Chapter 194
It is said that everyone in Taiwan is in Xiao. Xiangguan ignored and forced Wu You to escort Jia Xichun to various countries to peddle the technique of drying salt and growing grain, but the two of them refused, and they were pressed down by everyone. I had no choice but to go back and pack my bags. The day before seeing him off, everyone saw them off at the newly opened Pizza Hut Restaurant in Chengtian Mansion. Both of them promised at the banquet that this time they would cooperate and try their best to avoid quarrels; If you have to quarrel, you must not quarrel in front of outsiders; I can't even help it in front of outsiders, and I must not quarrel in front of important people such as the prince, princess, uncle, and father-in-law. There were unbelievers, doubtful and doubtful, but none of them believed.
The next day, the two wanted to set off, and first went to the prefect's yamen to pardon Jia Lian and resign. Yuan Chun was not at ease and followed. Seeing that the two of them were harmonious and respectful, and had a bit of a sense of business, he put his mind at ease. Jia Yu was a few years old, and there was a bit of nagging, and the two of them had to endure listening to the lesson; Yuan Chun found an excuse to go outside to talk to Fu'er. The aunt and nephew played Western poker for a while, and suddenly saw Ping'er hurriedly come over, and returned with a smile: "Big girl! The four girls and General Wu quarreled again! Yuan Chun was suddenly deflated, and muttered, "I knew that the two of them would not be able to live for half a day", and followed Ping'er.
I saw the two of them standing in the courtyard of Jia Yu and didn't know what they were fighting for, their faces were red, just like when they first arrived in Xiao. Xiangguan is general; Jia Yu and Jia Meng's ancestors and grandchildren each had a rattan chair, sitting on the side drinking tea and eating snacks to watch the excitement, and Jia Yu's concubine Cuiyun covered her mouth and stood behind. Yuan Chun sighed lightly and walked over: "What did you two say at Pizza Hut last night?" Forgot about it after just one night? ”
Wu You hurriedly said, "She quarreled first!" ”
Xichun immediately said: "Big sister! He was going to carry three chests of clothes and shoes! I didn't even bring any of that. ”
Yuan Chun looked at Wu You: "Just for such an idea of sesame mung beans?" ”
Wu You said: "I didn't dare to mess with the four girls, and I didn't occupy the carriage of the four girls." ”
Xichun said: "Let's go here to do business, we have to go a long way, bring so many clothes, do you want to get married?" ”
The people in the courtyard even laughed at the little girl who Jia Meng was waiting for.
Wu You was anxious: "I told you many times, there are clothes worn on the road on weekdays, there are people who pretend to be businessmen, there are clothes that pretend to be your housekeeper, there are clothes for the navy, there are night clothes, there are camouflage clothes, there are clothes for the special battalion that I got from Cheng Chi, and there are shoes that I wear on the flat roads in the water, and I wear them on the mountains and use them for climbing the wall......."
Xichun sneered: "Oh, you open a shoe shop!" ”
Yuan Chun hurriedly said: "Four girls, the world has not been peaceful in recent years, and the second girl has married and provoked many bandits to rob it!" General Wu was originally a soldier, so he naturally had to worry more about his safety. Not to mention, just General Cheng's side, none of them are useless. Didn't everyone sue you when we went to the special camp last time? ”
Xichun pursed her lips: "I don't remember much." ”
Wu You snorted: "I'm too lazy to quarrel with you!" Difference in profession makes one feel worlds apart. ”
Yuan Chun shook his head, and ordered them a few more words, and the two of them resigned to Jia Lian and went outside to see Jia Lian.
