Mrs. Xing reversed the Dream of Red Mansions
Chapter 57 Happy Return
Xing Wei first accompanied Jia She to listen to the imperial decree in the Taiying Hall, and the reward for Jia She was - Jia She was promoted to noble.He was promoted from the original third-class Marquis to the second-class duke. Although he was not as dazzling as his grandfather's protector, he was also a second-class auxiliary duke. With super-level treatment, he would no longer have to kneel down to salute anyone who is not a prince.
Xing Wei also followed Jia She, and won the honorary title of the second-class Duke's wife, which is also a super-quality treatment. Only then did Xing Wei know why the clothes on her body were different. First of all, the color was dark purple, which was the prince. They can only be worn by those of higher ranks, but they were wearing light purple marquis robes earlier, and the patches on their boa robes are also different. They used to be birds, but now they are beasts. Jia She's title is not of the same rank. up.
Xing Wei didn't have a big idea about other things, only heard that "...you don't need to pay homage if you are not a king, but you don't need to pay homage,..." I was happy in my heart, and life in this world can be described as a life The "sesame blossoms are rising steadily," the only unbeautiful thing is that when you meet someone with a higher rank than your own, you have to bow down and bow down, and you have to enter the palace to kowtow to the "nobles" during festivals. Now it's good, with this A "gold medal for avoiding death", although her knees have not been completely liberated, and it is inevitable that people will bow their heads in the future, but this is already the best result. At any time, even in the previous life, no matter how good she is, it is inevitable. There will be times when it depends on people's faces, and it is already very satisfying to have the current result.
Xing Wei took a rest before changing her clothes. After receiving the decree in Taiying Hall, she went to Kunning Palace to receive the empress's award and the golden disc treasure book. This is the official super-grade second-class assistant. The Duke's wife is only one rank lower than the first-class Hu (Founder) Duke.Unless it is a formal occasion, there are only a handful of people who can get Xing Wei to kneel.
Jia Amnesty stayed in Taiying Hall to report to His Majesty. She came back first after leaving Kunning Palace. Of course, the carriage she was riding in was equipped for her level. Although it was not as comfortable as her own special four-wheeled carriage, it was not as comfortable as hers. The lengthened and enlarged carriage is much smaller, the key is that the things laid out on it are all high-quality goods.
There was a well-equipped carriage to sit in, and naturally there was a guard of honor to accompany her. It was a beautiful journey for her, with beauties leading the way, handsome men holding flags and escorting her. The journey was full of gongs and drums, and she walked around the inner city before returning to Rongguo Mansion.
The gate of Rongguo Mansion was opened long ago to welcome her, the hostess. Xing Wei got out of the carriage, and the distinguished Mrs. Shi's family had already led all the families to wait outside. She is still one level lower than Jiamu's first-class protector, but since she lost her husband, her title will naturally drop. In serious comparison, her freshly-baked second-class lady is not much worse than her.
Now she can only rely on her status as a mother-in-law to show off her power on herself. Thinking of this, Xing Wei let out a sigh of relief, not in vain to subsidize the money to the people. Not only did he not get any money, but he got a lot of it instead. There was even a joke in the capital that Jia She was a "silly fool", but was his nine-year county lord really for nothing?Could this title be bought with millions of taels of silver?
It is said that "there is a god standing three feet above the head", according to her, there is no need to wait for the god to open his eyes. As long as you are willing to do it with your heart, the people will not see it, and those in power will not fail to praise it. Promotion and appointment are only a matter of time That's all.
Xing Wei saluted the old lady first when she got out of the car. At any time, if someone is sorry for herself, she can't slap her in the face on the surface. Otherwise, what is reasonable becomes unreasonable.
The old lady dodged a little, but in the end she did. Xing Wei was wearing a court dress, and now she dared not accept it calmly.Xing Wei was not pretentious either, she helped the old lady all the way back, sat with the old lady for a while, said a few words, told him that Jia Amnesty was kept by the Holy Majesty to talk, and he didn't know when he would come back, so he left and went back to himself yard.
Although they have been away from home for nine years, the two sons have tidied up the courtyard room first, and left someone to clean it earlier. There are no traces of weeds growing indiscriminately in this room, on the ground, on the ground, and on the walls. Cheng Yin, a scene full of vitality.
Looking at the furnishings in the house, it gathered the original favorites of Rong Guogong and Xi County's homeland. They are all things I like, and I don't feel unfamiliar at all, especially the two children lying side by side on the bed in the bedroom. They are my own. Heart-to-heart babies, with them, I have the whole world, and my heart is slowly filled with contentment and happiness.
As soon as he changed his clothes, Jia Lian came over and said that he had made all the preparations for the imperial decree. Xing Wei nodded, let him talk aside, and asked him how he was doing in the past few years. Saying it again, Xing Wei was still very happy for him.
Being selected as a scholar at a young age, this can be regarded as a young genius.Although it is not difficult to test a scholar in this era, according to the proportion of the population, it is really not an easy task. Don’t you see that the white-haired old man calls himself a boy because he only passed the boy’s test and is stuck in the level of a scholar. Every time he took the exam for a scholar, he still shaved his beard to take the exam. If he failed the exam, he would still be a "boy" until his death.
Jia Lian blushed. He had heard a lot of boasting, but he still felt embarrassed when his stepmother praised her in person.
"This is what a son should do, and it is best taught by his parents." Although it was a polite remark, it was also from Jia Lian's heart.
"It's all taught by your grandpa. When we come back this time, your father and I should thank your grandfather properly. If it weren't for him, you would know that your father is doing well. Let him urge you to study. I might not be able to take the exam for this scholar in my life." Xing Wei laughed, Jia She is just a job, after making arrangements, he can get a good result if he plunges into it, let him study and think, but he wants him old life.
Jia Lian also knew that not to mention his father, even his second uncle, who was praised as a good "reader" since he was a child, did not pass the exam as a scholar, and now he has delayed Jia Zhu. Let alone his father, he never liked reading since he was a child.
"Second Aunt wanted to occupy Brother Zhu's yard for a big wedding, but Brother Ying got in the way. She was not feeling well at the moment, and mother knew better when she looked back." The family members were also good, and they often communicated. There is nothing much to say, and besides, there is no rush to say anything at this moment, but the second room is unpredictable, so it is better to send a letter to the adults in advance to make them prepare.
Xing Wei nodded, expressing that she understood. After thinking for a while, she told Jia Lian, "If your father and I want to separate the second room completely this time, there may be some gossip, and I'm afraid it will offend many people. You You have to be mentally prepared." Xing Wei knew about Wang's moving half of the warehouse, and she knew from the time she left that Han's too weak, sooner or later she would not be able to withstand the schemes of Jia Mu and Wang, and she could replace Rong The government has taken care of the family affairs for six years, and the old lady has been suppressed and docile, unable to communicate with the outside world, which already shows that she is full of means.
"What does mother plan to do?" Jia Lian also knew that it was not appropriate for the second room to live with the big room. It was not because they were afraid that they would waste money on food and lodging. It was just that this family was not worried, and they were ambitious and wanted to do something big. Without foresight, only looking at the immediate interests, the whole family was brought to the guillotine that day, and they didn't know the reason.
My family is safe and sound for the king and the people, so I can't be killed by these careless relatives.
"Your second aunt emptied half of our storeroom, you know that?" I really thought that there were countless things left by me, and they were all gifts from my ancestors for generations. It's disrespect to the royal family, but the countless Wangs have even hollowed out half of them. Her life is in danger this time, and the old lady can't save her life.
