Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 16 Jia Zhen: Ying Er misunderstood, I am not such a person
Everyone was happy when they received the gift.

A few younger girls got together again and began to discuss and comment. One said she was good, and the other said that there were some shortcomings in her own. It was hard to be perfect.

This is how things are in the world, and the white jade will only last for a long time if it is slightly flawed. This is also what Jia Ying did intentionally.

Familiarity does not know, Bian He lost his footing after presenting the bi, and the Zhao family lost the country after winning the precious treasure.The Ying family took flawed jade to make a seal, but lost a corner. This is how the national treasure seal that suppressed the luck of the thousand-year dynasty was obtained.

On the other hand, Jia's mother and the others were also very satisfied. If it was about rare things, how could the Jia family lack those things? They only cared about the filial piety of the younger generation.

Only then did Jia Ying make room, took a box and brought it to Daiyu.

Daiyu turned aside and didn't look at it.

Jia Ying opened the wooden box directly, and the contents inside were exposed. On the top was a brocade and jade belt with peacock feathers, and on the bottom were several thick books.

Seeing that Daiyu didn't look at it, Jia Ying moved the opened wooden box to her eyes.

He said softly: "I didn't give it to you in Yangzhou because I learned from my aunt that you came to Beijing together. I am happy alone. How could everyone laugh at me? Now all the sisters gather together to share the joy. Where is it?" Make you unhappy again?"

After hearing this, Daiyu thought, "Could it be that I misunderstood him?"

Only then did she raise her eyes to look at the wooden box in Jia Ying's hand. The jade belt was nothing more than a valuable item, but Daiyu's attention was all on the few books in the box. Yes, I prefer to read books, and using these books as gifts really sent them to her heart.

The corner of his mouth couldn't help being happy, and he returned to his usual aura, but he didn't admit it: "Second brother also said some things for nothing, why am I not happy?"

Seeing this, Jia Ying no longer worried.

Sister Lin is still the same Sister Lin, she is never jealous, she just hurt herself badly, if not, she wouldn't prefer to befriend that "devil king".

One is affectionate and intelligent, the other is stupid and perverted, and both of them are not fond of vulgar things, so it's no wonder if they don't.It's just that their emotions are hard for ordinary people to understand.

Here, Jia's mother said to Jia Ying again: "Ying'er, when you come back this time, don't leave again. Let your brother Zhen arrange to vacate a courtyard in the East Mansion to live in. Are you the descendants of the Jia family? Is there a reason to stay at my grandfather's house all day?"

Jia Ying replied: "Old lady, grandson's coming to Beijing this time is to move the spirit tablet of his parents into the ancestral hall, and the two will participate in next year's Spring Festival. They will indeed live in Beijing for a long time."

When Jia's mother heard the words, there was a mixture of sadness and joy for a while. The sad thing was that it was not a good omen when it was mentioned that the younger generation would leave the elders first.The good news is that Jia Ying passed the high school exam at a young age, and the Jia family may become a Jinshi master again.

Immediately said: "Your old man is capable. In their generation, he was the only one who inherited the legacy of his ancestors' martial arts heirs, but his fate was not good. He died in a remote place in southern Xinjiang. Perhaps he was blessed by his ancestors. , Our family has another master Wenqu!"

Everyone was happy for Jia Ying.

He also heard Jia Mu's instructions: "It's just that you are not allowed to learn from Brother Zhen and his father!"

Speaking of the master of the East Mansion, no one in the room dared to respond casually except Mother Jia, and the two wives were no exception. The younger generation also lowered their heads, or pretended not to hear.

Jia Ying just nodded and didn't answer.

Wang Xifeng tactfully interrupted: "Oh, old ancestor, our family is going to produce a master Wenquxing now, so we should celebrate it!"

"Should be! Should be!" Mother Jia nodded with a smile on her face and said, "Girl Feng, go make arrangements, set up a few banquets, and invite nothing else, just our family to celebrate Brother Ying."