The two of them stepped out of the courtyard door, and Jia Meng jumped to Yuan Chun and pulled her shirt with a "slippery" sound: "Auntie! I sue you! The fourth aunt was not angry! ”
Yuan Chun squatted down and hugged him and asked, "Then why is your fourth aunt angry?" ”
Jia Meng pointed at Jia Yu: "Grandfather said that the county lord raised by the Bai family in Lingnan heard that Uncle Wu was going to go far away, and the envoy sent him an extremely rare hat!" It is said that it is very well dressed in the rain on horseback! ”
Yuan Chun smiled dumbly: "What are you doing with the uncle, you are going to get up today." ”
Jia Yu stroked his beard slowly: "I don't know when I will come back after this trip, and I will see if there is a good show after I come back." Besides, that's the truth, and I have to say it today if I don't say it yesterday. ”
Yuan Chun laughed and laughed.
The crowd sent him away, and on the way back, they bet each other where they could quarrel.
Wu Youjia Xichun and the two of them only left for a few days, and there was an urgent letter from Ping'an Prefecture, and it was a military newspaper that left! The correspondence between the Gao family and the Taiwan government was sent by Ma Xing, and when he heard that this was back from the military newspaper, everyone was shocked. Jia Cong hurriedly ran to the front to answer the letter. The door of the Hunan Pavilion was busily opened and took a look - it was a great happy event! Yingchun is pregnant. I couldn't help but scream.
The prefect's yamen was busy again, and Wang Xifeng personally ordered congratulatory gifts and medicinal materials sent to Ping'an Prefecture. Jia Cong couldn't wait for these things to slowly grind on the road, because he thought that medicine was not developed in these years, and it was extremely thrilling for a woman to give birth to a child, so he first flew back to Beijing to ask for an obstetric holy hand.
This time in Beijing, he has made a decision, and he doesn't need to hide it from others, so he came to the main gate of Rongguo Mansion with a face full of dust. When Jia Huan heard that he was coming, he stroked his palms and smiled: "What did I say?" When I got the letter from Ping'an Prefecture before, I knew that he couldn't bear to follow the carriage and horse slowly. ”
For a while, Jia Cong changed his clothes after grooming and went to see Jia's mother first.
Seeing that he was much darker than before, Jia Mu sighed twice and asked him how he was on the road, and everyone on the other side of Taiwan was okay; Jia Cong just picked up the good ones and said. She asked again, "Why did you suddenly return to Beijing this time?" But what's the matter? ”
Jia Cong said: "The second sister is happy, I want to invite two good doctors for her in Beijing, and invite a few capable midwives." ”
Mother Jia thought that he had come to Zhang Luo to marry King Xian for Yuanchun, but she was a little disappointed when she heard this, and said: "Her mother-in-law is in charge of this kind of thing, and if you are so stylish, others think that you can't trust her mother-in-law." ”
Jia Cong said: "Others have nothing to do with me, they like to think and think." Hengzhu's brother-in-law values his sister. ”
Jia Mu said: "You men don't know about the backyard. She also has two concubines. If you are a teacher and a teacher, you will make her unhappy and not get along well in the future, won't you hurt your sister? ”
Jia Cong smiled: "Although I don't know what the two cousins of the Gao family are like, my sister has never lived with them. Even if they are jealous, they always have to save face. No matter how bad it is, there is a brother-in-law. Rest assured, for the sake of the master, the second brother and me, the Gao family does not dare to treat my sister badly. It's really going to be bad, and the harmony is it. ”
Jia Mu reprimanded: "Nonsense! You don't have to be too arrogant, the Gao family is your sister's support for the rest of her life. ”
Jia Cong sighed: "Why do you always say that?" Ancestor, I have said this sentence to many people many times. My sister relied on me for the first half of her life, and her son for the second half of her life, and she didn't have a brother-in-law from beginning to end. As for the two cousins-in-law, who are their father and brother? If it was an unusual character, I already knew about it. ”
Jia Mu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the Shi family. A few days ago, she was a little cold with the Shi family because of her refusal to marry, and when she heard this, she also sighed, and ordered someone to pick up Xiangyun to live for a few days.
