It is said that the masters of Rongguo Mansion rushed back to the capital, and the next day, Jia Cong sent someone to Feng Mansion to see Feng Ziying, saying that their old lady was about to die, and they didn't know when to leave, so they didn't dare to leave the mansion. If there is an emergency, go to Rongguofu to find him; If not, please wait until the matter has passed. Feng Ziying thought about it for a while when she heard this, and sure enough, someone came to Rongguo Mansion to ask him, "Why didn't Lord Lin return to Beijing?" Jia Cong said, "I'm sick." Feng Ziying didn't say anything.

Mother Jia is sometimes sober and sometimes confused, and what she says is the old things from many years ago, and she has survived the New Year. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the old lady suddenly felt hot, and the doctor said that he was afraid that it would not be good. When the children and grandchildren boarded, they were all called to her room and stood on the ground, and even Jia Zhen and Jia Rong next door also shouted.

Jia Mu's eyes suddenly cleared, took Baoyu's hand and drooped her old tears, and shouted: "Baoyu, I can't bear to ...... you"

Baoyu was right in front of her bed, crying and shouting: "Old ancestor! ”

Jia Mu looked at Jia Cong again. Jia Cong stepped forward and shouted, "Ancestor." Jia Mu asked, "Who are you?" ”

Jia Cong smiled slightly and said indifferently: "I really think I'm Li Nezha." Jia Zhen, Jia Zheng and the others took a breath together.

Jia Mu nodded again and again: "Okay, good!" The Jia family will entrust you. "It's a closed eye. The crowd cried in unison.

Then it's time for the funeral. Although it is not a beautiful scenery, it is extremely rare in Beijing. Rongguo Mansion has not had so many masters come back for a long time, so it is so lively. Many of the old relatives and neighbors have moved elsewhere or have decayed, but many have come to worship.

On this day, Feng Ziying personally accompanied King Yan to pay tribute to Jia's mother with a gong and an umbrella, and Jia Zheng and others hurriedly greeted him. Situ Pan was dressed in plain clothes, and said a few words of comfort to Jia Yuluo, then looked at Jia Cong and said, "You haven't been back to Beijing for a few days." ”

Jia Cong said with a bitter face: "Far! ”

Jia Yu knew that they must have something to do with Jia Cong when they came here, so he ordered Jia Cong to accompany him to talk to the back.

Jia Cong ordered someone to go to Lixiangyuan to get the stack of books on the desk of his study, and another maid served tea, so that people guarded outside, but touched the back of his neck: "I'm tired these days." ”

Feng Ziying said: "Cong'er, there is something difficult to decide now, tell me your idea." How to move people to Dongying. ”

Jia Cong stood up with a "brush": "What about the natives of Dongying?" ”

Feng Ziying said with a smile: "Dongying has already divided the prince with King Wu and Liu Tong. After killing for so long, although there are still remnants on the scattered islands, the Dongying natives are almost extinct. ”

Jia Cong burst into tears, got up and bowed deeply to the east three times: "Thank you." Nai turned around and bowed to Situ Pan deeply, "Poor...... The boy thanked the prince for the descendants of future generations. ”

The fact that he claimed to be Li Nezha had already been spread by Jia Zhen, and Situ Pan only felt funny and said, "It's just a few small islands." ”

Jia Cong sighed: "To the prince, it is just a few small islands, but to the future generations, it is a catastrophe. Thinking of those national humiliations two hundred years later, I couldn't help but have mixed feelings and shook my head. "If you want to relocate the population, the best thing to do is to give land to ordinary people." ”

Situ Pan said: "This king has heard that you are robbing the population in Fujian. ”

Jia Cong pouted and said: "That's not called grabbing the population, that's attracting the population." I can't blame me for that, I can't do anything without anyone. ”

Situ Panai asked, "What have you done all these years?" It can't be studying. ”

Jia Cong snorted, "Is it possible? At first, I read the book for a while, and then I couldn't read it. He added, "After all, there are still many people who don't have land." If you don't give them benefits and forcibly pack them up, you won't support the prince when you get there. Next door is Liu Tong and King Wu, isn't it? Although it is a small island, it has a lot of meaning for the prince. In fact, that island is extremely important to the prince. ”

"Huh?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "The right to control the sea." The prince has a territory there, and it will be much easier for the troops to echo. ”

Feng Ziying said: "My father said the same thing. ”

Jia Cong said: "Uncle Feng is a veteran of a hundred battles, so he can see it clearly. Lord Wang, what do others mean? ”

Situ Pan said: "Nowadays, most people say that they will send prisoners to mine. ”

Jia Cong blurted out: "The eyes of the rat are inch! ”

Feng Ziying smiled dumbly: "Don't talk nonsense in front of outsiders. ”

"The most important thing is not the mine, but the territory!" Jia Cong glanced at Situ Pan: "If you always agree, just wait for Liu Dong's people to eat it." He needs the hearts of the people more than anyone else. ”

