"It's past Shenshi now, let's hurry up and get to Rongguo Mansion early so that I can pay homage to my ancestors first!"
After Xiangyun gave instructions to the mother-in-law outside, the little girl on the side couldn't help but asked: "Girl, with the help of the two ladies, there is no suspense for you to enter the palace, why do you need to make a special trip to see Miss Xue!"
"What do you know...aren't the two ladies more thoughtful than you!" Xiangyun looked like he hated the iron.
Yes, this was unprecedented. For the first time, his two aunts agreed to let her go to Jia's house just to talk to Xue Baochai.
Seeing that the two girls were still confused, Xiangyun explained: "This sister of the Xue family is highly appreciated by the Queen. The ladies must be thinking... If she takes care of me in the future, it will be easier for me in the palace." !”
Although she didn't agree with the arrangement of the two aunts, Xiangyun understood that the two elders had no bad intentions and that they really had her future in mind.
Xiangyun continued on her way, but she didn't know that someone was still thinking about her.
At this moment, Zhu Jinghong was very surprised. As expected, there were many beautiful women on the ground in the capital, and any one he met would have an appearance that would overwhelm the country and the city.
What makes Zhu Jinghong deeply regretful is that these beauties are all confined to the boudoir. Normally, except for their father, brother and family, they are basically impossible to see by outsiders.
When Zhu Jinghong was thinking wildly, Deng An's report from outside was right.
There is no doubt that martial law has been imposed inside and outside the palace. There is no stray person within a hundred meters, which can guarantee absolute safety.
After getting out of the sedan chair and seeing the imposing gate in front of him, Zhu Jinghong smiled with great satisfaction.
However, the next moment, his smile gradually disappeared because he looked up and saw the plaque on the door.
"Prince Xiang's Mansion...Why is it Prince Xiang's Mansion?"
Everyone was extremely surprised when they heard this. What else could it be if it wasn't Prince Xiang's Mansion?
Zhu Jinghong was named King Xiang. This matter is still going through the procedures of the Ministry of Rites, but the news has spread in a small area.
It's just that Zhu Jinghong never asked and didn't care about the matter, so no one revealed it to him secretly, but everyone felt that he already knew.
"Thirteenth Master, this is Prince Xiang's Mansion... We went to the right place!" Lu Yuxin explained bravely.
"You...well, I mean, how can I be named King Xiang!"
This statement surprised everyone even more. Why can't you be named King Xiang?
At this time, Zhang Lin explained: "Thirteenth Master, according to the system established by the ancestors, all the emperor's legitimate sons are granted the title of prince. You are right to be granted the title of Prince Xiang!"
Seeing that these two people were not on the same channel as him, Zhu Jinghong simply stopped talking. At this moment, he had no intention of visiting the mansion.
"Master Thirteen, please?"
The renovation of Prince Xiang's Mansion has been basically completed, and the layout is similar to that of Prince Rui's Mansion. In the end, there is not much to see.
But now that he was here, Zhu Jinghong couldn't come in vain, so he pinched his nose and entered the mansion to visit.
After a brief walk around, Zhu Jinghong left the house, got on the sedan chair and ordered him to return to the palace immediately.
He planned to see the emperor and discuss with him the matter of becoming king.
How could he, the dignified Thirteenth Master, be granted the title of Prince Xiang? People in future generations would not laugh at him even if they knew it, he was just like a condiment.
Of course, there was another key reason why he was so resistant to King Xiang.
King Xiang intends that goddesses and goddesses are ruthless... If this old saying is true, wouldn't it mean that there are so many beauties and goddesses in the Red Mansion who have no fate or destiny?
When Zhu Jinghong returned to the palace, Jia Lian, who was drinking wine in the brothel, received a report from the servant.
After taking Baochai back to his home today, Jia Lian invited Xue Pan to come to his favorite brothel for a drink.
Xue Pan is really ridiculous. His sister finally asked for leave and went home, but he didn't go back to talk to the family.
Of course, Xue Pan had legitimate reasons for going out. Whenever Aunt Xue asked, he would use the errand assigned by Zhu Jinghong as an excuse.
Jia Lian was no exception, so he deceived Wang Xifeng into practicing martial arts on the pretext that martial arts had been restarted in the clan.
"Second Master, something happened again in the house?"
Hearing that something happened to the Jia family, Xue Pan, who was sleeping heavily with the woman in his arms, suddenly came to life and wanted to hear the gossip of the Jia family.
"What's the matter?" Jia Lian asked casually. He didn't think anything big would happen at home.
"I heard from the girls in the house that Second Master Bao..."
When he heard that it was about Baoyu, Jia Lian suddenly lost his temper and asked, "What happened to him?"
