Chapter 13: The Banquet

In the evening, Jia Lian gave an explanation to Wang Xifeng, and took Xing'er and a few entourages to Yichun Building, and then asked for the largest private room under the leadership of Xiao Er of the courtesy shop, dismissed the entourage to eat outside, and waited in the box.

Besides, Jia Zhen from Ningguo Mansion received Jia Lian's invitation in the morning, looking at the word Jia Lian on the invitation, it seemed that he felt that his shoulders and buttocks were still aching.

But think about the deal that Jia Lian said before, if it is really like what he said, it is really a long-term good deal with a lot of profits!

Go! Or not going?

To save face! Or do you want silver?

Jia Zhen walked in the study, turned her head and saw Jia Rong in the corner who didn't dare to come out, and asked thoughtlessly: "Look at your frosted eggplant, what about your daughter-in-law?" Why didn't you come to me in the morning to say hello? ”

"She packed up early in the morning and went back to her parents' house." Jia Rong replied cautiously, for fear of angering Jia Zhen's moldy head.

But he didn't expect that the more he was careful at this moment, the more he couldn't make Jia Zhen satisfied.

I heard Jia Zhen immediately scold: "Why didn't she see anyone come to tell her when she went back to her parents' house!" You useless thing, you can't even control your own daughter-in-law, what use do you say you have to live in the world! ”

Such vicious words, even if Jia Rong is used to being scolded, she is almost unbearable, but Jia Rong, who is already afraid that her son is afraid of the bone marrow, still does not dare to resist in the end, and finally has to answer bitterly: "Don't be angry, master, I slept in the guest room last night, and I didn't know that she was leaving, and today it was just the jewel girl who told me, I didn't see her shadow and she went by herself." ”

"It's really a waste thing, you can go and pick up your daughter-in-law later, and then go with me to Yichun Tower in the evening to attend your second uncle's banquet." Jia Zhen finally decided to ask for silver and lose face.

Jia Rong heard that Jia Zhen was going to eat Jia Lian's banquet at night, she couldn't believe her ears, last night Second Uncle Lian gave his master a butt squat, gave himself a big slap, and even scolded the people in charge of Ning Guofu, with his master's temperament, it would be good not to think about revenge, after all, it was still a family, but if he went to eat someone else's banquet today, wouldn't it be an indirect bow and admit defeat!

Is this still the boss of his own second child that day? I hate myself, why don't I have the ability of Second Uncle Lian!

Thinking of this, Jia Rong forgot to answer Jia Zhen's order for a while.

Immediately, Jia Zhen roared: "Are you deaf or dumb?" Or do you want to learn from your disobedient second uncle Lian and also want to turn the sky upside down! You don't look at what kind of character you are, and you don't have a little look at me and kill you with a few sticks, and you don't have to go out with me and be embarrassed! ”

"Yes, yes, yes, master, I heard it, so I'll go out and prepare." Jia Rong said, hurriedly hunched over and retreated.

When Jia Zhen and Jia Rong came to Yichun Building, they saw Jia Lian talking with several sons.

How can there be outsiders? Jia Zhen thought about it and glanced at it quickly, and found that he knew all of them, it was Niu Fu, the son of the first-class Bo Niu Jizong of the Zhenguo Mansion, Liu Hui, the son of Hou Liufang, the first-class son of the Liguo Mansion, and Ma Sheng, the son of Ma Shang, the third-class Weiyuan general of the Zhiguo Mansion.

These three people are all the sons in law of the Eight Princes' Mansions, although they are only wearing this false position like Jia Lian now, but at least they are important in their respective families.

It turned out that in the morning, Jia Lian not only sent an invitation to Jia Zhen, but also sent an invitation to a prince from the other six national mansions, but only three people were present, and those who did not come also made people go back and forth saying that they were not idle today, and they would invite another day.

