The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 13 Family Banquet in Jia's Mansion, Appointed to the Ministry of Industry (Please collect recommendation tickets)
The moonlight gradually darkened, but Rongqing Hall was still full of bustle and bustle.

Because of Jiamu's summons, Ningrong and Rongfu were gathered together today.

The Rongqing Hall tonight is extraordinarily lively than usual, among the red flowers, willows and greenery, the hall illuminated by high lamps and long candles is as bright as day.

While coming and going, all the golden hairpins compete for beauty; while laughing and playing, the hall is full of laughter.

Jia Mu sat alone at the head of the bright hall, watching the lively scene in the hall, smiling all over her face.On the low couch next to it, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang Xifeng sat chatting, and behind Mrs. Wang, Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou stood by and waited on them.

On the other side, several girls and daughters-in-law of the fourth generation of the Jia family were gathering together, talking about themselves, while Daiyu was held back by Qin Keqing, the daughter-in-law of Jia Rong in Ningfu, and the two were talking in low voices.

The phoenix egg wearing Jin Daiyu wandered around many girls and daughters-in-law, saying a few words here and laughing a few words there, it was indescribably comfortable and comfortable.

As for the concubine Jia Huan who has been following Baoyu all the time, he tried hard to blend into the lively atmosphere, but it was in vain.

Because Jia Huan's reputation is not very good, the female family members in the field naturally don't want to pay more attention to this person. Even Tanchun, who was born with the same mother, doesn't have a good face towards this tired and lazy guy who is full of five poisons. .

Just as everyone in the hall was laughing, they suddenly heard footsteps outside, and then everyone in the hall saw a maid coming in to report the ceremony.

"Old Ancestor, Eldest Master, Second Master, Uncle Zhen, Third Master Jing and Brother Rong are here!"

Before the maid finished speaking, Jia Amnesty had already entered through the door first, followed by Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Jing and Jia Rong.

All of a sudden, except for Jia Mu, everyone in the room stood up to greet her.

"It's all at my own home, I went to my mother's room, but there are so many things to do." Jia She said with a smile on his face, as if complaining or joking.

Immediately, Jia Amnesty took all the people to greet Jia's mother, and greeted each other with everyone.

Jia's mother just smiled and said, "You, my son is such an old man, he still has such a playful heart, and his etiquette is like this, but what should I do? Do you want to make people laugh for nothing?!"

"What mother said is very true, etiquette cannot be broken!" Jia Zheng said in agreement.

Hearing this, the smile on Mother Jia's face deepened by three points.

Jia Amnesty's expression remained unchanged, his face was still full of smiles, but there was a gloomy flash in his eyes, which was caught by Jia Jing who was standing aside.

Before Jia Jing's thoughts moved, she saw Jia's mother beckoning to herself.

Jia Jing hurried forward and bowed to say hello.

"Brother Jing, you are so tall and handsome now!" Mother Jia looked at the tall and handsome Jia Jing in front of her with a smile on her face. A family banquet, it can be regarded as a clean-up for you."

"I have to bother my ancestors, my grandson is ashamed!" Jia Jing was quite moved, and bowed again with excitement, her lowered eyes were calm, but no one could see it.

"It should be like this. The three years in Liaodong, the rain, snow and wind and frost have made you suffer. But from now on, you will be fine. Working in the Ministry of Industry is no worse than suffering in Liaodong!"

"Okay, old ancestor, let's start the banquet quickly, but I'm already hungry!" Seeing that Jia's mother was so kind to Jia Jing, Baoyu on one side didn't care to laugh among the sisters and sisters. Hurry up and urge Jia Mu to have a banquet.

When Jia Mu heard the words, she laughed again and again: "Okay, okay, since Baoyu has already been urged, let's start the banquet as soon as possible!"

This made Jia Zheng on the other side very angry. Seeing that Jia Amnesty's children were already in the top five ranks, but his own child would only play around in the girls' group, and his etiquette was not at all sensible.

The people in the Ning Mansion are still there, so they are embarrassing themselves!
Immediately shouted angrily: "Nizi, what are you still doing there, come here quickly!"

Hearing Jia Zheng's angry shout, Jia Baoyu, who had just interrupted the conversation between Jia's mother and Jia Jing, was not even happy in time. Thinking of Jia Zheng's training methods in the past, he immediately trembled.Then he immediately turned his gaze to Jiamu's direction, "Old ancestor..."

