"Uncle, it's not that our seniors are gossiping behind our backs, it's just that Xiangling always hears people say that this girl Lin is made of water. She sheds tears most of the day and loves to cry. Now her father is like this, but

I didn't see her crying when Tian'er saw her, so I wondered a few words."

Li Jing saw that Jia Qiang seemed unhappy and hurriedly explained.

After Jia Qiang thought about it for a while, she felt that it would be good for them to understand more about things, so that unnecessary misunderstandings could be reduced when they get along in the future, so she said softly: "You don't know the inside story, that's why you have this question. Aunt Lin's father is a loyal man."

The emperor is naturally fond of such ministers, and so are the common people of the country, but their families may not like them."

Before Xiang Ling could react, Li Jing raised her eyebrows and said, "This Master Lin must be busy with official duties all day long and neglecting his family."

Jia Qiang was actually just guessing, but at this moment she could only nod her head and tell her what he knew...

"Aunt Lin lost her mother when she was less than six years old. Her original intention was to stay with her father in Yangzhou, but her uncle really didn't have the energy to take care of her, so he sent her to the Chinese and foreign families in the capital to raise her. This gift has been

It’s been five or six years, as long as I can remember…”

Jia Qiang didn't finish her words, but her meaning was already clear.

Why did Xiang Ling not think about finding her parents, but instead felt a little scared?

After being separated for too long, one person has endured too much pain, and some feelings have faded away.

During these years in the Jia Mansion, Daiyu did not have any close relatives around to protect her, so she did not know how many tears she shed alone.

What kind of love can replace a father's love and a mother's love? What's more, she just lost her mother...

The most Lin Ruhai could do was send a letter to ask. They rarely met each other, and before Jia Min passed away, he was also busy with official duties. The relationship between father and daughter was not that deep, so how could he demand Daiyu to cry to death for him?

It is in the original work that after Jia Min passed away and Daiyu came to Jia's house, she couldn't hear anyone say that her mother was gone, and she often cried.

But after Lin Ruhai passed away, she came back from Suzhou and met the sisters for the first time, but she behaved very normally and distributed gifts...

Perhaps as Daiyu herself said, the closeness and distance between relatives are not always determined by blood relations, but also by feelings...

However, in this world, only a handful of people would agree with such a rebellious and unethical view.

Fortunately, Li Jing is an unusual boudoir girl, and understands this deviant mentality. She is deeply disgusted with the world's etiquette and filial piety that suppresses the younger generation by relying on the title of an elder, and even dictates the life and death of the younger generation.

If not, she would not have taken the opportunity to uproot the deputy gang leader's lineage and kill him until the blood in the courtyard of the Jinsha Clan remained alive for three days.

Of course, even so, she could not say such shocking words as "Father's kindness is nothing more than this".

Just keep everything in mind.

"Second Master, has Zijuan come back? I want to go and play with her."

Xiangling didn't understand this, so after knowing that Zicuckoo was back, she wanted to play tricks upstairs.

Jia Qiang smiled and nodded, and Xiang Ling left happily.

For Xiang Ling, the days she was living now were almost something she had only dreamed of in her dreams.

There is no beating or scolding from the kidnappers, and there is no need to worry about wrongdoing.

Even in the Xue family, Aunt Xue is a very strict housekeeper.

The aunts and older maids at home would often make fun of her.

As for Xue Pan, who often coveted her, wanted her badly and loved to curse, this was the source of fear in her heart.

But now, all of these are gone.

The family is small, and there are no elders to restrain her. There are no slaves who bully her based on seniority, and there are no vicious bullies to beat her...

In addition to taking good care of Jia Qiang, she can do whatever she wants, be as naughty as she wants, and be as happy as a god!

After Xiangling left happily, Jia Qiang took out the old ginseng gifted by Daiyu from her pocket, handed it to Li Jing and said: "This is the old ginseng that Aunt Lin got from Mrs. Zhen's wife. It's not as good as the old ginseng she got in her hand."

Just an errand. You can take it and give it to your father-in-law..."

When Li Jing heard this, she was greatly moved and said: "You can't buy this kind of ginseng for a thousand gold, and you can't even buy it with silver! You gave it to me?!"

Jia Qiang nodded and said: "Yes, so the day before yesterday you went to ask for ginseng and didn't get it. It's not because Aunt Lin is stingy, but because she really can't give it anymore. Today I got a new ginseng, and the whole plant was given to you. She also said that you can

Don’t be angry.”

Li Jing's face changed and she said anxiously: "How can I be angry? Qian'er had the nerve to ask for it, but I wasn't allowed to speak. It was me who was greedy. I saw that my father was much better after using ginseng soup, so I thought

Maybe it will be better if you take more of it... If this also causes resentment, wouldn't it be worse than an animal?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, just say it like that."

But Li Jing said seriously: "No, I have to kowtow to Miss Lin."

