The next day, the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the new year.

Early in the morning, the sound of firecrackers sounded everywhere in Shenjing.

The easternmost part of the outer courtyard of Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Cong stood by the window, looking out, only to see a piece of silver, occasionally a gust of cold wind passed by, and the snow resting on the treetops was blown and jumped down......

"It's a little year!"

With a deep breath, Jia Cong looked out the window with a silent expression, and his thoughts had long since flown somewhere.

He's waiting!

Although Mrs. Xing had been persuaded to agree to abandon literature and martial arts yesterday, whether or not he could go to the battlefield in the end had to be said by his father Jia Yu!

The first test has passed, and what Jia Cong is waiting for at this time is naturally the re-examination summons of his cheap father Jia Yu......

Thinking of the ending of the Jia family written in the book, he subconsciously sighed.

Jia Cong smiled bitterly in his heart, "It's true that each has its own threshold, and every family has a scripture that is difficult to read......"

With this in mind.

I can't help but think of those anti-heaven golden fingers of the traverser next door, what opening sign-in 100,000 snow dragon riders, what sacrifice billions of times increase, and directly activate the invincible attribute template......

But as long as they occupy the same, what are the difficulties of the Jia family in the future?

Sweep everything straight away!

But Jia Cong looked at the portable space in front of him that only he could see, and then he was glad again, but he thought of the group of unlucky people who only had one mouth at the beginning, what is happiness?

That's it!

The snowflakes outside the window fell again, and Jia Cong's heart in the house was very content......

sent the maids down to the fire to keep warm.

Jia Cong's right hand leaned forward, and the void in front of him disappeared in an instant, and when he retracted his hand, there was already a steaming bun in his palm.

"Time stands still in the carry-on space, and it's a great place to store things, keep food fresh, or whatever."

Take a bite of the bun in your hand and look at the snow outside the window.

Jia Cong had a flash of inspiration.

"Compared with the dynamic world of existence, there is no flow of time in the portable space, as long as you do not use your permission to access items, then it is completely in a state of space-time freeze......

In this case, as long as it is embodied and embedded in the void, isn't it a shield of a cube that does not need to withstand force and is indestructible? ”

The next moment.

The three-foot-square personal space was revealed, turning into a square-shaped shield that no one else could perceive outside the window, and snowflakes like cotton wool fell, and after a while, a thin layer of snowflakes was seen suspended in the air.

I tried to reach out and push hard, but I didn't move; took out a small and sharp short knife and stabbed it fiercely, and Jia Cong's hand hurt that was stronger than King Kong's touch; Then Jia Cong opened the space again, and the short knife in his hand instantly disappeared into the void......

"It really can!"

Jia Cong's face was full of surprise.

After a while.

Jia Cong's mind turned again, and the space around him disappeared in all directions within three feet of him......

Needless to say, store things or something.

As for using it as a shield or something, as long as Jia Cong embodies the three-foot-square space and moves it so horizontally in front of him, what can break it in the world of Red Mansions?

Not to mention in the world of Red Mansions, even mushroom eggs in modern society can't take it!

Tsk twice.

Jia Cong felt a pity in his heart, "That is, the manifestation and disappearance of space have more than a second of reaction time, and you can't prevent all four from attacking together, otherwise wouldn't it be invincible in disguise?" ”

……

It's noon in the blink of an eye.

"Crackle, crackle, crackle......"

The sound of fireworks and firecrackers in the small year stove festival made the sky over the entire Shenjing fill the sky with a faint smell of gunpowder.

As soon as I had lunch under Ruyi's service, a maid came over.

"The master told the third master to go to the outer study to answer!"

"Got it."

Jia Cong nodded in response.

Then he wiped his face under Ruyi's service, straightened his clothes, and went out of the three-story instrument door all the way to the south, and went straight to Jia Yu's outer study.

Less.

Arrived outside Jia Yu's study.

Jia Yu's little servant Chang Gui had been ordered to wait there early, and when he saw Jia Cong coming from a distance, he beckoned: "The third master is going in, the master is already waiting in the study......"

As he spoke, he reached out to open the cotton curtain on the door for Jia Cong.

In the study.

Jia Yu leaned back in his chair, rubbing his beard under his chin with his right hand, holding a book in his left hand and looking at it carefully, a cup of hot tea on the table was steaming.

When he saw Jia Cong enter the door, his face immediately sank.

"In the past, you still looked like a good one, but if you don't think about it, you are also a maggot obstacle, you don't read good books, you want to learn the skills on the battlefield from the veterans at home, why don't you go to heaven if you have the ability?!"

