It is said that Yang Heng had already set sail to the West under the banner of "Hi Claw", and Jia Cong also gave a Western name "hydra", and tied up some Western scholars back by the way. Because of the news, some big customers wanted to see "Hi Claw", Jia Cong, Wu Xiaoxi and others were too young to dress up, so they instigated Jia Yu to get out of the horse.

Jia Yu also found it interesting, and went to the market to choose the clothes of the rich man, which made the children gossip and despise it. Coincidentally, these days, the south suddenly became cold, but he took out the lynx big fur brought from Beijing from the cabinet and let him wear it, and held a simple and generous hand stove, and the group went to Guangzhou.

Because he made an appointment with the guest to meet in a private room in a restaurant, Jia Yu and the others arrived first, and they all held their breath and pretended to be. At one moment, the buyer came, and he was also wearing a cloak of heavenly horse skin, and he was not inferior to Jia Yu in terms of magnificence, and he raised his eyebrows with a stiff face and swept it—the eyes of the people in the two times met, and they were all stunned. Jia Cong laughed out loud. The person who came was Huo Sheng, the king of Nan'an County, who was still a pirate in the south.

Jia Yu also pointed at him with a smile and said, "It turned out to be this kid, and you made me dress like a broad old man." ”

Jia Cong distinguished: "It's better than the one you picked out yourself." ”

Huo Sheng also felt amused, and said: "Recently, I heard that there is a Western firearms dealer named Hi Claw who has a very good background, and he has an important person in Beijing as a backer, and it turns out that he is a pardoner. ”

Jia Cong said: "Why Xiaohuo, do you want to buy firearms?" ”

Huo Sheng glanced at him: "You ask me?" Isn't that the map you gave me? ”

Jia Cong said "wow" twice, jumped up to the person and patted him on the shoulder: "Xiao Huo, we really have a spirit rhino!" I didn't write a word, you know what I mean? ”

Jia Yu asked, "What map?" ”

Jia Cong said: "I sent him a map of Dongying Kingdom and asked him to fight." Since we want to sell Western firearms, naturally someone has to fight, right? Otherwise, it is difficult to sell too many things. ”

Huo Sheng looked at him and said, "It turns out that you asked me to fight because you wanted to sell Western firearms?" ”

Jia Cong nodded: "Not bad." Naizheng said, "You see, Xiao Huo, you are young, and it is the time to get ahead. You are not only a prince, but also a prince of the opposite sex, and it is a little troublesome to get ahead. At the end of the day, what men want is nothing more than fame and money. For hundreds of years, the Dongying Japanese invaders have disturbed our borders and killed our people, if you can dig out their nests, their fame will be around the corner. ”

Huo Sheng glanced at him: "Is it so easy for you to fight?" None of the grain, grass, soldiers, and soldiers burn money. ”

Jia Cong grinned: "There are emperors and nobles in Dongying. Where there are emperors and nobles, there must be concentrated wealth. You have an excellent army in your hands. Hit! Grab it! The court has become what it is now, and you don't have to hand over anything you grab to the Son of Heaven, it's all yours! Fame and fortune! By the way, he equalized the people and eliminated the widows," he high-fived, "Our family can also make a few money selling firearms, wouldn't it be all four?" ”

Huo Sheng said: "Dongying Kingdom looks small, and the troops are some, so it is not so easy to fight. ”

Jia Cong said: "I didn't let you occupy their land!" You can do whatever you want. ”

Huo Sheng frowned.

