Chapter 245: Good News Comes from the South
Jia Lian's letter was written half a month ago, and it was sent to the capital with the official document of the Dragon Guard, and Cao Jiugong asked his henchmen to send it to the Rongguo Mansion in person early this morning.
The old lady was still having fun in front of the imperial city, and the old lady was invited to drink by his colleagues in the Ministry of Industry today, and the old lady read Jia Lian's letter three times, and finally felt that Cong was more reliable.
Alas, there are still too few people in the family.
The old lady glanced at Baoyu, who was playing with her sister and sister, smiled helplessly, and asked Mandarin Duck to go to the East Cross Courtyard to see if Jia Cong had woken up.
As soon as the mandarin duck lifted the curtain, he saw that Jia Cong had already stepped into the Rongxi Hall with one foot.
"Old lady, the third master is here."
"Grandson to the old lady to say goodbye, hey, the big sister is also there~"
Greeting the salute, Jia Cong sat on the chair in front of him according to the old lady's instructions.
"Your second brother sent a letter from Jinling, saying that the Feng girl was happy, and that he wanted the family to send someone to the doctor over......
The old lady's expression was quite serious, it was said that Wang Xifeng was pregnant, which was a great joy, but she read the sinister of Jinling City from Jia Lian's letter.
Jinling is the ancestral land of the Jia family, and Jinling has twelve members of the Jia family, so Jia Lian had to ask for help from his family, seeking a safe man and a doctor.
The more the old lady thought about it, the more frightened she became, pursed her lips and asked solemnly, "Brother Cong, you stayed in Jinling for a lot of days last year, you tell me the truth, Lian'er and Feng Yatou are in Jinling, isn't it dangerous?"
Jia Cong hastily read the letter, happy and worried.
He looked left and right at the girls who had stopped playing, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.
If Jia Lian is still the general of the Ping Japanese army, Jinling is the dream land of the wind and snow.
But he is now the envoy of the Dragon Guard, Jinling, and he will also be a thorn in the side of many people when he holds great power.
Back then, Lin Ruhai was the imperial history of Yangzhou Salt Patrol, and the emperor ordered him to be poor, how many people in Jiangnan could be bigger than him? But because he touched the interests of others, he was almost ruined.
With the lessons of the past, can Jia Lian not be afraid to worry?
He is in his twenties, and his wife is pregnant, if it weren't for the fact that the sky is high and the road is far away, he can't wait to send Wang Xifeng home directly.
"That's it, I'll just say that in a place as big as Jiangnan, where can't even find a doctor, someone in Jinling must want to harm Lian'er and them......
I have to say that the old lady has come to her senses, and there are few housewives in the capital who can fight.
Jia Lian's words are all good news but not bad news, but she relied on decades of experience in wind and rain to see that something was wrong.
Yuan Chun shook the old lady's hand and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, grandmother, since Lian'er didn't mention anything bad in the letter, it proves that the moment is quite stable. And now that he has an important position, no one will lose his mind and easily poison the dragon guards."
The old lady did not agree with Yuan Chun's opinion, she remembered what happened to her daughter Jia Min......
Alas!
"Yuan'er, Lian'er didn't even dare to live in the old house in Jinling, and lived directly in the Zhenfu Division, can't you explain the problem?"
Jia Cong was impressed with the old lady today, if she could have been as shrewd as she is today a few years ago, with her face in the Emperor Taishang, where would Ning Rong and the two mansions have such a difficult time.
"Brother Cong......"
The old lady suddenly turned her head and said to Jia Cong, "You are concerned about the doctor's affairs, go to the Tai Hospital more in the past two days, and see if there are a few old adults who can have apprentices to use, no matter how much it costs, try to invite two more." There are also capable soldiers in the palace, choose the right ones to prepare to go south."
Jia Cong nodded: "Okay, tomorrow my grandson will go to the Tai Hospital to have a look, if it doesn't work, my grandson will go to the Fourth Highness for help."
