Night wind, dampness and cold.
The wind in the south is different from the wind in the north.
The wind from the north seems to be strong, but as long as you wear a thick cloak, it can be blocked.
Although the wind from the south feels gentle and lingering and has no power, it can quietly penetrate the layers of barriers and chill the bones.
The wind on winter nights is particularly cold. Although Daiyu wears a jade-colored emerald leaf cloud-patterned embroidered cotton skirt and a silver-white background emerald-patterned brocade feather satin cloak, she still cannot block the cold wind.
However, while she was shrinking and shaving her shoulders, she was giggling secretly with joy. Jia Cong was startled and asked, "What's wrong with my sister? Don't be a bumper-to-bumper"
Daiyu glanced at him angrily, and then laughed softly: "I remembered the way my brother looked when he saw me just now" As she said that, she stopped and gritted her teeth and learned: "Lin, Dai, Yu! Pfft! "Looked at Jia Cong again.
Jia Cong chuckled and said, "Are you still laughing? It made me nervous for a while. I thought it was an enemy coming to visit."
Hearing this, Daiyu looked at Jia Cong with soft eyes and said warmly: "Brother, are there many enemies outside?"
Jia Cong laughed, nodded and shook his head, saying: "There are many people who can't stand it, but there are only a few people who dare to take revenge. I have arrested them all."
Daiyu was not happy. She walked a few steps silently, then looked up at Jia Cong and said seriously: "Although I don't understand the outside world, I have also read some miscellaneous books. The book said that as an official, you cannot be independent. If you make enemies everywhere, even if you keep yourself clean and don¡¯t mix with others, you should still live in peace and harmony. Making too many enemies is like being stuck in the mud, getting deeper and deeper, and in the end you can¡¯t even get out What are you laughing at?¡±
Jia Cong laughed and raised his hands in surrender, saying: "I'm not laughing at you, I'm smiling happily! You also know that our family is all a group of educated people, or they are fresh and refined outsiders who regard worldly affairs as their bad luck ¡I didn¡¯t expect that there would be a female Zhuge like my sister in the family!¡±
Daiyu stomped her feet in disbelief and said coquettishly: "Coaxing me again! You are just laughing at me!"
As he spoke, he seemed to be shuddered by his soft and seductive voice, and he shivered.
Seeing this, Jia Cong took off the big cloak from his shoulders, put it on Daiyu, placed the silk ribbon in front of her, and said, "Tie it up and go quickly. If the wind blows for a while, you will have to get up!"
Daiyu pursed her lips and glanced at Jia Cong, grabbed the silk ribbon with both hands and tied it into a knot, and walked forward quietly.
Jia Cong smiled bitterly in his heart, there is always a kind of girl, every move is full of affection, every frown and every smile can make the atmosphere turn pink
"Ahem!"
After coughing twice, Jia Cong said with a gentleman's face: "Um Generally speaking, when ordinary officials hang out in the officialdom, they must, as Sister Lin said, live in harmony with others and not be unconventional. People are offended. , he is finished. It¡¯s just that my official is different from ordinary officials."
Daiyu became interested: "What's the difference?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "To put it nicely, I am the head of the secret service, but to put it harshly, I am the court eagle and dog, the emperor's minion."
"Pfft!"
Does Daiyu actually know what Jia Cong¡¯s official job is?
Who is the great Han Dynasty, the Li Jingmen of the Tang Dynasty, the Imperial City Division of the Song Dynasty, and the imperial guards of Qian Dynasty, they are all the same.
Looking through the history books, these institutions that are the emperor's minions rarely have a good reputation.
It¡¯s just that Daiyu didn¡¯t expect that Jia Cong could say it so calmly, and she was quite happy.
She said angrily: "How can anyone say that they are the minions of hawks and dogs?"
Jia Cong laughed and said: "Actually, there is no difference. Officials are all doing their best for the emperor. It's just that they are herdsmen on behalf of the emperor and deal with the people, while we deal with bad people. There are only bad people, and the rabbits die and the foxes mourn for the bad people. , Only those who harm others will scold us and be afraid of us. If you are selfless and aboveboard in your heart, why should you be afraid of us?"
Daiyu kept looking at Jia Cong quietly, and Jia Cong reminded him angrily: "Watch the road, don't stumble like last time!"
When Daiyu heard this, her pretty face turned red, and then she remembered the phrase "holding hands", and glared at Jia Cong in shame, but Baoyu did this, but Jia Cong did not.
He chuckled, stretched out his hand to ruffle Daiyu's hair, and lectured: "Quickly go!"
Daiyu herself wondered why she wasn¡¯t upset after being taught such a lesson
Seeing Jia Cong continue to walk forward, she also started walking seriously, and asked again: "But the history books also recorded many bad things you did. When you met a foolish king, you"
Jia Cong hurriedly interrupted and called Qu Dao:After a moment of silence, he said softly: "Go to sleep, it's fine now."
Zijuan wanted to say something else, but what could she say?
¡¡
The next morning.
Although he went to bed very late, Jia Cong still got up on time.
And he didn¡¯t even have breakfast with his family. After finishing his exercise at 3:30, he took Zhan Peng and others to Furukawa Pier.
Tea Lady sent word that Jinling had sent back the news yesterday afternoon that Zhen Yingjia, the head of the Zhen family, and the four heads of the Thirteen Jiangnan families staying in Jinling, as well as the heads of the Jia, Wang, and Shi families in the eldest house of Jinling, came to visit in person. After arriving at the Song Family of the former Grand Sikong Mansion, they invited Song Yan, the world-famous Confucian scholar Song Chan Gong, to come out of the mountain and rush to Yangzhou Mansion together.
In addition, there are also Governor Fang Yue of Jiangnan, Governor Guo Zhao of Jiangnan, Chief Envoy Tang Yan of Jiangnan, Admiral Tao Ke of Jiangnan Camp, General Lu Ming, Governor Du Zhen of Changzhou Prefecture, Jiang Chao, Magistrate of Jiangyin, etc. The civil and military officials from Jiangnan also set off together to rush to Yangzhou Mansion.
The whole Jiangnan is turbulent!
It is worth mentioning that both the Dubiao Battalion under Jiangnan Governor Fang Yue and the Fubiao Battalion under Governor Guo Zhao arrived at full capacity.
Under the command of the admiral and commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan camp, there were even three thousand soldiers and horses accompanying him.
Together with the entourage and servants of each family, there are tens of thousands of people, all pressing down on Yangzhou Mansion.
But there were still only a hundred or so people around Jia Cong, guarding him quietly, reining up his horse at the ancient river dock and watching the heavy fog on the river.
Until the second quarter of the morning, a line of large ships broke through the morning fog and slowly appeared on the river.
At the head of a thousand-stone ship, there was a large flag flying high on the flagpole, with five characters written on it:
Governor of Jiangnan, Fang!
Jia Cong¡¯s eyes were not there. He just lowered his eyes and looked at the surging river
