Chapter Seventy-Two

It is said that Jia Cong secretly moved into Lixiangyuan while people were unprepared, and there were sixteen boys who moved in with him, the big ones were only thirteen or fourteen, and the small ones were only eight. At the age of nine, Jia Yu invited him to practice martial arts as a playmate, and even Wu You was among them. Jia Cong heard him Lao Tzu tell him about the list, and he understood that Jia Yu had brought in the top of the next two generations of his soldiers and uncles for him this time, and secretly complained in his heart: This group of buddies will have to be raised by his father in the future.

When Jia Yu heard that the younger son's head had been moved, he called Jia Lian over and told him: "I asked Cong'er to rush to occupy the Lixiang Courtyard, and the old lady doesn't know about the second room, so I will tell you first." ”

Jia Lian was taken aback: "Cong'er occupies Lixiangyuan? I'm confused, what is this doing, sir. ”

Jia Yu shook his head, and coaxed him according to Gong Sanyi's idea: "I heard that your second aunt said that Lixiangyuan should be left for Baoyu to marry the girl of the Xue family in Japan." Cong'er was only seven years old, so let him occupy the land alive and dead, and marry a few years later. The big empty courtyard in this mansion is gone, and I'll see where Baoyu is going to get married. ”

Jia Lian laughed and laughed: "How can there be such a ...... The ancestors will not agree. ”

Jia Yu stroked his beard with a smile and said: "He is too young, I don't feel at ease living alone, so I invited more than a dozen playmates for him, although he is young, they are all good kung fu in your group of pro-soldier uncles." ”

Jia Lian was dumbfounded: Is this a hard fight with the old lady? hurriedly persuaded for a long time, but Jia Yu ignored it. I had no choice but to go back and tell Wang Xifeng and discuss with her.

Wang Xifeng was also stunned: "What kind of drama is this singing, master?" Suddenly laughed again, she was also happy to give Jia pardon to the ancestor is not happy, she is so cheap.

Jia Lian said: "I was just thinking about it on the road, and I probably wanted to compete with the old ancestor and test her bottom. He thought about it again and said with a smile, "That's it, the two Buddhas can't be provoked, don't make the king of Hades fight and the little ghost suffer." It's none of my business, when I don't miss the courtyard, in my lord's heart, that group of pro-soldiers is extremely important. ”

Wang Xifeng said: "This is natural. "Inter sent Ping'er to ask them if they still have shortcomings, and they don't lack anything.

Jia Cong was not polite, and sure enough, he made a list for her, and asked her to quietly bring a sentence, which could only be given to Jia Lian alone, and no one else was allowed to hear it. Ping'er hurriedly asked what to say. Jia Cong said in a low voice: "Sue Second Brother, if someone bullies him in the future, it is inconvenient for him to retaliate, I am the one who will do it." His brother will fight! ”

Ping'er was startled, and before she could say a few more words, Jia Cong told again: "Don't let the second sister-in-law know." ”

Ping'er was embarrassed: "The second grandmother and the second grandfather were originally husband and wife, why did they ......?"

Jia Cong glanced at her twice, stumbled and said, "I was wrong, I should have told the second brother in person, and I shouldn't borrow my sister's mouth." Oh, I'm not a proper person, and it's too late to regret it. If you don't forget it, Sister Ping, just because I didn't say it......" He looked at Ping'er again with a suspicious face, and said with a wry smile, "Second sister-in-law...... I'm afraid that one day she won't be able to stop her mouth and say something when she goes back to her parents' house. Sister Ping only told my second brother exactly what I said, and he would definitely understand what I meant. ”

Ping'er didn't know what their two brothers had in mind, so they had to respond, and went back to quietly tell Jia Lian when no one was around.

Jia Lian was also stunned. At first, when he heard those words, he thought it was a child who only knew how to use force, and laughed "nonsense"; It didn't take long for him to understand that he was about to hand over the business of plundering the slaves to Jia Cong, so he let the children of the pro-soldier family live with him. This matter is too confidential, and even if it is leaked to the Wang family, it is extremely unsafe. couldn't help but scold: "Stinky boy! Where is it so lazy, just take a few more steps. He repeatedly told Ping'er, "Don't let people know." ”

Seeing his solemn expression, Ping'er hurriedly responded, and swore again. Seeing her delicate appearance, Jia Lian was so excited that she wanted to come up and hug her, but she was so frightened that she dropped the curtain and ran out. Jia Lian scolded hatefully in the house for a long time.

Ping'er turned around and sent the things Jia Cong asked for one by one for them, which is a later story.

At the end of Lixiangyuan, after everyone had cleaned up their meetings, visited the door, and talked about small things, Jia Cong smiled and gathered everyone into the hall to prepare for the inaugural speech. He twisted his head and looked at everyone for a long time, and saw that everyone was quiet for a long time, and suddenly said, "I don't know what to say for a while." And they all laughed.

