Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall.

After sleeping soundly for a few hours in the sound of the scriptures, Jia Mu reappeared in good spirits.

Not only her, but even Aunt Xue has come well, as if the sound of scriptures can really suppress the obsession in their hearts.

Afterwards, although they stayed for a long time, the tired Huijing Shitai and Miaoyu still insisted on returning to the Muni Temple.

Today is the day of family reunion, and it is not appropriate for them to stay in Jiafu.

and politely refused Jia Cong's send-off.

At the beginning of the unitary time, the Rongguo Mansion is lit up with lights, and all kinds of lanterns are lit.

The Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival is a grand event second only to the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.

In the courtyard in front of the Rongqing Hall, there are all kinds of lanterns, such as a hundred birds and a phoenix, a double dragon playing with pearls, Chang'e running to the moon and so on......

The colors are bright and the story is interesting.

After the relatives had enjoyed it first, they all entered the Rongqing Hall.

The men, on the other hand, set up two tables under the porch.

In addition to Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Cong, Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Rong, Jia Lan and other men from the two provinces, there are also Jia Qiang, Jia Yan, Jia Yun and other side children.

In addition, Qin Zhong was also brought by Jia Zhen and Jia Rong.

It is only said that Qin Ye, the father of Qin Zhong, learned that he was going to study with the famous Jia Qingchen, and sent it early.

Jia Zheng saw that Qin Zhongwen was weak and handsome, so he didn't say anything.

However, Baoyu and Qin Zhong hit it off at first sight, and they liked it very much.

Knowing that this boy, who was shy to speak, was going to study at Mozhu Academy tomorrow, Baoyu made up her mind to study hard at Mozhu Academy from tomorrow......

At the table under the corridor, Jia Zheng naturally sat on the top seat.

Jia Zhen on the left hand side and Jia Lian on the right hand.

Jia Cong sat behind Jia Zhen, and Baoyu sat behind Jia Lian.

The rest sit in chronological order.

There was laughter in the inner hall, and there was also laughter under the porch outside.

A bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the moonlight shines into thousands of households.

A large red lantern hangs under the eaves of the verandah, and two round tables under the verandah are full of delicacies.

The banquet was staggered, so it was not lively.

It's just that because there is a respectable elder, the excitement is also floating on the surface......

Among the sons and nephews, only Jia Cong is free.

"I heard that both Jinling and Shandong have sent you a salute?"

After eating a few bites, Jia Zheng put down his chopsticks, looked at Jia Cong with a smile and asked.

When Jia Cong heard this, he hurriedly put down his chopsticks and responded: "Yes, it happened to be delivered at noon." ”

As soon as these words came out, Jia Zhen smiled and said: "The third brother is so decent! Mr. Mu Min and Song Chan Gong are both great Confucians in the world, but they love them so much, even my family has never had a glory. ”

On the side, Jia Qiang, Jia Yun, Jia Yan and others secretly envied.

Jia Cong said politely: "Brother Zhen praised it falsely, also because my surname is Jia." ”

Jia Lian smiled: "The third brother is becoming more and more humble, we are also surnamed Jia, why didn't anyone give us gifts?" ”

The crowd laughed.

Jia Zheng smiled: "Have you sent a letter?" ”

Jia Cong nodded, paused and said, "In addition to caring about his nephew's schoolwork, the teacher and Mr. Mu Min also said something in the letter. ”

"Oh? Do you have any instructions for the two great masters? ”

Jia Zheng has always liked to socialize with literati, and both Song Yan and Kong Chuanzhen are people he longs for to befriend.

It is therefore of particular interest......

Jia Cong said: "Mr. Mu Min said that he is going to Jinling next month to meet friends, and I heard that several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River have been affected by disasters, and there are many Mongolian schools that lack Mongolian teachers, and his old man wants to go and see." The gentleman told me that there are many famous doctors and masters in Jiangnan, and he can't relieve the pain of the eldest lord and wife, and he has asked people to help find them, but some of them have strange temperaments, and I am afraid that I need to go and invite them in person. It just so happens that Mr. Mu Min is going to Jinling next month, and he has a big face and can help me say good things......"

None of the people is stupid, and they know that the so-called famous doctors and masters are just excuses.

No matter how many famous doctors in Jiangnan are, can there be more than in Beijing?

It's just to cover up the cover of "parents are here, not far away".

Song Yan's meaning was to ask Jia Cong to go south to study.

What this gentleman did was really ......

Jia Zheng asked, "What is Cong'er's plan?" ”

Jia Cong smiled: "Naturally, you have to listen to the master's meaning." ”

Jia Zheng pondered for a while, and said slowly: "After autumn, the eldest master's body is a little undulating, at this time...... Cong'er should not go far for the time being, it's too late to return. ”

Jia Cong nodded and smiled: "My nephew understands, go back and send a letter to Mr. to explain the matter." In the spring of next year, the eldest man will raise some nephews before going to Jiangnan. ”

Song Yan invited him to go south, and Jia Cong naturally understood.

