The eldest son of the red mansion

As soon as Jia Zheng saw Jia Zhen, he went straight to the point and asked, "Is everything ready in the ancestral hall?"

"Uncle, don't worry, I ordered someone to clean out the ancestral hall early on, and I'm just waiting for the two newcomers to come." Jia Zhen quickly answered Jia Zheng's words.

Only then was Jia Zheng satisfied. Although Jia Zhen is now the patriarch of the Jia family, in fact many matters in the family are decided by Jia Zheng. Naturally, Jia Zhen dare not neglect what Jia Zheng ordered.

Seeing Jia Ke standing next to Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen hurried over to salute, "Brother, you have not been back to Beijing for a long time, and you will be free after a while. I will treat you to dinner, and you can also try our Beijing restaurant." in the flavor."

"Brother Zhen, you are welcome. We are all one family. We will see each other more in the future." Jia Ke also said some polite words to him.

Seeing everyone chatting a few words, Jia Zheng acted out of courtesy, "Let's talk about it when we enter the mansion, what does it look like to talk at the door?"

Everyone dared not disobey Jia Zheng's words, so they entered the side gate of Ningguo Mansion together and came to the second gate.In front of the second gate, Jia Zhen's stepwife, Youshi, was already waiting there.

Chapter 267 Genealogy

When everyone came to the second gate of Ningguo Mansion, Qin Keqing got out of the sedan chair, and Qin Keqing walked out of the sedan chair.As soon as Jia Zhen saw Qin Keqing's face, she immediately froze.Staring at Qin Keqing, the saliva almost flowed down.

Qin Keqing's face was blushing when he saw him, and she was a little at a loss. How could she have thought that the patriarch of the dignified Jia clan would be so unbearable.Jia Ke knew that Jia Zhen would roll around in a crowd of women, but she didn't expect him to be so rude, so she took two steps forward to stand between Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing.And snorted angrily.Only then did Jia Zhen wake up.

After Jia Zhen woke up, the first thing she saw was Jia Ke's angry eyes, and Jia Zheng next to her was also displeased.

Jia Zhen knew that she had caused trouble, but Qin Keqing was so beautiful that she couldn't control herself for a while, and she showed her embarrassment in front of everyone.

You Shi could see clearly from the side, knowing that Jia Zhen had started to make old mistakes again, so he quickly smoothed things over and said, "Master, that slave made you so angry yesterday, why are you still thinking about yesterday?"

After Youshi finished speaking, he said to Jia Zheng and Jia Ke: "Yesterday, there was a slave who stole something from our master's study, and our master bumped into him. He wanted to drag this slave out and beat him to death. No." Thinking that this person turned out to be the son of our lord's nanny, our lord couldn't help it for a while, so from yesterday until now, I've been in a trance."

Jia Ke's face didn't change for the better because of her explanation, she still stood there with a livid face.You must know that Jia Ke is now the foreman of the military aircraft. If such a power is offended, how can it be easily exposed with a single sentence.

Looking at Jia Ke's ashen face, Jia Zheng hurriedly coughed, reminding Jia Ke what to do today?

Jia Ke understood Jia Zheng's reminder, and held back her anger for a while.He thought in his heart that he would have the opportunity to teach Ning Guofu a lesson and let him know the consequences of offending him.

At this time, Jia Zhen was panicked. Just now he was obsessed with ghosts and showed an ugly face to her sister-in-law. I am afraid that Jia Ke had been annoyed, and she was really scared.In case Jia Ke retaliated against him after today, a polished third-rank general would be thrown into the dust immediately because of his powerlessness.

Now Jia Zheng didn't care what Jia Zhen was thinking, and said directly to him: "Since the ancestral hall is ready, let's do it quickly, we still have things to do." It seems that he doesn't want to stay in Ningguo Mansion any longer.

Only then did Jia Zhen realize that she could only lead the way with a sad face, thinking about how to avoid disasters.

The crowd soon came to the Jia's Ancestral Hall in Ningguo Mansion, where the main gate was already open.The ancestral hall has been cleaned up, and everyone has entered the ancestral hall. As the patriarch, Jia Zhen is naturally the official priest.

Jia Zhen first held the incense, chanted in front of all the gods, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.Finally, he knelt on the futon in front of him and kowtowed three times to his ancestors.

