Jia Cong sent the imperial doctor to Gaofu, because they were going to stay here until the spring and after giving birth, the Gao family simply cleaned up a small courtyard near Gaomang's courtyard and settled. Gao Li led Jia Cong to the barracks to play.

Unlike last time, now that Jia Cong has his own army, he has changed from watching the excitement to watching the doorway, and he keeps asking Gao Li for advice along the way. Gao Li knew from listening to his question that this kid must have his own people in the south, and he couldn't help but be indignant: "It seems that it will be the world of your young people." ”

Jia Cong didn't hide it, but said enviously: "No matter how clever you are, it's useless, and the old pawns have to rely on war training." Now that there is no fighting, it is difficult to practice bloody experience. Besides, there are too few people, and they don't dare to train too violently on weekdays, for fear of damage. ”

Gao Li said: "Nonsense! With a small number of others, how can the training not be fierce? What's the use of not being fierce? Aren't you still fighting with some small country in the south, even if you don't pay the military salary, you can help the prince of Nan'an for a while, just as a military training. ”

Jia Cong smiled: "Now you can sue sù people." Huo Sheng did not dare to return to Beijing for fear of chaos in the DPRK, so he only relied on the south. The battle was already over. ”

Gao Li said "oh": "I said, even if he is young, the people under his grandfather are not vegetarians, why haven't they won for so long." He added, "If you want to train your troops, you don't have to wait for someone to call. You can also hit others. ”

Jia Cong's eyes lit up, and he high-fived: "That's right! How I didn't expect that! Dongying Kingdom is not far from us, and since the Ming Dynasty, there have been many Japanese invaders. Hit them and go! ”

Gao Li said: "How many of you are there? ”

Jia Cong said: "Several places add up to about 5,000, and they are all still recruits. ”

Gao Li frowned: "That's the idea." ”

Jia Cong sighed: "There are only two million people on the whole island, and it is only the number of people in three capitals. Nowadays, it takes manpower to open up wasteland and build roads, and we don't have a few generals. Besides, raising soldiers is too expensive. "Armor and swords and bows. Crossbows and Western fire. Guns and soldiers are paid more than the Imperial Guards.

Gao Li said: "Since there are few people, they are becoming more and more refined, and they can't train strong soldiers without fighting." There are many small countries and pirates in the south, and they can all go to fight. If you take down the pirate's den, there will be a lot of loot. It's a pity that I don't have a navy here, otherwise I would have fought with you. ”

Jia Cong said "oops": "How did I forget!" ”

"Forgot something?"

Jia Congxi said: "Although I don't have any soldiers and horses, Huo Sheng does!" ”

Gao Li said: "Huo Sheng's people are not yours, do you want to swallow them?" ”

Jia Cong shook his head: "No." I've been thinking about it, the coastline is extremely long, and it is too difficult to prevent it, and at most it can treat the symptoms. It's better to simply beat the Dongying Kingdom, so that the Japanese on the sea have become a tree without roots and a source of water, so that the root cause can be cured. I have too few people, and I can only fight guerrilla warfare. There are so many sailors in Lingnan, drive over to fight! It is a great thing to benefit the country and the people, and to stabilize the country and the country. "It can also destroy a great enemy for future generations.

Gao Li said: "He may not be willing to go. ”

Jia Cong smiled: "He is willing." In the past, I was not willing to do so, but now I must be willing. Let him snatch it, and if he grabs it, it will be his. Yes, yes! Why didn't I think of it earlier! ”

Since ancient times, war money has been the best way to make money. This is an extremely barbaric way of acquiring wealth, to put it bluntly, it is a large-scale robbery by the regular army, a natural enemy of civilization, and it is impossible to describe its evil in a single language. But it's an inevitable way to build wealth. Peaceful compatibility between civilizations, provided that the strength is comparable; Later generations generally thought that Europeans were quite civilized, and the European people had undisguised pride and yearning for the Crusades. It is a crime for robbers to rob one's own country, and it is a crime for the army to rob other countries. In the present era when there is no peace between countries at all, initiating a foreign prestige is an excellent way to avoid domestic bargaining among the princes.

