Jia She's face was ashen.
Where was his face to be called by his bastard son in front of everyone?
One had to know,
In the Jia residence, even the old matriarch and Grandmother Jia would not call him by his full name. Instead, they would call him Eldest Master.
But now…
Jia Xuan actually called him Jia She!
"Bastard!"
Jia She scolded angrily," Today, I will not talk about your disrespect to me. Jia Rui is dead, so you must take out five hundred taels of silver to hold his funeral!"”
He had just asked for fifty taels.
Now, it was five hundred taels.
Jia She was really asking for an exorbitant price.
In reality, Jia She had sold off a lot of Madam Xing's jewelry, but in the end, he had only managed to gather three thousand taels of silver. After investing it, it could be said to be a drop in the bucket, because the price of silk had already increased by eleven times!
Every time he thought about how Jia Xuan had ten thousand taels of silver, Jia She would be extremely envious.
"Impossible."
Jia Xuan rejected him and was about to leave with Curly Hair.
Jia Qiang and Jia Rong saw Grandmother Jia and Madam Wang's eyes and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them,""Uncle Xuan, look at you. You didn't even attend Jia Rui's funeral and even went out to tour the mountains and play. How can that be? Why don't you take out some money and let Jia Rui leave in glory? Otherwise, if Jia Rui finds out, he'll probably blame you!”
As soon as he said this,
Madam Wang revealed a look of praise. En, using power to suppress others, using the dead to speak. This Jia Rong and Jia Qiang were quite clever, as expected of the righteous great-great-grandson of Duke Ning.
"Heh-"
Jia Xuan sneered and looked at the two brothers."What's wrong? Do you think I don't know that you caused Jia Rui's death? You even extorted fifty taels of silver from Jia Rui before you died. I'm afraid that the first person Jia Rui will look for will be you! I heard that after a person dies, their soul will return for seven days. I'm afraid Jia Rui will pester you for seven days to collect the debt.”
Jia Qiang and Jia Rong's faces turned pale.
She wondered how Jia Xuan knew about this.!
could it be
Would Jia Rui really come looking for them?
Their faces were as pale as paper, and they were scared. They quickly kowtowed to the house where Jia Rui had died, and muttered words of apology. Coincidentally, a cold wind blew, almost scaring the two of them out of their wits.
"Uncle Rui, we were wrong, we were wrong!”
"Wuwu, Grandpa Rui, don't come looking for us.”
“....”
When Grandmother Jia and the others saw this, they also understood that what Jia Xuan said about Jia Qiang and Jia Rong extorting fifty taels of silver was probably true. Jia Rui was killed by the two of them!
"You Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, you actually caused Jia Rui's death!”
Wang Xifeng quickly stood up and cursed. As she cursed, she desperately gave the two people a look. She was afraid that the fact that she had killed Jia Rui would be exposed.
Fortunately, Jia Qiang and Jia Rong were not stupid.
After seeing the look in Wang Xifeng's eyes, they lowered their heads and took the blame for Wang Xifeng. They planned to extort a sum of money from Wang Xifeng later.
"Aiyaya, my family is unfortunate, my family is unfortunate!”
Grandmother Jia wailed.
The womenfolk and servant girls were also discussing animatedly.
Jia Xuan swept a cold glance at Jia She and said,"Take care of yourself."
After saying this, Jia Xuan directly left Rong Country Manor with Curly Hair, not giving Jia She, Grandmother Jia, and the others any face at all.
Grandmother Jia was so angry that she scolded the hoodlum,
Madam Wang's expression was also very ugly.
Jia Zheng sighed. He was not in the mood to participate in this noisy situation at home and also left with a flick of his sleeves.
"Unfilial son! I'm so angry!"
Jia She stomped his feet fiercely, wishing he could kill Jia Xuan immediately.
However, he had no way to target Jia Xuan. He could only be furious here.
Grandmother Jia and Madam Wang looked at Jia Xuan's back, their faces filled with hatred. They did not blame Jia Rong or Jia Qiang for causing Jia Rui's death. Instead, they hated Jia Xuan.
He had no choice.
