Chapter 2847: Ning Mansion Attends a Banquet and Teaches Jia Zhen a Lesson

The seventh prince looked at Jialan beside him and said softly.

"You will follow me from now on and don't get involved in the fights between the princes. We can just watch quietly. With Marquis Wu'an supporting you, they will not make things difficult for you!"

"I have also benefited from you, and my life will be easier in the future!"

The seventh prince showed a look of self-deprecation on his face. Although he was a nobleman of Tianhuang, he had no mother-in-law to protect him in the palace, and there was no strong maternal clan behind him. His life in the palace was very unsatisfactory. He was cautious and cautious. Now Jialan has become her The accompanying reading is equivalent to the support of Marquis Wu'an for him. As long as he does not compete for the throne, it can be said that he has nothing to worry about. He can just wait quietly for adulthood and be an idle prince, a wealthy and idle man.

"Thank you for your advice, Your Highness, I will remember it!"

Jialan nodded and replied softly. At this time, he also understood why Jia Chang asked him to be the companion of the seventh prince. It was not only because he had no hope of becoming a big king, but also because he was gentle and easy to get along with, and he was not as domineering as other princes.

In the afternoon, the sun had begun to set, Jia Lan walked out of the palace, and Li Hu drove the carriage back to Rongguo Mansion.

Li Wan looked at his son with a smile on his face. He had been worried all day long. Now that he had returned safely, he quickly held his son in his arms, looked at him carefully, and then asked.

"Lan'er, how are you today? Has anyone bullied you?"

His mother was worried when his son traveled thousands of miles. Although Jia Lan only left the house for a day, Li Wan was still uneasy, fearing that his son would be wronged.

Jia Lan shook his head slightly, looked at his mother with clear eyes, and said slowly.

"Don't worry, mother. Today, my uncle's father sent me to the study room. He first met with the gentlemen of the Hanlin Academy, and then introduced me to your highnesses. Everyone was in awe of my uncle and treated my son very well!"

Li Wan was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that Jia Chang would actually send Jia Lan to the study in person. She was grateful in her heart and whispered.

"Lan'er, you must remember your uncle's kindness and repay it well in the future!"

Li Wan thought of the life that he and his son had lived in the mansion over the years. The world was in a hot and cold world, and the human relations were warm and cold. However, this was so vividly reflected that even the slightly powerful servants in the mansion dared not to take their mother and son seriously. He had mixed feelings for a while, and he became more and more grateful to Jia. Chang.

"Well, what the mother said was that the son remembered it!"

Jialan struggled out of his mother's arms, thought for a moment, and finally said.

"Mother, there is one more thing that my son feels he needs to tell you!"

"What's the matter?"

Li Wanxing's eyes moved slightly and he looked at his son, with a hint of concern on his face.

"In order for my son to study, my uncle gave several gentlemen from the Hanlin Academy a gift of seals carved from several square meters of fine field yellow stone, worth ten thousand taels of silver!"

Jialan's slightly childish voice was like a thunder, which stunned Li Wan.

"Ten thousand taels of silver?!"

"How can we, mother and son, repay this kindness!"

Li Wanjiao's face showed surprise. She didn't expect that Jia Chang would pay so much to let Jia Lan stay in the study. She knew that ten thousand taels of silver was definitely not the biggest price Jia Chang had to pay. The real price was to ask for Yuan. Emperor Kangdi allowed Jia Lan to enter the upper study room to study, which paved the way for Jia Lan to take the imperial examination in the future.

As long as Jia Lan passes the joint examination and goes to the Jinluan Palace Examination in the future, Jia Lan can enter the forefront of the second class no matter how bad he is, because he has already left an impression on Emperor Yuankang. For Jia Chang's sake, he will never let him get a low grade. Ranking.

Let's talk about Aunt Xue's family living in Lixiang Courtyard of Rongguo Mansion. Xue Pan thought that the rules in Rongguo Mansion were strict and he had to be controlled by his uncle Jia Zheng, so he would not be used to it. However, Aunt Xue insisted on living here. Although he He is a dandy, but he is extremely filial and never disobeys his mother, so he has no choice but to agree.

However, after a month, Xue Pan found that he was very comfortable living in Rongguo Mansion. On the one hand, it was because Jia Zheng was naturally unrestrained and did not like worldly affairs, so he was too lazy to control Xue Pan. On the other hand, there are the young men of the Jia clan, most of whom are incompetent. They are just like Xue Pan. They drink today, admire flowers tomorrow, gamble and whore, and gradually do everything. Those who are close to vermillion are red, and those who are close to ink are black, which makes Xue Pan become more and more degenerate.

