Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 76 Is this too much of a surprise?
After Yuanchun went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, when Empress Dowager Cao summoned Jiamu, the grandparents and grandchildren met once in the palace.

After returning home, Mother Jia fell seriously ill, and stopped talking about Empress Zhen's fake empress. Instead, she personally urged Mrs. Wang to raise money, and even took 5000 taels of silver from her private treasury and sent it to the palace in advance.

On this day, Mrs. Wang came to Rongxi Hall to cry for Jiamu's poverty. When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were discussing where to buy money, there was a knock on the door.

Only the mandarin ducks guarding the gate reported in a crisp voice: "Old Ancestor, the imperial decree has come from the palace, please go to the front yard to receive the decree!"

The middle door of Rongguo Mansion was wide open, Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian were not there, Jia Zheng went to the yamen, and the whole mansion couldn't even handle the matter of welcoming the envoy properly.

Fortunately, Wang Xifeng invited the servants to bring the incense table, and went to Rongxi Hall to ask the old lady to come out.

This is the Queen Mother's decree. Jia Cong and Daiyu who lead the decree are not here, so Jia Cong's aunt, Mrs. Xing, and Daiyu's grandmother, the old lady, are required to take over the decree.

Mrs. Xing, who had received the letter earlier, was still trembling. This was the first time she stood in front of the Wang family and became the most eye-catching person in Rongguo Mansion.

On the other hand, Jia Mu was at a loss, and had no idea what happened.After coming out, when he saw Xia Shouzhong who came to proclaim the decree, his heart suddenly skipped a beat: Could it be the boss who made some trouble again!
But she still had a smile on her face: "So it's Xia Dujian, the old lady is polite!"

"If you can't make it, the servant girl greets the old lady. The empress dowager asks the servant girl to give you a voice. When the old lady has time, she will pass the sign into the palace. The empress dowager still wants to talk to the old lady."

What a smart person Xia Shouzhong is, although this old lady is not very good, but she is the first wife of Xian Rongguo, so she must not be rude.

If the spies from the Longshou Palace hidden in Jia's house had something to say, his life would be lost.

Xia Shouzhong held up the decree decorated with golden phoenix patterns on the red background, and explained with a smile: "The maidservant congratulated the old lady. The empress dowager has given you the decree to marry the only daughter of Lord Shilin, the inspector of salt in Yangzhou, to Jia, the son of the pardoner of your mansion. Cong Jia Qianhu. No, His Majesty was delighted to hear that Lord Lin is a loyal minister, but his heirs are not prosperous, and the king is very sorry. The only daughter promised to marry Xiao Jia Qianhu, which can comfort Lord Lin's heart, and specially sent slaves to come Declare the decree, and bestow Enrong Yuwu, to show the king's kindness."

boom!
If Mrs. Wang hadn't supported Mother Jia, the old lady would not even be able to stand still, and she would faint when her legs gave way. Mrs. Wang secretly pinched the old lady's back to stabilize herself.

Xia Shouzhong narrowed his eyes, and said in surprise: "Oh! Is this old lady overly surprised?"

"That's right, that's right, what Xia Dujian said was that the surprise was too much, the surprise was too much..."

Before Madam Wang finished speaking, she was interrupted by a scream.

"Second Master, Second Master, Baoyu, what's wrong with you?"

Everyone turned their heads and saw a man dressed like a red envelope lying on the path connecting Baoyu's yard and the front yard, surrounded by pretty maids, who were screaming and crying.

Xia Shouzhong didn't smile this time, and asked with a sullen and dissatisfied face: "Second Madam, is this too much of a surprise? Rongguo Mansion's rules are too messy!"

Wang Xifeng quietly tugged at Mrs. Xing's sleeve, and reminded in a low voice: "Ma'am, it's time for you to come forward, don't let the second room spoil our happy event!"

Mrs. Xing was also nervous. This was the order of the Empress Dowager and His Majesty the Emperor. Her legs were still trembling, for fear that she would spoil Jia Cong's happy event by making a fool of herself.