Who asked Jia Baoyu to be a little introverted from Jia Xuan's blow in the past few days? Daiyu, Baochai, and Xiangyun were not close to Baoyu either, but it made Madam Wang and Grandmother Jia worried. If it were not for Qingwen's coaxing to play with Jia Baoyu, Jia Baoyu would have died.
"I'll wait for you to go out and see how you die!”
Madam Wang said viciously in her heart.
......
On Jia Xuan's side, after leaving Rong Guo Manor, Jia Xuan brought Curly Hair to the royal hunting ground in the west of the capital.
Rather than saying that Marquis Chengyang had organized this poetry festival, it would be better to say that it was organized by the old Emperor. Its purpose was to boost morale before the expedition, to let the young generation of the high officials and nobles in Jingdou know that they valued martial arts and not become the party of surrender and peace negotiations.
Therefore, Jia Xuan had to go, Cheng Shi and the others had to go, and so did Minister Qin.
Otherwise, just by relying on the title of Marquis of Chengyang, he would not be able to gather all the officials and nobles in Jingdou.
After all, he was only a first-class marquis.
Even the new Marquis Cheng Shi didn't have to give him face.
"Curly, in front of us is the royal hunting grounds to the west of Jingdou. His Majesty has summoned us to hold a hunting poetry meet, so there should be a lot of martial arts. Your body is weaker, so you have to be careful when the time comes. Stay well among the women and don't run around.”
Jia Xuan instructed.
"There's one more thing, don't!"
Before Jia Xuan could finish, she was interrupted by Curly Hair. She blinked playfully and imitated Jia Xuan's tone.
"I guess my husband also wants to tell me not to let Curly Hair touch those flowers and plants, lest it gets a flower rash. Hehe ~ Curly Hair understands, my husband can rest assured!”
"You're naughty."
"Hehe…"
Soon, Jia Xuan brought Curly Hair to the Imperial Hunting Ground.
The royal hunting ground was a huge garden with lush vegetation and grass. There were many wild beasts such as deer and deer, and even wolves. There were also many man-made pavilions, corridors, archery targets, and a vast lake. The scenery was extremely beautiful. This hunting ground was usually a place where the royal children played and hunted. Now that the old emperor had chosen this place for the gathering, it was obvious what he meant.
When Jia Xuan arrived,
There were already quite a few people in the imperial garden. The women stayed in a separate pavilion and corridor. They could directly watch the men perform the Six Arts of Gentlemen and recite poems.
Next to the horse track was where the children of the nobles gathered. They followed their fathers here to compete for the beauty's smile and display their skills.
There was a tent beside the horse track, and inside it were the important officials of the court, the old Emperor, and the royal children.
Jia Xuan sent Curly Hair to the pavilions where the women were, causing countless women in the capital to exclaim in surprise and envy. It was because Jia Xuan was extremely handsome and had made great contributions at a young age. His future was boundless and could be said to be the dream lover of the women in the capital!
Curly Hair had never seen such a big scene before and was a little flustered. Fortunately, her best friend Wan Qiqi waved her hand and Curly Hair quickly walked over and sat beside Wan Qiqi.
Wan Qiqi was the eldest daughter of the Wan family.
She was also the only good friend and best friend of Curly Hair. She usually stood on Curly Hair's side and treated her very well.
When Jia Xuan saw that Curly Hair was beside Wan Qiqi and Xiao Yuanyi was in the pavilion of many women who were already mothers not far away, she felt relieved and walked towards the tent beside the horse farm.
The second young master of the Marquis of Chengyang, Ling Tian, the Xue Family's Xue Pan, and the Wu Family's young master, who had benefited from this, all gritted their teeth in hatred when they saw Jia Xuan.
"This bastard is here too."
"Of course. He is the most popular person in front of His Majesty. Of course he has to come.”
"If not for this bastard, we wouldn't have to buy silk at ten times the price.”
"It's fine, young master Ling Tian. When Jia Xuan goes out to battle, won't the Su Clan Cloth Shop be at our mercy? Jia She was not on Jia Xuan's side. When the time came, he would definitely make the Su Family Cloth Shop spit out all the silk!”
"That's right. We can still use our connections. Jia Xuan can forget about coming back alive!”
The few of them spoke one after another, all filled with hatred for Jia Xuan!
