The eldest son of the red mansion

Without the blessing of Dragon Qi, things in the world are a bit hard to say.And the way of heaven also responded to Jia Ke's thoughts and brought natural disasters to this dynasty, which accelerated the consumption of this dynasty's luck.These things will not appear for a while, but I think there will be news within half a year.

Besides, it was a lively time in Rongguo Mansion at this time. Jia Yuanchun sat on the main hall and asked all the sisters to present poems as congratulations.By the way, check out the talents of the sisters.

To say that among these sisters, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu are the most powerful. Although his three sisters have some talents, they are inferior to these two.

Jia Baoyu can only get a middle-of-the-road among them, so something went wrong when he was doing things.Originally, he wrote three poems, but Jia Baoyu wrote two in a row, but he couldn't write the third one.

Standing by the side, Lin Daiyu saw Jia Baoyu scratching his head and unable to write, so she quietly walked up to him and took a look.Then I went back to my place and quietly wrote a little poem.He came to Jia Baoyu again, pretended to talk to him, and handed the finished poem to him.

Jia Baoyu took it, opened it, and was overjoyed immediately, "My sister still loves me. Otherwise, I don't know how to deal with it."

Xue Baochai watched the exchange between the two from a distance, smiled ironically and then turned her head away.He is even more disdainful than Jia Baoyu, this Jia Baoyu relies on women all the time, what will he do in the future?

Thinking of this, Xue Baochai couldn't help but look outside the hall.That person must be having a feast outside the palace now, and only he can be worthy of himself in this Rongguo Mansion.

Soon it was the third quarter of the ugly, when the eunuch entered the main hall of the family-speaking villa, and came to Jia Yuanchun, "I am a thousand-year-old lady, it is already the third quarter of the ugly, please drive back to Luan."

Jia Yuanchun was still smiling all over his face, but when he heard his words, his eyes were filled with tears immediately, but he forced a smile, stood up from the throne, and walked a few steps forward to the table where Jiamu and Mrs. Wang sat. , took the hands of both of them and said: "The old lady and mother don't need to miss me. Now we have visits in the palace every month. It is easy for us to meet. There is nothing to be sad about. But I want to tell the old lady, mother In a word, if you can visit relatives next year, you must not be so extravagant and wasteful."

At this time, Jiamu and the others were crying so hard that they couldn't help themselves, but there was nothing they could do about the rules of the court.Jia Yuanchun, who could only surround her, sent her out of the garden.

At this time, Jia Zheng, Jia She, Jia Ke, Jia Zhu and Jia Lian were waiting outside the gate.When they saw Jia Yuanchun coming out, they quickly knelt down and saluted.

Jia Yuanchun took a few steps forward and gave him a little support.Immediately a eunuch stepped forward to help them up.Jia Yuanchun is also full of worries now, but he can't tell them.

Jia Ke took advantage of this time when the family members of Jia's mansion separated the maids and eunuchs around Jia Yuanchun, took a step forward, and said softly to Jia Yuanchun, "Your Majesty is a thousand years old, this time when you return to the palace, you will be escorted by my servants. You don’t have to worry about those Xiao Xiaoxiao, there is no one in the world who can hurt you with the protection of humble ministers.”

Jia Yuanchun was originally full of thoughts and didn't know how to express them, but when he suddenly heard him say that, he understood immediately, and Jia Ke had already seen what she meant.This is telling her to let her go back with peace of mind, even the emperor in the world can't do anything to her.

Hearing Jia Ke's words, my heart was turbulent.From the emperor's words, she had already heard the emperor's resentment towards the Jia family.That's why I took this time to go home and wake up Jia's house in my body and mind.Originally wanted to count on Jia's rapid retreat to protect himself.I didn't expect to get such a sentence from Jia Ke. Now that I think about it, it's no wonder that the emperor hated the Jia family. Which emperor can tolerate such a powerful minister, but it's really uncomfortable for her, a virtuous concubine, to be caught in the middle.

But Jia Yuanchun breathed a sigh of relief, she was always worried that the Jia family would be destroyed without preparation.Since Jia Ke said so, presumably there are some arrangements, at least the personal safety of Jia's family and herself can be guaranteed.

It was only now that Jia Yuanchun began to relax. She raised her head and glanced at Jia Ke lightly, then nodded and said, "If that's the case, I'll trouble you, brother."

Jia Ke hurriedly returned the gift and said: "How dare you be worthy of a thousand-year-old thank you from your empress. I see that your mother is still in good health. I hope your empress will be able to help the royal family as soon as possible."

