"Drive, drive."

On the avenue of Shenjing City, a messenger was galloping on horseback.

While running, he shouted: "Eight hundred miles expedited, eight hundred miles expedited, Shaanxi victory."

The crowd that heard the sound in the street flashed to the side, gave way to the middle avenue, and watched the messenger gallop by.

"Brother, what did the messenger shout? Shaanxi's victory, is it true?"

"You heard it right, I heard it too, it is indeed a great victory in Shaanxi."

"Ning Guogong went out, it was really extraordinary, it was less than a month after the expedition, and he actually won the battle, which is much stronger than those generals before."

"When Ning Guogong was in Liaodong, he won a hundred battles and never lost a record, where can ordinary generals compare."

"That's right, as soon as Ning Guogong came out, he was victorious, and he got off to a good start, and the suppression of the rebellion was just around the corner."

"Tell me that it is long overdue to send Ning Guogong out, send those wastes out, not to mention the loss of soldiers, and waste the country's money and food, I don't know if those officials and masters in the court have shit in their heads?"

"Shut up, you kid, it's really open-mouthed, be careful with the old man who embroiders the clothes and guards and invite you to tea."

······

The news of Shaanxi's great victory spread ten, ten and hundred, and quickly spread throughout Shengjing City.

Emperor Longqing sat in the imperial study, looking at the good news in his hand, his face showed ecstasy.

After a quick flip through it, I couldn't help but look up and laugh.

"Hahahaha, good, good, worthy of my victorious general, I really didn't disappoint me, as soon as I crossed the Yellow River, I wiped out the enemy's 30,000 vanguard army, and then annihilated the rebels' main force in the north in one fell swoop, which is really happy."

It's no wonder that Emperor Longqing is so out of shape, he has been very depressed in the past few years.

Let's not talk about those troubles in the court, let's just say that Liaodong side, first lost Shenyang, and then was trapped in Liaoyang, and the 200,000 army was blocked in the city by the barbarians, and there was no work for a few years.

Then it encountered a major drought for many years, the disaster situation in Shaanxi was serious, and the officials below were not effective in disaster relief, so that Shaanxi was full of famine, bandits everywhere, and several times the bandits were powerless, and the court suffered heavy losses.

It wasn't until Jia Cong was dispatched that good news came.

Good guy, as soon as he entered Shaanxi, he wiped out nearly forty percent of the rebels at once, this is a real victory, and it is very happy!

"Your Majesty, this is really a great joy, Ning Guogong's great victory this time has saved the prestige of the imperial court in one fell swoop, and it has firmly contained the main force of the traitors in Shaanxi, and the crisis in the Central Plains is gone, which is really gratifying."

Hu Yong, the first assistant of the cabinet, also said excitedly.

Although he had some dirty feelings with Jia Cong a few days ago, he didn't give face to Jia Cong, and he exposed the old bottom of the cabinet, and he was a little unhappy, but Jia Cong was able to exterminate the rebels and recover Shaanxi, and he was still happy to see it.

Just like Jia Cong said, Shaanxi has reached this point today, and their cabinet really has an unshirkable responsibility.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

After reading the battle report, everyone felt a little incredible, it felt like reading a storybook, if all this was true, then this Jia Cong was really like a god.

Second assistant Yang Huai said, "Your Majesty, this feels a little too unbelievable, is Ning Guogong suspected of exaggeration?"

Dai Quan glanced at Yang Huai without a trace, and said secretly in his heart, this old boy, this is saying that Ning Guogong lied about the military situation and falsely reported his military exploits, which is really insidious.

It seems that I want to mention it to Ning Guogong and let him be careful of this old boy.

Emperor Longqing said with a smile: "Yang Aiqing is too careful, this battle report is true, there is no water, Li Aiqing's battle report has also been sent, the content is almost identical, you won't even suspect Li Aiqing, right?" Besides, the head of Li Chuang, the second leader of the rebels, was also sent over, which cannot be faked."

When Yang Huai heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The minister naturally trusts Lord Li and Ning Guogong, but when I first heard the news, I was really shocked in my heart, and I felt too incredible, Ning Guogong is really a person who creates miracles."

