The Rise of Ning Mansion in Red Mansions

Chapter 27 Talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives

After Wang Ziteng took over as the governor of Beijing Camp, he continued as usual.
Still close to the Jia family's East and West Mansion, he sent his wife Zhou to visit the inner house.

Liaise with each other, gossip, talk about children and marriage matters.

There is also a time to complain.

She said that Jia Daixin of Dongfu was very clever and smart, and he had been promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief.
However, he still holds the position of commander of the Yanshan vanguard and will not let go.

For this reason, Wang Ziteng received a lot of criticism.

What's even more disgusting is that Jia Dai often treats Wang Ziteng as a subordinate official because of his high rank (first-class mighty general, first-class official).
Either he calls him "Master Wang" or "Uncle Shi".
There are so many noble disciples in the Beijing camp, and their actions and actions have actually caused the dignified second-rank officials of the imperial court and the Jiedushi of the Beijing camp to be majestic in front of more than 300,000 Beijing troops.

Emperor Taikang gave Prince Teng the task of reforming the capital camp, abolishing Shendu, and improving combat effectiveness, but the task was delayed again and again, with no progress to be made.

At first, Jia's mother was still a little unconvinced, feeling that Zhou was making a fuss out of a molehill. With the help of connections in the Jia family, the Wang family was able to return to the army and take over as the military governor of the Beijing camp.

It’s okay to not repay the favor. Zhou came to complain about some trivial matter. Could it be that Wang Ziteng wanted to burn down the bridge?
However, after seeing what Jia Dai did today, Jia Mu believed in Zhou's words.

Jia Dai is fourteen years old this year. He looks young, talkative and dull.
However, doing things neatly and unscrupulously is not someone who is easy to deal with.

Is it because he is a concubine from Dongfu and is too petty, or is it because Jia Zhen, as a legitimate grandson, is filial?

It would be better not to let this son participate in that important event (with the help of the East and West Prefectures to escort Jia Yuanchun into the palace) and send him to his hometown in Jinling as early as possible.

Speaking of Jia Zhen, Jia Mu was sent to the Xing family early in the morning to make a decision for Jia She.

However, the sun is now heading west and it's past noon. Why hasn't it come yet? There must be an accident.

It is said that people don't care about words, and it is true. Just when Jia Mu asked Jia Dai to stay for dinner, the steward's daughter-in-law came to report with a smile:
"Madam, brother Dongfu Zhen is here. He is right outside the door. Madam, please give me your instructions."

Mother Jia waved her hand and replied with a smile: "Let him in quickly."

Turning his head, he smiled and said to Jia Dai and others:

"It's better to come early than to come by chance."

"We were about to have lunch when he caught up with us."

"It can be seen that Brother Zhen is a lucky man!" Jia Dai sounded bored, but he also responded along with Jia Zheng and others.

Not long after, a handsome young man appeared, about twenty-eight or nine years old, with a smile on his lips. Quickly walked in, knelt in front of Jia Mu, saluted, and said:
"My grandson has met his ancestors!"

The flattering look on his face was evident, and his affectionate energy made people who didn't know better think that he was Jia Mu's grandson!
A picture of teasing one's grandson, so suitable for the occasion!
However, Jia Zhen's eyes were darkened and her steps were sloppy, obviously she was overindulging in lust.

Jia Mu touched his head and was intimate with him, which looked funny no matter how he looked at it.

"You kid, there are no outsiders here, it's winter, why are you giving such a big gift!"

When Jia's mother said this, she looked at Jia Dai with a smile, and her intention of knocking should not be too obvious.

"My dear grandson, I know your filial piety, so there is no need to be like this."

"Get up quickly and be careful when the ground is cold. Be careful if you catch a cold. It won't be good if you get wind chill."

Jia Mu raised her hand to support her, motioning Jia Zhen to stand up, and said with a smile:
"Go and pay tribute to the eldest master, the second master, and your brother."

As she said that, Jia Mu glanced at Rongxi Hall, taking in everything. Her cloudy eyes were full of memories, reminiscences, and reluctance. "Dinner is ready. You caught the opportunity. This is my last time in Rongxi Hall." Invite a meal."

"Later tonight, we will move to the Rongqing Hall on the west side to make room for your master, so that they will not think that the old woman is an eyesore!"

After hearing this, Jia Zheng turned pale with fright. He was flying in the sky. Where could he sit down? He could accept Jia Zhen's courtesy with peace of mind. He rolled on the ground randomly and said:
"If the mother said this, the son would not be able to live!"

"My son doesn't want any Hall of Fame, he just wants to be able to serve his mother by his side..."

Jia's mother just expressed her feelings and was so frightened that Jia Zheng could not sleep or eat well. She felt at ease. The strategy of supporting the old man to check and balance the boss was really wonderful.

With all the doubts in his mind gone, he waved his sleeves with a straight face, stood up and said:
"That's what the old lady said. You look anxious. What do you mean?"

He looked at Jia Zhen, Jia Dai, Jia She and others, and said:
"Okay, okay, let's have dinner. Later, there are big things that need to be discussed by your men's family. I, a woman, don't dare to be the master of the house!"

Everyone didn't dare to say anything and followed Jia Mu to the outer flower hall.