The sudden scolding made Jia Cong stunned, and immediately reacted.

Hurriedly bowed down and said: "I hope my father knows, as of this winter, it has been four spring and autumn years since the child entered school, but the imperial examination is still in the fog; The child felt that he was not the material for reading, so he simply stopped wasting time......"

"Because of this, you don't study?"

Jia Yu snorted coldly, "I can't even stay up to school, what battlefield do I go to?" I think it's better to untie my trouser belt as soon as possible, find a crooked neck tree to hang on, and save Lao Tzu's face! ”

“……”

With the memory of the original body, Jia Cong has long been clear about Jia Yu's temperament, and his past is still reasonable to the original body, so although Jia Cong is a little annoyed in his heart at this time, he still does not show his face on his face.

Just bowed and didn't say anything.

Seeing that Jia Cong's appearance did not seem to be on a whim, Jia Yu's brows suddenly furrowed.

"Practicing martial arts in the army is not a child's play, if you are not careful, you will lose your head, and the military camp is no better than at home, no joke!"

Jia Cong didn't answer.

Seeing his youngest son's slightly immature but unusually firm face, Jia Yu finally put down the book in his hand, sat up straight, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you think in your heart?!"

"As my father said, I plan to practice battlefield skills with a few veterans in my family after the year, and I won't study!"

Jia Cong replied: "After the child is thirteen years old, it seems that he is about to tie his hair and crown at the age of the crown, although the huge Guogong Mansion is good, how many more years can I live?"

What kind of life those branches of the clan lived, my father also knew in his heart, instead of living in a mess, it was better to fight for a future, even if it was buried in the frontier, it was better than a lifetime of mediocrity! ”

A categorical voice rang out in the study.

Hearing this, Jia Yu couldn't help but lose his mind, how similar is the heroic young man in front of him at this time to the freshly dressed and angry horse who used to be in high spirits?

I also had lofty ambitions and pride in helping the world!

Pity......

In a trance, the memories engraved in the depths of the soul were instantly evoked, and the scenes of that year emerged......

Jia Yu sighed.

The tone softened inexplicably, and he persuaded: "You can't become a fat man by eating in one bite, and the imperial examination is not something that can be admitted by casually studying for two years.

You are still young, just study with peace of mind at the moment, even if you can't pass the exam, when you and the crown get married, I will arrange a ...... for you."

Words of concern could not change Jia Cong's firm determination.

Who wants to earn their lives if they can lie flat?

Jia Cong also wants to lie down, but if he doesn't work hard, he will really die! You can't tell Jia Yu directly, saying that the Jia family will be exiled after eleven or twelve years, right?

It's strange not to be regarded as evil!

"The child has made up his mind, and he asks his father for permission!"

Jia Cong's expression was firm, "The so-called gentleman's Ze will decline in the third generation, and be beheaded in the fifth generation." Now there are a lot of brothers in the family who are rich and honorable, and someone has to draw the knife and fight hard, right?!

Our family doesn't even have a soldier in power now, so we can't rely on those old relatives and friends for everything, right?

Then there is the abnormal climate in recent years, and the child is expected to have frequent wars in the north in the next few years, which is a great opportunity to make a contribution, I don't want to miss it! ”

Jia Cong's words made Jia Yu's heart move.

"Do you think there will be more wars in the north in the next few years? How do you decide? ”

Jia Cong secretly rolled his eyes.

How can it be determined?

Learn about the famous Xiaoice River period in the history books of later generations?

Sensing Jia Yu's intention to take the school examination, Jia Cong was not stage frightened.

Ran said proudly: "The child recently flipped through the "Chronicles of the Nine Domains of the Great Qian" and many newspapers in the house, and found that since the time of the former Ming Dynasty, the climate has been cold every year, and in recent years, it has been unusually cold.

For example, in Jinling, the ancestral land of our family, there have always been few winds and snows in winter in the past dynasties, but in recent years, it has been 'extremely cold in winter, and the river has frozen for several days'; even in the southern Fujian, Zhejiang, and Guangxi regions, it has been 'snowing heavily for several days, and the flat land is three feet'; and Qiongzhou is 'thousands of miles of snow, and thousands of miles of ice'......"

"What if the snow is heavier?"

Jia Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Isn't there such an old saying, called Ruixue Zhaofeng Year?" Besides, this wind and snow are heavy, and it is difficult to send troops to fight, isn't it even more difficult to fight? ”

"That's just the surface! Although there is a saying among the people that the snow is a good year, the snow is so heavy that it is a snow disaster. Once a snow disaster is formed, crops will fail to harvest, and at worst, people and animals will be wiped out. ”

Jia Cong's expression became extremely serious.

