Liu Dongsheng participated in the defeat of Jia Zhen, and his reputation among his colleagues and scholars in the Metropolitan Procuratorate increased greatly, of course, it could not reach the level of shock, and it was not an exaggeration to be able to participate in several marquis and earls in some vigorous imperial history. But it was also for him to accumulate qualifications and prestige, after the debriefing, Liu Dongsheng took office to supervise Ji Fu, and the first stop chose Huairou and Miyun in Shuntianfu, Jia Cong went to visit him in private, and did not mention it.

……

In the scorching summer, with the door opened, it shone into the Jia Muhua Hall, Jia Cong followed Jia Huan and Jia Lan to sit down, it was inconvenient to watch the opera in the hall, the last time Jia Cong came over, he still opened the door and built a stage opposite.

A large family of sons and relatives surrounded in all directions, with a total of Jia Mu, Jia Yu, Mrs. Xing, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng, Jia Baoyu, Jia Cong, Jia Huan, Jia Lan, Li Kun, Sanchun, Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai, and Lin Daiyu. Jia Zhen and You Shi also came over, this is probably the last time they will participate in this kind of banquet, and they feel shameless even when they sit, and their faces are hot.

Some girls served the food in an orderly manner and retreated in an orderly manner. Mandarin ducks, amber, raiders, Ping'er and other girls, as well as mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, some are waiting outside the door, some are waiting inside the door, waiting for orders at any time.

In order to make the atmosphere not embarrassing, Wang Xifeng and Mandarin Duck jointly discussed the drumming and passing the flowers, there were no plum blossoms in summer, Amber went outside to pick a lotus, although Wang Xifeng didn't care about the house, Jia's mother still liked her flattery.

I don't know if they secretly made a name for themselves, the mandarin ducks beat the drums, sometimes urgently, the lotus never reached Jia Cong's hands, and their jokes couldn't catch Jia Cong's laughter, he was happy and comfortable, burying his head in eating.

Li Kun quietly pulled Sanchun and Jia Lan out in the middle of the banquet, and it was none of his business, and he hung it high. Baochai, Aunt Xue, and Lin Daiyu were even more inconvenient to refer to, and they also withdrew, today is the Flower God Festival, and their sisters are lively.

After laughing and eating, Mother Jia got straight to the point and said: "Brother Zhen has committed a crime, which insults the lintel of the clan, and there is no need to mention this matter again." The will is to make the small sect or other decent people inherit it. This is a family matter, not just me, the person who chooses must take on the responsibility of the clan, do you have a good choice? ”

Ning Guofu's status as a great sect has long been taken away, and Jia Rong and the eldest son of his descendants have no identity as the son of a great sect, so Jia Rong is not considered, and Jia Rong is not suitable for the position of patriarch.

The patriarch has a lot of power and obligations in the clan, but the people here, such as Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Wang, are more concerned about the interests of the patriarch. The eighteen or nineteen Zhuangzi in Jiafu, the dispatch and circulation of silver involved are not only tens of thousands? According to this kind of pomp and circumstance in Jiafu, the cost of a year, 100,000 taels of silver is too little, who is not red-eyed? Who doesn't care?

"Ancestor, I am a shameless housekeeper, and I am also unrighteous, and I can't blame anyone. Lian'er is a burnt roll, thanks to the old ancestor who loves him, he can get by by outside, after all, he has been practicing for many years, Brother Bao is still young, not to mention Huan'er and Cong'er. I'm always thinking about making amends to Brother Cong, yes! Should! In the past, he saved me and helped me, and he didn't thank him, but what he said this time, he also had to make amends in person, this is Huang Ying grabbed the harrier's feet, one ring after another, and from then on, Lian'er and I have no discord with Brother Cong. ”

Wang Xifeng got up, witty words, and said a lot of words during the banquet, inside and outside the flower hall, very active, and many people laughed.

First dry for respect, a glass of wine in the stomach, the beautiful woman adds three points of charm, light red shawl, golden Yingluo, red skirt, mature and slender, that Dan phoenix eyes, looking directly at Jia Cong with a smile, full of "love" and "apology", Jia Mu Lian said, "It's good to be more harmonious".