"There are also stable mothers and nurses who have to find them in advance...... Forget it, this has to be our own family."
The old lady thought about it, and the regrets of the early years made her very alert. People outside may be bought, but their own family members are more at ease.
She looked at the sky, just after the hour.
"Mandarin duck, you go to the West Corridor and invite the fifth daughter-in-law and Brother Yun to come over, and say that I have something important to tell them."
Well?
Jia Cong figured out the old lady's plan in a blink of an eye, Brother Yun'er's mother and son in Xilang are the Jia family's own family, and Brother Yun'er's mother Jia Cong has to be called the fifth sister-in-law.
The fifth sister-in-law lost her husband at an early age, and she brought up Jia Yun alone, she is honest and loyal, and she is a careful person, so it is most suitable to go to Jinling to take care of Wang Xifeng.
And Jia Yun is smart, can speak, and is a person who can do things and can do things. If Rongguo Mansion allowed him a future and let him go to Jia Lian to serve, I think that the mother and son would not be easily tempted by the temptation outside.
When Mandarin Duck invited Jia Yun's mother and son, except for Jia's mother, Yuan Chun, Mrs. Xing and Jia Cong, the rest of Rongxi Hall had already dispersed.
The fifth sister-in-law's maiden name is Zhang, and her husband Jia Chen died of illness when Jia Yun was one year old, and their orphans and widows can survive.
The assistance of the two mansions of Ningrong and the money and food sent every year cannot be very rich, but in this capital where every inch of land is valuable, it is enough to raise Jia Yun as an adult, and he can also learn the ability to read and write for free in the clan science.
That's right, people who can read and break words, as long as they are willing to give up their face and endure hardships, it is not difficult to marry a wife and have children to support a large family.
Jia Yun was smarter than her mother, and as soon as she came in, she knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady and Yuan Chun and Mrs. Xing, and the auspicious words were one after another.
even kowtowed to Jia Cong, saying that the third uncle was a little more heroic......
"Brother Yun hurriedly helped your mother up, how can there be so many politeness."
The old lady was very satisfied with the etiquette of Jia Yun's mother and son, and motioned for her to sit down and speak. Although Zhang was born in the countryside, he was also born in a scholar's family, and his words were well organized. After following Jia's mother's greetings and saying some homely things, I listened to Jia's mother's invitation.
"Daughter-in-law Chen, I don't feel at ease to let others go, there are not many people in our family, and I can only bother your mother and son to go south to help. Don't worry, this trip to the mansion will not treat your mother and son badly, it just so happens that Brother Yun is also older, so let him go to Lian'er to serve, and he will have a half-official position in the future, which can be regarded as having a future."
The old lady's promise made Jia Yun overjoyed, and she couldn't wait to kneel down and kowtow to the old lady a few times.
Zhang smiled and replied: "The old ancestor said that these are shameful granddaughters-in-law, not to mention that our orphans and widows have survived over the years, and Brother Yun has been able to grow up, all of them rely on the help of the house and the ancestors. Besides, the happiness of the second grandmother is a major event in our family, how can the Jia family not contribute? The ancestor is also relieved, and the granddaughter-in-law will go back to pack her things......
Hearing her mother say this, Jia Yun immediately recovered her senses from the joy, and said extremely seriously: "Mother is right, I am also surnamed Jia, and I will do my best when I go to Jinling!"
"Brother Yun is seventeen, can the fifth sister-in-law show each other?"
Yuan Chun suddenly changed the topic, and a sentence would make Jia Yun, who patted her chest and expressed her position, blush.
Zhang Shi was stunned, and then sighed: "As the saying goes, start a family, but Brother Yun still doesn't even have a proper business, how dare you delay other girls."