The boy replied hesitantly: "Second Master Bao... broke into the inner house and scolded... Miss Xue!"
Upon hearing this, Jia Lian was so frightened that he stood up immediately and woke up from drunkenness.
Feeling the cold air emanating from his back, Jia Lian asked coldly: "What's going on? This bastard...how dare he be so presumptuous!"
In Jia Lian's view, Baoyu is simply a madman, and now he is getting more and more crazy.
"Brother Xue... this bastard, I have to go back and teach him a lesson. Say goodbye!"
Seeing that Jia Lian was about to leave, Xue Pan hurriedly stopped him and said: "Brother Bao is still young. He is just quarreling with Bao Yatou. He is so childish... Why do you need to get into such a big fight!"
Obviously, Xue Pan had a very good impression of the delicate and handsome Baoyu, so he lightly revealed the matter at this moment.
Nothing happened to his own brother, but his cousin Jia Lian was so anxious that it seemed strange no matter how he looked at it.
Does Jia Lian have thoughts about Baochai?
As both men, Xue Pan thought he knew Jia Lian, but he couldn't help but feel wary at this moment.
Jia Lian never imagined that Xue Pan's brain circuit would be so strange.
"Why are you so childish? I think this idiot just deserves a spanking. See if I don't teach him a lesson when I get back!"
Zhu Jinghong had told him to take good care of Baochai, how could Jia Lian dare to neglect him?
What's more, Jia Baoyu's behavior may bring disaster to the family, and it is very likely to implicate Jia Lian himself. Even for his own sake, he has to teach Baoyu a lesson.
Jia Lian left in a hurry. Xue Pan originally wanted to stay longer, but when he thought of his wronged sister, he had no intention of staying any longer.
The two rode horses back to Rongguo Mansion. Jia Lian rushed outside Baoyu Courtyard angrily, but saw that the door was closed tightly at this moment.
"Open the door..."
Jia Lian scolded him coldly, followed by two young men, and soon Xue Pan also followed.
Seeing that Jia Lian was really angry, Xue Pan couldn't help but stepped forward to persuade him: "I'm telling you, second brother Lian, it's just a child's grudge, it's no big deal..."
Obviously Xue Pan oversimplified things. If he had personally experienced conflict, he would probably roll up his sleeves and hit someone at this moment.
"Brother Xue, this is our family matter, please don't interfere..."
Damn it, if this news reaches the palace, the Thirteenth Master will blame himself for not peeling off his skin?
Thinking of this, Jia Lian became even more angry and his fingers clenched into fists.
"Brother Lian, but this..."
Just as Xue Pan was about to speak, the door to the small courtyard was opened, but it was Xi Ren who opened the door himself.
"Second Master Lian..."
Glancing at the attacker, Jia Lian asked sharply: "Where is Baoyu? Tell him to get out of here!"
In fact, Jia Baoyu, who heard the noise, was sitting next to the window, observing the situation outside through the gap.
"Our second master...he's not here!"
Xiren wanted to help Baoyu hide it, but she still missed it, and Jia Lian saw the clues.
Even a slave dared to deceive him, which made Jia Lian so angry that he kicked the attacker.
The attacker didn't have time to hide. After being kicked, he let out a scream, then fell to the ground and wailed with his belly in his arms.
Seeing this situation, the other girls in the courtyard were so frightened that they all stood there in silence, not daring to vent their anger.
Seeing the attacker being beaten, Jia Baoyu felt very distressed, but he still didn't have the courage to go out.
However, Jia Lian didn't wait for him and went straight into the house to look for him, but Jia Baoyu couldn't avoid it.
Since you can't hide, you might as well admit your mistake.
Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu simply showed up, lowered his head and called "Second Brother".
"Did you bump into your precious sister today?"
"She was talking nonsense and slandering Sister Lin, so I..."
The matter has been determined, Jia Lian doesn't care about the specific situation, and immediately scolded: "How many times have I told you to respect Sister Xue, have you ever taken it to heart?"
"Now the family rules are strictly enforced in the house. Today you went to the back house again. Do you take the family rules to heart?"
Hearing Jia Lian's question, Baoyu had no way of answering and could only stand and listen to the instruction.
"A bastard like you who is so arrogant and disrespectful, who exceeds the lewdness code and behaves wantonly, do you want to harm our whole family?"
Jia Baoyu didn't dare to refute at this moment, so he could only keep apologizing and promised that he would never do it again.
I saw Jia Lian slowly rolling up his sleeves, and Jia Lian said coldly and ruthlessly: "Today, I will take the place of my second uncle and teach you what rules and decency are!"
When Jia Baoyu was stunned, Jia Lian's slap had already hit Jia Baoyu's face, and then the second slap came and hit the other half of Jia Baoyu's face.
