Looking at Mrs. Wang who was filled with indignation, she didn't know that she thought Jia Hui had offended her.
"It turns out to be the second wife. Yesterday, my nephew went to see Uncle Jing of Dongfu to discuss important matters. With the relationship between our two houses, the old lady wouldn't be so angry, right?"
"I am the old lady's biological grandson, and the old lady is my biological grandmother. How could I be so angry because I didn't go and say hello to Uncle Jing as soon as possible because I was discussing things with Uncle Jing?"
As he spoke, he looked at Jia Mu, wanting to see if Jia Mu wanted to convict herself or gain her own reputation.
Jia Mu was also a little confused in her heart at this time.
If he said that he was really angry and couldn't eat or sleep well, wouldn't it make others laugh to death if he spread the word about it?
The most promising grandson in his family is back. He was so angry because he went to his uncle to discuss the matter first and did not pay his respects to him immediately.
This is not consistent with my previous image of being kind and generous, caring for the young and caring for the poor.
She knew how many people in Shenjing City envied the Jia family for having a descendant like Jia Hui. If they knew about it, they would not be able to organize themselves.
"From the second brother's family, there is nothing to be angry between our grandparents and our grandchildren. Don't listen to the nonsense of a few servants and criticize brother Hui so harshly!"
In the end, Jia Mu chose fame and denied that Jia Hui was angry with her.
"Do you have anything to do with your second brother Lian? Your second sister-in-law happens to be here, you can talk to him!"
Really unwilling to say anything more, Jia Mu quickly changed her words and asked Jia Hui why she was looking for Jia Lian.
Jia Hui didn't hide anything, and said with a smile:
"The old lady doesn't know that the site for her grandson's Earl's Mansion is still being selected. I don't know when it will be built. During this period, I will still live in Rong Mansion.
Now that your grandson has been entrusted with an important task by His Majesty, he will inevitably have official business dealings in the future, so he plans to use the Tingfeng Hall to the east of Nuan Pavilion as a study! "
"Tingfeng Hall? Isn't that the old man's study?"
Before Jia Mu could speak, Mrs. Wang was the first to speak.
Jia Hui ignored her and continued to look at Jia Mu, wanting to ask her opinion.
"Brother Hui, why don't we find another place?"
Jia Mu seemed not to want to give up Tingfeng Hall to Jia Hui.
"Old lady, my grandson's future dealings involve court secrets and need to be guarded by personal soldiers. The outer study is fine. If the old lady is willing for my grandson to send troops into the inner courtyard to guard the inner study, I have no objection."
Hearing what Jia Hui said, Jia Mu also remembered that Tingfeng Hall was specially renovated by the old prince, probably to facilitate the guarding by his own soldiers!
"In that case, let's do it!"
Jia Mu couldn't really let Jia Hui's soldiers enter the inner courtyard, so she had no choice but to agree.
After settling the matter in the study, Jia Hui didn't want to listen to them talk about their parents' shortcomings, so he quickly stood up and left.
It happened that Jia Mu didn't want to see him either, so she let Jia Hui leave happily.
Then he started to call his servants to clean the entire Tingfeng Hall, and then called in two teams of soldiers to guard the two study rooms inside and outside.
When night fell, Jia Lian rushed home drunk from outside.
After hearing what Wang Xifeng said about the study, he didn't pay much attention. Under the service of his servants, he began to sober up slowly.
"Tell me about you. You spend your whole day out having fun, your brother is already an earl, and you haven't accomplished anything yet!"
Seeing Jia Lian slumped on the chair, Wang Xifeng suddenly became furious, pointed at Jia Lian and began to scold him.
"What you said is simple. You think going to the battlefield is just like playing house, but it will kill people. I don't have that life!"
"Besides, I am the inheritor of the Rongguo Mansion, so I don't need to be as desperate as my third brother. If I die in the battle, won't you become a widow?"
Listening to Jia Lian's useless words, Wang Xifeng had no choice but to sulk on the sidelines.
Thinking of the armored soldiers outside the mansion now, I couldn't help but start to envy them again.
Compared with Wang Xifeng's envy, Mrs. Wang who returned to the courtyard was crazy with jealousy.
Thinking of how Jia Hui ignored him in front of Jia Mu today, he was so angry that he threw all the items on the table to the ground.
"This bastard, who has just gained power now, doesn't take me seriously! How arrogant!"
The Zhou Rui family members beside them naturally knew the reason for Mrs. Wang's anger.
Ever since Mrs. Wang took charge of the family, no one had ever ignored her so much.
Mrs. Wang spoke several times today, but Jia Hui didn't even look at her. After being so despised, it was a good thing that Mrs. Wang could calm down and return home.
"Madam, now that Third Master Hui has become an uncle, it is normal for him to be a little arrogant when he is young. But Third Master Hui is a junior after all, and he still lives in the mansion, so why should Madam be sulking here!"
When Mrs. Wang heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, I am the head and director of Rongguo Mansion, how can I be so angry because of a junior?
Since you don't give me face, I want to see if your title of earl can be established in the backyard of your home!
"Go and call Brother Feng!"
Mrs. Wang regained her composure, put on a kind and benevolent expression, gave instructions to Zhou Rui's family, and began to chant scriptures in front of the Guanyin statue.
...
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed, and Jia Hui began to prepare to enter the Beijing camp.
In the past three days, Jia Hui also collected a lot of information about Beijing Camp and had some understanding of it.
Today's Jingying is no longer the invincible Jingying it used to be.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China was implicated, many generals and commanders in the Beijing camp were also affected and were transferred out of the Beijing camp.
Coupled with the decline of talents in the founding line, among the admirals of the twelve regiments of the Beijing camp, only the Siyong camp and the Shenwei camp of Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding are still under the control of the founding line.
The admirals of the remaining regiments and camps are now members of the upstart Longqing family.
Moreover, in recent years, the imperial court has no longer paid attention to the Beijing camp. Coupled with the deliberate indulgence of Longqing's upstarts, the soldiers in the Beijing camp have almost become old soldiers like a patrol camp.
Early in the morning, Jia Hui, served by Xi Ren, had breakfast, put on his armor and robes, got into his car and drove away from Rongguo Mansion.
"Uncle Zhenwu is driving here ahead? Your Majesty has given instructions to summon Zhenwu Uncle to Yangxin Hall to meet him!"
Just after leaving Ningrong Street, a group of servants blocked Jia Hui's path.
Upon hearing Emperor Taichang's summons, Jia Hui sent people to the camp outside the city to gather troops, and then followed Xia Shouzhong to the palace.
"Uncle Zhenwu, young uncle Feng, is also the queen of Zhongliang. His Majesty favors Uncle Zhenwu very much and mentions him often!"
Along the way, Xiangshou kept talking about how much Emperor Taichang valued Jia Hui, almost treating him as his own son.
Faced with the talkative Xia Shouzhong, Jia Hui naturally responded favorably.
He talked about his loyalty to Da Chu and Emperor Taichang, thinking about his ancestors, and wished he could gear up day and night to serve the country with his own life.
"We're here! Uncle Zhenwu, please come!"
The group of people came directly to Chengtianmen. The two stopped talking, got out of the car and entered the palace.
