Chapter 153: Favoritism (Reward and Change)
Who called Si Ding, the prince of the king of Chu, to pass the word, this guy didn't say.
Jia Cong didn't have the idea of inquiry, he knew it in his heart.
"It seems that my two books have caused a lot of trouble!"
That being said, there was not the slightest discoloration on his face, and it was clear that this was not the case in his mind.
"You kid knows!"
Si Dingzhi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: ""The Richest Man in the World" has made Yangzhou salt merchants very difficult, and "The Legend of Kaifeng Divine Capture of Sanssouci Cave" has made my Zhongshun Uncle Wang so afraid to go out, this threat is ......"
"You can't say that!"
Jia Cong had a different opinion, and said angrily: "If they don't have a problem, my two books are useless even if they are written out of thin air!" ”
"Here's the key!"
Si Ding's face was full of seriousness, and he said solemnly: "Who in this world has not done anything wrong, once it is revealed that outsiders are seated, it will be really miserable!" ”
"Hehe, I'm still young, I really haven't done anything wrong, you don't want to be innocent!"
Jia Cong smiled and said, "I'm white."
Si Ding almost lost a mouthful of old blood, and finally had a personal experience of Jia Cong's 'brazenness'.
"Don't talk nonsense, what did you kid do in Ping'an Prefecture, do you think you can hide it?"
"When did I want to hide it, didn't I just solve a wave of bandits and bandits, did I do something wrong?"
"Did you ride with a small group of steppe wolves lurking in later?"
"It's too exaggerated to say that the dry fight, these grassland aliens are unlucky by themselves, and they knelt down directly in front of me, I just picked up a bargain!"
"I don't understand, why are you so cheap to pick up?"
"It can only show that I have a good character and good luck, otherwise why did such a good thing not fall into the hands of others?"
"What's going on with the coal mine in the clouds, aren't you pouring salt on Uncle Zhongshun's wound?"
"I don't agree with this, Prince Zhongshun took the initiative to sell coal mines, I took the initiative to buy coal mines, but it's just a normal business, could it be that I still bought the wrong one?"
"It's not wrong to buy it, your kid knows it in his heart, but I heard that Uncle Zhongshun Wang is not in a good mood, you kid have to be careful!"
"Tsk, it looks like I have to write a book of "Stingy Prince"......"
"Come on, if you really offend Uncle Zhongshun completely, I'm afraid that Rongguo Mansion won't be able to bear it!"
"Joke, don't take it seriously!"
"Don't talk nonsense with you kid, what are your plans for the future?"
Seeing Si Ding's solemn expression, Jia Cong also put away his joke thoughts, and said leisurely: "I'm only eleven this year, what plans can I have?" ”
Si Ding reacted, looked up and down at Jia Cong, who seemed to be taller and stronger than before leaving Beijing, and sighed: "If you kid don't say it, who will treat you as an eleven-year-old boy?" ”
"I know it in my own heart!"
Shrugging his shoulders, Jia Cong said indifferently: "What can you do at such an age, it's better to study and practice martial arts honestly, and by the way, write a few books that are not so interesting!" ”
"Do you want to write?"
Si Ding was surprised: "You kid is so consumed, I don't know that there are many people who pay special attention to your kid now?" ”
"It's just pure, the Three Heroes and Five Righteousness and the Kaifeng Mansion Case, at most, it is to extend a little outward, such as the stories of the five rat descendants of the white-eyed heroes, there are a lot of folklore!"
Without waiting for Si Ding to speak, he smiled and said, "I'll always let the bookstore guys and the restaurant storyteller have something to eat!" ”
"If it's just a normal folk tale, just like the story of the Three Kingdoms, then it's not a problem!"
Si Ding became interested and said with a smile: "As for studying and practicing martial arts, do you want to enter the imperial examination like this?" ”
Rolling his eyes, Jia Cong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What's going on in Rongguo's mansion, you don't know, before Second Brother Bao comes out, I'd better keep a low profile!" ”
When Si Ding heard this, his face flashed with anger, but he quickly calmed down, shook his head and sighed: "Rongguo Mansion is also wonderful, if you don't cultivate such a promising child as you, and put your energy and hope on that Jia Baoyu, aren't you afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty?" ”
Jia Cong smiled silently, he was really difficult to accept as a disciple of Rongguo Mansion.
"Okay, since you kid knows it, I don't bother to bother!"
Si Ding was also helpless, and said with a smile: "When your kid's new book manuscript comes out, you have to give me a sneak peek!" ”
"No problem!"
Jia Cong readily agreed, didn't he just review it first, this time he really didn't play any tricks, and there would be no problems.
After meeting Si Ding, his life returned to its original trajectory.
Morning exercise every morning, and then take the little maid to the main hall for dinner, and then go to school with Huansan.
Ethnology is still the same, but it has been completely controlled by the younger brothers Jia Yun and Jia Fang, and they turned around and left, taking away a vote of self-motivated younger brothers.
When he arrived at the bookstore deliberately separated from the Huiyou bookstore, Jia Cong spent some time instructing his younger brother in his homework and assigning targeted homework by the way.
