Chapter 158: The Marquis Banquet
Jia Lian's words were like a thunderbolt, hitting everyone's hearts.
It's only been a few days since he became a first-class general, and now he has been made a marquis again, this news is too surprising.
Jia Mu stood up suddenly, and said excitedly: "Lian'er, this is true, when is this happening?" โ
Jia Lian said: "Old lady, how dare your grandson lie to you, this matter is true, it was Manager Dai who asked me to tell me, the good news sent by the eight hundred miles urgently yesterday, the holy decree has been sent to Liaodong." โ
"Okay, good, good, hahahaha, Brother Cong is so angry, what did you just say? Killed the Great Khan of the barbarians? โ
Jia Lian said: "Yes, the old ancestor, I heard that he killed the great khan and old slave of the barbarians, and also wiped out his elite troops, Bayala, in a battle. โ
Xichun asked, "Old lady, what is the Great Khan?" Is it a big official? โ
Although Mother Jia doesn't care about the outside world, after all, she has been with Lao Guogong for decades, and she was also the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion before she got married, so she still has some knowledge.
said with a smile: "The Great Khan is the emperor, Brother Cong killed the emperor of the barbarians, but he was a little small to be a marquis, and he should have suffered too young." โ
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they actually killed the emperor of other people, which is too unbelievable.
Mother Jia didn't expect that in just a few days, Brother Cong would actually do such a big thing again.
This grandson is really amazing, this ability is too big, it is easy to go on like this, if he is not too young, I am afraid he is already a prince of the country now.
I knew that he was so capable, so I wouldn't let him succeed to Dongfu.
Although he is still his own grandson, he already belongs to the Ningfu lineage in name.
Thinking about it carefully, this kid is really lucky, he has been tossing since he was nine years old, and the more he tosses, the stronger he becomes, he has never lost, and even the things that were impossible to succeed have been done by him.
If it weren't for the strong support of the channel, how could it have been possible to do this.
It's just these few credits, which one of them is not fought for, especially the killing of the barbarian Great Khan, which is almost impossible to do.
It seems that the Jia family is really going to rise again, and when she thought of this, Jia's mother was suddenly excited.
The nobles in this capital are also divided into three, six, nine and so on.
In the past, the four kings and eight princes were all powerful and belonged to the top nobles in the capital, and they were even stronger than those princes of the royal family.
Now the status of the four county kings, although it has also declined, is not very different from before.
But the families of the Eight Great Princes are no longer as good as before, and they have begun to fall to the bottom of the nobles, and only an empty shelf remains.
At this time, the rise of Brother Cong directly made the Jia family return to the ranks of the top nobles again, and they even had the confidence to speak.
This Brother Cong was sent by God to save the Jia family.
Mother Jia was in a happy mood, and laughed and said: "Brother Cong is really the lucky star of my Jia family, reward, reward, so that the people of the two mansions are also happy." โ
Wang Xifeng was also very happy in his heart, Jia Cong was his own brother-in-law, and the relationship between the two families had always been very good, with Ping'er, the relationship between the two families was even closer.
Now that Jia Cong has become Hou Ye, he is Hou Ye's sister-in-law, and his status is also rising, and his status is not small.
Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Congratulations to the ancestor, congratulations to the ancestor, Brother Cong really gave the ancestor a long face this time, and our Jia family has also risen again, I will notify the people when I turn around and go to me to get the silver." โ
When Ping'er heard the news, she was shocked, happy, and worried at the same time.
Fighting for wealth and wealth on the battlefield is all about fighting with your life, and if you are not careful, you will regret it for life.
Fortunately, the third master is blessed, has a great life, and has a great creation, not only is the person fine, but also has made a contribution to the sky, and was named the Hou Ye by His Majesty, and even the old lady is very excited.
After listening to Sister Feng's words, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Old lady, second grandmother, let me handle this matter, it will definitely satisfy everyone." โ
Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Hey, you, the rich man, have spoken, then we are welcome, just let us save some silver." โ
You Shi smiled: "Look at the one who instigated you, those who don't know think that you are short of money, we concubines are the richest." โ
Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Sister-in-law, you have to touch your conscience when you speak, your Dongfu is the richest, and the silver that Brother Cong earns every year is more than us, even if it is a fraction."
