The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 226 Iconic events

Sure enough, the old ancestor asked.

"What are you muttering about?"

"I just thought, the old ancestor is really partial, and only the grandson Ming is in his heart. As for the life and death of my grandson and daughter-in-law, she doesn't care. It is said that the old ancestor loves Baoyu the most. Now it seems that the pain As for brother Min, it hurts a lot more than Baoyu."

"You shabbily settled down, I'm the one who loves brother Min, my grandson, who else will I love if I don't love him? Alright, how is the banquet going?"

"It's all ready, and I'm about to invite everyone to the table."

"Let's go, everyone, sit down, and the troupe over there will start singing too. Watch the show and drink at the same time. Let's have fun tonight!"

This Wang Xifeng, I have to admire, the flattering skills are indeed top-notch, and by the way, I praised the old lady.

Jia Min won Tanhua, which is of great significance in the history of Jia's mansion.

The ancestors of the Jia family started their business by force and won the position of Duke.Since then, the world has been peaceful, and it is basically no longer possible to win more fame through military exploits.

In the second and third generations of a noble family, if the status of the family cannot be supported by civil servants, it will basically fall into inevitable decline. one of the sources.

Among the several generations in Jia's mansion, only Jia Jing was born as a Jinshi, and Jia Zhu was born as a Juren after that.

However, Jia Jing's Jinshi ranking is not high. Although he is also a Jinshi, he is very inconspicuous among the many Jinshi.

Although Jia Min's high school Tanhua is a Wu Jinshi, he is not as highly regarded as a Liberal Arts Jinshi, but the ranking of Tanhua is enough to make up for this shortcoming.

What's more, Jia Min's talent in poetry is enough to add to the icing on the cake for this Tanhua, and his reputation of being both civil and military is solid.

Because of Jia Min's exploration of flowers, the title of Jia's House of Poems and Books Hairpin Ying is worthy of the name.

It can be regarded as a symbolic event for the Jia family that Jia Min won the Tanhua prize.

This event marked the end of the declining trend of the Jia Mansion and a change in the situation of talent withering.At the same time, due to the success in business, the financial situation of Jia's mansion has also been fundamentally improved.

Of course, these are superficial phenomena.The deeper significance lies in the changes in the power structure of the Jia Mansion and the stability of the operating mechanism.

This new structure and mechanism has, to the greatest extent, changed the long-standing internal conflict in Jia's mansion, and brought Jia's mansion into a virtuous cycle.

For Jia Min, the gold content of this prospect is also very high.

First of all, this marks the complete stability of his status and authority in the Jia Mansion, allowing him to firmly grasp the right to speak in the Jia Mansion and control the future direction of the Jia Mansion.

Secondly, this is also a great benefit for his future military training.Wu Tanhua's status allows him to repel many disturbances.If there are questions like queue training and making quilts in the future, because of his status as a martial arts detective, if someone wants to say something, they should think twice before acting.

Wu Tanhua's status allowed Jia Min to step directly into the upper ranks of mid-level military officers, and issued a pass for him to enter the ranks of senior military officers in the future.

At the same time, this identity is also a talisman for him.From now on, he will belong to one of the officials.Even if others want to plot against him again, the costs and risks will increase exponentially, making the opponent fearful.

Xue Pan came back, bit the bullet and said hello to Jia Min, and then went to Baoyu's table.

People at this table include Jia Rong and Jia Huan, the children of various mansions.However, there is no one who lives in the barracks in the wild.

Jia Lian was originally the person at this table, but after drinking for a long time, he began to toast at each table.After the toast, he stayed on other tables and never came back.

If such a gathering had been held half a year ago, their table would definitely be the center of attention. Not to mention the children of the clan and even the guests, even some not-so-important elders would all want to say a few words .Not to mention those prestigious butlers.

But now they seem to be forgotten by many, almost a marginalized group.Even the housekeepers are just being polite and courteous.

Seeing people toast to Jia Min one after another, seeing Jia Lian, Jia Qiang, Jia Yun and even Qin Zhong becoming the focus of attention, they felt a certain sense of loss.

Although they didn't say who it was, they knew each other well.

On the surface, Jia Min is very beautiful at this time, but only he knows the pain in his heart at this time.

This pain does not come from elsewhere, but from Wang Xifeng.

As the person directly responsible for organizing the banquet, Wang Xifeng naturally had to take care of it everywhere.So you have to go in and out frequently.

Every time she goes in and out, she doesn't take a shortcut, but goes around and walks past Jia Min's table.While walking, sometimes I inevitably bump into Jia Min.

The tables are placed relatively densely, and it is normal to touch them.The problem is that she still has to touch it when she obviously can't touch it.When he put his hands on Jia Min's shoulders and back, he pinched him casually, which made Jia Min extremely annoyed and miserable, but he didn't dare to make a sound.There is still a little bit of Wu Tanhua's demeanor.

