At the end of the twelfth year of Yongzhi, the Jia family was scheduled to worship their ancestors on the evening of the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month. On the morning of the 28th www.biquge.info Jia Rong and Jia Lian took Jia Qiang, Jia Yun, Jia Qiong, Jia Chen, and Jia Lan to Wangyue Residence to invite Jia Huan to Ningguo Mansion to preside over the affairs of ancestor worship.

The ancestral hall of the Jia family is located in the east of Ningguo Mansion. In previous years, the ancestor worship of the Jia family was handled by the patriarch Jia Zhen. Now it is handled by the patriarchs Jia Rong and Jia Lian.

Jia Huan sent someone to call the student Jiang Xingsheng early in the morning and chatted in the study about the accounts and profits of the blue cream business in the capital.

The business of blue snow ointment, Jia Rong is in charge of the capital, and sells it to the mansion of the powerful. Xin Fung Kee's store in Four Seasons Square was originally a pawnshop, but now it has been converted into an ice cream sale. Sales outside the capital are under the responsibility of Lin Zhiyun. Jia Rong and Lin Zhiyun's accounts have long been handed over, and Jia Huan has not asked since he came back. I only have time to sort out his income today.

After receiving Jiang Xing's advice, Jia Huan came out of the study and met Jia Rong, Jia Lian and others in the main hall.

At about 9 o'clock in the morning, it was a little cold in the exquisite main hall. The little maid served the tea and withdrew.

Listening to Jia Rong's explanation, Jia Huan smiled, "Brother Rong, you and Second Brother Lian are responsible for the matter of worshipping ancestors, what do you want me to preside?" ”

Jia Rong was in her twenties, wearing a brocade gown, a brown hat, handsome, and said with a smile: "Uncle Huan, my nephew has long ordered someone to open the ancestral hall, clean it up, pack up the offerings, invite the god, and clean the room to prepare for the hanging of the true image of the confession." Uncle Huan is not in the house, since he is in the house, in the evening, Uncle Huan will go to the town to worship the ancestors, so we can feel at ease. ”

This sycophant!

Jia Huan understood that there was actually nothing to deal with, that is, Jia Rong and Jia Lian asked him to go to Ningguo Mansion to sit in the name of the commander-in-chief. Thinking about it, he didn't refute Jia Rong and Jia Lian's face. After a few words of explanation, he followed the children of the Jia family to Ningguo Mansion on foot.

Jia Rong and Jia Lian are both Chinese. However, in addition to Jia Yu and Jia Zhengneng of the Jia family, they are the only ones who come forward to deal with Beppu on behalf of the Jia family. Jia Huan wants to dominate Jiafu, and it is impossible to "replace" all the people.

In addition, Jia Rong and Jia Lian both listened to his orders, but Jia Huan didn't mind taking them to "play".

Going out from the main entrance of Mochizuki-ju, not far from the next door is a back door of Rika-in. The high wall opposite the north street of Rongguofu is the Ruyang Hou Mansion, and there is a side door facing it. Several servants came in and out.

Jia Rong looked at the Ruyang Hou Mansion and said with a contemptuous smile: "The Ruyang Hou Mansion often opposes our Jia family, but it is only involved in the affairs of Zheng Guifei and Zhao Guiren, and the momentum is not as good as before. Now that the concubine is in the palace, let's see how he goes against our family! ”

Jia Qiang and the others laughed.

When Jia Huan, Jia Rong, Jia Lian, and Jia Qiang were laughing and heading east, they happened to meet Xue Pan, who had returned from a night stay in the Qinglou, and got off a beautiful carriage. The yellow horse snorted in the morning sun and exhaled white air.

Xue Pan supported the handsome little guy beside him, shaking his head, and when he saw Jia Huan, his eyes narrowed, and he snorted coldly, which clearly reached Jia Huan's ears. looked at Jia Rong and Jia Qiang again, and skipped it unhappily. When he first came to the capital in the eighth year of Yongzhi, he had eaten and drank with Jia Rong and Jia Qiang, and they got along very well. But since Jia Zhen's death, Jia Huan has gained power in recent years, and these two have become obedient children, and they have not done many things.

