[014] Jia Zhen

At this time, a servant trudged his waist and trotted in, saying:

"Qi reported to the second master, Mr. Zhen from the East Mansion sent someone to send an invitation, saying that he would marry Mr. Rong on the eighth day of next month, and invite the masters of our Rong Mansion to go to the East Mansion to attend the hush ceremony, and Gaolegole."

The wedding ceremony in Dazhou is called "Dunting Ceremony". The formal rituals include: wedding reception in a sedan chair, chapel, banquet, wedding banquet, wedding chamber, mingling and hair tie, and bridal chamber, etc.

Since Ningguo Mansion is on the east side of Ningrong Street, it is also called Dongfu.

Jia Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and the wife Jia Rong was going to marry should be Qin Keqing.

Seeing that this beautiful and beautiful beauty was about to fall into the claws of Jia Zhen and his son, Jia Chen felt a little reluctant.

In the original work, Jia Rong and Qin Keqing failed to have a man or a woman after getting married, and Jia Rong's infertility was exposed

As a result, Qin Keqing could not bear the torture of shame and annoyance, and committed suicide by hanging himself on Tianxiang Tower.

It is said that all unworthy are all honored, and it is really peaceful to start with a quarrel.

As soon as Qin Keqing died, the four kings and eight dukes rose up and came to attend the funeral, and the appearance of King Beijing seemed even more unusual.

King Beijing is a real power prince and needs to be on duty to attend court.

Logically speaking, with his status, the death of Qin Keqing, a daughter-in-law of the Jia family, could not alarm him.

The king's title should not attend other people's funerals at will according to the law.

The participation of King Beijing in Qin Keqing's funeral was an act of violation of imperial power, etiquette and law.

What's more, King Beijing gave Jia Baoyu a string of rosary beads, which exposed his disrespectfulness and extremely sinister intentions.

The rosary beads of scented beads were not belonged to King Beijing, but were given to him by the emperor, and were extremely precious.

The squid represents brothers and sisters. The emperor gave the rosary of the squid beads to King Beijing. He lowered his posture and wanted to win over the squid king of Beijing, and wanted his brothers and friends to take charge of the world. This shows that the power of King Beijing was so powerful that the emperor was deeply afraid of it.

However, King Beijing attended Qin Keqing's funeral regardless of the emperor's feelings and gave the "brotherly love" he gave to Jia Baoyu, which turned out to be a heartfelt expression of his heart with the Jia family and his deep brotherly love.

This was like slapping the emperor in the face, making his hot face press on King Beijing's cold butt.

Moreover, although King Beijing and the Jia family belonged to the four kings and eight kings, they were not gangs.

However, King Beijing gave the rosary of the rosary to Jia Baoyu. The two sides reminisce about each other with brothers, and the relationship went further. The emperor would inevitably think that the Jia family and King Beijing were formed as friends.

The power of King Beijing was originally afraid of the emperor. This time, King Beijing and the Jia family were comparable to forming a clique for personal gain.

In addition to other founding nobles attached to the tail of the horse, the founding lineage was completely combined into a rope, enough to threaten the imperial power.

How can you allow others to sleep soundly when you lie beside the bed?

Faced with such a huge group of government forces, the emperor was naturally worried and would inevitably capture all the four kings, eight kings, twelve marquis, including the Jia family, and uproot them.

Fortunately, according to the plot of the original work, Qin Keqing did not fall into Jia Zhen's claws immediately after marrying Jia Rong, but was succeeded by Jia Zhen after several years of widowhood.

Therefore, there is still enough time for Jia Chen to plan and design and save Qin Keqing.

Jia Zheng opened the invitation and looked at it, and ordered the servant:

"If you reply to me, you will say that our Rong Mansion must prepare a gift and come to the door to congratulate you."

"Yes!" The servant responded and took the order and left.

When the servant disappeared outside the door, a gust of spring breeze swayed the wind chimes under the eaves of the corridor, and the shaking bamboo shadows reflected into the screen window. The room was covered with dark and green, and a few mats were cool.

The swaying bamboo shadows swayed on Lin Daiyu's body, making her delicate figure look even more graceful.

Jia Chen couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Feeling Jia Chen's lingering gaze, Lin Daiyu lowered her eyebrows and flew her cheeks, and she didn't dare to look at Jia Chen's eyes. She only held a teacup to cover her cherry lips and also covered the shy smile that raised slightly on the corners of her lips.

