Jia Zheng was anxious to see Jia Lian, naturally because he knew that Jia Lian led his troops to arrest a number of clan members.

Jia Zheng is a pure scholar, with his own nobility and integrity, and is not a flatterer. However, as a young man who grew up in the Duke's mansion, his awe for the imperial power and the royal family has been accumulated throughout his life.

This is a very easy thing to understand. For the Duke's government, the only thing that can pose a fatal threat to it is the word "emperor".

Therefore, when he knew that Jia Lian had violated the rules and arrested a group of clan children, especially among those clan children, there were even several princes' sons, he was almost shocked. After finding out that Jia Lian had returned home, he quickly sent someone to tell him.

Jia Lian could understand Jia Zheng's timidity, so he patiently explained the situation at that time, saying that he had to do it.

After hearing this, Jia Zheng sighed: "Despite this, when the sect blocked the street and asked for someone, you should give it to them. We, the Xunmen, have been under the control of the sect for the rest of our lives, and you have offended them this time. I'm just afraid of causing trouble to my Jia family."

Jia Zheng's words came from his heart, but he also knew that Jia Lian had more upright ideas than him now, and was afraid that Jia Lian would not listen to his advice, so his tone was very calm, as if father and son were discussing and considering the future of the family.

Jia Zheng was so afraid of the clan government, but Jia Lian didn't think so.

Not to mention that the Zongren Mansion is an institution that works for the emperor. As long as he does not lose trust in front of the emperor, the Zongren Mansion will not dare to trouble him! It is still unclear what the future layout of the Zongren Mansion will be.

According to Jia Lian's judgment, since Princess Zhaoyang chose the clan mansion as her first stop to enter the center of power, she would not quit easily.

Although Jia Lian did not simply think that Princess Zhaoyang could completely defeat King Zhongshun as soon as she entered the clan mansion, but with her status as the eldest princess of Zhaoyang, the Queen Mother behind her, and her own secret financial support. At least it was not easy for King Zhongshun to squeeze Princess Zhaoyang out.

As long as Princess Zhaoyang is in the Zongren Mansion for a day, even if King Zhongshun wants to give Jia Mansion some shoes, it will not be that simple.

Therefore, Jia Lian was not afraid of the Zongren Mansion from the bottom of his heart, let alone King Zhongshun. If possible, he even wanted to take control of the clan's mansion in his own hands...

Jia Lian would not elaborate on these words with Jia Zheng. In order to reassure him and prevent him from being verbose, Jia Lian directly said: "Second uncle, does he know where I used my lunch?"

Jia Zheng didn't know why Jia Lian suddenly said this. He thought he was either in the back office of the Military Horse Division or in the kitchen of Shenji Camp, or eating in a restaurant outside, but how did this relate to what they were talking about?

"Where did you have lunch?"

"Da Ming Palace, side hall of Yangxin Hall, imperial dining room."

Jia Lian looked at Jia Zheng and said sternly: "Does my second uncle understand what I say? What my nephew did today was completely loyal to the emperor. Therefore, His Majesty's Sacred Heart approved and gave the meal to my nephew. Therefore, the second uncle will Don’t worry about me anymore, my second uncle would have made the same choice in my nephew’s position at that time.”

Jia Zheng was speechless and could only look at Jia Lian with complicated eyes mixed with envy.

The emperor's gift of food is definitely a sign of love and trust. Thinking that Jia Zheng had been an official for more than ten years, except for being able to sit in the square every year when Emperor Ningkang hosted a banquet for hundreds of officials, he had never had royal meals in the Daming Palace?

Or the Hall of Nourishing Heart, he naturally knew that it was the place where the emperor rested and recuperated daily. Unless he was someone he was very close to and trusted, how could the emperor let him go to such a forbidden place?

Although he was extremely envious, Jia Zheng still tried to tell himself. As a civil servant, you should focus on your integrity and character. As long as you are dedicated to serving the public, you don't need to worry about the sacred volume.



Rongqing Hall, a rare visitor came today.

Grandma Liu from the countryside came to visit Sister Feng with her grandson Ban'er and a large cart of fresh fruits and vegetables to express Sister Feng's assistance to their family that winter.

Originally, this was just a small matter. Even the reason why Sister Feng helped Grandma Liu and gave her twenty or thirty taels of silver was not out of kindness, but just to save face for a distant relative.

Speaking of distant relatives, we have to talk about the underlying reasons. It turns out that Grandma Liu is not a distant relative of the Jia family, or even a relative of the Wang family.

It was just because she had a daughter who married a son-in-law named Gou'er. That Wang Gou'er had been a minor official in his ancestors, and happened to get acquainted with the Jinling royal family who was outside. Since both families were named Wang, Wang Gouer's ancestors were interested in getting married, so they recognized him as a relative.

Later, the Wang family moved back to Beijing and prospered, but Wang Gouer's family soon fell into decline and became a commoner, and the two families stopped contacting each other.

Grandma Liu had no children, only one daughter. After her wife died, her daughter and son-in-law took her to take care of her.

