On this day, Jia Huan got out of school and returned to the courtyard to see Aunt Zhao, and the girl Xiaoque said back and forth: "Third master, the eldest girl has just gone out today, and someone has come to the eldest girl's house, and the eldest girl invites the third master to go." ”

Aunt Zhao sneered: "Our eldest girl entered the palace in a majestic manner, and my wife said that she wanted to be a mother, but now she is gray and slippery to let the family go back to her mother's house." ”

Jia Huan frowned, turned his head and said, "Auntie, the eldest sister is for a few of our brothers to snatch it back." ”

Aunt Zhao pursed her lips and stretched out her hand to poke his fingers: "You and Cong'er are also two fools, what are you doing to rob her in a good way, and you don't eat the rice at home for nothing." ”

Jia Huan knew that she had a grudge against Mrs. Wang and implicated Yuan Chun, so she sighed secretly, and only said: "Aunt these words must not be heard by others, because my reputation is not good." ”

Aunt Zhao smiled: "I know, when others come to me, I only say that you care about her." ”

Jia Huan nodded: "Acting horizontally and vertically is for people to see." Then he went to Yuanchun.

Yuan Chun returned to Rongguo Mansion, and all kinds of clothes and jewelry were added, but he was still used to being plain. Jia Huan smiled: "Why does the big sister need to look like this, I almost thought I had met Sister Xue in the early years." ”

Yuan Chun hurriedly called him to sit down, smiled indifferently and did not answer. When the girl came up with tea and took a sip, Nai Zhengse said, "I thought about it all night last night." At my age, I'm afraid I can't do anything good if I want it, unless I fill the house with others, and I don't know how many children there are in front of me. Recently, I have listened to the meaning of my ancestors, and I am bent on looking forward to me entering the Gaomen palace again and becoming a nobleman. It's just that I don't want to live like that anymore. It's better to just leave home. The family scholar temple is originally a heavy land, if it is chaotic, even a few of your children know about it, how can it not be cured? I'm a woman, and I'm inconvenienced in every way. If you leave home, you will leave your identity as a woman, and you and a few of your capable brothers will support you, and it is unknown whether you can manage it or not. ”

Jia Huan said with a smile: "It's naturally good for the eldest sister to go to the family scholar temple to govern, but she can't really become a monk." Since it is a family scholar temple, it originally belongs to our family, and the people of our family take care of it. Sister Ancestor doesn't have to mind, she doesn't count what she says now. As for my sister's big things, I just stayed for a few days, and I wasn't afraid that there would be no visionary person. The capital is big, where do you want my sister to be someone's house? Why worry. ”

Yuan Chun shook his head: "You are still young, you don't know." ”

Jia Huan said: "I like to go with the flow the most. If my sister thinks that she has to borrow the identity of a monk, she can just use it. It's just that since it is borrowed, if there is a very suitable sister and wife with a character and personality, how about returning it quickly? ”

Yuan Chun was stunned and sighed: "How can there be such a person......

Jia Huan snorted: "If you don't believe it, wait and see." ”

When he said this, there was a little hesitation in his abdomen. From the palace to the palace, Yuanchun's experience has been extraordinary; has such a talented family background. The right person is as she said, the only way to fill the house is to fill the house; The small family is afraid that Jia's mother and Jia Zheng will not agree. Now I have to take one step at a time.

Later, he came out and told Jia Cong about the matter, and Jia Cong smiled and said: "It's okay to let her go and straighten things out, and see if the big sister still has the ability to do it." Then he consulted with Jia Yu. Jia Yu didn't have any such things in his heart, and only said, "You guys are free to play." "That's the handover.

Yuan Chun got the approval of his brothers and went to tell Jia's mother, wanting to get rid of the status of the concubine of the palace by taking the hair to practice. Jia's mother praised it repeatedly, and immediately sent someone to Shuiyue Nunnery to tell the old sister-in-law that she was empty. When he heard the news, he was overjoyed, and recited the Buddha: "The God of Wealth is here." "Rushed the sister-in-law of a nunnery to work together, cleaned up a small courtyard and waited for Yuanchun to come.

Jia's mother thought that she should not be too ostentatious when she went to the nunnery, so she only added two serving daughters-in-law for Yuanchun, and prepared some clothes and wooden fish and the like. Yuan Chun only said that this matter was quiet, but Jia Mu said, since it is to be seen by others, why not make it bigger? chose an auspicious day, Jia Mu led Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Li Kun, and Wang Xifeng, and sent Yuanchun to Shuiyue Nunnery in a mighty dozen cars, which provoked countless idlers to watch along the way. When I arrived at the Water Moon Temple, I had already prepared for the next thing, and it was a vigorous scene. Yuan Chun temporarily entered the empty door to lead the practice.

