After several consecutive court meetings, Emperor Jingshun still did not express his position.
It seems that this matter will be fruitless for a while.
However, not taking a stand is an attitude in itself.
The consequence of such laissez-faire is that there are more and more memorials to impeach Wang Ziteng.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is becoming increasingly obvious that the Wangziteng Building will collapse.
If nothing else happens, a nine-sided general change is not far away.
Li Shouzhong and Feng Yibo, masters and apprentices, tacitly understood this.
After all, the two of them had already guessed the general direction, so they sat and watched the development of the situation every day.
If it's a minor trouble, Feng Yibo would naturally not mind helping.
After all, Wang Ziteng is Baochai's biological uncle, and he is also a real relative.
But now the trend has arrived, let alone Feng Yibo.
Even Li Shouzhong and the four kings and eight princes were unable to support him.
Fortunately, Feng Yibo has never taken advantage of Wang Ziteng's influence, so he is naturally not afraid of being implicated by him.
Only Jia Yucun, Mei Hanlin, Yang Shilang, Li Yuanwailang, etc. were the officials who relied on Prince Tengqifu.
At this time, I will be in panic all day long.
These days, they all gathered at Rong Mansion.
In order to find some sense of security around Jia Zheng, the "quasi-father of the country".
Speaking of Jia Zheng, he came back when the little prince was one month old.
When the dragon heir was born in Yuanchun, Emperor Jingshun ordered Jia Zheng to take over and return to Beijing.
It was a favor to Yuanchun and ended his exile early.
Jia Zheng was a little depressed after receiving the order to return to Beijing.
He is working vigorously in Yazhou.
Now that I am transferred back to the capital to teach, how can I have the pleasure of teaching students outside?
However, when he heard that Yuanchun had given birth to an heir, he came back excitedly.
It was not because he came back to be praised by these people, but because he felt that the Jia family had finally made some contributions to the royal family.
The fact that the emperor has no heirs is not just a matter for the emperor alone.
Who among the knowledgeable people in the Great Wei Dynasty is not anxious?
But now, only the Jia family can relieve the Lord's worries!
What's more, the future emperor is likely to be his grandson.
This incident is enough to make Jia Zheng angry for the rest of his life!
How could he still sit still?
After receiving the order, he immediately returned to the capital.
After hearing the news of his return, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu went out to welcome him on the first day.
In Jinmen, I picked up Jia Zheng, who was a little out of shape.
There was nothing he could do, not to mention the wind and sun in Yazhou, the boat ride back and forth almost killed him.
In just one year, there were three or four back and forths.
How can Jia Zheng, who has always been pampered and not young at all, endure this?
Even Baoyu, his own son, almost didn't recognize his old father when he saw him.
In the distance I saw a dark, thin old man.
If he hadn't been wearing official uniform, he would have thought he was a fisherman returning from fishing at sea.
Because he still had some errands to pay, Jia Zheng didn't dare to go home first.
Only a few people were asked to greet Jia Mu first, and then they were ordered to go home and serve.
Please wait until the next day to meet the Holy Spirit, and everything will be reported back.
Jia Zhengcai returned home peacefully.
This interview with the Holy Spirit went extremely smoothly.
Emperor Jingshun learned from the previous lessons and made no detours.
First, he was directly given three months off so that he could have a good rest at home.
After you have recovered your health, you can worry about your future errands.
I asked about Jia Mu's situation again.
Hearing that the old lady was approaching her eightieth birthday, she immediately issued a special order to allow Mother Jia to hold an eightieth birthday as an exception.
It can be regarded as a filial piety for Yuanchun.
When Jia Zheng went back and told the matter, everyone in the Jia family felt honored.
Jia Zheng was away for two years and suffered countless hardships.
As soon as he returned to the house, his true colors were immediately revealed.
Of course, it is also to nourish the body.
In short, all the affairs of the house, big and small, were ignored.
I just read books every day, and when I feel bored, I play chess and have wine with the Qing guests.
Or in the inner house, they can talk about family happiness with Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Baoyu, etc.
Not to mention that Jia Zheng will be raised at home.
The rest of the Jia family began to prepare for Jia Mu's 80th birthday.
Because Yuanchun gave birth to a son, many relatives and friends from far away came to the capital to congratulate him.
Therefore, it is estimated that the birthday party for Jia’s mother and friends will exceed previous expectations.
Afraid that the postponed banquet could not be arranged, Jia She brought the two governments together to discuss it.
It is finally scheduled to start on July 28th and end on August 5th.
It is planned to hold extended banquets for men and women in Ning and Rong.
Among them, Ningguo Mansion only invited official guests.
That is, all the men.
Rongguo Mansion invites guests alone.
That is, women from various families.
At the same time, several large places such as Zhujin Pavilion and Jiayintang were built in the Grand View Garden.
It is used as a retreat for noble people.
After several more discussions, the charter was finalized:
On the twenty-eighth day of the seventh month, the royal family, consorts, princes, princes, princesses, princesses, princesses, kings, princes, ladies, etc. are invited.
Come and try it quickly. 】
On the 29th, there was the governor of the government and the imperial edict.