Now that the New Party is the dominant party in the DPRK and China, after the defeat of Emperor Chongkang's support for the eunuch party, the balance between imperial power and relative power has been faintly lost.

The New Party vigorously implemented the new law in other provinces, and it was in full swing.

Jingzhong gradually retracted his wings and was cautious, but even so, sensitive people could faintly smell the smell of the stormy waves.

This is just a corner, the real power is still Emperor Chongkang and Zhenyuan Heroes, and the one standing behind Zhenyuan Heroes.

Emperor Chongkang will not completely purge or recover these people in the army, and he will definitely not be at ease.

And Emperor Chongkang's only sharp blade to deal with the Zhenyuan lineage is the lineage of the founding heroes.

At this time, Song Yan hoped that Jia Cong could avoid the center of the vortex.

These words did not fall on the written letters, they were the son of Uncle Lin, an old servant of Song Yan, and they were passed on by word of mouth.

Although Jia Cong is grateful to Song Yan for his plan, Song Yan doesn't know one thing, and he can't say it clearly.

That is, Jia Yu is really not a few days away......

Being able to survive to this day, Jia Cong is amazed.

I can only sigh at the magic of ancient Chinese medicine.

At this time, if he went south, I was afraid that within a few days of arriving in Jinling, he would receive an urgent letter to return north quickly.

Seeing that Jia Cong respected his opinions so much, and even ignored the letters of Yan Shenggong and Song Yan, Jia Zheng was in a good mood.

actually raised a glass and asked Jia Cong: "Can Cong'er drink?" ”

Jia Cong hurriedly got up, raised his glass and said, "My nephew toasts the master!" ”

Seeing this, Jia Zheng was satisfied, but Jia Zhen laughed and said, "Eh! Don't...... The third brother of my family is highly talented, and the toast must not be so brief! When more than two words. ”

When he said this, all the people looked at him.

Jia Zheng saw that Jia Cong's face was embarrassed, and knew that he was worried that Jia Mu and others would be annoyed, so he smiled and said: "Today's reunion festival, Cong'er can use the word "celebration" as the title, and just say a few small sentences in an informal form. ”

Jia Cong didn't shirk, thought about it, and said loudly: "Xiangyun Floating Purple Pavilion, jubilant Zhumen." ”

"Good!"

After just reading one sentence, Jia Zhen and Jia Lian cheered one after another.

Born in a public family, I like this kind of rich and noble words the most.

"The curtain is short to keep the moon, and the height of the building does not hinder the clouds."

"The orchid is full of fragrance, and the moon is full at night in the pine window."

After reading it, everyone shouted in unison!

For a moment, the sound drowned out the laughter inside.

Jia Zheng was extremely satisfied and drank with Jia Cong.

Everyone cheered again, and the atmosphere finally became lively.

At this moment, I saw that Jia Mu sent a girl out to ask what was so lively, please come and let the inside be Legole.

When everyone heard this, they looked at Jia Cong worriedly.

Jia's mother gave a strict order before, not allowing Jia Cong to write some sour poems and sour words to hurt people......

Jia Zheng smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll go in and tell the old lady." Brother Zhen, you take these brothers and nephews to continue the feast. ”

He knew that he was here, and his children and nephews were not happy.

So take this opportunity to leave the table and make room.

After a while, he left directly from the side door of Rongqing Hall......

Sure enough, after Jia Zheng entered the hall, the atmosphere at the banquet became more and more lively.

Jia Zhen asked Jia Huan, who was sitting next to Jia Cong, to give up a seat, and Qin Zhong sat next to Jia Cong, and then asked Qin Zhong to listen to Jia Cong's words and call him Shu Yunyun.

Seeing that Jia Cong was not as prevaricating as in the past, he even said that Qin Zhong didn't have to go back today, stay in the house, and read it tomorrow morning.

Let Jia Zhen be overjoyed!

Raise a glass again and again, drink with Jia Cong!

On the other side, Jia Rong's face was faintly reluctant......

However, Jia Lian seemed to take special care of him, raising a glass from time to time and drinking with him.

Baoyu changed positions with Jia Huan again, and worked with Qin Zhong next to each other, and after a while, they held hands and talked eagerly.

Even Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang refused to let people call him in......

After three rounds of food and five flavors, Jia Zhen was overjoyed in her heart, and she was already a little drunk.

He took Jia Cong's hand and said, "Third brother, that soap recipe, is there really no way?" Ah! What a pity! If you had said it earlier, and our family would have done it ourselves, it would have been a mountain of gold! Now I think the Ye family is also confused, she is too young, and she is favored by the Queen Mother, and she doesn't know the beauty of silver......

