Chapter Seventy-One: The Zhen Family in Jinling
Where Great Xia was founded, Emperor Taizu Gao once set the capital of Jinling. The two mansions of Ningrong also came from Jinling, and Emperor Taizong went north with the court.
To this day, Jinling is still the most prosperous place in Great Xia except for the capital, and even surpasses other places in Great Xia in terms of prosperity, including Jingshi.
Merchants gathered on the dock, and many merchants from the south to the north looked curiously at Jia Cong, who resembled a python robe, and the majestic Yu Linlang, whispering but not daring to approach.
Jia Cong swept around, but did not see any Jinling people coming to greet him, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
However, he still controlled his emotions, bowed back to Xue Pan, and asked, "Brother Xue, how is the Zhen family going?" ”
Yes?
Xue Pan's eyes widened, and he asked suspiciously: "It's all in Jinling, Brother Cong won't go to my house?" ”
Jia Cong pointed to the boxes guarded by Yu Linlang, and said with a wry smile: "I must finish the errand assigned by the sage first, and then go to see my aunt." ”
As soon as I heard Jia Cong say the word sage, I glanced at the mighty and solemn Yu Linlang again, and remembered the Jingguan in front of the city gate of Huai'an Mansion.
Hiss! Why do I want to throw up again?
Xue Pan shuddered and nodded again and again: "That's right, the errand is important, the errand is important...... Brother, I will lead the way, although my family and the Zhen family have not had much contact over the years, but I mostly go to give gifts during the New Year's Festival, and the road is very ......familiar."
The Jinling Zhen family is also after the meritorious service. Although it is not as noble as the Jia family, during the Taiping Rejuvenation period, there was a legendary figure.
Today's edict is the Holy Lady, the nurse of the Emperor Taishang, and the ancestor of the Zhen family!
In the later period of the Taiping Rejuvenation Dynasty, the harem was overturned, and Liu Ji, who was still the little prince, lived to the death of Emperor Taizong under the protection of this nurse and ascended to the throne.
Later, the prime minister controlled the government, and it was Mrs. Zhen who shielded Liu Ji from the wind and rain several times, which allowed Liu Ji to regain power in the crisis, take care of politics and affairs, and finally become a generation of saints.
Liu Ji once said when Mrs. Zhen went out of the palace and returned to the south, this is the old man of my family!
During the Zhaowu period, the Holy Driver made six southern tours, all of which were stationed in the Zhen family, which shows the status of Mrs. Fengsheng in the heart of the Emperor.
When Jia Cong set off, Jia Yu had told him that he could make a mistake at any time, but he must not be rude to Mrs. Zhen. Because it was Jia Daishan, who had also received the favor of Mrs. Zhen.
The rest of the Zhen family has nothing to do with the Jia family, but Mrs. Zhen is the elder of everyone in the Jia family.
Jinling Zhen family, located in the rich and noble place of Jinling North City, the vermilion gate slowly opened. Zhen Yingjia took a young man who was very similar to Jia Baoyu out of the house to greet him in person, and the rest of the Zhen family followed behind.
"Meet Uncle Shi, farewell to Yangzhou, Uncle Shi has lost a lot, the late autumn dew is cold, Uncle Shi should pay more attention to his body!"
This time, Jia Cong didn't have the nonsense he did when he was in Yangzhou, and no one could find fault with the etiquette.
Xue Pan next to him also saluted, Zhen Yingjia glanced at Xue Pan in surprise, and then bowed his head and said, "Good boy, please get up...... Baoyu, before he stepped forward to greet him, Brother Cong was only eight years old when he received the grace of the Holy Grace and gave him an official title, you can look at you again......"
Another national thief!
The Zhen family's Baoyu originally saw that Jia Cong was good-looking, but after hearing his father's words, his perception instantly dropped by three percent, and even after catching a glimpse of Jia Cong's flying fish suit, he only felt extremely dazzling.
Jia Cong didn't give others a reason to speak, so he took a step forward and bowed: "Junior brother has seen Brother Zhen...... Hey? Brother Zhen is so similar to my second brother, even the name is the same......"
The voice became lower and lower, and in the end, only Zhen Yingjia heard Jia Cong's last mutter: "Second Brother Bao shouldn't be brothers with the eldest brother of the Zhen family, right?" Ah, is that the son of Uncle Shi or the son of the second uncle? ”
Zhen Yingjia almost didn't stabilize his mind, Jia Yu's son was a bastard like him. Jia Enhou was such a muddy person back then, but he didn't expect his youngest son to be the same!
