There was nothing to say to the two princes of the Shi family, and Jia Cong felt uneasy!
After saying hello, I stood aside and listened to the bragging and farting between the elder and these two people. It looked like they were familiar with each other and seemed to be very close to each other.
As for agreeing to communicate and build closer relationships with his fellow historians, that was the right thing to do, and he would not pretend to be uninterested.
This celebration banquet is not only to celebrate Lian Er, but also to show his potential.
With just one chain, the future is promising. At least there is a flag-carrying presence in Rongguo Mansion, so there is no longer the embarrassment of being neither up nor down like before.
This is what makes the old lady most unhappy and Mr. Zheng the most embarrassed.
The old lady was very optimistic about Jia Baoyu. She put almost all her energy into this guy and trained him carefully with a 'unique' training model.
As the head of the Rongguo Mansion, Mr. Zheng is able to mobilize most of the resources. Unfortunately, due to his own personality and his mediocre ability, he cannot support himself in the Rongguo Mansion, not to mention the difficulty of promotion.
Without the presence to prop up the facade, how could Rongguo Mansion not decline?
However, the news that the eldest master organized a large banquet and promoted Lian Er to the fourth rank of Shuntianfu Cheng was widely publicized in the elite circles in the capital.
Its intention is worth pondering.
In short, the elite circles in the capital were very considerate and sent important members to come to peace talks and witness the revival of the Rongguo Mansion.
Jia Cong was a little confused at first, not understanding that the eldest master was holding a feast despite the dissatisfaction of the old lady and the possible hatred of the second master Zheng. It was not until important members of the noble family in the capital came to visit that he suddenly realized.
Damn it, if anyone says that the elder is good for nothing and is a fool addicted to wine and sex, Jia Cong’s iron-clad big-ear scraper will be presented to you.
Even he himself, who was assigned by the big boss to meet people, also had the intention of letting him enter the core circle of the Xungui Group.
Otherwise, the direct descendants of the noble family would not treat him as an equal. Do you really think that the so-called family can stand in the eyes of these guys?
Even the Shijia Shuanghou, who is very enthusiastic at the moment, also has thoughts in this regard.
Now that the eldest boss has pushed him out, his future is not bad at all, so he must give him plenty of face.
It is very likely that Lin Ruhai also wanted to help him, so she talked to him for a long time. Didn't he see the eyes that Mr. Zheng glanced at from time to time? Was he so dissatisfied and gloomy?
Phoenix Egg Jia Baoyu was also present at the banquet, but unfortunately he was not a pig's trotter at this banquet, and he was not even a supporting role.
This guy was also a good guy. He thought it was boring to hang out with a bunch of big men, so he took the opportunity to sneak away, apparently to the women's house.
With Jia Cong's current strength, coupled with the fact that he is practicing the exquisite skills of the main world, it is not a problem for him to have sharp ears and eyesight.
At that moment, he was keenly aware of the change in Master Zheng Er's aura, and his face turned green and red, which was very ugly. He only wanted to accompany the guests so he didn't explode, fearing that Phoenix Egg would suffer, and a severe beating would be inevitable.
Dear disciples, you may not care about some things, but you must never give in to some things. Obviously, Phoenix Egg's behavior is not as simple as being stupid.
Jia Cong accepted the elder's intentions and arrangements calmly and did not feel much pressure or burden.
Whether you can successfully squeeze into the top circle of nobles in the capital depends on your own ability level, in addition to the secret support of the eldest boss and the help of the family.
Jia Cong didn't make any wild claims either. We will know after his performance in the future.
…
What was rare was that when the Shijia Shuanghou finally left, the old lady sent someone to call the eldest master, Lian Er and Jia Cong together.
The atmosphere in the main hall of Rongqing Hall was dull, and the old lady sat at the head of the table with a gloomy look on her face.
The eldest master and Mrs. Xing, the second master Zheng and Mrs. Wang sat on both sides. Lian Er and Jia Cong were just juniors, so they could only sit on the small stools in the corner.
These are the only people in the main hall. The rest, including the maids and young ladies, are not qualified to enter.
hehe……
It's funny to say that the Phoenix Egg was so praised by the old lady and the second wife, Mrs. Wang, but in the end, if there were really important matters to discuss, this guy wouldn't even be qualified to enter.
I really don’t know what kind of weird ideas the old lady and the second wife have in cultivating the younger generations?
"Boss, what do you want to do?"
After Lian Er and Jia Cong greeted each other one by one and sat in the corner to act as a transparent person, the old lady looked at the elder and asked straight to the point.
"Lian'er got promoted and I was so happy to have a big feast. What's wrong?"
The eldest man was unhappy and rolled his eyes: "What, why is the old lady unhappy when she sees that the eldest house is prosperous?"
This is rather disgusting.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
The old lady immediately said angrily: "Lian'er is also my grandson, so of course she will be happy if he gets promoted!"
"Old lady, what are you dissatisfied with?"
The elder was in a good mood today and did not give in at all when facing the old lady's displeasure. Filial piety also depends on the occasion and time.
