In the Rongqing Hall.

At this time, the wives, daughters-in-law, and girls of the two provinces gathered.

Everyone talked about fashionable clothes and fancy clothes for a while, and chatted about the recent interesting things in the house for a while, which made the house laugh constantly.

Mother Jia sat on the top, looked at everyone in the hall with a smile on her face, and beckoned to Lin Daiyu, who was talking to the Sanchun sisters, and motioned for her to come to her side.

When Lin Daiyu saw it, she hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Old lady, did you call me?" ”

Mother Jia hugged Lin Daiyu and sat down on the collapse, and said with a smile: "It's rare to talk to you for a while recently, take advantage of today's opportunity, you just sit here and talk to me." ”

Lin Daiyu hurriedly responded "yes" and did not mention it.

Subsequently, the laughter of Mother Jia, the echoing laughter of the two ladies of King Xing, and the crisp laughter of Sister Feng and the girls converged into a slightly noisy, but exceptionally cheerful ocean.

It's embellished with a festive atmosphere!

I'm talking and laughing.

The eldest girl Amber came in from outside and said to Jia's mother: "The eldest master, the second master, Uncle Zhen, the second master Lian, the third master Cong and Uncle Xiaorong are all here." ”

Time.

Except for Jia's mother, who was still seated, the ladies in the room got up and prepared to greet them.

Xuan even saw Jia Yu come in, followed by Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Cong, Jia Rong, plus Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan and others who were already in Rongqing Hall.

The people of Ning Rong and the two mansions are all here.

After Jia pardoned Jia Zhen and others to meet Jia's mother, they stood on both sides and gave up the middle position to Jia Cong.

came to Jia's mother.

Jia Cong immediately bowed and knelt down: "Grandson kowtows to the ancestor, please be safe to the ancestor!" ”

"Okay, good, just come back!"

Jia Mu pulled Jia Cong to look up and down, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her heart was full of joy, "It's hard for you to be so young, but you have to go to the army to earn your life, and it's hard for you!" ”

"It's my own choice to fight in the army or something, how can I say it's bitter?"

Jia Cong smiled and comforted, "Besides, isn't it safe for my grandson to come back from Mobei, and the ancestor doesn't have to be sad." ”

Sister Feng next to her also quipped: "Ancestor, today is a big day for Brother Cong to return home for meritorious service, and I have to issue a decree to reward it in the Ming'er Palace, this is a happy event, don't cry!" ”

After listening to Sister Feng's words, Jia Mu laughed again.

After a while.

Jia Mu remembered something and asked, "When you come back from this battle, you must not go out again?" ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "My grandson is a guerrilla general in Beijing, and my job is to garrison Kyoto. ”

Jia Mu smiled: "That's good, that's good!" ”

At this time, the mandarin duck who was waiting on the side looked at the hungry people around him, and whispered to Jia's mother: "Old lady, it's not too early at this time, it's time to set the meal." ”

"I almost forgot about business!"

Mother Jia suddenly turned her head and instructed the mandarin duck, "Since everyone is here, let's set the meal." ”

The voice fell.

Many maids dressed in red and green rushed in, holding all kinds of hot and cold dishes in their hands, and laid out one delicious dish after another on the table.

Wait for everyone to sit down in turn.

Mother Jia raised her glass first and said with a smile: "Today is the big day for Brother Cong'er to return home, everyone drinks this cup!" ”

Everyone also laughed and toasted.

…………

Early the next morning.

Jia Cong, who had just gotten up, didn't even have time to eat breakfast, and was summoned into the palace by Emperor Chengde.

Follow the little yellow gate all the way to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Emperor Chengde was eating, and when he saw Jia Cong's eyes staring at the food on the table, he couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Has Jia Aiqing ever had breakfast?" ”

Jia Cong told the truth.

Said: "The minister just got up to wash, and the two little yellow doors came over, where do you have time to eat?" ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed on the face of Emperor Chengde, who was at the top.

Busy said: "In this case, Jia Aiqing will have some breakfast here with me." Qiu Companion, hurry up and ask someone to set up a seat and serve Jia Aiqing a breakfast. ”

"Yes!"

After the meal.

Emperor Chengde looked at Jia Cong sitting on the brocade bench.

said with a smile: "The Tatar barbarians can write and beg to be called ministers, Jia Aiqing has made great contributions, and this title must be raised two or three more times; In addition, I want to promote you to the envoy of the Beijing Camp Festival, and I hope that Aiqing will train more strong soldiers for me. ”

Jia Cong's heart moved.

As the three biggest cards in Emperor Chengde's hand, one is the 5,000-feather Lin Guard Forbidden Army in the palace, and then the Gyeonggi Daying and Jinyi Mansion, and now they have actually handed over the Jingying to themselves.

This is the real henchman treatment!

Jia Cong stood up and saluted, "The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust!" ”

"Get up and do something, sit down and talk," Emperor Chengde pressed his hand and joked with a smile, "This Jingying Festival envoy has always been served by your Jia family, and now it can be regarded as returning to the old system." ”

Jia Cong said respectfully: "If there is any return to the old system, it is all the grace of Your Majesty." ”

"You're slippery!"

Although it was a reprimand, the smile on Emperor Chengde's face grew......

…………

Rika-in.

Xue Baochai was wearing homely clothes, with only Su'er scattered on his head, and was sitting in the kang, undulating on the small table with the maid Ying'er, carefully tracing the patterns.

Suddenly, Aunt Xue hurried in from outside.

sat on the edge of the kang, and then let out a long breath.

Looked at.

Xue Baochai put down the charcoal pen in his hand and asked, "Where did my mother come from, why did she look sullen?" ”

waved his hand and sent Ying'er to the outer room to guard.

"Where else can I come from?"

Aunt Xue waved her hand and quipped: "In order to show you other people's affairs, I have worn out a few pairs of soles of my shoes!" ”

Xue Baochai was a little embarrassed, "What's the urgency of these things?" ”

"My son, these things should be anxious too!"

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Wait for the twenty-first day of the first month of next year, you will reach the age of getting married, and now if you don't hurry up to see a suitable family, how can you become an old girl?!" ”

"When I become an old girl, I will stay with my mother, how good is that!"

Xue Baochai also laughed.

"What nonsense!"

Hearing this, Aunt Xue suddenly gave her a blank look, "I have raised your brothers and sisters for more than ten years, just waiting for you to become a family, and I am worthy of your father who went early." ”

As she spoke, Aunt Xue couldn't help but sigh.

"It's just that now, your marriage is a little difficult......"

The words are not finished.

Xue Pan opened the curtain and came in, and asked, "Why is my little sister's marriage difficult?" ”

Xue Pan's voice startled Aunt Xue.

laughed and scolded: "You bastard boy, even if you don't stay home all day, you will scare me when you come back!" ”

Xue Pan came over, pulled Aunt Xue and said, "Mother wants to beat and scold me, I'll wait for a while, now let's talk about it quickly, why is my little sister's marriage difficult?" ”

The smile on Aunt Xue's face faded.

Said: "Just now I was at your aunt's, thinking that I could find a good family for your sister, and it was not in vain for us to go to Beijing, just listen to your aunt's meaning, or do you want Baoyu to marry your sister......"
