Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Chapter 185 Lin Hai 48

Jia Amnesty and the Shijia brothers showed off their Marquis of Rongguo, and went to ask for leave from the Minister of War.All honorable men in the Ministry of War hated Jia Amnesty for paying back the money he owed.But Jia Amnesty said that he would go back to the mansion to deliver the imperial decree to the ancestors, so Hu Shangshu had no choice but to agree.

"Enhou, you should raise your hand high and let him go about the matter of the prince of the country. His big family usually lives very tight."

"Well, I just told my cousin Shijia that after repaying the 80 yuan, I don't need to lock the warehouse. I will have to live on tight clothes and food for the next ten or twenty years. The man in the Duke's mansion spends his days drinking and drinking. I have already enjoyed all the money, how can I pay it back now. But it is reasonable for him to pay it back, why did he come up and attack me? Hmph." Jia She grinned, expressing that he was in great pain.

Jia Amnesty couldn't help saying to the prince of the state that he did something to him, not only was he very annoyed, but the pain on his body also reminded him.And those few who took advantage of the fight to attack him, don't think he didn't remember.

"Oh," Hu Shangshu didn't know what to say, and his family owed more than 20 yuan. "Enhou, everyone is in the Ministry of War. I will set up a drink some other day and ask him to apologize to you. How about it?"

how?How else.Jia Amnesty held his breath, cursed secretly in his heart, and had no choice but to agree.

"This imperial decree..." Hu Shangshu was very concerned. Jia Amnesty went to the Ministry of Households to pay back the money. This imperial decree was not a debt owed to the Ministry of War.

"The sage bestowed upon me Rong Guohou." Jia She laughed so hard that people beat him up.

Hu Shangshu is really envious and jealous. Your Rongguo Mansion is really capable. You can get a marquis after borrowing money from the court and paying it back!Think about it wrong, Jia Daishan passed away, Jia Amnesty should inherit the Marquis.

"Hey, congratulations to Enhou, this is really Enhou. When the wine is set, the old man will also ask for a glass of wine."

"Hey, Mr. Hu, this wine is free, and I can't afford it. I just said that the warehouse at home doesn't need to be locked."

Master Hu nodded.The ancestors all started the family together with □□, and the family assets were somewhat different, but it didn't take long for Jia She to repay 80 after the family split, which probably emptied the family assets.

"Enhou, will your livelihood be hindered in the future?"

"Let's deal with it sparingly."

Jia Amnesty knew that people hated him for repaying the money, so he had already prepared to live a few years of tight life pretending.On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, basically no money was spent on preparations.Let Lin Zhixiao find out all the lanterns in the library, and just hang some here and there.As for throwing wine to congratulate myself for winning the Marquis, I don't even want to.He received the imperial decree from the Marquis, and along with the offering of the Lantern Festival, he placed three pillars of high incense on his father and ancestors on the offering of his ancestral hall that had just been erected, which was considered to have completed his own celebration alone.

Jia Zheng still knew from others that Jia Amnesty had won the title of Marquis of Rongguo.Although his heart is sour, he was born later than Jia She. Since he was a child, his grandparents always saw him, and his father saw him first. Without his mother's love, he felt that he was inferior to the concubine.

"Brother, you finally won the Marquis, when will you celebrate with wine?"

"Is there any money there to put wine on, it's all returned to the court."

"That's not right, brother, that sum of money was set aside before the separation."

"Second brother, why are you so stupid? Huh? When will you be able to gain some insight, huh?" Jia Amnesty became angry when he saw Jia Zheng talking stupidly. How could his father, a generation of powerful officials, How about such a silly son?

"Second brother, think about it, most of the money you owe is honorable, and few can pay it off at once. Your elder brother and I pay back the money like this, which is something that people hate, so I have to pay back the money for the first one." Congratulations on the Marquis, are you recruiting nobles to come to Rongguo Mansion to smash them?!"

Jia Zheng was stunned by Jia Amnesty. "Why did you come to Rongguo Mansion to smash it?" Rongguo Mansion has hosted banquets of various names for decades, and no one has ever smashed a banquet at Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Amnesty had no choice but to tell him off patiently, "Your elder brother and I have no friendship with Qingliu, and the military department is made up of some rough soldiers who can play crazy with alcohol. They are worried about not being able to get money. It is not easy to have a few good plates left in the Rongguo Mansion."

