When Zhao Chengyi learned that Jia Cong came back on horseback by himself, he was full of confusion.

The corpse could still ride a horse?

And when I heard that the other party not only survived the siege by the Jin people, but also killed the enemy general Mang Gurtai,

I felt like I was struck by lightning. I didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, I murmured:

"It seems that I came here to blame Madam by mistake. Mr. Jia is so brave. How can it be that Madam is so confident?"

When they learned in the backyard of the county government office that Jia Cong had returned safely, all the girls' hearts were relieved, and they were served by Xue Baochai personally. Next, Jia Cong washed away the blood all over his body.

As soon as he walked out of the room, Han Chao walked over:

"General, something happened. After we let the Jin people escape, they were accidentally bumped into by Zhou Jiguo. This man was eager for success. Seeing an opportunity, he led his men to pursue the Jin people. Unexpectedly, he was beheaded by the Jin people he had conquered. , almost all of the ten thousand troops were killed or injured,"

Jia Cong frowned and said:

"Zhou Jiguo? Who is this person and why is he here?"

"Returning to the general, Zhou Jiguo is the son of the Minister of the Ministry of War. He was ordered to go to Xifeng City to help garrison. When he learned that the general was here, he brought people there, so he met the Jin man on the way."

He was another man who wanted to follow him to gain military merit. , it’s a pity that the other party’s luck seems to be not very good,

"Report this matter and send it to the capital together with Mang Gurtai's head."

""Yes,"

Han Chao said yes, then hesitated and said,"General, there is one more thing."

"explain,"

"After Zhou Jiguo's defeat, some of his men fled here, including Jia Lian and others. According to them, they came here from Xifeng City with Zhou Jiguo. More than half of their group was killed or injured this time. Jia Lian also asked his humble position to tell the general specifically"All five people including Jia Rong from the Jia Mansion died in the battle, leaving only Jia Lian."

Hearing that Jia Rong and others actually died in the battle,

Jia Cong had no other feelings except being a little surprised, even if they did not die this time. If they die in battle, I will arrange for them to die in the future, but it is a pity that there is still one Jia Lian left.

"He ordered people to send Jia Lian back to Xifeng City under strict supervision, and told Shi Dutong to include him in the ranks and train with the soldiers to go to the battlefield."

"Yes."

After Han Chao left,

Jia Cong thought for a while and decided to tell Qin Keqing about Jia Rong's death, so he walked towards her room.

At this time, Qin Keqing was talking to the maid Baozhu when she heard a knock on the door. When the sound rang out, he asked the other party to open the door.

Seeing that it was Master Cong coming, he quickly stood up and saluted:

"My niece-in-law has met Uncle Cong."

Jia Cong looked at Baozhu next to him and said:

"You go out first. I have something to say with Brother Rong’s daughter-in-law."

"Yes."

After Baozhu left, Jia Cong sighed and looked at Qin Keqing and said:

"I have some bad news to tell you."

Qin Keqing raised her eyebrows, looked up at Jia Cong and said:

"But something happened to Uncle Rong?"

Jia Cong nodded and said:

"That's right, he came out of Xifeng City privately, and met a golden man on the way and was killed. Now his body is gone."

Ah~

Hearing the bad news, Qin Keqing cried out sadly, feeling dizzy and about to fall to the ground. ,

Jia Cong had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly hugged the other party's delicate body and helped her to the chair.

It took a while for the other party to recover, but her eyes were still dull and dull, as if she had lost three souls and seven souls.

,

Jia Cong comforted:

"People cannot be resurrected, so you don't have to be too sad, just think about your next plan,"

Qin Keqing said sadly:

"My niece-in-law asked Third Uncle Cong to send me back to the Jia Mansion and tell the Jia Mansion this news. Uncle Rong is my husband, and I will fulfill the responsibilities of a wife by wearing linen and filial piety for him."

Jia Cong asked in a deep voice. :

"Do you really want to go back?"

