Chapter 129: Relatives Come to the Door
Jia Jing's death did not cause any turmoil.
After all, he was killed by taking pills by himself, and he was not killed by others.
And his identity is not important, and the Jia family treats his death very plainly.
But even so, the emperor still personally issued a decree to give Jia Jing the post of five products, give a private funeral, Guanglu Temple according to the above example, the court by the prince below, allowed to sacrifice and hang.
With Jia Jing's status as a former jinshi, it is naturally impossible to be so favorable. This is all for Wang Xiao's sake.
Wang Xiao and Lin Ruhai had stakes, and together they won two important battles one after another. The influence among the military nobles is huge.
The generals have a lot of pursuits, but the following sergeants are very simple.
On weekdays, you can receive it on time, and in wartime, you can follow a commander who can win battles. Instead of ending up with the miserable fate of those colleagues under Wang Ziteng's command.
There is no doubt that Wang Xiao and Lin Ruhai are commanders who can win battles in the hearts of the sergeants at this time.
After the emperor issued an order, all the families in the capital, but all those who had some status came to pay respects.
All of a sudden, there was a lot of traffic on the public waiting street, and there were people everywhere.
It is estimated that Jia Jing himself didn't expect that no one cared about him when he was alive, and so many relatives and friends came out when he died.
The Jia family is rarely lively. Jia Zheng kept receiving visitors, and Jia's mother also had to deal with waves of noble generals' female dependents.
Even the big treasure face that escaped with great difficulty has to come out to do things and pick up customers.
During this period of military career, it really had a great impact on Dabao's face.
After returning to the Jia family, he was finally no longer the fairy image he had before who did not eat the fireworks of the world. At the very least, it's no longer like to lose your temper at every turn. Whenever Jia Zheng stretched his face, he would always subconsciously fall to the ground and hold his head with both hands, while pouting his hips.
The spiritual infusion rod in the army left him with indelible memories.
Jia's mother was distressed and cried again and again, and Jia Zheng also sighed for a long time and was reluctant to beat him again.
Another change is that every time it is time to eat, he turns into a hungry wolf, and eats nonsense, and he pours it into his mouth with a plate.
He was really starved in the army.
Dabao Face has never missed Mrs. Wang so much in his heart. Only when Mrs. Wang was there, he was protected and favored, and that was the happiest time of his life.
Jia Baoyu, who was standing outside the gate to greet the guests, was silently in a daze, and it was not until the group came over on horseback and sedan chair that he came back to his senses.
The young man on horseback was handsome, turned over and stepped forward to salute, "This little brother, dare to ask if this is Rongguo Mansion?" ”
Dabaomian who came back from the army habitually wore linen clothes, and he was itchy and uncomfortable if he didn't wear them for a day. He stood at the gate dressed in sackcloth, looking like he was looking at the door.
"This brother is polite." The etiquette of Dabao's face became more and more thoughtful: "This is the Rongguo Mansion." Dare to ask my brother Taigao's surname. ”
It's a little strange to come here, how do you call me a brother and a brother when you watch the door. Are the disciples of Rongguo Mansion so bullish?
"In Xia Xue Zhen, he is the nephew of Xue Gong of Ziwei She. Today, I brought my sister into the capital to meet my aunt. ”
Among the four families, the Xue family, the last generation was brilliant with two brothers.
One is Xue Baochai and Xue Pan's father, Xue Gong, a native of Ziweishe. The other is the younger brother of Xue Gong, a royal merchant who collects overseas curiosities for the royal family.
After the death of Xue Gong, Aunt Xue took Xue Baochai and Xue Pan to the capital to seek refuge in Rongguo Mansion. Most of the affairs in the south are taken care of by Xue Gong's brother.
However, Xue Zhen's father also died two years ago. Seeing that the business was declining, Xue Zhen took his sister north to join Aunt Xue.
They were busy on the road, and although they vaguely heard some news, they didn't know that the Wang family had bad luck and Aunt Xue's family was also implicated.
The unlucky Wang family has nothing to do with the Xue family, the unlucky ones are only the homes of Wang Ziteng's two sisters.
"Ah, it turned out to be Brother Shi."
Dabao's face was suddenly, and he hurriedly saluted, "Brother Shi is tired of traveling and driving, please go into the house to rest." ”
Xue Zhen looked at Dabao's face with a dark complexion, rough skin, and burlap clothes in confusion. I thought to myself, which one are you, why do you still call me brother?
However, he has a good character and excels in learning. didn't say anything on the spot, just said that there was a lot of work.
Dabao's face ordered someone to go to the inside to spread the word, and he led the Xue family's convoy into the house.
"Dare to ask Brother Taigao's surname?" Xue Zhen looked at Dabao's face commanding this and that, and felt that his status in the Jia family was not low.
"Oh, in Xia Jia Baoyu."
Xue Zhen was shocked, but he didn't expect that the second master of Bao, who was favored by the Jia family, in the uncle's letter, was so close to the people.
When they were about to officially greet the ceremony, Jia Mu, Jia Zheng and others who received the news had already come out to greet them.
At this time, the sedan chair finally fell, the maid stepped forward to open the sedan curtain, and a teenage girl walked out slowly.
The skin is better than snow, and the eyes are like a pool of clear water. Dressed in a long skirt, her temperament is extraordinary.
"Xue Baoqin, I've seen the old lady." The sound is soft and crisp, and it is extremely beautiful.
Dabao's face looked stupid directly. There is such a beautiful and moving girl in the world.