Unlike Xue Pan, Xue Baochai has a decent character, beautiful appearance, open-minded behavior, prudent and meticulous behavior. Unlike Lin Daiyu, who is aloof and self-centered, has no eyes for dust, and is very popular with others. Even the little maids like to joke with Baochai. , very popular in Rongguo Mansion.

Fortunately, now that Lin Daiyu and her daughter are reunited, they are much more tolerant and don't care. If it were before, she would have been secretly sulking and unhappy.

The plum blossoms were in full bloom in the central garden of Ning Mansion in the east. Jia Zhen and his wife Youshi held a banquet and invited men, women and children from Rongguo Mansion to come and enjoy the flowers. Naturally, Wu'an Marquis Mansion was also invited. Jia Chang had nothing to do, so he agreed and took them with him. Taking Xiao Ruyi along with everyone in Rongguo Mansion, they came to Ningguo Mansion.

You and Jia Rong's daughter-in-law Qin Keqing entertained all the female relatives of the Rongguo Mansion. The patriarch Jia Zhen and Jia Rong entertained all the men. Only Jia Baoyu, a prodigal, was mixed in among the female relatives. There was no etiquette at all. He was neither male nor female, which made people feel Surprised.

A group of people came to a room. The room was exquisite and gorgeously furnished. Jia Chang looked up and saw a painting posted on it. The character in the painting was Gu Hao. The story was "Burning Quinoa Picture". He didn't know who painted it. , there is another couplet. Insight into worldly matters is knowledge, and understanding of human feelings is all articles.

Jia Chang nodded secretly. Although Jia Zhen and his son were not in tune, the calligraphy and painting were still very tasteful. It should not be arranged by Jia Zhen, but by his Taoist father Jia Jing. This previous generation of the head of Rongguo Mansion was the only Jinshi in the Jia family. It was just because he was implicated in the matter of abolishing the crown prince that year that he had to enter the Taoist temple to practice, stay away from the mundane world, and seek immortality with all his heart.

Although Jia Chang was young, he was in a high position and had a title. When he sat down, he was second only to Jia Zheng, after all, he could not be higher than his father.

Jia Zhen looked at Jia Chang. He and Jia Chang had not met many times. They only met once when Jia Chang was conferred the title of marquis. Today was the first time they sat so close.

Jia Zhen looked at him carefully, and saw that the young man was arrogant, elegant and handsome, with clear eyes, black and white, and a sharp gaze. Just sitting there, he gave people a sense of awe without anger, which made Jia Rong tremble beside him.

"It's true that people can't be compared. We are both sons, but my son is a coward. I wish I could strangle him to death!"

Jia Zhen glared at Jia Rong, who looked frightened, and snorted coldly, saying angrily.

"You useless thing, don't you know how to call someone?"

Jia Rong shrank into a ball when he heard his father's scolding, and shuddered. He quickly stood up, bowed, and said to Jia Chang.

"Nephew greets little uncle!"

Jia Zhen and Jia Chang are of the same generation. Although Jia Rong is a few years older than Jia Chang, he has to call Jia Chang uncle.

Jia Chang nodded slightly. He had a bad impression of Jia Zhen and his son. His face was indifferent and he said softly.

"Get up!"

Jia Rong then stood up and sat down carefully. He kept looking at his father from the corner of his eyes, fearing that he would be scolded again.

Jia Zhen was angry when he saw Jia Rong's appearance, but he couldn't say much in front of Jia Zheng, Jia Chang and others, so he quickly changed the subject.

As they chatted, they didn't know how to talk about Jia Chang's deceased mother. Jia Zhen said to Jia Zheng with a solemn expression.

"Now that brother Chang is already the Marquis of Wu'an, we should also change our attitude towards his deceased mother. I think it's better to enshrine her token in the ancestral hall to show her merits!"

Jia Chang was ennobled and appointed a general because of his son's status. As Jia Chang's biological mother, her status naturally rose with the tide and she was qualified to enter the Jia family ancestral hall and enjoy the incense offerings from future generations.

Hearing this, the housekeeper was slightly stunned. He glanced at Jia Chang, who remained expressionless, thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. He nodded and said.

"You are right. I neglected it. Chang'er is now the Marquis of Wu'an. Her mother is naturally qualified to enter the Jia family ancestral hall!"

Jia Chang was a little surprised. He did not expect Jia Zhen to be so good at handling things. He took the initiative to bring up this matter and showed his goodwill to him, which saved him a lot of effort. He nodded slightly and said.

"Thank you, Brother Zhen. I will use tea instead of wine to toast you a glass!"

Jia Chang picked up the teacup on the table, raised his head and drank it all. He was very happy.

Jia Zhen was secretly happy. Sure enough, this move was right. He quickly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile.

"Brother Chang, why are you so polite? You are now the pillar of our Jia family. You are the Dinghai Needle. These are what you should do!"

