In the early morning of August 17, the 40th year of Tianyou, a holy decree signed by Emperor Tianyou and stamped with the seal of the emperor and the treasure seal of the empress dowager attracted everyone's attention.

Jia Jue, who had just entered Beijing for less than half a month, saved the Marquis of Shouning by chance, and was rewarded with a third-class earl and a mansion, a liujue title is not enough for a group of bigwigs to take to heart, but the mansion on the edge of Rongguo Mansion revealed the emperor's thoughts, for a while, some people were silent, some people were secretly happy, of course, more people were puzzled and angry.

If Jia Jue's matter has attracted the attention of many people, then last night's big move by the Criminal Department and Shuntianfu made some people anxious.

Overnight, eleven green buildings and three taverns in the east and west cities were sealed, if it weren't for the rapid action of the forbidden army, these children who had been sent in might have been disposed of, these people are all vicious people, in order to prevent the handle from falling into the hands of the government, killing people and killing people is a common operation, but unfortunately, those forbidden troops did not give them a chance at all, directly broke the door, and killed directly at the slightest change, and the bloody means directly deterred these people, and rescued twenty girls and seven boys from these families.

These green buildings and restaurants are implicated behind a large number of officials, especially those well-known green buildings, behind which is related to the clan, the criminal department not only put the old bustards, stewards and thugs in the green building into prison, but also forcibly released those women, which directly cut off their financial routes, before the criminal department sent the confession of the trial into the palace, someone wrote to impeach the criminal department and the Shuntian Mansion, and the angry Emperor Tianyou directly issued an order to remove these officials, including two imperial histories of the Imperial Procuratorate.

Immediately afterwards, there was a fire in the cell where the bustard and the steward were held, and there was no evidence of death, Emperor Tianyou smashed the cup in front of the cabinet, and directly ordered the criminal department, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to jointly try the case, and the three law divisions were not tried for non-serious cases, which shows the anger in the emperor's heart, although there is no evidence, but it is necessary to give the emperor an explanation, as a last resort, those clan princes and civil official groups have launched more than ten officials to come out to confess, of course, this is all a later story.

It was already midnight when Jia Jue came out of the palace, but he did not forget the task given to him by the girls, and took his own soldiers to Zhengyangmen Street to go around, and bought more than a dozen lanterns of different styles, just because it was too late, the rabbit lanterns were sold out, and he had to go to Yongdingmen Street again, but fortunately he bought it in the end, I have to say, the craftsmanship of these handicraft masters is really good, and the rabbits are really cute, no wonder children like it.

At dawn the next day, Jia Jue came to Rongxi Hall, because he wanted to meet the emperor's holy decree, when he knew that there would be a holy decree to come in a while, Jia Zheng decisively skipped shift, and ordered the little servant to go to the Ministry of Industry to give him leave, less than a stick of incense, this matter spread all over Ningrong and the two mansions, except for Mrs. Wang's cold face, everyone was very happy, not only Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian rushed over, even Jia Zhen and his son rushed over, this time it was no one else who came to read the holy decree, it was the eunuch Xia Shouzhong, the chief eunuch of Cining Palace, this old eunuch and the Jia family have a very good relationship, He took his way through Jia Zhen at the beginning, and the general manager of the guard, the things that can spend money are not a thing, and the favor of the old relatives should be used on the steel blade, this is what Jia Yu said at the beginning.

This made Jia Jue always think that this cheap father was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but unfortunately, his natural thirst for wine has been imprinted in his bones.

Sent away the eunuch Xia, followed Jia Zhen, the patriarch, to the ancestral hall, put on a stick of incense, told the ancestors about the matter, and left the holy decree in the ancestral hall, the Jia family had a third-class uncle, although it was a liujue, but it was also a matter of seeing the ancestors of the Guangzong Sect, it was worth celebrating, even Jia Zheng felt that he should invite his relatives to come to celebrate, but Jia Zheng remembered the emperor's words last night, and decided to celebrate together when he passed the palace.

