Chapter 533: Concubines
In the next few days, the Rongguo Mansion and the Yanguo Mansion began to be lively.
As soon as people in the neighborhood inquired, they found out that the Jia family was handling the marriage of Jia Ke, the uncle of the Jia family, and Shi Xiangyun.
Although Jia Ke is only taking a concubine this time, Shi Xiangyun is Jia's mother's mother's family, so it is also very lively.
And after Jia Ke got the notice, he didn't take this matter to heart, after all, he is not a serious wife, he is also busy with official business now, just go to that day to salute Shi Xiangyun, and then enter the cave room, can't he do other things himself?
Although Jia Ke didn't take this matter to heart, the officials who were up and down couldn't help but take it to heart.
Now anyone with a discerning eye can already see that Jia Ke is Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it.
Therefore, countless officials are waiting to befriend Jia Ke, and this time Jia Ke is the right time to take a concubine.
So on the day of Jia Ke's concubine, countless officials came to congratulate him, and the small street of Rongning Street could not accommodate so many adults at all, so Liu Yu, who maintained order, could only arrange a place for these adults to go to the carriage and sedan chair outside Rongning Street, and these adults could only walk into the vicinity of Rongguo Mansion.
Speaking of which, these adults are also pampered, if they were allowed to walk in somewhere else, many people would be furious, but now these people are lining up one by one to follow the rules, and then give the gift list at the door of the Yanguo Mansion.
And Jia Ke is now sitting in the Wuwei Hall, the main hall of the Yanguo Mansion, accepting the worship of the officials who came to congratulate him.
Ordinary officials are not qualified to come to see Jia Ke alone, they are just arranged to come to meet with four or five people, Jia Ke nodded when he saw them.
In the larger officials, Jia Ke is only arched. When he reached the rank of Minister of Military Aircraft of the Six Ministers, Jia Ke would stand up to greet him.
When the officials almost came, they held a banquet on the Wuwei Hall and the courtyard in front of the Wuwei Hall.
Because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, the weather is very cold, so the Jia family's banquet this time did not serve any stir-fried dishes of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but put a big copper hot pot on each table, and all kinds of dishes flowed up.
Jia Ke was there to greet the dignitaries who came to celebrate, and from time to time a small servant came to report.
"Uncle, the old lady asked you to come over."
Jia Ke was stunned when he heard this, he was a happy day today, the old lady had just met, and now what was going on, he wanted to greet him again.
"Is there someone important coming to the old lady?"
The little guy glanced at Jia Ke carefully, then lowered his head and said, "It seems that my aunt's uncle came to congratulate him." β
Jia Ke frowned after hearing this, it was the second uncle of the villagers who took refuge in him, and now he was hugging the money in Yangzhou and was happy, so it turned out to be Shi Xiangyun's third uncle, Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding.
However, this person has no contact with Rongguofu, and he is the emperor's person, but since he came, he still has to see him.
Jia Ke then followed the little guy to Jia's mother's room, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw Jia's mother sitting in the middle, accompanied by a dignified middle-aged man.
Jia Ke did not slack off, and went over to salute Jia's mother first.
Mother Jia saw Jia Ke coming, and then pointed to the middle-aged man next to her with a smile and said, "This is also your uncle, Zhongjing Marquis Shi Ding, you go up to see the ceremony." β
Before Jia Ke stepped forward to salute, Shi Ding, who was sitting on the side, had already quickly stood up and saluted him in front of Jia Ke.
Where did Jia Ke dare to let him salute himself in front of Jia's mother, he hurriedly stepped forward a few steps to support Shi Ding, and then bowed to Shi Ding.
Jia's mother looked at Jia Ke's performance and nodded, feeling that her grandson had not embarrassed herself.
After Jia Ke saluted, he and Shi Ding sat down separately, and then they said some compliments to each other, on the surface enthusiastic, but there was a strong estrangement in it.
Jia Mu also saw that these two people were uncomfortable with each other, and when she saw that they said a few words, she sent Jia Ke away.
As soon as Jia Ke returned to the table, he was stopped by those nobles, and instead of forcing Jia Ke to drink, Jia Ke went out to toast the guests at each table after drinking a few glasses, and then returned to Wuwei Hall and thanked these military ministers and the six scholars, and then went back to the back house.
