Chapter 254: Door-to-door plea
After Lin Cheng and Wang Cheng left, Jia Cong cleaned up his mood and went to the east wing of the inner house.
Today, the cards in his hand are different, and there is no need to borrow money to deal with such things.
Although the Jinyi pro-army has shown weakness for more than ten years, it is because the snake has no head, and it will be a nest of bears.
Luo Cheng, the commander of the previous Jinyi pro-army, was from an ordinary background, and he couldn't resist the prestige of Zhenyuan's noble lineage.
In addition, in the first few years when King Wu was imprisoned, although he was trapped in Longshouyuan, no one in the world dared to ignore him.
King Wu personally ordered the slaughter of flying fish, even in the first five years of Emperor Chongkang's accession to the throne, there were still brocade-clothed soldiers dressed in flying fish from time to time who were killed by Zhen Yuan Xungui in the road encounter.
In such a situation, Chongkang Emperor could not even make decisions for it.
The Jinyi pro-army has lost the dignity and significance of the pro-army of the Son of Heaven......
But now things have changed, and it's different.
Emperor Chongkang's authority is gradually rising, and now there is no such thing as killing Jinyi's pro-army.
Of course, it is also related to the fact that the Jinyi pro-army no longer wears flying fish suits, and they all walk around Zhen Yuanxun.
But Jia Cong believes that even if the Jinyi pro-army encounters Zhen Yuanxun again, no one will dare to kill him again.
And he is not Luo Cheng.
With the deck of cards in his hand now, if he can't even deal with a gentleman and a six-rank official, Emperor Chongkang will probably directly consider replacing him......
Leaving the trivial matters behind, Jia Cong went to Mrs. Xing's wing.
……
"When I went in, Mrs. Tongbing, I said that my unfilial son Jia Cong came back and wanted to greet her."
Under the verandah of the east wing, Jia Cong said to the maid standing at the door.
After the maid Wanfu entered the house to make a statement, she came out in a few moments, her face was slightly strange, and she said, "The eldest lady invites the third master to come in." ”
Jia Cong's eyebrows raised lightly when he heard this, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He thought that it would be the same as in the past, Mrs. Xing didn't want to see him, so she only asked him to kowtow at the door, but unexpectedly, he didn't expect it......
But he wasn't afraid of anything, and after bowing his head with the maid, he pushed the door in.
As soon as he entered, he was still outside, and Jia Cong could faintly smell a rancid smell.
There were two mothers-in-law sitting outside, and when they saw Jia Cong coming in, they were busy smiling and saying goodbye.
After Jia Cong bowed his head, he asked two questions about Mrs. Xing's situation.
The two mothers-in-law picked up a basket of good words, what do you miss the third master, and hope that the third master will return to Yunyun, Jia Cong can only laugh naughtily.
It wasn't until there was a hollow coughing sound inside that the two mothers-in-law stopped their unfinished flattery.
They all dreamed that Mrs. Xing would show favor to Jia Cong, so that they could also give them some benefits.
Otherwise, if you stay here, no one is a ghost or a ghost, and there is really no hope.
Jia Cong naturally understood their thoughts, and said with a smile: "You grandmothers have worked hard to serve the eldest lady, Cong has nothing to repay, tomorrow will be rewarded, each tattooed with twenty taels of silver, I just hope that all the grandmothers can serve the eldest lady wholeheartedly again, and on the day the eldest lady recovers, Cong will not hesitate to give away a hundred taels of gold and silver." ”
The two grandmothers were pleasantly surprised when they heard this, and knelt down to give Jia Cong a big salute.
But when there was a coughing sound of breathlessness inside, Jia Cong entered.
……
Compared to the outside, the air inside can no longer be described as dirty.
It's as pungent and spicy as a rotten onion.
Because the windows were covered by thick curtains, only a dim candle was lit in the distance.
The room was dim and gloomy, and the sound of Mrs. Xing's asthmatic breathing was echoing.
The two little girls waiting inside were pale and haggard, and they were pitiful......
