Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun passes through the screen and falls on the carpet, like a cage of golden gauze.
Jia Mu is now sitting on the Arhat bed, with the maids Yuanyang, Hu Hu and other maids waiting behind her.
Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were sitting on one side, and Feng Wan, Ying Tan, Chai Dai and Xiang Yun were all accompanying them.
Baoyu was held in Jia Mu's arms, with a shrinking look on his face, which was full of the Mid-Autumn Festival moon.
On a chair not far away, Jia Zheng, wearing a Confucian shirt and square scarf, was holding a bowl of tea in his hand, his face was unhesitant, and his eyes were looking at Baoyu from time to time.
Jia Mu said angrily: "My Baoyu is only a little better, so you want him to kneel in the ancestral hall?"
It turned out that today, when Jia Zheng left his study, he happened to see Baoyu coming out of Daiyu's courtyard. Seeing that he was walking well, he immediately called Baoyu to his side.
Then he was ordered to kneel in the ancestral hall and write a letter of apology.
This was also the repentance task that Jia Heng set for Baoyu.
Jia Zhengdao: "Brother Heng said at the beginning that this must not be omitted. Now that I see that he is much more flexible, I should finish this matter earlier. In a few days, he will go to the Chongwen Hall of the Clan Academy to study."
"He has just recovered, why can't he wait a few days?" Jia Mu said angrily.
Jia Zheng put down the teacup, glanced at Baoyu coldly, and said, "It's best to write now, so as not to heal the scars and forget about the pain."
Jia Mu: "..."
Jia Zheng said: "Mother, Baoyu can't continue to be like that. I'm thinking that in one or two years, I will arrange a marriage for him. If he gets married, his mind will be settled, and he will not delay in getting the honors." .”
The more Jia Zheng talked about it, the more he felt that this strategy was feasible, and solemnly said: "When Brother Heng comes back, I will discuss this matter with him."
In view of the fact that his eldest daughter has been mistaken for life, Baoyu's lifelong events need to be decided as soon as possible, and there can be no further mistakes.
Otherwise, if he doesn't know how to make progress, the marriage will be in trouble if the woman inquires about him.
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she paused slightly while holding the Buddha beads, and a bright light flashed in her heart.
For example, Uncle Heng is in charge of Baoyu's marriage. He doesn't want to find a princess or a princess for his Baoyu, but at least he can find a daughter from a martial arts family.
When Baoyu heard this, his face turned pale for a moment. For some reason, a chill arose in his heart, and he couldn't help but peek at Daiyu.
I saw Daiyu holding a cup of tea at this moment, sipping it with a small mouth, her pretty little face showing no expression at all.
"Sister Lin has a cold face. She probably doesn't want to see this happen." Baoyu thought silently.
Jia Mu said, "I have other plans for Baoyu's future marriage, so what are you worrying about?"
She originally wanted to kiss Yu'er and Baoyu, but she only considered Yu'er's poor health, but recently, she saw that Yu'er's complexion had improved a lot, and she was not as sick as before.
It seems that Brother Heng has gotten much better since he asked the imperial doctor to nurse him back to health.
Aunt Xue listened to several people discussing Baoyu's marriage. She glanced at Baoyu in Jia Mu's arms, and her heart was almost unmoved.
It can be said that after the exile of Jia She and his son, there was no one who could inherit the title of Duke Rongguo and Baoyu did not like to study, so the value of his marriage and love plummeted in the eyes of Aunt Xue.
As for the golden match, let alone mention it.
Jia's mother looked at Jia Zheng again and said accusingly: "You have nothing to do at home, but you like to mess with my Baoyu and the errands of the Ministry of Industry. You still have no whereabouts. What did Brother Heng say?"
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Wang's face paused slightly and she raised her eyes to look at Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng has been idle at home for some time. Currently he is either playing chess and chatting with several Qing guests in the mansion, or helping with the purchases in the garden.
The latter actually exercised some practical abilities.
