Arriving at Ning Mansion, I walked through the front hall and soon arrived at Ning'an Hall. ...
In Ning'an Hall, two silver-haired old men sat at the head, presumably Jia Jing and Jia Mu.
The middle-aged men and women below should be Jia She, Jia Zheng and their wives.
As soon as he entered, Jia Hui attracted everyone's attention.
People in the east and west halls also looked towards the main hall through the curtains, some joking, some worried, as if they wanted to see what would happen to Jia Hui.
"I've met the master, madam!"
"I've seen the old lady!"
"I've met my master!"
...
Jia Hui knew that he was still very weak now, so he did not support anyone, so he greeted them one by one.
"You bastard, your uncle is celebrating his birthday today, and you didn't come to pay your respects. Do you still have any elders in your eyes?"
The speaker was Jia She, who glared at Jia Hui, probably blaming him for causing him to lose face today.
"Replying to the master, my son was infected with cold a few days ago. He was afraid of conflicting with his elders, so he didn't come."
But now that all Jia Hui's illnesses have disappeared, and his face is glowing red, even if he is infected with the cold, Jia She can't help but feel angry again.
"You have no respect for your elders, and now you are telling lies. Who taught you this? Let me see if I don't beat you to death today."
Then he waved his hand and hit Jia Hui.
Seeing this scene, Jia Hui wanted to hide but couldn't, so he had to tense up and wait for Jia She to fight.
"ah!"
With a scream, everyone came back to their senses and tried to stop Jia She.
But it was not Jia Hui who screamed, but Jia She.
He just hit Jia Hui, as if hitting a stone. The force of the shock made his palms numb, severe pain came from his hands, and he couldn't help but let out a scream.
"Master? Brother Hui, do you dare to resist your own father?"
Hearing Jia She's screams, Mrs. Xing quickly stepped forward to support Jia She and looked at Jia Hui beside her in disbelief.
"Master, my son has been practicing martial arts all year round and his body is rough, so I won't bother you anymore."
"My son caught a cold a few days ago and couldn't move in bed. He didn't even go to the kitchen for a few days. If my son hadn't been lucky and seemed to be protected by his ancestors, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to survive today."
"If the father doesn't believe it, he can go to the kitchen in the east courtyard and ask if his son has not eaten for several days. Then go to the door and ask if his son has never left the house."
Then Jia She temporarily stopped, and Jia Hui quickly explained.
It can be beaten and scolded by Jia She, but it cannot be wronged and accused of disrespecting its elders and lying.
In this era, reputation is really important to a person.
"You still dare to quibble, do you look like you are recovering from a serious illness?"
"Brother Hui, you are wrong. How can you deceive your elders and use such a poor excuse?"
It's a pity that no one cared about Jia Hui's words at this time and kept blaming Jia Hui.
Even Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng and others came over.
"That's enough! Isn't it chaotic enough?"
Seeing that the scene was becoming more and more chaotic, Jia Mu couldn't stand it anymore and shouted to stop everyone.
Then he said to Jia Jing:
"You've got to see a joke. I'm old, and I'm not strict with my management. I'm really unworthy of the Duke!"
"Wherever, the two mansions are so peaceful now, it's all because of the old lady sitting here. You are indispensable!"
"How about pardoning my brother, but he's injured?"
Jia Jing didn't like to watch the jokes made by everyone in Xifu. He complimented Jia Mu a few times and then came to Jia She's side.
Jia She's palms were already red and began to swell.
This shows how hard he worked just now.
Then he looked at Jia Hui, who was still standing upright at the side. With a thought, he stepped forward and touched Jia Hui's body.
"It is indeed strong. You said that you have been practicing martial arts since childhood. It seems that this is true."
Jia Hui had already tightened his tight muscles at this time, so that Jia Jing would not feel so hard to the touch.
Otherwise, no matter how stupid Jia Jing is, he will know that Jia Hui did it on purpose.
At this time, everyone began to look at Jia Hui and began to believe what he just said about practicing martial arts since childhood.
Otherwise, why would Jia She beat him, but Jia She would be injured like this?
"Are you feeling better, brother-in-law?"
At this time, Jia She also stopped wailing. When Jia Jing asked, he couldn't help but blush, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Brother Pardon, I don't think brother Hui is from Meng Lang. Maybe he is really bedridden and has received the blessing of his ancestors."
After everyone calmed down, they began to return to their seats.
Although Jia She was unwilling to do so, he also knew that this was not the time to vent his anger. With the help of Mrs. Xing, he returned to the chair with his hands covered.
"You just said you were blessed by your ancestors, but is that true?"
Jia Jing asked Jia Hui who was standing aside.
Of course Jia Hui knew it wasn't true, it was just a reason he gave himself.
But I can’t stand what the ancients were willing to believe.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention was attracted, and they all looked at Jia Hui to see what he would say.
"Returning to the great master, it may be that my nephew is ill and confused, but it is not necessarily true, but my nephew has been in bed for several days without a drop of water, and he is still alive. I thought that it must be the ancestors who protected my nephew and he was able to escape the catastrophe."
"If you don't believe me, please send someone to ask. My nephew has never left the courtyard in the past few days. He has never been to the kitchen or school, and has never left the house."
Then Jia Hui talked about the places he went to on weekdays, allowing them to explore at will.
Seeing what Jia Hui said in such detail, even if everyone still didn't believe it, they couldn't dwell on the matter anymore before finding out.
"Who is your maid? Why do you have to go get the food yourself?"
Jia's mother couldn't help but feel a little strange when she heard that Jia Hui had to go to the kitchen to prepare meals every day.
Are all the maids in the east courtyard so ignorant of the rules? He actually asked the master to prepare the meal himself.
He also said it in Dongfu, which made Jia Jing laugh.
"Back to the old lady, maid Chuntao was picked up by her family many years ago."
"Where's your wet nurse?"
"My grandma was so unlucky that she passed away when her grandson was only ten years old!"
This question and answer made Jia's mother so angry that she couldn't help but glare at Jia She and Mrs. Xing. Even Wang Xifeng, the new head of the family, complained.
As Wang Xifeng's daughter-in-law, she lived in the backyard, so she had no business in the east courtyard.
Besides, Mrs. Jia She and Xing didn't want to see her. She didn't even have time to hide, so how could she go to the east courtyard to point fingers.
But at this time, as the daughter-in-law, it was hard for him to say anything. He couldn't think of passing the blame to Mrs. Xing.
He had no choice but to kneel down next to Jia Mu and say:
"Old lady, it's all my granddaughter-in-law's fault. She forgot everything when she got busy, and she wronged Brother Hui.
On weekdays, I just think that as a sister-in-law, it is not easy for me to take care of the affairs in the brothers' courtyard, but I never thought that I would make my brothers suffer. "
"Old lady, please punish me, otherwise even if the old lady doesn't complain about me, I won't have the face to face Brother Hui!"
After saying that, he knelt there and waited for Jia Mu to show off.
