Although Master Pardon successfully regained the power of Rongguo Mansion, Master Pardon is a filial son after all, so he has not let the old lady move out of Rongxi Hall, and he has always lived in the East Cross Courtyard.

This is also the few traces of decency left by Mrs. Rong Guotai.

East across the courtyard, main house.

Father and son were sitting around eating.

It's rare for the eldest son to come back once, so Jia Yu will take advantage of the eldest son's home to take the three of them to have a meal with him.

Especially when he saw that his three sons were all healthy and had their own careers and studies, the sense of accomplishment made him even more intoxicated.

Look, look at my three eldest children, but they are so good that they are better than the two of the second family!

Although the boss Jia Zhu has a good future, his body is not good, and he is a sick seedling.

The second Jia Baoyu is even more of a straw bag thing messing around in the fat powder pile, and he doesn't have much responsibility!

And what about these three good children?

Needless to say, the eldest son has achieved the achievements of the two ancestors of the two mansions.

The second son is also his eldest son, Jia Lian, who has also started a family, not only supported the stall of Rongguo Mansion with his daughter-in-law, but also took advantage of his eldest brother's door to enter the former military governor's mansion as a servant, and also has his own serious career. The only thing that Jia Yu is not very satisfied with is that he has only one daughter Jia Qiao in the years of marriage, and there is no heir to the title.

As for the third son, Jia Cong.

It's good to be alive and kicking, to be able to eat and drink.

This kid is still in school in Guozijian, although his grades are not very good, but they are okay, after all, not everyone can Yunwen Yunwu, except for those geniuses, others always have to make a choice between practicing martial arts and practicing Wen.

Jia Cong chose to practice martial arts, and it is said that he practiced very well, but after all, he has not been in actual combat, so it is really hard to say how it is.

"Big brother." Jia Cong, who seemed to be worried since he entered the door, put down his rice bowl before he had eaten a few bites of food, and looked at Jia Hui with some crampedness.

That cramped energy was just like when Jia Hui had just taken him into his home many years ago.

"Something to talk about."

Jia Hui also put down his rice bowl, looked at Jia Cong, who was panting for a long time to cheer himself up, and probably understood what he wanted to do.

"Ahem." Jia Cong cleared his throat, and carefully recalled the words written by Li Shao and then memorized by himself: "Big brother, I heard that the Dzungar Ministry has committed a crime against me."

"Getting to the point."

Listening to this tone, you don't need to ask to know that the words he wants to say must be memorized according to the paper, and the author doesn't have to look for it, as soon as he hears it, it was written for him by his brother-in-law Li Shao.

"Hey, hey." Jia Cong smiled a little embarrassedly, then took a deep breath, and his tone was unprecedentedly solemn: "Big brother, I want to go on the expedition with you!" ”

As soon as Jia Cong's words came out, he was really shocked by the father and son who were preparing to watch the play next to him, and hurriedly put down his job and prepared to persuade him not to look for death.

Isn't it good to be alive?

"Okay, I'm fine."

"No, no, what are you talking about, big brother? You let Brother Cong'er go to war as a half-grown child?

Yes, on weekdays, this kid really doesn't do anything and causes trouble for his family, but he won't die for his crimes! Jia Lian immediately retorted.

"Second brother, I'm seventeen."

"Shut up!" Jia Lian glared at Jia Cong fiercely, don't you know that brother, I'm saving your dog's life?

Dare to take the initiative to ask to go to the battlefield, I really don't know how to write dead words?

The country's eunuchs are all in vain!

is different from the original book, in this life, Jia Hui took Jia Cong to the county mansion to teach from childhood to adulthood, and Jia Lian often went to the county mansion to eat with his brother and sister-in-law before getting married, so even he and Jia Cong often met each other, and the relationship was very good.

He didn't want to receive the news of Jia Cong's death one day!

"No, second brother, I really want to go on a journey with my eldest brother!" Jia Cong was anxious all of a sudden, "The eldest brother has already achieved fame, and a prince of the country will definitely not be able to run after this battle." Second brother, you are the inheritor of our family's title, wait for the master to be gone!! ”

Jia Cong, who was slapped by the angry old father, screamed miserably, and almost fell off the chair after a stumble

Jia Lian didn't care about Jia Cong, who was being beaten by his old father, but turned his head and stared at Jia Hui: "Big brother, look, just this kid's unlucky appearance, can he come back on the battlefield?" ”

"You can't say that" picked up the bowl and grabbed another chopsticks and threw the bean sprouts into his mouth, chewed and swallowed his stomach, Jia Hui pointed at Jia Lian with chopsticks: "You think the battlefield is dangerous because you are born with a title to inherit, you don't need to go to the battlefield to play with your life."