On the 30th, all the officials and edicts, as well as relatives, friends and guests from far and near came.
On the first day of August, it was Jia She's family dinner.
On the second day of junior high school, it was Jia Zheng's side.
On the third day of junior high school, it was Jia Zhen and Jia Lian's father and son who joined forces.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, all the elders and young children of the Jia family gathered together for a family dinner.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, Lai Dalin Zhixiao and other family stewards gathered together for the day.
After the news of Jia's mother's birthday came out, there has been an endless stream of birthday gifts since early July.
The Ministry of Rites also followed the order and presented a gift from Emperor Jingshun:
A pair of gold and jade Ruyi, four ends of colored satin, four gold and jade cups each, and a thousand taels of money.
Yuanchun also ordered the eunuch to present a golden longevity star and a box of longevity incense.
There are also a pair of agarwood crutches, two strands of Nanzhu, gold and silver ingots, colorful satin jade cups and so on.
Seeing that there is action in the palace, everyone knows the principle of chasing the rise and killing the fall.
Regardless of whether they have relatives or not, anyone who has some status in the capital will come to Jia's house to step on them.
Everyone who interacts with the prince, the consort, and civil and military officials, large and small, must be polite and memorable.
Some officials were unable to celebrate the emperor due to their status.
After hearing what happened here, I came to give gifts with a shy face.
With the emperor's orders, he would not refuse anyone who came to Jia's house, and he would accept them all.
A large table was specially set up in the Rongfu hall, which was covered with red carpet.
Put out all the fine things and ask Jia Mu to take a look.
In the first day or two, Jia Mu was happy to come over and see what was new.
Later, I got tired of looking at it, so I stopped looking at it and just said:
"Tell someone to take it away first. We'll look at it another day when we're bored."
On the twenty-eighth day, the two mansions were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.
The sound of sheng, Xiao and drum music is heard all over the city.
In Ning Mansion, all the four princes and eight princes are present.
There were also Yongchang's Prince Consort, Leshan's Prince and several aristocratic princes who attacked.
In the Rong Mansion, the imperial concubines of Nan'an and Beijing, the princes and princes of the family, arrived one after another.
Mother Jia brought Mrs. Xing, Mrs. You, etc., all of them dressed up to welcome her.
After everyone met, they were invited to the Jiayin Hall in the Grand View Garden.
After tea, I changed my clothes and went out to the Rongqing Hall to pay my respects and take a seat.
After being humble for a long time, everyone took their seats.
The two seats above are Princess Nan'an and Princess Beijing.
Next, in order, are the wives of the princes and marquises.
Baochai, Li Mengshi, Xue Mu and Aunt Li were also among them, but they were not very conspicuous.
Taking a seat on the left, the guests are Hou Gaoming of Jinxiang and Bo Gaoming of Linchang.
The starting point on the right is Jia Mu's main position.
Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, together with You and Li Wan, as well as several daughters-in-law from the clan, stood behind Jia Mu.
Lin Zhixiao and Lai Jiajia led all the wives to serve food and wine outside the bamboo curtain.
Zhou Rui's family led several maids to wait for calls behind the screen.
Anyone who came to serve him would have been entertained and arranged to go elsewhere.
At this time, a playlist was brought down the stairs and handed to the daughter-in-law who was in charge first.
The daughter-in-law took it and handed it to Lin Zhixiao's family.
Lin Zhixiao's family was not qualified to come forward, so they put it on a small tea tray, walked into the curtain and handed it to Youshi's concubine Peifeng.
Peifeng took it and quietly presented it to Youshi.
Youshi carried it personally before walking to the table.
Concubine Nan'an gave in humbly before ordering an auspicious opera.
Then he asked Princess Beijing to also click on it.
Everyone gave in again, and then ordered the one chosen at random to sing.
After a while, the dishes were served and the soup was served.
After giving rewards to those who followed, everyone changed their clothes and entered the garden.
At this time, Princess Nan'an asked about Baoyu, the "uncle of the country", and Jia Mu smiled and said:
"Today, several temples recited the 'Safeguard and Longevity Sutra', and he knelt down to pray."
This was specially arranged for fear that Baoyu would offend the noble man.
In fact, Baoyu has returned.
Concubine Nan'an smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
Asked the ladies again.
Jia Mu understood this and knew that this was the real drama, so she immediately foreshadowed:
"The sisters are very sick, very weak, and shy around others, so I asked them to show me the house. There is a little actor over there who has passed on to a group. He is in the hall over there, accompanying some cousins. We are also watching a show."
Concubine Nan'an smiled and said:
"In that case, ask someone to come and see you."
Jia Mu nodded, turned back to Li Wan and said:
"Go and bring Xiangyun, Baoqin, and Daiyu."
These few people had been brought to the mansion a few days ago to accompany Jia Mu.
So they all live in the mansion.
As soon as Li Wan turned around, Jia Mu added:
"Just ask your third sister to come with you."
Li Wan didn't know the deeper meaning, so he agreed and hurriedly called.
When I arrived at Jia Mu's side, I saw the little sisters eating fruits and watching a show.
Baoyu was also having fun here.
Li Wan said with a smile, and the four people who were ordered quickly followed him to the garden.