Finally, after nearly an hour, he excused himself from someone in the barracks waiting to congratulate him and went back to check on Ping'er's injury, so he said goodbye to Jiamu.

As for Jia Lian and the others, Jia Min told them that they don't need to go back to the barracks tonight, they go home separately, and they can just return early tomorrow morning.

Jia Min greeted the elders, and quickly escaped.

He had just walked not far from the mansion when he heard someone shouting from behind, it turned out that it was Qin Zhong who was chasing him.

"You're not there to have a good drink, what are you doing out there?"

"My sister said that she was afraid that it would be inconvenient for Chief Min to be alone on the road, so she asked me to go back with him."

Jia Min immediately felt a warm current rippling in his mind, and thought: After all, Keqing still cares about me, and even thought of such a thing.

"Since that's the case, let's go back together. If you want to drink, Yeduju has prepared it. You can drink as much as you want when you go back."

"That's the best."

As Qin Zhong walked, he thought to himself: Chief Min is brave and invincible, even the bandits from Wulong Mountain are no match for him, even if he walks alone, why should he be afraid?My ability is far behind that of Chief Min, but my sister asked me to take care of Chief Min, which is really strange.

Back at Yeduju, Fang Xiucai, Lin Dajiang and others had already started to drink.Seeing that Jia Min came back, he added more food and wine, and another round of climax was set off.

Dai Zhi was also very excited today, and drank two drinks with Jia Min.Everyone came to congratulate Jia Min, and the happy atmosphere was beyond words.

It's just that Ping'er was injured and was bedridden, Ning'er went to Zhili to start a training business, and Jiao Li went to other places to purchase high-quality thenardite. These people missed today's occasion, which made Jia Min feel a little regretful.

However, it was not easy for him to show it, and it spoiled everyone's interest, so he refrained from talking.

While eating wine, I saw Lichun wandering around the door.It seems to come in, but it doesn't seem to come in again.

"Qin Zhong, go and see if Li Chun is up to something?"

After Jia Min finished speaking, Qin Zhong was about to go.

"Don't worry about him, they were wandering there just now. I asked them what they wanted, and they said no. Maybe they were just wandering around."

Lin Dajiang said.

Upon hearing this, Jia Min understood that Princess Chang'an must have come to join in the fun.However, she didn't receive the invitation, and she couldn't bear the shame and asked to join, so she asked Li Chun to hang around here, waiting to invite them here.

Jia Mu couldn't help feeling a little funny.

If you want to have fun, come by yourself, who would have the nerve to drive you out?
Princess Chang'an's performance here is actually very good.For a princess like her who only knew how to mess around in the past, it is very rare to be able to abide by the rules here and survive the harsh training life.

A pampered princess can do this, compared to Baoyu, Jiahuan and the like, it is undoubtedly tens of millions of times stronger.

"Qingwen, go to Li An and the others, tell them that I'm back, and invite them to come here. I hope they will show me face and come here to have fun."

Qingwen promised to go.

She had a good relationship with Li An and the others, and she was very happy to invite them to come.It's just that fourth master said to ask Li An and the others to save him face, but she couldn't figure it out.

Fourth master called them here, obviously to give them great face, but now he said that they gave fourth master face, isn't it just the other way around?It can be seen that fourth master is drunk.

Princess Chang'an was very happy when she saw Qingwen coming to deliver the message.However, on the surface, you have to pretend to decline.Hearing that Qingwen said that fourth master asked them to show him face, she followed them without any hesitation.

She has a good relationship with Ping'er and Qingwen, and she knows Qingwen's bad temper.If Xindao pretended to decline again, Qingwen would take it seriously, and then there would be no way to go.

After entering the dining hall, Jia Min invited Princess Chang'an and Li Chengbin to sit at his table.After congratulating Jia Min, the two began to drink.

Seeing that Jia Min gave her enough face, Princess Chang'an became happy.

In view of your sensible face, I will forgive you.Since Father gave you a Tanhua, I won't ask Father to cut off your head in the future.

Jia Min knew the details of Li Chengbin.After getting along for a long time, Jia Min gradually respected this person.

It was not because of Li Chengbin's strength, but because of his studious spirit that moved Jia Min.

Li Chengbin studied all the training and teaching subjects very seriously.For their own requirements, it has reached the point of harshness.When encountering a problem that I don't understand, I always like to get to the bottom of it.

Because of his dual identities as Wu Tanhua and Wu Bangsan, and his former defense, Li Chengbin appears to be very knowledgeable on many issues.

Jia Min realized that Li Chengbin is the one who has the deepest understanding of his military training philosophy among all the current officers, and also the one who agrees with him the most.

Among all the current officers, no one can reach the height of Li Chengbin.

This person must be a great general in the future.