At this time, in the Yanguo Mansion, in a small courtyard with gorgeous decoration, the lights were colorful, and the courtyard was full of pink hues.
And in the main room of this courtyard, Shi Xiangyun was wearing a pink wedding dress and was already sitting on the bed. And standing next to her was his maid, Emerald Wisp.
Then there were a few girls standing in the room, the girls that Qin Keqing had just dialed for Shi Xiangyun, these people were gorgeously decorated, their faces were delicate, and they looked neat and tidy.
Although Cui Wei followed Shi Xiangyun to Rongguo Mansion several times, it was the first time she came to the courtyard where Jia Ke lived.
Although she stood next to Shi Xiangyun, her eyes looked around, only to see that the house was carved with beams and embroidered pillars, Yunding sandalwood as beams, crystal jade as lamps, pearls as curtains, and Fan Jin as pillar bases. The six-foot-wide agarwood bed is hung next to the shark silk treasure tent, and the tent is embroidered with pearls and silver thread begonia flowers, and the wind is moving, like falling clouds and mountains and phantom seas. The couch is set up with a green jade incense pillow, covered with soft silkworm ice sticks, and stacked with jade belts.
Such a scene, she even could not dream of it.
Now I can't help but feel glad for their young lady, to be able to marry such a family, and to be able to live a life of fine clothes and fine food is also good.
Cui Wei looked left and right for a while, seeing that the time was not early, and said softly to their young lady Shi Xiangyun: "Miss, it's almost time to hold the lamp, are you hungry?" I'll bring you some osmanthus cake. β
Shi Xiangyun was very nervous now, how could she have the heart to eat, so she didn't speak, just stretched out her hand and grabbed Cuiwei's sleeve.
Cui Wei understood that Shi Xiangyun was making him not have much to do, so he could only continue to stand there bored, waiting for Jia Ke to come.
Now when the lights are on, the old lady outside suddenly said, "Grandpa is here, Mrs. Ru is waiting for you in the house." β
Then I heard footsteps and the sound of the door opening.
After Jia Ke saw the house, the other maids in the house hurriedly gave Jia Ke ten thousand blessings.
Jia Ke waved his hand to let them exit, and now only Cui Wei and Shi Xiangyun were left in the house.
Brother Jia is a concubine today, not a concubine, so there are no ordinary clichΓ©s.
Jia Ke came directly to Shi Xiangyun and gently lifted the hijab with a bamboo pole.
This is the first time I carefully watched Shi Xiangyun's appearance, and I saw that Shi Xiangyun's face was pink, and the autumn waves were hearty, although his face was immature, but his face was full of chivalry. Heroic and spacious, bright and warm, optimistic and open-minded, chic and unrestrained.
Jia Ke looked at Shi Xiangyun like this, and he was a little stunned.
And Cui Wei, who was standing next to her, laughed stupidly.
This woke Jia Ke up, and Shi Xiangyun now began to blush.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Jia Ke smiled and said to Shi Xiangyun: "My sister has been sitting here for a day, but she is a little hungry. β
Shi Xiangyun raised his head and said heartily: "Yes, it's boring to sit here for a day, and my stomach is already grunting with hunger, but there are still those maid sisters I don't know standing next to me, and I am afraid that they will laugh at it, so I have endured it until now." β
Jia Ke looked at Shi Xiangyun unabashedly, but instead widened his eyes and talked to him very fondly.
This Jinling Twelve Hairpins really has a benefit, and it really deserves to be the spirit of the world's luck.
Next, Jia Ke helped Shi Xiangyun to the table next to her and asked her to eat and drink some cushions for her stomach.
And Shi Xiangyun seemed to be really hungry, which was a violent meal on the table, and finally Jia Ke saw that she had eaten too much, and was afraid that she would eat her stomach, so he pulled her away.
In the end, Cui Wei made the bed and stacked quilts for Shi Xiangyun and Jia Ke.
Only then did these two blow out the red candle, and Jia Ke came to a dragon and phoenix play, if this is in modern times, it can be regarded as three years of blood and death penalty is not a loss.
