After Jia Baoyu and Jia Lian sent Feng Xiang out, when they walked into the hall, a small servant came over and said that Jia Yu was in the side hall and asked Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu to come over.

It turned out that Jia Yu also rushed over when he heard the news from outside, but when he entered the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Baoyu and others were already receiving orders, so he didn't dare to disturb, so he had to wait in the side hall.

Jia Baoyu was silent for a while, and said to Jia Lian: "The eldest master will bother the second brother Lian to go to Tongyu, I will go to Rongqingtang to report to the old lady first, and then I will go to Xiyuan to thank you, so I won't go." ”

"Good ......." Jia Lian nodded immediately, he didn't know, his voice was unconscious, and he was a little more in awe of Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu glanced at him, didn't say anything, nodded and turned to leave.

Walking west from the middle road, I met Tanchun and Xiangyun who came out of the garden together, and they also heard the movement.

After briefly answering a few questions from them, Jia Baoyu asked, "What about Sister Lin?" ”

"We called her just now, and she ignored us."

Xiangyun's mouth curled, obviously a little unhappy with Daiyu's coldness, but then he skimmed over, pulled Jia Baoyu and said with a smile: "So, Brother Bao will be an earl in the future?" Hee-hee, I won't call you brother in the future, I'll call you Earl! ”

Jia Baoyu smiled and scratched her little nose, provoking Xiangyun to dodge.

Looking back, Tanchun also looked at him deeply, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly lowered his head.

"Third sister?"

Jia Baoyu called.

"Congratulations to the second brother...... "Exploring the spring is a blessing, and Xiangyun hurriedly made up for it when he saw this.

"Huh." Jia Baoyu thanked him with a smile, and then took Tanchun and Xiangyun's hands one by one.

"Second brother, your injuries are not healed yet." Tanchun knew that Jia Baoyu had an injury to his left shoulder, and his left arm was still unable to exert force.

Jia Baoyu smiled slightly: "This injury can't prevent me from holding my sister's hand." ”

As he spoke, his left palm still shook Tanchun's little hand hard.

Xiangyun didn't have so many worries, and took the initiative to pull Jia Baoyu forward, while saying, "Let's go, the old lady and the lady must be waiting for you inside at this time." ”

......

Jia Yu kept pacing in the hall, and after a while, he sent someone to ask if the decree had been delivered.

Originally, the proclamation of the decree was a very important and important matter for a family, and if it was not for an urgent edict, the person who carried the decree would wait for the people in the family to arrive before announcing it.

Who knew that he ran over as soon as he got the letter, and still didn't catch up......

He felt that Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu did not respect him and did not wait for him.

When Jia Lian came over, he only saw Jia Lian alone, and he asked even more unkindly, "Where is Baoyu?" ”

"Brother Bao went inside to report the matter to the old lady."

Jia Yu's face suddenly looked bad, and he reluctantly endured it, and asked, "Just now I heard that the edict was to knight Baoyu, or an earl, is this true?" ”

He thought it was impossible!

You must know that there are so many heroes in the founding of the country, and Taizu has only awarded a total of twenty or thirty dukes and marquises.

Under the marquis, there is the earl, a third-class earl is a good product, and he is on the same level as his first-class Shenwei general!

So, how can a knighthood be so good?

Jia Lian said: "Back to the master, it's true, the holy decree issued by the emperor himself is not wrong." ”

Jia Yu's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "What about the holy decree, show me!" ”

"The Holy Purpose is in Baoyu's hands, and it is estimated that it will be taken to Rongqing Hall for the old lady to see at this time."

Jia Lian said, with a look of envy. He could imagine the expressions on the faces of Jia Mu and the others when Jia Baoyu took the golden and heavy holy decree of Mount Tai into the Rongqing Hall.

If only he could have this blessing......

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a black shadow suddenly coming, and then the sound of a heavy object hitting his face:

Syllable!

"Damn the evil obstacle, Lao Tzu asked you something!"

Jia Lian covered his face and looked at Jia Yu aggrievedly, but he didn't know what Jia Yu asked, so he just stood.

Jia Yu ignored him anymore, only frowning and pondering.

