Chapter 53: Marriage
Jia Jing naturally didn't know that Wu Jiang and the others were preparing to make themselves lose face and even break their hands and feet at the Emperor Taishang's Longevity Festival, but even if he knew that Jia Jing didn't care at all, he was now busy with the affairs of the Longevity Festival.
I don't know if it's a reflection of the history of the previous life, the emperor's birthday is quite a bit of the "Qiansuo banquet" of the Qing Holy Ancestor in the previous life, which was set a long time ago, so even if Emperor Yongxi is no longer willing to be thrifty, there is no reason to be stingy in the matter of the emperor's birthday, otherwise the world's scholars are afraid that they will have to spray him to death with the weapon of filial piety......
The scale of this longevity banquet is extremely large, and it is estimated that all the civil and military officials in Beijing and virtuous elders, celebrities and scholars, and noble generals will be invited to participate, so the Jia family is also preparing, Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang are all fateful ladies with a fate, so they also have to participate.
Ning Guofu has also been preparing for a long time, Jia Zhen's wife died shortly after Jia Jing's death, so it happened to be filial piety together for three years, but in fact, Jia Jing's sister-in-law had just died Jia Zhen straightened his side room You Shi to be the heroine of Ningguo, although the Xifu side was a little dissatisfied with this, but after all, the life was lived by the people in the East Mansion themselves, so they could only turn a blind eye.
Jia Jing could only shake his head and sigh ridiculously to get him again, after all, You was still a smart person in the Red Mansion, if he really let a new unfamiliar sister-in-law be the heroine of Ningguo, it would not necessarily be good for Jia Jing.
Jia Rong married Qin Keqing, the daughter of Qin Ye, the Ministry of Industry, two years ago, as the wife of the main room, Jia Jing has only seen two sides, both of them are faint and timid, please An Jia Jing nodded and passed, it is indeed very good, the body is delicate, beautiful and natural, like a fox fairy, enchanting but not coquettish, romantic but charming, if you have to say it...... Probably pure desire, Jia Jing estimates that this modern phrase is the most appropriate to describe her.
However, when she thought of the "dust-picking ashes" in Jiao Da's mouth, Jia Jing instantly became clear-hearted, and even faintly resisted and disgusted Qin Keqing, Qin Keqing was born and romantic, and since she was a child, she has seen not a thousand but eight hundred men who have sex with her, Jia Jingyi's attitude towards her is bland and even bad, she naturally feels it, but instead of being angry, she feels weird in her heart.
I can't help but think of my father-in-law who broke into the cave room and talked nonsense when I got married, and my husband who almost hid from him since then, and I can't help but feel gloomy in my heart.....
Today, because his father-in-law and mother-in-law are going to come to Xifu to discuss things, I saw him again, he didn't wear the Taoist robe he often wears, but changed into a neat arrow sleeve, leaning there with a faint evil smile on the corner of his mouth, he was born with a chic and arbitrary temperament, and his gestures were full of nobility, and the people sitting in the hall were all elders, Qin Keqing didn't dare to look more and withdrew his gaze.
Then he fell into deep self-blame and shame, this person is his uncle! She is also an official eunuch from a family of poetry and books, how can she do such a thing! It's a great sin to even think about it!
Just when Qin Keqing's heart fell into this kind of pain that was almost chaotic, Jia Mu spoke: "You monkey don't hurry up to get busy with you, come to see what we do?" Jia Jing leisurely leaned on the chair and threw a dried fruit in his mouth, and watched curiously with the sisters, Jia Mu and the others put on the big makeup of the Duchess of the First Grade with the help of Wang Xifeng and Mandarin Ducks, and the five Zhai crowns and big sleeves and red shirts, these things can add up to choke the old lady.
