Time always runs fast, and it is a small year in the blink of an eye.

According to the usual rules, officials who are in Shenjing and have a position of five grades or higher will enter the palace today to report on their work, and the emperor will evaluate and score the officials as an important basis for promotion in the coming year.

To put it simply, it is the year-end summary and year-end evaluation!

Of course, in Jia Cong's eyes, the more important significance today is:

Put... Year... False... Finish......

Since the establishment of the Great Qian, it has been stipulated that the year-end rest of each year starts from the twenty-third day of the lunar month and ends on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is enough to give more than 20 days of annual leave!

Coupled with the routine rest of the three days a month and various holidays, the Daqian royal family can be called a conscientious boss......

On this day of the new year.

Jia Cong, Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen got up early, and after washing up in a hurry, they changed into court clothes and went straight to the noon gate of the palace to wait.

And this fashion is only a moment.

When the red sun rises, the gates of the palace are opened.

Jia Cong and other civil and military officials lined up in two teams, entered from the noon gate, and quickly crossed the Jinshui Bridge and Taihe Gate, before they climbed the stairs and entered the Taihe Palace.

Knowing that today's court will take a long time, Emperor Chengde also came early.

Next, the officials of each ministry played in turn, summarized the achievements and mistakes of the year, and Emperor Chengde gave comments again, and then replaced the next official......

Hearing this, Jia Cong was drowsy.

Time just passed silently from your fingertips......

The other side.

Today, Jia Mu and other orders have not been idle.

Because not only Emperor Chengde had to gather his ministers on this day of the new year, but the queen, as the master of the harem, also had to feast on many orders of the Shenjing City.

And so.

Not long after Jia Cong and the others went out, Jia Mu, Xing Wang's two wives and the four of You's family also made up their own makeup and went to the palace for the banquet.

…………

The evening was Jia's mother's family banquet as usual.

Three quarters of the unitary hour.

When Jia Cong and Xue Baochai came to Rongqing Hall, they found that all the people in Ning Rong's mansion had arrived.

Pull the excited Xichun next to him.

Jia Cong asked her, "What's going on today?" Why did they all come so early?"

Xichun's little face was flushed, and she said excitedly: "When the old lady went to the palace for a banquet today, she was summoned by the old lady, and the eldest sister may be named a concubine!"

"Old lady?"

Jia Cong was puzzled.

Xichun hurriedly said: "It's the old lady of the Zhen family, our two families have always been good friends, why doesn't the third brother Cong even know this?!"

"It was the ......."

Jia Cong was stunned and said with a smile, "How could I not know about that old man? I just didn't react at once."

Xichun doesn't care either.

only said excitedly: "If the eldest sister is named a concubine, our family will become a relative of the emperor!"

"You're bold, too."

Jia Cong immediately glared at Xichun, "These four words 'imperial relatives and relatives' can be said nonsense? If the people of Jinyi Mansion hear about it, they may cause many more troubles!"

Xichun drooped his head and didn't dare to speak.

After a while, the feast began......

…………

said that because of the annual leave, Jia Cong did not have to go to Beijing every day.

In addition to practicing martial arts all day long, he took Xue Baochai to wander around the two mansions, visit around, and then accompany Baochai to exercise at night.

Life is very free!

And this comfort lasted until the second year of the new year.

After Jia Cong accompanied Baochai back from Aunt Xue, he entered the rhythm of drinking heavily after the New Year, either inviting people or being invited, in short, there was no day of leisure.

Every day I come back with the smell of alcohol.

Fortunately, Jia Cong is very good at drinking, and he sleeps when he is drunk, and he has a bad temper that is drunk and crazy, which is absolutely non......

Lantern Festival.

The red silk ribbon of the New Year in the two houses has not yet been removed, and various colorful lanterns have been newly hung.

The decoration is very lively.

this day.

Ning Rong's two people gathered in Rongqing Hall.

Jia's mother prepared a flowing banquet and a few classes of small plays, allowing everyone to eat, drink, listen to the play, laugh and play with each other as they like, and it was so lively together.

It is noisy.

Suddenly, a small servant hurriedly came in and reported to Jia's mother's table, "There is a eunuch from the six palaces outside, Master Xia, who has come to give an edict, and he is waiting outside the gate now!"

