Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Return of the City

Looking at Jia Cong's figure leaving, Aunt Xue sighed, "This kid is really good, but it's a pity that he is a concubine." ”

Xue Baochai said angrily: "Mom, what are you talking about, I have already gone to the Internal Affairs Office to sign up, how can I have any other ideas?" ”

Aunt Xue smiled: "Good girl, I didn't think about anything else, I just looked at this child well, and sighed." ”

"Brother Cong is really good, he has his own family business at a young age, which is rare in a big family, and he really has some ability."

Aunt Xue didn't know much about Jia Cong, and after listening to her daughter's words, she couldn't help asking, "What you said is true?" Can this Rongguo Mansion allow it? ”

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "I have inquired clearly in the past two days, just because my aunt did not allow it, the power of the family was lost, and it fell into the hands of the big house, and now Brother Cheng Feng is in charge of the family, all because of Brother Cong." ”

Aunt Xue said suddenly: "No wonder that day at the old lady's place, your aunt borrowed Xiangling's matter to light a fire for Brother Cong in front of the old lady, it turns out that the two of them have a holiday?"

Even your aunt is not an opponent, this kid does have two hits, if your brother has this ability, there will be no need for our mother to worry about it, hey! It's really sad. ”

"Maybe in two years, my brother will be better if he is bigger."

······

In the imperial study of the palace, Emperor Longqing looked at the information on the imperial case and asked, "That kid is back again?" Do you know why you came back? ”

Dai Quan arched his hand and said: "Back to the master, that kid came back the day before yesterday, I heard that it was the Xue family who entered Beijing and brought him a girl, so Mrs. Shi asked people to call him back, but that kid looked for Qiu Liang yesterday." ”

Emperor Longqing said thoughtfully: "Is it for the day of the Lantern Festival?" If your people find out, who is going to deal with that kid? ”

"Back to the master, I found out, it was Li Rui, the second son of the Li family's firm, I heard that it was for the kid's soap formula, and the kid was looking for Qiu Liang, probably also wanting to know who was going to deal with him."

"The son of a trading house dares to trouble the Jia family? This business house has a good background, do you know who is behind them? ”

"Master, on the bright side, Li Zheng, the boss of the Li family, is in Yushitai, but there seems to be someone behind the Li family, but this person is more careful, and we haven't found out who it is until now."

Emperor Longqing lowered his head and looked at the information in his hand, turned a few pages, and when he saw one of the pages, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This little bastard really dared to say anything, even the emperor dared to arrange it, and even scolded the ministers over and over again, although everyone gritted their teeth with hatred, but no one dared to come out and accuse.

Whoever dares to stand up and accuse will put himself into the story and become the minister in the story, so no one stands up and pretends not to know, this phenomenon is similar to the emperor's new clothes!

Turned the page again, saw the waterwheel above and nodded, this kid is still a bit serious, the waterwheel has been around since ancient times, but it is not really used.

One is limited by conditions, and then a rich person doesn't care about that bit of output, and those who don't have money can't afford it, the reality is so helpless.

"Dai Quan, take care of those two boys in the past two days, don't let them make a big mess, although this kid is not big, but he is not a good stubble, think about when I was ten years old, I was still studying in the palace every day, and I was beaten by Mr. Board.

This kid is good, he doesn't study, he doesn't speak, he can do whatever he wants, it's just lawless, there are no taboos at all, and Jia Yu doesn't care about this old guy. ”

"Knowing the master, the old slave will arrange for someone to keep an eye on him when he turns around, and he won't let them make a big fuss."

······

In the afternoon, Jia Cong came to Lin Daiyu's room again, instructed her to practice for a while, and was relieved to see that she had completely mastered it.

"Sister Lin, you have mastered everything, as long as you insist on exercising every day in the future, your body will get better and better."

Lin Daiyu took the towel handed over by Zijuan, wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead, and said happily: "Thank you, Brother Cong, I will definitely exercise every day, I feel much more comfortable sweating." ”

The two of them chatted a few more words, and a group of friends all ran over.

Xichun ran over, took Jia Cong's arm and asked, "Third brother, I heard Sister Lin say that you are leaving again tomorrow?" ”

Jia Cong touched Xichun's little head and said with a smile: "Yes, fourth sister, I'm leaving tomorrow, the master found me a master, and I'm still waiting for me in Zhuangzi, maybe I'll be beaten if I go back late." ”

"Okay, third brother, you can tell us a few more stories today, otherwise I won't let you go."

"Okay, I'll talk a few more today until you're satisfied."

"Great."

The friends instantly cheered.

Jia Cong once again turned into the king of stories, and told fairy tales to his friends, until it was dark and the old lady came to urge him to eat, which was over.

had dinner at Jia's mother's place, played with everyone for a while, and told Jia's mother to go back to Zhuangzi tomorrow.

Jia Mudao didn't say anything, just let him practice martial arts well.

Leaving Jia's mother's place, I went to find Jia Yu again and asked about the progress of the matter.

"Master, how are things going?"

Jia Yu scolded with a smile: "You kid is still an anxious child, don't worry, Lao Tzu still can't do it?" It's done, but it's still a few days before the delivery, and they're going through a scrap process. ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "It's still the master's connections, this time I really thank the master, I don't know how many silver taels are needed in total, and how to trade when the time comes?" ”

Jia Yu said: "The war horse is thirty taels of silver, a total of one thousand eight hundred taels, and the bow and arrow and the crossbow are all twenty taels of silver, a total of two thousand four hundred taels, a total of four thousand two hundred taels of silver."

When the transaction is made, the money will be paid with one hand and the delivery will be delivered with the other, and the location may be outside the city, and I will ask your second brother to inform you at that time. ”

This time things are very smooth, just go back and prepare the silver and wait for the goods, with this batch of equipment you can train a cavalry, you can also train a group of archers, and you have a long-range strike ability.

Jia Cong stood up and saluted: "I know the master, then I will go back to Zhuangzi tomorrow, and I will wait for your news over there." ”

The next day, Jia Cong did not leave directly, but went to the human market, and after going around inside, he bought another batch of slaves and brought them out.

This time, five blacksmiths, three carpenters, and one kiln burner were bought, and more than a hundred were bought by twelve or thirteen-year-old children, mainly boys, and only a dozen girls.

When they returned, let them recuperate for a few days, and select those who were in good shape and strong willpower as soldiers, and the rest were assigned to blacksmiths, carpenters, and carpenters, as well as to work in the winery that was about to be built.
