Chapter 32 Entering the Jia Mansion

Half a month later, Chen Han's capital was Shenjing.

The law of the Han Dynasty stated: Any warrior who enters the capital without permission will be charged with treason.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jia Wei showed the seal of the Ningguo Mansion and registered for the military examination before entering the capital.

The courtyard he ordered to rent was also on Ningrong Street. After a brief rest and meeting Cuiguo, Xiangling and others, Jia Wei went to Ning and Rong mansions.

Since the news had already been passed on, Jia Zhen sent the younger Jia Rong to greet them.

"Hello, Uncle Wei. Your nephew pays his respects to you."

Jia Wei looked at Jia Rong who was bowing in front of him. He was handsome, wearing a light fur coat, precious belt, beautiful clothes and a gorgeous crown. He looked very good, but it was a pity that his appearance was the only thing he had...

The group headed for Ning Mansion, with Tiezhu leading the horse as they headed east. Suddenly, they saw two large stone lions squatting on the north side of the street, three large gates with animal heads, and a dozen people in gorgeous clothes and hats sitting in front of the gates.

Jia Yu was looking at the plaque on the gate that read "The Rongguo Mansion Built by Imperial Order". Jia Rong, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "I remember that Uncle Yu also kept a record of events when he went to Jinling. Do you still remember the old ladies and the masters and wives of the West Mansion?"

Jia Wei shook his head and said, "I remember some."

Those are of course from books...

When passing by the black oil door, Jia Wei took a second look. He knew that was Jia She's residence. He thought that a man who inherited the title was driven out of the mansion, while the second son Jia Zheng occupied Rong Xi Tang. This Jia Mansion was really weird...

He did not dismount until he reached the gate of Ningguo Mansion and entered through the side door.

As soon as you enter the courtyard, servants will kneel on the side of the road and kowtow in unison. There are men, women, young and old, in different clothes and with different expressions.

"Greetings to the Second Master!"

Jia Wei was already accustomed to the strict hierarchy of the era, so his performance was indifferent.

After passing through two more ceremonial gates, they arrived at the main hall, where Jia Zhen and others were already waiting.

When Jia Zhen saw Jia Rong coming with a handsome stranger, his eyes brightened and he quickly stood up to greet them.

"Brother!"

Jia Wei had a cold expression. Although he didn't have a good impression of Jia Zhen, he still had to maintain basic etiquette.

Then he met the two hostesses of the Ning Mansion, Jia Zhen's second wife, You, and Jia Rong's wife Qin. Both of them were very humble.

Youshi looked less than 30 years old. Her hair was tied up in a bun and she had a beautiful face. Her silk dress showed off her voluptuous and well-proportioned figure, which exuded the feminine beauty and mature charm of a young woman.

Jia Wei glanced at her and quickly bowed: "Hello, sister-in-law."

You Shi quickly returned the gift and introduced, "This is Rong'er's daughter-in-law."

As Jia Wei looked, Qin Keqing was one step behind Youshi. She was in her prime, graceful and elegant, with a bun made of green. Her eyebrows were green without any makeup, her lips were red without any lipstick, and her beautiful face was flawless.

Seeing this beauty, Jia Wei thought of Xiao Long Nu again...

Qin Keqing stepped forward and bowed, saying in a gentle voice, "Greetings, Uncle Yu."

Jia Wei remained calm, looking at her pale face. Seeing that Qin Keqing's eyebrows were hiding some sorrow, he knew that his nephew's wife was worried and had encountered some hardship...

He remained calm and looked at Jia Zhen.

Damn it, I have to take care of this trivial matter!

After meeting, they sat down in the hall, chatted about family matters, drank tea, and talked about the past. When talking about the reason why Jia Wei went to Jinling, they were very shy.

After that incident, Jia Jing, the heir of the Ningguo Mansion, went to Xuanzhen Temple to become a Taoist priest. Jia Wei's parents committed suicide and sent him to Jinling to grow up...

Because of the presence of the Jinyi Guards, Jia Zhen did not dare to say much, and asked Jia Rong to take him to Rongguo Mansion to pay a visit, and then come back for dinner.

Jia Yu took a quick tour and entered Rong Mansion. When Jia Zheng went to the government office to report, he went to Rongqing Hall to pay his respects to Jia's mother.

As the old woman entered the hanging flower gate, Jia Wei actually became excited... After passing through the hall and entering Jia's mother's courtyard, there were five upper rooms in the front, all with carved beams and painted rafters, and side rooms with corridors on both sides, with various parrots, bulbuls and other birds hanging on the walls.