Jia Congnai went to see Jia Zhengbaoyu and others again. Because he knew that he and Jia Huan must have many things to discuss, he did not go to see him first, and returned to the courtyard of the big house. Mrs. Xing led Han Quan up to salute him: "Huan'er said that I have sent a letter to you, and I have accepted a son." ”
Jia Cong said: "I received the letter, congratulations to my wife." It turned out to be him. The last time he saw this child, he was stunned by Jia Huan, and now it is the first time he has seen him awake, and he pulled him up with a smile and looked at him for a long time, seeing that he was behaving in a proper manner, but there was a little excitement in his eyes, and said, "Such a small urine is so Sven, and he will be a well-educated person in the future." Madam, we don't know how to study in the big house yet, but it just so happens that we have him. ”
Mrs. Xing smiled from ear to ear and said, "Don't look at him as small, he can already write a lot of words!" It's stronger than when you were your age. ”
Jia Cong waved his hand again and again: "Don't mention me, wife, I practiced for many years when I was a child, and I couldn't practice well." Besides, I want to be a general in the future, so I can recognize a few words and don't be blind. Then he pulled the boy and said, "Three or four years old, right?" ”
Han Quan said obediently: "Back to my brother, I'm about to turn four years old." ”
Jia Cong said: "Are you still a little afraid of life at this time? Brother Ming'er will take you to play, and you won't be afraid of life when you play. ”
Mrs. Xing hurriedly said, "Don't take him into the wild!" ”
Jia Cong said: "The boy's body is not good. The wife saw that the two brothers in the second room were not wild, and their health was not good; Lan'er is a little wilder, and her body is much stronger than Brother Zhu and Brother Baoyu. Look at Brother Huan again, the pen can be used to kill the enemy. Seeing that Mrs. Xing's expression was a little relaxed, he smiled again, "It's easier to do family affairs if you are in good health, the three brothers in the second room, Brother Baoyu is going to set Sister Shi, the Shi family is the Hou Mansion after all, but the sister-in-law Zhu can't compare; Brother Zhu is still the eldest son, and he is the weakest. ”
Mrs. Xing sneered: "That's the old lady who loves Baoyu, and the family naturally finds it for him, and it has nothing to do with the body and bones." ”
Jia Cong said: "Brother Huan's family affairs are better, and the old lady always doesn't care about him." ”
Mrs. Xing hurriedly asked, "Is the ring boy married?" ”
Jia Cong blinked: "Although it hasn't been decided yet, it's almost inseparable, our master is the master." The horizontal and vertical status is much higher than that of the Shi family's sister. He knew that Mrs. Xing's mouth was broken, and this was the sincerity to put down the words first, which caused people in the house to discuss and speculate. After all, Princess Jian'an once hooked up with Jia Baoyu.
Mrs. Xing snorted: "Master is really, since it is an excellent family affair, why don't you keep it?" ”
Jia Cong smiled: "Madam! What kind of character am I, where are I willing to want a girl from a high background? Brother Huan is so honest, he won't retaliate against him if he bullies him occasionally. ”
Mrs. Xing thought about Jia Cong's unbearable temperament, and said with a smile: "You are a monkey who ignites the fire in a hurry." ”
Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "I'm in a hurry to come back, and I haven't prepared a gift." Nai casually took something from his waist, "This is the early years of playing tricks with the master, you can take it and play with it." ”
Han Quan thanked him and took it, took it in his hand and looked at it, and was shocked! It turned out to be a warm and delicate mutton fat white jade pendant, exactly the same as the one he hid himself! "This ...... This ......"
