Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 265 Double Happiness Comes, Zhongshan Wolf Arrives.

Morning bells and evening drums, in the early morning of the first day of winter, Ningrong Street is more deserted than in the past.

Since the third year of Yuanyou, the temperature in the northern provinces has been low. Since the beginning of winter, there have been two consecutive heavy snowfalls in the capital.

After several days of sunny days, the morning sun on the first day of the junior high school did not appear for a long time. Ergou, a disciple of Rongguo Mansion, rubbed his hands and said to Ni Er, a prodigal son who passed by the gate of the mansion: "I am afraid it will snow in this weather. I don't know if my uncle and third master can come back today."

Ni Er raised his head to look at the sky and opened up the chatterbox.

"I heard from the housekeeper of the Zhongshun Palace that this time is not only a routine hunting, but the imperial court has spent a lot of money and is going to have a vigorous contest. The vassals of Oala, Tatar, Goryeo, Wa, etc., or the king of Khan Envoys, or the princes of the country, will have a lot of people coming. According to the time, it will take at least another day or two."

"Oh, then I have to report to the old lady, prepare warm things in advance and send them to Iron Net Mountain."

Crackling... Clang!

Er Gouzi slapped his thigh and was about to enter the door to report, but he heard the sound of horseshoes and gongs coming from the street.

A team of big Han generals, with their brightly polished armor, guarded a horse-riding official in the scarlet robe of the Ministry of Rites.

The leading captain first came to the gate of Rongguo Mansion, got off his horse and clasped his fists: "Hurry up and report to Mrs. Rongguo and Zhenggong, the imperial edict has arrived!"

what?
Er Gouzi was still a little confused, and asked subconsciously: "General, what imperial decree?"

The school captain cupped his hands in the northwest direction: "Your Majesty's will, She has made great contributions to the country, and he was granted the honor of Fengtian Yiyun to promote the sincerity and power of the military minister Rong Guohou, and the third generation of Xijue came down..."

"Ouch!"

Er Gouzi almost lost his footing, Grandpa Tian, ​​my Jia family is about to prosper!

With a bang, Er Gouzi rushed towards the door in a hurry, hitting his head on the porch without even caring to rub it.

It so happened that Jia Zheng planned to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to find some information about Zhejiang, and when he arrived in the front yard, he saw Er Gouzi who was overjoyed.

Jia Zheng always respected the rules, and was about to reprimand: "Second..."

Er Gou ran to Jia Zheng, took a breath and shouted: "Second Master, great joy, the Eldest Master has been granted the Marquis!"

……

The incense table was set up, and all the people at home, old and young, knelt in front of the incense table.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites opened the imperial decree of the seven-colored dragon-patterned jade scroll, and proclaimed loudly: "The imperial edict said: I heard that Wen Anbang and Wu Dingguo are the most important in military equipment. With the prestige of a powerful army, the divine soldiers have made great achievements. How could I not reward them? I ordered the Qing to be Fengtian Yiyun to promote the sincerity and power of the military minister Rong Guohou. Guozijian, bestow a thousand taels of gold... It is advisable to order a minister to choose a day, prepare a book of ceremonies, and the master will implement it, on October 29 in the fifth year of Yuanyou."

After returning to Rongxi Hall and sitting for a while, the old lady still hadn't recovered.

She stared at the two imperial decrees placed on the gilded tray, dazed.

"Boss is a Marquis..."

"Yes, mother..."

Mr. Zheng was also confused, he couldn't help feeling envious, but he was more happy.Because the imperial decree still has the matter of concealment, at present only Jia Huan and Jialan have no official positions in Rongguo Mansion, so this is coming?

The old lady had all sorts of feelings in her heart and muttered to herself: "Enhou, Enhou, the sage finally bestowed the present promise..."

dong dong dong...

"Old ancestor, Lin Momo next to Aunt Jinse came to report, Aunt Jinse is afraid that she is about to give birth!"

Whoa!

Not only the old lady, but also Jia Zheng got up in shock.

Calculated according to the time, Jinse's delivery should be about ten days away, but she didn't want to start it at this time.

The old lady hurriedly said to Jia Zheng: "Take my post and go to the imperial hospital as soon as possible, and invite the imperial doctor to come."

"Mandarin duck, mandarin duck..."

The old lady didn't really like Jinse, the aunt of the Lin family, but she also knew what the fetus in Jinse's womb represented.

She calmed down, called Yuanyang to come over and said: "Go and talk to Jia San who is staying behind in the front yard, and ask him to arrange for someone to leave for Iron Net Mountain immediately, and tell the boss and Miss Lin about this."

Xu is that Jinse lived comfortably in Rongguo Mansion, and the Lin family and the old lady sent people to take care of her with care. As soon as the imperial doctor entered the gate of Rongguo Mansion, someone came to report that it was five o'clock on the first day of winter in the fifth year of Yuanyou. At this moment, the Lin family has a queen.

