Chapter 389 Aunt Xue: Kissing and kissing is also good
Anshun Gate, City Gate Tower
Once Emperor Chongping's decree was established, there were cabinet ministers to draft it.
According to the title of the duke and son of Chen Han, the duke is a superior rank. It is difficult to be awarded this third-class title unless he has made significant military achievements.
Viscount is the first rank, baron is the first rank.
The first, second and third grades are only reflected in changes in hereditary and salary, but not in grade.
The reason why Jia Heng was promoted to the rank of first-class male was not only because of Emperor Chongping's need to facilitate Jia Heng to lead the troops, but also because of his reward for pacifying the rebellion in the capital camp some time ago and his deeper wooing.
Jia Heng thanked him and left.
In fact, he could also guess the intention of Emperor Chongping. It could be said that he was now deeply bound to the emperor. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to stage a good story about the relationship between the emperor and his ministers.
After Emperor Chongping finished speaking, he turned to Dai Quan and said, "Dai Quan, take out 50,000 pieces of silk from the internal treasure to reward the generals who will be inspected this time."
Dai Quan smiled and said yes.
This was also a routine reward during a military parade, otherwise why would the troops be discouraged? But for Emperor Chongping, it was a small loss of blood.
Emperor Chongping looked around at the ministers and said: "Everyone, please come with me to Zhaoren Palace for a banquet at almost noon."
All the ministers responded in unison.
After the military parade and the ceremony, the civil and military ministers on the gate tower of Anshun Gate looked a little more respectful than before, perhaps due to Emperor Chongping's own illusion.
On the other side, the Supreme Emperor sent the eunuch over, saying that he was tired and tired, so he returned to Chonghua Palace first.
Of course, this was to prevent the embarrassment of father and son sharing the same palace. Emperor Chongping bid farewell to the Supreme Emperor, and then led the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty to Zhaoren Palace.
The monarch and his ministers had a luncheon, drinking and drinking together to celebrate the new year. At the end of the day, the ministers dispersed.
As for the military parade and display of military prowess, it quickly fermented in Shenjing City at a whirlwind speed. Civil servants looked askance at it, and Wu Xun himself was no exception.
The reorganization of the Beijing camp has been put on track, and as soon as it was given the power, it fell under the control of the Ningguo Mansion of the Jia family.
Shenjing City, Wangzhai
In the wing room, the prince was wearing a plain robe, holding a military book and reading it. These days he was idle at home, and the once high-spirited commander-in-chief of the Beijing Camp seemed to have become much more decadent.
But after encountering big changes, my mentality has undoubtedly become calmer.
I still have time to read books that I didn’t have time to read in the past.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the study, and then a young man in simple clothes and a keen filial piety walked in with a hurried expression.
"What's wrong? You look hurried." Wang Ziteng put down the book and asked Wang Yi with a frown.
Wang Yi cupped his hands and gave a salute and said: "Father, I just heard the news from Beijing. Jia Heng was parading at Anshun Gate. The soldiers shouted long live. His Majesty Long Yan was so happy that he was promoted to a first-class male."
"A military parade is a military parade... Well, what did you say?" Wang Ziteng said indifferently at first, but suddenly he woke up with a scary look in his eyes.
Finally, has the day come?
The Holy One is paving the way for Jia Heng to take over the capital camp, and only by being promoted to a first-class male rank can he easily lead the troops.
Is it just that at his age, he is the military envoy of the Beijing camp?
Wang Ziteng shook his head, looked at Wang Yi aggressively, and asked, "Can you see the soldiers he trained? What do you think?"
Wang Yi frowned and said: "My son did not go to watch the ceremony, but I heard from some people that the military appearance is neat and orderly, and the soldiers are like a forest, which is highly praised by the emperor and the courtiers."
Wang Ziteng sighed, suppressed the negative emotions of jealousy and resentment in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Today is the first day of the first lunar month. You go and prepare a generous gift and send it to the Ningguo Mansion. In addition, King Beijing and Prince Nan'an
I will also send gifts to several other families."
