Chapter 14 Walking on the water
On the second floor of Tianxiang Building, Qin Keqing, who was admiring the paintings, didn't expect that his father-in-law, Jia Zhen, who had always been extremely strict, would be a Danqing master!
She selflessly admired the fair woman on the begonia incense table, peerless and affectionate.
At this time, her graceful posture and the bursts of fragrant breath exhaled from the cherry mouth all intoxicated Jia Zhen, who was getting closer and closer.
His eyes were hot and possessive, staring at the beauty in front of him, not only the color of the country, not only her charming and amorous demeanor, but even the human identity that was forbidden by the world, which made him feel trembling and stimulated.
However, he inherited the title at the age of twenty, and after being the only one in a huge state mansion for too long, it has not happened for too long for him to feel so excited!
However, just as his hand was about to gently rest on Qin Keqing's gentle and fragrant shoulder, suddenly, a clear exclamation came from not far outside Tianxiang Tower:
"Not good! Walk the water, walk the water! ”
"Come on, people, the ancestral hall is gone!"
"God, come on, the ancestral ancestral hall is gone!"
The ancestral hall of the Jia clan was originally on the west side of the East Mansion, not far from Tianxiang Building, and after these words were clearly transmitted to the second floor of Tianxiang Building, Jia Zhen's face changed drastically.
And Qin Keqing, who came back to her senses, found that her father-in-law had stood beside her for some time, and one hand seemed to be on her shoulder, and her pretty face was flushed.
Jia Zhen didn't care about explaining much at the moment, so she only left a sentence: "You are waiting here." Then he hurried downstairs and hurried in the direction of the ancestral hall.
The major affairs of the country are in worship and Rong.
The ritual was still before Rong, which shows how important the sacrifice is in this era.
The ancestral hall of the Jia family enshrines the spiritual seat of the ancestors of the Jia family, and the incense of the inheritance clan is burned, which is the first important place of the Jia family.
In addition, there are many imperial pens of the founding emperor and the kings of later generations in the ancestral hall, which is a symbol of the supreme glory and heritage of the Jia family, how dare you lose?
Jia Zhen hurried all the way, and saw a lot of family members running with buckets on their shoulders on the road, and finally arrived in front of the ancestral hall, and saw that only the five gates in the black oil fence were on fire, and there was no fire inside, so the sea breathed a sigh of relief, and instructed Lai Sheng, the big housekeeper who was also anxious to hear the news, said: "Quickly extinguish the fire." ”
At this time, a reckless old man, full of alcohol, came over and scolded: "A bunch of beasts who don't have long eyes, why don't you hurry up and open the gate and get water from the water tank inside to extinguish the fire?" ”
When Jia Zhen saw this old man, he was angry, and asked, "Jiao Da, you have always been in charge of the ancestral hall, why are you not here when the fire broke out for no reason?" ”
Jiao Da was a house slave who led a horse and fell on the battlefield for Ning Guogong back then, and once carried Ning Guogong out of the pile of dead, not much water, and he drank horse urine himself to drink water for the master.
There is such a origin, don't say Jia Zhen, it is his Laozi Jia Jing, and his Laozi's Laozi Jia Daihua is here, all of which make this old slave three points.
So Jiao Da was not afraid at all, walked to the gate of the ancestral hall that had been extinguished in three or two steps, and said loudly: "Brother Zhen, don't you want to give me a big one, who has Mrs. Jiao been afraid of?" If you come here and take a closer look, there is neither an incense burner nor a paper treasure burned, so how can it catch fire for no reason? This must be because there are unscrupulous descendants in the family, and they have done shameless things and forgotten eight things, and the ancestors and ancestors can't see it, so they are angry. ”
Jia Zhen's heart twitched suddenly, and her face became more and more difficult to look at, looking at Jiao Da, who was still shouting loudly that the descendants of Ning Guo were all unworthy of the king, the green tendons on his head jumped, and he was about to order the old slave to be dragged down and whipped eighty times, but at this moment, he saw a young man hurrying over with someone, and before he arrived, he asked urgently: "What happened?" The two masters asked me to come over first to see, how can it be like the ancestral hall is walking on this side of the water? ”
This person is Jia Lian, the son of Jia Yu, the first-class general inherited by Rongguo Mansion, and he is also a perennial figure who is used to being used to music, but thanks to the blessing of his ancestors, when he inherits the title of his ancestors in the future, he will be one level higher than Jia Zhen.