Yuan Chun smiled and said, "Brother Yun is the best brother in our family, so we have to bother to find a suitable daughter-in-law. In this way, let Lian'er find an errand for Brother Yun in the Dragon Guard, even if it is a scribe with no grade, it can be regarded as having a serious business. There are many beautiful girls in Jiangnan, just with Brother Yun's appearance, I'm afraid I won't find a good daughter-in-law?"
With Yuan Chun's words, the atmosphere in Rongxi Hall instantly warmed up, and everyone was amused.
In fact, Jia Yun's status is not low, although it is only a branch of the Jia family, but it is also a son of Wuxun, a nobleman who is a serious child.
There is a member of the Ning Rongjia family on his head, and he can get a lot of money and food from the clan every year even if he doesn't do anything, where can he not get a wife.
In the final analysis, Zhang felt that his son would definitely have a future in the future, and he wanted to find a daughter-in-law who could help his son.
No matter what Jia Yun says, he is also a member of the Jia family, the door is here, it is really not easy to find a suitable one, after all, he has no serious errands to make a living, and the right people may not be able to take a fancy to him, they can take a fancy to him, Zhang
He felt that the other party's identity was not enough.
This delay has delayed Jia Yun's marriage to this day, and sometimes the Zhang family also feels that she has extravagant hopes, but looking at her son's talent, she is unwilling.
Alas, it was the family that dragged down the son, and if her husband Jia Chen was still alive, how could his family be so difficult.
Talking and laughing, Lala is homely, and the matter of Jia Yun's mother and son going south is temporarily decided.
When Jia Cong sent him out of the house, he deliberately grabbed Jia Yun and said, "Brother Yun, remember to come to me tomorrow evening, I have something to tell you."
As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket and stuffed it into Jia Yun's hand, and Jia Yun looked down and saw that it was one hundred taels of silver.
"Third uncle, what are you ......?"
"How can you go out without some silver, take this hundred taels first, and prepare more useful things in these two days."
One hundred taels of silver is nothing to Jia Cong, but Jia Yun has the help of the clan, and she hasn't saved much money over the years.
Originally, he was still thinking about whether to find someone to borrow some money when he went south, but he didn't want Jia Cong to even take this into account.
Thinking of this, Jia Yun's heart was greatly moved, Jia Cong saw that his eyes were slightly red, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Go back quickly, remember to come to me after the past two days, I have something to tell you." Let's go~"
After speaking, he didn't wait for Jia Yun to respond, turned around and went back to the mansion.
Seeing that Jia Cong had returned to the mansion, Zhang Shi walked closer and patted his son's arm: "Go back, it's better to be more attentive in the future." If you have this opportunity, you will be able to make a difference in the future, and you will not forget the kindness of the house, especially the old lady."
Jia Yun's nose twitched, and she snorted in response. He helped his mother to walk slowly to Xilang's house, and the mother and son whispered about the south, and occasionally laughed heartily about the happiness of the future......
Ding, ding, ding......
The morning bell and dusk drums, the Mao clock rang, Jia Cong was originally bedridden, but he heard the little maid Ruyi say in his ear that Yuan Chun was summoned in the garden, so he dressed and washed in a daze.
It is said that children are mostly in bed, especially when it is cold in early winter, but before Jia Cong has time to eat, he hears the sound of chattering in the courtyard.
As soon as he opened the door, two doughnuts plunged into his arms.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Before Jia Cong could see that it was a figure, he was hit and coughed repeatedly, and when he looked down, he saw that it was Xiao Xichun and Xiao Chun'er.
Don't these two girls sleep lazy?
I saw two little girls wearing pink winter clothes of the same color today, staring at him with big eyes.
"Third brother, let's go catch sparrows and play!"
Well?
Catch sparrows, catch sparrows, why are you two sucking saliva?
"Last night, the second sister said that the sparrows roasted by the third brother are fragrant!"
As soon as Xichun talked about eating, Chun'er hugged Jia Cong's arm and exposed two small dimples: "Third brother, eat, eat......
?Pass?? Referral ticket?