There were several maids dressed in red and green sitting on the steps. When they saw the old woman leading a strange man in, they hurriedly went up to greet him with a smile.

"Is it Second Master Yu from the East Palace who has arrived?" The maids looked at Jia Yu with shining eyes.

At this time, a maid came out of the room. She was wearing a half-new lilac silk jacket, a green satin vest, and a light green skirt.

She has slim shoulders, a slim waist and a well-proportioned figure. Although she has a few light freckles, it does not affect her beauty, but makes her look more charming and lovely.

Combining the image of the person in front of him with the vivid words, Jia Wei knew that this was Yuanyang, the most proud maidservant beside Grandmother Jia.

As expected, she said, "Second Master, please come in soon! I heard early this morning that Second Master would be returning home, and the old lady has been looking forward to it."

Yuanyang was pulling the curtains, and Jia Wei nodded slightly, looking at her and saying, "Thank you, sister."

Yuanyang looked at him for a moment, then immediately lowered her head to avoid his gaze and said, "I am not worthy of being called sister by Second Master."

When Jia Wei entered the house, he saw an old woman with silver hair sitting in the hall. There was no doubt that this was Jia's mother.

There were many people standing in the room. Except for the maids and old women, the characteristics of the others were also very obvious.

"Greetings to the old lady, may she live a long and healthy life."

Grandmother Jia, who was sitting in the upper seat, called out repeatedly, "Get up quickly! Get up quickly! Come forward and let me see you."

Jia Wei had no choice but to take two steps closer. Grandmother Jia was still watching, and the woman waiting beside her said with a smile, "She's out of the competition!"

The position she was in showed that she was most likely Wang Xifeng. Jia Wei took a look at her and saw that she was wearing luxurious clothes, had a coquettish figure, and had fair teeth, and he confirmed his guess.

She looked straight at Jia Wei and was smiling. Jia Wei thought to himself, this Wang Xifeng is indeed beautiful and coquettish...

Just as Feng Jieer finished speaking, there was a burst of sweet laughter coming from behind the green gauze cabinet on the side. Indistinctly there were many people wearing red and green and wearing precious hairpins and pearls. Jia Wei glanced at them and guessed that they were the girls of the Jia family playing in Daiyu's room.

He had also heard Wang Xifeng's jokes, most of which were to tease Grandmother Jia, saying that his appearance was inferior to Jia Baoyu. Jia Yu didn't care. Who wanted to compare himself with that big-faced Bao?

Everyone was laughing, but Jia Wei didn't smile along. Grandmother Jia thought he didn't know the identity of the person who was speaking.

Grandmother Jia pointed at Sister Feng and said, "This is your sister-in-law Lian."

Jia Wei had only met her and called her sister-in-law. Wang Xifeng also returned the greeting.

Grandmother Jia said: "My dear grandson, you are also unlucky. You were sent to Jinling to suffer when you could only walk. You don't even recognize your closest relatives!"

Jia Yu didn't know whether the old lady really liked him or was just saying it for show, but it didn't matter, so he could only perfunctorily deal with it. Jia's mother then introduced the people present to him one by one, and he greeted them one by one.

After chatting for a while, Grandmother Jia asked the nanny to bring Baoyu and others over so that the brothers and sisters could meet them.

Jia Wei immediately became alert, and glanced at the door, passing by the big-faced Bao, and accurately locked onto a delicate-looking girl. Seeing her pair of eyebrows that seemed to be frowned but not frowned, and her delicate figure, he couldn't help but be impressed.

"Is this Sister Lin?"

Before he could turn around, he saw another girl whose appearance was no less beautiful than Lin Daiyu. She had fair skin and graceful manners.

Jia Wei thought to himself, "Is Baochai here too?"

At that moment, the three beauties, Daiyu and Chai, gathered together, the jewels and gems gleamed and the fragrance filled the air, making Rongqing Hall three times brighter.

At that time, there was a strict separation between men and women in the wealthy families, and Jia Wei could not look at them for too long. It was necessary to leave a good impression of courtesy when he first met them, especially when facing these kind-hearted girls.

When Jia Wei was observing everyone, the young ladies and maids were also looking at him.

He has an upright figure, a handsome and elegant spirit, what a noble and elegant young man!
When brothers and sisters meet each other, it is normal for them to call each other brother and sister.