Where would Jia Zheng believe Jia Amnesty's words, "They are all officials of the imperial court, and they are all friendly four kings and eight princes. Our Rongguo Mansion has not had such a thing to celebrate for many years..."

Jia Zheng wanted to continue persuading Jia She, but Jia She felt heartbroken when he saw that he didn't know how to change things, so he cut Jia Zheng off, "Second brother, if you break something, you'll take care of it, brother, I'll post it tomorrow. Banquet guests. Do you want to do it?"

"This?" Jia Zheng thought to himself, why should I take care of it?

"You don't want to pack, just forget about the banquet. You go to see the old lady, go back early, the snowy road is not slippery, don't be so cold."

Jia Amnesty didn't want to listen to Jia Zheng's nagging, so he called the boy in and sent Jia Zheng to Lixiangyuan.

Not long after Jia Amnesty drove Jia Zheng away, the servant came in and spread word that Mr. Cheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, had come to visit.Jia Amnesty immediately jumped up, "Hurry up and welcome in." He didn't care about putting on thick clothes, and hurried out to meet Cheng Yin.

This was Cheng Yin's first time stepping into Rongguo Mansion since he met Jia She.Although the entire mansion is covered with thick snow, the magnificent Rongxi Hall still silently shows the meritorious deeds of Jia's ancestors.Cheng Yin was respectfully welcomed by the concierge of Jia's mansion into the lobby where the guests were entertained. After drinking a few sips of hot tea, he heard hurried footsteps outside the door.The boy who delivered the letter ran back.

"Master Cheng, my master is here to invite you."

As soon as the servant finished speaking, Jia She came in after him. "Fansen, you are a rare visitor." He took Cheng Yin to Rongxi Hall's study.

Warming his hands with hot tea, Cheng Yin said to Jia She, "I'm here to congratulate Lord Hou."

Jia Amnesty stood up and cupped his hands to Cheng Yin, "Without Fansen, this title would not be so easy."

"It's yours, it's yours. But what I'm talking about here is another matter." Seeing that Jia Amnesty was aroused, Cheng Yin put down the tea cup and stood up, saying slowly: "The sage wants to use The Zhang family is gone, and I sent me to tell you to let the Zhang family return to Beijing. The sage said, "The Zhang family can still teach people to read, that means there are still capable people. If the Zhang family has something available, it can also solve the urgent need that no one can use. .'"

Jia Amnesty followed Cheng Yin and stood up. After Cheng Yin finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to cover his eyes. It took him a long time to sit down numbly and put his hands down.His eyes were red, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "Fansen, please send a message to Jinshang, and I will send someone to pick up the Zhang family brothers."

"Enhou, this year's Enke has been postponed, you know that?"

Jia She immediately shook his head and said, "I don't know. I'm not interested in these things."

Cheng Yin did not argue with Jia She whether Lin Hai had told him, "If there is a case in the sea, it is cold this year, so I suggest postponing the imperial examination today. It will probably be in early March."

"You mean to let the Zhang family take the imperial examination?"

Cheng Yin stood up and smiled, "Let's go, go home and have dinner."

Jia Amnesty hurriedly stopped him, "Let's go after eating." He left Chengyin to eat a sumptuous dinner, then took two glass revolving lanterns from Lin's mansion and stuffed them in the car, saying they were for children to play with, and personally sent them out of Rongguo mansion. the gate.

Turn around and ask Lin Zhixiao to explain to the concierge that Cheng Shilang must go to Rongxi hall immediately whenever he comes.

Jia Zheng was driven to Lixiangyuan by Jia Amnesty. He was very annoyed and very angry, but he couldn't do anything about Jia Amnesty, so he complained to Jia's mother.

"Mother, you said that elder brother is becoming more and more impolite. During the Chinese New Year, he will not invite anyone as a guest, and cut off all old relationships. After the year, he was promoted to the fourth rank of the Ministry of War. Langzhong, my son suggested that he treat him to celebrate, he pulled my uncle out to shame him, saying why don't you look at Wang Ziteng's age, he is a second-rank official. This time he won the Marquis of Rongguo, and he actually said that the treat will lead to honors Gui took advantage of drinking to play crazy, and said that Xungui was a gang of ruffians. Mother, you..."