Song Yan said: "Ning Guogong has had a flexible brain since he was a child, is good at studying, and his whimsical ideas are endless, and he has come up with a lot of useful things for the empire. In addition to his talent for fighting, he is also outstanding in business, and he is really a role model for the younger generation."

Emperor Longqing smiled and nodded, Jia Cong, this kid, is really giving himself a long face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in order to boost the morale of the soldiers in front of you and better eliminate the rebels, this matter of rewarding meritorious deeds cannot be delayed, what objections do you have to Aiqing?"

Hu Yong said: "Your Majesty, the minister has no objection, everything is done according to the rules."

Yang Huai said: "Your Majesty, others can do things according to the rules, Ning Guogong's merits are best pressed first, as a commander, the task has not been completed, wait until the traitors are completely exterminated, and then the reward will be awarded."

Dongge University scholar Liu Jin said, "Your Majesty, Lord Yang's words are reasonable, Ning Guogong is now a Guogong, can't he still be crowned king?" Besides, this little credit is not enough to be crowned king."

When Emperor Longqing heard this, his eyes rolled, and he also had his own thoughts in his heart.

"Okay, let's do as you say, first reward the soldiers on the front line, as for Ning Guogong, when he returns triumphantly, I will reward him again. Your cabinet and military department must implement this matter as soon as possible, and don't let the soldiers on the front line chill their hearts."

"Your Majesty, your ministers obey the order."

······

Rongguo Mansion, in Jia's mother's house.

As in the past, the warblers and swallows were lively and full of laughter.

It has been nearly a month since Jia Cong led the troops to the expedition, and the panic and sorrow of the people in the back house have slowly disappeared with the passage of time.

The longing of Daiyu, Baochai and others is increasing day by day.

Mother Jia was afraid that they would miss Jia Cong too much, so she called them over every day and joked with her to pass those difficult times.

Lin Daiyu didn't have much to do except get up early every day to practice martial arts, and there weren't many big things at home for her to worry about. Other trivial matters were shared by Ping'er, Zijuan, Xiaohong and others.

Although Xue Baochai is in charge of the business in the house, there is not much that needs to be done personally, and the grain team she is responsible for preparing also started a few days ago, and Jia Cong has arranged other things properly, and she only needs to supervise one or two.

Therefore, it is convenient for Lin Daiyu and the sisters to come to Jia's mother's room every day to accompany her to laugh and relieve her boredom.

Mother Jia sat on the soft couch, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Xue sat on the side chatting with Mother Jia, Li Kun stood on the side and waited, but Wang Xifeng sat on the side and watched the excitement.

Xue Baochai, Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun, Xue Baoqin, Xing Xiuyan, Li Wen sisters, and the three sisters of Yingchun are all here, and the girls of Jiafu can be said to be gathered together.

Wang Xifeng came to Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai's side and asked quietly, "Sister Lin, Sister Xue, where is Brother Cong now, can I send you a letter?"

Lin Daiyu shook her head and said, "I don't know, I should have reached the boundary of Shaanxi in the day, but there is no letter, sister-in-law Feng, why do you care so much about your brother?" see

He seems to care more than we do."

Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes, and said secretly in his heart: "I don't just care about your man, I still miss your man, and I still sleep with your man."

said with a smile: "I don't care, I can't do it, all my sister-in-law's belongings are blocked, if there is a mistake, my sister-in-law will become a poor egg, and I will have to go to your door to beg for food."

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "I know that you are for this matter, our family has shipped out 200,000 stone grain this time, not much more than you, what do you have to worry about, you are thinking about that money every day."

Wang Xifeng said angrily: "Your family is so rich, we will also drink soup, where can we compare with you, compared with you, my sister-in-law is a poor person."

Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai glanced at each other, smiled but did not speak, compared to their own family, Wang Xifeng is really a poor person.

Shi Xiangyun leaned over and said, "Sister-in-law Feng, I don't believe in other people's words, I absolutely believe in the third brother, what do you have to worry about?" You just wait and count the money."

