In the royal study of the palace, Emperor Long Xing was sitting beside the imperial table. A square-faced middle-aged man was sitting below him. He was the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, Wang Ziteng.
"What do you think of the Blacksmith Division's smuggling of the Eight Bulls 'crossbows?”Emperor Long Xing said.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the matter of the Craftsmen Department privately circulating the Eight Bulls Crossbow is a major matter and cannot be underestimated. If they can produce Eight Bulls Crossbow today, who knows what will be produced tomorrow. Therefore, I suggest that the officials of the Craftsmen Department be replaced. No matter what, they have committed the crime of dereliction of duty.”Wang Ziteng stood up and said.
"Sit!" Emperor Long Xing stretched out his hand and pressed down, and Wang Ziteng sat down again.
"This way, we can prevent the weapons from being leaked out without permission, and we can also arrange for His Majesty's own people. It's really killing two birds with one stone."
"Yes! What you said makes sense." Emperor Long Xing nodded. Emperor Long Xing did not bring many people with him. Wang Ziteng was one of the people whom Emperor Long Xing trusted because ever since Emperor Long Xing ascended the throne, Wang Ziteng had been leaning towards him.
Emperor Long Xing had asked Wang Ziteng to stay for dinner. When he returned home after dinner, when Wang Ziteng was talking to Emperor Long Xing in the palace, Emperor Long Xing's love and trust for Jia Xuan was always shown on his face. This caused Wang Ziteng's respect for Jia Xuan to increase.
Time flew by and it was May. At the Northern Zhenbei Manor," Third Master, Third Master, the Ningguo Manor has sent an invitation to invite Third Master to attend the birthday banquet."”Fried Bean trotted in, followed by a pair of small tails.
After Jia Xuan read the invitation, he found out that Jia Jing was not going down the mountain. He was just holding a birthday banquet at the Ningguo Manor to make his relatives happy.
Jia Xuan casually threw the invitation aside. "Where did you go crazy again? Look at this head of sweat.”
"Third Master asked someone to find them. Those two little bears are too cute.”Fried Bean smiled and said," Let's go play with them."
"That's called a panda. How many times have I said it, but I can't remember!”Jia Xuan knocked on Fried Bean's head. It turned out that Jia Xuan had been especially fond of giant pandas in his previous life. It was just that he couldn't raise a national treasure himself, but here, he could fulfill his childhood dream. After all, he was the current Northguard Marquis. This small matter was nothing to her.
Therefore, he sent people from afar to find this pair of giant pandas who were less than a year old. In order to raise the panda, a large bamboo forest was planted in the garden. Moreover, this pair of young giant pandas were cute and docile. That was why he let Fried Bean and the others get close to them. Because it was delivered the day before yesterday. Therefore, Fried Beans had never remembered their names.
"Third Master can't always call her panda. Third Master, let's give her a name.”Fried Bean looked at Jia Xuan expectantly.
"I've already thought of the names. How about Fang Fang and Yuan Yuan?”Jia Xuan said.
Fried Bean lowered his head and thought about the chubby and naive appearance of the pair of pandas. Fang Fang and Yuan Yuan were really fitting. "Good! I'll call you Fang Fang and Yuan Yuan." Fried Bean said happily.
"Sister Fried Beans, didn't you say that you wanted to call it Fried Noodles and Fried Pancake?”Fried Melon Fried Fruit said. Jia Xuan's face darkened when he heard that.
"I think Third Master's Fang Fang Yuan sounds better. Think about it, Fang Fang Yuan is chubby and has a round figure.”Fried Bean said flatteringly. At this moment, Xiang Ling ran over from afar, clutching her skirt. However, a large piece of her skirt was missing.
Xiang Ling saw that everyone was looking at her strangely. She blushed and said," It's all because of those two pandas.”It turned out that when Xiang Ling was playing with the two pandas, one of them had torn her dress. The three little ones immediately laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.
"Sister Xiang Ling, those two bears have names on them. They will be called Fang Fang and Yuan Yuan from now on. The older one was called Fang Fang, and the younger one was called Yuan Yuan.”Fried Bean said.
"Then I'll be the dress that Yuan Yuan tore. I won't feed it milk next time.”Xiang Ling pouted angrily.
Jia Xuan looked at Xiang Ling's red lips and felt his heart warm. When Xiang Ling saw Jia Xuan staring at her, she thought of those embarrassing things and her face couldn't help but turn red. She stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
"Who's going with us to the Ningguo Manor tomorrow?”Jia Xuan quickly changed the topic.
"Me!" The four women raised their hands at the same time. Seeing Jia Xuan nod his head, the four girls jumped up and down happily.
The next morning, Jia Xuan brought the servant girl and arrived at the Ningguo Manor under the protection of two hundred personal guards. Because Jia Jing did not come, there was no big event. He only invited the Jia clansmen and in-laws. Most of these in-laws and old friends had sent people to send gifts, and no one had come personally to congratulate them.
Jia Rong had been waiting at the door. When she saw Jia Xuan arrive, she hurried over to greet him." Nephew, greet Third Uncle. Third Uncle, quickly follow me in. Father is waiting."”
After arranging for Fried Beans and the others to go to the back residence, Jia Xuan followed Jia Rong to the Ningguo Manor's main hall, Ning An Hall. At this moment, Ning An Hall's Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Qiang, and the others had already arrived. As for Jia Baoyu, he was definitely in the back residence.
"Greetings, Father, Second Uncle, Second Brother, Big Brother Zhen.”Jia Xuan bowed.
"Nephew greets Third Uncle." Jia Qiang also greeted.
"Humph! How could a junior make so many elders wait?”Jia Zheng said.
Jia Xuan ignored him. She thought that her daughter was a little arrogant after being conferred the title of imperial concubine.
"Big Brother Zhen, to Uncle's birthday, this small gift is not enough.”Jia Xuan said. Jia Zheng, who was beside him, saw that Jia Xuan did not take care of him. He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him.
"Third brother, you are too polite." Jia Zhen took the box from Jia Xuan's hands, opened it, and took a deep breath. He thought in his heart, what a big deal.
There was a Longevity Lord made of glass in the box. It was crystal clear and had no impurities at all. It was obviously expensive.
"Big Brother Zhen, I'll go to the back residence to pay my respects to the old lady first. When the banquet starts later, just call me when someone comes.”Jia Xuan was not willing to stay here and pretend to be a snake with this group of people, so he found an excuse to go to the back of the house.
"Third Brother, you go on your own. Paying respects to the old lady is the right thing to do.”Jia Zhen smiled apologetically.
When they reached the second gate, there was naturally a little servant girl leading the way. After a while, they arrived at the back of the house. They saw Grandmother Jia sitting high up in the main seat, leaning against Baoyu beside her. Below her were the two madams of Prince Xing, as well as Madam You, Qin Keqing, and a group of girls from the West Mansion.
"Greetings to the old lady." Jia Xuan bowed.
"Forget it." Grandmother Jia nodded.
"Brother Xuan, you made such a big scene yesterday. The entire residence was disturbed. The old lady didn't sleep well the whole night." Madam Wang looked at Jia Xuan and said.
"Second Shen, you still don't remember. You women shouldn't get involved in the affairs of men outside.”Jia Xuan sneered.
"You! The old lady. Look, is there still a hierarchy here?”Madam Wang was trembling with anger.
