Chapter Eighty-Three: Old Lady, Times Have Changed
The red-lacquered gate of Rongguo Mansion is still closed as tightly as ever.
Not only was there no celebration with lights, but no one greeted them outside the house.
It seems that the return of Li Yunze, who has revitalized the majesty of the Jia family, is a thing that is not worth rejoicing at all. If this had been a different home, it would have been full of lights and firecrackers.
"A group of sand sculptures." Li Yunze, who was on horseback, turned his head to look at the guards around him, "Everyone, wearing armor." ”
All the relatives and soldiers responded violently, and they all turned over and dismounted and began to put on their armor.
Li Yunze's armor is different from everyone else, it is a carburized alloy steel armor that is specially ordered at a high price.
Not only is it lightweight, extremely strong, but also very brightly polished, and it is also laser-engraved with extremely fine moire.
Worn on the body, it is called a heroic and mighty person.
"Go."
Li Yunze, who was wearing iron gloves, raised his horsewhip and pointed to the middle door, "Open the door!" ”
The head of the family can only open the middle door when he goes home, and Li Yunze's thoughts are obvious.
"What is this?" Lai Da, who was hiding in the corner gate and peeking, saw that Li Yunze was actually here, and hurriedly took a group of servants out to stop him, "In front of the Rongguo Gate, don't make a mistake!" ”
As the chief housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion and the son of the old lady marrying the maid, Lai Da is extremely dignified on the entire Rongning Street.
Jia Ping, who led the team, had a flexible mind, and suddenly saw Lai Da, who was comparable to the master in the past, and actually subconsciously stopped.
The group of pro-soldiers behind him naturally stopped.
Lai Da, who was still a little afraid, immediately showed a smug smile when he saw this, "Who should I be, isn't this Jia Ping in the back street, you are out of luck, dare to smash Rongguo's face..."
Jia Ping, who came back to her senses, secretly complained: "I'm going to be unlucky." ’
Sure enough, before he could make up for it and kick Lai Da, he heard Li Yunze's scolding from behind him, "Jia Ping, get here!" ”
Jia Ping stomped her feet angrily, glared at Lai Da fiercely, turned around and ran to Li Yunze's horse and bowed down, "General!" ”
The whip pointed at him, and Li Yunze immediately ordered, "Reward him with twenty whips." ”
The surrounding soldiers immediately rushed up, first stripped Jia Ping's armor, then pressed it to the ground, and whipped it over.
Jia Ping did not resist, and silently lay on the ground to endure the screams.
By the end of the twenty lashes, there was a bloody paste on his back.
Enduring the severe pain, Jia Ping trembled and saluted, "Thank you, General, Jia Ping knows that he is wrong." ”
"If you don't respect the military order, you will not be spared!"
It is precisely because Li Yunze is willing to spend money that he feeds all the soldiers and soldiers of his own army, and he is even more meticulous in strict military orders.
If he can't do it, then he spends so much silver, won't it become a joke.
Raising his eyes and seeing Xue Pan who was eager to try not far away, Li Yunze's horsewhip pointed over. ”
Xue Pan, who was excited, immediately responded loudly, and rushed forward with an axe.
Before Lai Da could speak, the stunned Xue Pan had already raised his axe and slashed over.
This really scared him to pee, and he ran to the corner door.
Xue Pan, who had seen blood on the battlefield, was really leng, and chased him directly with an axe.
Passing through the corner gate, he was still pulled back by his companions.
Li Yunze's order was to open the middle gate, and they had to carry out the military order first, instead of chasing and beheading people.
The red lacquer door was opened, and after glancing at the two stone lions in front of the Jiafu gate, Li Yunze walked straight inside.
Cross the shadow wall, cross the flower gate, and walk the verandah.
Hundreds of armor soldiers poured in, and the servants and maids along the way were like ghosts.
The people in Jiafu, who are used to enjoying it, have never seen such a murderous army.
All the way to the atrium of Rongxi Hall, the place where the maids and servants were standing in the past was empty, and there was no one there.