Jia Zheng sighed and said, "Ziyu is currently busy with the case of Prince Zhongshun. This case will take some time no matter what."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang's face paused, and her joy subsided a little.
Just when everyone in the Rongqing Hall was excited about Master Zheng's career, suddenly a nanny outside was out of breath and came in to report: "Old lady, the angel in the palace... is here to deliver the decree."
Mother Jia's face paused slightly, and she asked Jia Zheng in surprise, "What are the angels doing here at this time?"
I couldn't figure out the way for a while.
The others also looked at each other, confused.
Mrs. Wang suddenly looked at Jia Zheng, who was surrounded by the old god. She suddenly felt blessed and said in surprise: "Old lady, is this the decree to promote me?"
Jia Mu's breath froze, she was overjoyed, a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "This will be a really happy event."
Although Jia Zheng's face barely remained calm, his heartbeat obviously accelerated a bit.
If this is the imperial edict for promotion, it should be done. Two ministers from the Ministry of Industry were imprisoned along with a large number of officials. It is said that the affairs of the ministry are in chaos, so he should be allowed to take charge... and do whatever he wants.
But why didn't Ziyu mention it to him before?
Also, it is not appropriate to rashly reveal personnel in advance before the overall situation is determined.
In the past few days, Jia Zheng had gradually gained some understanding of the officialdom thanks to Jia Heng's constant reminders.
Mother Jia smiled again and said: "Such a happy event should be celebrated properly. Girl Feng, please invite the theater troupe to liven it up."
For a moment, as soon as these words came out, Rongqing Hall seemed to be enveloped in an atmosphere of joy.
Aunt Xue smiled and joked: "I wonder how many ranks you have been promoted to?"
Mrs. Wang thought about it for a while, with a happy face, and said: "I was a member of the Communist Party of China before. So many people in the Ministry of Industry were involved in the imperial mausoleum case, but I am the only one with a clear mind. I don't think I will be promoted by just one level, or even by consecutive promotions." Level three...could he be the assistant minister?"
Because she had been expecting Jia Heng to help Jia Zheng get promoted, Mrs. Wang also secretly inquired about some of the official ranks of the Sixth Department in the past few days, and found out that the assistant minister was a high official.
"Servant? What grade is this?" Aunt Xue asked in surprise.
"This is a third-grade official." Mrs. Wang said in a low voice.
Jia Zheng was a little happy when he listened to the discussions around him, but he was still a little uncertain. He sighed: "High-ranking officials in the ministry need to be recommended by the imperial court. If they can be transferred to the next level and appointed as a doctor, it will be a favor from the emperor." It’s so majestic, he can’t even think about it.”
With that said, Jia Zheng stood up and said: "Mother, angels are not to be neglected. I will go to receive the order now."
However, the nanny was panting for a moment, and saw that several masters in the hall were already discussing happily without waiting for her to finish speaking. The more she listened, the more frightened she became, and she secretly thought something bad.
But it was not easy to hide it at this time, so she said with a grimace: "Old lady, the imperial edict is for Dongfu. I heard that it is the imperial edict for Mrs. Qin of Dongfu."
Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Jia Zheng: "..."
Mrs. Wang: "???"
We have been talking about co-writing for a long time, is it wrong to be happy?
It was also because Jia Zheng's promotion had just been mentioned, and Mrs. Wang mentioned it in this way. As soon as Jia's mother responded, everyone was naturally led astray.
At this moment, Rongqing Hall was extremely embarrassed. It could be said that almost the air was filled with the smell of embarrassment and humiliation.
Mrs. Wang's face was red and white, but she was so embarrassed. She felt that she had never been so humiliated in her life, and she wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground.
But Aunt Xue was actually a little better. She just echoed a few words, but her smile froze on her face and she opened her mouth, unable to laugh or cry.
Baochai glanced at her mother with her watery eyes and sighed secretly.
It's all right, mom didn't wait for others to finish, and went to join in the fun, and now it's such an accident.