Who knew that not long after Jia Mu and the others left Shuiyue Nunnery, Lan Xiang came outside again. He said to Yuan Chun: "Big girl, our lord said, this place is remote, I'm afraid there are some thieves or something, he specially selected some mothers-in-law for the eldest girl to come to the yard." Yuan Chun raised his eyes and saw that there were twelve sturdy mothers-in-law, all of them around forty years old, with thick arms and legs, but honest faces. Lan Xiang said, "Some of them work in the mansion, and some of them go to the Zhuangzi temporarily. It's no problem to hit an ordinary man horizontally. Our lord said that when the eldest girl encounters something inappropriate, he directly orders them to fight. ”

Yuan Chun smiled: "It's just an antang, what's wrong." And he took it.

Since then, she has been closed in the nunnery, reading books and playing the piano every day, and living peacefully. Jingxu was not an honest monk. The sister-in-law in her nunnery had a lot of cheating with some gentlemen, because she could add more incense money, and the purity was naturally blind to one eye. He also pulled some channels for others to arrange lawsuits, or asked for some news from the sidelines. Because Yuanchun just came, she didn't know the depth, so she took all the mess. After a few days, seeing that she didn't leave the hospital at all, she gradually relaxed her heart, and those old things quietly came out again. That's for later.

On the other side, a letter from Gong Kun came from Ma Xing, and he was going to go back to Lingnan with Beringen and the county lord to see Hong Kong in real terms. Jia Cong originally wanted to discuss the assassination with him; In the early years, he said that he wanted to make up the pinyin password but he didn't. I really didn't dare to write black and white for such a big thing, so I had no choice but to temporarily catch the ducks on the shelves and make it up. He first wrote an ordinary letter, only telling the stories of Beijing these days, and then wrote that he had found a few Western gentlemen to teach and interesting. and asked Gong Kun to guess what the first paragraph of English meant. He copied a few verses of the English lyrics "re" from later generations. A line of lyrics, a line of pinyin secret letters, lyrics and superstition are cross-written. The content of the secret letter was to ask him to instigate Bai Lingen to simply stab the governor of Liangguang to death. It took a little more nonsense to finish. He ordered Ma Xing to send this letter to Gong Kun without mentioning it.

A few days later, news came from Luo Tainiang that someone was going around to inquire about the Kyoto Avengers, saying that they wanted to do business with them. Jia Cong just said it that day, but he didn't expect that there was really business sent over, and he was afraid that Jia Rong dug a pit for him, so he asked Luo Tainiang to find out who this person was. It didn't take long for Luo Tainiang to find out about the matter, but it was also a little embarrassing.

That person was a gentleman who was eating wine with Jia Rong at Yingge Niangzi's house that day, surnamed Jiang Mingzirong, and was the grandson of the Marquis of the Plains. Now their house has long been separated, and it is his cousin Jiang Zining who is in charge.

Jiang Zirong didn't like to study and refused to practice martial arts since he was a child, he only made money in the Hualou wine shop every day, and when he split up the family, he didn't get a lot of money, and his mother didn't care about him. He originally had a fellow disciple Xuan, who was smart and lovely since he was a child, and was very liked by his family. Jiang Zirong once laughed with others, I am useless, but I can't guarantee that I can be the champion brother.

Who knew that one day, Zixuan Gongzi came back from home school to wander around the streets, and met someone on the road who led people to run horses on the street. To see that he was going to kick a passer-by, the kid grabbed it and pulled the passer-by away, and scolded a few more angrily. The runner who was running on the street heard it, and when he came back, he couldn't help but say that he had whipped him. Jiang Zixuan came back from school, and he only had a scholar with him, but he led a group of family members, and he beat people at all. Poor Jiang Zixuan was only an eleven-year-old child, and no one had ever touched a finger of him since he was a child, but he was beaten! I got sick when I got home. But half a year, the people are gone. Jiang Zirong and his mother were like losing their lives, and they wanted to fight a lawsuit with that person and let him pay for his life.

After the funeral, Jiang Zining suddenly ordered someone to bring them 300,000 taels of silver, saying that the person paid for it. It turned out that the one who was running on the street was Niu Jiyao, the grandson of Zhenguo Niu Qing, and the Niu family heard about it, and they were very annoyed that Jiang Zining was a middleman, and for the sake of the face and favor of the two families, they wanted to take the money privately. Jiang Zirong was willing to agree, and he and his mother went to the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion at the same time. It's a pity that he is incompetent and ordinary, and his mother is an ordinary woman, so Jiang Zining persuaded him to live and die like a river, saying that people can't be resurrected after death, so why bother to offend people? I just took it seriously.

