King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 120 Jia Yucun Talks About the Zhen Family
"Master Thirteen's last arrow actually shattered the shaft in front of him. It's really a magic shot..."

"It's not just a sharp shot, I'm afraid Master Guan won't be able to do it again..."

Surrounded by a group of military generals, and listening to their frank flattery, Zhu Jinghong walked into Yonganmen with a jade belt in his hand.

The Yong'an Hall is the main hall of the Jinling Palace, and the venue with the highest specification is also very large. The celebration banquet will be held here tonight.

A group of military generals, dozens of people, entered the palace gate noisily, immediately attracted contemptuous glances from the civil servants, and cursed "Qiu Ba" inwardly.

Under Majesty Dan, Gao Shuyan sat in the crowd and his eyes fell on Zhu Jinghong who was in high spirits.

There is no doubt that he is full of fear in his heart towards this first prince.

This time when he came to Jinling, Zhu Jinghong shined brilliantly regardless of the food and wages for the suppression of the Japanese, as well as the subsequent battle against the Japanese.

Although he did some absurd things in the middle, in Gao Shuyan's view, his flaws were still not concealed, and he really made a great contribution.

And these credits should have belonged to the prince.

Fortunately, Zhu Jinghong is a muddleheaded person, only fighting and killing is on his mind, and he does things without any scruples... This is Gao Shuyan's judgment on Zhu Jinghong.

Because of this, although he was afraid of Zhu Jinghong, he also had the same opinion as Zhu Jingyuan, thinking that Zhu Jinghong must be wooed.

"Fortunately... the crown prince and the thirteenth master have a deep relationship!" Gao Shuyan murmured in a low voice.

Besides, above Dan Bi, the seat has been set up in the middle, but the prince himself has not yet arrived.

Although the civil servants looked down on military generals, they still respected Zhu Jinghong very much.

"Meet the Thirteenth Master..."

"I've seen Lord Thirteen..."

Everyone saluted in turn, expressing their respect for Zhu Jinghong.

This kind of respect is not only due to their status, but also because of Zhu Jinghong's guarantee that Jinling's deficit can be eliminated smoothly. How can all the officials not be grateful.

Although Zhu Jinghong did a lot of "evil things" in Jinling, he was able to make Jinling civil and military officials be grateful to him. I have to say that this is also a skill, and it is a great skill.

After Zhu Jinghong greeted everyone, he walked up the imperial steps, and his seat was on Zhu Jingyuan's left.

After climbing up the imperial steps, Zhu Jinghong glanced at the empty space in the middle, and then asked, "Why hasn't the crown prince arrived yet?"

After more than half a month of recuperation, Zhu Jingyuan's body has recovered a lot, and it is no problem to attend the celebration activities.

The officials on the side replied: "His Royal Highness is taking medicine and will be there in a while!"

Although his health was better, Zhu Jinghong still couldn't leave his mouth with medicine, and he had to take it at least seven or eight times a day, all of which were carefully prepared by the imperial physicians.

Just as Zhu Jinghong sat down, he heard a noise behind him, and turned his head to see that it was the prince who appeared.

Zhu Jinghong got up quickly, walked up to the prince, and pushed aside the Donggong scholar who was supporting him.

Zhu Jinghong said: "Fourth brother, you are here. If you don't come, there is no way to start the banquet. Everyone here is so hungry that your chest is on your back!"

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and said, "Old Shisan, why are you the only one who talks too much, and the others haven't spoken yet!"

It can be seen that he is in a good mood.

After listening to the rainbow fart for more than a hour, the officials praised Zhu Jingyuan as comparable to Yao and Shun, and everyone would feel at ease.

After the crown prince was seated, everyone present paid homage, and the celebration banquet officially began.

Banquets have established procedures and a fixed etiquette system, which is actually quite boring.

About an hour later, all the established procedures were completed, Zhu Jingyuan left the venue due to physical discomfort, and Zhu Jinghong presided over the scene.

Now that he was about to return to Beijing, Zhu Jinghong decided to do something out of the ordinary to "discredit" himself and further reduce his external threat.

"Today's banquet should be full of bliss. At this moment, the drums and music are playing together, but a beautiful woman is sent to perform the dance..."

"Pass my words, go and call the beauties on the Qinhuai River, and dance and sing for everyone present!"

When these words came out, everyone was stunned.

This place is a holy place for the palace, so if you ask a group of singers to come in and perform dances, do you want to spread the royal face?

"Master Thirteen, absolutely not..." Gao Shuyan was the first to object.