If something unexpected happens to this matter, the master will not tear her up when he comes back!
Mrs. Xing managed to stabilize her mind, took a step forward, and showed a stiff smile on her face: "Don't be annoyed, my supervisor, my Baoyu has been weak since she was a child, and she has been ill for the past few days, probably because she heard that there was a holy envoy in the front yard. Come on, seeing the majesty of the envoy, I fell to the ground in a moment of excitement. The envoy is important, so the capital prison should announce the decree first."

With Mrs. Xing's words, Xia Shouzhong also saw the situation inside Rongguo Mansion.With a secret sneer, he regained the expression he had when he came here, and reminded with a smile: "Let the old lady take it easy, Mrs. Lin is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and Miss Lin is raised by the old lady herself, and the orders for the Lin family have to be determined by the old lady." The old lady will pick it up in person."

As soon as Xia Shouzhong's words fell, Jia's mother, who had already recovered, responded in a deep voice: "I made Xia Dujian laugh, the old lady is fine, please make an announcement first!"

"Oh? Then according to the old lady's wishes, the slaves will announce the decree first!"

"According to the empress dowager's benevolent order, the Lin family, the daughter of Lin Ruhai, the censor of Yangzhou, has been respectful and long-serving in the boudoir. She is the daughter of the Zier Lin family. She is also gentle and respectful. Shu, has the quality of Huirou, soft and bright, has the beauty of peace and integrity, and is quiet and upright. The harmony of movement and harmony, the restraint of courtesy, the festival of respect for the late night, and the slack of diligence. The Queen Mother heard it Very happy, I hereby refer to marrying Jia Cong of the Rongguo Mansion, and I am responsible for choosing an auspicious day for the marriage."

"Old lady, madam, accept the order!"

"My wife thanked the Empress Dowager for her kindness, for a thousand years!"

Mother Jia and Mrs. Xing respectfully accepted Yi's decree. Mrs. Xing was of course full of joy, but Mother Jia's heart was overwhelmed, and she wished to go to Yangzhou to kill Jia She, the unworthy descendant.

It would be strange if Jia She hadn't played tricks in the palace to make such a decree!

Mother Jia couldn't care less about chatting with Xia Shouzhong anymore, but Wang Xifeng arranged for Lin Zhixiao to present a red envelope.

Xia Shouzhong put the red seal back into his sleeves without any trace, and said to Lin Zhixiao with a smile: "Gong She sent a memorial from Jiangnan, everything is fine!"

After listening to Lin Zhixiao's message, Wang Xifeng was finally relieved.But today's matter is not over yet, she can't rest, the Rongxi hall has become a mess, and she is calling for people to go to the yamen of the Ministry of Industry to invite the second master Jia Zheng to return to the government.

……

"Girl Feng, you are so kind. The old lady and Baoyu both fainted. Hurry up and arrange for someone to take the post to the imperial hospital to invite an imperial physician!"

Mrs. Wang hugged Baoyu who passed out and sweated anxiously, and the old lady on the side was also holding on to the golden phoenix on the red background, gritting her teeth and falling into a coma.

The gentlemen at home were not there, and Mrs. Wang was also confused and at a loss for a while.

Seeing Wang Xifeng's arrival, she even forgot the open and secret struggle between her aunt and nephew during these days, and put all her hopes on this shrewd and capable niece.

But Wang Xifeng didn't rush to agree, instead she loudly scolded the maidservant in the room who was screaming.

"Shut up, everyone, anyone who yells will be beaten to death!"

There was no sound in Rongxi Hall for a moment, Second Mistress Lian's prestige was no joke, she would really drag out servant girls who didn't listen to her and beat them to death!
"Yuanyang, you go to the front yard, go to Lin Zhixiao and immediately go to Baohetang to ask the doctor to come..."

Mrs. Wang interrupted Wang Xifeng's words dissatisfied, and complained impatiently: "The doctors in Baohetang are not as good as the imperial physicians, are you looking forward to the death of the old lady and Baoyu..."

This time, Wang Xifeng didn't even bother to perfunctory, and went straight back: "Second Aunt wants the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty to feel that the old lady and Baoyu are dissatisfied with the marriage proposal?"
