Xicheng Baozhong Street Shifu, Shi Nai, Shi Ding, Jia Cong three sedan chairs outside the main gate off the sedan chair, followed by Jia Cong is Zhong Yin, Wu Zhuangyuan led by the pro-soldiers and family Ding, Jia Cong's original pacesetter management team only two, respectively Long Wei and Ai Shuangshuang, now Ai Shuangshuang has become a feudal official. At this time, he was followed by the rotation of duty, Wu Zhuangyuan and Wu Sange were both collected or rescued at the post station and Yumi Town in Hebei, and Zhong Yin was obtained from Qinghe Zhongjiazhuang when he was patrolling the river, these people can now be on their own, equipped with hot and cold weapons, and there is no problem in leading people to protect Jia Cong's safety.

Shi Nai's people and sedan chair men immediately ran over to inform the opening of the main gate to greet them ceremoniously, and the porter of Shi Mansion was stunned for a moment, it has only been such a short time, why did our fierce and irascible Hou men change their minds so easily?

Could it be that Jia Cong has received the grace of the Holy Family again? Today is the Winter Solstice Ceremony!

Although the news they got was not clear, but like the Ning Guofu in Jiafu before, the affairs of the masters, the minions always did not know, and even the ugly thing of picking up ashes, which was eager to cover up the mold and smell, could be spread by the subordinates, which can be imagined. Jia Cong's bet with the Hou Ye is no exception, but fortunately, this is not a scandal.

But in any case, when I saw Jia Cong and his personal soldiers, they were still the same as when they first came to Shifu last time, although they were not arrogant, but they were domineering, and the porters, stewards, and servants of the Shifu were quite unpleasant......

However, they could not be angry, and the Analects said, "Those who serve the king have three sorrows: irritability when they do not speak, concealment when they say nothing, and blindness when they do not see color." This means that the courtiers who serve the monarch mainly observe the words and colors, and learn to find the right time to speak, and the ministers are still the same to the king, not to mention their slaves to the master?

Therefore, when the stewards of the Shi Mansion saw Shi Nai's majestic Hou Men bearing, although it was not as exaggerated as groveling, they all talked and laughed with Jia Cong, and surrounded Jia Cong in the middle, looking like an old friend, this ...... What else can they say?

Zhong Yin, Wu Zhuangyuan and Jia Cong, seeing their faces, they were a little refreshed!

Jia Cong asked himself if he was not a saint, no matter in his past or present life, he grew up in being looked down upon and discriminated against, and he never had a good face for people who looked down on people with dog eyes, and his disregard for the tragic experience of his sister-in-law Wang Xifeng is proof.

Entering the hall, the little maids who followed Shi Nai Shi Ding took the first step to report back to the second lady and the third lady inside, as well as the kitchen, the two ladies of the Shi family were still discussing in the ear room, Shi Xiangyun was greeting her, Aunt Zhou and Cui Wei were there, and the little maid said: "Back to the two wives, Uncle Cong of the Jia family is fine, but the holy family Enlong, the Hou Ye said that he can't fall off the horse, after the expiration of the filial piety period of the Cong family, there may be a time to soar into the sky." Our bet is lost. But Hengzhu is a family, not speaking two words, and has prepared good melon and fruit snacks, and the good students entertain Cong Ye, a university scholar, and the position of Cong Ye Xige and Renhua Hall scholars has been leading, which may take over the first assistant's class. The Hou Ye said that he had a big matter to talk about with Master Cong, don't be mistaken! ”

After speaking, the little servants who have never greeted their Houmen's daughter Shi Xiangyun looked at Shi Xiangyun respectfully, Shi Xiangyun could feel a little afraid of them, and it was no wonder that they were never taken by the two aunts to do the work of the subordinates, and they did not have the status and real power of the daughter at all, how could they be in awe? Only now is different, the little guys said: "The Hou masters said, ask the young lady to go to the main hall to thank you." ”

Shi Xiangyun couldn't hide her excitement, if it weren't for the two aunts by her side, she would have been able to exclaim with joy, but she still clenched the hand of the close girl Cui Wei and said with a smile: "It's really my good brother, now I'm ...... We don't have to be so bitter! ”

She was going to say, "I don't have to get bogged down anymore!" ”

But in front of the majestic two aunts, how can they say it!

"How is this possible!" The second lady of the Shi family exclaimed in surprise.

"How could Jia Cong have such a means, what did he do?!" The third lady took the case, and it was still unbelievable!

How is this possible?