The four people in the box found that Jia Zhen and Jia Rong had arrived, stood up in unison, bowed their hands and said, "Brother Zhen is late today, you must be fined three glasses of wine, and Brother Rong must also accompany you." ”

Jia Zhen also cleaned up her mood at the moment and promised: "It's easy to say, I have been waiting for you for a long time." After saying that, he was given his seat by the crowd.

As soon as she sat down, Jia Zhen saw that Jia Rong was also about to sit down, thinking that today she didn't know that Jia Lian had invited someone else, but now it was boring to bring her son by her side.

So he opened his mouth and said, "How can you be embarrassed to sit down, don't you see that all of you are your uncles?" Why don't you go and stand aside and pour wine and wait, something that doesn't look good! ”

As soon as these words fell, Jia Rong was suddenly unable to sit or stand, and she was embarrassed and at a loss.

The rest of the people hurriedly persuaded together, and finally only heard Ma Sheng say: "Brother Zhen's tutor is really too strict, who doesn't know that Brother Rong is a filial person, and we have no outsiders here today, where is Brother Rong used to pour wine and add food, if it weren't for Brother Jia Lian's explanation, there would be serious discussions when Brother Zhen arrived, so I ordered not to disturb the quietness of the girls." ”

Jia Zhen was praised by Ma Sheng, and she was a little complacent in her heart, and said: "Brother Ma Sheng, don't praise him, we are drinking here and letting him serve him is also lifting him." ”

Jia Lian saw that Jia Rong still had no spineless spirit as before, and suddenly no longer had the slightest hope for him in his heart, and immediately stood up and said: "Since Brother Zhen asked Brother Rong to serve, Brother Rong is waiting on the side, and today you brothers are willing to appreciate your face, please have a drink together first to express Lian's gratitude." ”

"Brother Jia Lian is too polite." "Who doesn't know the name of the Jia Lian brothers in Kyoto now." "It's done!"

The five of them had a drink, and Jia Rong on the side hurriedly lifted the wine jug and poured it for everyone.

I only heard Jia Lian say again: "Okay! This second glass of wine I want to toast my brother Zhen alone, yesterday Jia Lian was drunk, and he actually collided with Brother Zhen without a trace, this glass of wine is a wine for Brother Zhen's sins, and I also ask Brother Zhen to forgive my brother's lack of virtue after drinking, I did it, Brother Zhen is free. ”

After speaking, Jia Lian drank a glass of wine.

Although Niu Fu, Liu Hui, and Ma Sheng didn't know what was going on, they saw that Jia Lian was full of sincerity, and they also coaxed Jia Zhen to quickly drink a glass of wine and turn the conflict into a jade silk.

Jia Zhen got face, glanced at Jia Rong next to her triumphantly, and then said: "Why do you and my brother need to say these extraneous words, I drank too much yesterday, and I forgot about it when I came together this morning, it's just that, if I don't drink it, you won't feel at ease, I'll just drink it." After speaking, he also drank a glass of wine.

Everyone immediately said yes in unison.

Jia Rong poured wine on the side to observe, and couldn't figure out why Jia Lian was so condescending, was she really afraid of her own master? I'm afraid it may not be.

After three rounds of drinking, seeing that Jia Lian didn't mention the business, Ma Sheng couldn't sit still at first, and only heard him say: "Brothers, I think the matter of drinking is still slow for the time being, Brother Jia Lian still don't sell Guan Zi anymore, and when we talk about the right thing, we can settle down and drink for fun." ”

The crowd echoed again.

Jia Lian saw that the time was almost up, and saw that he said first: "Brothers, don't be impatient, wait for me to let people get two things, and then we will talk about business slowly." ”

Then he shouted to the door of the box: "Xing'er, Wang'er, bring things in." ”

After a while, the door of the box opened, and what Xing'er and Wang'er brought in were the two things that Jia Lian had made some time ago, but they were the coal stove and honeycomb coal, which were very common and popular in later generations.
