Chapter 343: Earl's Court
After Jia Baoyu received the order, he got up, looked at the old eunuch in front of him with a somewhat "charming" smile, and asked bluntly: "Dare to ask Chief Manager Feng, how did the Emperor Taishang and his old man think of the kid and suddenly descend such a grace?"
Forgive Xiaochen's lack of knowledge, at this moment, he is really a little frightened. ”
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it should be, it should be......"
Feng Xiang repeated two sentences in a row, his voice was very soft, seeing that Jia Baoyu's eyes were even more puzzled, he also knew that his performance was a little too much, so he said separately: "The Emperor Taishang also said that the Ningguo Mansion ordered by Taizu to be built for the Jia family does not have to be returned to the treasury, it still belongs to the Jia family, and it happens to be the Jingyuan Uncle's Mansion, so you only need to change the plaque......"
Jia Baoyu was thinking about it when he heard this, and Jia Lian next to him hurriedly said: "It's just that the Ningguo Mansion was originally built in accordance with the regulations of the Guogong Mansion. ”
When Feng Xiang heard this, he glanced at him and snorted: "What is regulation, the words of the Emperor Taishang are regulation!" This is the Emperor's personal decree, who dares to say that it violates the system? ”
Jia Lian's head shrank, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, I have a lot of mouths......
Jia Lian can see that this old eunuch is a cold-faced person, and his good attitude is only effective for Jia Baoyu alone.
He made up his mind that no matter what they said later, he would never say a word again.
Jia Baoyu didn't know that Jia Lian had a strong grievance in his heart, in fact, the doubts in his heart were also very strong.
Although he had won the emperor's birthday banquet with the emperor, and the emperor also praised him, but except for that time, for more than a year, he did not have much intersection with the emperor, and the emperor did not show special attention to him after that.
Could it be that the Holy Decree said that the Emperor Taishang felt that the imperial court was not satisfied with the reward for his Shandong merits, so he took this opportunity to compensate him for a wave of ruthlessness?
Or was he using him to suppress the emperor's prestige? After all, every thing that Emperor Taishang did against the emperor was a blow to the emperor.
Thinking of this suddenly, Jia Baoyu was shocked. If this is the case, I am afraid that Emperor Jingtai, who is not salty or indifferent to him, will be even more unhappy with him in his heart.
But when he thought of Jingtai's cold face, Jia Baoyu was instantly relieved. Coupled with the queen's affairs, he never thought that he would have the day he thought of with Emperor Jingtai......
Of course, I didn't dare to think about anything else.
As long as he does things well, Emperor Jingtai shouldn't easily think about cleaning himself up, right?
After all, the emperor can't only tolerate people who can pat on the back, and for capable ministers, there should still be a need.
After thinking about these things briefly, Jia Baoyu felt that there was nothing that had to be done at present, at least today, it was a great thing to be knighted!
It proved that he had taken another step forward on the steps of the top nobles.
Moreover, it seems that the Emperor Taishang seems to be quite good to him, and this thigh must be tightened. By the way, after receiving the emperor's favor, it stands to reason that he wants to thank him, but this is an opportunity to see if there is a chance to meet the emperor and improve this relationship a little better.
Well, I hope that Emperor Taishang can live longer, and it is best to boil Emperor Jingtai to death.
After all, as long as this thickest thigh of the entire Daxuan has always existed, what Emperor Jingtai, the second prince of the eldest prince, it is all out of the question......
Jia Baoyu felt that he had indeed neglected the role of that jade pendant before, and he should have been thick-skinned and went to Xiyuan to see the Emperor Taishang and his old man.
Go now, I don't know if the emperor and his old man will feel that he is not sincere enough, well, it looks like he should buy some gifts and bring them over......
"Count?"
Feng Xiang said two more words, and found that Jia Baoyu was a little distracted, so he reminded him. Jia Baoyu hurriedly replied: "The chief manager said that what happened to the forbidden army outside?" ”
"Hehe......" Feng Xiang smiled and continued: "Those forbidden troops were all sent by the Emperor Taishang to dismiss the people and clean up the mansion for the earl. The Emperor Taishang is worried that some of the people in the Ningguo Mansion will not be easy to deal with, so as long as the earl gives an order, the old slave can immediately let people drive out the extra people for the earl......
"Well, no need, thank you Mr. Feng."
Jia Baoyu said again and again.
He understood what Feng Xiang meant, probably saying that he and the original owner of Ning Guofu were a "family", and they might be embarrassed to drive people away, and in the end it might cause the phenomenon of doves occupying the magpie's nest, so he could help with this.
"I have the ability to deal with the people in Ning Guo's Mansion, so I won't bother Manager Feng."
"Well, well. However, the earl has to change his words, and there will be no Ning Guofu in the future, it is your earl's mansion, and the plaque will be sent by the court later. ”
Feng Xiang prompted, Jia Baoyu nodded his head, and then Feng Xiang said some more words, mostly complimenting him, and finally said goodbye and left.