Back in Ning'an Hall, a group of people studied the yellow calendar for a long time, but they didn't find a good day, and in the end, Jia Yu slapped the table and asked Jia Lian and Jia Rong to go on a trip to Qingxuguan and ask Daoist Zhang.

Yes, a group of people gathered around and didn't discuss it, fortunately, Jia Jue was not in a hurry, moving to the house is a big deal after all, the house has to be cleaned, and the maid has to be selected, but these don't have to worry about Jia Jue, they have their own stewardship to deal with it, and finally a few people stared at each other, Jia Zheng went back to the study of Rongxi Hall and a few Qingke to study poetry, Jia Yu and Jia Zhen went to drink, Jia Jue remembered the matter of the lantern again, first went to Jia's mother's house to brush her face, then went to Yingchun Sister House, and finally went to Sister Lin's place.

When I came to the small courtyard, I learned that Baochai asked Yingchun and Tanchun to go to Mengyunxuan to find Daiyu to laugh in the morning, only Xichun waited too long last night and slept late, so I just got up and saw the little rabbit lantern, Xichun immediately forgot the oath made last night, the left sentence "three brothers", the right sentence "three brothers", very happy.

Coming out of the Baoxia Hall, Jia Jue took Xichun to Li Kun's yard first, sent the lanterns he bought for Jia Lan, and talked for a while, followed by Jia Huan, a little frozen cat, and then his cheap brother Jia Cong, who spent most of the hour in a circle.

Xichun is like a little bird, chattering to Jia Jue all the way, smiling crisply from time to time, lively and cheerful.

"Third brother, when the second sister goes to your house, can I follow me to stay for two days?"

When Xichun heard that Jia Jue was going to let Yingchun choose a courtyard in the mansion over there, he hesitated for a long time and looked at Jia Jue expectantly.

Jia Jue saw her looking at herself, so she smiled and said, "Why stay for two days, you are all my sisters, and I have also prepared a yard for you." ”

Xichun was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked, "Really?" Can I choose a yard too! ”

Jia Jue nodded her nose and said with a smile: "Of course, unless you don't recognize me as a brother." ”

Xichun was so excited that she burst into tears, and suddenly threw herself into Jia Jue's arms, Jia Jue took the handkerchief handed over to her into the painting to wipe away the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "You will be ten years old after the New Year, big girl, if Yun Yatou knows, she should laugh at you!" ”

"Sister Yun won't laugh at me, she herself is crazy all day long, by the way, the old lady asked her to pick her up at Shi's house in the morning, and it is estimated that it will not be long before she comes."

She grabbed Jia Jue's arm again and said coquettishly: "I don't care, let them laugh if they laugh, if it doesn't work, you will punish them for me." ”

Jia Jue laughed, "No wonder people say that the fourth girl will sue!" ”

Xichun was ashamed and annoyed, slapped Jia Jue's arm and said, "Ignore you, I'll tell the second sister to go!" ”

As he spoke, he ran briskly towards Meng Yunxuan.

Looking at the back of Xichun's departure, Jia Jue smiled, the little girl is very good now, there is no so-called loneliness at all, You Shi also takes very good care of her, no matter how busy she is every day, she will come to see her at night, there are Yingchun and Tanchun on weekdays, and there are maids to play with her, lively and energetic, very cheerful.

Not long after, Jia Jue walked into Mengyunxuan, Song Ma sat on the corridor behind the courtyard gate to do needlework, saw Jia Jue come in and got up to give gifts, knowing that she was looking for the girls, she didn't say much, and stretched out her hand to point to the small garden, at this time, the excited voice of Xichun came from the small garden, "Third sister, third brother said, we can also live with the second sister in his new mansion, catch up with Ming'er, let's go and choose the yard together, no, let's pick a super big yard, we still live together, by the way, Sister Lin also lives with us, There are also Sister Bao and Sister Yun, so that we can play together every day, and we don't have to be divided into several places like now, which is exhausting. ”

"What about the third brother?"

This is the sound of Tanchun.

