Chapter 287 Exclusion (Please Subscribe for a Monthly Ticket)
The main table on the female side was also full of laughter and laughter.
Qin Keqing's communication skills were perfect, and he easily made the old lady smile and she was in a good mood.
Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, who were sitting next to them, were also smiling and happy.
The feeling of being flattered without any trace of it is really not too good.
As for the release of Jia Qiang, neither the old lady nor Mrs. Wang paid much attention to it.
Unlike Mr. Zheng and Jia Lian's ideas, the old lady and Mrs. Wang did not agree with Jia Qiang's approach.
It's just that the deal is done and it's Ning Mansion's own business, so they don't bother to talk nonsense.
The one who was mentioned the most during the dinner was the Sixth Princess, who was already one year old. When she talked about it, everyone's face turned red, as if the Sixth Princess had a close relationship with them.
In fact, Rongfu Gaoming had the opportunity to go to the palace to see Yuanchun three times a month, and he only occasionally saw the sixth princess who was awake at this time, let alone had too much contact with her.
The so-called Sixth Princess is naturally the princess born to Yuanchun!
In today's era, being able to successfully pass one's first birthday is something worthy of celebration.
The current emperor did not hold a grand first-year banquet for the sixth princess. He only set up a few tables in the palace where Yuanchun lived to entertain himself. Now he only showed up and left.
The old lady and Mrs. Wang were specially allowed to attend the sixth princess's birthday party, and they were always in a good mood.
This is a rare conversation between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in recent times!
Qin Keqing and Aunt Xue were very happy on the side, which aroused the interest of the old lady and Mrs. Wang.
"Brother Rong's daughter-in-law, why do you think Brother Qiang suddenly wants to be released?"
Finally, after the old lady's interest subsided, she asked the real question.
"Old lady, the Dragon Guards are just palace guards after all!"
Qin Keqing explained: "It's easy to get in but difficult to get promoted. You must have real materials, or you have a close relationship with the royal family, otherwise it will be very difficult to get promoted!"
"Brother Qiang himself joined the Dragon Guard just because he wanted to get some gold. It just so happened that there was a suitable opportunity at the moment, so he spent some connections to manage it, so that he could be released smoothly!"
"That is to say, the source of the information is accurate and reliable, and there is a time difference to take advantage!"
"When the other gold-plated noble disciples in the Dragon Guard react, it will not be that simple to get the guard position so easily!"
"Another point is that neither the northwest nor the northeastern borders are peaceful. No one knows when there may be a war. As a martial arts disciple, you must be prepared!"
"If we were to be directly recruited today, would any of the children from that family still dare to hide?"
The old lady was shocked when she heard this, shook her head and said, "Things haven't developed to this point yet, have they?"
Mrs. Wang next to her also subconsciously tightened her handkerchief. Just the thought of Jia Baoyu possibly being drafted to the front line brings an inexplicable panic to his heart.
"All I can say is, take precautions!"
Qin Keqing said helplessly: "After all, as one of the eight founding princes of the country, if Ning Mansion wants to continue to maintain the status and dignity of the mansion in the future, it will still have to take some responsibilities at some point!"
"Otherwise, why would the royal family always attach importance to it and even give it military power?"
His words were so chilling that the ladies felt horrified in their hearts.
Even the old lady seemed to smell the iron-blooded atmosphere of the time when her father-in-law and husband often went out to fight.
"I can't live a good life, why did it become like this?"
The old lady couldn't help but murmur to herself, and Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue beside her had similar thoughts in their minds. It feels like things are a bit confusing today, and the situation has developed a bit too chaotic, right?
"Old lady, the imperial envoys sent by the imperial court to the south not long ago were all wiped out!"
"Bandits are rising all over the south, which has affected the normal exchange of information between the capital and the south!"
"A mere salt policy caused such a big commotion, and even led to the Southern powerful against the imperial court!"
"Think about how there was no Qianming. How could the current emperor not be vigilant and pay attention to it?"
Qin Keqing spoke slowly and revealed what worried the royal family the most: "The royal family is also in trouble. It involves the authority of the imperial court and the annual income of millions of taels of silver. How can it be possible to give in easily?"
The expressions of the old lady, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue gradually became dignified and even nervous.
"I have been suppressed by the emperor for many years!"
Qin Keqing's words continued: "It's hard to hold the power of the court now. If I don't make some achievements, what kind of evaluation will Zhaozhao Qingshi have in the future? How can I be willing to do so?"
"Since ancient times, the only thing that can make an emperor leave a good name in history is his military exploits!"
"In short, the war at the frontier will not only not stop, but will also become more and more intense!"
The moods of the old lady, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue suddenly became solemn, and they were no longer in the mood to eat.
Not to mention that the atmosphere at the women's table suddenly became solemn, but the girls' table was very cheerful.
Xue Baochai, the Sanchun sisters, Shi Xiangyun, who happened to be a guest, and Xue Baochai's cousin Xue Baoqin, there were several beautiful girls sitting at the same table, and it was hard not to think about the excitement.
Originally, Qin Keqing also invited Li Wan and her two cousins, as well as Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan who lived with Mrs. Xing, but unfortunately they either had something to do or made excuses to avoid it.
With the addition of Miaoyu who lives in a small temple in the Provincial Courtyard, all the residents of the Grand View Garden in the original novel Red Mansions are complete.
No, Jia Baoyu wandered over to the male guest after being a little transparent for a while.
"What are you talking about, sisters? Why are you so happy?"
This guy was not polite at all and sat down directly next to Xue Baoqin. Who told the little girl to be beautiful?
Seeing this guy coming over, the originally lively atmosphere suddenly froze. Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Brother Bao, if you don't sit at my uncle's place, why are you here at our table?"
After all, we are outside. Even if we want to distance ourselves, we should not make it too obvious.
By the way, among the guests invited by the Ning Mansion this time, there were many ethnic studies students, including Qin Zhong, but Jia Baoyu was rude not to sit there.
Of course, this guy's reputation is too bad, so he probably knows he's not likeable.
So what if the old lady and Mrs. Wang dote on her again?
The classmates secretly rejected me, which was quite unpleasant.
"Don't mention it!"
Jia Baoyu waved his hand and said: "Master, what they said is just about economic and career matters. I'm not interested!"
Fortunately, my brain wasn't broken yet and I didn't say anything unpleasant, otherwise it would have been really embarrassing.
Xue Baochai shook his head secretly, feeling very sorry for Jia Baoyu's behavior.
I haven't seen his brother Xue Pan, but I just want to come over and listen. Isn't he qualified?
When Mr. Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Qiang, and Jia Huan come together, can they talk about simple matters?
It was uncertain, but he was casually involved in important court affairs. This was a rare opportunity for the Xue family, but Jia Baoyu didn't take it seriously.
Xue Baochai was certain that Jia Baoyu would be like this for the rest of his life.
Unless one day he suddenly wakes up and works hard to become stronger, at most he will have an idle life as a prince-in-law.
If something happens, what Qingxian's consort can do is just a dispensable existence. I don't know if Jia Baoyu understands it in his heart?
It can only be said that individuals have their own destiny!