Jia Cong clenched his fists: "I hope Situ Pan listens to me." ”

"Huh?"

Jia Cong raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's nothing, I thought of an idea that is extremely beneficial to the country and the people." If the little nephew's eloquence has not regressed, it is no problem to recite it through the ages. ”

Gao Li looked at him and said, "Your aunt and grandmother said a long time ago that you will be able to live forever." ”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Borrow my aunt's good words." The two looked at each other and tacitly patted their horses forward.

On this day, they stayed in the barracks for a whole day, and when they returned home for dinner in the evening, Gao Hua suddenly pulled Jia Cong and said, "Cong'er, my brother entrusts you with something." Jia Cong smiled and asked what was the matter.

It turned out that Gao Hua had a concubine who was also pregnant, and the fetus was not very stable, so she wanted to ask the imperial doctor to help her.

Jia Cong sighed, remembering that before he came, Jia Huan told him to let the imperial doctor check the body of the female relatives of the Gao Mansion by the way, and to cheer for the good feelings of Yingchun Lala. Jia Cong responded at the time, but now he has forgotten to go to the Arctic Ocean. Then he thought for a while and said, "Second cousin Hugh blames the younger brother for thinking too much. The younger brother was originally a concubine, and there were a group of women in my father's backyard, and the younger brother also experienced a lot of things when he was a child. This time, I invited the imperial doctor for my sister, and there were seven months of pregnancy in October, plus confinement, they stayed in Gaofu for so long, so the younger brother originally intended to ask them to take the pulse and regulate the body and bones for the Gaofu women. ”

Gao Hua thought he didn't agree when he heard him say "Hugh blame" at first, but when he heard it, he seemed to have this intention, and he was overjoyed. I didn't want Jia Cong to arch his hand to him: "My cousin just said this, and I asked my second cousin-in-law to tell my sister." ”

Gao Hua was stunned: "Why bother." ”

Jia Cong said: "She is your eldest wife, and it is her responsibility for her sister-in-law to have an unstable pregnancy, so naturally she should worry about this matter, she can still have a virtuous reputation in vain, isn't it all four?" If I answer you directly, my sister-in-law has nothing to do with my sister, but my second cousin often corresponds with my sister, I'm afraid she will be unhappy. ”

Gao Hua smiled and waved his hand: "Where do you want to go!" Your second cousin is very virtuous, and she will definitely not complain about your sister because of this. ”

Jia Cong said in his heart, where am I afraid of her complaining, I am afraid that she will be angry and retaliate against my sister! He only smiled on his face: "Since the second cousin is virtuous, how can the second cousin ask her to come forward?" Don't blame the elder brother, the younger brother is only such a sister, and he doesn't dare to take the slightest risk. ”

Gao Hua saw that he was decisive, so he had to say, "That's it, I'll go back and talk to her." Cong'er, I see that you are doing well, and your father loves you, why are you so worried? Could it be your wife......"

Jia Cong said: "The eldest lady is good, she has never tried to deal with me, and then I got my father's liking and she treated me better." That's because she has nothing to do, and my mother left early. If she has a son, or the mother of the second brother is still there, I will live about the same life as Brother Huan. ”

Gao Hua was stunned: "Is Huan'er not doing well in your house?" ”

Jia Cong shook his head with a wry smile, and talked about Jia Huan's previous days for a while, and Gao Hua was dumbfounded when he heard it! Jia Cong said again: "It's not just the eldest wife who is so ruthless, but the little wife who is as ruthless." Nai told Huo Sheng's story again. Finally, he said, "In short, whether it is a big wife, a small wife, or a nameless outer room, women hate the children that their men have with other women, and they can't step on them with all their strength. When my sister was about to get married, I forced my brother-in-law to swear to sign and swear that no concubines would have sex with each other, and that she would not have illegitimate children outside. ”