"Our dynasty has always been at war with foreign peoples, most of them are to defeat the people and the country, let the emperor write a letter of surrender, and then retreat back to the court. Not to mention returning the territory to others in vain, not even war reparations. Therefore, all the money we spent on fighting wars was spent in vain, and there were losses and no gains, and it was called benevolence and righteousness. In fact, it is better to get money for war. Let's not save face, just grab it. You only pick the big treasury of the palace nobles to move to, and the management and security will make a lot of money after a battle. Jia Cong squinted at him and said, "I want to do it faster!" If it's too late, let others occupy it. ”

Huo Sheng nodded after hearing his words, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Jia Cong said: "The Son of Heaven loves face, and the princes love affordability." I am ready to stir up all the kings together. You have a royal treasury of a foreigner, and I earn money from the sale of Western firearms. Xiao Huo, they need money more than you. And the more the emperor's family is, the less he cares about the retribution, you see that the people who dig up the grave and dig the grave to take the funeral goods of the monarch of the previous dynasty are all from the emperor's family, what is it to rob foreign people. ”

Huo Sheng smiled: "It's also true, the Heavenly Family is ruthless, so naturally they don't care about this." He thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Last time, I asked Lord Wang to ask Sister Ling for a marriage, but I don't know why you refused to agree. ”

Jia Yu was eating tea and listening to it leisurely, but when he heard the words, he sat up straight: "What? Which girl in our family did you ask for? ”

Huo Sheng said: "There are only three girls of the same age. ”

Jia Yu immediately glared at Jia Cong: "Why don't I know? ”

Jia Cong hurriedly said: "Dad, he is unreliable in this matter!" Yin turned his head to Huo Sheng and said, "Even though my eldest sister is not on your family's famous brand, the matter of entering the palace to honor the concubine is always a certainty and cannot be erased." She and my third sister are two sisters! What's the matter with your son asking her for marriage? ”

Huo Shengqi said: "Why do you care about this? Don't you never care? ”

Jia Cong said: "Naturally, I don't care about this, my sister does." ”

Huo Sheng hesitated. Jia Yu shouted: "What is this? The big girl hasn't even seen your Lao Tzu's face twice, so she can't be considered his person at all. Jia Cong hurriedly kicked him from under the table. Huo Sheng naturally noticed it, and it was a little funny.

Wu Xiaoxi next to him suddenly smiled and said, "It sounds as if Prince Huo knows very well what my lord is like." Do you have such a good relationship? Or is his recklessness already known? ”

Huo Sheng said casually: "Uncle Shui said it." ”

Jia Cong and Wu Xiaoxi glanced at each other, and the bad idea of keeping it wrong was also dissolved by water. Jia Cong said: "Uncle Shuilu is a little stunned. Marriage is not the best means of alliance, it is. ”

Huo Sheng smiled: "He also wants to marry a girl from his family to your eldest nephew in Beijing." ”

Jia Cong was stunned: "Lan'er? He was joking! Absolutely not! ”

Huo Shengqi said: "There is nothing wrong with his daughter, I look at this family is good." ”

Jia Cong stretched out a finger: "First, my second uncle is an incompetent, superficial and fox-loving person. With the prince, even if it is a prince with a different surname, he will be happy without wind and waves. Our family has finally stopped a bit, and I don't want to cause him strange ambitions and cause trouble. Brother Huan has worked hard enough. Second, our family Lan'er is an honest child, and she can't marry any princess and county lord, she will suffer. Our family is married and people-oriented. Those who like all tie up, those who don't like it, those who marry low, and those who marry low women. ”

Huo Sheng raised his eyes and looked at him for a while when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Do you have anything you like?" ”

Jia Cong only felt a chill on his spine, and said with a straight face: "Don't beat my idea, I can't beat it." ”

Huo Sheng sighed: "I know I can't fight, but it's just a matter of saying it." ”

Jia Cong snorted: "It's good to know." ”

Huo Sheng sighed again: "I still have a little aunt in my family who is not married, and my grandmother writes every day urging me to help find a suitable family." ”

Jia Cong had already received a letter from Jingzhong, and knew that his grandmother's son-in-law was going to marry Xue Baochai, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "Hengzhu, your family is rich and famous, and it is necessary to recruit a smarter scholar." Next year's imperial examination is about to be postponed, is it a big deal to catch a son-in-law in the next year. ”

Huo Sheng shook his head: "She will be old until the year after tomorrow." ”

Jia Cong suddenly remembered something, and said "hey": "I remember who said in the early years that the two uncles of the Liu family of Liguo Gong were all sons-in-law under the list. ”

Huo Sheng said: "Yes! ”

