Chapter 152: Family Friendship
Qingwen has a pair of beautiful fox eyes, and there is a bit of Lin Daiyu's shadow on her pretty face.

Although she was in tears at this moment, she was not as charming as Lin Daiyu. Instead, she was stiff and stubborn.

Her beautiful eyes were full of indignation, and she wrote on her face, "I feel wronged, but I just won't say it."

Chen Ran smiled and said, "It's a small matter, you can make the decision yourself."

The matter of a maid is indeed a trivial matter not worth mentioning.

She was not a golden hairpin who needed a strategy to conquer, so Chen Ran didn't care.

While they were chatting and laughing, a servant came to the outside of the courtyard and reported that Mr. Zheng next door was inviting them to drink.

Chen Ran said a few words, then turned around and went to the Rongguo Mansion next door.

Looking at his departing figure, Qingwen looked angry.

Look down on me?

"Mr. Zheng." Seeing Jia Zheng, Chen Ran greeted him warmly, "Excuse me."

"Hurry up and take a seat." Seeing him coming to the banquet, Jia Zheng immediately smiled and said, "An old friend of my father sent some mushrooms from southern Yunnan. I would like to invite you to taste them."

Chen Ran'(°ー°〃)'

No way, you're treating me to mushrooms from southern Yunnan?!

Looking towards the table, I saw mushrooms added to various dishes.

"My physical fitness should be fine." Chen Ran immediately opened the panel and added points to the health option.

Especially immune ability, which is of paramount importance.

Jia Zheng's family came over to pay their respects.

The principal wife is Lady Wang, and the concubine is Aunt Zhao.

Sons Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan, daughter Jia Tanchun and daughter-in-law Li Wan, and even the third generation Jia Lan came.

Except for Jia Yuanchun who was in the palace and the eldest son Jia Zhu who died early, the whole family was there.

In fact, Jia Zheng has other concubines, but they have never given birth to children and are not qualified to appear here.

Chen Ran's eyes flickered. He understood what Jia Zheng meant. This was to take the approach of gaining the support of the entire family.

"Zihou." Jia Zheng personally poured wine for him, "Congratulations on being named Duke of Ningguo~"

The Jia family had different reactions to Chen Ran's title.

Grandmother Jia was very angry. That was the Jia family's ancestral title, but now it fell into the hands of an outsider. How could she be in a good mood?

There is no need to mention Jia She, a waste.

Jia Zheng's attitude was the opposite. He felt that the Jia family had already lost the title of Ningguo Mansion.

It is a good thing for the Jia family that a world-famous hero like Chen Ran can now bring the title of Duke of Ning back to the world.

Jia Zheng actually likes investing very much.

He began to invest in his elder brother-in-law and helped him ascend to the position of Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp.

Afterwards, he invested in Jia Yucun, reinstated him, and made him the prefect of Jinling.

Now, he decided to invest in Chen Ran.

Of course, now that Chen Ran has reached such a status and position, the so-called investment is more like taking the initiative to surrender and cooperate with each other to seek shelter.

"I am ashamed." Chen Ran said politely and modestly, "I have not made any achievements, but the emperor and the emperor emeritus have treated me so well. It's really..."

Listening to Chen Ran's insincere polite words, Jia Baoyu, who was drinking with his head down, couldn't help but mutter, "How hypocritical~"

Jia Tanchun, who was standing next to him, heard it and hurriedly reached under the table and pushed him.

Don’t you even understand what to say and when?

Chen Ran has good hearing and has heard it.

She kept her expression calm, but said with a smile, "Is Baoyu's illness getting better?"

When this matter was mentioned, everyone's expressions became a little unnatural.

Jia Baoyu pretended to be sick and missed the opportunity to follow him out of the frontier.

At the beginning, everyone thought there was nothing wrong with it. At least they had avoided a survival crisis and would not die in the frontier.

But when the news came that Chen Ran had defeated the Russians and forced all the tribes on the grassland to come to the capital and submit to him, the Jia family began to regret it.

With such a great achievement, anyone who follows will definitely be able to share some of the profits. At least it will be a solid resume!
What a pity, he missed it just by pretending to be sick.

Jia Zheng was furious and gave Jia Baoyu a severe lecture.

Mrs. Wang took advantage of the situation and drove Qingwen, who had suggested pretending to be sick, out of the house.

At this moment, Chen Ran mentioned this matter casually, and Jia Zheng's eyes immediately turned viciously towards Jia Baoyu.

"It's nothing serious now." In front of Chen Ran, he had to help cover up a little. "I've been weak since I was a child. There's nothing I can do."

"In fact, things like being weak since childhood can be cured." Chen Ran said nonsense in a serious tone, "I have arranged a training plan for Baoyu before. If he persists in exercising for a few years, he can effectively enhance his physical fitness and become stronger."

Hearing this, Jia Baoyu shuddered.

That training plan is simply torture.

He doesn't want to get up before dawn to exercise, and go home tired and sweaty after a day of work, just like a stinky man like mud!

Jia Zheng looked over and saw his evasive attitude, and could only sigh.

There is no way, this son is really useless.

If no matter how much support you give, it won't work, then there's nothing you can do but give up.

After all, Jia Baoyu is not an only child, and Jia Zheng has sons and grandsons to raise.

"Zihou." After a few drinks, Jia Zheng called Jia Huan over and gestured in front of him, "You are my dear son Jia Huan. Can I follow you into the army and learn a little?"

Li Wan and others all changed color when they heard this.

He had a legitimate second son but he didn't give him a chance, instead he gave the opportunity to his illegitimate son.

