Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 243
In the past dynasties, there are really not many crown princes who can successfully succeed to the throne, especially after witnessing the grief of the former crown prince and the Yizhong old prince, Liu Hong felt inexplicably afraid of the upcoming grand crown prince ceremony.

The imperial grandfather is not wise enough?Uncle is not loyal enough?Back then, the father was kind and the son was filial, which is a good story through the ages, but who would have thought that at the end of Zhaowu's 49th year, there would be bloodshed at the palace gate.

Having personally experienced that period of tragedy, Liu Hong was more vigilant than anyone else, even a little too vigilant.

Jia Cong told the whole story of the inner feelings, but Liu Hong was still a little uneasy.

"Brother Cong, I don't want it anymore, anyway, I'm not in a hurry at this moment..."

Jia Cong rolled his eyes, good guy, are you scared?

Others are afraid of being jealous by their own father, but you are afraid of a ball!

The heir chosen by two generations of emperors, no one in the world is more secure than your crown prince.

And why did the emperor choose officials and ministers for his son early? It was because he suffered this loss and felt sorry for his son.

Forget it, this is a disease, and it needs to be cured, and the emperor himself will do it himself.

Jia Cong explained and analyzed again, Liu Hong felt a little relieved anyway, and the two skipped this topic with a tacit understanding, and chatted about the New Deal.

Young people, full of drive, the two chatted from official administration to taxation, and then from taxation to expanding territories.

The two raided around the unfolded map, and directly inserted the flag of Daxia into the hinterland of Tianzhu.

"Gollum, Gollum..."

"Snoring, snorting..."

Huh?Why do I snore when I'm hungry?

Jia Cong looked at the source of the snoring, and saw that the two little girls who were playing on the blanket were sleeping soundly in the arms of the big cat.

The fluffy and warm big cat provided the best sleeping place, and the two little girls snuggled up to each other, sleeping soundly.

Liu Hong sighed softly: "Chun'er doesn't even have a playmate in the palace, and today I saw the real joy on her face."

"The palace is well-clothed and well-fed, but it's like a huge prison. Even a saint doesn't like to stay in the Forbidden City, let alone a little girl."

Jia Cong had no intention of avoiding it, and sighed: "Fourth brother, if you are upset, come and play with me. After being locked in the palace for a long time, the door of my heart will slowly close. Daoist, don't really become a loner."

"Your words are similar to what the father said..."

Liu Hong put his hand on Jia Cong's shoulders. The age difference between the two was more than six years, but they shared an unexplainable similarity.

He smiled and said: "Father always envied the grandfather to have friends like Dai Shangong, and uncle had friends like Jinggong and Shegong, and he, except for Xia Daban, who could really talk to each other, searched all over the court but found nothing. not a single one."

The current emperor succeeded to the throne hastily, and has never received an orthodox prince education, let alone a loyal minister and close friend.

He has been imitating, imitating his father, imitating his elder brother, until the beginning of this year, he really walked out of his own path.

I have to say that the emperor is very good, but at the same time very sad.When he was a prince back then, he could still eat meat and drink with his friends from time to time. After he ascended the throne, he really became a widow.

"Fourth brother, that's why His Majesty is in a hurry to find more like-minded ministers of the East Palace for you. He is worried that you will follow his old path and fall into the same situation."

Liu Hong couldn't help smiling wryly: "Why are you bringing this up again? It's alright, it's noon, won't you treat me to dinner? My stomach is growling from hunger."

"Suck, suck..."

Suddenly there was the sound of saliva sucking, and then Xichun's soft and sticky voice: "Eat, eat, third brother, I'm hungry!"

The little princess nestled next to Xichun was also wiping the non-existent saliva, babbling: "Eat, eat, third brother, I'm hungry!"

……

With the arrival of the future crown prince, the Rongguo Mansion will naturally flourish.

Rongxi Hall had already arranged the kitchen to prepare the banquet, and the old lady personally sent a maid, Yuanyang, to keep an eye on them all the time, and asked people to come to Dongkua courtyard to wait early.

Liu Hong raised his forehead and said: "I should go to see Mrs. Tai first, it's too impolite."

Jia Cong didn't refuse either. The royal family has always been kind to the Jia family, and the old lady is the widow of a close friend of a saint. According to folklore, the old lady is the elder of Liu Hongzheng's son, or the grandmother's generation.

He asked the servant girl to report to Rongxi Hall in advance, and he accompanied Liu Hong to walk slowly to Rongxi Hall.

The two little girls followed behind arm in arm, and the big cat had two little meows on its head, flicking its tail as guards.