"In the back, he doesn't go as fast as I do."

Xichun took Tanchun's arm and shouted: "The third brother bought a lantern for each of us last night, but unfortunately, because there was something in the palace, I came back late, my little rabbit lantern is beautiful, I want to go to the old lady's house at night, second sister, yours is a fairy candle, third sister, yours is a palace lamp, yes, yes, Sister Lin, the lantern that the third brother bought for you is an elephant, and the picture in the album is like, naïve and cute, more cute than my little rabbit...."

Daiyu glanced at her mouth, "What's rare, if you like it, I'll give it to you." ”

Xichun lay on Tanchun's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Sister Lin, this is also a part of the third brother's heart, you can't do this." ”

Daiyu bit her lip and glared at her fiercely, "You talk a lot!" ”

Before he could say a word, he saw a few people looking at him with a smile, and when he turned around, he saw Jia Jue standing on the steps of the pavilion and looking at him with a smile, her face "Teng!" "The ground is red.

Jia Jue smiled and walked into the pavilion, nodded and said hello to Baochai who was sitting next to Yingchun, he heard Jia Zheng say something about her early in the morning, she has signed up for next year's women's history draft in the Ministry of Rites, and I don't know if she can be selected without the drag of Xue Pan's life lawsuit, although it is a little regrettable, but after all, she can't cut off her future.

Tanchun looked at Baochai and then at Daiyu, his heart flashed, and he suddenly thought of something, so he smiled at Jia Qi and said, "Third brother, there is a garden in your mansion, how does it compare with the Dongfu Huifang Garden?" ”

Jia Jue was stunned in his heart, and smiled bitterly, "I haven't seen it either, I don't know." ”

Tanchun showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and pulled Xichun over and said with great interest: "Third brother, since the family came to Sister Bao and Sister Lin, we have always wanted to open a poetry club, but unfortunately there has been no suitable venue, originally planned to take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Tianxianglou to celebrate the festival Let's get together to admire the moon, who knew that it was raining heavily, I thought there was no chance, who would have thought that the third brother had a mansion with regulations not lower than the two mansions, but it was not a fate that fell from the sky, so, I thought..."

Jia Jue saw that several people had expectant looks in their eyes, so he nodded and smiled: "It's okay, it's wrapped up in me, I'll go and say it to the old lady." ”

Tanchun slapped his face with joy, and at this moment, Song Ma's voice came from the door, "Miss Yun is here." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a crisp laughter, and Xiangyun rushed in like a gust of wind, "Hahaha, Sister Lin, I'm here..."

She suddenly saw Jia Jue, so she took Jia Jue's hand and said coquettishly: "Third brother, you don't know if you let someone pick me up when you come back, I'm so angry, hum!" ”

Xiangyun has lived in Rongguo Mansion since he was a child, he is a tomboy, and he has a very good relationship with his predecessor who likes to practice martial arts, so he has no choice but to smile bitterly: "It's only been a few days since I came back, and I haven't been free, so I'll go and tell my cousin that you can live here enough, even if you go back next year, how about it?" ”

"Hee-hee! It's still the third brother who is good to me. ”

Xiangyun grinned, turned around and took Daiyu's hand again, "Good sister, I miss you, by the way, I wrote a few poems, I'll read them to you later..."

Before he could say a word, Tanchun pulled Baochai over to introduce the two, Jia Jue looked at the few people who were fighting, the melancholy in his heart disappeared, and suddenly brightened, so he clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, don't make trouble, the old lady invites the host today, let's go over, Baoyu is estimated to have arrived a long time ago." ”

"By the way, I haven't said hello to my uncle yet."

Tanchun smiled and came up to give Jia Jue a salute, "The folk girl sees Uncle Jia." ”

"See Uncle Jia!"

Yingchun, Xichun, Xiangyun and Daiyu hugged each other and smiled to greet Jia Jue, and even Baochai smiled and gave a salute.

Jia Jue waved his hand and said loudly: "Let's go, eat big households!" ”