The curtain of the door was opened, and the pretty golden mandarin duck walked out.
"Second master."
Looking at Li Yunze, who was dressed in silver armor and had a vigorous demeanor, the pretty face of the mandarin duck flew and flushed, "The old lady called you in." ”
"Wait here." Li Yunze instructed the people around him to wait in the atrium.
stepped forward and passed by the mandarin duck who lifted the curtain, Li Yunze returned her with a smile.
Jia Mu sat high, with a few side dishes on the coffee table beside her, obviously eating before.
Jia Zheng and his wife and Wang Xifeng are all sitting in the lower head, Daiyu Sanchun and Dabao face, looking around Jia's mother.
As for Nalaida, he fell to the ground and was crying and complaining.
Jia Mu, who had an unswerving expression, was slightly stunned when she saw Li Yunze coming in.
Since Jia Daishan's death, the Jia family has not had a child wearing armor for many years.
Dabao's face swept at Li Yunze, and he was photographed by the heroic spirit on his body, and unnaturally looked away and muttered, "It's turbid and smelly." ”
Daiyu and Sanchun had different expressions, but they both looked at each other quietly.
They had never seen such a heroic son.
As for Wang Xifeng, he was already straight-eyed.
"Ancestor, you have to make decisions for me." Lai Da, who threw himself on the ground, wiped his tears and wailed, "I was almost beheaded by that group of reckless men." ”
Li Yunze didn't care about him at all, his eyes fell on Sister Lin's body.
I haven't seen her for a while, and Sister Lin has become more and more smart.
has not experienced Lin Ruhai's death, and Xue Baochai has not come to grab Dabao's face. She is not the bitter funeral flower Lin Daiyu.
"Brother Lian." Jia Mu held her breath: "What are you going to do?" ”
"What did I do?" Li Yunze spread his hands, "Just go home." ”
His indifferent demeanor made Jia's mother more and more unhappy, "Why do you want to kill Lai Da?" ”
"When I went home, a servant wouldn't let me in." Li Yunze, who added an accent to the word servant, looked calm, "Such a great rebel should be eliminated." ”
Mrs. Wang, who was also holding her breath and felt that her baby bump was being compared, seized the opportunity to ridicule "Brother Lian is so powerful~~~"
"So what?"
Li Yunze's expression was slightly condensed, and his eyes swept over, "I am a third-grade general of the imperial court, and the emperor personally conferred the title of a third-grade general, why can't I have official authority!" ”
"You..."Mrs. Wang, who was squeezed, almost broke her work.
"Bastard!" The furious Jia Mu slapped the table directly: "Your majesty can't play at home!" ”
"This is Rongguo Mansion, and I am the inheritor of Rongguo Mansion." Li Yunze looked at Jia Mu with a strange expression, "Why can't you be majestic at home?" ”
Hearing this, Sister Lin held back a smile and didn't look over. ’
Jia's mother's heart was depressed, and she couldn't speak for a while.
Over there, Li Yunze looked at Jia Zheng, "Second uncle." ”
"Huh?" Jia Zheng, who was in a daze, was stunned, "Brother Lian, what's the matter?" ”
"When the emperor was knighted and ordered me to be the lord of Ningguo, was the second uncle present?"
"Yes."
"Why don't you refuse?"
Jia Zheng became more and more puzzled: "Why do you refuse?" The title of Xifu is undecided, and now it is back in the hands of the Jia family, which is a good thing. ”
Li Yunze shook his head and sighed, and stomped his feet, "Alas~~~"
This style, Jia's mother, who watched it, was upset, "You have a benefit, don't sell here." ”
"The title of Xifu is owned by the Jia family, so what if it is undecided. Playing together with all the nobles, it still has to be sent down. ”
Li Yunze shook his head again and again: "If the emperor really wants to be knighted, give the Jia family a door and three knights." Now take the things that belong to the Jia family to reward, not to mention the credit that swallowed me, in the future, the Dongfu side will inherit the title, and the Jia family with two lords will only have one title left. What a good means. ”
"Huh?" Jia Zheng opened his mouth, only to feel tightness in his chest.
