"Alright."

On the carriage, seeing Ping'er's depressed expression, Jia Cong said with relief: "Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, people's hearts are like this, human nature is like this, don't be disappointed by their style." ”

Ping'er shook her head and said, "It's not for this...... They only cared about how many things their grandmother brought back, but none of them asked how their grandmother was doing in Beijing, not even the old grandmother...... Grandma was so nice to them and missed them so much......"

Jia Cong was silent when he heard this, and said: "In this world, because there are all kinds of people's hearts, it will not seem monotonous and boring. Not to mention the second sister-in-law, who would have thought that my old son would still want me to die? Tiger poison doesn't eat children. ”

Ping'er was startled when she heard this, her face turned pale, she looked at Jia Cong worriedly, and blamed herself guiltily: "Cong'er, don't say that, it's all mine, you shouldn't say this......"

Jia Cong smiled and waved his hand: "I was relieved a long time ago, I just want Sister Ping'er to know that what happens to others has nothing to do with us, even if our own Lao Tzu Niang is not good to us, we have to live well." ”

Ping'er was still distressed, nodded again and again, and didn't talk about Wang Xifeng.

Jia Cong knew that she might not really let go of her heart, so she grabbed Ping'er's waist, rubbed it gently, and said softly: "As long as you are good, are you still afraid that the second sister-in-law will not be taken care of in the future?" I know that I have a sour face, no one in the family dares to give you a face, and if you are here, no one dares to make the second sister-in-law ugly, so do you have to worry? ”

Ping'er's heart was about to melt, her body was soft and weak, snuggled in Jia Cong's arms, her apricot eyes were watery, and she didn't know what to say.

What women in the world are most afraid of is not the fleeting fading of Shaoguang, nor the poverty and hardships in life, but the most feared is the unloved person they meet.

Wang Xifeng is extremely beautiful, like a fairy concubine, and there is no shortage of silver in her life, but she is now living a difficult and painful life, which makes Ping'er feel distressed.

In contrast, Ping'er felt that she was really lucky and lucky.

……

All the way to Taipingli, the sky has become dark.

After entering the second gate, Jia Cong and Ping'er were greeted by Xiao Jiao'er and Fang Fang Yuanyuan.

was already in a good mood, but after looking at the three cute girls carved in pink, it became more and more comfortable.

Even Ping'er was flattered with a smile like a flower.

The three girls have all reached the age of changing their teeth, especially Fang Fang Yuanyuan, who even lost his front teeth in one mouth, which is really rare and dead.

On the verandah, Fang Fang Yuanyuan followed Ping'er, and Xiao Jiao'er followed Jia Cong with a smile.

Jia Cong asked casually, "What are you doing at home today?" ”

Xiao Jiao'er said happily: "He Fang Yuanyuan is picking chrysanthemums in the back garden!" The yellow, orange and orange are so good-looking, third master, do you want to go picking chrysanthemums with us? ”

Jia Cong twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and politely refused: "No, I prefer camellias, not chrysanthemums." ”

Xiao Jiao'er didn't give up yet, and tempted: "The third master can go to pick chrysanthemums with Miss Bao and Sister Ping'er!" ”

Jia Cong laughed, rubbed Xiao Jiao'er's brain, and said, "That's not the right way......

Don't talk about Xiaojiao'er, even Ping'er can't understand it.

Although Ping'er couldn't understand the meaning of the words, she could hear Jia Cong's smile a little bad.

He laughs only when he does shameful things in the tent.

Therefore, Ping'er glared at Jia Cong fiercely, but it made Jia Cong laugh more and more proudly.

Xu is Jia Cong's smug laughter alarmed inside, and after a while, I saw Baochai, Qingwen and others coming out of the main house and coming over with a smile.

