Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 251 Abducting the old man out of the palace

Because Yuan Chun was at home, the lunch was served in the front hall of Rongxi Hall as usual, but the old lady was surprised that the cook Xiao Xichun and the little princess Chun'er hadn't come yet after the meal time.

"Yuanyang, go find these two little girls..."

The emperor made an exception to let the little princess come to his house as a guest, but he must not make people starve and thin.

Yuanchun and Yingchun are playing chess for fun, while Daiyu meets Tanchun and Xiangyun, discussing something in a low voice, and the word "gift" is faintly heard.

The old lady likes this kind of atmosphere very much, she likes the little girls playing around their knees, and she is also willing to chatter and make people headache sometimes.

"Yu'er, what gift?"

Daiyu took a peek at Yuan Chun, who was concentrating on playing chess by the window, trotted up to the old lady, and whispered in her ear, "Sister San and Sister Yun, I'm thinking about giving the children of Big Sister and Sister Feng Prepare presents."

The old lady smiled when she heard the words, she held Daiyu in her arms, and the grandparent and grandson whispered to each other and bit their ears.

After a while, Daiyu's eyes lit up, and she ran to the two younger sisters and continued to meet each other and mutter...

About two quarters of an hour, Mrs. Xing, Baoyu, Jia Huan, Li Wan's mother and son had all come and waited for a while before Yuanyang brought the three cats to Rongxi Hall.

puff...

Everyone looked at the colorful faces of Jia Cong and the three, and couldn't hold back their laughter for a while, even the old lady was amused by the appearance of the three.

The three of them still held a few skewers of roasted sparrows in their hands, and handed them to the old lady like a treasure in spring: "My ancestors, try it, the third brother's roast is delicious."

It took more than an hour to praise the winter, and Jia Cong, who had moved around, caught many sparrows, and everyone in Rongxi Hall had a bunch of sparrows left.

Although roasted sparrows are not a big show, Jia Cong's barbecue skills are excellent. Even Yuan Chun, who is pregnant, feels his appetite greatly increased after tasting it.

There is no animal protection law in this meeting, and sparrows are still one of the four pests.Except for catching a few sparrows at the beginning, and the two little girls said a few innocent words about how can sparrows be so cute that they can eat sparrows, under the attack of the smell of meat, they didn't persist for more than ten breaths.

Click, click, click...

Don't look at the three of Jia Cong who have already eaten a lot of barbecue, and after sitting at the dinner table, they still turned into gluttons and ate their stomachs round.

The time for lunch is cheerful, and the joy and ease of the back house is actually due to the hard work of the men of the Jia family.

Grand Master She was fined to guard the palace gate for half a month. Jia Cong took the food box and drove to the imperial city. Before getting out of the car, he heard the noise outside.

Lifting the curtain and seeing that there was a large circle of civil and military officials in front of the palace gate, Jia Cong was a little curious. Could it be that this group of officials didn't bring their official certificates and was stopped by their father?
He jumped out of the carriage and trotted over in three steps at a time...

hiss!At this time, Grand Master Xi held the long knife in his arms, and said plausibly: "The big fellows have also seen it, it's not that Benbo is unaccommodating, the great grandfather made a rule when he was here, and he is not allowed to enter or leave the imperial city unless necessary. .Our King Qi County is fine, coming in and out, when the imperial city is opened by your family?"

The one who was stopped outside the imperial city was none other than Qi Wenhua, Prince of Xining County.

Qi Wenhua's eyes were about to breathe fire, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "This king said it, this king just went out for lunch!"

"Grandpa Taizu has long established a rule that officials in various temples in the imperial city will be provided with meals in the palace. Does King Qi dislike the bad food in the palace or do he not like royal gifts?"

In terms of wearing a hat, Liu Ke is definitely a top-notch old prince, who choked Qi Wenhua speechless with a single sentence.

The civil and military officials who were standing beside Qi Wenhua took a step back one after another, staring at their noses and mouths.

Master She and Lao Shisan had definitely negotiated a good agreement. They found out the rules of a hundred years ago from nowhere.

Not to mention anything else, I don't know how many of the various rules established by the great grandfather were thrown into the garbage dump.

And regarding the explanation of this rule, just the three words of whether it is necessary or not, the initiative is not up to the two of them?
For example, now, Jia Cong asked someone to bring the food box, set up the small table and small bench, put the copper pot on a low fire, and it would be steaming hot after a while, and the aroma directly made the soldiers of the Forbidden Army at the top of the city swallow their saliva.

Moreover, Jia Cong specially warmed up a pot of good wine, and when everything was ready, he greeted the two of them: "Father, Lord Thirteen, the meal is ready, hurry up and eat while it's hot!"

"Oh, dear son, you still love Dad!"

The disdain on Qi Wenhua's face on Master She's face was suddenly replaced by happiness, and after responding to Jia Cong, he provocatively said: "King Qi County, you can go in after paying the fine, if you don't pay, you can obediently accompany Ben Bo keep the gate."

