansion for a few days, the Jia brothers resigned to the prince. The day before leaving, Jia Cong sent someone to ask Miaoyu's meaning, and the kid really came back with a stack of poems. Jia Cong flipped it over slightly, overjoyed! just fills the gap in Jia Baoyu's literary style. Hurriedly took out the contract, just like the one given to Jia Baoyu back then, and then asked the kid to send it for signature. After a while, the little guy came back, and sure enough, Miaoyu didn't even look at the pen and signed it directly.

Jia Cong sighed lightly and said to Jia Baoyu: "It's a loss to meet a conscientious bookseller like me. If you encounter profiteers, you Qing Gao literati will be killed without discussion. He ordered Jia's horse to be sent back to the capital for printing along with Baoyu's stack of manuscripts, and named Miaoyu as Lucui Xiangu. He also wrote to Jia Huan, so that she only said that she was a beautiful woman and had never married for some reason. The Zen in her poems is easy for readers to guess that she is a young sister-in-law; Let people hype it up again, and don't worry about not selling well.

The next day, everyone packed their bags and set off, and Chen Ruijin was the last to come out of the house. Jia Cong felt a little strange and glanced at her a few times; She does nothing. Then they left the palace and went to the port to board the ship, Jia Baoyu and the others were very curious when they saw such a big ship for the first time. Zhenming was also a little surprised, and walked up and down a few times and said, "It's really a good ship." ”

When the ship was sailing at sea, Jia Cong ordered someone to put a chaise longue on the deck and lie on it to bask in the sun, which was very similar to that of later generations. Chen Ruijin gently walked over and sat beside him, his mouth close to his ear. Jia Cong closed his eyes and heard her footsteps, and his heart fluttered. But I heard her whisper: "Help me kill someone." ”

Jia Cong immediately opened his eyes: "Who?" ”

"Concubine Hui."

"Oh, good." Jia Cong closed his eyes again.

Chen Ruijin. After a while, she suddenly asked, "What if I don't have a son in the future?" ”

Jia Cong said: "The daughter is the little padded jacket of the father's mother, and the woman can hold up half the sky." ”

Chen Ruijin smiled, took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, lowered his head and lightly touched his face with his lips, and immediately stood up and left. Jia Cong hurriedly reached out to pull her, and she moved very quickly and flashed far away. Jia Cong couldn't reach it, so he had to squeeze the armrests of the recliner with both hands, and the corners of his mouth were grinning to the roots of his ears. After holding back for a while, he laughed.

When they left the boat and docked, a few of the newcomers saw Safe Harbor on the deck, and they were all stunned; When he got into the shock-absorbing carriage, there was an uproar again. Zhenming stared at Jia Cong all the way until the carriage entered the gate of Chengtianfu. This city has long made Jia Cong toss a combination of Chinese and Western, ancient and modern, and has a bit of the flavor of a film and television city in later generations, which is novel and interesting in the eyes of newcomers.

Zhenming just got out of the car, his eyes glanced at the newly hung signboard of the Taiwanese prefect's yamen, looked back at Jia Cong and said, "You want to stand on your own." ”

Jia Cong said inexplicably: "Am I lazy if I don't tell you?" ”

Zhen Ming said: "You used this as an excuse to coax Tian Qi, but in fact, you avoided the important and trivialized." I'm so big that I'll let you be lazy with you; Only one island is easy to tighten. You are not prepared to return this island to the imperial court. He pointed to the carriageway, "This thing is very good, and it looks like it's been used for years, and you've never thought of going up." ”

Jia Cong said: "If you have good things, do you have to be motivated?" I'm not happy to give it to my heavenly family, and I want to keep it for myself? ”

Zhenming said: "Heaven is the master, and if you have good things, you must naturally think about progress first." Jia Cong pursed his lips and disagreed. If you have this mind, even if you don't reverse it at this time, sooner or later it will be reversed. ”

Jia Cong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Isn't it the opposite of borrowing the silver from the treasury?" ”

Zhenming hesitated for a moment and said, "No." That is to give the shortcomings to the Son of Heaven. ”

Jia Cong laughed and said, "Pull it down!" If the Son of Heaven is incompetent, this is called bullying; If the Son of Heaven had the ability, the money would have been taken back long ago. Don't spend your days pondering these metaphysical things. Looking sideways, Jia Baoyu, who was standing beside Zhenming, turned white with fright. So the old man didn't say anything, and invited everyone into the house.