Jia Baoyu quietly stuffed a "big red envelope" into his sleeve, Feng Xiang didn't shirk, and accepted it with a smile.
......
Rongqingtang, as soon as Wang Xifeng arrived here, he heard a mother-in-law inside talking loudly, saying something like "great joy", and then there was Jia's mother's loud and hearty laughter and the cheering voices of a room of maids.
She hurriedly quickened her pace and walked into the house, and saw that Lin Zhixiao's family, Zhou Rui's family, and some decent mothers-in-law and maids in the mansion all gathered here, congratulating Jia's mother one by one.
"Yo yo, I'm late, and I'm missing something big?"
She wondered in her heart, didn't she just say that Ning Guofu was cut down, why were they as happy as the New Year?
Could it be that everyone in the family is so bad, so happy to see others unlucky?
"I just thought of you and you're here, come here!"
Jia's mother smiled happily on a happy occasion, and when she saw this likable granddaughter-in-law, she was even more happy, and called her over one after another, and was about to say something happy to her, but she was speechless for a while, and simply asked Mandarin Duck to say it on her behalf.
The mandarin duck is tall and has a duck egg face, she stood behind Mother Jia and laughed with the little sisters beside her, and immediately said to Wang Xifeng when she heard the words: "I just came outside to pass the decree and knighted the second master of Bao!" ”
Wang Xifeng was surprised: "Didn't you say that you cut the knight, how did you become a knight?" ”
Wang Xifeng's words also made the cheers in the hall quieter all of a sudden.
The mandarin duck was speechless for a while, and then saw that Jia Mu's face was a little unhappy, and immediately said: "It is the title on Uncle Zhen's body, and it is the second master of Bao who is sealed!" ”
Wang Xifeng is not slow to turn his brain, and he knew at once that there should be two things here. Seeing that Jia's mother was displeased, she immediately smiled and said: "Look at me, just now I only heard half of the words in the back and ran in a hurry, I didn't expect it to be such a good thing!"
Isn't that a big event?
Baoyu, this kid, the court should have given him a big title a long time ago, and he only did it now, I still think the court gave it too late! ”
Never mention the matter of cutting the lord again.
Her words really made Jia Mu look at her angrily and smiled.
Then he sighed: "It's true, although Baoyu was knighted, but the title of Dongfu was lost, and today's is just a sad and a joy." ”
Wang Xifeng didn't mention it, Jia Mu wanted to mention it herself, and others couldn't do it.
Many people looked left and right, not knowing whether to laugh or show sadness.
Wang Xifeng knew how to deal with such a situation, and she asked with a cheeky grin: "What kind of title did Brother Bao get?" ”
There are big and small titles, and she also needs to understand them more clearly before she can administer needles to the symptoms.
"How long is it that the earl has been sealed?"
Mother Jia looked at the mandarin duck, she was only happy just now, and she didn't remember what time it was.
"Back to the old lady, wait a minute!"
Wang Xifeng didn't wait for the mandarin duck to speak, and his heart was shocked. Earl?
She thought that at most, it was only a third- or fourth-grade title, which was inferior to Jia Zhen.......
Who knew it was an earl, it was a good title!
Gonghou Uncle is already a good product.
When she heard that she was still a first-class earl, Wang Xifeng only felt that there was something wrong with her ears. After seeing that everyone did not refute the mandarin duck's words, Wang Xifeng knew that it was actually true.
She finally knew why they were so happy.
She also knew how to speak.
"Whew~!"
She let out an exclamation that surpassed everyone's voices, and when everyone's attention was successfully attracted by her, she smiled and said: "I said that you are too modest, ancestor, can this be called sad and joyful?" ”
"Huh?"
When Jia Mu saw that Wang Xifeng actually took her words, she immediately squinted at her.
Wang Xifeng was not afraid, only smiled: "I heard what your old man said just now, I thought that Brother Bao only got a title that was not in the best grades, but I never expected that it was actually an earl?" Or a first-class earl?
It's really ......! ”
She deliberately paused for a moment, took everyone's eyes on recognition, and then continued: "It's really hard to deceive me!
Speaking of which, the title on Brother Zhen's body is also precious, and the third-class mighty general sounds so majestic! It's just that if you calculate it carefully, it's just a third-grade title.
Zhen's sister-in-law was touched by his great light, and she just got a three-grade fate.
But what is a Count? Even if I don't understand this, I've heard people say that the earl is already a first-class title!
Count among the dozens and hundreds of titles in the world, how many of them are first-class? ”
Wang Xifeng really didn't know how many titles he had, so he said an extremely safe range, dozens or hundreds......
Jia Mu knew that she wanted to take the opportunity to please, so she was happy to echo her: "There are naturally not many first-class titles, except for the royal people, the whole world is full of calculations, and the number of people with first-grade titles will not exceed a hundred." ”
Mother Jia is the Duchess of Yipinguo, and she is qualified to enter the palace to receive the state banquet every year, not to mention anything else, just a few old sisters are making trouble, and they are more knowledgeable than Wang Xifeng.
