The next day, I had breakfast.

Jia Cong took the carriage and came to Rongguo Mansion.

picked up Lin Daiyu and drove to the Lin Mansion in Dongcheng.

The eastern part of Shenjing City is almost all the residences of some officials and the residences of some wealthy merchants.

There is a saying in Shenjing City, "The east is rich and the west is expensive, the south is poor and the north is cheap." ”

Xicheng is the residence of some princes and nobles, including the Jia family, who also live in this part of Xicheng.

Nancheng is a slum area, and most ordinary people live in Nancheng, which is not comparable to the rich or expensive in the east and west cities.

Some people who are engaged in lowly industries live in the northern city.

The carriage arrived in front of the Lin family, this is a large courtyard with five entrances, the population of the Lin family is not large, and it is enough to live, so let people open the gate and drive in.

These subordinates in Yangzhou have all seen Jia Cong's ruthlessness, and no one dares to jump out anymore, and this is the future uncle of the Lin family, all of them are politely tight.

The housekeeper Lin Zhong got the news and ran out to welcome Jia Cong in.

When she came to the backyard, Lin Daiyu got out of the carriage with the support of Zijuan, Snow Goose, and Erya.

The two came to Lin Ruhai's room first and greeted him.

Subsequently, Daiyu went down to arrange accommodation, leaving Jia Cong and Lin Ruhai to talk.

"Father-in-law, this is the first time I came to the capital, the climate here is quite different from that in the south of the Yangtze River, but are you still used to it?"

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "There is nothing not used to it, I have also been in the capital before, compared to Jiangnan, the climate in the capital is colder and drier, just adapt to it for a few days." ”

Jia Cong said: "I brought a lot of mink skins this time, and some old ginseng, let's prepare more warm clothes to recuperate your body." ”

Lin Ruhai is still very satisfied with Jia Cong's attitude, and it is not in vain that he married his daughter to him.

Lin Ruhai said: "Well, I bothered you, but have you been to the Yamen?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Not yet, don't worry, even if I go, there won't be much to do." ”

Lin Ruhai said: "Let's go to the yamen to report first, this is a matter of attitude, even Your Majesty doesn't want to see your attitude." ”

Jia Cong nodded and said, "Well, I know, I'll go to the yamen when I go back in a while." ”

Lin Ruhai said: "It's still useful to read more books when you're fine, I moved the Lin family's collection of books this time, come and read more books when you're fine, and I can also guide you during this time when I'm recuperating at home."

You are still young now, it is not too late to study, besides, I have learned a little about you, with your achievements, it is estimated that it will be difficult to go to the battlefield again in the future, if you can abandon Rong Congwen, no one will be afraid of you anymore. ”

Although Lin Ruhai is a Tanhualang, it is difficult to avoid it, and now the literati have the idea of being noble and cheap.

In this era of imperial power, if the emperor wants to kill someone, it is a matter of one sentence, there is no bargaining chip in his hand, it can only be fish and meat on someone else's sticky board, and let others slaughter it.

Jia Cong doesn't want to be such a person, he wants to control life and death in his own hands.

No matter who wants their own life, they will not hand it over easily, and they will face their own crazy counterattack.

A great man of modern times once said, 'Out of the barrel of a gun comes out of power.' ’

This is not just a simple statement, thousands of years of history have verified the correctness of this sentence.

The Northern Song Dynasty court had the later shame of Jingkang because of the use of literature to control the military and suppress the warriors.

Jia Cong didn't want to rebel, he just wanted to live a good life and enjoy life, which was also his original intention to promote his title.

If the title is high, a lot of trouble can be avoided, and ordinary people dare not provoke it.

But that doesn't mean you'll be slaughtered by others.

It is estimated that it is impossible to abandon Rong Congwen, but it is okay to read more books.

Anyway, it's a good thing to read more books, and you can also come over to accompany Sister Lin more, and Tanhualang will teach you to read, which is a good thing that countless people can't ask for.

Jia Cong smiled: "That's it, then thank you father-in-law, but recently, you still focus on recuperating your body, and when your body is better, it's not too late to teach me to read." ”

Lin Ruhai is also very satisfied with Jia Cong's kindness.

"It's okay, you can find some books that interest you and read them for yourself."

The two said a few more words, and Jia Cong said goodbye and left.

left Lin Ruhai's room and came to Lin Daiyu's courtyard.

"Brother Cong, are you here?"