Jia Chang nodded slightly. His biological mother's entry into the ancestral hall was indeed in accordance with the rules. It was not an exception. Every big family had such rules. Concubines and others could enter the ancestral hall and enjoy the incense by offering sacrifices to their sons.

Jia Chang and Jia Zhen exchanged greetings for a while. He was a little impatient and said something. He walked out of the room to get some fresh air. He happened to meet Jia Baoyu and a beautiful woman, followed by maids and old women.

The woman was born with a beautiful face, with a green bun, green eyebrows without drawing, and red lips without makeup. On her beautiful face, there was no flaw, her cheeks were white, and she was more beautiful than snow. She was delicate and gentle.

Jia Chang wanted to retreat, but it was too late. He bumped into her head-on. Jia Chang could only stand where he was and speak.

"Where are you going, Brother Bao?"

Jia Baoyu is a fool. He likes handsome men and women, but Jia Chang often perfunctorily uses the subtle words of saints to perfunctorily make him bored.

"I can't hold my liquor, I want to find a place to rest!"

Jia Chang nodded slightly, looked at the woman beside him, his expression was indifferent, his eyes were calm, he was not moved by the other's beautiful appearance, just spoke lightly.

"Are you Rong's daughter-in-law?!"

Jia Chang had already guessed the identity of this woman in his heart, and asked directly.

"Niece-in-law greets uncle!"

Qin Keqing bowed slightly and saluted. Her voice was charming, crisp and pleasant. No wonder Jia Zhen, the old pervert, coveted her.

"Where are you going to take Baoyu to rest!"

Jia Chang called Jia Baoyu by his name, as if he was the elder brother and Jia Baoyu was his younger brother.

Qin Keqing's face was covered with a faint smile, her eyes moved slightly, she looked at Jia Chang, secretly admired his good looks and good demeanor, and answered.

"I just arranged a room for Uncle Bao, but he thought it was too tacky, so I planned to take him to my room to rest!"

Jia Chang frowned, his face was slightly cold, his eyes were extremely majestic, and a strong sense of oppression enveloped Qin Keqing, and he shouted.

"Ridiculous, how can an uncle rest in his nephew's room!"

Qin Keqing chuckled at the words, with a bit of willfulness and sadness in her laughter, and said.

"So what, we are innocent and have no connection, why should we care about those rumors!"

Jia Chang heard the words, thinking, it seems that Qin Keqing was harassed by Jia Zhen, so she deliberately vented so willfully, he said.

"Brother Bao, please find a room to rest in. My nephew-in-law and I have something to say!"

Jia Baoyu was not angry, why? He opened his mouth and objected.

"No, I'm going to rest in Keqing's room!"

Hearing this, Jia Chang raised his sword eyebrows slightly and glared at Jia Baoyu with sharp eyes. The phoenix egg immediately softened and he whispered.

"I'm an elder brother, and you will bully me!"

After that, Jia Baoyu left with the maid and her mother-in-law, saying that he was not upright. He could not withstand Jia Chang's pressure and could only obey.

Jia Chang looked at Qin Keqing with gentle eyes and spoke slowly.

"Let's go to your room to talk!"

When Qin Keqing heard this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, showing a bit of disdain and contempt.

"Uncle cares about etiquette right now. How could any uncle go to my nephew's room?"

"lead the way!"

Jia Chang said coldly, completely ignoring Qin Keqing's temper, and was extremely majestic.

Qin Keqing glanced at Jia Chang, but took steps forward and took Jia Chang to her room.

Jia Chang came to Qin's room. As soon as he reached the door, a thin sweet fragrance hit him. Jia Chang's nose twitched slightly, and he looked around the room and saw a picture of "Begonia Sleeping in Spring" hanging on the wall. There was a couplet on both sides. The couplet said: The tender cold locks dreams because of the cold spring, and the fragrance envelops people like the fragrance of wine. On the table is the precious mirror that Wu Zetian had set up in the mirror room at that time. On one side is a golden plate with flying swallows standing and dancing. In the plate is a papaya that An Lushan threw and injured Taizhen's breast. On it is the couch where Princess Shouchang lies on His Royal Highness Hanzhang, and hanging is the Lianzhu tent made by Princess Tongchang.

Jia Chang looked calm, withdrew his gaze, looked at the unhappy Qin Keqing again, and said calmly.

“Nicely arranged!”

Qin Keqing was very embarrassed, her pretty face was slightly red, her chest was heaving, and she said angrily.

"Don't look at anything inappropriate. It seems that my uncle is not a gentleman!"

Jia Chang nodded slightly and said calmly with a very thick skin.

"I am a warrior, so naturally I am not a gentleman!"

