Chapter 268: This Age, This Country
Returning from Rongfu, Jia Cong first entered the Dongfu Ancestral Hall.
He offered the sword of the Son of Heaven at the offering table, and prayed to the ancestors......
The Sword of Heaven is indeed a big killing weapon, but Jia Cong only needs this name to be enough.
If he really walked with the Son of Heaven Sword in his arms all day long, and the prince had to salute him first, then Emperor Chongkang probably had lunch and should consider taking the Son of Heaven Sword back......
In fact, as long as there is this righteousness and the aura of the Son of Heaven Sword, it is enough for Jia Cong to do things, and it is enough for him to deal with himself.
In addition, if the Sword of the Son of Heaven is lost or damaged outside, it will be a matter of losing the head!
Therefore, Jia Cong never thought of using it as a portable sword.
You might as well prepare a similar, fox fake tiger might......
……
When I left the ancestral hall and returned to the east wing of Ning'an Hall, it was already past the middle of the year.
In the inky night sky, a half-full moon rises high.
The lanterns under the verandah are bright and swaying with the cool evening breeze.
In the distance, you can see two little radishes sitting on the edge of the fence chattering, innocent and childlike.
Jia Cong was a little curious when he saw it, and one of them he was familiar with, it was the little girl Xiaojiao who had just entered the courtyard last year.
But the other one, I can't tell which one it is......
When he got closer, Jia Cong was discovered by Xiaojiao'er, and jumped off the fence and ran over with joy on his face.
After running halfway, he paused again, showed a big smile at Jia Cong, then turned around and ran back to pull the little girl behind, and ran to Jia Cong with a smile.
waited until before and after Jia Cong saw which little girl it was......
"Xiao Jiao'er and Xiao Jixiang say hello to the master!"
Xiao Jiao'er pulled Xiao Jixiang to kneel down and kowtow to say hello.
Jia Cong smiled: "It's strange that everyone in the family scolds you for being narrow, which door is good to kowtow?" ”
looked at Xiao Jixiang, who was a little restrained, and said, "Why are you here?" ”
Xiao Jixiang hung his head and whispered, "Our grandmother asked me to serve the third master of Huan......"
As soon as the words fell, I heard a little male duck's voice from behind:
"The third brother is back!"
Jia Cong first said softly to the two little girls: "You guys get up." ”
looked at Jia Huan, who was panting and panting, and said, "What are you running for just these few steps...... What are you doing here? ”
Jia Huan laughed and said, "Didn't you say that you wanted to study with the third brother before?" The master also promised. Yesterday, I told my mother that I would move here to study with my third brother. My mother is still serious, how does she know that the third brother is now a big official, and he doesn't need to study anymore, haha...... Yes? Xiao Jixiang, what do you think of me doing this? You dare to go back and report to God, carefully I will beat you! ”
Poor little auspicious was bluffed, and he wanted to cry when he pouted.
Jia Congqi said: "Who told you that I won't study when I become an official?" I have to get up early every day to read, and I have never stopped in Heiliao, let alone go home now? Well, since you want to come here, I'll ask Sister Ping'er to arrange the study in a while, and I'll ask you to call you to read early tomorrow morning. ”
This time, it was the turn of the dumbfounded Jia Huan to pout, and he was about to cry in despair......
Ping'er and the others came out from behind, and said with a smile: "I have asked Mama to prepare a small courtyard for Huan Sanye in front, and now there are many houses at home." I thought that Brother Lan would come if he said that he would come, so I prepared it together. ”
Jia Cong just bowed his head, but he heard Jia Huan laugh dryly again: "Third brother and sister Ping'er don't have to work in vain, if it was before, we can still come here." But my mother heard that there is going to open a door in Yongdao, and from my mother to this side, it is only a cup of tea, where is she willing to let me come? The old man also said yesterday that the third brother is very busy now, so I am not allowed to bother too much. I'm allowed to come and stay for three days, and I won't be allowed to do it for any more day......"
Originally, Jia Huan thought that if he lived comfortably here, he could walk around Huifang Garden all day long, climb trees and catch birds, and go to the lake to fish freely, so he would always rely on this side.