Baochai looked at Jia Cong and asked with a smile, "So fast?" I said you would have dinner at Wang's house. ”

Qingwen asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Jia Cong replied first: "How can the food outside be as sweet as at home? And he said, "Laughing little horn." ”

Qingwen got started directly, kneaded Xiaojiao'er's two round faces into dough, and scolded with a smile: "I know how to slap horses all day long, and I will be careful about your good mouth sooner or later!" ”

Xiao Jiao'er was obedient, her face was deformed, and she laughed, and Qingwen, who had a knife mouth and a tofu heart, was embarrassed to let go of her hand, which made everyone laugh.

After the group returned to the house, Ping'er went to remove the makeup, Xiaohong and the others went to the kitchen to greet the food, Baochai said the business first: "My brother just sent a message in, saying that the person sent to the second uncle's house came back and said that the second uncle and the second aunt are at home, but the second uncle doesn't seem to be in good health, and he is sick in bed......"

As he spoke, Baochai's brows furrowed slightly, and his face was faintly worried.

Jia Cong said: "Then let's go and have a look with Brother Xue tomorrow." ”

After Baochai smiled, his face became rare hesitant......

Jia Cong was surprised and said, "Sister Bao, what else is there to say?" ”

When Baochai heard this, he hung his head slightly, and said with some shame: "It's my brother......"

Jia Cong somewhat understood, a strong person like Baochai was biased towards an unreliable brother like Xue Pan, and he was probably tired of it, so he asked with a smile: "Brother Xue, what's the matter with me?" ”

Baochai shook his head again and again: "I was just about to tell you this, my brother's ...... The heart is not bad, but the person is not reliable, Brother Cong only looks at my face, don't pay attention to him, and don't be angry with him, okay? ”

Looking at Baochai, who blushed with shame and pleading in his tone, Jia Cong smiled and said, "Are you a fool who is obsessed with beauty and is not clear about right and wrong?" ”

Baochai's disgust when she heard this, her temperament rarely made such a child's gesture.

Jia Cong smiled and explained: "I'm not a naughty joke, Brother Xue is Sister Bao's brother-in-law, so as long as he doesn't make big mistakes and doesn't bully people, no one should be able to bully him." But I won't condone him to do anything wrong, after all, the person I like is Sister Bao, not him, two different things.

Sister Bao won't think I'm too lonely, right? ”

When Baochai heard this, instead of being annoyed, he breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Jia Cong and smiled: "What is this?" That's how it should be. Although I am a daughter of the inner house, I also know the truth of 'habitual children are like killing children'. It's just that my father left early, and my mother didn't listen to me, so it was useless for me to persuade him several times...... In the past, he was different from his uncles and uncles, and he didn't dare to mess around in their names. But now...... My brother saw you pulling my men downstairs that day, so he ......"

Seeing that Baochai was embarrassed and couldn't continue, Jia Cong smiled and said, "Even if he sees me carrying you on the sedan chair, it's useless." ”

"Oops! Nonsense again! ”

Baochai's fair face was full of blush, and the gentle gaze in Shui Xing's eyes seemed to be able to soften the steel.

"Carrying you on the sedan chair" is probably the most beautiful love words that the daughter's family can hear in her life.

Jia Cong looked at Baochai with a smile, and Baochai's eyes were even softer, as if he wanted to plant his gaze in Jia Cong's eyes to take root and sprout, and never leave......

……

After having dinner together, we walked in the back garden of the Thousand Households for half an hour, and the night was already dark.

Baochai is a person who lives a very regular life, and when he arrives, he has to rest and sleep, so he goes to sleep in the wing room with Ying'er.

Ping'er, Qingwen and other girls accompanied Jia Cong back to the main room, and they were jubilant for another half an hour, and finally they all became sleepy.

Qingwen, Xiaohong and others were about to say goodbye, but Ping'er suddenly said, "Qingwen stays." ”

Although Xiaohong and the others were curious, the rules in the room did not allow them to ask more, which was a taboo, so they could only leave with curiosity.

Qingwen seemed to feel something, and looked at Ping'er with a slightly red face and said, "Sister is in trouble?" His eyes drifted to Jia Cong.

saw Jia Cong also looked at Ping'er in surprise.

