No matter how unpleasant the rumors outside are, the official change of power in Rongguo Mansion is going very smoothly.
Jia Lian first went to the palace to pay homage to the emperor and the Supreme Emperor as a third-class mighty general, and then returned to his residence to hold a banquet to celebrate. The most important thing was that he and Wang Xifeng had officially settled in Rongxi Hall.
In the eyes of outsiders, relatives and friends, Lian Er has officially become the head of the Rongguo Mansion, and is not just as simple as a knight.
Although Lian Er was only a junior, Jia Jing, who had been cultivating Taoism outside the city for many years, as well as two princes from the Shi family, and the head of the Wang family, Prince Tengdu, the governor of the capital camp, came to celebrate in person.
The remaining six families of the Eight Founding Fathers sent their direct descendants to those who were close to him, and they also sent valuable congratulatory gifts to those who were not close to him. Most of the families in the distinguished circles in the capital expressed their gratitude.
There were also members of the Jia family in the capital, as well as officials and wealthy businessmen who wanted to curry favor. The Rong Mansion was filled with guests and it was very lively, giving it a prosperous atmosphere.
Lian Er was greeted and sent off so hard that his face was frozen with laughter. Wang Xifeng's red face was full of high spirits. Today, they and his wife are the protagonists. No matter what the visitors think, at least their appearance is not bad at all.
Jia's mother entertained several close female relatives in Rongqing Hall, accompanied by Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing. When she heard the noisy and noisy sounds outside, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Jia She and Jia Zheng entertained Shijia Shuanghou and Wang Ziteng, as well as Jia Jing, who had been practicing immortality for many years, and the patriarch Jia Zhen accompanied them.
The whole table was full of relatives, but they were not that outgoing. After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere became tense. The third son of the Shi family could not help but ask: "Hou Enhou, why did you suddenly give up the title?"
The eyes of the others all looked over, even Jia Zheng was no exception. They were very curious about what Jia She did, it was really strange.
"It's nothing, I just stayed at home for a long time and wanted to do something active and find a job outside!"
Jia She held the wine glass and said disapprovingly: "When the time comes, I will be running around outside without caring about the affairs of the house, so I might as well give up my title to save myself the trouble!"
Everyone was speechless, Ya's reason was really weird, and they were speechless.
"Why, did Enhou hear any news? Why are you suddenly thinking of getting a job?"
The second son of the Shi family was moved in his heart. He smiled and opened his mouth to test, but his heart was filled with worry. Others didn't know about Jia She, but he knew that this guy was anything but simple.
The Wang Ziteng next to him had his eyes flashing and his ears perked up unconsciously. If he had looked down on Jia She before, he did not dare to look down upon him in the slightest after the transfer of title to the Rongguo Mansion.
Giving up titles is by no means a trivial matter. It is no different now than at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Nowadays, the emperor and the emperor control the title very strictly, and they also attach great importance to the inheritance of the title. The situation in Rongguo Mansion is like this. Jia She wants to go smoothly.
Giving up Jue to Lian Er is not an easy thing.
But Jia She not only accomplished it, but he also did it quietly. The speed of agreeing now is surprisingly fast, and the hidden meaning makes people shudder when thinking about it.
Jia She's connections are not as deep as usual. He can easily get through the palace's connections and can easily pass the current level. Can anyone have such ability?
Even if Wang Ziteng claims to be his current confidant, he is not completely sure if he wants to achieve this level.
Hearing the Shi family's second son ask such questions, his heart trembled. It was obvious that Jia She's hidden energy was much more powerful than he imagined.
The second most powerful historian is a powerful prince. Although he is only a doctor in the Ministry of War, as the historian of the founding twelve princes, how well-informed are his sources of information?
Even so, the second son of the historian wanted to inquire about the direction of the wind from Jia She's mouth. The meaning in it really made him feel complicated, and he actually felt a little unspeakable jealousy.
"What kind of news can I hear? I see that the Supreme Emperor is becoming more and more kind and wants to come out and do something?"
Jia She smiled indifferently and said leisurely: "I believe you all know that the Supreme Emperor has been very fond of Prince Yizhong in recent years!"
The two princes of the Shi family, including Wang Ziteng, all felt suddenly when they heard this. They didn't understand what Jia She meant, but they didn't want to ask more, lest they reveal their thoughts and let others know.
The meal was a dull one, and when the tables were dispersed in the evening, they dispersed without staying too long.
"Brother Jing, the wind has changed now, why don't you come back?"
When the banquet was over, Jia She grabbed Jia Jing who was about to leave and spoke with a smile.
"Forget it, I'm used to the Taoist practice life, what will I do when I come back?"
Jia Jing shook his head and refused: "Since Brother She has decided to go out and do things, I won't say anything against it. Just be careful!"
After saying that, he left quietly under the attentive service of his son Jia Zhen, and returned directly to Xuanzhen Temple outside the city the next day. I don't know if he was really addicted to cultivating immortals, or if he couldn't pass the threshold in his heart.
From then on, the Rongguo Mansion entered the era when Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were in charge. Jia Zheng and his family occupied several connected courtyards around Lixiang Yuan. Although they were not separated, they lived alone.
