When the general returned home after winning the battle, he naturally wanted to have a lively meal.
Ningrong Street outside the mansion was naturally filled to the brim again with tables set up by the Jia family. Upon hearing that it was a banquet to celebrate the general's victory, several master chefs invited from famous restaurants led a group of apprentices down the hall. Have the energy to host this banquet.
Naturally, the head chef has to go into the house to personally prepare banquets for the general and nobles.
It was almost evening when Jia Hui returned home, so after greeting a few elders, everyone went directly to the table.
After eating half full, Jia Hui and several brothers went to the street to drink a lot of wine with the tribesmen, carrying wine bottles and glasses.
Something unpleasant happened during this period. Baoyu came back from his uncle's house and saw his beautiful sister. He approached her and asked if there was any jade.
With a look of sorrow and indignation, he took off the psychic jade from his neck and shouted, "What a rare thing. It doesn't even make a distinction between high and low people, and it says it's psychic or not! I don't want any more trouble!"
He was about to throw the jade and go crazy, but when he raised his head to see the reaction of the old lady who loved him the most, his eyes met Jia Hui's narrowed red phoenix eyes that exuded anger and evil spirit, and his mind suddenly became a blur. Blank, a warm current flowed down from my crotch
Jia Hui was so frightened that she peed her pants.
When he realized what he was doing, he was about to cry when he heard his father shout angrily, "Evil!" The sound that was about to come out was immediately swallowed.
Then the little fat man became obedient. Being pinned down by his father and his eldest brother on the men's table, he could only huddle there and eat, not daring to take a bite of the food.
Well, this can be regarded as a famous scene, and there will be jokes for the next few months.
As for Mrs. Wang's sword-like look, as if she was about to chop herself into pieces, it didn't matter at all.
Anyway, it is not Dafang and the Dunhuang County Duke's Mansion who are embarrassed in front of the Lin family. With the Lin family's aunt here, there will be no bad words.
It’s just that Baoyu, this kid, never wants to have anything to do with Daiyu in this life.
. . . . . .
"Oh, please be gentler!"
Li Wan was lying on the bed with a tired look on his face, and Jia Hui was sitting on the edge of the bed, rubbing her slightly swollen calves.
"okay!"
The rubbing action suddenly became much lighter.
"call"
Li Wan sat back on the bed. She had a big belly and was about to give birth. It was difficult for her to move now.
If it weren't for today's special circumstances and she had to go to Rongguo Mansion, she would not even leave the bedroom.
"This Baoyu has big eyes now."
"No, I used to look like a very happy child. Why did he become like that when he saw his beautiful sister?"
"Haha, after all, he was the one who caught the rouge box when he captured Zhou."
"Rouge box?"
"Yes, it's the rouge box. I don't know which unlucky thing put it in. The boy didn't even look at the other things. He went straight to the rouge box, grabbed his hand and opened the lid and licked it. The second uncle commented that this boy will be a good person in the future. I fell into the trap of a hungry ghost, and I haven’t looked at him favorably since then.”
"Don't say that. Baoyu also has other advantages."
"It's useless, he will only be a lustful ghost for the rest of his life."
"Why?"
"Because of that piece of jade, I had already gone to the west at that time, and I didn't know the details. Only when I received the letter from home did I know that my second aunt had given birth to a blessed boy with a jade in his mouth.
There was nothing else. It was as if the family had confirmed that this boy was destined to become a great person. I was almost frightened at that time. I was not afraid of your laughter, but I was ready to pack up my things and turn into a traitor."
Jia Hui smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Could the Jia family at that time be able to bear the blessing of being born with a jade in their mouth? Let alone the Jia family, even those princes would have to worry about the lives of their entire families when they encountered this. This was something that only the emperor's family could afford. Good fortune."
"Furthermore, the way the family dealt with it at that time was also very problematic. Even if there was one more word, it was said that the second daughter-in-law of the family was deliberately playing tricks to win favor, or that the jade was sent directly to the palace? Now it's better, now the reaction When I came here, it was too late to say anything. The family could only really treat Baoyu as a playboy, but the old lady and the second aunt firmly believed that Baoyu was a man of great fortune."
Jia Hui sighed.
There was a silence on the bed. Jia Hui just rubbed Li Wan's legs silently.
"Master, have you decided what to name our child?"
Li Wan looked at the roof of Babu bed and changed the subject.
"Name? According to seniority, it should start with the prefix "艹", Ying? Wei? Fang? Shu? Ming? Ying? Zhi? Or should I use the Mang that I broke through in the Western Regions?
If it is a girl, it would be much easier to choose the prefix "艹", but there is another way to choose it. Girls of our generation are all born in a certain spring, so our girls can also be called certain summer."
As a name geek, Jia Hui also has a headache about the name of her upcoming child.