Jia Lian lowered his head, although Wang Xifeng was joking, but with this wife here, he really didn't have anything to say, and the beauty of his wife's drunkenness made him even more appreciative...... Don't look at Wang Xifeng in front of people, but at night he is so embarrassed that he refuses to change his appearance, in the middle of the banquet, the second master Lian is soul flew out of the sky, his eyes were fluttering, as if he had flown into the clouds...... Overlooking the goddess of King Xiang, Wushan clouds and rain......

"Sister-in-law is polite." Jia Cong smiled, returned a glass lightly, and said nothing else after that.

Wang Xifeng frowned, she couldn't imagine that Jia Cong would pass like this, this feeling of ignoring made her feel annoyed.

I thought that Jia Cong would quarrel, but I didn't know that Jia Cong seemed to be bored fighting with her, a woman who had lost power.

Wang Xifeng's meaning, naturally, is her husband Jia Lian's ascendancy, Jia Lian's management methods, she is clear, not as good as her, when the time comes, help come up with ideas, power, you can slowly take it back, moreover, this time it is the power of the patriarch's wife, how many white flowers and golden silver are there? Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng's heart was full of joy!

She dared to bring it up because her husband was the most justifiable, Jia Lian was the eldest son of the small sect of Rongguo Mansion, and he became a parent, he had done things, he was more stable, and he counted with his fingers, who else was more suitable?

However, after Wang Xifeng returned to the big house, he ignored Mrs. Wang, was Mrs. Wang happy?

Jia Zheng "ignored secular affairs" and did not say a word.

Mrs. Wang looked at Wang Xifeng's eyes, and quickly swept a touch of ruthlessness, the old lady dotes on Baoyu, won't this family be Baoyu's in the future?

"Isn't it?" Mrs. Wang smiled kindly: "Feng girl, Lian'er is socializing outside, and he hasn't done any major things in the clan, besides, he is young and loves to have fun......

Wang Xifeng was stunned, didn't know how to answer, and smiled awkwardly......

Jia Mu patted Baoyu in her arms, pondered, and said, "Forgiveness, Zheng'er, don't you speak?" ”

"The mother forgives the sin, the child is in the Ministry of Works, and he is busy with official business, so he just wants to be cautious and not do Zhen'er's things again." Jia Zheng said elegantly.

"Ahem...... Jia Yu straightened his chest and said something attention-grabbing: "Mother, the child has a good choice, this person is Jia Qiang, the righteous great-grandson of Ningfu." As Wang said, my son Jia Lian is not suitable, he has a hard time helping Xifu socialize, and occasionally spends all day drinking. Jia Qiang of Ningguo Mansion, although she is not married, her blood is pure, and besides, her mother also said that she is not only elected in Rongguo Mansion. The child thinks that the clan affairs are borne by Jia Qiang, and we will go to Xifu and everything will be as usual. ”

The scene was suddenly quiet.

What is the big man doing? He doesn't want to be the patriarch himself, so why did he push his son Jia Lian away? Kicked in the head by a donkey? Wrong...... Wang Xifeng thought about it a little and advanced by retreating? The four major families, the current power of the Wang family is the greatest, Jia Yu is taking care of Mrs. Wang? When did my father-in-law have this kind of thought? Wang Xifeng's gaze suddenly looked at Jia Cong......

That's right, this is Jia Cong's countermeasure dedicated to Jia Yu.

How could Jia Mu not consider the power of the Wang family? Second, Jia Yu has always been unfavored, so he can redeem some good impressions. Third, Jia Lian hooks up every day, this person has a conscience and will not abuse his clansmen, but over time, how can the actual power not fall into the hands of Wang Xifeng? This is the last thing Jia Cong wants to see, in this way, wouldn't it be in vain for him to cut off her housekeeping power before.

Fourth, it is Jia Qiang.

The meaning of "decent" is not to say that he is upright, but "pure blood", and Jia Qiang belongs to Ningfu, Jia Zhen's reputation in a large sect has been cut, and he is the most justifiable.

