79 079 Eating a feast

◎ Newborn! You are just greedy for her body.◎

The Mid-Autumn Festival Chrysanthemum Crab Feast held by Ningguo Mansion is scheduled to start at noon on August 15.

It is called a small gathering, but in fact the complete plan is that after lunch, we will watch a few plays in the garden, or have tea and chat, or take a nap in the guest room. In short, we can eat, play, relax and have fun until the evening.

Then we will go to Rongguo Mansion for dinner. After dinner, the whole family will accompany Jia's mother to watch the moon and eat moon cakes. I heard that there are other programs arranged, whether it is playing the flute, telling jokes, or listening to music. Anyway, after all this, the four members of the Lin family must stay overnight before returning to the Lin Mansion.

The main point is that since you are here, you must have fun before you leave.

In fact, from this process, the Ningguo Mansion and the Rongguo Mansion are quite warm, hospitable, and sincere.

However, they chose the Mid-Autumn Festival instead of any other day, which is hard to judge.

It's like forcing the Lin family to reunite with the Jia family... They are no longer a family.

The lunch was held in the Ningguo Mansion. The invitation clearly stated that the Rongguo Mansion was also invited. In addition, they specially sent a few respectable housekeepers to say hello. Therefore, the family only needed to go to the banquet with peace of mind. There was no need to go to the Rongguo Mansion to exchange pleasantries. They could just go directly to the Ningguo Mansion.

So on the day of the wedding, Mo Yu, Lin Ruhai, Jia Min, and Xiao Daiyu, a family of four, took two separate carriages and drove along the most prosperous street in the capital towards the outskirts of the city. In less than half an hour, they arrived at the territory of Ningrong Street.

As soon as they entered the gate of Ningguo Mansion, several neatly dressed stewards came forward to greet and lead the way, and took the four of them off the carriage. Immediately, two teams of people came forward to help them change sedan chairs and enter the mansion.

Mo Yu and Lin Ruhai were considered male guests, and the sedan chair they rode together turned at the flower hall in the outer courtyard and entered a very elegant flower hall in the outer courtyard to rest.

Xiao Daiyu and Jia Min were female guests. The mother and daughter sat in a sedan chair and passed the screen wall and went straight into the inner courtyard. Even if they were all family members, they had to pay attention to the separation of men and women. This was the rule of aristocratic families like the Duke's Mansion. It

was a bit embarrassing to say, but it had to be said that the Jia family followed the rules quite well in front of outsiders, especially considering the chaotic reputation of the Ningguo Mansion in the original novel. Today's seriousness made people look at them with some respect.

Mo Yu followed Lin Ruhai into the outer courtyard flower hall, which was specially used to entertain male guests. As soon as they entered the door, several people greeted them with smiles.

When Mo Yu looked closely, it was Jia Zhen who brought Jia Rong and several unfamiliar collateral descendants to greet them. Jia She and Jia Zheng also brought Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan to accompany them. There were more than ten people crowded together, plus the stewards and servants serving beside them. It was a huge group of people, and it was really lively.

Jia Zhen was the host of this banquet, so of course he was the first to greet them. Although Jia She and Jia Zheng were the elders of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, they were from the second house and Lin Ruhai's legitimate brother-in-law, so they just came to accompany the guests and followed Jia Zhen closely, which was in line with their status.

Because of the order of seniority and the distinction between the superior and the inferior, Jia Zhen, Jia She, and Jia Zheng were able to go together. Although Jia Rong was the eldest grandson of the Ningguo Mansion, he was ranked last in the order. This is the meaning of the comprehensive order of the eldest house, the second house, and the generation. Although

Jia Zhen was not a good person, he was the eldest son of a noble family and the patriarch of the Jia family. He was not bad at all. He smiled like a flower and spoke very nicely. He praised Lin Ruhai whenever he caught him.

Things like "Congratulations to Uncle Lin on his promotion" and "Uncle Lin's presence at my Mid-Autumn Festival chrysanthemum and crab feast really makes my humble home more glorious"...

Anyway, they just say whatever sounds nice. If you don't have any skills, it's easy to be flattered.

Lin Ruhai has certainly seen big scenes, so these small scenes are nothing to him.

Therefore, even if Jia Zhen flattered him until his saliva dried up and his face was broken by laughter, Lin Ruhai still calmly said a few polite words, while greeting everyone, his words and deeds revealed a kind of indifference and elegance, which made him different from these pretentious useless relatives.

