In the final analysis, the fate of the Jia family is in the hands of Emperor Chongrui, the monarch wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, as long as Emperor Chongrui wants to clean up the Jia family, he can always find a suitable reason.

There are no eggs under the nest, if the Jia family is defeated, then as a side branch of the Jia family, it is impossible for him to have a good end, whether he is an official, a businessman or a soldier, he will be affected.

If you want to completely change the doom of the fall of the Jia family, you must have strong strength, strong enough to be able to compete with the imperial power.

The only thing that can compete with the imperial power is the military power.

As long as there is a huge army that is completely obedient to his orders, the emperor will not dare to act rashly against him, and he can even add a yellow robe and replace it.

Jia Chen clenched his fists and made up his mind to enlist in the army and take charge of the army.

It is all the more necessary to seize the time to build up and train private troops.

Of course, the imperial examination is also to be participated, the Great Zhou emphasizes literature and light martial arts, and only the title of the gold list, the first and the first, it is easier to rise to the top and obtain high-ranking officials.

In deep thought, unconsciously, I walked to the gate of the courtyard, but I heard a noisy voice from the courtyard.

Jia Chen was slightly stunned, why did so many people come to his house?

When I pushed the door in, I saw that the courtyard was crowded with people.

There are also maids and servants shuttling back and forth, adding tea and pouring water, placing cups and plates of fruits, wine and delicacies.

Mother Jia sat on the main seat, and Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu sat on either side of her.

On the seats with wingspans on both sides, there are also Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai, Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun and Jia Xichun and other female dependents.

Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian and Xue Pan sat at a table.

Wang Xifeng, Li Kun, You Shi, Lou Shi and Qin Keqing and other daughters-in-law of the Jia family sat at a table alone.

What surprised Jia Chen was that his maid Qingwen was also given a seat, and she actually sat at the same table with the daughters-in-law of the Jia family.

Maybe the masters of the Jia family thought that Qingwen had been accepted as a concubine by themselves, although she had no name, she already had skin relatives and aunts, so she was allowed to enjoy the same treatment as the daughters-in-law of the Jia family.

When he saw Jia Chen's tall figure appearing at the gate of the courtyard, Wang Xifeng, who was good at dancing with long sleeves, took the lead in standing up and smiled happily:

"Oh, the Lord is here today! Brother Chen, why don't you come over quickly? Our ancestors and we have been waiting for a long time. ”

In the eyes of everyone with different expressions of envy, jealousy, and joy, Jia Chen strode up to Jia Mu, and said with neither humility nor arrogance:

"Chen'er, please say hello to the old lady!"

Jia Mu smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth, and stretched out her hand to help:

"Don't be polite, Chen'er really gave our Jia family face! At a young age, you have been promoted to the fourth rank of the imperial guard with a sword, and you are already in the heart of the emperor, and your future is limitless, which is really gratifying! ”

Jia Chen smiled modestly and said:

"The old lady is too famous, Chen'er is the Jia family, and the honor I have won should be shared with the Jia family, and we will be happy and happy."

This time, Jia's mother led the Jia family's masters and servants to carry the plaque into the palace, and asked the old lady Zhen to help intercede, although she almost did a favor, but Jia's mother and the masters of the Jia family were out of a good intention, this love, Jia Chen has been remembered, and is naturally willing to share weal and woe with the Rong Mansion, share the honor and disgrace, and share the glory.

"Good, good! This child is really good at talking, and we are here to celebrate with you and rejoice with you. Jia's mother was full of love, her eyes showed praise and appreciation, and the more she looked at Jia Chen, the more she liked it.

Lin Daiyu had a heartfelt smile on the corner of her lips, she was happy for Jia Chen from the bottom of her heart.

Jia Chen and her eyes met, and the smiling faces of each other were reflected in the eyes of both sides, although they didn't say a word, they seemed to have spoken a thousand words, and they had the same heart and mind, and they were in love for thousands of years.

At this time, Jia Zheng stood up and greeted with a smile:

"Chen'er, come and sit next to me, I made you a cup of Lu'an tea with my own hands, I hope you and our Jia family can be safe and smooth, happy and healthy."

As soon as these words came out, the people around them secretly smacked their tongues and were envious.

Jia Zheng, the second master, actually poured tea for Jia Chen with his own hands, which shows how much he values and loves Jia Chen!

Jia Baoyu snorted and complained:

"Father, you are eccentric, you have never made me tea before!"