"It's all from the emperor?" Jia Lian was also taken aback, not only by Wang's boldness, but also by his stepmother Xing's "game". It was a desperate game. "does it worth?"
"Great meritorious service, buy people's hearts," Xing Wei sighed, "Our family started with military exploits, and we don't have a deep background. We still had military power in our hands earlier, but your father handed it over to us, so we can reassure the higher-ups. point, otherwise, how could you let your father go out to be a magistrate?" Xing Wei would not think that Mr. Zhang would hide Jia Lian's family history, and what Jia Amnesty has done in these years. With Mr. Zhang's precepts and deeds, I am afraid that Jia Lian will know He has more things than Jia She, but because he knows more and thinks too much, he can't let go of some things and handles them with dread.Furthermore, civil servants and honored nobles had fundamentally different origins, and naturally the methods of life-saving cannot all be the same.
Civil servants live for fame, and generals who have no real power will sooner or later be meat on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others.
However, if the military general has too much power and reputation, he needs timely self-pollution to save his life. Therefore, there are many prodigal sons in the noble family. Is it because their family really doesn't care about their sons?No, it's just one of the parents' balancing measures, in order to save the family's life.
"I got two more Wanmin umbrellas in nine years. If your father hadn't stopped me earlier, I would have had all three." When the second term of office was about to expire, Jia Amnesty heard the rumor that the people of the three counties had returned. To make the Wanmin Umbrella, he hurriedly sent someone to stop it. This last time, he really couldn't stop it, so he received this huge Wanmin Umbrella again.It's merit, and it's also the source of suspicion from above, "A meritorious military general, representatives of your foreign family's civil servants, and the people of these five counties, you said, if our family doesn't come up with something to be caught by the sage, can he sleep at ease?"
It's not at ease. Jia Lian has long heard from her grandfather that she is a knowledgeable stepmother, and let herself get in touch with her more. In Xi County for several years, she has almost retired to the second line and rarely participates in her father's affairs. Besides, those things are in the hands of men It's not a big deal in my eyes, what's rare is this kind of "big right and wrong", how can ordinary women see it so clearly? "Self-defilement? But?..."
"But your father is reluctant to let you make mistakes and let others catch him. He doesn't have many brains to make big mistakes, so he can only use your second uncle to do the surgery." Xing Wei looked at Jia Lian with a smile. Self-pollution, he is a separated brother, but he will be said a few words of ungratefulness and ungratefulness, but Jia Zheng Wang is connected with the old lady, no one can bear this "unfilial" label, but what a shame Then again, this "family heirloom" stolen from his family's ancestors, even if the old lady Jia Mushi wanted to stop Jia Amnesty from pursuing Jia Zheng Wang's crimes, she would not be able to stop Jia Zheng Wang's crimes. Mrs. Wang sweeps them out with a broom, is it necessary to keep them to live with the old lady for a hundred years?Not disgusting enough to think about?
Jia Lian also understood the meaning of it. He also "sees how the old lady treats the second uncle from a young age."
But she repeatedly persecuted her father, and even ignored the death of her own mother and brother. If Jia Lian could not be sure, she couldn't help asking whether her father was born by the old lady?
Although Xing Wei's "teaching" is not quite the same as the theory taught by Mr. Zhang to Jia Lian, who emphasized loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, but Xing Wei's theory clearly only cares about himself and cares about others.
Families, clans, and clans live together in order to have someone to help them in times of trouble. She is good, and if she extends her meaning, she wishes she could guard the Rongguo Mansion and enjoy the glory alone.
No, Jia Lian naturally knew that his parents were not the kind of people who only cared about themselves. The Jia clan in Ningguo Mansion, Beijing and Jinling all helped, but they were just very mean and unkind to this second uncle's family.
Mother, eldest brother, Jia Lian lowered his head and closed his eyes. How could he forgive them for his mother's hatred, his brother's hatred, and his father's humiliation?What's more, both parents are involved.
Xing Wei paused, thinking of the girl Yu mentioned in Jia Ying's letter, and added: "If there is a trouble, I'm afraid my marriage with you will also be hindered in the future."
Jia Lian was also taken aback, although he was moved, but he was still young, he hadn't thought about this level, also, if there is an "unfilial" father in a family, no one in other families would feel at ease marrying their daughter to this family son?Jia Lian smiled wryly in his heart, all three of his mother and son would be burdened by the second wife, and both of them lost their lives, so he would delay their marriage because of him?
But it's impossible to let the second wife go, not to mention revenge for the mother, but what they have done in the past three years has long been unable to let the Rongguo Mansion enjoy peace. "As soon as possible, not too late, my son is still young, so there is no need to worry about it." If you can avenge your mother, what's the point of not marrying for the rest of your life?
The mother and the son were talking, and then the atmosphere was a bit heavy. After a moment of silence, they talked about other things, but they deliberately missed the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion, and only talked about the members of the Zhang family, Xing Wei and Jia Lian. After that, I will visit the Zhang family, and then the Xing family and so on.
Jia Ying, who was sleeping inside, woke up first. When she heard the movement outside, she got up first. When she saw her mother sitting upright, she threw herself into Xing Wei's arms and said coquettishly, "Mother?" One word contains too many thoughts and feelings, The mother and son looked at each other, and tears filled their eyes instantly.
Xing Wei let out a "huh", hugged her son in her arms, and patted his back silently, rubbing her head against his son's body, feeling his body temperature. After three years of separation, it would be a lie to say that she doesn't miss her, but her son Aspiring to study, how can she stop it?
Looking at the warm scene of mother and child in front of him, Jia Lian didn't feel envious, but he still got up and said goodbye to Xing Wei, "I'll go and see if there is anything missing." , Hateful, Jia Lian also felt a surge of energy in his heart when he thought that the big revenge was about to be avenged.
Xing Wei agreed and watched Jia Lian go out.There were only mother and son left, but Jia Ying became shy. She said she had grown up before, but now she is lying in her mother's arms and acting like a baby, but she let her second brother see it. Later, he laughed at himself for being a child who didn't grow up. child.
Hurriedly breaking away from Xing Wei, she stood honestly aside and saluted Xing Wei: "Son Jia Ying, I have met my mother, send my mother hello."
Xing Wei had no choice but to sit upright, and said "um". Is it good in this era? The good thing is that people are more polite and polite than people in the previous world. It also pays attention to avoiding taboos, artificially alienating the relationship between mother and child.
"You have been well-behaved in the past three years. You have caused troubles and angered your grandpa Zhang, right?" Jia Ying left them with the excuse of studying, but returned to the capital to study with the old man but couldn't sit still, and Xing Wei didn't want to restrain him. Jia Lian didn't force her, she persuaded the old man behind her back, and the old man knew what Xing Wei meant, so he just turned a blind eye, or else he had so much time to go to beauties.
"It's okay, it's okay." Jia Ying asked, her eyes wandering and she didn't dare to look at Xing Wei, but she didn't have much confidence in her answer.But he didn't know that his mother had already had a heart-to-heart relationship with his second brother, and she didn't intend to restrain him from studying, but thought that what he said earlier was to blame him for not listening to Zhang's grandfather, which made the old man angry.
