A dinner party where guests and hosts enjoy themselves.
After the meal, everyone played around for a while and then returned to the Grand View Garden together.
Jia Cong sent them into the garden, then turned and walked back.
When he was thinking about whose room he should sleep in tonight, he saw Da Yuer walking towards him.
This girl has been with me for so many years, and she has become more and more graceful, and she has become more and more ladylike. If I didn't have many women and was too busy, I would have eaten her long ago.
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Yu'er, where are you going?"
Da Yuer smiled and said: "Of course I came to find you."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and took Jia Cong's arm.
Feeling the warm fragrance of nephrite on one side, Jia Cong couldn't help but feel distraught.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Yu'er is getting more and more beautiful. Do you have anything to do with me? Just tell me."
Da Yuer blinked and said, "Master, am I really getting more and more beautiful? Do you like it?"
Jia Cong turned around and smiled: "Of course it's true, and I like it very much. Don't you have any confidence in yourself?"
Da Yu'er was speechless and said: "I was quite confident at first, but after so many years, you didn't want me, and even my sister was taken in by you later. I became less and less confident."
Jia Cong reached out and pinched her little face, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, don't I think you are still young? I want you to play happily for a few more years. Don't worry, from the day I brought you back, You are already mine, should you feel relieved now?"
Da Yu'er smiled sweetly and said, "Although I know, I'm still a little worried. Sisters in the mansion, Xiao Yu'er and I are not your people. Otherwise, why don't you go to my place tonight?"
After saying that, he looked at Jia Cong without blinking, with a trace of expectation in his eyes.
Jia Cong looked at her seriously and immediately understood what she was thinking.
Although she knew she felt sorry for her, she always felt like an outsider when spending time with her sisters, and she didn't want to go on like this.
Jia Cong said: "You really have to think about it. You are not very old. You will be fine if you wait a few more years."
Da Yuer nodded seriously and said: "Master, I have thought about it. I want to be your woman now. Master, are you willing to have me?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "What are you talking about? I will naturally want you. In fact, I have been craving for you for a long time. I just want to save the most beautiful thing for last. Since you can't wait, then I won't You're welcome."
Hearing what Jia Cong said, Dayu'er felt quite happy.
It's just that all the sisters have become Jia Cong's people and are very close to him. Although she and he sometimes flirt with each other, she always feels that there is something wrong. She doesn't want to continue like this.
I came earlier than Ruyan and my sister. Now that the result has been decided, I don't want to lag too far behind.
Dayu'er said: "Master, actually I have thought about it for a long time. When I came back with you, I was already mentally prepared. In the past few years, thanks to your favor, you have taken me everywhere to play, and I have gained a lot of knowledge. After playing for these years, I am very satisfied, and from now on I will concentrate on serving you."
Now that he understands Da Yu'er's thoughts, Jia Cong no longer pretends, let alone refuses, which will make Da Yu'er sad.
Jia Cong still likes the woman Da Yu'er very much and has some special feelings for her.
In addition, after being together for so many years, we have already developed feelings, and the feelings are deep, and we just have to take the last step.
As of today, this can be regarded as a matter of course.
Jia Cong didn't say anything anymore, turned around, hugged Dayu'er, and kissed her cherry little mouth fiercely.
He responded to Dayu'er with practical actions.
It wasn't until Dayu'er was almost out of breath that he let her go.
Dayu'er smiled shyly, took Jia Cong's arm, and walked towards her small courtyard...
······
Time flies by and the end of the year is here again in a blink of an eye.
this time
For the New Year, Ningguo Mansion is more fully prepared, with countless new year's goods, candies, cakes, dried fruits, melon seeds and other items.
In addition to the New Year's goods brought back by the caravan long ago, Heishan Village sent another batch over, and the old subordinates from Liaodong also had some brought over.
Wangcai also had someone prepare a batch of new year's goods and send them back.
I also specially purchased a batch from the south. They have everything from Shannan to Haibei.
Jia Cong sent a batch of new year's goods to Rongguo Mansion, some to Jia She, and some to Aunt Xue. Finally, he sent some to his father-in-law Lin Ruhai, and sent Lin Daiyu home for the New Year.
He sent Shi Xiangyun back to Shi's house and asked her to bring back a cart of new year's goods.
Mrs. You also asked You to send some New Year's goods there, and also gave them a thousand taels of silver to celebrate the New Year.
