Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 308 The little niece is back!

Jia Cong hasn't felt red-eyed yet, but the old lady and Mr. Jing are red-eyed.

This little bastard in my family is getting fatter and fatter, and even dares to go to the Beijing camp to fight with the Qian family's personal soldiers.But if there is an emergency, no matter if it is an old lady or a gentleman, how can they explain to Jia She, who is thousands of miles away.

Jia Cong, who was happy to return to Rongguo Mansion, was hung on the big tree in the courtyard of Rongxi Hall by the cold-faced Master Jing before he could show off to his sisters.

The old lady whipped the rough-skinned and thick-skinned little fat man several times with her crutches, pointed at Jia Zheng and others and cursed: "You are all used to it, lawless, really lawless... None of you are allowed to let him go, and whoever dares to intercede with him, hang with him!"

Jia Cong was hanged from a tree to reflect, and Jia Shiyi and other soldiers were also punished.Except for Jia Shishi, who was slightly injured, all of them were punished and fined half a year's salary.

Liu Xianglian was called over by the old lady and scolded bloody. In the end, even Princess Cui of Zhongshun was alarmed, and she came to Rongguo Mansion to take Liu Xianglian back, saying that she would be taught by Prince Zhongshun Liu Ke personally.

However, Dongping County Prince’s Mansion had no choice but to accept the battle invitation. The life-and-death battle should still be fought. Master Jing ordered the two mansions not to let Jia Cong go out of the mansion.

Jia Cong was drowsy while being hung on a tree. The autumn wind was so comfortable that he snored before he knew it...

"Ah sneeze!"

His nose was so itchy, Jia Cong opened his eyes in a daze, and the cat teasing stick in Xiao Xichun's hand was poking his nostrils.

Seeing Jia Cong wake up, showing two little tiger teeth: "Third brother, you are finished..."

"What's the end?"

Jia Cong twisted his somewhat stiff body, swinging on the swing.

Xiao Xichun pouted at Rongxitang: "Hey, His Majesty sent someone to find the old ancestor, saying that you are too nonsense, and you will be beaten and fined."

Just as he was talking, the old acquaintance Xia Shouzhong walked over with a smile accompanied by the old lady.

"Hey, isn't this our mighty man, General Jia, why is he hanging here on a swing?"

Good with you is good with you, if you pierce my heart, be careful and I will scold you!
Jia Cong slandered Xia Shouzhong who was teasing him a few times in his heart, but he saw Xia Shouzhong nodded at the old lady, approached and whispered to Jia Cong: "Good job, the emperor asked our family to come over and talk to Mrs. Tai, don't worry about the lack of manpower. In two days, the palace will send enshrined priests to stay in Rongguo Mansion temporarily. They can fight vigorously and procrastinate. We can't let Dongping Palace have time to take care of Liaodong's affairs."

"Of course, you kid can't do it by yourself again. This time, the Qian family was unprepared and let you take advantage of it. It may not be the case next time."

Xia Shouzhong bowed his hands to the old lady: "Mrs. Tai looks at General Jia, the Qian family is not only as simple as it looks on the surface, the old prince left a lot of people for the Qian family back then. These days, let General Jia stay in the mansion and study well, don't go out to shine."

"I understand, thank you father-in-law for reminding me."

The old lady nodded in response, and glared at her worried grandson.

Xia Shouzhong smiled and said goodbye, along with Jia Cong's one-year salary.

……

As Xia Shouzhong said, although the heritage of the Dongping County Palace has been consumed by Qian Kangshi's 30-year misfortune, the heritage left by the old Dongping King is also enough to hang many noble mansions in Beijing.

Originally, in order to prevent fear in the palace, a group of dead soldiers from the palace who had to lurk in the palace were transferred to the capital.

After Qian Kangshi's condition stabilized, he immediately ordered to find an opportunity to assassinate and humiliate him Liu Xianglian, Jia Cong and even Jia Baoyu who caused the incident.

This is actually already a broken rule, but Qian Kangshi is already crazy.

Coupled with the distorted personality of Qian Kun behind the bewitching, the secret guards of the Dragon Guards sent news that the spies from the Dongping County Prince's Mansion had entered Dashi Yongfang, waiting for an opportunity at any time, planning to deal a fatal blow to Ningrong Jia's family.

Jia Cong, who had been hung on a tree for a whole day, learned his lesson this time. From the second day on, he stayed at the gate of Rongguo Mansion without leaving the gate, reading, practicing calligraphy, teasing cats, cooking, and doing nothing else, which made the old lady feel relieved.

Teacher Lin's students have increased from Jia Cong to four. Except for Yingchun and Tanchun, who need to embroider and weave wedding dresses, five desks will be set up in the study of Dongkuayuan every morning.

