Late at night, Jiajia East Road Courtyard.

Jia Cong was delayed in Mrs. Xing's room for more than half an hour, describing the withered Mrs. Xing, and she didn't know how long she was left, which looked a little terrifying.

Having lost the tension in her lungs, she breathed like a bellows.

Every breath was extremely painful and difficult, and even falling asleep was tortured and exhausted before he could fall asleep.

Now she doesn't see the majesty and domineering when she abused and insulted Jia Cong......

Jia Cong didn't say anything, but simply explained that he was going south to run an errand.

He also said that he would send Mrs. Xing's brother's family to Beijing as soon as possible to reunite with Mrs. Xing.

After the practice of "filial piety", there is a long silence.

This is the most etiquette and filial piety in this world......

……

After coming out of the room that seemed to be more dreary and depressing than the night, Jia Cong looked up at the sparse starry sky above his head, and the night was approaching.

The mood is a little complicated.

In later generations, although Mrs. Xing's illness was also tricky, it was not incurable.

Of course, he is just thinking about the inertia of medical ethics in his previous life.

If Mrs. Xing is really cured, she is afraid that the first one will come to deal with him again, huh......

"Third brother!"

Carrying a lantern, before Jia Cong left the second gate of the East Road Courtyard, he heard a female voice from the corner of the oncoming rockery.

Jia Cong raised his eyes and saw that it was Wang Xifeng who came with the maid Feng'er.

Looking at the night again, he frowned slightly and said, "It's all here, why is the second sister-in-law still going this way?" ”

After Wang Xifeng got closer, a burst of fragrance filled her nose, she smiled brightly, and said: "I always have to come over to see my wife every few days, and I happen to be ...... today" but said: "But today is indeed much late...... Feng'er, take a look inside and see if the eldest lady is resting? But if he rests, he will not go in today. ”

After Feng'er answered, she carried the lantern and went inside.

Jia Cong saw that Wang Xifeng's lanterns were far away, and he couldn't leave just yet, and then saw that Sister Feng'er couldn't hide her tiredness on her face, so she pointed to the stone table and stone bench next to the Yongshi path and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief to wipe the stone bench.

Wang Xifeng was stunned when he saw it, and then hurriedly took the first step, brushed it a few times on the two stone benches with an embroidered handkerchief, straightened his waist and said with a smile: "How can a gentleman do such a service work?" ”

Jia Cong smiled and said indifferently: "You are the eldest sister-in-law, what if I serve, sit down...... Second sister-in-law, you get up early and go to bed late all day, and you get tired, it's not a long way. ”

When Wang Xifeng heard this, the gaze in Danfeng's eyes became softer and softer, and he sighed and shook his head and smiled: "There are not a few old people left in the family, and the housekeepers and daughters-in-law are also ...... I don't have two or three years of hard work, and I can't adjust it like before, but it is also good, although Lao Chen is capable, he has a big qualification, and he doesn't pick the master, chewing his tongue behind his back. In the first two years I came to Jia's house, I was really trembling, and I was afraid that I would be talked about......"

Jia Cong chuckled, "Can't you, right? I see that they are all afraid of the second sister-in-law. Du Yan's second sister-in-law is spicy and capable. ”

Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes angrily and said, "I'm not spicy, which one can I control?" At that time, Ping'er helped me and shared most of the trivial tasks for me, like this, a little trivial matter, someone used it to annoy me, and I couldn't sleep for three hours a day......"

At this moment, Wang Xifeng did not see the teeth and claws on weekdays.

Sitting with his legs together, holding the embroidered handkerchief with both hands and placing it on his lap, it seems to have returned to the age of a lady in the boudoir.

The lanterns emitted a hazy candlelight, and the moonlit night in autumn was a little cold.

Jia Cong thought for a while and said slowly: "Managing a family is not much different from managing a country." The most important thing for a wise superior is to know how to use people. It is better to delegate power than to collect power, and in this regard, Sima Yi is stronger than Zhuge Liang. ”

Speaking, Jia Cong told the story of how Zhuge Liang died of overwork in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which led to the failure of the Northern Expedition and the destruction of Shu Han.

