Autumn rain.

In the twelfth year of Chongkang, the sixth day of August.

At dawn.

The sky was overcast and gloomy.

In the Mozhu courtyard, the candles are bright.

However, it was only two o'clock in the morning (six o'clock in the morning), and there were maids in the courtyard from time to time.

In the autumn of Guanzhong, the night is already cool, revealing a cold air.

If it was in the past, the maids of Mozhu Courtyard would not dare to disobey Jia Cong's will, and they would not go in and out every half an hour.

Hot tea and snacks were replaced, and warm water and handkerchiefs were prepared at all times, and two toilets with incense were prepared......

But now that they have someone to support them, even Jia Cong can't help it, so he can only go with them.

When it was time to get up and move his neck, hands and feet, and muscles and bones every hour, he saw Ping'er coming in with a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup with a smile.

A lotus yellow skirt embroidered with flowing water moire makes Ping'er look more gentle and pretty.

The silk Luo Zhucui is dazzling, and she is also more beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

"Cong'er, it's time, get up and take a walk. Sitting for a long time hurts your neck and hurts your body......"

Ping'er is soft-spoken, soft and beautiful.

This set of rhetoric was originally the reason why Jia Cong explained to everyone why he got up and moved after sitting for an hour.

But it was written down by the careful Ping'er, and it became a rule.

Ping'er even remembered that Uncle Xianzhu had dried up because of hard study, and he was gone early.

So the urging is getting tighter.

Since Jia Lian went to Donglu Courtyard, although he was very reluctant to give up Wang Xifeng, in order to avoid suspicion, Ping'er still took the initiative to move back to Mozhu Courtyard.

Jia Cong got up and looked at Ping'er with picturesque eyebrows under the lamp, a smile appeared on his clear face, and he said with a smile: "Why do you want to follow my sister?" In the past, I let Qingwen and the others go to bed early and don't get up. Isn't my sister a bad person now? ”

Ping'er glanced at him with disdain, pursed his lips and smiled: "You're about to end up in Qiuqiu, just a few days, I'm going to be this bad guy, can't I?" ”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Of course, I can't wait to ask my sister to take care of me for the rest of my life." ”

"Phew!"

Hearing this straightforward remark, Ping'er's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she said: "Cong'er is getting older, and she is not learning well." ”

Jia Cong was not embarrassed at all, looked at Ping'er with bright and generous eyes, and said softly: "Sister, it's not me frivolous." Although we seem to be in a much better situation now, who else can treat me sincerely except my sister? I won't be fascinated by the glitz and glitz of this world, I can always see clearly, if one day I am down, the only one who can get along with me is my sister. ”

Looking at Jia Cong's handsome eyes, the look was so calm and soft, Ping'er's shyness was gone, and he said softly: "Okay, what are you talking about?"

I'm your girl, so I'm going to serve you all the time. Besides, I'm not the only one, aren't Qingwen and them also sincere? ”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "They are also good, but they are different from my sister after all." ”

Although the words were not finished, the smart and intelligent Ping'er still understood what Jia Cong meant.

If he had been down, Qingwen and Xiaohong, girls with hearts higher than the sky, would not have been willing to follow him at first.

It's just that......

Ping'er's eyes softened more and more, and she gently persuaded: "The world is like this, they are not wrong, and now they are also serving you wholeheartedly, but they can't say this anymore, it chills their hearts."

It is said that it is a blessing to be confused, and Cong'er should not be shrewd in everything.

Carefully follow the old saying, wisdom will hurt. ”

Jia Cong shook his head when he heard this, and he smiled and said, "I understand, it's just that I feel my sister's preciousness more." That's why I hope my sister can always take care of me......"

When Ping'er heard this, her pretty face flushed again, her apricot eyes were full of autumn water, she bit her red lip, and said softly: "I'm your girl, as long as you don't dislike me for driving me away, naturally you have to be your housekeeper all the time." ”

Jia Cong's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said: "I told my second brother that I will never allow a person of such character as my sister to be reduced to a concubine, so how can my sister always be a maid......."

