"The Emperor of Heaven carries the Emperor's decree:
Jia Cong, Marquis of Ningwu, was loyal, brave and courageous. He repeatedly performed outstanding achievements and promoted the prestige of our country. I am very pleased. In order to show his merits, I specially named him the first-class Duke of Ningguo.
Gift, a python robe and jade belt, a thousand taels of gold, two hundred pieces of palace brocade, two hundred pieces of colorful satin, a handle of Ruyi jade, and a royal palace. I admire this. "
"My lord, please accept the order and thank me."
"My lord, Jia Cong, accept this order and express my gratitude. Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Jia Cong stood up, raised his hands, and received the imperial edict respectfully.
He casually took out a banknote and stuffed it into the sleeve of the little eunuch who announced the decree, little Eunuch Li.
"Please, Eunuch Li, please make a trip. It's really hard work. Please treat me to tea."
Little Eunuch Li glanced at the bank note in his sleeve, looked at the denomination, and said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to the Duke. The young Duke has a bright future. There is no need for tea. However, the master ordered that the Duke After the vacation is over, I will immediately report to the Ministry of War and make another appointment."
Jia Cong cupped his hands in the direction of the palace and said, "My lord, I obey the order."
Eunuch Xiao Li didn't stay and hurriedly took the people away.
This man is also one of Dai Quan's godsons. The two of them have met many times and are considered old acquaintances.
After sending the person out of the door, Jia Cong returned to the lobby.
Zhang Fu and his servants knelt down on the ground and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to the Duke, congratulations to the Duke."
Jia Cong laughed loudly and said: "Reward, big reward."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Guo."
Jia Cong nodded and said, "Well, everyone, get up."
Everyone kowtowed to Jia Cong and then got up with happy faces.
Now the Ningguo Mansion has become a veritable Duke's Mansion. Even the servants in the mansion have grown up with the tide, and they look superior to others when they walk outside.
Being a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door is no joke.
If someone comes to do business, even an official, when facing the concierge of the Duke's Mansion, they have to politely ask for permission.
Ping'er, Yuanyang, Youshi, Qin Keqing and others also came forward to congratulate him with smiles on their faces.
"Congratulations to the Duke, congratulations to the Duke."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite as a family. Each person has two pieces of palace brocade and two pieces of colorful satin. Let's get some luck."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Guo."
Everyone smiled happily when they heard this. This is the fabric used by the emperor, queen, and concubines in the palace. It is much better than ordinary fabric. Four pieces of cloth can make a dozen new clothes.
Ping'er said: "Master Guo, where is the Xifu? Do you want to send some there too?"
To be honest, these fabrics were not very valuable, but the emperor's gift was royal fabric, and the grade was suddenly raised, becoming a rarity in people's eyes.
Wearing clothes made of royal fabrics will make you feel more dignified.
Others may take it as a treasure, but Jia Cong doesn't care much about it, so use it as a gift. Sister Feng and others will definitely like it. After all, it is a gift from the emperor, and wearing it is enough to show off to others.
"The rewards are quite large this time. The brothers and sisters over there are just like you, two horses each. In addition, five horses are given to each of the old ladies. The first lady and the second wife are the same as the old lady. Aunt Xue also Give me one.
By the way, the old lady You, the second sister, and the third sister happened to be guests at the house. Since they caught up, we can't let others watch. They are also like you, let each of them have a share, and don't let people say anything about us. The Duke's office is stingy. "
Ping'er said: "Now that I know the Duke, I will arrange for people to send them one by one."
Youshi was very happy after hearing this and secretly praised this brother-in-law for his ability.
In this way, I have more face in front of You Lao Niang and her two younger sisters, and it also allows them to see the atmosphere of the Duke's mansion. This is a piece of fabric given by the emperor, and they may not be able to see it in their lifetime, let alone understand it.
The three mothers must be very happy now. Although the things are not very valuable, the things that come out of the palace are different. The highest-grade fabrics are more attractive in their eyes.
Youshi said with a smile on her face: "Sister-in-law, on behalf of my mother, second sister, and third sister, thank you, Mr. Guo."
Jia Cong said: "Sister-in-law, what you said is an outsider. In our family, thanking each other is an outsider."
Ping'er and Yuanyang distributed the cloth, and after setting aside the ones for Xifu, they put the rest into the warehouse.
He also gave two months' monthly money to everyone in the house as a reward, and the whole family was very happy.
After finishing their work at Ningguo Mansion, Ping'er and Yuanyang, with a few maids, loaded the palace brocade and colorful satin onto the carriage and went to Rongguo Mansion.