The room was silent.

"Master Xia, the eunuch of the Six Palaces?"

Hearing the little girl's words, Jia Mu thought for a while, and a flash of joy flashed on her face, and said with a smile: "I heard the magpie on the tree in the morning, and it was really a great thing that fell on our house!"

After that, the busy little guy put the cicadus and opened the door to greet him.

said that Xia Shouzhong took several little eunuchs together and strode in from the main gate of Rong Mansion.

Nor do they deal with other people.

just came straight to Jia Cong and Jia Mu, with a smile on their faces, and said, "Our family has congratulated the old lady and Uncle Zhongyong!"

Jia Cong glanced at Jia Zheng who was smiling next to him.

As the eunuch in charge of the six palaces under the queen's mother, what else can Xia Shouzhong's purpose for coming to Jiafu?

It's nothing more than a matter of Yuan Chun's concubine.

I know it in my heart.

But Jia Cong still smiled on his face, and pretended to be puzzled: "I don't know what a happy event, but to be able to come in person by Minister Lao Nei really makes Jia's family shine!"

Xia Shouzhong didn't answer, but said with a smile: "Today's time is a little urgent, so Zhongyong Bo Rong will let our family sell it first, and we will naturally know after the decree is announced!"

"Naturally, the proclamation is important, and the prime minister is invited first!"

Jia Cong said, stretched out his hand to invite Xia Shouzhong to the position of the eucalyptus at the Yimen.

Along.

Xia Shouzhong and Jia Cong walked ahead with a smile, but in the face of the smiling faces of Jia Zheng and the others, he just nodded politely, even if he Jia Zheng was the object of today's decree.

Xia Shouzhong went straight to the eucalyptus and stood still.

Behind.

Everyone looked at Xia Shouzhong's disregard for Jia Zheng and the others, and then looked at the smiling expression when talking to Jia Cong, it was a world of difference.

Time.

The look was very complicated.

You must know that as the second master of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng is one of the top masters in the mansion except for Jia's mother, but he still has to be careful to curry favor in front of the eunuchs of Naxia.

And Xia Shouzhong, who he needs to curry favor, is constantly showing favor to Jia Cong......

If you don't know the goods, you're afraid of shopping around!

In the past, I only lived in this acre and three points of land in Rongguo Mansion, and I don't think it's okay to be good everyone.

At this time, once an outsider intervenes, there is only a comparison between the two, and everyone has a clear understanding of Jia Cong's status at this time.

Therefore, when he looked at Xue Baochai again, his eyes were a little more eager.

Next to the eucalyptus.

Xia Shouzhong's expression was solemn, and he stood facing south.

After the Jia family finished their big salutes, they spoke: "By Your Majesty's special order: Jia Zheng, a member of the Propaganda Department, will enter the palace immediately and see you in the Linjing Palace!"

Declare your will.

After Xia Shouzhong waited for everyone to thank him, he hurriedly helped Jia Cong up from the ground, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhongyong, can you guess what kind of happy event it is now?"

Jia Cong smiled.

Now that Jia Yu and Jia Zheng have not yet separated, Yuanchun Concubine Feng has naturally become a great joy for the entire Rongguo Mansion, but the relationship between him Jia Cong and the second room is really not so good.

Therefore, Jia Cong is really not interested in this happy event......

But Jia Cong still smiled on his face: "In the future, I hope that the prime minister will come to the mansion to sit down!"

While speaking, with Xia Shouzhong's support.

Jia Cong's wrist flipped, and a silver ticket was quietly stuffed into Xia Shouzhong's sleeve

。

"How does this work?!"

Xia Shouzhong repeatedly refused to resign.

Jia Cong held him down and said with a smile: "This little bit of heart, it should be to invite the prime minister to tea, you must not be polite anymore!"

Cashier's ticket was collected.

Xia Shouzhong also wanted to repay the favor, so he smiled and said, "Since I drank Uncle Zhongyong's tea, our family will definitely take care of the things in the future......

Jia Cong was stunned for a moment, and then made a move.

Said, "I'm tired of worrying about the minister!"