"Ah," Xing Wei sighed. She didn't intend to hold Jia Ying at all, but she was a little troubled by his "unbelief". They all said that filial sons are born under the stick, but if a child has self-control since childhood, he can Keeping promises and demanding yourself, isn't that more promising than parents beating?But seeing him so restrained, I felt very sad in my heart, and waved, "Come and sit next to mother, let mother give you a good hug, after a few years, mother will make it up." After all, children are still children, if everyone If you can be self-taught, what do you need to teach your parents?
Jia Ying hesitated for a moment, but came over and sat down, Yiyan sat down next to Xing Wei, Xing Wei stretched out her arms, and the mother and child leaned together, Xing Wei whispered in his ear: "Mother doesn't expect you either. Studying is as good as your second brother. What kind of examinations are for scholars, candidates, and Jinshi? I just hope that you can study well. You can’t learn from your second uncle. Don’t think about those things you shouldn’t get, but you can’t be unreasonable and be tricked by others but don’t know how to fight back.” It’s true to teach your son not to be greedy for titles, but you can’t just obey and be squeezed by others, Xing Wei herself It's not that I can't adapt to the laws of this world, but my son was born and raised, but some systems have to be adapted from an early age.
Jia Ying is three years older. Three years later, he is not as innocent as he was three years ago. At least he can understand the subtext in his mother's words. Father's title is the second brother. We don't want to, but don't be too stupid. Be able to protect yourself and be bullied.
"Well." The second brother, Jia Lian, has always been kind to him, including the whole Zhang family, but the little uncle has always reminded him that he must not have the heart of harming others, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. Is there a gap between them? On the first level, not to mention that there is nothing to be suspicious of, but one must also be careful of slander behind the scenes. It may be safe to have no disputes and no benefits, but if there is a dispute, you may turn your face and deny anyone.Furthermore, there may be no scruples between brothers, but after they become a family in the future, there may be rifts after having a wife and children, and gradually they will be alienated from this relationship.
Xing Wei's rebellion came from her previous life experience, but she didn't know that her son was taught to be "different" by Xing Zhongye. She thought that her son was still young and would not be separated in the future. She had time to subtly influence her, so she stopped preaching , just enjoy the warmth at this time with peace of mind.
After a long time, Jia Amnesty finally returned to the mansion, sent someone back to inform her in advance, woke up her daughter and washed herself up, and Xing Wei dressed herself up again, just in time Jia Ying went to find Jia Lian, four mother and son, together with Jia Mu and the others Go to the door to greet you.
If Jia Amnesty came back alone, there would be no need for such a big battle, just like when Xing Wei came back earlier, he was wearing court clothes and a guard of honor, which represented not himself, but the glory of his identity given by the higher-ups .So even though Jia's mother, as a mother, has an imperial order, she has to come out to welcome her son and daughter-in-law back home.
The old ladies came out to greet them in person. No matter how unwilling Jia Zheng and Wang were, they had to dress neatly to accompany them. There were also Han who had been out of the yard easily earlier, and Jia Jing and his wife from Ningguo Mansion with their children.
This is the glory of the family. Although it is tiring, ordinary people regret not having this opportunity and destiny.
Xing Wei didn't talk much to Jia Jing and his wife earlier, then they greeted her and went back to Ningguo Mansion. Now, while waiting for Jia's amnesty, she will talk to old Fu Shi, naturally first Thanking her for taking care of Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Fu glanced at Mother Jia out of the corner of her eye, and said, "I have a responsibility."
Xing Wei patted her hand, and also knew that her nephew and daughter-in-law, who were separated from the mansion, were really not easy to get ahead. Although they also carried the title of the former patriarch's wife, they were neither herself nor Jia She, so they were ashamed to expose their family ugliness. The forced old lady didn't dare to confront her head-on.
Mrs. Fu glanced at Mrs. Han behind her, and whispered to Xing Wei, "Your younger brother and sister can stand up." Although she helped Mrs. Han before, if Mrs. Han couldn't stand up by herself, how could she bear the burden of the Rongguo Mansion? The burden of the year forced the old lady to release Wang to take the lead?
The key point is that the Han family has a lot of eyes, and it's not like an old lady like Xing Wei who can "see" desperately can't move a single step.
Xing Wei nodded, but the Han family is a real person who doesn't look like a real person. She looks like she has no ambitions, but she can control people. She obeys her will and acts according to her wishes. It is a cooperative relationship, and people are quite understanding, and they are not greedy to occupy the title of the Rongguo Mansion, otherwise, if she is like the Wang family, I am afraid that there will be no dregs left by her.
Lao Fu and Xing Wei worked together a few times, and the two had a tacit understanding. After saying these few words that others could hardly understand, they talked about the girls' school again. In recent years, Jia's girls' school can be regarded as The fame has spread far and wide, attracting some girls from relatives' families to come to the attached school. Now that the old Mrs. Fu has given birth to a daughter who has reached the age of reading and writing, he pays more attention to the teachers and teaching atmosphere of the girls' school. I missed my daughter's future.
The two chatted happily, and quickly made an appointment for the itinerary. After the ancestor worship was over, they would go to the girls' school first.
After waiting for a while, I saw Jia She came over, and there was a group of people far away. Unlike Xing Wei, Jia She was riding on a horse, waving his hands all the way, and his vigor made people more envious and jealous Hate, old Fu pursed his lips and smiled at Xing Wei: "Master Hou is more and more enviable in this outfit, you are really lucky." While talking, when Jia Amnesty approached, old Fu suddenly opened his eyes wide, Looking at the patch pattern on Jia She's clothes, he asked hesitantly, "This is, is this a promotion?"
It turns out that Xing Wei did not disclose the news of Jia She's promotion to the noble. Of course, she told Jia Lian that this child knew something in her heart, but she didn't make it public. The color and patch of her clothes are sudden, which is why old Fu made the discovery just now.
Xing Wei smiled and nodded to confirm his guess. Old Fu clasped his palms together and said, "Amitabha." Jen is useless?Now Mrs. Fu is very grateful to Jia She and his wife, and she can't wait to set up a longevity tablet for them. She knows what her own son is like, but she is so spoiled by her. She didn't expect that Uncle She would become a man after following him. After becoming a person, not only can manage the shop, but now he has become an official family member.
The old lady just stood still and didn't move, but Xing Wei didn't care. She called the two sons and took the youngest daughter to Jia She, and personally helped him lead the horse and waited for him to land. He patted Jia Ying's head twice, hugged Jia Ying's head and rubbed it twice, and hugged his daughter in his arms before smiling at Xing Wei. Sure enough, Xing Wei knew him best. Of course, he most wanted to be with his wife and sons!
Jia She led Xing Wei and the children to stand in front of the old lady. Xing Wei took the daughter and held her in her arms. Jia She then cupped his fists and saluted the old lady. I'm worrying you." As a local, Jia She, although he has a heart for Jia's mother, he can talk more than Xing Wei in the scene, especially now that he has experienced a lot, and he can "bear" and "pretend" in various ways. , in front of the eunuch who passed the decree, he would naturally show full filial piety, not to mention the many spectators on the periphery, so he would not do such an obvious unfilial thing to catch others.
