The first month is a time to visit relatives and friends, and everyone sits together to eat and drink. There has been no banquet in Jia's mansion this month. There are no important guests today, just some old and young people in the clan gathered together. It's not the first time I've been here, Ningrong and Rongfu think they are rich, and they don't mind some people visiting relatives to eat and drink during the first month, in fact, they just want to have fun.

So even if some people have a higher seniority in the clan than those with the word 'good', after all, they usually rely on Rongning and Ningfu to live, and Jia Lian greeted them because it is the master's family after all, and there must be a master At the reception, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng didn't need to spend time with him, they just came over to say hello.

When they arrived in the front yard, the two masters exchanged a few greetings with the senior ones, then threw Sanxiao to Jia Lian who was busy, turned and left.

When Jia Lian saw the two masters walking away in style, he just left him a mess, and it was quite a headache to find such three little boys for him to take care of!

This is simply adding to the chaos. These people outside are at least about the same age as him. It is not easy to find someone to accompany the third child. After thinking for a long time, I can only find a seat for them alone, and let the three of them sit there. Eat and play.

While eating, the three of them whispered and looked at Jia Lian in the crowd from time to time.

Jia Cong is really envious of his elder brother's height, not to say how tall Lian Erye is, but when he can grow so tall, it will prove that he is already an adult!

He always dislikes his current shell because he is too young, and it is inconvenient to do anything, especially if he wants to take the scientific examination, Mr. Qiao said that he will have to wait for at least a few more years, otherwise the age Too young, firstly, it is easy to hurt Zhongyong, secondly, it is useless if he passes the exam, no one can believe that a child can be a good official.

But the second brother Lian also loves to smile too much, especially the eyes. Every time he smiles, he is slightly raised, and his eyes will be brighter and more flexible. It gives people the impression that peach blossoms are shining, and men will know it when they see it. I think it's a bit seductive, let alone those women who have never seen the world, who are smiled and dismissed by him like that, I guess their bodies will go limp!

No wonder so many maids in this mansion want to serve him. Even Wang Xifeng's powerful methods can't be frightened. It is estimated that the prospect of the half-master is the same, but the big reason is that they are hooked by those eyes Lost my soul!

Jia Cong slandered Jia Lian's eyes in his heart, but he didn't know that the two brothers resembled each other the most. It's just that he doesn't like to smile in front of people, and his eyes are too quiet, so it's not so obvious, but because of his facial features It needs to be more refined, so when you are happy, there is only something more attractive between a smile and a gesture!

This point is all due to Jia Shen. I think he was a beautiful boy and handsome man back then. Unfortunately, looking at Jia Shen's old face now, it is really difficult to find out the demeanor of his youth. It has been better in recent years, because there is usually Jia Cong distracted his attention from time to time, unlike before, he just drank and looked for his aunt every day. Although the flesh was still a little slack, his eyes were much clearer, and the dark circles around his eyes were gone. A middle-aged handsome man, if he still lives like he did a few years ago, he probably won't be able to watch it now.

The three snacks are full, and it is really boring among a group of older people.

Then they discussed where to go for recreation. After Jia Huan heard about Jia Cong's experience in the Shangyuan Festival, he really wanted to go for a stroll in the street to see if he could have some fun.

But Jia Cong and Jia Lan collectively despised him for a while, but Jia Lan wanted to go to Jia Cong's place to take a look at his study. Jia Huan didn't like those classics and poems, so he shook his head and didn't want to go there.

It was Jia Cong who said that he had a new master beside him. He had been on the battlefield. He was very good at boxing and kicking, and he was also good at archery. Son.

The three of them told Jia Lian that they were going to the big house. Jia Lian asked carefully how many people were following them, and after looking at them, she knew that they were all right, so she let them go.

When I returned to the big room, I had to meet Jia She and Mrs. Xing first. Jia She used to be a little worried that his son was too hardworking. He only knew how to study every day and didn't even have any friends outside. Looking at Jia Huan and Jia Lan now The two were pretty well-behaved and obedient, and the three of them got along very happily, so they encouraged a few words, and even gave the two children a good thing respectively.

On the contrary, Jia Huan and Jia Lan were a little flattered!Carefully put away the good things given by the old man, for fear of losing them accidentally.

When I went to see Mrs. Xing, I saw Yingchun who had just moved here.

Mrs. Xing was in a bad mood because when she was checking if Yingchun was missing anything, she found that the girl didn't even have a few jewelry, and none of them were of the best quality.

Doubts arose in my heart, after careful investigation, even the jewelry that the mansion gave to their sisters every year was not left.

Most of the clothes and the like were missing, and when she asked about the arrival of Spring Festival, she just couldn't tell. How could this make her angry?

