The next day, Rongguo Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations early in the morning, leaving Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others at a loss as to what was going on.
When he heard that it was because Jia Hui wanted to take a concubine, he was immediately speechless.
Taking a concubine is not a good concubine, so why make such a big fuss?
"Forget it, just ignore him!"
Jia Mu's current attitude towards Jia Hui is to stay out of sight and out of mind, and not to provoke him.
"Third uncle, did you call me?"
"Brother Rong is here. The head of the founding family will come to the banquet soon. Please help to receive him!"
He called Jia Rong here because he had to talk with several family heads, and there was always someone who could accompany the descendants of the founding lineage.
He didn't want to call Jia Lian or Baoyu, so only Jia Rong could be used.
"It's time to come, go to the door to pick him up!"
"yes!"
Jia Rong quickly responded to the order and then came to the gate of Rongguo Mansion to wait to greet the heads of the family.
Soon, various families arrived in carriages on Ningrong Street and in front of the Rongguo Mansion.
Seeing Jia Rong greeting him, the visitor was a little surprised. He didn't expect that someone from Dongfu was here to greet him.
"I've met Mr. Qiu and Mr. Zhou!"
It wasn't until Jia Rong stepped forward to greet them that the two of them reacted.
"It turns out to be Brother Rong!"
Qiu Liang looked at Jia Rong and said with a smile.
"Two gentlemen, my third uncle is already waiting in the study, please come inside!"
Seeing this, the two of them said nothing more, stepped into the house, and were led by their servants to Jia Hui's study.
"Qiu Shibo and Zhou Shibo are here, but Hui is far away from us. Please forgive me!"
"Please take a seat and serve tea!"
"This is brother Zhou Yue, right? I heard that we are engaged. When will we get married? Don't forget to invite me to the wedding banquet!"
After inviting the two people into the study, Jia Hui did not talk about business immediately, but chatted with them about household matters.
Not long after, the remaining people came to the house one after another.
"Brother Rong, I have already set up a banquet in the west hall. You and all the young masters should go to the banquet first!"
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Jia Hui also began to prepare to discuss business matters.
Everyone also knew that Jia Hui's intention was not to have a banquet, so they quickly asked their children to follow Jia Rong out first.
After all the juniors left, Jia Hui said:
"Hun is truly honored that you, uncles, can come, and I also want to thank you, uncles, for giving me this face!"
"Uncle Zhenwu said something serious, it should be our honor!"
"Yes, Uncle Zhenwu has achieved a high position of power at such a young age. I am so impressed by him!"
"Okay, we are of the same lineage as the founding of the country, and we are all one family, so there is no need to say any extravagant words!"
"I invite you all here today because of what you, the uncles, said some time ago about surrendering to Your Majesty!"
After hearing what Jia Hui said, everyone suddenly became excited and began to wait for Jia Hui to continue speaking.
"To be honest with you uncles, Your Majesty is indeed lacking talents under his command now. Although you all have martial arts backgrounds, you have been idle at home for more than ten years. Do you still have the same courage as before?"
Hearing this, everyone had different expressions.
Some people are still holding actual positions in the military, so they naturally know that these words are not meant for them.
But some people, like Jia She, have been living at home waiting to die for more than ten years. If they were suddenly allowed to enter the military camp, they would not be able to adapt.
"Gentlemen, please do not be anxious. Your Majesty has no ambitions now. It is a pity that a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice. Your Majesty is also deeply gratified by the loyalty of your uncles to serve the country, so you have told me a long time ago that you must not let your loyal ministers have no way to serve the country."
"Xie Shibo and Liu Shibo, you two are serving in Jingying. You should know the current situation of Jingying. If we don't make great efforts to rectify it, it will be useless!"
"Since you want to rectify the military, you will naturally lack a large number of generals. If you have the ability, with your titles, not to mention admirals and generals, at least defense and guerrilla operations are indispensable. If you don't have the strength, then Your Majesty will vigorously rectify it, and then What’s the point of letting you in?”
After Jia Hui finished speaking, everyone fell silent for a while.
Naturally, they could understand what Jia Hui meant.
Thinking about it, the emperor accepted them because he wanted them to help.
If they don't have any ability, it's better not to let them go.
"Uncle Zhenwu, we also know that our martial arts skills have been neglected in our family over the years, but everyone in our family is also a general, and they always..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jia Hui with a wave of his hand.
"Don't be anxious, uncles. Your Majesty has not said that he will not accept your surrender. Besides, Your Majesty has given me full authority to handle this matter. With the friendship between my Jia family and you, will I really see you continue to decline?" ?”
"I have already made some plans at this time. I have invited you here today to discuss future matters with you."
"Except for Xie Shibo and Zhou Shibo, if the other uncles are still willing to join the army, I will set up a test. If they pass, at least one of the garrison officials will be indispensable."
"If you don't want to join the army anymore, you can also send your children to join the army. As long as you get military merit in the future and have the dignity of your ancestors, you will naturally be promoted faster than others."
"I wonder if you uncles think this is feasible?"
After hearing what Jia Hui said, everyone understood Jia Hui's intention of asking them to bring their children.
"It's feasible, it's feasible! That boy in my family is not a playboy. He had no place in the capital camp before. Now that Uncle Zhenwu is willing to support him, how can we object?"
"This is a very good plan. Thank you Uncle Zhenwu for planning it for us!"
Everyone also knew that this was the best way, after all, the new emperor chose them to let them do things.
If they really can't be trained, it's because they don't have the ability.
"Okay, since you uncles have agreed, it's settled!"
"but..."
At this moment, Jia Hui changed the topic, causing the smiles on everyone's faces to freeze.
"What kind of person I am, all the uncles must have heard the rumors. If you are willing to join the army, I will naturally welcome it. But if you just want to get an official position in the military camp, don't blame me for dealing with it under military law in the future!"
"That's it, that's it!"
"That's how it should be. Don't worry, Uncle Zhenwu. If they fail to live up to expectations and violate military orders, let Uncle Zhenwu handle them!"
"Hahaha, okay, now that the matter has been decided, let's go to the living room to drink!"
After saying that, Jia Hui got up, led everyone into the living room, and began to have a banquet and drink.
"Uncle Zhenwu, this is my son Han Qi, please meet Uncle Zhenwu soon!"
"This is my son Zhou Yao!"
"This is my son Kang Qianwei!"
After drinking for three rounds, everyone began to call their sons, hoping to let Jia Hui get away with it.
In this regard, Jia Hui did not refute everyone's face, but praised each one. Anyway, there was nothing bad about it.
"Uncle Zhenwu, this is my son Wei Ruolan. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. I originally planned to donate a Luan Yiwei to him. Now that Uncle Zhenwu is willing to support him, it is also my son's good fortune!"
Hearing Wei Ruolan's name, Jia Hui couldn't help but take a closer look.
After all, this is also a non-Jia character mentioned in the book Dream of Red Mansions.
The boy is indeed outstanding in appearance, handsome and handsome.
No wonder he can play with Baoyu, Jia Lian and others.
However, Baoyu and Jia Lian were too incompetent. It seems that their original circle should have been Niu Qi, Hou Yong, Chen Jingxian and the like.
It's just that they don't like the two of them.
