dream of red mansion

After breakfast, Wang Xifeng went to Mrs. Jia's room to greet her, and then went to Mrs. Wang's courtyard.

"I heard that there was a lot of trouble in Dongfu yesterday, do you know what happened?"

As soon as she entered the door, after greeting Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng heard her aunt ask.

"It's about to go back to my wife. As far as I know, it seems that something happened to Brother Zhen over there."

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Wang said.

"I don't know the details, but I just heard from an old mother in Sister-in-law You's room over there that the two masters over there actually fought last night, which aroused Uncle Jing's fury and dealt with many people. !"

Mrs. Wang was puzzled and said, "For what?"

The two men fought, and I haven't heard of it for many years.

Wang Xifeng was a little hesitant, not knowing how to reply to Mrs. Wang.

"Just say what you want!"

"It seems to be related to the Qin family..."

Mrs. Wang was numb.

They are all from big families, how could they not understand the meaning of this short sentence?

"Then what happened to Brother Zhen and Brother Qing? How did your uncle deal with it?"

Wang Xifeng said: "Brother Qing is fine, it's Brother Zhen who seems to have been beaten very badly by Uncle, with a total of [-] or [-] boards, and I heard that he was locked up."

Although I don't understand what exactly happened, but only from the obvious difference in punishment, I know what a stupid thing Jia Zhen has done.At Jia Zhen's age, Jia Jing didn't show any sympathy, beat him up and made him lose face, he was afraid that he would be completely abandoned by Jia Jing.

But these are all matters of the East Mansion, and she just understands them casually, and doesn't want to delve into it.

"Okay, I got it... Brother Qing will come over in the future, you should be careful and don't neglect. There is nothing else, you can go too!"

"Yes, ma'am."

How could Wang Xifeng not understand the meaning of Mrs. Wang's last instruction.Silently getting up and resigning, Wang Xifeng walked out of Mrs. Wang's courtyard, secretly saying: Ningguo Mansion is about to change!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Jia Qing's injury almost healed in the next few days. Today is the [-]th birthday of Mrs. Wang of the Wang family, one of the four major families.

Needless to say, Rongguo Mansion, the two people in charge of the mansion are both from the Wang family, so they are busy planning and planning on such an important day.

Moreover, Wang Ziteng has gained more and more trust from the emperor in the past few years. No, he was promoted to the governor of nine provinces a while ago, from first rank!

This is No. 1 in the stable officialdom of the four major families.

Therefore, Rongguo Mansion was mobilized by almost all staff starting from Jiamu.

Of course, Ningguo Mansion can't be absent, but Jia Jing has gradually ignored the matter of welcome and sending in the mansion over the years, and he doesn't want to go this time either.Jia Zhen, who usually does this work, was ordered not to leave the hospital. You Shi and Qin Shi are still ill...

Jia Rong was in the mansion, but his seniority was too low, so it would be a slight to let him go.As a last resort, Jia Jing had no choice but to ask Jia Qing and Jia Rong, two uncles and nephews, to go together.

The large troops of Rongguo Mansion had already moved ahead.When I left, I asked someone to come over and ask if I was with you.Jia Qing felt that there were too many masters in the Rongguo Mansion, and their seniority was too high, so it was unavoidable to walk all the way, so he reasoned that they were not ready yet, and let them go first.

At the east corner gate of Ningguo Mansion, Jia Rong was already waiting there.

"I've seen Second Uncle, the carriages, horses and congratulatory gifts are all ready, ready to go at any time."

Accompanied by Li Yan and Li Yan, Jia Qing walked over slowly.Looking at Jia Rong who was respectful to him, she lightly raised her forehead and said, "Let's go." With Wang Shun's support, he boarded the first carriage.

Jia Rong behind him raised a handsome face, showing resentment, but it was quickly replaced by fear and helplessness.