"Uh, father, is the great grandfather still fined money?"

Jia Cong asked in a low voice. In his impression, Grandpa Taizu was a very disciplined person, either spanking or whipping. Such a mild punishment like fined silver is probably impossible.

Sure enough, Elder Xi chuckled: "What is the identity of the Duke of Qi? Your father and I don't have the guts to blame the Duke of Qi, so we can only fine you a small amount of money. 1000 taels of silver is nothing more than a drizzle for the Xining Palace. .Of course, if Duke Qi is not willing to pay the money, he can do it, so he can guard the gate of the palace. It will only take half a month, and it will be soon."

Jia Cong's hand pouring the wine couldn't help but tremble, looking at the old man and Liu Ke who were sneering, he couldn't help taking a deep breath.

The two of them ignored Qi Wenhua and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs who violated this rule, and started discussing what they had gained in just two hours.

There are no less than 20 officials who have paid the fine, ranging from dozens of taels to hundreds, and they already have more than 1000 taels of silver in their hands.

Good guy, do you two treat goalkeeping as a business for money?

Qi Wenhua wished he could rush up and strangle Jia Amnesty and the two of them to death, but unfortunately, he still had important matters to do when he entered the imperial city today. The damn water-soluble leader led the troops from the Xining Palace to go south, and he had to go to the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion to deal with this terrible matter.

But I feel ashamed to pay the fine... Damn Jia She, he must be deliberately embarrassing the king!

1000 taels, why don't you grab it?
He stared at Jia Amnesty and Liu Ke, who were sitting on the small bench, eating and drinking. His dark eyes could kill.

"Jia Amnesty, if the king does not eat the food given by the palace, he will not be favored by the emperor, so what are you doing at this time?"

Master She sneered, picked up a piece of mutton in the pot with his chopsticks, and looked at Qi Wenhua with the eyes of a fool: "Is this rice? This is the filial piety of my good son. The country governs the world with filial piety. Could it be that Uncle Ben Do you want to violate the rules of the country?"

Am I him...

Qi Wenhua felt the temples of his temples twitching, resisting the urge to kill the old man with a knife, and asked his servants to go back to get the silver.

Jia Cong asked Jia Shixi to wait in front of the palace gate, bid farewell to Mr. Xi who was still showing off his baby, and ran into the palace gate as if fleeing.

I ran all the way to the imperial hospital, got advice from an old imperial doctor who is proficient in obstetrics and gynecology, and got the addresses of two famous doctors in Beijing.

After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and turned to the Dragon Head Palace.

The sage old man turned into an old child, and after several days of tantrums with the emperor, he finally got his son's consent to go out of the palace to play.

After seeing the half-scratched head exposed at the porch of the Emperor Palace, he snorted coldly: "You still know to come to see me? I thought you, you little bastard, had forgotten me!"

Hey, this old Tsundere...

The old man felt that the Dragon Head Palace was deserted these few days, his children and grandchildren did not dare to come, and the big cats ran away with their tails between their legs.

Jia Cong got bolder, and leaned into the old man's ear and whispered, "I'm here to pick you up to play, my home has been built, and you didn't go around..."

Dai Quan's ears moved and his hairs stood on end.

Good guy, this kid is getting more and more courageous, he abducted the big cat and the little princess, now even the old man wants to abduct the palace?

He hastened to advise: "A saint must not..."

"There's nothing wrong with that. Back then, I often went to Daishan's family."

The old man was obviously moved. He had nestled in this palm-sized place for too long. After the last stroke, he hadn't been out of the palace for several months.

Jia Cong grinned at Dai Quan and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Dai, my house is very safe because not even a strange fly can fly in. Tonight I plan to have a barbecue feast, and the sage must try it."

"I just know how to scratch my mouth..."

The more he talked, the more interesting it became. The old man's thoughts turned into actions. When the emperor heard the news and rushed over, there were only maids and servants with bitter faces left in Longshou Palace.

"My lord, the saint left a letter."

Xia Shouzhong just glanced at the lonely paper on the table and couldn't laugh or cry. The emperor took a look and almost couldn't help cursing.

"Fourth, your father and I will go out to relax and come back before hunting in a few days!"

……

Jia Cong had no psychological burden at all to abduct the sage master out of the palace.

As for the sage who directly did the big ticket, it has nothing to do with him, right?

The carriage creaked and creaked forward, and Jia Shixi, who was in charge of guarding the car, had already noticed several shadowy figures following him.

Habayashiro's hidden guards dutifully protected the old man Chugongnami, as long as he didn't disclose the news in advance, there was no need to worry about the safety of the holy car, unless a comet hit the earth, how could there be so many assassinations.

The gatekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion is still Gossip King Ergouzi. He has been guarding the gate with his father since he was a child. When he saw his third master helping an old man get off the carriage, he knelt down with a plop.

"Holy, holy, holy..."

"Farewell, the old man came to our house for a few days to relax, keep his mouth shut, and don't let it go out, or you will let go of marrying a daughter-in-law!"

