Chapter 2849 The raccoon slave jade plays, the monk casts spells

Chapter 14 Ning Mansion went to a banquet to teach 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 embarrass 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 careful. Now Jia Lan 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. Now that he had returned safely, he quickly held his son in his arms and looked at him carefully before asking.

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

The son traveled thousands of miles and his mother was worried. 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 about the life that he and his son had lived in the mansion over the years. The world was cold and cold, and the people were warm and cold, but it was so vivid 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 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 had a look of surprise on her face. 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-proclaimed, her eyes are clear of dust, and she 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.

To the east, the plum blossoms were in full bloom in the central garden of Ning Mansion. Jia Zhen and his wife Youshi hosted a banquet, inviting 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 an article.

Jia Chang nodded secretly. Although Jia Zhen and his son were incompatible, the calligraphy and painting were still very tasteful. It was probably not arranged by Jia Zhen, but by his old monk Jia Jing, the previous generation head of Rongguo Mansion. He was the only Jinshi in the Jia family, but because he was implicated in the deposed crown prince, he had to enter a Taoist temple to practice, stay away from the mortal world, and devote himself to pursuing Taoism and immortality.

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

Jia Zhen looked at Jia Chang. He and Jia Chang had not met each other several times. They only met briefly once when Jia Chang was granted the title of Marquis. This was the first time today that they sat so close.

Jia Zhen looked at it carefully and saw that the young man was stern, elegant and handsome, with clear eyes, black and white, sharp eyes, sharp eyes. Just sitting there, he gave people a sense of calmness and self-power, which made Jia Zhen aside. Rong shivered.

"There is no comparison between people. They are both sons. My son is a useless person. I wish I could strangle him to death!"

Jia Zhen glared at Jia Rong, who had a fearful look on her face, snorted coldly and said angrily.

"You're such an unsatisfying thing, don't you know how to call someone?"

When Jia Rong heard her father's scolding, she huddled up and trembled. She quickly stood up, bowed and said to Jia Chang.

"My nephew has met his uncle!"

Jia Zhen and Jia Chang are of the same generation. Although Jia Rong is several years older than Jia Chang, he calls Jia Chang uncle.

Jia Chang nodded slightly. He had a bad impression of Jia Zhen and his son. He looked calm and said softly.

"Get up!"

Jia Rong then straightened up and sat down carefully. He kept looking at his father from the corner of his eyes, for fear of being scolded again.

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

While chatting, somehow the subject of Jia Chang's deceased mother came up. Jia Zhen looked solemnly and said to Jia Zheng.

"Now that Brother Chang has been honored as Marquis of Wu'an, we should also make some changes regarding his late mother. I think it is better to enshrine her token in the ancestral hall to highlight her contribution!"

Mother is more valuable than her son, and Jia Chang was granted the title of Marquis and General. As Jia Chang's biological mother, her status naturally increased, and she was qualified to enter the Jia family's ancestral hall and enjoy the incense offered by descendants.

When the housekeeper heard this, he was stunned for a moment, glanced at Jia Chang who was calm, thought about it for a while, felt that it was understandable, nodded and said.

"What you said is true, but I was negligent. Chang'er is now the Marquis of Wu'an, and her mother is naturally qualified to enter the Jia family's ancestral hall!"

Jia Chang was a little surprised. He didn't expect Jia Zhen to be so adventurous. She took the initiative to bring up the matter and showed her kindness to him, which saved him a lot of effort. He nodded slightly and said.

"Thank you so much, Brother Zhen. I'll give you a toast with tea instead of wine!"

Jia Chang picked up the tea cup on the table and drank it all, very happily.

Jia Zhen was secretly happy. Sure enough, she made the right move. She 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, Dinghaizhen, and this is what you should be doing!"

Jia Chang nodded slightly. His biological mother's entry into the ancestral hall was indeed in compliance with the rules. It was not an exception. Every big family had this rule. Concubines and others could worship the mother and enter the ancestral hall to enjoy the incense.

Jia Chang and Jia Zhen chatted for a while, became a little impatient, said something, and walked out of the room to get some air. They happened to meet Jia Baoyu and a beautiful woman, followed by the maid and mother-in-law.

This woman was born with a beautiful face, a bun with green clouds, eyebrows that are not traced but green, lips that are not dotted but red, her beautiful cheeks are flawless, pear cheeks are better than snow, she is graceful and delicate, gentle and peaceful.

Jia Chang wanted to retreat, but it was too late and he ran into him head on. Jia Chang could only stand where he was and said.

"Where are you going, Brother Bao?"

Jia Baoyu was an idiot. He liked all men and women as long as they were handsome. However, Jia Chang often used the humble words and righteousness of a saint to deal with him, which made him tired.

"I'm so drunk that I want to find a place to take a rest!"

Jia Chang nodded slightly and looked at the woman beside him. His expression was calm and his eyes were calm. He was not moved by the woman's beautiful appearance and just spoke lightly.

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

Jia Chang had already guessed about this woman's identity, so he asked directly.

"My niece-in-law has met my uncle!"

Qin Keqing bowed slightly and bowed. Her voice was charming and clear, and extremely pleasant to the ears. No wonder it made Jia Zhen, an old pervert, covet her.

"Where are you taking Baoyu to rest!"

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

Qin Keqing had a faint smile on her beautiful face, her eyes moved slightly, she looked at Jia Chang, secretly praised her good looks and style, and answered.

"I just arranged a room for Uncle Bao. He thinks the room is tacky, so I'm going 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.

"It's ridiculous, there's no reason for uncle to rest in his nephew's room!"

Qin Keqing chuckled softly when he heard this, and said with a bit of willfulness and sadness in his laughter.

"So what, we are innocent and have nothing to do with each other, so why should we care about those rumors!"

When Jia Chang heard this, he thought thoughtfully. It seemed that Qin Keqing was harassed by Jia Zhen, so he deliberately vented his willfulness like this. 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. He immediately softened the phoenix egg and whispered.

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

After that, Jia Baoyu left with the maid and her mother-in-law. He said 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 can 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 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 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 covetous 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. I will never allow Brother Zhen to do anything that is disgraceful to the family! But I also hope that I can keep myself safe and don't give up on myself and let myself down, just like today, I brought a man into my room. What happened must never happen again, you understand!"

Qin Keqing was in a daze, looking at the handsome face so close, her pretty face flushed 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 forgive you 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 tears of 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 face 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 Jia Zhen who was a little angry, 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 the Qin family is the daughter of the deposed prince and was adopted by Qin Ye, the maintenance man of the Ministry of Industry. This matter was originally arranged by His Majesty. Otherwise, why do you think Qin Ye would adopt a girl! Then the Qin family 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 help 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.
