mentioned that he went to Ping'an Prefecture to release a carrier pigeon, the compulsory education school and the university were properly arranged, most of the affairs in Beijing were handed over to Jia Xi, and the affairs of Rongguo Mansion were left to Jia Lan, and Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin were ready to leave. The day before www.biquge.info departure, Qi Guofu suddenly sent a thin letter. When I opened it, it was Chen Ruijin's birthday.
Jia Cong smiled: "Didn't they get the letter and know that we were leaving Beijing?" ”
Chen Ruijin took a look and said, "I know my birthday, but I don't know the time." Nai frowned slightly, "Looking at it roughly, it doesn't seem to be very good." ”
Jia Cong shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's just an hour." The world is so big, people are born every moment. You are very good, but the five elements lack me! The old man Wang Fu couldn't help but laugh when he listened, and raised his hand to pat him.
Jia Yu also reached out and took a look, and burst out laughing: "Does your family have a grudge against you?" ”
Chen Ruijin said lazily: "I don't want to give them silver, so I just complain." ”
Jia Yu said: "Your eight characters were given to Liu Dengxi back then, and there are them in the S.H.I.E.L.D. file, and I have checked them since I knew about the two of you." What's this...... Shi Chen slightly adjusted the idea for you. He blinked, "Life gives birth to a white tiger." ”
Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "Sick." Look at Chen Ruijin again, "Do you care about it yourself?" ”
Chen Ruijin's face darkened, and he said for a long time: "Don't care, leave them alone." ”
Jia Cong clapped his hands: "That's right." The opposite of love is not hate, it is ignorance. ”
Jia Yu knocked him: "Where did you come from such strange words." ”
Jia Cong blinked: "Secret! ”
Chen Ruijin suddenly put the tea cup away, turned around and left. Jia Cong shouted, "Why are you going? ”
She said, "Make up the dowry list!" Jia Cong laughed.
Two days later, Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin took people out of the city gate and went straight to Ping'an Prefecture, and a small servant took a thick letter and sent it to the eldest lord of Qi Guofu. The old man and the lady in Nafu fell ill that day.
rushed all the way to Ping'an Prefecture, Jia Cong was in a trance and had a bit of the taste of entering the film and television city of later generations. Taiwan's capital, especially the newly built Dajiala City, which has not yet had time to fill in people, already has a variety of simple style buildings, which are somewhat similar to later generations. Although Ping'an Prefecture is infected with many Taiwanese smells, the houses are still Chinese-style. However, the ground has been paved with concrete, street trees have been planted on the roadside, there are rest benches under the trees, patrolmen wearing uniforms similar to those of later generations, large blue and white signs can be seen everywhere, and there are public toilets with simple gender patterns painted on every street. The streets are full of merchants and hawkers, and it is very lively.
The two entered the Jiedu Embassy, and Gao Li personally led people out to greet them. Jia Cong pointed at Chen Ruijin and said bluntly: "This is my daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door." Chen Ruijin blushed slightly, and greeted Gao Li with a thousand blessings. Gao Li already knew that there was such a person, so he hurriedly praised a few times, and couldn't help but look at it a few times.
After greeting each other, they went inside and sat down. Jia Cong said: "Uncle Gao, it is difficult to start a business. Sister Lin's younger brother had just conquered the three big islands in the South Seas, and because King Yan intended to let them go to North America to fight, they had to withdraw to the country; There is a shortage of people in charge of the Nanyang side. If the brother-in-law can pass, he will replace Yang Heng. He is a pirate leader, and he is better than anyone else when it comes to robbery at sea. Moreover, cocoa beans are produced there, and Ping'an Prefecture is an important commercial town, so it is convenient to make this business bigger. ”
Gao Li smiled and said, "Good, good!" It's easy to do. ”
Jia Cong breathed a sigh of relief: "I am much more relieved to hear your old words." I'm afraid that my cousin will be reluctant to let his son go so far. ”
Gao Li coughed and said angrily: "I am a military general, how many years have I fought in the south and the north earlier, when did I not give an order from above and leave immediately?" His son Gao Hua snickered beside him, and Jia Cong glanced at Gao Hua blankly. Gao Li couldn't hold it anymore and laughed. Nai straightened his chest and said, "To tell you the truth, your third cousin has been prepared for a long time!" ”
"Huh?"
Gao Ying said with a smile: "Three or five years ago, I expected that he would have to go to the Malay Islands in the South Seas to take charge of things. In the past few years, I have followed my father inside and outside to learn to lead soldiers and learn directors, and I also found a few businessmen from Nanyang to learn some local dialect from others, and invited a lot of masters and officials to help manage things. ”
Jia Cong opened his mouth and stayed for a long time: "Huh? Brother-in-law! You're a god! Doudou was not born five years ago...... "Doudou is the youngest daughter of Gao Mang and Yingchun, four years old this year, and the nickname is still taken by Jia Cong.