Jia Cong then said: "A few days ago, I told my father that I wanted a few guards, but I never thought that it would be you. This old man has helped me and tricked me. He sighed, "I can't be lazy anymore." Your brothers are the best of this wave, and if I am idle, I will surely bring you all tired. ”

The brothers couldn't help but look at each other, Wu You was more familiar with him, and said with a smile: "It's good that you know." ”

Jia Cong had already sorted out his thoughts at this time, coughed, and said: "I am an idle person, and I just want to have a little bit of self-protection and secretly resist the injustice of the world. The brothers also probably know that Liu Fengxiaoxi and I often sneak to the house in the south of the moat to meet for this. Originally, a qiē was very smooth. The origin of today's events is that one day a while ago, I realized that I had an ambition. Ambition is a strange thing, even if I don't know what I want for a while, my heart is like a mirror: I don't want to spend my life idle, I don't want to be in the dust, I want to dominate the world. Brothers, I'm only seven years old, and I'm actually quite young. However, compared to those people who had few ambitions in ancient times, it is not too early to have ambitions at the age of seven. Once upon a time, an old man once told me that there is no fairness in the world, and if you don't resent these injustices, you can only cultivate great skills to gain the opportunity to get out of the current situation and become a person who controls justice and injustice. I thought that at first, I was dedicated to self-preservation, not because I was not without ambition, but because of my background, temperament and many other reasons, I didn't think that I could have such great ability. At this time, I am not willing to just sit and wait for others to come to me for trouble, and I will deal with it. That's why I want people, money, and more power. I want to be someone I can't mess with. ”

He paused, Wu You was extremely clever, and took advantage of this moment to applaud, and Mi'er followed and clapped, and all the brothers applauded.

Jia Cong suddenly felt a great increase in confidence, and when the applause subsided, he smiled: "It's just that I can't do this alone." As the saying goes, you can't make a forest alone. To achieve great things, a group of people must work together. Now that everyone is here, it's a boat. I hope that each of us can be a brother who can support his back. We are not afraid of anything, but we are afraid that there will be chaos inside. I believe that no one here will betray my brother at the moment, because I do not think that anyone can give you more benefit than me, big enough to tempt you to betray your brother. Therefore, everyone in this room is reliable. If anyone is in trouble, no matter how unspeakable, please call me a. Concealment can create a great opportunity for outsiders. For example, someone falls in love with someone they shouldn't like, or offends a Lord they can't afford to offend. Don't worry, everyone thinks together, there must be a way. Even if you fall in love with the princess and offend the emperor, we have a way to deal with it. ”

There was an uproar.

Jia Cong said loudly: "Even if God bullies our brothers, let's let him die!" ”

Wu You took the lead and shouted, "Okay!" The brothers all made his blood boil, and they shouted one after another: "Third young general, we believe you!" ”

Jia Cong nodded, and said, "It's just that if you want to have the ability to clean up even God, you have to have extremely difficult cultivation. In the past, you only practiced martial arts one day and learned calligraphy one day, and you still lived quite leisurely and comfortable. If you want to follow me, you have to learn more and more. I know that since my father has picked you out, you are not people who are 'unambitious and would rather be idle all their lives than work hard'. It's just a routine, and I have to ask. Are there any people who can't bear the hardships and want to quit? ”

Where is there anyone to answer him?

Jia Cong smiled slightly: "In this case, I will acquiesce that everyone is willing to stay." From now on, let's start refining our skills in a down-to-earth manner. No pain, no gain. ”

As soon as his words fell, he didn't have time to feel the atmosphere of the bull, and the purple light guarding the outside came in and replied: "Third master, there are two old ladies in the courtyard outside, looking like dogs fighting people, looking at people, and saying that the old lady should let us move out quickly." ”

Jia Cong frowned: "What kind of character is here?" ”

Ziguang said: "It's not a character, I haven't seen it." ”

Jia Cong said: "Fight out!" ”

Ziguang said: "I'm afraid that the people they howl and make trouble will not be disturbed. ”

Jia Cong glared at him: "I don't have the ability." Yin Xiao asked, "Who is going to do me a favor and give the two noisy mothers-in-law outside a few times to tell them to shut up quickly?" ”

Two children immediately jumped out: "Let's go!" ”

Jia Cong smiled: "Thank you!" ”

The two of them went out, and Jia Cong made a red . Take some tea and snacks on your sleeve and let everyone chat. Red. The sleeve smiled and led the 123 romance. Xiang brought out a lot of food. These children didn't know Jia's mother in the first place, even if they knew the details, they also coaxed Jia Cong's appearance over, and chatted happily while eating.