When they came to Rongxi Hall, the old lady was already waiting at the door with Mrs. Xing's support, and Baoyu, Jia Lan, and Jia Huan were standing beside her.

"The old body (the minister's wife) pays homage to the Fourth Highness!"

"Chen (Xiaomin) greets the Fourth Highness!"

Liu Hong hurriedly went up to greet her, and helped the old lady get up personally: "Mrs. Tai really upset me. You are an elder. If you salute me, then the emperor's grandfather should scold me again."

The dignified prince, the future crown prince is so courteous and virtuous as a corporal, he has given the old lady all the face, and made her feel very ironic.

Jia Daishan's Yu Yin is really like a towering tree, which directly makes two generations, no, it should be said that three generations of emperors have been gracious to Jia's family.

"Madam please get up, brother Cong, quickly help your mother up."

"Brother Baoyu, we meet again. I heard that you have written some good poems recently. Father Huang once told me that brothers Baoyu are talented in poetry. It is impossible to say that they will become a generation of masters in the future. I will hold a poetry meeting some other day. You must Come."

"This is... so he is the son of Zheng Gong, Jia Huan, right? Old lady, you really know how to teach your children and grandchildren. Brother Guan Huan has calluses in his palms, but he has practiced martial arts? He is worthy of the sons and grandchildren of the Rongguo Mansion. How old is he? Beat your body, practice martial arts and practice cocoons."

"This is Lan Geer from Big Brother Zhu's family. Sure enough, he is beautiful. I came in a hurry today, and I didn't bring any gifts. When I go back, I will go to the Hanlin Academy and find more orphaned books for Lan Geer. I heard that Come on, Brother Lang is as intelligent as Big Brother Zhu, so you must not let him down."

Liu Hong deserves to be taught by two generations of emperors, and his words and deeds make people feel like spring breeze.

Every sentence is inseparable from praise, and the voice is one of his own.

Not only did they avoid everyone's shortcomings, but they also highlighted everyone's advantages, which made the old lady blush with excitement.

Jia Cong glanced at his poor little nephew and observed thirty breaths of silence for him.The poor little nephew doesn't know yet, but because the little baby is smart and well-behaved, he will inexplicably receive a lot of "test papers" in the future.

Liu Hong has reached the age of marriage, and the old lady didn't think about pushing the girls in the mansion forward, so naturally she wouldn't be rude to let the girls in the back hall come out.

Welcoming Liu Hong into the Rongxi Hall, we chatted for less than a cup of tea, and followed the future prince's wishes, accompanied by Jia Cong to Dongkua Courtyard for dinner.

Of course, Baoyu and Jia Huan followed.

As for the little princess, she stayed behind. The new little sisters were inseparable, and they both stayed in Rongxi Hall to play and eat with a group of young ladies.

How happy you are when you play, how miserable you cry when you part.During lunch time, the embarrassing Taishanghuang suddenly felt that the Longshou Palace was deserted, and only then realized that his eldest grandson was missing.

After the deadline, the emperor who was scolded again sent someone to call his son back to the palace. The little princess hugged Xichun and cried loudly, making Liu Hong dumbfounded.

After finally coaxing him to come back tomorrow, he tricked the little sister back into the carriage.

Everyone in the Rongguo Mansion sent the royal siblings away, but Jia Cong didn't feel it yet, and the old lady let out a long sigh of relief.

The future prince is also a prince. Today, the family is in chaos, and there are busy people everywhere. She is really afraid that something wrong in the house will make Liu Hong feel unhappy.

Xichun has been a young lady for a day today, looking at the carriage going away, she is full of regrets.

She tugged at Jia Cong's sleeve: "Third Brother, will Sister Chun'er really come tomorrow? Will she come back with Big Sister? Will she also stay at home for a few days?"

The corner of Jia Cong's mouth twitched, what joke?Tomorrow Yuanchun will go back to visit relatives, and the emperor will only stuff the little girl into the phoenix car of visiting relatives when he is mad.

……

On the sixth day of October, at the first quarter of Mao, the sky was slightly bright, and Ningrong Street was already full of people.

"Everything has been cleaned up, whoever dares to be lazy today will throw them all in front of the army to eat sand!"

"The colored lantern on the left is crooked, hang it upright for me, our mother-in-law must be perfect when she returns home to visit her relatives!"

"Brothers of the imperial army, come, let's eat first. The mansion has prepared hot mutton soup. Feel free to eat it. On our Ningrong Street, let alone thieves, not even a fly can fly in!"

