Late at night, Jiajiadong Road Courtyard.
Jia Cong spent more than half an hour in Mrs.
Having lost the tension in her lungs, her breathing was like a bellows.
Every breath was extremely painful and difficult, and even falling asleep was only possible after being exhausted and tortured.
Today, she is no longer as powerful and domineering as when she abused and insulted Jia Cong
Jia Cong didn¡¯t say much, he just explained the things he had to do southward on errands as briefly as possible.
He also said that he would send Mrs. Xing¡¯s brother and his family to Beijing as soon as possible to reunite with Mrs. Xing.
After completing the "filial piety", there was a long silence.
This is most of the etiquette and filial piety in this world
¡¡
After coming out of the room that seemed even more dull and depressing than the night, Jia Cong looked up at the sparse starry sky above his head. It was almost midnight.
The mood is a bit complicated.
In later generations, although Mrs. Xing¡¯s illness was difficult to treat, it was not incurable.
Of course, he was just thinking about the medical ethics of his previous life.
¡°If Mrs.
"Third brother!"
Holding a lantern, Jia Cong heard a female voice coming from the corner of the rockery before he left the second gate of the East Road Courtyard.
Jia Cong looked up and saw Wang Xifeng coming with his maid Feng'er.
He glanced at the night again, frowned slightly and said, "It's already now, why is the second sister-in-law still walking this way?"
When Wang Xifeng came closer, a burst of fragrance hit her nostrils. She smiled brightly and said: "I always come over to see my wife every few days. Today is just the right time" But she added: "But it is indeed much later today Feng'er, you Go inside and take a look, see if the eldest lady has rested? If she has, she won't go in today."
After Feng'er responded, he carried the lantern and went inside.
When Jia Cong saw Wang Xifeng and Wang Xifeng¡¯s lanterns going away, he couldn¡¯t just leave. Seeing that Sister Feng couldn¡¯t hide her fatigue, he pointed to the stone table and bench beside the Yongshi path and said, ¡°Sit down and talk.¡±
As he said that, he took out his handkerchief to wipe the stone bench.
Wang Xifeng was startled when she saw it, and then she quickly took the lead and brushed her embroidered handkerchief on the two stone benches a few times. Then she straightened up and said with a smile, "How can any man do such a service?"
Jia Cong chuckled and said calmly: "You are the eldest sister-in-law, so what if I serve you for a while? Sit downSecond sister-in-law, you have been getting up early and going to bed late all day long, making you exhausted. This is not a good way to grow up."
When Wang Xifeng heard this, the look in Danfeng's eyes became softer. She sighed and shook her head and smiled: "There are not many old people left in the family, and the housekeepers and wives It won't take two or three years to get back to what they were before, but there are advantages. Although Mr. Chen is capable, he is also very qualified and old-fashioned. He is not a man who picks his masters and gossips behind his back. In the first two years when I came to the Jia family, I was really scared, afraid of being told off"
Jia Cong chuckled and said, "You can't, right? I think they are all afraid of the second sister-in-law. They all say that the second sister-in-law is fierce and capable."
Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes angrily and said: "If I'm not more aggressive, who can control me? At that time, Ping'er helped me and shared most of the trivial matters for me. It's not like now, even a trivial matter can be ignored. Some people bother me, and I can¡¯t sleep for more than three hours all day long"
At this moment, Wang Xifeng didn¡¯t show any of her usual arrogance.
Sitting with her legs together, holding the embroidered handkerchief in both hands, she placed it on her lap, as if she had returned to the age of a lady in her boudoir.
The lanterns emitted dim candlelight, and it was a bit cold on the autumn moonlit night.
Jia Cong thought for a while and said slowly: "Managing a family is not much different from managing a country. The most important thing for a wise leader is to know how to employ people. It is better to delegate power than to collect power. In this regard, Sima Yi is worse than Zhuge Liang."
¡°As he spoke, Jia Cong told the story of how Zhuge Liang died of overwork and exhaustion in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which led to the failure of the Northern Expedition and the demise of the Shu Han Dynasty.
