Chapter 82 Jia Zhen

Jia Lian changed her clothes, rode a horse and went to Ningguo Mansion.

Speaking of which, although Ningguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion are next to each other, they occupy such a large area and are separated by a long north-south lane, so that from Rongguo Mansion to Ningguo Mansion, you still have to go around. Very long distance.

Especially the first half of Rongguofu East Road, that is, after the East Cross Courtyard was divided into Jia She’s courtyard, the east corner gate of Rongguo Mansion was replaced by the gate of the East Cross Courtyard, so that the two houses Mutual access can only be achieved through the west corner gate of Rongguo Mansion, which further extends the access distance.

Therefore, the exchanges between the masters of Ning and Rong Mansion usually required traveling by car or horseback.

Go straight into Ningguo Mansion from the west corner gate of Ning Mansion. When you get to the courtyard, you get off your horse and let the boy lead the horse.

Jia Rong and Jia Qiang had already greeted them, and Jia Zhen also came out of the Yimen to greet them personally.

"Hahaha, I heard that brother Lian has received a reward from your majesty and is about to lead the army to win glory for the country. I specially prepared a small wine show for brother, and one for brother Lian to practice in advance and wish Lian in advance Brothers are about to succeed and triumph.

Secondly, we brothers haven’t been together for a while. Last time you sent someone to bring me those large carts of watermelons, I haven’t found a chance to thank you yet. , today I am all in agreement."

Jia Zhen is a middle-aged man in his late forties, with a slightly thin face, and a bit of haggardness like Jia She, who has faded away from drinking and drinking. He has a beard on his chin and upper lip, making him look even more old-fashioned.

When he saw Jia Lian arriving, he immediately walked down from the hall, talking and inviting Jia Lian in with a smile.

Jia Lian also smiled politely and followed him into the Yimen.

From the ceremonial gate, pass through the hall and the inner hall, then enter the three inner gates, and finally pass through the inner ceremonial gate and the inner hanging flower gate, and finally enter the main hall.

A simple stage had been set up in the courtyard in front of the main hall, and Jia Zhen led Jia Lian from the hand-chaosi corridor to the banquet in front.

"Brother Lian, please..."

"Brother Zhen, please."

Jia Zhen and Jia Lian were polite to each other, Jia Rong He and Jia Qiang quickly pulled out the two chairs in front of him. After they sat down, they took the silver flask from the maid's hand and poured a glass of wine for each of the two elders before they dared to come. The seat next to me was taken.

Jia Zhen said with a smile: "Brother Lian is mighty. Brother, I have heard that you, yesterday, gave the prince of the palace a severe beating. In the end, you not only escaped with your body. , and also received the emperor's praise and was granted the position of a fifth-grade school captain?

This is really embarrassing for our parents. "

Jia Lian looked at Jia Zhen's smile and felt a little emotional.

Speaking of which, the relationship between "him" and Jia Zhen is really good. !

As the inheritor of the Jia family, Jia Zhen is also the patriarch of the Jia family. She needs to unite the brothers in the family.

As for the children of other families, Either there is too much difference in status, or they have different temperaments. For example, Jia Baoyu’s elder brother, scholar Gong Jia Zhu, cannot get along with Jia Zhen. In this way, only he, Jia Lian, will be the future leader of Rongguo Mansion. Jia Zhen, the person who inherited the title, is the only one of his peers in the two houses who has grown up and is still alive. He has just been able to have fun with him.

After going back and forth, two cousins ​​with similar odors are not the same. Can we get together?

What’s more, Jia Lian himself does not have sufficient financial and beauty sources, but Jia Zhen, as the owner of a government palace, is naturally not lacking in this aspect, and has the right Brother is also considered generous. It can be said that more than half of the women Jia Lian played with were obtained through the channels of Ningguo Mansion, and many of them were even arranged by Jia Zhen herself...

Thinking of this, Jia Lian He couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.

Logically speaking, if possible, he really didn't want to take action against his big brother.

"Brother Zhen was joking. , not to mention mighty, just being driven to the stand and had to do that.

As for the official position, I was indeed lucky enough to get one, but the documents from the ministry have not yet come down, so I still don’t know what rank it is. "Jia Lian smiled.

"Brother Lian, don't be humble. I have heard that you are going to be our uncle's grain officer. With our uncle's status among the military attachés, the noise of traveling will definitely be serious. If you help him manage food, your level will certainly not be different.

As my elder brother, I have calculated it for you. As a school lieutenant, you must be at least fifth grade. ”

As the head of the Ningguo Mansion and the head of the Jia family, Jia Zhen naturally has a wider range of contacts than Jia Lian, who helps Jia Zheng manage the house. In addition, she is almost twenty years older, and she is more familiar with officialdom. Naturally, he knows more about this than Jia Lian.

Jia Lian cupped his hands and said with a smile: "That's the good news from Brother Zhen. "

Jia Zhen smiled, ordered the show to begin, and invited Jia Lian to have the first glass of wine. Riding on the drunkenness, Jia Zhen put her arm on Jia Lian's arm and laughed, "Say it, do it. Brother, I must envy you. At such a young age, you have already been granted a fifth-grade official position by His Majesty. Your future will naturally be unlimited.

Unlike me, relying on the honor of my ancestors, I only assumed the position of the third grade in vain., I'm afraid that in a few years, you, the younger brother, will surpass the older brother. "

Jia Lian didn't want to wear this high hat. He quickly smiled and said: "Brother Zhen is joking. A small official position of fifth or sixth grade is really nothing to people like us, let alone the same people. The hereditary position in our family has been compared. Brother Zhen said this, and the younger brother was ashamed. "

Jia Zhen smiled. His words were originally polite. Seeing Jia Lian's behavior, she changed her tone and said: "It's just that the third-grade position of brother has no future, but Better than stability.

