Coming out of the mourning hall and looking at the boy next to him who was four years younger than him, Jia Cong smiled and asked, "Brother Huan'er, how are you doing lately?" ”

Jia Huan sniffed, and suddenly smiled on his listless face, and said, "It's okay, but it's not very good." Last time, I was hit by the board again in school, and it hurt......"

Jia Cong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Naughty again?" ”

Jia Huan seemed to feel wronged, pursed his mouth, looked left and right with a pair of eyes, and told everything that happened in the Spring Exploration Courtyard that day.

Finally, he said: "I can't help it, I saw that the old lady was about to make someone beat Sister Ping'er and Xiao Qi, so I went to find the master." It was fine, but my wife called me to get the rose brine, and as soon as I was happy, I said that I was bald...... Alas, that's it, I admit it. Mrs. Left and Right are good, they didn't hurt me, they just sued me to school, and let Mr. beat me up. ”

Seeing that he shook his head and sighed like a little adult, and said that Mrs. Wang was good, Jia Cong flashed a smile and stroked his brain, Jia Huan happily invited credit: "Third brother, have you received the letter I gave you?" ”

Jia Cong nodded and said, "I received it, and your sister Lin also received it." ”

Jia Huan became more and more happy, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Did Sister Lin smack him hard?" Did you say you wanted to come back and smack him in person? ”

Jia Cong couldn't help but laugh and said, "What are you doing so much about Baoyu?" You study hard, and you won't be worse than him in the future. ”

At the mention of the word "reading", Jia Huan's little face stepped over, and he became listless again, and said: "Third brother, I don't like to read, I want to be a Goshha ...... for you."

Goshha is the original Sao Tartar saying, that is, the general's side of the horse, the retinue of the horse.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the ceremonial hall in front of him, Jia Cong patted Jia Huan's little shoulder and said, "You must read more books and read more, even if you take the road of military attaché, you must be older." Okay, let's go back and talk about it, come with me to see the master? ”

Jia Huan and Baoyu are almost inseparable, and they are bluffed when they see Jia Zheng.

In addition, he told Jia Zheng last time that Baoyu's attempted suicide had already happened, if it weren't for Aunt Zhao's begging, Baoyu's behavior would indeed be inappropriate, and Jia Zheng was afraid that Jia Huan, the rebel cane, would be killed......

became more and more afraid of seeing Jia Zheng, and shook his head again and again: "The third brother is going to go, I have to read and write for a while today!" ”

Jia Cong looked at his serious lying appearance, knocked on his forehead, and after seeing him flee with a smile, Fang restrained his smile and entered the ceremonial hall.

……

"Qingchen!"

In the ceremonial hall, the originally somewhat awkward and solemn atmosphere was broken with the arrival of Jia Cong.

Tu Cheng, the prince of Zheng Guo, Zuo Si, the prince of Xinguo, Zhao Siyang, the prince of Jiangxia, Zhou Sui, the prince of Yongcheng, and Mei Zu, the son of Yongcheng, got up with Li Hu, the son of the founding prince, and greeted Jia Cong.

Before, they sat together with Jia Zheng and Jia Dairu and other elders of the Jia family, although they exchanged a few words, they were all bulls' heads and horses' mouths.

The top officials in this group of martial arts families look down on the "old and young" of the founding nobles from the bottom of their hearts.

Jia Zheng and the others couldn't communicate with a group of tiger-like generals.

After sitting for a long time, both sides felt extremely uncomfortable.

If it weren't for Li Hu and Jia Cong's friendship, they would have given face to this leading brother, and listened to Li Hu say that there would be a good show in Rongguo Mansion today, and they would never have entered the gate of Jia's house.

"Sub-weight."

Jia Cong returned the salute, but was given a big hug by Li Hu, and a wry smile flashed in his eyes.

