"Xuan Ge Er"
"Now that you are Duke of Qin, it is inappropriate to continue living in the East Courtyard."
"I wanted to arrange it with you at Rongguo Mansion, but Zhen Ge'er said that Ningguo Mansion had already ordered people to pack it up."
Perhaps she was a little tired of holding Jia Baoyu, and with the help of Yuanyang, Jia's mother got on the couch and said kindly.
Anyone who saw her would just say that she was a good ancestor who loved her descendants.
But the expressions of the Jia family members in the hall changed a little. The main hall of Rongguo Mansion was Rongxi Hall, which was inherited by Jia Zheng in the early years and reported to the clan house. The back hall, Rongqing Hall, is now where Jia's mother lives. With the nobility of Duke Qin, which courtyard is worthy of him except these two halls?
Jia She's face was a little gloomy, because as the eldest son of the eldest house, he should have moved into Rongxi Hall, but he lived in the side courtyard of Rongguo Mansion. Now mentioning Jia Xuan in front of so many people is equivalent to slapping him in the face again.
"Second Brother"
"I have ordered people to clean up Ningping Hall"
""If you don't like Ningping Hall, how about Ning'an Hall?"
Jia Zhen asked with a flattering face.
At first, when he learned the news that Jia Xuan had returned to the court, this guy quickly had people clean up the back hall of Ningguo Mansion and buy more utensils.
However, when the news of the reward from the palace came down, he even cleaned up the main hall of Ningguo Mansion where he lived: Ning'an Hall.
In any case, Jia Xuan's status and position in the Jia family and in the court were top-notch. Jia Zhen was just a third-class general. How could he compare with him?
What's more, Jia Xuan was also the legitimate son of Ningguo Mansion. If he was not properly settled and Jia Jing knew about it, he would come out from Xuanzhen Temple outside the capital and skin him alive!
"Old lady, there is no need to make any more trouble."
Shaking his head slightly, Jia Xuan said calmly,"It is just a temporary residence anyway, there is no need to make any more trouble."
"The East Courtyard is quiet, I am used to it, moving to another place is a bit difficult to adapt to"
"The Qin Mansion given by the palace is still under renovation and will be ready for occupancy in a few months. I will naturally not stay in Ningguo Mansion for too long. I think the current emperor would not want to see this scene."
Once he lives in Ningguo Mansion, who would dare to touch the Jia family? Wouldn't that be courting death?
Qin Guogong Mansion?
Everyone present was stunned.
The imperial edict announced in the palace that day did not mention the granting of a mansion. After all, there have always been precedents for meritorious officials, and most of them inherited from their ancestors. For example, Niu Jizong is now a marquis, but he has not been granted a mansion, but inherited the Zhenguo Mansion, the first-class earl Liu Fang inherited the Liguo Mansion, and the first-class earl Hou Xiao Kang inherited the Xiuguo Mansion.
Because of this, they did not even have a title, and continued to use the names of their ancestors, and could be called the Zhenguo Marquis, Liguo Earl, and Xiuguo Earl. On the other hand, Nian Gengyao and others did not have any ancestral legacy, and the emperor personally conferred titles and titles on them, and there was a mansion ready for them to live in, and all servants and maids were taken care of by the Ministry of Internal Affairs early.
But when they thought about it carefully, Jia Xuan did not inherit the two lords Ning and Rong, but was given the title of Qin Guogong. If he inherited the Jia family, it would indeed be unreasonable
"My brother has a new home, I want to go with him wherever he goes."
Little Xichun struggled with Jia Xuan and looked at him pitifully. She had only been with Jia Xuan for a few months and she could not see him most of the time. She was very attached to her brother.
""Okay, I'll take you with me."
Jia Xuan touched Xichun's head lovingly and nodded.
Logically, Xichun had Jia Jing above her, and Jia Zhen was her elder brother, so how could she live in Jia Xuan's house? But no one was stupid, and no one challenged Duke Qin at this critical moment. They all chose to ignore it.
"Xuan Ge Er"
"Where is the Qin Duke's Mansion?"
"The only mansions in the capital that are still under renovation and meet the regulations of the Dukes are the palaces on Wangfu Street."
As a deputy minister of the Ministry of Works, Jia Zheng happens to be in the Office of Construction and Maintenance, which is in charge of matters related to the construction and repair of palaces and government offices of the imperial court.
In the capital, there is no royal palace, duke's mansion, big or small, that he has not handled.
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of where there are duke's mansions under renovation. After all, duke's mansions cannot be too far away from the Forbidden City. There are only so many places, and if construction is to start, it will definitely cause a lot of excitement.
