Chapter 820

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

And his youngest son, Wang Heng.

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

Wang Ren, who had been severely beaten by Jia Hui at the Wang mansion previously, had been lying down for a long time, had seen countless famous physicians, and had consumed countless precious medicinal herbs, but his injuries had still not fully healed. He said with a face full of resentment: "That's right, this jinx is here."

Wang Yi chimed in: "With him visiting, nothing good can come of it."

Wang Heng cursed angrily: "The brat actually dares to come; does he want to raid the Wang family again?"

Wang Ziteng's wife said sarcastically to the women and children of the Shi family: "Past lessons are the teachers of the future."

The few of them sang in harmony.

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

Their words were as ugly as they could be.

However, it did have an influence.

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

You must know that the Shi family's population was very prosperous.

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

It was known as "The Epang Palace, three hundred miles long, cannot hold a single Shi from Jin Ling."

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

Therefore, the Shi family was a large family, and it was no wonder that the Shi family, a dignified marquisate with two marquises in one family, was so poor that their female relatives had to do needlework to support the whole family.

"Master, this?"

Marquis of Baoling Shi Nai's wife, Xue Yuan, who looked to be around thirty years old, had a peaceful face, and one could vaguely tell that she was also a beauty in her youth.

One could tell from her name.

This Xue Yuan was 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 all old relatives and intermarried with each other.

For example, the Jia family's Jia Mu, who was actually also known as Lady Shi, was from the Shi family; Shi Xiangyun's father, the Marquis of Baoling Shi Nai, and the Marquis of Zhongjing Shi Ding were actually all nephews of Jia Mu.

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

Regarding Jia Hui's arrival.

She was clearly somewhat worried, so she was somewhat resistant.

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

But as the Wang family said.

Who wouldn't panic after hearing that!

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

Basically, most of them didn't have a good ending.

One by one, they all faced imprisonment, or even being raided and exterminated!

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

At the same time, the wife of the Marquis of Zhongjing Shi Ding 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 Daizi for twenty fans and Seeing Fengjie causing Zhang Jinge and the son of the garrison commander to commit suicide for three thousand taels of silver were the reasons for the Jia Fu's disaster, and were also typical examples of the Jia Fu associating with officials, bullying others with their power, and harming lives.

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

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

Then Zhang Jinge, the daughter of the wealthy Zhang in Chang'an County, had already been betrothed to the son of the original Chang'an garrison commander, but was taken a fancy to by the son of the Li yamen. 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 of the Jia Fu's Iron Threshold Temple to ask Seeing Fengjie for help with three thousand taels of silver.

Seeing Fengjie abused her power to bully the weak, wrote a letter to the Chang'an Military Governor Lord Yun in the name of Jia Lian, and forced the garrison commander's family to break off the engagement, leading to the tragedy of Jinge hanging herself, the garrison commander's son throwing himself into the river, and both the Zhang and Li families losing both people and money.

These two things had not happened yet.

But from this, it could be seen.

This Chang'an Military Governor Yun Guang was not a good person either.

The wife of the Marquis of Zhongjing Shi Ding, Yun Lian, had a name that was homophonous with Jia Lian but written with a different character.

She was not easy to get along with.

So after listening to the Wang family singing in harmony.

She immediately changed her expression and said 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 cannot let him in."

Their children were also clamoring.

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

Having heard so much from everyone, their hearts were beating a little fast.

"Second brother, how about we don't see him?"

The Marquis of Zhongjing Shi Ding, who was 1.81 meters tall and had a sturdy build, had a square face, a full beard, and leopard eyes; he was a sturdy, fierce man, somewhat like the image of Zhang Fei in *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*.

His voice was like a bell, but in front of the Marquis of Baoling Shi Nai, he lowered his voice and hesitated like a little leopard toward its parents, saying in a low voice.

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

Compared to his rough-looking younger brother, the Marquis of Baoling Shi Nai was not much better; he was 1.82 meters tall, even taller than Shi Ding.

It was just that he didn't have a full beard.

He only had a thick black mustache on his lip, and his eyes were like a crouching tiger; when sleeping, he had three parts of dominance, and when he opened his eyes and glared, he was shocking, looking extremely dignified.

However.

At this moment, this Marquis of Baoling was actually also hesitant in his heart.

He was indeed somewhat concerned about Jia Hui's arrival.

He was clearly influenced by everyone.

But this thought disappeared after a while.

Glancing at Wang Ziteng off to the side.

The Marquis of Baoling 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 people away, otherwise others will only think that I am afraid of him, Jia Hui."

Once these words were spoken.

Everyone's reactions were different.

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

The Marquis of Zhongjing Shi Ding nodded in approval.

Only the Marquis of Zhongjing Shi Ding's wife, Yun Lian, was somewhat disapproving, but she dared not talk back to Shi Nai, so she didn't say anything.

Most of the Wang family were speechless.

Only 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 because of face and etiquette.

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

So he heard the implication immediately!

"Hmph, this Shi Nai clearly doesn't want to offend this Jia Hui..."

Wang Ziteng's expression was uncertain for a while, but he quickly calmed his demeanor: "Forget it, now that our Wang family still wants to marry into the Shi family, it's not good to ruin the relationship. Let's see this Jia Hui and see what kind of trouble he wants to stir up this time."