So she knew that there were definitely less than 100 people with the surname of Da Xuan, who were in the first grade.
Wang Xifeng quietly wrote down the number and continued her speech:
"So, our family just lost a third-grade title, but got back a first-grade one, how can this be called a sad and a joyful? Not to mention the traders, even if it is in the hands of those crop masters, they know that this is a big deal! ”
And when they heard him say this parable, they all laughed. Although Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang knew that this was not the case, it was about Jia Baoyu, so they smiled and waited for her to continue to say and see what flowers she could say.
"Besides, Brother Zhen's people are already dead, and even Rong'er heard that she is dead, Ning Guofu has already cut off the inheritance, and the title is no longer passable!
Even if it is barely passed on, who knows what kind of title it is?
So, no matter what, we can be regarded as a big joy today, from now on, plus my father-in-law, our family is two first-class titles, isn't it a big joy? ”
asked two rhetorical questions again and again, which made the maid feel, well, or the second grandmother said it thoroughly, isn't it a big joy for three products to become one product?
Jia Mu shook her head, what Ning Guofu lost was not just a third-grade title, but a century-old inheritance and foundation......
It's just that the matter has come to this point, and she has nothing to regret, it was Jia Zhen and others who died by themselves, where can she manage so much.
Her baby grandson Baoyu is really developed now!
Therefore, she also chose to accept Wang Xifeng's statement and laughed.
When she laughs, how can everyone not laugh?
Lin Zhixiao's family saw a close friend of his wife beckoning on the side, quietly went over, listened to what she said, and then the ninja's surging heart, walked back, and returned to Jia's mother's side.
Jia Mu was so old that the corners of her eyes, which were already full of wrinkles, were wrinkled together with a smile, and when she heard the words, she suddenly opened them, and couldn't help but pat the high couch: "Really? ”
"Really, just now the old man of my family asked people to come in and go back, saying that the father-in-law who passed the decree said it himself, it was the holy order of the Emperor Taishang, and in the future, Ningguo Mansion will be the Earl's Mansion of the Second Master Bao!"
"This ......" Jia Mu's small eyes narrowed, and then said: "Spread the word out, tell Baoyu that after they take the order, come in to see me!" ”
There are sometimes errors in the transmission, and she needs to know the exact situation.
Turning Ningguo Mansion as an earl's mansion is too much to do here. The two most straightforward are:
First, the Jia family will not lose Ning Guofu. Among them is the foundation and power under the name of Ning Guofu.
Second, from now on, won't all the foundations of the Jia family and Ningrong mansions fall into the hands of Jia Baoyu? Except for the partial angle of the east cross courtyard in the middle of the two houses......
Rao is Jia's mother is used to seeing wind and waves, and she has always said that Jia Baoyu will have great luck in the future, and now she can't help but feel that her grandson's good fortune is too great.
Not to mention the inheritance of a national mansion handed down by his Lao Tzu, he took over Ning Guofu again......
Jia Mu is still like this, let alone others.
Wang Xifeng's mouth is wide open, Ning Guofu, it also belongs to Baoyu's kid?
Or is it just that?
......
Ning Guofu, the anxiously waiting You clan finally waited for good news.
"Grandma, those officers and soldiers have withdrawn!"
The maid flew in and replied.
You Shi immediately stood up, and Second Sister You, Third Sister You, and Old Lady You, who came to see her in the house, also got up.
"Really withdrawn? What's going on out there now? ”
You Shi felt that her heartbeat was a little abnormal, and it was all forced during this time.
The maid couldn't tell the situation outside, but fortunately, at this time, Lai Sheng and his family came in to talk back, so that they could roughly explain the matter.
Jia Zhen was dismissed.
Jia Baoyu was awarded the title of first-class Jingyuan uncle.
Because Ningguofu is to be used as the earl's mansion after Jia Baoyu, Ningguofu will neither be raided nor returned to the imperial court.
Hearing these news, the mother and daughter of the You family couldn't come back to their senses after a long time.
It took a long time to understand that the crisis in Ning Guofu was lifted.
In fact, before Ning Guofu was besieged, the old lady of the You family thought about running away with Eryou, but she didn't dare to go out, and second, You Shi's calmness gave them some confidence:
What if Ning Guofu is okay in the end, won't this trip cut off this incense?
That's why I barely stayed here to accompany You Shi.
You Shi sat and pondered for a long time, and finally waved Lai Sheng out. This is the inner courtyard, and Lai Sheng can only come in and reply when he is in a hurry.
"Big sister? Is it okay outside? You Lao Niang asked a nonsense tentatively.
You Shi glanced at her coldly, then looked at the two younger sisters, suddenly changed his attitude, nodded and said, "The old lady can rest assured, it should be fine." ”
"That's good, thank goodness ......"
You ignored You Lao Niang, who was praying to God and worshiping Buddha next to her, and her eyes only fell on her two younger sisters, and that look made Eryou's scalp tingle......