Looking at this ridiculous scene, Sister Feng twitched the corner of her mouth, trying not to laugh like a pig. She couldn't help but glance at the nanny and thought to herself, I'm afraid she will be sent far away in a few days. This big gasp...
Daiyu's starry eyes also flashed, and she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, enduring the discomfort, her delicate body trembling slightly.
Tan Chun pinched Xiang Yun's arm and winked at Xiang Yun.
It was clearly a reminder to Xiangyun to pay special attention to expression management at this time. @ESSENTIAL_书馆…j_h_s_s_d_c_o_mFirst.Posted.Updated.New~~
"Third sister, why are you pinching me?" Xiangyun said in a low voice with a hint of innocence on her red apple face.
Tanchun: "??"
I thought to myself, I was reminding you not to laugh when you shouldn’t. You were laughing at the second wife yesterday.
In fact, in the original work, Sister Feng said that Lingguan looked like Daiyu, and everyone laughed and said nothing. Only Xiangyun was outspoken and told the truth.
But Xiangyun is not really mean-spirited. He is so embarrassed to see Jia Mu at this time that he cannot laugh.
Although the conversation between the two was soft, it was extremely clear in the Rongqing Hall at this moment. Everyone couldn't help but feel weird about it. They wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
Fortunately, Jia Mu had experience, and her expression changed. She suppressed the strangeness in her heart and asked quickly: "Brother Heng's daughter-in-law was originally a second-grade imperial concubine, but now she is a first-grade imperial edict."
Speaking of this, I was surprised at first.
Tanchun answered: "Brother Heng is now a first-class baron. This is a first-class title. I think my sister-in-law should have been granted a first-class title long ago."
Jia Mu said, "I think it was not long before the reward was awarded that the imperial edict was issued."
Baochai was holding the tea cup and took a sip, her moist apricot eyes flashed, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Mrs. Yipin Gaoming, how long has she been married to him?
Well, that’s what people naturally think.
In this case, Jia Heng and Qin Keqing have been married for many years, and the position of the eldest wife has been determined for a long time, so others will naturally have no other ideas.
Nowadays, it is impossible for the girl not to think about it. To be honest, she only met Brother Heng a few months later.
In the stillness of the night, I thought about it, if I had gone to Beijing earlier, maybe I would have been sealed today...
Aunt Xue looked at the nanny, her eyes were blank, and she thought to herself, Brother Heng's daughter-in-law is really lucky.
Mrs. Wang's expression was indifferent, and waves of irritation flashed through her heart. The hands holding the beads were so hard that their joints turned white.
Wasn't he copying and inspecting Prince Zhongshun's palace when he was given the imperial edict? She was busy with her own affairs, but she didn't worry about the master's affairs, which made her such a big embarrassment!
Jia Mu smiled and said, "This is a good thing, a first-class imperial edict. This is a reward that many people will never be able to ask for in their lifetime. Did you say why?"
After hearing this, Sister Feng lost a lot of her amusement, but there was a hint of envy in Danfeng's eyes, and her thoughts were complicated.
It has only been a short time, but Keqing has already been married to the first rank. It is true that a wife is more valuable than her husband. Problems such as being a couple in need are out of the question. After all, Keqing has not been married for a long time, so her life is really good.
Moreover, just by touching the dominoes, he pocketed Mrs. Yipin Gaoming.
The nanny was already on tenterhooks at this moment, fearing that something might happen again, so she quickly finished her sentence in one breath: "Old lady, I heard that the Queen also rewarded two large carts of things. I heard that Eunuch Xia also said that this time The reward has another reason, it is said that Grandma Heng knew the general situation yesterday and did not see those who came to beg for mercy."
Jia Mu: "???"
What does this mean?
Yes, Brother Heng's daughter-in-law didn't see those begging ladies yesterday.
Although she saw him, she didn't do anything for anyone, so she didn't know the general situation?
