The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 59
Hearing the question from the Supreme Emperor, Emperor Jiading recounted the method discussed with Mu Xu just now, and finally said, "After all, it is the second brother's flesh and blood, and it is not good to be left outside. The father sees that the second brother has already gone. Let me give it to you." This girl is decent, I think the second elder brother is in the spirit of heaven, and he will definitely be grateful to the father."

"As for Jia Jing and Qin Ye, one of them has become a monk now, and the other has raised his niece for so many years. For the sake of the niece who has not met, let them be spared."

The Supreme Emperor was silent for a long while, "Just do as you say, Xu'er, since you found out about this matter, it's up to you to do it, you go to the Ningguo Mansion to deliver the decree for me and the emperor."

Mu Xu bowed his head and said yes, the Supreme Emperor ordered Dai Quan, "You have someone prepare the princess's full set of rewards for Xu'er to bring." Then he said to Mu Xu, "Let her not have to enter the palace to thank her, and just live a good life in the future. After hesitating for a while, he still said, "If there is anything, let her write a letter to the Queen Mother."

Mu Xu said yes, and after thinking about it, he asked again, "Then I don't know what the title is, so Jia Rong wants to be canonized as a county horse?"

After hearing this, the Supreme Emperor asked Emperor Jiading, "Emperor, what do you mean?"

Emperor Jiading murmured, "Let's make her the princess of Hepu. Later, I will order the Ministry of Rites to prepare gold treasures for the princess. As for Jia Rong, let him have the false title of a thousand households of embroidered clothes."

After hearing what Emperor Jiading said, the Supreme Emperor said, "Hepu Huanzhu, that's right, let's call him Princess Hepu."

Seeing that the second emperor had no orders, Mu Xu resigned and went outside the Dragon Head Palace. After waiting for a while, Emperor Jiading came out and waved his hand to signal him to follow. Mu Xu, let him go.

At the gate of the palace, there were already two eunuchs and two maids in a carriage waiting there under the leadership of Dai Quan. After the two met the ceremony, Dai Quan pointed behind him and said, "These eunuchs and maids are gifted by Your Majesty." It’s for that princess, and the carriage behind is a reward from the Supreme Emperor.” He said with a wry smile, “As for the guard of honor of the princess, we can only let the Ministry of Rites rush to make it. There is no ready-made one. After it’s finished, Zha’s family will order it Sent to Ningguo Mansion."

Mu Xu expressed his understanding, and the two exchanged a few words of pleasantries before taking their leave.

……

But on Jia Lian's side, after drinking with Mu Xu and others, they went back to the mansion without going to the yamen.

Entering the house, Wang Xifeng and Heping'er were teasing their three-year-old daughter with a gorgeous hairpin. Jia Lian didn't say hello to the two of them. The people above stretched their arms and kicked their legs happily and yelled.

Wang Xifeng and Heping'er were taken aback, and were relieved to find out that it was Jia Lian who came back.Seeing that he smelled of alcohol, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but said angrily, "Where do you get alcohol, and you're not afraid of spoiling Miss Qiao."

Jia Lian put her daughter down with a smile, and teased her in her arms, "Sister Qiao told Daddy, it won't be smoked." Unexpectedly, Sister Qiao slapped her nose with her small hand, frowned and said, "Daddy stinks!" Jia Lian I could only put my daughter on the couch in embarrassment, touched the little twitch on her head, and smiled wryly, "You girl, you dare to laugh at Daddy now, you must have learned from your mother."

"Haha..." Wang Xifeng and Ping'er trembled wildly at the teasing of the father and daughter.

After playing with her daughter for a while, looking at the exquisite hairpin in Wang Xifeng's hand, Jia Lian couldn't help wondering, "Where did the hairpin come from?"

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and said triumphantly, "It's the dowry that Sister Lin gave to Sister Qiao." Immediately, she told Jia Lian what happened in the mansion today.

After Jia Lian heard this, she nodded happily, "Feng'er is still clever, and you have established a good relationship with Sister Lin early on, unlike some people who are still taking Joe at this time." He unbuttoned his clothes and looked at Ping The son said, "Pour me a cup of tea, I drank too much wine at noon, and I am very thirsty now."

Just as Wang Xifeng ordered the nanny to carry Qiaojie down, she immediately came to her senses when he said this, and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say that you went to the Yamen today? Why did you go to drink again?"

Seeing her disbelief, Jia Lian smiled wryly, "You mother-in-law, why are you so suspicious? I had a drink at Chunxiang Building at noon."

