Jia Huan came to the pier and picked up Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng who were returning to the capital with the boat.

The filial piety period of the two of them has ended, and now they return to Beijing to report their duties.

As one of the only two male members of the Jia family in the capital, Jia Huan received a notice from Jinling early in the morning to help clean out the Jia family's residence and came to pick him up that day.

Rongguo Mansion was built by imperial edict, and it has been taken back by the Ministry of Households after being copied.

Fortunately, there were several houses and Zhuangzi in Jiamu's dowry, which were distributed to her son and grandson.

The big house was divided into a courtyard with three entrances and a courtyard with two entrances in central Beijing.

Before Jia Amnesty left Beijing, he divided the homes between Jia Lian and Jia Cong, and assigned the third courtyard to Jia Lian, and the second courtyard to Jia Cong.

In addition, Jia Lian was allocated a two-acre village outside the city, while Jia Cong was allocated a small village of less than three hundred acres.

Jia Cong was also satisfied, he did not develop the extravagance and waste of the Rongguo Mansion, and Zhuangzi's annual output was enough for him to live a relaxed life alone.

Even if you marry a wife and have children in the future, as long as you make reasonable arrangements, your life will not be difficult.

What's more, when he enters the officialdom after the scientific examination, his life will only be better.

He wouldn't dream of something that belonged to his first brother.

Good men don't eat separate meals.

Seeing Jia Huan, Jia Lian stepped forward with a smile, "Brother Huan, please come and pick us up."

Jia Lian has already discovered that the cousin in the next room is not easy.

Before the emperor ordered the Rongguo Mansion to be raided, he actually left the Rongguo Mansion with the people around him, which shows that he already knew the news that the Rongguo Mansion would be raided.

Afterwards, the man from the Rongguo Mansion was arrested and put in prison, but he was left out, and the people from the government had no intention of arresting Jia Huan at all.

What does this mean?
It shows that there is someone behind Jia Huan, and it is likely to be a big shot in the court.

With that person supporting Jia Huan, Jia Huan will be well-informed and will not be implicated by the Rongguo Mansion.

However, he couldn't think of who was behind Jia Huan.

But no matter what, he understood that Jia Huan was not simple at all, he was not the concubine of the Rongguo Mansion who was looked down upon by others, this person was very good at disguising, maybe they didn't know what was so good about him.

That being the case, Jia Huan can no longer be offended, it is best to win him over and befriend him.

After all, they are all a family, and it is more reliable to win over brothers who are blood relatives as helpers than to win over other people.

Jia Huan smiled and said, "Second brother Lian and second sister-in-law Lian have worked hard all the way, so hurry home."

He waved his hand, and several carriages drove to the front.

Jia Huan: "I rented a few carriages, which are relatively clean. I wronged Lian's second brother and Lian's second sister-in-law."

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "There is nothing to be wronged. Thanks to your thoughtfulness, you hired so many carriages. Otherwise, we don't know how to transport the salute back."

Wang Xifeng got off the boat with her daughter and son in her arms.

Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Huan, smiled before saying anything, and greeted Jia Huan heartily: "Brother Huan, long time no see, you are getting better and better. You look much more handsome than your second brother Lian."

Jia Huan quickly saluted Wang Xifeng, and said with a smile, "Second Lian's sister-in-law is still as young and beautiful as before. Second brother Lian is so lucky to be able to marry a sister-in-law."

Wang Xifeng felt very comfortable being flattered by Jia Huan, and smiled even more heartily, and her impression of Jia Huan suddenly improved a lot.

While pulling her daughter to greet Jia Huan, she thought to herself that Jia Huan was indeed as Jia Lian said, it was not a simple one.

It seems that I really underestimated this guy before.

Fortunately, there is still time now, and we will have to win him over in the future.

Jia Huan was greeted by four nephews and nieces.

Jia Lian now has two sons and two daughters. Both sons and a daughter were born to Wang Xifeng, and the other daughter was born to his concubine.

Although Jia Lian has changed his ways and returned to respecting his wife, he is an ancient man after all, and it is impossible for him and Wang Xifeng to live as a couple for the rest of their lives.

Ping'er is married to someone else, and Xiaohong is married to Jia Yun. It is impossible for Wang Xifeng to give Jia Lian the maids around her as concubines.

Jia Lian's current concubine is the concubine of a businessman who flatters him, and she is given to Jia Huan as a concubine.

After all, she was a good concubine, not a lowly concubine who was born as a maid.

Status is not too low.

When this little concubine first entered the house, she also wanted to compete for favor with Jia Lian, and was at odds with Wang Xifeng, the mistress of the house, but after she was dealt with by Wang Xifeng, she saw Wang Xifeng's methods and Wang Xifeng's position in Jia Huan's heart. To be honest, I dare not be a demon again.

Later, the concubine became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, but her body was injured, and she was unable to have another child in the future, so she was completely honest.

Wang Xifeng was satisfied, and didn't think about beating the dog in the water. It's okay for the concubines, mother and daughter, and they will never skip what is due to them.

This made the concubine feel grateful to Wang Xifeng instead, and she was more attentive to her than to Jia Lian.

This made Wang Xifeng dumbfounded.

When the group returned to Jia Lian's residence, Qian Huai greeted them at the door with a few servants.

Jia Lian recognized Qian Huai, and said to Jia Huan, "This is the boy who has been following you?!"

Jia Huan said with a smile: "Qian Huai is no longer a servant. He is now a shopkeeper in a shop. It is only because there are not enough people that he came to help."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "So that's the case, then I would like to thank the shopkeeper Qian. I will ask Lian's second grandma to wrap up a generous thank you gift for you later."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Leave it to me, and you will never treat Master Qian badly."

Qian Huai hurriedly said he did not dare.

When a group of people entered the house, Qian Huai had asked his servants to prepare hot water and food, and Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng could wash and change clothes immediately.

Jia Huan didn't stay too long, and left Jia Lian's mansion after agreeing to come back tomorrow.

The next day, Jia Huan came to the door and told Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng about their separation.

In fact, there is nothing to say. The Jia family has been keeping their filial piety since they returned to Jinling, and nothing happened.

Wang Xifeng brought clothes made by Aunt Zhao for Jia Huan.

Without Mrs. Wang's pressure on her head, Aunt Zhao's life is very good.

The only worry is that I miss my son, so I made a lot of clothes and shoes for him.

Aunt Zhao's needlework is very good. When she was young, her needlework was as good as Qingwen's.

Even after becoming an aunt, I seldom sew anymore, and my craftsmanship has recovered a bit, but after practicing, it has recovered by [-]% to [-]%.

Jia Huan thanked Wang Xifeng and told about Jia Cong's entering the academy to study.

"The third brother Cong's homework is very good. Uncle Lin said that he will be able to quit next year, at least he can pass the examination of scholar."

Jia Lian was very happy to hear that, after all, he was his own brother.

If Jia Cong can really pass the scientific examination and become an official by himself, and watch and help each other in the court with his brothers, that will be a great help.

Unexpectedly, Jia Cong, who is more transparent than Jia Huan, turned out to be a good student.