Mother Jia's smiling face has become a flower, and her favorite is this kind of beautiful little girl. personally stepped forward to take Xue Baoqin's hand and said yes repeatedly.
"Old lady, there are guests ahead, so I'll go first." Jia Zheng said goodbye after seeing the ceremony, and there were too many guests who came to visit in the past few days.
Xue Zhen sighed, "I have long heard that Rongguo Mansion is full of flowers, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”
In an era when communication could only be carried by letters and rubbs, they had no idea what was going on. Because the hanging white is only hung in Ningguo Mansion, not on the side of Rongguo Mansion.
Jia Mu's smile was a little stiff, looking at the face of the big treasure who was looking at Xue Baoqin obsessively, her heart turned and she said with a smile: "Brother Jing over there in Ningguo Mansion has gone to become an immortal." All the families in the capital came to pay their respects. However, Baoyu and his sister were promoted to the title of virtuous concubine some time ago. There are too many people coming to congratulate these days. ”
Jia Mu has nothing to brag about, so she can only use Jia Yuanchun to add glory to Dabao's face.
Xue Zhen was stunned.
On this side of the happy event and the funeral, he didn't know whether to say congratulations or mourning.
Xue Baoqin said weakly: "I don't know where the eldest aunt and Sister Baochai are?" ”
Dabao's gaze was too direct, which made her a little disliked.
Everyone in Rongguo Mansion was a little embarrassed when they asked this. The current identities of Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai are really unspeakable.
If you can't say anything, you have to say it, Jia Mu had to ask Mandarin Duck to go to Ning Guofu to inform about it.
Mandarin ducks like to run to Ning Guofu when they have nothing to do, and they are already familiar with the road.
She knew that Wang Xiao was impatient with these things to be sent to, and they all pushed Jia Zheng to do.
At this time, I am not accompanying the girls to play horse hanging, or fighting with whoever is fighting the landlord.
After wandering around a few yards, I came to the outside of Third Sister You's house, and I heard Third Sister You's stubborn voice coming from inside the house.
"You wait for me to rest and fight again, I will definitely win today."
Wang Xiao's ridicule followed, "Just you? Save it. You are the life of a pillar of incense. ”
The red-faced mandarin duck shouted outside, "Second master, there are relatives of the Xue family here in Rongguo Mansion." ”
After squirming inside for a while, Wang Xiao pushed open the door and tidied up his sleeves and walked out.
"Which relative?"
"It's Miss Xue's cousin and cousin who are here."
Wang Xiao thought for a while, and then suddenly said, "Oh, it's Xue Zhen and Xue Baoqin?" ”
Although Xue Baoqin was not counted among the twelve hairpins, her evaluation was very high. Proper talent and appearance.
As for Xue Zhen, he is also a rare outstanding young generation in the Dream of Red Mansions.
Wang Xiao turned to the room and left a sentence: "You rest first, and when I come back in the evening, we will continue to fight again." ”
Third Sister You snorted unwillingly, but she didn't speak outside because she was afraid of the mandarin duck.
Walking on the road with the mandarin duck, Wang Xiao looked at the girl next to him with two black and shiny braids and smiled and quipped, "How old is the mandarin duck this year, haven't you thought about getting married?" ”
The mandarin duck blushed and lowered his head, "I want to serve the old lady." ”
"Serving an old lady can't delay you either. Well, who did you like to tell me? I'll help you. ”
The mandarin duck looked at Wang Xiao resentfully, and said in his heart I have taken a fancy to you, are you willing?
Then I thought of the previous Third Sister You. It is said that this straightforward girl ran to Wang Xiao by herself, and learned from the Lin family girl to say that I like you, and then it became a thing. Shall I learn it too?
The mandarin duck who was entangled in his heart followed Wang Xiao all the way to the Xue family's courtyard. Xue Pan usually lives in the front yard and is busy, and Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai live here.
In the house, Aunt Xue was playing with Qingwen, You Shi and Second Sister You were hanging horses. Xue Baochai sat on the side and watched the battle with a fan.
After saying hello, Wang Xiao came to the red-faced Qingwen and quipped, "How can I see you on the card field any day, you like to play this so much?" ”
Qingwen is a real senior fan of horse cranes, known as a must-visit.
After listening to Wang Xiao's ridicule, he was not angry, but eagerly stretched out his little hand to him, "Jianghu emergency." ”
Qingwen's card skills are not very good, and her luck is average. Usually you lose more and win less.
Everyone was smiling, and Wang Xiao pinched a handful in her hand, "If you lose all of it, you will go to work." I didn't see that your two nainai and peace'er were busy and couldn't touch the ground. ”
After Qingwen followed Wang Xiao, she found that he was unexpectedly easy to talk to, and he never blushed with the girls. Her temperament is introverted, and she is completely like a fish in water by Wang Xiao's side.
He snorted twice and said, "The second master has something to do, let's talk about it quickly, we're all busy." ”
Wang Xiao raised his hand and pinched her pretty face, and looked at Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai, "Xue Zhen and Xue Baoqin are here, and they are now in Rongguo Mansion." ”
"Huh?"
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were a little surprised, they really didn't expect it.
But after the surprise, I was ashamed, and I didn't know how to face my relatives.
Wang Xiao comforted them, "It's not a big deal, it's not your fault." People come, and they can't even see each other. ”
Seeing Aunt Xue get up to leave, Qingwen was anxious.
"Second master, you called people away, and we will end up here."
Wang Xiao held the mandarin duck's shoulders and pressed her in Aunt Xue's position. also winked at Qingwen, "You go on, the mandarin duck is a little rich woman." Win more. ”
