Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 288 The Love of One Sword

Princess Ruyi couldn't help but sneer, she hurriedly covered her mouth to hide her smile, suppressed her smile, and hummed: "You two girls, I raised them for you, how can you thank me?"

Jia Cong glanced at Qingwen and Qianxue, who had already lowered their heads shyly.

"Princess, it's hard for Cong to repay her kindness, but she has a destiny and will go through fire and water without hesitation." Jia Cong cupped his hands and said sternly.

Ru saw that his expression was solemn, and he was happy in his heart. He smiled and said: "Who can't tell big words? Now that you are a super-grade earl, who else but the father would dare to let you go through fire and water? It is not honest at all."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Your Highness the Princess, everything goes as she wishes. I don't think I need the help of my ministers, it's just a thought.

This cong was obtained from Liaodong. I have carried it with me for several years and never left it. I just wanted to find an opportunity to present it to His Highness. I found it just right today. Please accept it. "As he spoke, he took out a string of top-quality Dongzhu necklaces that he had just put on his body before going out.

Princess Ruyi was happy with her eyebrows, but she didn't notice that there were many loopholes in his words. She pretended to be reserved and said: "This thing is very valuable. It is rare to see it in Shenjing. I have no merit and no reward. You can give it to Sister Bao or Just my sister."

Jia Cong gave the two men a "no wonder" look, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, swords are given to martyrs, and pearls are given to beauties. There is only one cong of this kind. Whether it is given to Sister Bao or Qi'er, there is no guarantee that the other person will not fall. , only the character and beauty of Her Royal Highness the Princess can convince the public."

"Nonsense." Princess Ruyi pursed her lips and smiled, which was very helpful. It seems that Jia Cong is not blind.

Open your eyes and tell lies! There was only one string, but he had obviously sent two strings back to the two of them last time. Baochai and Daiyu knew that he was cunning, so when they saw him using themselves as rafts in front of him, they even rolled their eyes at him in anger, and had to Cooperate with him.

"Sister, what Cong'er said is absolutely true. Just accept it reluctantly. This is also a sign of his gratitude. Otherwise, others would still call him ungrateful," Baochai said.

"Sister, Brother Cong's string of beads is worthy of my sister. If you don't wear it and let others wear it, wouldn't it be a waste of natural resources?" Daiyu said with a smile.

After hearing what the two said, Princess Ruyi "reluctantly" accepted it. Suddenly she saw that Jia Cong's waist was empty and asked suspiciously: "Where is your sword?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Give it away."

"How come you, a man like you, give away your weapons to others indiscriminately?" Ruyi frowned slightly and rolled her eyes at him.

Baochai smiled quickly and said, "I gave it to Brother Huan to thank him for being smart and courageous and saving Qingwen."

"I see. I've seen this kid Jia Huan. He's really smart. He's ten times better than that guy in your family who's as precious as jade." Ruyi said with a smile.

"Your Highness is aware of everything and what he said is accurate." Jia Cong said with a smile.

Daiyu covered her mouth and looked at Jia Cong with a smile. Can't you see the obvious love for Wu and Wu?

Ruyi said: "I can't accept your gift in vain, come on." After saying this, he whispered to the palace maid.

Jia Cong said hurriedly: "Your Majesty..."

"What are you talking about...?" Princess Ruyi blushed and interrupted him. With the plot of "the minister under the skirt" just now, the word "chen" is no longer easy to use.

Bao and Dai both covered their mouths and snickered.

"How dare Cong accept His Highness's treasures? I absolutely cannot do it." Jia Cong quickly changed his words.

"You are a general after all. Why are you acting like a mother-in-law? You are just a naughty boy. What can't you do?" Ruyi waved her hand.

Not long after, the palace maid brought a long box and presented it to Jia Cong.

"Let's see if you like it." Ruyi smiled.

Jia Cong was a little curious, so he slid open the lid and found a sword (sword) inside.

He was missing a sword. Jia Cong was so happy when he saw that he was hunting. He quickly picked it up and unsheathed it with a clang. It turned out to be a sword, similar in shape to Qingluan, also like a horizontal sword.

The blade is narrow and straight, with a thick back and a thin blade. It is made of unknown steel, but the whole body is slightly green in color. It is spotless, with a brilliant light and sharp edge.

Just looking at it, I felt like I was being cut by its sharp edge. The blade's surface is covered with strange and complex patterns, which is very different from ordinary weapons.

Jia Cong held a few swords in his hand and danced them. He felt that they were all good, and he was very happy.

He hurriedly took out his handkerchief and threw it in the air, holding the blade upright. The silk handkerchief fell gently and was cut into two pieces silently.

Everyone was amazed at the sharpness of the blade.

"Good knife, good knife!" Jia Cong couldn't help but admire.

Princess Ruyi smiled proudly, pretending to be in a difficult position, and said: "I originally wanted to give this knife to me, but since you don't want to take it, let's give it up. Come, take it back."

