Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 178: Adding an official, a title, and a dragon
Yuanyang understood what Jia Qiong said.

She thought to herself: Uncle Qiong said this not for Baoyu and the others, but for me to learn from the old lady.

But what he said does make sense. Maybe I really have to do this for him.

Yuanyang returned to Jia Mu's place in the middle courtyard. A stage had been set up here, and everyone was waiting for Jia Qiong and the others to come over and the play would begin.

When Jia Mu saw Yuanyang coming back on her own, she hurriedly asked, "What did Brother Qiong say? He didn't agree?"

Yuanyang replied: "I agreed. Uncle Qiong said that Mr. Huan and Mr. Lan should stand for half an hour while Mr. Bao writes an article and then rest."

Jia Mu said displeasedly: "I've already given you a rest, why are you still standing still writing an article?"

Yuanyang then repeated Jia Qiong's words exactly as they were said.

Jia's mother was speechless and felt a little feverish on her face. She had indulged Baoyu in this way before. Jia Qiong's words seemed like a slap in the face.

When Wang Xifeng saw Jia Mu's face, she was a little worried, and she smiled and said, "Listen, no wonder Brother Qiong can get three yuan, it's all in people's mouths.

Fortunately, the old lady sent Yuanyang there. If I had gone over to ask for it, I might not even be able to ask for it for half a day. "

Wang Yuyan stood up pretending to be unhappy and said: "This is too boring.

Ancestor, please wait. I'll call him over. I want to see if he dares to scold me. "

Li Wan hurriedly grabbed her and said, "I think what brother Qiong said is very reasonable. Only by enduring hardship can one become a master.

Besides, brother Qiong also gave him half a day off, which was enough. My sister must not go. "

Tanchun said: "Sister-in-law, don't be upset. Brother Qiong is very knowledgeable. This is the responsibility of loving relatives and friends. Our family should be grateful."

Daiyu also said: "The ancients said that establishing virtue, establishing merit, and establishing words are the three immortalities.

Brother Qiong has great virtues and teaches by words and deeds. Even if he is not as good as a saint, he still has the air of a sage. "

Baochai nodded and said, "Baoyu and the others are very lucky to have Brother Qiong personally teach them."

Aunt Xue took Jia Mu's hand and said with a smile: "I see, follow Brother Qiong's teachings.

Baoyu and his uncles and nephews will all be either bachelors or generals in the future. "

Jia Mu laughed and said: "With my concubine's good words, if this can really happen, I will enshrine Brother Qiong as a Bodhisattva from now on."

Wang Xifeng laughed when he heard this and said: "Ancestor, Brother Qiong is a Wenquxing, not a Bodhisattva. Don't get confused when the time comes."

Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this, and the atmosphere became lively again.

At this time, Wang Yuyan picked up the play list and came to Jia Mu and said: "Ancestor, since they are not coming, we don't have to wait any longer.

Please order a play first, we will enjoy it. "

Jia Mu said, "Everything seems good to me. I'd better let my concubine point it out."

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "I'm just blind, so I can't understand this. I'd better point it out, Yu Yanyatou."

Wang Yuyan smiled and said: "Okay, let's listen to a new play, Yueyang Tower Poetry Club."

When Jia Mu heard this, she said curiously: "This play sounds really new. I have never heard it before."

Except for Jia Mu, Aunt Xue and Wang Xifeng, everyone else would smile and watch Jia Qiong's story intently.

While everyone was listening to the play, a woman suddenly ran in in a panic and said, "Old lady, someone from the palace has come to deliver the order."

When everyone heard this, they all stood up in surprise. Jia Mu hurriedly asked: "What is the message?"

"I don't know. It's a decree for Uncle Qiong."

"Have you sent someone to call Brother Qiong?"

"Already called."

Jia Mu nodded and said, "Yuanyang, help me go to the front and have a look."

A group of people followed Jia Mu and walked outside. They didn't know whether the decree was good or bad, and they were all a little nervous.