I called Si Qi Xiuju to ask, but the confession was taken away by the nurse Yingchun.

Seeing Yingchun like that, Mrs. Xing really hated iron and steel. She is also a concubine, and she was also born without a mother. You see, Brother Cong is so clever that he can hold the master in his palm.

But this second girl couldn't even hug the nanny beside her, and it was so overwhelming that she almost had no place to breathe.

Putting my hands on my heart, I always feel that my chest hurts from being angry. The girl is a delicate guest, and she didn't crawl out of her stomach. Although she has the title of aunt, she can only preach slowly, and it is not good to scold in person. .

Now seeing such a thing, how can I control my tone and speak words, I can only turn around and ask Si Qi Xiuju in a cold voice, "You girl has been bullied to such an extent, but you two blindly help Concealing it? She is a girl nanny, you can't stop it, but you don't even know to tell our elders?"

Si Qi and Xiuju only felt that they were wronged, the eldest lady usually didn't care much about their girls, how did they know that suing would be useful?Moreover, my daughter doesn't care about these things the most, as long as she is given a place where she can not disturb her tranquility, these external things are completely ignored.

But they slaves can't say what the girl said, they can only kneel there and beg for mercy blindly, without making a lot of noise.

Peeking at their girls, she found that Yingchun was only there with her head down, fiddling with the corners of her clothes with her fingers, not knowing what she was thinking, and she didn't say a single word of pleading. It's not worth caring about!

Although they knew in their hearts that the girl was cowardly, and it was the first time they came back to Dafang, they didn't know about it from now on, and they didn't dare to argue with Mrs. Xing, so they didn't speak for them.

But I still feel a little chilled, I really don't know what will happen in the future with such a girl!

Mrs. Xing was about to say something more, but when she heard Jia Cong, Jia Huan and Jia Lan came to pay her respects, she hurriedly called in.

Seeing Jia Cong coming in and saying that he wanted to keep his brother and nephew until after dinner, he quickly pulled them to his side and said, "It's rare that Brother Huan and Brother Lang are willing to come over to play, what do you like to eat and play?" Whatever you say, I’m sure I’ll prepare everything for you!”

Seeing that the two children were a little shy, they turned to Jia Cong and said, "Brother Cong, please treat your brother and nephew well. If you need anything, you can directly tell the kitchen and housekeeper."

Jia Cong hastily agreed, seeing that Yingchun was half-sitting on the soft couch diagonally opposite Mrs. Xing, the three of them hurriedly saluted again, and Yingchun also returned the half-respect.

Although she was a little curious about the two maidservants kneeling below, she couldn't ask now, so she had to leave first.

Back in Jia Cong's room, Jia Lan was envious when he saw the small study room full of bookshelves next to it.

When he saw clearly that these books were not only a collection of classics and history, piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings, but also some strange novels, supernatural legends, even Jia Huan's eyes turned red, and he clamored to borrow them back to read.

If this is caught by the second master, the crime will not be light. Jia Cong doesn't want to take the responsibility. He just said that they will borrow those serious books. He is not so stingy, but those idle books are not allowed to leave here. Look outside, otherwise he will not recognize him if he is caught, even if he is beaten to death.

It was only then that Jia Huan remembered how old-fashioned his master was. Although he was still itchy in his heart, he finally held back and didn't do anything, but he made up his mind that he would not go to other places after school to fool around. Jia Cong is also good at studying here.

Coincidentally, Jia Lan over there also had the same idea, and was thinking about how to discuss it with his mother, and let him come to Third Uncle Cong when he was free. I have never seen a person who is more knowledgeable than this third uncle, and such a person is an elder, so he should be as close as possible.

Poor Jia Cong, originally he just thought that he would spend a good day coaxing the children, and dragged these two people who were not liked by Mrs. Jia's mother to the side of the big room, maybe he could use it to anger the people over there. OK.

As for the shameless issue of using two children, this person has little sympathy and never thought there was anything wrong with it, but he never thought that he would recruit two followers for himself in a single thought, and he would never be able to get rid of them ever since. !

Fortunately, his goal has also been achieved. After that, Jia Huan and Jia Lan became more and more talented in literature and martial arts under his guidance. The mother and Mrs. Wang were very angry, especially Mrs. Wang, who couldn't hold back her indifferent and compassionate look, but she lost her position and resorted to tricks frequently.

But this is all something later, Jia Cong, who is coaxing the children here, is thinking that since he has called people here, he can’t always read books in the first month, but he doesn’t know what a boy as old as this in ancient times would like. .

He could only dig out the little things that Jia She usually bought for him, as well as the things he made to relax after being tired from reading.

Those clay figurines like Jiu Lianhuan are okay, even if they don't play with them often, they have seen them all, and even have one or two in their collection.