Wang Xifeng still wondered, "For no reason, you went to Chunxianglou to drink at noon, did you hide money?"

Jia Lian took the warm tea poured by Ping'er, drank it all in one gulp, and gave a general idea of ​​having a drink with Mu Xu and the others at noon, before getting up and leaving.

Wang Xifeng was about to ask carefully, but when he saw that he was about to leave, she quickly grabbed his sleeve, "Why did you just come back and leave?"

Jia Lian couldn't bear to talk to him, so he only said vaguely, "I'm going to see Big Brother Zhen." Afraid that she would pester her again, he added, "It's a serious matter, and the son of Prince Dongping explained it." Without waiting for Wang Xifeng to come again Asked, stepped over the threshold, and walked away in a hurry.

Wang Xifeng was so angry that he looked at his back and yelled, "What business can Brother Zhen do? When you come back at night, I'll see how I deal with you." Ping'er reminded helplessly, "Grandma, you forgot to talk to the second master about the business. "Wang Xifeng was startled when he heard this, and patted the table angrily, "It's all because of that dead man, who drank so much wine that I forgot about business." It has nothing to do with you forgetting things.

Jia Lian went out of his yard without going through the gate, and came to the small gate between the two mansions of the East Road Courtyard.Ask the gatekeeper to open the door, enter Huifang Garden of Ningguo Mansion, pass through the porch of Huifang Garden, just meet the young servant of Ning Mansion, pull him to ask where Jia Zhen is, and go directly to the Nuan Pavilion in the front yard.

As soon as we arrived at the gate of the Nuan Pavilion, we heard Jia Zhen scolding Jia Rong furiously inside. Jia Lian shook his head and thought, why does the old man in our family love to scold his son.

Before stepping in, he said loudly, "Brother Zhen, why are you so angry?"

When Jia Zhen and his son saw him coming, they all greeted him.Jia Rong had a flattering expression on her face, "Second Uncle Lian is here, please take a seat." Jia Lian nodded and asked casually, "Brother Rong, why did you provoke Brother Zhen?"

Jia Rong just shook her head bitterly and didn't speak.But I swear in my heart, can I tell you that my father wants my daughter-in-law to serve him wine, but my daughter-in-law is not willing, so he takes it out on me?

Jia Zhen pulled Jia Lian to sit down on the chair next to him, and said with a smile, "What kind of wind brought our Mr. Qian Shi here, this is rare!"

Jia Lian got up on purpose, "Why doesn't brother Zhen welcome me, so I'm leaving?" Jia Zhen hurriedly held him down, "Hey, isn't this a joke with my second brother?" Then she scolded Jia Rong angrily, "No winks things, and still order people to serve tea.”

Before Jia Lian could speak, Jia Rong ran out of the Nuan Pavilion in fright. Jia Lian had no choice but to persuade, "Brother Rong is growing up too, why should Brother Zhen do this?"

Jia Zhen said impatiently, "Whatever he is doing, I care about him, he still has an opinion."

Jia Lian had no choice but to see this. After all, they were father and son, so he didn't want to talk too much, and the two began to talk immediately.

As he talked, he talked about Jia Lian's current errand, and Jia Zhen was full of envy, "Now the second brother is well-off, embroidering clothes and guarding, starting from a third-rank official."

Jia Lian quickly waved his hands, "It's all thanks to Cousin Tuolin, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get into the eyes of the elder son."

Jia Zhen's eyes lit up, and she thought that if she had time, she would let Youshi go to the West Mansion and walk around with Lin Daiyu more, so that her relationship with Lala would be good.But he said in his mouth, "Now the second brother is in charge of such a big matter as Xiuyiwei, if there is a good thing, you can't forget Big Brother Zhen."

Jia Lian was thinking about how to talk about Zhen Shihong with Jia Zhen. Hearing what he said, he secretly thought that he was really sleepy and came to give the pillow, so he smiled, "Hey, I'm in charge of those car and horse dealers now. Could it be that Brother Zhen has Let me help deliver any urgently needed goods, and speaking of which, traveling from south to north can indeed earn a lot of money.”

Jia Zhen was overjoyed when she heard this, but after thinking about it, she found that she had nothing to ask Jia Lian to help transport, and suddenly felt that she had lost the opportunity to make a fortune, and suddenly became depressed, "I would like to rely on my second brother's blessing, But it's not like you don't know, our mansion is the same as your mansion, it's all those farms, where are those things that are in short supply."