After Jia Cong glanced at the two of them, he fell to the ground and said to Mrs. Xing, who was looking at him with her eyes open on the bed, "Jia Cong respectfully asks Mrs. to be healthy." ”
Mrs. Xing's face was sallow, her eyes were bloodshot, and she was as thin as firewood, which was very terrifying.
She pillowed on the brocade pillow, looked at Jia Cong sideways, and saw that he was wearing a flying fish suit, and his already struggling breathing became heavier and heavier.
Like a bellows, it makes an empty sound of "roar" and "roar".
After a while, I heard Mrs. Xing ask with great difficulty, "...... you Inherited? ”
Jia Cong said respectfully: "Back to Mrs., Cong has been blessed by the Holy Grace and has been given the position of second-class uncle, and I have come to congratulate my wife." ”
There was no trace of joy on Mrs. Xing's face, she stared at Jia Cong with a terrifying gaze, as if she was about to scare him to death with her eyes......
Even if it is Jia Lian Chengjue, a third-class general, it is better than this concubine Chengjue.
Mrs. Xing knew how she abused Jia Cong at the beginning, and she didn't believe that Jia Cong would have pure filial piety in her heart, and her parents, who thought that there was nothing in the world, would honor her.
She is not uncommon for anyone to honor her, she is now worse than death, she is tortured, but she does not dare to die, she does not want to die......
This contradictory mentality made her jealous of everything in the world, jealous of everything in Jiafu, from the unjust Jia's mother, to the second room where the dove occupied the magpie's nest, and then to the unfilial son Jia Lian and daughter-in-law Wang Xifeng, who thundered and thundered, and finally the evil obstacle in front of her.
She longed for everyone to die with her, so that she would be willing to die.
Otherwise, heaven and earth are unfair!
It's just that she can't even speak now, what can she do?
But she was unwilling to let the business that originally belonged to Jia Yu and her be occupied by a traitor.
She has to think of a way to take it back, at least part of the profit, before she can be willing.
And if she wants to do this, she can't do it alone.
Mrs. Xing understands her body, although she is reluctant to close her eyes, no matter how hard she holds on, she will not be able to hold on for a few years.
Now that she can only bathe and change clothes on the bed, let the maid handle it, and it is still difficult to speak, what can she do?
Therefore, she must find someone reliable to help her.
If Wang Shanbao's family hadn't been sent to Heiliao Zhuangzi, she would have been a good hand, but unfortunately, I don't know if she is dead or alive now......
In addition to Wang Shanbao's family, which one else can she find?
Madame Xing slowly fell into deep thought, and there was a dead silence in the wing, like a grave.
Jia Cong was not in a hurry, he had enough patience to wait for Mrs. Xing to let him go.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Mrs. Xing's throat to "snore" suddenly and quickly, Jia Cong came back to her senses from her thoughts, looked up, and saw that Mrs. Xing's original eyes were hot, she stared at Jia Cong, although it was difficult, she insisted on asking, "Do you still have a little filial piety?" ”
Jia Cong said softly: "As a son of man, Cong doesn't dare to be unfilial. ”
This is, of course, a scene......
When Mrs. Xing heard this, she showed a rare smile, but it was lined with a thin and sallow face, which became more terrifying, and she said in a dry voice: "There is filial piety...... That's it, I'...... I've had no children or daughters all my life, and now I'm restless and want to ...... I want to see my loved ones. ”
When Jia Cong heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he said, "I don't know which relatives my wife wants to see?" Is it the second sister-in-law? ”
When Mrs. Xing heard this, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, and a violent cough sounded in her mouth, and she said hatefully: "What kind of family is she?" You guys...... You don't count! After taking a few big breaths, he said, "Southern Province, I still have ...... I still have my brother here. You make people ...... Let people come. ”
Mrs. Xing's younger brother is Jia Cong's uncle.
In this eldest year of Uncle Earth, it is obviously not a cheap good thing to invite such a person back.
