In front of the hanging flower door.

Jia's mother, Xing, Wang's two wives, and You's family all put on their own makeup, leading the girls to stand at the foot of the steps, and the maids and women behind them stood on the left.

A little guy hurriedly ran over, panting and said, "Old lady... Former... ...... front"

Sister Feng asked anxiously, "What's going on ahead?" ”

The little guy gasped a few times and stammered speechless.

Jia Mu stopped Sister Feng, "He ran in a hurry, and told him to take two breaths, just say it, it's not bad for these two efforts." ”

Hearing this, Sister Feng had no choice but to give up.

The little guy quickly adjusted his breathing, and then said: "Old lady Qiqi, the saint and the eldest master, the second master, the third master Cong, and the uncle Zhen went directly to the study!" ”

"Don't we go and kowtow?"

"The saint said that the third master Cong has made a great contribution to Sheji, and this time I came here to thank you, and asked the old ladies to go over and kowtow, what is this!"

"So they went to the study?"

"Yes."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Is that okay?

Jia Mu was knowledgeable, and immediately understood something, turned her head and asked Xue Baochai: "You can actually ask the saint to come over in person, what kind of great achievement has Brother Cong made?" ”

Everyone turned their gaze.

"I don't know the specifics."

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "I only know that it was last year, the third master handed over the potato grain seeds cultivated in the greenhouse, and at the end of the year, because of my aunt's matter, I didn't come back until last month, and today should be a reward for the back......"

"The one who has been guarded by two teams of soldiers day and night?"

Sister Feng's face was full of surprise, "That one called a potato, can make such a great contribution?" ”

Next to him, Xue Baochai smiled.

"Is that a cultivated grain?"

At this time, Jia Mu also faintly remembered the greenhouse that was surrounded by a lot of turmoil last spring, and faintly guessed a little truth in her heart.

To know.

The law of Daqian is strict, except for the forbidden army in the palace and the pro-army guarding the city, even if it is the escort of the royal prince, it is not allowed to wear armor and hold a bow in the city, and violators will be severely punished.

But even under such circumstances, Jia Cong's personal soldiers were actually allowed to wear armor and carry bows, and the importance of this is self-evident.

So he asked: "The one called potato, how much is the production capacity per mu?" ”

Xue Baochai thought for a moment and replied: "That time, I overheard the third master mention it, saying that under normal circumstances, the production capacity of potatoes per mu has reached more than ten stone ......."

"What? More than ten stones! ”

Before she finished speaking, Jia Mu exclaimed.

She knew very well what an incredible thing it was to produce more than ten stones per mu.

Immediately, Jia Mu couldn't help but say to herself: "No wonder the saint has to come over in person, no wonder he said that he didn't ask us to go to ask for peace, it turns out that Brother Cong'er has made such a meritorious contribution silently!" ”

In the end, the smile on his face could not be hidden.

At the same time, a lot of urgency also came to her heart, she was still ready to match Jia Cong and Lin Daiyu, but if Jia Cong continued to make such meritorious contributions, Lin Daiyu was afraid that she would not be able to reach her status......

made up her mind, Ming'er had to hurry up and go to Lin Ruhai's mansion.

Lin Daiyu is almost at the age of getting married, so it's completely okay to set a family affair or something first!

…………

The other side.

Emperor Chengde sat in the outer study, listening to the neighing of horses from time to time in the south, with a strange expression.

Sat for a while.

finally couldn't help but ask: "Jia Aiqing, is this really your study?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty," Jia Yu hurriedly got up and saluted, affirming: "This is really Weichen's study!" ”

"I remember that you are the longhouse of the family, how can you ......"

Emperor Chengde wanted to speak and stopped.

Jia Zheng's face next to him turned red, and he was speechless.

Jia Cong and Jia Zhen lowered their heads and did not squeak, forcibly holding back so as not to laugh out loud.

Glancing at Jia Cong.

Emperor Chengde remembered what Jinyi Mansion had heard about the Jia family, and said directly: "Jia Aiqing, this Rongguo Mansion was given by Emperor Taizu, and you, as a member of the family, live in this outer courtyard, aren't you dissatisfied?" ”

"The minister is not dissatisfied."

Jia Yu, who had just sat down, hurriedly got up and saluted again.

Jia Zheng couldn't sit still, so he immediately fell to the ground, and said guiltily: "Your Majesty, Weichen knows his mistake, and he will move out of Rongxi Hall when he goes back." ”

"Hurry up."

Emperor Chengde Yang Zuo was surprised and said: "Today I am a private visit to Weifu, there is no need to make this big gift, Yuan Chun is my virtuous concubine, if you really want to talk about it, we are a family." ”

As he spoke, he ordered: "Qiu Companion, quickly help Jia Shilang up!" ”

"Yes."

