The prince hurried and hurried, and finally arrived in Liaoyang, the capital of eastern Liao, on the afternoon of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

The mansion of the Jiedu envoy has been sorted out in advance by the officials of Liaoyang, and after the prince came, he moved in directly.

There is no shortage of materials, and even the New Year's goods are ready, which is the advantage of being an official.

Wang Ziteng summoned his subordinate officers on the same day and made some understanding of the current situation in Liaodong and the situation in the army.

Although this prince Teng has never fought a war, when he was the envoy of the Jingying Festival, he still read a few military books and knew the importance of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent.

If you don't even know what your own army is, how can you win a war?

After a general understanding of the matter, let them go back, after all, the New Year is too impersonal and annoying.

Let the entourage prepare for the New Year, go into the study alone, look at the information on the table, and make a general assessment of the combat strength of the Liaodong army in combination with what he has learned.

Judging from the data, these Liaodong troops are stronger than their own Jingying people, after all, is this a border army?

Wang Ziteng is quite satisfied with this, with these troops in hand, he can make contributions in the next big war.

It's just a little regrettable that there is a lack of understanding of the situation on the barbarians' side.

However, thinking of Jia Cong's three or four times of great achievement, he killed two Baylors, and even the barbarian Great Khan, and the most elite troops under him, Bayala.

If the barbarian army was too powerful, how could Jia Cong do it?

Wang Ziteng didn't believe that Jia Cong's team would be more powerful than others, and if it was estimated like this, the barbarian army was not too strong.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile on his face, and Wang Ziteng was full of confidence in the next big battle.

How many people are there under Jia Cong? can make such a great contribution.

The people and horses in charge of him are dozens or hundreds of times that of Jia Cong, and he has so many people and horses, is it not as good as Jia Cong's two thousand people?

Wang Ziteng didn't believe that with his own ability and such a big advantage, he would not even be able to compare with a twelve-year-old child.

When the time comes, defeat the barbarians and worship the prime minister, just around the corner.

Let's celebrate the New Year first, and after the New Year, we will invite some major generals to Liaoyang to discuss the next military strategy, and by the way, get to know the generals, and also give the generals a chance to meet the commanders.

Wang Ziteng stood up, walked out of the study with confidence, and returned to the backyard of the Jiedu Embassy's Mansion.

Then, he ordered everyone to set up a feast and celebrate the New Year.

······

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jia's mother came back from the palace to accept New Year's greetings from the descendants of the Jia family.

Jia Yu and Jia Zheng led Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu and other men of the Jia family, and after saluting Jia's mother, they withdrew together.

Later, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, with Wang Xifeng, Li Kun, Yingchun, Tanchun, Lin Daiyu, Xichun and other female scrolls, also came to pay New Year's greetings to Jia's mother.

After the salute, sit together and talk.

Mother Jia saw Lin Daiyu, cherishing spring, exploring spring and welcoming spring, wearing the same pure white fox fur coat, and her appearance was even more outstanding.

waved at them, called to them, looked at that, touched this, and said with a smile: "It's good, Brother Cong is very interested in your sisters, and people are still thinking about you in Liaodong." ”

Xichun said: "Old lady, this is what my brother sent to us a few years ago, and Sister Ping'er asked her to send it to us." ”

Jia Mu smiled: "I can see that your sisters and brothers are harmonious, and I am relieved." ”

At this time, Aunt Xue led Xue Baochai in and stepped forward to salute Jia's mother.

"It's a New Year's greeting to the old lady, I wish the old lady a good luck and a good luck, and all her wishes come true."

Mother Jia smiled and said, "Mrs. Aunt is here, how did you have a good year?" Come and sit, Bao Yatou is also here, she looks better in this dress. ”

"Okay, all right."

Aunt Xue came to Jia Mu and sat down, and touched the bear skin on the kang, it was so warm.

Seeing this, Jia Mu smiled and said: "This bear skin was sent back by Brother Cong, and I heard that he hunted it himself." ”

Aunt Xue smiled: "This bear skin is so good, it's so warm, Brother Cong, this kid is really good, fighting outside, thinking about the old lady, thinking about these sisters, it's really heartfelt, I don't know how he is doing in Liaodong?" ”

Jia Mu said: "Brother Cong, this child, has liked to toss since he was a child, but he is still very reliable in doing things, so he doesn't need to worry about him suffering losses outside, and he will burn high incense if he doesn't toss others." ”

Aunt Xue smiled: "What the old lady said is that that is also Brother Cong'er's ability, I like this child." ”

Wang Xifeng came in from Baochai, and when she saw the fox fur coat she was wearing, she understood in her heart that this must have been given by her brother-in-law.