After Li Hu let go of his hand, he looked Jia Cong up and down, nodded and said, "Being thin like this, it can be seen that you have suffered a lot." You have walked thousands of miles in more than a month, although the elite cavalry is different from the march of the army, but your speed has also reached the limit, not inferior to the disease. ”

Jia Cong curled the corners of his mouth a little, looked at Li Hu and said, "Hussar captain, how can I hear a little sourness?" ”

When Li Hu heard this, his black face turned red, and he smiled and punched Jia Cong on the shoulder, and said, "You kid is embarrassed to say it!" I originally went to this champion Hou, and exchanged my family for Ducheng! As a result, you got a head start...... Qingchen, be careful, the people on Xuanguogong's side are jealous. Yesterday, the little squint of the Chengguo Mansion also said that there will be something to happen today, so you should make some preparations in advance. That group of indiscriminate and stubborn children have more than enough success and more than failure. ”

Jia Cong nodded when he heard this, he didn't care about his appearance, and said, "Don't worry, Zizhong, I have a number." ”

Seeing him like this, Li Hu couldn't say anything, and the other Tu Cheng, Zuo Si and others frowned secretly.

They knew that Jia Cong had a life-saving grace for Li Hu, so they gave Li Hu this face and went to the door to hang his sacrifice.

Li Hu came today, not so much to pay tribute, but to press Jia Cong.

They're here to help.

As a result, people don't take it to heart, how can people like it?

Li Hu is an atmospheric person, he knows that Jia Cong is not an ordinary young man, the city is very deep, and he has his own success, so he put aside these and said to Jia Cong: "Qingchen, let the immortal pass away, take us to worship in front of the spirit, and always kowtow to show respect." ”

As soon as these words came out, Moti Jia Zheng and the Jia family looked moved, and even Jia Cong hesitated and said, "This ...... You don't have to, right? ”

Li Hu frowned and said, "What is this called?" You and I have different surnames, Ling Tang Immortal died, if I don't kowtow, others will only say that I Li Hu is bullshit. ”

When Jia Cong heard this, he nodded and said, "That's fine." So the other brothers are waiting here first? ”

He looked at Tu Cheng, Zuo Si and the others with a light gaze.

He has no friendship with these people, and there is no reason for them to kowtow.

Li Hu originally wanted to let them go together, but seeing that Tu Cheng and the others were obviously unwilling, they didn't force it.

said to Jia Cong: "Good brother, let's find another place, we will occupy more space, and it is not good to hinder your master from entertaining guests." ”

Jia Zheng was naturally busy saying that it was okay, and after Jia Cong said a few words with him, he led a group of generals to the side hall.

After letting Zuo Si, Tu Cheng and others sit down in the side hall, they led Li Hu to the mourning hall.

After kowtowing respectfully, Li Hu said to Jia Cong: "Qingchen, find a quiet place, let's talk for a while." ”

Jia Cong led Li Hu into the inner wing again.

After entering the room, Li Hu looked at Jia Cong with a solemn face, and said anxiously: "Good brother, how can you take this errand?" Don't you know that this is a dead end?! ”

Jia Cong sighed lightly and said, "Why don't I know? It's just that...... How can I choose? But Zizhong doesn't have to worry too much, when today's Zi is an unprecedented Mingjun. As long as I am faithful to the king, even if I offend everyone, the Son of Heaven will protect me. The Son of Heaven loves the people, and I am also the people of the Son of Heaven. ”

When Li Hu heard this, he almost laughed angrily, and wanted to say it more bluntly, but suddenly saw Jia Cong's gaze different.

He was shocked, remembering that his father had reminded him that he must pay attention to proportions when speaking outside, and be careful about the "moths" in the "Zhongche Mansion" in the palace.

It's just that he didn't expect things to come to this point.

