The night gradually fell, and a few stars suddenly appeared in the eastern sky. The Jia Mansion was already brightly lit. When the guard came to report, Jia Shutang quickly stood up and walked out the door.
Not far away, I saw ten guards in royal robes approaching in a luxurious carriage. After Su Xiaolou got off the carriage, he helped Ambassador Lei Zhen down as well.
Jia Shutang stepped forward to greet him in a very polite manner: "Jia Shutang, the head of the Ministry of Rites of the Lower Official, has met the envoy of Lei Zhen."
"Master Jia, you don't need to be polite." Lei Zhen Fushi turned sideways and introduced: "This is the son of my old friend and my adopted son Su Xiaolou."
Su Xiaolou also stepped forward very politely, clasped his hands and said, "I pay my respects to Mr. Jia."
Jia Shutang put on a very official smile and said warmly: "My dear nephew, no courtesy."
Then Jia Shutang raised his hand in an inviting gesture and said, "The banquet has been prepared. You two, please come in."
"please!"
The two maids on the left and right each held a silk lamp to lead the way, and they walked all the way to the banquet hall. At the banquet, there were rich dishes and gorgeous decorations. Even the appearance of the maids was beautiful. It must be said that this person named Jia He is a person who enjoys happiness.
After sitting down, Jia Shutang looked at Su Xiaolou and said cheerfully: "Quan Zi is about the same age as you, so you can definitely chat together."
Then he said to the servant: "Come, go and ask the young master to come over!"
"Yes, sir!"
Jia Shutang picked up the wine glass and said to the envoy Lei Zhen: "The first glass of wine is to pay homage to the envoy Lei Zhen. Your visit will make the humble house shine!"
"Mr. Jia, you're welcome! Come on! Cheers!"
Su Xiaolou accidentally saw a middle-aged man standing next to Jia Shutang with a mole at the end of his eyebrow, which further confirmed his suspicion.
After a drink, Jia Zhengjing also came to the main hall.
"This is my useless son, Jia Zhengjing." He turned to his son and said, "Zhengjing, this is the Chief Minister of Lei Zhen from the Jinyiwei Yamen in Nanjing. Come and pay homage to the Chief Minister of Lei Zhen."
Jia Zhengjing hurried over and saluted respectfully: "Junior, I pay my respects to Ambassador Lei Zhen."
"A good nephew doesn't need to be polite."
Jia Shutang then introduced to Jia Zhengjing: "This is Su Xiaolou, the small flag of Jinyiwei, the town government secretary. It's..."
"Is it you?" Before Jia Shutang could finish the introduction, Jia Zhengzheng took over the conversation. He recognized at a glance the person who teased him that day. He searched for several days but couldn't find it. Today, he showed up openly at his home. He always showed up at his house. He was bullying men and dominating women. How could he bear this anger? He suddenly got angry and shouted angrily: "How dare you come to my house? I'm worried that I can't find anyone! Let's see if I don't beat you to death today." After saying that, he rushed up and raised his fist to beat Su Xiaolou. After all, Su Xiaolou was also a little head of the Jinyiwei. His father was still such a powerful figure. He had been exposed to it since he was a child. No matter how playful he was, he was still good at boxing and kicking. He quickly defeated him. Jia Zhengjing stayed.
When Jia Shutang saw his son acting so rude in front of the governor of Lei Town, he inexplicably wanted to beat up the guests he brought. He blamed his son for being too naughty and wanted to stop him, but before he could say anything, the evil boy had already been counterattacked. Useless! He didn't know what to do for a moment.
Jia Zhengzheng failed to hit the person but was restrained. He became angry and said: "Come here! Let me chop him down."
A group of strong guards rushed in with horizontal swords. They all seemed to be skilled in martial arts and their momentum was amazing. This posture made Lei Zhenfu think that Jia Shutang had a Hongmen Banquet waiting for him, so he slapped Hu Tao with his palm. On the wooden table, he pointed at Jia Shutang's nose and cursed: "Jia Shutang, how brave are you to use force in front of the Nanjing town governor?"
