At night, midnight.

After a busy day, Ping'er returned to the three-bedroom apartment and saw that Sister Feng had fallen asleep on the bed. She laughed angrily and said, "Grandma is becoming more and more responsible for being the master. She has assigned all the work to us." , grandma took a rest early."

As he spoke, he took off the hair on his head, put it in the jewelry box, and washed his face with the hot water Feng'er sent him.

Sister Feng was lying in the brocade quilt thinking about something, and didn't notice her coming in. When she heard her speak, she came back to her senses, saw it was Ping'er, and said with a smile: "Why do you come back so late? What did you just say? What?"

I wiped my face, put the water in the copper basin outside, and took another basin of water into the inside. I don’t know what I was washing...

Across the curtain, Ping'er smiled and said, "What are you thinking about, grandma? I said that grandma is becoming more and more capable of being a grandma now, and assigns all the work to us. In the past, grandma couldn't come back until the end of the night. I went to bed early today. As for why I came back so early and late... Hey, the eldest master can't live in peace for a moment. He either wants this or that, and I can't get close to him. There is also the second master Lian, too. Don’t worry…”

Ping'er seemed to have something to say, and was hesitating about what to say, when he heard Sister Feng sneer and say: "He went to provoke the little aunt in the old master's room again?"

Ping'er was startled when he heard this and said in surprise: "How did grandma know?"

Xiao Taohong was a concubine that Jia She only took two years ago. She only cared about her for half a year and then threw her away.

Sister Feng herself was surprised by her indifference when she said this. She snorted and said, "What can you hide from me? There are so many things going on right now, I'll just bear with it. After I'm done with this, I'll have another good fight."

Ping'er came out of the inner room, poured the water in the copper basin, returned to the inner room, took off his clothes and got on the bed. He was about to pull away the brocade quilt when he heard Sister Feng laugh and say: "I will sleep on my quilt today. In the past, I will sleep on my quilt." It was you who kept me warm, now I will warm you up."

She was the only two people in the room at the moment. Ping'er didn't feel shy, so she got into Sister Feng's quilt. It was indeed warm. After lying down, she sighed and persuaded: "Grandma, why bother making trouble again? What is the second master?" It’s not like grandma doesn’t know what kind of person he is. If the trouble really breaks out, even if his face is dull, how can grandma feel better? After all, grandma won’t be able to blame the second master in the future? "

Sister Feng sneered and said: "Silly Ping'er, today, do you still think about counting on him in the future? Usually the wives in the house secretly say that Baoyu is a demon of lust and only likes beautiful girls. But these years, I have seen Come down, I'm afraid the only one he's really dealt with is Xiren. Let's look at your good second master. I thought he was greedy and stubborn at first, but it would be better for him to go to Yangzhou to do serious things. He can make a fortune from Slender West Lake. We went to the Qinhuai River and went back and forth a few times! Now it's getting worse, even his father's aunt dared to steal it! He asked Qiang'er to clean it up, but when he got home, he got angry with me, saying that Qiang'er and I were unclean! Serious business He can't do anything, he's dirty and stinky, but he's still the same. Do you still expect him?"

Ping'er gently advised: "Grandma, even though this is the case, he is my serious husband after all. If you don't count on him, who can you count on? Grandma, please bear with me for two years and take good care of your body until you give birth to a son." Girl, I finally have hope in the future."

Hearing this, Sister Feng hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said: "Even so, there are some things that must be planned ahead. Ping'er, I planned a business with Qiang'er, and he agreed, but I always agreed. Don’t worry, I’m worried that he’s causing trouble in there!”

"ah?"

Hearing this, Ping'er couldn't help showing a hint of weirdness on her extremely delicate and beautiful face, and said, "Grandma still doubts him?"

Sister Feng's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, but she didn't show it on her face. She asked curiously: "Why can't I doubt him? Who is easy to get along with a man like him who does great things? If he doesn't have a hard face and a dark heart, he can't do it. It’s a big deal. So the more this happens, the more I doubt him!”