In the end, Jia Zhen stood aside and said to Jia Ke and Qin Keqing: "The newcomers offer incense to the ancestors."

So Jia Ke and Qin Keqing kowtowed to their ancestors, and then offered incense. After that, Jia Zhen took out the family tree enshrined from the table in the ancestral hall, turned to the branch of Rongguo Mansion, and wrote Qin Keqing's name under Jia Ke's name.From then on, Qin Keqing was justifiably the mistress of the Wuyanghou Mansion.

In the end, Jia Ke and Qin Keqing saluted their ancestors again.All the processes up to here, this is the end.

After all the ceremonies were over, Jia Ke didn't want to stay any longer, so she told Jia Zheng that she wanted to go back to Rongguo Mansion.Jia Zheng knew the reason why he was leaving, he thought about Jia Zhen's rudeness just now, and didn't want to cause trouble.So he went back to Rongguo Mansion with them.

At the gate of Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zhen was left alone regretting, thinking about how to settle this matter.Otherwise, it will definitely affect the relationship between Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion.You must know that Ningguo Mansion has declined now, but Rongguo Mansion has now returned to its heyday because of Jia Ke's appearance.

If Ningguo Mansion is not attached to Rongguo Mansion now, he is a third rank hereditary general.If you hit someone casually with a brick in the capital, they might all be older than his official.Where are the days when they are calling the wind and rain.

When Jia Zhen was worried and at a loss, Youshi's voice came from beside him: "Is the uncle still worried about what happened just now?"

When Jia Zhen heard that it was Youshi's voice, she immediately tensed up, pretending to be serious.He said nonchalantly: "Why do I have any troubles? It's just some trivial matters, I can't make up my mind for a while."

After Jia Zhen finished speaking, she wanted to go inside the mansion, You Shi followed closely behind him, and the two came to the flower hall of Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Zhen sat down in the middle, and Youshi ordered the servant girl to bring tea, brought it to Jia Zhen herself, and then sat down next to him.Then he said to Jia Zhen: "Master, don't worry too much. According to my thinking, if this matter gets out, it will not be good for our two houses. I think as long as the uncle is not there to do anything, the Rongguo Mansion will also take action." will push things down."

When Jia Zhen heard this, her eyes widened. What Youshi said was really good. It is said that family ugliness should not be publicized. If Rongguo Mansion would not make a fuss about it.

But Youshi's next words shattered his hopes, "Although the Rongguo Mansion will not make a fuss about this matter, with Jia Ke's rights, they can find any reason to deal with the uncle. And there is no need He himself came forward, and a group of people under him scrambled to help him vent his anger."

"Then what should you do?"

"In the Rongguo Mansion, the old lady has always made up her mind. It's better for the uncle to ask the old lady. As long as the old lady relaxes, the uncle will be fine."

After listening to Jia Zhen, she felt that it really made sense. Although Jia Ke had a high position and authority outside, she still respected the old lady in the Rongguo Mansion.So Jia Zhen made up her mind to go to the old lady to present a generous gift in a short while, and then ask the old lady to mediate in order to calm Jia Ke's anger.

Not to mention that Jia Zhen is here to find a way to make up for it.Besides, Jia Zheng and Jia Ke returned to Rongguo Mansion. On the way back to the mansion, Jia Zheng said to Jia Ke: "Jia Zhen is indeed rude this time, but he is the patriarch of the Jia clan after all. You don't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha." For the sake of our ancestors, let him be spared this time."

Jia Ke listened to Jia Zheng's pleading for Jia Zhen, although he was reluctant.But Jia Zheng is Jia Ke's nominal father after all, and he has already spoken, so what else can Jia Ke do?So he replied: "Then forget it this time, if he comes to pester you again, I will definitely give him a good look." There was some resentment in his tone.

Jia Zheng heard that Jia Ke had already agreed, so he let the matter go for the time being, and didn't say anything more.After all, if Jia Zhen came to pester her again, even he would not let Jia Zhen go so lightly.

After they returned to Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng went to the study to chat with some Qing guests.However, Jia Ke brought Qin Keqing back to the Rongxi Hall again. Walking eastward, there are several small courtyards, one of which is particularly exquisitely decorated. This is the small courtyard where Jia Ke's biological mother, Aunt Zhou, lived.

Jia Ke led the way, and Qin Keqing followed closely with a few maidservants. Although Qin Keqing had never been here before, she knew that she was going to visit her serious mother-in-law, Jia Ke's biological mother.