How can anyone do this business only once in ten days? Isn't this pushing the gold and silver sea out of the door?

Third brother, you have to think of a way to come up with a recipe!

Our family looks wealthy, but in fact, over the years, there is more and less income, although the ancestors still have some family foundation, but they are gradually unable to make ends meet.

Now that you are about to inherit the title, and you have this ability, why not do you have the strength?

I'll work with you, as long as you have a prescription, you don't have to worry about the rest, just wait for the cashier! ”

Jia Cong's face was red from drinking a lot of wine, and his eyes seemed to be a little confused, and he smiled: "Since Brother Zhen has opened his mouth, little brother ...... The younger brother naturally wants to use dim sum. This matter will be done later, if you can really find out the recipe again, you must partner with Brother Zhen!

On the Ye family's side, Qing Gongzi is a noble person, and she doesn't care about the amount of silver, so I ...... I can't help it. ”

When Jia Zhen heard this, although he was still a little disappointed, he finally let Jia Cong open his mouth, and he still felt very happy, thinking about the silver in Qinxiangyuan, he would have the opportunity to eat a bite in the future, his heart was pounding, and he was a little breathless, but he only regarded it as festive, and raised his glass again without thinking: "Come on, come on!" Third brother, let's have another drink! ”

Jia Cong smiled, did not give up, raised his glass to drink, and used the wine jug to add wine to Jia Zhen.

Tian Bacai said: "Brother Zhen, we've drunk a lot, aren't we...... Isn't it quitting? ”

When Jia Zhen heard this, he didn't feel like it was enjoyable, he was used to it, but after thinking of something, his eyes narrowed slightly, he smiled, and said, "Okay!" Just listen to the persuasion of the third brother, let's drink the last cup! It's time for the old lady inside to rest, so let's leave. ”

After that, he raised his glass again and drank it all with Jia Cong.

After drinking, he looked at Jia Rong, who was also drinking, and scolded: "What a nasty seed, you haven't drunk high yet, you're getting drunk!" Why don't you invite your wife and daughter-in-law to their house? ”

Hearing this, Jia Rong hurriedly got up, and after agreeing, she walked towards Rongqing Hall.

was scolded again: "Damn brute, Huang Tang is lost? Master and your third uncle haven't left yet, what are you anxious about? ”

Jia Rong almost vomited blood when she heard this, but she didn't dare to say anything.

It's just that he really drank a lot of wine today, and he always felt that there was an evil fire in his heart that was about to be suppressed, and he was afraid of being seen something, so he hurriedly lowered his head and stood aside.

Seeing this, Jia Zhen snorted, got up and entered the Rongqing Hall with Jia Lian, Jia Cong, Baoyu and others.

In Rongqing Hall, it was because Mother Jia and Aunt Xue had slept for a day today, so they were not sleepy at this time, and they were talking and laughing energetically.

Seeing Jia Zhen and others coming in to say goodbye, Jia Mu also said strangely: "Why is it over at this time?" ”

Jia Zhen said with a smile: "The third brother has a heart, seeing that I am old, he persuaded me to drink less, he is kind, I will not drink more, and it is really not early today, the old lady should also go to bed and rest." ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she was very disappointed, turned her face and glared at Jia Cong, and said, "This family business has not fallen into your hands, are you so stingy?" ”

Hearing her say this, the sisters of the Jia family all looked at Jia Cong worriedly.

Jia Cong was speechless, bowed down and said, "It's not that Jia Cong is stingy, I'm just worried about Brother Zhen's body......"

Jia Mu snorted and said, "Don't worry about you, Brother Zhen'er's body is fine!" ”

This is not a lie, compared to Jia Yu, Jia Zhen and even Jia Lian, Jia Zhen is tall and strong, and she looks really good.

Jia Cong didn't say anything anymore, and Mrs. Wang smiled on the side: "It's really night, the old lady didn't sleep well for the first few nights, why don't you rest early tonight." ”

Aunt Xue, You Shi and others also persuaded them, and Mother Jia gave up and dispersed.

Jia Zhen and Jia Rong returned home with You and Qin, Aunt Xue led Baochai back, and Mrs. Wang left with Baoyu, sending Sanchun back to their respective courtyards by the way.

Jia Cong went back to Mozhu Courtyard, and talked and laughed with Ping'er, Qingwen and others, and after bathing, Ping'er served and lay down.

It's just that I haven't closed my eyes all the time.

Listening to the sound of Ping'er's delicate breathing beside him, Jia Cong felt that it was so beautiful.

Until the beginning of the night, at about three o'clock in the morning, the cloud board of the second door suddenly knocked four times in a row.

The mourning sound was heard......