Wang Yi's face changed drastically and he said angrily: "Father, it's okay to give gifts to Beijing and Nan'an families, but what does it mean to give gifts to Jia Heng's son? Who does Jia Heng's son count? My father has ended up like this, he Jia Heng
Heng is also responsible!"
Wang Ziteng was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The four clans of King Jia Shi and Xue were originally connected to the same branch. They were both prosperous and damaged. It can be said that the bones are connected to the tendons. In the future, you should not say anything resentful to others.
"
If he wants to come back, he may have to rely on Jia Heng's help.
Previously, he had fallen out with the Prince of Nan'an County, the Prince of Beijing, and others due to the rectification of the capital camp. Although the emperor felt guilty because of the death of his family members, he might be able to recover in the future, but if any of these people did something bad, he would not be able to come back.
Be subject to more setbacks.
Yes, at this moment Wang Ziteng is bowing his head and admitting defeat.
The four major families, King Xue of Jia Shi, must have a leader. Wang Ziteng, who originally inherited the legacy of the Jia family's army, had the power to overpower the Shi family, but an accident turned everything into nothing.
He, Wang Ziteng, must bear with his anger for a while and get over this hurdle first!
Wang Yi looked anxious and called: "Father."
"Go and put away your pride for the sake of our Wang family!" Wang Ziteng snorted coldly and scolded.
Back then, in order to take advantage of the power of the Jia family, the Wang family's sister married into the Jia family as a daughter-in-law, and he also humbled himself in front of Duke Xiao Rong, and that's how he is today.
Wang Yi's body was shaken, and he struggled for a while, then he cupped his hands and said, "Yes, father."
With that said, he turned around and left the study, preparing a generous gift.
In the original work, Sister Feng once said to Jia Lian, half boasting and half sarcastically, "I can sweep all the cracks in the Wang family's floor and it will be enough for you to live a lifetime."
Although this is somewhat exaggerated, as the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion, it is impossible for Sister Feng to use a fantasy to ridicule Jia Lian. So it can only be said that the Wang family is rich in wealth, at least to some extent.
It is much better than Rong Guofu, which is strong on the outside and cadre on the inside.
Prince Zhongshun's Mansion
In the attic, King Zhongshun was wearing a brocade robe with a Sujin bamboo pattern, lying on the bed recovering from his injuries. Because of the injury on his buttocks, the old prince did not even go to the royal family banquet, so he could only stay at home, which was quite boring.
Fortunately, on the stage, Qi Guan'er and a few actors were singing a tune. Qi Guan'er shook her flowing sleeves and looked like a woman from a Jiangnan water town. Her figure was as graceful as a willow tree, while the man pretended to be a woman.
The look is enchanting and charming.
King Zhongshun was so angry that he turned to the old lady who was waiting in the distance and whispered: "Go and call Qi Guan'er."
Shaoqing, the music suddenly stopped. Qi Guan'er swayed her flowing sleeves, walked gracefully, and said, "Your Majesty, please give me your orders."
King Zhongshun looked at Qi Guan'er, whose face was powdered, and her cheeks and eyelids were all smeared with rouge. He felt that Qi Guan'er was enchanting, gorgeous, and aroused his heart. Only his concubine Wei Lan could compete with her.
King Zhongshun finally landed on those two red lips, revealing a smile that chilled Qi Guaner.
"Qi Guan'er, come here and serve Yu Gu." King Zhongshun stretched out his hand to shield the maid and said with a chuckle.
These past few days have been suffocating him.
Qi Guan'er's heart sank, but she didn't move her feet. She whispered: "The prince is not very happy, I'm afraid..."
King Zhongshun smiled and said, "Then come here."
As he spoke, he said something.
Qi Guan'er's expression suddenly changed, and she hesitated to say something.
"Come here!" King Zhongshun lost his patience and said angrily.
