Xue Pan felt excited when he heard this, and his eyes as big as copper bells widened.

Good guy, my uncle is so honorable. After a baby is born, guests, princes, military generals, and even the chief minister of the cabinet are given face to come to celebrate his birthday. What kind of power is this?

At the same time, Rongqing Hall was filled with pearls and greenery, warm as spring, and laughter and laughter echoed from every corner.

Jia Mu was sitting on the Arhat bed, with Yuanyang and Amber squeezing her shoulders, with a smile on her face and an expression of leisure and relaxation.

On the embroidered pier below, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Feng Wan, Yingchun, Tanchun, Daiyu, Baochai, Xiangyun, Baoyu and others were sitting there, with maids waiting behind them.

In the Rongqing Hall, which is partitioned by twelve screens, women and maids stood waiting with their hands down, not hearing their coughs.

"My sworn brother, my daughter-in-law, I haven't seen you for a while," Jia Mu said with a smile.

Wang Yi's daughter-in-law took her daughter and followed Wang Yi to Jia's house for a visit.

The daughter is twelve years old and her name is Wang Zi. The little girl is short in stature and has a pink face. She has no makeup on her petite melon-seed face. Her eyes are as full as water under her willow-leaf eyebrows. Sister Feng is holding her hand and talking.

Baoyu peeked at Wang Zi's face from time to time. There was a look of eagerness on his full moon face, wanting to come forward and talk.

He secretly thought that this girl from the Wang family actually looked like a boudoir queen.

Zijuan, who was behind Daiyu, gently tugged on Daiyu's sleeve and signaled with her eyes.

Daiyu's starry eyes turned, and then she looked at Baoyu's expression. When she saw Baoyu's eyes were dazed, with a smile on her face, she secretly shook her head.

Brother Bao has this temperament, so there is nothing surprising about it.

Wang Zi used to live in Jinling Province and only recently arrived in Shenjing.

Wang Yi's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li, is a young lady with beaded hair and embroidered flowers, dressed in silk and satin. She is in her mid-twenties, has slim shoulders and slim waist, and a face with oval seeds. She is gorgeous and charming. Maybe it's because of the makeup.

With a somewhat flirtatious look, she smiled and said: "Old lady, if you have free time, you can come over and have fun. My mother-in-law is here to talk about you."

Jia Mu smiled, but she felt a little unhappy. According to her seniority, it was only reasonable for Wang Ziteng's wife to come to visit, so she asked: "It's been a year since I last saw her. Why didn't she come here today?"

Dropping in?"

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Because I will be the father's son tomorrow, my mother-in-law has to receive orders from various families, and she is too busy to leave. I told her to rest and I will take care of the arrangements, but my mother-in-law couldn't be idle, so she still

These are all ladies of the first or second rank in the capital, Madam, it’s not a good idea to neglect them.”

The smile on Jia Mu's face faltered again, and she felt a little worried.

Although Jia Mu didn't know what Versailles was, she felt a little uncomfortable listening to Li's excited description.

Mrs. Wang asked curiously: "Who are the guests invited?"

This question was exactly what Wang Yi's daughter-in-law wanted. The smile on her face became more and more prosperous as she said, "As for my aunt, I know that the only people who have given invitations are Prince Beijing, Prince Nan'an, Duke Zhen Guo,

The Duke of managing the country, the Duke of governing the country, the Duke of repairing the country, the Duke of repairing the country... These dozen or so old relatives, as well as the governors, generals, and guerrilla generals in the Beijing camp, needless to say, the master is in charge of hundreds of thousands of people in the Beijing camp.

Man, this didn’t even mention that if all the thousands of households below were to pass away, I’m afraid it wouldn’t even be enough to have a hundred tables of running water mats in the house.”

Aunt Xue, who was listening on the side, was filled with joy, and with a proud smile on her face, she echoed: "This baby is living a life of great style and dignity."

Everyone was laughing in agreement, this was the atmosphere group.

Aunt Xue smiled, then looked at Baochai aside, and saw that although her daughter also had a slight smile on her face, Aunt Xue, who was familiar with her daughter's temperament, still saw something was wrong.

She thought to herself, is there something wrong with what she just said?

Baochai's apricot eyes flickered, but she caught the change in the expression on Jia Mu's face. She picked up the tea on the side and took a sip of the fragrant tea, feeling somewhat enlightened in her heart.

Sister Feng Danfeng's eyes were filled with smiles and she said, "Sister-in-law, did my cousin just invite Brother Heng?"

Wang Yi's wife smiled and said: "Yes, the master values ​​cousin Heng very highly. I heard that my cousin returned to the capital after suppressing the bandits, so they all welcomed him outside the city of Shenjing. I happened to meet my aunt and sister Baochai one day, right?

"

As he said that, he looked at Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue nodded, the smile still on her face, but she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

That day, she thought her brother was going out of the city to meet her.

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

But over at Ningguo Mansion, while Xue Pan was thinking wildly, Wang Yi was enjoying Jia Zheng's envious gaze, and his heart couldn't help but become more and more happy. Taking the opportunity, he frowned and said: "Uncle, it's not me who said that Brother Heng is not a good official."

In the past few days, Pu'er's pretensions were getting bigger and bigger. A few days ago, when he came back from studying abroad, my father personally went out of the city to greet him, saying that he would be a welcome blessing for him. He turned out to be fine, neither cold nor hot. I

I just want to say, does he look down on us old relatives or something?"

