Time passed quickly, and it was noon in the blink of an eye.

Yanzheng Yamen is a long way from the old house of the Zhang family in Xinghuafang, and Jia Lian will not be able to come back before dinner.

So Aunt Yue asked her to prepare meals and pick up the wind for Jia Cong.

Together with Daiyu, she led Jia Cong to the guest room to have a look.

As the world's first-class fat poor, although the salt administration yamen is limited by the grade, it does not dare to transgress in terms of specifications.

But the interior decoration is definitely far beyond the official residence of the same grade.

The guest rooms are all ready-made, with a separate set of small courtyards, adjacent to Jia Lian's courtyard.

Three suites, small and small, beautifully furnished.

All kinds of furniture and antiques are also dominated by exquisite but not gorgeous porcelain, which looks pleasing to the eye and is very comfortable like the water color of Jiangnan.

Aunt Yue always had a gentle smile on her face, and led Jia Cong to look at the three rooms, and said, "Although this room has never been inhabited, it is often cleaned and very clean." If Brother Cong doesn't dislike it, rest here. What is not satisfied, just say. ”

Jia Cong naturally had no dissatisfaction, and thanked Aunt Yue.

Aunt Yue smiled and said: "Brother Cong is our girl's cousin, not a visitor, don't talk about it......" After saying a few words, she said: "I'll go to the back kitchen to take a look, and then let someone prepare hot water, and Brother Cong will clean it up just for lunch." ”

After that, there was no need for Jia Cong to send him, so he left with the two maids.

After Aunt Yue left, Jia Cong looked at Daiyu and Zijuan who were left in the house, with a little smile on her face, and said, "Sister Lin, I have arrived at your territory, and now that you are the host, you have to entertain me." ”

Without outsiders, Daiyu seemed to be more cheerful, looked at Jia Cong and pursed her lips and smiled: "How else to entertain?" ”

Jia Cong sat on the bed, felt the soft bedding on the couch, and lay down relaxed.

Although it seemed a little rude, Daiyu and Zijuan were more happy when they saw it.

Because Jia Cong can be so free, he treats this place as his home and treats them as relatives.

Jia Cong moaned softly. groaned, and said, "I can finally lie down and rest seriously, and my bones are scattered...... Go, whoever finds a cup of ginseng tea, you have to make up for it......"

"Poof!"

Zijuan smiled: "The third master is really welcome! ”

Jia Cong didn't joke: "Didn't you? ”

Daiyu hurriedly glared at Zijuan and said hurriedly: "Yes!" He said to Zijuan, who had already gone out: "I have been preparing ginseng porridge for the master before, you go and bring a bowl, that one is more supplemental." ”

asked Jia Cong again: "Does the third brother eat?" ”

Jia Cong replied tiredly: "Eat, the more you make up, the better, the sooner the better." ”

Zijuan hurriedly trotted out of the door.

After Zijuan went out, Daiyu hesitated to say something, but saw Jia Cong suddenly sit up and bluff her.

Then I saw Jia Cong lift the front hem of his shirt and spread his legs......

Daiyu's pretty face was flushed, and she didn't know what to say.

Just about to take his eyes away, he saw Jia Cong take out a long weapon from between his legs like a trick......

He turned his hand and groped out various weapons from the side and back.

That wasn't the end of it, he rolled up his sleeve and put a small crossbow against his arm......

After a long day of work, a small armory was piled up on the bed.

As if he had finally cleaned up, Jia Cong lifted the futon at the corner of the bed, put the weapon there, and then lay down again after covering it again.

A long exhale, exhausting exhaustion......

Seeing this scene, somehow, Daiyu couldn't help but want to cry for no reason, perhaps out of pity and sympathy.

As if sensing the change in her mood, Jia Cong didn't raise his head, but said softly: "I was rude in front of Sister Lin, I'm really sorry."

I tossed on the horse for more than two months, and I was in a hurry to sleep on the horse, and now I was next to the bed, so I went back arbitrarily.

Sister Lin, you go back first, and I'll compensate my sister when I go back. ”

Lin Daiyu wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said angrily: "The third brother is so careful, where am I so stingy?" ”

Jia Cong listened to this delicate and soft voice, felt more and more relaxed, and became more and more sleepy, trying to cheer up, he chuckled and said: "Yes, Sister Lin is never stingy, she is very generous, hehe......"

Daiyu is not a fool, especially the last two "hehe", full of laughter, Daiyu's face is flushed, and she stomps her feet and says: "The third brother is not a good person!" ”

Jia Cong hummed, wanting to say something more, but he really couldn't hold on.

Waves of tiredness hit his nerves, blocking his thinking, and his eyelids slowly closed as if they were hanging a thousand pounds of boulders.

Daiyu sat on the side, waiting to reply, but heard an even snoring sound, which made her eyes widen.

She got up gently, didn't even bring the wind at the corner of her skirt, and paced forward, looking at Jia Cong, who was already sleeping on the bed.

Compared with the appearance in his memory, Jia Cong is much darker, thinner, and haggard.

Without the foil of those bright and divine eyes, Jia Cong's face was full of uncontrollable tiredness.

He was so tired......

Thinking of what he heard behind the screen in the front hall before, Daiyu also knew that Jia Cong did not come directly to Yangzhou from the capital, he seemed to have used a trick to hide from the world and cross the sea, coaxed the people of the world, and then crisscrossed the six provinces and cleaned up the door of the Jinyi pro-army.

Daiyu actually didn't know much about the concept of the six provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, but she knew that it must be far, far away.

That's why Jia Cong is tired like this......

However, he was tired like this, but he still came to see her, stood up for her, and protected her......

He's a good older brother......

Thinking of the word brother, Daiyu's eyes were red again.