At this time, a little servant took the booklet from Lixiang Courtyard, and Jia Cong took it to Situ Pan: "Huh." I've been experimenting with it in Taiwan for the past few years. In fact, it was tested in Chengtianfu, and there were no people anywhere else on the island. ”

Situ Pan took the booklet and looked at it, and the first one was written: Report on the trial operation of the public transport carriage. I looked at the next one: the report on the trial operation of the compulsory education school. The third book: the music box factory assembly line trial operation report. Nai casually opened a book and looked at it, and couldn't help but praise: "It's so clear and clear." ”

Jia Cong said: "These are all good ideas that my husband has seen from the West, South and other places, and I will try them all." ”

Situ Pan nodded again and again: "Good boy! ”

Jia Cong grinned and said, "I just came up with an idea, and it is my second brother Lian who is in charge." ”

Situ Pan said with a smile: "This king has long said that Jia Lian must be a practical talent. He pointed to the "compulsory education school" and said, "This is from Luguo?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Lu Guo learned from us. The idea is mine, and Brother Huan sued them. He squeezed his eyes, "He fell in love with the sister of the king of Lu, and he still has to give people ideas and benefits?" ”

Situ Pan snorted: "Let the third aunt guess!" ”

Jia Congnai asked, "By the way, did the third aunt sister follow Huo Sheng to Nanyang?" ”

"Not bad." Situ Pan said, "A few days ago, there was information coming back, saying that Huo Sheng had gained a lot of benefits. He sighed, "This kid underestimated him back then." ”

Jia Cong said: "The West is the big one, and most of the gold and silver in the world today are in their hands. And the Americas. Such a large piece of territory, while the Westerners have not yet taken root, they have to grab it quickly. ”

Situ Pan pondered for a moment and said, "Don't be so anxious, take Dongying first." ”

Jia Cong pouted and said, "Dongying's projectile land is just a springboard. The Russian state is now in a state of dominance, passing by them, going to the West to rob, and running away after robbing. ”

Feng Ziying said: "I'm afraid that some people will say, how is it different from the Japanese Kou?" ”

Jia Cong snorted: "The Japanese and my dynasty are naturally evil people, but the Dongying people are good people. ”

Situ Pan said: "It is better to raise soldiers on a large scale or to raise volunteers." ”

"Then let's avenge the Americans." Jia Cong cupped his cheeks and said, "The Americans were killed by the Westerners. I have to find an excuse for everything. If we don't beat them, they will beat us sooner or later. ”

Situ Pan said: "It's just that most of the firearms nowadays were originally bought from the West. ”

Jia Cong twitched the corner of his mouth: "The Japanese also bought a lot of swords from my court." Nai pulled out another booklet, "By the way, this is the drawing of the common spinning machine and loom of the Wu Kingdom. ”

Situ Pan was overjoyed: "Where did you get it from?" ”

Jia Cong smiled: "I originally sold it to him, and my Western gentlemen got it from their hometown, so I didn't expect this thing to be so useful at all." ”

Situ Pan's face was full of black lines: "You ......" turned his head to look at Feng Ziying, "You say!" ”

Feng Ziying laughed: "When you are smart, you are confused!" Don't look at what Wu Sha's arrogance has become over the years! Recently, Wu Bu has appeared again. ”

Jia Cong scratched the back of his head: "How can you blame me!" When I was in the capital, I invited a few Western gentlemen to learn this, and everyone said that I was a plaything. If it weren't for my dad getting used to me, this thing would still be in the West! I'm not sure when I'll know. When the time comes, wait for the street of foreign yarn and foreign cloth! ”

Situ Pan hurriedly asked: "Could it be that you got the cement there from Wang Ziteng?" ”

"yes!" Jia Cong said, "But the recipe is not complete, and I have tried it for a long time, so it is better for Uncle Wang for the time being." I've heard that many people are trying to get recipes from the people under him, but I didn't know that I had planned to prepare the recipes and give them to the people of the world. ”

Situ Pan was taken aback: "Why did you give such a good thing to the world?" ”

Jia Cong said casually: "Because everyone in the world can use it very much, it can save a lot of labor in quarrying. Wouldn't it be good for these weaker people to cultivate land and open up wasteland, and the stronger ones to go to the West to rob? ”

Feng Ziying said: "What if the prince is at war with other countries? For example, the Jin Kingdom. Using this cement as a fortification, rambling about arrows, it is not even easy to conquer firearms. ”

Jia Cong shrugged his shoulders and said: "Since everyone in the world has it, then it is difficult for all countries to fight." This is not a Western thing, and Westerners do not have it. If you can't beat your own people, then you'll have to fight Westerners. ”

Situ Pan and Feng Ziying glanced at each other a few times, and Situ Pan nodded and said, "You are just looking forward to us fighting Westerners." ”

"Hmm." Jia Cong said, "It's better than letting Westerners fight us." ”

Situ Pan sighed lightly: "That's fine." Nai asked again, "I heard that Jarvis led people to show off their might in Fujian, and beat Zheng Chao'er, the general soldier of Fujian, to be obedient; There is also a military advisor surnamed Lin, a young scholar? ”

Jia Cong said: "It's not a scholar, it's my cousin." ”

"What?!" Situ Pan and Feng Ziying shouted in unison, "Is it Miss Lin?" ”

"She's smart."

