In the next three days, Cheng Huanian quietly inquired about Jia Yun's situation.
Cheng Huanian's family is quite wealthy, and he is not only a bookseller for many years, but also a civil servant, so he has a wide circle of friends. The Jing family's martial arts is well-known in Shenjing City, and the Jia family is even more famous. Both of them are in Shenjing.
The circles in Beijing are also large.
It is not difficult for Cheng Huanian to secretly inquire about Jia Yun's situation.
The result of the inquiry was naturally that what Jia Yun said was true.
Although Jia Yun was a despised side branch of Rongguo Mansion in the past, she was now appreciated by Rongguo Mansion, and Jia's mother provided herself with money and gave her good horses.
What's more, Jia Yun is still a magical boy in Jing's martial arts. In the future, he will probably be able to do martial arts in high school.
After inquiring, Jia Yun's weight in Cheng Huanian's heart became even heavier.
So Cheng Huanian and Jia Yun signed a literary contract. Since Jia Yun was "not an author," she signed a literary contract as an agent.
There is no way in this world that Jia Yun does not have the right to sign a contract just because she is young.
During the three days that Cheng Huanian inquired about the situation, Jia Yun was not idle. During the period, he invited Ni Hu and Ni Er to a fine restaurant in Xicheng. He repaid Ni Hu's twenty taels of silver and deepened his relationship with Ni Hu.
friendship.
…
…
Two more days passed and it was New Year's Eve.
Whenever New Year's Eve comes, the Jia family will be very lively.
According to custom, on New Year's Eve, men surnamed Jia in the eighth house of the Jia family in Beijing, regardless of their age, generally participate in ancestor worship ceremonies.
Even Jia Jing, who was "cultivating immortality" in Xuanzhen Temple outside the city, had to come back to participate. Moreover, Jia Jing was still the main priest, and Jia She, who was the Duke of Rongguo Mansion, was the accompanying sacrifice.
In addition, many female relatives of the Jia family will also participate, including the old sisters-in-law of Jia's mother's generation.
Even if Bu Wuniang and Jia Yun were despised by Ning Rong and their blood relationship, both mother and son still need to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony on New Year's Eve.
(I won’t go into details about the ancestor worship ceremony on New Year’s Eve. It’s very lively and complicated. If you are interested, read the 53rd chapter of the original work, so as not to mention the author’s word count)
For Jia Yun, this time she participated in the Jia family's New Year's Eve ancestor worship ceremony, and her sense of presence was obviously much stronger than in previous years. Several side members took the opportunity to please him, and Jia Zheng also talked to him.
But that's all. Jia Yun's sense of existence is much worse than that of Jia Jing, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen and even Jia Lian, Jia Zhu, Jia Rong, Jia Baoyu and others.
Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, You Shi, Li Wan, Yuan Chun and other women also have a much stronger sense of presence than Jia Yun.
The one with the strongest sense of presence is undoubtedly Jia Mu, who can be said to be treated like a moon by all the stars.
Jia Mu was also very busy today. First, she took Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. You and other women with imperial titles, dressed in court clothes according to their rank, and went into the palace to pay tribute. After the banquet, she rushed back to Ningguo Mansion to sit down and worship her ancestors.
ceremony.
On this occasion, Jia Yun didn't even have a chance to see Jia Mu, not only because Jia Mu was held in the moonlight by the stars, but also because there were many female relatives around Jia Yun, and Jia Yun needed to avoid them.
Speaking of which, Jia Yun has never seen Jia Mu after time travel. Even though Jia Mu had appreciated him a little before and gave him a hundred taels of silver and asked Jia Zheng to pick a horse for him, Jia Mu didn't even summon him.
.
Previously, when Jia Zheng sent Lin Zhixiao to secretly send fifty taels of silver to Jia Yun, he asked Lin Zhixiao to tell Jia Yun that if Jia Yun succeeded in martial arts in the future, he would see Jia Yun again.
As a result, just over a month after these words were spoken, Jia Zheng met Jia Yun again.
When Jia Yun wanted to come, Jia's mother would not see him unless he succeeded in martial arts in the future.
In Jia Yun's view, Jia's mother was an old lady who was rich, honorable, and greedy for pleasure. However, this old lady was the wife of the Duke of the country, and she was also the most powerful person in the Rongguo Mansion, and even the most powerful person in the entire Jia family.