Over the years, the historian has also lived a prosperous life because of Jia Cong's care, and he is no longer as poor as before.

For this reason, Shi Xiangyun is very grateful to Jia Cong, and this time the Shi family also participated in it, thinking of making a lot of money.

As long as people who are not too stupid can understand the benefits.

The reason why few people do it is because the banditry is serious, and if one is not good, it will become nothing, and even a small life will be lost. In addition, the checkpoints along the way, eating and taking cards is also a big expense.

Even if the grain is transported to Shaanxi, there is no local support and no backer, and it will be squeezed by local grain merchants and local snakes, and even robbed by others, working in vain.

This time is different, Jia Cong took the army to Shaanxi, which is everyone's biggest backer.

If anyone dares to jump out and make trouble at this time and dismantle Jia Cong's platform, it is slapping Jia Cong's face, even if he is killed by Jia Cong, it will be killed in vain. casually according to the last crime of banditry, I'm afraid that even the family will be copied.

Really smart people don't jump out at this time.

Wang Xifeng smiled: "Actually, I also believe in Brother Cong, but this money is not in my hand, and my heart is always unsteady, and I don't know when I can bring the money back."

Li Kun saw the appearance of a few people dripping, he didn't know what they were talking about, and he didn't come forward.

Jia Mu also noticed the small movements of a few people, and said with a smile, "What are you whispering about? Speak it up and let us all hear it."

Shi Xiangyun grinned and said, "Old lady, Sister-in-law Feng is worried about her silver."

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Old Ancestor, don't listen to Yun Ya's nonsense, I just care about Brother Cong, ask him where he is now, and if he has written back."

Jia Mu said, "Yes, where is Brother Cong now, I don't know what the situation is on his side, it's really worrying. Yu'er, do you know the specifics?"

Lin Daiyu said: "Old lady, Brother Cong didn't write back, but counting the days, it should be at the border of Shaanxi now, and I don't know anything else."

Tanchun said: "Old lady, don't worry, the third brother is the commander of the army, and with the protection of the army, it will be fine."

Jia Mu said: "I also know that Brother Cong is a powerful person and will not have anything to do, but I am still a little worried in my heart, if you have any news about him, you must tell me as soon as possible."

Lin Daiyu said, "Old lady, don't worry, I will tell you first if there is news."

Mrs. Wang pursed her lips, and secretly said in her heart, there are many dead people in Shaanxi, and that bastard can still turn the other around, so it's better to die there and not come back.

Then help my Baoyu and get Ning Guofu in his hands, and the second room will be developed.

Thinking that everything Jia Cong had worked so hard to get back to his second room, he couldn't help laughing.

When everyone heard the laughter, they couldn't help but look at her together, and they all looked at her with a puzzled expression, not knowing what he was laughing at?

Only Aunt Xue knew her sister's thoughts, observed her words and looks, and guessed it

Seven-seven-eight-eight.

I can't help but feel a little annoyed in my heart, Jia Cong is his son-in-law, and his sister doesn't want him to be good, it's really too much.

However, everyone knows this kind of thing, and there is no need to say it, which makes everyone lose face.

Mother Jia asked curiously, "Second family, what's the good thing that makes you so happy?" Speaking out makes everyone happy."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she reacted instantly.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, it's nothing, I'm thinking that Brother Cong'er will be fine, and thinking that he can come back victorious, I laughed happily."

Mrs. Xing looked at Mrs. Wang a few times strangely, and scolded in her heart: "I believe that you are a ghost, you must not hold back any good fart in your heart, maybe you can't expect Brother Cong'er to come back, you are really vicious, hum."

Mother Jia glanced at the second daughter-in-law meaningfully, then turned her head, as far as she was careful, she didn't understand anything, but she didn't want to poke her.

At this moment, the mandarin duck walked in with the curtain.

glanced at everyone, and then came to Mother Jia, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the old lady, our grandfather has won a big victory in Shaanxi."

There was a sudden silence in the hall, and everyone was instantly ecstatic.

Jia Mu asked in surprise, "Is this serious?"
