Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 192
Wang Si, as the special envoy of Wang Chenghai, the king of the three seas, played Mission: Impossible, Impossible under the eyes of Shui Rong.Naturally, Jia Cong, a child, would not be involved in the matter of recruiting security, but he only heard Liu Hong mention a few words when he was in the palace.

As for the emperor's treatment of Dongping County's palace, Jia Cong was a little confused. No question, no trial, no judgment. In addition to confining the palace, he just dispatched troops and ordered [-] Beijing troops to station at Shanhaiguan.

However, Jia Cong can be sure that the seemingly calm water has long been turbulent, because Mr. She has been busy recently and has not touched the ground, and it has been a long time since he hit him.

At the beginning of July, Jia Lian took Wang Xifeng and Ping'er to the south to take office. Because there was no suitable housekeeper for a while, the old lady could only take charge of it herself temporarily and began to teach a few girls how to be a housekeeper.

Yingchun, Daiyu, Tanchun, and Xiangyun are all busy, especially Daiyu, even though she is reluctant in her heart, she also knows that she must learn the way of housekeeping after all, and she is busy from morning to night every day, learning from Jia Cong The supervision has been relaxed a bit.

Jia Cong originally thought that he could relax for a while, but he didn't expect that as the Jingcha and the big plan came to an end, Mr. Qingteng gradually had more leisure.

Ever since, the little fat man's leisurely free-range career has finally come to an end.

Xu Jin's method of teaching is very peculiar. He throws all the Four Books and Five Classics to the little fat man and asks him to recite them by himself.

He took Jia Cong to the prefectures and counties in Gyeonggi for half a month every month. In the hot days of July alone, he took Jia Cong to inspect the farmland and water conservancy of the prefectures and counties under the Shuntian Prefecture.

From Fengrun in the east, Fangshan in the west, Miyun in the north, and Bazhou in the south, Shuntian Prefecture ruled [-] counties, and none of them fell.

After being away from home for more than a month, Jia Cong finally returned to the capital with his mentor Xu Jin.When Jia Cong was standing outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion, Er Gouzi, who was guarding the gate, almost beat his third master with a stick.

"Hey, third master?"

Er Gouzi kept rubbing his eyes, looking at the person in front of him who was tanned like coal, and it took him a long time to react.

He hurriedly went up to meet him, and exclaimed: "Third Master, you are..."

Jia Cong angrily threw the reins to Er Gouzi, and said, "Wash Dabao clean, and the grass-fed bean cake is enough. These days can be regarded as hard for him."

Dabao's eyes turned green now, seeing Er Gouzi standing there in a daze, baring his teeth, spit splattered, and walked into the mansion with his head on Er Gouzi's back...

Returning home in a dusty world, he had to freshen up before going to pay his respects to the elders.

I don't know whether it was the comfort at home or the fatigue on the road, but Jia Cong fell asleep in the bathtub.Hearing the news, Grand Master Xi rushed home and pushed open the door, looked left and right in the tub, and finally recognized that this piece of black charcoal was his own son.

The noise in the room woke up the dazed Jia Cong, Master Xi picked up the cub and rubbed it red, and then brought his newly dressed son to Rongxi Hall.

……

"Laugh if you want to..."

"Giggle..."

The girls in the room covered their mouths and laughed, and even the old lady couldn't help but ask, "What did your teacher take you to do? Why did you get a tanned black hair, a good white and fat kid? "

"Heitantou..."

Hiding behind Yingchun, the little girl Xichun was still parroting her mouth, her big eyes flickering to tell whether this Heitantou was her dearest and dearest third brother.

Jia Cong looked lifeless, and smiled wryly: "Since July, Gyeonggi has been dry and rainless, the teacher received an order to inspect the farmland and water conservancy in Shuntian Prefecture, and my grandson followed the teacher all over the [-] counties under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture. The sun is scorching, how can you not get tanned?"

As soon as she heard about farmland water conservancy, the old lady thought of the recent report from Zhuangzi in charge of the mansion.

She put away her smile, and asked solemnly, "Is it really that serious?"

Jia Cong nodded, and replied bitterly: "The water level in the river has dropped, and more than [-] wells have been drilled in Jizhou, half of which can't get water. Old lady, how is the situation in our village?"

Jia's mother sighed and said: "The managers of the Zhuangzi from all over the place have come to ask for help. If the mansion does not send some food, the farmers may not survive the winter."

"Old Taoist Zhang from Qin Tianjian said that the drought is likely to end in October. Selling grain and digging wells are indispensable. My son discussed with elder brother Jing and entrusted Xue's family to buy more grain from the south. The second child also The master craftsman from the Ministry of Industry was invited to try to drill a few deep wells before the end of the month."