Because my family was so poor that winter that I couldn't open the pot, I thought of this relative. Wang Gou'er couldn't help but beg for mercy from a high-ranking family. It happened that his mother-in-law, Grandma Liu, had also met Mrs. Wang, who was the second daughter of the Wang family, so she encouraged Grandma Liu to bring her grandson to pay homage to Mrs. Wang.

As for why they came to ask for Mrs. Wang instead of the Wang family, it was because they knew that the Wang family was away on patrol at that time and was not in the capital.

As for Mrs. Wang, as soon as she heard that such a poor relative whom she had not contacted for many years came to visit, she vaguely guessed the purpose, so she was too lazy to see him and left it to Sister Feng to deal with it.

Firstly, Sister Feng didn't know the details of the two families, and secondly, in order to show her wealth, she invited Grandma Liu and her grandson to have a meal, gave them some money, and sent them back.

I originally thought that this matter would just go away, but who knew that Grandma Liu was a person who understood "courtesy and reciprocity". Perhaps her family had a good harvest this year, so she specially picked the first crop of fresh fruits and brought them to Beijing on a donkey cart to pay tribute.

Unexpectedly, Jia Mu has been feeling a little sad in recent days because of the incident involving her old sisters.

In the end, Grandma Lai did not choose to go to her second son's home for retirement, but chose to follow her eldest son to the north.

He did this not because he disliked his second son, but because of his precious grandson!

There was no other way. For the sake of his own fame, Lai Shangrong was very reluctant to follow his father northward. He wanted to stay at his second uncle's house with his grandmother, so that he could continue to take the scientific examination next year.

However, after experiencing this lesson, Mammy Lai, Lai Da and others understood that since Jia Lian specifically ordered Lai Shangrong to accompany his parents north to fulfill their filial piety, if they dared to disobey, it would be tantamount to angering Jia Lian again.

For the first time, Jia Lian was kind to Jia Mu because of her kindness. If they don't know what to do and continue to stay in front of them and become an eyesore, I'm afraid that Second Master Lian will deal with them again, but it will only be a matter of time.

The Lai family is even worried that if Lai Shangrong is not taken away, let alone his career prospects, he may not be able to keep his fame!

This is very possible. As long as Jia Lian is interested, he only needs to write a letter to his son's tutor or academic official to announce that the Lai family embezzled huge amounts of property from the Mo family, then these people will respond to Jia Lian's sentiments and cut off the money even for the sake of their own reputation. Lai Shangrong has a reputation as a scholar.

If that's the case, then it's really over. Therefore, in order to save Lai Shangrong from taking chances, Grandma Lai simply gave up her old bones and followed Lai Da to the north.

Although it was the Lai family who had failed the master's family first, Jia's mother still felt a little uncomfortable about letting her old sisters suffer in the northern cold land.

When she heard that a relative of the Wang family came to visit, and he was also an old man in his seventies, Mother Jia suddenly became interested and ordered him to meet her.

When they saw each other, their eyes met.

It turns out that although Grandma Liu was born and raised in the country, she has always had some knowledge and is not a stupid and short-sighted person.

Knowing the dignity of Jia Mu, he was determined to please her. Because it was completely different from the usual flattering words and speaking methods of ladies and daughters-in-law in other mansions, Jia Mu often laughed heartily.

Seeing that Grandma Liu was able to please Mother Jia, everyone in the Jia family also changed their feelings about Grandma Liu and laughed at each other. Therefore, Rongqing Hall was filled with laughter throughout the afternoon.

Even when it was time for the banquet, Jia Mu ordered a table to be set alone with Grandma Liu and her grandson.

It can also be seen from this point that the Jia family still despises Grandma Liu for being vulgar. Because usually Jia Mu and her granddaughters dine together, but today they specially changed the small table.

Jia Mu has one seat, Yingchun and others have one seat, and Grandma Liu and Baner have one seat.

But Grandma Liu didn't know that this was special care for her, or she wouldn't care if she knew it. She secretly swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva as she saw the various dishes she had never seen before being gradually placed on the table.

He opened his grandson's unruly paws, bowed and smiled at Jia Mu who was standing above him, and waited for Jia Mu's order to eat.

Suddenly I heard the maid outside announcing: "Second Master Lian has arrived."

With just one word, the hall immediately became silent. Everyone looked towards the door of the room. Even the gentlemen and young ladies who were already seated stood up and bowed to greet him.

Grandma Liu wondered what kind of person this was, and why he made these noble people so awe-inspiring!

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but pull my grandson beside me to stand up and get out of the stool to greet him.

When Jia Lian came out of Jia Zheng's study, it was already dark. I remembered that Jia Mu's place might be a little lively today, so I came over to take a look.

As soon as he entered Jia Mu's dining room, Jia Lian's eyes subconsciously glanced at Grandma Liu's grandparents and grandchildren, who were very different from other people in the room in terms of dress and appearance, and then stepped forward to say hello to Jia Mu.

Jia Mu said: "I won't come early or late, but I will come at dinner time. I can tell you, I have nothing prepared for you today."

