On Chinese New Year's Eve, the entire Rongning Second Mansion was busy early in the morning. Today is the day of ancestor worship, the ancestral hall of the Jia family in Ningguo Mansion is wide open, and the Bafang people of the Jia family in Beijing are all gathered together, and they are full of people inside and out.

Lord Pardon looked at such a luxuriant family, and sighed secretly in his heart. Who would have thought that in just over ten years, such a big family that has been famous for decades will be scattered. These people, young and old, don't know where they will fall in the future, and whether they have a place to settle down. Although it is the law of extreme prosperity and decline, Jia Yu hopes that the glory that his ancestors have worked so hard to earn will not decline in his own hands.

This emotion was only for a moment, and Jia Yu immediately cheered up again. He has so much knowledge than others in vain, and he can't keep a Jia family. You know, he's a man of knowledge, but only, power!

There is nothing to say about the process of worshipping ancestors, it is the same every year, a set of processes is down, and when it is time to set up a banquet, Jia Yu will talk next to Jia Jing.

"Big brother has always been good, huh? What scriptures are you reading now, and what good pills are you refining? If there are any interesting things in the view, tell my brother. "In the face of this cousin, the eldest lord's mood is complicated.

The decay of the Rongning Second Mansion also has the bane left by his actions back then, even if he retreated bravely in his official career, he lived in the Taoist temple all day long, but he could not let the Jia family escape the liquidation. But he regretted it in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have grown old like this in just a few years, and would rather stay in the Taoist temple every day, and even go home for his birthday.

Jia Jing glanced at Jia Yu lazily, and said lightly: "I read the Tao Te Ching, practice the Sanqing Dan, practice the poor Tao freely, and I have never seen any interesting things." "There is a glance between the talks, which makes people very little hopeful of talking.

"Oh? Then how did I hear that the eldest brother accidentally refined something next to him when he was alchemizing? I heard that there is a powder-like thing that is mixed with water and then dried, and it is an excellent material for building walls, houses, and embankments. The old man didn't care, but leaned close to his ear and said.

"Huh?" Jia Jingyi frowned, then looked at Jia Yu seriously, and said in a low voice after a while: "What tricks are you going to play, I can't afford to carry the black pot now." Let's talk about it. ”

There was helplessness in his tone, which made Jia Yu feel as if he had returned to more than ten years ago for a while, and his eyes were a little sour. The eldest lord hurriedly restrained himself, and whispered to his cousin: "It's that I have a new good material, but the source is a little difficult to say." That thing happened to be fired, so I had to entrust the eldest brother with the blessing of alchemy. ”

"You have been suffering for so many years, but what is the use of not letting the royal family see it? It's better to think of some ways to redeem one's merits and sins, and pull out those nails, so that even if you practice, you won't feel uneasy. Jia Yu pondered slightly, and then said: "Although the saint doesn't care, but in the end, he is already old, and he will change people to be the masters of the house in the future, if he encounters that stingy ......."

Jia Jing listened to the words in his ears, but was silent. He knew that he had done a lot of two-faced things in the matter of Prince Yizhong back then, and then he wanted to remedy it, but it was too late. Now I have let it go in front of my father and ancestors, but it is different if I replace it with those princes, and I can't say when I think of it, I will be troubled.

It's just that now when I listen to Enhou's words, I seem to know the person who succeeds him, this ...... Jia Jing looked over intently, facing the blazing gaze of the eldest master. He didn't ask his doubts, but said, "Is the time right?" ”

Although the words are simple, Jia Jing is grateful to his cousin in his heart. It's hard to say the source, in his opinion, it's just Enhou to share the credit with him. It turned out that he was still an uncle and grandmother for more than ten years, and this kid had long been abolished, but he didn't expect that he still knew it.

"I'm talking to my big brother now, but it's just a word in advance. Naturally, the timing should be chosen well, and I already have a plan. Just wait for my workshop to be built, please go and guide you, big brother. Jia Yu hooked his lips and smiled, raising his wine glass to Jia Jing.

Jia Jing nodded silently, clinked glasses with him and drank all the wine in the cup.

Seeing him like this, Lord Pardon also breathed a sigh of relief. He is only one year apart from Jia Zheng, but he has been better with Brother Jing in the next house since he was a child. But those changes back then made the two of them look the same, and some of them gradually drifted apart. Fortunately, he still has a chance to remedy, and Brother Jing will not take the pill and die again.

Letting go of a thought, the eldest man quietly ate and drank and kept the New Year, or leaned on the backrest and wandered. The Jia family's such a lively New Year's scene will not be seen in a few years, and a piece of money will not be able to support such a scene; The second characters are scattered, and they can't be so neatly gathered.

It coincides with the happy time of the New Year, but the eldest man is quite sad and sad, the more the scene of cooking oil, the more desolate and cold in his eyes, the qiē in front of him is like a dream bubble, as long as he pokes it gently, it will disappear.

But the eldest man has always been a big heart, and after feeling sad, he put this sorrow away. When he waited for his son, he received the gifts of his children, grandchildren and subordinates, and after dispersing the New Year's money, he found an excuse to change his clothes and went to find a place to nap. There is still a tough battle to fight during the day, so he will have to recharge his batteries.