Wang Xifeng watched quietly and listened.

At the end, he smiled with shining eyes: "I have also seen this in the play, but it is not as good as the third brother said in the play!" ”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "I believe that the second sister-in-law understands the truth, but she can't compete for a strong heart...... is still the same sentence, the second sister and the third sister are all older and can share it, especially the third sister. ”

After Wang Xifeng nodded in response, he looked at Jia Cong and said with a smile: "I heard Ping'er say, the sister-in-law in the east begged you?" For a character like the third brother, you can pay more attention. ”

Jia Cong heard her tone a little weird, and then saw that the smile on her face flickered a little, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng hurriedly explained: "Third brother, don't be careful, I don't mean it, it's just ...... It is...... is just a lot of words, and told the third brother that the woman is not a good one, she ...... She ......"

Wang Xifeng has probably never been so flustered, but there are some ugly words, she really can't say them in front of Jia Cong.

In her heart, Jia Cong was like an immortal.

How can the vulgar swear words of the world be said in front of him?

She seems to have completely forgotten that only a few years ago, in front of the ear room on the rockery, there were two grandmothers who cursed all day long......

Seeing that she was so careful, Jia Cong's face softened slightly, and he said softly: "I understand what the second sister-in-law wants to say." Sister-in-law You's side is acting ...... I can't say much. It's just that she has come to this point, and she will not sin to death in the end. I have heard that only the victor can be generous. To forgive others is to forgive oneself.

I don't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, do you understand, second sister-in-law? ”

When Wang Xifeng heard this, he looked at Jia Cong in a daze......

……

Dongfu, East Chamber.

When Jia Cong returned from the East Road Courtyard, his time was about to end.

Ping'er and the others are still busy, although the big cages have been sent to the ship outside the city in advance, but there are still some close-fitting packages, and the beaded hairpin clothes used tomorrow morning must be prepared.

For more than ten years, the maids who have been confined to the house and rarely go out of the city seem to be excited and can't sleep......

"The third master is back!"

Xiao Jiao'er saw Jia Cong enter the door from a distance, and jumped up to meet him.

Even if Qingwen is scolded by Qingwen who is holding a copper basin in the back, she will wag her tail and not be annoyed.

After Xiaojiao'er took Jia Cong's lantern, she kept talking, and she didn't need Jia Cong to answer, she asked and answered herself, and she was very happy.

The people inside greeted her and saw her clinging to Jia Cong, and they were helpless.

But no one taught her a lesson, and she knew that although Xiaojiaoer was clingy, she actually understood the rules.

Moreover, Jia Cong also likes this little girl.

After everyone entered the house, Jia Cong asked how many little girls had said goodbye to their parents at home?

Mi'er, Juan'er and others are all born to the Jia family, and the capital has already said it properly.

Unlike ordinary children who are pampered at home, girls like them who work in the house early to earn money to supplement the family, have limited opportunities to get together with their parents and parents.

The pain of parting is not so difficult.

After sending the four little girls down to rest, Jia Cong's face became grim.

even took the rare initiative to close the doors and windows, and let Ping'er, Qingwen, Xiangling, Chunyan, and Xiaohong go to the bedroom together......

Seeing that his face was serious, Ping'er and the others didn't dare to disobey, but they were all up and down in their hearts.

What is this going to do?

Chunyan's round face even showed a touch of shyness: There are too many people, why don't you come together?

But when Jia Cong cleaned up and looked at the five people sitting on the edge of the bed with a serious face, even Xiangling knew that he was not here to do bad things......

Jia Cong looked at the five people with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "If there is anyone in this world who can make me trust, it is you." Now, I need your help. ”

Startled by his solemn and even heavy words, Ping'er hurriedly got up and hurriedly asked, "Cong'er, but what happened?" ”

Qingwen was even more heroic, gritted her teeth and said: "If there is anything to do, the third master just orders, let's do it too!" ”

Xiaohong, Chunyan, and Xiangling didn't say much, but they all stood up with firm expressions.

The word trust is as heavy as Mount Tai!

They are unwilling to live up to Jia Cong's trust, even at the cost of their lives.