When Jia Cong heard this, he hurriedly returned the sword to its sheath and hung it on his waist. He said with a smile: "The princess kept her promise, how can she go back on her words? Cong thanks the princess for the generous gift. If she gets a naughty child in the future, he will come back to honor the princess."

The three women sneered.

"I'm kidding you, I think this princess is so stingy." Princess Ruyi said angrily, "The name of this sword is Qingshuang. It is the same pair as my... tenth brother's Qingsuo sword. It is made from the same piece of meteorite iron." After saying that, her pretty face blushed slightly and she quickly looked away.

Jia Cong didn't pay attention. He only turned over and over to admire the red sandalwood scabbard inlaid with gold and the dragon-shaped swallowing hand guard. There was a ring at the end of the handle with a hollow seal character inside.

This idiot, isn't what this princess said clear enough? Seeing that he was unconscious, Princess Ruyi was a little happy and a little disappointed, and couldn't help but curse secretly in her heart.

"Hey, what's the word Sister Bao?" Jia Cong pointed to the gold words inside the ring on the handle of the knife.

"This is the word 'imperial'. You don't even know this but you still claim to be a scholar." Princess Ruyi looked contemptuous.

Jia Cong came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I said it looks familiar. Brother Chi also has this word on the hilt of his sword. Hey, he said that his Qingsuo sword and the princess's Qingming sword are made of meteorite. Made from one furnace...then my knife...well, Qingshuang, Qingming, and Qingsuo are all from the same set."

"Bah, you're talking nonsense. You're talking about one thing and two things." He was relieved when he finally understood.

Jia Cong laughed and said: "Brother Chi and I fight side by side, we are like brothers, and we have been greatly favored by His Highness many times. It makes sense to use a set of weapons. Your Highness, rest assured, Cong will definitely live up to this green frost."

Princess Ruyi rolled her eyes at him with some disappointment. This bastard looks smart, but why is he so stupid? You are only afraid of letting down the knife, but you are not afraid of letting people down?

"Okay, I'm tired, please leave." Princess Ruyi waved her hand impatiently.

Jia Cong hurriedly said goodbye.

Baochai and Daiyu also said: "Sister Ruyi (sister), we have also returned. We will come back to bother you another day."

Princess Ruyi said hurriedly: "Brother Cong will go out first. I want to have a few words with the two sisters."

Jia Cong had no choice but to take Qingwen and Qianxue out first to wait. Ruyi took Baochai and Daiyu and said in a low voice: "Sister Bao, Sister Lin, this kid Jia Cong is so lustful and shameless that he can even marry two aunts when he goes to fight in Liaodong. You have to watch him closely, otherwise... hum. , there will be times when you cry.”

"..." The two of them were so ashamed that they hid their faces and said angrily: "What are these words? How can we care about him?"

Princess Ruyi glanced at the two of them and said with a smile: "Okay, that's it. You can think about it and do it."

Outside the Yimen, Baochai and Daiyu rode in an eight-treasure chariot with a green cover and pearl tassels. Qingwen and Qianxue rode in a Ziyunhua chariot brought by Jia Cong. Jia Cong was too lazy to ride a horse and got into Qingwen and the others. in the car.

The vehicle slowly drove out of the princess's house. Jia Cong was still polite. He hugged Qingwen and kissed her for a long time. He said lovingly: "Silly girl, why do you do stupid things? If it weren't for Brother Huan's cleverness, wouldn't you and I be heavenly beings?" Separated forever?"

Qingwen looked at Jia Cong foolishly and said: "I have told you a long time ago that you are your son in life and your ghost in death. I would rather die than serve others."

Jia Cong was moved in his heart, hugged her tightly, and whispered in her ear: "Good Qingwen, I will avenge you. I have dealt with Grandma Jiang, and no one can run away."

Qingwen buried her head in Jia Cong's neck and whispered: "I have to do so many great things, so don't worry about me. Now that I can come back to you, I have nothing more to ask for."

Jia Cong wondered: "Hey, Baotan's temperament has changed? Hehe, his breasts have also gotten bigger."

oops! Qingwen hurriedly pressed Jia Cong's mischievous hand and said angrily: "Here he comes again, Qianxue is still there. It's my uncle who doesn't know how to behave."

Qianxue turned her head away and said with a smile: "I didn't see anything, Qingwen, just let me love you."

"Master, look, Qianxue bullied me again." Qingwen said coquettishly.

"What's the problem? I'll bully her for you." Jia Cong relaxed his arms and pulled Qian Xue into his arms. He loved her deeply and said with a smile, "Is it fair now?"

The two of them laughed shyly in unison, hugging Jia Cong with happy faces on their faces.

"Sir, how have you been living in Liaodong for the past three years?" Qingwen asked.

"Okay, it's just that the girls from Liaodong are not as cute as you and know how to serve others." Jia Cong said with a smile, and picked up some important things from daily life.

When she heard that he had married two Jurchen aunts, Qingwen pursed her lips slightly and said, "I am quite a lively and cheerful person. I think of you at home and go out to fight, so I sleep with my heart in my heart every day."

