The next day, early in the morning.

Jia Cong opened his sleepy eyes, and what caught his eyes was a pair of big watery eyes.

The mandarin duck has woken up, and is looking at himself with a gentle face, his eyes are full of tenderness and sweetness.

Jia Cong smiled slightly and said, "Why did you wake up so early and don't sleep for a while?" ”

The mandarin duck smiled sweetly: "Well, I can't sleep when I wake up." ”

Jia Cong said: "But what's on your mind? If so, let me know, and with my current ability, I should be able to help you solve it. ”

The mandarin duck shook his head with a smile and said: "Ye is too careful, there is nothing wrong, I just remembered the bits and pieces of these years, I didn't feel sleepy for a while, and I was able to follow the master, that is my blessing, I like it so much in my heart." ”

Feeling the warmth and love of the mandarin duck, Jia Cong reached out and hugged her into his arms.

Looking at this lovely person in front of me, I can't help but think of the ending of the mandarin duck in the original "Dream of Red Mansions".

Mandarin Duck rejected Jia Yu's olive branch, and was also hated by Jia Yu, and said threatening words, cutting off all the retreats of Mandarin Duck.

With the old lady here, naturally no one could touch her.

If there is no old lady, the mandarin duck is an ordinary maidservant, and there is no longer an umbrella and no privileges.

Regarding this, the mandarin duck also sees it very clearly.

In the end, after the old lady died, he chose to follow her, and achieved her reputation for fierceness.

In this life, due to his appearance, he has changed too many things, and he has also changed the fate of many people.

Now, the mandarin duck has its own protection, completely got rid of the past fate, and will only live happily by his side in the future, and be happy for a lifetime.

Jia Cong kissed the mandarin duck's face and said: "It is also my blessing to be able to have you, I dare not say anything else, at least I will not be bullied with me, I will not worry about eating and drinking, I don't have to look at people's faces, I will be happy and happy for a lifetime." ”

The mandarin duck looked at Jia Cong and said stupidly: "Master, why are you so good to me?" I'm worried that this day is too short to be by my side forever. ”

Jia Cong smiled: "Naturally, I like you, I love you, don't worry, no one can separate us, we will love and love, and stay together happily for a lifetime." ”

The mandarin duck nodded with a satisfied face and said, "Well, I believe what the master said, and I admire the master's ability." ”

Jia Cong sat up and leaned against the head of the bed.

"Master, do you want to get up?"

Seeing this, the mandarin duck hurriedly got up and put on a dress for him, and he also put on his own clothes, and sat next to Jia Cong.

Jia Cong said: "Don't be in a hurry to get up, I'll give you something." ”

As he spoke, the detective took a delicate sandalwood box from the side and handed it to the mandarin duck.

The mandarin duck took it with a happy face and looked at it carefully.

This sandalwood box, exquisitely made, beautiful in appearance, around and on the lid, carved with flowers and birds, looks lifelike, full of fun.

"Master, this box is so exquisite, so beautiful, what's inside?"

Jia Cong smiled: "Just open it and take a look." ”

"Hmm."

The mandarin duck agreed and gently opened the sandalwood box.

I saw that there were three grids inside, one long and two short.

In a long grid there is a necklace of East Pearl, in a short grid there is a bracelet of East Pearl, and in the other short grid, there is a pair of gold sapphire earrings, a pair of East Pearl earrings, a pair of red jade drop bead earrings, and a pair of gold Yingluo pattern earrings.

The inside of the lid is inlaid with a bright mirror, and when I open it, I just shine on myself.

"Ah, is this a mirror? How can it be so clear? It's several times clearer than the copper mirror at home, master, is this what you call the glass mirror? ”

Jia Cong said: "Well, this is a glass mirror, but it is very difficult to manufacture and the success rate is very low, do you like it?" ”

The mandarin duck looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes, nose, ears, and even his eyebrows, all of which could be seen clearly, not at all, it was really delicate, too clear.

"Well, I like it very much, thank you."

Jia Cong said: "If you like it, this is a jewelry box, and there are two layers below, open it and take a look." ”

The mandarin duck opened the second layer, and there were four grids on this layer, and there were a pair of bracelets, a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets, a pair of red jade bracelets, a pair of green jade bracelets, and a pair of red gold eight treasure bracelets.