Jia Yun felt that when the old lady summoned him, it meant that he was truly recognized by the Rongguo Mansion, and it also meant that his sense of presence in the Jia family had entered a new stage.
Now, even though there are several side branches trying to please him, he still doesn't have a high status in the Jia family.
No, that day, when Jia Yun went home after having an ancestor worship feast at Ningguo Mansion, she met Jia Xiao again at the entrance of Xilingxia Hutong, who lived near this alley.
Jia Xiao not only went to Jia Yun's house to make trouble, but also insulted Bu Wuniang. Later, Jia Zheng took back his orders and went to Jia Yun's house to ridicule her again. When he met Jia Yun and Ni Er at the entrance of the alley, he ridiculed Jia Yun again.
Even now, although he has no reason to ridicule Jia Yun anymore, he still despises and hates Jia Yun in his heart.
At this moment, Jia Yun met Jia Xiao at the entrance of the alley. Even though she was disgusted in her heart, she still managed to smile and show courtesy: "Yun'er has met Mr. Xiao."
Jia Xiao snorted: "I know you are dissatisfied with me in your heart. When we meet in the future, please don't pretend to greet me and show courtesy, so as not to disturb my purity and make me feel bad."
"Don't think that now that you have become a member of Lao Shizi's martial arts school and got one hundred taels of silver and a good horse from Xifu, it will be great."
"I advise you not to dream about glory and glory in the future. You will definitely not pass the martial arts examination in high school. You will suffer in the future."
Jia Yun smiled slightly: "Since this is my intention, I will not dare to say hello to you when I see you in the future. I will treat you as if you are a passerby."
Jia Xiao: "..."
What I was thinking in my mind was: "I just said it casually, but you little bastard actually took it seriously?"
However, as an elder, and an elder who is used to putting on airs in front of Jia Yun, now that he has said these words, he will feel embarrassed if he takes them back.
And what Jia Yun is thinking at this moment is: "Old bastard, I have not wanted to see you pretending to say hello and show courtesy for a long time. Now you are the one who takes the initiative to tell me not to do this. In the future, I will treat you as a passerby, and you will be sued."
Jia Zheng, go ahead, I have something to say. Jia Xiao, Jia Xiao, from now on I won’t fake smiles or fake filial piety with you."
"snort!"
Jia Xiao glared at Jia Yun, turned around and left.
"Ha! Old bastard, I will punish you one day!"
Jia Yun thought to herself, walked into the alley, and returned home.
After a while, Ni Er's shout came from the yard: "Brother Yun..."
Jia Yun walked out of the hall door and looked at Ni Er, who was wearing a brand-new coat: "Boss, what do you want from me?"
Ni Er smiled and said: "We are having New Year's Eve dinner tonight. I thought that you and your mother are the only two people in your family. It would be a bit deserted to have New Year's Eve dinner. I don't have many family members. It's just me, my mother, my wife, and my daughter.
There are four, and I’m the only one, so it’s not very interesting. So I’m here to invite you and your mother to my house, and you and I will have a New Year’s Eve dinner together.”
"My family's New Year's Eve dinner tonight includes Siamese pigs, domestic cured pigs, fish, and chickens. You and your mother are here, and you won't be treated badly if you keep them."
In fact, Ni Er invited Jia Yun and Bu Wuniang to the New Year's Eve dinner this time, not only because of his friendship with Jia Yun, but also because he was somewhat clever and knew that he should now curry favor with Jia Yun.
Ni Hu learned about Jia Yun's situation at Jing's martial arts school and told Ni Er.
Jia Yun also saw that Ni Er was trying to fawn over him now, but he didn't mind. Ni Er was not only a righteous knight but also helped him a lot. He was not the kind of person who would abandon his friends after using them.
Jia Yun smiled and said: "In that case, I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."
I thought to myself: "Yes, Bu Wuniang and I are the only ones at home. It's deserted. We need to add someone else!"
At this moment, Jia Yun couldn't help but think of the maid she met on the street that day when it was lightly snowing. She opened the corner of the car curtain and only half of her face was exposed...
Pearl, well, this name is not good, but "Xi Ren" is better.
Jia Yun thinks that the name given to the big-faced baby is quite good.