Qin Keqing remained silent.

"No one in the entire Ningguo Mansion knows what old Jia Zhen thinks about you. Now that Jia Rong is dead, Jia Zhen has no scruples anymore. When you return to Jia Mansion, you will be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth, and you will not be able to escape the clutches of the devil. But you have to consider It's clear."

Qin Keqing showed hesitation when she heard this.

How could she not know what her father-in-law was thinking about her?

This was the main reason why she agreed to come to the border so happily.

Now that Uncle Rong is dead, her father-in-law will be even more unscrupulous. How should she protect herself at that time? She is afraid that she will fall into the hands of the other party sooner or later.

Now that she has finally escaped from the Jia Mansion, she feels a little unwilling to go back like this. Although she has only been in this fief for a few days, she is still here. But she lived a very comfortable life, and she really didn't want to go back to the prison of Jia's house with so many rules.

Even the third lady and others had the same idea as herself.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Jia Cong said lightly:

"Since you don't have to go back if you don't really want to, someone will naturally inform the Jia family about Jia Rong's death. You don't have to worry about it anymore, just stay here honestly."

Qin Keqing was quite moved when he heard this, but still worried:

"I came to the border with Uncle Rong. Now that he has died in battle, how should I explain to the Jia family?"

"Don't worry about it. You are here with me, how dare the Jia family come to take over?"

Qin Keqing thought for a while and then stood up and saluted:

"Thank you, Uncle Cong. Please prepare some white cloth for me. After all, Uncle Rong is my husband. I don’t dare to disturb Uncle Cong. I will set up a mourning hall in my room and wear sackcloth for him to fulfill my duty. It is also appropriate,"

"I will order someone to arrange it."

After saying that, Jia Cong opened the door and walked out.

This scene happened to be seen by Xue Baochai who was passing by.

There was a hint of thinking in her almond eyes, and then she walked towards Qin Keqing's room.

When Later,

Jia Cong came to Xue Baochai's room again, but the other party said with a troubled expression:

"Master, I’m in a lot of trouble tonight, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to serve you anymore,"

Jia Cong said with a smile:

"Then let Yinger come over,"

"Ying'er also happened to be inconvenienced. I can only blame you, Master, for being too cruel and not knowing how to show mercy to women."

Jia Cong felt very innocent. He could also be blamed for this, so he had no choice but to say:

"Well, let's take a rest for now."

At this time, Xue Baochai stepped forward and whispered in Jia Cong's ear:

"Master, why don't you go to the mourning hall to accompany Grandma Xiaorong tonight, she is guarding the hall alone, I'm afraid she will be frightened, and it will be bad if she gets frightened again,"

Jia Cong frowned:

"What does this mean? Xue

Baochai smiled lightly and said:

"It's not interesting. It's just that in the dead of night, Grandma Xiaorong, a weak woman, is guarding the mourning hall. If she is frightened, it's not because you didn't take good care of me. You are the only man in this backyard. Of course you should go and accompany her. She,"

Jia Cong heard the meaning of Xue Baochai's words, but felt a little unbelievable:

"Where is Baozhu? Isn't she here?"

"I need Baozhu's help with some things, and she was sent to another place by me."

Speaking of this, Jia Cong would be too stupid if he still didn't understand what Xue Baochai meant, and he couldn't help but said curiously:

"Didn't she object?"

Xue Baochai said resentfully:

"How could it be possible, I even drank three cups of tea before I could explain that all this is for you, Master?" Jia Cong sighed secretly after hearing this, Xue Baochai is better than Lin Daiyu ten times, even a hundred times, who is it ? She would be generous enough to take the initiative to find a woman for her husband.

Who wouldn’t like such a woman?

He smiled and said:

"Don't worry, I know it well, sir, and I won't treat you badly in the future,"

Xue Baochai said with a smile:

"A spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Master, please go quickly. Don’t waste time. It’s time for me to rest."