Others don't know, but my aunt knows that the silver that the Xue family sends to your house every year will cost hundreds of thousands of taels. โ
Although Jia Mu heard that Brother Cong was very rich, she didn't know that she was so rich, and asked suspiciously, "Is there really so much?" โ
Aunt Xue smiled: "Congratulations to the old lady, Brother Cong'er, this child is a promising child, not only can make money, but also fight, the old lady is really blessed."
Our family is also doing business with Brother Cong, and the silver contains capital, and there is not so much if the capital is thrown away, don't listen to Brother Feng'er's nonsense. โ
Mrs. Xing was annoyed, she was originally the son under her own name, but because she was one step slower, she passed to Dongfu.
Now this child is getting more and more promising, more and more capable, but it doesn't have much to do with himself.
Now Mrs. Xing regrets that her intestines are green, and she blames herself for not starting earlier.
Fortunately, this child is filial and will give himself a filial piety every year.
Li Kun also sighed in his heart, this Cong brother is really capable.
Just like Aunt Xue said, she can make money and fight at the same time, which is really enviable.
I think that at the beginning, I didn't even have a book, and if I wanted to read a book, I still borrowed it from Lan'er, but now I look at it again, and I have become a big man to look up to.
If Lan'er had half of the ability of Brother Cong, she would be content.
In other words, Brother Cong is not a few years older than Lan'er, why is he so capable?
A group of little sisters also got together and said hello to Xichun, but Xichunle's little mouth couldn't close.
My brother is so powerful, he has only been out for half a year and has become a great marquis, and now I miss my brother so much.
"Sister Lin, when do you think my brother will come back?"
Lin Daiyu was also very happy in her heart, Brother Cong is so powerful, he became a Hou Ye so quickly, and I don't know how he did it?
Love to read
Seeing Xichun asking, he said with a smile: "Your brother is now a general in the army, and he can't come back without an order from the imperial court, and he shouldn't be able to come back in the short term." โ
Xue Baochai said: "We don't know much about the situation over there now, at least we can't have a chance to come back until the war is over." โ
Yingchun said worriedly: "I don't know when the war will end, although I know that Brother Cong is very powerful, but I am still a little worried." โ
Tanchun said with a smile: "The third brother is a person with great luck and great ability, and he will definitely turn evil into good fortune, maybe the next time we meet, the third brother will already be the grandfather of the country." โ
Lin Daiyu nodded and said, "Brother Cong has always been well-planned, he shouldn't suffer a loss, and he will definitely surprise us when he comes back next time." โ
Xue Baochai said: "This is true, Brother Cong is a thoughtful person, has his own plans, has the ability, and is very lucky, he will definitely be fine, everyone can rest assured." โ
Lin Daiyu said: "Sister Bao knows Brother Cong very well, it seems that the two of you have a lot of relationship?" โ
Xue Baochai covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister Lin also knows Brother Cong very well, does that mean that the relationship between the two of you is deeper?" Childhood sweethearts, two little guesses? โ
Lin Daiyu wrinkled her little nose and said: "Hmph, Sister Bao will talk nonsense, we are childhood sweethearts, and the two of us have no guesses, so what are you?" Fall in love, hate to see each other late? โ
Xue Baochai took a sip and said: "Phew, the more you talk, the more you don't know, you dare to say anything, at first glance, you are too deeply influenced by Brother Cong." โ
Tanchun said with a smile: "We couldn't talk about Sister Lin before, but now we can't beat her, but fortunately, Sister Bao can compete with her." โ
Lin Daiyu said: "When will the three girls learn to speak." โ
Contrary to everyone's happiness, Mrs. Wang is not happy at all, how can this little bastard be so capable? It is estimated that he will never be able to get out of this evil breath.
If it were my son Baoyu, how good would it be to have such a great ability? Why this bastard kid?
However, it is not good to put on a face to make people talk, so I can only pretend to be smiling, but I don't think about how awkward it is in my heart.
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
"Carried by heaven, the emperor said:
Jia Cong, a general of the first grade, brave and resolute, killed the old slave of the barbarian Khan, and made great contributions, I was very relieved, and Jia Cong was specially sealed as Ning Wuhou, and gave a purple robe and jade belt, a thousand taels of gold, a Longquan sword, a pair of jade Ruyi, two hundred cloud brocade horses, and two hundred silk horses.
I hope to guard against arrogance and rashness, and make new contributions, admire this! โ
"Minister, Jia Cong, thank you, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Congratulations to the Hou Ye, congratulations to the Hou Ye."
