Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 10
"Great Xia Law" has a saying: When parents are in mourning, the mourning system is not yet over, release and obey auspiciousness, if you forget to mourn and have fun, you will be a three-year apprentice, and a year of miscellaneous opera.

For the funeral of relatives, the mourning system is not yet over, and the release of obedience is auspicious, with a hundred sticks.

Parents' funeral, the law is 27 months, and the official funeral within 25 months. If you release your clothes and seek an official position, you will be considered unfilial, and you will be married for three years.

Outside of 25 months and within 27 months, the system of 禫 has not been removed, and seeking an official position is a year of "mao mourning".

It takes a year for the parents to die and give birth to a child.

Those who marry after the death of their parents and husbands will have three years of imprisonment.

For the funeral of parents, those who are relieved of official and residential uniforms, and those who are greedy for honor and appointment, and those who lie and lie and remain puzzled by the mourning, will be in prison for two and a half years.

Listening to his son talking about his niece's experiences after coming to Beijing, Jia Amnesty broke into a cold sweat suddenly.After my younger sister Jia Min died of illness, no one in the whole family thought of mourning for her sister.

Even the niece is dressed in the old lady's fancy clothes, and the feasts are endless.This guy Zhang Huan dared to say that his family has no etiquette system, it really has no fucking etiquette system at all!
"It's over, how can I explain to my brother-in-law?"

Even if it was a cool autumn day, Jia Amnesty couldn't wipe off the sweat from his forehead.

He never cared about the affairs of the inner house, and no one in the mansion mentioned it, so Daiyu hadn't been filial to Jia Min for three years.This alone has already ruined the reputation of the niece. The family of Shili of the Lin family, the brother-in-law didn't tear himself alive after he found out?
"Father, we can't hide this matter, that servant Zhang is from my uncle's hometown..."

Jia Cong reminded in a low voice, and Jia Amnesty became even more anxious: "Then what should we do? You can't tell your uncle the truth, right? Do we want to lose face to our family?"

"How can our family have any face to speak of? This matter has already spread throughout the capital!"

As soon as Jia Cong finished speaking, he was picked up by his father and beat him up, obviously out of anger.

However, Jia She, who beat his son up, obviously calmed down. He sat in front of the table with a gloomy expression and did not speak for a long time. Finally, after a long sigh, he began to write a letter...

……

Jia Cong outside the imperial tent was crying and squatting on the ground poking the ant nest when suddenly the sun was blocked by a dark shadow.

Jia Cong looked at it with drooping eyelids, sighed and continued to poke the ant nest.

"What? I heard that your father beat you up again?"

"He was obviously out of temper and took it out on me!"

Jia Cong got up and touched his buttocks, and said aggrievedly: "Cao Dudu, why doesn't your majesty give me a higher official than my father? Then he won't be able to beat me up."

Cao Jiugong was amused by the childish words and said: "Your father is a first-class general, Jue Tongzheng is a first-rank military officer, and if you go up to the title of super-rank, you are an eight-year-old child, how can He De give you a super title?" The title of nobleman? Come on, tell me, why did your father beat you up?"

Do you really think I'm a child?Want to talk to me?
Jia Cong did not reveal anything on the surface, but he already understood in his heart that Cao Jiugong wanted to get information from him.However, he was planning to find a way to separate himself and his father Jia She from the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion, so he pretended that he didn't understand anything, and told the whole thing about the truth and the false.

"Dudu, do you think I am an innocent disaster? I am so innocent, I can't tell the truth these years? Sigh!"

Cao Jiugong didn't know how to answer Jia Cong's question, and he also felt a headache for Jia Amnesty. He didn't know whether it was Jia Enhou's luck or misfortune to have such a son.

But there is one thing he can confirm, that is Jia She, he can try to win over for the emperor.

The second room of the Rongguo Mansion was too deeply involved with Wang Ziteng, and Wang Ziteng was loyal to the Supreme Emperor. No matter whether Jia Zheng was upright, courteous or not, as long as Wang Ziteng was around, he couldn't take the risk of courting him.

On the other hand, Jia Amnesty can make a little plan!
Thinking of this, Cao Jiugong already had an idea in his mind. He bent down and wiped off the dust on Jia Cong's clothes, and said with a smile: "It's right to tell the truth, but the timing of your telling the truth is wrong. Come on, come with me." Going to see His Majesty, there is an important task to be entrusted to our little Jia Qianhu!"

