Chapter 560

Looking at Wang Wang Wang Ziteng, who was sitting in the guest seat,

along with his youngest son Wang Heng,

the rest of the family, including Wang Heng who had just arrived from Jin Ling, Wang Wang Wang Xifeng’s two brothers Wang Ren and Wang Yi, and Wang Wang Wang Ziteng’s wife, were all furious, the whole family snarling and cursing Jia Hui.

Wang Ren, who had been severely beaten by Jia Hui at the Wang residence and had been lying in bed for a long time, having hired countless famous physicians and consumed countless precious medicinal herbs, but whose injuries were still not fully healed, said with a face full of resentment: “That’s right, this jinx has come.”

Wang Yi followed up: “Nothing good ever comes when he visits.”

Wang Heng cursed angrily: “The brat actually dares to come; does he want to raid the Wang family as well?”

Wang Wang Wang Ziteng’s wife said sarcastically to the women of the Shi family: “Past lessons are the teachers of the future.”

The few of them sang in chorus.

In short, they had nothing good to say about Jia Hui.

Their words were as ugly as could be.

However, it did have an influence.

Baoling Marquis Shi Nai and his younger brother Zhongjing Marquis Shi Ding, as well as their respective wives and some of the concubines and younger generation in the house, all changed their expressions.

One must know that the Shi family was very prosperous in terms of descendants.

After the Grand Secretary and Baoling Marquis Shi Gong, there were eighteen branches, with ten currently living in the capital and eight in their ancestral home.

It was said, “The Epang Palace, three hundred miles long, cannot hold a single Shi from Jin Ling.”

The other three families, the Jia, Wang, and Xue families, were far inferior.

Therefore, the Shi family was a large household, and it was no wonder that the Shi family, despite being dignified marquises with two titles in one family, was so poor that the women had to do needlework to support the whole family.

“Master, this?”

Baoling Marquis Shi Nai’s wife, Xue Yuan, who looked to be in her thirties, had a peaceful face, and one could vaguely tell she had been a beauty in her youth.

One could tell from her name.

This Xue Yuan came from the Xue family of Jin Ling and was the younger sister of Xue Pan’s father.

This was not strange.

The four great families of Jin Ling were old relatives and intermarried with each other.

For example, the Jia family’s Grandmother Jia, actually named Shi Taijun, was from the Shi family; Shi Shi Shi Xiangyun’s father, Baoling Marquis Shi Nai, and Zhongjing Marquis Shi Ding were actually Grandmother Jia’s nephews.

At this moment, she looked at her husband with worry.

Regarding Jia Hui’s arrival,

she was clearly somewhat worried and therefore somewhat resistant.

It wasn’t that she disliked Jia Hui that much.

But as the Wang family said,

who wouldn’t be panicked hearing that!

Every time Jia Hui visited, except for the homes of his concubines,

basically, most of them ended up with no good outcome.

One after another, they faced imprisonment or even the raiding of their homes and extermination of their clans!

Therefore, it was normal for the women and children to have such worries and not want to see Jia Hui.

At the same time, Zhongjing Marquis Shi Ding’s wife was not from the four great families.

She was the cousin of the Chang’an Military Governor Yun Guang.

In the original work, Jia She causing the death of Shi Shi Shi Daizi for twenty fans, and Seeing Seeing Fengjie causing Zhang Zhang Zhang Jinge and the son of the Garrison Commander to commit suicide for three thousand taels of silver, were the causes of the Jia Mansion’s disaster, and were also typical examples of the Jia Mansion associating with officials, relying on power to bully others, and harming lives.

That Shi Shi Shi Daizi was actually just a collector of ancient fans who couldn’t even afford to eat, and he had twenty precious ancient fans that Jia She took a fancy to. Jia She wanted to force a purchase, but Shi Shi Shi Daizi refused.

Jia Yucun catered to Jia She, designed a trap to frame Shi Shi Shi Daizi, accused him of owing government silver, took him to the yamen, raided his fans, and gave them to Jia She at the official price, causing Shi Shi Shi Daizi to go mad and commit suicide.

