Chapter 107: Helpless
"Brother Cong is back!"
Ping'er said happily, diluting a few traces of melancholy between her eyebrows.
Jia Cong stepped forward and saluted: "Hello sister, I came back yesterday, and I couldn't greet my sister in time because I was busy with the council." ”
Ping'er pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes bent into crescents, and she said angrily: "It's still the same as before, like a little master." ”
Jia Cong got up and smiled, his face full of sunshine.
Ping'er's eyes fluctuated slightly, remembering the old lady's words yesterday, she sighed secretly in her heart, but seeing that Jia Cong didn't seem to care, she asked with a smile: "So early, are you in trouble?" ”
Jia Cong nodded and said, "I want to ask my second sister-in-law for help." ”
"What's the matter?"
Ping'er asked with concern.
Jia Cong said: "Now the eldest lord and the eldest lady are sick and can't be a director."
Wang Shanbao's family was also sent home to recuperate......
The East Road Courtyard is in a mess now, and there is no one who can take care of people.
After the old man was sent back yesterday, he didn't even have a decoction.
Although the lord asked me to take care of it, where did I have the prestige to suppress those mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law?
After thinking about it, only the second sister-in-law in the family can do this.
So I would like to please ......"
"Click!"
Before Jia Cong finished speaking, he heard a noise in the room.
He raised his eyebrows, and Wang Xifeng's voice was already heard in the room: "Is Cong'er here?" What are you doing standing outside? Ping'er still doesn't invite him in? ”
Ping'er hurriedly gave Jia Cong a look, and then the two entered together.
Wang Xifeng hadn't gotten off the kang yet, and he was still half-hidden in the quilt, but his clothes were already neatly dressed.
She didn't apply powder, her eyes were slightly red and swollen, but she didn't care much, seeing Jia Cong's rules and regulations to salute her, she laughed at herself first, and said with a smile: "It's hard to think Brother Cong, you still remember my sister-in-law, now, the whole family is looking at my jokes......"
Jia Cong hurriedly said: "Where does the second sister-in-law speak, but if you ask one in the clan, there is no one who does not say good things about the second sister-in-law."
It's me, if I hadn't had the care of my second sister-in-law and sister Ping'er, I'm afraid I might not have been able to live to this day.
So I've always been thinking about the good ...... of my second sister-in-law."
Wang Xifeng kept looking at Jia Cong with a pair of Danfeng eyes, but he could only see that he was full of sincerity.
The smile on his face softened, and then he sighed, and his voice sobbed faintly: "If this is the case, it will be my blessing."
I just hope that in the future, the third brother will become a knight, become an official, and inherit this family business, and I will be grateful if he can give me a place to live in Heping'er......"
As he spoke, he had to bow with a gesture.
Jia Cong's heart sank, and he hurriedly avoided her, and hurriedly said: "Good sister-in-law, if you say this, there will be no place for me anymore."
Yesterday, in front of the old lady, the old man, the old man, and so many other people, I swore that if I took every penny from my family, I would be thundered five times a day.
The old lady also said that the family's family business, Baoyu shared, Lan Ge'er shared, and the rest belonged to the second brother and sister-in-law.
I really don't want a penny. ”
Wang Xifeng raised his eyebrows and said, "This is strange, you don't take a penny, so how can you live?" ”
When Jia Cong heard this, he stopped pretending to be a bear, stood up straight, and said proudly: "Doesn't the second sister-in-law hear it:
Rich families don't need to buy fertile land, there are thousands of millets in the book;
There is no need to raise a hall to live in peace, and there is a golden house in the book;
Don't hate to go out with no one, there are many cars and horses in the book;
Don't hate unscrupulous matchmakers when marrying a wife, there is Yan Ruyu in the book;
If a boy follows his life's aspirations, he reads the Six Classics to the window.
I Ching sixty-four, the first hexagram:
Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement.
My generation of Confucian students should be self-reliant! ”
Looking at Jia Cong, who was standing upright, his voice was like gold and jade, and his demeanor made the eyes of Wang Xifeng and Ping'er all brilliant.
At first, when he read the poem of persuasion, Wang Xifeng was still a little funny in his heart.
Thought he was really a nerd.
But the last word "self-improvement" made her a little shocked and impressed.
She came from an extraordinary background, and she has seen many people who speak lotus flowers and speak better than they sing.
But how many people can really do three points?
However, the jade boy in front of her, in the past two or three years, she has seen step by step with her own eyes to get to where she is today, isn't it self-improvement?
I heard that this year is going to end in autumn.
I also made such a famous song before, and it was in the limelight......
After exhaling softly, Wang Xifeng's heart was inexplicably sour.
Think about this little uncle, don't care if he does it or not, he doesn't get a penny, just such ambition and style are not comparable to ordinary people.
Think about her husband who even dared to climb the bed of an old woman......