Gao Mang smiled: "It's just a guess." Ping'an Prefecture is the most prosperous in commerce, and I know better than others how important the Strait of Malacca is. Taiwan's capital is in the south, and it is an island, so it will be a matter of time before you fight that block. ”
"How did you guess it would come and invite you?"
Gao Mang said: "Those people in Taiwan naturally have to fight this piece and have to go to the next piece." Who better fit than me? I'm your brother-in-law. ”
Jia Cong stroked his palms and smiled: "Oops! This brother-in-law is really close! Please, brother-in-law! ”
Gao Mang smiled: "You just said something to give me an official." ”
Jia Cong said: "According to international practice, it should be called the governor." ”
Gao Li thought for a while: "There are three big islands in that area, and it is appropriate to call it the governor." "Secretly rejoicing inside." The power of the Governor is so great that it is by no means comparable to that of an ordinary prefect.
The matter was easily decided, and Gao Mang accompanied Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin to see Yingchun inside. On the way, Gao Mang whispered: "You are the sister who guessed that you were going to the Malay Archipelago." She didn't want to be eye-catching, so I said it was my guess. ”
Jia Cong said: "This is Ping'an Prefecture, and she is a woman, you guess more than she guesses." You are two people, and everyone guesses the same. Secretly praised inside: My sister is worthy of my Jia Cong's own sister!
It turned out that this errand was originally written to Jia Cong by Yingchun himself. When Jia Cong received the letter, he also thought that it would be more suitable for the Taiwan government to have no one else. Only now did I know that the co-author Jia Er Girl had been arranged five years ago. first persuaded her husband to go to Nanyang sooner or later, and then asked him to learn some useful skills from his father-in-law, and prepared all kinds of manpower. When Nanyang came down, she ordered her brother to invite his man to go to Malay to take charge. In this way, in front of Gao Mang, she Jia Yingchun became a god operator, and in front of Gao Li, Gao Mang became a god operator, and everyone was really a bunch of chess pieces in front of her.
When I arrived at the courtyard where Gao Mang lived, Yingchun was leading people to pack up their things, and when he saw a few of them, he looked back and smiled: "Come?" "The eyebrows and eyes are as gentle as ever.
Jia Cong took Chen Ruijin's hand and stepped forward and shouted, "Sister! He raised the hand they were holding again, "Come and see my brother and daughter-in-law!" Chen Ruijin was so ashamed that Feixia lowered his head.
Yingchun said angrily: "The girl is embarrassed." ”
"It's fine!" Jia Cong looked at Chen Ruijin and said, "You're not ugly, are you still afraid of seeing your sister-in-law." Chen Ruijin secretly gave him an elbow.
At this moment, Tuan Tuan Doudou ran out, dragging the placket of Yingchun's clothes behind him. Jia Cong squatted down: "Two little babies! Come and have a look at my uncle. ”
Tuan Tuan was bold, took his sister and walked two steps, tilted his little head and asked, "Are you uncle?" ”
"Yes!" Jia Cong said, "I am my uncle." ”
Tuan Tuan looked at him again and muttered, "It's not fat." ”
Jia Cong turned his head and looked at his sister and brother-in-law complainingly, and coughed: "Uncle was a little fat when he was so old with Tuan Tuan, but now he has lost a lot of weight." ”
Doudou said on the side: "Actually, it's still fat!" It's just not as fat as Maitreya Buddha. Gao Mang laughed.
Jia Cong looked at his nephew and nephew's daughter with a tense face: "You two have such a big misunderstanding of your uncle's handsomeness!" Uncle has to think about whether he won't give it next year's birthday gift! ”
The two children shouted in unison: "Uncle is so thin!" The crowd laughed.
Nai went back to the room and talked about the serious things in Nanyang for a long time, and Gao Mang knew that their sister and brother must have something to say, so he took the child out; Chen Ruijin avoided the door.
Jia Cong took a sip of tea and looked at Yingchun and said, "Sister, did something happen five years ago?" Why didn't you tell me? ”
Yingchun lowered his head and smiled: "You little clever ghost." Nothing...... It's not my business. ”
"Whose business is that?"
Yingchun sighed lightly: "It's Shu'er." ”
Back then, Gao Hua's daughter Gao Shu often came to her yard to play. At first, she just got her mother's order, and after a while, she thought about it herself. The rules of this yard are looser, and the spring temperament is soft and knowledgeable, and Gao Shu is often reluctant to go back. One day five years ago, Gao Shu suddenly rushed to the Spring Festival Courtyard as if fleeing for her life to look for a place to hide.
Yingchun stood up and asked, "What's going on?" And he saw that her clothes were worn out in several places.