Jia Cong said: "Well, have you settled down?" ”

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Well, I've settled down, my father asked people to prepare a room for me in advance, just move in, and it will save a lot of trouble." ”

Jia Cong said: "In the past, at home, so many sisters played with you, and you were alone here, wouldn't it be boring?" ”

Lin Daiyu said: "Well, it's good to get used to it, I can read books when I'm fine, and I can pass the time, Brother Cong, you will come to see me often, right." ”

Jia Cong smiled: "Of course, if I can't see Sister Lin, I will miss you, and I will come to see you every day in the future, this is always okay, right?" ”

Lin Daiyu laughed and said: "It's about the same, Brother Cong, you come over every day, will it be too much of a delay?" If you're too busy, you don't have to come here every day, just come and see me once in a while. ”

Jia Cong said: "No matter how busy you are, you can't delay Sister Lin, no, I have already thought about it, and I will move to Dongcheng Terracotta Division to work in the future, and I will come over to accompany you when it arrives." ”

Lin Daiyu hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Cong, will it be bad to do this, and will it have an impact on your mission?" ”

Jia Cong said: "I have the final say in the Five Cities Terracotta Division, I can work wherever I want, and others have no right to interfere, as long as the errand is done well, it will not have an impact." ”

Lin Daiyu said: "Okay, it's good if you know it yourself, by the way, Brother Cong, I'll be ready here in a few days, let the sisters come to my house to play for a day, and I will also be the host." ”

Jia Cong smiled and said: "This is no problem, wrap it up on me, I will go to the old lady and say, I must meet your wishes, what you need, I can help you organize, I will pull a cart of ingredients over another day." ”

Lin Daiyu said: "That's not necessary, I'll just let the housekeeper arrange it, what is it if I have a treat and pull ingredients from you?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Do you still need to be so polite with me?" I have the ingredients there, besides, it's almost the moon, you don't have a place to get fresh vegetables, and every day or two in the future, I will ask people to send a cart of vegetables over. ”

Lin Daiyu thought for a while and said, "This is true, the vegetables we used to eat were all provided by you, so my sister is welcome." ”

Jia Cong remembered that Lin Ruhai let him study, and decided to talk to Lin Daiyu.

"Sister Lin, my father-in-law asked me to come to study more in the future, and he can also find time to guide me."

Lin Daiyu was a little surprised and asked, "My father wants to teach you to read?" Brother Cong, did you agree? ”

Jia Cong said: "Tanhualang taught me to read, how can I refuse?" I've already agreed, and it's a good thing to read more books, but let's wait until my father-in-law is better. ”

Lin Daiyu nodded and said, "That's right, my father didn't teach anyone?" Blessed are you. ”

I lost Lin Daiyu here for a morning, and I left after lunch.

Jia Cong came directly to the Dongcheng Terracotta Division and found Xiao Rongsheng, the commander of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division.

Xiao Rongsheng saw Jia Cong coming, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "Subordinate, meet the Admiral, do you have something to arrange for your lordship?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Get up, Commander Xiao, give me a place to run an errand, I have to run an errand in this Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division recently, let's be neighbors for a while." ”

Although Xiao Rongsheng had some doubts in his heart, he didn't know what this top boss wanted to do? But I happily agreed.

"Yes, Lord Admiral, in the future, my lord will work here, and I will move to another room."

This guy is just going to do something.

However, it's just a pretense to come by yourself, not really to come to work, just find a place, and there's no need to make a big fuss.

"No, just find me another room."

Seeing that Jia Cong didn't look like he was here, Xiao Rongsheng agreed.

He also knew that this boss rarely came to the yamen, and he didn't know what he wanted to do here?

It seems that in the recent past, it is necessary to make his subordinates more restrained, so as not to make this master mad.

sent Jia Cong away, quickly arranged people, cleaned up a hall, and changed all the office supplies.

"My lord, what is this master going to do?"

"How do I know, Lord Admiral said that he was going to work here, you all pay attention to me, if anyone upsets Lord Admiral, don't blame me for being unkind to him."

"Don't worry, my lord, we don't dare to mess with this master, if you provoke his head, I guess we have to move."

"Well, you know, it's good that you've been cheering me up for a while."

······

returned to Ning Guofu and learned about the business situation during this period with the housekeeper Zhang Fu.

I went to the outer study to take a look, and the shape of the renovated doors and windows was not too ideal.

