Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 222 Famous Biography

Chapter 222 Famous Biography
Yunfei is twenty-five years old after the Chinese New Year. In this era, a twenty-five-year-old woman is already a bit old.

She followed Jia Qiang. Because Lin Daiyu was too young to pass the family, she had always had no status. Although the living conditions in Jiahou's mansion were very good, it was impossible to say that she had no thoughts as she watched her years go by.

When Jia Qiang put her hands on her face, the warm energy acted on her facial skin.

"Sister Yunfei, you have become younger, just like you were when we first met!" Mr. Zhu pointed at Yunfei's face and said in surprise.

Jia Qiang's hand left Yunfei's face. Although Yunfei was not old yet, her skin at the age of 25 was still somewhat different from that at the age of 20.

Now Yun Fei's face is as delicate as water, and her face has returned to the period when she was at her best.

Yunfei couldn't help but touch her face. Although she couldn't see her face, she could feel the smoothness of her skin through the touch of her fingers.

"Master!" She looked at Jia Qiang, her eyes full of passionate emotions, and shouted.

"Brother Qiang, can you restore people's youth?" Lin Daiyu couldn't help but ask after seeing this magical scene.

Yun Fei and Zhu Jun were also waiting for Jia Qiang's answer. Jia Qiang had so many magical qualities that it would not be too surprising to find one more magical thing. They naturally hoped that Lin Daiyu's guess was true, because They will be the beneficiaries of this magical ability.

"It doesn't count as rejuvenation, it just repairs the skin!" Jia Qiang shook her head and replied with a smile.

He didn't tell the truth. After taking the divine fruit this time, his realm broke through and he had a deeper control over the 'healing technique [advanced]'.

Just like using the 'Healing Technique [Advanced]' on Yun Fei's face, he can completely apply the healing energy to the skin.

The effect on the skin is not like repairing the skin as he said. It should be said to be more advanced. He injects life energy into the skin, essentially restoring the skin to the state it was in five years ago.

Moreover, the healing energy of the 'Healing Technique [Advanced]' has not disappeared, it still remains in Yunfei's body, and will continue to replenish the life energy of the facial skin in the following months.

Even if he wants, he can return the skin to the state of a child's skin by consuming more healing energy, but that would be overkill and unnecessary.

This only affects the skin. If the healing energy is applied to the whole body, it can completely restore someone's whole body to the state it was in a few years ago.

To a certain extent, this is what Lin Daiyu calls rejuvenation.

However, he will not do this at present. Once the ability to restore youth is exposed, I am afraid that everyone in Daqian and even the entire world will focus on it and use all means to obtain it.

Jia Qiang does not think that he is invincible. He may have had this idea before, but after the battle with the Fifth Lord, he knew his shortcomings.

It can't be said that he is cautious. In this world, he has people who care about and protect him, and he doesn't want to lose these, so he doesn't want to take risks.

"Mr. Zhu, come here too!" Jia Qiang said to Mr. Zhu with a smile.

Zhujun blushed, walked up to Jia Qiang, and put his face close to Jia Qiang.

Jia Qiang smiled and put her hand on her face. With the same operation, after a while, her face returned to the youth of twenty years old.

Watching Yun Fei and Zhu Jun check each other's new skins, they laughed and cried. Age has always been a worry for them, but now they are not worried anymore.

Lin Daiyu also put her face in front of Jia Qiang at this time, and Jia Qiang couldn't help but laugh.

"Sister Lin, your skin needs repairing. There is no better skin in the world than yours!" Jia Qiang said with a smile.

"Then when I get old, you must help me!" Lin Daiyu touched her face, then looked at the faces of Yun Fei and Zhu Jun, and said somewhat unconvinced.

"Stay with me, sister Lin will never grow old!" Jia Qiang's tone was gentle.

"Ah, why did you say such shameful words in front of two sisters!" Lin Daiyu couldn't help but blushed.

Lin Daiyu can accept sweet words between the two of them in private. She has grown up with Jia Qiang since she was a child. Jia Qiang is as important a person in her life as her parents.

She has admired her father since she was a child. Her father has won the lottery and has outstanding literary talent.

After Jia Qiang passed the exam, she had one more person to admire, and Jia Qiang was even better than Lin Ruhai.

Becoming famous at a young age, with literary skills and military skills, he fulfilled all the fantasies of a young girl.

In the four years since Jia Qiang left, Lin Daiyu knew the taste of lovesickness for the first time, which turned her feelings for Jia Qiang into deep love.

"Yunfei, Mr. Zhu, don't tell anyone else what happened today!" Jia Qiang did not continue teasing Lin Daiyu, he told Yunfei and Mr. Zhu.

"Don't worry, sir. As long as we apply more powder, others won't find out!" Yun Fei immediately nodded and assured.