Hearing this, Ping'er slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's good that grandma can think like this, I'm still worried..."

Seeing her like this, Sister Feng cursed: "You little prodigal, what are you talking about? What are you worried about?"

Ping'er blushed and felt guilty after being scolded, but he still said stubbornly: "Can you blame me? Who told grandma to be so close to him on weekdays and not avoid being a little bit dissatisfied. Although she is a generation shorter, she is so old after all. He is born again He is so good, but he is still a young prince, and even the queen wants to marry his niece to him. Grandma is so close to him, why don't you allow others to think nonsense? "

Sister Feng looked at her with a strange expression and said, "Is he as good as you said? Why didn't I feel that..."

Ping'er laughed angrily and said, "You want to blame me? I can't see him twice in a year."

Hearing this, Sister Feng's smile became so weird that Ping'er got goosebumps and asked, "Grandma, what does this mean?"

Sister Feng moved forward and said seriously: "Ping'er, I thought about it, which one can we count on in the future? We can't count on anyone. You don't know your second master's temper, even if I think nothing happened. However, he can eat, drink and have fun, but he can also welcome guests and send them there. He still makes a living for anyone who spends money. But it is even more difficult for him to manage the family business and earn a share of the family business. Sure enough, there is a child. Half-girl, in the end, it’s up to us to take care of it. Instead of waiting until things come to a head and then planning, it’s better to plan early!”

Ping'er asked: "How does grandma want to plan? After all, we are just a girl's family, and can't even get out of the second door."

Sister Feng said seriously: "I invested a thousand taels of silver in Qiang'er, and I will add a large amount in the future to buy a shop in his guild hall..."

Ping'er's expression changed when he heard this, and he said anxiously: "Grandma, what shop is so valuable? You...don't be fooled by others..."

Sister Feng laughed angrily and said: "You don't see what kind of style he has now, and he still wants to cheat me out of my money?" The topic changed and he said: "However, I can't completely rest assured. . Coincidentally, he complained to me today that his West Road Courtyard, a club that buys naughty things for ladies from various prefectures, still lacks a general manager, so I recommended you, two hundred and four hundred and four dollars a year. The monthly payment of ten liang is higher than mine!"

Ping'er's face turned pale when he heard this, and he said anxiously: "What is this? Why did grandma sell me?"

Sister Feng spat: "Fart! The money is still yours, so why sell it? Besides, you're not the only one. Sister-in-law You from Dongfu also went there too."

Seeing Ping'er standing there in shock, with a pale face, Sister Feng couldn't bear it, but she still persuaded her: "What are you afraid of? Qiang'er said, not even a male fly can fly in there, and everyone who comes and goes is under the orders of each family. Madam, are you being naughty? Do you think it is some kind of improper place? The old lady just led my sister-in-law and the sisters at home to walk around inside..."

Hearing this, Ping'er's face softened a little, and he asked hesitantly: "Then, can't even Brother Qiang get in?"

"of course!"

Sister Feng said: "What do you think it does inside? All the people who come and go in there are official orders from various houses. Qiang'er said that without the official orders of a sixth-grade Anren, he is not even qualified to enter. There are so many If he dares to go in because of the official order, he will risk his life! What do you think, that I can push you into a pit of fire?"

Seeing that Ping'er no longer looked pitiful, Sister Feng hurriedly said: "There is such a big business here, I really don't trust leaving it all to Qiang'er. Besides, even if I can trust Qiang'er, I can't trust the other people inside. I can't trust the guy from Dongfu... If Qiang'er can really trust them, why would she need to ask me for advice on finding a suitable person? Ping'er, after I make a fuss, Jia Lian can really change, which is naturally a good thing. But even if we change, we won’t be able to make much money in the future, and we will have to rely on ourselves in the end. If he can’t change his behavior, and even gets worse, we can live alone together from now on. That’s how it will be in this life. In those years, after you have finished your life, you can close your eyes, stretch your legs, and just find a place to bury them. As long as we, master and servant, can be companions, we should not be lonely ghosts!"