Xue Pan interjected: "Brother, didn't you say that cousin Heng went to the palace to meet the saint?"

Wang Yi: "..."

Xue Datou, if you don’t speak, no one will put a halter on you and lead you to be sold!

Jia Zheng's expression paused, and he looked at Wang Yi and said, "Although Brother Heng has a cooler temperament, he is still very polite to some old relatives. It's just that the last time he was knighted, it seems that not many relatives came to congratulate him."

Jia Zheng was not stupid. At this moment, he also knew that Wang Yi was picking on his Jia family, and in turn mentioned Jia Heng's original ennoblement celebration banquet.

Wang Yi's face paused, his aura weakened a bit, and he said: "Isn't my father not in Beijing at the beginning?"

Jia Zhengning frowned and said, "Okay, let's not talk about those things for now. I heard that Brother Heng and your father work together in the army. We should support and support each other in the future."

When Wang Yi heard this, he felt that the boss was unhappy. Who was supporting whom?

In terms of official positions, his father was the military governor of the Beijing camp, and Jia Heng was in charge of an army.

Just when Wang Yi looked gloomy, he heard a servant coming from outside to report, "Uncle Heng is here."

After hearing these words, Wang Yi was stunned, and when he looked around, he saw a tall, tall young man with a calm face, already approaching.

As soon as he saw Jia Heng, Jia Zheng stood up immediately, smiled, and called: "Brother Heng, you are here."

Xue Pan almost jumped up from his chair, with a joyful expression on his face and said with a smile: "Cousin Heng, you are finally here."

He had heard about what happened yesterday. His mother wanted to send him to school, but this elder brother Heng firmly refused and pointed out a good way for him to join the army and become a general next to his uncle.

I thought I could lead a lot of people...

The smile on Xue Pan's face became even stronger.

Although he slapped himself a few times in the beginning, it was because he was blinded by lard and yelled randomly.

Wang Yi looked somewhat dazzling when he was sitting there, and his eyes were clouded, so he had to stand up and look at the boy opposite him who was ten years younger than him.

He smiled and said, "Brother Heng is really handsome. I have often heard my father mention Brother Heng. Now that I have met him, I am really more famous than before. He is very promising at a young age. He is very promising at a young age."

Jia Heng looked blank, turned to look at Jia Zheng, and asked doubtfully: "Who is this?"

"Brother Heng, is this what you can call me?"

In fact, in the east and west mansions, except for the elderly people such as Jia Mu, Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang, and Jia Zheng, few people call Jia Heng brother Heng.

Wang Yi: "..."

He couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart. Although he had known for a long time that this villain was successful, seeing his arrogant and arrogant face, he still couldn't suppress the rising anger.

Jia Zhengdao: "Brother Heng, this is your cousin Wang Yi from the Wang family."

Jia Heng glanced at Wang Yi. In fact, he had just heard some of Wang Yi's words.

There is only a four-word evaluation, I don’t know what it means!

As far as he knew, this Young Master Wang was not involved in official circles. He was a candidate for colleagues. He usually did business and helped the prince to socialize at home and everywhere.

"It turns out they are Wang brothers. I wonder which yamen the Wang brothers are employed in?" Jia Heng asked intentionally.

Wang Yi: "..."

His face was green and white, how could he not know that he was making a fool of himself!

Jia Zheng explained: "Your cousin from the Wang family is doing some business in Beijing, and he has donated a candidate for the position."

Jia Heng nodded, said "Oh", and sat down on the main seat without comment.

Seeing Jia Heng's "arrogant" attitude, Wang Yi's face was a bit cold, and his tone was hard, saying: "Brother Heng, tomorrow is my father's son. Brother Heng, please be sure to honor me tomorrow."

.”

As he spoke, he slapped the greeting card in his sleeve heavily on the small table, clearly with anger.

Seeing this, Jia Zheng's heart skipped a beat. His eyes wandered back and forth between Wang Yi and Jia Heng. He sighed and thought to himself, "Young and energetic."

Jia Heng said coldly: "Is he the son of Wang Jieshuai tomorrow? I'm afraid I can't get away. I made an appointment with Mr. Li Ge to discuss military affairs at the Ministry of War. After that, I have to go to the Wucheng Military and Horse Division and Guo Yong Camp.

In order to handle official business, I also ask the brothers of the Wang family to inform Wang Jieshuai on my behalf that a generous gift will be presented to him tomorrow."

In fact, it is not just about the Wang family, there is something really wrong. He has been resting for two or three days since he came back, and it is time for him to sit down and take care of things.

As for Wang Ziteng’s baby, I can go there or not.

In Chapter 52 of the original work Red Mansions, Baoyu once complained: "I can't even make a fuss about birthdays every year."

Jia Heng had reason to suspect that Wang Ziteng was taking advantage of his birth day to make a fortune or win over influence.

Besides, Wang Yi is too arrogant and has no courtesy at all.

When Wang Yi heard this, he sneered and said: "I know that Brother Heng is busy with official duties, but how can he be more busy than the chief minister of the cabinet who is busy with government affairs and has many things to do? Tomorrow, the general of the Fifth Army Governor's Office and the Twelfth Regiment Battalion will...

And Mr. Yang Ge from the cabinet might not all come to the banquet, but Brother Heng is busy with his affairs?"
To be continued...