After Jia Amnesty explained his arrangement, the old lady nodded.Drilling wells is expensive these days, and deep wells are even more expensive.Fortunately, they copied Lai's house and other Shushu's nests before, and the relatives' garden is almost built, and the family is not really short of money.

Snoring, snoring...

Everyone in the room looked at the owner of the snoring sound, and at some point, the little black fat man had collapsed on the chair and fell asleep.

Jia Amnesty originally wanted to carry his son back, but the old lady said in a low voice, "Don't make a fuss, let's carry him to the Nuan Pavilion and let him sleep well. I'm afraid the child will suffer a lot."

When Jia Cong woke up, it was already the beginning of the lights outside.

He widened his eyes in bewilderment and looked around, and it took him a long time to realize that this was the Nuan Pavilion of Rongxi Hall.

"The third master is awake? The servants are helping the third master to wash up. The old lady and the master are already waiting in the front hall."

Yuanyang came over with a basin and waited for Jia Cong to finish washing.By the light of the candle, Jia Cong looked at the black charcoal face in the bronze mirror, and laughed at himself: "It's over, the good Mr. Ruyu is gone!"

"Puchi..."

Yuanyang smiled and comforted him, "Third Master's face is pale, and it will come back in a few days."

"Really?"

"Slaves dare not lie to the third master, it is absolutely true."

Jia Cong didn't have to be a badass, but it was too dark.With a white crescent moon painted on his forehead, he could sit directly on the Kaifeng mansion court and take a gavel.

After being comforted by the mandarin duck, Jia Cong finally stopped his thoughts, tidied his clothes and went to the front hall.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the garden of visiting relatives has entered the final stage.

At today's family banquet, the old lady proposed to invite relatives to visit her.Everyone in the whole family was overjoyed, even Jia Baoyu, who never liked ordinary things, thought to himself: "Big sister can finally go home!"

"Boss, please go to the play tomorrow, and it is best to invite your mother back to the family before the Double Ninth Festival."

The old lady has been waiting for this day for several years. Even though the Rongguo Mansion is now standing at the top of the pyramid of the nobles of the Great Xia, Yuanchun's great fortune has become her obsession and demon.

After ordering Jia Amnesty, she turned her attention to Jia Zheng.

"Second brother, you should pay close attention to it these few days. If there is any shortage of Wenwan decorations in the garden, you can get them from the mansion. After the mother-in-law finishes her visits, you will be able to leave it out."

"The old lady is right. The matter of the second brother's release is now missing a reason. There must be a decree from the concubine's concubine's palace. When the time comes, after one or two operations, the matter of the second brother's release will be settled."

These days, the Ning and Rong governments have spent a lot of energy on Jia Zheng's release.

It's a pity that the two cabinet ministers, Qi Bohan and Chu Bangzheng, were fighting for such an important position as Zhejiang Xuezheng, how could they let go.

Fortunately, Jia's family still has a great killer for the concubine to visit relatives. The snipe and clam compete for the fisherman's profit. The emperor has promised that after the visit, he will grant Jia Zhengguan the fourth rank and learn from Zhejiang.

"Also, I heard that there are more refugees outside the city. Since our mother has received the holy favor, our family has to do nothing. I will take the girls to Qingxu Temple to pray for blessings for your majesty and mother in the future. .The family will take some money and set up a porridge shed under the city wall in the name of the empress.”

It was about Yuanchun, and the shrewdness of the old lady was vividly reflected.Jia She nodded in response when he heard this, the dinner was extremely harmonious, the Rongguo Mansion was united like never before, twisted into a single rope, and fully prepared to welcome Yuan Chun to visit his relatives.

……

Jia Cong, who has been tossing away for more than a month, rushed to the Dragon Head Palace early in the morning on the second day back to Beijing.

As soon as he entered the gate of the Dragon Head Palace, a big fluffy head hit his chest, and the big cat threw Jia Cong down, sniffing around, almost sticking out his tongue to lick it.

"Stop smelling it, I was right!"

Jia Cong helplessly asked Liu Hong, who was watching the fun, and he hadn't seen him for a month, and the half-grown cat could now be called a big bug.

With great difficulty, Liu Hong pulled Jia Cong out from under the tiger, helped him pat the dust on his clothes, and spun around to look at the person in front of him.

In the end, he couldn't help gloating: "Don't say that the general almost didn't recognize you, even I can't believe that the black charcoal in front of me is really you."

"It's better if it's darker, it's like my Wu Xun disciple of Daxia!"

Jia Cong hurriedly bowed to the owner of the voice that suddenly appeared: "I pay my respects to the saint, I only hope that God will help you with virtue, Haiyu Xianning, and the saint bows to all blessings."

