Let's talk about Lu Yuxin, because he had friendship with Jia Lian. When he arrived at Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian was checking the accounts with Jia She.
There are many properties in Rongguo Mansion, and now that they are in Jia She's hands, he will naturally check them regularly.
Now that he only has Jia Lian as his legitimate son, he will naturally have to take these things with him. After all, the family business will be passed on to him in the future.
"Lian'er, tell your wife to let her go to your wife's place more often!"
"If two people are frozen like this, they will be laughed at for nothing!"
Jia Sheren only said these words now, which shows that he has already heard some rumors.
Jia Lian said helplessly: "Dad...she is a decisive person, but she may not listen to what her son says!"
"When a woman marries, she obeys her husband. You are the sky above her. How could she not listen to you!"
Jia She got angry when he mentioned this, and immediately scolded: "Show your masculinity, don't let others laugh at you!"
"yes!"
Just when Jia Lian was in dire straits, a young boy suddenly came from outside to send a message: "Second Master... Mr. Lu from the Long Imperial Guard is here. He said he has something important to see you!"
"I know, I'm waiting for you...I'll be there right away!"
"yes!"
After the boy left, Jia She asked curiously: "Which Master Lu of the Dragon Guard?"
Jia Lian replied: "This man has a very good relationship with the Thirteenth Master. When Hou Jing was in trouble in Jinling before, it was he who helped his son to save the day!"
"After returning to Beijing this time, my son thanked him specially and helped him with some personal matters, so he is now considered a good friend!"
"Well...you did a good job on this matter!"
"Since I am someone close to the Thirteenth Master, I must have something to do with you today. You should go quickly... don't neglect me!"
Although Jia She holds the title of a first-class son and leads a first-class Shenwei general, he cannot speak in the court without actual duties.
Lu Yuxin probably came on Zhu Jinghong's order, so he couldn't help but ignore him.
"yes!"
When Jia Lian came to the living room, Lu Yuxin had already finished a cup of tea and was chatting and laughing with the maid who was filling the cup.
"Brother Lu..."
Hearing this call, Lu Yuxin raised his head and looked outside. Sure enough, Jia Lian had arrived.
Lu Yuxin stood up and came out: "Brother Jia, you are finally here!"
The two returned to their respective seats. After some polite exchanges, Jia Lian asked about Lu Yuxin's purpose.
"I'm here to send a message to Master Thirteenth!"
"What's the matter?" Jia Lian didn't dare to be negligent and acted respectfully.
When it comes to serious matters, Lu Yuxin doesn't know how to talk about it, just because this matter is really ridiculous.
"Your Ning Mansion has an engagement with Qin Ye, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry. Do you know about this?"
Jia Lian was surprised for a moment, how could he mention this matter, but he still replied: "It is true, the girl is in the period of filial piety, and the marriage was not completed until November!"
Fiddled with the tea in the cup with the lid, Lu Yuxin said slowly: "This marriage... I'm afraid it will never be completed!"
"Why?" Jia Lian was even more curious.
"Qin Ye no longer plans to get married with your family. Today, when the Thirteenth Master mentioned this, the Thirteenth Master will make the decision for him... and ask the Ning Mansion to terminate the engagement!"
To be honest, these words were hard for Lu Yuxin to say, but he had to say them after receiving the order.
"ah……"
"Master Thirteen asked you to go to the Ning Mansion to explain the matter. If the Ning Mansion doesn't agree...he won't let you go easily!"
"We are relatives after all. It's up to me to say this... I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" Jia Lian was extremely embarrassed.
Lu Yuxin suppressed his smile and said calmly: "Brother Jia, you won't refuse what the Thirteenth Master has assigned you, right?"
He was reminding Jia Lian not to make mistakes. It was better to offend Jia Zhen than to offend Zhu Jinghong.
"Okay...I'll go and make peace. As for whether it will work out or not, it's hard to say!"
Hearing this, Lu Yuxin couldn't help but shook his head: "You are confused..."
"how?"
Lu Yuxin explained: "It's a success if the matter is done, but if it's not done, what will the Thirteenth Master think of you? Can you still be a good person in the capital in the future?"