After some tossing, Jia Yu and Jia Zheng sat down again.

Emperor Chengde turned his gaze to Jia Cong and said with a smile: "I came here today mainly to tell you about potatoes, so as not to resentful in your heart." ”

When he spoke, he saw that Jia Cong had a smile on his face, and there was no resentment.

Emperor Chengde nodded secretly in his heart.

Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, "......?? ”

When he was talking to himself just now, he still had a "me", but now that he has changed to Jia Cong, he has directly become "me", and this difference is not insignificant.

The three of them knew that Jia Cong was favored, but it was not until today that they knew how favored Jia Cong was!

The waist pole unconsciously straightened a little.

Emperor Chengde continued: "Your dedication to potatoes and grain seeds has made a great contribution to Daqian, and I have also discussed with my father, and I feel that it is not too much to make you a prince." ”

As soon as these words came out, the three of them almost threw out the tea cup in their hands.

What kind of potatoes are offered, and the country is gone??

Jia Cong's expression remained unchanged, looking at Emperor Chengde waiting for the following.

The next moment.

Emperor Chengde really changed his words, "But you also know that if you are crowned the Duke of the Kingdom now, it won't be long before you can only stay in Shenjing City......

There was a long pause.

Emperor Chengde gritted his teeth, "This time, I am going to only promote your title to one rank, and at the same time promote you to the former military capital governor's mansion Zuo Du Governor, what do you think?" ”

Jia Cong got up and saluted, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's intentions are good, Jia Cong understands it in his heart. ”

"It's good to understand."

The smile on Emperor Chengde's face grew.

He was also relieved in his heart, Jia Cong's dedication to potatoes and grains can be called an immortal achievement, and the feudal prince is just ordinary.

Now that Emperor Chengde has suppressed the reward, if it makes a fuss, his reputation will be over.

If a courtier is not rewarded for his meritorious service, who else is willing to do things for him?

Not to mention that Jia Cong is still his own right-hand man, if he really leaves his heart because of this, he will lose a lot of money!

Luckily, everything is looking up.

Emperor Chengde looked at Jia Cong, only felt that it was pleasing to the eye, and he had the intention to compensate him, so he asked: "Although your title is not good to be promoted faster, you can compensate part of it in other aspects."

What could you want? ”

What is there to want?

Jia Yu and the others next to him were already there, is this a conversation between the emperor and his courtiers?

Is it really His Majesty the Emperor who is sitting at the top?

Not to mention the complexity of a few people's hearts.

After Jia Cong thought for a while, he spoke: "Your Majesty, Jia Lian, the minister's brother, although he is only a five-grade donations with the same knowledge, he still has a heart to serve his family and country......

Don't wait for Jia Cong to finish.

Emperor Chengde directly waved his hand and said, "Ming'er asked Jia Lian to go to the soldiers and horses in Xicheng to be the commander, since it is your family, I can rest assured that I will use it." ”

Then he asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen stayed there, "......"

Hearing the inquiry, Jia Cong didn't see it at all, and directly threw Jia Baoyu and Jia Rong's uncle and nephew out, but this time he directly explained to Emperor Chengde and asked for a free position.

After all, Jia Lian is capable, and Jia Cong knows it in his heart, so even if Emperor Chengde directly puts him in power as an official, Jia Cong's heart is not worried.

But Jia Baoyu and Jia Rong, uncles and nephews, are not like that.

Rewarding an idle position is already a step to the sky!

Next.

In the dull eyes of the three people next to him, Emperor Chengde immediately approved Jia Cong's request, and placed his cheap brother-in-law Jia Baoyu in the Ministry of Industry and took the title of a foreigner.

Well, it was Jia Zheng's previous position.

So that the father and son can exchange experiences, and bring the old with the new!

Jia Rong was placed in the Xicheng Terracotta Division and given a clerical position as the governor of Liupin.

Hearing Emperor Chengde's series of arrangements, when Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen looked at Jia Cong opposite, their faces were full of gratitude, and Jia Yu's eyes were full of satisfaction.

Then.

Jia Zhen suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Go to a few people, call the second master Lian and the second master Bao in your house, and go to my house again, and call Brother Rong over!" ”

A few of the little guys were full of answers.

Hurriedly ran out.

…………

In the Rongqing Hall.

Jia Mu was playing leaf cards with everyone, and there was laughter and laughter in the house.

It was rare for several girls to get together, and they all got together to laugh.

This time I took advantage of Jia Baoyu's mind, and the whole person was like a little butterfly, constantly circling around several girls, talking and laughing.

I am having fun.

A small guy outside the door hurriedly broke in, panting and about to leave Raja Baoyu.

Seeing that there were no rules like this, Jia Mu's face sank immediately, and she said angrily: "Who are you following?" Didn't the steward teach the rules of the house? ”

The little guy was frightened.

Hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "So that the old lady knows, it was the old man who asked me to come over and bring the second master of Bao over, because I was in a hurry, so I lost the rules, and I hope to forgive my sins!" ”

When I heard that I was calling myself over, I was in such a hurry.

Jia Baoyu broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly asked, "What did the second master call me for?" ”

Not far away, Jia Mu also asked: "The second master didn't say anything, why did you call Baoyu in the past?" ”

"It's a great thing."

The little guy was full of smiles, "Come over today, Third Master Cong took the opportunity to ask for an official position, and now I want to ask Second Master Bao to kowtow and thank you!" ”

"Got an official position for Baoyu?"

Mrs. Wang was overjoyed.

Jia Mu asked again: "Is there only Baoyu?" ”

The little guy immediately replied: "The villain is only responsible for calling Second Master Bao, as for Second Master Lian and Uncle Xiao Rong of Dongfu, there are other little guys who have gone to find ......."

At this time, the eyes of Sister Feng and Qin Keqing next to her also lit up.

Jia Mu suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Cong is really a good one, we didn't misunderstand him!" ”

"Mother, let's call Baoyu over quickly."

Mrs. Wang was a little anxious, "In case of delaying Xie En's time, it's a big deal!" ”

Jia Mu suddenly, "Yes, yes, yes, bring Baoyu over!" ”

I heard that the emperor rewarded himself as an official.

Jia Baoyu's fear suddenly decreased, his hands stopped shaking, his legs and feet stopped trembling, and he swaggered with the little girl to Jia Yu's outer study, and the girls behind him laughed secretly.

"Oh," Sister Feng suddenly said, "I forgot to ask, what officials Your Majesty has rewarded!" ”

"What are you anxious about?"

Jia Mu smiled: "Anyway, the official position can't run, and it's not too late to ask when the people come back!" ”

"That's what the ancestor said."

Sister Feng smiled and took Xue Baochai's hand and said, "Thanks to Brother Cong this time, I have to thank you well, I will go to the library to rummage through it tomorrow, and I will prepare a big gift for you!" ”

said and dragged Qin Keqing next to him.

smiled: "And our little Rong grandma, you also go back to search for Brother Zhen's treasury, pick up good things and move some out, don't be stingy!" ”

Qin Keqing smiled and replied "yes" again and again.

You smiled at Jia's mother and said, "Ancestor, take care of this phoenix, look at her, this is to instigate Keqing to empty our house......"

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

…………

At the court meeting on the first day of the fourth month, it was agreed that Wang Ziteng would go to Wenzhou to suppress the rebellion.

Because he wanted to mobilize some of the soldiers of the Beijing camp and the soldiers of the Miyun camp, Jia Cong thought about it a little, and still transferred some of the elite soldiers of the hundred battles to Wang Ziteng.

The latter thanked himself again and again.

this day.

Lin Daiyu returned to Rongguo Mansion to talk to the three sisters of Yingchun, and called someone to invite Xue Baochai and Qingwen.

It just so happened that Jia Cong was resting and was idle at home.

As soon as his mind moved, he followed Xue Baochai and the others to Yingchun.

For Jia Cong's arrival, everyone was naturally overjoyed.

Laughing, suddenly a maid outside the door hurriedly ran in, but it was the little maid Lotus next to Yingchun.

Fang Yi entered the door.

The lotus flower hurriedly grabbed Yingchun's sleeve and said, "Miss, it's not good, Sister Si Qi has a quarrel with the daughter-in-law of the Liu family in the small kitchen......

We're only halfway there.

Suddenly, I saw that Jia Cong was actually there, and I was immediately stunned.

See its wood there.

Xiu Tang next to him hurriedly pulled Lianhua'er's sleeve and reminded in his ear: "Don't hurry up and give the third master Cong a gift!" ”

"Yikes!"

Lianhua'er exclaimed in hindsight, only to realize that because she was too eager, she actually rushed into the house recklessly, and her face turned pale in an instant.

"Cong... Third Master Cong! ”

Lianhua'er cried with a sad face, and said tremblingly: "I've seen the third master of Cong, I'm just a little anxious, I ......"

glanced at the sleeves of Yingchun's coat that were grabbed.

Jia Cong didn't speak.

Only then did Lianhua'er react and hurriedly spread her hand.

Jia Cong asked, "You said that Si Qi had a quarrel with someone in the small kitchen?" What is it for? ”

"This ......"

Lotus Blossom is a little indescribable.

Jia Cong glanced at Yingchun, but saw that although his face was helpless, he had a natural look, and he wanted to let it go.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Sure enough, it's Miss Coward......

So, Jia Cong got up and said, "Let's go, let's go and see the excitement together!" ”
