Chapter 225 The Spring Night is Bitter and Short
Above the canal, among the boats.
Jia Cong and Jia Lian, two brothers, were toasting to each other.
Jia Lian raised his glass and said, "Brother Cong, the two of us brothers, the number of times we drink together alone is really not much, you used to be busy practicing martial arts, almost not at home, and when you went to Liaodong, you haven't seen each other for more than three years.
This time I'm back, and I'm busy with Uncle Jing's funeral, this thing and that thing continues, this time our brothers went to Yangzhou together, I finally have time, come, brother will toast you again."
Jia Cong picked up the wine glass, touched it with Jia Lian, and the two brothers drank it all.
Pick up the flask and fill it for both of you.
Jia Cong smiled and said, "If you really want to talk about it, there really isn't much to do, it's just a busy day and night, after this errand, I wanted to open one eye and close one eye, be less nosy, and live a comfortable life for a few days."
However, there is always trouble coming to the door, and I can't be clean and clean, so I have to force me to do it, and I have been on an errand for more than two months, and I have never been idle, and this time I went to Yangzhou as a vacation and a relaxation."
Jia Lian smiled and said: "Brother Cong, your brother really admires this means, now the Shenjing City is clean and tidy, with a new look, it is really much stronger than before, all the people in Shenjing City have benefited, and the travelers from outside have also praised it."
Jia Cong said: "Actually, these things are nothing, everyone knows that they used to be dirty and messy, but they are all used to it, they think it is a trivial matter, no one cares, I just force them to carry it out, and the people who really do things are the people below."
The two brothers chatted while drinking, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Jia Lian hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Cong, Uncle Lin's condition is very serious, it's hard to say whether he can get through it, this time the old lady and the second wife sent me to accompany Cousin Lin to Yangzhou, just to deal with the aftermath."
If Uncle Lin dies, let me dispose of the Lin family's property, and then bring it back to Jiafu, and keep it as Cousin Lin's dowry in the future, if we don't start, it will also be cheaper for the rest of the Lin family, Cousin Lin is a girl after all, and it is difficult to keep the family property.
The second lady may have other ideas, but now that she doesn't have much power at home, we don't nod our heads with the old lady, so she just thinks about it."
Jia Cong nodded and said, "It's similar to what I guessed, I came with me this time to save people, I didn't look at the Lin family's property, if it really comes to that point, at least I have to inform Sister Lin."
Jia Lian said: "This is natural, you can't go to Cousin Lin, don't worry, now the family is not short of money, and you won't be greedy for this money, when you get married, it will be regarded as Cousin Lin's dowry."
It's not a word, it's all planned first, and there's no one left.
However, Jia Cong is still very satisfied with Jia Lian's attitude.
······
Five or six days have passed in a blink of an eye, and because I am worried about Lin Ruhai's condition, I have been traveling almost day and night.
Calculating the distance, it is not far from Yangzhou, and it is estimated that it will be there in three or five days.
On the evening of that day, Jia Cong accompanied Lin Daiyu to have a conversation and returned to his room.
Just about to go to bed, Xichun and Shi Xiangyun ran in together.
"It's so late, why are you two running here when you two don't sleep?"
Shi Xiangyun said: "Third brother, it's just been dark for a short time, where can you sleep, you won't have to sleep now, right?"
Jia Cong glanced at her, a little girl, where does she know the beauty of sleeping.
There is nothing to do on the boat these days, except for accompanying Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun, and Xichun during the day, talking and chatting together, playing together, and either accompanying Mandarin Ducks or Qingwen every night.
The two of them are in the honeymoon period for the first time, their hearts are full of tenderness and sweetness, they are extremely in love with Jia Cong, they are obsessed with it, and they look forward to the night coming soon.
Jia Cong also had a rare leisure, relaxed his heart, and fell into the gentle township of the two.
This unprovoked interruption is naturally not too happy.
"Every day on the boat, and there is nothing to do, what are you doing without sleeping?"
Xichun smiled
Hee said, "Brother, we can't sleep so early, why don't you tell us a story, you haven't told us a story for a long time."
These two little girls originally wanted to hear the story, and I said how to come over at night and disturb people's dreams.
Now that they have run over, these two people will not stop until they reach their goal.
Otherwise, it will keep pestering you.
This time, Jia Cong learned the skills of the two of them.
Jia Cong said helplessly: "Okay, then let's talk about one, and go to sleep after listening, but you are not allowed to cheat."
