The Liu family of the Liguo Mansion is clearly distinguished, and the concubine occupies ninety percent of the political resources, and the concubine can't even drink the soup.

Liu Congxi's natural martial arts seeds, if he was born in Rongguo Mansion, Jia Daishan would not have to devote all his cultivation to become a talent.

But the Liu family is different, before the sister-in-law did not show up, he tried his best to suppress talents like Liu Congxi, for fear that the concubine would rise and overwhelm the son-in-law. Including Liu Xianglian's father, Liu Congrui, Liu Congxi and several other concubines, as soon as the old man died, he directly divided some poor property, and said goodbye to another house, and even let go in the army, not allowing Liu Congxi and others to join the army.

Even if Jia Daishan personally came forward to protect Liu Congxi as the captain of the Dragon Guard, the Liu family still tried their best to suppress it, and insisted that Liu Congxi was kept in the place for more than ten years and was not allowed to return to Beijing.

Otherwise, with Liu Congxi's handsome kung fu, he would have been able to enter Beijing to fill the gap.

"Big brother, the younger brother is also being targeted, and I wonder if there is something wrong with the people under my hands. can be checked and checked, and the clues are in the Zhongxin Palace, and I dare not investigate them. The last time the salt tax and silver were robbed, the younger brother had just found out about Huai'an Mansion, and Jinling sent someone to prevent the younger brother from going down. ”

Liu Congxi is just a five-grade thousand households, and several parents are in charge of it. There was only so much he could do, and Jia Yu didn't expect to get any useful clues from him.

I saw Jia Yu hand him a letter: "This is what Cao Jiugong asked me to transfer to you, whether you can seize this opportunity or not is up to you." Jinling is released in advance, you can clean up the manpower inside first, and do your best to catch Yangzhou Mansion in your hands. I'll take care of the rest. ”

Who is Cao Jiugong? The current emperor's confidant general, the top boss of the Dragon Praetorian Guard. Liu Congxi didn't need to read the content of the letter to think of what was written in it.

He happily put the letter in his arms and thanked Jia Yu: "Thank you for planning for the younger brother, please rest assured that the younger brother will deal with everything as soon as possible." The little brother over there will arrange for someone to keep an eye on him...... That's right......"

Liu Congxi took out a stack of paper from his sleeve, spread it out and put it in front of Jia Yu: "These people are all people who have beaten the Lin family's idea, and the younger brother has never dared to send it to the capital, and even the Lin family has not dared to go, for fear of startling the snake." Pardon Big Brother to see if it's useful? ”

Jia Yu took it and took a look, there were nearly dozens of families recorded on the paper, and the first one was not the Jinling Zhen family, but the prince of the county under the control of Du Taiwei.

Hehe! Sure enough, Wang Ziteng, who took one step and looked at three steps, was ruthless, and even sent someone to keep an eye on the Lin family a few years ago.

……

Li Shiqian's medical skills can indeed be said to be superb, no wonder the old man can arrogantly say that sentence: The old man dares to rob people with Lord Yama!

Jia Cong sat on the small bench obediently, quietly listening to Lin Ruhai telling him the four books, and answering his uncle's questions from time to time.

To say that the third master Cong is also a person who can't sit on the bench, the restless child who can't hold down the whip with his father just held back his strength and stayed quietly in front of Lin Ruhai, a patient, for a morning.

It wasn't until Daiyu walked in with lunch that Jia Cong almost jumped up and cheered for Sister Lin.

"Daddy has just refreshed a little bit, it's time to recuperate......"

Daiyu had a lot of opinions about Lin Ruhai robbing her student, glared at Jia Cong and complained: "My daughter finally became a master, and before she could enjoy it, Brother Cong was snatched away by you." ”

As she spoke, Daiyu showed her little tiger teeth at Jia Cong and glanced at him menacingly.