Qi Guan'er's heart was filled with humiliation, and she was about to get closer when suddenly a voice came from the corner of the attic stairs, "Your Majesty, is your Majesty in the house?"
It was none other than Shi Zhoushun, the chief minister of the palace.
King Zhongshun frowned, glanced at Qi Guan'er coldly, and shouted: "Go and ask Zhou Changshi what's the matter."
At this time, Qi Guan'er felt as if he had received a general amnesty, and went out of the hall to call Zhou Changshi.
Zhou Shun quickly entered the side room, his face was ugly, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, something serious has happened."
King Zhongshun frowned and said, "What's the matter? Are you in such a panic?"
Zhou Shunping calmed down his breathing and said in a deep voice: "Jia Heng won the prize in the military parade and was made a first-class baron by the palace."
When King Zhongshun heard this, he stood up suddenly, his face was as gloomy as a dark cloud, and he said angrily: "How can he be so virtuous and capable, why can he be knighted?"
However, before he could finish speaking, a heartbreaking pain came from his buttocks, causing King Zhongshun to scream in pain. This prince was not the type to endure hardship.
Zhou Shun sighed, stepped forward and helped King Zhongshun lie down again, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Jia Heng's son is more and more trusted by the Holy One now. I'm afraid it won't be easy for a short time."
King Zhongshun looked livid and said coldly: "I know, we need to discuss this in the long term."
How could he not know that if he was really driven by anger, he would not have survived the brutal battle for the right to inherit the throne.
Seeing that King Zhongshun quickly regained his senses, Zhou Shun secretly said to himself, he is worthy of being a prince.
Zhou Shundao: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Jia Heng sent Xue Pan of the Xue family in, and also involved Jia Yu Village, the prefect of Jinling. This person has been dismissed by the Holy Spirit for questioning."
King Zhongshun frowned and said in surprise: "This prison officer asked for your name."
Zhou Shun did not hide anything and said: "Your Majesty, this person's friend Zhang Rugui of the same age is from the same hometown as Xiaguan. When he was running to rescue Jia Yu Village, he sought help from Xiaguan's family."
In fact, people like Jia Yucun, who were born as civil servants, had countless township party members in the same year. In addition, not long ago, Zhou Shun had just wanted to find faults in Jia Heng and blocked them in advance. When he learned that Jia Yucun had been convicted and lost his official position, he was punished.
Keep your thoughts in mind.
Seeing that King Zhongshun was hesitant, Zhou Shun persuaded him: "Your Majesty, this person was involved in the Xue family's life case because he was trying to please the Jia family, but now he has been betrayed by Jia Heng's son and has been exposed to the Holy Emperor. Now in Jia Yu Village
He is being detained in the Metropolitan Procuratorate awaiting trial, and he already hates Jia Heng's son. Why doesn't the prince lend a helping hand and recruit one or two officials who are Jinshi for his own use?"
King Zhongshun paused and said in a cold voice: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate has just changed the general constitution. He is a donkey and is not easy to talk to. When he was the governor of Jingzhao, he didn't give me much face. It's not like you don't know.
.”
Of course King Zhongshun was talking about Xu Lu.
Zhou Shun thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, since Xu Deqing is known for being upright and upright, he will not bend the law and miss the punishment. Now, although Jia Yucun bends the law for personal gain, his crime will not lead to the deprivation of his official title. Just like what the prince asked the capital procuratorate to do,
If you don't punish him impartially just because the emperor has given him the task, demote him several levels in a row and demote him to the county magistrate. After a year or two, if you want to revive him again, the prince can recruit a civil servant who regards Rongning and Ningfu as enemies."
King Zhongshun thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "You can go and work on this matter. You can go and find Mr. Shi Peng, the left deputy capital censor."
Zhou Shun was overjoyed and handed over his hand.
He obtained the eight thousand taels of silver handed over to Zhang Rugui by Jia Yucun, and was persuaded by him to seek a misdemeanor sentence for Jia Yucun. He was entrusted by others and wanted to be loyal to his people.