With the support of Dai Quan, Liu Ji walked up to Jia Cong. After looking him up and down, he raised his hand and patted Jia Cong's head, and said with satisfaction: "That's right, you're dark and refreshed. It seems that Xu Qingteng took you Go out of Beijing, take the right one. Go, tell me about the situation in Shuntian Mansion."

After the last stroke, with the efforts of the imperial doctor, Liu Ji's numb side finally recovered a lot.

Now, with the support of Liu Ji and Jia Cong, the old man took his two grandsons and walked slowly by the Taiye Pond. Jia Cong told the old man who had been worrying about his life all his life when he encountered something during his inspection of Shuntian Mansion. The cat followed behind the three of them, sniffing and digging, sometimes going around to the front, wagging its tail and waiting for the three of them.

After walking around the Taiye Pond, Liu Ji, who was a little tired, sat on a recliner under the shade of a tree. Liu Hong and Jia Cong moved Pan Tuan to sit beside him.

"Hong'er, you will leave Beijing after the Mid-Autumn Festival to preside over the disaster relief in Shuntian Mansion. Fatty, you can go with Hong'er."

Liu Hong was overjoyed, and patted his chest excitedly: "Don't worry, grandfather, grandson has already handled this matter properly. If something goes wrong, you will beat grandson!"

"hope so……"

The old man seemed to have different opinions on Liu Hong's optimism, but he didn't say anything extra, just glanced at the helpless Jia Cong, and said with a smile: "Little fat man, if something goes wrong with the disaster relief, I will not only beat Hong My son's board, I want to hit your board!"

Ok?
"Master Saint, you are being unreasonable. The Haikou boasted by the fourth brother is not my business!"

Hearing Jia Cong's wailing, Liu Hong was still a little baffled.

But the old man laughed and winked at the two of them: "As the saying goes, brothers are brothers, and they share blessings and share hardships. How can you leave Hong'er alone?"

……

Liu Hong sent someone to fetch the latest documents from Shuntian Mansion, and the two of them lay down on the stone table under the shade of a tree, head to head on the table, and began to study it carefully.

According to the document records, Shuntian Prefecture has already had more than [-] victims due to the drought. There are porridge sheds outside the four gates of the capital, and enough food has been sent to the prefectures and counties.

Seeing that there were only more than [-] victims, Liu Hong was confident and heroic. He patted Jia Cong on the shoulder and said, "Brother Cong, don't worry, brother, I will definitely handle the errand given by my grandfather properly, and I won't get you beaten." .”

Jia Cong didn't even raise his head, flipping through the official documents of various counties in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Fourth brother is too optimistic, none of these official documents are real data..."

As he said, he spread out the official documents of Hu County, pointed to a sentence on it and said: "Look here, He Qingyun, the county magistrate of Hu County, reported that there are more than [-] victims in the county. Donate food to help the government provide disaster relief, and all the victims have shelter. How can it be possible that there are only a thousand victims in a county under severe drought?"

Liu Hong shook his head and retorted: "Hui County is not only close to the canal, but also has the Lugou River and Huo River in the county. The county is rich and rich, and there are many water conservancy projects. It is reasonable to suffer less disasters and fewer victims."

"The water conservancy in Huo County is indeed excellent, but these rivers and canals are controlled by big households, and they usually pay for it. There will always be a ladle for the common people to survive. But fourth brother, there is not much water in the river right now. It’s enough to irrigate their own land, how can they let go of the dam to send water to the people?”

Jia Cong thought of the people whose heads were bleeding because of a small river that was about to dry up, and sighed: "On July 22, my teacher and I dug a new dam in Gaozhuang by the Hu River. The owner is a big family in Gaozhuang. Because of the fame of the owner, Zhuangzi in the left and near dare not speak out. They can only watch the rice seedlings in the field dry up and die. There are hundreds of nearby victims just because of Gaozhuang's blocking of water. ..."

"Hundreds?"

Liu Hong's hand holding a pile of official documents trembled inexplicably. He suddenly felt that the official documents in his hand were as heavy as a thousand weights, and he secretly looked at the Supreme Emperor who was resting on the rocking chair in the distance.

Jia Cong nodded, his face serious.

He leaned into Liu Hong's ear and whispered, "Fourth brother, the teacher didn't hurry back to Beijing to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. The officials in various states and counties have committed crimes. He came back to invite Tianzijian."

Dai Quan walked gently to the rocking chair with a plate of sliced ​​cold melons, and asked puzzledly: "Saint, Your Highness has never touched these things before. If something goes wrong, wouldn't it be a big mistake?"

Liu Ji raised his eyes, looked at the two people who were meeting each other in the distance, and said with a chuckle: "The chicks always leave the nest to meet the wind and rain outside, and it just so happens that Xu Qingteng decided to try his tricks in Gyeonggi." The new law, let these two children follow to see the world."