At this time, Jia Zheng picked up the teacup, looked at Jia Dairu and Jia Chen, and smiled and said, "Please use tea." After that, he took a sip.

Jia Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and he could see that Jia Zheng was trying to see him off.

Sending tea to see guests was a custom in ancient times.

When the guests met, the servant offered tea. When the host thought the matter was over, he picked up the tea cup and treated the guests with tea.

The visitor's lips clinked the tea in the cup, and the servant shouted, "Send the guest!", and the host stood up to see him off, and the guest also said goodbye.

But the servants of the Jia family would not easily call "sending off guests". After all, this is a bit rude. The main thing is that the guests need to be tactful. After seeing the master of the Jia family serve tea, he voluntarily said goodbye.

Seeing this, Jia Dairu immediately bowed:

"Master Zheng, I have been bothering you for a long time, so Chen'er and I will say goodbye first!"

Jia Zheng put down the teacup and said with a smile:

"Okay, please don't worry, Grandpa and Chen'er. I will report to the old lady as soon as possible, pay money from the Duke of Rongfu, and engrave and sell the "Rules of Disciples."

"Thank you, my second uncle Yucheng for this matter!" Jia Chen bowed and bowed, and with Lin Daiyu's eyes, he left Rongxi Hall with Jia Dairu.

He casually pushed away a ball of willow catkins flying in his face, and Jia Chen raised his lips slightly. This trip was a complete success. Just wait and count the money!

However, at noon the next day, Jia Zheng sent a servant to the Jia Mansion Academy and told Jia Dairu and Jia Chen that the old lady of the Rong Mansion was unwilling to pay the money alone. If she wanted to engrave and sell the "Rules for Disciples", she had to ask Ningguo Mansion to pay the money together.

Jia Zheng has now invited Jia Zhen to Rongxi Hall and wants to invite Jia Dairu and Jia Chen to discuss the matter.

Jia Chen's heart sank, but he didn't expect that Jia Mu would put forward such conditions.

This should be because the Rong Mansion’s pocket is empty and I can’t afford much money, so I asked Ning Guo Mansion to contribute to the investment.

Of course, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the Jia family’s uncle is not rich, he should be able to take out thousands of taels of silver.

Jia Mu did this to share the risks. After all, it costs a lot of money to engrave this book "The Rules of Disciples" on a large scale, and it is still unknown whether it can be sold.

Now that things have come to this point, I can only meet Jia Zhen.

Although Jia Zhen is the head of the Jia family and a powerful general with a third-rank title, she lives a luxurious life and is debaucherous and shameless.

In the original work, although he had many wives and concubines, he was still greedy and forced his daughter-in-law Qin Keqing to play with his wife and sister You Erjie and You Sanjie.

It is much more difficult to deal with this sloppy and shameless villain than to deal with the stupid Jia Zheng.

After thinking about the countermeasures, Jia Chen spread out three pieces of snow-wave paper, took the pen and wrote and painted it on it, and put it in a text bag. Then, with Jia Dairu, and under the guidance of the servant, he rushed to Rongxi Hall.

In the courtyard, two cranes pick their feathers under the pine trees.

Accompanied by a few crane sounds, a man's conversation came from Rongxi Hall.

Jia Chen walked into Rongxi Hall and saw a middle-aged man in his forties sitting opposite Jia Zheng.

This person already has a lot of crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, but he looks elegant and handsome, with long beards on his chin, and looks a bit majestic, but his eye sockets are dark, his cheekbones are flushed, his expression is tired, and there are a few beads of sweat on the tip of his nose. It seems that excessive indulgence has caused both yin and yang deficiency.

Without Jia Zheng's introduction, Jia Chen could guess that this person is the extremely licentious Jia Zhen.

Resisting the disgust in his heart, Jia Chen bowed and said, "Chen'er has met his second uncle and elder brother Zhen."

Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen said "free from courtesy" and greeted Jia Dairu.

After a few polite words, Jia Zheng smiled and said:

"The great master of Xueli, Chen'er, please sit down quickly. Brother Zhen is very interested in the seal and selling of "The Rules of Disciples". I would like to invite the two of you to come and discuss this matter."
