The conflict in Dong'anmen immediately spread throughout the government and the opposition, and the Manchu Dynasty had a lot of civil and military discussions, and many people realized that this conflict would change the situation in Shenjing, especially the Gyeonggi garrison.

The common people have always liked to discuss the gossip of powerful and high-ranking officials, and this matter is the Jia family and the Zhongshun Palace, which makes them even more excited, asking everywhere if there is any inside information, of course, there are also people interested in the things on those carts, gossip is flying all over the sky, all kinds of rumors spread in the streets and alleys of Shenjing City, taverns and tea shops, in the afternoon, a news came out of the imperial city, the second son of the king of Zhongshun was forty by the court staff, and was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion for half a year.

There was an uproar in the city for a while, and then there was a strong news, Jia Jue not only was not punished, but was promoted to an official position because of misfortune, a general, and a commander of 3,000 battalions, which is a real military power.

Many people smell something unusual and sense that the wind is about to change.

Rongqingtang, just sent away Aunt Xue's mother and daughter, with the cooperation of Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue finally lived in Jia's house, Lixiangyuan, in the northeast corner of Rongguo Mansion, divided into inner and outer courtyards, small and small more than ten rooms, there is a small garden, and there is a special door to the back street, which is just convenient for Xue Pan and the servants of the Xue family to enter and exit.

Jia's mother sat alone on the high couch, without a smile on her face, Jia Jue's return to the house and relatives came to the door, it was a happy event, it was a happy event, it was time to set up wine to entertain guests and celebrate Jia Jue's return home, but unfortunately, the news brought by Jia Lian made everyone in the Jia family uneasy, as the old lady of the Jia family, Jia's mother knew very well the hatred between the Jia family and the Zhongshun Palace, for more than half a year, the second son of the Zhongshun King kept looking for trouble with the Jia family, Jia Zhen and Jia Lian both suffered a lot of losses, if it weren't for the help of the King of Beijing, The face of the Jia family will be trampled on the ground by a junior, if this is really the case, what face does the Jia family have to stay in Shenjing, and they can only move their family to the ancestral land of Jinling.

The two sons are not the material to be officials, originally she put her hope on the eldest grandson Jia Zhu, Jia Zhu did not disappoint her, entered school at the age of fourteen, and was admitted to Xiucai at the age of sixteen, but unfortunately, God does not bless the Jia family, just when everyone thought that Jia Zhu would take the imperial examination to high school and revitalize the lintel, Jia Zhu left Li Kun and his young son, and died of illness before the age of twenty. Jia Zhu's untimely death undoubtedly brought a huge blow to Jiafu, which also broke Jia's mother's heart, thinking that the Jia family was about to fall in her hands, but Jia Jue's rise made her see hope again.

A guerrilla general who is less than sixteen years old, more importantly, he has fallen into the eyes of the emperor, that is to say, as long as there are no major changes, the Jia family's connections in the army, coupled with the help of his relatives, Jia Jue's career will be on the rise, and the Jia family will rise again.

The day before yesterday, Jia Jue sent a letter, saying that when he returned home today, Jia's mother was very happy, because Jia Jue said in the letter that he entered Beijing at the behest of the emperor, and would stay in Beijing to serve in the future, and he would still lead the troops.

This is the foot of the Son of Heaven, even if he leads a small battalion of 1,000 people, it will bring great benefits to the Jia family, and then slowly operate, it may not be impossible to regain the glory of the past.

The greater the hope, the greater the blow.

Who would have thought that as soon as Jia Jue entered the capital, he met the rival of the Jia family, although Jia Lian said that Jia Jue was under the emperor's order, and Zhu Zaimo did not dare to come nonsense, but, the news that came later made Jia's mother's heart fall into the abyss, the two sides moved on the street, and there were also human lives, Jia Jue waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to shoot dozens of slaves from the Zhongshun Palace, which was a big trouble.

No matter what you say, Zhu Zaimo is surnamed Zhu, and he has a closer relationship with the emperor, so I can only hope that the emperor can see the hard work of the Jia family in the past and punish him lightly!

Jia's mother sat on the soft couch, her eyes quickly glanced at the Jia family's daughters and Yingchun sisters in the house.

Distant relatives can't be rude when they come to the door, Mrs. Wang led Li Kun and Wang Xifeng to entertain the mother and daughter of the Xue family.

