Yanjing, Chaoyangmen.

Today, due to the return of the emperor and the civil and military nobles to the city, the emperor specially issued an edict, and the city gate was closed two hours late.

When the Jia family's convoy entered Chaoyangmen, it was already dark, and a little eunuch was looking forward to it.

"Let's meet Master Hou! I have seen two generals Jia, Captain Xiao Jia, the emperor has an edict, it is getting late today, and I will go to the palace tomorrow to ask for peace. Chin this. ”

"I'll wait for the order!" Since it was an oral decree rather than a formal decree, the four men of the Jia family with the lord in their bodies simply bowed and bowed.

The other servants should kneel or kneel.

As soon as Jia Zhen took out the silver ticket and was about to stuff the silver for the little chamberlain, the little chamberlain hurriedly waved his hand to signal him to hurry into the city and not block the door, and then rushed to the next county marquis to read the emperor's edict.

"Since you don't have to go to the emperor to say goodbye, then, go home!" Jia Yu waved his hand, and the convoy drove in the direction of Ning Rong Street.

。。。。。。

Ning Rong Street.

Jinli opened a feast, Lan Yanyan in her early years.

The colors are far away, and the light is far away from the sky.

Although it is already February, more than a month has passed since the New Year, but the liveliness of Ningrong Street is not inferior to the New Year.

The lanterns are colorful, the crowds are crowded, and from time to time someone drags out a large string of firecrackers. A few naughty boys leaned over to light the firerope, and when they saw that the firerope was rising, they turned around and ran, hiding in the corner and covering their ears to listen to the crackling sound of firecrackers and the flickering light.

The adults, startled by the sudden sound of firecrackers, smiled and cursed at the boys, and then turned their heads to adjust the lanterns.

Uncle Xifu Hui is back!

Half a month ago, there was news that Uncle Hui of the Xifu lord's family was knighted because of his military exploits, and he was named General Sima and Marquis of Wuwei County.

Uncle Zhen immediately opened the ancestral hall to comfort his ancestors, and the old lady of Xifu was also overjoyed, and sent a lot of rice, flour, grain, oil and cloth door-to-door, and put a cannon battle for an afternoon to celebrate, and the whole Ningrong Street was so lively!

Especially when the news came out that Master Yu announced that he would wait for Uncle Hui to return to Beijing, he would have a three-day and three-day banquet, and the people in the eight rooms of the Jia family were crazy.

The kitchens of the two mansions went into battle together, and even invited Master Guo and Master Yu of Deyun Building, one of the top ten famous buildings in Beijing, to come over and take charge of the spoon, and the atmosphere of the banquet became even more enthusiastic.

"It's back, it's all back, it's just a few more streets!" A small guy panted through the archway at the east entrance of the street, and ran into the street, the street was quiet, and soon it became noisy again, but the sound was much quieter than before, and the people of the Jia family were soon lined up on both sides of the road.

The sound of horses' hooves drew nearer, and soon, a tall figure in tattered straight armor and a hood rode in.

Jia Hui has already changed into armor in the car, and will perform the ceremony again in a while.

"Brother Hun, what a good one!"

"Brother Hui, Brother Hui!"

This Ning Rong Street exploded, and the sudden shouting even startled Jia Hui, who was talking to Jia Lian.

"Hahaha, long time no see, Uncle Sixteen!"

"Yo, Brother Juan!"

Jia Hui also reacted and greeted the crowd.

Fortunately, many members of the Jia family have experienced the scene of Jia Daihua Jia Daishan brothers, and even Jia Yan Jia Yuan's brothers returning from the expedition, and quickly maintained order, so that the convoy arrived at the main gate of Rongguo Mansion as soon as possible.

"Okay, it's not early, no need to send it anymore, let's go to see the old lady, remember to come to the banquet tomorrow!" Jia Yu said to everyone.

Everyone promised that when they first returned home, they naturally wanted to have a reunion dinner with their families.

They also went home with their wives and children, and waited for three days of feasting starting tomorrow.

A pair of mighty stone lions standing on both sides of the town house to ward off evil spirits, highlighting the majesty of the wealthy family of the Jia family.

