Compared with the previous funeral in front of the door of the snub pommel horse, as soon as Jia Cong returned to Beijing, the emperor set the direction of the wind, outside the champion square of Ningrong Street in the west city of Beijing, immediately changed from the door to the door, from the sixth or seventh sedan chair slowly to the first and second sedan chairs, outsiders seem to be just embarrassed and lively, the conversation on the wine table, envy and jealousy and fantasy about whether the cake eaten by the nobles is as big as a pot and pan.

Jia Zheng, who has experienced the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, has another emotion, he can't do anything like "morality, speech, and meritorious service", but he can see it more clearly when he gets out of it.

Jia Lian, Jia Cong, Jia Qiang, Jia Baoyu and their men came out to entertain, from the half-day banquet to the front of the mourning hall, many officials went to the incense one by one to worship, in a trance, Jia Zheng couldn't hear how Jia Cong talked to the visitors, and then sat aside with Shi Ding and Shi Nai, out of mind for a while, lost his mind for a while, just like Jia Baoyu on weekdays.

Shi Ding touched him coldly: "Brother Cun Zhou, what do you feel?" Isn't it brewing poetry? I haven't seen you composing poetry for decades. ”

"I'm afraid I'm overjoyed in Cun Zhou." Shi Nai smiled: "You might as well guess, what kind of knight will we, the most promising junior, get?" ”

"Alas, it is the two brothers who are overjoyed." Jia Zhengxiang boasted of being high, if it weren't for the maintenance of the marriage of interests, he would not be very happy with these two people: "Misfortune and fortune are relied upon, and fortune and misfortune are lurking." There were all kinds of signs at the festival banquet back then, and the more brilliant it was, the more vigilant it was. ”

"Overthinking, overthinking."

"yes, yes. The nephew has long been an official to the first grade, the cabinet scholar, the emperor of the dynasty, in the hall of these full of practical innovation and the flow of strong support, outside, there are the governor-general to accept, the military has the town of several island officials. The benefits of opening the sea, benefiting 10,000 people, cultural governance and martial arts, this dynasty is unmatched! ”

"There are also many people who tend to be inflammatory, and when they see that Cong'er is not falling and stable, they are looking at the wind and want to go up. The more people blow it, the more unreliable they are at critical moments. Jia Zheng thought, remembering that Jia Yucun was introduced at the beginning, and Jia Yucun was the same, and felt that he had failed too much to recognize people.

Looking at Jia Cong's table inside, it was surrounded by staunch allies, Jia Zheng thought again: "It seems that Cong'er is always vigilant." ”

The women who cried in the mourning hall were also full of emotion, they wore filial piety clothes of great merit and small merit according to the regulations, and combed the fallen horse bun with their heads, the look on her long face was very complicated, and she said in her heart: "In such a situation, my wife will never be able to compete with the big house, even if Jia Cong takes off his official clothes for filial piety, who knows that his influence, appeal, and allies will be so powerful?" It's not like the old man...... It's not like our second master......"

Jia Baoyu, who was mixed with her daughter, was dissatisfied, and when she saw that there were no outsiders in the mourning hall, she raised her hands and was angry in a low voice: "A good condolence meeting, see what it has become?" The hall is full of inexhaustible inscriptions, paper money, and mourning weapons! It's not good to give gifts blatantly, so I inlay gold, jade, gems and silverware on the four treasures of the study! Gifts and bribes are all over the place! ”

"Look! Look! It should be the sorrow of a deceased, heavens! It's all gone! It's a joy! ”

The sisters and concubines laughed, they had long been accustomed to Jia Baoyu's madness, and very few people took his words seriously, Lin Daiyu stared at her eyes and said: "Even so, you don't have to say it out, it's not that you can change." Who of us who has been an official in our respective families? According to me, only seek personal gain, and the old man knows that it should be successful. It should be a failure to seek only great ambitions, no wonder the condolence has become an alliance. ”

"You're right." Ping'er Road.

In this way, no one is really too sad about Jia Yu's death, and there are very few people who have had due grief, except for Jia Baoyu and Jia Mu, who are partial to Jia Mu's sadness, probably not too much.

Ask Miaoyu, who wants Miaoyu to ignore it, Jia Baoyu was suddenly bored, and he also cared about Daiyu's words, so he wouldn't be "crazy". Jia Zheng's change of attitude allowed him to get a more relaxed environment, so his anger did not last long. Out of the mourning hall, I met Zhen Baoyu coming back from the hall, Jia Baoyu said: "It's rare for the world brother to come here, and the last time we met was too hasty." ”

The two were born exactly the same, but their costumes were very different, Zhen Baoyu was wearing a silk ragged shirt with soap bars, representing the fame of Xiucai and the temperament of Qingjin: "I went to Beijing to catch the exam last year, and I helped my cousin Ling run a bookstore in Jinling." I wanted to take the exam again in two years, but no, Ling cousin Shanhai Gong said that it was the same to run a bookstore in Beijing, so he stayed. ”

"Or, Brother Shi will also hurry up to take the exam, and then our brothers of the family will fight side by side?"

"Oh." Jia Baoyu suddenly lost interest again, and looked sideways: "Farewell!" ”

When I turned around, I just heard Ping'er and them talking about mandarin ducks, it turned out that last time Jia's mother promised the mandarin ducks to go back to Jinling to pay respects to their deceased parents, which was regarded as the master's great grace to the slaves, and the slaves and maids had no right to keep filial piety. When she came back this time, Jia Cong took her, a few maids who were good back then, and when they talked, they said that they wanted to take a look, and Jia Baoyu was suddenly happy: "I'll go too, I'll go too." ”

"Mandarin duck fortune-telling is good, Master Cong also made a big effort in it, when my old son died, the old lady only told me to go home to watch a few days, and the funeral didn't matter, when there was no this person." It's a joke.

"Anyway, it's better than me, a fatherless and motherless person." Ping'er turned around her graceful figure and interjected with a smile.

The atmosphere became lively, and after walking a few steps, Yu Chuan came expressionlessly and said: "Mrs. said that her hair is dizzy, she is old, and she can't do things, will Aunt Hua and Grandma Lin go to see it?" ”

Sanchun Daiyu's eyes are different, I'm afraid that she was stunned by Jia Cong's momentum, right?

Jia Baoyu was excited, he was afraid of being disciplined by his parents since he was a child, Mrs. Wang would not care about him when she was powerful, the clan elder system, children have no human rights, and the attacker was the first to react: "I'll go, and I'll come back to grandma." ”

Shi Ding here said: "Cun Zhou, let the nephew be in the prime of life, the blood is strong, and after Ding is worried, he should be able to marry a few more rooms, and plan for the heirs of the clan." ”

Jia Zheng said: "He already has two concubines, it's too late, do you want to marry the daughter of the Houmen?" ”

"That's what I mean." Snae said.

"What kind of system is this? Houmen's daughter is a concubine, aren't you afraid of people's jokes? Jia Zheng was shocked, and almost got up in the case, who are the historians! Too philistine, too snobbish! There is no poetic atmosphere at all!

Shi Ding beckoned and laughed quietly: "What if he can be crowned king?" The prince's concubine also has a title, or a servant, a talent, or a concubine, then it is not called a concubine room. Who would dare to laugh? How many powerful people are eager to send their daughters to the prince's house, what is ridiculous? ”

Jia Zheng was stunned, Jia Cong ...... Will there be a day when he will be crowned king? This...... He really didn't dare to think that his ancestors and ancestors were just dukes......

Now all the topics inside and outside revolve around Jia Cong.

Jia Cong became the Jia clan, no, the core figure of the four major families, as well as the visiting officials.
