The twelfth year of Chongkang, April 20.

Gu Yu.

In the south, the poplar flowers have fallen to the end of the rules, and in the north, although there are spring flowers blooming, it is still cold in spring.

Early in the morning, Rongfu study, Mengpo Zhai.

Jia Cong, eight-year-old Jia Huan, and six-year-old Jia Lan came to say goodbye to Jia Zheng.

Today's Qujiang banquet can bring the children of the family.

After returning to Jia Zheng yesterday, Jia Cong asked if he could take the two children to travel to Qujiang with the great Confucianism of the world.

If Baoyu is willing, he can also go with him.

Jia Zheng naturally gladly responded, but on Baoyu's side, Jia's mother said: Baoyu is unwell and should not travel far......

Although Jia Zheng was depressed, he couldn't.

only repeatedly told Huanlan and the two of them that they must obey Jia Cong's orders, otherwise they will not be spared.

These words naturally focused on what Jia Huan said.

In fact, although this child is a little skinny, he still knows the severity outside.

was taken care of by Jia Zheng again, and naturally became more and more honest.

After leaving Mengpo Zhai, before he left the second door, he saw Li Kun waiting on the side of the road with Su Yun and three or four daughters-in-law.

Jia Cong hurriedly took Jia Huan and Jia Lan forward.

"Sister-in-law, isn't it still worrying? Or, Lan'er will go back next time? ”

Jia Cong saluted and asked with a smile.

Li Kun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Where is this, such a thing, Brother Cong can think of him, it is his blessing." are all famous Confucians, I'm afraid it's only one time in this life, where is the next time? I just thought, Brother Cong is out of the house, and he brings two more burdens, and I'm afraid I can't do it without some silver in my hand. I also forgot, so I'll hurry up and send some here. I just hope that Brother Cong doesn't think that my sister-in-law and my widow are unemployed, and I look down on ......"

Jia Cong was startled when he heard this, and when he saw Li Kun taking the purse from Su Yun's hand, he was about to give money, and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, I am not short of money. Besides, if you go to Qujiang today, you won't be able to use these ......."

I also understood in my heart that Li Kun had always been a budget-conscious person, and he just wanted to save more belongings for Jia Lan, so he was not as bold as Sister Feng.

But when it comes to Jia Lan's first attendance at such a big Shilin event, she has no reason to be stingy.

Li Kun was generous to the end, and took out a piece of about ten taels of silver from his purse, which can almost be regarded as a "huge amount of money", and it is enough to call a table of good banquets with complete wine and meat in the restaurant outside.

Forced the silver into Jia Cong's hand, and said, "You have such a good thing thinking about Lan'er, and you don't have a lot of money in your hand, is it possible that you will be embarrassed outside?" Take it quickly, I'm your sister-in-law, and it's only right to give you silver. I just hope that you will not lose your dignity outside and come back safely, I am relieved. ”

Jia Cong smiled helplessly: "Sister-in-law, I don't even come out of the capital today, just in Qujiangchi." There is still the Royal Forest Army guarding there, the first safe place in the world, you are still not at ease? You give me money, and you don't have a place to spend it. Take it back......"

On the side, Jia Huan was a little anxious, looking at the huge amount of money in Jia Cong's hand, and blamed Jia Cong in his heart for being really stupid in reading, and he didn't want such a good thing as silver.

I blame my sister-in-law for hating the poor and loving the rich, why don't you stuff him with a piece of silver, and five taels will be successful......

Li Kun didn't want it, pushed it back again, and said angrily: "If the third brother pushes it again, I'll be annoyed!" ”

As he was talking, he saw a number of people coming behind him.

Led by Tanchun, Baochai and Xiangyun.

There are many grandmothers and girls behind him, and they are not idle in their hands, and they are all holding things.

As soon as the person arrived, Tanchun, who was dressed in a red dress, smiled coolly: "Thanks to the sister-in-law who is here to stop me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to catch up!" ”

Li Kunqi said: "You guys are ......"

Tanchun said with a smile: "I heard that the third brother wants to take Brother Huan'er and Lan'er out to see each other, which is an excellent thing, but I was worried that my aunt would not think of it, so I specially sent some silver over." Brother Huan'er is an ignorant person, and if he makes trouble outside, it won't be beautiful if he makes it difficult for the third brother. I think the same is true for my sister-in-law......"

Jia Cong laughed and said, "I can't afford to hire a host?" Brother Huan'er has invited me several times, and it is time for me to return it again. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, but Jia Huan unconsciously raised his chest......

Tanchun said seriously: "The third brother is a person who understands and understands, and he will not misunderstand what his sister means, and his sister will never look down on his brother's thoughts."

It's just that the third brother hasn't been an official yet, and now he has no income for the time being, and it is indispensable to spend money on socializing outside.

My sister lives in the inner house, and she has public expenses for food and drink, and the money is not needed at all in January and February, so when will my son not use it? ”

and euphemistically persuaded: "The third brother is so famous now, and he is born well, he must be eye-catching outside, and he must not be despised because of the short money......

Jia Cong smiled dumbly and said: "Third sister, it's really not my hypocrisy, I also told my sister-in-law just now, and now I really have silver in my hand, I don't believe you asked Brother Huan." ”

Jia Huan was jealous that Tanchun didn't give him the silver he didn't give to Jia Cong, so he nodded and said: "Don't give him the silver, Jia Cong ......" Seeing Tanchun's eyes glaring at him, he hurriedly changed his words: "Third Brother Cong also gave me five taels of silver before the child, and asked me to take Lan'er out to buy candy......"

