In Rongqing Hall, Jia Zheng's face was smeared.
There is an old saying that goes, if you compare yourself to others, you will have to die.
When Jia Qi was talking to the two of them just now, his sense of responsibility and stability made them all admire him. He even agreed with one sentence. It was really ironic to say that the rise and fall of a family rests on a woman.
At this moment, everyone in the room suddenly remembered that the man in front of them, who had a face like a crown jade and an impressive body, was not that big. He seemed to be only about one year older than Baoyu, but compared with the two, he was very embarrassing.
Jia Mu was also wondering if she was too arrogant towards Baoyu. He fought bloody battles on the battlefield and opened up territory for Dakang. He was already regarded as a prince, and now he was famous throughout the government and the public. No one knew about him.
And what about Jia Baoyu? Although he is also famous, he was only born with a jade in his head. With the auspicious sign, he let people in the capital know that he is still white. This comparison is undoubtedly the difference between heaven and earth, and the difference between cloud and mud.
Wang Xifeng was also stunned, because Jia Qi looked a little mature at this time. Although he was fourteen years old, he looked more like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. He forgot about it for a while, if it weren't for the outside world She also forgot about the message.
Jia She sighed in his heart. If Jia Qi was a direct descendant of the two houses, whether it was the West House or the East House, the two houses would definitely prosper again, even exceeding the prosperity of the founding of the country. Instead of being directly re-established by Emperor Mingkang like this, when he thought of this, he was also a little disinterested.
Xichun looked at Jia Qi intently from the side, her eyes were quite moving. She didn't think so much in her heart. The Marquis and Zhu Guo were not as good as the man who told her stories under the peach blossom tree a few years ago. Brother Qi, Xiangyun and Baoyu got close to each other a few years ago during the Spring Festival, and Baoyu was happy to be naughty with them. The little girl is young, so she will naturally have the little idea of comparison. You have that phoenix egg, and so do I, and it’s even better. Yours is good.
It's just that outsiders may not understand this little daughter's thoughts, and maybe even Jia Qi won't find out!
"This evil person has been stubborn all day long. Brother Qi is now an official in the court. He has no time to mess around with them. Go back quickly and let him study. I will check it after a while. If he doesn't study well, ! Watch carefully!"
Jia Zheng's face turned cold and he said angrily through the curtain.
Jia She didn't speak this time, just sat quietly aside. Wang Xifeng didn't dare to interrupt, standing next to Jia's mother, gently tapping her shoulders.
Jia Mu was also a little embarrassed. She touched the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief to cover it up, and then said with a smile: "Not to mention, I have forgotten that Brother Xian is about the same age as Baoyu. This matter depends entirely on Brother Xian." I mean, if you have free time, you might as well come to your house to show off. The brothers and sisters in the house will gather together and be lively, and they will definitely be happy!"
Wang Xifeng, who was on the side, was indeed a little embarrassed when he saw the situation. He also smiled and answered: "What our ancestors said is that before, we only looked at our brother Qi for his extraordinary prowess and magnificent weapons, but we forgot that he had not yet entered the realm of dancing elephants. Nian! He is really a young hero! If the Marquis wants to give some advice to these brothers in the family, my family will be so grateful!"
Xichun also came to Jia Chu's side and pulled Jia Chu's hand. Seeing Xichun like this, Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng showed a trace of envy in their eyes. Jia Chu was different from Xichun. If it were other girls, they would not dare to in this way. Perhaps it is only this kind of relationship that has been formed since childhood that allows this kind of freedom.
Speaking of which, among the two mansions, only Xichun dared to do this.
Jia Qi chuckled, stretched out his hand and rubbed Xichun's little head, "It's okay, I just have something important to do in the afternoon, so I can't stay too long!"
Hearing Jia Qi's answer, Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng couldn't help showing true joy on their faces, and Jia She and Jia Zheng stopped talking.
Then Jia Chu stood up and returned the favor to Jia Mu and Jia Zheng, saying: "This way Master She and Master Zheng don't have to accompany them. If these two masters are here, I'm afraid the brothers and sisters won't be able to let go. It's very difficult." Be cautious, I’ll just ask Sister Xichun to take me there in a moment! Sit down for a while and then leave!”
Jia She and Jia Zheng looked at each other. They were actually quite resistant to the idea of accompanying each other. However, given their identities, Jia Chu was a marquis, not an ordinary person. The two men in charge of the house were not here, so what? look.
Although the two of them didn't want to accompany them, they couldn't say it out loud.
"this......"
"This is rude. Brother Xin has a distinguished status. If word spreads, wouldn't it make people laugh that the two houses don't even understand the rules!"
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
Jia Qi waved his hand, "When the time comes, I'll just say it's my own will, and the two gentlemen can go and do their own business! I wouldn't feel comfortable if you were here!"
Hearing Jia Qi's words, Jia Zheng and Jia She said in unison: "That would be rude!"
Jia Mu also smiled and said to Wang Xifeng next to her: "Brother Feng, please accompany Brother Xin there! You don't have to come over to wait for lunch. You can serve it over there. Just take care of it. If you let Brother Xin If you say anything, you are not here, be careful when you come back and I will spank you, a monkey!"