"What if we don't start by seniority?" Li Wan suddenly turned his head and looked at Jia Hui.
"Not according to seniority. Tao Li? Tao Li doesn't say anything, but he is the one who makes his own mistakes."
"Taoli. I feel a little weak."
"To be honest with my ancestors, the surname Jia is really unfriendly when it comes to naming."
"If it doesn't work, just call Jia Zicheng?"
"No, no, I always feel like I have to run around to pick this name."
After joking for a while, Li Wan suddenly yawned, and Jia Hui also yawned as he watched.
"Pfft! Don't imitate me!"
"I didn't imitate you, I just yawned!"
"You learned!"
"Please be reasonable, what's wrong with me yawning!"
"You just learned it!"
"I"
"Do not listen!"
Li Wan turned away and chuckled secretly.
"Okay, let it be what you say." There is no way. The big-bellied woman is now the most valuable person among the nearly a thousand people in the entire Jia family, and she really can't be offended.
"Ouch! Master, your son kicked me!"
Li Wan suddenly lifted his belly, lifted up his middle coat and showed it to Jia Hui with a surprised look on his face.
"Ah, where is it?"
Jia Hui quickly lay down next to Li Wan's belly and searched carefully. Sure enough, a small bump suddenly appeared on his belly and disappeared quickly.
Jia Hui took the wet towel and rubbed her hands vigorously. She carefully put her two fingers together and gently attached them to Li Wan's belly. This cautious movement scratched the down on her belly and made her face tense. It almost made me laugh out loud.
My belly bulged again, and my two fingers suddenly felt a strange feeling.
Is this my child?
There are thousands of thoughts in my heart, but I have no words when I speak.
Turning his head to Li Wan's face, Jia Hui gently pressed his face against Li Wan's belly.
"Sister Wan has worked hard"
"Brother Hui"
Li Wan felt sour in his heart, and stretched out his trembling hand to brush Jia Hui's face. Jia Hui also put his hand on Li Wan's soft skin.
. . . . . .
February 15th, the mid-month dynasty.
The musicians played the solemn "Chaohui Music", and the civil and military teams were still arranged on both sides, holding wat tablets and solemnly walking on the jade steps leading to the Mingtang.
It's just that everyone's attention is no longer on the bright hall, but on the tall figure standing at the front of the two classes, straightening his back like a sharp sword soaring into the sky, wearing a duke's court uniform.
In the Shangzhu Kingdom, the Great General Sima, the Commander-in-Chief of the Zuo Army, Doctor Guanglu, and Duke Jia Hui of Dunhuang County!
The most important thing today is to award him a reward.
Many people looked at this invincible general with complicated eyes.
No, from today on, he should be called Taiwei.
Although the official position of Taiwei is completely different in power from when it was first established.
But that was a Taiwei, the true leader of military attachés in the world!
He, Jia Hui, is less than twenty years old, and I am twenty years old. No, what was I still doing when I was thirty? I'm still worried about taking the imperial examination/accumulating military merit for a knighthood!
Jealousy is jealous, but everyone still fully recognizes Jia Hui's contribution.
Above the Mingtang, the two saints have arrived today. The kings are also wearing royal robes and standing there solemnly. A few of them are still holding the equipment that they are about to put on for Jia Hui.
After the most basic etiquette, the civil and military officials were arranged on both sides of the hall, with only Jia Hui remaining in the middle.
The musicians played "Dan Bi Da Yue", and the ceremony of worshiping the Taiwei officially began.
The chief minister of the cabinet, Li Shi, the Minister of Rites, as today's ceremonial officer, stood up and walked to one side and began to read out the imperial edict.
"The edict said:"
Li Yan recited the imperial decree to worship Jia Hui as Taiwei in the Chinese rhyme inherited from the Han Dynasty. The kings also slowly walked to Jia Hui's side. The emperor also looked at each other, suppressed his excitement, and stood up. Descending the steps, he came to the front of Jia Hui.
"I would like to congratulate you as the Grand Lieutenant today!"
After some etiquette, the emperor picked up an ancient long sword from the wooden tray held by the fourth son of the emperor, Chen Jingyuan, and placed it in front of Jia Hui.
This is one of Taizu's swords, and it is also one of the only two swords that drink blood.
Taizu had countless swords in his life, but in fact only two swords actually drank the blood of his enemies.
One was used at the beginning of the uprising. Taizu used it to cut off the head of the county magistrate's dog to officially start the uprising. The materials used are ordinary, but it is of great significance to the Daqi Dynasty. It is now enshrined in the Ancestral Temple and enjoys the incense of Daqi.
Her only use now is to execute the royal family.
The other one is the sword that will be given to Jia Hui.
Before the founding of the Qi Dynasty, the most important battle related to life and death was the battle of Luoyang. During the attack on Luoyang, the Liang army broke into the center of the Qi army from the flanks. Taizu, who was in the enemy camp, used this sword to fight with the Liang army, and finally defeated the Liang army. This surprise attack on the Liang army was annihilated, and finally captured Luoyang Dingding Guandong.