Perhaps because of Lin Ruhai's temperament, Jia Zhen treated Lin Ruhai with more respect and courtesy, and even Jia She and Jia Zheng joined the army of flatterers...

It was quite awkward.

Mo Yu was bored and too lazy to socialize. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he stood beside Lin Ruhai, pretending to be a mascot, and dozed off quietly.

Last night, because he ate a lot of snacks that Lin Ruhai brought back from Yangzhou and Suzhou, he had some food stagnation at night and went to bed very late. Today, he was still a little sleepy, so he couldn't help but fell asleep in the carriage on the way to Ningguo Mansion.

Damn, I was sleeping well in the carriage just now, but I didn't expect to arrive so soon. The carriage was really comfortable to sleep in, and it really made people reluctant to leave.

But now I still have to stand here and listen to these boring social interactions, which is really too miserable.

Mo Yu silently complained in his heart, and immediately heard the buzzing of pleasantries above his head suddenly stop.

He thought he had fallen asleep again, and was thinking about whether he should wake up quickly or find an excuse to go somewhere to sleep, when suddenly Jia Zhen's enlarged face appeared in front of him.

Mo Yu was startled, but Jia Zhen smiled and said, "Hello, brother Mo, how are you recently? I heard that brother Mo went to the palace to work, I haven't seen him for a while, and he has grown taller."

Mo Yu was speechless. On the one hand, he responded to Jia Zhen's words in a casual manner, but in his heart he could no longer hold back and complained silently.

[Yes, he has grown taller! He has grown taller! The Third Prince has grown taller... but Master Zhen, you have become more greasy. How old are you this year? I wonder if you are thirty-five? You look almost fifty-five. You have really lived a life of wine and meat, right? Wine and sex are harmful to the body, you have been completely drained, right? You harmed a few maids yesterday?】

Before Mo Yu could finish his thought, he saw Jia Zhen's smile suddenly froze on his face, and then he started coughing violently as if he was choked.

Seeing his face turn from white to red, from red to blue, and from blue to purple, and he was about to die, Mo Yu was a little uneasy, and almost shouted for emergency treatment, but before he could say anything, someone rushed over to support Jia Zhen, and smiled and comforted him,

"Uncle Mo, don't worry, our old man has an old illness, it's okay, just take a rest." Huh

?

What did you call me?

What uncle?

Mo Yu was a little shocked, but when he looked up and saw who it was, he understood.

It turned out that this person was none other than Jia Rong.

The young man now looked more handsome and more like a handsome man than

the last time we met. Not only his mental state, but also his speech and behavior seemed much more mature and stable than the last time we met.

It was only half a year, how come he seemed like a different person?

[No, Rong'er, is it really okay for you to talk to your father like this? ]

[Why do I remember that Jia Zhen was a violent maniac, often impotent and furious, not only would he beat and scold you, but he would even let the servants spit in your face! ]

[Not very harmful, but extremely insulting. It's hard to imagine this person's mental state. ]

[So what happened to you? Are you numb from being beaten? Or are you preparing to turn evil? Mo Yu

was puzzled, but nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you, Brother Lao Rong."

I don't know what stimulated Jia Zhen again. She had stopped coughing, but in the blink of an eye, she coughed more violently, and felt that she was about to pass out.

Jia Rong's smile became more and more brilliant, and she said repeatedly, "Uncle Mo, you are too polite. Please be careful of the threshold. Please come over here and sit down."

As he spoke, he asked a few younger boys behind him to come over and sit with Mo Yu.

Behind the half-carved wooden lattice screen was a soft couch with some snacks and toys on it. It was obviously used to entertain younger guests.

Mo Yu said that this place was good, and sat on it immediately. It was indeed soft and very comfortable.

Mo Yu was very satisfied, so he was very grateful to Jia Rong. He couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart, but then he couldn't help but think of the miserable marriage life of this miserable child.

