Chapter 379 Things Are Different Now (Please Subscribe)
Because the affairs in the court, coupled with the saucy maneuvers of the clan and nobles, attracted the attention of most people from the outside world, Jia Huan's return to the capital did not cause much disturbance.
After all, what should be rewarded today has been rewarded, and there will not be another wave.
Jia Huan happened to be happy and free!
No matter what, he is now one of the big bosses in the military.
It is impossible to hide him in the snow nowadays, and it is easy to fall into the disputes in the court.
To be honest, Jia Huan really doesn't want to deal with those old foxes in the cabinet.
Everyone has different ideas and different goals, and there is no common language at all.
Here, after dealing with the current emperor, Jia Huan had a month and a half of vacation.
It just so happened that not long after returning, it was the wedding of Xue Pan and Yingchun.
No matter how little the eldest son paid attention to the concubine Yingchun, it was impossible for Mrs.
Likewise, Wang Xifeng invited Mrs. Xing back a few days in advance.
In order to avoid embarrassment, the Xue family gave a very generous betrothal gift. By the way, they also secretly added some wealth to Yingchun, and got fifty-four sets of dowry when they got married.
Of course, the makeup gifts given by the sisters are quite expensive.
Especially Shi Xiangyun, who came here specially this time and brought out a set of quite high-end jewelry.
Although the elder did not attend the wedding due to physical discomfort, the wedding was still quite festive and lively.
Everyone is understanding and doesn’t pay too much attention to this.
Of course, it is an indisputable fact that the elder’s body is not very agile!
When Xue Pan communicated with Jia Huan in private, he lamented that the elder was aging too fast.
It’s only been a few years since I last saw him, and I almost didn’t recognize him the first time!
"You kid, don't think that Sister Yingchun doesn't have the support of her family!"
Jia Huan smiled and warned: "If I hear any bad news, you know the consequences!"
"Brother Huan, don't worry!"
Xue Pan patted his chest and promised, "I'm not that kind of person!"
Jia Huan still trusts this guy. As long as no one deliberately sows discord between them, Yingchun's married life will not be too bad.
The old lady came forward in person, and even the concubine Yuan in the palace sent congratulatory gifts, which was considered quite impressive.
The key is that the leader of the team sending off the bride is Jia Cong, a rookie in the army, which gives the Xue family plenty of face.
Among the guests, almost all distinguished families sent representatives.
People like Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan, who had a good relationship, all came to drink and celebrate in person.
Ahem, these two guys had previously served under Jia Huan.
Especially Wei Ruolan, Jia Huan can be said to be his savior!
Back in the southwest, Wei Ruolan escaped by staying behind.
Unfortunately, the Qianxiang State Treasury invaded, and the logistics base guarded by Wei Ruolan was in danger.
It wasn't that they didn't have the troops to defend themselves, but that the Southwest Army at that time had lost morale.
If they were to face each other directly, Wei Ruolan would probably die on the southwest battlefield just like the original version of Red Mansion.
It was also her good luck. Just when his troops were about to be unable to withstand it, Jia Huan's forward troops came to support and repulsed the invading Qianxiang army. Wei Ruolan naturally saved a life.
After that, Wei Ruolan followed Jia Huan and swept across the southwest, even burning the flames of war into the territory of Qianxiang Kingdom.
After this battle, Wei Ruolan was promoted to the fifth rank of garrison due to his meritorious service, and officially became a mid-level military attache in the army.
If he continues to stay in the southwest, he might become a fourth-grade capital in a few years.
You know, there is a huge thirst for experienced and capable military attachés there.
Wei Ruolan was just right, and he had the legacy of his father, General Wei. If he was determined to develop in the Southwest Army, it would not be a problem to become a general in charge of the first army at the age of thirty.
It's a pity that Wei Ruolan has no intention of staying. Maybe he has a psychological shadow?
Or maybe he doesn't want to get involved in the dispute between the previous Nan'an County King and the current Nan'an County King?
So, follow Jia Huan back to Beijing!
Today, he is quite generous and directly transfers Wei Ruolan and his men into the Beijing camp.
It’s hard to say what kind of development it will have in the future, but at least there will be no problem in supporting the lintel.
He is now less than twenty years old, and he is already guarding real power.
Even among a group of noble disciples of the same age, they are all quite outstanding!
Of course, with his father, General Wei, dying in the southwest border, the Wei family's momentum will definitely weaken to a certain extent, but the situation is much stronger than that of Ning Rong's second mansion.
It was also because Wei Ruolan came back alive that Shi Xiangyun didn't become a little widow!
In order to repay her kindness, and because she has a very cheerful temperament, she was very generous when adding makeup for the Spring Festival, and Wei Ruolan's instruction was probably there!
As for Feng Ziying, the situation is much simpler than Wei Ruolan.
This guy originally joined the Beijing camp and followed Jia Huan when he led the army to the northwest.
Later, he was promoted to the post of General Qian due to his merit, and then followed Jia Huan to the southwest to participate in the war.
