Before Jia Hu went to meet the bride, according to his father's instructions, he took his best man to Rongqingtang to bid farewell to his grandmother.Alas, this string of handsome young men made the old grandmothers who sat and chatted with Jia's mother in the Rongqing hall very happy.I was so happy that these female family members who arrived first, flattered Jia Mu happily in their mouths, and thanked Jia Mu secretly in their hearts.Because Jia's mother asked the boys' names, ages, fathers and grandparents one by one, and asked if they were engaged.

All the young men were so ashamed that they had no choice but to answer out of politeness.These young people also know that those who can accompany Mrs. Rong Guogong and Mrs. Rong in the Rongqing Hall are all distinguished nobles. If they can form a good relationship, they will not subdue themselves in the future.Therefore, each of them showed their best manners and showed themselves in Rongqing Hall.

And those who accompanied Jia Zhen to greet the relatives, who looked like their children's fathers, were stopped outside the Rongqing hall.As someone who has been there, Jia Zhen also knows about the disguised blind dates in Rongqing Hall, so he smiled and chatted with his clansmen on his own.He knew in his heart that people like them who had been married before would be mixed into the welcoming team because they encountered difficulties and had to go up to them to resist, lest the young man was too tender-skinned and was made things difficult by the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion so that he couldn't pick up the bride.

In the end, the official media saw that the time was almost up, and they came to Rongqing Hall to remind Jia Mu, the old concubine, the old princes and wives, etc., to let these young men go.

Jia Hu's wedding ceremony gathered young youths from the upper-class honors in the capital, and everyone who looked at the wedding team was adored.Some old men thought that it would be nice to have such a grandson in their family; those at Jia She’s age thought that they had been so young back then; It was because she hated herself for not being a little more handsome and born a little higher, so that she could squeeze into the queue to welcome her relatives.

Before Jia Amnesty sent the invitation, he reached an agreement with Li Guogong, and after Jia Zhu got engaged, he made an engagement for Yuan Chun.So Mother Jia waited for the young man who was welcoming the bride to withdraw, and immediately said to the guests beside her, "The eldest grandson of Duke Li's family really has the aura of a Duke."

Haha, a 15-year-old boy, what else is there besides his childish face.But Jiamu's words made people around think of the two granddaughters who were just beside Jiamu, and knew that Jiamu was the eldest grandson of the Duke's Mansion.Everyone also laughed and praised the boy in unison.Duke Li has been marginalized for many years, and the mansion has nothing but titles, so it is not worth competing with the Rongguo Mansion.

As for the eldest daughter of the second room of the Rongguo Mansion, she is barely worthy of being supported by her uncle, Jia She.

Yuan Chun had been told by Jia's mother early to let her watch people behind the screen.When she saw the young man from Li Guogong's mansion who was not inferior to Jia Hu and Jia Zhu's demeanor, she knew that this was the marriage that her uncle had arranged for her.But she didn't forget the character that her grandmother had entrusted to her, and asked her to take a closer look at the second daughter of the Duke of Qi's mansion, whether she was friendly and behaved enough, she was the girl who was going to be betrothed to her brother Jia Zhu.

After welcoming the new couple back, Yuan Chun took Ying'er and a few little sisters with her, and slipped out of the new house after the married woman left.The newcomer shyly dressed in a red wedding dress, bridal make-up and emerald hair, sitting on the wedding bed.Seeing these girls whom he knew, who were not much younger than him, and the two sister-in-laws, he pursed his lips and smiled, signaling to the servant girl to entertain him.

What Yuanchun always pays attention to is the girls from the Duke's Mansion of Qi who came with him, how he gets along with the bride, and how he gets along with other girls.But many years later, when she understood that as long as the second girl of Duke Qi's mansion was alive, her uncle would marry her back for her brother, she still couldn't help but twitch her lips when she recalled how serious she was back then. smile.

