Chapter 8 Passing Liu's Mansion to Worship Birthday and Meet the Holy Decree
Early the next morning, Jia Qing was called to get up by Luan Peifeng. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Cuiliu stopped serving in front of her two years ago, not because she didn't want to, but because Jia Qing didn't want her to work so hard, so he gave her the west wing room in the courtyard to live, which meant to let her recuperate.
Cuiliu was unwilling, but seeing that the two girls around her had already "left the school", she couldn't bear to brush Jia Qing's intentions, so she had to agree, but she came to his house every day to take care of her.
Watching the two young and beautiful maids dress him neatly and make the bed, not to mention how beautiful it is. I forgot about setting rules for them yesterday.
After cleaning up, of course, it can't compare with the pomp of the big face treasure, but it is depraved enough, but Jia Qing likes it very much......
I went to greet Jia Jing first, and met Jia Rong and his wife who also came to ask for peace outside Jia Jing's house.
"My nephew asks my second uncle for peace"
"Daughter-in-law greets the second uncle"
"En", he doesn't like Jia Rong's nephew very much, it's too soft, Jia Zhen can scare him with a look on weekdays. Jia Jing has a preference for Jia Qing, and he is a little afraid of Jia Qing. Sometimes he doesn't understand where he has eaten for sixteen or seven years.
What Jia Qing didn't know was that Jia Zhen was submissive in front of Jia Jing on weekdays, and she was polite in front of him. However, since he was a child, in front of Jia Rong, his father was very sloppy, and if he was slightly disagreeable, he would either beat or scold.
Jia Rong is not like Jia Baoyu, she is protected by her grandmother. At his grandmother's place, Jia Zhen is the meat of his heart.
However, compared to Jia Rong, he likes the gentle and lovely Qin Keqing. This liking is not what he likes, he is only seven years old!
nodded to Keqing, looked like an elder with his hands behind his back, and stepped into the house first.
As everyone knows, how cute and funny his style is in Qin Keqing's eyes, it's just that he can't laugh out loud.
The three of them took turns to enter the house, You Shi was in the hall, and she also came to ask for peace. In the Manchu Mansion, she is the only one who is the most diligent.
"I've seen my father, I've seen my sister-in-law."
Jia Rong and the others also saluted, and then Jia Jing instructed You Shi and Qin Keqing: "You go back first, you don't have to be busy here." ā
"Yes, daughter-in-law retires"
As he spoke, he stepped back, and when he passed by the middle hall, You Shi still smiled at Jia Qing.
This sister-in-law is too good at being a person, which will make me think more, I am a soul in my twenties......
"You're all ready?"
After the two of You left, Jia Jing said to Jia Qing and Jia Rong.
The two said yes, and the gentlemen don't need to be served by maids when they go out, which is very convenient. Then Jia Jing summoned Lai Sheng: "Are all the carriages and horses ready?" ā
"If you go back to the master, you're ready."
So they set out......
The street where Liu's mansion is located has long been full of people.
When Jia Qing and his party arrived, they had to get off the sedan car a little earlier. Lai Sheng stepped forward to deliver the invitation. Immediately, Liu Mansion said: "Master Jing of Ningguo Mansion led everyone in the mansion to come to congratulate~"
At this time, the person in charge of receiving in the front hall was Liu Yong's son, Liu Xiangbai, the current left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and his expression was Bo Ran. After hearing the news, he walked quickly to the front yard, and before he went out, he said: "My father's birthday banquet, Brother Jia is here, and Liu is grateful." ā
"Brother Bai Ran is polite, it is an honor for the younger generation to congratulate the eldest on his birthday."
"Haha, don't talk much, Brother Jia, please"
"Brother Boran, please ......"
When I arrived at the front yard of Liu's house, there was a lotus pond of more than ten acres in the middle. The water stains are clear, there is a central pavilion in the middle, and the surrounding rocks and carved railings are exquisitely chiseled, and you can know that it is always maintained at a glance.
At this time, there were about twenty or thirty tables set up around the lotus pond, and since it was still early, most of them only served tea and snacks. All the big and small officials, wealthy nobles and nobles in Beijing, who are not of sufficient grade, only send congratulatory gifts, and those who can enter the door are all high-ranking officials and nobles who have received invitations.