They have already sent their two daughters to their door, but I don't think so at all.
Although he has not really taken the second sister You and the third sister You into his pocket, he has already accepted them.
The two sisters spent most of their time in the Ningguo Mansion and lived in Youshi's courtyard. It was only a matter of time before they broke through the last layer of their relationship, just waiting for an opportunity.
After finishing this work, I divided some candies, dried fruits, melon seeds, pastries and other snacks, and gave one to each of the sisters so that they could use them as snacks or to entertain guests.
He also gave them a hundred gold and silver barley grains that were cast and engraved with good luck, good luck, good fortune, and good luck in the new year.
This can be regarded as a red envelope that I gave them. Whether they keep it for themselves or reward others is entirely up to them.
Naturally, the women in the family also had a share. It was up to them to keep it for themselves or take it home.
People like Yuanyang, Xiren, and Xiaohong are all descended from their parents and family members.
Yuanyang and Xiaohong were both born at home, and their parents lived in Rongguo Mansion.
Yuanyang's parents look after the house in their old house in Jinling, and his brother and sister-in-law work in Rongguo Mansion.
Xiaohong is the daughter of Lin Zhixiao, who is now the chief steward of Rongguo Mansion.
Xiren came here by selling himself, but his family is also in the capital. Both his parents have passed away, and he only has his brother and sister-in-law in the family.
Xiangling's mother also lived in Ningguo Mansion. When she was not with Jia Cong, she lived with her mother.
Qingwen also has a cousin who is now working with Jia Lian. He works as a small steward in Jia's Mining Industry. He doesn't have much contact with him on weekdays. During holidays, Qingwen will ask people to send some money and gifts.
These people followed Jia Cong and were all short of money. Jia Cong each gave them a sum of money to keep them company.
Qingwen, Chunxia Qiudong and others are the richest among the women in the family.
Following Jia Cong on the expedition, they took no less of the spoils and rewards they received. Jia Cong would not treat his own people badly if others had it. They all also had a share, and more than others.
After returning from Liaodong, he followed Jia Cong everywhere and ransacked his houses. He often helped Jia Cong make money, and Jia Cong would naturally share their share.
These people, calling them little rich women is not an exaggeration at all.
As for the sisters Ruyan and Da Yuer, they have no relatives in Beijing.
As the head of the Jia family, Jia Cong also handled some trivial matters in the family and distributed some benefits.
On the 30th day of the new year, I took everyone in the Jia family to perform a family sacrifice.
Then he took Youshi, Qin Keqing, Ping'er, Yuanyang and others to Rongguo Mansion to pay homage to Jia Mu.
As in previous years, everyone had New Year's Eve dinner at Jia Mu's place.
Jia Cong casually socialized and planned to return to Ningguo Mansion early. The women in the family had already prepared the New Year's Eve dinner and were waiting for Jia Cong to go back and spend the New Year's Eve together.
With their status, even if they come to Rongguo Mansion, they can only sit with those maids.
Jia Cong didn't want to wrong them, so he asked them to stay at home and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner by himself, waiting for him to go back and celebrate the New Year with them.
I have more New Year’s goods than Rongfu.
, better, naturally you have to prepare well.
It's just that Jia Cong now has a distinguished status, money, and status. All the young and old in the clan come over to make friends and toast, making Jia Cong overwhelmed and unable to get away for a while.
Jia Lian, Jia Huan, Jia Lan and others next to them looked at him with envy.
This is why people who are capable and useful can make people want to be fawning.
To use an old saying, it is: When you are poor in the busy city, no one cares about you, but when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives.
At this time, Jia Baoyu had disappeared long ago. He had already run to the ladies' table and started talking loudly.
After finally getting rid of the crowd, he spoke to Jia Lian and went to the ladies' table, intending to ask Youshi, Qin Keqing and others to leave together.
At this time, Jia Mu had already returned to her room.
Although she likes the excitement, she is already tired after a day of hard work. After all, she is old.
Seeing Jia Cong coming, Youshi, Yuanyang, Xichun and others wanted to get up and leave with Jia Cong. When Wang Xifeng saw Jia Cong, she refused to let him go and forced him to sit next to him.
Jia Cong had no choice but to sit down again, drink a few drinks with her, and laugh for a while.
Then he took Youshi, Qin Keqing, Ping'er, Yuanyang, Xichun and others away and returned to Ningguo Mansion.
