Where Daxia was founded, Emperor Taizu Gao once made Jinling his capital. The two mansions of Ning and Rong also came from Jinling, and they only followed Emperor Taizong to the north.
To this day, Jinling is still the most prosperous place in Daxia outside the capital, and even surpasses other places in Daxia, including the capital, in terms of prosperity.
Merchants gathered on the pier. Many merchants traveling from north to south looked curiously at Jia Cong, who looked like a python, and the majestic Yu Linlang, whispering but did not dare to approach.
Jia Cong glanced around and saw no Jinling people coming to greet him, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
However, he still controlled his emotions, returned the favor to Xue Pan, and asked: "Brother Xue, how to get to the Zhen family?"
ah?
Xue Pan's eyes widened and he asked in confusion: "We've already arrived in Jinling, brother Cong won't come to my house?"
Jia Cong pointed at the boxes guarded by Yu Linlang and said with a wry smile: "You must first finish the errands assigned by the saint before going to see your aunt."
When he heard Jia Cong mention the word saint, he glanced at the majestic and solemn Yulin Lang and thought of the Jingguan in front of the city gate of Huai'an Prefecture.
hiss! Why do I feel like vomiting again?
Xue Pan trembled and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, errands are important, errands are important...Brother, I will lead the way. Although my family and the Zhen family have not had much contact over the years, I mostly go to give gifts during the New Year. I am very familiar with the road." …”
The Jinling Zhen family is also a queen of meritorious service. Although not as noble as the Jia family, a legendary figure emerged during the Taiping and Xingguo years.
Today’s imperial consecrated lady, the wet nurse of the Supreme Emperor, and the ancestor of the Zhen family!
In the late period of the Taiping and Xingguo period, there was strife in the harem. With the protection of this wet nurse, Liu Ji, who was still a young prince, survived until the death of Emperor Taizong and ascended the throne.
Later, the powerful minister took control of the government, and Mrs. Zhen shielded Liu Ji several times. Only then did Liu Ji regain his power in the crisis, take charge of the affairs personally, and eventually became a saint king.
Liu Ji once said to Mrs. Zhen when she left the palace and returned to the south, "This is my old man!"
During the Zhaowu period, the Holy Emperor made six tours to the south, all of which were stationed at Zhen's house. This shows the status of Lady Feng Sheng in the heart of the Supreme Emperor.
When Jia Cong set out, Jia She had warned him that he could act stupid at any time, but he could never be rude to Mrs. Zhen. Because even Jia Daishan had received favor from Mrs. Zhen.
The rest of the Zhen family has nothing to do with the Jia family, but Mrs. Zhen is the elder of everyone in the Jia family.
The Jinling Zhen family is located in the wealthy area of Jinling North City. The vermilion door slowly opens. Zhen Yingjia took a young man who looked very similar to Jia Baoyu out of the house to greet him in person, and all the other men in the Zhen family followed behind.
"Greetings to Uncle Shi, we say goodbye to Yangzhou. Uncle Shi has lost a lot of weight. It's cold in late autumn, so Uncle Shi should pay more attention to his health!"
This time, Jia Cong didn't behave like he did in Yangzhou. The etiquette was so complete that no one could find fault with it.
Xue Pan next to him also saluted and said hello. Zhen Yingjia glanced at Xue Pan in surprise, then nodded and said: "Good boy, please get up quickly... Baoyu, before you come forward to greet me, Brother Cong has received the holy grace at the age of eight. I’ll give you an official title and look at you again…”
Another national thief!
Baoyu of the Zhen family originally saw that Jia Cong was good-looking, but after hearing his father's words, his impression instantly dropped by 30%. He even caught a glimpse of Jia Cong's flying fish suit and felt it was extremely dazzling.
Jia Cong would not give others a reason to talk, so he took a step forward and bowed: "I have met Brother Zhen... Huh? Brother Zhen is so similar to my second brother Jiabao, even their names are the same..."
The voice became lower and lower, and finally only Zhen Yingjia heard Jia Cong's last muttered clearly: "Isn't the second brother Bao and the eldest brother of the Zhen family a biological brother? Ah, is that the biological son of Uncle Shi or the biological son of the second uncle? son?"
