Chapter 96: Meeting the Saint Again

"Cong'er, kneel down quickly and kowtow to Madam!"

East across the courtyard, Mrs. Xing's main room.

Jia She’s concubine Yang, named Cuiyun, led her son to Mrs. Xing.

Since Jia She was in bed, Mrs. >
While Ms. Yang asked her son to kowtow nine times, she knelt down in front of Mrs. ."

"If you have anything to say, just say it. I'm not in the mood to fight with you here."

Mrs. Yang could see that Mrs. Xing was a little unhappy. , hurriedly said: "I have always been in poor health, and this lady knows that. Now Cong'er has reached the age of going to school, and I know that I am shallow and crude, and I have no knowledge. I'm afraid that Cong'er being by my side will delay... Misled him.

Therefore, I want to beg my wife to take Cong'er under her knee to educate me. On the one hand, he can learn some knowledge and manners by following her, and on the other hand, she is a noble person. He can be raised under my wife's lap. It is much better for him to follow my wife than to follow me.

Please, for the sake of the master, please agree to my request. As long as the wife is willing to agree, Cong'er will He is your biological son. When he grows up, ask him to take care of you until you die, so that the relationship between mother and child will be complete." When Mrs. Xing heard this, her expression suddenly changed, she seemed to have heard it. , Mrs. Yang means to adopt her son into her name!

This...

Mrs. For a man, it is as inspiring as a student from a poor family who became a first-class prime minister through hard work.

It can be said that now she has everything in terms of identity and status.

The only thing missing may be that there are no children around.

This was also destiny. She had wanted to be pregnant countless times, but unfortunately God didn't give it to her, and she had no choice.

It was nothing at all. Without her son to tie her down, she could live the noble life of a wife in a carefree manner.

But now, Jia She is about to die, and then she will truly be helpless.

So, as soon as Yang finished speaking, her heart was moved, but she just suppressed it and asked: "You are serious about what you said, are you really willing to let Cong'er be raised here by me?"

　Since ancient times, the wife of the main wife has nothing to do, and if there is one from the side wife, there will always be robbery.

Now, luckily, she didn’t have any intention of snatching him away, but the other party took the initiative to send her son over!

Mrs. Yang also looked a little reluctant to give up, but said: "He has the flesh and blood of me, so I am a little bit reluctant to let go, but as a woman, my wife should be able to understand me. Hard work.

Although he is a descendant of the Jia family, as long as he follows me, others will dislike him as being raised by his aunt and will not treat him as a serious master.

Only by following my wife, can he have a good future in the future... This is my selfish intention, and I dare not let my wife know about it.

But my wife can rest assured, I have promised to give Cong'er to her. My wife’s upbringing, I won’t compete with my wife for anything from now on. I just ask my wife to show some kindness to me and allow me to come over to see him occasionally in a month or two. It’s considered a mercy of my wife.”

Mrs. Xing nodded, she agreed with Yang's statement.

In any case, she is the wife of the wife, and Cong Boy follows her, which is not comparable to following Yang. She can understand Yang's thoughts. If she had nothing to ask for, she wouldn't have given her a good son.

He was happy in his heart, and his words inevitably became gentle, and he said to Yang: "You don't have to say that, you also know me. I am not the kind of person who is mean and doesn't miss old feelings. Even Cong'er Keep him by my side, and I won’t let him forget you as his biological mother.

Don’t worry, from now on, Cong’er will follow me. Whatever I have here, Cong’er will also be with me. A share."

Mrs.

"Madam..."

Jia Cong called out timidly.

Mrs. Yang hurriedly patted him and told him: "From now on, you are my wife's biological son, please call me mother."

"Mother~" Jia Cong As expected, he was very obedient.

When Mrs. Xing heard the voice for the first time in her life, she smiled happily like a mother-in-law.

Touched Jia Cong’s head and said with a smile: “Silly boy, from now on you will still be called Mrs. Whether a biological son or a ceremonial son, he is called wife.

Besides, she never thought that Jia Cong would really treat her as her biological mother after he raised her by her side. She and Yang just took what they needed. If Jia Cong was asked to call her mother, others would probably think that she had robbed someone else's child because of her status.

Seeing that Yang and Jia Cong obeyed her words like an imperial edict, Mrs.

Later, Yang packed up Jia Cong’s personal belongings one by one and sent them to the main room without mentioning them.