"You bastard, even if Lian'er wants to celebrate, it must be in the name of Rongguo Mansion!"
The old lady was being unreasonable and ignored her previous negligence, which allowed the eldest man to take advantage of the loophole.
"The banquet has been served, is there any use in talking about it?"
The elder rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Is it possible that we can make all the guests forget what happened today?"
"I won't argue with you about this!"
The old lady snorted coldly to show her compromise, then she changed the topic and said displeasedly: "Then why didn't you take Baoyu with you instead of brother Cong?"
These words were quite harsh and unpleasant to hear.
Not to mention what the eldest man's reaction was, Lian Er's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he subconsciously looked at Jia Cong beside him, fearing that this kid would get angry.
To his relief, Jia Cong's expression remained as usual, as if he was not affected at all.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Lian Er was secretly relieved at this moment.
At the same time, I felt a little more dissatisfied with the old lady.
He was already upset that he didn't talk about the celebration and treat, and now he said such frank and partial words, did he really think that all the people in the big house were dead?
At this moment, not only Lian Er, but also Mr. Zheng Er, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Xing all looked at Jia Cong subconsciously.
Especially Mrs. Wang, a trace of imperceptible ferocity flashed across her face.
As long as Jia Cong dared to show any dissatisfaction, she would pin the label of 'unfilial' on this boy.
Mrs. Wang was previously accompanying the female family members and was not aware of what was happening in the main courtyard of the General's Mansion.
By the time I knew it, the banquet was almost over.
She could only gnash her teeth with hatred, she was quite dissatisfied with the elder, and she even had murderous thoughts towards Jia Cong who might have taken away the opportunity of the Phoenix Egg.
I don't even think about it, Phoenix Egg took the initiative to come to the female family members not long after the banquet started, and it was nothing to do with Jia Cong.
What surprised everyone was that in the face of the old lady's unabashed favoritism, which could even be said to be completely ignored, Jia Cong's expression remained unchanged, as if he was not affected at all.
It was indeed not affected. Jia Cong's state of mind at this time seemed like a calm lake, without any ripples.
Is the old lady probably dizzy?
Jia Cong just thought it was funny. He really thought that the fate of all the younger generations was in his hands. Did he ask the elder?
"Old lady, what do you mean?"
The elder was angry and said angrily: "I'm just Baoyu's uncle. It's not like he has no parents. Why should I, the uncle, take care of him when he's so old?"
"Boss, you would rather push a bastard than help Baoyu, right?"
The old lady's eyes were slightly cold and she said dissatisfiedly: "Or are you saying that your wings have become stiff and you want to overturn the world?"
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward.
The corners of Jia Cong's mouth twitched and he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
Old lady, there are two juniors here. Your tone of lecturing an ignorant young man is too disrespectful to the elder.
The elder's face turned red and he almost lost his breath.
But he didn't dare to get mad at the old lady, so he could only snort at Mr. Zheng Er, who had always been a dull man, and stood up directly to say hello: "Come on, let's go, since you're not welcome, why bother here!"
After saying that, he strode toward the entrance of Rongqing Hall.
Mrs. Xing moved swiftly. She stood up and saluted the old lady without saying a word, and then quickly followed the old man. Her movements were smooth and smooth.
Jia Cong and Lian Er looked at each other, hurriedly stood up and saluted, and left in a hurry before the old lady could react.
"A bunch of bastards!"
After a while, the old lady yelled from behind.
Dafang and his party walked faster, without any thought of returning to be scolded.
"Third brother, don't take the old lady's words to heart!"
On the way, Lian Er was worried that Jia Cong was holding evil fire in his stomach, so Lian Er cautiously comforted him and said, "As people get older, their tempers will inevitably become a bit left-handed!"
"I didn't take it to heart!"
Glancing at Lian Er lightly, Jia Cong raised the corner of his mouth and said leisurely: "Anyway, with the eldest master at the front, even if the old lady doesn't like me anymore, there's nothing she can do for a while!"
If he is really driven into a panic, the worst he can do is ask the old man for a long leave and hide in a village outside the city. Can the old lady still chase him and give him a hard time?
If you can't afford to offend him, I can always afford to hide.
Don’t forget, he still has the Imperial Mansion in his hands!
"It's good that you're not angry, kid!"
Feeling relieved, Lian Er couldn't help complaining: "Today's banquet is about the first room. What does it have to do with the second room and Baoyu? It must be involved and make everyone unhappy!"
"Brother Lian, does the old lady not like the eldest master, and doesn't want to see the eldest family grow?"
Now that Lian Er has behaved like this, Jia Cong did not forget to fan the flames: "The eldest master is just introducing me to the nobles. Whether I can grasp it and successfully enter the top elite circles in the capital depends on my future performance."
!”
Ignoring Lian Er's suddenly ugly and angry look, he continued to speak in a leisurely voice: "I don't even want to give you such a chance, and I don't know what's going on. It seems that I have to be more careful in the house in the future.
Don’t run into the old lady’s hands and you’ll be in trouble…”