Gao Hua was stunned for a long time, especially he couldn't believe it: "She is the eldest woman, even if the third child and the woman next to her raised a son, isn't it also her son?" ”

Jia Cong snorted: "That's the rules, it's superficial work, it's fake reads;!" The second wife is still the mother of Brother Huan. ”

Gao Hua said: "That's what she did wrong." ”

Jia Cong said: "Our eldest wife is very good to me, there is nothing wrong, but I have never honored her." I never bought anything for her when I went out to buy things, but I never missed the four sisters who were raised in our family in Dongfu. It's not that I can't bear those few pieces of silver, but I can't remember that there is still her at home. I don't have her bones, her blood. Cousin, there is a blood connection and there is no blood connection, two different things. In fact, he is worried about Xichun completely because he has had a sister-brother relationship since he was a child, but now that their family and the Gao family have this relationship, they must deepen the impression in Gao Hua's heart that "Cousin Cong is extremely heavy on bones and blood", so as to add some weight to the unborn niece and nephew.

Gao Hua was silent.

Jia Cong continued: "It's not that I refuse to sell my cousin's face. My sister is a thoughtful person, and if she upsets her second cousin, she will feel uncomfortable. The second cousin is the head of your family, and you ordered the second cousin to go and tell my sister that she didn't dare not go. ”

Gao Hua smiled bitterly: "Hearing you say this, she must be unwilling in her heart." ”

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "Nonsense! ”

Gao Hua sighed: "If I give birth to a son this time, do I have to be careful not to let the child be bullied?" ”

Jia Cong knew that the concubine would inevitably be favored when he looked at him, and said: "Since you say that your second cousin is virtuous, even if you don't feel happy in your heart, you don't dare to really do anything." Bear with me! ”

Gao Hua pondered for a moment, and sighed again: "The second wife in your house, didn't you also say that she was virtuous in her early years?" He shook his head and turned to go back.

Jia Cong also hurriedly ran to Gaomang's courtyard to tell Yingchun about it, and patted his head again: "Brother Huan reminded me, I didn't think about it at all!" Otherwise, yesterday they said that they would ask the imperial doctor to help them take a look, and the second cousin would bring it up in public! ”

I didn't want to welcome the spring because I was already an eldest woman at this time, so my mind naturally leaned towards the eldest woman, and I frowned: "I know that the green plum in the second room is pregnant." On weekdays, the second sister-in-law also asks for a doctor for her, so why do you need to pull the imperial doctor? I'm afraid that she is taking the opportunity to invite pets. ”

Jia Cong pursed his lips: "Taking the opportunity to invite pets is also people's ability, and if the second cousin-in-law has the ability, she can also invite them!" ”

Yingchun looked at him for a long time, shook his head and sighed: "That's it." So he kept silent.

Jia Cong sat beside him for a while and persuaded: "I guess my sister is about to be unhappy for her second cousin." What's the use of grievances? Any woman gives birth to a son who is the blood of the second cousin, and it is the same for the second cousin. ”

Yingchun shook his head again.

Jia Cong said again: "Relying on virtue to please men is useless." If the second cousin has a father, uncle, brother or nephew in the family, there is no need to please her, and the second cousin will never dare to treat her slowly; If not, and you want to please your second cousin, don't think that if you are the eldest wife, you are superior. How did Lamei please her second cousin, she did the same. Yan Baqiang grimaced and ran away. Yingchun's eyes widened behind him.

The next day, Gao Hua's wife Gu really came to Jia Yingchun and begged her to ask the imperial doctor to take a look at the pregnant concubine.

Yingchun looked at her and sighed: "Second sister-in-law, you have a ...... temperament."

Gu sat dignified and said with a smile: "Although her status is lower, after all, she is our father's child in her womb." ”

Yingchun thought about it again and again, and had the heart to say her brother's words yesterday, and finally swallowed it after a long time. "The second sister-in-law is really virtuous, so I will send someone to ask for the imperial doctor."