The two of them immediately exchanged glances. Feng Ziying said: "Lord Lin actually agreed? ”

Jia Cong said: "Uncle Lin can't help her, she has only one daughter, can she not get used to it?" Besides, it's not the capital, so there's no rules at all. When everyone has no rules, no matter how good the rules are, no matter how good they are, they can't behave. He grinned and said, "I like Chengtianfu the most!" Even Uncle Lin can't make me behave. ”

Situ Pan glanced at him: "Wild boy! ”

Then he said some things in Beijing and the world, and the two of them left with Jia Cong's report, and when they left, Situ Pan also bowed his hand to Jia Yu: "Pardon the good son raised by the public." "Some people are used to praising Jia Zheng in Beijing because of Jia Baoyu's literary name, and their eyes are straight. Jia Cong personally sent the two of them out of the gate of Rongguo Mansion, and saw them from a distance and disappeared from the shadow.

He went to the outer study and ordered someone to invite Lin Daiyu over. Not long after, Daiyu came, Jia Cong greeted him, and said bluntly: "I just gave Situ Pan a lot of benefits, and I also exposed my sister." ”

Daiyu frowned slightly: "What? ”

"He was very good to me when he was young." Jia Cong said, "Speaking of which, I owe him a lot of favors." That's why I gave him a lot of benefits for nothing, spinning machines, looms, and the like. And many people know my sister's identity, even if I hide it from him this time, I can't hide it from the next time, so I simply tell him the truth. ”

Daiyu thought for a while: "It's not bad, King Yan will find out sooner or later, it's better for you to tell the truth." ”

"I'll give him a try, too." Jia Cong said, "Let's see how big this person is, whether he wants to find his sister to be his daughter-in-law." ”

Daiyu smiled: "My father won't agree." ”

Jia Cong looked at her fixedly and said, "The emperor's family has taken a fancy to a woman, when did they need to ask for the consent of Lao Tzu?" ”

Daiyu said: "I refused to marry the second prince back then, how can I marry his son now?" ”

Jia Cong smiled bitterly: "Sister, I'm afraid that he will come to Yin." Sister be careful these days, don't walk around where there are few people. ”

"This is natural." Daiyu said, "My grandmother hasn't mourned yet, where else can I go?" ”

Jia Cong saw the glint in her eyes, and she was afraid that she was stubborn, so she hung a brick and smashed it on her head! What is she doing? I had to turn around and ask Yang Erbo and Chen Ruijin to stare at her.

In the days that followed, the gate of Rongguo Mansion was full of traffic from morning to night, and Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were busy. Seeing the serious hour of Jia's mother's funeral, Deacon Mingjing was dazzling, and Jia Baoyu fell and cried like a tearful person. All the way was very lively, and the mighty swept out of the city gate and went to the Iron Threshold Temple. When the monks received the spirit, the incense altar was reset, and another law was enacted, and the coffin was placed in the main hall, and Jia Baoyu accompanied the spirit in the side hall. This Anrei dojo will last for three days, and everyone in Rongguo Mansion will stay in the temple.

The first two days were uneventful. On the third day, after completing the rituals, he should return to his home, and then discuss Fuling to return to his hometown and bury the ancestral grave with Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo. It snowed heavily the other day, and for some reason a lot of snow rolled down from the mountains and blocked the road. The boy who explored the road said back and forth: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to go back to the city tonight, and I'll go to shovel snow tomorrow." Everyone had no choice but to stay in the Iron Threshold Temple for one more day. On this night, fresh snow fell, making it more and more difficult to walk. Jia Lian led the people to clean up for a whole day, but there was still no way, so he had to stay for another night.

Jia Rong then said: "Could it be that the ancestor was reluctant to let Second Uncle Bao go, and showed his spirit to make those snow and not let him go?" ”

Baoyu was especially sad, and when he heard the words, he said: "In this case, I will stay in this temple and accompany the ancestors for a few more days." ”

Jia Zheng thought for a while: "It's okay." The only person loved by the ancestors is you, and you should accompany her more. Hengzhi will help the spirit back to Jinling in a few days. ”

The next day, Jia Lian led the people to be busy for most of the day, but the snow on the road was cleared, and everyone packed up the carriage and horses to leave the temple. Nodded the number of heads - Lin Daiyu is gone! Tanchun said: "Just now she said that she will come back immediately when she goes to the back mountain!" Wang Xifeng hurriedly sent people to the back mountain to look for him, but there was no one at all. Jia Cong suddenly felt that the green tendons on his forehead were about to jump upβ€”Chen Ruijin was there, and Yang Erbo and Jarvis were gone.

Chen Ruijin said with relief: "According to Yang Erbo's kung fu, few people can beat it. ”

Jia Cong sighed: "If you are with her, it's okay." Uncle Yang is also an old naughty boy, and her brother listens to her in everything, who knows what she wants to play. ”