But I also have to say that no wonder people say that people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, Jia's mother, who originally looked like a kind old lady, did look majestic and majestic after wearing this body of the Duchess of the country, and it was very eye-catching, although Mrs. Xing's lady's clothes and Mrs. Wang's pleasant clothes were also considered "official clothes", but sitting next to Jia's mother looked the same as a follower.....
Jia Jing said in amazement: "No wonder people often say that a husband can't be without power for a day, and he will live a wife and a son for a lifetime, and glorify his ancestors. Just went to the street in this outfit, and even the commanders of the soldiers and horses of the five armies had to come and kowtow! Jingzhao Mansion Yin has to come and salute! "This is actually a bit excessive, Jingzhao Mansion Yin Na is also a member of the Zhengsanpin Yizi, and he is indeed not as noble as Jia's mother, but he is not as good as a duchess of the country.....
However, these words were very pleasing to Jia's mother, Wang Xifeng smiled: "It's not! There are not many noble ancestors in the whole world. Jia Mu smiled: "That's it for this life, I'll see what you little ones can earn for your wife and children!" ”
Jia Zhen smiled dryly and didn't speak, he was the only one who was in the year of fighting here, did he dare to continue? He is now not doing anything serious except drinking with his little wife in Ningfu for fun, can he be Amitabha Buddha without being demoted, and give You Shi Zheng an order?
Jia Lian was also a little embarrassed and smiled at Sister Feng, who was looking at him expectantly, Wang Xifeng naturally knew that she couldn't point to this husband, so she glared at him fiercely, and then glanced at the ignorant Jia Baoyu and couldn't help but be a little funny.
There really is, Jia Jing lazily leaned on the backrest and supported his chin with one hand and smiled: "This doesn't bother the old lady to worry about, what's the matter...... Can't you be better than you? Everyone in the Jia family was speechless for a while, Wang Xifeng thought that yes, this is indeed a person who can earn it back, but ...... Better than Jamu? Mother Jia is now the Duchess of Yipinguo, stronger than Mother Jia? Princess?
Jia Mu glared at Jia Jing and said with a smile: "Okay! I'll see how you monkey head earn a princess for your wife! Jia Jing ate dried fruits indifferently, Wang Xifeng smiled: "Then the second brother must have a wife first!" ”
Jia Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Xifeng smiling and not speaking, Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Jing's smile and couldn't help but smile a little embarrassedly: "What is the second brother laughing at?" In the end, thinking that he was not harming him, so Liu Jing couldn't help but stand up, Jia Jing shook his head with a smile and said: "I'm not in a hurry, why is the eldest husband in trouble without a wife?" ”
Jia Mu said with a smile: "You are interested in the marriage of your brothers, who came to you to pour your tongue?" Wang Xifeng said aggrievedly: "Where is it!" The second brother is sixteen years old, isn't it time to talk about marriage after the new year? ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall was interested, the sisters and Daiyu looked at Jia Jing funny, Qin Keqing looked at Jia Jing a little nervously, only to see Jia Jing scratch his chin and said: "It's true, but I'm afraid there is no room for me to open my mouth for this kind of thing......"
As soon as these words came out, the elders laughed, and Wang Xifeng laughed loudly: "Ouch! It can be seen that the second brother is used to being domineering, and he even has to make his own decisions about his own marriage! Jia Zhen also said with a smile: "If the second brother really likes someone's young lady, just come to me, but don't make your own decisions." ”
At this time, there is no concept of free marriage, even if the man and woman first know the love of the three lives, they must first notify the elders of the family, and then the elders will be counted by the elders, otherwise, it is elopement, and elopement is also the operation of social death, in some ignorant mountain villages and even after being caught, it is necessary to dip in the pig cage....
They are the high-ranking family members, so there are more natural rules, Jia Jing, as the son of Ning Guofu's descendant, if he finds a woman to marry outside, then the Jia family will basically become the laughing stock of Quanshenjing.