But what about Brother Cong? ”

"Brother Cong" Jia Lian scratched his sideburns a little irritably, and wanted to say that with your merits, eldest brother, you can completely help Jia Congyin seal a small title, but he couldn't say it at all.

The eldest brother also has several of his own concubines who lack titles, and the eldest brother has no obligation to earn titles for Jia Cong!

"Got it?" Looking at Jia Lian, who looked distressed, Jia Hui smiled: "You have our heirloom title to inherit, and I am already a duke, and I have given future generations at least five generations of wealth, but what about Brother Cong?"

It can be said that there is nothing except the two family properties that should belong to him when the family is separated in the future.

He is not a scholar either, the imperial examination has nothing to do with him, and with his temperament, he will definitely not be willing for me to arrange an idle errand for him to live such an ordinary life."

"Ah what? And this kind of good thing? ”

Jia Cong, who had just gotten up because Jia Yu was tired, looked at Jia Hui with some surprise.

Jia Hui was silent, but his hand was getting closer and closer to his belt

"Don't don't, big brother, I was wrong, I shouldn't have skinned!" Jia Cong instantly became a ball.

"Heh, you thing" Jia Hui sneered, raised his foot and kicked Jia Cong to the ground again.

Ignoring Jia Cong, who was screaming exaggeratedly, Jia Hui turned his face and looked at Jia Yu and Jia Lian again: "Don't listen to his nonsense, if he really wants to eat and wait for death for the rest of his life, will he still practice martial arts desperately for ten years, rain or shine?" ”

Jia Hui pointed at Jia Cong, who was silent, with a grumpy face: "Don't look at this kid's hippie smile on weekdays, he doesn't have a positive face, but he is actually high-spirited, who do you think he usually fights with others?" A few years ago, the old prince of Linzi stayed in Xiaoshen and his family went to Beijing to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, but somehow there was a conflict with Wang Sun.

Brother Cong, why is it coming? ”

"Because the grandson scolded me for being a little maid! But I was obviously raised by my aunt! Jia Cong climbed back to the stool from the ground with some difficulty, rubbing his ass that had just been brutalized by his eldest brother and grinning.

Jia Yu wanted to speak and stopped, thinking that your mother actually didn't record the family tree, and she was really a maid in the same room, and there was nothing wrong with calling her a little maid in the strict sense.

But worried that this kid would say it against Tiangang's father, he laughed, shook his head and didn't squeak.

Forget it, if this kid can really follow his eldest brother to make some fame, then add it

"Do you hear that? In fact, it's not just him, your eldest brother and I have been scolded by those princes and grandsons of others since I was a child, and I am the same as his kid, no matter whose family you are the king and grandson or which nobleman, don't say anything about going up to fight and then talk about others!

So, it's rare to come across a battle that I'm in charge of, and since he wants to follow, I'm willing to give him this opportunity."

"And what if he dies on the battlefield?" Jia Lian interrupted Jia Hui's words, "Besides, there are so many elites in the nine sides, can you let him be sent to death for a half-year?" ”

"Bastard, his life is his life, so the life of the nine-sided soldiers is not life?"

"He's a nobleman of Rongguo Mansion!"

"I also crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood back then!"

Jia Lian glared angrily at Jia Hui, who had already squinted his eyes, and the atmosphere in the main hall gradually solidified.

Jia Yu was silent, it was not appropriate for him to say anything at this time.

The second Jia Lian is a brother and a brother, protecting his younger brother from going to the battlefield to find death.

The boss Jia Hui is thinking about Jia Cong's future and wants to give him a chance to climb up and earn a family business!

If he was on Jia Lian's side, not to mention whether Jia Cong, who had been robbed of the opportunity, would he hate himself, that is, the boss would not have a gap with him?

But if you stand Jia Hui, Jia Cong may die outside!

"Second brother, don't say it!"

Jia Cong no longer rubbed his buttocks, but stood up and bowed to Jia Lian very solemnly: "Second brother, you are worried about my life and death, my brother is very moved, you will never forget my good Jia Cong, but."

As soon as the word "but" came out, Jia Lian sighed in his heart, he knew that Jia Cong had made up his mind

"But my brother doesn't want to get a family property, and after that, he will eat on idleness and wait for death for the rest of his life!

Although the younger brother is seventeen this year, according to what the eldest brother said, the martial arts have been tempered with some heat, since the younger brother has the ability and opportunity to fight for a family business, the younger brother does not want to give up! ”

"Even if you die outside?" Jia Lian stared at Jia Cong with red eyes.