The old lady had a smile on her face, she didn't want to show her old face outside, but she just looked at that smile a bit stiffly, this son is always so hateful, he wants to be cheap, but he is so lucky , Not only was he promoted to a noble, but the county magistrate for nine years actually allowed him to earn such a great honor and come back. It is impossible for the old lady to be unhappy.But... Alas, the more promoted he is, the more he refuses to listen. Forget it, it’s a blessing to be back. The old lady still remembers that when Jia Daishan went to war, she and her mother-in-law were always in fear, for fear that he would return. If you don't come or come back with missing arms, even if you hold it in your heart every time, there is always a trace of expectation and concern. However, this eldest son has been gone for nine years, and she feels angry when she thinks about him, which is very When she seldom expected him to come back, the old lady didn't know when their mother and son became like this, they had the illusion of enmity.
While the old lady was in a trance, Jia She saluted again. Somebody pushed the old lady from behind. She finally regained her composure, slapped her head, and suddenly realized: "Look, I'm so happy and confused," and then gestured to wipe away tears. "Boss, it's good that you come back, mother is worried."
Although he didn't go to the battlefield, Jia Amnesty also faced life-threatening dangers several times, but he never told the old lady. The wife might worry about him, she has always said that she is an unfilial and disrespectful person, it seems that even what she said in the scene is so false, it makes people feel goosebumps for no reason.
Jia Amnesty felt the same now, but he still stepped forward to help the old lady, and said with a very pious look, "I made the old lady worry, it's because my son is unfilial," he said, lifting his robe, as if about to kneel.How could the old lady ask him to salute outside, with eunuchs waiting behind?Hastily stretched out his hand and pulled her up, "Boss, you don't need to be too polite, just come back, and mother will be happy when you come back." The mother and son exchanged polite greetings before letting the eunuch who passed the decree first enter the door.
Seeing their mother's kindness and son's filial piety performance, the eunuch who passed the decree came up to salute the old lady first, but his acquaintance, Eunuch Xue, first put on a smile on his face, and congratulated the old lady: "The old lady is very happy. Congratulations, you are always very lucky!"
"Congratulations, congratulations," the old lady said with a wrinkled smile on her face, but who knows how much bitterness is in her heart?She didn't want Jia She to do anything, and of course she wanted him to win glory for her ancestors and bring glory to herself. However, she looked at the purple robe on Xing Wei's body. , I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, anyway, Guangzong Yaozu just glorified their Dafang family, and he just laughed a few times, and didn't get half of the benefits.
A group of people followed Eunuch Xue into the door, and the incense table had been set up long ago. When everyone stood up, they only heard "kneeling." He cleared his throat, and unfolded the crisp voice of the imperial decree, "Feng Tian delivered the emperor, the imperial edict said, the second-class auxiliary state Duke Jia She is loyal to the emperor and patriotic..." Only then did everyone know that Jia She was promoted to the rank of Duke again. There was a sound of gasping in the crowd, but there was a slight commotion. Eunuch Xue coughed twice to suppress the situation. After everyone calmed down, he read again: "... I am loved by the people, my heart Very consoling, special commendation, a bronze tripod of auspicious beasts,... bestowed upon me, thank you." Eunuch Xue read for a long time, and then stopped until his mouth was dry, it was nothing more than a reward from the superiors to Jia Amnesty Some property and so on, when finally finished reading, Jia She finished thanking, everyone got up, they all shook a few times, some couldn't stand still, it was because they had knelt for too long, and the heavenly officials were watching, they didn't dare to slack off For the sake of jumping spirit.
Anyway, it was a happy event, so Jia Amnesty wanted to keep eunuch Xue to rejoice, and I don't know if it was an old friendship, but eunuch Xue agreed, so Jia's mother and Xing Wei took all the female relatives to plead guilty with him first, and stayed behind. Xia Jia amnesty and a group of men greeted him, and the imperial decree was first offered in the middle hall, and then sent to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, and the things that were given were naturally counted and sealed by the servants.
Here, Jia She and Eunuch Xue had a happy conversation. Eunuch Xue also came here to light up the hot stove when Jia She was in the midst of his fortune. Jia She also asked him to help bring his two sons back to Beijing, so naturally he wanted to keep him. Thank you, one is interested, the other is interested, and the two had an interesting chat. The others, including Jia Jing and Jia Zheng, stayed by the side. Jia Lian and Jia Ying stood behind Jia Amnesty and remained silent.Eunuch Xue liked Jia Ying very much. He exchanged greetings with Jia She for a while, asked Jia Jing, Jia Lian and the others, but intentionally or unintentionally missed Jia Zheng. He also heard about the second master of Rongguo Mansion. Disgusting, since you want to make friends with Jia She, naturally you won't make friends with him without knowing who you are.
After being courteous with everyone, he beckoned Jia Ying to come to his side and asked, "Do you still remember the servant?"
Jia Ying raised her small face and looked at it for a while, and her face gradually became clear from confusion, "Ah, Grandpa Xue, why don't you come to play at home? I still have a lot of things that I want to give to you but I can't find you. " Eunuch Xue saw that it didn't look like an adult taught him, but it came from the heart of the child, and he became more and more happy. After three years of absence, the child still remembered him and even left him a gift. Who would not be happy to hear that?
Jia Ying didn't flinch, and took the initiative to pull his sleeve: "Grandpa Xue, I left you a good thing, do you still remember the rocking wooden horse you bought for me on the boat, me, I asked my little uncle to help change it, and that thing can walk on its own." "Really?" Eunuch Xue was also very happy, and the grandpa and grandson spoke in harmony, as affectionate as grandparents of a family.
"Master," a servant came hurriedly outside, his face covered with sweat, calling out to Jia Amnesty.
Jia She made a confession, called him in and asked, "What's the matter, you yelling, didn't you see that Master is here to receive distinguished guests?"
The servant was in a hurry, sweating profusely, and his footsteps were so weak that he couldn't stand still. It seemed that something serious had happened. When he came in, he knelt down and said, "Master, my slave is bold, bold,... you, sir. Go to the storeroom and have a look, our house has been burglarized." The servant started to cry, "Half of the things left by the ancestors have been lost...".
Jia Amnesty was taken aback when he heard that, even eunuch Xue was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What did you say?"
The servant seemed to realize that eunuch Xue hadn't left yet, and cast a hesitant glance at Jia She, who said urgently, "What are you looking for, tell me quickly, are there any outsiders?"
Mrs. Xue felt relieved when she listened to it, and the servant hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Our warehouse has been stolen, and a lot of things that were sealed up and rewarded by the Holy Lord to the old ladies have been lost."
Jia She then said in a hurry, "How is that possible? It is a treasure that was rewarded by the sage. I never dared to touch it. I ordered people to pack it up and seal it up. I am afraid that if something goes wrong, I will not be guilty of it. How could it be stolen? The guard What about the people in the warehouse, what do they eat?"
Eunuch Xue was in a hurry, got up and said: "Your Excellency, why are you still asking questions here, why don't you go over and have a look?" He came out of the palace, and he was more sensitive to imperial gifts than others. Feeling that Jia Amnesty classified him as one of his own, and with Jia Ying as a small friendship, he always cared more than others.
Jia Amnesty reacted as if he had just realized it, and hurriedly raised his trousers to follow Eunuch Xue, and hurriedly called out, "Come on, come and close the gate, and don't leave even one of you." He bluffed as if he was going to catch the culprit now. This slow look really made people wonder how he managed the place for nine years, and he was rewarded and even promoted to a title.
Eunuch Xue didn't care to think too much, because Jia She's order was delayed for a while, he rushed to the warehouse one step faster than Jia She, because there was a servant leading the way, but it didn't delay the trip, entering the wide-open warehouse, he casually flipped through After opening a few boxes and looking at a few places, he couldn't help but gasped. If he remembered correctly, all the items on it were gifts from the imperial court. The names of the objects were all sealed together in the box, but now it is fine, only the bare base and the list are left, and the things are gone.