In a bad mood, his tone naturally became worse, Wang Xifeng said in disgust: "You are both reading and self-improvement, why are you still looking for me?" ”
Ping'er's face changed when she heard this, and she looked at Jia Cong worriedly.
But he didn't want Jia Cong to be able to bend and stretch, and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice."
The master asked me to take care of the East Road Courtyard, but the East Road Courtyard is now in a mess, and I don't have elite soldiers and strong generals, where can I take care of it?
Moreover, now that I am still young, even if I have the heart of self-improvement, it will take me a decade or two to slowly become stronger.
Now that I'm young, I still need my second sister-in-law to take care of ......"
Not to mention Ping'er's dumbfounded, Wang Xifeng couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "You are also a clever woman? You are a down-to-earth and good one, who ever thought that you would only pay lip service!
What I said earlier is better than singing, and it's weird to bluff people, and now you're coming to coax me again? ”
Jia Cong said with a bitter face: "Actually, I have already played the name of the second sister-in-law yesterday, and after sending the eldest master back yesterday, I didn't even instruct a person who served tea and poured water to boil medicine, but I took out ten taels of silver and borrowed the name of the second sister-in-law to instruct them."
In the past two years, I have only saved less than fifty taels of silver, and I went to twenty percent in one day, if the second sister-in-law does not come forward, I am afraid that I will not be able to support it for even three days. ”
When Wang Xifeng heard this, a touch of self-satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he sneered and said: "I think you are also incompetent, a dignified man, you are about to become a son of the world, and you can't even call a minion!" Just let people pour tea, and they have to pay for silver and pull the flag, it's really boring! ”
When Jia Cong heard this, he lowered his eyes and said, "Second sister-in-law, my son of this world...... Others don't know, don't you still know what's going on?
I don't like the old lady, even if I add that false name, what does it matter in the eyes of others?
If I really take it seriously, then I'm lost. ”
Seeing that he was so "self-aware", Wang Xifeng slowly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Although she is not afraid that Jia Cong will use righteousness to oppress people, if she really wants to do that, she is actually uncomfortable.
After all, Jia Cong is no longer the child behind the rockery of Donglu Courtyard two years ago.
was abused and bruised, and could only break the game by selling.
Now, there is Yan Shenggong who appreciates him behind him, and there is the great Sikong of the dynasty as his teacher, and even the master is looking towards him.
If she really wants to make trouble, she is also ugly.
Fortunately, he is smart enough.
knows that in Jiafu, the old lady's favor is the holy family.
Without a saint, nothing is worth a name......
Filial piety is the head, and no one can turn the sky behind it!
Seeing Ping'er looking at her worriedly, Wang Xifeng, who was in a much better mood, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Seeing you doing such a difficult job, how about I, as a sister-in-law, help you?"
It's just that I'm not feeling well now, I can't get out of bed, and I don't know how to help you.
I can't help you curse on crutches, right? ”
Jia Cong seemed a little disappointed when he heard this, but he quickly had an idea again, and said: "To deal with those grandmothers and maids, where do you need the second sister-in-law to be there?" Isn't that too much to exalt them?
The second sister-in-law only needs to send a loyal and reliable one to manage that side.
I had to serve the sick and review my schoolwork at the same time, and I really didn't have the time to deal with that person. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Ping'er.
Wang Xifeng's mind is so clever, seeing this scene, he laughed out loud and laughed: "Yo! I said that you came so early in the morning to do something, and after talking for a long time, it turned out that you came to ask someone to come......
Good brother!
A few days ago, your second brother wanted Qingwen to come over, but it hasn't been two days, and you have the idea of Ping'er instead!
Do you know that in a few days, your second brother was going to take Ping'er for a room, and you even thought about your second brother's woman, you are really brothers......"
As soon as these words came out, Ping'er was naturally full of shame and anger, her face turned red, and she stomped her feet and said, "Grandma is really crazy!" ”
Jia Cong also brew, and said hurriedly: "Second sister-in-law, I respect Sister Ping'er as much as I respect my second sister-in-law, how dare I, how dare I......
It's true, it's true......
Cease! Cease!
Since the second sister-in-law doesn't want to help me, I'll find another way.
Why bother with this? Stained Ping'er's sister's reputation!
I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I don't dare to disturb my second sister-in-law again......"
Seeing him like this, Wang Xifeng calmed down, raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Stop!" What are you anxious about? ”
Jia Cong paused and said: "Second sister-in-law, I'm naturally not afraid of anything, no matter how ugly it is, I'm used to hearing it when I'm a child......
But it is precisely because of this that I can't let Sister Ping'er be talked about, what kind of innocent and good person is she?
In my heart, the second sister-in-law is as precious as a fairy concubine, and Sister Ping'er is the Nine Heavens Xuannu, and I ......"
