However, just when his hand was about to lightly rest on Qin Keqing's soft and fragrant shoulder, suddenly, there were bursts of clear exclamations not far from Tianxiang Tower:

"Not good! The water is gone, the water is gone!"

"Come quickly, the ancestral hall is flooded!"

"God, come quickly, the ancestral hall is flooded!"

The ancestral hall of the Jia clan was originally on the west side of the East Mansion, not far from Tianxiang Tower. After these words were clearly transmitted to the second floor of Tianxiang Tower, Jia Zhen's complexion changed dramatically.

But Qin Keqing, who came back to her senses, realized that her father-in-law had been standing beside her at some point, with a hand on her shoulder, and her pretty face was flushed immediately.

Jia Zhen didn't bother to explain much at the moment, and only left a sentence: "You wait here." Then she hurried downstairs and hurried towards the ancestral hall.

The major events of the country lie in sacrifice and Rong.

The sacrificial offerings preceded the Rong, which shows how important this era regards sacrificial offerings.

The Jia family ancestral hall enshrines the spiritual tablets of the Jia family's ancestors and burns the incense for inheriting the clan, which is the most important place for the Jia family.

In addition, there are many imperial brushes of the founding emperor and later emperors in the ancestral hall, which symbolize the supreme glory and heritage of the Jia family. How dare you miss it?

Jia Zhen hurried all the way, and saw many servants running with buckets on their shoulders. When she finally arrived at the archway of the ancestral hall, she saw that the five gates inside the black oil fence were on fire, and the inside was not lit. Taking a deep breath, he instructed Lai Sheng, the big housekeeper who also rushed to hear the news, to say: "Extinguish the fire quickly."

At this time, an old man reeked of alcohol came over and cursed: "A bunch of bastards who don't have eyes, why don't you open the gate quickly and get water from the water tank inside to put out the fire?"

When Jia Zhen saw the old man, she became very angry, and asked, "Jiao Da, you have always been in charge of the ancestral hall. Why is there a fire for no reason but you are not here?"

Jiao Da was a domestic slave who used to lead Duke Ning’s horse on the battlefield. He once recited Duke Ning from among the dead. There was not much water, so he drank horse urine when he gave his master water. He also didn't want to get rid of his slave status, and just stayed in the mansion as a slave.

With such origins, not to mention Jia Zhen, but his father Jia Jing, and his father's father Jia Daihua, all give this old slave three points.

So Jiao Da was not afraid at all, walked to the gate of the ancestral hall that had been extinguished, and said loudly: "Brother Zhen, don't you want to give me money, who is Mr. Jiao afraid of? Come here and take a closer look, here Neither offering incense burners nor burning paper to light treasures, how can there be a fire for no reason? This must be because of unworthy descendants in the family, who have done shameless forgetful things, and the ancestors couldn't see it, so they let down their anger. "

Jia Zhen's heart twitched suddenly when she said this, and her face became even more ugly. Seeing Jiao Da who was still shouting that the descendants of Ningguo are all unworthy bastards, the veins on his head were throbbing, and he was about to order this old slave to be killed. He dragged it down for eighty times, and at this moment, he saw a young gentleman rushing over with someone, and before he arrived, he hurriedly asked: "What happened? The two masters asked me to come over first, how could it be like that?" Is it because the ancestral hall has water?"

This person is Jia Lian, the son of Jia She, the first-class general inherited by the Rongguo Mansion. He is also a person who has been favored and used to Gao Le all year round. However, thanks to his ancestors, when he inherits the title of his ancestors in the future, he will be one level higher than Jia Zhen.

Jia Zhen swallowed her anger and asked people to take the drunk Jiao Da down first. She suddenly changed her mind and said, "Brother Lian is here? Oh, even the two uncles were alarmed. It's really...it's that Jiao Da, who is here?" Seeing that he is an old man in the mansion, he was there when the ancestor of Ningguo was there, so he specially handed over the ancestral hall to him. Who would have thought that he would dare to be so careless, and go out to drink on the day of duty, and somehow the gate was opened The water is gone here. Fortunately, it didn't disturb the inside, otherwise the crime would be serious."

Hearing this, Jia Lian saw that there was indeed only one place on fire at the archway of the gatehouse. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In this case, I'll go back to the master. It's okay. Even the old lady was alarmed, so I don't worry about sending her away." The two masters came over to have a look."