Lai Da and several stewards were already waiting respectfully at the door.

The frames of the two aunts drove straight in through the east corner gate when they were worshipping their ancestors.

Jia Yu and the three of them walked through the side door, while Jia Hui had to enter through the gate.

As a lord returning from the expedition, he must have to go to the main gate when he returns home.

Jia Hui tilted his head and looked at the plaque of "Rongguo Mansion" with nostalgia.

Seeing that Jia Hui had been standing at the door without moving, Lai Da was afraid that the old lady would be in a hurry, so he stepped forward and gently reminded Jia Hui.

"Uncle Hui, it's time to cross the brazier, old lady, they're all waiting!"

Jia Hui, who was interrupted from his thoughts, glared at Lai Da, who seemed to be being targeted by a fierce beast, his cold hair stood on end, and cold sweat broke out all of a sudden. lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Jia Hui, and his waist was even more bent.

"Let's go, then." After speaking, Jia Hui stepped over the brazier and strode in, and Lai Da hurriedly followed.

Jia Hui and the three of them got back on their horses and trotted towards Yimen.

The old lady and the ladies were already waiting in the hall in front of the ceremony.

When the men of the family return from the expedition, regardless of their status, they are all going to greet them.

The old lady sat on the low mound, looking at the heroic figure on the horse, as if returning to her youth, when her father-in-law and her husband were like this, wearing war armor and riding war horses, and went home full of exhaustion.

The sound of a bang pulled Jia Mu back to reality from her memory, which was the sound of Jia Hui dismounted and landed on the ground.

"The grandson greets the grandmother, forgive the grandson for being in armor, and he is not allowed to pay full courtesy." Jia Hui saluted the old lady.

"Hurry up and excuse me, come, give your sons and nephews, give your brothers, and unarmor the general!"

Jia Mu gave an order, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Jia Zhen's recently renewed Mrs. You, and Yuan Chun and other ladies rushed up, taking off their helmets and removing their armor.

Seeing the broken pieces of iron on the armor, my sister Yingchun couldn't help but redden.

Stripping off the red cotton robe, Yuan Chun took out a prepared purple narrow-sleeved round neck and put it on Jia Hui, and finally, Mrs. Xing combed Jia Hui's hair, and Yingchun brought a golden crown, and a mighty marquis appeared in front of everyone.

Sitting down in the Rongxi Hall, several younger brothers and sisters and maids knelt down again in unison, shouting that the brothers worked hard for the country.

Knowing that this is the rule of Jiangmen, Jia Hui accepted their gifts with peace of mind, and the glory and wealth they enjoyed had their own credit, and they would take care of them more in the future.

I went to the back to take a shower, my strong body, my body was full of scars and dishonest hands, and the mandarin ducks who came in to help scrub were shy and distressed, and my whole face was red.

At the age of seven or eight, the two brothers and sisters of the Jin family who were sent to the old lady by their parents were favored by their grandfather Jia Daishan because they were smart and clever, and assigned to Jia Hui, the elder brother Jin Wenxiang became Jia Hui's personal entourage, and the younger sister Jin Mandarin Duck was the personal maid in Jia Hui's room.

The old lady also liked them very much and wanted them to come to him on an errand, Jin Wenxiang felt that Jia Hui should not be able to come back, so he agreed on the spot.

And the mandarin duck didn't, and he said that he was a person in Uncle Hun's room and wouldn't go anywhere.

Jia's mother also appreciated her loyalty, and promised to wait for Jia Hui to stay at will after she came back, and there was nothing to do left and right.

Hearing the news of Jia Hui's return, Mandarin Duck immediately asked the old lady to let her go, although the old lady was reluctant, she still went.

This also moved Jia Hui very much, and rubbed her round hands harder.

The mandarin duck, who still retained the last shred of reason, finally pushed Jia Hui away.

"Uncle, old lady, they are still waiting!"

Jia Hui regretfully withdrew the hand that was going to pull the mandarin duck.

If it weren't for the old lady, they were still waiting for the banquet to start, so they would have to pull the mandarin ducks to take a bath.

