In March of Yangchun, everything is in full bloom, and miscellaneous trees are blooming.Jia Huan was now the Minister of Science and Technology of the Federation.When I returned to the office after the meeting that day, the secretary sent a post.Jia Huan saw that it was Fan Cheng, an old friend whom he hadn't seen for many years.I can't help but feel a little bit embarrassed: when they first met, they hadn't caught up with their daughter-in-law, and now their children are not young.Come in please.

Not long after, Fan Cheng approached Jia Huan's office, followed by a person: Jia Huan's brother-in-law, King Lu.Jia Huan was stunned for three seconds, smiled and waved to the secretary, "Go and call Jia Cong."

The secretary hesitated and said: "Minister, the prince said yesterday that the World Girls' School has a sports meeting today, and he is going to participate in the parent-child run."

"I don't care about him." Jia Huan thought for a while and said, "Forget it, prepare the car, I'm going out."

"Where is the minister going?"

"Watch my niece run."

"The world daughter is participating in the high jump and long jump."

"Whatever." Jia Huan waved the secretary away.Nai turned around and said to the two guests, "As the saying goes, you are not as troublesome as others. Brother Fan, Xiao Liu, have you seen Jian'an?"

Fan Cheng said: "I haven't asked to see the princess yet."

Jia Huan nodded: "Let's go, let's talk in another place." He patted King Lu on the shoulder.

The three walked out of the office building, and a new car was parked at the door.Fan Cheng couldn't help praising: "It's so beautiful!" King Lu also opened his eyes wide.

Jia Huan laughed and said, "Men are born to love cars." Then they got into the car together.

All the way to Yanjing Municipal No. [-] Primary School, Jia Huan led the two of them straight to the stadium.It happened that the students were running in a race, and there were cheers everywhere.The three stood by the track, and Jia Huan pointed out, "Here, the one who runs fourth is Lin Qu, the eldest son of Jarvis."

Fan Cheng hurriedly asked, "But the one in blue?"

"No, wear orange." While speaking, Lin Qu had rushed to the second place, and the finish line was approaching.The sound of cheering suddenly became louder.Although Lin Qu sprinted hard, he was still two steps behind No.1.Jia Huan nodded and said, "This kid's physical strength is distributed well, and he was able to overtake two people in the end."

"Whose son is the first one?"

"I don't know. The students in the next class. I asked just now. The high jump and long jump haven't started yet, and the parent-child run is even later. According to Cong'er's temperament, he probably hides somewhere to be lazy." Jia Huan rubbed his chin, "Compared Comfortable place."

King Lu asked, "Are your nephew and niece at this school?"

"No, the two of them are in Experimental Primary School." Jia Huan said, "It's not a problem for the whole family to be in the same school! It's not easy for a child to have a private space." He looked around and clapped his hands while talking, " I found Brother Cong. Come with me." Then he led King Lu Fan Cheng to a stall beside the runway.

There is an old couple selling tea and snacks here, holding a few big colorful parasols.There are some tables and benches under the umbrella, and Jia Cong is slowly eating melon seeds.Looking up and seeing Jia Huan and the others coming, he waved for a moment in a daze, "Ma'am, let me have another plate of melon seeds and a pot of tea. What do you want?"

Jia Huan opened a stool at random and sat down, "A plate of walnut cake and a plate of pine nuts. What else do you add?"

King Lu was inexplicably uncomfortable, and said, "No need." Then he sat opposite Jia Cong.Fan Cheng also sat down.

Jia Cong smiled and cupped his hands to Fan Cheng and said, "Brother Fan, long time no see." Fan Cheng sighed and was speechless.

The aunt selling snacks brought the food, and the two brothers of the Jia family shouted "thank you" in unison.Jia Huan said: "I think they probably wanted to talk to you about something serious, so they came here. I just saw Qu'er running, No. 400 in the 2 meters."

"800 meters. Not bad, kid." Jia Cong peeled a pine nut and threw it into the mouth, looked at King Lu with his chin for a long time, and said with emotion: "You are so old. Life is really like a dream."

King Lu sat in a daze for half a day, and said with a wry smile: "Life is like a dream. Back then, I would never have dreamed that it would become what it is today." He shook his head and said, "Lu Kingdom has been prosperous for so many years, and it only takes a moment for it to decline."

It was only then that Jia Cong remembered that the business of the Lu Country had already been taken over by Shanghai, and said, "Speaking of which, you probably don't know that Zeng Wu, the mayor of Shanghai, is your eldest cousin."

King Lu was shocked, and shouted: "It's her?!" Jia Cong nodded.King Lu still didn't believe it. "Impossible. Why is it her!"

Fan Cheng was also shocked: "Prince Jia, did you make a mistake?" He looked at King Lu in dismay.

Jia Cong said to Jia Huan in a low voice: "Why do they both look like their three views have collapsed, it's not like that."

