"I, Jia Hui, come to see the emperor and your majesty!"
"Ah, Jinyu is here! Come here quickly, let me take a look!"
The emperor seemed very happy to see the junior whom he had not seen for eight months.
The emperor also smiled and looked at Jia Hui, who stood up and walked over. This time, he was able to control the situation from beginning to end and quickly eliminate the remnants of Qianliang, and Jia Hui was indispensable.
If the White Lotus Sect finds the right time to suddenly break out, and if the attack plan learned from the Liang Army prisoners is carried out, at least there will be big problems in Jiangnan, Zhejiang and even Fujian.
Moreover, there must be spies in Taungoo who are constantly paying attention to all the troubles in Daqi. If Taungoo takes advantage of the White Lotus Sect's rebellion and attacks at the same time, it will start a war on both sides. Even if Daqi can suppress both parties in the end, the loss will not be something Daqi can bear now.
Natural disasters are becoming more frequent.
While the emperor was thinking, Jia Hui had already arrived in front of the emperor.
"Okay, okay, Xiao Hui'er has grown into a man who can stand upright and take charge of his own affairs. If that old boy Daishan knew about it, he must be very happy." The emperor looked at Jia Hui's increasingly resolute face carefully, and was very pleased. It's emotion.
Jia Hui could only laugh naively.
"Come on, sit down quickly."
The young eunuch took a short pillar and placed it in front of the emperor's couch. Jia Hui thanked him and sat on it.
"How about it? Did that old guy Dai Quan show you the heads of those minions?" the emperor asked Chao Jia Hui.
Upon hearing this, Jia Hui quickly stood up from the short ridge again.
"How can I be so virtuous as the emperor?"
"Oh, get up, I'm so tired of kneeling all the time. This is because the people in Dongchang are greedy. They will be greedy for you today, but if you don't know, they will be greedy for others in the future, even mine." When the emperor saw Jia Hui, he wanted to stand up and thank him, and waved his hand to Jia Hui to let him go back to his seat.
The emperor looked at the emperor, and when he saw that the emperor didn't say anything, he turned around and spoke.
"Xiaosi should have already told you about your reward."
"Yes, your Majesty has already informed me of the contents of the reward."
"Well, I only give you the false title of Lieutenant this time, and your reputation is not very good. I feel wronged to you."
"Your Majesty's words are serious. I like the title of Taiwei very much."
Then he briefly asked about some miscellaneous matters related to post-war recovery and the separation of Jiangnan. Jia Hui's visit this time was originally a routine interview after returning to Beijing. After saying some casual words, the emperor sent Jia Hui away. .
Still walking with Dai Quan.
Outside Xiyuan, Jia Hui personally handed a forearm-high sandalwood box to Dai Quan, leaving two large boxes for the young eunuchs behind Dai Quan.
This is a great luck thing that was given to the Second Saint to suppress.
Phew, I have finished all the necessary things after returning to Beijing, and I can finally go home!
. . . . . .
Half an hour ago, Rongguo Mansion.
The men of the two houses have a day off today.
There is no other reason, the general and Aunt Min are back home!
The direct descendants of the two houses, including Jia Lian, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang, finally escaped from the hands of Mrs. Jiao, and they could finally go home and take a breather.
Jia Zhu was also released from the intense review. The 18th of this month was the spring of this year.
It was Jia She who felt sorry for his nephew, so he opened Jia Zheng's arm that was blocking the way, and personally entered Jia Zhu's study and dragged him out.
"Today, his aunt's family and his eldest brother finally came back from Jiangnan. Let Brother Zhu take a good rest and take a breather!"
So Jia Zhu, who was locked in the study by Jia Zheng and almost became an adult, was finally rescued by his uncle.
"Come, come, my aunt is back!"
A young boy ran over from the east with a face full of joy and announced the good news to the gentlemen waiting outside the Yimen.
"It's finally here!"
Everyone looked towards the door.
Dozens of horsemen escorted dozens of carriages heading towards Rongguo Mansion.
"Yu'er, look, this is the eldest house of your maternal grandfather's family." In the carriage, Jia Min suppressed her excitement and pointed to the duke's mansion in the east with the plaque "Ningguo Mansion built by imperial decree".
"Ningguo Mansion?" Daiyu looked up at the majestic mansion guarded by two mighty stone lions.
Somehow, Daiyu just felt that there was something unspeakably dirty about this mansion?
"Yu'er, Yu'er, look, that's Rongguo Mansion, your maternal grandfather's home, that's your mother's natal home!" Seeing the mansion with the plaque "Emperor-built Rongguo Mansion" appear in the field of view, Jia Min couldn't stand it anymore. Unable to suppress her inner excitement, Daiyu shook, with a hint of crying in her voice.
The carriage turned into the driveway and entered the house through the side door. The men of the Jia family who were staying at the Yimen quickly went down the steps to greet them.