Wang Xifeng was watching and listening quietly.
At the end, he smiled with shining eyes: "I have seen this in the play, but the play is not as good as what Third Brother said!"
Jia Cong chuckled and said: "I believe that the second sister-in-law understands the truth, but she can't compete with her strong heart Again, the second sister and the third sister are old and can share the burden, especially the third sister."
After Wang Xifeng nodded in agreement, he looked at Jia Cong and said with a smile: "I heard from Ping'er, sister-in-law Dongbian'er, do you want me to beg you? Third brotherJia Cong, Baoyu, Jia Huan and other male members of the Jia family went to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.
At two o'clock in the morning, everyone returned to Rongqing Hall.
Mother Jia, Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng and many sisters were bidding farewell to Baochai.
Xue Pan was a foreigner and could only lie down, so he was sent into the carriage first to lie down.
When Jia Cong and others came back, Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai and her daughter were crying.
Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang were waiting to persuade them, but the effect was not very good
Seeing Jia Cong striding over in a flying fish and python suit, the Rongqing Hall suddenly fell silent.
Even Aunt Xue and Baochai seemed to pause for a moment from crying
Last night, after Jia Cong said some murderous words at the banquet, he left first.
The shock caused by this incident in the Jia family is by no means weaker than when the Xue family brothers and sisters left Beijing today, or even stronger.
So after Jia Cong entered, everyone, including Jia Mu, set their sights on him.
Jia Cong seemed unaware, but still followed the etiquette rules and saluted in sequence.
Seeing him like this, Jia Mu didn't know what she felt in her heart. After being silent for a while, she shouted, "Get up."
After Jia Cong stood up, Jia Mu asked again: "Have you paid homage to your ancestors?"
Jia Cong replied: "Yes."
Mother Jia looked at him again and asked: "You said yesterday that you might be away for more than one or two years. Is there anything else you want to explain? Now you have also accepted the title"
Jia Cong thought for a while and said: "Old ladies, masters, and wives have the final say. Cong only hopes that the eldest brother in the family will be healthy and everything will go as he wishes. He has no other wishes."
Jia Mu nodded and said, "Where is Dongfu?"
Jia Cong replied: "Three teams of soldiers were left to guard the house. After I left, all the front doors were closed, leaving only a back door for slaves to buy vegetables and enter. In addition, the small door in the corridor here was open, except for the old man here. My wife, my wife, my sisters and others are going to have fun in Huifang Garden. Before my return, the East Mansion will no longer welcome guests I have given these instructions to the soldiers who stayed behind, so they will not be a hindrance."
This means that the family property of the former Ningguo Mansion was cared for to death by Jia Cong.
Except for himself, no one else from the Jia clan can even enter at will.
But, that¡¯s how it should be.
After being silent for a while, Jia Mu said calmly: "Since you are ready, let's do this."
After Jia Zheng gave a few more instructions, he glanced at the pale sky outside the house and said, "It's almost time. Let's get on the road early."
After Jia Cong responded, he knelt down again to say goodbye.
¡¡
At three o'clock in the morning, four carriages with eight-treasure hairpins and tassels left the east and west houses of the Jia family at the same time.
More than a hundred fully-clothed Qingqi filed out of Dongfu, guarding the carriage, and the evil spirit suddenly arose.
Jia Cong was not riding a horse, he should be in the leader's carriage.
The team went out from the Jinguang Gate to the Weishui Pier.
Still not stopping, the four carriages boarded a tall three-story ship.
More than a hundred cavalrymen boarded the ship one after another to guard.
At two o'clock in the morning, the building ship pulled anchor and set sail!
Eight waters flow around Chang'an, seven waters flow into the Wei River, and the Wei River flows into the Yellow River.
When reaching the Yellow River section, it then enters the Huaihe River through the canal and connects with the Yangtze River down the river.
Since its launch, this ship has attracted the attention of countless people.
Either expectation, indifference, or malice
Until the south bank of the river.