After Jia Cong finished speaking, Er Gouzi seemed to have received a major task. After kowtowing to the old man, he got up from the ground, straightened his chest, and stared closely at his surroundings like eagle eyes.

The old man was wearing an ordinary but not ordinary official uniform, and with the support of Jia Cong and Dai Quan, he stepped into the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

He looked at the surrounding scenery, feeling quite emotional: "I haven't been here for several years, the changes have been great, but there is still a sense of familiarity, especially the person who just guarded the gate, quite familiar."

"Er Gouzi, you should know his father, old Gouzi. I once heard him bragging, saying that when he conquered Mobei, he dug out a half-moon wolf's den and a rabbit hole for you..."

The old man stopped abruptly, and asked angrily: "The son of the old dog? Didn't I ask your grandfather to remove the old dog's slave status? Why is his son still working as a gatekeeper?"

The old dog's words are really not bragging, when he accompanied Jia Daishan to conquer Mobei, when he encountered a snowstorm that year, food and grass were scarce, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Shengjia could not eat meat.

The old dog was born as an Orion. He dug wolf dens and wild rabbit holes for half a month, and sent broth to the saint every day.

For this reason, he lost one eye and one ear, and the sage gave him an official position and refused to accept it.

Later, the sage told Jia Daishan to get rid of the old dog's slave status, and gave him a lot of money to make him a rich man...

"Er Gouzi is my family's retainer. The old dog enjoys the treatment of enshrining, and he is living a chic life."

Jia Cong's answer made the sage's anger fade away. How can ordinary people be as fragrant as the retainers of Rongguo Mansion?
The old dog became a retainer, supported by the Jia family when he was born, and entered the ancestral hall of the Jia family when he died.

On the surface, Er Gouzi is the gatekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion, but the Rongguo Mansion has to worry about marrying a wife. This kind of treatment is something that even the wealthy rural landowners dare not think about.

Speaking of the old dog, the old man couldn't help but sigh with emotion about the old people and the old things. While revisiting the old place, he told Jia Cong the story of leading his old brothers to conquer Mobei three times.

The horseshoe disease caused by the smog in the desert, the general has no regrets in spilling blood.

Listening to the old man's seemingly plain narration, Jia Cong couldn't help being fascinated: "It's a pity that I can't go to the Tatar Khan's tent with you, otherwise I must let the Tatar Khan dance a few more dances for you!"

The old man was amused and said, "Look at the meaning of that vulgar fat man dancing, I prefer to build more Beijing temples on the grassland!"

The murderous words uttered from the mouth of the gray-haired old sage made Jia Cong stand in awe of the old man's might again.

This Emperor Wu had many shortcomings, but he devoted most of his life to the great cause of conquering the grasslands in the north, which made the grassland tartars dare not go south for decades.

Even if he has suffered a stroke and has bad behavior, the heroism in his heart has not been halved, mighty!
Jia Shishi had already gone to Rongxi Hall to report the news, and the old lady was shocked, and gathered all the people in the house together to greet her in the front yard.

However, the old man was fairly familiar with the Rongguo Mansion, and he had already arrived at the gate of the Rongxi Hall while he was speaking, and happened to run into Mother Jia and the others.

"The ministers and their children and grandchildren pay homage to the saint, long live, long live, long live!"

Jiamu was in front, and Mrs. Xing, Sichun, Daiyu, Xiangyun and the little princess followed behind to perform the Wanfu ceremony.

The old man felt a lot refreshed after leaving the palace. Seeing the old acquaintance, he waved his hands cheerfully and said with a smile: "Sisters and brothers, hurry up, don't be too polite."

The sound of siblings brought Jia Mu's memory back to a few years ago, when Jia Daishan was still there, and the sage often ate and drank in Rongguo Mansion.

Whenever I get a headache from being quarreled by the women in the harem, I will come to Rongguo Mansion to relax.

"It's all Brother Cong's fault, and I didn't know to tell my wife in advance that I have neglected the saint."

A cry of siblings made Jia's mother radiant. With the support of Mrs. Xing, she got up, welcomed the old man into Rongxi Hall, and walked straight to the front hall to sit down.

After the old man sat in the first place, he looked at the furnishings in the hall, and said with a smile: "My younger brother and sister still like shiny things. Back in the day, Xiaoshan used to fight with me for these things. Hey, this screen embroidered with gold silk , or he won me back by getting drunk..."

There are so many royal gifts in Rongxi Hall, many of which were lost to Jia Daishan by the old man in a bet.

The old man had a good memory, and he pointed out the sources of several things in a row, which surprised the little girls in the room.

"Sit, sit..."

The sage looked at the little girls in the room, and sighed to Jia Mu: "You still live comfortably, with your children and grandchildren around your knees, unlike me, who stays alone in that cold Huangji Hall."

This resentful expression, if Jia Cong hadn't seen the old man's chicness with his own eyes, he would have believed it.

He pursed his lips and answered: "Old man, His Majesty and Fourth Brother couldn't help crying when they heard this..."