Jia Cong's situation and rumors in officialdom have always been bad! There are many opponents, and political enemies are full of courts, and from time to time they will jump out and spray him to attack him, which makes people panic all day long. Although the official reputation of the people is very good, some people are afraid, and the people use his portrait to ward off evil spirits!

These are incomprehensible, but similar to Jia Cong's status, there are understandable, this situation, thousands of years ago, the great philosopher Lao Tzu explained in the seventh chapter of the "Tao Te Ching": "Heaven and earth are eternal, the reason why heaven and earth can be long and long, because it is not self-generated, so it can live forever." Is it the saint who comes after his body and exists outside his body, not by his selflessness? Therefore, it can become its own selfishness. ”

The sages are understood according to dialectics and positive and negative transformations: people who work hard are often able to preserve themselves, and those who are selfless and dedicated are often able to achieve their own selfishness.

Of course, these words are not absolute, but a matter of probability, at least this is the case with Jia Cong.

"Serving the people" and then transforming it into one's own selfishness and authority, is also the case, contradiction, reality.

The two wives of the Shi family don't hate Jia Cong very much, they have nothing to do with Jia Cong at all, that bit of kinship is useless at all, it is very thin, after all, it has been several generations...... It's just that Jia Cong openly revealed the fact that they treated Shi Xiangyun badly that day, isn't this not giving them face? How can this be without mustard and anger? They are not prime ministers, and they have no belly to support the boat.

But...... But I still can't help but be angry and lead the maid to serve a cup and plate of wine and food, they raise their eyebrows to their husbands, it's just a courtesy, and the maid who came to Shifu is indeed much, much less than Jiafu in Jia Cong's eyes......

In the flower hall in the backyard, after three rounds of wine and five flavors, Jia Cong is not so straightforward this time, after all, he is not an enemy with the Shi family, he doesn't stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person, and he also eats and drinks with a smile, Shi Xiangyun looks extremely well-behaved at this time, but it is still difficult to hide her innocence and lively optimism, and salutes Jia Cong: "Brother Cong, Sister Yun thank you very much for helping our family, we will definitely manage it well and not cause trouble for you." ”

Jia Cong nodded, speaking of Shi Xiangyun's optimism is not without reason, although she was mistreated, but the Shi family could not abuse her, after all, she still had a face, it can only be said that it is a bit similar to the hard work of the farmer, well, Shi Xiangyun at this time cannot be said to be very miserable, can only be said to be very bitter.

The two Mrs. Shifu, who had been reported by the little maid and the companions, also swallowed their breath, and took a sip of a relative's Cong'er with a smile on their faces, shouting very kindly, like Jia Cong's mother who had never met. The third wife of the Shi family looked a little more polite than the second wife, she held back her anger and said with a smile: "I said Cong'er, since this is the case, then I often ask Baochai to come over and play with her, or often take you to your side, and she also often goes." In the future, whatever store she wants to play, she will hand it over to Nurse Zhou. We're not going to get too deep. ”

What Shi Ding Shi Nai and them thought was: "Xiangyun and Aunt Zhou's business, no matter what, we have to give us some and enjoy it, and Jia Cong's side has a big profit, isn't it cost-effective to sell Xiangyun?" This is a cash cow! ”

After figuring it out, their hearts blossomed!

Jia Congquan didn't know about this layer, he was more satisfied with the acquaintance of the historian. Shi Xiangyun's eyes were full of stars when she looked at him at this time, she couldn't discern how she felt now, she only felt that Jia Cong was the warm day in the winter of her life, and she secretly said in her heart: "Jia Cong is really my light!" When I have the right to operate, I have gained the right to speak in the family step by step, maybe I can really help him! ”

Although Jia Cong didn't think too much about it, this kind of feeling of helping others, and the people being helped are not bad people, and then being sincerely grateful, this feeling is ...... In fact, it is also very refreshing and refreshing.

Very good.

In "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Qiao's sentence "Leaving Yuqing" has "fortunate mother, accumulated yin gong".

This case actually shows that sometimes you do something good unintentionally, and you may not be able to repay it immediately, but after some time, the way of reciprocation is always unexpected.

In the original book, Wang Xifeng did this good deed, and it did save her daughter.

Of course, this is also a matter of probability, not proportional absolute relations.

However, it is much better to do something good than to be punished with retaliation for doing evil, which is why many rich people should be "charitable", including Mrs. Wang.

This banquet was only a temporary part of the original historian's share of the business, Jia Cong said goodbye, and when he returned to Jiafu, he felt that the eyes of his subordinates looked at him a little more awe, and he thought that these things would spread quickly.

At the same time, the Xue family is also very excited, and the Wang family in Jinling is also constantly collecting news from various relatives......