After coming back, the place had already been arranged, waiting for Jia Cong and the others to come back.
Qingwen was bored with waiting, so she took a few little girls and started setting off firecrackers.
Seeing Jia Cong coming back, he stopped what he was doing and went back to the house with Jia Cong and the others.
In Jia Cong's room, all his women gathered together, and for a while, there was a beautiful scene of spring.
Youshi, Qin Keqing, Ping'er, Yuanyang, Qingwen, Xiren, Xiangling, Ruyan, Han Nianci, Yanhong, Xiaohong, Hailanzhu, Dayuer, Xiaoyuer, as well as Chunlan, Xiazhu, Qiuju, Dong Plum blossoms, and the joy of spring.
I didn't know this, but I was shocked when I counted them. Apart from Xichun, there were a total of eighteen people.
Of course, there are still five people who have never touched them, so there are thirteen people.
Throwing aside Youshi and Qin Keqing, these two shady people, they already have eleven women.
It's almost time to stop this, and try not to provoke others in the future.
They are all family members, there are no outsiders, and everyone does not see outsiders. After sitting down, they drank and joked.
After a while, Qingwen started playing guessing games with others, and the scene became more lively.
Everyone kept playing until late at night, and then they removed the banquet and replaced it with candies, melon seeds, pine nuts and other dried fruits. They chatted while drinking tea and eating melon seeds.
A few restless and restless people followed Qingwen, Xiao Yuer and others to set off firecrackers and fireworks in the yard, having a great time.
That night, no one left Jia Cong's yard.
If anyone is sleepy, he goes to the back room to sleep for a while, and then comes out to play again when he wakes up.
For the first time, Jia Cong didn't sleep. He went outside to set off firecrackers for a while. The sound of firecrackers outside never stopped and continued until dawn.
Looking at the warblers and swallows around him, Jia Cong also felt a sense of satisfaction.
This is my family, the family that I truly recognize, and the family that will accompany me for a lifetime.
From an unknown little transparent person, he has come step by step to where he is today. It took seven or eight years for him to have a huge amount of wealth and net worth, and he has also achieved a lofty status that is envied by everyone.
And there are so many beautiful and versatile confidantes around me.
After a few months, when I get married again, my family will be even more perfect.
With Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, these two versatile and stunning beauties, my life will be more colorful.
As soon as it dawned, everyone had the first meal of the New Year together.
Afterwards, Jia Cong was dressed neatly and prepared to enter the palace to congratulate him.
Youshi is also a third-grade imperial concubine and needs to enter the palace to pay New Year greetings. After putting on his clothes, he followed Jia Cong out of Ningguo Mansion.
, together with Jia Mu, Jia She, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and others, rushed to the palace to attend the congratulations.
I also want to stop by Yuanchun's place to wish her a happy birthday. That eldest sister's birthday is on the first day of the lunar new year.
After going through the process, at the end, the emperor and the supreme emperor held a banquet for the ministers in Tai Chi Gong, and the queen also entertained all the ministers in the harem.
Then everyone in the Jia family went to Yuanchun's palace to pay her birthday wishes and chatted with her before leaving the palace and returning to Jia's mansion.
After returning home, the first thing I did was to pay New Year's greetings to Jia Mu.
Afterwards, he paid New Year's greetings to Jia She, Mrs. Xing, Aunt Xue and other elders one by one.
The entire Jia family gathered in Rongguo Mansion. After paying New Year's greetings to each other, they dispersed to find a place to eat, drink and have fun.
When Jia Cong returned to Ningguo Mansion, there were many people waiting there to wish him New Year's greetings.
Most of these people are shopkeepers and some young people from the He clan. People come to visit, and Jia Cong can only socialize.
Among them are Jia Yun, Jia Qiang, Jia Jun and other juniors.
In front of these people, I am also an elder, so I naturally have to comfort and encourage them.
Jia Yun is now working under her, helping her with her business, and she is already a small steward. Jia Qiang works with Jia Lian, and considering her own face, she does well.
Jia Jun is still studying. Although he is not as good as Jia Lan, he is still sensible.
Group after group was sent away, and the threshold was almost broken. Until the afternoon, almost no one came.
Jia Cong took a short rest and then went to the Lin Mansion to pay New Year's greetings to his old father-in-law, Lin Ruhai.
After playing with Lin Daiyu for a while and having dinner with the father and daughter, he said goodbye and left, returning to Ningguo Mansion.
