Chapter 2843 The Xue Family Came to Beijing and Angrily Criticized Madam Wang

"Let's eat now!"

Jia Chang turned to look at Xiao Ruyi who looked aggrieved, said in a dumbfounded voice, stood up, and walked out with Lin Ruhai.

The clouds on Xiao Ruyi's face suddenly turned sunny, and a bright smile appeared on her round little face. She jumped up and down behind Jia Chang, her eyes sparkling, and there was a faint sparkle flowing out of the corner of her mouth, looking like a greedy child. Cat look.

Jia Chang, Lin Ruhai and Xiao Ruyi, the three of them had lunch. Xiao Ruyi collapsed on the seat, holding her round belly in her two little hands, humming. She was so greedy that she finally let Jia Chang and Lin Ruhai It was extremely funny to watch.

"Yu'er, it would be great if this girl was lively!"

Lin Ruhai thought about his daughter Lin Daiyu, who had been very sensible since she was a child and never wanted to cause trouble to herself, which made people feel distressed. If she could be as lively, heartless and without any worries as this girl, then as a father, he There is no need to worry.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai's heart moved slightly. Xiao Ruyi was able to be carefree because of Jia Chang's tolerance. If her daughter and Jia Chang got married, would she be able to be so lively and carefree in the future?

Lin Ruhai's sudden idea was like a weed, growing crazily. It took a lot of willpower to restrain it. After dinner, he and Jia Chang talked about some romance before leaving.

Lin Ruhai was sitting in the sedan, with a clear face full of admiration. It was already known to everyone that Jia Chang was outstanding in martial arts, but he didn't expect that Jia Chang actually read the whole book, was rich in knowledge, and was far more talented than Jia Baoyu. , the depth of knowledge puts even Lin Ruhai to shame.

"Yu'er is not young anymore, so it's time to choose someone. Now it seems that Jia Chang is a good candidate, but I don't know what his impression of Yu'er is, and what does Yu'er think?"

Since the death of his wife, Lin Ruhai has had several concubines around him, but he has not planned to straighten them out. He can only be both father and mother, worrying about his daughter's marriage and future.

"Well, this matter can't be rushed. We still need to carefully observe Yu'er's thoughts. If she doesn't like it, no matter how good Jia Chang is, I can't force it!"

Lin Ruhai sighed. He now only had Lin Daiyu as an only daughter, so he naturally did not want to force Lin Daiyu, he only wanted her to be happy and contented. Of course, if Lin Daiyu falls in love with Jia Baoyu, Lin Ruhai will never agree. He is not a responsible person, has a cowardly temperament, is a playboy, and is looked down upon by others.

A few days later, Mrs. Wang received a letter. Her nephew, Xue Pan, relied on his wealth and power to kill someone, and was now being tried in the Yingtianfu case. It was the prince who came forward to help resolve the matter.

At this time, Wang Ziteng had been promoted to the governor of nine provinces and was ordered to go out of the capital to inspect the borders. Now the governor of the Beijing camp fell on Jia Chang, which made Jia Chang's power even further.

Although the governor of the nine provinces has a higher rank than the Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp, he does not have military power in his hands. He is just like an imperial envoy. He needs to make other arrangements when he is waiting for his return to the capital.

Because of this matter, the Xue family could no longer stay in Jinling, so Aunt Xue wanted to bring her son and daughter to Shenjing City, so she sent someone to tell Mrs. Wang that she wanted to defect to Rongguo Mansion so that she could be taken care of.

Mrs. Wang was naturally ecstatic, looking forward to the arrival of her sister and her family day and night. During this time, there was a bit of a smile on her dull face, which made people feel strange.

Jia is true, white jade is the hall gold and horse. After Ning Guo and Rong Guo, the Jia family was divided into twenty families. In addition to Ning Rong, who lived in Shenjing with eight families, there were also twelve families living in Jinling.

Epang Palace, three hundred miles away, cannot accommodate a person of Jinling. After Baolinghou Shangshu ordered Shi Gong, the house was divided into eighteen rooms. There were ten rooms in Shenjing City and eight rooms in Jinling's original residence.

There was a shortage of white jade beds in the East China Sea, so the Dragon King came to invite the King of Jinling. After the Du Taiwei took control of the county Bo Wang Gong, there were twelve houses, two of which were in Shenjing City, and the rest were in Jinling.

In good years there is heavy snow, and pearls are like earth and gold are like iron. After Ziwei passed away to Duke Xue, the Xue family now controls the government's money and bank merchants. They are divided into eight directions and all live in Jinling.