Xing Wei also followed Jia She, and won the honorary title of the second-class Duke's wife, which is also a super-quality treatment. Only then did Xing Wei know why the clothes on her body were different. First of all, the color was dark purple, which was the prince. They can only be worn by those of higher ranks, but they were wearing light purple marquis robes earlier, and the patches on their boa robes are also different. They used to be birds, but now they are beasts. Jia She's title is not of the same rank. up.
Xing Wei didn't have a big idea about other things, only heard that "...you don't need to pay homage if you are not a king, but you don't need to pay homage,..." I was happy in my heart, and life in this world can be described as a life The "sesame blossoms are rising steadily," the only unbeautiful thing is that when you meet someone with a higher rank than your own, you have to bow down and bow down, and you have to enter the palace to kowtow to the "nobles" during festivals. Now it's good, with this A "gold medal for avoiding death", although her knees have not been completely liberated, and it is inevitable that people will bow their heads in the future, but this is already the best result. At any time, even in the previous life, no matter how good she is, it is inevitable. There will be times when it depends on people's faces, and it is already very satisfying to have the current result.
Xing Wei took a rest before changing her clothes. After receiving the decree in Taiying Hall, she went to Kunning Palace to receive the empress's award and the golden disc treasure book. This is the official super-grade second-class assistant. The Duke's wife is only one rank lower than the first-class Hu (Founder) Duke.Unless it is a formal occasion, there are only a handful of people who can get Xing Wei to kneel.
Jia Amnesty stayed in Taiying Hall to report to His Majesty. She came back first after leaving Kunning Palace. Of course, the carriage she was riding in was equipped for her level. Although it was not as comfortable as her own special four-wheeled carriage, it was not as comfortable as hers. The lengthened and enlarged carriage is much smaller, the key is that the things laid out on it are all high-quality goods.
There was a well-equipped carriage to sit in, and naturally there was a guard of honor to accompany her. It was a beautiful journey for her, with beauties leading the way, handsome men holding flags and escorting her. The journey was full of gongs and drums, and she walked around the inner city before returning to Rongguo Mansion.
The gate of Rongguo Mansion was opened long ago to welcome her, the hostess. Xing Wei got out of the carriage, and the distinguished Mrs. Shi's family had already led all the families to wait outside. She is still one level lower than Jiamu's first-class protector, but since she lost her husband, her title will naturally drop. In serious comparison, her freshly-baked second-class lady is not much worse than her.
Now she can only rely on her status as a mother-in-law to show off her power on herself. Thinking of this, Xing Wei let out a sigh of relief, not in vain to subsidize the money to the people. Not only did he not get any money, but he got a lot of it instead. There was even a joke in the capital that Jia She was a "silly fool", but was his nine-year county lord really for nothing?Could this title be bought with millions of taels of silver?
It is said that "there is a god standing three feet above the head", according to her, there is no need to wait for the god to open his eyes. As long as you are willing to do it with your heart, the people will not see it, and those in power will not fail to praise it. Promotion and appointment are only a matter of time That's all.
Xing Wei saluted the old lady first when she got out of the car. At any time, if someone is sorry for herself, she can't slap her in the face on the surface. Otherwise, what is reasonable becomes unreasonable.
The old lady dodged a little, but in the end she did. Xing Wei was wearing a court dress, and now she dared not accept it calmly.Xing Wei was not pretentious either, she helped the old lady all the way back, sat with the old lady for a while, said a few words, told him that Jia Amnesty was kept by the Holy Majesty to talk, and he didn't know when he would come back, so he left and went back to himself yard.
Although they have been away from home for nine years, the two sons have tidied up the courtyard room first, and left someone to clean it earlier. There are no traces of weeds growing indiscriminately in this room, on the ground, on the ground, and on the walls. Cheng Yin, a scene full of vitality.
Looking at the furnishings in the house, it gathered the original favorites of Rong Guogong and Xi County's homeland. They are all things I like, and I don't feel unfamiliar at all, especially the two children lying side by side on the bed in the bedroom. They are my own. Heart-to-heart babies, with them, I have the whole world, and my heart is slowly filled with contentment and happiness.
As soon as he changed his clothes, Jia Lian came over and said that he had made all the preparations for the imperial decree. Xing Wei nodded, let him talk aside, and asked him how he was doing in the past few years. Saying it again, Xing Wei was still very happy for him.
Being selected as a scholar at a young age, this can be regarded as a young genius.Although it is not difficult to test a scholar in this era, according to the proportion of the population, it is really not an easy task. Don’t you see that the white-haired old man calls himself a boy because he only passed the boy’s test and is stuck in the level of a scholar. Every time he took the exam for a scholar, he still shaved his beard to take the exam. If he failed the exam, he would still be a "boy" until his death.
Jia Lian blushed. He had heard a lot of boasting, but he still felt embarrassed when his stepmother praised her in person.
"This is what a son should do, and it is best taught by his parents." Although it was a polite remark, it was also from Jia Lian's heart.
"It's all taught by your grandpa. When we come back this time, your father and I should thank your grandfather properly. If it weren't for him, you would know that your father is doing well. Let him urge you to study. I might not be able to take the exam for this scholar in my life." Xing Wei laughed, Jia She is just a job, after making arrangements, he can get a good result if he plunges into it, let him study and think, but he wants him old life.
Jia Lian also knew that not to mention his father, even his second uncle, who was praised as a good "reader" since he was a child, did not pass the exam as a scholar, and now he has delayed Jia Zhu. Let alone his father, he never liked reading since he was a child.
"Second Aunt wanted to occupy Brother Zhu's yard for a big wedding, but Brother Ying got in the way. She was not feeling well at the moment, and mother knew better when she looked back." The family members were also good, and they often communicated. There is nothing much to say, and besides, there is no rush to say anything at this moment, but the second room is unpredictable, so it is better to send a letter to the adults in advance to make them prepare.
Xing Wei nodded, expressing that she understood. After thinking for a while, she told Jia Lian, "If your father and I want to separate the second room completely this time, there may be some gossip, and I'm afraid it will offend many people. You You have to be mentally prepared." Xing Wei knew about Wang's moving half of the warehouse, and she knew from the time she left that Han's too weak, sooner or later she would not be able to withstand the schemes of Jia Mu and Wang, and she could replace Rong The government has taken care of the family affairs for six years, and the old lady has been suppressed and docile, unable to communicate with the outside world, which already shows that she is full of means.
"What does mother plan to do?" Jia Lian also knew that it was not appropriate for the second room to live with the big room. It was not because they were afraid that they would waste money on food and lodging. It was just that this family was not worried, and they were ambitious and wanted to do something big. Without foresight, only looking at the immediate interests, the whole family was brought to the guillotine that day, and they didn't know the reason.
My family is safe and sound for the king and the people, so I can't be killed by these careless relatives.
"Your second aunt emptied half of our storeroom, you know that?" I really thought that there were countless things left by me, and they were all gifts from my ancestors for generations. It's disrespect to the royal family, but the countless Wangs have even hollowed out half of them. Her life is in danger this time, and the old lady can't save her life.
"It's all from the emperor?" Jia Lian was also taken aback, not only by Wang's boldness, but also by his stepmother Xing's "game". It was a desperate game. "does it worth?"