On the second day, Jia Ke naturally got up early and went to the Prime Minister's Yamen next to him to deal with national affairs.
And Shi Xiangyun also had to drag his tired body up to serve Jia Ke, but Jia Ke did not pity the jade.
Instead, he stretched out his hand and waited for Shi Xiangyun to dress him, and then ate breakfast on the small table in Shi Xiangyun's house before leaving.
And Shi Xiangyun sat on the bed after Jia Ke left, and he was a little tired and couldn't stand up.
Cui Wei said distressedly on the side: "Miss, you better hurry up and rest." Uncle doesn't know that he feels sorry for people and tires you like this. β
Shi Xiangyun's face turned red when she heard this, Cui Wei didn't know what happened yesterday, but she had a personal feeling, and now she still feels shy when she thinks about it.
So Shi Xiangyun hurriedly changed the topic, "It's not time to rest yet, you come over and dress me up, let's go to the main room in a while and meet Sister Qin." β
At this time, the voice of a little maid outside the house sounded: "Auntie, are you up?" Do slaves and maidservants need to go in and serve? β
Shi Xiangyun has only had Cui Wei since he was a child, and he is not very accustomed to serving other people, so he said directly to the window: "No need, there are wisps in the house, and I will call you again if there is something." β
Cui Wei listened to Shi Xiangyun's words, the smile on her face became even stronger, and she jumped up and took out Shi Xiangyun's jewelry box.
Then it was placed on the dresser specially built for Shi Xiangyun.
To say that Shi Xiangyun's jewelry, in addition to part of his mother's dowry, Jia's mother also sent her a lot of dowries for her lonely sake, and Jia Ke also secretly sent a few treasures to let her press the bottom of the box.
Shi Xiangyun randomly chose a peach-colored cover in the clothes cabinet in the house. Then I came to the dresser, just inserted a few gold hairpins, and then brought pearl and diamond earrings. Looking left and right in the mirror, I feel quite satisfied.
Cui Wei kept praising on the side, Shi Xiangyun stood up and came to a dressing mirror, looking left and right in front of the mirror, she always felt that something was missing.
"Wei'er, come and take a look, I always feel that something is wrong."
Cui Wei had actually been standing next to Shi Xiangyun for a long time, but looking up and down, left and right, he felt that there was nothing wrong, Shi Xiangyun's dress today was a little better than usual.
"Miss, everything is fine, there is nothing wrong."
Shi Xiangyun looked in the mirror and said suspiciously: "Really? But I always felt like something was missing. β
Shi Xiangyun thought about it for a long time, and unintentionally put his hand on his waist, and suddenly understood. It turned out that the treasure knife was missing.
This treasure knife is a token given by Jia Ke to Shi Xiangyun, Shi Xiangyun has loved it since he received it, and he never left his side.
Yesterday, Shi Xiangyun was newly married, and it was unlucky to dance with a knife and a gun in the new house, so Jia's mother specially warned her that this treasure knife should be put in the box first.
After Shi Xiangyun figured it out, he immediately came to his cabinet next to the corner of the table, and after opening the cabinet, he found the treasure knife at the bottom of his clothes.
Then he touched it lovingly in his hand, and finally wore it on his waist.
When Shi Xiangyun came to the mirror again, it was still the same clothes, but Shi Xiangyun, who was carrying a knife, had an extra heroic aura on his body, which was a neutral beauty full of heroism and pride.
Shi Xiangyun is only satisfied now.
Then Xiangyun went out of the room with the support of Cui Wei, and there were already three or four girls waiting there outside the house, and they saw Shi Xiangyun come out and salute her together.
Shi Xiangyun just nodded to them, and then took the lead and walked outside the house. When I got out of the courtyard, I thought that I didn't know where the main house of the Yanguo Mansion was?
"A few of you are leading the way in front, let's go see Sister Qin."
Shi Xiangyun ordered that two maids in her life should immediately split out of the team and go to the front to show her the way.
And Shi Xiangyun walked forward while watching the scenery of the Yanguo Mansion.
I saw that this Yanguo Mansion was completely different from the Bowling Mansion where she lived for a long time.
The scenery here is full of vitality, not as decayed and withered as the Bowling Mansion.