Jia Huan pursed her lips: "It's true that the three views have collapsed. My daughter-in-law went to her natal family to visit relatives last year, and I heard that my brother-in-law envied you for being lucky and always meeting geniuses."

Jia Cong shrugged, seeing that the two of them were slowing down, he said seriously: "I heard that you have used women to do things in recent years. But I don't think you can use women for my sake. Zeng Wu In the country of Lu, she is just the wife of a small military officer, and she is subjected to domestic violence by her husband every day."

King Lu still shook his head and said, "Big cousin... I really can't believe it's her."

"But the truth is her." Jia Cong said, "Naturally, it's not entirely because of her own ability, she has a lot of luck. When she picked someone to pretend to be Wei Ruoheng's concubine, there are several other people in addition to her overall strength. External hard indicators: beautiful, single, having sons, preferably one son and one daughter. She happened to be in line. And the location of Shanghai Port... Well, it can be regarded as a small plug-in of history. Like Hong Kong, whoever develops first wins Advantages. If you are someone else or your other cousins, you can also achieve today's achievements."

King Lu thought for a long time: "From this point of view, Wei Ruoheng was with you at that time."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Much earlier than that."

"How did you subdue Wei Ruoheng?"

"I didn't subdue him, I just made friends." Jia Cong said, "Wang Ziteng and I saved his wife one after another. Wei Ruoheng is a man who loves his wife as much as his life."

Lu Wang was dejected: "Prince Jia has such luck."

"At this time, it is not appropriate to blame me for being lucky enough to win the world." Jia Cong said seriously, "In addition to your eldest cousin, the Federal Minister of Commerce, Lu Sangu, was also reused by King Yan Situ Pan as a female shopkeeper. .There are also people from poor backgrounds. According to the background of my third brother-in-law, it would be difficult to achieve the current position in Lu Kingdom. In fact, whether it is you, Situ Pan, or the king of Shu or even the king of Wu Make good use of talents. But none of you are completely free from the constraints of gender identity and let talents play freely. Because you all have a fixed and hard-to-change point of view: inferior people are inferior people, women are women, and ministers are ministers. Inferior people cannot surpass high-class people, women cannot surpass men, and ministers cannot surpass kings." He spread his hands and said, "Among a group of geniuses such as Lin Daiyu and Zhan Kun, I am just an ordinary person."

The students beside the runway shouted to cheer up again.Jia Huan looked around and said, "Isn't Miao Miao still comparable?"

"Nope." Jia Cong pointed to the track, "You guys also watched Qu'er's race just now. If you were young, King Lu, would the children of ordinary people dare to run faster than the eldest son of the general and the prime minister?"

After a long while, King Lu sighed slightly: "How dare you dare, you can't even see him, so why race?"

"That's it." Jia Cong said, "But in other respects, that child is probably not as good as Qu'er. For example, Qu'er was taught by his grandfather since he was a child, and he won first place in calligraphy competitions every year."

Lu Wang looked at the runway: "Where is the daughter of the world?"

Jia Cong proudly said: "Our family Miao Miao is good at high jump and long jump! Last year, he won No.6 in the Yanjing Primary School Go Competition."

"sixth?"

"It's already amazing that she got No.6 in a fourth grade."

Jia Huan coughed twice: "No.1 is only in the third grade."

"That kid can become a professional chess player in the future. Miao Miao doesn't need to compete with professionals."

Lu Wang said: "Aren't you afraid that someone else is too capable and usurped her in the future?"

"No. My daughter is good enough." Jia Cong said, "Her father is better than others in employing people, and she has already learned this."

After a while, King Lu nodded. "How long do you plan to stay in the Western Chu League?"

Jia Cong looked at him and said: "Let's tell you the truth. We are preparing to discuss this matter with your sister. Except for Lu, all other countries will be closed this year. If your sister wants to keep Lu to be independent It’s okay, but the economy of the Lu Kingdom will definitely be impacted. How did the people migrate in back then, and how will they migrate out in the future.”

King Lu smiled wryly and said, "That's no different from waiting to die."

Jia Cong spread his hands and said, "Maybe you can reform like us. I believe that there must be more than one Zeng Wu in Lu Kingdom. Look at Shu Kingdom, the world's daughter Situ Yan presided over the reform, and we left the royal family alone."

Jia Huan said: "Farewell. If the military doesn't resort to tricks, Fifth Uncle Feng and the others will definitely not sit idly by."

Lu Wang sat there in a daze for a while and sighed: "Gu Wang sent Zhong's uncle and nephew to North America, and he never returned."

Jia Cong said: "You can't blame them. If the prince has time to go to North America, he will know that the place is too big and spacious, and the secular constraints will dissipate without knowing it. Besides, they also gave you a lot. Gold back?"

The King of Lu snorted, "You think they gave a lot? It's just worth the money I sent for the soldiers and military equipment."

"Not bad. At least it didn't hurt you."