Mrs. Xing saw it on the side, and knew that the pendant must be worth a lot of money, and thought that Han Quan was surprised that the thing was too good, and said happily: "Since your brother gave it to you, you can accept it." ”
Jia Cong said: "This is exactly the same pair, I want to come, and one is for Brother Huan." ”
Han Quanxiao's face suddenly felt a little sad, and he muttered, "It turns out that it is not a unique thing in the world. ”
Jia Cong looked at him and said, "Why isn't it unique? Everything in the world is unique. Even if the two pendants were hewn from the same piece of jade, made by the same jade craftsman with the same set of utensils and the same hands, each one is unique. ”
Han Quan finally returned to his youth, and he didn't understand such twists and turns, but fortunately, he was more sensible than ordinary children, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Little brother has no intention of looking down on him." ”
Jia Cong knew that what he said by "unique" meant that he was hanging on his own neck, so he smiled and rubbed his head: "Where do children under the age of four come from so much thought!" While you're still young, there's an adult here. ”
Mrs. Xing didn't understand what the two brothers were doing, she only knew that Jia Cong was a promising person and liked Han Quan, so she hurriedly broke away.
Han Quan was still obedient and small, but his eyes were a little less bright.
After talking for a while, Jia Cong said that he was going to look for Jia Huan, and Mrs. Xing pulled him and whispered: "There is something, I thought about it, it is better to talk to you." Huan'er may not know. ”
Jia Cong hurriedly asked what was the matter.
Mrs. Xing said: "A few days ago, the second master led Baoyu to meet your Mr. Su, saying that he wanted him to worship Mr. Su as a teacher. ”
Jia Cong couldn't help but laugh: "Just dream in the blue sky and daylight!" If there is no Brother Huan, Mr. Su can still look at him twice, and now that Brother Huan is standing there to make a comparison, if Mr. Su can look at him, it will be dark. ”
Mrs. Xing smiled and nodded, "I heard that I came back in a hurry, wilting like frosted eggplants." Later, the second master said to the old lady that the ambition of the second master was different from that of Mr. Su, and he refused to apprentice, and Mr. Su regretted it very much. ”
Jia Cong rolled his eyes and said, "You always have to find a step down, it's understandable." ”
"Isn't it?! Who wouldn't have guessed that the gentleman looked down on him? Mrs. Xing became more and more excited, and her eyebrows fluttered. Who knew that the old lady was really screwed, and I don't know why I didn't want to let Mr. Su go! Tell the second master, when the first emperor was at the funeral, Mrs. Su and Miss Sun of the Su family lived in our house for a while, and she saw that Miss Su was very good and liked it tightly. ”
Jia Cong was stunned and opened his mouth wide: "No! Cheng girl is a generation later than us, calling us uncle! And let the three of us brothers get used to it...... Does she want to ask for Baoyu's brother? Then Brother Baoyu has to call Brother Huan Uncle Uncle? ”
Mrs. Xing waved her hand: "No! Isn't there a Lan'er in the second room? She is one year older than Miss Sun. ”
"Poof-" Jia Cong couldn't help but laugh.
Mrs. Xing smiled as if she had gained a lot of money, clapped her hands and said, "But daydreaming, isn't it?" I don't want to think about it, how big an official is Master Su, where can I look down on Lan boy! ”
Jia Cong said: "Let's go, let's go, it's good that her old man is happy, let her think about playing, and she doesn't have to pay taxes when she dreams horizontally." Even if the second uncle has a hole in his brain, it is impossible for him to really ask for a kiss. In previous years, our brothers often struggled to coax our ancestors, but now we also let the second uncle coax her to go, and everyone works hard, and no one wants to be lazy. ”
Mrs. Xing just laughed beside her.
Jia Congnai said: "Madam, let's just close the door and talk about it as a joke, but don't leak it out for others to hear." Although it is the face of the old lady and the second room, it will lose the face of our house outside. ”
Mrs. Xing hurriedly said: "Where will outsiders hear, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, right?" ”
Jia Cong hugged his fists with a serious face and said, "Mrs. Shengming!" It made Mrs. Xing laugh more and more happily.
He then said goodbye and went straight to Jia Huan's courtyard. Jia Cong, the bear child of the Red Mansion