After Daiyu taught Jia Cong and Baoyu the classics and history, she had to worry about enlightening Xichun and Jialan.

Seven days later, Master Jing suddenly appeared on the grounds of the Beijing Camp University, carrying a knife and leading a group of soldiers to chop melons and vegetables, and slaughtered the "godsons and grandsons" carefully prepared by the Qian family.

Then he threw a post to Qian Kun, and said with a contemptuous look: "Ningrong Jia's family, Jia Lan, brought a life-and-death battle to the Dongping County Palace, Qian Kun, should I accept it or not?"

Jalan?This name is so strange?

When Qian Kun figured out that Jia Lan was just a four-year-old kid, he was completely dumbfounded.

Only then did he understand the reason why Jia Cong suddenly launched a life-and-death battle last time. He really planned to fight his family to the end without dying.

On another seven days, the Qian family sent ten of the deadliest soldiers on the field, planning to launch a wave of sniper attacks to stabilize the situation.I don't want the Jia family to play this time, except for the leader Jia Si, the rest are all new faces.

The battle situation was the same as the previous two times. The members of the Qian family were crushed and beaten, and they all died on the stage in just a quarter of an hour.Afterwards, Jia Si once again threw a battle post to the Qian family, and this time the challenger changed his name again: Rong Guohou Shizi, Jia Lian!
This was no longer a simple conflict. Qian Kang was paralyzed, but his mind was much clearer.

After listening to the chief steward's detailed report, the fear in my heart has reached the extreme.

"No, these people don't know how to fight on the battlefield. What they practice is to control the enemy with one move. Such masters can only be found there!"

Qian Kangshi struggled and raised his hand, holding Wei's hand: "Mother, hurry up, go invite the king of Xining... The Jia family is just the knife in his hand, the saint, the saint has abandoned our family!"

……

The Prince's Mansion of Dongping County accepted the challenge, but they pushed the date of the challenge to mid-October on the grounds that the master was injured and sick and unable to fight for a while.

Master Jing, who presided over the two mansions, swiped his pen and signed the life-and-death contract, and began to carefully train the soldiers of the two mansions, and also called the twenty master priests sent by the palace to one place, and asked them to perform military formations with the soldiers.

With the dead leaves falling with the autumn wind, Jia Cong finally escaped from Mr. Lin's "claw" and sat at the gate of Rongguo Mansion with Bao Erye, becoming the No. [-] and No. [-] stone lions of Rongguo Mansion.

blah blah blah...

The two bored eyes lit up at the same time, and they got up and looked towards the intersection of Ningrong Street.

"Second brother is back!"

"Sister Feng is back!"

The two suddenly looked at each other and smiled: "The little niece is back!"

What kind of second brother and second sister-in-law, how can there be a little niece!

A group of people gathered around the little milk baby who was spitting bubbles on the bed, their brains huddled together, discussing in low voices who the little milk baby was more like.

Jia Lian was called to the study by Mr. Jing, while Wang Xifeng was dragged by the old lady to talk.

After a while, the little milk baby woke up and burst into tears.

"This kid has a loud voice and a healthy body."

The old lady has raised too many children, and she skillfully teased the little milk baby, and the baby started giggling after a while.

Seeing that the old lady liked her daughter very much, Wang Xifeng felt uneasy.She used to think that her first child would be rejected if she didn't have a handlebar. She didn't want the old lady in Beijing or the father-in-law in southern Xinjiang to send a lot of supplements and treasures to Jinling.

Especially Mr. Xi, who got boxes of pearls, jade and gemstones from nowhere, saying that he failed to bring them back, and these were all full moon gifts for his granddaughter.

Wang Xifeng was chatting and laughing with the old lady, and the door came to report that there were two people, an old man and a young man, who came to see Lian's second grandmother, and the man said that they were members of the Wang family.

This is really strange, members of the Wang family actually came to the Rongguo Mansion to ask to see Wang Xifeng, instead of going to the county magistrate's mansion to see Uncle Wang.

"What a coincidence, someone came to see you just after you came back, so let's go and see you."

The old lady became curious, and it was the grandson and daughter-in-law who brought the great-granddaughter back to the house. She was very happy and told Wang Xifeng to go and have a look.

When the servant girl brought the old and the young into the mansion, Wang Xifeng saw the two of them in her own room.

After she found out that Grandma Liu's family was just distant relatives who had a family tree with the Wang family, they had no way to come to the capital to ask for help due to the drought and crop failure this year, so they wanted to give some money and food to pass the matter away, but Grandma Liu accidentally mentioned something that caught her attention.