However, Jia Zheng suddenly received a severe blow and when he recovered, he had to give up his position as the head of the family. How could he let go of his anger so easily?
No, not long after Lian Er performed the ceremony of seizing the title, he took advantage of the opportunity to pay his respects and complained to Jia Mu.
"Mom, my eldest brother actually wants to go out to do things. What can he do, other than want to do mischief outside again?"
Jia Zheng complained seriously, as if Jia She was really unworthy, and did not think about what kind of person he was, but it was Jia's mother who was most susceptible to this.
"What, what kind of trouble does that traitor want to cause?"
Jia Mu showed a dissatisfied look and hurriedly greeted: "Yuanyang, go and call the eldest man, and tell him that the old lady has something to discuss with him!"
Yuanyang responded and went out, but she felt quite uneasy in her heart. If possible, she really didn't want to offend the old man.
"Boss, I heard that you are going out to do some work?"
Seeing Jia Sheshi Shiran come in, Jia Mu asked in a bad tone: "Don't do anything stupid again, don't embarrass Rongguo Mansion!"
"I don't like hearing this from the old lady!"
He found a chair and sat down at random, and Jia She asked, "I want to go out and find something serious to do, am I not going to bother anyone?"
As he spoke, he looked directly at Jia Zheng, who was silent on the side, and his meaning was self-evident.
This is what he despises the most. He doesn't want to be on the front line, but he likes to push the old lady out and suppress others with filial piety. It's a pity that he doesn't accept this trick.
"Then tell me, what 'serious thing' do you want to do?"
Seeing Jia Zheng's embarrassed look, Jia's mother was unhappy and said angrily, "Boss, you are already so old. If you don't enjoy yourself in the house, what can you do when you go out?"
hehe……
In Jia She's heart, ten thousand grass and mud horses roared past, and he didn't know whether to say mmp or not.
"Old lady, I'm not even forty years old. I'm much younger than those '50 Young Scholars'. Why can't I do anything?"
Jia She waved his hand and said decisively before Jia Mu could say anything: "I can either move out directly. Anyway, it is impossible for me to continue to stay in the house!"
When Jia Mu heard this, she fell back in anger, but she didn't want to push it too far. Didn't you see that the face of the second child next to her changed? She took a deep breath and sneered: "Okay, okay, I can't control you anymore, boss, what do you think?"
You can do whatever you want, but you must make it clear beforehand. If you disgrace the Rongguo Mansion and let outsiders see our Rongguo Mansion’s jokes, don’t blame me for being rude to you!"
After saying that, he waved his hand to indicate that Jia She could leave. Seeing that face made him feel upset.
"Second brother, you have to work harder. Don't let my white body pass you by then. Your face won't look good by then, but you won't be able to blame me!"
Jia She was not angry. Jia Mu had this temper and he was used to it. As long as he didn't go too far, he turned a deaf ear. When he left, he was kind enough to remind Jia Zheng, who had been silent all this time.
After saying that, he ignored the livid look on the second child's face, laughed and turned around to leave.
…
The news that the eldest master was leaving the mansion to do some work spread quickly throughout the Rongguo Mansion, and then to the Ningguo Mansion next door with lightning speed.
The servants talked about this matter with disdain, and the ladies took it as a joke and spread it wantonly. The maids were also not optimistic about it, thinking that the eldest man was too out of touch and would just come up with whatever he thought.
"My second master Lian, what's going on with the eldest master?"
As the housekeeper's grandmother, Wang Xifeng naturally got the news immediately, and she was immediately dissatisfied. After hurriedly handling a lot of trivial matters, she returned to her residence and saw Lian Er there. She couldn't help but feel angry and sarcastic, with a smile on her face.
It's full of disdain.
"The elder wants to go out and do some work, isn't it possible?"
Lian Er was originally in a good mood, but when he saw Wang Xifeng's disdainful look on his face, he felt unhappy and said angrily: "Doesn't this bother Second Grandma?"
"How come it doesn't bother my eyes?"
When Wang Xifeng saw Lian Er's perfunctory attitude, she immediately became angry. He sneered and said disdainfully: "The eldest master comes out as soon as he thinks of it. The servants in the whole house are talking about it, but no one is optimistic about the eldest master. What do you think, Lian Er master?"
Do I have face?"
"Which servant is so rude, just throw him out!"
Jia Lian said dissatisfied: "They are a bunch of talkative people who like to chew on their tongues without doing things seriously. Sooner or later, they will be unlucky with their bad mouths!"
"Hey, the second master is quite domineering. Don't you know the rules of the house?"
Wang Xifeng's eyebrows stood up, and she said unhappily: "The servants are so lenient in the house that they can only enter or leave. If Second Master Lian is really that cruel, why not go to the old lady and tell her!"
"Say what you say, isn't it just a trivial matter?"
Lian Er immediately gave up. He had only been in charge for a short period of time, and he couldn't get rid of his previous habit of being a housekeeper. He was in awe of the old lady and didn't have the courage to bother her with trivial matters.
"What a trivial matter, go and ask the great master if you can calm down a little bit."
Wang Xifeng said angrily: "You have been making the house miserable all day long, how can you still live your life?"