After seeing everyone, the four of them came up hand in hand to say hello.
Regardless of whether they had seen it or not, they all praised it in unison.
Among them, Yao Xiangyun knew the most. Even Concubine Nan'an smiled when she saw her:
"You're here and you heard me coming but you didn't come out and you're still waiting for someone to invite you? I'll settle the score with your uncle tomorrow."
The Shi brothers guard Yunnan and Guizhou respectively, and they are the horns of each other with Jiaozhi.
Therefore, the two families often visited each other. Xiangyun and his aunt had met Princess Nan'an many times, and they had become very familiar with her.
But there were other people here, and Xiangyun only smiled innocently.
Concubine Nan'an then held Tanchun in one hand and Daiyu in the other, and asked:
"Teenage?"
After the two answered, she praised them again and again.
After hearing Daiyu's identity, Princess Nan'an smiled and said:
"Your husband is a big deal! By the way, Mrs. Feng's wife is here too?"
Daiyu blushed with embarrassment and looked towards Baochai.
Princess Nan'an didn't call Baochai over, she just smiled and nodded at her.
Baochai was a little confused, but upon seeing this, he quickly stood up and bowed.
In the end, only Baoqin was left, and Princess Nan'an also looked at it carefully and praised it highly.
Finally, he looked at Jia Mu and smiled again:
"They are all good! I don't know which one I should praise!"
Jia Mu smiled, knowing that she was satisfied with Tan Chun.
Someone here has already sorted out some spare gifts.
Four gold and jade rings each, and four strings of fragrant beads on the wrists.
Princess Nan'an smiled and said:
"Sisters, don't laugh at me, save it for the girls."
The four of them thanked each other hurriedly.
Later, Princess Beijing also presented four gifts.
There is no need to elaborate on the rest.
We had tea here and strolled around the garden for a while.
Jia Mu asked everyone to sit down again.
Concubine Nan'an then left and said:
"I feel unhappy and the inconvenience will linger for a long time. If I don't come today, I really can't do it. Therefore, please forgive me for saying goodbye first."
Jia Mu knew that the purpose of her trip had been achieved.
It is not convenient to force him to stay now.
Everyone gave in once more, and then they were sent to the garden gate.
Concubine Nan'an said goodbye and left in a sedan chair.
Then Princess Beijing sat for a while and said goodbye.
The rest of the people, some walked the entire journey, and some did not sit down to say goodbye.
Baochai and Li Mengshi are all old relatives, but it is inconvenient to disturb them any more at this time.
So he left halfway.
Jia Mu worked hard all day and saw no guests the next day.
All the hospitality was given to Mrs. Xing, the noble lady of the house.
Those children from aristocratic families who came to pay their respects only went to the hall to salute.
Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, etc. took turns to return the gift, and then sent him to Ning Mansion to sit down.
Feng Yibo arrived on the first day and gave him generous gifts.
One of the statues, a one-foot-tall top-grade rosewood Buddha statue, was quite popular with Jia Mu.
After all, everyone knew that he had a lumber business, and the things he sent seemed to match his identity.
If you give a big golden Buddha as a gift, it will make people suspicious.
Let's say that all the feasts here are over, it's already the sixth day of August.
Everyone in the Jia family was exhausted, and the last day was even more chaotic.
There was even some rift between the two houses.
At this time, Jia Mu received a secret message from Princess Nan'an.
I thought it was just for an appointment, but I opened it and took a look.
But I found that it was completely different from what I said before!
It turned out that Concubine Nan'an had said she would come to Duzhong before and had sent a secret message to Jia Mu.
At that time, there was no birthday gift for Jia Mu.
Princess Nan'an said at that time that she would come to Duzhong to see her grandson Xiang's daughter-in-law in person.
So I informed Jia Mu in advance.
As the legitimate grandson of the Prince of Nan'an, it stands to reason that he should be married to his legitimate daughter.
However, Princess Nan'an named Rongfu and directly excluded Xichun.
But there is only one legitimate daughter in Rong Mansion, Yuanchun.
Of course, Tanchun, the imperial concubine's sister, was the only one who could take advantage of her.
Originally this was a good thing, but it also depended on fate!
It doesn't matter if he's in love or not, after all, no one has said anything.
But now Princess Nan'an has received a secret message again, and she has started to work as a matchmaker.
The letter said that he wanted to facilitate the marriage between the four princes and eight princes and Donghai County, and let Tanchun go to Donghai County to become a concubine.
He also praised Donghai County for the same flowers, especially the women in Donghai County who were in charge.
If she were to marry him, the Jia family would not be able to benefit from it all.
He also said that they were old sisters who would give such a good thing to the Jia family.
If she is willing, Princess Nan'an will personally go to Donghai County to propose marriage.
When Jia Mu took a look at it, she dared to fall in love with the Duke of Donghai, but she still didn’t know?
So which song is this singing about?
Although I can't figure out the true purpose of Princess Nan'an.
But anyway, it seems to be a good thing.
When the matter involved Tanchun, Jia's mother called her parents, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, to have a secret discussion.
"What? Let Tanchun marry Donghai County?"