Gu Shi hurriedly thanked her. Seeing that Yingchun was full of concern, he couldn't help but redden, and for a long time, he shook her hand and said, "Where is your life......

Yingchun shook her hand and said, "Even if you have a life, you have to rely on your own strength." Rules are unreliable. Gritting his teeth, he actually said that Jia Cong was "virtuous and useless" when he was young.

Gu Shi was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and said: "The second master has said many times, and the cousin of the Jia family is extremely smart, and he really lives up to his words. ”

Yingchun said: "It's just that the rules can't be without." Hengzhu originally wanted to ask the imperial doctor to take a look at the body of the lady of the house, but no matter how he was, he couldn't look at her first. Not to mention the second sister-in-law, there are also wives and sisters-in-law. When it's your turn to go to your yard to look at your second sister-in-law, just take a look at her by the way. ”

Gu Shi wiped away his tears and smiled: "What the third brother and sister said is that I am still it, no matter how I can, I can't let her take the lead of his wife and sister-in-law." ”

Yingchun looked at her and smiled bitterly: "I spent so much tongue just now, is it in vain?" Why did I look at my second sister-in-law as if I had seen me in my early years! Second sister-in-law, even if she is in your yard, how can she let her go first. Second Master Hua only said that he would ask the imperial doctor to take a look at her, but he never said that he would look at her first. ”

Hearing this, Gu Shi hung his head for a long time and asked, "Did the third brother and sister have this temperament in their early years?" ”

Yingchun said: "Let's say that I am more cowardly than you by twelve points, but I only dare to endure the bullying of my subordinates at that time." ”

Gu Shiqi said: "Why did you become what you are now?" ”

Yingchun said with a smile: "Cong'er came out for me and sent away all those tricky rebels." While the newcomer is not bold, whoever flatters me will give him a reward. The eyes of the subordinates are fascinated by money, and no one is willing to give me half an unsightly look, for fear of losing money. Later, he took advantage of the pregnancy of my second sister-in-law and forced me to plant the housekeeper matter. There are hundreds of people in our family! If you don't be strong, you can take care of it. I was forced to be the way I am. ”

Gu Shi sighed a few times and said enviously: "My life is hard, I don't have such a good brother." ”

Yingchun said: "I have the courage to persuade my second sister-in-law to be more polite today." Since there is no brother to be reliable, rely on yourself. I can be forced to be strong by the housekeeper's affairs, and Lumei is forced like this, and the second sister-in-law should also be strong. Even if it is not for the sake of others, it must also be for the sake of Shu'er. ”

Gu Shi suddenly burst into tears: "What is strong, the second master is just a housekeeper." Third brother and sister, why don't you make an idea for me? ”

Yingchun, a brother and daughter-in-law, where dare to come up with this idea? I had to pick up some words of encouragement to persuade each other, and after persuading for a long time, it was useless. For a while, Gu said goodbye, and Yingchun looked at her whereabouts and sighed.

Jia Cong went to the barracks again today, and came back in the evening. After eating, I ran to talk to Yingchun. Yingchun told the matter of the Gu clan and said, "Cong'er, why don't you think of a way?" ”

Jia Cong opened his mouth wide, so he didn't give himself a moment! Why didn't he talk to his sister beforehand? Because of Jia Huan's words in Beijing, he always felt that Gao Ying Gaohua's wife would be jealous of his sister's good life and not good for his sister. knew that she had a good relationship with Gao Hua's wife, and yesterday she shouldn't have said those words to cause Gao Hua to suspect his daughter-in-law. It's a bit hard to overturn. Then he had a headache and said: "Sister, I'm really not good at backyard affairs, you let me think about it." ”

Yingchun smiled: "You are smart and tight, you will definitely be able to come up with it!" After a while, he said, "I just said it casually, and I couldn't think of it." ”

Jia Cong smiled: "If you can't think of it, you can only do it, I'll do my best." "Jia Cong, the bear child of the Red Mansion