Ignoring Qin Keqing's glare, Jia Chang sat down and looked at Qin Keqing. His eyes were bold and sharp, which made Qin Keqing a little at a loss. He secretly hated himself for being reckless. In a moment of anger, he actually brought Jia Chang into his room. If Jia Chang Her bestiality was unleashed, something unspeakable had happened, and she was afraid she would have no power to resist.

"what are you worried about?"

Jia Chang's voice came faintly, his sharp eyes moved away from Qin Keqing's body, his face was solemn, and he said again.

"But I'm worried that I'll be like Brother Zhen, coveting your beauty and trying to get rid of you!"

When Qin Keqing heard this, her delicate body trembled slightly, her starry eyes widened, she looked straight at Jia Chang, and exclaimed.

"How did uncle know about this?"

Since Qin Keqing married Jia Rong, she has noticed her father-in-law Jia Zhen's malicious coveting gaze. She usually hides and hides whenever she can, but recently Jia Zhen has become more aggressive, her words have become more and more outrageous, very shameful, and she has begun to push herself. She also I don't know how long I can hold on.

"The Jia clan is indeed extremely ridiculous. Most of them are incompetent. They are gambling, prostitution, and idle people everywhere!"

"But fortunately, there was no big trouble, and I can't say much, because this kind of thing happens in every family!"

"But anything against human ethics has never happened!"

Jia Chang's expression was slightly cold and inexplicably majestic. A terrifying momentum rose from his body. He stood up and moved, stopped in front of Qin Keqing, and said very seriously.

"Don't worry, I will solve this matter for you, and I will never allow Brother Zhen to do anything that is disgraceful to the family! But I also hope that I can keep my integrity and don't give up on myself, let myself fall, and bring a man into my room like today. What happened must never happen again, you understand!”

Qin Keqing was in a daze, looking at the handsome face so close, her pretty face blushed slightly, her heart was shocked, she was secretly ashamed, and regretted her willful behavior, she lowered her head slightly and said softly.

"Niece-in-law, remember, I was the one who acted recklessly today!"

"It's just this once, I won't let you go if you do it again!"

Jia Chang nodded slightly, stepped forward, and walked straight out of the room, leaving Qin Keqing with a complicated look, tears flowing out of his eyes, and crying with joy.

Jia Chang returned to Jia Zheng and sat down with a calm expression, as if nothing had happened. He just listened quietly to Jia Zheng's talk without saying a word.

At noon, Jia Chang and others began to prepare for the meal. Jia Chang quietly pulled Jia Zhen's sleeves and made a gesture. Jia Zhen nodded slightly to express his understanding.

Jia Chang sat at the table, his eyes deep and gloomy, staring at Jia Zhen who had just entered the room, and said sternly.

"Brother Zhen, do you want to die?!"

Jia Zhen was shocked when she heard this, and her expression changed drastically. She didn't know where Jia Chang's words came from. He originally thought that Jia Chang came to him to thank him for his proposal to enshrine his biological mother in the ancestral hall.

"Brother Chang, what do you say? I don't seem to have offended you!"

Jia Chang looked at the somewhat annoyed Jia Zhen, with a gloomy look on his face and said in a cold voice.

"I heard that Brother Zhen fell in love with his daughter-in-law Qin, and he forced her to do something against human ethics!"

When Jia Chang exposed the darkness in her heart, Jia Zhen was immediately angry. She no longer worried about Jia Chang's identity and said sternly.

"This is Ningguo Mansion, it's not your turn to interfere!"

Jia Chang sneered when he heard this, stood up, walked to the door, stopped, and just said something coldly.

"Brother Zhen, let me remind you that Qin is the daughter of the deposed prince and was adopted by Qin Ye, the maintenance man of the Ministry of Industry. Your Majesty arranged this matter. Otherwise, why do you think Qin Ye would adopt a girl! Then Qin is Daughter of the royal family, if you want to seek death, I won’t stop you, just don’t involve the Jia family and bury you with you!”

When Jia Zhen heard this, she broke out in cold sweat and wet all her clothes. Her body trembled, she turned around suddenly, grabbed Jia Chang's clothes, knelt down on the ground, and begged.

"Brother Chang, it's me who is confused. You must save me. I won't dare to do it anymore!"

Jia Chang slowly turned around and looked down at the embarrassed and frightened Jia Zhen. He raised his foot and kicked her to the ground, causing Jia Zhen to let out a wail.

"Shut up!"

Jia Chang's expression was extremely cold and as gloomy as water. He stared at Jia Zhen with his sharp and majestic eyes and said.

"You are so cowardly. Although Qin is the daughter of the deposed prince, she is just a woman. Your Majesty will naturally not embarrass her. He even feels a little guilty towards her. You actually dare to think about her. Do you want to die? , I can make it happen for you!”

Jia Zhen didn't dare to make a sound with her mouth. She was extremely frightened in her heart and shook her head repeatedly.