Then, Zhang Zhang Zhang Jinge, the daughter of the wealthy Zhang in Chang’an County, had already been betrothed to the son of the Chang’an Garrison Commander, but she was taken a fancy to by the son of the Li family. The wealthy Zhang was greedy for money and power, wanting to return the betrothal gifts to the Garrison Commander’s family, but the Garrison Commander refused, so the Zhang family used the old nun at the Jia Mansion’s Iron Threshold Temple to bribe Seeing Seeing Fengjie with three thousand taels of silver.

Seeing Seeing Fengjie abused her power, wrote a letter to the Chang’an Military Governor Lord Yun in the name of Jia Jia Jia Lian, and forced the Garrison Commander’s family to break off the engagement, leading to the tragedy of Zhang Zhang Jinge hanging herself, the Garrison Commander’s son drowning himself, and both the Zhang and Li families losing both money and people.

These two things had not happened yet.

However, it could be seen from this.

This Chang’an Military Governor Yun Guang was also not a good person.

Zhongjing Marquis Shi Ding’s wife, Yun Jia Jia Lian, had a name that sounded the same as Jia Jia Jia Lian’s but with a different character.

She was not easy to get along with.

So after listening to the Wang family singing in chorus,

she immediately changed her expression, saying with disgust and aversion: “Master, the old relatives are right, this Jia Hui is just a jinx, we should hurry and drive him away, we must not let him in.”

Their children were also shouting.

This made Baoling Marquis Shi Nai and his younger brother Zhongjing Marquis Shi Ding look at each other.

Having heard so much from everyone, they both felt a bit uneasy in their hearts.

“Second brother, how about we don’t see him?”

Zhongjing Marquis Shi Ding, who was one meter eighty-one tall and had a sturdy build, had a square face, a full beard, and leopard-Love Love Like eyes, giving him the image of a burly warrior, somewhat Love Love Like the image of Zhang Fei in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

His voice was Love Love Like a bell, but in front of Baoling Marquis Shi Nai, he lowered his voice, hesitating Love Love Like a small leopard toward its parents, and said in a low voice.

From his attitude, it could be seen that he respected his older brother very much.

Baoling Marquis Shi Nai, compared to his rugged-looking younger brother, was actually not much better, with a tall stature of one meter eighty-two, even taller than Shi Ding.

He just didn’t have a full beard.

He only had a thick black mustache on his lip, and his eyes were Love Love Like a crouching tiger; when asleep, he had three parts of dominance, and when he opened his eyes in anger, it was shocking, looking extremely dignified.

However,

at this moment, this Baoling Marquis was also hesitant in his heart.

He was indeed concerned about Jia Hui’s arrival.

He was clearly influenced by everyone.

But this thought disappeared after a while.

Glancing at Wang Wang Wang Ziteng on the side,

Baoling Marquis Shi Nai then smiled with a calm expression: “Those who come are guests, even if they are unwelcome guests, there is no reason to turn them away, otherwise others will only think that I am afraid of his Jia Hui.”

Once these words were spoken,

everyone reacted differently.

Baoling Marquis Shi Nai’s wife, Xue Yuan, thought it made sense.

Zhongjing Marquis Shi Ding nodded in approval.

Only Zhongjing Marquis Shi Ding’s wife, Yun Jia Jia Lian, was somewhat disapproving, but she dared not talk back to Shi Nai, so she remained silent.

Most of the Wang family members were speechless.

Only Wang Wang Wang Ziteng took a deep look at Shi Nai.

On the surface, Shi Nai seemed to be as distant and disgusted with Jia Hui as everyone else, and only refrained from refusing Jia Hui’s visit due to face and etiquette.

But Wang Wang Wang Ziteng, who in the original work could reach the position of a high official, although family background was a big reason, could not have done it without some ability.

So he immediately caught the implication!

“Hmph, this Shi Nai clearly does not want to offend this Jia Hui...”

Wang Wang Wang Ziteng’s expression fluctuated for a while, but he quickly calmed down: “Forget it, now that our Wang family still needs to marry into the Shi family, it is not good to ruin the relationship. Let’s see this Jia Hui and see what kind of trouble he is trying to stir up this time.”
