Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 129
The day after the Qionglin Banquet, the central gate of Ningguo Mansion opened wide.

Jia Qiong's passing away in Sanyuan is a great joy for the Jia family. The Jia family will open an ancestral hall to offer sacrifices and comfort the spirits of their ancestors.

All the men of the Jia clan, except the elders, were waiting in front of the door to greet him. Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu and others were all there.

Of course, they are not just here to greet Jia Qiong. He doesn't have such a big party yet.

These people are waiting here mainly to welcome the three yuan and the third plaque given by the emperor.

People were discussing in small groups in low voices, most of them had joy on their faces, only Jia Zhen stood there affectionately and calmly, closing her eyes to rest.

The marriage granted by the Supreme Emperor was like a thorn in his heart, making him feel uncomfortable no matter what he thought, and also made him feel a little afraid of Jia Qiong.

"I'm coming."

Following the servant's announcement, everyone's eyes turned to the east.

At the end of the long street, Jia Qiong was seen wearing a bullfight uniform, riding a red war horse, with a sword hanging from his waist, coming against the rising sun.

His majestic and expectant attitude made some older Jia clan members vaguely remember the demeanor of their previous family head.

Arriving in front of everyone, Jia Qiong stood up and dismounted, cupped his hands and said, "Brothers, please wait for a long time."

Jia Zhen was the first to greet him, laughing and saying: "Brother Qiong is really charming. He is worthy of being someone who can make great achievements beyond the Great Wall."

Jia Zhen was very enthusiastic, but Jia Qiong still noticed a trace of discomfort in his expression.

Before he could think too much, Jia Lian stepped forward and said, "Brother Qiong is both civil and military. It is really a blessing for our Jia family."

After Jia Qiong won the top prize, his status was no longer the same as before, and he was about to soar into the sky before his eyes.

Today they saw Jia Qiong's majesty again, so they were naturally more polite. All the children of the Jia family came forward to congratulate him.

Jia Qiong said with a smile: "My modest achievements are all due to the blessing of my ancestors. It's all from my own family who don't need to be so polite.

Let's go in quickly, don't keep the elders waiting. "

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Brother, it is true, but we have to invite the plaque given by the emperor first, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the emperor."

Jia Qiong nodded and said: "Second brother Lian said, Tian Li, bring the plaque over."

Tian Li and Ping An carried the Sanyuan and the plaque out of the carriage, and Jia Qiong took it with both hands and held it in front of her chest.

The plaque given by the emperor is made of real material, made of iron beam wood, and is three to four times heavier than an ordinary plaque.

Jia Zhen called two boys to help move it. Jia Qiong waved to stop her and entered the house holding the plaque.

No one else dared to pass Jia Qiong, who was holding the imperial plaque, so they could only follow him through the door.

The elders of the Jia family who were waiting in front of the ancestral hall could only let Jia Qiong go into the ancestral hall when they saw this scene, and he naturally took over the right of officiating.

Jia Qiong did this not only to express respect for the emperor and show his courage, but also to establish his prestige among the children of the Jia clan.

Now that he has entered the court and has some capital, he can start to fight for the Jia clan's right to speak.

Jia Qiong planned to gradually establish prestige among the clan and then make Raja Zheng his ally.

When the time comes, use some means to get Jia Zhen and his son to get out.

The next morning, Zhu Chen, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, came to visit, and Jia Qiong welcomed him into the front hall to watch tea.

"Master Zhu, why do you have time to come to Xiaguan today? But something is wrong?"

Zhu Chen smiled and said: "Yu Jing, the Supreme Emperor has granted you a marriage, and the wedding process can be completely handled by our etiquette department.

Now that Qin Tian Jian has determined the auspicious date, preparations for the wedding should begin. "

Jia Qiong suddenly realized: "It turns out this is for this matter. If you need my cooperation, please give me your orders." Zhu Chen smiled and said, "Since it is the Supreme Emperor who granted me the marriage.

This is to accept the gift, ask for the name, accept the gift, and save the gift of asking for the date. Today I am here to inform you of the date of accepting the invitation and welcoming the bride.

The levy will be collected on the 25th of April and the bride will be welcomed on the [-]th of April. All you need to do is prepare the bride price and book the wedding room. The rest will be taken care of by the Ministry of Etiquette. "

Jia Qiong said with a smile: "It's such a small matter. Lord Zhu can just send a clerk to tell me. Why don't you come in person?"

Zhu Chen smiled and said, "I'm here today to be your matchmaker and deliver the marriage certificate.

The Supreme Emperor grants a marriage, so you can't just send a small official to do it. "

As he spoke, Zhu Chen took out a marriage certificate from his sleeve and said, "I'm ready. All you need to do is sign your name and fill in your date of birth."

Jia Qiong cupped his hands and said, "That's really helpful, sir. Please sit down for a while and I'll be back."

Jia Qiong took the marriage certificate and went to the study to fill in her birthday and birth date.

When he opened the marriage certificate and scanned the bride's name, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He looked at it carefully again and saw that the bride's name was Qin Jianmei.

At this time, his movements suddenly stopped, and he suddenly realized that Qin Jianmei was Qin Keqing's official name!
Jia Qiong felt completely confused this time.

He couldn't understand how Qin Keqing became the head of the county, and why he was granted a marriage by the Supreme Emperor.

Is this Qin Jianmei Qin Keqing?

He suppressed his doubts and filled in his birth date, returned to the flower hall and handed the marriage certificate to Zhu Chen.

"Master Zhu, I wonder whose daughter Qin Jimei, the head of Yongning County, is?"

Zhu Chen asked in surprise: "It's been several days, and you still don't know the origin of the bride?"

Jia Qiong could only smile awkwardly when he heard this. He really didn't take the marriage seriously, and he didn't ask anyone to find out the identity of Yongning County Lord.

"The head of Yongning County is the daughter of Qin Ye, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry. She was recruited into the Chonghua Palace as a female history officer two years ago and has been serving in the Empress Dowager's palace.

I guess you have gained the favor of the Emperor and the Queen Mother. I was named the County Lord just two months ago, and now I have granted you a marriage. "

Sure enough, it was Qin Keqing. Jia Qiong couldn't help but stir up a stir in his heart. He thought of a lot in an instant.

Why was Qin Keqing, the daughter of a fifth-grade official, recruited into the Chonghua Palace, why was she named the county lord, and why was she given a marriage?

This thing is weird. Could it be that Qin Keqing really has a special identity.

It was popular in later generations that Qin Keqing was the daughter of the deposed prince. The Supreme Emperor granted him a marriage with Qin Keqing, so he had to think of this.

If this is the case, then with Emperor Longqing's suspicious character, it is almost impossible for him to trust himself again.

However, the words Prince Gong said when he came to congratulate him, now that I think about it, it seems that Emperor Longqing asked him to say it specifically to reassure himself.

Is this true or false?Jia Qiong couldn't judge for the time being, so he could only bury his doubts in his heart.

Knowing that he was going to get married to Qin Keqing, his heart felt completely different from before.

Although I have great doubts about her identity, I still feel like it's pie in the sky.

He had begun to look forward to what kind of alluring beauty this most beautiful creature in Dream of Red Mansions would be.

Jia Qiong asked Zhu Chen for the address of the Qin family and planned to visit with gifts the next day.

Firstly, it was out of etiquette, and secondly, I wanted to explore the mystery of Qin Keqing's life experience.