After hearing this, Jia Zheng's mood returned to normal and he said: "Mother, yesterday several imperial edicts from Beijing came to plead for mercy. I hope this matter will be known to the palace and an imperial edict will be issued to reward you."
Saying this is actually to make up for the "gaffe" just now.
Just now, it was really inappropriate. Jia Cunzhou, Jia Cunzhou, you need to calm down before big things happen. If you deal with it calmly, why would you make such a fool of yourself?
Jia Mu smiled and said, "That should be the explanation."
Mrs. Wang frowned and had a thought in her mind.
He thought to himself: "If the old lady didn't see the Nan'an and Beijing families yesterday, maybe today's imperial edict is for me, right?"
Sister Feng answered with a smile and said, "Old lady, why don't you go to Dongfu to see the excitement, but she is celebrating right now."
Jia Mu nodded, smiled and said, "Then go over and have a look and join in the fun."
He is someone who loves to join in the fun. Of course, sitting in Rongqing Hall is too embarrassing.
Li Wan listened to the conversation of several people and clenched his handkerchief, feeling uneasy.
With a first-grade royal decree, the old lady is a super-grade concubine in the whole family, and her mother-in-law is only a fifth-grade concubine. In terms of status, Grandma Heng is second only to the old lady.
Of course, it was second only to the old lady before, but at that time it was only the second grade, and now it is the first grade.
Even if she didn't want to admit it, even if her family Lan'er topped the high school and became a high official, she still wouldn't be able to get a first-grade title.
Thinking of this, Li Wan's beautiful eyes condensed under her beautiful eyebrows, and she felt a sense of frustration in her heart.
Daiyu's thoughts were exquisite and clear. She glanced at the people in the venue and took in the expressions in her eyes. Her bright autumn eyes under her smoky eyebrows showed thoughts.
Jia Zheng looked at Baoyu, who had turned from worry to joy. He felt angry and said in a deep voice, "Baoyu stayed here and wrote his self-criticism first. I'll keep an eye on it."
Baoyu: "???"
Take your anger out on me, right?
Seeing this, Mother Jia looked slightly annoyed and said, "He changed his mind and said he couldn't write. Brother Dongfu Heng's daughter-in-law has been awarded a imperial title and a reward. Let's all go over and join in the fun."
"Mother, tomorrow comes tomorrow, how many tomorrows are there? Let Baoyu write it now, and I will take it when Ziyu comes back in the evening." Jia Zheng insisted on his opinion.
Jia Mu had no choice but to agree.
Then, accompanied by Yuanyang, Hubo, Fengwan, Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang, and Yingtan Erchun, Jia Mu led a large number of maids and nannies to the East Mansion.
At this moment, in the East Mansion, in the backyard and inner hall.
Qin Keqing just asked Aunt Cai to withdraw some money from the accounting office to the eunuch who delivered the edict, and sent him out. Then he took the imperial edict, and his mood was a little complicated.
Yipingaoming, this honor and grace, many women will never have in their lifetimes.
The beauty was wearing a light red gown, a small gold-woven jacket, a pomegranate skirt, and rolled-up temples. She was so beautiful that she was so beautiful that she was so beautiful that she thought about it for a while. Then she said to the orb on the side: "Enshrine the imperial edict in the ancestral hall."
"Yes, ma'am." Baozhu's childish face was beaming with joy, she responded and she was overjoyed.
As a maid who was married to her wife, no one else feels as lucky as she does.
Because she almost missed the lady in the first place.
Third Sister You's beautiful face showed a bright smile, and she said: "Sister, I don't expect the Queen in the palace to reward me with something. This seems to be a bracelet, as well as a bracelet and a hairpin."
Second Sister You's eyes fell on a crystal bead chain, her beautiful eyes showed surprise, and she whispered: "This should be made by the skilled craftsmen in the palace. It looks better than the ones outside. The pattern is more beautiful and the workmanship is fine." many."
Women are born with no resistance to these shiny jewelry.
