Chapter 342 Returning home
Under the scorching sun, the two stone lions in front of the three-room gate with animal heads appear majestic and majestic, and two rows of people in gorgeous crowns and clothes are saluting in front of the gate.

The vermilion door was open, and looking through the threshold, one could vaguely see groups of slaves kneeling on the ground.

Jia Wei dismounted from his horse, strode up the steps, and entered through the middle door.

The servants kneeling in the main courtyard kowtowed and greeted him: "Greetings to the Marquis."

Jia Wei looked straight ahead and waved his hand, saying, "Each person will be given half a month's salary."

When he passed through the ceremonial gate, he saw a group of beautiful girls waiting in front of the hall.

At the head was Baochai, with three concubines, Ding Baiying, Mu Wanqing and Rushuang, on one side and two women, Youshi and Qin Keqing, on the other side.

All the ladies bowed and greeted him.

Jia Wei felt relaxed all over, and walked inside holding Baochai's hand. Several girls hurriedly made way for him. Jia Wei's eyes suddenly glanced at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Youshi and Qin Keqing.

Because Jia Wei's wives and concubines were present, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both wore plain clothes. After all, she was a widow and unemployed, and if she wore brightly colored clothes, it would cause gossip.

Jia Wei glanced at Youshi and suddenly his eyes fell on Qin Keqing. She was wearing a white dress, but looked particularly pretty.

Although Qin Keqing was a widow, she was less than twenty years old and was exceptionally delicate. Her red lips and delicate nose resembled those of Baochai, while her eyebrows and eyes had the temperament of Daiyu.

Jia Wei's eyes were glued to her for a second, thinking that it would be a waste of talent to forget this fairy who had both the beauty of Chai and Dai.

His eyes fixed, but he did not hesitate, and walked inside with Baochai in his hand. No one else noticed anything strange, except Qin Keqing, who felt as if she was pricked by a needle under his aggressive gaze.

Her heart trembled, and she saw the tall figure leading the crowd away, and she hurriedly followed...

"The palace has awarded the Lin family a house in Buzhengfang. You should order people to help clean it, and then go to the warehouse to pick out a few items, pack them and send them over." Jia Wei gave the order as soon as he sat down.

Baochai agreed, took the tea set from Xiangling, and poured it for Jia Wei.

"Just now the old lady sent Lin Zhixiao's family to invite Yu'er. According to etiquette, we should go and pay our respects to her."

"Well, I'll take you there this afternoon. Let's have dinner at the mansion first."

Baochai then ordered people to go to the garden to invite Daiyu, Baoqin and others.

Jia Wei held her back and said, "By the way, tomorrow you should invite a host in the garden and invite the elder sister, Ying girl, Tan girl, and Yun sister to come and play."

"Yes."

Baochai left the house and discussed with Youshi to ask someone to go to the Buzhengfang to help. She then went to the storehouse herself and picked out a glass screen, ten pounds of the best bird's nest, ten strings of pearls, four gold-plated pots, five pieces of silk, five rolls of gauze, two rolls of python satin, two lynx skins, one green fox skin, and one sable skin. She packed them all and sent them to the Lin residence.

After returning and everyone was gathered, they set the table for dinner. After eating, they drank some tea, left the Marquis' Mansion and headed towards Rongguo Mansion.

Because Jia Wei returned to Beijing after traveling south for several months, the gate of Rongguo Mansion was wide open, and the housekeeper Lin Zhixiao respectfully led him into the mansion.

Because Jia Zheng was exiled to the southern province and Jia She lived in the east wing, there was no man in the Rong Mansion to receive Jia Wei.

Jia Wei then went to Jia's grandmother's courtyard with the other girls. When they arrived at the hanging flower gate, the servants left, and Chai, Dai and the others got off the sedan chair and went in together.

"Oh, Master Er, Madam Er, and Miss Lin are all back!"

Under the corridor in front of the porch, four or five little maids in blue satin vests saw it and immediately passed the message inside happily.

