Chapter 21: So Bright
Today, the main gate of Ningguo is wide open, from the main gate to the Yimen, then to the hall, warm pavilion, inner hall, inner three gates, inner yimen and inner doors to the main hall, all the main gates are wide open.
There was a bright red color under the steps on both sides, and it was still noon, just like two golden dragons.
In previous years, the serious masters of the Jia family's Rongning Mansions have now entered the palace to congratulate.
Escorted by Jia Lian, Jia Rong and others.
Although there is a Master Jing Da in the mansion, Master Jing Da is not in charge of things and is determined to be a god and ignores the world.
Therefore, many Jia clans rarely come here to be "masters", so they let go of Gaole.
The opportunity is rare, so in addition to the nearby branches of Rongning and Ning Mansions, the children of other houses are also willing to come and enjoy the show and have a good meal.
However, this year, when Jia Cong and Jia Huan walked to the main gate of Ningguo, they saw a group of young men talking around a man dressed in a housekeeper.
Both of them recognized this person. They were Lai Sheng, the second son of Lai Ma, who was the most decent old lady in the Jia family, who accompanied Lai Ma, and also known as Lai Er.
His brother Lai Da was the steward of Rong Mansion, while Lai Sheng was the steward of Ning Mansion.
This shows how powerful the Lai family is in the Jia family.
The arrival of Jia Cong and Jia Huan also attracted everyone's attention.
On the large door stand, a group of Jia family masters stood. Whether they are rich or poor on weekdays, they all changed into the most decent clothes today.
At this moment, they all looked like noble men.
They looked at the two people walking towards Congrong Mansion, and their eyes were all interesting.
Especially many people, their eyes fell on Jia Cong's obviously dissatisfied and grayish-yellow clothes.
There were a few more laughing out loud on the spot.
Because of Lai Sheng, Jia Huan did not dare to anal with those people, but just grimaced at them, hummed, then went up to the platform and stood aside.
Jia Cong didn't take it seriously, and it was normal to hold on to the top and step on the bottom.
His attention was vaguely placed on Lai Sheng.
Jia Cong had met Lai Da, a very steady and smart old housekeeper.
He is about the same age as Jia She, but he acts in a proper manner and is very concise.
No matter what the inside is, at least on the surface, people cannot find any fault.
However, this Lai Sheng...
The arrogance on his body was absolutely impossible to see in Lai Da.
And in his eyes, he could not see himself and looked down upon him.
Jia Cong has a preliminary understanding of this person's personality...
"Grandpa Lai, what's wrong this year? Don't let us go in and play? Although ancestral worship in the ancestral temple is a matter of the two governments, we are still the same ancestor!"
After everyone swept over Jia Cong at will, one of them said to Lai Sheng with a smile on his face.
Jia Cong also recognized this person as a generation of "英" in the sixth house in the north alley, named Jia Chang.
Those who were like Jia Ling and Jia Qin also started to make excuses.
However, although they were making excuses, they all called "Grandpa Lai".
On the New Year Festival again, Lai Sheng smiled and dragged his voice, "I can't do anything to you. Could it be that I won't let you go in and eat and drink?"
Jia Qin smiled and said, "Grandpa Lai, why don't you let us in? You don't give us a sure letter. You have been standing there for a long time!"
Lai Sheng glanced at Jia Qin, snorted in his nose, and said, "What are you still in the face to mention an ancestor? Have you forgotten what day tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow's New Year! Isn't this the last day of the Year of the Rabbit? Tomorrow's Year of the Dragon!"
"Yes, it's the first day of the Lunar New Year tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow, Grandpa Lai, Happy New Year!"
"Yes, you can do it during the New Year, let's go in!"
Another noisy laughter sounded, but Lai Sheng sneered and said, "It's a good thing that's at home. If outsiders know about it, wouldn't you laugh at you forgot your ancestors?
Everyone forgot that tomorrow will be the first day of the first lunar month, the second old man’s birthday, which will be his century-old life!
Even the palace and the Ministry of Rites remember that there were rewards, but you forgot..."
When everyone heard this, they were quiet at first, and then looked at each other, and then they looked disapproving.