As he spoke, his bright eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice, "What is it?" ”
In the end, it is a good birth, the appearance is eye-catching, and the status is indeed different from the past......
Seeing him like this, not to mention that Ping'er forgot to be ashamed, her eyes were red, and she was full of pity, and even Wang Xifeng felt guilty.
Wang Xifeng said angrily: "But behind closed doors, the family made a naughty laugh, you just said such a big basket of words, which is strange and uncomfortable, it's really stingy!"
In the future, when you become an official, there are a lot of naughty bastards said by those old men in the officialdom, do you usually go to be more serious?
At such a young age, what are those thoughts?
Besides, what do you have to be self-deprecating?
Although your biological mother is not obvious, you can grow up in the Guogong Mansion, and you are a serious princess, so who is worse?
And ......"
In the end, Wang Xifeng faintly felt that something was wrong, but he didn't understand it for a while, and continued: "You are now the prince of the Guogong Mansion, even if you are demoted to another level in the future, you will still be a third-class general......
At this point, Wang Xifeng finally came back to his senses, and his eyes instantly became strange.
This bastard boy in front of her has robbed her of the glory of luck that she should have, and now she actually wants to comfort him in turn?
Wang Xifeng was half dead in his heart, and he wanted to scold!!
It can be seen that Jia Cong is really depressed, not like a traitor, Wang Xifeng's mind turned quickly again......
She was originally going to give Ping'er to Jia Lian as a roommate, but in the past few years after entering the door, she first drove the original two girls in Jia Lian's room and sold them.
It's nothing, which new lady doesn't burn two fires and set up rules?
But in the past few years, she has come out of nothing, and she was easy to get pregnant years ago, but in the end, she still had a miscarriage and did not keep it.
Jia Lian also changed from being affectionate and tolerant when he first started to being impatient......
The elders in the family all advised her, either explicitly or implicitly, not to commit the precept of jealousy.
Even Madame Wang is like this.
Therefore, she originally planned to use Ping'er to gag her tongue.
Ping'er is her confidant, and she has an excellent temperament, and she will never make trouble all day long like Aunt Zhao.
But now, Jia Lian has done such a shameless thing, so naturally don't think about such a good thing.
I don't think anyone will force her to be generous......
Now seeing that Jia Yu has no days to live, he is dead, and the title will fall to Jia Cong.
Although there is an old lady at the moment, she can press him.
But the old lady is not shallow, who knows how many years there will be?
In a few years, even the old lady will be gone.
Jia Cong was promoted again, took the Jinshi examination and became an official, with a title and righteousness on his head, and behind him he was protected by important ministers such as Kong Laoguo and Da Sikong.
Who in the family is still his opponent?
What's more, even the old man Jia Zheng admires him so much......
Although Jia Cong has sworn that this family business will not take a penny.
However, who should take such things seriously......
She thought to herself that if she were her, she would never be able to do it.
A few oaths are nothing, and some are ways to break them.
Therefore, if you can press a hand in advance, you can form a good fate......
Don't lose your hand in preparation.
Looking at this nerd's closeness to Ping'er, I'm afraid he has other thoughts......
And Ping'er obeyed her again.
If the Jia family really falls into his hands in the future, it can also be indirectly controlled by her......
Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng Danfeng's eyes flashed, and he had already made up his mind.
She laughed coquettishly: "Come on, even if I'm a sister-in-law, I shouldn't talk nonsense in front of your child, I'll compensate you, and Ping'er won't ......"
Saying that, she made a gesture to apologize, Jia Cong and Ping'er hurriedly avoided it, and it was not easy to take anything else.
Wang Xifeng held the atmosphere and rhythm in his hands, and said to the two of them with indescribable pride in his heart: "Since Brother Cong has begged to come to the door, if my sister-in-law doesn't take care of it, it won't be okay."
Ping'er ......"
This call made Ping'er's heart skip a beat, and she panicked: "Grandma, I can't leave you!" If you are not by your grandmother's side, who will your grandmother take care of? There's still a lot to do......"
Ping'er's status in Wang Xifeng's heart is extraordinary, and when he heard this, he hesitated a little.
But now that Jia Lian has been abolished, if she doesn't prepare early, how will she get it in the future?
It is said that a husband cannot be without power for a day, she is the eldest husband in his daughter's family, and her desire for power is heavier than that of ordinary men.
In comparison, what is a girl worth......
So he laughed and said, "Silly girl, where are you going?" Not in a family yet?
It's just to go to the East Road Courtyard to help Brother Cong, and you can come back with your feet, not to mention that it will be 108,000 miles away!
I tell you that you must see me several times a day.
You have served me for so many years, and we are called master servants, but how can I ever treat you as a slave?
We are a lifelong relationship, even if you want to break it, you can't break it. ”
After that, tears rolled down his eyes.
In spite of all her calculations, if she was not helpless, how could she be willing to do so......