She asked Ping'er to find Jia Cong, and seeing that the grandfather and grandson were still hungry, she ordered the kitchen to bring a table of meals...

"Grandma Liu came to the capital from Wang Pingkou? Wouldn't it take two or three days to walk?"

After Jia Cong came, he asked about the residence of Grandma Liu's family, and asked in surprise as he looked at the board holding the bowl and slammed the rice.

Although Grandma Liu said she was hungry, she still cared about the nobleman's impression, so she put down her chopsticks: "Your nobleman, have you been to Wangpingkou? You didn't walk for two days, but you met a nice family on the way and took their carriage. Otherwise, the old lady would have to take her grandson for three or four days."

If it wasn't for the imminent shortage of food and no supply, Grandma Liu would not be willing to let her grandson suffer this pain.Even last night, their grandparents also spent the night in a mountain temple, and endured a hard night.

Grandma Liu didn't hide it, she deliberately picked up the difficulties on the road and told Jia Cong that if it can make the nobles feel sorry for them, it would be good to borrow more money and food.

Jia Cong was indeed pitiful, but not only for the grandparents and grandchildren in front of him, but for Wang Pingkou who had suffered.

Since the initiative of the Beijing Camp brigade to clear up the banditry in Gyeonggi last year, it is rare to hear that there will be people under the emperor's feet suffering from banditry.

However, bandits are not always the ones who harm people with swords.

Wangpingkou belongs to Fangshan County, and the drought was severe this spring. Wangpingkou is also at the foot of the West Mountain, so the land output is not high.After paying this year's autumn tax in August, there was not much food left, but it was enough to survive until next spring.

Unexpectedly, at the beginning of last month, the fields of the people in three villages, including Grandma Liu's family, were flooded.

The drought in the north this year is severe, so where did the flood come from?There is a river on the north side of Wangpingkou, named Qianhe, which lasts for many years.

On the seventh day of September, the dry river suddenly burst its embankment, flooding a large amount of surrounding land.Xiaowangzhuang, where Grandma Liu's family lives, is by the dry river, and the house was soaked overnight by the water overflowing from the embankment.

Things like food that cannot see water, even if a lot of them are recovered, they have already become moldy and cannot be eaten.

The head of the village in Wang Pingkou "showed kindness" and allowed the people in the village to mortgage their land and borrow grain to survive.

Nine times out and thirteen times out, it is estimated that by the time the grain is repaid, most of Wang Pingkou's land will be owned by the elder.

"The old lady knows that this is a way to survive, but the old lady also knows that without the land, the son-in-law's family may become slaves to the head of the village."

How did Grandma Liu's family lose?It's not that the son got involved in gambling, sold the land of the family, and finally died in the casino.

Those who have no land can't fill the stomachs of the whole family as tenants.In the end, he could only sell his family into the Li Chang's family and become his family's slaves in exchange for a bowl of rice.

But Ban'er is smart, and she still wants to send her grandson to school in two years to fight for it.

"Although the chief is also from the royal family, he is a decent member of the county magistrate's mansion. The old lady once gave up her face to ask the chief, but... oh! After thinking about it, the old woman can only come to ask the second grandma. Back then, the old man had a family relationship with the old man, and he asked the second grandma to look at the old man's face and give him a little. The old woman can't just watch the signing of the contract and lose the face of the ancestors."

The grand master that Grandma Liu spoke of was Wang Xifeng's biological father, who was originally the true heir of the Wang family.

Wang Xifeng saw that Grandma Liu was crying, and she was about to move the chair and kneel down for her, so she hurriedly supported her and said, "Grandma has already said this, how can I watch you starve and sell yourself as slaves? Let's not talk about this for now, seeing that the children are too frightened to eat. Your grandparents are eating. I'll send someone to prepare some food and send you back when the time comes."

In order to prevent grandma Liu and grandson from feeling uncomfortable, Wang Xifeng and Jia Cong went to another place, leaving only Ping'er to eat in the house.

"Brother Cong, I have an impression of the commander of Wang Pingkou. He was the leader of my father's personal army back then."

When Wang Xifeng said this, Jia Cong understood why he was called here.I originally thought that Wang Xifeng was talking about the strangeness of the dike breaking, but I didn't want to ask him to help her find out about her father's death in battle.

After Jia Cong nodded, he asked suspiciously, "Sister-in-law won't tell the second brother about this?"

"Of course you have to tell your second brother about it."

Wang Xifeng rubbed Jia Cong's head skillfully, and said quietly: "But we can't investigate it clearly. Mr. Qingteng is very aware of the fact that the embankment of the Wang Pingkou Ganhe burst. Why don't you ask Mr. Qingteng to investigate this matter..."

