The main hall of Ningguo Mansion, Ning Ji Hall.

This is the first time Jia Lu has entered Ning Ji Hall, but he saw that there was a three-foot-high blue-green bronze tripod on the large case of golden silk nanmu, hanging to be leaked with a large painting of the ink dragon of the dynasty, on one side is Jin Yi, on the other side is a glass table, behind is a six-foot-high eight-fold ink landscape marble screen, and the ground is also a thick Persian carpet.

The layout of the whole room is similar to that of Rongxi Hall in Rongguo Mansion, but it is more luxurious.

What made Jia Lu particularly interested was that there was a brass lotus flower on the gold-painted pillar, and a lotus leaf the size of a wheel on top of it, like a trumpet flower, facing the center, which seemed to be a little out of line with other arrangements.

There is also such a copper lotus in Rongxi Hall, what is the symbolic meaning of this?

Jia Zhen was sitting on the middle chair, holding a small porcelain bottle in her left hand, and picking up a little snuff with the inch-long nail of her little finger with her right hand and inhaling it in one gulp.

"Brother Jane, please." Jia Lu shook his hand.

I don't know if it's because of Jia Lu's greeting in this life, Jia Zhen, who smoked snuff, tilted her head and opened her mouth to sneeze but didn't come out, and finally rubbed her nose vigorously after a while and smiled: "Brother Lu is here?" Sit! Let's see how about Big Brother's new thing? ”

Saying that, Jia Zhen handed the snuffbox to Jia Lu.

It turned out to be a glass snuff box, and a red-striped Western woman was painted on the front, with graceful blonde hair and blue eyes, and her long hair hung down to block the key parts. On the other side is the back picture of this blonde beauty, with a bee waist and fat buttocks that are undoubtedly leaking.

Jia Lu glanced at it and smiled back to Jia Zhen: "It's a rare thing, I don't know why they foreigners have yellow hair?" ”

Jia Zhen smiled and took it and played with it and said, "I just don't know if the hair in other places on this Western woman's body is also so golden, when should I see it~"

Jia Lu naturally didn't want to discuss the issue of coat color with this old color critic, so he asked, "Isn't Brother Zhen the host today?" Why haven't you seen the guests coming, dare to love me too early? ”

Jia Zhen laughed: "Why is there no one, isn't it all here?" ”

Jia Lu was a little surprised and said, "What, the eldest brother said that he had a treat, but he only invited me alone?" ”

Jia Zhen patted Jia Lu on the shoulder and said, "Didn't my brother let the mother-in-law pass the word?"

I'm just going to ask you for now! Isn't it to congratulate you?

My brother knows that you are impatient to socialize with those messy people, so it is only the two of us brothers who have a few drinks, how about it? ”

Jia Lu smiled reluctantly: "This ...... How can I afford it? ”

Jia Zhen laughed: "What is there to forbid, let's go, let's go to the table!" ”

Saying that, he took Jia Lu to the Little Flower Hall, and there was already a table of eight immortals in the middle, and sure enough, there were only two chairs.

Four meats, four vegetables, preserved fruits and snacks have been placed on the table, and there are also four little maids who have left their heads next to them.

The two of them sat down, and their own little maid came to pour wine, Jia Lu hurriedly stopped: "Brother Zhen, this wine is free, I won't drink it, I'm afraid I'm out of shape." ”

Jia Zhen said: "Hey! How can this great joy be without wine? Full on full! If you really can't, just eat this one! ”

Jia Lu couldn't, so she had to pour someone a glass.

Jia Zhen only had one look, and a maid went down to pass the food, and after a while, plates of hot dishes were served.

Bear paws, deer tendons, sea cucumber shark fins, Jia Lu was stunned.

"Brother Zhen, it's just the two of us, how can we eat so much?"

Jia Zhen smiled: "Hey, what's this?" My brother didn't know what you liked to eat, so he simply asked the kitchen to pick it up and make a few things.

You don't have to be restrained, this is how your brother's family holds banquets on weekdays. Come on, come on, drink! ”

Jia Lu sighed in his heart, no wonder Ning Guofu lost quickly! Is it okay to guard such a master?

Thinking about it again, it seems that the pomp and circumstance of Rongguo Mansion is not small, and the population is large, and in two years, a large view garden will be built to welcome Jia Yuanchun's relatives, which is a lot of expenses, which directly led to the appearance of a child in Rongguo Mansion.

Seeing that Jia Zhen had already drunk all the wine in the cup, Jia Lu had to pick up the wine glass and take a sip to make a painful expression.

Jia Zhen laughed heartily when she saw it: "Sure enough, the third brother has never eaten wine, so he came to eat and press!" ”

As he spoke, he was going to serve vegetables to Jia Lu.

Jia Lu hurriedly said: "I'll just come by myself." As he spoke, he took a piece of deer tendon in his mouth.

"I said a long time ago, third brother, you are very smart and hardworking, and you will definitely be able to make a big difference in the future, how can you say it this time?

After only studying for more than a year, I won the first case in the county exam! If you think about it again for three or five years, will you pay it back!

I'm afraid that being a champion is indispensable, and when the time comes, I will enter the cabinet to pay respects, but it will be a great scenery~"

Jia Lu laughed along, thinking in her heart whether Jia Zhen learned this line from Jia Huan or Jia Huan from Jia Zhen?

Jia Zhen saw that Jia Lu was not very interested in these flattering words, so she said again: "It's not interesting to just eat and drink, call those little girls up and sing a few songs to Lu Sanye!" ”

The maid agreed and went out, and sure enough, after a while, she brought in four handsome young men who were no more than ten years old and gave Jia Zhen a salute.

Jia Zhen pointed at Jia Lu and said to the four of them: "Go and greet you Third Master Lu, the third master is my honored guest today, you have to entertain me!"

Sing me all your best personal songs! ”

The captive prostitution of children in the Dayu Dynasty was not a scandal, and it was even a social phenomenon generally accepted by the scholar class.

Not only men, but also grandmothers and wives turn a blind eye to this kind of thing, and sometimes even encourage their husbands to find child prostitutes.

Because they knew that child prostitution was nothing more than a plaything, unlike a concubine or a prostitute, that child prostitution would not endanger their position.

The prostitute will not give birth to a concubine to compete for the status of the concubine and the family property.

Since ancient times, there have only been those who spoil concubines and kill wives, and I have never heard of those who spoil and kill their wives.

However, Jia Lu couldn't stand this. Seeing that a few little guys were singing and trying to pour wine for themselves, Jia Lu simply took the wine glass and put it on the table, pressing it with her hand.

"Brother Zhen, my brother really can't eat and drink, and he doesn't like to listen to these songs, he just thinks it's noisy."

Seeing Jia Lu like this, Jia Zhen waved her hand to let a few little guys go down, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Brother Lu is still a child and doesn't understand the fun here, it's a pity, it's a pity!"

There are two little girls in my brother's backyard who have just been bought, and they have just learned to sing for a few days, and they haven't broken yet, why don't you let them come over to serve? ”

"No need, isn't it okay for the eldest brother to talk quietly with me for a while?"

Jia Lu really couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in Jia Zhen's gourd, did she want to get drunk and then have a drunken sex, it's as simple as that?

Isn't he afraid that he will sue him in front of Jia Mu or Jia Zheng?