When I got inside, I met Jia Yu and Jia Lian, and asked for warmth, Jia Yu asked, "What about your fifth uncle and five aunts?" Playing again? Didn't come back for the New Year? ”

Jia Cong naturally said that the two of them had gone to carry the coffin for Heizi, so he only said: "They will make a detour to the capital to do something, and they will be able to rush back before the year." Jia Yu said "um". Jia Cong casually told him again, "I want to marry Sister Chen." ”

Gong Kun had already quietly mentioned this matter, and Chen Ruijin was a concubine, and his background was a little taller than him, Jia Yu smiled and stroked his beard and nodded: "You kid can be regarded as having a daughter-in-law." ”

Jia Lian hurriedly asked, "When will you get married?" Do you need to prepare something? ”

Jia Cong said: "Don't worry, we still have to fall in love." By the way, this kind of thing has to be done first. ”

Jia Yu snorted: "I went to mention it at the beginning of the year. Your second uncle said that our family is a family that values etiquette, let him keep his filial piety. ”

"And, don't you just want to make a name? That's almost there, twenty-seven months. His daughter-in-law has a high status and a lot of troubles and rules for weddings, so he can start preparing for this. Jia Cong scratched his head: "Then does he know who Brother Huan wants to marry?" ”

Jia Yu said: "Isn't Huan'er in the capital? Wouldn't he know? ”

The corners of Jia Cong's mouth crooked, and he laughed: "I definitely don't know." Brother Huan thought that Dad said it, and Dad thought Brother Huan said it. My second uncle's virtue, if he knew where he would keep his filial piety? I can't tell the world immediately, and I am full of filial piety to marry my daughter-in-law. Jia pardoned Jia Lian and laughed, although Baoyu didn't know who Jia Huan's daughter-in-law they were talking about, she was also a little sneering. Jia Cong patted his head, "Oops......" He remembered another headache, "Does the third sister have a man she likes?" ”

Jia Yu also frowned: "No...... She didn't even look at any of the wonderful young people. ”

"It stands to reason that she has to go out of the cabinet first......" Jia Cong said sadly, "Sister Lin can be two years late, and the third sister is Brother Huan's own sister." Jia Baoyu looked down at the green bricks on the side.

Jia Yuden blew his beard when he arrived: "Where can Lin girl be two years late?!" In the new year, they will both be twenty-two! Twenty-two! Lin girl is still a few months old! Which girl has you ever seen who is so old and still not married? Your Uncle Lin's hair is going to turn gray! Nai pointed to Jia Cong and said, "It's all you kid!" It's okay for them to be ministers, have you ever seen a girl do this? ”

Jia Cong looked at the sky: "They are all talents, talents, talents-what's wrong with the girls?" If you don't come down for a while, you'll be out of work for a long time.,Do you have to do it today.。 Do you want to keep shaking hands with the English heroine? Which other country is the heroine? Austria? …… Yes! ”

Jia Yu rolled his eyelids: "What's the matter." ”

Jia Cong hurriedly said: "The seven-year war broke out in about this year or two, and the Westerners don't say that they want to fight for seven years, so I forgot about it, so I'll discuss it with everyone!" He turned and ran out.

