At the pier of the Divine Capital, the soldiers went ashore first. After taking control of the pier, Jia Xuan led his personal guards down the boat, and a soft sedan followed closely behind.
Jia Xuan led his bodyguards to protect Daiyu and headed to the capital. Meanwhile, Liu Cheng led 1000 soldiers back to the Li Wei camp.
When they entered the Divine Capital, Jia Xuan sent out 50 cavalry to escort Daiyu back to the Rong Mansion, while he himself had to enter the palace to hand in the imperial edict.
In the royal study," I, Jia Xuan, have returned to the capital to deliver the decree.”Jia Xuan bowed.
"Don't be polite. Haha, you and Lin Qing did a good job in Yangzhou.”Emperor Long Xing happily helped Jia Xuan up personally.
"Come, tell me about it."
Although Jia Xuan knew that Emperor Long Xing already knew about it, he still narrated it from the beginning to the end, making Emperor Long Xing's eyebrows dance with joy.
Although there was a secret book, it was not as detailed and vivid as Jia Xuan, the person involved. It was dinner time and Emperor Longxing gave him a banquet. He only left the palace before the palace was locked.
The Rong Mansion was also full of people. Grandmother Jia welcomed Lin Daiyu. Because Lin Daiyu had been conferred the title of nobility, her status was different. Other than Grandmother Jia, she was the only one with a higher status, so she sat in the seat below Grandmother Jia. This made Madam Wang unhappy, but she had no choice. After all, according to the national etiquette, she, a fifth-grade pleasant person, had to bow when she saw Daiyu, the county head.
By the time Jia Xuan returned to his courtyard, it was already late at night. Before he entered the courtyard, he saw a little girl sitting at the door. It wasn't fried beans, but that. Perhaps because she was young and liked to sleep, although she was sitting there, her little head was dozing off. Seeing this scene, Jia Xuan's heart couldn't help but feel warm.
Jia Xuan gently picked up the fried beans and walked into the courtyard. The plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum were also waiting in the courtyard. Jia Xuan shook his head at them, then carried the fried beans to the bedroom. The four women looked on enviously.
The next morning. Third Master, when did you come back? Why didn't I know?”Fried Bean opened his eyes and saw Jia Xuan sleeping beside him. He couldn't help but be surprised.
"You slept like a little pig. If you knew, it would be a ghost.”Jia Xuan rolled his eyes.
"Is that so? "Maybe I was too sleepy and fell asleep without washing up…" As she spoke, she looked at Jia Xuan, but her small face was red with embarrassment.
"Alright, stop pretending. Aren't you going to play?”Jia Xuan rubbed her little head.
"I'm not going anywhere with Third Master today.”Fried Bean's small face was beaming.
Gladiolus, who was on night duty in the outer room, heard the movement in the room and brought water to help Jia Xuan wash up.
After breakfast, he took the fried beans to exercise for a while before going to Rongqing Hall. After all, he had just returned from overseas. It would be too unreasonable not to go and greet Grandmother Jia.
When they arrived at Rongqing Hall, Fried Beans, Little Tiao-Er, and a group of sisters went to chat. The moment Jia Xuan entered the room, he saw that everyone was really present. It seemed like they were waiting for him.
"I heard that you killed someone from the Zhen family?"
"Yes, I killed him!" Jia Xuan's face was calm because he knew that this would happen. In the hall, Daiyu looked at Jia Xuan with some worry. Jia Xuan shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
"You…! Do you know that our Zhen and Jia families are old relatives and friends? How could you be so ruthless?" Grandmother Jia said angrily.
"Old relative? I can't tell where he kissed her." Without waiting for the old lady to speak, he continued," Even if he is an old relative, he shouldn't have done such a thing. He has already sat on my neck and pooped. Do I still have to serve him?" Besides, I have an imperial order, so I can't tolerate personal feelings.”
"You!" Grandmother Jia was so angry that she couldn't speak. At this moment, Madam Wang said," Brother Xuan, how can you talk to the old lady like that? Even if he had violated the laws of the country, he should have been given a lighter punishment for the sake of the two families. I shouldn't have killed him."
"Second Aunt, I advise you to think carefully before you speak. You are the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, not the Zhen family.”Jia Xuan continued," Since some things have already been done, you can't just pretend that they didn't happen.”As he spoke, he looked at Madam Wang coldly. Madam Wang's face turned pale.
"Alright, there's no need to cause a family conflict because of outsiders. Your second aunt is doing this for your own good. Isn't she afraid that you'll make enemies everywhere?”Aunt Xue came out to persuade him.
Jia Xuan wasn't good either. He was too harsh on Aunt Xue, so he only snorted at Madam Wang and didn't say anything else.
"The Zhen family sent someone to pass on the message and even sent a generous gift. They said that the branch family made the decision on their own and that their main branch did not know. I don't care if he knows or not. This matter ends here. You can't hold onto it anymore.”Grandmother Jia said helplessly. Grandmother Jia could do nothing about this grandson of hers. Other than filial piety, she had nothing to suppress him.
"I didn't want to implicate anyone. This was just because they had a guilty conscience.”
"Third brother, now that you're back and have done such a big thing in Jiangnan. Should we invite a host?" Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes and said.
"Second Sister-in-law's words are just a host, so what? Just call your brothers and sisters over to my place.”Jia Xuan laughed.
"In my opinion, let's do it today. Let's hold the banquet here at the old lady's place. Third brother, what do you think?”Xifeng Wang said with a smile.
Grandmother Jia's expression improved a lot after hearing Wang Xifeng's joke. "You, a run-down family, only care about this little bit of silver?”
"Ancestor, you don't know, but there's a very good hot pot restaurant in the east of the city. It was extremely popular. Without a hundred taels of silver, it was impossible to set up a banquet. There were still people who couldn't get in line. Third brother, do you know?"
"The restaurant Second Sister-in-law mentioned is mine. If Second Sister-in-law wants to eat it, it's easy. I'll get someone to send it over.”Jia Xuan said indifferently.