On the contrary, some time ago, news came from the Ministry of Clan that the emperor had made all the adult princes kings, and the country had added many princes at once, so they could only find some sealed old mansions on Wangfu Street to repair and use.
"Hey!!"
The Jia family members around him looked at Jia Xuan curiously, wanting to know where the Qin Guogong Mansion was.
"Uncle Zheng was right. It was on Wangfu Street. The Emperor gave Yilin Villa to Qin Guogong as his residence."
‘What? '
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was shocked.
Wangfu Street is adjacent to Ningrong Street, which is the place closest to the Forbidden City.
According to the Dajing Law, Wangfu Street is where the royal family of the clan lives. After the adult prince is crowned as a king, if he has no fiefdom, he will be temporarily placed in Wangfu Street. After the fiefdom is released, the clan office will take back the palace, and the princes and dukes will buy land in Beijing to build the palace.
The residence of a dignified duke is actually on Wangfu Street. This has broken the convention since ancient times. If it is spread out, won't it shock the whole dynasty?
"Mother!"
Jia She and Jia Zheng could not help but look up at Grandmother Jia, their faces becoming extremely solemn.
"well!!!"
"The past is gone, and since it was given by the retired emperor, there is nothing we can do about it."
Grandmother Jia's old face was full of memories, frustration, and helplessness, she said.
Others didn't know, but she knew it clearly. It had been sixteen years, and the past was covered in dust.
The Jia family was very wary of Yilin Villa. It was the former Crown Prince's villa. Because the Crown Prince's name was Jiang Yi, it was named Yilin. It was also the location of the Crown Prince's shogunate, which recruited a group of noble children and often discussed national affairs.
In the past, when the nine sons were vying for the throne, the Crown Prince started an army in Yilin Villa, intending to replicate the story of Xuanwu of Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin, but unexpectedly, the road collapsed and the sky fell. The Crown Prince's family was slaughtered by the chaotic soldiers, and Yilin Villa has been sealed since then.
Unexpectedly, today, the retired emperor actually gave this villa to the Jia family. This is not only a favor, but also a declaration to the outside world, indicating that the past is gone. In the new dynasty and the new world, Emperor Yongping is in power. I hope that the Jia family will no longer hold grudges against the past.
"this..."
Jia She and Jia Zheng's eyes were filled with a variety of emotions, and they didn't know what to say.
‘Stupid! '
Jia Xuan, who saw the reactions of Jia Mu, Jia She and Jia Zheng, shook his head and cursed in his heart.
This was a signal of reconciliation released by the emperor, and it was also the last thing he did for Emperor Yongping.
Once Jia Xuan moved into Yilin Villa, the hatred of the past would erupt completely. Prince Yi Zhong might not want to offend him, but would his former Eighth Master Party let it go?
The most brutal fights were between the Prince's Party and the Eighth Master Party. The prince's family was slaughtered by the chaotic soldiers, and the families of the Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Masters were also killed. How could the blood feud between the two sides be cleaned up!
Jia Xuan not only moved into the former Prince's Villa, he was the son of Jia Jing, the son of the former prince's think tank. The combination of the two made him the biggest hated person in the country, and all the roots would be attributed to him.
Wait until he and Prince Yi Zhong and Yuan Cong's family are all dead, Emperor Yongping will reap the benefits, and the royal family can easily suppress the world, why not?
Putting hope in the mercy of the master, this stupid thing, the Jia family has done it twice, and now it has to do it for the third time, no wonder it ended up with a miserable ending in the original book!
At least before, Jia Xuan still had a blood relationship with these people, but now it is gone.
What he wants to do is not to submit to someone, but to subvert this great world and create a new dynasty that is unparalleled in the world. He is always on the edge of life and death. Any mistake will cost him his life. He will never allow the existence of this group of pig teammates from the Jia family.
"Coo!"
""Brother, my stomach is growling."
Suddenly, Xichun in Jia Xuan's arms touched her stomach, pouting and saying aggrievedly,
""Sister, please come down to eat."
Jia Xuan said in a gentle voice.
""Hmm."
Little Xichun fell from Jia Xuan's arms obediently, holding her chin with her hands, sitting on the table waiting, looking indescribably cute.
The others were also a little hungry waiting, after all, no one had eaten dinner yet.
"mandarin duck!"
"Ask someone to serve the food."
Grandmother Jia gave the head maid Yuanyang a look and said
""Yes, old lady."
Yuanyang walked out gracefully, causing Jia She beside her to look a little strange.
After a while, the maids and women in Rongguo Mansion brought the exquisite dishes to the table.
Even Jia Xuan was a little hungry, so he accompanied Xiao Xichun to eat some, and then returned to Ningguo Mansion with Lin Daiyu.