"Great meritorious service, buy people's hearts," Xing Wei sighed, "Our family started with military exploits, and we don't have a deep background. We still had military power in our hands earlier, but your father handed it over to us, so we can reassure the higher-ups. point, otherwise, how could you let your father go out to be a magistrate?" Xing Wei would not think that Mr. Zhang would hide Jia Lian's family history, and what Jia Amnesty has done in these years. With Mr. Zhang's precepts and deeds, I am afraid that Jia Lian will know He has more things than Jia She, but because he knows more and thinks too much, he can't let go of some things and handles them with dread.Furthermore, civil servants and honored nobles had fundamentally different origins, and naturally the methods of life-saving cannot all be the same.
Civil servants live for fame, and generals who have no real power will sooner or later be meat on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others.
However, if the military general has too much power and reputation, he needs timely self-pollution to save his life. Therefore, there are many prodigal sons in the noble family. Is it because their family really doesn't care about their sons?No, it's just one of the parents' balancing measures, in order to save the family's life.
"I got two more Wanmin umbrellas in nine years. If your father hadn't stopped me earlier, I would have had all three." When the second term of office was about to expire, Jia Amnesty heard the rumor that the people of the three counties had returned. To make the Wanmin Umbrella, he hurriedly sent someone to stop it. This last time, he really couldn't stop it, so he received this huge Wanmin Umbrella again.It's merit, and it's also the source of suspicion from above, "A meritorious military general, representatives of your foreign family's civil servants, and the people of these five counties, you said, if our family doesn't come up with something to be caught by the sage, can he sleep at ease?"
It's not at ease. Jia Lian has long heard from her grandfather that she is a knowledgeable stepmother, and let herself get in touch with her more. In Xi County for several years, she has almost retired to the second line and rarely participates in her father's affairs. Besides, those things are in the hands of men It's not a big deal in my eyes, what's rare is this kind of "big right and wrong", how can ordinary women see it so clearly? "Self-defilement? But?..."
"But your father is reluctant to let you make mistakes and let others catch him. He doesn't have many brains to make big mistakes, so he can only use your second uncle to do the surgery." Xing Wei looked at Jia Lian with a smile. Self-pollution, he is a separated brother, but he will be said a few words of ungratefulness and ungratefulness, but Jia Zheng Wang is connected with the old lady, no one can bear this "unfilial" label, but what a shame Then again, this "family heirloom" stolen from his family's ancestors, even if the old lady Jia Mushi wanted to stop Jia Amnesty from pursuing Jia Zheng Wang's crimes, she would not be able to stop Jia Zheng Wang's crimes. Mrs. Wang sweeps them out with a broom, is it necessary to keep them to live with the old lady for a hundred years?Not disgusting enough to think about?
Jia Lian also understood the meaning of it. He also "sees how the old lady treats the second uncle from a young age."
But she repeatedly persecuted her father, and even ignored the death of her own mother and brother. If Jia Lian could not be sure, she couldn't help asking whether her father was born by the old lady?
Although Xing Wei's "teaching" is not quite the same as the theory taught by Mr. Zhang to Jia Lian, who emphasized loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, but Xing Wei's theory clearly only cares about himself and cares about others.
Families, clans, and clans live together in order to have someone to help them in times of trouble. She is good, and if she extends her meaning, she wishes she could guard the Rongguo Mansion and enjoy the glory alone.
No, Jia Lian naturally knew that his parents were not the kind of people who only cared about themselves. The Jia clan in Ningguo Mansion, Beijing and Jinling all helped, but they were just very mean and unkind to this second uncle's family.
Mother, eldest brother, Jia Lian lowered his head and closed his eyes. How could he forgive them for his mother's hatred, his brother's hatred, and his father's humiliation?What's more, both parents are involved.
Xing Wei paused, thinking of the girl Yu mentioned in Jia Ying's letter, and added: "If there is a trouble, I'm afraid my marriage with you will also be hindered in the future."
Jia Lian was also taken aback, although he was moved, but he was still young, he hadn't thought about this level, also, if there is an "unfilial" father in a family, no one in other families would feel at ease marrying their daughter to this family son?Jia Lian smiled wryly in his heart, all three of his mother and son would be burdened by the second wife, and both of them lost their lives, so he would delay their marriage because of him?
But it's impossible to let the second wife go, not to mention revenge for the mother, but what they have done in the past three years has long been unable to let the Rongguo Mansion enjoy peace. "As soon as possible, not too late, my son is still young, so there is no need to worry about it." If you can avenge your mother, what's the point of not marrying for the rest of your life?
The mother and the son were talking, and then the atmosphere was a bit heavy. After a moment of silence, they talked about other things, but they deliberately missed the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion, and only talked about the members of the Zhang family, Xing Wei and Jia Lian. After that, I will visit the Zhang family, and then the Xing family and so on.
Jia Ying, who was sleeping inside, woke up first. When she heard the movement outside, she got up first. When she saw her mother sitting upright, she threw herself into Xing Wei's arms and said coquettishly, "Mother?" One word contains too many thoughts and feelings, The mother and son looked at each other, and tears filled their eyes instantly.
Xing Wei let out a "huh", hugged her son in her arms, and patted his back silently, rubbing her head against his son's body, feeling his body temperature. After three years of separation, it would be a lie to say that she doesn't miss her, but her son Aspiring to study, how can she stop it?
Looking at the warm scene of mother and child in front of him, Jia Lian didn't feel envious, but he still got up and said goodbye to Xing Wei, "I'll go and see if there is anything missing." , Hateful, Jia Lian also felt a surge of energy in his heart when he thought that the big revenge was about to be avenged.
Xing Wei agreed and watched Jia Lian go out.There were only mother and son left, but Jia Ying became shy. She said she had grown up before, but now she is lying in her mother's arms and acting like a baby, but she let her second brother see it. Later, he laughed at himself for being a child who didn't grow up. child.
Hurriedly breaking away from Xing Wei, she stood honestly aside and saluted Xing Wei: "Son Jia Ying, I have met my mother, send my mother hello."
Xing Wei had no choice but to sit upright, and said "um". Is it good in this era? The good thing is that people are more polite and polite than people in the previous world. It also pays attention to avoiding taboos, artificially alienating the relationship between mother and child.
"You have been well-behaved in the past three years. You have caused troubles and angered your grandpa Zhang, right?" Jia Ying left them with the excuse of studying, but returned to the capital to study with the old man but couldn't sit still, and Xing Wei didn't want to restrain him. Jia Lian didn't force her, she persuaded the old man behind her back, and the old man knew what Xing Wei meant, so he just turned a blind eye, or else he had so much time to go to beauties.
"It's okay, it's okay." Jia Ying asked, her eyes wandering and she didn't dare to look at Xing Wei, but she didn't have much confidence in her answer.But he didn't know that his mother had already had a heart-to-heart relationship with his second brother, and she didn't intend to restrain him from studying, but thought that what he said earlier was to blame him for not listening to Zhang's grandfather, which made the old man angry.
"Ah," Xing Wei sighed. She didn't intend to hold Jia Ying at all, but she was a little troubled by his "unbelief". They all said that filial sons are born under the stick, but if a child has self-control since childhood, he can Keeping promises and demanding yourself, isn't that more promising than parents beating?But seeing him so restrained, I felt very sad in my heart, and waved, "Come and sit next to mother, let mother give you a good hug, after a few years, mother will make it up." After all, children are still children, if everyone If you can be self-taught, what do you need to teach your parents?