Although four pieces of cloth per person was not much, it could not handle the large number of people there. In addition, there were nearly a hundred pieces of cloth for Jia Mu and others, and a quarter of it was gone at once.
The two first came to Jia Mu's yard, took five pieces of palace brocade and five pieces of colorful satin, and sent them to Jia Mu's room.
"Old lady, this is the fabric given to the Duke by the palace. The Duke asked us to bring some for the old lady to make clothes. The eldest wife, the second wife, and the aunt also have a share. All brothers and sisters also have a share. Four horses each.”
Hearing this, Mother Jia chuckled and said, "Okay, brother Cong is interested. Since the death of the old prince, there have been no rewards from the palace. Brother Cong is quite generous. He actually gave everyone a share, and he gave him something." ?”
Ping'er said: "Go back to the old lady. As a gift from the emperor, I have a python robe and jade belt, a thousand taels of gold, two hundred pieces of palace brocade, two hundred pieces of colorful satin, a handle of Ruyi jade, and an imperial palace."
Jia Mu nodded, it didn't matter how many things there were, the key was the holy scroll.
As long as Brother Cong remains in the emperor's heart, rewards from the palace will be indispensable, and no one will dare to underestimate the Jia family in the future.
When Yuanchun is granted the title of concubine again in the future, the situation will be better.
As long as the two siblings are here, the Jia family can be prosperous for decades.
Yuanyang said: "Old lady, let's finish delivering the fabrics first, and then we'll talk to you."
Mother Jia was happy and said with a smile: "Go ahead and give it to them to make them happy. If you are busy, don't stay with me."
Ping'er and Yuanyang said goodbye and went to Lin Daiyu's yard nearby, where they dropped them off for the four sisters before going to other places.
Jia Cong returned to the back house and took a shower and changed clothes under the service of Xi Ren, Qingwen and Xiang Ling.
Then he took the imperial edict to the ancestral temple, worshiped, reported to his ancestors, and enshrined the imperial edict in the ancestral temple.
Jia Cong returned to the back house and met Second Sister You and Third Sister You.
When the two saw Jia Cong, they hurriedly saluted: "I have met the Duke of Guo. Congratulations to the Duke of Guo for his promotion to another high level. Thank you also for the cloth that the Duke of Guo gave us. We all like it very much. Our mother also told us that when we meet the Duke of Guo, My father-in-law must say thank you for her."
These two sisters are quite interesting. They won't make clothes in the house after getting the fabric, but they will run out and wander around. Could it be that they came out specially to wait for me?
Jia Cong looked at the two of them.
I saw Second Sister You looking at me with eyes that reflected the autumn water, full of affection, and I suddenly understood in my heart.
This person really came out to look for me, and I felt a little bit overwhelmed by this look.
Sanjie You's big eyes were looking at me, and they were squirming around. She didn't know what she was planning.
These sisters are really a pair of beauties. One exudes tenderness from head to toe, looks charming, and has tender eyes, making people feel like they want to hold them in their arms and take good care of them.
The other has an unrestrained personality, is straightforward and bold in dealing with others. He is not easy to mess with at first glance and is quite intimidating.
It is really a happy trouble to have such two stunning beauties eyeing him.
Jia Cong felt a little respectful and intimidated towards these two sisters.
The main reason is that in the original work "A Dream of Red Mansions", the two sisters had a very bad reputation. Although Jia Zhen and his son died early in this life, the two sisters did not fall into decline.
But there is always a trace of fear in my heart.
If in the future, anyone likes me, he would be overjoyed.
But at this time, I was young, wealthy, powerful, and had no shortage of beauties. There were so many beauties around me that there were as many as I wanted.
This is really not bragging.
With your own financial resources, even if you spend money to buy them, you can go to Jiangnan and buy a hundred and eighty ones. I guarantee that all of them will be oiran-level beauties.
As long as you ask, you can choose the beauties on the Khalkha grassland.
Ask Amin to get some barbarian beauties for him, and Amin will never refuse and will be very happy.
It’s just that I was too young before and didn’t have the need for this.
Facing these two beauties in front of him, Jia Cong has not yet accepted their ideas, and will let them take their fate in the future.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Thank you for your blessings, second sister and third sister. Don't mind too much about just a few pieces of cloth. The old lady is too polite. Are you still used to staying in the house?"
Second Sister You said: "The mansion is very nice, much better than our home. Thank you so much, Mr. Guo, for your concern."
Jia Cong said: "Just get used to it. If you need anything, you can tell my sister-in-law directly."