This is really a fact. There are many people in the capital who cannot deal with the Jia family. As long as Zhu Jinghong expresses his dissatisfaction with the Jia family, there will naturally be troublemakers.
This is definitely not a joke. After all, Zhu Jinghong is one of the only princes in the Ming Dynasty. His high status will naturally attract countless people to kneel down and lick him.
"That's true. It seems that this errand... I must complete it!"
Picking up the tea cup and taking a sip, Lu Yuxin said slowly: "That person in Ruoning Mansion is a decent person, he will know what to do, if he is not decent..."
"With so many people in your family, you have to find a way to help him look decent!"
Jia Lian nodded, bowed his hands and said, "I understand, thank you Brother Lu for the tip!"
Standing up, Lu Yuxin was about to leave, and finally said: "I've told you the matter. It's best to get it done in these two days. You can come to me the day after tomorrow to explain the results!"
"Okay...I'll come find you then!"
Immediately, Jia Lian sent Lu Yuxin out of the house, and then went to find Jia She and told him all what Zhu Jinghong had ordered.
There is no doubt that Jia She was also surprised.
"This...this is really..."
"Dad...how do you think this should be handled?"
After thinking for a moment, Jia She said: "Since it is what the Thirteenth Master ordered, it must be done well!"
Jia Lian originally thought that his father would express his dissatisfaction first, and then reluctantly accept the reality, but he didn't know that the old man was already thinking about how to solve it.
After making this clear, Jia Lian no longer had any worries in his mind, he just thought about how to get things done.
"You go and tell him first. If he doesn't agree, I'll go!"
"yes!"
"Going right now!"
Are you in such a hurry? Jia Lian became more and more surprised.
"Yes... son, go now!"
"Go quickly!"
Seeing Jia Lian leaving, Jia She looked in reverie, thinking about how to handle this matter beautifully.
"Not only do we have to break off the engagement, but we also have to apologize to others, so that the Thirteenth Master can see our family's sincerity!" Jia She whispered.
With Jia She's full support, Jia Lian became much more courageous and went directly to the Ningguo Mansion next door.
At this time, Jia Zhen was listening to a play in the garden, and there were singers on the left and right sitting to serve her. It was a beautiful little day.
"Second Master Lian is here!"
Hearing the servant's reminder, Jia Zhen sat upright and saw Jia Lian coming quickly.
"What makes you so anxious?"
"Come on, come on... drink two glasses to moisten your throat first!" Jia Zhen greeted with a smile.
Jia Lian sat on a stool nearby and said with a serious expression: "Brother Zhen, don't be in a hurry to drink. I have something important to do here this time!"
"What's important?" Jia Zhen didn't care.
Jia Lian did not speak, but looked at the people around him: "You all stand down!"
This is Ningguo Mansion after all. Everyone looked at Jia Zhen and retreated after she nodded.
"Let me tell you...what happened that made you mobilize so many people?"
While talking, Jia Zhen also put some food into her mouth, with a relaxed and comfortable look on her face.
Anyway, he had no hope of becoming an official, so he was happy to live a leisurely life, so that he would not be in vain for his glory and wealth.
"I heard... that the Qin family has any intention of going back on Ronger's marriage?"
Hearing this, Jia Zhen sneered and said, "Why... did they ask for your help?"
Before Jia Lian could reply, Jia Zhen said coldly: "Then tell him... no matter who he asks for, we will not cancel the marriage!"
Jia Zhen reacted greatly, as if she had taken away his wife.
He had met the Qin family by chance, and he was so shocked that he couldn't help himself. Then he investigated Jie's family background, and then asked Jia Zheng to propose marriage to the Ning family.
Naturally, the two families formed a marriage contract, and everything was according to their plan. The marriage could be consummated only after the filial piety period was over.
A few days ago, the Qin family came to break off the engagement, but he was coaxed and scared to send them away. Unexpectedly, the Qin family still refused to give up.
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became. Jia Zhen stood up and said with murderous intent: "He really refuses to drink wine and is fined with wine. Does he think my Ningguo Mansion is broken?"
"Break off the engagement? Don't even think about it!"
Seeing Jia Zhen's anger, Jia Lian said calmly: "But this... is what the Thirteenth Master meant!"
