The Red Chamber: Hang Qin Keqing at the start

Chapter 48 [048] Jia Baoyu worked his muscles and bones, Zhang Juzheng was half dead
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

At the same time, Jia Qiang bid farewell to Feng Tang and Feng Ziying with the Overlord Bow on her back, and rode back to Rongguo Mansion with Jia Baoyu on horseback.

The two walked slowly side by side, Jia Baoyu held the whip in his hand, cupped his fists at Jia Qiang and said:
"Brother Qiang showed his skills today, which opened my eyes. It really gave our Jia parents a face!"

Jia Qiang smiled lightly and said:

"Baoyu is too famous. I was able to draw this Overlord Bow because of my natural supernatural power."

Jia Baoyu sighed and said:

"If I have the power of Brother Qiang, how good would it be?"

Jia Qiang joked with a smile:
"Didn't you say that starting today, you will chop fifty catties of firewood every day? It's been half a day now, and you don't have much time left!"

Jia Baoyu's eyes trembled, and he hastily responded:
"I'm going to find Jiao Da in Ningguo Mansion and ask him to teach me how to chop firewood! However, I'm not familiar with Jiao Da, so I don't know if he will teach me?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said:

"Just tell him that I asked him to teach you how to chop wood, and he will definitely agree."

Last time, Jiao Da witnessed Jia Qiang's great display of power, killing those Jurchen assassins with a crushing posture, and led Jiao Da to assassinate Murhaqi, the second brother of Nurhachi, the leader of the Jurchen tribe in Jianzhou.

Since then, Jiao Da admired Jia Qiang and regarded Jia Qiang as the future hope of the Jia family.

It is no exaggeration to say that Jiao Da is willing to go through fire and water for Jia Qiang if he only needs a word.

Therefore, Jia Qiang had no doubt that as long as Jia Baoyu reported his name, Jiao Da would be willing to teach Jia Baoyu how to chop firewood.

It's just that Jiao Da has a straightforward personality and doesn't know how to adapt. Moreover, he is a bit arrogant in taking credit for saving Ningguo Duke Jia Yan, rebellious and rebellious.

If Jia Baoyu falls into his hands, it is estimated that Jiao Da will not show mercy to this handsome young man, and Jia Baoyu will probably suffer a lot.

But Jia Qiang would not remind Jia Baoyu, because it was Jia Baoyu who clamored to learn martial arts from him, so Jia Qiang asked Jia Baoyu to chop firewood and suffer hardships.

If Jia Baoyu can survive this month, it means that he is still a malleable talent.

If you can't survive, it can only show that Jia Baoyu is indeed a good-for-nothing who is "the most incompetent in the world, unparalleled in ancient and modern times".

Seeing that Jia Baoyu was still hesitating and hesitating, Jia Qiang joked and said:

"Baoyu, chopping fifty catties of firewood is not an easy task, it is time-consuming for beginners, if you don't hurry to find Jiao Da, you will not be able to complete the task today."

Jia Baoyu trembled slightly, opened his eyes, shook his head, cupped his fists and said to Jia Qiang:
"I'm going to chop wood now, let's take a step first and say goodbye!"

After finishing speaking, he galloped on and ran towards Ningguo Mansion.

Looking at Jia Baoyu's back, the corners of Jia Qiang's lips twitched slightly.

This time I went to the mansion of Feng Tang, the general of Shenwu, and got the Overlord Bow. This is really a treasure!
In addition to Overlord's Internal Strength, Overlord's Spear and Overlord's Halberd, he also knows Overlord's Archery.

Now with this Overlord Bow, it is just right for him to use the Overlord Arrow Technique perfectly.

Just now at General Shenwu's mansion, he shot an arrow with a bow and pierced two sparrows with one arrow.

Due to the great strength of the shot, the arrow actually went straight through the bodies of the two sparrows, instead of stringing the two sparrows on the shaft of the arrow, it broke through the body.

Seeing that the arrow flew into the clouds and disappeared, and I don't know where it landed?
Jia Qiang didn't think any more, and rode straight to the Rose Escort.

According to the agreed time, the dart team led by Liu Xianglian and Bao Yong should be able to come back this afternoon.

