Seeing the oily black gate on the east side of Rongguo Mansion, Zhang Cheng lightly pulled the reins and slowed down his horse's speed.

was about to paste it on the stone, when he suddenly saw Zhou Rui greet him with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to the west and said, "Today, I will hold a banquet in Rongxi Hall, and I will rush forward." ”

Zhang Cheng didn't feel anything wrong, and according to Zhou Rui's instructions, he drove the carriage to the main courtyard of Rongguo Mansion.

But Sun Shaozong frowned in the carriage.

Because this Rongxi Hall is a plaque given by the emperor, and it is also the place where the old prince was entertaining, there is a faint symbolic meaning of tracing back to the branches.

At the beginning, Jia's mother favored her youngest son Jia Zheng, and insisted on letting him live in Rongxi Hall, which caused a lot of criticism - it was only because Jia Yu couldn't get on the stage, so it didn't cause a bigger backlash.

Now that Jia Zheng is not in the capital, Jia Lian wants to hold a banquet in Rongxi Hall instead......

Is it to seize power?

If this is the case, I must not mix, I must quickly find an excuse to get rid of this wine banquet.

It's just that after thinking about it, now that Jia Yuanchun is gaining power in the palace, Jia Lian really intends to compete for succession, and he shouldn't make trouble at this time.

"Steward Zhou."

Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong picked up the curtain and strolled and asked wholeheartedly: "Isn't the second master of the house already returning to Beijing?" ”

"I can't hide anything from you!"

Zhou Rui hurried a few steps to the car window, slanted his shoulders and said with a flattering smile: "Our second master only returned to Beijing this afternoon, no, as soon as I heard that you were coming over in the evening, I immediately ordered a banquet to be held in Rongxi Hall, saying that I wanted to hear about your going south to quell the rebellion." ”

Naturally, things are not as simple as Zhou Rui said, in fact, after Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang met, there was a cold war.

Except in front of Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang didn't take the initiative to say half a word to Jia Zheng, but when she talked to others, the cold words with guns and sticks also made Jia Zheng feel like pins and needles.

Because of this, as soon as he heard that Jia Lian was going to have a banquet for Sun Shaozong in the evening, Jia Zheng immediately came to take the lead - to put it bluntly, he just wanted to find a reason to hide and be quiet.

Without further ado.

Hearing that it was indeed Jia Zheng who came back, Sun Shaozong relieved himself and let Zhang Cheng drive the car to the corner gate of the main courtyard.

As soon as he lifted the curtain here, the two brothers Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu came out together.

Somehow, Sun Shaozong suddenly remembered the scene when he saw Jia Baoyu for the first time.

At that time, this second master Bao was crying bitterly for the death of his friend, and the fat powder on his face was washed down, as if he was shedding blood and tears, and his appearance was not a woman but a woman.

At that time, Jia Lian, although he was also a well-known gentleman, he could be called a jade tree in the wind in terms of appearance alone.

However, the current situation is completely reversed, and Jia Lian has been learning from Jiang Yuhan for more than a month, and his smile and every move have become more and more charming.

On the contrary, Jia Baoyu's face is much cleaner, which is very different from the appearance of the fat powder boy in the past.

Although this is mostly because Jia Zheng has just returned to Beijing, Sun Shaozong still can't help but sigh that things are wrong.

"Second Brother Lian."

"Erlang!"

"Second Brother Sun!"

After greeting each other in two times, Jia Lian turned sideways and said the word 'please', while leading Sun Shaozong inside, he smiled bitterly: "I wanted to have a good life with Erlang, but I never thought that my uncle heard that you were coming, so he took over the host." ”

Sun Shaozong laughed, and was about to joke with him, when he suddenly remembered something, and hesitated: "Second brother, in front of Uncle Shi, I'm afraid that thing is ...... I'm afraid it's hard to speak, right? ”

Jia Lian naturally understood that he was referring to the matter of letting Ping'er, so he covered his mouth and smiled, raised his eyebrows and said: "Erlang, put your heart back in your stomach, since you are here, my brother will never let you go home empty-handed." ”

Seeing the mysterious posture of the two, Jia Baoyu next to him couldn't help but be curious, asking what was going on, but it was not good to speak in front of his father?