Jia Cong still had a good impression of Grandma Liu's family. Because of his father, Wang Xifeng asked the stewards in the house to prepare three carriages. Food, cloth, meat and other things were enough for their family to get through this predicament safely.

"Grandma has hidden the money. I dare not give you too much food at one time. If it is not enough, you can send someone to deliver a letter, or come directly to the mansion to find me."

Of course, Grandma Liu knew what Wang Xifeng meant. If there was too much food and the people in the village knew they would come to borrow food, would she borrow it or not?
However, the 20 taels of silver, even if the food was washed away by the flood, was enough for their family to survive for a few days and come to the capital for help.

Jia Cong also took out his purse, poured out more than ten taels of broken silver, and stuffed it to Grandma Liu: "The old man also said that he is smart, so don't delay. You take this money and let him go to the school to enlighten him. By the way, Uncle Shiyi, go to the study to get a set of Four Books and Five Classics, and then pack some pens, ink, paper and inkstone..."

"No way, no way, the money given by Second Mistress is enough."

Grandma Liu was not a greedy person, seeing that Jia Cong was giving money and books and pens and ink, she refused again and again.

Jia Cong forced it to her, turned around and left: "Sister-in-law gave it to her, and it's from the young master, take it! Okay, sister-in-law, I'll go back and play with my elder sister first, and Uncle Eleven will deliver the things later."

Wang Xifeng grabbed Grandma Liu who was about to kneel down again, and smiled: "Brother Cong has plenty of money, the sage and His Majesty bestow gold and silver from the sky, he can't spend all the money, and you will accept what he gives you."

Grandma Liu looked at Jia Cong, who was "tyrannical and domineering" walking towards the mansion, and sighed gratefully: "The old lady has heard the name of a nobleman in the village. People say that Lord Yumao will be the prime minister in the future. Then we common people will be blessed!"

……

The old lady likes her great-granddaughter who is holding her finger and giggling. She feels that her eldest sister is destined for her, and she has already let Yuanyang fetch a lot of jade and jewelry from her collection.

Seeing Jia Cong come back, he curiously asked about Grandma Liu.

Jia Cong shortened the part and roughly said it. Everyone in the room was surprised that the Wang family had such poor relatives.

The old lady was well-informed and said with a sigh: "Wang Pingkou does have members of the Wang family, and there are still a few members of the Wang family who have not yet issued five uniforms. When the country was founded, our family also thought about letting some clansmen divide the clan and move out of the city, but the ancestors were worried that this group of fighters who would only fight their lives on the battlefield would have a hard time leaving the mansion, so they opened two streets under the West Corridor, and placed all the clansmen together. Now it seems that the ancestors still see far away."

The old lady actually concealed a little reason for saying this. If they are far away, how can the Ningrong and Rongfu control the clansmen?Wu Xun was able to control the army in the army, and it was indispensable for the tribe to enter the barracks as a sergeant to support the main family, otherwise the speed of decline would be almost exponentially faster.

"Since you have come to our family, and you are relatives who have been connected with Feng girl and her father, let people look after you more."

The old lady picked up the elder sister and kissed her, and said with a smile: "It is a rare fate to accumulate blessings for our elder sister. By the way, Brother Cong, don't be idle, go and see the clansmen in the west corridor. If you encounter difficulties, don't save money. Our Jia family is not like their Wang family. The clan members are going to starve to death. They are good, and they won't even let in the door!"

Jia Cong slapped his head, the old lady is amazing!
What a great opportunity, if you don't take advantage of it, you will be sorry for Grandma Liu who came here with her grandson suffering.

When Jia Cong brought a string of carts to deliver food and rice to the tribesmen under the west corridor, a new wave of gossip started in the teahouses and restaurants in the capital.

One is that Du Taiwei ruled the county government, regardless of the life and death of relatives, and turned away old women and children who asked for help from thousands of miles away.Some people still couldn't see it, and pointed out the way for them, and asked the second grandma Lian of Rongguo Mansion who had just returned to Beijing.

Lian's second grandma was sending food, cloth, and money, and she was escorted all the way, and she was sent home safely in a carriage.

The second is even more meaningful. Ningrong Jia's family made tiles for the joy, and the grand lady of Rongguo Mansion sent Master Yumao to send warmth to the relatives and accumulate blessings for the eldest sister.

This person is afraid of comparison.For a time, the old lady's reputation rose rapidly, and she was catching up with the merciful and compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.

It was Wang Xifeng, who had a bad reputation for lending usury earlier, but this time, thanks to Grandma Liu, she became a kind person praised by everyone!