[This Rong brother looks good. That's right, his luck is not very good. He was reborn as Jia Zhen's son. It's a waste of such a person. ]

[That Jia Zhen can be said to be the best silver stick in the whole book. I won't talk about how he is in the usual days. I won't talk about the famous scandals about him in the original book. ]

[I won't talk about the two sisters of You's family, You Erjie and You Sanjie, this pair of beauties. She was originally the daughter of the previous husband brought by You's stepmother. It was already tragic for her to come to live with her stepdaughter as an orphan and a widow. As the son-in-law of a stepdaughter and the brother-in-law of the two sisters, you were able to do it. You are really a beast. 】

【Also, let's not talk about You Erjie. She was at least 14 or 15 years old at that time. Was her sister You Sanjie only 12 or 13 years old at that time? 】

【You didn't even let go of such a young girl. She was just a newborn! 】 【

Even if you say that everyone is playing like this now, then old lady You is not a good person. She deliberately created opportunities for you, made connections, and facilitated good things. But what about Qin Keqing? What can I say? }

【This is the wife of your son Jia Rong. Your own son, the wife who was married to you in a formal way, you are so scared that you can't do it! Simply worse than a newborn!】

Thinking of Jia Zhen, Mo Yu was filled with rage, and had no intention of dealing with this group of brats - these "guests" were still children themselves, how could they accompany him, it would be better to sleep. As

he thought about it, he almost fell asleep, and did not notice that when he was madly complaining just now, the group of adults next to him who were still "seriously chatting" and saying some boring things were going crazy.

Of course, Lin Ruhai was still very calm, at least on the surface.

Anyway, he had already experienced what Mo Yu was like when he was at home.

Not to mention that he was in the Jia Mansion where he had relatives, even in the palace, his own son would still make the same mistake of "pointing fingers" whenever he thought of it.

Even the Wansui Master couldn't stop him, let alone ordinary people like them.

So that's it.

However, to be honest, the family tradition of the Jia family is really rotten. Since their ancestors, the first Ning Guogong and Rong Guogong accompanied the first Wansui Master in the wars, they spent so much energy, bloodshed, and fought hard to win the title. It's only been a few generations, and it's gone.

Their Lin family has been marquis for five generations, and by the time of Moyu and Daiyu, it's the seventh generation, and they are not so miserable. I don't know how sad the two ancestors, Ning Guogong and Rong Guogong, would be to see their descendants have fallen into this state.

Thinking of the great achievements of the two old dukes, although Lin Ruhai sighed a little, after all, these unfilial descendants were not from their Lin family, and they had nothing to do with him, so he just sighed a little and that was it.

Unlike Lin Ruhai's indifference, Jia Zhen was really angry.

From the first time they met, the little kid from the Lin family began to belittle and ridicule him, as if they had some grudge against him - God knows that he has such a little hobby, even his father Jia Jing has never cared about him, such a little kid, and a relative of his aunt and mother's family who is a little crooked, what right do you have to say about him! What's wrong with him

liking to play with women? He

is not good at literature or martial arts, so what's wrong with being a good-for-nothing?

He didn't eat your rice.

Our master is willing to cultivate immortality and pass on the title to me. What does it have to do with you?

It's really like a dog biting a rat and meddling in other people's business.

Jia Zhen was so angry, but at the same time he was deeply afraid.

Because what the kid said was true.

The old lady from his wife You's family just sent a letter saying that she would come to the mansion to see the daughter, and also said that she would bring her two daughters. They came last month, but they didn't stay permanently.

He took a look at the two wives and sisters at that time. They were really beautiful.

But the age didn't match.

The elder sister You Erjie was only twelve or thirteen years old, and the younger sister You Sanjie was only eleven or twelve years old. How could they be that old? If they were, he would have...

As for Qin Keqing, this kid really said it.

This daughter-in-law has only been with him for a month, and she is just like a fresh peach. He did have this idea, but he hasn't succeeded yet, so why was this boy yelling at her?

What a bad thing.

The more Jia Zhen thought about it, the angrier and angrier she became, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. For a moment, her heart was filled with phlegm, and she almost lost her breath.

Fortunately, his good eldest son Jia Rong was very helpful, arranging the medicine, helping him take it, and supporting him to rest for a while, and he finally got over it.

During this period, fortunately, there were two uncles, Jia She and Jia Zheng, from the Rongguo Mansion next door to help entertain them, so it would not be too rude.

After all, it's all the fault of this kid who talks too much. It would be great if there was some way to control him.

Jia Zhen took a long break and finally took a breath. She was about to step forward and join the conversation, but unexpectedly someone outside reported: "The old lady is back."

[Author's words]

It has been refined.
