The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 12 Rich and filial piety to Jia Jing's return home (recommendation ticket for collection)
Not to mention Yingchun almost shed tears on the side.

Following Jiamu's opening, Mrs. Xing arranged for the mothers-in-law and maidservants to pass on the gifts.

After a while, I saw a few rough envoy women carrying up several large boxes with a height of half a person, lifted the lid, and placed them neatly in the hall.

Everyone looked into the boxes curiously, but they saw that except for the last two boxes where animal fur could be directly seen inside, the other boxes could only see gift boxes of various sizes inside.

Mrs. Xing took the gift list and read: "These boxes contain two 60-year-old ginseng from Changbai Mountain in Liaodong, six [-]-year-old wild ginseng, and [-]-year-old wild ginseng."

After a pause, Mrs. Xing continued: "In addition, there are two tiger skins and bear skins, thirty white fox and sable skins, one box of Dongzhu, ten pairs of antlers, ten ganoderma lucidum, one box of Cordyceps, and four boxes of matsutake ..."

As Mrs. Xing reported the contents of the box one by one, everyone was quite surprised. Jia Jing's filial piety was not cheap, as you can see from Jia Amnesty's red eyes next to her.

Mother Jia's heart couldn't help but move, she never expected that her concubine's grandson would actually give herself such a generous gift, and her favorability for Jia Jing increased a lot.

After all, who can resist the temptation of a large sum of money?

While everyone was looking at the items in the box curiously, Jia Amnesty said again: "Mother, there is one more thing. Brother Jing's yard is probably going to be replaced."

Hearing this, Mother Jia asked curiously, "How did you say that?"

"Brother Jing came back from Liaodong, and now he is an official. If he lives in the remote courtyard before, if two friends from the yamen come to visit again, it will be a bit..."

Mother Jia nodded, "You're right. Brother Jing is now a fifth-rank official in Beijing, and it's indeed a bit inappropriate to live there. It's just for nothing that people will see the jokes in our house."

After thinking about it for a while, he ordered: "Yuanyang, you take a few maids and servant girls to tidy up the newly tidied up big flower hall in the backyard. Brother Jing will live there from now on."

Mrs. Xing smiled and said: "Mother is really considerate. Brother Jing lives there, so he can be a companion with Brother Lian, so that the two brothers can get close to each other."

…………

At the gate of Rongguo Mansion, several men who had just come off their shifts were sitting in the side room next to them to rest and chat. The topic of course was the two brothers Shuanzhu and Laifu who had just entered the mansion, and there was no lack of envy and jealousy in their words.

Envious of the two having a good master, and jealous of their current achievements.

Suddenly, a few doors heard the sound of horseshoes coming from far and near in the street outside.

"Da da!"

"Da da da!"

A total of thirteen knights arrived in no time, and all of them reined in their horses and stopped at the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

The cavalry were armored with horses and horses, and the dim starlight in the sky was reflected on the thick fish-scale armor. A cold, iron-blooded will that overwhelmed the mountains and the seas came oncoming, and the momentum was extremely frightening.

It should be said that Jia Jing led this group of cavalry (well, they were only infantry before they were promoted) and fought a lot of battles, large and small, in the past three years, and each of them had countless enemy blood on their hands. , coupled with the taciturnity of the system soldiers (low intellect), just standing there, the clear and chilling aura made the group of disciples fight each other, and their speech became a little stuttering.

Fortunately, the leader, Menzi, was a little more stable, and under the watchful eyes of a group of cavalry, he was able to stand up to the pressure and salute.

The first time they saw Jia Jing, they recognized Jia Jing, who had been extremely frustrated in Jia's mansion, and now the Third Master Jing.

Immediately, the door shouted in surprise: "Master Jing is back!"

Immediately sent one of the doormen next to him to report inside, "You, hurry up inside and report to the old man, and say that the third master Jing is back!"

The leader, Menzi, happily let Jia Jing in.

At this time, Lai Shangrong Lai Da, the chief steward of the Rongguo Mansion who had been waiting in the gatehouse next to the main entrance, hurried out to greet him when he heard the commotion outside.

He straightened his clothes as he walked, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a group of cavalry holding down their saddles, turning over and getting off their horses together.

Except for the clinking sound of the metal plates on the armor colliding with each other, the dozen or so cavalry did not make any sound. The formation was neat and the movements were uniform. They were indeed the elite of the elite!

Lai Da brought a few servants to greet him hurriedly, "Welcome the third master back to the mansion! Greetings to the master!"

"Everyone, get up." Jia Jing lightly raised his whip, signaling to all the servants to excuse himself, and then stepped off the horse.

As soon as he got off his horse, Lai Dadian stepped forward and took the rein from Jia Jing's hand, and then took the helmet that Jia Jing took off.

Holding the rein in one hand and holding Jia Jing's helmet, Lai Da led Jia Jing into the Rongguo Mansion through the side door.

"By the way, I have to trouble Manager Lai to find a place for my soldiers to settle down, and then prepare some meals. As for the money, I will let Laifu send it to the account later."

After thinking about it for a while, Jia Jing added: "Enough meat, no wine."

Lai Da hurriedly agreed, and Dang even arranged for a servant to lead a group of soldiers to enter through the back door, pass through the Lixiang Garden, bypass the courtyard of housekeeper Zhou Rui's house, and stop in front of the courtyard specially reserved for Jia Jing's soldiers behind the Dahua Hall down the steps.

"Third Master, when the Eldest Master ordered me to wait for you at the gate, let the servants lead you to the ancestral hall directly. The Eldest Master, the Second Master, and Uncle Zhen at the Ning Mansion are all waiting for you there Nah."

Hearing this, Jia Jing nodded, "It's time to kowtow to the ancestor first, then go directly to the ancestral hall!"

Jia's Ancestral Hall is located on the west side of Ningguo Mansion. Go out from the small gate behind Jia She's courtyard, pass through the private alley between Ningrong and Rongfu, and you will arrive at the gate of Jia's Ancestral Hall in Ningguo Mansion.

The first thing you see is a row of tall and dense black oil fences; after that, there is a five-bay gate with a four-character plaque on the gate of "Jia's Ancestral Hall".Two huge lanterns hung on the gate tower, illuminating the entrance of the ancestral hall.

Walking into the gate of the ancestral hall, and then passing through a white stone corridor, we arrived at Jia's ancestral hall.

And as soon as he entered the ancestral hall, Jia Jing saw his cheap father and cheap second uncle sitting on the side chair drinking tea together.

The two sitting on the other side, about forty years old, are the current heads of the Ningguo Mansion, and are also the current head of the Jia family. .

There is also a young man in his early twenties, Jia Zhen's son, Jia Rong.

"Third Uncle Jing!" Seeing Jia Jing coming in, Jia Rong hurriedly got up, stepped forward to salute and said, "My nephew was meeting friends outside, and he came back a bit late, so I didn't have time to go to the door to greet him, please forgive me, Third Uncle!"

Jia Jing said it didn't matter.

Because it is not a big sacrifice, so this time the ancestor worship is just a few men who are in charge of the Ningrong Second Mansion.

After greeting each other, Jia Zhen took the lead and took Jia Jing to worship in the ancestral hall, and reported to the ancestors the news that Jia Jing had been made an official and a nobleman, and the sacrifice was over.

After the sacrifice, everyone went to Rongguo Mansion along the way Jia Jing had come.

However, Mother Jia ordered her servants to inform the two houses in the afternoon that they would hold a banquet in the Rongqing Hall in the evening, inviting people from the two houses to go to the lively scene, which can be regarded as a cleansing for Jia Jing.