Sun Shaozong hurriedly snorted and diverted the topic.

Although it is not uncommon for friends to give away beautiful concubines nowadays, it is not good to put it on the table after all.

The three of them talked and laughed all the way, and soon arrived at the left side of Rongxi Hall, and saw Jia Zhenghou outside the door from a distance, Sun Shaozong hurriedly hurried a few steps, pretending to be panicked and said: "How dare Uncle Lao Shi wait here?" Sins, sins! ”

Jia Zheng came up and helped him up, and subconsciously swept the center of his eyebrows first-probably also heard the legend of the Blood-Eyed Judge—and then said: "Virtuous nephews don't have to be polite, come and come, let's talk inside." ”

As he spoke, he personally took Sun Shaozong and entered the Rongxi Hall side by side.

The wide round table was already full of birds, animals and birds.

Jia Zheng pulled Sun Shaozong to occupy the two positions in the middle, and Jia Lian sat silently on the left side, but Jia Baoyu was there with a smiling face and did not dare to sit on his own.

Jia Zheng squinted at him for a moment, then snorted from his nose and said indifferently: "You can also sit down." ”

"Thank you, Master, for giving me a seat."

In fact, Jia Baoyu may not be willing to sit at the same table with him, but naturally he didn't dare to say anything else in front of him, so he sat down in a proper manner, and took the initiative to pick up the teapot and help everyone pour tea and water.

Sun Shaozong took the opportunity to praise and said: "In the past two years, Uncle Shi has not been at home, but Brother Bao has grown a lot. ”

"Hmph."

Jia Zheng snorted coldly at his son, then turned his head and said to Sun Shaozong with a pleasant face: "You always have to rely on Erlang's more help - I heard that Erlang's student almost got the head of the Qiu Yu case?" ”

"I'm ashamed."

Sun Shaozong hurriedly cleared up: "Where did I teach people with this little ink in my stomach?" It's just that he has a name, and there are actually other people who teach him. ”

Jia Baoyu on the side couldn't help but interject: "It's the gentleman that Second Brother Sun invited to Brother Lan!" ”

Hearing that it was Jia Lan's teacher, Jia Zheng asked a few more questions, and learned that Yu Qian is now in the middle of the household department, and he even reprimanded the shortcomings of 'there are two days in the sky, and the order is long' during the palace examination.

Jia Zheng was very satisfied, solemnly thanked his grandson, just put the wine cup back on the table, suddenly became serious again, and held his long beard silently for a long time, before asking: "I heard that Erlang is still supporting the prince now?" ”

It's a one-way street!

Don't say it's Sun Shaozong, Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu, the two brothers, didn't expect Jia Zheng to ask this directly.

At that moment, their eyes widened one by one, trying to dissuade them, but they didn't know how to do it.

Sun Shaozong's face suddenly became solemn.

According to his understanding of Jia Zheng, at least on the surface, this uncle is showing himself as a humble gentleman, and it stands to reason that he will never be so aggressive.

Is it because her daughter is expected to give birth to a 'prince', so her mentality is fluttering?

Or did he change his temper when he was a student politician in Jiangxi?

slandered in his heart, but since Jia Zheng asked such a straightforward question, Sun Shaozong naturally couldn't avoid answering.

After a little consideration, he said slowly: "The prince is the king, and there is nothing immoral recently, the little nephew is a minister, he dare not and cannot be lazy." ”

Syllable!

Jia Zheng slammed the table and said excitedly: "That's exactly the truth!" As courtiers, we should respect the king! When I entered Beijing this time, I repeatedly heard some nonsense on the road, which was really unbearable! ”

As he spoke, he solemnly turned his head to look at Jia Lian: "Lian'er, you will go to Tongfeng Girl to talk carefully, if anyone in our house dares to talk about the family affairs of the Son of Heaven, they will give me a stick and drive them out!" ”
