In the Rongxi Hall, there was a sudden silence.

For the Xue family, Wang Ziteng's request is not excessive!

You must know that after Jia Cong accepted Baochai as a concubine, he was extremely thoughtful about the Xue family's etiquette, and almost treated Aunt Xue and Xue Pan according to the standards of his mother-in-law and eldest brother.

Therefore, Aunt Xue's mother and son were extremely moved in their hearts.

But this doesn't change the fact that Xue Baochai is just a concubine after all!

Because of this, even Xue Pan, who has always been arrogant, only calls Jia Cong "Brother Cong" on weekdays, and never calls himself Jia Cong's eldest brother.

This is the most basic etiquette.

The royal family still has a rule that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the prince is good, as soon as he comes, he asks Xue Baochai to help him ask Jia Cong for assistance, how can he make it?

Aunt Xue is willing to agree?

Although opposite is her own brother, compared to Xing Fu, who is her daughter, and Jia Cong, who treats herself like a mother-in-law, Aunt Xue naturally knows who to favor in her heart.

And so.

After clearing Wang Ziteng's small abacus, Aunt Xue directly replied for Xue Baochai, "Master's business, Baochai is a woman's family, where can there be a place to speak?" Let's wait for Brother Cong to come back......"

Wang Ziteng's face sank.

Although it was not a direct refusal, Aunt Xue's meaning had been clearly expressed, and if she didn't directly agree, it was already a serious refusal!

It's just that the former said it tactfully and saved some face.

Suppress the unhappiness in your heart.

The smile on Wang Ziteng's face did not change, and he nodded: "I also know that Jia Cong must have been asked about this matter, but I think that with his love for Baochai, there should be no surprise!" ”

“……？？”

Aunt Xue was stunned.

His face suddenly became quite ugly.

Then Zhengse said: "Second brother, I'm afraid I heard it wrong, my sister meant, I just asked Baochai to ask if Jia Cong could come back to celebrate her birthday on the twenty-first day of the first lunar month."

As for whether to ask for help or something else during the period, the second brother went to talk to Brother Cong, we girls don't understand anything at all......"

"I'm your own brother!"

Aunt Xue's words made the prince angry, and said, "I didn't help with many things in your family back then?" Now that I, as an elder brother, have something to ask for, you are prevaricating to me like this? ”

A face full of disappointment.

Next to him, Wang Ziteng's wife also begged: "Good sister, help your brother, he is going to the battlefield!" In case of some accident, how can we live as a family......"

As he spoke, his eyes turned red.

I can't stop wiping it with a handkerchief.

Mrs. Wang also kept persuading Xue Baochai, Aunt Xue and others.

Jia Zheng sat on the side, his face quite embarrassed......

There's no denying it.

After Xue Pan's father died, Wang Ziteng did help the Xue family a lot, and later Xue Pan caused a life lawsuit in Jinling, and it was also because of Wang Ziteng's strength that he was able to survive.

Aunt Xue kept these things in mind.

Listening to their bleakness now, I inevitably have some hesitation in my heart.

Half an hour later.

Aunt Xue gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, "Baochai can help you say a few good words to Jia Cong at most and make a recommendation, as for the final result, you have to talk about it yourself!" ”

Although it did not meet Wang Ziteng's best expectations, this is already a good result!

Wang Ziteng nodded and said with a smile: "That's fine!" ”

After a while.

I told Aunt Xue uneasily, "You must remember that the sooner this matter is, the better......"

"Uncle relax," Xue Baochai said with a smile: "When tomorrow morning, as soon as the morning dawns, I will send someone to Yangzhou, and there will be a response in three or five days!" ”

"That's good."

Wang Ziteng smiled with satisfaction.

…………

Don't mention the things of Shenjing.

Yangzhou City, in the courtyard of the Lin Mansion.

A young man stood there arrogantly and said to Jia Cong: "This is my Lin family's business, I don't need your surname Jia to get involved, please leave the Lin Mansion!" ”

"Tell me to leave the Lin Mansion?"

Jia Cong smiled.

Pointing to several elders behind the young man, his face was full of ridicule, "You don't have a long memory after being beaten, you are also a talented, just move them over to be useful?" ”

The young man froze.

Hearing Jia Cong's words, the faces of several old men who were still there changed greatly.

Immediately, he beat the cane in his hand, pointed at Jia Cong and said, "That's how your parents taught you etiquette?" Lawless in front of the elders, I don't understand the rules! ”

"Rules? What's that? ”

Jia Cong asked rhetorically, "What I am in now is my own uncle's mansion, but a few of you broke in without respecting the number of courtesies, and you still have the face to mention the rules to me?" ”

"Who broke through!"