The two of them nodded their little heads and said, "Well, well, we'll go to bed after listening to the story."
Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "Why don't you tell a story about the White Lady, it's "The Legend of the White Snake", you should have seen this play, what I tell is not the same as what is sung in the play, do you want to hear it?"
Xichun said, "Brother, the stories you tell are very good, we will listen to whatever you say?"
Shi Xiangyun nodded and said, "The story told by the third brother must be better than the one sung on the stage, hurry up and tell us about it?"
Xiangling, Da Yu'er and others, when they heard that they were going to tell a story, they all came over.
Jia Cong reviewed the plot of "The Legend of the White Snake", organized his words a little, cleared his throat, and began to speak.
"Say, a thousand years ago.
There was a little white snake that was caught by a hunter while playing in the mountains, and he had to take it home to make snake soup.
On the way, he met a little shepherd boy who was herding cattle, and when he saw the little white snake with tears in his eyes, he was very pitiful, so he bought it from the hunter, and let it go······
A thousand years later, the white snake cultivated into a human form and came to repay the favor under the pseudonym Bai Suzhen······
Bai Suzhen married Xu Xian, and the two lived a happy life······
Fahai took the White Lady away and pressed her under the Leifeng Pagoda in the West Lake······
A group of little girls listened to it like a drunken person, and they didn't have an aftertaste for a long time.
As one of the four major Chinese folk tales, "The Legend of the White Snake" can be passed down for hundreds of years, so you know how popular this story is.
Coupled with Jia Cong, with a little polish and changes, the storyline is even more fascinating and makes people want to stop.
"Third brother, that Fahai is too bad, he actually pressed the White Lady to the bottom of Leifeng Tower, it's really angry to me."
Shi Xiangyun glared and shouted angrily.
Xichun also nodded and said, "Well, why is that Fahai so bad? separated the White Lady and Xu Xian alive, and that Xu Xian is too wretched, too useless, right?"
Qingwen said, "I can't even protect my own lady, that Xu Xian is a waste."
Xiangling said, "The White Lady is really affectionate and righteous, why did God separate them? Grandpa Guo, I will never leave you in my life, I will serve you for the rest of my life."
The attacker laughed and said, "Xiangling, do you think you are a white lady? I'll see if you have a tail, if you're a snake spirit?"
Xiangling said innocently, "How can I have a tail? I'm not a snake spirit."
When everyone heard this, they all giggled.
Looking at this cute little maid, Jia Cong pulled her to her side, touched her head, and said dotingly:
"Don't worry, Xiangling, as long as you don't want to leave, no one can force you, if you really find your parents, wouldn't it be good to be a relative? You can also have one more pair of parents who love you."
Xiangling said, "Well, then I listen to Grandpa Guo, I'm afraid that I will find my parents, what if they don't let me leave?" I don't want to leave Grandpa Guo."
The mandarin duck quipped: "Xiangling, that's your parents, not the Fahai of Jinshan Temple, they won't crush you under the Leifeng Pagoda."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Even if I really overwhelm you under the Leifeng Tower, I will dismantle the Leifeng Tower and rescue you."
Xiangling grinned and said, "I believe that Grandpa Guo's words will definitely be done."
Shi Xiangyun pulled
Raja Cong's arm said with a serious face: "Third brother, why don't we go and dismantle the Leifeng Pagoda and rescue the white lady who is pressed underneath, do you say it's okay?"
When Xichun heard this, he blinked his eyes and looked at his brother expectantly.
That means saying, my brother is going to say yes.
Jia Cong's face was speechless, these two people were still intoxicated with the story and had not fully woken up.
Flicked his finger on Shi Xiangyun's forehead, and said with a smile: "Yun girl, it's time to wake up, you haven't slept yet, and you start talking in your dreams?" That's just a story, and it's not true, even if the Leifeng Pagoda is demolished, there will be no White Lady below."
Shi Xiangyun rubbed his forehead and chuckled, "Third brother, what if there is really a white lady down there? Aren't we picking up a white lady for nothing?"
Xichun was also on the side, giggling.
Jia Cong rolled his eyes and said a little speechlessly: "Okay, little ancestor, go to sleep, in your sleep you will become the Monkey King, go to Jinshan Temple to clean up Fahai, and then go to the West Lake to demolish the Leifeng Pagoda, and then rescue the White Lady."
"Alright then, let's go to bed."
The two little girls, giggling, walked away holding hands.
