I have a role in the heavens

"Let's eat now!"

Jia Chang turned to look at Xiao Ruyi, who looked aggrieved, and 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 followed Jia Chang jumping up and down, her eyes sparkling, and there was a faint sparkle flowing out of the corner of her mouth, looking like a greedy little girl. Cat look.

Jia Chang, Lin Ruhai and Xiao Ruyi, the three of them had lunch. Xiao Ruyi slumped on her 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 what would happen to him as a father? 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 live a carefree life 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. Now he 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 weird.

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 history. 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 County Prince Bo, there were a total of 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 difficult 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 tribe to surrender her royal merchant qualifications. 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 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 see 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 glossy Zan'er on her head, a honey-colored cotton-padded jacket, a rose-purple gold and silver-colored rat shoulder-length coat, 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 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 will not be able to 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 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 a superficial respect, so he stopped Mrs. Wang's move.

Only then did Mrs. Wang notice Jia Chang beside her. She frowned slightly, with 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 concubine to dictate to Rongguo Mansion, the rules of the Jia family cannot be lost. You are just a woman in the back house. It is not your turn to do things in the front yard. The front door is wide open and has its own rules. As the Jia family, I Man, of course you have to take care of it!"

Jia Chang spoke rudely and quarrelsomely, his face was cold, and he looked directly at Mrs. Wang with sharp eyes, refusing to give an inch.

Mrs. Wang was forced by Jia Chang's sharp edge and took a step back. Then she reacted and became even more angry. There was a look of resentment in her eyes and her face was ashen as she said angrily.

"How outrageous. This is how you talk to your aunt. After all, your wings are stiff and you actually dare to offend me. Aren't you afraid that I will go to the Yamen to accuse you of disobedience and unfilial piety?"

Da Qian ruled the world with filial piety, and filial piety was the biggest support of the king's wife, so he wanted to use this to suppress Jia Chang.

Jia Chang has a tough personality and is the most domineering. Hearing this, he chuckled and said without caring at all.

"My mother has died a long time ago. If I recognize you, my wife, you are my legitimate mother. If I don't recognize you, who are you?"

"If you want to pressure me with your filial piety, you can try if Shuntian Mansion dares to take on this case?!"

Jia Chang was confident. He was granted the title of Marquis at a young age. Even if he was a bit unruly and arrogant, Emperor Yuan Kang would not take it to heart. Instead, he would feel more at ease. Naturally, he was not afraid of Mrs. Wang accusing him of being disobedient and unfilial.

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

Jia Chang was categorical and resolute, his eyes fixed on Mrs. Wang with a frightening light, and there was an evil code on his body, which was extremely frightening.

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

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

Mrs. Wang's voice was extremely cold, like the voice of a demon from hell, which made Li Wan, Tan Chun and others behind her remain silent, not daring to breathe for fear of being harmed by Chi Yu.

Jia Chang sneered when he heard this, took a step forward again, looked down at Mrs. Wang condescendingly, and said with extreme indifference.

"Ma'am, you can try it!"

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

"you dare?!"

Mrs. Wang shouted sharply, her expression distorted, Jia Chang's words were like a sword piercing into Mrs. Wang's weakness.

"You are just a concubine in the house. Do you think you are the leader of the clan and can summon the clan members to divorce me?!"

The patriarch of the Jia clan is Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion. If Jia Chang summons his clan members, he will naturally need his permission.

"I am indeed not the clan leader, but I am the pillar of the clan after all, Marquis Wu'an. If the clansmen 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 him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He felt cold from the inside out and could not help but shiver.

Mrs. Wang felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She knew that what Jia Chang said was true. Now that the Jia family was in decline, Jia Chang was the person with the highest title in the family. He held a high position and was the face of the Jia family. If there was really a big trouble, The Jia family would rather divorce Mrs. Wang than let her accuse Jia Chang of being disobedient and unfilial.

Even Jia Zheng will most likely keep Jia Chang as his son instead of his bed partner. One is the wife of the back house, and the other is the pillar of the Jia family. Jia Zheng and his clan members can still figure out which is more important.

Mrs. Wang suddenly froze on the spot, her gloomy gaze seemed to eat Jia Chang, and she did not dare to insist on opening the front door.

Aunt Xue outside heard the quarrel behind the door and saw that her sister was in a deadlock. She quickly led a pair of children in from the east corner door to smooth things over.

"Sister, Lord Marquis, why are you arguing? Our family has come here to seek refuge, why do we need to open the front door?!"

"This must be Brother Chang in my house. He is indeed very energetic and talented. Pan'er, Baochai, why don't you meet your aunt and all your brothers and sisters?"

Xue Pan stared blankly at the majestic and mighty Jia Chang. He didn't expect that this was the famous Marquis of Wu'an. This was his idol. The young man became a general and became a Marquis. What man in the world wouldn't respect him.

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

Aunt Xue was a little surprised when she saw that there was no movement behind her. She looked back and then woke up Xue Baochai. Her pretty face turned red, she bowed and shouted softly.

"I've met my aunt, I've met all my sisters-in-law, sisters!"

"I've met the Marquis!"

Although Jia Chang was younger than Xue Baochai, Xue Baochai did not dare to call him brother. After all, where was his identity, he called him "Hou Ye" very respectfully.

Xue Pan also received the courtesy and looked at Jia Chang with hot eyes. He looked like a little fanboy. He completely forgot about the conflict with Jia Chang just now. He was also big-hearted and not a small-minded person.

Jia Chang nodded, stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man, and said calmly.

"You're welcome, I offended you today, please forgive me, Aunt Xue!"

"Master Hou, what are you talking about? We are all one family, why should we be so polite!"

Aunt Xue has a bright smile, with a bit of restraint and respect. She is worthy of being a business person. She is graceful, good at dancing, and knows how to relax the atmosphere and grasp the right measures.

Jia Chang didn't want to get entangled with Mrs. Wang, so he nodded to Aunt Xue's family and said goodbye.

"The master has something to do with me, so I'll go ahead and not disturb Aunt Xue and my wife before they meet again after a long absence!"

Jia Chang stepped forward and hurried away, leaving only everyone with complicated expressions. The atmosphere was extremely awkward and not as lively as before. Even Wang Xifeng, who was good at warming up the scene, did not dare to speak out about this for fear of offending Mrs. Wang.

Li Wan's face was expressionless, but there were waves in the depths of her eyes. This was the first time she saw the majesty and domineering power of Marquis Wu'an. She secretly decided in her heart that she would train her son Jia Lan well and let him be named on the gold list, so there was no need to look at it. People's eyes are too lively.

Tan Chun's eyes flashed brightly, and his eyebrows were raised slightly, showing envy.

"This is what a man should do! The fourth brother Chang is indeed different from the second brother Bao. He is bold and domineering, and cannot be manipulated by a woman in the back house!"
