The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 525 My name is Shi Xiangyun

Early in the morning of this day, Chen Zhao, accompanied by housekeeper Sun Xiaodong and several servants, came to Rongguo Duke's mansion in two carriages and several servants carrying gifts.

After all, he is Lin Ruhai's nephew and subordinate, and he escorted Daiyu to Beijing, so he has a little bit of family relationship with Rongguo Mansion.

Chen Zhao is a junior again, so he should come to visit and meet the ancestors of the Jia family.

Before, I had the emperor's order and was very busy, so it was passable if I didn't have time to visit, but now I have pulled away, and it would be rude if I didn't come to visit again.

Just walked to the entrance of Ningrong Street, yes, Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion together occupy an entire street, and the aura of prosperity has already broken through the sky.

Passing through the three archways, I saw people coming and going on the street, there were porters delivering things, porters reporting letters, and other people of various colors.

With their heads held high and arrogant, they were either from Ningrong's mansion or from other duke's mansions who came to do business; they were bent over and lowered their heads, with a look of flattery that lingered on their faces, or a look of respect and fear that could not be concealed. Most of the people who live here are here to visit relatives or hug their thighs.

On both sides of the street are various hawkers, who sell food, gadgets, and calligraphy and paintings, occupying the entire street sparsely.

Both houses are on the north side of the road, with Ningguo Mansion at the east end and Rongguo Mansion at the west end. There are two large stone lions squatting at the door. Each has three animal-headed gates. In front of the two doors, there are about a dozen or so splendid figures sitting in rows. People who obey.
Chen Zhao led the horse, squinted his eyes and looked twice, and Sun Xiaodong next to him leaned into his ear and whispered, "My lord, I heard that Ningguo's mansion respects the lord's hereditary first-class Shenwei general?"

"That's right, Duke Daihua only inherited the first-class Shenwei general, and later passed it on to Master Jing. It's just that Master Jing devoted himself to Taoism after being awarded a Jinshi, so he passed the title and family fortune to Brother Zhen. Now Ningguo The title of the mansion should be the third-class General Wei Lie’s mansion. As for the Rongguo Mansion, Mr. She is attacking the first-class General Zhaoyi.”

Having said that, Chen Zhao turned to Sun Xiaodong and shook his head slightly.Sun Xiaodong smiled and said nothing.

Although Chen Zhao was a Juren who was going to take part in the examination in a few months, he was only a temporary worker from Jinyiwei Tongzhi, the third rank, but he was a Viscount of Yingwu granted by the emperor after all, and it was his first visit, so he took the right door as a matter of course.

The servants saw Chen Zhao and his party approaching, stood up and asked, "May I ask which family it is from?"

"Please also inform me that my valiant master Chen Zhao is here to pay respects to the old lady, the eldest master and the second master of your house." Sun Xiaodong stepped forward and handed over the card.

"Lord Yingwu..." the boy said in a long voice, and the rest of the people who were smiling with him just now returned to their previous arrogance and sat down on the bench one after another. There was even one person muttering in a low voice: " It seems to be a viscount, here..." Chen Zhao and others who were seven or eight steps away could feel the disdain.

The faces of the servants who were born in Yanding changed, and they were about to go forward to discuss, but they were stopped by Sun Xiaodong.

Sun Xiaodong glared at the two of them, signaling not to act rashly, then walked up to Chen Zhao, and said in a low voice: "My lord, their family is only a first-class general now, one level lower than Sha Dutang's title, but the servant is so arrogant. Disrespectful, really..."

It turned out that Sha Jinrui was from the Jinyiwei family. After he became the commander of the Jinyiwei, the emperor gave him the title of Marquis of Xiangcheng as usual.

This marquis is half a rank higher than the title of first-class general. When he saw Chen Zhao, he treated him with courtesy, but he didn't expect that the servants would not pay attention to Yingwujue who was just a first-class general.

"Needless to say, it's good that everyone knows.

The boy who took the invitation turned around and entered the corner door. After waiting for a while, the door opened with a creak. The boys who had been standing there chatting as if no one was around just now all stood up in panic and stood beside him solemnly.

"Jia Lian has met Zi Shangxian." It was Jia Lian who came out to greet him.

"Chen Zhao has met his elder brother." Chen Zhao bowed his hands and saluted.

"My dear brother, please come in quickly! The old lady has been waiting early in the morning, as well as the eldest master, the second master, Brother Zhen and Brother Rong from the East Mansion, all waiting."

Chen Zhao couldn't help being taken aback, the entire Ningrong and Rongfu were dispatched, it seemed that they valued him very much.

Thinking about it, even though Chen Zhao came to the capital for only a short month, he made such a big noise that everyone respected the Jinyiwei Fanzi like something. Of course, this reputation spread to Rongning Second Mansion up.

"Okay, brother Xian please lead the way, I greet the old lady and the two uncles."

"Grand-nephew Chen Zhao greets the old lady! I wish the old lady a long life and prosperity."

"Get up, get up, let me take a good look at you." Mother Jia repeatedly called out, "Min'er often praises you in letters, and Yu'er often praises you as a young talent. These are your two uncles, Mr. She , Mr. Zheng."

"Nephew Chen Zhao greets the eldest uncle and the second uncle."

"This is Brother Zhen from Dongfu."

"Chen Zhao met Brother Zhenxian."

"This is Jia Baoyu, the second son of the second child in my family, only four years younger than you."

"Brother Zi Shangxian." Jia Baoyu spoke first.

Finally, I saw this long-famous Young Master Yu.His face is bright and bright, his temples are cut like knives, his eyebrows are like ink paintings, his nose is like hanging gallbladder, and his eyes are like autumn waves.The face is like the moon of Mid-Autumn Festival, and the color is like the flowers of spring dawn.

Then look at him wearing a purple gold crown with hair inlaid with jewels, on his forehead there are two dragons grabbing gold to wipe his forehead, and he is wearing a two-color gold hundred butterfly wearing red arrow sleeves.Chen Zhao couldn't help complaining in his heart, he was really a showman, a showman among the showmen.It should be because she has been with women for a long time, and there is a lingering look of makeup between her eyebrows and eyes.

Jia Baoyu was also looking at Chen Zhao.

I saw that the hero that Sister Lin praised, the hero who attacked the salt merchants, was tall and tall, with a heroic look, and there was a faint sense of majesty and majesty in his gestures.The nose is like peaks and ridges, and the eyes are like bright stars, which makes people think of "a bee waist and ape's back, a crane in the shape of a mantis" in storytelling.

Even in the Nine Frontier Army Town in the Northland, I'm afraid everyone will shout, Haoerlang, he must be a hero who shoots the eagle and captures the tiger.

It's a pity that it doesn't conform to Jia Baoyu's aesthetics.

First of all, the skin is not white enough, and it has not reached the standard of a beautiful face at all, so twenty points will be deducted.The temperament is too majestic, without any romantic beauty, twenty points will be deducted.He is too tall and needs to be looked up to, and if he has no affinity, then ten points will be deducted.The final score was [-] points, which was only higher than that of Jia Huan.

After introducing Jia Rong, Jia's mother took Chen Zhao into the inner room separated by curtains and began to introduce the female relatives.Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. You, Lian's Second Sister-in-law, Mrs. Qin and several younger sisters greeted each other in turn.

He is Lin Ruhai's nephew, the elder brother who grew up with Daiyu, ethically speaking he is much closer than Sun Shaozu, Feng Ziying and the like, so he can be seen as a family member.

Moreover, the family members were introduced by Daiyu.

The others were fine, but a girl stood up and said, "My name is Shi Xiangyun, and I have met brother Zishang from the Chen family."