She also knew that the method shown by Jia Qiang was too miraculous, so miraculous that it was shocking.

"You can slowly let others adapt and reduce the amount of powder day by day. Even if you don't apply powder in a month or two, people won't be particularly surprised!" Jia Qiang suggested with a smile.

Acceptance requires a process, and the instantaneous transformation will become reasonable if you slowly accept it over a month or two.

The reason why Jia Qiang is so cautious is not to prevent the other women, but the spies in the mansion.

Whenever he has something important to do, he will release summons to prevent being spied on.

The 'Healing Technique [Advanced]' that Jia Qiang performed on Yun Fei and Zhu Jun's faces was an experiment. If his judgment was confirmed and the skin on the two women's faces would not change after a few months, then it would mean He has the ability to keep people young forever.

If this ability is further extended, there is even the possibility of eternal life.

Of course, all this is speculation and requires long-term experimental verification.

In Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng came to Rongxi Hall angrily.

After Jia Baoyu was beaten by him, Jia's mother sent him here to rest.

"Where is Baoyu's evil obstacle?" Jia Zheng shouted as soon as he entered the Hall of Rongxi.

"What do you want? Baoyu did something wrong and you beat him. It's not over yet!" Jia Mu said angrily when she heard Jia Zheng yelling in front of him.

"Old lady, Baoyu's story has spread to the palace, and even the virtuous concubines have been ginsenged for him!" Jia Zheng explained anxiously.

"Is Yuanchun okay?" Jia Mu asked quickly when she heard that Yuanchun was affected.

"We don't know yet. There is no news from the palace. It's almost the Chinese New Year. I don't think it will be dealt with before the new year!" Jia Zheng shook his head and replied.

"What's the use of looking for Baoyu now? Why don't you quickly take out the silver and spend it!" Jia's mother pointed at Jia Zheng and said.

Jia Zheng opened his mouth, not embarrassed to say that he had no money in his hand.

After the Grand View Garden was built, all the money in Jia Zheng's body was emptied.

What we are talking about here is Jia Zheng's money, not Mrs. Wang's. Although Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang are from the same family, Mrs. Wang secretly embezzled money for her mother's family and Baoyu.

Mrs. Wang did not tell Jia Zheng about this matter, fearing that Jia Zheng's temper would expose the corruption. For the purpose of the Grand View Garden, the Rongguo Mansion not only invested all the money from the Duke and the money borrowed from the Xue family and the Lin family, but also invested all the money stored by the Zhen family.

In the end, the Grand View Garden cost a total of 1.2 million taels of silver.

Most of this land belongs to the Rongguo Mansion itself, but this figure far exceeds the original budget of 500,000 taels.

"Hey, Yuanyang, take out the five hundred taels of silver notes!" Jia Mu shook her head and told Yuanyang. She then said to Jia Zheng: "Give the silver notes to Dai Quan and ask him to say more for Yuan Chun in the palace. Some words!”

"Listen to the old lady!" Jia Zheng agreed. He reluctantly looked deep into the Rongxi Hall, but could not see Jia Baoyu.

He didn't say anything. Jia Baoyu's reputation was now bad. With such a reputation, it would be almost impossible to take part in the scientific examination.

The most important requirement for the scientific examination is moral character. A person with poor moral character will not be allowed to take the scientific examination no matter how knowledgeable he is.

If this matter had been a minor matter, there would have been some room for maneuver, but now the matter of Jia Baoyu seeking pleasure in his family temple was brought up in the court, and almost no one in the official circles knew about it.

From now on, Jia Baoyu will no longer have the possibility of becoming an official and can only become a rich man.

As Jia Zheng walked out of the Ronxi Hall, he was thinking about the future.

The huge family fortune in Rongguo Mansion must be inherited by someone. According to the previous agreement with Jia's mother, Jia She's lineage will inherit the title, and his lineage will be in charge of Rongguo Mansion.

But Jia Baoyu lost hope. The entire Rongguo Mansion would be handed over to Jia Lian, which Jia Zheng could not accept.

He thought of his other son again, but when he thought of Jia Huan, he couldn't help but shook his head again.

Jia Huan is too naughty and cannot study well, but he is extremely good at playing tricks.

In addition, Jia Huan was not a direct descendant, so there was no way he could inherit the family business.

Jia Baoyu's matter actually had little influence in the palace because Qiaofeng was about to celebrate the New Year.

No matter how bad Jia Baoyu behaves, it is just a matter for a thirteen-year-old child. If someone wants to get attached to the virtuous concubine, the Supreme Emperor will not agree.

So after Dai Quan received the news that Jia Zheng asked for an audience, he went to meet with Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng made his request and presented another five hundred taels of silver notes.