But those small ornaments of jade carvings, childlike handles, and a set of study rooms such as monkeys picking the moon, tigers descending the mountain, etc., made both of them greedy. In the end, Jia Cong looked at them with pity. , the generous person gave a set, these are not out of print, he just needs to ask his father to buy another set.

The toys that were taken out later, such as Bingju, Huarongdao, and ball playing cards, were all produced by Jia Cong himself. Not to mention that they have never appeared in this world, and even if they did, they have not been spread yet.

Especially things like ice, it is the most suitable game for boys in winter.

Jia Cong led the two of them to a piece of flat ground in the yard that was cleared out by someone. Of course it was not ice. It was too slippery. If he fell on it, even if he could hold it back, the people below would be worried. crazy!

Jia Cong demonstrated to the two of them, the little braids were flying in the air, and the icicles below were spinning around on the ground. No matter how you looked at it, it was exciting. Jia Huan grabbed a red painted He didn't let go of his hand anymore, although he couldn't grasp the direction of strength well at first, but when he swung the little whip with a whistling sound, he felt very majestic.

Even Jia Lan's eyes were hot. After playing, he rarely relaxed. The child who had been pretending to be a little adult couldn't help laughing happily there. The way he covered his mouth was so affectionate, Jia Cong couldn't help rubbing his little head with his hands, but this action made the child even more shy, and he didn't move his awkward hands or feet. Know how to put it!

It was Jia Cong who was afraid that he would be ashamed and annoyed, so he changed the subject and said that there could be a three-person competition to see who can persist for a long time, and then the matter was passed.

The three of them had fun, and Jia Huan even forgot about what he had said at the beginning, asking Jia Cong to introduce Master Wu.

However, it was too cold outside, and after only playing for half an hour, the nanny who was with her didn't allow the three of them to continue, for fear that one of them who was sick and followed would not be able to bear the responsibility.

Fortunately, although Jia Huan and Jia Lan are normally skinny, they did not do so much exercise at once. At this time, after being stopped by the nanny, they realized that they were sweating, and they were already a little out of breath. So I didn't insist much, I went back to the house obediently and changed my clothes, washed my hands and face, sat there and ate some tea and snacks.

Jia Cong asked for the consent of the two people, and asked a quick-spoken youngest to tell them about the book. This book is different from the old lady who always talks about talents and beauties. There are legendary novels, boys always prefer such things, so both of them were fascinated by it.

It wasn't until after dinner that Jia Cong came to send the two of them back home and sighed that it was really tiring to coax the children. He has been in this world for so long, and he has never talked so much in a day. Once in a while, it's nothing. He can't bear it. It seems that it's better not to get too close to them in the future!

He still doesn't know that the two people who left have already made an appointment, and they have had a great time playing for a day. It is not good to come back the next day, but it is just right to go there every other day!

Jia Lan was still thinking, Third Uncle Cong is kind and knowledgeable, should he show him his homework?

If Jia Cong knew this now, he might have the heart to run away overnight!

After a night of no dreams, when Jia Cong went to greet his father and Mrs. Xing the next morning, he found that Yingchun had already arrived. After seeing Li and sitting down, he asked softly, "Second sister, did you rest well yesterday?"

Yingchun smiled and replied, "Last night was fine, thank you for thinking about my third brother!"

Jia Cong looked at her carefully, and found that there were no dark circles under her eyes, and the panic and confusion from yesterday was gone from her expression.

What he didn't know was that Yingchun had never spent a single day with Jia She and Mrs. Xing, and even rarely saw each other, and the people around him, whether they were masters or slaves, seldom had a good word to say about them.

Therefore, in my impression, neither of these two are easy to get along with. When I heard yesterday that she was going to come back to live, even though she was weak-hearted and usually submissive, she was a little worried about the future. She didn't know how to hide it, and her expression leaked out.

However, after Mrs. Xing checked her salute yesterday, although her face was not very good, the people who served her were reprimanded, and basically everyone was punished. Even though he was dull, he still felt a little warmth from it.

This is the first time someone has stood up for her since she was a child. Although she doesn't know what will happen in the future, after all, she is really quiet in the house now, and the people who serve her have become extra cautious, so there is no old feeling in her heart. perturbed.

After talking here, we waited for Jia She to come and had breakfast together, but today, because there was Spring Festival, Mrs. Xing took him to set up a table alone, and Jia She and Jia Cong had dinner on the other side through a small screen.

This is also the rule, the so-called women's university avoids their fathers, nothing more!

After breakfast, Mrs. Xing sent Yingchun back, and she had an easy excuse to let her see what was missing in the house, so she could go to the warehouse to get it.

After Yingchun left meekly, Mrs. Xing was full of complaints and said to their father and son, "Usually, the old lady always talks about how capable the second daughter-in-law is, and Lian'er and the second girl are also raised by them. Yes, men, I dare not say, but this girl is really let them raise and useless!"