"What the ancestor said, my grandson didn't come here to eat. I thought that if Feng girl didn't come home for a long time, she must have been detained by the ancestor, so I said that after paying respect to the ancestor, I would take her back to have a meal.

This bitch is getting more and more stupid. She doesn't even know to go home when it's time to eat. "

As Jia Lian spoke, he specifically raised his eyebrows at Sister Feng who was standing next to Jia's mother, making others secretly happy. Everyone knows that Second Master Lian and Second Grandma Lian may have to sing double yellow again to please Mother Jia.

Unexpectedly, Sister Feng just rolled her eyes at Jia Lian and did not say anything to agree or refute.

Others were disappointed. On the other hand, Grandma Liu next to her looked at Jia Lian more and more at this time, thinking that it was Sister Feng's man. Wei Daosheng's physique and appearance made him look like a naturally noble person!

Perhaps it was Jia Lian's words that reminded Jia Mu. Jia Mu looked around behind her and said to Mrs. Wang, "I don't need you to serve me here anymore. You all should go back to eat."

"yes."

Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and Li Wan bowed, and Jia Lian was about to greet his "silly daughter-in-law" to leave, but Jia Mu said: "If you are willing, just sit down and have a meal with your sisters. If you are not happy, just don't come." Sometimes they say I’m biased.”

Jia Mu's food standard is the highest in the entire Jia family. Jia Zheng and others showed their filial piety by weaving a large basket of dishes from all over the world and letting Jia Mu take turns ordering them every day. When Jia Mu was too lazy to order, Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng would do it for her.

Anyway, the two main meals at lunch and dinner will not be less than ten dishes.

This is one reason why, in the Rongguo Mansion, the masters are proud to be given rice by Jia Mu, and the slaves are proud to be given leftovers by Jia Mu.

Although Jia Lian was not like that, he was really in no hurry to leave, so he responded to Jia Mu and turned around to sit down.

He also asked Sister Feng to sit down too.

Sister Feng didn't appreciate it. She thought Jia Lian was really kind-hearted and asked her to go home for dinner, but she turned around and sat down.

He snorted and wanted to leave in anger.

Jia Mu said, "Girl Feng, please sit down too."

It didn't matter whether Sister Feng left immediately or not. After all, she reacted quickly. She thanked Jia Mu with a smile, turned around and sat next to Yingchun, far away from Jia Lian.

Only then did Jia Mu think of Grandma Liu and introduced her to Jia Lian. Facing the greetings from the humble and restrained Grandma Liu, Jia Lian just sat on the table and nodded, telling her not to be polite.

In this era, if people with too different identities and statuses are polite, they will appear hypocritical.

However, after eating, Jia Lian still couldn't help but glance at Ban'er next to Grandma Liu.

I saw that this kid was thin and had a dark complexion. His appearance and facial features were not ugly at first, but he was considered average, but the way he showed his teeth and claws while devouring food was very eye-catching, and even Jia Lian frowned at it.

Sure enough, he is still a commoner.

How could such a silly boy be worthy of his smart, well-behaved and beautiful baby girl!

Don't leave any chance to this kid.

After dinner, Sister Feng was ordered to arrange a residence for Grandma Liu's grandparents and grandchildren, while Jia Lian sent Yingchun and others back to the Grand View Garden.

Along the way, Yingchun and others were still discussing Grandma Liu, saying how funny and interesting she was.

While listening, Jia Lian approached Daiyu and talked to her.

Daiyu asked: "Are you free tomorrow?"

"Is something wrong?"

"fine……"

After a while, Daiyu said again: "The old lady is very happy today. She wants to invite everyone to visit the garden tomorrow. Will you come?"

"I didn't want to go originally..."

She turned her head to see Daiyu frowning, and immediately said, "But since it's Sister Lin who invited me, I will naturally come, and I will come when I have time."

Daiyu turned her head and glanced at Jia Lian, her mouth moved. She wanted to say something but ended up blushing. She quickly lowered her head and took two steps forward.

"Brother Lian, don't you have to practice martial arts at this time every day?"

Tan Chun keenly observed that Jia Lian had "annoyed" Daiyu, and because he was about to pass Sister Feng's nursery at that time, Jia Lian had no intention of stopping, so he laughed and rescued her.

"It doesn't matter, it's not too late to see you off."

Tanchun chuckled, "There are so many of us. You give this and that. We go around and come back again. I don't know when it will be. It's still the 'you' that the second brother Lian said. Originally, he only refers to Sister Lin." Alone? If that's the case, my little sister is ignorant."

When Jia Lian heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at Tan Chun. Among the three sisters, this one is the more lively, and she occasionally dares to make fun of him.

Yingchun and others all snickered when they heard this, and Daiyu walked forward quickly, pretending not to hear.

Jia Baoyu also thought what Tanchun said was funny and smiled, but just smiling seemed unnatural, so he turned around and looked at the night.

In the end, Yingchun was considerate and said, "Brother, if you have something to do, go and do it first. There is no need to send us off. We have had dinner and we probably want to get together and talk..."

Jia Lian nodded, glanced at the sisters and maids such as Zijuan in front of him, then turned and entered the hospital.