Thinking of Qin Keqing wearing a mourning dress in the mourning hall at this time,

Jia Cong couldn’t help but feel moved, and he felt even more fate. It's a bit strange.

Before, Jia Rong was flirting with Second Sister You and the others above Qin Keqing's mourning hall, but now it's the other way around.

It's Qin Keqing and herself above Jia Rong's mourning hall. It's really wonderful.

Jia Cong came to Qin Keqing's room again. The other party was startled by the sudden sound. He opened the door and saw her dressed in white. I felt pity for her. I lowered my head and said nothing and did not dare to look directly at Jia Cong.

"Uncle Cong, please come in." (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Creaking, the door closed and Jia Cong walked in.

The door opened and Jia Cong walked in.

……

After all, paper cannot cover the fire, [] not to mention that everyone lives in the same backyard.

The matter between Jia Cong and Qin Keqing was naturally noticed by interested people.

Except for Jia Yingchun, almost everyone knew about it, but everyone They remained silent in a tacit agreement, while Ping'er and Li Wan looked at Jia Cong with an indescribable look in their eyes.

In the days that followed, at Xue Baochai's suggestion, Jia Cong asked the third lady Jia Tanchun to join in the management of the fiefdom and help share a lot of affairs.

Under the management of the two people, all affairs on the fiefdom were carried out in an orderly manner. While waiting,

Jia Cong also took the time to visit Xifeng City and then returned to the fiefdom again.

Now that it is approaching the end of the year, the Jin people have suffered several big losses in their own hands.

I am afraid that they will not be able to survive in the next month or two. The war started again.

When there were only three days left before the Chinese New Year,

Jia Lan, who went to Kyoto to pick up Zicuckoo and her daughter, finally came back.

In addition to their mother and daughter,

Aunt Zhao, who had been taking care of them, was also picked up.

After meeting Jia Cong,

Zijuan finally found a place to vent her grievances, and her eyes instantly turned red and filled with tears:

"Master, this is your daughter. It was your incompetence that failed to get the surname Jia for her, so you took the surname Zhu on your own initiative. Please punish me."

Jia Cong quickly helped Zicuckoo:

"You gave me a daughter. It’s too late to thank you, so how can I punish you? And from now on, our daughter will follow your surname of Zhu, and will be called Zhu Jinyu."

Zijuan’s face changed greatly after hearing this:

"Master, you must not do it. Is there any child who does not follow his father’s surname? Outsiders will probably laugh at me."

"Who dares! When she grows up, you have to tell her everything about your past, so that she can understand your difficulties, which can also be regarded as a constant reminder to the master not to forget your kindness to me."

Hearing what Jia Cong said, at this moment , Zijuan felt that all the grievances she had suffered in her heart were worth it.

She had no idea what kind of blessings she had gained in her previous life, but she was able to meet such a good master.

Li Wan and others on the side were very moved when they saw this scene. With a husband like this, what can a woman ask for?

If she can find a husband like Mr. Cong, even death will be worth it. When

Qin Keqing in the back saw this scene, her eyebrows were filled with smiles.

After that day, she knew that there was such a thing in the world. A considerate and attentive person, thank you for listening to Miss Bao's advice, otherwise I'm afraid you will regret it for the rest of your life.

Jia Cong held his sleeping daughter in his arms, a small one, carved in pink and jade, extremely cute, while walking to the backyard, he said to Zijuan said:

"You are already my woman, and you no longer need to call yourself a slave. In this fiefdom, what you say represents me, and everyone must listen."

Jia Cong's words were expressed as a favor to Zicuckoo, and also to Xue Baochai. Listen, it is true that this woman is capable, and it is true that she is scheming.

From the moment Jia Rong died, she was able to get Qin Keqing to commit herself to her.

It can be seen that she is not simple. If no one controls her, there may be some trouble in the future. , and the arrival of Zijuan just made up for this position.

Because she suffered a lot of grievances, she gave birth to a daughter for herself.