…

I don’t know how many days later, outside the city of Shenjing, which was swept by the last wave of cold wind of the year, a group of six riders finally arrived.

　“困~~”

The horses all stopped and moved forward under the control of their masters. Wang Dashuan raised his eyes and looked at the familiar city gate, and sighed with a smile: "Finally it's... I’m going back to Beijing before the end of the year!”

Jia Lian turned around and glanced at the two Mongolian girls who had huge, bright eyes and were shocked by the magnificent city wall in front of them. Then he turned his head and looked towards Guard Feng Fei: "How do you feel?"

Feng Fei was a little ashamed: "Thank you, Second Master, for caring about me. I am fine. It's all my fault. If it weren't for me being injured, Second Master We can return to the capital at least two days early."

"We are already very fast. Besides, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be the injured one.

Okay, after entering the city, you go back to your home first and make sure your family is safe. The rest of you, follow me to the palace."

"Yes."

Feng Fei followed Jia Lian's instructions and took the lead to report home. Manfu was overjoyed to learn that Jia Lian had returned safely.

　……

Daming Palace, Yangxin Hall.

Emperor Ningkang was about to take a lunch break in Nuange Pavilion. When he heard that Jia Lian had returned to Beijing and had entered the palace, he still put on his dragon robe and summoned him in the palace.

After waiting for a while, Jia Lian strode in with his head slightly lowered under the guidance of the inner prisoner.

"Jia Lian, a humble minister, pays homage to Your Majesty."

"Get on your feet."

After the simple etiquette between monarch and minister, Emperor Ning Kang watched as he stood up Jia Lian.

Well, compared to a year ago, his face does have a more resolute look, and his figure looks more upright. The light armor that runs all over his body is shiny and really adds to his appearance. A bit of a mighty air.

Emperor Ning Kang felt a little more satisfied after seeing it.

The so-called "nurture, transfer, body, and transfer of Qi". Such slight changes in Jia Lian's body can finally prove that he has indeed received experience at the border.

First, he asked Jia Lian about the progress of the counterattack of several armies. After listening to Jia Lian's answers one by one, Emperor Ning Kang couldn't help but nodded.

This time, it targets Tatar and OaraAlthough only tens of thousands of troops were mobilized for the counterattack by other troops, because the march was in winter, the test for the soldiers was also severe, so Emperor Ningkang also always paid attention to the developments on the front line.

After hearing Jia Lian’s narration, he finally believed that everything went well in the border war. Emperor Ning Kang couldn’t help but breathed a sigh of relief, and he could live a good year in peace and contentment.

"I heard that Wang Ziteng later promoted you to command the first army, and you made a lot of contributions based on this?"

After talking about the overall situation, Ning Emperor Kang finally talked about Jia Lian's personal situation.

He has not forgotten that more than half a month ago, he said that he would review Jia Lian's military exploits for possible fraud.

Jia Lian could also feel some of Emperor Ning Kang's distrust of him, so he said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is indeed true, but the humble minister did not make any big contributions, just some trivial achievements. It is all due to the favor of the King of Worship and the sacrifice of the soldiers under his command.

As for the minor ministers, I can only say that they did not embarrass His Majesty too much."

Jia Lian The last sentence was to remind Emperor Ningkang that he was appointed by him to go into battle. Even if he performed meritorious service, it was because of Emperor Ningkang's wise eyes.

As long as Emperor Ning Kang heard this meaning, he would be embarrassed to doubt his merit anymore.

Emperor Ning Kang naturally heard it. Not only did he hear it, but it was also very real.

He snorted, "I went to the border and didn't learn other skills, but did I learn how to flatter a horse?"

He wasn't really angry, so he said immediately : "As for your merits, after the war is over, the Ministry of War will determine the rewards that belong to you based on the facts, and I will not miss you.

I only have one thing to ask you, After returning from the border this time, do you want to continue to go home and be your dandy young master, or do you want to take an official position and continue to serve the court?"

The emperor's multiple-choice question, the real option is usually There is only one of them.

So, Jia Lian immediately bowed down and said: "I have only one idea, continue to serve the court and be loyal to Your Majesty!"

Emperor Ning Kang paused and then called Jia Lian stood up and said: "After you go back, you must first fulfill your filial piety to your father, and then wait for the appointment from the court."

"Is it..., Wei Chen is resigning?"