The four major families can be said to be the overlords in Jinling, and they can almost run sideways. The people in the four major families are also very arrogant, causing countless troubles, and doing many ridiculous things. This is why the last four major families in the original work are... One of the reasons why the family fell apart.

Now Xue Pan beat someone to death in Jinling. Although the prince vacated his position and the big issue was reduced to a trivial matter, it was not easy to continue to stay in Jinling after all. In addition, the Xue family's business is now difficult to do and their income has dropped sharply. , Aunt Xue was forced by her clansmen to hand over her qualifications as an imperial merchant. Aunt Xue was worried about internal and external troubles, so she thought of going to Shenjing City.

Aunt Xue's family came to Shenjing and headed straight for Rongguo Mansion. Mrs. Wang had already received the letter and arranged for someone to wait outside the gate.

"Madam, my concubine and her brother and sister are going to Beijing with their family. They are getting off the car outside the door!"

A woman hurriedly entered the Hall of Rongxi and reported to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, and she quickly took her daughter-in-law Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, Tan Chun and others out of the room to greet her. The noise was loud and not lively.

Jia Chang had a rest that day, and was notified by Jia Zheng to return to Rongguo Mansion. He happened to bump into Aunt Xue and his family getting out of the car.

Jia Chang frowned slightly and looked at a few people. Aunt Xue is now a woman in her thirties. She has a beautiful and graceful appearance, somewhat similar to Mrs. Wang, but her face is full of smiles, which is different from that dead fish face. Jia Chang The identity of this family was immediately guessed.

Jia Chang's eyes moved slightly and looked at the man with a round head and a big head. His face was a bit domineering and arrogant, his eyes were small, and there was a bit of clear stupidity. Needless to say, he was Xue Pan.

Jia Chang shook his head slightly. Xue Pan is a fool. He is good at eating, drinking and visiting brothels. He knows nothing about other things, so he is just a idiot. Fortunately, he is very filial to his mother and loves his sister. He is not worthless, at least better than Jia Baoyu. The one who is not responsible is better.

Jia Chang's eyes moved again and looked at the girl next to Xue Pan. She had a dark and shiny Zhuan'er on her head. She wore a honey-colored cotton jacket, a rose and purple gold and silver rat jacket, and an onion-yellow silk cotton skirt, all of which were new. It's old and doesn't look luxurious. Her lips are red without any spots, her eyebrows are green without paint, her face is like a silver basin, and her eyes are like apricots. Rare words and few words are said to hide stupidity; calm and content at all times, self-conscious and clumsy.

Jia Chang secretly nodded. Sure enough, in the Red Mansion, daughters are better than men. Yin is strong and yang is weak. Xue Baochai is naturally intelligent, beautiful, decent in character, elegant in behavior, and knowledgeable. She is worthy of being called a strange woman along with Lin Daiyu.

Jia Chang was wearing a cotton robe, but his identity could not be identified. When Xue Pan saw him looking at his family, he became more energetic, his face drooped, he looked at Jia Chang gloomily, and cursed.

"What are you looking at? Are you looking for a fight?!"

When Jia Chang heard this, he frowned and looked away. He was indeed a little rude, and he didn't want to argue with Xue Pan. He stepped forward and went straight to the east corner gate, intending to enter Rongguo Mansion.

Xue Pan was used to being arrogant in Jinling and had never been ignored. When he saw Jia Chang ignoring him, he immediately became furious. He stepped forward and clenched his fists, intending to teach Jia Chang a lesson.

Aunt Xue knew very well that there were crouching tigers and hidden dragons in Shenjing City and did not dare to cause trouble, so she quickly shouted.

"Pan'er, don't be presumptuous, be honest!"

Although Xue Pan had a thousand faults, he was very good to his family and did not dare to go against his mother's words. He stopped angrily, looked at Jia Chang's back, and said harsh words.

"I'll let you go for now. If we were in Jinling, I would have beaten you to the point where you would kneel down and beg for mercy!"

When Jia Chang heard this, he stopped and looked back at the fierce Xue Pan, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised and a sneer.

"But this is Kyoto, and the land is full of powerful people. If you are still as unruly as you were in Jinling and start a life-threatening lawsuit, even your uncle can't save you. You will have to go to the vegetable market!"

As soon as Jia Chang said these words, the three people of the Xue family were shocked. Aunt Xue looked at the handsome young man in shock. She didn't expect that he knew everything about Xue Pan's beating to death. She couldn't help but feel horrified and apologized quickly.

"This young master, Pan'er is young and ignorant, and has offended you. Please forgive me!"

Xue Pan was also shocked and did not dare to say anything. After all, he was involved in a lawsuit over his life. If someone made a fuss over this matter, he would probably be left with nothing to eat.

