Jia Xuan entered the Rong Qing Hall and bowed to Grandmother Jia." Grandson has returned. At least you have not disgraced the legacy of Rong Country."”Hearing this, Jia She and Jia Zheng's faces turned slightly red. The sisters had strange expressions as they thought to themselves, Does this mean that First Master and Second Master are unfilial descendants?
"Yes, it's good that you're back safely. In the future, when you open your own residence, you have to think about what you should do and what you shouldn't do. Don't make enemies everywhere and bring trouble to your family.”Grandmother Jia said expressionlessly. Jia Xuan was baffled.
"I understand." Jia Xuan could only reply.
"Alright, you're tired from the journey. Go back and rest.”Grandmother Jia actually sent the guests off.
Jia Xuan thought to himself, did something happen while he was not in the Divine Capital? However, it was not a big deal. Otherwise, Grandmother Jia would not be so easy to talk to. Thinking of this, he turned to look at Daiyu and nodded at her. Then, he left Rongqing Hall.
When he returned to his courtyard, he saw three little heads looking around at the door from afar. It was the three little ones.
"Third Master is back!" When they saw Jia Xuan, the three little ones immediately ran over. Fried Bean even threw himself into Jia Xuan's arms." Third Master is finally back. I missed Fried Bean so much."”At this moment, Xiang Ling's figure appeared.
Jia Xuan rubbed the little heads of the three little ones. Perhaps it was because the food was good, but the fried melons and fruits looked even more round and unusually cute. Then, he walked to Xiang Ling's side and hugged her, causing Xiang Ling's face to turn red.
When Jia Xuan brought the four girls back to the courtyard, Jian Mei and the other two girls brought a courtyard full of little girls. "Lord Marquis An!"
"Ann! Get up."
Under the service of the servant girls, Jia Xuan washed up and changed into his normal clothes before sitting in the room. "What happened during my absence?”Jia Xuan asked.
"I know. I don't know who Second Master Bao offended outside. He was tied up in a sack and beaten up.”Fried Bean said first.
So it was Baoyu who was beaten! Jia Xuan thought to himself, No wonder Grandmother Jia's expression was so ugly today. But what did this have to do with him? Did they think that Baoyu was beaten up because of her? However, if he wanted to take revenge on her, why would he suffer so lightly? This shouldn't be the case. Since he could not understand, Jia Xuan simply gave up on thinking about it. He would know sooner or later.
Because Jia Xuan had been conferred the title of Marquis, the Rong Mansion had to hold a grand banquet. The people who came were all old friends of Rong Mansion, like the four kings. In the evening, Jia Xuan changed into a red flying fish costume. This flying fish was not that flying fish. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws, clearly resembling a python. Wearing a flying fish robe and a purple gold crown, Jia Xuan looked even more handsome and extraordinary. He entered the Second Hall to pay his respects to Grandmother Jia. At this time, Grandmother Jia's side was filled with imperial wives. When they saw Jia Xuan enter, they all stopped talking.
"Come, Brother Xuan, let me introduce you to a family friend of our Jia family.”Grandmother Jia smiled and pointed to the four imperial consorts sitting at the head of the table." These are the imperial consorts of Dongping Prince, Nan 'an Prince, Xining Prince, and Beijing Prince. Why haven't you come over to greet them?"”
"Jia Xuan greets all the imperial concubines!”Jia Xuan bowed helplessly.
The imperial concubines supported him." There's no need to be so polite. We're all old relatives.”Consort Dowager Dong Ping said.
"I didn't expect Rong Country to have such a good grandson.”South Peace State Imperial Consort said. Xining and Beijing, the two imperial concubines, echoed.
"Everyone, stop praising him. How can a child do anything? He's just relying on his ancestors.”Grandmother Jia also smiled. The imperial concubines smiled on the surface, but in their hearts, they thought, Your ancestor Jia's shadow has been there for a long time, but I haven't seen anyone from your family who can do anything. It wasn't easy to find a capable person, but he still had to give it away.
Jia Xuan greeted the various imperial envoys sitting at the bottom of the hall before leaving the second hall and heading straight for the front courtyard.
The front courtyard was much livelier than the back courtyard. Niu Jizong and the others were all there, including Niu Liang and the others. Jia She and Jia Zheng were accompanying him. Seeing Jia Xuan arrive, they all stood up. "Lord Marquis is so proud of his success that he came late.”Niu Jizong stood up and smiled.
"Uncle, what are you talking about? It's enough to call me Brother Xuan.”Jia Xuan laughed.
"Alright, Brother Xuan, I'll be bold. Let me introduce you. This is the Commandery Prince of Beijing.”Niu Jizong pointed at a young man and said. This person was wearing a white dragon robe with a crown on his head. He was extremely handsome.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Jia Xuan bowed.
"Brother Jia Shi is too polite. You and I are old friends, there is no need to be like this.”However, there was still some arrogance on his face.
The Commandery Prince of Beijing had the highest status here, so he sat at the top. Jia Xuan sat at the first seat on the left, and the rest sat according to their status. Because even Niu Liang and the others had titles, Jia She and Jia Zheng sat at the bottom and the last seats, making the two of them extremely awkward. Because the Commandery Prince of Beijing was present, the seats were arranged according to status and national etiquette, so Jia She, as Jia Xuan's biological father, did not get a good seat.
"Little Wang already knew that Brother Jia Shi's martial arts were peerless, but he was not fated to meet him. After seeing it today, it is indeed extraordinary. In the future, we brothers should still keep in touch.”The Commandery Prince of Beijing said.
"Your highness praises me too much. It's only right for us old friends to interact more. I hope your highness can give me more guidance in the future.”Jia Xuan said politely.
As they were all old friends, the atmosphere was quite good. After thirty days of drinking, he asked," Brother Xuan, when are you moving?”Niu Liang asked.
"Moving the residence is easy, but the servants over there have not been arranged yet.”Jia Xuan said helplessly. He also wanted to move out as soon as possible so that he would not have to pay his respects to Jia She and Grandmother Jia every day. If he moved out, he would be like a bird flying in the sky and a fish jumping in the sea.
Moreover, Jia Xuan's personal soldiers also needed to be replenished. Now that Jia Xuan was a marquis, the number of personal soldiers could reach 300. Moreover, Emperor Longxing had allowed him to open a government and build a yamen. This was not for nothing. In other words, Jia Xuan could still use three battalions of private soldiers. They were paid by the imperial court, but they belonged to Jia Xuan's private soldiers. They could do private things, but they were also stationed outside the city.
Ever since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were only five people who could open a government and build a yamen. Now, there was not a single one. It could be seen that Emperor Long Xing had high hopes for Jia Xuan. Of course, 3000 people wouldn't be enough to cause a rebellion. Jia Xuan's private army was given the title of Asura Army by Emperor Longxing.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, Barons had 50 personal guards, Viscounts had 100, Earls had 200, Marquises had 300, Dukes had 500, Commandery Princes had 1000, and Dukes had 1000.
