However, it is said that the missionary Zhao Shouqian led another British missionary, Aylward, whose Chinese name is Li Rende, to Rongguo Mansion and has been in the capital for ten years. This Mr. Li is very good at Western science, mathematics and physics and other basic subjects, this time he is translating a geometry book, today I heard that Jia Sanye likes science, specially packed many books he translated.

The brothers of Lixiangyuan were quite interested, and they asked Mr. Li long and short questions, and some people asked how Mr. Newton was doing recently. I don't want Newton to die more than 20 years ago, and they all sigh. However, the group still respected this person very much, and when they heard that Mr. Lee still had Mr. Newton's, they all gathered around to watch. It's a pity that the English they learned was learned from Jia Cong, and it was all extremely basic words and sentences, and they couldn't understand this thing at all. Jia Cong naturally couldn't understand it, in his previous life, he was only a sixth-level university, and he still studied American English. So he simply asked this Mr. Li if he would like to come to Lixiang Yuan to teach them. Mr. Li was originally a poor monk, and it was not easy for him to preach, and his life was also hard, so he was naturally willing. The two sides hit it off.

Jia Cong has been obsessed with all kinds of Western stubborn weapons and natural sciences since this day, and he will not go to invite him to enjoy flowers and watch the play. Immediately provoked a vote of missionaries to come to the door. It's a pity that he is only interested in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and has no interest in who created human beings. A missionary told him that God loves all mankind and is the Father of all men. Jia Cong sadly told him, my old man has a bad temper, if he knew that you said this, he would beat you...... It didn't take long for the missionaries to find out that this man was not carveyable, and gradually gave up. He invited some of those who were themselves quite scientific to teach, and the missionaries were also required to eat, but they taught quite seriously.

Wang Ziteng thought that he was sincere "plaything" to avoid the limelight, and collected a lot of Western books for him to send.

At this time, the court will also be lively. A while ago, the mothers of the six princes and the six princes all received an arrow letter from nowhere at night, and there was only one sentence on it: Zhou Yan is afraid that he will not become an official, who will be the general political envoy?

The princes and lords inquired the next day, and Zhou Yan had suddenly disappeared for a few days, and he didn't know where he went! The people of the Zhou family went to the government to report the case, but they couldn't find out like Xie Sanye a while ago. It's just that Zhou Yan is obviously much more important than Xie San. If he was kidnapped by thieves, then what is the origin of the arrow book? A few days later, when the fourth prince and the sixth prince were talking, they revealed the matter to each other, and they were shocked when they heard that the other party also got one! Immediately, he ordered someone to go back to the house and fetch the arrow book and put it in one place, and the two arrows and two letters were exactly the same! The arrows are wooden arrows, roughly homemade by the archers; The word is a pavilion body, and there is no way to check it. They were busy inquiring about the other four princes, and they received it the same night! I was immediately alert, and I was afraid that there was fraud. So they all pretended not to care about it.

And the princes' mothers do not interact with each other, so no one knows, and they have gone to the door to find news, wanting to seek this position for their own family, and there is a cloud in all directions.

A few days ago, the rebellion in the harem has not yet been found out, because the saint ordered Jingdezhen to imitate the Ming blue and white dinosaurs, someone has already released the news, and a few face-saving mothers have seen the artwork with their own eyes, and they all said that the dinosaur is very festive, but it is temporarily the "snatching of the child" to say. Now there are unreasonable harem women who step on Zhou Guiren on the one hand, and on the other hand, they ask the prince to ask the sage who wants to fill the position of political envoy.

The sage became more and more annoyed, so he simply ordered Situ Pan to end Zhou Yan earlier, only to die by accident, and to protect his whole family to be worthy of him. Seeing that the people who came out to jump were all their own sons, the brothers did not move, thinking that they were more honest, but secretly relieved. Nai said to Dai Quan: "Let them fight a few times, and if they don't fight, they won't be able to see who has the ability." ”

Situ Pan persuaded: "If a few of those brothers don't move, but this time none of them don't move, I don't think it's right." ”

The saint also felt justified, and ordered someone to investigate but found nothing, so he had to give up. However, there is still a little slack in my heart.

Two days later, a farmer on the outskirts of the city found a corpse on the ridge, and because his official uniform had not been changed, he was immediately recognized as Lord Zhou Yan. Because all the valuable things on his body have been taken away, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division only robbed and closed the case. The people of the Zhou family naturally refused to accept it, crying and making a fuss and refusing to take the body back.

Zhao Chengnai whispered to his eldest son: "Uncle Zhou, Lord Ling Zun was thrown into the wilderness in an official uniform, and it is a great blessing for God to leave the whole corpse without burdening his family." Why don't you go back and burn incense to thank you? Take a closer look at what's under Lord Zhou's official uniform. ”

Uncle Zhou was shocked, and immediately ignored the opposition of others and ordered someone to carry his father back to take a look, the old man was covered in bruises, and it was obvious that he had been severely punished, and he immediately cried bitterly. No need to ask, let the top clean up. He also knows a little bit about what their family does, even if he has walked a lot and met ghosts at night, he is busy buying a coffin for his father to be buried, and he doesn't even dare to make a big funeral.