"Ouch! How does this work? These two children are also not sensible! ”

Li Kun couldn't listen to it anymore and blamed.

Tanchun also wants to train people, Jia Cong hurriedly stopped and smiled: "Okay, okay, I'm a brother and an uncle, what is it worth inviting my brother and nephew to be a host?" It's hard to go on, otherwise everyone will run out. Sister-in-law, Sister Bao, third sister, Sister Yun, let's talk about it when we come back. ”

Anyway, take people away.

Baochai hurriedly said: "Brother Cong wait......

Jia Cong looked at it and asked, "Sister Bao is still in trouble?" ”

Baochai saw Jia Cong's handsome face and slightly sharp eyes, her heart jumped, her pretty face was slightly dizzy, and she smiled busily: "I got up early today, and I saw a lot of dew on the branches and leaves, and it was raining again. As soon as he and the three girls were together, they found some hats, robes, and clogs. Brother Cong might as well be prepared, if it is not less, but a few of us are worried about it, if it rains, it is just in an emergency. ”

When Li Kun heard this, he said happily: "It's strange that Bao Yatou is the most thoughtful, it's really not wrong, I didn't even think about it, you think about it so completely." ”

Baochai, who has always been generous, was embarrassed at the moment, and said hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, don't talk about it......" A pair of bright apricot eyes looked at Jia Cong on the side.

Baochai wears a lotus-colored dress, her lips are red without dots, her eyebrows are green without painting, and her white skin is as white as blood, with a touch of red and moving.

Jia Cong looked at the rain gear in the hands of the grandmother behind him, and thanked him: "Sister Bao, Third Sister and Sister Yun have a heart,"

Although Baochai was a little disappointed, he still smiled: "I only learned yesterday that Brother Cong gave up such a large amount of money in order to help his brother, and he didn't know how to repay it." ”

Jia Cong smiled when he heard this, knowing that Aunt Xue, who lost face yesterday, would be worried when she went back, he shook his head and smiled: "What is that worth, I don't care about that." ”

said, and changed the topic again: "I look at more than three, why are there so many?" ”

Baochai pursed her lips and smiled, her apricot eyes became more and more bright, and she smiled brightly: "People who want to go may not have these, and they will ...... when the time comes."

It turned out to be a gift, and after Jia Cong responded with a smile, he looked at Baochai again.

After the two glanced at each other, Baochai hurriedly lowered his head.

Jia Cong's gaze was completely different from Baoyu's, and it was also different from the other men she had seen.

Baoyu's eyes were always warm, and the men in her father and brother and relatives looked at her gently.

Only Jia Cong's gaze is clear but sharp, which seems to be able to pierce people's hearts, and he doesn't dare to look more, but he wants to see more......

Jia Cong smiled when he saw it, and after admiring the shyness of Yan Baochai, he smiled with Tanchun and Xiangyun, and then said goodbye to Li Kun, and took Jia Huan and Jia Lan out.

Behind him, Li Kun, Tanchun, and Xiangyun all looked at Baochai with somewhat complicated eyes.

The theory of Jin Yuliang's fate is no longer news in Jiafu.

No one is a fool, although no one knows what is brewing, but they all know it.

But......

Whenever I see Baochai in front of Jia Cong, she behaves differently from usual, and she is so shy, which can no longer be seen elsewhere.

Isn't that clear enough?

However, due to the situation, Li Kun, Tanchun, Xiangyun and others were not able to say anything, otherwise Baochai was too embarrassed and couldn't deal with himself.

Everyone laughed and sent the mother-in-law to send the rain gear to Jia Cong's three-person car, and then walked inside.

……

Daming Palace, upper study.

In the Warm Heart Pavilion, Emperor Chongkang frowned slightly.

On the chair below, Ning Zechen, the deputy minister of the cabinet, also looked solemn.

The old party members of Xinzhishi gathered in Qujiangchi to revisit, and no one dared to underestimate this momentum.

Not to mention whether they will make any shocking complaints on the spot, only these old and old, sick and sick, weak and weak "old people", no matter which one has a problem, if there is a good one, the court will fall into the crotch of the crotch, not is.

If it is spread outside, it may become famous.

But to prohibit these old ministers from visiting the garden, let alone to say.

has already taken on the reputation of being mean and unkind, and if he really wants to issue this ban, he must cause an uproar in the world.

"Alas......"

Ning Zechen, who had always been rigid, couldn't help but sigh at this moment, and said tiredly: "Your Majesty, send more guards, as well as the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital, prepare in advance." ”

Chongkangdi also felt depressed, but what could he do?

smiled helplessly and said: "Don't let these old ministers wander around Qujiang, I don't know how many times I've seen those scenes in Qujiang." Open the Hibiscus Garden and let them go to the Hibiscus Garden.

Dai Quan ......"

The chief eunuch of Daming Palace appeared in an instant, and his cat-like steps did not have a sound.

Seeing him appear, a trace of disgust and solemnity flashed in Ning Zechen's eyes.

An emperor will never allow one party to dominate.

Although the old party has gone down, another party has quietly emerged.

It's even trickier.

That's the eunuch party......

Dai Quan bowed and said, "What is Your Majesty's will?" ”

Emperor Chongkang said what he and Ning Zechen had said before, and then issued a death order: "No old minister is allowed to have an accident, otherwise, I am the only one who asks." ”

"Boom!"

Before Dai Quan could respond, a muffled sound suddenly sounded outside the upper study.

When everyone heard this, their faces changed.

It's thundering, it's going to be stormy......
