Chapter 687: Ancestor Worship

And at this time, the queen mother who was kneeling in front of Jia's mother also understood that what happened just now was indeed a bit rude, after all, now Jia Ke is the current emperor, and they are still pointing at Jia Ke, so that the Empress Dowager Zhou can't get off the stage, Jia Ke can be happy in her heart?

So the Queen Mother hurriedly gave Jia Baoyu a look to the messenger who was kneeling beside her.

Although Jia Baoyu is not good at reading, he is clever at the moment, he doesn't understand when he sees this kind of scene, he is a little Meng Lang doing things just now.

So he knelt there and kowtowed to Jia's mother again and again, "Lafayette, I did something a little unsatisfactory just now, and I ask Lafayette to forgive me." ”

Jia Mu glanced at Jia Baoyu, who was kneeling there, and was a little unbearable, so she opened her mouth to persuade: "Don't hurry up and give the Empress Dowager Zhou a gift." ”

Where does Jia Baoyu dare to have a little pride now, he didn't even dare to stand up, so he knelt down and crawled in front of the Empress Dowager Zhou, kowtowing again and again.

Empress Dowager Zhou didn't understand what happened just now, because when she was in Rongguo Mansion before, it was common for Jia Baoyu to look down on their aunts, and she still didn't have a complete understanding of her identity.

But now she understands how noble your identity is, although Jia Baoyu has kowtowed to herself, but she is still a little unhappy in her heart, but for the sake of Jia's mother's face, she can only reluctantly help Jia Baoyu with a smile and comfort a few words.

And Jia Ke is still sitting there expressionlessly without saying a word, neither forgiving Jia Baoyu nor punishing Jia Baoyu.

And Jia Huan, who was standing below, now had his eyes rolling, and he could already see that Jia Baoyu was no longer liked by Jia Ke.

So Jia Huan came out of the crowd, first came to Aunt Zhou, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Child Jia Huan, please say hello to the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother live a long life." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou listened to Jia Huan's words, and her face was really smiling, she really helped Jia Huan up this time, and then patted his clothes, which made him retreat.

And Jia Ke sat there and nodded, thinking that this fourth brother still has eyesight, and he can give him some benefits in the future.

And Jia Zheng sat there and didn't say a word until now, he is now in a dilemma, he has nothing to say, and as the saying goes, he is neither deaf nor dumb, and he is not a family. Sometimes it's a good thing for him to be deaf and dumb as a father.

Seeing this, Jia Mu avoided being reluctantly accepted, and didn't want to be entangled any longer, so she said directly to Jia Ke: "Emperor, our family's close branches are here now, right?" ”

Jia Ke hurriedly stood up and said to Jia Mu, "The people from Ning Rong's Second Mansion have already arrived. ”

Jia Mu nodded, and then ordered: "Since the people have arrived, go to the Fengxian Hall to kowtow to the ancestors first." ”

So Jia Mu stood up first and walked out of Ningshou Palace with the support of Mandarin Duck.

When they arrived outside the main hall of Ningshou Palace, they were already ready to get off the chariot, and then Jia Mu got on the first chariot first, followed by Jia Zheng and Jia Ke, and then the queen mother of the two palaces.

The rest of the people, even Jia Yu, could only follow behind the chariot on two legs.

When everyone came to the Fengxian Palace, it was brilliantly lit, and there were eunuchs standing on both sides.

And the main hall of the Fengxian Hall has been opened, and there is cigarette smoke inside.

Jia's mother got out of the car, and with the support of Jia Zheng and Jia Ke, she took the close branch of the Jia clan into the Fengxian Palace.

Looking at the portrait of Jia's mother on the top of the Fengxian Palace, the first one is Jia Yuan, the Duke of Rongguo, and the portrait next to him is Jia Yan, the Duke of Ningguo.

Originally, the portrait of Jia Yuan, the Duke of Ningguo, was not qualified to be offered here, but Jia Muli overrode public opinion, saying that the Jia family was earned by the two grandfathers of the country desperately, and now the Jia family is finally glorious, and there is not only one person who enjoys the worship here, so this is for the two ancestors.

There is only one portrait under these two ancestors, and that is Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo, that is, the husband of Jia's mother.

Mother Jia looked at it for a long time, and the tears on her face flowed involuntarily, she was cautious for so many years, and now she finally got her will, but thinking about her husband who was gone, she felt a little worthless.

Jia Zheng saw Jia Mu standing there stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward and said softly: "Queen Mother, the time is almost up, and if you delay it any longer, it will be an auspicious time." ”

Jia's mother immediately came to her senses, and then took the Jia center to kowtow to the ancestors, and after a cumbersome ceremony, these people once again withdrew from the Fengxian Palace, and the main entrance of the Fengxian Hall was closed again.

From then on, the main gate of the temple was not opened, but there were eunuchs who put fresh tributes for the temple every day and burned incense three times a day.

After everyone left Fengxian Palace, they returned to Jia Mu's Ningshou Palace.

Mother Jia sat in the center, and when she saw the children and grandchildren next to her, the smile on her face couldn't stop.

Now she is the most noble woman in the world, worshiped by the people of the world, and there are so many grandsons by her side to fulfill her filial piety, what is not satisfied?