"Cong'er!"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ping'er's anxious drink, Ping'er's rare shame, he looked back at the door, and when he saw that there was no one, he turned around, red-eyed and whispered: "Cong'er wants to force me to death?" ”

Jia Cong frowned and said, "Why is my sister here? ”

Ping'er said angrily: "What is my identity, and what is Cong'er's identity?" If people hear a word, only when I am a lowly fox and instigated all the good masters, then there is still a way for me to live? ”

Jia Cong said: "Sister, don't worry, no matter how stupid I am, I won't talk to outsiders right now, wouldn't that be asking for trouble for us?" I just want to tell my sister that my sister treats me so well, and I will not let my sister be left unsettled. ”

When Ping'er heard this, she was moved and sad in her heart, and said with a strong smile: "It's good that you have this heart, but how can I resist such thoughts?" You're still young, and you don't understand many things, I ...... Ouch! ”

Before Ping'er finished speaking, she felt a strong force coming from her waist and holding her forward.

With an exclamation, he closed his eyes in a bluff, and only came back to his senses when he fell into someone's arms.

When he opened his eyes again, he was just facing Jia Cong's eyes.

Frightened, she was about to struggle, but she was shocked to see that the face that appeared thousands of times in her dream was getting closer, and she closed her eyes again, and then she felt that her lips were bitten......

Jia Cong accepted it when he saw it, raised his head, and said to Ping'er, whose eyelashes were trembling with her eyes closed and her face flushed: "No matter how much I say now, my sister doesn't believe it, so I just don't say more, good sister, just look at the future." ”

"Cong'er, you...... You...... For...... Why me? Furong Gongzi just sent you the four treasures of the study. And also...... And the daughter of the prime minister's family......"

Ping'er didn't open her eyes, she was short of breath, and asked in a trembling voice. At this point, she will no longer deceive herself, so she asks the doubts in her heart.

As for the things asked, there are also allusions, because Jia Cong is about to end up in the autumn season, so Ye Qing sent someone to send a set of internal pen and ink.

That's right, Qin Xiangyuan has brought Ye Qing and Jia Cong very rich profits in the past few months, and Ye Qing sent a set of Wen Mo, which is also said in the past.

But Ning Zechen's daughter Ning Yuyao also came to join in the fun, which made many people think about it, and caused a lot of waves inside and outside Jiafu......

Ping'er was naturally not indifferent and had been curious for a long time...... Hearing what she said, Jia Cong smiled, did not avoid the question, and replied honestly: "It's very simple, they are just friendships." The most important thing is that I hope that my feelings in this life will not be mixed with any other impurities except love, just pure you and me, pure love for each other. ”

When Ping'er heard this, she opened her watery eyes and looked at Jia Cong stupidly, and said softly: "Cong'er, you are really ...... It's not like a twelve-year-old at all. ”

When Jia Cong heard this, he looked at Ping'er, whose face was like a peach blossom, and suddenly laughed evilly, and said, "What about twelve-year-olds?" Baoyu is also twelve years old, and he has already achieved good things with raiders. I just kissed my sister......"

This is the tongue that Jia Huan came to chew before, the source is Aunt Zhao. A Jia Mansion says that it is not small, but it is not big, and it can't be hidden from people who have a heart......

When Ping'er heard this, her pretty face, which was already flushed, was as red as blood, and she broke free from Jia Cong's arms at once, and said in shame: "Say it again, carefully...... Watch your skin! ”

Jia Cong laughed, drank the lotus seed soup on the table, and said to Ping'er, who was still ashamed and uneven, and her chest was rising and falling violently: "Sister, don't worry, I am different from Baoyu, and my sister is even more different from the attacker." Sister, go get busy, I'm going to study. ”

When Ping'er saw Jia Cong, she immediately sat down and pretended to read the article aloud, embarrassed and angry.

But after all, he couldn't bear to disturb his reading, put away the lotus porcelain bowl and was about to leave, when he saw a figure suddenly break into the bead curtain, panting and jumping into the study, excited and speechless.

Ping'er was shocked when she saw it, and frowned: "Xiangling, what's wrong?" ”

The person who came was Xiangling, who had always been well-behaved and stupid, but at this moment Xiangling was bluffing excitedly, tears were flowing non-stop in her big eyes, and she didn't answer the best Ping'er on weekdays, only staring at Jia Cong and crying.

Seeing her like this, Ping'er was confused, but Jia Cong's eyes suddenly lit up, and said, "But the person who went south to find your mother has returned?" ”

When Xiangling heard this, she nodded again and again, and cried out loud.

His eyes were full of anticipation, but he was also full of fear and confusion, and his body trembled......

With such a pitiful appearance, Ping'er was distressed, and hurriedly put down the lotus bowl and hugged Xiangling, and coaxed softly: "Poor one, how can you be like this?" This is a very good thing, no one treats you harshly in the house, everyone loves you, and now even the old lady is looking for it, it can be seen that the future will be better, only the truth of joy, but you can't cry anymore. Otherwise, when your mother came to see you, she just thought we were bullying you! ”

Hearing Ping'er's soft voice, Xiangling's tense body slowly relaxed, but she still cried.