At this moment, a nun came in and reported: "Grandma, the old lady from Xifu, the second wife and the concubine are leading people over."
Qin Keqing was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'll go and greet you."
After thinking about it, he ordered Ruizhu on the side: "Let the kitchen prepare more dinner. The old lady will have dinner here, and then call Miss Xichun over."
Ruizhu responded and hurried away.
After a while, Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Feng Wan, Chai Dai, Ying Tan and others, as well as a group of maids and grandmothers, came to the house and called out: "Brother Heng, daughter-in-law, I wish you a happy birthday." .”
"Old lady..." Qin Keqing called out and said softly, "I should go over and say hello to the old lady."
As they talked, Qin Keqing invited Jia Mu and everyone to sit down in the hall, and for a while the hall was full of people.
Jia Mu looked at the box of jewelry that had not been put away and asked with a smile: "Is this the gift from the Queen in the palace?"
Qin Keqing smiled and said, "It's said to be some jewelry made by the palace secretary. The old lady and some younger sisters can pick out a few pieces and take them back with them later."
"I'm too old to wear these. Let your sisters wear them." Jia Mu smiled happily, then looked at Chai Dai, Ying Tan and others.
As for Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng, they originally had dowries. Although they think the rewards from the palace are rare, they may not really be missing these two pieces of jewelry, which is not good to say.
On the contrary, it is given to young girls, which is both festive and decent.
Hearing this, Qin Keqing glanced at Daiyu and Baochai with a pair of charming and flowing eyes. Her slightly glistening eyes did not know whether they stayed for a moment on Baochai's plump and beautiful face, and she said softly: "Sister Xue , Sister Lin, Sister Yun, you can pick out some good ones later and wear them when you go back."
Baochai smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you're welcome. I don't usually wear these."
When Aunt Xue heard this, she was stunned for a moment and quickly added: "Our precious girl usually doesn't like these flowers and pinks."
He secretly thought that with the way his sweet girl usually handles it, even if she takes it back without wearing it, she shouldn't refuse this kind offer.
This is how the world works, especially when someone is sharing happiness, you'd better continue.
For example, when a colleague goes abroad and brings a bunch of snacks packaged in English, a chubby girl with black-rimmed eyes next to her has taken them, squinting her eyes and saying how delicious the food is. If you insist on being modest, you are a bit unsociable.
Fortunately, no one could tell what was going on, and they didn't think it was inappropriate. In fact, Baochai was a good person in the past, but now with the addition of the filter, they felt that Baochai might be sincerely giving in.
Wei Daiyu twisted her Yan Yan eyebrows, glanced at Baochai with Qiushui's bright eyes, and vaguely felt... unusual.
Baochai's apricot eyes flashed at this moment, and she realized that she had just acted and was a little unreasonable. She smiled and said: "But these jewelry are exquisite and unique, and very pleasing to the eye. I want to come to the palace with you." It’s different elsewhere, thank you sister-in-law.”
When everyone heard the words, they suddenly realized that this was suppressed first and then promoted.
Sister Feng Danfeng blinked, pursed her lips, and thought to herself, it turns out that she is waiting here, these are her daughters from the Wang family, all of them can talk and have sweet mouths.
Just...huh?
Sister Feng glanced at Mrs. Wang, who was there, and quickly lowered her gaze.
At this time, Second Sister You had brought the wooden brocade box containing bracelets, bead chains, and bracelets, and then called a few girls to gather together to pick them up.
For a time, there were birds and birds singing happily.
Mother Jia looked at this scene with a smile on her face. She was obviously older and loved watching this excitement.
Xiangyun picked a bracelet first and said with a smile, "Thank you, sister-in-law, I just want one like this."
Tanchun took a hairpin.
Baochai picked up a pair of earrings.
Daiyu also took out a crystal bracelet.
Yingchun took a bracelet.
There were maids nearby, holding handkerchiefs to wrap for their respective girls.