But she didn't cry, because she saw that Jia Cong was not lying down.

Because he didn't take off his boots, Jia Cong was lying on the bed at the moment, with his legs still hanging outside.

It must be very uncomfortable to sleep like this......

Daiyu thought worriedly, hesitated, and she slowly moved forward.

Naturally, she has never served anyone, but thinking that Jia Cong is tired like this, and loves her so much, what is it worth for her to take care of him a little?

He said he was her own cousin, so he protected her.

Then she is also his own cousin, and she should serve him once......

Thinking of this, Daiyu squatted down on her knees, not thinking that the pair of dust-stained literary boots on Jia Cong's feet were dirty, holding them with both hands, and gently fading down......

I was worried about waking Jia Cong up, so my movements were gentle and slow.

With only one foot, it took a cup of tea to fade off.

But as soon as she took off her boots, Daiyu's tears flowed.

If it weren't for her self-control, she would have almost screamed......

It's so smoky!!

Oh, my God......

Daiyu was dazzled with tears, almost suffocating.

But she also has rigidity in her temperament, and although her hands tremble, she still insists on getting things done.

I mustered up the courage to take off my other boot as well.

This time it was miserable, both feet were taken off, the pungent breath turned into a pungent breath, and the choked Daiyu sneezed, and even retched a little......

This kind of movement naturally can't hide from Jia Cong, although he is extremely tired, but at least he still has vigilance.

After hearing a series of sneezes of "Ah Ah" and "Ah Ah", Jia Cong immediately woke up, and when he opened his eyes, his eyes were sharp and defensive.

But when he saw the curtain above his head, he realized where this was.

Looking at it again, where do you still not understand what happened?

Jia Cong is not a young man like Baoyu, and he does not regard Lin Daiyu, who is only twelve years old, as an unattainable goddess, so he has no shame at all.

Seeing Daiyu's tearful embarrassment, she actually laughed out loud.

But in the end, he still kicked his boots back on, and put away the source of pollution.

Daiyu saw Jia Cong laughing, and ruined the fruits of her labor that she sacrificed her life for, and she was heartbroken: "You are still laughing? ”

Jia Cong stopped smiling and explained: "I haven't rested in the past two months, from the middle of the capital to the south, and from the south to the north, adding up to more than 10,000 miles. Although I also found time to bathe in the roadside lakes and rivers, I only did it sloppily. Often for three or five days or even longer, I don't wash my face, let alone my feet.

Sister Tang Tulin, it's mine, isn't it. ”

Hearing him say this, Lin Daiyu, who was not angry, was embarrassed, and her two little hands were tangled, and she whispered: "I don't blame the third brother, the third brother is so hard working, let's rest again......"

After hesitating, he asked again, "Why does the third brother want to run around like this?" Why bother? ”

Jia Cong naturally couldn't sleep anymore at this time, and chuckled: "I'm not Baoyu, I'm not as indifferent to fame and fortune as him, I still have a utilitarian heart in my heart, so I'm willing to dominate the world, change to glory and wealth, and keep my family safe...... A layman. ”

Daiyu's bright eyes kept looking at Jia Cong, and when she heard Jia Cong's self-deprecating words, she shook her head lightly and said, "The third brother is not for glory and wealth, but for the safety of the family and the family." The third brother is a big hero who stands up to the sky, how can he be a layman? ”

After Daiyu finished speaking, she still looked at Jia Cong closely.

Jia Cong nodded thoughtfully, looked at Daiyu Zhengse and said, "Continue to ......"

Daiyu was stunned when she heard this, then pursed her thin lips, her beautiful face began to distort, her emaciated shoulders trembled, she endured it so hard, and finally she couldn't hold it back, and she couldn't help it......

It wasn't until he found that Jia Cong had been looking at her and smiling that he stopped laughing a little shyly, and said with a crimson face: "What does the third brother see me doing?" ”

Jia Cong sighed and said, "Sister Lin looks good when she laughs, and she looks better than when she cries." ”

Daiyu was really red this time, and even her ears and even her neck that showed a little snow turned red, and she didn't dare to look up at Jia Cong anymore, and stood there with her head down.

Jia Cong also consciously lost his words, but he really didn't have any disrespect.

Just as I was thinking about how to save one or two, I heard footsteps outside.

In the blink of an eye, I saw Zijuan coming in with a food plate, on which was placed a lotus bowl with ginseng porridge.

However, after Zijuan came in, he was startled, not because he was standing there with his head down, but because he wrinkled his nose and said in horror: "What smell?" ”

"Poof!"

Daiyu couldn't help but burst out laughing again, Jia Cong explained: "Sister Ganglin took off her shoes......"

Zijuan naturally didn't believe it, and Daiyu stomped her feet and said, "Phew! The third brother is not a good person! It's clearly your foot ......."

After Zijuan understood, she chuckled, glanced at Jia Cong's feet, and didn't dislike it, and entered with a tray.

Seeing this, Jia Cong got up to greet him, but was stopped by Daiyu.

Jia Cong looked at her inexplicably, and saw Daiyu take out the embroidered handkerchief and wipe his hands.

Jia Cong was stunned, seeing that Daiyu's crystal ears had turned red, and her hands were a little shaky, and she regretted it when she thought about it.

Instead, he smiled generously and said to Zijuan, who was biting his lower lip: "My sister, there is no pain in vain, right?" ”

Zijuan smiled and said, "The third master is now closer than before." ”

Jia Congqi said: "Did I hold my identity before? ”

Zijuan shook his head and said, "In the past, the third master was only close to the third master of Huan. ”

Jia Cong: "......"

Daiyu smiled again, and after wiping Jia Cong's hands, she smiled brightly and said, "Third brother, eat quickly." ”