Then, he was busy with his own affairs, or read idle books or write new outlines, and waited until noon to go back to the general's mansion for dinner, or ate his younger brother Xue Pan, a big dog.
In the afternoon, I returned to the main hall of the General's Mansion in the evening to enjoy dinner, and after returning to the small courtyard where I lived, it was time for the evening exercise and listening to miscellaneous books.
Meditate deliberately for half an hour before going to bed, then clear your mind and fall asleep.
Day by day, the days were calm and uneventful.
Until......
On this day, Lian Er suddenly sent a little servant to invite him to dinner, and the location was in the small courtyard where he and Feng Lazi were. It's a more formal private banquet.
Jia Cong came to the door on time, and after greeting Feng Lazi and Ping'er, he came to Lian Er and said with a smile: "What is a good day today, Second Brother Lian actually has time to invite me, an idler, to dinner?" ”
It can be seen that whether it is Lian Er or Feng Lazi, or Ping'er who is waiting next to him, his face is full of joy.
Even their daughter, the eldest sister, was put on the couch and let her play, teasing her from time to time, and she was quite happy.
Jia Cong looked at the eldest sister carefully, she was very good-looking, and her body was quite strong, obviously Feng Lazi and Ping'er took good care of her.
While laughing with Chain Er, he made a grimace to tease the eldest sister, and even picked up the eldest sister who was only two or three years old in the somewhat surprised eyes of Feng Lazi and Chain Er, making the little girl giggle.
Obviously, adhering to the rules of the so-called wealthy family, the eldest sister had never enjoyed such fun before, clapping her hands and giggling from time to time, and the second couple did not stop it when they saw this, but had a little more sincerity on their faces.
"Haha, third brother doesn't know, brother, my latest appointment has come down!"
Chain Er looked a little hot, and after Jia Cong and the eldest sister played for a while, he couldn't wait to take the eldest sister's teasing, and by the way, he 'calmly' explained the reason.
"Oh, it seems that Second Brother Chain has been promoted to Shuntianfu Cheng at this time, which is really gratifying!"
Jia Cong reacted after being stunned for a moment, and smiled and congratulated.
The smile on Lianji's face was even worse, and he was obviously quite satisfied with the current situation.
"That is, a fourth-grade official, what kind of energy!"
Although Feng Lazi didn't care about it, her radiant smiling face showed that she was in a pretty good mood at this time.
Of course, Feng Lazi, who has always been strong, did not forget to stab a sentence or two at such times.
"It's far from my uncle!"
I didn't like to hear this, but fortunately, Chain Er was in a happy mood and ignored Feng Lazi's 'unintentional mistake'.
When the eldest sister was tired of playing, she asked Ping'er to settle it properly, and the banquet was also set up, and Lian Er invited Jia Cong to the table.
The dishes on the table are exquisite and delicious, all of them are famous delicacies of Rongguo Mansion, which are not worse than the level of well-known restaurants in Beijing, and even better than a few points.
As for the wine, Lian Er also knows Jia Cong's temper, and he doesn't know where to get a few bottles of excellent fruit wine, and the degree is not high.
Obviously, this table invited Jia Cong to the banquet alone, and Lian Er and Feng Lazi must have put a lot of thought into it.
Of course, Feng Lazi's enthusiastic attitude was a little more perfunctory, and he obviously didn't take Jia Cong, the brother-in-law, to heart.
Jia Cong doesn't care, he has a good relationship with Chain Er, it can be said that he has the posture of an alliance of interests, at least Chain Er will not have no brains to cross the river and tear down the bridge.
It's true, Lian Er's attitude has always been very enthusiastic, but he knows that Jia Cong, a cousin, is extraordinary, and he may have to ask someone for help in the future.
The banquet was enjoyed by the guests and hosts, and there was no bloody incident.
After the meal, when enjoying the refreshments, while Feng Lazi was away, Jia Cong asked curiously: "Second Brother Lian, you are promoted to the fourth rank of Shuntian Mansion, why is there nothing to say in the house, at least you have to invite a bar!" ”
In other words, the old lady is quite lively, and the banquet in the house has almost never been interrupted, with a small banquet for three days and a big banquet for five days, and the level of the chef in Rongguo Mansion is exercised under such circumstances.
The old lady also likes luxury, and whenever she has something good to do, she will sprinkle invitations all over the place, inviting the daughters of the Four Kings and Eight Princes family to come to the door, and by the way, the luxurious life of Rongguo Mansion will be revealed.
It is said that the promotion of the second chain to the Shuntian Mansion of the fourth grade is definitely a good thing for the Rongguo Mansion, at least it has to be a big feast to be lively.
But the strange thing is that Jia Cong hasn't heard much about this, which is inconsistent with the situation of the big sieve of Rongguo Mansion.
Ahem......
Obviously, Jia Cong's question stabbed into the lung tube of Chain Er, and this guy's originally smiling face showed a deep gloom, and he recovered helplessly in a blink of an eye: "The old lady said that I am young,, it's not a good thing to make too much, I think it's better to be low-key!" ”
As he spoke, Junxiu's face was filled with indignation, and he lowered his voice and said unhappily: "Aren't you afraid of hurting the second uncle's self-esteem......?"