He was just unhappy in his heart just now, and he wanted to vent, but Jia Lian was distracted, of course he didn't hesitate to reward him with a slap.

Talking to my father is distracted, and I should be beaten.

Although he vented his emotions on Jia Lian, the more he thought about it, the more upset he became.

Even Jia Baoyu's kid has been knighted, and he is not lower than him, I still remember that he laughed at Jia Zheng's father and son in Ning'an Hall before, saying that he actually thought about passing the title to Jia Baoyu......

Although it was just talking, no matter how much I think about it now, I feel like I'm disgusting myself.

Thinking about it again, Jia Baoyu had always disrespected him, and he was even more angry, and couldn't help but scold:

"Damn little brute, if you get will, you will be rampant, and you can't even dare me to pass on him!"

Of course Jia Lian knew who Jia Yu was scolding, and he didn't dare to pick up the stubble, who knew if this old thing would vent his dissatisfaction with Jia Baoyu on him?

......

When Jia Baoyu and the others came to Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu and the others naturally made a lot of inquiries.

"Baoyu, did the Emperor really say that he wanted Ningguo Mansion to be your future earl's mansion?"

Mrs. Wang couldn't hold back her excitement for a long time, and her eyes were eager, as if she was afraid of hearing the slightest denial from Jia Baoyu's mouth.

It's really too big for her.

Ning Guofu, it is the same as Rongguo Mansion, a century-old Guogong Mansion, which represents great wealth.

At this time, she can't care about what was originally the property of a big house. Anyway, this is a royal gift, anyway, the people of Ning Guofu are dead......

Although she heard some time ago that Jia Qiang might be Jia Zhen's illegitimate child, she didn't care about it at the time, and now, she will definitely not admit it.

If the royal family really gave Ning Guofu to Jia Baoyu, no one could stop it! Jia Qiang must not be the heir of Ning Guofu, otherwise it will be an invisible obstacle to Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu probably knew Mrs. Wang's thoughts, and he didn't say anything else, but said: "The Emperor's holy edict can't be wrong." ”

Confirmed from Jia Baoyu's mouth, everyone in the hall couldn't help but gasp and open their mouths slightly.

Second Master Bao, this is going against the sky......

Jia Mu said: "What about the holy decree, take it out and I'll take a look!" ”

Jia Baoyu beckoned to the side, and the little guy who was in charge of holding the holy decree and was still at the age of the general horn bent over.

Jia Baoyu took out the holy decree of the reward and unfolded it in front of Jia Mu. The mandarin duck next to him hurriedly put reading glasses on Jia's mother, and seeing that the holy decree was quite long, he stretched out a hand to help Jia Baoyu unfold it.

Most of the others don't have the guts to touch it.

Mandarin ducks only followed Jia's mother and saw a lot of markets, so they dared. Rao was still a little nervous.

She had come into contact with a lot of royal gifts in the palace, but it was the first time she had touched the holy decree.

Jia Mu leaned over to look at the contents of the holy decree, and most of the others also gathered around to look. Only Jia Baoyu's gaze was inconsistent with the others, he was mainly looking at the amateur hand on the other end of the holy decree.

Well, although the mandarin duck's hands are not as tender as Daiyu's, they are slender and slender, and they are very clean, and they are dexterous hands at a glance.

Also, female workers are an essential skill for maids. Most of Jia's mother's personal things are made by mandarin ducks herself, so it's no wonder that Jia's mother likes her so much.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Qingwen's hands, which were also dexterous, and secretly made a comparison, and then felt that their hands were not as good as Xiangling, because Xiangling's hands had one more skillful skill than them......

Jia Mu read the content of the holy decree twice from beginning to end, and only after her mood calmed down did she ask, "Then, where are you going to live in the future?" Also, there is your sister-in-law Zhen in Ningguo's mansion, they ......"

Jia Mu sighed in her heart. If other mansions were given to Jia Baoyu by the royal family, they would definitely not hesitate to send someone over to drive all the people out, and then replace them with a batch of clean and reliable.

It's just that it's Ning Guofu, which is originally a family, which makes it a little difficult for them.

Thinking of You Shi again, I remembered that You Shi was a good person before, and he was filial to her, and he felt even more difficult.

You Shi's current identity is really embarrassing.