Xue Baochai was also frightened. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in Shenjing City, his brother would cause trouble again. If he was reported, it would cause trouble again and it would not be easy to settle.

Jia Chang chuckled lightly when he heard this, but didn't say much. Although Xue Pan caused a life-threatening lawsuit, Feng Yuan, who was beaten to death, was not a good person. Moreover, Xue Pan did not take action himself. He was just angry for a moment and said. In a fight to the death, Diao Nu from a wealthy family is the most lawless. He pretends to be a tiger and is arrogant and domineering all day long. Now Diao Nu really kills him. He is not afraid at all. Anyway, if something goes wrong, Xue Pan will take care of it and it has nothing to do with them.

In fact, the Xue family was also frightened and confused. It was a slave who beat people to death. Although it was because of Xue Pan's shouting, as long as the slave was handed over, Xue Pan would only get a few slaps and a few years in jail. The crime was not serious. to death.

Jia Chang took another step and was about to enter the east corner gate. At this time, a group of people came towards him, including Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, Mrs. Wang, Tan Chun and others. Behind them, there was a large group of maids and women. It was such a big formation.

Mrs. Wang did not notice Jia Chang and directly ordered the doorman to open the main door to welcome Aunt Xue and her family into the house.

Seeing this, Jia Chang had to come forward. The main entrance of Rongguo Mansion could not be opened at will. He only walked through the main entrance once when he returned to Rongguo Mansion after becoming a marquis. Take the east corner gate.

"Wait a minute, madam!"

Jia Chang bowed and saluted. Mrs. Wang was his nominal aunt, and he still needed to maintain superficial respect, so he stopped Mrs. Wang's move.

Only then did Mrs. Wang notice Jia Chang on the side, her brows slightly furrowed, a trace of unhappiness in her eyes, the beads in her hand turned faster, and she said with a dull expression.

"Marquis Wu'an stopped me, what do you mean?"

Mrs. Wang deliberately called Jia Chang's title, showing an extremely distant attitude and a yin and yang look.

"The gates of Rongguo Mansion will only be opened during various grand weddings and funerals, or when visiting high-ranking people."

"Although Aunt Xue's family is an imperial merchant, they still can't open the front door. Madam, please think again!"

When Mrs. Wang heard this, her eyebrows stood up, and she no longer looked dull. Her eyes flashed with anger, and she yelled loudly.

"It's not your turn as a bastard to dictate matters in Rongguo Mansion!"

When Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, and Tan Chun saw the tense situation between the two of them, they were so frightened that they dared not breathe. They stared at Jia Chang nervously, hoping not to cause a big mess.

When Jia Chang heard this, his face turned cold. He gave Mrs. Wang face and called her "Madam". If he didn't give Mrs. Wang face, she was nothing in front of him. He really thought that he was still a child and needed to live a cautious life.

"Although it is not my turn as a bastard to make decisions in Rongguo Mansion, the rules of the Jia family cannot be lost. You are just a woman in the back house, how can you be in charge of the front yard? The main gate is open and there are rules. As a master of the Jia family, I naturally have to take care of it!"

Jia Chang spoke bluntly and confronted each other. His face was cold and sharp, and he stared at Mrs. Wang, not giving in.

Mrs. Wang was forced to take a step back by Jia Chang's sharpness, and then she reacted. She was even more angry, with resentment in her eyes, her face was ashen, and she said angrily.

"You are so presumptuous, this is how you talk to your stepmother. You have grown wings and dared to offend your superiors. Aren't you afraid that I will go to the government office to sue you for disobedience and unfilial piety?"

Daqian ruled the world with filial piety, and filial piety was the biggest reliance of Mrs. Wang, who wanted to use this to suppress Jia Chang.

Jia Chang had a strong character and was the most domineering. Hearing this, he sneered and said without caring at all.

"My mother died a long time ago. Madam, if I acknowledge you, you are my mother. If I don't acknowledge you, what are you!"

"If you want to use filial piety to pressure me, you can try to see if Shuntian Prefecture dares to take this case?!"

Jia Chang was fearless. He was a young marquis. Even if he was a little arrogant, Emperor Yuankang would not take it to heart. Instead, he would be more assured. Naturally, he was not afraid of Madam Wang accusing him of disobedience and unfilial piety.

"Today, the main gate of Rongguo Mansion cannot be opened!"

Jia Chang was decisive and resolute. He stared at Madam Wang with a terrifying light and a murderous aura on his body, which was extremely terrifying.

Although Madam Wang was a little frightened, she was more angry. She was the head of Rongguo Mansion. How could she show weakness in front of everyone? She said angrily.

"What if I want to open the door today?"