After Jia Rong entered the mansion, he went to find acquaintances, and he also knew a few ointment children.
And Jia Qing followed Jia Jing as a junior, and was led into the central pavilion by Liu Boran, which is the privilege of children.
There are only three tables in the central pavilion, and only a few people are seated at this time. After seeing each other, Jia Jing sat down at the table on the right, and Jia Qing stood behind Jia Jing.
Then it's time for them to talk freely. After a few quarters of an hour, there were more people, and Jia Qing gradually discovered a problem.
At the top of the table, there are all people with civil official titles, either Shangshu or squire or something. The table on the left is full of generals, all in charge, commanders. Jia Jing's side is all nobles, such as Niu Jizong, the current first-class earl after the same eighth duke, is here.
He felt that the ancients were too particular, and there were so many rules for celebrating a birthday and eating.
Of course, it doesn't mean that there are only a few important ministers of the country, these are all good friends with the Liu Mansion. Most of the other important ministers, princes and nobles only sent their children to come in order to avoid suspicion, and the younger generations were naturally not qualified to sit here.
He didn't notice that the people from Rongguofu were coming......
There were more and more people, and the whole courtyard became more and more noisy.
Suddenly, a loud voice sounded:
"Brother Jia, is this your old son? I heard that Yu Yu has a talent for reading. ā
"Brother Qin praised it falsely, he is just a naughty boy, where can he read any books."
This Brother Qin said again: "Why should Brother Jia be humble, if not, how can you take it with you personally?" Who doesn't know that Brother Jia, you are the most elegant person. These words immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all silently looked at Jia Qing, who had been standing quietly behind Jia Jing.
Seeing so many people looking at him, his face did not change, and everyone present was a human spirit, and he couldn't help but feel that this son didn't say anything else, and this concentration alone was much stronger than ordinary children.
Brother Qin doesn't think so, in his eyes, his youngest son is the best. Seeing that he had successfully hooked up the topic, he was about to throw out his purpose, but he was preempted by an old voice.
"Old decay is late, I hope you will forgive your sins."
I saw Liu Boran leading an old man and a young man into the pavilion. The young ones are only in their twenties, and the old ones are too old at a glance, with white temples, and a crutch around them, and they walked in tremblingly with the support of the two of them.
didn't say it, this old man is Liu Yong.
Sure enough, all the adults got up to greet each other, and they didn't dare to say anything.
After Liu Yong sat down on the first place, Liu Boran apologized to everyone and walked out of the pavilion, and he had to greet others.
The young man silently stood behind Liu Yong's seat, obviously taking care of Liu Yong.
After a little conversation, Liu Yong stood up, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and was held by the young man behind him.
"Today, Liu Mou is cheap, thanks to everyone's attention, the old man will drink a cup first!" Talking and doing it all.
The others, including everyone around the pool, stood up, picked up their cups, and replied in unison, "I wish you a long and blessed life, and good health!" "Let's have a drink together.
After singing a song, they all sat down again.
It's like a rehearsal......
As soon as the first glass of wine was drunk, the feast officially began.
It was less than a tea time, and everyone only heard an announcement from the front door:
"The prince of Beijing drove to ......"
Everyone was surprised, Wang Jia generally did not come in person on this occasion, and he asked juniors or chief historians and housekeepers to come forward on his behalf, and this King of Beijing still came after the banquet.
After a few breaths, I saw Liu Boran accompany a man in a yellow robe and two or three guards into the courtyard.
I saw that this man was only a crown year, his face was like beautiful jade, his eyes were like stars, and he was really a beautiful character.
Everyone hurriedly walked out of the pavilion, but saw Liu Yong almost walking like a fly, walking in the front.
Damn, this old man Liu is not an honest person, he just looked like he was going to die......
"The prince is coming, and the old man has never been far away, looking at the prince Haihan." As he spoke, he bowed, and the others bowed.
King Shui Rong of Beijing hurriedly stepped forward to support Liu Yong, and said: "Boss Liu is serious, the eldest has a big birthday, and the juniors should have come in advance, but the juniors have the emperor's order today, and when the juniors finish their errands, they will compensate the elders and the adults." ā
said, did not give everyone polite time, and said directly:
"Boss Liu takes the order"