After the first seven days of Zhou Yan, Hu Jin, the deputy envoy of the General Political Envoy Department, was promoted to the general political envoy. A few days later, the holy decree was sent to Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Lian, the doctor of Sipin Chaosan, was transferred to the deputy envoy of the Sipin General Political Envoy.

This Chaosan doctor is a fictitious position, Jia Lianzhi's actual position is a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from the fifth grade, although he has already gotten his words Lao Tzu knows that there is about an official promotion, where do you want to get one step and three levels? I didn't know what to do, so I hurriedly went to Lixiangyuan to thank you. He was so smart that he didn't even ask Jia Cong what he had done. Jia Cong just pretended to be stupid, and the brothers tacitly mixed up.

Jia Cong had nothing to do and went to Jia Lian's yard to see their Jia Xiaomeng, sure enough, she was cute every day, how cute she looked. Jia Lian said to Sister Feng: "Cong'er is a blessed, let him come to play with Meng'er more often, and also bring some blessings to Meng'er." Sister Feng naturally smiled.

Since Jia Meng was born, Wang Xifeng has been too lazy to ask Jia Lian what kind of girls from the Bao Er family can eat and listen to operas outside. Jia Lian also noticed it, and went out to spend all day drinking when he was free, and no one cared about it, and he was safe for a while.

Jia Yu was quite surprised when he heard that his son had even been promoted to the third level, and he hurriedly looked for Gong San to ask, "Why is the saint so generous?" For so long, he refused to give Lian'er a step. ”

Gong San also smiled: "I'm afraid that the Nine Princes have helped." No one knows about Cong'er pretending to be Gao Li's nephew, and it doesn't matter, he doesn't need to pull himself into the blue and white dinosaurs. He ran to Situ Pan for no reason. It's hard to be smart, but it's even more rare to be smart and honest. Situ Pan really intends to win over your family this time. ”

Jia Yu sneered: "He's honest? The ghosts are not as good as him! Then he walked away triumphantly.

Jia Zheng got the news and was stuffy in the house for several days. Because Baoyu went back to the academy early, he had to go to Jia Huan and sigh for a long time, and ordered him to study and take the imperial examination. Jia Huan naturally did what he said, and he didn't pay attention to it when he turned around.

On this day, Jia Huan Jia Cong came back from the Su family and went straight to Lixiangyuan. Sleeves greeted him and said, "The master is here!" There is a Liu Gongzi who has been waiting for a long time, and it has been lively since the moment he came, and it has not yet dispersed. ”

Jia Huan glanced at Jia Cong: "When did you provoke another Liu Gongzi." ”

Jia Cong was inexplicable: "Where do I know?" Then he walked into the hall, but saw a group of brothers chirping around a person, and he looked at it - isn't it that actor Liu Aiyun? After not seeing him for many days, this person's expression was different from that day, and his eyebrows were quite proud.

Liu Aiyun saw him come in and hurriedly saluted: "Third master! ”

Jia Cong smiled: "I heard that you are already the most popular actor in Beijing, congratulations." ”

Liu Aiyun also smiled: "It's the third master's idea, Uncle Xue is in turn, and he forced me out." ”

Jia Cong blinked: "I only think that Big Brother Xue is good at messing up good ideas, and I don't want him to have two brushes." ”

Liu Aiyun smiled lightly, laughing so much that the clouds of the day dispersed, and the brothers around him secretly took a breath of cold air. Jia Huan also sighed beside him: "No wonder Big Brother Xue planted it on his head. Liu Aiyun glanced at him with a smile, and Jia Huan shuddered for no reason.

When the two went to the study, Jia Cong Nai asked, "Brother Liu must have something." ”

Liu Aiyun looked at Jia Cong silently for a long time and asked, "The third master said that he intends to show the way with Uncle Xue, can you listen to it?" ”

Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "In your opinion, is he willing to endure hardships?" ”

Liu Aiyun was stunned.

Jia Cong said: "I said I didn't believe him, but I believed in you, that's why." He is a pampered young master, but he is quite righteous, a bit like Li Kui of Shuibo Liangshan. ”

Liu Aiyun laughed when he said it. "How can he have the ability of a black whirlwind."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Li Kui is innocent and righteous, and he is simply an ax - the axe in Song Jiang's hand. Song Jiang asked him to do everything right. He then looked at Liu Aiyun, "I don't know what happened to you two." ”

Liu Aiyun's face sank, and he said coldly: "I have no intention of using him as an axe." ”

Jia Cong said: "The axe is just a thing, it can kill people, cut down trees, and build houses. Since he himself is a bastard, it would be good if there was a clear person willing to show him the way. ”

Liu Aiyun was stunned.

Jia Cong stopped talking and sat and drank tea.