Moreover, she has a dull personality and does not like power, so she is the best candidate to contain Xue Baochai.

……

When Zicuckoo arrived in Chen Pingguo, the news of Zhou Jiguo's defeat and the death of Jia Rong and others in the battle also spread back to Kyoto, and even to the Jia Mansion.

At this time, red lanterns had been hung in front of the Jia Mansion, and the house was decorated with lanterns and festoons.

Prepare to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

This year, the Jia Mansion can be said to be in high spirits and regain its glory, so it is natural to celebrate it well.

Although it is bitingly cold outside, it is extremely warm inside Rongxi Hall.

Everyone has a heater beside them and a hand stove in their hands.

The table in front of them is filled with food, and everyone has a smile on their face. ,

Wang Xifeng plucked a grape from the bunch of grapes on the table:

"These are grapes sent by Master Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of War. They say they are very sweet. My ancestors tasted one."Everyone has sent something to the Master of the Ministry of War.

It can be seen that the Jia Mansion today is really better than it was back then." No less, 017 Jia Mu caught the grapes and was about to put them into her mouth when a voice came from outside, belonging to Zhou Rui's family, with excitement and joy in her voice:

"Old lady, the concierge just sent a letter, saying it was from the second master Bian Guanlian."

When they heard that it was the letter from the second master Bian Guanlian, everyone in the room showed a touch of joy, they must have won the battle. When someone came to report the news,

Jia Mu quickly said:

"Send it in," everyone smiled and congratulated:

"Thanks to our ancestors, our Jia Mansion will soon have a few more people with titles."

"The great news is that the Jia Mansion will surely reach a higher level."

"This letter came just in time, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, my ancestors really like this gift,"

Jia Mu could no longer hide the smile on her face:

"I like it, I really like it so much, please read the content of the letter to me."

Wang Xifeng smiled and took the letter from Zhou Rui's hand, and couldn't wait to open it.

After just a cursory glance, she turned pale with fright. Her lips were trembling and turning purple.

Seeing her frozen in place without speaking, everyone joked:

"Girl Feng is talking, what are you doing so stupidly?"

"It really makes me anxious to death."

"You usually do things neatly and neatly. What happened today?"

"In my opinion, Sister Feng was so frightened by the credit in the letter that she was speechless,"

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and said with a chuckle, which caused everyone to chuckle again, and

Jia Mu at the top laughed and cursed:

"There are times when you, Feng Lazi, are frightened. It's really rare. Tell me quickly and don't make everyone interested."

Wang Xifeng's hand holding the letter turned white when she squeezed it hard, and her phoenix eyes were full of panic.

Standing there still saying nothing, seeing this,

Mrs. Xing on the side quickly grabbed the letter:

"I'll read it to the old lady."

But when she saw the content of the letter, she was even more unbearable than Wang Xifeng. She was so frightened that she sat down on the chair.

Mother Jia didn't have that much patience for her:

"You are so panic-stricken, you don't even look like a lady at all. Come on, tell me what was written in that letter,"

Mrs. Xing said tremblingly:

"Reply... back to the old lady, the letter said... that Mr. Lian and his friends were defeated at the border. Except for Mr. Lian, all the others fought... and died in the battle." At first, everyone did not fully realize what Mrs. Xing said. What do you mean?

After waiting for the reaction, there was a crash, and there was a sound of porcelain falling to the ground in Rongxi Hall.

Mother Jia at the top staggered, held on to one side of the chair, and said in a deep voice:

"What did you just say? Say it again."

"When I got back to the old lady, the letter said that Second Master Lian and the others were defeated. Except for Second Master Lian, all the other members of the Jia family, including Rong Geer, were killed in the battle."

Plop~

Jia Mu fell down from her chair and fainted. He fell to the ground, and everyone was in a panic when they saw this:

"Call the doctor quickly."

"Help the old lady back to her room."

"Send someone quickly to bring this gentleman back." ps: Everyone, please ignore the fact that Wang Xifeng is not very literate.