Third Sister You said: "Thank you, Mr. Guo. We don't need anything. I heard that Mr. Guo is very powerful in wars. Can you tell us about it?"
Jia Cong asked curiously: "Oh? Third sister, are you still interested in these?"
Third Sister You said: "I'm just curious. I heard that the Duke of Guo was victorious in every battle and made his enemies flee, so I wanted to know more about it."
Jia Cong couldn't refuse, so he simply explained it to them.
At this time, Qin Keqing came over.
"Uncle Cong, why are you here? I've been looking for you for a while. My second and third aunts are also here? What are you talking about?"
Third Sister You said: "We also happened to meet the Duke of Guo. It happened that my mother asked us to thank the Duke of Guo for the cloth. This was a lot of talking."
Qin Keqing looked at the three of them and felt that something was wrong with her mother-in-law's two sisters.
Especially this second aunt, her eyes looked like she wanted to eat Uncle Cong.
Jia Cong said seriously: "Nephew and wife, what do you want from me?"
Qin Keqing looked away and said, "Uncle Cong, I want to discuss something with you, but you don't have time?"
Jia Cong said: "What's the matter? Say it, I'm listening."
Qin Keqing said: "Uncle Cong, it's my family's business. It's not convenient to talk about it here. Why don't you go to my place to talk about it."
Jia Cong was a little puzzled, what could happen to this little goblin's family?
The matter between Qin Zhong and Zhi'er was ruined by him, so he should not be angry with Qin Ye anymore.
Judging from Qin Keqing's expression, it didn't look like something big was going on.
Jia Cong nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to your place and talk about it."
He turned to Second Sister You and Third Sister You and said, "Second Sister and Third Sister, let's play by ourselves. The scenery over at Huifang Garden is pretty good, and the chrysanthemums have begun to bloom. If you have nothing to do, you can go there and have a look."
"I understand, Mr. Guo, go and get busy."
Jia Cong nodded to the two of them and followed Qin Keqing to her yard.
Looking at the disappearing figures of the two, Second Sister You said: "This grandma Xiaorong, is she prettier than us? I wonder what she wants from the Duke?"
Third Sister You curled her lips and said: "This Brother Rong's daughter-in-law is a vixen at first glance. She is not much prettier than us, but a little more seductive. This kind of woman is more attractive to men. I don't think the Duke of Guo will be able to escape sooner or later." The palm of her hand."
Second Sister You saw that Third Sister You was not covering her mouth, so she quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth.
He said with a worried look: "Girl, stop talking nonsense and don't even look at where this place is. If someone hears it, why don't you still have ours? This is the Duke's Mansion, not our own home.
Besides, the Duke of Guo is not that kind of person. The eldest sister said that the Duke of Guo has kept himself clean. He is still a boy and has never touched a woman. "
Sanjie You said unconvinced: "That's because he was still young and was busy practicing martial arts and working hard for his future. Now he has become famous and should be able to enjoy it. If he hadn't caught up with his father and died and was still in the period of filial piety, he should have Let’s get married.”
Second Sister You said worriedly: "Stop talking nonsense. You should change your mouth. You always can't control it. You dare to say anything. It's nothing in our own home. This is the Duke's Mansion, so no one can hear it." There will be trouble."
Third Sister You said impatiently: "Okay, I understand, I will pay attention to it in the future. Second Sister, do you think the two of them will be like that?"
Second Sister You rolled her eyes, didn't even bother to say anything, picked her up and left.
Jia Cong looked at the familiar environment here. He came here almost every day recently.
How can two young men and women endure it? Whenever they have time, they get tired of being together.
Qin Keqing said with a smile: "Uncle Cong, have you fallen in love with those two little beauties? One of them is tender and the other is bold and aggressive. They are really two beauties."
Jia Cong pinched her little face and said: "With you by my side, how could I like them? I have been fascinated by you during this period, and all I see in my heart is you. If I meet them for a moment, Without you, I feel panicked."
Qin Keqing chuckled and said, "Although I don't know if what Uncle Cong said is a lie, I still feel beautiful and indescribably happy. I like it when Uncle Cong coaxes others like this."
Jia Cong said: "How could it be a lie? This is my truth. You are my first woman. I will never be able to live without you, a vixen, in this life."
Qin Keqing said with a smile: "Uncle Cong, I will be a vixen and pester Uncle Cong all my life."
As he spoke, he raised a smile and took the initiative to offer a sweet kiss.
Jia Cong finally understood. What happened at home? It was obvious that this vixen was jealous of Eryou, so he found an excuse to trick him away.
Feeling the beauty's enthusiasm, Jia Cong picked up Qin Keqing and walked inside...
