In the twelfth year of Chongkang, August 20.

Early in the morning, Jia Cong went to Nanji Hutong and Ni's house.

Ni Er has been married, and the lady has a small family of Jasper, although she is illiterate, but she is extremely filial.

After knowing Jia Cong and the Ni family, he treated him like a sister-in-law.

After some warm hospitality, Aunt Ni invited Jia Cong to the kang and it was hot.

The old man was old, and in the autumn, Ni and his wife lit a kang for her.

Now the Ni family is far more than Ni Er when he put the money in the gambling house, and he doesn't feel sorry for the charcoal money.

After sitting on the warm hot kang, Aunt Ni took Jia Cong's hand, no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't see enough, and said lovingly: "How can Brother Cong'er have the kung fu to come today?" I heard that something happened to you in Dongfu, does it matter? ”

Aunt Ni knows that the relationship between Jia Cong and the Jia family is not close in Rongguo Mansion, let alone Ning Guo?

Therefore, there is no mourning.

Jia Cong shook his head and smiled: "It doesn't matter. I have come today to say hello. I'm worried that Second Brother Ni won't listen to me, so I'll let my aunt talk about it. ”

Aunt Ni sank her face when she heard this, and looked at Ni Er in disbelief, but before she could open her mouth to scold, Ni Er called Tianqu and said, "It's really wronged!" How dare I disobey my son? ”

Jia Cong smiled: "That's what I haven't said yet." ”

Ni Er patted his chest and said, "No matter what, the second child will listen to the son!" ”

Jia Cong smiled on his face and said, "Then I will ask you to hand over all the things in your hands, and take your mother and sister-in-law to live in another place, and you will listen to me?" ”

Ni Er froze when he heard this, and looked at Jia Cong in a daze.

Aunt Ni was concerned: "Brother Cong, what happened?" If you have something, you must say something, the second child has nothing else, but he has a lot of strength, which can lead you to a horse and run errands. He is the most faithful man, and if he dares to be unfaithful to you, I will not recognize him as a son. ”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Don't worry, auntie, it's not a side matter." Because of the incident in my family's Dongfu, in order not to affect the clan, I had to go to the Nine Border Army to survive. In the past two years, we have done something out of nothing, but we have also offended many people. I was fine when I was in the capital, but once I went to Jiubian, others would know the relationship between Second Brother Ni and me, and they would definitely attack him. When the time comes, I will not be in Beijing, and the officials will have two mouths, and they will convict the second brother as much as they want. I can't say that it can affect the eldest mother, so we have to take precautions and prepare first. ”

Hearing what he said, everyone's faces changed, and Aunt Ni bluffed: "It's so dangerous? ”

Jia Cong nodded and said, "At the beginning, we let other people's families die, if they get the opportunity, they will never let us go, and they can't leave it to chance." ”

Aunt Ni nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, this kind of thing is not a fluke." ”

Ni Er scratched his head with his big hand and said, "Now we have two or three hundred pickers under our hands, selling vegetables in the east and west cities, if we let go, what should those guys do?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Break the whole into pieces and let them live separately for the time being." When I come back from the Nine Sides, I'll reconvene. In this way, you can also see how much sediment has been mixed with ......."

When Ni Er heard this, he saw that Jia Cong had even thought of this, although he was a little discouraged, he still nodded and said, "Childe has the idea, I listen to Childe." ”

He has never controlled such a big business, and now that he has been stripped away, it is inevitable that he will not be able to bear it.

Jia Cong smiled: "Take a good rest for a while, and when I come back, I will have a bigger career to do." ”

Aunt Ni also persuaded: "If there is no Brother Cong, you are still messing in the mud now, can you have today?" Now Brother Cong is also for the good of you and me, you have to know how to repay the kindness ......"

Ni Er patted his thigh and smiled bitterly: "What does the old lady think of me, do you still complain about the son?" It's just that I was unwilling, and I lost my son's career like this, right......"

Ni Er asked again: "Childe, what should I do with Brother Cheng'er, do you want to hide together?" ”

Jia Cong thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Shihantang is now giving a certain amount of silver to Mr. Mu Min every year to support his old man's education, which is a great achievement. There are now Mr. Mumin's ink treasures and Imperial Doctor's ink treasures on the Shihan Hall, and I don't think those people will dare to mess around. ”

The peddlers who walk through the streets and alleys under Ni are the eyes and ears, and the more than 100 storytellers under the Shihan Hall are the tongues.

Ears and eyes are easy to find, tongues are rare, until the last resort, Jia Cong is reluctant to leave those storytellers, not only will not lose them, but also continue to expand......

Aunt Ni looked at Jia Cong with pity, and said: "At my age, my brother is going to go to a bitter cold place on the nine sides, so it is better to let the second brother be a long-term follower for my brother, and I will always rest assured that I will have my own people to take care of him." ”

Jia Cong smiled: "I haven't been going for an unknown few years, my eldest mother is old, my sister-in-law has a body again, and the second child can't leave home." There is no shortage of people around me, and my aunt can rest assured. By the way, does the eldest mother's family have a place to go? If not, why don't you stay in the mansion of the advanced country for a while? ”

Aunt Ni hurriedly smiled: "It's not necessary, let's go to a relative's house in the countryside outside the city for a while." ”

Aunt Ni has lived in the market all her life, and although she is illiterate, she has lived out the wisdom of birth.

Jia Cong is not here, if they go to the Guogong Mansion, I am afraid that they will not even be as good as third-class slaves.