……

From the first day of the first month of winter, it began to snow in Gyeonggi.

Fortunately, the snow was not heavy, and at the beginning of the third day of the winter month, Shengjia returned to Beijing.Iron Net Mountain finally regained its calm after being noisy for seven whole days.

Jia Amnesty wanted to listen to the order in front of the imperial court, and Master She, who received an urgent letter from home, asked Jia Cong to lead his own soldiers to escort Mrs. Xing, Yingchun, Daiyu, and Qin Keqing back to Beijing first.

The horseshoes galloped all the way through the mud, and just after noon on the fourth day of the winter month, everyone finally stood at the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

"Third master... the villain pays his respects to the wife, to the second girl, Miss Lin, and grandma Rong."

Jia Cong threw the reins of the horse to the door, and asked Er Gouzi, "How is the mansion?"

Er Gouzi bowed and said: "Everything is fine in the mansion. The villain is about to ask his wife and Miss Lin for a wedding seal. Our family's grand master has made a prince, and the adults from the Ministry of Rites came to the mansion to announce the decree. From now on, the wife will be the superintendent." There is also Miss Lin, the villain heard from Miss Yuanyang that Mr. Lin was born fair and clean, and his eyebrows and eyes are very much like a aunt's."

In normal times, with Mrs. Xing's stingy temper, she would never pay attention to those who begged for money.

But the great joy of Madam Marquis of Chifeng made her so bold that she even took out a silver coin weighing about five taels and threw it into Ergou's hands.

"You are really clever, I will give you a happy letter from my wife."

Er Gouzi smiled happily, and bowed again: "Oh, Mrs. Xie Guohou, the villain, reward..."

Although Daiyu was anxious to see her newborn brother, she still had the patience to let Xueyan hand over a silver key.

With five taels in hand again, Er Gouzi was even happier, and the auspicious words never stopped.

After welcoming a few people into the mansion, Mrs. Xing led the girls and daughters-in-law to the inner courtyard, while Jia Cong called Er Gouzi to the study of Dongkuayuan, and asked carefully about the situation in the mansion and the capital these days.

Er Gouzi was well informed, and after reporting the information he had collected in detail, he hesitated.

After roasting for a long time, the coldness on Jia Cong's body disappeared.

He held the teacup and drank it sips, glanced at the hesitant Ergou: "Tell me, what's the matter with you, hesitating like a bitch."

Er Gouzi glanced at the door, and said mysteriously: "Third Master, it's not a villain, it's Ni Er who begged the villain, and he wants to come to the mansion to do something."

Ni Er?

This person lives near the West Corridor, nicknamed Drunken King Kong, although he is a rascal, but because of others, he is quite famous as a righteous hero.

He has a good relationship with Jia Yun, and although he never harms his neighbors, he has gathered a lot of rogues under his command, who often haunt Goulan Washa, so his reputation is not very good.

Jia Cong didn't respond directly, but asked suspiciously: "Why would he want to come to our house to do business? I remember that the second brother once said that Ni Er can collect a lot of money just for the peace of Goulan Washe every month, which is comparable to his There's more money."

"Hey, the third master doesn't know something. Something happened to Ni Er's family..."

Er Gouzi smiled wryly, and began to explain the reason to Jia Cong in detail.

Ni Er's ancestor was actually one of the generals of the Jia family, otherwise a rascal would not be qualified to live in a place where nobles gather like Dashi Yongfang.

However, Ni Er's father left early, and the widowed mother relied on the support of his old brothers in the army. Han Han worked hard to raise Ni Er.

At the beginning, he thought that Ni Er would enter the military camp to ask for a living, and Ni Er, who didn't want to practice a lot of boxing skills, couldn't bear the rules and hardships in the army, so he started a group club and went to Goulan in Nancheng to collect Ping'an money. .

The self-willed and depraved Ni Er didn't have a very good reputation in Dashi Yongfang, but he served his mother very filially, and the neighbors near the West Corridor gradually accepted the existence of a gangster on Ningrong Street.

The northern city is rich and noble, while the southern city is poor and humble.

The Goulan cottages in Nancheng are mixed with good and bad, but the Goulan cottages in the capital can be opened, and behind them are the nobles in the capital, at least there will be a Beijing official of the sixth or seventh rank.

Originally, Ni Er relied on his ancestor's relationship with the Jia family's general, and was affixed to a fourth-rank military attache in the Beijing camp. Unexpectedly, this person was deprived of his post and sent to prison for corruption, and Ni Er lost his backing.

Not to mention, for some reason, a group of people suddenly came to the street he was in charge of. It is said that they were under the command of a certain military officer from Datong. The second was sent to the Daxing County Government.

Fortunately, Ni Er is not a reckless person, seeing that the situation is not right, he slipped back to Ningrong Street, and dared not leave the workshop for several days.

The brothers under Ren's command were taken away one by one and put in the Daxing County Prison. Ni Er had nothing to do.