Mother Jia also laughed and said: "Where is the reason for your own marriage?" Jia Jing looked at the laughter of everyone in the Jia family and was speechless for a moment and said, "What Jing means is that Jing's marriage ...... I'm afraid that the emperor or His Majesty will be in charge. ”
The laughter of everyone in the Jia family stopped abruptly, and Jia Lian was silent for a moment and couldn't help but say with envy: "Second brother is really ...... As if showing off......" Then under Wang Xifeng's cold gaze, the more he spoke, the quieter his voice became, Jia Jing said speechlessly: "What is there to show off?" If the Emperor and His Majesty choose for me, will they let me choose? It must be in the interests of the Jia family first, will it still look at whether the woman looks good or not? Knowing etiquette but not etiquette? If the second brother is envious, why don't we change them? ”
Wang Xifeng took a sip of Jia Jing when she heard this, and even she blushed a little when she heard this sentence just now, and Jia's mother also said angrily: "The more you talk about it, the more it doesn't look like it!" Is there anything wrong with the Emperor and His Majesty? Beware of people saying you're being disrespectful. Jia Jing pouted, the Emperor Taishang and His Majesty must have chosen a family to marry for themselves in a situation that was favorable to their situation, how could they care if they liked it or not?
Thinking of this, Jia Jing couldn't help but be a little distracted, in his previous life, he was a college student who had been single for more than 20 years, so to speak, the last time he touched a girl's waist was playing eagle and catching chickens in kindergarten...... Saying that he didn't look forward to a beautiful and simple love is afraid that he doesn't even believe in himself, but in his previous life, he devoted himself to the historical research he liked, and in this life, he was busy with big things, and he couldn't help his marriage...... can't help but feel a little melancholy, but after all, men are more rational than emotional, so Jia Jing doesn't care too much.
Jia Mu looked at Jia Jing in a daze, she also came here as a girl, how could she not know Jia Jing's thoughts, so she interrupted: "Why don't you go to busy you?" Jia Jing came back to his senses, looked at Jia Mu with a calm demeanor, blinked suspiciously, and said, "What is there to prepare?" ”
Jia Mu said: "The Emperor treats you like a descendant, don't you prepare carefully for his birthday?" Jia Jing came back to his senses and took a sip of tea and said, "Oh, I copied a few scriptures, and I will send them over when the time comes." ”
Jia Mu quietly waited for Jia Jing's next text, but when she saw Jia Jing drinking tea again, she couldn't help but be a little surprised: "It's gone?!" Jia Jing was stunned for a moment: "Hmm...... It's gone...... What's wrong? Jia Mu looked at Jia Jing with a ridiculous face and said, "The emperor has a birthday, how many Taoist scriptures will you send?" ”
Jia Jing was speechless and said: "You should be like Baoyu, do nothing, have your dowry to eat?" I've just started making a living, where do I get a birthday gift? Jia Mu said angrily: "Then you should say it early!" The Emperor treats you like this, how can you not have a heart of loyalty and filial piety? Mandarin ducks, go and prepare some gifts for your second master! ”
Jia Jing said indifferently: "Forget it, the Emperor has never seen anything good, I will send a few Taoist scriptures, and the Emperor will understand." Jia Mu said unhappily: "This is nonsense!" Even if the emperor is considerate, but in the end, many people are not to blame, how can they be so casual! ”
Jia Zhen was also embarrassed and said: "Where is the old lady out of things?" Otherwise, I won't be ashamed of my grandson, and I will immediately ask the people below to prepare some gifts. Jia Jing saw that they didn't listen to him, so he could only shake his head helplessly and drink tea by himself.
Jia Zhen drank Jia Rong and asked him to hurry back to the house to prepare another gift, Jia Jing looked at Jia Rong's pale face and hurriedly went, couldn't help but shake his head secretly, and said to Jia Zhen: "Big brother, it stands to reason that I didn't have the face to say this, but now that Rong'er is not young and married, you beat and scold at every turn, I'm afraid it's not like it." ”