But after listening to Jia Cong's words, Jia Huan felt that three days was a bit too long......
Seeing that he was so stubborn, Jia Cong was not annoyed, knocked his little brain, and said, "Let's go into the house and talk." ”
After the group entered the main hall, Jia Huan became active again, very excited, and said, "Third brother, I heard that you cut off all the bad seeds in Nanxiang Hutong?" Even Jia Yu and Jia Yi were arrested? Hahaha! These nasty seeds have bullied you, scolded you, and cheated me out of money! I said, the third brother can no longer bear bears, and when he comes out, he will make them pay for their blood debts! ”
After Jia Cong sat down, he took a sip of the hot tea sent by Ping'er, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Am I doing this? Huan'er, I warn you, be honest these days. If people bite you out, you will have to go to Heiliao and go to farming. ”
Jia Huan said angrily: "What does it have to do with me? ”
Jia Cong laughed and said: "You don't know, you once took 500 yuan to the Fufa Gambling House in Suozi Hutong, and wanted to make a big deal." If it weren't for people who knew that you were the Jia family, they would have sold you to Hanako and abducted you. ”
Jia Huan was stunned when he heard this, but then he said even more angrily: "Then who am I for?" It's not to buy you some food and clothes to send to you, you were locked up behind the rockery of the East Road Courtyard at that time, so miserable, and you were beaten every day...... Okay, you Jia Cong, now that you are developed, you want to cure my sins, you have no conscience...... There is also Jia Ji's maggot obstacle in his heart, and he coulds outsiders to pit my money, woo woo, I, I'm not alive anymore......"
Ping'er Qingwen and the others listened to it in front of them, and their eyes were red, and they felt very uncomfortable, but in the end, they all turned strange and couldn't cry or laugh.
I knew that this must be learned from Aunt Zhao again......
Jia Cong was surprised and said: "I once said that I would cure your sins, but I obviously cured the sins of Jia Ji and their guys." The gambling house that cheated you at the beginning, the whole family was arrested and thrown into prison, what do you want? I'm just warning you not to think about gambling anymore, they're all liars. ”
When Jia Huan heard this, he thought about it and sobbed: "I won't gamble, guess what?" This afternoon I went to the alley of Nanji Market, and I went to buy candy, but the peddler there didn't take any money from me! They all looked at me and laughed, and some people even stuffed copper coins into my arms......"
Not to mention Jia Cong, Ping'er and the others all changed their faces when they heard this.
How can pie fall from the sky?
Jia Huan was extremely proud, shook his head and said: "I was also frightened at the time, just thinking that they were hiding traitors and wanted to kidnap me to be a beggar, who wants their things?" I threw my things at them and ran away. When I came back, I found out that the third brother, you killed so many people over there in the South Chamber, quack! How powerful those people in the South Chamber are on weekdays, like overlords, they often bully the people in the South Market. Now that the third brother has even killed them, aren't the people in Nanji Hutong more afraid of our family? In the future, you don't have to spend money to eat candy and boil! ”
Ping'er and the others listened to the horror and looked at each other, but they all knew the rules, and the girls in the inner house rarely said anything about the previous things.
Old ladies and wives are still like this, let alone these girls?
Moreover, the Jia family started with martial arts, and Jia Cong had been to the battlefield, leading people to kill some bad people, but they couldn't see it, and they only felt majestic when they heard it......
Jia Cong shook his head and said: "Don't be afraid, it's just that you still have to give silver money to buy things in the future, and if you don't have any money to spend, you will come to Sister Ping'er to ask for it." If you don't give money when you buy people's things, won't you become a scoundrel? People will scold in their hearts. ”
After Jia Huan snorted a few times, he muttered, "Then how can I have the face to ask for it?" ”
Ping'er couldn't help but laugh, took out a silver ingot from the embroidery bag and gave it to Xiao Jixiang, and said, "In the future, if you are short of silver from the third master, you will come to look for me." ”
Xiao Jixiang looked at Jia Huan timidly, and Jia Huan made a look again and again, asking her to pick it up.