Fortunately, Zhen Baoyu was still polite, and after a half-perfunctory salute, he whispered to remind his father who was caught in his memories, and welcomed Jia Cong and others into the door.
Since it is to do things according to orders, it is natural to take the holy mission as the priority.
Mrs. Fengsheng is eighty years old, and she is already a human being. is also the nurse of the saint, Jia Cong held the holy oracle, took the imperial gift directly into the inner hall of Zhen's mansion, and went to the old lady's room to announce the decree.
The layout of the Zhen Mansion is roughly the same as that of the Rongguo Mansion, and the old lady lives in the most comfortable and luxurious courtyard of the Zhen family.
There is a plaque on the main hall with the sage's imperial pen: Feng'en Hall, after Jia Cong walked into the main hall, he knelt down and kowtowed, and the sound showed his sincerity.
"General Wude, Xiao Cavalry Captain, Dragon Guard, Qianhu Jia Cong pay a visit to Mrs. Fengsheng!"
Without waiting for the old lady to respond, he kowtowed again and said: "Jia Cong of Rongguo Mansion greets the old lady, and wishes the old lady all the best, peace and well-being!" ”
"Ah, it's Daishan's grandson here, get up quickly, get up quickly, come closer, let the old woman take a look......"
Mrs. Fengsheng is already full of gray hair, but her complexion looks fine. is rich and kind, without the slightest sense of malice given by Concubine Zhen.
Hearing this, Jia Cong got up, calmly walked up to the old lady, and let her pinch her chubby face and touch her head.
Suddenly, his hand was heavy, and when he looked down, he saw that there was an additional piece of Maitreya Buddha carved by beautiful jade.
I saw the old lady touch his head, and said with a smile: "I heard that you are coming earlier, so I asked people to prepare a meeting gift, this is the consecrated Buddha statue I asked for from Jiming Temple." ”
Jia Cong will not push around like ordinary people, grinning and bowing to thank you: "That junior has taken a big advantage, with the blessing of the Buddha statue given by an old birthday star like the old lady, the younger generation will be difficult to invade in the future, and the blessings will be complete!" ”
"You kid is so likable, your grandfather was like that, pick what I like to hear......"
The well-behaved and pleasing Jia Cong made Mrs. Fengsheng laugh heartily and beckoned the maid to go to the feast in Zhangluo.
When Jia Cong finished announcing the emperor's holy edict and handed over the secret letter of the imperial pen to the old lady, the main figures of the Zhen family were already waiting in the main hall to accompany the old lady to have dinner with Jia Cong.
The Zhen family has received gifts from the holy envoy over the years, and Jia Cong's arrival this time is basically a routine hospitality.
But the old lady felt that this time the oracle was a little unusual, but today she was happy, and she didn't plan to ask more, but after the banquet, she had to live in the Zhen Mansion, saying that she wanted to introduce the younger generations of the Zhen family to him.
After repeatedly refusing, Jia Cong still couldn't stand the old lady's enthusiasm, and sent Xue Pan out of the house and lived in the Zhen family's guest house.
When night fell, Jia Cong recalled what he saw and heard at Zhen's house today, tossing and turning and unable to sleep.
By midnight, he had finally arrived.
"Uncle Eleven, what did my father say about the Zhen family's side?"
Jia Shiyi was dressed in black, sat on the edge of Jia Cong's bed and whispered: "The general said that Mrs. Fengsheng is still alive, and the Zhen family will not be able to fall." The master will let the little third master play happily in Jinling, and he will come to Jinling in person one day to deal with the unfinished business. ”
"Then my uncle's revenge is gone?"
Although Mrs. Fengsheng was very good to him, Jia Cong couldn't let go of the enemy with a little favor.
I only heard Jia Shiyi sneer: "The Zhen family can't be down, but it's okay to make trouble for Zhen Yingjia." Cui Xuanye put all Liu Chen's crimes on Zhen Yingjia's head, and Lord Liu also asked the Long Guards to collect a lot of evidence, which has now been sent to the capital. Thinking that the saint will also be angry with the Zhen family, 'coerce' the prince to seize the heir and rebel! ”
