Chapter 23: A Decree Shocks Jia Mansion (Happy Chinese New Year's Eve!!) )
Since the day of Uncle Jing's death in Ningguo Mansion was October, it is now the winter moon, and the weather is even colder.
Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall.
Today is a small family banquet in Rongguo Mansion, with a large house and two bedrooms and many sisters in the family, and the guests are dining together in the hall.
Although they eat together, they are not at the same table, and the hall is divided into chairs.
Jia's mother is sitting in the hall, and at the bottom of the right side is Aunt Xue, who is a guest and Jia's mother are the same regulations.
Below are Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and many sisters who have not yet left the cabinet.
On the left are a group of men from the Jia family, Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Huan, Jia Lan, and then Li Kun, Wang Xifeng to fill the vacancy, and everyone is alone.
Baoyu sat among the sisters, and before they left the cabinet, the sisters did not have many rules, and most of them sat as they pleased.
However, the sisters have their own eyesight, Lin Daiyu sits on the left side of Baoyu, and Xue Baochai is on the right side.
There is a stove next to everyone's table, and looking at the happy family eating together, Jia's mother is very happy.
Since Jia Rong left the house for a while, the house has been peaceful, the Feng girl is a good housekeeper, the family affairs are taken care of in an orderly manner, and there is still more money to spend.
Jia Mu couldn't help but praise:
"This time, Feng Yatou is a very good housekeeper, from the time she helped in Dongfu, she came back to take care of all the affairs of the house. There is still a surplus in January, and I feel fragrant when I smell this dish. ”
This dish is naturally fragrant, and many sisters have learned that Jia Rong opened a spice shop with Xue Panhe, the eldest and youngest of the Xue family, and all the dishes used in the house were sent by Brother Rong.
Mrs. Wang accosted: "Yes, if the Feng girl does things well, the old lady will enjoy the blessings." ”
Wang Xifeng responded, "Eh, I didn't know how difficult it was to take over the affairs of the house, and I realized the hard work of my ancestors over the years." ”
glanced at Jia Lian on the side, "Anyway, the old ancestor handed over the errand to me, then I, Feng Lazi, have to give an explanation, and the old ancestor is satisfied that he is not busy, haha." ”
In such a peaceful atmosphere, Jia Mu didn't say much and began to eat.
Seeing Jia's mother moving chopsticks, everyone also ate one after another.
Baoyu picked up a slice of roast duck, tasted it, and praised, "Today's dishes are more flavorful, and they are better than in the past." ”
After that, he sandwiched a piece of Lin Daiyu's silver bowl, "Sister Lin, come and taste it, this meat has a unique taste and is not greasy." ”
Baoyu is such a character, he thinks it is good, so he wants to share it with his sisters, but Lin Daiyu does not like meat, since it is Baoyu, she has to taste it. ”
When Lin Daiyu was about to use chopsticks to taste, Baoyu turned around and sandwiched a piece of Xue Baochai's plate.
"Sister Bao, you can taste it too."
In this way, Daiyu would not like it, put down her chopsticks, and said: "Since you are going to share food with others, why don't you take the little girl's place, pick up the dishes, and taste them with many sisters." ”
Jia Baoyu: "......"
The fight in the hall, Jia's mother didn't care, the palms and backs of her hands were full of meat, and when Jia's mother was enjoying the time of this family reunion, the atmosphere was still broken.
I only heard the screaming outside the hall: "Yi Zhi has arrived." ”
Mother Jia was a little confused, Yi Zhi was naturally a matter in the palace, could it be that there was a happy event on Yuanchun's side, but why didn't she repair a letter to the family.
Jia's mother didn't know that Yuan Chun was walking on thin ice in the harem after being warned, how could she dare to remind the Jia family before Yizhi.
Regardless of changing her dress, Jia's mother brought Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, who had an official position, Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Wang, who were in charge of the order, to receive the decree.
Many sisters peeked behind the paper windows in the church.
After Jia Mu and the others bowed down, the eunuch unfolded his edict and continued to preach:
"Fengtian carries the queen mother, and she said: The Jia family is loyal and filial, and has a good child, and now Jia Rong, the son of the Jia family, is smart and wise, and has outstanding talents. Specially give Jia Jia 100 taels of gold and 500 horses of silk. ”
The eunuch put away the holy decree and said, "Old lady Jia, take the decree." ”
When the eunuch read out Jia Rong, Jia Mu's head suddenly became empty, and she couldn't hear what was being read out later.
It's not just Jia Mu like this, Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, and the two ladies who fell to their knees are all in a state of blindfolding.
Many of the sisters in the church have grown their mouths.
"Old Lady Jia? Take the order. The eunuch called again.
He couldn't figure it out, this was obviously a reward, why did everyone seem to be robbed of their homes, shouldn't the Jia family be happy when they came out with this unicorn?
At this time, Jia's mother came back to her senses and patted Jia Zheng beside her, Jia Zheng helped the old lady to get up, took the holy decree with both hands, and behind her Jia Yu wrapped a big red seal for the eunuch.
Jia Mu, who received the holy decree, returned to the hall and sat down, no longer feeling the happy atmosphere just now.
Yi Zhi was directly announced to Rongguo Mansion, obviously it was a reward for Jia Rong, no matter what, it was announced to Ning Guofu, what does it have to do with her.
After all, Jia Mu is a person who has experienced two dynasties, and she has seen a lot in the past 70 years.
This Jia Rong entered the eyes of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother heard that Jia Rong did not like her past, so she used this to knock on the Jia family.
In the future, she can no longer underestimate this junior, in order for Yuanchun to live well in the palace, Jia Rong has such a big backer, and she can't avoid it when she comes to ask for peace again.
Thinking about it, Mother Jia felt a headache, what kind of sin she had created, this was not her species, how could bad things fall on her.
It's only been half a month since he was out of the house, Jia Rong can enter the eyes of the Queen Mother, if there is any more ability in the future, this Rongguo Mansion will not be taken by him, can Baoyu beat him.
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, if he had bad intentions, I was afraid that his grandson would have nowhere to go in the future, not to mention offending him before.
Jia Mu in the hall couldn't stop sighing, and everyone in the hall had different faces.
What Wang Xifeng thought was that even the Queen Mother was eating this seasoning, so how much would it cost to sell it.
The sisters thought that this nephew was so capable that they had never heard of it before.
Xue Baochai remembered her brother's words, how to praise this Brother Rong, and said that she would promise her to Jia Rong, and her face was a little feverish.
"It's too powerful for people to let the old lady do nothing about him if he doesn't have a place in Jiafu, I have the opportunity to ask how this nephew can go from being disgusted to being feared by everyone so quickly as he is, if I have this ability, I won't be angry anymore."
Lin Daiyu thought so.
And Jia Baoyu was extremely sad when she saw that all the sisters were thinking about other boys, and she still felt that the dishes were delicious, and she couldn't arouse any interest, and this dish was also made with that guy's seasoning.
The festive family banquet was dissolved like this.
Although everyone was shocked, the most shocked was Aunt Xue, who had not yet come back to her senses in Lixiangyuan.
She never thought that what her stupid son said was true, which made her a little shaken at the moment.
Jia Rong didn't know all this, and was still busy with the seasoning business in the Zhenwei Restaurant.