After rinsing his body with water, the mandarin duck panted, wiped the water stains on Jia Hui's body with difficulty, put on a new middle coat and the purple robe just now, and pushed Jia Hui out of the door with all his strength,...

Huh-

。。。。。。

Jia Hui was amazed with her aftertaste, the little girl's skin is good!

Bee waist and shaved shoulders, duck egg face, black hair, high nose, and a few freckles on both cheeks.

The first time I thought it was a little freckled, but it was quite good-looking.

"Uncle Hui is here!" The little maid waiting at the door had sharp eyes, saw Jia Hui walking here, and hurriedly shouted into the hall, and hurriedly lifted the door curtain.

Jia Yu had also finished washing, and when he was talking to the old lady about the situation in Luoyang Mansion, Jia Zhen was also listening carefully.

"The old lady atoned for her sins, her grandson is late, so she will punish herself three cups first!"

Before he finished speaking, he picked up the flask and drank it all.

The old lady scoffed.

"Look at it, look at it, what kind of attitude is this, it's obviously gluttony!"

The hall burst into laughter.

"Hehe, there's no way, I've been hungry for this Fenjiu!"

Jia Hui sat down as she spoke, looking at the dishes on the table.

The famous dish of Rongguofu town - eggplant.

Jia Hui commented that the taste is average, so it is better to eat chicken directly.

There are also fried quails, stewed elbows with ham, steamed lamb with milk, and fresh bamboo shoot soup with ham. It's full of big fish and meat, and it's very greasy.

The U.S. military wanted to drill a well when they saw these dishes.

Even a big-bellied man like Jia Hui who has something to eat, after eating a meal, he feels that the oil is gushing out of his throat, and he keeps pouring tea into his stomach.

Yueliduo, who grew up eating beef and mutton, was also tired, and only ate a few bites and put it down.

I have to go to the emperor tomorrow morning to say goodbye, and after eating for most of the hour, the gang will disperse.

said goodbye to Jia Zhen and his wife, followed his father Jia Yu for a while, and then took Yue Liduo and Mandarin Duck to Lixiangyuan with lanterns.

As early as when he was still in Chang'an, Jia Hui asked Wei Qi, the housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion in Chang'an, to send a letter to his home, emphasizing that he wanted to live in Lixiangyuan.

This courtyard, which carried all his childhood, will be his residence in Rongguo Mansion in the future.

Yue Liduo was upright and pregnant, resolutely refused Jia Hui's approach, and pushed the mandarin duck into Jia Hui's arms.

As a girl who was trained by her father since she was a child according to the standards of the Han family's concubines, she knows very well the importance of the eldest son to a family.

You can't conceive before your mother gives birth to a son-in-law, even if she gives birth to a girl who doesn't pose a threat to her son-in-law.

As for Jia Hui, there will be other women? She was already ready when she gave her chastity to Jia Hui.

Isn't that the way it should be? How could such a big husband not be loved by other women? As long as I do my job, take care of Jia Hui and the daily life of the housemother in the future, assist the housekeeper to take care of the family, and have a son and a half daughter with Jia Hui after the housemother gives birth to her eldest son.

That night, there was one less girl and one more young woman in this world.

。。。。。。

"Uncle, you're going to the court, get up, get up!"

Before dawn, Yue Liduo had already gotten up, told the little maids to make breakfast, and came in to tell Jia Hui to get up.

Jia Hui yawned, thumped his waist, and turned to get out of bed.

"Smack!" Before getting out of bed, he slapped a round palm.

The tired mandarin duck did not react and rolled over.

"Hurry up!" Yue Liduo also slapped a palm that was still trembling and round, full of elasticity!

"Boom!" The mandarin duck woke up at this time.

"Forget it, let her sleep a little longer, I remember you didn't lie in bed until three poles in the sun at that time!"

Jia Hui walked to the basin where the maid had already made water and washed.

Yue Liduo was also teasing the mandarin ducks, and when she saw Jia Hui speak, she didn't move her hands and feet.

changed into a round-necked and large-sleeved official uniform without a complement, tied a jade belt around his waist, put on a long-winged hood, met Jia Yu in front of the Yimen, and got into a carriage and went to court.