Jia Yu hurriedly shouted: "Come back!" What's the rush when you just entered the door? Isn't it seven years? It's still early. Besides, the letter from the West may not come over at this time. ”

Jia Lian also said: "Those who are going to get married, and they still listen to the wind and rain." ”

Jia Cong thought about it, there was no global telegraph at the moment, and the intelligence from the West was slow to come. I had to scratch my head and come back and hehe twice: "Isn't this trying to study some ways to let them fight for a few more years?" ”

Jia Lian coughed and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, the fight between the English and the French has already started in April and May. ”

Jia Cong pursed his mouth: "These two have been fighting all year round, it is a feud, and it is nothing." Are there other countries that are making peace? ”

Jia Lian said: "Prussia, Germany, and Austria have all entered the country. ”

Jia Cong raised his eyebrows, and his hands were clenched into fists and slammed into them: "That's the start of the fight!" Since the beginning of the old year, the Western countries have been fighting for seven years, which is known as the 'Seven Years' War. We have to send someone over to lead the wind and fire, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then fight a few more Taiping boxing! Hey, it's time to wait. They themselves are fighting a civil war and can't care about overseas hahaha......"

Maaki had been listening silently. Jia Cong only said that he was Shi Taijun's brother, but did not say much; Jia Yu and the others did not guard against him. Zhenming saw that Jia Cong's letter was "historical name", and Jia Yu and others were accustomed to it, and he was secretly shocked. Then he really believed that he was a celestial and a man in the lower realm, and asked, "How are you doing?" ”

Jia Cong was pleasantly surprised: "Do you always help us?" Wow, that's great! You're worth it! The specific way to do it is to be discussed, and the goal is to snatch North and South America and the Australian continent from the hands of Westerners. Maaki snorted and was silent.

Jia Yu coughed twice: "I'll talk about this later." The most important thing is to take care of your three sisters' relatives first. ”

Jia Cong looked at the sky: "Dad, my dear father!" I can't do anything about this, can I? When they want to get married, they naturally get married. Oh, I'm tired, I'll go back to the yard to rest first~~" Nai snorted, and the soles of his feet slipped with oil. Jia Yu wanted to stop him, but he didn't stop him, and scolded angrily for a long time.

Because he had already received the letter, Wang Xifeng simply placed Zhenming, Yuan Shikai, and Liao Shouping in the same courtyard, and Jia Baoyu placed them next door. The courtyard wall is like nothing in Zhenming, and he is still carrying Jia Baoyu to take a horse step. In the evening, Jia Lian set up a banquet, and everyone saw each other. Baoyu finally saw Lin Daiyu with her eyes, and saw that her demeanor was chic, not angry, and arrogant, which was different from the last time she returned to Beijing.

The next day, Jia Cong was going to Xiao. Xiangguan, Baoyu rushed over and asked in a low voice, "I might go and see how Sister Lin does things?" ”

Jia Cong said: "You have to ask her about this." If you want to visit it, naturally no problem. ”

So he led him to Xiao together. Hunan Pavilion. Lin Daiyu was busy with her feet not touching the ground, and Jia Cong told her: "Brother Baoyu is curious about how we work here, why don't you let him follow you to see." ”

Daiyu looked at Jia Baoyu and said apologetically: "It's just that I don't have the time to take care of Brother Bao." ”

Baoyu hurriedly said: "I just look at it, and I won't make trouble for my sister." Daiyu nodded, and before she could speak, someone came in to ask her to sign. She then left two surnamed Jia.

Baoyu served tea and poured water at her hand, but fortunately, he was clever and asked him to help him get something. A colleague came in to see him and said curiously: "Did Minister Lin personally bring the interns?" ”

Daiyu said: "Yes, it's just that I'm really busy, and I don't have time to teach him, so I just let him follow along." ”

The colleague said, "What else is there to complain about being able to intern next to Minister Lin?" I'm willing to come, will the minister still accept it? ”

Daiyu said: "Do you still have spare time for internships?" Hurry up and send over your department's budget for the first quarter of next year, and don't sign it when it's overdue. ”

The man threw up his hand and begged for mercy: "Don't, Xiangye! Leave some ideas for the little ones! The number changes every day, and I can't help it. Daiyu was signing with her wrist hanging, raised her eyebrows and glanced at him lightly, which made him laugh a few more times, "Go back and tidy up." Hurriedly took the text and yelled and blew the ink a few times, and ran away with it.