Jia Cong laughed and said, "When I get back, I will make you my aunt, and you will receive a monthly salary of ten taels of silver first. When I am free, I will treat you to wine and celebrate in a fair and just way. How about that?"

The two were overjoyed.

Qingwen bit her lip shyly and said, "This... should the old lady or the eldest lady decide this? How could I decide it myself?"

Jia Cong smiled proudly and said: "Do you think I am a waste like Baoyu? Do you really think that this dignified first-class slut like me is a fake? The old lady even gave me a place to live in Rongxi Hall, could she still care about such a trivial matter? Refute me?"

"Really? The Hall of Rongxi was given to me? It's really an eye-opener for the heavens, Amitabha." After hearing this, the two of them clasped their hands in joy and recited the Buddha's name.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "That's natural. From now on, I will live with you in Rongxi Hall."

"What about sister Wanyan?" Qingwen asked cautiously. In her heart, she would not admit that this Jurchen aunt was her sister. Regardless of who came first, she should be her sister.

Jia Cong scratched the bridge of her delicate nose and said with a smile: "Wei'er has a place to live in the garden. If you miss me, come and live here. Don't worry, Weo'er is easy to get along with. You can't bully her. Be careful when she hits you." .”

Qingwen said calmly: "We won't bully others. We will only quarrel. How can I get my Jurchen aunt? Why should I use violence? We are two people."

Jia Cong held her raised little fist and said with a smile: "We'er is a child who grew up in the mountains, so it's no big deal to beat you two delicate girls.

However, she has a good temper and will not bully others. Moreover, she also has many big dogs. If you coax her well, wouldn't it be good to let the dogs bite whoever dares to bully you when I'm not around? "

"We all listen to you." Qingwen and Qingwen smiled until their eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and then said: "But master, ten taels of silver is too much. What is our status? How can we afford it? Second Mistress Lian can only Five taels of silver per month.

There has always been a rule in the house for aunt's monthly payment. Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou are given 2 taels of silver, which is the same as the young ladies. "

Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "Aunt Zhao is the aunt of a foreign minister from the fifth rank, and you are the aunt of a super-rank earl. How can we compare?

Not only you, but also We'er, and the money must come from the government. I just want everyone to know that you are not ordinary aunts. Let's see who dares to stab. "

"Thank you, Master." Qingwen and Qingwen were moved to tears, and they wished they could die for Jia Cong right away.

"By the way, how have you been in the princess's mansion these two years?"

"The princess is very kind to us and doesn't want us to do any work. She also said that I am a great talent who is famous all over the world. As a personal girl, we are illiterate and make people laugh, so she asked the husband to teach us how to read and write.

We can now also understand the poems written by me. My writing is really good, no worse than Li Taibai or Du Gongbu. "Qingwen said with a smile.

"Oh, I didn't expect that we would have two more poets in our family?" Jia Cong said with a smile.

"It makes me laugh, we just memorized a few poems, how can we do it?" Qian Xue said with a smile.

Jia Cong thought to himself that he was the same as me, because he smiled and said: "Then if you have nothing to do on weekdays, you can teach Wu'er, she is worse than you. You can also go to Sister Bao and Sister Lin and ask them for advice. It won't take long. I can compose poetry.”

After talking for a while, they returned to the house. Jia Cong sent Baochai and Daiyu back to the garden first. It was inevitable to be "stimulated" by the two of them. Fortunately, Xiaoxiang Pavilion was nearby, so he sent Daiyu back first, so the pressure would be less.

Baochai smiled slightly, knowing that the two of them had to say a few words to express themselves, so he went to wait in front.

Daiyu entered the room, turned her back to Jia Cong, and said softly: "I know that the reason you sent me back first is to get rid of the trouble first, and then you can wholeheartedly play with Sister Bao. Just go."

How to go here? It is indeed Daiyu's style. Jia Cong shook his head and laughed. This was obviously the way to go... More than his nature, he used poison to fight poison. Da Lala went to Daiyu's embroidered couch and said: "No. I have decided. I will sleep here tonight and not go anywhere. How about that?" ?”

Daiyu was relieved, but she didn't expect him to be so generous, so she rushed to pull him up: "You scoundrel, if you haven't gotten up yet, Sister Bao is still waiting in the snow. Oops..."

With a little effort, Jia Cong pulled Daiyu onto the bed, pressed him under him, and said with a smile: "Look where you are going? I haven't seen you for three years, and I'm so greedy. Why don't you give me something sweet for my brother?"

Daiyu held her pink fist and said angrily while beating her: "You bastard, people who are careful will see it."

Jia Cong lowered his head to kiss, pursed Daiyu's cherry lips, and entered.

Suddenly, a look of shame appeared in Daiyu's beautiful eyes like a cold pool of blue water. She pushed Jia Cong away with all her strength, pulled his big hand out, and said angrily: "The obscene things are getting deeper and deeper, there... you can't do it."

Jia Cong secretly cursed winter as trouble and almost succeeded.
