Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 168 Northern Xinjiang War 2
  Jia Cong looked at Lan Wei with drunken eyes and said with a smile: "Today... uh... I have caused trouble for everyone Lan."

Lan Wei was also half drunk, and she boldly hugged Jia Cong and said angrily: "You haven't grown up yet, and you don't care about your body. How can you drink like this?"

"It doesn't matter. Drinking with a close friend...well, a thousand cups is too little."

"You are happy, but the slave family feels sorry for you." Lan Wei whispered.

Jia Cong chuckled and said, "I'm willing to be drunk to death to make a beauty like Mr. Lan feel distressed."

"Bah, don't talk nonsense." Lan Wei tapped his forehead.

Jia Cong became more drunk, his eyelids gradually drooped, and he muttered: "I'll sleep for half an hour, remember to call..." Before he finished speaking, he fell asleep in Lan Wei's arms.

Lan Wei hugged Jia Cong and saw how drunk he was. She smiled, stretched out her hand to caress his cheek, and sighed quietly: "My good man, please don't forget what you said. The slave family will never be the same in this life." Pointing at you."

The lights were flickering and the ticking was ticking. The girl came to report that she was already in her prime.

Lan Wei looked at Jia Cong, who was sleeping soundly in her arms, and said she had slept for half an hour. It had been more than an hour. They were really annoying enemies. Although I couldn't bear to wake him up, I didn't dare to let him sleep here. Firstly, it was against the rules of the building, and secondly, I was worried that the elders of Rong Mansion would blame me.

"Third Master, wake up quickly. It's getting late. You should go back, so as not to worry the elders in the family." Lan Wei shook Jia Cong awake hard.

"Huh? Oh, what time is it?"

"You're right."

Ouch! Jia Cong stood up, took the hot towel from the girl's hand and wiped his face. He felt much more awake, and said with his hands, "Sorry, sorry, Cong, take your leave."

Lan Wei stood up to see her off, but her legs and feet were already numb due to his pressure, and she fell down as soon as she stood up.

Jia Cong hurriedly put his arms around her, held her in his arms, and said with a smile: "Young Master Lan can't bear to leave me, so you throw yourself into your arms?"

"Bah, you've been sleeping on someone's lap for more than an hour, and you're still talking about it," Lan Wei spat.

Jia Cong put his hand on her leg and rubbed it, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'll let you sleep on my lap next time."

"Don't move your hands or feet." Lan Wei quickly opened his claws and said angrily.

"Okay, okay, a gentleman talks but never touches." Jia Cong chuckled, leaned over and kissed her on the lips.

"You... are annoying." Lan Wei succeeded in his sneak attack, and immediately Xia Fei's cheeks covered her mouth and she said in anger.

Jia Cong has already left gracefully, without taking a single cloud with him.

When he came downstairs, Wangcai hurriedly greeted him, "Oh, my ancestors, the old lady has sent people to urge you three times. If you don't come down, I will have my butt blossom when I get back." He knew that Jia Cong's temper was so bad that he didn't dare to go up to urge him. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Jia Cong waved his hand and said impatiently: "Why are you urging me? The old lady still doesn't sleep at this late hour?"

Wangcai said: "The old lady is naturally worried about you now."

Jia Cong laughed: "You're nothing to worry about. With two soldiers like me standing here, is there anyone who dares to kidnap us?"

Zhang Yuanba and Yan Shuangying laughed together.

Although the night was banned, the four of them still went home without any hindrance. When they met the government officers who were patrolling the night, they reported their names to Rongguo Mansion and the journey was smooth.

  Early the next morning, Jia Cong was summoned by Jia Mu and scolded him, saying that he shouldn't have come back so late, what to do if he met a thief, shouldn't drink so much, shouldn't visit brothels, and shouldn't fight with others. Shouldn't...

Hearing this, Jia Cong felt dizzy and couldn't help but said: "Old lady Mingjian, it was this bastard Su Can who instigated me. I will find him right away and kowtow to the old lady to apologize, as well as my other sworn brothers." , all of them are in their twenties, and they still catch a kid like me getting drunk, it’s really hateful.”

As expected, Jia Mu fell into the trap. When she heard that he had sworn brothers, she frowned and said, "Nonsense, you are not a knight on the street. Why are you sworn in? Go find them and let me see what kind of people they are." "

"Hey!" Jia Cong hurriedly sent someone to call. For the first time, he felt that being a child was useful. He smiled and went over to beat Jia Mu's shoulders and said: "Old lady, please calm down. Later, you will teach them a lesson for Cong." ,You are Welcome."

