Chapter 451: Xin Lei (Reward for 150425224207023)
Jia Daishan's 60th birthday, there are really a lot of guests who come to pay their respects. Just after midday, many guests had already arrived, and by the time it was nearly noon, the water on Ningrong Street had been blocked by cars and horses.
Today's birthday banquet, without Jia's mother "sitting in charge" and without Wang's "help", Xiao Zhang's wife, the prince of Rongguo, is busy and does not touch the ground. Fortunately, Jia Min and a group of capable maids helped on the side, so that nothing went wrong with the birthday banquet.
Today's Jia Yu is already the son of Rongguo Gong, the rightful heir of Rongguo Mansion, and the next generation of Rongguo Gong. You must know that those generals who followed the emperor to conquer the northwest, and the princes who were knighted were the only ones who could attack the country without being demoted for three generations, and this kind of grace was absolutely unique! And Jia Yu's status has naturally risen, most of the outsiders used to hold Jia Yu because of Jia Daishan's power, but now there are many people who are currying favor with Jia Yu because of the stable position of Rongguo Mansion.
But today's Jia Yu is no longer the gentleman who ignored everything and only knew pleasure. Jia Yu is still lustful, and he still likes to spend a lot of money collecting antiques, but he is much more restrained than before, and he no longer has the grandeur and arrogance of the past. Many people with good intentions have seen Jia Yu's changes now, but they are more confident in the future of Rongguo Mansion, and the people who have made friends have surrounded Jia Yu in the middle of the three layers and the outer three floors.
Although Jia Yu is not a martial artist, he has lived in a noble family since he was a child, and he can still deal with such a scene easily.
Jia Lian was also entrusted with an important task today, and Jia Daishan ordered him to lead Jia Zhu, Lin Lang, Lin Yu brothers, and Jia Susu's son to entertain the sons of their generation. Jia Lian, the little master, is very conscientious, and he is also comfortable in socializing with people.
There are very young sons who are very curious about Lin Yao, the prince of Yan, and they all want to make friends with Lin Yao. But it's a pity that Lin Yao is a very cold person, not good at socializing with people, and always has a cold little face at a young age, which makes people unconsciously want to stay away from him three feet away.
Those sons who ran into a wall here in Lin Lang turned back to talk to Lin Lang, Lin Lang is a person who loves to talk and laugh, but he has a dark belly in his heart, those who want to talk from him, not only did not come up with any useful words, but accidentally let Lin Lang take away a lot of secrets in the major families in the capital.
Jia Susu's son is named Xin Lei, he is thirteen years old this year, he and his sister Xin Qing look with their Xin family, and they are not outstanding. When Jia Susu was carried back yesterday, they frightened their brother and sister, and when Xiao Zhang went to visit, he told them that Jia Susu accidentally fell and hit his head on the rockery and was injured. Later, he invited the imperial doctor to bandage the wound and prescribed a decoction, and Xiao Zhang specially arranged a few more maids to serve Jia Susu. Xin Lei and Xin Qing brothers and sisters didn't know what happened, they really thought it was Jia Susu's accidentally broken head, and they were very grateful to Xiao Zhang's for such meticulous and thoughtful care. But later, the housekeeper Ou Qiang personally brought people over, saying that Jia Daishan ordered Jia Susu to be sent to Zhuangzi outside the city to recuperate, and Xin Qing also went with him. This approach made the two brothers and sisters very dissatisfied, and they also reasoned with Ou Qiang, and Ou Qiang finally said that he would take them to ask Jia Daishan in person, and they had no choice but to stop.
It has been several months since he followed his mother Jia Susu to the capital, Xin Lei followed Jia Lian out to get together with the sons of those high-ranking families, and then I don't know why, Jia Lian was no longer invited to attend those gatherings, saying that he wanted to prepare for the children's exam at home. Xin Lei knew that Jia Lian planned to return to Yangzhou with Jia Min after Jia Daishan's 60th birthday, and followed Lin Ruhai to read books for a year and a half, and also traveled to increase his knowledge by the way. In this way, he suddenly stopped going out to visit friends, anyone would be suspicious, and Xin Lei also guessed that Jia Lian didn't want to take him out. Xin Lei was very disappointed and told Jia Susu his conjectures, but Jia Susu asked him to often go to Jia Lian's courtyard to find him, Xin Lei has been very obedient since he was a child, and he really went to find Jia Lian every day in the name of asking for homework, and then Jia Lian didn't dare to stay in his own yard, so he had to stay with Mr. all day long, and he didn't want to go back until it was dark. Who would have thought that Jia Lian would make a lot of progress by studying "diligently" every day, and Mr. let him take a small test, but he really let him take the test as a child, which made Jia Daishan very happy.
Xin Lei is very envious of those noble sons in the capital, he also wants to be as flamboyant and wanton as them, as handsome and elegant as them, he always wants to follow behind those noble sons uncontrollably and say something that can make them laugh, which makes him feel inexplicably recognized.
Xin Lei is not a bad boy, he was born at the bottom and has an innate fear and yearning for aristocrats. The environment he lives in is actually relatively simple, and there are not so many intrigues, which makes him a little out of place with those princes and grandchildren. Xin Lei didn't understand the rules of getting along with nobles, and followed Jia Lian out to make a lot of jokes, and others didn't embarrass him because of Rongguofu's affection, but they also secretly excluded him from their circle.
Xin Lei didn't understand, and stupidly felt that he was very happy to go out with Jia Lian, but how could Jia Lian, as the future owner of Rongguo Mansion, not understand it? Jia Lian couldn't refute Jia Susu's aunt's face, but he really didn't want to take Xin Lei out with him anymore, so he had to refuse other people's invitations and couldn't go out.
Xin Lei had very complicated feelings about the three brothers of the Lin family, on the one hand, he felt that the brothers of the Lin family were the most outstanding among the noble sons he had ever seen, and he was proud to have such three cousins; On the other hand, he felt inferior and unwilling because of the huge gap between the two, and they were also the grandsons of Rong Guogong, why could the three brothers of the Lin family become the people he always looked up to?
At today's birthday banquet, when Jia Lian introduced these cousins to others, it was clear that he was the eldest, but he had to introduce his cousin after introducing the Lin family brothers. And those guests didn't say a word to Xin Lei except for the first ceremony. Those people were all around Jia Lian and the Lin family brothers, and Xin Lei at this time seemed to be a completely neglected existence, and some people even mistook him for a subordinate to instruct him to do things. It was Jia Zhu who found out that something was wrong on the side, so he stepped forward to explain, and the man turned around and left after apologizing lightly, without any sincerity.