Furthermore, he had a conversation with Jia Yucun and found that although this man was in prison, he was calm-tempered and spoke openly. He was not depressed because of his conviction and was even quite resentful of the Jia family.
…
…
However, Jia Heng received a few words of encouragement from the emperor and left the study room where Zhaoren Palace was located. He was about to leave the palace and return to Ningguo Mansion. Just as he passed the wide and straight royal road with tall red eaves, he suddenly heard a soft call from behind him.
.
"Master Jia, stay."
Jia Heng couldn't help but be stunned. Without him, the sound of "Master Jia" always reminded him of Master Wei. He suppressed the weirdness in his heart and looked back.
But he saw a young woman wearing pink and white palace clothes, with a slim figure and a waterfall of black hair hanging around her waist. She called him with a smile. She was Lianxue, the personal maid of the eldest princess of Jinyang.
"Miss Lianxue." Jia Heng replied softly. He couldn't help but glance behind Lianxue and saw that there was no beauty. He couldn't help but feel disappointed in his heart.
I haven’t seen Jinyang for a while, and I miss him a little.
Seeing this scene, Lianxue couldn't help laughing and said: "Master Jia is looking for His Highness the Princess?"
Jia Heng said: "Why don't you see His Highness Jinyang?"
Lianxue came closer and said softly: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is still in Changle Palace at the moment. She will return to the Princess Mansion alone in Shenshi later. Is Master Jia free?"
Jia Heng said softly: "I'll have nothing to do tonight."
Hearing this, Lianxue understood and said with a smile: "Then I will go back and talk to the princess first."
As he spoke, he turned around and suddenly turned to look at Jia Heng. He blinked and said, "Congratulations to Jia Heng for being promoted to first-class baron."
Jia Heng smiled lightly, but didn't say much else.
Lianxue smiled, turned and left without saying anything else.
Looking at Lianxue's retreating figure, a suspicion arose in my mind.
It can be said that Lianxue helped him and Princess Jinyang to make rapid progress today.
"I think she has something in mind. Let's wait until she wants to say it." Jia Heng thought and walked out of the palace with a calm expression.
Ningguo Mansion
Because it was the first day of the first lunar month, the female relatives of the East and West mansions gathered at Tianxiang Tower to eat wine and listen to the opera.
On the second floor, with curtains all around, birds and birds gathered together, and laughter and laughter could be heard from time to time.
Accompanied by Sister Feng, Li Wan and others, Jia Mu was chatting and laughing with Qin Keqing. Sitting next to her were Yuanchun, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xiangyun, Xichun, Daiyu and others.
Jia Mu looked at Baochai at this time and said with a smile: "Bao girl, why don't you see your mother coming?"
Baochai was in a trance watching the play and didn't know what she was thinking.
At this time, Tanchun tugged on Baochai's sleeve and said with a smile: "Sister Baochai, our ancestors are asking you, why didn't my aunt come?"
When Baochai heard this, her plump and moist face blushed slightly, and then she smiled faintly, her apricot eyes gleaming, and said softly: "Mom is taking a nap right now, maybe she hasn't gotten up yet."
Jia Mu smiled and said: "Yuanyang, go and call your concubine to come over and listen to the play, so we can have a good time together."
She was worried that she would be upset because of Pan'er's incident, so it would be better if she came here to walk around more often.
Yuanyang smiled and said "Hey" and then went straight.
In Lixiangyuan, in the wing room, Aunt Xue was receiving Mrs. Wang. The two sisters were sitting on the bed, holding hands and talking to each other.
Mrs. Wang had just seen Xue Pan's condition and softly comforted her: "Sister, Wenlong looks much better. He is also young and strong."
Aunt Xue's eyes dodged when she heard this, and she hurriedly said: "The doctor said that it will take two months to nourish her."