Jia Mu nodded in appreciation and said: "Now that you have almost achieved your fame, I can no longer control you. The only thing is that you are not allowed to associate with gangsters. If I don't like these people, you are not allowed to interact with them again in the future."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Don't worry, old lady. These Cong brothers are all capable of learning from the same province. They are both civil and military, chivalrous and courageous. Two of them are also handsome, so the old lady will definitely like them."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "How good you brother Cong, you have learned how to take the blame and pass the blame. The good things are all yours, and the bad things are everyone else's. Are you so good?" All the sisters laughed and whispered: "Cong My brother will definitely use his plan to divert the trouble eastward."

Mrs. Wang was sitting next to her without speaking, her eyes were slightly closed, and she was twisting the rosary beads in her hand, like a Bodhisattva. She just looked at Jia Cong lightly, and occasionally showed a glint of light. No matter what kind of martial arts scholar or martial arts scholar you are, you are not allowed to do so. Go to Baoyu who bullied me.

Not long after, Su Can and others were invited by Wangcai. Now that they are sworn friends, Jia Cong's grandmother is equal to their grandmother, how can they not respect them, not to mention that Jia Cong's mother is also a first-class Rongguo lady.

Li Wan and the girls all fled to the back hall. Wang Xifeng was not afraid of danger and still stood in the hall.

"I'll say hello to the old lady, madam." Su Can and others came in and saw Jia Cong winking at him. He didn't know what he meant, but he kowtowed politely to say hello.

"Get up." Jia Mu nodded and said, "Who is Su Can?"

"It's me." Su Can quickly bowed.

"How is your father doing now?"

Su Can hurriedly said: "Thanks to the old lady, my father is fine. But he often laments that he is busy with military affairs and cannot go to the capital to kowtow to the old lady. For this reason, he is troubled day and night."

Jia Mu smiled and nodded, and said: "It's the same when you come. It's okay to tell him and me. As long as he fulfills his duties, it's better not to live up to the late Duke's high hopes than to ask for my blessing."

"This junior will definitely bring the old lady's teachings with me." Su Can bowed.

"Who is this young man?" Mother Jia looked at Zhao Lingkong.

"Junior Jinling Zhao Lingkong."

"Oh, what a handsome young man, he even outshines Brother Cong." Sister Feng looked up and down and said with a smile.

Zhao Lingkong blushed and didn't know what to say.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "My sister-in-law doesn't know that Lingkong is nicknamed 'Jin Ma Chao' in Jiangnan. He is naturally very talented, but Cong is confident that he will be even more handsome than him in two years, which will impress my sister-in-law."

Everyone laughed.

"Don't be ashamed, you still boast about yourself." Sister Feng rolled her eyes at Jia Cong. It's true that you are worse than him.

Zhao Lingkong regained his composure, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Cong's literary talent and martial arts are rare in the world. Yesterday's song "Broken Array" has already surpassed countless poets. Lingkong cannot match it."

Hearing that Jia Cong had another good poem, the girl at the door of the back hall hurriedly winked at Wang Xifeng, indicating that the girls behind wanted to hear it.

Wang Xifeng understood it at a glance, smiled slightly and said: "Why don't Lingkong write it down, and we can appreciate it?" Then he ordered someone to bring the pen and ink.

"Oh? Brother Cong, do you have any good words?" A voice came from the door, the girls opened the curtain, and Jia Zheng walked in.

"Why did the master come back so early today?" Mrs. Wang asked.

"Something happened in Northern Xinjiang. Your Majesty summoned the ministers of military aircraft and the governors of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion to discuss matters. They dispersed early," Jia Zheng said.

Jia Cong hurriedly introduced it to Su Can and others.

"Junior, please say hello to Mr. Zheng." Everyone kowtowed again to say hello.

Jia Zheng was very happy when he heard that it was the same year as Jia Cong, and that all provinces were liberated from the Yuan Dynasty, and they were sworn brothers. He nodded and said: "No need to be polite, get up quickly. I heard you have another good word just now?"

Zhao Lingkong hurriedly wrote it and submitted it, saying, "This was improvised by Brother Cong when we were watching the beacon fire last night. It was very well written."

Jia Zheng nodded, took it and read it again, and sighed: "Brother Cong's words clearly indicate his ambition to join the army to serve the country and ride on the battlefield. He is worthy of being a descendant of the glorious country. I went to court this morning. The Holy One said that now the border is in urgent need. Today The civil service examination will not be held.

Except for the injured, all the candidates who passed the national college entrance examination went to the Liaodong border fortress to guard the border. They were judged as heroes based on their military exploits on the battlefield. Three days later, they set off with the imperial army. The list will be posted in the afternoon. "

As soon as he said this, the whole hall fell silent, and several girls' exclamations came from the back hall.