Brother Lian, you have to listen to my advice. It is good to serve the country as an emperor's official, but it is not for people like us who are accustomed to wealth and honor. Think about it, is it so easy to pass through the bitter cold land over there?

I heard that my uncle’s trip this time was to face the barbaric Tatar tribe. This is a fatal errand.

If you are an ordinary member of our family, then there is nothing else to say. Brother, I really want you to go to that kind of place. It is best to use your life to earn another hereditary title for our family. return! But you are not. After a hundred years, the title in your mansion will not belong to you?

Maybe you will be one level higher than my brother if you inherit it at that time. Why should you take this risk? In the end, maybe it is better to directly inherit the family title. What do you think? Why bother? "

When Jia Lian heard this, he just smiled and said: "Brother Zhen is absolutely right, but it is difficult to disobey the emperor's order, so I have to go. "

Jia Zhen smiled and nodded: "I'm not telling you to disobey the emperor's order, I'm just afraid that you are young and will not care about anything else when you are angry.

We are just talking in private. Those who are involved in danger and fighting against thieves can just leave it to those idiots. You have a noble status, so don’t mess around with them. It's best to find an excuse to come back after the errand is completed. Then you will reap the benefits, and we brothers can often have fun again. Wouldn't it be nice? "

What else could Jia Lian say to such words? He could only smile and say: "Brother Zhen said yes, I will remember it. ”

Jia Lian saw it. Probably Jia Zhen saw that he actually got the official position from the emperor, and felt that he might be more promising in the future, so as the leader of the clan, he naturally wanted to win over him more and strengthen his brothers. There was a good relationship between them.

In this way, with Jia Zhen’s intentional unity, the two juniors Jia Rong and Jia Qiang next to them also flattered a few words from time to time, and the scene was very harmonious.< br />
When Youshi came over, Jia Zhen asked her: "What are you doing here? Don’t you need to wait on the old ladies and ladies inside? ”

I don’t know if it’s a big familyAccording to the tradition, the attitude of the men of the Jia family towards their wives is worse than the last.

Either speaking harshly, or keeping a straight face, as if this is the only way to demonstrate his status as a man.

The same is true for Jia Zhen. She was chatting and laughing with Jia Lian at first, but when You came, her face dropped.

As Jia Zhen’s successor, the mistress of the Ningguo Mansion, You is actually very young, only three or four years older than her other sister-in-law, Li Wan.

Because she came from a poor family and was lucky enough to become the mistress of the Duke's mansion, she was careful in everything and never dared to offend Jia Zhen.

This is similar to Mrs. Xing, but what’s better about her than Mrs. Even Jia's mother is quite satisfied with her as her nephew's daughter-in-law.

"The old lady and her daughter-in-law are taking care of them. Let me take a look at the uncle's side..."

Jia Zhen didn't know where she was when she heard what You said. He had a bad temper and snorted coldly: "What's so good about us here? Have I neglected brother Lian?

If you don't go back yet, your daughter-in-law is so delicate and fragile. How can she take care of her alone when her elders are here?"

When Jia Lian heard this, he sighed, this was the crux of the matter.

If he were an ordinary person, after listening to Jia Zhen’s words, he might just think that Jia Zhen prefers his daughter-in-law to his daughter-in-law. However, he is a descendant and knows the inside story. The words just don't sound right.

The Qin family has only been in the family for less than a year. Could it be that Jia Zhen is already lustful?

Probably so. After his father became a monk and became a Taoist priest, Jia Zhen had a hand in Ningguo Mansion. She was used to doing whatever was wrong. She was afraid that it would only be a matter of time before she would attack her daughter-in-law.

If the Qin family were just ordinary people, it would be just another scandal in a wealthy family...

But, according to the information he got from snooping, this Qin family’s The identity is probably really extraordinary...and it's obvious that Jia Zhen herself understands this. However, Jia Zhen still couldn't control her lust, which eventually led to Qin's suicide, ultimately leaving the root of Jia's downfall!

In fact, it has to be said that he is a typical example of sex that makes people stupid.

However, Jia Lian has no good solution for this. Jia Zhen's current identity and status are much higher than his, and he cannot interfere with Jia Zhen's actions.

However, he has already made a preliminary plan and started to implement it. As for whether it can finally work and change the outcome of the Qin family, that is, the outcome of Ning Guofu,It’s hard to say.

There was no time to think too much. When Youshi came over, he had to stand up and saluted Youshi: "I have met my sister-in-law~~"

"Brother Lian, don't be too polite, sit down quickly..." Youshi was responding to Jia Zhen's words, and because she was close, she hurriedly helped Jia Lian.

Just when he raised his eyes and met Jia Lian's eyes, a meaning that only the two of them understood could not help but linger around. He did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Jia Zhen and others, so he turned around quickly and gave instructions. After Jia Rong took care of the place, he took the maid there.

The author found that the east corner gate of Rongguo Mansion did not appear in the Red Mansion. When Daiyu went to visit Jia She, the description was that the carriage passed through the main gate of Rongguo Mansion and entered a black gate, which is the east cross courtyard. , therefore, it is very likely that the gate of the East Cross Courtyard is the original East Corner Gate of Rong Mansion. Or after another gate is opened in the east cross courtyard, the east corner gate of Rong Mansion will no longer be used.

If anyone sees a description of the East Point Gate of Rongguo Mansion in the original work, they can take a screenshot and correct it.