A touch of shame also appeared on Ping'er's face, and he said softly: "I'm not very comfortable these days, you serve your third master well." ”

Most of the girls' families know each other's days, Qingwen pinched her fingers and said strangely: "Why is it two days early?" ”

Ping'er said embarrassedly: "How much do you know? ”

Originally, it was supposed to be on a date, but I was bullied by someone last night, and as soon as I was excited, I arrived early......

Trembling by Jia Cong's "curious" gaze, Ping'er stomped her foot and turned around and walked away quickly.

……

Shenjing Chang'an, Daming Palace.

Upper study.

When Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River is still warm and moist like spring, Guanzhong is already dry and cold.

Although there was no snow, the dry and cold weather made the palace burn hot earth dragons early.

The wind outside the house was awe-inspiring, but the inside of the house was hot.

In the Warm Heart Pavilion, Emperor Chongkang sat on the dragon chair behind the imperial case, and his eyes swept the hall.

Dai Quan, the chief eunuch of Daming Palace, stood on the side of the imperial case, his face was faintly strange, as if he was frightened, as if he was unwilling, and as if he was jealous......

The two bronze cranes in front of His Majesty stood tall, with long necks and strong necks, and two streams of ambergris fragrance continued to erupt from the crane's beak.

On the two rows of vermilion lacquer chairs under the hall, there are seven cabinet ministers.

Shou Fu Ning was the first, and at this moment he looked at the fold in his hand with an indifferent face.

It's just that the fingers pinching the edge of the fold are faintly pale, but they show that their strength is extraordinary, and their hearts must be equally unquiet.

Although Zhao Qingshan, Lin Qinghe, Wu Qichuan, Song Guangxian, Lou Chengwen, and Zhang Yungu have not yet seen the twists and turns, they have actually heard some rumors earlier.

Now just looking at Ning Zechen's expression, it can be concluded that those rumors are groundless......

But...... How can it be?!

After the imperial case, Emperor Chongkang's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes looked coldly and sarcastically at the seven ministers who held the authority of the world.

Although he is an emperor, he has to rely on these seven people to control the world and hundreds of millions of people.

Monarchy and power complement each other, but they are opposed to each other.

As far as the monarchy is concerned, it is hoped that the power can perfectly implement the will of the Son of Heaven.

But as far as Xiangquan is concerned, the Holy Son of Heaven should rule by hanging the arch and ruling by inaction......

If the monarchy is strong, the relative power will be weak, and if the monarchy is strong, the monarchy will decline.

This is an objective law, but Emperor Chongkang and Ning Zechen are both iron-fisted and powerful people.

It is extremely rare for the two of them to get along all the way.

But it's almost the limit.

Although it is far from tearing the skin, many things are already tacit......

They are all waiting for Jiangnan to finish.

One hopes to do the best of the new law, and then be able to retreat with his whole body.

The other also wants the new law to be implemented and then liquidated according to the situation......

Originally, the monarchs and ministers thought that Jia Cong's southward movement would become a sharp blade of the Jiangnan New Party, but they did not expect that the sharp blade itself would jump out of the shackles and open up another world.

This is naturally bad news for Ning Zechen and others.

For Chongkangdi, it is not good but not bad news.

In particular, Jia Cong also put on a box of secret folds, and completely told the events that happened in the dozens of days from Chang'an at the end of July to Jinling in October.

Even more detailed than the secret fold that came from another source.

Coupled with the accurate list of every hundred households, although Jia Cong's actions exceeded Chongkangdi's expectations, in terms of results, Chongkangdi was very satisfied.

If the Jinyi Guard can really be rebuilt and become a sharp blade to defend the imperial power, how can Emperor Chongkang not be happy?

As for Jia Cong, who told a big lie and teased the whole world......

Chongkangdi's eyes narrowed slightly, and the gaze revealed in his eyes was obviously not a color of appreciation......