Jia Zheng's hand hurts from being pinched by Jia's mother.

"Second brother, the boss won the fourth-rank doctor of the Ministry of War after the year? Why didn't you tell me last time?"

Jia Zheng was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "I didn't know when my son came back."

"The boss won the Marquis?"

"That's right. Big brother paid back the 80 silver owed today, and because he was the first to pay back the silver, the saint gave him the Marquis of Rongguo."

Jia's mother was almost crying because of her second son.This is the first thing to pay back the money. This is the boss who voted for Jinshang, and Jinshang accepted him to train him, promote him and give him a title. This is for the boss to take military power in the future.Looking at the second child, she continued to complain to herself about the unreasonableness of the boss. Jia's mother felt that Jia Zheng was in his 40s, and he was still so unresponsive, so there was really nothing he could do.Forget it, live happily ever after.

"Second brother, let your eldest brother follow him. Now he is the patriarch of this branch, don't go against him, if you suffer a loss, your mother can't protect you in this Lixiangyuan. Go, go back early, Xue Dalu It's slippery. Go back and drink some ginger soup, soak in hot water, and get rid of the cold."

Mother Jia drove away her second son, who was determined to complain, but didn't say anything happy, and got up to go to the Buddhist hall in the front hall to offer incense.The mother-in-law who followed her, even though they were all arranged by Jia Amnesty and the old man of the old lady of the country, did not care for Jia's mother, but still took good care of her.Seeing the freezing weather, he persuaded her, "Old lady, let's go to worship Buddha tomorrow."

Mother Jia shook her head, and the women who served had no choice but to set up more braziers in the Buddhist hall, set up screens, and lowered the cotton curtain.

"My lord, the boss has won the Marquis. But in the future, he will be in charge of the army." Jia Mu knelt in front of the Buddha, but she was talking to Jia Daishan in her mouth.There is both the gratification that the Rongguo Mansion can rise again, and the worry that it will not get rid of military power according to Jia Daishan's design.

"Master Guo, you said that the boss would not pick up Yuanchun. I know that if you want to live, you will not be willing to send Yuanchun in. But at that time, there is no way. The boss is trapped and cannot leave the mansion. The second child is in the Ministry of Industry, how can he be a person who can be a leader in the Ministry of Industry. Now that the eldest is a marquis, if Yuan Chun can further have a prince, the second child's family will rise up. Alas, now, I am afraid of the boss Take Yuan Chun out, and that big girl has been abandoned in the palace for so long."

Jia's mother had long hoped that Jia She would go against her words and give Yuan Chun a position in the palace that was neither high nor low.What I'm afraid of now is that Jia She will pick up Yuanchun and come out.

Alas, this boss, now I really can't tell when he is obedient and when he is going against the grain.

Jiamu knelt in the Buddhist hall for almost half an hour, when the two women came in, no matter how unwilling Jiamu was, they wrapped her up in a cloak and took her back to the back bedroom.Not only poured thick ginger soup, but also soaked Jia Mu's feet.In this weather, if the old lady knelt down in the Buddhist hall and fell ill, don't look at the master who hates Jia's mother and doesn't see her, she is also his own mother.

Because of the news brought by Jia Zheng that night, when Jia's mother was awake, her mind was full of thoughts about Jia Amnesty's taking over the military power in the future.Finally fell asleep, but dreamed that the emperor made a decree—abolishing the current emperor.Then the prince from Concubine Zhen, and the son of the old thousand-year-old, were fighting for the 12-prong crown worn by a saint. with.She watched the crown being torn apart by the two of them, which woke her up with fright, breaking out in a cold sweat.

When the night watchwoman heard Jia Mu's movements, she asked her if she was going to get up at night. Jia Mu didn't say anything about having nightmares or sweating. dawn.

When she woke up the next day, Mother Jia felt dizzy, and she didn't want to have breakfast.The women were so frightened that they rushed to Lin Zhixiao and reported the old lady's discomfort.