Seeing Baoyu's trembling and pitiful appearance, Jia's mother softened all of a sudden, "Today is a happy day, and Baoyu is still a child..."

Seeing that Jia's mother had already spoken, Jia Zheng had no choice but to give up.

Although Jia Jing on one side was also grateful to Jia Baoyu for interrupting Jia Mu's provocative scene with her, the other side couldn't help but gasped.

Good guy, even if you have traveled to the parallel world, you can still hear the voice of "so and so is still a child". Sure enough, the bear child is inseparable from the doting of the elders in the family!
In this era when boys who are fifteen or sixteen years old can marry wives, and girls who are fifteen or sixteen years old can marry and have children, Jia Jing calls a child at the age of fifteen or sixteen a cowhide!

Just when Jia Jing was feeling a toothache, a group of maids in red and green came in with exquisite dishes.

On several tables, there was a large table for men from the two houses, and a group of female relatives sat at a table.

All of a sudden, the entire Rongqing Hall was filled with wine and wine, and there was constant laughter.

It was as if everything just now had disappeared.

As for after the dinner, Jia Jing and Yingchun sister and brother shared their thoughts and worries with each other, which is naturally very detailed.

…………

The next morning.

Jia Jing got up early in the morning, and after a simple wash, she changed into the black yarn of the doctor's official uniform that she had received together with the official appointment letter from the Ministry of Officials yesterday.

Lined with white gauze single clothes, red Luo official clothes on the outside, full white socks and black shoes, leather belt and ribbon around the waist, and a beam crown on the head.

On the bright red official robe, a white pheasant spread its wings and flew, and a delicate accessory was hung on the ribbon around the waist, which reflected Jia Jing's more heroic and handsome appearance.

One word, handsome!Just like the readers of this book...

Taking the reins from Laifu next to him, Jia Jing got on the horse.

Just as the horse was about to leave, Jia Jing suddenly remembered something, and said to Laifu on the side: "I don't know what the Zhuangzi I bought outside the city two years ago now. After the city gate opens later, Then you lead those personal guards to the dental shop in Nancheng, buy a few honest and reliable servants, and tidy them up. When I rest and take a bath, go and play."

Laifu quickly responded, and then asked: "Master, do you want to buy some more maids and mothers for your yard? Now that you are a high-ranking official, you don't even have a servant who wakes you up in the morning. Those who have no ambitions are inferior! It is really..."

"That's fine, then you can take a look at it together," Jia Jing didn't object. This is the case in this era, and I also need a few maids to make some sundries, otherwise the huge yard will be empty by myself. It's really not suitable for the two brothers Shuanzhu Laifu.

"Take Shuanzhu with you, and see if anyone likes you. Buy one each, and I will reward you! You two brothers are not young this year!"

After some words, Lai Fu's face turned red, and he didn't know what to say.

Jia Jing chuckled a few times, raised the reins in her hand, tapped the horse's belly lightly with her feet, "drive!"
Immediately, amidst the sound of horseshoes "da da", Jia Jing's figure gradually faded away.

After leaving the Rongguo Mansion by the back door, Jia Jing found that Jia Zheng was also sitting in a small official sedan chair with two lifts behind him, and was about to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry to get a job.

Without waiting for Jia Zheng's intention, Jia Jing headed straight for the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, Yu Hengqing, without stopping.

The horses trotted all the way, left Ningrong Street, passed through Chengxifang, and had a cup of tea. They just came to West Chang'an Avenue, and it was approaching Chenshi (7 to 9 o'clock).

Seeing that there is still a long way to go, Jia Jing is very glad that she has traveled to this parallel world of the Red Mansion.Except for a few big dynasties every year, the early dynasties of the Great Zhou Empire are only on the first and fifteenth day of each month, and the rest of the time is handled in their respective yamen, and the working hours of the yamen are also the same as the nine to five on the earth. Almost, at the hour of the hour, at the sunset, at the Yamen, and on five days off, it can be said to be very comfortable.

It’s not like the Ming Dynasty on earth. It’s called the Chang Dynasty, the kind that goes to court every day, and you have to wait at the gate of the palace at Yinshi (3:5 to [-]:[-] in the morning). have to.

Just thinking about how miserable the officials of the Ming Dynasty were on Earth, Jia Jing suddenly saw from a distance that Yu Hengqing, the official of the yamen, had arrived.
