Chapter 497: Shopping

If it weren't for Guan Jing's constant maneuvering, I'm afraid the city would have fallen, Guan Jing thinks that he has done enough for Gongsun Zhan, people live in the world, it is nothing more than chasing fame and fortune, Guan Jing originally thought that under Gongsun Zhan's hands, he could display the talent he had learned all his life, win fame, and shine on the lintel, but he didn't expect Gongsun Chan to end up dead, and his family also fell into Youzhou, and I don't know how to do it so far.

"Send someone to check on Guan Jing!" Jia Rong looked at Zhang Xiu on the side, Jia Rong would not hesitate to take refuge in his official position, especially Guan Jing, a strategist who had been reused under Gongsun Zan before, must be powerful.

"No!" Zhang Xiu clenched his fists and left.

After the rebellion of the state and the battle of the princes, the Xiliang army lost a total of 60,000 soldiers before and after, these soldiers are the backbone of the army, it can be said that the losses are heavy, more than 10,000 wounded and disabled, the strength of the army fell, and the naval army that had been formed for many years was also disintegrated by Liu Biao and Sun Ce, and the losses were unprecedentedly heavy.

The soldiers who have passed the test of war are all elite soldiers, with these backgrounds, Jia Rong is not worried about the military strength of the Xiliang army, a conscription order, Jia Rong can easily pull out a cavalry from the Qiang people, the Huns, and the Xianbei people, the key is that there is no strong financial support, no matter how many troops are in vain, but fortunately, the merchants of Chang'an have driven the development of the economy, even if it is just collecting taxes, it is not comparable to the princes of the Central Plains.

Seeing that the two children were already running around all over the ground, Jia Rong was full of apologies in his heart, and he was busy one after another, but he ignored his love for his children, in the final analysis, he was not a qualified father, and he did not pay attention to their education, etc., fortunately, Cai Yong, a good grandfather, although he did not force the children to learn any Confucian classics, but taught the two children politely.

Although as the son of a general, Jia Rong didn't want them to receive any special treatment, and the place where the class was held was also a school in Chang'an City, like the children of many generals' families, they did not engage in specialization, and when they went in and out, there were naturally people secretly protecting them.

"Sorry for you, come here!" Jia Rong lowered his body and called.

"Father!" When the two children heard Jia Rong's call, they came to Jia Rong respectfully and shouted in an immature tone.

Jia Rong sighed in his heart, in the future, when he was his age, he would still cry to his parents, but he didn't expect the two children to be so well-behaved.

"Ren'er, you're your brother's, you have to let your brother do everything, you know?" Jia Rong said in a low voice.

Jia Ren glanced at Jia Rong fearfully, and shook his head again and again, he dared to be presumptuous in his mother's arms, but he would not be presumptuous in front of Jia Rong, and Jia Rong had an aura of fear on his body.

"What's wrong? Tenacity? Jia Rong asked.

Jia Ren said: "Every time, my brother bullies me, I have little strength, and I can't beat my brother." As he spoke, Jia Ren seemed to feel extremely aggrieved, and the corners of his mouth twitched constantly, as if he wanted to cry.

Jia Rong gently stroked the heads of the two children and said with a smile: "Isn't it impossible for Mr. to teach you the courage of the puppet when you were in the school?" ”

"Father, what is the courage of the horseman?" Jia Ren looked up and asked.

Jia Rong then remembered that the two children were only three years old, and it was a blessing not to cry or make trouble, and he could still expect him to learn something in the school, and the soldiers were fierce, it is estimated that the two of them carried their schoolbags to the school every day to mix the goods, and when they saw something unpleasant, the two of them stepped forward to bully them again, anyway, these children didn't dare to say anything after they went back.

"What is called the courage of the horseman, that is, when fighting and fighting, the person who can't use his brain will always rush to the front, which makes people feel that he is very majestic." Jia Rong pointed to Jia Ren's little head and explained in words that the two children could understand.

"And the smart ones don't show their faces and hide behind their backs to command."

Jia Ren nodded as if he had realized, pointed at Jia Yan and said, "Is my father talking about the courage of my younger brother?" ”

Jia Rong nodded amusedly.

"Ren'er, can you understand it in the academy?"

Jia Ren saw that his father was rarely kind, and complained: "Father, my younger brother and I are the youngest in the school, and there are many things that the teacher teaches that I don't understand. ”

Jia Xi was also staring at Jia Rong with flashing eyes on the side, going to school was an extremely boring thing in Jia Rong's opinion.

Jia Rong glanced at the two children, how could he not understand what was going on in their heads.

"Well, yes, it's my father's mistake, every time I go to the school for five days in the future, I can rest for two days, how about it?"

"Father is the best, father is the best!" The two children clapped their hands and praised, they have always had little contact with Jia Rong, the two children have a strangeness to Jia Rong, and their impression of their father is also from the older children in the school.