Mrs. Xing sat on the chair with a sad face, next to her was Yingchun who bowed her head and wiped her tears, the four girls cried directly, and You and Qin sat there silently.

Daiyu looked a little distracted, and despite her efforts to stay calm, Jia Mu could see the anxiety in her eyes.

"Sister Lin, don't worry, I think with the third brother's steadiness, he won't make a move if he is not sure. I think he must have thought of everything, including a way out. ”

Tanchun, who was sitting next to Daiyu, comforted in a low voice.

Daiyu nodded deeply.

Tanchun saw that Jia's mother was looking at them, stunned for a moment, and was about to speak.

There was a rush of footsteps outside the house, and Jia Lian and Jia Rong broke in like a gust of wind.

Jia Mu's eyes flashed, "How's it going?" ”

Jia Lian and Jia Rong walked to the middle and saluted Jia's mother, and Fang said loudly: "Ancestor, great joy, by the grace of Your Majesty, the third brother was promoted to a general, and commanded three thousand battalions, and our family finally took back the military power of the old battalion!" ”

"The third uncle and the old man have gone to the ancestral hall."

Jia Rong on the side spoke, "Father sent me to ask the ancestor, where should Ming'er's banquet be placed?" ”

Jia Mumeng came back to her senses and hurriedly asked, "Really!" ”

"The Divine Decree grandson saw it with his own eyes."

Jia Lian nodded vigorously.

"Good! Good! Good! ”

Mother Jia said in a loud voice: "Quick, you go and tell the kitchen, prepare wine and food, we have to celebrate tonight, by the way, invite my aunt's family to come together, today, the wife will pay for it." ”

Speaking of this, he thought about it and said to Jia Rong: "Tell your father, don't set up Ming'er's banquet, don't be too ostentatious at this time." ”

"Hahaha... The ancestors are overjoyed! ”

Before he could say a word, he only heard Wang Xifeng's voice coming from the backyard, and after a while, I saw Wang Xifeng and Li Kun walking in with Mrs. Wang in their arms, followed by Aunt Xue's mother and daughter, I didn't expect that there would be a man in Rongqing Hall, Aunt Xue and Baochai were stunned for a moment, Jia Lian and Jia Rong looked at each other, and then bowed to Aunt Xue and withdrew.

Wang Xifeng thought about it, turned around and pointed to Jia Rong's back in the ears of Aunt Xue and Baochai and said a few words.

Mother Jia smiled, stood up with the mandarin duck's hand, and said to Aunt Xue: "There is something at home, please forgive my aunt for the rudeness, but fortunately, I have been touched by the blessings of my aunt's family, not only through the ordeal, but also with great grace." ”

How could Aunt Xue not care? Thinking of her own situation again, there was an inexplicable sadness and loss in her heart, and soon, she covered the loss in her eyes, walked over, slightly blessed, and said with a smile: "The old lady said that it was all about dragging your longevity, and my brother was able to get this great grace, and it was too late for us to envy." ”

said, beckoned to the mother-in-law standing behind Baochai, "This is a little heart, and I hope the old lady will not dislike it." ”

A trace of potential self-esteem and satisfaction immediately flashed across Jia's mother-in-law's face, the two mothers-in-law of the Xue family came over with a tray with a wooden box, Aunt Xue opened the lid, and saw a Hetian jade carving of Guanyin inside, Jia Mu glanced at Mrs. Wang, stepped forward, folded her hands and bowed, and said with a smile: "This Bodhisattva is good, it is actually carved from a whole piece of jade, it is not easy to find, Mrs. Jia has a heart." ”

Aunt Xue blushed, this Guanyin statue was specially customized a year ago, and it was going to go to Beijing to give it to Mrs. Wang, but I didn't expect to catch up with this matter, Jia's mother had never seen anything, and after discussing with her sister Mrs. Wang, she decided to give this jade Guanyin to Jia's mother.

Baochai hurriedly picked up the conversation, "It's really hard to find, my aunt wrote from my aunt a few years ago that the old lady liked it, so my mother specially asked my brother to ask someone to customize it." ”

Mother Jia pretended to be surprised, "Mrs. Baoyu is a filial person, and thank you to Mrs. Auntie, so I accepted it with a cheeky face." ”

Wang Xifeng hurriedly walked over, held Jia's mother's arm, and said with a smile: "Ancestor, let's go to the flower hall and sit, the banquet has already been prepared, the master asked the little maid to pass the word, and they will come over in a while." ”

Jia's mother reacted at this time, because when Jia Jue returned home, the family had prepared a banquet early, and she forgot about it.

patted Wang Xifeng's hand and said with a smile: "In terms of filial piety, you are not as good as Feng Yatou." Let's go - let's have a drink and go! ”

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked towards the flower hall.