Taizu also gave this sword to Jia Hui's great-grandfather, Jia Yuan, the old Duke of Rong. He will control all the armies of Da Qi in the final battle to destroy Liang.
Jia Yuan lived up to expectations and invaded Tongguan, successfully destroying Liang.
Since then, this sword has also become a symbol of control over the world's soldiers and horses.
However, there is naturally no such power in normal times. Only when the emperor has an imperial edict written in his own hand and stamped with the Imperial Seal of Chuan Guo, the Imperial Seal of Da Qi, the three governor-general seals of the Fifth Army Governor-General's Office, and the seal of the Chief Minister of the Cabinet, can he control the world's soldiers and horses. rights can take effect.
However, even if it doesn't take effect, she still has some other small powers.
"Your Majesty, Jia Hui, obeys the imperial edict!"
Jia Hui raised her hands above her head with the palms of her hands facing up. She respectfully took the sword, which symbolized the military power of Da Qi, and put it on her waist.
He kowtowed three times and bowed nine times to the Second Saint, and Li Xian had just finished reciting the imperial edict.
Jia Hui stood up, walked in front of the kings, sat down under the imperial steps, and faced the civil and military officials.
He looked around at the civil and military squads, holding on to the sword tied to the left side of his waist, with a stern look.
"I am Jia Hui, and from today on I will be the Grand Lieutenant of Da Qi!"
Both the civil and military classes saluted in the direction of Jia Hui.
"I will pay my respects to the Taiwei!"
Jia Hui returned the favor.
Done!
"Danbi's Great Music" ended, and the musicians started playing "Chaohui Music" again.
The atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
Jia Hui also turned back towards Dan Bi, facing the Second Saint.
"Jinyu, I remember, you are due to be crowned in three months, right?"
The ministers below were about to go out to report something, but the emperor spoke before them.
The civil servant who was about to announce something was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and returned to the courtroom.
"Back to the Emperor, exactly."
"Okay, okay, if that's the case, then there won't be one more event. Why don't we have a double happiness today and help you organize the crowning ceremony together? What do you think?"
"How virtuous and capable are my ministers?"
"Hey, as a Taiwei, you must not be careless in the crowning ceremony, otherwise you will lose the face of the country. Among all the ministers, who wants to crown the Taiwei?"
Crowning the Crown Prince? And such good things!
The people below no longer cared about etiquette, party affiliation, likes and dislikes, and stood up one after another to introduce themselves to the emperor. Even the envoys of the vassal countries who were huddled in the corner were all blinded, but when they thought about the gap in status, they couldn't help but smile bitterly. He sat there and continued to remain silent.
"Ahem, cough, cough, colleagues, can you listen to what Lu has to say?"
A weak but firm voice came from the front of Wu Ban, and the court fell into silence.
The civil and military ministers who heard the man's voice knew that among those present, he was the most qualified to be crowned Taiwei.
"Ahem, ahem, Your Majesty, please honor the crown prince!"
"allow."
The emperor smiled and agreed.
"Lv Gong."
Jia Hui looked at him in a daze.
He was the Commander-in-Chief of the Rear Army of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies, the first Commander-in-Chief of the Anxi Governor-General of the Qi Dynasty, and the one who defended and counterattacked to destroy Timur was Lu Guan, Duke of Chengguo.
The musicians played the crowning music again. Li Xuan was different from his previous seriousness. He once again served as the official of ceremony with a smile, and recited the crowning words that have been passed down for thousands of years in Chinese rhyme. Several palace maids walked to both sides of Jia Hui and picked the crown. He walked over and handed the nine-beam crown to Lu Guan. He untied the brocade ribbon that bound his hair, thinned it out again, tied it into a bun, and put on the small golden crown.
Lu Guan also walked up to Jia Hui with elegant and solemn steps, put the silk cloth crown on his head, and told him that he must serve the country loyally after being crowned.
Then he went down again and changed into Pi Bian weapons.
Finally, the nine-beam crown with cage scarf representing the title is put on again, and the crowning ceremony is completed.
Originally, the next step was to choose the characters, but Lu Guan had already chosen the characters for Jia Hui a few years ago, so this step was omitted.
Jia Hui turned around and thanked the two saints again.
Next, the civil and military ministers began to report one by one...
In the martial arts class behind him, Jia Zhen, Wang Ziteng and others looked envious, Shui Che, Niu Zhao and other old brothers looked proud, and Jia She burst into tears.
Father, my two brothers are incompetent and will be like this for the rest of their lives. But with Brother Hui here, the Jia family will not fall!
One more chapter and this volume will be over. The next step is to rectify the Jianghu affairs.
(End of chapter)