Jia Qiang is the most handsome man in Jiafu, more handsome than Jia Rong. In the last forty episodes of Gao E, Jia Qiang and Jia Yun were smeared, and they were changed randomly. Jia Yun has the best character, but she is not a descendant, no. The love between Jia Qiang and Ling Guan is simply a copy of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, he went to Suzhou to procure dramas and run affairs, and it was good for Ling Guan, because his parents died when he was a child, and he was brought up by Jia Zhen. Jia Cong has also met these clansmen a few times, compared to Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, and Jia Baoyu, Jia Qiang is better, and it is the result of his weighing and consideration from all aspects.

Unlike Wang Xifeng, who acted flawlessly, Mrs. Wang couldn't find an attack point, and Jia Zhengdu was a little jealous of this wife...... The affairs of the officials of Jiafu are basically troublesome to Wang Ziteng, so it is impossible to win the fight with the second room, and Jia Yu also knows this. Jia Cong's considerations are to retreat into advance, and if he wants to speak, he must gain fame, otherwise, he can only watch these people dig pits and jump by themselves, and bury him in them.

"Well......" Jia's mother obviously thought of this, especially when it was proposed by Jia Yu, she had a little good impression of her eldest son, and agreed: "This candidate is a good candidate, since Zheng'er and Yu'er have no objections, so it's decided." Zhen'er, I don't want to talk about you, you have your own business, you understand, go back and hand over the genealogy and the like, and Zheng'er will also play and talk back, does your father know? ”

"Yes, I went to Xuanzhen Temple." Jia Zhen is submissive, without the slightest bit of prestige in the past: "My father said he didn't care......"

The couple withdrew in shame, Jia Zhen also thought that Jia Cong was helping him, Jia Qiang was brought out by him, and he would not treat them badly in the future, life was finally not a little sad, Jia Zhen was very moved by Jia Cong and Jia Yu...... You Shi understood better than him, and smiled at Jia Cong.

The most unhappy thing is Wang Xifeng, her heart is blocked by a stone, at this time she doesn't look at You's, You has lost her status, and she won't look at each other when she comes out of a small family......

Mrs. Wang smiled, everything is as usual, Xifu is still their second room in charge, Jia Qiang? The people of the cursive generation, when they see Baoyu, they have to call the second uncle and salute, which is not like Jia Zhen's messy approach, but also better controlled, everyone is happy, everyone is happy......

……

Wang Xifeng's first consideration was her own wallet, and then Mrs. Wang, after all, she was her maiden aunt, more dear, Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng had never considered for her.

Mrs. Xing doesn't rely on anyone, she has no children and no daughters (no biological ones), she has no worries, her brother Xing Zhong enters the house, and she doesn't help at all, and her niece Xing Xiuyan comes in and throws it to Yingchun, she doesn't give a penny...... It's still funded by Ping'er.

After the meal, Wang Xifeng went to the east ear room of the East Cross Courtyard of the West Mansion and said to Mrs. Wang: "Madam, Cong'er will go on a study tour in a few days, so Master Qin has a lot of praise for him...... If Cong'er is in high school, not only my room, but in the future, Xifu will not be under the control of my wife. ”

Mrs. Wang sat on the kang, her left hand on her chest, and her right hand knocked on the wooden fish, kind and amiable: "Feng girl, Xiucai is not so easy to test." My eldest son Zhu'er has been a showman, how can I not know? Don't look at him smart, there are more smart people, he can't pass the hospital test, he is seventy or eighty years old, and he is also an old child, what is it worth? If you are a showman, it is difficult to become an official. ”

"Cong'er is a child after all, like Jia Huan, hairy, but she wants to win praise from her elders. said that he was out of the house to study, but could he not be tired of staying in the house, so he wandered around? ”

"Humph! It's all raised by a little maid! What kind of climate can it become? My heart and liver treasure jade are auspicious from the sky, and the blessings are profound, and the eldest lord and eldest wife can fight for the past? Mrs. Wang's peace was gone, and as soon as she dropped the Buddha beads, the rosewood beads strung together were torn apart and rolled in the ear room, and Mrs. Wang sneered, disdainful, and disdainful.

"That's what Madame said." Wang Xifeng flattered, smiled busily, and went to pick up the beads, didn't the eldest man show weakness today? Think about what my aunt said is really right, Jia Cong and Jia Huan are both people who can't become big things.