Jia Zheng and Jia Yu saw that the etiquette was over, so they came over and kowtowed to Jia's mother to say goodbye, and the two of them wanted to go to the Taihe Hall in front of them to prepare for tonight's night banquet.

According to the rules, every Chinese New Year's Eve night, the royal family would feast the guests, and invite the ministers of culture and military affairs to the Taihe Palace, and the princes and subjects would enjoy together.

Mother Jia knew that they were busy and didn't leave them behind, waved their hands to let them retreat, and then the close branches of the Jia family also kowtowed and left, leaving only Mother Jia, Jia Baoyu, Jia Ke and a few others in the hall.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Jia Mu saw that Jia Baoyu was about to leave, and felt a little reluctant, so she turned her head and said to Jia Ke: "Emperor, Baoyu is not in the house yet, and it is really lonely to be alone in King Rong's mansion, so it is better to leave him in the palace for a few days and accompany me, the old lady." ”

Jia Ke was a little unhappy when he heard this, what kind of place is this palace? This is a three-foot forbidden land, Jia Baoyu is such a big person, and his reputation is not very good, he is rolling among the flowers, once there is any trouble, it is not good to say.

But looking at Jia Mu's expectant eyes, he swallowed back the rebuttal that came to his mouth, and could only nod his head slightly, which was considered to be agreed to Jia Mu's request.

When Jia Mu heard this, she was immediately overjoyed and said to Jia Baoyu next to her: "Why don't you hurry up and thank your eldest brother." ”

After Jia Baoyu made a mistake just now, he was silent until now, and he didn't say a word, and now he heard Jia's mother's instructions, so he came to Jia Ke and saluted him.

Jia Ke looked Jia Baoyu up and down, and nodded to accept his apology.

Next was the big banquet that night, and Jia Ke naturally couldn't be absent.

This time, Jia Ke took his two sons, King Wu and King Chu, to the Taihe Palace, and sat in front of the imperial case in the center amid the congratulatory voices of all the civil and military officials, and let the two children sit on either side of him.

The annual Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the Taihe Hall has a program, and it is really impossible to eat anything good if you want to eat.

Therefore, the ministers of civil and military affairs regard this as an opportunity to connect with their feelings, and as for eating, they should eat their own when they go home.

In this way, after the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet ended, Jia Ke went back to rest, everything this year is over, and then Jia Ke can rest during the fifteenth day of the first month.

Jia Ke made another holy decree on the first day of the first month, and on the fifteenth day of the first month, the curfew was lifted in the capital, and the people could come out at night to watch the lanterns, so that the world could have fun.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, everything returned to calm, and Jia Ke was newly opened to deal with the country's major affairs.

And the first major event of the next new year is Enke, which is the first imperial examination since Jia Ke ascended the throne, and Jia Ke attaches great importance to it.

This time, Jia Ke appointed the Military Aircraft Department, the foreman Sun Yan as the chief examiner, and his teacher Li Wenbin continued to serve as the deputy chief examiner.

The news of Enke has spread all over the world, and the world's lifters have now gathered in the capital, and many have even come before the Chinese New Year.

After Sun Yan served as the chief examiner, he stayed at home, cautious and cautious, afraid of leaving a handle for others.

In fact, Sun Yan is still anxious about one thing in his heart now, that is, will that little boy come this year?

Now Sun Yan can't wait for this little boy to come quickly, and then be wiped out by Jia Ke, and he can be completely relaxed when the time comes, although he has completely surrendered to Jia Ke over the years, but he still follows Jia Ke's orders, and the little boy is guilty of grievances, which makes him very uncomfortable.

Sure enough, on this day, Sun Yan was in the study, drinking alone, when suddenly there was a falling sound outside the study, as if something had fallen to the ground, and then the door of the study was knocked three times.

Sun Yan was clever when he heard this voice, this was the secret signal for the little boy to contact him, Sun Yan had no choice but to get up and open the door.

The woman at the door was still covered in black gold, and after she entered the study sideways, she closed the door of the study again, and the two of them sat down in the study.

Sun Yan was silent for a moment before he said, "What are the instructions from the son?" ”

The masked woman said with a smile: "Our son has already entered the capital, this time to participate in Enke, the son is bound to win, fortunately you are the chief examiner, it shouldn't be a problem at that time, right?" ”

Sun Yan raised his eyes and glanced at her, "Do you think I can really call the shots?" My deputy chief exam, is the emperor's teacher back then, his status is not much lower than mine, if our son's article is too bad, I can't deal with it. ”

The woman frowned, then asked, "What about the exam questions?" You're the examiner, you should know the questions, right? ”

"What do you want? The emperor didn't discuss the exam questions with us at all, and we didn't know until the day the exam started. ”

The woman thought for a moment, and then said, "Childe's article is still good, but compared with those people, I'm afraid there is still a bit of a gap." Let's think of a code, and when you see this article, you'll know it's the little boy's. ”

This requirement is exactly what Sun Yan meant, "I don't think it's better to appear two times in a row in the article, I know that it is the little son's article at a glance, and I can give the son a deal when the time comes." ”

The woman saw that this method was okay, so she stopped dwelling, and then disappeared silently, just like when she came.

Sun Yan sat alone in the study, looking at the direction in which the woman had disappeared, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