It stands to reason that Jia Zhen was cut down, and You also changed from a decree to a commoner woman, even if the royal family no longer added crimes to them, they should move out of the mansion and find another place to live.

But if Jia Baoyu does this, it will be too unkind, and it won't sound good to spread - even a widowed sister-in-law can't tolerate it?

But if they don't move out, how will Jia Baoyu treat them in the future?

Forget about the next person, those women, apart from the You family, are all Jia Baoyu's sisters-in-law, little nephews and daughters-in-law, by the way, Jia Jing also has a few aunts and wives who are still alive, that is the little uncle......

This is the reason why Feng Xiang brought the forbidden army over, he knew that the Jia family was not easy to do it himself.

Jia Baoyu put away the holy decree and put it back, and heard Jia's mother's words again, combined with what Feng Xiang had said before, so he became serious.

It seems that the battle for interests and status is really unsympathetic, and even Jia's mother is the first to consider this.

"Old lady, Baoyu thinks that no matter what, Uncle Jing is also an elder, and now he is in mourning, we can't drive Uncle Jing and their bodies out of the house now, right?

Anyway, I am now living in Yihong Courtyard, and I am not in a hurry to move into the Earl's Palace, so I will discuss this matter after Uncle Jing's funeral is completed.

For now, it's the same! ”

Jia Baoyu had to reiterate, otherwise he would not be allowed to come back from Xiyuan, Jia Mu and others had already helped him solve these "troubles".

In his opinion, such a large Guogong Mansion has many courtyards and houses...... You's definitely not going to take it away.

When Jia Mu heard this, she also nodded. She acted almost entirely from Jia Baoyu's point of view, if Jia Baoyu wanted to drive everyone out, this wicked person would let them do their best.

Jia Baoyu is a person who wants to do big things, and he must have a good reputation.

But since Jia Baoyu said so, she naturally didn't want to make more trouble, and she also felt that it was best to keep the current state first, otherwise someone would always talk about it secretly.

......

Aunt Xue took the two maids and slowly walked into the Wuyuan Garden, asked the maids about Baochai's location, and went inside.

As soon as I arrived at the door of Baochai's main house, I saw Baochai coming out of the front in a rare beautiful dress, obviously going out, and when I saw Aunt Xue, I was stunned at first, and then immediately stepped forward to greet her, and asked, "Why is my mother here?" ”

Aunt Xue glanced at her daughter first, and asked with a smile, "Where are you going?" ”

Bao Chai paused, but still said: "I heard that Brother Bao has received the holy decree again, I am going to go out and take a look." ”

It turned out that Wuyuan was in the deepest part of the Grand View Garden, and Baochai got the news late, so he didn't go out until now.

Aunt Xue smiled: "It's a great thing to get the holy decree." I heard that it was the Emperor Taishang who gave him a knighthood, an earl. ”

Baochai's heart was shocked, although the maid also said the same thing before, but Aunt Xue reiterated it now, and it was right to think about it again.

Seeing that her mother was looking at her again, she didn't dare to show more emotions, and only welcomed Aunt Xue into the house.

"When your brother Bao came to Nanjing, when I saw him for the first time, I knew that he was an extremely talented child, who knew that it had only been two or three years, and he had already reached this point, and even the title had already been obtained......

Alas, it would be nice if your brother had half the fortune of him. ”

Aunt Xue is a steady person, but she can't help but have a sour tone at this time. If it were someone else, Jia Baoyu was her nephew, and she also watched these incredible things happen to Jia Baoyu one by one, how could she be calm?

Thinking about her son again, three years older than Jia Baoyu, she was annoyed when she looked at that ghost......

If only she could have a son with her sister, she couldn't help but think.

When she looked up and saw Baochai silently pouring tea for her next to her, Aunt Xue waved her hand to stop it, and said, "Don't pour the tea, I'm here to ask you and me to go with me to congratulate your aunt, let's go." ”

As he spoke, he already stood up. Baochai also put down her movements, walked to Aunt Xue's side, and held her mother's arm.