Wang Xifeng loves to deal with matters both inside and outside the house, and was about to agree when he saw Youshi rushing to the side: "Old ancestor, Feng girl takes care of the inside and outside of the Rongfu, you should feel sorry for her, and leave this matter to her." Let the granddaughter-in-law do it. It happens to also take the ancestors to visit Huifang Garden."

It was You Shi who felt that Jia Ying was from the East Mansion after all, and she, the eldest sister-in-law, was here, so there was no reason for others to take over this job.

Jia Mu also felt reasonable and was about to respond.

But I heard Jia Ying say: "Thank you, the ancestor and the two sister-in-laws for their love, but Ying'er thinks that the celebration banquet will not be held for now."

Before Jiamu could speak, Wang Xifeng didn't want to miss the commotion, and interjected, "What's this talking about? Even if the banquet doesn't take place, the wine that catches the wind should be drunk, right?"

Jia Ying replied with a smile: "It's just a raiser, it's not worth having a banquet to celebrate, and it's not necessary to welcome the wind. After all, this time is to send the parents' coffins into the ancestral hall, so I'm afraid it's not suitable to hold a big banquet."

This is Jia Ying's other excuse. He has just entered Beijing and has nothing to do. How can he have fun with everyone? Even if he has time, isn't it good to read books?

Seeing Jia Ying's refusal, everyone couldn't hold on anymore.

Not long after, Mother Jia ordered Daiyu to visit the two uncles, and also asked You Shi to settle down with Jia Ying. The whole group left one after another, and Jia Ying and You Shi Keqing went to the East Mansion together.

On the way, Youshi only said that he had arranged a courtyard for Jia Ying to live in, and wanted to take him there to see if he was satisfied.

It's just that Jia Ying didn't want to live in Dongfu at first, but she felt that it was not good to chill the family's feelings, so she just agreed.

When they arrived in the East Mansion, Mrs. You made all the arrangements for Jia Ying, and stayed to talk warmly and warmly. Jia Ying thought that it was not easy to stay together, so she said: "Sister-in-law, I should go to Beijing when I return to Beijing." The elders in the mansion ask for peace."

You Shi nodded and said: "You are also thoughtful, but the Eldest Master has always been at the Xuanzhen Temple outside the city. If you want to go, you might as well ask your Brother Zhen to come."

Jia Ying then resigned from the You family, went to the housekeeper and asked Jia Zhen's whereabouts, the housekeeper replied: "Go back to the second master, the uncle is in the green hall in the back garden with the second master Lian from the West Mansion."

Jia Ying turned and went to the green hall.

Just after entering the courtyard, Jia Ying heard the gentle laughter of men and women coming from the main room.

Jia Ying frowned, no wonder they all said, "It's a good start to start a quarrel", this Jia Zhen is also really absurd, there are a lot of wives and concubines in the front yard, but they are still messing around here, prostitution in the daytime, even the ancestors are not shunned, The ancestral hall is not separated by a few walls!

In this world, those who have no money go out to play, and those who have money simply play at home, it's no wonder that the family is undefeated.

Jia Ying stepped in with a sullen expression.

In the main room, Jia Zhen and Jia Lian were hugging each other, and they were having a good time drinking wine, but when they saw someone walk in, Jia Zhen's face was slightly dark, and she was about to reprimand her, her eyes met Jia Ying's gloomy face, embarrassed With a smile, he let go of Bi Ren's hand.

"Why is Ying'er here? Sit down, sit down!" Jia Zhen stood up to greet Jia Ying, and Jia Lian stood up as well.

Jia Ying ignored Jia Zhen, but looked at Jia Lian with an inexplicable expression and said, "Second brother Lian, the second sister-in-law is still waiting for you to go back in the mansion, you are here to be happy!"

When Jia Lian saw Jia Ying mentioning Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian's expression changed slightly, and he said awkwardly: "What are you talking about, Ying'er, you just had a few drinks with Brother Zhen, why is she messing with your second sister-in-law again?"

