"Is that Prince Lian's residence that Brother Yi is talking about?”
Jia Zheng was a Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Works. The Department of Construction and Repair was in charge of the construction and repair of palaces and government offices.
In the Divine Capital, there was no royal palace or dukedom that he didn't know about.
"That's right."
Jia Fou nodded and replied.
As soon as he finished speaking.
The entire hall was shocked, and everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
Although Ningrong Street was named after Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion, there were more than just Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion on this street.
During the Taizu period, there were many imperial clan residences located here, but they were later moved away by Taizong (Retired Emperor)'s order, leaving a separate Wang Fu Street.
However, there was still a residence on this street. It was the residence of the Eight Sons of the Retired Emperor and Prince Lian.
Prince Lian, Chen Xian, had been favored by Retired Emperor since he was a child. He was conferred the title of King of Chang 'an at the age of 17. Among all the princes, he was the youngest to be conferred the title of King.
The Retired Emperor had once ordered him to manage the Department of Purging Officials in the Ministry of Revenue and take charge of the promotion of officials in the world. Later, due to his meritorious service, he was granted the title of Prince Lian and was appointed to act in the Ministry of Works. He was also the minister of the Four Barbarians Pavilion. When the Crown Prince was deposed, he was the most powerful candidate for the Crown Prince. Even the Fourteenth Prince, the current King of Zhongshun, followed behind him.
However, after the failure of the Inheritance War and the death of Prince Lian, this Imperial Residence had been sealed.
No one had expected that His Majesty would bestow this manor to Jia Fou as the residence of Marquis Huben. How great was His Majesty's favor!
"Sigh!"
Looking around, how could Jia Cong not know the thoughts of the Jia clan members? He could not help but sigh in his heart.
No wonder the Jia family's two mansions fell so easily and fell into Emperor Yong Xi's trap so easily.
How could these brainless fellows protect the great family business?
Although Grandmother Jia had experienced three dynasties, she was still a woman and had a narrow vision.
Prince Lian's residence? This was a furnace that could burn a person to ashes if they were not careful.
Emperor Yong Xi bestowing this mansion was clearly using him as a shield. Even if the others didn't say anything, the loyal prince wouldn't let this matter rest.
"Brother, I'm hungry."
At this moment, Xichun, who was in Jia Fu's arms, pouted and said aggrievedly.
After waiting for so long, it was difficult for her.
"Alright, alright. Big brother will put little sister down to eat now.”
After saying that, Jia Fu put Xichun down and sat down on his seat.
Seeing this, everyone understood and called for everyone to take their seats.
After a feast, Jia Fu led Xichun out of Rongxi Hall, and Lin Daiyu followed.
Although Yingchun and Tanchun also wanted to go over, they were not familiar with Jia Cui, so they could only return to their own courtyards.
After watching Jia Cui and the others leave, only Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Rong, Jia Zhen, Lady Xing, Lady Wang, Wang Xifeng, Madam You, and Qin Keqing were left in Rongxi Hall. Grandmother Jia's expression was extremely solemn.
"Today, Brother Xu has returned, so I have something to say.”
"Thud!"
Hearing this.
Everyone was shocked.
Especially Madam Wang, her expression changed drastically.
"Before this, the Jia family had not made any military achievements in the past thirty years. This old one does not wish to say much about the absurdity of the children in the residence.”
"But now, Brother Xu is already a first-grade marquis, the most honorable person in the country.”
"These two manors can't be as unruly as before, and they must listen to Brother Yi's opinion on everything.”
As he spoke.
Grandmother Jia's gaze turned to Madam Wang.
"You were the one who instructed Fourth Miss to take care of her courtyard, right?”
Hearing this, Jia She, Jia Zheng, and the other men in the manor were somewhat puzzled.
Only Wang Xifeng's eyes flickered, and Lady Xing's lips curled up slightly.
Madam You and Qin Keqing seemed to have thought of something, and their expressions turned ugly.
"Since you've done this, you have to admit it.”
"Wang family, you are from the Wang family of Jinling.”
"Your father was once in charge of the tributes and congratulations of the various countries and welcomed the Retired Emperor.”
"His brother, Wang Ziteng, has been promoted all the way and is now the provincial governor of the capital camp.”
"But I have to tell you, the Wang Clan has always relied on the Jia Clan's power. If there's no Jia Clan, where would the Wang Clan come from?”
"Brother Pi is a first-grade marquis. He doesn't even need to say a word, just a look and he can turn the Wang family into ashes.”
"Seeing that you have been diligent for so many years and have given birth to Baoyu, I advise you not to bring disaster to the Wang family.”
Grandmother Jia's words made Madam Wang's face turn extremely pale.
It was not just Grandmother Jia, but everyone in the hall also felt the same.
Wang Xifeng also looked a little afraid, because the Wang family was not only Madam Wang's reliance, but also his.
Unfortunately, Grandmother Jia had overestimated these 'talents' of the Jia family.
.....
On the other side.
Jia Fou led his men into the Ningguo Manor through the gate and walked to the east courtyard.
At this moment, the east courtyard was already guarded by the New Moon Cavalry. When they saw him coming, they bowed in unison."Lord Marquis."
"Older brother, these older sisters…"
It was the first time Xichun, who was in Jia Fu's arms, had seen such a female soldier. Her face was full of curiosity.
Lin Daiyu was also surprised as she sized up the New Moon Cavalry.
"These sisters were specially found by my brother to protect my sister. In the future, they will accompany my sister.”
"Really? Can I leave the residence?"
Xichun looked at Jia Fu with an innocent expression.
"Of course." Jia Cui nodded and smiled.”
"Sister Lin, if you want, I can arrange for a few New Moon Cavalry to go to your courtyard.”
"This…"
Lin Daiyu was also a little moved.
When she was in Gusu, she was not a woman who stayed in her boudoir for a long time.
Lin Ruhai often arranged to accompany Lin Daiyu to play around. However, after coming to the Divine Capital and entering the Jia residence, she had to walk around every day. It was inevitable that she would feel a little bored. However, the place she was living in now was probably not convenient.
As a result, Lin Daiyu's expression was very strange. One moment she was looking forward to it, and the next moment she was depressed.
Jia Fou wanted to laugh when he saw this.
"Big brother."
"Sister Lin lives in the Green Screen, so I think the ancestor won't agree to let these sisters go over.”
Although Xichun was young, she knew a lot of things. She immediately voiced out Lin Daiyu's concerns.
What was that?
Hearing this, Jia Fou instantly frowned."If Sister Lin lives in the Bi Sha Chu, then where does Baoyu live?”
The Rongqing Hall that the Lady Dowager lived in was the largest courtyard in the Rong Mansion, second only to the main hall, the Rongxi Hall.
The master bedroom was separated into several areas. Grandmother Jia lived in the innermost warm pavilion, and a green gauze cabinet was just a door away.
There was a big bed next to the door, and the main room was outside.
He vaguely remembered that in the original novel, Jia Baoyu had begged Grandmother Jia to stay on the big bed next to the green gauze cupboard.
"Brother Bao lives in the warm pavilion."
Lin Daiyu answered timidly.
Hearing this, Jia Cui heaved a sigh of relief. It was not as absurd as the original novel.
A young girl and a young man lived in the same room, separated by only a green gauze cupboard.
It was normal for Mu Ai to have some thoughts that he shouldn't have.
If this were to spread out, wouldn't the Jia family's reputation be even worse?