Everyone understood that Jia Baoyu was abandoned.

Mrs. Wang's face turned pale, but she could only hold back her anger in front of the guests. Aunt Zhao was overjoyed, and if the occasion wasn't inappropriate, she would have jumped up and cheered.

Jia Tanchun was in a dilemma and really didn't know how to behave.

Nominally she is the daughter of her biological mother, Lady Wang, and Jia Baoyu is her biological brother.

But in fact, Jia Huan is her biological brother from the same father and mother.

At this moment, no matter how she expressed herself, it would be inappropriate.

Only Jia Baoyu himself had a smile on his face as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing his behavior, everyone shook their heads secretly.

'You feel comfortable now, but what about the future? '

"Once Lady Jia and the others are gone, who will be able to protect you? If Jia Huan becomes the head of the Jia family in the future, will he still allow you to use up all the resources of the Jia family and live a life of luxury and wealth? Dream on!"

Chen Ran felt unhappy when he looked at Jia Huan, whose demeanor was like that of a young man of later generations.

He had long heard that Jia Huan was not a good person and was a school bully who bullied the weak in school.

But the words came out as "Of course I can."

He agreed first, then explained the difficulties and reasoned, "It's just that Huan Ge is young, and it may not be appropriate for him to join the army at this time. As I said, whoever can complete the training plan I gave can join the army for training."

As for how to complete it, I will have the final say at that time!

Jia Zheng nodded and said, "That's right."

He raised his glass and gestured to Chen Ran, "Come on, don't go home until you are drunk today."

Li Wan tried several times to step forward and express her opinion, but was suppressed every time by the ethical education she received.

The anger in my heart could not be concealed no matter what.

"Jia Lan is the eldest grandson of the Jia family. The Jia family would rather give the incense to the useless Jia Huan than give Jia Lan even a little bit? They are too biased!"

It is no wonder that in the original novel, after Jia Lan became successful in high school, he never helped his poor relatives.

How you treat me is how I will treat you.

"We are close friends, there is no need to be polite." Jia Zheng happily pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Don't be polite, Zihou. Come and try the mushrooms from southern Yunnan. They are said to be very delicious."

Delicious is indeed delicious, but...
Thinking about his high health value, Chen Ran gritted his teeth and picked up his chopsticks.

Yes, it is indeed delicious. No wonder so many people are willing to eat it even at the risk of their dogs learning to talk and having hallucinations.

"You're welcome, come on, come on, use your chopsticks~~~"

"Come, drink this cup to its fullest~~~"

"Pour some wine, and bring two more jars of Thousand Days Drunk~"

"This mushroom is so smooth and delicious~"

"Mushroom soup, taste the freshness~~"

A banquet in which both the host and the guests had a great time.

At least Chen Ran and Jia Zheng were very satisfied and enjoyed their meal.

Aunt Zhao had already taken Jia Huan back to her own courtyard. Their identities were just to come here in the name of close family friends so that Chen Ran could meet them and get to know them, but they were not qualified to stay with him for a long time.

Later, Li Wan also took Jia Lan away, after all, they were an orphan and a widow.

Jia Baoyu should have stayed with her till the end and was responsible for greeting and serving her, but he just didn't have the patience to do these things and he had no good feelings towards Chen Ran.

Seeing that the two people over there were drunk, she simply ran away quietly to play with the maids.

Jia Tanchun also wanted to leave, but was kept by Mrs. Wang.

After all, Jia Baoyu is gone, and someone of the younger generation has to stay, otherwise it would seem that they were not well educated.

He drank several jars of wine, ate several plates of mushroom dishes, and even had several bowls of mushroom soup.

Chen Ran felt a little dizzy, and even with his health at full value, he couldn't bear it anymore.

As for Jia Zheng, he was completely drunk and showed signs of going crazy.

Mrs. Wang came out to end the banquet and personally helped the talking nonsense Jia Zheng back to his room to rest. She wanted to persuade Jia Zheng that the Jia family's incense and support should not be given to a concubine's son!
Before leaving, Jia Zheng shouted that it was getting late and Zihou should just rest at home.

We are all neighbors living next door to each other, so we are good friends and there is no need to be polite.

Mrs. Wang signaled Jia Tanchun to arrange for Chen Ran to rest, while she helped Jia Zheng leave.

The banquet was prepared by the maids. Jia Tanchun called the maid to help Chen Ran to the next yard to rest.

Chen Ran was placed in the guest room, and the maids brought towels and hot water and helped him wash up.

During the whole process, Chen Ran just let himself be manipulated, keeping his head down and saying nothing.

Jia Tanchun just thought he was drunk and didn't think much about it.

When the work was done, Jia Tanchun told the maids to go back and rest.

She came to Chen Ran and bowed, "Mr. Ran, it's getting late, you should go to bed early."

After finishing the polite exchanges, Jia Tanchun prepared to leave and went to find Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan, warning them not to jump around, as Mrs. Wang would not allow Jia Huan to surpass Baoyu.

At this moment, Chen Ran, who had been lowering his head, suddenly raised his head and looked at her with glowing eyes.

Jia Tanchun's heart skipped a beat. Before she could say anything, she saw Chen Ran smiling brightly, "Ruyan, you are not behaving well today."

"Ruyan?"

While Jia Tanchun was still wondering who Ruyan was, she suddenly felt her body lighten.

The world was spinning around me, and I found myself being pressed down on the bed.

Looking at the man so close to her, she felt her breathing stop.

"I am. Um~~~"

Before he could finish his words, they were blocked.

The candles in the room burned out at some point.

In the dark room, only soft sobbing and the strange sound of water echoed.
