After coming out of the ancestral hall, Jia Qiang was preparing to go to the coffin with Jia Rong when she heard the news from the front door that someone was visiting.

Originally, Jia Qiang didn't intend to meet, but when he took the greeting card and looked at it, his eyes narrowed slightly.

This greeting card actually belongs to Zhongqin Bo Yang Hua!

Yang Hua came back, and he didn't get any news at all...

Jia Qiang pondered for a while and then said to the housekeeper Li Yong: "Welcome into the front hall."

Then after whispering a few words to Shang Zhuo, Shang Zhuo agreed and left in a hurry.

Jia Qiang went back to her room, changed her clothes, and then went to the front hall.

…

Zhongqin Bo Yang Hua, in terms of age, is actually several years younger than Jia Zheng.

But my hair is already full of white, and I don’t know if it became white recently.

Yang Lu is tall and tall, and so is Yang Hua.

The yellow sand in the northwest did not make him rickety. Although his face was full of vicissitudes of life and his eyebrows were solemn and heavy, his back was as straight as a big gun.

It has to be said that the descendants of the Yuanping heroes are indeed not comparable to the founding lineage.

Even Niu Jizong and Liu Fang are far less powerful.

Just think about it, two generations of the Zhongqin family have guarded the town of Gansu for decades, raised 100,000 soldiers, and dealt with Xihu, horse thieves and northern Mongolia. How can they be compared to the wealthy families who hang out in Beijing all the year round?

Jia Qiang glanced down and thought about it, but then she saw Yang Hua first raised his hand in greeting, and said solemnly: "My Yang Hua, I have met Ninghou. I took the liberty to come here today to give Xie Ninghou a helping hand of ice. Secondly,

Return some of the Bingzhi. The Yang family is not rich, so we can only return half of it first, hoping that Marquis Ning will have more time."

Hearing this, Jia Qiang sighed, returned the gift with her hands, and said with shame: "Uncle Zhongqin, I am responsible for your son's death. Back then at Juyue Tower..."

Before Jia Qiang could finish speaking, Yang Hua said in a deep voice: "Ninghou's words are serious. I have asked the Dong family of Xuandehou Mansion and the Chen family of Dongchuan Mansion about the matter of Juyue Tower. It turned out to be just a contest between meritorious sons.

Although the Yang family is just an uncle's house, they will not find trouble in this kind of thing. Yang Lu's death was due to misfortune in the family. It was the Yang family's own fault and had nothing to do with Ninghou. And afterwards, the Jia family guild hall did set up a fighting arena.

, to resolve grievances.”

All these things are consistent, so Yang Lu can only be his eldest son Yang Qi

Hearing this, Jia Qiang hurriedly said: "I admire Uncle Zhongqin for his understanding of righteousness. However, this misfortune is still caused by me. There is nothing anyone else can do to help. Those ices are just a thought."

Yang Hua, however, shook his head inhumanely and said: "Since this matter has nothing to do with Ninghou, and the Yang family has nothing to do with the Jia family, how can I accept this favor? This is a thousand taels of silver, I don't know enough, the Yang family is in trouble

You can always make up for it by selling off your business.”

Hearing this, Jia Qiang narrowed her eyes, frowned slightly and said, "Uncle Yang, the Jia family gave out this ice not because of a guilty conscience or because they were afraid of anything. Since Uncle Yang has been back for a few days, he has also been to Dongfang."

The Chen family and the Chen family should know what I, Jia Qiang, am like.

I dared to lead troops to surround Zhao Guogong's mansion and Xiongwuhou's mansion. I dared to attack Jiang Lin in front of Jiang Duo. How can I be a timid person?

Yang Lu was one-on-one with me. He lost and I won. The grudge was as simple as that and there was nothing to be ashamed of.

I pay this salary just because I respect Uncle Zhongqin who has served the country to guard Gansu Town for decades and has made great contributions through hard work.

This respect has nothing to do with the death of your son, nor does it have anything to do with whether Zhongqin Bofu was a hero of Yuanping or the founding of the country."

The implication is that this is a matter of magnanimity.

Yang Hua also frowned and said: "You respect my uncle Zhongqin's house, so the Yang family must use your ice in vain?"

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "It doesn't have to be in vain. I will accept the one thousand taels of silver, but the Yang family does not have to sell their ancestral property. The remaining two thousand taels can be paid back in two or three years, or in three or five years. Only if the Yang family The Yang family was quite upright when it came to selling off their property to pay ice money, but who did I, Jia Qiang, become when the news spread? It was a heartfelt gesture, and it was fine that the Yang family didn't appreciate it, but there was no reason to push the Jia family into a disadvantageous position. .”

Hearing this, Yang Hua looked at Jia Qiang with indifferent eyes, and once again had a new understanding in his heart.