The second old master mentioned by Lai Sheng is Jia Yuan, the first Duke of Rong.
Fame is indeed famous, and it is indeed the ancestor of everyone.
But my ancestors were no longer able to do so, and they had been dead for decades, and no one had seen them at all.
Where can I go to the mansion to watch a show and have fun and enjoy drinking?
Although their surname is Jia, except for the Rongning and Ning prefectures, the rest of the prefectures are also average. Even during the Chinese New Year, it is not much better to eat.
It’s different in Ningguo Mansion.
Jia Ling smiled apologized and said, "Oh, it's really our fault. We even forgot about this!
Grandpa Lai is still you are loyal and blamed on Grandpa Jing and Uncle Zhen to believe you the most.
But if that's the case, you should let us in...
Especially me, I am a serious branch of Rongguo, and I will go to the ancestral temple to kowtow to my ancestors later!
As for the rewards from the palace and the Ministry of Rites, Grandpa Zhen and the others received it."
Others, such as Jia Qing and others, started to clamor again.
Lai Sheng snorted again and said, "Not only the palace and the Ministry of Rites, there are many princes and princes and marquises' mansions. Today, the children of the clan will be sent to worship the great master incense and birthday.
In addition, the old Duke of the Holy Duke of the Confucius Family in Shandong is now meeting in the Shenjing Bi.
At that time, the state was first established, and because of the crime of colluding with the Tartars by Yansheng Gong's Mansion, all the legitimate veins were razed.
It was our second old master who found Mr. Kong's father in the vein and supported him to become the previous generation of Yan Shenggong.
Since then, the two families have been in a relationship for almost a hundred years, and they are truly a family of friendship!
With such a great kindness, it is now the 100th birthday of the second old master. Do you think the old king will not come?
If there is such a big deal at home, do you think I can let you in? Is it a mess?"
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, but they couldn't figure it out.
Because it was Jia Mansion's long branch, Jia Rui, who had been standing aside, said incrediblely: "Uncle Lai, why is there no such a big noise before?"
Everyone nodded and agreed. Logically, such a big happy event should have been arranged two months ago.
Not to mention the movement of the whole family, it is not much different.
Even the hometown of Jinling should be sent to send people, how could it be that sudden attack?
A single Yan Shenggong is enough to make the whole family shine.
Lai Sheng smiled and said unpredictably: "What do you know? Can we decide such a big noise?
It was the emperor in the palace who remembered that tomorrow will be the centenary of our old man, and it will be announced this morning to make a big decision.
Not long after the decree came down, it was very busy now."
Jia Changqi said: "Grandpa Lai, you're so busy inside. You're here..."
Lai Sheng twitched his lips and said, "The brother of Xifu is in charge. This is what the old lady came back to pass on the message.
I'm going to prepare to welcome guests here...
By the way, I heard that Mr. Kong likes to take the coursework of young children in the school clan the most.
The old Duke and the Jia family did not look at each other by different surnames, especially with the second master of the Western Palace.
After the ancestor worship is over, I may not be able to give you some advice. If he gets to the eye, he will become famous all over the world!
You are all handsome children of the clan. Don’t be short of breath then!
If the decency of the men is lost, the consequences will be remarkable.
I just heard that my son, the second master of Xifu Bao, is studying now."
"My God! How can I still have time now?"
Jia Ling, who had just claimed to be proud of the country's smugness, screamed.
Jia Rui smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Brother Ling, you are a neighbor of Rongguo, who would not give you face?"
After laughing, he said to Lai Sheng again: "Uncle Lai, since the mansion is busy, I will come to greet you tomorrow and say goodbye!"
After saying that, he hurriedly left with a group of young men and brothers from the Jia family with a slutty expression.
School exam?
What a joke!!
It’s almost the same for eating, drinking, gamblers, and gambling in school...
A group of people came in a lively manner, and returned in a relentless manner.
Some even looked for it, should we go out of the city to avoid the limelight and not be called to build rice seedlings?
In the chaos, no one saw Jia Cong, who was standing in the corner with his head down, his eyes were as bright as this moment!