The young man almost jumped up and said angrily: "This is my uncle's mansion, how can we not enter?" ”

"Really?"

Jia Cong flicked his nails, and his face was light, "But my uncle didn't invite a few of you to come over, and the uninvited guests came uninvited, and they were talking about you!" ”

The young man was speechless.

An old man behind him spoke: "Junqing, this child, I heard that Ruhai was seriously ill, so he came from thousands of miles away to serve the decoction medicine in front of his uncle's bed, and his filial piety is commendable.

On the contrary, you are obstructing everywhere, what is your intention? ”

Hit a rake.

Sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy, and in a blink of an eye, he threw the problem on Jia Cong again.

At this time, Lin Daiyu came out of the house.

He said to several old men: "Ladies and gentlemen, please go back, my father's condition has been cured, thank you for your concern, Daiyu must be engraved in my heart!" ”

“……”

As soon as these words came out, they were directly killed.

Seeing Lin Daiyu come out, the young man named Lin Junqing's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Sister Daiyu, I am your Junqing's brother, do you remember?" ”

Only a few steps have been taken.

He Dong, who was guarding next to him, stretched out his hand to stop him, "Talking is talking, what are you going to lean over for?!" ”

Lin Junqing is a spirit.

Subconsciously touched his cheeks, the last slap made his face swollen for several days, and he was almost laughed at by other children in the family.

At this time, when I saw He Dong stretching out his hand, the psychological shadow area soared!

Seeing Lin Junqing's unsuccessful appearance, several old men behind him almost crooked their noses, and they were still so cowardly in front of other little girls, it was really mud that couldn't support the wall!

Lin Daiyu even subconsciously hid behind Jia Cong.

shook his head again and again: "I don't know Brother Junqing's ugly ghost brother, you go quickly!" ”

Katsa!

It was like a thunderbolt on the head.

Faintly, Lin Junqing seemed to hear the sound of his heartbreak......

A heart of love is born, and it is ruthlessly crushed.

What a beautiful sister Daiyu......

For a while, Lin Junqing only felt that his life was gloomy.

Looked at.

Another old man stood up helplessly.

arched his hand and said, "This son, I waited to come here just to see how Ruhai's body is doing, can you make it convenient and let us in?" ”

"It would have been nice to come and visit my uncle's health earlier."

Jia Cong sneered, "Come here so arrogantly, I thought you knew that your uncle was seriously ill and wanted to come to take the family property and share the land!" ”

Lin Junqing's expressions froze.

It's obviously said that it's on the mind!

After a while.

The old man reluctantly pulled a smile and said, "Childe said that he was joking, several of us are all family members of Ruhai, and when we learned that he was seriously ill, how could we not come to visit one or two?" ”

The words are not finished.

Jia Cong reached out to interrupt it.

corrected: "This is wrong, you are just my uncle's clansmen who are about to come out of the five suits, and he can't beat the eight poles soon, and his family only has Sister Lin and me."

The little Jiujiu in your heart is as conspicuous as the lice on the top of the bald man's head, so don't take it out and embarrass it. ”

You're welcome at all.

To put it bluntly, the choked Lin Junqing and his entourage had round eyes, and several old men almost turned their backs.

Lin Daiyu nodded vigorously beside her and echoed: "Brother Cong is right, since my mother died, my father's family is only me...... Brother Hecong! ”

Speaking of the back, the little face was already flushed.

"You want to embezzle our Lin family's property!"

Lin Junqing's face turned red, pointed at Jia Cong, and said angrily: "I have long seen that something is wrong with you, it turned out that you came to my uncle's property, no wonder I have been deliberately preventing me from doing my filial piety in front of my uncle's bed." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull Lin Daiyu again, and said hurriedly: "Sister Daiyu, don't be deceived by this guy, he is trying to embezzle our family's property!" ”

"You can call me by my name?"

Lin Daiyu's face turned cold, and He Dongdao, who was next to her, said: "I don't know how to count etiquette, palm my mouth!" ”

Lin Junqing was stunned.

The next moment, everyone only heard a crisp sound of "pop".

Ren's familiar hot feeling came to his heart, and Lin Junqing just looked at Lin Daiyu not far away in a daze, with an incredible face.

"Nonsense!"

An old man scolded: "No matter what you say, you have to call him brother, how dare you ask outsiders to beat him ruthlessly?" Don't apologize to Junqing soon! ”

"What brother?"

Jia Cong couldn't help but sneer, "The boy of the branch vein, let the mother-in-law of the main family call him brother, you guys are old and the lake is painted by yourself, do you think that the whole world is the same as you?" ”

"You ......"