Jia Cong saw that his eyes were full of worry and solemnity, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and he had a better impression of this open-minded and upright prince, patted his arm, and said, "Don't worry, it's okay." The Son of Heaven has a lot of grace to me, and he is by no means the one who is ungrateful as it is said from the outside. By the way, Zizhong, has your family and the government complied with the new law and asked the court to measure the acres of land? ”

Hearing this, Li Hu shook his head again and again and said, "Why not?" On the first day, my lord opened the door of the house and asked the people in the household department to take inventory. But...... Ning Zechen's husband was really ruthless, and he didn't even let go of Yongye Tian when he measured the acres. I can't figure it out, it's the wealth that the ancestors exchanged for their lives! Can Yongyetian still collect taxes? ”

Jia Cong also frowned when he heard this, and said, "Yongye Tian also has to pay taxes?" ”

Yongye Tian is a hereditary tax-free field allocated by the imperial court to the nobles for food, in fact, there are not much, and the Yongye field of the Guogong is only 40 hectares, or 4,000 acres.

Even if it is a good year, you can't receive much silver in a year, and the meaning of symbolizing status and wealth is more than income.

The big head is actually on the other granges annexed by the Xungui family, and Yongye Tian is not even a fraction.

Li Hu said angrily: "Ning Zechen said that since even the preferential and exempt fields of the clan royal relatives and gentry officials have to pay taxes as a whole, the honors and nobles naturally cannot be an exception, so how can they enjoy the preferential and exempt treatment of Yongye Field?" Fuck it! Is this the same thing? Originally, my father also persuaded a lot of mansions not to do it at this time. As soon as Ning Zechen's statement came out, many people immediately turned their faces and denied it, only saying that this fang was too deceitful! Qingchen, why do I think this old dog is digging a hole for you? I know that you came back this time to face Xungui, and you simply came to our Zhenyuan Xungui. My dad and they persuaded most people not to fight on this outlet. But he is so, and it is all mixed up! ”

Jia Cong's brows tightened when he heard this, but what he was thinking about was the pair of monarchs and ministers of Emperor Chongkang and Ning Zechen.

One released the celestial phenomenon of "killing the wolf", and the other even wanted to fight Yongyetian's idea.

It's all radical and a little hysterical......

What exactly do they want to do?

Unable to understand for a while, Jia Cong pinched his eyebrows and asked Li Hu, "Did your Yongye Tian let them measure it?" ”

Li Hu smiled bitterly: "How dare my family stop the power of the three princes' violent death?" At this time, let alone Yongye Tian, even if the land occupied by the founding mansion is taxed together, no one in my family said anything, it is too thrilling...... I just don't want to understand, I can understand this truth, why are those uncles obsessed? ”

Jia Cong shook his head slightly and said, "Zizhong's family style is solemn and upright, and there is no extravagance, but other families are different. Many people, the outer shelf is still there, but the inner bag has long come up. They were unwilling to pay taxes and cut their meat, and now Yongyetian just gave them a serious excuse to resist. ”

When Li Hu heard this, he sighed dejectedly and said, "You can still see clearly, sometimes even I can't stand what those people do...... But what I said didn't work. Although those mansions are close to the Founding Mansion, they will not obey my family's words. ”

Jia Cong couldn't help but laugh and said: "If they all obey your family's words, then your family will already have a big . Troublesome, paid it back? Well, don't think about it. There is no way to move your mouth to these people. Rotten flesh can only be cut! ”

Li Hu was shocked when he heard this, and was about to ask, but suddenly saw Jia Lian and Jia Yun hurriedly walking in from outside, their faces were ugly and angry.

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Jia Cong asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Jia Lian said angrily: "Third brother, go out and have a look, it's amazing!" ”

Jia Cong frowned and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Li Hu thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "Is it that Cai Chang's group of forgotten bastards have arrived?" ”

Jia Lian stomped his feet angrily and said, "It's that guy, they...... They set up the tabernacles, but they were ...... But he also brought a prostitute with a body to beat and scold there, and said ...... Said ...... Hi! Jia Lian's tears were about to fall.

Hearing this, Li Hu's eyes turned red with anger, and he roared angrily, "It's too much to deceive people", but he saw that Jia Cong had already raised his feet and went out.
