The Soldier of the Red Mansion

Chapter 175 Angels in the Palace

Zhu Wei did not plan to hold a birthday party, but the people below were calling for it too much. There were too many people who wanted to find reasons to honor the Zhu family. If he refused, it would hurt people's feelings, so Zhu Wei gave in.

After years of reorganization, the Beijing Camp has finally come to light.

"Our Eastern Army is undoubtedly the leader, and the other three armies are just embellishments. From now on, when you mention the Beijing Camp, just call it the Eastern Army."

"Hahaha."

"The Eastern Army is the Beijing Camp."

There was one courtyard for the nobles, one courtyard for the military generals, one courtyard for the civil officials, and another courtyard for the wives of each family. There were so many people coming that the entire Zhu Mansion was busy and crowded.

"The mansion is a bit small."

"Of course it can't compare to your house." Jiang Zining flattered, but it was also the truth.

There are two dukes in one family, and there are indeed few dukes' mansions on the whole street that can compare with it. The scale of the Zhu Mansion is not smaller than my own, but it is only half the size of the Ningguo Mansion. The Jia Mansion has two dukes' mansions connected together.

"Master Jia She, the hereditary first-class general and grandson of Duke Rong, has arrived."

"Mr. Jiang Zining, the hereditary second-rank male and grandson of Marquis Pingyuan, has arrived."

Two more sedan chairs arrived. According to their size and luxury, a steward and a group of deacons came to greet them in a loud manner. The long-time attendants brought by the two of them informed them of the identities of the visitors, and the steward did not dare to neglect them.

The job of welcoming people is not an easy one. If ordinary people make a mistake, it is fine, but when you are in such a position, you cannot afford to make mistakes. What if you offend a guest that you should not offend?

Therefore, the person in charge of welcoming guests or the housekeeper must be an elder in the mansion who knows the ins and outs of it.

When Jia She heard the names being called out in the mansion, he felt a little embarrassed to face people compared to Jiang Zining's ease.

Because this title can scare ordinary people, but not those who know the truth. Although Xie Jing is only a second-class man, he also serves as a guerrilla in the Beijing Camp. Although the guerrilla in the Beijing Camp is only a third-rank official, it is also a real job.

If the Jia family's position as the governor of the Beijing camp had not been lost, the name to be called would be Mr. Jia She, the grandson of Duke Rong, the hereditary first-class general and governor of the Beijing camp!

Jia She followed Jiang Zining. Jiang Zining guessed what Jia She was thinking and took the initiative to greet him, saving Jia She from embarrassment. He ended up meeting quite a few acquaintances.

When Zhu Wei heard that Jia She was coming, he was a little surprised, but he was not in a hurry. He slowly showed up and exchanged greetings for a while.

A while later, Jia She and Jiang Zining were sitting and drinking tea, surrounded by a few old friends. Suddenly, someone came from outside. It turned out to be Xie Jing. He said with a smile, "My two brothers, I didn't come to greet you. Please forgive me, please forgive me!"

"You are such a good guy, Xie Jing. If Brother Jia didn't come, would you have been hiding over there too?" Jiang Zining scolded with a smile.

Xie Jing bowed to the crowd, not daring to neglect them. "Brother Jiang, why do you have to wrong me? Why don't you have a few drinks later? I will definitely satisfy Brother Jiang."

Jiang Zining laughed and said, "I exposed you, but you wanted to get me drunk. You are so angry." They were both children of nobles and had known each other since childhood, so they didn't have many scruples when talking to each other.

"Xie Jing is working in the Beijing camp, so of course he has to build good relationships with his colleagues." Jia She said.

Xie Jing quickly said: "Brother Jia is still the best brother."

As everyone talked, the focus was still on the Jia Mansion. The old housekeeper who was in charge of the reception saw this. The housekeeper was an extremely important position in a wealthy family and knew as much as the master.

Zhu Wei is now a well-known figure in the capital. Other families frown when holding birthday celebrations, fearing that they will bring disgrace to the family. However, it is the Zhu family that is begged by all the families to hold the celebrations, so the old housekeeper knows a lot about the capital.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this is the Jia family after all, they have gone through so many things, but their dignity is still standing.

Not long after, Zhu Shenggong came in.