Jia Cong got up and smiled: "What are you crying for? Since we're here, let's go and greet you. ”

At this time, Xiaohong, Chunyan, and Qingwen also came in in a hurry, and it was Xiaohong who learned about the situation from her mother and was the first to tell Xiangling.

A group of people gathered together and rushed to the front.

……

At this time, the autumn rain will stop, and the sky will just dawn.

Jia Zheng's subordinates, Cheng Rixing, Ji Haogu, and several small servants, escorted the two back to Rongfu from Jiangnan.

After Cheng Rixing and Ji Haogu returned, they found that the situation in Jiafu had changed greatly, and old friends such as Zhan Guang, Shan Pingren, and Bu Guxiu were gone.

Even the old housekeepers such as Lai Da, Zhou Rui, and Shan Daliang are gone, and there is only one Lin Zhixiao left among acquaintances.

was shocked, but he didn't have time to ask more, so he introduced the person he brought back to Jia Zheng who rushed to hear the news.

The matter involves Jia Yu Village, which he values very much, and Jia Zheng cannot afford not to pay attention to it.

"Please be in peace!"

"Master auspicious!"

"Master Nafu!"

Jia Zheng came to the outer study, greeted Cheng Rixing and Ji Haogu, the two Qing guests, said their hard work, and agreed to take over the wind and wash the dust After the day, he looked at the people they picked up from Jiangnan.

A white-haired old man was sincerely frightened, and knelt down with a flattering face to greet Jia Zheng.

This kind of appearance, Jia Zheng didn't like it when he saw it.

But in the end, honoring his old age makes people support him.

Cheng Rixing said: "Shi Weng, this person is the old man Feng Su in Daruzhou, Jiangnan, and the Jinshi in Jia Yu Village is the county of Daruzhou, and he has been an old friend of Zhen Shiyin, the son-in-law of Feng Lao Weng. What the third master Cong said before is not bad. This ......" pointed to the woman who was standing behind Feng Su with her head bowed and gray hair: "This is Zhen Shiyin's wife Zhen Feng, Zhen Shiyin's spirit has deteriorated since his daughter was lost, and he was lost all day long, and it is said that he became a monk." Zhen Fengshi did some needlework at home to subsidize the family. Although the old man often ordered her to remarry, only she was virtuous and well-versed in etiquette, insisted on observing the festival for Zhen Shiyin, and had an expectation, so she insisted to this day. ”

When Jia Zheng heard this, his heart was both painful and respectful, and he asked, "What are you looking forward to?" ”

Cheng Rixing said: "Zhen Feng's family was promised by Jia Yucun that day that they would make efforts to find her abducted daughter Yinglian. Because Zhen Shiyin had a great favor in Jiayu Village that day, she thought that one day, she would be able to find her beloved daughter, so she waited hard. ”

When Jia Zheng heard this, thinking about Jia Yucun, who he valued and bothered to recommend, thinking that he could trust it in the future, his face turned red with shame, and he scolded with hatred: "How can this ungrateful forgetful thing be such a bastard thing that is not as good as a pig and a dog?!" If he had explained the reason for this on the same day, would my family still be unreasonable? ”

As soon as the words landed, I heard a clear laughter from behind: "Why should the master be angry?" If Jia Yucun said this, how could he hide his cunning and unrighteous face? If it weren't for the gourd monk of the gourd temple to tell this public case, who would have thought that the dignified Jia Yucun would have such a wolf heart and dog lungs?

not only deceived the master, but even his uncle was deceived by him. ”

When Jia Zheng heard this, his anger decreased slightly, and he said slowly: "It's Cong'er who is here......

"Yinglian?!"

Before Jia Zheng could say anything, he saw Zhen Feng, who had been keeping his head down before, looking up at a girl behind Jia Cong, and after looking at it for a while, he made a tentative call.

Everyone will not doubt the authenticity of the identity at all, because although Zhen Feng's family is old, he is fifty percent similar to the girl behind Jia Cong.

"Yinglian!!"

Zhen Feng, who has always been humble and timid, saw Xiangling's face more and more clearly, especially the rice-sized rouge mole at the center of her eyebrows, and no longer doubted, and after a heart-rending cry, he slowly cried and fell to the ground.

“…… Mother? ”

……
