"Lord Jia came to the cold house in person, making my family flourish, and the Qiu family is grateful!"

There was still a stone's throw away, so Qiu Lun led the housekeeper and his two sons and three grandsons to greet him and bow down.

A smile appeared on Jia Cong's face, and he said, "Qiu Yuanwai said that he laughed, your family invited us to visit the garden, it should be us to thank you for your hospitality." ”

After that, he turned over and dismounted to return the favor.

Hearing Jia Cong's naughty words, Qiu Lun was overjoyed!

In his heart, he respected the old man of the Zhao family who lived like a fine man to his bones, and it was exactly the same as he expected.

This young dignitary has indeed come to ease the relationship.

After making up his mind, Qiu Lun became more and more kind and enthusiastically introduced his family.

Naturally, there will be no youthful and brain-dead scenes, even if it is Qiu Lun's three grandsons who are not much older than Jia Cong, they are also respectfully greeting Jia Cong.

Jia Cong's fame and achievements are far from comparable to their contemporaries, not to mention the huge background behind him.

It is difficult for the children and grandchildren of the Qiu family to even be jealous, let alone show hatred......

In fact, these young people will never have any differences in their manners and deeds when they have elders.

After the introduction, Qiu Lun apologized to Jia Cong and said: "The daughter of the Qiu family is a person in the house of Lin Yanyuan, and she has this level of involvement, so she should have invited adults to come to the mansion as a guest a long time ago. It's just that the adults are busy with official business, and they don't dare to disturb it. Secondly...... In the winter months, the flowers withered, the pond dried up, and there was no beautiful scenery to see, so it was delayed. Fortunately, this year's plum forest in the garden actually opened half a month earlier than in previous years, and finally had a place to enjoy the scenery. Yuan also just went to try it with sincerity, after all, the adult is high, and the official business is too busy, I never thought that the adult would appreciate the face, it is really a blessing for the Qiu family! ”

The low posture of these words made Qiu Lun's children and grandchildren a little unnatural.

No matter what the Qiu family says, they are also one of the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou.

The entire Yangzhou Mansion, the entire Jiangnan, in terms of fundamental strength, the Qiu family is also one of the few families.

Even if the governor of Jiangnan came in person, it was Bai Shijie of the Bai family, and Qiu Lun had never "whispered" like this.

But I don't want to, in front of a teenager today, to make such compromises......

Jia Cong didn't expect it, he knew that Qiu Lun had wanted to support Bai Shijie several times, and there was no impermeable wall in the world.

Now, it seems, he wants to make amends.

It's just that......

After quietly sweeping the expressions of everyone in front of Qiu's Mansion back and forth a few times, Jia Cong's original confidence in his heart was only fifty percent, and then it rose to sixty percent, or even seventy percent......

Although Qiu Lun still can't see that there is any problem, and there are many people around him, not everyone has such a good psychological quality.

Because he found that there were at least three people, their eyes evasive......

Jia Cong can clearly tell that this kind of look is not a kind of awe and avoidance of nobles, but a kind of weakness of heart and a kind of unkindness......

After retracting his gaze, he smiled and said: "Qiu Yuanwai is too polite, Aunt Qiu takes care of my uncle carefully every day, and is not afraid of tiredness, and I and other juniors are quite grateful in my heart." Although the Qiu family is a family of salt merchants, they can inherit the family style of loyalty and filial piety, and they deserve our respect. Therefore, I came here today to make friends. ”

Although these words were condescending, no one in the Qiu family felt that Jia Cong was frivolous.

Not to mention Jia Cong's official position, only he was born in the first-class Rongguo Mansion in Shenjing, and there is a second-class nobleman on his body, which is enough to overwhelm anyone in Yangzhou Mansion.

With his identity, if he proposes to be friendly, it is no different from the Rongguo Mansion to be friendly with the Qiu family.

In addition to being happy, what other feelings can the Qiu family have?

In addition, Jia Cong praised Aunt Qiu as a junior, which made Qiu Lun even more happy.

Naturally, it was a lot of warm courtesy, which made the atmosphere more and more hot.

Qiu Lun glanced at Zhan Peng, who was always guarding Jia Cong's back, smiled kindly and nodded slightly to show understanding, and then invited: "My lord, it's better to drink tea in the mansion first, and the ladies of your mansion can also go into the inner hall to rest for a while, so as to relieve the labor of the carriage and horses." Although the humble house is far less wealthy than the house, it still has a collection of some good tea......"

Jia Cong smiled and refused: "It's not necessary, Ben Jue still has official business today, first send his relatives here, let him meet Aunt Qiu and Miss Qiu, and go to Xingyu Street to take a look, the Bai family and the An family's house raiding work is about to end......

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Lun swallowed the words that he wanted to persuade again, and his face became faintly unnatural.