Open the third layer, on top are ten silver tickets of one thousand taels, a total of ten thousand taels, and below are two jade hairpins, and two golden hairpins.

The mandarin duck said happily: "Master, why do you give me so much jewelry, and why do you give me so many silver tickets, I can't spend money at home, and I don't lack anything at home." ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "The jewelry can be changed, and the silver can be kept for emergencies, these can be regarded as the dowry I prepared for you." ”

Mandarin duck said: "How can there be a reason to let the master pay the dowry?" ”

Jia Cong said: "You also know that there is no shortage of money at home, take it, I naturally can't lack you, in case I am not by your side, you have money in your hands, and you can live no matter where you are." ”

Hearing this, the mandarin duck was moved in his heart, and raised his hand to cover Jia Cong's mouth.

"Master, I don't allow you to say such things, I am my master's person in this life, if you are here, I will always serve you, if you are not there, I will go with you."

Mandarin duck's words made Jia Cong a little moved and moved, but she didn't expect this girl to be so affectionate.

If others say so, they may not be sure, Mandarin Duck said this, I really believe it, there is no regret to have such a deep woman with a lifetime.

Jia Cong reached out and grabbed the mandarin duck's shoulder and let her lean on his shoulder.

"Don't talk nonsense, the reason why I work so hard is to let you not be bullied, be happy, live happily, and live happily, if you follow me, I will protect you for the rest of your life.

Don't worry, with my ability, as long as I am careful, no one can touch me, and I will be fine. ”

Mandarin Duck nodded, Jia Cong's ability and ability, he knew it, and almost watched him grow up step by step.

From a penniless little concubine to today's Yipinning Guogong, it only took a few years, during which he experienced a series of things, all of which were easily solved.

Looking at the entire capital, the entire Great Chu, as far as young people are concerned, Jia Cong is definitely the leader among them, and he is an existence that others cannot surpass.

It is definitely my greatest blessing to be able to follow such a person in this life.

The key is that Jia Cong is very good to himself and loves himself very much.

It is said that it is easy to get priceless treasures, it is rare to have a lover, and it is worth it to have such a person for a lifetime.

Thinking of this, infinite love surged in my heart, and my gaze at Jia Cong was even more gentle.

"Well, I know the master, I will listen to the master, the master, it's not dawn yet, let's sleep for a while."

In the face of the beauty's invitation, how could Jia Cong refuse, this is also the wedding night of the two, so it is natural to satisfy the bride.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent······

······

On this day, Jia Cong was working in the yamen.

Lin Zhixiao came over and saw Jia Cong come forward and salute.

"The old slave greets the grandfather of the country."

Since the Lai family was killed by himself, for the sake of Lin Hongyu's face, under his own advice, Lin Zhixiao became the head of Rongguo Mansion and replaced the Lai family.

Under normal circumstances, there is no need for him to come forward to run errands, and he came here in person today, could it be that there is something wrong in the Rongguo Mansion?

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Steward Lin doesn't need to be polite, why are you free to come?" But what's the matter? ”

Lin Zhixiao said: "If you return to the country, the aunt of the Lin family is seriously ill, and she sent someone to send a letter to take Miss Lin back, the old lady and the eldest master, let the old slave come and invite the grandfather of the country to go back." ”

When Jia Cong heard this, he frowned, Lin Ruhai's incident still happened.

"Got it, I'll go back."

Originally, I planned to take Lin Daiyu back and let her go home to see her father, but now that Lin Ru is still seriously ill, it can't be delayed for a moment.

Lin Ruhai said that he was seriously ill, but in fact he was critically ill, and letting Lin Daiyu go back was actually to see him for the last time.

Lin Daiyu went back this time, her father was seriously ill, and her mood was naturally not too good, and there was no one at home to rely on.

It's just that now I'm on an errand, but I'm not very free, and I can't go wherever I want.

It is in line with the old saying: Freedom is not bad, and it is not comfortable to be on errands.

This time to accompany Lin Daiyu to Yangzhou, the time will definitely not be too short.

If Lin Ruhai's condition improves, it will take more than half a month to recuperate, and with the time on the way back and forth, it will take two months at the earliest.

If it is not cured, once it dies, it will take at least half a year to mourn and keep filial piety, and this set is over.

For such a long time, I have to go to the emperor to ask for leave.