Seeing her tears fall as she spoke, Ping'er finally relented and said, "Come on, grandma, why bother talking about this? I just went to do this job, I'm afraid that if I don't do it well, I'll smear grandma's face."

Sister Feng felt a little guilty when she heard this. She didn't know if Ping'er would eat her after knowing what was going to be sold. However, she didn't need Ping'er to sell it. She just received it, so she smiled and said: "What's the problem? ? It’s nothing more than chatting with those imperial ladies. After you go there, someone will teach you how to say it. Just remember one thing, the items sold there are all things for women, and the silks are of the highest quality. Wait, or make it into clothes or something, don't be ashamed."

Ping'er blushed when he heard this, and said with embarrassment and amusement: "Second Master Qiang is such an older prince, how can he still think about these things? It's really..."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Didn't you hear what he said? This man is a real man. He goes to the battlefield and returns to the battlefield wrapped in horse leather. What is he fighting for all his life? Isn't it just to find a wife and a shadow? Therefore, the money for this woman and children is the best! So he In the Xiluyuan Guild Hall, there are not only women's naughty things, but also children's naughty things. When the time comes, you will know after you go there."

As she said that, she sighed deeply and said: "Oh! I thought Sister Lin was pitiful at first, so what if she was protected by the old lady? She was also frail and sick, and she might be gone soon. But look at it now, Qiang Why does it hurt her so much! Madam Hou is about to get it as soon as possible. With such a big family property in the Duke's Mansion, plus Qiang'er being able to earn money by doing so. Oh, it's so annoying to compare people to each other. !”

Ping'er smiled and persuaded: "Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite! Grandma envies Miss Lin, but is Miss Lin really so easy-going? I still don't know what the temperament of the Queen's niece is. If she is really docile, That is naturally a good thing. If she is arrogant and lonely at heart, but appears to be quiet and gentle on the outside, then who would be sent to her if there is anything wrong with her?"

Hearing this, Sister Feng thought it made sense, but she still shook her head and said: "You haven't seen how well Qiang'er protects the forest girl. You will know when you see her. Not to mention she is the queen's niece. She is the queen's daughter, so she may not be of much use! Well, don't say anything else, just go to bed early. Early tomorrow morning, go to Dongfu to have a look and ask what you need to prepare."

Hearing this, Ping'er became a little anxious. He took Sister Feng's arm and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Sister Feng said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? It's not a separation between life and death. Even if you are not there, I have a chicken that lays golden eggs over there. Why don't you come over often to take a look? Don't worry, we won't miss each other. Go to sleep. Go to sleep quickly, my eye sockets hurt from staying up these past few days."

Hearing this, Ping'er stopped talking and turned his head, looking at the hazy moonlight outside the oil paper window. For a moment, his mood was complicated and difficult to understand, and it was difficult to fall asleep...

…

Dongfu, Jia Qiang Xiaoyuan.

In the inner room, no one was with me in bed today, only Li Jing was with me.

Since Li Jing followed Jia Qiang, she has hardly had a day of peace. Even Xiang Ling consummated their marriage, but she still held on.

Tonight she finally got her wish, but instead of being shy and happy, her face turned the color of frost and snow.

Because... I didn’t see red.

Although Jia Qiang repeatedly explained that this is what women who practice martial arts are like, Li Jing still burst into tears.

Until Jia Qiang proved with her actions that he didn't care about that and loved her equally.

This ordeal lasted until midnight. Jia Qiang felt that her waist was about to break, so she put down her two long white legs on her shoulders, lay down and started talking seriously...

"Sir, Grandma Qi has made a big plan and asked me to ask you to make an idea!"

After Li Jing felt refreshed, she looked at Jia Qiang who was panting and talked about business.

Jia Qiang said vaguely: "What's the idea of ​​that old white paper fan?"