Now we are faced with a problem, if it is like the doors and windows of later generations, the glass can be larger and easy to cut, but it has lost that antique charm.

If you retain that antique charm, the glass can't be very large, and it will be more troublesome to cut.

In the end, Jia Cong thought about it, and simply left it as it was, and inlaid a piece of glass from it, which was used as window paper.

In terms of transparency and warmth, it is countless times stronger than the window paper, which is also a big progress, which is also convenient for everyone to replace.

The idea must be to arrange those carpenters to measure the size of the doors and windows at home, and then go to the Zhuangzi to cut glass.

Strive to replace the doors and windows in the house with glass before the year, and be bright and cheerful yourself.

On the old lady of Rongfu, if you want, you can also help her replace it, so that the replacement does not need to be changed too much, and it is still very fast.

When I got back to the back house, I saw the orb waiting on the road ahead, and I didn't know what was going on there.

Seeing Jia Cong coming back, Baozhu happily greeted him.

"Master, our young lady invites you over."

Jia Cong nodded and followed her towards Qin Keqing's courtyard.

Seriously, I haven't seen him for so long, and I miss this little goblin a little bit.

Yesterday, there were a lot of people in the house, and the two of them didn't talk much, and they had to accompany Ping'er at night, after all, it was a woman who was rightful to her name.

Qin Keqing's identity is destined for two people to only be secretive, this can be regarded as cheating, right?

Well, a blatant thief.

"Orb, how long have you been waiting here?"

Baozhu smiled: "I was waiting here at almost noon, and when I saw that my lord didn't come back, after lunch, Miss asked me to come and wait." ”

Jia Cong said: "Well, this cold day is hard for you." ”

When he came to Qin Keqing's house, he saw a figure rushing into his arms, and Jia Cong hurriedly reached out to hug him.

"You're so strong, are you trying to knock me out?"

Qin Keqing grinned and said, "Uncle Cong, people miss you, people don't invite you, and you don't know how to come and see them." ”

Jia Cong smiled: "Didn't I just come back yesterday?" I went to see Sister Lin today, and I just entered the door, and I was caught by you, I haven't seen you these days, I miss you too, and I'm really not used to it without you. ”

When Qin Keqing heard this, he smiled sweetly: "After that, Uncle Cong will go out and bring people with him, and people will also want to follow Uncle Cong to see everywhere. ”

This is true, women in this era rarely go out to play, and even men, they don't go out to play much.

That is, those talented and beautiful people, who go out together, will not go far.

One is that the road is difficult to walk, and the other is that the road is not safe.

Then there are those dusty women, businessmen, and some people who run the rivers and lakes, running around for a living.

Women like the Jia family, who has gone out to play again? It's not that he stays in the back house every day, even Jia's mother doesn't have such treatment.

】

Qin Keqing is envious, but it is also human nature.

In fact, going out in this day and age is almost the same as being sinned.

In ancient times, there were no flat roads like those of later generations, all of them were muddy dirt roads, and horse-drawn carriages did not absorb shocks.

Jia Cong went to the south of the Yangtze River this time, and he also took a big boat all the way, which was not how hard it was.

Otherwise, these women really can't stand it.

Looking at Qin Keqing's yearning face, Jia Cong smiled and said, "Okay, when I have a chance next time, I will take you out to have a look, and when the time comes, you don't have to work too hard." ”

Qin Keqing said: "Being able to follow Uncle Cong will be more difficult, and people will admit it." ”

The two sat hand in hand on the bench, talked about their parting feelings for a while, and then went straight to the point.

Beauty is affectionate, how can you live up to it.

Hearing the magic sound in the house, Baozhu and Ruizhu looked at each other and smiled, and quickly got up and came to the gate of the courtyard.

One is that the voice is too torturous, too close to make it unbearable, and the other is to look at the two people in the room.

Although I also know that no one will come to catch the adulterer, and no one dares to catch the adulterer, but if you can not be discovered, it is better not to be discovered, after all, the identities of the two are there.

"Baozhu, do you say that our young lady has been so nameless and worthless for a lifetime?"

"What else do you want? It's good to be with the person you like, after all, our young lady is a nephew and daughter-in-law, so except for having no name, everything else is the same, and we should be content. ”

"It's also said that it is already a blessing to meet someone like Grandpa Guo."

After Ruizhu finished speaking, her eyes glanced uncontrollably in the direction of the bedroom.