Jia Zhenqiang swallowed the anger in his heart, and asked people to bring the drunk Jiao Da down first, and his thoughts suddenly changed, and he said, "Brother Lian is here?" Oops, even the two uncles were alarmed, what a ...... It's all that Jiao Da, I thought he was an old Chen man in the house, and he was there when the ancestor of Ning Guo was there, so he deliberately handed over the ancestral hall to him to see. Who would have thought that he would dare to be so careless, and go out to eat and drink on the day of duty, but somehow the water will go out on this side of the gate. Fortunately, it didn't disturb inside, otherwise the sin would have been great. ”
When Jia Lian heard this, he saw that there was indeed only one burning place at the archway of the gatehouse, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since this is the case, I will go back to the master." Even the old lady was alarmed, and she didn't worry about sending the two old men over to take a look. ”
When Jia Zhen heard this, she hurriedly said some words to settle down, asking Jia Lian to dispel the old lady's heart, and after seeing Jia Lian leave, she felt cold behind her.
I was extremely suspicious: Could it be that the ancestor was really angry......
Is it that there are still many wealthy and noble people in later generations who believe in their ancestral gods, so Feng Shui has never been extinct, let alone the present?
Just when Jia Zhen was suspicious, Jia Rong came in disheveled clothes, faintly smelling the rouge on his body, Jia Zhen said angrily: "Damn beast, even the master is here, the old lady and the two masters of Xifu almost came over, but you only came here." ”
After scolding, he instructed a servant to smack him.
The slave didn't dare to disobey Jia Zhen's wishes, so he could only step forward and spat at Jia Rong.
Jia Rong was spitted on her face, and she could only stand there woodenly, not daring to move.
The more Jia Zhen looked at it, the more disgusted she became, and shouted, "What are you still doing standing here?" Go to Xifu and tell the old lady and the two masters that everything is fine. Look at your virtue, I have never seen a waste descendant like you in Ningfu. ”
Jia Rong hurriedly bowed and retreated, heading in the direction of Xifu.
It wasn't until he left Jia Zhen's field of vision that he dared to take out his handkerchief and wipe off the foul-smelling spittle on his face.
……
Following.
At noon, the non-dazzling sunlight shines through the pomegranate leaves and into the courtyard.
Jia Qiang, who had been reading for a few hours, stretched out, leaned back in her chair, and looked out at the sunny sky through the window with her face sideways.
The old cat of my uncle's family is haunted, constantly patrolling this dilapidated old house that has not been inhabited for a long time, searching for fat food.
Xicheng, not only is the people living well, but even the competitive pressure of cats is much smaller.
If he weren't for the decent great-grandson of Ning Guofu, if he didn't save himself, he would be implicated in the future, and now he is still worried about the ridiculous bastard Jia Zhen, then he sits here every day and watches the clouds and seas in the sky rise and fall, listen to the night breeze in the courtyard, watch the pomegranate trees bloom and fall, and can also enjoy the quiet beauty of life.
It's a pity that the trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop.
Unless he is content to be a broken household in his life, and after the glory and tranquility are broken in the future, he will be bullied by others, otherwise, he can only rise up and fight in order to survive!
Just thinking about it, I suddenly saw Liu Daniu come in, and said a little nervously: "Qiang'er, the guest you said is here, and he brought a lot of courtesy!" ”
Jia Qiang sighed when she heard this, got up and said, "My aunt didn't approve of me inviting the host yesterday, saying that I was poor and generous, what do you say today?" ”
Liu Daniu smiled and said, "What do our girls know? Qiang'er, go quickly, don't let people wait, your brother-in-law's rammer can't speak, and he carefully neglects the distinguished guests, which makes people look down on him! ”
Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "If they look down on my family, why should I associate with them?" ”
Liu Daniu was greatly moved when she heard this, but she still pulled Jia Qiang and asked him to hurry up to entertain guests.