Seeing this, Jia Ying didn't bother to argue with him, she just said: "Be careful that the second sister-in-law is here."

Jia Lian's complexion changed again, and he said to Jia Zhen who was on the side: "Brother Zhen, Yinger came to see you because I have something to discuss. You guys are chatting, so I'll go back first."

After all, without waiting for Jia Zhen to open her mouth, she picked up the outer shirt and cloak that had been thrown aside, and hurried out.

Jia Zhen was about to ask Jia Ying what was the matter, when Jia Ying looked at the four maidservants who didn't know which family in the East Mansion, and said angrily: "What are you doing here, let me see anyone who dares to mess around in the future. Those who seduce the master will sell you to the Jiaofang Division together!"

Regardless of the disheveled clothes, the four girls ran out as if fleeing.

Jia Zhen's complexion is a little ugly, usually he is the only one who bluffs others, who dares to speak out in front of him.

It's just because Jia Ying only came back today, and I don't understand Jia Ying's temper, so I can't get angry for a while.

Jia Ying also knew the position of his family, and he could scold the slaves and maidservants at will, but he couldn't do this to Jia Zhen and Jia Lian.

Both of them have official status, Jia Lian's room is in charge of the big and small affairs of the West Mansion, and Jia Zhen not only inherited the title of Ning Guo, but also the patriarch of the Jia family.

However, even so, you still have to express your attitude. Some people are like this. The more you worry, the more presumptuous they will be. On the contrary, like Wang Xifeng, who dare to fight and make trouble, others will be more scrupulous.

Ignoring Jia Zhen's displeasure at the moment, she said sternly, "Brother Zhen, you are the oldest in our generation, so you should set an example for your brothers, and you are the patriarch of the entire Jia family. It is even more important to set a standard for the descendants of the Jia family. The ancestral hall is not far away, how can you do this?"

If it was someone else, Jia Zhen would have spat at him a long time ago, but it was a brother of her own generation, and the other party used righteousness and ancestors to suppress him, so she couldn't get angry for a while, so she could only accommodate: "Why should Yinger be angry with your eldest brother Zhen?" , I just drank too much wine for a while and messed around like that, it's definitely not like this on weekdays, so don't hold on to your brother today."

"Speaking of this, do you believe it yourself?" Jia Ying only rolled her eyes in her heart, but then thought: "This is a trap you put on yourself, so don't blame me for pulling the reins."

Pretending to be ignorant at the moment, he said, "So that's it. I just thought that Big Brother Zhen is not such a person. He must have drunk too much wine and did such a stupid thing. Ying Er misunderstood Big Brother Zhen!"

After all, I saluted again as an apology!
Jia Zhen: "."

I just said it casually, why did you take it seriously?

But the words came out of his mouth, but it was hard to deny them, so he could only go one way to the dark, and said cheekily: "Ying'er, what's the matter, my brothers should support each other and make things right, and don't misunderstand any misunderstandings." Yes, Brother Zhen, can I still argue with my brother?"

Jia Ying's attitude changed quickly, and she pretended to admire, "How lucky Ying'er is to have an elder brother like this! Brother Zhen is right, brothers should support each other and make things right, just right, I will live in the house from now on , it will be convenient for you and my brothers to supervise each other in the future. If Yinger does something inattentive in the future, Brother Zhen will also point it out. Everything is for our family."

Without giving Jia Zhen a chance to intervene, he grabbed Jia Zhen's arm and said, "This matter is an agreement between you and me, and we will follow this from now on."

After all, Jia Ying looked at Jia Zhen expectantly.

Jia Zhen: "."

She groaned in her heart, "Ying'er, don't you want your elder brother Zhen to live?"

Jia Zhen really wanted to refuse, but she didn't want to lose face in front of the brother who had just met, so she could only bite the bullet and nod, a little reluctantly said: "I will try my best!"

As soon as the words fell, Jia Zhen regretted it, thinking: "Why did I agree? What a crime!"
