"Zihou, hurry up!"

After Jia Cong hurriedly shouted, he looked at the mellow young man at the beginning, and now he is more and more gentlemanly, and said with a smile: "Sir, is the master okay?" ”

Song Hua also looked at Jia Cong, but the tears came down first, and he said a little ashamedly: "It's all good, but if you see Uncle Xiao like this today, you will definitely feel sad." Uncle Xiao, how much has you suffered? ”

Jia Cong's gaze became more and more gentle, and he smiled: "Doesn't Zihou hear that 'the heavens will descend on the people'?" ”

Song Hua nodded solemnly and said, "Grandfather said that the little uncle is the pride of his old man. Grandmother is also very concerned about the little uncle......"

When Jia Cong heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and then sighed: "I should have gone to see Mr. and Mrs. immediately, but I went at this time, for fear of bringing criticism to Mr., and Mr.'s name should not be tarnished...... After Zihou went back, he must tell his husband, saying that Cong never missed the teachings and loving grace of his husband and his wife that day. After October 15, I went to visit my husband and wife. ”

Song Hua hurriedly said: "When I went out, my grandfather instructed me, saying that the little uncle must be busy recently, and you can't give priority to vulgarity and hypocrisy, and it is your duty to do the current thing well, and you don't need to rush over...... In addition, I brought with me the men of my grandfather and grandmother, twelve young men who could read and write, four housekeepers, four cooks, twenty-four grandmothers and daughters-in-law, twenty-four front-yard servants, and twenty-four maids, all of whom were from white families. Two years ago, when there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, many people fled the famine, and my grandfather personally inquired and selected dozens of white families to buy them for my uncle. Most of these people are family, which is convenient for discipline. ”

Jia Cong was satisfied when he heard this: "Great...... Zhan Peng, go and call the housekeeper and the twelve teenagers. ”

Zhan Peng took the order and left, and in the spare time, Wei Chen hurriedly interjected: "My lord, my subordinates have been busy all night, and they have finally finished the matter. Guan Ze, Ruan Hong, and Zhang Tai have all been given heads, and the ten hundred households have all been surrendered, and the three cavalry hundred households under Guan Ze, Ruan Hong, and Zhang Tai have also been captured, and the thousands of households in Jinling have a total of more than 1,500 people, and they are now assembled in the Yangliu camp fifteen miles outside the city. It was originally the place where the Jinyi Riding Training, and it has been almost abandoned over the years, and it can be temporarily settled. ”

Jia Cong nodded, and didn't ask Wei Chen how he did it, only praised: "Good job, hard work...... Wait for those who are outside to come in. ”

Wei Chen was stunned for a moment, his face was pale, and he heard Jia Cong say to Song Hua again: "Are Zihou and Miss Gu Jia married?" ”

Two years ago, Song Hua was married to Miss Gujia in the capital, and they originally agreed to get married last year.

Hearing Jia Cong's words, Song Hua lowered his eyes, shook his head with a smile, and said, "The marriage contract has been dissolved." ”

After being silent for a while, Jia Cong sighed, his eyes turned cold, and said, "Gu Zhenglun really has no eyes." "I was furious.

Gu Zhenglun is the father of Miss Gu's family, Taichang Temple Siqing, and a member of the New Party.

The Gu family has been hairpins for generations, and the poetry is heirloom, and it is one of the few families in Beijing.

It's a good match, but I don't want to ......

He even regretted his marriage.

This is a move to tear off his face, Jia Cong can't figure it out, although the Song family is no longer in the officialdom, but Song Yan's reputation is almost admired by the world's teachers and people in Shilin.

How dare the Gu family do this?

As far as he knew in the past, Gu Zhenglun was also a well-known gentleman.

Hearing these unwarm words, Song Hua was relieved: "It's okay, little uncle doesn't have to worry about it." It's not that the Gu family did this on purpose, it's just ......"

"Just what?"

Hearing the mystery, Jia Cong asked in a deep voice.

Song Hua hesitated, and Fang replied softly under Jia Cong's gaze: "There was a Jingshu...... went to the palace of Nan'an County to have a banquet, and was inadvertently seen by the king of Yongning County, and then the princess of Nan'an County went to the Gu family several times to say ......"

"King of Yongning?"

Jia Cong's brows furrowed, his face was gloomy, and he said: "In addition to Prince Wu in the clan back then, there was also a royal family who could fight well, and that was the King of Yongning County. It's a pity that in the last battle, the county king died on the battlefield. Now this king of Yongning County is the heir left behind? ”

Song Hua sighed and said: "Exactly, Liu Shi and his sister Yongtai County Lord have been raised in the palace since childhood, and they were only allowed to open the mansion last year. This sub...... Somewhat domineering. ”

Jia Cong asked again: "Can the Gu family make a personal appointment with the Yongning Palace?" ”

Song Hua shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it, and the marriage contract was only dissolved in August." ”

When Jia Cong heard this, he patted Song Hua on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to pay attention to this matter, and don't mention it in front of Mr. yet, I will think about it in Beijing."

Zihou doesn't have to be hateful, I just hope that all of them are innocent, but if there is a trace of stain, I will let them know how to write the word regret in the future.

Nan'an County Palace, hehe.

As for the Gu family's side, I will also let people stabilize it first. Although I can't give you a packing ticket, I will definitely try my best to make you lovers finally married. ”

Song Hua wanted to say something after thanking him shyly, but saw Zhan Peng leading more than a dozen people in.