Before noon, Jia Hui was officially introduced by Jia Yu to his uncles who were also the founding fathers for the first time, and several of his brothers were also led by them.

Zhenguo Gong attacked the first-class uncle, Zhenbo Niu Jizong, followed by Niu Zhao, who was also an earl.

Liguo Gong attacked Liu Fang, the first-class son, and beside him was Earl Liu Fang, who was one level higher than him.

Other people I knew also came to say hello.

The so-called first-class sons and first-class uncles belong to the system of the Taizong lineage, and the founding nobles also joined this system when they were re-crowned.

There is nothing to do, it is just a distinction made according to the size of the merit, and of course the top earl and the barely made earl are different.

1,000 households are called first-class uncles, 800 are called second-class uncles, and 600 are called third-class uncles.

Five hundred households are called first-class, four hundred are called second-class, and three hundred are called third-class.

200 households are called first-class men, 100 households are called second-class men, and 50 households are called third-class men.

The first-class and second-class generals below are not falsely sealed.

Although the baron is not counted in the rank, it is actually about the third rank, far less than the first rank of the first-class general, but in the noble circle, the third-class man is more valuable than the first-class general.

The emergence of this system has made the number of noble fires rising day by day, no one obeys anyone, they are all earls, why should Lao Tzu send you two hundred households!

Now, in order to avoid the occurrence of the old affairs of the previous dynasty, this set of things is no longer used, and only the generals of the Tai clan are still using it.

Smoothly arranged to go to the court, as the general of the Great Sima, Jia Hui is still the most noble marquis, standing under the duke and above the princes.

Following Lu Guan, who had the highest merit in this battle, after dozens of people collectively thanked him, the emperor gave everyone three months of vacation to compensate for the hard work of three consecutive years of fighting. The crowd thanked them again.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the early dynasty finally ended, Jia Hui also said goodbye to his brothers, came back late yesterday, did not open the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, everyone was in a hurry to go back to worship the ancestors, and agreed to go hunting in a few days and separated.

Soon returned to Ning Rong Street.

The clansmen of the Jia family were already waiting in front of Ning Guofu.

Everyone was wearing solid color clothes, and the Rongguo Mansion had already sent the court clothes of Jia Yu's father and son, so they waited to come back and change into them.

Jia Yu's father and son and Jia Zhen quickly changed into court clothes.

This dress is also called a sacrificial dress, which is the clothes worn on sacrifices and other occasions, and it is a dress that has been handed down since the Zhou period, and it is the most solemn and solemn. The men of the Jia family also tidied up their clothes and stood there solemnly.

Jia Zhen was at the front, and the rest of the people stood according to their seniority, and seeing that everyone had found their place, Jia Zhen nodded and led everyone into the Jia clan ancestral hall.

In the ancestral hall, there is a portrait of the second prince of Rongning, and there is also a tablet of the ancestor of the Jia family next to it, but it is not as huge as the second prince of Rongning.

This is the glory of the second duke of Ning Rong, their exploits have been left to their descendants, bringing the five generations of the Jia family nearly a hundred years of wealth, so it is natural for future generations to hang the portrait of the second duke of Rong Rong high.

The second duke of Rongning was wearing the court clothes of the national prince, wearing a scarf and a seven-beam crown, and holding a tooth wat in his hand.

In the portraits painted in his later years, his faces are also quite kind and kind, as if they could not bear to show their cruel and murderous side to their children and grandchildren.

Under the auspices of Jia Zhen, after the procedures of "playing music", "three dedications", "worship", "burning silk", "sacrificial wine", etc., Jia Hui visited the ancestors, and then the ceremony was completed.

The men of the Jia family quickly walked out of the ancestral hall.

Everyone did not disperse, but stared at Jia Hui and the others in a daze.

Jia Hui understood in seconds, and when he returned to Ningrong Street, he found that a large detachable round table had been placed in the corner, and yesterday Jia Zhen said that he had invited Guo and Yu from Deyun Building to come over.

Shout at the crowd.

"Uncles and brothers, go home and shout, it's time to open the table!"

"It's time to eat!"
