In any case, this tragedy has finally come to an end.

Although there are still doubts about the case, Cen Mingche can only investigate it secretly by himself. On the surface, he has to close the case, otherwise neither the people of the capital nor his dear emperor father will be able to explain it to him.

That Jingzhao Yin was demoted three levels in a row and went to work as a county magistrate. However, his former deputy was brought up to be the new Jingzhao Yin.

Apparently things have calmed down, and the people in the capital have returned to their original rhythm of life.

But Cen Mingche secretly sent someone to keep an eye on the aftermath of this matter.

The remaining time is to return to the court and continue to follow Lin Ruhai to familiarize himself with government affairs.

I have to say, it's boring.

Lin Ruhai also saw his helplessness in going into battle. In order to adjust his mood, he agreed to apply to the emperor to take him out for a play.

"How about going to Rongguo Mansion?"

To be honest, Cen Mingche has been interested in Rongguo Mansion for a long time, but he has never had the chance to visit it.

This time it was just a coincidence.

Although Lin Ruhai was surprised why Cen Mingche was interested in the Jia family, he didn't pay much attention and agreed.

To be honest, going to Jia's mansion saved him a lot of effort.

Otherwise, you still have to worry about losing His Royal Highness.

In the eyes of the emperor, Rong Guogong was considered a veteran of two dynasties. Although he had passed away, the emperor still thought of him well in his heart.

It's not a big deal to let your son go to your veteran's house for a day.

The emperor agreed happily.

But the eldest prince and the second prince were not so happy.

Emperor, what does this mean?Is the third child allowed to make friends with foreign ministers?

Cen Mingche didn't think much about it.

Besides, a nobleman like Jia's family, who is in decline, actually doesn't have anyone to make friends with.

It is naturally the best to see Jia's family.

He was very curious.

There is a saying that "the east is rich and the west is noble, the south is poor and the north is humble." It is natural for nobles like Jia to live in the west of the imperial city.

When we arrived at Rongning Street, there were two large stone lions squatting on the north side of the street, and three animal-headed gates. In front of the gate, there were about a dozen servants in gorgeous clothes, with their chests and bellies raised, sitting in rows.

The main door is not open, and only the east and west corner doors have people coming in and out.There is a plaque above the main entrance, with the five characters "Edict to Build Ningguo Mansion" written on the plaque.

Heading west again, not far away, there are still three gates, and you will find Rongguo Mansion.

Because Cen Mingche came here incognito, he did not go through the main gate, but he went through the west corner gate with Lin Ruhai.

"Mrs. Rongguo and Taijun Shi are still here. Since we are here as guests, we should give the old man a gift."

"You're not that old yet, so it doesn't hurt to go into the back house and visit the old man."

Passing through the front yard, passing through a ceremonial gate, and entering the hanging flower gate, there are hand-painted verandahs on both sides, and in the middle is the entrance hall, where there is a large red sandalwood framed marble screen.Turning around the screen, there are three small halls. Behind the hall is the main courtyard at the back.

The five upper rooms on the front are all decorated with carved beams and painted beams. On both sides there are verandas and wing rooms with various parrots, thrushes and other birds hanging on them.

On top of Taiji, several girls in red and green were sitting. Seeing Lin Ruhai coming with Cen Mingche, they hurriedly came up to greet them.

"My uncle is a rare visitor!"

"Could this young master be someone's nephew?"

An older maid glanced at them, turned around, smiled and bowed.

"I have met you two gentlemen. The old lady is already waiting inside. She is looking forward to your coming."

This maid has a waist and shoulders, an oval face, black hair, a high nose, and a few freckles on both sides of her cheeks.Wearing a crimson silk jacket, a green satin vest, and a white crepe silk scarf.It should be Yuanyang.

Yuanyang personally opened the curtain for the two of them, and then stood guard at the door.

After all, he is a prince. If Cen Mingche really puts on the guard of honor and comes to visit, the Jia family, old and young, will kneel down in the front yard to greet him.

In order to avoid disturbing the public, this time he paid a completely private visit incognito, as if he were the nephew of Lin Ruhai's colleague.

Because of this, not everyone knows his identity, only a few masters in the house and their personal servants know.

Depending on the situation, Yuanyang should know.

As soon as the curtain was lowered, the old lady sitting in the front seat stood up.

Her hair on the temples is like silver, her complexion is fair and rosy, she smiles slightly, has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and has a graceful demeanor. Even though her face is full of wrinkles, she can still vaguely see the splendor of her youth.

"I, Mr. Jia Shi, have met His Highness the Third Prince."

"Old lady, sit down quickly, there is no need to be polite."

Cen Mingche hurriedly stepped forward to help him and held the junior ceremony.

Jia Mu hurriedly said she didn't dare, and gave in.After the guests and host were seated, Yuanyang and others were ordered to call Jia She, Jia Zheng and others to come over to see the ceremony.

This time Cen Mingche did not refuse.

After all, he really wanted to meet these characters.

"I have never met the descendants of old Rong Gong. It would be nice to meet them today."

Cen Mingche picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The original brew was Pu'er small green mandarin oranges. The tea soup was golden and translucent, and the fragrance filled his teeth.

Jia Mu smiled brightly and chatted a few more words. During the conversation, she was somewhat inquiring about Yuanchun's intentions.

"Jia Nu Shi? Jia Nu Shi is usually in the Queen's Palace, how can I see her?"

Cen Mingche leisurely practiced Tai Chi with Jia Mu.

"However, judging from the Queen's intentions, she likes Jia Nu Shi very much."

It seems that he said a lot, but in fact he said nothing.

At this time, Jia Zheng, Jia She and others had arrived to greet Cen Mingche.

One of the two brothers is fat and the other is thin.

Jia Zheng has a scholar-like slender face, three long beards, and a fair face.

Jia She, on the other hand, was fat and fat, with a drunken look on his face, and a flattering smile on his face, which made him look more and more greasy.

Jia Lian stood at the back obediently, obviously very afraid of his own father.

"I heard that there was a young master in your house who, as soon as he was born, took a piece of colorful crystal jade into his mouth. There were many writings on it, so he named it Baoyu. Why don't you see it?"

Cen Mingche asked this question out of curiosity.

Hearing this, Jia Zheng's face suddenly changed, turning red and white, and he gritted his teeth and said, "But I don't want to be called an evil son. Your Highness has learned about it."

Calculating, Jia Baoyu should be five years old this year. He has already brought up the matter of arresting Zhou and Rouge. Jia Zheng had an idea in his mind and must strictly discipline him to prevent him from becoming a drunkard and a womanizer in the future. .

However, Jia's mother loved Baoyu like a treasure and kept her under her knees. Whenever Jia Zheng disciplined her, she only did not obey him.

Hearing that Cen Mingche asked about Jia Baoyu, Jia's mother immediately smiled and said: "This child has been smart since he was a child. Now he is raising him in my house. I will take him out to meet His Highness the Third Highness, so that this kid can be blessed."

Immediately, someone brought a four or five-year-old child over.

Don't tell me, this Jia Baoyu is really not bad. He was really cute when he was a child, and he would laugh whenever he was teased.

"But I don't know where the psychic gem is. Can you let me take a look and open my eyes?"

Cen Mingche asked with a smile.

Jia's mother quickly agreed and asked her maid to take off the jade from Jia Baoyu's collar, hold it up with a handkerchief, and send it to Cen Mingche.

This jade is as big as a bird's egg, as bright as a bright cloud, as smooth as a crisp, and wrapped in five-color patterns.

As soon as Cen Mingche took it in his hands, before he could take a closer look, something became warm in his arms.