Since the two Elders pulled out the scourge of the Lai family, the chief steward of the Rongguo Mansion was replaced by the Elder Pardon and Jia San, a personal soldier.

Even though this one is missing a hand, the housekeeper hasn't made a single mistake so far, and he manages the servants with the military rules. Even the old lady can't help but praise that Jia San is the most suitable housekeeper at the moment. .

The servants brought the buckets of hot mutton soup directly to the street. The pancakes made of white flour were soaked in the mutton soup and served in a large bowl. I swallowed my saliva.

"Eat, with Bember here, no one dares to say that you have broken the rules."

Grand Master She has a python robe and a jade belt, and even his beard is neatly combed.He personally handed a bowl of mutton soup to the captain of the Imperial Army who refused, with an attitude of not being able to refuse.

The captain of the imperial army took the big bowl with both hands, smiling all over his face: "The deputy commander still loves our brothers. The brothers went to guard the Zhen family a few days ago, but they were hungry for a whole day. Brothers, don't thank the deputy commander. !"

This team of 200 imperial guards bowed their hands gratefully: "Thank you, deputy commander!"

Shouting loudly, Jia She raised the corners of his mouth, waved his hands and said, "Okay, okay, since you know that Uncle Ben is your deputy commander, why are you being polite? Eat quickly, if you don't have enough, just say it. I will give all the lunch to my mansion." Sitting and eating inside, no thief dares to act presumptuously in Ningrong and Rongfu!"

Master She, who is in charge of most of the Beijing camp, is so domineering that he doesn't care about the officials of the Ministry of Rites who frown and want to refute.

The guards of Ningrong and Rongfu had lined up a few days ago, and they were all thrown out today, not to mention Ningrong Street, even Yongfang was cleaned up for most of the time.

As soon as the hour came, bright red firecrackers were spread all the way from the corner of Ningrong Street to the entrance of Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Baoyu, as a large Fuwa in Rongguo Mansion, was dressed in red brocade clothes, a gold crown on her head, and a jade belt around her waist. She and Jia Huan guarded the gate of Dashi Yongfang.

"Baoyu, we're here to help!"

Feng Ziying, Liu Xianglian, and Wei Ruolan, as Baoyu's good brothers, did not come to be guests today, they all dressed in rich clothes and brocade clothes, got off their own carriages, and stood directly beside Baoyu.

Feng Tang looked at the muttering boys who met with a smile, and said to the lady in the carriage: "Let's go in first, and let these children go to work on their own."

"Second Master Bao, Feng will be here at the end of the day, and now the empress has already gone to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to meet the Empress Dowager!"

The leading officer is Ning Mian, the eunuch of Fengzao Palace, whom Baoyu also knows.

Ning Mian greeted her as soon as she got off her horse, and bowed to the young masters: "Your Majesty, let the servants come over first and go to the garden to make arrangements. Fengjia will stay in the garden for five days, and the servants have brought a lot of their own people... "

"Eunuch Ning, let's make arrangements. Eunuch Chen will be in the garden right now, just go find him."

Jia Cong had already arranged things in front of the mansion, and came out to check the arrangements in front of the workshop, and happened to run into Ning Mian.

Ning Mian hurriedly bowed down and said: "My maidservant greets the third master, and my maidservant will take someone to find Eunuch Chen."

Jia Cong glanced around at the side of the carriage and nodded.

When the group of people passed by him, Ning Mian suddenly leaned into Jia Cong's ear, and said in a very soft voice: "Third Master, it is very likely that the holy car will stop in the garden tonight, and the empress asked the younger one to tell the third master One sound."

It's really worrying, the emperor will really bring trouble to the Jia family.

Jia Cong nodded slightly, and Ning Mian bowed and retreated.

He cupped his hands at Feng Ziying and the others and said, "Brother Feng, Brother Liu, and Brother Wei, since the three brothers are here, I'll go back and arrange things at home..."

"Brother Cong, don't worry, leave this place to us." Feng Ziying embraced everything, patting his chest as a guarantee.

When Jia Cong left, Feng Ziying looked at his back in amazement: "Brother Cong is really a role model for us, look at that eunuch just now, seeing Brother Cong is as respectful as meeting the prince and grandson."

"Ziying speak carefully!"

Liu Xianglian is the most mature among the few people who are well-versed in human feelings, and reminded with a frown: "There are too many people today, so don't provoke Cong Geer to criticize."

"What the second brother said is true, the younger brother will remember."

Although Feng Ziying didn't say anything, Liu Xianglian and Wei Ruolan agreed with his evaluation in their hearts.

