On the day when Chu Mingkai personally escorted the four Bu Shiren to the Shuntian Mansion Yamen, it was also the second day of the Battle of the Royal Palace.
That afternoon, a carriage guarded by many soldiers stopped outside the west corner gate of Rongguo Mansion. A tall, middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a first-class military attache stepped out of the carriage.
This middle-aged man is Wang Ziteng, a first-rank military envoy of the Beijing camp, the head of the Wang family, the main supporter of the Jia family in the officialdom, the brother of Mrs. Wang, and the uncle of Wang Xifeng.
The few well-dressed gatekeepers guarding the west corner gate were slacking off as always, either chatting, lazily leaning against the door, or sitting and yawning...
When several disciples saw a number of soldiers guarding a carriage approaching, and some disciples judged that the person was Wang Ziteng, several disciples stood up straight.
When the carriage stopped at the west corner gate and Wang Ziteng stepped out of the carriage, everyone at the gate looked respectful, and some even called out "Sir Wang" flatteringly.
Prince Teng didn't bother to look at these doors. Under the escort of two soldiers, he walked directly into the west corner door and went to Jia Zheng's outer study in a familiar way.
Soon, Wang Ziteng and Jia Zheng walked out of the outer study together and walked towards Rongqing Hall.
…
…
There were many people in Rongqing Hall at this time.
There are Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Youshi, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhou, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Jia Baoyu, Yuanyang, Qianxue and other maids, as well as a group of daughters-in-law, mothers-in-law...
…
Some were called by Jia Mu, and some came by themselves without being called by Jia Mu. The purpose was to get the news about Jia Yun from Jia Mu as soon as possible.
Although there were many people in Rongqing Hall today, the atmosphere was not as lively and cheerful as usual, but seemed a bit awkward.
Because many of the masters here and even the maids, daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law who are waiting underground are worried about Jia Yun. Once Jia Yun really commits a serious crime, the Jia family may be implicated.
After all, Jia Yun's surname is Jia, and she is a side branch of Jia's family. In the past two years, Jia's family has become closer to Jia Yun. A few days ago, Jia's mother personally summoned Jia Yun, and when it came to the White Lotus Sect and the attack on the palace, even if
Jia Yun is just a side branch with a shallow blood relationship, and may also implicate the Jia family.
Not to mention anything else, if Jia Yun really committed a major crime, the emperor in the palace would probably think of Jia Yun whenever he saw Yuanchun in the future, which would affect Yuanchun.
Jia Mu felt helpless at this time. So many people gathered in her Rongqing Hall this afternoon, but the atmosphere was a bit awkward, which made her already depressed by worry become even more depressed.
Even Wang Xifeng, the granddaughter-in-law who is always good at making Jia Mu laugh, said some humorous words today that Jia Mu didn't find funny.
At this moment, a woman hurriedly walked into Rongqing Hall and said to Jia Mu: "Old lady, the second master and the Wang family are coming this way together."
When Jia Mu heard this, she straightened up immediately.
Soon, Jia Zheng and Wang Ziteng walked outside Rongqing Hall. After getting permission from Jia Mu to enter, two maids in red and green opened the curtain cage on the door together, and Jia Zheng and Wang Ziteng left together.
Go in.
Immediately, the mistresses who were sitting in the Rongqing Hall, including Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, and Jia Baoyu, all stood up. When Jia Zheng and Wang Ziteng both greeted Jia Mu, they sat down.
Finally, they sat down again.
Jia Mu couldn't wait to ask Wang Ziteng: "But have you found out the news about Brother Yun?"
Wang Ziteng said in a sighing tone: "Old lady, Brother Yun has really done something great this time!"
Jia's mother's heartstrings tightened: "Did he really commit something serious?"
Unexpectedly, Wang Ziteng said: "It's not that you have committed a major crime, but that you have made a great contribution!"
Jia Mu's eyes suddenly lit up: "How do you say this?"
Wang Ziteng sighed: "Yesterday, Brother Yun, two martial arts classmates, Cao Wu and Tang Daqian, participated in the battle of the palace. I heard that Brother Yun killed dozens of White Lotus rebels by himself, and also saved the guards.
The Minister of Internal Affairs, Qin Houxiang, spared Lord Qin's life, and together with the four princes guarded the inner court and the harem outside Yangxin Hall."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire Rongqing Hall suddenly changed. From the previous depression, tension, and embarrassment, it suddenly turned into surprise and even shock...
Jia Mu was stunned. After she realized what she was doing, she quickly asked, "Is this true?"
Wang Ziteng said: "How can it be false?"
Jia Mu thought: "Brother Yun... this is a great achievement, a military achievement!"
Wang Xifeng thought in her heart: "It's amazing, it's amazing. This nephew Yun is really amazing this time. How can he be able to achieve this?"
Tanchun thought: "Nephew Yun is a man who does great things. Although he is my nephew and calls me aunt according to the etiquette, I think he is like a very capable brother!"
Yuanyang thought: "Second Master Yun is so young, he is not only a martial arts prodigy but also a majestic general!"
Qianxue thought in her heart: "Oh, I really want to be Master Yun's maid. Although this house is a wealthy and gentle place, and I can get a lot of property every year when I stay here, I still want to be the maid next to Master Yun."
That would be great. If I can be Master Yun's roommate in the future, I will be very lucky!"
Although Jia Zheng was very excited when he heard Wang Ziteng talk about this in the study before, he was very excited again now: "Yun'er is really good, very good!"
At present, some people in Rongqing Hall are unhappy with this.
For example, Mrs. Xing couldn't help but think of how she had prevented Jia Yun from enrolling in Niu's martial arts school. She felt as if she had been slapped hard by Jia Yun.
For example, Jia Baoyu didn't like Jia Yun in the first place. After Jia Yun "took" his Xiren sister, Zijuan sister, he not only disliked Jia Yun but also disliked her.
At this moment, what Jia Baoyu was thinking in his heart was: "Humph, this stinky and vulgar martial artist is really a scourge. He has caused me to lose Sister Pearl and Sister Yingge, and has killed two sisters who were originally made of water."
He has made us smell bad, and now he has made our whole family worry in vain because of him."
Although the big-faced baby thought so, he had to admit in his heart that Jia Yun had made a great contribution this time.
Mother Jia couldn't wait to ask Wang Ziteng again: "Brother Yun of our Jia family has made such great achievements. Where is he now?"
Now when she said this, she felt doubly happy!
Because she doesn't like the Wang family, nor does she like Wang Ziteng. She thinks that Wang Ziteng has taken up a very important role in the Jia family, and feels that it is aggrieved that the Jia family has to rely on Wang Ziteng.
And now, haha, our Jia family has a brother who has made great achievements and achieved military honors!