He went out of Beijing for business some time ago, and he came back from Japan the day before yesterday.Then, from the mouth of the servant next to him, he learned that Jia Zhen committed a crime and was caught by Jia Jing.

He also went to see Jia Zhen. That miserable image really terrified him!He thought about it for a while, if that board hit him, his life would be worse than death.

Later, he was rather happy.The mountain that had been pressing on him for a long time was finally temporarily removed by his grandfather.

It's not surprising that he can think so. The relationship between him and Jia Zhen is only oppressed and oppressed. When will there be any father-son relationship?Moreover, he has not realized that his identity as the heir of the Ningguo Mansion has been threatened.

It wasn't until last night that Jia Jing told him to follow Jia Qing's arrangements for everything today... Then he realized: Maybe without Jia Zhen, he might not be the head of the Ningguo Mansion.

There must be resentment!It's just that he is much worse than Jia Zhen, he doesn't even have the courage to resist the elders.

Taking a last look at the team that was about to set off, Jia Rong also silently got into the second carriage.

The team slowly starts...

In front of the palace, there is a lot of traffic.All kinds of exquisitely decorated soft sedan chairs and carriages are placed here.

Jia Qing and the others also stopped a stone's throw away from the main entrance.No way, the open space in front has been taken up.

"Here's some silver, tell them not to wait here, and go to a nearby restaurant to eat something later, just warn them not to delay."

Jia Qing's accompanying guards and other servants were at least twenty or so people. Although the palace's birthday banquet must have arranged places to entertain the servants of each mansion, it is also inappropriate to bring so many people in.So after Jia Qing got off the sedan chair, he asked Li Yan to take out a few taels of silver and give it to Lai Sheng, and ordered.

"On behalf of them, the old slave would like to thank the second master for his compassion."

Lai Sheng immediately bowed and thanked.The servants who heard it all thanked Jia Qing for his compassion.

Jia Rong on the side watched Jia Qing's actions silently, not knowing what he was thinking, seeing Jia Qing leading Li Yan and the two towards the main entrance, he quickly followed.

Lai Sheng briefly explained a few words to the people below, and then led them towards the main entrance with invitations and congratulatory gifts.

As the manager, of course he can go in and have a drink or two.

Although the area occupied by the Prince's Mansion is not as large as that of Ning Rong's Second Mansion, it is not small, and there are four houses in it.After passing through the Yimen Gate, to the front hall is a place specially used to entertain the servants of each government.

Lai Sheng and Li Yan stopped here, while Jia Qing and Jia Rong continued to be led by a young disciple of the palace. After passing the hall, it was the official banquet of the palace.

The house was full of guests and voices.

Jia Qing and the others came late, so as soon as Pu entered the door, he saw such a lively scene.There were no less than fifty or sixty tables in the entire courtyard, and except for a few empty tables, almost all of them were full.

Jia Qing was stunned, you know, all the masters from various prefectures can sit here, and all the servants are outside.Based on this calculation, I am afraid that nearly half of the mansions in the entire Shenjing City have sent people here!

Just looking at this momentum, it almost surpassed the time when Liu Yong held his birthday.

It seems that the fact that Wang Ziteng is the emperor's confidant is indeed right.Although it is possible that Wang Ziteng must have spread invitations widely in order to celebrate his mother's birthday, but so many people are willing to come, which is enough to explain the problem.

"Brother Qing Shi and Brother Rong, please sit down for a while. Brother Yu has to go to the front to entertain guests. I can't want to accompany you. Please forgive me!"

The son of the prince's mansion who led Jia Qing in was called Wang Ren, and he was the brother of Wang Xifeng of the Rongguo Mansion.It's just that their parents died early, and they have been living with their uncle, Prince Teng.

The Wang family's heirs are not prosperous, and Wang Ziteng has no children, only two daughters.Therefore, his younger brother Wang Zisheng was mainly responsible for the affairs of the mansion, and his nephew Wang Ren assisted him.
