"Alright." At this time, Grandmother Jia interrupted my brother and sister's joke. He asked," Brother Xuan, what did Master Wansui say when you returned to the capital? Are you going back to the border to take up your post, or are you staying in the capital?”My mother hoped that Jia Xuan would stay at the border. This way, she could save herself a lot of trouble in the residence, save her worry, and live a few days in peace.
"Replying to the ancestor. Wansui didn't say anything, he just told me to come back and wait for my appointment.”Jia Xuan replied.
Grandmother Jia nodded. Even the imperial court's appointed ministers did not allow a woman from the Inner Residence to interfere. She only hoped that Jia Xuan would be able to take up a post outside the city. That way, she would not be disturbed even if she did not see him. Her status as a precious jade would not be affected.
"With Third Brother's ability, he is outstanding no matter where he goes. Staying in the capital was good too. Third Brother would definitely be able to rise and shine. However, Third Brother, don't forget about me, your sister-in-law. If there was anything good, he would just think of his sister-in-law.”Wang Xifeng came out and joked.
"Sister-in-law, you're being too serious." What can I do? I'm just relying on my ancestors.
"That's true." Grandmother Jia nodded. Her words comforted her a little. Although this grandson was a little rude in some ways, he was still a sensible person.
"The Old Lady's family banquet is ready.”At this moment, Yuanyang came in and replied.
"Alright, then let's sit down and eat first. We can talk about it later." Grandmother Jia said.
Because they were all close relatives, there was no screen separating them. Just like that, a few tables of banquets were set up in the courtyard.
On the male side of the main table. Jia She, Jia Lian, Jia Zheng, Jia Baoyu, and Jia Zhen accompanied Jia Xuan. Jia She's face was flushed red as he raised his cup one after another, motioning for everyone to drink. Jia Xuan did not reject anyone. With his physical fitness, he could almost reach the point where he could drink a thousand glasses without getting drunk.
Jia Lian was upset at the table. This Di son of his did not even have the right to speak in front of a Shu son. Looking at the high-spirited Jia Xuan, Jia Lian could only lower his head and drink alone.
Jia Zhen and his son did not think too much. They only thought about how to curry favor with Jia Xuan so that they could obtain certain benefits in the future. Moreover, what did the struggle for the Rong Mansion's family property have to do with them? Therefore, they frequently toasted Jia Xuan at the wine table and said a basket of currying favor.
Jia She was a little drunk. He looked at Jia Lian with hazy eyes. This good-for-nothing son. Thinking about how he and his daughter-in-law, Wang Xifeng, had fawned over the second branch all these years, she felt angry. Then, he said angrily," Who are you putting on an act for? You want to inherit the Rong Mansion? What a joke.”
Jia Lian, who was drinking, was shocked when he heard this. Could it be that his father wanted to cripple him and let his third brother inherit the title?
Not only Jia Lian, but everyone present, including Grandmother Jia, was shocked. Could it be that the struggle between Di and Shu had already begun? It wasn't just Wang Xifeng. Even the sisters looked at Jia Lian worriedly.
"You bastard, you're drunk again. Hu Qin what?”Grandmother Jia said angrily. In fact, she had also thought of letting Jia Baoyu inherit this title. However, with Baoyu's personality, it might not be a good thing. If Jia Lian inherited the Rong Mansion, then with their support, her Baoyu would definitely be able to live a peaceful and happy life. Even if she was no longer around, with the closeness between Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, Baoyu would not have a hard time.
However, if Jia Xuan inherited the Rong Mansion, she would not be able to suppress it even when she was alive, let alone when she was no longer around. How would her Baoyu live?
Jia Xuan looked at the pale Jia Lian and the expressions of his sisters. How could he not understand what they were thinking? It was also because of this brother of his who had suddenly popped out. How could he be as close as a brother who he spent every day with? Jia Xuan laughed at himself.
Fried Beans, who was far away, looked over worriedly. He wanted to come over but didn't dare to, which warmed Jia Xuan's heart. Then, he shook his head slightly at her.
"Father is drunk. Since ancient times, there has been a difference between Di and Shu. Moreover, Second Brother Lian did not make any big mistakes. It was better for her father to go back and rest when he was drunk.”Jia Xuan waved his hand and had the servant boy at the side help Jia She back to the east courtyard.
However, the faint kinship with Rong Mansion had been cut off.
"Third brother, I…" Jia Lian said with some shame.
"Second brother, as long as you do the right thing and sit properly, no one can take away this title.”Jia Xuan interrupted Jia Lian.
"Alright, this little brother can't hold his liquor. I won't accompany Second Brother anymore. Goodbye!”After saying that, he bowed to Grandmother Jia and went back without looking back. Fried Beans followed closely behind.
Only then did everyone in the Jia family react. Their performance just now had indeed hurt Jia Xuan's heart a little. However, this was human nature.
Grandmother Jia sighed." Forget it. I won't disturb you anymore."”With that said, she left with Yuanyang's help.
Lin Daiyu and the others looked at each other. "This time, we've hurt Third Brother's heart. However, this is also human nature. We are naturally worried about Second Brother Lian. After all, we spend every day together.”Jia Tanchun said.
"You can say that, but it doesn't make sense. After all, people are close and distant. Moreover, this is the first time we've met Third Brother. I don't think Third Brother is a petty person. He should be able to understand human nature. Things will naturally be different when we get closer in the future.”Lin Daiyu said.
"I think Third Brother is better than Second Brother Lian!”Jia Xichun added. The girls smiled but didn't say anything.
"Aren't you being too petty? Her brother, who she spent every day with, was naturally much stronger than her brother, who had suddenly appeared. It's natural to be worried." After Jia Xuan felt relieved, he turned his head to look at Fried Beans, who was looking at him worriedly. Her heart warmed.
"Why are you looking at your Third Master like that?"
"Third Master, don't be sad. You still have fried beans.”the little girl comforted.
"Why is Third Master so sad?”As he spoke, he rubbed her little head.
"Didn't we live our lives together in the past? When have they ever treated me as a proper master? Now that my life is getting better and better, if I'm sad because of this, then Third Master will be a fool.”Jia Xuan said.
"It's good that Third Master understands. The girls were all good. After a long time, they would naturally get close to Third Master. Third Master needs something else so that I can get the kitchen to prepare it.”Fried Bean laughed.
"I think it's the big girl who wants to eat something.”Jia Xuan laughed.
"Third Master is actually spouting nonsense." After saying that, she ran away quickly.
Jia Xuan thought to himself that it seemed like he had guessed correctly. It was this greedy girl, Fried Bean, who wanted to eat good things.
Yes, after Jia Xuan was conferred the title of nobility, the spring of Fried Bean Girl came. Now that Fried Bean's status was different, no one dared to make things difficult for her in the kitchen. She would bring whatever she wanted to eat. In the past few days, even her little face had become a little round.
"Yo! Isn't this Fried Bean Girl? If you have any instructions, just let the little girls know. Young Lady, why did you come personally?" Liu Wujia from the kitchen said with a smile.
