Chapter 24

After listening, Jia Rong said worriedly to Jia Zhen: "Father, what about my marriage."

Jia Zhen was annoyed, gloomy and uncertain.

It was fine when Jia Hui had no power or influence before.

Now Jia Hui's nobility was a third-rank military official, and his real position was a regular third-rank military official!

He was already higher than Qin Ye.

Even if the unwritten rule of civil officials was higher than military generals.

He was not comparable to the regular fifth-rank official Qin Ye!

A Lang is a low-level official.

And let alone Qin Ye.

Jia Hui was now even more awesome than his father Jia Zhen.

If it weren't for the name of the Duke of Rongguo covering him.

He wouldn't be comparable to Jia Hui at all.

Therefore, if Qin Keqing had married Jia Hui before, it could be said to be marrying down.

Now it was marrying up, clinging to Jia Hui!

Jia Zhen said unhappily, "Go talk to that Qin Ye again, coerce and lure him, that Jia Hui is just a lone little general, how can he compare to our Duke of Rongguo's family?"

"Why don't you go quickly?"

"Yes, yes!..."

Jia Rong obeyed and hurriedly left in a dejected manner.

You Shi watched coldly, feeling sorrowful in her heart.

At the same time!

The Rongguo Prefecture and the Qin family also received the news one after another!

【20】 Wang Xifeng is scolded because of Jia Hui! Rongguo Prefecture is shocked (7/7)

Rongguo Prefecture!

As usual.

At this moment, Lin Daiyu and Xue Yima's family had not yet entered the capital.

However, there was still a whole family including Lady Xing, Lady Wang, Wang Xifeng, Jia Baoyu, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Li Wan, etc., all revolving around the old lady, Jia Mu.

Jia Mu was very happy.

"Look, my Baoyu has grown taller again."

"In a few years, he will take the imperial examination."

Jia Mu said dotingly to her most beloved grandson, Jia Baoyu.

Among the crowd, Wang Xifeng, who looked like a fairy, had a beautiful appearance, a pair of phoenix-like triangular eyes, two willow-leaf eyebrows, a slender figure, and a coquettish physique.

Dressed in colorful embroidery and magnificent clothes, she wore grand attire.

With a spring-like face and unrevealed majesty, she was the first to smile and echo Jia Mu's words with her red lips: "Old Lady is absolutely right, I think the second brother is smart and clever, a talent who can be a general or a prime minister, and after taking the imperial examination, he will be either the top scholar or the third scholar."

"..."

These words made Jia Mu and Lady Wang very happy.

"Sister-in-law Lian is right, Brother Bao will definitely be able to do it."

The one who followed up.

Was a girl sitting on a chair to the left of Jia Mu.

This girl was Tanchun, the daughter born to Jia Zheng of the Rongguo Prefecture and his concubine who was a slave, the younger sister of Jia Baoyu by a different mother, and known as the Third Young Lady in the Jia family.

Although Third Young Lady Tanchun was not old, she had sloping shoulders and a slender waist, a long and tall figure, an egg-shaped face, handsome eyes and eyebrows, and a spirited look, with literary talent and essence, making people forget the mundane when they saw her.

Hearing Jia Mu's words, she immediately echoed in approval.

The others also spoke up one after another.

And Jia Baoyu, the subject of their words, was also among them.

With short hair around his head tied into small braids with red silk, Jia Baoyu had been deeply loved by Jia Mu since childhood, wandering in the gentle and wealthy land, specializing in raising powder and grease, and being close to his sisters and maids at home.

However, he loved sentimental literature such as poetry and songs, hated the Four Books and eight-legged essays, and criticized Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.

At this moment, hearing Jia Mu's words, his big face immediately became unhappy: "I won't do those salary-moths."

Hearing this.

The whole hall suddenly became quiet!

Such stupid words.

If it were in another family, he would definitely be beaten and scolded.

However, in the Jia family.

Everyone looked at Jia Baoyu.

And looked at Jia Mu and Lady Wang.

But few dared to speak.

Wang Xifeng saw the cold scene and smiled: "Brother Bao is joking, he is still young, he will understand in a few years."

Grandmother Jia followed with a smile and said: "Feng-girl is right."

She was about to say something else.

Jia Mu's second son, Jia Baoyu's father, Jia Zheng, who was upright and honest, had just come from court and heard Jia Baoyu's words from afar!

Walking in at this moment, he was immediately furious.

"You ignorant obstacle, how dare you say such stupid words, see if I don't beat you to death, you evil obstacle!"

Jia Zheng glared and scolded Jia Baoyu.

He was pedantic.

Jia Baoyu was the lifeblood of the Jia family and the only hope of the Jia family.

And Jia Zheng had paved a bright path of official career for him since the day Jia Baoyu was born.

Therefore, he naturally couldn't stand Jia Baoyu being like this.

Everyone was shocked.

No one dared to speak.

Jia Baoyu was like a mouse seeing a cat, frightened and hiding beside his grandmother and mother: "Old Ancestor, Mother, save me."

"If you want to beat my Baoyu, beat me to death first!"

Jia Mu immediately hugged Jia Baoyu with both hands in distress, protecting him in her arms.

She said angrily to Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng was a pedantic person and also a very filial son.

Seeing this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped his actions.

"Son dare not."

He confessed frustratedly.

With Jia Mu protecting him, Jia Zheng couldn't educate his son even if he wanted to.

Lady Wang breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly got up to serve tea, and while doing so, changed the subject: "Master has returned from court, did anything major happen in the court today?"

"No!"

Jia Zheng said frustratedly, having to follow the professional topic helplessly: "There is one thing related to our Jia family."

Hearing this.

Everyone was shocked.

"What happened?" Lady Wang asked nervously.

Jia Zheng took a sip of tea and then sat in the seat below Jia Mu and said: "It's about Jia Hui."

"Jia Hui?!"

Everyone was stunned.
