Early that morning, Chen Zhao, accompanied by the housekeeper Sun Xiaodong and several servants, arrived at the Rongguo Duke's mansion in two carriages and several young men carrying gifts.

After all, he is Lin Ruhai's nephew and subordinate, and he escorted Daiyu to Beijing, so he has some kind of family relationship with Rongguo Mansion.

Chen Zhao is a junior again, so he should come to visit and meet the ancestors of the Jia family.

Before, I had the emperor's mandate and was very busy, so it was okay to come to visit without time. But now that I'm away, it would be rude not to come to visit again.

As soon as we reached the intersection of Ningrong Street, yes, Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion together occupied an entire street, and the aura of wealth and wealth had already broken through the sky.

Passing through the three archways, you can see people coming and going on the street, including porters delivering things, porters delivering messages, and other people of all kinds.

Those who held their heads high and arrogant were either from Ningrong's mansion or from other duke's mansions who came to do business; they were bent over and lowered their heads, with a lingering flattery on their faces, or a look of respect and fear that could not be concealed.

Most of the people who live there are here to visit relatives or have a romantic relationship.

On both sides of the street are various vendors selling food, trinkets, and calligraphy and paintings, sparsely occupying the entire street.

Both houses are on the north side of the road, with Ningguo Mansion on the east and Rongguo Mansion on the west. There are two large stone lions squatting at the door. Each has three animal-headed gates. In front of the two doors, there are about ten or so splendid figures sitting in rows.

People who obey.

Chen Zhao held the horse and squinted his eyes for a few glances. Sun Xiaodong next to him leaned into his ear and whispered: "Sir, I heard that Mr. Ning Guogong's hereditary is a first-class divine general?"

"That's right, Duke Daihua only inherited the first-class divine power hereditary general, and later passed it on to Mr. Jing. However, Mr. Jing devoted himself to Taoism after becoming a Jinshi, so he passed the title and family property to Brother Zhen. Now Ning Guo

The title of the mansion should be that of General Weilie, the third class. As for the Rongguo Mansion, Mr. She is attacking General Zhaoyi, the first class."

Having said this, Chen Zhao turned to Sun Xiaodong and shook his head slightly. Sun Xiaodong smiled and said nothing.

Although Chen Zhao is a candidate who will take part in the examination in a few months, and is only a temporary worker as a third-grade Jinyiwei Tongzhi, after all, he is the Yingwu Viscount granted by the emperor, and this is his first visit, so it is natural for him to go through the main entrance.

When the boys saw Chen Zhao and his entourage approaching, one of them stood up and asked, "May I ask which house you belong to?"

"Please also inform me that my Yingwu Lord Chen Zhao has come to pay homage to the old lady, eldest master and second master of your mansion." Sun Xiaodong stepped forward and handed over the greeting card.

"Lord Yingwu..." the young man said in a long voice. The rest of the people who had been smiling just now returned to their previous arrogance and complacency, and sat back on the bench one after another. One person even murmured in a low voice: "

He seems to be a viscount, here..." The disdain could be felt by Chen Zhao and others who were seven or eight steps away.

The expressions of several servants who were born in salt industry changed, and they were about to step forward to discuss the matter, but they were stopped by Sun Xiaodong.

Sun Xiaodong glared at the two of them and signaled not to act rashly, then walked up to Chen Zhao and whispered: "Sir, their family is just a first-class general now, one level lower than Shadutang's title, but the servants are so arrogant

Rude, really..."

It turned out that Sha Jinrui was from the Jinyiwei family. After he became the commander of the Jinyiwei, the emperor gave him the title of Marquis of Xiangcheng as usual.

This marquis was half a rank higher than the rank of first-class general. He treated Chen Zhao with courtesy, but he didn't expect that the servants would not take the noble title of Yingwu as a mere first-class general.

"There's no need to say it, as long as everyone knows what's going on.

The boy who took the invitation turned around and entered the corner door. After waiting for a while, the door opened with a creak. The boys who had just been standing there chatting as if no one was around all stood up in panic and stood beside him in awe.

"Jia Lian has met the wise brother Zi Shang." It was Jia Lian who came out to greet him.

"Chen Zhao has met Brother Shi." Chen Zhao bowed his hands in greeting.

"Brother Xian, please come in quickly! The old lady has been waiting early in the morning, as well as the eldest master, the second master, and brothers Zhen and Brother Rong from Dongfu. They are all waiting."

Chen Zhao couldn't help but be startled. The entire Ning Rong Mansion was dispatched. It seemed that they valued him very much.

Think about it, even though Chen Zhao has only been in the capital for a short month, he has caused a huge stir and made the Jinyiwei, who everyone revered, look like nothing. Of course, this reputation has spread to the second house of Rongning.

.

"Okay, please quickly ask Brother Xian to lead the way. I'll pay my respects to the old lady and the two uncles."

"My grandnephew Chen Zhao pays his respects to the old lady! I wish the old lady long life, prosperity and good health."

"Get up, get up, let me take a good look at you." Mother Jia shouted repeatedly, "Min'er often praises you in letters, and Yu'er often praises you as a young talent. These are your two uncles, Mr. Pardon."

, Mr. Zheng.”

"My nephew Chen Zhao has sent his regards to the eldest uncle and the second uncle."

"This is Brother Zhen from Dongfu."

"Chen Zhao has met Brother Zhenxian."

"This is Jia Baoyu, the second son of the second oldest child in my family. He is only four years younger than you."

"I've met brother Zi Shangxian." Jia Baoyu said first.

Finally I met this long-famous Mr. Jade-bearing. His face was bright and shining, his temples were like knife cuts, his eyebrows were like ink paintings, his nose was like hanging gallbladder, and his eyes were like autumn waves. His face was like the moon of Mid-Autumn Festival, and his color was like the flowers of spring dawn.

.

Looking at him again, he was wearing a purple gold crown with jewels embedded in his hair, two dragons grabbing gold to wipe his forehead, and a two-color gold dress with hundreds of butterflies and red arrow sleeves with flowers. Chen Zhao couldn't help but complain in his heart, he is really cool.

, a slut among sluts. He must have been among women for a long time, and there is a lingering air of makeup between his eyebrows.

Jia Baoyu was also looking at Chen Zhao.

I saw this hero that Sister Lin praised, the hero who attacked the salt merchants. He was tall and tall, with a heroic look, and there was a hint of majesty and majesty in his movements. His nose was like a mountain, and his eyes were like bright stars, making it easy to see at a glance.

It reminds me of the saying in the storytelling "the waist of a wasp and the back of an ape, and the posture of a crane and the shape of a beetle".

Even in the Jiubian Military Town in the North, I am afraid that everyone will shout, "Good boy, he must be a hero who can shoot eagles and capture tigers."

It's a pity that it doesn't fit Jia Baoyu's aesthetic sense.

First of all, the skin is not white enough and does not meet the standard of having a beautiful face. Twenty points will be deducted. The temperament is too majestic and there is no romantic beauty, so twenty points will be deducted. The stature is too tall and needs people to look up to and has no affinity, so another ten points will be deducted.

.The final score was 50 points, which was only higher than Jia Huan of the roe-headed rat.

After introducing Jia Rong, Jia's mother took Chen Zhao into the inner room separated by curtains and began to introduce the female family members. Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. You, Mrs. Lian, Mrs. Qin and several sisters came to greet them in turn.

He is Lin Ruhai's nephew, and the brother who grew up with Daiyu. Ethically speaking, he is much closer than Sun Shaozu, Feng Ziying, etc., so it is obvious that he has a close family relationship.

Moreover, the family members were introduced by Daiyu.
