While Zhu Jinghong was chatting with brothers Jia She, everyone in the Jia family in Ningguo Mansion had learned that Jin Yiwei had successfully rescued people.
Everyone in the two houses was happy, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed for a while, especially Mrs. Wang who was so happy that she cried with joy. Jia Baoyu on the side just watched blankly.
Just as everyone was preparing to celebrate, they saw a boy coming from outside to report: "Old lady Qi, Second Master Zhen Yelian, I have sent a message to the whole family to go down and thank the Thirteenth Master!"
Hearing this, Jia Lian couldn't help but slap his forehead and said quickly: "Oh... I forgot about this!"
Looking at Xue Pan, Jia Lian continued: "These days... the Thirteenth Master has helped us a lot. Today, we saved the master and the second uncle. We should go and say thank you!"
"Yes...it's true, it's true!"
Jia Zhen agreed, but he didn't think so in his heart, just because he was afraid to see Zhu Jinghong.
The feeling of the knife on his neck before still gave him lingering fear.
At this time, Xue Pan came out and said loudly: "It just so happens that the Thirteenth Master is here, so I can talk to him about the foreigners!"
The Jia family was in trouble just now, and he, as an outsider, didn't really feel it, so he hid aside and dozed off because he was too tired last night.
Under Jia Lian's greeting, all the men and women in the house went out of the hall, but unexpectedly there was a noise in the hall.
Jia Lian couldn't help but entered the hall, only to see his cousin Baoyu making trouble.
"I won't go... I won't go, I don't want to see that Thirteenth Master!"
Baoyu started to make a fuss, and Xiren and others could not persuade him, so Daiyu and others also came to persuade him.
"Second brother, it's better to stop making trouble... The Thirteenth Master has done a great favor to our family, so it's appropriate to go and see him!" Tan Chun looked anxious.
"Hmph... I won't go, and neither do you, Sister Lin!" At the end of the sentence, Jia Baoyu came to Daiyu.
He had always remembered that Zhu Jinghong had specially sent medicinal materials to Daiyu. Under the influence of a sense of crisis, he felt that the Thirteenth Master had ulterior motives.
Now that this person is here, if he saw Daiyu's fairy-like appearance with his own eyes, wouldn't he feel possessive on the spot?
If that were the case, he would have really lost Sister Lin!
Jia Baoyu knew his identity very well. Compared with Zhu Jinghong, he was like dust, and he was not qualified to compete with the majestic legitimate son.
"I……"
"Baoyu, what are you talking about?" Jia Lian was approaching now.
"Second brother, Sister Lin and I are not going!"
Jia Lian was very angry at first, but now that he heard these stupid words again, his heart immediately became filled with anger.
Hearing a "pop" sound, Jia Lian slapped Baoyu angrily and knocked Baoyu to the ground.
Everyone was stunned, no one expected this to happen.
"Bastard...what nonsense are you talking about!" Jia Lian yelled.
When he continued to step forward to take action, he was held back by Tanchun Yingchun, while Daiyu stepped forward to help Baoyu up.
"Sister Lin, let him get up by himself!"
Jia Lian's tone was stern and he acted like an elder brother. Several people present really didn't dare to act rashly.
"Get up quickly!"
Jia Baoyu was frightened at this moment. He was a spoiled young man, and he had never encountered such a scene.
Under Jia Lian's gaze, Jia Baoyu covered his face and climbed up, lowering his head and not daring to look at the second brother next to him.
"Get out!" Jia Lian's tone was still cold.
Previously, Jia Baoyu almost lost his life due to the incident of "being born with a jade in his mouth", but it was Zhu Jinghong who helped him resolve the crisis.
Now everyone in the Jia family is going to pay homage. If Zhu Jinghong thinks of this and asks Jia Baoyu to come out to see him, then Baoyu will no longer be in trouble.
Therefore, Jia Baoyu must go through both emotions and reasons.
Under Jia Lian's scolding, Jia Baoyu covered his face and walked out of the hall, and followed the others to Rongguo Mansion.