"Even if the sword is added to the battlefield and dies!" Jia Cong is categorical!

The lobby fell silent again.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, anyway, there is still some time before the expedition, Brother Cong, you should think about it again.

Let's eat first, the dishes are almost cold, and when we are done, we can go to the ancestral hall for a meeting! ”

At the critical moment, Jia Yu, the old father, came to play the round, and gave everyone the steps, Jia Hui and Jia Lian snorted coldly at each other, lowered their heads and picked up the bowl and continued to eat.

。。。。。。

Ningguo Mansion, ancestral hall.

The county prince called each other, and all the adult men of the Jia family who had already had dinner at this hour had arrived, and at this moment, they were sitting on the rows of benches placed in the courtyard in front of the ancestral hall with acquaintances, muttering something quietly, waiting for the county prince to come.

Different from those outsiders called "Grand Governor", "Great General", and "Taiwei", the clansmen of the Jia family, especially the literary generation and peers older than Jia Hui, usually call Jia Hui "County Gong".

As a serious elder, the generation can call "Brother Hun" and "Jinyu", but the two generations of Wen and Yu are almost meaningless, close relatives like Jia Zheng are fine, but those who are farther away are not very good to rely on the old and sell the old as the elders.

Without him, the identity gap is too big.

If Jia Hui is a fourth- or fifth-grade official, then he will naturally be called by his name, but people not only made him a county duke, but he was even worshiped by the imperial court as a captain, so it would not be good to call him by his name.

After thinking about it, everyone began to call Jia Hui like "Lao Ningguo" and "Lao Rongguo".

Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, father and son, also sat quietly on the chairs in the first row with the elders of the "generation" generation.

In fact, when everyone was notified, they knew what the county prince wanted to say to everyone.

Especially the older people are more familiar

Back then, when the two uncles/grandfathers and the second brother/second uncle were preparing to go to war, this was how they summoned the children of the Jia family to follow them to serve as soldiers!

"Tsk, it's a battle." A middle-aged man named Jia Wei who exuded a fierce atmosphere said to his friends with some emotion.

Jia Hui, the shopkeeper of the largest butcher shop on Ningrong Street, specializes in selling the chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep raised in Jia Hui's Zhuangzi.

is bold and very righteous, and he has saved some money by selling meat, so he is also a person who has the right to speak in the entire Jia family.

The friends around him nodded approvingly: "Isn't it?" The last time I went out to fight was the Northern Expedition seven or eight years ago, right? It's a pity that Jiangnan didn't take our turn to suppress the rebellion, but the group of people who cheapened Jinling."

"Hey, that's when the county prince went to Jiangnan on business, I met that group of people who really couldn't find it, if you want to talk about martial arts and loyalty, don't you have to be our Bafang clan in Beijing?" Jia Yu patted his chest with exposed chest hair and patted it vigorously, "By the way, are you going this time?" ”

The friend patted his right leg expressionlessly: "Which fucking pot you don't open and which pot to mention, don't you have a number in your heart about how Lao Tzu's lame leg is?" ”

"Hey, hey." Jia Yu snorted and didn't speak again.

This lame leg has changed his life!

But since then, he has taken the meat from his butcher's shop.

"But the eldest of my family is also sixteen, and Mrs. Jiao said that he also has some things in his hands that can be out of the school, so I am ready to let him go to the battlefield to have a future, and he will be a better person in the future." The friend rubbed his right leg and said.

"You just get used to him, the young man is arrogant and doesn't know how to be diligent and thrifty, why should he marry a daughter-in-law not only virtuous, but beautiful and virtuous, and I don't want to think about whether this kind of good family can take his turn?" Jia Yi pursed his lips, his eldest nephew is good, he is filial and hardworking, but he really doesn't have a clear understanding of himself when marrying a daughter-in-law.

"That's why he went out to fight and have a future! Life and death are fateful, and if you come back alive with military merits, then you can become an official and marry a good wife.

If he comes back alive and has no military merits, he can also settle down and live a good life after seeing the battlefield.

If you can't come back." The friend sighed a little wistfully.

Then you can only train the second child.

Jia Yi raised his eyebrows and glared at his friend: "Fart!" My eldest nephew is blessed with a great life, you can rest assured, with me, who is an uncle, and his brother will take care of him, and he will appoint all the beards and tails to come back! ”

"It's just that your father and son are taking care of me, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back."

"Fuck off!" Jia Yan slapped his friend's thigh angrily, scolded angrily, and turned his head away from wanting to deal with this person anymore.

There was a sudden commotion outside the ancestral hall, and the people of the Jia family looked over one after another, and after recognizing a few people, they all quickly stood up