Li Jing kneaded him to loosen his sore bones and muscles, and said with a smile: "Mama Qi said that our village outside the city has been noticed by others, but this was expected to happen sooner or later. Aunt Qi said He said that Zhuangzi was just a temporary place to stay. Now that most of the people have entered the city, Zhuangzi's role is not great. Instead of waiting for the enemy to plot and attack the old nest, it is better for us to set up a game and deliberately provoke The enemy comes to kill, no matter how good it is..."

"Kill them all?"

Jia Qiang's eyes lit up when she heard this, she sat up and said.

Li Jing smiled and said: "I asked grandma the same thing, but grandma said that if you set up a trap to counterattack, it would not be considered clever, it would only be considered inferior. In this way, you can return to happiness, but it will cause various forces to fight against each other. My fear is that it’s hard to say whether it’s good or bad.”

Jia Qiang frowned and said, "What should we do? Die together?"

Li Jing shook her head and said: "Mother Qi said that dying together is the best strategy. It will also arouse the suspicion of others. After all, how can such a coincidence happen that everyone will die?"

Hearing this, Jia Qiang said slowly: "I understand, this old lady really didn't brag. It was really difficult for the Bai family to listen to her at first. Is she trying to make Jin Chan escape from her shell?"

Li Jing smiled and nodded: "Exactly! Aunt Qi said, let the Sands Gang intensify their actions in Dongcheng, be more ruthless and domineering, expose some people who are cooperating secretly, and then turn around and return all the people from all walks of life. In Zhuangzi outside the city. If we go back and forth like this, within three days, there will be a large group of people surrounding Zhuangzi! Let's leave through the tunnel and set a fire. From then on, these people will really dive under the water, which can not only deter other people. Our tracking will make them despise us, and we can also turn these troops into a killer move in the real darkness!"

Jia Qiang frowned and said: "A fire can't burn the bones, right? How can outsiders believe it?"

Li Jing bit her lips, looked at Jia Qiang and said softly: "Sir, Grandma Qi said that as long as you nod, she will take people to dig up corpses in the mass graves. Dig enough for 300 bodies, and wait until the enemy comes to attack. , first fight through traps, kill and retreat at the same time, and then set a fire to burn them all after they enter the tunnel. In this way, it will become a circle."

After Jia Qiang thought about it for a cup of tea, she said: "You tell Aunt Qi that I will accept this matter. By the way, doesn't she want her grandson to study hard? Bring him over tomorrow, and I will

Help him find a good wife."

Li Jing said hurriedly: "Mama Qi said that she hopes her grandson can see the light of day and is not like her. She hopes that her grandson can study and play with normal children..."

Jia Qiang frowned when she heard this, then relaxed her brows and said: "That would be easier! You tell Aunt Qi and those old people who guard the gates, like Aunt Qi, who have made great contributions, all descendants will be willing to

Anyone who is studying can be sent to the Jia family to study together with the children of the Jia family! I will treat them as children of the Jia family, regardless of each other. Those who are willing to set up a household registration can also be registered under the name of the Jia family for future imperial examinations.

.”

This kind of thing is almost as difficult as going to heaven for ordinary people.

But for the current Jia family, as long as they don't focus on one point in time and spend three to five years doing it, it will be almost effortless.

But for those undercover people who cannot see the light, it is almost the same as a gift of reinvention!

Li Jing was overjoyed. With this kindness, she became more and more comfortable in doing things. She was about to stand up and kneel down to thank Jia Qiang, but she frightened Jia Qiang and hugged her, not allowing her to move again.

Of course, the reason cannot be that I feel that my little brother's skin is about to be worn out, but: "In the future, if you don't do everything by yourself outside, how can I let you dig up corpses in mass graves?"

Li Jing was greatly moved and said softly: "Of course I can't let you do these dirty things, I can only do them. Those people are all rebellious. If you don't take the lead in doing it yourself and don't completely subdue them,

How can I do my best for you?"

After hearing this, Jia Qiang was silent for a while, took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, turned on her horse and said: "My wife is so virtuous, I have nothing to repay, so I can only pledge myself to you!"
Chapter completed!