Now that Jia Cong has a hair, Jia Huan is here to eat and drink spicy food......
Although Qingwen and the others couldn't get used to seeing him as "Aunt Zhao", they remembered that when Jia Cong was in trouble, everyone in the family was willing to take action, even if it was just for a stubborn companion, it was commendable.
So as long as he doesn't go too far, no one will be stingy with him.
It's just that I am disgusted in my heart......
Jia Huan still didn't know it, his eyes rolled around, and he suddenly whispered: "Third brother, I just heard my mother say that in the future, this Jia family will be considered to have changed, you are now extremely capable, even the old lady dares to see it without kneeling, and when you leave, you also say hello, my mother asked me to sneak with you more......"
"Shut up, don't dare to talk nonsense!"
Before Jia Cong could speak, Ping'er's face changed, and he didn't care about the difference between master and servant, and reprimanded loudly.
If these words get out, then what's the deal?
Jia Huan himself felt rebellious, and after being reprimanded, he hung his head and said nothing.
Jia Cong explained: "Because His Majesty gave me the Sword of the Son of Heaven, I was called out before I could worship it. Holding the sword of the Son of Heaven, it is not good to kneel down to the old lady, and she can't even say much. The tone is respectful, and there is a negative sword of the Son of Heaven. The tone is disrespectful, and there is a negative filial piety. So in the end I just bowed and came out. has nothing to do with the Jia family's changes or anything.
The Son of Heaven in the palace still wants to pay tribute to the Emperor and the Queen Mother with sincerity and filial piety, I dare not be filial, is it not a suicide?
Now that there are so many people staring at me outside, how could I be so negligent? ”
Ping'er and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, but Jia Huan was disappointed and muttered: "In this way, the Jia family still hasn't changed, and they can still smack me in the future?" It's a shame I didn't go there first, but if I did, ......."
Thinking about the consequences on that line, Jia Huan shuddered, and the pupils in his eyes dilated.
"Poof!"
Chunyan couldn't help but be amused by the three masters of this ring, she smiled, and the others also laughed.
Jia Huan wanted to take a walk around Rongqing Hall if he wanted to be a real fox and a fake tiger, and most of the corpses were cold at this time......
Jia Huan knew that Jia Cong treated the people in the house kindly, treated them as family members, and possibly as wives, and he didn't want to offend them anyway.
He had heard his mother say that the pillow wind in this world is amazing......
So let them laugh.
Only Xiao Jixiang saw that they were being teased by the third master, and some ugly people drooped down their caterpillar eyebrows, and pinched the corners of their clothes with a pair of small hands......
But after a while, seeing Jia Huan and Jia Cong and the others laughing and laughing again, Xiao Jixiang was also happy.
At home, she rarely saw Jia Huan so happy, and blamed him, the master, who always wanted to be stubborn with the people here in the third master.
Outside the hall, a bright moon rose, and the silver moonlight shone through the window on a group of laughing boys and girls in the room.
It's been a quiet time.
……
On the dragon's head, in the lonely palace.
In the innermost secret room, which was only a square inch in size, King Wu sat in a wheelchair, looking at a portrait on the wall of the secret room, his eyes were as gentle as water.
After a long time, he picked up a piece of paper from his lap and said in a low voice:
"Life is a hero, death is also a ghost."
"So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong."
After reading this, King Wu's gentle eyes gradually became bright and sharp, and then, he slowly let out a laugh.
For the first time in thirteen years, laughter.
"Heh......"
"Hehe......"
"Ha ......"
"Hahaha......"
King Wu looked up to the portrait and laughed, and the sound shook all around.
After laughing for a long time, the faintly pale face of the Martial King closed his voice, his edge was exhausted, his eyes looked at the portrait repeatedly and gently, and said softly: "Did you hear it?" It's worthy of your son, what a big ambition! What a fierce arrogance! ”
"But I don't deserve ......"
"Ahem, ahem...... Don't worry, I will eventually watch him grow up, and I won't rush to see you again, otherwise, you won't forgive me......"
"He has suffered so much, and he must be compensated......"
"This country...... Scold. ”
"Ahem, ahem......"