Jia Yuanchun saw that Jia Ke's answer was inconsistent, but the point was to ask her to get pregnant and have a baby.Hearing this, she couldn't help but her eyes lit up, if she had a child.Then there will be a bond between the emperor and Jia Ke, and the conflict between the two parties will be eased, and this child will also receive Jia Ke's full support, and it will be easy to become emperor in the future.

Thinking of this, Jia Yuanchun couldn't help blushing with excitement.I feel that this is a best-of-three approach, which can not only guarantee the continuation of the royal family, but also ensure the wealth and honor of the Jia family, and I can also become the empress dowager in the harem.As for the emperor, if he is sacrificed at that time, there is no other way.

It turns out that solving this problem is so simple, why didn't I think of it, and I was still worrying and worrying.

At this time, Jia Yuanchun said with a smile in his eyes: "Don't worry, brother, I understand."

As soon as Jia Yuanchun finished saying these words, an eunuch came to greet him, so Jia Yuanchun went to Luanyu with tears in his eyes, bid farewell to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and then put down the sedan chair curtain.Surrounded by all the court ladies and eunuchs, he left Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Zheng brought all the men from Rongguo Mansion to Ningrong Street, where he knelt down again and bid farewell to Jia Yuanchun.It wasn't until Jia Yuanchun's Luanyu disappeared that they each got up and went back to continue drinking and watching the theater.

At this time, Jia Ke led the troops to guard Jia Yuanchun and went all the way to the palace.

Jia Ke kept sending Jia Yuanchun to the gate of the palace, watched Jia Yuanchun's wife enter the palace, and then went back in peace.

This time concubine concubine's family visit is over. In fact, for each concubine's family, they did not get any substantial benefits. Instead, they wasted a lot of money. In fact, the gains outweighed the losses.But it only allowed the Taishanghuang and the emperor to gain some good reputations among the people.It also allowed the ministers to see the emperor's favor for Jia Ke and others.

The next day, the entire Jia Mansion is now resting due to the fatigue of the previous night.Suddenly someone at the door sent a message to Jia Zheng, saying that the eunuch in the palace had brought something from the concubine Yuan, and asked Jia Zheng to go quickly.

Jia Zheng didn't go to sleep until five drums yesterday, and now he has just slept for an hour or two, but he had no choice but to get up, get dressed, and come to Rongxi Hall.

At this time, there were already several eunuchs waiting in Rongxi Hall. When Jia Zheng came out, he quickly knelt down and saluted. After all, Jia Zheng was the father of Concubine Yuan, and his son was also the minister of military affairs.How dare these little eunuchs have any pride.

Jia Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to help them up, "Please a few father-in-laws to come here specially, I am grateful here, how can I accept the gift from my father-in-law?"

The little eunuch hurriedly replied: "The slaves are all servants by the empress's side, the lord is the father of the empress, we lowly people naturally have to salute to the noble."

After everyone was polite, the eunuch presented a summary for Jia Zheng to watch.

It turned out that Jiamu's possessions were gold and jade Ruyi handles, an agarwood walking stick, a string of Canan rosary beads, four pieces of "Fugui Changchun" palace satin, four pieces of "Fushou Changchun" palace silk, and purple gold "pen ingots Ruyi" ten ingots. "There is more than auspiciousness" ten silver ingots.Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Qin Keqing and other three people, only Ruyi, Guai and Zhu were subtracted.This is because Qin Keqing's rank is too high, and the gift should have surpassed Mrs. Wang and others, but she is a junior of Mrs. Wang and others, so she can only be made equal to Mrs. Wang and others.

Jia Jing, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Ke and others each received two new imperial books, two boxes of precious ink, and two gold and silver cups each.Baochai, Daiyu's younger sisters, etc., each have a new book, a Baoyan, two pairs of gold and silver in the new style, and Daiyu has an extra red coral bracelet.Baoyu and Jialan had two gold and silver collars, two pairs of gold and silver necklaces, and Baoyu also had an extra string of red coral bracelets. It seems that this was specially arranged by Concubine Yuan, and it was regarded as an acknowledgment of their marriage.

Youshi, Liwan, Fengjie, etc. all have four ingots of gold and silver, and four gifts.There are also 24 table gifts, five hundred strings of clear money, which are given to Jiamu, Mrs. Wang and the nannies and maids in the sisters' rooms.Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Huan, Jia Rong, etc. are all at the end of the ceremony, a pair of gold and silver.The remaining hundred bolts of colorful satin, a thousand taels of silver, and several bottles of royal wine were given to the East and West prefectures and the garden management projects, furnishings, promises, and opera and lamp holders.There are three hundred strings of copper coins outside, which are given to kitchen servants, actors, operas, and miscellaneous pedestrians.