Jia Cong received the holy decree again and became a veritable Ning Wuhou.
The generals were envious and stepped forward to say goodbye.
Jia Cong was not stingy, and directly chartered the largest restaurant in Guangning, and entertained the generals with a big banquet, and celebrated his feudal title by the way.
Almost all the generals at all levels in the army came, and who doesn't want to stammer, who doesn't want to stammer?
Even He Shiyuan was present in person to help Jia Cong entertain the generals.
They are all rough men in the army, and there are not so many rules, one by one, shouting five and drinking, guessing the boxing order, catching and fighting, the whole scene is very warm.
Jia Cong didn't expect that his goal of coming to the army would be achieved so easily, and it felt a little incredible to think about it.
In the future, as long as you live a step-by-step life, you will fight if there is a war, play if you don't fight, do business, hunt, experience the life outside the north, and live a leisurely life.
Wait for a few years to get your qualifications, and then find a way to transfer back to the capital.
"General Jia, no, it should be Hou Ye Jia, come on, come on, my brother salutes you, although you are young, you are a model for my generation."
Jia Cong raised his glass and smiled: "Be polite, be polite, drink together, drink together." โ
"Yes, Master Jia, in just half a year, you have completed the lifelong dream of our generals, and you can't be unconvinced!"
Everyone came over to toast, and for a while the flattery was rolling in.
It wasn't until the middle of the moon and the heavens that the banquet was dispersed and they left, but more than half of the people were carried back by their own soldiers.
Jia Cong, as the protagonist of today, naturally can't drink less.
Although a few of his subordinates helped to block the wine, after all, there were too many people, so they staggered out of the restaurant and were helped into the carriage by Li Biao.
Qingwen and Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter did not go to the banquet, but stayed in the carriage.
After all, the people who participated in the banquet today were all big men, and it was inconvenient for them to mix inside, so Li Biao followed Jia Cong closely.
Seeing Jia Cong drinking like this, Qingwen couldn't help reproaching: "Why did you let the third master drink like this?" You don't stand in the way. โ
Li Biao smiled bitterly: "I said aunt, I went to the third master on this occasion today, how can I avoid it, I have arranged a lot of people to block the wine, and more than half of them are carried back today." โ
Back at home, Han Nianci looked at Jia Cong, who was full of alcohol, and hurriedly helped him into the house.
coaxed him to drink a bowl of sobering soup, helped him wash off the smell of wine, helped him to the kang with Qingwen, covered him with a quilt, and watched him fall asleep.
The next day, Jia Cong came to the General Soldier's Mansion.
He Shiyuan smiled: "I saw that you drank a lot yesterday, are you okay?" โ
Jia Cong smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, there were too many people last night, and it was hard to refuse when I came up to toast, so I could only drink." โ
He Shiyuan smiled and said: "You have been promoted to Ning Wuhou in this short period of time, these people are envious and jealous, it's strange if they don't work hard to feed you, do you have any plans for the future?" โ
Jia Cong said: "Now that the grassland is in chaos, the death of the old slave will not be hidden for long, once they know it, they will definitely retaliate wildly, and it is not suitable for action at this time."
I plan to lie dormant for a period of time, mainly to train the army, there will be no action before the year, the first time in Liaodong for the New Year, I heard that it is very cold here, prepare some winter materials in advance. โ
He Shiyuan nodded and said: "You are right, once the barbarians know the news of the old slave, even if they don't know that you did it, they will retaliate madly on the grassland, and whoever bumps into it at this time will be unlucky."
Another point is that your recent contribution is a bit big, it is said that it is no problem to be crowned a prince, only a marquis is given to you, one is because you are too young, it is not good to seal too high, and then I am afraid that there will be no one to seal in the future.
It's okay for you to lie dormant for a while, rest well, prepare for the winter with peace of mind, you can come to me to get anything you need, I still have a lot of things here. โ
Jia Cong smiled: "Thank you, Uncle Shi, I won't be polite to you when you need it." โ
The two chatted for a while, and Jia Cong said goodbye and left.
Out of the governor's palace, came to the barracks.
Now Jia Cong is already a guerrilla general, with 1,500 cavalry on duty, plus 300 or so people brought from the Black Mountain Zhuangzi, and 100 personal guards, there are already 1,900 people.
If these people are all trained, they can be regarded as a large force, and they can participate in ordinary battles.
In the future battles, he is no longer unavailable.