The carriage stopped, and Jia Min couldn't bear the longing in her heart anymore, so she lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car.
"Big brother, second brother!"
Jia Min shouted to the two of them with red eyes, crying, and walked quickly towards the two brothers.
"Oh, my poor little sister!" Jia She also started to howl and moved towards Jia Min.
"Brother!"
Jia Min started to shed tears, and she reached out to grab Jia She's sleeve, but Jia She nimbly dodged it with a feint.
Jia Min froze on the spot, crying and turned to look at her elder brother who was walking towards another carriage, with confusion on his face.
Oops, I forgot about my wife!
"My dear aunt, Jia She has come to greet you! Come on, I will help you down!"
Jia She stepped on the stairs and stretched out his hand to help lift the car curtain. He then stretched out his other hand and let the old lady of the Lin family help him out of the car.
"My in-laws, my junior Jia Zheng is here to give you a gift. My mother was really happy for several days when she heard that you were coming. The family has prepared a soft sedan for you."
While Jia Zheng was bowing to Mother Lin to speak, Jia She had already helped the old lady to the soft sedan, then opened the sedan curtain and helped Mother Lin sit in.
Only then did Jia She look back at his sister with red and swollen eyes.
"Why is your chin gone?"
".I want you to take care of it!"
Jia Min glared at the elder brother who interrupted her mood, turned around and walked to the carriage. She opened the curtain first and pulled out her daughter who looked like she had been "abandoned by her mother".
When he reached Jia She's side, he stopped again.
"I ate too much during pregnancy and gained weight!"
He looked down at Daiyu again.
"Yu'er, these are your eldest uncle and second uncle, call someone quickly!"
Daiyu raised her head and looked at the two middle-aged men who looked somewhat similar to her mother, and bowed down.
"First uncle, second uncle!"
"Hey, hey, good boy, good boy"
Brother Jia She had not seen his niece for a long time. He was very happy to see his niece being so polite and well-behaved, and said that he would send the meeting gift to the small courtyard where Jia Min would live later.
The Lin family's house in Luoyang was a nobility property. As the title was taken back, it was also taken away by the court. They have never bought a house in Luoyang, only a medium-sized house in Peiping. So I asked the Jia family to help find a house that matched my identity.
Finally, the house was chosen, which was three mansions away from Li Wan's mother's house. Most of the people living here were noble officials from the Hanlin Academy, the Imperial Academy, the Imperial College, and the Ministry of Rites. Lin Ruhai immediately decided to go with it!
However, the beams and the like in this house were somewhat deformed, so they decided to tear it down and rebuild it. It is estimated that it will take at least two months before they can move in again. Therefore, the female relatives of the Lin family temporarily lived in Rongguo Mansion before the Lin Mansion was built.
It just so happened that Jia Min could live happily at her parents' house, and Mrs. Lin could also have someone to talk to.
The Lin family is still too small, and Lin Ruhai is often too busy to stay home. On weekdays, Lin's mother and Jia Min's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are also very lonely.
The nanny brought little Chengyu over again, and Jia Min brought her over and showed off her big fat boy to her two brothers as if to show off. After the two brothers teased her for a while, they rushed Jia Min to take him with her. The two siblings got on the sedan chair and entered the Yimen towards the Hall of Rongxi.
We really can't stay any longer. These women should not be entertained by men like them. They should meet behind closed doors in the backyard in a few days.
However, today's situation is special. The mother-in-law is here. As juniors, the two brothers Jia She still have to go over and pay a visit. In addition, the general returns to the house today, and these men have to go out to welcome him in person. They are waiting for the general. When the general was returning home, he ran into his sister and it wouldn't be too rude to go up and say a few words.
As the soft sedan entered the Yimen, the servants of the Lin family stopped there and followed the servants of the Jia family down to rest. Only the maids and women followed the soft sedan and walked in.
In Rongxi Hall, Mother Lin was meeting with Mother Jia, and Jia Minniang and her three also came to Mother Jia's courtyard.
"Mrs!"
Jia Min couldn't help but shed tears once. She handed her son to her mother-in-law and walked a few steps quickly to Jia's mother.
Jia's mother also saw her little daughter, who was thinking about her day and night, and hugged Jia Min, her heartfelt screams, and started to cry loudly. Everyone who was standing there covered their faces and wept.
Seeing her mother being so rude, Daiyu, who was following closely behind her, couldn't help crying. Upon seeing this, Jia Mu also reached out her hand to hug her granddaughter, and the three of them started crying together.
Mother Lin sighed. Her daughter-in-law had been separated from her mother's family for several years. Although she usually looked optimistic in front of her husband, in private, she heard her daughter-in-law hiding more than once when she learned that she could not return to Beijing. Crying loudly in your own yard.
Now that she finally meets her mother-in-law, whom she hasn’t seen for a long time, let her have a good time.