Daiyu and others, surrounded by maids, followed Jia Lian to Rongguo Mansion.
As for the Rongguo Mansion, as everyone from the Jia family came over, the guards at the gate began to conduct strict inspections.
The chilling atmosphere inside and outside the mansion really frightened everyone in the Jia family and made everyone feel uneasy.
The people who were originally chattering became extremely quiet after entering the mansion, and they all stood quietly under the guidance of the guards.
Jia Baoyu never thought that one day he would be inspected when he returned home, and he would be scolded by the dirty sergeant.
When everyone in the Jia family arrived, only the male relatives stood outside the hall, while the rest stood in the yard.
"Your Majesty, Jia She... brings all the people of the mansion to visit the Thirteenth Master!"
There was only one person in the lobby, Jia She, including Jia Zheng, who was kneeling outside the door at this moment, clearly showing who was in charge of the Jia family.
When Jia She was prostrating, everyone outside the hall also knelt down to salute. Jia's mother also knelt down with the support of Mrs. Xing and others.
Daiyu and other young women were kneeling at the back, unable to see clearly what was going on in the hall.
Looking at Jia She in front of him, Zhu Jinghong smiled and said slowly: "Get up!"
After Jia She and others stood up, Zhu Jinghong smiled and said: "In the past, there were rumors that the atmosphere in the Jia family was not right, but now it seems to me... that they are well behaved and know etiquette!"
"By the way...where is the Baoyu who was born with jade in his mouth?"
Good guy, when they heard the words "born with a jade in their mouth", all the senior officials of the Jia family present were frightened. They just wanted this matter to be forgotten.
Jia She laughed twice, and then explained: "Thirteenth Master, there is such a thing as being born with a jade in one's mouth, it's just a rumor passed down by the servants!"
"Where are the others?"
Meeting Jia Baoyu was actually Zhu Jinghong's trick to hide the fact that he would summon Daiyu later.
Otherwise, if he directly summons the female family members, it will not sound good if the news spreads.
"Hurry up and go in!" Jia Zheng turned around and scolded in a low voice.
When Jia Baoyu was about to leave, Jia Lian on the side also warned in a low voice: "Be careful what you say, otherwise you will suffer!"
After saying "Yeah", Jia Baoyu stood up from the team and walked into the lobby with his head lowered.
Even though he was extremely reluctant, he could only kneel down and worship.
"Jia Baoyu, a common man, comes to see the Thirteenth Master!"
"Raise your head!" Zhu Jinghong said in a deep voice.
The night he returned to Beijing, he met Jia Baoyu. The lights were dim and he couldn't see his face clearly. Today he had to take a closer look at this person.
When Jia Baoyu raised his head, Zhu Jinghong looked carefully for a while and found that this guy was indeed pretty good-looking, just like Qin Zhong.
Of course, he also noticed that Jia Baoyu's expression was abnormal, and then asked: "Why is your face red?"
These words made Jia Lian outside the room extremely nervous, fearing that Jia Baoyu would spill the beans and reveal what had just happened.
"The Thirteenth Master was so powerful in front of his face that he made the common people tremble with fear and their blood boiled... so they blushed!"
It was because of the beating that Zhu Jinghong received, but now he had to compliment him so much, not to mention how uncomfortable Jia Baoyu felt.
"Oh, I see!"
Then, Zhu Jinghong asked again: "Then why...you only blushed on one side?"
Of course he could see that Jia Baoyu must have been beaten, and asking questions now was just an awkward conversation.
"Caomin...caomin...this side of the face caught a cold last night, so it looks like normal!"
It was really difficult for Jia Baoyu to come up with this reason at this time.
"I heard that you don't like studying? In that case... why don't you join the army? After all, your family also comes from a martial arts background!"
"The ordinary people are not diligent, and I'm afraid they are too weak to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy!" Jia Baoyu quickly shied away, he did not want to hang out with a bunch of rough guys.
Zhu Jinghong smiled, but didn't say anything more. He just waved his hand to signal him to go out.
"Call Jia Zhen in!"