He had just gone out, and another woman came in: "Minister Lin......" The two said something that Jia Baoyu couldn't understand for a long time. Until she finished speaking, the woman glanced at Jia Baoyu with a smile, "This is-" Her eyes widened immediately, "Isn't this Second Master Bao?" ”

Baoyu had already recognized her as Jin Jiang, the big girl in Jia Cong's house, and hurriedly arched her hand: "Sister Jinjiang." ”

Jin Jiang returned the salute, looked at him and said with a smile: "I heard that there is an intern in Lin Xiangye's office, and I still think that whose child has such a big face can be sent to her for an internship." I don't want to be the second master of Bao. ”

Daiyu also smiled: "Where is he an intern, but I'm just curious about how we usually do things." ”

Jin Jiang said: "Second Master Bao is smart, just look at it and understand." So he took his leave.

Baoyu couldn't help but sigh: "Sister Jinjiang seems to have changed as if she has changed. ”

"Huh?" Daiyu said casually, "Hasn't she always been like this?" Baoyu lowered her head, feeling stunned in her heart, and couldn't tell why.

After this whole day, although Jia Baoyu was ignorant, he vaguely understood many things. Lin Daiyu didn't have the time to care about him at all, and really used him as an intern for a day; Clearly, there was a person, and her secretaries were not relaxed for half a minute, and they were as busy as usual.

Jia Cong was busy asking about various situations all day long, preparing for a meeting tomorrow. Back in the courtyard, Chen Ruijin was not there, and it became more and more strange. At dinnertime, she was able to come back, and Jia Cong hurriedly asked, "But what happened?" ”

Chen Ruijin said: "It's nothing, just go out for a while." ”

Jia Cong looked at her and said, "Don't coax me, I'm not good at coaxing." ”

Chen Ruijin said: "It's really fine. Nai paused, lowered his head slightly, his eyebrows and eyes were comfortable, and the back of his neck was as white as a swan. I heard Chen Ruijin mutter, "By the way, someone will come to me in a few days." ”

"Huh?" Jia Cong shook his head.

"It's friends we used to grow up with." She blinked, "Alliance's." ”

Jia Cong suddenly took a breath of cold air! He told Chen Ruijin the story of Warcraft. He himself is a tribe, and he also told Chen Ruijin that the alliance is the opposite family. Chen Ruijin is obviously hinting that the "friend" he will find in a few days is not his own person. And he is still talking in code in his yard, I am afraid that I don't know which beam there is a former master who is eavesdropping. No wonder she wants to kill Concubine Hui! It's ghostly. Jia Cong hurriedly picked up her hand and squeezed it twice: "It turned out to be from the Alliance." Our tribe is the friendliest, and your friend is my friend. He blinked.

Chen Ruijin nodded with a smile: "She is one year older than me, and I often call her Sister Qiu." When we were younger, we were very nice, and she took good care of me, and I liked her tightness. ”

Bullshit! The two of them have been in love for so long, and it's not that they haven't talked about Chen Ruijin when he was a child, he has a hairy friend! It's like a machine, in addition to practicing, it's about learning skills. The classmates are all in a competitive relationship, either they make small trips with each other, or the well water does not interfere with the river water. And Chen Ruijin is a cold character, and he has never said a word of "like" to himself until now, and he even said that he likes others! I like her size! Shouldn't you like liking your boyfriend first? Jia Cong rolled his eyes several times in his heart, knowing that ten percent of the female guards of the alliance were eavesdropping, so he had to fake and say, "It must also be a beautiful night elf." ”

Chen Ruijin couldn't help but smile: "Exactly! He squeezed his hand as well. Jia Cong said that in his previous life, he had the Night Elves kill several times while playing games. "I am ten times stronger when I look less."

Jia Cong wanted to gag, but suddenly his heart was fascinated, and he said the most famous confession in this time and space: "No matter if the water is 3,000, I will only take one scoop to drink." ”