Jia Ying hesitated for a moment, but came over and sat down, Yiyan sat down next to Xing Wei, Xing Wei stretched out her arms, and the mother and child leaned together, Xing Wei whispered in his ear: "Mother doesn't expect you either. Studying is as good as your second brother. What kind of examinations are for scholars, candidates, and Jinshi? I just hope that you can study well. You can’t learn from your second uncle. Don’t think about those things you shouldn’t get, but you can’t be unreasonable and be tricked by others but don’t know how to fight back.” It’s true to teach your son not to be greedy for titles, but you can’t just obey and be squeezed by others, Xing Wei herself It's not that I can't adapt to the laws of this world, but my son was born and raised, but some systems have to be adapted from an early age.
Jia Ying is three years older. Three years later, he is not as innocent as he was three years ago. At least he can understand the subtext in his mother's words. Father's title is the second brother. We don't want to, but don't be too stupid. Be able to protect yourself and be bullied.
"Well." The second brother, Jia Lian, has always been kind to him, including the whole Zhang family, but the little uncle has always reminded him that he must not have the heart of harming others, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. Is there a gap between them? On the first level, not to mention that there is nothing to be suspicious of, but one must also be careful of slander behind the scenes. It may be safe to have no disputes and no benefits, but if there is a dispute, you may turn your face and deny anyone.Furthermore, there may be no scruples between brothers, but after they become a family in the future, there may be rifts after having a wife and children, and gradually they will be alienated from this relationship.
Xing Wei's rebellion came from her previous life experience, but she didn't know that her son was taught to be "different" by Xing Zhongye. She thought that her son was still young and would not be separated in the future. She had time to subtly influence her, so she stopped preaching , just enjoy the warmth at this time with peace of mind.
After a long time, Jia Amnesty finally returned to the mansion, sent someone back to inform her in advance, woke up her daughter and washed herself up, and Xing Wei dressed herself up again, just in time Jia Ying went to find Jia Lian, four mother and son, together with Jia Mu and the others Go to the door to greet you.
If Jia Amnesty came back alone, there would be no need for such a big battle, just like when Xing Wei came back earlier, he was wearing court clothes and a guard of honor, which represented not himself, but the glory of his identity given by the higher-ups .So even though Jia's mother, as a mother, has an imperial order, she has to come out to welcome her son and daughter-in-law back home.
The old ladies came out to greet them in person. No matter how unwilling Jia Zheng and Wang were, they had to dress neatly to accompany them. There were also Han who had been out of the yard easily earlier, and Jia Jing and his wife from Ningguo Mansion with their children.
This is the glory of the family. Although it is tiring, ordinary people regret not having this opportunity and destiny.
Xing Wei didn't talk much to Jia Jing and his wife earlier, then they greeted her and went back to Ningguo Mansion. Now, while waiting for Jia's amnesty, she will talk to old Fu Shi, naturally first Thanking her for taking care of Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Fu glanced at Mother Jia out of the corner of her eye, and said, "I have a responsibility."
Xing Wei patted her hand, and also knew that her nephew and daughter-in-law, who were separated from the mansion, were really not easy to get ahead. Although they also carried the title of the former patriarch's wife, they were neither herself nor Jia She, so they were ashamed to expose their family ugliness. The forced old lady didn't dare to confront her head-on.
Mrs. Fu glanced at Mrs. Han behind her, and whispered to Xing Wei, "Your younger brother and sister can stand up." Although she helped Mrs. Han before, if Mrs. Han couldn't stand up by herself, how could she bear the burden of the Rongguo Mansion? The burden of the year forced the old lady to release Wang to take the lead?
The key point is that the Han family has a lot of eyes, and it's not like an old lady like Xing Wei who can "see" desperately can't move a single step.
Xing Wei nodded, but the Han family is a real person who doesn't look like a real person. She looks like she has no ambitions, but she can control people. She obeys her will and acts according to her wishes. It is a cooperative relationship, and people are quite understanding, and they are not greedy to occupy the title of the Rongguo Mansion, otherwise, if she is like the Wang family, I am afraid that there will be no dregs left by her.
Lao Fu and Xing Wei worked together a few times, and the two had a tacit understanding. After saying these few words that others could hardly understand, they talked about the girls' school again. In recent years, Jia's girls' school can be regarded as The fame has spread far and wide, attracting some girls from relatives' families to come to the attached school. Now that the old Mrs. Fu has given birth to a daughter who has reached the age of reading and writing, he pays more attention to the teachers and teaching atmosphere of the girls' school. I missed my daughter's future.
The two chatted happily, and quickly made an appointment for the itinerary. After the ancestor worship was over, they would go to the girls' school first.
After waiting for a while, I saw Jia She came over, and there was a group of people far away. Unlike Xing Wei, Jia She was riding on a horse, waving his hands all the way, and his vigor made people more envious and jealous Hate, old Fu pursed his lips and smiled at Xing Wei: "Master Hou is more and more enviable in this outfit, you are really lucky." While talking, when Jia Amnesty approached, old Fu suddenly opened his eyes wide, Looking at the patch pattern on Jia She's clothes, he asked hesitantly, "This is, is this a promotion?"
It turns out that Xing Wei did not disclose the news of Jia She's promotion to the noble. Of course, she told Jia Lian that this child knew something in her heart, but she didn't make it public. The color and patch of her clothes are sudden, which is why old Fu made the discovery just now.
Xing Wei smiled and nodded to confirm his guess. Old Fu clasped his palms together and said, "Amitabha." Jen is useless?Now Mrs. Fu is very grateful to Jia She and his wife, and she can't wait to set up a longevity tablet for them. She knows what her own son is like, but she is so spoiled by her. She didn't expect that Uncle She would become a man after following him. After becoming a person, not only can manage the shop, but now he has become an official family member.
The old lady just stood still and didn't move, but Xing Wei didn't care. She called the two sons and took the youngest daughter to Jia She, and personally helped him lead the horse and waited for him to land. He patted Jia Ying's head twice, hugged Jia Ying's head and rubbed it twice, and hugged his daughter in his arms before smiling at Xing Wei. Sure enough, Xing Wei knew him best. Of course, he most wanted to be with his wife and sons!
Jia She led Xing Wei and the children to stand in front of the old lady. Xing Wei took the daughter and held her in her arms. Jia She then cupped his fists and saluted the old lady. I'm worrying you." As a local, Jia She, although he has a heart for Jia's mother, he can talk more than Xing Wei in the scene, especially now that he has experienced a lot, and he can "bear" and "pretend" in various ways. , in front of the eunuch who passed the decree, he would naturally show full filial piety, not to mention the many spectators on the periphery, so he would not do such an obvious unfilial thing to catch others.
The old lady had a smile on her face, she didn't want to show her old face outside, but she just looked at that smile a bit stiffly, this son is always so hateful, he wants to be cheap, but he is so lucky , Not only was he promoted to a noble, but the county magistrate for nine years actually allowed him to earn such a great honor and come back. It is impossible for the old lady to be unhappy.But... Alas, the more promoted he is, the more he refuses to listen. Forget it, it’s a blessing to be back. The old lady still remembers that when Jia Daishan went to war, she and her mother-in-law were always in fear, for fear that he would return. If you don't come or come back with missing arms, even if you hold it in your heart every time, there is always a trace of expectation and concern. However, this eldest son has been gone for nine years, and she feels angry when she thinks about him, which is very When she seldom expected him to come back, the old lady didn't know when their mother and son became like this, they had the illusion of enmity.
