Chapter 314 Chinese New Year

The time has entered the twelfth lunar month, and Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng are busy attending to their annual affairs. They are very busy.

Mrs. Wang had no time to pay attention to Jia Huan, and Jia Huan felt more at ease.

It happened that the school was also on holiday, so Jia Huan spent most of his time outside the house to play and actually do serious things.

After Jia Tanchun found out, he asked Shishu to call Jia Huan, hoping to call him to his side and scold him.

She felt that this younger brother was too disappointing.

Jia Huan didn't give Jia Tanchun any face.

Jia Tanchun told him to go and he went?

He's not going.

This time, Jia Tanchun was so angry that he loudly expressed that he would never care about this scumbag brother again.

Mrs. Wang raised her lips after hearing the report.

He asked someone to send Jia Tanchun a piece of clothing material to appease Jia Tanchun.

Aunt Zhao ran to Jia Huan's yard for Jia Tanchun, scolded Jia Huan, and ordered Jia Huan to apologize to Jia Tanchun.

Jia Huan escaped from Aunt Zhao's ear-pulling attack and ran away. Aunt Zhao was so angry that she scolded her in the yard, but there was nothing she could do to Jia Huan.

Now Jia Huan is out of her control.

It was the monthly payment, because Mrs. Wang sent it directly to Jia Huan and not to Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao was defrauded of a large sum of money by Ma Daopo. After Ma Daopo died, she could not get the money back.

She was panicking because she had no money, so Aunt Zhao was just as desperate as Mrs. Xing.

Jia Huan went to the spy base camp.

It's the end of the year, and the work of the spy is busier than usual.

At this time, there were frequent contacts between the princes and noble families, and more information could be obtained from them.

Jia Huan saw Xue Tadang, Jiang Yuhan and Chen Qi here. They were here to report on their work.

Chen Qi's kung fu has reached a certain level now, and it is extremely easy to get in and out of Chen's house.

Xue Biao stood respectfully at the bottom, listening to the reports of others.

Occasionally I looked up and saw Jia Huan sitting in the seat with a solemn expression, and I felt extremely torn.

Is the person in front of me really Mr. Huan from Rongguo Mansion?

It’s not just people who look alike, right?

This aura was even stronger than his uncle's, and even the head of the Rongguo Mansion, Mr. Jia She, couldn't compare to him.

By the way, how did he, a concubine, grow up to be like this?

It wasn't until Xue Biao met Chen Qi and learned about Chen Qi's training in the spy camp that he found out why Jia Huan was so powerful.

Of course he was still wrong.

Jia Huan was not trained by the spy camp.

Jia Huan stayed in the spy camp all day, and returned to Rongguo Mansion when the lights were almost out at night.

Xiao Jixiang left dinner for Jia Huan, but it was already cold.

Fortunately, Jia Huan had already eaten outside, so he kept the dinner. When he goes out tomorrow, he can give it to the beggars outside.

The days passed in a hurry, and the end of the year came in a blink of an eye.

It's time to worship ancestors.

Although Jia Zhen is unwilling to come out to meet people, as the patriarch of the Jia family, he must come forward at this time.

When Jia Huan met Jia Zhen, he found that she was almost ten years older than before, had gained at least thirty kilograms, and was completely out of shape.

It is said that after this guy became inhumane, he became obsessed with eating and drinking, and did not go out to exercise, so he ate himself up and became a big fat man.

Seeing Jia Zhen's current appearance, many people in Rongguo Mansion did not dare to recognize him.

But even if she becomes fat, Jia Zhen still has to do what the patriarch should do.

He ordered people to open the ancestral hall, clean it, pack the offerings, invite the god, clean the upper chamber, and clean the ancestors' spiritual tablets.

Jia Mu got up early in the morning, put on a formal dress, and led a group of juniors to Ningguo Mansion.

The younger members of the Jia family lined up in front of the Ning Mansion, waiting for Jia Mu to go to the ancestral hall.

This was not the first time for Jia Huan to come to the ancestral hall, and he was very familiar with everything here. Even the couplets at the entrance of the ancestral hall, he knew by heart: "The liver and brain are wiped out, and the surname is due to the kindness of the nurse; the fame is spread throughout the world, and it has been tasted for hundreds of generations."

"

This couplet was handwritten by the previous generation Yan Shenggong.

The Confucius family of Yanshenggong is very famous. They are the descendants of Confucius and are the most respected family among scholars.

Every powerful family is proud to have the handwriting of the Yansheng family.

The Jia family had a double-gong family and was extremely prominent. It was normal for Yanshenggong to write couplets to the Jia family.

In addition to the couplets written by Yan Shenggong, there are also couplets written by the late emperor himself in the Jia family ancestral hall.

"His deeds shine brightly in the sun and moon, and his fame reaches his children and grandchildren forever."

"My descendants have inherited the good fortune from my descendants, and my concubine still misses Rong Ning."

Of course, this late emperor was not Emperor Xiyuan, the father of Emperor Longzheng, but the father of Emperor Xiyuan.

Jia Huan saw other imperial brushes of the late emperor in the palace.

The late emperor's calligraphy was not very good, not as good as that of Emperor Xiyuan and Emperor Longzheng.

Emperor Xiyuan's calligraphy was the best, while Emperor Longzheng's painting skills were better.

In the train room in my mind, everyone in the Jia family has been arranged in different classes.

Because of the ancestor worship at the end of the year, Jia Jing, a guy who has been staying in the Taoist temple all year round, also came back.

He is the chief priest, Jia She is accompanying the sacrifice, Jia Zhen is offering the title, Jia Lian, Jia Cong is offering the silk, Jia Cong is holding the incense, Jia Chang, Jia Ling is displaying the worship blanket, and guarding the burning pond.

Jia Huan is the concubine of the second wife and is not qualified to participate in the above affairs.

However, his position was relatively far forward, and he could see the female family members standing on the threshold.

As the direct grandson of the eldest son, Jia Rong is the only one qualified to accompany the female family members and stand on the threshold.

Because it was the Jia family's ancestor worship, relatives and female family members such as Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu would not come. However, Xue Baoqin was recognized by Mrs. Wang as her daughter and was qualified to participate in the Jia family's ancestor worship.

After the ancestor worship was completed, Jia Mu took the people from Rongguo Mansion back.

Youshi asked to stay, but Jiamu refused because they were busy with affairs in their house.

Jia Huan happily followed everyone.

After that was the time he was most looking forward to.

Lucky money!

After returning home, from Jia Mu on down, the elder masters will give new year's money to the younger generation.

Although Jia Huan is not taken seriously, after all, he is a serious member of the Jia family and can get a lot of new year's money.

Moreover, those gold, peanut, and silver objects were made very beautifully. They were not just used to exchange for money, but they were also collected. Even in modern times, they are still works of art.

Jia Huan received a purse from Jia's mother, Mrs. Jia Shexing, Mrs. Wang, and also received a purse from Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng.

Returning to his yard, Jia Huan poured out all the contents of his purse. The total gold and silver were worth ten taels of silver.

Don't underestimate ten taels of silver. To a wealthy family, these ten taels of silver are nothing, but they are enough for an ordinary family's living expenses for half a year.

If it is a poor family, it will be enough to cover their living expenses for several years.

After sitting in the yard for a while, Jia Huan went to the flower hall again.

The banquet has already been set up here, just waiting for the master of the Jia family to come to the table.

Men and women sat at the table separately, and everyone celebrated the New Year's Eve dinner together.

Outside, the servants were also eating, drinking, talking and laughing. There was a lot of noise, chatter and chatter, and firecrackers were setting off in an endless stream.
