Chapter 045: Returning to the Mansion, Jia's mother wants to say goodbye

Coming out of the palace.

Jia Cong looked at the sun that had sunk to the west, and stretched his muscles and bones vigorously.

This is the New Year's Day, and it's really not an ordinary boiling person!

Jia Cong made up his mind in his heart, and when he was at the end of the year, he would definitely have to think of an idea to avoid it, even if he went back to his hometown in Jinling to worship his ancestors, it was better than participating in this Zhengdan pilgrimage.

Good guys, everyone went out at three o'clock in the morning, and now at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, this is a day of tossing and turning without a little bit of water and rice.

Rao is Jia Cong's physical fitness is excellent, and his hungry stomach is ringing at the moment.

But Jia Cong is still good, like the cheap old man next to him, Jia Yu, because he lingers among the wine all the year round, he has long been depressed at the moment.

However, Jia Zheng still looked energetic, which made Jia Cong strange for a long time.

Not to mention that Jia Cong and the four of them left the palace, they walked all the way through the lively and noisy streets and hurried back.

Just entered the door.

was called over by Jia Mu.

When she arrived at Rongqing Hall, Jia's mother hurriedly asked someone to bring up the carefully simmered bird's nest porridge, which was warm and suitable, and Jia Cong drank two or three bowls in one go before filling her stomach.

Looked at.

Jia Mu smiled: "You will fill yourself with this porridge, and you will not eat dinner later?" ”

Hearing this, Jia Cong waved his hand indifferently, "Let's use some porridge first, I will get a trip to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies later, today is the Marquis of Zhongjing coming back from the north, and you comrades have made an appointment to greet you." ”

Hearing Shi Ding's news, Jia Mu lost a smile on her face.

worried: "I just said that the conquest army was defeated, but what the situation was, you didn't tell me, and I was scared all day long." ”

Jia Cong smiled bitterly.

"In the eight-hundred-mile urgent report in Liaodong, it was only written that the conquest army was defeated and the various departments suffered heavy losses, but the specific tragic method will not be known until someone comes back, but it is certain that Uncle Cousin is not in much trouble."

"It's okay if people are fine," Jia Mu sighed, "As long as the children and grandchildren of the younger generations are safe, it is better than anything else!" ”

At this time, Jia Yu beside him suddenly asked: "The Jianrui battalion under your command also went out with the army, how about the loss this time?" ”

Put down the porridge bowl.

Jia Cong shook his head slightly and sighed, "I'm afraid the situation in the Jianrui camp is not very good. ”

"How?"

"As the elite of the three armed forces, the commanders have always liked to use it as a vanguard, and under the charge, the casualties are extremely high, and this time it is a big defeat, not to mention ......"

There was silence in the room.

Madam Xing said worriedly: "If there are too many casualties among the corporals, won't it affect you, a general?" ”

Jia Cong smiled, "I was the Jianrui battalion that I received later, and I haven't even gotten the talisman yet, so the defeat of the Northern Expedition is naturally not on my head."

As for the problem of lack of personnel, when I went to the palace a few days ago, His Majesty had promised to give me the number of people in the Jianrui Battalion, so my mother didn't have to worry! ”

After listening to Jia Cong's words, Mrs. Xing suddenly understood.

……

After Jia Cong and the three of them had used the bird's nest porridge, Jia's mother said again: "On the second day of the new year tomorrow, our family will have a banquet for a few old relatives who have made good friends, if Brother Cong is fine, come and sit with me." ”

Hear the words.

Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing both glanced at Jia's mother in surprise.

Jia Cong was also stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Old lady Ming'er must be here for the ladies of all families to gather, why did the grandson come over rashly?" ”

As he spoke.

It's also a reaction.

Calling yourself over on such an occasion is clearly a candidate to start looking at your wife?!

Jia Cong's heart was shocked.

Jia Yu's brows furrowed, "Mother, isn't it too early for Brother Cong to look at others now?" ”

"Brother Cong is fifteen this year, it's not too early."

Jia Mu said: "Ming'er, I'm just going to let out a rumor first, if you want to find a brother Cong who is satisfied, why can't you wait a few days?" As for the matter of hiring a relative in the future, it doesn't hurt in a year or two......"

Hearing what Jia Mu said, Jia Yu nodded.

However, Mrs. Xing's eyes flashed next to her, thinking of what Aunt Xue said when she asked her to inquire about Jia Cong's family affairs a few days ago, and then looked at Mrs. Wang's appearance when she wanted to speak and stopped.

I suddenly had a number in my heart.

These two sisters, I'm afraid it's not the same heart anymore!

…………

Not to mention that Jia Cong left the house after using the porridge.

Those conversations in Jia's mother's house somehow came out, and the gossip of everyone fell into the ears of those who cared about it, which also caused a lot of waves.

Let's talk about Jia Cong's side.

After going out, he took the four people from the southeast, northwest and southeast to the governor's mansion of the five armies.

On the road.

Jia Cong asked He Dong, "I asked you to bring a letter back some time ago, and ask your family if they would like to come to the house on an errand, why is there no news now?" ”

He Dong smiled: "Someone brought the letter yesterday. ”

"What does the letter say?"

"I'll tell you this!"

On the side, He Nan grabbed the conversation with excitement on his face, and said: "I heard that the third master wants to invite them to the house on an errand, and my father and mother are 10,000 willing, but they are reluctant to plant the wheat in the field, and they plan to come back after the wheat is harvested!" ”

Speaking of which, in the end.

Rao is He Nan's big grin, and he is a little speechless.

Jia Cong didn't know what to do with this.

The reason why the family wants to take their parents to Rongguo Mansion is just so that the four brothers can go home to see their parents from time to time and do some filial piety.

As for saying that Father and Mother He want to harvest the wheat and come back, then wait a little longer.

"I said what's wrong."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "They have planted the land for most of their lives, and it is normal for them to plant wheat if they are reluctant to plant, and I am not one of those unreasonable people, you tell them to just harvest the wheat and come back!" ”

He Dong and the four of them thanked him again and again.

Suddenly remembering something, Jia Cong said to the four again: "The army of the conquest suffered a defeat a year ago, and the Jianrui battalion suffered heavy casualties, although Your Majesty promised to give me a replenishment, but this is also an opportunity......

Don't wait for the four to speak.

Jia Cong said again: "I remember you said that Zhuangzi is in his prime, and there are a lot of young people who are good at swordsmanship, yes or no? ”

"Truly."

The four of them had some vague guesses, and they all nodded.

Jia Cong did not hesitate, and said bluntly: "In this case, you four brothers sent someone back to the village to ask if anyone wanted to come and follow me......"

The voice is not falling here.

"We're waiting for the third master to speak!"

He Nan laughed, "The people who came up with Zhuang Shang are not young and old, but the third master was too busy a few days ago, and we didn't dare to disturb rashly, I don't want the third master to mention it first......

Jia Cong also smiled, "In that case, you can go back to Ming'er, just bring someone here!" ”

"Yes!"

The four brothers replied in unison.