But it's okay to cry like this.
Mother Lin took her little grandson from her mother-in-law's arms. She walked forward without saying a word, just teasing her little grandson.
Hearing the soft laughter of a baby, Jia Mu also came to her senses and turned her head to look in the direction of the sound.
A plump little cub was flapping its legs happily in Mother Lin's arms.
"Oh, Min'er, Yu'er, this is my grandson Chengyu, right? He looks really promising, my mother-in-law."
"Haha, Chengyu, this is your dear grandmother. Come on, call me grandma." Mother Lin introduced little Chengyu, while handing him to Mother Jia for a hug. Chengyu was not afraid of being born, and just watched quietly. Her grandmother's kind face looked at her quietly with her big watery eyes.
Seeing her mother hugging Chengyu and staring at her, Jia Min stopped crying, took Daiyu in hand and began to greet the people around her.
With sharp eyes, she spotted the young lady with a big belly leaning on the lounge chair.
It turns out to be my nephew-in-law Li Wan
She also met Li Wan when he was a child.
Without greeting Li Wan first, Jia Min just glanced at her narrowly, then turned around and started greeting Mrs. Xing.
"Oh my, this is Sister Xing, my sister is here to greet you." This was the first time I saw the eldest brother's continuation.
Mrs. Xing also stood up and returned the salute, and Daiyu followed suit and saluted Mrs. Xing.
After another polite conversation, Daiyu received a hosta.
Then it was Mrs. Wang's turn.
"I've met the second sister-in-law." Jia Min smiled and saluted Mrs. Wang. She stood up straight before Mrs. Wang could react, while Daiyu saluted seriously.
Mrs. Wang's hand rubbing the rosary suddenly paused, and she glanced at Jia Min with neither joy nor sadness, and then stood up and returned the greeting to Jia Min.
"Mrs. Gu." Just like Jia Min, Mrs. Wang straightened up immediately, then looked at Daiyu with a smile, encouraged her a little, and reluctantly gave her a small gift.
She didn't want to give it to her at first, but Mrs. Xing gave it to her. If she didn't give it to her, wouldn't she be weak?
Daiyu received a pair of silver hairpins.
"Come on, Yu'er, this is your sister-in-law Hui, call someone quickly!" Without even wanting to say polite words to Wang Shuqing, Jia Min pulled Daiyu and came to the pregnant woman.
Li Wan was about to stand up and salute Jia Min, but Jia Min held his shoulders to prevent him from getting up, so he had to give up.
"Daiyu has met Sister-in-law Hui!"
Is this my eldest cousin’s wife?
She feels so tall
Seeing Li Wan's long legs hidden under her skirt, who was lying on the lounge chair, Daiyu couldn't help but sigh.
"Is this my little nephew?" Daiyu thought curiously as she looked at Li Wan's big belly.
"Come on, sister, this is welcoming the spring, this is exploring the spring, and this one is eating your hands. Put your hands down quickly, this one is celebrating the spring."
Li Wan pulled Xichun over and wiped her hands with a towel, then called some little sisters to come over and introduce them to Daiyu.
Several little sisters greeted each other and quickly became familiar with each other.
Yingchun is the largest, followed by Daiyu, Tanchun and the smallest is Xichun.
It's a happy time in Jia Mu's courtyard
. . . . . .
The women of the Jia family entertained the women of the Lin family, and the men of the Jia family also came to the gate, waiting for the general to return home.
Unlike when the Lin family came over, the street was already filled with men from all the Jia family's houses.
Jia Hui's soldiers had just come back to tell everyone that the general was returning. The men who had already dressed up at home also left their homes and came to the street to wait.
There was a sound of horse hooves, and the men who were still chatting quickly became quiet and looked towards the west end of the street.
The horseshoes were getting closer and closer, and a few cavalrymen took the lead in turning the corner. Suddenly, a large fluttering red bird flag fluttering in the wind appeared in front of the men of the Jia family.
"The general is victorious!"
"Brother Hui is well done!"
"Brother Hui!"
"Uncle Hui is victorious!"
The men of the Jia family instantly became excited and cheered towards Jia Hui.
"Hahahahaha!"
Jia Hui also turned into Ningrong Street, laughing and waving to his relatives.
Although everyone was fanatical, they were not ignorant. Jia Hui quickly walked to the gate of Rongguo Mansion.
"Father, second uncle, brother Zhen!"
Jia Hui jumped off the horse and strode towards Jia She and others to greet them.
"Brother!"
"Uncle Hui!"
The juniors also saluted Jia Hui.
After a while of greetings, and just as he was about to enter, Jia Hui turned around as if he had thought of something and looked at the expectant clansmen.
"Now that dinner is ready, all uncles, brothers and old ladies, please open it for me to eat!"
"Ouch!!!"
I have long seen the tables and chairs hidden in the alley!