Jia Cong immediately said: "Yes, yes, uncle, I'll learn from Sister Lin." Let you, the Tanhualang, teach me, that's really overkill. Sister Lin is very good...... Hey, hey, hey! ”

Lin Ruhai couldn't see what this little child meant, stroked his long beard and smiled slightly: "That's not good, your father said, let me supervise your studies these days, your sister Lin can't control this little monkey." ”

"My father is talking nonsense, I can listen to Sister Lin's words, Sister Lin said that if you go east, I will never go west. Sister Lin asked me to pick up the dog, I will never catch chickens! ”

Jia Cong patted his chest to express his absolute loyalty to Daiyu, and tugged on Daiyu's sleeve: "Sister Lin, you have to testify for me, I am really an obedient and good boy!" ”

"Yes, yes, Brother Cong is the most obedient!"

Daiyu stood on tiptoe with crooked eyebrows and eyes, and stroked Jia Cong's head, Jia Cong's eyes narrowed and grinned.

Lin Ruhai watched the interaction between the two sisters and brothers, and beckoned the two to him: "I know that Yu'er feels sorry for her father and doesn't want her father to be tired." But Daddy can't be idle, and occasionally being an old master can be regarded as a kind of rest. In this way, from tomorrow onwards, the two of you will come to Daddy's place together, how about Daddy tell you about history? ”

"Is what my uncle said true? Don't listen to the scriptures? ”

Talking about history, this is much more interesting than the scriptures. Jia Cong's most impatient thing is Jingyi, he has a good memory, and when the time comes, he will memorize it by rote and get through the boy's test.

However, the stories in the history books are more attractive, and it is extremely rare to have a great talent like Lin Ruhai to tell history.

In just two days of contact, Lin Ruhai can be regarded as figuring out the character of the nephew in front of him, and nodded with a smile and said: "The way of the imperial examination is first in the scriptures and righteousness, and the emphasis is on the strategy. And the most important thing in this strategy is to use the past to advise the present, and it is difficult to support a grand essay with only those things in the book. During your time in Jiangnan, I will lay the foundation for you, and when you return to Beijing, I will introduce you to a suitable teacher, and it will not be a problem to win the children's examination within two years. ”

Jia Cong hurriedly bowed down and bowed: "Nephew, thank you for your uncle's kindness!" ”

Lin Ruhai said that if he wants to introduce a suitable teacher, he must at least be a talent from a Jinshi. After all, my uncle was the fierce man who won Tanhualang in one fell swoop, and none of his friends of the same year was not a proud talent in the field.

Just the letters and posters that Jia Cong saw when he helped Lin Ruhai clean up the table in the past two days, he saw the names of several Hanlin scholars.

Daiyu saw that her father valued Jia Cong so much, and for some reason her heart was a little sour. Feeling that his favor was taken away like this, he pinched the soft flesh on Jia Cong's waist dissatisfiedly, moved his nose slightly, and hummed quietly.

"You're going to please Daddy......"

Jia Cong smiled, and whispered in Daiyu's ear while Lin Ruhai was washing: "I'm not thinking about inheriting my uncle's talents, so I can take the test to ask for marriage in the future......"

Dai Yuqiao's face flushed, and she pinched the soft flesh on Jia Cong's waist and turned it slightly: "You started talking nonsense again!" I'm calling you nonsense! ”

Hiss!

Jia Cong pretended to be in pain, and screamed. Then he whispered a word of begging again, and circled around the table to avoid Daiyu's pursuit of souls.

Just as Lin Ruhai finished washing, he looked up at the pair of children who were playing.

Although he was surprised why the daughter, who had always been virtuous, chased after her nephew and beat her, she still blamed softly: "Yu'er, why are you bullying Brother Cong again?" ”

Seeing that she had been caught, Daiyu couldn't explain it to her father, so she knocked Jia Cong's head angrily, stomped her feet and said, "Daddy, Brother Cong is talking nonsense again!" ”

"What did Brother Cong say?"

Hearing Lin Ruhai's questioning question, Jia Cong replied casually: "My nephew plans to take the Tanhualang exam in the future and come to ask my uncle for marriage!" ”