The guests in and out of the hall saw a man in his thirties. Many did not recognize him, but some did. They all stood up to greet him. Jia She saw this man and knew he was someone important. "It's Master Zhu," Xie Jing, who had already stood up, whispered a reminder.

It turned out to be the young master of the Zhu family. Jia She sighed in his heart and stood up. Although he stood up, he did not want to lose his status, so he did not go to greet him like others, although he felt that it was not a good thing for him to do so.

Xie Jing and Jiang Zining knew that Jia She was unable to let go of his pride. Regardless of Jia She, Xie Jing did not dare to neglect Zhu Shenggong. Jiang Zining wanted to curry favor with him even more, so the two of them had already gone to meet him together with others.

Zhu Shenggong exchanged pleasantries along the way, but walked into the hall, nodded to Xie Jing and others, and then walked to Jia She and said with a smile: "But it's Lord Jia."

Xie Jing was stunned. Although the Jia family still had its gate, its foundation was gone. Mr. Zhu still praised the Jia family so highly. It turned out that the Jia family had a deep foundation. Xie Jing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Xie Jing was like this, and so was Jiang Zining, both of them were extremely jealous.

Jia She was surprised, but he quickly regained his composure. With so many people watching, he was the first to greet him. He couldn't help but feel proud and had a good impression of Zhu Shenggong. He smiled and said, "Mr. Zhu, you are so kind. I am unworthy of it."

Hearing Xie Jing's reminder and taking the initiative to call the other party Sheren, and now that he was the one being addressed first, Jia She felt relieved and naturally humbled: "Now that my humble family is in decline, I am not worthy of being called Jia Gong by Sheren."

Although Zhu Wei was the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Army of the Beijing Camp, Zhu Shenggong was in charge of all matters of the Eastern Army.

Even the guerrilla Xie Jing treated Zhu Shenggong as his superior, which showed Zhu Shenggong's status in the Eastern Army. Although he was a proud person, he was polite at this time. "He deserves it. Wang Xin, who lives in your house, has made great contributions. When he returns to your house, please let him know and ask him to come see me. I miss him so much. It's time for us two brothers to get together."

Most people didn't know who Wang Xin was, and Jiang Zining was also confused, but Xie Jing knew him and whispered an introduction to Jiang Zining.

After hearing this, Jiang Zining felt even more jealous.

It's the Jia family again. Why are they all the Jia family? The Jia family has too strong a foundation. There was a guerrilla named Xie Jing in the Beijing camp, and now there is another Wang Xin. The four major families are of the same blood. The children of the Wang family are also from the Jia family.

Jia She suddenly realized the reason why Zhu Shenggong was so enthusiastic about him. It turned out that it was because of Wang Xin.

But what merits did Wang Xin accomplish? I haven't heard of them.

What’s more important is what Zhu Shenggong just said, are they brothers?

In this case, it is more than what Jiang Zining said that he values ​​Wang Xin. Everyone in the Zhu family has a special attitude towards Wang Xin. Although Jia She always acts reserved, he actually knows it in his heart.

In the past, the Jia family’s Beijing camp was just one of the armies in the capital.

Now the reorganized Jingying is the only army in the Jingji area. Although it is divided into four, the system is the same. In addition, the Eastern Army is now bigger, which means that Zhu Wei is the most important person in the Jingji area at present.

"Of course, of course." Jia She responded, his heart in turmoil.

He hated Wang Ziteng to death, but it was just as his brother said, the four major families could not withstand internal strife.

Zhu Shenggong came here, and he couldn't just greet Jia She. He took the initiative to greet Jia She first, which had already released his attitude, and then he went to greet others. Jiang Zining and Xie Jing surrounded him.

Jiang Zining's eyes were complicated, but Xie Jing asked, "From what Zhu Sheren said, Wang Xin is coming back. Brother Jia, don't hide it anymore. You should host a meeting with us."

Jia She could only nod his head. He couldn't be careless with Wang Xin.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and a group of people rushed in, heading straight for Zhu Shenggong. Zhu Shenggong's face changed, and he took the initiative to rush over, "What happened?"

The leading housekeeper said in panic, "Angels from the palace have arrived to congratulate the master on his birthday. Young master, go and kowtow."

Zhu Shenggong was overjoyed and ran out without caring about his image, following the housekeeper and deacons.

Everyone saw it clearly and sighed in amazement.