Sure enough, when Jia Qiang rushed to the bodyguard bureau, Liu Xianglian and Bao Yong had already returned.

Liu Xianglian also brought back nine carts of sweet potato vines.

Jia Qiang immediately gave Bao Yong a sum of money and asked him to buy two acres of land in the outskirts of Shenjing City. After the spring, he would plant these sweet potato vines in the field.

With these sweet potatoes with extremely high yields per mu, there will be no worries about military rations in the future, and they can also be sold to earn money.

That night, Jia Qiang hosted a banquet at Yuanyang Hot Pot Restaurant to welcome Liu Xianglian, Bao Yong and the brothers in the Escort Bureau.

After drinking and eating, Jia Qiang called Liu Xianglian and Bao Yong to a separate private room, and secretly ordered them to find out the inn where Nurhachi was staying as soon as possible.

In the early morning of the next day, after Jia Qiang got up, she went to the courtyard of Lu Xue'an to stretch her muscles and bones, and suddenly saw Jia Zhen hurriedly crossing the bamboo bridge and trotting towards this side.

Behind him were two servants and four servant girls.

Jia Qiang clasped her fists and saluted, "Patriarch, what happened? Are you in such a hurry?"

Jia Zhen clasped her fists in return and said with a smile:

"Today my family friend Huang Lao is coming to visit again, and he brought a respected old friend. They will come to you in half an hour. Let me tell you and bring a few servants to help you Clean up here."

After finishing speaking, Jia Zhen waved her hands to the two male servants and the four maidservants, and ordered:
"Quick! Clean the inside and outside of this Luxue nunnery. It must be clean and spotless."

Jia Qiang raised her eyelids, wondering, what is the identity of Huang Lao?Why did Jia Zhen pay so much attention to it?
"Patriarch, may I ask who is this Huang Lao?" Jia Qiang directly expressed the question in his heart.

Jia Zhen laughed dryly, and lied according to Emperor Wanli's instructions:
"Old Huang is a wealthy businessman. He is a prominent figure in the business world of Shenjing City. He has a lot of friendship with many important officials of the imperial court. That's why I attach so much importance to him."

"Oh!" Jia Qiang nodded dubiously.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but since seeing Huang Lao last time, Jia Qiang found that Jia Zhen was becoming more and more polite to her, even with a hint of inexplicable awe.

In fact, Jia Zhen is not a good thing, but an unworthy descendant who takes the lead in prodigal family.

Jia Qiang doesn't have a good impression of him, but now she still needs to use the Jia family's network to develop and strengthen her own power, so she temporarily pretends to be a snake and maintains a superficial friendly relationship with him.

After chatting with Jia Qiang about homework, Jia Zhen left to pick up Mr. Huang.

Half an hour later, Jia Zhen, Huang Lao, and a tall, thin old man with white hair and thin appearance appeared on the opposite side of the bamboo bridge.

Jia Zhen led the two of them across the bamboo bridge to Luxue Nunnery.

Jia Qiang smiled and said to Huang Lao: "Old Huang, don't come here!"

As soon as these words came out, the corners of Jia Zhen's mouth twitched, but she didn't say anything, because Jia Qiang was the prince, Huang Lao was the Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun, and it was not his turn to intervene when the father and son were talking.

The corners of Zhang Juzheng's eyes and mouth twitched crazily at the side, and he almost died of anger. How dare this kid call His Majesty Old Huang?

This is eating the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard!
Zhu Yijun did not tell Zhang Juzheng that Jia Qiang was his illegitimate son.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng felt that it was disrespectful for Jia Qiang to call Zhu Yijun that way.

If Zhu Yijun hadn't told Zhang Juzheng in advance, Jia Qiang would not have known that he was the current emperor, and, in order to test Jia Qiang's talents, Zhu Yijun would have asked Zhang Juzheng to conceal his identity in front of Jia Qiang. Li, call the Jin Yiwei again, arrest Jia Qiang and put him in the Imperial Prison, where he will be tortured and served!
Seeing that Zhang Juzheng's breathing was uneven and his face was gloomy, Mr. Huang seemed to get angry, so he hurriedly grabbed his hand and smiled at Jia Qiang:
"Qiang'er, let me introduce you. This is my best friend, Mr. Zhang."
