【022】Phoenix Spicy

Amid the hawking of vendors along the street, Jia Chen passed through the bustling crowds and came to the gate of Ningguo Mansion.

Today, Ningguo Mansion is full of joy, with lights and decorations. Even the two stone lions at the door are surrounded by red silk brocade and colorful garlands, which is a bit inappropriate.

Jia Chen sneered in his heart. The Jia Zhen and his son were like these two stone lions, inappropriate, unkind, shameless and shameless.

Lai Da, the chief manager of Ningguo Mansion, was dressed in decent clothes and smiling, standing at the door to greet the distinguished guests.

One by one, the well-dressed officials and nobles entered the Ning Mansion gate under the guidance of Lai Da nodding and bowing.

Behind these distinguished guests, rows of servants and maids were followed, carrying boxes of gifts wrapped in red cloth.

The lean camel is bigger than a horse. Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion is a hereditary third-class title and a powerful general. He is a first-class position. Although he is a free job without real power, he has a high rank.

Moreover, the Jia family had two Dukes, and their ancestors were founding nobles. The "Duke" was the highest-level title that the royal family could obtain, and their status was transcendent.

Behind the Jia family is the founding honorary group represented by the Four Kings, Eight Dukes and Twelve Marquis, which is huge influential and complex.

Although the emperor has been trying to weaken the authority of the founding lineage after he ascended the throne, since the Supreme Emperor is the backer of the founding lineage, the founding lineage is still powerful and has a big tail.

There are also many court officials who are trying to approve and please the founding nobles. Therefore, there are many civil and military ministers who come to send gifts to Jia Zhen today. They are here to attend the hush ceremony on the surface, but in fact they are taking the opportunity to bribe Jia Zhen.

When Jia Chen walked to the gate of Ningguo Mansion, Lai Dawei gave him a smile:

"Welcome to our mansion."

Although he had a smile on the corner of his lips, a faint disgust and hostility flashed in his eyes.

He didn't hit the smiley man. Although he was not convinced by his respectful appearance, he was just a dog slave. Jia Chen was too lazy to see him as much as he did. He didn't even look at him again, and then he walked across the threshold and entered Ning Mansion with his head held high.

When Jia Chen's figure disappeared from a distance, Lai Da snorted softly in his nose and grumbled in a low voice:

"Just a distant poor relative, why are you so arrogant? I'll have you later!"

In fact, according to Jia Zhen's instructions, Lai Da had secretly hired eight assassins and lie in ambush in Ning Mansion. He just waited for Jia Chen to leave the order and then took action to deal with him.

The reason why eight assassins were hired to deal with a nine-year-old child was actually to prevent Jia Chen from slipping away. An assassin was ambushed in all directions of Ning Mansion, hoping to catch a turtle in a jar.

Neither Jia Zhen nor Lai Da took Jia Chen seriously. Therefore, although Lai Da saw Jia Chen holding a long sword in his hand, he did not stop him from bringing the sword into the mansion. In Lai Da's opinion, Jia Chen was just a playful person and would carry a sword with him. This sword was just a toy for him.

It's no wonder that Lai Da was careless. He didn't have the eyesight of General Feng Tang, the Shenwu General, and could tell at a glance that the sword weighed more than 20 pounds.

Jia Chen hung his long sword with his waist, walked up high, and walked towards the scene of the hush ceremony.

The guests around him did not recognize him, and those who knew how to do martial arts just glanced at him indifferently and then withdrew their gaze.

Like Lai Da, they didn't know how heavy this sword was.

However, people who know martial arts are secretly shocked.

Most of them do not have Feng Tang's eyesight and cannot see the specific weight of the long sword, but it can also be seen that the weight of this sword is not light.

A child of eight or nine years old can actually lift a long sword with one hand, which is too powerful!

They thought that at this age, even if they lifted the sword with both hands, they might not be able to do it.

Among their nephews, there is no child with such great strength.

They all guessed whose junior this family was so outstanding, and they were definitely the star of the future.

But they almost guessed that the Wuxun family in Shenjing City, and none of them guessed that Jia Chen was a descendant of the Jia family.

Because the descendants of the Jia family are all famous playboys, they only know how to fly eagles and dogs, asking flowers and looking for willows.

Who is willing to endure hardships and practice martial arts?

One of the guests couldn't help but stop Jia Chen and asked:

"Dare you ask whose son this little brother is?"

Jia Chen told the truth: "Jia Chen is the descendant of Rongguo Mansion."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar around us.

No one expected that this child with amazing strength would be a junior of the Jia family.

Everyone sighed: It seems that the general Huzi is not a false statement. The two Dukes Ning Rong are famous generals from martial arts. Although most of the younger generations are unworthy, there will still be one or two good martial arts seedlings appearing sporadically.

The Jia family has successors!

The guests' impression of the Jia family has changed because Jia Chen is alone.

Jia Chen didn't care about the opinions of the people around him, and continued to move forward.

Ningguo Mansion went from the main gate, the ritual gate, the hall, the archway, the inner hall, the three inner gates, the inner gate, the archway gate, and the main gate was opened, and there was a vermilion red candle under the steps on both sides, and the candlelight swayed, endlessly, like two golden dragons.

There are strings of red lanterns hanging on both sides of each door.

A green plaque filled with dragons was hung in front of the five main halls, which reads the four words "Be careful of the end and chase the distance".

A couplet next to it said:

After the descendants of the children and grandchildren have inherited their blessings, and the people still remember their glory.

All doors and windows have the letter "Big Red" on them.

In the main hall, there are magnificent incense and candles, brocade embroidered bamboo, and there are more than a dozen Eight Immortals tables, and there is a circle of Taishi Chairs around each table.

Twenty or thirty maids were placing fruits, snacks, teapots, teacups and other items on the table.

While a graceful young woman was walking around, her mouth was yelling like fried beans:

"You are all careful, the melon and fruit color plates are ready, and the pumpkin seeds and nuts are all filled, so that guests will enjoy.

Also, the rice wine must be warmed up all the time, and the light tea for rinsing your mouth and the mung bean noodles for rinsing your hands must be prepared.

If anyone makes a mistake, take care of your skin!"

The young woman was wearing a golden butterfly with a large red satin coat, a colorful silk-carved blue silver mouse jacket on the outside, and a jade-scattered flower-spreaded crepe skirt on the bottom. She had a pair of phoenix triangular eyes, two bent willow leaves hanging eyebrows. She was slender and had a coquettish body, and her pink face was not exposed.

It is Wang Xifeng, the eldest son of the Rongfu Grand House, Wang Xifeng.

Seeing that Jia Chen saw that she was sharp-tongued and was determined to command, she was indeed capable and fierce, and she deserved the name of "Feng Lazi".

It seems that Jia Zhen borrowed Wang Xifeng to help prepare the tribute.

As if he noticed Jia Chen's gaze, Wang Xifeng looked at this side.

"Oh! Isn't this the child of Jia Laoliu's family? Are you here to attend the silence ceremony?" Wang Xifeng smiled contemptuously. Jia Chen's cheap father died of illness. This is not a glorious thing, but a joke after dinner.

Jia Chen replied in a humble and arrogant manner: "I have met Sister-in-law Lian! It was Brother Zhen who kindly invited me to come."

Wang Xifeng picked up a plate of peanut crisps and handed them to Jia Chen, sneering:

"Why did Brother Zhen invite you? I'm here to eat and drink again? I'll take this plate of peanut crisps out to eat."

Before Jia Chen could respond, a familiar female voice came:

"Feng Lazi, who do you want to drive out?"

Jia Chen looked in the voice and saw that the person coming was Jia Jun's mother, Lou.