Gao Shu cried: "Please auntie, don't tell my mother!" ”
Yingchun pulled her and said, "It's not a matter of hiding. Can you hide for a while, can you hide for a lifetime? ”
Gao Shu said: "Hide until my father comes back, I will beg him to go!" ”
Yingchun said: "Don't be afraid. "I ordered someone to close the courtyard door, and Gao Shu was really a little relieved." Just tell me what's going on, and I'll think for you. ”
After Gao Shu finished crying, Yingchun was dumbfounded: "There is such a thing!" ”
It turned out to be Gao Shu's mother, Gu Shi, who didn't know who she had heard, saying that if the girl had a pair of small feet, she would be better than anything else when she was looking for a son-in-law, so she ordered someone to bind Gao Shu's feet! Gao Shu was only nine years old at that time, and she was stupid when she heard the foot-bound grandmother! She was very well-behaved and obedient, and lied that she was going to solve the problem, and Gu believed it. The foot-bound grandmother obviously didn't believe it, and glanced at her with her eyes, and wrote on her face: I only let you hide for a while, and you won't be able to escape sooner or later. She didn't know where she got the courage and strength, she had never learned to climb a tree, she actually climbed over the courtyard wall from the poplar tree behind the latrine, took her sleeves and pants and grinded the outer wall step by step, and ran to her third aunt's yard.
Yingchun listened and smashed the teacup in his hand: "How can this be true!" She shouted, "Xiu Tang, go and ask Grandma Hua Er to come over." ”
Gao Shu suddenly knelt down in fright: "Auntie! I don't bind my feet! ”
Yingchun hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms and hugged her: "Don't bind your feet!" No foot binding, of course! Your aunt will persuade your mother not to bind your feet. ”
Gao Shu's heart fell to the ground after hearing this. was about to cry loudly, Tuan Tuan watched his mother hugging his cousin, the young man was unhappy, and bumped into him like a small group: "Mother~~Hutuan~~"
Yingchun laughed and laughed, and hurriedly hugged him too: "Just hug your sister for a while." "Look at Gao Shu again - where are you embarrassed to be jealous of a two-year-old doll? It made him so choked that he couldn't cry.
For a while, it was rumored that Hua Er's grandmother was here, and Yingchun asked Gao Shu to take Tuan Tuan to play, and Tuan Tuan hugged his mother's neck and didn't leave. There was no way, so Gao Shu could only hide in the wing room by herself.
Gu Shi only entered the door and sat down, and Yingchun said bluntly: "Sister-in-law, do you want to bind Shu'er's feet?" Where did you hear the gossip? If the girl of our military clan is entangled in her feet, won't the old man be angry? ”
Gu Shi was stunned: "What do you have to do with the old man?" ”
Yingchun said: "Since ancient times, civil and military classes have been different. Our Rongguo Mansion is also from martial arts, although the girls in our family also learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, embroidery and poetry, they never bind their feet. It was made by some literati in the literary class, and ......," she said in a low voice, "The ladies in the south never bind their feet, but the women in the Qinglou almost all bind their feet. Gu Shi suddenly gasped. Yingchun returned to his usual tone and said, "Therefore, the girls of the martial arts family have always looked down on women with bound feet. Have you ever seen a woman from a general's house binding? Don't even tie your feet to a married daughter-in-law, saying that the next plate is unstable, like an unstable position, is the most unlucky. ”
Gu Shi was so frightened that he stroked his chest: "How do I know this!" Lose brother and sister, you say and listen to me. ”
Yingchun said: "A few days ago, Shu'er read a book of Song Dynasty gossip with me, and it actually mentioned a piece of the literati playing with the little feet of the fans in Gusupin, and asked me by the way. I told her that it was the Song Dynasty, and the fans of my dynasty were also bound to their feet. Fang Ke scared her, and thought you were going to sell her. ”
Gu Shi hurriedly said: "Nonsense! I am her own mother, even if I am mistaken, how can it not be for her good? ”
Yingchun persuaded: "Second sister-in-law, you also discuss such a big matter with others, don't be bluffed by outsiders who don't know how to do it." Today's world has changed, and it has long been the martial arts that have suppressed the literary practice. Besides, if the old man is angry with the second master......"
Gu sighed: "Doesn't he have to sprinkle it on me when he turns his head?" The goblins in the West Courtyard are getting more and more rampant. ”
Yingchun nodded: "It's good that you understand it in your heart." ”
The matter was resolved, and Gao Shu went back to her home safely and was not punished by her mother. On the contrary, Yingchun thought about a lot of things. She lived comfortably in the Gao family; But every time I read the letter from the south, I can't help but envy Yuan Chun Tanchun and other sisters for showing their talents, and regret that they spend time. Although Ping'an Prefecture is rich, it is not as free as Taiwan. At that time, she already had Doudou in her belly. Even if you don't know men and women, you can't keep it as a girl? Her daughter naturally won't live like Gao Shu's life, and she still can't get rid of the constraints of the world.
When Jia Cong got the first picture of the sea when he was a child, he specially mentioned the Strait of Malacca to his sisters and said, "I will take down this place sooner or later." Yingchun then thought that when his younger brother occupied the place, he would let her husband take charge of it, and she and her children could take the opportunity to leave the Gao family. Even if this is not a daughter in the womb, it is better to go out. The child was born the following year, and it was really a daughter. Yingchun became more and more determined to take her out of Ping'an Prefecture.
Jia Cong let out a sigh of relief after hearing this: "I want to feel sorry for the hearts of my parents all over the world again." ”