Wang Yuyan and Qin Keqing held each other's hands tightly, Xue Baochai kept twisting the handkerchief in his hand, and the others also winked at each other.

When they came to the outer hall, Jia Mu knew that this was no small matter when she saw the eunuch in python suit standing in the courtyard ready to read out the decree.

At this time, Jia Qiong and four others just arrived. Everyone stood with their heads solemn and listened respectfully to the imperial edict.Jia Qiong guessed that this was probably a reward from the emperor, and only heard the eunuch who delivered the order read it.

The emperor, who was entrusted with the destiny of heaven, issued an imperial edict: "I govern the world with letters and suppress chaos with force."

The military commanders and generals are the mainstay of the imperial court and the mainstay of the country.

……

You have Jia Qiong, a descendant of Ning Guogong, who has both civil and military talents, both political integrity and talent... He has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements, so he must be rewarded.

Now Jia Qiong is given the first degree of Viscount, which will benefit his descendants.

He moved to the Hanlin Academy to serve as a lecturer, and was given the title of Commander of the Imperial Guard.

Imperial order, this is the seventh day of July in the 19th year of Longqing's reign. "

After the eunuch conveyed the decree, everyone could not hide their expressions of surprise.

Emperor Longqing was really generous this time, providing one-stop service for promotions and promotions. The reward this time was so awesome that even Jia Qiong had never expected it.

He quickly knelt down to express his gratitude: "Jia Qiong, thank you for your kindness. Long live my emperor!"

The eunuch who delivered the order smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Jia, this is truly a great favor from the emperor. Please get up."

Jia Qiong stood up and asked, "I wonder what I call my father-in-law?"

"Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of the Sixth Palace of the Za family."

Jia Qiong cupped his hands and said, "It turns out to be Eunuch Xia, please have some tea in the inner room."

Xia Shouzhong said: "Don't be busy, the emperor still has an oral message."

Jia Qiong hurriedly bowed and said, "I respectfully listen to the edict."

"I heard that when you were recuperating, you killed a big insect with one knife. There was no injury on the tiger skin. It is very rare. You can bring it to me to see. I admire it."

"...The minister obeys the order."

Jia Qiong knew as soon as he heard this that the emperor was trying to trick him into cheating and cheating, so that he could go back to work honestly.

Xia Shouzhong smiled and said, "Master Jia, don't be stunned. Quickly grab your things and go to the palace with the Za family to thank you."

"Father-in-law, please have some tea in the house first. Let me change my clothes and come."

"Your Excellency, please."

Jia Qiong returned to the room, and Wang Yuyan and Qin Keqing also came back to change his official uniform.

Naturally, they were very happy that Jia Qiong was promoted, with smiles on their faces.

Wang Yuyan took out the tiger skin, found a piece of silk to wrap it up, and warned: "Husband, if the emperor likes this tiger skin, just give it to the emperor as a gift, and don't bring it back to the emperor if you don't have the eyesight to see it."

Jia Qiong said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't want to see the tiger skin. He is telling me not to pretend to be sick and to go back to work as soon as possible.

Don't worry, I will definitely bring this tiger skin back to you. "

Wang Yuyan nodded and said: "Since the emperor has urged us, let's go back quickly."

Jia Qiong thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back by myself first.

It's hot now, so you can stay a little longer and go back when the weather gets cooler. "

Wang Yuyan nodded and said: "That's fine, I haven't stayed enough.

Then let Sister Qin go back with you, and I will stay with the old lady and the others. "

Qin Keqing said shyly: "Sister, you go back and I stay."

Jia Qiong was afraid that the two of them would ask who he wanted to go back, so he hurriedly said: "I'll leave first, Eunuch Xia should wait and be anxious.

You decide among yourselves who will go back, and I will pick them up tomorrow. "After saying that, he ran away.

Wang Yuyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Sister, please go back and watch him. Don't let him bring any bad guys to your house."

Jia Qiong, who had just gone out, staggered when he heard this and almost doubled over.

He thought to himself: Could my wife be a spy of Jinyiwei? How could she even know this?