As soon as these words came out, Jia Zheng suddenly became angry, jumped like thunder, and angrily reprimanded:

"You maggot obstacle and uncreated seed, you dare to call your father one by one, you are really disobedient and unfilial!"

Hearing this, Jia Chen secretly felt funny, in the world of Red Mansions, the title is so strange.

Whether it is a junior or a slave, for the elder or the master, you can't use the second person "you" to address each other, you can only call each other by their position in Jiafu.

It is also not possible to use the second person "you".

Because in this era, the title "you" is just a common name, not an honorific title, and the pronunciation and interpretation are both "恁" ("nen" three sounds), which means "you" or "you".

In the original work, the title "you" does not appear throughout the text, only when the little opera Zi Fangguan sang the opera "When Enjoying the Flowers", four "you" (nen) characters appeared in a row in the song.

At this moment, as soon as Jia Zheng heard that Jia Baoyu dared to call him his father with the word "you", he was immediately furious and continued to scold:

"This unfortunate son, as soon as he encounters danger, he runs away first! Compared with Chen'er, it is simply a sparrow than a phoenix, and he is not even worthy of lifting shoes for others! ”

What he was referring to was that Jia Mu led the master and servant of the Jia family to rush to the palace on the way to the palace, and when they were assassinated, Jia Baoyu and Jia Lian left everyone behind and fled on horseback.

Jia Zheng was already holding back the fire in his belly, and wanted to find time to applaud Jia Baoyu, but he didn't expect that Jia Baoyu's disrespectful and disrespectful words detonated the raging anger in Jia Zheng's heart.

Hearing Jia Zheng's reprimand, Jia Lian's face instantly turned red, and he was so ashamed that he was ashamed.

This sentence not only scolded Jia Baoyu, but also scolded him with him.

Jia Lian hung his head and drooped his head, like sitting on pins and needles, his heart seemed to be fried in oil, but he didn't dare to attack.

Jia Zheng is his uncle, even if Jia Zheng pointed at his nose and scolded, he, a nephew, could only listen obediently and did not dare to refute.

Da Zhou is very particular about respect and humility, and it is natural for the elders to reprimand the younger generations.

In the face of Jia Zheng's scolding, Jia Baoyu was so frightened that she trembled, for fear of being beaten, so she hurriedly got into Jia's mother's arms, like a twisted candy, shaking her head and tail.

Jia's mother has always doted on Jia Baoyu, and immediately said:

"Alright, alright! Today is a day of great joy for Chen'er and our Jia family, if you teach your son not to look at the time, look at my Baoyu to scare, if you scare him out of a bad way, then I won't live! ”

Jia Zheng hurriedly knelt on the ground and apologized:

"It's all because my son and son are so anxious that I collided with the old lady, and I asked the old lady to take care of her precious body, don't be angry."

Jia Baoyu shrank in Jia's mother's arms, squinting at Jia Zheng with a stealing eye, and a smug smile rose at the corner of her lips.

Jia Mu waved her hand and said:

"If you don't beat and scold my Baoyu in the future, it is the greatest filial piety to me, our Jia family has been punished, and today I will punish you for pouring tea and pouring wine for Chen'er!"

Her words were slightly ridiculous, and the masters and servants around her smiled in agreement when they saw the wind and rudder.

"Do as the old lady commands!" Jia Zheng bowed, got up and returned to his seat and sat down, and personally added a little tea to Jia Chen.

"Thank you, Second Uncle!" Jia Chen thanked him and envied others.

Xue Pan used to have a little disagreement with Jia Chen, he spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, worried that Jia Chen would hold a grudge and wait for an opportunity to retaliate, so he hurriedly hunched over and ran to Jia Chen, and said with a sneer:

"Congratulations to Brother Chen, on the occasion of this benefit, Brother Fool gave Brother Chen a big gift!"

With that, he turned his head and shouted:

"Xiangling, come here, I've seen your new master, Uncle Chen!"

His voice fell, and he saw a timid maid walking over.

Jia Chen was slightly stunned, it turned out that this was Xiangling.

The eyebrows are frowning in the spring mountain, the eyes are autumn water, and the eyebrows are delicate, and there is a little rouge the size of a grain in the eyebrows.

Her appearance is fresh and aura, and her eyebrows and eyes are quite similar to Qin Keqing.

It's just that his body bones are weaker and slenderer than Qin Keqing's, and there is a faint sadness between his eyebrows.

Xue Pan smiled and took out a deed, held it with both hands and handed it to Jia Chen:

"Brother Chen, this is Xiangling's deed of sale, in the future, she will serve Brother Chen."