If Zhu Jinghong really wanted to do what he said, the imperial court would not only impeach Gao Shuyan, but Prince Rui's minions would point the finger at the crown prince.

As the elder brother, he was not able to guide his brother to have a correct view on entertainment, but also failed to restrain him from doing anything wrong. The fault is not the prince's fault.

"Scholar Gao, what's wrong with this?" Zhu Jinghong looked puzzled, pretending to be incomprehensible.

"Master Thirteen, the holy place of the palace, how can you allow lowly people to defile it!" Gao Shu spoke with righteousness.

Then he looked at He Gujin, the inspector, with a threatening look in his eyes.

He Gujin was also very guilty, after all, he was the one from his family who took Zhu Jinghong to play in the Qinhuai River.

"Master Thirteen, this is indeed inappropriate..." He Gujin was extremely embarrassed.

After everyone tried to persuade them, Zhu Jinghong gave up the nonsense and exchanged cups with everyone.

His goal was achieved, and this reckless behavior once again eased Gao Shuyan's fear.

Everyone was drinking and drinking, and soon the atmosphere of the banquet reached its climax, and many people came to toast Zhu Jinghong.

"Master Thirteen, I would like to offer you a toast!" It was Jia Yucun who came.

"Come on!" Zhu Jinghong raised his glass immediately, looking very cheerful.

Although Jia Yucun's character is not very good, but this time the collection and allocation of grain grabbing is the first among all the magistrates, and his ability is still very outstanding.

The last time he rescued him, only Jia Yucun brought the doctor here, and he could see that he was very careful.

The two had a drink, Jia Yucun was about to retreat, but Zhu Jinghong stopped him.

"I heard that back then, you were sponsored by a squire named Zhen?"

How could Jia Yucun forget what happened back then, and what made him curious was how could Zhu Jinghong know.

Could it be that the crown prince valued it so that someone specially checked my details?Now call the thirteenth master to ask?
Jia Yucun was a little excited, but couldn't see it on his face, and replied very calmly: "Report to Lord Thirteen, there is such a thing!"

"Then the Zhen family couple, what's the situation now?"

Zhu Jinghong is asking for Yinglian, hoping to help her find her relatives.

"Mr. Zhen, many years ago his daughter was abducted, his house was burned, he sold his property and returned to the countryside, but...he was tricked by his father-in-law, and he fell into poverty!"

"Later he went crazy and wandered away with a group of people, and now he is missing!"

Nodding his head, Zhu Jinghong asked again: "Where is Mrs. Zhen's wife?"

The question went deep, and even though he didn't understand Zhu Jinghong's intention, Jia Yucun still replied: "Zhen's wife, Fengshi... died of illness three years ago!"

The Zhen family was kind to Jia Yucun, and Jiao Xing thought of her friendship with the Feng family, and sent someone to sacrifice on the day of her funeral.

Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but sighed.

There is no news of her father and her mother died. This Yinglian is really pitiful, similar to Zhu Jinghong's life experience before time travel.

He originally wanted to find a relative for Yinglian, but now that her parents are gone, there is no need to find this relative.

Her grandfather enshrined the old man's family, even though he bullied his daughter and son-in-law, how could he be kind to his granddaughter?
It's impossible to think about it, so it's better not to recognize this relative.

"This is really unpredictable!" Zhu Jinghong said with emotion.

Jia Yucun didn't answer. He couldn't figure out what Zhu Jinghong was thinking, so he simply kept silent.

Looking at Jia Yucun, Zhu Jinghong encouraged: "You have the ability, if you work hard in Yingtian, you will have great achievements in the future!"

"Thank you Thirteenth Lord for your praise, I will be ashamed to repay the emperor's kindness!"

After clinking glasses with Zhu Jinghong and talking, Jia Yucun completed the task tonight, so he returned to his colleagues with the cup.

"Brother Lin, why are you frowning?"

"Hey... have you read the mansion newspaper today?"

"About Rongguo Mansion?" Jia Yucun asked in a low voice.

Of course he should pay attention to Jia Yucun, and he will pay more attention to matters related to Jia's family, so he understands what Lin Ruhai is worried about.

But Jia Yucun still pretended not to know, and said: "It's just a villain who is slandering, Brother Lin, don't worry about it, Ningrong and Rong's second mansion have great skills, how can they be hurt by this!"

Lin Ruhai sighed, he wasn't worried about the Jia family, he was worried about his daughter ruining Qingyu.

But these words, how can they be clear, otherwise troubles will happen if nothing happens.