Is it true that Brother Cong is a saint or the illegitimate son of His Majesty, as the rumors say?

……

Pop, pop, pop!

Three whips sounded, and Feng drove out of Daxia Gate to the south.

The canopy of the carriage is gilded, and five golden phoenixes are attached to it, piercing through the East Pearl, which is extremely luxurious.At three o'clock in the morning, they leave the palace gate, the car drives slowly, and the dragon guards wear flying fish suits and ceremonial knives on their waists as the lead, followed by the maid and the servants.

Zhengyang Street was full of spectators, and the capital would never be short of melon-eating crowds, who bowed down one after another as the phoenix drove forward.

"Mother and concubine, are you coming soon?"

Yuan Chun was not the only one in the carriage, the little princess Liu Chun was guarding outside Fengzao Palace early this morning, waiting eagerly for Yuan Chun to go out.

As soon as the emperor went out, his little daughter hugged his thigh, and his big eyes flashed...

When the emperor listened to the little daughter's request in a daze, he wanted to rush to his son's room and beat the restless son on the spot.

He just said a word of refusal, and immediately the devil's voice pierced his ears.After Yuan Chun came out, the little girl threw herself into her arms and sobbed, saying that she had made an appointment with Miss Xichun to meet today.

At the end of the quarrel, the Emperor's head was buzzing because of the noise. He looked at Yuan Chun, who was glowing with maternal brilliance, and his brain twitched...

Coaxing children is so troublesome!Then... to push the trouble to others, cool!

The emperor was refreshed and went to deal with the affairs of state. Yuan Chun had to ask the empress dowager first, and then the imperial concubine.

After a set of procedures, there is an extra villain on the carriage.

Yuan Chun stroked his slightly swollen belly, wiped the crumbs of snacks from the corner of Liu Chun's mouth with a handkerchief, and said softly, "Chun'er, wait a little longer, it will be here in a while."

"Then can Chun'er sleep with Sister Xi tonight?"

elder sister?

Yuan Chun glanced at Liu Chun strangely, secretly calculating in his heart...

Forget it, this generation has long been messed up, so call it whatever you like.

Crackling, crackling!
At the end of the hour, Fengjia had already arrived in front of the gate of Dashi Yongfang, festive firecracker debris covered the wide street, Jia Baoyu and others went forward.

"The minister (Xiaomin) pays respects to the empress Qiansui, and welcomes the empress back to the family to visit her relatives!"

"Welcome your mother back home to visit your family!"

Not only Baoyu and others, but also the servants of Jia's family and the people watching the excitement all shouted.

A corner of the curtain of Yuanchun's carriage was lifted, and after only one glance at the familiar door, he couldn't help but shed tears.

After being away from home for several years, today I have the opportunity to come back to have a look. Only Yuan Chun knows the bitterness of it.

"Get off!"

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
General Dahan slammed his horsewhip, and Baoyu and others led the way. Feng Jia moved forward slowly again, and entered in a file at the gate of the square, cheering all the way.

This time, the Jia family took out real money, and they must enhance the atmosphere to the extreme.All members of Jia's family in Jingbafang were mobilized and lined up from Fangmen to Ningrong Street.

The trees on both sides of Ningrong Street were covered with lanterns and red silk, and the joyful atmosphere made everyone's fatigue disappear without a trace.

With the sound of firecrackers, the old lady suddenly said: "I'm back!"

On the left, headed by Jia Jing, Jia Amnesty, Jia Jing, Jia Dairu and other elders and male heirs of the Jia family lined up in two lines. Mrs. Fang and the girls of the Jia family gathered together.

Even Mrs. Wang, who had not been out of the Buddhist hall for a long time, put on her official clothes today and stood behind Jiamu.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were sweating profusely, constantly correcting everyone's standing posture until the mighty Han general appeared at the intersection of Ningrong Street.

"Feng Jia returns to the province, and everyone welcomes him!"

Crackling, crackling...

Two strings of firecrackers hung on the gate of Rongguo Mansion were lit, and Yuan Chun's carriage stopped in front of the old lady and the others.

"Minister Jia Jing, bring the Jia family to welcome your mother back to the province!"

"Welcome to your mother's return to the province!"

Everyone bowed down in unison, Yuan Chun raised the curtain, covered his mouth and cried.

The firecrackers exploded, and Yuan Chun looked at the relatives in front of him bewilderedly, unable to speak for a long time.

"Grandmother, Uncle Jing, Uncle, Father... Hurry up, please!"

"After a few years of separation, Bengong finally returned home today!"