The child is still very young, to be honest, Jia Rong doesn't want him to go to the school to study Laoshizi, but Cai Yong is the head of the school, naturally he doesn't want his grandson to be illiterate in the future, so he has no choice but to get Jia Ren into the school, and the Wei family is not to be outdone, and the back foot sent Jia Cheng into the school, the seemingly simple move actually represents the beginning of the contest between the two shili of the Xiliang Army, of course, this cannot be called the contest of shili, the two children are still very naΓ―ve.

In the eyes of the courtiers below, there will only be one heir to the Xiliang Army, Jia Ren or Jia Xi, or some children in the future.

Jia Ren is the eldest son of the concubine, Jia regret is the son-in-law, such a situation is very troublesome in the eyes of the ruler, Jia Rong didn't think about it so much, the boat is naturally straight to the bridge, which child shows enough ability, and inherits his position.

It's not enough for children to just study in the academy, and when they get a little older, they will definitely have to go to the army to experience something, and they won't understand it if they haven't really experienced something.

It is rare for Jia Rong to show his father's love, the two children followed closely behind their father, and the clothes on their bodies were also changed by Jia Rong into coarse cloth clothes, swaying on the street, and wearing a low-key one can reduce a lot of trouble.

"Father, when we come out, won't Weishenme ride in a carriage?" Jia asked with a tiger's head.

Jia Rong's face suddenly became serious, "Sorry, for the sake of the superior, you should be diligent and thrifty, not extravagant and wasteful, just like our father and son walked out of the general's mansion in simple clothes." ”

Seeing Jia Rong's crying and sad face, Jia Rong hurriedly said two nice words of coaxing.

Zhang Xiu, who was following not far away, saw the scene of the father and son on the street, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, "Pay close attention to the surroundings and protect the safety of the lord and son." ”

In Chang'an, the Xiliang Army is a well-deserved overlord, if there is any mistake here, Zhang Xiu is estimated to be forced by Jia Xu to commit suicide and apologize.

Along the way, Jia Ren and Jia Yi looked around, encountered something in the photo, and knew what it meant to ask Jia Rong.

Three times in a row, Jia Rong bought it without hesitation, which made the two children excited, in front of Jia Rong, there was no longer restraint, and they were at ease to play and play, the two children talked to Jia Rong from time to time, and there were few such opportunities.

Looking at the two happy bird-like children, Jia Rong also put aside his troubles in military and political affairs for the time being, and played with the two children wholeheartedly.

However, the two children did not go home, but Cai Yan and Wei Fu were in a hurry, in the past two years, Jia Rong rarely stayed in Chang'an, and the two daughters pinned all their efforts on the children.

"Madam, the two sons went to the bazaar with the general, and it is estimated that it will take a while to return." A maid stepped forward and whispered.

Cai Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said, "Tell your subordinates to prepare some food." ”

Suddenly, Jia Rong was attracted by a stall next to the market, an emerald green hairpin.

The merchant who sells things has long since refined a good eye, and will introduce; "This gentleman is really good eyesight, this hairpin is made by Haode Baoyu, and it is hard to find."

Jia Rong nodded slightly, noncommittal, and held the hairpin in his hand.

After a while, seeing that Jia Rong still didn't say a word, the merchant was a little anxious, the most precious of these commodities was this hairpin, which was also obtained by the merchant by chance, seeing that it was extraordinary, so he took it to Chang'an to sell, intending to sell it at a good price, in fact, he didn't know what material this hairpin was.

"This gentleman, do you want to buy it?" There was a slight anxiety in the merchant's tone.

"Which family's children, why are they running around on the street, but Miss Ben bought this dress at a great price, and brought these two children to the official office."

The spy voice woke Jia Rong up, glanced at the merchant apologetically, and put down the hairpin, "I'll come back later, don't sell this hairpin to others." ”

The merchant nodded again and again, and said that Jia Rong didn't bring enough money, and he had seen too many forced buying and selling in other places, and when he saw Jia Rong's expression just now, he thought that he wanted to take it away and not pay the bill, but then he thought that this was Chang'an, and his heart was completely relaxed.

Pushing aside the crowd, Jia Rong saw Jia Ji and Jia Ren surrounded in the middle, and a woman with heavy makeup pointed to the two children and kept drinking.

Seeing this, Jia Rongqiang held back the anger in his heart and asked almost in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

"Father!" Jia Renxiao lowered his head with a flushed face, tears rolled in his eyes, as a general's child, when did he suffer such a grievance, but the dignity in his heart told him that he couldn't cry.

Jia Xi looked at the woman with a disapprehensive expression, quite manly, but the young age had already made the onlookers ignore the anger in the child's heart.

"You're the family of these two children?" The woman pointed at Jia Rong and shouted, the spy voice made Jia Rong frown slightly.

Zhang Xiu and others had already hurried over with lone wolf soldiers, and the incident happened suddenly, which caught the lone wolf a little off guard.

Jia Rong raised his hand and said coldly: "I am, I don't know what to advise?" If today's things can't be given to Ben...... I have a fitting way to put it, huh. ”

"These two furry children have soiled my clothes and don't know how to discipline them at home." The woman muttered, as if she was shocked by Jia Rong's momentum that burst out in an instant.