Jia Qiang raised her eyebrows and said, "There's no need for that, right? Aunt Lin doesn't like people kowtowing to her, as long as in the future..."

Li Jing refused to listen and shook her head and said: "This ginseng can renew my father's life and save his life. When Miss Lin is in trouble in the future, she will be thrown into a sea of ​​swords and fire without hesitation. But now I can't repay you. If I don't even have my head,

How can I make a point about knocking someone?"

Jia Qiang had no choice but to say, "You can go if you want. Just go and come back quickly, otherwise Aunt Lin will be embarrassed by the trouble. After I come back, I still have business to discuss."

…

Not long after, Li Jing turned back.

Seeing that her expression was a little subtle, Jia Qiang couldn't help laughing and said, "How?"

Li Jing rolled her eyes at him angrily. She didn't expect that Daiyu would really do what Jia Qiang said and bowed to her, causing her to go back in embarrassment.

She didn't want to mention it further, so she asked Jia Qiang, "I just said that we have something serious to discuss?"

Jia Qiang said: "I have already sent two of your men to hurry up and go to Yangzhou Tianning Temple. We have done everything we should and can do. If there is no accident, my father-in-law should be able to save his life. It will take two days at most.

, we can arrive in Yangzhou. After arriving, we have many big things to do. But before we do anything, the first thing we need is to have eyes and ears. When we are new to Jiangnan, if we do it recklessly, we will inevitably break our heads.

Blood flows. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight without danger."

Hearing this, Li Jing nodded repeatedly, but then frowned and said, "How do you give birth to eyes and ears?"

Jia Qiang smiled, but then suppressed her smile and said seriously: "I don't know if what I said is right or not. If there is anything wrong, just correct it. Xiaojing, in my opinion, your so-called Jianghu people are just...

People who are trying to make ends meet in this world. You are unwilling to farm, and you cannot study, and it is difficult to make a living by doing business, so you can only stick your head in your trousers and make ends meet, which is euphemistically called wandering.

The gangs in Jianghu and Beijing are like this, and the gangs in Jiangnan are also like this."

Although Li Jing felt a little embarrassed by Jia Qiang's words, she still nodded and said solemnly: "You are right. Take off the fig leaf and that's it. It's really just a casual meal."

Jia Qiang nodded slightly when he heard the words and said: "In that case, it's easy to handle. With Xiaojing's political skills, coupled with a lot of money and power, you should be able to gather a group of people in a short time.

.”

When Li Jing heard this, she worried: "I am afraid that the people gathered in this way will not be very loyal and will not be of great use."

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "The rabble has no loyalty at all. But in the process of employing people, we can gradually find the people who can be used. Then with the perfect family laws and regulations, we can gradually turn the rabble into the elite...No

If you are in a hurry, there is no big deal at the moment. But you must be clear about this approach."

Hearing this, Li Jing smiled and said, "You want me to take charge of these things?"

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "Except for the person next to me, who can I trust in this matter?"

When Li Jing heard this, a smile suddenly bloomed on her face, but she said with some regret: "It would be great if dad could get better. He has been a bodyguard all his life. He has met many powerful people from all over the world, although some of them are just face-to-face."

Many of them are life-and-death friends who care about each other sincerely. If he wakes up, he will be able to do twice the result with half the effort!"

…

West of Shenjing City, Zhaojiazhuang.

Zhao Donglin sat on the main seat on the west side with a gloomy expression and said nothing.

Zhao Bohong also had a gloomy face and said: "Second uncle, my father said that he will go to Prince Zhongshun's palace to deal with it. But the recipe must be taken back. If we can dye good silk material afterwards, everything will be easy."

This time it was just an accident and could not hurt the bones. But if the real prescription is not obtained this time, then the Zhao family will become a joke and it will hurt the foundation! The Hengsheng Wang family will never let go of the opportunity.

"

When Zhao Donglin heard this, his face became more sinister, and the hatred in his heart grew stronger. He nodded and said slowly word by word: "Tell the eldest master that I will send someone to Yangzhou quickly with the banknotes to exchange for the real prescription."

.All the losses this time will be borne by the second room.”

In order to save 20,000 taels, he spent 40,000 to 50,000 taels this time. Zhao Donglin's face was ashen.

This was what Zhao Bohong was waiting for. After receiving the correct message, he stood up and said goodbye.

From beginning to end, I didn't even look at my cousin Zhao Bo'an, who I had previously praised as my favorite.

Perhaps in his opinion, he couldn't even tell whether Zhang Fangzi was genuine or not. Zhao Boan had a reputation as a genius in weaving and dyeing and was not worthy of his attention. However, Zhao Bohong had just left, and Zhao Boan, who had always been slow to speak, stood up on his own initiative.

, said: "Dad, brother, I'm going to Yangzhou to learn dyeing cloth!"

Zhao Donglin: "..."

Exhausted.