Ningrong and Rongfu held a big banquet, and those who received the post came, and those who did not receive the post would be arranged to have a seat.The sons of the Duke of Qi and the Duke of Liu were coaxed by Jia Shen's words "Please help my father-in-law", so they happily helped Jia She entertain Wu Xun.Jia Jing and Zhang Zan were entrusted by Jia Amnesty to entertain Qingliu who passed the imperial examination, and Jia Zheng went to entertain lower-level officials of the Ministry of War.

Wei Jiu came to present gifts on behalf of the saint, two white jade ruyi handles, a plate of gold lockets and a plate of silver lockets, as well as some palace satin and so on.The prince has less palace satin than the saint.Jia She laughed loudly, and invited Wei Jiu and San Dezi to have a drink at the same table, and said to them, "I have prepared a return gift for the sage and the prince, and that is the only one in the capital."

The guests from the clan sat at two tables.Prince Fu was at the top, followed by the four, six, and seven princes. With Prince Fu, an upright and good old man, the clan was very well-behaved and did not make a fuss.

The clan and Wu Xun didn't have a drink, and the Qingliu people basically wouldn't lose their composure on such an occasion.Jia Jing drank a half smoked drink, saw Zhang Zan's nephew who came to toast with tears in his eyes, and stepped forward to rescue Jia Hu.

"Jichen, today is a good day for Brother Hu. So many people are waiting for Brother Hu to toast."

Zhang Zan was embarrassed, but just looked at his nephew and thought of his sister.Alas, why can't Zhen'er think about it, have a good day...

Zhang Zan got rid of his longing for his sister, and he also shouldered the task of helping entertain Qingliu.Together with Jia Jing, he took Jia Hu to toast at the table and recognized people one by one.I don't know what my brother-in-law thinks, there are so many people, I want everyone to toast to my nephew.Zhang Zan was very worried. Today's wine is very good, but it is easy to sin.

The best men who toasted with Jia Hu all blushed from drinking.Jia Hu looked fine.Jia Jing watched his son clinging to his nephew, pouring wine for his nephew, pondered for a while and laughed.

"Jichen, don't worry about Brother Hu, the wine he drank is not as strong as ours."

The whole wedding reception went well.Because Jia Amnesty said that there was a gift for the sage and the prince in return, Wei Jiu and San Dezi's appetites were whetted. When the banquet was over, they found that Marquis Rong Enhou's return gift was pure wine, ten jars for the saint and eight jars for the prince.

Wei Jiu grinned so much wine, is he going to take a bath? !

Jia She held Wei Jiu's shoulders, pointed to the label and said, "The wine in these two jars has been stored for five years. They are also the last two jars of wine in Rongguo Mansion that have been stored for five years. The sage and the crown prince each have a jar. You both drank the same kind of wine, you know the taste. The rest are from last year. This is my heart. I will thank the saint and the crown prince for the Marquis when I return to the palace, and thank Liang Jiu and others for dragging you two. Those who bring congratulatory gifts."

After Wei Jiu returned to the palace, he reported exactly what Jia She said in return to the sage.He licked his lips, recalled the taste of the wine, and suggested to the saint: "Rong Enhou's wine is mellow and delicious, but it's too strong, so you can't drink too much."

The saint has always been kind to Liang Jiu and Wei Jiu who are serving him.Hearing this, he asked, "Wei Jiu, how much have you drunk?"

Wei Jiu replied with a smile: "Saint, this old slave only drank three small cups, and I wouldn't dare to drink any more. Prince Fu said that this is pure wine that can only be found in Piaoxianglou, and it will be cellared for a year on weekdays. It costs one tael of silver a catty, and it’s rare to see one that has been stored in the cellar for three years. He almost got drunk."

Wei Jiu's words aroused the interest of the saint.During dinner, the sage had a drink, and then praised the "good wine", thinking that the congratulatory gift he gave Jia Amnesty could be exchanged for the last two jars of wine that had been cellared for five years, which was not a loss.

The prince heard that there were only two jars in the five-year cellar, and immediately gave his share to the saint.

After Jia Hu got married, Jia Amnesty received a reply letter from his relatives sent to the north, and Wang Zisheng and his wife found it.The husband and wife died in the inn due to the wind and cold. The owner of the inn reported to the official and went through the local yamen, but Wang Ren disappeared.Jia Amnesty arrived in person, which can be regarded as helping the local yamen.The three relatives delivered the letter and sent the person to Jinling at the same time.

