Jia Qiang, who is thousands of miles away from the sacred capital, naturally doesn't know that there are many things happening in the capital.

He didn't even know that he had a concubine in his name who was the best courtesan in the world.

Getting up early in the morning, he told Zhu Zhu to stay on the boat and look after Old Gang Leader Li with the two Jinsha gang members. There were also Xiang Ling, Vivian, Xue Yan and others on the boat.

Together with Li Jing, he escorted the carriage Daiyu was riding in, merged with Jia Lian and his party, and went to Huaiyin Pier.

Because someone had already called the front station to reach Bing Zhen's house, there were also servants of the Zhen family waiting on the pier.

Although when I was studying in the Red Mansion in my previous life, I knew that the Zhen family in Jiangnan was a wealthy family that even arrogant people like Wang Xifeng lamented, "Why is his family so rich?", but only by looking at this situation now can we understand what it means to be the first famous family in Jiangnan.

Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Zeng of the Zhen family, was a wonderful nanny in the palace when she was young. During the most difficult ten years before the Emperor ascended the throne, she was lovingly raised by Mrs. Zeng of the Zhen family.

With this kind of love, even though Mrs. Zeng of the Zhen family has passed away for more than ten years, the Emperor still treats the Zhen family kindly.

Zhen Yingjia was just a descendant of the Sun family, but she still received heaven's grace and inherited her father's official position and served as the president of Jinling Provincial Tirenyuan.

His official position is not high, only fifth rank, but in the south of the Yangtze River, even the governor of Liangjiang has to give Zhen Yingjia a few points and give him three points.

Because Zhen Yingjia originally stayed in Jiangnan for the Tian family and monitored the Jiangnan Shilin's ears and eyes, he was the real emperor's eagle dog!

Even though the Sun family who raised the Supreme Emperor has passed away many years ago, the Zhen family is still regarded as family by the Supreme Emperor, even if they are just domestic slaves.

But his close family slaves are far more reassuring to him than foreign ministers, and even more than flesh and blood clan members.

This also established the Zhen family’s unshakable position in Jiangnan...

Huaiyin is the place where the governor's office of water transportation is located. The busiest docks in Huaiyin should rank among the top ten in the world.

However, it is such a busy pier. At this moment, the pier is almost empty.

There was only a young man in his twenties, dressed in brocade clothes, followed by about twenty servants and maids.

This kind of formation has never been seen in the Jia family unless Jia Mu took action.

Seeing this, Jia Lian hurriedly took a few steps forward, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Angyou, I haven't seen you for several years, but you are becoming more and more outstanding!"

The young man also laughed and said: "Second brother Lian, you are still so charming and suave!"

Jia Qiang caught a glimpse of the window of the Eight Treasure Hairpin carriage that Daiyu was riding in opened up a crack. The two of them looked at each other and smiled through the window. They both felt that the two people in front of them were a little confused...

Fortunately, the two of them didn't exchange too many greetings. Although the young man whose cousin was Ang You and whose real name was Zhen Fu was wondering why Jia Lian didn't introduce Jia Qiang and Li Jing to him, he didn't ask much. He just nodded to them and called them.

The accompanying carriages and horses led the Jia family to the old house of the Zhen family on Guiyi Street, Beidaguan, Huaiyin.

…

"Send greetings to the madam. My old lady, master, and wife have all told me time and again to say hello to the old lady."

In the Xuanrui Hall of the Zhen family's old house, Jia Lian led Jia Qiang and Daiyu to greet an old lady with silver hair on the high platform who was much thinner than Jia's mother.

This person is the old lady of the Zhen family, Mrs. Li. She also has the official status of a first-class lady. Looking at everyone in the hall, she nodded with a smile and said: "Get up quickly... How is Mrs. Rongguo's health? I haven't seen her in almost twenty years.

Okay."

Jia Lian smiled hurriedly and said: "My ancestor's body and bones are not bad. He has not cared about family matters for a long time. He only talks happily with his grandchildren and daughters every day and talks about ancient times with some elders in the family, so his body and bones are still strong."