After a while, the two came back, and said proudly: "Run away." ”

Jia Cong hurriedly said: "Hard work, eat something to fill your stomach." ”

The two laughed and said: "Where is the hard work, even the muscles and bones have not been stretched, so boring." So they went to eat and drink together.

After another half a day, Ziguang came in and returned: "Third master, Sister Mandarin Duck is here." ”

Jia Cong said, "Please come in." "One head said to everyone, "This mandarin duck is my grandmother's personal maid, and she is very face-saving by her side, but now my father doesn't sell the face of his ancestors very much." ”

Wu You said with a smile: "What the third young general means, this maid can give her a little face when she is fine, and you don't have to deal with her when she has something." ”

Jia Cong nodded with a smile.

After a while, the mandarin duck came in. Because she was the top priority around Jia's mother, Jia Cong thought that she would come in with a black face, but seeing her ordinary complexion, he glanced at the full young man in the room, and came up to salute: "I've seen Third Master Cong." ”

Jia Cong waved his hand gently: "Why should the Mandarin Duck girl be polite? I don't know if the ancestor sent you over? ”

The mandarin duck said: "The third master forgives his sins." The old ancestor has a few words for me to pass on to the third master. ”

Jia Cong said: "I'm listening. ”

Mandarin duck said: "The old ancestor suddenly heard that the third master moved to Lixiangyuan, why didn't anyone sue her beforehand?" Was it when she died? ”

Jia Cong was surprised: "Why do you want to sue the old lady for such a common thing?" It had nothing to do with her. ”

Mandarin Duck said strangely: "Doesn't family affairs have anything to do with the old lady? What does that have to do with her? ”

Jia Congdao stretched out his hand and counted her fingers: "What does the old lady want to eat in the morning?" What does the old lady want to eat at noon? What does the old lady want to eat at night? What does the old lady want to wear? Does the old lady want to go out and visit the temple? Does the old lady want to listen to the play? That's what she has to do with it. ”

Mandarin Duck sneered: "According to the third master, except for the old lady's diet and daily life, she can't control the things at home?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Hmm. ”

The mandarin duck said angrily: "Is this going to be reversed? ”

Jia Cong said: "Hmm. ”

The mandarin duck didn't know how to pick it up for a while, and was stunned.

Jia Cong said: "The mandarin duck girl is a real person, I only ask you one sentence: the ancestor is unhappy with 10,000 in his heart, how will she be?" Is there a way for her to let me move out? How many people does she have under her? How's Kung Fu? Maybe you can beat me brothers? ”

Mi'er took the lead in pinching the joints, and all the teenagers followed when they saw it, and the sound of pinching joints was all over the room for a while, which sounded quite infiltrating.

The mandarin duck was stunned, and only after a while did he say: "Could it be that the third master dares not to listen to the words of the old ancestor?" ”

Jia Cong smiled: "Since the second wife was involved in the case of embezzlement of ink, have we heard her old man's words?" I can't remember. If the Mandarin Duck girl remembers, why don't you give me an example? ”

The mandarin ducks that were said immediately lost their momentum, and their bodies were half shorter.

Jia Cong's face sank, and said: "Mandarin duck girl, I call you 'girl', not because you are the number one celebrity around the old lady, but because I know that you have always been self-respecting and self-loving, and you never use power to bully others. You must know that even if your ancestors value you, you are just a girl. I'm raised by an aunt again, and I'm also the master. You just said, 'It's the other way around,' and that's right. If you dare to shout at me, your master, is really the opposite. I will immediately drag you out and beat you to death, even if the ancestor knows, there is no way; I dare to sell you in front of her, do you believe it or not? ”

The mandarin duck gasped, remembering his parents who had been sent back from Nanjing, trembling in vain, and fell to his knees with a thud.

"Besides, you're not stupid. When the ancestor is one day, my father will naturally honor her and eat and wear without worry. Don't point fingers at her. really tore his face, my father is a master who is not afraid of anything, but the second uncle may not. The situation of the second uncle in the coming day is in the hands of the old lady. teasing cats and dogs to watch dramas with peace of mind, the second uncle can live in this house for two more years; I still want to point fingers, our grandfather will definitely not listen to or say a word, -- don't do those big dreams of the Spring and Autumn Festival with the same authority as before, really, really, really, say important things three times -- make my father angry, and immediately split up, and Brother Baoyu and Second Uncle may not be able to share a few dollars. The money is repaid, the second wife and the ancestors have a lot of private treasury, but I am afraid that the second uncle's family will not be short of money with her help; It's just that the second uncle's official son is too small, smaller than my brother. The old ancestor has seen the ups and downs for so many years, and naturally understands the difference between inside and outside the Rongguo Mansion. Otherwise, the Xue family moved out of our house in a hurry, why didn't they dare to go back to their own house, but went to the Wang family? Jia Cong sighed and said earnestly, "In the past, when the second uncle pressed on my father's head, how did my father endure it, so please ask the old lady and the second uncle to endure it too." It's all a family, and it's about the same amount of effort to endure it. ”

