On Ningrong Street, a large group of officers and soldiers wearing gold armor poured in early in the morning, and these officers and soldiers were divided into many groups, and soon guarded all the corners of the main gate of Ningguo Mansion on the left and right, attracting many people to watch.

Inside and outside the Rongxi Hall, the subordinates of the Jia family have been repulsed, and many eunuchs are standing here.

Jia Lian also heard the little maid report the situation outside the street, he walked up to an old eunuch, nodded and asked, "Dare to ask Old Man Feng, who are the forbidden troops outside, ......?" ”

Although the forbidden army did not besiege the Rongguo Mansion, the two mansions are one family, and he is still very worried.

The person he regarded as Feng's old husband was none other than Feng Xiang, the chief manager of Xiyuan. He was looking at the furnishings in the Rongxi Hall, and when he heard this, he turned his head and squinted at him, and said lightly: "Jia Tongzhi will know in a while." ”

"Yes......"

Jia Lian nodded curtly, and then stood beside him in a proper manner, not daring to ask again.

After a while, there was the sound of footsteps in the back porch, and then Jia Baoyu walked in. Jia Lian knew that it was time to receive the order, and was about to kneel in front of him, when he saw Feng Xiang, who had ignored him just now and spoke coldly, immediately changed his demeanor and greeted Jia Baoyu: "The old slave has seen General Jia." ”

That look, as if it was really a slave who saw his master, made Jia Lian surprised and jealous, and then secretly scolded Feng Xiang in his heart for looking down on people. Despite this, Feng Xiang is the confidant of the Emperor Taishang, how dare he make a mistake, he can only bow his head, and he doesn't dare to let the other party see his demeanor at all.

Jia Baoyu was also a little surprised, although he had never dealt with this old eunuch, he had heard of the other party's name, so he hurriedly bowed and returned the salute, and then said, "Dare to ask Mr. Feng what is the matter?" ”

Feng Xiang looked at Jia Baoyu with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Good thing, good thing~"

After saying this, it was not good to delay any longer, and took out the holy decree from the gold-plated sandalwood tray next to it......

Jia Baoyu and the others hurriedly knelt down.

"Jia Baoyu and Jia Lian received the ......"

"The minister takes the order."

"Fengtian carried Emperor Taishang and said: Jia Zhen, the hereditary third-class mighty general of the Duke of Ningguo, and Jia Rong, the fifth great-great-grandson of the Duke of Ningguo, disregarded the law and etiquette, betrayed morality, caused the father and son to kill each other, humiliated the dignity and dignity of the court, and deeply owed the emperor's grace, so they cut off Jia Zhen's hereditary lordship."

Hearing the word "Jue", Jia Baoyu frowned. Although it's only about Ning Guofu, what kind of good thing is this?

Jia Lian even found that his legs were a little weak, and what the people in the clan were worried about some time ago actually happened......

Feng Xiang saw all their reactions in his eyes, and seeing that Jia Baoyu did not move, he nodded secretly in his heart, and said with a smile: "General Jia, don't worry, this holy decree should have been passed to Ning Guofu, but I heard that the heirs of Ning Guofu were lost, so I brought it here and announced it." There is another decree about General Jia. ”

Jia Baoyu remained silent, raised his head and took the holy decree and handed it to Jia Lian's hands, and then continued to bow down and listen to the will.

Feng Xiang silently took out another holy decree from the plate:

"Fengtian carried the edict of Emperor Taishang, saying: Jia Yan, the Duke of Zining, and Jia Yuan, the Duke of Rongguo, followed Emperor Taizuwu to fight in the south and the north, and made great achievements. Today's son is not good, and he has failed to live up to the grace of heaven, causing Jia Men Shijue to go to one of them, which is really not what I want.

The Mandate of Heaven lives up to the meritorious minister, Jia Baoyu, the great-grandson of the fourth Rongguo Gong, is extremely talented, and I am deeply pleased. And I heard that although he was young, he also made great contributions to the court, and I found that the previous reward of the court could not be rewarded.

Therefore, he is now specially given the position of first-class Earl of Jingyuan, and he is here. ”

......

Wang Xifeng's yard at the back of Rongguo Mansion, Wang Xifeng waited in the house for Jia Baoyu to come and call her after cleaning up, and later felt a little bored and went to Ping'er.

"Grandma'......"

Ping'er leaned on the kang and was about to get up when she saw Wang Xifeng coming in.

Wang Xifeng frowned and said, "It's all like this, why do you pay attention to these false courtesies?" Are you still scolding you before you hate me? ”

"No, I don't dare ......"

"Hehe, you just don't dare to ......"

Wang Xifeng pursed his lips and sat down beside her, looking at his bright and bright personal maid. I think that when she first married into the Jia family, this little girl was only ten years old, and now she has already become a slim beauty.

