Chapter 139
Du Jia was tired for a day, and then he fought for the middle of the night, and his energy and physical strength were exhausted, so he slept until the sun was noon.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw that Chai Liya had already arranged breakfast, golden rice porridge, a plate of dried radish, a plate of sour cucumber, a plate of cut peeled eggs, and a plate of white steamed buns.
Du Jia felt his stomach gushing, and immediately sat down and started to eat and drink. Although these were all vegetarian, he was used to eating wine and meat on weekdays and felt very comfortable eating this steamed bun porridge and pickled vegetables, and he became full at once.
At this time, Du Jia stretched and felt that his energy and spirit had returned to its peak state. Even if he faced any difficulties, he had the confidence to overcome them.
As Du Jia shouted, the minions serving outside the door hurried in and surrounded Du Jia and his wife to the parcel hall.
At this time, all the leaders were already here and were chatting and laughing. Song Jiang immediately stood up when he saw Du Jia, and said while laughing: "Young Master Jia came so early. It seems that he was quite busy with his younger brother and sister last night. Hahaha, we have been waiting for you for a long time. You have to punish yourself for three cups."
Du Jia couldn't help but admire this guy's thick-skinned face. Yesterday he summoned his subordinates to discuss how to deal with him in the middle of the night, but when he saw him today, he looked like he was fine.
He also smiled and said, "Brother Song is more energetic. He worked so hard last night and got up early today. It was my younger brother's fault. I just accept the punishment. Come on, bring the wine."
A small minion respectfully presented a pot of good wine. After Du Jia filled it, he drank three cups in a row. Everyone below applauded.
A look of surprise flashed in Song Jiang's eyes. He thought Du Jia would resist. After all, last night, the spy reported that Lin Chong and others had gone to his house and stayed until very late before leaving. They must have been discussing countermeasures. But he was so obedient as soon as he came up and punished himself. Could it be that he planned to surrender to himself?
Never! Thinking of the resoluteness and indifference in his eyes when he looked at Du Jia yesterday, Song Jiang immediately rejected this idea.
In fact, Du Jia is not as complicated as Song Jiang thought. After all, he is not as cunning and calculating as Song Jiang, and he doesn't like to be calculating in everything. As long as the core interests are preserved, there is no need to care about the gains and losses of a city and a place.
He thought it was normal to have a few drinks late, but he didn't expect that Song Jiang would think too much, thinking that he had any plans.
Seeing that Du Jia is so generous, even many people who were originally loyal to Song Jiang were satisfied. They felt that he was not as sour and pretentious as those scholars, which was something Du Jia did not expect.
After drinking the three cups, the originally tense atmosphere on the court eased a lot, and everyone sat down one after another, and the wine and food were served at a price.
Today, since they were cleaning Du Jia, the couple sat in the main seat, Chao Gai and Song Jiang accompanied each other, and the other leaders sat on both sides.
I suddenly saw a man standing up from below and bowing to Du Jia slightly: "Mr. Du, I heard that you are also a scholar. Xiao Rang is not talented, and he is also very knowledgeable about writing. He especially likes writing. Can you talk to Mr. Jia?"
Du Jia smiled slightly, and was about to agree, but suddenly he saw that Song Jiang's subordinates were sneering slightly, and his heart suddenly moved. Could it be that there was any conspiracy here?
So Du Jia immediately forced back the words that he was about to blurt out and changed his words: "Who doesn't know that the holy scholar Xiao Rang Daming, when the handwriting of the four famous masters can be imitated vividly today, I'm willing to give it a chance."
A flash of disappointment flashed across Xiao Rang's face. It turned out that Song Jiang's arrangement was to ask him to come to Du Jia to compete for literary talent and calligraphy, and then he took the opportunity to remind all leaders of Du Jia as a literati, and then he could naturally arrange Du Jia to preside over the literary and artistic affairs of the village, so as to stay away from the core circle. However, Du Jia refused his request.
Xiao Rang didn't give up and said again: "Your Madam Jia, you are so young, you passed the scholar exam and your talent must be extraordinary. Let me wait for your experience."
Many people followed him and Du Jia became more convinced. There must be monsters when something goes wrong. If there is no conspiracy, there will be ghosts. Although I don’t know what Song Jiang’s purpose is to ask Xiao Rang to come out, it is definitely not wrong as long as it does not follow the enemy’s intentions.
He glanced at Xiao Rang, paused for a moment before saying calmly: "Brother Xiao, in fact, if you want to talk about Wencai, you should look for Brother Song. He has been a guard for many years and has written countless documents. He is naturally profound in his skills. You will not forget it, or do you not take Brother Song seriously, huh?"
Xiao Rang was shocked and dared not say anything again. Song Jiang hurriedly smiled and said, "Young Master Jia has praised Xiao Ke. I am already in my sixties, but I am still just a minor official. I cannot be compared with you two. Don't make fun of Xiao Ke anymore."
Xiao Rang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Song Jiang's words and quietly retreated aside. In fact, he actually helped people write letters to live a life. Although he was not rich, he still could live. This time he went up the mountain and was completely "earned" by Wu Yongyong, so he had to join the group. In fact, he was only respectful to Song Jiang and Wu Yong at most, and the rest was more afraid.
When Song Jiang saw that he failed to make a plan, he immediately lost his eyes. He saw another person standing next to Xiao Rang, with thin eyebrows and long eyes, and a white face. He said politely: "You two leaders and young masters, because there are more and more people in the parody recently, our logistics management department is a little too busy. Can we allocate some more people, especially those who are good at management come?"
Song Jiang pointed to the visitor and introduced to Du Jia enthusiastically: "This person who is named Jiang Jing can accumulate thousands of dollars and is not bad at all, and is known as the God of Purchase. He was also a descendant of the imperial examination. Because he failed the imperial examination, he abandoned his civil servants and followed the military, and he could also use guns and sticks to arrange troops. So he and Ou Peng and others fell in Huangmen Mountain.
I was also very wise and was willing to act on the way for me, Liangshan, and I joined the group. Now I am in charge of the assessment of the money and grain of the copycat, without any mistakes. I can be said to have worked hard and made great contributions, haha."
Du Jia knew about Jiang Jing's situation. He, as well as the saint scholar Xiao Rang and the jade arm craftsman Jin Dajian, can be said to be very professional.
Although they are both literary and martial, they are actually nice to say, but when they fight, they are similar to ordinary little leaders. Since they go up the mountain, they have only done their own professional things and almost never go to the battlefield to kill enemies.
These people were actually not determined to go up the mountain, but it was just various coincidences. The "revolutionary firmness" was quite ordinary. For example, after Xiao Rangzhao'an, he joined the four treacherous ministers, and Cai Jing, the enemy of Liangshan, and Jin Dajian also obeyed the orders in front of the emperor. Speaking of which, Jiang Jing was already the most loyal. He had been following the cross-city to fight Fang La, but in the end he abandoned his official position. In other words, he was unwilling to hang out with Song Jiang and the others.