Jia Cong smiled and reminded: "Qiu Yuanwai, you are a fair person, tell me, the Bai family and the An family, are they innocent, or is my Jinyiwei deliberately making things difficult for them?" Especially to settle down? ”

When Qiu Lun heard this, his old face twitched, and when he saw that Jia Cong had been looking at him, he sighed helplessly, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "The An family is indeed innocent...... No one thought that such an honest and good man as Anwar Suri would do such a heart-wrenching thing. ”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "So, as long as you don't do bad things, you can be fearless." Didn't I act in accordance with the law? Those who do not violate the law of the land need not be afraid of us. ”

Hearing this, Qiu Lun didn't say anything, his grandson Qiu Lin, who had been a transparent person nearby, looked really unbearable, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, if this is the case, what is the difference between Jinyi Wei and ordinary yamen?" ”

Qiu Lun and Qiu Lin's father were furious when they saw this, and they wanted to reprimand, but they were stopped by Jia Cong waving his hand, and Wen Yan explained: "The biggest difference between Jinyiwei and Dali Temple, the Criminal Department and the local yamen is that they must obtain evidence through formal channels before they can act according to the rules. In many cases, the government knows that the other party is guilty, but because of many obstructions, it is unable to collect evidence, and even after collecting evidence, it cannot bring the prisoners to justice, and has to help them suppress it...... For example, the Bai family.

Doesn't the local government know about the Bai family's crimes? They knew, but they couldn't move, and they didn't dare to move. But it doesn't matter, they can't move, Jinyiwei can. They didn't dare to move, but the brocade dared to move. Do you understand? ”

When Qiu Lin heard this, he laughed dryly, nodded and said, "I understand, my lord is mighty......"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "It's not that I'm mighty, it's the majesty of the Son of Heaven!" I'm just acting on the royal power......"

Taking the opportunity of this conversation, he looked at the eyes of the people around him again, and couldn't help but sympathize with the Qiu family in his heart.

As soon as he finished speaking, he said to Qiu Lun, who nodded slowly thoughtfully: "Outside Qiu, let's invite you inside." ”

Qiu Lun came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Please, please first!" ”

Jia Cong smiled, and under the escort of Zhanpeng, he entered the Qiu family's gatehouse with Qiu Lun and the rest of the Qiu family.

The six grandmothers in the last two carriages got out of the carriage first, walked to the front carriages to take care of them, and slowly entered the gate.

The two hundred horses were arranged by the Qiu family to be entertained in the front yard, and although the Qiu family's horse shed could not feed two hundred war horses at a time, it was still possible to feed them separately.

However, as the carriage entered, there were still twenty soldiers.

……

Yanzheng Yamen, back house.

It's approaching, and the back house, which should have been lively and lively, is surprisingly quiet today.

Xiaojiao'er, Fang Yuanyuan, Juan'er, Mi'er, Xiaozhu and Song Yan's old wife Wu Shi made up the ten little girls for Jia Cong, in the past, they should have been chattering and laughing in the courtyard a long time ago, and the carefree cleaning was stubborn, Daiyu was not as rigorous as Baochai, and she was not restrained and naughty.

But at this moment, the back house seemed empty and silent.

The grandmothers who kept vigil in each room had already gone to rest, only the eldest girl Chi Yu took a few daughters-in-law from the Song Mansion to inspect the rooms, and watched a few rough maids of the Lin family sweep the courtyards, and then went to do their own things.

The huge back house of the Yanzheng Yamen did not have much noise, and it seemed a lot of gloom......

But suddenly, four healthy women who looked like they were just dressed as third-class grandmothers, and although they were in the second gate, they were not serving inside, quietly appeared in front of the gate of Daiyu Courtyard.

Although the four of them are women, they are quite strong, and they often carry soft sedan chairs as their internal affairs.

They didn't speak, they looked at each other, and their eyes were full of coldness and viciousness.

After looking left and right to make sure that there was no one, the four of them walked towards the courtyard.

……

Lotus Garden.

Song Yan put down his pen, stood at the desk and looked at it for a while, then smiled indifferently and said: "Calligraphy also needs talent, and I am not as good as Cong'er in the Qingchen body." ”

On the side, his grandson Song Hua looked at the words on the desktop paper and said with a smile: "Grandfather, my uncle's pen power is beautiful, but his strength is not as good as that of my grandfather." ”

Song Yan smiled dumbly, shook his head and said: "His calligraphy is not necessary to ......be strong" As he said, his old eyes suddenly had a touch of relief and thought, and recalled: "I remember that year, he was much thinner than now, wearing a coarse clothes that didn't fit well, and his face was yellow and thin. But that good word amazed me and Shou Heng and Runqin. I was entrusted by Mr. Mu Min to take him as a disciple, but I thought it was just for ...... Oh, I didn't expect Cong'er to have such an amazing talent. Now every time Mr. Mu Min mentions this matter, he regrets it, and he can't wait for the time to go against the current, he will give up his old face and personally accept Cong'er as an apprentice. ”

Seeing that Song Yan's face covered with age spots was full of pride, Song Hua was amused and complimented: "Grandfather, this is the will of heaven, and the little uncle should become a disciple of his grandfather and inherit his grandfather's mantle." ”

Song Yan smiled and said, "What he inherited is not my mantle...... but he didn't say much, and continued: "Originally, I saw that he was so thin, and he was abused by his biological father and mother. ”

Song Hua said: "This is the expression of Yan Lugong in the Tang Dynasty, Yan Lugong was fierce and loyal and filial piety all his life, and in the chaos of the army, he dared to spit on the rebellious Li Xilie in person. ”

Song Yan nodded, a smile on his face, and said, "That's right, this is my original intention!" Your little uncle is not ashamed of these two words, and even, his style is strong and tough, not inferior to Yan Lugong!

Let's go, since your little uncle has invited you, let's take a look at whether there are any demons and monsters today, who dare to make waves and disrupt the world under this bright and bright world! ”