Li smiled and said: "Okay, okay!" As she said that, her eyes fell on Daiyu, who was second behind Jia Lian. Seeing her pitiful appearance, she said: "Is this Lin Yanzheng's girl? She's the same as your mother.

They are somewhat similar, but the body bones are a bit thinner."

Daiyu knelt down and responded politely: "To the old lady, she is my father's daughter."

Li said repeatedly: "Get up, poor thing. I met your mother a few times when she was here. All in all, I have seen countless girls in my life, but no one can compare with her. I heard that you

Is my father sick? I happen to have a good ginseng plant here, so I’ll take it to replenish his health."

Next to Mrs. Li, a middle-aged lady in rich clothes smiled warmly and said, "Old lady, I am not a stingy wife. It's just that the ginseng plant was specially sent by the Queen to the angel when you celebrated your birthday last month.

Sent. Your old prince hasn’t warmed up yet, so he changed hands and gave it away. Isn’t that right..."

Li waved her hand and said with a smile: "If you keep it in your hand, it's just a medicinal ingredient, and it will be wasted in vain. The Jia family and our family are both close relatives and old friends, no more so than other families. Since the uncle of the old Guo Gong is sick, why should we be reluctant to part with him?"

Even if the queen in the palace knows about it, she will understand us."

After that, he asked a young girl behind him who looked very delicate and dressed in gold and silver to fetch it and gave it to Daiyu.

Daiyu was naturally grateful and thanked her again with tears in her eyes.

Finally, the eyes of Mrs. Li and the Mantang Zhen family fell on Jia Qiang. Mrs. Li smiled and said, "This is..."

Jia Lian smiled and said: "To tell you what the old lady is saying, this is Jia Qiang, the nephew of the younger generation, the decent great-great-grandson of Mr. Ning Mansion."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in Xuan Rui Hall suddenly became a little weird.

The old lady of the Zhen Mansion personally received her. This kind of dignity is not something that even the governor of Liangjiang can always have in Jiangnan.

This is due to the close relationship and even kinship between the Jia family and the Zhen family for nearly a hundred years, but a fifth-generation grandson of Ningguo Mansion is not the direct grandson of Chengjue...

This status cannot be said to show respect for the Zhen family.

Jia Lian naturally understood this truth and hurriedly said with a smile: "So that the old lady will know that this matter is definitely not the younger generation's good advice. It is actually the order of my ancestors."

Li Shi asked curiously: "Oh? Could it be that this brother was also born with a strange phenomenon and had great auspiciousness in him?"

When Jia Lian heard this, he twitched the corner of his mouth and explained with a smile: "Although Brother Qiang is not born with a miracle, he has great luck. There are hundreds of children of the He clan, and no one has better luck than him."

Li became more and more curious and said, "What kind of luck is this... could it be that I was born well?"

As soon as these words came out, Xuan Rui's hall burst into laughter, especially the women in the inner house and the maids, who looked at Jia Qiang openly with their eyes.

To do so is a bit frivolous and disrespectful.

However, Jia Qiang remained neither humble nor arrogant, her eyes were as bright as water, and she didn't see any waves.

Daiyu, who was originally worried about him, turned around and glanced lightly. Seeing how calm he was, her slightly uneasy heart instantly calmed down.

Jia Lian laughed twice and continued: "The autobiography of the Supreme Emperor is after the present emperor. He has lived in the deep palace of Jiuhua for a long time to raise the dragon body. He has not left the palace for more than five years. He did not want to suddenly leave the palace and watch it in Zuixian Tower.

When he arrived at Jia Qiang, he fell in love with him at first sight and praised him for his loyalty and filial piety. Later, the emperor also sent a favor and praised the Jia family for their good education. Later, during the Golden Autumn Longevity Festival, the Supreme Emperor once again praised him in front of the Tian family and the veterans.

Once, before we went south, the Supreme Emperor specially sent a favor and gave Brother Qiang a letter to show his favor."

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in Xuanrui Hall.

Jia Qiang and Dai Yu looked at each other silently. They didn't care much about the wealth of the Zhen family, and they didn't covet anything.

But everyone was a little surprised by Jia Lian's behavior. Has he really changed his gender?