When Xue Pan saw Jia Lian again, a little smile appeared on his face, Second Master Lian is still very particular about doing things, although he is not a person all the way, but the relationship is okay, and said: "Second Brother Lian..., where is this going?" ”

When Xue Pan commented on the people of Jiafu in his heart, he was also evaluated by the people of Jiafu in his heart. For example: Jia Lian looked down on Xue Da Fool from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't sit on the dog meat, so he smiled and said, "Go to Dongfu." Wen Qi is the return of Su Liu Mianhua again? ”

Xue Pan laughed proudly a few times and boasted: "I slept all night at Miss Cheng Qi'er in the alley of the Jiaofang Division. Hehe..."After letting out a laugh that all men understand, he arched his hand and said, "I'll go home first, and I'll invite Second Brother Lian to drink another day." ”

Jia Lian nodded and said goodbye to Xue Pan.

Jia Rong, Jia Qiang and other children of Jiafu who follow the cursive characters are all called Xue Pan and Uncle Xue. However, Jia Huan didn't even say hello to his brother-in-law, and they would not take the initiative to talk to Xue Pan. Everyone knows that the third master doesn't want to see Xue Da Fool, and in the prison of Dali Temple, he makes people cry and cry for his mother.

Everyone went around from North Street to Jiaomen Street, and after entering the West Corner Gate of Ning Guofu, they sat down in the main hall of the front yard of Ning Guofu. Jia Rong's longevity is with her longevity, and Xi'er brings someone to bring tea up.

Jia Lian drank tea and said with a smile: "Xue is a fool who can't brag." Cheng Qi'er is a good friend of Yuan Hao, the young man of Guanglu Temple in front of the Son of Heaven, how can he look down on him? From this year onwards, the spring sacrifice silver received in the Ministry of Rites in the past is in charge of Guanglu Temple, how many nobles begged Yuan Shaoqing? ”

The spring sacrifice silver is the reward of the Son of Heaven to the noble family. But every man with a knighthood has it. In the fifty-seventh chapter of the original book of Red Mansions, Jia Zhen said the situation here: Even if we use 10,000 silver to offer our ancestors, it is not as decent as this, and it is also blessed. In addition to one or two families like ours, those hereditary poor officials, if they don't rely on this silver, what will they take for the New Year? The real emperor's grace is vast and thoughtful.

Now, the spring sacrifice silver of Ningguo Mansion is led by Jia Rong, and the spring sacrifice silver of Rongguo Mansion is led by Jia Lian. Jia Lian knows how hot Yuan Shaoqing is now. How many people begged Cheng Qi'er to help say something in front of Yuan Shaoqing? How could she have time to accompany Xue Pan to eat, drink and sleep?

He only met Cheng Qi'er once that year in the name of Brother Huan. Of course, with the current status of Jia Mansion, he will definitely be able to see Cheng Qi'er if he wants to. It's just, in the green building, is the outer room that has been raised?

Jia Rong echoed and despised Xue Pan for a few words, "Uncle Xue is now more and more fond of showmanship, but in fact, he doesn't know the point." In our four major families, there are few people who are good with him. ”

Jia Huan sat at the top, drank tea, waved his hand, and said, "Xue Wenqi has a hangover and hasn't woken up, don't worry about him." ”

Xue Pan must have not woken up thoroughly. Otherwise, how dare you blow up a stab in front of him? Still snorting, do you want to find a smoke?

Jia Huan has an indifferent attitude towards Xue Pan and Aunt Xue, but he feels guilty about Sister Bao in his heart. Yesterday, he and Sister Bao didn't actually talk or talk about anything, but it made him memorable and unforgettable.

Jia Yun, Jia Qiong, Jia Chen, and Jia Lan all laughed, "This is natural." "The punishment of the third master has always been very severe. Xue Pan is the future brother-in-law of the third master, but is there any reason not to be afraid?

While everyone was talking and laughing, a small servant outside went back and forth, "Third master, the master of the house invites you to come and meet." ”

The grandfather in the mansion refers to Jia Rong's grandfather, the original owner of Ningguo Mansion, the holder of the Jia family's highest education record, and Jia Jing, who was born in the two lists.

Jia Rong, Jia Lian, and Jia Qiang all looked surprised. Master Jing has long been a monk and cultivated, and he cultivates in the Xuanzhen Temple outside the city all day long, not asking about the world.

When it was time to worship his ancestors, Jia Jing was sent home by Jia Rong. It is customary for these children of Jiafu to ask to see them, but Jia Jing is not there.

Jia Huan was also slightly strange, but he had nothing to fear. Within the two mansions, there was no existence that he needed to fear, so he got up and said calmly: "Okay." ”