Zhen Yingjia almost lost her composure. Jia She's son was just as bastard as him. Back then, Marquis Jia En was such a messy person, but he didn't expect that his youngest son would be the same!
Fortunately, Zhen Baoyu was still observant of etiquette, and returned the gift half-heartedly, then whispered to his father who was lost in memories, and welcomed Jia Cong and others through the door.
Since we are doing things according to the decree, it is natural to take the holy mission as the priority.
Madam Feng Sheng is already eighty years old and is already very popular nowadays. As the wet nurse of a saint, Jia Cong held the holy edict in hand and took the imperial gift directly into the inner hall of Zhen's mansion and went to the old lady's room to declare the edict.
The layout of the Zhen Mansion is roughly the same as that of the Rongguo Mansion. The old lady lives in the most comfortable and luxurious courtyard of the Zhen family.
On the main hall hangs a plaque written by the saint: "Feng'en Hall". After Jia Cong walked into the main hall, he knelt down and kowtowed. The "dong" sound showed his sincerity.
"General Wude, Xiaoqiwei, and Dragon Imperial Guard Qianhu Jia Cong pay their respects to Madam Fengsheng!"
Before the old lady could respond, he kowtowed again and said: "Jia Cong of the Rongguo Mansion wishes the old lady good luck, peace and prosperity!"
"Ah, it's Daishan's grandson who's here. Get up, get up, come closer, let me see..."
Madam Feng Sheng has a head full of white hair, but her complexion looks good. She is rich and kind, without the slightest hint of malice from Princess Zhen.
After hearing this, Jia Cong stood up, walked calmly to the old lady, and let her pinch her chubby face and touch her head.
Suddenly his hand was heavy, and when he lowered his head, he saw that there was a piece of Maitreya Buddha carved from beautiful jade.
The old lady touched his head and said with a smile: "I heard you were coming earlier, so I had people prepare a meeting gift. This is the consecrated Buddha statue I asked for from Jiming Temple."
Jia Cong would not push around like other people. He grinned and bowed his thanks: "That junior has taken advantage of me. With the blessing of a Buddha statue from a longevity star like the old lady, I will be invincible to all ghosts in the future. I am blessed." I have both wealth and wealth!"
"You are such a lovable kid. Your grandfather was like this back then. He told me whatever I wanted to hear..."
The well-behaved and lovable Jia Cong made the holy lady laugh and called the maids and wives to prepare a feast.
By the time Jia Cong finished pronouncing the Emperor's edict and handed over the secret letter written by the emperor to the old lady, the main people of the Zhen family were already waiting in the main hall to accompany the old lady and Jia Cong to have a meal.
The Zhen family has received many gifts from holy envoys over the years, so the reception for Jia Cong's arrival this time was basically a routine one.
But the old lady felt that this time's oracle was a bit unusual. However, she was happy today and did not intend to ask any more questions. Instead, after the banquet, she made sure that Jia Cong stayed in the Zhen Mansion, saying that she wanted to introduce the younger generation of the Zhen family to him. know.
After repeated rejections, Jia Cong still couldn't withstand the old lady's enthusiasm, so he sent Xue Pan out of the house and lived in Zhen's guest house.
As night fell, Jia Cong recalled what he saw and heard at Zhen's house today, tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep.
Wait until midnight, he finally waited for someone.
"Uncle Eleven, what did my father say about the Zhen family?"
Jia Shiyi, dressed in black, sat beside Jia Cong's bed and whispered: "The general said that if Mrs. Feng Sheng is still alive, the Zhen family will not be destroyed. The general will let the mistress play happily in Jinling and choose a day." He will come to Jinling in person to deal with the unfinished business."
"Then uncle's revenge will not be avenged?"
Although Mrs. Fengsheng was very kind to him, Jia Cong still couldn't let his enemy go without a small favor.
Just listen to Jia Shiyi sneer: "If the Zhen family can't be destroyed, it can't be destroyed, but it's okay to cause trouble for Zhen Yingjia. Cui Xuanye put all Liu Wei's crimes on Zhen Yingjia, and Mr. Liu also asked the Dragon Imperial Guard to collect a large amount of The evidence has been sent to the capital. I think the saint will be angry with the Zhen family and 'coerce' the prince to seize the legitimate rights and rebel!"