Liu Aiyun said for a long time: "What do you want him to do?" ”

Jia Cong smiled: "Maritime." ”

Liu Aiyun hurriedly said: "This matter is extremely difficult. Although I am a joker, I know how difficult it is to get a clerk in the city, and the maritime business is extremely risky. ”

Jia Cong waved his finger and said, "The risk is not big, Brother Liu can rest assured." It's just harder. Don't worry about paperwork and the like. ”

Liu Aiyun looked at him fixedly for a long time.

Jia Cong said: "If you want to do this, you only need one thing: don't be greedy." If Brother Xue is not greedy and not afraid of hardship, there is nothing to say about making a fortune. ”

Liu Aiyun looked at him for a long time, and suddenly sneered: "I don't want the young master of Rongguo Mansion to secretly communicate with smugglers. ”

Jia Cong let out a "wow": "How did you guess it?" ”

Liu Aiyun said: "There is no risk in being a maritime businessman, you can make a fortune if you are not greedy or afraid of hardship, what else can you do except sell stolen goods for smuggling ships?" Not being greedy is the most important thing. Don't be greedy for the benefits of the upper and lower families, so that you can have a long-term business to do. ”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Not bad." Not only smugglers, but also pirates and distribution shops in the future. Only when we work together can we make money. Boss Liu, do you want to do it? ”

Liu Aiyun said: "! ”

Jia Cong pursed his lips and said, "Hey, don't you want to get rid of it like this!" According to common sense, you should first threaten me, 'Aren't you afraid that I will sue you?' ’”

Liu Aiyun sneered: "Third Master Cong stepped on the entire Gaomen Palace in the capital a few days ago, where can I sue you for a play?" ”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Boss Liu is a four-cornered person. The two of them drank a glass of tea instead of wine, which can be regarded as Liu Aiyun making decisions for Xue Pan.

Liu Aiyun said: "When will it start?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Wait, you can hang him again." ”

Liu Aiyun nodded and smiled lightly.

Sending him out, Jia Cong sighed in his heart, this matter has a basic outline. It's just that the most fatal link has not yet been solved: the governor of Liangguang. Later, he consulted with Liu Feng and others for several days, so the people were holy people, and they really couldn't mobilize them. But Jia Huan said on the side: "Why don't you ask our military advisor?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Gong Kun hasn't come back yet." ”

Jia Huan said: "It's not just one military division. ”

Jia Cong glanced at Liu Feng and Wu Xiaoxi and said, "Aren't they all here?" ”

Jia Huan stretched out his hand and pointed back: "There are several more out there." ”

Jia Cong thought about it, yes, and Mr. Lin and his sisters. Hurriedly smiled: "Yes, they don't know cause and effect, so they can't come up with a way." Then he got up and went to the girls' courtyard.

Recently, they are all studying Western science in Lixiangyuan, and they have also honored their sisters with a batch of books and test equipment, and the girls are pondering the conic curve around a geometric model. When they saw him coming, they all smiled and said, "Come on, I have a job for you to do." ”

Dai Yunai pointed to a list on the case: "That is the list of books we listed, please get it for us, thank you!" ”

Jia Cong took it and put it up directly, without looking at it.

Yingchun smiled: "Xiangyun has a headache when she looks at these things, so I asked her to help me copy the booklet." ”

Xichun said: "She obviously hadn't learned Arabic numerals before, she couldn't understand what we were talking about, and she ran when she was bored." ”

Yingchun hurriedly said: "I forgot this!" It's easy to be tight, and I teach her at night. ”

Jia Cong hurriedly waved his hand: "This is slow first, if she doesn't chase her sister to learn, don't teach her for the time being." ”

Yingchun nodded when he heard this.

Jia Cong grinned, squeezed his eyes again, and said to his sisters: "There is a headache, I want to hear if there is a way for my sisters." ”

Yingchun hurriedly asked him what was the matter.

Jia Cong said: "I want to dig out a bird's nest in the treetops, but I can't reach it anyway." ”

Yingchun Tanchun Daiyu was stunned when she heard it.

"Someone who can reach me won't help me."

The three of them turned their heads to stare at Jia Cong together.

Only Xichun was still pondering the geometric model, and said casually: "Is there a ladder?" ”

Jia Cong smiled bitterly: "The ladder is too low. "I just got a fourth-grade petty official, and I haven't sat down yet......

Xichun said: "Cut down the tree." ”

Jia Cong shuddered: "The fourth sister is so domineering!" Your brother doesn't have that ability yet. ”

Xichun smiled: "In this case, don't you have a slingshot?" Hit with a slingshot, and see how accurate it can be? ”

Jia Cong was stunned. After blinking, he said for a long time: "It's also a method, but you have to get the slingshot accurate." ”

Xichun smiled: "No, it's just that you haven't practiced kung fu yourself." ”

Jia Congnai asked the other sisters: "Is there any other way?" ”

Tanchun and Daiyu glanced at each other, and Daiyu said: "You don't want to come nonsense, it won't be good if you don't let it peck its eyes without catching a wild goose." ”

Jia Cong nodded: "I know, sister don't worry." But he took the book list and went away.

Tanchun Daiyu looked at him for a long time from behind. Jia Cong, the bear child of the Red Mansion