The prefect of Jinling received the letter, and immediately sent people to confirm that it was the head of the Wang family. Seeing that the Rongguo Mansion had sent people back from the north, as well as the official documents from the Yamen where he died, he understood Rongguo Mansion's attitude and immediately sent the official documents to Beijing.

As for the eight-year-old Wang Ren, how to find it is a trivial matter for the Ministry of Punishment.

The two official documents from the prefect of Jinling were sent to Yang Shangshu's desk at the Ministry of Punishment.Yang Shangshu carefully read the two official documents, and immediately understood that the previous official document of the prefect of Jinling was detained because Wang Zisheng and his wife escaped.

Now that Wang Zisheng and his wife are dead, this was confirmed by the prefect of Jinling.Wang Ziteng was not an important person either. The Wang family only got rid of an eight-year-old child, so it was not a big deal.He didn't want to go against the majestic Marquis Rong En, so he followed the routine and didn't mention it in front of the saint.

But Yang Shangshu didn't want the favor he gave to Jia Amnesty to be empty, so it was passed on through Zhang Zan.After the Rongguo Mansion got the letter, the important event that had been hanging in his heart for several months came to fruition, and Jia Zheng burst into tears again with joy.

When Wang learned of the death of her brother and sister-in-law, she could only cry a few times quietly in her room, and did not dare to wear mourning. She only changed into plain clothes and became a vegetarian herself.Thinking that Zhou Rui's family followed her for more than 20 years, and was eventually sent to the Northwest by Jia Amnesty to be an official slave, and all the members of her natal family and husband's family were also sent to the Northwest. I secretly hated, but there was nothing I could do.And because the marriages arranged by his own sons and daughters were all based on Jia She's face, they got the upper-class family and talents, with mixed feelings in his heart, entangled thoughts and emotions, and suffered from heatstroke , Lingering sick bed.

The saint's Zen ceremony is arranged in early September, and there are two good days in summer, but the crown prince thinks that the saint's body is already weak, and he can't bear the tedious ceremonies such as offering sacrifices to heaven in summer, so he changed it to early autumn when the temperature is more suitable.The saint looked at the prince thinking about himself everywhere, and lost a bit of the melancholy of the Zen position.In a happy mood, he handed over the Jingying Jiedu to Jia Amnesty, and the Ministry of War emptied the position of Minister of the Ministry of War and a servant.

The sage called Jia She to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and asked Jia She for his opinion.

Jia Amnesty looked at the sage and the prince who were eagerly waiting for his answer, and smiled calmly: "Shangshu of the Ministry of War, I think I can do it. Minister of the Ministry of War, it is up to the sage and the prince to make a decision."

"How about Duke Qi and Duke Li?" the sage asked Jia Amnesty.

"Too old. Not qualified for the position of Minister of War." Jia Amnesty replied bluntly, with a nonchalant attitude, which showed his disapproval of the two.

"Where is the eldest son of the two mansions? He is about the same age as you." The prince smiled and asked Jia Amnesty for the saint.

"His Royal Highness, you see that the ministers married them because they only have empty titles left. But the Minister of the Ministry of War is the position of the court, and the minister can't recommend them just because they are in-laws?"

Jia Amnesty replied without shame, and added at the end, "Then why don't you give all the official positions to the clan."

The prince answered Jia Amnesty's nonsense without hesitation, and couldn't laugh or cry.The sage waved his hand to let Jia Amnesty go down, and he didn't say whether he would be given the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

Soon it was the official day for the ceremony of the Zen seat selected by Qin Tianjian.

At the end of the ceremony, all the participating officials were exhausted.After returning home, I wish I could drag the cat's tail to bed.But this night was doomed to be a sleepless night. At midnight, there was continuous knocking of cloud panels in the palace.

The tired officials packed up as quickly as possible after being called up by their families, and hurried to the Forbidden City.Everyone was uneasy.
