I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 216: Talented and Ambition-filled

Pigeons generally do not fly at night, but trained homing pigeons can fly at night.

However, flying at night is not safe enough for homing pigeons.

Unless there is particularly urgent information to be transmitted, carrier pigeons are usually not allowed to fly out at night.

But for Jia Cong, this was just a test.

Of course, there is no need to release pigeons late at night.

Jia Cong asked people to feed the carrier pigeons.

It was not until the next morning that the pigeon was released.

Not long after Jia Cong had finished his breakfast, Tanchun came over again.

It can be seen that in Tanchun's heart, she is still quite concerned about her younger brother Jia Huan.

If it weren't for Aunt Zhao's interference, the relationship between the two siblings would probably have been even better.

After Tanchun arrived, she couldn't help but ask, "Third brother, is it true that Huan'er's pigeon didn't come at all? Is he just exaggerating?"

Jia Cong laughed and said, "Third sister, you guessed wrong. The carrier pigeon flew back last night, and I released it again this morning."

"As long as Brother Huan can bring back the information I passed on, this test will be considered a success."

Hearing this, Tanchun couldn't help but say with joy: "I didn't expect that Huan Ge'er is not completely useless. He actually has some good points."

After a moment, he added: "However, this is probably not his ability. This is probably the credit of Zhao Da."

Jia Cong also agreed deeply with Tanchun's words.

However, even with Zhao Da's ability, the credit will still be attributed to Jia Huan.

Jia Huan couldn't get back in time for the time being, so after talking to Jia Cong for a while, Tanchun said goodbye and left.

Then in the afternoon, Tanchun came to Jia Cong again on time.

Sure enough, not long after, Jia Huan rushed in happily holding a note.

He handed the note to Jia Cong and asked proudly, "Third Brother Cong, how is it?"

Jia Cong took the note and said with a smile: "Not bad, very good, the test is completed."

Hearing this, Jia Huan immediately asked happily: "Third Brother Cong, now that the test is completed, will you support me in raising homing pigeons? How much silver can you give me?"

Jia Cong did not answer this question first, but asked: "Brother Huan, the skills of raising homing pigeons were all taught to you by Zhao Da, right?"

"Is Zhao Da's ability in raising homing pigeons better than yours? Does he have other people to help him?"

Jia Huan couldn't help but say proudly: "Third Brother Cong, let me tell you that I am a genius, although I studied under Zhao Da."

"But my current abilities have already surpassed those of my predecessor and are now superior to those of Zhao Da!"

Without waiting for Jia Cong to speak, Tanchun frowned and scolded, "Brother Huan, don't brag in front of your third brother. Just tell the truth honestly."

When Tanchun glared at him, the arrogant look on Jia Huan's face suddenly disappeared.

He lowered his head and whispered, "Zhao Da's ability is only slightly better than mine, but I will soon be able to surpass him."

"He has a few good fighters around him, and they are all Zhao Da's distant cousins."

Hearing this, Jia Cong patted Jia Huan on the shoulder and said, "Brother Huan, I will give you money to help you raise a large number of usable pigeons."

"However, you can't keep them in Rongguo Mansion. Not only will there be too many people there, but I'm afraid the Second Master won't allow you to keep homing pigeons in the mansion."

"You can keep this carrier pigeon at the Zhao family. I'm afraid this matter will depend more on Zhao Da."

"And you, you must gradually learn how to control your subordinates, learn how to use both kindness and force to win their hearts." "In the future, you must not be so petty. It would be best if you could make Zhao Da and others follow you wholeheartedly."

"Well, I'll give you 1,000 taels of silver first, and you go back and ask Zhao Duoduo to train suitable carrier pigeons."

"If the Zhao family doesn't have enough space, you can choose another house outside. If you don't have enough money, you can ask me for it."

When Jia Huan heard the amount of 1,200 taels of silver, his eyes were so stunned that he could not even move. He was so shocked that he could not be more shocked.

In his entire life, he had never seen one thousand taels of silver at one time.

Now, at this moment, he has one thousand taels of silver?
Obediently boom!
One thousand taels of silver, how many sugar figures can you buy?

It can at least fill three rooms!
When the time comes, just dive into the pile of sugar men and eat whatever you want.

He was so absorbed in his thoughts that before he knew it, a trace of crystal saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth.

Tanchun couldn't bear to see him being so useless, so she slapped him back to his senses.

Jia Cong smiled and took out a silver note worth one thousand taels and handed it to Jia Huan.

Jia Huan took the banknote and held it tightly in his hand. For a moment, he felt a surge of blood, making his face flush and his whole body feel dizzy.

He grinned and said, "Brother Cong is a righteous man. Don't worry. With this money, we will be able to train a large number of pigeons soon."

Next, Jia Huan focused his entire attention on the one thousand taels of silver note, and he didn't even hear clearly what Jia Cong said to him.

I don't know how I got out.

When he got outside the door, he didn't come to his senses until Tanchun slapped him a few times.

Tanchun looked at him and said, "Come with me. I have a few words to tell you."

Jia Huan subconsciously took a step back and asked cautiously, "Third sister, what are you going to do?"

Tanchun frowned and said helplessly, "I have no intention of taking your money. Come with me. I have a few words to tell you."

After hearing what Tanchun said, Jia Huan felt a little relieved.

He couldn't help but said, "Third sister, this is what you said. You can't ask me for money or borrow money from me later."

Tanchun said with a dark face: "Come with me quickly, there is so much to say, how can there be so much to say?"

Soon, Tanchun led Jia Huan into her own courtyard in the Grand View Garden.

After entering the room, Tanchun sent all the maids out and asked Jia Huan to sit down.

Jia Huan held the banknote tightly in his hand, his face full of vigilance.

Obviously, he was still not very confident about Tanchun.

Tanchun was so angry that she fell backwards. She took a deep breath and then said:

"Brother Huan, this time, Third Brother gave you one thousand taels of silver."

"This is Third Brother's trust in you, but isn't this also a test from Third Brother?"

"If you take this 1,000 taels of silver and do nothing with it, or even embezzle it all."

"Third brother probably won't say anything, and he will even treat you the same as always, because he doesn't need the 1,000 taels of silver."

"But if you want Third Brother to help you again in the future, it is absolutely impossible."

"Although you are not good at literature or martial arts, you are lucky. It is rare that you have caught the eye of the third brother and won his favor."

"But if you want Third Brother to support you, you must also demonstrate your abilities."
