The next day, the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

The weather is clear and the clouds are light and the wind is light.

The long-lost warm sun shines the entire Shenjing lazy.

Early in the morning, Jia Jing had just entered the main courtyard of Ningguo Mansion and heard a burst of noise from the Yimen Gate.

Looking closer, it turned out that it was the Jia family in Beijing waiting to receive the New Year ceremony.

Seeing Jia Jing coming, everyone came over to say hello.

Some of the nearest ones are called "Uncle San" and "Grandpa San", and those with more blood are called "Uncle Clan" and "Grandpa". For a moment, dozens of names rang out in the yard one after another.

"Okay, you guys keep busy with yours!"

Jia Jing's hand was pressed down, and when everyone calmed down, he ordered again: "After you received the New Year's Etiquette, you will also go to my place. I will also leave you a portion of rice, grain and meat!"

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly came over to salute and thank him.

At this time, Jia Zhen was wearing her shoes and wearing the big lynx fur coat she wore yesterday, staggeringly, coming out of the warm room inside the house.

Immediately afterwards, he directed his servants to move out his recliner and placed it on the stone steps under the corridor. He then laid a bed of wolf-skinned mattress on the recliner, laying lazily on it basking in the sun, and watching the children come to receive the New Year gift.

At this time, seeing that everyone in the yard was surrounded, Jia Zhen shouted: "Everything has spread out. Go there one by one to sign and collect things. Don't gather together!"

When everyone heard Jia Zhen’s scolding, they quickly dispersed.

The young nephews of the Jia family have dispersed, so naturally they exposed Jia Jing who was surrounded by them.

Jia Zhen looked at Jia Jing in the crowd and smiled and said, "So it's Brother Jing's third brother!"

Seeing Jia Jing standing there, Jia Zhen couldn't help lying there anymore, so she stood up and asked, "Why are you here today?"

Jia Jing walked over and said with a smile: "Didn't this hear Brother Zhen sending New Year gifts to the children of the clan here, so he came over to take a look. It just so happened that there was a lot of New Year's goods and meat in the lower house. How could my marquis' mansion be used for so much? I asked them to leave some rice, grain and meat for everyone to share so that everyone can have a plump New Year."

After listening to Jia Jing's words, Jia Zhen asked, "Is the harvest of my third brother Jing's farm this year okay?"

Jia Jing nodded, "The climate in the north this year is changing, but fortunately, the farms below are willing to work hard, and the harvest is reasonable. The eight farms in Liaodong have more than 6,000 taels of silver."

In order not to make Jia Zhen jealous, Jia Jing specially hid the income of Green Willow Villa without saying it.

But even so, Jia Jing's words still seemed to fall on Jia Zhen's head.

"Eight farms, more than six thousand taels?"

Jia Zhen suddenly screamed, his voice octave higher.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Jia Jing said in confusion.

But at this time, how could Jia Zhen hear other voices?

Thinking of Wu Jinxiao, the head of his own country, this time he went to Beijing, eight or nine countrymen, and only paid him 2,500 taels of silver.

Jia Zhen felt a heat rushing straight from his heart to the top of his forehead, and then rushed out from the Tianling Cover!

Jia Zhen has the intention to kill someone with a knife.

"A conscienceless turtle! Is he worthy of my trust and preferential treatment?"

Jia Zhen murmured, but the more he thought about it, his eyes became redder and he had no intention of speaking, and he immediately rushed out.

Seeing that Jia Zhen’s situation seemed to be wrong, Jia Jing hurriedly reached out and pulled him, "Brother Zhen, what's going on? I'm so irritable for no reason?"

Jia Zhen had red eyes and said, "Stern Brother Jing, you don't know. Wu Jinxiao, the head of the village in my mansion, will only pay me 2,500 taels of silver this year! He will only pay me such a little silver for eight or nine villages! He probably won't be greedy for the rest!"

Jia Zhen's back teeth chewed, "If it weren't for the third brother, you said that the situation in Liaodong this year was not too bad, maybe we would have been deceived by these conscience-loving turtles!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Jing frowned, "Are the servants in the mansion so bold now?"

"These fools who want money but live, what else can they not do?" Jia Zhen also said angrily.

After hearing Jia Zhen's words, Jia Jing disagreed.

"Since there is a problem, then I'll just arrest it for trial? They are all children from the family in the mansion. If there are those who really ruin their conscience, they will kill two people to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. I don't believe that anyone else dares to do this later!"

As soon as Jia Jing finished speaking, Jia Zhen hesitated, "But they are the outside merchants after all, and they are all experienced. If they are beaten to death, wouldn't anyone care about the merchants behind them..."

"What, without his butcher, can you eat even pigs?"

Looking at Jia Zhen's hesitant look, Jia Jing said angrily: "Brother Zhen wants to recover his own money, but he is unwilling to take heavy measures. Could it be that he has to rely on chanting Buddhist scriptures to influence those fools?

Hesitant, hesitant!

I asked me to tell you that Brother Zhen should follow me to go to the army to find an errand, go to the battlefield for two trips, and keep it very different when you come back!"

"Then forget it," Jia Zhen waved his hands repeatedly, "With my body like this, I'm afraid I'll be dead and come back if I don't have the life!"

Immediately, thinking about Jia Jing’s suggestion just now. After a little consideration, Jia Zhen gritted his teeth, "Brother Jing, I will listen to you and follow your method!"

After saying that, he ordered the servant beside him, "Take a few people to the guest room and tie up the two brothers Wu Jinxiao."

"Yes, Master!"

The servant immediately took the order.

"Brother Jing, I have to go to Rongguo Mansion and I won't be here to accompany you," Jia Zhen put on his fur coat. "From the lying of them, the two brothers Wu Jinxiao have been in charge of the villages on both sides of the mansions for so many years, and they may have been greedy for our family. I have to let the two brothers spit out all the greedy silver!"

Jia Jing nodded, "Brother Zhen will be there!"

Not to mention that Jia Zhen rushed straight to Rongguo Mansion in anger. Jia Jing was idle and walked to the ancestral hall with no worries, watching the servants packing up the offerings under the supervision of Lai Er.

New Year's Eve.

On this morning, early in the morning, every household cleaned the house and then changed the door gods, couplets, signs and other items. For a moment, the entire Kyoto of God became completely renewed.

Before dawn, Jia Mu and other wives who had decrees were already wearing court uniforms according to their ranks, sitting in sedan chairs carried by eight people, and together with Jia She, Jia Jing and others, they went to the palace to congratulate and celebrate.

There was no such incident in previous years, but who made Yuanchun be named a concubine this year?

The Jia family now belongs to the royal family!

As a royal relative, when New Year's Eve, don't you have to go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings honestly!

Of course, the matter of entering the palace to congratulate you seems quite burdensome in Jia Jing's eyes, but in fact, in the eyes of Jia Zheng and others, this is an extremely honorable thing.

The kind that shines the family and glorifies the ancestors!

...

When they arrived in the palace, the Jia family, led by the Xiaohuangmen who led the way, divided them into two routes.

Jia Mu and others went straight to the harem with the family of other concubines; while the men were taken directly to Fengxian Hall to pay homage to Emperor Hongde.

In the order of seniority and seniority, batches of royal relatives went to Emperor Hongde to pay New Year's greetings, and Emperor Hongde nodded lightly.

When Jia Jing and his party entered the hall to worship, Emperor Hongde and others saluted, they came down and pulled Jia Jing up from the ground.

Then, Emperor Hongde pulled Jia Jing and asked with great concern, which made Jia Jing feel what jealous eyes were.
