As soon as the Xue family entered the capital, they saw the bustling streets and the abundance of people, which was different from other places.
After walking for another half a day, they arrived at Ningrong Street. Suddenly, they saw two large stone lions squatting on the north side of the street. There were three beast-headed doors, and ten armored soldiers stood in front of them. The main door was not open, only the side door was open, and only the east and west corners were open.
There was a plaque above the main entrance, and on it were the words "Imperial Decree to build the Ningguo Mansion".
He headed west again. Not far away, he reached the same three gates and arrived at the Rong Mansion.
The difference between the two Manors was that there were ten armored soldiers standing in front of the Ningguo Manor, with two rows of bronze halberds on both sides.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, no one could stand a halberd without a military title.
Duke had twelve halberds, Marquis had ten halberds, Earl had eight halberds, Viscount had six halberds and Baron had four halberds.
The king had fourteen halberds, the prince had sixteen halberds, and only the emperor had eighteen halberds.
The emperor was granted the title of king.
Those who have no military merit cannot stand a halberd.
Jia Wei was granted the title of Lord Wu Ping and two halberds.
Although an earl was treated like a marquis.
In addition, only those with real power could set up soldiers in front of the manor.
This was a family of generals, Xue Pan looked at everything in front of him with envy.
Which man didn't love power?
Zhou Rui's family walked out with a servant.
Zhou Rui's family was Madam Wang's concubine. She had grown up with Madam Wang and Aunt Xue in the Wang family, so she naturally recognized Aunt Xue. She came up to welcome Aunt Xue and the others very politely. She quickly instructed the servant girls to help move the Xue family's things into the residence while guiding Aunt Xue into the residence through the ceremonial door.
The Xue family was a guest. It was their first time here, so the women naturally went through the ceremonial door.
The Xue family couldn't leave Jiaomen yet, and only after settling down for a long time could they go through Jiaomen like the Jia family.
Zhou Rui's servant took Xue Pan to see Jia Zheng.
Xue Pan entered from the side door of Rong Mansion, so he naturally entered from the side door since he was a male guest.
Madam Wang had already received a letter about the Xue family entering the capital. When the Xue family arrived at Ningrong Street just now, she knew about it. She was already at the second gate early in the morning, leading Li Wan and Wang Xifeng to welcome them.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Lady Wang led Aunt Xue and her daughter to pay their respects to Grandmother Jia.
With Grandmother Jia's seniority, it was naturally impossible for her to come out to welcome him.
Only the Xue family could pay their respects.
(87 The version was changed for the first time.)
Before Aunt Xue got married, she was also the legitimate daughter of the Wang family. Naturally, she had come to the Jia family, so she didn't feel strange about all this.
She had seen the soldiers in front of the manor when she was still alive.
No matter how steady Baochai was, she was only twelve or thirteen years old. Although the Xue family was rich, their mansion in Jinling was also beautiful. In the end, it could not compare to the solemnity and exquisiteness of the Jia family. The soldiers on duty in front of the mansion, the clothes of the old women and maids, all shocked Baochai. This was a real noble family.
However, this was normal.
The two houses of Ning Rong were ordered to build the public house.
What does the imperial edict mean?
If the royal family pays for your construction, it's called imperial construction.
No matter how rich you are, there are many things you can't use.
The word imperial order was different.
When they entered Grandmother Jia's room, they saw that the room was surrounded by pearls and jade. It was gorgeously dressed, and in the middle sat an old woman with silver hair.
If there was no one around.
Grandmother Jia really looked like the kind and kind-looking Matriarch.
Seeing Madam Wang lead Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai in, the old lady smiled.
"Greetings to the old lady!"
Aunt Xue stepped forward and bowed to Grandmother Jia.
Grandmother Jia asked Yuanyang to help her up." Aunt, you don't have to be so polite. We're all relatives. It's strange that you're treating us as outsiders."”
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Aunt Xue turned to Baochai and said,"Baochai, quickly greet the old lady.”
A servant girl had already placed a kneeling mat in the hall. Xue Baochai stepped forward and knelt respectfully. She said to Grandmother Jia,"Greetings…"
Her voice was pleasant to the ears.
"Alright, alright, get up quickly."
The Sanchun sisters ran up and pulled Baochai up."Sister, you're here. We've been waiting for you for a long time…"
With a smile on her face, Baochai carefully sized up the Sanchun sisters.
Jia Baoyu and Daiyu also came over and sized up this legendary Sister Bao to see what kind of person she was.
Because Jia Baoyu had to go to school, he could only play with Sanchun and Daiyu a few days a year.
Even if it was a holiday, he didn't dare to look for Jia Kui.
As for Xiren, She Yue, and the others, they were all drawn away by Jia Rong.
Now, he had returned to Madam Wang's side.
Usually, other than sending gifts, he rarely saw them.
The servants of the two manors did not dare to disobey Jia Cui.
They would lose their heads, and once they lost their heads, they would lose their entire family.
Even people like Xiren who had plans in their hearts did not dare to get too close to Jia Baoyu.
The servants in Jia Baoyu's room were as many as Jia Meng said.
Even Mrs. Wang and the old lady dared to change.
How could they dare to take the risk?
That uncle could even beat his aunt into a pig's head, let alone servants like them.
Jia Baoyu had a relative visiting him today, so Grandmother Jia had asked for leave.
If it was true, Jia Dairu would naturally let them go.
After all, it was normal for students to take leave because of family matters.
Usually, Grandmother Jia and Madam Wang would often ask for leave for Jia Baoyu because of their heartache.
There were all sorts of theoretical reasons.
But most of them were rejected by Jia.
In the school rules that Jia Cui had given to the school.
He had already expected this.
Therefore, there were a few of them.
No matter if it was windy, rainy, thunder, lightning, or blizzard, they had to come.
Fever, cold, cough, there would be someone to check on them.
Burning incense, worshipping Buddha, and returning to his vows are not allowed.
If he couldn't even read, why would he burn incense?
You want to burn incense? Go to the Jia family ancestral hall and kneel for a day. I'll let you burn as much as you want.
It could be said that these rules were set up for Jia Baoyu alone.
This was because other than the Jia Clan's disciples, no one else was allowed to enter the school without Jia Cui's permission.
As for those disobedient disciples of the Jia family, the grass on their graves should have grown a few waves now.
The rest were basically the Jia family's outstanding children. Jia Cui had invited Jinshi back to teach, so they couldn't wait to go to school every day.
There was no need to find someone to supervise.
In ancient times, it was really important for relatives to come to the family.
That was why Jia Dairu approved the leave.