While the old lady was in a trance, Jia She saluted again. Somebody pushed the old lady from behind. She finally regained her composure, slapped her head, and suddenly realized: "Look, I'm so happy and confused," and then gestured to wipe away tears. "Boss, it's good that you come back, mother is worried."
Although he didn't go to the battlefield, Jia Amnesty also faced life-threatening dangers several times, but he never told the old lady. The wife might worry about him, she has always said that she is an unfilial and disrespectful person, it seems that even what she said in the scene is so false, it makes people feel goosebumps for no reason.
Jia Amnesty felt the same now, but he still stepped forward to help the old lady, and said with a very pious look, "I made the old lady worry, it's because my son is unfilial," he said, lifting his robe, as if about to kneel.How could the old lady ask him to salute outside, with eunuchs waiting behind?Hastily stretched out his hand and pulled her up, "Boss, you don't need to be too polite, just come back, and mother will be happy when you come back." The mother and son exchanged polite greetings before letting the eunuch who passed the decree first enter the door.
Seeing their mother's kindness and son's filial piety performance, the eunuch who passed the decree came up to salute the old lady first, but his acquaintance, Eunuch Xue, first put on a smile on his face, and congratulated the old lady: "The old lady is very happy. Congratulations, you are always very lucky!"
"Congratulations, congratulations," the old lady said with a wrinkled smile on her face, but who knows how much bitterness is in her heart?She didn't want Jia She to do anything, and of course she wanted him to win glory for her ancestors and bring glory to herself. However, she looked at the purple robe on Xing Wei's body. , I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, anyway, Guangzong Yaozu just glorified their Dafang family, and he just laughed a few times, and didn't get half of the benefits.
A group of people followed Eunuch Xue into the door, and the incense table had been set up long ago. When everyone stood up, they only heard "kneeling." He cleared his throat, and unfolded the crisp voice of the imperial decree, "Feng Tian delivered the emperor, the imperial edict said, the second-class auxiliary state Duke Jia She is loyal to the emperor and patriotic..." Only then did everyone know that Jia She was promoted to the rank of Duke again. There was a sound of gasping in the crowd, but there was a slight commotion. Eunuch Xue coughed twice to suppress the situation. After everyone calmed down, he read again: "... I am loved by the people, my heart Very consoling, special commendation, a bronze tripod of auspicious beasts,... bestowed upon me, thank you." Eunuch Xue read for a long time, and then stopped until his mouth was dry, it was nothing more than a reward from the superiors to Jia Amnesty Some property and so on, when finally finished reading, Jia She finished thanking, everyone got up, they all shook a few times, some couldn't stand still, it was because they had knelt for too long, and the heavenly officials were watching, they didn't dare to slack off For the sake of jumping spirit.
Anyway, it was a happy event, so Jia Amnesty wanted to keep eunuch Xue to rejoice, and I don't know if it was an old friendship, but eunuch Xue agreed, so Jia's mother and Xing Wei took all the female relatives to plead guilty with him first, and stayed behind. Xia Jia amnesty and a group of men greeted him, and the imperial decree was first offered in the middle hall, and then sent to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, and the things that were given were naturally counted and sealed by the servants.
Here, Jia She and Eunuch Xue had a happy conversation. Eunuch Xue also came here to light up the hot stove when Jia She was in the midst of his fortune. Jia She also asked him to help bring his two sons back to Beijing, so naturally he wanted to keep him. Thank you, one is interested, the other is interested, and the two had an interesting chat. The others, including Jia Jing and Jia Zheng, stayed by the side. Jia Lian and Jia Ying stood behind Jia Amnesty and remained silent.Eunuch Xue liked Jia Ying very much. He exchanged greetings with Jia She for a while, asked Jia Jing, Jia Lian and the others, but intentionally or unintentionally missed Jia Zheng. He also heard about the second master of Rongguo Mansion. Disgusting, since you want to make friends with Jia She, naturally you won't make friends with him without knowing who you are.
After being courteous with everyone, he beckoned Jia Ying to come to his side and asked, "Do you still remember the servant?"
Jia Ying raised her small face and looked at it for a while, and her face gradually became clear from confusion, "Ah, Grandpa Xue, why don't you come to play at home? I still have a lot of things that I want to give to you but I can't find you. " Eunuch Xue saw that it didn't look like an adult taught him, but it came from the heart of the child, and he became more and more happy. After three years of absence, the child still remembered him and even left him a gift. Who would not be happy to hear that?
Jia Ying didn't flinch, and took the initiative to pull his sleeve: "Grandpa Xue, I left you a good thing, do you still remember the rocking wooden horse you bought for me on the boat, me, I asked my little uncle to help change it, and that thing can walk on its own." "Really?" Eunuch Xue was also very happy, and the grandpa and grandson spoke in harmony, as affectionate as grandparents of a family.
"Master," a servant came hurriedly outside, his face covered with sweat, calling out to Jia Amnesty.
Jia She made a confession, called him in and asked, "What's the matter, you yelling, didn't you see that Master is here to receive distinguished guests?"
The servant was in a hurry, sweating profusely, and his footsteps were so weak that he couldn't stand still. It seemed that something serious had happened. When he came in, he knelt down and said, "Master, my slave is bold, bold,... you, sir. Go to the storeroom and have a look, our house has been burglarized." The servant started to cry, "Half of the things left by the ancestors have been lost...".
Jia Amnesty was taken aback when he heard that, even eunuch Xue was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What did you say?"
The servant seemed to realize that eunuch Xue hadn't left yet, and cast a hesitant glance at Jia She, who said urgently, "What are you looking for, tell me quickly, are there any outsiders?"
Mrs. Xue felt relieved when she listened to it, and the servant hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Our warehouse has been stolen, and a lot of things that were sealed up and rewarded by the Holy Lord to the old ladies have been lost."
Jia She then said in a hurry, "How is that possible? It is a treasure that was rewarded by the sage. I never dared to touch it. I ordered people to pack it up and seal it up. I am afraid that if something goes wrong, I will not be guilty of it. How could it be stolen? The guard What about the people in the warehouse, what do they eat?"
Eunuch Xue was in a hurry, got up and said: "Your Excellency, why are you still asking questions here, why don't you go over and have a look?" He came out of the palace, and he was more sensitive to imperial gifts than others. Feeling that Jia Amnesty classified him as one of his own, and with Jia Ying as a small friendship, he always cared more than others.
Jia Amnesty reacted as if he had just realized it, and hurriedly raised his trousers to follow Eunuch Xue, and hurriedly called out, "Come on, come and close the gate, and don't leave even one of you." He bluffed as if he was going to catch the culprit now. This slow look really made people wonder how he managed the place for nine years, and he was rewarded and even promoted to a title.
Eunuch Xue didn't care to think too much, because Jia She's order was delayed for a while, he rushed to the warehouse one step faster than Jia She, because there was a servant leading the way, but it didn't delay the trip, entering the wide-open warehouse, he casually flipped through After opening a few boxes and looking at a few places, he couldn't help but gasped. If he remembered correctly, all the items on it were gifts from the imperial court. The names of the objects were all sealed together in the box, but now it is fine, only the bare base and the list are left, and the things are gone.