He hurriedly put aside his personal matters and began to introduce: "Uncle Xiao, these four people are Xue Gu, Du Jiang, Zeng Qi and Chen Jiu, all of whom are innocent and loyal people. After that, he introduced Jia Cong to the four of them.

Knowing that the young man in front of him was the main master, the four middle-aged people hurriedly knelt down to salute: "The slave greets the master." ”

After Jia Cong shouted, Song Hua pointed to the row behind him and said to the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys: "These twelve people have been taught by me for two years, and according to the instructions of the little uncle, there is no need to teach the subset of scriptures and history, only three things: literacy, mathematics and loyalty." Do you want to test them? My grandfather had seen them too......"

Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "If I can't even trust Mr. and Zihou, who else can I trust in this world?" ”

Song Hua smiled, pointed to a calm young man at the head of the line and said: "His name is Xue Zheng, he has the best qualifications, calligraphy and mathematics are extremely standard, and he is the son of Xue Gu." ”

He pointed to the second young man and said, "This is called Du Hao, and he is also good, he has an active temperament, and he is Du Jiang's youngest son." ”

The young man named Du Hao raised his head and grinned at Jia Cong.

Jia Cong nodded, and then ordered: "Xue Zheng, Du Hao, you two will each choose four more people, follow Wei Chen to the Yangliu Camp, from today onwards, try the pen post style for Jinyiwei, and give you three days to re-register all the 1,500 soldiers in the Yangliu Camp and the addresses of their families, can you do it?" ”

Xue Zheng and Du Hao still didn't understand what was going on, but Song Hua laughed and reminded: "You don't kowtow quickly and thank you, it's good to fall on the head of an official ......."

Before the young man could react, Xue Gu and Du Jiang knelt on the ground together, kowtowing like pounding garlic to thank Jia Cong for his great kindness.

The sons of the two, Xue Zheng and Du Hao, also came back to their senses and led a group of teenagers to kneel on the ground to thank them.

Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "Don't be happy too early, do things well, try the two words and go, and then return your body selling documents, be a clean white man, and then you can do this pen post style from the nine products." As long as you do well, you will naturally continue to rise in the future. ”

Xue Gu reacted the most violently, his face was full of tears, his body was trembling, and he choked up: "The grace of the adult's recreation, the slave does not dare to forget the slightest bit. From today on, the Xue family will be loyal to adults for generations, but half of it will be disappointed, men are slaves, women are prostitutes, and they can't die well! After that, he began to kowtow again.

The same is true for Doolin.

For they were a good people, because of natural calamities; Woe to become a slave and a lowly status.

became a lowly member, and since then he has cut off his innocence and become a slave like a pig and a dog.

If they are the only ones who can pay it back, even their descendants will be lowly for the rest of their lives.

It's like falling into the hell of Abi, sinking forever.

They themselves are not afraid of death or perdition, but they do not want their children to be the same.

It's good to have a blood vein to come out!

Originally, my heart should have been like ashes, and I would have been able to live with my wife and children.

But they don't want to receive this great favor for the first time today, how can they not be excited?

Everyone else looked at them with envy......

After Jia Cong shouted, he said softly: "Don't envy them, as long as you also work hard, the heirs will have a chance to stand out in the future." Although you have signed a death contract, I can give you a promise, as long as you are faithful to your work, after ten years, whether you go or stay depends on your own heart.

Okay, that's it, Xue Gu, Du Lin, from today onwards, one of you will be the chief steward, and the other will be the second steward. Since the gentleman values you, I believe in you.

Arrange for men first, and put up the back house.

In addition, let's see which one is suitable, Zeng Qi or Chen Jiu, and arrange it in the treasury and the silver warehouse.

There were also two literate ones, who were taken to do a good count.

You've all done all of this, right? ”

Xue Gu and Du Lin's faces were still full of tears, but when they heard about the serious matter, they immediately straightened up, bowed down and said: "Don't worry, master, these things have been learned in the Song Mansion with Old Butler Lin." ”

Jia Cong nodded and said, "Then go for it, I don't want to spend the night in the study tonight." ”

Xue Gu and Du Lin became more and more solemn when they heard this, and hurriedly led people to work.

After they left, Jia Cong said to Guo Yun: "You and Wei Chen, take Xue Zheng, Du Hao and ten of them, together with the more than 200 people in the number room, to go to Yangliu Camp outside the city and re-register all the teams. For each person, five taels of silver will be issued. The silver is taken from the treasury......

Then let people buy enough grain, rice, wine, and meat, and the husband will cook and eat freely.

Early tomorrow morning, I will bring back all the officers above the general flag, and I will give a lecture. ”

Guo Yun didn't say much, although Wei Chen still wanted to say something more, it could be seen that Guo Yun strode out, and he could only helplessly follow.

After they left, Jia Cong said to Han Tao and Yao Yuan: "Send people to contact thousands of households in the five provinces, no matter where they are now, I want them to appear at the Changyuan Wharf outside Jinling City at the beginning of October 15, not allowed one moment earlier, and one moment later to ask for guilt." ”

After the two received the order, they heard Jia Cong say again: "Let people contact Lou Chuan again, let them speed up, and it is best to arrive in Jinling on October 15." ”

Han Tao and Yao Yuan took the order and left.

Before the two of them went out, they saw the new housekeeper Xue Gu hurriedly come in and said to Jia Cong: "Master, someone from outside asks to see him, and he is from the old house on Rongning Street, called Jin Cai." It was also said that a man who called a mandarin duck girl next to the old lady in the capital came to ask the old man when he would return to the old mansion......"