Rumor has it that this young man got to the position by lying and had some bad luck to achieve his current status. It turns out that he is a sensible person.

With this kind of response, very few among the younger generation of Yuanping heroes can do it.

Is a character.

Yang Hua took a deep look at Jia Qiang, then nodded and said: "Forget it, three years, two cents profit, the Yang family will pay off in due time."

After that, Yang Hua stood up and strode away.

Looking at this person's back, Jia Qiang frowned.

He could understand Yang Hua's attitude, although the Yang family could admit that Yang Lu's death was a family scandal of the Yang family and was killed by Yang Qi, the eldest son of the concubine.

But it is impossible to say that the Yang family has no grudges.

After all, they may think that if Jia Qiang hadn't beaten Yang Lu like that, Yang Qi might not have had the chance to harm others.

It is unlikely that he would form a grudge. Yang Huaneng took the initiative to come to the door, which meant that someone had mentioned something to him behind his back, and the Jia family was not responsible for this matter.

Most likely in the palace...

But it is even more impossible to conclude a deal without fighting.

The Yang family has become a destitute family. No matter what, it is impossible to make friends with the "initiator".

Seeing Yang Hua striding away, Jia Qiang had a headache again.

It is not unreasonable that the heroes of Yuanping can forcefully squeeze out the founding lineage from the army.

If the heroes of Yuan Ping were all such people, then he might as well stop thinking about anything else and just argue about it.

It is also impossible for him to weaken the pillar of national defense that harmed Dayan just for his own selfish interests.

Such generals will be extremely valuable talents even if they are to promote firearms in the military in the future.

But come to think of it, not all Yuanping's heroes are like this.

The Yang family has been training in a sandy place like Gansu Town for decades, so Yang Hua can have such a tenacious temperament.

How can other people be like this?

As far as the heroes of Yuanping that Jia Qiang has seen so far, there are only a few like Yang Hua.

But I don't know where this person's heart is.

And did the one in the palace subdue him...

But thinking about it, the palace would not let such a general go.

Not long after, Shang Zhuo came back and said to Jia Qiang, "Young gang leader will be here later."

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "Let's go see the encoffining people at the East Road Courtyard first."

…

East Road Courtyard.

Four young people of the same generation, Jia Zhen, Jia Ping, Jia Zao, and Jia Fen, had already scrubbed and changed their shrouds with Jia Rong.

They were so frightened by Jia Rong's remains. When they saw Jia Qiang, all four of them looked pale.

The coffin had been prepared earlier. After Jia Rong's body was put in, Jia Zhen, Jia Ping, Jia Zao and Jia Fen cried first.

Jia Qiang only stepped forward and took the incense stick.

The four of them retreated and went outside to prepare and send the coffin to the family temple outside the city.

You and Qin came to cry, but perhaps because they knew that Jia Qiang didn't like Jia Zhen and his son very much, they only cried lightly.

After crying, You asked Jia Qiang, "Brother Qiang, what do you want to prepare?"

After thinking for a while, Jia Qiang said: "Let's prepare for the funeral of the master."

You and Keqing were startled when they heard this and looked at Jia Qiang in shock.

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "I just went to see Mr. Jing. He is already confused. He only makes elixirs blindly and doesn't eat or sleep. It's probably just the past few days, maybe a few days after the national mourning. Mr. Jing Unlike Brother Rong, there will be a show. When the time comes, Gaoming will come to the door, and Grandma, Keqing...ahem, and Qin will come out to entertain them. The forty-nine days of mourning will definitely be better. Tired."

Youshi just pretended that she had not heard the word "Keqing", and after responding seriously, she said: "Then I will go and think about it and make preparations."

Jia Qiang nodded, Youshi took the first step, and the blush on Keqing's face had not yet dissipated.

The word "Keqing" is his nickname.

Except for the people closest to you, how can others shout?

However, Keqing is also a person who has studied etiquette. Yesterday, he was so excited that he leaned on Jia Qiang's shoulder and went back to think about it. He felt very guilty.

She wasn't worried about herself, after all, she had endured all the hardships and pains in life.

But I don’t want to ruin Jia Qiang’s reputation...

No matter what, it is not good to be like this in front of Jia Rongli.

Therefore, she gathered her thoughts and said to Jia Qiang: "Uncle, I'm going back too."

Jia Qiang looked at her thin face, nodded and said: "Let's go... go back and rest for a few more days, eat some nourishing food, and if you lose weight, you will be gone."

"Um."

Keqing's eyebrows were picturesque, she glanced at Jia Qiang and agreed gently.

This look is full of emotions...

Jia Qiang thought for a while and then said: "By the way, is it time for Qin Zhong to come? Wasn't he coming before? Why is there no movement?"
To be continued...