As soon as Jia Ke brought Qin Keqing into the small courtyard, Xia Mai who was waiting at the door saw it. As soon as Xia Mai saw Jia Ke and Qin Keqing coming, he immediately shouted into the room: "Auntie, uncle brought grandma here gone."

As soon as she finished shouting, the curtain of the main room in the small courtyard was opened, and Aunt Zhou came out from inside. Seeing Jia Ke and the others immediately smiled and walked forward quickly.When he came to Jia Ke and the others, he ignored Jia Ke and directly pulled Qin Keqing into the house.

Qin Keqing didn't force anything, and accompanied Aunt Zhou into the house with a smile on her face.Jia Ke was left alone in the courtyard.

Just when Jia Ke was helpless because no one paid attention to him, Xia Mai brought a group of maidservants to him again to ask for rewards. Jia Ke said to her helplessly: "Xia Mai, have you gotten into money's eyes?" ? The matter of how to ask for a reward has never left you."

"Grandpa, what are you talking about? Isn't this a happy day?" Xia Mai said innocently.

Jia Ke had no choice but to take out a handful of golden melon seeds from her bosom, put them in Xia Mai's hands, and then went in.

When she came into the room, Aunt Zhou was chatting happily with Qin Keqing. They were all talking about the embarrassing things about Jia Ke's childhood, and they didn't know where they were talking. The two laughed and laughed.The two are like mother and daughter, very close, not as unfamiliar as when they first met.Qin Keqing did a very good job at this point, whether it was against the top or the bottom, she was able to grasp the scale very well.Getting along with others gives people a feeling of spring breeze.It only took a short time to capture Aunt Zhou's mind.

Seeing Jia Ke coming in, Qin Keqing smiled at him first, and then continued talking to Aunt Zhou, not neglecting Jia Ke.

Jia Ke went to sit beside Qin Keqing by herself, listening to the chat between the two of them, echoing a few words from time to time.

Aunt Zhou chatted with Qin Keqing for a while, seemed to remember something, hurried to the deepest part of the closet next to her, and took out a small red satin bag.Carefully brought it in front of Jia Ke and Qin Keqing. After opening the small bag, I saw a very simple silver bracelet inside. Some parts of the surface of the silver bracelet had turned black.

Aunt Zhou took the silver bracelet in her hand and stroked it carefully. It seemed that Aunt Zhou valued it very much. After stroking it carefully for a long time, Aunt Zhou handed it to Qin Keqing and said, "This thing is worthless to you. , I didn’t want to bring it up to make a fool of myself, but I thought it was a thought of our family after all, and it has been passed down for more than ten generations, even during the time when I was sold as a slave, I didn’t sell it.”

"Auntie, why have I never seen this bracelet before?"

"Just like the rascal you were when you were a child, you didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth. I let you know at that time, so I didn't take it out as a pawn." Aunt Zhou was quite critical of Jia Ke when she was a child.

Jia Ke also felt wronged. The real Jia Ke was the real Jia Ke when he was a child. Since he came to wear it, he has worked hard to make progress, otherwise he would not be where he is today.

Aunt Zhou ignored Jia Ke and handed the pair of silver bracelets to Qin Keqing. Qin Keqing knew that it was Aunt Zhou's favorite thing, so she refused to accept it.

"Don't rush to refuse. This thing has always been passed down in our family. I don't have a daughter in my life. I will hand this thing over to you. Although it is not a valuable thing, it has been passed down after all. It's been more than a dozen lifetimes, and it's still a thought left by the older generation, so you can put it away and pass it on to the next generation, and it can be regarded as a thought I left for the next generation." Aunt Zhou knew that her identity would not be Qin Keqing's. She is a serious mother-in-law, so she took out this worthless, but the most precious thing to her and gave it to Qin Keqing. It can also be regarded as a memory for future generations, so that future generations will not forget her.

Chapter 268

Qin Keqing glanced at Jia Ke next to her, Jia Ke nodded to her gently, Qin Keqing took the silver bracelet, got up and blessed Aunt Zhou (an ancient etiquette - ten thousand blessings), Aunt Zhou Seeing Qin Keqing accepting the silver bracelet, she immediately smiled.Qin Keqing had this thing, and then passed it on to future generations.Then the children and grandchildren will not forget her grandma who has no title.