……

da da da da...

The hunt at Iron Net Mountain lasted for a full ten days, and Shengjia set off for Beijing on August [-]th.

Where the holy car passed by, the road was paved with loess, and the subjects retreated. Among a group of tall horses, Jia Cong, riding a donkey and wearing a flying fish suit with a goose feather knife hanging from his waist, was the most eye-catching.

Especially after entering the city, the people in the capital are discussing who is the child of this little chubby man who pretends to be serious, and he is already a fifth-rank official of a thousand households at a young age.

"Jia Xiaosan!"

Just as Jia Cong was thinking about how to complete the task entrusted to him by the emperor, he suddenly heard the emperor calling him in the imperial chariot.

So he urged the donkey to approach the imperial chariot: "Your Majesty is calling me?"

Liu Heng raised the curtain, and said through the window: "If your father really intends to go to Jiangnan, you should tell me in advance."

Jia Cong nodded, the trip to the south of the Yangtze River was inevitable.For various reasons, as long as he stays in the capital, every action of Jia She is under the supervision of others.The only way to break the current situation is to find an opportunity to go out of Beijing and go to the south of the Yangtze River.

"Your Majesty, I have something I want to ask Your Majesty for help..."

"Say!" Liu Heng looked curiously at the troubled little Jia Cong.

Jia Cong said in a low voice: "My father plans to take Sister Lin with me after the Mid-Autumn Festival...it is my cousin to go to the south of the Yangtze River together. Sister Lin has been weak and sick since she was a child. I really don't feel relieved. I want to ask His Majesty to send an imperial doctor to accompany me..."

"Oh, I didn't expect our little Jia Qianhu to be such a caring person!"

Liu Heng thought it was some great event, but it turned out to be so.He joked, "Why, are you going to propose marriage to Lin Ruhai by the way? Would you like me to help you?"

"No, no, Your Majesty can't stain my innocence!" Jia Cong shook his head again and again, denying again and again, his flushed face was so hot that he could fry meat.

Cao Jiugong, who was on the side of the guard, also interjected, "Your Majesty is right. It would be great to get married. Jia Cong, do you want me to be a middleman and propose marriage to Lin Yushi for you?"

"You must, Cao Dudu, come and tease me too, I'm still a child!"

Jia Cong's whole body turned red when he was teased, which made the emperor and his ministers burst into laughter.But in the end, Liu Heng agreed to send an imperial doctor to Rongguo Mansion after returning to the palace to diagnose Lin Daiyu's pulse first.

After Shengjia returned to the palace, Cao Jiugong took Jia Cong out of the palace gate after arranging the defense of the Dragon Guards.Jia Cong saw his father Jia She who was guarding outside the palace from a distance, and excitedly waved his hands and shouted: "Father, father, I am here!"

Somehow Cao Jiugong thought of something, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he and Jia Cong walked towards Jia's carriage.

Cao Jiugong cupped his hands and said hello: "Brother Enhou, it's really not easy to see you at the palace gate once!"

The corner of Jia Amnesty's mouth twitched. It's not like he didn't catch something in Cao Jiugong's words.But Jia Amnesty had already practiced his face, pretending not to understand the meaning, and replied: "I'm an idle person, so naturally I'm no better than Governor Cao. This Forbidden City, it's better for me to come less often."

"But from my point of view, brother Enhou may come here more often in the future."

Cao Jiugong meant something, but he didn't continue, instead he patted Jia Cong's head and said with a smile, "Brother Enhou, remember to buy me a drink. Your kid has always caused me trouble."

This time, Jia Amnesty bowed to Cao Jiugong very solemnly, and sincerely thanked him: "It's only natural. Brother Cao, please don't dislike the wine at home."

"Haha...Brother Enhou was joking, how could the wine in Rongguo Mansion be dirty wine?"

Cao Jiugong laughed a few times, causing people around to look over curiously, including Wang Ziteng who had just left the palace.

Cao Jiugong glanced around, with a flash of contempt in his eyes, he cupped his hands and bid farewell to Jia She: "Brother Enhou Haihan, I still have to go to the Governor's Mansion, so I'll go first."

"Brother Cao, let's get busy and say goodbye!"

"Doo slow go!"

Jia Cong also cupped his hands, and the father and son watched Cao Jiugong leave.

Just as Jia Cong was carried into the carriage by Jia She, someone beside him asked inquiringly: "Brother Enhou and Cao Dudu are very familiar?"
