Chapter 61: Nonsense in earnest
When Mrs. Jia saw that Yingchun and Jia Cong were both well-born and gentle, they made people feel comfortable. She couldn't help laughing and asked Mrs. Xing: "Whose children did you bring here? Why are they all born like that?"
Looks neat and tidy?"
Everyone couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and Mrs. Xing even said proudly: "Old lady, guess whose child this is?"
Jia Mu smiled and said, "There's no point in guessing. Come over here and ask me to take a closer look."
After hearing this, Mrs.
, as expected, he is indeed the child of our Jia family..."
Everyone laughed, and Wang Xifeng hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, but no, the good ones all belong to our Jia family, and they all emanate from the old lady. There can be mistakes, but naturally they are all good."
Everyone laughed again. While laughing, Mother Jia pulled Jia Cong to take a closer look. She couldn't help but praise: "This child is born very well. Why didn't I notice it before?"
Jia Cong said hurriedly and politely: "Ancestor, I used to be too naughty and rarely came to my ancestor. Naturally, my ancestor felt unfamiliar. But ever since Mr. Bao saved me once, I always wanted to thank Bao in person.
Second Master, this is a lot of time, and my ancestor may feel familiar..."
When Jia Mu heard that he mentioned Baoyu's troubles with saving people again, she was naturally happy in her heart. She took his hand and smiled and said: "Knowing how to repay your kindness, you are indeed a good boy. But Baoyu has gone to school. I'm afraid you will be gone again."
I can’t see you anymore.”
After that, the old lady took his hand and asked him how old he was, whether he had studied, what he liked to eat, etc.
Jia Cong hurriedly replied: "Back to my ancestors, I am eleven this year. Because I am stupid by nature, I get a headache when I see books. Up to now, I can only understand a few words. I am not blind. My husband and I have done a lot for this.
When he hits me, he always says that Bao Yubao, the second master, learned the surnames of hundreds of families at the age of three, could recite the poems of thousands of families at the age of five, and is now only twelve
At the age of three, I have already composed good poems and written well, and the whole capital knows about it! Every time the master and his wife praise Baoyu, they beat me, but even if they beat me again, I can't keep up with the second master Bao. It's so easy for me to see you today.
Ancestor, please say something to me and tell them to stop forcing me to study..."
Jia Cong deliberately pretended to be pitiful, pulling on Jia Mu's sleeves and begging. Jia Mu heard Jia Cong praising Baoyu again, and what he meant was that Jia She and his wife were also praising Baoyu behind their backs. The old lady was so happy.
No small matter.
The old man was very high-spirited and said to Mrs.
While giving instructions, he bowed his head and settled Jia Cong: "In the future, they will never embarrass you about studying. If it happens again, just come to me and I will make the decision for you!"
Jia Cong hurriedly agreed.
When everyone saw Jia Cong coaxing Jia Mu into a happy mood with just a few words, everyone laughed secretly in their hearts, but no one dared to tell the truth.
Only Wang Xifeng smiled and dragged Jia Cong over, looked at him carefully, and then praised: "I always hear people say that a scholar should be looked at with admiration after three days of separation, but I still don't understand what it means. See you today.
You finally understand! Tell me, what magic elixir did you take that made you suddenly become so smart?"
When Jia Cong heard Wang Xifeng's question, he quickly said seriously: "Sister-in-law, do you really want to know?"
Seeing his suddenly serious face, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but be startled, then smiled and said: "Yes, I don't want to know, please tell me quickly."
Jia Cong said sternly: "This matter is originally a huge secret. I promised not to tell anyone else. But sister-in-law, you have devoted yourself to my Jia family, working day and night, so I won't tell anyone else."
Tell you."
When Wang Xifeng heard Jia Cong flattering her again, she couldn't help but feel proud, so she asked with a smile: "Just tell me what a big secret it is, so that I can learn more about it."
Everyone was talking and laughing, but suddenly seeing the uncle and sister-in-law looking serious, they stopped talking and looked at them, curious about what they were going to say. Even Jia Mu was attracted to listen.
Seeing that everyone was silent and looking at him, Jia Cong hurriedly cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Sister-in-law wants to know, so it's okay for me to tell you, but you must not tell outsiders..."
Wang Xifeng saw that he was verbose for a long time, and couldn't help frowning and urging: "Okay, if I don't say anything, please tell me quickly!"
Everyone couldn't help but become more curious and stared at Jia Cong without saying a word.
Jia Cong quietly looked around at everyone, and then said: "Sister-in-law, you also know that I have always been clumsy and tongue-tied, and I am annoying at all times. I can't blame others for this. Sometimes I even hate myself."
Wang Xifeng couldn't help but nodded after hearing this: "Yes, you used to be a really annoying little devil."
Jia Cong ignored her and continued: "I was also worried about this day and night, but I couldn't control myself, so there was nothing I could do. Until a few days ago, I fell into the water, and it was Bao who saved me from the water.
When I came out, I didn’t know that Second Master Bao himself fell into the water because of saving me, and he was sick for several days..."
Others were fine. Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang listened more attentively when they heard him talk about the events of the past few days.
Just listen to Jia Cong say: "Although my second master Bao saved me from the water, I was still frightened at the time. I even heard that the second master got sick because he saved me. I was even more ashamed and wanted to die to apologize.
, add my longevity to the second master..."
When Jia Mu heard what he said, she couldn't help but recite "Amitabha" and looked at Jia Cong even more like it.
Jia Cong glanced at Jia Mu secretly, and continued: "I was groggy every day for the past two days, and I didn't know whether I was dead or alive. One day, I was in a daze, and suddenly I felt like I was floating.
stand up……"
Everyone listened with interest as he spoke more and more mysteriously, even Mrs. Wang listened.
Just listen to Jia Cong continue to say seriously: "I fluttered out of the house and went to the yard, and a gust of wind happened to blow over, blowing me higher..."
When Jia Cong said this, someone suddenly shouted: "You have left your soul..."
Jia Cong nodded and said: "Yes, but I didn't know what was going on at the time. I just felt that I was flying higher and higher, and our house became smaller and smaller. I was so scared that I yelled, but no matter what I said,
No matter how I screamed, I couldn't make a sound. Just when I was scared out of my mind, my body suddenly tightened, followed by a bone-piercing coldness. I hurriedly looked down and saw that my chest had been tied up at some point.
It’s such a thick chain…”
"Oh my god, Jia Cong, Master Cong, this is a black and white chain that threatens your life. You must be dead by then..."