Jia Amnesty didn't even care about the eldest son, let alone the daughter. He was a little surprised when he heard this, "What's wrong? I've seen Yingchun in the past two days, and she's pretty cute?"

"Hmph, there's nothing wrong with face!

However, this was too irresponsible. She was about to be emptied by a nanny, and she didn't even ask. Even the maids stopped her. "

When Jia She heard that his daughter had such a temper, he was taken aback for a moment. He still remembered that Yingchun's aunt used to speak and do things neatly. Because of his personality, which is different from human beings, he was very favored at that time.

The girl born of such a person is actually a bully?

However, he has nothing to do with his daughter's affairs, so he can only say to Madam Xing, "Then please trouble Madam to be more considerate, there is only one girl in our room!"

In a word, Mrs. Xing became worried again. Although he and Jia She are not very affectionate now, they are much better than before, and she is living a smooth life now. People around her even reminded her that she is planning to marry her. Brother Cong recorded it under his own name.

Brother Cong got the master's eyes, and he is smart and willing to study hard, so he will definitely be successful in the future. As long as it can be recorded in her name now, it will not only benefit Brother Cong in the future, but also he will not have to worry about it.

But their big house can't get into the eyes of the old lady, Brother Cong and himself are even more like enemies with the old lady, so it seems that it is impossible to go the way of Jia Mu, the only thing left is for Jia She to go and talk to the old lady in person. According to the clan, she doesn't dare to offend her master now, so she won't be accidentally beaten!

But this welcome girl is also really frustrating. I really don’t know how to cultivate this temper. What’s inside and outside the words is that I want to live a quiet life, but if I don’t work hard and pay the price, who can live like that? really come?

Blindly giving in and retreating like her will only make life more and more unclean, just like her nanny, if Yingchun hadn't indulged her greed at the beginning, she would be a slave no matter what Don't you want to obediently listen to your master?

Even if you don't want to work hard yourself, and directly or let a servant break the matter to a few elders or daughter-in-law, these people will help her deal with it for the sake of face, and life will not be like this in time!

I thought that luckily I am not too old now, even if I told her about her, I would have to wait a few more years, so I should teach her slowly, and if it didn’t work, I would find a powerful and loyal parenting nun, and then find someone with a better personality For the non-eldest son, this life can always go on slowly.

Thinking about it this way, the matter is not too difficult, so he simply put his mind to it and stopped talking to Jia She, but turned around and asked Jia Cong a few more words, expressing his care and love.

Jia Cong felt that Mrs. Xing was a little strange these days, and she cared more about him than before, and she looked at him a little wrongly. How should I put it, some seemed to be happy but more of it was coveted? !

Thinking of that, I shivered and felt a little chilly, wondering if I was thinking too much?

Although he comforted himself with his misreading, he paid more attention to Mrs. Xing after all, and did not find anything unfavorable to him or his father. There is no way.

After talking for a while, Jia She and his son came out of the main room. Jia She was going to go out for a banquet later, but Jia Cong was fine. However, he suddenly remembered the incident of meeting Qu Heng on the Lantern Festival. I couldn't help asking my father, "Daddy, does Naqu San'er still have contact with you?"

"Yes, that man is not only a seller, he has connections, and sometimes he can get some good antiques. Your father and I will visit them from time to time."

Jia Cong frowned, his impression of this person was really not good, although he did not reject servants, because in his eyes these people were no different from the hired workers in his previous life, they had to be paid to work for him Work, but relatively no freedom.

However, there was another notion in his previous life that deeply influenced him, that is, he always felt that human trafficking was not a good thing!

Especially these days there are so many kidnappers, those who voluntarily sell themselves for some reason are acceptable, but those who kidnap women and sell them are always disgusting. Who knows where the people in Naqu San'er's hands are? here?

Therefore, when he saw this person on the Lantern Festival, he was a little frightened, and subconsciously ran away!

At this time, knowing that my father still had contacts with that person, he had no choice but to tell the story of meeting that person at the Lantern Festival, and then said, "At that time, my son was flustered. Although he recognized this person, when he thought of that person He is a specially recruited person to sell, so he doesn't dare to trust him, so he just pretended not to recognize him, grabbed himself and ran away."

Jia Amnesty was still a little flustered when he thought about his son's situation that day. Hearing what he said, he quickly hugged him, patted his little shoulder and said, "Brother Cong is right to do this, and there is no one around you." , in such a chaotic time, you can’t easily trust others, it’s right for you to go directly to a big restaurant, explain your origin, and promise them a lot of money to report the news!”

Saying this in his mouth, he became wary of that Qu San'er again, and then became more and more alienated!