Jia Cong said: "The four kings and eight princes are all old ministers of the first emperor, and they are all rich. When Fang Xiong was in Beijing that day, he copied a lot of princes' mansions, but he didn't move the four kings. Among the eight dukes, except for our family, who has no money, and Dongfu who is incapable of having good relatives, the remaining six families copied five, and only the Liu family of Liguo Gong remained untouched. There was a nobleman in the Qiguo Mansion, but the nobleman only raised a princess, and he didn't stay. ”

Huo Sheng said: "About someone in the Liu family who has dealings with Fang Xiong. ”

Jia Cong said: "The Liu family has long been defeated, and none of the surnamed Liu are useful, only the two sons-in-law are left to support the façade." He frowned and said, "Fang Xiong was at that time, and the wealthy families in Kyoto were vaults, and he moved them casually." Since he was found by the princes, the Liu family must have taken refuge in which prince. Otherwise, there are no eggs under the nest, why should people let their family go? ”

Huo Sheng said with a smile: "If you follow this, Ning Guofu is probably not because of a good relative. Jia Zhen has been in contact with the Sixth Prince for many years, and everything that should be known in the capital is known. ”

Jia Cong was stunned and pouted, "What you said is true." ”

Huo Sheng said: "Fang Xiong is okay, he only robbed money, and he was not moved. ”

Jia Cong sneered: "How many talents do these people have? Hey, by the way......" he looked at Huo Sheng, "He doesn't move your house, you have soldiers in your hands; What is the reason for not moving the other three princes? ”

Huo Sheng said indifferently: "I don't know this. Just a little guess, it's about the same as the Liguo Mansion. ”

Jia Congqi said: "People say that there are four kings and eight princes, four kings and eight princes, why are there so many four kings hooking up with the prince and few eight princes?" ”

Huo Sheng said: "The king of the opposite sex is also a king, and he is much more of an eyesore than the public. The eighth prince can still hope that Situ Yannian will raise his noble hand in the first emperor's share, but the four kings have no way out. ”

Jia Cong pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Reasonable." Xiao Huo, why do I think you are much better than when you were in Beijing? ”

Huo Sheng said indifferently: "There is no one in Beijing to educate them." ”

Jia Cong blinked, glanced at Wu Xiaoxi, and both of them had a strange color in their eyes. It can be seen how wise Huo Shengzhi's grandfather is! The foundation of their family is only in the south, and in addition to the industry, even the talents in Beijing are just empty shells. Huo Sheng will not return to Beijing for a while.

They then stopped gossiping, and Jia Cong told Huo Sheng about the current Tokugawa shogun system in the Eastern Ying Kingdom, and which cities he had heard of were larger and had more wealthy nobles. Huo Sheng has also been in the navy for so many days, and he has also heard about Dongying. Then Jia Cong retreated, and Wu Xiaoxi came forward to discuss the deal with Huo Sheng.

Coming out of the restaurant, Jia Yu and Wu Xiaoxi whispered at the same time: "Lan'er, he said it on purpose!" "He said it on purpose!"

Jia Cong didn't understand this time, and was stunned.

Jia Yu snorted: "He wants to marry the third girl, but we clearly refused, and the meaning is clear, and the reason is clear, this family will not be successful." The kid also dragged the water into the water. The little fox who dissolves the water, not only knows your temperament, but also hits Lan'er on the head, which obviously eats the temperament of the second child. He deliberately leaked the wind to us, so that we can be on guard. ”

Jia Cong snorted: "Then you have to send a message to Brother Huan quickly!" "Fortunately, they are in Guangzhou, and it is not once or twice to send private messages through Wang Ziteng's military newspaper. For a while, he said, "Shui Rong takes care of him, but he is bad for Shui Rong." ”

Wu Xiaoxi said: "This is not a bad water-soluble thing." Think about it, according to the temperament of the third young general and the third master of Huan, if Xiao Ye Lan was calculated by Shui Rong in such a big matter, how could you not blame him? ”

Jia Cong said: "It's not a complaint, I'll stir him up." It's just that it doesn't look good on the face. ”

Xiaoxi nodded and said, "In my opinion, Huo Sheng knows the temperament of our people better than Shui Rong. Is it water-soluble, it's about underestimating the third master of Huan. It's no wonder that he doesn't look at it clearly. ”

The three of them discussed casually, came out and got on their horses, and went up to the Liangguang Governor's Palace.

