Chapter 79 Jia Cong Returns Home
"Brother Cong, my father sent a message, asking us brothers to follow you. No matter how you teach us, as long as we keep our lives, it's fine!" Shi Nai's son Shi Ci scratched his head and laughed.
Needless to say, the relationship between the Shi family and the Jia family was very close. Now that Jia Cong was valued by the emperor, they naturally approached him without hesitation. Moreover, there were only two concubines, so it was an extra way out.
Seeing Shi Ci and Shi Si speak, Ma Chuang and the others all nodded in agreement.
"Okay, since you brothers have agreed, then you will follow me to take office in ten days! However, there are still some things for you brothers to do in the next few days!"
"General, please give your orders!"
"Although we are all from Shenjing, we have been away for more than two years. In the next few days, brothers, go and collect information from each military headquarters. Good or bad, as long as we can get the information, I will take it all! This will save us brothers from going there in the dark."
Everyone laughed and nodded without hesitation.
It might be difficult to talk about other things, but these people used to hang out on the streets, whether it was openly or secretly, who wouldn't know everything? With just a few soldiers, they could find out the styles of the bellybands worn by the wives of the deputy commanders.
After the deal was made, everyone dispersed and went home!
After Jia Cong got on his horse, he headed towards the mansion with two personal guards. When he arrived outside the mansion, he saw Jia Huan leading Jia Lan and Jia Rong from the East Mansion waiting outside the door, as well as a group of servants from the two mansions headed by Lai Da and Lai Er.
"Welcome back to the mansion, sir!" All the servants bowed to the ground, and Jia Huan and others also came forward to greet them.
"Meet Third Brother/Uncle!"
"Haha!" Jia Cong laughed loudly, threw the reins to his personal guards, and strode forward. He first patted Jia Huan on the shoulder and said, "Why are you still like this? Aren't you afraid that Aunt Zhao and Third Sister will scold you?"
Jia Huan chuckled. He was really not used to his third brother's closeness. He was hated by everyone in the mansion. He was truly the example of someone who was not loved by his grandmother and uncle. That was why he was always jealous of Baoyu.
"Brother Rong is here too?"
"Today is Uncle San's big day, how dare I not come to congratulate him!"
Finally, Jia Cong stepped forward and rubbed Jia Lan's little head again. After two years, Jia Lan had not changed much. He still looked like a little teacher, but his eyes revealed his closeness to Jia Cong.
"How is Lan'er's reading?"
"Uncle, Lan'er has never been lazy and has often visited the County Master. For Uncle's sake, the County Master is willing to give me advice! However, two months ago, the County Master was promoted to the governor of Suzhou and has already taken up the post. Last month, Lan'er sent me a letter!"
Jia Cong naturally knew about Wei Qi's promotion. Although he was not in the capital, he had never stopped communicating with his master. Moreover, Jia Cong also prepared generous gifts for his master on the three festivals and two birthdays.
The reason why Fang Yao helped to speak on the issue of Jia Cong's title was naturally because Wei Qi had written a letter to his master in advance.
"Third Brother Cong, the eldest master, the second master and eldest brother Zhen are waiting in the front hall!"
"Let's go together!" The two personal soldiers were naturally led by servants. Jia Cong didn't need to worry. He took Jia Huan and a few others and went straight forward to the front hall.
When they arrived at the front hall, they saw Jia She and his two companions as well as some old women and servants from the courtyard waiting outside the door.
"Welcome back, Master!"
Jia Cong waved his hand, hurried to Jia She and the others, bowed and said, "I was away from home and couldn't be filial to my father. Now that I'm finally back, I will visit my father every morning and evening to show my filial piety to him!"
"Get up, now you are a nobleman, and sooner or later you won't be needed in my courtyard anymore."
Jia Cong didn't say much after hearing this. He didn't have a very good impression of this father!
Then, he bowed to Jia Zheng and said, "I'm sorry that your nephew is away!"
Jia Zheng patted Jia Cong's shoulder vigorously. Why couldn't such a good Qilin child be his son? Now that Cong'er had returned, even he was outside the hall to greet him, but his own wicked son was hiding in the old lady's arms...
"Brother Zhen!" Finally, Jia Cong bowed to Jia Zhen.
The smile on Jia Zhen's face was a little stiff. Originally, he didn't have any good or bad feelings towards Jia Cong. After all, he was the master of the East Palace. But ever since the female guard Qin Lian came to Qin Keqing's side, he hated this guy to the core.
Is it necessary for you, a bastard from the West Mansion, to interfere in the affairs of the East Mansion? But now, Jia Cong's power made him a little afraid.
"Brother Cong, let's go in quickly, the old lady is still waiting!"
Then, everyone went straight to Rong Xi Tang!
As soon as they passed the Neiyi Gate, they saw a group of maids gathered together, with Xiao Que'er, Qingwen and Xiangling leading the way, and even Yuanyang and others were behind them. However, these maids had no complaints, because today was the home court of these three maids, and this was also the respect that the old lady deliberately gave to Jia Cong.
"Master!"
When Xiao Que'er saw Jia Cong coming in, her eyes lit up and she rushed up and threw herself into Jia Cong's arms!
Then, she burst into tears! It is not an exaggeration to say that Jia Cong and Xiao Que'er depend on each other for survival. Jia Cong had been gone for two years, and Xiao Que'er naturally missed him. Now that she finally saw him, she could not help crying.
Qingwen and Xiangling looked at Xiaoque'er who rushed over, with some envy in their eyes, and their two beautiful eyes were also red.
"Girl, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?" Jia Cong smiled and wiped Xiao Que'er's tears, then rubbed her head hard.
Feeling the familiar sense of closeness, Xiao Que'er finally stopped crying. She also realized that she was in front of many sisters and immediately shrank into Jia Cong's arms in shame.
After a while, she raised her head and looked at her master, with a smile on her face again.
"Master, I went outside the city today and saw you. I wanted to go look for you, but Sister Qingwen stopped me."
Hearing Xiao Que'er's complaint, Qingwen hurried forward to pull Xiao Que'er back, "Don't hold me captive, the old lady is still waiting, be careful or she will beat you with a stick!"
After that, Qingwen and Xiangling stepped forward and bowed to Jia Cong, "Welcome back, Master!"
Jia Cong stepped forward and hugged them both, "Well, the master is back!"
This scene of harmonious relationship between master and servant really made the maids in the courtyard feel heartbroken. From then on, no one dared to mess with these little girls in the mansion.
Jia Cong loosened his hand and saw that even Yuanyang, Ping'er and others in front of him were also bowing and greeting. He laughed and said, "Sisters, you are too polite. We are family, so we don't care about these things!"
"Hey, our eldest uncle is back, second sister-in-law comes to greet him!"