In the flower hall, Jia's mother, Aunt Xue, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang have a table, and the Yingchun sisters have a table of Daiyu and Baochai, today's big joy, Jia's mother said, don't want Wang Xifeng and Li Kun to serve, so they sit at a table with You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Baoyu is still under the control of Jia Zheng, so they eat and drink with Jia Lian in the side hall of Rongqing Hall.

Everyone was drinking and laughing, and Wang Xifeng was laughing constantly, but Jia Mu's eyes would glance at the screen from time to time, Jia Jue should have come to see her when the banquet was held, but I heard that the military department Shangshu Zhenguo Bull Jizong came to him for something, and I don't know what it is, so I have been talking until now.

At this moment, there was some noisy sound outside the flower hall, Jia Mu glanced at the mandarin duck, the mandarin duck understood, and hurriedly walked out, and after a while, the voice of the mandarin duck came from behind the screen, "The third master came just right!" The old lady has been waiting for you for a long time! ”

Before he could say a word, a person behind the screen came over with a wine glass, it was Jia Jue.

"Zhen Guogong came to visit suddenly, and it was delayed for some time. Yaxing, who swept the old lady, is it the grandson's. ”

Jia Jue stepped forward, raised his wine glass and bowed to Jia Mu on the high platform.

"Hahaha... It's okay, you're busy with your business, come and have a glass of wine with your aunt's wife...."

"Where, where, thanks to my brother in Jinling, I was also taken care of along the way, it should be us, Baochai... A glass of wine to your third brother..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes looked at Jia Jue and Baochai.

Baochai was at a loss for a while.

At this moment, Wang Xifeng stood up and laughed loudly: "Yo! Whether you drink it or not, I'm still waiting. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Ping'er, and said to Jia Jue: "You know the rules at home, you will be fined three glasses of wine if you are late." ”

I saw Ping'er walking over with a stack of three large bowls, putting them on the table, lining them up, and not speaking, just pouring them full.

"Today is to catch the wind and wash the dust for you, and when you are promoted, we have been sitting here and waiting for a long time, you will not be embarrassed not to drink, right?"

Wang Xifeng clapped his hands and said to Yingchun and the others: "After drinking these three cups, the big guys take turns to toast!" ”

Mother Jia liked this atmosphere the most, and after hearing this, she became more and more happy, and also shouted for Sister Yingchun to come over and toast.

Helpless, Jia Jue picked up the bowl and did three bowls in a row, his face was not red or panting, everyone applauded, and the atmosphere was instantly lively.

Xichun was the first to rush over, just holding the juice What does it mean? But when I saw that she looked up and gave herself a cute smile, she couldn't bear to refuse, and it was another bowl of belly.

Then there is the spring and the spring, and then it is Daiyu, I haven't seen it for half a year, the little girl is getting more and more beautiful, standing there, there is a gentle and knowledgeable gesture, a pair of sparkling big eyes as if they can speak, looking at you quietly.

Jia Jue smiled, "I still have something to ask my sister, Ming'er will go to you." ”

Daiyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "That, okay then!" ”

After drinking Daiyu's toast, he glanced at Baochai who was still standing there, raised his glass and smiled: "Miss Bao, please!" ”

Seeing a strange look at him, a touch of blush flew over Baochai's face, and he said in a low voice: "Three, third brother, please!" ”

Between pushing the cups and changing the lamps, the scene quickly became enthusiastic.

.....

This night is destined to make it difficult for many people to sleep, King Zhongshun sent away his eldest son Zhu Zaiyan, sitting quietly in the study alone, the emperor dealt with it so that he was a little more worried, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the emperor's attitude, this is to support the Jia family and the Zhongshun palace to fight in the ring, breaking the strange situation in Shenjing, perhaps, he should not be mixed with those civil officials, but, after all, the emperor is fifty-two years old, and the position of the prince must be established, which is related to the country, and the three princes Zhu Wuxiang, who is currently supported by the civil official group, has the greatest advantage, I had to think about it for the future.