In this day and age, sometimes women are more fierce than men!

Jia Cong's heart was warm, but his face was even more solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "That's the case, tomorrow, you are so ......"

The candles on the table burned quietly, and from time to time a candle flower exploded.

After listening to Jia Cong's words, Ping'er and the others were first surprised, then shocked, and in the end, they regained their resolute firmness!

The night gets darker.

……

In the thirteenth year of Chongkang, July 12.

Sunny, it is suitable to travel, break ground, open the door, and put on the beam.

The sky is not clear, and at three o'clock, Jia Zheng led Jia Cong, Baoyu, Jia Huan and other men of the Jia family to enter the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.

At two o'clock, everyone returned to Rongqing Hall.

Mother Jia, Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang, Li Kun, Wang Xifeng and many sisters are bidding farewell to Baochai.

Xue Pan is a foreign man, and he can only lie down, so he was sent into the carriage to lie down first.

When Jia Cong and the others came back, Aunt Xue's mother and daughter, Xue Baochai, were crying.

Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others persuaded on the side, but the effect was not very good......

Seeing Jia Cong striding in a flying fish python suit, there was a sudden silence in Rongqing Hall.

Even Aunt Xue and Baochai's tears seemed to pause......

Last night, after Jia Cong said some murderous words at the banquet, he took the lead and left.

The shock caused by this incident in the Jia family was by no means weaker than today's Xue family brothers and sisters leaving Beijing, or even stronger.

So after beating Jia Cong inside, including Jia Mu, all eyes fell on him.

Jia Cong was unconscious, and still saluted in turn according to the rules of etiquette.

Seeing him like this, Jia Mu didn't know how to feel in her heart, and after being silent for a while, she shouted, "Get up." ”

After Jia Cong got up, Jia Mu asked again, "Have you worshiped your ancestors?" ”

Jia Cong replied, "Yes." ”

Jia Mu looked at him again and asked, "You said yesterday that you are afraid that you will go out for more than one or two years this time, do you have anything else to explain?" Now you've taken the ......."

Jia Cong thought for a while and said: "There are old ladies, masters, and wives on the side, and Cong only hopes that the family will grow up and be healthy, and everything will go well, and there is nothing else to ask for." ”

Jia Mu nodded and said, "What about the Dongfu side?" ”

Jia Cong replied: "Leave three teams of personal soldiers to guard the house, and after I leave, all the front doors will be closed, leaving only one back door for slaves to buy vegetables and enter and exit." On the other hand, the small door opened at the corridor here is open, except for the old lady, Mrs. and sisters here who go to Huifangyuan to have fun, before I return, Dongfu will no longer welcome guests...... I have explained all these to the soldiers left behind, and it will not be hindered. ”

This means that the family business of Qianning Guofu was taken care of by Jia Cong and died.

Except for himself, the others of the Jia clan could not even enter at will.

However, it should be this way.

After being silent for a while, Jia Mu said lightly: "Since you are ready, then so be it." ”

After Jia Zheng said a few more words, he glanced at the faintly white sky outside the house, and said, "It's almost time, let's get on the road early." ”

After Jia Cong got down, he knelt down again and bowed goodbye.

……

At three o'clock, four eight-treasure hairpins and carriages traveled from the east and west of Jia's house at the same time.

More than 100 light horsemen draped in their bodies came out from Dongfu, protecting the carriage and suddenly becoming angry.

Jia Cong did not ride a horse, but should be in the carriage at the head.

The procession walked out of Jinguang Gate to Weishui Wharf.

Still not stopping, the four carriages boarded a tall three-story ship.

More than 100 cavalrymen went on guard in turn.

At two o'clock, the building ship pulled anchor and set sail!

Eight rivers of soup and soup surround Chang'an, and seven rivers flow into the Wei River, which flows into the Yellow River.

To the section of the Yellow River, then borrow the canal to enter the Huai, and connect the Yangtze River down.

This ship, since it started, has attracted the attention of countless people.

or expectant, or cold, or maliciously......

Until the south bank of the river.

PS: There's a hole in here, can you guess?