"What is more important is that drought and snow disasters have always been inseparable, the former will inevitably have the latter, the snow disaster will freeze people and animals to death, and the drought will reduce land production ......"

Jia Yu nodded.

There was a trace of undisguised admiration in his eyes, and he gradually made a decision in his heart.

Jia Cong pointed to the north again and continued: "In the general environment, the Great Cadre in the south is still so difficult, and the North is three points colder than the Great Dry, isn't it even worse?

The extreme cold and increasingly scarce supplies will surely force the remnants of the Mengyuan who are fighting among themselves, and the Jurchen tribes, who are already eyeing the Great Qian, to continue to invade the south in order to survive......

This is the inevitable source of war!! ”

"Well said!"

Jia Yu had an undisguised smile on his face, and said approvingly: "It's hard for you to see the situation so thoroughly at a young age, it seems that you have some talent, so I have nothing to say, the matter of practicing martial arts is accurate!" ”

"The son thanked the father!"

Jia Cong hurriedly bowed down to thank him.

"My son is motivated, of course I have to support him, thank you for it?!"

Jia Yu waved his hand, "In addition, from now on, in addition to the monthly silver in the public middle school, I will add an additional twenty taels to you here, and at the same time, the food in the kitchen is also open to you, and you can't eat short when practicing martial arts!" ”

Jia Cong was overjoyed, and thanked him for his busyness.

At this time, Jia Yu, how can he still be the old man of Rongguofu who is addicted to beauty and greedy for money in the memory of the original body?

But there is no doubt that today's Jia Yu is more liked by Jia Cong.

Picking up the tea on the table and taking a sip, Jia Yu said: "It's not too early, the old lady is estimated to have dinner later, you go back and pick it up first." ”

"My son is leaving!"

Looking at the back of the person who turned to leave, Jia Yu sighed softly, his expression was quite complicated......

In the study, the sound gradually became inaudible.

…………

According to the practice of previous years, on the day of the New Year, Jia's mother was going to hold a family banquet in the Rongqing Hall.

By the time Jia Cong returned to his small courtyard, the sky outside had begun to darken, and when he glanced at the chiming bell on the pillar outside, it was already two quarters of the hour.

I simply straightened my clothes.

Seeing that the time was about the same, Jia Cong didn't wait for Jia's mother to come to urge, and took the big girl Ruyi to Jia's mother's house.

The two of them first passed through the three-story instrument gate, from the east side of Jia Yuwai's study all the way to the south, until they stepped through the black oil gate and walked out of the Rongguo Mansion, and then turned to the west, entered from the west corner gate and walked north to take a cup of tea, and then came to the hanging flower door in front of Jia's mother's house.

Traveling to Rongguo Mansion for more than half a month, this is the first time Jia Cong has come here!

Compared with the preference for the youngest son Jia Zheng and the phoenix egg Jia Baoyu, Jia's mother's dislike of the long house is also well known, and the eldest son of the raider was driven to live next to the stable in the outer courtyard, and the main hall was actually left to the second son to live.

I don't know how many people in Beijing watched the jokes of the Jia family.

Jia's mother is so partial to her own son Jia Yushang, and she naturally doesn't care about Jia Cong, who is a concubine.

A few months ago, when the predecessor was seriously ill, Jia's mother asked a few times for the first time, and sent the mandarin ducks in the hospital to come over to take a look......

Avoid the morning and dusk.

On the surface, it seems to be a good intention, and it is a care for Jia Cong, but in fact it is not like that!

You must know that as the core of the power of the Guogong Mansion, Jia Mu's attitude is the benchmark for almost everyone.

Who Jia Mu likes, no matter what the people below think in their hearts, they have to greet each other with a smile on their faces; Correspondingly, if Jia Mu hates anyone, the people below will also rush over and step on her feet.

And Jia's mother's behavior is tantamount to telling the servants in the house in disguise that she doesn't want to see Jia Cong.

And so.

The food and clothing in Jia Cong's room are visible to the naked eye and go down a big step.

For example, the charcoal burned in the brazier in winter, even for Jia Huan, the second concubine, is the best silver frost charcoal, but when it comes to Jia Cong, only gray charcoal remains.

Because of this, Xing'er scolded Dai Liang, the manager of the warehouse, for being blind.

In a high-ranking family, such things as stepping on highs and lows are not uncommon!

At this time, looking at the paint painting on the hanging flower door, Jia Cong's eyes became more and more calm and profound.

There is no wave of ancient wells.