Three or four people were vying to hit the big red gorilla felt curtain in front of Rongqing Hall, and the older maids were not able to snatch it even from a younger maid.

Baoqin laughed secretly when she saw it, Xiuyan also looked up, Daiyu said with a smile: "This is the little actor, the curtain-raiser in the old lady's courtyard, who is the best at making curtains." Jia Yu and his party were walking in when they suddenly saw a large group of people coming out of the house. It was Jia Mu leading Li Wan and others.

When Daiyu saw him, she hurried over to greet him. Although she was living under someone else's roof in Rong Mansion and was not happy in every way, Grandmother Jia treated her very well and doted on her, so she and Grandmother Jia had a deep relationship.

As soon as Daiyu bowed and did not greet him, Jia's mother hugged her and said, "My dear, you are finally back."

Grandmother Jia loved Jia Min very much, so after Jia Min's death, her feelings for Jia Min shifted to her only daughter, Daiyu.

When the three sisters Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun grew up, they moved out of Grandmother Jia's courtyard and were sent to Lady Wang's house to be raised. Grandmother Jia only kept Daiyu, which shows how much she doted on her.

When Daiyu went to the south of the Yangtze River this time, Jia's grandmother thought she would never come back. Yangzhou was thousands of miles away from the capital, and she was old. She was afraid that she would not be able to see Daiyu again in the future, so she missed her too much. Now when she saw Daiyu, she actually shed tears.

Daiyu was a sensitive person. When she saw her grandmother crying, she started crying too.

The people standing by were not stupid. Seeing Jia Mu and Dai Yu crying, they all covered their faces and wept. Only the three women behind Jia Wei seemed out of place...

"Alright, old lady, that's enough. Sister Lin is back now."

After Jia Wei finished speaking, the courtyard fell silent. Everyone wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. They thought that in the two Jia mansions, only Jia Wei dared to speak to the old lady like this...

Grandmother Jia listened to Jia Wei's words, and thought about how she had raised Daiyu from childhood, and had always wanted to match her with Baoyu in the future, so that her granddaughter would become her granddaughter-in-law, thus strengthening the relationship between the two. However, she never expected that when Daiyu returned to Yangzhou this time, she would be snatched away by Jia Wei.

Lin Ruhai was the one who made the decision on this matter, and she couldn't interfere. She was so sad that she cried even harder. Everyone was busy trying to comfort her. Seeing this, Baochai also went up to persuade her.

There was a commotion in the courtyard, and Jia Wei took the opportunity to steal a glance at Wang Xifeng. He saw that she was wearing a bright red dress and had an extremely coquettish figure.

Feng Lazi had a bulging belly and a bit of maternal glow on her face.

Jia Wei looked her up and down, thinking in his heart.

Suddenly, Wang Xifeng seemed to feel his burning gaze and turned to meet Jia Wei's gaze.

Even though she was already a married woman and was pregnant by Jia Wei, there was not a single trace of fear on Feng Jie'er's face.

She raised her pointed chin slightly, casually stroked her abdomen with one hand, and glared at Jia Wei with her triangular eyes.

"hiss……"

Jia Wei took a breath of cold air.

This Wang Xifeng is even more charming!

Suddenly, his eyes met Yuanchun's. Yuanchun's eyes were bright as she looked at Jia Wei quietly, as if she was looking forward to something.

Facing this gentle sister, Jia Wei's gaze softened a little, and he nodded and smiled at her.

Yuanchun immediately lowered her eyes, her cheeks flushed, but the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Finally, there is Yuanyang, although she was sent here by Grandmother Jia when Jia Wei got married.

But Jia Yu had gone south in the past few months, and she had nothing to do in the mansion, so she often came to serve Jia's mother...

There are Yuanchun and Wang Xifeng in the West Mansion, and there are Qin Keqing, the three sisters of You, Qingwen, Xiangling and other women in the Marquis Mansion.

Jia Wei also felt that he was overwhelmed. No matter how high his martial arts skills were or how healthy his body was, he was just one person. This task was arduous...