From afar, I heard Xichun asking, "Sister Yun, are you really going to demolish the Leifeng Pagoda in your sleep?" Do you want me to help you? When the time comes, I'm going to beat Xu Xian up and get angry."
When Jia Cong heard this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, this young man's happiness was really incomprehensible.
Seeing the two leave, Jia Cong retracted his gaze.
After telling "The Legend of the White Snake", I joked and laughed for a while, and before I knew it, more than half an hour had passed.
This spring night is short, so let's go to bed early.
Jia Cong waved his hand, "Go to bed."
One by one, he hugged Mandarin Duck and Qingwen and walked to the bed.
Seeing this, the others all dispersed in a hurry and went to the outer room.
The attacker glanced at the three of them, sighed in his heart, and went to the outer room silently.
At the beginning, I, Ping'er, and Mandarin Duck decided to follow Jia Cong together, Ping'er had already rounded up and became a serious aunt, and a few days ago Mandarin Duck also had a round-house, so I was left alone.
Even Qingwen ran in front of her, she was so useless, it seemed that she was going to take the initiative.
I have already followed Jia Cong, and the round house is also a matter of time, but I am lagging behind, and I always feel inferior to others.
Don't steam steamed buns, fight for breath.
You can't leave people behind too much.
Originally, Ping'er was in charge of the power of Ning Guofu, and he had already taken the lead, and the mandarin duck who came with him was also in charge of everything in Jia Cong's courtyard, and also managed Jia Cong's private treasury.
Compared with these two people, she is a big girl, and this status is not a little bit worse.
Although I also understand that in terms of management ability, I am indeed inferior to these two people, and my temperament is softer than theirs, but I am still not very comfortable in my heart.
Fortunately, Jia Cong is also very good to herself, and the treatment is not worse than them, so she can be regarded as treating them equally.
When he followed Baoyu, although he was also a big girl, he was in charge of everything in his house, but in terms of treatment, he really couldn't compare to here, the difference was too big.
The treatment of several of his own people is not worse than that of several young ladies in Xifu, and the food is even better than them.
The people around Jia Cong all ate with him, which was naturally much better than in Xifu.
The attacker lay on the bed, quietly thinking about his thoughts.
There was a moaning sound in my ears, and it was getting louder and louder, and even if I covered my ears, I drilled into it vigorously.
The attacker is already a big girl, she knows what is going on, and when she hears this magic sound, her heart is like a cat scratching.
I couldn't help but secretly spit in my heart, "Phew, these three people are too unethical, and they don't know how to make a little movement, it's really disturbing people's dreams."
He pulled the quilt over his head, trying to isolate the magic sound.
But the more I didn't want to listen, the more it drilled into my ears, and the people who listened to it were red-faced, and their heartbeats intensified, and they couldn't help but think about it for a while.
I don't know what's going on today, I can't suppress this evil fire.
The attacker glanced at the back room, saw Xiangling next to him, and also covered himself with a quilt, and couldn't help but make a decision that even he felt bold.
She crept out of the bed and came under the bed.
I walked to the door of the back room, listened attentively, and then pushed open the door and walked in······.
······
At the moment when the attacker pushed open the door, a small head appeared in the quilt behind him, staring at the big curious eyes, watching the attacker enter the inner room, and then the door was closed again.
Xiangling blinked, attacking people to go in at this time, the meaning is self-evident, it is estimated that he wants to climb into the bed of Grandpa Guo.
The attacking sister is really bold, and she really can't do it by herself, and she is ashamed to death.
Although Xiangling is a little silly, she is not stupid at all, and she knows what is going on inside.
I also once warmed the quilt for Grandpa Guo, and I also slept with Grandpa Guo, but Grandpa Guo just hugged himself to sleep and didn't do anything to himself.
Since following Grandpa Guo, Grandpa Guo has been very good to himself and pampered himself very much, and he is no different from several girls in Xifu.
I was also secretly glad that I met such a good master as Grandpa Guo.
once secretly vowed to stay by Grandpa Guo's side for the rest of his life, serve him, take care of him, and never leave him for the rest of his life.
As I grew older, I found that I already liked Grandpa Shangguo.
Seeing the attacker walk into the back room, although his eyes were a little hot, he didn't make any moves.
Xiangling lay back on the bed and smiled, as long as she could stay by Grandpa Guo's side, the rest of her self was not forced, I believe that Grandpa Guo would give him an explanation.