These sisters have it, even the baby girl has it, but my sister-in-law doesn't have it, and I can't help but feel a pantothenic acid in my heart.

Hmph, this stinky boy doesn't even know about his intimacy, and he has to settle accounts with him when he comes back.

Wang Xifeng said with a sour face: "Hey, ancestor, Brother Cong is really your own grandson, why is he so partial, your ancestor has mink and bear skin, these sisters even wear fox skin, and I don't have any skin for your granddaughter-in-law." ”

Seeing her funny appearance, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Jia Mu laughed and said: "Okay, you are a phoenix girl, and you dare to say that I am biased, am I not good to you, I won't give it to you, and I will kill you with greed." ”

"Ouch, why is it so lively today?"

As soon as the words fell, You Shi, Qin Keqing, Ping'er, Mandarin Duck, and the four of them walked in.

"Old lady, we are also here to greet you for the New Year, I wish you good health and youth."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you're all here." ”

Wang Xifeng saw the fox fur coat of the same color of the four people, and his heart was really sour.

"Oh, no, no, no, but it soured me, all of them are wearing fur coats, but I don't, it's so partial, when Brother Cong comes back, if you don't get me two fur coats, see if I can spare him."

As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter.

You Shi scolded with a smile: "Look at your behavior, I don't know where you think you ran out to ask for food, you are a wife in charge, and there are random leaks in the cracks of your fingers, why don't you buy ten or eight mink skins to wear, and you are still here to envy us poor people." ”

"Phew, if you are poor, there will be no poor people in the world, I said Ping'er, Brother Cong doesn't want to think about me, why don't you think about me, I really hurt you in vain before."

Ping'er smiled: "Grandma, is this still missing?" Hou Ye wrote to say that he had been busy fighting on the grassland last year, and he had no time to prepare, and the number was a little less, so he would prepare more this year, and you would naturally be indispensable when the time came. ”

Wang Xifeng said: "Ping'er, this is what you said, if there is no more mine this year, I will spare you." ”

You Shi smiled: "Look at you, Ping'er is now a member of our family, and we won't let you if you want to bully her." ”

Jia Mule looked at a few people, arguing and laughing there, she liked this kind of lively and lively scene.

Mrs. Wang opened her mouth and said, "Feng girl, your second uncle has gone to Liaodong to be an envoy, wait for me to send him a batch back when I send a letter." ”

Wang Xifeng said: "Brother Cong, isn't he on an errand under the second uncle?" ”

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Your second uncle is the envoy of Liaodong, and the army of Liaodong is under his control." ”

Wang Xifeng looked at this aunt's smile and secretly prayed in her heart, hoping that she would not play right and wrong in front of her second uncle, otherwise something would really happen.

The mother also frowned when she heard this, he already knew about this matter, and he didn't care too much, he believed that Wang Ziteng knew the severity.

It's just that this second daughter-in-law seems to have something to say, I hope this woman won't have brain cramps and stir up trouble in it.

"Second daughter-in-law, don't mess around, if the general is not in harmony, but something big will happen, you have also seen Brother Cong'er's temperament, if you really want to make trouble, it is not necessarily Brother Cong who suffers, you can think clearly.

Small kiosk

Wang Ziteng is the pillar of the Wang family, if something happens to him, the Wang family will be finished, Brother Cong is the hope of the rise of the Jia family, if he has an accident, the hope of the Jia family will be gone, if they make trouble, it will be a disaster for the Jia and Wang families. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at Mrs. Wang together, and the meaning was self-evident.

This time, Mrs. Wang really didn't think about anything else, she just wanted to show off, but the result was misunderstood, not to mention how annoyed she was.

Besides, in this kind of big event, Wang Ziteng will not listen to her.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, as if he was the bad guy, he was tired of it.

"Old lady, you think too much, I really don't mean anything else, just say it casually, I still know the severity of it."

Jia Mu looked at her deeply, nodded and said, "That's good, that's good." ”

The mandarin duck came to Jia's mother and said with a smile: "Old lady, Master Hou is a person who understands the general situation, and he will not make trouble with Uncle Wang, so you can put your heart in your stomach."

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and we are here to ask you for a reward, so can you take this opportunity to give us the reward money? ”

Mother Jia laughed when she heard this: "Amber, go and move the reward money out, don't let people think that we are stingy." ”

The awkward atmosphere was swept away, and a group of women began to talk and laugh around Jia Mu again.