For a while, Rongguo Mansion was extremely happy from top to bottom, and almost everyone got a reward, so everyone was grateful for Jia Yuanchun's kindness.

Chapter 356 Taxation

However, Rongguo Mansion finally calmed down after Jia Yuanchun visited his relatives.The masters and masters can also rest for a while, and the servants also started to herd the sheep without the masters' restraint.

Among them, Jia Baoyu is the happiest, and now everything is going well for him, and he has already engaged Lin Daiyu, so he has let go of his worries.Secondly, there is a close friend Qin Zhong who is with him day and night, so it can be said that he is carefree.Now the family visit is over and everyone is resting, so naturally no one will control him anymore.It was Jia Baoyu who took Qin Zhong to meet friends in the capital during this time.

As for Qin Zhong, following Jia Baoyu during this period of time can be regarded as gaining insight, and he has seen all the dandies in the capital.The most famous of them is Feng Ziying. Feng Ziying and Jia Baoyu used to be good friends. They have always been very close to the King of Beijing. However, because of the dirtyness of Jia Ke and the King of Beijing recently, the King of Beijing was confined at home. The relationship between them and King Jing of Beijing faded away.

That day, Xue Pan passed a message to Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong, saying that he was going to have a banquet in the most famous restaurant in the capital, and asked Qin Zhong and Jia Baoyu to support him first.

Now Qin Zhong and Jia Baoyu are quite well-known in the capital. One of them is the brother-in-law of Jia Ke, the chief minister of the Military Aircraft Department, and the other is the third master of the Rongguo Mansion. Now, Xue Pan's affairs will be smoother.

This time Xue Pan invited guests to the banquet mainly because there was something wrong with the royal supplies they bought last time, so Xue Pan invited the eunuch in charge of the palace to cover up the matter.I have a soft-spoken servant, so I invited Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong to sit in the town.

On that day, when Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong came to the private room of the restaurant, Xue Pan had already started the banquet, and a eunuch in brocade robes was sitting in the middle of the wine table. It's a majestic appearance, which makes people feel intimidated when they look at it.

Seeing Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong coming, Xue Pan stood up and introduced them.

"Two virtuous brothers, this one is Eunuch Zhao, the head of the eunuch purchasing in the palace."

After Xue Pan introduced the eunuch, he turned around and introduced to Eunuch Zhao respectfully, "Eunuch Zhao, I think you don't know these two, one is the third master of Rongguo Mansion, and the other is Marquis Wuyang. My brother-in-law from the mansion, we will get to know each other in the future and hope to take care of each other."

Eunuch Zhao glanced at Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong, stood up and bowed to them, without speaking, just continued to sit in the middle, silent.

Seeing this scene, Xue Pan was also a little bit blind.You must know that something went wrong this time, he had tried to make contacts everywhere, but it was of no use. Finally, he finally invited the manager, thinking of inviting Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong to put some pressure on the manager, so that He let this matter go, but he didn't expect the old eunuch to be soft and hard.

But Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong are both non-human beings, they didn't see the reason, they bowed their hands to Eunuch Zhao and entered the table.

The eunuch Zhao saw that the two of them were seated, so he asked, "My lords, why are you here this time?"

This sentence stunned the two of them. They came this time only at Xue Pan's invitation and said that a friend introduced them to them. They didn't expect Eunuch Zhao to ask such a question.

Xue Pan quickly smoothed things over and said, "We are all friends, and we got to know each other this time. We can take care of anything in the future."

So who is Eunuch Zhao?He could see through Xue Pan's intentions at a glance.But after thinking about it, since these two are here, they can't lose face.Besides, Jia Ke is indeed in power now, so it's better not to bother him about such a trivial matter.

"Since the two of you are here, our family has to give us face. This matter is over, but our family has to tell Uncle Xue that if there is another time, our family will not be able to cover it up for you. "

Xue Pan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed to the eunuch.

The eunuch Zhao stood up, cupped his hands and said to them: "Since the matter has been settled, we still have something to do in the palace, so I won't bother you any more, so I will take my leave."

After Eunuch Zhao finished speaking, he turned around and left the restaurant, Xue Pan followed behind, sent him out the door, and then came back.