After a few more gossips, it was decided that within three days after Jia Cong's expedition, after the Ni family went out of the city to avoid trouble, Jia Cong came out of Ni Er's house and went to the small courtyard behind Gulou Street in Tongyifang.

Now Qiu San is in charge of the entire soap-making process, although it is said that this set of methods is in Ye Qing's hands, and the workshop is also in Zhuangzi outside Ye Qingcheng, but the core matters have always been in Qiu San's hands, and even the sales and publicity methods are all handled by him, and he is a rare business talent.

However, on the tenth day of every month, he would come to this small courtyard and wait for Jia Cong's dispatch.

This time, Jia Cong didn't have many instructions, only told him not to come to this small courtyard before he returned, and took five wooden boxes and a few fist-sized porcelain vases from Qiu San's hands.

The wooden box contains a silver syringe crafted by craftsmen, as well as a number of sterilized gauze.

In the porcelain bottle, there is refined alcohol.

To the nine sides, regardless of whether it is the northeast, due north or northwest, if there is no cold or flu, it is against the sky.

Preparing some necessities in advance is the meaning of preserving.

In addition, there is also the income of Qinxiangyuan this month, four thousand taels of silver.

Even the income of the previous few months is combined, excluding expenses, Jia Cong has 10,000 taels of silver in his hand.

This amount of money is not too much at the moment, but it is by no means a small amount.

The most important reason why he didn't open the bank before was that his position was too embarrassing.

But when I come back this time, it's very different.

Because at that time, Jia Yu must have died, and he will inherit the title......

And this time in the army, it is naturally impossible for him to strategize and win the battle.

Mo said that he is only the son of a first-class general now, even if he is the son of a national prince, he has no chance to lead the troops to fight for the first time in the army.

How can militaristic affairs be child's play?

Even if someone really asked him to lead his troops to the front line to fight, he would definitely think of avoiding it.

Because that's not trying to give credit to him, that's trying to send death to him.

But he can't really use time to boil up his qualifications, so the capital in his hands is his bargaining chip to win wealth.

As for how to use it, he doesn't have a clue yet, and this kind of thing is originally due to change.

In short, Jia Cong believes that this trip will be worthwhile!

……

When he came back from outside, as soon as Jia Congfu entered the Rongguo Mansion, he felt that the servants on the road were looking at him wrongly.

Not with awe and alienation, but with pity, sympathy, and a hint of excitement......

It can be seen that Jia Cong's reputation among the people of Jiafu is probably not very good.

After casually glancing at everyone, Jia Cong walked towards Mozhu Courtyard, but just after passing the Yimen, he was stopped by Lin Zhixiao and said, "Master, please go to Rongqing Hall quickly." ”

Jia Cong saw that Lin Zhixiao, who had always been calm, was sad at the moment, and frowned: "Uncle Lin, what happened?" ”

Lin Zhixiao has always been strict-mouthed, but at this time he just shook his head and said, "Third master, go quickly, you will know when you go." ”

Jia Cong was not surprised, after glancing at Lin Zhixiao, he nodded and walked towards Rongqing Hall.

……

In the Rongqing Hall, there was a faint sound of sobbing.

After Jia Cong entered, he greeted Jia's mother, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang and others, and after getting up, he saw Jia's mother's face solemn, Mrs. Wang's eyes were pity, Jia Zheng's face was sad and helpless, and sighed.

Even Jia Lian, Baoyu and others were worried, and the crying came from the sisters of the Jia family.

The atmosphere was simply heavy......

Jia Cong saw that no one even spoke, and knew that something must have happened, and most of it had something to do with him.

He took the initiative to look at Jia Zheng and asked, "Master, but what happened?" ”

When Jia Zheng heard this, he stopped talking, his face was full of grief and even shame, and after waving his hand, he pointed at Jia Lian.

Seeing that Jia Lian couldn't hide, he could only laugh dryly, and said to Jia Cong: "Three...... Third brother, this morning the lord handed over your identity, I originally thought that with the military aircraft and those officials of the military department, I might wait for next year, who knows, who knows that it was sent in the morning, and that group of people sent your identity license at noon, it's really ......."

When Jia Cong heard this, he paused, smiled lightly under everyone's attention, and said, "This is not worth it?" You have to leave sooner or later, so what does it matter if you are a few days late or a few days early. ”

When Jia Lian heard this, he didn't even dare to look at Jia Cong, his eyes looked away, and he smiled dryly: "There is still ...... There are also those bastards in the military department, and the place where the third brother joined the army is set at ...... It was set in Aihui City. ”

Jia Cong was stunned when he heard this, Aihui City was the Aihui District of Heihe City, Heilongjiang City in later generations.

The reason why he knows this city is because he had traveled here in his previous life, and as one of the top ten coldest cities in the country, it is more than 40 degrees below zero in winter, and it is a place where peeing is a pillar.

At this time, the city of Yaksa further north had almost no garrisons, and there were no civilians.

Therefore, Aihui City is the northernmost city of Daqian, or in other words, it is an important military town.

It is further norther, more remote, and more bitterly cold than Ningguta.

If it weren't for the ambition of the wolf son of Eros, who always invaded the south, Aihui City might not have many troops.

It's too bitter cold.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that if Jia Cong remembers correctly, the current Aihui garrison is constantly being sent to Yaksa to fight against the Eros Rakshasa devils who are attacking again.

War in the snow and ice!

It's strange that everyone in the family looks like this, and from an ordinary person's point of view, this trip is also a life of nine deaths.