""Old lady, let's go back to the house and rest."
Yingchun and Tanchun seemed to have guessed something. They bowed to Grandmother Jia and took their maids back to the courtyard.
Jia Huan, Jia Cong, and Jia Lan were also taken away from the hall early.
As the maids and old women removed the dishes one by one, Grandmother Jia and everyone in Rongxi Hall looked at each other in silence. Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Rong, Jia Zhen, Lady Xing, Lady Wang, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, You Shi, and Qin Keqing were all there.
"There are some things that I cannot mention in front of Brother Xuan."
A click!
Everyone present was shocked.
Mrs. Wang, who was sitting like a bodhisattva, dropped her rosary beads, and a panicked look appeared on her face.
"Duke of Qin, General Tiance, how did you get this title?"
"I think you know clearly"
"Even Xianning and Rong had never been so glorious. He had at least 300,000 lives in his hands."
"The two governments, together, are just a bonus."
"Ah this...."
Everyone in the Jia family was at a loss.
At this time, Jia's mother's eyes fell on Mrs. Wang:"Shufen"
"Could it be that you think I am old and senile, and let everything in the mansion go its own way?"
Boom!
Suddenly, Jia She, Jia Zheng and other men outside the palace felt a little confused.
Wang Xifeng's eyes flickered, and Mrs. Xing showed her gloating on his face without any concealment.
Youshi and Qin Keqing thought of something.���But they didn't know exactly. Only Mrs. Wang looked as if she had been struck by thunder.
"The Jinling Wang family, the Grand Commander of the County Earl Wang Gong"
"When my husband was alive, he respected the king and admired his talent."
"Because of this, you were able to marry into the Rongguo Mansion, and Wang Ziteng rose to prominence."
"Dongfu Jing'er was unwilling to take care of worldly affairs, and no one in the two mansions dared to take up the responsibility of the governor of the Beijing camp, so it was handed over to Wang Ziteng."
"Don't forget that all this is due to the benevolence of the Jia family, not the strength of the Wang family itself."
"Because of your marriage relationship, both governments have always respected you, so I don't want to dig into the details."
"Who is Ke Xuan? The emperor has to show respect to him."
"Do you think he is an easy-going person, or do you think that as a man, he should not interfere in the affairs of the inner court?"
"This is the only time, never again!"
Staring at Mrs. Wang, Jia Muyong warned her in a stern tone she had never used before. This was the first time that the most powerful lady in Rongguo Mansion was ridiculed like this. It was not only a lesson for her, but also a reminder to all the Jia family members.
Wang Xifeng was the most touched because she was also a member of the Wang family. She only showed off her power after marrying into the Jia family.
"Mother/old lady!"
"We remember it!"
Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen and others spoke up.
Then the conversation in Rong Xi Tang ended, and everyone went back to their own homes and looked for their own mothers.
However, Jia Mu overestimated the IQ of some people and underestimated the dirty stuff in the Jia family, so that she regretted it later............
Ningguo Mansion, East Courtyard
""General!"
The Longxiong guards outside the courtyard bowed to Jia Xuan when they saw him coming.
"Have they all arrived?"
Jia Xuan nodded slightly, holding Xichun in one hand, with Lin Daiyu beside him.
"Return to the Lord!"
"The three commanders are already waiting for you in the yard.
Long Xiangwei replied immediately.
""Okay."
Hearing this, Jia Xuan strode into the East Courtyard.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, in addition to Jiang Gao, Gu Huai, and Bei Shi, there were 20 women, all dressed in simple and elegant clothes, with cold faces, and a sense of decisiveness and heroic spirit in their every move, which immediately attracted the attention of Xichun and Lin Daiyu.
"General!"
""Duke!"
Jiang Gao and others hurriedly saluted and greeted
"Brother!"
Little Xichun struggled to get off the ground, jumping around in front of the twenty women, her delicate face full of curiosity.
Not only her, Lin Daiyu also widened her eyes. She is now a warrior, strong enough to fight against the top three warriors, and can sense more things. The blood and qi of these women in front of her are extremely strong, each of them is no less than a warrior, and there is a bloody smell on their bodies, which is really extraordinary!
"Not bad."
Looking around at the girls, Jia Xuan nodded with satisfaction.
A few months ago, in addition to Jiang Gao and his followers, he also took in some orphans, who were part of the trained ones.
Different from the Bull Demon Fist that Jiang Gao and others practiced,》、《Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist", these women practiced the"White Rainbow True Secret", a martial arts technique derived from many light and breath-retaining methods in the martial arts world, as sharp as the wind and as shadowless as a rainbow.
Each one standing alone can kill a martial artist below the sixth rank, which is very powerful..