The old man was speechless in anger.

"Brother Cong said it well!"

Lin Ruhai came out with the support of the two little guys, looked at the old men in the courtyard, snorted coldly, and said, "This Lin family is my Lin Ruhai's Lin family, what does it have to do with your branches?"

You think I can't do it, so you sent this kid here, what kind of idea do you think, I really don't know? ”

Lin Ruhai's thin face showed a little mockery.

“……”

There are also people who don't give up, and say: "Ruhai, you are old now, and you have no children under your knees, won't you even have a bedside to serve decoction in the future, how can you do it?" ”

pointed at Lin Junqing.

Lin Ruhai said expressionlessly: "So you want me to recognize him?" ”

Hear me.

The old man before only thought that Lin Ruhai had a change of heart, and suddenly smiled: "That's right, although Junqing's child is a little naïve, he always has the blood of our Lin family on his body, and he is his own ......."

"What of your own people?"

Lin Ruhai glanced at him, "Daiyu and Brother Cong are my 'own people', what kind of thing is this kid?" It also deserves to be compared to the two of them?! ”

In the courtyard, Lin Daiyu and many of the Lin family's maids widened their eyes.

His face was full of disbelief.

The old man, who has always been elegant and easy-going, has such irritable times!

Those old men were angry and blew their beards, pointing at Lin Ruhai's hands and trembling, but they couldn't say a word, that kind of appearance, people couldn't help but guess if they would hang up directly!

That's when it happened.

Outside the door, He Nan hurriedly ran in.

He said: "Master, we have thoroughly found out, the boat that my aunt was riding on the parade was tampered with, so it sank not long after the trip." ”

"Someone really does it!"

A cold light flashed in Jia Cong's eyes, "Have you ever found out who made the poison?" ”

He Nan replied: "This matter seems to have something to do with the four salt merchants of Li, Jiang, Huang, and Pan, and they have never dealt with my aunt and master, but why do they dare to take action against the imperial court officials, this has not yet been investigated." ”

"If you can't find it, forget it!"

Hearing Jia Cong's words, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but be stunned.

Just as he was about to ask why, he heard Jia Cong continue: "Since you know who is behind the trouble, what do you continue to investigate?" The four of them will tell us! ”

"Will the four of them tell us?"

Lin Daiyu was a little puzzled.

Lin Ruhai over there understood it, and hurriedly said: "Brother Cong'er can't be reckless, the two Huai and eight salt merchants, the four of them are the first to rise to the momentum, and I don't know what kind of connections and power they have saved in the past hundred years, or they are still safe." ”

"Uncle is also cautious."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Although the eight salt merchants of Lianghuai are some of the richest merchants in the world, but my nephew came here this time, but with the banner of the king's order, no matter how powerful they are, can they still be bigger than the imperial court?" ”

Lin Ruhai was quite surprised, "I only care about healing my body these days, and I also said how did you bring so many soldiers and horses here without permission, it turned out to be Your Majesty's grace ......"

Talking.

He arched his hand towards Shenjing from afar.

Jia Cong said: "Because I felt that there was something strange in my uncle's falling into the water, I originally planned to apply to Your Majesty to bring my own soldiers here, but who expected that after Your Majesty learned about my uncle's matter, even if he issued an order, he ordered me to bring more than 1,000 people and horses with me, and even gave the royal flag......

Lin Ruhai was moved: "Holy Longen, there is really no retribution!" ”

…………

At the same time.

Liaodong.

The cold wind of the first month still invades people's muscles and bones, and the unmelted snowflakes are piled up, and the world is plain white.

In this white, there is such a complexity.

On the muddy ground, hundreds of ownerless war horses were scattered in all directions, and there were horizontal corpses everywhere, and snow water mixed with blood seeped into the mud.

The cold air was mixed with a rich fishy sweetness.

"The Great Khan is mighty!

”

"The Great Khan is mighty!

”

Many Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers were constantly cheering.

Amid the cheers, Nurhachi put away his sword and sheathed it, shouting: "Hurry up and clean up the battlefield, tonight Ben Khan allows everyone to drink and eat meat to their heart's content!" ”

Another cheer rang out.

Not far away.

Letting his men and horses go to clean up the battlefield, Eyidu rode to Nurhachi's side, "Khan, this is already the third Haixi Jurchen tribe, didn't you say that you were going to fight south?" ”

"To the south?"

Nurhachi smiled, "I just promised to cooperate with him to make some trouble, but I didn't plan to fight hard with Daqian!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a waist card from his arms, "Ben Khan is still the commander of the Jianzhou Guard, how can he just aim the saber at the old club?" ”