There are mandarin ducks and Wang Xifeng gags inside, enlivening the atmosphere, and for a while the room was full of laughter and joy.

A group of little sisters even got together and giggled and played.

······

Jia Cong was awakened by the sound of firecrackers, and the beauty in his arms was long gone.

got up and got dressed, and when I came to the outside room, I saw Han Nianci standing at the door and looking out.

Jia Cong stepped forward and took a look out, and saw Qingwen and Chunxiaqiudong were setting off fireworks in the yard.

There are a lot of people in this courtyard, in addition to Qingwen and them, there are also Han Nianci's six maids and subordinates, and the second girl and their team have also come over, but it is very lively.

Seeing Jia Cong coming to his side, Han Nianci smiled and said, "Master Hou was quarreled with by them?" ”

Jia Cong said: "I woke up when I heard the sound of firecrackers, and the day is almost dawn, and it's time to get up." ”

I usually get up around this time, and I have always insisted on getting up early every day to practice.

Qingwen heard Jia Cong's voice, ran over and said with a smile: "I knew that Hou Ye would get up as soon as he heard the sound of firecrackers, come out and set off fireworks and firecrackers with us." ”

Jia Cong was pulled into the courtyard by Qingwen, and when everyone saw it, they hurriedly came over to salute.

"Master Hou!"

"Master Hou!"

Jia Cong smiled and waved his hand and said: "Today's New Year, don't be restrained, you can play how you want, you can be crazy as you want, just like Qingwen is the best, everyone has a lively New Year." ”

"Yes, Master Hou!"

They are all fun-loving and noisy years, and soon everyone will let go, and for a while the yard is full of laughter, firecrackers, and frolic, intertwined to form a cheerful melody.

This happy time always passes quickly, and after a while, the day dawns.

Everyone returned to the house and finished washing, and the dumplings had already been prepared in front of them and sent someone to deliver them.

The family gathered around to eat dumplings, accepted everyone's New Year's greetings, and sprinkled a lot of reward money.

Jia Cong was just about to go out to pay New Year's greetings to He Shiyuan, Ma Youcai, Zhang Xiaowu, Lin Feng and others came to pay New Year's greetings to him.

Then this one came and that one, and when it was almost noon, there were fewer talents.

When I arrived at the General Soldier's Mansion, those senior generals were already there, so I saved myself from coming to the door again.

"New Year's greetings to the general soldiers, New Year's greetings to the generals, I wish you great merits, great wealth, promotion, and marquis."

Adjutant General Yang Shixuan said with a smile: "I have inherited the good words of the Hou Ye, it is really going to be fulfilled, I will definitely entertain the Hou Ye, and I will also pay New Year's greetings to the Hou Ye here." ”

He Shiyuan laughed and said, "Why did you kid come, it can't be that you overslept, right?" ”

Jia Cong said: "I wanted to come over a long time ago, but I was blocked back just when I was about to go out." ”

Yang Shixuan said: "Today, at noon, we gathered together and talked about some things by the way. ”

"No problem, everything is up to the generals."

Quang Ninh belongs to a military town, and these generals are the top leaders of Quang Ninh, and now they are counted as one.

This dinner, one is to get together to contact and connect feelings, and the important point is the distribution of interests in the Quang Ninh market.

Although Jia Cong is not short of money, but the benefits given for nothing, don't be a fool, if you don't want it, you won't be able to integrate into this circle, this is the so-called collusion.

If you take the benefits, you will be your own people in the future.

After everyone finished eating, they chatted with each other a few more words, and then left happily.

He Shiyuan left Jia Cong, and the two went to the study together.

He Shiyuan smiled: "You kid is very slippery, it seems that he is very familiar with this set." ”

Jia Cong said: "Is it the same dust with the light, if you want to get along with everyone, then you must integrate into it, there is Uncle Shi here to cover me, but it has saved me countless troubles, and I have gained a lot of benefits in vain, and the little nephew is here Thank you Uncle Shi." ”

He Shiyuan nodded and said: "This is indeed the truth, you kid really doesn't look like a person of such an age, there is news from Liaoyang, Wang Ziteng arrived in Liaoyang yesterday afternoon."

Let's go to Liaoyang after the third year of junior high school to report on the situation in the army, and let you go over together, and then the two of us will set off together. ”

Jia Cong nodded, it was said that it was not his turn to go, let him go, and he didn't know what to do?