Wang Ziteng thought that Yuanchun was going to get married, and he happily ordered someone to prepare all kinds of dowries for her. Jia Yu also pretended to be confused, and pretended to discuss with him. Jia Cong looked at the two old men's excitement, and told them the truth, but he couldn't bear it. It's no wonder that Yuan Chun is already an old leftover girl now, and it was a heart disease for the two of them, but when he suddenly picked up a good son-in-law, his parents had to be happy.

He thought about it, and finally took advantage of the opportunity to invite Jia Yu to a secluded and uninhabited place, and complained: "Daddy touches porcelain with wings!" Tied up into a couple, twisted melons are not sweet. ”

Jia Yu immediately said, "What do you know? It's not that he doesn't want to, he doesn't think about it. Gong San also said a long time ago that he used to think of a girl, because he didn't marry, someone married someone else, and he was so aggrieved that he never touched the female sex again. When I become close to your big sister, according to her character, temperament and appearance, I will protect them and Meimei! ”

Jia Cong pouted and said, "Sure enough, the mouth is two pieces of skin!" He was right, but it wasn't on point. He told the real reason why Gong Kun didn't marry from the beginning.

Jia Yu pondered for a while and asked, "How does that woman look now?" ”

Jia Cong said: "I didn't ask about this. ”

Jia Yu glared at him and said, "Don't ask what you should ask!" Lan Xiang followed, didn't he? Call and ask. ”

Then he called Lan Xiang to ask about the woman's appearance, and Lan Xiang said, "I look quite unenergetic. Look, according to her age, it's not bad. ”

Jia Yu asked, "Can you look carefully?" How is it than 1 romance? ”

Lan Xiang pouted and said, "It's far worse than Sister 1 Romance!" The waist can be thick, milk. The son is big, and my eyebrows and eyes are only mediocre, and it is not worthy of lifting shoes for the eldest girl. ”

Jia Xianai turned back to Jia Cong and said, "Needless to say, Gong Kun and her can't get along anymore." ”

Jia Cong said: "Not necessarily, if he doesn't care about his appearance?" ”

Jia Yu sneered: "Don't care about your appearance? The woman must have been a good-looking person in their place back then, otherwise Gong Yizhi would not have looked down on her. It's just that no matter how outstanding it is, it can't be more than Erer. If she is really extremely beautiful, and if she has a bad reputation, there will be many men who are willing to marry her, not to marry a widower—what is the reputation of a true beauty in front of her eyes? Later, Wing Zhi repeatedly recalled that the woman had only been at the age of a flower, and even if she was not as beautiful as these girls in our family, there must be something lovely. You tell him again that your big sister is interested in him. When he sees that woman, he will inevitably compare your big sister with that woman in his heart. What am I talking about? Which of Yuan girl's character, temperament, and appearance is not outstanding? Immediate opinion. ”

Jia Cong wanted to say something, but closed his mouth again.

Jia Xianai advised: "Your words that day were excellent! The two of them have changed, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult to fit Yunyun. When Gong Kun comes back, he will inevitably say that he and the woman have gone through vicissitudes and are no longer what they used to be. You just sigh a few times. ”

Jia Cong said: "The person who is winged will not tell such a lie. ”

Jia Yu said: "Where is lying? In his heart, was he willing to give up on the woman because he disliked her appearance, or was he willing to let go of the two of them when they had changed and were difficult to get along with? ”

Jia Cong snorted and flattered: "Dad! You're a psychologist! ”

Jia Yu snorted: "What psychologist? You Lao Tzu was also a romantic figure back then, and I haven't seen anything. So he triumphantly went to Wang Ziteng to discuss Yuan Chun's marriage.