The titles handed down by the ancestors are not only not more, but less?
He clutched his chest, his face flushed with breath.
glanced at Jia's mother, who was beside her, and turned her head and said, "Since this is the case, then let Baoyu inherit the title of Dongfu at that time." It just so happens that you two brothers are on one side, just like the ancestors back then. ”
As soon as these words came out, Jia Baoyu turned his head and pouted, Wang Xifeng lowered his head and gritted his silver teeth, but Mrs. Wang pinched the armrest of the Huanghuali chair tightly, and her finger joints turned white, as if she wanted to crush the armrest.
The thoughts of each person can be seen from this.
Jia Zhenggang wanted to refuse, but Li Yunze had already spoken, "You think this title is a carp in the Wei River, you can fiddle with it as much as you want?" ”
"Several generations of emperors have worked hard to reduce their titles, and now that they finally have the opportunity, how can they give up so easily."
Li Yunze waved his hand impatiently, "If you want the title to have merit in your hands, either you can enter the imperial examination and achieve meritorious deeds, or you can abandon your pen and make immortal contributions from Rong, so that the emperor has nothing to say." You old words, give the title to this and that, you are the queen mother. ”
These words are true, the first Buddha who made Jia's mother angry was born, and the second Buddha ascended to heaven.
"It's the other way around." She slapped the coffee table again and again, and scolded angrily, "You have stiff wings, and you can't do it if you want to go against the grain." Come on, take it down for me and put it in the ancestral hall! ”
Madame Wang looked sarcastic and rejoiced.
Daiyu and the others hesitated, but they didn't know what to say.
As for Wang Xifeng, he suddenly got up and wanted to persuade. But he gave Jia Mu a look and sat back.
Lai Da, who was still crying on the ground before, jumped up when he heard the words, and walked over with a cruel smile, "Second master, I'm sorry." Small..."
'Smack! ’
Li Yunze raised his hand and threw it over.
He was wearing iron gloves, and a slap directly fanned Lai Da's back molars and flew out.
"What cats, dogs, and four dare to yell in front of me, and think it's the past?" Li Yunze, who kicked Lai Da to the ground, sneered and looked at Mother Jia, "Old lady, times have changed." ”
He shouted, "Come in!" ”
Outside, there was a sudden sound of sonorous armor leaves crashing, and a large number of armor soldiers poured into the Rongxi Hall like a tide.
These people have all been on the battlefield and seen blood, holding steel knives and wearing iron armor, all of them are like tigers out of the cage.
Everyone in the hall was trembling with fright.
"Jia Lian!"
Jia Mu, who was really enraged, scolded angrily, "You are so bold!" I'm going to enter the palace with a lot of makeup and sue you for unfilial piety! ”
Jia's mother's trick to control the Jia family is that she, as a super-grade duchess, can enter the palace to sue.
Once you are crowned with the hat of unfilial piety, you will immediately be ruined.
"Mandarin ducks." Li Yunze, who was not afraid, beckoned the mandarin duck who returned to serve Jia's mother, "You go and get that big makeup now, go!" ”
"Scare me with this?"
Li Yunze waved his horsewhip and raised his head proudly, "I'm not a waste who eats and waits for death!" I fought my military exploits from birth to death! ”
"Sue me? Then go and see which noble person in the palace will help you speak. I really think I am the queen mother, I am the leading general! ”
Jia Ping, who was beaten before, was also eager to express, "Old lady, if you make the Jia family abandon the title, what kind of face do you have to go to see the ancestors of the Jia family?" Aren't you afraid to invite the mage to do things in the ancestral hall, and invite the ancestors of the Jia family to come to you? ”
Jia Mu was really angry, she covered her heart and panted loudly, and suddenly turned her back on her breath.
In the Rongxi Hall, there was a big chaos all of a sudden.