Jia Shutang hurriedly begged for mercy: "Lord Lei, you have misunderstood! What a misunderstanding! The dog is shapeless. I hope Lei Zhenfu will calm down his anger." He turned around and angrily scolded the strong man guarding the courtyard: "Quickly retreat!"
Jia Zhengzheng was also frightened. He didn't expect so many people to come in. There were usually not so many people in the mansion. When he realized that Ambassador Lei Zhen was still there, his arrogance instantly disappeared.
After everyone retreated, Jia Shutang said to Su Xiaolou: "My dear nephew, let go!"
Seeing this, Su Xiaolou also let go of Jia Zhengjing.
Jia Shutang glanced at Lei Zhenfu's still angry eyes and said, "Seriously, apologize to Nephew Su Xian quickly."
"Dad, you want me to apologize to him? It's obvious that he teased me first and defrauded me later."
"Hey~ Mr. Jia, you can take the medicine randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. Besides, the medicine is not taken randomly. So the medicine prescribed by the miracle doctor didn't cure the disease? Didn't you give me the money?"
"you……"
"What are you doing? You spit on me and I don't even care about you!"
"Seriously, what on earth is going on?"
Jia Zhengzheng had no choice but to tell everything that happened on the street that day, but he did not say that he had taken medicine for several days after he came back. When he went to see Girl Huarui, he was criticized for having a bad mouth, but Girl Huarui refused. After meeting him, the maid who prepared the medicine discovered that it was mixed with animal feces, and the small medicine bottle he often drank was filled with child urine, causing him to vomit bile.
After hearing this, Jia Shutang felt annoyed in his heart. How could he have given birth to such an idiot? Could it be that his wife gave birth to this child to Lao Wang next door behind his back? He stared at Jia Zhengjing's appearance and carefully studied how much it looked like him. .
Lei Zhenfu came out and acted as a peacemaker: "It's just a play between children. In my opinion, both children are at fault. It's better to let this matter go away like this."
Jia Shutang also had this intention. Originally, his son was unreasonable, but something seemed to be wrong. He was planning to let Huarui and the little bastard from the Su family apologize tonight. He had to endure his anger for a while and then deal with Su Xiaolou later. What? Got involved in this matter.
Now that the matter has come to this, Jia Shutang can only go along with it: "Mr. Lei, you're welcome. It's the dog that's acting up. Seriously, why don't you apologize to Nephew Su Xian?"
"I apologize to him..." Jia Zhengjing was originally very disdainful, but looking at his father's serious face, and then at Lei Zhenfu, he gave a fake smile as if he was resigned to his fate: "Brother, for the sake of brother, I drank two more drinks in one day, and my words and deeds are incoherent, I mean what I say but I don’t mean it. I hope you will forgive me!"
Seeing Jia Zhengjing give in, Su Xiaolou felt very happy: "Brother Jia is serious. That day was just a misunderstanding. I have forgotten about it a long time ago."
The maid then brought two glasses of wine, and each of them took one.
"Come, dear brother, I will use my brother's place from now on. I will stab you in every possible way without any hesitation."
Seeing Jia Zhengzheng's expression, Su Xiaolou was clearly saying that it would be best to sleep with your eyes open in the future, otherwise he would stab you twice at any time.
Su Xiaolou said generously: "Thank you so much, Brother Jia. If there is any need for me in the future, I will also be willing to help Brother Jia."
When Lei Zhenfu saw the two juniors shaking hands and making peace, he laughed loudly: "That's right. If you don't fight, you won't know each other. Now that they are all resolved, they are friends. Young people must keep in touch with each other more often."
"Yes Yes Yes."
"Master Lei, Humble House has prepared piano music to entertain you, please take a seat!"