Touching her face, Wang Xifeng suddenly said in her dodge: "I saw Baoyu just now, and he took the initiative to ask about you, I don't know when you had such a great dignity, so that such a busy person could think of you in his busy schedule?" ”

Ping'er tilted her head, but the heartfelt and surprised expression she showed when she heard these words at first glance still couldn't escape Wang Xifeng's eyes.

Wang Xifeng's face suddenly became gloomy.

"Little hoof, don't tell me, what happened to you and Baoyu's kid before, right?"

Ping'er's expression changed suddenly when she looked at the corner of the room, and turned her head and said, "What did grandma say?" Why can't I understand? ”

"Hmph, you don't play sloppy with me, I can still tell how many catties and taels your little hooves have.

I kind of figured it out, you happened to meet Baoyu in the rain in the Grand View Garden that day, and I thought there was something wrong with the two of you. Now it seems that I guessed that your illness was born for this ......"

Ping'er said in shame: "Don't spray people with blood!" ”

Wang Xifeng looked at her and sneered, "Do you want to confront my wife with me?" ”

"You ......" Ping'er's face suddenly changed. She knows Wang Xifeng's personality and knows that she may really do it.

Wang Xifeng saw her and said: "Okay, you hairy little hoof, you were embarrassed to use some justice and reason to suppress me before, it turns out that you are the most shameful, carrying me behind my back, and I have already stolen everyone!" ”

Wang Xifenghu looked at Ping'er with resentment in his eyes, as if he had found out that Ping'er had stolen some amazing elixir from her.

"You talk nonsense......"

Ping'er was already sick and weak, and was scolded by Wang Xifeng like this, and suddenly the tears of grievance fell.

"You don't pretend to be like this for me, am I wrong? Who reprimanded me with a shy face, what uncle-in-law status, what kind of common reasoning? Hehe, you're really my good girl! If you think that I usually detain you and don't let you fool around with your second master, you can say it directly, I will fulfill you, why bother pretending to be for my sake, but secretly doing these things of male thieves and prostitutes to disgust me, what do you mean! ”

Wang Xifeng was really resentful in his heart. One Ping'er is her personal maid, and Ping'er's reputation is related to her face. Second, it was true that Ping'er always advised her to self-discipline and introspect before, but now she suddenly found that "the one who sues the thief is the thief", how to make her swallow this breath?

She is such a straightforward person, but she doesn't know how hurtful her words are to Ping'er.

Ping'er didn't dare to talk back to Wang Xifeng at this time, so she had to bury her head in the quilt and cry bitterly.

Wang Xifeng didn't care.

In her heart, Ping'er is her maid, thinking of her past feelings and benefits, if such a thing really happens, she will be extra generous if she doesn't deal with her, how can she not even scold her for two sentences? Originally, she was sorry for herself first, and she didn't know to take her with her......

Therefore, not only did he not accumulate virtue and stop talking, but he found a few words of scolding. Seeing that Ping'er was crying so much, she was angry in her heart, and was about to scold her a few more words, when she suddenly heard the hurried footsteps of people outside, so she stopped and squinted at the person: "What's the matter?" ”

The mother-in-law was not surprised to see Ping'er hiding on the kang and crying, anyway, it is not uncommon for the second grandmother to bully Miss Ping.

"Grandma, something happened, and the father-in-law who passed the decree came to the house......"

Wang Xifeng's face also changed, and he hurriedly asked, "What is the rumor?" ”

"Ning Guofu has been cut down! Now the streets outside are full of officers and soldiers, and I heard that Ning Guofu has been fenced off. ”

"Oh my God......" Wang Xifeng was shocked.

Cut the lord, the officers and soldiers besieged the mansion, and the Ning Guofu was going to be convicted of being raided? I didn't expect that what those people in the clan were worried about would come true.

Then she asked the woman, "What else?" What do the old lady, Mrs., and Second Master Lian say? ”

"These minions don't know, I heard from outsiders, and I immediately came in to return to the second grandmother!"

Wang Xifeng saw that this mother-in-law was also flustered and had no choice, so he glanced back at Ping'er, didn't say anything, turned around and walked out.

At this time, she was going to Rongqing Hall to see what Mrs. Jia Mu said, as for Ping'er's affairs, she would slowly clean her up in the future.

Rongguo Mansion made people nervous because of the half-understanding of the subordinates, and the indiscriminate rumors. Ning Guofu, but people are really panicking, everyone is in danger, and they don't know what to do.

In the main hall, You Shi looked at Lai Sheng and asked, "How is it, can you ask what the situation is?" ”

"Back to grandma, the minions have already gone up to ask, but those officers and soldiers ignored it and didn't let me wait to go out."

Hearing this, You sat down in a daze.

It's time to come, it's still coming.