To be honest, if things are difficult to handle, he really doesn't like the five hundred taels of silver.

But when it comes to this matter, he doesn't have to do anything, he just gets the five hundred taels of silver for free.

After collecting the five hundred taels of silver notes, Dai Quan turned around and returned to the palace, but in his heart he despised Rongguo Mansion for being stingy.

On the twenty-ninth day, there was a big banquet in the palace, and only Jia Qiang from Jiahou Mansion went there.

However, entering the palace today requires a guard of honor. Jia Qiang wore a python suit and sat in an eight-carriage sedan.

He is a high-ranking marquis, and he can only sit in an eight-carat sedan during grand banquets in the palace such as New Year's Day. Even if he has to ride in a sedan on weekdays, he can only ride in a four-carat sedan at most.

After leaving the door, his eight-carriage sedan met three eight-carriage sedans coming out of the Lin Mansion.

There are three sedans carrying eight carriages. One of them is Lin Ruhai, the third-rank minister of Dali Temple, and the other is Jia Min, the third-grade imperial concubine. They are all qualified to ride on the eight-carrying sedan chair within a specific period of time.

There was also a sedan chair with eight carriages, and Lin Daiyu was sitting there. Among the three of them, she was the most noble daughter, a super-ranking lady.

The banquets in the palace were divided into two groups for men and women. The male officials attended the banquet hosted by the emperor, while the female officials attended the banquet hosted by the queen and the queen mother.

Emperor Jingwen did not have a queen, so the queen mother hosted the imperial banquet in the palace.

Since they were sitting in a large sedan chair, the two parties could not say hello. They just raised the curtain of the sedan chair to signal.

Soon, Jia Qiang and Lin's four-carriage and eight-carriage sedans met the procession of Rongguo Mansion entering the palace. The Rongguo Mansion's team was led by two eight-carriage sedans, and the rest were two-person and four-person sedans.

When they met each other, Lin Ruhai's eight-carriage sedan gave way and let the team from Rongguo Mansion go first.

Jia Qiang didn't pay attention to this and let Lin Ruhai take command.

In fact, Jia Mu and Jia She, who were sitting in the eight-carriage sedan, were not at peace in their hearts. The dignified Rongguo Mansion only had two eight-carriage sedan chairs, but the Lin Mansion had three eight-carriage sedan chairs.

Of course, one of the eight-carrying sedans that Lin Daiyu was sitting in could not be regarded as belonging to the Lin Mansion, but should be regarded as belonging to the Jiahou Mansion.

But this made Jia's mother even more uncomfortable. Jia Qiang was originally the Qilin son of the Jia family, but she was expelled from the family.

Today's Jia Qiang, even if there is a virtuous concubine in Rongguo Mansion, Jia Qiang still needs to be looked up to.

Jia Qiang can be regarded as the top military officer in the Daqian army, and even the civil servants have entered the cabinet. Even if he is only a fifth-grade civil servant, no one dares to treat him as a full-grade civil servant.

Looking at our own side, Jia's mother sat in the eight-carriage sedan chair with the title of super-grade emperor, while Jia She sat in the eight-carriage sedan chair with the title of first-class general, without even having an official position.

As for Jia Zheng, his official position was too low to enter the palace. Even Mrs. Wang and Li Wan were qualified to enter the palace because of Jia Mu's leadership and their relationship with the virtuous concubine.

After entering the palace gate, the sedans parted. Mrs. Gaoming headed towards the harem, while the officials headed towards Fengtian Gate.

The banquet was hosted by Emperor Jingwen, but the Supreme Emperor did not appear.

It was Jia Qiang's first time to participate in such a banquet, but after seeing the food, the novelty of the banquet completely disappeared.

The food in front of me was already half-cold when it was delivered, especially the meat, which was difficult to swallow.

He looked at the other officials and found that most of them were just showing off and didn't even dare to drink too much.

It is not a trivial matter to be disobedient in such an occasion. If the disobedience in front of you is found out, you will be lucky to lose your official position.

However, there is also something good about this kind of occasion, that is, it is a rare gathering of many officials, especially officials of the same rank.

Jia Qiang got to know many first-class military attachés who did not usually go to court, including Wang Ziteng.

However, when Wang Ziteng looked at him, he could feel the deep resentment in his eyes.

Prince Teng did not dare to hate Jia Qiang. Only generals who have been leading troops all year round understand how terrifying Jia Qiang's influence is in the army.

Nowadays, he has no real power and only has a high-ranking military official position.

However, Jia Qiang did not think that she had robbed Wang Ziteng of the opportunity. If according to the history in the original work, when Wang Ziteng reached the highest rank, that is when he died, Jia Qiang changed the fate of Wang Ziteng's death.