I hope that I can cure Lin Ruhai's illness when I go to Yangzhou this time, so as not to let Lin Daiyu suffer the pain of losing her father again.

However, Jia Cong is not sure about this matter at all.

After all, what disease did Lin Ruhai have, and what was his physical condition? I don't know anything.

I can only wait until I arrive in Yangzhou, and after seeing Lin Ruhai, I will help him check his body and make a decision.

Jia Cong hurriedly returned to Rongguo Mansion and came to Jia's mother's courtyard.

I saw a lot of people sitting in the house, in addition to Jia's mother, Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, Jia Lian and Sister Feng, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai's mother and daughter.

There are also Li Kun and Sanchun sisters, Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun, Jia Baoyu, all who should come.

Lin Daiyu sat beside Jia's mother, her expression was a little sad, her eyes were red, and she had obviously cried.

A teenage girl, her mother is gone, her father is dying, and she is not around, where can she not be sad?

Although Jia Cong really wanted to step forward to comfort her now, in front of the elders, he couldn't be rude.

First greet Jia's mother, Jia Yu and others: "Say hello to the old lady, ask the old man, ask the wife to say goodbye······"

There are too many elders here, and when you get together, you have to ask for peace one by one, and if you can't invite one, people will say that you have a big shelf and look down on people, which is rudeness.

After giving everyone a salute, he came to Lin Daiyu's side.

took her hand and said: "Sister Lin, I already know about Uncle Lin, don't be too sad, how can people eat grains without getting sick, just treat the disease, Uncle Lin will be fine." ”

Lin Daiyu choked up and said, "Brother Cong, my father is seriously ill, but I, as a daughter, can't serve by my side, and I feel uncomfortable when I think about it." ”

Jia Cong comforted: "Okay, don't be sad, you can't be blamed for this, after all, it's too far away, and it's not even convenient to transmit messages, and Uncle Lin is not short of people to take care of him, so it's not bad for you."

Just go back this time and do your filial piety, I will go back with you, Uncle Lin will definitely get better, if you cry badly, who will take care of Uncle Lin at that time? ”

Lin Daiyu nodded and said, "Well, I know, Brother Cong." ”

Seeing that Daiyu listened to her words, Jia Cong turned around and asked, "Old lady, what is the specific situation?" I just listened to Steward Lin talk to me, and I didn't know the truth. ”

Mother Jia said: "Your Uncle Lin is seriously ill and wants to take Miss Lin back, if you have time, go together, your Uncle Lin also wants to see you, your Uncle Lin has agreed to the matter of the two of you."

This is the Epistle, see for yourself. ”

Jia Cong nodded, took the letter, and read it carefully.

The situation is the same as what Jia's mother said, Lin Ruhai has agreed to her marriage with Lin Daiyu, and wants to let herself go back with Daiyu to meet her future son-in-law.

This coincides with his own thoughts, and when he asks the emperor for leave, he has even more rhetoric.

I hope that I can save my father-in-law's life when I go to Yangzhou this time.

"Old lady, I planned it when I came, this time I will accompany Sister Lin to go back, and I will definitely cure Uncle Lin's illness, you can rest assured."

Jia Mu nodded and said: "We are afraid that you will not have time and delay the errand, so we arranged for your second brother Lian to accompany your sister back, I am more relieved to have you with me, but your errand, can you go away?" ”

Jia Yu also said: "This time to go to Yangzhou, it is estimated that the time will not be short, at least a few months, can you really walk away?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Old lady, master, now the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division has been sorted out by me, and gradually on the right track, I don't have much impact when I am not there, I will enter the palace in a while and ask Your Majesty for leave." ”

Jia Mu said: "Since you have decided, then so be it, let Lian'er accompany you, you are busy taking care of the sick, and the affairs outside also need to be taken care of, go hire a boat first, and set off as soon as possible." ”

With his own follow, he even let Jia Lian go, it seems that he knew that Lin Ruhai was about to die, and he was still fighting the idea of the Lin family's property.

Jia Cong has nothing to say about this, let's wait until the time comes.

The current Lin Daiyu is not the Lin Daiyu in the original book, she is still very confident to stand behind her, and if she wants her to suffer, it is estimated that she can't.

"You don't need to hire a boat, I've already prepared a boat, Sister Lin go back and get ready, bring your winter clothes, and I'll send a car to pick you up early tomorrow morning."