However, after half a month's effort, Jiang Zirong and his mother both regretted it and wanted to send the silver back. However, when it came to the lawsuit, Jiang Zining had already taken advantage of the situation, and used the posture of the patriarch to suppress them from messing around, and finally threatened to expel the clan. The two of them were gone. The longer the days go, the more I regret it, and I regret that my intestines are broken for many knots, and the mother and son often wash their faces with tears. Until now, Jiang Zirong can only get drunk every day and coax his younger brother to die of an ordinary illness.

A few days ago, he heard Jia Cong and them say at Yingge's lady's place, "Except for those with the surname Tianjia, they dare to beat them", and immediately moved his mind, and then asked around.

When everyone in Lixiangyuan heard this, they all geared up, and they all said that this business was accepted!

Because Gong Kun was not there, Jia Cong went straight to see Liu Feng.

Liu Feng thought for a while and asked, "I want to ask the third master, do you want this Niu Jiyao's life?" ”

Jia Cong was stunned: "I don't know." He didn't even injure someone's life by mistake, and he shouldn't have killed him on reason. It's just that I don't feel happy to let him go. To tell you the truth, I am the most cherished sibling. Although this Jiang Zirong is incompetent, he is affectionate. I regret it every day, and I'm willing to help him more. ”

Wu Xiaoxi said: "In my opinion, this Niu Jiyao really can't even hurt people's lives by mistake, he just killed people on the street." The third master only thought about the person that Uncle Xue killed in Jinling that day. ”

Jia Huan echoed: "Not bad! It wasn't a mistake, he did it on purpose. It's just that the person killed by Brother Xue died faster, and this Jiang Xiaoye dragged on for a few more days. In the end, it was all the way, and I didn't care about the life and death of others when I started. ”

Liu Feng looked at him and still hesitated, and said: "If the third master is undecided, let's ask someone to find out if this Niu Jiyao has committed anything else." ”

Jia Cong nodded and shook his head again: "No need. We are not the master of Baogong, so why bother with that thought. We are in business, ask the customer what he wants. If you want to beat someone, there is a price to beat, and if you want to die, there is a terrible price. ”

Liu Feng said: "It's okay." ”

After everyone dispersed, Liu Feng walked up to Jia Cong's side and whispered: "In the future, don't invite everyone to listen to such things." ”

Jia Cong was stunned.

Liu Feng said: "It's okay today, right and wrong are quite simple. In the coming day, if there is black and white that is difficult to distinguish, there will be many people. ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "We don't do business that is difficult to distinguish between black and white, and we don't have that spirit." But your words are reasonable, and in the future, we will no longer let everyone discuss together, just let us discuss a few things and make a decision and then talk to everyone. ”

Liu Feng nodded and said, "Good." ”

That night, they stuffed a letter into Jiang Zirong's house, asking him to come to a green house tomorrow night for a detailed discussion, so that he could just eat, drink and sleep as usual, and someone would come to look for him.

Jiang Zirong stayed in Liu Mianhua as an ordinary thing, and he often went to that Qinglou, so he ordered a familiar fan head to eat wine. Later, he couldn't bear to sleep, the pink head was already asleep, and he couldn't help but sleep on the third watch.

I don't know when, a cat came into the tent to shake Jiang Zirong awake. He opened his eyes in a daze, and when he saw the man in his night clothes and black scarf, he woke up in fright.

The man smiled: "Don't be cautious, this fan can't wake up for a while." ”

Jiang Zirong hurriedly got up.

The man simply sat cross-legged on their bed and said, "I'm the one in charge of negotiating money from the Kyoto Avengers." I heard you want to avenge your brother. ”

Jiang Zirong nodded again and again, gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "My enemy's name is Niu Jiyao, and he is the fourth child of the Zhenguo Mansion. ”

The man said: "In business, do you want to make him angry, or do you want his life." ”

When Jiang Zixuan heard that he could make the surnamed Niu pay for his life, he almost jumped out of bed and blurted out: "No matter how much money you have, I am willing to go bankrupt and borrow debts!" ”

Seeing what he said neatly, the man simply stretched out a slap: "500,000, a price." ”

Jiang Zixuan was stunned, and then nodded: "Okay!" ”

A smile appeared in the man's eyes: "You go back and prepare the money, get ready, and fly five swallow kites." He immediately got out of the tent.

Jiang Zixuan didn't expect it to be so fast, and he was a little stunned. When he understood and chased him out of the tent, the man was long gone. Where is he still sleepy? opened the window and wept uncontrollably in the wind, and read in his mouth: "Xuan'er, you wait." Although your brother is useless, he will avenge you one day. "Jia Cong, the bear child of the Red Mansion