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang was very thoughtful and she reacted. She sighed and said: "You said this matter is a big deal. My dear relative, that person insists on sending the person to prison, but he is not even as good as an outsider."
."
When Aunt Xue heard this, she looked depressed and lamented: "I don't think so either. He only wants to be an official, but he has suffered a lot from my Pan'er."
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she already understood that her sister was still resenting that person.
"He may not always be a smooth official when he is working outside. You don't know that all the officials in the palace were impeaching him yesterday." Mrs. Wang lowered her voice and said.
Aunt Xue asked: "This...this, didn't the old lady say there was nothing wrong?"
There was a sneer at the corner of Mrs. Wang's lips: "That's what I said, but people are not as good as a thousand days, flowers are not as red as a hundred days, and there is no banquet that lasts forever. There are high winds and rough waves outside, so how can we always be smooth?"
When Aunt Xue heard this, her expression changed several times. She was a little frightened and did not dare to answer the question.
She was really scared. Her son had gone to the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, and his life was still in that person's hands.
Mrs. Wang sighed: "Now the old lady is spoiling him, but there is nothing she can do about it. There are three girls and the eldest girl, but it seems that they can get nothing from him."
Who knows her suffering? Ever since that woman got up, both the old lady and the girl who raised her have seemed to be separated from her by a layer.
Aunt Xue forced a smile and said, "Sister, let's not talk about this for now."
Mrs. Wang looked at her sister's unnatural expression, knowing that because of Xue Pan's incident, she was too angry with that person and dared not speak out, so she sighed.
Aunt Xue changed the subject and said with a wry smile: "Sister, I see that after this year, Bao Ya is not young anymore, so it's time for her to get engaged, but something like this happened at home."
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was surprised and said: "Why are you so anxious to get her engaged? Pan'er just... I'm afraid it's not easy to find a suitable one, but I think Bao Yatou is a good one."
She really liked Baochai's appearance, especially his temperament.
Aunt Xue sighed and asked: "Sister, I think Baoyu is not too young after this year."
Mrs. Wang murmured: "Yes, in a flash...huh?"
As he was talking, he felt something was wrong. He raised his eyes to look at his sister and said, "What does my sister mean?"
"I was thinking if we could kiss each other more, that would be a good idea." Aunt Xue smiled and whispered.
When Mrs. Wang heard this, her expression paused slightly, but she hesitated for a moment.
As soon as Pan'er entered the cell, her family's Baoyu married the prisoner's sister. It was hard to say this... but it was hard to hear.
It's just that Bao Yatou's temperament is virtuous and generous, and she really likes her, not to mention that the Xue family has many business shops in Beijing...
Mrs. Wang was confused for a moment. After thinking about it, she chuckled and said: "Sister, Baoyu is still young, so there is no need to be too anxious. Besides, Baoyu's marriage cannot be bypassed by the old lady after all, so I won't tell him.
These things and the big girl's affairs have not been decided yet."
Thinking about it, it would be better to postpone it for a while.
Anyway, the Xue family is like this. The meat is rotten in the pot and can't escape. Why not let Baoyu see if he can marry a princess, princess or something.
Last time I heard from the eldest girl that there seemed to be an unmarried little princess in the eldest princess's mansion, who was no more than two or three years older than Baoyu, so she was the right age.
Female junior, holding a gold brick.
At this moment, Mrs. Wang, compared to the original work, is adding fuel to the flames of "A Good Marriage". At this moment, I don't know if someone has broadened her horizons and actually has the intention of riding a donkey and running a horse.
When Aunt Xue heard this, she was a little disappointed, but she couldn't show it. She smiled and said, "That's right. There's no need to be too hasty."
Mrs. Wang thought for a while and said with a smile: "Sister, I think Bao Yatou has a good temper. Why don't we let them get along with each other on weekdays first?"
Aunt Xue smiled and said: "That's the truth."
While the two sisters were talking, Yuanyang's voice sounded in the courtyard, "Is my aunt at home?"