When Jia Zhen heard the words, she hurriedly said something to settle down, and told Jia Lian to reassure the old lady. After watching Jia Lian leave, she felt a coldness behind her.

I was extremely surprised: Could it be that the ancestors were really angry...

That is, there are still many rich and powerful people who believe in the gods of their ancestors in later generations, so Feng Shui has never been extinct, let alone the present?

Just when Jia Zhen was suspicious, Jia Rong rushed over in disheveled clothes and faintly smelled the smell of rouge on his body. Jia Zhen was furious and said, "Damn beast, even the master is here, the old lady and the two masters of the West Mansion almost died." Come here, you're only here now."

After scolding, order a servant to spit on him.

The servant did not dare to disobey Jia Zhen's wishes, so he could only step forward and spit at Jia Rong.

Jia Rong was spat on, and could only stand there numbly, not daring to move.

Jia Zhen became more and more disgusted as she watched, and shouted: "What are you still doing here? Go to the West Mansion and tell the old lady and the two grandfathers that everything is fine. Look at your virtue, I have never seen you like this in Ning Mansion. trash offspring."

Jia Rong hurriedly bowed back and headed towards the West Mansion.

He didn't dare to take out his handkerchief until he was out of Jia Zhen's sight, and wiped off the smelly saliva on his face.

……

The next day.

At noon, the unglaring sunlight penetrates the pomegranate leaves and spills into the courtyard.

Jia Qiang, who had been reading for several hours, stretched her waist, leaned back on the chair, looked sideways at the sunny sky through the window.

The old cat of my uncle's house is haunted, constantly patrolling this dilapidated old house that has been unoccupied for a long time, searching for fat and delicious food.

In West City, not only are people living well, but the competition for cats is much less.

If he is not a decent great-great-grandson of Ningguo Mansion, if he does not save himself, he will be implicated in the future, and now he is still missed by that absurd Jia Zhen, then he sits here every day watching the clouds and seas in the sky, and listening to the night wind in the courtyard Xiaoxiao, watching the pomegranate tree bloom and fall, can also enjoy the beauty of the tranquility of life.

It's a pity that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.

Unless he is content to be a broken household for the rest of his life, and to be bullied by others in the future when everything is broken, otherwise, he can only stand up and fight in order to survive!

While thinking about it, he suddenly saw Liu Da Niu coming in, and said nervously: "Qiang'er, the guest you mentioned is here, and they have brought a lot of gifts!"

Jia Qiang snorted when she heard the words, got up and said, "My aunt didn't agree with me asking the host yesterday, saying that I am poor and generous, so what do you say today?"

Liu Daniu laughed happily and said: "What do we girls know? Qiang'er, go quickly, don't make people wait, your brother-in-law can't speak, and carefully neglected the distinguished guests, making people look down upon him!"

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "If they look down on my family, why should I associate with them?"

Liu Daniu was very moved when she heard the words, but she still pulled Jia Qiang and told him to go to treat the guests quickly.

Chapter 15 Congratulations

"Brother Qiang, today is your host, and my brother came by to give you a happy housewarming."

At the door, Feng Ziying, who was dressed in a black brocade jacket with wide sleeves, had a bright and cheerful smile on her face, very friendly.

There are three servants behind him, pushing a cart of congratulatory gifts.

When Jia Qiang saw it, she cupped her hands and smiled, "How can Brother Lao Feng spend so much money?"

Feng Ziying waved her hand and said: "It's not worth much money, it's mostly just something." He took out two ingots of ten taels of silver from his sleeve pocket, raised his chin, and said with a smile: "Don't refuse, I don't care about your current situation." Understand better. If you still recognize me as a friend, you will accept the ten taels of silver. Friends have the meaning of making money, unless you don’t recognize me.”

To be honest, Jia Qiang was still a little moved.

It's just that he was instilled with too much explosive information in his previous life, which made him sophisticated and reluctant to trust others...

So at this moment, he is clearly grateful for Feng Ziying's heroism, and there is a voice in his heart that is always alerting him:

People like Feng Ziying are born with the amiable temperament to do great things, so they must have the ambition to do great things.

It is really dangerous for such a person to win people's hearts and gather them into dead soldiers by using the means of righteousness and Bo Yuntian in the name of Meng Chang.

but……

Isn't that how adults communicate with each other?