Aunt Xue glanced at her. She naturally didn't forget that Mrs. Wang intended to give Baochai to Jia Baoyu at the beginning, but it was just to make people happy, Jia Baoyu was too dazzling, and even the Taishi Mansion rushed to marry her granddaughter to him, it was indeed not her daughter who was blessed.

Mother and daughter took a few maids to Rongguo Mansion, originally Aunt Xue wanted to call Li Kun and Yingchun together, who knew that when they went down the main mountain, they saw that the garden was almost empty, and when they asked, they all ran to Rongguo Mansion.

Aunt Xue shook her head, sure enough, everyone in the world loves to be lively and wealthy......

Walking through the Xiaoxiang Pavilion for a while, Aunt Xue didn't know what she remembered, and said to Baochai: "Your sisters are in this garden all day long, do you know that Lin Yatou and Baoyu are ......?"

Bao Chai naturally knew what her mother wanted to ask. Jia Baoyu and Daiyu had affection for each other before, and almost everyone knew it.

She, naturally, understands it more clearly. Just in the face of her mother's questioning, she just said: "Brother Bao and Lin Yatou have a deep relationship, and Brother Bao also dotes on Lin Yatou very much. ”

only mentions the love of brothers and sisters, and does not explain or slander the others.

Slander naturally does not rank up, and explanations are not needed. Jia Baoyu has already made a marriage, and Daiyu is everyone's best friend, and saying this kind of thing is a kind of "chewing the root of the tongue", so she naturally won't talk about it.

Besides, it wasn't her turn to explain.

Aunt Xue was not surprised, she knew that her daughter was cautious in her words. But in addition to her two personal maids, there was only one Ying'er, she had less worries, and sighed: "Speaking of which, it is strange that Lin Yatou went to her parents at such a young age, if your brother Bao is willing to take care of her, it is actually the best for her."

Although their ancestors are also liehous, they have completely declined after all.

Now that Baoyu has made the earl, if she is also married to the door, as the second lady of the earl's palace in the future, she will be more noble than ten thousand people. ”

Aunt Xue said this unintentionally, and she didn't belong to what Baochai said.

"I remember the last time the Emperor gave Baoyu a marriage, it seemed that Baoyu was still reluctant to come, do you know why?" Aunt Xue thought of this again.

Baochai said: "I heard that it seems that the second prince has some admiration for Miss Naye's family." ”

Baochai is very concerned about these things, and naturally knows a lot.

Aunt Xue was stunned for a moment, then didn't dare to ask again, returned to the topic of Daiyu, and said: "So, since Baoyu loves Lin girl so much, if she is the second lady of the Earl's Court in the future, she doesn't have to worry about being bullied, which is also a great blessing." ”

Aunt Xue is well-informed and knows that those noble families, it is not uncommon for the eldest lady to be suppressed by the second lady. Originally, the eldest woman was generally married by family, firstly, she may not be as good as others, and secondly, she was a woman from a noble background, and her personality was inevitably not pleasing to men's families.

For example, her sister Mrs. Wang has a little bit of this meaning. However, Aunt Zhao's own foundation is too poor, and the people are also poor, Jia Zheng is a humble gentleman, and there is Jia's mother above, which has not caused the phenomenon of favorite concubines fighting for power, and other mansions are not necessarily......

"What do you think?" Aunt Xue suddenly asked Baochai.

Baochai turned around, a little surprised, she seemed to understand why Aunt Xue said this.

Yes, if Jia Baoyu really likes it, as long as his foundation is not too bad, it is not too difficult to speak in the Earl's Palace. At least, you don't have to look at the face of the "eldest sister" completely.

If the eldest woman of a large family is not favored, she is also very powerless!

Baochai finally remembered something, Jia Baoyu had said before that he would give them higher honor, it turned out that it was so!

Now he has done it.

The second lady of the Earl's Court, Baochai felt that the knot in her heart in the past six months had almost been untied.

What's more, this will not be the end, in the future, maybe it will go one step further and become the Hou Mansion, and it will be another world.

Thinking of this, Baochai almost couldn't help but confess to her mother, saying that she also admired Jia Baoyu and begged her mother to fulfill it.

In her opinion, Aunt Xue has more than seventy percent chance and will be willing to fulfill her.

But in the end, she didn't either.

Perhaps, in the future, there will be a better time......