After resting for less than an hour, Jia Yu got up without being called, and went back to his study to change clothes. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he has to enter the palace to worship, and he is the only first-class general who can enter the Taihe Hall in these two mansions, and even Jia Zhen can only line up in the square outside the palace.

As soon as the five drums passed, the people who could enter the palace in the two prefectures were ready, and the sedan chairs and cars were sedan chairs, and they went to the palace in the dark sky.

When they arrived, the palace gate had not yet opened, but there were already many people waiting in front of the door. People gather in groups on the left and right, and they can clearly see their circles. Of course, there are some that stand alone, such as ......

"I've seen Lord Su." Jia Yu's eyes lit up when he saw this person, and he walked two steps quickly to get close and bowed.

Su Wang Yuwen was standing there alone, and a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, making him frown slightly. After seeing it clearly through the candlelight, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows in surprise. He looked the person in front of him up and down, and then said, "What's the matter today, you dare to show your head in front of me?" Isn't it a shrunken goose all day long, why did you change your temperament? ”

"The prince's words make me embarrassed." Jia Yu was stabbed by someone's words, but he was not embarrassed at all, and said with a smile: "Over the years, I was also scolded by my grandmother in a dream a few days ago, and I was suddenly scolded and woke up, and I didn't dare to think like a bastard like in the past." Lord Wang, look at my future appearance, if you are not satisfied, you can only punish me. ”

Yu Wenhu obviously didn't believe him very much, but he didn't say anything more, only said: "In this case, then the king will wait and see." After a pause, he said, "Come to my house another day, and let's talk about the old days." ”

"Yes, if I can get your invitation, it is a knife in the sky, and I will not dare to miss the appointment. You see, let's be in the second year of junior high school, okay? "Master Pardon gave full play to his thick-skinned advantage, and climbed up the pole.

Yu Wenhu nodded noncommittally, then turned his body to the side, and put on a posture of not talking any further. Jia Yu didn't make do with it any further, and retreated to Jia Zhen's side with a look. As for the second master of Zheng, he had already left the two of them and went to a few civil officials to greet each other.

"Uncle Forgiveness, do you still have a friendship with Prince Su? Why haven't I heard you mention it before? Jia Zhen asked with some surprise, he always thought that this uncle had never been involved in the affairs of the court, but looking at the way he had just talked to Prince Su, the two seemed to be very familiar with each other.

Master Yu still looked at King Su, but his expression was a little dazed, and said: "How can you not be familiar, I have been his companion for several years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I have been a playmate since childhood." It was only later that my grandmother passed away, and I quit my errand after returning home to keep my filial piety, so there were fewer contacts. ”

"You also know the character of Prince Su, that is a stricter than the law and stricter with himself, how dare I go to him as a bastard in the past?" Jia Yu said a little self-deprecatingly, his eyes were in the dark, still chasing Yu Wenhu.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that the throne would still fall into his hands when it arrived. Think about the children's words when the two of them were still young, they really did it, but they were dishonest to others. It's no wonder that he was disappointed, and in the end he ended up with a border pass.

Jia Zhen asked again, and saw the closed palace door slowly open, and nodded to Jia Yu to find his place. To enter the palace to worship is to stand in line, and his title of Sanpin is not at all ahead.

As the prince, Yu Wenhu is naturally at the forefront. When he felt that the gaze nailed to his body finally looked away, he glanced at the past without a trace, and saw Jia Enhou's face grinning with his teeth smirked, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and he hurriedly withdrew his gaze.

The lights were blind in all directions, and even a few lanterns were swaying in the wind, slamming into such a face, and the lethality was still quite great.

The Great Pilgrimage is very smooth, and no noble minister will find the old saint unhappy on this day. It was not until dawn that the ritual of worship was over, and it was time for the feast to be given in the palace. It is said that it is an honor to receive a palace banquet, but everyone present is afraid that there is little interest in this meal.

In the cold winter weather, the imperial banquet is placed on the square in front of the Taihe Palace, not to mention that it is not hot from the imperial dining room, just put it on the tea kung fu will become cold. Besides, there are few vegetables in winter, most of them are dishes with a lot of oil and meat, not to mention the appearance after it is frozen.

Fortunately, the eldest lord has a first-class lord, and he can rub a seat in the Taihe Palace, at least it is much more comfortable than his nephew and second child.

However, at this time, the lord of pardon had no heart to enjoy the imperial meal. From time to time, he would glance in the direction of the throne, muttering something to himself, not knowing what he was muttering.

At this moment, I saw Dai Quan, the supervisor in charge of the Daming Palace, coming over, and everyone who was passing by along the way got up to salute, and Dai Quan also frequently returned the salute. Dai Quan has been an old sage's confidant for many years, and his every move does not represent the holy will, and he came down from His Majesty Dan, which is naturally very attention-grabbing. Everyone didn't know who Dai Quan was looking for, so they stopped drinking chopsticks and looked at them as if they were nothing.

How...... He's looking for him?!