Jia Cong didn't care much, nodded and said, "I don't know what the name of my wife and brother is, and where does my family live?" ”
Seeing that Jia Cong did not call her uncle, Mrs. Xing snorted in annoyance and said, "His name is Xing Zhong, and his name is Guoquan." Living near Panxiang Temple on Xuanshan Mountain in Suzhou, you can find it yourself. ”
Jia Cong kept it in his heart, and said with his head bowed: "Don't worry, Mrs., you can be invited in March at most." There is another thing I want to ask my wife...... Because Cong has a small merit on the battlefield, His Majesty Longen, in addition to giving Cong a second-class uncle, will also give the East Mansion a gift. Now that Cong is moving to Dongfu, I don't know if my wife is willing to ......"
Before he could say anything, he heard Mrs. Xing's rapid cough, as if she was about to cough out her lungs.
Jia Cong looked at Mrs. Xing, whose face was as red as a ghost, with some innocent eyes: "Madam, what's wrong with you?" ”
……
After returning to Mozhu Courtyard from the East Road Courtyard, I saw that three or four carriages had been parked in front of the Mozhu Courtyard.
The young man of Cai Zongjiao pulled the mules and horses, and a healthy woman moved the cages one by one from the courtyard to the carriage.
When the carriage is full, head outside......
After Jia Cong entered the door, he saw that the small courtyard was also full of cages, in addition, the four little girls Mi'er and Juan'er, who were also carrying a small burden, were being teased by Qingwen and others.
The courtyard was full of joy.
When everyone saw Jia Cong coming back, they hurriedly stepped forward and looked around Jia Cong, as if they couldn't get enough of it.
Ping'er said with a smile: "Aunt Feng, Sister-in-law Liu and Er. The eight grandmothers sent by the grandmother went to the East Mansion first and cleaned up the East Chamber first. Those eight grandmothers were originally old men in Dongfu, who had been selling strength there for several lifetimes, and now it is cheaper to go back. Two. Grandma said that the third master should be used temporarily, and if there is something inappropriate, he will send it back. The other maids asked the third master if he was transferred from here, or did he go out to buy it? The maids of the original East Mansion, along with some of the aunts in the previous mansion, were dismissed. ”
Jia Congxin said in his heart It seems that the unclean things in the East Mansion are also known here, otherwise the girl and aunt will not be sent away, he nodded and said: "This is excellent, and then ask someone to take care of the kitchen, it will be almost the same for the time being." The eldest lady didn't go over, and the eldest sister-in-law You and the Qin family had their own maids and mothers-in-law to serve. Where we live, we invite fewer outsiders, cheaper, and less right and wrong. ”
Ping'er and the others laughed when they heard this, and nodded again and again.
Qingwen said happily: "It's this reason, what are we doing at home all day long?" They all have hands and feet, just like that, and do their own things! ”
Chunyan pouted and said, "Then don't let me pour your toilet......"
Everyone: "......"
All the red-faced girls glared at Chunyan, and Qingwen was even more red-faced and directly asked, "Little wave hoof, are you crazy?" ”
Chunyan came to her senses, and saw Jia Cong looking at her with a smile, her whole person was like a lightning strike, and she directly wanted to find a gap to get into, and she wanted to die without Qingwen pinching her......
But I heard Jia Cong laugh and said: "The rough mother-in-law always has to find a few, if you know which grandmother is honest, you can also invite it." He said to Qingwen again: "You can let your aunt and brother who is in charge of the kitchen go to the front kitchen to help, more than 100 personal soldiers, and it is not enough to find four or five cooks, and the monthly money is enough." ”
When Qingwen heard this, her heart warmed, and she responded softly.
Ping'er smiled: "By the way, Sister-in-law Liu has a daughter named Wu'er, and she entrusted me a few times, wanting her daughter to come into the house to do things." It should have been done a long time ago, but there were so many people from Dongfu here, and there was no place for a while, so I never came in. Now it's okay, but please come too. ”
Jia Cong said with a smile: "It's good for Sister Lao Ping'er to keep her eyes on these things, as long as you are not a person of right and wrong, you can come in." ”
As he was talking, he heard a message from his mother-in-law outside: "Third master, the old lady and the old man invite you to Rongqing Hall, and the lady and master Qiu from the prospect Tianhou Mansion are here, saying that they want to ask the third master for ......."