King Lu ate his tea with his mouth shut.After a while, Fan Cheng suddenly asked without thinking: "Prince Jia, do you know that the Western Chu League has a set of secret messages?"

"I know." Jia Cong said casually, "It's so troublesome. It wasn't until the twelfth lunar month of the old year that I just deciphered it."

Fan Cheng's face was a bit stiff, he looked at the teapot and said, "I don't know how to decipher it."

Jia Cong said: "Miao Miao led a group of children to decipher it. Prince Lu, your nephew is also among them."

King Lu was startled: "Nephew of the lonely king?"

"Yeah." Jia Cong pointed to the runway, "The kid in the orange tracksuit who was tying his shoes also participated."

King Lu looked back and saw that the eldest son of Jarvis had already tied his shoelaces and stood up, jumping a few times on the track.He frowned and said: "The ancients said that the son of a thousand gold can't sit down. What should I do if Mr. Lin makes a mistake?"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Don't worry, the security work at Yanjing Primary School is much better than you can imagine. My wife is a female guard in the palace, and she is the most professional." Fan Cheng's expression changed suddenly.The Jia brothers looked at each other.

After a long time, the King of Lu sighed and said: "I think back then, the lonely king and all the king uncles used the three Mr. Jia as talents to win them over."

As soon as the whistle sounded, the sound of cheering suddenly sounded.Lin Qu and a group of children ran away like deer.Jia Cong said leisurely: "After 20 years, all the people on and off the runway will be talents. Although talents are not easy to come by, they are not so rare."

Lin Qu ran first this time.Jia Huan said, "Qu'er is much ahead of No.2."

"This is the group stage, No.1 has qualified." Jia Cong raised his hand and looked at his watch, "My Miao Miao's high jump preliminaries will start soon."

"Did you go to see it?"

"What are you watching in the preliminaries? We'll see you in the finals."

Seeing that both brother Fan and brother-in-law were a bit sleepy, Jia Huan asked him if they both wanted to go to Jian'an Polytechnic to see Princess Jian'an after eating the snacks in front of him.Fan Cheng hurriedly said: "Since the princess has not yet left the court, it is good for me and the prince to go back to your house and meet."

Jia Huan said: "Then where is your luggage? Take it back to our house first?"

Fan Cheng looked at King Lu, hesitantly said: "My lord said... I want to see the life of the people in the capital. Let's stay temporarily..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Wang said: "Since we are in the capital, it is better to stay at my sister's house."

Jia Huan nodded and said, "That's good. How about I go back and tidy up the yard first?"

"well."

Jia Huan then led the two of them away.

Jia Cong looked at the backs of the three and murmured, "Brother Fan really hasn't changed, he's still an honest man."

After leaving Yanjing No. [-] school, Fan Cheng insisted on not taking Jia Huan's car to pick him up, but going back to the inn by himself.It happened that there was a soliciting carriage dropping off passengers at the school gate.The guest took out an object and handed it to the guard, saying, "I am the father of Li Xiong, a student from Class [-], Grade [-], and I am here to participate in the parent-child race." The guard let him in.Seeing that the carriage was free, Fan Cheng hurried forward and hired it.Seeing this, Jia Huan had no choice but to give up.The carriage pulled Lu Wang Fan Cheng and ran away with a grunt.

The carriage ran to a tiny house in the west of the capital and stopped.Fan Cheng and the King of Lu got out of the car and entered the room. The two sitting in the court were the King of Chu and Meng Changfu.Seeing the two of them coming back, they both stood up to meet them.Meng Changfu cupped his hands and asked, "Your Highness, Master Fan, how are you doing?"

Fan Cheng let out a long sigh: "I thought that the schools in the country of Lu were already very good. I just found out today that they are not even as good as other elementary schools. Mr. Meng, your secret language was deciphered by the world daughter and a group of children."

The King of Chu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and said, "Go inside and talk."

Then everyone entered the room, and Fan Cheng recounted in detail how he had just met Jia Huan and Jia Cong.

The King of Chu frowned and said, "That's right, Chen Ruijin originally came from the female guards of the palace, and he is better than others. Lord Meng, this matter may not be possible. According to King Gu, it's better to let it go."

Meng Changfu also frowned and said, "They actually gave the enemy's secret language to the children for fun."

Fan Cheng looked at the King of Chu and then at Meng Changfu, and said, "It can be seen that they do not regard the Western Chu League as an important opponent. The two princes, Mr. Meng. The general situation is over."

Meng Changfu gritted his teeth and said, "Could it be possible to let them be so lawless and free?"

The king of Chu said: "Anyway, the lonely king thinks that you can't take risks."

King Lu hadn't said a word since he entered the door, but now he opened his mouth: "The lonely king also thinks it's impossible."

Meng Changfu sighed and said: "Forget it, since the two princes are unwilling, how can I insist on going my own way?" Nai shook his head, "My minister...go for a walk outside." Then he got up and went out.