His "drunk king" sounds like a bluff, but he has no strength to resist the county government servants in soapy clothes.

The people are the people, and the officials are the officials.

Even if the military attache from Datong was only at the fifth rank, he was a rascal who couldn't resist.

The day before yesterday, he woke up early in the morning because he was worried that his brothers in prison would be upset. When he was chatting with Er Gouzi in front of the Rongguo Mansion, he happened to meet the Ministry of Rites and his party who came to proclaim the decree.

Pardon the Grand Master to be a Marquis, and Ningrong Jia's family is almost back to its peak.Apart from the British Duke, the Grand Master Amnesty became the only military commander.

He remembered what his old mother often said: "Three generations of our family lived with Ningrong Second Mansion, you keep your eyes on the road and don't go on a smooth journey. If you insist on going outside to meet your blood, this is not a fool's job."

It's true that Ni Er is a rascal, but this person has a great advantage, that is, he is loyal enough.

Those brothers who followed him did nothing to put it on the table, but they did not do anything harmful to nature or reason.

What would the families of these brothers do if they were accused of beheading and exiled by that person?

The news that the Grand Master Pardoned him as a Marquis quickly spread on Ningrong Street. Ni Er, who hadn't slept all night, ran to the gate of Rongguo Mansion the next day, and told Er Gouzi what he had read in his heart. .

Ergouzi and Ni Erxiang are close friends and know this person's heart.Thinking of filial piety, this is the voice to speak for it.

"Third Master, the villain didn't tell you this just to help him. Do you still remember that the villain told you that there are many people under Ni Second Hand, almost all over the capital? Most of these people went deep into Goulan Washe, the news is the most well-informed. Most of the information collected by the villain comes from them..."

Jia Cong seemed thoughtful, staring at Er Gouzi's eyes: "You mean, take it for your own use?"

Er Gouzi nodded and said nothing more.

The study fell into silence, and Jia Cong began to think about the pros and cons of this matter.

If it's just Ni Er alone, he will accept it if he accepts it.But from Ergouzi's request, Ni Er obviously wanted the Rongguo Mansion to protect his brothers from prison.

Those bullshit things that a group of rogues do on weekdays, even if they don't have to go to jail and behead their heads, are still bad reputations.

If you use it for yourself, you have to think about it carefully.

"Ergou...forget it, I have to think about this matter carefully."

Jia Cong didn't agree directly, but waved at Er Gouzi.

After Ergou retreated, he asked Jia Shishi, who was guarding the door, to come in: "Uncle Shiyi, do you think there is something wrong with this matter?"

Jia Shishi smiled wryly and said, "Actually, the Lord had considered recruiting a group of people who usually hang out in Goulan Washe, but at that time there were too many people staring at our house, and the Lord was worried that recruiting these people would actually be a problem. They attacked our excuses, so they only planted some hidden stakes in Beicheng. Coincidentally, the military officer from Datong that Ni Er was talking about, the hidden stakes have sent news a few days ago. This person is named Sun Shaozu..."

Whoa!

Jia Cong was taken aback by Jia Shishi's name, and he stood up abruptly and asked, "Who are you talking about? Sun Shaozu?"

"It's Sun Shaozu, why is the third master so surprised? The third master shouldn't know this person."

In Jia Shishi's impression, Sun Shaozu's father had been to Rongguo Mansion once or twice, and Sun Shaozu was still breastfeeding at that time.

What's more, the Sun family has been in Datong for decades, and apart from occasional simple greetings and friendship, they have almost no contact with each other.

Moreover, after the grandpa who was originally from the old man's old department died of illness, the Sun family has been in mourning for three years, and the intermittent contact has almost been cut off.

Jia Cong coughed twice, and found an excuse to cover up: "I once heard from my father that our family has many old ministries in Datong, and one of them is named Sun. Didn't his old man die of illness, and suddenly he heard Sun Shaozu coming. Jing, a little surprised."

This excuse... Forget it, as long as the third master is happy.

Jia Shixi nodded: "Sun Shaozu came to Beijing this time to report to the Ministry of War to prepare for the lack of marquis. By the way, he came to the mansion a few days ago to send a letter of worship, but the Lord will be punished by His Majesty to guard the palace gate. Things dragged on and on until now.”

Asshole, smelly shameless!
Jia Cong hates two people very much, one is the white-eyed wolf Jia Hua Jia Yucun, and the other is the Zhongshan wolf Sun Shaozu.

The son is Zhongshan Wolf, and he is mad when he is successful.

Golden boudoir flowers and willows, one set to go to yellow beams.

With him in this life, the second sister will definitely marry a good man who loves her and will give birth to two fat nephews, causing her headaches every day...

Sun Shaozu, the wolf of Zhongshan, cut him off even if it was cheap, so he cut it up and went to the palace to serve others!
Jia Cong gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Eleven, send someone to investigate this Sun Shaozu. Also, let someone tell Ni Er to come to the mansion tomorrow."
