"These days, I have traveled outside the capital of the gods, and I often hear that the local officials in the country now all have a private list."

"The names of the most powerful, wealthy and noble local gentry are recorded on it. If you don't know them and offend such people, you may not only lose your official title, but also your life. That's why it's called a"guardian talisman"."

"Uncle She, Uncle Zheng, and Brother Zhen probably don't know about Jinling's official protection talisman.

Suddenly, Jia Xuan changed the subject, which surprised everyone present.

‘Official protection talisman?

Jia She and Jia Zhen were no strangers to this.

Only Jia Zheng, who had always been upright and honest, modest and kind, and even pedantic, looked confused.

"Jia is not fake, white jade is used as the hall and gold is used as the horse"

"The Afang Palace, three hundred miles long, could not accommodate a single historian from Jinling"

"The East Sea lacks a white jade bed, so the Dragon King invites the King of Jinling to come."

"In a good year, there is heavy snow, pearls are as common as dirt, and gold is as common as iron."

"The four great families of Jinling are Jia

, Shi, Wang, and Xue."After taking a deep look at Jia She and Jia Zhen, Jia Xuan said in a deep voice

"this..."

Jia She and Jia Zhen's faces froze, not knowing what to say.

Jia Zheng could tell that this was not a good thing to say.

"The wealth and honor gained by Xianning, Rong Ergong and Daishan through blood and struggle must not be tarnished by anyone."

"The Jia family has twenty houses, and each year one male is selected. Those under fifteen years old are admitted to the Wutang, and those over fifteen years old are admitted to the Longxiang Guard."

"The martial arts hall is located in the Ningguo Mansion martial arts arena. I will personally send people to teach the children of the Jia family martial arts, military books and strategies."

"I don't care about the eldest son of the first house or the second son of the second house. I only care which house the visitor is from."

"As for the people in these two mansions, I think Brother Lian and Brother Rong are not the type to learn martial arts."

"I'll just give each of them 50,000 taels of silver as support for the construction of the martial arts hall."

Glancing at Jia Lian and Jia Rong, Jia Xuan said indifferently

""Dad!!!"

Jia Lian and Jia Rong looked at Jia She and Jia Zhen pleadingly, as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Jia She and Jia Zhen wanted to spit out blood, it wasn’t that Jia Lian and Jia Rong didn’t want to go, it was that Jia Xuan didn’t want them and despised them for being useless.

"Xuan Ge Er"

"This one from my house?"

Jia Zheng said suddenly, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"Uncle Zheng"

"This is the old lady's sweetheart. I dare not take it away."

"It counts as one hundred thousand taels of silver"

"As for the expenses of the three thousand Dragon Guards, the two governments will each contribute 100,000 taels of silver."

"What do you think?"

With eyes as sharp as blades, Jia Xuan's gaze swept across the faces of every Jia family member present.

Jia She, Jia Zhen and others felt a sharp pain on their skin and had to nod their heads in agreement.

""Yes!"

Jia Zheng wanted Jia Baoyu to exercise, but Jia's mother made the decision first, so he had to agree.

The cost of this trip was 450,000 taels of silver, which was not much for the wealthy Jia family, but it was enough to make them feel painful for a while.

However, no one dared to refuse, because Jia Xuan held the Chixiao Sword and the clan order in his hand. If he opened the clan temple, everyone present would be sent to the guillotine, unless they did not recognize the Jia family rules.

"Now that the matter is done, I will go back first."

Jia Xuan brushed the corner of his clothes and walked out of Rongguo Mansion without paying any attention to the people in Rongxi Hall.

"I..."

Jia Baoyu huddled in Grandmother Jia's arms, feeling wronged. He was about to say that his jade was still in Jia Xuan's hands, but he didn't dare to say it.

"Old Lady, Uncle She, Uncle Zheng"

"I think my second brother is not good enough in managing the Wutang and Longxiang Guard."

"I'll go back and help him now, bye!"

""You evil creature, why don't you go back home?"

Jia Zhen greeted Jia Mu, Jia She, and Jia Zheng, and scolded Jia Rong.

"Yes."

Jia Rong hurriedly followed him like a mouse meeting a cat.

Seeing everyone from the East Palace leaving Rong Xi Tang one after another, Jia She could not help but ask,"Mother, who on earth ordered Zhou Rui to do such a thing?"

"Yes, mother, Ru Hai sent his own daughter to the mansion, so he should have taken good care of her. How could you treat her so harshly?"

Even Jia Zheng couldn't help but speak out, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his words.

"You go down first."

Grandmother Jia gave Jia Lian a look.

"Yes, ancestor!"

Jia Lian hurriedly took Jia Baoyu and other younger generations away from Rong Xi Tang.

Seeing that only Jia Mu, Jia She and Jia Zheng were left in the hall, Jia Mu said:"The Lin family is a family of marquisates, and Ru Hai is relied upon by the present emperor."

"As the second-rank official of Lantai Temple and the imperial censor of Yangzhou Salt Inspection, he cut off the financial resources of the man, which led to the orphan Min'er's journey north."

"I originally wanted to marry our two families to preserve this relationship, but I didn't expect your wife to have a different opinion."

"Absurd!"

With an angry look on his face, Jia She scolded:"If Ru Hai were still alive, what would Min'er think if he knew about your mother's behavior in the afterlife?"

"And that ignorant woman, the Wang family is just a county magistrate, and two of them have married into my Jia family one after the other."

"Could it be that my Jia family has been managed by the Wang family for generations, and will not stop until the power falls into the hands of others?"

Earlier, Jia She was already dissatisfied with Jia Lian marrying Wang Xifeng. Now, Jia's mother actually began to plot for Jia Baoyu to marry the Lin family's daughter. He is the eldest son of the eldest house, why should he make wedding clothes for the second house? There is no such reason in the world!

Moreover, now he has failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice. If Lin Ruhai knew about all this, wouldn't the in-laws suddenly become enemies!

"Mother, elder brother, I..."

Jia Zheng was so ashamed that he didn't know what to say.

It should have been a happy event, but now it has turned into such a scandal, all because of the mischief of the woman in his family.

No matter what, if Lin Daiyu was allowed to go through the corner gate, and this matter spread out, how can the Jia family still live in the country?

"All matters in the inner court of the palace were handed over to Sister Feng."

"Wang Ziteng is currently the governor of the Beijing camp, so no complications can arise."

"Ru Hai thought that Daiyu liked the East Mansion more, so that was all."

Grandmother Jia made the final decision without giving Jia She and Jia Zheng a chance to speak. Even if Jia She was not satisfied, Wang Xifeng was Jia Lian's daughter-in-law, from the eldest son's house, so it was reasonable.

As for Jia Zheng, he had to keep the pain in his heart. Who told him to marry such a stupid woman like a piece of wood? He had to go to Aunt Zhao's place to drink to relieve his boredom.