Where did the mandarin duck think that he would say it so unabashedly? I didn't know how to deal with it at all, so I knelt in the moment and was stunned for a long time, and said in a daze: "Isn't the old man afraid that the old lady will sue him for disobedience?" ”

Jia Cong snorted, "Oh? Sue whom? Who calls the shots for her? If the saint likes my father, he will not make the decision for her, otherwise why do you think that the second brother's official position is higher than that of the second uncle, and the eldest sister is released when she is full of age? The old sage didn't like him anymore because the second uncle wrote an excerpt and took the lead in returning the treasury silver, and everyone in the world knew that the old lady was partial to the second uncle, so the old sage would not make decisions for her. Excuse me, who is she going to call for to make decisions for her? But don't talk about the royal law, in today's world, the royal law is the law of the saint and the old saint. Besides, my father has never been a filial son for so many years, and if he is not filial, he is not filial, and he is as unfilial as before, and there is no difference, right? ”

When the mandarin duck heard about the "saint old saint", he knew that the old lady and the second room were gone; When I heard it, my heart became more and more like I was immersed in bile. was stunned again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The slave is just a messenger, there is rudeness, and I hope that the third master will forgive his sins." He kowtowed.

Jia Cong nodded, didn't call her up, and said, "Therefore, please also ask the Mandarin Duck girl to pass the word back to the old lady." For the sake of face, if no one comes to mess with my father, my father will be at peace with her and the second uncle. If someone comes to provoke him, the ancestors know that my father is not a person who loves face. At that time, many things were not taken care of. ”

The mandarin duck suddenly laughed and said: "The slave wants to inquire about a gossip, if the third master is willing to fulfill the curiosity of the slave, it will be fulfilled, and it is natural to be unhappy." ”

Jia Cong said: "You say, and look at me if I'm happy." ”

"I don't know when the master got the holy favor?"

Jia Cong took a closer look at her, and saw that her eyes were slightly closed, and her body was trembling, which was obviously extremely afraid. Naizan said: "I never thought that the Mandarin Duck girl would be so faithful. If you look for death like this, it is obvious that it was not ordered by the ancestor to tell you, but you thought about it temporarily? How dare you say it? Do you think that the face of the old ancestor is still so big that I don't dare to drag you out and beat you to death, or are you so loyal to the old ancestor that you dare to risk your life to fight for her? ”

The brothers shouted "kill to death" from the side, and the murderous aura overflowed the whole room, so frightened that the mandarin ducks were spread on the ground and could not move.

Jia Cong wasn't ready to really kill her, so he had to scare and scare Jia's mother, because he sneered: "Count your luck, I, Jia Cong, don't like to kill women." . ”

It took a long time for the mandarin duck to stand up tremblingly, kowtow to him, and run away as if fleeing for his life.

In the middle of the night, a person named Tian Gengzi asked, "General...... A person who is a saint? ”

Jia Cong smiled and said: "What I just said is all nonsense, don't believe half a word." My father has nothing to do with the saint and half of the copper plate, so he uses his name to scare the old lady. ”

Everyone didn't understand it even more, and Wu You also asked, "Aren't you afraid that they will know the truth in the future?" ”

Jia Cong snorted: "How do they know the truth? Go ask the saints? How to ask? Who is the saint, and can she see it if she wants to? Besides, even if she sees it, does she dare to ask such a thing? ”

The crowd was dumbfounded. After a pause, the room burst into laughter.

After laughing, Jia Cong hurriedly sent Lan Xiang back to his father one by one, and Lan Xiang came back with two words from Jia Yu: "Bastard!" ”

Because of the first day of living in Jia's Mansion, Jia Cong unceremoniously dismissed Shi Taijun's face, and by the way, even borrowed the name of the saint casually, this group of children were extremely happy, and they all slept quite peacefully that night.

The mandarin duck went back and scared everyone, and cried to Jia's mother: "The third master really wanted to kill me that time." ”

Mother Jia comforted her a few words, but she believed Jia Cong's nonsense, and filmed the case in vain, thinking in her heart: I am afraid that the saint, Concubine Hui and the boss conspired to sing a play that day, for the 800,000 taels of silver. It's a pity that the second family made Fugui dazzled, and he was bent on seeking a future for Yuanchun, but he never saw that this was a false trick. I can't help but stay awake all night.

Early the next morning, she leaned on the kang and sighed: "Since the saint has no intention of giving the eldest girl a concubine, let's come out early." ”。
