Chapter 201 The third master arrived at Yangzhou for the first time

Jinling, Zhen Mansion, Anning Hall.

When it comes to wealth, this place can be regarded as the most luxurious place Jia Huan has ever seen.

All the furniture in the house is either golden nanmu or good-quality yellow rosewood. None of them are ordinary products, and they are extremely particular.

There are not only thirty or forty maids and mothers serving in the courtyard.

In addition, the flowers placed in the house are treasures that have been found with great effort.

It can be said that the place of Jia Mu can collect all the good things from Rongguo Mansion together, but compared with this place, it is really incomparable and is a little different.

Jia Huan was surprised. To be honest, it is probably difficult to find a palace in the palace that can compare to this place. You can imagine how rich and noble the Zhen family in Jiangnan was.

After coming back to his senses, Zhen Baoyu led Jia Huan in, and four or five girls dressed in big maids quickly lifted the cotton curtain and bead curtain.

As soon as I entered the house, I suddenly felt that the warm current was coming towards me since ancient times.

Right in front of me, a kind-hearted old lady was lying on a soft chair, with several maids knocking on her legs and massaged her.

Just after the maid who was massaged by Mrs. Zhen saw Zhen Baoyu and Jia Huan, she whispered in the ear of Mrs. Zhen: "Old lady, Mr. Bao is here!"

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Zhen immediately opened her eyes. Sure enough, after seeing Zhen Baoyu, she smiled happily and said, "How come you, monkey, have time to come here? Why don't you come here quickly, your ancestors miss you to death!"

While talking, he waved his hand to signal Zhen Baoyu to step forward.

I think I am used to doing such casual and natural movements on weekdays.

Zhen Baoyu looked embarrassed and said embarrassedly: "Great my grandson to my ancestors. The Jia Huan brothers from the Jia family in Shenjing are here to pay special attention to my ancestors!"

Seeing that Mrs. Zhen turned her eyes to her, Jia Huan quickly bowed and said with a smile: "Jia Huan, Jia Huan, I have met Mrs. Zhen. I wish you good health and good luck!

Before leaving, the ancestors in the family asked Jia Huan to say hello to you specifically!"

Although Mrs. Zhen didn't know who Jia Huan was, she thought that the one who could come to this place to pay homage to her must be relatives and juniors. Seeing that Jia Huan was so respectful, she quickly smiled and said, "Good kid, good kid, don't be too polite. The ground is cold, get up quickly, get up quickly!"

After Zhen Baoyu and Jia Huan got up, a maid brought the newly brewed tea.

While pulling Zhen Baoyu, Old Mrs. Zhen looked at Jia Huan carefully, but her eyes might be invisible, so she put on the reading glasses hanging on her chest.

After a while, Old Mrs. Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said, "It turns out that she is a good child. She is not only handsome, but also well-behaved and sensible. I think your ancestors like you the most."

"The old lady is too proud." Jia Huan said with a smile.

At this moment, Zhen Baoyu acted as a tool and told Old Mrs. Zhen about his knowledge of Jia Huan.

Soon, there was a hint of surprise in Old Mrs. Zhen's deep eyes and the smile on her face became even more.

He waved his hand casually and signaled the others to go out, leaving only a few useful maids to serve in the house. Then he heard her smile and say, "Brother Huan is so promising. Unexpectedly, at a young age, he already has a reputation as a Juren, and he also supports the huge Ningguo Mansion, and the Jia family has successors."

As she changed her voice, she smiled and said, "Sister Shi is in good health? Time flies so fast. I haven't seen her for many years. I never thought that decades will pass in a flash."

Upon hearing this, Jia Huan nodded and smiled, "Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a passing day. The ancients often talked about the flash of time, but I think it was nothing more than that.

The ancestors at home are in good health and eat well. On weekdays, I have a few sisters and sisters at home, as well as my second brother, so I live a leisurely life.

Today, Jia Huan took the liberty to visit and disturb the old lady's resting, which was really a pity."

"Brother Huan is so serious. It is a pleasure to have a younger generation come. Besides, you and I are old relatives and family friends. The two families have been extremely intimate in recent years.

I just regret that I am old and have difficulty in legs and feet, so I can only stay in the small yard all day long and can’t go anywhere.

Otherwise, I might as well go to Shenjing to bother your ancestors." Old Mrs. Zhen said with a smile.

Then he continued: "Baoyu just said that you came to Jiangnan to study. Jiangnan has frequently produced talents and academies. There are also great scholars like Lord Zhang and Lord Wang. I think they will definitely gain something.

When you get back to your studies, you may have a talented person of the top three in your family.

By then, I'm afraid your ancestors will be really happy..."

Perhaps it was because she liked Jia Huan, and the good words from Old Mrs. Zhen kept appearing, but those eyes were staring at Jia Huan's expression, which was probably worth considering.

Jia Huan just smiled slightly, with no rebellious expression on his face, he just listened respectfully, and then said with a smile: "Then let me borrow the words of the old lady.

Jiangnan has indeed emerged in many talented people, and most of the literati and poets today are in Jiangnan. This is the same idea for boys to travel to Jiangnan. If they can return after learning, they will naturally be happy.

Another one, the boy has been in Shenjing for a long time and has been in charge of Ningguo Mansion. He only feels that the burden on him is much heavier. If he can achieve one or two fame in the future, he will also have more confidence in supporting the Ningguo lineage."

"Brother Huan is indeed a good child. He has such ambitions at a young age. It really makes his old man jealous of your old lady." Old Mrs. Zhen said with a smile.

Then he looked at Zhen Baoyu beside him, full of love, and smiled at Jia Huan, "If your second brother Bao can work as hard as you, even if you close your eyes immediately, you will be willing."

"Old ancestor!" Zhen Baoyu said coquettishly and felt very moved.

Seeing the two getting along like this, Jia Huan also smiled and said, "Brother Bao is so talented, he will definitely be on the list in the future. Old Lady doesn't have to worry."

"Hahaha, I think so too."

At dusk, Old Mrs. Zhen kept Jia Huan for dinner. When Zhen Yingjia brought a few young juniors to accompany him, the guest and the host and guests were having fun.

After saying goodbye to Zhen’s house, he returned to the inn to rest.

In the next few days, Jia Huan visited various families. Although the Jia family in Jinling kept him out, it did not affect the warm hospitality of other families.

Especially the Xue family, they were extremely enthusiastic. Not only did the middle door open, but from top to bottom, all the Xue family members who had some status came to accompany them.

Among them, Jia Huan naturally also met Xue Ke and Xue Baoqin's brother and sister, and talked about many interesting things in Xue Baoqin's admiration.

On October 12th, it started to drizzle in the sky, making the already cold weather even more bone-black.

Above a large ship, Jia Huan led a few maids, sitting around the stove to keep warm and watch the scenery, drinking warm hot tea and watching the scenery along the way, it was very comfortable, with the artistic conception of "green ant fresh wine, red mud stove. It's snowing in the evening, and you can drink a cup without a drink."

Going down the river, just in the early morning of the next day, Jia Huan and his party arrived at the Yangzhou Prefecture. After about an hour, they had arrived at the Yangzhou Wharf.

When Jia Huan stepped on the shore, the housekeeper of Lin Ruhai's family had already been waiting there with more than a dozen servants and mothers.

"I have met Master Huan San, old slave Lin Ping'an. I came to welcome Master Huan San, on the order of my master."