Hearing Jia Mu's joke, Wang Xifeng's face turned red slightly, but she quickly took over the words, "Ancestor, don't worry! If I ask Brother Qi to find a mistake, I don't need you to say anything. My granddaughter-in-law will accept it." Guilty!
"
"Old lady, let's say goodbye first!"
Jia Qi cupped his hands and said goodbye. Come on, hurry up and catch up!"
The magpie woke up from a dream, quickly opened the curtain and followed.
Seeing this, Jia Mu said to Wang Xifeng again: "By the way, Brother Feng, tell Mama Lai later, just do what I said, take all the magpie's body deeds and send them to Brother Qi, as well as those messy things Everything has been sorted out neatly. Let’s be good people and don’t make mistakes in the end! I’ll leave this matter to you. If something goes wrong, I’ll only look for you!”
Wang Xifeng smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, old lady, I will personally supervise this matter and guarantee that there won't be any mistakes!"
Then he said: "Old lady, I'll go over first! If Brother Qi leaves early, I'll come back to serve you lunch!"
Jia Mu nodded, "Look over there first. It's just a meal here. It's no big deal. By the way, you have to watch carefully for a while. Baoyu's temper is undecided. If he says something stupid, you can help smooth things over." !”
Mother Jia knew what kind of temper her grandson was, and she was also worried that he would bring trouble out of his mouth. It would not be easy for Jia Qi to go and sit there. She must not make any mistakes. If he gets tired of his grandson by then, he will lose his grandson in vain. It would be a shame to have such a big helping hand.
Wang Xifeng understood what Jia Mu meant, nodded quickly, and left.
After walking out of the door, she asked Ping'er who was waiting at the door: "Ping'er, where did they go?"
Ping'er didn't dare to neglect, and said with a smile: "Over there in the west wing! Second Master Bao and several girls were waiting outside the door just now! When Second Master scolded Baoyu, he was so scared that he became what he looked like~ "
Hearing this, Wang Xifeng curled up her lips. She, her precious brother, was not afraid of anyone in the house but her own father. It was really like a mouse that would be scared out of his wits when he saw a cat.
"Come on, let's go over quickly! By the way, tell your men to get some of the good tea we got from you earlier. This is an honored guest, so we must not neglect him!"
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but think of her father-in-law and the second master in Rongqing Hall. Jia She was usually a lawless master, and Jia Zheng was even more serious and cold-eyed, but they were all careful in front of Jia Yu, so that While she was sighing, she was also a little bit sad.
The house has always been rich and powerful, and the four major families are connected by the same spirit. She has never seen these two masters look like this. She knew that Jia Qi had been granted a title of marquis. She had heard the two masters say before that he was a champion marquis, and he was so majestic. , seeing the two gentlemen like this today, something strange arose in her heart. This champion was probably not an ordinary marquis.
Because she, Jia Lian, is not up to par, and she has no official mandate, she does not understand these things very well. If Mrs. Wang were here, she would not have these thoughts. There are thousands of marquises in the world, but there are either no champions in each generation, or There is only one, and he is noble! But Mrs. Wang probably only knew so much, because the Wang family believed that a woman's lack of talent was a virtue. None of the wives of the Wang family had read books, and they didn't understand most of the things in history books.
In this harem, only Mother Jia probably knows how important this prince is, otherwise she would not ask him about Yuanchun. You must know that the concubines in the harem have very prominent backgrounds. The Marquis is just like the Ping Zhen Hou who made meritorious deeds with Jia Qi. He does not have the power. Even if he does it, the effect will be minimal.
In the west wing, Jia Qi and Jia Baoyu are there to welcome the spring, explore the spring, appreciate the spring, and Xiangyun. There is also a kind of maid who listens to orders outside.
When they arrived at the house, the ladies greeted them and greeted them again.
Baoyu, on the other hand, is more familiar with himself. Maybe it’s because Baoyu and the good-looking ones are all familiar with him. “Brother Qi, I saw you yesterday and realized that you are different from the rumors. Just like what Sister Xiangyun said. Like, you are really a famous scholar. I wanted to talk to Brother Qi yesterday, but I was short of time and couldn't spare the time. We have to have a good chat today!"
Jia Qi glanced at Jia Baoyu with a smile. He was very well-born. To paraphrase the words in the original work, that is, "his face is like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, his color is like the flowers of spring dawn, his temples are like knife cuts, his eyebrows are like ink paintings, and his face is like peach petals." ", eyes like eyes", no wonder he is liked by those girls, but he has been surrounded by daughters for a long time, his body is too powdery, his temper is too weak, and in the end he can't even protect the people he likes.
But just like what Daiyu said in the original novel, it is a silver-like pewter spear head, which is pleasing to the eye but useless.
As she was talking, Wang Xifeng walked in. As soon as she entered the door, she quickly greeted the maids to make new tea. Then she came to the back room and said with a smile: "Uncle Qi, there is no good tea in the house, but Qian'er just got it." Some new tea from Wuyi Mountain, I heard from outside that it’s pretty good, so don’t dislike it!”