Madam Wang's voice was extremely cold, like the voice of a devil in hell, making Li Wan, Tanchun and others behind her silent, not daring to breathe, for fear of being implicated.

Jia Chang sneered upon hearing this, and took another step forward, looking down at Madam Wang, and said in an extremely cold manner.

"Madam, you can try!"

"If the main gate is open today, I will call a meeting of the clan members and propose to divorce you. The Jia family will not tolerate a woman like you!"

"You dare?!"

Madam Wang shouted, her face twisted, Jia Chang's words were like a sword that pierced Madam Wang's soft spot.

"You are just a bastard in the mansion. Do you think you are the head of the clan and can call the clan members to divorce me?!"

The head of the Jia family is Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion. If Jia Chang calls the clan members, he naturally needs his consent.

"I am not the head of the clan, but I am the pillar of the clan after all. I am the Marquis of Wu'an. If the clan members want to live a stable life, they need the protection of me, the Marquis. If I propose to divorce you, even Brother Jia Zhen will not dare to object!"

Jia Chang had a smile on his face, but it was extremely cold, making people feel like they were falling into an ice cave, feeling cold from the inside out, and couldn't help shivering.

Madam Wang was struck by lightning. She knew that what Jia Chang said was true. Now that the Jia family is declining, Jia Chang is the person with the highest title in the clan. He is powerful and is the face of the Jia family. If it really gets out of hand, the Jia family would rather divorce Madam Wang than let her sue Jia Chang for disobedience and unfilial piety.

Even Jia Zheng would most likely keep Jia Chang as his son instead of the person next to him. One is a woman in the back house, and the other is the pillar of the Jia family. Jia Zheng and the clan members still know which is more important.

Mrs. Wang froze in place, her gloomy eyes seemed to want to eat Jia Chang, and she dared not insist on opening the front door.

Aunt Xue outside heard the quarrel behind the door, and seeing her sister in a stalemate, she hurriedly led her two children in from the east corner door to smooth things over.

"Sister, Marquis, why are you quarreling? Our family came here to seek refuge, why do we need to open the front door?!"

"This must be Brother Chang from the mansion, he is indeed in high spirits and a handsome man. Pan'er, Baochai, why don't you meet your aunt and brothers and sisters."

Xue Pan stared blankly at the majestic and powerful Jia Chang. He didn't expect that this was the famous Wu'an Marquis. This is his idol. When he was young, he was appointed as a general and a marquis. Which man in the world would not admire him?

Xue Baochai's expression also moved slightly, staring at Jia Chang in a daze. He had a handsome face and a noble temperament. Although he was sharp, he was not rough. Instead, he was full of bookish air, elegant and handsome, like a romantic talent.

Aunt Xue was a little surprised to see no movement behind her. She looked back and woke up Xue Baochai. Her pretty face was slightly red. She bowed and called softly.

"Hello, aunt, hello, sisters-in-law, sisters!"

"Hello, Lord!"

Although Jia Chang was younger than Xue Baochai, Xue Baochai did not dare to call him brother. After all, she was of high status. She called him Lord very respectfully.

Xue Pan also greeted him and looked at Jia Chang with burning eyes. He was like a little fanboy. He completely forgot the conflict with Jia Chang just now. He was a big-hearted person and not a petty person.

Jia Chang nodded, and said lightly, "Don't hit a smiling person."

"You are so polite. Please forgive me for any offense today, Aunt Xue!"

"My Lord, what are you talking about? We are all family, why should we be so polite!"

Aunt Xue smiled brightly, with a bit of restraint and respect. As expected of a business woman, she is very good at dealing with people, knows how to ease the atmosphere and grasp the right measure.

Jia Chang did not want to get entangled with Madam Wang, so he nodded to Aunt Xue's family and said goodbye.

"The master has something else to talk to me about, so I'll go ahead and not disturb Aunt Xue and Madam's long-awaited reunion!"

Jia Chang took a step and hurried away, leaving behind people with complicated expressions. The atmosphere was extremely awkward and not as lively as before. Even Wang Xifeng, who was good at warming up the atmosphere, did not dare to say anything about this matter, fearing that she would offend Madam Wang.

Li Wan had a blank expression on her face, but there were also waves in the depths of her eyes. It was the first time she saw the majesty and domineering of the Marquis of Wu'an. She secretly decided in her heart that she must train her son Jia Lan well and let him pass the imperial examination, so that he would not have to live by others' eyes.

Tanchun's eyes flashed brightly, and her eyebrows were slightly raised, revealing envy.

"A man should be like this! Fourth Brother Chang is indeed different from Second Brother Bao. He is heroic and domineering, and he is not something that women in the back house can control!"