In the southwest, he gained a lot of military exploits, and now he has been promoted to the position of false capital.
Under Jia Huan, he directly commanded an elite light cavalry of 500 people, belonging to the elite of the army.
This time he returned to the capital with Jia Huan and also entered the Beijing camp sequence.
Because he is a cavalry attaché, his future and development momentum are much better than Wei Ruolan's.
The reason why it developed so smoothly is naturally because he has been Jia Huan's confidant since he entered the army. Even if he knows about it now, he will look down upon him.
I heard that his father, Shenwu General Feng Tang, was quite satisfied with his performance, and even called him Qilinzi of the Feng family. He had obviously become a core member of the direct family line.
Not just them, but also several familiar companions.
Anyone who participated in the martial arts competition in the same class as Jia Huan and entered the military immediately will have a certain development, especially those who followed Jia Huan on the expedition.
It can be said that with the rise of brothers Jia Huan and Jia Cong, noble children of the same age group have also begun to exert their strength, and some have already performed well in the military.
Of course, most of them are still being playboys, and it’s hard to say whether they can keep up in the future.
These guys have a certain relationship with Xue Pan.
The reason why he personally attended the wedding of Xue Pan and Yingchun was naturally for the sake of brothers Jia Huan and Jia Cong. Of course, the Xue family at this time also deserves attention.
It doesn't matter if it's a little rude if Jia Baoyu comes to receive these friends.
However, as an old lady from Yingchun Niang's family, her face looked ugly for a moment when she saw Jia Baoyu hanging out with a group of rookies in the army.
No comparison, no harm!
In the past, how could she take such noble children as Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan into consideration?
Although they are all direct descendants of the family, they are not the direct descendants who are most valued by the family. In comparison, Jia Baoyu's advantage is much greater.
But how long has it been?
Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan emerged in the army one by one. At this time, Jia Baoyu had not yet been admitted as a scholar, and the gap had widened.
So what if Jia Baoyu is the most valued direct descendant of Rong Mansion?
If the ability is not good, the ability is not good. Even if Yuan Bin is moved out, it will be of no use.
Unless the Yuan concubine strives to give birth to a prince, and the prince must be valued by the emperor.
Otherwise, even if Jia Baoyu wanted to take advantage of the situation, he would not be able to suppress Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan.
Not to mention Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan, Jia Baoyu couldn't hold back Jia Lan who was always following him around.
There is no way, who told Jia Lan to study hard?
Coupled with his good talent, he has successfully passed the examination as a scholar.
Now, even die-hards like Mrs. Wang have no shame to say that Jia Baoyu has any great fortune.
What kind of bullshit great fortune is that even his own nephew can’t study as well as him?
Of course, Jia Baoyu didn't feel anything about this, he just felt that his life was quite free and happy.
Since getting married, the old lady and Mrs. Wang have gradually relaxed their restraints on him.
His wife is gentle and kind-hearted and has little control over him.
This made Jia Baoyu feel unprecedentedly relaxed and happy!
My life was so carefree and comfortable, and I had no intention of changing anything.
That is to say, the Rong Mansion at this time can support his willfulness. No one can say whether it is good or bad.
Anyway, in the current Rong Mansion, there is no need for Jia Baoyu to work hard. Even if he is a purely wealthy and idle person, he can be content and comfortable.
The old lady seemed to have given up and thought this was pretty good.
As for what Mrs. Wang is thinking, brothers Jia Huan and Jia Cong don't care much anyway!
With the current environment in Rong Mansion and Jia Baoyu's temperament, it is impossible to do anything he wants!
Of course, after all, this kid has seen the world outside, so naturally he cannot be as innocent as he was in the house, and he still understands some ways of the world.
At least, when entertaining friends such as Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan, every move he made was very gentlemanly, and he treated people like a spring breeze. At least Feng Ziying and several friends were quite satisfied.
If the contact is through Jia Huan, these guys and Xue Pan are considered their own.
Not only did they think so, Xue Pan also thought so.
Therefore, Xue Pan just came over to say hello, and then went to work to entertain the other guests.
He didn't expect that all the distinguished families in the capital would send representatives, which was quite a face-saving thing.
Even when his uncle Wang Ziteng became the governor of Beijing Camp, he was not so prosperous!
Due to capacity issues, the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and the Ministry of War under the control of noble forces were not very considerate.
The other distinguished bosses all hold important positions in the military, and they won't give face if they say they won't.
But Xue Pan is different!
This guy is Jia Huanming's close ally, and this alone deserves their attention.
Not to mention, Xue Pan is one of the main logistical support parties for Prince Zhongshun's offshore exploration, and even a fleet of sea-going ships is directly involved, which is amazing.
When King Zhongshun achieves his goal and starts to grant rewards for the founding of the country, Xue Pan may be able to obtain a title from a foreign vassal. Such an existence should not be underestimated.
In short, the Xue family and Xue Pan at this time are many times stronger than those in the original Red Mansions at the same time, and their strength has been recognized by the nobles.
They also sent representatives to attend the wedding, making the wedding a very high standard.