Lai Sheng said again: "But don't worry, grandma, those officers and soldiers didn't break in, they all stood a few meters outside the door, just guarding the exits everywhere." ”

As soon as he said this, three points of hope rose in You Shi's heart, and he said, "How is it in Xifu?" ”

"I don't know the specific minions, but there don't seem to be officers and soldiers in Xifu, and the minions have already let our family enter the garden through the gate between the two mansions, and go through Xifu, and I think there will be news soon."

The two mansions were originally close to each other, and the original construction of the Grand View Garden occupied most of the place behind the two mansions, and opened the door between the garden and the Ning Guo Mansion. Those officers and soldiers are just stationed outside the palace, and they naturally can't control the door inside.

"Is Xifu alright? By the way, there is a noble concubine in Xifu, how can there be anything! ”

"Yes, yes, let's all go to Xifu, otherwise who knows when those officers and soldiers will rush in......"

Several aunts left behind by Jia Zhen and Jia Rong began to chatter, suggest, and some of them moved as soon as they said they would, and slowly slipped. Seeing that You ignored it, it was even more windy under his feet, and he quickly ran away.

There is a door of life, who wants to accompany here and wait for death?

"Grandma, why don't we go to Xifu for a while?"

Silver Disc admonished You.

You Shi's brows moved, looking a little moved. In the face of such a change, who can not panic?

Just thought about it seriously, or shook his head and sighed: "What's the use of escaping, the whole world is not the king's land, if Ning Guofu is really going to be robbed and questioned, who can hide?" But sooner or later. ”

Saying that, You Shi actually said to Lai Sheng and the other housekeepers and housekeepers' daughters-in-law: "You guard everywhere, the more you are at this time, the more you can't panic." As long as those soldiers don't enter the house for a moment, there is still hope.

After all, our Ningguo Mansion is the founding father, and in addition to our Ningguo Mansion, there is also Rongguo Mansion. The two mansions are originally one family, as long as the Rongguo Mansion still exists, our Ningguo Mansion will not have an accident!

Therefore, if you pass on my words, no one is allowed to run or steal in the house without authorization, but if you find it, you will be arrested and punished! ”

You Shi's imminent danger made Lai Sheng and others admire, but they inevitably lacked confidence in their hearts.

No matter how calm the grandmother is, she is just a woman, and in the face of such a situation, she doesn't even have the ability to mediate.

But that's it, Ning Guofu has long been in a state of ownerlessness. They are just slaves, even if Ning Guofu is really bad, for them, they are just being sold separately, from the servants of one family to another.

They can afford the consequences.

It's just that I pity the big grandmother, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for her to live.

Thinking like this, everyone slowly dispersed, and reluctantly did what You Shi ordered.

They didn't know that the grandmother they were worried about still had a lot of hope in their hearts.

Jia Baoyu promised her that she would be dedicated to Ning Guofu's affairs, thinking that even if he couldn't save Ning Guofu, there should be no problem if he wanted to save her as a woman.

This is the reason why she is trying to please Jia Baoyu.

It's just that Ning Guofu will really be raided?

Rongxi Hall, Jia Baoyu looked up in amazement, the city was like him, and he couldn't help but show a shocked expression at this time?

What the hell, suddenly knighted him? And one is the earl, or is it first-class?

Are you kidding!

Jia Baoyu, the title of Ning Guofu, can still accept it, after all, it is a double duke, and the royal family quietly took one back with the help of this big scandal, and no one will say that the royal family is unkind, but will scold Ning Guofu for doing it himself.

But what does it mean to give him a knighthood suddenly? Compensate?

If you want to compensate, just transfer the title of Ning Guofu directly to yourself, why make such a big detour?

Jia Baoyu was still like this, and Jia Lian next to him and the kneeling Jia family members were even more dumbfounded, they all forgot their fear of imperial power for the time being, and looked up at Feng Xiang one by one, as if they wanted to see if Feng Xiang had accidentally recited the wrong holy decree......

It's a pity that Feng Xiang didn't have any other expression on his face except for a warm smile like a chrysanthemum, and even when Jia Baoyu raised his head, he reminded with a smile: "Why, Uncle Jing Yuan still hasn't accepted the order to thank you?" ”

"Weichen Command, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Jia Baoyu took the holy decree with both hands, bowed to the ground and thanked him, and his voice shook the entire hall number.

Even if it was him, he couldn't help but feel a little agitated at this moment, and he felt a little bit of the emperor's grace!

Then he knew why so many people were stupid and loyal in ancient times. Because when I received this kind of holy decree, the feeling of comfort in my heart was beyond words, only tears......

PS: Don't study the format and wording of the holy decree in detail, just understand the meaning, and I don't have the level of an ancient scholar to draft a qualified holy decree. If you really want to write a copy of the text, I guess no one wants to study it slowly......

If you really want to study, go and search for the original version of the ancient holy decree, many of which have been preserved.

(In addition, there is only one chapter for the New Year, and we forgive the author for it...... ）
